Twilight at CALM features free ice cream — July 26

What could be better than free admission to the zoo and complimentary ice cream? That’s exactly what is in store for children, ages 3-17, who visit Twilight at CALM (located between Lake Ming and Hart Park), July 26, from 5:30-8 p.m.

As a way of contributing to the community, La Rosa Fruit Bars & Ice Cream, Inc. will be giving away free ice cream to all the children who attend the California Living Museum that evening.

Visitors will also be treated to a wildlife presentation and a scavenger hunt for the kids. The Central California Children’s Railroad will be running with tickets priced at only $1 per person.

CALM has cared for animals that have been injured or otherwise cannot survive in their native environment for 25 years. For information, call 661-872-2256 or visit the Web site at http://www.calmzoo.org.

Exciting changes at CALM

Weekends at the California Living Museum (CALM) just got more exciting. Wildlife presentations are now scheduled four times on Saturdays (including Twilight at CALM) and three times on Sundays. CALM Animal Keepers focus on mammals, birds of prey or reptiles during individual presentations, providing visitors with up close and personal experiences with the animals.

During Twilight at CALM on Saturdays, the Curator of Animals conducts a lively, hour-long show introducing visitors to a large variety of animals ranging from tarantulas to baby skunks. Presentations are entertaining, and everyone leaves a little more knowledgeable about the wildlife around them.

The Central California Children’s Railroad is on track for rides Saturdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; during Twilight at CALM, and Sundays 1-4 p.m. This is not a kiddie train ride — adults enjoy it as much as children. Tracks run east of the zoo and during the eight minute ride passengers get a great view of the Kern River with frequent glimpses of wildlife in their natural habitat. Train tickets are only $1.

CALM is located at 10500 Alfred Harrell Highway (between Lake Ming and Hart Park). For more information, call 661-872-2256 or visit our Web site at http://www.calmzoo.org.

The Shenandoah Spy BOOK SIGNING

Francis Hamit will sign and speak about and possibly read from THE SHENANDOAH SPY, his exciting new novel about Confederate Army spy and scout Belle Boyd. Belle was a 17-year-old girl in Martinsburg, Virginia in July 1861 when she shot a Union Army soldier who invaded her home and assaulted her mother. She was aquitted on justifiable homicide. Her passionat advocacy for the South led her to become a Confederate Army nurse, courier, scout and spy. As a spy she worked mostly from her uncle's hotel in Front Royal which had been taken over by the Union Army as its headquarters. Her affair with a Union staff officer allowed her to discover Union Army plans to trap Stonewall Jackson's Army. She made a 15-mile ride in the dead of night to find and alert Colonel Turner Ashby of the 7th Virginia Cavalry to the plan. A few days later, at the Battle of Front Royal, she ran across the battlefield under fire to deliver further intelligence to Stonewall Jackson. For this and other deeds she became the first woman in American history to be formally commissioned an army officer. Although this narrative is presented as fiction, it is based upon real people and events and provides insights not just into the early Civil War, but also military intelligence operations and the way that guerrilla armies operate.

Mr. Hamit is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop who once served in Military Intelligence. He lives in Kern County. The book is a trade paperback at $18.95 and is available at Russo's Books and other fine book stores.

Lipizzaner Stallions

2008 represents the 38th Anniversary season of The Lipizzaner Stallions. All new music, choreography and routines have been incorporated in this anniversary edition with a major emphasis on the historical background and foundation of the Lipizzaner breed, from its original breeding and use as a horse of war to a horse of nobility and aristocracy to a living form of equestrian art. The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, in its presentation of Lipizzans, and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna.

Also included in the performance is a segment called the "Airs Above the Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art. When you see the Lipizzans perform, it is like stepping back four hundred years and viewing one of the greatest equine ballets in history.

The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history and culture is known worldwide. The Walt Disney movie The Miracle of the White Stallions, depicting General George S. Patton saving them at the end of World War II from certain extinction, created an even greater world-wide interest in the Lipizzaner breed. Had it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today.

