Once we have made those arrangements, we will move forward with fundraising and grant applications.” Stater said once the property has been acquired, the board will begin the construction process, with hopes of opening the museum within a few years. The property that the group hopes to acquire is located adjacent to the TriCounty Fairgrounds, right on Highway 395. With negotiations in progress, the volunteers organizing the museum will host a kick-off fundraiser Friday. The party will be held from 3 - 6 p.m. at the Serventi Villa, 187 E. Line St. All proceeds from this initial fundraiser will go towards the museum’s capital fund. Western appetizers will be served along with the signature Sierra Mule drink. Tickets are $25 each.

File photo for over half the time they’ve been doing Mule Days and I love it.” Tallman announced his first rodeo in 1970. He announced his first National Finals Rodeo in Los Vegas in 1975. Somewhere in that mix, he came to Bishop and fell in love with Mule days. “Bob has been one of our biggest supporters and has done as much, if not more than anyone to promote Mule Days throughout the equine industry,” Underwood said. “Bob is definitely a great friend of Mule Days.” “I love Bishop, I love Mule Days, and I love mules,” Tallman said. “I love it because it is outside the box and totally different from anything else I do.” Tallman said that for the size of Bishop’s population, See voiCe E Page MW2-6 voiCe Bob Tallman, Rodeo announcer Punkintown coming to Bishop Rodeo clown and stand-up comedian Frankie ‘Punkintown’ Smith coming to Mule Days By Kristina Blüm Register Staff Frankie “Punkintown” Smith will be delighting the crowd during Mule Days. “What he brings to the show is something totally different,” Mule Days President Rich Underwood said. “He interacts with the crowd and does acts that are unusual. He is another one of us who has fallen in love with mules, so much so that he has incorporated a mule in his main acts.” “We’re used to rodeo,” Punkintown said. “But Mule Days is the highlight of my year because it is all about mules.” In the three or four years that Punkintown has been coming to Mule Days, he has grown to love mules. “The human perception is that they are dumb but they are actually the smartest animals I have ever seen,” Punkintown said. “Once you earn their trust, there is nothing in the world they wouldn’t do for you.” The first year Punkintown came to Mule Days, he said he fell in love with the heart of the mule. Inspired by the mule’s inelegance and gentle personality, he purchased Minnie Pearl from Bobby Tanner. Minnie Pearl was part of the 20 Mule Team. “I didn’t choose her, she chose me,” Punkintown said. “Of all the mules there, she just came right over to me.” Minnie Pear was born only 30 miles from Punkintown’s Tennessee home but they found each other right here in Bishop. Punkintown said he brought Minnie Pearl back to Tennessee and built a special platform that fits on her back, inspired by packing gear. He then trained her to let him do his clogging dance on the platform attached to her back. Clogging, Punkintown explained, is a form of, “old mountain tap dancing.” Punkintown won the clogging world championship in 1984, and can dance with a cup of water on his head - while dancing on the back of Minnie Pearl. “Minnie Pearl and me built a strong bond, second to none between an animal and a man,” Punkintown said. Punkintown preforms at more than 100 rodeos and events annually. After his visit to Bishop Mule Days, Punkintown will be journeying to Fairfield, Alaska, to participate in the Rodeo Alaska. “Mule Days is so unique because everyone in the mule-loving family knows what it takes to get a mule to work for you,” Punkintown said. “Everyone here under See PunkinToWn E Page MW2-6 By Kristina Blüm Register Staff Mule Days is the single largest event that happens in Bishop each year. However, it is a community event, helping raise funds for non-profits and youth organizations. Each year, Mule Days contracts various services with local organizations, who are then able to use the funds for their ongoing projects. Here are a few of the many organizations and volunteer groups that benefit from the event each year. Boy Scout Troop 82 of Lone Pine and the Inyo Mono 4-H Council help with the distribution of the Mule Days magazines and other activities around the fairgrounds. The Bishop Union High School baseball team takes care of all the logistics in the Charles Brown Auditorium, arranging chairs and tables for each of the events held in the auditorium. Always champions when it comes to yardage, the Bishop Union High School football team is responsible for striping all of the RV lots for the many campers who come to Mule Days. The football team also is responsible for providing potable water to the RV campers. Bishop Union High School’s volleyball and softball teams carry the banners seen in the Mule Days parade each year.

