Weekend weather, traffic could make travel hazardous over New Year’sBy Kristina BlümRegister Staff

Have a fun New Year, don’t drink and drive, and watch out for drunk pedes-

trians. For Inyo County Sheriff

Bill Lutze, these are just a few safety concerns as 2016 comes to an end.

“The traffic is going to be especially bad this weekend,” Lutze said. “If you’re driving, people might be out so be very aware of your surround-ings.”

With the National Weather Service predicting storms over New Year’s Eve

and early next week, the roads could be dangerous for reasons other than just drunk drivers, Lutze said.

With the snow comes the slope-lovers headed to Mammoth, which means heavy traffic on Highway 395. Traffic, partnered with potentially icy, snowy or wet conditions could make weekend travel extra haz-ardous, and Lutze urges travelers to be careful while driving.

Drivers should be vigi-lant and drive defensively because “you never know who’s on the road with you,” Lutze said.

If something is amiss or seems wrong, call law enforcement immediately.

“We’d rather check and have it be nothing than have nobody call and a big disaster happen,” he said.

Sheriff warns about holiday drinking and driving

Local stories show a year of ups and downsRegister Staff

(Editor’s note: This is the first part of a two-part compi-lation of some of the area’s top stories in 2016. The sec-ond part will be in the Tuesday, Jan. 3, edition.)

SIH license suspendedThe California Department

of Public Health has tempo-rarily suspended the license of Southern Inyo Hospital (SIH) following a site survey on Jan. 13, according to Alan Germany, chief restructuring officer at SIH.

According to a telephone conversation on Jan. 14 between Dr. Karen Smith, director of CDPH, and Richard Fedchenko, SIHD board president, the survey failed for two deficiencies.

The first was regarding physicians. At an earlier meeting of the Southern Inyo Healthcare District held on Tuesday, Dr. Parmod Kumar was given hospital privileges and appointed as medical director of SIH. He will serve as the hospital physician on call 24/7 for several days or even a week at a time. What was missing in the survey was a second physician to whom Kumar would pass rel-evant files and care informa-tion on the patients as he turned those responsibilities over at the end of his duty cycle.

The second deficiency was the absence of the nursing and support staff for the Skilled Nursing Facility. HCCA had not been notified by the CDPH survey team in advance that they expected to see this team in place. That will be “easily” rectified for the next survey, according to the health care district.

Guns at schoolWhether or not those who

have concealed carry permits would be allowed to take their weapons on school grounds will be discussed at the Bishop Unified School Board today.

State legislation to ban the concealed carry of handguns at colleges and schools went into effect in October. However, the Gun-Free School Zone Act allows a waver to the ban “with the written permission of the school district superinten-dent, his or her designee, or equivalent school authority.”

At its last meeting on Jan. 22 the board heard from Inyo County District Attorney Thomas Hardy and Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze, who gave an overview of the law.

The discussion at the meeting was varied with some school staff members who wanted to see a com-plete ban on waivers while others wanting to allow the, Bishop School District Superintendent Barry Simpson said.

Report clears Pecsi, TatumA final report regarding an

investigation into allegations of misconduct and misman-agement determined that nearly all 30 charges were unfounded.

The investigation stemmed from a Letter of No Confidence against now retired Bishop Police Chief Chris Carter that included allegations against Carter, City Councilman Joe Pecsi

The annual Inyo Associates weekend in Death Valley is set for Jan. 21, in keeping with a long history.

“Inyo Associates has been doing the Death Valley week-end since the 1940s because the road between Death Valley and the Owens Valley was a toll road until 1939,” Rick White, self-proclaimed longest attending Inyo Associates member, said. “Death Valley is a big part of our county and this gets our Owens Valley people out of the Owens Valley to see another part of the county and it’s always gorgeous.”

A reception will be held at the Furnace Creek Inn on Friday, Jan. 20. On Saturday, Jan 21, there will be three dif-ferent tours offered by reser-vation, including a paleontol-

Inyo Associates heads to Death Valley

Fedchenko: Hospital has stabilized on multiple levels since a year ago

By Terrance Vestal Managing Editor

The board president of Southern Inyo Hospital said Thursday a year made a vari-ety of differences for the once ailing facility.

“In a global sense we went from being closed to open,” Richard Fedchenko said. “As far I know we are the only hospital in the state – maybe even the country – to close its doors and be able to reopen again.”

