The City of Shafter was the place to be last weekend for arts enthusiasts.

On Saturday, the day started early when participants gathered for the an-nual Colours Fun Run and Walk. The course started at Shafter High School

and went out into the orchards, with several stations along the way where the participants would get doused with blasts of color. By the finish line, ev-eryone displayed a rainbow of colors on their shirts, hair, face and even their pets.

For the car enthusiasts, a car show

was held on the south end of Mannel Park. Classic hot rods mingled with tricked out pickups and speedsters. The Shafter High School Jazz Band was on hand to entertain the music lovers in the crowd. Music Director Phillip Bustamante led the ensemble

The Fred Starrh Performing Arts Center at Shafter High School was packed on Fri-day morning, full of fourth- to sixth-grade students from all around the area as they listened to the music of the Shafter Sym-phony Orchestra. Led by conductor Ste-phen Penner, the ensemble introduced the students to a kind of music the majority had never had the chance to hear.

Students from Redwood, Golden Oak, Sequoia, Maple, Rio Bravo Greeley, North

Kern Christian and Buttonwillow schoolswere bused over to Shafter High for thespecial concert.

The asymphony is a group of local mu-sicians who gather several times a year to practice and then perform at different ven-ues. This time, they were preparing for theirperformance at the Shafter Colours Festi-val. The symphony is able to put on theseshows for the school children in big part thanks to a grant that was received from theKern Arts Council.

No need for large chain donut shops when you have such a special local shop that takes the time and care to do donuts right.

Shafter Donuts has been serving residents for over 20 years, and it keeps getting better as it changes with the city. The shop still has all of the popu-lar standards, such as glazed, cake and

jelly-filled donuts donuts, maple bars and twists.

And it keeps adding to its selection as the wants of customers continue to change.

Owner Kim Ten has operated the shop for over 20 years, and Manager Yinhkann Yen said that they still have the same personal service that they did back when Ten opened the business. Yen

Manager Yinhkann Yen said that they love the community of Shafter and are proud to serve them.

Golden Oak PTO held their annual Father/Daugh-ter Dance on Friday night at the Golden Oak cafeteria. This is the 10th year for the event.

The school cafeteria was decorated and looked like a formal dance ball room, with balloons and stream-ers, splashed with colorful centerpieces on the tables.

At the dance, the fa-thers came dressed in their Sunday best, along with their daughters, who were dressed in dresses, some with tiaras, ready to enjoy a special time. Principal Anamarie Mendez was the DJ for the evening and started off the dance with “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” This got the girls up and dancing, swatting the decorative balloons in the air, giving a rousing start to the night.

There was plenty of re-

freshments at the event for the fathers and daughters, who were were treated to a variety of food, snacks and drinks.

A photo booth was set up, letting all of the fa-thers and daughters get their picture taken together. To add to the moment, the couples could use a num-ber of props, including gi-ant glasses, bow ties and little signs. The girls and their dads went for different poses, from goofy disguises and faces, to touching “for-ever moment” poses.

Carlos Quezada was there with his daughter Ayleen and had fun posing for the camera. “This is a really great time,” Quezada said.

After a few warmup dances, the girls were put through the paces when Mendez put on the “Chick-en Dance.” The fathers laughed and watched the girls move to the song that

has become a dance stan-dard.

Jessica Carrillo Pompa, one of the organizers of the event, said: “This is such a great time for the fathers and daughters to have some

special time together. They can dance, eat, talk and have some quality time that

they will remember for a long time.”

The PTO holds several

events and fundraisers each year, raising funds for the students’ field trips, as well

as books and supplies. Theyalso hold a book fair everyyear and the Fall Carnival.

EDITOR’S NOTE | Jamie Stewart

I wrote an editorial last month that was really tough for me. We had lost our dog TJ, leaving a big hole in my heart that I didn’t think would ever get filled again. When we first lost him, I didn’t even want to think about getting another dog. People would tell me that getting another dog would be the best thing for me. I couldn’t imagine ever having to go through that again. It hurt so much that I couldn’t think about it.

