Hospital board members said they are well aware of the issues in the hospital regarding personnel issues and nurses’ union organizing effort, refuting claims the hospital CEO was either misleading the board or not keeping the board fully informed of the situation. Members of the nurses’ union negotiating committee and members of the public made it clear during the comment period of the Wednesday board meeting See nih E Page 3 Victoria Alexander-Lane, Northern Inyo Hospital CEO Board of Ed approves $8.9 mil budget Approximately $1 million in projects to be funded with money from charter schools Ride of the night!

Vol. 145, Issue 74 approving the raise request of Treasurer-Tax Collector Alisha McMurtrie. With budget hearings approaching and a $1.8 million gap to close through cutbacks and other savings, the board was not eager to add to county expenses. Board Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Matt Kingsley gave McMurtrie his word, however, that he would keep her request in mind during upcoming discussions. “I appreciate you bringing this forward and am at this point willing to take it into consideration,” he said, noting he was not willing to approve any increases Tuesday. “I do want the opportunity to research it a little bit and think about it a little more before I take any action on it.” McMurtrie was specifically asking for an increase in her elected position’s base salary from $7,807 a month – the figure that’s included in county code – to $8,934 a month, for a 14 percent increase that See raise E Page 5 Lone Pine’s latest art addition captures cultural zeitgeist By Jon Klusmire Register Correspondent Vincent Leal at work on his social media-themed mural on the south wall of the Bonanza Restaurant in Lone Pine. The mural depicts real images from social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. Photo by Jon Klusmire A woman walked out of the Bonanza restaurant on Main Street in Lone Pine and headed to her car. She stopped when she saw the long, colorful mural on the south wall of the building. She pulled out her smart phone and snapped a quick photo before getting into her car. At the far end of the mural, artist Vincent Leal didn’t notice. He was sitting on a box, an array of tools and paint around him, focused on putting the final touches on the lettering on one of the mural’s seven panels. But the woman’s simple, impulsive move to take a photo and probably post it – on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat or Instagram – validated Leal’s See mural E Page 3 The Inyo Register 2 SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2015 obituary notices Wayne Harvier 1940-2015 Wayne Harvier, 74, passed away peacefully on Friday June 12, 2015, in Ontario, Calif., with wife, Norma Harvier, and his children by his side.

Caparison first embellished English in the 1500s, when we borrowed it from the Middle French caparaçon. Early caparisons were likely used to display the heraldic colors of a horseman, and in some cases may also have functioned as protective covering for the horse. In British India, it was elephants, not horses, that were decked out with caparisons— and to this day both animals can still be seen in such attire during parades and circuses. It did not take long for caparison to come to refer to the ornate clothing worn by a man or woman. Caparison also serves English as a verb, a use first recorded in Shakespeare when Richard III commanded, “Come, bustle, bustle; caparison my horse.” word of the day is sponsored by: Eva Gentry Bookkeeping [email protected] Ext. 206 Stephanie DeBaptiste Circulation Manager [email protected] Ext. 201 Terry Langdon Sales Representative [email protected] Ext. 220 Veronica Lee Sales Representative [email protected] Ext. 207 1180 N.

City council BISHOP – The Bishop City Council meets at 6 p.m. Monday at 301 W. Line St. The agenda includes the presentation of a plaque to retiring Police Lt. Fred Gomez, an update from the Bishop Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, a proposed ordinance relating to small residential rooftop solar energy contract and a possible parking workshop. Vincent Leal’s 53-foot-long by 15-foot-tall mural includes seven panels that are exact replicas of the layout and wording of smart-phone screen shots from Facebook, Instagram and other social media. Photo by Jon Kusmire mural Continued from front page concept and execution of his “social media mural.” In several ways, Leal’s mural is unique when compared to other building-sized murals in the Owens Valley. Instead of relying on grants or donations, Leal paid for the entire project, from paying a contractor to redo the exterior wall to buying paint and brushes, out of his own pocket. “It’s my gift to Lone Pine,” he said as he sat on the tailgate of his truck, which was brimming with paint, tools and markers, on an early Saturday evening. In addition, “funding it myself had so many benefits,” chief among them “having total artistic control.” Leal gathered community input and even some of the specific scenes in the mural from the very social media the mural depicts. He used Facebook to generate interest in the project and update followers on the mural’s progress, and staged a “photo contest” across all social media platforms, which resulted in people sending in photos of iconic Lone Pine scenes, some of which ended up on the mural. The result is “a multi-generational” mural, he said. Baby boomers and older folks can easily relate to the mural with its striking, colorful, painted scenes of the Lone Pine area and its main attractions, including the Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills, Mt. Whitney and ranch scenes. The younger folks will immediately recognize that the seven panels are exact replicas of the layout and wording of smart-phone screen shots from Facebook, Instagram and other social media, he said. Also setting the mural apart from most others are the topics for the artwork and the style. There are no people in the seven panels, and they do not depict a historical scene. They are straight depictions of landscapes. Leal’s style is also a bit different. Bold primary colors stand out from a distance, and on closer inspection, each scene or panel contains a level of detail rarely seen in murals that span an entire wall (the mural is 53 feet long and 15 feet tall). “The more intimate detail makes it interesting for the viewer both close in and from far away,” Leal said. The striking artwork Leal created is even more impressive when considering that he is pretty much a self-taught artist, and his full-time job is about as far removed from an artistic life as you can get. Since 1999, Leal has been working hundreds of feet off the ground as an electric transmission line lineman for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. As a “transmission line patrolman,” Leal, who lives in Lone Pine, can find himself working on high-voltage electric lines anywhere from Mono County to the Mojave Desert and the rest of the western U.S. He was able to use up his vacation time and devote most of the month of April to the mural. The only art classes the Montebello native has taken were at East Los Angeles College and through a correspondence course. However, as a teen, he won one of those “draw this bear” art contests, by enlarging it before working on it. That is the way murals are made, too. The rest of his art education came from working at some galleries, “reading a lot of stuff” and creating art, he said. Although he’s been creating art for about 20 years, it was only since moving to Lone Pine that he begin to understand and employ “the entrepreneurial aspects of art” to his passion, he said. In Lone Pine, that means engaging the community and visitors through social media and working with business, the high school and other building owners to create more than stand-alone murals or artworks. Leal has completed a number of other works in Lone Pine (at the Lone Pine Chamber Courtyard, the Athletic Complex, Lone Pine High School, Mt. Whitney Hostel and the Totem Café) as part of his “urban street art project.” And he has more plans and ideas in mind to add to the “unified art experience” that visitors and locals can enjoy in Lone Pine. Those big plans aside, Leal considered the large “social media mural” that will be an “anchor” for more community art projects, and declared, “I’m happy with it. I think it’s going to be a big hit.” And if smart-phone wielding visitors stopping to snap photos of the work are any indication, he’s right.

The board approved portions of the 2015-16 budget, and the administration and staff will be looking to close the nearly $4 million budget deficit in the coming months without resorting to raising prices at the hospital. The meeting began with nurses reading a statement that reiterated charges that Alexander-Lane was not negotiating in good faith with union representatives. The nurses and their union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, filed “unfair practice charges” with the state labor relations board last Friday, alleging Alexander-Lane “refused to bargain” with the Bargaining Committee regarding how the hospital’s current grievance, discipline and sick leave policies would be changed or otherwise incorporated into a contract with the nurse’s union. The statement also alleged that Alexander-Lane was not informing the board fully of the legal ramifications of the recent actions and was “misinforming you about the seriousness of our concerns.” The statement urged the board to “direct your CEO to bargain in good faith, cease and desist from discriminating” against the union organizers and “move quickly to an agreement with your Registered Nurses.” Chris Wickham, of the Inyo County Employees Association, said his union supported the nurses, adding union members in the valley “are a majority” and they vote. Dr. Eric Richman, a Bishop optometrist whose wife is on the union negotiating committee, said the hospital situation was “surreal,” and that “morale has never been lower.” “I have no ax to grind,” said Bishop businessman Todd Lembke, but he said the board has to “start paying attention” to the employee situation. “You can’t hide your heads in the sand forever.” “This board does not have its head in the sand,” responded Board Member Pete Watercott, adding that, by law, “personnel matters are confidential” and cannot be discussed at a public meeting. Board President M.C. Hubbard stated the board “is not going to negotiate union issues at a board meeting or in the newspaper.” “We are working” on all the concerns and issues raised, said Board Member Denise Hayden. “People need to take a breath and let us do our jobs.” In the next few months, the board will be working to balance the hospital’s 201516 budget, which totals about $75 million. Alexander-Lane said that in the past, NIH had simply raised prices to cover budget shortfalls, and that has led to the Eastern Sierra having “the highest price for healthcare” that she had seen in her career. Last year the hospital did not raise prices and eventually balanced the budget without salary cuts or layoffs. Alexander-Lane said she would not raise prices to make up the projected budget shortfall for 2015-16. “We’ll find $4 million and cut it” from the preliminary budget presented on Wednesday. “We’ll find ways to be more efficient and effective.” However, Alexander-Lane pointed out the budget cutting will be a challenge, because “there are not a lot of places to go” to find savings. Employee benefits are “expensive,” because of a defined-benefit retirement plan and because the hospital is “self-insured” for employee medical costs, Alexander-Lane pointed out. For example, the cost last year for employees’ and families’ prescription drug benefits was $250,000. Typically, benefits add 40 percent to salary costs, but at NIH the figure is about 80 percent. The budget shows $24.4 million in Salaries and Wages, and $19.4 million in Employee Benefits. The hospital is legally obligated to maintain a certain amount of money in the bank to back payment of the Members of the NIH nurses’ union and their supporters at Wednesday’s hospital board meeting held at Cerro Coso college to accommodate the large audience. Standing from left to right are nurses Vickie LaBraque, Laurie Archer and Gloria Phillips, who read a statement charging the hospital CEO with failing to bargain in good faith with the union. Photo by Jon Klusmire $50 million in bonds that financed the new hospital building, and must pay about $3.4 million in interest payments on those bonds this year, AlexanderLane said. The hospital also spends about $3.8 million a year for medical offices and other costs to support physicians and other providers, she said. At the meeting, the board approved payment of the $3.4 million interest expense, about $5.1 million for depreciation, and the $2.8 million HEALINGS Mind, Body & Spirit Therapeutic & Holistic MASSAGES Spring Face & Body Treatments Special Packages!

