The employee, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of being fired, said she and her coworkers were last paid on Nov. 14 for the pay INDEX Arts................... 16 Badge................. 8 Calendar............ 7 Classifieds........ 12 Sports.............. 14 Pro Sports........ 15 TV Listings.......... 8 Weather............. 2 QUOTE OF THE DAY “Thanksgiving is America’s national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty.” – Michael Dresser Copyright ©2015 Horizon Publications, Inc. Vol. 145, Issue 1 period ending Oct. 24. “We are currently three to four paychecks behind,” she said, adding there is no information coming from the hospital’s administration. Attempts to reach SIH CEO Lee Barron were not successful Tuesday. At a community meeting in Lone Pine last month regarding the future of SIH, Southern Inyo Healthcare District Board Member Andrew Wickman said the SIH board has confidence in Barron. She’s “really, really good at keeping the hospital afloat, and has been doing it for a long time,” Wickman said at the meeting. When the hospital had cash-flow problems that prompted late payroll payments, he said Barron worked to provide some money to employees, kept unpaid vendors providing services and eventually got all bills and payroll obligations paid. The hospital and clinic employ about 180 people in Lone Pine, which makes the district a major employer that “has a major impact on the local economy,” Wickman has said. When it comes to the hospital’s cash-flow difficulties, Wickman has said “it’s not unusual for small, rural hospitals” to find themselves facing cash-flow problems. The hospital’s revenues come from private insurance, Medicare and Medi-Cal and any delayed, large payments from one source, which is not uncommon, can cause problems. Plus, it can take months to even get a payment from those sources, he added. But the hospital employee said while the hospital administration tries to wrestle its finances back into shape some of her coworkers “will be going without some of the basics during this holiday season.” “Worrying about how the rent will be paid, how they will put gasoline in their cars or how they will feed themselves and their families – this will be a very hard Christmas and holiday season for many in our community.” Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kathleen New said the payroll woes at the hospital have rippled throughout the community. “It effects us profoundly,” New said. “People are dissatisfied. People are very unhappy.” New said anyone can relate to the anxiety of someone who is working and yet can’t rely on getting a paycheck, especially during the holidays. “There is never a good time for this to happen,” New said, “but this hit at the most inconvenient time.” While New said she believes the hospital is working on resolving the issue and that an answer ultimately be found, the trepidation in the community continues. “This makes life a little See hospital E Page 6 750 Keough is pictured waving his hand to show the extent of the fire that displaced his family from their home. Photo by Mike Chacanaca Crews continue to repair Death Valley flood damage Costs anticipated to run into the millions of dollars By Jon Klusmire Register Correspondent Death Valley Scotty would pull a roll of hundred dollar bills out of his pocket to “prove” that his secret gold mine in Death Valley was not only real, but worth your investment. Chicago millionaire Albert Johnson became enchanted by Scotty’s convivial personality and invested. But not in the gold mine, whose location remains a mystery. Instead, Johnson provided the money to build Scotty’s Castle, the sprawling, ornate home that has become one of the most popular stops for visitors to Death Valley National Park. So now would be a good time for someone to stumble upon Death Valley Scotty’s secret gold mine, since torrential rains and catastrophic floods on Oct. 18 caused up to $25 million in damage to the Scotty’s Castle complex. The castle, with its distinctive See castle E Page 6 A debris field is piled up against the Up-Canyon side of the Scotty’s Castle Visitor Center.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 A-3 Mountain lion activity reported in Crowley Lake area Mono County Sheriff’s Office reports llama killed, dog mauled Register Staff The Mono County Sheriff’s Office has reported a mountain lion attacked and killed a llama near Willowbrook Road on Nov. 21 and a dog was attacked and badly mauled near Mountain View Drive Nov. 17. “We do not know if both attacks were by the same mountain lion,” according to a Mono County Sheriff’s Office press release. Mountain lions are solitary and elusive, and their nature is to avoid humans. They are most active at dawn, dusk and night. Mountain lions prefer deer, but they also eat pets and livestock. In extremely rare cases, people have fallen prey to mountain lions. Although mountain lions are neither threatened nor endangered, they are a specially protected species in California, and it is illegal to hunt or otherwise take a mountain lion absent specific circumstances. Mountain lions that threaten people are immediately killed. Those that prey on pets or livestock can be killed by a property owner after the required depredation permit is secured. Moving problem mountain lions is not an option. It causes deadly conflicts with other mountain lions already there, or the relocated mountain lion returns. To keep family and animals safe, the sheriff’s office offers the following advice: • Do not hike, bike, or jog alone and avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active. • Don’t leave small children or pets outside unattended. Stuff-A-Bus kick off in Bishop deemed a success Food drive for the Salvation Army to continue through Dec. 4 Register Staff Jill Batchelder, with the Eastern Sierra Transit Authority, said the KIBS live remote on Nov. 21 at Kmart in coordination with Eastern Sierra Transit’s Stuff-A-Bus and Coats for Kids was a heartwarming event. Eastern Sierra Transit Authority holds the food drive in an effort to help keep Salvation Army’s food bank well stocked heading into the holiday season. She said special thanks should go out to KIBS, the Bishop Lion’s Club, Bishop High School Leos Club, Sierra Crest 4H, Britt’s Diesel, New-Cali Landscapes and “to all that stopped by and dropped off cans, bags and baskets full of food. The Stuff-A-Bus Food Drive will continue through Dec. 4. For any groups or businesses who wish to donate non-perishable food or coats, Eastern Sierra Transit will pick-up donations at no charge and deliver them to the Salvation Army. Call 872-1901, ext. 22, to schedule a donation pick-up. In past years, the Stuff-ABus drive has generated hundreds of pounds of food donation, which are delivered directly from ESTA’s bus to the Salvation Army. • Keep a close watch on small children. • Do not approach a mountain lion. • If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children. • If attacked, fight back. • If a mountain lion attacks a person, immediately call 911. • Don’t feed deer; it is illegal in California and it will attract mountain lions. • Deer-proof landscaping by avoiding plants that deer like to eat. • Trim brush to reduce hiding places for mountain lions. • Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house. • Provide sturdy, covered shelters for sheep, goats, and other vulnerable animals. • Don’t allow pets outside when mountain lions are most active. • Bring pet food inside to avoid attracting potential mountain lion prey.

