Ifyou have a littlebrother or sister withyou, take their handbefore crossing thestreet.■ If you are an olderkid or young teen,and going out withfriends, make surethat your parentsknow where you aregoing and who youare going with.■ If your parents giveyou a curfew, behome when they say.If you are going to belate, call them and letthem know.■ Vandalism is nevercool! Throwing eggsat cars and houses isnot cool. ■ Hurting animals isnever acceptablebehavior! Not only isit illegal to hurt or tor-ture animals it is pun-ishable by law.■ Have fun onHalloween but keep itsafe and have somegood, clean fun!

This is good andacceptable in thesight of God our

Savior, who desiresall men to be savedand to come to the

knowledge of thetruth. - 1 Timothy

2:3-4

Is this enough?There is notenough space on this page to coverall that needs to be said on the topicof eternity as it relates to all livingsouls, but the Father's heart on thematter is worthy of understanding.That we even ponder such mattershas very little to do with our inquisi-tiveness, and far more to do with themercy of God, Who has put withineach of us a sense of the eternal, anda deep longing to find the way backto the Father's heart and our eternalhome. It is important in this matterthat we embrace our individuality,for salvation comes to each heartsingularly, and at the same time thatwe also wrestle with the universalityof God's love for each and every soulwho has ever walked this earth. Notan easy task to be sure, but one wor-thy of our labors.

If we are saved by grace anyway,and the Father wants all to spendeternity in heaven with him, thenwhy on earth is there such a place as

hell, and who will spend eternitythere? No doubt we have each won-dered along such lines, and had suchthought reinforced by questioninghearts of others we have run across.Sadly, we very often can be swayedby human reasoning along the linesof fairness, and come to the erro-neous conclusion that a God of lovecould never carry out such a cold andheartless eternal sentence In thinkingthus, we ignore what the Scripture'sdeclare to be true. Whether we meanto or not, such "fairness theology," or"common sense theology," under-mines the tenets of BiblicalChristianity, and disregards the sav-ing grace of Jesus Christ, and thework of God on Calvary's cross. Atthe end of all of our musings on thematter, there is still a heaven to gain,a hell to shun, and the grace of Godthat alone can make the difference. Itis not about good people vs. bad peo-ple; a vengeful God vs. a loving God;good religion vs. bad religion; and ifwe turn the discussion into such wewill never get to the heart of the mat-ter. The Father wants all to be saved. . . but not all will be.

The pesky little matter of free willis the crowning glory of the Father'sheart of love, and yet is the very rea-son that such love will allow eternalseparation from him to be an optionthat can be chosen, and apparently ischosen. Hell will be preferred bythose who for whatever reason willnot come to terms with their humanpride and the need that every livingsoul has for a Savior.

It looks like nationwide the realestate market isshowing some signsof life. Bakersfieldand Ridgecrest arestarting to get a lotof action; certainareas even haveinventory shortages.Other areas ofCalifornia are expe-riencing the samemarket conditions;inventory is going down at the sametime as buyer demand is going up.There are several factors that are caus-ing these trends to change that arevery significant. The first is the factthat banks lately have been holdingonto their "shadow inventory," homesthat are in or heading towards fore-closure. Lenders as of this year havebeen taking much longer to list andsell homes in their portfolio. I amexperiencing this personally as anagent, I have several homes right nowthat I am just sitting on because thebanks will not release them for sale. Igo check on them, take weekly photos,make sure all is well and that there isno damage and they sit. This lenderbehavior is causing a shortage ofinventory, and we are getting aglimpse of what the market will returnto as soon as all these foreclosures areout of the system, listed and sold.Bakersfield is building new homesagain; there is a bunch of new resi-dential construction going. Another

factor driving the market is the inter-est rates. You can get a 30 year mort-gage right now for 3.5%, that is justinsane, the interest rate has not beenthat low since the 60's.

All of this is good news. If thelenders release their shadow invento-ry slowly it will help keep the marketfrom being over saturated. If ratesstay low that will keep buyers interest-ed in homes. Why pay rent when youcan own for the same amount or less?We still have a long way to go though,and this whole thing could unravel ifwe are not careful. Historically thenumber one thing that drives realestate markets is the economy. Jobs,jobs, jobs as both presidential candi-dates seem to keep repeating. No jobs,no buyers, no buyers, no market. Itdoes not matter how low prices arefor houses, if there are no buyers withthe means to purchase, price is irrele-vant. This is particularly true for ourarea here, the Kern River Valley. Oureconomy is very slow even when thenation's is hot, that is the hallmark of arural resort community. So for ourinventory levels to drop and our pricesto rise, which has not happened yet,we need the big cities to experienceeconomic growth and a reboundinghousing market. We are behind thecurve up here in the valley it seems; ittakes a couple of years for trends tohead up the canyon and affect us in ameaningful way.

My clients whoare spread all overCalifornia and theWest recognizeme as a leadingauthority onMedicare insur-ance plans. I par-ticularly like toshare my knowl-edge with myneighbors, hencethis column over the past 8 years orso.

This year, as seniors and others onMedicare fret over selecting a pre-scription drug plan, I am finding sev-eral real gems hidden away within theMedicare.gov website. First off, Iremind those who are on a MedicareHMO which has a built in prescrip-tion plan, this article is not for them,Yes, they need to check that theremedication will continue to be avail-able, but there is very little flexibility. Idirect this week's column to people onMedicare and a "stand-alone" pre-scription drug plan (Medicare Part D).

