National Aviation Day is observed in the United States on August 19 each year to celebrate the history and development of the aviation. It coincides with the birthday of Orville Wright who, together with his brother Wilbur, made significant contributions to powered flight. National Aviation Day is a federal observance but it is not a public holiday in the United States. In 1939 President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed August 19
Moon to eclipse Kern Valley’s sun eclipse2017.nasa.gov Courier All about it On Monday, August 21, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature's most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona can be seen, will stretch

from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. In the Kern Valley, the time to look up will be 9 a.m. to noon. The last time most Americans experienced a total solar eclipse was 1991. In 2017, an estimated 500 million people will be able to observe the August 21 total solar eclipse, in partial or total form: 391 million in the U.S., 35 million in Canada, and 119 million in Mexico
wildland (plus Central America and parts of South America and northwestern Europe). This is a golden opportunity to observe one of nature's most exciting splendors and to engage and educate diverse audiences in the U.S. and internationally, using a backdrop of this amazing celestial event coupled with NASA

■ Gulch Fire Kern County Fire Department reports that at approximately 11:27 a.m. on August 11, the Department received multiple phone calls for a wildland fire near Black Gulch North in the Lake Isabella area. When crews arrived on scene they were faced with a 9.3 acre fire in grass and brush moving at a slow rate of spread. Winds were light and favorable for firefighters. Due to difficult access and steep terrain, crews were forced to hike into the fire and deploy hose packs to fight the fire. Aircraft was also able to get on scene to make water drops and place fire retardant around the fire to slow the forward progress of the fire. Quick work by firefighters resulted in no immediate threat to structures. ■ Sierra Fire At approximately 11:55 a.m. on August 13, Kern County Fire Department received

Sometimes it's hard to find things to write about, so I decided to make a list of games and toys that I used to have fun with when I was a boy. They Middleworth are not in any order but I think it will be fun for you to see how many of them strike your memory bone! In fact I think you will be amused to find that most of the toys and games that we played with years ago are still popular and playable today. Let me give you a few examples and see how many you remember. How about playing Monopoly with a bunch of friends, often way into the night and still not finishing the game? Or Hide and Go Seek; although we may not play that with each other we could be playing it with our kids or grandkids or greatgrandkids. The guys would often play marbles where you aim to shoot a marble and knock one out of the circle and getting to keep it. My Grandma said that along with Checkers, this was a form of gambling and in her eyes this was a nono. This was the same Grandma who took me skiing just as the sun started its melt. Although Hop-Scotch was considered a girls' game, us guys would find an excuse to play it and show the girls how great we were. We weren't great and the girls would usually win. Now if you want to talk about real gambling, when no one was looking,
we would pitch pennies wherein we would draw a line and see how close your penny could come to the line. That was real gambling. Shame on me! On the 4th of July because we had not threatened to burn the city down, we could fire off fire crackers and sparklers. Of course we usually burned ourselves with a sparkler but that's another long story. One of the fun things that my brother and I did when Mom made us a lunch, was go to the park, picnic, and play on all of the equipment. Things like the teeter-totter, swings, monkey bars, (parallel bars), slides and usually a merry-go-round. Most parks had tether balls with which you could knock a ball around an iron post and the ball was attached by a rope. You could take turns knocking the ball galley west and was always fun. Indoor games which we would play during the winter and cold seasons were Backgammon, Old Maid, Crazy 8's, and Go Fish. We had jigsaw puzzles, crayons and coloring books and the gals had paper dolls. In fact girls played most of the games that the boys played and for us it was just the dawn of realization that girls were as talented as boys, but we didn't want to admit it. Here's one sporting activity that girls wouldn't touch. That was snail races! We would catch a couple of snails, put them inside a circle and see which one escaped the quickest. Needless to say there were no girls who claimed a snail championship. Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired securitymanager for Pacific Bell.

