Tulelake, CA— Your future is yours if YOU work towards THEM
Each morning when I wake up the first thing I try and remember to do is to "Thank God" for yet another day. I will admit I do sometimes forget, as I am not perfect, but I try and do it as the very first thoughts of my day as I wake up each and every day, as I work towards my goals that I am going to accomplish very soon, someday in the not too distant future in my life. In some cases sooner, than I had expected I would or had planned I was going to be able to do it. Mainly, because of the help I have received lately through the goodness of others by the WILL OF GOD for them to help me as well as for me being in their lives presently too and them in mine.
What I am doing presently, AND what I am ONLY doing, it is because it is GOD's WILL for my life and all the Wisdom HE has given to me over the years SINCE I WAS BORN and with all the gifts that came along with the "Wisdom” from your life experiences and THE trials and errors in my life, along with HIS testing and teaching me, HIS WAYS, along the path of my life, for those who have been chosen to endure it and be honored to have accepted the honor of being tested by God Almighty, daily sometimes, as I have been all of my life, not just what I have been dealing with in the present or present time in my life; but the times I was also tested in my past dealings of the things I have dealt with since the day I was born and purpose HE, not only has for me, but for YOU, if "you" will let go of the earthly way of thinking and allow the spiritual way of GOD’s LOVE lead YOU on the path that HE has planned for you, before, YOU were born, if you will allow HIM TO DO IT, and follow what HE has meant for all of US to have, not just me, before the days of Adam and Eve and the first seed of sin was born and conceived in those days of the beginning of time.
Which, we all now live with depending on Ones’ belief of an after life that we will all be given once we get through the Hell on Earth. Not by works, but by Grace, that Christ died on the Cross-so we can all live a life more abundantly ON EARTH and IN HEAVEN and when our time comes to face judgment. When that time comes, as well for all of us, not just me. Which, we all have to do, as there is no other way around it but through the sacrifice of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for those that believe and for those who do not. It is not up to YOU or me to decide our fate; but it is God Almighty and HIS alone and no one else on earth can do it FOR YOU, but GOD HIMSELF.
WISDOM was the topic, not only AT one church yesterday, but TWO of THEM, the Trinity Lutheran Church and the Catholic Church. Where I stood up IN the Holy Cross Parish Catholic Church in Tulelake, CA (where at one time in my life I would not have had the guts to stand up and do it, as I would have been way too shy to even try it or less well even say it, without being embarrassed for doing it in the first place) and I stood up before the whole congregation in a church full of lots of people that were in the Catholic church and made the exact or a similar statement as follows: "The greatest gift God can give to you, is the gift of Wisdom and the rest will be granted to you according to HIS WILL for you in your life before GOD".
Wisdom is the greatest gift of all to pray and ask for GOD to give it to YOU as HE has me. When asking God for help be sure and ask for the greatest gift of all of them, and that is, the gift of "wisdom" and HE may decide to give YOU the other gifts as HE HAS me as an extra bonus to help YOU accomplish what YOU may not have, without the greatest gift HE CHOSE for YOU to have according to HIS WILL for your life, not your will for your life but HIS WILL FOR YOU. We all have FREE WILL but when God Almighty chooses the gifts WE all receive from HIM. And I have found it is best not to argue with HIM, when HE is giving out gifts, for HIS WILL and HIS PURPOSE for your life, not yours, not my will, but HIS WILL be done.
Then, the next thing I think about in the morning when I wake up, is how I am going to get there? Sometimes, I have a "Things To Do" list written down, but most of the time I have it in my head so to speak. I know what I want to get done and sometimes I have to multitask and work on several projects around my house all at the same time. Due to the fact, I have a very slow computer until I can afford to get a new one, when the time is right and it is HIS WILL for me to have a new one, but not until then, as I need to be thankful for what I do have, not what I want to have. Even a lap top would be nice too that way when I travel I can work on the road where ever I may be at,at the time where ever HE WANTS me to be, that is where I am according to HIS WILL for my life.
Most recently, I have been blessed with many things. Where others who are giving things away that they can no longer use or are going to throw them away anyway, they give them to me, instead. I then make use of the things they wanted to get rid of and get blessed by it at the same time.
