ince we have had such a nice summer,I'm looking forward to my favorite timeof year — fall!I love the weather in fall and the way thesun angles hit the foliage. Every garden
takes on a different glow in the fall.This year, everything is pointing to a great
season. Bring it on! In good 'ol B'field we like to call September a
summer month! I always remember going backto school with some pretty toasty temperatures.
That being said, it is time to start thinkingabout the fall application of pre-emergent.Clean out all your flower beds and sprinkle onthe seed control to catch all those fall weedsbefore they start germination. If you over seedyour lawn, you will have to wait on this applica-tion. If you’re not going to over seed, get it donesoon!
Another thing that I’ve noticed this year is theabundance of flying creatures eating away allover the yard. A general clean up spray will workwonders — remember to spray in the early
morning and repeat theapplication each weekfor three weeks. Bring bysamples of damagedleaves and we can getyou the best treatmentfor your problems.
Snail bait where need-ed — pet safe Sluggo orGro Power’s cinnamonspray are both goodalternatives to some ofthe stronger products. Ilike a light applicationonce a week. I alsoalways put the baits outof the path of any ani-
mals that might pass through my garden. I usually wait until October to put in my fall
color. The nights have started to cool off, but thedays and ground are still warm. Pansies, snaps,calendulas, Iceland poppies are all good annu-als that should thrive clear through spring.
October is also the best time to plant newperennial color. The plants can get establishedthrough the winter and get the benefit of thatspring growth spurt. Robby’s Nursery will begetting in a lot of new stock as soon as theweather cools down a bit.
At Robby’s, we definitely believe fall is forplanting. It is probably the best time to plantand we have always ordered accordingly.
Our move is going quite well. The “new digs”should have a paved road by the time you readthis. Walls are going up on the new store andplans are being finalized for the new seminararea.
We’re optimistic about the future and areleaping forward with faith that it will all workout!
Thank you to all our good friends and col-leagues who are helping to make this happen.Come by and check out our progress and seewhere we’re going.
Here’s to a great fall!

he Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry’s next pet foodbagging event will be Sept. 11 at 2 p.m., in frontof the Self Serve Pet Spa, 2816 Calloway Drive,Suite103. Volunteers and donations of dog and cat food
are needed.There’s a lot of good news lately from the Pet Food
Pantry! We have hit a milestone, — over 50,000 poundsof pet food has been donated to the pantry over thepast two years! That's a number to be proud of.
Letters have been sent to all the schools and church-es here in Bakersfield. We are requesting their help withpet food drives, and also student community servicehours through volunteering. We’re extremely excitedbecause this also teaches the kids love and compassion
for needy people, and their pets, living here in ourcommunity!
The pet food pantry has added St. Vincent de Paul,310 Baker St., with pet food for the pets. St. Vincent dePaul is a wonderful program that helps homeless peo-ple get off the street for a few hours a day to a safeplace, and get a meal and shower. If they have a dog,they are able to kennel crate it so that the dog is safewhile they are eating, or in the shower. The dog is fedalso. There’s a veterinarian who volunteers her timeonce a month to help the pets of the homeless.
Good things are happening!We appreciate all your help, and couldn't do it with-
out you! For more information about volunteering ordonating pet food go to: www.bakersfieldpetfood-pantry.org, or call 619-2029.

fter 35 years as a physician, Dr. Jerry Korn-feld came to the conclusion that our heartsdie too young. He believes that the heart isdesigned to last 100 years or longer. Hebelieves the problem is “that few of us dothe necessary things that will keep it in good
working order for that long.”“Your 100 Year Heart” is a book written in
“patient language, not doctor talk.” The number onekiller in our nation is heart disease. This book, writ-ten by Dr. Kornfeld, examines the factors that nega-tively influence our heart including attitude andspirituality, traditional risks factors, obesity andmedications.

He received his Bachelor of Sciencefrom the school of Public Health at UCLA and thenwent on to medical school at the University of Cali-fornia at Irvine. As a member of the faculty of theUCLA Medical School, he taught freshman medicalstudents the lost art of bedside manner and commu-nicating with their patients. He has appeared onnational television as the medical commentator.
