The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power announced recently that international construction and engineering firm OHL USA has won the contract to build Phase 9/10 of the Owens Lake Project. OHL USA submitted the winning bid for the work, which has a price tag of about $239 million dollars. Barnard, based in Bozeman, Mont., has been working on the lake since 2000, and the company and its employees have become a well known and respected part of the Lone Pine community. The firm has successfully bid, won and completed contracts for seven separate dust control and construction projects on the lake, with a total value of more than $400 million. OHL USA is a relative newcomer to the California construction scene, having established an office in Irvine in 2013. However, Obrascón Huarte Lain was founded in Spain in 1911, and has grown into a sprawling international firm since. OHL Group ranks 31st among international contractors, and ranks eighth among Latin American builders, its website states.

Vol. 146, Issue 1 House fire in Big Pine Big Pine firefighters responded to a fire call at 5:14 p.m. Wednesday at 520 Cornell in Big Pine for the report of a chimney fire that had spread to the attic of the house. Big Pine Fire Chief Damon Carrington said approximately one-third of the attic was damaged by the fire, portions of the ceiling inside the house fell and firefighters had to vent the roof to prevent the fire from spreading. Carrington said that no injuries resulted from the fire. Assisting Big Pine was one engine from Bishop with seven personnel, and a CalFire engine with four personnel stood by in Big Pine to cover medical calls. Carrington noted that the three smoke alarms inside the house did not have batteries and he urges everyone to make certain they have functioning smoke alarms.

Richard P. Fedchenko, who was elected president by the two other members of the newly appointed board of directors for the Southern Inyo Healthcare District, said Thursday that the clinic remains open but because the district remains in limbo for now, uncertainty of area residents and district employees abounds. “People are concerned about the future and their jobs,” Fedchenko said. Fedchenko, Jaque Hickman and Mark Lacey where appointed as the board of directors quorum on Tuesday by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors and the three held their first meeting on Wednesday. Hickman is the vice president of the board. Fedchenko said on Thursday that the board is planning another emergency meeting on Saturday. It was tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. but a venue that could house the amount of people expected to attend hadn’t been determined as of press time Thursday. Fedchenko, whose background includes being a research physicist, entrepreneur, business consultant, professor and vice president of strategy for 3D Systems, also was appointed by his fellow board members to provide day-to-day administrative direction. Thursday was his first day on the job. See board E Page 6 Guess who’s having a birthday?

She was 84 years old. Shirley was born on Feb. 2, 1931, in Dayton, Ohio, to Myrtle and Russell May. She was the second of four children and the second daughter born. While growing up in Dayton and Celina, Ohio, Shirley would meet and eventually marry the love of her life, Robert Richard “Dick” Bourelle, on Nov. 8, 1947. Three and a half years later in 1951 daughter, Rebecca “Becky” was born and a year later in 1952 son Michael “Mike” was born. In 1959, Shirley and Dick moved with their young family to Lynwood, Calif. In 1960, son Brian and in 1969, son Steven were added to the crew. After many years of family camping and fishing trips to the Sierra, Shirley, Dick and son Steven moved to Bishop, Calif., in 1986. Shirley worked at Jack’s for many years and became a favorite of locals and tourists alike. In her time off, you could often find Shirley fishing and camping around the Owen’s Valley with her family. Every summer, Shirley and Dick would pack up their trailer and head up to Mono Village where they would spend countless weekends and holidays in the place they loved most. After retiring from Jack’s, Shirley decided she was not quite ready or cutout for the retirement life and went to work at Dwayne’s Friendly Pharmacy where she once again became a favorite of locals and tourists. After finally retiring in 2011, Shirley became active in the First United Methodist Church as a Sunday school teacher and a clerk at Overflow Blessings. She was also active in the NIH Auxiliary. Shirley was preceded in death by the love of her life, Dick Bourelle, parents, Russell and Myrtle May, brother Bob May, and greatgrandson Jacob Boyer. Shirley is survived by sister, Martha, brother, Russell “Uncle Vic,” sisters-in-law, Jeanne, Jeanne, and Nina Sue, daughter Rebecca “Becky,” sons, Michael “Mike” and wife, Barbara, Brian and wife, Panda, and Steven and wife, Lynne, son (nephew) Norm “Pat” and wife, Linda, grandchildren, Krista, Laura, Brian Jr., Natalie, Emily, Jeremy, Casey and Tommie as well as 13 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, extended family, many, many friends and her beloved kitty, Cassidy. To many, Shirley will be remembered as the sweet little lady with the silver hair who loved her Dodgers and would do whatever she could for someone in need, friend or stranger. She was a loving wife, devoted mother, doting grandma, great-grandma and a strong woman. She will be missed by all who knew her. We can take comfort in knowing that she is now pain free and with the love of her life, Dick, for all eternity. A celebration of life for Shirley has been set for Saturday Jan. 16, 2016, 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Bishop with a reception to follow in the Great Hall. Donations can be made in Shirley’s name to ICare. Eva-Brigitte Buntic 1921 - 2015 Eva-Brigitte Buntic, 94, resident of Sterling Heights, Bishop, Calif., born in Germany on May 16, 1921, passed away peaceably surrounded by friends and family on Dec. 27, 2015, in Inyo Hospital. Prior to Bishop she resided in Mammoth Lakes after moving from Illinois with her husband, Robert, in 1976. Survivors include daughter, Birgid Buntic, of Raleigh, N.C., son Robert Buntic and daughter-in-law Karen, of Mount Prospect, Ill. She was preceded in death by husband, Robert Buntic, and sister Sigrid Rutstein of Deerfield, Ill. She enjoyed the friends she made working many years with the U.S. Forest Service. She was commended for excellence numerous times by the USFS. It was an important part of her life. The family would like to especially thank the Schneider family, with special thanks to her friend Barbara (BJ) Schneider, for their loving friendship and support of Eva through the years. Eva made many friends in the area as well as maintaining relationships with those in her birth country. She will be missed by many. Memorial services are not planned. Since Eva had a special place in her heart for animals of all sorts (especially dogs!) the family requests that memorial donations be sent to ICare (Inyo County Animal Resources and Education), POB 76, Bishop, CA 93515.

