guests, musical performers, merchants, working staff and volunteers attended for a great time and that's how it happened. The crowd was alive and cheering with these fine entertainers. The effort and resources willingly and enthusiastically committed by this Kern Valley community and far beyond is reflected by the success of this celebration. The proceeds from this event go to trout food for raising and river stocking of trophy trout,
plus the Trout in the Classroom program. The funding goals were met and surpassed thereby, ensuring the enhancement of our Kern River fishing and mountain atmosphere for our tourism and our place of residence. The Friends of the Hatchery, Keepers of the Kern, Kernville Chamber of Commerce and the California Department of Fish And Wildlife owes the Kern Valley a debt of gratitude. You can contact the

Michael Batelaan Courier Community Over 50 people attended a meeting this week at the Wallace School cafeteria hosted by the Kern Valley Long Term Recovery Group. This particular meeting was focused on assisting those who were renters, and were displaced by the Erskine Fire. Moderated by Judy Hyatt, the meeting was intended to inform the community of all the available resources that are still available for people in the Kern River Valley. The Kern Valley Long Term Recovery Group will connect people with the corporations and agencies that are participating in the VOAD. VOAD stands for Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. It is important to note that it is not "Volunteer" but "Voluntary." This is because the meaning

and met. VOADs do not provide direct services, but provide a network through which individual organizations can more effectively address their mission and service goals during all phases of a disaster. VOAD members maintain their autonomy while working to reduce and eliminate duplication of services and other inefficiencies that occur during times of disaster. VOAD members believe that community leadership, public and private, should be utilized in planning, directing and implementing the disaster recovery. There were three Red Cross workers at the meeting to insure that anyone who is in need of any kind of assistance is registered through their registry. The purpose for the Red Cross registration is that the Kern Valley

Drought Emergency Food Assistance Program Community Action Partnership of Kern Food Bank (CAPK Food Bank) is continuing to distribute Drought Emergency Food Assistance Program food on top of its regular food distribution Saturday October 1 in Lake Isabella from 5 to 7 p.m. at 3628 Suhre Street.

Skate Park funding continues to roll in The skate park committee is very pleased to announce that the Mountain View Baptist Church has pledged $1,000 to the construction costs of the George and Darlene Randall Skate Park. This pledge takes them over $10,000. Donations and pledges are sincerely appreciated, as are in-kind donations of materials and services for the park. The committee is busy making plans for a skateboard competition to be held around Thanksgiving. More information will be provided in the KRV Courier as the time grows close. Some of the committee members will be attending a grant writing class in midNovember. The information learned at this class should be valuable in our efforts to obtain grants. The committee encourages everyone to follow skate park progress on Facebook (Kern Valley Skate Park). For more information on how to donate contact Karene Williams at 760-379-1434 or email her at karenewilliams1@verizon.net.

We ended my column last week admitting that my son-in-law was a better and luckier fisherman than I. What I didn't say was that most of Middleworth the fish he caught were puny, underfed and were probably snagged rather than hook swallowed. I get the last word on the fish business because it's my column. Somewhere in our trip we had to make a decision on how to travel up and past Sacramento. We could use the deep water channel that was there for the large ships to use instead of the meandering Sacramento River. (We took the meandering course). We stopped somewhere along our passage to have lunch and figure out how much farther we wanted to go up-river. We began to realize that with the lower river perhaps we could not make it to Red Bluff. But we agreed to go as far as we could. And it was a good decision because of the scenery including the cliffs on both sides of the river hosting hundreds and hundreds of swallows who lived in nests along the way. One day our excitement level was raised by the loud music of a passing pink Catamaran complete with a topless dancing girl. Wow we were stunned! Enough said. At our last river stop as we were tying up to the boat dock of a marina, we were told that dinner was served starting at five o'clock, and we could
rent a trailer with hot showers and two soft beds to ease our tired bones for only $20. So we did! At dinner that night we were shown the high water mark inside the restaurant which showed the height of the last river rise. That water mark was 20 feet above where the river is now. Next day we turned around and headed down river when suddenly the motor stopped. It was overheating and would run a few minutes at a time and then shut down. Fortunately we were heading down river and our main job was to steer our boat away from the sandbars and snag wood. Because we were returning early we needed to have our boat trailer brought up to where I-5 crosses over the Sacramento River. We stopped at Knights Landing to use a telephone alerting our helpers that we needed trailer rescue. But wouldn't you know the entire town's telephone service was out! The entire town! This was before cell phones so we eventually docked at the I-5 marina, where we could call for help. Hours later when help arrived we loaded the boat on the trailer and spent the night with friends and the next day headed home. On the way we decided that we still had several days left of vacation time and so we headed for Morro Bay and rented a fisherman cottage. We caught lots of red snapper, BBQing and eating them on the pier. The whole trip was a great experience, one not forgotten especially the pink Catamaran!