In another situation, an opportunity crossed my path where some good friends of mine had some things they were storing for their son. They gave their son some time to come and pick it up but he chose not to do it. So they decided they did not want to keep his stuff in their garage much longer. They felt the best thing to do with all of his stuff was to donate it to their local church, the Trinity Lutheran Church for the yard sale at Hope Lutheran Church in Klamath Falls, OR. In the process, I went through the stuff and found many things I could use and had not had in many years since my Mom passed away in 2007.
Before, I was blessed with the things I now have in my home, I have been presently involved in helping to promote the Trinity Lutheran Church. fund raising efforts through the selling of discount Ride Tickets for the Tulelake Fair at $20.00 compared to the regular price of $28.00 when the Fair starts on Sept 4, 2014. Where I too will have a booth for Tulelake News in the commercial building from the entire run of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair from Thursday Sept 4, 2014 through Sunday Sept 7, 2014.
They had many items they were planning on having picked up and moved up to the Hope Lutheran Church in Klamath Falls, OR. Where the yard sale is going to take place on Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM August 2, 2014. They were planning on having the horse trailer from a near by Ranch out past the Newell,CA area come by and pick the stuff up and take it to Klamath Falls on Wednesday evening of this week to unload it at the Hope Lutheran Church in Klamath Falls, OR.

Using a horse trailer is pretty much how I got all of my stuff out of storage in Alturas, CA when Michael Wakerfield offered to help me get all of my stuff out of storage there, back in December 2013. In fact, it was Christmas Eve, when Michael and I made the first trip when he was going down there anyway because he had some horses that Doug Adkin’s, the former Tulelake City Engineer might be interested in buying them from someone Michael knew was interested in selling the horses.
In fact, on that trip we stopped at Captain Jack's Stronghold restaurant between Tulelake and Newell, CA off highway 139 on the way to Alturas, CA. Doug Adkins of Adkins Engineering and his wife were parked on the right hand side of the highway waiting for us to arrive when we got there and pulled over behind them. And the second Doug got out of the driver's side of his horse trailer I recognized who he was as I had just met Michael in person for the first time just a few minutes earlier that day when he picked me up at my house on our way to Alturas, but I knew Doug from the Tulelake City Council Meetings when Doug used to be there as the Tulelake City Engineer. And Doug knew who I was as that was during the time when Tulelake News was known as Tulelake Newell Times (TNT) back in 2010 where is all began back in 2010.
During the time, when Michael and I made the trip to Alturas, CA to pick up my stuff that belonged to my Mom and I. Where I made a deal to give Michael all the furniture I had stored there in storage, as there was no room in my apartment for it at the time and everything else I had stored there too. I kept the most important things I could not replace, the furniture could be replaced at a later date & time as I was thinking at the time when I gave the furniture away to Michael. Besides, then I had no way to get it out of storage in Alturas, CA before that time when Michael offered to help me to get it from there to here. As I was blessed at that time too, I felt, especially on Christmas Day when I began opening all the boxes with stuff I had had stored there in Alturas, CA for years that belonged to my Mom and I.
When Michael and I got back with the first load, to be unloaded and with collectables and furniture I gave Michael in return, for helping me get my stuff home. The collectables and personal stuff is all I wanted at the time, the most important things that belonged to my Mom and I. The City of Tulelake was not happy that Micheal's horse trailer was blocking the alley by my apartment building in the parking lot. Michael had a teaching appointment that he needed to get to that afternoon on Christmas Eve in Klamath Falls, OR. Micheal's partner suggested that he just drop the horse trailer off and I could get the neighbors to help unload it, then he could leave and head to his teaching appointment, as he was already late, but he did not tell me that at the time on Christmas Eve that he had another engagement when we picked up the first load when we were loading it in to his horse trailer in Alturas, the first trip we made to my storage unit there in Alturas, CA.
The City of Tulelake was not too happy about that situation because the horse trailer blocked the Tulelake Garbage truck from getting to the trash bins for the apartments. But it was removed just in time a week later and the next trip Michael, and a former student who I met when he was nine or ten years old the first time when I was a substitute teacher for his class located at Modoc Middle School for the Modoc Joint Unified School District. When I was taking caring of my Mom full-time and living in Brooks Park in Alturas, CA. They had to call me the day before as I needed to find someone to watch my Mom so I could work and get a break from taking care of my Mom 24/7. I was called most of the time for Arlington Elementary School in Canby, CA, before they closed it with the K-4th graders, there were only 11 students in the class. And the lesson plan was the best laid out of all the teachers I substituted for during that time, as I did not have to wing it, as it is called when a teacher leaves a limited lesson plan for the guest teachers taking over their class in their absence. A couple of times I had the 5th and 6th graders in the classroom next door to the K-4th graders in Canby, CA at Arlington Elementary School.
