Community honors advocate, volunteer, friend
By Kristina BlümRegister Staff
The community of Bishop lost one of its biggest advo-cates Monday evening as Sam Dean passed away in Carson City, Nev., after a courageous battle with cancer.
“Sam was a very generous man and helped others in need on a regular basis with-out being asked or needing any recognition,” said Suzie Wolfersberger, chief executive officer for the Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fair. “Sam’s smil-ing face will be missed.”
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 11, at the Neighborhood Church, with a reception to follow.
There was hardly any com-munity events or projects in which Dean was not involved. He was a board member for the Tri-County Fair for 20 years, a Mule Days board member since the event’s beginning, a member of the Bishop Lions Club and was part of the Advocates for Access to Public Lands.
One of Dean’s most recent projects was helping to build the Dick Noles Memorial Fountain in the Bishop City Park, which was completed last summer.
Dean never hesitated to volunteer for every event held

County urges residents to continue to clear ditches, culverts to keep water flowingBy Terrance VestalManaging Editor
Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze at a board of supervi-sors meeting Tuesday said area agencies continue to work together in preparation of spring run-off flooding that is expected to be such that has not been seen in decades.
Because of the historic snowpack this winter, which has been likened to the record-setting years of 1969 and 1983, potential flooding during the spring and sum-mer could threaten lives and infrastructure.
The group of agencies, or the “unified command,” Lutze further explained on Wednesday, includes Inyo County, the city of Bishop, all of the Owens Valley tribes, fire departments throughout the valley, the Air Pollution Control District, Los Angeles Department of Water and

Tours and exhibits planned for every interest
By Kristina BlümRegister Staff
It’s time to grab the cam-era and hiking boots for the sixth annual Alabama Hills Day, which will take place Saturday and Sunday in Lone Pine.
The Alabama Hills Stewardship Group has been hard at work planning a jam-packed weekend with a vari-ety of tours, talks and all kinds of outdoor fun on the agenda.
On Saturday, there will be more than 40 exhibits set up in the Interagency Visitor Center south of Lone Pine, including books from many of the different interest groups and stakeholders that are involved in the Alabama Hills. The exhibits will be set up from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.
All of the tours will start from the Interagency Visitors Center.
Throughout the day Saturday there will be several
hikes and tours through the hills, ranging in topics from birding, to “Bugs and Blooms,” to geology and film history.
Mike Prather, along with the Friends of the Inyo, will lead an Audubon tour of the hills and surrounding area in what Alabama Hills Stewardship Group board member Jeff Mahoney described as “a great preview for the Owens Lake Bird Festival,” which will take place April 29-30.
Back for the second year, the Junior Explorers hike will lead young adventurers – and the young at heart if not in body – through the natural mazes, caves and crevices of the hills. The tour was kid tested and approved with two dusty thumbs up last year, and Mahoney, who led the tour, said he will be changing the route up a bit this year to make it even better.
“Although it’s geared towards the younger age group, anyone who enjoys exploring – and crawling, squeezing, climbing and scrambling – will have a blast,” Mahoney said. “Unless you’re claustrophobic, acro-

Toiyabe Indian Health Project’s Community Wellness Program is excited to announce a ribbon cutting and inaugural bike ride for the Eastside Bike Share Program on Friday, April 14, at noon at the new Toiyabe Bishop Clinic
located at 250 See Vee Lane. The Eastside Bike Share will
have 20 cruiser bikes available at two stations for community members to check out and ride around town on errands or for recreation. One station will be located at the Toiyabe Bishop Clinic and the second station will be located at the Bishop City Park.
The Eastside Bike Share is sponsored by the Toiyabe Community Wellness Program, which receives grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, to promote physi-cal activity and boost health and wellness throughout the community. Thank you to the City of Bishop for partnering with us on this project to host a station at the Bishop City Park.
Each bike has a unique number that riders enter into the free Zagster mobile app to obtain a single-use code to open the lockbox on the back of the bike. After the rider returns the bike to one of the stations, the rental ends and the bike is available for the
next person to enjoy. The cruiser bikes are sturdy bikes that can be easily ridden around town and along canal trails. The bike includes a large basket that’s perfect for carrying groceries, takeout, or personal belongings. And because rider safety is a prior-ity, every bike has automatic lights, a bell, full reflectors, and a helmet.
The Community Wellness Program works to create healthier communities by making healthy living easier and more affordable where
people work, live, learn and play. The Community Wellness Program promotes health and wellness with com-munity-based strategies that focus on active living and healthy eating through part-nerships with local agencies, organizations, and groups that share the vision of healthy communities in the Eastern Sierra.

Turner has been a fixture in the department for more than 30 years
Register Staff
Jean Turner, longtime director of Inyo County Health and Human Services, has announced she will be retiring in June after three decades with the department. She has served as HHS direc-tor for the past 14 years.
Turner started her career with Inyo County in 1986 after vacationing in the area and deciding to relocate when the same position she held in another county – child wel-fare worker – opened up in the Inyo County Health and Human Services Department. She was soon promoted to a supervisor position and, by

Throwback Thursday
Fishermen’s friendJoe Gaddis moved to Bishop in 1954 after owning restaurants in Phoenix, Ariz., and Elko, Nev. Gaddis first leased and operated the Travelodge Cafe located at the corner of Main and Elm streets, which later became the Hancock Station, and is now Giggle Springs. During the late 1950s, he leased the Sportsman’s Cafe, which he and his wife, Jay, operated until his death in 1960. The Sportsman’s Cafe, which was where the Holiday Inn is now, was the “happening” place during the opening of fishing season. It was open all night and they would make sack lunches for the fishermen; giving them a place for breakfast and a last cup of coffee before they set out. Gaddis was an avid hunter and fisherman and was a well-known figure about town.

