State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson
announced Wednesday that the Inyo County Office of
Education has been awarded $6 million in grant funding to
help its charter school students learn critical job skills.
The grant is part of Torlakson’s California Career Pathways
Trust program, which makes available a total of $500 million
in one-time competitive grants to educational institutions that
have or can build connections with the local business community or otherwise help students establish contacts necessary
for the 21st century workplace.
The funding comes from the California Career Pathways
Trust, established by Assembly Bill 86 in 2014. Its budget was
initially set at $250,000 for the 2013-14 fiscal year, when,
according to Torlakson, he awarded 39 grants across the state.
A whopping increase in demand – 123 applications worth

digging in its heels to capture
every last snowflake of winter
it can get, Disabled Sports
Eastern Sierra has been forging ahead – even with the
changeable climate conditions – to implement its summer programming.
Volunteers are already
signing up for summer training sessions, and programs
such as the annual Wounded
Warriors: Operation High
Altitude camp (June 1-5) and
Sierra Cycle Challenge cycling
fundraiser (July 25-27) are
already well into the planning
stages.
One of DSES’ ongoing programs is the weekly Cycling

truck and trailer is hard to
miss, and inside the trailer is
a fleet of various donated
adaptive bikes, all of which
can be utilized by adaptive
riders.
Apart from the benefits
afforded to those seeking to
improve their adaptive
cycling skills, the Cycling
Group offers an added benefit: socialization with other
adaptive cyclists. New group

budget alarm
Shortfall of about
$1.8 million
looming
Register Staff
Inyo County officials have
sounded the alarm about a
potential multi-million shortfall in the upcoming fiscal
year 2015-16 county General
Fund budget.
With county employees
scheduled for a 2 percent
raise in 2015-16, the county
was anticipating personnel
costs rising by $1 million,
noted County Administrator
Kevin Carunchio. The county
recently learned that employee healthcare costs borne by
the county will be increasing
by $350,000 for the coming
fiscal year. Then the county
was recently informed that it
will be billed about $423,000
by PERS (the California Public
Employee Retirement System)
in the coming year as PERS
attempts to cover its
“unfunded liability” for “safety employees,” which are primarily law enforcement personnel in the Sheriff’s and
Probation Departments.
With some other increased
PERS payments, the county is
looking at an estimated $1.8
million shortfall as it begins
to put together the 2015-16
budget, Carunchio wrote
when summarizing the outlook for the next budget year
during the Third Quarter
Financial Report. While that
might not seem like too much
in a $48 million General Fund
Kevin Carunchio,
CAO,
Inyo County
budget, Carunchio pointed
out that the General Fund
budget was only balanced
this year because of a $3.5
million “fund balance” from
the previous year. (The “fund
balance” is, essentially, the
amount that was budgeted
but not spent in a fiscal year.)
Considering the known
increases in expenses and the
need to use unspent money
from the previous year,
Carunchio warned that “even
if all other costs and revenues
remain unchanged,” the size
of the “structural deficit” in
the County’s General Fund
could grow to $5.3 million.
“Based on historic trends, it is
unlikely the County’s General
Fund Balance will be sufficient to bridge this broader

Yucca
Mtn.
has
half-life
left
Environmental
reviews still
underway
Register Staff
The long-studied and
now-delayed
Yucca
Mountain Nuclear Waste
Repository Project seems to
have at least one more halflife left before it is officially
buried.
.Inyo County will be using
federal funds to pay a consultant to review and comment on another groundwater-related environmental
report documenting potential impacts created by placing the nation’s high-level
nuclear waste underground
at Yucca Flats in the Nevada
Test Site, now called the
Nevada National Security
Site.
Andy Zdon and Associates
will be paid up to $60,000
over the course of the next
year to review a Supplemental
Environmental
Impact
Statement being prepared
by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission addressing the
potential impacts of the
nuke waste site on the
region’s groundwater. The
report will be added to the
“updated
Analysis
of
Postclosure Groundwater
Impacts report,” completed
in 2014 by the Department
of Energy. Zdon and
Associates will review the
relevant reports and data
and analyze how they relate
to Inyo County, and prepare
comments to submit during
the SEIS comment period.
Zdon is a former employee
of the Inyo County Water
Department and is “very
familiar” with the hydrology
in the vicinity of Yucca
Mountain, according to a
staff report by the Inyo
County Planning Department
– Yucca Mountain Repository
Assessment Office.
The staff report notes,
“Unless Congress appropriates additional funds to the
NRC to continue the Yucca
Mountain licensing activities
following the release of the
final SEIS, the NRC will not
have sufficient funds to continue the licensing process.”
However, if the licensing
process resumes at some
time in the future, the county wants to have its comments on the SEIS documented.
.Because of its proximity
to the site, a mere 17 miles
from the Inyo County line,
and anticipated impacts if
the project was approved
and built, Inyo County was
named an “affected unit of
local government” with
regard to the proposed
Yucca Mountain Nuclear
Waste Depository project.
That designation allowed
the county to obtain federal
grants and other funds to
cover all the costs it incurred
while participating in the
long, complex evaluation
and potential licensing of
the controversial Yucca
Mountain proposal.

Railroad to carry tourists to
the parent company’s tourist
facilities in Death Valley. The
car was donated to Inyo
County ‘where it started its
career’ in 1967 by its last
owner, The U.S. Potash
Company. The car was derelict at the time of arrival, and
sat out in the open at Laws for
thirty years before the museum was able to find the money
to restore it. Restoration took
almost five years, and was
done entirely by dedicated
volunteers.” The car is now in
beautiful condition.
In addition to the restored
Death Valley car, the Laws
Museum recently received
another restoration; the roof
of the train depot originally
built in 1883 was replaced.
The new roof is made entirely
of materials which match the
original roof – red cedar shingles, which, as they weather,
will compliment the age of
the building.
Jay Smart, Laws Museum
volunteer, was hoping the old
shingles don’t go to waste, so
he and others had the idea to
put a Laws brand on them.
“We went ahead and built a
branding iron. The Laws
brand looks very official,”
said Smart.
The branded shingles are
being sold now as keepsakes
for the price of $1 each. The
unbranded shingles are also
for sale, but those will cost
you. “Oh, 10 cents apiece
should do the trick for those,”
added Smart.
Other new-old exhibits are
popping up at Laws Historical
Village. A new arrastra was
built out of native materials,
in this case an elm tree and
hardware such as chains
found in the museum’s bone
yard. An arrastra is a basic
mine milling machine used to
pulverize rock. A sweep arm
– the elm log – is rotated and
drags heavy stones over pieces of ore-rich rock to be pulverized. After many rotations,
the rock breaks apart and the
ore is exposed. It’s heavy labor
that was done by a beast of
burden before mechanization.
Other improvements to the
museum and town include a
Laws train station sign donated by Bill Lugg and Bob
Church, new supports put
into the 1881 yellow caboose
on display, and a new bath
house for the western saloon.
On May 30 the museum is
open from 10:30 a.m.-2:30
p.m., and all exhibits will be
open. Fiddlin’ Pete will be performing and rides on the
Death Valley No. 5 car are $3;
tickets will be available on site
at the 1883 depot ticket office.
Admission to the museum is
by donation; $5 is suggested.

