Hundreds will return to Keyesville to enjoy a camping experience the last official weekend of the summer season.

Corps Begins Real Estate Actions John Prettyman USACE Courier Release The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District has begun to acquire land and relocate residents at two of 12 properties that will be impacted by construction

of the Isabella Lake Dam Safety Modification Project. As part of the analysis of the project's potential effects on the properties, the Corps released a finding of no significant impact and supplemental environmental assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to analyze environmental and health impacts of the dam project and identify a preferred action to mitigate impacts on the two properties. The commander of the Sacramento District signed a finding of no significant impact agreeing that the Corps' preferred action to acquire land and relocate residents is the best alternative, satisfies

the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and no further environmental documentation is needed. The affected parcels evaluated in the assessment are the Lakeside Village mobile home park and a farmhouse located approximately 700 feet south of the auxiliary dam. The Isabella Lake Dam project environmental impact statement released in October 2012 determined that residents at the two properties could potentially be exposed to significant construction conditions that exceed health standards. Real estate actions are expected to be complete fall 2016.

Be quake safe Michael Batelaan Courier FYI The 6.0 magnitude earthquake in California last weekend is a stark reminder for the more than 42 U.S. states at-risk for earthquakes to take action to prevent injuries, post-earthquake fires, and property damage before the ground shakes. The nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes offers step-by-step instructions to protect your home and family from earthquakes in a how-to video, Look up, Look Around, Look Down. Look Up ■ Support ceiling fans and light pendants with the use of bracing wire secured to a screw eye embedded at least an inch into the ceiling joist. ■ Brace masonry chim-

neys back to the roof joists or reinforce roof sheathing to protect the home from falling masonry. Look Around ■ Anchor the tops of bookcases, file cabinets and entertainment centers to one or more studs with flexible fasteners to prevent tipping. ■ Secure loose shelving by screwing into the cabinet or with museum putty placed at each corner bracket. ■ Secure china, collectibles, trophies and other shelf items with museum putty. ■ Secure televisions, computers and stereos with buckles and safety straps that also allow easy removal and relocation. ■ Install latches on cabinet doors to prevent them from opening and spilling out their contents.

■ Hang mirrors, pictures and plants using closed hooks to prevent items from falling. ■ Cover windows with approved shatter-resistant safety film to protect against broken glass. Look Down ■ Ensure appliances have flexible gas or electrical connections. ■ Strap the top and bottom of a water heater using heavy-gauge metal strapping secured to wall studs. ■ Locate your gas shutoff valve and ensure you know how to turn off the gas supply to your home with the use of a suitable wrench. ■ Relocate flammable liquids to a garage or outside storage location.

Information related to the Keyesville planning process is available online at: blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bakersfield/Programs/Recreation_opportunities/keyesville_pla nning.html. This will soon be updated with the latest information.

I enjoy going to garage sales throughout the Valley. I'm always looking for a treasure and end up buying something I don't need. Usually that something is a cup! Cups are fun to buy and are usually sold for 10 to 25 cents each (which appeals to my Scotch heritage). Garage sale cups come in all sizes, shapes and colors. It doesn't take long to find unusual and ugly cups usually setting on a table surrounded by junk. It's amazing that over the years I have collected well over 200 of these odd cups. Some of them advertise a product which are given away at grand openings, or were originally bought while visiting some exotic place like Buttonwillow or Bodfish The question that occurs as you are looking at it is why are they selling it and could I get away with drinking coffee with it at breakfast? Some cups have legs attached to the bottom with little shoes or ugly feet supporting the mug. Other cups are shaped like vegetables, for instance I have one mug that looks like a shiny pumpkin with a candle inside. I'm constantly in awe at the ideas some people come up with while building a cup with clay and then glazing and firing these unusual cre-

