REGPA
approved
Five-year process comes to close
with acreage limits established
By Mike Gervais
Associate Editor
Inyo County leaders approved on Tuesday a new Renewable
Energy General Plan amendment that will guide solar energy
development for the foreseeable future.
The REGPA outlaws wind energy development, and provides development caps for solar projects designed to ensure
that Inyo isn’t overrun by industrial-sized solar facilities.
Tuesday’s vote brings to a close nearly five years of work,
anticipation, anxiety and public involvement.
Senior Planner Cathreen Richards explained that the county’s REGPA is a response to growing interest in renewable
energy development. “Inyo has excellent solar development
potential” and the REGPA will help guide local land-use development.
When the county presented a draft of the REGPA to citizens
in the fall and winter of 2013, residents turned out en mass to
comment on the plan. Many expressed fear that wide-sweeping
Renewable Energy Development areas (portions of the county
the Planning Department deemed suitable for renewable energy development) could turn the county into a massive industrial solar field.

County supports
LADWP’s Bishop
Creek plan
City proposes
reducing
irrigation water
to prevent creek
from drying up
this summer
By Mike Gervais
Associate Editor
Inyo County has provided
its support for a plan to
reduce irrigation on Los
Angeles Department of Water
and Power lands this summer
to mitigate impacts of
California’s ongoing drought.
Last week, the Inyo County
Board of Supervisors
approved a letter to the
LADWP stating that it will not
protest a 23 percent reduction of irrigation water on
department-owned lands
north of Bishop Creek.
The Inyo County-Los
Angeles Long-Term Water
Agreement provides for continued irrigation on certain
land in the Owens Valley,
including the leases north of
the creek that are irrigated by
the Bishop Creek Canal.
The agreement also provides that irrigation may be
reduced during dry years, if
the Board of Supervisors and
LADWP Board, acting through
the Standing Committee (a
working group of Inyo
County and LADWP staff and
local organizations) agrees.
Dr. Bob Harrington,
Inyo County Water
Department
Director
With spring runoff from
the Sierra forecast to be 75
percent less than normal this
year, Inyo County Water
Director Bob Harrington said
that there will be a reduction
of irrigation water, regardless
of the county’s decision.
However, providing the letter of support that was
approved last week provides
the LADWP some assurances
that Inyo won’t contest the
reduction.
Ultimately, Harrington
explained, the county doesn’t
have jurisdiction over the
Bishop Creek flows, which are
managed under the Chandler

drought
Decree. That court order
requires
that
Southern
California Edison maintain
certain flows out of its reservoirs in the Bishop Creek
Canyon and into Bishop
Creek.
“The recommended reduction in irrigation is part of an
effort to better manage flows
in Bishop Creek during this
ongoing drought,” Harrington
said, explaining that during
the 2013-14 irrigation season,
low runoff, low storage in
South Lake and Lake Sabrina,
and the court-mandated flows,
“resulted in insufficient water
in Bishop Creek to maintain
flows in West Bishop Irrigation
ditches in the fall and winter,”
Harrington said.
The recommended reduction, which equates to about
2,520 acre-feet, should allow
Edison and the LADWP to continue putting water into the
canal year-round.
“It’s a better way to manage
the water release, to spread it
out, with more continuous
flows,” Harrington said. “We
have talked with some of the
lessees, and they don’t like an
irrigation reduction,” but there
is a consensus that the reduction is better than having the
creek dry up this summer.
“The LADWP appreciates
the Inyo County Board of
Supervisors’ response to
California’s current drought
conditions by implementing a
23 percent reduction in irrigation of Department-owned
lands along Bishop Creek,”
LADWP Public Relations
Representative
Amanda
Parsons said Wednesday.
“When LADWP conducted an
analysis of Bishop Creek flows
at the request of Inyo County
Water
Department
in
December 2014, the 23 percent reduction was evaluated
as an option which was possible only under certain water
flow conditions.
“Unfortunately,” Parsons
said, “since the original analysis was conducted, drought
conditions have become so
dire that there is not enough
water from Bishop Creek to
achieve this 23 percent reduction of irrigation. Extreme dry
conditions have existed
throughout the winter causing
a fourth consecutive year of
drought. LADWP asks all water
users to please be mindful of
the drought, use water responsibly, and conserve as much
as possible.”
answer questions about TAP,
and have the Draft TAR available for review at the public
meeting.
“TAP does not designate
the minimum road system,
but rather a set of recommendations,” Schweizer said. “It
will not close roads, add
roads to the system or otherwise change the current road
system. However, TAP will be
used to inform future planning regarding management
of the forest’s roads.” Schweizer also said that
TAP does not replace the
decision made during Travel
Management, Subpart B;
which designated routes for
the
National
Forest
Transportation System for
the Forest. “Rather, TAP will
help to identify possible
changes to the road system
that was identified in Travel
Management,”

decreasing budgets, the forest cannot maintain all roads
to standards for safety and
environmental protection,”
INF Public Affairs Officer Deb
Schweizer said in a statement. “TAP fulfills the requirement in Subpart A of Travel
Management that states each

roads analysis to help identify the minimum road system.”
Essentially, the INF is

The Inyo Register
“The REDAs were met
with general dislike” when
presented in early 2014,
Richards said, explaining
that “most concerns dealt
with ‘utility scale’ development.”
In response, the Planning
Department presented an
updated REGPA to the
Board of Supervisors this
week.
To alleviate fears that
the REGPA would essentially advertise Inyo as a
haven for large-scale renewable energy development,
the Planning Department
proposed a 20 megawatt
cap on all solar energy facility in the county.
In addition, the individual REDAs include a cap, to
ensure that 10, 20 megawatt facilities aren’t built in
the same general area, creating the industrial atmosphere citizens said they
want to keep out of Inyo.
However,
during
Tuesday’s public hearing,
residents echoed a fear that
Planning Director Josh Hart
voiced during the 2013-14
reviews of the project.
Essentially,
Hart
explained, because 98 percent of Inyo County is controlled by state, federal or
City of Los Angeles agencies, if the county’s renewable energy guidelines are
too strict or too limiting, an
energy developer could
simply look to build on
Inyo County land that is
not within the jurisdiction
of county officials.
If a developer were to
site a project on Bureau of
Land Management property, for example, it would be
exempt from county guidelines and restrictions.
That “unintended consequence” of attempting to
regulate development was
a constant topic of discussion during Tuesday’s
meeting.
Sally Miller, of the
Wilderness Society, said
Tuesday that the proposed
20 megawatt cap “is poor
planning and could have
unintended consequences.”
That comment was
echoed by Susan Sorrells,
Stephanie Dashiell of
Defenders of Wildlife, Chris
Ellis of Coso Geothermal
and several others.
Ultimately, the Board of
Supervisors opted to cap
new renewable energy
development by area, rather than megawatts. The
thinking is that developers
will be given a certain number of acres to work with,
Cathreen Richards,
Senior Planner,
Inyo County Planning
Department
Josh Hart,
Inyo County Planning
Director
and as the technology
improves, they will be able
to make better use of that
acreage.
The board also left the
overall cap on each development area.
In addition to those
changes,
the
county
approved an amendment
that does not allow wind
energy development, and
allows only photovoltaic
solar development.
Wording also stresses
the importance of water
resources, and requires
developers to conserve
water.
The Board of Supervisors
also removed solar energy
development areas (formerly REDAs) from Chicago
valley, and limited the
Charlston View SEDA to
only private property. Fifth
District Supervisor Matt
Kingsley, whose district
includes Charlston View,
said part of his duty as a
county leader is to protect
the rights of private property owners.

