The American Lung Association released its State of Tobacco Control 2016 report for California on Feb. 3, which grades cities and counties on local policies that research shows will reduce smoking rates, according to the American Lung Association. By reducing tobacco use tobacco-related death and disease also are reduced. While there is uneven policy progress across the state, the Eastern Sierra counties have some catching up to do, according to the agency. The local grades are based on standardized statewide criteria and were awarded in three categories, plus a new bonus points fourth category: • Smoke-free Outdoor Air; • Smoke free Housing; • Reducing sales of tobacco products; and, • Addressing emerging See policy E Page 3 Bobby Jennings, an employee for 30 years at the Jack in the Box store in Bishop, describes his duties as a maintenance worker for the restaurant while standing out- side the restaurant at the end of his shift Monday morning. Photo by Mike Chacanaca Area man has popped up at Jack in the Box for 30 years Bishop resident Bobby Jennings honored for his dedication for local restaurant By Kristina Blüm Register Staff In 1986, Bobby Jennings began working as a maintenance man for Jack in the Box in Bishop. Thirty years later, Bobby still is there, and he is one of the longest serving Jack in the Box employees in the country. The Bishop Jack in the Box recently awarded Jennings with a gift certificate to thank him for his many years of service. Jennings, now 63, shows up for work at 5 a.m. every morning. “He never calls in sick, he is always on time, and he never misses a shift,” Jose Corres, Bishop Jack in the Box general manager said, “He’s the oldest employee here. Sometimes it is raining or snowing, but he always rides his bike to work and shows up anyway.” In addition to general property maintenance, Jennings can often be found cleaning the restaurant’s windows, switching the menu signs, cleaning the drive-thru, and making sure the restaurant’s dining room and restrooms are in tip-top shape. “I show up before anyone else gets here,” Jennings said. “I just always try to be on time, and do what I am supposed to do.” Jennings is a lifelong County could seek more time to evaluate program Supervisors to consider letter supporting possible expansion of Adventure Trails Bishop resident. When he is not working at Jack in the Box, he works as a landscaper for local businesses and residences. He has been landscaping for 40 years. But he said it is not as easy to get down on his knees as it once was. Jack in the Box Inc. has 2,200 restaurants throughout 21 different states in the United States, as well as Canada. It is one of the nation’s largest hamburger chains, and was the nation’s first major drive-thru chain. Jack in the Box introduced the industry’s first breakfast sandwich in 1969, and the first “portable” salad in 1982. The chain’s tacos are one of their most popular menu items, serving an estimated 554 million tacos per year. The Bishop Jack in the Box restaurant was opened in the mid to late 1960s. Looking back over his career with Jack in the Box, Jennings said the secret to keeping a job for a long time is to, “Be on time, and be sure you do what you were trained to do.” Call about armed robbery turns out to be hoax A male caller triggered a two-county search for an armed robber Register Staff By Kristina Blüm Register Staff Laura Smith, Bishop Mayor INDEX Calendar............ 9 Classifieds........ 10 Editorial.............. 4 Faces/Places....... 8 Man on Street.....6 Sports................. 14 TV listings........... 6 Weather............. 2 QUOTE OF THE DAY “History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.” – John F. Kennedy Copyright ©2016 Horizon Publications, Inc. Vol. 146, Issue 17 The Adventure Trails Pilot Project will once again appear before the Inyo County Board of Supervisors. During its meeting today, the board will be voting about whether or not to send a letter to California state Sen. Tom Baryhill in support of legislation that would extend the allotted amount of time for the Adventure Trails pilot program in Inyo County. The state granted Inyo County five years to begin and test an Adventure Trails pilot program. As it currently stands, the Adventure Trails Program will end on Jan. 1, 2017. The proposed letter explains, “there simply is not enough time to generate enough on-the-ground data to evaluate the pros and cons of the current Adventure Trails Program and without an extension, there never will be.” The proposed letter states county officials would prefer to see the provisions of the Adventure Trails Project made permanent. However, in order to avoid the prospect of the program ending next year, the applicants have expressed interest in seeing the pilot program extended. The county will consider requesting the new expiration for the Adventure Trails pilot project to be at the end of 2020. In January of 2015, supervisors approved the designation of seven different combined use