One of the plan revi- sion meetings was held on July 11 at the Kernville School. The purpose of the meeting was to allow par- ticipants to discuss Forest assessment topics in greater detail with mem- bers of the Sequoia Forest Plan Revision team. During this assessment phase of the Forest Plan Revision process, the pub- lic was able share key information they have about the forest and raise specific interests and con- cerns. The Plan will encompass the Sequoia National Forest and the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Opening the meeting was Forest Supervisor Kevin Elliot, who said, "Quite simply, we need your help." Then he went on to familiarize the par- ticipants about the Forest Plan Revision process and introduced the other Forest Service personnel that were in attendance. There were about 30 people in attendance of which 10 were Forest Service employees. Elliot presented a snapshot of summaries of the 15 assessment topics to be addressed in the Sequoia National Forest assess- ment that evening. The topics were ecosystems; air, soil and water; driv- ers and stressors; car- bon; at risk species; social, cultural and eco- nomic; benefits to people; multiple uses; recreation; energy and minerals; infrastructure; tribal importance; cultural; lands oversight and des- ignated areas requiring special treatment.

stole a hose and squirted themback.

We finally got through with thewashing of the truck disaster andI asked if they wanted to taketurns driving the truck around ourcircular driveway. They screamed"yes!" I had them take turns sit-ting on the center console on apillow. They could steer and honkthe horn from there (I was on thegas pedal and I held on to the bot-tom of the wheel with a death gripmaking sure the truck stayed onthe driveway).

We went round and round thehouse one driving the truck and

the other honk-ing the horn.Then I hadthem changeplaces. Everytime we camearound to thefront of thehouse, one of

the kids would honk and scream.We had a ball, and after we gotout of the truck had another waterfight, but soon it was time forthem to go home. Out came thetowels and dry clothes.

One thing we found out: Thered pillows we used to keep theseats dry got wet and left red dyeon everything and I noticed thatthe red rubbed off on the seat ofmy pants. Now my white shortsare pink and it won't wash out.But it doesn't matter! We had funand now I'm getting ready fortheir next visit. I bought a bunchof water balloons and a launch-er...Look out kids! Great grandpais ready for you!

We are luckythat our grand-children andgreat grandchil-dren all live inKern County andwe're able to gettogether andspend birthdaysan holidays withthem.

Last weekend our grandson,Jason his wife NiCole and the twogreat-grandkids, Madison, age 7and Landon,age 4 had anafternoon freeand decided tocome up fromBakersfield,have lunch anddo whateverthere was timefor. And they did. We had lunchand while eating, I pondered onhow to entertain the kids.Suddenly I had it; I would havethem help me wash my truck. Iwould give each a hose, a nozzleand instructions on how to help.

Now I've been a great grandpalong enough to know that I wasplaying with dynamite givingthem control of the hoses. It start-ed out OK as I had them wet thetruck down. Then I soaped it goodand told the kids to rinse. I didn'tstep back soon enough and bothof them got me, full force. Onenozzle wouldn't shut off andLandon handed it to me full in myface!

Cemetery District collecting pennies from heavenThe Kern River Valley Cemetery District would like to thank the community for

their continued support in these trying times. The Solar Pledge drive has risen to$8,400 to date, but there is a long way to go to raise the $58,000 needed. The CemeteryDistrict believes that the generosity of the community will provide.

For the past several years the Kern River Valley Public Cemetery District has beenactively engaged in research regarding the use of alternative energy. The primaryreason for installing an alternative energy system, solar paneling, is to reduce the costof electricity needed for the District structures and to run the water delivery systemfor the irrigation of the cemetery. With the use of alternative energy, the District willbe able to redirect the monies spent for the energy needs of the District to the oper-ations of the cemetery, such as hiring a part-time groundskeeper, general improve-ments, and beautification of the cemetery grounds. Manager Randy Kyt invites any-one with questions to call him at 760-376-2189.

they have not beenenforcing feerequirements outsideof these new bound-aries. However, sig-nage at AuxiliaryDam, Old Isabella,and South Fork doesnot reflect this. Infact, at the entranceto the Old Isabellarecreation site where

the Forest Service map states there is nofee, "Recreation Fee Required" signsremain as they have for more than tenyears. ■ 4. Will people in self-contained motorhomes, parked near the lake's edge stillbe required to pay the amenity fee(especially so during the eight monthsof the year when there is neither trashnor toilet service there?) ■ 5. There are no stated provisions forthe refund of illegally collected "HIRA"fees that have not just been collected inthe past, but continue to be collectedtoday.

