Vulture out to the Kern River Preserve Reed Tollefson Courier Sightings Fall is here and the birds are moving from their summer breeding grounds in North America to the wintering grounds in Central and South America. As birds fly south they need places like the Kern River Preserve to rest and replenish on their way. One of the largest concentrations of migrating Turkey Vultures in North America comes down the Sierra Nevada and through the Kern Valley. If we are lucky we may see "kettles" of vultures swirling up into the morning sky around 8:30 a.m. This is a great time of year to get out and enjoy the Kern River Preserve. ■ 7 a.m. - Early Bird Walk - The nature trails at the Kern River Preserve are beautiful in the fall. Take this walk with local guide to see birds and wildlife. ■ 8:15 to 10 a.m. Bird Walk with Bob Barnes (beginner to expert).

Gastronomical choices abound with a reported 60 food vendors at this year's run of the Kern County Fair. As you eat your way across the fairgrounds among the gauntlet of food and drink vendors you're going to swear there are even more. The key words will be jumbo, combo, small, medium, large, cash or charge. Be sure to bring much of the latter although ATM's can be found about the fair grounds. For those on the move, you'll find everything is offered on a stick. Egg rolls, fruit, pizza, spuds, sausage, caramel and candied apples and of course County Fair corn dogs, On sandwiches, pastrami looks to be king with deep pit beef, Phillies, Rubens, and French dipped not far behind.

Auto Theft Investigation in Kern Valley In the Kern County Sheriff's Office's on-going efforts in Data Driven Policing, the deputies at the Kern Valley Substation noticed an increase in auto theft crimes over the past three months. There were 13 auto theft crimes during the month of August, compared to eight in July and four in June. On September 17, the deputies at the Kern Valley Substation conducted a joint operation with the California Highway Patrol's Kern County Auto Theft Task Force, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the United States Marshall's Service, Ridgecrest Substation, and the Kern Valley Substation to combat the auto theft problem. During the operation, a total of 18 officers conducted saturated patrol in the communities of Lake Isabella, Bodfish, Weldon, Onyx, Wofford Heights and Kernville. The purpose was to conduct traffic/pedestrian stops on subjects who we found reasonable suspicion to stop. A stolen motorcycle was recovered in the Weldon area and the suspect was arrested for being in possession of the stolen motorcycle. During this operation a total of six people were arrested for crimes ranging from being under the influence, felony warrants for stolen vehicles and being in possession of a stolen motorcycle. The Kern County Sheriff's Office is committed to work in partnership with our communities to try and solve crime, using Data Driver Policing and any other tool at our dispense. These types of operations will continue on a regular basis if we notice crime going up. Anyone with information regarding auto theft, or other criminal activity, in the Kern River Valley is urged to contact the Kern County Sheriff's Office Kern Valley Substation at 760-549-2100, or communications center at 800-861-3110.
DEA Drug Take Back Day On Saturday, September 26 the Kern County Sheriff's Office will once again partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration for an eighth time to collect potentially dangerous, unused medications from medicine cabinets and homes throughout Kern County. The Nationwide Drug Take-Back Day will provide a unique opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutically controlled substances or other medications to law enforcement officers for destruction. This one day effort will also bring national attention to the issue of the dangers associated with the abuse of pharmaceutical drugs, and the inherent danger of these substances falling into the hands of juveniles. Previous Take-Back Day events have been a huge success. Due to the overwhelming turnout at those events, the Sheriff's Office will be hosting Take-Back collection sites at the Kern Valley Substation, 7046 Lake Isabella Blvd. in Lake Isabella. Sheriff's Office personnel will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to accept unused and unwanted medications. The service is free of charge, anonymous, and no questions asked. The following regulations apply to the program: ■ Only controlled, non-controlled, and over the counter substances will be collected. ■ Participants must maintain control of the substances they wish to drop off until it is placed in a container at the drop off site. ■ Only pills, tablets, and capsules will be accepted. ■ Intra-venous solutions, injectables, and syringes will not be accepted. ■ Illegal, illicit substances will not be accepted. Additional collection sites in Kern County can be found by visiting dea.gov If you would like additional information, please contact Kern County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Ray Pruitt at 661-391-7605 or by email at pruittr@kernsheriff.com.
Initial Ashley manhunt cost released Kern County Administrative Office John Nilon released a preliminary report last week regarding the overall cost of the recent manhunt that began late July and ended with Ashley's death August 15. Hundreds of local and assisting outside law enforcement officers searched remote terrain for the man wanted for the kidnapping of three young men, the murder of a retired Tehachapi dentist, and the shooting of two Kern County deputies. The initial estimate for the search is $1.54 million with additional invoices from cooperating agencies and services expected to come in over the next few months. Nilon reported to the Board of Supervisors the breakdown as follows: $56,000 for overtime for exempt county employees; $1,173,000 for overtime for non-exempt county employees; $12,000 for food; $52,000 for lodging; $127,000 for fuel; and $118,000 for equipment and maintenance. According to Sheriff Youngblood part of the fuel costs included payment for the fuel for outside agencies as per an agreement made with them. Nilon anticipates that the Board of Supervisors may identify budgetary needs that may be impacted by this unexpected expense.
Getting older has its peculiarities that seem to grow as we age. Mine is losing things. I have always lost things but now it is almost an epiMiddleworth demic. I will say to my wife, "Have you seen my keys?" and she'll say, "What keys?" and then I will say, either it's my house key, my shop key, my garage key, my truck key, my trailer key, my car key and the keys to various other locks. The first place I look is on a key shaped board about 15" high that has cup hooks for hanging keys and was made for me by my son when he was in the 7th grade. Supposedly I hang my keys there when I come home or need a lock unlocked, but this only works if you put the keys there first! I could go on and on about losing keys but what this is, is an introduction to something that recently happened. In our house, I lose things and my wife doesn't. When I go to her as a last resort she eventually finds them for me. However, yesterday she lost her glasses! She looked and looked. She looked in the car, the garage, on the ground between the garage and the house, the bathrooms, the laundry room, the kitchen, the office and finally as a last resort, she said, "Would you
help me find my glasses?" This was a first! I must admit I had a little rush knowing that she had finally joined me in the quest for something lost! So with a smile on my face and a chuckle in my heart, I began helping her find her lost glasses. Together we retraced all of the possible steps and places but, those glasses were not to be found. She looked at me and finally said, "Well, I'll wear my old glasses, the lost ones will turn up somewhere." We decided to make one last sweep of the house to find the lost. On my final swing in our guest bedroom, on the dresser, was what looked like her glasses! I knew it was and I called out to her, "Guess what I found!" I walked into the kitchen where she was and handed her the glasses. I said to her, "Well, the lost has been found! Here they are!" and she said, "Those are not MY glasses, they are yours!" Then she looked closely at me and said, "You are wearing MY glasses!" And I was. We both have almost the same prescription and I hadn't noticed the difference. I had been wearing those things for over two hours. My wife was really good about not rubbing it in, but I could see a glint of amusement in her eyes, and I have a new place to look for things, especially glasses on my own face! And the usual places for keys. Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired security manager for Pacific Bell.

