JANE ANN MORRISON: Judge just doesn't see failure to treat people with dignity, respect The District Judge Elizabeth Halverson saga is starting to creep beyond the borders of Nevada and into the California news media, while locally the docudrama is the first thing many of us read each day. When they make a TV special of it, I'd like to suggest a name: Power and Paranoia. Halverson spent nine years as a fairly lowly law clerk. (I always assumed the 425-pound woman, according to her driver's license, stayed as long as she could for the county's health insurance coverage.) After she was fired, she ran for one judgeship, lost, but in 2006 won on her second try. Before long, stories started coming out of the Regional Justice Center about her contemptuous behavior toward her staff, particularly her bailiff, Johnny Jordan. Halverson, who had never had real power, was relishing it, throwing a pencil on the floor and ordering him to pick it up. Jordan was ordered to give her foot rubs and back massages. He has since filed a complaint against his former boss alleging discrimination based on sex and race. He is black and says she treated him like a "house boy." Her court clerk, Katherine Streuber, said the judge's behavior was "vile, angry, degrading to anyone within her path." Streuber also objected to being called "the evil one" and "the anti-Christ" by the judge. (We in the news business hear that every other day, but courthouse employees are unaccustomed.) Court officials realized they were going to be slapped with multiple lawsuits alleging hostile work environment if no action was taken. Three judges were asked to help Halverson, Family Court Judge Art Ritchie and District Judges Stewart Bell and Sally Loehrer. A memo details an April 6 meeting between Halverson and the three judges: • She's told it's inappropriate to have staff rub her feet or her back. Her answer: She'd told the bailiff to stop that, that he'd become too familiar with her. • She's told she should not require staff to show up at 6:45 a.m. to wait for her arrival at 8 or 8:30 a.m. Her answer: She'd told the bailiff not to come early, but he wouldn't listen. • She's told she should not have staff make her lunch. Answer: The bailiff wants to make her lunch. • She's told there are 20-25 orders missing. Answer: She's shocked. • She's told it's unethical to make statements showing bias against attorneys, particularly those who didn't give to her campaign. Answer: Yes, she said it, but since nobody gave her money for her campaign, she's not discriminating against anyone. • She's told the demeaning way she talks to her husband, Ed, referring to him as a "b*tch" (and worse), is offensive to staff. Answer: She doesn't know why that would upset the staff, but the solution is to have him not come to her chambers. • Told she should treat people with dignity and respect, Halverson said she didn't know specifically what she was doing wrong. After she answered every allegation made against her, Judge Bell told her, "If you can't see it, you can't fix it. Get some psychological help." On April 12, the three judges tried to meet with Halverson again at 4:30 p.m. She was in a civil nonjury trial. The three judges waited until 6 p.m. before leaving. Later, the judges said they confirmed her trial was over, but she waited in the courtroom until she confirmed they had departed. The judges said Halverson will "falsely" claim she was in trial. Essentially, the judges called her a liar. Buoyed by power, convinced everyone is against her, Elizabeth Halverson, 49, has achieved what seems to be her heart's desire: She is the center of attention. She's page one news, and she leads the nightly television news. The voters now know Elizabeth Halverson, but she has 18 months left on the bench before they can vote her out of office. That's too long a wait. The Judicial Discipline Commission, which has the power to remove her from office, cannot confirm if a complaint has been filed. However, I'm told investigators are now working a complaint against her. Meanwhile, everyone who voted for her can enjoy the circus under the big tent we call the Regional Justice Center.

yeah, def the odyssey battery for the beast.!!!

I change my fuel filters every other oil change (about 10,000 miles) due to diesel being a dirty fuel, clogging up your filter, robbing power, and possibly worse, plugging your injectors. anyway, I wanted to warn all you d-max owners, when changing your fuel filter, and bleeding the line of air....BE EFFEN CAREFUL WITH THAT P.O.S. PLASTIC BLEEDER NUT. my truck is a 2003, with 60,000 miles on it, so roughly 4-5 yrs old. with the engine heat, contact with diesel, plus the hot and cold conditions experienced here in Bakersfield (similiar to vegas), plastic under the hood, especially pieces that when they malfunction, stop your truck, don't hold up very well (GM what WERE you thinkin? ) anyway, I am bleeding the plastic 13 mm fuel filter nut, and it begins to turn really easy . the head snapped off, leaving the screw body IN the threads. well, that took me about 10 minutes to fish that out stealership bent me over for nearly 15 bucks for what amounts to be a piece of plastic not worth more than .15 cents here is a link to a company who manufactures an aftermarket stainless steel bleeder nut for our trucks.....and the best thing is....they are only 8 bucks ..... hmmmmmm an upgrade? and it costs less? ............................ yeah, I pulled the trigger on this no brainer... effen plastic bleeder nut....dee dee dee

yeah i would too from drinking ovaltine @ GIN but hey, you get your vitamins too...along with the invisi-rail decoder ring

bakersfield

what? YOUR WATER BROKE???? OMG

i am not worried about what you are in control of. it is what you are not in control of (other riders, equipment failure, etc) that would scare me

WARNING---EXTREME SCENARIO personally, i would borrow a friend's hot looking quad, have it out the night before, up and down the street a couple times, so the dumbazzes see that you have a new quad. the next day, I would take off from work, park the car a few blocks over, and sit in my garage with my .40 glock, with a couple of plant screwdrivers, just for good measure. your problem solved, and society's future problems too! btw, has anyone contacted the parents? also, surveilence is a good thing. I have property line to property line vid surveilence, and it has helped not only me out a couple times, but also my neighbors on my street.

you guys are going to back route, right? the news today said to expect at least double the amount of time to travel on the 15 1 hour is now 2+ hours we cancelled our trip to vegas this weekend because I don't feel like sittin on the 15 for 16 fuggin hours and yes, my azz would hurt from that

i know this is like a lady answering a question about an engine swap in a 68 camaro SS, but............... what are you? nuckin futz??? I know my son's pediatrician, as well as our friends kids pediatrician, told both my wife and our friends to not ride a quad, ride in a sxs, or a rail, in the dunes while pregnant

yeah, and it allows him dune faster too like 2x faster.....or was it 4x faster pimpshack haulin azzzzz

it could also be a fuel filter problem, i would think...have you changed that lately? i would just take it to the stealership, have them diagnose it, and get it fixed and ready for your trip....how much does a good piece of mind cost?

"don't you just hate it when youre sittin on the toilet, and you just got through wipin' yo azz, and a turd knocks on your a----hoe? what does that piece of sh*t want?? effen hIlArIoUs

thanks for checking, but no. we will be in Vegas this weekend, thanks anyway...i really do appreciate it

a moderate amount of alcohol in the diet will do that for ya, pimpshack

on the trip to my destination, i put 10 oz of baby oil down the crapper.....to make the sides slick. I still use the blue stuff, btw then, when dumping, I fill the black tank up AFTER the initial dump AT LEAST 2 more times, to get the klingons only one time did I not rinse after dumping, and my toyhauler smelled worse than the freekin pit toilets @ dumont pete thinks his sheeeit don't stink

i was gonna say, with the way it SOUNDS...you shouldn't go....but it looks waaaay better than it did. you seem to be getting around on it ok have fun this weekend