According to the Forest Servicepress release, these changes are comingabout as the result of an internal reviewof the Lake Isabella HIRA done in Juneof 2011. At the very least it would seemthat local Chambers of Commerce,Kern River Valley RevitalizationCommittee, the two local newspapersand a couple others could have receivedsome notice about this? Could therehave been at least one local meeting formembers of the general public to com-ment and ask questions? This processhas been going on for more than twoyears. Now, two weeks before its final-ization, its existence is beingannounced.

Guest Editorial:

New proposedexpanded fee areastroublingPeter WiechersKernville

At the end of last week, the US ForestService posted a press release regardingtheir decision to convert the LakeIsabella HIRA (Standard Amenity FeeArea) to three separate campgrounds(Expanded Amenity Fee Areas). I'mencouraged to see that after eight years(and the initiation of several lawsuitsagainst their illegal "HIRAs") officials ofthe Federal Government are at leastmaking an attempt to comply with thelaw. However, there are several trou-bling aspects -with national implications-to what is now about to transpire locally:■ 1. The final decision on this is going tobe made in just over two weeks (July 30,2013) by the Forest Service RecreationResource Advisory Committee (R-RAC) .As of last Friday Forest Service officialscould not disclose where in Californiathis meeting will be held.■ 2. Federal law allows for the use ofpasses for day use visitation (StandardAmenity Fee) but does not allow waivedentry fees (pass holders or otherwise) foruse of campgrounds (ExpandedAmenity Fee). Under current law, thereis no such thing as a federal campgroundpass. A question that needs to beanswered is "Under what provision offederal law can the Sequoia NationalForest unilaterally begin to issue anannual campground pass?" How will theprospect of invalid "Southern SierraPasses" be handled? ■ 3. The boundaries of the three individ-ual campgrounds have been set; theForest Service press release states that

Today we con-tinue our examina-tion of the SevenGodly Virtues witha look at the virtueof Diligence.Diligence is thatvirtue that coun-ters the vice ofSloth.

It has often been argued thatLove is the most important giftthat a parent can bestow upon achild - and I would not argue withthat in the least. However, I wouldargue that a close second to thegift of love isthe gift of inter-nal discipline, ordiligence.

Childrenwho learn thevirtue ofDiligence are ones who will have alifetime of dedicating themselvesto hard work and not expectingimmediate gratification.

In my (Bishop Menees) ministryover the years God has blessed meby allowing me to work off and onin prison ministry. In that capacitytwice a year I visited inmateseither short term or long term atTerminal Island FederalPenitentiary, San Diego FederalJail, Fred C. Nelles CaliforniaYouth Authority or at R J DonovanState Prison. These are strikinglydifferent facilities, and the inmatesall very different, serving sen-tences or awaiting trial for every-thing from multiple murders todrug smuggling to white collarcrimes. However, one thing wasconsistent with every one of theprisoners I met with…their desirefor, and the pursuit of immediategratification, which is the root tothe vice of sloth.

To develop the virtue of dili-

Kutzner

gence requires demonstrating andinstilling godly convictions in ourchildren that their charactercounts. They should be the samewhether they are alone or withothers. This is the same adviceand example that St. Paul set forhis apprentice, Timothy, when hewrote: "Be diligent in these mat-ters; give yourself wholly to them,so that everyone may see yourprogress. Watch your life anddoctrine closely. Persevere inthem, because if you do, you willsave both yourself and your hear-ers." (Timothy 4:15-16).

To cultivate the virtue of dili-gence in our spiritual livesrequires developing a routine ofdaily prayer and scripture reading,

both as individu-als and as a fam-ily. If we wantour children tobe diligent inprayer parentsneed to demon-

strate that same steadfastness forthe importance of prayer andscripture reading, understandingthat the reward may not be imme-diate, but in time the prayers andscriptures will seep into our mindsand hearts and souls and shapeour very being.

To nurture the virtue of dili-gence requires demonstrating astrong work ethic that promotesnot only completing a job for thepay, but for the pride of doing ajob well done. Of course there is areward for the diligent asProverbs tells us: "The soul of thesluggard craves and gets nothing,while the soul of the diligent isrichly supplied." (Proverbs 13:4).

My prayer for you and for meis that we will seek by God's graceto develop the virtue of Diligence!

