BY ANTHONY RUCKER, SR.Community contributor
Julius Rucker recently played at theall day Stockdale BasketballTournament.The first game wasearly at 8 a.m. but Julius was defi-nitely awake. Julius had a total of 18
points with a final score of Independence,20, and BHS, 42.
The second game, at 1 p.m., was a hardfought game against Liberty. At the end ofthe half, the score was 16-17 with BHSup. At 3:41 in the game, the score was 20-24 and by 1:26 in the game the score was24-24 with Liberty showing momentum.
Julius said, “I just stayed calm, playedmy game and went into clutch mode.”Julius stole the ball, went in for twopoints breaking the tie that triggered anoverall force of massive defensivedestruction in steals against Liberty.
It was hard going but through greatdefense the Drillers won 24-30. This wasone of those games that you didn’t want tomiss. Julius had eight points and showedgreat leadership for his team.
The final game for first place wasagainst Golden Valley. A week back, welost by two points; however, we were outof town and Julius was not able to play inthat game. At first we thought that thiswould be the worst battle yet — butinstead BHS took the game over with avictory of 13-38. Julis had five points,great defense, and several assists.
Congratulations to the whole team!Stay tuned for details of their next game.

Walking, balance and coordinationproblems are among the commonsymptoms in people with multiplesclerosis (MS). Those limitationsin mobility can lead to injuries
and can have a negative impact on quality oflife. To help out, the National MultipleSclerosis Society, Southern California &Nevada Chapter designed “Free from Falls: AComprehensive Fall Prevention Program forPeople with MS” which will be launched inBakersfield for the first time ever atHealthSouth Bakersfield RehabilitationHospital Thursday, January 19.
Free from Falls, which will be heldThursdays through March 8, is designed tohelp improve confidence, safety and mobilityand reduce the risk of falls by providing asupportive group atmosphere and expertinstruction. Dawn Thompson, physical thera-pist at HealthSouth, will lead each week’s twohour program. Each session will have twoparts: a discussion component focused on
awareness of issues related to falls and anexercise component directed to improvingpostural alignment, balance, endurance andmobility.
People in Bakersfield will be among thefirst to complete “Free from Falls;” the pro-gram will be offered nationwide later in thefall. The curriculum is designed for peopleliving with MS who are able to walk (alone orwith one cane, walking stick or crutch), butwho may be at risk for falling.
For more information or to receive anapplication, please call the Kern County officeof the National MS Society at: 321-9512 oremail: [email protected].
About Multiple SclerosisMultiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of
information between the brain and the bodyand it stops people from moving. Every hourin the United States, someone is newly diag-nosed with MS, an unpredictable, often dis-abling disease of the central nervous system.Symptoms range from numbness and tinglingto blindness and paralysis. The progress,
severity and specific symptoms of MS in anyone person cannot yet be predicted, butadvances in research and treatment are mov-ing us closer to a world free of MS. Most peo-ple with MS are diagnosed between the agesof 20 and 50, with more than twice as manywomen as men being diagnosed with the dis-ease. MS affects more than 400,000 people inthe U.S., and 2.1 million worldwide.
About the National Multiple Sclerosis SocietyMS stops people from moving. The National
MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. Wehelp each person address the challenges ofliving with MS. In 2010 alone, through ournational office and 50-state network of chap-ters, we devoted $159 million to programs andservices that improved the lives of more thanone million people. To move us closer to aworld free of MS, the Society also invested$37 million to support 325 new and ongoingresearch projects around the world. We arepeople who want to do something about MSNOW. Join the movement atnationalMSsociety.org.

FROM USER NAME: SONFLOWERANDGRACE
Iremain amazed at this wonderful world we live in —and God’s ability to teach us when we least expect it.Even sea glass can be used to teach a lesson. Whilecollecting these “gems” recently I became aware ofthe comparison between us, our lives and sea glass.
The simplest lesson first is a reminder of diversity.Just as sea glass comes in many shapes, sizes and colors,so do we. Sea glass becomes this treasure through tum-bling. Life is always sending obstacles our way. These“tumblings” shape us — and strengthen our faith.
Now, there are a few pieces that make it ashore stillrough and sharp around the edges. Unfortunately, it’sthe same with those hearts that have hardened, choosingto hold onto bitterness. While choosing my favorites orthe “perfect piece of sea glass,” I am gently urged torecall the many times in life that I’ve done so with oth-ers — quick to judge or label. Tumblings have wornaway or smoothed these labels so we are finally contentto just accept ourselves and others for what is now —and not what we, or they, may have done or been in thepast.
Markings and labels are still evident on some pieces ofsea glass, making the origin obvious. Or is it really soobvious?
Just as we are all creations of God before the world
gets a hold of us, sea glass alsobegins as a creation. Man takessand and heats it, molds it — cre-ating something. Then. he casts itaway as trash. Sometimes lifetakes us, tumbles us around andcasts us off — but we find comfortin the promise that God reclaimsHis creation. He watches over ourtumblings — using them to moldHis masterpiece.

When making compost, the compost is NOT “ready” until itlooks like soil. Using compost too soon can pull valuablenitrogen from the plants — as well as heating up feederroots which is not good for a healthy garden. This week’s gardening tip is from Kathy Robinson of
Robby’s Nursery. Do YOU have a gardening tip you’d like to share withour readers? Post your gardening tips and photos of your garden on ourweb site at: www. bakersfieldvoice.com.
Be patient when makingyour own compost