And we who live in Inyo County have plenty for which to give thanks. Beyond the scenic wonder surrounding us, offering places to hike, fish, off-road or seek solitude, we live in a truly unique community where neighbors still look out for neighbors. Such was the case on Friday when a fire broke out and could have burned down two houses on Keough Street in Bishop. Disaster might have struck if not for the fast-acting work of the Bishop Volunteer Fire Department, the Bishop Police Department, the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol. Bishop Fire Chief Ray Seguine said the fire was called in by the resident of 762 Keough after he came home from dropping his wife off at work. Video from cameras outside one of the homes, Seguine said, indicated that the fire had only been burning approximately one minute before being reported. “If (it had been) any longer, 762 would really have been ripping for us,” Seguine noted. Apparently a woman was sleeping on a couch in one of the homes and was woken by a sheriff’s deputy before she suffered any injuries. But, as discussed at Monday’s Bishop City Council meeting, this is nothing new. During a presentation regarding winter emergency preparedness, Inyo County Administrator Kevin Carunchio pointed out that while the county is ready to set up emergency shelters if necessary, area churches, organizations like the Salvation Army, local businesses and residents often are more than happy to help out neighbors or even stranded strangers. Without the expense of setting up cots and tents, travelers can usually find a “warming place” for a cup of coffee and a place to sit until roads clear. That’s what makes Inyo County so special. That’s why we have many reasons to be thankful. Where to get your thanksgiving on Inyo County residents who are facing a lonely Turkey Day don’t have to eat alone because of community organizations that we would should continue to be grateful to have.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In light of Paris, the president should be doing more Immediately following the terror attacks in Paris, the French president ordered his air force to carpet bomb ISIS strongholds regardless of location. In addition he activated 5,000 French Marines and 5,000 special forces to further protect his country. Our president, not to be outdone, chose the occasion to soothe the French president with poetry: “The skies over Paris have been blackened” and “America stands in solidarity with France.” I don’t understand the meaning of these inept remarks. It is only a matter of time before our country suffers a similar tragedy. There are only two organizations allowed to act covertly in defense of our county without presidential authority: the FBI and the CIA. FBI Director James Comey Jr., one of the most capable administrators in the country, reminded us several months ago that the manpower at his disposal cannot possibly protect all of us in every place! There are many organizations with police authority and it will take every one of them to give us maximum protection. Even then, complete protection is not possible.

The joint chiefs commander everything that is military in the United States of America and U.S. forces stationed in several other countries. The other organization needing the president’s order is the National Guard. The in-country military and the National Guard would add immensely to the protection of our nation. Without the necessary orders from the president, I fear that many of us will be killed. Bob Rubenstein Bishop Get the news. Get the story. The Inyo Register www.inyoregister.com Mammoth Hospital grateful for historic donation of funds I wanted to share with the entire Eastern Sierra community the news of the recent contribution made by our incredible Mammoth Hospital Auxiliary in the amount of $190,000 to purchase new lifesaving medical equipment for our hospital. This is the single largest donation made by any individual or group to Mammoth Hospital in our 37-year history and we are extremely grateful! The donated funds were generated by the thousands of volunteer man-hours donated by the dedicated members of the auxiliary to operate the Cast Off Thrift Store and the sale of their large inventory donated by generous community members. The Cast Off provides our entire community with a wonderful opportunity to purchase prior-owned clothing, furnishings, and treasures of all kinds in good condition for pennies on the dollar. Those pennies obviously add up as our auxiliary has donated in excess of $3.6 million dollars to our hospital over the years! These funds have been instrumental to our success and vital to our mission … “to protect the well-being and improve the health of our residents and guests.” The Mammoth Hospital Auxiliary and their Cast Off Thrift Store represent the best in community volunteerism and are an inspiration to all of us who work at Mammoth Hospital. We thank everyone for their support of the auxiliary’s efforts and invite you to stop by their beautiful, clean, efficient and friendly store located on Chateau Road in Mammoth Lakes to shop, browse, make a donation, or become a member of their amazing team!

There are dumpsters cracked open, there is garbage strewn about the snow. There are bear tracks here, bear tracks there, bear tracks everywhere. It’s late-November. By now, most years, Mammoth’s bears have long gone to den. What on earth are the bears doing still out and about? Mammoth’s Bear Whisperer, Steve Searles, has an answer for that question – and it’s the one you might think. “We used to have a shoulder season, a time when the visitors went home and the bears didn’t have any food they could get to,” he said. “That gave the bears the signal it was time to shut down. A lot of people think it’s the snow, the dark days that makes the bears den down but it’s not that really. Bears are just big stomachs on four feet. They have found out that zoo bears and bears that are fed all year around don’t den down so it’s when the food supply in Nature disappears, around now, that bears bed down. Here, that usually coincides with the end of our tourist season and it’s just the locals who know how to keep bears out of their cans so their food supply dries up.” The same food supply issue happens across the country; summer cabins get closed up, the roads and campgrounds empty and finally, there is nothing left lb.

We went from mountain biking and hiking to the Mountain opening and there was not shoulder season. “That means there are a lot of people out there doing silly stuff. I’ve had 10 calls this morning, a bear getting into some ones’ car, a bear licking up a gallon of spilled grease behind a dumpster. We cited the person who allowed the grease to dump and they didn’t think of it as any big deal but you know what that’s going to do? It’s going to make sure that bear doesn’t down for another two weeks, it’s got so much fat and calories running through its system. Its biology won’t shut down like it would have, so it won’t eat or drink or defecate.” The constant food supply by clueless visitors is something Searles deals with all summer, but the shoulder season is typically a very calm time and this year, that down time didn’t last long enough to trigger the bears to bed down he said. It’s going to take incredible discipline for the locals and visitors both to step back on the brakes and remember to lock all the town’s dumpsters and clean out there cars every night but that’s what will need to happen if the bears are going to get some muchneeded sleep, he said. The coyotes and ravens and bobcats will thank you for it too.

