Environmental Magnet school
Joy Tessman Courier Cover Story KREM, Kern River Environmental Magnet, school kicked off the year to a great start with local field studies and service trips. Every Tuesday and Thursday the students
focus on learning about the environment through field/service trips and guided exploration with local experts. Field notes are taken from which the students write a short essay about their experience. We'd like to share these adventures with
cational as well as fun. KREM started the school year with a cool science field trip. On the trip, we learned about the riparian nature of the Kern River Valley. First, we went

Golden Trout Wilderness
Special delivery Denise Alonzo, USFS Courier Outdoors
Mike Morris, a Forest Service employee and packer since 1974 said, "The 19 mules working on the Fish Fire can carry almost 3,700 pounds in one trip [the equivalent of two medium helicopters]. The cost of a pack train is roughly $0.14 per pound. A helicopter costs about $0.67 per pound." When the pack strings are not working on fires, they can assist in other wilderness tasks including trail maintenance and supporting wilderness rangers on their patrols. Pack trains working in the Wilderness provide information on closures, wilderness etiquette and fire information to wilderness users they encounter while entering or exiting an area. Incident Commander Matt Reidy said, "The success of this incident was due in large part to the support of the already established U.S. Forest Service Region 5 Packers. We saved countless hours of risk to
As the Fish Fire is burned in the Golden Trout Wilderness retaining its primeval character and influence was important. Because motorized vehicles are not allowed in the Wilderness, other methods are needed to support the fire crews camped in the area for up to two weeks. While helicopters are useful to shuttle supplies in and out of the area, an alternative method to supply crews on the fire line is mule pack trains outfitted with special saddles that can hold boxes filled with supplies including food, water and tools. Each mule can carry up to 160 pounds of equipment on their seven mile one-way trip to the spike camp where fire fighters are temporarily camped. It takes 2 hours and 40 minutes to reach the spike camp. lodging

USSF Release The Forest Service is preparing to host a webinar about the Travel Analysis Process, Subpart A, being conducted for the Sequoia National Forest. The Forest is continuing to implement the 2005 Travel Management Rule. Completion of Subpart A will identify a properly sized road system for each National Forest System unit. Roads have been a focus of controversy on national forests. An expanding forest road network in the last half-century has resulted in a system of more than 380,000 miles of roads and created extensive opportunities for new national forest uses and activities. There are approximately 1646 miles of system roads on Sequoia National Forest, of which, approximately 822 miles cross Giant Sequoia National Monument. How roads are managed must be reassessed in light of those changes. The Forest Service must find an appropriate balance between the benefits of access to the national forests and the costs of road-associated effects to ecosystems values. Providing road systems that are safe to the public, responsive to public needs, environmentally sound, affordable, and efficient to manage is among the agency's top priorities. The ultimate goal of the Travel Analysis Process is management and sustainability of a road system that minimizes adverse environmental impacts by assuring roads are in locations only where they are necessary to meet access needs, and can be maintained within budget