Overall, the proposed 2015-16 budget shows about $75 million in operating revenue from “patient services” and fund transfers. Operating expenses total about $72.8 million. But other expenses, such as the interest and doctor medical office costs, total $6.1 million, which puts the projected deficit at about $3.9 million. Taxpayers in the hospital district will pay about $533,000 in property taxes to support NIH. Benzodiazepines—named for their chemical structure—are among the most commonly prescribed medications in developed countries. They include alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), and lorazepam (Ativan). The most common uses of benzodiazepines are to treat anxiety and sleep problems. While effective for Dwayne Wilson both conditions, the medications have risks, especially when used over long periods. Long-term use can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms when discontinued. In older people, research has shown that benzodiazepines can impair cognition, mobility, and driving skills, and they increase the risk of falls. A new study in JAMA Psychiatry finds that prescription use of benzodiazepines – a widely used class of sedative and anti-anxiety medications – increases steadily with age, despite the known risks for older people. We are now compounding “all natural estrogen hormone replacement” as prescribed by your physicians. A new analysis suggests that women who use bisphosphonates – medications commonly used to treat osteoporosis and other bone conditions – have about half the risk of developing endometrial cancer as women who do not use the drugs. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study supports other research that has shown an anti-cancer effect of this type of medication.

Fax (760) 873-3591 From the Editor A ray of hope Here we go again, I thought. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Terry McAteer was professing his lack of trust and faith in The Inyo Register as a reason for not granting this publication interviews or even providing it with simple information he is freely offering up to everyone from blogs-in-print to the Bishop Lions Club. This time, his claim was in response to a Bishop couple asking him at Tuesday’s Board of Education whether the Register could attend a private sitdown McAteer just offered to have with the pair so that he could he address any and all concerns they may have. And while McAteer has made the lack of trust claim off and on since February – breaking only to cooperate with the Register in the publication of two articles on countywide projects initiated and/ or funded by the superintendent – this time members of the public weren’t letting it slide unchallenged. Gary Colbert noted that McAteer trusts the Register enough to advertise within its pages, to get his message out to his constituents. Jerry Winstead, former city manager, assistant Darcy Ellis city manager and director of development for places like the City of San Bernardino and the City opinion of Industry, questioned McAteer’s wisdom in refusing to speak with the number one source of news – hard news – in Inyo County. He said in his experience he’s dealt with plenty of media he didn’t get along with or necessarily like, but he talked to them anyway. By the end of public comment, that’s exactly what McAteer agreed to do. It is my understanding, and I hope Dr. McAteer is under the same impression, we will meet sometime in August – the objective being to put an end to the past several months of unnecessary conflict between his office and this newspaper, and lack of cooperation from him, the Board of Education and his staff. It is my hope that we can move forward in a spirit of cooperation and with the kind of full transparency that the Register has been asking for since February. It should be a great start to repairing a relationship upon which both McAteer’s office and the public depend for the exchange of vital information about our schools and related programs. And should this meeting result in the free flow of information, it will be the attainment of what this paper has been after all along – not a war of words, not name-calling, not dragging each other through the mud, but transparency with regard to the spending of our tax dollars. And you know what? Handouts provided to accompany budget talks on Tuesday were the most detailed and clearly defined as I’ve ever seen them from the Office of Education. Expenditures were divided into groups based on funding sources, costs were given and McAteer took the time to explain programs both new and old. It was awesome. And the board, it actually made motions and seconded those motions and called for approval of those motions like a real governing entity. Sure, the board members giggled some while doing it, but progress is progress. For anyone who cares about the sanctity of public office and transparency in government, Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting was a ray of hope. There were still some lowlights – including the approval of minutes from the May 19 meeting that included a motion that never took place, despite written objections beforehand; initial silence and then murky answers when Jerry Winstead asked whether students were meeting expectations under Inyo County’s education system; and the fact the meeting was held in the middle of the afternoon 45 minutes away from where the majority of the concerned taxpayers reside. But as for the board, here’s hoping they keep it up. And here’s hoping more members of the public continue to attend these meetings and pay attention to how these millions of dollars are being spent – and if these expenditures are being prioritized in a manner consistent with the Office of Education’s Mission Statement: “Working in partnership with school districts, other agencies, and families, the Inyo County Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools staff supports quality education for all students. Our responsibilities are to facilitate and communicate information, programs, and change; serve as an innovative role model; promote increased efficiency; and coordinate efforts.” See you in August, Terry.

Normally, I’m as incognito as the next guy as I stroll up and down the aisles, but this time I noticed people were looking at me as if I was doing something weird. Then there were the raised eyebrows and little smirks when folks surveyed Jon Klusmire the contents of my shopopinion ping cart. The odd looks started as soon as I started my sojourn. After busting through the doors, I was literally frozen for a few moments as I basked in the cold air pouring over my pointy little head. Air conditioning. What a treat. Other impatient shoppers weren’t as enthralled, it seems, and muttered for me to “get out of the way” or banged into me with their carts, which pretty much disrupted my air-conditioned Zen moment. First up: produce. It was watermelon and only watermelon, since it delivers a mouthful of water in every bite (thus the name, right?). Let’s make up for the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables with juice, shall we? Get some V-8, tomato, Clamato (sounds gross but these are desperate times), apple juice and cider (does anyone really know the difference?), orange, cranberry or cran-apple or any other combo, like mangoorange, or raspberry-apple, or blueberry-cumquat, or whatever. At this point, even “a juice-like drink” is good enough to go into the cart. TIP: Don’t look too closely at the labels, since most of this stuff is about 10 percent juice with enough added sugar to give a horse seizures but that’s OK, we’re after volume. Next aisle and we’re knee-deep in water. I grab enough to drown the horse that’s having seizures. First there’s just water, next is spring water, then natural spring water, followed by exotic island spring water. Then we have flavored water and sparkling water and sparkling water from Italy and flavored sparkling water, not to mention flavored vitamin water and mineral water, with and without natural and artificial flavors. Got one of each. And, just in case that’s not enough, I also grabbed a handful of flavored powders and crystals and powdered spritzers and other “additives” that give regular old, bland, nasty tap water some zip and flavor, and a healthy shot of sugar. (It’s just expensive KoolAid, right?) As I say out loud, “Remember, the goal is to flood the stomach and float the kidneys,” a young mother shields her child from me and starts walking away rather quickly. Speaking of flavored sugar water, we’re in the soda aisle. Here, my discriminating palette rules. It’s Squirt, since it is soda with a drop of grapefruit flavoring, it’s actually “juice.” Raspberry Snapple anyone? Of course. Get a six-pack, and half gallon of Arnold Palmer and a half gallon of green tea and a half gallon of regular tea and a couple gallons of no-calorie, decaf tea so you can experience the joy of drinking cold, colored water. Since we now have enough fluid to float a drowned, seizureprone horse, we can go ahead and pay and then bask in the air conditioning while pondering the arrival of summer.

The Inyo Register SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2015 5 raise budget Continued from front page would bring her compensation more in line with other elected officials running financial departments. On Tuesday, she clarified that her current salary is actually $7,953 after a recent, across-theboard Cost of Living Adjustment given to county employees, so the raise she was seeking was more like 9 percent. She also noted that, not counting that COLA, which will bring her current salary up to $8,122 on July 1, the Treasurer-Tax Collector has not had a raise since Nov. 14, 2006. In fact, McMurtrie said, she and Public Guardian/Administrator Patricia Barton are the only two elected officials to not receive a raise since 2006. While she admitted that it is the elected official’s responsibility to come to the board and ask for a raise, she said her position is nevertheless overdue for one. McMurtrie offered other reasons a pay increase was due. She told the board that, historically, the Treasurer-Tax Collector, Assessor and AuditorController salaries were aligned. The disparity only started growing in the mid-2000s as the latter two offices received raises and she didn’t. In addition to historical precedent, McMurtrie pointed out an agreement the previous board signed with the Elected Official Assistants’ Association that puts the assistants of the TreasurerTax Collector, Assessor and Auditor-Controller on the same salary level. She also noted that the assistant Treasurer-Tax Collector position makes 78 percent of her salary, while other assistants only make 69 percent what their department heads do. McMurtrie also pointed to the various advancements she’s made in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office since being elected, including offering credit card payments, automating various services and transitioning to full online banking – all while maintaining the average annual collection rate of 98 percent that her predecessor established. She said the assistant’s position is currently vacant and has been for some time, so the county could offset a pay increase through those savings, although she will at some point have to fill the position. Continued from front page County’s educational network under a contract whereby the ICOE provides business services and fiscal oversight to the innercity facilities. Therefore, attendance numbers at the charter schools are counted as part of Inyo County’s total, and local schools benefit from related funding and other pots of money originating at the Los Angeles charters. According to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Terry McAteer, Inyo County being able to benefit financially from the arrangement with the charter schools was the motivating factor in contracting with them. For example, the state provides the charter schools with about $1.1 million in Special Education funds. The students there range in age from 16 to 24 and “very few have Special Ed needs,” McAteer said. McAteer has previously described the charter school students as high school dropouts and at-risk youth being given their last chance at a high school education. By law, a school must have an Individualized Education Plan developed for each special needs student. If they don’t have the IEP, “we can’t spend” the money on them, McAteer said. That leaves about $500,000 in unspent Special Education funds for Inyo County, where the six school districts use that money to help cover their excess Special Education costs, he said. Specific uses for that $500,000 are primarily administrative and include: managing the Infant and Preschool Program for Handicapped Youth; managing the Special Education Local Plan Area; providing inservice and oversight to all districts and Special Education staff; interfacing with state and regional agencies supplying services to youth; and funding and managing the Special Ed services of Inyo’s three charter schools. The ICOE also uses some of the $500,000 to employ a behavior specialist and team of aides “to deal with elementary behavior issues,” according to a handout provided by Alisha McMurtrie Inyo County TreasurerTax Collector Although several supervisors praised McMurtrie’s work and thanked her for her dedication, they still had trouble with the timing. “For an elected official, it’s never a good time to come and ask for a salary increase … but to continue the disparity is not a good option,” McMurtrie said. She added, “It’s in the press that we have a deficit – we always have a deficit.” Supervisor Mark Tillemans said he wasn’t comfortable giving someone a raise just to make his or her salary the same as somebody else’s because that’s what was done historically. Tillemans did ask McMurtrie if she found any disparity between her current salary and the salaries of other TreasurerTax Collectors in the 15-county survey conducted last year, which he said was the disparity that mattered to him. She said no, but also reminded the board she feels the survey is not a true apples-to-apples comparison of offices, since job descriptions and workloads vary county to county. Tillemans said 9 percent – which McMurtrie explained was a 1 percent increase for every year she didn’t get a raise – is a significant increase all at once. McMurtrie countered that she was sure in those nine years, every other elected official besides her and Barton had received multiple raises. Nevertheless, at Tillemans’ urging, McMurtrie said she was open to a smaller increase. “Is there room for compromise? There’s always room for compromise,” she said. “But I do believe this position is long overdue for a raise.” Inyo County Board of Education members Lee Ann Rasmuson and David Hefner listen as Superintendent of Schools Dr. Terry McAteer provides an overview of the 2015-16 Office of Education budget Tuesday in Independence. Photo by Louis Israel McAteer at the meeting, and employs a countywide speech therapist and occupational therapist to service the school districts. The ICOE additionally uses Special Ed dollars to fund and manage the North Star Counseling Center, which was originally funded by a twoyear start-up grant that expired. In 2014-15, the ICOE used $65,000 in Special Education Local Plan Area Mental Health grant funding to keep it open. The center provides free counseling services, rendered by interns, to students, their families and the public at large. McAteer conceded the students do not have to be in Special Ed but noted the ICOE uses Special Ed dollars because they might one day end up in Special Ed. The ICOE also receives Average Daily Attendance revenue from the state based on how many students are attending the charter schools. According to McAteer, whenever he budgets this money, he makes sure it is a one-time expense because his theory is that the charter schools can be lost at any time. Current enrollment at the charter schools is at 2,100. The state pays $250 per student, giving Inyo County a total of $525,000 in ADA revenue from those schools. (Inyo County receives an additional $600,000 or so in ADA funds based on the local school enrollment.) None of it will be going to the charter schools in 2015-16. McAteer said where he spends the ADA money from the charter schools depends on the needs that are presented year to year. In 2015-16, McAteer plans to spend the charter schools’ ADA money to fund 50 percent of Lo-Inyo Middle School’s new science center ($200,000) and 50 percent to fund Bishop Union High School’s new technology center ($300,000). The ICOE does spend 70 to 80 percent of its Charter School Business Services Revenue on the charter schools, according to McAteer. The ICOE stands to bring in $978,000 in the 2015-16 budget by charging the schools a 5 percent fee for providing those business services. The vast majority, McAteer said, is spent on providing the business services for 25 sites and 190 employees. The ICOE also fiscally manages breakfast and lunch pro- grams at all 25 sites; funds the Rancho Cucamonga Charter business office staff and site; funds stipends for the ICOE Business Services Division; funds travel costs for ICOE board members, McAteer and staff to visit the schools; funds two staff positions at the YouthBuild main office; funds college trips for charter sites; funds YouthBuild staff appreciation activities and awards; and funds YouthBuild visits to the Sierra Adventure Center. In 2015-16, the ICOE will also be using some of the proceeds to reseal the parking lots of its Independence and Bishop offices ($10,000) and install a new countywide Voice Over Internet Protocol phone system ($50,000). Board member David Hefner, in one of the few instances a board member spoke during the budget discussion, noted the VOIP is expected to result in substantial cost savings, as much as 50 percent. Aside from the programs and projects funded with charter school money, the ICOE will be working with a $5.8 million General Fund balance in 2015-16 to cover the lion’s share of expenditures. The balance, according to McAteer, shows an increase of $19,803 over last fiscal year. Of the 72 programs and projects listed on a handout provided by McAteer, 34 cost less than $1,000 – excluding labor costs – and 10 are funded by the state as mandates that must be carried out by the ICOE. Two are grant-funded. Other General Fund expenditures range from $2,000 for an “Eighth Grade Day” at Cerro Coso College, to $60,000 for the Inyo Council for the Arts’ to coordinate arts education (under the direction of new School Arts Coordinator Debbe Eilts, who has apparently replaced Liz McAteer), to $200,000 to help the Big Pine Unified School District build a new preschool since the current site has been declared non-compliant with state earthquake standards. More details about the General Fund programs and projects will appear next week in The Inyo Register. Tristan’s Story On March 23, at about 5:25 p.m., we got a phone call that no parent wants to get. Our 12-year-old son, Tristan, had been badly hurt in a bicycle accident. He told us he was having trouble walking and breathing. Our hearts sank – we rushed to pick him up and took him straight to Northern Inyo Hospital’s (NIH) emergency room. You Asked, We Listened ANNOUNCING... NIH VA Liaison Lorie Thompson, Patient Representative, has been named our VA Liaison. She is excited to help local veterans to access healthcare in their community. Lorie has 16 years experience working with patients & is here to assist you with the new CHOICE Program.

