Rod MiddleworthCourier Columnist

As I get olderand long in thetooth, I've noticedthat I find myselfholding lots ofnegative thoughts.I don't like this andI don't like thatand what are those politicians doingnow, things like that.

Then I got to thinking, life is full ofgood things, far more than the nega-tive ones. But age seems to bring onattention to the negative. So Ithought today I'd cancel those outand write a column about the goodthings that I have enjoyed over theyears. Things I like to eat, things Ilike to do, and a host of other thingsthat come to mind. The following arenot in order they are just randomthoughts about the good things I'veencountered. Limited space allowsme to only mention a few.

I like things like feeling sandbetween my toes as I walk along thebeach, fishing in the ocean, andcatching surf perch. I like the fun ofbuying and driving a new car andhiking from Tehachapi to Mt.Whitney with hiking friends. I likethe taste of apple pie and vanilla icecream. I enjoy getting in the car andusing a map to drive on the lessertraveled roads or taking my foot thatwalked in the Pacific Ocean acrossthe United States and placing it inthe Atlantic Ocean. I loved my yearsas a radar man in the SubmarineService. And I liked fishing in LakeIsabella from shore and catching as

Things I have noticed...

The good things many weeds as I did fish. I enjoyreading and listening to books onCD's.

Here are some more: Diggingworms. The smell of Pine trees whilehiking in the Sierra's.

Working on and spending time atour cabin in Greenhorn. Learning toScuba Dive in a Fresno lake calledAvacado. Racing outboards. Gettingmy shoes shined whenever I got ahaircut (before tennis shoes). Writingthis column. Being a guide at ourlocal Museum. Making a ringer whileplaying horseshoes. Picking cherriesin an orchard. Teaching my son, twodaughters, five grand-children andone great grand-daughter how tofish (there are still four more to go).Using power tools that fit the job.Riding a Honda Gold Wing with mywife as passenger.

Flying radio controlled aircraft.Sitting on my front porch and enjoy-ing the view of Lake Isabella. Usingmy computer and going into Google,the world at my fingertips. Being withfriends. Toastmasters. Rotary andLions Club. Meeting my wife for thefirst time. Marriage and watching ourkids grow. Sports, graduations andcollege.

As I wrote this I realized that thegood times far exceeded any badtimes that might have come along. Iwould challenge those of you whoread this to the end to take some timeand think about 'your' good times andthe pleasure that comes from remem-bering them.

Wofford Heights resident RodMiddleworth is a retired security manag-er for Pacific Bell.

Dan Schlensker,Courier Columnist

This is the firsttime I have everlived surroundedby anything likemountains.Mountains havetheir own ruggedbeauty and inspirea sense of awe.It’s probably no accident thatmountains figure so prominentlyin the Bible.

In Psalm121 (NAS), thepsalmist says,“I Will lift upmy eyes to themountains;From whenceshall my helpcome? Myhelp comes from the LORD, Whomade heaven and earth.” That sug-gests that as he observes the mag-nificence of the creation, this poetis reminded of the Creator. He isalso moved, through contemplat-ing the mountains’ splendor, totrust that amazingly creativeBeing, and to believe that the God,who created such awesome stuff,is actually mindful of him.

In the second book of the Bible(Exodus), Mt. Sinai is featured asthe site where God established hisOld Covenant (testament) with Hispeople, where He delivered toMoses the 10 Commandments ontablets of stone. Mountains arereminders of God’s promise to

Contemplating mountainsthat multitude there at the foot ofthat mountain that they would beHis people and He would be theirGod.

In Deuteronomy 11, Mt.Gerezim & Ebal are portrayed asmounts of blessing and cursing,respectively. And thinking aboutcursing, Mt. Sinai, itself, actuallyturns out to be a bad-news-moun-tain, because it is associated withGod’s Law, which, of course, noone can keep.

Some other mountains, though,bring us betternews. One ofthem is themountain onwhich Jesuswas glorifiedin His Trans-figuration(Matthew 17,Mark. 9, Luke.

9) and shown to be the Son ofGod, Whose mission pointed toanother mountain, called Calvary,where on the cross Jesus offeredup Himself as the sacrificial pay-ment for the sins of the world.

Finally, from the Mt. of Olives,Jesus ascended into the heavens(Acts 1), where He continues topray for all those He died for.

To look at the mountains allaround us can be a powerfulreminder of Who God is, what Hisgrace and mercy have accom-plished for His creatures.

The weather is starting to cool off and crappie are starting to moveinto the shallows. As usual, the bass are following.

Above is a picture of a seven pound male caught from the FrenchGulch Marina. The crappie are running from 1/2 to 3/4 pound and the bass are run-ning up to 7 lbs. Trout are running deep and not many are beingcaught. Bluegill are too small to keep. But, if you go for them, remem-ber to hook the mealworm one time only in the center. They willmove more slowly and attract the fish.

If you like catfish, use kosher hot dogs. I know you think I am kid-ding, "I'm not."Remember to check out your Fish and Wildlife bookfor limits. Good luck.