Guest Editorial:
Chuck White bids a fond farewell Rev. Chuck White I would like to express my appreciation to my friends and colleagues. However, due to failing health, I was unable to be present for the fifth concert of the 2013 River Rhythms concerts. I was excited to see how well the concerts in the park were received. I will be living just a few minutes away from my daughter in Everett, WA, and Liz and I will miss the friends that I have made here in the Valley. I have been blessed to be a part of the United Methodist Church family in the Kern River Valley and Tehachapi for the 21 years I lived here. Although Liz and I are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), we were “Metha-byterian” while in the Valley. This is a term we coined during our high school years. I had hoped to have time to say good bye to everyone, but, at this time my health will not allow me to do so. There are many things I am grateful for as Liz and I consider our Kern River Valley years. Like the ecosystems that converge with each other resulting in a unique environment, so too many people have moved her from many places across the nation and around the world, each one contributing to a unique and desirable community. Particularly I am grateful for the five years that I spent as president of The Kern River Valley Revitalization. I am pleased that the KRVR Board of Directors has facilitated the formation of the Kern River Valley Community Fund and I encourage everyone to support the endeavor through your contribution toward a permanent fund. For further information, you can contact Joe Ciriello at Golden State Surplus. I am also pleased about the way KRVR has helped with the development of the Giant Sequoia National Monument Association, in which I was membership chair and Secretary. The
The year 1932 National Forest Service has been made aware, through the influence of the Giant Sequoia National M o n u m e n t Association, that both Springville and the Kern River Valley White provide gateways to the Giant Sequoia National Monument. It has been a wonderful experience to serve on the Board of Directors of the Kern River Valley Education and Cultural Foundation that has presented the annual Clay Witherow Academic Achievement Award to an excelling Cerro Coso Kern Valley student. The Foundation also provides financial assistance which enables Cerro Coso Community College to provide textbooks to be loaned to deserving students who do not have other means of support for their textbooks. Recently a scholarship fund has been established partially through the generous support of Southern California Edison and others at the time of the Holiday Gala in December 2012. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as president of this important foundation and am most appreciative of the leadership that Tim McGlew is now providing as president. Among other things, I am appreciative of the response to the Education and Cultural Foundation Board of Directors’ vision to provide concerts, including a wide variety of music, along the beautiful Kern River. With the support of a growing number of businesses, organizations and individuals, these concerts are free to the public with an opportunity to donate toward the ongoing work of the Foundation. And I want to give a special thank you to Charlie Busch, who is the spark plug for these wonderful concerts. I bid you farewell.
Rod Middleworth Courier Columnist
A few days ago I was reading about birthdays and things that happened during the year a person is born. Also it’s interesting to see Middleworth what famous persons were also born the same year. In fact, it’s kind of fun to see what happened in the first year of my life. At the off chance that some readers could care less when or where I was born, and what happened, I will make this as painless as possible. Let’s look at the year of 1932, a very important year because that’s when I was born. If I hadn’t been born, none of the 1932 dates would interest me because I wasn’t around. I noticed that this was the year of the Great Depression. It wasn’t my fault. I was just a little guy looking out of a crib somewhere in Nebraska. But it did happen and folks were selling pencils on street corners to make a buck. Here are some other things that came about in 1932. The average cost of a house was $3840 and the average wage was $1600 a year if you had a job. Alcoholics Anonymous was formed in New York. This may have come about when my mom first saw me and decided to start drinking. Or maybe not. Also in the year 1932, the first Volkswagen was built in Germany
This is a summary of the remarks that Rev. White’s daughter, Teresa Alldredge, read at the final 2013 River Rhythms concert on his behalf. He will be sorely missed.

Reader enjoys subcribing to the Courier Enclosed please find my check for my two-year subscription to the Courier. When I called and talked to Sara, she was so sweet and so nice I would have sent a 10-year subscription in, but she said two was it. She sounded so young when we talked, I asked her if she was 27 and she said no, that she was going to hit the big 7-0 next year. I think she was pulling my leg, but then that’s the way women are. I know. I’ve got one! I enjoy the Courier very much. Thanks, James L. Harber Yucaipa, CA
(the people’s car). It never got popular in the U.S. until the 1950s and many then were called the love-bugs. Hamburgers were a nickel as was a cuppa coffee. Some of the famous people that were born the same year as me were: Jerry Lewis, Liz Taylor, Charlie Rich, Sonny Liston, Johnnie Cash and Omar Sharif. We were all kids at the same time, we just didn't live near each other (I could have been famous too, but I lived in the wrong place). Here are some of the other things that emerged that year. Parking meters were invented and put to use in Oklahoma (although many were used just to tie horses to). A song that was popular that year, was “Brother Can You Spare a Dime” sung by Bing Crosby. It was very appropriate as 23 percent of the work force was unemployed and Social Security came into being called by the first recipients as “Ham and Eggs.” In 1932, while I was crawling around the floor, Amelia Earhart was flying across the Atlantic. While she was doing that I was being a kid. Folks that had the money could buy a new car for $610; bread was 10 cents, milk 12 cents. To wrap this up, lots of things happened in 1932, and I was there, but I was busy crying for my bottle of milk and having my diaper changed.

Seeing far
April 15, 1950 - August 28, 2013 Carolynne Jean Fandino, 63, went to be with Jesus on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013. Carolynne, daughter of Robert and Eva Frey and amazing wife of Carlos Fandino, passed away peacefully at her home in Lake Isabella, CA. She is survived by her loving husband Carlos of 40 years, four beautiful daughters Emily, Eva, Erica and Ellie. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Barry, Hayden, Luca and Marshall, all living in the Southern California area. Carolynne worked as a teacher for more than 25 years until her retirement in 2013. She was awarded the Kern Valley High School 2013 Teacher of the Year award. She lived her life for Christ and shared His love with everyone she knew. She also loved to read, teach, sing, cook, bake and fellowship with her family. She and the whole family loved taking trips to Disneyland and she was able to visit the Happiest Place on Earth before she went to the Happiest Place in the Universe. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, KVHS acquaintances and former students. Services will be announced at a future date.

Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist One of the things I like best about living in the Kern River Valley is being able to see far. I really enjoy views where I can see for many miles. Schlensker I love being able to sit on my patio on the Wofford Heights mountainside and see all the way to Mountain Mesa, six miles away, not to mention the peaks more than three times distant. It’s a kick, whether I have my binoculars out or not. Seeing far reminds me of a couple of Bible story incidents, too. The first was when God showed Moses the entire Promised Land prior to the Israelites’ conquest of it - from a mountaintop, which was on the East side of the Jordon River and North of the Dead Sea. That was the only view Moses was going to get of the Land, because he had rebelled against God and disobeyed God’s command in the wilderness of Zin, when, instead of speaking to the rock and commanding it to bring forth water, he showboated a bit and struck the rock twice with his sacred rod (Numbers 20:8-12). Although Moses had dishonored God in his action, God blessed him with a glimpse of the entire Land, which He had promised to give to Abraham and his descendants
(Genesis 13:14-15). God could have torched Moses, or caused the earth to swallow him up, or drowned him, but He didn’t. In His merciful patience, God allowed Moses to see far into the Promised Land before he died. The other seeing far incident happened when Satan took Jesus up to a very high mountain. From that vantage point Satan was reported (Matthew 4:8) to have shown Jesus all the nations of the world at once (as if God-in-humanflesh needed any help), and he offered them to Jesus (as if they weren’t already His as the almighty Creator of the earth and heavens) if only He’d bow down and worship him. Wow, what a view! That day Jesus totally shut down the devil, withstanding his every temptation by counteracting each of them with God’s word. Then, from the cross, when Jesus said, “It is finished!” (John 19:2), He delivered the head-crushing blow to Satan, (which God, Who could see infinitely far into the future, had predicted in the Garden of Eden according to Genesis 3. What was “finished” was a beautiful new view for all believers in Jesus. That view peers - through the forgiveness of sins, which Jesus won for us on the cross - far into a glorious future scene in the magnificent surroundings of heaven. That’s the best kind of seeing far there is! Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Lake Isabella.

Whatzit?of the month Kern River Valley Historical Society Courier Release In order to promote the Kern Valley Museum and its raffle fundraiser, the Historical Society is partnering with the Kern River Courier to sponsor the “Whatzit of the Month.” Each month, an object at the Kern Valley Museum will be pictured in the paper. Take a close look at each month’s object. Your task is to identify it and send a 3x5 index card to the Kern Valley Museum, P.O. Box 651, Kernville CA 93238 with your name, address, telephone number and the correct answer on the card. At the end of the month, they will put all the cards with the correct answer in a hat and draw one out. That Whatzit? is the winning card. The winner will receive five raffle tickets to be placed in the hopper for our Morro Bay Get Away for Two Adventure. To be fair, our museum docents cannot participate in the Whatzit Contest. You must be an adult to participate. Only one entry per name per month and your entry must be at the museum by the end of the month. July’s winner was Jim Wilbur of Lake Isabella. Last month’s object
was one of the old telephones once used in the Edison power stations. So what is the Morro Bay Get Away for Two Raffle all about? It is this year’s main fundraiser to support the museum. You can win our Morro Bay Get Away for Two Adventure by purchasing raffle tickets at the Kern Valley Museum. You do not need to participate in the Whatzit Contest to win. If you win, you get two nights stay for two at the lovely Marina Street Inn Bed & Breakfast in Morro Bay. You get to enjoy dinner for two at Dorn’s Original Breaker Café in Morro Bay. You also will delight in a tour of Hearst Castle. The entire package will be arranged so you can go when you want to, not just during the off season. The winning ticket for the Morro Bay trip will be drawn on Dec. 1. So take a chance. Tickets are only $1 each or six for $5. You can improve your chance of winning by purchasing as many as you like. Stop by the museum and get your tickets before they are all gone. They certainly appreciate your support. The Kern Valley Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday through Sunday.

