Camp Owen to get new mess building Mike Devich Kern River Courier
Camp Erwin Owen in Kernville, a county-run detention facility for boys, has needed a new mess hall for a long time. On Wednesday, ground was finally broken for a new building. The need was identified all the way back in 1984, but since at the time the county did not own the land the camp occupied, the new building had to wait until a land swap between the county and the U.S. Forest Service was completed. It only took 35 years, but the land swap finally happened in

December 2009. Chief Probation Office David M. Kuge said that Camp Owen started in 1936 with “40 boys in tents,” and that the mess hall was added in 1949. It was used for many years, but in 1984 the Kern County Grand Jury evaluated the camp and said in its report that it recommended a new mess hall. Members of that Grand Jury were present at the groundbreaking ceremony, adding to the crowd of about 70. Also present were 1st District Supervisor Jon McQuiston, Romeo Agbalog representing

An 8,000-gallon water storage tank at the Kernville Fish Hatchery has taken on a new life, that of the life cycle of the Kern River Rainbow Trout. You see the huge 24-foottall water tank as you enter the hatchery grounds, but it’s plain no more. Now an artist’s mural of a big Blue Heron and fish swimming circles decorate what once was just an ordinary water tank. The mural was painted
by artist Kale Hailey, who is a master of fine arts grad student from Fresno State University. Hailey has been painting since he was about 14 years old. Hailey has about nine days of work invested in the mural, which depicts California’s Heritage Trout Program. Pictured is an underwater river bottom view of a trout's life cycle, from spawning and egg laying to alevin (baby), fry and adult stages. Also illustrated are the bugs and larvae a trout

Critter season begins in the Kern River Valley Mike Devich Kern River Courier
Along with warmer weather comes the explosion of wildlife in the valley. Mosquitoes have been a big problem. If anyone has any standing water left on their property, get rid of it now to reduce the effects of West Nile Disease later. One major lover of warmer weather is the snake.

One of the southernmost Giant Sequoia groves, Long Meadow Grove (also known by some as Redwood Meadow Grove), offers a half-mile interpretive walking trail, the Trail of 100 Giants, through majestic mature sequoias. It’s accessible by car now, about 1-1/2 hours north of Kernville, but not in winter when the road is closed due to snow. The Forest Service and volunteers have created an easy walk over a paved surface, accessible by the wheelchair-bound. How to Get There: Coming north out of the Kern River Valley, take Mountain 99 (County Route SM99 -- also known in the Kernville area as Sierra Way) up the Upper Kern River about 20 miles to County Route SM50 near Johnsondale (no services available there). About 5.5 miles west of Johnsondale is the junction with Western Divide Highway near Parker Pass. Take Western Divide Highway about 2.0 miles. Directly across the road is Redwood Meadow Campground, where you’ll pay a $5 fee to park. The trail itself is free.

Health Insurance Matters
To Your Good Health
Life insurance worth it for kids
Bed-wetting is traumatic
Harry P. Thal Kern River Courier Columnist
I keep seeing them; teenagers and family members dancing around with signs on street corners seeking business for a car wash to raise funds for final expenses for a young person who has died. This week I Harry Thal was assisting Gloria and her 16-year-old daughter complete an application for health insurance. I flipped the page before the medical questions, and there was an opportunity to add dental insurance and life insurance to the application. I have never "pushed" life insurance on individual policies for adults, as the face amount isn't large enough to cover all the responsibilities a parent or even a spouse must cover. Everyone who cares for their family and loved ones needs life insurance. But for children, the addition of life insurance is a no brainer. For the daughter, by adding only $3 on to the monthly premium, her single mother would have $30,000 to help with last expenses. Life insurance policies are available to be added onto many individual health insurance plans, and also often can be added on to group plans.

Policies can be bought on a standalone basis as well, and the cost of term insurance is so low, that most everyone can afford a small policy. I bought my first $25,000 policy while in college. $14.80 a month for a whole life plan. I am still paying the $14.80, 45 years later. The policy has grown in value. I borrowed against it to help finance my daughter’s wedding. The beneficiaries have changed over the years from my parents and brothers to my wife and daughter. I have added additional coverage as my responsibilities have increased, but the value of that first policy is still there protecting my loved ones. I know I will die some day. Hopefully not for a long while, but I know there will be bills to pay, mortgages to maintain and responsibilities and commitments to fulfill. Next time you see a fundraising car wash, consider the people who are dancing on the corner. For $3 a month they could be grieving their loss, not washing cars. Harry P.