I would look around the house, or even do small things like taking out the trash, and realize that he was not there to trail behind me, saying hi to his doggie friends in the alley on our way to the trash bin. I thought long and hard about how to heal. I finally realized that the love we had was still there, just waiting to help another dog who was in need of a good home, just like TJ was when we first laid eyes on each other at the shelter. Through a lot of praying, I realized that it was okay to think about giving that love to another needy soul, giving him or her a chance of a better life.

I was looking on Craigslist, waiting for that “ah ha” moment, one that would let me know that I was doing the right thing. Well, that moment came the other day. I saw a brindle puppy, with the look in the face like TJ when he was a younger puppy. The ad said that she was five months old and needing a new home. I talked to my wife and she told me that we could go get her. She was in Tulare. My son, Nick, and I headed to Tulare to pick her up. Nick wasn’t as sold as I was because he was actually hoping for

another boy. Well, all doubts were long gone after we met her. She came bounding up to us, covering us with kisses. The lady giving her up said that they just didn’t have the room or time for her. You could tell that she was in need of

attention and she was drinking it up big time. I couldn’t stop petting her and getting those kisses all

the way home. But, instead of being overjoyed, I was happyand sad at the same time. When I looked at her, I was happyfor another chance to have that special companion, but sad when I looked at her and thought of TJ. It all built up to the trip I made to Walmart to get Maggie the supplies that we would need for her.

I started crying on the way over there, actually talk-ing to TJ. I told him that I still missed him so much and that I would always love him. I almost felt guiltyfor getting another dog, in some ways feeling like I be-trayed that bond that we had. But, the more I thoughtand prayed, the more I realized that what we had wouldnever really be replaced. I told him that I would neverforget him and I know that I never will. But, when I look at my baby girl’s face, and see that tail wag and her big ears going up like little antennas on the top of her head,I know that there is room enough for her. I think that TJ would have just loved her, having a little sister to bossaround like he liked to do to his cousin, my older son’sdog Gunner.

I am so happy now, knowing that I will be able to even take the lessons that I learned having TJ in my life and be abetter companion than I was before. Thank you TJ for thememories. I still love you and always will. I thank God for you TJ and I also thank God for Maggie, this little girl thatI have fallen in love with already.

A chance to love again

Maggie is the newest member of the Stewart family.

From Page 1said that they begin preparing donuts and deli items at around 11 p.m. to be ready for their opening at 4 a.m.

Yes, that is right. Shafter Do-nuts has you covered if you might want something other than a deli-cious donut. They offer a variety of croissants filled with every-thing from egg and cheese, turkey and cheese, sausage, and ham and cheese. According to Yen, “Our most popular donut right now is still the glazed and the maple, and the ham and cheese croissant is very popular.” They also make

their own bagels, which come in a variety of flavors.

Yen said that they also are open for lunch and offer a menu including tuna, ham and cheese, roast beef and turkey, all of them served on their fluffy and buttery croissants.

Yen also mentioned that they listen to the customers and try to keep up with the trends and wants of the next generation. They now serve a great va-riety of smoothies and coffee drinks, as well as coffee, milk and juice. There is mocha, capacino, Thai tea, and one of the most trending drinks now, the boba drinks. They offer a va-

riety of the drinks dotted with pearls of tapioca.

The attraction of the shop has been a mutual one, Yen saying, “We love the city of Shafter and the people are so special. We love this community and they make it such a pleasure to be here.”

The city in turn flocks to the shop, enjoying the food and fellowship ev-ery morning. “I come here a lot. It’s not just for the great donuts and food and coffee, but also for the feeling of community,” said David Allison, who regularly makes the drive from the Rosedale area.

