After the fire

BAER teammoves intoblaze areaStaff report/U.S. Forest ServiceKern River Courier

The town of Riverkern and areas of theSequoia National Forest northeast andnorthwest of the small community were thescene of a rapid and devastating firestormthree weeks ago. Eight homes weredestroyed and over 16,000 forest acres wereburned. Now that the fire has been fully con-tained, a special team has moved in to assessthe damage to the forest and recommendquick rehabilitation procedures. After theflames have died down in forest fires,threats still remain.

Heavy rain this fall could bring landslidesor rockslides. The "fire-flood cycle" is a phe-nomenon well-known in Southern California.Fires burn off vegetation in the water runoffareas (watersheds) and the subsequent rapidrunoff and increased sediment is washed intostreams, causing mudslides and rockfalls.

The group that deals with this is called aBAER (Burned Area Emergency Response)Team. BAER teams have done much post-firework in California.

Citizens Committee votedout by cemetery district

Kern River Courier

The Kern River Valley Public Cemetery District unani-mously repealed the controversial Resolution #119 at itsAug. 17 meeting, effectively dissolving the Citizen’sAdvisory Committee and its board set up to help coordinatewith federal and state agencies.

This action puts “coordination” on hold. The Kern RiverValley Public Cemetery District is waiting for an expectedcommunication from Kern County Counsel on the coordina-tion issue. The Kern County Grand Jury, seated this pastJuly, is set to consider citizen complaints as well.

Resolution #118 was left in place, permitting the possib-lity of the cemetery board seeking coordination in thefuture.

Animal protection group has new vetMarcela FreerksSpecial to the Courier

The R.E.V.A. group (the acronym means“Responsible Ethical Volunteers forAnimals”) has lined up a veterinarian to helpout at the proposed low-cost spay/neuterclinic.

Dr. Kendra Jiannuzzi is making herselfacquainted with the pets of our valley. Shehas started helping Dr. Vicky Boyer at theKernville Animal Hospital, and once the clin-ic starts operating, she will be available asneeded.

Dr. Kendra believes that, because she loves

animals, such a serviceis not only importantfor people, but alsoabsolutely necessary forreduction of the over-population of pets. Shewas saddened by themisery she saw whileworking in San Diego-area shelters - whichare pretty much repre-sentative of most shelters statewide.

When Dr. Kendra first came to the valley,

Rod MiddleworthKern River Courier Columnist

Recently I was reminiscingabout the old days and differ-ences that have come aboutwith theadvances oftechnology. I'venoticed that theheart yearns forsimpler timesand a slowerpace. Here, inno particularorder, are someexamples of“back when.”

Before automatic transmis-sions our cars had a stick shifton the floor. If done properly,the male driver could find him-self “accidentally” brushing theknee of his winsome date whileshifting. It was a start!

Vegetables were alwaysfresh. There were no frozenfoods. The first frozen food weever saw was Birds-Eye atSafeway. We had to eat thefrozen stuff right away becausewe only had an ice box (it usedblock ice for cooling).

A big change from timespast was replacement of theoutside toilet. The outhouse satoutside in the weather andcaptured the temperature ofthe hour. On cold days puttingyour bare behind on the icecold seat was a real waker-upper. During the winter wehad to dig a path to the damnthing before we could use it.

We had no Charmin andinstead used pages from oldSears catalogs.

We had a dime store intown that actually sold thingsfor a dime. It was also theplace to go for a cherry phos-phate.

When we washed clothes weused a wringer washer. Afterthe wash cycle you fed the wetclothes through two rollersthat squeezed water out of thefabric. There was a big buttonon top of the wringer that youcould smack and would releasethe wringer action if you acci-dentally caught your hand inthe rollers. Today the authori-ties would have a fit if storessold a machine like that.

I remember when we got ourfirst portable radio. It usedeight D-size batteries forpower and weighed about 4pounds. It was the size of a boxof saltine crackers. We weren'tallowed to use it much becausethe batteries wore out toosoon. Most of the time we justlooked at it.

Yep, those were the “goodold days.” Just think, somedaytoday will be the good olddays.

I wonder what we'll remem-ber?

Letter to the CourierDear Kern River Courier,

There has been much talk about "our" Saturdays' Farmers'Market at the Indian Culture Center at French Gulch. Hopefully thetalk is not intending to destroy our efforts for success.

Word has gotten back to us that we are closed down, that wedon't have our permits, etc. Not true, we are open. We have all ourrequired permits. We are a U.S. Department of Agriculture CertifiedFarmers' Market. We have our certificate to operate from KernCounty Department of Agriculture and we operate under a SpecialUse Permit with the U.S. Forest Service - Sequoia National Forest,the only one anywhere with this kind of partnership. The ForestService is well aware of everything we do, and assist and encourageus along the way.