At this time last year, SIH already had seen the resigna-tion of the administrator, who also was filling other management roles as well, along the entire hospital board. Hospital staff were seeking employment else-where because the hospital couldn’t meet payroll on mul-tiple occasions.

“There was no manage-ment and there was no gover-nance,” Fedchenko said Thursday as to the lack of administrator and board.

The Inyo County Board of Supervisors moved to appoint a quorum of the hospital board to salvage the hospital.

The board unanimously appointed Richard P. Fedchenko, Jaque Hickman and Mark Lacey as the new administrative body for the Lone Pine hospital.

Shortly after those appointments, the board dur-ing a seven-hour emergency meeting, approved a contract with HealthCare Conglomerates Associates out of Tulare, Calif.

The contract makes HCCA responsible for all operations of the hospital district, including running Southern Inyo Hospital, including the emergency room, the four-bed hospital unit, lab, X-ray, physical therapy and other patient-related services. The company would install a chief restructuring officer to run the operation and bring in other administrative staff.

“And we have gotten a tre-mendous amount of manage-ment support,” Fedchenko said of having HCCA in place for a year.

He said “almost every Wednesday an airplane flies to the Lone Pine airport with three to four or sometimes nine or 10 HCCA senior man-agement or key operation staff.”

2016Continued from front page and City Administrator Jim Tatum.

The city then hired the firm Norman A. Traub Associates to conduct a personnel investi-gation to determine the facts and circumstances alleged in and surrounding the letter.

The final report determined that all of the allegations against Pecsi, and Tatum were unfounded.

The final report also deter-mined that with two excep-tions all allegations against Carter were either unfounded or exonerated. The report defines “exonerated” as “the act or acts, which provided the basis for the allegations occurred, however, the investi-gation revealed they were jus-tified, lawful, and proper.”

The allegation that Carter had on two occasions used inappropriate language in dealing with police officers was sustained, meaning the investigation disclosed suffi-cient evidence to prove the allegation.

The additional allegation that Carter failed to facilitate firearms qualifications to all sworn personnel on a quarter-ly basis as required by policy also was sustained.

Charter bus crashA charter bus carrying 44

Bishop Union High School stu-dents and five chaperones and staff members left the high-way near Little Lake on Saturday after its driver expe-rienced a medical emergency, according to the district’s superintendent.

“Thankfully no one was seriously injured,” Barry Simpson said Monday.

The Tour Coach Company bus was traveling on Highway 395, approximately 10 miles north of Pearsonville near Little Lake. The students were part of the AVID program at BUHS and were returning from an annual trip visiting college campuses in Southern California.

Simpson said representa-tives of the Tour Coach

Company told him the driver of the bus was experiencing a medical emergency and blacked out. The bus went off the road and eventually came to an abrupt stop after hitting an anchor cable off of the highway. The driver has undergone surgery for issues related to the symptoms he experienced while driving the bus.

Nurses picket NIHMore than 60 union nurses

and their friends, family mem-bers and supporters took up pickets May 4 to protest Northern Inyo Healtcare District’s administration’s fail-ure to negotiate a contract, among other issues.

Chris Hanley, who is part of the union’s bargaining team and has been a nurse since 1995, said the hospital’s nurs-es in January of 2015 orga-nized as a union “to maintain the care and safety of our patients and to retain experi-enced staff and nurture new nurses in a culture of safety.”

“We were losing staff because of a limited medical leave policy, a lack of schedul-ing flexibility, and financial insecurity,” Hanley said. “In the 13 months since then, hundreds of hours have been spent on working up propos-als, talking to union members and discussions with the administration team.”

She said many of the issues that initially brought the nurs-es to unionize have been addressed in tentative agree-ments already reached.

“But after those 13 months of negotiation, the administra-tion’s team is still stuck in first gear while we’re ready to hit overdrive,” Hanley said.

Dr. Kevin Flanigan, the hos-pital’s chief executive officer, said in an email that the administration agrees 13 months is a long time for negotiations to take place.

However, Flanigan stated, in those 13 months there have been 53 scheduled bargaining sessions that are typically eight hours on Fridays. In an

effort to bring these negotia-tions to conclusion, bargaining sessions have been scheduled twice a week with more than 1200 administration man hours dedicated to these meet-ings so far.

“I agree 13 months seems like a long time to negotiate a contract,” Flanigan stated. “However, this is a first con-tract and so far 51 of 71 pro-posals have been signed.”