relatively new program
established by federal job
training legislation in order
to provide K-14 education
as well as job skills, primarily in the construction and
energy fields.
According
to
the
California Department of
Education, the ICOE is also
in charge of two other charter schools: the College
Bridge Academy and The
Education Corps, both located at W. 25th Street in Los
Angeles.
In general, the charter
schools are a last chance for
many of the students, most
inner-city high school dropouts trying to earn GEDs and
learn job skills. Past success
stories for Inyo’s charter
schools have included students going on to attend
UCLA and other universities,
according to prior interviews.
Inyo County serves a total
of about 2,500 students
through the charter schools,
and in exchange receives
funding from the state based
on average daily attendance
numbers at those schools.
The ICOE also charges the
school for the business services it provides – a 7 percent
fee, according to McAteer.
Any proceeds are set aside
and spent on Inyo County
schools and educational programs,
McAteer
has
explained.
At this juncture, it’s
unclear how the ICOE plans
to spend the $6 million grant,
which is almost equal to the
entire ICOE operating budget,
and if any of it can be spent
in Inyo County.
However, according to
Torlakson, grant recipients
are tasked with creating “sustained career pathways programs” that link businesses,
K–12 schools and community
colleges to prepare students
for the modern workplace.
“My top priority is to better prepare California students for college and careers
in
the
21st
century,”
Torlakson said in a press
release. “Career Pathways
provides vital support for
innovative, practical and
effective career tech programs that keep students
engaged in school and prepared for real-world jobs.”
grant
$709 million in CCPT grants
– required the legislature to
approve another $250 million for the program.
Torlakson ultimately awarded $244 million to 40 different entities this year.
Inyo County’s Office of
Education applied for and
received one of 20 $6 million
grants in the local grant category.
According to a statement
released by Superintendent
of Schools Dr. Terry McAteer’s
office, the funding was
received on behalf of the
YouthBuild Charter Schools.
The ICOE has been overseeing these schools in Los
Angeles since 2008, when
McAteer relocated to Inyo
County from Nevada County.
There are actually two separate charter schools located
at the same site – YouthBuild
Charter School of California
and YouthBuild Charter
School of California Central.
Both offer site-based instruction to at-risk youth and high
school drop-outs.

The public’s right to know
By Stan Conger
This piece is not about
supporting anyone in the
Board of Education kerfuffle.
I have friends and acquaintances on both sides of the
battle between
Superintendent McAteer, the
Board of Education, The Inyo
Register and just about anyone else you might want to
name in Inyo County, plus a
few I probably haven’t
thought about. It reminds
me of our Civil War, with
brother fighting brother and
families dying all over. No
one is being well served, but
one thing is certain: It is the
responsibility of our elected
and appointed officials to
bring this whole mess to a
rational conclusion.
Let’s consider state law, if
nothing else. The intent of
The Brown Act is clearly
stated at the very beginning.
It says that the various elected and appointed officials at
every level in our government, and yes that includes
boards of education and
school superintendents, “…
exist to aid in the conduct of
the people’s business.” The
act goes on to state the following: “The people, in delegating authority, do not give
their public servants the
right to decide what is good
for the people to know …”
Correct me if I’m wrong,
but the opposite appears to
be what Superintendent
McAteer and our County
Board of Education are telling us. They are not going to
publicly answer questions
concerning how our taxpayer
dollars are being spent. As
explained by one board
member, they believe that
they only have a duty to listen and no duty to respond.
I don’t care if this all
started because of one or
two disgruntled former
school employees. I don’t
care if the Board of
Education and
Superintendent McAteer
believe that everyone at The
Inyo Register have current
relatives living in the simian
world or perhaps that they
all live there as well. The
point is that they have a
duty to respond. It is not
even close to being acceptable for them to erect
impenetrable barriers to
public understanding of the
issues involved.
There may be very good,
logical and supportable reasons for every last penny
spent. The Inyo Register
could be on a witch hunt. Or
not. The problem is that we
don’t know this and we have
no way to decide how we
Top of the Morning
Guest Columnist
feel about it all, because they
ain’t talkin’. Does that make
any sense at all? Do they
think that this will somehow
all just blow over by virtue
of a lack of communication?
The insidious result of all of
this is that the silence will
lead many to believe that
something is being hidden
and that the only question
left is whether it is a big
thing or small thing.
We, the voters, gave local
education boards and their
superintendents the power
to spend money in nearly
any way they desired many
years ago. That happened
via the initiative process,
resulting in an amendment
to the California
Constitution, giving local
jurisdictions the power to
spend money on school
related projects and initia-
tives in ways that made
sense to them. State officials, including the State
Board of Education, have no
authority to intervene and
this fact is supported by
subsequent court decisions
and opinions issued by the
Office of the California
Attorney General, back when
Governor Jerry Brown was
the Attorney General.
So, if the expenditures are
legal, then why the silence?
Is it simply a matter of
embarrassment, or are they
so angry at The Inyo Register
that they’re willing to build
this wall and circle the wagons. Could someone please
step forward and be the
adult here?
I can certainly find many
good reasons for the Board
of Education and the
Superintendent to provide
cash support to non-school
organizations like Wild Iris,
among others. Answering
that question and others like
it should have been easy and
could have provided well
justified grounds for their
actions, if such expenditures
did take place.
Wild Iris provides support
services for victims of violence in the home. It is a
well-documented fact that
the children of those victims
are themselves victims,
whether directly or indirectly
affected by that violence.
Those children act out in
school and they have difficulty with the entire learning
process. Thus, spending
public school funds to support organizations like Wild
Iris would make a great deal
of sense.
Playhouse 395 also provides a valuable service to
our school children,
although I know that they
have not been recipients of
the “hundreds of thousands
of dollars” allegedly spent
on non-school entities, as
reported by The Inyo
Register. This makes me
wonder if Wild Iris also falls
into that non-recipient category. Questions concerning
this whole group of alleged
expenditures could be
cleared up by the public officials to whom these questions have been submitted.
Where is the benefit in refusing to answer?
Some questions may certainly fall into a category of
seemingly offensive inquiries
that no one has any legitimate right to ask. When are
you planning to retire? There
certainly are valid reasons to
plan for the retirement of
any public official, but if the
official wishes to keep that
one close to the vest, then it
is a legitimate non-response.
Likewise, if a question is
asked in such a way that the
question itself suggests malfeasance, then I can understand the anger that a public
official might feel. That
rational anger, however,
does not provide an excuse
for refusing to give a real
answer for the underlying
issue.
Let’s be clear about this.
Throwing massive amounts
of budget documents at a
questioner and expecting
them to wade through the
documents to find the
answers to their questions
does not constitute a rational response to those questions. Nor does it qualify as
meeting the responsibility
that any public servant owes
to those they serve.
Our Board of Education
and our Superintendent owe
all of us decent and well-reasoned responses to any
questions posed, from any
source. And yes, their duty
does extend far beyond a
simple duty to listen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Supervisors
must challenge
irrigation cuts
DWP released its final 20152016 Operations Plan last week. As
expected, it includes enormous (57
percent) reductions in Owens
Valley irrigation water. Under the
Inyo-L.A. Water Agreement (LTWA),
these cuts must be approved by
the Standing Committee. The
Standing Committee has not
approved the cuts and without
such approval the reductions are a
flagrant violation of the LTWA.
Inyo County has yet to address
this violation. It has neither notified DWP its plan is inconsistent
with the LTWA, nor gone to court
to seek an injunction. Inyo
Supervisors have an obligation to
enforce the LTWA and failure to do
so is a betrayal of the public trust.
Withholding irrigation water
will have devastating consequences to our agricultural economy and
is not necessary: There is more
than enough water in Long Valley
Reservoir to supply this year’s irrigation obligations.
In addition to disclosing 57 percent cuts in OV irrigation, DWP’s
Operations Plan discloses DWP will
reduce domestic water supply in
L.A. by less than 10 percent. This is
not even close to Governor Brown’s
mandated 25 percent reduction.
Shared sacrifice, indeed!
For years, Inyo Supervisors have
paid lip service to supporting agriculture and ranching while ignoring credible complaints of irrigation reductions in violation of the
LTWA. This has to stop. Please
contact your Supervisor and
remind him that enforcing the
LTWA is not optional and that the
county must take immediate action
to challenge DWP’s illegal reductions in irrigation.