BIOLOGY • Mules are not a species but a hybrid between two species, a horse and a donkey. • A mule is a mix between a stallion donkey, called a jack, and a mare horse, while hinnies are a stallion horse crossed with a donkey jennet. • Different breeds of horses can produce different types of mules, including draft mules, riding mules and medium pack-sized animals. • Animals that have a mule as a mother are called foal. • There has not been any cases of a john fathering a foal • Even though mules and hinnies are fully developed they are almost always sterile because they have an odd number of chromosomes. • There have only been a few substantiated cases of mules giving birth in the last quarter century. These cases happened in Morocco in 1984, China in 1988, and in Colbran, Colo. in 2007. • Since 1527 when records started being kept on the subject there have only been about 60 reported cases of mules giving birth. • A misconception is that mules are stubborn compared to horses, but really they are smarter and will not do anything that will put them in danger. • Mules have a strong sense of self-preservation. • The mule has greater endurance and is less excitable than a horse. • A miniature mule is 50 inches in height or smaller. • A mule’s head is larger than a horse its same size. • On average, a mule lives 30 to 40 years. • The noise a mule makes is a cross between a horse’s winnie and a donkey’s bray. Most mules make a noise like “whinee-aw ah aw.” • A mule can only bray while exhaling while a donkey can bray while exhaling or inhaling. • A mule can scent water from more than a mile away. • On average, mules live longer and take less maintenance than a horse. • Mules are more sure-footed than horses, partly because their bodies are narrower than horses their same size. Mules get the narrow body from the donkey side of the family. Also, the mule’s hoofs are smaller and their legs are stronger. • A mule is pound-forpound stronger than a horse of similar size. • The median weight range for a mule is between 800 and 1,000 pounds. • Mules are better highjumpers than horses; because of this mules participate in an event called Coon Hunter’s Jump. It stems from when raccoon hunters would take their mules hunting in the woods and came across a wire fence that couldn’t be taking down. The hunters would put a blanket on the fence so the mules could jump over it. In competition, mules jump a single rail that increases in height. The mule who jumps the highest fence cleanly wins. • Mules 50 inches tall at the withers can jump a 72 inch fence • Mules rarely overeat. TERMINOLOGY • Sometimes male mules are called johns and mule mares are called mollies. The proper term for a male mule is horse mule, while a female mule is a mare mule. • A mule skinner is someone who drives mules. HISTORY • In ancient Rome and Greece mules, instead of horses, were used for light transportation. • Ancient Romans and Greeks ate mules. • In Medieval Europe, mules were the preferred riding animals for clergy and gentlemen. • In 1495, Christopher Columbus brought four jacks and two mares to the New World. Columbus’ jacks and mares would produce mules that were used by the conquistador’s expeditions onto the American mainland. • Ten years after the conquest of the Aztecs, 12 mares and two jacks arrived from Cuba to begin breeding in Mexico. • Along the frontier, each Spanish outpost had to breed its own supply of mules • Each hacienda or mission had at least one stud jack. • On the Iberian Peninsula, the cities of Cantalonia and Andalucia each produced a large breed of ass that put Spain at the forefront of mule breeding. • Until 1813, exportation of Spanish jacks was prohibited. But in 1785 an exception was made when the king of Spain presented George Washington with a large black jack called “Royal Gift.” “Royal Gift” is said to be the father of the U.S. mule industry • The main mule breeding centers in the U.S. were in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri. The mules were used as work animal in the cotton fields in the Old South. • Since the Revolutionary War, mules have been critical to the effort to feed and supply America’s fighting men. • Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant preferred to ride a mule. • After the Civil War, mules were still a big part of U.S. agriculture as tenant farming became popular in the South. • Mules were once used to pull fire-fighting equipment and in armies to pull artillery and remove the wounded from the battlefield. • In early western towns, the streets were wide so mule teams could turn around. • Mules helped lay the 162 miles of the Death Valley trail. The mules traveled 16-18 miles in 136-degree weather in the summer. • Twenty mule teams originated in Death Valley in the 1880s when an increased demand for borax caused borax manufactures to find the safest way to get their product out of Death Valley. A mule skinner named Ed Stiles thought of hooking two, 10-mule teams together to form a 100-foot long 20-mule team • The 20 Mule Team symbol became the trademark of the Pacific Coast Borax Company. • Mules were put to good use throughout World War II and helped to cut the infamous Burma Road, one of the most dangerous and challenging war construction efforts ever undertaken. • Mules are still used today by soldiers in Afghanistan to pack water, ammunition, weapons and medical supplies. ON THE SCREEN • Francis the Talking Mule, who stared in seven movies from 1950-57, including “Francis in the Navy” and “Francis goes to West Point,” was awarded the Humane Society’s very first Patsy Award. The Patsy Award is given for best performance by an animal in a movie. • Arthur Lubin, the producer of the Francis movies, went on to create the “Mister Ed” TV series. • The name of Festus’ mule on “Gunsmoke” was Ruth. • One of Hollywood’s most overlooked success stories comes from “Mousey” the mule, who went from pack mule to TV series regular almost overnight during the 1970s. She made her first appearance as background filler in “Stay Away, Joe” with Elvis Presley, followed by a bit part on a “Lassie” episode and use in a packstring on a John Wayne special. She was later used to work cattle in the series “Quest,” starring Tim Matheson and Kurt Russell, but it wasn’t until 1981 that her big break came with being cast as a regular on “Bret Maverick,” starring James Garner. Mousey appeared in almost every episode and was ridden by actor Stuart Margolin who portrayed the con-artist Indian scout, Philo Sandine. She can still be seen in the movie version of the two-hour season opener of the show which is often released as “Maverick – Legend of the Lazy Ace.” Mousey also had a connection to Bishop: in 1976 she won Overall Reserve Championship at Mule Days.