The Inyo Register A-6 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 castle fire Continued from front page home uninhabitable. Ken Tiedemann said the fire, which started next door at 762 Keough, spread to his house when a fence between the backyards of the two residences went up in flames. Tiedemann described the damage to his home, saying that the windows along side of the house where the fire was concentrated all burst from the heat, fire damaged the roof at the back of the residence, and the bedroom used by him and his wife also was damaged by flames, which burned the mattress, headboard, and night stand inside the room. Sherry Tiedemann added a twin-size mattress used by one of the grandsons was damaged by water. “There is smoke damage everywhere in the house,” Ken Tiedemann said. “The back roof needs to be replaced, along with the electrical line to the water heater.” Other repairs Tiedemann described included replacement of stucco that was exposed to the flames and all of the insulation in the attic. “The insurance adjuster said that the fire was only moments from causing a real mess,” Ken Tiedemann said. Sherry Teidemann said the family still was assessing the loss from the fire, and until they could get inside the house, it was difficult to know the extent of the damage. She added that Ken and she would need their bed replaced, along with a twin bed to replace the one that was damaged by water. For now, Sherry Tiedemann said she doesn’t want to think about finding temporary housing until she knows for certain if the family will be able to get back into the house anytime soon and be able to live there while damaged portions are repaired. “I would like to wall off the damaged area and live in the undamaged part,” Sherry Tiedemann said. “But I don’t know if that is even possible.” On the day of the fire, Sherry Tiedemann was home alone, sleeping on a couch in the family room. She was unaware of the blaze outside until roused from her slumber by Inyo County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Chris Connolly who came into the house checking for occupants. Sherry Tiedemann recalls it was difficult for her to think about what was happening when she was unexpectedly woken up. “It was very difficult to process,” Sherry Tiedemann said. ”(Connolly was) yelling commands and I’m trying to do what he wants, but I am also thinking about what I need to take.” Connolly, who was only a block away from the home when he heard the fire department toned out on the radio, was the first emergency responder to arrive at the house. When he learned from a neighbor, who also had fire burning at the back of his home, that it was not known if anyone was inside the Teidemann’s house, Connolly said he went to the front door and started pounding on it. After not receiving a response from inside, Connolly said he tried the door, found it unlocked, and stepped into the house where he began shouting “Sheriff’s department, come out, come out.” Once inside Connolly said he found Sherry Tiedemann waking up from a nap. Connolly said he was telling her she needed to get out, while she began gathering up some items such as shoes. It was when a small explosion was heard outside the home that Connolly said he became more insistent Tiedemann evacuate, which she did. For now, the Teidemanns are uncertain what the future holds in regards to where they will be living, but on Thanksgiving the family will be celebrating the holiday with friends who have invited them to dinner. Continued from front page turrets and towers, only sustained minor damage to the building and the treasure trove of furnishings and art inside the structure. But several other buildings on the site were flooded with mud and roads and other infrastructure were washed out or destroyed. Since the deluge of water and mud, Park Service crews from across the United States made significant progress to clear mud and debris from the site. To date, about 100,000 cubic feet of mud and silt have been removed from the site. Much of that dirt and debris was moved using shovels and wheelbarrows, and in some instances by removing handfuls of dirt from around artifacts and buildings. Crews have also placed about 2,000 sandbags on grounds to protect from any future rainstorms, according to a Park Service press release. The initial damage and ongoing clean-up efforts mean the Scotty’s Castle Historic District will remain closed for the foreseeable future. .While there is no estimate on when the Castle complex might reopen to visitors, rebuilding the access road to the site will likely be a key consideration. About five miles of Bonnie Claire Road was washed out or otherwise deemed impassable, and will need to be replaced. The Park Service noted that the road had been straightened and widened last year at a cost of about $10 million. Damages to the infrastructure and buildings in the 1920s-era historic district could eventually total an additional $10-15 million, the Park Service estimated. The flooding was called “a catastrophic event” by Park Superintendent Mike Reynolds. Indeed, after the rain stopped, the official rainfall total was 2.7 inches in a matter of hours (the area averages 4 inches of rain a year), and just several miles away, another 3.5 inches fell. The resulting flood through Grapevine Canyon flowed at an estimated rate of 93,000 cubic feet per second, which made it a 1,000-year flood event. The flooding put the park’s staff into “sprint mode” during the initial response, which included evacuating visitors and staff stranded by the flood waters and debris. As the days passed, the Park Service shifted into “marathon mode,” Reynolds said in a statement. “We’re gearing up for a long, hard recovery.” A Park Service Incident Management Team, construction and maintenance crews, and various specialists from parks throughout California arrived on the scene shortly after the flooding to begin the task of digging out from the mud flows. Eventually, National Parks from across the US sent workers to the site. What they found was a daunting chore. First, a temporary road had to be cleared to just reach the site. The same mud flows that destroyed the road also wiped out 34 electric poles and lines to the site, destroyed the water treatment plant and all the water lines on the grounds, and deposited debris piles up to 15 feet above ground in places. The historic Garage/ Longshed building was heavily damaged, with mud piling up about 5 feet high on the outside Scotty’s Castle swimming pool still is full of mud and water Photo courtesy U.S. National Park Service and about 3 feet deep inside. The building serves as the site’s visitor center, and all the books, office equipment and furniture were damaged and will have to be replaced. The garage houses several antique cars and workers had to dig them out by hand, one small scoop at a time, as a video of the work showed. The building itself was “severely damaged,” Reynolds said, and it will take time to assess the structure and determine how much of the building can be salvaged or repaired. While heavy equipment was used to clear the parking lot and other spots, workers using shovels and wheelbarrows cleared out the hardened mud in the buildings. In addition to the Garage building, the historic Hacienda had up to two feet of mud inside, and the Cook House got a few inches of mud, the Park Service noted. Although the castle’s pool remains full of water, the mud and other debris has mostly been cleared from most buildings and other parts of the complex. In an encouraging sign of the progress made to restore the site, the spring water that flows through the Scotty’s Castle site has been re-directed back into its pre-flood streambed. the employees said. “It has become increasingly difficult to serve under these circumstances.” The employee said the first time paychecks were late was in February. She said not much has been reported about the situation because hospital employees want to keep their jobs so they don’t talk about it publicly. “I know that there are many employees that are afraid to speak out for fear of losing the one job they do have,” she said. She is not as confident as New that the payroll situation will be resolved. “Nothing short of a miracle will save our community hospital,” she said. “So please ask the community to keep us in their thoughts and prayers.” hospital Continued from front page scary,” New said. The employee said while she has family and resources and is making it, other SIH employees might not be able to get through an extended time period without a paycheck. “We have been trying to keep our chins up and serve our patients and our community with kindness and grace,” The Inyo Register THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 A-7 Couch potato husband is getting beyond annoying Dear Annie: I have been married for 50 years and don’t think I can stand one more day. The man I am married to was once everything to me. Now, as each day passes, I grow more resentful. I like him less and less, almost to the point of hatred. He has always been a good provider. He worked while I stayed at home and raised our five children. Back then, I would never have expected him to come home and help around the house. But things are different now. It’s just the two of us and our animals. We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this large fivebedroom house. He refuses to help with anything. He lies on the sofa and channel surfs while I do everything. There is nothing physically wrong with him. His doctor says he’s in great shape. He shows no sign of mental decline either. Downsizing to a smaller home is not an option for him. He likes it here. I have told him how I feel time and again, and that I’d like his help around the house, but he just looks at me. Maybe he wants a divorce and is too cowardly to verbalize it. In any event, I am past the point of caring. I just want out. – Old and Trapped Dear Trapped: Your husband may not want out. He may simply want to sit on the sofa while you do all the work. And you are doing it, so he sees no reason to change. You have some options: You can stop doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry for him, letting his clothes pile up and his food remain uncooked; you can look into hiring help; you can get counseling; you can seek legal counsel and leave, COMMUNITY CALENDAR Private businesses or groups holding events for profit are not eligible to use this section.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY The positions of Saturn and Neptune suggest that some things we thought could be accomplished through straightforward efforts will require a different level of skill than anticipated. This could be more stress than it’s worth. Try and see it as an opportunity to recognize the basics that really matter – togetherness, kindness and compassion. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Much will depend on how feelings are expressed and interpreted. In today’s outpouring of emotion, you may discover the particulars of your own love language. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s likely that you’re feeing blocked in a project. The remedy is simple: research. It’s the preliminary step. The second step is brainstorming. Do not attempt to be proficient without these two steps. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be very aware of how you are evolving inside of a group environment and the extent of your influence. There’s a feeling from the entire setting that no single person is responsible for but everyone contributes to. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Obstacles are opportunities to learn.