The Minter Field Air Museum always has a prominent guest speaker for their annual Founders Day Banquet, and this year is no exception. History-making test pilot Rachael Winiecki will be the featured speaker at this year’s event to be held next month.This past December, Winiecki became the first female pilot to complete an F-35 test mission. Adding to the historic ground-breaking event was the fact that there was a female crew chief,

Airman First Class Heather Rice. In a press release Winiecki stated, “I may be the first female developmental test pilot (in the F-35), but (test pilots) are just one small part of the test enterprise.” She then spoke of the increasing numbers of women working in the field as directors, engineers, maintenance workers and in other support functions. Winiecki, part of the 461st Flight Test Squadron, has also flown A-10 and F-16 aircrafts.

She graduated from the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Ed-wards Air Force Base. Ronald Pierce of the Minter Field Air Museum said that Major Winiecki is a pioneer in test flight history and they are honored to have her as their featured speaker. The Founders Day Banquet will be held on Friday, March 1, at Hodel’s on Knudsen Drive in Bakersfield. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will start at 6:45 p.m.

JAMIE STEWARTThe Shafter PressA change in leadership for the city has led to a refocusing on opportunities afforded youth and facilities the city has available for them to keep active. Steps have been taken to look at the current inventory of facilities and programs Shafter has and planning for the future. At a recent City Council meeting, Mayor Pro-Tem Cesar Lopez commented that the city is lacking when it comes to sports facili-ties Shafter has available, including having an

insufficient number of basketball courts.“In the entire city of Shafter, we have only one park that has basketball courts that can be used by the public,” Lopez observed.Rodriguez Park, where basketball courts are in need of some repair and refurbishing, is the lone park with courts. The majority of the schools, including Shafter High, have out-door basketball courts, but their facilities are fenced and not open to the public. The city has six parks within its city lim-its. There is Mannel Park, located on Mannel

A True Value in town

JAMIE STEWARTThe Shafter PressThere is a new hardware store in Shafter that opened up on Central Valley Highway, right next to Apple Mar-ket. True Value Hardware opened its doors on Feb. 1 and has been servicing the needs of Shafter residents since.The Mohsen family have called Shafter home for 20 years and have been serving the community since then. They have a market on Los Angeles Avenue named La Favorita that has been a mainstay of Shafter when it

comes food and beverage needs. Owner Abdula Mohsen and his family decided to ex-pand their businesses and open a store that would save the residents of Shafter a drive into Bakersfield. True Value has an inventory of items that will fit your needs when it comes to home projects. There is a complete inventory of paints, tools, parts for your home such as supplies for those electrical, plumbing and woodwork-ing projects. If you need keys, they have it covered. Needing supplies for your lawn and garden projects, you can check that off your list right here.In addition to an array of building and repair sup-plies, they also carry sporting goods, pet supplies -- even clothing., “We have a little of everything here and we are still adding inventory. We listen to the needs of the people and are working to fill all of those needs,”

The Kiwanis Club of Shafter recently hosted rep-resentatives from the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership program at Shafter High School. Beatriz Ricketts, the SHS sophomore coun-selor, and students Mia Or-tiz and Alejandro Andrade presented and explained the HOBY program.HOBY is a

nonprofit organi-zation that aims to inspire youth to be-come leaders and serve their com-munities with ded-ication, passion and innovation. The program was founded in 1958 by American ac-tor Hugh O’Brian, who believed in the potential of every hu-man being and was com-mitted to helping the youth of the world become major contributors to society. The HOBY program has spread to over 70 locations in all 50 states, and 19 countries.

Mia Ortiz, now a junior at the high school, was last year’s school representative to the HOBY State Leader-ship Seminar held at Cali-fornia Lutheran University in

Thousand Oaks. She shared her seminar experience with the Kiwanis Club members and said it taught her to rec-ognize her leadership talents and learn ways to sharpen and apply those skills at home, school and in her community. The program is specifi-cally designed for second-

year high school students; one student who shows leadership potential is cho-sen by the school adminis-tration to attend each year.Alejandro Andrade is this year’s SHS sophomore chosen to represent the school. The Kiwanis Club of Shafter is sponsoring Alejandro by covering the costs of attending the four-day HOBY State Leader-ship Seminar in June.