The Inyo Register THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2016 MW2-5 From mule skinner fun-day to international event Mule Days celebration birthed from a big snow year By Jon Klusmire Register Corespondent (This story was originally published in May of 2005. Herb London passed away in March 2011. Bob Tanner passed away in December 2015. –Editor) The snow was still belly deep on a 16-hand tall mule in the spring of 1970, and that was just in camp. In the high country, it was even deeper. The Lone Pine Stampede Rodeo had gone belly up, closing down the valley’s traditional outlet for letting off some winter steam and getting ready for summer. So what’s a mule packer supposed to do when he and his mules are snowed out of the high country and there’s no cowboy fun to be had in the low country? How about taking the mules down to Bishop and putting on a show for the townsfolk over Memorial Day Weekend? That “horrible winter” of 1969-70 and a lack of memorable Memorial Day events were two main factors that led a group of local mule packers, who were also pretty sharp salesmen and community boosters, to get together and put on a one-day mule show called, appropriately, Mule Day. Now, 46 shows later, that simple idea has turned into a multi-day mule showcase and extravaganza that has made Bishop the “Mule Capitol of the World,” complete with the world-renowned Mule Days Parade, which has grown to become the longest nonmotorized parade in the world. Every year, visitors usually wonder how such a large, wellorganized and nationally known event got started. The best way to tell the story about the beginnings of Mule Days is to hear the tale straight from the mule-skinners’ mouths. Three of the original founding fathers – Bob Tanner, Herb London and Bob Dillon – shared their memories and a few laughs back in the spring of 2005 when discussing how the whole shebang got started. After bringing up the subject of how they are among the “founders of Mule Days,” it didn’t take long for all three to downplay their individual roles and contributions to getting the event off the ground. According to them, it was a pretty simple idea that hit at the right time and after the first few Mule Day events, the thing took on a life of its own as the entire community pitched in and propelled the event into the world-famous celebration it has become. First off, the group of Founding Fathers was a group of eight (now known as the “Magnificent Eight”): Tanner, Dillon, London, Dudley Boothe, Orville Houghton, Wilfred Partridge, Leo Porterfield, Art Schober and Roland Christensen. Tanner remembered the winter of 1969-70, which was one of the “biggest snow years of the century,” he said. The Sierra is used to snow, but that year “it came all at once” and just stayed and stayed. “It was pretty wild,” Tanner said, with cars buried, and some even lost in snow drifts all over Mammoth Lakes and the high country pretty much sealed off from pack trips. Back then there were plenty of pack outfits and “we knew what kind of fun we had in camp with mules,” so a bunch of the packers thought, since they wouldn’t be packing any time soon, it might be fun to head down to Bishop with their mules and put on a little show, Tanner said. London, another packer, added that the demise of the Lone Pine Stampede Rodeo left the valley without a Memorial Day celebration, for locals or visitors. That blank spot on the fun calendar was something local businesses were seeking to fill, with the Bishop Chamber of Commerce and the local hotel association both looking at a way to boost business over Memorial Day. “We saw an opening and took it on,” said London matter-offactly. Meanwhile, over at the Chamber of Commerce, efforts at a Memorial Day fishing derby had met with “marginal success,” said Dillon, who was the first paid director of the chamber, “and we were looking for something else.” All three men said Leo Porterfield played a key role in convincing the non-mule lovers that Bishop would be a great place to do “something to honor the mule and its role in the Sierra,” said Dillon. Dillon said he knew the history but, not being a “mule or horse guy” wasn’t sure about the allure of the noble mule. The hardy animals’ place in the nation’s history, and especially in the West, was secure. Locally, the mule had become a symbol of the expanding Western frontier, thanks to the famous 20-mule teams that hauled borax out of Death Valley. The mule was also the critical creature in the exploration of the Sierra. The high, rugged country wasn’t made for vehicles, even before the advent of Wilderness Areas, but mules seem to have been made for it. Almost everything that happened in the Sierra, from exploring to mining to building towns and camps, happened with the help of the mule. Mules, whether pulling wagons or loaded individually, packed in equipment and supplies, hauled out timber and ore, and carried the hearty souls who first explored and settled the Sierra. After that first Mule Day, Dillon said he was surprised to realize that there were mule lovers and mule owners from all over the nation who were more than willing to come to a celebration of all things mule. Looking further back at our nation’s history, it’s not so surprising that the mule had left its hoof prints all over the entire nation. At various times in our history, the “West” was the Ohio Valley and Georgia, then the Great Plains and the Rockies. As the nation expanded, the mule was there, pulling a plow turning over fertile farmland for corn in the north, cotton in the south. As a sod-buster, the mule ruled on the Plains, thanks to its stamina and strength. In the Rockies, like in the Sierra, the mule and his little companion, the burro, transported gold and silver miners looking for the mother lode, then brought wagons full of supplies and essentials to the high-altitude mining camps and towns that sprung up to outfit miners and process their ore. Then there’s that special type of mule, “an army mule.” Whenever mules are praised – “that’s one tough mule” – a sure way to add a little umph to the accolade to ensure there’s no doubt about the praise is to add the army connection – “he’s tougher than an Army mule.” Ever since the Revolutionary War, mules have not only been critical to the effort to feed and supply fighting men, but have also been linked to two of the nation’s greatest generals. George Washington is credited with helping promote mule breeding in America. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant preferred to ride a mule during his Civil War days, and it seems the animal and general had plenty in common. Both were unpretentious, tenacious, unyielding and never shied away from the tough tasks at hand. Up through World War II, when mules helped cut the infamous Burma Road, one of the most dangerous and challenging war construction efforts ever undertaken, the Army mule proved his mettle alongside our nation’s fighting men. After the war, the use of mules declined as tractors and bulldozers took over many of their traditional chores, but there was still one thing, packing into the county, in one place, the Eastern Sierra, where the mule reigned supreme. While Tanner and London said they never expected the little, one-day mule show they put together in 1969 to grow to a national and even international hit, Dillon said he had an inkling that the packers and Bishop were onto something unique after the first few years. Dillon said the chamber sent out its usual media mailings to promote the event and national horse magazines and publications about the West wrote up Mule Day and “spread interest far and wide.” In fact, for a number of the early years, Dillon said that locals didn’t really know what to make of the whole show, because so many people from across California and the nation were joining the local packers to participate in the events. London said in the early days, “it was a camaraderie sort of thing” between packers “and just something to do.” It was a unique event at the right time of year for the packers, agreed Tanner, and there were plenty of packers at that time, so they embraced the concept. It didn’t take too long, though, for the community to embrace and enlarge on the idea, Tanner noted. And therein lies the secret to the event’s ongoing success, along with a little creative “salesmanship.” Tanner noted that “everyone loves a winner,” so as the event kept growing, so did the number of “World Champion” horseshoers, packers and just about anything else the locals could think up. Now, about two dozen folks leave Mule Days as “World Champions,” not to mention the second, third and fourth place finishers. “It was a great job of salesmanship,” Tanner said, “it was creating something out of nothing,” and that sales job included just declaring that Bishop was the Mule Capitol of the World. “People bought it,” Tanner chuckled. Of course, the unique events during Mule Days helped, too, such as the packing scramble and all the other traditional “horse” events, from English jumping to barrel racing, performed by mules. The community “bought it,” too, and in a big way, noted all three men. One of the critical decisions about Mule Days was to stress the use of volunteers. Now, hundreds of local volunteers and dozens of service and civic clubs, bunches of high school sports teams and groups and just about every other community organization is not only involved in Mule Days, but counts on the event as a major fund-raiser. “It’s been fascinating to watch the event grow and transform itself from a day of fun for mule skinners into a nationally known event,” Tanner said. “It worked out to be a community event,” and “a good old country fair, where everyone can participate,” he noted. Each year from the start the event was a success (London pointed out Mule Days has never had to rely on any donations from Inyo County or the city of Bishop), and each year the Mule Days committee focussed on making the event even more fun and more successful. Now, more than four decades later, Tanner noted that Mule Days is “a winner.” And everyone loves a winner.

In 2004, Tallman was inducted into the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo. He has received the Announcer of the Year award six times, and in 2007, was inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[7]. He is almost always the main announcer for the National Finals Rodeo each year. Tallman also is a huge supporter of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Children’s Cancer Hospital, through his 501 C-3 non-profit organization, Bob Tallman Charities, which is dedicated to helping gight the battle against childhood cancer. And after 40 some years, Bob continues to be a spark of enthusiasm and patriotism as the Voice of Mule Days. “There is a burst of new energy and lots of big things happening in Bishop because of Mule Days,” Tallman said. “People come from coast to coast and stay for ten days.” “Mule Days is one of the many equine events that Bob works, but he always has time for us,” Underwood said. “He always makes himself available, and he is just one of the best people that Mule Days has ever had.” museum Continued from front page RSVP to Linda Arcularius, (760) 937-2486.

Chief Nursing Officer Kathy Decker, who served at NIHD for almost four years, is leaving the facility as of May 20. Tracy Aspel, who oversees four different nursing divisions, will serve as acting chief nursing officer. Aspel is best known to the community for her years of service as the director of nursing for the Rural Health Clinic. A nationwide search for a qualified permanent chief nursing officer is underway and estimated to take three to four months. Decker, a traveling nurse executive, will return to her home in Nebraska before resuming her career at another health care facility. “Kathy has served us very well,” said Dr. Kevin S. Flanigan, chief executive officer of NIHD. Listing Decker’s many achievements, Flanigan noted the role Decker played in encouraging many of NIHD’s nurses to continue their education and ultimately offer improved patient care to the community. “I would tell you that in and of itself is Kathy’s great- est achievement,” he said. “Her engagement will have a lasting effect on our communities.” NIHD also is welcoming Raychel Hosch, new director of Rehabilitative Services. Hosch comes to Bishop from New Mexico. With only a few days on the job, Hosch told the trustees she already feels she knows what challenges face her and what the positive aspects of the department are. “I see a lot of potential for growth and a lot of things we can accomplish together,” Hosch said. Dr. Mark Robinson, NIHD’s chief of staff, announced the election of Dr. Allison Robinson to the post of chief of surgery. Dr. Allison Robinson, a retired Navy cap- tain, is double board certified in general surgery with specialization in colon and rectal surgery. Previously, she served as a staff surgeon at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Trustees also were presented a reading of a lengthy list of employees who completed educational degrees and programs.

