Over the "Big Top" : KVHD Protecting another CEO

Sometimes I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a firehouse yelling "Theatre." --- Me

ACT ONE: THE CEO SEVERANCE PACKAGE

NOvember Kern ValleY Healthcare District Board Meeting

"A Question of Quorum..."

BACKGROUND: CEO Tim McGlew, three years at the helm of KVHD, member if the California Hospital Association, and he forgot to wear his protection: SEVERANCE PACKAGE.

McGlew, simply stated he wanted to ensure his needs were protected, these three years later, and a new mixture in the hospital batter box, would prove to make him more vulnerable to such things as truth or scrutiny, as there was a comfort in his former quorum on the board of directors.

Not that he is fired, but in case of Fire, he has some of his $250K salary, for at least a year, until he finds new employment.

Never an emotional speaker, McGlew, showed tears welled in his eyes, as the CEO with the three years of raises to a higher than average hospital salary, was defended by his Amigos, now Former Chairwoman of the board, Victoria Alwin, Former radio Board Blowhard, Bob Jamison, and Re-elected Doctor Gross, along with David Derr, Advocated for the security of the administrator's salary.


McGlew Shown above, asking for a full year salary, The CEO was visibly shaken as the board discussed his "package?" lol

 David Derr, returning to the melee after his election in 2010, pitched a six month package for McGlew, allowing for some room to reduce the actual costs to the hospital both in dollars, and sense or sense-ability considering the financial climate.

But even that crumb was trampled upon as the dollars have Donoughts and sugar is their candy, so was this offer passed on, and the 12 month dealing began.

Dr. Robert Gross, DO, looks on as his days of Wine and Rosey future stocks in this market of mayhem, could be altered before the year begins.

My question, and will find answers, is exactly, I"VE ASKED nicely and DIRECTLY, what are all his Financial Dealings with KVHD?

He has the SNF, the Acute, ER? Surgery, his PA, Sienna Wellness, and was directing the Rural Health Clinic at one point. Why is there DIRECT answer to this lingering question of how much has he invested?

Gross told the audience that this Healthcare is a "business" but what about this business of his board and breakfast at KVHD? Inquiring minds know there's more to this soup than just the brothel.

 Former Chairwoman, Victoria Alwin, leaves a legacy of "Time Keeping" or the three minute timer, shutting off comments, faucets flowing with facts the board and administrators had been previously able to deflect with her shelter.

She gave her last gift to the CEO, beginning the discussion of a severance package, justifying it's "timely" nature as nothing. A typical plan, nothing to get the community alarmed about. Politics? Oh no, hush, you naysayers. lol

 Cal Mtg. our friends, our bonded by debt and misfortune, keepers of the money pit called KVHD, were invoked into the matter.

Even when CFO, Chester N. Beedle, record keeper for the Debt ridden hospital, claims there are monies accounted for, books are balanced, there is DISREGARD for the real owners of KVHD: THE 24 year old bond debt serviced by Cal Mtg.

Beedle and McGlew, are beholding to the holders of this mortgaged morgue of humanity, and the name slid into the paperwork.

McGlew would get no pay if there were severance from Cal Mtg. and they could have, should have, severed a long time ago with KVHD, as there were passed along a license to steal the hope of a better day for the Kern Valley residents.

They let the reins of terror descend on this valley, by not watching, not alerting, not even stirring until the coffee has boiled over.

NO GOB. No bail out with community tax monies in the general obligation arena. The trust has gone bust.

No money from the community to pay a debt that should be to society as a whole for allowing this meltdown to continue, Chair Noble, or electric, I say.

Next week on the Mayan calendar, the Illusive KVHD monthly board meeting, Wed. Dec. 5th, at 5:30 PM in the Cafeteria at the hospital in Mt. Mesa. 

Newly elected board member, Tom Wright, and former and "renewed" memeber Barbara Casas, join the board mix upcoming as the climate change continues..............

Forgetting Something?

You know that feeling that you forgot something and you linger around trying to remember?

Then that moment you suddenly realize....

" Oh, Yeah!"-- I forgot to the do the right thing."

(the "right thing" -- the most frequently forgotten item on our lists. Remember it today!) 

KVHD under FIRE...Re-constructive surgery

It's time to make a change, in strategy, while rapping up the last few years with a special pictorial slide show of events. COMING SOON....

Gadfly--According to Wikipedia:

A gadfly is a person who upsets the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or just being irritant. The term has been used to describe many politicians and social commentators.^{[citation needed]}
The term "gadfly"  was used by Plato in the Apology^[2] to describe Socrates' relationship of uncomfortable goad to the Athenian political scene.
During his defense when on trial for his life, Socrates, according to Plato's writings, pointed out that dissent, like the gadfly, was easy to swat, but the cost to society of silencing individuals who were irritating could be very high. "If you kill a man like me, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me," because his role was that of a gadfly, "to sting people and whip them into a fury, all in the service of truth." This may have been one of the earliest descriptions of pragmatic ethics.
In modern and local politics, gadfly is a term used to describe someone who persistently challenges people in positions of power, the status quo or a popular position.^[3] For example, Morris Kline wrote "There is a function for the gadfly who poses questions that many specialists would like to overlook. Polemics are healthy."^[4] Oxford University professor Bent Flyvbjerg has talked about "gadfly social science," emphasizing a key role for social science in identifying and challenging the abuse of power, whoever the perpetrator and whoever the victim ^[5] The word may be uttered in a pejorative sense, while at the same time be accepted as a description of honourable work or civic duty.^[6]
The Book of Jeremiah uses the term in a similarly political metaphor. "Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north." (46:20, Darby Bible)

Gwen Hughes Pleads guilty one count of elder abuse

The third and final defendant in the Kern Valley Healthcare District's elder abuse case plead guilty to one count of elder abuse and will be sentenced January 9th 2013.

Gwen Hughes, Director of Nursing at the KVHD Skilled nursing facility for six months in 2006, avoided ten counts of elder abuse and assault, instead admitting to one single count of abuse.

The thud that has been heard around the Kern River Valley, as former KVHD CEO, Pamela Ott, and Skilled nursing physician, Dr. Hoshang Pormir,also took deals from the California State Attorney General's office with only probation as their sentence.

Commensurate? Not close, but it's no surprise that no alteration of course has occurred within the justice system, which truly turns out to be JUST US.

The elder abuse case which highlighted abuses of staffing, pharmaceuticals, the inefficacy of government oversight to prevent such systematic failure as to potentially have lead to extremes such as death of residents.

Provided to the DOJ, Governor Jerry BRown, Attorney General Kamala Harris, who have all moved on with their political agendas, leaving in their wake, a certain quality of clarity.

They don't care.

They will not fight for simple humanity, as they must have none.

But some of us, will never stop fighting against this victim machine. Just higher up the food chain this time around.
lol See you there.

Utilities more like FUTilities

Imagine, that in the minds and hearts of those with the good intentions (beating with money of course) of moving a small trench up a mountain, From InyoKern California, across Highway 14, and threading up the 178, into our beloved Kern Valley.

This Data snake would live in a trench aside the road, and bring internet to almost 10,000 new customers, lighting up the up and downloads, for Mediacom.

The whole proposition was ordered with the help of a grant from the California Public Utilities Commission.

The Actual project of construction as ORIGINALLy accepted and planned, was 6 to 8 weeks.

But this Thirty something miles of Super DATA highway has been on hold for the last four years.

Mediacom, intersects this line with their existing tracks, and the "TEchnology" comes to the starved outer, eastern "settlements."

Utilities are part of our focus, as the HEALTH of this valley relies on some players, money pockets of hands, and there sure are a whole bunch of them on the scene, looking for something.

DAM!

So, with this in mind, I have made calls, and hope to paint a few pictures.

California Water company on the Scout again for more money as rates are hiking and the trail is overgrown with Poison oak.

I'm getting itchy, feel a trend, a desperation, pressure for others, but a shifting.

More on Mediacom and it's FIBER optic line, 1/2 inch in diameter, having trouble finding a PERMIT? lol Cal TRans is the hold up....

LOOking AT Utlilites such as Verizon situation. Had a Bill to pay no internet which had made me paperless a transition requiring two phone calls.

VERIZON OFFERS no PHONE payment without cost. BILL MATRIX, is the outside service which gets $3.50 to process my bill.

Southern California Edison will Take a Check over the phone free of charge, but has the SAME credit/debit charges for payment.

BOTH big boys offers a NIckel and DIMing Atmosphere, in a multi Million Dollar Customer base fashion.

VOLUME, as the Wizard of numbers for the Kern Valley Healthcare District, CHET BEEDLE, has repeated is the ANSWER. (no doubt)

And these monopolies have taken this as their ADVANTAGE. The playing field oh so marred, tripping as you find you can't shake these Small time crooks.

More to follow....Just getting warmed up.

Senator Jean Fuller in town mediating between local community members outraged at another rate increase for CAl WAter.