DEANContinued from front page at the fairgrounds, Wolfersberger said.
She credited Dean with nurturing what has become a close-knit partnership between Mule Days and the Tri-County Fair as organiza-tions. When the going got rough, Dean was the first to take the reins and help the fair pull through the chal-lenges.
She said he even stopped by the fair office once or twice a week just to see how things were going and check to see if the staff needed anything.
“Sam had a sweet tooth and never passed up the opportunity to check out the candy bowl,” Wolfersberger said. “He would let us know we were falling down on our jobs if the candy bowl was running low.”
Jim Tatum, current admin-istrator for the city of Bishop and former CEO at the fair-grounds, worked with Dean extensively over the years. He described Dean as a highly intelligent, kind-hearted per-son who loved the fair-grounds, loved his communi-ty, had a vast knowledge of local history and had some amazing fishing stories.
“I have an unmeasurable amount of respect for him, both as a friend and as a boss,” Tatum said, reminisc-ing about the 17 years he spent working for the fair-grounds while Dean was on the board. “He had such incredible character. He always saw the very best in people and was willing to
work with anyone and take on any cause. He was a tremen-dous individual who knew how to bring people togeth-er.”
Tatum said Dean was one of the few people on the planet who spent as much time as Tatum did at the fair-grounds. Dean was involved in much of the design and underground work at the fair-grounds, including most of the plumbing at the facility, Tatum said.
Through his involvement with Mule Days, Dean helped build the Mule Days office and the announcer’s booth in the main arena at the fair-grounds and he helped level the fields used for RV parking during Mule Days.
“For more than 40 consec-utive years, Sam Dean remained a steadfast volun-teer for Bishop Mule Days,” said Mule Days Executive Director Tammy Mandrell. “Mule Days and the commu-nity at large deeply feel the loss of Sam Dean.”
Mandrell shared with The Inyo Register a story of how, in 2008, Dean was asked what his favorite memory of Mule Days was. He replied, “Everything has been so satis-fying it would be hard to pick just one, no one thing has been more fun or more satis-fying than another. I have always looked at Mule Days as a really good thing for the entire community, our largest event, and has proven to be important to the community, especially the business com-munity. I’m just real pleased
to be a part of it.” As a member of the Bishop
Lions Club, Dean was instru-mental in the Lions District 4-L 1 Eye-Mobile project. In addition to acquiring the sec-ond Eye-Mobile unit used by the Lions Club from Inyo County for $1, he did most of the work to renovate it him-self, as well as most of the work on the third unit, which went into service about five years ago, said Wayne Hoffmeyer, current president of the Eye-Mobile project.
“His knowledge and lead-ership skills serving eye care helped many, many commu-nities in southern California, including Death Valley,” Hoffmeyer said. “Without Lion Sam Dean, the Eye-Mobiles of District 4-L 1 would
not have existed. He was a born leader who knew how to get things done at the right price.”
Bishop Lions Club member Ken Lloyd, who worked along-side Dean in countless Lions projects, said Dean was vol-unteering right up until the end.
Dean worked in the old food trailer used by the club, jumping right in as soon as he joined the Bishop Lions Club in 1984. When the club built the food booth that stands in food alley today, Dean “prac-tically built the whole build-ing,” Lloyd said.
Dean also worked on all seven of the accessible fishing docks built by the club, as well as many of the wheel-chair ramps built at area resi-
dences. Dean served in numerous
roles in the club throughout his tenure with the Lions. He also was Lion of the Year and received a Melvin Jones Fellowship, which Lloyd described as the highest honor ever bestowed on a Lion.
In addition to his countless community pursuits, Dean also served as the Inyo County District Three supervisor, from 1990-1994, according to the Inyo County Clerk Recorder’s office, and served on the Bishop City Council.
To list all of his contribu-tions to the Eastern Sierra would be impossible, but all agreed, Sam Dean will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
fLOODINGContinued from front page Power, Southern California Edison, Caltrans and the state’s Office of Emergency Services.
The sheriff said the agen-cies having been meeting every two weeks so officials can update each other as far as what they are seeing and what concerns they might have.
“We want to make sure people are talking and ensure everyone has the equipment that they need, such as back-
hoes, sandbags, sand and crews,” Lutze said.
Lutze said residents need to inspect and keep clear any ditches, culverts, streams or ponds on their property.
These can get clogged again after a windstorm so the should be continually monitored.
“We just don’t want to see them get clogged and back up, inadvertently causing more flooding than there would have been,” Lutz said.
Clint Quilter, Inyo County
Public Works director, said that is what his crews are doing throughout the county.
“We are making sure cul-verts and other structures are clear,” Quilter said.
While protecting infra-structure is a priority, Lutze said the upmost concern is public safety.
“You can always replace infrastructure,” he said, “but you can’t replace people.”
Anglers and others enjoy-ing the outdoors need to keep water safety first and fore-
most in the minds, Lutze said.
Because of the historic level of water in the Owens River, its banks are being under-mined and could collapse and an individual could find him or herself in the river.
“And that water is moving extremely fast,” Lutze said. “You want to keep your eyes on your children and your pets as well.”
The river was moving at 714.4 cubic feet per second out of Pleasant Valley
Wednesday morning, accord-ing to the LADWP website.
At its meeting Tuesday, the board of supervisors voted to continue a resolution pro-claiming the emergency named the “Here it Comes Emergency.”
Jarett Coons, of Sierra Mountain Trout Guide Service, who was born in Bishop, said he has never seen the Owens River at 700 cfs.
“During a normal year, whatever that is, its about 300 to 400 cfs,” Coons said.
TURNERContinued from front page 1991, was named assistant director of the entire depart-ment. The county board of supervisors appointed Turner as HHS director in September 2003.
The current board of super-visors has enjoyed similar confidence in Turner and her ability to lead the largest and most complex department within the Inyo County gov-ernment. The board congratu-lates Turner on a well-deserved retirement and exceptional career and also recognizes there will be some big shoes to fill in HHS.
“Jean embodies what a public servant is all about in dedicating her life to helping others improve their own,” Board Chairman and Fourth District Supervisor Mark Tillemans said. “A director who both manages effectively and works in the trenches with staff is someone who is difficult to replace and she will be sorely missed. Her retirement is well earned and we hope she’s able to enjoy it to the fullest.”
The county will undertake
a nationwide recruitment for a new Health and Human Services Director beginning later this month.
As HHS Director, Turner currently oversees a staff that hovers at around 135 full- and part-time employees and is responsible for approximately 13 offices, clinics and senior centers from Tecopa to Bishop, which are operated under the auspices of five separate divi-sions: Behavioral Health, Public Health and Prevention, Social Services, First 5 and
Eastern Sierra Area Agency on Aging.
Through these divisions and numerous local, state and federal programs, HHS admin-isters a wide array of services throughout the second largest county in California, including but certainly not limited to flu shot clinics and HIV testing, foster care and WIC (Women, Infants and Children), adult and child protective services, senior center lunches and advocacy for the elderly, employment and public assis-tance, and substance abuse and mental health counseling.
Turner has herself worked in the trenches for almost 31 years to help deliver these services, in addition to over-seeing the small army respon-sible for the social, mental and physical welfare of thousands of residents – something that has earned her much respect and admiration.
She also has earned praise for her ability to navigate the Department through the ever-shifting policies, funding silos, political landscapes and scien-tific research that often mean radically adjusting if not alto-
gether changing entire pro-gram structures and methods of service delivery.
“There are so many gifts Jean has brought to the coun-ty – her knowledge and experi-ence combined with a brain-power matched by few,” said HHS Assistant Director Marilyn Mann. “Jean is a woman of integrity, honesty and intelli-gence. Jean has this incredible ability to see the big picture issues on a broad scale and be able to connect the dots as it relates to the impact on our local community. She then takes that information and translates it into local policy and direction that not only helps ensure the highest qual-ity of service to the public, but does so in a manner that is efficient and fiscally sound. These are the qualities I so admire about Jean in the work setting. However, what means more to me is the gifts Jean has brought to me personal-ly. She has been a caring and supportive friend to many in our workforce including me. I will truly miss working for and with Jean.”
The same admiration and
gratitude holds true for many of the supervisors and staff in HHS, for whom Turner has ample praise herself.
“One of the things that eases my mind about retiring is I’m leaving behind a great team,” Turner said. “They’re talented, they’ve got integrity and an appropriate amount of righteous indignation when someone within the organiza-tion is not living up to accept-ed standards. These are peo-ple who take seriously the mission of their jobs – people who are passionate about the services they provide – and they want to get it right.”
Come June, Turner will be turning her focus from public service to her family and friends, playing “tour guide” to several visitors already lined up, spending more time with her son and his family, and visiting her 90-year-old mother on the East Coast.
She has no plans to the leave the area.
“These mountains are what drew me here to start with 31 years ago. As long as my body is able, I’ll be enjoying those mountains as long as I can.”