There has been criticism of (the) signs at the highway (of whichwe have no control). This has been a problem for many years, notjust since the Farmers' Market started. There are restrictions. Nohand painted signs and permission to add signs must be gotten.Designs must be approved. One sign that was approved was stolen.It is very complicated and regulated. Many departments of trans-portation are involved along with the State, County, and ForestService.

Our local Forest Service has made every effort to solve the prob-lem, in fact, one solution is in the making now. We apologize for theinconvenience and appreciate your patience.

We, the Kern River Paiute Council that manage the Nuui CunniIndian Cultural Center, are volunteers and we continue to work tomake and keep it a special place of interest to the Indian communi-ties, locals, and visitors. We are a non-profit; we belong to theChambers of Commerce, KRV Museum, KRV Art Association, andsupport many organizations and activities, assist families and caus-es, and participate in valley functions. Funding comes from ourleasing the facility for activities, fundraisers, donations, our Friendsof the Center program, craft classes, etc. and grants. We are grow-ing and it takes more and more funds to operate. We are responsi-ble for all maintenance and operations and are continually makingimprovements.

The Farmers' Market was originated to help with the expenses.We are not going to let it fail. We encourage growers, artists,crafters, etc. to please join us, we need you with us.

We don't want false information to deter anyone on our efforts tomake it successful.

We appreciate the support we have received and strive to givenecessary needs to everyone.

Patricia Malone HenryChairwomanKern River Paiute Council

Up to this year, I've foundAMBRO Ant Block very effectivein keeping ants out of my house.But, I wonderedabout its toxicityand whether theremight be a “green-er” alternative. Itsactive ingredient isHydramethylnon,which is especiallytoxic to fish. EPAclassifieshydramethylnonas a possiblehuman carcinogen.

Boric acid is a good alternative.And it probably comes from near-by Trona just outside of Ridgecrest.Borax is a salt of boric acid minedfrom Trona's dry Searles Lake.Boric acid was first registered inthe U.S. as an insecticide in 1948for control of cockroaches, ter-mites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish,and many other insects. It acts as astomach poison affecting theinsects' metabolism, and the drypowder is abrasive to the insects'exoskeleton.

Sugar-loving ants, such ashouse ants, are the easiest to con-

trol by using baits. Boric acid is generally consid-

ered to be safe to use in householdkitchens to control cockroachesand ants. Homemade ant bait canbe made by dissolving 1 teaspoonpowdered boric acid and 10 tea-spoons sugar into 2 cups of water;this mixture can then be absorbedinto cotton balls which are leftnear ant trails. This reportedly willbe carried back into the ants' nest,killing any ants that eat it, poten-tially destroying the entire colony.

Easy-to-make Bait for Proteinand Grease-Loving Ants: Mixtogether 2 ounces or 4Tablespoons of peanut butter with3 ounces or 6 Tablespoons ofhoney and add 3/4 teaspoon ofboric acid.

Boric acid is generally consid-ered to be not much more toxicthan table salt, But boric acid ispoisonous if taken internally orinhaled in large quantities (as littleas a fifth of an ounce). So, put itwhere kids and pets won't betempted.

Greener way to deal with antsLiving Green

Mike Mencarini Kern River Courier columnist

Well, here we are in the DogDays of Summer. The lake levelis receding, the algae is usingup its share ofthe lake’s oxy-gen, and thefish, it seems,are on holiday.Have no fear,deep water isclean and near,but mostly forthose with aboat. Recent dis-cussions withsome local bass anglers revealedschools of shad and schools ofcrappie showing in 35 feet ofwater. With the lake tempera-ture being very warm and theoxygen level being at its lowpoint, shore fishing should beslow except for catfish, carp andbluegill (if you can find them.)

However ... the upper river isawesome.

The upper river from thecemetery to Brush Creek isstocked full of better-than-aver-age rainbow trout. The upper

river, with its cool water andlow flow, offers the solitary flyfisherman, a couple of buddies,or mom, dad and the wholefamily, a safe and very enjoyableway to spend their recreationaltime.

I haven’t left out the lowerriver. There are lots of fish fromSandy Flat to Live Oak day useareas, but a word of caution.Isabella is an agricultural lake.The water is used mostly forfarming. The flow is up, whichmakes certain sections of thelower river more challengingand should be used by thosepossessing knowledge of white-water or a real good knowledgeof the lower Kern.