One audience member at the meeting, Town Hall, style, remarked that CAl WAter paid out dividends to stock holders, and he would rather "...be an investor than a customer."

We are investors, and What a horrible investment we have made giving these companies whose sole purpose is to make more money at a rate only their ADDICTION and fear will limit, the power to severely impact our lives.

Ratepayers group set up a situation in which the direct costs of this increase was passed along to others out of the area.

But I remember, the OFF note, I heard when told by the DRA, it's only pennies, they won't notice.

Kern Valley Sun Tanned Hide

Kern Valley Sun “Solar Flairs”

“The Shortened Days of our Lives,” the Soap opera of the Welfare/HEALTHCARE system, we lovingly call “KVHD under FIRE” rides round the land to find the Antagonist of greater proportion than a local subsidiary of Sub-moral Characters, but…we are always willing to take on the AIDERS and ABETTERS.

The local region, rather isolated, in a valley, The Kern River Valley, has a unique “containment” of media as there are two local types of weekly tabloids: The Kern Valley Sun and the Kern River Courier.

Also included in your package of “information packaging,” and of course, handling charges, the potentially derailing data not for public consumption, is the local radio station QAB, owned by Charlie Busch.

(Charlie Busch is a candidate for the KVHD board of Directors seat this election)

All three of these media outlets handle the local region only. Since media relies on advertising for it’s income, it’s no stretch to understand that they are going to protect their own salaries. (And that of their keepers)

Right KVHD administrators? These Healthcare Welfare Recipients know that playing with the “starving” and impoverished media outlets is a cheap, and efficient public relations team, as the more hungry they are, the less you will have to feed them.

(The Bakersfield Press stays off the KRV, unwilling to make a commitment to the valley. Drinks our Milk shake ups, but not buying our Cattle. News is scattered, over a broad area, specifics are a rare treat, but there are some, spotty efforts. Yes, they also please their master too.)

So, it goes that with Tim McGlew, CEO, of the Kern Valley Healthcare District, recipient of a pay scale far above that of the equal sized hospitals, which were created ideally to aide the “underserved” and Rural communities.

It was Front page news last week, as the hospital and it’s CEO‘s salary, headlined the tabloids priority list, receiving his pay increase from a board of directors elected for oversight.

Let’s just begin with the words Written, by Susan Barr, (the lower the Bar, the more likely to trip over it,) but she writes that the public agrees that McGlew deserved another raise.

The whole VALLEY? Lol

Outsiders, government officials, “RATIONAL individuals too? California Hospital Association?”

It’s a boot licking maneuver to begin speaking of the raise as a subject of interest, then to make a lazy strike at the reality, by saying, “The public agrees he deserves it,” is puerile.

“Jamey and Johnny think Mcglew deserves more money, because I said so, that‘s why” could have just as easily been implanted in that story.

But to add to this obvious Sycophant like gesture on the part of the effort to rally support for a public relations ploy, Barr makes a statement that not only did McGlew get a raise, but ALL The hospital employees received raises too. (Happy days are here again begins playing when the page is turned)

Isn’t that good to hear?
Hospital employees are you getting this? lol

She did not, however, mention the off-setting report that when McGlew received his first financial pat on the butt two years ago, the EMPLOYEES did NOT get a pay adjustment or raise.

So, to have the SUN flair up with this Sales pitch, burns us all out on the idea we can expect to hear any sort of discernment or distinguishing between their own “Special media needs” agenda and that of the hospital.

Or any other matter, such as the DAM project. The Sun is a joy to work AGAINST as writing about the Sun is about as EASy as making Rice Crispy treats. (let me throw a little flour on my face, phew!)

Also MISSING is the information about past CEO salaries and benefits.

Hmm, wonder why? Lol

This is an important feature of an article that is directed at ACTUALLY conveying something other than financial Desperation on the part of the newspaper.

That may have been a road less traveled, and certainly would NOT have helped McGlew’s position, but it could have been noted that over-spending, lenient hiring practices, lack of oversight, extra benefits, are all hallmarks of the KVHD history.

If McGlew had said, “no” to his increase, donated it to his favorite KVHD cause, such as “Women’s issues,” we may have well ALL agreed. Doing something kind is rarely polarizing. Taking another salary increase in an impoverished community, is…

Who is Doctor Montez?

The KVHD Rural Health Clinically dead after Dr. Jack Nadler left his position late last year, got a revival as the SUN beamed in on the latest replacement.

The new doctor on staff, Dr. Montez.

After a year of having Board member, Skilled nursing Facility medical Directors, Sienna Wellness owner, Dr. Robert Gross, DO, sign pharmaceutical prescriptions for surprised patients who had only been seen by the Physician’s Assistants at Rural Health, the hospital found it’s new doctor. 

Montez, a Self declared, OBGYN, which is tough to figure why this is the first time I have ever heard of a doctor “Self Declaring” anything, has been given the STATUS card of bringing women into the “Self declared” clinics to treat FEMALE issues.

And in a way that apparently only SELF DECLARED OBGYN’s can do it, with flair.

The Sun brought this new idea to our attention with several articles highlighting the SELF DECLARING physician, Dr. Montez, as an advocate for women.

McGlew may have founded this term, Self Declaring, women’s advocate, but the KV Sun picked it up and wrote away on it. They put the buzz on and the bees did the rest.

I asked the hospital if there any sort of BILLING advantages to having a SELF DECLARED OBGYN on board, but was quickly lead down the confusing lane of “you’ll have to ask so and so and they can’t really talk about it, “oh, that’s the clinic business,” and there is no way for me to tell.”

But I tried to find a reason initially that this status of self declaration, there has to be a reason. However, there have been other issues arising, which I will keep readers appraised, as to why this is an issue.

KVHD has gotten brave again as they are willing to speak in a reality they shape in a weekly newspaper.

My rationale is to ERR on the side of LESS people being hurt by the practices at KVHD. Certainly there are successes in this district, but they are ONLY that way as standards have gotten so low, that we the customer begin to think if we were not hurt, killed, scarred, choked, overdosed, under dosed, mentally abused, left in the broom closet, that we DID OKAY!

Closer inspection of the treatment of the district is really showing it’s got a GREAT FAÇADE and a lousy interior.

This does not mean that there are not compassionate and dedicated individuals working in the district, I think there are always those who RISE above the circumstances.

But then there’s the media, who forget that the WATCH is an important function, it’s one for the PUBLIC and those who CARE.

So, for fun and comedy, stick to where the SUN don’t shine, but for those who may rely on healthcare or have sick family members, of importance to them, find another source.

There may not be one yet, but there is space on the internet for any concerned, studious, type who may want to serve a heapin’
helping of hospitality.

The other tabloid coming from Wofford Heights, did not take up the role of researching the hospital either. They have shied away from controversy, but they do apparently do ADS for KVHD and have some interactions.

Whether they like it or not, omission of facts, or concerns, are just as deceptive as openly shaping stories to reflect a positive picture.

The Courier played it conservative, considering the demographic of folks in this region, they were from an era, where if “you don’t have something nice to say, say nothing at all.”

(got quiet out there.)

How insane, to avoid the WHOLE of the parts, to eliminate data necessary for critical understanding of the issue?

I was not INVITED to the hospital expenditure called the Strategic Plan event, as I was told I could ONLY come if I had positive questions.

Well, I consider questions positive by nature, but if they are limiting my questions or anyone else’s, then it’s NOT a reliable result.

And if the Courier, like the SUN, is but a messenger for the hospital administration’s concern that it is BETTER TO LOOK GOOD than to be GOOD at what you do, then it’s best to drop any claim to be here for the community good.

That is where our choices end.

No amount of time and effort has been spared in my attempts to EXPOSE the players at this hospital and above the limits of the KRV. And until there is JUSTICE I will always be right behind, waiting for the Wildebeest to Stumble, and then again, I’ll give chase.

For now, I will take my effort to another level, not that this higher level is actually level, it’s formed of a more solid bulwark, but that is my specialty, working with the BULL.

But these are the folks who feed at a much bigger, more plentiful trough, no less pigging out, just a bigger food bowl. They are also responsible for the system in place which allows the tiny KVHD to routinely bring in their own auditors, select their own media, pay out huge sums of money, hire friends, get away with murder basically.

The victims of such deeds, are here in the KRV, and it is all of us, including those who would collude and cloud the record as it has not been straight nor does it appear to be headed in that direction any time soon.

These Healthcare/Welfare recipients are victimizing themselves, buried deep in deceit and even willing to lie and criticize their own food chain to get ahead.

While I keep them jumping, they’re exposed to being eaten by a bigger fish than I.

Playing one side against the other can be a dangerous proposition. They are forgetting where their bread is buttered.

Yes, 80% of Cal Mtg. (Bond Debt Holder) employees, most especially Mabel Chan,  Believed that in 2010 KVHD residents would vote to TAX their own properties to settle the debt.

