A good samaritan jumped in and attempt- ed to save her and two other children who had been swept away by the fast moving current. The man was later iden- tified as Manjeet Singh, 29. Sadly, Manjeet and the young girl, Saman- tha, both died in the river that day.
From what I remem- ber, Manjeet’s body was found nearly one hour after he went under the water over by the boat dock where I was stand- ing. Thesadnessa

car and headed across the street to Reedley Beach.
There were a num- ber of children playing in the water. Just like Samantha had been one year ago.
My only hope for this summer season is that parents / guardians take every precaution they need to protect their young swimmers.
Keep life jackets on children when they're near or on the water. And, adults, remember the water is a lot faster and more deceiving than it looks. Be careful, even the most advanced swimmers can fall vic- tim to its current.

The Garden Check- list is filled with tips and tricks for local garden- ers who wish to keep their greenery, flowers, and herbs looking beau- tiful all year long.
Native plants have the ability to survive in the worst of times and thrive during the good times. They require less care, less water and can make spectacular flow- er displays.
Tasks for this time of year include using Ba- cillus thuringiensis(Bt) to control petunia bud
worms and tomato horn worms. Watch for pests and treat if necessary.
Be sure lawns are getting enough wa- ter. Consider moving a plant if it does not thrive where it is planted.
Prune apricot, ole- ander and olive trees at least six weeks before the onset of fall rains, to minimize fungus infec- tion of pruning wounds.
Fertilize almond, ap- ple, peach and nectarine trees. Resist the tempta- tion to plant more plants in the garden as they are not likely survive the summer heat. A few
winter vegetables may be planted from seed this month. Consult the California Garden Web for more information.
Now is the time to en- joy annuals and perenni- als: sunflower (Helian- thus), strawflower (He- lichrysum), impatiens, annual mallow (La- vatera). Bulbs, corms, tubers: gayfeather (Lia- tris), lily (Lilium asiatic hybrid). Trees, shrubs, vines: California wild lilac (Ceanothus), crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia).
Fruits and vegeta- bles: nectarine, okra, peach, pepper.
Things to Ponder and keep in mind. Check ir- rigation timers for com-
pliance with the current watering schedule. Re- place broken, leaking or misaligned sprinklers to eliminate overspray on- to sidewalks and drive- ways.
