After the CCO quit smoking, she lit up the P&P
There have been a lot of rumor and innuendo thrown about recently, and I'm not talking about my standard "highly theoretical suppositions" such as the one about the less than open, board meeting with two board members.
I retracted the opinion that a highly suspicious meeting was held without the knowledge and or invitation to the other board members making it an actual meeting, special, urgent, or otherwise.
However, it's true the Brown Act, which lists the laws by which a public board must conduct itself, is rarely, if ever, supported by the Grand Jury, or county prosecutors.
Tricky stuff when two board members start talking about a general obligation bond which may be voted upon at sometime in the near future.
But we have put that behind us, and hope that the rest of the communications remain out in the open for the public to digest as they are just learning thru my survey phone calls what KVHD is: your hospital in a public district where board members are voted in.
And what a GOB is: a general obligation bond spread out over thirty years where homeowners would pay off this debt with property taxes limited to such amounts like $100 for every 100K of assessed value.
Levy a tax: because the hospital is public, in a public district, built with public monies, partially funded by community property tax dollars, the hospital could raise money it needs* by raising this tax for a few short years rather than 30 or maybe 60 or even 90...
sound crazy? What if they need another bond. If we are comparing ourselves to other hospitals and districts like Tehachapi, then you see that one bond may not be enough. And they will come crying back to us because they have not taken care of the money they have.
But they start by taking the first GOB, and then if they can successfully build something or create services that fit this community and are not the type which will create lawsuits, then they may have saved the day.
If for some reason, anything, and I mean anything happens and that money the community is paying up is misspent or not built or not as it was described in the brochure: this place will go down. So, I would think they would want this process to be precise and open, backed by leaders like Assemblywoman, Jean Fuller, and overseen and scrutinized by county supervisor, Jon Mcquiston, who represents our district.
When will we see either of these two or Kevin McCarthy, still scrapping away about federal healthcare reform, but not here where we are the people who vote for him.
This whole process should have started last year as I kept crowing there were serious financial problems and we needed to get on it. Nobody did anything. And the CFO lied on tape on camera that everything was fine, we were putting away all our money we owe, nothing unusual.
Then "BOOM" we're in trouble, help us, we need volume, we sold our mammography, we can't afford to run the district properly. This is practically criminal.
Flashback to Measure M 2006
Same time, same channel it seems, we are late for the party and have no real data and don't have an architect or a serious financial advisor (and I'm not talking about the financial manager Chet Beedle whose recent success was in obtaining a credit card to pay for the pharmacy stock to the tune of 90K. Go Chet.)
We did the exact same thing in 2006 and lost the election. And we had an architectural plan which wouldn't work, would cost more than the 12.5 million the community was to pay, and while we were being lead by Pam Ott to do this GOB, the nursing center and our residents there were allegedly being quieted as they didn't need any problems while they tried to get their general obligation bond.
Coincidence or not?
Now we are doing it again. Still with Chet Beedle, though he will not be in charge of the monies if indeed it is a bond we want and not to simply raise taxes for a few years. But Chet will be in charge of some of that money and that should be looked into very closely by this board of directors.
And if there is a fair and just system, which there isn't, maybe we will get a couple new board members who aren't afraid to give the boot to a financial guy who would actually agree to a "time and material" contract which gave a company more than two million.
How do I know? Because I have the receipts. And I still can't tell what we paid for. And we didn't get what we wanted which was a clean bill of health for the nursing center.
After millions were spent on the nursing center, and criminal charges were filed, and civil suits are waiting in the wings, we go to the community and say: Hey, what else are you going to do? You have to have a hospital. Pay up or dry up the whole valley.
Next up: A few clarifications
I was told in detail by the former CCO, Cynthia Burciaga, that CEO, Tim McGlew told her about private information regarding my healthcare at the Rural Health Clinic. I challenged the situation with the CEO, and was told that he didn't do this.
Okay.
Then I was told that the maintenance man that appeared suddenly at the September board meeting and began hassling us about our camera. He told our cameraman he couldn't film.
I told him we would film, and we did. I made a remark on this blog about how strange it was that suddenly this person was giving me problems. I was told that he was there for some reason from the past, and to help with the microphones. Funny enough that very night the microphones were off, and I said to this guy why don't you go fix the microphones and quit worrying about what I'm doing.
It's on the blog that I said this and then seven months later I hear that it was purposeful that he was brought to that meeting, from the former CCO.
Okay.
What am I supposed to do. Nothing.
In all of these cases there is no agency that really fulfills it's obligation to not just write laws but to actually provide oversite and penalty. Nothing like that happens, it's a lie. This situation at the KVHD is an example of how the government pretends to work.
