Keepers of the Kernand Mountain & RiverAdventures' owner, JohnStallone are joiningtogether to help clean upour beautiful Isabellalake, in the first ever DamTough Trash TowFundraiser, March 7, 8and 9.

The plan is to removetrash around the entirestretch of shoreline sur-rounding Lake Isabella,over the three day peri-od. They will be remov-ing trash around LakeIsabella to raise funds forKeepers of the Kern, sothat Keepers may contin-ue their great work ofgenerating awarenessabout our trash problem,and creating and main-

taining a clean andrespected Kern RiverValley for local residentsand guests.

The fun part is thatJohn Stallone, dubbed"John LaLane", hasoffered up a challengethat cannot be ignored.Stallone will tow, bystand up paddleboard,all of the trash collectedto a pre-designated spot,and he will continue totow until the task is com-plete. All trash collectedwill be weighed at theclose of this event onSunday to see just howmuch trash wasremoved.

The Needles FireLookout Tower, locat-ed on the WesternDivide Ranger Districtwithin the GiantSequoia NationalM o n u m e n t w a sdestroyed in a struc-ture fire in July 2011. The purpose of thisproject is to rebuildthe Needles LookoutTower with a structurethat maintains thesame "look and feel"as the original struc-ture while complyingwith current buildingand safety codes.

There is a need toensure all electronicequipment meetingcurrent technologyand communicationsfor agency personnel.There is also a need torestore the lookout asthe popular recreationdestination it used tobe.

The Needles are aseries of massivegranite rock forma-tions rising up fromthe North Fork of theKern River near itsjunction with the LittleKern River.

The lookout towerwas constructed in1937-38 by the CivilianConservation Corpsatop the rock forma-tion at 8,245 feet. AForest Serviceemployee, stationed inthe tower, was respon-sible for detecting andrelaying fire messagesto firefighters andsupport equipment toextinguish the report-ed fire.

A draft Decisionproposal is availablefor review at theWestern DivideDistrict Office, 32588Highway 190,Springville, Californiaor on our websitefs.usda.gov/goto/sequoia/Needles.

paddle boarding hasPolynesian roots, it wasre-popularized in theearly 2000's by Hawaiianbig wave surfers whowanted to train whenev-er the swell was down.The sport has grownrapidly. Even people inlandlocked states nowpaddle on lakes andrivers.

The group is lookingfor sponsorships andvolunteers. Sponsors candonate a minimum of $20or sponsor the numberof bags collected duringthe event, at $1 or moreper bag. It is a great wayto make a difference inthe Kern Valley.

Volunteers will helpon the ground with thephysical clean up. Trasheradication volunteerswill be responsible for

Southern California, thesecond will not. It is pos-sible that Downtown LosAngeles receives at leasthalf of the rain that fell inall of 2013 (3.60 inches)from this one stormthrough the weekend.

Several inches of raincould soak the northernCalifornia coast, whilefeet of snow may blanketthe Sierra. Snow levelscould drop low enoughto whiten the mountainsof Southern California.

More details and pre-cise rain/mountainsnowfall amounts willbecome clearer in theupcoming days.

The upcoming rainand mountain snow willdefinitely be welcome toour state enduring anextreme to exceptionaldrought.

C a l i f o r n i a ' sDepartment of WaterResources states that the

amount of water storedin the snowpack acrossthe Sierra was only 25percent of normal onFriday.

While many residentsare likely rejoicing at thenews of the returningwet weather, some haz-ards will also accompanythe storms.

Enough rain could fallto trigger flash floodingand mudslides in areasrecently burned by wild-fires.

All funds raised duringthe event will go directlyto Keepers of the Kern tohelp them continue theirgreat work. For example,depending on our suc-cess, Keepers intends toprovide more port-a-pot-ties, trash receptacles andsignage near recreationareas for all residents andguests to utilize.

which tells about a fellow who mar-ried a relative and after about 10verses finds out he’s his owngrandpa. We (the youngsters) sangthat song and drove our folks crazy.

Then there was “Three Itty Fishesin a Itty Bitty Brook... who swamand swam right over the dam.”When this came out, there was awhole country singing about andfeeling sorry for those itty fishes.

There were lots of weird songsthat captured the imagination of weyoung music lovers.

Here’s a fewmore whichexplain themselvesin the titles. “BellBottom TrousersCoat of NavyBlue.” “AbbaDabba Dabba saidthe Monkey to theChimp,” “Open the

Door Richard, Open the Door andlet me in,” “I’m just a Lonely LittlePetunia in an Onion Patch,” “I’vegot a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts,See them Standing in a Row,”“Feuding, Fussing and a Fighting”and “I Never see Maggie Alone.”

All these song titles were frommusic that were No. 1 on the HitParade. So when we older folkshear some of the modern junk andget uptight, don’t worry. In a fewyears there will be different musicon the airwaves and a new genera-tion of kids with their own dumbsongs!

I’ve noticedthat we of theolder ilk are oftenturned off by thecurrent music ofthe younger set.We find thewords hard to fol-low, the lyricscrazy and the music too loud. Thatsaid, if we were to go back a fewyears to the timewhen we hadsongs we sang,we would findours were just ascrazy.