Intense, passionate dislike
By Gary Lake
Why do so many
Republicans feel such
intense, passionate dislike
(the dictionary definition of
hate) for President Obama? I
think, maybe, I have an
answer.
It’s because he has been
successful … successful in
spite of their best and persistent efforts to make him
a failure. Which means that
part of their “passionate
dislike” is because of their
failure to make him a failure
– and, of course, it’s his
fault.
Republicans, you cannot
escape your history. Your
stated goal from the beginning was to make Obama a
“one-term president.” Your
strategy was to denigrate
and obstruct whenever you
could, and you certainly did,
and still are. Yet, Obama’s
presidency was successful
enough in his first term that
he won a second. And then,
in your frustration, you doubled-down on your denigration and obstructionism.
But, after six years, it’s still
not working for you – further intensifying your passionate dislike and hate. It’s
no wonder conservatives are
such a bitter, grumpy lot.
In 2009, Obama inherited
the Bush legacy: wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq and an
ignored economy that in
2007 began collapsing into
what historians are calling
The Great Recession – “the
worst recession since The
Great Depression.” If you
consider where we were
then, and where we are now,
and the lack of cooperation
President Obama has
received from Republicans,
our only-half-white president deserves respect and
support, even from the
opposition party – not their
“intense, passionate dislike.”
I’m sure historians will give
Obama his due, and sooner
than we think. The contrast
between Obama’s administration and that of George
W. Bush – which
Republicans so badly want
us to forget – is remarkable
and will only serve to
enhance the Obama legacy.
Consider how much faster our recovery from the
blunder years of the Bush
Administrations might have
been if Republicans had
chosen to work with
President Obama by investing in America, rather than
against him with their propensity for austerity. It was
a choice they made in their
anger and frustration of two
lost elections. Much of the
problem has been the quality of Republicans in our
Congress, especially the
House of Representatives,
Top of the Morning
Guest Columnist
who dislike government as
much as they dislike our
president, and in the chaos
of the recession they saw an
opportunity to strangle
some of it. And they’ve
given it their best shot, but,
ask yourself – has that been
a good thing for either our
society or our economy?
So why do they continue
working against this president? … 2016. Beyond their
hate of Obama and his success is the possibility of
more successes in his
remaining two years. And if
more success is forthcoming
it bodes well for the
Democratic Party in the next
election, and the Republican
Party can’t want that. So
they’re looking to the future
… or screwing up his future,
which is our future as well.
Let me give you three examples of potential successes
that would be good for
Obama, his party and the
country:
Immigration reform:
There is a bill, passed by the
U.S. Senate, now in the
House of Representatives
and buried in committee,
that if brought to floor for a
vote would pass and be
signed by the president.
Speaker of the House John
Boehner would like a vote
on the bill, but is afraid of
the extremists in his party
who hate both Obama and
government (and they don’t
much like him either), so
the bill just sits and waits,
as it continues to damage
their party.
The Voting Rights
Amendment Act: In 2013
the Supreme Court voted
five to four, in a purely ideological vote, that Section 4
of the Voting Rights Act of
1965 was unconstitutional.
This allowed states dominated by Republican legislatures to immediately begin
passing laws discriminating
against citizens they judged
would more likely vote for
Democratic Party candidates. Even many
Republicans agree that a
replacement for the law
declared unconstitutional is
needed. Thus The Voting
Rights Amendment Act of
2014, a bipartisan bill,
which quickly died in the
113th Congress.
Reintroduced in the 114th
Congress, it is now buried in
the House Judiciary
Committee chaired by
Republican Rep. Bob
Goodlatte of Virginia. But
the Virginia Republican
won’t let it go to the floor
because he knows it would
easily pass in a bipartisan
vote.
And thirdly, let’s look at
what 47 Republican
Senators are up to in their
infamous one-page letter to
Iran warning them that any
deals made with the U.S. can
be undone by the next president. The letter is a condescending lecture that is
already becoming an embarrassment to the 47 Senators
that signed it, and also our
nation. Simply put, the
Obama Administration is
negotiating with Iran to
stop, or delay for 10 years,
their efforts at obtaining
“The Bomb.” Winston
Churchill said it well: “Jaw,
jaw, jaw is better than war,
war, war.” But those 47
Republican Senators, in
their hate of Obama, are
attempting to kill diplomacy
and reduce our options with
Iran, to either a complete
capitulation by them – or
war with them.
Wouldn’t a 10-year
respite, with strict inspections, be better than war,
war, war? Why can’t we wait
and see? President Obama
might succeed. Maybe not,
but what’s their hurry? And
why have so many
Republicans jumped in bed
with Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu, who thinks his
interests would be well
served if he could manipulate the U.S. into war with
Iran? Maybe Congress, if
they’re all that hawkish,
especially in the Middle
East, should consider reinstating the draft?
Intense passionate dislike, the definition of hate,
often clouds rational thinking. Success can be shared.
If Republicans had read the
writing on the wall after
Barack Obama won his first
presidential election, and
then his second, and worked
with him to solve America’s
problems, like immigration
and voting rights and let
him negotiate with Iran,
they could now be sharing
in his successes – take some
credit, even brag about it.
And aren’t the successes
of our president shared by
the nation, all of us? Isn’t
that what’s most important,
the success of America?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lies and betrayals
of the Obama
Administration
Regarding the Tuesday, March
10 Top of the Morning in The Inyo
Register titled “Playing with foreign
policy”:
The author needs to get more
than one news channel on his TV
besides MSNBC and try Fox for a
change. He states Boehner’s “inviting Netanhayu to speak before
Congress was a treasonous move
to embarrass Obama.”
The author needs to look at all
the outright lies and arrogant
betrayals Obama and his administration has done to the citizens of
the USA. Since he’s been in office
he’s done more to hurt this country
than any other president. Dick
Cheney is correct in saying he’s the
worst president this country has
ever had. He makes Jimmy Carter
look like Ronald Reagan. He says
he’s for helping the working class
people of this country; instead,
right away, he vetoes the Keystone
pipeline which would have provided hundreds if not thousands of
jobs. He’s put more restrictions on
coal-fired power plants and on the
coal-producing industry, which creates more expense for the middle
class.
And who can forget those
famous lies: “If you like your doctor, you can keep him, period” and
“If you like your insurance, you can
keep it, period.” He’s all about himself.
The latest is he’s blaming the
Bush Administration for the problems in the Middle East. The truth
is he screwed up by pulling all
those military personnel out of
that area. He’s so arrogant he won’t
listen to the people who told him
that would be a big mistake.
Don’t forget those famous comments: “The Taliban is on the run,”
“ISIS is a JV team” and he drew “a
line in the sand.” Obama cut military spending and God help us if
we ever get into a serious conflict.

