Vol. 145, Issue 73 the country, if not the world? Plenty of people it seems, or at least people who like to wear the coats as a fashion statement or for warmth, many of them located in Russia and China, where a rising middle and upper class has demonstrated a taste for bobcat fur – including our own lynx rufus. In fact, the price of a bobcat pelt in 2009 was about $78, according to state data. Today, it is more than $700 per pelt – hence the explosion of trapping. That is a problem for some locals, who, along with dozens of other people from across the state, argued their case before the state Fish and Game Commission last week during one of the commission’s quarterly meetings, this one held at the Mountainside Inn, where, on June 11, both pro and anti-trapping factions met to plead their respective cases. At stake is the fate of a state bill, AB 1213, which banned trapping of the felines near Joshua Tree National Park starting last year after outrage over a bobcat trapping incident there started the drive to protect the cats. That bill doesn’t go far enough, said many at the meeting, where speakers in favor of a state-wide ban outnumbered pro-trapping speakers about 4-1. Mono County’s own super- visors were some of the first to speak and Supervisor Larry Johnston noted the county’s motto is “Wild by Nature,” arguing for at minimum a trapping buffer zone for the areas parks and reserves, if not an outright ban on trapping the cats statewide. He also noted the supervisors sent a formal letter to the commission earlier this spring, stating the same preference. “This is the only spotted cat that is traded internationally,” said Mono City resident Deanna Dulen when her time to speak came up. “At least the Mono Basin Scenic Area should be free of trapping.” “I live near Tinnemaha Creek and I have had very bad experiences with these traps,” said Sydney Quinn of Big Pine. “We are facing many issues there including large solar development and I am worried about connectivity (the ability of animals to travel between designated reserves or protected areas), if there is no a statewide ban. Wildlife are, in your own words, a public trust. They belong to all of us, not just a few trappers.” “One trapper wiped out an entire population in one year, our neighbor,” said Janna Halford, who traveled to Mammoth as a member of a group she called Project Coyote. “Please imagine what See bobcats E Page 3 A 16-year-old Kernville girl is missing and possibly hiding out in the Sierra backcountry or passing through this area on her way out of state. That’s according to Kern County authorities and the Woolwine family, who reported Amber Woolwine as missing since Thursday, June 11. She is believed to be in the company of a 47-year-old man with whom she worked last summer at the Cottonwood Pack Station in Lone Pine. The man was reportedly a longtime friend of the family. Woolwine’s mother, Lynnette Jenkins, posted a message to a public group on Facebook Monday asking for Owens Valley residents to keep an eye out for both her daughter and the man, who goes by the name Max Kozak. According to Jenkins, authori- Amber Woolwine Max Kozak ties can find no record of a Max Kozak – no address, no driver’s license, no vehicles registered to that name – in the system and believe the name to be a possible alias. He is described on missing persons posters distributed by the Kern County Sheriff’s Office as “an unknown white male” around the age of 45, six feet tall, 200 pounds, muscular build, with short dark hair and hazel eyes. He is known to wear an offwhite, dirty, felt cowboy hat. “Also, he speaks with a slight accent. Most would say it sounds Australian,” Jenkins reported on Facebook Sunday. “He also has a slight facial twitch and occasional stutter.” In an earlier post on Saturday, she noted that the man had disappeared from Kernville in April “after being told the cops wanted to speak to him. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since, except maybe by Amber.” Amber is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 125 pounds, lean, with blue eyes and light brown, mediumlength hair. She typically wears country/Western style clothing, including worn brown cowboy boots and a faded black felt hat, according to the Sheriff’s Office. She has pierced ears and a pierced belly button, as well as a 2-inch scar on her left elbow.

Local growers and nonfood vendors will gather this Saturday at 9 a.m. on the Church Street lawns behind the Bishop courthouse. The location has been in use by the market for three or four years now and is proving popular with both vendors and buyers, said Market Manager Tom Wise. “It’s shady and quieter because it’s off the main drag but still downtown which is nice,” he said. For more than 20 years, the Eastern Sierra Certified Farmers Market met every Saturday during the summer See market E Page 5 Mike Gillespie accepts a gift basket at the July 12 Bishop’s Farmers Market on behalf of drawing winner Adrienne Gillespie.

Bobbie was born on Oct. 30, 1923, in Downey, to Verle and Pearl Brown. She attended school in Norwalk, graduating from Excelsior High School. She enrolled in classes at Long Beach City College, then met Nick Mandich, Jr., the love of her life, married him on June 5, 1945, and moved to Bishop. She raised her three children and helped with the family business, Owens Valley Drug Co. Bobbie also pursued many other interests, among them piloting her airplane (a true passion!), traveling the world, creating stained glass, playing bridge, belonging to Rotary International, supporting other service groups, and spending time with dear friends in the area. On Mother’s Day this year, when asked if there were anything she still wanted to do in life, she responded, “I’ve had a fortunate life. I’ve been everywhere I’ve wanted to go and done everything I’ve wanted to do.” Bobbie is survived by her children, Nick Mandich III, Neal Mandich and Patti Mandich; their spouses and partners; grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, who will miss her very much. A celebration of life ser- vice will be held on Monday, June 22, at 2 p.m.., at First United Methodist Church, 205 N. Fowler St., Bishop, followed by refreshments.

