They have successfully raised funds and excitement through Kickstarter to produce an independent feature-length documentary with footage from the flight, and the vision of driving influential change in our world. Despite globalization enabling openness and integration, the world regrettably remains somewhat divided. There are still those that encourage hate, often due to their lack of understanding and fear.

This is how the idea of Beyond Borders was founded. "We know that there is no better time to produce a film that embraces and celebrates differences, and promotes understanding and empathy," said Cole. The duo intended to find extraordinary and ordinary people, from all backgrounds, who live in a way that is true to themselves and their worlds, whilst embracing the worlds of others. Cole's experience in reaching broad global audiences, gave him the confidence that by documenting this

Surviving Kern County Veteran returns from Honor Flight experience Melody Batelaan Courier Honors Robert Cunningham, of Lake Isabella, who is a very young 94 year-old, is the last Pearl Harbor survivor in Kern County, according to Honor Flight coordinator, Gary Zuber. Cunningham has just returned home from the last this years Honor Flight, where he said that he was the oldest veteran on the trip. Cunningham joined the Navy at the age of 19, and after boot camp in San Diego, he was sent to Long Beach to board a ship bound for Hawaii, where he was stationed. Cunningham was assigned to the USS Vestal, a repair ship that on December 7, 1941, was tied up next to the USS Arizona. He had been there only about two months prior to that fateful day. The Vestal received two

He said that he does not have many service related mementos, and he is not even sure if he has a picture of the ship. He joined the Navy as a reserve, and said he served four years, one month and 14 days. After his discharge, Cunningham, who was married by then, became a Christian and used his GI bill money to fund Bible school. He became a pastor and worked for Foursquare churches in Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina and Georgia, before ending his pastoral career in north Compton, California. Being a pastor didn't pay the bills, so he always worked other jobs. In California, he went to work for the post office. Cunningham came to See Cunningham, page 12

A life well lived by local Pearl Harbor veteran

In 1926, the United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I and declared that the anniversary of the armistice should be commemorated with prayer and thanksgiving. The Congress also requested that the president should "issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples."

The intent of Veterans Day is to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 an armistice between Germany and the Allied nations came into effect. On November 11, 1919, Armistice Day was commemorated for the first time. In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed the day should be "filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory".

November safety tip

â&#x2013; The weather in the Kern Valley is finally cooling down. Some things you might want to remember are to make sure your vehicle is equipped with cold weather gear and make sure the air pressure in your vehicle's tires is at the recommended pressure. If you are unsure, find a local mechanic repair shop to assist you. The drop in temperature can change the air pressure in your tires, which can be unsafe when driving.

Veterans Day: a day to honor the men and women that have served Kern County First District Supervisor Mick Gleason Gleason Veterans Day is a day to honor the men and women have served, and to recognize the sacrifices they have made to defend our freedom. As a former Navy Captain and Commander of Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, I have served alongside many remarkable Sailors and Soldiers, and I have witnessed firsthand their tireless commitment to excellence and dedication to duty. Our nation is indebted to all those who have served, and that is why I invite you to join me in honoring them, not only this Veterans Day, but every day. It is important to take the time to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude at

Guest Editorial

Lately I have noticed that people are no longer content to sit in the background of expression. When I was a kid, I lived in Surfside Colony Middleworth which was right next to the City of Long Beach. I used to take a bus from Surfside to Long Beach just to play in the Pacific Ocean Park which we called POP. It had all kinds of rides and the kind of things you would expect to find in an amusement park. One of the fun features of POP was a place in the park that people could express themselves by debating and arguing for exactly five minutes. It was called the Spit and Argue Club. The very fact that it was popular was that it gave anyone who wanted to talk a method of expressing themselves, it didn't matter what they wanted to talk about it was just that they only had five minutes to do it in. There was a small stage, microphone and benches for the audience to sit and listen to the opinions, usually of old men, who wanted to talk. And talk they did. There were no rules except the ones that said you had five minutes, you could not swear and you must talk only once. The key here was the understanding by the audience that what we were hearing was one of the few places that a person could express themselves. That was then but what about now? Now there is television which gives a limited number of people a