Where did they get an idea like that? Lol

SUSPECTS: Chet Beedle, CFO, KVHD? Tim McGlew CEO? Caldwell, Flores and Winters, sellers of these tax bonds called GOB’s?

Gullible Travels everywhere, even to the top echelon, where being DUPED by these rural health magnates, must have brought some SHAME as Measure G plummeted to defeat. LOL

Yet, Cal Mtg. continues to make excuses for KVHD, without realizing how ridiculous and at times, look at the records, criticizing them, publicly railing against them, or openly telling stories of how one such CFO, could pull the wool over their eyes.

If Cal Mtg. reads the KV Sun, they are probably appeased.

The local media have a new dam on the truth, regarding this project on the lake too. Politically speaking, the likes Congressman Kevin McCarthy and Senator Jean Fuller, the Army Corps of Engineers, pretend to make friends such as the SUN so they can fill the paper with their own propaganda.

Or as I note with the political cats on a hot tin roof, they AVOID talking altogether on the subject.

(I’m Sure Romeo from Fuller’s office is going to explain one day why she thinks an INDEPENDENT STUDY is not necessary for the dam project. Or McCarthy will tidy up the questions about how this 40 million Spending spree has been a great influx of cash for his office.)

It’s a maze and the rats are fighting for the cheese, and I’m making sandwiches.

Who wants a Grilled Cheese?

It’s a simple love story of MONEY and POWER, and the victims of such victims. A CATCH 22.

RUMOR HAS IT...

Rumor Has it…

Here’s our list of rumors from the Kern River Valley- Lake Isabella Region, regarding issues of importance, such as the DAM INVASION and the HEALTHCARE/WElFARE program called KVHD, Kern Valley healthcare District.

In the KNEWS today…

Reports of residents of the Skilled Nursing Facility breaking free from the hospital have been reported over the last week. (Watered down Generics?)

There are many conflicting stories, but RUMOR has IT, one got a way, and has yet to be found. Lawsuit making history kind of stuff.

It is also said, that a man in a wheel chair from the hospital was struck by a car in his run from the district’s long term care facility.

Will check with the Sheriff’s office as a helicopter was said to have been part of the search for the escaped residents. Some report must have been filed as this would be required by law. (sorry, I forgot I’m in the lawless lands)
No word from CEO, Tim McGlew, yet on the circumstances surrounding these SNF “Breaks.”

A follow up call to the hospital on Friday, had McGlew busy in LA at a meeting. I’m sure we will know a bit more next week.

Rumor For RENT…

Rural Health Clinic has been rumored to have an issue treating PAIN in their patients.

A cure for overcrowding at a clinic, would be to stop treating certain conditions, and asking or sending or ignoring patient needs causing them to seek assistance elsewhere.

Clinica Sierra Vista, an independent company, may have a new way to make money, treat Rural Healthcare patients who can‘t obtain full service. (duh)

As Some rumors have it that there is a problem if you have pain, and want to treat that pain, it won‘t be thru KVHD‘s Rural health center. An influx of former rural patients is rumored to have begun as the clinic doctor is rumored to be shying away from signing CERTAIN types of medication prescriptions.

Oddly, this is after CEO, Tim McGlew, opened ALL our EYEs wide to the need for PAIN MANAGEMENT last year.
Could it be they are managing pain by NOT doing any thing at all? 

Question off to hospital for response.

How much money is CEO Tim McGlew making, including ALL his benefits? RUMOR has it, I’m missing a few links…

Raises at the hospital? Some employees are squawking as the CEO rode home to vacation for a spell after the hard fought RAISE he won at the September board meeting.

Rumor has it the employee base maybe feeling left out on the left over monies.

Merit badges can only go so far (just guessing) but rumor has it there is some serious friction between the haves and have nots.

Paperwork request will be submitted on the Mchistory of his Mcsalary. And the basis of the employee complaints are only RUMOR, so to have it, we need a few facts…Hello.



Finally,

RUMOR HAS IT, rumor has it….

The BIGGEST fish to enter the KRV pond of late, Army Corps of Engineers, have engineered a way to quickly get to work on the dam prior to any sorting out of issues such as REALITY!

Predators such as ACE, can be found in all walks of life, they eat and spit out critics such as me. They won’t answer, they will not be held accountable, such as the 40 million dollar “Safety media blitz” and when the time comes to say something sensible, They won’t and don’t have to.

This is your Army Corps of Engineers. Be Proud America, these are the forces fighting to take your land, money, and dignity. (Some may have had mothers, but many were created in Petri dishes in a lab. Those are the nice ones, the others came from Katrina Disaster, and have a thick layer of skin where there once was a chest cavity for a heart. lol) 

Get REAL and GET OUT of our VALLEY until there is some Check other than the balance in the accounts of those who would so easily walk into our homes, our town, with a fishy tail of sudden interest based on safety.

Put a Dam in the  neighborhoods being Glued together in the BAkersField once was a Grove of Oranges, squeezed out by the Upper Middle Food Chain membership. The houses, one after the other, until suburbia covers the Pock marks left by INDUSTRIES such as OIL and other unholy, earth Scorchers.

Yeah, a DAM at the Mouth of the Canyon, where it’s Narrow, why not a new, INNOVATI”ON?

Out of the BOX means, take off the lid and Climb out. And to do this a BRAVE company of Independent, authentic auditors of some merit, need to be UnRESTRICTED, in their tireless reappraisal of current plans.

Congratulations to Community Members for Questioning, X-raying these Claims on this dam and it’s Plans. Money and Land, sounds familiar, oh yeah, the Indians who were here could RELATE to this predicament. lol Day jaw dropping Vu...

PROVE IT FIRST!

(Hell, poke a hole in the dam thing and call me stupid. Otherwise, I’m going to poke a fork into you and call you done. Dinner fork or dessert fork? Lol)

Rumor has it….
Feel free to send in or call with “RUMOR has it” stories as they appear to be more factual than the supposed facts we are given by elected and paid officials, in answer to serious questions.

Cal Mtg. and the World of money WAR

Austerity Days in Sacramento, California

There was a time we heard the cries of desperate attempts to convince voters to support taxing themselves, which went over like a lead balloon. But an alternative to the Democratic Governo’r strategy became to add on his own FEES, as he deems necessary.

Such is the age of Austerity and it’s awfully strange ALIGNMENT of causes which are ALLOWEd funding whereas there are selective, Particular areas where this money can be gathered.

There are efforts on both sides to ARGUE who and what agencies will get this funding, whether it federal or some educational allotments, and everpresent is the Zillions available in the Healthcare Industry.

Also, up to par is the Hollyweird Crowd, the propogandists, the media, who assail us with their droning on convincing us entertainment, money, control is achieved in leering at a television set or a computer or a game on a video machine.

There is government spending to fund the television programming, and there are fractured groups vying for the spending.

Such as grant money for support of ARTs and this would include a very suspect practice I have noted recently.

Joey Travolta, brother to John Travolta, who has been in the limelight for thirty plus years, has taken on the cause, or at least to appear to do this, of mentally challenged children.

The State of California along with what I assume to be a parceling of fund for these grants throughout other states, amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Several parents of this program were concerned there was some unfair advantage to certain children, and they took only certain types for which they received this funding.

When I took a small dive into simply another pond being drained by those who cut the transparency, favoritism an option in this cut throat econonomic environment, for a “worthy cause?”

How do you say that Joey Travolta who appears to have had opportunities to get grant money for his movies he makes paying little to the stars who are with a promise they will be helped in their careers as Actors?

Just another place to spend money on the top players of the games. Travolta is a big name, but what about people who would be willing to adequately distribute? Where is the opportunity?

Not there as Foundations and grant organizations, government tax monies are frittered away so that top dogs get the whole can of food, while shoveling some kibble down and calling it a program which has some merit.

How we could possibly begin to oversee the veracity, of which there is little, is impossible. This is a smoke screen of money changing hands.

And it is especially hiding in places where the money is expected, hoped, to be spent for the Benefit of those who need it. But that does not seem to be the case.

The Kern River Valley is under seige of organizations or other types of “things” which seek to control the resources, the land, and money.

The Lake Isabella Dam Project has that same agenda, within a few years of SUDDENLY becoming an interest of reinforcing this dam for safety reasons, a community has been swept off it’s feet with the Army Corps of Engineers arrogantly landing here beginning to give the orders.

After a few years of so-called planning there has been no OUTSIDE oversight of private individuals allowed to examine the need to Construct any thing on this dam.

NO independent studies have been submitted, as there is an URGENCY of some scarce explanation, some have included a “NOAH”S ARK” type of flood which has entered the Propoganda field.

WHAT LANDED here is an unidentified Land and Money Grabber, a new craft that takes its prey without a shout or a hoot or holler,, as the almighty dollar drives this force to move out of it’s way.

