S
ay “Fendon’s” and
Eastern Sierra residents and visitors
immediately think of quality furniture and mattress
sets; the largest and oldest
furniture and mattress
store in Inyo and Mono
counties; blue-chip reupholstery and restoration
work and excellent customer service.
The name probably also
brings to mind the trademark crooning of co-owner
Jerry Fendon … but that’s a
story for another time.
With his wife, Shirley,
Jerry built up one of the
premier furniture stores in
the West, selling new furniture and mattresses and
providing reupholstery,
wood refinishing and furniture repair.
Fendon’s
Furniture,
Mattress & Reupholstery,
Co. is located at 175 E. Pine
St., behind the former location of Shirley’s parents’
famous Kittie Lee Inn and
Copper Kettle coffee shop.
It was here, in downtown
Bishop in 1949, that Jerry
met his future wife while he
made one of his usual trips
through the Eastern Sierra
picking up reupholstery
jobs. He would visit communities from Lone Pine to
Lee Vining and return every
two weeks with expertly
reupholstered chairs and
rebuilt mattress sets, mak-
ing many friends throughout Inyo and Mono counties.
Before long, Shirley was
joining Jerry on his trips
throughout the area, and
the two eventually set up
shop where the store is currently located. Together
they built a strong customer base in Lee Vining, June
Lake, Mammoth, Bishop,
Big Pine, Independence and
Lone Pine – so much so that
Jerry began adding new
mattress sets and new furniture to Fendon’s growing
line of products and services. The couple expanded
their base of operations
throughout the 1960s, ’70s
and ’80s, growing the building from its original 800
square feet to its current
13,000. They built an additional 4,800-square-foot
warehouse in 2007.
Today,
the
couple
employs a staff of 12,
including friendly, knowledgeable salespeople, professional, prompt delivery
men and talented, experienced craftspeople.
Their son, Randy, runs
the retail furniture and mattress side of the business,
consistently finding innovative, popular and new
products so that Fendon’s
customers can get added
value and enjoyment out of
their homes.
Fendon’s has the largest
furniture and mattress
showroom in the Eastern
Sierra, filled with home furnishings by Ashley®, La-ZBoy®, Broyhill® and Lane®
and a large selection of
mattresses in various sizes.
Fendon’s is the exclusive
dealer in Inyo and Mono
counties for TempurPedic®,
Simmons
Beautyrest®
and
Kingsdown® mattress sets.
Fendon’s has just brought
in the new BedMatch® mattress fitting diagnostic system to help their customers
find the perfect bed for
them. Fendon’s also continues a fine tradition of
craftsmanship doing furniture reupholstery, refinishing and repair.
While the business and
its inventory has grown
many times over the years
since 1949, the Fendon’s
say one thing will never
change: their dedication to
their customers.
“We strive for 100 percent customer satisfaction.
We sell quality products
and stand behind them,”
Randy said. “We run an
honest business built on
principle, integrity and fairness.”
Fendon’s Furniture is
open 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday and
9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on
Saturday, and by appointment only on Sunday. For

A
trusted member of
the local automotive community,
John’s Muffler and A-1
Radiator Auto Center has
been providing quality
workmanship to residents
and visitors of the Eastern
Sierra for more than 30
years.
Located at 2234 N. Sierra
Hwy., John’s Muffler is
known for providing and
specializing in top-notch
automotive repairs, custom
exhaust, mufflers, radiator
installation and repair, drivelines and trailer hitches.
Owners John and Cindy
Slee retired from day-to-day
operations on March 1, leasing out their business to Jon
Torres of A&L Tire. Torres
was the Slees’ mechanic for
the past seven years, and
John is confident in both
his skills and management
ability, having trained and
mentored Torres every day.
“He is young and ambitious and I hope he can
carry the quality I have
stressed for the past 44
years,” John said. “He will
try to do to the best he can
to carry on my business.”
John himself was young
and ambitious when he
graduated with an AA
degree as a certified welder
from Pierce College in 1971.
He immediately started
work as a portable welder,
earning the respect of his
customers and peers from
the beginning.
Forty-four years later,
John can say he has never
had a complaint or claim
filed against him, nor has
his business committed any
breech of law, rule or regulation, however minor. He’s
not even had any comebacks as a member of the
Bureau of Automotive
Repair.
That’s the kind of superior workmanship and service that the Slees said customers can expect at John’s
Muffler and A-1 Radiator
Auto Center.
John got started in the
muffler business 35 years
ago, after he and Cindy had
already married and started
their family.
John married Cindy in
1978 and adopted her son,
Patrick, who now lives in
Bishop and works for his
mother as a mechanic for
the Bishop Unified School
District.
A year later they had
John, who now lives in
Carlsbad with wife Shirley
and children John Jr., Sage,
Sadie and Chloe.
By 1980, John decided to
open his own muffler shop
and rented a bay from Rudy
Hindelang.
In 1981, daughter Kim
was born. Today she lives in
Bakersfield with husband
David Ward and stepson
Thomas.
As the family grew, so
did the business. John purchased a radiator shop and
got into trailer hitches, drivelines and automotive
repairs. In early 2000, he
bought the entire shop and
continued with his muffler
business.
According to John and
Cindy, there are many to
thank for their success over
the years.
“Cindy and I would like
to thank all our customers,
friends and family for all
the support they brought to
the business,” John said.
“Without their support and
trust in our craftsmanship
and our loyalty from our
customers, we would not
have made it the past 44
years.”
The Slees also expressed
gratitude
to
Mike
Higginbotham and his parents.
They also said that they
would like to thank the late
Bob Tormohlen and Bruce
Bell, who was always there
for John.
Thanks are also in order
for Eastern Sierra Motors,
Perry
Motors,
Bishop
Welding, Bishop Forest
Service, Steve’s Auto Parts,
O’Reilly Auto Parts, Brown’s
Supply, UPS, A&L Tire and
many more.
The Slees also expressed
gratitude to their customers
for their support and said
they are looking forward to
continuing to offer great
service in the community.

W
ild Iris Family
Counseling and
Crisis
Center,
located at 150 N. Main St. in
Bishop, is a behind-thescenes agency designed to
help some of the most vulnerable residents in the
county.
According to Executive
Director Lisa Reel, Wild Iris’
mission is to help victims of
domestic violence, sexual
assault and child abuse, raise
awareness and prevention.
“Our vision is for non-violent
relationships based on dignity, respect, compassion
and equality,” Reel said.
While many in Inyo
County believe that our
small, close-knit communities mean that domestic violence isn’t a local problem,
Wild Iris works each year to
dispel that rumor and call
attention to the fact that
domestic violence, child
abuse and sexual assault are
a local concern.
Reel said that from March
2014 to March 2015, Wild
Iris has handled 429 cases of
domestic violence. Thirtynine of those cases involved
children, and 25 involved
men.
Another important service Wild Iris provides is
emergency safe haven for
victims of domestic violence
who need to get out of a bad
situation, but have no place
else to go. Of the 429 cases
the agency has handled in
the past year, 47 victims and
their children were provided
emergency shelter.
In an effort to ensure that
help is available 24 hours a
day and seven days a week,
Wild Iris maintains a crisis
hotline that received more
than 4,458 calls in the last
year.
The agency also served
126 victims of sexual assault
in the past year. Of those
cases, 25 involved children
and seven of the victims
were men.
When a victim contacts
Wild Iris, there are several
programs the agency provides to help, including peer
crisis counseling, accompaniment with personal, legal,
social and medical services
so the victim feels safe, support groups for both teens
and adults and assistance
with restraining orders.
The agency also assists
with emergency food and
clothing and can provide
referrals for other services.
Wild Iris provided more
than $25,000 in emergency
financial assistance to clients in the past year, Wild
Iris Director of Programs
Susi Bains said. Financial
assistance the agency provides includes rental assistance, help with utilities,
food, clothing and assisting
clients in fleeing the area
due to safety concerns.
Wild Iris also has trained
staff to supervise visitation
between parents and children that provides low-cost
supervised visitation by professionally trained monitors.
Last year, Wild Iris brought
this training to Mono County
where eight people were
trained to monitor parents
that have been court-ordered
to have their visitation with
their children supervised.
Wild Iris also kicked off a
new, Transitional Housing
program this past January.
This 18-month program provides victims of domestic
violence and sexual assault
with basic necessities such
as food, toiletries and housing.
“Transitional Housing
residents have access to a
wide variety of services
including case management,
life skills education and
counseling, all in an effort to
assist them with regaining
their independence and
learning how to live a life
free from violence,” Bains
said.
Another program Wild
Iris manages is the Court
Appointed Special Advocates
for
children
program.
According to Reel, CASA is a
volunteer-based program
that partners adult volunteers with local youth who
are involved in the dependency or delinquency system.
The adult volunteers are
trained through Wild Iris and
can be assigned a child or
sibling group. Their duty is
to spend one hour a week
with the child in their care to
serve as a confidant and
friend. The CASA is trained
to listen to the wants and
needs of the child, then
speak on the child’s behalf
to the court.
Wild Iris has been administering the program for just
over three years, and currently has 12 volunteer
CASAs working with local
youth. Anyone who is interested in the program is invited to contact Ginnie Bird,
the CASA volunteer coordinator and case manager.
Wild Iris is funded through
a series of state, federal and
corporate grants, as well as
individual donations. “We
really appreciate this community’s support,” Reel said,
adding that awareness
events,
like
Domestic
Violence Awareness Month,
held each October, Sexual
Assault Awareness Month
and Denim Day in April, as
well as Child Abuse
Prevention Month (also recognized in April) are successful thanks to the interest of the community.