TAURUS: A dynamic joint purpose makes for a wonderful date. GEMINI: You like best the one who makes you feel free to be totally yourself. CANCER: You’ll find the perfect action to show your love -- far better than the perfect words. LEO: The best dates will be fresh experiences, so as tempting as it is to hit the same spots you feel comfortable within, it will be better to get out of your element. VIRGO: Don’t let the night wear on. Go home when you get tired! LIBRA: You have discerning tastes and will treat another as you put the “lux” in “luxury.” SCORPIO: Keep the spirit of competition out of a romance. It won’t fit there this weekend. SAGITTARIUS: Beware of setting up unrealistic expectations of others and make sure they don’t have any of you. CAPRICORN: You’re the only one who can say whether a relationship is working for you. Avoid meddlers. AQUARIUS: You’ll meet your muse. PISCES: Give your opinion when it’s asked of you; otherwise, hold back and build a beautiful mystery. COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius is the sign of wandering, of following the wild call and answering the spirit of adventure. Cancer is the sign of setting up fort, creating comfortable surroundings and investing in the people who make us feel cozy and safe. So even though these two signs are generally oriented in different directions, the current sun and moon positions have them searching each other’s eyes for what they long for.

If he doesn’t, at least you will know and can plan your future accordingly. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Need Some Relief,” I thought I’d share how our family handles Christmas with four adult children and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren (and an occasional visiting in-law). Dinner is at our house every year. Everyone participates by graciously bringing a dish. One son’s family prepares the turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Another brings all the drinks. We prepare stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. Others bring apple and pumpkin pies. Traditional! We discuss dishes in advance, so there are no duplicates. It is such fun and each family feels good about sharing. New recipes are exchanged. We also decided Dear Happy: Your letter is refreshing. This is what holidays are all about. Or should be. Kathy & Marcy to forego gift-giving and do a $5 Christmas exchange. We all sit in a circle holding our “special number,” anxiously awaiting our turn to pick the wrapped gift of our choice.

(IR 11/26/15, #11905) The Inyo Register sports A-14 thursday, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 To hunt or fish, that’s the question The general fishing season closed on Sunday November 15, 2015. While the general season waters are closed, the important fly-fishing waters, for me, stay open year round and will offer great fishing all winter. I will spend most of my time fishing the upper and lower Owens River and maybe a trip to Hot Creek after a day of skiing. Whether I fish or not will depend on the weather and what the ducks are doing. I’ve been getting out once a week since opener. I’m still looking for that perfect day where I set up in the right spot, the birds work into my decoy spread, and I kill more then I miss. In the summer of 2000 I got on the Internet, which was in its infancy, to find a solution to keeping a wooden coffin blind waterproof. I came across a web site called duckboats.net. They had all kinds of information on how to make wooden duck boats, carve wooden decoys, how to layout shoot and a forum where members from all over the country interacted. The site is still going strong and is supported by its membership and not commercial interests. It’s my favorite duck web page on the Internet. I became active on the forum asking all kinds of questions. Instead of fiber glassing a coffin blind I was talked into making a double-ended layout boat, that I modified to have a transom for a motor, called a Kara. It took a couple of years to get around to building it with the help of George Kinney and Don Paul in night school woodshop at Bishop High School. I designed this boat for hunting the mud flats of Crowley. I still have it and use it on Crowley as Fred Rowe Columnist well as several other marshes in California. In the fall of 2000 Dave Parks from Oregon sponsored a west coast duckboats.net waterfowl-hunting trip to Agency Lake in Oregon. I had no boat and very little duck hunting experience so I followed the hunt on the forum as they planned for it and had the hunt. The guys all had a great time on the hunt. In 2001 Dave Parks held a second west coast duckboat.net waterfowl trip to Klamath Lake. This time I joined in with 25 other hunters that I knew from the forum, but had never met. The joke on the site was when meeting a member from the forum for the first time is the person an axe murder. It turned out that there were no axe murderers in the group and everyone turned out to be just like their personality they portrayed on the forum. The trip turned out great with lots of good food, meeting great guys from across the west, that were really into duck hunting. We did most of are hunting in Franks Tract on the east side of Klamath Lake. The area was full of green wing teal and shooting was fast and furious most days. In retrospect, the highlight of the trip for me was meeting Vick Brown form Redding. Vick and I have gotten together every year since this trip to hunt on Lower Klamath Refuge. Over the years hunting with Vick I’ve picked up tricks for hunting waterfowl. One year I painfully learned that when calling geese you can’t stop calling until you pick up your gun to shoot. I don’t claim to be the best duck caller, but I’ve learned to call good enough to get ducks to come to the decoy spread. There is a sense of accomplishment when you see a duck change it’s flight path to join your decoys on the water. When hunting on calm days your decoys look like decoys and not real ducks. You need to get some movement into them. I’ve built jerk lines with a short section of bungee material that allows the decoys to jump around adding much need movement to the spread. I’ve added commercial and homemade motion quivers to the spread to add movement. Movement is one of the main keys to making your decoy spread look real. I’ve also realized that movement by the hunters in the blind is detrimental to successfully decoying ducks. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing this weekend. I do know whether I’m fishing or hunting. I will let the weather determine if it’s a fishing day or a hunting day. What ever I do, I’ll be taking advantage of what the Eastern Sierra has to offer. Bishop Youth Football Division II team comes from behind to win title Division II Broncos rally to defeat Boron during second half of game Register Staff The Division II Bishop Youth Football team came from behind to upset the undefeated Boron Bobcats to win the Division II Antelope Valley Football Association Superbowl title on Saturday in Bishop. It was a huge win for the three touchdown underdog Bishop team to beat Boron. Bishop scored first with a touchdown pass from Jakob Redman to Colt Matteson. Bishop went into half time down 19 to 6. The Bishop defense tightened up their grips and held the Bobcats scoreless the rest of the half. A large turnover by a big hit from Cain Omohundro helped turn the game around during the second half. Jakob Redman found Austin Halfen and Kenyan Piper for two more touchdown passes. Reece Marsh followed up with two point-after-touchdown kicks to give the Broncos the victory 22 to 19. Big rushing efforts from Chevyo Marquez and Kenyan Piper kept the drives alive for the Broncos. The offense line played the best game they have played all year against the bigger Bobcat lineman. It was a huge team effort to win this game. The Bishop Division II team is coached by Head Coach Will Lyons, Assistant coaches Chris Matteson, Tom Batchelder, Steve Omohundro, Ronny Georgeson and Chuck Steedle.

