REGISTER, REGISTER, REGISTER to vote
Consider absentee ballots to assure your voice is heard!
All elections are important, but this election of 2004 is VERY important. Please be sure that you are
ready to exercise your vote, and then vote when the time comes.
First. are you registered? are you sure you are registered? Call your county’s election office to double
check if you have some feeling you may not be. (The telephone numbers are below.)
Second. If you are not registered, call 1.800.345.VOTE, and a state registration form will be mailed to
you.
You also can register online. Just write in the words Voter Registration plus your County’s name, and
you will be on your way. Also, you may well be able to find forms at the post office, your local library and
the DMV.
Fill in the registration form and return as soon as possible. You should receive a notice by mail that you
are registered to vote. If you do not receive the notice within three weeks of mailing, call your County
Elections office, and ask if you are registered.
In California, the deadline to register to vote for an election is 15 days before each local and statewide
election day, so please register early!
Third. Absentee Ballots—they are wonderful to use. After you have registered you can call your election
office and request RIGHT NOW that you want to receive an absentee ballot. They will keep your name and
send the ballot out when it is in its final form, with all candidates’ names, initiatives, etc.
Why use the absentee ballot? If you vote by absentee ballot there is no chance of losing your vote
because an unexpected emergency occurred or an opportunity to travel to Antarctica came up to keep you
from going to the polls. And just think—no standing in line waiting to vote.
Fourth. When your ballot arrives, fill it out as soon as possible. Be sure to follow all directions
carefully, including signing it! Then just pop it in the mail. It must be received on or before election day in
order to have your vote counted. After that, all you have to do is sit back and relax and listen to the returns
on election night, knowing that you have done your part.
Fifth. If you are not using an absentee ballot, be sure to check as to the location of your polling place,
and then be sure to VOTE.

Kaweah Group Sponsors Wildflower Hike at SCICON Diane Jetter
The following is a description of a Sierra Club hike at SCICON led by Rick Mitchell Saturday morning at 9:00, April 24th.
Members of the Sierra Club, along with visitors from the Central Coast, hiked along one of the many inviting trails at the
science camp that is familiar to many 6th graders in the Tulare County area. The Sierra Club, as one of its nature outings,
had invited Rick to lead their walk.
We couldn't have picked a more perfect morning for a wildflower hunt with SCICON
director, Rick Mitchell. There were wildflowers everywhere! The hike began in a field of tall
yellow and blue beauties which were immediately identified by Rick as members of the lily

2. 2 THE ROADRUNNER
family, wild hyacinth (blue dicks), yellow star of Bethlehem (also pretty face) and ithuriel
spears, probably named for mythical guardian angels. As we moved along the trail, we next saw
two members of the forget-me-not family: fiddleneck and popcorn flowers. Every one of our
senses was alerted as we walked—we felt a pleasant and cool breeze, the morning light filtered
through the trees, Bear Creek rippled along the path, and the scent of wild roses occasionally
wafted through the air.
You know those uncomfortable corkscrews that get in your socks and drive you crazy?
They come from a surprisingly sweet little plant growing low to the ground called fillaree, or
stork’s bill. As we passed a large patch of non-native blackberry bushes, we came to several
fields of yellow medea, mixed with the incredibly interesting fairy lanterns, also from the lily
family, that seem to prefer shaded areas and are able to self-pollinate. Also very much in
abundance were the blue fiesta flower, with sticky leaves that several of us chose to wear as
natural ornaments on our t-shirts.
We learned that native bumblebees like to visit and pollinate the Chinese lanterns/houses/
pagodas (snapdragon family)—attracted mysteriously by their color and light. A black lizard
slithered up an oak tree as we passed. Soon we crossed the Soda Springs Bridge, which had
been washed away and sturdily rebuilt by four members of the Navy Seabees about four years
ago. Nestled under and behind grasses and shrubs were occasional Indian pinks, Rick pointed
out a large packrat nest in one of the trees, A little farther on, we saw the delicate lace pod
(mustard family). As we rounded a corner, we noticed the horns of a small cow. We hesitated a
moment, until Rick assured us it was “friendly.” When it wandered off, we decided it must
have been meditating on the last blossom of a wild rose that overlooked the river. An inter-
esting pink flower was identified as the twining snake lily, climbing its way up a rosebud tree.
