Michael Batelaan Courier Holiday The weather conditions for the July 4th weekend are looking hot for river and lake recreation and also for joining in other area events. ■ Free Fishing Day Saturday July 1 has a special bonus-it's the first of two free fishing days in California! That means you can try your luck at angling without having to buy a fishing license. All other sport Michael Batelaan Courier Celebration The Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce will present the annual 4th of July fireworks celebration on Saturday night, July 1 at about dark-thirty (9:30 p.m.) It’s showtime! ■ Fireworks Extravaganza The extravaganza is on Saturday, evening when the sun has completely set over the mountain and winds are calm. The size and length of the show is directly related to the amount of donations received from individuals and businesses throughout the year. You can help the Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce by donating to the canisters that are placed throughout the valley. The fireworks are released over the lake from Engineer’s Point between the main and auxiliary dams and can be viewed from most anywhere on the southern end of the lake. The Chamber is also hosting a BBQ event earlier in the day at Tank Park in Lake Isabella people

Kern Valley Search and Rescue
The ranks of the lost and found Ruthann Smith Courier Community Kern Valley has been known for its seasonal playground, and with that comes risks.

Hub Fire suspect arrested At approximately 9:30 p.m., on Monday June 26, Michael Shawn Bustamante, 34, was taken into custody and charged with Arson PC 451(c) for the Hub Fire in Lake Isabella. At 5:05 a.m. on Friday, May 12, the Kern County Fire Department received a call about a grass fire in the Erskine Creek area at Red Hill Road and Schick Road, 2 miles east of Lake Isabella. More than 50 personnel from KCFD responded. KCFD Engines 72, 371, 378 and 336, Helicopter 408, Rio Bravo Hotshot Crew 7, and Patrol 76 responded. KCFD was also assisted by the United States Forest Service. The forward progression of the fire was stopped at approximately 7:30 that morning. The fire was contained to 31 acres. Structures were threatened but no structures were damaged.
Drowning victim recovered Karen George Mambreyan, age 55, of Burbank, CA, was reported missing after entering the Kern River on June 3, 2017. He was located on June 13 at Kern River, 1.5 miles west of Keysville, Lake Isabella. After a postmortem examination, the cause of death was drowning and the manner was accidental. continued
As I sit down to the keyboard today wondering what I was going to write about, a thought came into my mind. Stay with me now because I'm going Middleworth to tell you about a something that's nothing, but needs to be seen to be believed. It's called a "Fidget Spinner". My grandson, along with my Father's Day gifts, gave me this apparatus and said, "Gramps, you're going to have a hard time putting this down, it's addictive!" and it is! It's shaped like a three leaf clover, made of steel and plastic. What does it do you ask? Not much I'll tell you, it's about 3 inches in diameter and spins, and when it starts to spin as you hold it between your thumb and index finger it will seem to run forever. If you set it on a flat surface, holding it down with your left index finger and spinning it with your right index finger, it will start to spin changing color and almost placing you in a hypnotic trance as it spins and spins and spins. It's fun to pick up the Fidget Spinner and just wiggle it around and feel its mesmerizing force. But wait, there's more! I just read in my wife's iPhone that there are many variations of the Fidget Spinner and how it works. They have Fidget Spinners of all shapes, colors and some with lights. Anybody can use one and there is a
certain satisfaction of getting this darn thing to spin and then see how long you can keep it spinning. As you become more proficient it will spin longer and that's part of the fun. Once you get a Fidget Spinner spinning and set it down you can do other busy things that need doing, but I guarantee that out of the corner of your eye you will look to see if the Fidget Spinner still spins. Where do you get one? I don't know. But I'll bet you'll find out pretty quick. As I talk about this latest craze I can remember other toys that swept the nation. Let me give you a couple of examples. How about the Rubik's Cube and the special way you had to come up with a square of small cubes that formed straight lines of color. Or how about Playdough? Mostly a kid's toy but a kind of clay that would keep children occupied by the hour. There was also a toy called the Etch-a-Sketch which unlimbered the creative genius' of kids around the nation. Do you remember the Dunking Bird? A small plastic bird that sat on the edge of a glass and as long as there was water it would dunk back and forth, back and forth. Which gave rise to the possibility of perpetual motion. There are lots of addictive products that cross the nation over the years and I've just mentioned a couple but I'll bet you could think of some yourself. Sudoku, anyone?