Exchange student Barbara
Reichart, studying this year at
Bishop Union High School,
recently made her second visit
to the Bishop Lions Club.
Reichart was the program
presenter for the club’s meeting this week, speaking on her
experiences in Bishop this
year with three Bishop and Big
Pine host families. She added
a narrative of her hometown
of Linz, Austria and her family
back home. As it turns out her father
and grandfather are Lions in
Austria and they had sent a
local club banner which
Reichart presented to the
Bishop Lions during her first
visit.
This past week, Bishop
Lions Club President Paul
Bedell was ready and gave
Reichart a Bishop Lions banner to take back home when
she leaves in June.
This week’s meeting was
also the opportunity for a surprise since Reichart’s current
host family told the Lions that
she will turn 17 on March 25.
Much to her surprise, the Lions
presented Reichart with early
birthday gifts including a
Bishop Lions T-shirt and Pine
Creek Lions ballcap, an
American silver dollar, an
American Kennedy half-dollar
and American chocolate,
which they admitted is not as
excellent as Austrian or
German or Swiss chocolate.

Eastern Sierra Land Trust
is welcoming long-time
Mammoth Lakes resident and
Eastern Sierra advocate, Byng
Hunt, to its Board of
Directors.
Hunt recently retired from
his role as Mono County
District 5 Supervisor, a position he had held since 1999.
After supporting ESLT’s work
as a member of this nonprofit for many years, Hunt
said he is thankful for the
opportunity to now help
advance its land conservation
work in the Eastern Sierra.
“Throughout my years in
local public office, I have
always admired the work
being accomplished by ESLT,”
Hunt said. “The mission of
the organization rings true
with me in many ways. Land
resource conservation, restoration and stewardship are
key to preserving and sustaining our unique quality of
life here in this dramatically
beautiful Eastern Sierra.”
ESLT works with willing
landowners who wish to permanently conserve the scenic, agricultural, natural, recreational, historical and
watershed values of their
land – qualities of vital importance to the future of the
landscape and community.
ESLT offers its expertise
and conservation tools to

help families preserve their
working farms and ranches,
protect the region’s critical
wildlife habitats and offer the
entire Eastern Sierra commu-
nity the opportunity to connect with the region’s treasured lands.
From Hunt’s point of view,
the agency’s work is “all
about who we are, and how
we wish to remain: viable
communities integrated with
nature through a strong land
ethic.”
An avid outdoorsman,
Hunt has lived, worked and
played in Mammoth Lakes
for more than 40 years, and
has been a leader in the
Eastern Sierra community for
decades. He served as a planning
commissioner
for
Mammoth from 1989-1992,
and then as a Town councilman for the following six
years. He also served as
mayor of Mammoth Lakes
from 1995-1996, and during
a 16-year tenure on the Mono
County Board of Supervisors,
he served more than four
years as chairman of the
board.
Hunt is married to Joanne,
an ER nurse at Mammoth
Hospital, and has three
daughters and six grandchildren.
“Byng shares our deep love
of the special landscapes that
make the Eastern Sierra so
unique,” ELST Board President
Bob Gardner said. “He values
our agricultural heritage, rare
wildlife and unparalleled recreational opportunities alike.
We are delighted to welcome
his passion and expertise to
our organization.”
Hunt said he recognizes
that it will take work, but said
he looks forward to making
an impact as an ESLT board
member.
“It will take considerable
effort to assure the future of
our vistas, farms, ranches
and historic sites,” Hunt said.
“ESLT is an important means
to that end, and I personally
look forward to contributing
to these efforts where I am
able.”

(Letter #2 in a series.)
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I have heard some people in Bishop claim that the Founding Fathers
intended for the United States to be a Christian nation, and that – by
changing the motto of this country (in 1956) from “E Pluribus Unum”
to a religious motto and now by getting small towns across America
to adopt a religious motto and display it in their City Council Chambers – certain Christians are merely fulfilling the wishes of the Founding
Fathers. This begs the question, “If the Founding Fathers wanted this to
be a Christian nation, why didn’t they make it a Christian nation?” Did
they just forget? Did they get too busy with other things? Could they
not figure out a way to write it into the Constitution? Maybe this is what
happened:
– Did you remember to put in the part where we want this country to be
Christian?
– Me? I thought you were going to do that.
– How could I do it? I’ve been running around getting signatures.
– Well, I’ve been getting everybody’s okay on the Bill of Rights.
– Okay, go check with Ben and see if he did it, then get back to me.
A few hours later …
– What did Ben say?
– He said he didn’t do it, and I checked with John and he didn’t do it
either. It looks like no one put it in the Constitution.
– What? How can that be? We’re working on something really important here. We’re starting a new country and we should be able to
make it the way we want it. Well, at least we put it in the Bill of Rights
that we want this to be a Christian country.
– I have some more bad news. It looks like when Tom was writing
out the part where we say, “Congress shall enact laws making this a
Christian nation,” he accidentally wrote, “Congress shall make no law
regarding an establishment of religion.” He says it was late and he had
been writing all day. He’s sorry.
– Well, that’s just great. Okay, at least we had our motto carved in
wood so we can hang it in the Senate chambers: “In God We Trust.”
– More bad news. The wood carver got his orders mixed up and he
carved “E Pluribus Unum” instead.
– It looks like we completely messed up and accidentally didn’t make
this a Christian country. What we’re going to have to do is tell a select
group of Americans that we really wanted this to be a Christian country, and they can inform the American public for centuries to come
that the Founding Fathers REALLY wanted America to be a Christian
country. We just forgot.
Sincerely,
Jan Clover,
Bishop

