BY JENNIFER BURGER Community contributor Y oung people of Kern County, get ready for Chemical Circus, a travel- ing interactive program brought to you by the Chemistry Department at California State University, Bakersfield. In its first year of existence, and already a hit at the Boys & Girls Club and with local school science clubs, the program will now reach out to more youth thanks to a $10,000 grant recently announced. CSUB’s program is one of nine winners nationwide receiving funding from “Partnering for Excellence: Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education,” a national competition hosted by Ashoka Changemakers, Carnegie Corporation of New York and The Opportunity Equation. For the U.S. to remain competi- tive in STEM fields, youth must be attracted early and retained until they complete college. The grant winners have come up with creative ways to bring STEM pro- fessionals into K-12 schools to use their talent, knowledge and real- world skills to engage students, particularly in high-need commu- nities. CSUB’s Chemistry Department received the Innovations in Life Sciences Prize, sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The prize will allow the department to purchase materials, develop demonstrations, and pay senior undergraduate students to train and work as program lead- ers. The Chemical Circus is a series of engaging, entertaining, and educational chemistry activities developed by the CSUB Chemistry Department to pro- mote interest in chemistry among local youth. A Chemical Circus session consists of demonstrations performed by trained faculty and students, followed by a safe, hands-on activity. So far, demon- strations have been held at the Boys and Girls Club — and at some science club meetings at local schools. With the grant, the program will expand into high school class- rooms and elsewhere in the com- munity. Not only does the pro- gram inspire participating youth, but the experience also offers an opportunity for service learning for CSUB students which, in turn, increases retention and learning within the chemistry major. “Students get the chance to teach and mentor K-12 youth about chemistry, reinforcing con- cepts they have learned in class and strengthening leadership skills and the importance of com- munity-based work,” said Dr. Danielle Solano, assistant profes- sor of chemistry at CSUB.

Probably die in a small town, oh those small communities.” Ah, the small town. Slower pace of liv- ing. Not so many worries. Can breathe easier there. Grew up in one myself. John “Cougar” Mellancamp sang it well. Bako has a small town neighbor to the north- west who deserves some lovin’ — so Wasco, this one’s for you! Undefeated BHS and perennial D-II power Garces seem to garner most of the attention in our town when high school football playoffs come around each fall — and deservedly so. But a nice little story is playing out this season in Wasco as the farming community nationally known for its roses has forged a stellar prep football campaign of its own. The #3 seeded, 11-1 Tigers shall face off against top-seeded, undefeated Fresno-Washington Union for the Division IV valley championship in Fresno. It's been 22 years since Wasco High competed for a section title. And these cats are for real! The Wasco offense is anchored by a ferocious rushing attack featuring two, count 'em, two 100-yard run- ning backs in Austin Tijerina (155.4 ypg) and Michael Martinez (116.6 ypg). Their defense isn't too shabby either as they held number two seed Tulare- Mission Oak to but 13 points on the road in a semi- final tussle. The Tigers will most certainly have their paws full facing defending section champ Washington Union. There is a feeling of David vs. Goliath brewing here — and hopefully at the end of the contest Wasco High School, and its small-town faithful, shall come up smelling like roses! The fresh breath of air over at the men’s basketball program at CSUB is quite invigorating. I love new head coach Rod Barnes’ mantra that “if you practice hard you’ll get playing time.” That line alone keeps all of the players on their toes during the long practices and gives cer- tain hope to those players who believe that they may be stuck on the pine all year long He's certainly been a man of his word as there have been games where he has used upwards of 12 players. One nor- mally sees but a seven-to -eight man rota- tion in college basketball unless there is a blowout and garbage time presents itself. At press time, the Roadrunners were sporting a fine 5-2 record against some very worthy opponents. To date, Coach Barnes has been just what the doctor ordered for the once moribund program. I’d thought I’d seen it all with the plethora of realignment schemes and hop- scotching football programs which has, in my opinion, belied the sanctity of the col- lege football landscape, until it was revealed that Boise State is heading to the Big East conference! Huh? Doesn’t that sound weird? Of course, all of these moves are driven by the almighty dollar. And guess who the real force behind it all is: Television networks, my friends! The respective universities see the gold at the end of the rainbow as they join these realigned conferences who have secured preponderous television contracts. Boise State? Big East? Big bucks! “Halo there. How ya doing?” “Just fine, thank you,” replies the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Major League baseball team. “A little light in the wallet, but hey, we got what we sought.” Indeed. The same-day signings of all-world Albert Pujols from the St. Louis Cardinals and ace starting pitcher C.J. Wilson from divi- sion rival Texas was a real coup. Pujols brings instant offense and Watson sets up what portends to be one of the top starting rotations in all of baseball. The Halo’s front office is obviously banking on huge attendance spikes and deep playoff runs during the coming years in order to justify the $331.5 million that the two contracts are worth. Only time will tell if they sold their soul to the pointy-tailed one who resides down below. It’s getting hot in here! I’m out.