Let me give you some examples of cups I have collected. Some of my favorites are used when company comes and are conversation pieces. They are: A cup advertising Hastings Oil Filters # 233; a bunny rabbit holding a carrot; a cup that has a molded laughing face on its side; a cup from Maui with a handle shaped like a Dolphin; a green Ninja Turtle cup; a mug with cards encircling it showing a full house; a square cup touting RT 66; and a cup with a chili recipe written on the side. It's always fun to find these unusual mugs, and there are always some, at almost any garage sale. I will say that once in awhile we have had a garage sale of our own, but have never sold a cup, we just keep them all! My wife says there is a couple that she hopes get broken but we won't talk about these and don't share them with our company. Let me end this column by describing my favorite cup which I seldom drink from but like to have around just for kicks. The mug has written in large letters on the side "THIS IS A POLEESH COFFEE CUP" and the handle is inside instead of outside. I laugh every time I look at it. I've noticed no one wants to use it but me (holding on to the handle is a real challenge). Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired security manager for Pacific Bell.

Message of faith

Grace to Obey Jack Duitsman Courier Columnist What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? - Romans 6:1 The tension between grace and Duitsman obedience is ever present and requires a vigilant focus if blessing is to be found. Teeter too far in the celebration of grace without any thought of obedience, and the blessing that emanates from a life determined to live according to the precepts laid down in the Scriptures will be missed. Yet totter too long in the direction of obedient response to Biblical mandate without the understanding that grace is and will always be the foundational principle undergirding a life of effective obedience, and legalism and selfrighteousness will be found crouching at the door of our heart. There is a majestic beauty to be found here which has a profound capacity to bring freedom to our souls. For every willing heart, the embrace of God's amazing grace given in Jesus Christ will bring about a thriving desire to enjoy the blessing found in obedience to the Word, and every obedient response will bring with it a deeper gratitude for the grace that brought about such compliance. Of course we are familiar with the

age old belief that the Bible is little more than a book of do's and don'ts. The call to adherence to any form of devotion or discipline is often met with loud cries of dismay, and if there is any way to wriggle off the hook of responsibility to such a call, we are glad to take that exit. "Be anxious for nothing," and "Trust in the Lord with all your heart," are grand ideas in the high moments of life, but become much more difficult to live out in the crucible of life's activity that often seem to fly in the face of such Scriptural injunction. If God's requirements can be considered unjust, overbearing, or misguided when applied to a poor defenseless soul such as ours, then we might be able to justify our sinful response. The invitation from the Father's heart is to walk more and more in obedience to His Word. Lying is replaced by truth; bitterness finds the power of forgiveness too powerful to resist; and self-worship finds a better response in giving praise to the One from Whom all blessings flow. May the understanding of our hearts ever be that such a call to obedience is from The Lord of grace Who loves us with an everlasting love. Let us ever celebrate grace as those who are being set free by the power of the One Who has given grace, and then hear the Father's heartbeat in every call to walk obediently in that which is laid down in the Word. Jack Duitsman pastors Father’s Heart Foursquare Church in Kernville.

S P E Labor Day, defined

Labor Day is annually held on the first Monday of September. It was originally organized to celebrate various labor associations’ strengths of and contributions to the United States economy. Many people mark Labor Day as the end of the summer season and a last chance to make trips or hold outdoor events. The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of the Central Labor Union to create a holiday for workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894. It was originally intended that the day would be filled with a street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. After the parade, a festival was to be held to amuse local workers and their families. One of the reasons for choosing to celebrate this on the first Monday in September was to add a holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. - timeanddate.com

The lazy days of summer come to a close with the Labor Day weekend.