The Goal  may not be a Dam thing what is being SOLD to the public or it’s public representatives, but this is a major event, and is being PUSHED down the throats of all who wish to Oppose it.

So, far, there has been nearly 40 million spent, how necessary was this expenditure? To pay off those who would close your mouth, disagree, divide you? YES.

In this event there is no logic except pure FORCE. The force which is driving the whole world right now, an ugly presence of STRUGGLE for the resources, the KNOWLEDGE of technologies, the ownership of massive power.

It’s in this area, has been as the Kern Valley Healthcare District partnering with CAL MTG. part of the Office of Statewide Healthcare Development and Planning Department, twenty five years ago for a hospital expansion which turned into a subtraction for the whole community, claims AUSTERITY issues.

To heck with making any sense, and so many have thrown away their willingness to fight, as there is no reason this community would have been asked to pay to BAILOUT a Bond indenture that could have bankrupted and been done years ago.

Hypocrisy forms a lousy provider of fair and adequate distribution of resources, yet we are daily being fed this lie.

Cal Mtg. sure could have done something other than extend this errant loan project out forty years, they were bound by contract to oversee the tiny hospital’s plans, yet they were also in control of who would RuN the hospital.

CEO’s are apparently a recipient of grand sums of money at KVHD along with other perks. I’m sure the pressure is on But KVHD CEO, Tim McGlew, seems to be in a trend being a Vice President of the “home for Jewish Parents” part of a Multi-million project with “Go See Cal” Funding.
Ending up in the Kern River Valley? Tim McGlew presence here a coincidence or potentially some other reason?

There are small and big animals of survival of the “reap the mostest” the latest of the monsters created by our environment of inherent hostilities, manufactured by a system gone wild!

Hoarding is not just people collecting newspapers and irregular items, this is Oprah herself whose fortune is outrageous, but is a CATCH22 which caught a whole world.

We can’t get around it, it is here, there is frenzy, there is hoarding, there is also LYING to us about our condition, and the word is AUSTERITY.




America: Austerity for some, but a few.

Uncle SCAM wants you and your land too.

American Government Invasion of Lake Isabella...

Frankly Scarlett I don’t give a Dam (the lake Isabella dam that is)

I thought I would begin this diatribe with a few notes of humor, as I think there are few residents here in the Kern River Vaelly who think of the idea of TAKING over the valley, it’s roads, it’s water, it’s sense of dignity, as an “improvement Project. “

Last night, I took time to go to the meeting of the Lake Isabella Dam Project, presented by the “Dam Task Force.”

This team of locals are volunteering to step in between a Federal case of “theft of land and resources” lead by the Army Corps of Engineers and Congressman Kevin McCarthy and our local community.

Brave souls or misguided? You answer the question. Lol

There are many details to this plan, but then there is a MISSING detail, called an INDEPENDENT STUDY.

To me, this is vital and the rest is a crime. Until such information is provided and provided with some OUTSIDE oversight, there is NOTHING, not a DAM thing to argue about. Do not proceed do  not pass go...

I got the distinct impression that task force was willing to cow tow to government officials and audience members were struggling to form adequate arguments and questions in hopes of being heard.

The audience included people who are about to be looking at losing their homes, it’s called: EMINENT DOMAIN. This means these big, baddies from the Washington DC, entitlement programs, Otherwise known here as “High paid welfare recipients” want the land and will TAKE it. 

As most people recognize, our property values, fell the moment this Plan to dam our community was simply uttered. Our peace of mind along with it.

I have served the question to Congressman McCarthy and his staff, Senator Jean Fuller’s Staff, and eventually to anyone who may BENEFIT from this DAM SCAM or who has taken an OATH to represent the local residents.

I’m going to make this short and bitter, as sweet is the deal these “Welfare from Washington” types love in terms of POOLS of money.

Big money, half a billion?

Well, that is the estimate, but here’s a quick idea of how this money is spent. It’s already incurred nearly 40 MILLION in costs.

Forty Million and yet there is not a blink a flinch, from anyone.

Umm, is this is your moment of Zen? Think on it, a couple years of testing, a meeting here, there and before you know it, you spend FORTY MILLION DOLLARS…lol

But in the end of the plan to supposedly protect the city of Bakersfield, and portions of Lake Isabella, from a “POssible” DAM age seismically it is presumed, this plan includes the Message: SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

I’m assuming that means every promise, every item, falls into the wash if these denizens of democracies dark side have anything they would wish to add, subtract, or otherwise control.

This is a FULL blown take over of the valley.

I am expected to trust in this project, yet, they are NOT willing to put their own Specifications, their own Theories to the TEST with an independent study?

The age of austerity is only for the poor, the disabled, the suffering, the uninsured, the unemployed, the under employed, elderly, disabled, hungry, children, ETC… but there is money in these here hills, I guess is the best way to describe this INVASION of the KRV.

However, let me voice another concern I picked up on during this meeting: it’s not my problem.

As residents of a trailer park destined to be a former trailer park, spoke of their plight, their fears of relocating, I could not help but SENSE a certain “Classist” attitude, rearing it’s ugly head.
I am sure those who read this blog, know I am for fair play, an empowerment of our fellow man, and this is not what I am feeling is happening here.

The attitude of attracting “better” people, meaning they have more money and nicer houses, makes me cringe, and it does not deserve a voice.

Yes, this already does not seem to bring out the best in those who are involved in the resistance.

But questions were raised in the audience that test the numbers and charts and graphs that are being used to support this project.

I applaud all who are unwilling to be spoon fed numbers, from eager beavers from the top of the political food chain. Thank you.

Again, there is a serious problem here. And one that will be addressed. Those questions of accountability of the facts of this situation, will be pushed off the edge of my blog.

The plan includes also, a REROUTE of highways 178 and 155, with the promise, subject to change of course, to include alternative routes.

This is to be done as early as 2013. (What a deal hey?)

So, top of the list:

NO INDEPENDENT STUDY

NEED INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF COSTS SO FAR

EMINENT DOMAIN TAKING THE LAND

I could go on about how the locals will not be beneficiaries of jobs or receive other favorite status, but it’s enough, the top three here are plenty to go on.

More to follow.

(I am building my own Dam project. It’s called damning those who would do this…lol.)

9/11/2012 A day TO KNOW your World...

They Call it a day to remember, this anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy on the AMerican People and all who live in this world where there is communication.

I remember, that day.

I also remember the odd feeling that there was something disturbing beyond that of the events being portrayed on my television set. I saw a plane fly into a building which SEEMED to be Exploding from the bottom to the top.

In fact, I felt I was being manipulated into believing that this was an act of terrorism by a group of dissidents, not associated with the AMerican government.

But it may have been far more nefarious than that.

This is the anniversary of a day that many people have used to springboard to the TRUTH. They have asked questions, made comments, examined video, searched documents, all in search of this allusive TRUTH.

And now we have documentaries, agents who have turned on their masters, and those who will NO longer accept the nonsense, the propoganda, and who will only be satisfied by the real fact, the truth it's called for those who have lost touch.

THe only way to SEE the reality of our peculiar situations is to accept there is a TRUTH which is the record of WHAT REALLY happened.

I"m not going to provide you details of the 9/11 events, another theory or any thing else, I am saying this was the impetus for the seekers of truth to begin sniffing the trail of deceit which goes all over the "known"
world.

We had a President, a BUSH, a family not unfamiliar with the Middle east. NOt unfamiliar with the white house and a VICE PRESIDENT who took a business, called, Haliburton to new levels. Haliburton became the big STAR in the sky in the Middle East as they were allowed to take all the WAR contracts.

So, WAr Contractor, Haliburton, was the Cream rising to the TOP?

Well, the SCUM rises to the top too. And the scum suffocates all life that is under the water. ANd so it was, the war on terrorism, the NEWEST plan to quash all choices, such as the Patriot ACt. BUsh and Obama both put their Signatures, their SEAL to that unfortunate document.

Acting like a Patriot is a yankee doodle dandy, and it is an AMerican Dream, and a BIG DAM lie. LOL

The World is a UNEVEN Game...

It is a world where the playing field has been bent this way and that. In one day, 9/11, we were shown a mistake we had made: TRUSTING the government. Or trusting that there are people left who are UNWILLING to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead.

But the forces that be, are never satisfied with only these minor sins. The bottom line of th e BOTTOM FEEDERS, is the FULL and Utter CONTROL of everything.

I know it sounds as if I believe there is nothing good in this world. Why , in fact, I wonder I really do, if there is much left to worry about. AS most souls are sold off to the idea that this is a GOOD world and if we simply CONFORM or submit, we will too, be rewarded.

Sad, but religion and OPRAH and her minions, are selling this proposition.

Here's my idea: First we are VICTIMs of a horrible, base, ugly system of Illusion. It's goal is to trap, enslave, demoralize, anything and everything. 

