Previews of new DVDs by Sam Struckhoff
New DVDs reviewed in this col-umn will be available in stores theweek of June 27.
PICKS OF THE WEEK"Season of the
Witch" (PG-13) -- Theterm "witch hunt" giverise to all kinds of scaryideas -- curses, poisons,scapegoating, suspicionand the tangled web ofmoral dilemmas inherentin a panicked society.Don't worry though, thisone is just another pret-ty-dark adventure featur-ing Nicolas Cage phon-ing it in as the hero.
Two knights goneAWOL from the cru-sades (Nicolas Cage and RonPerlman) get roped into transportingan accused witch to a specialmonastery so they can end thecursed plague sweeping the land.Cage keeps it cool, depriving theaudience of a new satisfyingly spasticoutburst from the venerated over-actor.
It's probably not something you'llwant to watch over and over again -predicting what happens next is easyenough on the first viewing.However, there's nothing strikinglybad about it, and it one can genuine-ly enjoy this short adventure througha world of nice knights and meanmonsters.
"Sucker Punch" (PG-13) -- Somuch of this film is in layered story-telling done in music-video formatthat I'm not sure it can be describedin plain text, so be prepared. "SuckerPunch" is a humorless movie madeand sold on the premise of girls in
fetish gear and their gratuitous fightswith baddies assembled from unfin-ished video games. (That was shock-ingly easy.)
There is a story, don't be fooled.Emily Browning plays a young girlwho accidentally kills her sister whiletrying to defend her from their evil
stepfather and isinstitutionalized as aresult.
Director ZackSnyder's famed"action style" getsannoying. In anyfight, time erratical-ly speeds up andgrinds to a crawllike an amnesiactrying to drive astick shift. The com-bat scenes areintense, but it does-n't take long before
the whole mess blends together. Theimaginary baddies change, butthey're just different brownish thingsto shoot at -- be they undead Nazis,orc soldiers or robot samurai. Even ifthis sounds like your kinda thing,seeing them used so interchangeablysort of cheapens it, making it lookmore like pandering than a well-crafted fantasy.

Q: I love "Army Wives."This past season was espe-cially phenomenal. I can'tbelieve Frank and Deniselost their son, Jeremy. Itreally broke my heart. Howdid the cast handle shootingthose scenes? -- Sally D.,Columbus, Ohio
A: You can bet those sceneswere absolute torture tofilm. I spoke with BrigidBrannagh, who playsPamela on the hit series,and she gave me thescoop: "We were all like,'Make this episodestop.' It was so upset-ting. And I've been toenough funerals where'Taps' was played, andjust hearing that songevokes so many things.It's impossible not tofeel completely con-sumed with melancholy when'Taps' comes on," she said."We've been so surrounded bythis world, by this military Armylife for all of these years, thatyou just think about a soldierthat you love gone, and he's justa boy. It tore all of us up.Watching Terry Serpico (whoplays Jeremy's father) walk inand trying not to cry -- oh myGod, it was terrible. It was just
heart wrenching all the time. Butwe all really appreciated what itwas. It was just a long dayshoot."
***Q: What is my favorite
dancer, Derek Hough,doing? Why wasn't he onthis spring's season of"Dancing With the Stars"? --Marilyn S., via e-mail
A: Derek, 26, took abreak from the hit danc-ing show to focus on hisacting and singingcareer, much like sisterJulianne. He guest-starred on an episode of"Better With You" and isslated to star in themovie "Cobu 3D." Healso is in a band withfellow "DWTS" dancerMark Ballas, called theBallas Hough Band,which released its first
record in March 2009. Fun fact:He played the uncredited role,Hogwarts schoolboy, in "HarryPotter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Mike Mencarini Kern River Courier columnist
As you might have noticed theheat is on and my guess is that it’sgoing to be a long and hot summer.With thisonslaught of hotweather the snowis going to meltquickly. Thismeans that theUpper Kern isgoing to be raging(Ed. note: as ofWednesday at 3p.m. the river wasup to 5546 c.f.s.)The flow will be much higher in theweeks to come. My point is to bevery careful if or when you fish theriver. It will be dangerous for thenext fewweeks.