If you are taking only generic med-ications, there has been a plan in 2012that allowed you to fill your genericdrugs at a Walmart, Walgreen's orTarget pharmacy with a $0 co-pay. Ihave this plan personally in 2012.However, I prefer to shop locally, so Ifill my medications at The Drug Storein Kernville. They cost $7 or less at"Participating Pharmacies" like Rite-

Aid or Mesa Clinical Pharmacy.I'm changing plans for 2013 as a

new plan has come on the market.For about $5.00 more a month, thereis a plan where I can now pay $0 atmy local drug store. No need to drivethe Canyon to save a few bucks andthen stand on line. I can have mycake and eat it too.Of course, all of us aren't fortunate touse only generic drugs, and as thisplan has a $0 deductible, I have imme-diate benefit for the brand namedrugs too.

This Annual enrollment season Iexpect to have researched and recom-mended plans for about 900 to 1200seniors. About 2/3 of them will find abetter deal this coming year. Many ofthe plans have retained their brandname, but have altered the benefits.Competition has forced many compa-nies to re-think their position in themarket, and they have come out withnew and creative cost saving plans,many allying with chain pharmacies.If you are a do-it-yourselfer, go towww.medicare.gov and discover theopportunity to enhance your positionfor the coming year. Those who hatecomputers can call me. I'll try to help.

PICKS OF THE WEEK"The Amazing Spider-man"

(PG-13) -- With a new cast and newdirector, the story of Spider-manstarts over from the beginning. Itseems we did this not so long ago --with the spider bite and gradual real-ization of responsibility. However,this new take on the Webslingerpacks more emotional punch and hasa different edge to it.

Andrew Garfield plays PeterParker, who's on a journey to discov-er what happened to the parents henever knew. What he finds instead isa radioactive spider and The Lizard, acreepy enemy never before seen in aSpider-man movie.

"Arthur Christmas" (PG) --This animated feature from Englandhas enough heart and visualgrandeur to get anyone hyped up forChristmas. Santa has two sons; Steve(voiced by Hugh Laury), the tough-as-nails Christmas commando; andArthur (James Macavoy), a clumsylittle guy with funny voice intona-tions. When a present for onedeserving child is left behind, it's upto Arthur and Grandsanta to makethe delivery in time for Christmasmorning.

This is the first major computer-animated production from Aardman

Animations, the studio famous for"Wallace and Gromit." Regardless ofhow you handle British humor,"Arthur Christmas" is cheerful andwarm. There are some wickedhumorists behind the scenes, butArthur's finished product is as brightand cheery as a star on a tree.

"Your Sister's Sister" (R) --Jack (Mark Duplass) is mourning theloss of his brother when he makes ascene at a memorial. His friend Iris(Emily Blunt) sends him to an oldfamily cabin in the Pacific Northwestto sort things out. Jack finds Iris' sis-ter is already at the cabin, drinkingafter a big breakup. Jack and Hannahhave a one-night stand, and a perfectlove triangle forms when Iris showsup the next morning. This movie ispart melodrama, part romcom, butcertainly interesting and heartfelt.

Last week I gaveyou a peek into themountain lions soli-tary and elusive life.With more thanhalf of Californiabeing the lion'shabitat: pets, live-stock, and peopleare becoming moreand more in dan-ger. Albeit moun-tain lions prefer deer but the menu ischanging and no warm blooded crea-ture is safe. Mountain lions wouldrather avoid ushumans.Unfortunately wecontinue to movein on their turf.As we encroachcloser to the lionsterritory the more we invite the lioninto our life.

Mountain lion attacks are rare.However, in California attacks onhumans are on the increase. There areobvious activities that should be donewith caution when in or near lioncountry: outdoor activities shouldnever be done alone, never approach amountain lion, keep your small chil-dren and pets close, and if you shouldconfront one make noise, wave arms,throw rocks. Mostly try to avoid out-door activities at dawn, dusk, and atnight when they are most active.

Mountain lions that attack peopleare immediately killed. Livestock own-ers can kill one only with a depredationpermit. Another unfortunate situationis they cannot be captured and movedto another location due to the fact itcauses deadly conflicts with other lions.

From 1890 to 1909 there were twoattacks and three deaths by mountainlions. Two of the deaths were a womanand a child who both died from rabiesfrom one lion. The time periodbetween 1910 and 1985 was a 76-yearspan with no known attacks. In 1986there were two attacks with no deaths.One was an attack on a 5-year old girlthat left her blind in one eye, the othera 6-year old boy who received minor

injuries. Therewere no attacksrecorded from1987 through 1991.Between 1992 and1994 there werethree more attacks.

All were children ages 6, 9, and 10 whosustained some injuries. From 1994thru 2004 there have been six attackswith three deaths. There is no recentdata, but you can follow the past histo-ry and see the increase. This may seemlike a miniscule amount of events, butbeware when using the forest or mov-ing to a secluded area.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have todefend a workplace decision you plan to make.Colleagues might back you up on this, but it's thefacts that will ultimately win the day for you. Goodluck.