Can’t wait to hear
what preschool
teachers learned
As a family childcare provider
in Bishop for over thirty-two years,
I was amazed to read that there are
people in the community who consider childcare a “non-school entity.” Some actually believe that children do not begin to learn until
they are 5.
Granted, there is no financial
support for family childcare providers (that’s childcare, not day
care. We care for the child not the
day), but there are many workshops we attend on nutrition,
emerging literacy and math
through play, also helping children
develop social skills such a sharing, taking turns and listening.
Infants, toddlers and preschool
children absorb more information
than at any other time in their
lives. This is the foundation of
their education.
The fact that Dr. Terry McAteer
and the ICOE have acknowledged
our work and given us improvements to our facilities is a wonderful surprise. We expect our work to
be forgotten, so this positive support is good for everyone – providers and the families they care for.
As far as the complaint concerning the money spent for our local
preschool teachers to be trained in
the best facility in the world, these
teachers will come back with information about the most successful
techniques for helping infants,
toddlers and preschool children
develop and learn in a positive
healthy environment. I, for one,
can’t wait to hear what these teachers have learned. There are always
new ideas and ways for helping
children grow intellectually and
emotionally.

Playhouse never
directly received
any ICOE funds
The May 21 edition of The Inyo
Register had on a long article
regarding questions that have
been asked of the Inyo County
School
Board
and
it’s
Superintendent, Terry McAteer.
The first of the unanswered
questions (pg.3) asks ‘How do you
justify spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on non-school
entities in the community, such as
Wild Iris, Inyo Council for the Arts,
Playhouse 395, home-based daycare providers?
I wanted to state that Playhouse
395 has never received any money
from the ICOE. The ICOE did renovate the theater at the high school,
but that is something that benefits
primarily the high school, who
uses it daily for two classes, as
well as its many assemblies and
other large meetings and performances of its own. Inyo Council
for the Arts, Community Concerts
and Playhouse 395 (among others)
also use the theater, and we all
benefit from the fresh paint job,
and new curtains. But no monies
were ever given specifically to us
or allocated specifically for our
use.
Sincerely,
Karen Keehn,
Playhouse 395
(The question referenced was
based directly on an item listed in a
handout provided by Dr. McAteer
at the March 24 Board of Education
meeting during a review of programs his office undertook for the
2014-15 fiscal year. The hand-out

made available by the road, i.e.,
campsites, picnic areas, connections to other roads, vistas, hunting

The Forest Service has recognized that they need to partner
with volunteer groups to accomplish their many goals. The Eastern
Sierra 4x4 Club has performed
maintenance on many of the roads
at no cost to the Forest Service. The
maintenance cost could be further
reduced if the Forest Service would
consult with the users of these
roads. Based on their desire to
close roads (“likely not needed” is
the first step) it is obvious which
groups they want to partner with.
In response to the May 14, 2015
letter to the editor titled “Field trips
to road sites would be helpful:”
The information supplied by the
Inyo National Forest states that the
Travel Analysis Report analyzed
1564 Level 2 (High Clearance
Vehicle) roads that they maintain
and they found that 795 of those
roads are likely not needed. That
comes to 50.8 percent of the roads
analyzed in this category. Many of
those roads are short but that does
not make them “not needed.” The

Costumes, disco, bikes
and … pampering
The annual Eastside Velo Pamper Pedal is a women’s costume bicycle ride from Mammoth to
Bishop taking place at 10 a.m. this Saturday. There are four theme rest stops with food along the
way, and an after-party in Bishop at Elks Park where the ladies will be pampered by the male
members of Eastside Velo. This year’s theme is Disco. If you’re a lady who likes to costume, ride
bikes, eat, disco and party, go to eastsidevelo.org to sign up.

aspect. Cyclist Peter Waasdorp
said he likes “hanging with a
fun group.” His goals for this
season include “getting better
at gears and climbing hills.”
Then there are the physical
benefits. Cycling Group member Amanda Cox said she
looks forward to every summer and participating with
DSES, but also stressed that
cycling is good for training the
left side of her body. Group
member Nate Gratz, in his
third year cycling with DSES,
said the program has made
him stronger physically and
more determined mentally.
In addition to his diet regimen, which has resulted in
significant weight loss, Gratz
is training for big things on his
new bike. The long, almost rail
thin cycle is specially modified for those with quadriplegia, and the nearly fully
reclined position gives Gratz a
more comfortable operational
configuration.
“I had a great winter with
Disabled Sports Eastern
Sierra,” Gratz said. “I participated in both the Nordic and
Biathlon camps, and those
were butt kickers!” During the
winter, he also cross-trained
on his bike, setting his sights
on a particular goal. “I want to
complete the Fallon Century,”
he said. “Last year, I did 43
miles, and with all my training, I think I can do way better
than that this year.”
Riders aren’t the only ones
who enjoy the Cycling Group.
DSES’ dedicated volunteer
crew also looks forward to the
weekly gatherings. Volunteer
Gary Olson typically has been
a winter instructor, but now
has his summers free and is
working with the riders. “It’s
my first season, and I’ve been
skiing as a volunteer, but I’m
also a long-time cycler,” Olson
said. “I’m really looking forward to this.”
So is new volunteer Kelly
Devine. “This is my first time
volunteering and I really love
it,” she said. Devine added she
lives in Bishop, but will be volunteering in Mammoth as
well.