It has been successful, as there are still folks who fasley believe there is some freedom. THey also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa CLAWS, lol. (Santa is real, and is currently taking names of who is naughty and nice.) They are okay with lying in most cases. They are Deceipt's favorite types, who will just do it, cheat, lie, and at least keep quiet.

The people I happen to have the most dislike are the ones who will throw their OWN in front of the bus. They are willing to scapegoat. Not just lying, but blaming and creating victims.

Money is the honey

KVHD, Kern Valley Healthcare DIStrict, just gave a 4 percent raise to their CEO, Tim MCglew, and I watched a whole valley of people who are barely able to put food on the table or pay for insurance, sit with glazed donoughts for eyes, and allow this hypocrisy to continue.

This is a tragedy, but it's a tragedy for those who "SEE NO EVIL" or speak about how there is no evil, just CRITICS, like me.

We have seen no raises to the average workers and KVHD has talked Austerity, but they have also lucratively lavished a few of their own, such as McGlew.


More victims are Created who will not protest, who do NOT support the truth, rather they are looking to RISE to the Top of the pond at any cost. We see underlings at KVHD who take the deals, whether it's a position of making more money, or having more control, they are dealing both under and above the table.

(Naughty, naughty)

Systematically deceived...

WE are taught to be powerless. WE are taught there are RACES who are Better. We aRE Taught Women are less than men. WE are taught to be a Disgusting type of creature. LOL Sorry, but since this is an anniversary of something so reprehensible as to draw the ire of even those who cannot fathom this nasty matter could possibly occur, that I take a moment to Harp on the tRUTH.

TRuth is this is a cruel world. We do and particpate in the propogation of this unfortunate Deceptive, oppressive, manipulative game called life.

I think some would argue with me on this point, and let them. There is no reason to simply accept what I say, either it resonates with you or it doesn't. If it doesn't, I say move on, you have a LONG LIFE to lead and plenty of time to gather your thoughts. In fact, if this is what people want for a life, I say GIVE IT TO THEM. LOL

I, however, am not willing to give up  the idea of something BETTER and GREATER than this horrific romp where there are iMMORal types who would like to be PRESIDENT, or who would be a GOVERNOR, or any other way to dominate as opposed to being an equalizer.

EQUALITY and Qality, high ideals which apparently take incidents such as 9/11, to SHAKE up our False sense of security, and begin to rumble is the thunder, and hopefully, the light bulb will turn on for many.

This is not our deSTINY. This is simply a stopping point, where some of us must and will have to RETHINK our position in life.

So, think of the possibilities. 

BLAMIng types such as BUSH or CHENEY, certainly gives credence to the idea that there is a puppet master out there, who is pulling all the strings.  But then they are STILL RESPONSIBLE. They are still going to have to face their roles in these crimes against the world.

They call them conspiracy theories, they make fun and laugh at those who would spot the mistakes in their 9/11 story books. But Government types, those who had hands on and off the tragedy which killed firefighters, those who would risk to rescue, however, the Story From Washington DC, did not add up.

And we are in the know. We know that there is more to this than a simple RELIGIOus FAnaTIC at work. And we know we are in for more. Obama has talked about Marshal law, and California Governor Jerry Brown, spoke of anarchy.

They also seem to be ACTING and Directing the action to lean that way. TAke away more from people, as we are BECOMING ALERT and awake. WE are SEEING, and that is causing a reaction from those who do not wish to be seen in their true colors, form. 

self fulfilling prophecy

Jerry Brown, California Governor, has added something new to his naughty resume, IMPOSING TAXES and calling them FEES. He has grabbed onto some power as he has been unopposed.

Where is the LA (out of touch with...) THe TIMES? Where is the investigative reporter?

LOIS LANe, lol, where's our Lois Lane?

Brown will continue to manipulate the law, and he will CUT the poor at the throat as they have too much time to think. And oversight, government agencies, are only for SHOW as this boat has set sail in California.

Hollywood and Jerry Brown, they are so close that he attends all the funerals. lol (yes, extreme, but also an interesting connection)

So, WHILE you WERE SLEEPING...

Okay. We are currently on FACE BOOK or chatting, fixing the car, sipping a cancer causing Coca Cola and we DO NOT realize how quickly these people in power are running roughshod over the denizens of this life.

This World has yet to unleash it's ugliness, it's true ugliness, and those who wish it to change, must get out there and begin to speak up. To Show Which side of the banner they are on. TRUTH o'r DECEPTION.

This blog is CARRYING THE BANNER OF TRUTH. We accept the challenge and all that goes with it, so that there will be CHANGE.

On this anniversary, I send a MESSAGE of hope to all. There is only one side to be on where you will transcend this scum covered pond.

You  ARE MORE, not less. I teach power not power less ness.

Thanks to those who have suffered in the light of the truth, who have given for the cause of compassion and truth, it is appreciated. It is my own energy which is expanded each time I find another who lives only for something better, unwilling to bend to the forces of negativity. THank you!

Democratic National Convention: Starring....Kamala Harris

I think we recently looked at the Bright future that California Attorney General has with the Democratic party, as the AG Took to beating Obama's drum, as her obvious Grooming and Demographically Alluring qualities, put her in the forefront for Such offices as Governor, Or even perhaps, a Washington Post?

Shown Above, the AG, before She was AG, actually a few days before she was elected AG, as Her and that familiar Guy, not family guy, Jerry Brown in 2010 in Bakersfield, admired each other and basked in a limelight, not so sublime.

(In the LEFT hand corner of the pic above, is Me, the snarky one, interested in some real words to assuage the pain of the Disservice KVHD caused to so many. And thanks to this woman above, will continue with OUT a single word from the AG that doesn't seem to say "we're sorry." )

Remembering that day, by chance, I had heard of this Stop on the Campaign trail, a few days out of the Novermber, 2010 election. "what the heck"  I thought, and grabbed my gear, a KVHD under F"IRe, business card for my vest, and off we went.

There was a struggle for cameras and space in the tiny pizza joint, but we set up our stuff, and I was actually on the front page of the Bakersfield Californian, the following day, staring up or at my camera person, lovingly, as these two political Hot dogs, toasted their buns over a Democtratic fire, lead by Obama in the National front, their drums and horns adjusted to his message.

Kamala Harris, former Prosecutor for MArin County, (How many real estate fraud prosecutions could she make? The Marin county version of tough on crime...LOL) and a tough on "Some thing" (other than elder abuse or collusion, white collar crime, or any sort of "other than KVHD" category). 

Well, I saw her, I spotted this woman and now Have her Career in my sights. How she could conjure herself a National League player, the National Convention, Democrats brought out their SHOW HORSE, and paraded her in the crowd to gauge a response.

She winnied and very little neighing, and this Quiet AG of California, not one to clamour off to a Hollywood funeral, but sometimes Speaking of "priniciples in politics" speaking to graduating classes of Law students. Joking about her parents, the "60's protesters" so she Knows, oh yeah, this is her badge of honor. The off spring of parents who saw fit to protest and then Leave off, or are they protesting their own daughter's conversion to the "System?"

Her words are mellifluous and appealing in so many ways, in so many ways she's Obama in Drag. LOL Okay, that's not a stretch as our CA AG, Miss Harris, has empty words.

The picture above, me craning to see these two big Democratic ticket players doing their bit in front of the conservatively bent Kern county backdrop. Neither of them, would look me in the eyes. They were incapable of real contact. Their Propaganda, had no heart or no content of real concern.

So, here we are talking about the star of the Democratic party, the Obama of women, a "whisperer" a crowd pleaser, we can eat at her empty trough, as this is the AG who came out at the end of this elder abuse, the second situation with Pamela Ott, the CEO, who walked with three years of probation, and with a Cheer, recognized the good job the AG did.

What a ticket to ride, as the Democratic party pushes its newest member of the country club.  (Good Grief Charlie Brown. )

I say, to her, and the whole DOJ, let's debate fair play and principles. I love a good debate.  And I love fair play and principles.

Just because a politician says she has not lost her principles, does not mean the evidence that she really has should not be thrown out.  ---Laura Hart 2012

Who exactly does  KVHD serve that two big Democrats can ignore the obvious? Seriously, lol ....

California Department of Justice "Under STaffed" or Under "compassionate" : ELder ABUSE Verdict

THe Department of Justice is a Creative way of  Distinguishing a power source of some widespread use. There are more Agencies making some confusion the norm but one Agency has had the Reins in terms of Investigating and Prosecuting the WHOLE story of what happened at the Kern Valley Healthcare District, in Mt. Mesa, California.

THE DOJ are wheeling and Dealing the CARDS for many pllayers and they are the Top doggies in California, Attorney General, Kamala Harris, the leader of the pack. Harris, elected to the office of AG in 2010, alongside fellow DEMoCrAT, Jerry Brown as he Sailed into th e Governor's Mansion.