Rick led us to a high spot where we had a bird’s eye view of two very large buckeye trees,
just ready to burst into bloom. At Dead Man’s Falls, we sat under a tree and were entertained
by Rick’s stories of cows and coyotes who slipped on the slick, angled granite face and fell to
their gruesome deaths below. Patches of fur caught on the barbed wire fence at the top and
bleached bones on the lower ground made his stories pretty convincing. Two ravens, irritated
by our presence, flew from their nest just above our heads and were close enough that we
could hear the flapping of their wings.
As we neared the end of the hike, we admired a beautiful wildflower display case that had
been designed and built by a SCICON staff member, and we were able to test our memories by
trying to identify the flowers that were picked and tagged so far this spring. All of us agreed
that this morning had been a special gift, not only for our own experience, but in knowing that
children throughout the County have the good fortune to be able to learn about the intricacies
of nature in a lovely and peaceful setting such as this.
This sign was displayed at the visitor’s center, a perfectly apt way to summarize the day:
Whenever we try to pick anything out by itself, we find it hitched to
everything else in the universe. John Muir

3. THE ROADRUNNER 3
From the Chair
Here are a few questions for you:
1. How many Sierra Club members voted in the last National election?
2. How did the Kern-Kaweah Chapter do in the last Sierra Club election?
3. How many legal challenges has Kern-Kaweah attempted since April of 2003?
4. Why do you need to participate in our local “house parties?”
5. Did they cut and remove the dying non-Sequoia trees in The Trail of 100 Giants?
Answer no. 1. This was a surprise to me when I first heard it. Only 60% of all 700,000
members voted in 2000. We hope to change that figure in November 2004. You can register
“on-line” or pick up a form at the Post Office. Perhaps we all need to help folks understand the
responsibility of voting.
Answer no. 2. The highest Chapter participation in the past National Sierra Club was our
own K-K, another fact that surprised me. We may be small, one of the 10 smallest chapters in
the nation, but we are involved. Thanks to all of you who participated.
Answer no. 3. Since April, 2003 Gordon Nipp has led us in appeals of land use decisions in
Bakersfield City areas. There are eight that were settled out of court and one more in the appeal
process. The result is mitigation money for air clean-up.
Answer no. 4. What I refer to as “house parties” are informal gatherings in members’ homes
during the summer. This is part of “Engaging Our Members,” and we will invite some of you
who usually don’t come out for our activities to visit in a home in your neighborhood.
Some of you are familiar with the book “Bowling Alone.” In the Sierra Club we are trying
to get back to the fast fading art of communication and will be discussing environmental topics
important to us all.
Answer no. 5. No, the dead trees are still there. Our Sequoia activists have all made a to-do
about the need to leave snags and logs on the forest floor. The health of many creatures
depends on downed wood, and that affects the food chain and water run-off. Nature does not
clean up the forest and we don’t want to do that either.
On another note, I just returned from the last National Sierra Club Board meeting in May and
have picked up lots of tidbits about the Club. Also, Ara Marderosian and I attended the
California Convention this week. At the Convention we elect a board that directs our state
lobbying office in Sacramento. We learned lots of interesting data on bills moving through to
the Governor. Please do check your Roadrunner for upcoming trips for your summer enjoy-
ment and join us at our Group meetings in your community. Lorraine Unger
Visalia: UNNECESSARY SPRAWL CONTINUES TO SPREAD. ANTIDOTE?
CONTINUED ACTION BY ALERT CITIZENS.
It has always been a challenge, particularly in California. There is no real state plan for
development; counties and cities set up plans and then exceptions to the rules seem to be the
rule. Some say we must be flexible, but with what appears to be the perpetual bow to in-
dividual property owners’ “rights,” the common interests are often blown away in the winds.
Now Visalia is having its turn with autos. A developer wants to build a 72-acre auto mall on
Rte 99 on land that is zoned for agriculture. The city has a statement concerning open space
and recreation that supposedly included this land and would not have allowed this develop-
ment. A judge first upheld this. Now the judge has changed his mind, based on new arguments
concerning map updates and need to update the general plan, thus allowing the development
to go forward.
And here is where watchdog groups come into play. Thank goodness for them. A group in
Visalia, which includes several Sierra Club members, has decided to raise the money to appeal
this decision to a district court and work for a second time to collect signatures to put the

4. 4 THE ROADRUNNER
question on the ballot.