Love . . . does notrejoice in unright-

eousness, butrejoices with the

truth - 1Corinthians 13:6

As a principle,truth has fewequals, and is embraced rathereasily. When asked in a randompolling question whether truthwas to be preferred over untruth,who among us would not withoutquestion embrace truth? Yet as areality to be chosen in the midst oflife's intricacies, truth can bedownright frightening. Whoamong us does not shrink fromquestioning along the lines ofmotivations, attitudes, or actionsthat may not be as forthright asthey should be, and how often dowe sidestep issues of relationshipthat could turn dicey if the truthwere to come out? That squeam-ish feeling in the pit of the stom-ach belies our real attitude towardtruth, especially when it comes totruth that may have uncomfort-able application to how we act orthink, or have retribution in whatmay happen to us as a result.

We cannot overlook then thedesire of the Father's heart foreach of His children to be walkingmore and more toward the light oftruth. How often have we as par-ents desired truthfulness whendealing with our children, only tobe met with something less than

Duitsman

transparency. From our angle, asimple confession would lead tosuch a different path where disci-pline and restoration are con-cerned, but having been youngonce ourselves, we know thatthrough their youthful eyes, truth-ful exposure poses a terror toogreat for words. "Just be honest"we have implored, yet with everytwist and turn of the confronta-tion, said honesty seemed moreand more elusive.

Of course this above quotedScripture has external applicationin the affairs of the world inwhich we live, but leaving that gofor a moment, it's first and fore-most application is within ourown hearts. As those living in thelight of the love of God, there ofnecessity will be a continual risein distaste for anything within usthat smacks of evil: "does notrejoice in unrighteousness."Whatever we find within us ofjealousy, anger, bitterness, worry .. . the list here is long, and theapplications easily made as we arefraught with weakness that isdizzying in its array. As truthbecomes a standard by which wedesire to live, the unfolding of ourembrace for discovery under thescrutiny of the Holy Spirit will bea continued fulfillment of theWords: "rejoices in the truth."How this shift in perspective andpractice would revolutionize thevery essence of who we are aspeople.

News from the forest

Cody Norris, USFSCourier Release

Sequoia National Forest officials areseeking public comments on proposedchanges to the Lake Isabella RecreationFee Area.

The Sequoia National Forest is pro-posing to reduce the size of the LakeIsabella recreation fee area and split itinto three fee sites, at Auxiliary Dam,Old Isabella, and South Fork.Recreation.

In June 2011, the ForestService conducted a nationalreview of the 97 fee areas onNational Forest Systemlands, which resulted withthe Forest Service plan toremove the fee area designa-tions for 73 fee areas andreduce the boundaries forthe remaining 24 fee areas across thenation. This proposal for the LakeIsabella recreation fee area is consistentwith the results of the national review.

This proposed change to the LakeIsabella recreation fee area will be pre-sented to a citizen's advisory commit-tee, called the California RecreationResource Advisory Committee.Committee members represent a broadarray of recreation interest groups.The public is welcome to attend andcomment at all R-RAC meetings. Thenext R-RAC meeting is expected to beheld in July. More information aboutthe R-RAC, including meeting dates

Forest Service seeks public commentand locations can be found at:California R-RAC.

If adopted, it is anticipated that theproposal for the Lake Isabella recreationfee area would be implemented in thesummer of 2013. In the interim, consis-tent with direction on implementationof the national review within the LakeIsabella recreation fee area, the SequoiaNational Forest has not been issuingnotices of required fees or enforcing

recreation fees outside of theAuxiliary Dam, Old Isabella,and South Fork recreationsites.

Fee revenue collected atAuxiliary Dam, Old Isabella,and South Fork is used foroperations and maintenanceand future enhancements ofthese recreation sites. Moreinformation about the recre-

ation fees and the Sequoia NationalForest Recreation Program can befound in the Forest's Annual FeeProgram Accomplishment Reports at:CA REA Accomplishments.

For more information about this feeproposal, please contact Mary Cole at559-784-1500 x 1133.

Comments may be submitted to:Sequoia National Forest, 1839 S.Newcomb, Porterville, CA 93257 Attn:Mary Cole or by email [email protected]. Please submitcomments by July 28 so comments canbe compiled, analyzed, and shared withthe R-RAC at their next meeting.