Where is the Justice Mrs. Ms. or Miss Harris? Or..mister? lol Steve Muni, Lead Prose cuter, whose prose is Cuter than other lawyers? Muni, up against, DOnald ETra and William HOWARD GInsBURG for almost a year, then a sudden Downgrading of storm conditions, to Windy, an dblustey and pOOF, in come the Public Defender, Case ends, and they all plead out.

Wow, yawn, stretch. 


Who the Hell knows as there is no satisfactory explanation for the JUDGEment oF Error RAther than selectively hearing the call to Duty.

I cannot Conceive that this Monicker, De Part ment of Just ice has no weight to throw around, therefore this IS the CA DOJ version of Throwing WEIGHT around...Hmm, who and What is gumming up the works?


So Pro bation, is a Merit of Acheivement, two Defendants, getting three years of HARD probation...?

IN fact, there are those out there who have done LESS to deserve a Good Slap on the Behind, and yet they receive this Disparity in Justice. They Suffer in a system of Incarceration, Selective. (Hmm. Very unfair, cruel in fact. Scales not even attempt the balance. )

Outwardly and openly Being CRUEL. This is a Bad state of the STate of CAlifornia Justice Dealers. 
WHat a HOOT that no one Notices what is a Great Ruse pushed right in our FACES.

WHat is happening INSIDE the DOJ in California and Beyond? WHat has Gotten into them?

LOsing means there was NO True Acknowledgement, of Deeds so dire, and NO deconstruction of the Network that ALLowed this environment to exist. Un opposed for too long. A NEt Loss, is on the books of the DOJ.

Sorry, Can't Go with the flow on this.

 It is fine that others agree to Disagree, but those who fell victim were helpless to this massive potential plot of NOTE.

I suggest, or hint, to you now, that there maybe a LINK In this chain, to other practices of a cowardly, self serving, agenda. A SYSTEm.

Yes, there would be no other reason as the reasons have repeatedly been stated on this blog. And else where. And in the back of minds, in the murmurs, in the acknowledgement of the Mingling money and Healthcare, MEDI-SiN is the result.

Power Corrupts, and the Corrupt are a MaJority. LOL In Case you Forgot to Acknowledge today.

THE world has CREATED enemies, that may or may not be, and this serves their own devices. BUT WHAT has the DOJ done?

Questions I have. I would really want to know. I"ll continue to pursue some feedback.

Kern Valley Healthcare DIStrict Board of Directors MEEting: SEPT. 5, 2012

This WEek the Kern Valley Healthcare D"istrict in it's Transparent Monthly meeting forum, Will be bringing news to it's valley residents and Patient pool, the new Salary Increase for KVHD CEO, Timothy McGlew.

McGlew, who came to the Kern River Valley, following the sudden resignation of former CEO, and avid "solitaire" fan, Rick Carter, who resigned shortly into his Kern River Valley career, and Salary, with benefits including Travel, planes, trains and a Stipend for lunch.

When Residents thought the 175K a year salary given Carter for his time at the Helm of KVHD, along with his Fringe benefits, would by them a grand leader,Along Came Tim MCglew, whose salary has Eclipsed them all.

This Month, McGlew will see his salary again Ascend into an Atmosphere of "AUSTERITY" every where in Goverment, EXCEPT: KVHD.

THe Ceo, MCGlew, coming from a background with the HOME FOR JEWISH PARENTS, and a Project of substantial worth, working with KVHD Debt Control PRogram, CAl MTG. who CONTROLS the Hospital's bond indenture, was FAMILiAR with McGlew. They had Worked with him on a project for the HJP, to the tune of 60 million.

Though 60 million is a STarter figure,  at the Jewish home, this was a Real figure that has been pAID out at KVHD. The tiny community hospital has paid out over 60 million on the DEBT related to the 1988, BOND INDENTURE, it was afforded by CAL MTG.

In return the community, comprised of a demographic of mostly retired persons, disabled, and elderly residents, were mired in controversy starting with a nursing Center which was projected to contain 140 beds and constructed only half that at 70, but at the twice the projected cost. Residents are repeatedly asked to BAIL out the hospital with a tax themselves measure.

BAil OUT and RAise the SAlARy in the same breath, has been the attitude of the recent regime run by Mcglew.

McGlew, has spoken of the Home for Jewish PArents construction project and his RELATIONSHIP with CAL MTG. Debt holder, however, McGlew has avoided questions as to this subject when it did not relate directly to the KVHD bailout attempted in 2010.

McGlew, and Board member, Bob Jamison, as the radio Disc JOck, took the CEO and CFO, Chet Beedle aboard his Radio talk show and Shook the town down for votes on tax "MEASURE "G" for McGlew two years ago.

Expanding the KVHD hospital has been set aside until 2014, when the hospital strategic plan has scheduled an other attempt at getting help by having local tax payers, pay more in  property taxes.

Mcglew and KVH D CFO, CHet Beedle, both, in 2010, urged community leaders to support their Measure G, and CLAIMED to have 80 percent Community support to do this. After the Ballots were counted there was a Sigh of Disbelief as the "TAX AND SNIFF" measure apparently did not appeal to local KNoses.

The CEO, will share his new salary level this week at the TRanslucent or parent or whatever, meeting.

The KVHD BOD meeting begins at 5:30 pm on WEd. Sept. 5th, in the Cafeteria.

Also, on the menu this week, is a peek a the top echelon, Who has THE STrings aNd Where Do they ATTACH ? CAL Mtg. is the Special this week, imposing a sTANdard, of DEBT resolution, that eXTends into the Future, the INTEREST goes on, at a rate we cannot afford to pay.

SEE what is new at the TOP, as CApitAL improvement, would Be approved.

CAl mtg.  and the OFFICE OF STATEWIDE heaLTHCARE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT.  AND how do they know ASPEN STreet ARchitects? And why are they hanging on to KVHD?

Inquiring minds will know, this an d more...

GOLdman Should Put "Sach" over head...

Cal Mtg. And the BOnd Indenture THAt Could Not BE Shrugged off This Atlas, AS in 1989, Cal Mtg. With the Office of HEalthcare planning and development, Brought about a HUGE debt problem to the Kern Vaalley healthcare District.

The Hospital, in Mt. Mesa, CAlifornia, took on a project to expand the small Public healthcare District and Hospital and soon would lose in the race for expansion.

Half full and mostly empty, Administrators of the tiny district hospital were thrown a Bag or "Sach" of Cash to the tune of 22 million.

How did this HappeN?

Some paperwork from 1986, shows with the Help of GOldman Sachs, a business plan, an estimate of projected revenues, made the Valley healthcare district, a viable candidate for money.

Why the KVHD hospital?

No one knows. LOL AS KVhd worth a mere One million including Chairs, paint and pictures on the wall.

Only the SHADOW Knows...

In the shadow was GOLd man Sachs and they are Not too interested in being  Related to the failure of this project, but when we LOOK at current advertising we can See the SAch over the head of this costly endeavor which Continues to Plague the community as CAL MTG. mocks any Attempts at BAnkruptcy and GS, has it's advertising the social programs, the reasons For helping acquire monies. Quite the Fairy tale...

WEll, Gold man and SAchs, Please tAke a peek at the KVHD catastrophy which the loan became, the Driving force behind ill planned decisions, policy making. THE cause the Effect, and the INVISIBLE guiding hand which made it all possible.

MOre on Goldman SAchs the WEbsite.

PAMElA OTT WAlks with PROBATION.

The Walk is getting Wider as PAmela Ott has Been delivered on another Three year probation sentence in the Kern Valley Health care District Elder Abuse  bargain with the Top Prosecutor's office In the State of California, the Office Of A-turn-key General "Kamala Harris" as her leadership has Shown to Be "Justice light" in regard to this case.

Dr. HOshang Pormir Walked away with the same Penalty in JUly and Ott followed suit, as her matching "throw in the" Towels, sentence is Short of "Three STrikes" or simply Tough Love. Pormir and OTT, both oversaw the skilled Nursing facility, Yet, remaining defendant GWEN HUGHES, will Go to Trial this fall, in October, the MOst LIKELy to see any Jail time. 

I could not see the legal case file last week, as Kern County Superior Court felony department provided they were Left in court. Records in the Case are Expected to return to Public Scrutiny this week, But Ott, the former KVHD CEo, has Ridden out of DODGE city with minor Repercussions in the Case as the Three Year Probation is a bargain basement Sentence.

The CEO still must face Civil trials, but the Department of Justice, has wrapped up it's top Two Defendants in a Quicky of JUStice, tricky , as the maGician behind the curtain is Certainly the Kabala of Harris, THE AG, "Kamala" BUT no one is fooled by the strings that ties bind, as I think we all /do MIND.

We MInd that this Is NOT a Just Response.

NOt even close to Scales With a Balancing Act. Appears to the public another EYE shutter, as the players are not concerned and have not learned. LOL

These Are SCales profoundly WEIGHED down, to one side.

They Err and ERR and the Playing field is not Fair.

