Recently Inoticed an ad for afloat tube.

Accompanyingthe picture of thetube was a glowingdescription of whatfun it was to fishwhile suspended inthe water and howhealthy and exhila-rating it would beto spend a fewhours each day using one.

I was intrigued, and immediatelybought a floattube.

The first thing Iwanted to do wasto try it out andtaste some of theguaranteed fun Iwas led to expect.I soon found outthat I needed a few other things tomake the floating experience work-able. Some of the things neededwere swim fins, a life jacket and ofcourse my fishing gear.

Following directions, I put the finson my feet. This is not easy. You haveto slip your tennis shoes into the finslot and lace it up. If you don’t dothis right, the fins will come off whileyou are paddling around and usuallyfar from shore. After putting the finson, you are supposed to step into thecenter of the float tube and pull thetube up around your waist. This isalmost impossible. Your fins keep

catching on the center bottom of thetube. Eventually you have to leanagainst a tree and wiggle yourselfinto position.

The next thing is to walk downand into the water until you are float-ing. It is at this point that you realizethat you cannot walk forward withfins on without falling. I have no ideahow ducks do it. Instead, you have toback into the water which allows youto trip on anything that’s behind you,which more often than not usuallyhappens.

Once these first simple steps aremastered, you start wagging yourfins and find out that it is easier toturn in circles than to move forward

or any otherdirection. Oftenyou find yourselffar from shoreand the wind isblowing you outinto the lake anddespite yourpaddling, the

shore is disappearing. One time I had to have a guy in a

boat tow me back to shore. That wasnot one of my better days.

I will admit that floating in a tubereally is fun, and a different way tofeel the fishing experience. That said,my float tube is now in a box, in theattic. And my fishing is done fromthe shore with my feet on solidground.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Being Flynn” (R) — Nick Flynn

(Paul Dano) has been mixed upsince the death of his mother(Julianne Moore in flashbacks). Hisfather, Jonathan (Robert De Niro inone of the best roles he’s hadrecently), was never around muchand mostly just talked himself up asa great writer. Father and son meetin a homeless shelter where Nick isvolunteering and Jonathan hassought refuge, still with the attitudethat he’s a brilliant writer flung intoanother rich scenario.

“American Reunion” (R) —Those kids from the smash-hit teensex comedy of the late ‘90s are back.Too bad they’re not teenagers, it’snot the ‘90s, and since there hasbeen a steady stream of “AmericanPie” sequels and spin offs, it’s hardto celebrate the return of the origi-nal cast. Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz(Chris Klein) and the foul Stifler(Sean William Scott) meet up withtheir old high-school chums for ahigh-school reunion and ceremonialrehashing of tired comedy material.

The raunchy humor that’s beenthe staple of the franchise alsomakes a return, but to hit-or-missresults. Sometimes Stifler sayssomething vile in just the right way

to be funny. Mostother items ofraunchy humorare less funny andmore uncomfort-able or disap-pointingly pre-dictable.

“Quill: TheLife of a GuideDog” — ThisJapanese importfollows a yellow

labrador from his puppy days toadulthood as a guide dog for theblind. It’s in live action, and the dogdoes not talk. Quill is selected fromhis litter for training because as apuppy, he didn’t come when hismaster called — a sign of a goodcandidate. While it’s a fictionaldrama, the movie is surprisinglyinformative.

Quill is eventually matched upwith a blind man who is not keen onbeing led around by a dog. Quill hasto demonstrate the patience of histraining along with the more love-able dog traits to show his ownerthat he can be trusted. It may be abit slow for many kids, but young-sters who are passionate about ani-mals and can keep up with the sub-titles will be glued to the screen.

Jack Duitsman, PastorFather’s Heart FoursquareChurch, Kernville

And Jesus wentup on the moun-

tain, and there hesat with His disci-

ples. - John 6:3

At firstglance, theabove verseserves as littlemore than a tran-sitional narrative.Jesus was going from one place toanother and we are told how hegot there.

Yet it should not strike us ascurious when the Holy Spiritnudges us totake a secondlook for a some-what hiddennugget of truth,for there is littleif anything inlife that doesn'thold signifi-cance far beyond what might beassigned by an initial cursoryglance.