I dohavesome sug-gestionsfor thosewho wantto have a lot of fun and spend somequality time with your family. If youhead up to the high country in theLloyd Meadow area all the creekshave been stocked, including UpperPeppermint, with catchable-sizedrainbows. There is plenty of waterin the creeks and there are lots ofcamping spaces along with some
great hiking trails.Over the weekend there was
proof that the crappie bite is on. Thefish cleaning station at PioneerCampground was a very busy place.The downside to this is that most ofthe crappie are being caught in theSouth Fork area– Joughin’s andBrown’s Coves, along with RabbitIsland and the trees way back in thesouthern part of the lake. TheNorth Fork side should pick up assoon as the water temperaturewarms up. The bass bite is warmingand should get better in the nextweek. My best bet on the catfish isthe night bite should be fair to good.The trout bite should be good in theearly morning and late afternoon.
I’ll say it once again – be verycareful on the river, and it may notbe a fashion statement, but insist
that allchildrenwear apersonalfloatationdeviceeven ifthey’re just
playing on the shore. It could save alife.

I keep seeing them; teenagersand family members dancingaround withsigns on streetcorners seekingbusiness for a carwash to raisefunds for finalexpenses for ayoung personwho has died.
This week Iwas assistingGloria and her 16-year-olddaughter complete an applicationfor health insurance. I flipped thepage before the medical ques-tions, and there was an opportu-nity to add dental insurance andlife insurance to the application.I have never "pushed" life insur-ance on individual policies foradults, as the face amount isn'tlarge enough to cover all theresponsibilities a parent or evena spouse must cover. Everyonewho cares for their family andloved ones needs life insurance.But for children, the addition oflife insurance is a no brainer.For the daughter, by adding only$3 on to the monthly premium,her single mother would have$30,000 to help with last expens-es.
Life insurance policies areavailable to be added onto manyindividual health insuranceplans, and also often can beadded on to group plans.
Policies can be bought on astandalone basis as well, and thecost of term insurance is so low,that most everyone can afford asmall policy. I bought my first$25,000 policy while in college.$14.80 a month for a whole lifeplan. I am still paying the $14.80,45 years later. The policy hasgrown in value. I borrowedagainst it to help finance mydaughter’s wedding. The benefi-ciaries have changed over theyears from my parents andbrothers to my wife and daugh-ter. I have added additional cov-erage as my responsibilities haveincreased, but the value of thatfirst policy is still there protect-ing my loved ones. I know I willdie some day. Hopefully not fora long while, but I know therewill be bills to pay, mortgages tomaintain and responsibilities andcommitments to fulfill.
Next time you see a fundrais-ing car wash, consider the peo-ple who are dancing on the cor-ner. For $3 a month they couldbe grieving their loss, not wash-ing cars.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:Our grandson soon will be15. He still wets the bed.His parents have doneeverything from pills toalarms, but nothing helps.Sometimes he getsdepressed, and that scaresus. He says he will never beable to have a relationshipwith a girl. Sometimes weworry that he will hurt him-self. Is there anything thatcan help this situation? --W.M.
ANSWER: I feel deeply foryour grandson. No one canunderstand the isolation andhopelessness he has to grapplewith. He could stand profession-al counseling. Perhaps a fewfacts will help him. Between theages of 5 and 6, 15 percent to 20percent of children are still wet-ting the bed. Of that number,every following year, 15 percentwill stay dry during the night.By age 18, only 1 percent to 2percent of these youngsters arestill battling the problem. Yourgrandson has three years inwhich his chances of gainingcontrol are good.
The problem of bed-wettingappears to stem from a brainthat doesn't respond to a fullnighttime bladder by rousingthe sleeper. It might be a delayin developing that response. Orit might be a delay in the attain-ment of a large enough bladdercapacity to hold nighttime urineproduction. Or it might be thatthese children produce too littleof the hormone vasopressin,
which suppresses nightly urineformation.