The Inyo Register national sports A-15 thursday, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 Around the Leagues Michigan State snaps Ohio State’s 23-game winning streak The ninth-ranked Michigan State Spartans played their best defensive game of the year and that was good enough to take down the 2nd-ranked team in the nation last Saturday on a last-second field goal. Ohio State (10-1) led most of the game but couldn’t hold the lead late in the fourth quarter when Michigan State (10-1) scored the game-tying touchdown and followed that up with the gamewinning field goal. Michigan State kicker Michael Geiger redeemed himself when he made the 41-yard field goal that won the game for the Spartans in Columbus, Ohio. After the kick, Geiger sprinted around the field waving his right arm in a circular fashion before being mobbed by his teammates. In the second quarter, Geiger missed a 43-yard try, but that didn’t matter in the end. The Michigan State defense held the Buckeyes in check the entire game, holding Ohio State to a total of 132 yards and Heisman Trophy candidate Ezekiel Elliott to only 33 yards on 12 carries. Elliott’s string of 15-straight games of rushing more than 100 yards was snapped by the stingy Spartan defense. Ranked No.1 at the beginning of the year and throughout the first half of this season, Ohio State came into the game undefeated but had fallen to No. 2 in the country. Their weak schedule and close games dropped them in the polls but this loss dropped them out of the championship picture. #9 Michigan State 17 #2 Ohio State 14 The top-ranked Clemson Tigers had no problem at home last Saturday beating Wake Forest handily 33-13.

Alabama (10-1) backed-off in the second half, eventually winning 56-6. Cyrus Jones returned two punts for touchdowns in the first half on runs of 43 and 72 yards. He is the first Alabama player to score twice twice on punt returns, according to school records dating back to 1944. The 49 first half points are the most scored since Nick Saban became head coach in 2007, preventing any possibility of a letdown against a lower division school. #3 Alabama 56 Charleston Southern 6 Craig Jackson sports Columnist Carolina. A week ago, Wake Forest held 4th-ranked, and overrated, Notre Dame to only 282 yards of total offense while giving up 507 to Clemson. If Clemson should go up against Notre Dame in the championship playoff, expect the same result as when Alabama destroyed the Irish in the championship game Fourth-ranked Notre Dame had another scare Saturday night but stuck it out to beat a gutsy Boston College team 19-16 in an ugly game at Fenway Park. Notre Dame (10-1) survived five turnovers, as well as missed opportunities in the night game in Boston. This was the first football game played at the historic baseball stadium since 1968. The Irish looked to improve their stature and make a good impression with College Football Playoff Committee, but let’s just say they struck out looking. Next week the Irish have possibly their toughest game of the year when they face Stanford in the regular season finale. A loss puts Notre Dame out of the national playoff picture. The Irish should be thankful they played one of the worst offenses in the country in Boston College, or the outcome could have been a lot worse. Boston College showed the country why they have the nation’s top-ranked defense, if only their offense could capitalize on golden opportunities, the Eagles could have been soaring high last weekend. #4 Notre Dame 19 Boston Col- lege 16 Projected by CBSSports.com on Nov. 22, 2015 Associated Press Top 25 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.

The show opens Dec. 17 on the Edison Theatre stage and runs Thursdays to Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. until Jan. 3, (no shows Dec. 24, 25, and 31). “I’ve been wanting to work with Playhouse 395 for years now,” said MLRT’s Artistic Director Shira Dubrovner. “It just took the right project. Having three talented veterans of Playhouse 395, including its Artistic Director Martha Reynolds, in this show is a dream come true.” Set in the basement kitchen of the fictitious West Cornucopia Lutheran Church of the Prairie in rural Minnesota, the musical finds its four hard-working ladies – and its one frequently befuddled pastor – cooking meals and solving problems during a holiday Lutefisk dinner, a funeral, an Easter fundraiser, and a wedding. They stave off potential disasters (like—gasp! – interfaith marriage), share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying – and bonding with – one other. Based on the best-selling book “Growing Up Lutheran,” the musical has been charming audiences across the nation since 2005. Director Juliana Olinka brings the show to the Eastern Sierra community. “I love being able to entertain people of all ages,” Olinka said. “Comedy and music are my passion and bringing this show to life with such an outstanding group of people on stage and behind the scenes is a holiday treat for me.” The cast features Reynolds, director for Playhouse 395’s upcoming show, “Chicago” (casting call Dec. 4 & 5, call 760-920-8817 to make an appointment), who portrays the widow and matriarch of the kitchen, Vivian; Karen Keehn, Playhouse 395’s board member and recently seen starring in its “Hello Dolly,” Wild and Scenic Film Festival returns to the Eastern Sierra Festival focuses on films that speak to environmental concerns Register Staff Friends of the Inyo presents the Wild and Scenic Film Festival On Tour in the Eastern Sierra in December. Films will be showcased in Lone Pine at the Museum of Western Film History Dec. 3, in Mammoth Lakes at the Edison Theatre Dec. 4, and in Bishop at Cerro Coso Community College Dec. 5. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. for all showings; films begin at 7 p.m. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is a collection of films from the annual festival held the third week of January in Nevada City, Calif., which is now in its 13th year. The festival focuses on films that speak to the environmental concerns and “celebrations of our planet,” Tour Associate Director Amelia Workman said. “Films featured at Wild and Scenic give people a sense of place,” Workman said. “In today’s busy world, it is easy to disconnect from our role in the global ecosystem. When we realize that the change we need in this world begins with us, we start making a difference. Come get inspired.” The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started by the watershed advocacy group, the South Yuba River Citizens League in 2003. The festival’s namesake is in celebration of SYRCL’s landmark victory to receive “Wild and Scenic” status for 39 miles of the South Northern Inyo Healthcare District Wishes you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

The four-day event features more than 100 award-winning films and welcomes more than 100 guest speakers, celebrities, and activists who bring a human face to the environmental movement. With its international tour to more than 150 communities around the globe, the festival is building a network of grassroots organizations connected by a common goal of using film to inspire activism. The support of national partners Patagonia, CLIF Bar, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Orion Magazine, Klean Kanteen, Earthjustice, and Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, helps the festival reach an even larger audience. With the Wild and Scenic Film Festival’s theme “Activism Inspired,” hosting the festival is a natural extension of Friends of the Inyo’s work to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment, organizers said. Friends of the Inyo works to connect the public with their public lands through stewardship projects, guided outings, and by promoting awareness of the Eastern Sierra’s public lands. Each year Friends of the Inyo coordinates numerous volunteer events and outings throughout the region, taking people to a host of wild places throughout the Sierra and inspiring them to give back. In Lone Pine and Bishop, audiences will have a chance to see a variety of films. “Drawn,” the centerpiece film, tells the story of Jeremy Collins embarking on an epic voyage to honor a beloved friend. The film takes viewers to the Venezuelan Amazon, the China-Mongolian Border, northern Canada, and Yosemite Valley. Other films include “Common Ground,” the story of ranchers in Montana coming together to determine how to protect their public land, and “14.c,” the story of a teenage climber who excels in competitive and outdoor climbing while relying upon the support and encouragement of his single mother. Mammoth’s feature film, “Myanmar: Bridges to Change,” tells the story of seven climbers who travel to the farthest reaches of northern Myanmar to make a first ascent of southeast Asia’s disputed highest peak. On the journey, they soon discover that the peak is far less significant than the experiences of the places and people along the way.