S
ince 1973, the
I n y o - M o n o
Association for
the Handicapped, Inc.
Thrift Mall has served as
a nonprofit that helps
adults with developmental disabilities learn job
skills, while providing
one of the biggest thrift
stores in the community.
IMAH’s Sierra Thrift
Mall, located at 371 S.
Warren St. in Bishop,
hires adults with developmental disabilities and
teaches them basic job
training that gives them
the experience necessary
to gain employment at
other businesses.
Of the 40 staff members who keep the thrift
store running, 20 are
developmentally
disabled adults benefiting
from the program.
“Our thrift store can
teach them every skill
they need to find employment,” IMAH Executive
Director Beth Himelhoch
said. “They learn how to
work the cash register
and can help alphabetize
the book section” and
even work on some creative projects, Himelhoch
said.
In addition to work at
the thrift store, IMAH
sponsors internships for
developmentally
disabled adults at local businesses.
Himelhoch
explained that this program gets clients working out in the community, and helps them test
the waters and find a job
they enjoy.
The thrift store’s latest venture is an upcycling
program.
Himelhoch
explained
that two clients and two
staff members take
donated items and turn
them into one-of-a-kind
treasures to be sold at
the
thrift
store.
Himelhoch said that the
clients and staff members have converted an
old entertainment center
into a girl’s closet/dresser unit. Another project
converted an old end
table into a cat or dog
bed.
Himelhoch explained
that the project lets clients stretch their creative wings, while providing new, unique items
for the thrift store. And
what the clients choose
to make is completely
up to them. “It just
depends on what the client
envisions,”
Himelhoch said.
In addition to its upcycling initiative, IMAH
also provides services
for community members in need and the
local homeless population of the community,
free of charge, and with
no questions asked.
“Where we differ from
everywhere else is we
serve a huge population
of the working poor,”
who often seek aid from
IMAH in times of need,
whether it be new clothes
for a job interview, or
household
items,
Himelhoch said.
And it’s all made possible through the generous donations and other
support from the community. “Thank heavens
for those who donate to
us,” Himelhoch said,
explaining that IMAH
only works because it is
a partnership with the
community. When residents do their spring
cleaning each year, or
when they have leftover
items from a summer
yard sale, many turn first
to the IMAH Thrift Store,
which happily accepts
donations.
All proceeds from the
IMAH Thrift Store go
directly to benefit IMAH’s
programs, from funding
the agency’s internship
program, to recreation
days for clients and the
wages paid to clients
working in the thrift
store. “All proceeds go
to benefit adults with
developmental disabilities,” Himelhoch said.
IMAH is also working
to have its kitchen commercially licensed, which
Himelhoch said will help
local developmentally
disabled clients learn
even more job skills
while also benefiting the
community.
Anyone who would
like to get involved with
the agency, either as a
community service, or
simply to help out, has a
number of different avenues to get involved.
Himelhoch said that
cash donations are
always
welcome.
Residents can specifically donate to projects
like the kitchen, or can
offer a general donation.
Himelhoch also said
that
volunteers
are
always welcome to help
out at the thrift store.
And, as the upcycling
program takes off, she
said that donations of
new paint, paint brushes,
sandpaper and other
craft items are much
appreciated.
Himelhoch added that
anyone who would like
to get involved is invited
to “just come to IMAH
and ask, you’re always
welcome.”

T
he Toiyabe Indian
Health Project was
founded in 1968
under leadership of nine
tribal governments, forming a consortium to respond
to health issues prevalent
among many tribal members not receiving proper
medical care due to the lack
of transportation and lack
of resources.
Toiyabe is the only comprehensive medical health
center for American Indians
and Alaskan Natives in the
region. Bishop was chosen
as a site for the Toiyabe
Indian
Health
Project
because of its central location among the Indian communities of Inyo and Mono
counties and its proximity
to the Northern Inyo
Hospital and other private
medical providers. The Lone
Pine reservation clinic was
chosen because there was a
tremendous need for medical care extending to Death
Valley. Coleville was also
selected because of its highly rural existence and the
tremendous need for access
to local medical care.
Toiyabe also offers complete, state-of-the-art dental
care open to all members of
the community, although
its primary focus is the nine
American Indian communities in Inyo and Mono
Counties for which Toiyabe
receives funding from the
Indian Health Service. The
Health Project also receives
funding from a number of
government
agencies,
including the Center for
Disease Control and the
Health Resources and
Services Administration to
provide medical care for the
public.
Some programs, including behavioral health, are
for American Indians only,
but anyone with private
insurance or Medi-Cal is
welcomed and treated at
Toiyabe.
The full-service health
care network has three
medical and dental clinics.
It also has the region’s only
dialysis unit, a WIC program, a culturally based
behavioral health clinic
offering counseling and
substance abuse treatment,
Preventive Medicine and
Public Health departments,
a pharmaceutical formulary
and an extensive Home
Visiting program to reach
vulnerable and isolated
American Indian families
and individuals, especially
elders.
Toiyabe is also a Medicare
and Medicaid provider for
all low income residents of
the area and it is a certified
enroller for the Affordable
Care Act. It provides an
astoundingly large number
of medical and dental assistance. There is also application assistance for Medi-Cal
and other forms of insurance.
Toiyabe has 108 employees, of which about 70 percent are Native American
ranging from doctors, dentists and nurses to pharmacy clerks and community
health outreach workers.
The wide range of jobs also
includes dental assistants
and hygienists, billing and
enrollments specialists, fiscal personnel, nutritionists,
Community
Wellness
experts and others. Many of
them have worked at
Toiyabe for more than 20
years. It provides an exceptional opportunity for local
tribal members to develop
professional skills and to
earn a living from them.
Frequently Toiyabe is the
only Medi-Cal provider for
medical and dental care. It
is now also able to special-
ize in working with
American Indian veterans
as well through an agreement
with
the
U.S.
Department of Veteran
Affairs.
Toiyabe embodies the
essence of community
health centers and many of
the programs are culturally
adapted specifically to local
native cultures. It sponsors
physical fitness classes for
the public with some of the
best instructors in the area
in yoga, Pilates and water
aerobics at Keough’s Hot
Springs. It also sponsors an
annual road race and community fitness centers, such
as the state-of-the-art outdoor fitness center in Bishop
City Park, designed and
donated by Toiyabe and
maintained by the Bishop
City Parks Department.
Another state-of-the-art
outdoor fitness center has
also opened on the Bishop
Paiute tribal reservation.

A
storga’s Mexican
Restaurant
has
been open since
2001 and is known countywide as a great place to
eat.
The restaurant is family
owned and operated; Lee
and Ramona Astorga are
the owners. Lee manages
the kitchen with his sons
Gustavo, Jose and Amado
doing the cooking. Anna is
a waitress, and Manuel is
the general manager.
Astorga’s serves authentic Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner in an
easy-to-reach location at
the northern end of Bishop,
right at Highway 395 and
North See Vee Lane.
Astorga’s has its own parking lot for easy access.
The restaurant keeps
things fresh by offering
new promotions such as
Street Vendor Taco Tuesday
on the newly remodeled
patio, Endless Enchilada
Wednesdays, and lunch
specials from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
Happy hour is from 3-5

Besides great food,
Astorga’s prides itself on
taking customer feedback
seriously, and being a part
of
the
community.
According to general manager Manuel Astorga, “We
like to see ourselves as
being different. We want to
give back to the community
as much as possible.
Thanksgiving we’ve done
free dinners for the last
four years. We remodeled
the patio just about one
year ago. We do the clubs,
Rotary, Chamber, Camera
Club, other clubs, once,
twice a month they reserve
the room. During Mule Days
we have a food booth and
we’ve been doing that for
about 10 years.”
Indeed, Astorga’s put a
lot of time and care over
the years into making sure
its dining areas are inviting.
They broke ground on the
new outdoor patio last May
and when it opened, it was
an instant hit: an open, welcoming spot for any type of
dining, be it a romantic dinner for two, a stopover on a
road trip to Mammoth or
Reno, or a planned outing
with a large group.
All the classics are on the
menu at Astorga’s. If you
have a hankering for chile
relleno, enchiladas, tamales, flautas, tostadas, fajitas, burritos or tortas,
they’re all there and can be
ordered a la carte, or if
you’re hungry, in generously portioned combination
plates with rice and beans.
Chicken, shrimp, carne
asada, carnitas are all available as well as vegetable
options.
Save room for dessert!
Astorga’s serves up decadent classic specialties such
as homemade flan and fried
ice cream.