It sometimes seems endless. One wearies in attempting to protect resources that should be
held inviolate in terms of protecting and enhancing the quality of life for all. To award a
prospective auto mall permission to build outside the already designated zoning for auto sales
seems decidedly unfair to the auto dealers who have followed the rules. This certainly cannot
be considered a fair decision.
We can’t all be out in front in every battlefield, but there are things everyone can do besides
giving moral support. Talking to friends to sign petitions, writing letters to the newspaper, and
yes, giving a dollar or more when possible to help those who find no alternative except to go to
court. Remember that fees to file appeals can be $500 to $1000 or more.
You can call Richard Garcia for further information, 559.592.9865
More power to you, Mineral King Group members who are taking it upon yourselves to go
ever further to protect your community from further—you know the word—SPRAWL.
Three Rivers Student Wins Sierra Club Scholarship
The Sierra Club presents to 10 deserving high school graduates a Sierra Nevada Scholarship
each year, a sum of $1,000 per year for four years. The scholarships are awarded to students
who live in communities of no more than 10,000 population in the Sierra Nevada, including
students who commute to high schools in the Central Valley.
This year, our Chapter has a recipient from Three Rivers, Woodlake High School student
Dena Marie Read. The Scholarship was personally presented to Dena on May 24, 2004 during
the Woodlake High School Awards and Scholarship Night by Kern-Kaweah Chapter volunteer
Harold Wood. The scholarship certificate was accompanied by a t-shirt and gift membership in
the Sierra Club donated by Joe and Bugs Fontaine.
The goal of the Sierra Club in offering these scholarships is to stimulate the thinking of
young people who will carry the responsibility for the future of their communities. The
scholarship encourages them to consider how to maintain sustainable and stable economies for
the small towns and rural areas of the Sierra Nevada, identifying environmental problems and
suggesting possible solutions.
This year’s scholarship recipient submitted a winning essay on Air Quality in Three Rivers.
In her essay, Dena remarked on the irony of a small country town in the foothills of the
Sequoia/ Kings Canyon National Park having some of the worst air quality in the Central
Valley. She identified a variety of causes, including automobile emissions, agricultural spraying,
prescribed burning, and others. She noted, “The main side effect of the bad air quality is that a
large percentage of people have asthma. There are many children and adults living in Three
Rivers that have asthma and carry an inhaler around with them; even the people who do not
have asthma suffer from the air condition.”
Dena observed that even with the bad condition of the air, “gas guzzling” cars are being
continually produced. Dena asked, “Why aren‘t there more environmentally friendly cars
being produced? Some of the technology is here, but it is not being used as it could be. Why
don’t we use the technology that we have and develop new and better technology to produce
‘kinder cars?’ Changing tax policies to favor environmentally kind cars instead of ‘gas
guzzlers’ should also be used to encourage the ownership of these cars.”
We can only hope that our legislators and air quality officials will sit up and take notice that
this new generation will demand the environmental improvements that Dena wrote about so
well!

NOTES FROM AROUND THE CHAPTER
The Buena Vista Group had a potluck meeting May 16 at the home of Glenn and Joann Shell-
cross, and plans were made to have another potluck at Yocuts Park in late September or early
October, depending on weather. We have reinstated our adopt-a-highway program and will be
scheduling our highway clean-ups every other month. Please give us ideas as to indigenous
plants, preferably flowering plants, that might grow along this arid stretch of highway. As long
as we are out there, maybe we could find a place for plants here and there
Sequoia Task Force reported that the plan for Sequoia Monument was appealed. There has
been no response at this writing. If the response is negative, the Sequoia Task Force and others
are planning to take the ruling to court.
Condor Group has been dealing with the Kern County General Plan, a water extraction project
proposed for Gorman Hills, and the Notice of Preparation for Centennial. Centennial is the
housing project proposed for the south side of the Tejon Ranch on HWY 138. 23,000 homes
are proposed for this site.
Lobby Day—it is not too late to sign up!
Sierra Club California will be holding another Lobby Day on August 9th with a training on
August 8th. If you are interested in attending, contact: Marianne Batchelder at: batchelder
@sierraclub-sac.org or Pat Veesart at: veesart@sierraclub-sac.org. Space is filling up, so let us
know soon if you are interested. We are especially interested in having folks from the Los
Angeles area and the San Joaquin Valley.