Simply because our attention isenamored by the grand momentsin life, the big movements of emo-tion and energy, does not meanthat the relative importance of farquieter happenings should be rele-gated to the scrap heap of triviali-ty. Remember the old adage: “Bigthings come in small packages!”

Imagine in one of theseThursday afternoon moments oflife when nothing of any impor-tance appears to be taking place,having Jesus sitting with us. Thecircumstance may not change interms of what is taking place out-wardly, but the simple presence ofthe Lord Jesus brings a remark-able sense that there is much moregoing on than meets the eye.

Suddenly a hike up the moun-tain and a welcome sit down torest moment became the back-drop for 5,000 people to be fedwith a very small amount of food.This verse isn’t just a transitionalnarrative or a tidbit of semi inter-esting information, it is thereminder that Emmanuel (Godwith us) meant it when He said: “Iwill never leave you nor forsakeyou.”

When we sit down, Jesus sits

Duitsman

And there he satwith us; when we sit in traffic,Jesus is with us; when we sit in ahospital waiting room, Jesus willnot allow us to sit alone. We maytend to overlook this simple verse,like so many of the simplemoments of life, when in realitywe ought to focus our attention onwhat Jesus desires to do.

It is quickly clear that like us,the disciples were sorely out oftheir league in terms of seeingmuch more from this momentthan sitting on the ground andresting. Multitudes were comingbehind them, but even the sim-plest of questions such as “whatshould we do about the food situa-tion?” was beyond their reach.

Yet Jesus partnered with themin bringing about the miraculous,

and their seem-ingly slowresponses werewoven into thenarrative aspart of the mir-acle itself.

Andrewwas able to

find the boy with the small lunch,Philip was not scolded for hismathematical approach to the nofood problem, and all of the disci-ples were involved in setting up,serving and gathering up whatwas left over.

Even if we are not able to seebeyond the moment, Jesus walkswith us and works in us to bringabout his purposes. Certainly inour spiritual slowness we mustmiss the greater part of what wecould see if we were able, but let’sbe encouraged today by the “withus” nature of the Father’s commit-ment to His children. It is He whois at work in us, His work isdescribed as a “good work,” andHe has promised to continue thiswork as long as life’s breath is inus.

The picture of Jesus sitting onthe mountainside with His disci-ples is profoundly real, and bringspromise of Divine touch into everypossible scenario we encounter.Our lives may appear mundane atmoments, but nothing could befurther from the truth. The Lordof love sits with us, the Lord of lifehas not left us, and His presencepromises grace and strength tomove through, peace to live withand powerful deliverance to livebeyond.

“ ”His work is described as a

‘good work’...

- Duitsman

Clarence Semonious, PastorPrince of Peace LutheranFellowship, Kernville

One day, whenJesus was sittingon the Mount ofOlives, “…the disci-ples came to himprivately, saying,‘Tell us, when willthese things be, andwhat will be thesign of your com-ing and of the closeof the age?’”Matthew 24:3. He began his answerwith this com-ment, “See thatno one leads youastray.” After giv-ing them a list ofwarnings, Herestated, “And many false prophetswill arise and lead many astray.”Matthew 24:11. Such a warning is arestatement of a civil reality that hasbeen ignored today because of mod-ern legislation. That warning,“Caveat emptor,” or let the buyerbeware should not be confused as adoctrine of law, but a behaviordemonstrating acumen. A descrip-tion of acumen would includeinsight, good judgment, and wisdom.Jesus went on to give an excellentreason for such caution; “…becauselawlessness will be increased, the loveof many will grow cold.” Matthew24:12. Within the context of such a

warning, Jesus added, “And thisgospel of the kingdom will be pro-claimed throughout the whole worldas a testimony to all nations, and thenthe end will come.” Matthew 24:14.To restate the warning, let the readerbeware.

one, these words give meaning to“…when the fullness of time hadcome, God sent forth his Son, born ofwoman, born under the law, toredeem those who were under thelaw, so that we might receive adop-tion as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5. Wewho would endure to the end, woulddo well to look for insight, goodjudgment, and wisdom, aware that,

“All things arelawful, but not allthings are help-ful.” 1Corinthians10:23. So,

“whether you eat or drink, or whatev-er you do, do all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:31.