Message of faith
The Solid Rock Ben Richey, Courier Columnist In every election season promises are made that lead to hopes, hopes lead to votes, elation comes when our candidate wins, and then 4-8 years of disappoint- Richey ment follow as those hopes and promises wither under the weight of Washington. Politicians, regardless of their intentions to shake the world for good and soar on the wings of noble ideas, eventually realize that change these days involves physically dragging 535 donkeys kicking and screaming from one place to another. Nine years ago, when President Obama first ran for office on "hope and change," a lot of people were happy to pin their hopes on a politician. And just like Bush before him, every move he's made for 8 years has been like trudging through waistdeep tar. During this election cycle I have heard a great deal about hope for our nation, for the future, and for our security in scary times. And as usual, a lot of good people are caught up in the idea that hope in politicians is well founded. The older I get, the more caution I take when I start hanging my hopes. Recently I've been thinking a lot about the hymn, "The Solid Rock." It says "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. On
Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand." The author, Edward Mote, was reflecting on Jesus' teaching from Matthew 7:24-27 about making the Word of God our foundation. Isaiah 40:8 says "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." The Word doesn't change. It doesn't shift like sand. It doesn't move. Hebrews 13:8 also reminds us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." The written Word of God are firm anchors in troubled times. As I look around at my fellow Christians, I can't help but ask, "What is the foundation of our hope in 2016?" Psalm 20:7 says "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." Some trust in politics, politicians, and the promises and intentions of fallible people. But is that a good foundation for hope? I would never encourage anyone to abdicate their civic responsibility to be involved in the political process, but if we put all our eggs in that basket, we're going to be disappointed. Maybe our candidate loses. Or our candidate wins, but can't accomplish what they promised. If we have misplaced hopes, we are going to be devastated. But when we trust in Christ the Solid Rock, whether our political party wins or loses, we can have confidence that God is still good, still in control, and that we have a reason to hope no matter what comes. Ben Richey is the lead pastor of Kernville First Baptist Church.

Health Insurance Matters
Medicare and a movie Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist Only a very small percentage of Americans on HMO plans ever change once enrolled. I find this ludicrous. I research the plans annThal ually, and you enter the plan with one set of benefits, and annually, the costs go up within your plan, not realizing that another company may have a better set of benefits using the same doctors. Medication costs are going through the roof. Lifesaving EpiPens, once about $100 for a set of two is now $600. For 2017, I am suspecting that many brand name drugs you are now taking will be placed on a higher tier on your current plan in 2017. And, to rein in the insurance company's costs, several medications that have had a fixed dollar copay will be requiring you to pay a percentage in 2017. Those people just approaching Medicare age or nearing the 24 month wait for Medicare due to disability wonder which plan to pick. I have used the analogy before, but if you go to the Ford dealer looking for a car, you are likely to drive away in a Ford. What if a Chevrolet or Honda would have been a better fit? This is the dilemma we face here in the Valley. Company representatives come here from Los Angeles or Bakersfield. The present their one single line of products, are not permitted by law to discuss the competition, and leave. Off to another town to do the same.
These company employees have to take hours of classes to get certified with the company. Classroom time takes them away from "selling." I am certified by every plan selling here in the Kern River Valley. I literally hole up in a hotel room with my computer and their high speed Internet connection, taking over 40 hours of instruction to be able to offer comparisons between all the local plans that use insurance agents. So with all this information, I go to the movies! For years I dreamed of a theater marquee advertising my seminar. Last year, I did this silly thing. It seems that many people who are on Medicare or soon will be turning 65 want to know more about the federal program and the choices they have. Stay with employer plan, take COBRA, join an HMO, buy a supplement, use Medi-Cal, do nothing. What are the penalties for doing nothing, as I am in great health (now)! Everything will be answered in the Medicare and a Movie program to be held on Wednesday, October 5 at 12:30 at the Reel Cinema in Wofford Heights. Following the seminar there is a movie. Scheduled is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. This Tim Burton fantasy/adventure (rated PG13) will be shown following the seminar; and of course, popcorn and a drink will be served as a snack for all attending. Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106), on the National Association of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board.

