Susie Patton, district school board president, said Friday that interim Superintendent/elementary school Principal Heidi Torix will take the district’s helm on July 1, technically the start of the new school year. Torix replaces Dr. Sean Cianfarano, who had been hired in 2014 but was put on paid administrative leave in mid-December. While Patton couldn’t address the situation with Cianfarano specifically, she did say that, in general, school officials can be put on See torix E Page 8 By Terrance Vestal Managing Editor Airport oops – everyone’s fine A small plane landing at Furnace Creek Airport was heavily damaged when it ran off the end of the runway.

For the many girls throughout the Eastern Sierra who have participated in Girl Scouts over the years, Theona Wasson has become a friend like gold. After 45 years of volunteering for the Girl Scouts, she will be retiring, with a celebration to be held at 2 p.m. this afternoon at Astorga’s. “Theona has been a great role model for our girls and our leaders,” Yvonne Freeman, a local Girl Scout troop leader, said. “She has a wealth of knowledge about Girl Scouts and her willingness to share with us has benefited so many people. We will truly miss her fun personality and all that she offers our local girl scouts. We hope she stays in touch and comes by to join us when she has time. We all wish her well.” “I’ve kept going because I have interest in helping the girls,” Wasson said. “I think I get more out of it than the girls do because they energize me and we share an awful lot of laughs. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.” Wasson has served as a Service Unit manager, a troop leader, treasurer, camp and event coordinator in addition to serving wherever there was a need. She also is a recipient of the Thanks badge, one of the highest honors presented by the Girl Scout organization. She also served on staff with the Girl Scouts for three years but she missed being with the girls so much that she quit and returned to her troop. Wasson also is one of 218 Lifetime Girl Scout Members in the Sierra Nevada Council. “I am not into this for any recognition,” Wasson said. “I don’t look for that. I like interacting with the kids most of all.” A lot has changed over the years. Wasson said the materials used for troop leadership have evolved to a point where now, much of the materials for the parents and leaders are available online.

It’s the forked bone between the neck and breast of a bird. But that’s the wishbone, I almost hear you cry. Indeed it is, but merrythought is the older term for that part of a turkey, chicken or other fowl served at table. Wishbone was created in America; from the evidence, it seems to have appeared sometime around the 1850s, but has since taken over everywhere. But merrythought was still the more common term in America and Britain until about 1900. Here’s an American example, from Mrs. Goodfellow’s Cookery as it Should Be, published in Philadelphia in 1865: Remove the merrythought and neck bones next, this you will accomplish by inserting the knife and forcing it under the bones, raise it and it will readily separate from the breast. origin: 1600-10; so called from the custom of pulling the bone apart until it breaks, the person holding the longer (sometimes shorter) piece supposedly marrying first or being granted a wish at the time word of the day is sponsored by: The Inyo Register AT A GLANCE Autism Awareness BISHOP – The Bishop Twin Theater and Early Learning Center is embracing April as National Autism Awareness month by hosting a free showing of “The Peanuts Movie” at noon today at the Bishop Twin Theater.

SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2016 A-3 Medicare and Covered California If you become eligible for Medicare and have health insurance through Covered California, what are your options? Here is some information to help guide you. First, a brief overview of what Medicare covers. Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care at 80% with some deductibles and copayments, and a possible premium. Part B covers certain doctors’ services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services at 80%, with a monthly premium and $166 per year deductible. Most people also have a Medigap insurance plan to pay the remaining 20% of costs and possibly deductibles and copayments, with a monthly premium. Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs, with a monthly premium, copayments and possible deductibles. The majority of people do not pay a monthly premium for Part A. If you or your spouse have paid FICA tax for 10 years or more, you will not pay a premium for Part A. It is important to know that if you are eligible for Part A without a premium, you will no longer receive any tax credits or cost-sharing subsidies for Covered California plans. These credits and subsidies end when you become eligible Kathy Kelty HICAP Counselor for premium-free Part A, whether you are enrolled in Medicare or not. You will have to pay back any credits and subsidies you receive for Covered CA after you became eligible for Medicare. If you are entitled to Part A without a premium, it’s advisable to enroll in Medicare and terminate your plan with Covered CA. If you’re receiving Social Security benefits before you turn 65, or are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you will automatically be enrolled in Medicare when you become eligible, and do not need to do anything with Covered CA. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits or SSDI, you need to voluntarily enroll in Medicare when you become eligible at age 65, and contact your Covered CA plan to terminate it, giving them the date you will be eligible for Medicare. If you are low income (and meet other requirements) you may be eligible for additional coverage through Medi-Cal, which works like having a Medi-gap, and pays for Part D. You can enroll in Medi-Cal through Covered California. If you are not eligible for MediCal there are other progams that may help with Medicare costs; contact county social services or HICAP for more information. When you are enrolled in Medicare, you are not eligible to purchase a Covered CA plan, subsidized or unsubsidized. It is illegal for someone to knowingly sell you coverage that duplicates what Medicare provides. Covered CA does not offer Medi-gap or Part D prescription drug policies. If you will pay a premium for Part A, you may want to decide between having Medicare with a Medi-gap, or having a Covered CA health plan. There are several things to consider. Are the Medicare premiums more or less than the premium for the Covered CA plan? Add premiums for Part A (up to $411 per month), Part B ($121.80 per month), a Part D prescription drug plan, and a Medi-gap plan, and compare to the premium for the Covered CA plan. (If you will pay for Part A, you may be eligible for premium assistance and cost-sharing subsidies for a Covered CA plan, depending on your income.) Also compare other costs and benefits. For example, a Silver 70 plan with Covered CA has a medical deductible of $2,250 and a prescription deductible of $250. Depending on what coverage you will have through Medicare with a Medi-gap plan, you may not have these deductibles. Your Covered CA plan may also include benefits Medicare does not, such as accupunture. Covered CA plans set an annual limit on out-of-pocket expenses; Medicare does not. Covered CA plans may require the use of a network of health care providers; Medicare does not. Another consideration is late enrollment penalities. Having a Covered CA plan does not exempt you from paying Part A and Part B late enrollment penalties if you later switch to Medicare, or disenroll from Medicare and re-enroll later. These penalties increase over time. If you miss your Initial Enrollment Period for Medicare (the three months before your 65th birthday month, your 65th birthday month, and the three months after) or miss the General Enrollment Period, Jan. 1 through March 31 each year, there may be a delay before you can switch from Covered CA to Medicare. Remember that if you sign up for Medicare during the General Enrollment Period, coverage does not start until July 1 of that year. For more information about Covered California, go to COVEREDCA.COM or call (800) 300-1506.

Spring Horse Clinic Right now, in any American hospital, about half of the patients have a prescription for an acid-reducing drug to reduce heartburn or prevent bleeding in their stomach and gut. But that wellintentioned drug may actually boost their risk of dying during their hospital stay, a new study finds – by opening them up to infections that pose more risk than bleeding would. In fact, according to a computer simulation based on real-world risk and Dwayne Wilson benefit data, around 90 percent of hospital inpatients who were first prescribed these drugs in the hospital have a higher risk of dying when they’re taking them, compared with their risk if they hadn’t gotten the prescription. And for around 80 percent of patients who were already on these common drugs, called proton-pump inhibitors or PPIs, when they arrived at the hospital, staying on them also may lead to a small increase in the risk of dying. The extra risk of death comes from the fact that reducing acid in the stomach can increase the risk of infections – especially pneumonia and Clostridium difficile, both of which pose a serious risk to hospitalized patients who develop them. The study, which uses a computer model to achieve a result that otherwise would require an impractically large clinical trial, is published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. We are now compounding “all natural estrogen hormone replacement” as prescribed by your physicians. Using antibiotics alone to treat children with uncomplicated acute appendicitis is a reasonable alternative to surgery when chosen by the family. A study published in JAMA Surgery found that three out of four children with uncomplicated appendicitis have been successfully treated with antibiotics alone at one-year follow-up. Compared to urgent appendectomy, non-operative management was associated with less recovery time, lower health costs and no difference in the rate of complications at one year.

Now I can’t stop it. Man oh man. That’s what I get for acting without considering the consequences. Now all I can do is wait. And hope. And maybe some praying. I guess I’ll just have to wait and to see if it turns into a total disaster. However, I haven’t seen any horror stories on Twitter or Facebook about it actually being a total disaster, so there’s hope. And Facebook and Twitter are the experts, right? I’ll just try to be patient. And try to not to jump up and shut down the whole operation. Jumping into the middle of it once it’s started is a sure-fire recipe for a disaster. I’ll just focus on something else and try not to think of it. Jon Klusmire Pudding. Chocolate pudding. That’s the newest addition to the produce section at Vons. No kidOPINION ding. And since it’s in the produce section, it’s healthy, right? It looks like there are going to be four new restaurants opening in Bishop this summer. Imagine that. Hey, is global warming why it’s already hot enough to run the air conditioner in the car in the afternoon? Oh, and my little car just turned over 172,000 miles. Amazing. And it’s an American car, no less. Of course, it makes some strange, sounds – like rocks in a blender. Are those orange mallows blooming on the edges of 395? Not sure, but that’s about the only native plant I can name. They are right alongside big clumps of “little yellow flowers,” which is their Latin name, I’m sure. Anyway, it is the first time anything’s bloomed around here for a couple of years, right? Hmmm. Maybe I should just get up and check it. No. At this stage of the process I’ll only mess it up. Leave it alone. Stop thinking about it. Regular season NBA games are horrible. Boring. No one plays defense. As predictable as pro soccer. Hey, our “lady” US soccer players are getting ripped off, right? They win all the time and are charismatic stars and make way less money than the men – criminal. Someone call Bernie Sanders. Did you see that the cost of a First Class U.S. Stamp just went down by one cent? No kidding. How in the world did that happen? The Post Office must be making money hand over fist delivering billions of trinkets from Amazon, or something, since no one mails letters anymore. Hey, wait a minute. It looks like it’s finished. I wonder if it worked. Maybe a little prayer first. Okay, now, let’s look. Oh no. No. No. No. You’ve got to be kidding. This can’t be right. Arrrrgh: “Widows 10 has successfully downloaded.” Great. But now, it’s “preparing to install.” And after that, I’ll have to reboot my computer so it will install the new Windows 10, which could take up to another 90 minutes and hopefully won’t completely destroy eight years of everything on my computer and make it so I can’t even turn the darn thing on.

File photo wasson Continued from front page evolving, adapting to the needs and interests of girls in the 21st century. “It has been very interesting to watch the evolution throughout the recent years,” Wasson said, “Women are stepping up, chipping in and helping out.” When the Girl Scouts was first created, the badges were presented for accomplishments in subjects like sewing. Wasson said the badges have evolved over the years, now incorporating science, technology, conservation and other subjects geared towards modern issues as part of the program, which helps prepare girls to be strong contributors in their communities. “When I started, the local troop was in a slump,” Wasson said, “We had a junior troop and it has grown. Right now, we have a super organization with lots of young people coming in and looking forward to helping with the girls.” While much has changed, Wasson said many of the traditions have remained the same since the beginning. The Girl Scout Motto is “Be Prepared,” which the 1947 handbook explains, “A girl scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed. Willingness to serve is not enough; you must know how to do the job well, even in an emergency.” This principle of preparedness and service holds true for Girl Scouts even today, as have the core principles of friendship and sisterhood. Looking back over her many years as a volunteer, Wasson said it is hard to choose just one memory, but if she had to, she recalls watching the girls climb up hills for various reasons, once at one of her early camps and once at Catalina Island. The girls’ flashlights twinkled through the night as they climbed up the hills, all in a line. “It was beautiful to see the trail of lights flickering up the hill,” Wasson said. Some of her other favorite moments were of campfires and ceremonies. Amber Aiton, director of development and communication for the Sierra Nevada Council, said Theona Wasson saved the Girl Scout Bishop Scout House. “During the economic downturn there was discussion about the possibility of closing the beloved scout house due to funding,” Aiton said. “In true Girl Scout fashion, Theona rallied city officials, volunteers, local donors and the community at large, effectively ensuring Girl Scouts could continue to learn, grow and meet at the Bishop Scout House.” “When we get together, we sing the same songs and laugh together at the same jokes,” Wasson said. She also said she loves the traditions, especially the campfire and candlelight ceremonies. “I enjoy them, I really do,” Wasson said of the traditions. “They bring people together, just like singing.” Wherever Wasson travels, she tries to visit Girl Scout troops. She said she has visited troops all over the country and even some international- Get the news. Get the story. The Inyo Register www.inyoregister.com ly. As for imparting wisdom to future Girl Scout volunteers, Wasson said, “Have fun, because if you aren’t having fun, neither are the girls. If you are having fun and doing what you love to do, they will catch the spirit of it as well.” “There are many reasons for girls to join Girl Scouts,” Wasson said. “They learn to have courage and speak up. They learn respect, moral character and enjoy being together and knowing that there will be a sister in Girl Scouts somewhere for them. They just need to enjoy the ride.” Wasson said she feels good about stepping down now because the Girl Scout troops in the Eastern Sierra are going strong. However, she will not being giving up Girl Scouts entirely. She still is involved in a singing group, as well as a friendship knot group that makes and sends friendship knots to Girl Scouts and alumni who are going through difficult times. While Wasson is stepping down from her capacity as a Girl Scout volunteer, her dedication to young girls remains as she will be spending lots of time with her granddaughter, who will be bridging from Daisy to Brownie this year. “Not only is Theola passionate about the Girl Scout mission, she has boldly paved the way for every girl in Bishop to build courage, confidence and Character,” Pam Czyz, chief executive Officer for Girl Scouts Sierra Nevada Council said. “We are honored to call Theona a champion of Girl Scouting.” Continued from front page tours Sunday morning in addition to Saturday. “Saturday morning there will be 11 tours, Saturday afternoon there will be 11 tours and Sunday morning there will be 11 more tours,” Prather said. With the rechanneling of the Lower Owens River and the dust mitigation measures required of the DWP, Owens Lake is being restored into a recreational area as well as a resting place for migratory birds. “Thanks to the dust mitigation and the efforts of years of hard work by community members and concerned citizens, there is water in Owens Lake,” Beardsley said. “As the water has returned to the lake, birds have once again returned on their historic migration routes.” “In recent years, more than 100,000 migrating birds have moved through Owens Lake on their seasonal migrations,” Beardsley said. “The lake and the surrounding area host American Avocets with their upturned bills and toasted orange heads, black-necked stilts, and nesting snowy plovers among a host of other shore birds, water fowl and riparian areas.” The festival is not just for bird enthusiasts. Beardsley said there will be tours showcasing geology, wildlife and mining history as well as discussions about lake bed management, conservation and dust mitigation while providing water to Los Angeles. “The landscapes and history of Owens Lake and the Lower Owens Valley are spectacular,” Beardsley said. “The festival provides unique opportunities to explore these places for birders and non-birders alike.” Prather has been collecting data about bird migration on Owens Lake since the early 1980s, long before the law suits that required the DWP to do dust control on the lake. “I have been able to see what happened before and since the dust mitigation,” Prather said. “The lake has attracted tens of thousands of birds.” Prather said it has been an interesting journey, finding balance between water conservation, controlling the dust and providing for large amounts of habitat area on the lake bed. “It has been a very creative process and it has been very rewarding because it has been successful,” Prather said. “This is a place where something has come back here, a little bit by accident, this heritage and wildlife use area has been brought back to Owens Lake and that is a huge success. It was done by working together. We worked out the solution among us, and this is a model to repeat.” “It is remarkable what the place has gone through – 100 years of dry lake bed and dust storms,” Ben Wickhem, a staff member for Friends of the Inyo, said. “If you had asked anybody especially a decade ago in the height of animosity and law suits, would Owens Lake ever be rejuvenated like it is now, I think they would have had a hard time imagining it turning out this way. I sense optimism in the local community in Lone Pine. Thousands of birds are back, there is water on the lake bed and where there isn’t water, there’s other measures being taken to curb dust and restore habitat. It’s beautiful out there now.” Tickets for the festival will be $60 for adults, $30 for students. Most of the tours will be held twice.

The Inyo Register A-8 SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2016 torix plan Continued from front page administrative leave if there are allegations against them or if there is an investigation of some kind or both. “We have a confidential personnel agreement,” Patton said. “We are limited in what we can talk about (regarding Cianfarano).” Patton said the board members did have some concerns about Cianfarano’s “inexperience.” “There were some issues,” she said. Cianfarano was an interim principal in Coleville before coming to Lone Pine. The former superintendent, who also served as the elementary school principal, turned in his resignation on March 16 and the school board accepted it. Patton said Torix, who has been working for the Lone Pine School District for two years as principal at Lo-Inyo, has been acting as interim superintendent since Cianfarano was put on paid administrative leave. Patton said she sees the immediate priorities for Torix, who, along with the rest of the district was on spring break this week, will be “pulling everything back together, getting everything back in line where things belong.” “She has been doing an amazing job,” Patton said, adding that Torix has been wearing three hats since December – interim superintendent, high school principal and elementary school princi- pal. “She is a unifying force.” Patton said Torix’s next priority will be looking for a teacher/high school principal to fill her own position. The high school principal is expected to teach a class or two. “We’re a small district,” Patton said. “We all have to multi-task.” A drop in numbers And the district continues to get smaller, Patton said. “We are going kind of downhill right now,” she said, “especially at the high school.” The latest numbers show the district student population at 326 with fewer than 100 students at the high school. A drop in student population means a drop in funding, she said. “It’s impacting us a lot,” Patton said. “But there’s no way to control that.” She said the mitigation work at Owens Lake is going into a new phase that doesn’t require as many workers “and those families move away.” Patton said the district also is taking a hit in tax contributions. As an example she said the Coso Geothermal Plant operation located in Southern Inyo County, which is the district’s biggest tax contributor, is seeing a slow down in production. “They don’t pay as much in taxes as they did before,” she said. Continued from front page ity standards for the first time. The plan includes the terms of a stipulated court judgment by the Superior Court in Sacramento County requiring the city of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to complete the nation’s largest particulate air pollution control project on the dried Owens Lake bed. The district also adopted a new rule and order to LADWP to implement the plan. The plan will next be submitted to the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval and adoption under the federal Clean Air Act. Milad Taghavi, DWP’s manager of Owens Lake Regulatory Affairs and Long-Term Planning, said the plan is what was agreed upon in 2014. “There are a few new elements but we are fine with that,” Taghavi said. Phillip Kiddoo, air pollution control officer for the district, said Friday this is one of the more significant implementation plans from a series of implemented plans that go back to 1998. The first state implementation plan in 1998 ordered DWP to control the dust coming off of Owens Lake that was causing a public health hazard. “It was the first plan and enforceable order to the city of Los Angels issued under authority of California Health and Saftey Code 42316 that held them responsible for mitigating the particulat pollution from the dried Owens Lake bed,” Kiddoo said. For 102 years, LADWP’s water diversions into the Los Angeles Aqueduct created the dried Owens Lake bed, the largest source of dust pollution in the country, resulting in severe adverse health impacts to the area’s local communities. Another state implementation plan was adopted in 2003, which added new areas of the lake that LADWP would have to mitigate dust totaling 29.8 square miles. In 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a failure at attain air quality for public health and required the district to write another plan. In 2008, the total dust control project was increased to 45 square miles. In 2011 and 2012, additional controls were required and issued to DWP based on monitored dust emissions. This led to seven lawsuits filed by the city of Los Angeles against the board, which the city ultimately lost with the stipulated court judgment. The plan adopted Wednesday requires LADWP to complete an additional 3.6 square miles of dust controls on the lake bed, bringing the total to 48.6 square miles, and allows the district to require an additional 4.8 square miles of controls if needed to attain the air quality standards. Taghavi said the district has yet to identify the additional square miles. “We have controlled 45 square miles,” he said, adding that the district’s monitoring shows that these efforts have controlled 96 percent of the dust pollution. He said by December of 2017 the control rate will be at 99 percent. Kiddoo agreed with this estimate. The plan also allows LADWP to use new water-saving measures to control the pollution, including tilling the lake bed with the back-up of shallow flooding as needed, dynamic water management to more closely align the controls with the emission seasons and utilization of brine in dust control areas. Immediate water savings will be enough water to supply hundreds of thousands of people. “This plan will allow the citizens of the Owens Valley to breathe some of the cleanest air in the country and save water,” Kiddoo said. “More than 75,000 tons of dust per year have been controlled with dust mitigation implementation at Owens Lake, making this the largest air pollution project in the history of the United States. We also look forward to a new day of cooperation with LADWP to protect the health of our communities and the environment.” The full plan is available on the district web site at www. gbuapcd.org. Taghavi said current mitigation efforts are made up of a mix of vegetation, use of gravel and shallow flooding. Since 2000, DWP has spent about $1.6 billion in dust mitigation efforts and it is estimated to hit a total of about $1.8 billion by December 2017, Taghavi said. The city of LA funds the monitoring programs at Owens and Mono lakes. “It’s a wonderful, collaborative effort,” Taghavi said of the relationship between DWP and the district. He said the two organizations will be looking at other issues as well, such as greater water conservation for the lake as well as maintaining wildlife habitats. “We are looking forward to a continued collaborations with the community and other partners,” Amanda Parsons, with LADWP Public Relations, said Friday.

Yikes. Outdoor shoes in the house? The University of Houston did a study and found that 39 percent of shoes contained the bacteria C. diff. In Japan, as well as in many Asian and Scandinavian countries, shoes are removed. It would be a kindness, as you suggested, to provide slippers at the door. Guests could also bring their own. – Maria in New Mexico Dear Maria: We had a mountain of responses to this letter. Several readers directed us to the study you mention, and another by the University of Arizona. Both tested people’s shoes and discovered nine different species of bacteria, many of which can cause infections in our stomachs, eyes and lungs. The studies found that bacteria live longer on our shoes than on anything else, and in most cases, the bacteria was transferred to both tile floors and especially carpeting. There are more bacteria on shoes than on toilet seats, including E coli. This is especially dangerous for children under the age of 2, because they play on the floor and frequently put their hands in their mouths. Here’s more: Dear Annie: The host is responsible for making guests feel welcome and comfortable. Many people have health conditions that make walking in stockings or soft-soled slippers unsafe. Such things as diabetes, neuropathy, planter fasciitis and balance issues require that Dear Annie: We also live in a snowy part of America, so dirt, mud, snow and road salt get tracked in all the time. Most everyone takes off their shoes in others’ homes. (The elderly and disabled are exempt.) “Clean” could buy an extra pair of comfortable slippers or loafers and keep them at his sister-in-law’s house, or better yet, buy some crazy socks that will be a conversation starter and fun! – Feel Better Kathy & Marcy shoes be worn at all times. If the hosts care more about their floors than their guests, they should not entertain in their homes. – J. Dear Annie: Who does this person think he is to decide that he can walk around someone else’s house with his shoes on? No one has perfectly clean shoes unless they have just taken them out of the box from the shoe store. Your word choice of “detritus” was very polite. Street shoes have everything from dog poop to dead bugs on them. Who on earth wants that on their floors? Not me. Dear Annie: People who care more about their house than their guests are cold, materialistic, uncaring and a few other things you wouldn’t print. What happens when someone spills red wine on the white carpet? Will that person need to be escorted out? Where does it stop? – E. Dear Annie: The sister-inlaw could easily provide a box of shoe covers for her guests. That would be a win-win solution. – Sara in Ohio Dear Annie: This reminded me of a Christmas party held at my bosses’ home. I bought a special outfit and the perfect shoes, only to be asked at the door to remove them. I was wearing 3-inch heels and when I took them off, my white wool slacks dragged all over the place. What made it worse was that they owned two dogs and a cat. It’s been 10 years and it still bugs me. – Hairy Pants In Pennsylvania Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Salome’s Stars ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience is still somewhat of a problem. But a sign of progress should soothe the anxious Aries heart. Meanwhile, invest some of that waiting time in preparing for the change ahead. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bovines tend to excel at solving problems, not creating them. But you risk doing just that if you’re slow to respond to a timely situation. If necessary, seek advice from someone you trust. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini Twin might need to do more than a routine check of both a job-linked and home-based situation. Dig deeper for more data on both fronts to avoid unwanted surprises later. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Moon Children facing an important workplace decision are encouraged to use their perceptiveness to see through any attempt to win them over with a supercharge of fawning and flattery. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news catapults Leos and Leonas into reconsidering a deferred decision. But time has moved on, and it’s a good idea to recheck your plans and make adjustments where necessary. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week favors relationships, both personal and professional. Take the time to look for and immediately repair any vulnerable areas caused by unresolved misunderstandings. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A friend’s problems bring out your protective instincts. Be careful to keep a balance between meeting the obligations of friendship without being overwhelmed by them. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The temptation to take an extreme position on an issue is strong, but moderation is favored both in personal and professional Last Week’s Answers dealings. Move toward finding areas of agreement. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Getting another boss or teacher? Try to see the person behind the image. It will help you adjust more easily to the changes that new authority figures inevitably bring. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Much as you might dislike the idea, keep an open mind about using the assistance of a third party to help resolve problems that threaten to unravel an important agreement. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Music helps restore the Aquarian’s spiritual energies this week. Take someone you care for to a concert of your musical choice. Also, expect news about a workplace matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A challenge that seems easy enough at first could take an unexpected turn that might test your resolve. Decide if you feel you should stay with it, or if it’s better to move in another direction. BORN THIS WEEK: You can be strong when standing up for justice, both for yourself and for others.

He is survived by his five children, Sandra (Susie) Martin, Frank Bumgarner, Barbara (Barbie) Papp, Kathie Wilson and Robert (Bobby) Bumgarner; brothers, Frank Hokstra and Roy Bumgarner; sisters, Lona Rich and Lorraine Jacobs. He was blessed with 11 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, all who stole his heart. He had numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 40+ years, Charlotte Bumgarner who passed 2 months earlier in Febuary. Bob was one of the strongest, most loving men that has ever lived. At an early age he served his country in the 82nd Airborne. He drilled for water in Saudi Arabia and Morocco as well all over the US. He owned several businesses throughout his life including The Boonies Restaurant and Bar and a few trucking companies. He and his wife Charlotte were staples in the Dyer, Nevada community for over 30 years. All of “the valley” knew Bob was the guy to go to for help. He loved to go to Mexico for extended vacations. When he retired, he fell in love with panning for gold. We all have so many memories and stories of our life with him. He will be missed. We have comfort in knowing he and Charlotte are together in Heaven. Services for Bob and Charlotte will be graveside at Fishlake Valley Cemetery April 30, 2016 at 12:00pm (noon). A potluck will be held afterwards at the Fishlake Valley Community Center to celebrate their lives. 1950 – 2016 Charlotte “Ivor” Bumgarner, age 66, from Dyer NV went home to the Lord on January 13, 2016 after complications from diabetes at Tahoe Regional Medical Center in Sparks, NV. She was born on January 6, 1950 to Florence and Wilbur Gutherie in Bishop, CA. She had three siblings; David, Donna and Dale (Butch). She graduated from Bishop High School. In the late 1970’s she married the love of her life, Robert N. Bumgarner. Charlotte worked for the phone company, Jack’s Waffle House and BBQ Bills in Bishop. She was the owner/operator of Boonies Bar & Grill in Dyer, NV and double team truck driving with her husband Bob for years. Charlotte was blessed in having four step-children. The Lord blessed her and Bob even more with Bobby, the joy of her life. Her many pups and cat became a close second. She wanted to adopt all unwanted children and animals. Charlotte was loved and became friends with many people. She called dimes “angel kisses” and wanted her best friend, Vicki Serfoss and herself to save dimes and travel to Romania to give orphans motherly hugs and kisses. She was preceded in death by her father, Wilbur; mother, Florence; brother, “Butch” and sister, Donna. Charlotte is survived by her husband, Richard N. Bumgarner of Dyer, NV; brother, David Gutherie of Tehachapi, CA; son, Robert W. Bumgarner (Shelly) of Dyer, NV; step-daughter, Suzy (Mitch) of Portland, TX; step-son, Frank (Sam) of Big Pine, CA; step-daughter Barbara of Carson City, NV; step-daughter, Kathy of Augusta, ILL; eleven grandchildren and ten great –grandchildren. Cremation and burial will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, Charlotte would request that donations and attention be given to all local animal shelters. “Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:25-26 Klause Oswald Gierth Doctor Klause Gierth, age 78, died suddenly on February 25, 2016 with pen in hand while engaged in his favorite endeavor, writing. He was philosopher in his soul, a fisherman where there were streams, a carpenter given a saw, a physician to secure a living and a U.S. Navy Veteran. He enjoyed the finer aspects of life such as poetry, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, the Opera and human history. A man both complex in his questions yet simple in his heart, Klause loved deeply and completely. He often questioned life’s meaning and the existence of God, but for those who knew him, he did more good than evil. The world has lost a unique spirit. Klause was a mountain man who climbed the Sierra, the Whites and other mountain ranges always stopping to fish or look into another abandoned mine. He recorded hours of videos through his hikes, even while trudging up steeply ascending peaks, scaling down deep ravines or while simply zooming in on a scented lavender flower. We were equal participants of his footsteps through our video eyes often exclaiming how dangerously foolish yet intensely beautiful and inspiring it was. A man of the earth, Klause admired beauty in all its forms, likely the reason he often climbed the mountains or could not look a woman in the eye. A well-studied pianist and music enthusiast, his heart thrilled to the sound of Beethoven, Mozart or a lively German polka. He enjoyed his long haired rescue cat who would only allow him to approach her. Klause was known to drive 100 miles to feed wild horses. At the age of 14 Klause emigrated from Germany to America after the war. He then matriculated through the educational system with relative ease, as he had a keen intellect and near photographic memory. He graduated from Medical School at Loma Linda University and then served in the Navy for two years for the country he called, “the best”, the United States of America. He practiced Medicine at Long Beach Memorial Hospital while building his forever home in his California mountains. After completion of his home, he moved to his mountains in Bishop, CA and served the community for 35 years as an Emergency Room doctor. Klause had two children with Peggy, Michael and Heidi. Michael preceded Klause in death, much to Klauses’ forever anguish. He was also preceded in death by his father, Oswald Gierth; his mother, Gerda Gierth; his sister, Hannalorie Lake and his beloved sister, Christa Gierth. He is survived by his daughter, Heidi Moore; son-in-law, James Moore; brother-in-law, Dave Reid; daughter-in-law, Tamie Gierth; grandchild, Richard Gierth and his wife, Lauren Gierth; grandchild, Justin Gierth and his wife, Allison Gierth; grandchild, Ashley Medina and her husband, Adolfo Medina and grandchild, Jamie Moore. He is also survived by Great grandchildren, Alice Medina and Hayden Gierth. Klause called himself an “observer of people”. He was so much more than an observer, he was an active participant mostly, right in the center of this heart song of life. He lived life on his own terms, and questioned everything. “Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest” – Shakespeare. 1937 - 2016 want to get your picture in the paper? here’s how! eastern sierra e fi l Se challenge #6 Our Next Eastern Sierra Selfies page will be on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 To participate in this challenge, send us a Selfie taken of you: • With a Fire Truck, or • With a Farm Animal, or • With an Ice Cream Cone • Deadline for Eastern Sierra Selfies is Friday, April 22 by 5 p.m. • Send Selfie photos to: comp@inyoregister.com • Photos must be tasteful, must include first and last names of everyone in the photos and please include ages of children under 18 years of age. • Photos will not be published if they are not in good taste, do not meet the challenges given, if they are not in focus or without identification.

The Inyo Register A-16 EASTERN SIERRA HISTORY Saturday, APRIL 16, 2016 Old Dinah, a steam tractor used briefly (and unsuccessfully) by Francis M. “Borax” Smith to transport wagonloads of ore from the mines at Borate to the railroad at Daggett. Old Dinah is currently on display at the Furnace Creek Ranch. Photos courtesy Eastern California Museum A work train on the first high trestle of the Death Valley Railroad, August 1914. The construction of this railroad, which was intended to connect the mining camp of New Ryan with the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad at Horton, began in the fall of 1913 with a crew of 325 men, 150 mules and Fresno scrapers. Death Valley borax mines led to transportation firsts By the Eastern California Museum Virtual Transportation Museum Death Valley enjoys a rich mining history, but not many of the region’s mines generated long-term rich returns for investors or miners. Gold and silver drew the attention of most miners, but produced, at best, short-term bursts in activity and, in some cases, the establishment of mining camps or towns, from Cerro Gordo to Panamint City to Skidoo. These towns’ fortunes rose, and then fell, based on the mineral wealth generated by nearby mines. Other mining operations banked on less glamorous minerals, such as salt, but their fortunes, too, were short-lived. The one great exception to Death Valley’s boom and bust mining history is borax. The mineral spurred development of Death Valley in the late 1800s, and remained one of the few minerals that could be profitably mined and shipped out of the hostile environment of Death Valley. Rail lines were built, towns sprung up to house miners and the desert started to look a lot more prosperous than it used to. In addition to the economic benefits, borax mining and shipping created one of the iconic images of Death Valley, the famed 20-mule teams. Long after the 20-mule teams were replaced, the image of a long string of mules pulling a huge wagon across the unforgiving land- scape became probably one of the most recognizable images and symbols of Death Valley. Pacific Coast Borax used the 20-mule team icon to market its product, and continued to hitch up and drive 20-mule teams in Death Valley as a promotional vehicle well into the 1950s. That tradition continues today, when Bobby Tanner of Bishop drives a 20-mule team hitch at Mule Days. The lasting legacy of borax mining can also be seen today. Pacific Coast Borax didn’t abandon its Death Valley holdings when richer, more accessible borax mines came into production. Instead, the company enthusiastically, and at great cost, built and operated numerous touristrelated facilities in Death Valley, most notably the array of visitor amenities at Furnace Creek. Eventually the company allowed its holdings to become the Death Valley National Monument, the precursor to today’s Death Valley National Park. Discovery of ‘Cottonball’ borax leads to a mining boom Inyo County was the leading source of borax in the United States from 1882 until 1890 and from 1907 until 1927. Between 1890 and 1907 and from 1928 on, San Bernardino County was the leading producer. Although deposits were discovered in Saline, Death and Searles valleys in the 1870s, it was the discovery of “cotton- ball” borax on the east side of Death Valley by Aaron Winters in the early 1880s that started the borax boom in Inyo County. In 1882, William T. Coleman purchased the Death Valley claim from Winters for $20,000 and established the Harmony Borax Works. To make the transport of borax economically viable, Coleman needed to establish a freighting system. As a result, 10 specially built high-wheeled wagons, each weighing four tons, were hitched in pairs with a water wagon carrying a 500-gallon tank attached at the rear. Each set of wagons was pulled by a team consisting of 18 mules and two draft horses. Sacks of borax were transported to the railhead at Mojave by five separate teams that ran like clockwork. From 1883 until 1889, these famous 20-mule teams made the 20-day round trip between Death Valley and Mojave, traveling at a rate of 15 to 18 miles per day. Each wagon team could haul up to 28 tons of borax. In the late 1880s, deposits of a new borate mineral named colemanite were discovered in Furnace Creek Wash on the eastern edge of Death Valley and in the Calico Mountains near Barstow. Production shifted from Death Valley to the Calico Mountains, and the new town of Borate was established 11 miles from the Daggett railhead. Borax production doubled, but this caused prices to plummet, and in 1888 Coleman’s After the mines stopped producing, the Ryan Baby Gauge Railroad transported tourists on mine tours as part of the transition of Death Valley from a mining region to a tourist attraction. empire collapsed. In 1890, Francis Marion “Borax” Smith acquired all of Coleman’s borax properties, and with these and his own holdings formed the Pacific Coast Borax Company with the famous “20 Mule Team Borax” trademark. Borate deposits in Death Valley were virtually abandoned in 1890, and San Bernardino became the leading producer of borax until 1906 when the deposits at Calico finally played out. Borax mining resumed in Death Valley in 1903, as it had become evident that the deposits near Borate would soon be exhausted. The town of Ryan grew up around the Lila C. Mine where initial borax production started. A mill was established at Death Valley Junction on the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad line, and a spur was built from the mill to Ryan. Constructed by F.M. Smith in 1907 in hopes of cashing in on the Rhyolite boom, the Tonopah & Tidewater was used to haul borax instead. By 1915, the Lila C. had produced more borate ore than all of Death Valley’s previous borax operations combined, but Smith ultimately went bankrupt due to other investments and lost control of the mines. To reach the best deposits in the Funeral Range, the reorganized Pacific Coast Borax Consolidated built the narrow gauge Death Valley Railroad, which was completed to Horton on the Tonopah & Tidewater in 1914. “Old Ryan” was torn down and moved to the new location, and the Lila C. was abandoned. Extensive production took place at the Widow and other mines in the vicinity of New Ryan over the next dozen or so years. Ore from these mines was hauled by a 24-inch (baby) gauge train to New Ryan where it was loaded onto the narrow gauge Death Valley Railroad. From Ryan, the ore was transported to Horton where it was transferred to railcars on the Tonopah & Tidewater standard gauge line. By 1927, production from the mines in the Funeral Range had reached $30 million. However, amazingly rich deposits of pure borax were This 20-mule team was one of the “promotional” teams Pacific Coast Borax used to publicize its Borax Soap, which used the 20-mule team as its logo.

The Baby Gauge operated between New Ryan and the Widow Mine, traversing a five-mile route that curved sharply around cliffs. discovered in the Mojave Desert at Kramer (Boron) on the transcontinental railroad that same year, and borax was also being mined from Searles Lake near Trona. Unable to compete, the mines in the Funeral Range ceased operations in 1928. That prompted Pacific Coast Borax to look at is Death Valley holdings as a tourist attraction, not a mining property. The allure of Death Valley to visitors became apparent fairly soon. In a short time, the Tonopah & Tidewater and Death Valley railroads were given new life transporting tourists to Death Valley, and instead of hauling ore from the mines, the baby gauge train was used to ferry people on mine tours. Fascination with the rugged landscape and extreme conditions in Death Valley continues today.

The Inyo Register mountain report Saturday, APRIL 16, 2016 A-17 Sierra Sojourns Enjoying great view amongst the big boulders (Hiked on March 31, 2016) The following hike is located in an area where Native Americans presided, so if you venture here please be respectful and leave any and all artifacts in place where they belong. My brother was back in town a couple of weeks ago and, like me, he wanted to go on a nice hike with much elevation gain but not too many miles. I wanted to keep it local so we would have plenty of time to enjoy some nice cold beverages, so I made a couple of suggestions. The first one was just north of Bishop near Silver Canyon in the White Mountains. The next was a nice dirt road drive and then a short, steep hike to the top of Casa Diablo Mountain and finally a five- to six-mile trek to see the gorgeous Druid Stones off Barlow Lane in Bishop. He originally wanted to park near the entrance to Silver Canyon, close to Laws Museum, and climb the shale-covered slopes of Silver Canyon Point and Dan Point, but I convinced him to visit the Druid Stones Loop and check out the gigantic boulders and the best view of Bishop I’ve seen so far. He was persuade by my description of the trail, which I had done only once before. Craig Jackson Columnist We chose an exceptional Thursday for our hike, as the sky was totally clear with a nice cool southerly breeze, which kind of cooled us off on this strenuous trail. After polishing off a nice, hearty breakfast, we took the very short drive south on Barlow Lane to where it separates and becomes Bir Road to the right. A couple of miles later there’s a dirt road on the left that initially drops down and then cul-de-sacs in a few hundred feet on the right. The trailhead here is not marked but is obvious as it starts to climb steeply on the left side of an unknown canyon. This trail definitely means business as it immediately begins quite steeply and doesn’t have any type of relatively flat sections until reaching the top of the first ridge, and a thousand feet higher, in the first mile. Welcome rest and a few nice pine trees greeted us as the view of Bishop grew better and better. The brief, easy walking ended quite suddenly as we passed the return portion of the loop and began to climb higher up, getting closer to the massive rocks and another brief flat spot. Serious rock climbers venture here to test their skills on the giant boulders. My brother must have had some Wheaties before breakfast because he kept a fast pace in the morning warmth. We moseyed quickly around this magnificent rock garden, taking pictures and cooling off a bit before the toughest part of the loop hike. One more ridgetop left to conquer on this very discernible trail, with the presence of more trees becoming more apparent. Two miles into the hike now we reached welcome shade and a fantastic cool breeze while standing on the ridge. For the next half mile the path now pleasantly drops down a bit to a saddle and passes by the unmarked junction with the loop portion of the hike. We chose to bypass the loop for now and continue up the trail, which eventually climbs up to Coyote Ridge, or so I’ve been told. We both still had some gas in the tank so I suggest- Fantastic rock formations alongside the sandy trail. Mark on top of one of the rocky outcrops near the trail. Photo by Craig Jackson ed we hike another mile or so to a nice spot in a small valley, surrounded by three or four rocky outcrops. Before we had some lunch, we climbed the high rock pile on the south side of the valley and were greeted with a nice 360-degree view of the Owens Valley, White Mountains and snow to the west. A couple of hours was spent here, kicking back and relaxing under an umbrella-like pine tree and white, puffy clouds coming from the west. Refreshed and ready, we eagerly anticipated the enjoyable downhill hiking we were about to do. A half hour later we were back at the saddle and made the left turn to complete the loop portion of the hike. Two hours from the valley where we had lunch, we arrived back at the car, feeling the warmth of the spring sun beating on our skin. My brother and I drove directly to the Mountain Rambler Brewery and capped off a great hike with some good conversation and refreshing refreshments.

Our mountain ranges block the passage of many weather systems which have the potential of rain, leaving Bishop in the dust of a high desert. The Eastern Sierra is a gorgeous but harsh environment. God has led His people, Israel, through many desert and wilderness experiences and consequently, Scripture has much to say about His purposes and what man’s response should be in them. Moses presents a song in the presence of all Israel (who were acutely aware of desert living) prior to his own death. He says, “God found him in a desert land and in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.” And later in the passage it reads, “See now that I, I am He, and there is no god besides Me.” 1 Corinthians 10 explains that Israel was laid low in the wilderness. I believe that is to say God used Israel’s physical afflictions (brought about by the desert) to guide them into knowledge of their total dependence upon Him. The apostle Paul also shares with us some reasoning why God allowed Israel to be laid low – so they would not crave evil things – specifically idolatry, immorality, distrust of God and grumbling. When man finds himself afflicted, needy and parched, God will answer and not forsake him. This is for the purpose that the man will see and recognize who the Lord is and what He has done. The desert teaches us God is provider. This means that God will provide how and when He deems appropriate, for His purpose. Until we have gained insight of our complete dependence upon Him, we have not finished learning what the desert has to teach us. The LORD speaks through Jeremiah regarding the cursed and blessed man by likening them to two types of trees. He says, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength … for he will be like a bush in the desert.” And then, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes … (and) will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.” In the original language there is a play on words between “cursed” (arur) and “bush” (arar). The Arar bush (or tree) in this passage is a cruel farce. It is an extremely green and lush looking desert tree that produces fruit. Yet if a desert traveler comes across an Arar and picks its fruit, he will find it to be lacking. It is hollow, filled with webs and dust. The blessed man (who some may recognize also from Psalm 1) is one whose trust isn’t only in the LORD but is the LORD. This man is likened to a tree that will experience heat and drought but yet is planted by water. Similarly, acacia trees grow in wadis, desert valleys that are dry except in rainy seasons. They are productive, dense and strong trees, providing shade, firewood, salve and more. When the LORD provides water for them, they make the most of it within their desert environments. I am sure you have walked more than one desert experience in your life. In some ways, I would suggest that life is a desert. If that journey is travelled in your own ephemeral and empty strength it is like the fruit of the Arar – seemingly good but a mockery of what fruit from a truly productive tree looks like. The LORD wants you to recognize your need for Him as provider because that is what He is. Every man and woman is born spiritually dead, separated from God by his very nature. Any apparently good fruit we produce out of this position is a mockery, filled with webs and dust. God has provided the solution, His Son. Trust in the LORD Jesus Christ today; your life now and eternally depends on it. For those who have taken this first step, the journey has not ended. There will be times in the desert when the heat and thirst will feel overwhelming. Yet, “no temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13).” In the desert, God is provider.

You are wonderful Contrary to the standard Christian Orthodox belief, each one of us was not conceived in sin, raised in sin or dies in sin. We each were born to life to be all that we can be, happy, prosperous and healthy. No demons, saints or angels can deter or alter the direction you have laid before you with your thought. Heretofore our destiny was determined by our parents, teachers and others, however, when we become aware that our use of Mind determines what takes place within and without our environment the responsibility becomes ours. There is only One mind and that Mind is God’s Mind, and we are all using it. If there be a sin it is to fail to use the Mind of God for good and productive ideas, thoughts and behaviors. In archery, a sin means you have missed your mark. Without being overly judgmental I’m sure we can all see quite a few people that have missed the mark and some seem to be pretty Rev. Walt Sharer Columnist good at it. Sinning ceases to block the good and very good when the cause (ignorance) is removed. The safety conscious manufacturers provide labels detailing what you should or not do to ensure your safety. Ladders, appliances and construction equipment have labels for correct usage. For instance, a hair dryer may have a message warning you to not take the product into the shower. We weren’t provided with labels to prevent disaster but we were supplied with Infinite Intelligence, which should give us the sense to do the right thing. I say “should” because many people have not taken the time to listen to the indwelling God. Negativity and sin have a lot in common; both are a detriment to our well-being. We must begin to realize the power we have over our life and experience of living. In Religious Science we don’t claim you can have everything you want, but we do say you can develop the consciousness for everything you want and fulfill your desires. Thoughts lead to the manifestation of forms. Forms are forever coming into being and others are fading out of existence. This is the continuity of life taking place on a daily basis. What you mentally and emotionally release from your world dies out, while what you mentally and emotionally embody is born into your world. New ideas and new thoughts and new attitudes are forever appearing and if received will bring about heaven on earth, providing old, outdated negatives do not lead you on a detour from your desire. Take the time to seek out and destroy these denizens of the deep by declaring their death in your thinking and be free of them. Destroy them with deliberate intent! Your heart’s desires need your full attention and will not be hampered when you cast out the anchors that have kept you mired in the past limitations. Be the wonder you are today! God is Love and Loving You Right Now! (The Rev. Dr. Walt Sharer is minister at Bishop Church of Religious Science, located at 129 E. Line St., Bishop. Rev. Freda Lindsay and Rev.