“Do all to the glory of God,” is notlicense to do all according to my will.Insight, good judgment, and wisdomwould advise, “Praise the Lord! Praisethe Lord, O my soul!” Psalm 146:1.“Blessed is he whose help is the Godof Jacob, whose hope is in the Lordhis God, who made heaven and earth,the sea, and all that is in them, whokeeps faith forever…” Psalm 146:5-6.

Caring for your American flagTo prevent undue wear, mount the

flag in a location where it can flyfreely. Do not display in inclementweather. Fly ends: Watch for the firstsigns of fraying. Flags can betrimmed or re-hemmed, greatly pro-longing the life of the flag.

Windy days: high winds areextremely tough on flags. If at allpossible, take down the flag whenwinds exceed 30 mph.

Rain or snow: for best results, donot expose your flag to these ele-ments. If exposed, after a heavy rainor snow storm, take down the flagand spread out to dry. Do not fold orroll up a wet flag.

Cleaning the flag: Nylon flagscan be hand washed in mild deter-gent, then spread out to dry.

Expected life of a flag: The U.S.Government generally expects anoutdoor flag to last approximately 90to 120 days when flown from dawnto dusk in good weather.

Flag disposal: The U.S. Flag Codestates that when a flag is in such acondition that it is no longer a fittingemblem for display, it should bedestroyed in a dignified way, prefer-ably by burning. Many Veteran andcivic organizations will properly dis-pose of a flag at no cost.

Cody NorrisUS Forest Service

The US Forest Service invites thepublic to another patrioticIndependence Day celebration atLake Isabella this Saturday June 30.The Kern River Valley Chamber ofCommerce, through a special usepermit with the USFS, will providethe visiting public a spectacular fire-works show. The show will startaround 9 p.m., with the fireworkslaunched from Engineer's Point.Fees at Auxiliary Dam, Old Isabella,Camp 9 Day Use, and South ForkRecreation Areas will be waived forspectators on Saturday from 6 p.m.until the end of the fireworks showaround 10 p.m.

USFS personnel will be patrollingduring the show to prevent the risk ofwildfires. Fireworks of any kind are prohibitedin the Kern Valley. Law enforcementwill issue fines for any violations.Fire officials ask residents and visi-tors to acquire a campfire permit andfollow regulations if they plan tobuild a fire, barbeque, or operate acamp stove outside of a campsite

with a fire pit. A campfire permit canbe obtained at any Forest Service orBureau of Land Management officeor on the Sequoia National Forestwebsitewhere you can download acopy of the permit. The KernvilleChamber of Commerce can also pro-vide campfire and wilderness per-mits, and will be open on the week-end. Campfire safety is extremelyimportant due to the dryness of thegrass and brush.

If you are camping for the week-end or the week, at Lake Isabella,there are several campsites availableon a first-come, first-served basis.Camp 9 Recreation Area offers sever-al individual and group campsites forovernight and day use camping.Camp 9 has potable water in spigots,a dump station, and a fish cleaningstation. This campground is locatedoff Sierra Way along the northeastshoreline of Isabella. Hanning Flatand Stine Cove are open for shorelinecamping with no fees; these are dis-persed campgrounds with no potablewater.

Pyrotechnic HistoryChina is generally recognized as

the birthplace of fireworks with thefirst explosive mixture found beingblack powder, during the Sungdynasty (960-1279). It is said that acook in ancient China found theexplosive powered mixture wasvery flammable and would explodeif enclosed in a small space. AsEmeril Lagasse would say, “Bam!”

The first application of this tech-nology was for entertainment andthe Chinese are still the leader inthe production of fireworks. Oncethe recipe for black powder wasperfected, they found that it waseasily used as rocket fuel. Theserockets shot rocket-poweredarrows against the Mongolinvaders of 1279. The principlebehind these rockets is still used inrocket-powered fireworks today.

Through adventurous explorers,the knowledge of making fire-works spread west, throughArabia in the seventh century. TheArabs called the rockets Chinesearrows. The Mongols are creditedwith taking Chinese rockets andgunpowder to Europe around1241. The first record of their usein Europe is around 1258.

