First District Supervisor Jon McQuiston announced Monday that he will not be seeking re-election at the end of his term in 2012. McQuiston "Following several months of consideration, I am announcing today that I will not seek another term as Supervisor for the First District.” Jon McQuiston said in a statement released from his First District office. McQuiston said although it has been a great honor and privilege to represent the citizens of Kern County, after more than forty years of public service in the military, other federal service, and sixteen years as First District Supervisor, it was time to begin a new chapter in his life and that he wanted to allow time for others who have a desire to serve to have that opportunity. “It is and will continue to be my desire to preserve Kern County's rich history, culture, economic well being, and support of our military bases” he said.

Homeland Security & Wyatt Earp
REVA (Responsible, Ethical, Volunteers for Animals) say thank you
Rod Middleworth Kern River Courier Columnist
REVA (Responsible, Ethical, Volunteers for Animals) wants to say how thankful they are to the following businesses and individuals, who so generously gave to the success of REVA's, Saturday, September 17th fund raising dinner/dance and silent auction "Cruising at the Beach" event. Decorators--Smitty Glass, Lynn Trimble-Ventriloquist, Bettie Henry, and Joanie, Animal House, and Stella's Boutique & Beyond, Charlie's Market Wofford Heights. Lah De Dah, Crafty Lady, Lore's Loft, Buzzard Gulch, Natural Health, James Sierra Gateway Market, Alta Sierra Broadcasting LLC, Debra Wiruth Gallery, Bowman Photography and Ewings in Kernville. True Value Hardware, Johnstone's, Art Foundation, Darlene's Pet Salon, Etc, Whitman's ("California Girl") Dancers, My Place, Mary and Gerald Morehouse, and the Andrade Family of Lake Isabella. Frank and Dean's Pro Shop, Mt. Mesa. Critter Sitters, Weldon. Frito Lay, Coca Cola, Bikersfield Design & Clothing, Petroleum Club and Don and Sally Blanco of Bakersfield. Disneyland in Anaheim and Lafayette Hotel & Suites of San Diego. These and the beach party attendees have helped REVA a (501(c)(3) tax deductible organization with another step up the ladder to completion of a non-profit, low-cost mobile spay and neuter veterinary clinic for The Kern River Valley, which is locally based, and will hire local residents once medically equipped.
It was 1943 and the location somewhere in the desert near Barstow. I was living with Gram and Gramps, who had closed up their cabin in Big Bear Middleworth Lake to become plane spotters as part of a nationwide network. The purpose was to find and report any and all planes that we spotted. When we saw an airplane we gave headquarters the heading, speed and description. Our spotting kiosk was manned 24/7 and we were always ready for main office radio traffic. We lived in a 24-foot government trailer. Our water came from an elevated 200-gallon tank filled by truck once a week. Because the tank sat in the hot sun all day, we always had hot water (very, very hot). If we wanted cold we’d chip ice from a 50-pound block kept in our ancient wooden ice box. A trip to Barstow once a week replaced the ice and allowed us to grocery shop. Electricity came from a noisy generator that ran long enough to keep the spotter transmitter batteries charged and allow us light for a couple of hours in the evenings. Bedtime was 9 p.m.

Our toilet was an outhouse about 50 feet from the trailer. Nobody in their right mind used it during the 110-degree afternoons. We called it the “Fiery Furnace” and during the day it was only used in a dire emergency. Even though I was only 11, I also stood a regular spotter watch, but when off duty during the day, I hiked down the road about a mile to visit with a boy my age. Charlie lived on a ranch with a swimming pool. Charlie’s last name was Earp and he told me he was related to the famous lawman, Wyatt Earp. In fact, he claimed Wyatt had visited the ranch several times. I was impressed, not realizing that these visits happened a very long time ago. For amusement we would act out a drama of Wyatt Earp and the “Badguy.” I was the “Badguy” and would get shot by Wyatt, but I didn’t mind because I always got to fall into the pool. In fact I would go out of my way to get shot again just for an extra dip. After a year, our spotter job was phased out and we moved back to Big Bear, secure in the belief that, for that year, we had thwarted the enemy and provided the first Homeland Security for the Western half of The United States! Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth, a retired security manager for Pacific Bell, is an instructor for the local AARP Driver Safety Program.

