BY LAURIE REESE Community contributor f you sing like Pavarotti in the shower or Lady Gaga in your car — or if singing in front of an audience is number 19 on your bucket list — there is something you should know. An audience is wait- ing for you and it doesn’t include any critics like Simon Cowell. This audience is com- prised of the elderly, the sick and the dying. “They are some of the most important people on earth,” says Optimal Hospice Volunteer guitarist and singer, Ron Wey- mouth. “They’re in an environment where they can start feeling very inconsequential, but they’re so the opposite. They’ve done everything I’ve done and then some.” They may also be the most appreciative audience possible. You don’t need the voice of Carrie Under- wood or David Cook to take part. The per- formers are everyday people who have joined with the Optimal Hospice Volunteer program to provide the gift of song for resi- dents in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. “It was scary at first,” says Wanda White- side, Optimal Hospice Volunteer and founder of their karaoke singers program. “My voice would quiver, my bottom lip would quiver — I would sweat.” But the nerves didn’t last long. Today, you’ll find Wanda singing and joking with the resi- dents as she serenades them. She enter- tains them because it makes her happy to make someone else’s day. Whiteside is a veteran of the Optimal Hospice Volunteer program who has done everything from patient family support and companionship visits to 11th Hour support so that Optimal patients do not have to die alone. Mentoring and scheduling for the Karaoke group is just the latest in Wanda’s amazing contributions to the Optimal Hos- pice Volunteer Program. “Sometimes I dedicate a song to one of them, like, Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” shares Wanda. “There would be standing ovations. Some people get up and start dancing — I hand them a microphone so they can sing along.” “We’re there to uplift people,” says Wey- mouth, who was once considered a termi- nally ill patient himself. In 2002, he was told he had approximately six months left to live. His story was even featured in a docu- mentary about people who had a short time to live. Now, after a long battle back to wellness, he shares his time and compas- sion enhancing the lives of others through his music. He plays the guitar and sings — I’m going to Kansas City — like the profes- sional musician he was in his mid-20s and 30s. The crowd loves him. “When I see their eyes light up,” he says, “I really makes my day … makes my life.” The Volunteer Department at Optimal Hospice Care is recruiting more members for the Optimal Hospice Volunteer Karaoke Singers Group so they are able offer these fun events to more facilities in the Kern County Area. No experience required. “We can use people who are fun-loving, not afraid to laugh at themselves, and have an open heart for the elderly or hospice patients,” says Whiteside. Even children are welcome. “The patients really respond to them.” If you are ready to serenade a thankful audience instead of just your shower or your car, make this call. Contact the Volun- teer department at Optimal Hospice Care at 716-4000 or email kbudnick@optimal- cares.com to ask how you can become a part of this wonderful group of merry mak- ers. Try your hand (or your voice) at karaoke or bring your favorite musical instrument to play along. “I really, really enjoy karaoke,” says Whiteside. “I love it. Absolutely love it.” You might love it, too! ell, if you like your National Bas- ketball Association and your National Hockey League playoff finals served up on a silver plat- ter then welcome to the 2011 version of both. Tense, exciting and full of drama, the commissioners, owners, televi- sion networks and fans of both leagues couldn’t have scripted the matchups any bet- ter. As you may know by now, if you follow this column — all three of you — it is formu- lated some seven days prior to being dis- persed to the faithful and consequently, the outcome of each championship shall have already been determined when the three of you digest this. Let’s just keep this little tidbit to ourselves, okay? Kind of our own little clubhouse secret. Hate to go all Webster’s on you but there is quite a dichotomous situation lending itself to both series. Anomalous as well. You see, the greatest storyline regarding the chase for both titles pertains to who does and does not want the participants to capture the ultimate glory. Let’s begin with the NBA. The Dallas Mavericks have a three-games-to-two lead over the Miami Heat with the game-six throwdown happening tonight in Miami. The explanation for the first two sentences in this paragraph comes via the fact that even though one may not care for the Mavericks you may dislike the Heat even more because of all the hoopla stirred up prior to the season by the Miami organization as they introduced their “big three” of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on a platform rivaling that of a Hollywood movie debut starring Bradley Pitt, Thomas Cruise and Georgeous Clooney. That affair turned off most of Ameri- ca and instantly branded the “Heatles” as vil- lains. The only ones diggin’ the vibe were the Miami fans. So it became the Miami Heat against the world — and Miami hasn’t disap- pointed! The monkey, er, dolphin is squarely on their back as they must win back-to-back at home in order to claim the hardware. It really is a very compelling story and it will be inter- esting to see if Dirk Now- itzki and his veteran-laden Mavs can close it out in South Beach. It shall also be interesting to see if LeBron shows up in the fourth quarter for the Heat as he has a prepon- derance for fading late like the Beatles on “Hey, Jude.” Now to the NHL. Not to be outdone for lack of love by their country, the Van- couver Canucks find themselves on their own island (literally!) of trust because as absurd as it may appear, most of Canada is actually rooting for the Boston Bruins to deny the Canucks from hoisting the Stanley Cup. And Canada invented the game, for heaven’s sake! Sounds weird, eh? It is. But check it out, eh. It’s been literally years since a National Hock- ey League team from our northern neighbor brought home the cup. Mainland Canada considers Vancouver too westernized. Not cold enough! Not enough snow. Not enough flannel. Not enough “eh’s” in their vocabulary. It irks them to no end that one of their “origi- nals” such as the Montreal Canadiens or the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Edmonton Oilers or some other homeland franchise is not vying for the title, other than Vancouver. To date the Canucks lead the Bruins by a game as they head to Beantown for their game six. Very intriguing. Boston is the more physical team and Vancouver is perhaps the more tal- ented. Both netminders are nails, as Tim Thomas is a block of granite for the Bruins and Roberto Luongo is masterful with an Olympic gold medal on his resume. All predictions aside, let’s project winners. I’ve stated that precisely so as not to be held accountable for either outcome! Let’s start with the puck. It has been a home series as both have taken care of business on their own ice. Look for goalie Thomas to stonewall the fish (um, that’s what a Canuck is) in game six but look for the quicker Vancouver team to break their country’s heart and take game seven by a goal in a thrilling, classic game seven. Eh? The Dallas Mavericks are bouncing into Miami on a roll. Jason “The Jet” Terry is bombing away from downtown, Hanford, Calif. product Tyson Chandler is gobbling up rebounds and, well, Dirk is the best basket- ball player on the court. If Dallas wins the title Nowitzki can be mentioned in the same conversation as Larry Bird, albeit a tad bit lat- er on in that conversation. NBA fans outside of Miami will collectively groan and moan if James, Wade, Bosh and company hold serve for the final two games and get crowned. Look for confetti to fall from the rafters at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday the 14th as The Heat once again trump the Mavericks, just as they did in ‘06. James shall impose his will as the triumvirate “Come Together” as one for the title. Okay readers! I’ll meet the three of you at Jastro Park for a little two-on-two. 2 The Bakersfield Voice Sunday, June 19, 2011 Share stories, photos, blogs www. bakersfieldvoice .com ■ Submitting your stories for The Bakersfield Voice is simple and FREE!
