WikipediaCourier Night Sky

The Kern Valley expe-rienced a “once in a bluemoon” in night sky thisweek. A blue moon is anextra full moon thatappears in a subdivisionof a year, either the thirdof four full moons in aseason or, recently, a sec-ond full moon in a monthof the common calendar.Metaphorically, a “bluemoon” is a rare event, asin the expression “oncein a blue moon.”

The phrase has noth-ing to do with the actualcolor of the moon,although a literal “bluemoon” (the moonappearing with a tinge of

Oncein ablue

moon

blue) may occur in cer-tain atmospheric condi-tions; e.g., when volcaniceruptions or exceptional-ly large fires leave parti-cles in the atmosphere.

The term “blue moon”is usually used nowadaysto describe a second fullmoon in a single solarcalendar month, whichhappens every two tothree years (seven timesin the Metonic cycle of 19years).

Using the MaineFarmers” Almanac defi-nition of blue moon(meaning the third fullmoon in a season of fourfull moons, and wherethe seasons are markedby equal three-monthintervals between sol-stices and equinoxes asopposed to calendarquarters), blue moonshave occurred or willoccur on:

“It’s what the valley reads”

See Calendar, Page 6

my source, was sitting on his beau-tiful rock porch overlooking theriver and its striking landscape.

Eventually the dam was builtand water started to rise. After afew months, the owner could seethat the river seemed closer. And itwas. In fact, it had become somuch wider, it was no longer ariver but was, in fact, a growinglake. As he sat there and themonths passed he could see theencroaching water, but was stillconvinced that his home wasabove the high waterline andwould be spared inundation.

He checked the dam and readreports that told what the acre feetof the water could be but still was

sure that hishome was safe.Then one day henoticed watercreeping up tohis porch, andbecause of avery wet winterthe lake was fill-

ing faster! Water crept up his steps, onto

the porch and into the front roomand soon all the rooms. It raisedhigher and higher and finally cov-ered the roof. It didn’t stop thereand eventually crested about 10feet above his roof line. The foun-dation and beautiful rock porch arestill there. The lake view is gone,maybe never to rise that highagain. But the ghost of the “OldRock House” still haunts the ruinsand he can be heard wailing late atnight the eerie words, “It will neverrise that high!” Fact or fable? Youdecide.

Rod MiddleworthCourier Columnist

When hikingaround the oldKernville townsite, I noticed arock foundationwhich was once ahome with abeautiful rockporch, at one timeoverlooking theKern River.

I was curious about the storybehind this relic of Kernville’s past.No one I talked to knew the exactstory. I’ve heard several differentstories and the one I like best is theone I amretelling intoday’s column.(I’ve noticedover the yearsthat when youdon’t know thereal story, oftena manufacturedone appears and eventuallybecomes fact, or remains fiction.)

The owner/builder of this housestarted building his home whereyou see the ruins now. Early on inits construction, he was told thatone day in the next few years adam was to be built and his homesite would be under water.

“Poppycock,” he said. “I’m on the side of a hill and the

water will never get any closerthan a few hundred feet.”

Many tried to reason with himand failed. He continued to build.He finished the house and soon hisgreatest enjoyment, according to

I usually enjoydriving the KernCanyon, especiallywhen there’s no oneelse around - noslow folks who don’tknow about usingthe turn-outs infront of me, or guyscoming up from behind, who thinkthey are competing on a Grand Prixcourse, flashing their lights, honkingtheir horns and displaying their rightturn signals. And in spite of the soliddouble yellow lines, I also must admitto - when it’s totally safe, of course -straightening out the curves a bit.

In any case, however much I enjoythe challenge of driving the canyon,when I am finished with the curvesand either get to the four-lane comingup the canyon, or the straight, flatroad at the bottom, I am a littlerelieved to be done with the squiggles.

I think I can identify a little bit withthe ideas of John the Baptizer in thewilderness, when he quoted theprophet, Isaiah: “Make ready the wayof the Lord, Make His paths straight.Every ravine shall be filled up, Andevery mountain and hill shall bebrought low; And the crooked shall

Making the crooked straightbecome straight, And the rough roadssmooth; And all flesh shall see the sal-vation of God" (Luke 3:4-6, NAS).

The “road” between God and peo-ple, needed some - no, lots of - work!Because of His holiness and His zero-tolerance-level for disobedience andrebelliousness, God was repulsed byHis fallen, sinful, human creatures. Butthe “salvation of God” was about to berevealed.