The caller’s voice contained a mix of confusion and fear. “Snow, we’ve got snow, it is snowing hard, big wet flakes, and snow is sticking on the ground, it’s not melting.” Central Command tried to calm the caller: “Nothing out of the ordinary, forecasts called for snow in Mammoth and a 50 percent chance of rain in the Owens Valley. What is your location?” “Bishop.” “Bishop???” “Yes, Bishop.” “Bishop???” Jon Klusmire “Yes, Bishop, are you deaf?” “Sorry, give us an update, from … Bishop.” OPINION “The snow is really coming down, it’s almost a white out, it’s covering the ground, it’s a real snow storm.” “Roger that, call back with road reports.” “Okay Storm Watch Central Command, we have a snowstorm, activate emergency protocols, we are going right to DEF-CON TWO, DEFCON TWO. Get ready people, it might be a rough ride.” “Hey, check Facebook, there are reports of heavy snow falling in Big Pine, the ground is already covered and it’s getting worse.” “Oh no, oh no, it’s happening and there’s nothing we can do about it, we are just powerless pawns awaiting our grim fate, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, why us? Why us?” “Get a hold of yourself, man, people are counting on us.” “Okay, we have a call from a Mom in Big Pine asking about road conditions and black ice on US 395, and wondering if every snowplow in the county has been called out to rescue stranded travelers and lead convoys of cars through the blizzard.” “Listen up, people, we are going to DEF-CON THREE, DEF-CON THREE, full alert, all hands on deck, we need to keep our cool and weather this storm.” “We just got an update from our field agent who is on the road, reporting huge flakes in Big Pine, the snow is on the highway, repeat, snow is on the highway and there are reports of snowplows on the highway, repeat, snowplows are on the highway.” “Oh no, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, not plows, please not plows, we are DOOMED.” “Visual Alert, snow is falling in Independence, repeat, snow is falling in Independence and it is sticking to the ground, it is not melting, it is piling up on the ground.” A Command Central aide breaks for the door and bolts outside – a crack under pressure? Too much stress and strain? “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, get back in here you fool, you fool.” Relief sweeps the Command as the aide returns and reports a successful snow selfie. “People, we are going to DEF-CON FOUR, DEF-CON FOUR, Emergency Alert, Emergency Alert.” “We just got another call from a Mom in Southern California who heard about the storm and is asking if the order has gone out to ‘shelter In place’ to survive the storm?” “Tell her that the situation is desperate, but not that desperate. With any luck, we’ll all make it out of this and live to tell the tale.” A tense two hours later, Storm Watch Central Command issued its final report: “Roads are clear and final storm totals are a half of an inch of snow in Bishop and Independence and an inch in Big Pine. “Thanks to your prayers and THE LOVE OF GOD, we have survived.” (Jon Klusmire of Bishop is a Colorado native who is amused by California “snow storms.”) Press releases Made easy 1) Save Your Press Release as a “txt” Document.

In a press release announcing OHL USA had won the contract for the next round of work on the lake, LADWP stated, “The Phase 9/10 project is designed to mitigate dust emissions on an additional 3.62 square miles of Owens Lake playa. By the completion of this project, the city of Los Angeles will have mitigated dust emissions from over 48 square miles of Owens Lake playa and LADWP will have reduced PM10 dust emissions from the lakebed by 99 percent. The effort is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2017. Upon completion of Phase 9/10, the city of Los Angeles’ overall investment in the Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Program will reach nearly $2 billion.” The press release did not outline details of the transition from Barnard to OHL USA, or provide an exact date when OHL USA will begin work, but it stated that the firm is looking to hire local workers for a variety of positions. organizational meeting will essentially be an hour-long brainstorming session that will provide a chance for residents to offer ideas about how to commemorate and celebrate all aspects of the coming 150th Anniversary celebration. “Everything is on the table at this point,” said Inyo County Chief Administrative Officer Kevin Carunchio. “We want to hear everyone’s ideas,” about ways the county, community groups, and local residents can celebrate the 150th anniversary, he said. Just as important, “we would like to have enthusiastic people from every area of the county – from Death Valley to Round Valley -- volunteer to help with events and programs during the year,” Carunchio said. The January organizational meeting is geared solely to individuals, Carunchio added, since a separate outreach effort will be geared to informing organizations, businesses, non-profits and other groups how they can participate in the Inyo County Sesquicentennial.