Who's the Greatest Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist There was boxer born in KY in 1942, whose name was Cassius Clay, but when he joined the Nation of Islam, and became a Sunni Muslim in 1975 he changed it to Schlensker Muhammad Ali. After his considerable success in the boxing ring he asserted "I am the greatest!" And he asserted his greatness by defying the Selective Service and, according to Wikipedia, proudly demonstrated his "embrace of racial pride and his willingness to antagonize the establishment in doing so." That was greatness for Cassius Clay. We often think of well-known super-star types as being great, whether they succeed in sports, literature, academic pursuits, show business, politics, or the corporate world. And as we watch those great people travel and interact with other folks, we usually perceive them as receiving special consideration and respect and being waited on in our society. That's a pretty common view of what greatness is all about in our world today. We hear that Jesus' disciples had some discussions-even argumentsabout who among them was the greatest (Mark 9:34, Luke 9:46, 22:24). That greatness likely focused on respect received in the community, who was the Teacher's favorite student, who did best in the area of being good, and who'd be called upon
to serve in the cabinet of the new King Jesus in His new realm, which would parallel the glorious administrations of David and Solomon. We see that opinion evidenced in the disciples' question to Jesus on the mount of His ascension after His resurrection from the dead; they asked, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts 1:6) That'd be pretty great. However, such arguments and discussions about worldly greatness displeased Jesus. He repeatedly tried to show the disciples what true greatness was all about. In Mark 9:35 we hear that Jesus called the Twelve and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first (greatest), he must be the very last, and the servant of all." Contrary to popular perception and belief, which says that great people have servants and are waited on, Jesus says that truly great people don't have servants; they are servants of others. In a most poignant way Jesus modeled the servanthood He described when He said "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13) by offering His own body as the human sacrifice for the sins of the world on the cross. In view of Jesus' ultimate servanthood on our behalf, His admonition to us comes through the apostle Paul, who says, "I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God" (Romans 12:1). So, to be great, serve greatly. Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Stomach, Continued from page 1 dog, hamburger and cheese burger. Chili, cheese and onions can also be ordered topped on just about everything. Everyday's a 'Fryday' at the fair. If it can be battered dipped and fried it will be: chicken, fish, zucchini, cheese curds, cheese sticks, candy bars, Twinkies, cookies, onion rings and grilled cheese sandwich, my favorite. Please take me to the cardiologist's booth, for there sure should be one here at the Fair. Did someone say bacon bomb? On your gastronomical adventure you can eat your heart out and support your favorite charity all at the same time: 4-H, Basque Club, Boy Scouts, Kawanis, National Order of Trench Rats, Teen Challenge, Bakersfield and County Firefighters. Potatoes are big at the fair, sliced, diced, spiraled and fried. Bakers topped with your favorite, butter, sour cream, chili, chili verde or Alfredo or new for this year a mac n’ cheese toped spud.

