Kern County Probation Courier Report

Felony and repeatmisdemeanor DUIoffenders are over repre-sented in traffic crashesinvolving alcohol andother drugs, often withtragic results. A grantfrom the California Officeof Traffic Safety to theKern County ProbationDepartment will be mak-ing sure that these dan-gerous offenders arecomplying with all courtorders.

Driving under theinfluence (DUI) continuesto be a major traffic safe-ty concern for the KernCounty law enforcementagencies.

The Kern CountyProbation Departmentplaces a high priority onlowering deaths andinjury due to DUI relatedvehicle collisions withinKern County. Repeatfelony DUI probationersare among the most seri-ous offenders andrequire intensive supervi-sion. The ability to focuson this high-risk groupthrough the DUIOffender Grant hasallowed the ProbationDepartment to utilizestrategies and activitiesaimed at reducing re-offense, and increasingcompliance with proba-tion terms that wouldotherwise have beenimpossible with average

caseloads of several hun-dred offenders," saidChief Probation OfficerT.R. Merickel.

An older couplewas sitting on abench in RiversidePark in Kernvilletalking and watch-ing the river go by.This couple wasus: me and mywife reminiscingabout earlier days.The days when she was my 'motor-cycle mama' and I was her 'motorcy-cle pop.'

For a dozen years we criss-crossed the western United States.At first in a Honda 90 and then on aHonda 350 and then to a Honda 500and finally a Honda Gold Wing1000.

It all started when I agreed tokeep a neighbor's Honda 90Christmas present in my garage. Irode it around the block and decidedI had to have one. Two months laterI did! With helmet and jacket, mywife and I rode that Honda in thehills east of Delano. It was only awhile until the Honda wasn't bigenough and we bought the 350.With that and my son's 175, he and Itoured California and Oregon. Notlong after that we traded the 350 fora Honda 500.

With the new Honda I touredBaja California clear to the tip withtwo friends. Later on in that year, wejoined a group of 500 riders on a1000 mile trek of California over athree-day weekend. With a sorefanny and vibrating handlebars Idecided to upgrade again this tine to

Things I have noticed...

Motorcycle mom and popthe 1000 cc Gold Wing.

By now my wife was used tomotorcycles and accompanied mefor 25 of the 35 thousand miles weput on the Gold Wing in the nextthree years.

For the reader who is not familiarwith motorcycles, a Honda GoldWing was a plush, smooth riding,fast accelerating bike of awesomespeed. That bike had saddlebags anda trunk with a backrest. With theseadditions my wife could ride in com-fort.

In the last year we added a trailerpulled by the bike with a specialhitch that made this an easy pull.During the last year we rode, wemade a trip of 3000 miles in threeweeks stopping at campgrounds andmotels. With the trailer we had allour camping gear, extra clothes, atent, pillows and food.

On this trip in August we went toYellowstone staying in a rustic cabin.That first night it snowed and wewere marooned for the next threedays. After the melt, we rode allthrough Yellowstone stopping inawe of the magnificent sights wesaw. Including Wyoming, we spenttime in Idaho, Utah, Colorado,Arizona and back to California.

Shortly after that and in advanc-ing years, we decided it was time tohang up our helmets and leave twowheeling to the younger generation.The days of Motorcycle Mama andPop are over but the memorieslinger on.

Direct link offered for water rate disputesPat Connell, field representative for Kern County First District Supervisor Mick

Gleason, has fielded several complaints from water company customers regardingtheir bills. This is not a County matter. The County has no jurisdiction over waterrates. The California Public Utilities Commission is responsible for water rates.They have a Consumer Affairs Branch that handles disputes from customers.

The link to that branch is: cpuc.ca.gov/puc/aboutus/Divisions/CSID/Consumer+Affairs/. The Supervisor’s office believes that if more people called directly to theCPUC, it would get their attention focused on this Valley.

David Cook’s works featured at MuseumIn the Kern Valley Museum’s Art Room, in Kernville, for January, are David

Cook’s works using acrylics and water colors to present urban landscapes. Muchof his renderings come from natural or urban places. He is drawn to geometricshapes, structure and the play of color and light.