Thank you for your service to our country! Tristan was admitted to NIH for about a week. From our first encounter at the ER, we knew we were in good hands. In our rush to get to the hospital, we left Tristan’s insurance card behind, but the ER clerk straightened everything out – this was so reassuring in a time of crisis. The doctor and surgeon were professional and caring, plus they spoke to our son in his own language, in a way he could understand, and they explained everything. Every step of the way, everyone was so involved – CT Scan, X-Ray, Respiratory, Nursing and Dietary – literally a whole team of skilled people working with us to help our son get better. The NIH healthcare team also took care of our family, as well. Their skill and compassion alleviated our fears, giving us a sense of comfort. Our son is doing great now – thanks to everyone at NIH. We are proud of our community hospital and would recommend it as the healthcare provider of choice to our friends and family. We want to send a big thank you to all of the wonderful staff that helped our family. We won’t forget you.

Photo submitted Avian adventure for Owens Valley students Students learn about birds from a special guest and field trip Register Staff Before summer vacation, Owens Valley School students in the third and fourth grades received an introduction to birding from Bart Godett of the Eastern Sierra Audubon Society. According to teacher Rose Todd, Birds in the Schools Program was offered to acquaint students with the common birds of the Owens Valley. It consisted of one classroom session and one field trip for each participating class. Prior to the field trips, Godett, an Audubon volunteer, presented a PowerPoint presentation about birds’ adaptations, migration and habitats. Students then had an opportunity to discuss, share their own experiences and ask questions. According to Todd, the class field trip was to the Upper Gray Meadow Campground out of Independence for maximum viewing of birds. Audubon provided child-size binoculars and training in their proper use for each student during the field trips and students learned about and used birding field guides. The students saw a dozen different birds, a deer eating on Rose hips, lizards and identified numerous plants. Todd’s class thanked Mr. Godett for taking time away from his busy job to offer “this stupendous program” to the students. Register Staff Bishop businessman Jose “Jay” Jiminez was placed on five years of formal felony probation during a sentencing hearing this week and ordered to serve 240 days in the Inyo County Jail for embezzling from a nowdeceased client who had given him power of attor- ney. According to District Attorney Tom Hardy, Jiminez must serve an actual 90 days, and may apply for electronic monitoring for the balance of his sentence. The court set restitution in the amount of $79,449.76. Jiminez is also forbidden from acting as a fiduciary and from managing money or property on behalf of other individuals during the term of his probation, and may not engage in the tax preparation business, according to Hardy. The case against Jiminez originated in August 2012, when the Ombudsman’s Office received a complaint on behalf of the victim and a criminal investigation was initiated by the Bishop Police Department. The investigation discovered that in November 2011 Jiminez was granted power of attorney by the victim in the case. This gave Jimenez access to the victim’s bank and credit card accounts, Hardy said. “Jimenez used the power of attorney to pay bills for the victim; but he also used the accounts to fund his businesses, Jimenez Tax Chatsworth until 1960 when her family moved to South Lake Tahoe.

Jimenez received $17,000 and a 2004 Hummer valued at approximately $23,000. Hardy said he apparently pocketed the cash – records indicate it was not deposited into any account owned by the victim – and took possession of the Hummer.

The Inyo Register RELIGION 8 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 From the Pulpit Curry and James The NBA finals will be complete upon your reading of this article. I am intentionally writing it before the outcome to comment on incredible gifts of athleticism. You may not be a fan of the NBA or of basketball, for that matter. You may like hockey, baseball, football, art, music or hiking much more than basketball. Athletic gifts are from God whether people worship God or not. Curry shoots threepointers like there is no tomorrow and James drives to the basket in authority unlimited. Lebron James is called the best player and Golden State Warriors the best team in the Golden State. Each offers the fan opportunities for maximum applause. Whoever has won championships must at some time bow down before the Giver of all gifts. He who is the tallest becomes the smallest for you. He who made sky and sea became the One who died on the tree. There He absorbed all your guilt, pride, lust, idolatry and everything you have committed and omitted. When we are at our worst, He is at His best. When you go astray, and you do an awful lot, remember in Him you have everything that God has taught: amazing grace. On the cross two unnoted stars died next to Him. One unknown star said “No” to Jesus, the other “yes” Rev. Kent Puls Columnist by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lebron James and Stephen Curry are dominant talent but their strength comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. May our confidence be in Him for temporal life and everlasting life. When we know the only Star, the Son of God, our lives take the shape of poetry in motion and service to neighbor. See you Sunday. (The Rev. Kent Puls serves both Grace Lutheran and Mammoth Lakes Lutheran churches. Grace Lutheran Church is located at 711 N. Fowler St., Bishop.

By the Creek Grow up humbly By Sarah Bradfield On my last birthday, I couldn’t help but feel I was at a crossroads. Am I an adult? If yes, when did this momentous occasion occur? I began facetiously asking friends, “When did you feel like you were finally an adult?” only to be met with chuckles and knowing nods. C.S. Lewis said, “Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term cannot be adult themselves.” Becoming spiritually mature appears to be a growing appreciation of how little one knows while craving to increase in knowledge of Christ and application of His Word. Christians are to have a childlike dependence upon God while simultaneously maturing. These ideas are not mutually exclusive; they work in tandem in a humble spirit. The disciples, who shooed away the children from coming to Christ, behaved childishly when they argued amongst themselves who the greatest was. Jesus’ response was to bring forth a child and use him as the example of greatness. In God’s economy “ … let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.” Beginning with that spirit of humility opens the door for maturity. Yet how does one reconcile Christ’s esteem for children in this passage with other scriptures which tell us to not think like a child, to not remain living on milk like a child, and to ultimately give up childish ways? My argument is being childlike doesn’t equate with being childish. The church demonstrates its childish thinking and behavior when it is tumultuously tossed to and fro by whatever doctrine suits their liking, ultimately forsaking their ability to mature. In Luke 7, Christ describes the people of His generation like children. The religious leaders were in one breath condemning John the Baptist for being too ascetic and in the other condemning Christ for being a glutton and drunkard. Christ characterizes them as children singing a song of derision, “We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.” Jesus was describing a child who wants others to “dance to their tune.” Those who were excellent at keeping the law were impossible to please. So the impetus of maturity is a humble and contrite heart. From there, the power of the Holy Spirit along with knowledge of the Word is able to work. Then we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. We put on love. We endure suffering. We become an effectual doer of the Word. We attain the unity of the faith. Step by step the Lord is refining, molding, and pruning us to perfection. And yet, Jesus in His last hours, cried out, “Abba! Father!” He addresses the Father as Abba which communicates intimacy and dependence. In whatever circumstance we find ourselves in, may our reliance upon the Father be evident! Unfortunately, I never received a sufficient answer about when I will really feel like a grown-up. Yet I believe that regardless of how many milestones of adulthood I complete, that isn’t where my maturity lies. It lies in being teachable and then taking what I’ve learned to teach others. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). Grow up humbly because there is no other way you can.