On June 22, at about 5 p.m., the Kern County Sheriff's Office received a report of a subject missing in the Kern River near Keysville. Sheriff's deputies responded to the area and determined the subject, a 25 year old male, was last seen after jumping into the river near his camp. Volunteers from the Kern County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Unit were on scene within minutes and were assisted in the search by personnel and air support from the Kern County Fire Department. Despite the coordinated and timely search, both from the ground and by air, searchers have been unable to locate the missing subject.

Forest Supervisor, Kevin Elliott, reminds visitors to be cautious around all rivers, streams, and lakes. "With the warmer temperatures, jumping into a cold mountain stream or lake can look inviting, but can also be extremely dangerous. Slippery rocks, fast moving currents and swells from runoff caused by snowmelt, could mean powerful currents that can easily sweep you off your feet." ■ When near rapids or other moving water, always stay on the established trails or developed areas. Keep a close watch on children even if they are far from the water. Water safety for children is important; they can

Health Insurance Matters
Different plans, different rules Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist George is 68 years old and has been on Medicare since 65. He was in excellent health, exercised, watched his diet, and did Thal everything we are supposed to for a healthy lifestyle. What changed in his life is that during a routine physical, it was discovered that he had cancer. The medication prescribed runs about $4,000 per month. He had a prescription drug plan but when the pharmacist informed him that this type of medication, just like certain medications for hemophilia, transplant rejection medication, etc. is not covered by Medicare Part D, but instead is covered by Part B of Medicare, just as his doctor visits are. So, Medicare Part B paid its 80 percent share, and he is left with the remaining 20 percent. Twenty percent of $4,000 is $800 a month! So if you are turning 65, working, and are not insured by yours or your spouse's employer plan you may purchase or enroll in any Medicare plan without any medical questions, except end stage renal disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplant. This window is open for 6 months from your Part B effective date. George may have been unaware of the rules. The only solution to his problem is not pretty. He will need to continue paying his 20 percent copays
for the remainder of the year. Then beginning October 15 to December 7 he can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, which annually is "guaranteed issue" (except the renal disease thing, above). That plan will become effective January 1. Not counting the doctor bills, laboratory tests and other procedures, his lack of knowledge will cost about $5,000 for the remaining 6 months of the year. Since his specialists are not participating on any of the HMO plans, he will need to change doctors. And his pre-existing condition will force him to remain on the HMO plan, as he will not be accepted on applying for supplement. There are many rules regarding the timing of insurance purchases. The political bluster we have been exposed to "you can keep your doctor and we will lower your costs" just isn't and has never been truthful. It may have been 'good intentions', and the people in Washington and Sacramento may have these great ideas, but the bottom line is, the medical professionals will only perform if they get paid what they think they are worth, which is never less than what they are currently receiving. If they are legislated to lower income, and more patients, those who can will either retire, or move where they can earn a living. 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.