Early morning fireInvestigations continue into

the cause of a fire that occurred early Sunday morn-ing in Bishop, destroying sev-eral vehicles and causing major damage to an apart-ment building

“I’m just glad nobody got hurt,” the apartment com-plex’s owner, Gary Colbert, said Monday.

Colbert said the fire appears to have begun in the carport, possibly in one of the vehicles.

The Bishop Police Department dispatched the Bishop Volunteer Fire Department to the 100 block of Edwards Street, across from Dwayne’s Friendly Pharmacy around 3:22 a.m. Sunday morning after receiving a report of a residential struc-ture fire.

According to an official statement from the Bishop Police Department, responding units found the building fully engulfed in flame.

“The fire spread within just minutes,” Colbert said. “The people living in the other buildings said the warping metal sounded like a gun fight. It was an extremely hot fire.”

The apartment building damaged by the fire has two units. All of the tenants were out of town and the building

was unoccupied at the time, Colbert said. The fire spread through air vents and caused damage to the attic of the building but the contents of the apartments were saved.

All five vehicles parked in the carport were completely engulfed in flames at once and were lost. Windows in another apartment building were blown out by the heat of the flames, Colbert said.

Too much waterInyo County, with assis-

tance from the California Department of Water Resources, is taking major steps to address a situa-tion plaguing West Bishop in the form of wildly fluc-tuating hydrological con-ditions.

About 100 homes are thought to be impacted or threatened, according to the county.

Responding to a request from the Inyo County Board of Supervisors, two experts with the CDWR arrived in Bishop this week to assess the situation first-hand and do their own analysis. Dr. Bob Harrington, direc-tor of the Inyo County Water Department, said technical staff with the Water Department and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were on hand to provide assistance and data that the two departments have collect-ed related to the problem.

CDWR staff visited problem areas to examine groundwater conditions and the problems that are occurring with public and

private property due to the conditions. According to Harrington, CDWR staff will provide its written assessment of the prob-lem and any recommenda-tions they have in four to six weeks.

Dawndee Rossi guiltyA former Inyo County

Health and Human Services supervisor was convicted on 91 felonies Monday in connection with the embezzlement of 1.3 million in public assis-tance funds.

Judge Philip Argento is schedule to sentence Dawndee Rossy on Oct. 20 in Independence.

In October 2013, Rossy originally had been charged with two counts of grand theft, 34 counts of identity theft, two counts of embezzlement, one count of possession of controlled substance, one count of welfare fraud and four counts of crimi-nal conspiracy in a case involving the alleged embezzlement of more than $1.5 million from the Inyo County Health and Human Services Public Assistance program.

The 91 felony charges Rossy was found guilty of on Monday include grand theft, misappropriation of public funds, welfare fraud, forgery, identity theft, filing false docu-ments in public records, creating false documents, filing false state income tax returns and failing to file state tax returns.

Mothers who purchased antidepressants at least twice during pregnancy had a 37-percent increased risk of speech and/or language disorders among their offspring compared to mothers with depression and other psychiatric disorders who were not treated with antidepressants, according to new research published in JAMA Psychiatry. The speech/language disorders included expressive and receptive language disorders and those involving articulation of sounds. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine, citalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, and escitalopram cross the placenta and enter the fetal circulation. They are also increasingly used during pregnancy.

Approximately 1.9 billion adults are overweight and 600 million are obese worldwide. Identifying effective long-term treatment strategies for overweight and obesity is of paramount importance. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 5 weight loss drugs (orlistat, lorcaserin, naltrexone-bupropion, phentermine-topiramate, and liraglutide) for long-term use in obese (body mass index [BMI] > 30) or overweight (BMI >27) individuals with at least one weight-associated condition (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia). The researchers found that a median 23 percent of placebo participants had at least 5 percent weight loss vs. 75 percent of participants taking phentermine-topiramate, 63 percent of participants taking liraglutide, 55 percent taking naltrexone-bupropion, 49 percent taking lorcaserin, and 44 percent taking orlistat. All active agents were associated with significant excess weight loss compared with placebo at 1 year: phentermine-topiramate, 19.4 lbs.; liraglutide, 11.7 lbs.; naltrexone-bupropion, 11 lbs.; lorcaserin, 7.1 lbs.; and orlistat, 5.7 lbs. Compared with placebo, liraglutide and naltrexone-bupropion were associated with the highest odds of adverse event-related treatment discontinuation.