off-highway vehicle routes throughout the county. Of these seven routes, only three have been officially opened. The three routes currently open for use are from Independence to Mazourka Canyon, Boulder Creek RV resort in Lone Pine to Horseshoe Meadows, and Laws to the Poleta OHV use area North of Bishop. The remaining four routes, which would cross Los Angeles Department of Water and Power land, start from Brown’s Town campground in Bishop, and the Pleasant Valley Reservoir area. Thus far, the LA Department of Water and Power has refused to open these routes for combined use, however according See county E Page 3 Some jokester caused a lot of trouble for law enforcement up and down the Eastern Sierra on Sunday when the male suspect made a desperate-sounding call about an armed robbery in progress at a Shell gas station presumed to be in Mono County. The call turned out to be a hoax; after a long search in both Mono and Inyo counties, no suspect nor victim was found, leading the Mono County Sheriff’s Department to start a search for the perpetrator of the call. Calling in a false emergency is a crime and the time-consuming response that the call triggered left law enforcement less available for a real emergency, according to Mono County Sheriff Ingrid Braun. “Falsely reporting an emergency takes law enforcement officers away from other enforcement activities and endangers the lives of the public and first responders,” she said in a news release. “We do not take this crime lightly and intend to pursue criminal charges against the person or persons responsible.” The sheriff’s department is seeking any information about the hoax. The call came at 9:38 p.m., when Mono County Sheriff’s dispatch received a radio transmission of a robbery in progress at a Shell Station, presumed to be in Mono County. The person broadcasting stated he had one suspect at gunpoint. However, he did not identify himself, nor did he respond to repeated requests from sheriff’s dispatch for identification and more detailed information. Based upon the background noise, the person was with a group or at a party setting. This radio transmission was broadcast on the public safety radio system on a restricted access channel. Fearing that a first responder, either on or off duty, was in a life-threatening situation, law enforcement officers were dispatched to gas stations throughout Mono County, Mammoth Lakes and into Inyo County and Bishop. Deputies and officers checked every Shell gas station and other gas stations See report E Page 3 The Inyo Register 2 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2016 OBITUARY NOTICES KEITH DAVID DREW 1926 - 2016 Keith David Drew was born on May 30, 1926, to Claude and Elodie Meysan Drew in Lone Pine, Calif., under the towering shadow of his beloved Mt. Whitney, Alabama Hills and Meysan Lakes. We lost him peacefully in his sleep on Jan. 7, 2016, in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. He was 89. Keith grew up in the Owens Valley and lived there his entire life. He graduated from Lone Pine High School in 1944. After High School Keith joined the United States Navy and proudly served from Sept. 2, 1944, to June 27, 1946, as a gunner’s mate, third class. He served on the USS Tawasa (ATF-22), in the South Pacific, including Espiritu Santo and the New Hebrides. He was awarded the World War II Victory Medal. When Keith was discharged from the Navy he returned to Lone Pine. There he met and married the love of his life, Mayme Browne. Keith and Mayme were married May 15, 1948. They have two daughters, Denise and Deb. Keith went to work for the Department of Water and Power in 1951 and worked in maintenance, construction and supervising crews on the Aqueduct. He retired from the Department of Water and Power after 34 years. He served as the post commander of the Lone Pine Turner Barnes VFW Post 8036 from 1956-1957. He remained a life-time member. Keith’s family were pioneers in the Owens Valley. His great-grandparents, the Meysans, immigrated from France to Columbia, Calif., in 1869. They traveled over the Sonora Pass in a covered wagon and settled in Lone Pine. The Meysan store is still standing on main street. His great-grandparents, the Hancock’s, came from Utah and settled in Lone Pine in the late 1800s. The Drews were cattle ranchers and came from Arizona to Lone Pine in the early 1900s. Keith was an avid outdoors man. He hunted deer with his bow and rifle, loved to hunt birds and to fish. He loved to hike and camp in the Sierras. He especially liked hiking the Mt. Whitney trail and up to Meysan Lakes that were named after his grandfather, Felix Meysan. Keith loved to ski at Mammoth Mountain with his children and grandson. He was proud of his family and a great teacher. He loved to travel in their motor home, touring the United States including several trips to Tennessee, where Mayme was born. They visited family and did a lot of genealogy research along the way. Keith liked music, especially any march music that he could play on his trumpet. He loved to sing around his grandfather’s player piano with the family. Keith was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Elodie (Meysan) Drew; brother and sister-in-law, Claude V. and Lurlene (Browne) Drew; and sister Mary (Drew) Aseltine.