You Don’t Know what you might find at the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store
Paul G. Donohue, M.D. Courier Syndicated Columnist
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Our grandson soon will be 15. He still wets the bed. His parents have done everything from pills to alarms, but nothing helps. Sometimes he gets depressed, and that scares us. He says he will never be able to have a relationship with a girl. Sometimes we worry that he will hurt himself. Is there anything that can help this situation? -W.M. ANSWER: I feel deeply for your grandson. No one can understand the isolation and hopelessness he has to grapple with. He could stand professional counseling. Perhaps a few facts will help him. Between the ages of 5 and 6, 15 percent to 20 percent of children are still wetting the bed. Of that number, every following year, 15 percent will stay dry during the night. By age 18, only 1 percent to 2 percent of these youngsters are still battling the problem. Your grandson has three years in which his chances of gaining control are good. The problem of bed-wetting appears to stem from a brain that doesn't respond to a full nighttime bladder by rousing the sleeper. It might be a delay in developing that response. Or it might be a delay in the attainment of a large enough bladder capacity to hold nighttime urine production. Or it might be that these children produce too little of the hormone vasopressin,

which suppresses nightly urine formation. Your grandson can once more try things he probably has already tried. He should measure carefully how much fluid he drinks in one day. Once he learns that number, he should drink 40 percent of the total in the morning, another 40 percent in the afternoon and limit fluid to 20 percent of the daily total from 5 p.m. on. He can increase his bladder's capacity by holding off on urinating during the day. If he delays each time by five or 10 minutes for one week and then gradually lengthens the delay in following weeks, the bladder will stretch. This takes time. He has to be patient. Alarms can work. They sound or vibrate when the first few drops of moisture touch them. It can be as long as six months of use before the training takes hold. For occasions when he is invited to stay at other people's homes for the night, desmopressin, as a pill or nasal spray, slows nighttime urine production.

Local writer releases book Kern River Courier
Long time Kern Valley resident Emily Rose Cardé has written and published her first romantic suspense novella, “ICU,” at the age of 17 to help fund her education at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, VA. The project began as a short story and morphed into an exciting fundraising a d v e n t u re for Emily and her family, who sought out sponsors to promote and finance the project. "It is i m p o r t a n t Emily Rose Cardé for me to give back to God some of which He has given me," said Cardé, who graduated from Bakersfield Christian High School last month. What does “ICU” stand for? "That's what everyone wants to know," says Cardé's mom Mischelle Sandowich. The answer? "Read the book!" This synopsis is provided on the back cover: "A series of tragic events push college graduate Lauren Miller to escape the memories of her past and flee to Los Angeles. Settling into her new life comes easily, almost too easily, until she begins receiving threatening packages. Will her new boss help protect her, or will his mysterious connection to her tragic past destroy their friendship?" Although Cardé has never read the Twilight series, Randy Martin, pastor
of Covenant Presbyterian Church and Bible Department head at BCHS, sees a similarity. "It has all the romantic appeal of the Twilight series, without the vampires," he said, "and from a Christian worldview." “ICU” is not Cardé's first publishing experience. While the youngest active member of the Kern Valley Poets and Writers Club, Cardé published short stories, poetry, and lyrics in their yearly publication, “Refections of the Kern.” Her work appears in the 2009 and 2010 editions. She has also had numerous pieces published in creative journals at BCHS and earned a coveted award of excellence from the English Department. Cardé plans to earn a B.A. in literature, go on to earn a M.F.A. in creative writing, and one day earn a doctorate degree. One of her career goals is to become an accomplished novelist. ICU is available in paperback (8.5" x 5.5") and retails for $12.50. It can be purchased online at w w w. i c u b o o k . w o rd p re s s . c o m . Sponsorships (purchasing five or more copies at $10 each) are also available. In addition, there are plans to make the book available at local retailers in the Valley. For more information call Sandowich at (661) 4729269 or email icu_book@yahoo.com. Correspondence and orders can be mailed to: Emily Cardé, 4450 California Ave. #225, Bakersfield, CA 93309. Please add $3.50 per book to cover tax and shipping. Cardé will be available at the Lakeshore Farmer's Market located at 7466 Wofford Blvd. Wofford Hts. on Saturday, June 25th from 9am to 1pm to sell and autograph books.