YOUR WEEKLY GARDENING TIP CSUB’s Coach Barnes is just what the doctor ordered YOUR SCHOOLS YOUR SPORTS MICHAEL ELLIOTT Sports columnist Traveling chemistry program to visit local schools through CSUB grant BY JOAN CASANOVA Community contributor L ocal kids are growing green giants in the Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program colossal cabbage contest. Kids across America are learn- ing to garden and some are earn- ing a lot of “green” participating in this program. This season, more than 1.5 million third graders in 48 states dug in and got hands-on gardening experience growing colossal cabbages, reap- ing hefty harvests and holding high hopes to win “best in state.” A winning student from each participating state receives a $1,000 scholarship towards their education from Bonnie Plants. A number of Bakersfield schools participated in the colos- sal cabbage growing program this year including: Bakersfield Adventist Academy, Bethel Christian School, Greenfield Union School District, Jefferson School, Noble Elementary School, Ramon Garza Elementary School, Rio Bravo Elementary School, Stella Hills Elementary School and Vineland Elementary School. Any third grade classroom can sign up online and receive cab- bage plants in spring. Each year Bonnie Plants, the largest producer of vegetable and herb plants in North America, with 75 growing stations across the country, trucks free O.S. Cross, or "oversized," cabbage plants to third grade classrooms whose teachers have signed up for the program online at www.bonnieplants.com. If nurtured and cared for, kids can grow green, giant cabbages, some tipping the scales at 40 pounds! First launched in 2002, the pro- gram awards a $1,000 scholarship to one student in each participat- ing state. At the end of the grow- ing season, teachers from each class select the student who has grown ”the “best” cabbage, based on size and appearance. A picture of the cabbage and the student entry is submitted to Bonnie Plants by mail or online. That stu- dent’s name is then entered in a statewide drawing. The winners of each state’s drawing are ran- domly selected by the Commission of Agriculture’s office, state by state. “The Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program is a wonderful way to engage children’s interest in agri- culture, while teaching them not only the basics of gardening, but the importance of our food sys- tems and growing our own”, said Stan Cope, President of Bonnie Plants. This unique, innovative program exposes children to agri- culture and demonstrates, through hands-on experience, where food comes from. The program also affords our youth with some valuable life les- sons in nurture, nature, responsi- bility, self-confidence and accom- plishment”. Why a cabbage? Cabbages were the first plant sold by Bonnie in 1918. The cabbages used for the 3rd grade program are OS Cross (over-sized), which is known for producing giant, oversized heads, making the process even more exciting for kids. Get It growing: Growing a colossal cabbage may seem like a giant undertaking for little kids, but it’s easier than you think. Let the sunshine in: Cabbages need at least six hours of full sun- light, more if possible. Survey your space: Bonnie O.S. cabbages need at least three feet on each side to spread out. If you don’t have that much space, use a large container. Supplement soil: Work some compost into the soil – cabbages love nutrient-rich soil. Feed the need: Start your cab- bage off right with an all-purpose vegetable fertilizer, then fertilize it every 10 days to keep it growing strong. Water wisely: Your cabbage needs at least one inch of rainfall each week. If it doesn’t rain, use a watering can or a garden hose to gently water your plant. Tend to trouble: Keep weeds out of the cabbage patch – they compete for the food and water your cabbage needs. Be on the lookout for brown or white moths – these come from worms that love to munch on cabbage. If you see any, get rid of them right away. Cold weather can damage your cabbage. If the weather gets below 32° F, cover your cabbage with a bucket. Hefty harvest time: In just 10 to 12 weeks, you should have a humongous head of cabbage you can be proud of. Green thumbs and persever- ance can pay off, providing partic- ipating children with as great sense of pride and accomplish- ment, a colossal cabbage, and for the lucky state winner — the beginning of an educational fund for college. To see the 2011 win- ners and learn more about the 2012 contest, visit: www.bon- nieplants.com. Students dig in, earn some “green” with cabbage growing contest Rishab of Folsom, Calif. Chatty, shown here with his win- ning cabbage, was the California state winner of the Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program. The nationwide program provides cabbage seedlings to class- rooms, including participating schools in Bakersfield, to help teach students how to garden and nur- ture “green” thumbs. A winner from each state is awarded $1,000 towards the stu- dent’s college edu- cation. PHOTO PROVIDED
