Rod MiddleworthKern River Courier Columnist

I recently readof a court casethat concernedthree rodents ofDyecon, anEnglish Villagesomewhere in theBritish Isles.

I noticed theywere suing thewife of a farmer.The following ismy interpretation of what I read.

The court docket stated the trialconcerned alleged cruelty to ani-mals. It was alleged that the micecame to harm at the hand of saidfarmer’s wife.

To compli-cate matters, itturns out thatthe mice wereblind. It wasalso alleged that the mice used towander around the house tappingwith their little red and whitecanes. It was further alleged thatthe tapping sound annoyed thefarmer’s wife. It was during thistime the alleged mishap occurred.

Court records show that thewife confessed she lost her cooland yelled at the mice. The micebecame disoriented and chargedtoward the woman. At that point,the farmer’s wife grabbed a carv-ing knife and cut off their tails. Thewoman countered that she actedout of fear and all she did was cutoff their tails. She further stated

Telling a tale of three tailsThings I have noticed...

Middleworth

that the mice, being blind, probablygot their tails caught on variousappurtenances within the house.She claimed, in essence, that shehelped them get around easer.

The judge, who had listened tothe tale of the tails, cleared histhroat, adjusted his robe and saidto the jury, “This is a confusing caseand for your edification I will sum-marize it for you:

“Three blind mice. See how theyrun. They all ran after the farmer’swife. She cut off their tails with acarving knife. I never saw such asight in my life as those three blindmice.”

The jury listened carefully, disbe-lief on their faces as the Judgeadmonished them to come back

with a verdict ofeither guilty orinnocent. TheJury was out forseveral hoursand at one point

asked to see the three severed tails(which were in a cooler).

Later in their deliberations, theyasked how the mice were blindedand were told that it came fromwatching too much TV late atnight.

Eventually the jury returned tothe courtroom with a verdict of“not guilty” by reason of insanitybased on the tap, tap tapping of thelittle red and white canes. As abizarre ending to this tale of thetails, after completion of the trial,the mice sold their severed tails oneBay for a small fortune and livedhappily ever after.

scheduled on theseaudits, I intend tocontinue to pres-sure the VA toaddress our veter-ans concerns andhow they plan toquickly implementreforms.

In the LosAngeles VeteransAffairs Regional

Office alone, which serves many vet-erans in our congressional district,80 percent of disability claims arebacklogged and it can take years toresolve outstanding cases.

This is unacceptable. The men and women who risked

all to defend American values athome and abroad deserve better thanthis. If VA does not take immediateand substantial steps to addressthese problems, the House will.

In addition to the statement Ireleased, Chairman Miller issued thefollowing statement:

“I am concerned that the backlogof disability claims continues togrow. One of my top priorities is tocurb the growth of the backlog andmake substantial strides towardsreducing it.

“While the VA says it is improvingits claims processing, the numbersand wait times tell a different story.

Action toensure veteranshave access totimely veteransservicesCongressmanKevin McCarthty

In response to recent reportsreleased by the GovernmentAccountability Office regarding thebenefits and services provided toveterans nationwide and in our localregion by the U.S. Department ofVeterans Affairs, both I, andVeterans Affairs Committee Chair,Jeff Miller, sent letters to VeteransAffairs Secretary, Eric Shinseki,urging the VA take immediate actionto implement the GAO’s recommen-dations and report back to Congresson that progress.

The Veterans Affairs Committee isscheduled to hold two hearings inFebruary to hear directly from GAOon its audits and the VA’s plan toaddress these reports.

The GAO’s audits only further con-firm our veterans’ concerns that theVA is taking too long to resolve theirdisability claims and schedule theirmedical appointments.

Now is the time for the VA to act,which is why Chairman Miller and Ihave urged Secretary Shinseki takeimmediate action to implementGAO’s recommendations to reduceback logs, increase claims processingtimes and ensure our nation’s veter-ans receive the care they deserve in atimely manner.

In the oversight hearings theVeterans Affairs Committee has

... that the Godof our Lord JesusChrist, the Fatherof glory, may give

unto you a spirit ofwisdom and reve-

lation in the knowl-edge of him; hav-

ing the eyes ofyour heart

enlightened ...- Ephesians 1:17 -18

Reading through the first chapterof Ephesians, I am always struck bythe heart of the Heavenly Father thatso longs for His children to be free.There is nothing inhibited about aneagle in full flight. The eagle repre-sents the capacity to break the surelybonds of this earth, and fly higher,farther and faster than all otherwinged birds. It is this pulsing heart-beat that rings loud and clear as theverses of Ephesians unfold, and liter-ally leave us breathless regarding allGod has planned and purposed forus.

We are reminded of the power tobring this to pass in our hearts andlives has already been displayedwhen God completed salvation’s planby raising our Lord Jesus from thedead. If that resurrection was not aproblem for the outstretched hand ofour Father, then neither is there anypower shortage in His capacity and

willingness to bring about His eternalplan in us.