Children with special needs, physical or intellectual, will get the opportunity to climb among the wild animals at Bakersfield's California Living Museum, Courageous Kids Climbing announced. Event coordinator Jeff Riechmann said, "An agreement has been reached between Courageous Kids Climbing and the CALM to conduct one of our climbing events for children with special needs using CALM's 35-foot tall outdoor climbing tower on Saturday, October 8, from 10 a.m. until noon." CALM was founded in 1980 and opened to the public in 1983. CALM displays and interprets native California animals, plants, fossils, and artifacts to teach a respect for all living things through education, recreation, conservation, and research. Courageous Kids Climbing offers free opportunities for children with special needs, physical or intellectual, to experience the various forms of rock climbing, conducting events throughout Idaho, eastern Washington and southern California. The organization also supports the University of Idaho's Center for Disabilities and Human Development by providing opportunities for student interns to conduct research on how climbing enhances the lives of children with special needs as well as supporting the University's scholarship program. Riechmann, the organizer of Courageous Kids Climbing is a retired Kern County fire-
fighter. Rock climbing can be an excellent opportunity for children with special needs for a variety of reasons. It has been shown that climbing can increase spatial perception, hand-eye coordination and balance. It also teaches children about advance planning, problem-solving and goal-setting skills that are useful not only in school, but in life. Children with physical challenges will be able to experience wall climbing utilizing one of the special harnesses that Courageous Kids Climbing possess. These children will be raised along the wall with the help of Kern County firefighters who will also provide personal tours of their fire truck. The firefighters will be joined by paramedics from Hall Ambulance Service and members of the Bakersfield Police Department. Also supporting the event will be Kevin Wehr of Palmdale, dirt bike racer and cancer survivor. He will have one of his racing motorcycles on display for the kids. The event is free for any child with special needs. Reservations are required. On Tuesday, October 4th, the Kern County Board of Supervisors will be proclaiming Saturday, October 8th as Courageous Climber Day in Kern County. For more information on the event or to sign up a child for the event, contact Riechmann at jeffriechmann@c .com. Additional information is also available in Facebook: Courageous Kids Climbing.

One-liners flow like ectoplasm Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Ghostbusters” (PG-13) - The one-liners flow like ectoplasm in this reboot of the supernatural comedy that spawned so many cherished childhood memories. The cast is allfemale, but this franchise resurrection otherwise sticks to the hits: There are four busters, all played by improv-seasoned comedians, most of whom have a "Saturday Night Live" pedigree. Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig play paranormal investigators who form the core of the group; Kate McKinnon (who wins every sketch she's in on SNL) is the virile, gadgetgal, and Leslie Jones is an MTA worker who provides a much-needed nonscientific talent to the crew. Director Paul Feig has been hacking away at the female-driven nonromantic comedy with mixed results. Despite the internet furor, thinly veiled misogyny and disappointing domestic box-office returns, this movie lands on the good side of the reboot spectrum. It doesn't conjure a spirit as strong as the original, but it sure goes in with proton packs fully charged. "The Legend of Tarzan" (PG13) -- Years after leaving the jungle and setting up in a British mansion as Lord Greystroke, the man once called Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) has to go back to Africa to rally the animal kingdom and thwart colonization. Greystroke/Tarzan hears from an American diplomat (Samuel L. Jackson) about a Belgian plot to enslave the people of the Congo. A
Scene from "Ghostbusters"
sneering envoy (Christoph Waltz) is in charge of the scheme, and Jane (Margot Robbie) joins her husband on the adventure, because she's no slouch. It takes a while to get into full swing. Skarsgard's performance never quite hits its stride, and so he's just an abnormally pale hunk for much of the run time. The movie is aware that there's racism in the roots of the source material, and takes some strides to counter that. Still, it's another Tarzan movie that we won't remember when the next one comes out in a decade or so. “The Infiltrator” (R) - During the height of the Pablo Escobar era in the War on Drugs, federal agent Bob Mazur (Bryan Cranston) must go undercover as a big shot Miami money-launderer, knowing that the slightest slip-up will make him another victim of cartel brutality. He's got a livewire partner (John Leguizamo) and a fake wife who also is an agent (Diane Kruger). While there are plenty of notes from other drug-war films, this one dodges most of the cliches and steers clear of wanton Hollywood violence. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fall catfish hunting Matt Freeman Courier Columnist Lake Isabella is known for several things, and one of them is big catfish. We have both Channel Catfish and White Catfish in the Freeman lake, and the big Channel Cats can get over 50 lbs. We have had several really big ones already caught this year and just the other day several 2030lb fish have been taken. Fall is a great time to fish for the cats. Channel Cats especially like a bit of current and some shade and that is what they will seek out. Fall offers both, with the water still relatively warm but the days getting shorter it causes the catfish to start actively moving again. Another reason the cat fishing is good in the fall is the fact that the fish seem to know winter is approaching and they are fattening up before the slowdown of their metabolism and having to go deep in the cold water when the lake turns over. So they gorge themselves on schools of bait fish and anything else they can find and it is a great time of year to forage because the Threadfin Shad are in tight schools in the fall as they are also changing their patterns in preparation for winter. The simplest and often the most fun way to get cats is to fish at dusk and into darkness. Find yourself an area that has both shallow and deep water and fish the edge. Catfish like
structure as well just like bass and crappie and if you can find a spot with all three of these factors from shore, you are in business. Build your campfire, with a permit of course, put out your lamps and those catfish rods and enjoy a great BBQ as you watch the sun go down and the stars come out. Fish with live shiners, crawdads, cut shad or clams, or you can't go wrong with some of the dough baits either. I use two hooks on my catfish rig, one with dough and one with cut shad or meal worms. For live baits stick to one hook and use an egg sinker and leader so the shiner can swim. Fish different depths, remember as dusk turns into darkness these fish start moving around, you will be surprised how close to shore they get at night time. Another great way to get them in the fall is from a boat. Look for the same conditions mentioned but also try and find bait balls, you can see the Shad bunched up on the sonar. Fish beneath these schools at the edge of deep and shallow water and you will get bit. Drifting through an area works as well, use egg sinkers and a long leader and cut baits, the drift great and twist in the water imparting action as the sinker bounces on the bottom. I have caught lots of catfish over the years on the drift; it's a lot of fun. Go out there and get some, and send me some pictures!