If you have ever gone to the Colours

Festival in Shafter, you are familiar with the

name Larry Starrh.

Starrh is one of the founding members

of the Colours event, together with a few

other art enthusiasts who believed that

Shafter would respond to an opportunity

to enjoy different forms of art, spread out

over a weekend, allowing art lovers with a

variety of tastes get their fill of local talent.

Starrh has always been interested in the

arts. Even when he was driving a tractor or

watering a field, the dream was still there,

waiting for an opportunity. Starrh worked

in the theater for a time before coming

back home to work the family’s farm. The

chance came with the festival, and Starrh

has been entertaining audiences with his

original works ever since.

Starrh has been producing original

shows for the event from its inception. They

have ranged from a hilarious play entitled

“Dangerous Curves,” a show depicting the

film noir era, complete with a hard-boiled

detective and a sexy damsel in distress, to a

touching and funny play called, “The Pew.”

This show told the tale of what happens

when a girl has the nerve to sit in a church

pew, usually occupied by a few church

One of the kings of fast food in Shafter

has to be Frosty King located on Central

Valley Highway, next to the City Hall build-

ings.Owner Sammy Ayash has been serving

the community for over a decade, keeping

his customers happy and satisfied.

Frosty King gained a following at its

original location on Central Valley High-

way, where the AM/PM minimart sits now.

When it was apparent the property was be-

ing sold, Hayash found a new location, and

the restaurant was built and opened in short

orderA big difference between the locations

was the New York Deli portion that was

added to the Frosty King family. The sand-

wiches are made fresh to order -- you ask

for it, and it will be built. The meats are top

quality, and the veggies are cut fresh daily.

Iff you are in the mood for a burger, fries

and a frosty milkshake, or you want a fresh

sandwich, you are covered here. Another

plus is the $1 large sodas.

The staff at Frosty King is very friendly

and treat you like family. They know you

by name, and know what regular custom-

ers want before you can order. There also

has been big additions to the menu. In addi-

tion to one of the best pastrami sandwiches

in town, they now offer a varied selection

The Shafter Police Department is steeped in history,

dating back to the 1930s. For a department that has been

around for so long, there was no presentation of that his-

tory until recently.

Chief Keith Zimmermann took over the department

two years ago, coming from the Kern County Sheriff’s

Department after 26 years. One project in his first year

in Shafter was the creation of the Shafter Police Depart-

ment Historical Committee. The group began collecting

artifacts from throughout the decades of the department’s

existence.“I was surprised that Shafter didn’t have any sort of

display or record of the rich history of this department,”

commented Zimmermann. “I decided that this would be

a great project to document the history of the depart-

ment and put this history on display.”

last month.focusing

on how often the city

Todd Leishman, of

the firm Best Best & Krieg-

Attorney’s office. During

discussion, different op-

City Council to address the

situation. One scenario had

the city attorney attending

every council meeting, no

PASTOR’S CORNER

DEATH NOTICE

PASTOR JIM NEAL“I do not think much of a

man who is notwiser today than he was

yesterday.” --Abraham Lin-coln

Doesn’t it seem as you look around, read the news-paper or listen to or watch the daily news that one of the key concepts missing in all of humanness is the quality of wisdom? A very old dictionary that I have in my position, actually the 1953 College Edition of Webster’s New World, de-fi nes wisdom in this way: “the quality of being wise; the power of judging rightly and following the soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experience, un-derstanding.”

As we watch and read the pundits of politics, economics, academia and even religion and measure them by Webster’s defi ni-tion, I must admit I wonder if they do base their words and actions by knowledge, experience and under-standing. Am I alone or biased to believe that it seems as though most de-cision of extreme impor-tance seems to be based on what is either socially and

politically advantageous or what appears to “feel good” at the moment of decision.

Where are the men and women of conviction and “backbone”? Those who are more headstrong on doing what is correct and expedient for the country, business, church or home. Men like President Lin-coln who stood for what was right and holy when many attacked him person-ally, not to mention politi-cally.