Image bearers Ben Richey, Courier Columnist What a crazy week it's been! If you watched the news this past week you were greeted by angry rhetoric, people marching with torches, flags with Richey swastikas flown on American soil, and condemnations galore. You probably saw a video of a car striking a group of people, claiming the life of one young lady and injuring others. It seems evident that the specter of racism is alive and well in America, and last week it showed up in a very public way. Now, I don't pretend to know all the details connected to what happened in Charlottesville, VA, but what I do know is that a very ugly ideology showed its face, and it has brought talk of race, racism, white-supremacy, and white nationalism to the forefront of public discourse once again. I firmly believe it falls to every person who claims the name of Jesus, regardless of political leanings, how you might feel about activists, protests, statue-toppling or anything of that nature, to reject racism wherever it might show its face. Earlier this year, the Southern Baptist Convention (of which our church is a part, and which has not always had the most stellar record regarding race-relations) passed a resolution condemning the racist ideology driving a lot of our contemporary turmoil, because they believed that scripture demanded such

an action. I applauded their move then and continue to do so. What makes racism and "race superiority" claims, regardless of which ethnic or racial group is making them, so out of place is that it flies in the face of God's design. In the beginning, God created humanity to reflect Him. It tells us in Genesis 1:27 that "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Regardless of the color of our skin or our point of ethnic origin, we are all image-bearers of God, all the recipients of His breath of life. God made us, and that gives us value and worth. Like a Picasso painting, the worth is tied up in who made it. No ethnicity got MORE of God's image; no one got LESS of God's breath. And so, when we come in and ascribe superiority or inferiority based on race, ethnicity, or the amount of melanin we possess, it is ascribing less worth to the master artist's creative work. Racism is evil because it robs an image-bearer of God of their worth and dignity. For a follower of Christ, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5:16, "we regard no one according to the flesh." We see the world not based on the color of skin, culture, or nation of birth. We don't deny these things exist, we don't minimize differences, but we celebrate them. We acknowledge that God is calling those of all "nations, tribes, people, and languages" (Revelation 7:9) to be a part of His family. And we rejoice in that! Ben Richey is the lead pastor of Kernville First Baptist Church.

Health Insurance Matters
Bits and pieces Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist ■ Rural Hospital: I haven't heard much since the special election where our hospital did not garner enough votes to get the funding needed Thal to expand and get itself earthquake compliant. I raise this as having just read some disturbing statistics. CNN reports on their website edition.cnn .com/2017/08/03/health/hospitaldeserts/ that 673 rural hospitals are at risk of closing according to the Charles Center for Rural Health. California is one of 5 states with the highest risk in the 49 to 79 percent category. Nearly 16 percent of America's mainland is 30 miles or more away from a hospital with emergency care. Deaths are up in these communities which are medically underserved. ■ Medicare Drug Plans: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently announced that the average basic premium for a Part D prescription drug plan is estimated to be $33.50 per month in 2018. This projected average premium is a slight decrease from the average monthly premium in 2017 ($34.70) and represents the continued relative stability of Part D premiums. It is important to note that while the average, basic premium is lower, beneficiary premiums will vary - some increasing and some decreasing next year. But their announcement doesn't look at what we may be paying at the pharmacy to
fill in 2018. I have learned that the maximum deductible will be $405 only a slight increase from this year's $400. I am still amazed by the low number of people not taking advantage of the "Extra Help" benefit, also known as LIS, low income subsidy for people who have lower incomes but too much to qualify for Medi-Cal. You can own a home, car and many other necessities. But you just can only have little cash/savings and lower income. ■ Mark Your Calendar: Medicare and a Movie will be presented at the Reel Cinema on Wednesday, October 4. There are many changes to the Medicare program, and I will be educating the community for this year's third annual presentation. ■ Pleasantly Surprised: Many homes are only seasonally occupied, and often my advice in this column may not apply to people who reside outside the county. I recently met a couple from the Los Angeles area. After reviewing their needs, my professional opinion was "do nothing." Very often, plans offered by employers will provide good benefits on the boss' dollar. If this person had signed up, not only would they have a $134 monthly expense, but would also forgo the ability to get guaranteed issue Medicare Supplement coverage once they do retire. I am always thrilled to not write business, and just steer people in the right direction. 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.
McCarthy,
Face time -
Continued from page 1 board members. Board members were given the opportunity to present personal or business concerns to the Congressman about current events and issues within the 23rd district. One topic of concern was the fire recovery funding, and the great needs still there due the Erskine Fire, and McCarthy responded with the fact that in order to receive federal funding there are specific requirements such as size and amount of loss that the Erskine Fire did not meet. He said that his office is working to recraft some of those requirements because they do not meet the needs of rural areas. Federally controlled recreation issues were addressed. The topic of white water rafting permitting being too limited came up, especially during high water years, when the Kern Valley has more visitors, to boost its economy. 100 additional jobs could open up with just one more permit available. The Forest Service was mentioned as the agency that will not issue additional permits. There was an issue with getting the road open to the Trail of 100 Giants year-round, which would benefit both Kern