Festival, Continued from page 1 Children's Activities- Kern Audubon Chapter will host activities for children, a great way to learn about birds and wildlife. Kids can do nature art, dissect owl pellets (yuck), learn bird identification and make bagel bird feeders. ■ 10:15 a.m.to noon -
Vocabulary, Continued from page 1 little vulture-speak for those wishing to be more vulture literate. ■ Carcass - The dead body of an animal upon which the vulture feeds. ■ Defecate - Turkey vultures defecate on their legs and feet to cool them off. This urine contains strong acids from the vulture’s digestive system that kills any bacteria that may remain on the bird’s legs from standing in its meal. Vulture poop actually works as a sanitizer; the uric acid is so strong (because of the nature of their diets) that it kills bacteria. ■ Kettle - An upward spiral formation of vultures riding the warm thermal air to gain altitude is called a “kettle” because it gives the appearance of a boiling pot of water. ■ Road kill - Flattened fauna resulting from contact with a motor
bowls or plated with sides. Don't forget the egg roll, it’s on a stick. Wood fired barbeque, tri-tip, ribs, chicken, turkey legs, smoked and/or slathered, oh my! Served to you as a dinner, in a basket or as hands on. Looking for some Southern Comfort? Try the kitchen by the same name where you'll find jambalaya, gumbo, po' boys, crawfish, blackened seafood, crab and Cajun fires, and gator bites on a stick of course. For the Italian in you, you can find sausage and pepper sandwiches, meatball sliders, sausage or meatball on a stick Did someone say pizza? You can get it on a stick of course, on French bread, by the slice, by the pie or folded as a calzone. Mexican food for tastes south of the border, burritos, enchiladas', nachos, asada, chicken and fish tacos, taco salads, ceviche, tostadas, tortas, quesadillas and churros. Have some corn on and off the cob, buttered and seasoned to your liking or popped, caramel corn, kettle corn and other flavored concoctions. New this year are fried avocado tacos, fried mac and cheese balls, Mariah’s ice cream donut sandwich, stawberry bacon sandwich and a funnel cake bacon cheesburger,
pies cobbler and turnovers from Williamette Valley Pie Co. and giant pretzels in assorted flavors and toppings from PHD & Me. And that bacon bomb? It is cheese wrapped in bacon and deep fried from Mac’s. Save some room for dessert. Funnel cakes topped high with you name it, an apple dumpling or pazookie and a side of forks for help in sharing. You'll need it! How about a rainbow of flavored shaved ice and 'real snow' snow cones? Colossal gelato, ice cream, scooped or soft served in 30 flavors or more, coned, waffled, as a sundae, milkshake, malt or a float me out of here. Be sure to get lots of napkins a spoon and a straw. Cotton candy, do you prefer pink or blue? Hot coffee, espresso, frozen mocha, beverages can be found both alcoholic and non, in a cup, bottled and canned, as smoothies, blended, hot and cold, of course the beer is advertised as ice cold. One can also try the old fashion soda chuck wagon this year where a sarsaparilla is served in a tin cup. Now that you're hungry for the Fair, I may see you there. Bon Appétit!