Karen, at Earth Spirit Studios, introduces new line at Turkey Vulture Festival You know, we all wear her hats and jewelry, while our dogs model one of kind fall and winter wear, of course I'm speaking of Karen at Earth Spirit Studios. While our friend has been on hiatus, her creativity has been working overtime and does she have a surprise in store. This coming Saturday, September 24th, at the nature preserve's Vulture festival (in Weldon off of Hwy 178, just past Sierra Way) Karen will be introducing a stunning, sophisticated, yet fun line of earth inspired jewelry and wares. You won't want to miss it. Experience a creative fantasy land you'll go buggy over! Be the first to pick and own a very unique gift or treasure from the new collection. See you there!

‘Dexter’ returning to Showtime By Cindy Elavsky Q: It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for “Dexter” to return for its sixth season. Can you tell me when it will be back? -- Stacie E., via e-mail Hall A: Wait no longer, Stacie. “Dexter” returns to Showtime on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. This 12-episode season will see some major changes for our favorite serial killer/blood-spatter analyst (played by Michael C. Hall). According to Showtime’s president David Nevins: “There’s going to be some things that happen over this season of “Dexter” that can change some of the DNA in the show. “As a programmer, I believe in change,” he said. “I’m not scared of change. I know where they’re going this season and have some sense of where they could go in subsequent seasons.” Q: First of all, I still can’t believe that the original “Law and Order” was canceled. And second, can you tell me what series star Sam Waterston has coming up? Judith F., via e-mail
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Buck” (PG) -This documentary tells the story of real-life cowboy and horse-guru Buck Brannaman. Buck’s talent is something astounding to Brannaman behold -- he emphasizes sensitivity and partnership when he’s working with defiant equestrians. As Buck puts it, he’s “helping horses with people problems.” The film links Buck’s profound sympathy with his childhood as the abused son of another famous cowboy hero. When Buck sees troubled horses, he has an uncanny ability to see through to the troubles in the lives of their owners. This tale of a true character with awe-inspiring presence and an enormous heart has been wrangling in awards since hitting the trail at Sundance. “Fast Five” (PG-13) -- Against the exotic backdrop of Rio de Janeiro, a wild crew of expert drivers plot one last criminal act to escape the law. If you had Dwayne Johnson coming after you, you’d drive like a maniac too. As the

“Scream 4” (R) -- When this series started more than a decade ago, it was first slasher series to attain full self-awareness. As a loving parody of a genre known for predictability, “Scream 4” tries to inject some whodunit mystery into the darkened territory of horror movies. When beautiful young starlets are getting killed off like it’s the ’90s again, returning members of the original cast (Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox) must solve the mystery and stop the Ghostface Killer before nobody is left in the movie younger than 40. While teen girls tremble in horror of a mad man with a kitchen knife, audiences might sweat under the weight of so much self-referential humor and constant winks at the camera. © 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

A: You’ll have to wait only a little while longer to see Mr. Waterston on television again, but you’ll need to order HBO if you don’t already have it. He is set to star in the new series by the writer of “The West Wing” and “The Social Network.” The asyet-untitled drama will center on a cable-news anchor, played by Jeff Daniels, and a newsroom boss, played by Sam Waterston. Q: I am a huge fan of Starz’s “Spartacus” and was wondering how the original Spartacus, Andy Whitfield, is doing? I read in your column that he”s been battling cancer. Paul Y., via e-mail A: It makes me very sad to report that the handsome young actor recently lost his battle with nonHodgkin lymphoma. He passed away on Sept. 11 at 39 with his wife, Vashti, at his side. She said, “He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have helped carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was.” Write to Cindy Elavsky at King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

final stunt in the “Fast and Furious” series, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson reprise their roles, and yes, they all still have abs. Every shot that isn’t going 100 miles an hour is packed with some form of eye candy -- exciting locales, daring stunts, flashy cars or shots of the beautiful women who apparently live in remarkable population densities throughout Brazil. The movie’s climactic onelast-heist is a fitting end for its adrenaline-injected franchise.