Your grandson can once moretry things he probably hasalready tried. He should meas-ure carefully how much fluid hedrinks in one day. Once helearns that number, he shoulddrink 40 percent of the total inthe morning, another 40 percentin the afternoon and limit fluidto 20 percent of the daily totalfrom 5 p.m. on. He can increasehis bladder's capacity by hold-ing off on urinating during theday. If he delays each time byfive or 10 minutes for one weekand then gradually lengthensthe delay in following weeks,the bladder will stretch. Thistakes time. He has to be patient.
Alarms can work. They soundor vibrate when the first fewdrops of moisture touch them. Itcan be as long as six months ofuse before the training takeshold.
For occasions when he isinvited to stay at other people'shomes for the night, desmo-pressin, as a pill or nasal spray,slows nighttime urine produc-tion.
***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is
unable to answer individual let-ters, but he will incorporatethem in his column wheneverpossible. Readers may write himor request an order form ofavailable health newsletters atP.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475.

All Scripture isinspired by Godand profitable forteaching, forreproof, for correc-tion, for training inrighteousness. - 2Timothy 3:16
If you have a ten-dency to succumbto guilt where time spent in theScripture is concerned, do yourself afavor and stop reading these words .. . seriously, stop reading right now!Boiling the eternal Word of Goddown to shame and self reproachwith thoughts of "I really shouldread my Bible more," marginalizesthe power of God to the pointwhere the Father's purposes inrevealing Himself is almost entirelylost. I say "almost" because there isDivine power in the Word that canbreak through even the most ardentdefenses (yes, guilt is a defenseagainst the power of the Word totransform us). If then you are stillreading along, I trust that yourheart, like my own, longs for a bet-ter grasp on the power of God tochange who we are, and what weexperience, into what He has loving-ly purposed for us.
Embracing the heart of Godthrough the pages of Scripture is theprimary place where hearing theWord of the Lord is concerned. Forall the hoopla in the Spirit filledChristian community regarding theprophetic and receiving "rhema"words from the Lord ("faith comesby hearing and hearing by theWord (rhema) of God") the inabilityor unwillingness to be firmlygrounded in the written Word("Logos") is problematic at best, anddangerous at worst. Of a certainty,even the most committed student ofthe Word will over a lifetime remain
a mere novice in terms of fullyunderstanding the Scriptures, foryou and I are finite beings trying toembrace the infinite God's revela-tion of Himself. This being the case,two issues become important: 1) Wedo not allow this reality to turn oureyes and hearts from the Word.Novice as we shall ever be, the Lordspeaks to us all through His Word,and His heart is communicated inways that guide and encourage usthrough all of life's circumstance. 2)Though we will never completelyunderstand all that is to be known,we are always candidates for thevoice of the Holy Spirit to speak inmiraculous ways.
Notice in the above passage theinclusion of "All Scripture," and thencompare your own experience withthe Scriptures. This is where guiltwill attempt to short circuit what theFather desires to work in us whereHis Word is concerned. The old"I've tried a hundred times to readcertain books of the Bible and I justdon't get it," kicks into gear andonce again the heart of God com-municated through His Word is lost.Could it be that the reason we havesuch a difficult time hearing God inthe midst of our circumstance isbecause we shut out a certainamount of His capacity to talk to usby shying away from things hard tounderstand? By silencing theHabakkuk part of God's heart, orignoring the revelation of His lovethat comes through the book ofRevelation might we be making ourown experience more difficult if thatis what we are intended to learn andexperience through what we arewalking through? A desire to hearGod speak must always begin witha fervent desire to hear from HisWord, and be intensely transformedby what He has to say. The Lordspeaks, and as He does our lives arechanged, and our circumstancebecomes useful in the Lord's ongo-ing purpose of making us into Hisimage.