vehicle. The turkey vulture is known as one of nature’s street sweepers. ■ Regurgitate - A disturbed turkey vulture has been known to throw up on whoever is bothering it. ■ Solar wings/Horaltic pose - The stance is believed to serve multiple functions: drying the wings, warming the body to increase body temperature in preparation for flight after cool nights and baking off bacteria. ■ Thermal - Warm air updraft that the vulture rides to gain a gliding altitude. The turkey vulture has been recorded soaring as high as 10,000 feet. ■ Turkey vulture Cathartes aura -which means “cleansing breeze” in Latin, has a blackish 26- to 36-inch body and a 6-foot wing span with pale white under flight feathers. In spite of the vulture’s size, it may weigh only three pounds. The naked red head of the adult turkey vulture
resembles those of turkeys, hence their name. Juveniles have a large black head. ■ Turkey vulture watch - The turkey vulture watch or count, records one of two largest documented vulture movements north of Mexico. ■ Vultures - Carthartids - vary in size from 24 to 26 inches in body length. Their plumage is usually brownish-black with paler color on the under surface of long broad wings. The head and neck are usually bare and can be gray, black or red. ■ Vulture drop-in The evening arrival of the turkey vulture preparing to roost for the night. ■ Vulture lift-off Turkey vultures swarming around in the early morning hours preparing for the day's travel. ■ Wake/venue - Where ever a group of vultures have gathered to roost or feed.

RAC’n it up -
Fishing the Johnsondale 4 Mile Matt Freeman Courier Columnist Fall fishing can be some of the best fishing of the year. The days are cooling off but are still warm and the nights are not yet too cold to chill the Freeman water and shut the bite down. Many fish school up and feed extensively in the fall to pack on the pounds before the dead of winter reduces food sources. Locally that is the pattern for our resident trout, the Kern River Rainbow. There is an excellent stretch of the Kern River designed specifically for this type of fishing, it is single barbless hook only, no bait allowed and it is not stocked. Nothing but native Kern River Rainbows and brown trout: can't beat it! Better yet, it is a very accessible area that really comes into its own in the fall months because the water temps are just right and the fish just seem to come alive. Starting at the Johnsondale Bridge and going back approximately 4 miles, this restricted water is a walk-in fishery with its own trail. I like going in a couple of miles because the trail dips down the hill and comes very close to the Kern at that point, a great area for camping and fishing and just enjoying the scenery. The hike is not too bad either, trust me this fat guy would tell you if it was! It is pretty level and the trail is well defined and kept cleared. The best way to fish this area is as designed, with flies but single barbless

lures work well too. You will mostly catch native Rainbows but there are brown trout back in there and they are aggressive and have some size to them. So be on the lookout. With the size and take protections for that stretch of the river the Rainbow trout are getting big too I have seen some 4 to 5 lb. fish caught back in there. Please release those bad boys if you get one. Nothing wrong with catching a trout or two for dinner, the take limits allow two fish over 18 inches during the summer, but leave the big ones for the future. Do what I do, catch them with a HD camera and video and let them live to catch them again when they are bigger! The Kern River Rainbow is a highly sought after sub-species of the Rainbow trout and has been stocked all over the world. Back before the lake was here and the fishery was pressured a lot the Kern River was known for Rainbow trout over 20 lbs. that looked and acted just like Steelhead. This protected stretch of the Kern is designed to make sure some of those fish live again and can be enjoyed by all. So come up and enjoy it this fall bring the fly pole and the hiking boots. The water is warm enough to not need waders I like just wading in tennis shoes and shorts and sitting right in the river catching trout all day with nymphs and dry flies in the morning and evening. A great way to relax! Matt Freeman is a local resident, businessman and outdoorsman and can be reached at cooltuna12@yahoo.com or 760-223-0880.