This is against our humanity, this is huge.” She argued against the perspective of a protrapping speaker who came before her, a young man who argued that trapping be allowed to continue so he had something better to do with his dad, a long-time trapper, than sit on the couch. “I’m not sure skinning animals versus eating chips on the couch (is a good argument),” she said. “He could be skiing, boating, hiking or playing ball with his dad.” Outnumbered in perspective but just as vehement was Dwayne Rossi, an Owens Valley rancher whose family goes back to the late 1800s in the area. “I’ve probably eaten more sage grouse than you people have ever seen,” he said. “When my family got here, they turned this barren land into a wildlife wonderland. The bobcat eat the sage grouse night and day. I used to pack people into the Sierra backcountry. The number one complaint people would have is that they didn’t see any wildlife. These people pay big money for these trips. You aren’t going to have the benefits of game without predator control. It’s like trying to grow tomatoes without aphid control.” It was speaker Nick Thomas, who was visiting with his father, a trapper, who mentioned how trapping gave him a pastime. “I love every part of it, it gives me something to do besides sit on the couch and eat chips and watch TV. It’s an outdoor activity, it’s healthy.” By the time the agenda item was over, at least 70 speakers had said their piece, again with about a 4-1 ratio in favor of a statewide ban compared to in favor of continued trapping. The commission made no decision nor did it comment, but indicated it would have a decision by the next meeting in Fortuna in August. Press Releases Made Easy 1) Save Your Press Release as a “txt” Document. This is the lowest common denominator and ensures that whomever you send it to will be able to open it. (They’re not likely to go out of their way to try to open something they didn’t request.) 2) Send Your Photos or other images as “jpg” files with a resolution of 300 dpi or greater. A 4-inch by 5-inch image gives the editor something to work with whereas anything smaller will likely be thrown away. 3) Send Your Release (with Photo Attachments) by Email, if possible … Anything you can do to save the editor/reporter work increases the likelihood it will be used. If you can’t email it, please hand-deliver it on a CD. You can also use snail mail or deliver it personally, but remember, the less work you make for the editor, the greater your chances he or she will use it. 4) Identify Your Photos. Make sure any photos you submit have identification of the people pictured and tell what is happening as well. Identify photos from left to right. Check spelling of names as well as tell us where the people are from. 5) Make Personal Contacts. Whenever possible, make personal contact with the people to whom you will be sending your release. You appreciate having a face or voice to associate with a name. So do editors. People are more inclined to help people they know (even slightly) than a complete stranger. 6) When Submitting Information About Events, be sure to give the editor a week of lead time. Unless your information is “breaking news,” such as the announcement of a new plant, etc., don’t expect the editor to rush to get your information into the paper. 7) Send To: Darcy Ellis [email protected], mail to 1180 N.

Fax (760) 873-3591 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fill Owens Lake Just a century ago, Owens Lake was a spectacular inland sea, teeming with life. After DWP reduced Owens Valley to a colony and dried the lake, its bed became the largest source of health-threatening dust in the nation. To mitigate the dust, DWP has been forced to agree to endless cycles of flooding, bulldozing and manipulation of the lake bed. A recent letter proposed building a new aqueduct to fill the lake with seawater. There is a much better way to fill the lake and mitigate dust. The billions of dollars DWP will have to continue spending on dust mitigation could, instead, be invested in re-engineering L.A.’s water system for recycling, conservation and storm water capture. This would free the city from its dependence on Eastern Sierra water and allow the cost-free miracle of gravity to once again fill (by means of Owens River and Sierran creeks) Owens Lake and mitigate dust. There is sufficient money and ingenuity in Los Angeles to do this. What is lacking is the political will to make the investment. But even that may not be in as short supply as it seems. The rhetoric coming from L.A. these days is all about “locally sourced water” and “reducing dependence on imported water.” Mayor Garcetti and DWP even have a “Sustainability Officer.” Of course, talk is cheap. DWP claims Eastern Sierra water is not “imported” and so therefore not subject to its “reduce dependence on imported water” goal. No doubt DWP even claims its exploitation of Owens Valley is “sustainable.” And even while L.A.’s green rhetoric is decidedly 21st century, its colonial rule of Owens Valley remains back in the 19th. Since World War II, all the world’s major colonial powers have lost their colonies. Los Angeles, on the other hand, continues to enlarge its Owens Valley colony and drill ever more wells. Talk about being on the “wrong side of history”! The inescapable implication of L.A.’s rhetoric is that the city must overcome its dependence on Eastern Sierra water and associated colonial rule. Our task must be to insist DWP and L.A. leaders acknowledge this and invest accordingly. This won’t be easy, and many readers may dismiss the idea as unrealistic. However, I suggest insisting L.A. honor its own rhetoric is more realistic than the alternative: pretending current management agreements under colonial rule will avert the slow-motion disaster of desiccation and desertification we are already experiencing. Daniel Pritchett Bishop DWP using drought as a means to two beneficial ends In his definitive book on the Owens Valley water controversy, “Water and Power,” William Kahrl describes how in 1905, William Mulholland fabricated a drought in Los Angeles to frighten voters into approving a bond issue to help finance the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. It was impossible to contradict Mulholland because there were no hydrologic data for Los Angeles other than those in the files of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. In 1907, well after the passage of the bond issue, Mulholland reversed himself and said rainfall in 1905 was normal and provided higher stream flow figures than those he used to justify his “water nightmare” of 1905. One hundred and ten years later we are experiencing a drought that is all too real. It appears that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) of today is every bit as adept at using the specter of drought to its advantage as it was in Mulholland’s day. In April 2015 LADWP submitted a pumping plan for the 2015-16 runnoff year which called for 16,500 acre feet of irrigation water for the Owens Valley lessees, an amount that would certainly mean financial ruin for many of them. On April 27, LADWP notified the ranchers and farmers in Owens Valley there would be no irrigation water deliveries after May 1, 2015. In a letter dated April 28, 2015 the Inyo County Board of Supervisors called the unilateral discontinuation of irrigation water in Owens Valley a clear violation of the Long-Term Water Agreement and called on LADWP to rescind the April 27 letter. Within days Jim Yannotta, manager of the Aqueduct, did rescind the irrigation water shutoff but still insists the cutbacks are reasonable. At Talking Water workshops convened in early May by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors, Yannotta argued that because of this unprecedented drought there simply is not enough water to fill everyone’s needs. He stressed that, as per the recently approved pumping plan, there would be no water exported to Los Angeles from Owens Valley for the first six months of the year and only 42,000 acre-feet for the second six months, representing an 82 percent reduction from a normal year. This sounds like a sacrifice, but is it? The LADWP pumping plan also says that 9 percent of the water used in Los Angeles during the coming year will come from the Eastern Sierra and that 20 percent of the water used in the coming year will come from its own aquifers. L.A.’s own aquifers will provide twice the amount of water than Owens Valley. It would be interesting to know if some of the water from L.A.’s aquifers originated in the Owens Valley. L.A., along with rest of California, is subject to the Governor’s mandate for a 25 percent reduction in water use. If Los Angeles does achieve a significant reduction, in all probability there will be no need for water from Owens Valley. LADWP has been highlighting the fact that they will not export water for the first six months of the year as though it is a sacrifice when it is more likely the reason is that L.A. doesn’t really need it and probably wouldn’t know what to do with it if it was delivered to L.A. So what’s going on? A look at Haiwee Reservoir says a lot. It is full to the brim.