Pyrotechnic History China is generally recognized as the birthplace of fireworks with the first explosive mixture found being black powder, during the Sung dynasty (960-1279). It is said that a cook in ancient China found the explosive powered mixture was very flammable and would explode if enclosed in a small space. The first application of this technology was for entertainment and the Chinese are still the leader in the production of fireworks. Once the recipe for black powder was perfected, they found that it was easily used as rocket fuel. These rockets shot rocket-powered arrows against the Mongol invaders of 1279. The principle behind these rockets is still used in rocket-powered fireworks today. Through adventurous explorers, the knowledge of making fireworks spread west, through Arabia in the seventh century. The Arabs called the rockets Chinese arrows. The Mongols are credited with taking Chinese rockets and gunpowder to Europe around 1241. The first record of their use in Europe is around 1258. Until the 19th century, fireworks remained less than colorful. Pyrotechnicians began to use a combination of potassium chlorate and various metallic salts to make brilliant colors. The salts of these metals produce the different colors: strontium burns red, copper makes blue, barium glows green and sodium, yellow.
Magnesium, aluminum, and titanium were found to give off white sparkles or a flash. Even though China invented the fireworks, Europe surpassed them in pyrotechnic development in the 14th century, which coincides with the time the gun was invented. Shot and gunpowder for military use was made by skilled tradesmen, later called firemakers, who also made fireworks for peace or victory celebrations. During the Renaissance, two European schools of pyrotechnic thought emerged: one in Italy and the other at Nuremberg, Germany. The Italian school of pyrotechnics emphasized elaborate fireworks, and the German school stressed scientific advancement. Both schools added significantly to further development of pyrotechnics and by the mid-17th century, fireworks were used for entertainment on an unprecedented scale in Europe and by the mid-19th century, fireworks became popular in the United States. The physics of Fireworks 2XC1O3 > 2XC1 + 302 = ‘Ka-Boom!’ What most don’t realize is that physics are used and take place during every fireworks show. The science of pyrotechnics involves many physics applications that must be considered to produce entertaining displays.

Freshened - up fun Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Power Rangers” (PG-13) Five outcast teens -- played by Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Ludi Lin and the singer Becky G -- find each other in a small-town high school. They stumble upon some magical coins and develop extraordinary powers. Afterward, their destiny is revealed, and the kids, now sort of superheros, train under the direction of the disembodied Zordon (voiced by Bryan Cranston), where they unite to defend against the extreme evil of Rita Repulsa (played delightfully by Elizabeth Banks). All the while, they are cracking one-liners in all directions. If you're a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger fan, you're familiar with the concept. The 2017 reboot doesn't take itself or the series nostalgia too seriously, and the end result is purely freshened-up fun. Go, go Power Rangers! “Autopsy of Jane Doe” (R) In a small town, an investigation into a brutal and perplexing murder uncovers a corpse half-buried in a basement -- dead but apparently untouched by the carnage suffered by the other victims. "Jane Doe," as she is called, is brought to a father and son team of coroners, played by Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch. They begin to piece together the peculiar particulars of the hair-raising mystery -wounds, broken bones, damage

inside that defies explanation. Each cut of the scalpel reveals paranormal evidence that becomes increasingly hard to ignore until they are trapped in a situation in which logic and perception are masterfully skewed. The film is smartly done, keeping you on the edge of your chair until the very, very end. “Berlin Syndrome” (R) Teresa Palmer plays Clare, a young Australian photographer on holiday in Germany. She unexpectedly meets Andi, steaming-hot local, played by Max Riemelt. The attraction is immediate, and it leads to a passionate night together. Clare wakes up and Andi has gone, but after a bit of innocent snooping, she uncovers clues to a terrible realization: She's locked in and not going anywhere. We follow her inescapable journey in deep, stomach-turning terror. It's a suspenseful, cautionary tale on indulging in a one-night stand, and fans of psychological thrillers won't be disappointed. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

