Hi,

Welcome to The Bakersfield Voice Web site!

My name is Olivia and I am Vice President of Content at The Bakersfield Californian. The Bakersfield Voice is a part of a company that is a subsidiary to our local hometown paper.

Thank you for taking the time out to submit a photo, blog or story. Keep up the great work!

The Bakersfield Voice follows a citizen journalism concept in that our weekly publication depends on you for stories and photos. It's about you sharing your world, your perspective, with the community.

It's been great seeing the amount of talented writers and photographers gracing our web site and pages.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please email us at mercadoeditors@bakersfield.com

We'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for all that you do.

Olivia

hi Olivia, hw r U; hey, this is dimitri 'dodie', username/starlight681941. This is to tell U, my tongue dropped as well as my jaw to have had found your 'editor's note' about saluting the nurses in the BakersfieldLife Magazine! I was reading this magazine at 8 a.m. on May 6 at a gastroenterologist's office at San Dimas Street; while waiting for my wife's clinical procedure. Your notes are quite swell; having had given kudos to the nurses on how they helped you in your life about your labor pains! I'm very proud to also know you are the "vice/president-Content" on the magazine! starlight681941 / 05/08/09

Hi Olivia-

I owe you a huge apology in just now getting back to you.  I think my excuse is going to be that we had my Mom wind up in the E.R. about the time you sent this & even though I hate to admit it, I think I wasn't quite on top of things.  Totally whiffed this one.   

So, yes I am still the Kern County Liaison for the Devil Pups program.  I will take you up on the invite to do a write-up.  We're getting some great responses so far this year & I haven't even promoted it yet.  Even have faculty at Garces High & other high schools calling to get kids in because some of their students went through the program last summer and they are pleased with the results.    

It will good for your boys when they get to 14.  Wish I'd have gone through it as a teen... I would have been a better Marine for it.   Take care & tell your husband ooo-rah for me.   

Thanks, Dick