Main St., Ste. 108, Bishop, CA 93514 has been busily storing water downstream so they don’t have to provide it to the Owens Valley ranchers and farmers? In a letter to The Inyo Register (May 7, 2015), former Inyo County Counsel Randy Keller wondered why LADWP stores water in Haiwee instead of Crowley where it could be used for irrigation. Keller said he was discouraged by a lack of transparency by LADWP. LADWP has recently announced it will provide water for irrigation through July but does not say where or how much. Just like in Mulholland’s day, they have the data and anyone else who would like to have some verification of irrigation flows, doesn’t. In their Talking Water workshops the Inyo County Board of Supervisors instructed staff to evaluate the feasibility of cutting water from mandated mitigation projects in Owens Valley and using it for irrigation. The largest mitigation project is the Lower Owens River Project (LORP). Board Chair Matt Kingsley has been the most ardent proponent of reductions to the LORP while interestingly Aqueduct Manager Jim Yannotta would rather talk about reductions in water used for dust mitigation on Owens Lake. Most of the water delivered to the LORP is pumped back to the aqueduct so it is understandable that Mr. Yannotta is lukewarm about cutting LORP flows. Reducing flows to the LORP is risky business involving possible water quality problems that could result in fish kills and may even be subject to the Calfornia Environmental Quality Act. In any case, the 4,000 acre-feet of water from flow reduction in the LORP and other mitigation projects are far from enough to fill the shortfall. It has been repeatedly mentioned that there is more than sufficient water in Crowley Lake to provide water for irrigation in Owens Valley but so far LADWP has resisted, offering unconvincing arguments for not doing so. The real objective is to reduce the amount of water used for dust mitigation on Owens Lake. Years ago LADWP was given three options for dust mitigation: flooding, gravel spreading or revegetation. Water was relatively abundant at the time so flooding was chosen, a decision that has proven to be disastrous. LADWP is using the drought to accomplish two goals: reduce the number of agricultural water users in Owens Valley, and reduce the amount of water for dust mitigation on Owens Lake.

Main St., Ste. 108 Bishop, CA 93514 760-873-3535 The Inyo Register THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015 5 MiSSing Continued from front page Her father, Carl Woolwine, told a local TV station that he last saw her the morning of the 11th when she dropped off her pickup truck at his home – an act that he says did not seem suspicious at the time. This was in the area of Wofford Heights, 3.5 miles south-southwest of Kernville, Sheriff’s Office Public Information Ray Pruitt said, and authorities have been focusing their efforts here in particular to locate Amber. But Jenkins believes her daughter and the man her family knew for nearly 20 years as Max Kozak could be anywhere in the Sierra or even on their way to Utah. Jenkins told the local TV station that Amber left behind a note telling her family “she was going to a camp and would not be in touch.” Initially, Jenkins suspected the two were at any of the dozens of the pack stations on the Eastern or Western Sierra, and then considered they could be simply “hiding out” in the backcountry, since both are experienced in surviving outdoors. Late Tuesday night, Jenkins posted to Facebook that she had received a tip that the pair might be headed to Utah. Kozak drives a white Dodge Ram, license plate number 88933MA. Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of either Amber Woolwine or Max Kozak is asked to call the Kern County Sheriff’s Office at (661) 861-3110 or the closest law enforcement agency. Kernville resident Amber Woolwine, 16, was last seen June 11 when she dropped her truck off at her father’s house in Wofford Heights. She left a note saying she was going to a camp and would not be in contact. It’s possible Woolwine is in the Sierra backcountry.

In 2011, the market moved to Talmage Park in the heart of downtown, but both growers and customers found the location too hot, too loud and too cramped. There will be even more “room to roam” at the market this year, Wise said, with the expansion of booths to both sides of the street. According to Wise, farmers will be set up on the south side of Church Street and nonagricultural vendors will be situated on the north lawn. The change was prompted both by necessity – “It was getting kind of crowded,” Wise said – and law, which states that agricultural sellers must be separate from other vendors. The non-ag vendors include craftspeople, local businesses and cottage food producers – residents making and selling their own bread, candy and other food items. The ag vendors this year should have a plentiful and high-quality selection, Wise said. “It looks to be a great season.” Six growers are signed up so far and by season’s end Wise anticipates having 12 participating. He said shoppers this Saturday can expect spring greens, vegetables such as onions, potatoes, peas, chard, beets and garlic, and fruits like apricots and peaches. There are also “rumors of tomatoes at the first market,” he said – a remarkable feat given the drought and otherwise strange weather this past spring. Wise explained that some growers have been coaxing seeds into tomato plants since Rick Devore from Apple Hill Ranch in Wilkerson holds a prize winter squash. Devore maintains more than 1,700 fruit trees and will once again be regular at Bishop’s Farmers Market each Saturday . Photo by Rena Mlodecki late February, first on heat mats, then in greenhouses and then surrounded by “walls of water” plastic sheets. It’s a lot of work, he said, but worth it for growers who want tomatoes. Shoppers will have more opportunity to snatch up some prized tomatoes now that the market has been extended an hour in 2015, from 11 a.m. to noon. According to Wise, the growers wanted an extra hour to sell their fruits and vegetables and the market wanted to give residents and visitors more time to shop – especially those who show at 11 a.m. and wonder why everyone’s packing up. The change allows residents to sleep in and still make the market if they want to, or get their errands and chores in before hitting the market, Wise said. He noted the farmers have been asked to start later in the day but in the heat of the summer, afternoon hours aren’t conducive to picking or selling produce. Wise said he understands that on the Eastside, residents want to hit the trails and head for the mountains first thing on weekends, “but morning is the best time for the best quality produce.” While reaping the benefits of the farmers rising early, shoppers can also enjoy free entertainment from local musicians and music groups, including the Zikomo Drum Ensemble. The market welcomes other performers of music, poetry, dance and other forms of entertainment, and asks that they contact either Wise at (760) 937-9277 or Publicity Director Sue Chudy at (760) 937-6768. Growers interested in joining the market may contact Dori Cann at (760) 938-9105. no need to leave the valley in Ridgecrest we are right here in your backyard! 760-446-7714 The Most Advanced & Comprehensive Cancer Center Dr. Y.