R
ite-Way Pool and
Spa is the Owens
Valley’s one-stop
shop for all pool and spa
needs. And this year owners Larry and Audrey
Thornburg are celebrating
the completion of a
remodel that includes
new merchandise and
maintenance equipment
for local pool and spa
owners.
In addition to its traditional service – the
Thornburgs say they are
available to answer any
questions and guidance
to pool and spa owners
and those looking to buy
their first pool or spa –
Rite-Way is offering a
whole new selection of
equipment and accessories.
“Our big thing is we’ve
just remodeled our pool
and spa side,” Larry said.
“We’ve got a lot of new
stock and we’ve got a new
full line of pool toys.”
One thing many residents may not realize is
that Rite-Way carries merchandise that will appeal
to local river floaters as
well as pool and spa owners.
“We’ve got floaters, for
the river or for the pool,
and games like basketball
and volleyball,” Larry said.
“We’ve had people come
in in the past and look at
our toy selection, and it
wasn’t much. Now we’ve
got a lot more variety.”
But it’s not all fun and
games. Rite-Way also specializes in all the filters,
pumps, heaters and chemicals pool and spa owners
need to operate a pool or
spa.
Larry also said that one
of Rite-Way’s missions is
to improve pool safety
throughout the Eastern
Sierra. “We do pool safety
inspections at a reasonable rate just because we
want to see people making their pool safe,” he
said. “The safety stuff is
something we’re really big
on, it’s our number one
priority.”
The Thornburgs are
also big on maintenance
and upkeep, and make
themselves available to
answer any and all questions about how to maintain a pool and spa in the
Eastern Sierra climate
and, of course, they carry
everything a pool-owner
needs.
“We have testing devices for the chemistry – two
or three different brands
– and we’ve added a lot of
other things to our supply
to make it easier and convenient. We can answer all
your questions,” Larry
said.
Larry also explained
that there is a lot more to
owning a pool in the Sierra
than in warmer climates
like Los Angeles and Las
Vegas. “Opening and closing your pool for the season takes a lot more. Some
people shut their pools
down completely. Most
people who own an inground pool educate
themselves, because it’s
an investment, but we are
always here to help and
answer questions,” Larry
said. “There are a lot of
different things about the
pool and spa business
that people don’t realize,
but we can help, over the
phone, in your own backyard or in the store here.”
Larry said that many
who are interested in
installing a pool have a
change of heart when they
start considering the realities of the purchase, and
a viable alternative is a
spa.
“Hot tubs actually up
the value of your home,
and we’re the exclusive

A
lpine Signs in
Bishop, affectionately
known by its unofficial
name, the 395 Store, is
celebrating 10 years of
business in the Eastern
Sierra.
In those 10 years,
Alpine Signs has created storefront signs for
a number of local businesses, and grown to
service a clientele from
all across the U.S.
The other side of the
business, the 395 Store,
which created the popular U.S. Highway 395
stickers that are available at 25 different
retailers up and down
the national highway,
has helped to turn
Alpine Signs into a recognizable brand, and
helped create an identity for the store, and the
Eastern
Sierra
Communities
as
a
whole.
Alpine Signs was born
in 2004 when Joe and
Caryn Todd were passing through Bishop on
their way home to
Southern
California
after a ski trip in
Mammoth. Caryn Todd
explains that the couple
had been creating business signs as a side
business out of their
home for a number of
years, and saw that
Frenchie’s Signs was up
for sale. “We made them
an offer, we got it and
we moved here in 2005,”
Caryn said.
For the couple, it was
a dream come true.
They were able to relocate to the Eastern
Sierra and turn what
was essentially a creative hobby into a business.
Alpine Signs creates
business signage, graphics, custom decals, car
wraps, wood signs of all
kinds, magnets, vinyl
lettering, banners and
metal signs.
“A lot of people forget we do banners,”
Caryn said. “For fishing
opener, we get really
busy.”
Alpine Sign can also
make banners for big
sales and special events.
And, according to the
Todds, one of the best
parts is that it’s all handled locally.
“We’re the one and
only
licensed
and
insured sign company
in the Owens Valley and
we print and make all
our signs, banners (and)
decals right here in
Bishop,” Caryn said.
“We invested in the
machines so we can do
it all right here. The
only thing we don’t do
are our T-shirts.”
Another bonus is that
Joe is the resident artist
who can custom-design
logos for signs and banners.
“Joe is very creative,
he can pump out all
kinds of different ideas
and styles, so no two
designs are the same,”
Caryn said.
The other side of the
business is the 395
Store, which offers
Eastern Sierra-oriented
merchandise. “The 395
Store gives us an opportunity to meet the tourists, people who may
not have stopped into
the store otherwise,”
Caryn said, explaining
that the Highway 395
merchandise
brings
many into the store who
then see the work Alpine
Signs does. That business model has led to
growth, with many outof-the area businesses
contracting with Alpine
Signs for their signs and
banners.
“There are also people who have moved
out of the area who
continue to use us,”
Caryn said, explaining
that email allows her
and Joe to work with
clients anywhere in the
world to develop signs
and banners that can
then be shipped out of
the area. “You name it,
we can do it online,”
Caryn said.
The 395 Store has
also created the kind of
brand recognition that
helps a small, locally
owned business grow.
Caryn explained that
word has gotten out
about the 395 store,
and major brands like
Route 66 have contacted them to print some
of their merchandise.
The big buzz is 395,”
Caryn said. “It’s the big
thing right now, it somewhere people want to
go and be a part of,”
and the 395 Store is
designed to keep the
momentum building
and draw more visitors
to the Eastern Sierra.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“A people’s

of a child to its
mother.”
– John Henrik Clarke,

eagle feathers on their graduation caps as they have for
generations, but also beadwork – this year at least.
In what’s being viewed as
a small but significant victory
for respect of Native
American culture, the school
district will allow Native students to wear beaded mortar
boards at the June 5 graduation.
The policy change comes
on the heels of weeks of outcry on social media, a letter
to the district from the
California Indian Education
Association, a damning article
in the national Indian
Country Today Media
Network and, finally, meetings between administrators
and representatives of
California Indian Legal
Services.
According to CILS,
Superintendent Barry
Simpson and Principal Randy
Cook reached out in search of
a resolution last week, with
the decision being made May
7 to allow the beaded caps.
At the center of the controversy was Leticia Gonzales,
a cheerleader, the high
school’s Native American
Student Association princess,
NASA Club president and
Tribal Youth Council president.
In March, her grandmother, Jeanette Barlow, a Bishop
Paiute elder, had beaded a
border around Gonzales’s
graduation cap in the school
colors – Barlow’s way of hon-
oring her granddaughter’s
upcoming milestone and
accomplishment through tradition.
According to Gonzales’
mom, Carrie Jones, the graduation held extra significance
for Barlow, whose own five
children, including Jones,
were not able to graduate
Bishop High. Gonzales, in
fact, would be the first in the
family to receive a diploma
from BUHS.
With her first and oldest
granddaughter poised to
graduate and with such distinctions behind her name,
“my mom was so proud,”
Jones said, noting her mother’s failing health made the
gesture all the more meaningful.
BAD NEWS
So it came as a slap in the
face when Gonzales walked
into the Tribal Liasion office
April 29 to find a message
written on the whiteboard
“reminding” students of a
long-standing BUHS policy.
Someone had written a
warning to the Class of 2015
stating students “are NOT
allowed to adorn, bead or
decorate your mortarboard
(cap/tassle [sic]) in any way,
shape or form. BUHS does
not allow this.”
The message went on to
say that any student showing
up at graduation with a cap
“altered in any way” will
“NOT be allowed to participate in the graduation cereSee cap E Page 3

colors by her grandmother, Bishop Paiute elder Jeanette Barlow (seated). With the cap already
beaded, Gonzales was told of a long-standing school policy prohibiting decorated mortar boards.
Barlow remembers a time when her brother had to cut his long Paiute hair to walk in his graduation.

Bishop midget racing
Back in 1954, a group of Bishop locals with an interest in Indianapolis Class racing met and
decided to establish quarter midget racing in Bishop. The group eventually joined the National
Midget Association and was certified as the Eastern Sierra Racing Association. Under the direction of President Connie Morris, Vice President Gene Crosby and Secretary Beverley Davis, and
with the help of fans and local businesses, the group constructed a track in the southeast corner
of the Tri-County Fairgrounds. As part of the program, young drivers were coached and attended classroom sessions to learn about the mechanics of midget racing and offensive and defensive driving skills. After six or seven seasons, Morris said there were no injuries, emergencies or
fatalities, only three hurt feelings and two instances of crying. Do you have a vintage photo – of
yourself, your family or even local landmarks – you’d like featured for “Throwback Thursday”
in an upcoming edition? If so, email it along with essential information to editor@inyoregister.

CAP
Continued from front page
mony.”
Gonzales was devastated.
“My daughter just knew
how important it was that
she was being honored by
her grandma because my
mom was so proud,” Jones
said.
Gonzales was quoted in
a May 5 Indian Country
Today article written by
Vincent Schilling: “I don’t
think this is hurting anyone
and my grandmother made
this out of love, respect and
honor. We didn’t think
there would be an issue as
we got this cap two months
ago and we had to buy it.
The school allows us to
attach feathers to our tassels.”
It was an especially bitter disappointment for
Barlow, Gonzales’ grandmother, who remembers
her brother being told by
BUHS he had to cut his long
Paiute hair short if he wanted to walk in the graduation ceremony.
Gonzales’
mother
emailed the principal,
Randy Cook, and the vice
principal, David Kalk, on
April 29, letting them know
that, yes, her daughter did
have a beaded cap and they
were saddened by what
seemed like discrimination.
Neither man responded,
Jones said, so she forwarded the email to administration. Again, no response.
Cook was contacted for
comment yesterday and
said all inquiries were to be
directed to Simpson, who
did not return phone calls
seeking comment.
THE REACTION
Schoolwide, reactions to
the announcement had
been mixed.
Some students saw it as
a simple matter of freedom; students do, after all,
purchase the caps and
gowns they wear during the
ceremony that is ostensibly
held for them, their families and other supporters.
Some students shrugged
the message off as a
reminder of long-standing
The graduation cap purchased
by Leticia Gonzales’ family and
decorated by her grandmother
in Native American style before
a mysterious warning showed
up on a whiteboard reminding
students of a mortar board policy.