Aunt worried about brother’s adult daughters
Dear Annie: I am very
concerned about my brother’s daughters, ages 18 and
20. My brother and his wife
divorced when the girls were
young. He and his ex do not
get along and communicate
poorly. She often berates him,
and he remains silent.
Their daughters were shuttled back and forth between
their parents’ homes, but
they lived mainly with their
mother. Last fall, she
announced that she had had
enough and the girls would
now live with their father
while they attend college
nearby.
The girls have been with
my brother and his wife for
several months, and they are
miserable. They have no
friends there. They communicate very little with their
father and stepmother and
remain in their bedrooms
most of the day. My brother’s
wife has reached out to them,
to no avail. The older girl is
doing well in school, but the
younger one dropped out.
She promised to get a job,
but hasn’t found one yet. I
don’t think she is very motivated.
My brother buys his daughters whatever they want, but
they have little respect for
him. He buries his head in the
sand when it comes to the
problems in his home. My
nieces have no direction and
little self-esteem. The atmosphere in their house is toxic,
and I can’t stand by and do
nothing. What do you suggest?
– Concerned Aunt
Dear Aunt: We can tell
that you care a great deal
about your nieces, but they
are both adults. They do not
need to live with their father

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Venus exploring the early part of
Taurus tunes us in to the many ways
we can fill our experience with beautiful sights, sounds, tastes, smells and
physical feelings. This sensual passage also has a way of making us
think that these pleasures are worth
whatever amount money is being
asked for them. True quality cannot be
bought.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Try
new things, even if you’re pretty sure
you won’t like them. A too-limiting
belief about what kind of person you
are will restrict the range of experiences you could be enjoying.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The rotten-apple theory suggests it
only takes one to spoil the bunch.
Someone who lacks integrity is a
danger to the group. Take courage
and stand up against those who are
on the wrong path.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If
your mood dips, your mind may
become occupied with concerns that
weren’t there when you were feeling
good. Keep worry at bay by continuing to do the things that contribute to
a high level of positive energy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The old rule won’t apply, and the new
rule hasn’t been made yet. While
things are in flux, take this opportunity
to shake things up. Bonus: You’ll
expand your network in the process.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just
because someone is not on your
wavelength doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t at least try to communicate.
Your efforts to connect will be meaningful and will lead to gains in the
distant future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If
you don’t act when you see the
opportunity, someone with less experience and wisdom will. Take initiative.
It won’t be as much work as you think,
and you’ll get help once you commit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While
your community service may be commendable, today your compassion
will not be measured by the degree to
which you knock yourself out to help
others. It is better assessed by the
kindness you afford yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To
Holiday Mathis
get to happiness, you do not always
have to go through the dark forest of
unhappiness. It helps that you’ve
been there before and already understand the contrast. Avoid the forest,
and try a new path.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Overnight success is a matter of
preparation, the likes of which takes
years, not hours, to cultivate. Continue
doing the work in good faith. Keep a
strong grip on your optimism, as it’s
one of your best qualities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’re an independent with your own
ideas about how things should unfold.
If you dare to stand alone, you won’t
be alone for long, mainly because
you’re right.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may not start out in an optimum
mood, but you can get there with a
little work. Remember how you overcame your last big challenge. Review
the steps you took. You will learn from
yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Someone should only be able to hurt
you once. If you get hurt by the same
person twice, it means that on some
level you’re agreeing to it. You can be
friendly and loving and still stay inside
your own emotional boundaries.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March
26). You’ll get what you need indirectly this year. Unexpected relationships will be emotionally fulfilling.
Next month, a personal risk will lead
to lifestyle upgrades. May shows you
clearing up misunderstandings to
move forward with an exciting venture.
You’ll become a leader at work in
August. Taurus and Cancer people
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47,
33, 50, 41 and 13.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
ARIES: Stop looking for the proof
that someone is into you, and just
relax in the knowledge that you are
lovable. TAURUS: Your taste is simple:
the best of everything. GEMINI: By
taking the time to find out who someone really is, you’ll also help that person gain self-knowledge. CANCER:
Too much agreement is bad for a
relationship, but so is too much tension. The right amount of tension is
wonderful. LEO: Your charm will keep
pulling someone back even if that
person is afraid of being hurt by the
attraction. VIRGO: You’ll love the power-rush that comes from making people laugh. LIBRA: Dating will be more
fun if you don’t call it a “date.”
SCORPIO: It’s OK to be the agitator.
After all, it’s the grain of sand that
makes the oyster form a pearl.
SAGITTARIUS: Loved ones may have
a short memory. What you did in the
past won’t matter as much as what
you’ve done lately. CAPRICORN:
Equal affection is rare. Usually, someone loves and does a little more than
the other. AQUARIUS: As you prove
to yourself that you don’t need someone, this person will feel drawn to you.
PISCES: Any story can be interesting
or boring – it’s the telling that matters.
You’ll find an enchanting spin.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND:
With the Aries sun reflecting off of the
Leo moon on Sunday, these two fire
signs kindle quite a blaze. The rest of
us are warmed by the glow – not that
Aries and Leo will notice. Mesmerized
by the heightened version of themselves they become when their energies combine, this couple will exist in a
world all their own. The spell will continue to hold well past next week’s full
moon.

unless they choose to. Dad
seems quite willing to support them financially, and
their stepmother has tried to
help. If the atmosphere is as
toxic as you say, both girls

We think a lot of this is the

Dear Annie: When my
husband and I married, his
family let me know they
didn’t like me. He already had
an ex-wife, and their two children were the only ones who

My husband and I adopted

husband seldom visited them

to any person who works on the job site. Any worker who refuses to

Frazier Mountain
Register Staff
A 7-run differential is odd
for an extra-inning game, but
9-2 was the final when the
Bishop Varsity Broncos beat
Frazier Mountain on Tuesday.
They tied the game in the
seventh, and then posted 7
runs in the (extra) eighth
frame.
Frazier Mountain scored a
single run in the second, and
then one more in the sixth.
Bishop scored one in the
third, and entered the seventh down 2-1.
“Jeremy Fie had a runner
on second, and he needed to
lay down a push bunt. I told
him he’s got to lay down the
best push bunt … he’s been
working on that for years,”
said Coach Chris Walston.
Fie’s bunt was perfect, moving the runner over, and the
needed to
“lay(H)e
down a push
bunt. I told him
he’s got to lay
down the best
push bunt … he’s
been working on