As you may ormay not havenoticed, the lake isdecreasing in waterstorage at a quickpace. In otherwords Isabella Lakewill soon be Lake Is-a-Puddle. The ques-tion most asked these days is how they(they being the Corp of Engineers) canlet the lake get so low. I am no experton this subject, but after asking a fewspecial folks, this is how it wasexplained to me. Again let me statethat this is a nutshell explanation.

The original landowners had thewater and mineral rights. As timemoved along parcels of land weresold, some for wealth some to paytaxes etc. The original owners wouldretain the water and mineral rights.Over the years these rights were soldor passed along to family.

The long and short of it is thatexcept for the minimum pool of 38,000acre feet (an acre foot is one acre ofwater one foot deep) all the water thataccumulates in Isabella Lake is con-

Mencarini

Why so low?Antler, Fin & Feather Report

tracted to the holders of the waterrights. These contracts have not beenrenegotiated since the original dealswere struck. Fair or not fair, that's theway it stands today.

Ok, so the lake is going to beextremely low this summer and proba-bly next summer. It's going to takeseveral wet years to get us caught upto normal. This will be a great time toexplore the newly exposed lake bot-tom. This new territory hasn't beenexposed since the 70's. I think thiswould be a great time to take somepictures and to do some hiking. Itmight be quite a while before it will bethis low again. It is my understandingthat the taking of any artifacts is pro-hibited so if you should find some-thing while hiking around the lake,take a picture and leave it where youfound it.

Fishing in the lake is still very good.Bass, crappie and catfish are still beingcaught from the shore. The night timebite is good for crappie and catfish. Ifyou want to have some fun try mixingsome cornflakes and strawberry pre-serves into a ping pong size bait ball,add some weight and toss it out any-where in Boulder Gulch. This is anexcellent way to catch carp.

‘G.I. Joe’ not to be taken seriouslyDwayneJohnson in"G.I. Joe:Retaliation"

© 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Sam Struckhoff

PICKS OF THE WEEK“G.I. Joe: Retaliation” (PG-13)

— The evil Cobra Commandos havea big evil plan, and only the action-figure-inspired personnel of the G.I.Joe unit can stop them, again! Thistime, the Cobras have one of theiroperatives in the White House, sothe Joes have a tiny nugget of plotto talk about between explosiveaction sequences. This time, BruceWillis joins the crew to add hismuscle mass to bulk already provid-ed by Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson)and Duke (Channing Tatum).

Do not, under any circum-stances, attempt to take this movieseriously -- even for a moment. Thisis a sequel to a movie based on acartoon show that was produced tosell toys. It's like a big bowl of sug-ary cereal -- kids will love it and gonuts for hours after finishing; wegrownups have a narrow chance ofenjoying it, and we'll probably justget a headache.

“Filly Brown” (R) — "Majo"Tonoro (Gina Rodriguez) has a giftfor hip hop. She also has a manipu-lative mother trying to reach outfrom prison (Jenni Rivera), animpressionable younger sister, aworn-out father (Lou Diamond-Phillips) and bills to pay. WhileMajo's lyrics are personal and polit-ical, some local record producersnotice that she could be a real mon-eymaker if she sold out and sexed-up her act. With all that talent and

all that responsibility, Majo's path isa difficult one.

The story, as you may have fig-ured by now, feels put togetherfrom a formula set for a new genre -- the underdog hip-hop artist.Instead of doing any plotlines thatare too original, the film chooses touse as many cliched subplots aspossible. The performances byRodriguez and Phillips manage toshine despite the script.

“Cloudburst” (NR) — Stella(Olympia Dukakis) and Dot (BrendaFrick) are an elderly couple living ina little cottage in Maine. Dot has losther sight, and her clueless but well-intentioned granddaughter commitsher to a nursing home. Stella breaksher out, and the two head to NovaScotia to be legally married. Alongthe way, they pick up a young hitch-hiker who wants to see his dyingmother. This is not your averageroad-trip romp. With touching per-formances, a good script and theright visuals, this bit of drama iscertainly worth checking out.

people who buy health insuranceare assured they'll have coverageof a full range of services. SinceSeptember, 2010 all policies writ-ten had no maximum benefit,providing more financial protec-tion from serious illness orinjury.

The importance of stagingTalking About Real Estate

Matt FreemanCourier Columnist

Often when aseller prepares toput a property onthe market theyforget one thing,staging. Land island, nothing tostage just keep theweeds cut, but ahouse is a different matter.Especially a home in an area knownfor nice homes, interior staging mat-ters. If a property is occupied, stag-ing can be a has-sle because let'sface it, for every-one life gets inthe way some-times and thereis just no way to keep a perfecthome all of the time. Plus the factthat usually fate seems to require ashowing of your home at the worsttime in your schedule!

