The View From Here
Round Table Pizza comes to Sanger
I have a Carolina Dog, his name is Bam. He’s about 6 years old. Bam is a
somewhat timid and shy dog.
His
temperament is standard for his breed; shy awk- ward and friendly.
He's extremely smart, though. He loves to play fetch. He’s rarely ag- gressive only barks at the mailman whom he can hear on the other side of the fence, other than that he can make friends with anyone.
On Saturday, the tem- perature was going to pass 105 degrees. We de- cided it would be a good idea to take Bam to the Kings River.
The water is cool, and we figured it would be good for him to spend some time in the water before the day became uncomfortable and hot.
We arrived on the riv- er about 10 a.m. and im- mediately Bam jumped into the river. He abso- lutely loved it.
There is a portion of the river where the water is shallow enough for us to walk along side Bam while he swam. When we first put Bam in the water he was terrified of it.
A few times later he was well accustomed to it, and I could tell the cool water was a relief from the hot sun.
One thing I did notice is even when the river is only knee high, the cur- rent is still moving quite fast. If I hadn’t kept my balance it could have eas- ily knocked me over.
it's a reminder of the river’s deception. It can look calm from a distance but a closer look reveals, how fast the water is ac- tually moving. Although Bam did great for his first “official swim” of the summer we decided to buy him a life jacket for our next visit just to keep him safe. There are a few weeks left of sum- mer. The river is usually the spot to be on hot sum- mer days. So far every- thing this year has been good. No major accidents or drownings to report on thankfully. Let's hope it stays that way until the season is over.
Be safe everyone.

The new Round Table Pizza opened at the end of June. Owner, Paul Gill said many of their ingredients like their dough and sauces are made fresh daily.
come and try and and give us a shot.”
Round Table is located in the Walmart parking lot on Bethel Avenue where Jamba Juice used to be, and Jamba Juice has since moved to 614 Academy Ave.
“Basically at our Sanger location everything is deliv- ery and takeout,” he said. “We do have five tables inside and about three to four tables on the patio outside.”
Gill said Round Table is normally a large “sit down” pizzeria but the Sanger loca- tion is much smaller and said one of their most popular items is their King Arthur pizza.
“Our response has been amazing the first few weeks we did very well and now we’re settling down to where we thought we would be,” he said.
“That is one of our better selling pizzas, we can make pretty much any type of piz- za but to me that’s the most popular, we have pepperoni, double pepperoni, we also have amazing air fryer wings we have great bread sticks.”
Gill said they also make salads but their pizzas are all the most popular.
“We roll our our dough fresh every day, we make our sauce fresh every day, very high quality pizza.”
They are open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Garden Checklist: Reduce fertilizer when water source is limited

Sanger’s new Round Table Pizza is now open for busi- ness and franchise owner, Paul Gill said they are look- ing forward to providing great food while making con- nections with the community.
“I understand this town, I come from a farming family, and we are here to offer our great food to the community and I want them to know we are invested in the Sanger community,” Gills said. “I would like for everyone to

Tasks for this time of year include checking sprinklers and adjust them weekly if necessary.
Pre-irrigate to soften the ground for tilling in prepara- tion for fall gardens. When the lawn needs mowing, mow cool-season grasses, such as tall fescue, to 3 inches and bermudagrass to 1 inch. Mowing shorter than these levels will encourage weeds and a shallow, less drought tolerant root structure. Re- member to prune apricot, ole- ander and olive trees during dry weather to reduce future disease problems.
Cut back on fertilizer when water is limited and landscape plants remain in drought survival mode.
Avoid planting annuals
and perennials unless it is absolutely necessary.
A few winter vegetables may be planted from seed.
Fire blight infections are best pruned out in winter when the disease is not ac- tive. However, i he infection is spreading rapidly, prune out the infected growth as soon as it appears.
Drought tip: Preserve the largest climate appropriate plants in the landscape. Ma- ture trees and large shrubs may take many years or even decades to replace, while groundcovers, lawns, flower beds and vegetable gardens can be re-established in a sea- son or two.