LETTERS AND TOP Of THE mORNINg POLICy
What the h-word happened?By Gary lake
Recently in our House of Representatives we saw Republicans working franti-cally to push into law their Affordable Care Act/ObamaCare “replacement bill,” and they failed to even reach a vote. (This result, after seven years of plan-ning?) Instead, knowing it wouldn’t pass, the Republican leadership chose to pull the bill from the floor to avoid further humil-iation. Their failure begs the question: Why is health care in America so complicated? And the answer is … because the Republican Party, its Congress and the “special interests” in our capitalist economy … want it that way. Complicated. But does it need to be? No. Yet, by winning the election Trump has made health care even more complicated because, although he ran as a Republican, he isn’t really a Republican – in reality he has no consistent ideologi-cal philosophy. He looks at issues and determines how they can serve his purpose-of-the-moment and adjusts his philosophy accordingly. One of his major “adjust-ments,” manifested as “health care for everybody.” And it became a campaign promise as he pursued the
Republican Party nomina-tion and successfully cam-paigned against Hillary Clinton. Just days before his inauguration the president-elect said the following in an interview with Washington Post reporters Robert Costa and Amy Goldstein. “We’re going to have insurance for every-body. There was a philoso-phy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” He has made that “everybody” com-mitment many times over the past 20 months. But did he mean it then and does he now? Or was it just one of his “fake” promises? The voters who put him in the White House thought him sincere, and the several times I saw him say it I thought so too.
In 1972, Richard M. Nixon, an exemplary anti-communist of his day, shocked his Republican Party, the Democratic Party and the entire world by traveling to the People’s Republic of China where he began normalizing relation between our two nations that had been at odds for 25 years. At the time many felt that only a fervent anti-communist like Nixon could pull off a political and his-torical coup such as this –
certainly not anyone from the Left. And he did. The phrase “Only Nixon could go to China” became a met-aphor for uncharacteristic, unexpected and daring action by a politician. Nixon referred to his China visit as “the week that changed the world.” It has since become a significant and positive part of his legacy. Maybe there’s a object lesson there for our current president. Might President Trump, in all his cleverness, see our need as his opportunity?
Could President Trump pull off something like this for America’s health care, something analogous to Nixon’s China coup? A bold political move only he could pursue that would replace ObamaCare – his most ardent desire – yet serve his commitment to bring health care to “everybody.” (Two
birds with one plan.) Please don’t give me the old pie-in-the-sky argument. Donald Trump is truly a unique individual, in a unique posi-tion, who recognizes no allegiance to anyone but himself. Certainly the Republican Party couldn’t, wouldn’t, attempt anything like this … but Trump could. And, if you’ve been paying attention, the idea of universal health care is now deeply implanted in the American psyche, it’s here to stay, and no matter their ideology, politicians under-stand that.
When asked, Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, said there was no Plan-B for their failed American Health Care Act. But of course there will be. Here’s my rec-ipe for what we might call … TrumpCare.
Ingredients: President Trump calls a special ses-sion of Congress, both House and Senate, and makes a carefully written speech essentially saying: “If a country cares about it people, and America does, then it logically follows that it must also care about their health care, and now is the time to make that commit-ment and make it happen.” The core of the speech would make all the relevant arguments in support of
universal health care, end-ing with two requests: that each member of Congress publicly make known his or her commitment on the issue – yea or nay – and that every voter contact her or his representatives and voice their preference as well. President Trump would then tramp and stump his way around the country making his case, pursuing his “art of the deal,” the kind of thing he loves to do … and many think he’s good at. Then, an appropriate bipartisan plan-ning committee would be formed, and their work debated and voted into law.
This plan would, of course, set a lot of hair on fire amongst far-right Republicans. But President Trump, anomalous and independent as he is, sits in the White House with the veto pen in hand, which gives him a lot of interest-ing and powerful cards to play. But if it’s presented well, with proper exposure and debate, I think this plan, TrumpCare, could be supported by every Democrat and a majority of Republicans … and could become a bipartisan victory for all Americans. Think about it, everybody gets health care, Trump gets his brand-name enhanced,
Republicans are finally rec-ognized as compassionate, and Obama becomes The Father of Healthcare in America. Anyway, that’s my fantasy … and don’t you think it has a nice ending – glory enough for all?
But, no matter where health care in America goes, or how long it takes to get there, or what we choose to call it, eventually it must cover “everybody.” Former Supreme Court Justice, Stewart Potter, put it best: “Fairness is what justice really is.” As a campaigner, Donald Trump understood this and made his commit-ment. Congressional Republicans, if they would take the time to listen to their constituents, will clear-ly see the need as well, and make the “everybody” com-mitment. Every other indus-trialized nation on the plan-et has met this need, and we should join them.
If President Trump were able to pull this off – TrumpCare – it would be a bigger deal than Nixon going to China and guaran-tee him an enviable legacy.