However, it is not just in leadership. I read a quote from a foreign dignitary who said the USA as a country can survive bad presidents and legislators for a season, but what we cannot survive a majority of constituents who are in-sistent on voting for lead-ers simply because of their party affi liation rather than their stand on issues of mor-al value or a vote that grants them more free money and benefi ts from the govern-ment.

Is there an answer or solution? Yes, a thousand times yes. Just a cursory glance into the Wisdom Lit-erature of Scriptures (Book

of Proverbs) provides us an answer…Proverbs 4:5:“Get wisdom! Get under-standing!...Proverbs 16:16:“How much better to get wisdom than gold! And toget understanding is to bechosen rather than silver.”A third example is found inchapter 19:8: “He who getswisdom loves his own soul;He who keeps understand-ing will fi nd good.” Those are just three as the entirebook of Proverbs is givento grant men and women wisdom and understandingin literally every aspect oflife.

Finally, a how to verse on wisdom is found in thebook of James chapter 1and verse 5; “If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God who will grant it liber-ally and without regard ofpersons….” And that is apromise for every decision,obstacle or problem youface today, tomorrow and forever. Re-read the old defi nition of wisdom from Webster and set your sightson being a man or woman of wisdom and watch yourworld become new.

Jim Neal is pastor ofthe First Southern BaptistChurch in Shafter.

Danny K. AllenJune 24, 1948 –

Jan. 15, 2019Danny Allen went to be

with the Lord on Jan. 15, 2019. Along this journey we call life, Danny made several lifelong friendships. Danny loved the Lord, his family, friends and country. He spent six years serving our country in the Army Reserves as a military po-liceman. He rarely worked a day in his life because he loved what he did. He spent over 40 years as a pest con-trol operator in Kern and Tulare counties.

When he wasn’t farm-ing, he would head to the beach with his family. You could also find him spend-

ing time at the Elks Lodge watching NASCAR or foot-ball. He believed in the mis-sion of the Elks and served as exalted ruler for two years.

Danny would often per-form quiet deeds of giving to local charities, family and friends in their time of need. He believed the Lord blessed him, and he tried to

pass it onto others. He leaves behind heavy

hearts of family and many lifelong friends. Survived by his wife, Bunny; chil-dren Candace, Keith (Cyn-thia), Holly (James); grand-children Haley, Danika and Aspen; mother Lucille; brothers Kenny (Debbie), Marty (Pam), and several nieces and a nephew.

A private celebration of life will be held in the spring.

The students realize that they recognize the opening notes of the “Star Wars” theme.

Symphony performs for kidsThis year, the Shafter Symphony cel-

ebrated the silver screen with several pieces from famous movies. All of the school dis-tricts that had students attend this year for this special event do not have orchestra pro-grams at their respective schools. With that, concerts such as these might be the only exposure they get to classical music.

With the students waiting quietly for the concert to begin, not knowing what to ex-pect, the faces lit up on the students as the familiar opening stanzas of the “Star Wars” theme was played. The kids did not expect to know any of the songs that were going to be played, but most recognized almost all of the pieces played at this concert.

After the Star Wars theme, conductor

Penner introduced all of the instruments and showed an example of what the different in-struments sound like. One by one, the sec-tions played a few bars, showing the students how each one produces sounds differently.

After the demonstration, an ominousthree notes played from the bass section.Kids recognized it as the start of the “Jaws” theme. The entire orchestra played their part, making the song build to a dramatic conclusion.

There were two separate groups on Fri-day morning, with a total of 1,500 students in attendance to listen to the symphony. The symphony followed up the two perfor-mances with a sold-out performance at the same venue on Saturday night as part of the Colours Festival.

Colours paints the arts – and morethrough a set of classics, from swing band tunes to oldies.

Chili was on the menu at the park as the Annual Chili Cookoff was held. There were competitors in different categories, with entries ranging from mild to super hot. Team Scooter, headed up by City Manager Scott Hurlbert, returned to the event with their recipe, designated on the hot side of the scale. There were several varieties that suited whatever your every taste.