and Tulare counties with an increase in winter recreation. Tourism funding opportunities were also discussed. McCarthy was asked if there is any assistance available with these recreation issues. "With Zinke, this would be a good time to work these recreation issues out," implying that the current Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke is pro recreation. A multi-agency visitor's center to be located in the Bob Powers preserve was addressed. McCarthy said that progress is being made in that regard, that the Army Corps, Kern County and the Forest Service need to be working together and thinking more long-term in regards to this project. "The community wants it," he said, and indicated we should be hearing more soon. McCarthy also advised that contracts will be most likely signed on the dam modification project this year. The question came up
about what we see as the public of what goes on in Washington, followed by a discussion. The group advocated for more compromise and coming together and suggested that our lawmakers go out to coffee with those of a different opinion to come up with some agreements. Other issues addressed were private piloting and airports, funding for law enforcement, blood donation restrictions, keeping public trails and forest access open, and whether there would be any federal funding available to be used toward a new Valley senior/veteran center. The meeting ended with many thank-yous to McCarthy for reaching out, and the thank-you was reciprocated by the Congressman for sharing concerns with him. Congressman Kevin McCarthy serves California's 23rd district and is currently the Majority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was first elected to Congress in 2006.

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Everything, Everything” (PG-13) - Maddy (Amandla Stenberg, whom you might recognize as a grown-up Rue from "The Hunger Games") is 18 and has lived her life in a cage. Even if the cage is a beautiful home with the luxuries of modern life. Her mother (Anika Noni Rose) is protecting her from a rare immune-deficiency disease that puts her at risk after only nominal contact with others. Olly (Nick Robinson) moves in next door, and the two form a relationship despite the figurative and literal barriers between them. Like all capricious young lovers, a plot is hatched to run away together. What does it mean to live? What is the cost to protect the ones you love? The young-adult drama genre again attempts an answer. “Alien: Covenant” (R) - The terraforming crew of the Covenant are waylaid by a neutrino blast on their way across the galaxy, leading to the discovery of an unknown planet. Upon investigation, the crew discover synthetic android David (gloriously portrayed by Michael Fassbender), the lone survivor of the Prometheus expedition. And the vicious, violent aliens, of course. As the crew is picked off by the morphing aliens, desperation grows and the revelations are shocking, nothing less than you would expect from director Ridley Scott. Katherine

Sintia Kawasaki-Yee, National Parks Service Courier Be prepared Surplus wood in Sequoia National Park will be made available by permit to the public beginning Thursday, August 3, 2017. Firewood permits are free, and must be obtained before wood can be removed. There is a limit of six cords per family per year. Approximately 30 cords in the Dorst Woodlot will be available on a first-come first-served basis until the supply is gone. The cutting and removal of wood is permitted seven days a week, but only during daylight hours. Permits are only valid for what can be hauled, as wood cannot be reserved. Once a permit is obtained, permit holder must stop at the Lodgepole Visitor Center to request that a ranger unlock the wood lot gate. Permits must be displayed at all times. Visitor safety and the protection of park resources during woodcutting operations is the priority of the National Park Service. Cutting or collection of any trees or wood other than identified in the permit and located in approved woodlots is prohibited. All equipment needs to be in good working order, and

