BY BIANCA NAVARRO Community contributor ream as if you will live forever; live as if you will die today.” That is my sister’s way of looking at life. Nothing scares her — not even leaving her family for an entire school year and living on the other side of the world! That’s right; Joanna has headed to Germany on a foreign-exchange program and has left behind her senior year at Ridgeview High School. She is so excited to be staying in a monastery to learn a third lan- guage — she’s fluent in Spanish and English and is currently learn- ing to speak German. Joanna has reported that the monastery is incredible. “The site of it is breath taking!” she said. “It’s like being in Harry Potter — only without the wiz- ards!” Joanna claims the atmosphere to be extremely refreshing as well. She shares that transportation is a lot different from here. There are hardly any cars — and most people walk or rely on bikes. And for food, vegetables and meat are commonly served. Most importantly, she says the people are very polite and wel- coming. While there, my sister hopes to visit museums, ruins, and other historical landmarks. She anticipates touring France, the Swiss Alps, Italy, Spain, and Greece! Adventure seems to follow her, so I have yet to hear her stories. Joanna has taught me two things. One being, yesterday’s dreams are today’s goals. And two, you have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go. My family and I are exceptionally proud of her. There is no doubt in my mind my sister has an amazing future ahead of her. Bianca Navarro is a freshman at Ridgeview High School where she misses the company of her older sis- ter, Joanna. 2 The Bakersfield Voice Sunday, September 26, 2010 Share stories, photos, blogs www. bakersfieldvoice .com ■ Submitting your sto- ries for The Bakersfield Voice is simple and FREE!

E-mail Sandra Molen at smolen@bakersfield.com YOUR VOICE n Oct 30, 2008, Kenny Elmore rose from bed at 4 a.m. — like he had every morning for the past seven years to do his usual 4:20 a.m. workout. He chatted with a friend, Dave, for a few minutes before leaving the gym at approxi- mately 5:20 a.m. He went home, ate, show- ered and was out the door by 6:10 a.m.. Around 6:20 a.m., on route to his job, he was hit by someone who had made a left turn in front of him. Kenny was on his motorcycle. When his wife got the call, ironically, it was from his boss, asking Wendy where Kenny was — as he was never late for work. His co-workers, also worried that Kenny had not shown up for work, had actually seen the accident on their way to work! They knew it “didn’t look good” for their lifeless friend. The ambulance rushed Kenny to emer- gency where he was clinging to life. Amaz- ingly coherent, the ambulance driver said Kenny was pretty alert for “what should be a dead guy.” Life as Kenny Elmore had lived for 41 years changed in about ONE SECOND. The accident caused major life threaten- ing trauma to his pelvis, and midsection, major blood loss, blood clots, multiple torn ligaments in his right knee, and burns and major lacerations to his left leg. Kenny was in the hospital for six, long weeks. After the hospital stay, he was allowed to go home and was bedridden for another six weeks, due to the severity of his injuries. Totally bedridden for three months, he would have his loving wife, Wendy, children, Loren, 19, and Kelly, 16, help with feeding, dressing, and any and all daily activities he could muster up lying in a hospital bed — the daily activities that most of us can take for granted were an unbelievable chore for this once active, agile man. A physical therapist would come in to work with Kenny — and shortly realized that this man was stronger than the average bear. He could do things with balls and bands that he wasn’t “supposed to do yet.” Totally impressed, the PT moved right along with Kenny’s progress. Tiring quickly of the supine position, Kenny attempted to sit in a wheel chair for 30 minutes a day. Vertigo from lying down in bed so long took its toll. Kenny told me he had to sit up an inch or two a day to try to get his bearings back. Inch by inch, he finally became vertical after five days! Within three months of the accident, Kenny became weight bearing. Kenny’s genetic size and strength came in like a life saving device. His fitness level, prior to the accident, coupled with his size and strength, helped him stay alive after the accident. Moreover, it also helped him heal from many of his injuries that took over six months due to their severi- ty. I’ve seen pictures of Kenny in the hospi- tal — ouch, major ouch. One would think he wasn’t gonna make it, if you know what I mean. Doctors said it would be awhile before he could walk again. Beyond that, he credits his family for his return to existence. His devoted wife took six weeks off to nurse him back to health. His daughter and son also helped dad to his path to recovery. Kelly told me he just did whatever was needed to help his dad in any way he could. Loren said she had to nur- ture her dad back to health, one day at a time, and knows as an athlete herself, that his size, strength and fitness lev- el played a big role in his recovery. I would like to mention that while I did not know Kenny and his family prior to the accident, I can see a bond between his family the minute they enter the gym. Its “Family Fitness” time when the Elmore’s arrive . Kenny’s book, “One Sec- ond,” which has been pro- moted at Fitness 19, Russo’s and several book signing events, is still available to anyone interest- ed in how this Kenny Elmore’s life changed in just ONE SECOND. Read how the horrible anguish of this accident lead him to the perils of a tri- umphant recovery in full detail. This short article does little justice but only acknowledges how fitness helped him on his road to back to life and the gym. Kenny told me that prayers, fitness, fam- ily, and his friends from church were his true support mechanisms. Fast forwarding to today, Kenny is back at the gym, getting himself back in shape That, of course, takes on a whole new meaning. Kenny currently wears an AFO (ankle foot orthopedic foot brace) and a knee brace, has permanent paralysis below the knee and even has to wear a special brace on his foot at night when sleeping. Still, we have seen Kenny come back to life, one step at a time, literally speaking. He works out on a daily basis with his family. He recently got off disability and has a new job as a safety contractor for Aera Energy. Congrats to that, Mr. Elmore! Miracles do happen. Kenny Elmore is proof of that. Kenny Elmore, 43 years young, is the author of the book “One Second.” This book describes the one second it took to change his life. Please pick up a copy of “One Sec- ond,” available at Russo’s book store, Ama- zon.com, and Barns and Noble Booksellers. Questions, comments? Please email Gina @[email protected].