chance to tell the world what you think. But even then only a few people have the rare opportunity to do that. But guess what! I've found that there is a perfect way for people to tell the universe what you want them to know. It's called "The T-Shirt". I've noticed that more and more people are wearing t-shirts that carry a message telling the world what they think. Sometimes it's on the front of the t-shirt and sometimes it's on the back. Sometimes it's in tiny black letters or emblazoned in red with letters 15 inches high. It sometimes tells a quiet opinion of the wearer and sometimes it verbally shouts what the wearer thinks. With that in mind, for fun I thought I would take a trip to the mall. It almost seems that everyone was wearing a t-shirt that tells everybody something. Here are some examples: "I'm not short! I'm just compact & ridiculously adorable." "At my age "getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in for." "Be nice to nurses. They keep doctors from killing you." "I'm a secondhand vegetarian. Cows eat grass and I eat cows!" "If they don't have chocolate in heaven, I ain't going!" "I'm the reason Santa has a naughty list!" The topper was outside of Starbucks: "I thought I was having a hot flash, then I realized it was just my boobs in my coffee!" Next time you're in the mall, look around you'll be amazed!

Community every opportunity. We will honor our service men and women not only in words, but also in actions. We are blessed with many freedoms, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom to elect our own leaders and to shape our own destiny. As critically important as these freedoms are, it is also important to remember that these freedoms come at a price. That price has been paid, and continues to be paid, by countless brave American's who have selflessly sacrificed for our country. Alexander Hamilton once said, "There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism" While our veterans have bravely defended our freedoms around the world, we must honor them by continuing to defend them here at home. We can do this by exercising our precious right to vote, and by supporting people and policies that will create jobs, encourage growth, and that will take care of the Veterans and their families, who have sacrificed so much for us.

All things operate for the purpose of God's glory. Romans 11:36 says, "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." As you may already know, amen means "so be it." There it is. That's it. God's glory is the bottom line in His kingdom. It is His goal. Paul said that everything is from God. He is the first cause, the source. Then Paul said that through Him everything is. God is also the effective cause of everything in creation. And

finally, Paul said that everything is to Him. He is the final cause. It all returns to Him to bring Him glory forever. It is crucial that you understand that God created the universe for His pleasure and His glory (Revelation 4:11), including the creation of you (Isaiah 43:7). God did not make the world first and foremost for you but for Himself. Everything is created to bring Him glory, and that means you, too. That is your chief aim-your highest purpose. You are to reflect Him and His ways through your thoughts, choices, and actions in such a way that people look at you and can't help but give glory to God.

Reformation Part 2 Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist In my last piece I described how on Oct. 31 Christians especially we Lutherans - celebrate not so much Halloween, but Reformation Day, and Schlensker why almost all Christian denominations are celebrating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing of his 95 discussion /debate assertions, or "theses," to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. That action, was the initiation of the process we now recognize as The Reformation. These theses focused primarily on errors which has infected the teachings of the church with respect to the means of acquiring forgiveness of sins. The church's emphasis on doing penance to make atonement for one's own sins concerned Luther as well as those so-called indulgences, or letters of pardon, which were being sold to people and allegedly could procure forgiveness for both themselves and for their loved ones in purgatory. To give you a taste of what Luther wrote, here are a few of the 95 theses: 1. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said Poenitentiam agite (from Latin, which is variously translated into English as "repent" or "do penance"), willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance. 2. This word cannot be understood to mean sacramental penance, i.e., confession and satisfaction, which is administered

by the priests. With respect to the purchase of forgiveness, Luther says in thesis # 27: "They … say that so soon as the penny jingles into the money-box, the soul flies out [of purgatory]. 28. It is certain that when the penny jingles into the money-box, gain and avarice can be increased, but the result of the intercession of the Church is in the power of God alone. 32. They will be condemned eternally,...who believe themselves sure of their salvation because they have letters of pardon. 36. Every truly repentant Christian has a right to full remission of penalty and guilt, even without letters of pardon. 62. The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God. 64. On the other hand, the treasure of indulgences is naturally most acceptable, for it makes the last to be first." Luther was acutely aware of his need for forgiveness and righteousness, and he went to great lengths in his days as a monk to be good and to make amends for his iniquities. But he could not, no matter how hard he tried. He discovered the result of faith in Jesus, from his study of Romans 6: "But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." It worked for Luther; it can work for you! Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Health Insurance Matters