Labor Day Weekend on the Kern River Ranger District Alicia Embrey, USFS Courier Holiday With Labor Day weekend approaching, Officials with the U.S. Forest Service, Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument wish you a safe and fun holiday as we celebrate the unofficial end of summer. Hike a trail, fish or swim in our beautiful rivers and lakes. The three-day weekend is always busy on the Forest. If you have not reserved a campsite, you will be able to find somewhere to camp. Visit fs.usda.gov/sequoia to help plan your trip. Here are some important things to be aware of this summer: Because of high fire risks everyone is urged to be extra cautious during the holiday weekend. Burning is restricted state-wide. Visitors to recreation areas need to be extremely cautious and avoid starting new wildfires while enjoying the last long weekend of summer with their friends and families. A number of areas are closed to visitors and campers due to high fire danger. Check in advance to obtain current information on closures of public lands and fire restrictions. Kern River Ranger District ■ Campfire restrictions in effect: On the Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument, campfires and barbecues are only allowed in developed campgrounds or areas designated as exempt from fire restrictions. A list of designated exempt areas can be obtained online or at one of our offices. Visitors are allowed to have a portable gas stove or lantern (with an off switch/valve) outside developed or designated areas with a valid California campfire permit. A campfire permit can be obtained, free of charge, at any Forest Service, CALFIRE, or Bureau

of Land Management office or by visiting the Sequoia National Forest website. ■ Camping along Upper Kern: To promote a healthy ecosystem along the Wild and Scenic Upper Kern River, camping is now permitted only in developed (fee) campgrounds and undeveloped (free) camping areas. Day-use activities such as fishing and picnicking are allowed within the rest of the corridor, but camping is not allowed outside of the named fee and free camping areas. ■ New group camping: Halfway and Thunderbird have been converted to group campgrounds on the Upper Kern with a total of nine group campsites accommodating between 12-50 people. These fee campsites are now managed by California Land Management and may be reserved by visiting recreation.gov. ■ No showers: Coin-operated showers at all Forest Service and CLM operated campgrounds will be inoperable for the summer to conserve water for drinking and flush toilets. Some private campgrounds allow non-guests to shower for a small fee. ■ Some fees waived: Due to access issues, Kern River District Ranger Al Watson waived day-use and overnight camping fees at Auxiliary Dam, Old Isabella, and South Fork Recreation from July 1 to October 1. The Kernville and Blackrock Offices will be closed on Labor Day. The Kernville Forest Service office is normally open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 760-376-3781, while the Lake office will remain open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 760-379-5646. The Blackrock Ranger Station is open Thursday through Monday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 559-539-2607 ext. 72276.

At Isabella Lake, there are several campsites available on a firstcome, first-served basis. Camp 9 Recreation Area, located off Sierra Way along the northeast shoreline of Isabella Lake, offers several individual and group campsites for overnight and day use camping. Camp 9 has potable water in spigots, a dump station and a fish cleaning station. Hanning Flat and Stine Cove are open for shoreline camping with no fees. These are dispersed campgrounds with no potable water. Lakeshore camping is permitted at Auxiliary Dam, Old Isabella Road and South Fork Recreation Area with the purchase of a Southern Sierra Pass. Visitors can obtain their pass at Golden State Surplus, Kern Valley Marina and both Sierra Gateway Markets. Cost is $10 per vehicle for overnight and day use or visitors can purchase a $50 annual pass. The California Land Management managed campsites can be reserved at recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. These sites around Isabella Lake include Tillie Creek, Live Oak North and South, Boulder Gulch, Hungry Gulch, French Gulch, Pioneer Point and Paradise Cove. Along the Upper Kern River are Headquarters, Camp 3, Hospital Flat, Goldledge and Fairview. Limestone is a first-come, firstserved campground, and has no potable water. On the lower river, Hobo Campground is first-come first- served; while Sandy Flat can be reserved through the CLM Reservation system. Several “undeveloped” camping areas along the Upper Kern River are available free of charge. Campsites and campfire rings need to be back at least 25 feet from the river’s edge. This maintains the ecology of this congressionally-designated Wild and Scenic River’s riparian corridor and protects water quality in the Kern River. Visitors need to keep the area free of litter and are encouraged to use existing sanitation facilities. On the Kern Plateau, Kennedy Meadows, Fish Creek and Troy Meadow are open for the season. These campgrounds are $17 per night. No potable water is available at these campgrounds at this time. Please bring your own water or be prepared to treat water when visiting these campgrounds. On the west side of the Plateau, Horse Meadow Campground is open, but also has no potable water at this time. These campgrounds also operate on a firstcome, first-served basis. Cherry Hill Road and Sherman Pass Road are now