And, on the income side, with the impacts of
the Great Recession fading, for the third
straight year there will be an increase in the
value of Los Angeles Department of Water

While noting that all budget numbers for
2015-16 are “preliminary” and subject to revision, initial estimates by county departments
do not show a dramatic drop in anticipated

up to $400,000 in General Fund cash to

new officers,
honors members
Annual awards
ceremony
recognizes
residents for
thousands of
hours of service
Register Staff
Members of the Northern
Inyo Hospital Auxiliary
recently gathered for two
annual rituals: the honoring
of members for their service
to the community, and a
changing of the guard in
leadership.
The group’s 2015 installation and awards banquet
drew the attendance of
Auxiliary members far and
wide as well as NIH CEO
Victoria Alexander-Lane,
who presided over the
event.
She helped the Auxiliary
honor seven members for
their dedication to helping
raise funds for life-saving
equipment for the hospital.
In 2015, Bert Johnson
reached a total of 13,500
hours of service through
fundraising efforts. Sharon
Moore hit the 12,500 milestone. Nona Jones reached
8,000 hours while both
Diane Remick and Sharon
Thompson reached a total
of 2,500 hours of service
over the course of their
Auxiliary
membership.
Shirley Bourelle hit the
2,000-hour
mark
and
Richard Rogers is now at
100 hours of total service.
This year alone, the small
but hard-working group
contributed 6,141 hours to
fundraising efforts. Since
1982, the Auxiliary has dedicated 182,574 service hours
to raising funds for Northern
Inyo Hospital.
New members are always
welcome. The Auxiliary
meets every Wednesday at
the hospital annex, 2957
Birch St., Bishop.
Members are now being
led by a new panel of officers. The following ladies
were installed at the awards
ceremony: President Bert

Press Releases
Made Easy
1) Save Your Press Release as a “txt” Document. This is the lowest
common denominator and ensures that whomever you send it to will be able to open it.
(They’re not likely to go out of their way to try to open something they didn’t request.)
2) Send Your Photos or other images as “jpg” files with a resolution of 300 dpi
or greater. A 4-inch by 5-inch image gives the editor something to work with whereas
anything smaller will likely be thrown away.
3) Send Your Release (with Photo Attachments) by Email, if possible … Anything
you can do to save the editor/reporter work increases the likelihood it will be used. If
you can’t email it, please hand-deliver it on a CD. You can also use snail mail or deliver
it personally, but remember, the less work you make for the editor, the greater your
chances he or she will use it.
4) Identify Your Photos. Make sure any photos you submit have identification of
the people pictured and tell what is happening as well. Identify photos from left to right.
Check spelling of names as well as tell us where the people are from.
5) Make Personal Contacts. Whenever possible, make personal contact with
the people to whom you will be sending your release. You appreciate having a face or
voice to associate with a name. So do editors. People are more inclined to help people
they know (even slightly) than a complete stranger.
6) When Submitting Information About Events, be sure to give the editor
a week of lead time. Unless your information is “breaking news,” such as the announcement of a new plant, etc., don’t expect the editor to rush to get your information into the
paper.
7) Send To: Darcy Ellis [email protected], mail to 1180 N. Main St., Ste. 108,
Bishop, CA 93514 or fax to (760) 873-3591.

power to sell on July 1, 2015, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The tax collector's power to sell will arise unless the property
is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business
on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that
date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to
the date of the sale by the tax collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Alisha McMurtrie PO Drawer O, Independence CA 93526 (760) 878-0312.
The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June, 2015, is shown opposite the parcel number and
next to the name of the assessee.
PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION
The Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the assessor's map book, the map
page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The assessor's maps and
further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the assessor's office.

Information about onsite materials is described in the report entitled Subsurface
Investigation and Pavement Design Report for the Sunland Drive Bicycle Lanes
Project and the South Bishop Resurfacing Project, dated October 1, 2014, prepared by Eastern Sierra Engineering of Reno, Nevada. The report is included in
the Appendix to the Special Provisions for the project.
Bids must be delivered in a sealed envelope clearly marked thereon with the
bidder's name and address, the word BID, and the project title SOUTH BISHOP IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
To be considered, bids must be received by the Assistant Clerk to the Inyo
County Board of Supervisors, 224 N. Edwards Street (mailing address: P.O.
Box N), Independence, CA 93526 at or before 3:30 P.M., on June 5, 2015 at
which time they will be publicly opened and read. No oral, email, telephone, or fax
proposals or modifications will be accepted.
General Work Description: The South Bishop Improvement Project consists of
two projects with separate funding sources:
1)
The Sunland Drive Reconstruction Project (RPL-5948(064)) consists
of pulverizing the existing pavement on Sunland Drive; installing 2 inches of hot
mix asphalt pavement (HMA) on the reconstructed material on what will be the
two new 11-foot wide vehicle lanes of Sunland Drive; adjusting survey monuments
to grade; installing concrete sidewalk, curb, gutter, and an ADA ramp; installing
shoulder backing, installing/replacing roadside signs, painting centerline striping,
and painting pavement markings. This project is federally funded.
2)
The Sunland Drive Bicycle Lanes Project RPSTPLE-5948(077) generally consists of widening Sunland Drive to accommodate two 4-foot wide bicycle
lanes on each side of the road; installing 2 inches of HMA on the bicycle lanes
(which will be done contiguously with paving the vehicle lanes); installing shoulder
backing; and installing bicycle lane striping, signs, and pavement markings. This
project is federally funded.
The scope of work for the project also consists items of work that apply to both
projects simultaneously, such as the placement and maintenance of construction
area signs; the preparation and implementation of a traffic control plan; the preparation and implementation of a storm water pollution prevention plan as described
in the special provisions.
These two projects will be constructed at the same time. There are two separate
bid item lists for the federally funded South Bishop Improvement Project and the
contractor will receive two separate monthly pay estimates. The Contractor will be
responsible for assigning work to the appropriate bid item list as well as proportioning of work performed which is assigned to the two separate funding sources
appropriate to the work furnished.
Bids shall conform to and be responsive to the contract documents, which include
the notice inviting bids, bid proposal forms, contract and bond forms, California
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, dated 2010, California Department of Transportation Standard Plans, dated 2010 (including all issued revisions), special provisions, project plans, and current edition of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and any other documents incorporated therein by
reference. Bids are required for the entire work described in the contract documents. Each bid must be submitted on the bid proposal forms furnished as part of
the bid package.
General requests for information, such as how to order bid packages, engineer's estimate, plan holders list, bid results or summaries, subcontractor
lists, or similar information should be directed to the receptionist at the Inyo
County Public Works Department at 760-878-0201.
Technical questions related to engineering, site conditions, materials, construction methods, or testing should be directed to Jed Eropkin of the Public Works Department at [email protected].