Only a Decade ago Three Years of Probation was saved for MINOR crimes, and the assertion here in the elder abuse case, is that this vulnerable demographic remains vulnerable.

A ball has been dropped in this game. It has lacked all good in it's Ill attempt to only assuage it's audience.

WHo has Control of this OFFICE, this AG, this DOJ, who cannot see that there has been an affront to all who are unwilling to turn tail and Run?

AGAIN, news is PAmela Ott, KVHD CEO, and Sierra KIngs CEO, Elder abuse Defendant, has received a THree year probation sentence in the KVHD elder abuse case, bargaining with prosecutors.

CAse is nOW in court of public opinion. LOL

OTt file UNAVAILABLE until Friday, AUg. 31

A quick run to the FELony Department of the kern County Superior Court Came up Clueless as To the Secrets of the Elder Abuse TRial and Plead out, As Pamela Ott, had her portion of CAse 126665 ACD, heard And Was Expected to Take a Plea Deal for Conspiracy as did her fellow Defendant, Dr. Hoshang Pormir, Took at a hearing last month.

Pormir, was Able to feel a step of no more Resistance, as he was SENTENCED to Three years probation For Pleading Guilty to one count of Conspiracy, rather than the list of EIGHT Elder Abuse CHARges, He origninally faced when he was arrested in 2009.

Ott, and Pormir, have the same Case number, but The Two office Workers, consulted behind a Filing Cabinet this past FRiday, agreeing that looking for the file would be lost time, as they expect it STAYed in Court For Ott's Continued Motion Due up Aug. 29th.

THE motion could NOT Be identified by the Felony office Worker, and she was not inclined to SEARch and find this FILE. It was Really a Lost source, as I could NOT get any notes other than the items listed on the court's Website. Nothing of explanation was on the site, and the Manual labor Required to find said file, was left unused.

So, our source of INFormatioN Required a Check and there was no Doubling the Trouble I would have caused, as I ASKEd if they would LOOK, but I Was Assured, there was NOTHING to look for, as the FILe for Dr. POrmir WAs also Not AVailable for copies, viewing, or Lie Detection.

As Pormir, had a conspiracy charge and it takes two to make a Conspiring mind, There has been suggested, by insiders, that Ott, would Plead to the same Charge and be Given Similar Sentencing, Probation, without Jail Time. Ott slipped in Without seeing at least a finger print on the wall, but the court ushered her in and Shushed her out, without JAil or jumpsuits or any sort of Serious Response.

Why is OTt so Lucky?

Why did I throw evidence at the those unwilling to see it as such? DOJ, Department of Justice, Attorney, Steven Muni, rejected and selected the Evidence which really does not do it justice. LOL

DOJ and FORmer AG, Jerry Brown, SEemed unwilling to have a CAse loaded with White collar Criminals.

As of Now, We have Director Of Nursing, Gwen Hughes, waiting her turn in court, but she may face a Severe penalty where Doc and CEO, Supposedly conspiring together to Cover their Drug use on the Skilled nursing facility residents, but Hughes has to face the firing Squad who will take anyone But the top dogs to the pound for euthanasia.

Next week Ott will likely plead out to a conspiracy Charge or some other MOTION of unknown actions will be instituted to delay a Trial Date starting the clock. This motion was NOT meant to be Known or the court would have put that IN it's RECORD the public can access. It will be something of a Question, but in the long run, Ott has skated on thin ice past most of the others involved in the ELDER abuse case.

KVHD Board members never SAW a moment of INcriminatIOn Except from me. I offer that they are a Group that had to have some FRIENDS, Documents, or Demented Principles, to escape such OBvious Conditions of Deceptive and retributive practices.

I will NOT accept the excuses of anyone as I SUPPORTED my contentions with Video, Audio, Documentation, Witnesses, and this sad affair Showed less than honest investigative practices as only certain Rocks were turned over for Examination.

Selective JUSTICE?

And that is Why it is JUST US now?

If it's transparent, then YOU can see thru it. Justice would have a quality such as that. But no, justice, was not a FACTOR, maybe a fact, but it never saw the Light of day in court in this case.

But it Still does not change the TRUTH of what happened.

You can send Pormir and Ott to the dungeons, but what is missing, is the Value of Hearing the Facts. We can't seem to determine, whether Ott or Pormir are victims or players. Ott had a Crime Angel on her Shoulder as her Deeds were somehow a dismissive hand gesture away. Not taken seriously, called rumor or simply ignored.

I was told that my interference was not appreciated. Okay?

Why would someone only beholding to truth, be so polarizing to the situation?

It's never a burden to carry truth, but it takes FAith to stay in for the long haul. The weakness is to forget it is the ONLY way. Other ways have been fabricated, or corrupted, but This is an immutable fact and it's acceptance can lead to healing, forgiveness or other more favorable outcomes.

Some day, I'll have the DOJ at my door claiming I Told too much truth, and it was now a Crime to continue to ask for Transparency. My Crime will be to only embrace truth and not be willing to have less. Lawyers will call it an antagonistic position, one of harassment, and thereby belittling those unable to have truth. Liars will now have medicines and doctors, therapy, a minority status, and truth will be out in the cold.

(AS the dish is best served. )

LOL

Let's try this again. Ott returns to court next wEd. Aug. 29th, and she will be sentenced or Plead to charges of conspiracy injurious to the public.

Pormir, was out in July, probation his sentence.

Hughes remains the final player, who has to face a potential trial, but with the first two taking deals, it would not be unlikely she would do the same if it were offered. But Hughes, I"m afraid, was a puppet and the masters have left on their probation.

Her limited employment time shows Hughes to be only a response to elder abuse conditions shown in an earlier survey of the department. She had less than six months at KVHD.

The Department of Health SErvices, were pointing fingers at the SNF for patient dehydration, short staffing, and PHYSICAL restraints. Hughes came on and the patients were now on drugs as a form of restraint. And one against her will, several nurses administering something to quiet her down.

Get it?

Complaints at KVHD from nursing home residents?

They are not welcome or accepted from outside the hallowed halls, I feel nothing but sad as this must have been a paranoia inducing experience to be shut down with a needle, five nurses, and a doctor's okaying of the prescription. As this woman was wrangled and deemed in need of some restraint....

I am sure they did not see it for themselves, though.

New! Vids on YOUTUBE...(not improved..lol)

As the Gadfly turns...

How To Create A Ghost town...coming soon...

 With the hospital there are major problems with debt and service, but the real culprits with the Army Corps of Engineers, have the whole Kern River Valley hostage...

If you own real estate, a business, or just enjoy the area for recreation and relaxation, that DREAM has come to an end, as a sudden need by government to REPAIR the Lake Isabella Dam, has been enacted and 40 million dollars spent, to PRE-plan a reinforcement of this dam.

Politicians, such Congressman Kevin McCarthy, know that the current lifestyle in Lake Isabella is being threatened as the state and feds have declared the dam unsafe. Some thoughts are the EARTHEN dam was built to withstand seismic activity, with some seepage, being normal. BUt the Army of Corp. of Engineers moves forward with invasive plans to remake the dam and rebuild it to the tune of half a billion dollars.

This project is OFFICIALLY OPPOSED by me and I will make my case. I will make my arguments, that this is a MONEY GRAB, LAND GRAB, and NOT a safety hazard. It's a hazard to all homeowners, as with winds come the WHITE DUST storms off the barren lake, one side an algae producing body of stagnant water, and the to the south, a storm of particulate matter, being swept into clouds in the late afternoons.

ASK A LOCAL...

If you ask most local residents, they will cynically respond to questions about the dam project and how it came out of the blue, and how costly this project IS and will become. (40 million are costs to date of discussion, no construction)

Also, ask if they care about the community and they are sadly predicting the downfall, the running out of the local population, interruption of businesses, under the false idea that there is a SAFETY ISSUE to address.

Maybe ask a beaver, as they are creators of earthen dams that often channel and redirect waters, but they would likely give you a more honest take on this hot potato which can only cause more suffering for the financially unfit valley which has seen real estate prices crash around them, as news of this SCAM dam project spreads. 

I'm opposing this project, and will be moving forward with a warfare of my own. Dam them all! LOL

Will get some word on the White Cloud wind Storms of particulate matter created in the once a MINING area, articificially created lakebed, which has become airborne and ingest able for those in the area.

Is it SAFE to breath the air?

THE algae situation has become evident, as the green water, the overgrowth, stagnates, and creates a environment KNOWN to KILL DOGS and BIRDS and FISH.

Will these same people, politicians, make sure there is SAFE air to BREATH for the leftover residents?

I'm asking Senator Jean Fuller, a reticent voice in the valley, if she believes there is a way to INCLUDE residents in the process and keep them SAFE from health and financial HARM.

Kevin McCarthy and the Army Corps team are also on the list for comments. BUT if they are NOT willing to get down to real business, we will ignore them, and move toward a SECOND OPINION OR TWO.