Make up your mind The potential for greatness and success has been with you from the very beginning of your life. Those that have harkened to the still, small voice within them have prospered in many ways. Dreams and ideas have filtered through their minds and they have acted on them and brought forth something new and valuable. Those that failed to act stayed in the same place or less. Always there is decision. We all have the power of choice. We may become decisive or we become fearful of decision, but that is still a decision. Mentally, it takes the same amount of mental activity to fail as it does to succeed. In Religious Science we say, “There is only One Mind and that is the Mind of God, and we are all using It.” We are all using the same mind, but many use It negatively. Failure is the success of the indecisive mind. Robert Schuller said, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” Likewise; with choice, “Those that fail to choose, choose to let others choose for them.” Raymond Charles Barker says, “Indecision is actually the individual’s decision to fail.” Paul said, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” It is normal for a child to let others make many of the choices for them, but when you come into the knowledge of the Intelligence within you, it is time to become decisive. It is fine to consult with others, and even listen to their advice, but the final decision and the action to follow come through you. Life responds to your decisions by corresponding. Some people are indecisive all of their lives, not knowing what to do or when to do it. Whether there was parental domination or some other reason a child is not permitted to make decisions is usually the cause, but regardless, indecision can be overcome. It takes work, but it is well worth it, and you will Rev. Walt Sharer Columnist finally be what you can be, and not leaning on the consciousness of others. Originality of thought awaits your call. You exist in and are part of the originating universal Mind. Once you declare that you are spiritually equipped to be an original thinker, ideas will come to your mind. Even if these ideas don’t fit your usual way of thought, do not reject them! All of the law and order is available to you. The use of affirmations is a powerful tool in becoming decisive. Some examples are: “I know what I need to know at the instant I need to know it,” “Original thinking pervades my consciousness, and I am correctly decisive in all matters,” “Infinite Intelligence in me knows what to do, and this knowledge is mine at every instant.” Personally, anytime I was utilizing affirmations, I would write them down on 3X5 cards and tape them where I would most likely see them on at least a daily basis.

From John 3, what does Jesus say that everyone practicing evil hates? The light Truth The Lord Believers 3. Who found an Ethiopian eunuch sitting in a chariot reading the words of Esaias (Isaiah)? Ahaz Philip Jotham Uzziah 4. From Joshua 2, where did Rahab hide Israelite spies? Under table In cave On roof With oxen 5. What did Jesus send into a herd of swine? Unclean spirits Justice Breath of life Mighty wind 6. Who was the father of Solomon? Nathan Uriah Judas David ANSWERS: 1) Old 2) The light 3) Philip 4) On roof 5) Unclean spirits 6) David Destiny is in His hands Sometimes the only way we will open our eyes to what God is willing to do for us is to be in a position where we realize we can no longer do for ourselves. For many that is called hitting bottom. James acknowledges this when he writes to the persecuted church. But he does not stop with the recognition that it can happen. Given what has been discussed so far concerning the state of the human heart, he seems to regard hitting bottom as inevitable for many of us. His advice when it does come, would shock most of us. “Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious” (James 4:9). How serious? And in what way? “Get down on your knees before the Master.” Why? “It’s the only way you’ll get on your feet” (James 4:10). Whoa! The first act we are supposed to do when we hit bottom is to throw ourselves at the feet of God? We are supposed to trust God in order to get our lives straightened out? Well, yeah! Before anyone decides to laugh that idea off, there are other worthwhile questions that need to be asked. Just who was in charge when you hit bottom? When you were in control, how was that working out for you? Let me apologize. I was too direct. James made his point in quite another way. He got practical about who is really in control. “And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, ‘Today – at the latest, tomorrow – we’re off to such and such a city for the year. We’re going to start a business and make a lot of money.’ You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing” (James 4:13-14). Catch that? As much as we Columnist plan, as much as we think we have our course plotted and laid in, we have no control over outside circumstances. We cannot fully dictate our lives, even less so the lives of others, though their actions may directly impact our own. Plainly put, “God is in charge of deciding human destiny. Who do you think you are to meddle in the destiny of others” (James 4:12)? Hmm, I guess James was being direct. Thing is, James did not really let up. He ended this section of his letter pounding his points home. Being full of oneself is wrong. Knowingly and deliberately being full of oneself is even more so. Break that cycle of self-gratification and self-importance by forming a new habit. Put God first. As was already said, “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track” (Proverbs 3:5-6). God’s love will never let us down!

This includes fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and those who have stepped in as father figures for children who need them. Bless you all. Having a caring father is not only one of life’s great joys, but fathers also are tremendously important to a child’s emotional, academic and moral development. Studies have shown that children who maintain close relationships with loving fathers do better in school and are more likely to stay off drugs. Please take the time today to let yours know you are thinking of them. Dear Annie: Please urge your readers, both male and female, to pay more attention to men’s health. Women’s health gets a great deal of attention all year, but men’s health is rarely promoted. Men’s life expectancy still lags almost six years behind women’s. Many women are negatively affected by men’s poor health and early deaths. Women should urge the men in their lives to get annual physical checkups at the doctor’s office, eat better and get more exercise. And men should listen to that good advice. I am a man who cares about my health and men’s health in general. Please help, Annie. Thanks. – A Men’s Health Advocate in Texas Dear Texas: Your letter is the perfect reminder on Father’s Day for all men to make an appointment for a KATHY & MARCY full medical checkup. Schedule that prostate exam or colonoscopy you’ve been putting off. Get a gym membership and use it, play basketball with some friends, or take a 30-minute walk each day. Pay attention to what you eat. The women in your lives want you to be around for a long time. Dear Annie: I am responding to “Evil Stepmother,” whose husband didn’t want to attend his daughter’s wedding because he wasn’t going to walk her down the aisle. We had the same situation. My stepdaughter called her father to tell him that her maternal grandfather was going to give her away. For three weeks, my husband struggled with whether or not to attend and finally decided to not go because it would have been too painful for him. I would have supported either decision. But three years later, his daughter humbly came to visit and explain that her mother had pushed her to do this and begged her father’s forgiveness. When my daughter married, she faced this same choice. What she decided, all on her own, brought tears to our eyes. Both her father and her stepfather walked her down the aisle, one on each arm. It was beautiful and respectful. This special day should not be used to lash out. – Vermont Lady Dear Vermont: Many readers mentioned that brides could have both the father and stepfather walk them down. Others suggested having the stepfather walk the bride halfway and the father the rest of the way (or vice versa). These are wonderful solutions. Weddings should bring families together, not drive them further apart. Annie’s Snippet for Father’s Day: “My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’” – Michael Jordan Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

New relationships move to new levels, while long-standing partnerships are strengthened. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A recent workplace problem will prove to be one of miscommunication, and once the matter is settled, you should have a better chance of getting your proposals approved. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good news! After dealing pretty much in the dark with a matter that seemed to be taking forever to resolve, you should soon be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