Renegade academic Sam Struckhoff Picks of the Week “Words and Pictures” (PG13) — In an leafy and enchanting New England prep school, teacher Jack Marcus (Clive Owen) acts as a bit of a renegade academic, daring his students to truly experience literature. See, he's a washed-up author who's become quite a drinker and an even bigger windbag. Enter the new art teacher, Dina (Juliette Binoche), a tight-lipped fine-art painter who left the big city. Jack and Dina have lots of pseudointellectual banter before falling in love. The movie's ongoing debate over the superior artistic medium -- words or pictures -- seems more than a little forced. We're watching a movie, so clearly both are just as important, right? For a movie about a witty romance between smart people, it sure takes the slow and obvious route. “Brick Mansions” (PG-13) — A brutal crime lord has acquired a weapon of mass destruction, and it's up to two hardcore dudes to shut it down with as many awesome stunts as possible. Paul Walker, in his last complete film, stars as a narcotics detective in a near-future version of Detroit. He's paired with Lino (David Belle), an acrobatic ex-con who's dedicated to getting gangs and drugs out of his neighborhood.

utes to make the patties easier to handle, if desired. Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray; fry tuna patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. These are fragile, so be careful when turning them. Serve on buns with tomato slices and lettuce leaves, if desired.

The action is downright impressive: Belle is a legend in the world of Parkour, the sport of moving rapidly over obstacles using only momentum. Without wires or computer assistance, this guy leaps across rooftops and bounces around faster than Daffy Duck. Though it's no fault of Walker's, this movie doesn't stack up to its source, a 2004 French flick called "District B-13." “The Hornet's Nest” (R) — Real footage from the front lines shows the chaos of war in this documentary made by directors David Salzburg and Christian Turead, using video from journalist Mike Boettcher. In a mountainous region of Afghanistan, along the Pakistani border, the 101st Airborne descends into the Kunar valley to fight Taliban forces running the area. It was predicted to be a day-long mission, but it turned into nine days of fighting. This documentary doesn't go into causes or impacts of the war, but focuses on the astounding experiences of the troops in the thick of it.

Public Lands Day and Historic Tour in Keyesville The Bureau of Land Management's Bakersfield Field Office will host a National Public Lands Day volunteer event at the Keyesville Special Recreation Management Area near Lake Isabella in September. The volunteer event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27. Participants should meet at the Keyesville Staging Area about six miles west of Highway 155 on Keyesville Road. "Members of the public can take part in this national effort by helping the Bakersfield BLM staff clean up areas and install kiosks and interpretive material at the historic Walker Cabin and various other sites throughout Keyesville," said Brian Chartier, event organizer for BLM. Participants should bring plenty of water, sunscreen and a bag lunch. Wear closed-toe sturdy shoes such as hiking boots. The BLM will provide work gloves. After the work projects, an interpretive tour of the Walker Cabin, Keyes Mine and other sites of interest will be provided by BLM staff and volunteers. Keyesville is a diverse recreation area where people come to camp, fish, kayak, bike, and explore some of California's rich local historic sites such as the Walker Cabin. The historic Walker Cabin remains a local fascination for both explorers and history buffs. The cabin was witness to an old west shootout that left three notorious gunslingers dead without a suspect or witness. Some claim the cabin is haunted. For more information, contact Chartier at brien_chartier@blm.gov, 661-391-6000, or visit the website blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/bakersfield/Programs/Recreation_opportunities/Keyesville_SRMA.html USFS