prompted the warning, which refers to long-standing policy.

school policy. Other students were hearing about
the policy for the first time
and
wondered
what
prompted the announcement. (The family thinks
word got around about
Gonzales’ beaded cap and
the April 29 whiteboard
message was a pre-emptive
strike.)
For others, like Gonzales,
the words carried more
weight, leaving her feeling
denied the right to express
pride in her heritage.
“It feels like they are telling us ‘no’ all over again,”
she told Indian Country
Today. “The way they told
us we could not speak our
languages
when
nonNatives made us go to
boarding schools. The cap
decoration is not big or
flashy, it is in our school
colors. I’ve always appreciated our school and I have
school pride as I am a
cheerleader. I’ve always
appreciated our school.”
As Jones explained, the
issue was more than just
her daughter being allowed
to wear a pretty cap, or
even something that her
grandmother made her; it’s
about the right to respect
tradition without getting in
trouble.
“I have four other kids
we want to graduate from
BUHS, and my nieces and
nephews and other tribal
members, with this option,”
she said. “Not everyone is
going to choose to bead
their caps but if they do, we
wanted them to be able to
do so without going against
policy.”
TAKING ACTION
In light of a lack of
response from BUHS, Jones
and her family sought to
get the word out about
what they perceived as an
unfair policy. Jones also
sought legal aid from the
CILS.
A post on Facebook
quickly garnered the attention of hundreds of residents, whose opinions on
the matter, like the students at BUHS, varied from
indifference to outrage.
It was that post which
grabbed the attention of
the writer at Indian Country
Today, who began making
phone calls to BUHS.
Just prior to the article’s
publication, Jones had been
in touch with the California
Indian
Education
Association, whose president, Willie Carrillo, sent a
letter to the Bishop school
district on May 1 asking for
a change in policy to allow
beaded caps.
“We stand in support of
the families who wish to
honor their cultural heritage in combination with
their significant educational achievement of graduating,” Carrillo wrote. “As you
may
know,
Native
Americans have some of
the highest dropout rates
and disparities in the
Nation. That is one of the
reasons why a student may
want to honor their family
and tribe with this important cultural symbol. It is
the families, tribes and cul-
ture that support these
youth through their educational paths. Although
mainstream America has
long supported an individualistic society that honor
independence, our tribal
communities have believed
in interdependence as one
of the most important concepts in our society.
“The concept of ‘It takes
a village’ is proudly represented and the symbolic
gestures these students
make on their day of graduation honors the contributions of all of the important
people in their lives that
have supported them in
their journey,” Carrillo continued. “It also celebrates
that they refuse to be a statistic, and have reached a
great milestone for their
families
and
tribal
nations.”
FINDING RESOLUTION
Several days later, the
Indian Country Today article was published and soon
after, BUHS administration
called a meeting with representatives from CILS and
the Bishop Indian Education
Center.
“To address concerns
raised by Ms. Jones, her
daughter and family members … Superintendent
Barry Simpson and Principal
Randy Cook reached out to
local tribal leaders and CILS
to request a meeting to initiate dialogue and hopefully come to a satisfactory
resolution,” CILS said in a
statement. “All parties were
concerned with the short
timeframe in order to get
notice out to affected parents and students. Within a
week, all involved were able
to conduct two meetings,
which resulted in the Bishop
Union School agreeing to
allow graduating Native
American students this
year to adorn their caps
with beads as well as wearing their beaded eagle
feathers.”
With the announcement,
Gonzales’
grandmother
went to work putting the
finishing touches on her
granddaughter’s cap.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Field trips to road
sites would
be helpful
The Inyo National Forest is
assessing its road system and
that’s generating controversy. To
rephrase a saying, “Whiskey is for
drinking and roads are for fighting.”
The Forest Service is required
to maintain an Inyo National Forest
road system that: provides access
for recreation and forest management, can be maintained within
the agency’s budget and partnership capabilities, and safeguards
water, fish, wildlife and other key
resources. To get this critical conversation going, the agency held a
public meeting on April 21. They
asked for our help as they attempt
a challenging “Travel Analysis”
balancing act. I know many local
folks have been reviewing agency
maps and draft documents, talking to staff, and driving forest
roads since the 21st. The following are some key points and information I’d urge us all to consider.
First, roads have both benefits
and risks. Roads provide popular
driving opportunities, take us to
our favorite recreation spots and
provide access for land management activities. But roads can also,
for example, facilitate theft of cultural resources and poorly maintained roads can erode and harm
streams and fish.
Second, the agency doesn’t have
the budget to manage all its roads.
The Inyo National Forest only
receives 58 percent of the funding
necessary to maintain its current
road system. Something needs to
give. More partnerships for road
management will help, but changes to existing roads may be needed.
Next, there’s been confusion
about road numbers and mileage.
There are 1,905 total miles of
roads maintained by the Forest
Service on the Inyo National Forest.
Of this road mileage, 1,791 miles
are so-called “Level 2” roads
favored by 4-wheel drive enthusiasts. The Forest Service’s draft
report recommends changes to
323 miles of these 1,791 miles of
4-wheel drive roads. That’s 18 percent of the mileage of these highclearance roads. Still a percentage
worthy of public review, but less
than a previous letter suggested.
Fourth, while future changes to
these 323 miles of “likely not
needed” roads could include
rerouting, reconstruction, revised
maintenance plans or closures,
road changes can only be made as
part of future national forest management projects. And these future
projects will, by law, require public engagement and comment. I’d
encourage the Forest Service to
offer public field trips to these
project areas (like the field trip the
agency is offering to Oak Creek on
May 15 for a proposed restoration
project).
Finally, let’s remember that any
important public question is best
handled if we all bring our best
selves to the conversation. Though
our individual use and enjoyment
of the Inyo may vary, the forest is
critically important to our communities and our outdoor way of life.
And our neighbors and fellow citizens who work for the Forest
Service are required by law to do
an important and often difficult
job. Let’s focus on how we can all
best work together to find a successful balance of public access,
fiscal responsibility and care for
the land.

Guilty as charged
I must agree that I did not back
up or do my homework involving
my last opinion piece published
May 9, “Blind to the damage done.”
The piece was very short and to
the point of where I was coming
from.
I couldn’t help thinking, however, that if I were to outline,
backup and reference the many
ways liberals have damaged this
country it would take a book, a
very thick book. I will submit a
more detailed piece on just one
destructive liberal policy, in the
future, to the, “Top of the Morning”
section where you are allowed
more space to pontificate.
I can, however, refer the reader
to the following website if they are
interested in learning more:

Opt out of testing?
Should you let your child opt out
of testing? Consider this: would
you want to be operated on by a
doctor who had not passed a surgery test? Would you want to fly in
a plane when the pilot had not
passed a flight test?
At some time your child will
have to take some tests to be
employed. Sixty years ago my father
had to pass a test that included
basic algebra in order to become a
ditch digger for the PG&E.
The time to start testing and
learn to deal with the emotions that
accompany taking tests is when
your child is quite young. The
results of taking State tests in the
early grades is not viewed very seriously by teachers because the
scores do not come in for about
four months and by then the child
is in the next grade. They learn so
fast at that age that the child will
by then have learned much of what
he/she did not know previously.
If you let your child opt out you
are saying to your child “Testing is
such a horrible ordeal that I don’t
want you to experience it” and/or
“You are not as smart and as strong
as other kids so I am going to protect you from testing.” Think how
much anxiety your child will have
about testing by the time he/she
has to take tests for college entrance
or to gain employment.
You can help your child by first
establishing a “learning is fun” attitude in your home. Have your child
look at that insect in the garden,
read with your child from birth to
even after he/she can read, and
take your child(ren) to local events
and museums.

Talk to your child about testing.
Avoid threatening your child with
punishment for not scoring high on
a test. Just ask him/her to pay
attention to instructions and try
their best. Say, “This is the time to
show what you have learned. Tests
are made to have some questions
about things you may not have
studied yet. Often they are too long
to finish. They don’t expect you to
know everything yet. You are just a
student and learning day by day. So
just try and you may even find you
enjoy the challenge.” Let children
know they may feel a little nervous,
and this is their bodies way of helping them to concentrate on the
task.
I started teaching in 1967. I have
worked with all ages of children
from preschool through high school
and administered countless State
tests. I have never seen a child
break down from the stress of the
testing. I am not saying anything
here about the quality of the tests,
which is a controversial matter.
Children and young adults will
always have to be tested. If you act
calm and confident about testing,
this feeling will be felt by your
child and he/she will feel the
same.