He said he expects that issue to be worked out in a near-future meeting. During its first meeting Tuesday the board received a presentation from Dr. Benny Benzeevi, head of HealthCare Conglomerate Associates. Several media outlets throughout the state have reported that under the management of HCCA Tulare Regional Medical Center, which was seeing financial trouble and legal problems, turned the corner for the positive. Tulare Regional Medical Center reported a net profit at the end of last year after months of red ink, saw its Fitch credit rating change from “negative” to “stable” and had its “going concern” removed by an auditing team last fall. Under the 15-year agreement, HCCA gets a flat monthly fee of $225,000 while the district keeps any remaining profits. Eventually, the group will lease the facility, keeping any profits for itself or shouldering the full weight of any financial losses, Benzeevi has said. The financial problems that led SIH to be several weeks behind on payroll and its inability to pay for ER doctors and other services are, in the broadest sense, the result of cash flow problems rather than deficit spending. On a yearly basis, the hospital generally balances a $5.2 million budget. But at the beginning of December, it only had enough cash on hand to meet a week’s payroll, about $55,000.

According to the LADWP press release, “OHL USA will be hiring union trades, clerical and office staff positions for the Phase 9/10 Project. To apply to work on Phase 9/10, please contact Ezam Khazeni of OHL California at 949-2424432, or email your resume to [email protected].” While Barnard might not be on site to complete the final work on the huge project, the firm has made its mark on the Owens Lake and the Owens Valley. The dramatic reduction in dust coming off the lake and the emergence of birds and other wildlife in the once desolate landscape were accomplished while Barnard was on the job. The company’s web page prominently features photos of the Owens Lake Dust Mitigation Project, and describes its role in the sprawling, multi-year effort: “By the year 2000, the 108-square-mile lakebed had become the largest dust (PM10) polluter in North America, second in the world only to the Sahara Desert. The naturally occurring combination of saline soils covering the lakebed that are fine and clayey in nature created a dust problem that has affected people across hundreds of miles. “Since 2000, Barnard has constructed a series of projects aimed at reducing dust emissions without using excess precious water. The result: Owens Lake today is a much different place. Using innovative methods such as shallowflooding, salt grass planting, moat and row construction, and rock armoring, the dust production from the lakebed has been reduced significantly. Systematically attacking the worst pollution source areas one at a time, the lakebed is now a haven for Snowy Plovers and other migrating birds.” The Inyo Register 6 SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 2016 Your 2016 Calendar Has arrived!

Even though the holiday is over I find myself humming snatches of my favorite songs. It’s a shame we only sing these songs once a year, what a waste of great music! There is one song, however, that’s perfectly okay to sing any time of the year and that’s because it really isn’t a Christmas song. No one seems to know that though because as of the late 1900s, it was the most-published “Christmas” song in North America. Performers such as Andy Williams, The Supremes, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Patty Loveless, Clay Aiken and many others have all included it in their Christmas albums or CDs. The Christmas decorations and CDs have been put away for another year and now you hear that the iconic Christmas song “Joy to The World” is not even a Christmas song? But don’t take my word for it; the hymn writer himself declared that this was a song in celebration of Jesus’ Linda Wisdom Columnist Second Advent, glorifying Christ’s triumphant return at the end of the age. The song was first published in 1719 and Isaac Watts based the words on Psalm 98 where the psalmist praises God as the Deliverer (v. 1-3), as King (v. 4-6) and as Ruler (v. 7-9). As if confusion over which hymns should be considered Christmas carols isn’t enough, now what is this about understanding Jesus’ First Advent (Coming) and His Second? Mary and Joseph were told of both; Joseph was told of the First and Mary learned of the Second. The angel told Joseph to take Mary as his wife because “that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit … and you shall call His name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:20-21). Joseph would have known that the only way to remove sin is by blood sacrifice (Leviticus 17:11) and he no doubt was familiar with Isaiah’s prophecy, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:5-6). The first time Jesus came, he came quietly as the Lamb of God, our sacrifice. The angel Gabriel also visited Mary before Jesus’ birth and explained, “You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end” (Luke 1:3133). When Jesus comes at His Second Advent, He will come as the Lion of Judah with great majesty and power (Zechariah 14 and especially v. 9: “And the Lord will be king over all the earth…”). There is no need to scratch the song “Joy to The World” from our list of Christmas favorites. There was great joy at Christ’s First Advent when Jesus was born. The angel told the shepherds “behold I bring you good news of great joy which shall be for all the people.” Yes, we should rejoice with the shepherds, but we also need to remember and anticipate Jesus’ return at His Second Advent. What a glorious day that will be when He comes as King of kings and Lord of lords! (Linda Wisdom is a friend of Bishop Creek Community Church, an Evangelical Free Church that meets Sundays at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church at 700 Hobson Ave., corner