Give Them an Inch
It’s bad enough that we have to fight weeds or deal with unsuitable plants that we inherited when we bought our properties. It’s worse if you are the one who innocently planted something that has turned into a monster. Plants that are described as “vigorous” may be ready to take over your yard. Some grow too big, too fast. Others have roots that spread aggressively. Still others spread by seed.
I don’t really consider plants “invasive” that are easy to remove. California poppies, sweet peas and other plants that self-seed can be readily pulled out if they pop up in unwanted places.
Movin’ To The Music
Dolly Rizzo, Los Angeles-born and a Sacramento resident for 20 years, danced on TV’s “Soul Train” in 1983–84. “It was a party, a long one, since we filmed all weekend long,” she says.
In ways big and small, that experience of rehearsal and live filming prepared her to create Soul Strength Dance, a dynamic class she teaches at the Sacramento Central branch of the YMCA. Rizzo has taught up to three classes a week, while working as an administrative coordinator at the YMCA’s Midtown site.