Convenient way to make child support paymentsParents can now pay their child support in cash at thousands of MoneyGram

locations throughout California. Previously, parents paying cash could only do soby visiting the Bakersfield child support branch. Those who stand to benefit themost by paying cash through MoneyGram are the self-employed, seasonal workersand those who don’t engage in traditional banking. There are approximately 6,200MoneyGram locations in California that provide bill payment services. To make apayment through Moneygram, parents will need their personal Participant IDNumber and the group “Receive Code 14630.” MoneyGram charges child supportcustomers a $1.99 convenience fee. For many, that is less than the cost of the gasneeded to drive to the child support office. Payments can take up to three days topost, so parents are advised to plan accordingly. For more information, call PhyllisNance at 661-868-8480 or email [email protected].

Dan Schlensker,Courier Columnist

In my last col-umn, I asserted thewrongness of usingeuthanasia, abortionor assisted suicideas a solution tohuman suffering,problems or incon-veniences.

This week I think about the peoplewho have experienced or participat-ed in these practices. Now the "vic-tims" of euthanasia or assisted sui-cide can certainly have no regrets,since they are gone. Nonetheless, theadministrators of euthanasia or thosethat assist in suicide might havesome feelings of guilt or remorse.

However, the mothers and fathers,who have resorted to the solution ofabortion (whether or not the moth-er's life was at stake) are often strick-en with profound shame and guiltover the taking of their child. Therecan be no doubt in anybody's mindthat the fertilized egg in the womb ofan impregnated woman will turn outto be a human baby. In the history ofthe world, there has never been any-thing but human babies born ofhuman women! These mothers andfathers know that what they havetaken was in reality a little humanperson ... and of their own flesh andblood!

One unwantedly pregnant womanthought there'd be only relief overthe removal of her womb's content,but after her abortion she was over-

Green: God’s forgivness of lifecome with grief and pierced withguilt. On the day her baby was tohave been born, she was too sick togo to work! The somewhat sur-prised father of an unintended babyhad decided and was prepared tosupport its mother and their child.When the mother announced to himthat she'd had an abortion, he wasfilled with anger and resentment,because the baby who had beentaken was his own blood and he'dalready felt his responsibility towardthat baby. Abortion leaves in itswake a trail of guilt, shame andregret.

There's good news for such folks,though! That good news is thatGod's forgiveness applies to suchmistakes and their accomplices, theycan be forgiven!

Jesus, the innocent, sinless Savior,spoke from the cross to His Fatherabout His executioners, "Father, for-give them; for they do not knowwhat they are doing" (Luke 23:34).That same forgiveness applies toanyone and everyone, who trustsJesus for the forgiveness of all theirmisbehaviors.

There is no unforgivable sin,except the one that rejects the for-giveness that Jesus won on the crossand offers freely to whomever willtrust Him. And that's yet anotherfacet of God's rich and graciousprovidence of which we might bereminded as we see the greeningaround us!

Fishing still good despite droughtKern River Outdoors

Matt FreemanCourier Columnist

It's anotherbeautiful weekhere in the KernRiver Valley! Asyou all know, wecurrently are indrought condi-tions for the areaand I wanted totouch on a couple of ways to actu-ally take advantage of that whendoing outdoor activities like hunt-ing and fishing.

Animals have patterns that arepredictable a lot of the time andthere are ways to know how theywill react to certain environmentalchanges. Locally, the fishing is stillquite good despite the water condi-tions but the fishing is differentfrom what it usually is this time ofyear and that is the key. Due towarm temps, the largemouth bassare already in their pre-spawnmode, which is not usually until abit later in the year. The same istrue for the crappie and trout. Inyears past, the trout always havestaged at the mouth of the river inthe spring. This year that may stillbe the case. It depends on howmuch water we end up getting. Thekey factor is, they are going to tryand stage no matter what and thatis what you can take advantage of.

The way to take advantage ofthese factors as a fisherman is tobasically fish a couple monthsahead of what you usually would.

Trout are up shallow right nowbecause of the water being cool, sotarget them from shore or from aboat with trolling gear. The bassand crappie are deep on structureand getting ready to move shal-lower.

There have been some recentcatches of nice largemouth bassaround the big trees and stumps inthe lake and also along submergedstructures in 10 to 15 feet of water.Once again, an early spring pat-tern that we are seeing right now,because normally largemouth basswould be stacked up deep in largeschools and hunting shad andtrout. The crappie are doing thesame thing. You need a sonar tofind them right now but they are inlarge schools and they are shallow-er than they usually are this time ofyear. Find 'em, and you are goingto find a huge concentration ofthem and it will be game on!