Great relief came to Lake Isabellafolks when the new four-lane freewayreplaced the last section of the oldKern Canyon Road a few years ago.Similarly, Jesus, of Whom John theBaptizer said, “Behold the Lamb ofGod, Who takes away the sins of theworld,” was to become the Road toGod for all people, replacing theimpassible chasm that separated themfrom God. That’s why Jesus said ofHimself, “I am the way, and the truth,and the life; no one comes to theFather, but through Me.” (John 14:6).

It was not bulldozers, earth-moversand road graders that did the work tobuild the Road to God; it was a humanbirth of the God-man, His perfect life,brutal torture and death on a cross ona hill outside Jerusalem. That’s whatconstructed for us the Road to Jesus.

This is a contin-uation of theexamination of theSeven GodlyVirtues with a lookat the mostblessed of virtues -Charity. This isthe virtue thatopposes the viceof Greed because rather than seek-ing anything for itself, Charity seeksto pour out itself for another.

Simply stated, the virtue ofCharity is the virtue of Love. This isnot the love that is spoken of ingreeting cards, the romantic oremotional love. This is not the loveof physical passion of which somuch of our society seems to beobsessed. This is the love that St.Paul wrote about in FirstCorinthians chapter 13. This Lovedoes not come from emotion orstrength of discipline (though allthree of these are aspects. This loveis the gift of the Holy Spirit - givenfreely to those who open theirhearts and minds and simply ask.

We are now celebrating the sea-son of Pentecost, and as we do weremember the fulfillment of Jesus’promise to send the Holy Spirit.The gift of Love (agape) comesdirectly from the Holy Spirit - let uspray that God the Holy Spirit willfill us with this most sacred andholy gift…and perhaps moreimportantly put that gift intoaction. As St. Paul wrote:

“If I speak in the tongues of men

Kutzner

and of angels, but have not love, Iam a noisy gong or a clangingcymbal. And if I have propheticpowers, and understand all mys-teries and all knowledge, and if Ihave all faith, so as to removemountains, but have not love, I amnothing. If I give away all I have,and if I deliver up my body to beburned, but have not love, I gainnothing. Love is patient and kind;love does not envy or boast; it isnot arrogant or rude. It does notinsist on its own way; it is not irri-table or resentful; it does notrejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoiceswith the truth. Love bears allthings, believes all things, hopes allthings, endures all things. Lovenever ends. As for prophecies,they will pass away; as fortongues, they will cease; as forknowledge, it will pass away. Forwe know in part and we prophesyin part, but when the perfectcomes, the partial will pass away.When I was a child, I spoke like achild, I thought like a child, I rea-soned like a child. When I becamea man, I gave up childish ways.For now we see in a mirror dimly,but then face to face. Now I knowin part; then I shall know fully,even as I have been fully known.So now faith, hope and love abide,these three; but the greatest ofthese is love.” (1 Corinthians 13ESV).

Recently Icame across aphrase I had notheard of before.Since IsabellaLake is a Corpsof Engineers lake,I thought some ofyou might find itas interesting as I did.

The phrase “take line” refers toa line or boundary around a lakefrom which the Corps literally“takes” the land from a predeter-mined survey, from that line tothe water’s edge is deemed notusable by the landowners. It nowbelongs to the Corps.

The Corps, from time to time,will re-establish existing Corpsboundary lines by locating surveymonuments, clearing brush alongexisting boundary lines, replacingor painting new boundary mark-ers such as; line post, trees, andsurvey monuments that serve asreference points.

I am not sure where the “takeline” is on Isabella Lake, but I amgoing to do some hiking aroundthe lake for the purpose of locat-ing this line in the sand, if for noother reason, just because I’mcurious.

The tale of the take lineAntler, Fin & Feather Report

The bass fishing was prettygood up to the full moon. Myunderstanding is that the fish mayhave preferred a moon tan over asun tan. The good news is themoon is on the decrease now, sothe fishing should warm back up.

The shad have been swimmingfor their lives recently with smallbass getting their winter weighton. The word is that there are lotsand lots of 13 to 15-inch bass justdevouring the shad. Remember,there is a 15-inch size limit and atwo fish possession limit stipulat-ed in the Department of Fish andWildlife regulations for IsabellaLake.

There is now, more than ever, aserious problem for lake visitorsand even some of our regularfisherman with boats who are nottruly familiar with the structure atthis low water level. Please beextra careful and do your best toavoid the lake’s many structuralhazards. As the lake level contin-ues to drop, more and more stick-ups and rock piles and fence rowsbecome unveiled. Those in-the-know go slow.