So grab the rods and reels,your buddies, or the family, andgo and have a great time fish-ing.

Please be safe and don’t litter.

Previews of new DVDs by DNA Smith

Released the week of Aug. 30:

PICK OF THE WEEKUnless you're champing at the bit

to get "Marmaduke" on DVD, therereally aren't any notable moviereleases this week. However, we arein the Back to School season, so toget you in the mood,here's a list of someof classic schoolmovies you mightwant to revisit:

"Goodbye, Mr.Chips" (Unrated) --Robert Donat wonthe Best Actor Oscarin 1939 (beating outJames Stewart,Clark Gable andLaurence Olivier) forhis performance asthe headmaster ofan English boardingschool. "GoodbyeMr. Chips" tells thestory of Mr.Chipping, spanninghis 50 years at the fictional school,from his first day as an unsure Latinteacher to a wizened old headmas-ter beloved by thousands. Theenchanting Greer Garson made herfirst film appearance as Chipping'syoung wife, who tragically dies inchildbirth. Although the film can bea little heavy-handed with sentimen-tality, it is a heartwarming andentertaining movie fromHollywood's Golden Age that stillholds up today.

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High"(Rated R) -- Before John Hughesshowed up and ruined the teenmovie genre (yeah, I said it!), therewas "Fast Times at RidgemontHigh" -- a film more true-to-life thananything that hack ever churnedout. It also launched the careers ofCameron Crowe, Amy Heckerling,Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold andJennifer Jason Leigh. And let's faceit, most guys from my generationsaw that movie at least 10 times justfor that scene with Phoebe Catescoming out of the swimming poolwearing that awesome red bikini.

"Rock 'N' Roll High School"

(Rated PG) -- The Ramones bringdown Vince Lombardi High Schoolwith the power of their rock in thislow-budget Roger Corman cult clas-sic. The acting is horrible, the jokesare cheesy, but it doesn't matter. Themovie has such a frantic, anarchicenergy to it that you can't stopwatching.

"National Lampoon's AnimalHouse" (Rated R) --The movie thatspawned a thousandhigh-school cafeteriafood fights and madeJohn Belushi a moviestar, "Animal House"is the greatest collegecomedy ever made. Itsstory about a fraterni-ty of losers, slobs andoutcasts gettingrevenge on the snootyrich kids has beenused as a template forhundreds of films eversince.

"Back to School"(Rated PG-13) -- Howcan I do a Back to

School feature and NOT include thisRodney Dangerfield comedy clas-sic? Rodney stars as ThorntonMelon, a rich guy who returns tocollege in order to get closer to hisson. He's so rich he gets NASA andKurt Vonnegut Jr. to do his home-work for him. But Melon's hijinkshave a price, and he learns there aresome things money can't buy.

Saturday“Divided Highgway”

By Cindy Elavsky

Q: One of my favorite realityshows is "The Real Housewives"series on Bravo. I especially loveBethenny Frankel on the NewYork series, and I wondered ifthat show and/or Bethennywould be back? -- Michele M.,Bel Air, Md.

A: I spoke with Bethenny recently,and she told me she has noplans to return to the "RealHousewives." In herwords: "I very highly doubtI will go back to'Housewives.' I don't seeany reason or upside forthat." Besides, Bethenny ispretty busy these days as anew mom, a newlywedand promoting her "Bodyby Bethenny" workoutDVD.

And if you are wonder-ing how she shed all thatbaby weight, it's simple:"[The weight] came off afterward,because I wasn't extreme about diet-ing nor had I binged while pregnant.Just be balanced before, during andafter, and treat your diet like a bankaccount, and you will have no issue."

***Q: I really love the addition of

Lindsay Pulsipher on "TrueBlood," but this makes medoubt the potential re-emer-gence of "FlashForward," sinceLindsay played teenaged Charliein one of the final scenes' flash-forwards. Should I give up onthe dream of "FlashForward"being picked up by another net-work? -- Fred J., via e-mail

A: I am sad to report that I thinkyes, the dream might be over. Manyfans, including myself, were drawninto the exciting series and hadhoped that maybe TNT or AMC

would save it from extinction. WhenI asked Lindsay about the possibility,she wasn't super hopeful of a"FlashForward" resurrection.

"There hasn't been any talk ofthat, that I know of, unfortunately,"Lindsay tells me. "I know a lot of peo-ple really loved that show, and I thinkit had amazing potential to be reallygreat next season. Unfortunately, Ihave not heard anything, but you

never know -- if anothercable network wants topick it up, that would beamazing!"

