The Indian Fire is burning in 2002 McNally Fire footprint. Snags are a substantial safety concern. Smoke is diminishing and the fire now has 80 percent of the perimeter contained. The lightning caused fire started August 2 and has burned 2,295 acres. There is direct and indirect handline around the entire perimeter of the fire. Pumps and hoselays are in place to continue securing handlines and protect nearby cabins in Long Canyon and Ninemile Creeks if needed. Mop-up operations continue on hot spots on the interior of the fire to further secure the handline. Crews have begun fire suppression rehabilitation to mitigate or eliminate environmental resource impacts caused by the fire suppression effort and rehab the area to as natural conditions as possible.

Kiss and make up day August 25 is Kiss and Make Up Day, a day to let go of resentment, grudges, anger, and indignation. The unofficial holiday encourages people to make up and reconcile with anyone they are estranged with - at work, school, or in their family. Conflict is one of the biggest truths in life. No matter how much we may try, disagreements are a big part of our relationships with others. Most of the times, these differences can be easily set aside and

For 26 years we have stashed boxes of stuff in the garage overhead. We thought it was time to find out what was in all of those boxes and Middleworth throw away what we could...HA....The more we pulled down the higher the boxes of important things got. The group of boxes filled with important data was 26 years of tax receipts and copies of IRS forms. What came next was me thinking of how I could get rid of those tax receipts. "Easy", I said, "I'll just throw them out with the trash!" Then I remembered the program I heard once wherein the moderator said, "Don't throw the tax receipts in the trash because anyone could get your information and use it for nefarious purposes." So again I said, "Easy, I'll burn them" It was then I found out that burning slick paper took a long time and often left un-burned paper behind and also it became apparent that with all the stuff we had to burn we'd have to get a permit. In addition the chance of starting a forest fire was pretty good. So that route was out too. I called around to see if there was some kind of business who would burn paper for the average household, but I couldn't find one. This left me with a real dilemma of what to do with 26 years o stuff! So being the procrastinator that I am, I stacked all the boxes of IRS material
and promised myself I would figure out something, someday, but not right now. Now here's some of the other stuff I found in my garage's attic. Pushed to the back of the overhead was 24 years of Christmas decorations. Lights that wouldn't burn, glass bulbs, many of which were broken, and an old Christmas tree that needed to be tossed. There was a box of boating paraphernalia which included sailing charts, anchors, chain, boat cushions, an electric motor used for trolling, but not working at the present time. In three other boxes I found fishing equipment that was covered with spider webs, old hooks, and dried jars of power bait. In three other boxes I found old picture slides that couldn't be thrown away but would instead require us viewing each one in case it might have a treasure picture. All this time I was working from the back of my garage to the front and it was then I looked at what I had done. What I had done, was move everything from the garage overhead and placed it on the floor. Now I have lots of room in the top of my garage and no room for my car! It's obvious that I need help! I need someone who is not afraid to throw things away and whom I can trust to do the dirty deed and set up a big garage sale. We'll split any profit, but during the sale I want to be drinking coffee in downtown Kernville waiting to see my clean garage!

Water Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist Water. What comes to your mind when you hear "water"? Maybe it's a refreshing drink on a hot day when you are Schlensker terribly thirsty. Perhaps you think about a welcome shower of rain to moisten a parched land. It might be an invigorating frolic in a backyard swimming pool or at a resort that comes to mind. You might imagine or, if you happen to be in the right place, you might be able to look at our beautiful Lake Isabella. Water has taken on a very different face for many folks this summer. It's a terrifying face. Those are the people, who have lost a loved one to the waters of the river or the lake, or people, who have had a brush with danger or death through some illadvised antics in the water. Water has become for them a fully fearsome fluid, and we grieve with them over their losses, although it is unlikely that many of us can say, "I understand." In any case, we pray for their peace as they process their grief. Although the water has brought danger, we are profoundly thankful to God for all the water that has come our way in the past 9 months. It has wonder-

fully refreshed the earth in our neighborhood, and has been a boon for the agricultural endeavors in the valley below us. We'll enjoy the fruits, nuts and vegetables, whose growth it will boost. Water is a major concept in the Scriptures, too. Wateriness was the condition that prevailed on the whole earth in the beginning. And that water was the facilitator of all life on earth. It was very good. However, after a few centuries or millennia God in effect pressed the reset button and inundated the entire earth once more. This time the water had the same destructive effect, which was experienced by people in our community recently, only it was not just a few people, who lost their lives; everybody died in that flood except the ones on the ark. Water is one of God's greatest gifts to us. It sustains our physical lives here on earth. But we are also sustained spiritually by "living water" from Jesus, like He promised to the woman at the well in John 4. That "living water" is a gift from Him, and He gives it to us so we can share it with others. Jesus, Himself, said in John 7:38, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." Jesus flows His "living water" into us, and in order to bless others, He makes us leak! Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