With the music, chili and cars, it was a satisfying afternoon at the park. “Every year I like to come to the park to listen to some great music, sample some good chili and this year they had the awesome cars down here. It was a blast,” said Michael Latham. “I actually live in Bakersfield, but I love coming to Shafter for this event. It is neat having so many things to do all in one

place.”For those looking to entertain their chil-

dren over the weekend, the Children’s Art Workshop was held at the Shafter Youth Center. Kids had the chance to get some hands-on assistance, letting them create a work of art that they could take home to their families. Artist Nicole St. John helped the children bring their vision to the canvas. The works were then put on display for all attendees to see.

Randel McGee and Groark returned to Shafter this year and played to a packed house at the Church of Christ on Saturday afternoon. McGee is an internationally known puppeteer that has been entertaining audiences throughout the world. McGee is also the recipient of the Citation for Out-standing Achievement in the Art of Puppet-ry Award, which was founded by Muppets creator Jim Henson.

McGee uses a mix of stand-up comedy, witty banter, original songs and hilarious storytelling to appeal to young and old alike. For high school and adult film en-thusiasts who would rather be part of the action than watching it, there was the Film Making Experience held at the Police De-partment meeting room. The workshop gave attendees the chance to learn what it takes to make a movie. Participants learned how to work a dolly, lighting, casting, editing and lighting. The work-shop was put on by the Christian Youth Film Society. It was a hands-on experi-ence in movie making.

This year, the Meet the Author event was held at the Shafter Learning Center and featured local historian Stan Wilson. Wil-

son gave an informational and entertain-ing presentation about the life and history of Shafter’s namesake, General WilliamShafter. Wilson told of how the general,who had virtually no military experience,led his troops and became one of the maincontributors to the nation’s military history.

With the weekend full of events, there was something for just about any inter-est and taste. The success of the Festivaldepends on the support of the attendees and the hard work and dedication of com-munity volunteers. Attendee Carol Lithropcommented, “It is kind of sad to see the artskind of fading in today’s world. Things likethis weekend give people a chance to see so many kinds of art that we might not have anywhere else.”

A packed house was at the Shafter Learning Center on Saturday to hear Stan Wilson give a presentation on the town’s namesake, Gen. William R. Shafter.

As part of the Shafter Colours Festival, each year an author gives a presentation that informs the attend-ees about their works. Wilson is the curator of the Shafter Depot Museum and has written many pieces about the city’s history that have been published in the Historical Society’s newsletters.

Wilson prepared his presentation using a book documenting the life of Shafter written by Paul Carlson. Wilson also has given several presen-

tations, including an informative ses-sion on the Dust Bowl era, which was also at the Shafter Learning Center.

Wilson said that Shafter was a Civil War veteran who was commis-sioned in the regular Army after the war as a lieutenant colonel. He spent 15 years leading the Colored Infantry as they sought to protect West Texas from Indians and Mexican and Ameri-can bandits. Colonel Shafter was then transferred to Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. “Shafter was then pro-moted to brigadier general and given command of the Presidio at San Fran-cisco.,” Wilson added.

Shafter was then promoted to ma-jor general when the Spanish Ameri-can War was declared, being selected

to lead the invasion force. This deci-sion was made in spite of the fact that Shafter was 63 years old at the time, weighed over 300 pounds and suffered from gout. “It is believed that one rea-son for his selection might have been his lack of political ambitions,” Wil-son commented,

Shafter forced the surrender of the Spanish at Santiago, Cuba, in a short time and became a national hero. Wil-son said that Shafter retired to a farm south of Bakersfield, next to the ranch of his son-in-law, William McKittrick in 1901. He died in 1906.

A siding on the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad was named in his honor in 1898. That siding was later to become the town of Shafter.

The Shafter Veterans Hall was the site of the Colours Festival Art Gallery, with a dozen local artists displaying their works. There was a great variety of mediums, from flower arrangements to 3D paintings.