Let me give youa few examples ofwhat I listened toin my youngeryears. Here are some of the titlesand a little explanation for a few ofthem.

There was, “Marzy Doats andDozy Doats and Liddle LambsEdivy” ....the explanation comes inthe next verse... : “Mares eat oatsand does eat oats and little lambseat ivy.”

We all sang it and it was playedall over the nation. But it wasdumb.

How about “Cement Mixer PuttyPutty?” The rest of the song isabout a cement mixer that helpedboys and girls fall in love. This, too,was played all over the world andwe sang along with it and didn’tthink it was odd at all. A popularsong was “I’m My Own Grandpa”

Kern Valley traffic statisticsBenjamin Starkey, California Highway Patrol

Traffic Collisions - 12DUI Arrests - 11DUI Collisions - 4Suspended/Unlicensed Drivers Arrested - 27

Safety Tip:Most highways and roads in the Kern River Valley leave us with very littleroom for error while we are driving. We must always be alert and attentiveto our surroundings. A common violation that law enforcement has noticedfor some time is vehicles following too closely behind other vehicles. Thispractice is used often as we travel in, around and through the Kern RiverValley. Only a small portion of the roads and highways have more than onelane in any given direction. We follow too close, shine our high beams andsometimes honk our horns to alert the other drivers that we are behind themand we would like to pass them. Following too close behind other vehicles isextremely dangerous. With less distance between us and the other vehiclesour chances of avoiding a collision are diminished greatly. We have to allowenough space between ourselves and other vehicles to be able to react to anysituation (i.e. traffic collisions, objects/animals in the roadway, etc.). Pleaseremain cautious while driving and always be focused on the road ahead ofyou. Following these simple steps will help all of us to be safer drivers.

Then you shalltake fine flour andbake twelve cakes

with it; two-tenths ofan ephah shall be in

each cake.- Leviticus 24:5

The first nineverses of the 24thchapter of Leviticuscould easily be overlooked even by themost ardent and astute student of theScriptures. Call to mind the NewTestament injunction that “AllScripture is inspired by God and isprofitable for teaching, for reproof, forcorrection, for training in righteous-ness;” and let’s peer into this passagefor Holy Spirit enlightenment. (2 Tim3:16)

In the first nine verses of Leviticus24, there is a call for olive oil, flour andfrankincense to be carefully laid out ona table of gold. Perhaps interesting inand of itself, but what makes theseverses all the more remarkable are theadjectives placed in front of each ofthese items. The olive oil is describedas needing to be “clear,” the flour ofnecessity must be “fine,” the frankin-cense had to be “pure,” and the goldon the table is also described as“pure.” Four descriptive words linkedto what was necessary for the wor-shipper in their offering to the Lord,and all four set these items as a cutabove what was ordinary.

While you and I may not be called

to gather these items in order to carryout our heart’s expression of love anddevotion to our Heavenly Father, wecan draw powerful truths from whatwas given to Moses in Divine instruc-tion on Mount Sinai. ■ Attention to detail -- obedience.Leviticus is far more than a recitationin an anal-retentive approach to wor-ship just for the sake of seeing if any-one would care enough to not do whatwas laid out. As the Father’s heartwould ultimately be expressed in send-ing His Son Jesus to be the Savior ofthe world, he prepared humanity forthis gift of love by foreshadowing whattrue worship would look like.■ Process -- transformational. Theclue here is what makes the difference?Olive oil as opposed to clear olive oillies in the process by which the oliveoil is refined. Similarly, flour asopposed to fine flour has much to dowith sifting out impurities. Pure frank-incense as compared to a lesser varietyis determined by the purity of theingredients blended together. Puregold is made so by the application ofgreater heat, and more attention givento removing impurities. Should wegive place to condemnation at thispoint and an overwhelming sense thatwe will never measure up to such callsfor perfection? Absolutely not!

Yet a deep hunger for the circum-stances of life to work this process ofholiness can bring us to ever increas-ing places where the life and love ofJesus can shine brighter in us.

Forest dumpsters not for household dumpingThe Sequoia National Forest spends tens of thousands of dollars annually

to dispose of trash left in Forest Service campgrounds. This taxpayer moneyis purposed to keep campgrounds and recreation sites clean, allowing visi-tors to dispose of trash produced while recreating. These funds are notmeant to subsidize trash-dumping of households that choose not to disposeof their trash properly nor for contractors that try to save money by not dis-posing of post-job refuse in the proper manner. Despite the simplicity of thispolicy, cases of household and industrial trash being repeatedly left at recre-ation site dumpsters are increasing. Forest Service Law Enforcement hasalready issued tickets to several individuals who have been caught repeated-ly transporting and depositing their household trash into Forest Servicedumpsters.

Dumping of any refuse, debris, trash or litter brought as such from privateproperty is a violation of 36 Code of Federal Regulations 261.11(e). Lawenforcement will continue to enforce this policy, and violators will be fined$325 each time caught.