Andrews honored
for service to communities
The Inyo-Mono Advocates for Community Action Board of Directors honored Raymond Andrews
(above) with a photograph and plaque showing Mono Lake, his ancestral home. Andrews
served on the Board of Directors since 1989, most of those 26 years as Chairman. According to
IMACA, Andrews was instrumental in obtaining Tribal funding which enabled the inclusion of a
Head Start Classroom at the Lee Vining Community Center. Andrews recently resigned from the
board and was presented this Plaque by Carolyn Balliet, the new IMACA Board Chair.

county does not have an ordinance regulating
medical marijuana dispensaries or cultivation,
She provided a workshop that included testimony from several law enforcement officials
regarding the operation of medical marijuana
dispensaries and cultivation.
Ultimately, the board opted to maintain the
status quo, and asked staff to return for another workshop that will include more balanced
presentations, identifying both pros and cons
to the operation of dispensaries.
During the presentation, Kabala said the
Planning Department is reopening the issue in
response to interest expressed by residents
and non-residents who are considering opening dispensaries locally.
In a staff report, Kabala said at least one
individual has pursued, and was ultimately
denied, a lease to operate a medical marijuana
dispensary in an unincorporated part of the
county.
Kabala also said there has also been interest
expressed elsewhere in the county to develop
medical marijuana cultivation facilities, including potential consideration by Native American
tribes to cultivate marijuana on sovereign
tribal lands.
Kabala told the board that the county has
the opportunity to outright ban marijuana
dispensaries, or it could allow the dispensaries
to open locally, and regulate them through
zoning and land use guidelines.
Tuesday’s workshop included testimony
from Sheriff’s Deputy Ed Obayashi, a current
Inyo Narcotic Enforcement Team agent and a
former law enforcement officer in Merced
County.
“Seven years ago I dealt with this (in Merced)
and I helped develop a joint position statement in opposition to marijuana dispensaries,”
Obayashi said, explaining that there is a correlation between medical marijuana and
crime.
“They’re s**t magnets, literally,” Obayashi
said. “You will lose your quality of life in this
county if you set up a pot dispensary.”
Obayashi explained that, under California’s
Compassionate Use Act, residents who have a
doctor’s recommendation for medical marijuana use are permitted to use marijuana, and
purchase it from dispensaries.
However, he said there are secondary
impacts to the operation of medical marijuana
dispensaries, including loitering, the potential
sale to minors and theft.
“If you open up a paper in the communities
that have pot dispensaries, you’re going to see
chaos,” Obayashi said.
When the Board of Supervisors asked what
kinds of problems Mammoth Lakes law
enforcement has encountered due to its two
dispensaries, Obayashi said that Mammoth
Lakes has not kept a record of reports that
involved marijuana from its two dispensaries.
Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze also spoke,
explaining that the Sheriff’s Department does
not have the resources to deal with the secondary impacts of medical marijuana clinics.
Inyo County District Attorney’s Investigator
Rick Beall said that his concern is for the
safety of local kids.
He explained that many dispensaries sell
marijuana edibles (items like cookies or candy
that have marijuana baked into them) and concentrated cannabis, which can have a 60-70
percent THC level. Mammoth prohibited the
sale of both of these at its local dispensaries.
Mammoth dispensaries also prohibit anyone
who does not have doctor’s recommendation
from entering the facilities where medical
marijuana is sold.
Much like liquor stores, Beall said that
underage kids and residents looking to get
marijuana without the legal paperwork to do
so will loiter outside clinics and ask legal buyers to pick up a little extra for them.
Even worse, he said, the edibles have made
their way into schools, where they have caused
students to hallucinate and vomit.
While the board listened to local law enforcement recommend against allowing pot dispensaries in local communities, Fourth District
Supervisor Mark Tillemans raised the concern
that there is momentum throughout the state
to legalize recreational use of the drug.
“It’s on the ballot and all indications are that
it’s going to pass,” Tillemans said, asking
where the county will stand if the drug is legalized and Inyo has a prohibition in effect.
There was no answer offered for that question. However, Deputy County Counsel Julia
Langley did point out that the county wouldn’t
face any legal repercussions for upholding its
prohibition, as residents who do legally have a
right to obtain marijuana can do so in the
nearby communities of Mammoth Lakes,
Ridgecrest and California City. Basically, she
said that the county would not be prohibiting
legal users from obtaining marijuana if it outlaws dispensaries.
Ultimately, the Board of Supervisors opted
to take no action at this time, and asked the
Planning Department to return with a more
balanced presentation that will weigh both the
pros and cons of allowing or banning dispensaries and taking into account potential changes in state and federal law in the near and far
future.
“There’s a lot more discussion to be had on
the pros and cons,” Fifth District Supervisor
Matt Kingsley said.
Second District Supervisor Jeff Griffiths
agreed, saying that keeping the status quo
while the board further researches the matter
“seems like the prudent path.”

The Inyo Register
Room refund should be shared with traveling companion
Dear Annie: I have a problem with one of my best
friends, and I hope you can
help. “Monique” and I recently split the cost of a hotel
room so we could enjoy a
weekend of shopping and
relaxation. We experienced a
few problems with the room,
nothing major, but Monique
complained to the manager
and got a coupon for a free
night on her next visit. I was
excited until she told me she
intended to use it with her
husband because she’s
always wanted to go there
with him.
I didn’t say anything to
Monique, but why does this
refund belong only to her?
We’ve talked about returning
to the place in a few months,
and I think the coupon
should be used for the two
of us. I will find it really difficult to come back here with
Monique if I can’t get past
this.
Would you please explain
why she feels this is hers
when I paid for half of the
room? I wouldn’t care quite
as much except that we
always use my car and
Monique only pays for gas
now and then.
– Not Trying
To Be Selfish
Dear Not Trying: Monique
may feel that the refund
belongs to her because she
was the one who complained.
But both of you were inconvenienced by this room, and
the refund should be shared.
Tell Monique you believe it
would be fair to use the
refund for your next shopping excursion together. If
she refuses, you are under
no obligation to return there
with her. She will know why.
Dear Annie: I am a woman,
5-foot-10 and 240 pounds. I
wear a size 12E men’s shoe.
Why do retail stores discriminate against tall women?
They have petites, plus-sizes

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
The conflict between desire and
responsibility is an age-old struggle
that to some degree affects us every
day, though the current Mars and
Saturn opposition makes it seem
more pronounced. The right thing to
do is often not the easiest or most
appealing course of action, and yet it’s
the only one that won’t end in regret.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You are open to unusual, original and
novel ideas, so open, in fact, that
sometimes you miss the obvious success key. That’s why it helps to have a
very pragmatic friend in your mix.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Strategy will be better than impulse.
Plan your attack, and at least three
people around you will support you.
Earth signs will be especially helpful
– that’s Virgo, Capricorn or a fellow
Taurus.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At
first you’ll ask without much luck in
the way of a response. “I don’t know”
will quickly change to “I know” when
you ask a different question. Prod if
you must to get to the root of your
problem.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Many sales techniques hinge on the
belief that the things that are most
desirable are in limited supply. Think
twice when you’re urged to “buy now
because there are only three left.”
There are many more than three left.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have a talent for levity and an instinct
for fun – lead with laughter today.
There is no need to be self-conscious
and overly concerned about what others think.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People who feel pressured are likely
to act out of fear, and the result will
lead to regret. How can you take the
pressure off? How can you make it
fun?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
value honesty, but do be gentle,
because the people around you are
more sensitive than usual. Much will
be accomplished with a compassionate tone of voice.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You seek the kind of understanding
that can only come from putting your-
Holiday Mathis
self in another person’s position. You
don’t mind walking a mile in another
person’s moccasins as long as that
person’s shoe size is similar to yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You approach the day as if it
were an experiment, and your curious, playful mindset will keep you
from getting frustrated. Whether it
goes right or wrong, you learn.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
On the subject of personal and emotional space, everyone has a certain
comfort zone. You need a bigger buffer than usual today, and you’ll favor
those who understand and respect
your boundaries.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You may be building an event up to
be much bigger than it needs to be.
Try hard, but don’t worry if it doesn’t
work out. There will be more and better opportunities in your future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Small issues can escalate quickly. If
you run into a problem, meet with the
others involved straight away and
face-to-face for speedy resolution.
Lose old baggage. It’s not relevant to
who you are now.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14).
Tenacity breeds success. June shows
you regularly seeing someone special.
July brings second chances and a
homecoming. A friend will excel within an area you long to master. It’s not
a contest. Accept the help that’s
offered to you in September. Barriers
to forward movement are eliminated
in November. Leo and Scorpio people
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4,
1, 22, 20 and 14.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST:
ARIES: When your efforts to get
close to someone are not working,
see whether you have better luck by
doing the opposite. TAURUS: Your
imagination is more powerful than
you think. The fictional scenario you
dream up could happen in reality.
GEMINI: You’ll chase a mystery all
weekend. CANCER: Children and
those who are young at heart will
spark your joy. The more you’re
around the spirit of youth the younger
you’ll feel. LEO: Control freaks are not
fun to be around. All goes beautifully
when you accept people as they are.
VIRGO: Take a step back, and let
things settle. What seemed to be falling apart may really be falling into
place. LIBRA: No plan? No problem.
You’ll be at your best when you are
forced to improvise. SCORPIO:
Progress doesn’t always look like
progress. You’ll take one step forward
and two steps back, but that’s fine -this is a dance, not a race.
SAGITTARIUS: The most interesting
people can be happy, interested and
enthusiastic for no good reason.
CAPRICORN: With fear comes
heightened energy and greater awareness – it’s a gift, really. AQUARIUS:
You put in the practice and honed
your talent, and now you’ll reap the
benefits. PISCES: Good conversations are stimulated by interesting
environments.
COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND:
The moon and the sun will both be in
Taurus this weekend, begging the
question: Can two bulls be too many
for one relationship? The stubbornness that the bull is known for can be
a problem if the two Taurus natives
are in disagreement, but the same
tenacity can be applied to doing the
work it takes to make love last. This
couple doesn’t expect love’s journey
to be a constant honeymoon.