Revisit the verse and a half and bereminded of a critical link in therelease of this power within us. IfGod would just work in us whateverHe wants, whenever He wants, therewould be far less chance of failurethan if you and I are to play any kind ofrole in the process. Yet prayer for theenlightening (awakening) of ourhearts remains, as does the unflinch-ing requirement of God to work Hiswill only according to the invitation ofour will.

Of course He could steamroll usinto an obedience based on His infinitegreatness in relation to our finitesmallness, but such is His great heartof love for us that this will never be thecase. The Father’s plan at work in ourlives gives us continued opportunitiesto bow our will to His own, but it everremains an invitation rather than acompulsion.

At the outset of this year of awak-ening, I hear the prayer in the screamsof the eagle as he rides the wings ofthe unseen winds, and his cries are foryou and me to take flight with him.Whatever has been our experience tothis point, may we indeed mount upwith wings as eagles (prophetic wordsfrom Isaiah’s 40th chapter), bowingour will to the eternal purpose of theFather, that ye may know what is thehope of his calling, what the riches ofthe glory of his inheritance in thesaints, and what the exceeding great-ness of his power to us-ward whobelieve.- Ephesians 1:18-19.

Mike MencariniKern River Courier Columnist

Recently Ireceived an emailfrom one of ourlocal fisherman.His concern waswhere are thenew docks andlaunch facilities?Ronnie, I'm notsure of theanswer, but whatI can say is sever-al months ago I spoke to the per-son in charge of maintaining thelakes launchand dock pro-gram. My bestrecollection,and oh by theway this was animpromptumeeting outsidethe Lake Patroloffice.

Anyway, I was under theimpression that the grant moniesawarded to this program havebeen released and work was tobegin in a short time.Furthermore, I won't use theassume word, but if memory does-n't fail me, the grant awarded toIsabella Lake was to at leastimprove, if not install new rampsand docks including new infra-

structure as needed. This grantawarded by California Boatingand Waterways is funded by finesand fees collected by C.B.W. wereto include all existing launch loca-tions on Isabella Lake. George ifyou read this and can give moreinfo please send me an email atthe Courier. We are almost intoFebruary and if work doesn'tbegin soon, I'll just leave it at that.

If you are depressed about thelow water situation and this iseasily understandable. Relax; thelake is very healthy right now. Thelake's shad population is in verygood shape according to the

"FishingFather" theshad schoolsare as large as40 feet vertical-ly and canencompass awide area ofthe main

launch area. All we need is snow,snow and some more snow. Rainis good, but snow pack is every-thing.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Flight" (R)” -- It starts off like

a thriller. Denzel Washington playsWhip Whitaker, an airline pilotwho pulls off an amazing emer-gency landing, saving the lives ofalmost everyone on board theplane. There’s tension, visualeffects, heroism. The whole situa-tion is flipped upside down whenWhip’s toxicology report comesback. He was drunk in the cockpit.The man of the hour could face lifein prison and a public shaming bythe media.

Washington is absolutely thepilot of this film. His performancecarries the dramatic weight andmaneuvers through tone shifts.There are some predictable pointsas the story gets into the drama ofhis addiction, but the story holdstogether. It’s a real-world dramawith a strong leading performanceand nothing holding it back.

“Here Comes the Boom”(PG-13) -- Scott Voss (KevinJames of ‘King of Queens’) is a lazyhigh-school teacher. When themusic program at his school (andthe music teacher, an adorablyaged Henry Winkler) is threatenedby budget cuts, Scott takes the nextlogical step for an overweight, 42-year-old educator -- he’ll win themoney by winning mixed martial

arts fights. The movie is

lazier than James’character, and aslazy as the prem-ise suggests. Takean inoffensivefunny fat guy andput him in a jobwhere he’s out ofplace. Done. KevinJames comes offlike a really niceguy, but that’s notenough to carry

the comedy. Unfortunately, it’s just not that

funny watching him get knockedaround by men in much bettershape.

“Alex Cross” (PG-13) -- Foronce, Tyler Perry is in a movie hedidn’t write, direct, produce andcater, and it’s actually worse thanhis usual. The movie is based on aJames Patterson novel about theorigins of Alex Cross, a homicidedetective who has been portrayedby Morgan Freeman in previousfilms. It’s a thriller so conventionalthat it becomes ridiculous. Ourhero (Perry) is unquestionablymoral, a church-going family manpitted against a serial killer(Matthew Fox) who’s all about tor-turing women. It’s not the psycho-logical thriller it thinks it is.

Harry P. ThalKern River Courier Columnist

There an age-oldquestion, “I havegood news and badnews. Which doyou want first?”The news is fresh,but the jury is stillout as to which isgood and which isnot.