of Hobson and Keough, at 11 a.m. For more information, call 760-8727188 or email www. BishopCreekCommunity.org.) Universal Intelligence We live, move and have our being in a universe of Infinite Intelligence. Many scientists have theorized that life, as we know it, came about by some kind of miraculous accident. We in Religious Science do not subscribe to the idea of accidental anything. The great Law of Cause and Effect determines outcomes in all circumstances and situations, including the essence of our being. We call God, First Cause or Creative Cause, because of the Creative Nature of the Divine. As man was created in the image and likeness of God, humankind also has the same creative aspect of being, which we refer to as the secondary cause. The big difference between First Cause and secondary cause is that God cannot and will not create lack, loss or limitation, while negative and limited thinking of mankind can utilize the same energy to create chaos in their experiences. The question may come up asking, “What person, in Rev. Walt Sharer Columnist their right mind, would purposely create disorder and/ or heartbreak into their life?” The answer to the question is contained within the question. It is obvious that the individual is not in their right mind and ignorant of what they are doing to themselves and those around them. Ignorance of the Law, we have all heard, is no excuse. Jesus, and many others through time has said, “It is done unto you as you believe.” A belief in limitation, in any form, is cause to a manifestation of negation of equal intensity to the degree of the belief, which is the effect. In general; what we can use our senses to detect is effect responding to our use of Mind. This why we can say, “Change your thought and change your life.” “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:56). We must acknowledge a greater knowledge than what your intellect has absorbed over the time you have lived on this earth. There is so much more than we know, however, because we are each using the Divine Mind of God, all is available when we need it. Ernest Holmes said, “There is a Power in the Universe greater than we are and we can use it.” We could just as easily say, “There is Infinite Intelligence in the Universe, which is greater than our limited intellect and we can use it.” Creation did not end with the first seven days, mention in the Book of Genesis. Financial, emotional, and physical problems may appear to lead to dead ends, but Infinite Intelligence can see a path you may not know about. Trusting in the Lord is a recognition that the answers to every question is within each one of us, and we can tap into it consciously and know we have set in motion the wheels of creation to change what we desire to change, and eliminate what we don’t. Open your mind to the newness of life. God is Love and Loving You Right Now! (The Rev. Dr. Walt Sharer is minister at Bishop Church of Religious Science, located at 129 E. Line St., Bishop. Rev. Freda Lindsay and Rev. Walt officiate the weekly, Sunday services at 10 a.m. You can hear Rev. Walt’s message on “The Devotional Hour” on Sierra Wave KSRW 92.5 FM Sunday mornings at 8:30. The church can be reached at 760-873-4195 for more information.) Looking at what we can become in the New Year Last time we took a stroll through the Old Testament and found that God has been active all through history, not just once a year at Christmas. We saw Him taking the pulse beat of entire peoples. We saw Him doing the same with individuals, intimately, one at a time. We saw Him dealing with the actions of the past for both nations and individuals. We saw Him affect their present in dramatic ways. We saw Him deal with their futures through the words of His prophets. We saw Him read their hearts, their minds, their psyches. Most dramatic of all, as in the case of Gideon, we found that He is more than willing to see us as we can become, not necessarily as we are. That ability to see us as we can become is our bottom line at this time of year. For us, the New Year is a time of looking at where we were over the course of the fading old year, so we can figure out ways to do better during the next. For many, this results in a larger or smaller list of resolutions Philip Severi Columnist designed to fix what we see as the problems. That is all well and good. But are our own insights the best guide to the reformation we think we need? This writer would submit that we need not only our own insights, but those of God as well. Remember, when God’s angel found Gideon hiding in the well, it greeted him by saying he was a, “ … mighty man of God.” As his relationship with God took on depth and meaning Gideon became just that! However, that sure knowledge of us that God has goes much deeper than our own here and now. Psalm 139 lays it all out. “I thank you, High God – you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration – what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.” (Psalms 139:14-16, The Message) In other words, God not only knows who we are, intimately, but He also has known that from before we were ever born. Weave those threads! God knows us, more intimately than we can imagine. How He used the prophets over and over again in the Old Testament to warn people that their actions have consequences tells us He wants what is best for us most of all. Combine these ideas with what Christ did and taught us in the New Testament. Put it all together and see what you get. Here is a hint. The thief on the cross who called Christ, Lord, was told he would join Christ in Paradise. We can see that God is willing to give each of us a start-over, not a doover, but a start-over, no matter what we have done, even with death looming over us. God is in to beginnings, start-overs, at New Year’s or any other time. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am glad He is. I have needed a start-over more than once. How about you?