Although the Lipizzans star in this presentation, the ancestral forefather of the Lipizzan, the Spanish Andalusian, is featured in a high school presentation with special wardrobe themed to traditional Spanish music.

Not only is the Andalusian shown in saddle, but also in a unique presentation where the rider performs all the maneuvers of the Grand Prix Olympic level dressage on the longline, while walking behind the horse and guiding him through his paces.

Bakersfield Track Club Summer Series (formerly known as the Darryl Easter Memorial Handicap Series)

The Bakersfield Track Club Summer Series (formerly known as the Darryl Easter Memorial Handicap Series) is a series of 6 5K runs beginning in early June and running through most of the Summer. The events are held every other Tuesday at 7pm on Alfred Harrell Hwy just across from CALM. See Map

No watches allowed

Caution to the wise, 5K running events should only be undertaken by individuals who have been exercising regularly. The BTC and its members are always welcoming to people who want to begin an exercise program, but seek doctor's advice first. That being said, when you do come out to enjoy the fun, make sure you are well hydrated, and if you notice you are not feeling well, slow down and let someone know.

Entry Fees T-shirts Each runner must run 3 races once a handicap is established in order to earn a race shirt. Awards Each runner must compete in three races once a handicap is established to qualify for awards. There will be awards given for overall top ten (best cumulative points in 3 races), and for the top 3 scratch times for male and female. Your Handicap Sandbaggers A sandbagger is a person who purposely runs slower in early races in order to show improvement in later runs. We have rules for you. If you show a 17% improvement your time will be adjusted according to some complicated mathematical formula and your placing will be altered. Contact

$5 per event for non BTC members
$4 per event for BTC members
$3 per event for students

On your very first time out, you will be a "scratch runner," or a runner without a handicap. Scratch runners will be given a slip of paper indicating a 15 minute handicap (7:15 pm starting time).

The time run for the 5K this first time will be compared to a 30 minute benchmark. If you run longer than 30 minutes, you will earn a negative handicap (a 34:17 5K will result in a -4:17 handicap and you will begin your next race of the series at 4:17 before 7pm). If you run faster than 30 minutes, you will earn a positive handicap (a 22:51 5K will result in a 7:09 handicap and you will begin your next race at 7minutes and 9 seconds after 7pm).

The idea is that if everyone runs the exact same time next run, we all finish together at 7:30. That never happens. First one in wins. Best points goes to most improved runner.

Lopez House Historic Films Fund-raiser - Aug. 1

It will be Kern County on the big screen as “The House with Three Lives” and “Wild West Country: The Lure of Gold” premier for a one night only screening at the majestic Fox Theatre in Bakersfield beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 1. Proceeds from the $10 per person, non-profit, fund-raiser will be used for the ongoing preservation of the historic J.J. Lopez House at the Kern County Museum. Tickets can be purchased at http://vallitix.rdln.com or by calling (661) 322-5200.

Presented by the museum and Kern River Valley Historical Society, the event will even have a 19th Century feel outside with horses and “Wild West Country…” actors in period attire greeting visitors, along with members of the pioneer Lopez, Coppock, Hill, Rankin and Powers families.

“The House with Three Lives” is a 30 minute documentary detailing the history and preservation of the house built in downtown Bakersfield by Spanish immigrant and Tejon Ranch Manager J.J. Lopez in 1906. It became the home for Otis Coppock, who moved it to Rosedale Highway and Calloway Road in 1953, and later the Hill family that purchased it in the 1960s.

Inspired by the late Bob Powers’ books, “Wild West Country…” is a 90 minute docudrama about the county’s South Sierra region, featuring Joseph Walker’s discovery of the pass that bears his name in 1834 through the Kern River Gold Rush and the establishment of gold camp, Whiskey Flat — now known as Kernville.

The films were produced by veteran filmmaker Chuck Barbee, whose credits include work on the Peabody Award network series “Hot Dog” and Emmy Award winner “Night Court.”

For more information, please call Heather Fowler, Kern County Museum Foundation executive director, at (661) 852-5020.