The post-apocalyptic world comes to life with plenty of content but no multi-player gaming with Bethesda’s latest release, “Fallout 4.” Screen shot from “Fallout 4” Game Guru Latest ‘Fallout’ installment packs plenty of content Bethesda is a video game company known for releasing gaming favorites like “Skyrim” and “Fallout: New Vegas.” When they announced the release date for “Fallout 4” at the E3 video game convention a few months ago, gaming fans flocked to online retailers and game stores to reserve a copy. It quickly became the best-selling game months before it was even on the shelves. Since the release on Nov. 10, other online games and web sites reported a slight decrease in traffic. The gaming community is captivated by “Fallout 4.” Post apocalyptic survival. Exploring the wasteland. Building settlements. Gathering settlers. Gathering supplies. Making friends. Making enemies. Fighting bandits, mutants, zombies, robots, and other freaky bad guys. Do you live your life as a good person, or chose the path of the criminal and attack everyone you see? Do you cook the food you find, which makes your character stronger, or do you eat the food raw and risk getting sick? That’s just a few features that make “Fallout 4” perhaps the best game of 2015. Compared to the previous “Fallout” games, this one offers a polished and content-packed experience. The story starts in Boston in the year 2077. You’re a family man with a wife and newborn son. A salesman shows up at your front door, and signs your family up for a reserved spot in the neighborhood’s fallout shelter. A few moments later, the sirens scream as we go off to the shelter. As you’re running through the neighborhood frantically with your wife and newborn, your neighbors are running alongside you. Only a few make it to the shelter as the nuclear bombs drop, and just manage to make it safely underground. You meet up with the shelter supervisors who trick you and your family into getting cryogenically frozen … for 210 years. When 2287 Conor Vaughan Columnist rolls around and you come out of cryostasis. Your wife is dead, and your newborn son has been kidnapped. You emerge from the fallout bunker, ready to venture the wasteland and find your kidnapped son. The game is vast. So vast that it takes hours to wander around and explore everything. It’s so detailed that the developers have modeled areas after actual locations in Boston. The game features a wide array of modifiable weapons and items, and robotic armor. There’s building up your settlements. You recruit people to join, but you’ll need to keep them happy by setting up small farms and adding in water and food supplies. Being that bandits occasionally raid, settlers have to defend themselves and the settlement. You can add in extra defensive firepower, build a sentry machine gun or add in land mines. You can also build houses from scratch and include landscaping. You venture into the wasteland for supplies and to complete missions. Missions consist of routing out bandits from buildings and helping out the locals. The missions aren’t easy and you’ll die. You’ll die a lot. Your journey will take you through cities and towns that have enemies fighting amongst themselves. You’ll hear the gun shots, follow the sound, and find them shooting at each other. Will you intervene, or sit back and let them kill each other in order to scavenge them after they’ve died? While the game takes place in the year 2077, it has a 1950s look and the sound track features artists like The Ink Spots and Billie Holiday. “Fallout 4” will likely be the game of the year, but it’s not perfect. Part of the fun with gaming is playing online with your friends. There’s no multi-player capability, which is no surprise as Bethesda hasn’t always included a multiplayer mode in its past games. Your experience can be a bit unforgiving at times. Explosives are instant death and not easy to avoid. You can explore an area that seems perfect for your level, only to meet a deadly foe that is several levels above you. Your companion sometimes gets stuck in doorways and blocks you inside a room with no escape. While the Windows PC version allows you to modify the game with various perks and user-created content, it’s next to impossible to do it with the console versions. There are also various game play bugs, but frequent patch fixes are released regularly. The game doesn’t automatically save that much and unless you remember to manually do it, dying could set you back a bit. Still, the negatives aren’t enough to outweigh the positives. This year has seen the release of some good titles but they don’t top “Fallout 4” in content and game play. The wasteland awaits. Fallout 4 was released Nov. 10, 2015. It’s available on Windows PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One. It has a rating of “Mature 17+” for blood and gore, intense violence, strong language, and use of drugs.

The Inyo Register THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 b-SECTION Savvy Seniors Tips for the Young at Heart Special Supplement to The Inyo Register Learn something new today Have you resolved to learn something new this year? You’re not alone. Each year, millions of people resolve to expand their horizons and for the sake of a more fulfilling life. It is one thing for adults to decide something new, but quite another to narrow down how you will enhance your knowledge or experiences. Don’t be discouraged by the adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. It’s never to late to move out of your comfort zone, and these ideas may help you do just that. • Learn a new language. If you have always dreamed of traveling internationally and speaking in a country’s native tongue, begin taking lessons. A Gallup Poll indicates that only about 25 percent of Americans can speak another language sufficiently enough to carry on a conversation, although many agree that knowing a second language is a good skill to have. In addition to private tutors or classes at nearby community colleges, make use of foreign language apps and computer programs, which allow you to practice in the comforts of home. Depending on how much time you can devote to studying, it may be just a matter of a few months before you have mastered a new language. How quickly you pick up a new language may be affected by your knowledge of other languages. For example, if you already speak Spanish, learning French or Italian maybe easier because of similarities between these widely spoken romance languages. • Take up a new sport or hobby. Hobbies and sports appeal to all types of people. Adults who never participated in sports as a child may find their interest piqued upon joining an adult league. Don’t underestimate your potential abilities on the playing fields or with regard to certain hobbies.

Although many people adopt the philosophy of living life to the fullest at a young age, this approach garnered greater attention thanks to a 2007 movie. Directed by Rob Reiner, “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman introduced a larger audience to setting goals and doing as much as possible to make those goals a reality. Freeman and Nicholson played two terminally ill men who set off to complete their personal to-do lists before their diseases catch up with them. The movie helped coin the term “bucket list,” which is a reference to things individuals want to do before they “kick the bucket.” Although the two main characters in the film are terminally ill, the idea of creating a bucket list is something anyone hoping to live a full, adventurous life can do. In fact, several bucket list organizations have sprung up, and other groups help make trips and other goals happen. People can even meet up with others who share the same desires and do them together. While anyone’s bucket list is a personal endeavor, there are some goals that are quite popular and desired by many. The following are some ideas to get a person started.

Even if you already have a degree, don’t be hesitant to pursue additional education. In 2013, a report in The Wall Street Journal indicated that just 29 percent of college students fit the “traditional” student mold. That means nontraditional students, many of whom are adults, make up the majority of students on campus. Many local colleges and universities offer distance learning or adult education programs. Speak with a curriculum advisor about a particular school’s offerings and find out if you’re eligible for reduced tuition or financial aid. • See new sights. If travel is a passion of yours, make sure your passport is current and start mak- ing plans to visit areas of the world you have always wanted to visit. Perhaps there are particular ancient ruins you hope to see, or maybe you want to trace your genealogy back to your ancestral homeland. Trying something new is easier than one may think, and it can make for a great resolution and a more fulfilling life with lots of precious memories.