The velocities and the distances traveled by the shells can be understood and manipulated by using the following formulas and mathematical methods: ■ Y=VyT+0.5GT^2 - Y=vertical height, Vy=initial vertical velocity, T=hang time, G=acceleration due to gravity. ■ X=VxT - X=horizontal distance, Vx=initial horizontal velocity, T=hang time. ■ The Pythagorean Theorem - a^2 + b^2 = c^2, a or b = vertical or horizontal velocity, c=resultant initial velocity. ■ Trigonometric Functions - Sine, cosine and tangent. In a right triangle sine=opposite side/hypotenuse, cosine=adjacent side/hypotenuse, tangent=opposite side/adjacent side. Enough of that! Formulas you see are primarily what are used to chart trajectories. They are very useful tools allowing pyrotechnicians to visualize how high and how far their shells will travel during a show. The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find a certain initial velocity value when the other two factors are known. The Trigonometric Functions are also used to find initial velocity values, but are used to find vertical heights, horizontal distances and firing angles as well. Pyrotechnicians use these mathematical methods along with charts, graphs and computer programs derived from them to plan their impressive displays. They must also consider shell burst sizes when planning shows. The bigger the shell size the larger the effect so they must know how big certain bursts are when compared to others when choreographing a show. Shell burst sizes are usually about 45 feet in diameter for every inch in shell size. A twoinch shell produces a burst of 90 feet but an eight-inch shell produces a burst about 360 feet across. Fireworks Chemistry Fireworks are usually made out of the following items: an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent, a coloring agent, binders and regulators. These mixed together are what make up the basic fireworks. ■ Oxidizers - The first thing in a firework is the oxidizing agent. These produce the oxygen to burn the mixture. Oxidizers are usually nitrates, chlorates or perchlorates. ■ Reducing Agents - The second element of fireworks are reducing agents. The reducing agents burn the oxygen produced by the oxidizers to produce hot gasses. Two examples of reducing agents are Sulfur and Charcoal (carbon). The agents are used to control the speeding or slowing of the reaction, with metals often added to speed the reaction. The finer the powder, the faster the reaction. ■ Binders - The fourth element of fireworks are the binders. Binders hold the mixture in a lump. This lump is a star. In order to form a star, two main elements are used. These are dextrine dampened by water, or a shellac compound dampened by alcohol. Fireworks Construction The first job a pyrotechnician has after planning the show is selecting and/or building the actual aerial shells that will be used. This is a very involved and time-consuming process, but it is crucial to the end result that the spectators will take in. Firework shells are not what you

typically see illustrated as rockets. There are two types of shells that are constructed today. One is the oldfashioned Oriental style spherical (or ball) shell, and the American- style cylindrical shell. They both contain a lift charge for propulsion of the shell into the air, a time fuse leading to the burst charge that explodes the shell, and the actual burst stars that are

2017 Free Fishing Days July 1 and Sept. 2 Kyle Orr, CDFW Courier Fish on!
Every angler must have an appropriate report card if they are fishing for steelhead, sturgeon, spiny lobster, abalone or salmon anywhere in the state. Anglers residing in urban areas also have opportunities to fish close to home. Some CDFW regions offer Fishing in the City, a program that allows children to learn to fish. You can check the regulations at wildlife.ca.gov/regulations for the waters they plan to fish. In addition, information on fish planting is available at nrm.dfg.ca.gov/fishplants and a fishing guide can be viewed at wildlife.ca.gov/fishing/guide. For more information on Free Fishing Days, please visit wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/freefishing-days.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife encourages all Californians to give fishing a try for free on July 1 and September 2. CDFW annually offers two Free Fishing Days, typically around the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends. On these two days, people can fish without having to buy a sport fishing license. Free Fishing Days also provide an easy opportunity for licensed anglers to introduce non-angling friends and children to fishing and the outdoors. All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements and fishing hours and stream closures, remain in effect.

KernvilleCarriageCo. packed into the shell and produce the brilliant colors during the show. Each type of shell is available in the following sizes: two-inch through six-inch, eight-inch, 10inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, 24-inch and 36-inch. Sizes from 16 inches and up are only used during very large scale shows, are extremely expensive and require a huge safe zone to fire from. At a cost of $500 each, a 10-inch shell is the largest that you will see displayed at the Isabella Lake fireworks show. The difference between cylinder and ball shell types is basically price and performance. Ball shells are easier to manufacture, but aren’t capable of carrying as many burst stars as cylinder style shells of the same dimensions. The next step is applying the actual shell material around the form. Most pyrotechnicians use recycled newspaper to do this. They basically cut the newspaper into thin strips and paste it around the form with either Elmer’s glue or wheat paste. It is a process much like working with paper mache. Once the form is covered with appropriate number of layers - and the larger the shell, the more layers - it is placed in an oven for three or four hours for drying. After the paper shells are dried, they’re cut in half for the loading of the star burst material. Once the sphere is cut in half it can be loaded with the burst stars and pasted back together. This should provide you the insight into what kind of work goes into constructing the shells fired at your Isabella Lake Fireworks show. Enjoy!

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. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt 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.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/Mortgage Services/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2016-03811CA.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEES SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource. com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeSe rvices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-00115-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: June 19, 2017.