History lesson part 1
Advantages of park living
Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist July 30, in 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed the Medicare bill into law. In the seminars, I have taught I show a photograph of the Thal signing ceremony where former President Truman received the very first Medicare Card. President Truman was the first president to propose such a program back in 1945. 19 million people ages 65 or older signed up that first year when it went into effect in 1966. Certain people with disabilities were added to the program in 1972 during the Nixon administration and then in 2003 President George W Bush signed into law the prescription drug benefit. The Bush law, Medicare Modernization Act, also gave birth to the Medicare Advantage plans as we know it today. Prior the most common cause of bankruptcy was medical expenses. On the same occasion that President Johnson signed the Medicare Act, he also signed the Medicaid bill. This program was funded by federal and state to assist with medical expenses for lowincome people. Over the years this has been expanded to cover more and more people. California chose to call their version of this program MediCal. During the Carter administration, in 1977 the Health Care Financing Administration was created to admin-
ister the Medicare program and coordinate with the state governments the Medicaid (Medi-Cal) programs. This department was later renamed the "Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services", but the abbreviation was "CMS", apparently one of the S's wasn't needed. Looking back at history, the elderly, and later the poor had no healthcare. It took government 20 years between Truman and Johnson to come out with a solution. Now, the 21st century, where we had an established health care system, it took President Obama to attempt to join his predecessors in fixing a problem that was not in need of a complete overhaul. Obamacare did work well in helping many people acquire health coverage, and for this my hat is off to him. However, the young and healthy for the most part did not and have not participated, so their monies never went into the pool. Therefore, there was inadequate funding, and now we are seeing increased premiums. Once again, this November I will see healthy people with individual plans drop out of the program, as rates are expected, by a national average, to increase 12.5 percent with the threat of an additional 12 percent looming if government funding is withheld to assist lower income people.

Matt Freeman Courier Columnist Here in the Kern River Valley there are several manufactured home parks. This is a common housing type throughout the Freeman Western United States and there are several advantages to this type of housing along with some restrictions. Today, we will layout some of each as we feature this common property type. If you own a home in a manufactured home park, oftentimes the park is either for all occupants including families with children or it is specifically designed and zoned for occupants that are 55 years old and older. Manufactured home parks are designed to provide affordable living at a fraction of the cost of owning both the home and the land, and are structured differently than owning a regular home. In a park the home owner owns the house itself but not the land it sits on. Yet, the land is not a lease; it is what is called an appurtenance of ownership. Basically meaning, the land the home is on, though not owned by the home owner, still comes with the home and has defined boundaries and uses, which are paid for by the home owner. The advantages of this arrangement in a manufactured home park for the homeowner typically include trash service, water, septic and sometimes other utilities. Also, there is usually a common area that is open for
>>>
use by all occupants of the park oftentimes including a pool and spa and other amenities. Another advantage is the fact that though the home owner is responsible for maintaining the individual lot their home as specified by the park guidelines, the rest of the park is professionally maintained. Parks range from the simple and small to the very large and often have trees, sidewalks and landscaping, all are included and do not have to be maintained by the home owner. Some even have full time staff and security if the park is in a larger city, resort or tourist area. Park living is typically very easy going and comfortable especially in 55 and older parks designed as retirement communities. The disadvantages include having to pay a set monthly park fee for these services and features that you would not have to pay if you had a home on its own land. Another feature of parks is the park rules and regulation, which some love and others do not enjoy. Park rules and regulations are designed to maximize the quiet enjoyment and property uses for each park resident. Some love this arrangement, which typically guarantee that the parks are well kept and managed however others prefer to have a home with its own land which does not have these rules in place. It all depends on the individual homeowner and what is best for them and what their personal preferences are. Matt Freeman is a realtor with Freeman’s Lakeside Realty 760-379-5915 or 760-223-0880.

not only to a relationship but to one's own mental and physical health. So, take this day to let go of all the anger and make up with someone you have quarreled with. In many cultures kissing on the cheek is a sign of respect and friendship.