Significant Details

Let’s see what will happen and what won’t happen

in 2017 Lurking just over the horizon is a new day, a new chapter in

the human experience that will be drenched in hope, sunshine, possibility, compassion, joy, beauty, optimism and love.

Ha, ha, just kidding. Actually, lurking just over the horizon is

a new year that will be a big old wad of crud, a year filled with hopelessness, shame, dread, darkness, grief, pain, ugli-ness, pessimism and hate.

Ha, ha, just kidding. Every New Year brings out the Drama

Queens who are more than willing to spout off, with various amounts of vigor, about what might happen in the next 12 months or what absolutely will not ever happen in the next 12 months.

So let’s give that a try, shall we? Oh, and you get to guess whether the following predictions/headlines fall into which cat-egory: Will Happen or Won’t Happen.

Single California State Patrol officer spends a day snagging speeders in Lone Pine, Independence, Big Pine and Bishop, writes 250 speeding tickets, is named Inyo County Citizen of the Year by grateful residents.

Teenagers abandon smart phones and social media in favor of new fad: sending personal notes and black-and-white line drawings on hand made paper using Chinese calligraphy pens; moms declare “that’s dumb, honey, just send a photo and a text.”

Lone Pine Film Festival announces new series of Midnight Movies Shot in Inyo, starting with “The Hills Have Thighs,” which explains the midnight show times.

State builds “modular courtroom,” not a trailer, in Independence; herd of plastic pink flamingos, horseshoe pits, junked cars, empty Red Bull cans appear on the lawn with sign, “Welcome To The Trailer-hood” and jail inmates say value of their cells plummets.

The NCAA determines every college football team gets to play in a bowl game; organizers of the Mr. Clean Toilet Bowl are flush with excitement.

The Inyo National Forest releases revised Forest Plan; every-one says, “hey, nice photos,” and forgets about it.

By popular demand, the Independence Fruitcake Festival returns; world ponders what “popular demand” really means.

After writing 238 retractions, clarifications and denials, news media figure out President Trump’s tweets really don’t mean anything, decide to reduce their workload by not reporting the initial tweet and just sticking with writing up the retractions, clarifications and denials; a grateful nation rejoices.

Snow creeps down into the Owens Valley; during the night three inch “dump” paralyzes travel, closes schools, traumatizes residents, shutters local government, closes local businesses; grateful students and workers rejoice, get ready to revel in unexpected day off; snow melts at 8:28 a.m., word goes out, “Never Mind,” disgruntled workers and students trudge to work and school, cursing “winter.”

Courts vacate offices and courtrooms in historic courthouse, county installs grow lights and hydroponic marijuana garden in one courtroom, seeks bids from local tribes to install casino and brew pub in second courtroom and adjoining offices.

Mule Days decides, what the heck, let’s include bunnies and llamas in every event, they are cute and will get us more hits on Facebook; entire county sits in stunned silence.

The city of Los Angeles “remembers” that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power owns most of Inyo County, sends all county residents a nice fruit basket for Christmas.

Tri-County Fair adds new events/contests: Whiskey Drinking and Mud Pit Dancing; Marijuana Smoking and Cheetos/Dorito Eating; Fruitcake Toss for Distance and Accuracy; HIGH Altitude Brownies (yeah, that kind of brownie); Marijuana Cultivation (conflict of interest rules mean Inyo County’s Courthouse Chromosome Crosser “weed” is ineligible).

WITH BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE FOR A SAFE & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

• Plan an alcohol-free celebration – Host a fondue or “make your own” ice cream sundae party as a fresh alternative. Add some fun party games to keep guests enter-tained without drinking!• Check your keys with the host – This is an effective strategy for giving the host some control over inebriated guests.• Keep the number of a taxi company handy – A good tip for both party guests and hosts alike.• Offer to drive a guest home – Start the New Year off right by performing a good deed and help keep drunk drivers off the road.• Appoint a designated driver – Use the buddy system and you can return the favor next time.• Provide lots of snacks to party guests – Drinking on an empty-stomach rapidly increases alcohol’s debilitating effects.• Post transportation info on party invites – Include information for public trans-portation, car pools and taxi company phone numbers.• Don’t let a friend drive drunk – Take the car keys away or use one of the strate-gies above to see your friends safely home.

“Key” Strategies For A Safe New Year’s Celebration:

BECAUSE SAFETY IS KEY,PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!It probably comes as no surprise that more traffic

fatalities due to drunk driving occur at the New Year than any other time, but of course, you should never drink and

drive. With your safety in mind, these community sponsors urge you to review these important tips for hosting or attending a safe celebration!