Civil matter should not be described as ‘genocide’
I was very disturbed when I saw the photo on the front page (March 23) with the woman holding up the sign about genocide. She obviously has no idea what genocide is. Merriam-Webster defines genocide as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.” I’m pretty sure that destruction means death. There is no way that a lack of “irrigation water” is going to destroy the tribe.
They have drinking water and access to food. They can go to Carroll’s or Vons. They can use their tap water to water their gardens like most people in Bishop or Big Pine do. I am not aware that they were a major producer of agricultural products for themselves or the val-ley as a whole, were they self-suffi-cient before the pipe problem?
How is it that anyone can equate a civil dispute with genocide? This behavior minimizes the experience of all those that have died from genocide in the past and those that are still suffering. What a way to cheapen the pain of your ances-tors.
The sign-holder is showing a complete lack of respect for people who have been victims of genocide
and their survivors. This is like comparing your stubbed toe to an amputee. I have a relative who was murdered in Auschwitz and that was genocide.
I do not want to comment on the dispute between the Big Pine tribe and LADWP, that is a civil matter, that has now apparently been set-tled anyway. I am sure it has been very upsetting and inconvenient for the tribal members. I have problems with my irrigation water also, and it is very frustrating, but it is not genocide.
Sincerely,
Joann LijekBishop
Letter writer provides sweet irony
A second letter in the 23 March edition of The Inyo Register (“A question to those who supported Trump”) provides the reader with dose of presumably unintended irony.
The letter uses scare tactics to address how we would feel if we were downstream from the Kingston Plant in Tennessee. It’s frightening stuff, to be sure. The letter purports that if the govern-ment was more in charge of things,
this dreadful accident could have been prevented.
I don’t think so. After all, the Kingston Plant is part of the Tennessee Valley Authority and is owned by the United States gov-ernment.
Just like the EPA polluting the Animas River in Colorado one has to ask, who’s looking out for whom?

DAYContinued from front page phobic and/or petrophobic.”
New this year is the Geology and Natural History Tour led by Dave Kirk. Tour attendees will learn some of the geological tales of the area on a short walk through the corridors, crags and natu-ral arches of the hills.
Inyo County Film Commissioner Chris Langley will lead a movie and film his-tory tour that will focus on many of the more recent film projects that have taken place in the hills – plus a few sur-prises, Mahoney said.
The fun will continue on Sunday with a stewardship project to help with vegeta-tion restoration and trail improvement. The Bureau of Land Management will pro-vide the tools, trash bags and drinks.
After the work, there will be a hike from the trail work area to the Alabama Hills kiosk at the start of the trail on Whitney Portal Road.
“It’s about a two-mile hike, and mostly downhill,” Mahoney said. “The new trail goes through some areas that a lot of people have never
seen.” Each year, the Alabama
Hills Stewardship Group hosts the event, which is a celebration of all the activi-ties that take place in the Alabama Hills region west of Lone Pine, which include climbing, hiking, biking, off-roading, horseback riding and filming, just to name a few.
For more information and a complete schedule of tours and events, visit alabamahills stewardshipgroup.org or visit the group’s Facebook page linked on their website.