Sequoia National Forest funds Needles Lookout and other projects ■ $1,970 Johnsondale Fuel Load Reduction (Tulare County RCD) ■ $30,000 Needles Lookout (HistoriCorps) ■ $5,000 Golden Trout Wilderness WDRD Trail System Maintenance Project (High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew) ■ $2,000 Jennie Lakes Backpack Crew (High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew) RAC requires Congressional approval and public involvement: A similar amount of FY 2015 RAC funds are expected in the spring of 2016 as the current funding legislation was for a two-year cycle. The long-term future of the RAC is uncertain beyond 2016. Each cycle of funding requires an act of Congress. Dollar for dollar, RAC projects represent an excellent investment of taxpayer money by developing partnerships, engaging volunteers, and implementing projects that benefit forest users and the environment. Anyone wishing to volunteer for these projects is encouraged to contact the partners directly. Project information can be viewed on the Kern and Tulare Counties RAC, Secure Rural Schools Resource Advisory Committee website at cloudappsusdagov.force.com /FSSRS/RAC_Page?id=001t0000002Jcv DAAS For more information, contact the RAC Designated Federal Official, Al Watson at 760-376-3781 ext. 610, or Penelope Shibley, RAC Coordinator at 760-376-3781 ext. 650.
Sequoia National Forest Courier Release The Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument has received $54,834 in funding for Title II RAC projects; RAC is short for Secure Rural Schools Resource Advisory Committee. These projects enhance forest ecosystems and restore and improve land health and water quality on the Sequoia National Forest and other nearby lands in Tulare and Kern counties. These competitive funds originate from the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. $15,629 will be allocated for projects in Kern County, and $39,205 will be used for projects in Tulare County. The Forest has decided to distribute these funds to existing projects that were underfunded in previous years in both counties. This will result in full funding as approved for five of the six projects. The largest single amount, $30,000, will go to the Needles Lookout Rebuild. This historic lookout was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 2011. This funding will provide the kick-start needed to eventually rebuild this structure, so visitors can once again appreciate the breath-taking views it offers. Distribution of project funding: ■ $9,087 for the Alta Sierra Escape Route Phase 1- (Kern County Fire Dept). ■ $6,777 awarded to Keepers of the Kern Wild and Scenic Kern River Clean up and Maintenance

Scholarship
Local
California Water awards scholarship to local student California Water Service announced today that a student from Lake Isabella is among the recipients for the company's fall 2015 college scholarship program cycle. Recipient Braeden Grimsby will be pursuing an advanced degree at the Colorado School of Mines. He graduated this summer from Kern Valley High School, where he was a stand-out athlete on the varsity football team. Grimsby was selected for the scholarship due to his commitment to community service and academic achievement. His family still lives locally. "Cal Water is committed to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve, whether that means providing high-quality, reliable water service or investing in our youth and helping them achieve their dreams of higher education and greater service to their community," said Local Manager Chris Whitley.

Couch Theater
It’s a clever coming of age flick Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” (PG-13) - Greg (Thomas Mann) is a high-school senior who's skilled at distancing himself from others. He's friendly but has almost no friends. His mom makes him spend time with a classmate, Rachel (Olivia Cooke), because she's been diagnosed with leukemia. While painfully awkward at first, the two hit it off. Greg introduces her to his only friend, Earl (RJ Cyler), who reveals that he and Greg produce intentionally horrible home movies out of mangled film titles -- like "A Sockwork Orange," made with sock puppets. It's a clever coming-of-age flick that explores the joys and pains of actually connecting with others. “When Marnie was Still There” (PG) - Anna (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) has never felt like she's inside "the magic circle" that includes most of humanity. Her foster mother sends her on a summer vacation to a small, coastal town in northern Japan, hoping it will do some good for Anna's asthma and outlook. Once there, Anna becomes drawn to a supposedly abandoned old mansion, where she meets Marnie (Kiernan Shipka), a mysterious and kind-hearted girl about her own age. What does it mean if your only friend is a ghost? Studio Ghibli -- the Japanese animation studio renowned for some of the most amazing and enchanting
Olivia Cooke,Thomas Mann in "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
hand-drawn movies ever -- is on its way out, and it appears this could be the last feature with the name. True to the legacy, this movie reels you in visually, and surprises you with perspective and emotion you wouldn't expect from a children's movie. “We Are Still Here” (R) - Not all ghosts are as friendly as the one in the above review. The Sachettis (Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig) find this out after they move from the city to a dreary town in rural Massachusetts. Right away, it's a perfect storm for a haunting: young married couple, new in town with emotional baggage, weird standoffish locals and an old house with a surprise gruesome backstory! Also, it's the late 1970s, so there are no cellphones and everything is 15 percent creepier. First-time director/writer Ted Geoghegan takes all of that familiar haunted-house stuff and does such a good job with it. The script and direction keep you guessing, and the casting gets the right balance of talents for screams, paranoia, and grim comedy. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Health Insurance Matters
PDP Annual Enrollment Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist Part 2: Last week I told you about the Prescription Drug Plans under Part D of Medicare and the penalties involved with not having Thal "creditable coverage." I reminded you that the prescription drug program you are currently on will mail out the "Annual Notice of Change" booklet as well as a plan formulary and other 2016 information by September 30. Be sure to look at it because the insurance company may have raised its monthly premium, increased the cost of drugs, shifted your medication to a higher (or lower) tier, or it may have new restrictions such as "Prior Authorization" or added "step therapy" before they will pay for the medication. Some plans may now have a new restriction on the quantity that can be filled. In the 2015 season, I saw one popular plan add a $320 deductible to what had been $0. The increased the monthly premium by almost $20 and eliminated their "preferred pharmacies". January and into February the phone rang like crazy with people yelling, actually yelling at me because they didn't read the annual notice of change. Now, of course those clients and local residents who had provided me with a list of their medications didn't have this problem. They just marched up to the counter at The Drug Store with their new insurance
card, and went merrily along their way. 2016 will have about 30+ plans to select from. No two plans are alike, and in some situations, there is no perfect plan. A few hints. On a national level, monthly premium prices will be going up only slightly. Many plans are going from a four tier pricing structure to five tiers. You may find that generic drugs are in all the pricing tiers. The lowest costing generic medications will be in tier 1. Tier two in some companies will be a more expensive generic and so on. Many of the higher tiers will no longer have a fixed dollar co-pay, but it will have a percentage (co-insurance). The government has increased the maximum allowable deductible to $350. Some plans will waive the deductible for generic tier one and two medications. I was just thinking of the do it yourself homeowner. When he breaks a pipe on a Sunday, needs to call in a professional plumber and now sits without water until Monday, it is inconvenient and expensive. As health insurance agents never charge a fee and are available throughout the Annual Enrollment Period October 15 to December 7, what is the advantage of the DIY? Come January, the problem can't be fixed, as you are locked in to your mistake for the next twelve months! 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.