INYOContinued from front page ogy hike, a tour of the mining ghost town of Ryan, and an eco-tourism tour of Shoshone.

Eco-tourism, Inyo Associate President Joel Hampton said, is tourism based on spending time in nature rather than visiting man-made attractions. Eco-tourim has been increasing in popularity in recent years, and southern Inyo County is in a unique position to capi-talize on the new trend, because of attractions like Ash Meadows and other rural parts of Death Valley.

The big dinner is sched-uled for Saturday night and will feature a presentation from Death Valley Superintendent Mike Reynolds.

“Death Valley is an integral part of Inyo County,” Hampton said.

He said the purpose of Inyo Associates is to give community advocates the opportunity to come together and communicate, cooperat-ing to sustain the economic stability of the Eastern Sierra

and promote tourism. But when Father Crowley

helped start Inyo Associates in the mid 1930s, that was not his only goal. White said that at the time, there was deep animosity between the people of Inyo County and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

“He hoped to foster a bet-ter relationship between the city of LA and the govern-ment agencies in the area because people in the Owens

Valley really weren’t’ happy with LA,” White said.

Over the years, Inyo Associates has changed a lot, White said. When he and his wife, Kathy, began attending the meetings in the early 1980s, most of the attendees were government personnel, who were mostly men. Now, the group is a vastly diverse group of individuals who share a passion for seeing Inyo County thrive.

Each month, the meetings are held in a different Owens Valley community, except for January, when the meeting is held in Death Valley.

“Having the New Year meeting in Death Valley is special because of the con-nection Death Valley has to Father Crowley,” Hampton said.

The deadline for dinner reservations is Tuesday, Jan. 3. Checks for $56.71 per per-son must be mailed to the Independence Civic Club at P.O. Box 482, Independence, CA 93526. The dinner will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 21 at the Furnace Creek Inn.

SIHContinued from front page expertise,” he said.

Fedchenko said part of that expertise includes “cod-ing,” which is critical to get the hospital the best reim-bursement possible.

“We are getting the benefit of their staff,” Fedchenko said. “All of those resources are coming here and spend-ing the day here or some-times two or three days depending on the issue.”

HCCA, Fedchenko said, has added management staff as SIH employees, such as a controller and a business manager.

The former administrator was filling different roles, he pointed out.

“So there were a lot of holes when she left,” he said.

With the recent elections, SIH now has a full board of directors. It is made up of Fedchenko as president, Secretary Jaque Hickman, Treasurer Carma Roper, Director Chuck Carson and Director Mark Lacey.

“That’s a tremendous dif-ference,” Fedchenko said.

A year ago the hospital was missing payroll at an “alarming basis,” he said, adding that the employees also lost their health insur-ance. Now, payroll is stable and employees have health insurance.

“There were employees who saw the writing on the wall and sought employment elsewhere, many of whom were no longer available when we reopened,”

Fendchenko said. “Now we are adding employees.”

The priority for next year, he said is for a strategic plan to be adopted for the hospi-tal.

“We need to define our mission and plan out how we meet that mission,” he said.

Inyo County Fifth District Supervisor Matt Kingsley, who was key in getting the hospital on its way to recov-ery said Thursday, “I know we still have a long way to go.”

“But to have the hospital open, to have the hospital accepting patients, I think we are very fortunate,” Kingsley said. “This was a much more pleasant Christmas this year than last year for me person-ally.”

Ticking towards eternityMany people may not

remember the old TV com-mercial about the Timex watch that was tied to a boat or car tire and taken for a ride after which a spokesperson would pro-nounce, “It takes a beating and keeps on ticking.” It was amazing.

Still more amazing is the universe’s oldest chrono-graph – the Earth. Genesis tells us that the Earth was the first planetary orb creat-ed. It was around before the sun. Time was being mea-sured in days before the sun helped us out.

God created the entire universe to attest to His glory. “The heavens declare

the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork,” Psalm 19:1.

What is interesting to contemplate is that time was not existent until God creat-ed it for the benefit of man-kind. God is eternal, both in the past and the future. He had no need of time. On the fourth day God created the sun, and the ultimate “time-piece” was created. The Earth rotated each day, clicking off the universal “minutes.” The earth revolved around the sun clicking off the universal “hours.” And, as they say, it has never been the same.