The Proposed Project represents planned development of the Reservation, as envisioned by the Tribe's Integrated Resource Management
Plan 2006-2015 (January 2006), potential employment for Tribal members, and additional revenue for the Tribe. In addition, the Proposed
Project would benefit the area by providing a place for commercial
trucks to park during highway closures due to snow, rain, fire, blowing
dust, etc. This would improve the overall safety of US 395 by removing
trucks from state highways, County and Reservation roadways, and
City streets.
A public hearing will be held to solicit comments on the proposed project on May 20, 2015 at 6:00 PM in the Wellness Center, located at 545

Students get private tour of Manzanar
Rangers help young learners understand life behind barbed wire
Register Staff
California Connections Academy @ Central, a tuitionfree online public school, recently hosted a field trip to
the Manzanar War Relocation Center where students
from kindergarten to seventh grade had the opportunity
to connect what they have learned at school with the reallife experiences of those who were Japanese internees
during World War II.
With the guidance of Mr. Sasaki, a former internee,
students learned firsthand what it was like to grow up in
the camp as they heard stories about the living conditions
and even played with the toys that would have entertained them if they had grown up there.
During the May 4 field trip, Manzanar Ranger Rose
Masters also led the camp exploration as she walked the
children through several exhibits, including the old
latrines to witness the lack of privacy on the camp, and
to the camp barracks, where the students got a first-hand
look at the living conditions internees were exposed to.
California Connections Academy @ Central serves students in grades K-12 across Inyo, and surrounding counties, including Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare. Students
receive individualized attention and have access to
unique offerings such as many foreign languages, digital
technology and career technical courses, UC “a-g”
approved science wet labs and honors and AP courses.
Field trips, like this month’s visit to Manzanar, also
give the students an opportunity to socialize with other
students.
Seventh-grader Damian Smith and fourth-grader Tasman Cassell listen to the stories of Japanese internees during a field trip with their
online school, California Connections Academy @ Central.

playoff opener;

Register Staff
Break out the bold typeface,
the Lady Broncos won their
first-round playoff game
against Highland by a score of
11-9.
Samantha Riesen was in
good form pitching a complete
game, facing 40 batters and
whiffing six.
At the plate Riesen went 2-5
with two runs scored.
Just about everyone else in
the lineup contributed as well,
Sabrina Barlow with a single
and a run scored; Korina
Toledo 3-5 with a triple and a
run scored; Bailee Piper 3-5
with two doubles, an RBI and
two runs scored; Hannah
Waasdrop 2-5 with two runs
scored; Aurora Todedo singled

scored; Rubee Manuelito with
a single and two RBIs; and
Tiraney Andreas with two hits.
On Deck
Next up, the dreaded Kern
Valley Broncs at 3:30 today.
The Bishop ladies have not
beat the Broncs in three tries
this season, but as they say,
the playoffs are a whole new
season. “Hopefully the fourth
time we’ll get them,” said
Coach Mike Jones. “We’ve been
close with them. It’s always
been just one inning that gets
us.”
The boys played their playoff opener at Arvin yesterday
afternoon, too late for today’s

Spring fishing in the Eastern Sierra
Despite a warm dry winter,
spring has been wet, snowy,
and very windy. It is a typical
Eastern Sierra spring with much
wind. As a fly fisherman it is
the wind that ruins many fly
fishing days.
One of the tricks to getting
out of the wind is to fish early
in the day. Most spring days
the wind does not come until
afternoon. Right now we have
been in a pattern with afternoon wind and thunder clouds.
This is not good for getting in a
couple of hours of fishing after
work.
The wind affects lake fishing worse than stream fishing.
I went to the Black Rock
Hatchery area a week ago to
check out some of the bass
waters. I was planning to take
the boats. I did not get out until
late afternoon and the wind
was up. I left the boats home
which turned out to be a good
thing as the ponds were full of
wind-swept waves.
The problem with the bass
ponds is that the perimeter is
full of cattails and offers few
places to fish from shore. I
managed to land one blue gill
and have one bass look at my
popper. It’s still a little early in
the season for top-water bass
fishing. I’m looking forward to
a few evenings this summer
fishing the bass ponds around
Fred Rowe
Columnist
Black Rock.
Fishing streams in the wind
can be easier if you can find
areas out of the wind. On the
lower Owens River the willows
and cattails form wind breaks.
Some spots are so protected
that there is no wind on the
river to effect the casting. On
the upper-elevation streams
the pine trees and natural landscape can protect the fly fisher
from the wind.
Spring time can be tricky to
figure out where to fish. Run
off, frozen lakes and finding
spawning fish are just a few of
the factors to consider when
looking for a spring time fishing spot. Networking with
friends is a great way to find
the hot locations.
My mentee Ardie Wagoner
has been chasing spawning fish
from Crowley Lake in the upper
Owens River for most of winter. The last month has been
slow for spawners in the river
system. Ardie got a tip that the
cutthroats had moved up into
the Owens. A quick trip up to
the river and a little exploring
found that there are cutthroats
up to three pounds moving
through the river to their
spawning beds above Benton
Crossing Road.
I have been fishing the
Czech nymph fishing method
exclusively, except two days of
dry fly fishing during the winter BWO hatch, this winter. I
heard from one of my fly fishing contacts that the canal
behind town has a BWO hatch
going off in the mornings.
Monday morning right after
my dental cleaning I went out
to the canal behind the Ford
dealership looking for the
hatch. By 10 a.m. I got rigged
up with a size 16 quill bodied
BWO parachute and a size 18
olive quill bodied RS2, the
hatch was in full swing. There
was a sporadic hatch with a
half dozen browns rising in the
section directly across from
were I was parked. I fished for
an hour and landed two and
missed two. A check of a trout’s
stomach contents revealed that
my flies were way too big with
the naturals being a size 22.
The backcountry offers an
array of fly fishing opportunities that I try to take advantage
of every year. There are several
waters in the Bishop drainage
that I like to fish. I’ve heard
from two different hikers that
Long Lake above South Lake is
still frozen over. I would like to
catch this water right after it
ices out. This can be one of the
best times to fish a high country lake.
Spring time fishing in the
Eastern Sierra can be unpredictable with snow storms, frozen lakes and the ever-present
wind. Armed with the most up
to date information and the
right flies anglers can find trout
willing to take their properly
presented patterns.

It got rained out, pushed
back and moved around, but
the Big Pine Warriors and Lady
Warriors got their regular season home finale played on
Monday as a home doubleheader against Immanuel
Christian. The girls got a split
of their games which is good
enough to keep their season
rolling towards a potential
championship; the boys lost
their games.
Varsity Girls
The Lady Warriors split
their games, winning the first
by a score of 7-1 and losing
the second by a score of 10-2.
In the first game, pitcher
Gina Lewis threw all five
innings giving up only four
hits and striking out six. The
Lady Warriors scored four
times in the first, Melissa
Barlow setting the tone with a
lead-off triple, and then Lewis,
Paaku’u
Dewey,
Sienna
Gutierrez and Kaylee Simpson
all reaching base in the early
rally. Big Pine scored three
more in the third, and Lewis
cruised to the win facing only
nine in the first three innings.
In the second game the
Lady Warriors slipped in the
fourth inning. The score was
tied at 2-2 but they errored six
times leading to six unearned
runs.
Boys Varsity
The Big Pine boys struggled
in their double-header, losing
the first game by a score of
17-8 and the second game by
a score of 17-3.
On Deck
Big Pine teams travel to
Ridgecrest to play Immanuel
Christian one more time at 6
p.m. on Friday.
For the Lady Warriors, a
win would mean winning
the league championship. The
Lady Warriors have also guaranteed themselves a CIF-SS
Softball Playoff spot, clinching
second place at the worst.

Register Staff
Lone Pine headed to Desert
for the second-to-last game of
their regular season. The boys
team won 13-2 but the girls
lost an important game 9-6.
Varsity Girls
In a game that would have
cinched them a playoff spot,
the Lady Warriors had some
trouble with errors and it cost
them.
“I hope with experience
comes confidence when playing away from home,” said
Coach Liz Jones.
Lacie Jones pitched the
game racking up six strikeouts and walking only one.
On the bases Katelyn
Button, Lacie Jones and
Jessianne Joiner each had two
hits. Button hit the ball hard
every time she came up in her
2-4 performance; she was
robbed by excellent defense
for her two outs. Juliann Jones
had a double; Emma Howe
had a triple; Kayla Noland had
a hit; and Marissa Honeyman
had a sac bunt that lead to a
run scored.
The girls have one more
shot to get a playoff berth –
they need to win at Silver
Valley in their final regular
season game.
Boys Varsity
The boys’ season has had
its ups and downs, so this
lateseason win over Desert
has got to feel good for them.
Ryan Cappello and Garrett
Sullivan split the pitching;
Sullivan had a grand slam in
the win.

Lone Pine heads to Silver

finale at 3:15 today.
If the Lady Warriors win,
they’re locked in for the playoffs.

