The first thing younotice aboutCristina and DaniWheeler are theirsmiles; sweet,
honest and welcoming.The fact that they aretrue blue,leggy, Califor-nia beauties isalso hard tomiss. Born andraised in Lan-caster, Calif.,the girls livedin Bakersfieldwhile still ingrade school.
You mayhave heard ofthese twoyoung ladies —who are betterknown in thecountry music industryas The Wheeler Sisters— on the radio lately.Their country hit single:“This Is Gonna GetUgly” was just recentlyreleased.
These two gals happento also be my nieces!
The sisters, who cur-rently live in Nashville,(Music City) Tennesseehave signed a recordcontract with OcalaRecords.
The Wheeler Sistersunique sound derivesfrom skillfully-blendedharmonies with a distinc-
tive quality that only sib-lings can create — andholds a direct relation-ship to their roots andthe music they grew uplistening to in Bakers-field known as the “Bak-
ersfieldSound.”
“We lovedliving in Bak-ersfield for apart of ourchildhood,”Christina toldme. “Our ele-mentary schoolwas centered inthe cottonfields and wewould love tosee the littlefibers of cottonblowing in the
wind.”Cristina and Dani
started wowing audi-ences when they werejust kids. Dani recallssinging back up forCristina at the KernCounty fair when shewas just 10 years old.What began as familyfun making Christmasmusic CDs and perform-ing in school musicalsblossomed into a full-time career.
Although the sistersare seven years apart inage, the difference isbarely noticeable as they
always seem to be on thesame page, laughing,talking, and usually fin-ishing each other’s sen-tences.
Raised mainly on coun-try music, the girls claim
a wide variety of influ-ences with Dani singingthe praises of BuckOwens, Miranda Lam-bert, Patsy Cline andAdele, while Cristinareflects on her love for
Billie Holiday, EttaJames, Merle Haggard,Conway Twitty andDolly.
Besides harmonizingperfectly in their choicesof music, the girls arecapable of harmonizingtheir exercise routines aswell.
Besides enjoying theirmusic, I have the pleas-ure of being their fitnesstrainer too, albeit on along-distance basis at themoment!
“Training with ourAunt Gina has taught usso much — she keeps uson track via computerwith her ever-changingfitness routines so wehave something new anddifferent to try eachweek,” the music duoagreed.
Cristina loves tabata,weight training and run-ning — and by the looksof her, she has kept trueto her fitness regimen.
Yoga and pilates keepDani’s body and mindfocused. “With the hecticgrind of performing andtraveling on the road,exercise can get usthrough the next per-formance by keeping ourminds on music and ourlungs at peak capacity.”
The girls’ dream is toreturn to Bakersfield and
practice the city’s unique“Bakersfield Sound” atBuck Owens’ CrystalPalace. I know theywould pack the house!
I am proud of mynieces and doubly proudthat they have made acommitment to fitness allthe while pursuing theirmusic career. I am cer-tainly going to add theirsassy new tune to myworkout playlist!
It’s a thrill to think Iwas even a small part ofThe Wheeler Sisters’success. I wish our twolocal gals all the luck inthe world.

San Joaquin Community Hospi-tal’s Maternity Care Center hasbeen selected to participate inBest Fed Beginnings, a first-of-its-kind national effort to sig-
nificantly improve breastfeeding ratesin states where rates are currently thelowest.
Although breastfeeding is one of themost effective preventive health meas-ures for infants and mothers, half ofUS born babies are given formulawithin the first week, and by ninemonths, only 31 percent of babies arebreastfeeding at all. Best Fed Begin-nings seeks to reverse these trends bydramatically increasing the number ofUS hospitals implementing a provenmodel for maternity services that bet-ter supports a new mother’s choice tobreastfeed.
The National Initiative for Children’sHealthcare Quality (NICHQ) is leadingthe effort through a cooperative fund-ing agreement with the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention (CDC),and will be working closely withBabyFriendly USA, Inc.
“SJCH is honored to have been cho-sen to participate in this importanteffort and to have the opportunity toimprove our maternity care services tobetter support breastfeeding,” saidDebbie Hankins, SJCH’s vice presi-dent of nursing and chief nursing offi-
cer. “We recognize that for womenwho plan to breastfeed, the hospitalexperience strongly influences a moth-er’s ability to start and continuebreastfeeding.”
In addition to SJCH, 89 other hospi-tals are participating in this initiativeand were selected from 235 applicants.The groups will work together in a 22-month learning collaborative, usingproven quality improvement methodsto transform their maternity care serv-ices in pursuit of “Baby-Friendly” des-ignation. This designation verifies thata hospital has comprehensively imple-mented the American Academy ofPediatrics-endorsed Ten Steps to Suc-cessful Breastfeeding, as established inthe WHO/UNICEF Baby-Friendly Hos-pital Initiative.
Breastfeeding rates are higher anddisparities in these rates are virtuallyeliminated in hospitals that achievethis status.
Breastfeeding has multiple healthbenefits for both infants and mothers.For infants, it decreases the incidenceand severity of many infectious dis-eases, reduces infant mortality, andoptimally supports neurodevelopment.It also decreases infants’ risk ofbecoming obese later in childhood. Formothers, breastfeeding decreases therisks of breast and ovarian cancers,diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and car-diovascular disease.

Are your petunias and geraniums losing their flowers? If so, the culprit isprobably Bud Worms. These little creeps eat the petals out of the budsbefore they open. Spray once a week for three weeks with a productsuch as Liquid Seven or BT — both are good products to use to kill theseworms.
Each time you notice little butterflies or moths — you know the worms are onthe way and it's time to get to work!
This week’s gardening tip is from Kathy Robinson of Robby’s Nursery.
