hances are pretty good that if you are reading this column, your pets are some of the most fortunate companion animals in Kern Coun- ty. Not because my writing is that terrific, mind you, but because you care enough about pets to give up several minutes of your day to read up on what’s happening in the world of the four- legged critters in your area. In my experience, that translates as people who try their best to do right by the animals they bring into their lives. As the holidays creep ever closer more than a few of you will have a little something under the tree for your pet, if the 2009 AP-Petside poll is any indication. When asked, 52 percent of respondents said they planned to purchase gifts for their pets for the holidays, despite the difficult economy. I’m all for spoiling the fur-footed house inhabitants, but if you have a few extra dollars to spare perhaps dur- ing the season of giving we can all do a little something to benefit the pets who are not so lucky as ours. Kern County Animal Control can really use blanket donations to provide a little warmth and comfort for the dogs out in their kennels during these wet, cold months. They ask that the donations be blankets, not com- forters, because comforters can be shred- ded and the padding inside creates both a huge mess and a potential hazard if swal- lowed. You can drop blankets off at the shel- ter at 201 S. Mount Vernon Ave. Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry can always use cat and dog food donations. Their goal is to help disabled and/or homebound seniors and low-income folks keep their pets by helping provide food to get them through the rough patches. Cat food always seems to run in short supply. You may go to their Web site at: bakersfieldpetfood- pantry.org to find out where to drop off your donation. Helping Animals Live Tomorrow (H.A.L.T.) Rescue is selling one-pound boxes of See’s Candy during the holiday season to help raise funds. If you are planning to gift some folks on your holiday list with chocolately goodness, why not get in touch with H.A.L.T. and make your purchase doubly-sweet? Give them a call at 395- 3018 for more information about ordering. Bakersfield Cat Control can use a little holiday love to assist in their mission to Trap-Neuter-Release feral cats and adopt out kitten rescues. They can always use cat lit- ter and cat and kitten food. They are also looking for folks willing to sponsor the cost of humane cat traps, donate towards the cost of transporting cats to be steril- ized and donations to help offset the costs of veterinary care for the kittens they rescue. For more information go to their Web site at: bakers- fieldcatcontrol.com Finally, if your mailbox is anything like mine, you are probably being beset with requests for year-end dona- tions, with many of those requests coming from pet and animal organizations. Please remember to think locally when giving money to help companion animals and donate directly to our local animal shelters, rescues and welfare organizations. Many people don’t realize that when they donate to the big national groups --- the ones who send out calendars, address labels and note pads — that none of that money comes back to the local commu- nity. Help the pets in this area by donating directly to the groups who work to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets right here in Kern County. Happy holidays to you and your fur-covered friends. Questions? Comments?

The Advent Conspiracy is a grass- roots movement with more than 1,000 churches in 17 countries par- ticipating as co-conspirators. Last year, through the Advent Conspira- cy, $3 million was raised for relief projects which included providing clean water and medical attention in communities around the world. Each church involved with the Advent Conspiracy chooses its own project. The project could be drilling water wells for those who lack access to clean water or simply encouraging church members to think of meaningful acts of kindness as a way to replace traditional gifts. By partnering with the Advent Conspiracy, Parkside Church plans to combat a problem that millions of people around the globe face every day: a lack of clean drinking water. A special offering will be collected during the Advent Conspiracy ser- mon series and donated to Living Water International. According to their website, Living Water Interna- tional exists to, “Address the most basic of needs by helping deprived communities acquire safe, clean water.” Beginning November 28, the members of Parkside Church were encouraged to spend less on Christ- mas gifts this year and give more to help those in need of clean drinking water. Senior Pastor, Chris Bennett, believes that the Advent Conspiracy will help Parkside to focus on what Christmas is really all about. “We are encouraging people to buy one less gift this Christmas,” he said. “It’s not just about saving mon- ey in a bad economy. We are encouraging people to give the mon- ey that they would have spent on that gift to people in need around the world. Rather than giving a gift out of obligation, our church is com- mitted to giving gifts that really will change the world — gifts like quality time, providing clean water, and looking for ways to be more loving.” For more information about the Advent Conspiracy or Living Water International, you can visit the Parkside Church website at: www.ConnectGrowReach.org.

P BY MICHELE NEWELL Community contributor era Energy LLC and its employees in Kern County, Ventura and the Los Angeles area are reaching out to sup- port local families in need. Aera food drives provided more than 300 families with a meal in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. In November in Bakersfield, Aera culminated its 13th annual Thanks- giving food drive when the Golden Empire Gleaners picked up 127 brightly decorated boxes brimming with fixings for Thanksgiving meals for local families and nearly $2,000 in cash donations. The boxes were festively decorat- ed by students at South High School and stuffed with enough stuffing, pie fixings and turkeys or hams to feed a family of six. Nonperishable items were donat- ed by employees and Aera topped off each box with ham or turkey and fresh vegetables. “We know that there are many people in our community who go to bed hungry every night,” explains Michele Newell, public affairs spe- cialist with Aera. “We are thankful for what we have and want to give back so that everyone can have a happy Thanksgiving. “Giving of ourselves and our resources is part of Aera’s culture in our communities.” Aera’s giving in Kern County con- tinued when employees at Aera’s Midway Sunset location in Taft assembled another batch of holiday meal boxes for local families through their Adopt-a-Family program. Employees stuffed boxes with Thanksgiving feast fixings for 12 families in the Taft area. “Last year, we saw firsthand what these meals mean to these families,” explains Erika McKamie with Aera. “We brought a box of food to a grandmother who was raising her seven grandchildren, and they could not have been more excited. It was good for our new employees to see because they did not realize all the things that Aera does for our com- munity.” Aera’s two Thanksgiving food drives in Kern County were part of four food donations Aera organized at locations where they do business. In Ventura, employees donated more than $1,000 to supply 26 fami- lies with complete Thanksgiving meals. Holiday meal certificates were distributed to families at the Boys and Girls Club of Ventura through local non-profit Project Understanding. In Los Angeles, as part of the de- mobilization of renovation project on Aera’s Platform Emmy, crew boats delivered surplus food to the waiting trucks of the Food Bank of Southern California.