(760) 873-3535 www.inyoregister.com From the Pulpit Gold, frankincense and myrrh The Wisemen brought gold, frankincense and myrrh, which were kingly and most expensive gifts, to Jesus. What we need to grasp by faith is that the gifts Jesus gives to the world are eternally valuable. Jesus gives forgiveness, resurrection from the dead and a heavenly home apart from any merit in human beings. The gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh were likely used by Mary and Joseph when they fled the sword of Herod to Egypt. These gifts would have given earthly support to them as they lived in Egypt a few years, until wicked Herod died. Have not the gifts of Jesus supported us in our life and living? Daily breath, clothing, shoes, house, home, good weather, family friends, your baptism, your receiving the Lord’s Supper, your church, safe travel, a free nation and I’ll let you name a few more gifts you’ve cashed in for personal use. Herod was a wicked worshipper; he desired only the killing of the Kings of Kings. The Wisemen worshipped wisely, and wise men still seek Jesus for salvation. When we ignore worship, we fall into Herod’s camp. We have all been there! When we bow down and confess our sin before the Babe of Bethlehem with the Wisemen, God regards us as sinless, because the Savior has come! The Savior has come for you. He has come to relieve you of the guilt you daily bear. He has come with rich gifts of mercy, joy and peace of mind. He comes to hear your prayer and regard your worship. He comes with gifts that surpass all understanding. Gold, frankincense and myrrh testify to the work of Jesus for you. His gold of guaranteed heaven is yours. His frankincense (incense) is His perfect life rising to heaven in your place. The myrrh was used in burial and He is with you and the heavenly gift of eternal life is given to you. Three gifts given but a multitude our Savior has poured upon His dear children, who live by His grace alone. See you Sunday. (The Rev.

Don’t forget salt. Most Americans consume about a 1,000 milligrams of sodium over the amount recommended by nutrition and health experts. New research shows cooking with spices and herbs could help you ditch the salt shaker and meet sodium recommendations. Keeping a resolution to cut salt from your diet is easy. Use simple spice swaps to create tasty, low-sodium meals. From seasoning eggs with basil instead of salt to adding spices and herbs to no-salt tomato sauce, the McCormick Kitchens offer these easy tips and recipes to make low-sodium meals full of flavor: n Beat 1/8 teaspoon herb instead of salt into 2 eggs before scrambling. n Add oregano, garlic powder and red pepper to no-salt added tomato sauce for a tasty, low-sodium pasta dinner. n Try making Citrus Herbed Chicken with Asparagus, Fiesta Citrus Salmon or Tuscan Pasta. These dishes don’t call for any salt. Instead, they swap in basil, garlic powder and oregano. For more low-sodium tips and recipes – such as shaved vegetable salad with Italian herb vinaigrette – visit McCormick.com/recipes/low-sodium to keep your New Year’s resolutions on track. To see the full Anderson study, which examined the effects of a behavioral intervention that emphasized spice and herbs, and how it impacts sodium intake, visit McCormickScienceInstitute.com.

The Inyo Register 16 SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 2016 Options in dealing with disenfranchised daughter-in-law Dear Annie: I realize that this is a common issue, but I could still use some advice. When my son first married, his wife was loving and involved with the family. When the babies were born, we continued a warm relationship. Now that their children are older, however, our daughter-in-law is cold and distant, and she is not interested in interacting with our extended family. She grew up in a troubled family and seemed very happy to join ours. But not anymore. We live nearby and other than chance meetings, occasional help with the children and family holidays, we seldom see my son. We were told early on that we were not to visit unannounced, and we never have. If we didn’t attend the grandchildren’s school functions, we would never see them. It seems that our daughter-in-law just doesn’t like us and wants minimal contact. Are we asking too much? Are we living in the past? Is there anything that can be done to improve the situation? You’ve advised parents in our situation to find other interests. I think that if the young couples would imagine our situation in their own future, they might realize the extent of their hurtful behavior. – Crying Mother Dear Mother: You are right that this is, unfortunately, a problem that many parents have. We don’t know why your daughter-in-law is behav- that will bring you peace. KATHY & MARCY ing differently. She may have her own emotional issues that prevent her from having a healthy relationship with you. She may have been putting on a show for the past several years and doesn’t want to do it anymore. You may be behaving in a way that seems fine to you, but is annoying to her. You are not asking too much, but you might consider readjusting your expectations. Do not criticize or assign blame. That will only make the situation worse. You can ask your son whether there is something you can do to help smooth over the relationship, and then do it. You can see whether your son will bring the kids over without his wife so she can get a break and you can spend time with them. Or you can accept that this is how it is, being grateful that you get to see the family on holidays and at school events, and involving yourself in things Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Fed Up,” who objected to people with buckets asking for money to help send their kids’ ecology class to Honduras. As a teacher, I sponsored many clubs and teams. We did do outside fundraisers for charities where my students held buckets at the intersections in town and raised thousands of dollars. Although we didn’t bucket-beg for our own activities, I understand why they are so common now. With recent tax cuts, schools have less money for optional activities, such as band trips, choral productions and academic competitions. When you do a fundraiser through the school, like selling candy, the price of the item has to be inflated to allow a profit margin. With a bucket campaign, the