A cool approach is the best way to handle things. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Nursing hurt feelings could keep you from learning what went wrong. Ask your partner, a family member or a trusted friend to help you reassess your actions in the matter. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Nature is dominant this week. Try to spend time outdoors with someone special. An act of kindness in the past might be recalled by a person you believed was out of your life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An upcoming career decision could be based on how well you might be able to apply your artistic talents. Be sure to use the finest samples of your work to make a strong impression. BORN THIS WEEK: Doing good things for others comes easily to you. You are considered a good friend, even by those you might hardly know. The Inyo Register EASTERN SIERRA HISTORY SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 13 The well-dressed woman on the trail The first rays of sun touch a Sierra peak; on the edge of a meadow backpackers stir, pulling on their clothes for another day on the trail. There are jeans, tank tops, plaid shirts, rugged pants with multitudinous packets, moisture wicking underlayers, T-shirts bearing cryptic messages, even a few hardy souls in shorts, assured the cool of the morning will quickly dissipate. We notice oddities in costume: an Englishman wearing a tie, leg warmers, flip-flops with socks. What we do not consciously notice is that women and men are wearing the same things; long before fashion designers discovered unisex, backpackers arrived at that practical conclusion. Marty Voght Columnist A century ago things were quite different. Back then, when men and boys gathered at trolley stops to catch a flash of sensuous ankle, what women wore in the mountains brought on serious discussions. How could a female keep her modesty, yet travel securely on Sierra trails? The clothing problem began in 1841, when the first AngloAmerican woman, Nancy Kelsey, crossed the Sierra Nevada. We have no record of her costume, but since she survived, we can be sure it was not the outdoor costume of the lady of fashion at that time: corset, camisole, drawers down to her ankles and five petticoats covered by a dress that brushed the floor, plus bonnet and shawl. Some women bound for California in the Gold Rush noted in their diaries that they had shortened their skirts to “wash-day” length, a few inches off the ground, to prevent wear and tear on the hem. But many a female arrived in Sacramento with tattered skirts exposing an unladylike expanse of shin. Mountain-bound women got a new choice in the 1850s, when Amelia Bloomer popularized the outfit named for her: trousers worn under a skirt reaching slightly below the knee. Bloomer costumes were not uncommon on the overland trails. Their chief disadvantage came from the ridicule they elicited from young men and boys on street corners, and righteous condemnation from pulpits. Regardless, the Bloomer hung on among active women and remained the model for female mountaineering garb for more than 50 years. In 1901, William E. Colby became the arbiter for women’s clothing in the Sierra. Colby organized the first Sierra Club outing, and as leader had to advise participants on proper dress. His outings bulletins unwittingly chronicle a revolution in women’s wear. According to Colby’s notice for the first Sierra Club high trip, women should have two long-sleeved blouses, a sturdy one for tramping through the high country and a lighter one for wearing around camp. Kneehigh, lace-up boots were to meet dark-colored bloomers (now meaning full pants). Over the bloomers he advised that Madame Hiker wear a skirt “not more than halfway from knee to ankle,” or, if she planned to ride a horse, a divided skirt. “It would be unsafe to ride otherwise than astride on portions of the trip and no side saddles will be provided.” All participants needed a broad brimmed hat, but women were to add a heavy veil to protect their faces from unladylike sunburn. Since women at the turn of the 20th century piled their long hair atop their heads, these large hats were secured by hat pins thrust through the crown and the mass of hair. Colby suggested that women might want low shoes to wear around camp, but in that case they should also wear leggings, tubes of stout cotton or light canvas extending from knee to shoe. As an alternative, they might bring puttees, a strip of cloth wound around the lower leg, which had a tendency to loosen and unwind, settling around the foot like a friendly snake. Obviously, in 1901, no woman was expected to travel light. Fortunately, on the Sierra Club trips, mules toted the luggage, and more fortunately still, a Chinese laundryman accompanied the group. Colby’s choice of words concerning skirt length proved confusing. By “no more than halfway from knee to ankle,” did he mean, 1) no shorter than halfway to the knee to mitigate male palpitations, or 2) no longer than halfway to the ankle so the wearer did not tread on her hem on steep trails? In 1903 he clarified the matter by advising skirts “not many inches below the knee.” For years this seemed to be the accepted mode of dress for women in the Sierra. They hiked the trails of Tuolumne Meadows in long-sleeved blouses, climbed Mount Whitney in skirts, and ascended the glaciers of Mount Lyell shadowed by thick veils. But there are hints in the outings bulletins of problems caused by women’s fashions. First came the thundering directive, THERE SHALL BE NO HAT PINS IN DUNNAGE BAGS! What happened the previous A 1902 Sierra Club High Trip included men in pants and jackets and women in long shirts and blouses, their long hair piled on top of year to bring about such an emotional outburst? The trip reports contain not a whisper, but the mind whirls with possibilities. Was an innocent packer disemboweled as he tossed duffle? Did a mule fly down the Kern River Canyon, bucking and screaming, spilling sugar and beans in a futile attempt to escape a dagger in his ribs? Whatever occurred, it burned in the memory of beholders, for well into the 1920s every outings bulletin warned of HAT PINS IN DUNNAGE BAGS. By this time photos from High Trips show svelte flappers, hair so minimal there was nothing for a hat pin to grab, but Colby took no chances. Early in the second decade of Sierra Club outings comes a hint of near disaster on a mountain, for in 1914 Colby suggests that knickerbockers replace bloomers and skirts. Knickers were “essential for the more difficult mountain climbs where skirts are dangerous to wear.” Did some poor woman entangle herself in her voluminous skirt while attempting Mount Brewer on the 1913 outing? Or did some unfortunate man step on dragging fabric on the way down, and suddenly find his legs pulled out from under him? The mind conjures scenarios, none of them pleasant to contemplate. Once Colby mentioned knickers, the floodgates seemed to open and the leader lost all control. By 1920 he had to admit that many women wore knickers for the entire trip “to the exclusion of skirts.” For the following eight or nine years skirts glided in and out of the clothing lists, like ghostly wraiths, some years dead and gone, in others recommended if they came “only a few inches below the knee.” During this same period the Chinese laundryman seems to have found a better job, and their heads in buns. Photo courtesy University of California/San Joaquin Valley Library System As leader and organizer of the first Sierra Club outings, William E. Colby, seen here at the club’s headquarters in Yosemite in 1898, became the arbiter for women’s clothing in the Sierra. His outings bulletins unwittingly chronicle a revolution in women’s wear. Photo by Ansel Adams/courtesy Yosemite National Park women were told to bring their own “Fels-Naptha” to wash their clothes. American enterprise responded quickly to the woman-in-themountains phenomenon and within a year of the first Sierra Club trip, businesses began marketing “outings suits.” They reflected exactly what the bulletin described: bloomers, longsleeved blouses, and below-theknee skirts. One manufacturer added a fashionably cut short coat and a tiny, ridiculous Alpine bonnet that would have in no way protected against high altitude sun. Women must have chosen practicality over fashion, for soon the “outings suit” included a wide hat, much like what rangers now wear. The models in the ads became more obviously active, and finally one appeared with a sheath knife at her belt and a fishing pole in her hand. As the skirt market dried up, designers tried new approaches. One company went to the expense of hiring Gloria Swanson to model their “outing suit” of tight breeches, topped with a long, form-fitting coat that ended several inches above the knee. Another designer, hesitant to dump the skirt entirely, marketed “a good Sierra Hiking Suit,” complete with sport shirt, breeches and a skirt that could do double duty as a cape. The “outings suit” evaporated in the radiant glow of the Roaring Twenties, votes for women and the demise of the corset. Flappers raised their skirts to show a great deal of thigh and donned pants when the occasion demanded. In photos of mountain trips from the 1920s, no skirts are in sight. The outings bulletin of 1930 finally abandoned sexual dimorphism in clothing: men and women were to have a stout hiking outfit, with an extra pair of trousers or knickers, a flannel shirt, and a sweater, windproof jacket or parka. It had taken 29 years to banish hat pins, dark veils, bloomers, high boots, and skirts from the wilderness, and no one can regret their passing. The laundryman, on the other hand, just might be worth reviving. (Marty Voght has, through a long life in history, written scholarly articles, film scripts, humor, and romance novels. She finished her master’s degree in the history of Western America at Cali State Northridge, and has studied various topics in European history at University of Oxford. She lives in Aspendell.) In the 1850s, Amelia Bloomer popularized the outfit named for her: trousers worn under a skirt reaching slightly below the knee. Bloomer costumes were not uncommon on the overland trails after that.

By the mid-1920s, women in the outdoors were wearing what men wore: knickerbockers or trousers, abandoning the convention and impracticality of skirts altogether.

Box 485) Bishop, CA 93515 Telephone: 760-872-1101 (IR 6/16, 6/20, 6/23/15, #11726) The Inyo Register mountain report 18 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 The author’s son Kevin admiring Half Dome from the summit of North Dome in Yosemite National Park. Photos by Craig Jackson Heading down from the flat area to the rounded summit of North Dome. Sierra Sojourns Great valley views from North Dome (Hiked on Aug. 28, 2014) Most people would probably agree that Half Dome is the main attraction and most photographed object in all of Yosemite. But the main trail to the summit of Half dome is an immensely popular trail to a impressive monolith visible from just about every spot in the park. The main trail to its summit is always crowded in the summer as is the trailhead in busy Yosemite Valley. If you’re looking for a fantastic view of Half Dome, Cloud’s Rest and Yosemite Valley, without having to deal with the vacation crowds, the hike to North Dome should be considered wholeheartedly. To reach the trailhead from Lee Vining, drive west on California State Route 120 for 22 miles, or 13.6 miles west of the Tuolomne Meadows Visitor Center to the Porcupine Creek Trailhead parking area on the left. As with other trailheads on Tioga Pass Road, this one can be tough to find if not paying attention. Look for a restroom and a large wooden trailhead sign. Start hiking on a wide lumber road that initially descends for a few hundred yards until it turns Craig Jackson Columnist into the signed Porcupine Creek Trail at a junction with other trails heading east and west. Continue ahead in a southerly direction through a thick, beautiful forest of pine and majestic red fir. These are almost the same as Douglas fir but the bark is red in color. The hike continues now on a somewhat-level trail about a mile-and-a-half before coming to another junction. The Snow Creek Trail veers left to Yosemite Valley through Tenaya Canyon; stay to the right to a second junction a few yards ahead. The right fork goes down to Yosemite Falls but you’ll take the trail to the left that starts a moderate uphill climb on Indian Ridge. Cross a small stream, turn left and climb up the hillside on well-marked trail to a saddle on Indian Ridge and another junction at three miles in. Go left at the marked junction to visit the magnificent Indian Ridge Natural Arch at 8,500 feet, which just happens to be the only natural arch in Yosemite. It’s a short, steep quarter-mile diversion hike to this incredible rock formation, do not miss it. Return back to the trail junction, turn left and start the last 1.5 miles to North Dome. The trail now makes its way up and the trees clear as you reach a flat area. For some people it’s easy to think this clear, rounded granite area is North Dome, but it is not, North Dome is down there! Look for a large tree on the left and the trail right next to it as it heads steeply downhill from Indian Ridge. After hiking down a few hundred feet through some low brush on the eastern side of the ridge above Tenaya Canyon, the trail now makes a pretty straight shot onto the northern granite stretch of North Dome, dropping more than 600- feet in the process. Eventually you’ll reach a small saddle between North Dome and Indian Ridge where you are only one-quarter mile and 100 feet below North Dome. Climb up this short incline and then prepare yourself for some breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree views of Yosemite. Find a perfect spot atop North Dome, break out the lunch and soak in the sweeping vistas of Half Dome across Tenaya Canyon, Cloud’s Rest to its left, Glacier Point due south, Merced Canyon to its left and Yosemite Valley directly below to the right. After spending quality time and taking plenty of pictures from North Dome, return the same way you came but remember there will be some uphill hiking on the return. At a glance: • 8.8 miles round trip to North Dome; add a half-mile to Indian Arch • 650 feet of elevation gain but there are plenty of ups and downs in between and on the return; save some energy for the hike back to the trailhead • Parts of trail exposed to sun, apply plenty of sunscreen • Bring your camera and take plenty of memorable pictures • Whoa Nellie Deli has great food and fun if returning back towards Lee Vining and U.S. Highway 395 (Craig Jackson is a Bishop resident and avid hiker/backpacker who enjoys exploring his new backyard after having relocated here in 2013 from Southern California. Email him at Sierracj51@gmail. com.) reader reflections Flash, boom, swooshshshsh! May 22, 2015 One of the most wonderful sights and sounds in the High Sierra is the thunderstorm. As a devoted long-range forecaster, I expect we will see more than usual thunderstorm activity in the three months ahead. Actually I first thought this back in December. Some long-range forecasts are made on the basis of ocean temperatures; others on the basis of statistical patterns over the calendar years. I rely on the latter. Eventually the patterns of atmospheric water movements over the globe and time have to balance out. Drought is balanced by floods elsewhere as we have seen lately. No surprise. Drought is also balanced by future storm periods as I think we are beginning to see now. This does not mean our drought is ending, nor that water shortages are no longer a serious problem. In our world over time both are the norm, made worse by global warming and population growth. A little basic meteorology: thunderstorms usually occur in the afternoon or early evening and also in the middle of the night. Both timings are the result of a steep temperature “lapse rate” with altitude. In other words, air near the earth surface is warmer than usual relative to air in the upper atmosphere (troposphere). This can happen because the earth surface gets hot during the day or because the upper atmosphere cools a lot during the night. I have experienced night storms both in the High Sierra and driving across Nebraska. In Nebraska the rain was coming down so fast, it was hard to tell where the pavement was. However, the storms cleared, and in the early morning the wet green hills and glowing pink highway across Iowa provided one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had. So, don’t fear the flash or flee the swoosh and its beautiful aftermath. Go prepared for heavy, usually brief rain. Be careful where you pitch your tent. A seemingly shallow basin can flood your tent in the middle of the night. I’ve seen it happen to a famous meteorologist, also inexperienced camper, and his family at Upper Lamarck Lake. Lightning requires some discipline. I have turned back short of the summit plateau on Mt. Darwin. The flash never came, but that same day two people were killed by lightning on the cable route on Half Dome in Yosemite. Of course, lightning may strike a tall tree, and you don’t want to be under a large limb that comes crashing down. There are many kinds of lightning and electrical displays. Over the years in the highcountry you may see an amazing variety of phenomena. This is one reason I prefer to spend the night in a clear plastic tube rather than a tent. I have seen some amazing things my neighbors have missed, like bright balls of electricity rolling along a ridgetop while camped along Rush Creek. – Michael Loughman, Bishop Name That Eastside View Dan Luzny was the only reader to correctly identify last week’s View as Dusy Basin with Isosceles Peak in the center and Columbine Peak on the right.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, or barricaded in front of a 15,000 BTU air conditioner in your home, you’ve seen these teens and their families in town, some in hotels, some camped out at the fairgrounds, shopping at Schat’s and Vons, strolling and biking up Main Street. They’re tough to miss, these youngsters have a certain swagger to them, something uniquely American, something brash but unfailingly polite, something that combines charm and bravado and humility. It’s hard to say where it comes from, but perhaps it is learned from growing up with all the unspoken understanding it takes to both discipline – and yes, even dominate – great animals in the sporting arena, while also caring for them, seeing first-hand what it means for humans to need animals for our way of life. Thursday, the Second Gos ended and yesterday (too late for press time) the top 15 in each event faced off in ShortGos to decide the winners and top fours who move on to National Finals. Yesterday too, the new Rodeo Queen was coronated, all the interviews and modeling completed much earlier in the week. The Special Rodeo was on Thursday, followed by Cowboy Prom. Student elections and teas and lunches are done. All that’s left is this morning’s Awards Breakfast … and a wait untill next year. Watching the competitors in the rodeo ring, taking on beasts so large and riding so impressively, it is easy to forget: these are just kids. For them, the week meant much more than what was seen under the lights. For many of these teens, this week was a coming of age story, known to none but themselves. Walking around the fairgrounds it was easy to see these kids on their downtime, developing friendships, flirting, laughing and talking over ice creams and lemonades, or just biking around the barns, trying to look cool like every other teenager on Earth. That’s refreshing. These kids are so poised in the ring, so intense and professional, one might think they’ve lost some childhood innocence to the rodeo. They haven’t. They just gained something undefinable that makes them look a little cooler on their bikes than the rest of us.