”
– Chris Walston,
Bishop Broncos Head Coach
took until the extra inning for
the bats to break out in this
game, but when they did, they
did in force, scoring 7 to
break it open in the extra
inning.
On the mound, Bishop got
an amazing performance
from Alex Chinzi to set up
the comeback. Chinzi pitched
all 8 innings, striking out 15,
and giving up not a single
walk.
Coach Walston was obviously pleased with the end
result. Still, he couldn’t help
but admit, “I wouldn’t mind
the bats getting started in the
first or second!”
Lorenzo Parra and Clyde
McCoy each had a hit, Jake
Traynor and Joe Mayhugh
each had a run, Patrick Mitton
had a hit and 2 runs, Jeremy

had an RBI as well as a hit and

Maloney had 2 hits, a run and
3 RBIs.
Next up, they head to Kern

Both Lone Pine baseball and
softball teams headed out on
the road to play Vasquez on
Tuesday and it was a tough
day for both.
Softball
The Lady Golden Eagles got
shut out in their match by a
final of 13-0.
The first two innings were
good; Lone Pine kept Vasquez
off the scoreboard. Catcher
Juliann Jones and shortstop
Jessianne Joiner teamed up
twice to get outs on runners
attempting to steal. Celia Ray
made a stellar catch in deep
left field.
Other stats don’t quite tell
the tale either, such as Lacie
Jones and Jessianne Joiner
batting .500 in the game. Jones
also pitching well, racking up 6
strikeouts and giving up only
5 hits.
“We fell short on batting.
Even though our timing was
good, we couldn’t seem to find
the holes,” said Coach Liz
Jones.
As for giving up 13? Simply
put, “errors got us this game.”
The Lady Golden Eagles
have a chance to right the ship
with a home game against
Desert Christian, today at
3:15.
Baseball
The Golden Eagle boys had
a similar looking game, losing
to Vasquez 11-1.
Despite good pitching,
errors were the trouble in this
game too.
“We were tied 1-1 in the
third before we got knocked
around. The pitching was
good, we’ll be alright,” said
Coach Mike Button.
Lone Pine’s run was scored
by Doug Moore who took
home on a passed ball.
The Golden Eagles will also
be looking to rebound today.
They play Desert Christian too

On the Owens
Caddisflies
It is officially spring and
caddis have begun hatching
on both the Upper and Lower
Owens and trout have taken
notice. Caddis are small
mothlike insects from the
order Trichoptera meaning
“Hairy Wing” closely related
to butterflies and moths. They
are easy to identify by the
way they fold their wings in
against their abdomen while
at rest looking like little tents.
Caddisflies go through a complete metamorphosis, egg,
larva, pupa, adult and have
about a one year life cycle.
Caddis are separated into
five groups based on the larva’s behavior: free-living caddis do not make cases to live
in, they roam free preying on
smaller aquatic insects for
food. Saddle case caddis build
their cases out of small pebbles and sand and carry their
cases on their backs sort of
the way a turtle carries its
shell. Tube case caddis make
portable cases out of plant
and wood material. These
caddis larva travel around eating decaying plant matter and
can retreat into their case if
disturbed. Net spinning caddis build shelters out of silk
and spin a web near the
entrance to catch their food,
usually small bits of detritus
and organic matter which
they pick out of their web and
eat. Purse case caddis construct their cases out of silk
and fine sand when they are
ready to pupate. These caddis
are very small, often called
microcaddis. The larva stage
makes up the majority of a
caddis’ one year life, pupation
takes about one month and
they live for a few days to a
week as adults.
Fishing a caddis hatch can
be tricky. Trout will usually

hatch and you will have to
determine if they are taking
pupa, emergers, adults, egg
layers or spent caddis before
you can be successful.
Catching a few adults and
taking a stream sample and
matching the adults to the
larva you find can take the
guesswork out of your equation, then just match size and
color with your fly!

Expect to take a walk and

straight innings after the first.
Which set the stage for the

Djokovic beats Federer, Serena
withdraws at Indian Wells
World No. 1 men’s tennis player Novak Djokovic
won his fourth Indian Wells
title after beating Roger
Federer in three sets last
Sunday. This was a successful defense of the title he
earned last year and puts
the two men level at four
Indian Wells crowns each.
Djokovic dropped just
five games in beating Andy
Murray in the semifinals on
Saturday, although Federer
fared better in a 6-3, 6-7,
6-2 loss at the PNB Paribas
title in Indian Wells, Calif.
Djokovic is in such
frightening good form that
it is hard to see if there’s
anyone that can stop him
in 2015, although that may
change with the clay-court
season and the French
Open just around the corner.
The world’s top two
men’s players met for the
38th time, second-most
among rivals in the Open
era (second only to Djokivic
vs. Rafael Nadal at 42
times). Federer leads the
series 20-18 and had won
three of their last four
meetings going into the
final.
Federer just made too
many mistakes at crucial
times, piling up 43
unforced errors to 35 for
Djokovic. The Serbian-born
No. 1 player connected on
63 percent of his first
serves, while Federer’s
serve let him down. He
double-faulted to trail 4-2
in the third set as Djokovic
won the last four games of
the match.
Federer insisted people
shouldn’t read too much
into this loss. “I have beat
him the last couple
times. It is not like I lost 10
in a row,” said Federer. “A
lot depends on how well he
Craig Jackson
sports Columnist
serves and returns. We usually play in finals so we are
both peaking at the same
time.”
Federer and Djokovic
have combined to win eight
of the past 12 Indian Wells
titles but this is the first
time they have met in backto-back finals. Even though
he had the crown on his
side, Federer, from
Switzerland, couldn’t overcome his poor serving and
43 unforced errors.
Djokovic surpassed his
coach Boris Becker’s 49 singles titles to become the
12th player in Open era
history with 50 ATP Tour
crowns.
In the women’s final on
Saturday, Simona Halep
beat Jalena Jankovic 2-6,
7-5, 6-4 in an exciting final.
Jankovic looked in control
after winning the first set
with three breaks of serve
and breaking early in set
two. But world No. 3 Halep
broke the Serbian four
times in a second set that
saw six successive breaks.
The Romanian looked
down and out on more
than one occasion as she
struggled with a foot problem and Jankovic gave her
an almighty let-off when
she passed up the chance
to serve for a second
Indian Wells title. But in the
end, the battling qualities
of Halep got the third-seed
over the line and the title.
World No. 1 women’s
player Serena Williams
withdrew before her semifinal at the BNP Paribas
Open last Friday night with
a right knee injury, 14
years after her sister Venus
did the same thing and
triggered an angry reaction
from the fans that drove
Serena to boycott the tournament since that incident. Venus withdrew in
2001, propelling Serena
into the final, which she
eventually won. The crowd
booed her then which started her boycott.
The world’s top-ranked
player was to play thirdseeded Simona Halep in the
second semifinal. “A couple
of days ago at practice I
really injured my
knee,” Williams said.
“Today I was struggling to
even walk.”
After Williams’ brief
comments to the crowd
last Friday before her
scheduled match, in which
she didn’t clarify she had
withdrawn, fans applauded
with only a few boos. As
she walked off, the
announcer told the fans
that she wouldn’t be playing and he apologized.