And how will this project effect the future of KVHD? Will the impact blow them out of the water? 

MORE TO FOLLOW....

Representing the Truth and Compassion, Underserved community....

Well, It's that time again, it's time to talk truth and no more "polite talk."

I'm sure there are those unwilling to abide the TRUTh, and they are certainly enjoying a Renaissance of deception, but there is no other cause I prefer, no other reason to do any of this, as this is my banner.

With that said, we enter the NEW AGE of KVHD and politically prompted policy makers and law enforcement "reinforcement" as there was a slide to the side of "JUST US" and no justice, as Defendants in the KVHD elder abuse case, have walked away with little more than slaps on the wrist.

Okay, now it's my turn. 

Today, August 22, 2012, Pamela Ott, former KVHD CEO, has her hearing in the Kern County Superior Court today, awaiting a plea deal. Ott is expected to get the same treatment as former co-worker, Dr. Hoshang Pormir, was let loose of elder abuse charges and plead "out" to conspiracy charges, leaving him with a 3 year probation sentence.

Ott, who was treated as a martyr by KVHD board members, after her resignation in 2007, even to the degree that she was taken onto the local radio station, and given a defense venue by Bob Jamison, disc jokey, and board member, to defend her actions.

Jamison who has repeatedly used his radio vocation to mix with his hospital side job as board member, and none of it has been uncontroversial.

Ott's status will be updated as I find out what exactly has happened, to fail all of us. Ott has credentials that should actually be a "cautionary tale" to those in human resources, the justice department or anywhere else there would be an expected degree transparency.

Ott has gotten a few helping hands as she has managed to be chased around, from the Kern River Valley to Sierra Kings in Reedley, as she is suspected of many violations against these districts. However, the likelyhood that these will ever be reckoned by those in the "HEALTHCARE WELFARE" industry which feeds architects, lawyers, bond salesmen, immoral activity of the ugliest kind, is remote.

BUT, I won't stop. And we will revisit some of Ott's top ten crimes, as that's all I have to time for. LOL

Fresno county DA office, refused to take a report or to discuss implications stemming from the Sierra Kings District hospital bankruptcy where some amount of merit was given to reports there was THEFT of FUNDs from the local GOB and even loss of EMPLOYEE pension funds. Ott worked with Barbara Jennings, who were both "let loose" by the Sierra Kings Board of directors, shortly before the financial crisis hit rock bottom.

My interference apparently was not well received, as I have created an awful atmosphere of INsisting upon this idle, uncomfortable idea of Truth. Nasty stuff I guess.

The WEINER IS...

Elder abuse, is reprehensible, but using elder abuse to get elected GOVERnor, Mr. Brown, is DISGUStING. And that is exactly what Governor Jerry Brown did to this community. In 2010 he used the Kern River Valley, the Attorney General's office and reputation, to Launch himself to the Capitol and begin his AUsterity wars, I'll call them.

In this process, he used much media attraction and attention, weighing in about the KVHD elder abuse case, calling it the "worst he had seen."

Also, using HOLLYwood or Weird to project his "lawfulness" to the crowd of voters back in 2009 and 2010, as he said repeatedly, he was NOT running, and that all the fanfare was about his justice seeking missiles, which have missed our hospital and valley, and are on their way back to the governor's mansion as I write...lol

Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, got Personal Visits from the AG, and well, we got a lot of hot air, as we are simply a town of backward simpletons without a grain of sense, and a notorious need to trust the wrong people and giving credit where it was NOT due.

So, on the list of TO DO is my new austerity measure: NO MORE POLITE Chit CHat, just hard hitting words and truth. Indeed,

"Kabala" Harris where is the magic? 

Another political figure who has been subtracted from our equation has been the new and current Attorney General, Kamala Harris, who rode into her role on the Coat tails of Jerry Brown.

Harris used rhetoric such as "you don't have to lose your principles to serve in government" as a platform to take the helm from Brown as the former prosecutor, was voted in to the office alongside her "mentor" Jerry in 2010.

She has been MUTE, unseen, a force of NOTHING, a existential AG, who was JUST there and not justice as we have sought remedies to the problems that occurred at KVHD and Sierra Kings.

Why should she move into any position after her foray as a political figure HIDING from a fight which would keep her a viable volleyball in the political FUTURE where she would likely be used as a candidate, Manchurian, LOL, for the DEMOCRATIC party? And the less she says, the less she has to explain come election time. And as a black woman, prosecutor, a light skinned African American, HOLY CASH COW, she meets all the "demo" requirements to exceed and surpass demographics which even cross party  lines.

She's meant to be the virgin as she creates a RESUME of political office.

Not fooling us all though.

Timmy's toy box...

The CEO of KVHD, TIm Mcglew, is expected to recieved another raise in two weeks, as the administrator has been held accountable as the number one paid CEO at the smallest hospital in Kern County.

How a hospital so financially distressed, calling it's community to BAIL THEM out of bad decisions which have left them in debt, understaffed, and under suspicion of at the least being EVASIVE, would be justifying the expense of paying more than 200K in good money for a Suit and tie type of administrator is questionable.

Some response will be requested as this has happened again, another year, another raise, and another round of ring around the payroll.

GO SEE CAL, GO SEE CAL...

My goal is to make our DEBTOR, Cal Mtg. in the office of Statewide Healthcare Planning and Development, OSHPD, a HOUSEHOLD name in the healthcare financial industry, as the debt suffered by the hospital was created by these lenders back in 1988. It was a small hospital, in need of expansion, worth less than one million, but receiving a Bond endenture of 22 million.

NO Collateral, no problem CAl Mtg. said in 1988, as they dropped off a bag of money, spent on construction which lend itself to only completely HALF the glass, and not half full either.

THE skilled nursing facility was to be created as 140 bed project, coming in with 70 beds, at the end, and no accounting of WHERE did the money go?

Board members, Cal Mtg. operatives, have denied and been evasive, as to the disposition of all those monies, and they have had the hubris to believe that we as a community, will pay this off and indebt ourselves into 30 years of increased property taxes. (Yeah, right)

So far, this community has held strong to not being taxed, but that tune of VOLUNTARY taxation without representation has been challenged to the north, as Governor Jerry Brown has added money to our property taxes for fire fighting, but he avoids calling it a tax, or allowing any VOTE by the public in opposition.

This involuntary taxation is going to be a problem, as the Governor, has created an environment of usurping civil and public rights. 

So when the hospital decides it can no longer remain in business taking small handouts instead of the big money, we may see something of a THREAT to tax.

Cal Mtg. has held the position that KVHD can NOT bankrupt on this bond debt, and recently made a new LOAN to keep them up on their payments of the original sin, and putting this off on another generation which will inherit the on going debt.

Why can't KVHD bankrupt? Why can't we have a lower priced CEO? Why do we need  a CFO? And why are the financial records so difficult and so confusing that board members regularly request CFO CheT Beedle explain the "facts" to them.

Ask the board,  how KVHD is doing financially, and you may just have A Kern Valley Sun article about them being in the "black." But how would a public healthcare district explain that they are in the black EXCEPT for the debt part. Again, low regard for the community, so low that they are willing to take advantage of the trusting nature, offering indefensible explanations, and does not appreciate when local figures find problems with their financial crunching.

One woman who found a 75K error on the books was taunted, derided, hung up by phone, and disrespected in every manner.

Bored or Board?

This year there are THREE count them, three board seats up for grabs, as Dr. Robert Gross, Victoria Alwin, and Bob Jamison are up for re-election. Jamison is the only candidate heading for pasture, but in his wake, new QAB radio owner, Charlie Busch, reaches out to voters to continue the intimacy between radio and healthcare by entering the race. Busch, being seen at his very first board meeting last month, will be the only candidate not well known to local voters.

Gross, who has many irons in the KVHD fire, and Alwin who has served as Timekeeper and board leader for a few years, are back at it, running again. Gross, owner of Sienna Wellness, a former DIRECTOR of Rural Health this past year, contracted as SNF Medical provider, seen in the acute care and ER, and now again, running for the board.

Barbara Casas, a board member of former repute, will join the race too, aside John Blythe and Tom Wright, both familiar names and often opposing opinions to the status quo.

There will be a page dedicated to the election on KVHD Under FIRe, as we look at the potential changes that a new board may bring. And I believe the candidates deserve a chance to say what they will without my interference and snarky comments, so that will as usual be provided.

But snarky comments are born out of frustration with polite, accommodating, behaviors easily mistaken as KINDNESS and fairplay, and I would NOT want that to be the case. lol

Finally, this is a mess. This is a discomfort, disservice, a nightmare for many people and a nasty reminder that money does grow in public healthcare districts, and it breeds contempt for those they should only be interested in SERVING.

I'm gearing up to GETTING 'er DONE, so let's get started.

New video on YOUTUBE, KVHD under FIRE, and a trip NORTH will be on the menu in the next few weeks.
