COURTESY OF KERN COUNTY HISPANIC CHAMBER OFCOMMERCE

The Kern County HispanicChamber of Commerce Busi-ness Education Foundation, thenonprofit arm of the KernCounty Hispanic Chamber of

Commerce that is dedicated to educa-tional and business development, rec-ognized 13 local students in a scholar-ship award ceremony on Thursday,July 19, at the Bakersfield Marriott.

The foundation provided scholar-ships to more than a dozen Kern Coun-ty deserving students from Arvin,Delano, Shafter, Wasco, Lamont andBakersfield.

“The purpose of the Foundation is toprovide financial assistance to stu-dents furthering their education inbusiness or related fields,” said JayTamsi, CEO/President of the KernCounty Hispanic Chamber of Com-merce. “We reviewed an array ofscholarship applications from studentswho have contributed to the Hispaniccommunity as well as other nonprofitsand community organizations. Lookingat the scholarship honorees, we feelthat an investment in these students isan investment in Kern County.”

Tamsi said while a few of them willbe headed off to schools out of thearea, a common theme raised amongthe recipients is that all want to giveback and contribute to Kern County,even if it means returning home, wear-ing the hat of a doctor, engineer orpublic safety employee.

The theme of the scholarship eventwas “Investing in Tomorrow’s Future.”The evening kicked off with a recep-tion and music. Kiyoshi Timono,KGET News Anchor served as masterof ceremony and Hector Garcia, presi-dent of the KCHCC Business Educa-

tion Foundation and Vice President ofRabobank provided the welcome.

Dr. Carlos Alvarez, Realtor BlodgieRodriguez, and Bakersfield CollegeProfessor Cornelio Rodriguez servedon the foundation were among themembers presenting the scholarshiphonorees with their awards.

“This will truly be a special andinspirational event for us,” said HectorGarcia, before the event. “They are thereason we volunteer tirelessly andfundraise. We need to invest in ouryouth because academic success willtranslate into career success and eco-nomic success for communities. Thesecollege students are already giving

back in various ways. I can only imag-ine what the future holds for them:nothing but greatness.”

If weeds are taking over your lawn and garden, sprayweed killers before 7 a.m. and use a spreader-stick-er with your product. A spreader-sticker is a specialkind of material you can add to your spray mixture.The spreader-sticker acts like a “glue” to help

increase the adhesion of weed killers to plant surfaces— and will help the weed killer absorb better withoutevaporating right away.

Also make sure the root area of your lawn or plants isdamp when you spray the killers which will result inless damage to what you want to keep.

You can bring in samples of the weeds to Robby'sNursery and get specific importation on what and how touse.

Weed killers can be tricky — you do not want to overuse them so come by for extra help!

This week’s gardening tip is from Kathy Robinson of

Robby’s Nursery.
