Michael Batelaan Courier Spotlight Three Kern River Valley WWII veterans, Paul Edris, Lloyd “Country” Huckleberry and Joseph “Les” Walton assembled in the early morning of September 28, at Meadows Field for what would be the trip of a lifetime as part of the Honor Flight Kern County bound for Washington D.C. Honor Flight Kern County wants to send all 4,000 of Kern County’s WWII veterans to see the D.C. war memorials. The first Honor Flight Kern County took off on May 25, 2012. At no cost to the veterans, Honor Flight pays for their flight, hotel, meals, bus, tours, shirt

Goes to Washington Karen Zuber Courier Special I met Lloyd “Country” Huckleberry many years ago and ran into him again recently at another local fund raising event. I spoke with him regarding Honor Flight and he was quite hesitant to go. After much persuasion, and a little help from Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, Country agreed to go and was placed on the waiting list. While Gary, my husband, and I have been involved in many

a Purple Heart recipient with an oak leaf cluster, the equivalent of a second Purple Heart. "The Purple Heart is very hard to talk about,” he said, “the medals were given so freely to those injured, but there were those that were hurt so badly." Edris said that he thought they worked the Guardians too hard. He enjoyed seeing the Arlington wreath ceremony, but objected to all the pampering. "High marks to Kevin McCarthy for showing us around the Capitol on a Sunday," he said. He also enjoyed the stop at Fort McHenry in Baltimore. "Every stop we made, I thoroughly enjoyed. Best tour I have ever been on," Edris said.

and disposable cameras, and even for a hotel room the night before the flight and the night they return. ■ Paul Edris, 88 of Southlake and Bakersfield, joined the Army at age 18 in 1943 and went to the Fort Benning school infantry. He was discharged as an infantry squad leader, which he said, "You got that rank by surviving." Edris was assigned to the 95th Division, known as the "OK" because it was comprised of the Oklahoma and Kansas National Guard. Edris also served under General Patton in the Third Army of Europe. As the strategy of the war changed, he was reassigned under General Simpson in the Ninth Army until the completion of the war. Edris was

Out Inside

Honor Flight a national network Michael Batelaan Courier FYI The Honor Flight NetworkTM program began in May of 2005 when physician’s assistant, private pilot and retired Air Force Captain Earl Morse discovered World War II veterans were physically or financially unable to visit the World War II Memorial, built in their honor, in Washington D.C. Morse pioneered the creation of a volunteer network of pilots that, as of their seventh year in 2011, have safely transported more than 81,000 World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans to visit their memorial sites absolutely free of charge. The National Organization of Honor Flights has 113 flight programs (referred to as “Hubs” in 34 states, four in California. With the help of hard-working and passionate individuals, Kern County made that count 114. For more information on the program, Honor Flight Kern County has a Facebook page or on the Internet, go to www.honorflight.org

Things I have noticed...

Courier

Conduct to vets in Washington is shameful The recent reports that our government barricaded our WW II Veterans from the WW II Memorial in D.C. are shameful. How is it possible that there are funds available to close the memorial every day but, there are no funds to keep it open? Since President Ronald Reagan was able to tell the Soviet Union’s leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, to tear down the Berlin wall in front of the world, I would expect President Obama to make a phone call to the U.S. National Park Service to take down a barricade at the WW II Memorial. This is not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It is an issue of respect to our veterans from the greatest generation. Respectfully, Daures F. Stephens Weldon

Operation Christmas Child in full swing Kern County kids, families and volunteers hosted a celebration to kick off the expected 15,000 shoebox gifts to be collected from Kern County residents for needy children overseas through Operation Christmas Child this year. This celebration weekend in Kern County was the first step to getting shoeboxes collected during Operation Christmas Child's National Collection Week this Nov. 18 to 25. After they are collected on a local level, these boxes will be processed, prepared and delivered to hurting children overseas using whatever means necessary-boats, airplanes, trains and even elephants. In the Kern Valley, it was on Sunday, Oct. at the Family Life Center Wofford Heights.