“Our future is faced with many challenges due to an ever increasing and restrictive statutory and regulatory environment. I wish the best to those who seek this office and appreciate their willingness to serve.” Since supervisor McQuiston’s announcement least 3 potential candidates for the supervisor - Daures Stephens, a Kern County sheriff's
deputy; Dave Freeland, a retired U.S. Forest Service District Ranger and Debbie Hess, a public relations employee of Southern California Edison from the Kern Valley have already indicated that they will seek Supervisor Jon McQuiston’s seat. Delano Councilman Sam Ramirez has also officially launched his 1st District Supervisor's campaign this week, picking up a list of registered voters at the Kern County Elections office. In addition Ridgecrest Mayor Pro Tem Marshall Holloway announced Monday the formation of an exploratory Committee to consider a run for the First District office. Holloway made his decision after incumbent McQuistion announced Monday that he would not seek a fifth term. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jon McQuiston for his incredible service to this community, this county and most importantly this country," Holloway said. Holloway said the next supervisor has some big shoes to fill and some big issues to tackle and he would make a final decision on his candidacy sometime before the end of October, and he would not be accepting campaign donations at this time. He is currently serving his fourth term on the Ridgecrest City Council.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward. - Psalm 19:11 The above referenced Psalm is of course directDuitsman ing our attention to the Word of God (law, testimony, precept, ordinance, commandment), with an invitation to live according to its directives. Clearly there is a direct cause and effect relationship between our willingness to embrace the invitations of the Father's heart as He revealed them in His Word, and the touch of grace that will be experienced as life is lived out. If this sounds too legalistic or works-righteousness to our grace oriented hearts, then we would do well to peer deeper into the movement of the Spirit that impacts our lives. No, eternal salvation is not on the line with every poor choice that we might make in life, that has been taken care of by the work of Jesus our Savior on Calvary's cross, and His work in our hearts that brought about saving faith. However, our choices (both excellent and dire) do have an impact on how much of God's gracious blessing, and abundance will be experienced throughout the course of life. If, for instance, our life is lived in the pursuit of that which is detrimental to healthy bodily function, the love of God is not deterred toward us, but physical abundance may be seriously affected. Similarly, poor choices that impact relationship, business, finance, career pursuits and the like, do not
hamper even a little bit the Father's love for us, but they will have a direct influence on the shape and direction of our lives. There is tremendous opportunity for the adversary to overwhelm us with condemnation, yet similarly, you and I are encouraged and invited to live in the freedom of God's forgiving love, and the powerful truth of Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." Amen to this powerful reality in our hearts, and the determination to live in this freedom . . . even while we press on and peer deeper into the subject matter before us. What is the "great reward" referred to in the above Psalm, and how do we tap into procuring this for ourselves? In answering this, let's first distance ourselves from visions of glorious treasures, and never ending physical strength in bodies that don't grow old. Rather, let's "seek first His kingdom and righteousness," and therein see the fulfillment of the Father's promises to us His children. That we may experience some of the former delicacies of life is not out of the question (nor that we might not), but that we will experience the full force of what is promised to those who walk after the Word is what comes into full view. There is no doubt about the Father's commitment to bring His Word to pass in our lives (as defined by Him and worked in His perfect timing of course!), and the closer we walk to His heart expressed in His Word, the more gloriously this blessed abundance will be ours. How the Scripture invites us to live, we ought to embrace with unabashed gusto, and experience and enjoy the outworking of life lived in this matter. As we do, we will experience a continual unfolding of understanding what it means that "in keeping them there is great reward."

Why?
Walking after the word Jack Duitsman, Pastor Father’s Heart Foursquare Church, Kernville
faith Directory
Clarence Semonious, Pastor Prince of Peace Lutheran Fellowship, Kernville
Christians, why do you think you should know why the Bible was written? In a video exercise, The Truth Project, I have been introduced to a variety of answers. They Semonious go a long way to reveal the speakers' attitudes about much more than the Bible. The first question and the larger thought, is, "Why was the Bible written?" Did you think; I don't know and don't care; it is a set of rules for life; it is an owner's manual and so prescribes behaviors which God finds acceptable, or a text used for religious meetings but may be generally ignored otherwise. There are a few members of every denomination - and some not holding membership in any religious group who see the Bible as a love letter from God to His creation. Perhaps there is a confusion as to why the Bible was written that explains why today, Christians and non Christians are virtually indistinguishable in society. The Bible has been described as 66
books, written over a period of centuries, and holding the distinction of being the least changed of any writing previous to modern printing. In so far as the first five books are concerned, "The LORD said to Moses, 'Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.'" Exodus 24:12. Psalm 91 is about the safety of those who have God for their refuge and how they are in His favor. After His resurrection, Jesus said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." Luke 24:46-47. John wrote in chapter 20, "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." The Song of Solomon has been called a Divine allegory. It uses strong language to embody the love between Christ and his church of true believers. Jerome tells us that the Jews forbade it to be read by any until he was thirty years old.