Until the 19th century, fireworksremained less than colorful.Pyrotechnicians began to use acombination of potassium chlorateand various metallic salts to makebrilliant colors. The salts of thesemetals produce the different col-ors: strontium burns red, coppermakes blue, barium glows greenand sodium, yellow. Magnesium,aluminum, and titanium werefound to give off white sparkles ora flash.

Even though China invented thefireworks, Europe surpassed themin pyrotechnic development in the14th century, which coincides withthe time the gun was invented.Shot and gunpowder for militaryuse was made by skilled trades-men, later called firemakers, who

also made fireworks for peace orvictory celebrations.

During the Renaissance, twoEuropean schools of pyrotechnicthought emerged: one in Italy andthe other at Nuremberg, Germany.

The Italian school of pyrotech-nics emphasized elaborate fire-works, and the German schoolstressed scientific advancement.

Both schools added significantlyto further development of pyrotech-nics, and by the mid-17th centuryfireworks were used for entertain-ment on an unprecedented scale inEurope, and by the mid-19th centu-ry fireworks becamepopular in the UnitedStates.

The physics ofFireworks2XC1O3 > 2XC1 +302 = ‘Ka-Boom!’

What most don’trealize is that physicsare used and takeplace during everyfireworks show. Thescience of pyrotech-nics involves manyphysics applicationsthat must be consid-ered to produce enter-taining displays.Pyrotechnicians musttake into account therelationships betweenvectors, velocities,projectiles and theirtrajectories, the explo-sion and forcesbehind the fireworksburst patterns.

The velocities andthe distances traveledby the shells can beunderstood andmanipulated by usingthe following formulasand mathematicalmethods:

■ Y=VyT+0.5GT^2 -Y=vertical height,Vy=initial verticalvelocity, T=hang time,G=acceleration due togravity.

■ X=VxT - X=hori-zontal distance,Vx=initial horizontalvelocity, T=hang time.

■ The PythagoreanTheorem - a^2 + b^2 =c^2, a or b = verticalor horizontal velocity,c=resultant initialvelocity.

■ TrigonometricFunctions - Sine,

cosine, and tangent. In a right tri-angle sine=oppositeside/hypotenuse, cosine=adjacentside/hypotenuse, tangent=oppositeside/adjacent side. Enough of that!

Formulas you see are primarilywhat are used to chart trajectories.They are very useful tools allowingpyrotechnicians to visualize howhigh and how far their shells willtravel during a show. ThePythagorean Theorem is used tofind a certain initial velocity valuewhen the other two factors areknown. The TrigonometricFunctions are also used to find ini-tial velocity values, but are used tofind vertical heights, horizontal dis-

Pyrotechnicians use these math-ematical methods along withcharts, graphs and computer pro-grams derived from them to plantheir impressive displays. Theymust also consider shell burst sizeswhen planning shows. The biggerthe shell size the larger the effect sothey must know how big certainbursts are when compared to oth-ers when choreographing a showand so they don’t exceed their safezone requirements. As with initialmortar velocities, the bigger theshell size the larger the effect. Shellburst sizes are usually about 45 feetin diameter for every inch in shellsize. A two-inch shell produces aburst of 90 feet but an eight-inchshell produces a burst about 360feet across. It is just one more thingthat pyrotechnicians use to pro-duce entertaining and attractivefireworks shows.

Fireworks ChemistryFireworks are usually made out

of the following items: an oxidizingagent, a reducing agent, a coloringagent, binders and regulators.These mixed together are whatmake up the basic fireworks.

■ Oxidizers - The first thing in afirework is the oxidizing agent.These produce the oxygen to burnthe mixture. Oxidizers are usuallynitrates, chlorates or perchlorates.

■ Reducing Agents - The secondelement of fireworks are reducingagents. The reducing agents burnthe oxygen produced by the oxidiz-ers to produce hot gasses. Twoexamples of reducing agents areSulfur and Charcoal (carbon). Theagents are used to control thespeeding or slowing of the reac-tion, with metals often added tospeed the reaction. The finer thepowder, the faster the reaction.This is because one of the factorsaffecting reaction rates is concen-tration. For example, wheat willburn slowly, while wheat dust float-ing in the air will explode. Thishappens when a grain siloexplodes.