BADGE BYLINEThe following is a compilation of
information taken from the daily ac-tivities logs at the Bishop Police De-partment and the Bishop and Lone Pine Inyo County Sheriff’s depart-ments. Since most cases have yet to be adjudicated, all charges should be considered allegations.

unknown direction. Sheriff’s of-fice tried to help but he refused any local veterans services.
10:53 a.m. – The report-ing party wished to report a sexual assault and child abuse that had occurred six years ago. Since the crimes had occurred in the county, PD referred call to sheriff’s office. Deputies took a report.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Dear Annie: My husband of 44 years passed away from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. I cared for him at home for years. He was 79 when he passed away; I was 71. We were extremely close and had a wonderful life together.
Sometime after my hus-band’s passing, a friend whom I had dated in high school got in touch with me. He asked whether he could drive over for a short visit. I finally consented. He is
divorced and has two chil-dren. We became friends again, and he visited again. He called, texted and was very attentive overall. I met his children and visited with them.
But then he wouldn’t call for days, even though he said he would. When I didn’t hear, I was genuinely con-cerned. Eventually, I found out he was drinking. As time passed, his behavior changed. He became critical of little things, insinuating
that he liked me better when I didn’t have my glasses on or commenting that he noticed that my arthritis caused me not to get around as well, etc.
In the meantime, he had a mini stroke, fell and broke his ribs, and fell off his four-wheeler and broke his hip. He also ended up in the hos-pital twice last year because of his drinking. He told me that he loved me and always would.
One day, he told me he
was beginning to feel smoth-ered by our relationship and felt it was best we not talk so much. I was shocked. I had given him a Bible and devo-tional books and invested time in him hoping he would get his life straightened out.
He wants to keep staying in contact. It makes me uncomfortable, and I feel that he lies often, as I have caught him in several lies. He said he didn’t want to lose me. I think he is narcis-sistic and thinks it’s fine to call when he wants to, and I don’t think he wants to have to be there for me when I want to talk. I see a pattern with him. He does it to oth-ers, too.
I can’t believe I didn’t see what type of person he is. What can I do to get myself out of the slump I am in? I have had other men invite me to go places, but I have no desire to date.
I did see a counselor for a while, but she has retired. She used to say he’s “a drunk” who won’t get any
better until he does some-thing about his drinking.
I do have many friends and am fortunate, although lately, I have withdrawn from others. I know this is not good or normal. What do you suggest?
– Feeling Guilty and Remorseful
Dear Feeling: Until he gets his life straightened out, this man is not fit to be any-one’s romantic partner – especially not yours, as you
seem to have the type of personality to want to care for and fix broken people. Though that desire is admi-rable in and of itself, it steps perfectly in time with the dance of addiction. You always rescue him, and he always gives you more res-cue missions. That you’re withdrawing from others is a sign of codependence. You need to quit the relationship cold turkey.
Force yourself to spend time with friends, even if you don’t feel like it yet. If counseling was helpful to you, find a new counselor. The good news is that you seem to have a handle on the situation already. Now you just need to start steering.

No-good relationship
When the planet of lessons reverses, the lessons may start to seem repetitive. But aren’t all the best lessons that way? “I’m sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.” – Angus Young of AC/DC
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What if you just do what’s easy for you? The thing you’re struggling against will drift away. You’ll find out that some of the drama in your life was totally unnecessary. There’s a lot that just isn’t your battle to fight.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll find a partner, and then you’ll find another. Which is best? Why do you need just one? Both will do. Two partners will be best in this instance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Solving the problem will be better than escaping it. A fellow air sign will be your best ally in this endeavor. Air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is a mysterious world inside of you. The one who recognizes that you are no ordinary person, that there is a special and complicated puzzle in you that can never be solved – this person will capture your heart.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is it a waste of time to be organized? No one will pay you or award you for it. Yet being organized is a huge benefit. It helps you think better and be bet-ter. You won’t regret today’s organiza-tional efforts.
VIRGO: You know how people are. Give ‘em the same stuff and they will find radically different ways of interpreting it. It’s essential that you find your own interpretation. No one else’s will fit.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The words “I love you” can mean all kinds of things, most commonly today, “Let’s get off the phone.” Your sensi-tivity to the meaning behind the words will steer you well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The world is your playground.
Playgrounds are not inherently excit-ing, though. They need people on them to be of interest. Of course, if nothing is fun, it’s not the thing; it’s you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone knows that diversity makes the group stronger. If you are different from the rest, they need you. And don’t try to attract people who think like you. You’ll be better for the challenge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve done a lot of believing in the strengths and competence of others. It’s about time you thought about your own might. Your competencies are real. Believe.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People have a tendency to adjust their values to fit their behavior. Maybe both are out of whack. You’ll look at your situation with more com-passion and try to find a frame that fits.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Give two people the exact same information and each will react radi-cally differently. This is why you stock your life with a bunch of different friends from varied backgrounds. You want a global view of things.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 6). You’ll gravitate toward creative people this year, and you’ll find a group of friends that really supports you there.
Attractive people will decorate your life in the next 10 weeks. The change next month will take some adjusting to, but you’ll get there and be happier for the process. Solve a problem at work; make a ton of money in July. Taurus and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 22, 21 and 13.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Understand it from the other person’s side and you’ll be a winner of love. TAURUS: Lighten up, choose a role, and have some fun with it. GEMINI: Your best friend is the one who will tell you if you have some-thing in your teeth. CANCER: It’s your choice: Play the hero or the villain. LEO: Give until it hurts. That’s the point in which the giving is enough. VIRGO: The call to travel will be strong, and if you ask friends, many will join. LIBRA: The organization is the issue. To establish a pattern, that’s the main thing. SCORPIO: Your smile will make the difference. Attitude is all inside a smile. SAGITTARIUS: You do one thing because you can’t do another. Are the people around you too limiting? CAPRICORN: The strangeness of a situation will also be its most appealing quality. AQUARIUS: The normal flow of things may be suddenly very difficult for you to accept. PISCES: Wondrous suggestions will fit you. Any compli-ment that drifts your way – wear it!
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aries and Virgo are the strange cou-pling of the weekend, and these two could not be more adept at finding something to criticize in one another. Criticism is both the enemy and the indicator of love, as it’s impossible to hit a nerve unless you know where those nerves are. The intimate knowl-edge of what makes a person tick is the same knowledge of what makes a person love.