Bishop’s own Kayla Inderbieten leans into a full gallop along a straightaway in the barrel racing. Her speedy runs put her into the Short Go on Friday. Last year’s all around champ and national pole bending champ Lily Tillery puts her hands in the air to end her 9.4 second First Go. The competition was stiff, but she made Friday’s Short Go. If you’re wondering about Jacob Bairos, the tie down roper on the front page of Thursday’s Register, his First Go, (the one in the photos) went 21.87 seconds, but he blazed through his Second Go with an 11.73 which put him in Friday’s Short Go. David Stark of District 8 throws his hands in the air 13.89 seconds after starting his tie down roping Go Tuesday morning. His second Go was even better, 11.84, placing him fourth and moving him into Friday night’s Short Go. Westling a steer is about as tough as it gets, especially for a rookie. Digging in and toughing it out here is District 5’s Ronan Hice. Sometimes there’s nothing to do but wait. Hannah Bergman of District 5 stands over her goat at the end of Tuesday’s First Go, hoping the rope holds. The Inyo Register 20 SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2015 What is your idea of bliss?

VOLUNTEERING AND YOU Things to consider when looking for a volunteering opportunity DONATING MORE THAN DOLLARS Make a difference without donating money TEAcH cHILDREN Ideal volunteer opportunities for youngsters Psychological benefits of giving Charities often benefit significantly from the generosity of donors and volunteers. But the person providing the philanthropy also takes away something from the experience, and there actually may be measurable emotional advantages to being charitable. Helping others not only makes a person feel good, but it may also increase physical and emotional well-being. Several studies have indicated that being generous has profound effects on how a person thinks and feels. One such study from researchers at Cornell University uncovered that volunteering increases one’s energy, sense of mastery over life and self-esteem. It also promotes feelings of positivity, which may strengthen and enhance the immune system. In 2008, Dr. Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, advocated for giving gifts and being generous — even in tough financial times. “When you give a gift it makes you feel generous, it makes you feel in control, it’s good for your self-esteem, and it’s good for the relationship,” says Langer. According to psychologist Robert Ornstein and physician David Sobel, authors of “Healthy Pleasures,” they talk about a “helper’s high.” This is a sense of euphoria that volunteers experience when helping others. It can be described as a sense of vitality and a warm glow. It has been compared to a runner’s high and may be attributed to a release of endorphins. Various studies have found that donors and volunteers gain the most from a charitable encounter. Here are a few more health benefits that may result from being altruistic: • an activation of emotions that are key to good health, • lower stress levels, • longer periods of calm after the generous act, • improved mood, and • a potentially longer life span. There are many ways to give back and experience these physical and psychological benefits, including: • sharing experiences at a school, • volunteering at a hospital, • volunteering at a national or local park, • donating unused items, like clothes or cars, • reading to children at a library, • helping to care for animals at shelters, • volunteering at a hospice and comforting those at the end of their lives, • donating supplies to a new teacher and • becoming a companion to a senior citizen. The Inyo Register GB-2 V SATURDAY, jUne 20, 2015 Getting Kids to volunteer Elementary school children When kids reach elementary school, parents should introduce them to volunteering. Volunteering activities for school-aged kids should be simple, such as accompanying their parents to food banks where kids can help feed the homeless and less fortunate. Kids with grandparents living in assisted living facilities can read to residents at the facility or bring them homemade arts and crafts or even foods they helped prepare (just be sure to clear any items with the facility’s medical staff before distributing). These tasks are simple, and kids won’t feel nervous when accompanied by Mom and Dad. Middle school children When kids reach middle school, they might not feel it’s necessary for Mom and Dad to tag along as much. This is perfectly alright, and it’s a great time for kids to branch out and choose some volunteer activities of their own. Instead of accompanying kids to the food bank, let them work a shift on their own. Kids who have been volunteering since early childhood might have some volunteering goals of their own olunteering is a great way for people to give back to their communities. It’s also a great way for parents to instill character in their children. When kids volunteer, they learn lessons about responsibility while also learning how enjoyable it can be to help the less fortunate. Kids who volunteer early in life are more likely to do so throughout their lives, and that lifetime of service can be invaluable. The right volunteering opportunity for a child often depends on the child’s age, as some opportunities are better suited to younger children while others are tailor-made for teenagers. The following are a few age-appropriate ideas that can help get kids excited about volunteering and giving back to their neighborhoods. by the time they reach middle school, so don’t insist they continue with current activities if there’s something else sparking their interest. Kids might want to help an elderly neighbor around the house, such as shopping for groceries or taking care of their property. Encourage such ideas, and expect kids to want to exercise some independence when they reach middle school. High school students High school students tend to have busy schedules, but those who have been volunteering since childhood will likely find a way to continue doing so. Teenagers tend to have more specific interests than younger children, and parents can encourage teens to incorporate those interests into their volunteering. For example, kids who love sports might be able to work with the local sports and recreation center to coach younger athletes. Or kids who excel in the classroom can tutor younger students. Volunteering can look good on a high school student’s resume when the time comes to apply for college, but parents should be careful that their high school-aged children don’t stretch themselves too thin with extracurricular activities. Encourage volunteering but not at the expense of schoolwork. Many children embrace volunteering, especially when given the chance to choose how they want to give back to their communities and the less fortunate. The Inyo Register GB-3 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 Make a donation to good health Blood supplies are at critical levels. Making a donation can help save a life. Charitable giving means different things to different people. While some associate donations with money, clothing or other tangible goods, donations also can include vital parts of our bodies. Blood Blood transfusions and supplementation are vital to treating injured patients. Blood also is necessary during routine surgeries. Having an adequate blood supply at the ready can be a matter of life and death for a person in dire need of a transfusion. Canadian Blood Services, which manages the national supply of blood and blood products in Canada, announced during the summer of 2013 that the country is facing a “concerning” shortage of blood due to fewer donations and constant demand. The story is similar in the United States, where the American Red Cross reports a blood donation is needed every two seconds. Blood is perishable, and the need is constant. Red blood cells only have a shelf life of 42 days and platelets just five days, so supply must be replenished constantly. Blood can be donated whole or as plasma or platelets. Plasma is the yellow fluid in which blood cells are suspended. Platelets are smaller than white or red blood cells and help the blood to clot. Many blood collection centers will tell you that O blood type is in the highest demand because O blood, particularly O-negative, is compatible with all blood types. But it also is the blood type in the shortest supply. Organs The organization Donate Life America says nearly 120,000 men, women and children currently need lifesaving organ transplants, and every 10 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list. In addition to organ transplants, tissue transplants can save lives. Certain organs and tissues can be transplanted from living donors, including kidneys, liver lobes, lungs, and bone marrow. The National Living Organ Donors Foundation, Inc., says living organ donations can mean a more perfect match for the recipient, a longer transplant life and fewer medications. Living donors give patients an alternative to waiting months or years on transplant lists. Men, women and children also can donate their organs upon their death. Drivers can declare their intentions to donate their organs by filling out information on the backs of their driver’s licenses, and individuals also can declare such intentions in their wills. Hair Cancer patients facing radiation and chemotherapy treatments may lose their hair. Losing one’s hair can affect selfesteem. Certain organizations accept donations of human hair, which they fashion into wigs for those who have lost their own hair to cancer and other diseases. Burn victims also benefit from hair donations. The organizations Locks of Love and Wigs For Kids are two not-forprofit groups providing hair replacement solutions for those affected by hair loss. The cosmetic company Pantene has their own “Beautiful Lengths” donation program that also accepts hair donations. In order to donate to most organizations, a minimum hair length is needed and hair should be free of permanent color, bleach or other chemical treatments. Check with the organization for a full list of guidelines. Giving a gift of health by way of a blood, organ or hair donation can make a lasting difference in another person’s life. Exploring careers in philanthropy The growing number of nonprofit organizations and other philanthropic groups has made opportunities for careers in philanthropy more plentiful. Those with professional business experience or even students right out of college often find opportunities within organizations geared to giving back. According to Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, there are more than 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the United States alone. These organizations need dedicated staff to run their operations, and employees of such nonprofits often find there are several advantages to working for charitable organizations. • Happier work environments: Working in philanthropy means improving other people’s lives. Employees may be happy in their positions because they realize their work is part of a larger effort to help the less fortunate. The nonprofit sector will attract other like-minded people, and working alongside people with similar interests can make for a more enjoyable workplace environment. • Diverse responsibilities: Nonprofit operations are generally smaller than many other companies, and employees often find themselves with diverse responsibilities and more direct access to management and other decision makers. People interested in dabbling in various parts of a business may find the often intimate nature of the nonprofit sector an ideal fit. • Opportunities for travel: Some nonprofits offer the chance to work outside of the country. Nonprofit organizations who work across the globe may help build homes or schools in less developed countries or establish arts and education programs in countries where such opportunities are lacking. A job in the nonprofit sector may allow people to experience new cultures and opportunities that may never present themselves in the private sector. • Growth opportunities: Wearing a variety of hats, as many nonprofit employees do on a regular basis, allows those working at nonprofit organizations to build their resumes in ways not available to men and women working at more structured companies. People who work in the nonprofit sector often find that their careers are rewarding for a variety of reasons.