***READERS: A few

months back, a readerwrote in to ask who co-starred with MarietteHartley in the series ofcute, bickering hus-band-and-wife com-mercials. I created acontest asking youreaders to help, and

from those who answered correctly,five would win an autographed copyof Mariette Hartley's autobiography,"Breaking the Silence." After siftingthrough hundreds of submissions, Ihave randomly drawn five winners:Diane L. of Whitesboro, N.Y.; Trish C.of Waldorf, Md.; Barbara C. of PalmSprings, Calif.; Edward A. ofWoodbury, Conn.; and Gordon D.(via e-mail). They, along with many ofyou who wrote in, knew the answerwas James Garner. Thank you all forentering!

Harry P. ThalKern River Courier Columnist

While on vacation, I had theopportunity to do something I rarelyhave time to do otherwise – watchtelevision. At home I do get to seemy favoriteshows, but theyare recorded so Ican breezethrough thecommercials.The hotels don'tprovide a TiVo,so I saw com-mercials I nor-mally would bezipping past.

One category of commercials iscoming from attorneys. The com-mercial was seeking people whohave either died or had a bad reac-tion to a medication for lung cancer.Now, I am in favor of people beingcompensated for having harmbrought on them. But, I also under-stand that attorneys receive aboutone third of settlements. As the adsimply that there are compensationfunds for victims of this medication,and there must be thousands of thesesaid "victims", we are talking hugeamounts of money.

Last time a looked, only the gov-ernment can print money, so thepharmaceutical companies must begetting these tens of millions of dol-lars from someplace… the high costof medication.

I am old enough to rememberwhen you could get an over-the-

counter medication in an easy to usebottle. Just twist, and you can takeyour medication. Today, we mustfight through layers of seals, plastics,and warnings to get to the medica-tion, because some sickos contami-nated medicine a few decades ago.The product manufacturers first hadto recall their products from theshelves. This was costly. They had todesign and implement new packag-ing – another huge cost. Then theysettled some lawsuits, had to restockthe shelves, and finally, you could getyour medicine again. Even brandsnot contaminated saw the "writingon the wall" and also protected them-selves and the consumer with newimproved safe packaging. Onceagain, they don't have money print-ing presses.

The doctor's office has their ownneed to spend money needlessly toprotect them from being prosecuted.Was the lab test really necessary, ordid your physician just need to havethe backup support in your file incase you sue for malpractice?

So, when you are charged outra-geous amounts for that tiny little pill,remember, your prescription costsare contributing to a fund "in case"there are legal issues in the future.

St. Sherrian's meets at theKernville Oddfellows Hall, 50 Tobias Street

Kernville this past week. These multi-agency, multi-disciplined resource spe-cialists are assembled to assess post firewatershed response, fire damage, firesuppression efforts and prepare mitiga-tion measures. The team consists ofhydrologists, soil scientists, geologists,Geographic Information System (GIS)specialists, archaeologists, botanists,wildlife specialists, aquatic biologists,hazardous materials specialists, engi-neering/road/trail specialists andforesters.

Treatments are recommended to mini-mize damage from rainfall on the burnedarea and to protect homes as well asroads and other infrastructure. Some ofthe treatments might be heli-mulching,contour log felling, straw wattles, instal-lation of safety signing, clearing cul-verts, installing additional drainagestructures, repairing roads and storm-proofing trails.

When the fire is over, the danger tonearby homes and property is not. BAERteams are there to try to limit flood dam-age before it starts.

Jesse Martinez of R.E.V.A. took her to visit Dr.Vicki's clinic. What a surprise they experiencedwhen Dr. Vicki and Dr. Kendra realized that theyattended the same class at Ohio State UniversityCollege of Veterinary Medicine, where they kneweach other rather well!

Dr. Kendra recently traveled to Perris, Calif. tothe professional medical outfitting company outtit-ting the mobile clinic. There she helped properlydesign the necessary medical equipment inside.

The final cost estimate of the completedclinic is to be about $120,000. The majority ofthis money still needs to be raised. Variousfundraisers are helping to accomplish this.The next one is Saturday, Aug. 21. It’s called“R.E.V.A.'s 2nd Annual Fund Raiser Dance"and it will be held at the Senior Center in LakeIsabella from 6 to 10 p.m. (See the CourierCalendar on page 2 for details.)

Donations are also being requested. Your dona-tions are tax-deductible. Contact Jesse Martinez at(760) 378-3101 or write to Jessecritter@aol.com.

The clinic’s non-profit status has been approvedwith Aug. 28 as the effective date. The group justneeds the infusion of funds to give them a greenlight, and from there it will take only 6-8 weeks forthe clinic to be fully operable.