God gives us records of time on the Earth as well. We have the seasons to remind us that time march-es on, every year they come

and go. Planetary orbits. Erosion. Gray hair. Growing trees. Why, when you think about it, time is happening all around us.

Yes, the existence of the universe affirms that God IS. The function of the univer-sal chronograph is for us, to reveal time. The question is, “Why does God give us this time?” Why are there con-stant reminders of progres-sion? My suggestion is that God is allowing us to see that this precious life we have been given is finite. Each one of us has a limited number of seconds on this Earth, and then we enter eternity. The seasons, the migrations, the snowmelt,

are all there to show us; the writing is on the wall. Each one of us is ticking toward eternity.

God is allowing us the time to come to the under-standing that He is in con-trol. He made everything around us. The mountains, the seas, animals, life and the Earth. Though “It takes a beating and keeps on tick-ing,” Scripture tells us some-day the earth will pass away as well, but until then it is our “Game Clock.” We do not however, have the bene-fit of knowing which “quar-ter” we are in. For some, the time may be shorter than for others, but in any case, it is time to consider who God is, and how we can be at peace with Him.

As we get ready to “wind up” another year, now is the best time to reflect on eter-

nity. We will not be able to tell God, “Gee, I just never really gave you much thought, God.” He is a loving God and not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). He sent His Son Jesus Christ so that all who receive Him should not per-ish, but have everlasting life, Eternity with Him! (John 3:16).

Make peace with Him this season.

Hope renewedA pastor I know recently

delivered a talk about Christmas that was a little different than I am used to hearing. His take-off point was that of all the cultures in the world today Americans are probably the most apt to celebrate, even over-celebrate, Christmas.

Our celebratory tradi-tions are all an amalgam of ideas and customs from many sources, from which we each draw aspects that mean the most to us as individuals. It didn’t take much thought to see the truth in that.

Nor did it take much thought to make the jump from Christmas to New Year traditions. One of the main sources of our New Year’s traditions is inextricably intertwined with one source of Christmas traditions. By the time Jan. 1 comes around the winter solstice has recently passed. In those nine or 10 days an observant person can see that by the first the days have lengthened, just a bit.

Winter is passing. While it is not here yet, there is a promise of spring. We know life is now on the road to shaking off its winter sleep and bursting out anew once more. It can be a time of hope.

It can be a time of hope and a time of preparation. As the new life begins to build around us, we look forward to the renewal of the coming spring. In our minds, and hopefully our hearts, we lay down a

framework or platform from which to work. We want to be ready to tackle the old challenges and any new ones that might come along. In a very real sense, we look forward to both a fresh start, and a do-over, if we need one.

Those are the common elements of the New Year’s celebrations: hope, renewal, fresh starts and even do-overs. We can attribute them to the psychological boost occasioned by warm-ing weather and the orbital mechanics that lengthen the days. We can attribute them to the good spirits inspired by the holidays and the tra-ditions that attend them. We can even attribute them to the measures we plan to make our lives better. But if that is as far as we go, as appropriate as those things are, something is missing.

So, what is the intertwin-ing? What is the missing ele-ment? Some of us leave Him at the stable, often without even realizing it. Christ came to fulfill hope. He

holds the promise of true spiritual renewal for each of us, a renewal that can over-flow into all areas of our lives. That kind of renewal leads to a fresh start, one that He empowers us to build on strengths instead of weaknesses. That kind of hope and overflowing renewal can even grant a do-over, dropping all the baggage we no longer need to carry.

Take a look, “He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor does he pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the Earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. And as far as sunrise is from sun-set, he has separated us from our sins.” (Psalms 103:10-12, The Message)

Time to go back to the stable, don’t you think?

(Philip Severi, a former Bishop resident, previously wrote a weekly column for The Inyo Register. He con-tributes to this page from his home in Twain Harte.)

A happy new you Every year begins with

hopes and prayers for improvement and an increase of good in all areas of life. Many people make resolutions amounting to a change in attitude or a change of conditions result-ing in health, happiness or condition of abundance. Many make the same resolu-tion every year, which is not a bad thing; however, with-out a commitment to change, not much will change. Making an altera-tion in your life not only takes a conscious effort, but takes the energy to back it up.

Unfortunately, not a lot of thought seems to be uti-lized to deal with improve-ment of life or life style. Most of the time and energy involves coping with what-ever comes. Few individuals seem to know that they can consciously change most, if not all, of what’s happening in their world. One fallacy we must deal with is the idea of randomness. Mathematicians use a theo-retical random number table in their calculations, but we

must learn how, even though inadvertently, we have chosen the happenings and events in our life, it is purposeful.