Family fighting over dying man’s last wishes
Dear Annie: My father
was in prison for my entire
childhood. I am now 23 and
have managed to build a
good relationship with him
since he was released two
years ago.
Recently, Dad became
very ill and stopped breathing. He was on life support
for a week. Because I am his
closest relative, I am in
charge of his health care. I
was told the damage was too
severe and he would never
recover. They expect him to
die within weeks. When Dad
woke up, I was given the
option of making him “comfortable” with medicine that
would eventually stop his
breathing.
I want Dad to be happy in
his last days, so I asked him
what he wanted. He said he
wanted to live with me, so I
brought him home, and he is
in hospice care. Now his
brothers are furious that I
didn’t put him in a nursing
home. They think he would
get rehab there and be able
to live a normal life again.
When my father was incar-
cerated, no one in his family
made any effort to be in my
life. Dad told his brothers
that he is prepared to die
and wants to spend his last
days with his daughter and
his grandchildren. Plus, a
nursing home won’t treat
him if he refuses treatment,
and it isn’t likely to help him
in any event. He suffered terrible brain damage when he
stopped breathing.
But, Annie, his brothers
are making my life terribly
stressful. I have tried to
explain to them that they

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
The Libra moon is sponsoring a
match: Happiness vs. Fun. Fun is in
one corner, promising you easy laughs
and immediate pleasure. Happiness
rallies from the other side of the ring
looking not nearly as flashy and offering little more than meaningful responsibilities to shoulder. Not so glamorous, perhaps, but something to root
for.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Making amends will fix what’s broken,
even though you don’t feel you’re
really to blame. Forget about the
blame for now while you focus on
helping the other person feel better.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ll be in charge of molding a young
mind – maybe your own, maybe
someone else’s. Get the best information and the best teachers. Ask for
recommendations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Mild interest soon turns to fascination
and then to wanting. Don’t act on this
now, especially if it has to do with
making a purchase or a commitment.
You could feel totally different tomorrow.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Volunteer. Don’t be worried that you’ll
get burned out by selfless service,
because this actually will be what
energizes you. It’s the things you do
for compensation that may be draining.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Impulsiveness isn’t always ill informed.
You’ll get information in a psychic
flash. Somewhere in the back of your
mind you’re thinking of the long-term
benefits even as you follow a spontaneous impulse.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Once you’ve taken the time to learn
the etiquette, the protocol or simply
the rules by which a group of people
abide, you’ll be accepted. That’s when
you’ll be able to totally relax and let
your natural inclinations guide you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
main reason to be mellow and patient
now is not that it will make another
person’s life more pleasant (though it
will); it’s because you’ll feel very guilty
and sorry shortly after you lose your
Holiday Mathis
cool.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You don’t have to place a personal ad
to attract what you’re looking for.
However, writing one up (just for you)
would be a helpful exercise to keep
you focused. You might be surprised
with what you come up with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Interesting people have a way of
heating up your fire-sign energy. This is
how you’re able to melt through a
layer of ice that someone has taken
years to cultivate.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You may find yourself stretching to
meet one of your many fiscal responsibilities and perhaps feeling a tad
resentful that you can’t have more fun
with your money. Be patient. All in due
time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You’re endowed with aesthetic and
creative gifts, and you’ll use them to
give your environment a more pleasing sheen. Friendships, however, are
your greatest work of art.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Relax and see where life takes you.
Floating with the tides might be considered passive, but right now it will
open more opportunities for you than
trying to row against the current.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28).
A positive spin on your history will give
you a secure basis on which to accept
this year’s copious bounty. Your project catches fire in June. Reinvest the
windfall that comes of this. October
and February are the times to make
grand plans for fun and charity – the
events you pull off will change lives,
including your own. Capricorn and
Taurus people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 20, 1, 22 and 14.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
ARIES: It’s more attractive to talk
and move slowly than quickly.
TAURUS: Your honesty is not only
refreshing to those around you; it is
also a powerful force that guides and
simplifies your life. GEMINI: All signs
point to you taking a chance. CANCER:
Those who play among the stars risk
the longest freefall. LEO: You can’t
force yourself to feel. When the inner
conditions are right, the emotions flow
freely. VIRGO: You go with your
whole heart or nothing at all. Halfheartedness can’t touch the splendor.
LIBRA: Despite your resolution, someone keeps drawing you back.
SCORPIO: Do you like the feeling of
infatuation or hate having a crush?
You’ll find out this weekend.
SAGITTARIUS: Don’t stay with someone whose selfishness is undeniable
and bottomless. CAPRICORN: You’ll
wonder whether you really do fit with
someone and will get answers in the
way you come together this weekend.
AQUARIUS: You’ll brilliantly balance
the responsibilities you have to yourself and those you have to the people
you care about. PISCES: Limbo is a
place everyone has to visit at one time
or another, but it’s no place to stay.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND:
The ruling Gemini sun and the Scorpio
moon magnify the attraction between
these two signs that, at first, may not
seem to have much in common.
Gemini tends to be lighthearted and
outgoing, full of easy conversation and
new ideas. Whereas, Scorpio gravitates
toward the more serious issues and
likes to go deep. They learn more from
each other precisely because they are
so different.

Dear Happiness: As long
as your father is capable of
making this decision, please
respect him enough to allow
it. His brothers feel helpless,
and that is why they are badgering you to put him in a
nursing home. We urge you
to have Dad’s doctors and
someone from hospice speak
to your uncles directly and
explain the situation so they
will understand more clearly
what is at stake. Our condolences.
Dear Annie: May I add to
Everyone, including the other
coaches, thought he was having a heart attack. He lay
there and died.
I wrestled for four years
under his coaching. We later
found out he had been chewing gum and it got stuck in
his windpipe, and that’s what
killed him. It was one of the
saddest days in the school’s
history. True story. I can’t
say it more strongly: No gum
chewing during sports.

FISHING REPORT
Lake Sabrina
Another week of daily snow
and cool weather at the lake.
That makes three solid weeks
and finally the lake is on the
rise with the dumping Saturday
evening of white and very wet
snow – five inches of the white
stuff with a water content of
.61 – that’s over a half inch of
water – woo-hoo. With the sun
playing peek-a-boo, the snow
melted quickly at our altitude.
With the awesome stocking
from the Department of Fish
and Wildlife, fishing picked up
this week. Trolling is still on the
slow side, so if you’re in a boat,
try fishing the channels or along
the shore line. Fishing the Inlets
is still the best. Jigs have been
doing well, but so has
Nightcrawler and PowerBait.
Alfredo, Danny and Irma Luna
of Baldwin Park all caught limits using Red and Gold Thomas
Buoyants. Jason with help from
Dad, Tim Noyes, caught a nice
1.5-pounder on PowerBait.
Chris Gaskill pulled out an awesome limit in remembrance of
his step-brother, Rob, who had
passed during the night.
Had a report that Blue Lake
is wide open, there are still
some areas where you’ll be
dodging and weaving on the
trail due to snow drifts, but
temps are expect to be on the
rise toward next weekend, so
those should be gone shortly.
All campgrounds are now
open in the Bishop Creek
Canyon. Bishop Creek Lodge,
Creekside RV Park, Cardinal
Village Resort and Parchers
Resort are all open.