Faith comes by hearingLocal writer releases bookKern River Courier
Long time Kern Valley residentEmily Rose Cardé has written andpublished her first romantic suspensenovella, “ICU,” at the age of 17 to helpfund her education at Patrick HenryCollege in Purcellville, VA.
The project began as a short storyand morphed into an excitingfundraisingadventurefor Emilyand herfamily, whosought outsponsors top r o m o t eand financethe project.
"It isimportantfor me togive back to God some of which Hehas given me," said Cardé, who grad-uated from Bakersfield Christian HighSchool last month.
What does “ICU” stand for? "That'swhat everyone wants to know," saysCardé's mom Mischelle Sandowich.The answer? "Read the book!"
This synopsis is provided on theback cover: "A series of tragic eventspush college graduate Lauren Millerto escape the memories of her pastand flee to Los Angeles. Settling intoher new life comes easily, almost tooeasily, until she begins receivingthreatening packages. Will her newboss help protect her, or will his mys-terious connection to her tragic pastdestroy their friendship?"
Although Cardé has never read theTwilight series, Randy Martin, pastor
of Covenant Presbyterian Church andBible Department head at BCHS, seesa similarity. "It has all the romanticappeal of the Twilight series, withoutthe vampires," he said, "and from aChristian worldview."
“ICU” is not Cardé's first publishingexperience. While the youngest activemember of the Kern Valley Poets andWriters Club, Cardé published shortstories, poetry, and lyrics in their year-ly publication, “Refections of theKern.” Her work appears in the 2009and 2010 editions. She has also hadnumerous pieces published in creativejournals at BCHS and earned a covet-ed award of excellence from theEnglish Department. Cardé plans toearn a B.A. in literature, go on to earna M.F.A. in creative writing, and oneday earn a doctorate degree. One ofher career goals is to become anaccomplished novelist.
ICU is available in paperback (8.5" x5.5") and retails for $12.50. It can bepurchased online atwww.icubook.wordpress.com.Sponsorships (purchasing five ormore copies at $10 each) are alsoavailable. In addition, there are plansto make the book available at localretailers in the Valley. For more infor-mation call Sandowich at (661) 472-9269 or email [email protected] and orders can bemailed to: Emily Cardé, 4450California Ave. #225, Bakersfield, CA93309. Please add $3.50 per book tocover tax and shipping.
Cardé will be available at theLakeshore Farmer's Market located at7466 Wofford Blvd. Wofford Hts. onSaturday, June 25th from 9am to 1pmto sell and autograph books.

There had better be no com-plaints about the size and lengthof year’s fire-works extrav-aganza overIsabella Lake.There'snobody toblame but us.
The eventsponsor, theKern RiverValleyChamber ofCommerce, islooking to light a fire under peo-ple for donations needed for theSaturday, July 2 show.
The fireworks display, whichis funded entirely by donations,finds itself roughly $5,000 shortof the $14,000 fuse needed toreach the show's ignition point,according to chamber officemanager Jennie Cox.
The phrases "the sky's thelimit" and "more bang for thebuck" truly apply when it comesto the size and length of theannual show, which is directlyrelated to the amount of dona-tions received from individualsand businesses by the chamber.
This year, the fireworks arestill being scheduled to rocketover the lake from EngineersPoint on Saturday, July 2, atapproximately 9 p.m. But thesize and shape of this year's
(and next year's) display, asalways, will decided upon byfunds collected over the nexttwo weeks.
Big red firecracker canistershave been placed at businesslocations around the valley.Also, a raffle ticket drive for atwo-night, three-day stay atSouth Point Las Vegas has beenlaunched by the chamber inorder to collect cash contribu-tions.
For those willing to shell outfor this explosive event, individ-ual shells can be sponsored bysize as well, proving that when itcomes to fireworks, size doesmatter. The more bucks the big-ger the BANG! Shells can besponsored from $10 for a 2 inchshell, to a dam-buster (not liter-ally, of course) 10-inch bomb-shell for $500. All funds godirectly to the fireworks pur-chase.
