NOBI by Judy and Walt Bergen Coleus Project
A classroom project expands cutting propagation into a full activity at Richland Primary School. Students plant coleus cuttings in vermiculite under plastic, guided by Robert Thullen from the Agricultural Research Station in Shafter, then transplant rooted cuttings to pots. By Mothers Day many students take home coleus plants, learning about roots care and cultivation. The piece ends with a biblical quote and notes coleus care tips and seasonality.

Schwarzenegger seen as prevaricator by California observers
California political observers say Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is viewed as a phony by voters amid lingering Sacramento gridlock and partisan culture. Democratic strategist Bill Carrick notes the public sees little difference from Davis and questions why he relies on fundraising and TV time. Republican analysts warn of stagnation unless he reframes his direction while some see a possible November showdown against union bosses as a turning point.

Experts say breast milk provides essential nutrition and immunological protection, with solids added gradually from six to twelve months. WIC promotes breastfeeding as best through the first year and beyond, advising cautious introduction of cereals, fruits, vegetables, and meats with medical guidance. Local IBCLC and Kern County Breastfeeding Coalition offer support and resources.