group gets 100 percent of all donations. Your advice was good. If you don’t support the activity, keep your windows up and drive on by. –M Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The Mammoth Lakes Nordic Trail System at the California Welcome Center is open thanks to recent snow fall. File photo Sierra Sojourns Favorite hikes of 2015 What a great hiking year 2015 was, one of the best of my life. From car-camping in Yosemite over the summer to recent snowhikes in the beautiful Sierra Nevada, the memories of great adventures and magnificent scenery will live on forever. It’s extremely difficult to choose the “best” hikes of the year when every hike is special in its own right. Some hikes took me high up in the mountains to incredible jagged peaks, while others were merely wandering through sage and rabbit brush in the foothills. The history of our area is very interesting, from old mines perched high on mountainsides to roads once used more than 100 years ago. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter where you hike as long as you get out into this spectacular playground of ours and enjoy it to its fullest. Even though this is almost an impossible task, I’ve picked my top 10 hikes of 2015 with a brief description of that wonderful day on the trail, starting at Hike 10 and ending at Hike 6 this week. 10. “Refreshing hike in Sabrina Basin” Hiked on May 31, this was one of the first hikes of the year in the Sierra as my brother and I ventured out of Bishop to the amazing views in Sabrina Basin. We started out early on the path alongside the left side of the lake before turning left up a steep ravine and onto the shore of picturesque Blue Lake. On this day in May, it was still very cold with little snow cover, making for a perfect day. We had a great time hanging out at Blue Lake before continuing up the trail. At the next junction, we opted for Donkey Lake, and let me tell you, we weren’t disappointed. Shortly, we arrived at impressive Donkey Lake, in a granite basin surrounded by large boulders with lingering winter snow. This was our first hike together in 2015 and would lead to many memorable hikes with my brother the rest of the year. 9. “A whole different world above Convict Canyon” I set out solo on Sept. 25 northbound to Convict Lake to revisit one of the most colorful canyons on the east side. Although I’ve hiked up Convict Canyon a few times now, this one was extra special because of the beautiful fall colors accompanied by the cold, clear weather. Craig Jackson Columnist The parking lot at Convict that day was practically empty when I began my hike on that gorgeous fall day. The views that most see of Convict Lake are nice but the most dramatic scenery can be found every step taken up Convict Canyon. The breeze blew quite impressively as I crossed Convict Creek three miles from the trailhead and started up the great trail. Each side of the canyon provided breathtaking vistas as I pushed forward on the snow-free trail. Five miles from Convict Lake, I arrived at quiet Mildred Lake at the top of the canyon. Instead of continuing on up to Lake Dorothy, I decided to explore the high valley beyond Mildred Lake. It was another perfect day on the trail, followed by a great burger at Tom’s Place. 8. “Cascades, lakes, peaks and sheer beauty” It was still early in the summer when I decided to spend a day off on one of my most favorite trail on this side of the Mississippi. On June 13 I drove the short distance from Bishop to the parking lot at North Lake for a hike to Piute Pass. This trail offers maximum overload of sheer beauty, from the colorful Piute Crags near the beginning to the beautiful lakes mid-hike and finally the exceptional views from Piute Pass. At Loch Leven Lake, three miles from the trailhead, the first view of Piute Pass came into view and stayed with me the entire hike up to the pass. Since it was early in the summer, there was still nice streams coming down from mountain walls, pure paradise. When I reached the pass I took the short side trail up to Muriel Lake below impressive Muriel Peak. I vividly recall taking a short nap lakeside, under the warm sun. 7. “Three days, three hikes around Yosemite – Day 3” Fresh snow on the peaks across Duck Lake. This hike was on the last day of a three-day carcamping trip in eastern Yosemite with my brother on July 6. The Fourth of July weekend was excellent for hiking as we spent the first two days near Saddlebag Lake and Tioga Pass and chose a hike closer to US 395 for the final hoorah. We left our car-camping spot overlooking Mono Lake at sunrise and drove the short distance to the Gibbs Lake trailhead. It was our first time doing this hike and we were surprised to see no other cars. The hike began on a very old road through the trees, next to Gibbs Creek. When we arrived at Gibbs Lake, tired from tough hikes the previous two days, we decided to attempt the short, steep climb up to Kidney Lake. Hesitant at first, I must say I’m sure glad we did it. The vague trail followed Kidney Creek up, through forest cover into the upper basin. We emerged from the forest, followed the rocky ravine to aqua-colored Kidney Lake. Despite the cold, strong wind, we absolutely enjoyed our Whoa Nellie Deli sandwiches admiring the red rock background behind the aqua-colored lake. 6. “First snow of the year at Duck Pass” Photo by Craig Jackson Stunning Muriel Lake and Muriel Peak are a short hike from Piute Pass. Photo by Craig Jackson Fall was in full swing on Oct. 2, but it didn’t seem like it as I began my hike up to Duck Lake, from the trailhead in Mammoth Lakes basin. It was extremely cold at the beginning with fresh snow on the ground from a small storm the day before, nothing serious, just a couple of inches of fresh powder. At that point, I knew this hike would be special. The empty parking lot gave way to my fresh boot prints as I began up the path. The incredibly blue sky, along with the fresh white snow, made for great scenery for the first couple miles. From Barney Lake up to Duck Pass, the scene of Mammoth Lakes Basin and Mammoth Mountain made the time fly by. When I arrived at Duck Pass I was speechless. Beautiful white snow covered the entire area, from the lake shore to the jagged peaks above. It was another special day at a special place, not long forgotten. (Next week, Part 2.)