CDFW now hiring law enforcement cadets Lt. Chris Stoots, CDFW Courier Outdoors Do you have what it takes to be a California wildlife officer? The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is currently accepting applications for Fish and Game warden cadet (wildlife officer), with a final filing deadline of Oct. 17. CDFW is particularly interested in recruiting applicants with a love of the outdoors, a passion for conservation and knowledge of fishing and hunting activities. For information on minimum qualifications and other requirements to become a wildlife officer cadet, please visit www.jobs.ca.gov/public/bulletin .aspx?examcd=6fg13. The CDFW Law Enforcement Division typically receives more than 600 cadet applications per hiring cycle. All prospective candidates are encouraged to extensively review materials on the department's website, wildlife.ca.gov/ enforcement/career, before contacting CDFW with questions. CDFW wildlife officers are fully sworn California peace officers with a fundamental duty to serve and protect the public. They have the authority to enforce all California laws, including the Vehicle Code, Penal Code, Health and Safety drug laws and more. The primary mission of a wildlife officer is to enforce hunting and fishing laws; to protect California waterways and habitat from destruction, pollution, and litter; provide the public with hunting and fishing information; and to promote and coordinate hunter education and safe weapons handling. Wildlife officers investigate illegal
sales of wildlife, fight against illegal drug trafficking and respond to natural disasters. They are also federally deputized to enforce federal fish and wildlife laws. Wildlife officers patrol the mountains, valleys, deserts, creeks, streams, rivers and ocean. They frequently work alone and cover both rural and urban areas. California's diverse ecosystem spans 159,000 square miles divided into 58 counties, with a human population in excess of 39 million. The state has 1,100 miles of coastline, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, 4,800 lakes and reservoirs and 80 major rivers. Wildlife officers patrol utilizing trucks, ATVs, personal watercraft, boats, snowmobiles and airplanes, making contact with Californians in the great outdoors. Wildlife officers work undercover, conduct surveillances and complete full-scale investigations, including writing and serving search warrants. CDFW has special operations teams focused on wildlife and drug trafficking, a dive team and a K9 program. Annually, wildlife officers make contact with more than 295,000 people and issue more than 15,000 citations for violations of the law. Successful applicants will attend a Peace Officer Standards of Training, or POST, certified law enforcement training academy, conducted by CDFW at Butte College, near Chico in northern California. Following the academy, cadets will work with a seasoned field training officer for several more weeks, learning to apply their training in practical circumstances. The job posting and state application are both available online.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone from your past could arrive with welcome news concerning your future. Meanwhile, avoid taking sides in a workplace confrontation until you have more facts to go on. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A decision about a relationship could have longer-lasting consequences than you might imagine, so be sure of your facts before you act. A trusted friend can help. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A strained relationship could be restored with more personal contact between the two of you. Letting others act as your go-between only adds to the ongoing estrangement. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) New facts could mean taking a new path toward a goal you've been hoping to reach. However, be sure all your questions are answered before you undertake to shift directions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good week for all you fine Felines to turn your attention to some important considerations, such as your health, your job situation and the status of important relationships. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid making a quick decision about a matter that needs more study. Keep your mind open for possibilities,
even if they don't seem plausible -- at least not yet. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might welcome the emphasis on openness in relationships that mark this period. But it's a good idea to avoid sharing personal secrets with people you hardly know. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some questions that need to be asked and answered before you can feel confident enough to make a potentially life-changing decision. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some lingering effects from a now largely resolved workplace confrontation could make things difficult for you. Act on this before it becomes serious. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You feel you're finally in control of your own life after months of making compromises and concessions you never felt comfortable with. Congratulations. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) No sooner do you decide to pass on one job offer than another suddenly turns up. This one might not have everything you're looking for, but it's worth checking out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. With Jupiter's strong influence dominating this week, don't be surprised to get some good news about a troubling financial matter.