Don’t see ‘Now You See Me’

Jesse Eisenberg in “Now You SeeMe”

© 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Sam Struckhoff

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Now You See Me” (PG-13) —

Four magicians (Woody Harrelson,Isla Fisher, Jesse Eisenberg andDave Franco) are paid by awealthy investor to do a magicshow in which they empty a bankvault in France and shower themoney all over their audience inAmerica. Various law enforcementagencies are not so impressed, andan international investigationstarts - trying to pull back the cur-tain on what appears to be somekind of heist cover-up deal.

This movie is more obsessedwith plot twists than entertainingthe audience. Everybody knowsthat magic tricks are a lot lessimpressive when they’re in amovie - you got out of those hand-cuffs with editing, Jesse Eisenberg,not sleight of hand or magic. Thefilm tries to inject thrills throughswirling cameras and super-plot-twists that don’t delight as muchas they annoy.

“From Up on Poppy Hill” (PG)— Umi is a thoughtful girl living inJapan in 1963. While her countryis gearing up for hosting the 1964Olympics, the devastation ofWorld War II lingers. In the scenicport town of Yokohama, Umi rais-es flags in her front yard inremembrance of her father, whodied at sea. Shy Umi and her flagscatch the attention of a classmate,and a romance starts to grow

between the two kids while theylearn about past and future, youthand age.

Studio Ghibli has long been rec-ognized as one of the finest anima-tion outfits in the world. Their filmsare usually poignant, touching andwondrous. This time around, leg-endary director Hayao Miyazakiprovides the script, and gives thedirecting duty to his son, GoroMiyazaki..

“Stories We Tell” (Not Rated)— Some stories we tell a milliontimes over, and they change just abit each time just as our memoriesof the events change. This uniquedocumentary collects stories fromthe filmmaker’s (Sarah Polley) fami-ly, showing that stories and memo-ries often are contradictory, and thetruth is hard to be sure of. The doc-umentary has a double-investiga-tion, as the Polleys’ interviewsbegin to look into the secret kept bythe long-past mother of the family.

Keep those utilities on!Talking About Real Estate

Matt FreemanCourier Columnist

Often, as we allknow, the bestway for a proper-ty to sell is for theproperty to “sell”itself.

First impres-sions are every-thing, especiallyin a market where buyers are call-ing so many of the shots. A firstimpression of a property can bemake-or-break when it comes to asale. Often that first impression issorely lacking if utilities are notleft on by a seller. Yeah I know, itcosts money.But a low utilitybill each monthor a sold home -which is betterin the long run?

In the sum-mertime, whenbuyers and real-tors walk into a house that is hot,stale and smelly, it is hard to sellthe house. Imagine trying to sell acar like that. The test drive does-n’t do well if it’s 105 degrees out-side and the AC is not on.

Here are some tips to help thathome sell in the summer and keepthose utility costs down at thesame time.■ Keep the thermostat at 80. Thatis comfortable enough and it willnot cost a bunch in utility use.

Even better, put the AC or cool-ers on a thermostat and time it toonly maintain the temps duringregular showing hours.■ Keep lights on at night. Putthem on a timer, just a couple offluorescent bulbs at night makethe place look occupied. ■ Keep the water on as well. Iknow the idea of a person usingyour bathroom that you do notknow is kinda weird and it takessome trust, but often the call ofnature necessitates bathroomavailability! Or to demo thekitchen, turn sinks on and offstuff like that. I once sold a housethat way, they bought the place

just because itshowed welland all serviceswere on.■ Have some-one check theplace out everynow and then.That personshould be the

listing agent of the property asthe seller is paying them to listthe place. Make sure they comeby every couple of weeks to makesure all is well. That is the leastwe can do as realtors: to haverespect for the folks that werepresent.

make sure you don't get the"California Howdy" from the locals.■ Stay in your lane. It might looklike a one-lane road, but it's not.Please remember that there areother cars coming from the oppo-site way. If you can't stay in yourlane around the turns, slow down! Itis most unpleasant to come arounda corner and find another car com-ing at you in your lane.■ Watch for cows. This is rangeland; you will most likely see cows,sometimes in the road. Drive care-fully and remember to "Moo" atthem when you pass.■ If you someone rides yourbumper, pull over. Don't wait forfive or six cars to line up like you doin the canyon. Yes, it's rude to tail-gate, but it's not your job to makesure all the people behind you don'tgo too fast. They are probably localswho know how to drive that roadblindfolded (although I don't rec-ommend it).■ Enjoy the drive! Don't forget towave at the cars passing by, butremember to use all your fingers!

Thanks!