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2016 3 Changes to Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plans Beneficiaries should know their rights Many Medicare beneficiaries have changed their Part D prescription drug plan (PDP) for 2016, will change their plan, or might hear from their plans that changes have been made. All PDPs change their formularies (the list of drugs they cover) each year, or there may be changes in the utilization management and restrictions the plan imposes. (Utilization management is the evaluation of the medical necessity, appropriateness, and efficiency of drugs.) You may find that a drug you have been taking is no longer covered by your new PDP, or there are new limitations to how they may be prescribed, such as the amount allowed. Another change may require “step therapy,” with your plan telling you that you must try drug “A” before you can get drug “B.” Or, the plan may require prior authorization from your doctor before it will cover the prescription. To ease the transition of such changes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have transition rules that allow people to con- tinue existing medications for a limited time. These rules apply to stand-alone prescription drug plans, and to Medicare-Medicaid managed care plans. Within the first 90 days of membership, plans must provide a one-time 30-day fill of an ongoing medication (unless a lesser amount is prescribed). Plans must waive utilization management rules during the transition. If the plan limits dosage, for example to 14 pills at a time, the plan must provide refills until the 30 day supply is met. For residents of a long term care facility, prescription drug plans must provide a 31 day transition fill, and must honor multiple 31 day fills during the first 90 days. The transition rules do not apply to Part D excluded drugs, new prescriptions, multiple prescriptions for the same drug, or to drugs that have been removed from a plan’s formulary because of FDA safety recalls, such as quantity limits based on FDA recommendations, or prohibition of early refills. CMS requires that plans provide you with a written notice explaining that the transition supply is temporary, and must include instructions for identifying Kathy Kelty Columnist appropriate substitutes. They must provide notice of your right to request a formulary exception and instructions on how to file an exception request. The notice must be mailed to you within three days of the temporary fill for each affected drug. If you get to the pharmacy and a plan cannot determine whether a new prescription is for ongoing drug therapy, the plan must assume the prescription is ongoing and apply these transition policies. If you get a transition notice concerning your drugs, talk to your doctor as soon as possible, to get required preauthorization, or to see if another drug on the plan’s formulary would treat the con- dition as well. If not, you can request a formulary exception, asking the plan to cover the drug due to medical necessity. Your doctor should contact the plan by phone, and usually written documentation is needed. The doctor should detail why the drug is needed as prescribed, and why no other drug will work the same. The PDP must provide a response to the formulary exception request within 72 hours, or within 24 hours for an expedited request. If approved, you should get the drug under those terms for the rest of the enrollment year, and should not have to ask again for an exception of the same drug. If denied, the plan must send a letter detailing the reasons for denial. The letter must contain information about the beneficiary’s rights to submit a request for reconsideration within 60 days of the denial notice. The plan must respond within seven days, or within 72 hours for an expedited request. If denied, you can continue the appeals process. The PDP may need to make arrangements to continue providing necessary drugs via an extension of the transition period, on a case-by-case basis, if the exception request or appeal has not been processed by the end of the transition period. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pays close attention to drug plans to ensure they follow transition policy. You should not have a lapse in getting your medication, either at the beginning of the year or when you change plans during the year, or if you live in a long term care facility. Please contact HICAP if you have any questions or need assistance with transition fills, exception requests, or appeals. nesses. While it was legal, it did raise some concerns with city officials and residents as to where they would be allowed to locate, age restrictions and signage, among other issues.

