Seeing their family’s pet goat on a recent cover of the Voice brought back fond memories for Paula Francis and her sons, Ethan and Drew. The brothers raised JoJo and later donated him to CALM. Our cover photo was taken as the brothers said goodbye to JoJo right before he became a member of the museum’s petting zoo. JoJo was originally featured on our Nov. 15 cover after an encounter with Voice contributor Keisha Gaines. Gaines “met” this friendly goat during a visit to the zoo and got him to stand still long enough — with the help of a treat — to take his photo. Read JoJo’s story on page 6. Your photo could be on our next cover. Photos and stories for the Dec. 27 issue must be posted by Wednesday, Dec. 16.

New Boys & Girls Club opens in southwest BY MAGGIE CUSHINE Community contributor
T
he Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County is proud to announce that the doors are now open at the new Stockdale Boys & Girls Club. The newest club, located at 5207 Young St. (behind Kohl’s on Gosford), began meeting the after-school needs in the southwest on Nov. 1 and the programs couldn’t be better. The new club is within a five-mile radius of eight schools in the southwest, which will allow the Boys & Girls Club to better serve their members. Transportation from the schools to the club after school is available. “We are so excited for our new location and all of the new opportunities to serve more youth in the southwest and northwest,” says Program Director Mike Espinoza. “The new facility is thriving with all of our programs including homework help, computer education, sports, art and much more. The Boys & Girls Club is honored to now serve over 3,000 children daily through all of their 32 locations in Kern County.” “We are just so happy and thankful to all of our families, supporters and board for making this transition happen. We are grateful to have a space to call our own and to grow into the future,” reported Zane Smith, executive director. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County’s mission is to “inspire and enable young people, especially those that need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.” The monthly afterschool fee is $100 per club member, but scholarships based on income, and need, are available. Currently, 90 percent of the youth who attend the Boys & Girls Clubs in Kern County attend free of charge, thanks to community and grant support. For more information or a personal tour, please call 3253730, or visit: www.bgclubsofkerncounty.org.

Everything’s coming up roses! S ince we’re in the best rose growing country in the world, and the rose is one of the most popular flowers, it makes perfect sense to devote a whole column to this flower. Anyone can grow a rose with just a little effort, and they’ll bloom all spring, summer and fall. Here are some tips to help you enjoy them to the fullest. This time of year is a good time to buy roses. We get in bare root roses (a little less expensive than container roses) about two weeks before Christmas so the selection is very good. Another good time to purchase them is in the late spring when they’re in full bloom. Remember, when you purchase roses to get #1 grade. This is top quality in the “rose Gardening columnist world” and is all we sell at Robby’s. A quick explanation for other terms you’ll see when purchasing roses — Patent: This means a royalty is still being paid to the developer (newer varieties), thus a little more expensive. Non patent: Patent is off these older roses, (cheaper). Some of the best tried-and-true roses are in this group. The terms, patented or non patented , have nothing to do with quality, just royalties. Roses come in classes like hybrid tea (large, long-stemmed rose), floribunda (blooms in clusters), climbers, shrubs, ground cover and miniatures. They are also grown as patio trees. This means you can use a rose in many different

situations and combinations, with other roses or in with other plants. Check at your local nursery for particulars to the varieties you choose. We can also help you pick plants to complement your roses and will require the same care. Pruning roses is really important. In Bakersfield, December or January are the best months to prune. At Robby’s Nursery, we sponsor a “Rose Pruning and Care Seminar"” this month. Saturday, Dec. 19 is the day to attend and get all the particulars on roses. You can leave this seminar with the confidence to go home and prune for the best year of flowers ever. This seminar can take the mystery out of rose care and will help make you the expert! Remember, with roses, the more you prune, the more they bloom. As a general rule, you can feed roses once a month through the growing seasons — all year, except winter. They will need spraying if they develop problems with insects or disease. Roses love the heat and they want full sun. Water when the ground is dry. Water well and deep when you water, and then let them dry out in between waterings. Keep the old flowers pruned off or “dead headed” and they’ll bloom again more quickly. If you follow these basic tips and prune correctly, your roses should give you a lot of beautiful flowers for many years to come.

So take a break from this busy time of year and give a little time to your roses. They will reward you for many months to come. Also, pick up an extra rose and give it to your favorite gardener!