SophieNelisse in“The BookThief”


By Sam Struckhoff

Pick of the Week“The Book Thief” (PG-13) —

During World War II, a youngGerman girl, Liesel (Sophie Nelisse)moves in with her new foster par-ents. Liesel’s new home is a strangeplace for a kid to learn about theworld: The city is wracked by war,piles of books burn in the street,and her foster parents are hiding ayoung Jewish man under the stairs.Liesel begins “collecting” bookswherever she can get her hands onthem. Through reading and writ-ing, she's able to make some kindof sense out of the world aroundher.

Based on the wildly successfulyoung adult novel of the same title,the film tries to bring this dreamy,glossy, coming-of-age feel to theproceedings. There’s somethingwhimsical trying to work its waythrough the charred setting, but it’snot getting through. It’s the per-formances that carry the film, espe-cially the foster parents, (GeoffreyRush and Emily Watson), who are

complicated-but-caring people.“Inside Llewyn Davis” (R) —

It’s 1961, and New York’sGreenwich Village is the cradle of adeep and expanding folk musicscene. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) isa soulful young musician who justcannot get ahead. He’s melancholy,broke, bearded, locked-out andtechnically homeless. He knows hemight never achieve success in hisartistic career. All of this happenswith a sort of dark, dry humoraround it. The movie is no barrel oflaughs, but there are moments ofsincere truth, which is a necessaryingredient for a real comedy.

How to sell a home in defaultTalking About Real Estate

Matt FreemanCourier Columnist

This, unfortu-nately, is a situa-tion that moreand moreAmericans arefinding them-selves in. Therereally are severalreason - fraudu-lent loan officers, buyers whoconstantly re-financed to get asmuch money out of their home asthey could,adjustable-ratemortgages.Whatever thereasoning forbeing in defaulton your mort-gage payments,there is a way out that can saveyour credit.

Consider doing a short-sale.The last time Real Estate agentswere really familiar with short-sales was back in the early ’90s,which was the last time that therewas a big turndown of RealEstate Prices. A short-sale iswhen a seller who is in defaultasks their lender to take less thanwhat is owed on the home inorder to sell the home before itgoes to the auction.

If you are a seller in this situa-tion and are interested in sellingyour house and saving your cred-it, there are a couple of things to

remember. First, time is of the essence

concerning your bank. You onlyhave so much time before yourhome goes on the auction block.Find a Real Estate agent who isfamiliar with short sales and getthem to negotiate with yourlender as soon as possible. Youwill have to complete an applica-tion and provide valid reason formissing your payments and writ-ten permission for your RealEstate agent to access youraccount.

Remember,price the listing tosell! If you aremissing the pay-ments but stillprice the listing tomake a mega prof-it that is the same

thing as letting the home go toauction, you are wasting every-one’s time including your own.Price the listing below marketvalue. If you owe $200K, price it at$175K and advertise it as a short-sale foreclosure. That brings a lotof people in because the percep-tion is that there of a good deal.Then upon receipt of an offer, evena low offer, let your Real Estateagent and your bank slug it out.More often than not, the bank willcome to terms that are agreeable.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Take time from yourbusy schedule to check out what’s going on aroundyou. You might find that someone has been secretlytrying to pull the wool over your eyes.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 to May 20) Once again, yourboldness pays off in uncovering the source of a dis-turbing workplace situation. Your personal life callsfor patience, as a certain matter plays itself out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Forget about goingall out to impress someone in your personal life. Justbeing yourself is all that matters. A workplace deci-sion will need more time. Don’t rush into it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Some supersensi-tive people might take offense at what they perceiveas a slight. But a closer look points to a simple mis-understanding. The weekend holds a welcome sur-prise.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Sure, you can roar yourhead off over someone’s failure to keep a promise.But the wiser course would be to ask why it hap-pened. Be prepared for an answer that might wellsurprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.22) A developing rela-tionship needs time to find its direction. So please bepatient and resist pushing things along. A recent

cooled-down situation could heat up again.LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Congratulations. Your

well-thought-out proposal seems to be working.Someone who hasn’t agreed with you on mostthings in the past could turn out to be one of yourmajor supporters.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Things seem to begoing well. However, you can still expect criticism --some of it pretty heavy. But as long as you can backup your position, and rise above it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Gettingtogether with people who care for you is a great wayto get that ego boost you might feel you need at thistime. Things start to look brighter by week’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You should beable to continue with your plans once you get pastthose temporary delays. Surprise, surprise. An offerto help comes from a most unlikely source.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Prioritizing yourtasks is important this week because of all thosedemands you have to deal with. The pressure easesin time for you to enjoy the weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) Save your energyand stay focused on what has to be done, despite allthose distractions you’re likely to face. You shouldsee some evidence of real progress by week’s end. 1.Lou Gehrig, in 1927.2.Twice -- 1987 (Boston) and 1997 (Toronto).

3.Penn State, with six victories.4.Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, WiltChamberlain, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Bill Russell.5.Chicago (twice), Boston, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh.6.Dwayne De Rosario scored a goal in 11 seconds in 2003.Answers:
