Photo by Louis Israel Manzanar group calls Thomas comments ‘appalling’ Supreme Court justice upbraided for citing dignity of oppressed people as reason to deny constitutional rights By Darcy Ellis Managing Editor Bruce Embrey, Manzanar Committee Co-Chair INDEX Arts................... 14 Badge................. 6 Calendar.......... 11 Classifieds.......... 8 Faces................... 7 Pro Sports........ 13 TV Listings.......... 6 Weather............. 2 Statements made late last week by one of the U.S. Supreme Court justices in reference to civil rights have drawn the ire of the Manzanar Committee. A non-profit organization dedicated to raising public awareness about the incarceration of Japanese Americans at detention camps during World War II, the Manzanar Committee has denounced remarks made by Justice Clarence Thomas during the High Court’s historic, 5-4 ruling to legalize same-sex marriage in the U.S. The controversial ruling effectively legalizes same-sex marriage throughout the nation, nullifying and prevent- ing state bans on the unions. The crux of the debate for the Supreme Court came down to whether denying gays the right to marry was denying them equal rights and dignity in the eyes of the law. Last Friday, Thomas ignited additional controversy while trying to make a point about African Americans and Japanese Americans retaining their dignity despite past oppression, and why the gay community would similarly not lose dignity by being denied the right to marry.

Vol. 145, Issue 79 The drought is as bad as it looks. And it’s probably going to be looking a lot worse as the summer wears on. After hearing that sober assessment, the Inyo County Water Commission wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s plans to drill three new productionsized water wells to tap underground aquifers in Bishop and Big Pine. “We’re in the worst drought ever,” noted commissioner Craig Patten, “and DWP is wants to drill new wells? That’s bordering on insanity.” While some commissioners brought up the idea of trying to block any new wells, the full commission reached a general consensus that the county should closely monitor the process used by LADWP and the county for assessing and approving the proposed new wells. Construction of the new wells is tentatively slated for October or November.

Photo by Alyse Bertenthal Thanks to popular fiction and film, we’ve had ample opportunity to learn about the “secret life” of bees. But what about their keepers? This year’s Independence Fourth of July grand marshals, Philip and John Baxter, are well known for their sweet Baxter Honey, which they’ve been producing and selling in the Owens Valley for decades. Residents and visitors will be able to help recognize the Baxter brothers, and the Baxter family’s place in local history, as the pair rides in Saturday’s July 4 parade in Independence, starting at 10 a.m. The Baxter family has been in the Owens Valley for more than a century.

THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015 3 wells Continued from front page commission also stressed the county should make sure safeguards are in place to ensure any new wells are closely monitored so any pumping from the wells will not provide water for export, damage the environment or have a negative impact on existing wells and other nearby water users and uses. “It’s pretty basic stuff,” said Commission Chair Mike Prather. “We don’t want any more impacts” from groundwater pumping. After LADWP has presented detailed information about all the proposed wells and their potential impacts, “we have to be ready as a county to pull the trigger on a ‘no’ if this look and smells bad,” Patten suggested. Stark data about the impact of virtually no snowpack on streams and creeks preceded the discussion about the new wells, and confirmed observations about low stream levels. With LADWP not exporting Owens Valley water until later this year, there are sections of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in the Lone Pine area holding what appears to be inches of water, not several feet, Prather said. And LADWP is placing small dams in the aqueduct to try and back up water so it can be used for irrigation. (The Inyo L.A. Standing Committee will meet July 24 to discuss the status of efforts to reallocate water for irrigation and Owens Valley uses for the rest of the summer.) Prather estimated that Cottonwood Creek, south of Lone Pine, was running at 50 percent of normal, at best. Inyo County Water Department Director Bob Harrington said recent readings peg the amount of water flowing in Big Pine Creek at 46 percent of average. Baker Creek and Independence creeks are both running at about 27 percent of average for this time of year. Bishop Creek is running at about 50 percent of normal, Harrington said, with only about 70 cubic feet per second (cfs) in the stream, compared to 70 cfs during a more normal year. Several factors besides low snowpack are affecting Bishop Creek. Southern California Edison controls the water releases into Bishop Creek after water from South Lake and Lake Sabrina is used to generate hydro power in Edison’s Bishop Creek power plants. Edison’s water releases must also comply with the Chandler Decree, a court ruling that spells out how much water should flow to irrigators and other water users downstream of Edison. The Chandler Decree mandates flows of about 106 cfs in the summer months. Harrington provided a chart showing how in the past two years, higher flows in the summer close to that benchmark were followed dramatic drops in in the fall and winter. This year, the low flows have been fairly steady, leading Patten to conclude that since South Lake is essentially “empty,” Edison was “holding back water” in Sabrina so it could release it later in the year. “Sabrina is coming up, you can see it,” he said. Patten added that by July and August Bishop Creek’s flows will likely drop off significantly. Due to low snowpack and water management decisions, low flows in Bishop Creek have in the past couple of years have lowered the area’s water table, dried up ditches and dried up some domestic water wells in West Bishop. Both new wells in the Bishop area, one by South Schober Lane and one by the Bishop Gun Club north of town, are included in the 1991 Long Term Water Agreement and Environmental Impact Report, so the formal environmental work on them is complete, Harrington said. However, the Inyo L.A. Technical Group must review the proposed wells. Harrington said LADWP will prepare a detailed “pre-construction evaluation” of the wells and their potential impacts, a monitoring and well-testing plan, and an operational plan. It’s pretty basic “stuff. We don’t want any more impacts from groundwater pumping. ”– Mike Prather, Chair, Inyo County Water Commission Commissioner Terri Red Owl brought up a larger point. She said her concern was LADWP will eventually replace surface water with pumped water to meet its mandated obligations in the Bishop area for irrigation and enhancement and mitigation measures. That would create a long-term set of issues and concerns, especially if the surface water is “diverted” into the Owens River and then the L.A. Aqueduct. Commissioner Mike Carrington of Big Pine also listed a series of concerns and possible negative impacts from a new well in Bell Canyon, which would supply water to the Big Pine Ditch system. That well is also part of the LTWA, but is also subject Tech Group review. As with the other wells, a preconstruction report, well testing and an operational plan will be submitted by LADWP for review later this summer. Two other new wells – replacing a 1928-vintage well in Laws and a new domestic water well for the Cottonwood Power Plant -- will not undergo that level of scrutiny, based on the guidelines in the LTWA.

Continued from front page heard about the Cerro Gordo Mine, and decided to continue north. Soon after settling in the valley, the brothers’ grandfather met their grandmother, who, according to John, had “followed the circus” to Lone Pine. They set up a house north of town, and when surveyors came through the area in 1875, they stayed with the Baxters. The legacy of the Baxter hospitality lives on, for, as John noted, the surveyors “named several places for us – like Baxter Mountain and Baxter Pass.” Philip spent much of his childhood on a ranch outside the valley, but he followed his father to Independence in 1929. John, who is 10 years younger than Philip, joined them when he was about seven, after his father had purchased what they now call the Baxter Ranch. The story of that ranch is a fitting tale for Independence Day. In John’s words: The previous owner “tried to sell it (the ranch) to the city for 2,500 dollars and they offered him 15 for it. Well, he told the city he wasn’t going to sell it to them for 1,500 dollars. And he was talking to a group of people at quitting time out in the shop and he says, ‘I’d sell it to anybody else for 1,500 dollars except the city.’ My dad pulled a silver dollar out of his pocket and he says, ‘Here’s the down payment.’” Philip and John Baxter have a lot of good memories of their life in the Owens Valley. When asked to describe his favorite thing about living in the valley, Philip confessed, “Well, I’m doing my favorite thing: I’m retired … I like to go up to the ranch and watch the cattle and so on and so forth. I don’t know what I’d do without it. And there’s not much of that left in this country.” John also appreciates living in the valley. “Well,” he said, “one thing about it is Owens Valley, as far as I’m concerned, has got as good a climate as you can find anywhere.” The climate isn’t always perfect, however. John and Philip recounted one freakishly cold Fourth of July: “They had a ball game in Lone Pine,” John remembered. “The snow got four inches deep and they called the game off. On the Fourth of July! It can snow every day of the year here. But it hasn’t for a long time.” Snow or no snow, the Baxters said that they enjoy the holiday. Philip looks forward to the fireworks, and John recalled, “I used to enjoy the Fourth of July when I was a kid. We’d buy these fire- crackers, then we’d light them off. Bang! Bang! Bang! … They didn’t used to have fireworks back then like they do now. Because they didn’t have a fire department. They had one truck with a water tank on it – that was it.” As for bees, Philip confided that the secret is “keeping them alive.” It’s an important job, and not as straightforward as it sounds. “They pollinate everything,” Philip explained. “They got to have bees to pollinate the crops.” But bees also need rain, so making honey means following the rain. “When we have to, we can put those bees on a truck and away we go,” Philip said. “(We) just have to do things as they come along.” Philip’s son, David Baxter, runs the bee business now, leaving Philip and John to enjoy their retirement. “You know, when you’re working for somebody,” John mused, “you never do anything tomorrow that you can do today. But when you’re retired, you never do anything today that you can do tomorrow.” That sounds like sage advice for retirees and holiday revelers alike. So, go ahead, put things off until tomorrow, and enjoy this Fourth of July. Your grand marshals, Philip and John Baxter, would most certainly approve.

Jon A. Peterson Inyo County IN APPRECIATION Exchange student’s grandfather grateful to Bishop (The following was originally sent to Bishop Lions Club member Stan Smith, with a copy forwarded to The Inyo Register for publication. –Ed.) Dear Lionsfriend Smith and dear members of the Lions Club Bishop! I am writing this letter to thank you tremendously for taking care of my granddaughter Barbara during her exchange year in Bishop. I thank you also for all the pictures you mailed and information you mailed to us. Naturally it was very calming and also interesting to see what Barbara has seen and experiences she made. You have been so kind to her, welcoming her to your Lions Club, helping her in many ways, bringing the American way of life close to her. I am sure that this exchange year is formative for her life, in being open to other cultures, in tolerance, in esteeming our own country and values. I know that the organization for hosting foreign students is a lot of work and a lot of responsibility. All the more we are thankful to all the people who made it possible for Barbara to experience this exchange year in Bishop, in such a wonderful way. We greatly missed her the last year and are looking forward to her coming home, but our missing her was a small thing compared to the benefits to her, and the friendships that will last her lifetime. I wish all the best to you and all the people who were helping her in so many ways during this year in Bishop. I want to assure you that you are welcome in Austria whenever you like. Let us know when you intend to visit Austria. Thank you again, and best wishes to you and your club members for your Lions Club programs in the future.

Photo courtesy Eastern California Museum thomas Continued from front page The Manzanar Committee quickly responded by calling the comments not just misguided, ignorant and offensive, but “appalling.” The fight of gay Americans to attain equal rights under the law has been an ongoing struggle with which members of the Manzanar Committee can empathize. Many of the committee’s activists are second-generation citizens whose parents were forced to live behind barbed wire and under the watch of armed guards during World War II. These citizens, because of their Japanese ancestory, were deemed less entitled to basic human rights than other Americans, including freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Two-thirds of the citizens interned were born in America, including the late Sue Embrey who, against initial resistance from a still-traumatized Japanese American community and an embarrassed U.S. government, fought to establish the Manzanar National Historic Site. According to Manzanar Co-Chair and Sue’s son, Bruce Embrey, among his mother’s early allies and helpers were gay and lesbian members of the Japanese American community. “So this really hits close to home for us,” Embrey said of the Supreme Court decision. In general, he explained, the Manzanar Committee feels a responsibility to speak out and offer assistance any time a group’s civil and constitutional rights are at risk or outright being violated. It’s why, Embrey said, the committee has been outspoken against anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment in America, as well as the demonizing of an entire religion based on the actions of a few. And it’s why, when news of the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of same-sex marriage came down last Friday, the Manzanar Committee was among those celebrating. “Thankfully, the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court clearly sees the importance of ensuring LGBT people will no longer be denied the same rights we all enjoy,” Embrey said. “Marriage equality is a right for all people.” Elation aside, the committee could not let Thomas’ statements go unchallenged. “We felt compelled to address his comments and we feel the Japanese American community has a legacy and a particular responsibility to advocate for every group that’s denied constitutional liberties,” he said. Among the assertions Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court made by Justice Thomas is the suggestion that being denied civil rights does not mean being denied one’s dignity. “… Human dignity cannot be taken away by the government. Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved,” Thomas wrote. “Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits. The government cannot bestow dignity, and it cannot take it away.” Embrey, said Thomas, in referring to the internees of the 10 World War II detention camps, simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about. “There is no doubt that oppressed people throughout history have managed to maintain their dignity,” Embrey said. “Our families managed to remain dignified and proud despite being subjected to the humiliation and violence while forcibly removed from their homes and communities at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt after the outbreak of World War II.” Even so, Embrey said, Thomas is way off base. “It is a dangerous and troubling sign that a United States Supreme Court Justice apparently believes that because people can maintain their dignity despite horrific oppression, incarceration or deprivation of civil rights, they do not need equal protection under the law,” said Embrey. “Following his logic, it appears that if Justice Thomas had been a member of Congress during the struggle for redress and reparations, he would he have held that the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was not necessary since the Japanese American people maintained their digni- ty.” Embrey continued, “It is simply astounding that Justice Thomas apparently has no understanding of our history, and of the relationship between our government and the people. Our government took away our community’s liberty, civil and human rights, and facilitated the economic and social devastation of the Japanese American community.” According to Justice Thomas, however, it is not the government’s responsibility to provide for either liberty or dignity in the first place. “Our Constitution – like the Declaration of Independence before it – was predicated on a simple truth: One’s liberty, not to mention one’s dignity, was something to be shielded from – and not provided by – the State,” Thomas wrote on Page 49 of the court’s ruling. What Thomas fails to recognize, according to Embrey and other civil rights leaders, is either the 13th or 14th amendments, the former of which abolished slavery. The Manzanar Committee points out that the 14th Amendment was clearly intended to preserve personal freedoms, dictating that “… No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” And it was a violation of the 14th Amendment that Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer ultimately saw when considering whether bans on same-sex marriage should be allowed to stand. In the majority ruling written by Justice Kennedy, he states that gay Americans not only have a constitutional right to marry in all 50 states, but a right to equal dignity as well. In acknowledging that opposition will remain and debate should continue, Kennedy wrote on page 32, “The Constitution, however, does not permit the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the same terms as accorded to couples of the opposite sex.” On page 33 he continued, “Their hope is not be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.” The Inyo Register 6 THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015 BADGE BYLINE The following is a compilation of information taken from the daily activities logs at the Bishop Police Department and the Bishop and Lone Pine Inyo County Sheriff’s departments.

I cut them out and save every one because I love to hike and his articles make me want to go on every hike he writes about. I also enjoy the Horoscope section. I don’t normally like them, but the one you feature is always really good! I also really like that you include stories and photos of the CoOp people down in Independence. I am a strong supporter of them. Thank you Inyo Register! Philly Brooks, Bishop, CA ” “Strong Editorial Newspapers Build Strong Communities” The Inyo Register 1108 N.

However, she still owns the house we grew up in and two of my siblings now live there for free. My sister is 60, and my brother is 46. Neither has worked for years. I talk to my mother about it all the time, telling her she is not doing them any favors by allowing this to go on. Can you tell her what a horrible thing it is to enable two perfectly capable grown adults this way? My mother is 82. What will they do when she is gone? I have two other siblings and the three of us don’t take advantage of our mother this way. – Not Right Dear Not: We agree that this type of financial enabling is a huge liability. But a good work ethic and accountability need to be instilled when young. Your mother may consider these two children to be incapable of working, and that her support is all that keeps them off the streets. She does it out of compassion and guilt. She isn’t asking us for advice, nor is she likely to take it, even if we point out the problems this will create when she is no longer in the picture. Your mother should have a legal will to minimize disputes about her property and money. It’s her decision, whether or not you agree. Your focus should be on forgiving all of them for what they are not, and then doing what you need to do in order to be sure that COMMUNITY CALENDAR Private businesses or groups holding events for profit are not eligible to use this section.

The wise don’t care about being first in line. Whatever your place today, you’ll hold it with the kind of detached confidence that attracts the very best. Your way will be made easily. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’d like to have more self-discipline. This isn’t a matter of forcing yourself to do what you don’t want to do. It’s about building rewards so luscious that they motivate you to follow through with your intentions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What the day needs is an invigorating challenge to kick things off on the right note. Instead of making a list of things to do today, make a list of things to do before 1 p.m. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re getting better, mostly because when you discover your errors, you rejoice at another opportunity to improve. This attitude will take you to mastery. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is the time of year when the Facebook pages are filled with vacations that look more glamorous than yours. Just know that everyone feels that way. As a matter of fact, someone is envying your posts today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Whatever your game, this is the start of a hot streak. Between here and the weekend, there will be several small wins that add up to something you’ve wanted for a long time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be choosing quickly and sometimes wrongly. That’s fine, too. Wrong choices lead to right choices as long as you’re committed to learning from them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you fear losing something, you Holiday Mathis hold onto it too tightly. What if you were to go the other way and let go? It might not be time yet, but you have to admit that this fear is no fun to live with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s said that fate doesn’t like to be tempted. And yet there is a curious provocateur in you who wants to push the fates and see just how far they will go before they retaliate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Keeping your skills current requires some dedication, and you’re willing to put in the work. Doing so before it’s really necessary will give you an advantage later. You’ll be ready for an opportunity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most people fail more than they succeed. Great people have failed greatly. Failure is part of life, and fearing it can only hold us back. Befriend it instead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). With an enhanced ability to organize the future, you’ll create a scenario so grand that even you are not sure you’ll be able to pull it off. Leave room for spontaneous magic. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). It’s time for some entertainment and fun. You’ll get extra funds for this kind of thing over the next seven weeks. September has you heading up a family project. The investment of your time and energy will pay off in November as it should, and later in unexpected ways. Your love life heats up in January. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 27, 39, 12, 24 and 18. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Talk about yourself candidly. Your comfort level with who you are is attractive. TAURUS: You’ll present yourself in a way that’s different from the one you’d normally choose. This is only the beginning of your next evolution. GEMINI: You don’t have to be someone else to fit in. Express your unique perspective. It’s exactly what the scene needs. CANCER: You’ll protect the defenseless, balance the energy of intense people and tend to the lonely. LEO: The best thing you can do on a date is relax. It puts the other person at ease. VIRGO: You appreciate beautiful people, but if someone proves unkind or thoughtless, all beauty drains quickly from view. LIBRA: You gain interest by expressing yourself. You lose it in the same way, though, if you’re not careful to share the spotlight. SCORPIO: Your praise and support is more of a special gift than you might realize. SAGITTARIUS: The one for you is an honest person who isn’t out to fool anyone (especially not himself or herself). CAPRICORN: A change of scenery will make you feel in love again. AQUARIUS: Insightful compliments will get you everywhere. PISCES: The cross-pollination of two parts of your life will result in a beautiful hybrid. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: The moon’s position in Aquarius and the sun’s in Cancer highlight the attraction between these two signs. Cancer’s emotional approach to life fits with that free-spirited part of Aquarius, resulting in a couple who can stay in the moment together, open to what love brings. Cancer gives Aquarius creature comforts, while Aquarius loves to share with Cancer the swirling fun of Aquarius’ offbeat world.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Pat,” who spends up to 12 hours a day helping her elderly mother at the nursing home and gets frustrated because other residents don’t receive as many visits from their family members. My 82-year-old mother is in an assisted living residence in Florida. I am a young, widowed working mother, living 700 miles away. I am also an only child. I do what I can for my mom, calling several times a week, sending cards, packages and flowers, and following up with the staff and her medical providers to ensure that she is well taken care of. I visit when I can, but it is an expensive flight or a 13-hour drive. Of course I wish I could visit more, but that is not possible. Suggesting that absent Kathy & Marcy family members “don’t care” simplifies the reality for many of us. Not everyone has the luxury of time and proximity that Pat does, and she should consider herself fortunate for her arrangement. – Sandwich Generation Dear Sandwich: You are Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Bringing the heat Bishop’s All-star pitcher Austin Bowlan had a 22-run lead after the first inning, but he pitched an impressive shutout anyway in the 2015 Little League Tournament. Bishop plays their second game tonight at 8 p.m. under the lights at owens Valley Career Development Field at Barlow and Diaz on the Bishop Paiute Tribe Reservation. Kern Valley may have lost 36-0, but it’s a double elimination tournament so they had a second chance to get a win last night against Mono County. Photo by Louis Israel On the Owens Dealing with the heat As soon as March arrives I start to get worried because I know it’s going to heat up and we’ll be sweating to death for the next six months. Drought is wreaking havoc and it doesn’t look like it will end soon. As of June 11, 2015 the Fish and Game Commission has approved temporary emergency regulations; in a nutshell it states that certain waters may be closed if conditions get bad enough and won’t be reopened until all conditions improve. You can go to the department’s website to learn more: www.wildlife.ca.gov/ Regulations. Getting out and fishing the cooler parts of the day like early morning and late evening is a good way to avoid the heat. Many aquatic insects will also choose to hatch during these times for the same reason. Dress appropriately, whether on the river or in the backcountry, to protect yourself from the sun. There are a lot of great fabrics available today that make it easy to completely cover up and stay cool. The sun reflects off the water so Jarett Coons CoLUMnisT any part of you not covered is at risk. I know that shorts sound like a good idea when it’s hot but they leave your shins and legs prone to sunburn. Sunscreen on the ears, nose and face is also a good idea even if you have a hat – again the sun reflects. It only takes minutes to burn so protect yourself. Drink lots of water. If you’re like me it is easy to forget this. Once I hit the river I don’t think about anything but fishing. Make yourself drink even if you don’t feel thirsty. Dehydration can set in quickly in the extreme temperatures. If your favorite trout stream is getting too warm to fish we have many great warm-water fisheries to choose from. Try something new if you have never caught a carp or bass on the fly you are missing out on a lot of fun. We have such a wide variety of fishing there are always options, don’t cancel a trip because your favorite water isn’t fishing well. If living here has taught me anything it’s you have to roll with the punches, the weather is usually against you and you are going to have to adapt, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be fun. The following sponsors wish you a happy and safe Fourth of July! (Jarett Coons was born in Bishop and spent the majority of his life fishing and hunting from Lone Pine to Bridgeport. When his father took him to Intake II, Coons got his first trout on a dry fly, and he, too, was hooked. In January 2010, he started Sierra Mountain Trout Guide Service with the goal of recreating that moment on Intake II for his clients all over the Eastern Sierra.) FISHING REPORT LakE SabrIna FREE FISHING DAY JULY 4! Hard to believe this weekend is the Fourth of July, but with the run-off peaking, the warm temps (maybe that should be HOT temps) and the cooling afternoon thunderboomers, summer has definitely arrived. Oh, and we absolutely cannot forget the skeeters – once it warmed up, we never got that cold weather to take out the first batch of the humongous buggers – so be prepared. The run-off is pretty much kaput. The lake’s come up high enough that the rock pile out in front of the building became a peninsula during Sunday night. The lake should remain at its current level for a few months, but as the demand for water continues, the lake will start dropping (like normal) towards the end of summer. Catching slowed a bit this past week – not sure if it was the hot weather or the thunderboomers moving in, but it took a bit of patience to get your limit. None of the big fish from Desert Spring Trout Farm came out of the lake that we know of (and we sure do appreciate a photo op when we can get it). You all know what usually works out on the lake – at the inlets it’s nightcrawlers, jigs (Sierra Slammers), PowerBait or Thomas Buoyants (we recommend the red and gold ones). If you’re trolling, troll along the shoreline with lures (that would be something with a bit of red on them) or a nightcrawler.

Baseball’s annual All-Star Game is just a couple of weeks away and again this year, the winning league will have home-field advantage a few months later in the World Series. Since 2003, home-field in the Fall Classic is based solely on the winner of that year’s All-Star Game, not overall best record. You can say that the change has resulted in a more competitive and somewhat enjoyable Midsummer Classic, despite the lack of offense and the usual dominance of the pitching in a game like this. Former Commissioner Bud Selig used to embrace the idea with fervor: he maintained that players have a greater incentive to come to the game, cheer on their teammates and truly care about the result. Whereas, in the past, when the All-Star Game meant nothing, players were more inclined to take the three days off to rehab injuries, rather than travel to the All-Star Game. But should three hours in July determine which team is awarded critical home-field advantage in the World Series? Former Atlanta Brave and future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones is quoted as saying, “To be honest, the players still treat it as an exhibition game. If you want to really ride everything on it, take the nine best players from each league and let them go at it for nine innings. Don’t give them an at-bat here and an at-bat there, because that doesn’t tell you anything. If you want to put Craig Jackson sports Columnist so much on one game, then you have to have the elite of the elite play all nine innings and have your manager fill in the cracks as you go.” Interesting concept but never will happen. This all started in Milwaukee at the All-Star Game in 2002 when the game ended in an 11-inning, 7-7 tie because both teams ran out of players and baseball immediately went into a full-scale panic. They wanted the AllStar Game to have some meaning in the future. Last year the Kansas City Royals had home-field advantage, and a better season record, than the San Francisco Giants but still lost the World Series, four games to three. This year, eight Royals are on track to start at the All-Star Game based on fans voting as much as they want online. With the All-Star Game having so much meaning, should the players be chosen this way? Here’s a little info about the 2015 All-Star Game on Noticing the completely obvious Tuesday, July 14 at Great America Ballpark in Cincinnati: Omar Infante of the Royals is hitting .204, has the worst on-base-plus-slugging percentage, and could be benched in favor of a prospect by the Royals. Yet currently, he would be the starting second baseman in the Midsummer Classic. The Royals haven’t had a starter voted in by the fans since 2000; this year they have eight. Remember those good ol’ days of sitting in a ballpark and taking a pen to poke through five or 10 ballots, stuffing the box for your favorite players? Those days are long gone. This is the first year Major League Baseball went to exclusively online voting and the Royals, more than any other team, have pounced. In baseball, teams play 162 games in the regular season over six hot months and the team that compiles the best overall record should have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But for one All-Star Game 13 years ago, and a commissioner bent on “improving” the game, the best overall record becomes somewhat irrelevant, and that’s a shame.

Example: No need to update the Cardinals’ loss column, cause they haven’t lost a game since the last input a week ago? – Center stage, spotlight, hello gorgeous. Example: The Reds have an interesting rookie named Michael Lorenzen who is 3-2 in his first 10 starts in the majors? – Will not appear on this frequency. Example: The American League East is a logjam with every team but the Red Sox having taken at least a small turn in first place? – Extremely obvious when cutting and pasting a new team on top of the division each week. Example: Are Yasiel Puig’s strikeouts coming because he’s chasing the curveball? – Deep question … don’t look for the answer here. But more obviousness? The Nationals slowly but surely rising to the top of the NL East, and the fact that the Mets had an awful hot start but are looking firmly wedged in second place now. Louis Israel sports Columnist To make a wildcard run, the Mets will need to make moves to bolster the team at the trade deadline, which is a problem they should be happy to finally have since they haven’t been competitive enough for the trade deadline to matter to them in about 10 years. The Dodgers and Giants, battling in the standings, in front of the rest far enough that it figures that once again one will be the division winner, the other in the wildcard. It’s got to be frustrating for the Dodgers, looking like the best of the NL West every year, and every year the Giants last longer. Saying “maybe this is their year” is bordering on broken-record status with these Dodgers, but, the team is stacked again, what the heck … maybe this is their year. It’s weird seeing the Royals and the Astros on top of their respective divisions. Somehow, even with the Tigers and Twins behind them, the Royals seem like a solid pick to hold first place into the playoffs, whereas everyone is just waiting for the Astros to fall apart. It’s probably unfair. If the Astros are last season’s Royals, they’ll make it to the series. They have the starting pitching to be interesting come playoff time either way. Or, y’know, maybe they’ll go 27-53 after the All-Star break and when you’re sitting down with a bowl of nachos to watch the Royals and the Angels play in the ALCS, someone will make an Astros joke and their first-half run won’t even be a footnote to the 2015 season.

A Sporting View A tradition unlike any other Fans of golf are familiar with CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz’s signature phrase used to describe The Masters: “A tradition unlike any other.” They may be less familiar with the catchphrase employed by members of the FOX broadcast team, whose coverage of the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay was universally panned. This is because they don’t really have one yet. This was, as most viewers were painfully aware, the network’s first stab at covering a golf major, and it was a very messy stab, the kind that didn’t kill but left the victim staggering in pain for hours … kind of like the way FOX made viewers wait around to watch a minute’s worth of a golfer waiting to strike an approach shot. Here are a few potential gems, however: “It is what it is.” – Tom Weiskopf “I never watch golf [on TV].” – Greg Norman “It’s actually a tragedy.” – Gary Player (from the Golf Channel) But don’t think that this wasn’t a perfect follow-up to The Masters. It was. The Masters is where Americans get it right and don’t complain. The U.S. Open was a reflection of the rest of our culture which, sorry to say, is steeped heavily in the tradition of complaining about things. We got our start complaining about taxes and the price of tea, and today we complain about taxes and the prices at Starbucks. The next tournament of note will be in Great Britain. They won’t complain about course conditions in Scotland. They won’t complain about the food, they won’t complain about anything – except the foreigners. But they’ll manage to carry on, just like they did during the war. When a Nazi bomb fell on the course of the Richmond Golf Club in Surrey, England, during the Battle of Britain, they didn’t complain about it – they penalized themselves one stroke if they had to play another ball due to exploding 4.

Players are asked to collect Bomb and Shrapnel splinters to save these causing damage to the mowing machines. 2. In competitions, during gunfire, or while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play. 3. The positions of known delayed-action bombs are marked by red flags placed at reasonably, but not guaranteed safe distance therefrom. 5. A ball moved by enemy action may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped not nearer the hole without penalty. 6. A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole without penalty. 7. A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. Penalty, one stroke. If the Brits can deal with bombs at home and carry on, we can deal with Joe Buck at a golf tournament … it’s not nearly as bad as dealing with our carry-on luggage. Now, that’s something to complain about. (Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.) Richmond Golf Club’s WWII special rules. The rules fall somewhere between serious and a joke borne of dry English wit. Albeit somewhat of a joke, it was an important one. The rules may have been a small form of British retaliation, declaring life as usual – even golf games – would continue in spite of the bombs; in a way, stealing away some of the terror of bombs by declaring the rules of traditional British sport more important than the tools of Nazi war.

Geek Girl Teenager to play teen in movie – no, seriously The sequel to “Guardians of the Galaxy” officially has a title. The movie, currently planned for a May 5, 2017 release, will be called “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” The title is obviously a play on Star-Lord’s mix tapes from the first movie, labeled “Awesome Mix Vol. 1” and “Awesome Mix Vol. 2” by his mother. While “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is a cute title, it isn’t very imaginative. People on the Internet have been guessing for months that this would be the title. I wish that Marvel Studios would have gone in a different direction, maybe something a little more original and outside the box. I’ve come up with four unique sequel titles (and it only took me three-and-ahalf minutes) that I think will also speak to the spirit of the Guardians’ franchise: 1) “Guardians of the Galaxy II: The Legend of Groot’s Gold”; 2) “Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Electric Boogaloo”; 3) “Guardians of the Galaxy Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back”; and 4) “Eddie and the Guardians of the Galaxy II: Eddie Lives!” Now these are movie titles! And completely original, too. Until Hollywood starts paying attention to me for its own good, it looks like we’re stuck with “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Sigh … Last week I informed y’all about how Marvel Studios/ Sony Pictures has cast Tom Holland as Peter Parker in their upcoming joint venture, “Spiderman.” Holland’s casting has now come under fire. Surprisingly it’s not because he is too white and Britishlooking, which was my complaint, but because the actor, at 19, is “too younglooking.” Apparently the world isn’t ready for an Jennifer ellis CoLUMnIST actual teenager to play a teenager in a movie. That’s a shame. And also stupid. Perhaps the Internet would be happier if Toby “Imminent Ensure Spokesman” Maguire took on the role again. We all knew that the new movie would put Peter back in high school because it was guaranteed to infuriate me. I’ve actually resigned myself to another reboot. Now the rest of the world has to get on board. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has gone on the record to defend Holland’s casting. He said it was a deliberate choice to go young and that the new movie will set itself apart from the previous Spiderman entries by focusing on the high school part of Peter Parker’s life. To do this they will take several pages out of John Hughes’ playbook. Feige spoke to the website “Birth.Movies.Death” and said of the mastermind of several ’80s teen classics, that “we’re inspired by him, and merging that with the superhero genre in a way we haven’t done before excites us (...) Particularly at that age, in high school, everything feels like life or death. The tests feel like life or death.

The stakes are high at that age.” When I first read that, I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had come into contact with in quite a while. Feige had even used the phrase “soap opera in high school.” I hate young people and I especially hate how they are too into their own drama to be worthwhile human beings. However, I sat down and thought it over. If the story of Spiderman is a John Hughes movie, then Harry Osbourne would be Duckie from “Pretty in Pink.” And that makes so much sense it’s almost scary. (Jennifer Ellis holds a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from U.C. Santa Cruz, but is most proud of her George R.R. Martin autographs.) The name Jack Hoxie probably means little to you other than he has some relatives living in Bishop today. Tom Mix or Hoot Gibson could sound more familiar to you than Hoxie. Yet, Jack Hoxie worked in our area in at least 14 pictures and possibly more. He was known by lots of people here and he left as a gift a set of spurs with Russ Spainhower’s family. They remain today cherished artifacts to the family that played such an ongoing part in our film industry. He also has pictures in the family album, and when I was speaking with Russ’ daughter Joy Anderson about her memories of Jack and his then-wife Marin Sais, her memories were vivid even though she had forgotten the title of the film. Because some of his story is lost in the shadows of the past, we can only speculate. At this time, we only know of two of the films Jack Hoxie made here as existing. One was only found in a copy made for home use a few years ago. It was on eBay of course. That being said, we do have lots of stills from his pictures. Just as few days ago I was able to purchase nearly 20 from eBay for “The Red Rider” (1925), which prove conclusively, they worked here. The Eastern California Museum has photos of some film shooting at Diaz Lake and these confirm was jack Hoxie and wife Marin Sais in this film. More about that in the next column. While the legend has Hoxie being born in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), slowly consensus is forming around a birth date of Jan. 11, 1888 in Kansas. True, where he was born is not far from Indian Territory. Jack’s father was killed by a bronc, decapitated actually the legend says. His mother Matilda was Nez Pierce and she took her family back to Idaho, where during a terrible winter they lost much of their stock. Matilda had married a stern and unbending German immigrant and had five children before she left him. Jack hated Scott Stone and went to town when his stepdad sold the ranch. Soon Jack was honing his cowboy skills and he signed on with the Dick Stanley Wild West Show. Jack had married a Silent film actor Jack Hoxie worked in Inyo County and the Eastern Sierra in at least 14 pictures and possibly more. Photo courtesy Chris Langley young girl previously and that had not worked out. While in the show he met and married Hazel Panky, one of the female trick riders. They had a daughter and the couple became stars of the show. As was not uncommon for other silent cowboy actors, Jack signed on with Pathe pictures and made several pictures but no record exists of which ones and how many. Eventually he signed on with Universal and it was in one that he met Marin Sais as his co-star. Jack was the marrying kind so he divorced Hazel Panky and married Sais. Buck Rainer in his encyclopedic book “The Strong Silent Type” wrote, “The marriage with Marin Sais was a good one in many respects and Marin gave Jack the polish he might have had, a thin veneer at best.” His career continued to progress and in 1922 he signed on with Ben Wilson/ Arrow and made “Cyclone Bliss” (1923), most likely in the Victorville area. The Lone Pine Museum of Western Film History has a three-sheet on display for this film at this time. It was in 1922 that Jack Hoxie signed with Universal. That led to a series of pictures, many of which used local locations including Death Valley and the Eastern Sierra as well as Lone Pine’s Alabama Hills. Rainey enthuses, “Tall, stalwart, handsome, a fearless rider and a matchless roper and rifleman, Jack Hoxie, as he thundered across the screen in the Universal Westerns of 1923-1927, might have ridden straight out of the past. In a thousand theatres in a thousand towns Jack Hoxie and his horse Scout and his dog Bunkie provided thrill after thrill for audiences throughout rural America, making the old West come alive again for the price of a dime or a quarter.” Evidence points to one of these films, “Riders of the Law,” perhaps being made locally, but we know that “Men in the Raw (1923), “The Back Trail” (1924), “Daring Chances” (1924), “The Red Warning” (1924),” Fighting Fury” (1924) and “Man From Wyoming” (1924) were. From a Universal newsletter we know that “The Red Warning” and “Man From Wyoming” were made together, a not uncommon economy, shot in Death Valley, Lone Pine and then farther north, perhaps in Wyoming. “Men/Raw” has teller of wild stories played by Jack Hoxie. His tales were usually about his personal exploits. These were told to other cowpokes as they sat around the campfire in the evening. Finally Windy is given the opportunity to prove himself when Bill Spray (Sid Jordan) and his gang decide they will steal a gold claim belonging to the father of Windy’s sweetheart, Eunice Hollis, played by Marguerite Clayton. “The Back Trail,” one of the two silent Hoxies that still known to survive, will be where we start next time. Sadly few of Jack Hoxie’s silent films are known to exist. First they were made on nitrate and when MCA took over Universal in the late 1940s, they were deteriorating quickly. Then some of the nitrate exploded and burned down a shed in which they were stored. It would have taken a lot of money to restore them and the executives saw little return in revenue once that had done it. The executives gave the order: either transfer it or destroy it. MCA had stretched itself financially so the order was given and all the film was destroyed. It constituted most of Hoxie’s lifetime of work, which by all accounts was of high quality by Western criteria. (Chris Langley is an independent writer and film historian living in Lone Pine.

Bob at the Movies Less teddy bear, more Henry winkler ‘Ted 2’ Seth MacFarlane is quickly losing his clout in the entertainment industry. “The Cleveland Show” has been cancelled, “American Dad” has been bumped from a major network to basic cable, he bombed as an Oscars host, and as for his last movie, “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” he was lucky there was a “Transformers” movie to soak up the title of Worst Movie of the Year. Now he’s returning to “Ted” as writer, director and star to see if there’s any life left in that franchise. I’d say there wasn’t much life in it in the first place. The film once again follows sentient teddy bear Ted (MacFarlane) as he gets married to his girlfriend TamiLynn (Jessica Barth), tries to adopt a child to clear up their relationship troubles, and is forced to fight a court battle to prove that he’s a person and not a thing. He’s aided by his human best friend John (Mark Wahlberg), who pursues a relationship with Ted’s lawyer (Amanda Seyfried). The movie completely negates John’s relationship with the Mila Kunis character from the first movie, which seems like a heartless move at first, but turns out to be an upgrade BoB Garver CoLUMnIST as the game Seyfried character is much more likeable. The biggest problem with the film, as with the first, is that it relies too much on the novelty of a swearing, smoking, bad-mannered teddy bear to carry it to a nearly two-hour running time. Ted jokes fall into two categories: vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity, and unfunny deliberate jokes that, coming from a teddy bear, are supposed to be automatically punched up. There isn’t enough funny Ted material to carry a half-hour TV show, let alone a movie, and definitely not two. I wouldn’t even say that Ted alone is funny enough to carry a second one of those red band trailers that I watched over and over again with the first movie. Something I’ve noticed with MacFarlane’s projects is that he’s really bad at ending scenes, which badly affects the story’s pacing, and it’s apparent here too. Most of the scenes in this movie either trail off or end with a cheap laugh. “Family Guy” has a notoriously painful running gag about lazily ending scenes by abruptly cutting to Conway Twitty performances. The equivalent in this movie has to do with Google searches gone wrong. It’s funny the first time, less funny the next few times, and then you actually look forward to it because at least it means the movie is finally about to move on. The movie does do some things right. I’ll bashfully admit that I laughed at a fight between Ted and TamiLynn and a detour involving Tom Brady. There are some left-field gags that work, like a surprise celebrity in a supermarket who wants to know how seriously Trix takes its “for kids” policy. What made me laugh the hardest was a climatic chase and fight sequence at a New York City venue where I once met Henry Winkler (he’s a great guy!). The only problem is that the sequence is over too quickly. All the scenes in this movie that drag on forever and the one I like feels rushed. It also left a bad taste in my mouth because it ends with a character making an important sacrifice, but it’s the wrong character. From what I’ve heard from other critics, “Ted 2” seems to have a spot already reserved in the Unfunny Comedy Sequel Hall of Fame. I actually think it’s funnier than the overrated original, but that’s in a strictly relative sense. If you only take two things away from this review, remember that I don’t think that the crude little teddy bear is funny for more than five minutes at a time and that Henry Winkler is awesome. He’s not in this movie, I’m just saying so on an unrelated note. Two Popcorn Boxes out of Five. “Ted 2” is rated R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, and some drug use. Its running time is 115 minutes. (Bob Garver is a graduate of the Cinema Studies program at New York University. He has been a published movie reviewer since 2006. Contact him at rrg251@nyu. edu.)