Fish can't tell time, but theweather tells them the time andwhen the weather is different fromnormal, their instincts make themadjust accordingly. This patternmay unwind and I hope it does.Hopefully, we get a long Februaryand March full of rain and snowbut for now...next time you go fish,do what you would do if it wasalready April or even May. Trustme, you will catch some fish!

Performances elevate the film

Eddie Redmayne in "The Theory ofEverything"


Sam StruckhoffCourier Contributor

PICKS OF THE WEEK“The Theory of Everything”

(PG-13) -- Renowned scientistStephen Hawking is best known asthe man who revolutionized the waywe think about time and space, evenas a debilitating disease left himunable to move or speak on his own.This biopic spans many decades, butfocuses primarily on the romancebetween two brilliant Cambridgestudents -- Hawking (EddieRedmayne) and his first wife, Jane(Felicity Jones) -- and their struggleas Hawking's health starts to robhim of life's simplest things.

By keeping the film centered onthis story of young love and thehardships that assail it, "The Theoryof Everything" has more to sayabout human emotion than it doesabout black holes or quantummechanics. The performances byRedmayne and Jones elevate thefilm.

“The Interview” (R) -- JamesFranco plays a charismatically stupidcelebrity interviewer, and SethRogen is his best friend/producerwho grows concerned that they'llnever be taken seriously. It just turnsout that Kim Jong-Un, the supremeleader of North Korea, is a huge fanof Franco's show and wants aninterview. The U.S. government (rep-resented here by Lizzy Kaplan)presses the two stooges into usingthe interview to covertly kill the dic-tator.

This goofball comedy was thespark that sent threats flyingbetween nations and argumentsraging over free speech. Even withall the hoopla, the movie is more"Pineapple Express" than "Dr.Strangelove." You'll laugh, but thisisn't the movie that breaks the moldwith profundity or global awareness.

“St. Vincent” (PG-13) -- Vincent(Bill Murray) is an anti-social oldman who might have a heart of goldburied under his nasty rejoinders,laziness, perpetual hangover andscary gambling debts. He's throwninto babysitting for his new neigh-bors, a sweet single mom (MelissaMcCarthy, not as an over-the-topscrewball) and her picked-uponyoung son (Jaeden Lieberher).Vincent lets the boy into his world ofracetrack gambling, strippers anddive bars, which somehow helpsboth of them grow as people.Murray fits into this role like it wasmeant for him (shockingly, it wasn't),keeping things even with the movie'ssuper-sappy sentimental side.

Health insurance availability, Part 2Health Insurance Matters

Harry P. ThalCourier Columnist

Last week I dis-cussed the availabili-ty of Individualhealth insuranceplans, and with notedexceptions, that thedeadline for purchas-ing individual andfamily plans is justtwo weeks from now. Most individu-als without insurance will be chargeda penalty, payable when they file their2014 tax returns this April.

Medicare is an exception. Forenrollment purposes, Medicare worksvery differently than individual plansfor those under 65. Not all peoplequalify for this Federal health pro-gram. The first group are those underage 65 who have been disabled underSocial Security for two years. Theyare eligible in the 25th month of dis-ability, with enrollment normally auto-matic. Their card arrives in the mail inthe 22nd month. Certain other condi-tions, such as end stage renal diseaseor Lou Gehrig's Disease do not have awaiting period.

For most people, Medicare willstart when they turn 65. The currentretirement age for people receivingSocial Security benefits is age 66.However, for a reduced amount, peo-ple can elect to receive Social Securityat age 62. So, those who are receivingSocial Security retirement checks willautomatically receive their MedicareCard in the mail about 3 monthsbefore their birth month. My birthdayin May 29. So, May is my birth month

and my Medicare started May 1. As Idid not sign up for early SocialSecurity benefits, I had to enroll man-ually. If I had been receiving SocialSecurity benefits, my Medicare IDcard would have been mailed to meby February 1, 90 days beforeMedicare would have started.