Fireworks donations can bemade at the Kern River ValleyChamber of Commerce office at6404 Lake Isabella Blvd., LakeIsabella across from the SeniorCenter, by mail to KRVCC, P.O.Box 567, Lake Isabella, CA93240-0567 or online usingPayPal or credit card atwww.fireworks.kernrivervalley.com

So much has happened withthis real estate market the lastfew years, some good things,but mostly bad things especiallyfor sellers andpotential buyerslooking forloans. However, Iwant to talk a bitabout a programthat is still avail-able that is avery good fit fora lot of home-buyers in theKern RiverValley.
There are basically only twoways to get what is called 100%financing, which means a mort-gage without putting a down-payment. The first is a VA loan.Those are great loans but theyare only for current or formermembers of the military andtheir dependents.
However, there is hope!Guess what? For first timehomebuyers there is a greatprogram available that is also100% financing AND it lets theseller help the buyer with theirclosing costs on top of that. Theprogram is called a RuralHousing Loan, or a USDA loan.
What? The people who certifyour meat give loans? Yeah, Iknow it is weird, but it is true.Actually, as with every govern-ment organization, the USDA is
huge; they do all kinds ofthings. The Forest Service isadminstered by the USDA, forexample.
The USDA gives loans onsingle family housing and onfarms in rural areas (not incities). There are certain creditand income restrictions, butoverall, it is pretty easy to quali-fy for a rural housing loan. Theywill not lend on manufacturedhomes, and the home has to bein average or better conditionand in a rural area (which ofcourse we are), so USDA loansare a great loan product forlocal buyers these days to takeadvantage of. Better yet, notonly do they require no down-payment, but the seller isallowed to contribute up to 6%of the purchase price out oftheir profits towards the buyersclosing costs which, dependingon the price of the home, usual-ly pays all of the closing costsfor the buyer besides theappraisal.
This is truly a great buyer'smarket, so if you are a potentialbuyer but don't have a militaryrecord or any money down,think about a USDA loan. I havedone a bunch of them and theyare a great way to get into ahouse.

Recommendations by the CountyPlanning Department on the ques-tion of a Kern County propertyowner's rightto rent his orher home on ashort-termbasis (less than30 days) wasbrought beforethe Board ofSupervisorsthis pastTuesday.
After hear-ing comments from both sides ofthe issue, county supervisorsdelayed the decision by referringthe issue back to staff for furtherstudy of options, alternatives andspecific direction.
The ultimate decision on R-1 andR-2 zoning ordinance rights andrestrictions will affect propertyowners throughout the entire KernCounty area. However, Tuesday'ssession specifically targeted thecommunity of Alta Sierra. Thequiet neighborhood has becomedivided on the interpretation ofproperty rights within residentialareas.
Short-term rentals from weekendand second home owners haveexisted for years. In the Kern Valley,they've provided relief from asevere shortage of lodging facilitiesfor visitors. The need for adequateaccommodations directly influencesour fragile economy, based almost
exclusively on tourism.Two supervisors agreed that the
matter is more of a behavioral issuethan a property issue.Unfortunately, some vacationerswill ignore "agreed to" writtenrental terms and rules put in placeby the homeowner to protect theirproperty and minimize any poten-tial friction. The "leave it betterthan you found it" and commoncourtesy lessons are seldom prac-ticed by new generations, resultingin more and more restrictions.
The inability of county govern-ment to fulfill its obligation toaddress, investigate and enforceany current regulations is a majorcontributor to the overall problem.Lack of county resources to providelocal Alta Sierra law enforcement,fire response crews and weekendcode enforcement personnel is noexcuse not to perform that respon-sibility. Supervisor Watson com-mented, "County government is notan 8 to 5, Monday to Friday busi-ness, it is 24/7, and we must find away to do that (responsibly).”