Making changes is not as complicated as most people make it out to be. If they realized that small changes in their vocabulary or their attitude can have far reach-ing implications, they might take a shot at it.

When I first entered into the study of Religious Science I was in a low place in my life. My marriage was unravelling and my health

was less than perfect. I won’t go into a lot of details, but my body was lis-tening to the words I was using. One of my favorite negative sayings, which I had many opportunities to use, was, “Isn’t that a pain in the #*%?” After utilizing those words for some time it became painful to sit down. I certainly did not tie the words I was using to my physical discomfort, but when I became aware of the connection, and ceased using the phrase, the pain and discomfort ended, and that was 45 years ago.

I tell this story to demon-strate how powerful your words are. Changing the words changed the condi-tion. It is not just a health issue but it permeates all areas of your life. If we only knew that we maintain dis-ease by claiming it as our own. I hear individuals describing what is wrong with them like they were talking about an old friend. Never claim a disease or ill-ness as your own! Speak your words about your con-dition as whole, complete

and perfect. It takes con-scious effort to claim whole-ness, when you feel bad, but if you desire the change, it is worth it.

Somehow changing your vocabulary and the way you use it doesn’t seem to be a religious experience, but no matter what your faith or denomination, all change begins with you. I can’t do it for you. As great as Jesus was, he couldn’t do it for you. You have the power to change your life right now. Claim your good and refuse to claim what you don’t want in your life.

God is Love and Loving You Right Now!

warned.SAGITTARIUS (November

22 to December 21) Your associates are firmly on your side, and that persistent problem that has caused you to delay some activities should soon be resolved to your satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Favorable changes continue to dominate, and you should be responding positively as they emerge. Someone wants to become more involved in what you’re doing.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friend wants to share a secret that could answer some questions you’ve wondered about for a long time. Meanwhile, travel aspects continue to be strong.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay on your new course despite so-called well-meaning efforts to discourage you. Rely on your deep sense of self-awareness to guide you to do what’s right for you.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have the capacity to meet challenges that others might find overwhelming, and turn them into successful ventures.

Dear Annie: I’m fed up with my neighbors across the street. They are a family of four – with two kids who are about 4 and 6 years old. The mom is really the one who’s bothering me. Daytime is not a prob-lem, as I’m at work. Nighttime is not a prob-lem; the kids play on the trampoline in their front yard, and I actually smile sometimes seeing them. (Brings me back to those days of not having a care in the world. And what kids play outside these days anyway?) Morning, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly frustrating for me.

You see, Mom has a habit of broadcasting their entire morning rou-tine to the whole street. When trying to shuffle the kids out to the car for school, she’s yelling from inside the house: “Augie, I SAID wash your hands and grab your lunch!” Once they’re in the drive-way, she’s demanding, “Ava, NO! Not in the street! You’re going to get hit.”

Her voice is high and shrill. It reminds me of an evil teacher I had in fourth grade.

Strapping the kids in the car is a whole third ordeal. One time, her son locked the doors, so she couldn’t get in the car. I can’t help but wonder whether he’s acting up to get a rise out of her (and I chuckle).

This scene happens every morning around 7 a.m. – and even on Saturdays and Sundays! Though I do appreciate

these free lessons on how NOT to parent my chil-dren, I’m literally tired of it, as it wakes me up and I can’t go back to sleep. And I don’t want to hear someone else’s business shouted up and down the block. A friend suggested I slip an anonymous note in their mailbox asking them to be mindful of the volume. Would that be rude? I don’t have kids yet, but I do sympathize with the challenge of being a mom. What should I do?

– Nancy Across the Way

Dear Nancy: We have a tendency in our society to always blame the mom. Being a working mother to two young children is challenging. (I know the feeling.) So do try to cut her some slack. She may be a perfectly pleasant person most of the time.

That being said, I might approach her in a polite way and let her know that her morning voice is noticeably loud and car-ries across the neighbor-hood. My guess is she’s in such a rush every morning that she never stops to realize she is

screaming. She would probably appreciate the info.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Widow in Need,” whose stepson sold her husband’s farm and didn’t give her any of the proceeds.

Her first step must be a discussion with an attorney. Once she has an action plan in place, the second step might be to discuss the situation and action plan with her son before she invites her stepson to dinner to request that the stepson and his wife abide by his obligations.