The health insurance time clock Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist There are two clocks running this time of year. The first is for the individual health plans and the other Medicare. Thal Whether your plan qualifies for the tax credits through Covered California, or you purchase your coverage directly through the insurance company (with or without an agent) there is a very finite schedule. One day late, and you are in trouble. Individual plans have a very slim window for enrollment. The Open enrollment period began on November 1 and closes January 31. Most people will want their coverage to have a January 1 effective date. For this to happen, the drop-dead date is December 15. If an application is submitted after the 15th, it will become effective the first of the second month following. So, if a procrastinator waits until the last day, January 31st, their coverage would not begin until March 1. If you have a plan and are satisfied with it, you can do nothing, and it will roll over to the next year. However, be prepared for a change in cost. If your 2017 plan was from Anthem Blue Cross, you will need to enroll in a different plan, as Anthem has withdrawn its plan from most counties in California, including Kern County. Medicare has a little longer window for their Annual Enrollment

Period. It began October 15 and runs through December 7. All plan changes using the AEP will begin January 1. The only plans affected by the AEP are either Medicare Advantage HMO plans or the StandAlone Prescription Drug plans. For the coming year, these plans really do need a longer enrollment period, as some of the 2017 plans will have drastic changes for 2018. Some of the HMO plans have had great enhancements, adding benefits. All plans utilizing our local doctors have had some changes. I have noticed several have had major enhancements while other plans have not. What a waste to be on a plan that hasn't added these extras when the doctors haven't changed. One plan that was really good about insulin in 2017 is not going to be generous in 2018 while another plan will. It is essential to see what all the plans are offering, as I am finding most people are finding other opportunities, which may include much lower pharmacy costs. Speaking of pharmacy, as my regular readers know, we are keeping track of how much we are saving our clients in medication costs by changing to a better plan in 2018. Five weeks into the AEP and we have recommended changes totaling $549,162.24. How much will you be spending next year at the pharmacy? Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106), on the National Association of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board. He may be reached at harrythal@aol.com or harrythal.com.

Community-wide shoebox packing party The Kern River Valley community-wide shoebox packing party is Saturday November 11, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Kernville Community Center, sponsored by the Kernville Chamber of Commerce. They need help filling almost 100 Community shoeboxes with items that have been donated by local vendors and individuals. Also, the recommended $9/per box is paid by donations and grants; over $300 toward shipping the Community boxes has already been collected. If you wish to sponsor one or more Shoeboxes (or a carton-full) you can pay online at samaritanspurse.org and print out a Follow-Your-Box barcode label for each box you wish to sponsor.

Stop Meth Now, BHRS/Aegis treatment centers kick off The first "Kern Rx Return" prescription drop box location has opened at the North Chester Pharmacy, 1822 N. Chester Avenue, Bakersfield. The Kern Rx Return Project is a safe medication disposal project that provides free community receptacles for disposal of unwanted or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications. In the wake of the National Opioid Epidemic being classified a Public Health Emergency, this is the first of 9 such boxes to be installed as part of the program. According to the California Department of Public Health, in 2016, there were 51 opioid overdose deaths, 119 opioid overdose emergency department visits, and 95 opioid overdose hospitalizations in Kern County. The aim of Kern Rx Return is to reduce such access to prescription medications within the home. No single strategy or policy change will magically stop the misuse of these medications or prevent teen drug use in our communities. It takes many coordinated strategies to change specific behaviors. Kern Rx Return is one such strategy. For information, contact Public Information Officer, Roger Perez at 661-868-8607.

How to have a good day Dr. Glenn Mollette Courier Best Medicine Everybody needs a good day every now and then! Think of something or someone for which you are grateful. Maybe this is easy? Hopefully you have one or maybe dozens of people that are meaningful to you. We all have someone that aggravates us or maybe worse. We're not going to emphasize that group in this column. They get enough glory. Today just think about those people you enjoy seeing or hearing from. Have something to do every day. It is better if you have three or things to do. If you are going to work every day you have plenty to do. If you are raising kids or caring for family you have plenty to do. Don't run out of things to do. Clean your house, work in your yard or find a part time job but have something that requires you to put out some effort. Do something to take care of your health every day. Walking , bike riding, fervent exercise along with focusing more on healthy eating all have positive effects on our mental well being. Try to reduce negativity in your life. Don't watch negative cable television four or five hours a day. They are saying the same things over and over. I suspect you could start talking before you turn on the channel and verbalize almost verbatim what is being said depending on the channel. Also, reduce the negative people time in your life. That may be hard if you live with a negative person or have lots of

