Fire is one of the biggest dan-gers here in the Kern River Valley– maybe even the biggest.

As the annual 4th of July cele-bration takes place, there is a lotof concern that visitors may bringtheir own fireworks with them(which may be perfectly legal inthe areas in which they live, butare illegal to possess here) andmay touch off what might turn

into a major conflagration.Last weekend there were two

major wildland fires just upriverfrom the Kern River Valley, andthis past week there was a majorfire in a housing area in Mt. Mesa.

In Fairview, home of McNally’sSteakhouse, a fire started on thewest side of the river on Saturday,June 27. (The McNally Fire of2002, which was named after the

The Kern River Courier has been hearingconcerned rumblings from the communityever since the rumors began circulating lastweek.

This week, a letter to the Senior Centerfrom Parks Department Director RobertLerude was reproduced in Senior Hi-Lites, apublication distributed weekly in the valley.

In the undated letter, Lerude said thateffective Aug. 1, “...due to budget constraints,the Parks and Recreation Department will beadjusting the current operating hours to

Frequent Kernville visitor and veteran‘Blondie’ writer releases Old West book

Weekend of4th will be avisitor’s delight

Mike DevichKern River Courier

Paul Pumpian of Sunland is alongtime screenwriter and contrib-utor to the “Blondie” comic strip. Infact, he is the one who managed tosneak the name “Lake Isabella” intoa Blondie Sunday strip a few yearsago, which attracted local attention.

Now Pumpian can add bookauthor to his resume. He hasreleased a novel about the West in1915 called “Compadres: A CowboyStory.”

The book follows the story of twoclose friends as they grow up on aranch, become cowboys, and go offtogether to find fame and fortune.Along the way they find both, andlose both. They meet Pancho Villaand even serve in his army.

Punctuated with real historyinterwoven throughout the fictionaltale, Pumpian describes the pair’ssometimes bawdy (in fact, ribald)adventures as they move from onetight spot to another.

When asked why he decided towrite a book, Pumpian said, “One

day in a Western antique shop I sawa poster from 1915. I took it homeand as I began studying it, I let thecreative process take over.”

Pumpian isquite involvedwith horses,and thatk n o w l e d g eshows throughin his book.

But writingit was a newexperience forhim.

“It took meforever towrite thisbook becausemy commit-ment to‘Blondie’ wasvery time con-

suming,” he said. “I held that job for23 years and in that time I submit-ted over 41,000 daily strips and4,100 Sunday pages.”

Pumpian has a fond relationship

The 4th of July is tomorrow andall over the United States we willbe celebrating Independence Day.In doing so willeat lots of hotdogs.

I did someinvestigatingand came upwith some statis-tics and informa-tion. When I'mthrough you'llhave a little moreappreciation forthat little 6-inch lunch and dinnerthat millions love to picnic with.

Here's what the Institute of HotDog Consumption says: In 2008we (the U.S.) Spent $4.1 billion insupermarkets for hot dogs andbought 1.5 billion pounds of them.On Independence Day alone,Americans will consume 150 mil-lion wieners, If laid end to end theywould stretch from WashingtonD.C. to Los Angeles. (I'm not surewho would want the job to do this,but it makes good copy).

During Hot Dog season(Memorial Day to Labor Day,)Americans will eat 7 billion tubesteaks. That’s 818 dogs consumedevery second during that period. Itis said that the chewing andchomping can be heard miles intoouter space.

Along with the informationfrom the Institute came some

words about wiener etiquette.Here's some do's and don'ts.Always eat the dogs with yourhands. Utensils should not touchthe dog or the bun. Dress thewiener and not the bun. After theage of 18 do not use ketchup onthe dog. Condiments that end upon your finger should be licked offand not washed off. Always usepaper plates to serve hot dogs.Glass dishes and china are a nono. Don't take more than five bitesto finish a weiner and bun,although on a 7-inch hot dog,seven bites may be taken. Papernapkins are the accepted methodof cleaning your face. Cloth is dis-couraged and not in keeping withthe casualness of wiener eating.