The Inyo Register 18 EASTERN SIERRA HISTORY SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 2016 The formation of Inyo County By the Eastern California Museum Inyo County is celebrating its 150th birthday in 2016. The following article relates how the county was formed in 1866, and was printed during the county’s centennial celebration. Of note is that original county boundaries looked far different, and much smaller than today’s Inyo County. Also, the California Legislature first approved legislation creating Inyo County in 1864. But the folks in Independence didn’t quite get the official notice so they had to wait until 1866 to form Inyo County. Originally, the county line ended north of Big Pine. It cost the county $12,000 to claim Bishop and the surrounding area from Mono County. The boundary along the Nevada/California state line also was a bit fuzzy, as was the boundary line to the south, which wasn’t finally and officially settled until the 1950s. Government records tell us that as early as 1849 the Mormons had hopes of ruling the lands far west of the Salt Lake, and that in March of that year they held a convention in Salt Lake City to organize the “State of Desert.” It was to include the present states of Utah, Arizona and Nevada, parts of Colorado and Oregon, and Southern California south of Santa Monica, eastward and northward through half of the counties of Kern and Tulare, then eastward across the Sierra Nevada. This took in the lands now in Inyo County and the counties to the north. California in forming its state boundary in 1850 ignored this prior claim, and the act admitting the state ratified the boundary just about as it is today. It may appear strange to us, but California’s boundaries were determined to some extent by anti-slavery and pro-slavery factions in the state’s Constitutional Convention, and the angling boundary line through unknown desert country, much of which has become the Inyo County line, was attributed to a compromise between contending views. When Tulare became a county in 1852, the greater part of what is now Inyo County was within its borders, and thus Tulare exercised some jurisdiction over the lands east of the Sierra Nevada to the Nevada Territorial Line from 1852 to 1866. A great mining boom brought the organization of Mono County on the north in 1861, its southern boundary reaching to Big Pine Creek. Encouraged by the success of the citizens of Mono County the people of the lower Owens River Valley presented a petition to the California State Legislature in 1864 asking that body to create a county south of Mono, the name of said county to be Monache with the county seat at San Carlos, the most thriving of several com munities. They asked that the northern boundary be just south of Mono Lake. That they were trespassing on Mono County did not appear to bother the agitators for the new county. The records do not indicate how the changes were made but when the Bill of 1864 went to the Legislature, the name of the county had been changed to “Coso,” the county seat to Bend City, and the northern boundary “down the middle of Big Pine Creek” then east to the Nevada line. The crest of the Sierra Nevada was the western boundary, the southern one a vague line that was supposed to be the old boundary of Tulare. The act to Courtesy Eastern California Museum create a county carried the date of June 6, 1864, as the date of the election of officers. Republicans and Democrats held their conventions and elected nominees for the general election, but due to poor communication and transportation among the scattered settlements, the proper information did not reach the commissioners who had been appointed to carry out the work of organization, and thus June 6, 1864, passed without an election being held. The bill passed the Legislature but since no arrangements had been made to change the date of the election, the whole matter went by default. Not discouraged the seeders memorialized the next Legislature and on February 17, 1866, J. E. Goodale introduced a bill to establish lnyo County; the newly laidout town of Independence to be the County seat; and the election to be held March 3, 1866. Remembering the problem of 1864, the commissioners, Thomas Goodale, Lyman Tuttle, L. F. Cooper, and W. A. Greenly, had written into the Act that if the election could not be held on the date designated by the commissioners, it might be held any time within a year as designated by them. It was well that this was done as the bill while encountering no difficulties, did not become a law until March 22, 1866, therefore the election could not have been held on the date mentioned in the Act. The boundaries of Inyo County were the same as for Coso County. Again Republicans and Democrats held conventions to select nominees for the election to be held later. That date is not given, but records do show that it was held in May of 1866. When the votes were counted it was found that John R. Hughes of Independence, C. D. Begole of Lone Pine, and John Westerville of Fish Springs had been elected to the Board of Supervisors for the new county. A full corps of county officers were elected but a number failed to qualify, and the next few months were taken up with the business of appointing men to fill the vacancies, or in holding local elections for Justices of the Peace. The towns of San Carlos and Bend City which had contended for the county seat in 1864 had not been considered this time as they were slowly being abandoned. Kearsarge City was the most populous of the communities and did ask to be considered but its mountainous terrain was against it, therefore it appeared wise to select Independence, a newly laidout town on the site of Putnam’s Cabin or Little Pine, which now had been surveyed, its streets and alleys named. The new Board of Supervisors met for the first time on May 31, 1866 and John R. Hughes was elected Chairman. They drew lots to determine the length of office of each. John Westerville drew the long term of three years, Charles D. Begole drew the two year term, and John R. Hughes the one year. At the second meeting, June 18, 1866, the Board ordered that the four Commissioners who had carried on the work of county organization leading up to the election, be paid fifty dollars each for the work. In September of 1866 the Board of Supervisors appointed two Commissioners, W. A. Greenly and L. F. Cooper, to meet a like number from Tulare County to determine whether Inyo County was indebted to Tulare County. Tulare appointed Pleasant Byrd and S. C. Brown as their representatives. Chalfant says