Photo by Barbara Laughon/Northern Inyo Healthcare District Northern Inyo Hospital Auxiliary installs new officers Organization logs almost 7,000 volunteer hours in last operational year Register Staff With more than 6,600 volunteer hours logged for operational year 2015-16, the Northern Inyo Hospital Auxiliary began a new year of service May 11 with the installation of its 2016-17 officers. Judy Fratella will serve as auxiliary president with Richard Rogers installed as vice president. Sharon Moore will be the group’s treasurer with Cathy Bahm serving as recording secretary and Carole Sample serving as corresponding secretary. Carrie Petersen, chief of Fiscal Services for Northern Inyo Healthcare District, swore the new officers’ slate into their respective posts. Petersen thanked the auxiliary for its many years of gracious service to the health care district and noted a continued need for the group’s support. “Northern Inyo would not have many of the advancements it has today without the tireless efforts of the auxiliary members,” Petersen said. “Our team thanks you for all you do and we look forward to continuing to work side by side to improve our communities, one life at a time.” Several auxiliary members were honored for devoted service during the installation luncheon. Among those honored were Bert Johnson for her contribution of 14,000 lifetime hours of service; Sharon Moore for 13,500 hours; Nona Jones, 9,000 hours; Judy Fratella, 5,500 hours; Sharon Thompson, 3,500 hours; Shirley Stone, 2,500 hours; Vivian Mitchel, 2,000 hours; Addie Zaragosa, 1,500 hours; Betty Anziano, Cathy Bahm and Carole Sample, 1,000 hours each; Aleta London, Richard Rogers and Cheryl Underhill, 500 hours each; and Betty Buckle and John Underhill, 100 hours each. The purpose of the NIH Auxiliary is to render service to the hospital and its patients through ways approved or proposed by the Governing Board of the Northern Inyo Healthcare District. Founded in the early 1960s, the auxiliary began tracking its volunteer hours in 1982. Since that time, Northern Inyo Hospital Auxiliary members gave 189,185 volunteer hours and $506,144.36 toward equipment donations for the hospital. Equipment purchases offset by auxiliary donations include the Emergency Department’s Ultrasound machine, the Automated Breast Ultrasound machine, which allows early detection of breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue, and a mini Immunoassay Analyzer, which increased the hospital’s ability to quickly diagnose and treat bacterial infections. The auxiliary raises its funds through its hospital gift shop sales, its annual Fall Yard Sale and through its popular Holiday Craft Boutique.

Same old stuff with not a lot of changes in their bodies. This may not be as bad as it seems. The American College of Sports Medicine puts exercise in three stages. 1. The initial stage: The initial stage is where people decide they want to change their overall well being. They begin an exercise program and at first it is hard to get use to. It takes time to get it off the ground and to make it a habit. The A.C.S.M. states this stage takes a couple of months. 2. The improvement stage: The improvement stage is where the exercise gets a little easier, and people have settled into the routine of regular exercise. They have also experienced some changes in their physiques. The A.C.S.M. states this stage last four to six months. 3. The maintenance stage: The last phase is the maintenance phase and this is where individuals can get through Stuck in a rut their programs fairly efficiently and their programs have become a habit. This hopefully will last a life time. The problem lies in the maintenance stage. This is where people feel the rut. For most people maintenance also is called a plateau. They feel they have reached the plateau and have stopped improving. This too is not so bad. Maintaining your program is wonderful because you are keeping yourself fit and healthy. You are able to get through the day without undue fatigue and are preventing many diseases. Your program is a part of your life just like going to work everyday and taking care of your responsibilities. OK, so you feel stuck in a rut and want to make some changes. First of all, how much time do you have to put into your program? If your time won’t allow additional training this will be difficult. However, you can change things up a bit. If you traditionally get your cardio on Two Bristlecone 4-H members to give presentation at state 4-H finals Experience teaches students how to research, practice public speaking Register Staff Aubrey Wilson and Kimberlin Alderman, both 12 year old members of the Bristlecone 4-H Club, have qualified to give a demonstration at the 2016 California State 4-H Field Day in Davis. Their demonstration, titled, “Long Tails are Baaa’d,” shows how to properly and safely dock, or shorten, a lamb’s tail. To qualify for the State Field Day, the girls had to give their demonstration first at the Inyo/Mono County Field Day and then at the Sectional Field Day last month, receiving Gold Seals on both presentations. Aubrey and Kim will travel to the University of California, Davis on May 28 to compete with 4-H members across the state. Both girls will show lambs at the Tri-County Fair Junior Livestock Show in July. Two additional members strongly represented Bristlecone 4-H and Inyo/Mono Counties in the Sectional Field Day Competition in Fresno. Mahdi Ahman, 12, gave a prepared speech titled “What should the presidential candidates be addressing at election” and expertly answered tough questions, according to a spectator. Avery Wilson, 10, offered an impressive science demonstration titled “Eggcellent Under Pressure.” The speeches and demonstrations that are central to the 4-H Field Day experience emphasize the importance of learning to speak comfortably in public, one of the most desirable skills in the professional world and key to leadership roles. Every 4-H member is encouraged to give a presentation every year. Through their presentations, youth learn to research a