When the Adventure Trails Project was set in motion, the county set up a website to gather input about the three routes in question, inyoltc. org. The Adventure Trails project in Inyo County was the result of tremendous cooperation as community members from several different perspectives contributed to the final legislation. The proposed letter states, “our board approved a compromise plan based on broad community input.” The amount of time that this took, however, limited the amount of time for the actual pilot project to be put into effect. The proposed letter would include support for expanding the provisions of the legislation to include similar pilot programs in Mono and Sierra counties, both of which have shown interest in starting their own off-highway vehicle programs. According to the drafted letter, which is being proposed by District Five Supervisor Matt Kingsley, the Adventure Trail Pilot Program in Inyo County has generated the attention, enthusiasm and anticipation from rural counties throughout the state.

According to the report, 80 cities and counties passed tobacco control policies in 2016 and 11 cities improved their grade from an F to an A in at least one policy category. Such was not the case in Bishop and in unincorporated Inyo County, according to the report card, which gave both “Fs.” Bishop Mayor Laura Smith said Monday she was of the belief that existing state laws already covered the issues raised by the American Lung Association. “I haven’t heard any complaints in Bishop,” Smith said regarding residents or visitors being exposed to second-hand smoke. Mahannah said tobaccorelated polices adopted in communities is part of the total effort to bring about tobaccouse cessation. “This isn’t about black balling anyone,” Manahan said. “When you create policies that promote tobacco-use cessation, it ensures everyone is healthy.” She said it goes beyond second-hand smoke to the cost tobacco use has on health care, lost productivity and the impact it has on families who lose loved ones because of tobacco use. Inyo County District Two Supervisor and Chairman of the Board Jeff Griffiths said Monday that the county has “dedicated and hard-working staff at Health and Human Services.” “We always strive to protect public health while maintaining people’s rights,” Griffiths said. Smith said this is an issue she would like to see further discussed by the Bishop City Council. “Obviously, if we can keep people from becoming smokers, all the better,” Smith said.

Fax (760) 873-3591 What ‘no new wells’ means By Craig Patten The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) plans to drill new groundwater production wells near Bishop and Big Pine. You might think this isn’t a big deal; it can’t be that much water. Actually, it’s a very big deal. These wells, which pump water from the aquifer, would have an estimated yearly pumping capacity to more than fill South Lake. There are growing numbers of Owens Valley residents and organizations who think these new wells are a bad idea. “No New Wells” has been the subject of recent articles in local media. LADWP notified Inyo County in March 2015 of their right under the 1991 Long-Term Water Agreement (LTWA) to construct four new groundwater production wells. Additionally, LADWP significantly modified two long unused wells in the Five Bridges area and reclassified them as new wells, despite a 1999 revegetation plan agreement to permanently shut the wells down. The LTWA provides guidance and a process for LADWP to drill new wells. They’ve constructed 18 new and replacement wells since 1991, when the LTWA was signed by Inyo County and the city of Los Angeles and became a legally enforceable document. The “No New Wells” reaction by local citizens is understandable. There has long been mistrust of LADWP by many who live here, and who view Los Angeles as far from altruistic when it comes to Owens Valley water, which provides on average one-third to half the water needed by the second largest city in the US. It’s a simple view by many – what Los Angeles gains, Owens Valley loses. We know the export of water has damaged the environment, negatively affected ranching and agriculture, and impacted the recreational enjoyment of the natural, high desert geography of the Owens Valley. The new wells issue is complex, and rooted in history going back over 100 years when LA bought a lot of Owens Valley land, built the aqueduct, and in 1913 started sending many millions of gallons of water a day to Los Angeles. With groundwater pumping by LADWP unchecked, eventually bad things happened to the land, and there were fights and lawsuits. In 1991, this culminated in the Long-Term Water Agreement to provide a Top of the Morning Guest Columnist long-term groundwater management plan. In fact, the LTWA provides controls and monitoring of groundwater production by LADWP. The LTWA, and a 1991 Environment Impact Report (EIR), also set the stage for mitigation projects to repair the serious, sometimes disastrous, impact to the vegetation and wildlife of the Owens Valley that resulted from the pumping of groundwater by Los Angeles. To mitigate for a range of negative impacts since 1970, due to abandonment of irrigated agriculture and groundwater pumping, LADWP is legally obligated to implement a number of mitigation projects throughout the Owens Valley. The majority of these mitigation projects are described in the LTWA, the 1991 EIR, and the 1997 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which resolved conflicts over the 1991 EIR. The most recent status of the mitigation projects is found in the Inyo County Water Department 20142015 Annual Report (inyowater.org). Few projects are complete, some have not started, and the majority are listed as “implemented and ongoing.” Many of the projects are noted as receiving an insufficient allocation of water by LADWP to repair the damage. Some seem to be simply ignored. Despite many decades to complete these mitigation projects, LADWP has failed to meet the spirit and intent of the mandated projects – to right the wrongs done to Owens Valley after 103 years of exporting water to Los Angeles. The scale of this failure has served to increase the mistrust of LADWP by Owens Valley residents. In the 25 years since the LTWA began guiding groundwater management much has changed, and the Owens Valley is facing a possible fifth year of the most severe drought in recorded history. The California Department of Water Resources groundwater level map indicates Owens Valley groundwater level has decreased as much as10 feet over the past five years. According to LADWP’s Annual Owens Valley Report for the years 2010 through 2014, three of them in severe drought conditions, Los Angeles pumped a yearly average 80,000 acre-feet of Owens Valley groundwater. To put this in perspective, that’s an average of 71 million gallons of groundwater every day. The planned new wells will have a combined capacity to add 16,000 acre-feet to LA’s groundwater pumping ability. The LADWP Annual Reports assert that no groundwater pumped from Owens Valley is exported to LA. But rather, the groundwater gets used in Owens Valley for things such as Owens Lake dust mitigation, irrigation/stockwater, and water for mitigation projects. Of note, water supplied for mitigation averages less than 10,000 acre-feet per year. Yet, the “Wells” section of LADWP’s Northern District Daily Report for Feb. 3, 2016, (LA Aqueduct website) shows 41 million gallons pumped for something titled “Aqueduct.” Owens Valley remains in a severe drought, and now LADWP invokes the LTWA and 1991 EIR as their presumptive right to drill these new wells. Yet, at the same time, LADWP has failed to successfully meet their obligations mandated by the very same LTWA and 1991 EIR, to mitigate and repair damage to the Owens Valley due to groundwater pumping. LA should not have it both ways. Unless and until LADWP makes substantially greater progress in successfully completing the mandated mitigation project goals, the construction of new wells should not move forward. So, what does “No New Wells” mean? It means being informed about the real impact of new LADWP wells. It means letting your elected officials know your opinion. And, it means exercising your opinion when you vote. There is opportunity to influence the outcome of this issue. Let your voice be heard. To do nothing will result in continued environmental decline of the Owens Valley, and ensure even more water goes south to Los Angeles. Owens Valley water matters. Let’s not mistakenly presume these new LADWP wells are a done deal. They are not. (Craig Patten lives in Bishop, and is a member of the Inyo County Water Commission.) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A most remarkable press release from LADWP On Jan. 12, DWP issued a press release. What DWP wrote: DWP announced it had modified wells “W385” and “W386” in the Five Bridges area, changed their names to “385R” and “386R,” and would conduct an analysis of environmental impacts of the wells under the California Environmental Quality Act prior to their “activation.” What DWP omitted: The Inyo-LA Standing Committee agreed in 1999 that these two wells would be “permanently shut down” as part of a mitigation plan for the devastation they had caused. Apparently DWP believes changing the names of the wells means it is no longer bound by its agreement that the wells will be “permanently shut down.” If DWP pumps a single drop from these wells, I suggest Inyo County immediately rename Owens River, “OwensR” River, and Bishop Creek, “BishopR” Creek. Using DWP’s own logic, all DWP’s water rights would be null and void and could be claimed by the historic senior water rights holders: the Owens Valley Paiute. What DWP wrote: “The mitigation measure (for the devastation caused by the two wells) required Inyo County and LADWP to jointly develop and implement a revegetation plan for 300 acres identified in the report. This mitigation effort is ongoing.” What DWP omitted: DWP hasn’t adhered to the mitigation plan. As a result, a population of the State Listed rare plant Sidalcea covillei (Owens Valley Checkerbloom) has been extirpated, as documented by the Inyo County Water Department. What DWP wrote: Jim Yannotta stated the pumps would be used, in part, to provide “water for export to Los Angeles” (italics added). What DWP omitted: For years the DWP party line has been that DWP doesn’t export groundwater, notwithstanding some pumps which pump straight into the Aqueduct. In fact, in 2003 DWP spokesman Chris Plakos asserted, “no groundwater has been ‘exported’ from the valley for about the last 15 years.” DWP is unlikely to ever again admit the truth that it exports groundwater, so this press release is historic. Please commemorate the occasion by contacting your Inyo County supervisor and telling him the county should not agree to the