The student was now 18 years old and lived in Tulelake now with his Mom and Step Father across the street from the Tulelake Post Office. I hired him to go along and help us with the loading and the unloading when we got Micheal's horse trailer back in the alley by my apartment for the second time, this time we had more time and Michael parked it so that it was not blocking the alley, like it was the first time we made that trip to my storage unit in Alturas. By dropping the horse trailer it gave me time to unload it at my pace and not in a hurry. It gave me time to unload it at a pace that was not rushed and that where it would not be in the way of the City of Tulelake Garbage truck this time around in January of 2014, as it was back in December 24, 2013 on Christmas Eve the first time we made the first trip to the storage in Alturas, CA.
I gave a day bed away to Michael, a glass table and bar stools, a king size bed and banister and other miscellaneous furniture that I had stored in Alturas,CA and now I came across many things I needed that I had given away then; such as the day bed for my bedroom I have now again, but I like this one better, then the other one I had before. Where now I have turned my bedroom in to a den and it is no longer just a boring bedroom with stuff piled up all over the place, that I was still going through and getting organized with a plain single twin bed I had bought from a neighbor back in 2000 when Mom and I lived in the Kutras Gardens Apartments in Redding, CA. When I first started taking care of my Mom back then, before we both moved to Newell, CA in 2002 in to the Goose (for those who know the area of Newell, CA). My Mom had dementia and she could recognize the Tulelake area, but got lost in Redding where my older brothers and sister live with their families now. Nothing changed for them when my Mom passed away but my life was turned upside down and I had to start all over again.
My bedroom is a place I now can invite guests to stop by and maybe even invite to spent the night and where I can entertain them with some videos that I have from the time I produced a segment from John Crancer’s Face’s and Places for KIXE Channel 9 in Redding, CA back in the early 1990. A story about a BMX Park located in Summit City, in Central Valley by the Shasta Dam and north of Redding about 10 miles up Lake Blvd or Interstate 5 and take the Shasta Lake City exit. The other day bed I had at the time was the one I gave to Michael as at the time I did not have room for it as I went through all the stuff that I had stored in Alturas, CA at $66.00 per month at the Alturas Mini Storage at 602 W 12th Street in Alturas, CA since 2007 when my passed away and my whole world and life was turned upside down and where it has taken me this long to finally be able to lay in a bed and watch a movie. As I had sold my big TV during that time in 2007 because I needed the money. I now have a TV with a DVD and a VCR with the TV cabinet to play the many tapes I have had stored over the years and brought home back in December of 2013 and January 2014.
There are also tapes when I had a cameo in the Brotherhood of Night that was produced in Redding, CA by a group of people I knew at the time from the public broadcast station KIXE Channel 9 in Redding,CA. Where I also shot the scenes of behind the scenes while we worked on "The Brotherhood of the Night" with a ¾ inch video tape recorder, as we were making the original TV series pilot they were hoping someone would buy with the $10,000 they had invested in the project, as it was shot around the Redding area. Where I was also at the time in the process of producing my own TV Series at the time called “Last Chance Hotel”. Where several scripts had been written and we even had the cast and crew for the first of the series called “Ponce Springs" with the director and cast and crew. Mostly from the River Front Theatre Group in Redding, CA at the time. It fell flat and I could not get the funding I needed to produce it at the time, so it was called off and canceled and is now still on the back burner for me for a future project I plan on trying again in the not to distant future.
I even have recorded tapes from when I played the part of Aide Williams in “One who flew over the "Cuc koo’s Nest" performed from 1989-90 at old city hall in Redding, CA. That maybe someday, I can get around to editing it and put it all together to be shared with those who were involved with the production at the time in Redding, CA. I have all the master tapes to do just that, in the near future as yet another project I would like to complete and finally bring it to its full conclusion.
I even now have an old desk, a real old desk for my office like I used to use when I worked in the Manufacturing Industry in mid 1970’s and into the mid 1980’s. Or where I was New Car Get Ready Manager for Felix Chevrolet and Subaruin downtown at 3330 S Figueroa Street, Los Angeles where I had 10 porters who were under me as I was their boss and a young 25 year old recent graduate from Long Beach City College with an AA Degree in Theatre Arts /Telecommunications.