All proceeds from the evening will go to St. Stephen’s Building Repair Fund. According to spokesperson Rosemarie Todd, the church was established in 1981 under the leadership of Pastor Fr. James Maloney and Deacon John Burns. The initial location of the mission, she said, was on School Street in a building dating back to the 1930s. Work began on the permament home of St. Stephen’s as soon as land was acquired on the corner of U.S. Highway 395 and Walnut Street. The new church was dedicated June 6, 1987 with a special Father John Gracey and Nancy and Dave Salvage show off some of the silent auction items and door prizes up for grabs this Saturday at St. Stephen’s Catholic Mission’s 28th anniversary celebration.

The RTP serves as the planning blueprint to guide transportation investments in the County involving local, state, and federal funding over the next twenty years. Transportation improvements are categorized as short-term (0-10 years) or long-term (11-20 years). The overall focus of the RTP is directed at developing a coordinated and balanced multi-modal regional transportation system that is financially constrained to the revenues anticipated over the life of the plan. The Draft Negative Declaration finds that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Future improvements described in the Plan will be subject to environmental review on an individual basis. The Initial Study and Draft Negative Declaration and the Draft Regional Transportation Plan can be viewed at the Inyo County Local Transportation Commission website at http://www.inyoltc.org/rtp.html or in person at the Bishop, Big Pine, Independence, Lone Pine, and Tecopa branches of the Inyo County Free Library and at the Public Works Department office at the Courthouse Annex Building at 168 North Edwards Street in Independence.

After a lengthy surgery, doctors managed to remove it. Two weeks later, I took him to a rustic cabin retreat so he could rest. The morning we were to leave for home, I woke up and went to open the front door, but it was blocked. Apparently, my friend had gone out earlier, tripped and hit his head, and had died in front of the door. Since then, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep. I don’t know where to turn and am about to have a breakdown. I can’t afford therapy. Do you have any advice? – Devastated in Ohio Dear Ohio: We are so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. You thought your friend would be OK and weren’t prepared for his sudden death. Please know that you are not at all responsible for what happened. It may even be that the treatment of his tumor affected his balance or visual focus, contributing to his tripping and falling. Counseling will help you come to terms with this, and it doesn’t need to be costly. Check at the hospital where your friend was treated and ask whether they offer grief counseling. You also can discuss this with your clergyperson. Dear Annie: It is summertime again, so I thought I would put in my two cents on what I want friends and relatives to be aware of when they come to my house to swim.

As a result, each individual is charged with taking control, keeping track and making decisions based on personal values and taste. The Cancer moon encourages everyone along this path, emphasizing the role of intuition. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need a reason to reach out to another person. You’re a social creature. It’s in your DNA to connect. Also, the reason always presents itself down the line. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Bending the rules will be fun for you, but not as fun as breaking them. Your brief stint as an outlaw will make you more appreciative of the structures you adhere to on a daily basis. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you want a change to happen in your life, you have to be willing to make a change in yourself. Today your inner power will surge. You’re ready to do what it takes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll feel like you’re just one person competing in a crowded market of similar people. But no one is you. When you’re doing what only you can do, you will have no competition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your definition of success has changed throughout the years. Take a moment to stop and reassess. Imagine yourself winning. What does that look like to you? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t underestimate your talents, but don’t highlight them, either. You don’t need to. People flock to you when you stop trying to sell what you do and start sharing who you are instead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What was true yesterday doesn’t apply today. Also, what is true for you is not necessarily true for someone else. The stars will support you in getting comfortable with the relativity of truth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The reason James Bond is such a Holiday Mathis popular character is that he’s unflappable. And so are you. To maintain your composure in the face of a threat is to achieve the higher levels of grace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are in a position to say “yes” to a project or investment. Timing is key. Your winning answer will bring a small profit – something to build on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your life is filled with fulfilling, quality pursuits because you give your attention to worthy aims. How you judge the worthiness of your goals will be key. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Family business is your business, whether you want it to be or not. You keep getting roped into duty. You won’t mind the pickle they put you in today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just when you think you have it all figured out, experience will bring you something baffling and new. Tonight, counteract negativity by including and loving the one who offends you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 18). It would be exhausting and unwise to react to everything. This year you gain strength, popularity and vitality because you are so choosy with your reactions. Your focus on successful actions and relationships will help you thrive. July and September bring exciting new relationships. November shows you the money. Aries and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 23, 11, 27 and 18. WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: When you consider the miles of life experiences your love has walked, you’re a little in awe. TAURUS: Don’t worry about passion just yet. Start with compassion instead, and see where that leads. GEMINI: Criticism, especially selfcriticism, serves no good purpose. Why harden your heart? Loved ones need your warmth and tenderness. CANCER: Once you surrender to the chaos of your social scene, you’ll rather enjoy the excitement that comes with knowing uncontrollable people. LEO: Cooperation is mutual effort toward a common goal – not giving up your individuality. VIRGO: You are slow to commit because you take your commitments so seriously. LIBRA: Your actions are the proof of what is important to you – period. SCORPIO: Don’t try to fix your love or offer unsolicited advice. SAGITTARIUS: Beware of a meddling female. Guard your privacy. CAPRICORN: Humans have a tendency to be self-involved, and so it’s endearing that you want to know about things that have nothing to do with you. AQUARIUS: Into every relationship a little confrontation must fall; otherwise, someone is not being real. PISCES: Deal in details rather than generalities. Tell your love exactly what you want. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: The sun, Mercury and Mars are in Gemini. The moon and Venus are in Leo. Gemini and Leo are getting so much cosmic attention that they can’t help but feel special. When these two get together, that specialness translates into super-confidence and all the appeal of a power couple. Favored activities include mingling at parties and making a stellar impression in a crowd of VIPs.