Among the artists was Colleen Diltz. Diltz is a veteran photographer who has displayed pieces for several years at the Co-lours event. Each year, Diltz shows a col-lection of her photos that were taken in dif-ferent locales. This year, Diltz had pictures from her travels throughout the world.

There was a stunning photo of an older woman puffing on a cigar. This photograph was taken while she was in Cuba. “I spent a month there, seeing the culture and sites from this intriguing country. It was a lot dif-ferent than I thought it would be.”

Also in her collection, she has a glow-ing photo of a firebreather that was taken at sunset during a show at the annual fes-tival at Key West, Fla. One of her favorites of the collection on display was a picture taken here in the Central Valley. The photo is of a Kerman High football player, laid out trying to make a tackle. She captured

the player diving in the air, body outstretched, arm bloody, the image frozen before con-tact was made.

Also on display was an “in me-moriam” collec-tion by Colleen’s mother, Nancy Diltz. The pieces were of beautiful flowers and plants that Colleen said were from her mother’s back-yard. My mother and a friend of hers would sit out in her backyard and paint and draw. It was a tradition with them,” she said,

Former Richland School District Trust-ee Steve Mann had some woodworks on display at the gallery. “I make these mu-sic boxes out of different kinds of wood,”

Mann said,. “How long the project takes depends on the typed of wood and how intricate the design is. I have been doing a lot of these boxes for wedding gifts.”

Mann also had on display a piece with the Mann name on it, carved out of a big piece of wood and fin-ished to a shiny surface. “This doesn’t seem like work to me. I just

enjoy working with the wood and creating something out of it.”

On Sunday there was a Wine Tasting and Meet the Artist event. Each artist was there to answer any questions that the attendees had about their different collections. They shared how each artist goes about their cre-

ation process differently For some, such asDiltz, it is the challenge of capturing that special moment in time, freezing that emo-tion, displaying it for all to see. For artistssuch as Mann, Mary Brooks, and DeannaNelson, the process is one that takes time, patience, and a steady hand as they put their vision that is in their mind, onto the canvas.Brooks was featured last year at the festi-val for the first time. “I took an art class forsomething to do a couple of years ago andfound that I really liked it,” said Brooks. Brooks has among her collection a stunningpiece of a tiger and another of a dancer that is on pointe, frozen in ready position.

Many of the attendees were surprised by the amount of local talent there wasat the show. Mark Youslin was at the gal-lery with his wife, Linda, and commented,“You really don’t realize how many talentedpeople there are in the area until you go tosomething like this. They might have jobs as salespeople, farmers, teachers, officeworkers. But, they have that desire to cre-ated something, and this is a great way to let them do it.”

THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notifi ed that a negative credit report refl ecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfi ll the terms of your credit obligations. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-sidering 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 bid-der 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 con-tacting the county recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult ei-ther 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, benefi ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law re-quires that information about trustee sale postponements be made avail-able 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 (800) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome.com, using the fi le number assigned to this case 18-20950. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immedi-ately be refl ected in the telephone in-formation or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the sched-uled sale.

HOW T O A DVERTISE E FFECTIVELY AND E CONOMICALLY

Our s ales representatives are pleased to help you compose the most effective ad at a minimum cost. Here are two key points to remember about your ads: 1 . If it’s an item you’re selling, remember to include as much information as possible The more potential buyers know about the item you have for sale , the more interest they have in calling you. 2 . Our reputation for Classi-fi ed Advertising results is ex-cellent. But not every potential buyer will read your ad on the same day. The majority of our private party advertisers take advantage of our discount rates. This simply means that you order your ad for two con-secutive issues, but should you get the results you desire before the ad has expired, you may call and cancel the ad and be refunded for the days the ad did not appear. Except for GR - - no refunds or chan-ges accepted.

COPY ACCEPTANCEThe Shafter Press and Wasco Tribune reserves the right to revise, reclassify, edit,, reject or cancel any ad at any time for any reason.