FISHING REPORT
Lake Sabrina
Thanks, Mom – the nine
inches of snow was just what
we needed and she may not be
done yet! Yup, Mother Nature
bestowed us with one of the
biggest storms in the last two
years on Friday – it actually
looked like May with snow on
the ground here and there.
Not sure if it was the storm,
but fishing slowed a smidgen
this week. The inlets are still
your best bet, but stay out in a
little deeper water and use
Micetails, nightcrawlers or
PowerBait. Trolling with nightcrawlers or Thomas Buoyants
(red and gold) are producing
some limits. Salmon Eggs, nightcrawlers or PowerBait are working a bit from shore.
North Lake, Camp Sabrina
and Willow are still closed, but
all other campgrounds in Bishop
Creek Canyon are opened – still
a bit too cool yet for the potable
water at those camps. Bishop
Creek Lodge, Creekside RV Park
and Cardinal Village Resort will
all be opened for Opener.
Parchers Resort opens next
weekend.
We’ve got snow showers in
the forecast for next weekend.
Temps are expected to hover in
the mid-50s and then drop to
the high-40s on Thursday with a
chance of snow thru the weekend. Lows are to be in the high20s. You can check out the
weather forecast according to
Howard our local weather
‘guesser’
at
www.
MammothWeather.com. You
can also check out www.weather.gov – enter Aspendell, CA
(which is the little community
right below Lake Sabrina) in the
search field and you’ll get the
forecast for at the higher elevation. You may need to scroll
down on the webpage to see
the temps.

CONVICT LAKE
We were hit with a late winter storm last week. We received
about a foot of snow at the lake
starting on Thursday and continuing into Friday morning. It
did slow down the fishing a little
but we did get the biggest fish
from the past 2 years just prior
to the storm. If you are worried
about the snow, no need to fret.
Most of the snow has melted
lake level as of today.
Catch of the Week: More

Any color with garlic
worked well. I would suggest
using some type of added attractant. Pro-Cure, Bait-On, Lip

If you can’t beat ‘em
bet on ‘em
Told you not to sleep on the
Clippers. They’ve been waiting
too long for this. And stop complaining that you don’t like
them. I don’t either. Who outside of L.A. would? But in the
sportsbook, “like” doesn’t matter too much. These guys win.
When an NBA team is making their first deep playoff run,
they can establish a personality.
It can’t happen in one series.
Ok, maybe it can, but who
would care what your personality is anyway if you’re a one-anddone? Even if you establish one,
all you did was prove it was a
losing one.
But now the Clippers have
that chance. Are they precision
and speed like the JordanPippin Bulls? Are they flash and
bully like the Kobe-Shaq Lakers?
Are they mean and angry like –
oh wait. That’s it. Mean and
angry.
Blake Griffin. This guy could
be the nicest guy on earth. He
could be Mother Theresa in
Nikes, but with a mug like that,
let’s just say I’d feel safer with a
restraining order – and Bishop
is 250 miles from Staples
Center.
Maybe I’ll back off this guy a
little. He pulls off his commercial endorsements pretty well.
Maybe the guy has a sense of
humor after all. Off the court
anyway.
DeAndre Jordan. The
Clippers’ resident – and well
deserved – recipient of the
Hack-A-Shaq. He can’t shoot,
can’t dribble and is prone to
mental gaffs in key moments.
In fact, no one really wants to
see him handling the ball any
farther out than his armspan
from the rim. That’s OK though.
That’s what a modern big guy
is. Those long arms vacuum in
15 rebounds a game and he and
Griffin can toss it over the
heads of everyone until one can
just dunk it. It’s another twin
towers, like Duncan-to-Admiral,
but with a big angry sneer.
CP3 is angry too. I don’t
know why. He just is.
Even Doc Rivers looks madder. Maybe he’s just lost
patience with getting bounced
in the first round, even against
great teams. He doesn’t mince
words or give sweet-nothing
pep talks anymore. It’s lean and
mean, fire up the troops.
And now, the clincher is the
fifth starter. Matt Barnes.
Anyone see this? He’s basically
become the biggest trash talker
in the league now.
They’re playing the Rockets
and this guy yells at James
Harden’s – check this – mother.
He yelled at the dude’s mom!
And not “I’m gonna whoop your
Louis Israel
sports Columnist
son’s butt, ma’am.” What he
yelled was, well, even censoring,
I don’t think I can put the
phrase here. Of the three words,
the only printable one is “my.”
As if that wasn’t bad
enough, the league fine came
down and his response was saying the fine was an f- word of a
joke. And bull droppings.
Personally, I get a kick out of
that stuff. I never pretended
sports stars were heroes and I
never thought disgusting behavior should keep someone from
playing ball, short of prison
time.
My takeaway? The Clippers
aren’t just mad, they’re busting
mad. And, it looks good on
them. This is what they should
be. They’re going to finish off
the Rockets in game six tonight
and be a terror straight through
to the finals.
Hey, check the history. If
you’re looking for people who
acted like jerks all season long
and then won an NBA championship ring, you won’t have
trouble, the list is long. Start
with a few guys named
Rodman, Kobe, Isaiah and
Wallace. And end with Jordan
and Bird. Sure, we love those
last two now, but they were
notoriously the biggest biggame trash talkers of all time

Brady? Do I dare?
I don’t want to reduce every
controversy in sports to a betting opportunity but all these
villains are making it so easy.
And as usual, personally, I don’t
care that they deflated the football. (And they did. Com’on.)
Maybe I should, but I don’t.
I admit, maybe it’s because I
bet on the Pats in the AFC
Champ game knowing full well
if they’re not winning the game
they’ll do anything, legal, semilegal or straight-up illegal, to
win. So when they did this completely expected thing, I was
downright happy. What can I
say, the spread was -7 and they
won 45-7. If you’ve read this
column, you know, if the devil
was -7 in hell, I probably bet on
the devil.
But if it’s really about (yuk)
the integrity of the game, blame
the commissioner.
Think about it. Bud Selig
cheered and raked in millions
as MLB blossomed through the
steroid fueled ’90s. He knew –
of course he knew! – but when
everyone screamed “the records
are tainted!” he proclaimed himself the savior of baseball, the
man who cleaned up the sport,
when it was he who caused it
with his purposeful negligence
in the first place.
It’s the same darned thing
here. Roger Goodell hears this
and hears that about the
Patriots (The spygate Patriots!
The ineligible-receiver-play
Patriots! Hello?!) and does nothing going into the
Championship game. Then the
day after, a scandal hits. Now
I’m supposed to be impressed
because three months later he
got someone to write a 250page report that sort-of-concludes Brady “probably” knew?
Probably. Yeah. I’ll give you
probably. So they suspend him
four games. So? Suspend him
for a season. Don’t suspend
him at all. What the heck is the
difference? It already happened.
Punishment in sport is a
joke. If you’re worried about
integrity, you need to make
good rules around the game
before problems arise. Reacting
to the crowds and doling out
punishment hoping to save face
is insulting to the fans.
A commissioner needs to
take a risk and stick his neck
out to take action as soon as
problems come to his attention,
before wiseguys can take advantage in big games. Because they
will. That’s why there’s a commissioner. Or he can shut up
and admit he’s a worthless figurehead who collects a $40 million paycheck.
The only thing four games
means to you and me is the
Pats might not get home field
come playoff time. Yes, it punishes the Pats, but it doesn’t
make anyone discussing the
NFL able to say “integrity” with
a straight face.
Conclusion: take the Colts to
win it all at 8-1.
Fowler wins exciting
Players Championship
The 2015 Players
Championship ending was
insanely exciting, to say the
least. Rickie Fowler went
6-under par in his last six
holes on Sunday, survived a
three-hole aggregate playoff,
then sank a birdie on the
fourth playoff hole, the par-3
17th, to win the 2015 Players
Championship Sunday at TPC
Sawgrass.
Fowler, Sergio Garcia and
Kevin Kisner each finished at
12-under before playing the
first three-hole aggregate
playoff in tournament history. Fowler and Kisner birdied
the 17th and advanced to the
17th again after Garcia
missed a birdie putt at the
18th.
Fowler notched only his
second PGA Tour victory and
probably put to rest all that
talk about an anonymous survey that said he was overrated and questioned his ability
to win.
“I laughed at the poll,” he
said. “But yeah, if there was
any question, I think this
right here answers anything
you need to know.”
According to an anonymous poll of PGA Tour pros
conducted by Sports
Illustrated, Rickie Fowler was
voted the most overrated
golfer on the PGA Tour tied
with Ian Poulter. Both Fowler
and Poulter received 24 percent of the vote. Behind
Fowler and Poulter in the poll
were Bubba Watson at 12 percent and Hunter Mahan at 8
percent.
In 2014, Rickie Fowler did
Craig Jackson
sports Columnist
finish in the top five at all
four majors in golf, but he
didn’t win any of them and
was never really that big of a
threat to win any of them.
The golfing community has
tried to portray Fowler as
some sort of great PGA player
that we should all pay attention to. With his second win
on the tour last Sunday, he’ll
definitely receive more positive attention.
Sergio Garcia, who had a
two-shot lead heading to the
back nine, closed with a 68.
He had a 20-foot birdie putt
to win in regulation that
missed badly to the right.
And he faced a crowd that
was increasingly hostile to the
Spaniard, perhaps remembering the spat he had with Tiger
Woods two years ago. His
caddie was asking for security
when he made the turn. In
the three-hole playoff, a small
group of fans yelled, “USA!”
as he began to putt.
Fowler takes home $1.8
million for the victory after
playing the final six holes in
regulation at six-under par –
including finishing eagle,
birdie, birdie on the last three
holes to shoot a five-under 67
and post 12-under par for the
tournament. He would have
to wait over an hour after regulation to find out there was
a three-way tie and impending three-hole aggregate playoff.
While the insiders in golf
have long tried to make the
Players Championship the
fifth major in golf, the public
has never bought the idea
and certainly never accepted
it. Winning the Players
Championship is a great
thing, but it certainly does not
elevate a player to the status
that winning a major does.
For now, Fowler put all the
anonymous poll jargon to
rest by winning one of the
most dramatic finishes for
the Players Championship
trophy last Sunday. For his
part, Fowler only addressed
the poll by saying he could
use it as a “kick in the pants”
to motivate himself last
week. Apparently, it worked
and silenced his critics in the
process.