This past week, Imet with colleaguesin the health insurance business in SanDiego. My day started out meetingwith Jessica Waltman, the V.P. ofLegislative Affairs for the NationalAssociation of Health Underwriters,who flew in from Washington, DC.She is super sharp when it comes tohealthcare and health insurance legis-lation. The crux of the situation is thatall people will be required, by law, tohave health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014,and these policies will need to be pur-chased between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31.

The good news is they will be“guaranteed issue.” So people whohave been putting off getting medicalservices will be able to have assistancefrom insurance plans in paying for thedoctors, surgeons or hospital bills.The bad news may be the cost.

All individual plans experienced arise in monthly premiums just recently,as new government mandates broughtmany preventative benefits to allhealth plans. These raises are nothing

compared to what is coming. Today,in California (where we have some ofthe lowest health insurance costs inthe country) the oldest, non-Medicareinsured, is paying about seven timesmore than the youngest covered adult.Under the new ObamaCare legisla-tion, this ratio will be three to one.The young people will be seeing dou-ble digit premium increases.

Now for the “good news/badnews.” One of the ways insurancecompanies have been holding therates down is by passing on part ofthe risk to people as higherdeductibles. This is not allowed inObamaCare. The highest deductibleallowed by the new law is $2,000. So,most people will need to change plans,resulting in higher costs.

For those who are thinking, “I can’tafford the insurance now, so how canI be expected to buy it when the cost iseven higher?” There will be subsidiesfor lower income people.

There is much more to be said onthis topic, including more taxes, and apossibility that in California, “services”may start to be taxed along with the“goods” we pay sales taxes on now.Stay tuned.

David RamseyKern River Courier Columnist

Dear Dave,I’m divorced

and have ateenager whowill be drivingsoon. Whatwould be thebest way to setup insurance forhim?

- Mike

Dear Mike,With my teenagers, I simply left

the car in my name and paid theextra insurance cost for a little while.For me, still being in control of thecar, as a dad, outweighed the addi-tional money I was paying in premi-ums. Having a minor child runningaround with his or her name on acar title is not a good plan.

Then, when they turned 18, I puteach of their cars into their names.This, of course, was dependent onthem behaving and acting responsi-bly. They were legally liable at thatage too. I’m sure the insurance costswent up, but at that point the finan-cial risk and liability factors were onthem, not me.

In this kind of situation, especiallybecause there’s more of a potentialfor disagreements, I think I’d do itthat way. Just put it in your name fornow, especially if you’re puttingmoney toward the purchase of avehicle.

-Dave

Dear Dave,When it comes to taking control

of your money and living on abudget, what's the biggest thing afamily can live without?

- WillDear Will,

There are always the shiny thingspeople can do without. Sometimespeople sell a fancy car or boat andget rid of a $600-a-month paymentright off the bat. But on a regular,day-to-day basis, I think maybe thebiggest and best thing you canamputate from your life is eating out.

I love a good restaurant, and I’vegot nothing against the industry. Theproblem, though, is that people arestruggling to pay their bills or setaside something for retirementbecause they’re eating out all thetime. Most folks simply don’t realizehow much money they throw awayby heading to the drive-through.I want people to enjoy life, and agreat part of that can be going outand having a meal with your familyand friends. Just don’t do it whenyou’re broke.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) You might feelbolder as each new success falls into place. Butcaution is still advised through the end of theweek. Until then, a step-by-step approach is best.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 to May 20) That cooperationyou request could come at too high a price. Sincefew can beat you at being clever and resourceful,why not see what you can do on your own?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor aquieter time spent getting closer to the peoplewho are especially important to you. There’salways much more to learn and appreciate abouteach other.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You want to actto resolve workplace misunderstandings beforethey get out of hand and cause more-seriousproblems. Co-workers rally to support yourefforts.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) What you might seeas a disturbing act of disloyalty might just be afailure of communication on both sides. Take timefor mediation rather than confrontation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be more patientwith those who seem unwilling to accept yourversion of what’s right. The fact is, there’s a lotmore to learn on all sides of this issue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It should be easierto assess the facts you’ll need to make an impor-tant decision. But don’t commit if you still havedoubts. There could be more you need to know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your excitementlevel remains high as you continue working onthat new project. Expect some setbacks. But onthe whole, all will move pretty much on schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It mightbe wise to be more prudent with expenses rightnow. But your financial situation should soonclear up, and you could be back shopping, happi-ly as ever.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You mightprefer sticking with your current schedule. Butsome newly emerging information could per-suade you to consider a change. Keep an openmind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You mightwant to reject a suggested change. But it could bewise to go with the flow, at least for a while. Youcan always return to your first plan if you like.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) You’re bolsteredby both the practical and poetic sides of yournature as you maneuver through some unsettledemotional situations. Things ease up by week’send.