Group of misfit heroes returns Amy Anderson Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2” (PG-13) - Our unlikely group of misfit heroes returns with a follow-up space adventure, this time taking a fresh look at family and friendship across the universe. Fans of the first film will be more than satisfied, as this sequel keeps all the irreverence and playfulness of Volume 1, while deepening our ties to these charming characters. And I dare new fans not to be hooked after watching the first few minutes of the film, which heavily features an adorable Baby Groot dancing amidst a stylish fight sequence. Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax and Rocket probe Peter's origins on his father's home planet as the aptly named Ego, Quill's dad, while struggling to define and protect the ties that bind their own family bonds. Yondu -- always the bounty hunter -- returns with piercing secrets of his own. Add this to your Awesome Movies Mixtape. “Kill Switch” (R) - In the not-toodistant future, Alterplex -- a power company -- has installed a tower reaching the heavens.

Echo, as the other Earth is called, to install a device that will equalize the power surge -- at least that's the story from the power company.This film started with a great idea and just tried a bit too hard. Great swaths are filmed from almost a first-person shooter perspective, and it ends up being neither compelling storytelling nor heart-pumping video-game action. “Scales: Mermaids Are Real” (PG) - Hasn't every young girl dreamed that she was secretly a mermaid? Well, for Siren Phillips (Emmy Perry), it's true. As her 12th birthday approaches, she finds that she's "transitioning," and there are mermaids all around to help her through. Unfortunately, new friend Adam Wilts (Jack Grazer) has a dad who is hunting mermaids, and he's after Siren! Don't worry, though, because the kids and the town come together to protect her, allowing Siren to become her true self. It's a sweet and sappy mermaid story that kids of a certain age will like, but there isn't much to keep adults tuned in.

Kyle Orr, CDFW Courier Release The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is conducting an art contest to select the design for the state's 2017-2018 upland game bird stamp. The California Upland Game Bird Stamp Art Contest is open to all U.S. residents ages 18 and over. Entries will be accepted from Oct. 30 through Nov.15. This year's stamp will feature the Wilson's snipe (Gallinago delicate), a charismatic, diminutive migratory game bird. The Wilson's snipe relies on its long, straight beak to forage for invertebrates in muddy wetlands from the coast to the high Sierra Nevada.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A change that you'd hoped for is down the line. But you still need to be patient until more explanations are forthcoming. Continue to keep your enthusiasm in check. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your social life expands as new friends come into your life. But while you're having fun, your practical side also sees some positive business potential within your new circle. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your workplace situation continues to improve. Look for advantages you might have missed while all the changes were going on around you. That trusted colleague can help. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Resist the urge to hunker down in your bunker until things ease up. Instead, get rid of that woe-is-me attitude by getting up and getting out to meet old friends and make new ones. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Now that you're back enjoying the spotlight again, you should feel reenergized and ready to take on the challenge of bringing those big, bold plans of yours to completion. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A former friend would like to repair a relationship you two once enjoyed. Your positive response could have an equally positive impact on your life. Think about it.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Resist making impulsive decisions. Stay on that steady course as you continue to work out workplace problems. Be patient. All will soon be back in balance. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might feel confident about taking a promising offer, but continue to be alert for what you're not being told about it. Don't fret. Time is on your side. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) People dear to you might be planning a way to show appreciation for all you've done for them. Accept the honor graciously. Remember: You deserve it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Congratulations. Your self-confidence is on the rise. This could be a good time to tackle those bothersome situations you've avoided both at home and at work. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You feel obligated to return a favor. (Of course, you do.) But heed advice from those close to you and do nothing until you know for sure what's being asked of you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your loving reassurance helped revive a once-moribund relationship. But be wary of someone who might try to do something negative to reverse this positive turn of events.

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 03/19/2004. 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.

Deed of Trust Recorded 03/30/2004 as Instrument No. 0204068604 in book ---, page--- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Kern County, California, Date of Sale: 09/08/2017 at 10:00 AM. Place of Sale: At the front entrance to the City Hall, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California 93301. Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $149,126.70. NOTICE OF TRUSTEEES SALE THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE.

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 prop-
erty. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: July 26, 2017.

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: 5010 Emilia Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308, A.P.N.: 365-361-09-00. 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 $360,628.29. 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 2017-00491-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: August 4, 2017.