What the Institute doesn't tellyou is what is in them. So I lookedon the label of a major brand andread the ingredients. Pork, Beef,Separated Turkey , Water, Salt,Corn Syrup and Flavors, Dextrose,Potassium, Lactate, SodiumPhosphate, Sodium Erythrobateand Diacitate, Oleo Resin ofPaprika and Sodium Nitrates.

So as you eat your 4th of Julyhot dogs keep the above in mindand the Tums handy.

Happy Fourth!

Saturday, July 4 is a freefishing day in the state ofCalifornia. No license is need-ed, but all Department of Fish& Game rules and regulationsmust be followed. With the fishbiting so strongly alongIsabella Lake, this is a greatopportunity for the occasionalfisherman to get in on some ofthe hot action.

Early morning and lateevenings are the best times fordoing some catching. Catfishare still coming in strong onshad and hot dogs under thestars.

Crappie fishermen are jig-ging in some pretty good sizedblack crappie at sunrise.Joughin Cove, Camp Nine andcoves between French Gulchand the North Fork are stillgetting a lot of good action.

A good number of those tro-phy trout that were planted inthe lake last week are makingtheir way to the cooler watersof the Kern River. Needless tosay, they have to make theirway past the old cemeterywhere trout fishermen are

lying in wait. Dean Ott caughta beauty, just under 4 pounds.

Time to get in on some of thegreat action, so let’s go fishing.

Previews of new DVDsBy DNA Smith

PICKS OF THE WEEK"For All Mankind -- Criterion

Collection" -- The landmark,Academy-Award nominated 1989documentary on the 24 men whowalked on the moon is finally gettingthe Criterion treatment. Beautifullyrestored and inhigh-definition,"For AllMankind" fea-tures some ofthe most stun-ning visualsfrom spaceyou'll ever see.

"GreyGardens" -- Ihave to admit,when I heard that Drew Barrymorewas going to star in an HBO moviebased on the classic documentary"Grey Gardens," it pegged the nee-dle on my Skeptical Meter. Really?Drew "Charlie's Angels" Barrymoreas Little Edie? But then I watchedthis docudrama about the lives of thereclusive and eccentric aunt andcousin of Jackie Kennedy and wasblown away. The performances byBarrymore, Jessica Lange as BigEdie and Jeanne Triplehorn as JackieKennedy are stellar. "Grey Gardens"

not only does an amazing job of re-creating scenes from the MayslesBrothers documentary, it also givesan insight into the sad, glamorousand tragic story of a mother and herdaughter and their lifelong relation-ship.

"The State: The Complete Series" -- MTV's groundbreaking, cult

sketch-comedy showfrom the 1990s is now,after years of legal wran-gling over music licens-ing, finally out on DVD. Inever thought I'd see theday when I could trashmy worn-out VHS tapes.

Jim Beilstein, pastorShepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church,Lake Isabella

I was driving homefrom work, in the rain, ona four-lane interstatehighway outsideHouston, Texas when Icame upon a surrealscene and immediatelyslammed on my brakes.Fortunately I was able tostop and the car behindme was able to stop butthe car behind him didnot. Suddenly, I was involved in a 35-carpile up.

The surreal scene was a picture of inter-twined cars on the roadway, damaged carsspun around in the median and totaledcars along the side of the road. Manypeople were injured. Emergency personnelquickly arrived. My car was not badlydamaged and as the highway patrol rout-ed me around the wreckage I saw peoplewho were limp and bloody being taken outof their vehicles.

I cannot remember for sure but I believethe accident occurred on the three-dayweekend of July 4th. I am sure many ofthe drivers and passengers had excitingplans for the weekend but now those planswere changed. Many lives were altered inan instant and the tomorrows for thoseinvolved might never be what were envi-sioned just a few seconds before the acci-dent.