the use of proper personal protective equipment, such as leather gloves, eye protection, and chaps is strongly encouraged. It is recommended that an additional person be present while permit holder is cutting wood in order to act as a spotter and to assist in loading wood. Each chainsaw needs to be equipped with a spark arrester, and exhaust systems need to be in good repair. Permittees are required to keep a serviceable round point shovel at least 46 inches long and a UL-approved fire extinguisher (two-pound dry chemical or one-pound foam type ABC or greater) within 25 feet of where saws are being operated. This wood is a result of tree mortality, and were trees deemed to be a potential hazard to visitors or property within the park. There will be no wood available in Mineral King this year. Please contact Chris Trotter for more information about wood permits and availability at 559-565-4401 or chris_trotter@nps.gov. Permits are only valid in Sequoia National Park, not in Sequoia National Forest or Giant Sequoia National Monument.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This week could offer more opportunities for ambitious Lambs eager to get ahead. But don't rush into making decisions until you've checked for possible hidden problems. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some light begins to shine on professional and/or personal situations that have long eluded explanation. Best advice: Don't rush things. All will be made clear in time. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you might want to protest what seems to be an unfair situation, it's best to keep your tongue and temper in check for now. The full story hasn't yet come out. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work prospects are back on track. But watch what you say. A thoughtless comment to the wrong person -- even if it's said in jest -- could delay or even derail your progress. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A colleague might try to goad you into saying or doing the wrong thing. It's best to ignore the troublemaker, even if he or she riles your royal self. Your supporters stand with you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful not to let your on-the-job zealousness create resentment with co-workers who might feel you shut them out. Prove them wrong by including them in your project.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although it's not quite what you hoped for, use your good business sense to make the most of what you're being offered at this time. Things will improve down the line. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A more positive picture of what lies ahead is beginning to take shape. But there are still too many gaps that need to be filled in before you make definitive plans. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Continue to keep a tight hold on the reins so that you don't charge willy-nilly into a situation that might appear attractive on the surface but lack substance. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You still need to demand those answers to your questions. Remember, your wise counseling earns you respect, but it's your search for truth that gives you wisdom. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You'll find that people are happy to help you deal with some difficult situations. And, of course, knowing you, you'll be happy to return those favors anytime. Won't you? PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Give that special someone in your personal life a large, loving dollop of reassurance. That will go a long way toward restoring the well-being of your ailing relationship.
1. Oakland won 20 in a row in 2002. 2. Tom Phoebus, in 1966. 3. Denver, in Super Bowl XXXII after the 1997 NFL season. 4. It was the 1987-88 season. 5. The Vancouver Canucks, in 2012 .6. Andre Ward won a gold medal in 2004. 7. Tommy Armour III shot 254 in a tournament in 2003.

NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 12/28/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $489,751.81. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 proper-
ty 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/TrusteeSer vices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-00160-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: July 19, 2017.

SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE. All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by the Trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 311 Via Esperanza, Bakersfield, CA 93314, A.P.N.: 409-213-08-00. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $149,126.70. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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/TrusteeSer vices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-01063-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.