As I needed to enroll manually, Ihad three options. I could go to mylocal Social Security office, I couldhave called Social Security 1-800-772-1213 (this is the Federal agencyresponsible for Medicare enrollments)or I could enroll online atSocialSecurity.Gov/medicareonly.Local people in the valley can also callor come in to my office to enroll; afree service we provide.

By design, Medicare does not pro-vide "full coverage". There are manyintentional holes in the program.Originally designed to be affordable,the costs of health care have risendramatically since the plan's inceptionin 1966. Today a $1,260 deductible togo into the hospital is beyond manypeople's reach, and a 20 percent co-pay can add up to hundreds of dollars.There is no "maximum out of pocket"on this program.

As the costs of having Medicareonly can be a financial hardship, thereare several programs available to helpthe consumer. These programs alsohave their own time table, which Ishall discuss next week.

Unclear title can ruin your day!Talking About Real Estate

Matt FreemanCourier Columnist

Every fewweeks or so I liketo do a little arti-cle about theoften unconsid-ered part of anyreal estate trans-action, theescrow and title.In the years I have been a realestate agent, I have run into sev-eral situations that are scarywhen it comes to title issues.However, theworst thing isthe fact thatthey couldhave been eas-ily prevented.

One of thebiggest issues Ihave seen andI am sure every real estate agenthas seen is someone wanting tosell a piece of property that theydo not legally own. Surprised?Don't be, it happens all of thetime.

Let me explain what escrowand title do. Escrow is a neutral3rd party that holds all funds fora transaction and makes sure thateverything is done legally per fed-eral, state and local law. It hasother roles but that is the biggest.Title, which usually is ordered andcompleted in an escrow office,concerns the property itself, whoowns it, and title issues thereof.

See why they are so important?If you read all of my articles

and get nothing from themexcept this, listen up. Don't everdo a real estate transaction with-out escrow and title. Whetheryou are using a real estate agentor not. People often will not doan escrow for two reasons, theyare too cheap to want to pay forit or they have something to hide,often both.

A quick true example of whyto do things the right way: PartyA wants to sell vacant land toParty B. Both agree to a selling

price that isway belowmarket value.Party B sees agreat deal.Party B gives acashier's checkto Party A andParty B takes

full possession of the property.They want to grade the land andre-sell the property as an invest-ment. So Party B spends thou-sands on grading and improve-ments and then puts the land onthe market. Real estate agent liststhe land, finds a buyer, dealenters escrow. Guess what?Escrow says Party B does notown the land nor did Party Aever own it! Someone just gotripped off. Do escrow and title!

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) All that flattery andfawning shouldn't affect any decision you have tomake. Keep your focus on the facts and ignore all thehyperbole, especially if it gets uncomfortably person-al.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovineinstincts are on the mark about that "favor" you'rebeing asked to do. Agree to nothing unless you get afull explanation -- which you would check out first, ofcourse.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A somewhat unset-tled recent period should give way to a smoother timegoing through the week. Use this quieter time tocatch up on matters you might have had to let slide.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Feeling a little con-fused is understandable with all those mixed mes-sages. Take time to list the questions you have. Thenpresent them and insist on answers that make sense.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cupid can be veryhelpful for Lions seeking a love connection. Thechubby cherub also brings warm and fuzzy feelingsto paired Leos and Leonas who already share a spe-cial love line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Travel isfavored this week, whether you'll be globe-trotting ortaking a trip to a nearby getaway. You might be sur-prised (or maybe not) by who wants to be your trav-eling companion.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Gettingadvice on your next business-related move is a goodidea, but only if your advisers are trustworthy. Get ref-erences you can check out before you make decisions.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Getting aboost in your self-esteem is one benefit that comeswith a job well done. There are other plusses as well,including being noticed by all the right people. Goodluck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)Make time to deal with family matters, especiallywhere they concern your elderly kinfolk. Being therefor them from the start can help resolve problemssooner rather than later.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)Getting a project started can often be difficult. But thegood news is that you won't want for lack of assis-tance from colleagues who would like to work withyou. So, let them!

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A lot ofwork-related issues might be raised this week, andyou need to be prepared for whatever comes along.Things should be easier when it comes to matters inyour private life.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) What mightappear to be a very much unwanted change in yourlife right now could turn out to be a very welcomeevent after all. Give yourself a chance to see where itmight take you.