Elite Trust Deed Services, Inc., as Trustee, 554 West Lancaster Boulevard, Lancaster, CA 93534, 661945-5525, 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 661-945-5525 using the file number 16-0023. 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 infor-
mation is to attend the scheduled sale. (Published by the Kern River Courier September 16, 23 and 30, 2016) NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF ARLENE V. KOVALOVSKY BPB-16-002808 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ARLENE V.

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 $92,624.96. 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) 960-8299 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource.com/Mortgage Services/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 2016-01362CA. 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.

Long Term Recovery Group will be using that program to track and assist Kern Valley residents. The Group couldn't stress enough how important it is to register with the Red Cross. Meeting participants were supplied with questionnaires in order to enable the Recovery Group to focus on the actual needs of fire survivors. Then some various agencies and organizations participating in the fire recovery were introduced. The USDA has many disaster assistance programs available. Those registered with the Red Cross will be able to get a Letter of Priority Entitlement for USDA managed properties, which will move them to the top of any waiting list. There are only two such properties in the Kern Valley. There are also numerous loan and repair programs available through the USDA including rural water well and waste water grants and assistance for rural businesses guaranteeing their business loans with eligible lenders. Justin Powers from the All For One Movement explained that the distribution center that had been in Southlake near Sierra Gateway is now closed, but the Salvation Army has opened a distribution center in Lake Isabella at Kern Valley

They can be reached at 760-205-9009 or viewed at allforonemovement.org. The Movement can also be contacted in order to register with the Red Cross.

Richard Rowe explained the Erskine Fire Fund. About $200,000 has been collected so far. The Fund is comprised of the Kern Valley Rotary, the Kern Valley Exchange club, Kern River Valley Revitalization and the Family Resource Center. They are still trying to grow the fund, so the largest number of people can be helped over the long term. The Rotary will go to individuals Rotary groups across the country to request donations and the Exchange will do likewise with other Exchange groups. No funds have been distributed yet. There was a referral form for this fund distributed at
the meeting or it is available at the Family Resource Center on Lake Isabella Blvd. in Lake Isabella. Rowe reminded the meeting that Red Cross registration is vital to be considered for money being distributed. Lisa Smith from the first announced that $25,000 will be distributed in the near future to assist people with basic needs. Debbie Hess representing the Kern Valley Hospital Foundation Fire fund explained the process of receiving funds from their group. Those funds are being held at Alta One. There was opportunity for questions and answers and glitches in the assistance programs were addressed. The group was notified that the Board of Supervisors has approved the agreement with CalOES for the Mobile Home Units that are available for eligible homeowners displaced by the Erskine Fire and announced that Supervisor Mick Gleason will host a community meeting on October 5 at 6 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at 6400 Park Avenue (corner of McCray) in Mtn. Mesa. All disasters begin locally and end locally. "Once government goes away, it's us," Hyatt said. The Kern Valley Long Term Recovery Group plans to be around for the next five years.
