Reader: My name is Nikki and I own Nikki's Smokin BBQ, featured in Pete Tittl's restaurant review Feb. 14.
If you are going to write a story on my place, please get your facts right.
One, if your reviewer had looked at our menu, our beef ribs are not done in the smoker.
Two, there is no bacon in the Potato for a Crowd.
Three, what do we have anything to do with the Barbecue Factory?
I do respect Pete Tittl's opinion, and on that note, will be making some changes (bread).
The only other...
Reader: Once again The Californian has proven its bias against the Bakersfield Police Department with the headline "Officers slay parolee." Out of all the verbs in the English language, you chose to use one that provokes an image of big, bad police officers killing without provocation.
Webster's Dictionary defines slay as to kill violently, wantonly, or in great numbers. Wantonly is defined as undisciplined.
The police department did not wantonly kill Mr. Anderson. They did not...
Reader: Thank you for your recent coverage of the devastating wildfires in Southern California. Kern County should be proud of the 230 local individuals from various federal, state and local agencies who are in harms way trying to suppress these fires.
I am curious about one thing however. Just how long will it be before The Californian criticizes these same brave individuals because they have “made too much” in overtime?

Reader: I enjoyed your coverage of the recent races at the Famoso raceway. The articles were well written and informative and I am grateful for your coverage.
However your reporting staff missed the boat, or drag racer in this case, in one important area.
We have a homegrown boy who drove a homegrown car and is in the Drag Racing Hall of Fame but I never saw a mention of him or the car. He consistently beat up on the big names when they came...

Reader: I just read your list of nominations for the "Seven Wonders of Kern" and found it unbelievable that Red Rock Canyon was not included.
This beautiful area is visited by thousands of county residents to ride off-road vehicles, camp and hike. It is a state park.
Where else in the county do you have this diversity...

Reader: Perhaps the people who selected your new format think "change" is important, and maybe they're correct. But shouldn't the change be an improvement?
Combining the Local and national news into one section on Mondays does nothing but create a mess. It's a channel-surfing format, and anyone...

Reader: Your new weather format is terrible. You've taken Bear Valley Springs and Tehachapi out of Kern cities. The population in Tehachapi is growing by leaps and bounds and is much more populated than Glennville or some of these other cities -- California City, Kernville, Lebec, Maricopa.
What's more populated? We need to get...

Reader: I just wanted to write regarding last Saturday's story about the death of a dachshund at the Centennial dog park.
I think that this article is absolutely appalling! There is no reason that every detail describing this dog's horrible death was written. Down to the noises he was making as he died! Give me a break, how can...

Reader: I found your response regarding the Ann Coulter issue rather amusing, if not erroneous in itself. You start your response with "not so fast." I'm going to say the same: "Not so fast, Mr. Jenner." What you have overlooked is the fact that Ann Coulter's remark about Mr. Edwards was stated. I'm certain you understand the word. If not, look it up in...

Reader: By printing a recent Associated Press story, The Californian has participated in a great distortion. The story in question, published in Thursday's edition, quotes Ann Coulter as wishing John Edwards would be killed in a terrorist attack.
The truth is Ms. Coulter never said that. What she did was...