Faith comes by hearing Jack Duitsman, pastor Father’s Heart Foursquare Church, Kernville
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. - 2 Timothy 3:16 If you have a ten- Duitsman dency to succumb to guilt where time spent in the Scripture is concerned, do yourself a favor and stop reading these words . . . seriously, stop reading right now! Boiling the eternal Word of God down to shame and self reproach with thoughts of "I really should read my Bible more," marginalizes the power of God to the point where the Father's purposes in revealing Himself is almost entirely lost. I say "almost" because there is Divine power in the Word that can break through even the most ardent defenses (yes, guilt is a defense against the power of the Word to transform us). If then you are still reading along, I trust that your heart, like my own, longs for a better grasp on the power of God to change who we are, and what we experience, into what He has lovingly purposed for us. Embracing the heart of God through the pages of Scripture is the primary place where hearing the Word of the Lord is concerned. For all the hoopla in the Spirit filled Christian community regarding the prophetic and receiving "rhema" words from the Lord ("faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word (rhema) of God") the inability or unwillingness to be firmly grounded in the written Word ("Logos") is problematic at best, and dangerous at worst. Of a certainty, even the most committed student of the Word will over a lifetime remain

a mere novice in terms of fully understanding the Scriptures, for you and I are finite beings trying to embrace the infinite God's revelation of Himself. This being the case, two issues become important: 1) We do not allow this reality to turn our eyes and hearts from the Word. Novice as we shall ever be, the Lord speaks to us all through His Word, and His heart is communicated in ways that guide and encourage us through all of life's circumstance. 2) Though we will never completely understand all that is to be known, we are always candidates for the voice of the Holy Spirit to speak in miraculous ways. Notice in the above passage the inclusion of "All Scripture," and then compare your own experience with the Scriptures. This is where guilt will attempt to short circuit what the Father desires to work in us where His Word is concerned. The old "I've tried a hundred times to read certain books of the Bible and I just don't get it," kicks into gear and once again the heart of God communicated through His Word is lost. Could it be that the reason we have such a difficult time hearing God in the midst of our circumstance is because we shut out a certain amount of His capacity to talk to us by shying away from things hard to understand? By silencing the Habakkuk part of God's heart, or ignoring the revelation of His love that comes through the book of Revelation might we be making our own experience more difficult if that is what we are intended to learn and experience through what we are walking through? A desire to hear God speak must always begin with a fervent desire to hear from His Word, and be intensely transformed by what He has to say. The Lord speaks, and as He does our lives are changed, and our circumstance becomes useful in the Lord's ongoing purpose of making us into His image.

This picture is of the eastern portion of the Pacific Basin. This basin is the largest of the three defined basins that we will be discussing, in some detail. Notice the distribution of the many islands, archipelagos, and island Ron Bolyard chains with respect to the position of the continents, in this case North and South America. I point this important observation out because their locations, with respect to the continents, is the key to understanding the complex processes involved in the Global Plate
Tectonic forces that formed them. I ask that your retain this picture and the others to follow, for referencing our discussion. A World Atlas may also be very helpful. UNTIL NEXT WEEK … Ron Bolyard is a retired geologist and has developed an “acute interest” in the geology of the southern Sierra Nevada since he moved here in 1999.
Michael Batelaan Kern River Courier Publisher
There had better be no complaints about the size and length of year’s fireworks extravaganza over Isabella Lake. There's nobody to blame but us. The event sponsor, the Kern River Valley Chamber of Batelaan Commerce, is looking to light a fire under people for donations needed for the Saturday, July 2 show. The fireworks display, which is funded entirely by donations, finds itself roughly $5,000 short of the $14,000 fuse needed to reach the show's ignition point, according to chamber office manager Jennie Cox. The phrases "the sky's the limit" and "more bang for the buck" truly apply when it comes to the size and length of the annual show, which is directly related to the amount of donations received from individuals and businesses by the chamber. This year, the fireworks are still being scheduled to rocket over the lake from Engineers Point on Saturday, July 2, at approximately 9 p.m. But the size and shape of this year's

(and next year's) display, as always, will decided upon by funds collected over the next two weeks. Big red firecracker canisters have been placed at business locations around the valley. Also, a raffle ticket drive for a two-night, three-day stay at South Point Las Vegas has been launched by the chamber in order to collect cash contributions. For those willing to shell out for this explosive event, individual shells can be sponsored by size as well, proving that when it comes to fireworks, size does matter. The more bucks the bigger the BANG! Shells can be sponsored from $10 for a 2 inch shell, to a dam-buster (not literally, of course) 10-inch bombshell for $500. All funds go directly to the fireworks purchase. Fireworks donations can be made at the Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce office at 6404 Lake Isabella Blvd., Lake Isabella across from the Senior Center, by mail to KRVCC, P.O. Box 567, Lake Isabella, CA 93240-0567 or online using PayPal or credit card at www.fireworks.kernrivervalley. com