Jerry Brown, the California Attorney General, who wants to trade in his Prius for a Hummer, is currently the example of justice in this state. Question is what kind of justice is he hawking?
With the wave of his hand he could clean up our hospital, the situation between our hospital and Cal Mtg., demand the county begin an oversight committee to go along with the hospital which may or may not be here in a year or so.
Justice costs money
We all know that justice costs money. We have to gather the attorneys who get paid to stare at the walls, it's all about money. Big money.
Is the Kern River Valley worth as much as Goonies gone wild on pills? Or my favorite the urgent press conference regarding the tragic overdose of that example of saline implants and botox showers, Anna Nicole Smith, who was not a victim, but simply someone who chose to use drugs, lots of them.
The attorney general has a budget and if they don't see some benefit in your case, they aren't going to spend the money. Anna Nicole was famous and Jerry Brown is ready to call a moving company to the Governor's mansion, so she won out.
When will we win out?
I've not even begun to tell you what has happened to others at our hospital, ER, and Rural Health Clinic. I've been collecting stories for years and now we will finally get down to business: protecting the public, stopping the prejudice and getting them to walk the walk.
I know there are good people in this hospital and they would do a wonderful job if only they could. But with money misspent, lies to cover the dire situation which actually exists, board members (well, some are trying, just not quite strong enough to wield an axe and that is what is needed) willing to look away and be non-confrontational, nothing will change except the rapidity of the down hill slide.
Get past the finger pointing
With all sorts of stories cropping up, a rather thoughtless remark made at the last board meeting which ended up in the local "noose" paper.
Whoever is telling the truth or hiding the partial truth I don't care about it's too small to pick up with boxing gloves on. I do care about the employees at the pharmacy, the way money is monitored and spent, and the possibility of a 30 year obligation on this community; those are my concerns.
And as you found out, my concerns are for the health and safety of the patients including myself.
This is a business where cutting back or constantly using the CT scan or the inability to act as if we are "neighbors and friends" not judge harshly anyone who may be a junkie. If they are a junkie, hide your prescription pad, and shut up, it's their life. If they have children though, definitely report that situation.
The room for improvement is the largest room in the world-anonymous
Coming up: the April 6 board meeting. Pictures and quotes.
Persistance and Tenacity, requires a new chapter, a new beginning....

Mr. Jamsion's tower of power, just don't try to work there
Gosh, Mr. Jamison, you said you believed in my information and my articles, but at the end of the ruse, we just didn't get along anymore. It was war. I tried to talk to the radio station about what was going on. I called the FCC. We begin with the end of the radio jobs and move down to the emails from Mr. Jamison, regarding the possibility of my employment with the station.

Thank you for your interest in the Talk Show. You are welcome to call in while the Talk Show program is in progress Friday from 9 to10am. The telephone number is 760 376-4343. This weeks program will focus on Kern Valley Hospital's ability to upgrade to California's SB-1953 earthquake standard. The radio station currently has the information it needs. Thank You.
The Talk Show As the Valley waits with baited breath, or yawns bored to tears, waiting to see what dastardly deed the Sun will uncover next within the Kern Valley Healthcare District, this weeks Talk Show may shed some light on whatever is happening. While the freelance reporter, which the Sun is suddenly distancing themselves from, continues to dig through years and years of Healthcare District public records, perhaps searching for the elusive "smoking gun", the stories keep being pumped out by the Sun, devoid of objectivity and, in my opinion, misleading. I guess the days of journalistic integrity and readers assuming "it must be true, I read it in the newspaper" are long gone. So. where do we turn to for the truth? Disgruntled employees?, Politically motivated board members?, Someone who posts messages on a community internet forum urging hospital employees to abandon their patients, go out on "stress leave" and illegally file false workman's comp claims? How about the only person with nothing left to loose, no reason left to worry about political correctness or what the foul mouthed freelance reporter writes about her? Outgoing Kern Valley Healthcare District CEO, Pamela Ott, will be on the Talk Show this Friday morning at 9am for the full hour.

(This is where it started when Ott stepped down May 3, 2007 and Jamison was nothing but livid. He took his vitriol to the talk show, and on his blog, attached to the station. As Mr. Jamison told me he “is the radio station” because nobody else knows how to do the engineering. So, he claims his royal seat atop his bully pulpit where he has put out more propaganda than Fidel Castro. )

Hi Laura,
I’ve been thinking about your suggestion that I do something, I think the term you used was, bold. I’m not certain if you are talking about the talk show or something else? Your suggestion about the talk show is interesting, and my only real concern is what effect it would have on future programs. Would it become an occasional feature? Would you want to become an on air team, and if so would you be willing to work for what little they pay?