I can’t start the fishing report
off this weekend without first
thanking all the men and
women who have served this
great country, especially the
brave service members who
have paid the ultimate price.
This weekend I will definitely
spend time reflecting on the
sacrifices those have paid for
the price of our freedom.
As far as the fishing at
Convict Lake, it has been on
fire with a lot of large trout
being caught throughout the
week. The good folks at Desert
Springs Trout Farm stocked the
lake last Tuesday with 400
pounds of fish in the 5- to 8pound range.
Please note that next week
I’ll be out of town at the Pacific
Coast Sportfishing Festival at
the Orange County Fairgrounds.
If you happen to be at the
show stop by and say hello. I’ll
be at booth 206.
Catch of the Week: Dennis
Addington from Lomita, Ca.
with a stout 7 lb., 3 oz. rainbow. Dennis with the “catch of
the week” by just one ounce.
He was using a lure from Luhr
Jensen. Great job Dennis!
Tactics/Bait:
Thomas
Buoyants and Berkley’s Garlic
Gulp Pinched Nightcrawlers
were the hot rigs of the week.
Tasmanian Devils or Needlefish
continue to hook up quality
fish for the folks out there trolling. We received multiple
reports the mini jigs were
catching fish. I’d suggest tossing Sierra Slammer mini jigs
(brown and green), Power
Worm/Mice Tails and Power
Eggs (orange, pink or red).
PowerBait colors varied this
week with anything garlic being
the proven constant winner.
The hottest shore locations on
the lake were he North Shore
and Handicap Pier/South Shore
area. Other locations to try:
South Shore, Inlet and
Hangman’s Tree.
Here is a list of other baits/
lures that can be productive:
Sierra Slammers, Tasmanian
Devil, Green or brown Marvel
Fly Lures, Trout Teasers, Panther
Martin, NeedleFish, Rooster
Tails and Bite-on Fury Shad on
PowerBait.
I was suggest using some
type of added attractant. ProCure, Bait-On, Lip Ripperz and
Berkley all make excellent
attractants.
Here is a list of recommended flies:
Dry Flies: Adams, Female
Adams, Cutter’s Caddis, Elk Hair
Caddis, Stimulators, Black/Red
Ants, Sierra Bright Dot, Royal
Coachman and Hoppers.
Streamers: Wooly Bugger
(black, brown, olive or green),
Mutuka (black, brown, olive, or
green), Hornberg and Muddler
Minnows.
Wet Flies (Nymphs): Prince
Nymph, Flashback Pheasant
Tail, Hare’s Ear, Zebra Midge
(red and black), Copper John
(red and copper) and San Juan
Worm (brown or red).

I was fishing Kermin Lake
in the spring over 20 years
ago with one of my fly fishing
guides, Dave Wolter. We were
in pursuit of the football sized
brookies that called the lake
home. I was fishing the standard method for the lake, a
full sink line stripping a wooly
bugger, matuka and a scud. I
had no luck. This was anticipated as Kemin had been
reported as fishing slow.
Dave ended up fishing in
the tules with a scud suspended underneath a nymph
indicator. As I recall Dave
ended up with a couple of hits
and one fish on, but lost. A
stop at Ken’s Sporting Goods
in Bridgeport confirmed that
Dave’s morning of fishing was
the best reported to the shop
in a week or two. I did not pay
much attention to the method
Dave fished but was intrigued
by it.
I remember hearing about
Mike Peters, a legendary
Mammoth Lakes guide in the
mid 80’s through the 90’s,
using a technique on Twin
Lakes in Mammoth that the
guides were referring to as
the disappearing puff ball. I
knew that it was an effective
method, but again did not pay
much attention to it.
Crowley Lake is known for
its oversized rainbows in the
18- to 24-inch class. These
fish get big on a diet of midges, mayflies, damsel flies,
dragon flies and perch fry.
The standard fare for fly fishing Crowley before the mid
1990s was to use a float tube
and cast full sink or sink tip
lines with streamers, damsel
fly imitations and dragon fly
imitations.
According to the Trout Fly
webpage, Mike Peters and
Harry Blackburn developed
“the midge technique” on
local Mammoth waters in
Fred Rowe
Columnist
1993. This method quickly
became the standard method
of fly fishing on Crowley
Lake.
So what is the disappearing puff ball technique or
midge fishing?
This method requires that
fly fishers fish from a boat or
float tube with a midge suspended off the lake bottom
underneath a nymph indicator.
Short casts that allow the
rig to get on the water without
tangling are all that are
required. Fly fishers keenly
watch the indicator for the
slightest movement. Any
movement in the indicator
and the angler sets the hook.
If the fish is hooked then the
fight is on. If the fish is missed,
often refereed to as a drive by,
then the rig is recast and the
wait for a take starts again.
Like most things in life it is
the little secrets that make the
method easier for some then
others. For midge fishing one
of these secrets is to clip a
pair of hemostats to the bottom fly and drop the rig overboard. When the hemostats
settle on the bottom the angler
grabs the leader and places
the indicator about a foot
under this point. This ensures
that the midges will be suspended about a foot off of the
bottom.
Using two to three flies
increases the odds of suspending the midge at the level
the trout are feeding. How
you tie the flies on is another
inside secret. Some fly fishers
like to tie the midges from the
bend of the hook to the eye of
the next hook. This allows the
flies to be fished vertically in
the water column. Others
anglers like to fish the midges
at a slight angle to vertical
and well attach the flies from
the eye of the first midge to
the eye of the second midge.
Fly patterns for midge fishing has exploded in the last
10 to 15 years. A few patterns
that will get the fly fisher
started would include zebra
midges, tiger midges, blood
midges, gilly midges and
optimidge. Red Baron midges
are extremely effective in
stained water. This is a good
pattern to fish during
Crowley’s algae blooms.
I’m headed to Crowley on
Friday for my first trip of the
year. The midge fishing is just
starting and will peak in late
July. I’m hopping for a wide
open bite and the chance to
land a Crowley Lake triple, a
rainbow, brown and cutthroat
trout.

Who will reign at
Roland Garros?
The second major tennis
tournament of 2015, followed by the Australian
Open, is the French Open.
The 2015 French Open
started on May 24 and ends
with the men’s final on June
7. The tournament is being
played in Paris at Roland
Garros on the red clay surface, making it one of the
most physically demanding
events on the tennis circuit.
With the French Open
already underway, Serena
Williams, the world No. 1
women’s tennis player will
now have to worry about
managing her own health as
she competes in the most
important tournament of
the spring.
On May 14, she withdrew
from the Italian Open, citing
a elbow injury. “It wasn’t an
easy decision, I talked with
my coach and he said it
wouldn’t be smart for me to
play,” Williams said.
In recent years, Serena
Williams has been the
undisputed force in women’s tennis. The American
has won an astonishing 19
Grand Slam titles and is
looking to win her third
French Open. Last year, she
lost in the second round as
defending champion, but
the 33-year-old believes she
is ready for more success at
Roland Garros, despite an
elbow injury that caused
her to withdraw from the
Italian Open earlier this
month.
Williams, defending
champion Maria Sharapova,
Simon Halep and Victoria
Azarenka are the four big
favorites to capture the
2015 French Open
title. Williams, Sharapova
and Halep currently occupy
the top three spots in the
WTA rankings, while
Azarenka continues to
impress on her comeback
from injury, rising from No.
42 at the start of the season
to No. 27 currently.