Talking About Real Estate
Property rights still in question
100% financing still exists
Mike Ludiker Kern River Courier
Recommendations by the County Planning Department on the question of a Kern County property owner's right to rent his or her home on a short-term basis (less than 30 days) was brought before the Board of Supervisors this past Tuesday. Mike Ludiker After hearing comments from both sides of the issue, county supervisors delayed the decision by referring the issue back to staff for further study of options, alternatives and specific direction. The ultimate decision on R-1 and R-2 zoning ordinance rights and restrictions will affect property owners throughout the entire Kern County area. However, Tuesday's session specifically targeted the community of Alta Sierra. The quiet neighborhood has become divided on the interpretation of property rights within residential areas. Short-term rentals from weekend and second home owners have existed for years. In the Kern Valley, they've provided relief from a severe shortage of lodging facilities for visitors. The need for adequate accommodations directly influences our fragile economy, based almost
exclusively on tourism. Two supervisors agreed that the matter is more of a behavioral issue than a property issue. Unfortunately, some vacationers will ignore "agreed to" written rental terms and rules put in place by the homeowner to protect their property and minimize any potential friction. The "leave it better than you found it" and common courtesy lessons are seldom practiced by new generations, resulting in more and more restrictions. The inability of county government to fulfill its obligation to address, investigate and enforce any current regulations is a major contributor to the overall problem. Lack of county resources to provide local Alta Sierra law enforcement, fire response crews and weekend code enforcement personnel is no excuse not to perform that responsibility. Supervisor Watson commented, "County government is not an 8 to 5, Monday to Friday business, it is 24/7, and we must find a way to do that (responsibly).� Friction within the community is high and concerns about the ripple affect that additional regulations will have on all county property owners is feared. It's hoped that, somehow, all the parties can come together and rationally resolve the issues. If not, intervention by county government will be necessary and their options and decision will not be popular with anyone. Mike Ludiker can be reached at office@kernrivercourier.com
Matt Freeman Kern River Courier Columnist
So much has happened with this real estate market the last few years, some good things, but mostly bad things especially for sellers and potential buyers looking for loans. However, I want to talk a bit about a program that is still available that is a very good fit for a lot of homeMatt Freeman buyers in the Kern River Valley. There are basically only two ways to get what is called 100% financing, which means a mortgage without putting a downpayment. The first is a VA loan. Those are great loans but they are only for current or former members of the military and their dependents. However, there is hope! Guess what? For first time homebuyers there is a great program available that is also 100% financing AND it lets the seller help the buyer with their closing costs on top of that. The program is called a Rural Housing Loan, or a USDA loan. What? The people who certify our meat give loans? Yeah, I know it is weird, but it is true. Actually, as with every government organization, the USDA is
huge; they do all kinds of things. The Forest Service is adminstered by the USDA, for example. The USDA gives loans on single family housing and on farms in rural areas (not in cities). There are certain credit and income restrictions, but overall, it is pretty easy to qualify for a rural housing loan. They will not lend on manufactured homes, and the home has to be in average or better condition and in a rural area (which of course we are), so USDA loans are a great loan product for local buyers these days to take advantage of. Better yet, not only do they require no downpayment, but the seller is allowed to contribute up to 6% of the purchase price out of their profits towards the buyers closing costs which, depending on the price of the home, usually pays all of the closing costs for the buyer besides the appraisal. This is truly a great buyer's market, so if you are a potential buyer but don't have a military record or any money down, think about a USDA loan. I have done a bunch of them and they are a great way to get into a house. Matt Freeman is a Realtor with Freeman’s Lakeside Realty (760) 379-5915 or cell 223-0880.