Most of the people involved in the acci-dent probably knew that a Friday eveningin the rain at the start of a three-dayweekend was one of the most dangeroustimes to be on the highway. Yet becauseof the freedom we enjoy in this countrythe government normally does not forceus to stay home or to travel at a safertime.

As we exercise our freedom, many of usrely on God to protect us as He did meduring this accident. This relying on Godwe might call faith, faith in Jesus Christthat he will give us a more fulfilled life onthis earth. I believe part of that more ful-filled life for us as Americans is the free-dom we enjoy. As we know, this freedomis always under attack by those whowould like to destroy us.

So I ask you to pray with me during thismonth of July as we celebrate our freedomthat God will keep our country safe andstrong as He promises in the Bible.

"…if my people who are called by myname humble themselves, and pray andseek my face and turn from their wickedways, then I will hear from heaven andwill forgive their sin and heal their land."(2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV)

I also pray that the Lord keeps you safeas you may travel during this July 4thweekend.

A story for childrenVia InternetSpecial to the Courier

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they willbe called sons of God. [Matthew 5:9]

The war had been going on for centuries.The war between the Eagles and the Bears.Nobody in the forest knew what started thewar. But everyone knew how often Bearswere injured terribly or killed by dive bomb-ing Eagles or just as often Eagles were killedin large numbers by sudden attacks by Bearsor as they dove and the Bears swatted themfrom the sky. .

Nevertheless, rumor had been in the airfor a long time of a war to end all wars. Afinal battle was coming that would pit everyBear in the woods against every Eagle and afinal victor will emerge. But nobody knewwhen that day would come.

But that day did come, before anyone wasprepared for it. It came about whenBartholomew Bear was playing in the woodsby himself. He wasn’t supposed to do thatbut sometimes children forget the warningsof their parents because they want so muchto explore and learn. He was chasing a but-terfly, laughing and leaping at it from a log toa stump to a rock and then to the ground.

Suddenly he felt a shooting pain in hisfoot. He cried out before he even know whathappened but he heard the SNAP of that trapclosed on his foot and he knew he was in bigtrouble. He must have cried for hours wish-ing his Mommy or Daddy would come. Littledid he know they were preparing for thefinal battle, the war to end all wars with theEagles.

Paul G. Donohue, M.D.Kern River Courier SyndicatedColumnist

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Youmentioned a solution to pre-vent swimmer's ear. How doyou apply it? -- J.R.

ANSWER: The mixture is madewith equal parts white vinegarand rubbing alcohol. The alcoholkeeps the ear dry. The vinegarprevents proliferation of harmfulbacteria. One or two drops areinstilled in the ear with a dropperand allowed to stay in place for

half a minute to a minute. Thehead is then tilted toward theshoulder to empty the ear canal.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I

have been diagnosed withcongestive heart failure.Three months after the diag-nosis, I began to becomefatigued after slight exertion,and was short of breath. I'vehad to have a pacemakerimplanted. I was told I proba-bly have amyloidosis, thesenile form. Is there any hopeof my living a near-normallife? -- L.M.

ANSWER: Amyloid is a proteinproduced by bone marrow cells. Itcan infiltrate a number of bodyorgans. Many forms (20) of amy-loidosis exist, and they all havedistinctive longevity projections.Senile amyloidosis does not affectas many organs as do the otherforms of this illness, so that is onething in your favor. In this illness,when the amount of amyloid inthe heart is great, the heart's

pumping action falters, and con-gestive heart failure is a conse-quence. Amyloid deposits ofteninterfere with the generation andtransmission of the electric sig-nals that regulate heartbeats, so apacemaker can be needed.

I can't give you a predictionabout the length of life. Of course,your life span is bound to beaffected, but how greatly, no onecan tell with certainty.