In a market where buyers are fewand far between, staging is animportant factor to consider tomake your listing stand out from therest. So here are some simple com-mon sense tips to get the best out ofyour home.■ Smell: If the house smells bad, noamount of staging is gonna help!Trust me, smell is huge. If a propertyis vacant, get the carpets scrubbed,put some air fresheners and crack awindow or two for airflow.■ Temperature: I know it is a bur-den for a seller to leave utilities on at

a property that is vacant but thereare two reasons to do so. First, it isactually required in the listing con-tract in the fine print, ask you realestate agent about it. Secondly andmost importantly, walking into asweltering hot house in the sum-mer can turn a buyer off immedi-ately, and the hot temps can makethe home smell as well. Keep thetemp at no more than 80 or so ifyou want more success in sellingyour home.■ Trash: Keep the trash out everyday, keep stuff off the floor. For anoccupied home, if it looks a bit lived

in that is finebut debriseverywhere isnot an option. Ifyou want peo-ple to like your

home, don't camouflage it with per-sonal stuff, let the house sell itself.■ Be friendly: Friendy is good butstay out of the way. This is huge;sometimes I have had sellers whoactually talk buyers out of a sale.The buyer needs to see the home ina timely manner, and feel comfort-able about it. Talking is fine,answering a few questions is greatbut turning a 10 minute showinginto a 2 hour affair, that can shootyou in the foot. Let the home sellitself, let the real estate agent dotheir job, and sit back and relax abit, that is the key.

Too late for life insurance?Dave Says

David RamseyCourier Columnist

Dear Dave,Is it ever too

late to get lifeinsurance?

Tiffany

Dear Tiffany,The only time

it's really too late to get life insur-ance is after you're dead! But seri-ously, if you're older than 70 itbecomes pretty difficult to getaffordable cov-erage, becauseinsurance com-panies figureyou've prettymuch got onefoot in the gravealready at that point.You can get term life insurancepretty easily up until about age 70,and there are a few policies avail-able past that point, depending onyour health situation. But you reallyshouldn't need life insurance whenyou're that age and older.Hopefully, you've invested, saved,and set aside enough money to payburial expenses and for a spouse-ifyou have one-to live on after you'regone.

- Dave

Dear Dave,My husband and I are trying

to improve our financial situa-tion by following your plan. We

were wondering where homeimprovements fall in the BabySteps.

Emily

Dear Emily,Unless you're talking about an

emergency situation, homeimprovements would fall into thecategory of wants, not needs. Ifyou'd like new carpet, nicer win-dows or an updated kitchen, thesethings need to wait until afteryou've completed the first threeBaby Steps. Let's review. Baby Step 1 means

saving up$1,000 in thebank for astarter emer-gency fund.Baby Step 2 ispaying off all

debts except for your home. Thethird Baby Step is going back toyour emergency fund and buildingit up so you have an amount equalto three to six months of expensesin case something goes wrong.Once you've gotten to this point,you'll be able to save and do someother things, including a few homeimprovements!

understand the existing and anticipatefuture conditions of the Forest. The focuswas attention to resources that may beaffected by Forest management deci-sions. Public input was requestedthrough July 31.

Maria Ulloa, Forest Planner, gave apresentation on where the Forest assess-ment plan revision currently is, andadvised that meetings have been heldsince February. She explained that anassessment report synthesizes the exist-ing situation relating to the social, eco-nomic, and ecological conditions andtrends of the Forest using the alreadyavailable information and existing dataand identifying knowledge and informa-tion gaps that are still needed to fill.

Revising the Plan is a multi-yearprocess. Next year the Need for Changedocument will be created and Draft Plan

and EIS will be developed. In 2015 theywill hold a public review of the Draft Planand EIS. In 2016, the final Plan and EISwill be approved and the objection anddecision process will begin.

The meeting concluded with a ques-tion and answer period and then therewere informal "open house" stations sothe attendees could speak directly toForest Service staff.

The Forest Service requests that asmany as possible go toourforestplace.ning.com and participatein the forest living assessment. The publicis encouraged to join in at the wiki, theweb application, which allows people toadd, modify, or delete content in collabo-ration with others, atlivingassessment.wikispaces.com.