subject, organize their ideas into a logical order and practice public speaking skills. “I am so proud of the four members from our club who went on to compete at higher levels,” 4-H Leader Diane Doonan said. “All four have been giving demonstrations since they started 4-H and it is easy to see how that practice is helping them to be strong and confident speakers.” Doonan said she couldn’t remember the last members who got to compete at the state level. “We are all so excited for Kim and Aubrey, and impressed too!” she said. The California State 4-H Field Day is the largest and most comprehensive educational event for 4-H youth members (age 9-19) and 4-H volunteer educators. California State 4-H Field Day has more than 1,500 participants annually. Since 2002, 4-Hers from throughout the state have come together to connect and compete in this statewide event, held annually on the last Saturday of May on the campus of the University of California, Davis. “I’m excited that we have representatives at State Field Day this year, and hope it becomes a regular occurrence,” County 4-H Program Coordinator Callie Peek said. For more information on 4-H activities in Inyo and Mono counties, contact Peek at the 4-H Office, (760) 873-7854. Lynne Greer Columnist equipment, take it outside. For example, get off the treadmill and get on the dirt. Start doing hills, walk in sand and walk around sage brush. If you are on some sort of stair climber find stairs outside (the football bleachers at the high school). For weight training go as heavy as you can one day, very slow lighter load training the next time, or body weight training (push-ups, pull-ups, moving lunges in all three planes, and squat jumps). Get some medicine balls, work off a stability ball, and add a jump rope. Lots of times plateaus are boredom. Also overtraining can lead to this and maybe you need to add adequate rest to your program. These ideas help you get creative. This also is where hiring a trainer helps. Hopefully this will help you understand your plateau is not such a bad thing as well as give you some ideas to get you through this phase if it is that big of an issue. There are many ways to change your overall strength and cardiovascular systems but unless you have more time to devote to training you’d be best suited to maintain the fitness level you have and enjoy it. Very few of us have the luxury to train like an athlete, or physical ability for that matter. Ruts can occur from many different training situations. Recent injury, pain, illness, overtraining, lack of rest, and life’s disruptions can make all of us feel stuck in a rut. The best thing about feeling this way is you can do something to change it. Change is the one constant in our lives and many times hard to adapt to what is thrown at us. I call it the new normal. Accept it and make the changes to work through the plateau or don’t worry about it and keep your body moving. This is the most important thing to remember, that you don’t let how your feeling stop you from exercising. Stuck in a rut is something you can deal with and with a little bit of creativity you can overcome it and move on. Remember your program must be tailored to your goals, your physical ability, and how much time you have to devote to it. As always choose health and, until next time, thanks for reading.

CHP to conduct sobriety checkpoint Officers will be on the lookout for inebriated drivers on Friday Register Staff The California Highway Patrol Bishop Area will conduct a sobriety checkpoint on Friday, May 27, in Inyo County. “All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers,” said Capt. Timothy Noyes, area commander of the CHP’s Bishop Office. Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alco- hol and/or drug impairment. The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of each and every motorist. A sobriety checkpoint is a proven effective tool for achieving this goal and is designed to augment existing patrol operations, according to the CHP “By publicizing our efforts we believe that we can deter motorists from drinking while driving,” Noyes said. “Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs,” Noyes emphasized. “Our objective is to send a clear message to those individuals that mixing alcohol and/or drugs while driving will not be tolerated. The CHP seeks to enhance highway safety by apprehending the impaired driver.” Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the CHP by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to continue to work together to bring an end to these tragedies. The CHP advises that those who see a drunk driver should call 9-1-1. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 400 people a year die during a typical Memorial Day weekend. Alcohol is a major factor; 44 percent of all traffic fatalities that occur over Memorial Day are alcohol-related.

Mike Johnston Bishop Choo Choo swap meet huge success for Laws The Laws Museum staff would like to thank the many volunteers who helped with making the Choo Choo Swap Meet a success this year. You are numerous and if we list you we might leave someone out. You know who you are. Your help was invaluable in helping to keep the museum running. You worked long hours – Thursday, Friday and especially Saturday. The set-up with painting the lines on the field can sometimes be back-breaking. Folks were there before dawn on Saturday to admit vendors and customers. Then there is the clean-up, which is grueling – you were all wonderful. We do want to thank Carol Symons for her past service in being chairman and setting up the framework on which the swap meet operates. We also want to thank BUHS’s Rotary Interact Club for its invaluable help on the morning gate and also the clean-up. Bishop, you can be proud of our helpful teenagers! And to the vendors – thanks so much for braving the possible inclement weather to come out. Glad the rain held off for you! And also thanks to the customers who attended, and some of you donated extra dollars to the museum. To everyone involved, we can’t thank you enough!