that both the records of Inyo and Tulare are blank as to what came of the work of this committee, and that likely Tulare was glad to get rid of this great stretch of land over the Sierra Nevada because of the expense of trying to enforce any kind of law or jurisdiction. We do find in the minutes of the Inyo County Board of Supervisors of November 5-6, 1866, that they authorized warrants to the amount of four hundred dollars to be drawn to the two Commissioners to defray expenses, and that the Clerk was authorized to give the two men certificates of identity or of good faith, if they desired such. Again in the minutes of February 4, 1867, we find that the Commissioners made their report to the Inyo County Board of Supervisors, but no mention is made as to the contents of this report. A warrant was ordered at this same meeting to be paid to Auditor Shackleford of Tulare County for fifty dollars for work in abstracting. No further mention was made of this matter. Soon after the formation of Inyo County the people north of Big Pine Creek indicated they wanted to carry on their official business at Independence rather than Bridgeport. The reasons given that the distance was too great, and the severe winters prevented travel for a number of months. This desire on the part of the people in the upper Owens River Valley resulted in the introduction of a bill in the legislature which was approved and signed into law, March 28, 1870. This law changed the northern boundary of the County from the middle of Big Pine Creek to the line between Township five and six south of Mt. Diablo base line. In consideration of the transfer of this land, Inyo County promised to pay Mono County $12,000.00, payable $3,000.00 annually, beginning with January 1871. The Board of Supervisors of Inyo County referred only once to this transaction. On Monday, May 2, 1870, they ordered that in “addition to the tax now levied for County purposes, there be and is hereby levied the sum of 41 1/2 cents upon each one hundred dollars of assessed property within the County of Inyo, by virtue of an Act of the Legislature of the State of California, entitled an Act to define and establish the boundary line between the counties of Inyo and Mono, Approved March 28, 1870, and to be known as the Mono Debt. Fund’.” It was ordered also, “that the territory heretofore belonging to the County of Mono, and designated in said county as Township 1, be hereafter known and designated as Township 4 in and for the County of Inyo.” “Ordered that the above named Territory, and the same is attached to and forms part of Supervisorial District number 1, in and for the County of Inyo.” The above references made on May 2, 1870, are the only ones to be found in the minutes of the Inyo County Board of Supervisors, but each year in the County Budget the “Mono Debt Fund” would be listed and a tax rate set to raise the amount of the annual payment. The last of this debt was paid in January of 1875, making it appear as if the County of Inyo was one year in arrears. The exact location of the northern boundary was not clear until a survey was made by J. G. Thompson of This is the 3rd Inyo County Courthouse, which was completed in 1887 and cost approximately $11,000. Courtesy Eastern California Museum Mono County in l876. Prior to this some claims had been made by Mono County in the Round Valley area, and some resentment had arisen around Benton over the line. This survey by Thompson established the present boundary. The southern boundary had been a vague line since 1866, the old Tulare County boundary being accepted, but since this had never been surveyed, no one knew its exact location. In 1872 a survey established the line near where it is today. However through the years there remained a sort of “no man’s land” south of Tecopa, and running parallel with the San Bernardino boundary. People who lived in this area were always puzzled over the voting rights and were not too sure whether they lived in Inyo or in San Bernardino County. Finally the late Senator Charley Brown of Inyo County, official from the County, and the Senator of San Bernardino County got together in Sacramento and were successful in enacting a statute in the spring of 1957 that placed this “no man’s land” in Inyo County, and thus the southern boundary was amicably settled. While these were the last changes in the Inyo County boundary it did not end the agitation concerning the area. At various times the State of Nevada has memorialized the California legislature to change the boundary of the State so that all of Inyo County be transferred to the Silver State. They made this request as early as 1864, and various other times. In 1907 a resolution was adopted by the Nevada legislature asking the California legislature to submit to a vote of the people of Inyo, Mono, Alpine, and Modoc Counties, the question of ceding those counties to the State of Nevada. California has con tinued to ignore or accept as a jest all such requests. However, in 1907, had Inyo County had permission to vote on this matter, the vote might have been in the affirmative, considering the turmoil in the County at that time. Nevadans have always felt that the dividing line between their State and California was the backbone of the Sierra Nevada; and it is not unusual to hear the natives of this disputed area, remark, “We would be better off if we belonged to Nevada.” This is particularly true since the reapportionment of the Senate has taken place. Inyo County is the second largest county in the state of California, though its population is only 13,972 according to the special census taken recently. To make matters worse in this sparsely settled and far-flung territory, only 4.5 % of the land is assessable. This means that of the 6,548,000 acres in the county only 294,000 acres are taxable.

FDA is strengthening an existing warning in prescription drug labels and over-thecounter (OTC) Drug Facts labels to indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke, either of which can lead to death. Those serious side effects can occur as early as the first few weeks of using an NSAID, and the risk might rise the longer people take NSAIDs. (Although aspirin is also an NSAID, this revised warning doesn’t apply to aspirin.) The OTC drugs in this group are used for the temporary relief of pain and fever. The prescription drugs in this group are used to treat several kinds of arthritis and other painful conditions. Because many prescription and OTC medicines contain NSAIDs, consumers should avoid taking multiple remedies with the same active ingredient.