Baseball indulgence
’Tis the season for sports
media to indulge. Look for
increased talk from your favorite writers and commentators
about apple pie, a certain Kevin
Costner movie, and maybe
even a “Homer at the Bat” reference.
Yes, it’s baseball season, so
never you mind. My turn.
•••
I particularly enjoyed my
colleague’s
(Around
the
Leagues) column last month
on the pros and cons of rules
to speed up baseball. Here’s
why. When it comes to sports
I’m somewhere between hardline cynical and full blown
communist. I love baseball and
I despise the endless showboating, music being played
for every single batter no matter what the situation, and
replay rules that add more
minutes to the game and often
make no sense.
So obviously I am in full
support of adding rules which
reign in the dog and pony acts
and shorten the game.
But in all my cynicism I forgot something. My father’s
favorite play in baseball. Yes,
I’m talking about my dad in a
baseball column. I told you,
this is the time for that.
My father used to tell me
his favorite moment in a baseball game was just after a batter hits a double. Not the hit
itself, but the very moment
after the slide into second
base. The batter pops up, looks
around, and can ask for time
to compose himself. But a tiny
little game plays out in that
moment. Why ask for time-out
if the moment is advantageous
to you?
So sometimes the runner
gets up and looks around
before asking, staying on the
Louis Israel
sports Columnist
bag or close to it quickly
assessing: where’s the ball?
Did it roll away? Can I take
third, or try to force a bad
throw with an aggressive step
that way? Or am I in danger of
getting tagged out from
behind? Just dive back to the
bag and ask for time?
And depending on the runner’s decision, the defenders
have an opportunity for gamesmanship too. Throw to third
immediately and end any
threat? Throw in behind and
maybe catch the runner leaning? Or, best of all, fake the
toss and try the ol’ hidden ball
trick?
That great moment can happen for one reason. Baseball is
untimed. Unless there’s specifically a time-out, the ball is live.
When the pitcher is holding
the ball too long and the crowd
starts to boo – that’s not a
pause in the game, that is the
game.
When Chuck Knoblauch
stopped to argue with the ump
while holding the ball – that’s
not a pause in the game, that is
the game. (He forgot. The runners didn’t – they all kept running and scored behind him.)
When the second baseman
fakes the toss back to the
pitcher after a double and then
tags the runner on the butt as
he comes off the bag – that’s
not a pause in the game, that is
the game.
Egos and commercial greed
have necessitated adding rules
to keep the game length reasonable. But it’s a shame that
the game that governed itself
with the beauty of its own
design for 100 years is now
bloated and must be governed
by stick-on rules. As much as I
know we need rules to get the
pace up, we need to avoid anything that would constrict the
great “pause” moments that
are the game.
•••
If anyone followed the firstround March Madness tout
bets I described in last week’s
column, you already know. All
four 12 seeds lost. Myself, I
didn’t touch it. I’m not taking
the hit on this one, people. I
told you guys this tout is a
disaster. And for all that, the
payoffs on Buffalo and Wofford
wouldn’t have been that great
had they won anyway. A bettor
would have needed to go two
for four or bettor to profit.
The bet-all-four of a particular seed underdog strategy
would have worked this year
betting all four 14 seeds. But
I’ve never heard of anyone
doing that.
Ah, March Madness. What a
tease.

A Sporting View
The Philadelphia Story
“Chip” is a nickname for
Charles, or anyone who has
been deemed to be carved
off of an old block, and while
that is a bit silly, it’s not necessarily a bad nickname. And
when you consider that Chip
Kelly (real name: Charles) is
from New Hampshire and
rose to fame by guiding
Oregon to, well … fame,
what he is putting together
in Philadelphia oddly seems
to make sense.
And that’s really Chip
Kelly’s Philadelphia story. He
comes from a weird place
and he does weird stuff, but
it all seems to fall into place.
New Hampshire and Oregon
are beautiful places. New
Hampshire is known for
dairy products and primaries, and Oregon is known
for having wide-open spaces.
Philadelphia is famous for
things primarily covered in
cheese, and now, thanks to
Chip, the spread offense.
What is the spread
offense? Apparently, it was
championed at SMU by a
gentleman named Rusty
Russell, or at least that’s
what everyone who loves
football at a particular Texas
steakhouse I visited one
night insisted. I’ll take their
Mark Vasto
sports columnist
word for it because he
sounds like a great guy. I’m
not sure though if he
“invented” an offense that is
basically what you think it is:
the offense you ran in your
backyard as a kid. You know
… the one where everyone
spreads out and goes down
field, and the quarterback
starts each play with hands
somewhere they’d rather be.
On the whole, and thanks
to Chip, most NFL players
these days would rather be
in Philadelphia. And that’s
saying a lot, since this has
got to be one of the weirdest
off-seasons in NFL history.
Rex Ryan is building a
“bully” in Buffalo, the Jets
signed Darrelle Revis, the
49ers are imploding before
our very eyes … I mean, why
even wait to start the season? Let’s just go now. Let’s
set another kickoff after the
Mayweather fight. It’s all anyone talks about. The NFL has
completely blown every
other sport off the back
pages. What are we going to
talk about? The Los Angeles
Clippers? Please. People are
talking about Philadelphia in
places other than
Philadelphia! This is amazing.
I kid Philadelphia, but I
am not kidding when I say
that Chip is really up to
something good over there.
Trading for a mishandled
Sam Bradford, signing the
disrespected Demarco
Murray, meeting with the
revered Tim Tebow … it
makes for great theater.
Truly, he’s putting a team
together that has – pardon
the pun – a huge chip on its
shoulder. Let’s see if it flies
now.