DEADLINES For Private Party Advertisers to order, correct or cancel an ad, the deadline for The Shaf-ter Press and Wasco Tribute is NOON FRIDAY.

GENERAL POLICY1. Rates and deadlines sub-ject to change without notice.2. The Shafter Press and Wasco Tribune make every effort to avoid errors in adver-tisements. Each ad is carefully read back for approval. Ho-wever, mistakes sometimes slip through. We ask that you check your ad carefully. If you should fi nd an error, report it to the Classifi ed Department right away by calling 661-292-5100 and asking for Classifi ed. We regret that we cannot be responsible for more than one incorrect publi-cation if you do not call the er-ror to our attention. The Shaf-ter Press and Wasco Tribune cannot be liable for an amount greater than the amount paid for such advertising.

It was this time last year that America got a huge wakeup call with our “recy-cling.” China implemented their “national sword” -- oth-erwise known as the “China Ban” where they completely shut down accepting all U.S. recycling materials for an en-tire month. A year later, some may ask where we are now.

The tone has been set from last year. After the month-long shut down, things very slowly started to pick back up, but with stricter enforce-ment on contamination. For what used to be acceptable to send a recycling load with 10 percent contamination was

dropped to .05 percent al-lowable contamination on re-cycling. Containers rejected at the port. Even entire ship loads sent back.

What does this mean for the consumer? Keeping our blue carts clean, without c ontaminating the loads with cloths, Household Hazard-ous Waste, shoes, diapers, electronics, dirty plastics (liquids still in them), dirty tin cans (food left in them/unrinsed), and plastic bags, amongst many other things we fi nd in the recycling can that don’t belong there. The blue can is not meant to be an extra trash can. It is meant to

take items out of the waste stream that can be made into something useable again in-stead of unnecessarily fi lling up our landfi lls.

After the blue cart leaves your curb, it travels to a ma-terial recovery facility. Items are then dumped out and sorted through a conveyer system where “good recy-clable items” are handpicked out by staff. The recyclable items are then baled and sent to recycling manufacturing companies to be made into something new again.

When consumers mis-place items in the blue cart that don’t belong, it im-pedes the process, making it harder on the MRF staff that must pick through the items. Imagine trying to get card-

board off a conveyor with a smashed TV on it.

Another issue that comes up is when consumers put “dirty” items in the recy-cling container. That can contaminate other items, causing them to go into the trash versus being recycled. For example, when a con-sumer doesn’t rinse a tin can and food drips all over a cardboard shipping box, the recyclers can’t do anything with the dirty products. The cardboard now cannot go to the paper plant to be made into something else. The tin can will most likely be re-jected for being dirty, and it now causes other items to be contaminated in your cart.

CURRENT ACCEPT-ABLE ITEMS:

Plastics: Code 1 (water and soft drink bottles) and Code 2 (milk jugs)

Paper products: card-board, magazines, newspa-pers, cereal boxes, direct mail, phone books.

Metals: aluminum cans, steel cans, tin cans (soup cans, veggie cans, coffee cans), foil and bakeware (only if rinsed and clean of food debris)

Glass: clear (fl int), brown (amber), green (emerald) glass

Cereal boxes are okay as long as the plastic lining is taken out of the box (card-board box is good). Plastic inside is nonrecyclable and is considered contamination.

Cardboard with plastic around it (water bottles with cardboard trays) need to be separated. Plastic goes in

the trash. Cardboard goes into the recycling. Staff at a MRF cannot separate these on a conveyor belt. NONACCEPTED ITEMS:

Code 3 (PVC): dish-washing detergent bottles, window cleaners

Code 4 (LDPE): dry-cleaning bags, frozen food bags, bread wrappers, squeezable bottles

Code 5 (PP): yogurt con-tainers, syrup bottles, catsup bottles

Code 6 (PS): Items made from polyurethane (Sty-rofoam) foam-type coffee cups, foam-type egg car-tons, foam-type plates

Code 7 (other): items made from Nylon, bags, 5-gallon water bottles