■ Fishing reports and planting schedules are updated directly from area reportingsport fishermen, sporting goods stores, local marinas and CDFW Hatchery staff. ■ Allfish plants are subject to change depending on road, water, weather and operationalconditions. ■ Conditions permitting, the waters listed to be restocked with catchable-size fish from CDFW hatchery schedules. ■ More specific dates and locations are notreported to avoid focusing excess fishing activity immediately after a plant.

Couch Theater

Audiences feel the love of music

KeiraKnightleyin "BeginAgain"


Sam StruckhoffCourier Contributor

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Begin Again” (R) -- This is

one of those enchanting movieswhere the music almost eclipses theentire story. Greta (Keira Knightley)is a songwriter and sometimes-singer who's hit a low point, breath-ing her feelings into a microphonein a stale little lounge in New YorkCity. Her voice has a deep effect onDan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgracedmusic producer who's hit an evenlower low. Dan convinces Greta totake a chance and produce a recordwith him, shunning studios andmaking music in the streets.

This is the follow-up feature fromJohn Carney, the director of thewildly successful, low-budget musi-cians-in-love movie "Once." Carney-- a musician himself -- knows howto make audiences feel that love ofmusic. Funny thing is, he got betterdramatic performances in "Once,"when his actors were musiciansinstead of movie stars..

“Deliver Us from Evil” (R) --Sick of exorcism movies yet? Howabout a crime-solving exorcist whoworks for the NYPD?! Fortunately,there's a 2001 memoir by a real-lifecop detailing his "experiences" fight-ing the supernatural. Ralph Sarchie(Eric Bana) has great cop-intuition, asmart-mouth partner (Joel McHale)and a bone to pick with the ManUpstairs. He meets up with a too-cool-for-Sunday-school renegadepriest (Edgar Ramirez) who helps

Sarchie realize that he should bedoing the Lord's work.

Despite combining the crimedrama and supernatural thriller gen-res, the action feels by-the-numbers.The most the movie has to offer is aclimactic exorcism and a lot of sud-den noises to try to fry your nerves.What's missing is the right psycho-logical trickery to make all of thatspookiness into real nightmare fuel..

“Life of Crime” (R) -- FrankDawson (Tim Robbins) has a lot ofmoney, a gorgeous wife (JenniferAniston) and a team of bumblingcareer-criminals plotting to kidnapher for a huge ransom. The master-minds didn't realize one importantdetail: Frank is an amoral slob whocan save a lot of money if his wifedisappears, since he wants to get ridof her and go full-time with hisenthusiastic mistress in South Beach.It's an uncomfortable realization forthe kidnappers and the wife, really.This crime-comedy unfolds into afull-on confusing caper. The chucklesare worth the rental fee.

Finding a 12 percent returnDave Says

Dave RamseyCourier Columnist

Dear Dave,Where can I findmutual fundswith a 12 per-cent rate ofreturn?

- Jason

Dear Jason,There aren't a lot of them, but theyare out there. Currently, there areabout 8,000 different mutual fundsfloating around. You have to getonline and do some seriousresearch, ortalk with aninvesting pro-fessional withthe heart of ateacher, but Iown severalmutual fundsthat have anaverage annual return in excess of12 percent over the lifetime of thefund. Now, do they make that every sin-gle year? Of course not. The figureI'm talking about is an average. Iown one in particular that hasdone that for about 70 years. Butthe stock market in general hasaveraged just under 12 percent ayear since its inception. So yes,with solid research and due dili-gence on the part of the investor, itis possible to get that as an aver-age annual rate of return!

-Dave

Ramsey

Dear Cody,I'm 23, transitioning jobs, and Imake $32,000 a year. I have$11,000 in a 401(k), and about$15,000 in debt. Should I cashout the 401(k) to pay down mydebt?

- Jason

Dear Cody,I don't think so. When you takemoney out of a 401(k) they chargeyou a 10 percent penalty, plus yourtax rate. Your tax rate is about 20percent, so that means you'regoing to take a 30 percent hit.While I love dumping debt, your

idea would bekind of likesaying, "I wantto borrow$11,000 at 30percent inter-est to pay offmy debt." Thatdoesn't make a

lot of sense, does it?I never tell folks to cash out a401(k) or IRA to pay off debt,unless it's the only way to avoidforeclosure or bankruptcy. You'renot facing either one of those situ-ations, Cody. So my answer is no.

John Prettyman, in charge of theIsabella Dam Safety Modification proj-ect, believes that the designation "willnot likely result in Isabella Lake operationdecisions that would increase the risk ofloss of human life or cause significantimpacts to downstream economies." Henotes that the South Fork Kern Riverdelta of Isabella Lake currently holds thesecond largest population of western yel-low-billed cuckoos in California.

The California Fish and Game Codealready makes it illegal for farmers, oranyone else, to damage tricolored black-bird nest and eggs in most circum-stances, but it isn't widely enforced.

When asked if hethought it was appropriate for thesebirds to be listed, he thought that it wasbased on these birds have declined dra-matically. "California leads the country inloss of pasture and riverside forest that isa habitat for both these birds," he said.