How’s Obama’s bracket?
In March, President Obama’s bracket draws more scrutiny than his domestic policy. So how’s he
doing? Like a lot of people, the President fell for Buffalo, and after some indecision, he fell for
Wyoming too. But as of press time he’s alive with Notre Dame, Duke and Arizona. And of course
he’s got Kentucky to win it all. But who doesn’t?

Geek Girl

Charlton Heston playing aging cowboy Will Penny on the Bishop set of the film “Will Penny,” shot back
when the Eastern Sierra could count on cold winters and plenty of snow.

Winter locations around Bishop
provide backdrop for ‘Will Penny’
The desolate, harsh winter locations of the Eastern
Sierra around Bishop are the
perfect setting for the story
of “Will Penny,” as Charlton
Heston does some of the
best work of his long acting
career portraying an aging
cowboy.
The film came out of episodic television from a
script developed for Sam
Peckinpah’s series “The
Westerner” in 1960. Heston
tells he was handed an
incomplete script for the
film, which normally
wouldn’t have even landed
nearby. Alfred Eaker
explains that the actor
“immediately expressed
interest in taking on the role
of the aging, illiterate cowboy Will Penny.” Eaker continues, “Heston was
informed that the writer,
Tom Gries, was insistent on
directing. When Heston
inquired on Gries’ directing
experience, he found it consisted of ‘a couple of television programs.’” Heston put
up a mild protest until he
learned that Gries would not
sell the movie script without
the writer also directing. He
decided to do the picture
with Gries directing.
Later, Heston would write
of Gries that he was “a gifted, mercurial, oddly unpredictable and somewhat
childlike man” who was not
“a good captain, which a
great director must be but
rose to the occasion when
he had ‘the right material.’”
The direction of some of the
actors is definitely uneven,
but the great strength for
the film lies in Heston and
Joan Hackett’s understated
performances. In the end it
is a character portrait and
the story of a May/
September love affair, shy
and unconsummated as was
the style of courting in
those long ago days.
Where the direction fails
is with the villains. Donald
Pleasance as the Preacher
Quint and his boys Rafe
(Bruce Dern) and Romulus
(Matt Clark) are either off
the mark or over-the-top.
Pleasance chews the scenery
as only a great actor can do
when let off the leash by the
director. On the other hand,
Hackett as the young mother Catherine Allen delivers a
poised and modulated per-
Chris lanGley
CoLUmnIST
formance and her son
Horace played by the director’s son, Jon Gries, contributes an emotional and
affecting portrayal.
The film attempts to be
as realistic about the life of
the cowboy at the end of a
cattle drive as can be imagined. However, parts of the
film are also filled with clichés about what the work
on the trail was like: harsh,
demanding and back-breaking toil day after day. The
movie begins at the end of
one of those drives, and it is
clear from the get-go that at
nearly 50, Penny is feeling
his age. Today nearing 50 is
more like being in the prime
of life but back during those
20 or so years when the
West was actually happening, Penny is well on his way
to becoming an old man.
Heston looks and acts
perfectly in the beginning of
the film as an aged cowpoke
but as the movie progresses
and he gets a bath and
meets Allen, he seems to get
younger and younger and
look more and more like a
handsome matinee idol. All
the actors, a collection of
very fine character actors,
look so dirty and disheveled
you can almost smell them.
While the art director and
costume designer used
bleach and good old dirt to
age the clothing, all the
actors’ perfect pearly white
teeth glisten out from the
darkened, unshaven and
smeared faces revealing
their real true occupation.
This is one of those local
movies where the setting
assumes a role of its own. It
looks cold, harsh with snow
clouds hovering over the
mountain ridges to the west
much of the time. It is a
Sierra winter; remember
when it used to snow a lot?
All the cast and crew had to
get up from the warm motel
beds, go out and face the
cold, the wind and the
storm clouds everyday. The
snowy weather is a perfect
metaphor for the harshness
of the life of the people in
the 1880s. It reminded me
of the spaghetti Western
“The Great Silence,” which
Quentin Tarantino showed
his people in the Lone Pine
Museum when working on
“Django Unchained.”
(Rumor has it that his present project, “The Hateful
Eight,” is being filmed in a
location known for its
snowy winters even now.)
Heston gets the job of
line-runner for the Flatiron
Ranch and that is when he
encounters Allen again with
Horace, in the real fix of
having been abandoned by
their guide. They are setting
up to weather the winter
squatting in the line-rider’s
cabin.
The effort to have the
movies tell the story as realistically as possible is mostly successful. I did keep
thinking how difficult it is
to get into the mind of a
historical character that
lived in a world so very different from ours. For me the
first scenes of the cowboys
at the end of a long drive
are the most effective and
as the film continues it
becomes more and more a
Hollywood love story, somewhat more romantic than
gritty. That really doesn’t
take away from the intentions of the filmmakers in
the end. Lucien Ballard’s cinematography is excellent
and the ambiance if not the
detail of the Old West is still
delivered in the film.
Anyone who loves our
landscape, yet hasn’t seen
the film, should find a copy.
At this point, if nothing
else, it will remind you of
when we used to have real
winters, being viewed in the
livingroom without any of
the accompanying discomfort.