An edge-of-yourseat sequel
Reviews of movies playing at Bishop Twin Theatre
…
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’
Facts: The motto of the
film is “a new age begins.”
“Avengers: Age of Ultron” is
141 minutes long. The
director of this movie is
Joss Whedon. The writers
are Joss Whedon and Stan
Lee. “Avengers: Age of
Ultron” was filmed in
England, United Kingdom.
This movie made
$191,271,109 on its opening weekend. This film was
edited by Jeffrey Ford and
Lisa Lassek. This movie was
produced by Kevin Feige.
The soundtrack of the
movie is by Brian Tyler.
Fun Fact: Robert Downey
Jr. is also in “Sherlock
Bryce Lyons
CoLUMNIST
Holmes” with Jude Law.
Review: I liked
“Avengers: Age of Ultron”
because there were a lot of
new superheroes, such as
Quicksilver and Scarlet
Witch. I thought the movie
was also very funny. This
movie had a blend of action
and excitement. I also
thought the quality of the
movie was good because of
all the explosions. I think
Stan Lee did very good on
the character description of
the Avengers’ costumes and
super powers. In my opinion, “Avengers: Age of
Ultron” was a great sequel
because Joss Whedon
explained the origins of
some of the superheroes. I
was on the edge of my seat
the whole movie because of
all the intense action
scenes.
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 in the fourth
grade. I’m also a huge
movie buff.
Geek Girl
DC and Marvel try
attracting comic readers
You want to know what’s
really weird about our current decade? Despite how
mega-popular superhero
movies are, the comics on
which they are based are
struggling. The two biggest
comic publishers, DC and
Marvel, are trying to capitalize on their film and television success in order to
bring in a new generation of
readers.
How does a company pay
homage to both its past and
longtime fans while also
clearing the path for more
diverse titles in hopes of
bringing in new readers?
Marvel and DC think the
answer is a house-cleaning
disguised as a nostalgiasoaked company-wide event.
DC is currently winding
down its event,
“Convergence.” The miniseries and its special tie-ins
involve Telos, an A.I.
Superman villain Brainiac
created to watch over his
bottle cities (which are actually microcosms of different
eras, titles and/or realities).
Telos decides to enact
Braniac’s master plan, converging all the bottle cities
so their denizens can fight
to the death in order to survive.
If you have ever wanted
to see a gaggle of Supermen
and Superwomen go all
“Hunger Games” and beat
each other to death then
this is the series for you.
Actually, that scene doesn’t
last long; instead, the series
Jennifer eLLis
CoLUMNIST
focuses on a select group of
individuals trying to take
down the bad guy among all
the chaos. It’s all just an
excuse to cancel titles, bring
back certain dead or erased
(from continuity) characters
while erasing or killing a
completely different set of
characters, and provide fanservice to longtime readers.
I won’t lie; I enjoyed seeing
’70s-era Wonder Woman,
the ’80s era New Teen
Titans, and the ’90s’ Green
Lanterns (newbie Kyle
Rayner and mass murderer
Hal Jordan) again, not to
mention characters erased
by the last event,
“Flashpoint,” like Wally West
and family, Donna Troy and
Jesse Quick.
In execution, though, it’s
a confusing mess that won’t
even matter story-wise in
the long run. “Convergence”
will lead to another company-wide event, “Divergence,”
in the summer, which will
introduce several new titles
and creative teams. There
will be an increase of diversity both on the page and
behind the scenes. In case
you were wondering, diversity equals not full of white,
straight guys. Could this be
the answer to making
money in a changing world?
I’m not sure, but as a nondude (or woman, if you
will), I find it interesting
that this industry is finally
paying attention to me. I
hope it lasts, and that it
pays off creatively as well.
Long shot, I know.
As for Marvel’s plan, it
seems to involve bringing
back past series and storylines (like “Secret Wars,”
“House of M,” “Civil War”
and “Hulk World,” among
others) and retelling them
with a twist. The whole
thing seems like, “Hey, here
are all your favorite stories
but all different so we don’t
confuse any movie fans that
we entice to pick up a
comic.” This mercenary
approach wouldn’t bother
me if the end product were

Marvel and DC want to have
their cake and eat it too but
don’t really seem to care
that their cakes taste awful.

Ragtime Rebels perform
for Inyo students
UNLV marimba band
showcases tradition,
unique instruments
Special to The Inyo Register
Graduate students from the University of
Nevada, Las Vegas managed to turn up the heat
even more than the 95 degrees it was two
weeks ago in Shoshone, as the Ragtime Rebels
Marimba Band performed at a morning assembly at Death Valley High School on April 30 and
then again May 1 at Big Pine and Bishop high
schools.
Professor Tim Jones and his Percussion
Studies students made the drive from Las
Vegas to Inyo County to perform before students and faculty, playing a variety of songs
from different artists crossing various genres
and eras, including Michael Jackson, Journey
and Green Day – all of which the students
immediately recognized and responded enthusiastically.
Between each song, Professor Jones asked
and answered questions from the students
about the Marimba and other instruments in
the band including the steel kettle drums, the
cajón, snare and djembe drums. The hour-long
performances were sponsored by Inyo Council
for the Arts.
This is the second time that the UNLV
Marimba band has made the trek over from Las
Vegas in the past five years in an effort to bring
music into the lives of all Inyo County students.
The UNLV “Ragtime Rebels” Marimba Band
is an internationally renowned ensemble that
carries the ragtime and novelty band tradition
through the talented students of its program.
In addition to playing Ragtime classics, the
Ragtime Rebels perform classical works, traditional Mexican and Guatemalan tunes, arrangements and compositions by band members
and fun “pop” style music, depending on its
audience. The band was formed in 1989 by Dr.
Dean Gronemeier and has been co-directed
since 1999 by Dr. Jones. The Ragtime Rebels
perform frequently in Las Vegas venues and
have been featured artists in concerts throughout the United States, Mexico and Australia.

Buddy comedy bombs big time
‘Hot Pursuit’
“Hot Pursuit” is a witless
action comedy opening in
the enormous shadow of
“Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
Its appeal is based solely
on being the only new game
in town. Its box office is
going to drop off a cliff as
soon as it has fresh competition, which is fine because
it doesn’t deserve even the
mild success that it’s enjoying at the moment.
The film stars Reese
Witherspoon as Cooper, a
disgraced cop with a
chance at redemption. She’s
assigned to protect Daniella
Riva (Sofia Vergara), the
wife of a cartel snitch. The
Riva house is compromised,
the husband is killed, and
Cooper and Mrs. Riva have
to go on the run until they
can get her into proper protective custody. This is a
buddy/road movie, one
where the two leads don’t
like each other at first, but
they form a begrudging
friendship and then that
friendship is tested.
For a throwaway comedy, the film is surprisingly
heavy on plot. There are
two competing teams of
assassins after Cooper and
Riva. Allegiances keep flipflopping around. And Riva
lies so much we wonder if
she’s ever told the truth.
For all I know she isn’t even
Columbian, she’s
Scandinavian.
What can I say about the
humor in the film that isn’t
in the trailer? Riva is loudmouthed and materialistic,
Cooper is by-the-book and
socially awkward (and
short, as we’re relentlessly
reminded). They bicker a
lot without developing any
real rapport, they only end
up as friends because the
thing about “Hot Pursuit”
that I’ve said about most of
the painful comedies I’ve
seen lately: I laughed just
barely enough to keep from
absolutely despising it, but
there’s no denying that it’s
a bomb.

plot requires them to save
each other. They outsmart
the male bad guys by being
only moderately dumb
while the men are astoundingly dumb. Here’s how
dumb the average male is
in this movie: Cooper is
able to sneak into girl’s
birthday party by convincing security that she’s
Justin Bieber. It’s a mildly
funny, though cheap laugh
to see Witherspoon dressed
up as Bieber, and if I were
one of the guards I would
compliment her on her costume, but there’s no way
she’s passing for the real
thing.
Actually, the one bit in
“Hot Pursuit” that does
work is one that isn’t in the
trailer. It’s the opening
montage of Cooper growing
up riding in the back of her
father’s police cruiser. The
sequence is funny and
sweet and I wish the rest of
the film had as much heart.
The bumbling Cooper that
we see in the rest of the
film is practically an entirely different character,
played by Witherspoon in
an annoying performance
that is sure to make
Academy voters rethink her
Oscar. I’ll say the same
Get the news. Get the story.

A Note on Ratings
I would like to take this
opportunity to clarify my
rating system. There is no
need to convert the ratings
to percentages and then
convert the percentages to
academic letter grades. For
example, although One and
a Half Popcorn Boxes is 30
percent of Five Boxes, that
doesn’t mean I’m flunking
“Hot Pursuit” at 30 percent.
For example:
Five boxes – A+
Four boxes– A
Three boxes – B
Two boxes – C
One box – D
Zero boxes (which I’ve
never used, as I’m saving it
for something truly vile) – F
At One and a Half Boxes,
“Hot Pursuit” straddles the
line between C and D. Call
it a C-. It’s just above the
Dreadful D’s, but hardly a
source of pride.
“Hot Pursuit” is rated
PG-13 for sexual content,
violence, language and
some drug material. Its running time is 84 minutes.