I enjoy it. But people don’t realize how much work it takes to make it ready to use. Here are my suggestions: 1. Don’t show up early. Come at the time suggested. 2. Please bring two towels per person. You use one towel each time you get out of the pool, and when it’s wet, you borrow one of mine. Most of the time, I never see that towel again. Bring a spare. 3. Remember to take all your stuff home with you and please label everything you bring. I don’t know which goggles, towels, shirts or sunscreen are yours when you come back a week later looking for them. 4. If you bring food to one of my pool parties, bring enough to share. And if you want to contribute to the meal I make, bring something substantial. I resent spending $75 on meat and keep an eye on the kids, too. Have them obey my pool rules. They’re for everyone’s safety. There are probably more things, but that’s enough to make me feel better for now. – Swimming Along Dear Swimming: Everyone has different expectations for their pool guests, but your rules are sensible, especially the last one. Thanks for writing. Kathy & Marcy you show up with a bag of chips. And bring drinks and ice. If there are leftovers, take them with you. I can’t store everything. 5. Watch your kids. I’m trying to cook, carry on a conversation, maybe swim a bit, and your precious child is running circles around the pool.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle Previous Puzzle Solved The Inyo Register sports 14 THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015 CHSRA 2015 Finals under way California’s top high school rodeo champions in Bishop to face the best By Louis Israel Register Staff They’ve come from all over the state to strut their stuff against the animals and each other. Barrel racing, steer wrestling, team roping, tie down roping, goat tying, breakaway, pole bending, bull riding, saddle bronc and bareback riding are all on the menu for these talented youngsters. The action goes all week with the final “short go” on Friday. The packed week also includes the Rodeo Queen competition, dances, awards, student officer elections, scholarships and parties. Bishop’s own Kayla Inderbieten eases through a turn in the barrel racing. She posted a great time bested only by surprising rookie Bailey Danylo as of press time. Chance Collins leans in at high speed in the team roping competition. On the left is his partner, Hailey Riedel.