pumping of a single drop from wells that have been “permanently shut down” (regardless of what they are named). Daniel Pritchett Bishop Big Pine corrections, clarifications I would like to take this opportunity to correct two items published recently in your newspaper. The first item was reported in the Jan. 21 edition in the article about the Bishop Unified School District reviewing a concealed weapons policy. In the article, it was erroneously reported that Big Pine Unified School District had not addressed this issue. In fact, our superintendent, who is regularly and routinely proactive in bringing issues concerning the safety and well-being of our students and staff to our attention, placed this item on the agenda for our board of trustees meeting held on Nov. 23, 2015. Our board acted on the issue, voting to not allow waivers for concealed weapons. While I have spoken to your editor and provided a copy of our minutes from that meeting, I wanted to ensure that our parents, children and community were provided this corrected information as soon as possible. The second item requiring correction was published in Saturday’s paper where your staff reported about a nail-biting basketball game between Big Pine and Lee Vining, which resulted in a win for Big Pine during extended play. We truly appreciate your commitment to reporting local sports events and the content of the article was well done. However, the title and captions under the photos referred to our team as the Eagles. While we respect and love our friends to the south, we are the other Pine – Big Pine and we are Warriors!!

Andrew Clark, which the paper called “truly the pioneer of better things in this valley.” one of the earliest arrivals to the owens Valley, Clark and several others organized the Baptist church – “the first religious body in California east of the sierras (sic),” according to the article.

Everyone loves a winner, except for the runner-up of course. Even more to the point, a lot of us want to win so badly we will do whatever it takes to do so. They say all is fair in love and war, but this is only the half of it. In anything where there are winners and losers everything is fair if you want to win bad enough. We like to think otherwise, tell ourselves cheating is morally reprehensible and that cheaters never prosper – but most of us know better. It isn’t a matter of how you play the game: it’s whether you win or lose. The competitive nature of most human endeavors is most overt and formalized in sports. While some athletic endeavors lend themselves to the ethic of personal best, and this takes the onus off of being second best, winning is always the bottom line in sports because it isn’t just a matter of besting one’s opponents, it’s about desire. Talent only gets one half way to the finish line. The occasional Usain Bolt or Babe Ruth notwithstanding, the competition is usually evenly enough matched in most sports that the winner is the competitor or team with the strongest desire to win. This belief allows us to give those who employ unfair means at least some slack and the benefit of the doubt. Cheaters might get their Carne Lowgren ColUmnist medals taken away, but they still get the asterisk – and you know who they are. Lance Armstrong may have been stripped of his seven Tour de France wins, but unless you are a serious bike geek you don’t know who got the medals because… well they didn’t exactly win, did they? The desire to inject fairness into competitive endeavors is a human convention that contravenes Darwinian nature. The fact that there are only so many ecological niches organically limits the number of occupants in the winner’s circle – and in the natural world losing means death and extinction. There are a variety of adaptive strategies to get around this, but the winner’s circle is always occupied by whoever was most successful in passing its genetic baton on to viable descendants. This is equally true in human competitive endeavors. There are a lot of ways to win. Believing ourselves to be moral we like to think we can limit these to fair means – fair at least in terms of being known and agreed upon. We call these formalized constraints “rules,” and we design our competitions around them because it makes them at least seem fair and competitive in the sense that they clearly delineate the winners from the losers. But it also puts creativity into play because the desire to win demands it when talent alone isn’t sufficient. Most of us like the artful workaround – cheating if less than artful – and we not only forgive but admire the competitor that is clever enough to come up with it. This is especially true in love and war, where playing by the so-called rules is often a losing strategy. But it has become increasingly acceptable in all other competitive human endeavors, like business, politics and sport. While our culture strives mightily to take the sting out of being second best by declaring that everyone is a winner and the victory is in the striving, not the win, the winners have always set the terms. Knowing in our hearts that life isn’t fair, most of us consciously or otherwise regard losing as a failure of will and spirit – even if the winner cheated. No one wants to be a loser. At the end of the day after tomorrow how one played the game fades from the public memory, but the victory is never forgotten. (Carne is not competitive by nature, but he’d much rather win than lose.)