Trail of 100 Giants boardwalk Construction begins Trail of 100 Giants, located in the Western Divide Ranger District, Giant Sequoia National Monument, Sequoia National Forest will be partially closed to travelers for the next couple of months. Construction of the boardwalk alongside the fallen sequoias will begin as early as Monday, August 11th and is expected to last through the end of the year. The Sequoia National Forest has contracted with Tate Nagle of "DBA Nagle Earthworks" to construct the boardwalk to fully reopen this trail to the public. "Two giant sequoias fell onto the trail in September 2011 which blocked access for those with disabilities to continue around this loop trail, I would like to see this loop opportunity re-opened to all visitors," stated Western Divide District Ranger Rick Stevens. The boardwalk will be constructed out of wood and run 100 feet along the edge of the fallen sequoias. This fully accessible walkway will be six feet wide and have handrails. It will be elevated off the ground an average of 5 feet. No sequoia trees will be cut to construct the boardwalk. This work will require a temporary closure of the west loop accessed from the day use parking area and at times the parking area will be occupied by construction vehicles. The loop accessed from Redwood Meadow Campground will continue to be open and available to both campers and day users. No work will occur on the weekends. For more information please contact the Western Divide District office at 559539-2607 during normal business hours Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Forest proposes Ecosystem Restoration Project Forest officials on the Western Divide Ranger District are asking the public to comment on the proposed Tobias Forest Ecosystem Restoration Project (Tobias Project http://bit.ly/1AsmWsU). The Tobias Project proposes to treat approximately 4,260 acres near Portuguese Pass in the Sequoia National Forest, outside the boundaries of the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Treatments would include both commercial and non-commercial activities to thin ladder fuels; restore species composition to those present before fire suppression and logging; and increase the resiliency of stands of trees to drought, insects and fire. The Tobias project area covers approximately 11,000 acres, mostly in Tulare County with a small portion in Kern County. Information related to the Tobias Project can be obtained for review online at fs.usda.gov/projects/sequoia/landmanagement/projects or in hard copy at the Springville Office, 32588 Highway 190, Springville. Comments will be accepted through September 11 by the following methods: in writing, Attn: District Ranger Rick Stevens, 32588 Highway 190, Springville CA 93265, dropped off during business hours Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., submitted by fax to 559-539-2067. Electronic comments in common (.doc, .pdf, .rtf and .txt) formats may be emailed to comments-pacificsouthwest-sequoia@fs.fed.us with Subject: Tobias. Names of commenters will be part of the public record subject to the Freedom of Information Act. For additional information, please contact O'Dell Tucker, District Planner, at the Western Divide Ranger District 559-539-2607 ext. 72213 or at otucker@fs.fed.us

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Changing your mind doesn't come easily for Lambs, who place a high value on commitment. But new facts could emerge that might persuade you to rethink your situation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine's eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don't forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don't let difficult people raise the Crab's ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week's end. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you're getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you've been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might have to work harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week's end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although family matters again take up a big chunk of the Goat's time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you'd been contemplating for a while. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Applying your practicality (what does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hatchery museum open to visitors Courier Feature The correct name for the Kernville Fish Hatchery is the Kern River Trout Planting Base, because it no longer hatches trout. However, renovations are in process to enable the Hatchery to once again raise Kern River Rainbow Trout to restore that trout to its natural habitat. Whatever you call it (most people around here still call it the Hatchery), it has been a focal point of the Kern Valley since it was built in 1928. It is run by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Originally it was built by the Kern County Fish and Protective Game Association, but in 1929 the DFW took over the operation. In 1994, after budget cuts the base was about to be closed completely. But happily it is still raising and

planting trout for the enjoyment of the many anglers that come here to the Kern River Valley to fish. The hatchery grounds include a natural history museum, which features displays of angling artifacts and local wildlife. Low water conditions in the Kern River, high air temperatures occurring at the Hatchery have made conditions not habitable for trout. Therefore, there will be no more stocking of trout this season. It is estimated that the activity on the Hatchery grounds will resume in late October. The hatchery museum is open even though the rest of the hatchery is closed. It is open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fish hatchery is located at 14400 Sierra Way, just opposite Camp Owen, and is free to visit. For more information, call 760-376-2846.