Who in 1975 was a theatre arts major was in a play at the time called "Moon Children" in 1976 and played the role of the Milk Man that was entered into the Eighth Annual Pacific South Circuit Region II in the AMERICAN COLLEGE THEATRE FESTIVAL and came in 6th in our district.
The desk was very similar to this one I now have in my office at home. Similar to when I used when I was there during that time in my life. Where I was responsible for 750 brand-new cars and trucks up and down Figueroa Blvd worth Millions of Dollars at that time of the 80’s.
Or where I was an English as Second Language (ESL) teacher in South Korea for three plus years from December 1994 through May 1997 after I gradated from Simpson College Simpson College(Now University in Redding, CA as the class of 1993, when I graduated with my BA Degree in HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT.
Where I worked at two different Radio Stations there while attending Full Time at Simpson. KFXS-102.7 and KARZ 106.1 as well as HomeBase, in Redding, before they closed and I went to South Kora to teach English as a Second Language (ESL).
Which I have air check tapes from that time period and even video tapes from when I worked at Universal Studios on the Lower Lot and in the Tour Park next to Star Trek Screen Test Theater and moved back to Redding, CA where I was known as James Aaron as an on air radio personality and I went into a partnership with a video rental place on Lake Blvd, next to Kentucky Fried Chicken down the street from from Raley's at the time I owned what was called “Studio One”. Where people could record their audio or music videos at "Studio One" in Redding, CA, that I owned.
When I was the last DJ on the air for K-PAK Country, where the format was changed to Classic Rock and KLXR and the frequency is now known as K-LOVE AM 1230, the same way KFXS 102.7 is also part of K-love the last I remember. Interesting, huh! Where I was the last live DJ for K-FXS 102.7 and the last song I played live on the air was “Hello, Good-by” by the Beatles knowing we were going off air as I caught the satellite, which was referred to changing from being live to going to the network fed on the radio station.
There are other things I was blessed with the other day that were in my friends garage that I now have at home with me through out my apartment now. Praise God!
I am right now so far behind in some ways and way far ahead in other things I am working on presently. I am behind in completing stories I worked on weeks ago. Such as the Horse Show at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Grounds and the Japanese’s Pilgrimage that came for their tour of the Japanise Interment Camp tour. That they make every other year. Where the Tulelake Volunteer Fire Department fixed them lunch at the fair grounds.
Where I have had to spend my time going back and forth to Yreka (by hitch hiking most of the time unless I get lucky and get a ride there or a ride home and meet new friends from all walks of life each time I go there) for legal reasons that I did not ask for, but by a group of people that are so obsessed with me they have nothing to do with their lives, than zone in on me for speaking out and telling the TRUTH about THEM. Even where at the latest City Council Meeting the Mayor was attacked for picking me up in Weed when I was arrested by Tony Ross with no id or bank card with only $4.00 in my shirt pocket, just enough to pay for the Stage Bus from Yreka to Weed and hopefully get home from there in time for my doctors appointment at the Tulelake Clinic for my Appointment with my Doctor in Burney by way of Tele-a-med. Who my Therapist and Dr. Jones read what I write, not only on my Blog but Tulelake News, as well that soon will be testifying at my trial set for September in Yreka.
After the Fair, where I will have a booth at this years Fair in the Commercial building. Where people will get a chance to meet me in person for those who have been reading what I write and have written since December 2013, when it began again as Tulelake New Times (TNT) on all three of my Face Books pages, Four Blogs, Twitter, Youtube Channel and now the web site Tulelakenews.com.
Link: UPDATED: New web site and faceboook page named "Tulelake News" on line NOW! Twitter too!
I ended up being one of the topics on the agenda again, as in the past at an earlier Tulelake Meeting titled “Community Concerns” by the same group that were involved in the recent recall of Randy Darrel with all the falsehoods they presented against him and have in the past presented against me and in the present time as well. The Tulelake Falsehood Vigilante and Tony Ross Groupie Groups. What is next to get on the agenda and complain that I was blessed by GOD? Maybe they will find out soon what GOD thinks of these hypocrites. "You reap what you sow" and "What comes around, goes around...".