Friction within the community ishigh and concerns about the rippleaffect that additional regulationswill have on all county propertyowners is feared. It's hoped that,somehow, all the parties can cometogether and rationally resolve theissues. If not, intervention by countygovernment will be necessary andtheir options and decision will notbe popular with anyone.

In 1843 the Kelseys and a smallparty started for Oregon. En routeIndians stole 25 of their horses, butnot without cost. ”I counted 12 ofthem as they went down beforeour guns,” she recounted.
In 1844 they returned fromOregon with Nancy, Ann, and anewborn daughter to Napa Valley.Again Indians attacked. Nancysaid, “While the arrows were fly-ing into our camp, I took one babeand rolled it into a blanket and hidit in the brush, and returned andtook my other child and hit it also.”
In 1850 the family sold the stockfrom their ranch near Sonoma(from which the present-day townof Kelseyville took its name) andmoved to the Humboldt area. Thatventure was not profitable, “but wehelped start the towns of Eurekaand Arcata,” claimed Nancy. Mrs.Kelsey “had enough incidents hap-pen to me to make a book.”
In1859 the Kelseys went to
Mexico and in 1861 “drifted intoTexas, where we were attacked byComanche Indians.” Nancy’s 12-year-old daughter was scalped inthe raid. The family returned toCalifornia, and the injured daugh-ter died in Fresno at age 18.
Benjamin died in Los Angeles in1888. After his death, Nancy Kelseylived alone in a remote cabin highin the mountains of Santa BarbaraCounty, supporting herself by rais-ing chickens and vegetables. Anadmiring neighbor interviewedher and sent the article to the SanFrancisco Examiner, which pub-lished it on February 5, 1893. In thestory Nancy said,“ I have seen U.S. Grant when he was little known;I have baked bread for Gen.Fremont and I have talked to KitCarson; I have run from a bear.”
Nancy died in 1896 in her seven-ty-third year. She was buried at thehead of Cottonwood Canyon indesolate and beautiful CuyamaRiver Valley. For more than 40years the only stone marking hergrave was rough concrete crudelyetched “Kelsy 1823-1896.” Above it,in 1937, a chapter of the NativeDaughters of the Golden Westmounted a bronze plaque to com-memorate the first woman to crossthe plains to California.
Must have been quite a jaunt!

She was a well-traveled pioneerValley history: Hot Springs House
The now-abandoned hot springs property in the middle of the town of LakeIsabella was at one time a very popular place.
When settlers came into the valley behind the gold miners in the mid-1800s,the hot springs beckoned to them with their soothing waters. in 1866 thisprompted Harry Chapman to build a hotel at the springs. Named the HotSprings House, it offered mineral baths to visitors who suffered from rheuma-tism or weary muscles. It was a favorite gathering place for miners and otherlocal residents, and quickly became the major stage stop between Caliente andthe Kern River Valley.
Over the next 25 years it was owned by a succession of people. Its majorpopularity was in the mid-1890s when hydropower came to the Kern RiverValley. It was the main headquarters for the Borel workers. The stage also reg-ularly brought guests to relax in the mineral baths.
John Neill bought the Hot Springs House in 1902 and made many additionsto the property, which soon became known as Neill's Hot Spring Ranch. Theold wooden tub was replaced by four galvanized tubs to serve all the peoplewho journeyed from miles away to partake of the hot sulphur baths.
The Hot Springs Ranch stayed in the Neill family for some years, and thenpart of it was sold in 1929 to Louis G. Scovern. He added a swimming poolbehind the hotel, and the property was re-named Scovern Hot Springs.
When Mr. and Mrs. Scovern died, the property went to their daughter,Pauline. Pauline and John McNally were married in 1936 and they farmed theHot Springs Ranch for years after that.
Progress, the car, and subdivisions brought an end to the big ranches inHot Springs Valley. The Hot Springs House was unused for many years butwas a landmark clear into the 1960s. One artist liked to paint it because despitethe broken windows and sagging beams, the house never really seemed aban-doned, just waiting for a renewal.