Our third ‘kid!’
PHOTOS BY PAULA FRANCIS
Drew Francis and his goat, JoJo, go for a walk. BY PAULA FRANCIS Community contributor
“W
hat a great photo of JoJo!” exclaimed my son, as he looked at the cover of the latest issue of The Bakersfield Voice. And the photo of the red and white goat by Voice community contributor Keisha Gaines was delightful and brought back fond memories for our entire family. You see, that adorable goat, now living in the petting zoo at CALM was raised by my sons, Drew and Ethan. The goat’s name is JoJo, and, contrary to Keisha’s article, he is not a Nubian goat, he is a purebred Boer goat. While both breeds of goats come from Africa, their difference is significant. Nubian goats are a dairy breed and the Boer goats are a “meat” breed; in other words, Nubians are used for milk production, and Boers are used for meat production. JoJo was born at Hokit Farm on the campus of Valley Oaks Charter School in February 2009. He was one of a set of goat triplets, but from early moments after his birth, it was apparent that his mother was not willing to raise three kids. So, as a newborn goat, JoJo was orphaned and adopted by our family. Raising JoJo was like raising a third child. For a few weeks, he needed to be fed often throughout the day. So when we left the house, he often went with us. JoJo traveled in a dog crate and learned to get in and out of the car with ease. We fed him from a bottle and slowly introduced him to grain and other goat feed. Once a week, JoJo got to visit his siblings at Hokit Farm when the boys attended their enrichment classes at the school. He enjoyed his “play dates” with the other goats, but was always just a little different. When the other
goat kids shied away from the students, JoJo ran to them for attention (OK, really, he was just looking for a bottle). All the students loved JoJo because he loved them. Since JoJo was imprinted by humans (instead of his goat mom), he preferred to be around people. As JoJo grew and needed more space to run and play, we moved him from a small pen to a larger pasture built for our sons’ fair project goats years ago. Complete with granite boulders, a swing set, and a fort with a slide, it was JoJo’s playground. Many days we would look out the window and catch him climbing on the kids’ fort, or headbutting the swings. He would walk across the 4-x-4 wooden beams like he was on flat ground. We even caught him going down the slide behind the boys a time or two. But, what we really loved to watch was JoJo running alongside the boys when they rode their bikes; he was like their pet dog and even knew his name! One day, after visiting CALM with his dad and seeing the petting zoo, Ethan had an idea. He didn’t want to just sell JoJo, or keep him as an “only goat” — instead, he wanted to donate him to CALM, so JoJo could provide fun and enjoyment for the families who visit throughout the year. The zoo keepers accepted the offer and, one day, JoJo was loaded in our trailer and hauled to his new home. A few months after delivering JoJo to CALM, my son Drew visited with his dad and was delighted when JoJo left his buddies and came to the fence when Drew called his name. Life at CALM seems to agree with JoJo, and we are so pleased to know that he is bringing joy to visitors of all ages. So, next time you’re at CALM, say “hi” to JoJo for us — you’ll know which one he is. He’ll be in your back pocket looking for treats.
Drew helped raise JoJo, a Boer goat, with his brother Ethan. The boys adopted the orphaned goat as a baby and had to feed it from a bottle. According to Paula Francis, the boys’ mother, raising Jo Jo was like raising a third “child.” Here, JoJo anxiously awaits his next feeding.

During the 1st quarter of the 2nd game, she broke her right big toe and continued to play the game and even went on to play in three more games. She had a great heart and now she can rest her toe and let it heal.This is what makes her my little TURF SMURF Champion. Gaby not only plays soccer but also plays volleyball and cheerleading. She also does ERE and Girl Scouts, and still finds time to stay on the Principal’s List and never missed a day of school for the last four years.

usso’s Books is proud to host the First Christmas Book Drive benefiting CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). It is hoped that this will become an annual book drive. CASA of Kern County began operation in the summer of 1994 to serve as an independent voice for the best interests of dependent children — abused, neglected, and abandoned children living in protective care — in Kern County. Our mission is to recruit, screen and train volunteers from communities throughout Kern County to serve as advocates in child protection proceedings. We also support and closely supervise the advocacy work of our volunteers throughout the duration of their court assignments. Over the past 15 years, CASA of Kern County has recruited and trained 679 advocates and has served 1,767 of Kern County’s most vulnerable children. The holidays are especially tough for these kids. Some of them think that they’ve been forgotten; lost in the system. We want to make sure that every child receives a gift. We urge you to participate in our Christmas Book Drive for CASA. Here’s how it works: CASA has sent us a list of how many kids are in their program — no names because their privacy is of the utmost concern for CASA! (We do know how many kids are involved, their gender and their ages.) We have set up a table with suggested titles that are appropriate for minors. You can grab a book that was suggested by our booksellers, or grab a bookmark and pick out a book yourself. Purchase the book and we’ll place it in the “book box” for CASA. From now until Dec. 25, we will collect the books and take them over to CASA to give to the children. Our goal is to raise at least 1,000 books! We certainly won’t mind if we break that goal early … we’ll just up it to more! We want to let them know that Bakersfield cares. Won’t you help us give the gift of literacy?