You are the potter Jack Duitsman Courier Columnist But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8 While few of us may have spent much time working clay on a potter’s wheel, we can envision what is being described in the above verses and understand the process well enough to make the word picture highly instructive. A pathetic attempt at this procedure in a jinior high art class quickly brought the realization that a fallback career alternative would be a wise choice; and the off kilter pile of clay defied even the most amazing imagination to even begin guessing what I (the potter) might have had in mind. But not so the Father God Who is being described in the passages above as the One who is forming something masterful out of all that makes up our life. With the potter’s wheel representing all that transpires throughout our lifetime, and the clay representing who we have been/are presently/will be in the seasons ahead; the Master’s hands are constantly and lovingly shaping us. The overarching truths here are at least twofold: 1.) The Father knows what He is doing; and 2.) We must learn to trust the Father’s heart in the process.

Neither of these truths comes close to being a natural source of comfort to the human heart, but before we succumb to despairing sadness at such an apparent reality, we can be embraced by the grand source of encouragement which comes from the promise of God to diligently work this promise by the power of the Holy Spirit in us. Hold still on the wheel, for it is in the circumstances of life that the Father works in us and while you and I might be tempted to flinch in the face of life’s experiences, there is eternity at work in us if we will but trust. Feel the Potter’s shaping hands in all that is transpiring in and around our lives, and delight in the reality that the One who has shaped the seen and unseen universe is also shaping similar majesty within us. From the vantage point of the wheel itself there may be serious question as to what is being made of the offering of our lives to the Father’s will, but every so often a glimpse comes shining through and we can catch an encouraging ray of eternal glory in us. Jesus being shaped in us as fear gives way to trust, despair gives way to under running joy, and hopelessness for the future is replaced by peace that passes understanding. Indeed we serve a Master Potter who is trustworthy, has our eternal good in mind through all of life’s circumstances, and Who can be simply trusted in all we are experiencing. Jack Duitsman pastors Father’s Heart Foursquare Church in Kernville.

Campsites closed in forest

Campers in designated campgrounds in the Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia Monument are being asked to leave as the federal government shutdown continues. Sequoia National Forest Supervisor Kevin Elliott said Wednesday that all campgrounds in the forest are being shut because of a lack of personnel to maintain and manage them. While the roads into the forest remain open, the forest headquarters in Porterville and all three ranger offices are closed. The Sequoia National Forest furloughed 95 employees on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are also asking campers to leave and the park has been shut to visitors. Sequoia National Forest is open to visitors, but services are very limited. Elliott said firefighters and essential personnel were not furloughed. Roughly 166 employees of the local forest remain on the job.

Fire restrictions changed with cooler temperatures In response to the decreasing fire danger, the Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument announced a change in fire restrictions. This includes forestlands located in Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties. Campfires and charcoal barbecues are now allowed in designated sites less vulnerable to wildfire, which includes most developed campgrounds. These locations are posted at Forest offices and listed on the Sequoia National Forest website fs.usda.gov/sequoia/. Stoves and lanterns with shut-off valves that use gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed anywhere. In all cases, the visitor must possess a valid California Campfire Permit. Free campfire permits are available online. Fire officials expect these restrictions to remain in place until measurable precipitation falls in the area. Please take a closer look at the following website preventwildfireca.org/OneLessSpark/ to see how you can help prevent wildfires.

‘Conjuring’ terror By Sam Struckhoff PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Conjuring” (R) — What is it about remote farmhouses in the foggy reaches of New England that makes them so popular for evil spirits? This haunted-house thriller follows the based-on-a-true story characters Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), two supernatural investigators called to check out the creaky home of the Perron family in the mid1970s. Spookiness accomplished. It’s an old formula — family with vulnerable children moves into a musty old house, screams in the night escalate until you can’t sit still. Director James Wan (“Saw,” “Insidious”) squeezes out every last drop of terror without pouring out any blood. “The Way Way Back” (PG-13) — Duncan (Liam James) is a quiet 14-year-old boy stuck on a family vacation with his mom (Toni Collette) and her arrogant boyfriend (Steve Carell). While the adults are glad to be rid of him, Duncan gets a job and meets the first person who actually takes an interest in seeing him grow up with confidence — the carefree manager of a local waterpark (Sam Rockwell). While the main character of this coming-of-age story is kind of gloomy, the rest of the cast creates a fun atmosphere without the usual, stale feel-goodery. Carell plays a real jerk for once, and he