Lifestyle, physical activity anddiet can all be important in limit-ing how serious congestive heartfailure can become. To learn more,order the congestive heart failurebooklet by writing to: Dr.Donohue -- No. 103W, Box536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.Enclose a check or money order(no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canadawith the recipient's printed nameand address.

Solution for ‘swimmer’s ear’ is to apply vinegar, alcohol

Harry P. ThalKern River Courier Columnist

Richard is turning 65 and his wife isa year younger. He is tired and readyfor retirement. He has an excellenthealth plan at work, and due to somemedical problems, he has decided to goon his company's COBRA plan, andput off joining Medicare until hisCOBRA expires. His wife, being only64, plans to use her COBRA benefit aswell.

If Richard were to follow this path,he will learn in 18 months that COBRAis not permitted after age 65 ifMedicare is available. Once theCOBRA benefits expired, Richardwould learn that not only was he notsupposed to do this, he will not be eligi-ble to enroll in Medicare until the fol-lowing January to March, andMedicare coverage wouldn't start untilthe following July 1. On top of his not

having coverage, he will pay a penaltyfor enrolling late. This penalty will beadded to the Medicare monthly cost forthe remainder of his lifetime. Richardalso must waituntil November15 to sign up fora prescriptiondrug plan, and bepenalized for lateenrollment onthis plan as well.Bottom line,COBRA may notbe used in lieu ofMedicare.

John is turning65 and plans to work for a bit longer.He needs to call Social Security andenroll in Medicare Part A. This is theHospital benefit. For most people thisbenefit is free, and his group insuranceplan assumes he has this benefit. Incase of a claim, the group plan will pay

benefits AFTER Medicare, whether hehas signed up or not. If John works fora small employer, with less than 20employees, he also must sign up forMedicare Part B. He will be charged$96.40 per month for this benefit if hisincome is less that $85,000. If he earnsmore, and is single, he will pay agreater amount, based on income.($170,000 for a married couple). If he isin a small group, Medicare will be theprimary insurance and pay first, if alarge group, than the employer planpays first, and Medicare probablywon't pay at all.

Sarah is 67 and finally decided toretire. She has Medicare part A. Shemust call Social Security and enroll inPart B within 60 days of termination ofthe group plan. Once enrolled in PartB, she will be allowed to purchase aMedicare supplement on a "guaranteedissue" basis and won't have to answermedical questions. She will also be

allowed to enter Medicare Part D pre-scription under a "special enrollmentperiod," and not have to wait untilNovember 15 to enroll.

As you can see, there are rules thatneed to be followed. Failure to followthem can lead to very expensive prob-lems, especially if you get sick orinjured and are caught without healthinsurance. The best advice is to call aqualified health agent who specializesin Medicare prior to retirement, so allyour "ducks are in a row" before youget the gold wrist watch.

There is an old saying thatgoes like this – the only thingthat doesnot changeis the factthat therewill alwaysbe change.

Realestate is thesame way.Recently theHousepassed newand sweep-ing climatechange legislation. While it stillhas a long way to go to getthrough the Senate before thePresident signs it, most likely itor something similar to it willeventually be passed by theCongress and enacted into law.

In this Clean Air and Energylegislation are sweeping newrules for the construction ofnew homes. As of the last timeI checked, the legislation cur-rently requires all new homesto be 35% more efficient thancurrent new construction.Current codes already requirea very efficient structure to bebuilt. Fluorescent lights, lowflow toilets and sinks,advanced dual-pane windows,2X6 walls throughout,advanced R-Factor insulationthroughout, boxed in eaves,etc... the list goes on. A house

built now is approx 100% moreefficient than a home built 50years ago.

The fact is, that is good. Ican't complain. However, hereis the rub. Current generationbuilding materials are at theirpeak in terms of efficiency. Tomake homes 35% more effi-cient than current new housingis gonna require more than justsome tweaking. We need newtechnology to do it.