■ Binders - The fourth elementof fireworks are the binders.Binders hold the mixture in a lump.This lump is a star. In order to forma star, two main elements are used.These are dextrine dampened bywater, or a shellac compounddampened by alcohol. These arerolled and then cut.

Fireworks ConstructionThe first job a pyrotechnician

has after planning the show is

selecting and/or building the actualaerial shells that will be used. This isa very involved and time-consumingprocess, but it is crucial to the endresult that the spectators will takein.

Firework shells are not what youtypically see illustrated as rockets.There are two types of shells thatare constructed today. One is theold- fashioned Oriental style spheri-cal (or ball) shell, and the Americanstyle cylindrical shell. They bothcontain a lift charge for propulsionof the shell into the air, a time fuseleading to the burst charge thatexplodes the shell, and the actualburst stars that are packed into theshell and produce the brilliant col-ors during the show.

Each type of shell is available inthe following sizes: 2-inch through6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 16-inch, 24-inch and 36-inch. Sizesfrom 16 inches and up are only usedduring very large scale shows, areextremely expensive and require ahuge safe zone to fire from.

At a cost of $500 each, a 10-inchshell is the largest that you will seedisplayed at the Isabella Lake fire-works show. The differencebetween cylinder and ball shelltypes is basically price and perform-ance. Ball shells are easier to manu-facture, but aren’t capable of carry-ing as many burst stars as cylinderstyle shells of the same dimensions.

The abbreviated process of con-structing a spherical aerial shell isto first make the form used to con-struct the shell around. Somepyrotechnicians use styrofoam ballsfitted with a thin layer of plastic sothat the shell paper won’t stick to it.This enables the forms to be usedmore than once.

The next step is applying theactual shell material around theform. Most pyrotechnicians userecycled newspaper to do this. Theybasically cut the newspaper intothin strips and paste it around theform with either Elmer’s glue orwheat paste. It is a process muchlike working with paper mache.Once the form is covered withappropriate number of layers - andthe larger the shell, the more layers- it is placed in an oven for three orfour hours for drying.

After the paper shells are dried,they’re cut in half for the loading ofthe star burst material. Once thesphere is cut in half it can be loadedwith the burst stars and pasted backtogether and ready for firing.

This should provide you theinsight into what kind of work goesinto constructing the shells fired atyour Isabella Lake FireworksSpectacular show.

Enjoy!

The doctormay be in, butwill you haveaccess tohim/her?

This is a grow-ing problem inAmerica, as thepopulation ages,more demandsare being placedon the medicalsystem. Resources are beingstretched, in some areas more thanothers.

Recently, anHMO clientcalled on aSaturday. Hewas in the hos-pital and need-ed a specializedsurgeon. Theattending physi-cian and hospital did not have aphysician on staff who was con-tracted with the insurance plan.My response to the urgent callwas, “Call the insurance company.It’s their problem, and they can fixit.”

By law, if it is a Medicare HMO,they must provide services equalto Medicare, and they can contractwith a physician for the neededcare, even if the doctor is not ontheir plan as a regular provider.

I often feel like a broken record.The $0 monthly premium MedicareAdvantage HMO is great for peo-ple without the financial where-withal to purchase a MedicareSupplement. However, those peo-ple who can afford a supplement

and choose to go the HMO routeare in for a big surprise whenneeded services are delayed ordenied.

When it is a matter of grocerieson the table or a health plan, theHMO is a solution. But along withit comes the inconvenience andrisks, the longer waits for appoint-ments with specialists, or the “sec-ond guessing” of care requestedversus care the company is willingto pay for.

Another issue in California isthat you may go to an insurancecompany participating hospital,but within the hospital are “con-tract providers.” These can be the

emergencyroom doctors,the laboratory,physical thera-py, radiologyand a host ofother peoplewho bill sepa-rate from the

hospital. While they are housedunder the hospital’s roof, they billseparately, and may not be a planprovider.

You must check, or suffer theconsequences of a bill not at a dis-counted negotiated insurance rate,but a charge for full retail. Thisapplies to individual and employ-er-sponsored group plan more sothan Medicare and Medicare sup-plements.