MMCF funds and implements academic, athletic and outdoor programs that bring children from different backgrounds together at school and on Mammoth Mountain to learn, compete, talk, become lifelong friends and realize their full potential. In collaboration with Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the Mammoth Schools NOW Education Foundation, MMCF has donated over $1,000,000 to the Mammoth Unified School District (MUSD) for K-12 education programming since 2010. This donation helps fund music, art, language and technology programs as well as the Independent Learning Center (ILC) at Mammoth High School. With access to flexible academic scheduling and online classes, ILC students maintain a high standard of academic achievement while pursuing extraordinary goals outside the classroom. In 2015, MMCF is helping over 900 kids get outside in the mountains, year round. In winter, MMCF provides grants to ski and snowboard PE programs at schools in Bishop, Mammoth and Lee Vining and scholarships to Mammoth Ski and Snowboard Team athletes to help offset the cost of training and competitions. In summer, MMCF loans road bikes to young athlete who want to stay fit and engaged during the summer months. MMCF hosts fundraisers throughout the year, utilizing hundreds of volunteer hours to support favorite local events and raise money for academic and athletic programming. The Mammoth Invitational in April, Wine Walk in August as well as the Mammoth Gran Fondo and Kamikaze Bike Games in September are all fundraisers for MMCF. MMCF is currently rallying volunteers to help showcase the Eastern Sierra during the USA Cycling Mtn. Bike National Championships July 14-19 on Mammoth Mountain. Volunteers receive a choice of free entry to the Kamikaze Bike Games in September, Mammoth Wine Walk August 15 or a half price winter lift ticket voucher after volunteering eight hours.

Without individuals willing to donate their time, charities facing tight budgets may not have sufficient personnel to achieve their goals. Organizations who rely heavily on volunteers can take the following steps to ensure their volunteers know their efforts are appreciated. Create a welcoming environment. No matter how many times a person volunteers, he or she will feel like the new kid in town on his or her first day with a new organization. Make new volunteers feel welcome, giving them a guided tour during which you introduce them to fellow volunteers and full- or part-time staff members. An environment that is warm and welcoming from the moment a volunteer arrives will make the experience better for all involved. Maintain an open door policy. Volunteers should feel comfortable conversing with executive directors and other higher-ups at the organization. Encourage the sharing of ideas, even with executives high up on the totem pole. Directors can meet with staff members to illustrate how everyone is working together and no one carries greater importance than another in the organization. Be prepared for volunteers. Volunteers are giving their time and expecting nothing in return. Walking into an office that is not prepared for a volunteer may lead the volunteer to view the organization as unorganized or one that lacks dedication. Charities should have a clear plan in place with regard to the duties of volunteers. There should be a desk area or computer available when necessary. In addition, be sure to have work immediately available so the volunteer won’t be sitting around with little to do. Clearly spell out time constraints. Volunteers often find time to volunteer while juggling their day jobs and responsibilities at home, and not everyone has the same amount of time available to devote to a charity. Therefore, being up front with how much time a project is expected to take can help a volunteer gauge if he or she will be able to assist. Decide how much time the job will need, and be honest with potential volunteers during interviews or when advertising openings. Give frequent praise. Let volunteers know their work is appreciated. Come up with ways to show your appreciation, be it taking volunteers out to lunch, providing snacks or other treats around the office or accommodating their personal schedules. Each of these efforts shows volunteers that you have their best interests in mind. Provide proof of success. Keep volunteers informed about the fruits of their labors. Share notes of gratitude from those who have benefitted from your organization’s efforts with the staff. Single out volunteers who played key roles in making changes happen. Frequent encouragement and proof of success will raise spirits and reassure volunteers that their efforts are worthwhile. The Inyo Register SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 GB-5 June has been declared Caring for the fundraising events Fairground Appreciation When one pictures the Eastern Sierra, the image is filled with stunning vistas - broad sagebrush steppes bounded by soaring granite peaks and seemingly endless skies. These open landscapes we love exist because they are designated as public lands, unique places where recreation opportunities abound and plants and animals thrive without the encroachment of urban life. The vast majority, 95%, of Inyo and Mono Counties are made up of public lands, places where all of us can play, recharge, and escape into the natural world. The US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management as well as other agencies work hard to manage these open spaces, but everyone can pitch in to ensure that our public lands thrive for centuries to come. Now in its 29th year, Friends of the Inyo provides opportunities to discover and care for the wild beauty of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Launched in 1986 with the goal of providing a voice for the wild lands and wildlife of the Inyo National Forest, it has evolved to work for the preservation, exploration, and stewardship of the Eastern Sierra’s public lands in partnership with the various agencies that manage them. Today, Friends of the Inyo works with the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service, plus dozens of groups and community partners to remove invasive plants, restore lake shores, pick up trash, and maintain and improve trails in favorite destinations such as June Lake, the Mono Basin, the Mammoth Lakes Basin, and Convict Lake. Friends of the Inyo believes that by getting people involved in their public lands through volunteerism and exploration, they can build an understanding of what it takes to keep our public lands clean and safe for all the various groups using them. Caring for our public lands by maintaining a trail corridor, removing rocks or fallen trees from a trail, installing wayfinding signs or simply picking up trash makes a big difference in the health and longevity of these special places. So does work to ensure the thoughtful conservation and sustainable management of our public lands. Friends of the Inyo actively participates in planning for the management and protection of our wild places. By attending public meetings, researching alternatives, and engaging members and supporters in providing feedback and comment letters, the organization helps to ensure the preservation of our precious landscapes and the vitality of the plants and animals they support. “We provide boots on the ground and thoughtful participation to help care for our public lands and ensure their resilience for generations to come” says Executive Director Laura Beardsley. “Through our volunteer programs and educational outings, we hope to inspire others to do the same.” There are a number of different ways you can help out and give back to your public lands. Join Friends of the Inyo for one of several volunteer events throughout the summer or step up to spend a day volunteering with their professional stewards. Last year volunteers collected more than 1,600 pounds of trash and maintained 130 miles of trails. You can also discover more about your public lands by taking a hike or participating in one of Friends of the Inyo’s free outings and interpretive tours throughout the Eastern Sierra. Expert guides explore a variety of topics on outings year-round with free tours four days per week in the Mammoth Lakes Trail System between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Friends of the Inyo is a small non profit doing big work to care for and protect public lands in the Eastern Sierra.To find out more about their vital work, check out a schedule of events, or join the more than 700 members making a difference for the future of our public lands, visit friendsoftheinyo.org, follow Friends of the Inyo on Facebook or Twitter, or call 760-873-6500.

Local fair CEO Sally Symons states, “The Eastern Sierra TriCounty Fair in Bishop is a prime example of the year-round impact that such a facility can have on the surrounding community.” “Everyone understands fair time,” noted California Fair Association Chair Cliff Munson, “but few, including many of our governmental leaders, realize the year-round impact of our California Fair facilities.” The goal is to bring this message to the Capitol and throughout the State during the final month of deliberation of the State Budget which this year, for the first time in four years, contains new funding for the fair network. The Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fairgrounds is a community hub that provides a diverse venue for numerous public and private events, and hosts many events of its own. “As most people are aware state funding to fairs was cut completely in 2011. Since then then, the Tri-County Fair has become a self-sustaining entity through business operations, events and the generous donations of the Eastern Sierra community,” commented Symons. So, in the spirit of “Giving Back” and in conjunction with Fair Appreciation Month the Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fair is re-launching its Friends of the Fair program with a slightly different twist. “Now that I have some more experience and have had the chance to see what else is going on with Friends of the Fair organizations across the state, we are trying a new approach to the Friends of the Fair,” said Symons. Fairgrounds across the state have had great success in forming separate non-profit entities with their own Boards that can raise funds and volunteer rosters to benefit everything from new construction and capital improvements to event planning and staffing. “So, we are in the process of forming Friends of the Tri-County Fair, Inc. as an official 501(c)3 non-profit corporation to help the fair with these endeavors. “ Once the non-profit has been legally established a membership drive will begin and a wish-list of sorts will be created and prioritized so that the future development of the fairgrounds can best serve the community. Anybody that would like to contribute either by volunteering, providing ideas or monetary contributions is encouraged to contact the fairgrounds and watch for the new launch of Friends of the Tri-County Fair, Inc. The Inyo Register GB-6 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 How to give responsibly The spirit of giving can be a wonderful thing to embrace and can help people to feel good about helping others. While most charities are legitimate entities, there are others that prey on the generosity of others. Some donors might be surprised to learn their donations are not always going to a worthy cause. Men and women can easily be overwhelmed by charity solicitations at certain times of the year and not know how to differentiate worthy charities from the ones that may not be legitimate. Donors should employ responsible giving by researching charities and ensuring their money is well spent on those truly in need. Don’t give on a whim. Impulse giving can be irresponsible, as such donations might not be going to help those in need. In addition, when giving impulsively, donors may unknowingly be offering money to scammers preying on the well-intentioned. Research a charity before making any donations, carefully examining its targeted goals and how your donation is likely to be spent. Do not give over the telephone. Telemarketing campaigns to solicit donations are not necessarily dishonest, but prospective donors should never give their personal information over the phone. If a telemarketer’s pitch impresses you, politely request that information be mailed to your home or ask for the charity’s Web site address and learn more about the charity there. Giving personal information over the phone is risky, as potential donors may not know if the person they’re speaking with is truly a representative of a charity or a criminal attempting to steal their identities. Even if the telemarketer is legitimate, chances are he or she works for a telemarketing firm hired by the charity, so some of your donation will be going to pay the telemarketer even if you want the entirety of your donation to go to the charity itself. Making a direct donation through the company’s Web site or sending a check directly to the charity eliminates the middle person, ensuring more of your money is going toward the cause you want to support. Examine a charity’s financial records. Reputable charities should have no problem sharing their financial information with prospective donors, who should not hesitate to ask for these records. When examining a charity’s finances, make sure it is devoting at least 75 percent of its budget to its programs and services, avoiding charities that are spending too much money on administrative services and fundraising. All charities will need to reserve funds for administrative services, fundraising efforts and additional operating costs, but those costs should not exceed 25 percent of the organization’s budget. Don’t be afraid to concentrate your giving. Many charities support many worthy causes, and it can be hard for well-intentioned donors to decide which charity is most deserving of their donations. But spreading smaller donations around several charities can make it difficult for those charities to make the most of your gift. More money will be spent processing each donation, reducing the potential impact of each gift along the way. Once you have discovered and fully vetted a charity in which you feel confident, don’t be afraid to make that charity the lone recipient of your charitable donations. Give in the off-season. Many charities receive the bulk of their donations during the holiday season, when the spirit of giving and potential tax deductions compel many men and women to make their donations. But charities need just as much money to operate throughout the rest of the year as they do come the holiday season. If money is tight during the holiday season, don’t hesitate to give during the off-season. Your donation will be just as valued in July as in December, and you won’t be forced to make room for charitable donations in your holiday budget.