Super Crossword
ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) A workplace change doesn't seem to have turned out quite as you'd hoped. Never mind: Just treat yourself to a healthy dollop of that Aries self-confidence, and you'll soon view things differently. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some of the support you might have hoped for in a difficult situation might not be there. But you have the strength to rely on your own capabilities if you must. Good luck. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A disagreement with a longtime friend can be painful, but it also can be a learning lesson. Insist on a full and complete airing of views. You'll both come away the better for it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A stalled relationship can be restarted with some give and take on both sides. And while it could take more time than you expect, don't rush it. Be patient, and let it happen naturally. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity to move a long-stalled project from concept to construction might be opening up for the Big Cat. Meanwhile, be prepared to spend more time dealing with family matters. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Use your Virgo organizational skills to line up support to help you deal with a sticky workplace problem. A personal matter also might be helped with friendly inter-
vention. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to resolve a workplace problem with a longtime associate can be difficult. Consider bringing in an impartial third party to help you both reach a mutually acceptable solution. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to assess your current career situation. Consider whether you have a chance to move up where you are now, or if you should look elsewhere. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With education being a dominant part of this week's aspect, one of the things you might want to think about is taking courses to enhance your career opportunities. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might have a problem trying to stay focused on a matter you'd rather not deal with. But the sooner you do, the sooner it will be resolved and out of the way. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unforeseen complication creates a difficult problem. But things get resolved once you use your ability to turn negative situations into positive experiences. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Pisces penchant for doing the right thing at the right time helps you deal with a particularly troublesome situation. Consider your best option, and act accordingly. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

No.: 2014-07234-CA, A.P.N.: 135251-06-00, Property Address: 721 Fairfax Road, Bakersfield, CA 93306 PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE § 2923.3(a), THE SUMMARY OF INFORMATION REFERRED TO ABOVE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE RECORDED COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT ONLY TO THE COPIES PROVIDED TO THE TRUSTOR. 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 12/08/2006. 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: Vern M. Moore and Kelly J. Moore, Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants. Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive Trustee, LLC. Recorded 12/18/2006 as Instrument No. 0206310749 in Book ---, Page --- of Official Records in the Office of the Recorder of Kern County California. Date of Sale: 10/08/2015 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: $236,115.49. 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: 721 Fairfax Road, Bakersfield, CA 93306, A.P.N.: 135-251-06-00. 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. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $236,115.49. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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)

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: August 26, 2015.

Antelope Valley Real Estate Services, As Trustee, Elite Trust Deed Services, Inc., As Agent, 554 West Lancaster Boulevard, Lancaster, CA 93534, 661-945-5525, Vickie Durham, Trustee Sale Officer 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 the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on the notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgages, 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 661945-5525 using the file number 15-0005. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet web site. The best way to verify the postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. (Published by the Kern River Courier September 18, 25 and October 2, 2015) NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE T.S.
