YOUR GARDEN
Fall right into a new gardening season!
W
e have long said fall is one of the best times to plant. It also always inspires me to get my yard cleaned up — and fertilized a couple of times — before it goes “to sleep.” Not only is it a great time to be outside, but you can make quite an impact on how your plants look now and even next spring. Planting in the fall, in general, gives your plants time to get rooted and established all Gardening columnist winter. Then, when spring comes, you will get the benefit of all the spring growth. Also, your plants will have developed a nice root system to carry them through our hot summer. Hence the phrase, “Fall is for planting.” Of course, now is also the time for all

your cool season veggies and flowers. Again, don’t wait until spring — get them in now for stronger, better, plants — not to mention better production. Please don't panic because the calendar says summer is over and fall is here. You’re Upcoming not late at all! events at In the Central Valley, we Robby’s Nursery are blessed 13129 Hageman Road with a long • Big Sale and Festive season that Decor — Oct. 9 & 10 has barely started. Watch • Bonsai class — the temperaNovember tures and • Rose Care & plant when it Pruning — December begins to cool down. I like to wait until mid-October to plant. Availability will be better then, as well. While I’m waiting for my favorite planting time, I use this window to clean up tired-looking areas of my yard by lightly pruning summer damage, pulling weeds,
and putting down preemergent for future weeds. Next I fertilize, getting food to my plants before they slow down for the winter. I go as far as spraying weak plants and trees weekly with my favorite, “Growvite.” This fertilizer has a penetrant and can be used as often as once a week to whip plants into shape quickly! Then, in November, I will finish off the fall season with an organic, slow release fertilizer that will stay in the soil and plant longer. These products are granular and have the “good bacteria” in them that will improve your soil and have nutrition that is more readily available to the plant. So get out there and enjoy this glorious time of year! Note: Don’t forget to visit your local nursery and pick out your plants to show off in the fall. And watch Robby’s Nursery for some exciting changes in 2011! Hope to see you soon! Kathy Robinson is the owner of Robby’s Nursery in Northwest Bakersfield.

Local church takes fun & food to the community BY JOSH HEIMILLER Community contributor
O
n Sunday, Oct. 10 at 10:45 a.m. Parkside Church won’t be hosting its worship services in its normal location. Rather than meeting in the church building, the church will head across the street to College Park in Northeast Bakersfield for “Church at the Park.” The event will include upbeat music, a message from the Bible, lunch, and fun activities for all ages.
The church expects to provide free hot dogs and hamburgers for approximately 200 people. An inflatable bounce house and obstacle course will provide plenty of excitement for the children. Teenagers will have an opportunity to test their skill in the inflatable jousting ring. According to Associate Pastor Josh Heimiller, “Our goal is to provide a free and fun event for the whole family. It’s our way of showing God’s love to our community.”

S
having the way to conquer kid’s cancer is the motto of St. Baldrick’s Foundation. When Ken and Katie Hutchins’ son was stricken with Neuroblastoma, they knew they had to find a way to make a difference. A fundraiser was born, a charity selected and the shave was on in Bakersfield. Neuroblastoma is a malignant cancerous tumor that strikes children most commonly during infancy. Over 650 new cases are diagnosed each year. Neuroblastoma can occur in many places in the body, but most commonly develop in the abdomen. It involves the sympathetic nervous system and most times it isn’t diagnosed until it has already spread to other parts of the body. Ken and Katie’s son, Garrett, 3, was diagnosed with High Risk Stage IV Neuroblastoma when he was barely 2 years old. After aggressive treatment that included six months of chemotherapy, radiation and a stem-cell transplant, Garrett now tests free of the disease. Encouraged by her husband, the idea of a fundraiser was born in the heart of Katie. She did lots of research and found that St. Baldrick’s Foundation supports research to find cures for all childhood cancers. Katie decided to support St. Baldrick’s Foundation because: “They provide support to research all childhood cancers not just one,” said Katie. “Some parents only support charities for Neuroblastomoa; I didn’t want to support only one
cancer research project.” Katie added, “St. Baldrick’s Foundation even helps pay for case studies and post-treatment quality of life studies, which is rare, many other charities do not.” On Saturday, Sept. 18, the first of its kind in Bakersfield, a fundraising event was hosted at The Prime Cut, 9500 Brimhall Road, by owners Merv and Michelle Crist. They provided beverages and snacks to the participants — and Merv even found himself under the shears in support. The fun began with brothers James and Daniel Gellatly, aka “The Bald Bako Boys,” who were first to go under the blade. Jessica Elmore joined in to become the first female participant of the day. Kern’s Public Safety was on hand to show support. Bakersfield Fire Department was represented by Engineer Brian McGrath. Kern County Fire Department was represented by Ken’s uncle, retired battalion chief, Don White; Firefighter Clint Classen; KCFD dispatcher David Cannon, former KCFD dispatcher, Desiree Brandon and the event organizer, herself a former KCFD dispatcher, Katie Hutchins. Not to be outdone, Bakersfield Police Department and Kern County Sheriff’s Deputies lined up. BPD Officer’s Messnik, Mears, Hamma, Vaughn, Wright, Martinez, Escobedo, Lefler, Gavin and Allen participated. Joining them, KCSO Deputies Waters, Leyendecker and Brandon (Desiree’s husband) also went under the shears. And it wasn’t just the cops on the beat as Judge Steve Katz, his son, Harrison, and court bailiff Deputy Wright were also sporting new ‘dos.
Katie’s daughter, Rileigh, got to clip the hair off her Lakeside School history teacher, John Shumacher. John even sacrificed the beard he has worn for over 40 years. Three-year-old Jackson Delacruz also got a trim — donating his long hair to Locks of Love. The Prime Cut owner Michelle Crist got to chase her husband Merv with a set of clippers. Event Emcee Nick Assaturian didn’t last long as soon his wife, Karen, got to shave his head. Nick also sacrificed his 30-year-old beard when someone offered up an additional $20. Ridgecrest was well represented also. Russell Grandmont, Kris Graham, Chris Gray and Steve Stevens, collectively known as the Ridgecrest Boys attended. In addition, the real estate community joined in as it was reported three realtors and one appraiser came for their shaves. Barbers (the experts St. Baldrick prefers) who supported the event were Terra Adams from Teaze Salon, Laurie Lerwick and Bunny Stevens from Madison Avenue Salon in Ridgecrest, Tricia Thomas and Gina Paregien from the House of Color Hair Salon. In all, more than 60 men and women joined as shavees; over $21,000 in donations was raised. The cash from the silent auction and raffle was flowing all the way to the end of the day. On Sunday, there were a lot of bald heads in Bakersfield — but all for a great cause. Frank Domingo is the owner of Frank Domingo Photography.

Look at these soldiers above and feel their sacrifice for our freedom and ask yourself “Have I thanked them for their courage”? “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be diectly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” — George Washington