No cost, Unbiased Medicare Counseling The Inyo Register GB-7 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 Things to do when starting a nonprofit In recent years, the number of nonprofit organizations has skyrocketed. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are around 1.5 million tax-exempt organizations operating in the United States, which report more than $1.59 trillion in total revenue. The organization Imagine Canada says there are an estimated 165,000 nonprofit organizations in Canada, where the nonprofit and voluntary sector is the second largest in the world behind the Netherlands. Establishing a nonprofit organization is not an easy task and should not be entered without sound guidance and forethought. Though beginning a business, be it a for-profit or nonprofit organization, is different for everyone, there are some common steps when founding a nonprofit organization. While this information is to serve as a reference, it should not replace the advice of legal counsel knowledgeable of tax-exempt organizations in your area. The requirements for starting a nonprofit organization vary depending on a host of factors, including geography, so it is highly recommended that men and women looking to start a nonprofit organization consult with an attorney to ensure they are in compliance with all regulations before opening their doors. Write a mission statement that clarifies your intentions. The mission statement should identify the overall purpose of the organization, including why the organization should exist. Include the values that will guide the nonprofit, its benefit to others, and how you would like others to view the business. Do no go forward with your plan if you cannot clearly identify a mission for your organization. Decide the type of organization you want to be. This will help categorize your nonprofit. Being taxexempt is not the same as being tax-deductible. You may want your organization to be incorporated to protect against personal liability. Otherwise, you may want to be an informal nonprofit organization, such as a group of friends getting together for a common goal. Setting the groundwork for your nonprofit will depend on the type of organization you want to build. Determine who will be involved with the organization. Having a lot of people interested in the nonprofit can signal broad community support. Otherwise, if the nonprofit is only exciting to a few people, it may prove less capable of realizing its mission statement. Try to create a group of mixed talents that will have a shared passion. If there is not enough interest, it might be better for you to focus your efforts on joining an existing organization with a similar focus. Create a business plan that includes a needs assessment. A needs assessment is used to determine if there really is Strategies to help children to be more physically active Today’s students arguably have more on their plates than any generation that came before them. But even with their hectic schedules, kids still have free time, which many are not always using in the healthiest ways possible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly onethird high school students play video games or computer games for three or more hours on an average school day. Sedentary lifestyles can increase kids’ risk for being overweight or obese, and many parents struggle in their efforts to encourage their school-aged children to get off the couch and embrace physical activities. The following are a handful of strategies concerned parents can employ as they attempt to motivate youngsters to be more physically active. • Choose the right activity. Physical activity and organized sports are not one and the same. Kids can still be physically active even if they are not athletic or if they are simply not interested in sports. Find an activity kids can embrace, such as hiking, swimming or even riding bikes, and they will be more likely to get off the couch. • Limit screen time. Kids spend lots of time in front of computer and television screens, which can be detrimental to their overall health. Parents can place restrictions on the amount of time kids are allowed to spend surfing the Internet, playing video games and watching television, encouraging youngsters to spend time enjoying the great outdoors or playing with friends rather than spending it staring at a screen . • Join in the fun. Parents can set positive examples by being physically active and even exercising with their children. Rather than retiring to the a need in your community for the services you want to offer. Although the nonprofit will be established to help others and not to make money, it is still a business and must be deemed viable. The business plan should also include where the nonprofit will be located, how you will market your product or service, how management and staff will be organized, and where you will get money for the startup and monthly operations. Consider seeking the support of a fiscal sponsor. A fiscal sponsor is another nonprofit organization that will help share resources to handle startup costs and fees. There also are businesses that share their resources to help nonprofit organizations establish themselves. The National Council of Nonprofit Associations can let you know if there are such businesses in your area. Also, seek the support of an attorney. While you can lay much of the groundwork yourself, professional legal advice can prove invaluable. Various reports and filings must be assembled and submitted before the organization can open its doors, and such red tape can be confusing for the novice. Establish a method of keeping good records. A bookkeeper or a recording secretary should be one of your first hires. Thanks to the heavy volume of paperwork necessary to establish both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, good records must be kept to ensure you are operating correctly and legally. Develop a fundraising plan early on. Fundraising is necessary to meet your operation costs and develop funds necessary to achieve your goals. The majority of that funding will come from private citizens and local service groups. Seeking donations strictly via a Web site may be ineffective and illegal, particularly if the organization is not registered to solicit funds outside of its home state. A Web site should further your cause, but effective advertising and word-ofmouth recommendations will help fuel donations. There are a variety of other things to consider when starting a nonprofit organization. You may need liability insurance and an insurance agent to handle health and life insurance benefits for employees. Bylaws should be written to specify how the board will operate. A solicitation license will be required if you plan to solicit funds, and you may need a mail permit to get a discount on bulk mailings. Those who plan to file for tax-exempt status will be required to fill out the requisite forms at both the federal and state or provincial levels. There are many free or low-cost resources available to help guide you through the process of starting a nonprofit, both online and at the library. Working at another nonprofit organization or volunteering your time can prove an invaluable experience to men and women hoping to one day start their own nonprofit organization. 2 for 7 Original 1/3 lb. $ Thick Burger Served on a Fresh Baked Bun couch after dinner, take nightly walks or bike rides as a family.

Will our grandchildren and great-grandchildren see these same vibrant, small-town communities that we treasure now? Like us, will they be inspired by our wild lands and rural roots? The choice is yours, and you’re not alone. The members and volunteers of Eastern Sierra Land Trust (ESLT) are committed to protecting what we all love about this special region. ESLT’s mission is to safeguard the Eastern Sierra’s critical wildlife habitats, working family farms, and stunning vistas so residents and visitors alike will always have the opportunity to appreciate these same landscapes we love. “The preservation, sustainability, and stewardship of our lands is crucial to our overall quality of life and the quality of life for future generations,” commented Byng Hunt, former Mono County Supervisor of 16 years. “Without committed volunteers, our destiny will be severely limited and our physical environment could be functionally and visually diminished over time.” As the newly-appointed Treasurer on ESLT’s Board of Directors, Byng himself volunteers countless hours each month to guarantee that our region thrives in the years to come. “It will take considerable effort to assure the future of our vistas, farms, ranches and historic sites,” he observed. “ESLT is an important means to that end, and I personally look forward to contributing to these efforts where I am able.” ESLT works with willing landowners to enact conservation agreements that preserve our critical landscapes in perpetuity. Once a land is protected the real work begins, and ESLT relies on volunteers to help guarantee that its land 8 SATURDAY, june 20, 2015 conservation triumphs will last forever. This is done through the restoration and stewardship of protected lands, and by educating the youngest members of our community about responsible, sustainable land management. Are you ready to help protect critical wildlife habitat, and are not afraid to get your hands dirty? ESLT invites you to get outside and assist with its ongoing stewardship work. Multiple times a year, staff and volunteers grab their tools and head out together onto the land to pick up trash, remove invasive weeds, transplant and water native plants, and restore natural habitat to ensure our landscape remains a safe haven for wildlife. ESLT’s annual Sunflower Garden Project is a great opportunity for those who want to engage local elementary school students with fun, hands-on activities that teach about life in the garden. ESLT is now looking for volunteers to help its Education Coordinators and AmeriCorps Members prepare for the start of our next growing season. There are also plenty of opportunities to assist with ESLT’s important conservation work by helping out around the office (on Fowler Street in Bishop). As the staff and Board prepare for ESLT’s annual summer event – the Lands and Legacy Celebration on the weekend of July 25 – there are countless ways for volunteers to lend a hand. Help determine the future of the Eastern Sierra’s breathtaking landscapes by volunteering with ESLT today.

In fact, for many schools, sports teams and nonprofit groups, fundraising is the single most effective way for these organizations to pay for the rising cost of their activities. According to Fundraising Idea Companies (www. fundraisingideacompanies. com), estimates suggest that more than 80 percent of individuals donate to nonprofit fundraising efforts. Most of the donations come by way of individuals and only a small percentage from foundations. Additionally, among those who donate, it is common for individuals to support more than one cause. Understanding how fundraising works can help those looking to raise money develop successful strategies for instituting fundraising endeavors. Here are some pointers for those unaccustomed to fundraising. Start preparing early. It’s never too early to start preparing for a fundraising operation. The more time devoted to planning and advertising the event, the greater the chance for widespread participation from donors. In addition to word of mouth, you will want to include fundraiser information on calendars and newsletters — basically anywhere you can reach the most amount of people. Choose the right fundraising company. There are many companies that specialize in fundraising events and will welcome the opportunity to help you raise funds for your organization. There are different questions to ask potential fundraising companies, and the responses given should help you determine if they will be the right fit for your organization. Examples of questions include: What is the percentage of sales given back to the nonprofit organization? What services are available to save you and volunteers time? How long has the company been in business? Is there an incentive prize program? If so, who pays for it? What are the ways to keep costs down? Avoid fundraising fatigue. When fundraising, the “less is more” approach is often applicable. Although this may seem counterintuitive, focusing on a few effective fundraising initiatives may prove more fruitful than presenting several smaller ones. Over time, individuals may feel less inclined to give when faced with many fundraising solicitations from the same organization. This makes finding the fundraising events that will be most profitable essential. Establish clear goals and deadlines. People are busy, and unless they are monitored and fundraiser organizers stay motivated throughout the event, it can be easy to lose the interest of normally willing participants. Set deadlines in the near future so events don’t get lost in people’s schedules. Enlist the help of reliable volunteers. Fundraising is often a large undertaking. It will require several motivated individuals all working toward a common goal. Interview prospects to see if they have the gumption and perseverance to see the fundraiser to the end. These may be people who want to help out but simply do not have the capacity to donate money. Keep donors in the loop. People often want to know where their funds will be going. If this is a school fundraiser, spell out specifically what programs will benefit or which items will be bought with the money raised through this fundraising event. Donors often feel more comfortable donating toward a tangible goal, such as a new smartboard for a classroom. Do your best to prevent mistakes. It is important to double-check orders and maintain good record-keeping so that mistakes can be minimized. Also, you want to be sure orders are correct and there are no product defects before distributing purchased merchandise. Every fundraiser held by your organization will serve as further reference to donors on how you handle fundraising initiatives. Keep it varied. Donors are continually looking for fun products or services, so it is important for you to change up your fundraising efforts to keep individuals interested. Fundraising is an important part of keeping organizations afloat without requiring hefty dues and fees from parents or participants, and doing it right can mean financial success.