Talking About Real Estate
Interest rate dance part deux Matt Freeman Kern River Courier Columnist
Last week we stressed the fact that interest rates are very good right now on mortgages nationwide. It is not often in this nation's history that we have seen rates stay this low for this long. However, though this is true there Freeman are different qualification factors that weigh into whether or not a buyer will get the lowest current rate on the market. The biggest factor is credit worthiness, basically the lower your credit score; the more you are going to pay. The 2nd largest factor that pertains to whether or not you are going to be able to get the lowest current market rate is your down payment. The best rates available are on Conventional loans with 20% or more down. If you go with a government loan product, you will have to put much less down but you will also have a higher interest rate. The 3rd factor that can weigh into what your interest rate is going to be is the type of home you are buying and how you are going to be using the home. Typically loans on manufactured housing have a higher interest rate than for stick built housing, for example. Rates on condos are also higher and the lender looks not only at the condo unit
itself but also the solvency of the Home Owner's Association. If you are going to be using the home as your primary residence, you will typically get a lower interest rate than if you are going to be using the home for either a weekend home or an investment property. Lenders assign interest rates based on risk, and the more risk they perceive to themselves the higher the rate is going to be, So the best way to approach getting a mortgage is to just do what is best for you and yours. If you do not have a lot of down payment and want the house to be a primary residence, go with an FHA, VA or USDA loan, all great mortgage products with little or nothing down. If you are buying a 2nd home, get ready to put some money down there is no way around it these days with the tightening of the mortgage market. Leverage your buying power. If you come across a good deal and you do not have the down payment for a conventional loan, go with a government product, because in the long run even though the interest is a bit higher you most likely will be in a better financial position if you use that type of loan versus draining all of your resources. Sometimes it is ok to make a bit higher payment and be able to have a savings and make investments, leverage debt.

Paul C. Donohue, M.D. Syndicated columnist DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the difference between anxiety and panic attack? I am claustrophobic and I need to fly from the West Coast to the East Coast and back. I can’t do so because of my problem. Can you give me some suggestions on how to be able to fly with this problem? Is there a medicine I could take before I get on the plane? -Anon. ANSWER: Anxiety is excessive worry. In some cases, worry is appropriate. But with pathological anxiety, the worry is about things that don’t merit worry or about imagined things that truly merit no concern. Under “anxiety disorders” are many different conditions, each with a slightly different set of symptoms. They all share some things in common. Panic attacks are the sudden onset of terror in places where such terror is inappropriate. The attack builds to a high point in a matter of 10 minutes or less. The attack can take place in a perfectly neutral situation, like shopping in the grocery store. During an attack, the heart beats fast, people become short of breath, and they often sweat and fear they are at
death’s door. Phobias are unreasonable fears of people, places and things that don’t engender fear in others. Claustrophobia is the fear of being in an enclosed space, like an airplane. Phobias can bring on a panic attack. Maybe your phobia is not so much a fear of enclosed space but a fear of flying. I’m not certain these distinctions are of importance to you. The important thing for you is to uproot whatever it is that paralyzes you when you must board an airplane or to blunt it so you can function. Mental health professionals can get you over anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. The doctor might prescribe a medicine that calms you and that you take only when needed. You won’t become dependent on that medicine every day of your life. You use it only for the situation that throws you into such high anxiety. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. All Rights Reserved © 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

Anxiety, Phobias & Panic Attacks
insurance matters
High tech bottletops Harry P. Thal Kern River Courier Columnist "Doctor, I forgot. Besides, with the cost of these pills, if I do happen to 'forget' a few times a week, I can stretch the prescription out and save some Harry Thal money. I am feeling fine, and probably don't need all that medicine anyway." The cost of people not taking their prescription medication is estimated to cost, on a national basis, $253.8 billion dollars a year, according to an Express Scripts 2010 drug trend report. When you consider the diabetic requiring surgery or amputation for not taking his/her medications, or the person with high cholesterol who now requires bi-pass surgery to get his 'plumbing' redirected, the cost of not taking medication can be disastrous. If Joe requires a few hundred thousand dollar surgery, where do you think the insurance company gets the money to pay the hospital and doctors, not to mention the recovery expenses, the therapy and all the follow up office visits? All because he 'forgot' to take his medication.
Sierra Valley Mortuary Now Now offering offering cremations cremations for for
$595.00
A possible solution to this economic dilemma is a new innovative prescription bottle cap known as a "GlowCap". The GlowCap uses the homes wireless Internet connection, light, sound and phone calls to 'remind' patients it is time to take their medication. 1,000 volunteers, who met specific criteria, who take blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetic medication received these new bottle tops with their Express Scripts refill. Now, when they are due to take their medication, the bottle top flashes orange for one hour. If the top is not opened within that hour, for the next hour, the bottle flashes orange and plays a ring tone for the next hour. If the bottle still remains unopened, then the patient or caregiver gets a reminder phone call. It is hoped that this experiment by Express Scripts and Anthem Blue Cross will produce more regular taking of medication. If successful, perhaps someday in the future, we will see a light show and musical medley when we open our medicine cabinet. Harry P.