Where I have been taken there several times by a former Tulelake Police officer back in February the first time and twice now by the Chief of Police, Tony Ross unnecessarily each time. And will be proven in both Family court and the civil suit that is in the process of being filed against all of these people, including the Chief of Police. Tony Ross for their wrongs against me for standing up and telling the truth about what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. My first amendment right according to the US Constitution that this same group wanted the City Council of Tulelake to pass and ordinance denying me that right in a public meeting to report the news. Where the judge in this case ruled otherwise.
So yeah, you have to set your goals and work towards them and not talk about them, but work towards completing them, even if it takes a life time to do it, with all the wisdom and life experiences of trial and error along the way. Even if you end up off the trail temporally a bit, you refocus and get back on track and let nothing or anyone stop you, no matter how many hills or mountains you have to climb to get there, because for all the hard work and effort on your part it will be well worth it in the end, and let no “one” person or thing get or stand in your way. It is not your fault they are the unstable one’s when it comes to mental health, not “YOU’ as I prove when my doctor testifies no charge to me.
As long as you believe you can do it, you can and that is the only person you have to convince and that is yourself as others will soon follow your lead, if you lead by example and stop sitting around wasting time talking about what you want to do but instead get out there and do it. I AM doing it and so can YOU! Stop talking about it, "DO IT". "If you build it, they will COME!" according to the "Field of Dreams" movie and we all have dreams and we can make them come true, if we work towards them, everyday, instead of talking about our dreams. Talk is cheap and useless, but working towards them is not, it is hard work and only you can do it, if you believe you can do it like I do. I believe I can and I believe you can too, if you put your mind to it, instead of your mouth with idle chatter and talk, instead of action, as I am doing daily, as an example for you to follow, I hope as I accomplish my life time goals, you can too, in time if you spend the time doing it as I am doing right now.
Instead of looking down at me, what have you accomplished in your life? Other than complaining about others, when they have accomplished more and have more to show for it with their life's' accomplishments, than you do in your present life or ever will at the rate you are going compared to them, yet you are the first to look down at them, when it is just the opposite that is true, not the other way around. Now get going on your dreams and stop looking down on others for theirs and what they are accomplishing and you are not but keep blaming them for your failures, while they are accomplishing theirs by not not talking about them, but doing them by leading as an example, not as a follower.
Unstable as some seem to what to claim, I don't thinks so. Obsessed we me for their lack of success in their lives when they are confronted with the TRUTH they can not accept about themselves and want to blame others for their own lack truthfulness by spreading falsehoods about others to try and make themselves look better, when it is the opposite that is the TRUTH in reality in the small little world they live in.
Good luck on trying to prove more of your falsehoods in a court of law. Soon to be tried before a judge and a jury of my peers, while showing the entire world what fools they really are, not just in Tulelake, but world wide for all to see and laugh at, every single one of them, for their foolishness in city hall meetings to be presented to the court. When the real TRUTH COMES TO LIGHT against them in a court of law, as to who the unstable ones are and in need of a mental health evaluation for their instability before mental health professionals assigned to them by order of the court, hopefully the court will order them to seek and be seen by the professionals they are desperately in need of being seen by and that goes for all of them.
So that they will think twice the next time they try and do this to another person, ever again as they have against me in this case before the court come September's in the trial in Siskiyou Superior Court. Their best bet is to admit their errors of their ways and ask mercy from the court, before the court decides it for them according to the memorandums and motions soon to be filed against each and every one of them with the attachment list of evidence against each and everyone of one of them to be attached and filed with the court very soon, as time allows for what they have put me through since the beginning in January 2014 and their comments on record with their agenda items and comments directed at me and my reputation as a news reporter and editorials with the slander and libel they all have committed on record against me in the community of Tulelake, as well as past city council meetings to be subpenaed as they have tried to keep me from exercising my first amendment rights as a local news source. I have more supporters and new friends all over the place world wide, compared to the Tony Ross groupies and the local vigilante group that are nothing more than the following: vig·i·lan·te
ˌvijəˈlantē/
noun
noun: vigilante; plural noun: vigilantes
a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.
They will never catch up to what I have accomplished in my life time or will they ever have, compared to what I stand for and have done in my life time and that is the truth compared to entire falsehood group, who will never have on their side, now or in the future as they end up being a footnote to what I am about to accomplish, despite their ill will against and directed towards me since the first council meeting back in January of 2014.
GOD IS IN CHARGE and they are NOT. The truth will set you free and Karma is a bitch! Along with, "What comes around goes around!" So good luck!
God bless to one and all of YOU,