Celebrate the Sierra Club. LECONTE MEMORIAL LODGE CENTENNIAL
Please join us in Yosemite National Park for our Centennial Celebration, as we celebrate the
physical and spiritual home of the Sierra Club in Yosemite National Park, the LeConte
Memorial Lodge. Just put the words LeConte Memorial Lodge in your search engine and you
will find the site. There you will find not only the information about the Fourth of July
celebration but programs for the remaining summer period, the history of the site, and more. If
you visit Yosemite, you will surely want to include a visit to the Lodge.
Sierra Club Election Figures: Total returns by Internet = 45,559. Total returns by mail =
126,016. Total returns by fax = 41. Total returns = 171,616. Total ballots mailed = 757,058.
returned = 22.67% voting participation. The strong trend downward in percentage of our
members who vote was dramatically reversed this election cycle. The figure this year was
22.67%; 2003 was 8.71%, 2002 was 9.51%. Our election vendor thinks this election might
have been the biggest public interest election ever. There were two and one-half times as many
votes as there were last year. Help to get this kind of vote in November.

7. THE ROADRUNNER 7
Midgebuzzings
It was haircut day. I sat, as usual, in the padded swivel chair and chatted with the lady
wielding the scissors, exchanging the pleasantries that enliven an otherwise hum drum routine.
She keeps the radio on country music, and “Harper Valley PTA” was playing just loud enough
for me to follow it, which was no trouble since both our brains were only modestly employed
by the conversation.
A slight motion caught my eye. I looked down at the floor, and there, moving laboriously in
our direction, was a beetle. He seemed to be swimming more than walking because he could get
very little traction on the glazed tile, but he was making progress, apparently under the illusion
that this was the way out.
What I felt in that instant was familiar. “Kathy,” I said, “don’t move your foot. There’s a
beetle, and I’m going to take him outside.” The snipping stopped abruptly. I got out of the
chair, picked up the beetle and walked out with him. He wrapped his legs around my finger in
the same way a June bug does, with multiple painless barbs ensuring security. “Don’t worry,
little guy,” I said. “I’m going to put you down where you can get a purchase and go on with
your life.” I returned and the haircut proceeded. Kathy is a sensible person and doesn’t ruffle
easily. That’s why I like her so much, besides the fact that she’s a very good barber.
That beetle, struggling in what could have been a hopeless environment, has been on my
mind all week, not because of his situation, of which I’ll refrain from making a metaphor, but
because of my response. What I felt was a kind of visceral sympathy, almost as if, for an instant,
I had ceased to be myself and had become the beetle.
Many times in my life something similar has happened. One of the most outstanding
occurred in a cafeteria-style restaurant years ago where a friend and I had gone for supper.
Sitting at a nearby table were two men, one well dressed and the other old and obviously poor.
The shabby man was almost toothless, but he ate his mashed potatoes and meatloaf with such
astonishing pleasure that I was hard put not to stare. When he had finished he looked up with
shining eyes at his kindly companion and said, “Now that’s what I call a real meal!” Once
again, I seemed to become that toothless and probably homeless man. The memory is both
painful and beautiful. Through him I felt myself connected with all humanity, suffering and
redeemed.
One of the earliest of these experiences happened when I was about six and my brother was
going on ten. My mother had taken us to Los Angeles for our annual Christmas shopping trip
at Sears and Roebuck. While Mother shopped we wandered through the Christmas crowd,
heady with the promises of the season. Suddenly a little boy, clutching candy in both hands,
and with his cheeks bulging, came rushing up to us. “Santa Claus will give you free candy!”
he said. What a generous impulse that was, and I started to respond in kind. But my brother,
always decorous, even as a child, said something curt about talking with one’s mouth full. I felt
the insult mine, as if I had become the rejected boy.
What is the boundary that separates one being from another? Is there really such a boundary
at all? About that I will write next time. Ann Williams
This seems to be the year of plans. Kern Kaweah Chapter has been dealing with the Sequoia
Monument Management Plan and the General Plan for Kern County. Now coming up is a new
twenty-year management plan for Los Padres National Forest and the three other southern
California National Forests. Responses to this plan must be in by August 11th. Not quite in our
territory but of great interest to many is the Sequoia and King’s Canyon National Parks
proposed plan. Issued May 7, 90 days is allowed for comments. The latter two plans can be
found on the web, and comments may be submitted via email.