While I never doubt thedrive of American industry andthe ingenuity of the folks inthis country, new tech usuallymeans one thing – more cost.So if this law is enacted, expectnewer homes to cost more,even though prices are comingdown currently and have beenfor the last two years. How isthat gonna work? I am notsure.

Expect a huge demand forolder housing, though, becausenew housing will be out thereand available, and it will bereally nice and good on theutility bill, but it will be pricey.Used housing will be the wayto go, unless the governmentmakes these improvementsretroactive. There is talk of thatas well...

Stay tuned.

Collecting

Light fixture may be worth $$$Larry CoxCourier Syndicated Columnist

Q: I have an alabaster hang-ing light fixture and would liketo find someone who can adviseme about its value. -- Irene,Lombard, Ill.

A: Period light fixtures havebecome extremely collectible inrecent years due in no small part tothe current trend to renovate andrestore older houses. The companiesof both Tiffany and Handel becamefamous for their beautiful bases andleaded shades. Decorators and col-lectors rediscovered the beauty ofmany of these lamps and fixturesduring the last three decades of thepast century, and this increasedinterest pushed prices upward.

A table lamp with a wisteriashade signed by "A. Hart" that waspurchased in 1980 for $300 recentlysold at auction for more than$25,000. Many of the classic hangingshades from the 1920s and '30s cur-rently retail in the $350 to $850range, depending on condition,design and desirability. Not all olderfixtures are desirable.

To find out if you have a true col-lector's item, it is necessary to con-tact an expert or established dealerin your area. Reflection Antiques isone of the better shops in theChicago area. The contact informa-tion is 2428 North Ashland Ave.,Chicago, IL 60614; and 773-871-7078.

***Q: I have a piece of pottery

that is marked "H.F. Coors." Isthis from the same companythat brews Coors beer and islocated in Golden, Colo.? --Bethany, West Lafayette, Ind.

A: Since I was not familiar withH.F. Coors, I consulted one of myfavorite reference books, "U.S.Marks on Pottery, Porcelain & Clay"by Lois Lehner (Collector Books,$24.95). According to Lehner, H.F.Coors was founded in 1925 inInglewood, Calif., by Mr. and Mrs.Herman F. Coors, and is in no wayconnected with the Coors inColorado. H.F. Coors produced avariety of items including doll heads,soap dishes and a line of hotel chinacalled "Alox."

***Q: I have a copy of the

Saturday Evening Post fromSept. 12, 1964, with a cover fea-turing Malcolm X. Is it valu-able? -- Stanley, Weatherford,Texas

A: Your magazine is worthabout $10.

Right-lateral transverse faultRon BolyardKern River Courier Columnist

The RIGHT-LATERAL TRANS-VERSE FAULT is shown in thediagram.

The attrib-utes of thistype of faultare:

• A Faulton which thedisplacementis Right-LateralSeparation asseen in the plan view of the fault.

• The displacement is meas-ured by the separation of com-mon stratigraphic beds, B, acrossthe fault.

• The test of the fault is: If youwalk up to the fault on a recog-

nizable stratigraphic bed and seethe SAME stratigraphic bed tothe RIGHT, then you have aRight-Lateral Fault!

The causative factor is:• Horizontal stresses in the

rocks that cause vertical fractur-ing to occur and slippage alongthe horizontal.

Synonyms:• Dextral Fault; Right-Lateral

Strike Slip Fault; Right-slip Fault.Global Example:• The San Andreas Fault of

California; The Denali Fault ofAlaska.

Until Next Week …

Ron Bolyard is a retired geolo-gist and has developed an “acuteinterest” in the geology of thesouthern Sierra Nevada since hemoved here in 1999.

Ron Bolyard

steakhouse, was the largest wild-fire in the history of the 1.2-mil-lion acre Sequoia National Forest,but the name is a misnomer. Itactually started at another resortnearby – Roads End – which was lost in thefire.)