“The Conjuring” provides a believable bully. The writer-director duo of Jim Rash and Nat Faxon (who took the Oscar for best screenwriting for “The Descendents”) bring their winning combination of drama and comedy. “Before Midnight” (R) — Richard Linklater revisits the romance set forth almost 20 years ago in “Before Sunrise.” Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is an American author, a charmer and a bit of a hound. Celine (Julie Delpy) is a French environmentalist who’s worried that she’s settled down with somebody who can’t stay settled. The couple — who experienced a spontaneous romance and then a rekindling in the past two movies — have now been together steadily for nine years. While on vacation in Greece, they have time to banter back and forth about their future and the durability of their spark. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (Apr. 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 25th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue.

Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life — and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) Holding fast on your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

1. Fred McGriff did it in 14 seasons as a 1st baseman between 1988 and 2002; 2. Felipe Alou and Phil Roof; 3. It was 1993; 4. Over — 1,108 games; 5. In 1991, the then-Quebec Nordiques drafted Eric Lindros first overall; 6. It was 1992, when the Unified Team (former USSR countries) topped the U.S. by four medals; 7. Seven strokes, by Larry Laoretti (1992) and Brad Bryant (2007).

Advanced Reconveyance, Inc., As Trustee, 43545 17th Street W., Ste 503, 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.

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.

Continued from page 1 ■ Lloyd “Country” Huckleberry, 87 of Weldon, joined the Navy in 1943 as a Seaman. He was discharged as a Boatswain's Mate Second Class. His tour of duty was the South Pacific and he was part of an amphibious landing party and an underwater demolition team. At the end of the war he was in a Seabee detail unit and did material salvage. He was also a Master of Arms at Pearl Harbor. "It was a fantastic trip of a lifetime. I will take it to my grave with me," Huckleberry said of the Honor Flight. Four of the Kern County veterans were Purple Heart recipients, three from the Kern Valley. They got to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown at Arlington National cemetery and Huckleberry said it was a very moving experience. ■ Joseph “Les” Walton, 89 of Riverkern joined the Navy November 1941 at the age of 21 and served until 1945. He enlisted as a seaman and was discharged as a Ship Fitter First Class. He was assigned to the Battleship Nevada, which was run

Country does not tell war stories, but I did get a sense of his involvement in World War II. He was a Navy man. He entered into duty at 16 years of age. He was injured in the line of duty and is a recipient of a Purple Heart. While at the World War II Memorial, it was obvious that some memories from so long ago were flooding through his mind. Country has lived a very full life, the many things he has done made me

Then he served in the Normandy invasion, in Southern France and at Iwo Jima and the bombardment of Okinawa, during which time a six inch shell landed over the top of where he was on the ship and wounded him. He said, "I got a ribbon for doing my job," referring to his Purple Heart. Of Honor Flight, Walton said, "I sure appreciated that trip; it was the time of a lifetime." He was impressed with the large mural and busts of the presidents in the White House, and with the hundreds of people welcoming them and with seeing the Washington Mall and Washington Memorial lit up at night. "The work of those volunteers, Guardians they call them, was unbelievable," he said. Honor Flight left Bakersfield via Phoenix and Baltimore and in D.C. and got a night view of the Memorials. Then saw the Korean, the Vietnam, Woman's, the Lincoln, the Marine, the Air Force and Navy Memorials. They went to the Capital Building and had a personal tour by Kevin McCarthy.

He has a story that still needs to be told to the next generation. Thank you Country for serving this Nation, and thank you to the community for your donations that made his trip possible. Gary and Karen Zuber of Mountain Mesa are the Kern Valley contacts for the Honor Flight. They assist the veterans and their guardians in submitting their applications, raising public awareness and organizing local fundraising events.