Photo courtesy of Larry Smith and Photofast Photo courtesy of Larry Smith and Photofast On the Owens Tying stronger knots As anglers we spend countless hours trying to improve every aspect of our fishing, from casting to tying that perfect fly. But one area that doesn’t always get as much attention is our knot tying. Most of us have a few knots that we have confidence in and don’t feel they are detrimental to our fishing. But what’s the point in making that perfect cast or tying that intricate fly only to have it break off the first time it snags bottom or even worse, hook that fish of a lifetime? Take a look at the knots you are using: are they the strongest possible for the situation? Is there something better you could be using? Are you tying them correctly? Again, no point in having the best knot if it is tied wrong. Most knots require an exact number of wraps to be their strongest. It may frustrate you a little learning a new knot that takes you longer to tie than your old knot, but it will save you time in the long run when you are not breaking off as often. In the end, it’s all about what you have confidence in, here are a few knots and tricks I have a lot of confidence in when it comes to my rigs. The first thing I would do is go out and buy yourself a Jarett Coons Columnist Tie-Fast Knot Tyer. This amazing little tool is a must have for EVERY fisherman. I use it to tie the Gryp Knot, basically a Nail Knot variation that is close to 100 percent. I use this knot in place of the Improved Clinch Knot which only has an 86 percent strength rating. I get my flies back every time they snag on the bottom and have even staightened out a few #10 streamer hooks while using it; the line or your rod will break before this knot does. Tippet rings are another way to add strength to your rigs, they are cheap, light and can even be used while dry fly fishing. I like to use them in place of Surgeon’s or Blood Knots when joining two lines of different size or material. Surgeon’s knots are weak, especially under shock and are likely to fail on the hook set when fishing fine tippets to large fish. Every now and then you will have to tie a loop and the Non Slip Loop is my favorite. It can be used when making leaders to have a quick connection to your fly line. It is also useful for tying on your streamer or lure and will allow it to have more action. Knots are just as important as knowing the hatch or being a good caster and can save you lots of valuable fishing time. Remember, the guy who catches the most fish isn’t the one with the best gear or most flies, it’s the guy who spends the most time with his line in the water. (Jarett Coons was born in Bishop and spent the majority of his life fishing and hunting from Lone Pine to Bridgeport. When his father took him to Intake II, Coons got his first trout on a dry fly, and he, too, was hooked. In January 2010, he started Sierra Mountain Trout Guide Service with the goal of recreating that moment on Intake II for his clients all over the Eastern Sierra.) Independence Fishing Derby Family friendly fishing tournament on Father’s Day weekend By Louis Israel Register Staff On Saturday, June 20, anglers looking to participate in a relaxed, family oriented fishing derby can head to the county seat for the annual Independence Fishing Derby. “It’s a family weekend, families come every year and get outdoors. It’s not hardcore. It’s a kicked back derby. We want the kids to have fun and have good fishing memories,” said Kelly Reade, a member of the committee running the derby. The prizes are many, mostly fishing based, and there are six different categories such as heaviest trout, heaviest trout stringer and a blind bogey. Each category has an adult as well as a junior (15 years and under) winner. Adding to the festivites, the Owens Valley School Booster Club will be selling food, there will be a silent auction and live music at the weigh-in. The weigh-in goes from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at Dehy Park and the awarding of prizes begins at 4 p.m. Mammoth Motocross roars into town Event is called the ‘granddaddy of them all’ for a reason By Mike Gervais Managing Editor, Mammoth Times Mammoth Lakes Motocross, a world-class motocross event popular among some of the industry’s top names, will be rolling into Mammoth June 20-28. The high-speed, high-flying competition is the longest-running continuous motocross event in the country and attracts spectators and competitors from all over. And at 8,000 feet of elevation, nestled in the jeffery pines surrounding Mammoth Lakes, organizers say it’s also one of the most scenic motocross events in the world. And while visitors are in Mammoth, motocross organizers are encouraging them to check out some of the other local sites. “Offthe-Track” activities that are being promoted include an RC car demo and race in the Village Plaza, beginning at 5:30 p.m. June 20, a “Moto Golf Tournament” at Sierra Star Golf Course June 26, the Monster Energy Mammoth Motocross Pit Bike and Motocross After-Party Luau at The Village Plaza on June 27 and much more. In addition to organized activities associated with motocross, the event website also directs visitors to different local activities like fishing, hiking, off-roading and mountain biking. The hope is to introduce as many new visitors to as many recreational opportunities as possible while they’re in town for the races. According to the Mammoth Motocross website, Mammoth Motocross all started back in 1968 when local resident Don Rake and some friends decided to put on a motocross event. They got together to build a track and got some support from then-Mammoth Mountain owner Dave McCoy. Over the years the track has evolved to accommodate the newer generations of riders, but The action at the Mammoth Motocross isn’t always on the ground; a lot of it is in negotiating air and landings. Photo © Susan Morning the idea behind the event and the goal of its organizers has remained the same: provide a world-class event for both spectators and riders. “Many of the top racers in the world have honed their skills at this event,” the website states. “There have been some epic battles over the years and many racers have made a name for themselves on this track.” Those riders include the likes of Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Rick Johnson, Johnny O’Mara, Broc Glover, Donny Schmitt, Steve Lamson, Gary Jones, Kevin Windham, David Bailey, Jeff Ward, Ron Lechien, Bob Hannah, James Stewart, Mike Bell, Donny Hansen and many more. As the years went on and the event grew in both the number of riders and spectators, it became one of the major amateur events for riders. This year’s event will include seasoned professional riders all the way down to the superstars of tomorrow racing in the mini classes. The motocross track is located off Sherwin Creek Road, about two miles from the intersection of Old Mammoth Road. There is a mandatory shuttle for entry to the track. This year Mammoth Motocross will welcome dozens of riders to the course and all are invited to come cheer them on at the course. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for children ages 7-11 and free for children under the age of 6. The gates open at 5 a.m. and races are set to start at 8 a.m. The motocross track is located off Sherwin Creek Road, about two miles from the intersection of Old Mammoth Road. There is a mandatory shuttle for entry. Those planning to attend are encouraged to bring their own chairs and sunscreen. The Inyo Register NATIONAL sports 15 THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2015 The Sportsbook Around the Leagues Golden State wins NBA Finals The Golden State Warriors have brought the NBA Championship to California. Not the Lakers, not even the Clippers or Kings. The Warriors are the 2015 Champs. The Cavaliers were injured. The Cavaliers just came together this year. The Cavaliers have a coach who is new to the NBA. But really, in this mercenary league, these are not excuses. The Warriors deserve every ounce of their win. They play a fast, shooting style of basketball. They made the big strategic change to start Iguodala when they were down 2-1 in the series – a throw of the dice based on an educated guess by an assistant coach who burned the midnight oil watching film – and it worked. They beat LeBron. Stephen Curry is a crazy player. Fun to watch. Yes, he’s off some nights. He’s not consistent enough to be mentioned with the true all-time greats. But that’s what makes him fun. He’s not perfect so you never know what to expect. And when he’s on? He’s as exciting from the three point line as Reggie Miller and his speedy crossover moves come in shades of Allen Iverson – not nearly as aggressive to the basket, but bonused from the threat that he can pass the ball with a wild agility and style. Again, not as consistent as Magic or Stockton with his passes, but when he’s on, he’s got tons of behind-the-back and no-look assist action to wow the crowd. And that kooky flingshot style looks awful when it misses, like he’s heaving at the basket – you see it and ask yourself, ‘is he really even trying?’ But then when it goes in, you realize how dangerous it is. The release is so quick, and he can chuck it from nearly any position, running, jumping, guarded, deep. Yes, chatted, and I now expect regular inside tips on injuries, scratches and doping. Kidding. (Call me.) • Louis Israel sports Columnist when he is on, that kooky quick shot is an unstoppable weapon. The Warriors had been taking little steps every year, and they beat LeBron without needing a game seven to do it. There can be no question. They came in as favorites and once the lineup fell into place, they dominated, even in a road game they didn’t absolutely need. The Warriors deserve every ounce of the Championship. Eat your heart out Lakers and Clippers. California is the Golden State. • • • Correction: I received a call from a thoroughbred owner who pointed out that Secretariat was not the 37-years-ago last triple crown winner as I wrote last week; it was Affirmed who won it in 1978 and Seattle Slew the year before that. Secretariat’s record run was in 1973. My excuse is, I got confused watching someone’s online movie. They put Secretariat’s run on a split screen with American Pharoah’s run so you could see just how fast Secretariat went – and it was pretty darned fast. Check it out on deadspin.com. And I stand corrected. But the big takeaway from this is, there’s a thoroughbred owner reading the Sportsbook. Seriously. We • • I was in Nevada and I figured I’d lock in some NFL bets on the early lines. I like the Colts this year and they open as a -2.5 favorite on the road against the Bills on kickoff Sunday. It’ll be the start of the Rex Ryan era in Buffalo so they’ll be chomping at the bit to start with a win, but the Colts are a Superbowl caliber team. They’ll be fully deadly from the first snap. What did irk me is that the Colts’ owner, Jim Irsay, made a passionate speech to the team about it being time to win the championship. That’s all well and good, but I was going to bet on it – I don’t need a bunch of articles drawing attention to the already awesome Colts and dropping the odds. They were 8-1 to win it all before Irsay’s speech and 6-1 after it. The team believes, the gamblers believe, the oddsmakers believe, and the payoff dropped. So I left it alone for now. I need an injury or scandal to get it back up to 8-1 or 10-1 before I make the bet. Maybe Luck will get drunk and twist his ankle. (He won’t though. That guy is thinking nothing but Superbowl for a year now. The Colts are a great pick to win this year.) By the way, Pats -2.5 hosting the Steelers and Seahawks -3.5 at Rams also look like good bets to me on opening weekend.