Chuck Levin, deputy registrar, volunteered his time to assist Inyo County citizens to register to vote from noon to midnight Sunday and Monday in front of the Bishop Twin Theatre. Levin has been a deputy registrar since 1968 in Los Angeles County and has worked alongside notable musicians and actors, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Dweezil and Moon Zappa, Jonathan Prince and Sydney Walsh, to register voters. Levin’s mother, Sylvia Levin, registered more than 47,000 California voters and is believed to hold the national record in the U.S. As for Monday’s rush to register, Foote said more residents seem to be interested in this year’s election. “People are really engaged in this election,” Foote said. “They feel the need to participate.” She also expressed gratitude to the local media for getting the word out. “One person who registered said she saw the Bishop Twin Theatre table on Facebook,” she said. While there could be registration cards in the mail that are post marked Monday, which would make them eligible to be processed, Foote said, as of Wednesday, party tallies were: • 9,697 voters • 3,050 Democrats • 4,075 Republicans • 1,951 declaring no party preference • 1,951 registered to miscellaneous Foote said she is seeing more new people registering to vote as well as people switching parties.

File photo trails Continued from front page and test an Adventure Trails pilot program. As it currently stands, the Adventure Trails Program will end on Jan. 1, 2017. AB 628 established a fiveyear pilot program that allowed Inyo County to designate specific county streets and roads as combined-use routes for off-highway vehicle uses. These combine-use highways are used to link existing OHV trails and trailheads or allow drivers to use these trails for easier access to intown goods and services. The original pilot program was caught up in an extensive environmental review and public input process. As a result, only about six- months of data was collected on the three combined-use routes authorized under the program. SB 1345 extends the original program for an additional three years. During a meeting in February, county supervisors voted to send a letter to Berryhill stressing “there simply is not enough time to generate enough on-theground data to evaluate the pros and cons of the current Adventure Trails Program and without an extension, there never will be.” The letter pushed support of the legislation that would extend the allotted amount of time for the Adventure Trails Pilot Program in Inyo County. “I am very glad to report the Senate has agreed on the need to extend this pilot program for three more years,” Berryhill said earlier this week. “It deserves every opportunity to continue. Linking up segments of existing OHV trails so that folks have easy access to the trails makes sense in rural communities and will prevent people from illegally driving on non-trails or private property.” Matt Kingsley, Inyo County’s Fifth District Supervisor said Wednesday he was encouraged to see the bill moving through the legislative process. “It’s and opportunity we need to explore,” Kingsley said. “Any time we have this kind of grassroots effort, I feel I should act on it.” In January of 2015, supervisors approved the designation of seven different combined use off-highway vehicle routes throughout the county. Of these seven routes, only three have been officially opened. The three routes currently open for use are from Independence to Mazourka Canyon, Boulder Creek RV resort in Lone Pine to Horseshoe Meadows and Laws to the Poleta OHV use area north of Bishop. The remaining four routes, which would cross Los Angeles Department of Water and Power land, start from Brown’s Town campground in Bishop, and the Pleasant Valley Reservoir area. Thus far, the LA Department of Water and Power has refused to open these routes for combined use. Inyo County Chief Administrative Officer Kevin Carunchio said Wednesday that the county is anticipating receiving letters of permission in June from LADWP regarding using the routes. “If you’re for the project or against it, there is just not enough time to get good representative data to prove a case either way,” Carunchio said. When the Adventure Trails Project was set in motion, the county set up a website to gather input about the three routes in question, inyoltc. org. The Adventure Trails project in Inyo County was the result of tremendous cooperation as community members from several different perspectives contributed to the final legislation. Senate’s Standing Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development. Typically, speakers are allocated two to three minutes for their remarks. NIHD’s CEO had 10 minutes to present a case on behalf of the Association of California Healthcare Districts. “It was quite an honor to speak,” Flanigan said. “At this point, there is a good feeling the bill will come out of Senate committee with a unanimous or near-unanimous support. It’s been through both subcommittees on the Assembly side with unanimous support and should be headed to the Legislative Floor for vote quite soon.” Wood recently told The Ukiah Daily Journal that rural California is facing a health care crisis. “Rural California has one physician for every 3,500 people and the average age of that one physician is 60,” Wood said. “It is crucial that we find ways to convince physicians to practice in our small towns.” Wood cited a 2015 physician’s hiring survey which indicated that 92 percent of final-year medical residents would prefer employment with a salary versus working independently. “Unfortunately, in our rural communities it can be extremely challenging for physicians to make it,” Wood said. “It is a daunting task for young physicians, who are often tens of thousands of dollars in debt, to move to a small town and build a practice from the ground up.” nih Continued from front page In other NIHD news, Flanigan said letters of offer were sent to two physicians interested in practicing at NIHD. Hopefully, Dr. Manish Pandaya, who grew up in Bishop and his wife, Dr. Shruti Ramakrishna, will sign on as a hospitalist and family practice provider, respectively. Dr. Sarah Zuger, offered a family practice position, has accepted and will arrive this fall. In a related topic, Flanigan spoke before the state Legislature for a second time on AB2024. The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Jim Wood, would allow critical access hospitals in California to employ physicians directly. Currently, only California and Texas prohibit such a relationship. Flanigan first spoke before the Assembly’s Committee on Business and Professions and then most recently to the Retirement only means it’s time for a new adventure.