The Inyo Register TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2016 9 Give bullying family members opportunity to change Dear Annie: I am the youngest sister of 10 siblings. Over the years, five siblings have died. You’d think we would try to be closer after such awful losses. So when does the bullying stop? I have tried to be an upstanding sister and aunt, but no matter how much I contribute my money, time and empathy, they think it’s OK to belittle me and encourage their kids and friends to do the same. I never talk trash about my sisters. Actually, I speak very highly of them in front of and behind their backs. They do not return the favor. I’ve put up with the “little sister syndrome” for decades and am quite tired of it. It’s worse when they get their friends to gang up on me. At last year’s Christmas party, my sister’s best friend said I was the “screw up” of the family in front of everyone and not one person stood up for me. My sister’s mother-inlaw snickered at some other nasty comment someone made about me. I have decided to limit my contact with my siblings and avoid them altogether on holidays, since I become everyone’s target. They don’t think their actions are wrong or hurtful. I’m done with being the nice sister just to be thrown under the bus and run over repeatedly. They say I’m “too sensitive,” but if someone treated them this way, they would fall to pieces. I thought time and maturity would soften this behavior, but it’s just gotten worse. Any suggestions? – Sister in Situation Dear Sister: It’s too bad your siblings haven’t managed to grow up, but not everyone does. This is the family dynamic they are accustomed to, and not even the deaths of five of you have altered it. Ten children is a lot, and in some families, COMMUNITY CALENDAR Private businesses or groups holding events for profit are not eligible to use this section.

However, the harmony between Venus and Jupiter suggests that hearts won’t go where they don’t want to go. Furthermore, hearts have sneaky ways of getting where they do want to go, regardless of what the mind dictates. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Focus exclusively on positive, desirable options. If it’s not a win for everyone involve it’s not good enough for you, either. This bold approach will eventually lead to your promotion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sign up. Volunteer. Say yes. It doesn’t matter if you know how to approach the task at hand, as you’ll learn along the way. Your attitude makes you a perfect fit for anything that sounds fun to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While most compliments are nice to hear, they are not all created equal. Someone will elevate verbal admiration to an art form. You’ll love how it feels to receive these kudos, and you’ll learn to give as such. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re wondering what keeps someone coming back and back and back to you, it’s all that fresh excitement, kindness and tenderness you give. You never give your attention the same way twice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll appreciate the ones who keep their correspondence short and to the point. You tend to accept calls and visits from this type because you know it’s not going to drag out. You’d do well to emulate this succinct style going forward. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Unlike zoo animals, people often get to design their own cages. It sometimes takes them a while to realize this, though. You have more freedom than you think. Current boundaries are either illusory, self-imposed, or both. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your soul is searching for someone to nur- Holiday Mathis ture. At the same time, it scares you to take on too much responsibility – that’s because you know deep down that you’ll give yourself fully to it! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many want to be in your “club,” whatever that means to you these days. For some it’s a professional situation. One warning: Make sure the ones you take on are really ready and qualified to play at your level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The negative emotions needn’t be shoved aside; nor should they be obsessed over. Acknowledge these feelings as natural and acceptable. They will flow through you and dissipate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Inaction frustrates you. What are they waiting for? The truth is, they are waiting for an invitation from someone like you. Go on now; throw the doors open and encourage them to walk through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You see right through the sad people putting on a good face. You also see through marketing ploys, ulterior motives and anyone trying to achieve an end through the act of pretending. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone may be pressuring you, but don’t rush to make a choice. When you do make up your mind, you’ll strongly lean toward the option that gives you the most space and possibly an escape hatch. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 9). You express yourself in new ways, and others will have a better understanding and healthier respect for you because of this. You’ll gain fans, too. Carve out time to learn a new skill in March; you’ll profit from this in April. July sends your heart on a mission. September brings you and a loved one closer than ever. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 2, 22, 38 and 15. FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Scissors, shoes, black or white objects and mirrors are among the items on the “forbidden” list for gift-giving on the Chinese New Year. Consider yourself informed now, as you head into the exciting year of the Red Monkey, aka the Fire Monkey, characterized by high-energy, zesty intellectual pursuits and improbable leaps forward. Just as monkeys are among the cleverest and most restless members of the animal kingdom, the start of this cycle features a nearly agitated tone as new levels of curiosity call us into action. First of all, we’re trying to work off the tension of a stressfully aspected sun and Mars. The Aquarius new moon on Monday only causes us to think more into it than we probably need to. There will be a temptation to bring fresh technology into the mix, and it might work well, though it also might be a case of complicating things unnecessarily. Mardi Gras on Tuesday and Ash Wednesday both happen under an auspicious arrangement of Venus and Jupiter, boding well for relationships, new friendships and people seeking romantic commitment. Feb. 9 and 10 are also the best days for purchasing Valentine’s Day presents, as intuition will be hot, artistic and creative energy will be flowing, and hearts will be open.

This could be how things began, but it no longer matters. You get to decide how to handle them now. Try talking to each sibling individually. Say that you love and value them, but you are tired of being mocked and hurt. Ask them to be more aware of the way they treat you, so that your remaining years together can be happy and loving. Give them the opportunity to change. But if they are unwilling to work on this, it makes sense for you to see less of them. Dear Annie: I think your response to “Confused and Torn” was perfect. She said her boyfriend thought she should put her 15-year-old Pomeranian, “Clover,” to sleep because the dog was in constant pain and not likely to improve. I’ve had to put several pets to sleep because of old age and it’s always a she would like Clover’s ashes to be put in the coffin with her. In that way, the little dog will be with her forever.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 175 S 3RD ST, BISHOP, CA 93514-3516 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an Ò AS ISÓ condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $181,816.68 (Estimated) as of 02/19/2016. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551-4753. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: MARCH 11, 2016 Time: 9:00 A.M. , DEPT. 1 ADDRESS OF COURT: SUPERIOR COURT COUNTY OF INYO 168 N.

Photo by Mike Chacanaca Lady Warriors secure league championship with win over Trona By Register Staff The Big Pine Lady Warriors traveled to Trona Friday night knowing that a victory would clinch the Hi-Lo League championship, which the Lady Warriors did in resounding fashion by playing great team defense. After leading by only 3 after the first period, the Lady Warriors put 18 points on the board during the second period. Six Lady Warriors scored at least 2 points in the quarter, but probably the most disheartening to Trona was a deep 3 pointer by Gena Lewis near the end of the period. In the first half, Lauren Simpson led the team with 9 points. In the third period Big Pine defense only allowed two free throws to Trona and Kaylee Simpson’s play on the offensive boards, scoring 4 points, helped build Big Pine’s lead to 21 points after three periods. The fourth period was much the same as the third with Big Pine scoring 11 points to Trona’s 2. The Lady Warriors closed out the game with a 30 point margin, with a final score of 47-17.