There are a lot of bad things about this situa-tion. The most heart-breaking is the stepson’s willingness to use his manipulation skills on his stepmother for his own benefit. He has shown that the “ounce of compassion” is not in him. Did the widow receive anything for her half of the farm’s value? Did her son get his quar-ter of the farm’s value?

I hope that she sees an attorney first and that the state she lives in is a community property state.

– 78-Year-Old Farm Owner

Neighbor hits last nerve

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A hectic period begins to wind down. Take time to draw some deep breaths and relax before getting into your next project. A long-absent family member makes contact.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your lap. But you’d be wise to take this one step at a time to allow new developments to come through.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re almost ready to make a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could provide important answers.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best to make your new

The horse team on the right pulls the derrick along, and this was called “driving derrick.” The derrick from the Partridge Ranch is at the Laws Museum.

Threshers take a break from their hard work. The Owens Valley produced many tons of wheat. Charles Olds headed a threshing crew which would begin threshing just south of Bishop and work its way south. There were two flour mills – one near where Plant 6 is today. The other was owned by the Kelsos between the Bishop Creek Canal and Johnston Drive. Two threshing machines are in the Laws Museum yard.

MAMMoTH SNow

(Hiked on Nov. 21, 2016)

Most of the time I drive straight through Buttermilk Country on my way to the trailheads at South Lake, Lake Sabrina and North Lake for hikes in the high country above 10,000 feet.

Unfortunately at this time of year it is practically impossible hiking any of these trails, so what’s left? Hiking in the spots that are too hot to hike in during the summer but are perfect for wandering in these cold outside temperatures. Buttermilk Country is one of these spots that has plenty of dirt roads to walk on and small peaks to climb, as well as mining ruins that are fun to explore safely. The high point is Grouse Mountain at 8,085 feet, but there are a number of smaller summits that can easily be climbed, affording possibly the best views of the Sierra Nevada west of Bishop.

Most folks that venture out into Buttermilk Country are there for the world-class rock climbing on the large quantity of perfect boulder-ing boulders. I never got into rock climbing, I guess it’s because I like to keep my feet on the ground and moving constantly. I’ve hiked in Buttermilk Country many times now and have put some miles behind me, hiking all over the area from Buttermilk Hill to Grouse Mountain and the high point of the Tungsten Hills on the northwest side. For the latest hike, I parked off of Buttermilk Road and Highway 168 without a plan of attack, just a day of blissful wandering. There are so many roads through-

out the area that it’s easy to get around and check out the old mine sites, as well as peaks and rocks to climb, making for a great day with incredible views of the Sierra Crest to the west.

I parked in the turnout off Highway 168, which is about seven miles west of Bishop and started up an old road to the north that was barely noticeable any-more. The road dropped down to narrow McGee Creek, where it cannot be seen due to overgrown veg-etation. I found the spot where there’s a slight open-ing in the brush and three steps later I was back on the old road again. A few feet up creek there’s what appears to be an old crane of some sort that’s been left to rust for eternity. The trail stays next to the creek for a few more feet before turning left up a very dry canyon where there’s an excavation site blocked by massive tall and scratchy water birch.

I turned right on a use trail that heads straight up to Buttermilk Hill (6,035 feet), this is where the fun begins. I chose a direct route up the steep slope to

the ridge east of the actual summit. I could feel the cold wind hitting the sweat on my forehead as I made my way to the summit block, about one mile from my car. The views from here are spectacular, it’s kind of like a painting that’s alive, with mountains as far as the eye can see.

After signing the old reg-ister for the ump-teenth time, I started down the west side aiming for a smaller peak to the north. I

hit the saddle running, gain-ing momentum for the push to the top of this unnamed peak. The summit has a large rock cairn on top of it with a very old rusted metal cigarette case containing paper so old it is impossible to read. I left it in the spot where I found it so the next person can be as curious as I was.

A quiet wind was blow-ing slightly from the west and that’s the direction I headed, eyeballing a mine

shaft next to a small grove of Cottonwood trees. Some slight exploring followed my arrival at the shaft, before moving southwest towards one of the many moderate size boulder knobs that dot the area. I spent a couple of hours going from knob to knob until I found myself on a southeasterly road that headed in the direction of my vehicle. I squished through some small patches of snow then jogged slowly

towards McGee Creek, where I crossed it and hopped on the unrecogniz-able road that I started on. Before I knew it I was back at my car, fulfilled to the utmost maximum.