We have two grown children in their 50s. Two years ago, my son asked me to co-sign a college loan for his child. When I declined, he said he was “done with this whole family,” and has not spoken to any of us since. I live several hundred miles away from my son. My thought now is to leave the bulk of what little I have to my daughter, because she will end up being my caregiver, selling my house and deciding my future medical care. Of course, I would leave my son a small sum, so he knows he has not been forgotten. I see no repair to this family, as I do not foresee my son changing. What advice do you have for me? – Hurt Mother Dear Hurt: Be grateful that you are close to your daughter. You were under no obligation to co-sign a loan on behalf of your grandchild. But your son’s reaction was totally out of proportion, and it makes us wonder whether something else may have been going on. Perhaps he felt you were somehow showing favoritism to his sister or her children. If such an accusation has merit, please examine your behavior honestly to see what you can change. Is anyone in touch with your son; a relative or family friend? Perhaps this person COMMUNITY CALENDAR The Inyo Register runs calender items for free events at no charge.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY To be human is to be relatively vulnerable in nearly all natural environments, essentially dependent, totally helpless if not for the support and nurturing of others, and, perhaps worst of all, cognizant of these facts and all related failings. Jupiter squared Saturn suggests that all humans give themselves the right to be. ARIES (March 21-April 19). When someone you respect is in charge you fall right into compliance with what’s being requested of you. But when it’s time to self-regulate, you’ll be in a mood to push the limits. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Write your wishes because there is power in your ink-paper-hand-heart connection. If your wish is a secret it will be even luckier for you to have it in this form, as powerful as it is hidden away. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something will take place to improve the situation between you and that person who is causing you pain. Will it be gentle talk or honest, tough love? Only you know the mode that will best suit the relationship. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Other people’s dramas will only sound like gossip or a decoy if they come from you. Besides, the most interesting events center on you. Believe it and share your own stories. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like a college student afraid to join the real world workforce, sometimes learning can be used as an excuse not to move forward. You know all you need to know. Now get out there and use it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be doing business on behalf of those unable or unwilling to do it themselves. There’s honor in this. Also responsibility – it’s best not to dwell on that part. Just execute this quickly with a clear intention and a light heart. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A great coach will help you think ahead Holiday Mathis of where you are and help you plan and do all it takes to get to the next level. Keep this in mind and you will eventually attract the right person. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today will feel a bit like working in a computer program you basically know, until you hit that one key that sends you to an entirely different screen you’re not sure how to escape from. Breathe and ask for help. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sure, you’ve done brave things. Some might even call you heroic. But this isn’t what you’ve built your reputation on. Consistency and good cheer have earned you major loyalty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will get people working in concert to effect meaningful change. This talent of yours is not to be taken lightly, even though it doesn’t require much effort from you today. One successful act will have a snowball effect. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will learn who you are by seeing what you can do. You will learn what you can do by trying what you probably can’t do. The one who is least afraid of looking ridiculous wins! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes the superficial things you think are going to make you happy actually do. As much as you’d like to claim the spiritually high road, a lower indulgence may do just as much to stoke your joy. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26). Your exploring mind will set sail in a new study this year that will open up an entire trajectory of new friends and environments. The romantic aspects of love will be highlighted in July. Save and find ways to earn more in July and you’ll be in a prime position to take a chance in business in August. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 14, 33, 28 and 5. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Much boils down to being logistically desirable. Schedule matches are love matches. TAURUS: The physical attraction won’t last unless the mental connection is also there. GEMINI: Conversations that glitter through the night will drift into something dreamier – a beautiful dance. CANCER: Jealous lovers will be nosy lovers. What have you posted on social media that you wouldn’t want absolutely everyone to see? LEO: The one who is very private will nonetheless surprise you with a juicy piece of information. VIRGO: You won’t mind that moody person when the mood in question is all about loving you. LIBRA: Your spontaneous ideas will be what your date will remember for years to come. SCORPIO: You can’t trust all the talk about your person of interest. Some of it is totally inaccurate. SAGITTARIUS: Get into a big social mix with your love, because the excitement of a crowd will transfer to the relationship. CAPRICORN: Facing a challenge together will be a better bonding experience than facing a movie together. AQUARIUS: Compatibility and scent go together – after all, you’re an animal, too. PISCES: No one wants to break the spell, but someone has to – unless you think you can ride home in a pumpkin.

Dear Annie: My heart hurts and I don’t know how to fix it. I am in my late 70s and my adult children rarely call. I call them. We have had no disagreements or other issues. I feel they are waiting for me to die to get their inheritance, and have no real interest in me as a person. They rarely celebrate my birthday or holidays, saying they have to work and will come another day.