The Fairview Fire was reportedthe evening of June 27, and fire-fighters had to cross the river onrafts to get to it. Eventually sixhandcrews, seven engines, onepatrol, one air attack, three airtankers, three helicopters, andover 200 firefighters batlled theblaze. It was estimated to be 120acres in size at that time.

The Forest Service’s Kern RiverDistrict Ranger Rick Larson com-mented, "The fire is burning inpreviously burned brush withinthe McNally Fire perimeter. Therecould have been a different out-come had there not been reducedfuels."

The fire was deemed to behuman caused by the ForestService and is presently underinvestigation. It was declared100% contained on Monday, June29, at 4:10 p.m.

Another wildland fire, theShotgun Fire, was located in theGolden Trout Wilderness whereShotgun Creek flows into theLittle Kern River. By last weekendit had grown to 231 acres.

That fire was started by light-ning earlier this month and isbeing allowed to burn.

“The Shotgun Fire is locatednear the old Cooney Fire from2003. Like the Cooney Fire, theShotgun Fire is being managedfor resource benefit,” saidIncident Commander Paul Gibbs.

“This fire will help restore thenatural ecological processes andreduce future suppression costs,”added Gibbs.

The fire in Mt. Mesa claimedone home, with six others receiv-ing damage and four more havingtheir fences singed.

That one started on Tuesday,June 30 at about 1:42 p.m., whenthe call was received by the KernCounty Fire Department for astructure fire in the 4500 block ofJuniper Lane in Mt Mesa.

That one drew about 100 fire-fighters to the incident, from KernCounty Fire Department, USForest Service and Bureau ofLand Management, due to highwinds and flying embers.

Complicating matters was a350-gallon propane tank in therear yard of the house that waslost, at 4509 Juniper Lane. Thetank was venting the stored gas.

The fire was under control by3:10 p.m.

Fire crews were able to save anestimated $1,900,000 of propertyand equipment. However, the dol-lar loss was around $465,000.There were no reported injuries.

The cause of the fire is stillunder investigation.

Red Cross was informed andwill be helping the displaced fam-ily of two adults and one child.

The Kern River Valley CitizenEmergency Response Team(CERT) responded to providerehab to the firefighters on scene.

The Kern County FireDepartment would like to remindresidents of the importance ofhazard reduction and creating adefensible space to help protectyour home.

Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to5 p.m.”

Lerude then recommended thatgroups move their meetings toother county buildings, localchurches, schools or libraries.

The groups in the valley thathave been holding regular eveningmeetings at the Senior Center,according to a list obtained by theCourier, include the Kern RiverValley Art Association, the KVRovers, the Dam Dancers, SweetAdelines, Kern River ValleyHistorical Society, the SeniorDance, American Legion, Dam

Dancers, AA and more. For manyof these groups, the new hourswould cause major disappoin-ment.

What the new hours would doto Town Hall-type meetings typi-cally held at the center starting at6 or 7 p.m., or the impact on whenthe Senior Center is declared aCooling Center, has not yet beenaddressed.

Apparently the Senior NutritionProgram would not be affected.

The Courier will continue tobring our readers news on thisfront as it is announced.

with the valley, especially Kernville. “In 1976 I was on the writing staff

of ‘The Tony Orlando Show.’ Wehad a great group, and when threeof the guys planned a fishing trip toKernville they asked me to comealong.

“We stayed at what was then theLazy River Lodge and I immediatelyfelt at home in both the lodge andthe town.

“I made several other trips therewith the guys and when I beganwork on the book I began goingalone, always in April andNovember when there was less traf-fic. My wife is very supportive andnever objected to those trips.

“My routine was always thesame. I'd make the three-hour driveon Tuesday, stay at cabin 27 in whatis now Falling Waters and remainuntil Friday. I'd fish during the dayand work on my book at night--sometimes until 3 in the morning.Some days I wouldn't even wear awatch.”