The church can be reached at (760) 873-4195 for more information.) Applying standards to others Much of the time when we talk about what it is to be a follower of Christ we proclaim all these wonderful ideas and principles we say we believe, as we should. However, there can be two problems with that. The first one is not complicated. When we outright fail to live by what we say we believe we blow it. A saying attributed to the old showman, P.T. Barnum, covers this one, “You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” Sooner or later someone will pick up on a phony and the word will get out. The second problem that gets us into trouble: perceived or actual misapplication of the principles we say we believe. Here’s an example of both. Someone posted a picture of a well-known and influential person and her daughter on Facebook. The caption read, “How beautiful!” Many similar expressions were posted in the comments. Then one per- Philip Severi Columnist son wrote, “The smile does not reach the eyes.” The response to that one comment was to call the person who wrote it a hater. Simple exchange, right? On the surface. Facebook being what it is, I am sure the two people did not know each other. The name caller obviously employed no discernment, making a snap judgment about the attitude and character of the so-called hater. Epic fail. Christian principles got dumped. Why? Condemnation without real facts ignores everything Jesus taught us. What about the no-smilein-the-eye guy? Hard to say at first. He gave us a clue in a later response. He said he looks on the inside as well as on the outside before deciding whether someone was beautiful or not. Discernment, an attempt to understand, seems to be here. Here’s my take. When we try to form an opinion about someone we have four factors available to us: physical appearance, words, actions and thoughts. Physical appearance can be completely divorced from the other three, or it can be a small, partial, reflection of them. Reliance solely on looks is very shallow. Words and actions can be observed. We especially look for them to be in harmony with each other if we are trying to discern a person’s true nature. Thoughts are harder. Words and actions are most often strong indications of them, but the truth is we can never really know with absolute certainty what another person is thinking. After all, we are not God, Who sees a person in totality. That is why the various human authors of the Bible were led by the Holy Spirit to give us guidelines on how to learn about people in both the Old and New Testaments. In every case, what is stated or implied is that it takes time to get to know who people really are. The best example of this is found in Matthew 7:16-20 when Christ likened people to trees. Verse 20 reads, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Fruit takes time to grow and mature. So when we wish to speak about others, we had better be doing so from the vantage point of observation and familiarity. But here’s the other thing. Our own fruit cannot be rotten, our self-discernment shallow. The standards we apply to others we must also apply to ourselves as well. (Philip Severi, a former Bishop resident, previously wrote a weekly column for The Inyo Register. He contributes to this page from his home in Twain Harte.) From the Pulpit Lazarus, come forth Man’s word may be truly powerful in a human sense. With one short sentence, government leaders can send thousands of men and women to war. Yet, no human can raise the dead. Think of the most powerful person ever to live. Could that person speak to a decomposing body or one of ashes and speak life back into it? Too many of us, myself included, live life outside the broad spectrum of God’s resurrection power, not believing this power even to be possible. This power is not a power inside man no matter how much he prays, meditates, worships, or tries his best. This is a power that is all God’s. In John 11:43-44 Jesus raised a real dead man. Had he not specified “Lazarus” by name all the dead would have come alive in body and spirit. We will all be raised again by Almighty God (John 5) either to a resurrection of eternal life or one of eternal condemnation. Because of our sin each of us deserves to receive that latter judgment of condemnation. Jesus came into the world to reverse the curse of condemnation. The fleshly body of Jesus did all that was necessary to reverse that condemnation. In His own body as a true human being He lived a life of holiness. His death was considered the most unholy ever to have taken place. A truly innocent man suffered the sentence of the worst criminal – separation Rev. Kent Puls Columnist from God. All the pain He endured was for your eternal gain. This death atoned for your sin and the resurrection of condemnation that you deserve was turned into a resurrection of life in heaven forever. This gift is for you. Every day you are privileged to grow in faith by pondering the Word of your Lord: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in me, though He dies yet He shall live.” In church this week we will hear the resurrection word. This is an opportunity to receive anew the eternal promises of God our Savior.

Our two old dogs, Luckie and Jack, also consider it bliss … or at least fun. What is your idea of misery? Personally, being surrounded by those who thrive on negativity and hatred. Expanded to a global scale, poverty, prejudice, war and genocide. With whom do you identify from history? St. Peter and Mary Magdalene have always resonated with me. They are very human in their struggles, yet through faith and grace, their are changed and inspire others. In-Depth & Personal with Alisa Lynch Alisa Lynch grew up in California’s Gold Country with her mom, Mary, and older brother, Martin. She graduated from California State University Stanislaus, with a BA in drama/English and teaching credentials in Secondary English and Social Studies and Primary K-8. She began working for the National Park Service as a seasonal ranger in 1989 and decided to make it a career. Over the past 26 years, she has worked as a park ranger in Yosemite, Big Bend National Park in West Texas and Mount Rainier National Park, Wash. Her career has taken her to Independence Hall in Philadelphia – the birthplace of the U.S. Constitution – to Manzanar National Historic Site – where that Constitution’s guarantees were denied to thousands of U.S. citizens. Lynch has been the chief of interpretation at Manzanar since Sept. 9, 2001. Working with a talented and dedicated team at Manzanar, she oversees visitor services, education, outreach, publications, exhibit design, social media and oral history. She has assisted with planning efforts at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, Bainbridge Island in Washington, and Tule Lake and Alcatraz in California. She is also working with other civil rights sites through the National Park Service’s “Arc to Equality” Initiative. Lynch married her “Priority Male” Alan Broch in September 2013. Broch, who grew up in Big Pine, works for the US Postal Service in Independence. They live happily in Independence with their two dogs, two cats, and many friends. Who do you admire? First and foremost, my mom, Marilyn Fischer Lynch. In my decade ana a half at Manzanar, I’ve come to know many, many people who inspire me and bless my life. And, of course, I admire my husband, Alan, whose heart is filled with kindness and compassion. What among your traits do you dislike the most? Frustration and mental and physical clutter. What trait do you most dislike in others? Hatred. What scares you? In my own life, losing the people I love. In the bigger picture, seeing hatred-fueled extremism of all types. What is your extravagance? Thrift stores! I love going to the IMAH thrift store in Bishop. Alan might say too many books, shoes and cars. What is a favorite trip you have taken? Our honeymoon trip to Victoria and Sooke, British Columbia, in 2013. My trip to Italy with friends in 2005 was also amazing. Ideal: go to Italy with Alan and have the best of both trips! Where would you like to live? Bainbridge Island, WA in the summer and Independece for the rest of the year. I really like Mammoth but could never afford it. Do you ever lie? I try very hard not to. Occassionally, I avoid being totally candid because I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. Who is the greatest love of your life? Anytime you fall in love, you think it’s the greatest! I suspect I’m not alone in having some twists and turns in life before unexpectedly finding the greatest: my husband, Alan. He works for the USPS so I call him my “Priority Male.” We even had a love stamps theme at our wedding. When in your life were you the happiest? There are many kinds of happiness. The six years I spent living and working in Big Bend National Park in West Texas were a lot of fun. But, my 15 years in living in Independence and working at Manzanar also are largely happy and deeply rewarding. Like the slogan says, it’s the hardest job you’ll ever love. What hidden talent do you have? I don’t know. It must still be hidden. What natural talent do you wish you had? Singing. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Being part of the team that has made Manzanar a place where passion for history and compassion for others make a difference. In your next life, you want to be … With God, surrounded by peace and light and loved ones. What is your favorite way of relaxing? Camping. What is your present state of mind? Hopeful. What quality do you most admire in a person? Empathy. What fault can you most easily forgive or overlook? Misguided efforts to do the “right” thing. Who is your favorite fictional or nonfictional hero? There are many, but Mother Teresa is pretty amazing. How would you like to die? Peacefully, surrouneded by those I love, going into the arms of those I love… to God. What is your motto? “Live and let live” If you have another resident in Inyo County that you’d like to get “In-Depth & Personal” with, email that person’s name and contact info to Terrance Vestal at tvestal@ inyoregister.com.