negative family. Try to be the upbeat person and try to create happier conversations. This brings us to laughter. Laughter is good medicine for any mind and body. Families that laugh will be happier growing old together. Social groups that interact and laugh can't wait to gather again. Happy churches that are laughing together will stay together and even grow. Children need to hear their parents laughing and laughing with them. Don't make age the deciding factor. A friend of mine had been on the sideline of life for a long time got another chance. Some tough things happened to him in life. He went through a divorce. After this life altering event he got in trouble and had to go to prison. That was a very dark period in his life. However, in time he got back on his feet. He went forward, tried to stay upbeat and at the age of 77 was called to serve a very vibrant church as their senior pastor. For the last three years he has done a tremendous job. He didn't let his age along with his past failures cripple him for the rest of his life. Gain strength each day from outside of you. Look to God, a loving spouse, family, friends and good mentors. We all need time to be alone but we also all have times when we need support from outside of ourselves. We've all had a few bad days along the way. Here is to a good day for you and hopefully many of them. Glenn Mollette is a syndicated columnist\ and author of twelve books.

Hilarious dark comedy Amy Anderson Courier Contributor

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Ingrid Goes West” (R) Mostly unbalanced and awkward, Ingrid Thorburn (brilliantly played by Aubrey Plaza) has a savage social-media problem (can you say #stalker?). Personal tragedy makes it clear to Ingrid that she needs a #BFF to help her weather the storms of life, so she heads to California and tracks down Insta-star Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen), a social-media maven whose envy-worthy online escapades have made her an "influencer." Ingrid hacks her way into Taylor's inner circle by any means necessary, but following someone IRL isn't always something to "like," as we find out in this hilarious dark comedy that's a biting commentary on obsession and the underbelly of Internet celebrity. O'Shea Jackson Jr. cameos delightfully as Ingrid's landlord. “Cars 3” (G) - When aging racer Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is being overtaken by the newest and youngest rides out there, he must look inside himself and rev up a few new tricks with a little help from a techie named Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo) and his friends. Has Lightning McQueen faced his final checkered flag? Don't count him out yet. With any threequel -- especially in

Elizabeth Olsen, Aubrey Plaza in "Ingrid Goes West"

kids' animation -- you're taking a risk on a lump trying to cash in on merchandising one last time, but the "Cars" franchise still has it: the right jokes, the touching moments, the inspiring message and the heart of a champion. Long live No. 95. “The Limehouse Golem” (R) - A serial killer is on the hunt, and Scotland Yard's Inspector Kildare (Bill Nighy) seeks to eliminate this threat, the Limehouse Golem, at the earliest opportunity. With scant clues written in blood, the public in a frenzy and the confidence of his superiors in question, the case leads Kildare through a maze of suspects, among them connections to a music hall star accused of a terrible crime (Olivia Cooke) but who may be a witness of the first order. Troubled pasts are everywhere you look, while lush cinematography highlights the dark and dirty corners of Victorian London. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Flight, Continued from page 1 each to eventually complete the circumnavigation. Cole focused on filmmaking, while a ground crew and production team facilitated logistics, weather briefings, documentary pre-production and on-site filming. The trip required flying into over 22 countries on six continents, offering a diverse and culturally rich filming environment which is the intention of the film itself. It will be a film celebrating unity, differences and love, to break down borders, illustrate how small our world really is,

and encourage others to travel and explore. With a top notch production team, this film will be nothing short of spectacular. They plan to leverage the creative freedom the Kickstarter campaign offered to redefine independent filmmaking and drive influential change in the world. The Summit will be an incredible space for our LTA community to grow in creativity, social media and to learn directly from some of our absolute favorite creators. An opportunity to meet some beautiful likeminded people and create lifelong friends and collaborators. It will be a weekend of

camping out under the stars with music, dancing, campfire stories and to learn how to grow your social media and photography skills. All activities and workshops will be run by specialist in their field. The duo is expected to land on Friday, and friends and followers from around the globe are expected to attend to hear speakers, music, and camp at the Kernville Airport campground.