However, for a growing number of seniors, their retirement years are being spent helping to raise grandchildren. United States Census data from 2010 indicates 4.9 million American children are being raised solely by their grandparents. CanGrads, a National Kinship Support organization, says approximately 62,500 children are being raised by grandparents and other family in Canada. Many grandparents provide part-time care when their older children have to move back home with their families, as roughly 13 million children are now living in homes with their grandparents. Although being raised by grandparents may not be the ideal situation for all parties involved, such situations are a necessity for many families. Seniors who are once again thrown into the caregiver arena may need a crash course in childcare or a few pointers on parenting in the modern age. • Get the right equipment. Children certainly require a lot of gear, more than grandparents likely used when raising their own children. Certain safety requirements are in place to safeguard young children, and that often means investing in new cribs, car seats, high chairs, and other items. Grandparents should resist the temptation to use old items they may have kept in storage, as such items may no longer be safe and could put grandchildren at risk for injury. • Gather important documents. Grandparents should keep pertinent documents in one easily accessible place in their homes should an emer- gency arise. These include birth certificates, health immunization records, death certificates (if the child’s parents are deceased), dental records, school papers, citizenship papers, and proof of income and assets. • Speak with an attorney. Lawyers can help grandparents wade through legal arrangements, such as filing for custody, guardianship or adoption. Options vary depending on where petitioners live, but lawyers can provide peace of mind to grandparents concerned about their grandkids’ futures. • Investigate financial assistance. Seniors may not earn the income they once did and may be on assistance programs or living off of retirement savings. Grandparents who find themselves caring for a child may be eligible for financial assistance. The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families is a joint federal and state program that can provide need-based financial assistance. The AARP or the organization GrandFamilies may be able to put grandparents in touch with financial advisors in their areas. • Contact schools and daycare centers. School-aged children will need to be enrolled in school. Grandparents should contact the department of education where they live to learn about local school systems, especially when grandkids are moving in with their grandparents. Some grandparents can qualify for free or low-cost daycare, and such programs can be discussed with local Social Services offices. Enrollment in school or daycare can provide grandparents with much-needed free time during the day. • Find emotional support. Taking care of grandchildren is a full-time job. At times, grandparents may feel stressed or out of sorts. Having a strong support system available can help grandparents work through the peaks and valleys of this new and unexpected stage in life. Church- or community center-based counseling services may be available. Grandparents also can check with their healthcare providers to determine if counseling or therapy sessions are covered under their plans. Caring for grandchildren is a life-changing event. Although it can be fulfilling, it also requires a lot of energy and commitment. But grandparents needn’t go it alone, as there are numerous resources available to seniors who suddenly find themselves caring for their grandchildren. Cut the costs of your prescriptions The costs of filling prescriptions is simply too big to bear for many people, even now that the Affordable Care Act has greatly reduced the amount of people who are uninsured. A survey from the Commonwealth Fund found that 35 million people in America failed to fill a prescription in 2014 because of the cost of the medication. That figure represents an improvement from 2010, when 48 million people did not fill their prescriptions due to the costs of those medications, but it still serves to highlight a need many people have to cut the costs of their medicine. Though people who cannot afford to fill their prescriptions often feel helpless, there are a handful of ways they can cut the costs of their medications and start feeling better. • Discuss changes with your physician. Perhaps the simplest way to cut prescription costs is to discuss medication options with your physician. Brand-name drugs are typically more expensive than generic alternatives, so speak with your physician about generic drugs or less costly brand-name drugs that may treat your condition as well as expensive brand-name drugs do. • Consider Patient See prescriptions E Page B-4 For a growing number of seniors, their retirement years are being spent helping to raise grandchildren. The Inyo Register B-4 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2015 Savvy Seniors Understanding life insurance Life insurance is a product few people want to think about. That’s perfectly understandable, as life insurance forces men and women to consider their own mortality. But life insurance is not something adults should avoid, especially if they have dependents. Many people should consider life insurance when estate planning so they can provide security for their loved ones. But life insurance is a purchase unlike any other, and people may be confused or intimidated when attempting to purchase life insurance policies. Deciding if you need coverage While life insurance seems like the kind of thing every person should have, that’s not necessarily the case. For example, single men and women with no dependents and no tax or debt concerns generally do not need life insurance. If you are single but have tax issues or a considerable amount of debt, then Buying life insurance Much like various other types of insurance, life insurance can be purchased from an insurance agent or via an insurance company’s website. When choosing a company from which to buy a life insurance policy, look for a company with a strong rating, as no one wants to end up being burned by a life insurance provider who goes out of business. Some people prefer to work with independent brokers who can share information about products from various providers rather than just the ones offered by the firm company-affiliated agents work for. Choosing coverage When choosing coverage, you will no doubt be asked if you prefer term insurance or permanent insurance. Term insurance is the least expensive life insurance, and such policies only last for a predetermined number of years. Men and women may purchase life insurance policies if they only want life insurance until they retire or until their children reach adulthood. Permanent insurance is more expensive and will last from the moment you purchase the policy until your death. Many people choose permanent life insurance policies so the money their beneficiaries receive upon their death can be used to pay estate taxes. In addition, there is an investment component to permanent insurance policies, as a portion of the premiums on such policies is invested (policies will spell out how the money is invested) and allowed to grow tax-free so long as the policy is open. Term insurance only pro- for their prescriptions can speak with their physicians about PAPs. • Consult your member organizations. If you are a member of the AAA automotive group or the American Association of Retired Persons, you might be eligible for medication discount cards free of charge. These cards provide discounts on your medications, but some come with expensive fees upfront. Look for no-fee cards, such as those offered to AAA and AARP members or others offered by nonprofit organizations, before considering options offered by pharmaceutical companies or other for-profit businesses. • Contact charitable organizations. Some charitable organizations, such as the National Organization for Rare Disorders and maybe even some local nonprofits, offer prescription assistance to people in need. Visit NORD online at www.rarediseases. org. a life insurance policy can be used to pay those debts upon your death. Adults with dependents, such as a spouse and/or children, should consider purchasing life insurance, which can help your surviving dependents maintain their quality of life and pay their bills in the wake of your death. prescriptions Continued from page B-3 Assistance Programs. Sometimes referred to as “Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs,” Patient Assistance Programs, or PAPs, can greatly reduce the burden of prescription drug costs. Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, PAPs distribute billions of dollars to patients who otherwise could not afford their medications. Eligibility criteria varies depending on the program, but men and women struggling to pay Life insurance is not something adults should avoid, especially if they have dependents. vides protection with no investments. When choosing how much coverage to purchase, it’s easy to go overboard and aim for as much as possible. However, many financial advisors suggest purchasing enough coverage to pay for funeral costs and a level of income replacement you can comfortably afford. If your spouse does not work, you should consider purchasing enough coverage so he or she can afford to pay the family’s day-to-day cost of living expenses. Life insurance merits serious consideration, and adults should do their homework and fully understand a policy before signing any contracts. Every day ways to save money Saving more money is a goal for many people. Whether retirement is looming or decades down the road, saving as much money as possible is a great way for men and women to plan for their financial futures. But saving money is not always so easy, especially as the cost of living continues to rise in so many parts of the world. In its 2015-2016 “Salary Budget Survey,” Worldat- Work, a global association for human resources management professionals and business leaders, found that U.S. employees can expect an average base salary increase of 3.1 percent in 2016. That marks only a slight increase from 2015, and many working professionals wonder if that increase will be enough for them to start saving more money. Cost of living salary in- creases likely won’t be enough for working professionals to grow their savings considerably, if at all. Fortunately, there are several ways that men and women can cut back each day and grow their savings without affecting their quality of life. • Make your own coffee at home.