Artists’ workshop at The Lab
Fiddlin’ Pete at the plaza
Family, friends and community members
are invited to the first-ever Artist’s Way
Workshop Open House scheduled for 3 p.m.
this Saturday at The Imagination Lab, 621 W.
Line St. in Bishop.
Workshop participants and facilitator
Marilyn Blake Philip will present original creative works – photos, poems, quilting, photo
frames and matting, stain glass, sketches,
watercolors, collages, journals and more –
which were created during the recent 12-week
workshop.
For more information, call Blake Philip at
(760) 920-8013.
Because of staffing issues, Fiddlin’ Pete has
not been able to perform at the Borax Museum
barbecues as previously advertised, and the
barbecues will not take place again this week.
However, he has been playing outside on the
plaza at Furnace Creek in front of the General
Store where visitors can simply walk up and
enjoy the show. The large area is shaded and
comfortable in the afternoon, and dinner and
pizza are available in the plaza restaurants.
Fiddlin’ Pete performs from 5-9 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday, through April 25.
If the barbecues don’t pan out, he’ll be at the
plaza across the street.
Fox has announced that
it will resurrect “The
X-Files” for a six-episode
run. Production will start
this summer, but no air
date has been announced.
Original creator/writer
Chris Carter is on board
along with original stars
Gillian Anderson and
David Duchovny (that’s
right – I gave Gillian
Anderson top billing. Try
and stop me.). I’m not too
excited to hear this news.
After a lackluster last couple of years not to mention that terrible “I Want
to Believe” movie, has anyone been clamoring for
more “X-Files”? Other than
those involved in the show
who have mortgages to
pay, that is.
Carter, in a statement,
mentioned that now is the
“perfect time to tell these
six stories.” He’s kind of
right, now that the entertainment industry is crazy
for both reunion shows
and limited series. More
intriguing is his use of the
phrase “six stories.” Could
we be in for six standalone episodes? The monster-of-the-week episodes
during “The X-Files” heyday produced some of the
series’ best episodes (not
to mention some of the
worst). It’s kind of surprising if the show doesn’t go
the alien conspiracy route
(which has also had mixed
results) since the stakes
and endgame would be
much higher for the limited series rather than a
bunch of random weirdos
and creatures. I’d much
rather invest my time in
something that has a
point. What about you?
Would you rather see classic “X” or conspiracy “X”?
Or do you just not care
either way? …
Word on the street is
Jennifer ellis
CoLUmnIST
that Carol “Captain
Marvel” Danvers will have
a cameo in “Avengers: Age
of Ultron.” As you might
have heard (or read in this
very column), Captain
Marvel will be getting her
own movie, and exposing
her to the moviegoing public in what is certain to be
a blockbuster is a smart
move. I’m even more excited to see “Ultron” now.
Another unconfirmed
rumor is that Danvers will
be played a famous
actress. For months there
has been talk that Oscar
nominees Jessica Chastain
and Emily Blunt, among
others, have been in contention for the role. If I get
a vote (and, in the world’s
greatest tragedy, I don’t),
my vote would go to Blunt.
I really hope the role goes
to Emily Blunt and not just
because Jessica Chastain
bothers me on a personal
level. EB is likeable, funny
and kicks major butt. Did
anyone see her in “Edge of
Tomorrow”? She was such
a bada$$ …
Speaking of women and
Marvel, the comics giant
has been making a concerted effort at diversity
including bringing female
superheroes to the forefront. This move includes
introducing more titles
starring female characters
including the brand-new
Thor, who happens to be a
woman. Later in the year,
the company will release a
bi-monthly trade paperback called “A Force
Presents” that will include
previously published
issues of female-led titles.
The first volume will feature the first issues of Ms.
Marvel, She-Hulk, Thor,
Captain Marvel, Black
Widow and Unbeatable
Squirrel Girl. The paperbacks are geared toward
female and younger readers who don’t necessarily
read comics. The hope is
to place the collection in
the Young Adult section of
book stores rather than in
the comics section. “A
Force Presents” would then
act as a gateway to
Marvel’s other titles. This
new initiative on Marvel’s
behalf is more mercenary
than benevolent now that
companies are realizing
that people other than
white guys buy things. And
it’s working since the new
Thor comic is selling more
than the previous launch
for the male Thor. But cynicism aside, I’m excited for
this.
I think it’s great to give
younger people the option
to read about smart, capable women rather than
whatever degrading
Twilight knockoff that is
popular at the moment. I
love comics and think that
if the story is good, then
everyone and not just girls
or geeks or geek girls
should read them.

A moderately tolerable
knockoff
‘Insurgent’
About a year ago, I wrote
in my review of “Divergent”
that I didn’t consider it a
knockoff of “The Hunger
Games.” I now feel the
need to tweak that stance.
Calling the series a fullblown knockoff might be a
bit harsh, but the similarities are too numerous to
ignore. Both franchises are
based on a book series
aimed at teenagers about a
strong female protagonist
who finds herself compelled to lead a violent revolution against a heartless,
oppressive government in a
dystopian future. There are
differences of course, but
they’re both trying to play
to that inexplicably lucrative teenagers-in-bleakfutures crowd. To put it
another way: I doubt that
there are many people lining up to see “Insurgent”
who weren’t at the theater
for “Mockingjay Part 1” last
fall.
As the movie opens, our
hero Tris (Shailene
Woodley), officially of the
combative Dauntless faction, is hiding from the
smart and evil Erudite faction led by Jeanine (Kate
Winslet). She’s wanted for
interfering with Erudite’s
eradication of the kindly
Abnegation faction, an
attack that claimed both
her parents; and for being
a Divergent, meaning that
she doesn’t really belong to
any faction. She’s with her
boyfriend Four (Theo
James), brother Caleb
(Ansel Elgort) and rival
Peter (Miles Teller). They
have to flee from their
peaceful Amity sanctuary
when Peter turns on them,
as Peter tends to do.
The team splits up and
Tris and Four next try to
hide out with Four’s moth-
BoB Garver
CoLUmnIST
er (Naomi Watts) who is the
leader of an army of
Factionless, people who
definitely belong to a faction, but got kicked out.
She tries to recruit them
for a revolution, but there’s
some bad blood between
her and Four and soon our
heroes are reaching out yet
again, this time to the just
Candor faction, for protection. Tris wants to leave to
go after Jeanine and
Erudite as revenge for the
attack on Abnegation, and
Jeanine needs a Divergent
as strong as Tris to open a
mystical box that she
thinks will grant her some
sort of ultimate power. The
meetup is inevitable, it’s
just a matter of who has
leverage.
Needless to say, the plot
is complicated. It’s not that
the world of the
“Divergent” series is rich in
detail and you’ll grow to
love it. It’s more like if you
can make a connection
between any two scenes in
this movie that aren’t right
next to each other, than
you’ll feel rewarded for
solving such a complex
puzzle. Maybe this worked
in the books where readers
could go back and clarify
certain details when the
movie is going to keep
chugging along with or
without your understanding.
But it’s not all bad. If
nothing else, this franchise
has a really compelling lead
actress with Shailene
Woodley. Tris is pretty typical of characters in this
genre. She’s haunted by a
guilty conscience because
she’s gotten people killed,
yet always manages to be
strong when she needs to
be. With Shailene Woodley
playing her, it’s like you’re
seeing a character like this
find strength within herself
for the first time. This is
especially true of scenes
late in the movie where
Tris has to pass a series of
simulated tests to open
that stupid box.
You know how I know
that the “Divergent” series
doesn’t want to distance
itself from other Young
Adult franchises like “The
Hunger Games”? The last
book, “Allegiant,” is being
split into two movies.
That’s a dirty trick it has
picked up from its contemporaries. So now I have to
see not one, but two more
of these moderately tolerable knockoffs.
One and a half popcorn
boxes out of five
The film is rated PG-13
for intense violence and
action throughout, some
sensuality, thematic elements and brief language.
Its running time is 119
minutes.