But it was not to be. On March 11, 1971, the Hot Springs House was leveledby fire. To this day, in the early morning hours, steam still rises across the fieldsfrom the springs, as if to remind us of the Hot Springs House at the turn of thecentury.
(Ed. If anyone has a photo of the Hot Springs House, we’d love to have oneon file here at the Courier.)

California. It closely resembles a small German shepherd with the excep-tion of the long snout and bushy, black-tipped tail. Because they are tol-erant of human activities and rapidly adjust to changes in their environ-ment, the highly adaptable coyote populates virtually the entire state.
Brennan notes that coyotes are actually the most populous in humanneighborhoods, in part because there are so many food sources availableto them in addition to their usual diet of rabbits, mice, birds and othersmall animals, young deer and sheep. Those additional food sourcesinclude left-out pet food and left-out pets, as well as unsecured garbagein neighborhoods and the rodents such garbage attracts. When coyotesare allowed access to human food and garbage, either deliberately orinadvertently, they can lose their fear of people and become a real dan-ger.
The key to minimizing coyote-human contact is based on educating thepublic about coyote behavior and taking sensible precautions, Brennansaid.
“Never allow coyotes to become accustomed to your surroundings,because familiarity can lead to contempt,” Brennan said.
While the DFG does not collect statistics on coyote attacks, Brennansaid, “There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t receive calls concern-ing nuisance coyotes.”
To avoid problems with coyotes, people should follow these guidelines:Never feed or attempt to tame coyotes. The result may be deadly con-
flicts or serious injuries to pets, livestock and even small children.Do not leave small children or pets outside unattended.Be aware that coyotes are more active in the spring, when feeding and
protecting their young.If followed by a coyote, make loud noises. If this fails, throw rocks in
the animal’s direction.Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over.Most coyote sightings should be reported to local animal control dis-
tricts. However, if a coyote acts aggressively or attacks people, call 911.For more information, visit www.dfg.ca.gov/keepmewild/.

Not long ago, I had occasion tospend a couple of days in aBakersfield hospital. The treatmentwas excellent, butthere are a fewthings that couldbe ironed out tomake the stay a bitmore hospitable.
First they gaveme a hospitalgown that wasopen in the backand had to be puton backwards.There's little or no dignity with yourfanny hanging in the breeze whilewearing one of those gowns. Next Iwas helped into a hospital bed withbuttons that changed it up downand all around. I had taken a seda-tive which made me fuzzy in thehead, and as I listened to the atten-dant explain all of the buttons it allwent in one ear and out the other.
Later a nurse came by and want-ed my blood, and although she triedvery hard and with sympathy, shemanaged to miss my veins on thefirst several attempts. (The next daymy arms looked like they had rottenspots all over them).
A second nurse took some rounddisks for monitor hookup and stuckthem all over my hairy chest – usingwhat I think was Gorilla Glue.
The same nurse said she didn't
want to be around when they wereremoved because screaming upsether. (I didn't want to be there either!)
The food was plentiful but healthyand bland. If you like the taste ofsaltless cardboard, you are in theright place.
During the two nights I was therea nurse or specialist came by everyhour or so to measure something, ortake a reading of whatever. Then inthe morning the same nurse wouldask if I had a restful night! I tried tobe polite and just nodded my med-icated sleepless head.
Later two doctors dropped byand examined me and listened to myheart. Both agreed that there wasone there, and it was beating prettygood. After they left I asked my wifefor an interpretation of the doctortalk and she just shook her head.
On the third day they decidedthat I could go home and they putme in a wheelchair and trotted meout to the entrance. The ride fromthe 5th floor down was handled byan attendant who I think was aNASCAR driver in training. It wasexciting to say the least!
I'm home safely now, but I stillwake up every hour waiting for thenurse with her needle. Ouch!

Leiran is responsible for improving the public's statehatchery experience by beautification and making them more visitor-friendly throughout the state of California.