A lot of what if’s! I guess we need to talk more about it.
Goodnight.
Bob.
Hi Laura,
Yesterday I saw an ad on TV for what appeared to be a porn website, and it reminded me, I haven't heard from Laura lately. So how was your Christmas & New Year? I didn't get what I wanted, but thats okay, its kind of like sex... the longer you have to wait, the better it is... Is that right? Its been so Iong I forget.
So how are things going with the new newspaper? I can hardly wait to read something of substance. Let me know whats going on?
Bob.
Good grief Charlie Brown.... What have I started?
From: Bob Jamison >To: Laura Hart >Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 14:51:09 -0700 (PDT)Hi Laura,
Haven't heard anything else. At this point I do not intend to persue the matter further, as I think I got my point across to the subject agency on air.
As far as what we talked about after the show, I will tell you that like many people in the entertainment industry, I have a vivid imagination. In addition to listening to your words while we were on air, I was also keenly aware of the direction you seemed to want to go, but would not. We both have strong personalities and I can invision any number of situations that could result from two such people doing anything together. The result could be dynamic, exciting... the adjectives are nearly endless. It could also easily spin out of control.
Toward the latter, I must learn to stop imagining what people are waring when I am talking to them via phone from their home. I'm guessing that my vision of you setting in a chair in you pajamas drinking a glass of soy juice was more than likely inaccurate.
That's one of the things I love about radio, there is always enough room left for the imagination. TV, on the other hand, leaves no room for that.
Excuse me, I think I just inhaled my tie. Talk to you later.
Bob.

Subject: RE: have you heard anything...
Well, finally a slight bit of humor out of this woman. I was seriously begining to wonder if I could become involved in an on air relationship with someone, without humor. For me, that would be like finding a fantastic deal on cat food, only to later discover that you don't own a cat. It would be down right dysfunctional.
So... OK, show me that you can lighten up enough so that doing a talk show together would be fun, never a choir. Yes it should be informational, but it should also be equally light hearted and above all entertaining. It's even OK if once in a while it makes listeners cry, as long as their always left with a feeling of hope.
It's after 10pm and I'm going to call it a night. Have a good night.
Bob.
Oh Laura,
Be still my beating heart, the girl suddenly came to life, and the excitement began to build to a feaver pitch... Wait a minute, a "kimono"? Guess I need to loose weight.
Actually, I would not stretch my tanless hairy legs on top of a desk, table or anything else as I have more respect for furnature than that. The prmotional mug is from a program that we air on 1140 AM on Saturday mornings called the "Family Tech Show", and I suspect that if I let you have your way with me, my mocha relationship whould be replaced by who knows what.
While I'm at the ACHD conference in San Diego next week, I will try to find something medical to bring back for you. Most of the givaways are the usual pens, logoed scratch pads or similar junk, but occationally they come up with a few winners. The hypodermic yellow highlighters are always a big hit. I will find something.
Bob
Hi Laura,
Glad your feeling better. Does this mean we're on for lunch Tuesday? You never did confirm.
I would like to hear what you do to relax and get your mind off work. You know, things like swiming, listening to music, throughing water baloons at public officials, rubbing jello in someones hair. Life is too short to spend it all on serious stuff, don't you think?
While driving home, I was listening to an LA radio station that called itself "Progressive Talk Radio". I had to laugh when the program hostess said "conservatives don't know how to have fun". Sure they do I thought, they just dont do or say things that will make them appear to be irresponsible.
Oh well, got to go make beds and clean rooms. Gee the very thought of it turns me on. Talk to you latter.
Bob.
Hi Laura,
When I was a child, or was that inner child? Anyway, I sang and played guitar on TV talent programs. I won a few here and there, nothing big but I enjoyed doing them. Once I even won a pogo stick. Your probably to young to know what that was.
I have not sung or played in many years. I wonder if the old pipes have anything left?
Yes after many years, I'm a decaf man. If I drank the high grade stuff my brain would never go to sleep.
OK, I admit it, I am a little intreagued, but now your making it sound like something completely different than what I first thought it may be. One of the things I'm bringing you from San Diego uses a battery, but its not something I figured you would go around talking about after using it. Now I'm really confused, or was that a deliberately intreguing play on words? I'm thinking training wheels removed and seat belt required.
I take it back... there is still a lot of mystery left in this young lady, or maybe I'm reading too much between the lines. Hmmmm, I feel a hightened awareness stiring deep inside me thats begining to scream *** CHOCOLATE ***. Hey, even I need something once in a while that I know I shouldn't have?