He always ate breakfast atCheryl’s Diner in Kernville. “Theymade me feel like a member of thefamily. The Kern River Valley is veryspecial to me.”

Recipes for Dummies by Bodfish Bob

California JoeKern River Courier Columnist

One thing I’m not short on isold cookbooks. I’ve got a bunch ofthem laying around here.

Wow, here’s some old punchrecipes. In those days of yore, inorder to make a good punch youhad to give itsome “punch.”Basically youused the fol-lowing ingre-dients:

A littlewater to makeit weak,

A little sugarto make itsweet,

A little lemon to make it sour,A little whiskey to give it power.Jeff Davis, when he was presi-

dent of the Confederate States ofAmerica, served this punch beforesupplies ran short:

1/2 pint lemon juice3-1/2 lbs sugar dissolved in

water12 bottles claret12 bottles sherry1/2 bottle brandy1/4 bottle rumNow that’s a punch! This booze was served at all

receptions. It included three quartbottles of ginger ale. His veryfavorite, however, was his formulafor Cape Fear Punch:

6 T sugar1 pt. lemon juice

1 qt. strong green tea4 qts straight rye or bourbon

whiskey1 qt West Indian rum1 qt French brandyLet it stand for 30-90 days, the

longer the better. When ready toserve, add two bottles of sparklingwater, two bottles of champagne,and two sliced oranges. Serve in alarge punch bowl with one largelump of ice.

In North Carolina, the followingpunch recipe was a favorite in thestate capital:

1 cup brandysugar to taste1 qt bourbon1 quart sauterne wine1 large bottle of sparkling

waterBefore the Civil War when the

cotton buyers from England andFrance came to Charleston, theCharleston Light Dragoons Punchwas quite famous:

4 cups granulated sugarjuice of 2 dz lemons4 qts black tea4 qts California brandy1qt Jamaican rum1 cup peach brandysliced lemons1 qt carbonated waterMyself, I’ve become a drinker of

good Scotch whiskey in me oldage.

Summer camps are a delight tochildren, and I’ve been fortunateenough to be a part of one thisyear. SouthFork MiddleSchool in con-junction withOwens ValleyCareerDevelopmentCenter hassponsored acamp for chil-dren betweenthe ages of 4to 17 years of age.

When asked to facilitate severalprojects for the kids, I wasinformed that the children haveseveral choices for activities,including swimming lessons, andthat there was no idea of howmany would be in and out duringthe projects.

Let me just say that our youthhungers for art-related projects.Our art/craft tables were full andthe second project overflowed intoanother area.

Some kids who are stymied withwhat to make just need the simplequestion of “what do you like?”with minimal suggestion, whichdid the trick and launched themright into action.

Instruction for the most part wasnot necessary; they just used theirimaginations and their own ideacame to form. Clay was our medi-um. Some worked on one projectthe entire time; others became pro-

duction artists. A thirst for artisticendeavors drew them out and eventhe shy ones became animatedwith the pride of their work.

Summer is a time when kids saythey are bored; remedied simply,even if you have little time todevote personally to the task. Allyou need are a few supplies, aplace to work and some encour-agement, and they are off and run-ning on their own.

It is important that whateveryour child makes is good enoughto you. That’s how you encouragethem. Please, don’t suggest, whenthey are done, that they could domore. They are proud when theyfinish and if you are not completelysatisfied, it will discourage them.They will ask for help if they wantit. Don’t offer it; just let them knowyou are available. Praise theirwork and display it. Teach them tovalue what they do. Art and craftdevelops skills in children not avail-able through other means. Itimproves their problem solvingskills, develops their motor skills,exercises their imaginations andincreases their self-esteem. Givethem the opportunity. It’s veryeasy.

I offer my apology to SherryGaskin for leaving her out of theMoon Art Celebration art line-up,last week. Sherry is a vital and giv-ing member of our local art com-munity. Sorry, Sherry!