Nine-time men’s champion Rafael Nadal is an obvious contender for the
French Open title, but his
form this year has suffered
as a result of having missed
most of the second half of
last year, including the US
Open, due to injury.
His recent poor performances means for the first
time in a very long time, the
Spaniard will not start as
favorite to win the tournament, which he has so long
dominated since debuting
in 2005. It will give his closest competitors, namely
Roger Federer, Novak
Djokovic and Andy Murray,
their chance to shine in
Paris this year.
Nadal has struggled so
much, he goes into the
French Open this year as
the seventh seed, hardly a
ringing endorsement for the
defending champion. The
only year of the past ten
that the Spaniard lost was
in 2009, when he lost in the
fourth round. This year’s
favorite is top-seeded
Novak Djokovic, who has
never won the championship at Roland Garros. Also
lurking in the shadows is
perennial favorite Roger
Federer, whose game has
slipped a bit in the last few
years, but has continued to
play quality tennis.
Roger Federer is looking
NBA off the court
to add another title to his
lone trophy from Paris. The
33-year-old Swiss’ one title
win at the Grand Slam on
clay was in 2009, when he
beat Rafael Nadal’s conqueror, Robin Soderling,
6-1, 7-6, 6-4.
This will be Federer’s
record 62nd consecutive
Grand Slam tournament
played. Federer’s streak
began at the 2000
Australian Open and he is
the only player to compete
in every Grand Slam singles
draw in this century. He is
also making his 17th
straight appearance at
Roland Garros, and he completed a career Grand Slam
in 2009, after three- straight
runner-up showings from
2006-08.
This could be the year
Novak Djokovic hears the
roar of the Roland Garros
crowd as he lifts La Coupe
des Mousquetaires. The
prestigious slam award presented to the men’s singles
champion of the French
Open is the only piece of
hardware that’s eluded the
world’s No. 1 ranked player.
Based on his performances in the buildup to the
French Open, Djokovic
could be in the best position of his career to unseat
Nadal. Djokovic has claimed
five of his last six matches
against Nadal since 2013,
with the 2014 French final
the only letdown. He most
recently swept the Spaniard
in straight sets on clay in
Monte Carlo last month.

be cringing when he saw the

Yup. Need I say it? Weed.

TMZ – moments like that are
what they’re praying for –
and they didn’t miss it. “You

behind the camera says with
barely hidden elation, knowing his go-nowhere, streetside interview, “How’s your

They’re running the movie
“Draft Day” on HBO. This
movie is a showcase of everything you dislike about all of
Kevin Costner’s other movies,
without any of the excitement or action of a sports
movie. Who’s idea was it to
base an entire movie on the
suits who run the sport without showing a single frame
of game action? Even
“Moneyball” brought you
some game tension. And
“Moneyball” had the excuse
of being based on the greatest book ever written about
sports executives. Billy Bean’s
real story was analogous with
a change in our way of thinking in the computer age, not
just the sports world. “Draft
Day” biggest moment is
when Kevin Costner trades a
bunch of draft picks. It’s
analogous to watching paint
dry. Wait – make that, watching obnoxious paint dry with
remarkable success.
One more thing about it. A

takes the stage, the audience
cheers.

The NBA is a little
relieved that at least one of
these semifinals series went
more than four games. Had
the Rockets not been able to
win at least one game
against Golden State, both
series would have ended up
4-0 sweeps, and there would
have been an eight-day gap
between the last game of the
semis and the first game of
the finals.
An eight-day gap is
enough to get into some
serious baseball, fishing and
yardwork for a full week and
still have another day for
catching up on DVRed episodes of “Game of Thrones”
and “Mad Men” to ensure
you’d completely forgotten
about basketball. I shudder
to think about how many
commercials the NBA would
have run to try to keep viewers from forgetting they
exist.
There were even rumblings that they might try to
reschedule the start date,
but in the end, they probably
wouldn’t have. The NBA
Finals might not be the
Superbowl when it comes to
event planning, but it’s not a
mere mid-season baseball
game either. The schedule
has to be flexible already
since it’s a seven-game
series, but still, shuffling
everything from TV coverage, hotels, caterers and
arena bookings, all the way
down to parking passes and
the ice bucket of Sprite in
LeBron’s hotel room is a little more than a pain in the
butt. And with each overtime
hour all the TV and NBA
people would work to make
it happen, viewer interest
would only wane further and
further.
So the Rockets did more
than beat the spread with
their 128-115 game 4 win
over the Warriors. They
saved the NBA from having
to decide between a logistics
nightmare and a sleep-induc-

‘Supergirl’ trailer actually
not an SnL skit
ABC has renewed
Marvel’s “Agent Carter” for
a season two. Star Hayley
Atwell has recently revealed
that season two will be set
in L.A. and consist of 10 episodes. At one time, this
news would have made me
happy, but since season one
of “Agent Carter” couldn’t
manage to go eight episodes
without going from promising to terrible I’m not optimistic about another round
of the show. “Agent Carter”
comes back in early 2016
during the winter hiatus of
Marvel’s “Agents of
S.H.E.I.L.D.,” but I plan to
skip it. Knowing my luck, it
will probably be much better
and I’ll miss out on it …
Speaking of superhero
shows, CBS released the
extended trailer for
“Supergirl,” which debuts
this fall. Did you recently
see the “Saturday Night
Live” trailer for the fake
movie “Black Widow: Age of
Me”? It was a hilarious look
at what a female-led superhero movie would be and
the result is rom-com nightmare. Well, the beginning of
this “Supergirl” trailer was
so similar to the “Black
Widow: Age of Me” trailer
that I couldn’t take the rest
of it seriously. Sure, there
eventually was flying, superspeed and things blowing
up, but it was hard to focus
on all that.
One thing I did notice is
that Jimmy Olsen is AfricanAmerican, but I’m cool with
that (#notaracist). I’m not so
cool with the fact that
Jimmy is now super-handsome, suave, and insists on
being called “James.” That’s
not the Jimmy Olsen I know
and love. Where are the suspenders and hideous bow
ties? The trouble with adapt-
Jennifer ellis
CoLUmnIST
ing Jimmy Olsen in general,
is that he such a product of
a bygone era that it’s hard
to update him without ruining everything that makes
Jimmy Jimmy. Such writers
as Grant Morrison and Nick
Spencer have demonstrated
how to modernize Jimmy
while staying true to the
character, and I hope the
show writers borrow a few
things from them. The
woman who plays Kara
seems pretty charming. Notso-charming is Calista
Flockhart’s completely inorganic “feminist” speech
about the word “girl” that
reeks of being a premature
rebuttal from the writers. If
you watch the trailer, just
roll your eyes and fast forward through that part.
Check out the trailer, or if
you’re feeling really dangerous, you can watch the
entire leaked pilot online. I
never view pirated videos
because I’m scared something bad could happen to
my computer, but to each
their own …
Anybody hear the recent
controversy surrounding
“Game of Thrones” and
how it treats certain female
characters? Sexual violence
is nothing new on the show,
but just like with real-life
situations, no one gives a
damn until it happens to a
rich, pretty, white girl …
I was recently asked (by
my dad) the immortal, ageold question, who is the better Captain: Captain
America, Captain Kirk or
Captain Crunch? This is a
tough one. Let’s break it
down.
Captain America
Pros: Super-strength;
good manners; awesome
taste in women; punched
Adolph Hitler in the face;
hates bullies; can withstand
being frozen. Cons: Old and
cranky; likes to lecture;
doesn’t keep his dancing
dates; fake dies a lot.
Captain Kirk
Pros: Is from the future;
has a cool space-ship; has
awesome middle name; likes
to throw down; can bellow
names dramatically. Cons: A
high body count on his missions; bit of an adventure
junkie; impossibly good at
his job.
Captain Crunch
Pros: Based on a real-life
17th Century poet-warlord;
his cereal comes with
crunch berries; rocks a mean
‘stache; is in the crazy eyes
hall of fame. Cons:
Corporate shill; his cereal
shreds your mouth; his big
hat is a classic case of overcompensating; what are
crunch berries exactly?
The Verdict: I’m going to
have to go with Captain …
Crunch. Those crazy eyes
are simply glorious.