unique assets. You can see a partial eclipse, where the moon covers only a part of the sun, anywhere in North America. To see a total eclipse, where the moon fully covers the sun for a short few minutes, you must be in the path of totality. The path of totality is a relatively thin ribbon, around 70 miles wide that will cross the U.S. from West to East. The first point of contact will be at Lincoln Beach, Oregon at 9:05 a.m. PDT. Totality begins there at 10:16 a.m. PDT. Over the next hour and a half, it will cross through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North and South Carolina. The total eclipse will end near Charleston, South Carolina at 2:48 p.m. EDT. From there the lunar shadow leaves the United States at 4:09 EDT. Its longest duration will be near Carbondale, Illinois, where the sun will be completely covered for two minutes and 40 seconds. If you can't make it to the path of totality you can still safely view a partial eclipse and you can still enjoy totality through the eyes of NASA Television and NASA webcasts.
multiple phone calls for a wildland fire in the Wofford Heights area. When crews arrived they were faced with a confirmed working grass and brush fire moving at a moderate rate of spread. Hand crews were able to quickly take action on cutting a fuel break around the fire to help slow down the forward progress, while engines worked the active fire. High winds and downed power lines made it very challenging for firefighters to safely extinguish a mobile home also involved in the fire. Although one structure and an outbuilding were lost in the fire, quick action by firefighters eliminated what could have been a wind driven fire that had an immediate threat to hundreds of structures. The U.S. Forest ■ Indian Fire According to inciweb, fire continues to creep along the southern portion of the
Toowa Range on the east side of Redrock Creek. Fire behavior has significantly slowed with little to no growth overnight. Several small spot fires were located on the east side of the Toowa ridge above Bog Hole Meadow but crews have observed little to no movement. Crews are constructing direct and indirect handline from Jordon Hot Springs east up to the Toowa Ridgeline and continuing north. Other crews will work south from Indian Head to tie in this handline. Crews are confident that the hand line will be complete in a few days. Crews completed direct and indirect hand line along a ridge to the Cold Meadows Trail on the north portion of the fire towards Indian Head. In addition, direct hand line was completed from the top of the no name ridge to Nine Mile creek. The fire has destroyed 2,624 acres and is now ten percent contained.

Viewers around the world will be provided a wealth of images captured before, during, and after the eclipse by 11 spacecraft, at least three NASA aircraft, more than 50
high-altitude balloons, and the astronauts aboard the International Space Station - each offering a unique vantage point for the celestial event.

Center, Continued from page 1 per day and 120 Meals on Wheels per day. The Kern Valley senior nutrition program currently serves 30 to 90 meals per day, and 130 Meals on Wheels. Hoerner would like to move the Senior Center up Lake Isabella Blvd. near the County Complex. The motivation for the move is that the most likely next disaster would be an earthquake and if the dam bursts in such an event, the existing senior center would be under water and useless as an evacuation center. The existing center could be modernized and brought up to current codes, but it would still be in the flood path. Hoerner has enlisted the aid of Assemblyman Devin Mathis and State Senator Jean Fuller. Their offices have agreed to help the group obtain funding. Dallas Theisen, representing Mathis' office, explained that a project like this will require many sources of funding and state funding is never a sure thing and noted that our center serves a lot of veterans, which could be a source. Pam Rose, representing Fuller's office, explained that because the Kern Valley is considered both rural and low income, some funding opportunities could open up. She also suggested looking for public/private partnerships. She advised building up activities at the current senior center to show need for a new center.
Daures Stephens, retired Senior Deputy Sheriff, former commander of the American Legion Post 711, and owner of South Lake Cycle, said, "It's the water, but the seniors and retired in the Kern Valley are the economic driving force of the Valley, so we need to be investing in them." Stephens' wife, Lisa, is the campus manager at Cerro Coso College and is assisting with locating a grant writer. Donna Moreno, representing Kern River Valley Revitalization, advised that KRVR is working with USDA to bring some grant money to the Kern Valley, suggested that could also be a good source. The board decided, on the recommendation of Paul Quinn, IS manager for the Kern Valley Hospital, who provides volunteer help to the group, that they separate their private internet from the public internet that the group offers at the Senior/Veteran's Center. About $2,300 will be needed to do the conversion. Hoerner requested that the attendees contact the Kern County Board of Supervisors and suggest that they assist in payment for the Senior/Veteran's Center internet because it is used during emergency evacuations and was instrumental in the Red Cross operations during the Erskine Fire last year. Mick Gleason, our Co. Supervisor can be contacted at district1@ kerncounty.com or by calling 760-549-2068.