Through the Universe
There is a LADEE on the moon Casey James Courier Columnist Today, Sept. 6, the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) Observatory will launch from the James Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia heading straight for orbit around the moon. The mission for LADEE is to collect data about the moon’s very thin atmosphere, the environmental influences on lunar dust and surface conditions near the lunar surface. This data can then be used for a better understanding of planetary bodies in our solar system. This mission is also a large step for space exploration as it will be the first probe of any kind ever launched to beyond earth orbit. Also this month, we’re going to see a few smaller meteor showers; the Alpha Aurigids, the Epsilon Perseids and the Southern Taurids. Each of these showers will still be a sight to see even though, at their maximum, they will only produce up to six meteors per hour. As with any meteor shower they are always relatively easy to see and can likely be seen right out your front door, though I’d recommend going somewhere away from city lights with a clear view of the night sky. I’ve found that Fairview Helispot and Hanning Flat are great places to see the night sky with only a short drive. If you do make the drive to Fairview Helispot, try to make it on a night that the Kern River Valley Astronomy Club are holding one of their Star Parties. They can show you some great celestial objects in the night sky through some of their telescopes.
Then, for those with a telescope, on Thursday, Sept. 19, Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction with one another. During this time the two planets will appear to be right next to each other in our night sky when actually they are still roughly 416 million miles apart. Also this month, comets Shoemaker and Brewington are going to be making passes near Earth but will be tough to see without a larger telescope. If you’ll remember, back in 1994, pieces of Comet Shoemaker left their mark on Jupiter when they collided with the massive planet leaving scars, some the size of Texas, which were easily visible through smaller telescopes here on earth. When the comet struck Jupiter, it was the first time two celestial bodies were ever observed colliding with one another providing us with a lot of information about how the event happens and the after effects of such an impact. Even today scientists are still gathering information on the effects it had to the planet’s atmosphere. On Saturday, Sept. 7, we will see a planetary alignment of Saturn, Venus, Mercury, the star Spica and maybe a crescent moon. Just after the sun sets, these celestial bodies will align in the west making it hard for us in the Valley to see, but it’s definitely worth a look if you can get away from the mountains on the western horizon. Spotting this event should be rather easy though as Saturn appears very bright and larger than visible stars in the sky due to its sheer size. This is one event I won’t be missing. So until next month, these are your dark skies, through the universe. Casey James, is an astrophotographer, contributing columnist and photographer for the Kern River Courier.

‘‘Bless Me, Ultima" comes of age By Sam Struckhoff PICKS OF THE WEEK “Bless Me, Ultima” (PG-13) — In a small farming community in New Mexico, a sharp and wise healing woman comes into town and stays with a struggling family. Antonio (Luke Ganalon), a young boy whose three older brothers are fighting in World War II, forms a strong bond with the medicine woman (Miriam Colon). However, her presence stirs up fear and superstition among the locals. The movie is based on the beloved novel of the same name. The story used to be banned in some areas because of its approach to mysticism, but has endured as a beloved coming of age story, and a touchstone novel in Chicano culture. “World War Z” (PG-13) — Zombies are spreading and taking over the world. With entire countries falling to the undead, one man (Brad Pitt) has to leave his family and travel the world searching for answers about the plague while humanity still has a chance. Based on the novel by Max Brooks, the movie takes a different approach with its zombies: less gore, larger scale. Many of the movie’s most memorable moments come from the enormous swarms of (computer-generated) zombies, tearing through landscapes and piling over each other in the pursuit of people-meat. It’s not a hor-

ror movie so much as a tense, bigbudget catastrophic thriller.. “The East” (PG-13) — An enigmatic anarchist group called The East is targeting corporate big wigs guilty of polluting the planet and covering up criminal acts. Sarah Moss (Brit Marling) is a bright, confident private intelligence agent tasked with infiltrating the East and taking them down. However, once she makes contact with the group (all of them young and uncommonly attractive), she finds herself in a morally and mortally dangerous situation. Marling is somebody to watch. She co-wrote the movie, handing herself a fantastic, complicated character to portray. She’s in good company with strong performances coming from Alexander Skarsgard, Ellen Page and Patricia Clarkson. The movie is full of unanswered questions and ethical gray areas. It's not the usual spygets-in-over-her-head scenario. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Health Insurance Matters
ObamaCare for Kern County Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist Very shortly, you will be getting mail, hearing radio spots and seeing television commercials all pertaining to “Covered California,” our Thal state’s Health Insurance “Exchange” or “Marketplace.” There are actually two marketplaces, one for individuals and families and the other for small businesses from two to 50 employees. The small business marketplace is being called SHOP: Small Business Health Options Program. As you have probably read, the Affordable Care Act requires most Americans to have health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014. This law will mostly affect individuals under age 65 and families. People who are working for employers that provide health insurance with more than 50 employees or larger, or those on Medicare need not be too concerned this year. I receive many phone calls each week as the public is getting more information about the ACA and how it will affect their Medicare. First off, it will not change anything you presently have, superficially. There have been many benefits of this law which are already part of the Medicare program, having been added in 2010 and 2011. Medicare benefits have expanded and have eliminated cost sharing for many preventative services and now offer a new annual wellness benefit. In
the first half of 2013, 16.5 million people on Original Medicare (typically people not on a Medicare Advantage HMO type plan) received a no-cost preventative service. People on a Medicare Advantage HMO type plan also receive these same advantages, with no office co-pay if their plan had a co-pay for office visits. The Affordable Care Act also had an impact on the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan; it is shrinking the donut hole. Prior to the law, if you went into the “donut hole” you paid the full price of your medication until you reached the Catastrophic Level. Now 50 percent of the cost is being credited to you (as if you spent it) but it is paid by the pharmaceutical company. Each year thereafter, a greater amount is being reduced, borne by the insurance plan, and by 2020, the donut hole will be closed. Once closed, you will pay 25 percent of the cost. A misconception as many people believe a closed donut hole means their insurance will pay the entire amount. Not true. The Annual Enrollment Period is from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. This is the only time you may change plans without a special reason. As the plans will be changing their coverage, it is a prudent thing to not only check your current plan, but look at their competition. Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106) He is a member of the Society of Certified Senior Advisors and Past-President of the Kern Association of Health Underwriters. Harry is on the National Assoc. of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board. He may be reached at 760-376-2100, harrythal@aol.com or www.harrythal.com.