Yes I am analytical, so naturally I'm thinking, no more little games really means now the big games begin. So now I'm thinking.... Oh I hope it isn't painful and she doesn't leave a mark.
Something is telling me I should sign-off for now before I say something incriminating.
P.S. Nice shoes! By for now.
Bob.
Hi Laura,
I should have known, but noooo, I feel for it hook, line and sinker. Hey, I'm so mean to you? You dangle a participle in front of a man, bat your eye lashes, answer all of his questions with "Maybe", then giggle when he discovers he has been had.
So... who is this friend of yours who would come on the talk show, suposedly to teach us how to sing, and what would listeners get out of it? There are already several singing groups in the valley. Would she be able to help some of them sing without sounding like a group of elk in heat? Would we have to learn new songs written by people that are still alive, and would the valley be able to handle it? Tell me more !
As long as we are crossing lines, and discovering new things about each other, I think it is time you knew one of my deepest dark secrets... Once I entered a radio station belching contest, and damn near won. No, I dont belch in public. You probably think it's gross ! It's a guy thing. If your interested I can teach you how. Later,
Bob.
Hang on there golden tonsils,
I would bet she would be delighted to get some free exposure for her service. Problem is, it would open the flood gates for every other business in the valley wanting their share of "free exposure" as well, and claiming unequal treatment if I don't accomodate them, No Thank You. Radio stations, like newspapers, live solely on advertising dollars.
I hear all the time how unfair some may think that is, especially from those who claim their not a business, but it's not unfair it's just reality. Sorry, but the free riders of the valley ruined it for everyone else a long time ago. Like it or not, it's what we now have to live with. Don't become disheartened, something else will work. Wait a minute ! There may still be a way. Dont call her yet. We can talk about it Friday.
I hope tomorrow is better than today. The day started with me tring to explain to the station manager that the generator for 1140 AM would have kept us on the air during the electrical outage, if he would have arainged to keep the propane tank filled. It went down hill from there. The man has no sence of humor whatsoever. Talk to you later.
Bob
(As you can see, this was some twisted job request. I don’t know if you think that this is something that is an okay way of behaving, but it is what happened. Now we head down the path of where hiding the skilled nursing facility meltdown and Pam Ott, become Mr. Jamison’s concerns. Ott was seen crying wrapping her arms around Jamison, days before her resignation. Jamison told her he would not let her lose her job. And the war began.)

I should have known, but noooo, I feel for it hook, line and sinker. Hey, I'm so mean to you? You dangle a participle in front of a man, bat your eye lashes, answer all of his questions with "Maybe", then giggle when he discovers he has been had.
So... who is this friend of yours who would come on the talk show, suposedly to teach us how to sing, and what would listeners get out of it? There are already several singing groups in the valley. Would she be able to help some of them sing without sounding like a group of elk in heat? Would we have to learn new songs written by people that are still alive, and would the valley be able to handle it? Tell me more !
As long as we are crossing lines, and discovering new things about each other, I think it is time you knew one of my deepest dark secrets... Once I entered a radio station belching contest, and damn near won. No, I dont belch in public. You probably think it's gross ! It's a guy thing. If your interested I can teach you how. Later,
Bob.
Hang on there golden tonsils,
I would bet she would be delighted to get some free exposure for her service. Problem is, it would open the flood gates for every other business in the valley wanting their share of "free exposure" as well, and claiming unequal treatment if I don't accomodate them, No Thank You. Radio stations, like newspapers, live solely on advertising dollars.
I hear all the time how unfair some may think that is, especially from those who claim their not a business, but it's not unfair it's just reality. Sorry, but the free riders of the valley ruined it for everyone else a long time ago. Like it or not, it's what we now have to live with. Don't become disheartened, something else will work. Wait a minute ! There may still be a way. Dont call her yet. We can talk about it Friday.
I hope tomorrow is better than today. The day started with me tring to explain to the station manager that the generator for 1140 AM would have kept us on the air during the electrical outage, if he would have arainged to keep the propane tank filled. It went down hill from there. The man has no sence of humor whatsoever. Talk to you later.
Bob
(As you can see, this was some twisted job request. I don’t know if you think that this is something that is an okay way of behaving, but it is what happened. Now we head down the path of where hiding the skilled nursing facility meltdown and Pam Ott, become Mr. Jamison’s concerns. Ott was seen crying wrapping her arms around Jamison, days before her resignation. Jamison told her he would not let her lose her job. And the war began.)