Durability is one reason homeowners choose natural stone for their kitchens and bathrooms, but the greatest appeal is often the sheer beauty of the
material. Maintaining that luster and shine requires a bit of effort, but the ability to enjoy the unique character of natural stone makes it all worthwhile.
It’s important to understand the shine on granite and other natural stone is not from applying a wax, but a natural shine that reflects a rigorous process.
After being quarried from the earth’s surface, these stone blocks are taken to a factory for processing. The next step is a polishing line. It’s this factory finish that enhances the inherent characteristics of natural stone – the veins, swirls and crystals. From there the slabs are bundled and shipped to local stone manufacturers and installers to be cut to a homeowner’s specifications.
Once installed, you can maintain that luxurious factory finish with these tips from the experts at Granite Gold.
Clean often. Even miniscule particles could have a detrimental effect on your natural stone. However, it’s important to avoid common cleaners and abrasives as they can break down the protective seal and dull the natural finish, and result in expensive repairs. Also avoid using an abrasive scrubbing pad, which may leave
unsightly scratches. Rely on scrubbing pads designed specifically for natural stone or look for “non-scratch” on the packaging.
Seal frequently. Frequently sealing natural stone surfaces maintains maximum surface protection, penetrating stone surfaces to provide superior, long-lasting resistance to staining, etching and soil buildup. It’s easy to test when to reseal. Pour water (about 3 inches in diameter) on the surface and let it sit for 30 minutes. If the water beads, then the stone remains sealed. However, if a dark mark or ring is created by the water, it is time to reseal. Be sure to repair any etching or stains before the sealant is applied.
Polish regularly. Polishing not only brings out the stone’s natural beauty, it reinforces the protective seal and provides ongoing protection against water spots and fingerprints. One time-saving but effective solution after sealing is Granite Gold Clean & Shine, which provides the cleaning power of the line’s Daily Cleaner and the luster from the Polish in one easy-to-use formula.

Don’t Lose Your Natural Stone’s Luster
Make Spring Cleaning a CinchFAMILY FEATURES
Spring is a time of renewal and revitalization, but it’s hard to appreciate all the invigorating aspects of spring when your home still bears months of winter dust and dirt. Tackle your living space room-by-room for a spring clean that will leave you and
your home refreshed and ready for a new season.
KitchenAlthough the kitchen is likely the room that gets the most cleaning attention, there are probably still areas for spring improvements. Cabinets and countertops make the biggest impression in your kitchen, so give them a thorough wipe-down, adding polish to the woodwork and natural stone, and repair any chips or damaged spots. Make your appliances look new again by wiping down and scrubbing hard-to-reach and heavy-use areas like the top of the refrigerator and the stovetop. They may not be immediately visible, but don’t overlook the inside of your cupboards. Discard expired food, damaged items and wayward pieces, such as lids with no matching container and vice versa. Finish off the kitchen with sweeping and mopping for squeaky clean floors.
Living AreasThroughout the house, your biggest chore may be removing clutter. Finding storage solutions or new homes for accumulated items can make rooms seem instantly brighter and more welcoming. Dusting the blinds, lighting fixtures and fans can add a fresh touch, and clean baseboards make for a top-to-bottom clean. Vacuum cushions as well as under and behind all furniture, and if necessary, consider shampooing the carpets. Dust all the nooks and crannies, including any decorative items and accessories.
BedroomsThe closet is a good starting point in the bedroom. Sort your clothes and discard any you haven’t worn in the past year; these can be donated. Also check for any items that need repair and set them aside to mend when you take a cleaning break. This is also a good time to put away winter clothing and bring out your spring and summer attire. Additionally, you may find it helpful to add organization and storage containers to help control items like shoes, handbags and other accessories. As temperatures rise, your bedding needs will change, as well. Wash and put away blankets you won’t need until the weather turns cool again. Flip and rotate your mattress for longer wear before you add fresh, lightweight sheets. While the mattress is raised, you can take advantage of access under the bed to run the vacuum. A fresh new pillow will add the final refreshing touch to your spring-ready bed. Before you leave the bedroom, don’t forget to pull dressers and other furniture away from the walls to vacuum, dust each item thoroughly and wipe down baseboards and blinds or shutters.
Once all your cleaning is complete, take a few extra steps to make your home feel extra fresh and clean. On a warm day, throw open the windows to let the fresh breeze chase away stale winter air and add lightly scented candles throughout the house for a home that smells as inviting as it looks.