Are you stressed out? When you’re really stressed out, you’re probably already aware of it – but stress also can impact you in other ways, sometimes when you don’t even realize it. According to the American Heart Association, stress can manifest in physical ways including headache; backache; neck ache; stomach ache; tight muscles; clenched jaw; low energy level and fitful sleep. Stress also can manifest emotionally, with issues including anxiety; anger; depression; helplessness; feeling out of control; tension; being easily irritated and impatience. Keep Stress Levels Down Here are some tips to keep your stress levels down: If possible, stop what you are doing and take a short walk; get a drink of water or juice; take a few slow deep breaths; listen to some soothing music; do something you enjoy; watch a funny movie; exercise; learn to accept what you can’t change; talk to a friend or confidant; get plenty of sleep; set realistic expectations; learn to say no; organize and prioritize. Try not to sweat the small stuff The American Heart Association notes one of the best ways to avoid stress is to remember to laugh. Laughter makes us feel good. Don’t be afraid to laugh out loud at a joke, a funny movie or a comic strip, even when you’re alone. Pacing yourself also is important, as we need to remember to slow down. Try to “pace” instead of “race.” Plan ahead and allow enough time to get the most important things done without having to rush. Being organized is another way to avoid stress and can help avoid situations that might stress you out. Use “to do” lists to help you focus on your most important tasks. Approach big tasks one step at a time. For example, start by organizing just one part of your life — your car, desk, kitchen, closet, cupboard or drawer. Keep your perspective A hobby can be a great stress reliever, and there are few hobbies better than volunteering in your community and giving back. Find out about the nonprofits in your community and how you might be able to help by donating your time. Helping those in need is a great stress reliever and can help give you more perspective on your own problems. your health | COMMON CONDITIONS Eye On Blood Pressure Y our blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against your blood vessel walls.

The Inyo Register B-4 Your HEALTH your health | WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT saturday, APRIL 16, 2016 The Effects of Obesity O besity is a growing health threat in our country, though there are some steps you can take to avoid it. The National Health, Lung and Blood Institute recommends following a healthy eating plan and making healthy food choices while also keeping tabs on how many calories you consume. Another major factor: portion size. Watch the portion sizes in fast food and other restaurant meals. The portions served often are enough for two or three people. Children’s portion sizes should be smaller than those for adults. Another recurring theme: Be active. Make personal and family time active. Find activities that everyone will enjoy. For example, go for a brisk walk, bike or rollerblade, or train together for a walk or run. Reduce screen time. Limit the use of TVs, computers, DVDs and video games because they limit time for physical activity. Health experts recommend two hours or less a day of screen time that’s not work- or homework-related. By the numbers Data from 2009-2010 provided by The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition indicates that over 78 million U.S. adults and about 12.5 million (16.9 percent) children and adolescents are obese. Recent reports project that by 2030, half of all adults (115 million adults) in the United States will be obese. Overweight adolescents have a 70 percent chance of becoming overweight or obese adults. For children with disabilities, obesity rates are approximately 38 percent higher than for children without disabilities. It gets worse for the adult population. Obesity rates for adults with disabilities are approximately 57 percent higher than for adults without disabilities. Statistics show obesity has skyrocketed since the 1970s, with the number of states with obese adults and children typically doubling or tripling over the past 40 years. The next generation Nearly 45 percent of children living in poverty are overweight or obese compared with 22 percent of children living in households with incomes four times the poverty level. Almost 40 percent of black and Latino youth ages 2 to 19 are overweight or obese compared with only 29 percent of white youth. Obesity among children in the United States has remained flat — at around 17 percent — in 2003-2004 and 2011-2012. Between 2003 and 2012, obesity among children between 2 and 5 years of age has declined from 14 percent to 8 percent — a 43 percent decrease in just under a decade. Obesity rates in children 6 to 11 years old have decreased from 18.8 percent in 2003-2004 to 17.7 percent in 2011-2012; obesity rates for children 12 to 19 years old have increased from 17.4 percent to 20.5 percent in the same time period. The Inyo Register Your HEALTH B-5 saturday, APRIL 16, 2016 your health | FOOD How To Eat Healthy E xercise and remaining active play a key role in your health – but so does what you actually put into your body. Here are some tips from the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition that serve as a great place to start. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables The council recommends choosing red, orange and dark-green vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes and broccoli, along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert. The more colorful you make your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals and fiber your body needs to be healthy. Make half the grains you eat whole grains So how can you avoid high blood pressure? Take steAn easy way to eat more whole grains is to switch from a refined-grain food to a whole-grain food. For example, eat whole-wheat bread instead of white bread. Read the ingredients list and choose products that list whole-grain ingredients first. Look for things like “whole wheat,” “brown rice,” “bulgur,” “buckwheat,” “oatmeal,” “rolled oats,” quinoa” or “wild rice.” Choose a variety of lean protein foods The council notes meat, poultry, seafood, dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts and seeds are considered part of the protein foods group. Select leaner cuts of ground beef (where the label says 90 percent lean or higher), turkey breast or chicken breast. Keep up with your sodium Use the Nutrition Facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods such as soup, bread and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” “reduced sodium” or “no salt added.” Trade that soda for a bottle of water The council notes you can easily cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in American diets. Try adding a slice of lemon, lime or watermelon or a splash of 100 percent juice to your glass of water if you want some flavor. Cut back the sweets The council recommends eating fewer foods that contain solid fats. The major sources for Americans are cakes, cookies and other desserts (often made with butter, margarine, or shortening); pizza; processed and fatty meats (e.g., sausages, hot dogs, bacon, ribs); and ice cream. your health | COMMON CONDITIONS Eye On Your Cholesterol A s the American Heart Association notes, high cholesterol is one of the major controllable risk factors for coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke. The basics Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes from two sources: your body and food, per the AHA. Your body, and especially your liver, makes all the cholesterol you need and circulates it through the blood. Cholesterol is also found in foods from animal sources, such as meat, poultry and full-fat dairy products. Your liver produces more cholesterol when you eat a diet high in saturated and trans fats. Excess cholesterol can form plaque between layers of artery walls, making it harder for your heart to circulate blood. Plaque be needed to reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke. Use the information provided here to start a conversation with your doctor about how cholesterol affects your heart attack and stroke risk and what you can do to lower your risk. can break open and cause blood clots. If a clot blocks an artery that feeds the brain, it causes a stroke. If it blocks an artery that feeds the heart, it causes a heart attack. The two types There are two types of cholesterol: “good” and “bad.” Too much of one type — or not enough of another — can put you at risk for coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke. It’s important to know the levels of cholesterol in your blood so that you and your doctor can determine the best strategy to lower your risk. Making healthy eat- ing choices and increasing exercise are important first steps in improving your cholesterol. For some people, cholesterol-lowering medication also may Connection to heart disease As your blood cholesterol rises, so does your risk of coronary heart disease. If you have other risk factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure or diabetes, this risk increases even further. The greater the level of each risk factor, the more that factor affects your overall risk. Your cholesterol level can be affected by your age, gender, family health history and diet. When too much LDL (bad) cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain, according to the AHA. Together with other substances, cholesterol can form a thick, hard deposit called plaque that can narrow the arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, a heart attack or stroke can result.