Kern River Courier
Valley history: Hot Springs House The now-abandoned hot springs property in the middle of the town of Lake Isabella was at one time a very popular place. When settlers came into the valley behind the gold miners in the mid-1800s, the hot springs beckoned to them with their soothing waters. in 1866 this prompted Harry Chapman to build a hotel at the springs. Named the Hot Springs House, it offered mineral baths to visitors who suffered from rheumatism or weary muscles. It was a favorite gathering place for miners and other local residents, and quickly became the major stage stop between Caliente and the Kern River Valley. Over the next 25 years it was owned by a succession of people. Its major popularity was in the mid-1890s when hydropower came to the Kern River Valley. It was the main headquarters for the Borel workers. The stage also regularly brought guests to relax in the mineral baths. John Neill bought the Hot Springs House in 1902 and made many additions to the property, which soon became known as Neill's Hot Spring Ranch. The old wooden tub was replaced by four galvanized tubs to serve all the people who journeyed from miles away to partake of the hot sulphur baths. The Hot Springs Ranch stayed in the Neill family for some years, and then part of it was sold in 1929 to Louis G. Scovern. He added a swimming pool behind the hotel, and the property was re-named Scovern Hot Springs. When Mr. and Mrs. Scovern died, the property went to their daughter, Pauline. Pauline and John McNally were married in 1936 and they farmed the Hot Springs Ranch for years after that. Progress, the car, and subdivisions brought an end to the big ranches in Hot Springs Valley. The Hot Springs House was unused for many years but was a landmark clear into the 1960s. One artist liked to paint it because despite the broken windows and sagging beams, the house never really seemed abandoned, just waiting for a renewal. But it was not to be. On March 11, 1971, the Hot Springs House was leveled by fire. To this day, in the early morning hours, steam still rises across the fields from the springs, as if to remind us of the Hot Springs House at the turn of the century. (Ed. If anyone has a photo of the Hot Springs House, we’d love to have one on file here at the Courier.) – Kern River Courier (adapted from the writings of the late Bob Powers)
COYOTES continued from page 1 California. It closely resembles a small German shepherd with the exception of the long snout and bushy, black-tipped tail. Because they are tolerant of human activities and rapidly adjust to changes in their environment, the highly adaptable coyote populates virtually the entire state. Brennan notes that coyotes are actually the most populous in human neighborhoods, in part because there are so many food sources available to them in addition to their usual diet of rabbits, mice, birds and other small animals, young deer and sheep. Those additional food sources include left-out pet food and left-out pets, as well as unsecured garbage in neighborhoods and the rodents such garbage attracts. When coyotes are allowed access to human food and garbage, either deliberately or inadvertently, they can lose their fear of people and become a real danger. The key to minimizing coyote-human contact is based on educating the public about coyote behavior and taking sensible precautions, Brennan said. “Never allow coyotes to become accustomed to your surroundings, because familiarity can lead to contempt,” Brennan said. While the DFG does not collect statistics on coyote attacks, Brennan said, “There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t receive calls concerning nuisance coyotes.” To avoid problems with coyotes, people should follow these guidelines: Never feed or attempt to tame coyotes. The result may be deadly conflicts or serious injuries to pets, livestock and even small children. Do not leave small children or pets outside unattended. Be aware that coyotes are more active in the spring, when feeding and protecting their young. If followed by a coyote, make loud noises. If this fails, throw rocks in the animal’s direction. Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over. Most coyote sightings should be reported to local animal control districts. However, if a coyote acts aggressively or attacks people, call 911. For more information, visit www.dfg.ca.gov/keepmewild/.

She was a well-traveled pioneer California Joe Kern River Courier Columnist
In 1841 Nancy Kelsey, carrying her infant daughter Ann, crossed the Sierra on foot – the only woman in the first organized California Joe overland emigrant party to California. But her adventures had only begun. In 1843 the Kelseys and a small party started for Oregon. En route Indians stole 25 of their horses, but not without cost. ”I counted 12 of them as they went down before our guns,” she recounted. In 1844 they returned from Oregon with Nancy, Ann, and a newborn daughter to Napa Valley. Again Indians attacked. Nancy said, “While the arrows were flying into our camp, I took one babe and rolled it into a blanket and hid it in the brush, and returned and took my other child and hit it also.” In 1850 the family sold the stock from their ranch near Sonoma (from which the present-day town of Kelseyville took its name) and moved to the Humboldt area. That venture was not profitable, “but we helped start the towns of Eureka and Arcata,” claimed Nancy. Mrs. Kelsey “had enough incidents happen to me to make a book.” In1859 the Kelseys went to
Mexico and in 1861 “drifted into Texas, where we were attacked by Comanche Indians.” Nancy’s 12year-old daughter was scalped in the raid. The family returned to California, and the injured daughter died in Fresno at age 18. Benjamin died in Los Angeles in 1888. After his death, Nancy Kelsey lived alone in a remote cabin high in the mountains of Santa Barbara County, supporting herself by raising chickens and vegetables. An admiring neighbor interviewed her and sent the article to the San Francisco Examiner, which published it on February 5, 1893. In the story Nancy said,“ I have seen U. S. Grant when he was little known; I have baked bread for Gen. Fremont and I have talked to Kit Carson; I have run from a bear.” Nancy died in 1896 in her seventy-third year. She was buried at the head of Cottonwood Canyon in desolate and beautiful Cuyama River Valley. For more than 40 years the only stone marking her grave was rough concrete crudely etched “Kelsy 1823-1896.” Above it, in 1937, a chapter of the Native Daughters of the Golden West mounted a bronze plaque to commemorate the first woman to cross the plains to California.