“The Boss Baby”
Good news, everyone: “The Boss Baby” isn’t as bad as the advertising makes it seem. Frankly it would be hard to be that bad. I was expecting 97 minutes of painful, low-brow baby jokes mixed with tired corporate stereotypes left over from the 80s.
Some people thought the movie might be redeemed with political satire, since Alec Baldwin voices the Boss Baby and he has recently taken to playing America’s most iconic boss, but this movie was completed long before any Trump jokes could be worked in. No, the movie has to rely on other ideas to redeem itself, and a few of them actually succeed. A few.
Seven-year-old Tim Templeton (Miles Bakshi) lives an idyllic life with his parents (Lisa Kudrow and
Jimmy Kimmel), but his world gets turned upside down with the arrival of his little broth-er, the otherwise-unnamed Boss Baby. Immediately some-thing seems off about the newborn. Some of it is just baby stuff that Tim has to learn to accept, but some of it is strange even by baby stan-dards. He arrives unaccompa-
nied in a taxi, he keeps the family awake all night, he wears a suit (fortunately the necktie is just a fabrication, more on that later), he takes the parents’ attention away from Tim, and he’s a spy from a corporation that sup-plies all the babies in the world.
There’s a surprisingly intri-cate plot to this movie, but basically the Boss Baby is an adult with the body of a baby who was sent to Earth to stop evil puppy manufacturer Francis Francis (Steve Buscemi) from unleashing the world’s cutest puppy to the masses. Supposedly adults will love the puppy more than babies, and this will lead to the depletion of the human race. Boss Baby doesn’t have much luck recruiting other babies for the mission, but Tim is willing, provided Boss Baby goes back to BabyCorp afterwards and lets him have
his parents all to himself again. Adventure, hijinks, bonding and life lessons ensue.
Almost everything that happens in the movie is ridic-ulous, and the reason is that it’s a story being told by an adult version of Tim (Tobey Maguire).
It’s established that Tim has an overactive imagina-tion, hence the obvious embellishment.
But the movie makes you think that it’s taking one approach to the narrative when it’s actually taking another, and I liked the first one more.
The “real” version negates the whole story and it basical-ly means that all the growing and learning that Tim does throughout the movie doesn’t count.
But at least it means that the parents didn’t do fright-fully irresponsible things like
give the baby a necktie (I never could get past that detail).
I was really dreading the humor of “The Boss Baby,” and make no mistake, there are a lot of dumb gross-out gags. But about five minutes in, I laughed at something. And then again at ten min-utes.
And then maybe at a cre-ative action sequence around the 15-20 minute mark. The movie’s strength is that it goes for so many types of gags and at such frequency that something is bound to work.
If you can enjoy the baby humor, that’s great, but there’s also wordplay, prat-falls, deadpan, jokes for adults that will go over kids’ heads, and when all else fails, Elvis.
There’s a little something for everybody in “The Boss Baby,” but I have to empha-
size “a little.” This movie probably isn’t worth seeking out if you have no interest in it. But if you feel obligated to see it, say, if your kids want to go, then go with them. There’s more to this movie than you think, though much of it is exactly what you expect.
Two popcorn boxes out of five.
“The Boss Baby” is rated PG for some mild rude humor. Its running time is 97 min-utes.

A little something for everyone in ’Baby Boss’
Inyo Film Journal No. 349
Inyo County has an ‘Ace in the Hole’By Chris Langley
Eastern California Film Historian
The love of movies must be in the dirt of Inyo, the genes of many residents, and money in our economy because homegrown things are happening here. At the moment the focus is on Big Pine. Stainless Productions, the brainchild and artistic vision of Jesse Steele, life-long resident of Big Pine, announces the completion of its Western “Ace in the Hole.” I saw it earlier this week and it was impressive technically, engaging and entertaining. More about that later.
Steele, actor, director, producer and film dreamer, and Manuel Ruiz, writer, producer, actor and direc-tor, of Lone Pine, but now Big Pine, are collaborating on making films. As one who has observed the pro-cess, I can say, “It isn’t easy.” But both men have the passion, the inspiration and the drive to always be honing their technical skills to persevere and succeed.
Now they are also envi-sioning a movie sound stage on the Big Pine Reservation. The building is owned by the Economic Development Corporation of Big Pine. Earlier this week, Jesse who is the talkative one, and Manuel, the taciturn one, took me on a tour. The building has not been used for nearly 15 years except for storage, but appears to be in excellent shape.
As we walked along the cavernous interior, Jesse narrated, “here will be a green room … here will be a white room … here will be an area to manufacture props … here sets can be built and set up.” He contin-ued, “here is the reception-ist desk, here is Mariah David’s office …. Here is Kris Hohag’s … here is mine and here Manny’s …” The building seemed perfect, waiting to be transformed into a “movieland.” Now they have gotten the go-ahead to develop the sound stage.
The building has been christened Ohobu Studio. I will continue to follow this story in this column.
Now back to “Ace.” I had seen the trailer a while ago and it was excellent. Sometimes trailers are the best thing about films. This is not the case. This film tells the story of Ace, played by Jesse Steele in a role very different from his many comic portrayals you may have seen. So good is his characterization that he seems even physically dif-ferent.
He is dislikable, even repellent at times as he plays cards with the Miner by Michael Dostrow. Dostrow is equally excellent in his role, a nuanced per-formance of a Western char-acter that is pivotal in the action. Finally, Laura Whiteside takes on in some
ways the more challenging role. She often is in the background and has a graphic scene, which is cho-reographed beautifully, but makes the film not one for youngsters. She also is part of the startling reveal at the end.
Several other experienced regional actors in the film are Jim Shallcross as Capt. Barlow, Dave Goto as Clay, Manuel Ruiz as Billy Hernandez and Mark Steele as Eddy “The Sharpe” Blunt. Director Steele directs these actors beautifully. He was assisted in directing by Manuel Ruiz and Mark Steele. “I don’t think I will act and direct at the same time again,” Steele pro-claims. His cast and crew are probably breathing a sigh of relief.
Jesse wrote the script, inspired in part by a German story he heard, and by the fact that because of Playhouse 395’s production of “Hello Dolly” that there were a lot of period cos-tumes available to this and a previous film still in post-production called “Starvation.”
The writer chose some great names for the Western working girls: Suzannah (Jessica Ainscough), Aphrodite (Natalie Shallcross), Long Limbs Lenore (Amy Cutright), Pittsburgh Nelle (Tammy Varnum), Fresh Faced Fanny (Zoey Walter), Sheriff Whitehat (Rebecca Evans), Marshal Black Hat (Elizabeth Evans), and Ranger Brown Hat (Janet Titus).
As well as fulfilling many duties and positions, young filmmakers need to perform a lot of technical jobs: art director, editor, sound recording and editing, ward-robe, make-up, lighting and script supervision. It is a long list but everything was done well beyond adequate-ly.
I do want to point out the costume design by Kayla Barton, the music composi-tions by Jason Fernandez and the stunt coordinator, and horse wrangling by Rebecca Evans were all excellent considering what a small budget was available. I expect we’ll be hearing much more from Jason Fernandez. The editing and pacing by Jesse Steele also was exceptional, a place where lesser young produc-tions fall down.
Locations are used effec-tively. We see many famous Western film areas, but fas-cinating is the shack used. Jess explained, “That was Grandpa’s shack that is right behind this house in Big Pine.” Lighting and sound are always a chal-lenge and here again these were very well done. Steve Dutcher stepped in to com-plete the film as director of photography. The film took two years to make and the matching was so good it seemed to have been filmed consecutively over a week’s time.
I know it is frustrating to read about a film you haven’t seen, but your chances will come.
They will be making the rounds at film festivals and intend to have a local pre-mier. The next project appears to be a feature farce written by Manuel Ruiz, in a departure from his Western and “Tarantinoesque” shtick. Its working title is “The Exs of the Apocalypse” about a man trapped with several ex-wives during the apoca-lypse. Lots of laughs there Manuel Ruiz promises.