Blackhawks win Stanley Cup The Chicago Blackhawks won their third Stanley Cup in the last six years on Monday night, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 and taking the best-of-seven championship final 4-2. When the Blackhawks scored their second goal in the third period Monday, it was the first time in six games that either team led by more than one goal, that’s how close this series was. It’s Chicago’s sixth Stanley Cup overall, having previously won in 1934, 1938 and 1961, as well as the two recent titles in 2010 and 2013. The Lightning offense struggled against a swarming Blackhawk defense in this deciding game. Duncan Keith, unanimous choice for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and Patrick Kane scored the two goals needed for victory earlier this week. Keith became the ninth defenseman in history to win the MVP award. With six Stanley Cup’s now under their belt, and three in the last six years, this was the first time in 77 years that they got to celebrate on their home ice. Goalie Corey Crawford was spectacular all night long in the net as he had 23 saves, winning his fourth game of the final in which he surrendered one goal or less. It was Craig Jackson sports Columnist his second shutout of the playoffs. Defensive dominance, although not pretty to watch sometimes, wins championships and that’s where the Blackhawks thrived. Blackhawk star winger Patrick Kane had a goal, his first of the Stanley Cup Final, and an assist on defenseman Duncan Keith’s goal to ignite the victory. The first period of game 6 saw the Blackhawks earn two power plays and have golden chances to score on both, but failed to do so. This offensive inability, not only by the Blackhawks, resulted in a scoreless first period. NHL Commisioner Gary Bettman tagged the Blackhawks as a dynasty, and the frenzied crowd of 22,424 at the United Center in Chicago, agreed sincerely. It was an appropriate ending to a series that was full of close calls and near misses that had fans of both teams on the edge of their seats for almost two weeks. The series was so close that it was only the second final to begin with five one-goal games, and no team enjoyed a two-goal advantage until Patrick Kane scored on an absolutely beautifully-placed pass from Brad Richards at 14:46 of the third period. The Blackhawks became the first team since the Detroit Red Wings won it all in 1997, 1998 and 2002 to win three titles in a six-year span. The salary cap in the NHL is designed specifically to create parity and prevent dominance by one team. The Blackhawks have been destroying that notion for six seasons on the strength of the “great group of guys” at the core of their success. Dynasty or not, this Blackhawks team proved they were the best and showed it on their home ice.

An avid hiker and lover of the outdoors, he is also a diehard sports fan, especially baseball and football. He mostly enjoys hiking in the Sierra Nevada with his son Kevin.) A Sporting View Shift happens The next time you see David Ortiz or Ryan Howard lose what would have been a sure base hit had there not been a concentration of seven guys with gloves milling about in the spot the ball went, know that what you are seeing is nothing new. Credit a guy they called “Old Shufflefoot” for the defensive shift, one time called “the Boudreau shift” after the creator, or “the Ted Williams shift,” the guy it was invented for. The story goes that Lou Boudreau, the player-manager of the Cleveland Indians, decided to employ the shift during the second game of a doubleheader with the Red Sox. Williams, despite his reputation and self-assertion of being the greatest hitter of all time, was a one-trick pony at the plate in that he was a dead-pull hitter. The game previous he had pulled three homers to beat the Indians by a run, and Boudreau, who was considered one of the best hitters in the game, decided it might be a good ploy. Williams had an ego and nobody thought he would drop a bunt to the vacated field to his left. It’s interesting that Boudreau’s name should come up. He is a bit of a trivia answer. He was the last Mark Vasto sports columnist American League playermanager, and unlike Pete Rose, the last player-manager, he successfully guided Cleveland to its last championship and won a batting title and MVP to boot. He integrated the AL by starting Larry Doby, and did something way cool by signing Satchel Paige for a pennant chase. Along the way he handled the scorching grounder – barehanding it at face level after a bad hop, no less – that ended Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak. Even though the infield shift was used a time or two in the old days, there are few anecdotes pointing to the fact that it was used to the degree it is today, which, anecdotally speaking, is a lot. A lot, lot. Like, every game, a lot. Ty Cobb called Williams “stupid” for not bunting against the shift like he would. Today, former hitting stars like Don Mattingly are urging players to learn how to hit to all fields. In a recent op-ed, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt pointed out that for many players, it’s too late to change. This is ironic because, in the AL at least, the designated hitter rule has finally done what it was marketed to do in the first place, namely extend the careers of aging stars. Alex Rodriguez and Ortiz fit that bill perfectly. But defenders of the shift argue that it’s something that will work itself out. Personally, I don’t want to see Mark Texeira or Ryan Howard bunt and run every game, and I don’t want to explain to my kid why the third baseman is guarding the line – at first base. This is silly. The game only had one flaw, and it was fixed when they instituted the infield fly rule. We say that runners have to remain in the base paths, fielders should field their positions. Enough of this shift.