and meanders its way
toward an underwhelming
conclusion.
Let’s get the worst
scene out of the way first.
At the 1964 World’s Fair,
young Frank (Thomas
Robinson) presents a
homemade jetpack to the
judge of an invention contest (Hugh Laurie). The
judge asks him what purpose of the jetpack serves.
Frank responds, “Why
can’t it just be fun?” The
line is supposed to paint
Frank as a wise, whimsical
dreamer. The problem is
that a jetpack is going to
have a much higher purpose than just fun. Frank
has theoretically revolutionized transportation
with a device that allows
man to fly independently
of an airplane, and here he
is assigning it the same
purpose as a pair of novelty chattering teeth. It’s
hard to take Frank seriously as a genius after
that.
The film manages to
pick itself up. Frank is
given a mysterious pin by
cryptic child Athena
(Raffey Cassidy), who
invites him to stealthily
follow her. He stows away
in a prototype of an iconic
Disneyland ride (ironically
one not located in the
Tomorrowland section of
the park) and winds up in
the intellectual paradise of
Tomorrowland. Flash forward to present day.
Teenage science-lover and
perpetual optimist Casey
(Britt Robertson, too old to
be playing a high-school
student) is given one of
the mysterious pins. The
pin gives her a vision of
Tomorrowland and she is
so entranced that she goes
on a cross-country adven-

ture to find out how to get
there. Eventually she
teams up with Athena, still
as cryptic and childlike as
ever, and an older, jaded
Frank (George Clooney),
who thinks that Casey
might just be the key to
saving humanity.
The trio does make it to
Tomorrowland around the
film’s two-thirds mark, but
the best stretch of the film
is the time between
Casey’s imagined trip and
the actual trip. The early
visions of Tomorrowland
are spectacular (think of
an entire city designed by
World’s Fair architects
with people dressed in the
most extravagant futuristic fashion), the three
characters are funny and
endearing in their chemistry, and we get some
mature action sequences
for a kids’ movie. Casey is
hunted by some evil
robots who turn intrusive
humans to dust, and Frank
doesn’t think twice about
absolutely brutalizing the
killing machines. Even
Athena takes a nasty hit
that’s shocking to see happen to a child. I’m not necessarily saying that kids
won’t be able to handle
this violence, just that violence is definitely present.
The movie winds up in
Tomorrowland, which has
lost its luster under the
leadership of Governor Nix
(Laurie). Nix has been
sending out a doomsday
prophecy to all of humanity, and rather than do anything about it, we’ve all
subconsciously chosen to
accept it. He, in turn, has
long since accepted that
we’re not going to do anything about it, so he’s not
going to do anything
about it either. But at least
our heroes are determined
to do something about it.
The message of the film is
that you shouldn’t just
accept that the world is
doomed, but you also have
to make an effort to save
it. It’s a good message
turned annoying by being
hammered in too frequently.
There were parts of
“Tomorrowland” where I
thought it was going to go
down as one of the best
movies of the year. It has
some of the best sequences of the year, especially
Casey’s initial vision of the
city (which is going to get
some Oscar nominations
for about two minutes of
screen time), but the
movie as a whole loses its
way toward the end with a
convoluted “mankind is
dooming itself” storyline
that you can get from any
number of recent action
movies. It’s an ambitious
movie that doesn’t quite
live up to its potential.

of Five.
“Tomorrowland” is
rated PG for sequences of
sci-fi action violence and
peril, thematic elements,
and language. Its running
time is 130 minutes.

Special to The Inyo Register
The Imagination Lab will
host another in its ongoing
series of artist chats on
Saturday, May 30 beginning
at 7 p.m., when stained glass
artist M. Skip Vasquez is slated to show and discuss her
work.
The community is welcome
to come and chat with
Vasquez, the most recent artist to join the exhibitors at
The Imagination Lab. TIL is
located at 621 W. Line St., Ste.
204 in Bishop, across the
street from Dwayne’s Friendly
Pharmacy.
During Saturday’s informal
chat, Vasquez will talk about
her journey, her process and
her inspirations as a professional stained glass artist and
teacher since 1990.
“My current work evolved
from a desire to recycle old
glass,” the artist said. As with
any art form, stained glass has
its challenges, among them
“finding truly unique materials to work with and varied
motivations to keep on creating. I have a lot of beautiful
and unique glass pieces that
need to find their way into
new artworks.”
Vasquez said that the “long
process” of bringing a piece
from conception to completion, includes, among other
things, grinding, soldering and
application of wire embellishment. “These days, I generally
work without patterns, starting with an interesting piece
of glass and designing around
it.”
In addition to inspiration
derived from “beautiful and
interesting glass, especially
antiques,” Vasquez said that
she is also fired up by “a variety of old glass masters, especially Harry Clarke, an Irish
artist not well known in the
U.S.”
Unsure exactly what led
her to the medium, Vasquez

House” will be sold at this Saturday’s artist chat.

said, “It just seemed to come
naturally and I love beautiful
glass … The source of my
curlicue affliction is unclear,”
she added.
Vasquez first took a stained
glass class in high school. That
turned into a passion while she
majored in Illustration and
Glass Design at California
State University, Northridge.
In 2014, Vasquez and her
husband, professional carpenter Erik Wolfe, relocated to
Bishop from Los Angeles “to
get away from the rat race and
to be closer to nature and rock
climbing,” a sport Vasquez
first embraced in 2001. Does
her work reflect her self-professed passion for nature and
rock climbing? “Not directly,
although I do believe that
being outdoors a lot helps one
appreciate lighting and color
perception.”
Vasquez’s stained glass art-
work will be on display through
Saturday, July 4 along with the
fine photography by Bob
Tyson and Richard Castillo.
Skip’s May 30 artist chat
will also open a raffle featuring her piece, “Red and Blue
Star House,” a striking, multicolored, streaked sky with
stars. Single artworks by
Tyson and Castillo will join
the raffle. All three winning
tickets are scheduled to be
drawn on July 4 at 5 p.m.
Raffle tickets will be available
May 30 through July 4, at TIL
or from one of the artists.
The Lab is open to the public from 2:30-5:30 p.m.,
Mondays through Fridays.