If your daily cup of joe from the coffee shop next to your office costs $2.50, that’s $12.50 per week (not counting weekend mornings), $50 per month and $600 per year. Buying coffee at the grocery store and preparing it at home won’t cost anywhere near that much, saving you hundreds of dollars per year, which you can put directly into your savings account. • Bring your lunch to work. Many men and women already know that dining in instead of out is a great way to cut back on unnecessary spending. But it’s not just skipping nights out on the town that can help save money. Rather than spending somewhere between $5 and $10 every day on lunch at the office commissary or nearby restaurants, bring your lunch with you. Bringing your lunch allows you to buy in bulk rather than pay for each individual midday meal, and that can add up to considerable cost savings over the year. • Trim some fat from your cable bill. While cable providers have been slow to embrace customizable plans that allow customers to pick and choose their channels in an effort to save money each month, some providers have begun to offer such plans. Contact your cable provider to see if you can customize your plan so you are no longer paying for channels you don’t watch. If your provider does not allow you to customize, consider cutting your cable entirely.

Many vacations and business trips go off without a hitch, but not all travelers are so fortunate. One of the inherent risks of travel is being victimized by theft or losing money as a result of personal carelessness. When traveling, it’s important to think about dollars and cents — or Euros and yuans — in addition to packing, sightseeing and lodging. This includes considering how to pay for the trip, both before you leave and after you arrive at your destination. Bringing their lunch to work instead of dining out each day is an effective way for professionals to grow their savings. fraction of monthly cable subscriptions, and these services continue to increase their offerings. • Work with a financial advisor. If you keep coming up empty in your search for ways to save, work with a fi- nancial advisor. Financial advisors can help you establish a monthly budget so you are in a good position to save. In addition, such advisors can suggest ways to grow your money that you might not know about. Credit cards One big advantage to using credit cards when traveling is that you do not have to carry a lot of cash. Many people prefer to use credit cards when booking flights or making hotel reservations because credit cards often have built-in security features. These may include insurance against canceled trips or easy refund policies. Credit cards are also more secure than cash when facing potential fraud or theft. Credit cards also can be advantageous when traveling internationally. Purchase prices are exchanged at the interbank exchange rate, says the resource group The Independent Traveler. That rate may be more consumerfriendly and any fees, if your One of the inherent risks of travel is being victimized by theft or losing money as a result of personal carelessness. credit card company even charges fees, incurred may be less than the cost of converting your currency. Keep in mind that your standard credit card may not be accepted everywhere, as “chipand-PIN” credit cards are now used in many countries. That may prohibit you from making purchases on credit cards with just magnetic strips. Keep a list of all important credit card phone numbers and account numbers when traveling, so you can promptly call companies if your card is lost or stolen. Travelers’ checks Travelers’ checks are another alternative to cash. Security is provided against lost or stolen checks by the issuing party, which is typically a bank. Investopedia notes that travelers’ checks that are stolen and identified are canceled and new ones are reissued. Cash Sometimes you may need cash when traveling, as some retailers do not accept credit cards or checks. Stash cash safely, keeping wallets in a front pocket and using money storage accessories to hide money. Store cash in different places so thieves don’t get all your cash should you be victimized. Clean out your wallet. If your wallet is packed with cards, membership information and other personal details, clean it out before traveling or use a travel wallet, which is a pared down version of standard wallets. When planning a business trip or vacation, don’t forget to take steps to protect your finances. 369 E.

While even the busiest men and women can find ways to eat healthy, finding time to exercise can be more difficult. According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, regular physical activity can prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and stroke, which are the three leading causes of health-related death in the United States. In addition, men and women who are not physically active are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise helps people control their weight while promoting bone, muscle and joint health. While the benefits of regular exercise are substantial, finding the time for daily exercise is not always so easy. The following are a handful of strategies men and women can employ as they attempt to make more time in their days to exercise. • Reexamine your free time. Few adults, and especially those juggling families and careers, have an abundance of free time. But reexamining the ways you are spending your free time may help you uncover some moments for daily exercise. The Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition notes that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 need at least two and a half hours each week of mod- erate-intensity aerobic activity. While that may seem like a lot, it’s only slightly more than 20 minutes per day. It helps to supplement such aerobic activity with some strength-training activities at least two days per week. Try waking up 20 to 30 minutes earlier each day, using that time to hit the treadmill or jog around the neighborhood. You likely won’t be affected by waking up earlier, and you won’t need to alter your existing schedule for the rest of the day, either. If mornings aren’t your thing, make better use of your lunch hour, going for a jog or visiting your company’s exercise facilities if that option is available to you. • Work while you exercise. Technology has made it easier than ever before to stay connected to the office even when you are nowhere near your desk. Men and women who can’t seem to find time to exercise often cite the demands of their job as the primary reason behind their inactivity, but those same individuals can use the technology at their disposal, be it smartphones that allow them keep track of work emails or tablets that make it possible to connect remotely to office servers, to work while they exercise. Bring your smartphone or tablet with you when you work out on the elliptical or jog on the treadmill. • Reduce your sedentary time. A 2008 study from Australian researchers found that people who regularly break up their sedentary time, including the hours they sit behind their desk at the office, with movement had healthier waist circumferences, body mass indexes and triglycerides than those who did not. While hourly breaks to walk around the office might not seem like exercise, such breaks can benefit your long-term health. • Get creative. Many people associate daily exercise with private gyms, and while gyms can serve as excellent motivators and great places to get full-body workouts, time involved in driving to and from the gym can make it difficult to commit to gym memberships. But you don’t need a gym membership to live a healthy lifestyle. When possible, take the stairs instead of an elevator and park further away from your office door so you get a small cardiovascular workout on your way into and out of the office. Rather than retiring to the couch after dinner, walk or bike around your neighborhood. Such simple gestures may seem insignificant, but the more creative ways you find to exercise each day, the more beneficial such efforts become. While there is no way to create more time in the day, men and women can employ several strategies to make more time for daily exercise. Popular sports for seniors Age doesn’t have to stop older men and women from enjoying their favorite sports. In fact, remaining active can improve physical and mental health. If a doctor has confirmed that it is okay to participate in sports, these activities can help men and women 50 and older enjoy friendly competition and physical activity. Fishing Fishing is more than just a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides additional cardiovascular exercise. Golf Golf is enjoyed by people of all ages. Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends. Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course. Swimming A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints. Cycling Many seniors are avid cyclists.