The film made $204,600,000 the opening weekend. The actors of the movie are Chris Pratt as Owen, Bryce Dallas Howard as Clare, Ty Simpkins as Gray, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Hoskins. The director of the film is Colin Trevorrow. The film is 124 minutes long. “Jurassic World” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of science fiction violence and peril. The story of the Bryce Lyons CoLUmnIST film was written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Fun Facts: Chris Pratt is also in “The Lego Movie” with Will Ferrell. Review: I thought “Jurassic World” had more action than the original because of all the dinosaur carnage. I’m not surprised that after 22 years the Jurassic Park trilogy is still a hit. I think this movie is a great creature feature because of all the different dinosaurs. Some aspects of the movie were similar to the original movie, “Jurassic Park.” In both movies the dinosaurs got loose and the kids in the film were trying to escape. About Bryce: I was born and raised in Bishop. I live with my mom, dad and my sister, Presley. I go to Bishop Elementary School and I’m going into fifth grade. I’m also a huge movie buff. Many Western fans take pleasure in seeing formulaic plots propelled by competent actors creating suspenseful and entertaining films while they slicker on the silver screen. You may not see a new, innovative film, with groundbreaking performance. For little over an hour you will escape the humdrum days through action, crisp editing and fast-paced plots not dependent on expensive art direction but on beautiful if stark landscapes. You are never bored as long as you relax, put away your critical filmic eye and just be prepared to be entertained. That’s why thousands of Westerns have been produced and still are on a straight-to-video or Internet basis. Sadly, going out on location is not as inexpensive as it once was. “The Hired Gun” (1957) is one of those films. One critic damned it by saying it could have been made for television – a curse in the 1950s, but now with Netflix, HBO and the rest, a compliment. Rory Calhoun as Gil McCord and Anne Francis as the falsely accused husbandkiller, Ellen Belden, are professional, at ease and in full mastery of the B-Western slick, low-budget style of film production. Belden has been indicted and is ready to be hanged for murder of her husband when Jud Farrow (Chuck Connors) breaks her out of jail for his ranch-owner uncle. He wants to make time with her, and although appreciative, she is clear she wants no part of him. This is not the hero of television’s “The Rifleman,” but a cad that we wait to get his comeuppance. Now Mace Belden, Ellen’s father-in-law, employs a hired gun named Gil McCord (Rory Calhoun) to bring her back to face hanging. Calhoun was a coproducer and turned out a couple of these Westerns with his agent, Victor Orsini. It is Elby Kirby (Big Boy Quinn Williams) who has lied about what he saw. Ellen is convinced it was her brother-in-law, Kell Belden (Vince Edwards, before Dr. Kildare fame) who did the murder. As you can see, if you are a Western fan it is a Geek Girl High hopes for Marvel’s ‘Civil War’ movie Talk has recently surfaced that Mark Ruffalo will be in “Captain America: Civil War” as Bruce Banner/ Hulk. That’s all well and good, but his possible addition has highlighted for me just how many other characters are in this movie. So far we have Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Vision, Ant-Man, Black Panther and War Machine repping the Avengers plus a bunch of Captain America supporting players like Bucky Barnes, Crossbones, Agent 13 (Sharon Carter) and Baron Zemo. On the one hand, such a large cast of characters brings the feeling you get when you read a big comic mini-series. We love it when a major event brings everyone together and we get to see our favorite characters interact. From a common sense standpoint, all these characters live in the same universe so naturally they are going to get together when something major happens. Of course, it’s much easier to do this when the people involved are made of ink and don’t come with ego, salary and contract demands. How many times have we seen a TV show or movie where a character doesn’t return for something major like a funeral, wedding or when Hydra takes over S.H.E.I.L.D. where there is no logical explanation storywise not to do so. In reality the answer is usually that this guy wanted more money or this one’s too big of a star now to play such a small role or those two hate each other in real life and can’t be on the same set. That’s why it is so remarkable that Marvel Studios was able to assemble the “Civil War” cast. I bet a ton of money and plenty of back stage deals were involved. The filmmakers will now have a full arsenal to tell this story with the scope and detail necessary to tell it effectively. But how many times have we seen franchise pictures, particularly superhero movies, fail spectacularly when they try to juggle a lot of characters and story lines in one two-and-a-half-hour movie? Can “Captain America: Civil War” do justice to such a key Marvel story that should set the stage for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Jennifer eLLis CoLUmnIST years to come in such a limited medium? I don’t know, but if they can pull this off it will be the most awesomest movie ever! … Speaking of the most awesomest things ever, “Game of Thrones” recently ended its fifth season and it was epic! After a slow-start, the season ended at the show’s highest level yet, creatively speaking. The writing, acting, directing, and special effects are operating on all cylinders. I got my wish from last column and GoT certainly brought the drama. The finale was a bloodbath as there were some major, game-changing deaths; one in particular would have me in tears if I actually thought that said death would stick. That character has to be brought back to life magically or I, along with a large portion of the world, will riot. I say that a lot in my life, but I will seriously burn something down if (name redacted) is not resurrected. It’s not because I’m so enamored of this character (though I do like the character), it’s because I have invested a lot of time into (name redacted)’s story. In the book series and TV show, this character has been set up as a key figure to the saga’s conclusion. If all that time has been a wasted effort or a misdirect, I will scream with rage. You will most likely hear me from your respective homes. If about 10 months from now you happen to hear a primal scream like someone is losing her mind, it’ll probably be just me watching “Game of Thrones.” (Jennifer Ellis holds a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from U.C. Santa Cruz, but is most proud of her George R.R. Martin autographs.) Anne Francis, frequent Lone Pine Film Festival guest, filmed “Bad Day at Black Rock” in Lone Pine in 1955 and returned two years later to star in the lower-budget “The Hired Gun.” Photo courtesy Chris Langley very respectable if young cast. McCord forces a confession from a very seedy Kirby. By the way, to my knowledge, Big Boy has the distinction of being the only actor so employed at the town who was thrown out of Lone Pine by the law for his drunken misbehavior. McCord gets an order from the judge to stop Ellen’s execution and as he sees his chances dwindling, Kell tries to shoot it out with the “Hired Rifle.” What counts in these movies is the profit and this film made a total $850,000 gross and $169,000 profit for the studio – by today’s standards a mere pittance, but in those days it was not bad. Modern critic Dennis Schwartz summarized his take on the film just recently released on DVD: “Flatly directed and acted as if it were for a TV show.” He goes on to write, “Calhoun is cool as a cucumber as the gunman. Whether he’s posing as a ranch hand, beating the crap outta Chuck Connors or talking tough to Anne Francis.” The critic writes, “She (Anne Francis) was one of the only members of the cast and crew who hadn’t experienced the rigors of shooting a Western on location.” Later he quotes Jock Mahoney about the rigors of filming on location. Mahoney had worked with director Ray Nazarrro on a lot of pictures. Ray didn’t particularly like women in the cast and he’d make them his whipping boy. Schwartz went on, “So, everyone on the picture was fully expecting to see the young actress suffer while in Lone Pine. She was determined to deny them that satisfaction. Anne Francis said later, “Rory and I were in the saddle from morning until night. I suspect he was tired, I know I was. But I wouldn’t have admitted it for all the gold in Fort Knox.” Schwartz also wrote in his review, “Director of Photography Harold J. Marzorati captures Lone Pine, with snow-covered mountaintops in the distance, in stunning black and white Cinemascope. Lone Pine always looks terrific in black and white – check out a Tim Holt picture or two for further proof – and the wide-frame makes it all the more dramatic.” The Inyo Independent on June 7, 1957 covered this shoot, the first of the season they called it. “The company is using two sets of cameras in the filming, with Harold Mazarote as director of photography … Several Lone Pine residents have been working with the unit in capacity of drivers, wranglers and extras. The 85 members of the crew are being housed in five motels and the Dow Hotel. They expect to complete shooting this week.” The film gets off to an action packed start, and then there is the long, exciting sequence in the southern part of Lone Ranger Canyon where McCord and Belden encounter a small band of Indians. Soon they are dismounting in an almost violent way in an area just behind the large rocks in the canyon. The area is easy to pick out but is significantly over grown with brush when it was nearly clear in 1957. This kind of choreographed action is what B-Westerns of this type did best. Finally, I had the pleasure of working with Anne Francis during several Film Festivals. She had wonderful stories to tell about friction between Tracy and Brennan on the “Black Rock” set. Then I moderated a panel with her director Ron Underwood and other notables from “Tremors” on a sci-fi theme. Francis had just made “Forbidden Planet” before coming back to Lone Pine, and she was a much recognizable star in this picture than she had been in “Black Rock.” She was a pleasure to work with.