We donated to some very important causes in the past from the proceeds of our Fishstock concerts. Erskine Fire Victims, the replacement of stolen items from a Lake Isabella Boy Scout troop, Trout in the Classroom set up and replacement items, and a Troutfest Barbeque at the Hatchery. We sponsored kids and some supplies for the Kids Fly Fishing Academy at the Hatchery in Kernville. We are a sponsor of the Elks Club Kids Fishing Derby for 2017. We've recently signed up to join forces with the Exchange Club of the Kern River Valley and are members in good standing with both chambers. Every year we assist with the stocking of trout in our waterways and staff the museum as well as give tours to schools, and various other groups. Music and Entertainment subject to change

Hazardous fuels reduction projects are scheduled this winter on three mountaintops within the Kern River Ranger District in the Sequoia National Forest. All projects are subject to weather and air quality conditions. Burns may begin as early as next week. ■ The Greenhorn Mountain project is adjacent to the community of Alta Sierra and south of Shirley Meadow. ■ The Breckenridge project will include pile burning in the vicinity of the Breckenridge sub-division and the Golf Meadow area. ■ The Kern Plateau pile burning will be in the Blackrock Work Center compound off of the Sherman Pass Road. Fuel reduction activities in the project areas will have beneficial effects in the project areas by reducing the risk of a stand-replacing fire and restoring natural ecosystems while improving public safety. Included in the plan are both pile and understory burning (understory burns are controlled fires that consume surface fuels but not the overstory

canopy. The Kern River Ranger District expects to burn 850 acres this year in small units designed to minimize effects of smoke on the community while reducing the potential for significant, stand-replacing wildfires. Forests need the frequent, lowintensity fire to remove accumulated smaller fuels and recycle nutrients into the soils to promote healthy vegetation and wildlife habitat. A healthier forest is a safer forest for firefighters and residents when wildfires inevitably occur. Smoke will be visible from several communities surrounding Isabella Lake. The Kern Plateau burning will be apparent to those traveling across Sherman Pass from the Vista and into Kennedy Meadows. Fire managers will work closely with the Eastern Mojave and San Joaquin County Air Pollution Control Boards to manage smoke production and reduce any local impacts. Projects are dependent upon weather and wind conditions and will be cancelled if conditions are not suitable. For more information, please contact Bryan Hellett, District Fuels Officer at (760) 376-3781, extension 656.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 903 SOUTH CURRY STREET, Tehachapi, CA 93561, A.P.N.: 416-19214-00. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Cunningham, Continued from page 1 the Kern Valley in 1993, to be near a son who lived in Bodfish. That son has since passed away from cancer. He has another son in Arkansas and his daughter lives in Dallas, Texas. Cunningham said that he had a really good time on the Honor Flight. He said that the bus driver was great, and they had a police escort everywhere they went, so they could just "buzz through traffic." He was selected to assist in placing the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and while at the Pearl Harbor monument, he got to talk to some school children

Veterans Day, Continued from page 1 An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) was approved on May 13, 1938, which made November 11 in each year a legal holiday, known as Armistice Day. This day was originally

Kern Valley Airport is located just south of the town of Kernville, provid-

visiting from Puerto Rico about the event. Cunningham said that upon his return, Channel 17 took him aside at the airport to interview him. He was having hearing aid problems, and there was a young woman who was sitting with him writing down the questions they were asking him so he could provide answers. At the end, he asked her what her name was. She said that her name is Tammy. He said that he has a granddaughter named Tammy. She then told him that she is that granddaughter, who had driven up from Corona to see him. He didn't recognize her because he hadn't seen her for a few years. The Honor Flight put

him up in a hotel after the flight. The next day, instead of the friend he was expected to come drive him home, his daughter was there from Texas. At 94, Cunningham is getting the most he can out of life. He eats lunch at the Senior Center every day, plays Bingo weekly, and says he is not home much. He still drives and occasionally drives to see his wife in a convalescent home in Visalia. When asked if he had any advice to give to others regarding life, Cunningham replied, "Accept what happens. There are a lot of things in life we have no control over, so if we accept what happens, we live a better life."

intended to honor veterans of World War I. A few years later, World War II required the largest mobilization of service men in the history of the United States and the American forces fought in Korea. In 1954, the veterans' service organizations urged

Congress to change the word "Armistice" to "Veterans". Congress approved this change and on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor all American veterans, where ever and whenever they had served.

The trip culminates with a "Live The Adventure Summit and Arrival Party" from 9 a.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Sunday.