1. Give patient a prescription 2. Have your office obtain authorization from patient's insurance 3. Fax authorization and copy of prescription to KVHD Outpatient Admissions: 760-379-8020 4. Instruct patient to pre-register and pay co-pay at KVHD Outpatient Admissions window. Instructions for Patients: 1. Get prescription from your Health Provider 2. Once your Health Provider's office informs you that you are authorized
with your insurance; pre-register at the KVHD Outpatient Admissions window to receive your appointment. 3. Pay co-pay if applicable 4. Attend the Women of Excellence Health Expo to have your bone density scan done. 5. Results will be sent to your Health Provider approximately 2 weeks after the test. 6. For patients with NO Insurance, cash price will be $385.55 7. No walk-ins allowed at the Women's Health Expo.
If we can assist you with any questions about this program, please contact Anna Leon, KVHD Marketing Coordinator at 760.379.5257 ext. 24. Thank-you in advance for your participation with us in our endeavors to be proactive with healthcare for our community!

Super Crossword
ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Aspects favor new romances for unpaired Ewes and Rams. Alreadypaired Arian twosomes experience renewed harmony in their relationships. Money matters also take a bright turn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use that strong determination to help you keep the faith with your convictions while you move through a period of uncertainty. Things begin to ease by the week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your intuition. It could be alerting you to be more careful about accepting a “statement of fact” simply on trust. Don’t be shy about asking for more proof. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Concern for the well-being of someone in need is admirable. But don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. Ask a family member, close friend or colleague to help you. LEO (July 23 to Aug.22) It’s OK to focus on the demands of your career. But try to avoid misunderstandings by also reaching out to family and friends. Your sharp intuitive sense kicks in by midweek. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep a rein on that green-eyed monster. Jealousy is counterproductive. Instead of resenting a colleague’s good points, concentrate on developing your own abilities. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Spending time on a
creative project during this high-energy week can pay off both in emotional satisfaction and in impressing someone who is glad to see this side of you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Now is a good time to start planning that trip you’ve put off because of the demands on your time. Be sure to choose a destination that is new and exciting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) That upbeat mood in the first part of the week makes you eager to take on new ventures. A more serious note sets in later to help you assess an upcoming decision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A high energy level gives you the get-up-and-go to finish outstanding tasks before deadline, leaving time for well-earned fun and games with friends and family. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Dealing with disappointment is never easy. But the wise Aquarian will use it as a vital lesson and be the better for it. A close friend has something important to say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) Best bet is not to get involved in an argument between colleagues until you know more about who started it and why. And even then, appearances could be deceiving. Be alert. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

constraints. The TAP is sciencebased and will inform future travelmanagement decisions that move administrative units toward the minimum road system. The TAP is based on the consideration of ecological, social, and economic impacts. The TAP must be documented in a Travel Analysis Report, which will include: Information about the analysis as it relates to the criteria found in 36 CFR 212.5(b)(1), and maps displaying all system roads that differentiates between those roads which will potentially remain and those that may be removed or changed. The map will inform future proposed actions subject to National Environmental Policy Act compliance. All NFS roads are assigned a maintenance level (1-5), and roads of all maintenance levels must be included in the TAP. The TAP is intended to complement, rather than replace, other planning processes. There is no due date to propose actions as a result of the TAR and to identify the minimum road system. Future proposed actions and decisions moving administrative units toward the minimum road system are subject to NEPA compliance and available funding. The Sequoia National Forest travel analysis report must be completed this fall. If you are interested in attending a webinar on September 10th at 10 a.m. about the Sequoia National Forest TAP, subpart A please contact: Marianne Emmendorfer, District Planner 559-338-2251 ext. 313, or mmemmendorfer@fs.fed.us.