I once sat in a room with several fly fishermen includ-ing two fly fishing dignitaries, Lefty Kreh and Lee Wulff. Someone in the group asked the question what do you con-sider the definition of fly fish-ing? After some discussion, the answer was given, fishing a dry fly upstream to a rising trout. It was unanimously decided that this was the defi-nition most people used, but was very limiting to what fly fishing really was. This took place over 30 years ago.
Today fly fishing is so much more than just fishing for trout with a dry fly. Nymphing has become the most successful approach to fly fishing for trout. Fly fish-ers are pursuing any sport fish. Trout, tuna, halibut, perch, corbina, bone fish, bass, blue gill, catfish and carp are just a few of the spe-cies actively pursued by fly
fishers.Carp are found in Eastern
Sierra waters and pursued by anglers. Fly fishing for carp has gained in popularity and is pursued by fly fishers in the Sierras. It is the opportunity to sight fish to the quarry and hook up large fish that makes fly fishing for carp exciting.
I only got out once last season to pursue carp with the fly rod. This year I’ve been out twice and finally hooked up with several carp. This fish requires the angler to hunt them. Walking the mud flats of a still water, fly fishers look for carp. Most of the time is spent peering into muddy water that looks like coffee with lots of cream in it. What you see most of the time is a swirl in the mud that is a carp that you’ve just spooked. I was starting to think carp were like snipe, I could see signs of them, but I’ve never
actually seen a carp.Well that changed for me
the last time I was fly fishing for carp. Wading the still water looking for signs of carp is what we’ve been doing. Local fly fishing guide and carp expert Jarett Coons fished with fellow guides Ardie Wagoner, Tyler Smith and
myself. Jarett kept up a pretty brisk pace just wading and looking for fish. A few puffs of mud identified spooked carp, but the group never saw any concentrations of carp.
After a short break the group minus Jarett headed to the shallow mud flats to look for more carp. Within a hun-dred yard of leaving the shore line I started seeing lots of mud swirls. I decided to stand right where I was and watch what was happening. In a few short minutes the outline of a carp appeared out of the mud-stained water not more than 10 feet from my position. I stood still watching the carp. As it swam away from me I made a couple of casts in front of the carp then strip-ping in my flies. I finally spot-ted a carp and knew they were not some mystical creature.
I found a spot on the mud flats that had some current
from the river entering the still water. I spotted a couple of carp and just stayed sta-tionary observing the water. Down current from me I noticed a dark patch of water that was broken on the sur-face. As I watched this patch get closer I could identify a shoal of carp 20 to 30 fish strong. I let them swim past me then made a strategic cast ahead of and to the left of the shoal. This allowed me to strip the fly right through the shoal. I repeated this with several shoals and managed to hook up a few carp.
On a five weight these fish are a handful. Having 100 yards of backing on your reel would be a minimum. I had one carp take me down to the end of my fly line. These are fun big fish to fight and will teach a fly fisher how to fight big fish if they have not encountered large fish previ-
ously. It took 10 to 15 min-utes per fish to land. Only fighting a few carp wore me out. These fish are a worthy adversary.
Trout fishing is my first love and will continue to be. Having a chance to chase carp will continue to provide the excitement of sight fishing to a large adversary. My new quest is to land a carp more than 15 pounds.
