JOB TRAINING CENTER Donations sought for repurposing project Recent storms have in- creased water levels at Shasta Lake 47 feet greater than last year, brightening the outlook for boating in 2015. "Last year, we had only three launch ramps open," said Kevin Turner, general manager of the Shasta Recreation Co. "We now have five open, and we're only eight feet away from opening all the No. 1 ramps at Shasta Lake other than Bailey's Cove." Turner says visitors to his office are often sur- prised to hear how much Shasta Lake has risen. "They haven't seen as much rain as in previous years, so they figure the lake must still be down as much as it was last year, but recent storms have changed that," he said. "If things keep going as they are, this should be a good year for boating, house- boating and fishing at Shasta Lake." Lake levels can be viewed at www.usbr.gov/ mp/cvo/vungvari/daily. pdf.

District board selects officers for the year By Shirley Felder Do you ever have a mo- ment when a memory from the past flits through your mind? Not too long ago that happened when my oldest son asked me if I remembered a small bush that his grandmother grew that had wonder- ful tasting yellow ber- ries on it that he loved to eat. My mind immediately went back 54 years to a little 5-year-old boy pick- ing and eating the ground cherries that my mother had in her garden when she lived in Corning out by the river in the Squaw Hill area. I hadn't thought of those plants in years. As a matter of fact, I haven't even seen them since then. Does anyone grow them now? A little research was in order. Ground cherries (phy- salis peruvians) are a bite size fruit growing on a sprawling bushy plant 1- to 3 feet tall. They have a combination taste of va- nilla, grapes, strawberries, pineapple and tomatoes. Has your interest been piqued? Well good, be- cause this intriguing fruit can definitely be grown in our area, and is perfect for the grazing gardener. They are a native of Brazil . The Aztecs called them tomatl (source for the word tomato and toma- tillo). In Hawaii they are called Poha. They seem to be the forgotten fruit. My husband made the remark that he had never seen nor heard of ground cherries. They are closely related to the nightshade family of tomatoes and tomatillos. The seeds can be started in late March inside and the seedlings transplanted in mid spring outside to the garden in full sun. They also do well in a container. They thrive in heat. Plant at least two plants as they need to fertilize each other. The fruit grows in protec- tive husks which keep birds and bugs at bay. One of the most popular plants now is a Polish variety called Aunt Molly's. When it comes time to harvest, the hanging green husks will turn a light tan color and when fully ripe the light papery husks will fall on the ground. Inside is the delicious seedy yellow fruit. It can be eaten fresh, tossed whole in a salad or used in pies and jams. I do remember my mother mak- ing jam from her ground cherries. But what could one expect, she also pickled the rinds from watermel- ons as she wasted nothing, but that is another story. I often wondered where she got the time. With the husks left on, the ground cherries can be kept in a bowl on the counter for a few days. If peeled of their husk, they can be kept in the refriger- ator for a couple of weeks. This trip down memory lane made me wonder why this ancient fruit is not commonly grown and in the stores. It could be be- cause they are not suited to mechanical harvesting. Whatever the reason, the cherished memory of a lit- tle boy long ago on a hot summer's day eating and enjoying the sweet ground cherry is indelibly printed in my mind.