Jana Leiran, California Department of Fish and Game fish and wildlife interpreter, said the mural was made possible by sport fishing restoration funds as well as boat and fishing tackle tax collection from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Leiran is responsible for improving the public's state hatchery experience by beautification and making them more visitorfriendly throughout the state of California. According to Marvin Waters, Kernville Fish Hatchery Manager, the mural is not all that Kernville Hatchery visitors will soon see. With new interest in the Heritage Trout Program and restoration of the native Kern River Rainbow trout, construction of a new fish spawning building, fish raceway improvements, bird enclosures (for keeping birds out), and well pumping improvements will soon begin as the facility moves again from that of being primarily a planting station to a hatchery actually raising fish again.

An uncomfortable stay Rod Middleworth Kern River Courier Columnist
Not long ago, I had occasion to spend a couple of days in a Bakersfield hospital. The treatment was excellent, but there are a few things that could be ironed out to make the stay a bit more hospitable. First they gave me a hospital gown that was open in the back and had to be put Middleworth on backwards. There's little or no dignity with your fanny hanging in the breeze while wearing one of those gowns. Next I was helped into a hospital bed with buttons that changed it up down and all around. I had taken a sedative which made me fuzzy in the head, and as I listened to the attendant explain all of the buttons it all went in one ear and out the other. Later a nurse came by and wanted my blood, and although she tried very hard and with sympathy, she managed to miss my veins on the first several attempts. (The next day my arms looked like they had rotten spots all over them). A second nurse took some round disks for monitor hookup and stuck them all over my hairy chest – using what I think was Gorilla Glue. The same nurse said she didn't
want to be around when they were removed because screaming upset her. (I didn't want to be there either!) The food was plentiful but healthy and bland. If you like the taste of saltless cardboard, you are in the right place. During the two nights I was there a nurse or specialist came by every hour or so to measure something, or take a reading of whatever. Then in the morning the same nurse would ask if I had a restful night! I tried to be polite and just nodded my medicated sleepless head. Later two doctors dropped by and examined me and listened to my heart. Both agreed that there was one there, and it was beating pretty good. After they left I asked my wife for an interpretation of the doctor talk and she just shook her head. On the third day they decided that I could go home and they put me in a wheelchair and trotted me out to the entrance. The ride from the 5th floor down was handled by an attendant who I think was a NASCAR driver in training. It was exciting to say the least! I'm home safely now, but I still wake up every hour waiting for the nurse with her needle. Ouch!

A HEARING on the petition will be held on: JUNE 30, 2011 at 9:00 A.M. in Dept. P, located at 1215 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in section 9100 of the California Probate Code. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a formal Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner: PHYLLIS M. HIX, Atty. 112 Buena Vista Drive P.O.

Camp Owen and Probation Department staff move a ceremonial shovelful of earth Wednesday to break ground for the camp’s new mess hall. The new building has been needed for many years, but a complicated land swap was necessary first.
These aerial photos were taken Saturday at the Young Eagles event. Kids were able to go up in an airplane and experience the thrill of flying. The event was put on by the Experimental Aircraft Association, Kern Valley Airport and several experienced pilots.
OWEN continued from page 1 State Sen. Jean Fuller, Kern River District Ranger Rick Larson of the U.S. Forest Service, and many more dignitaries. The new mess hall will be a 5,600 square feet building that complies with all state and federal regulations. McQuiston, who has been a vocal advocate of the camp and has been pushing for the mess hall, downplayed his role, saying, “All I did was beg for money and threaten when I didn’t get it.” McQuiston added that a big part of the project was retired Chief Probation Officer John Roberts, who was present at the ceremony. It will take about a year to build the new mess hall.
