PoliceLogs The Baptist Ladies Aid gave a chicken pattie din- ner at the parsonage Thurs- day from 3-7:30, which was largely attended by not only members of the denomina- tion but friends from other congregations in the city. The meal was sumptuous, and the aid earned a neat sum to be applied to the church fund, for which the ladies have labored so faith- fully. — April 27, 1917 100 YEARS AGO... Baptistladiesdinnersuccess By Bobie Hughes Have you ever thought about having a garden that required little to no summer watering? I grew up in the Bay Area where you always had to wa- ter, at least occasionally in the summer time. The summer fog would help provide some moisture to the leaves of plants, but did not help the roots get any water. So the sprin- klers would go on, usually too high so that the water would run down the gut- ter — wasting a lot of wa- ter. Those were the days. Then I moved to Red Bluff where there was no way to avoid watering in the summer time. A three digit day time tempera- ture and no moisture in the air—not to mention night time temperatures that were the same as day time highs in the Bay Area. Life was really go- ing to be different. Fast forward a few — okay more than a few years — and you are deal- ing with a drought. Wa- tering can only be done on certain days for lim- ited amounts of time and in some locations you can be fined for letting water run down the gutters. How do you have a gar- den? Is that lawn neces- sary? We now know some of the answers and they are not all bad. A green front yard can be accomplished by plant- ing some of the California native grasses that were growing in this area, be- fore white man arrived in California. Some that have become popular are June grass (Koeleria macran- tha), Foothill needlegrass (Nasssella lepida) and nu- merous others. Some do well in shade while others can handle the hot sun. To accompany the grasses there are a series of plants that can, not only survive our hot summers, but also do best with no summertime water. These can provide beauty and interest on your property while keeping your water bill to a minimum. To see the demonstra- tion garden containing these plants and grasses visit the Sacramento River Discovery Center's gar- den in the Mendocino Na- tional Forest's Red Bluff Recreation Area at 1000 Sale Lane. The garden is open to the public 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. To arrange a spe- cial garden tour, write to bhughessrdc@gmail. com or call 527-1196. Center hours of opera- tion are 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sat- urday.

A garden with little to n o su mm er w at er Peoplewhohavenotexpe- rienced the effects of Parkin- son'sDiseasetendtothinkof it as something that makes a person shake and noth- ing more. There's far more to battling this illness than meets the eye. Overtime,thepersonwith Parkinson's disease may lose thestrengthintheirmuscles and their tendons become shortened. This can result in pain which may limit daily functions to such an extent that it becomes necessary to have an assistant. Many persons who have Parkinson's cannot move as fast as they once did. Oth- ers experience trembling in their extremities so that it is difficult to bring the eat- ing utensil to their mouths. Somelosethevolumeintheir voice and others have diffi- culty pronouncing words. There are persons who suf- fer several or all of the afore mentioned difficulties. However, there is encour- aging news for those who have received the diagno- sis of Parkinson's. A person with this disease can pro- tect their voice, their ability to form pronunciations and their communications skills. They can protect their mus- cle mass and tendons and improve the comfort of ev- ery-day living. What's more the protection of or restora- tion of these functions does not cost a lot of money. In fact, once you know the se- cretyoucanpracticeitinthe comfort of your home. Parkinson's disease af- fects the automatic system — things you do without giv- ing much thought, like walk- ing or speaking. However, it doesnotaffecttheareaofin- tentional movement, which controls walking and speak- ing. The results are that per- sonswithParkinson'scando the same activities they once did automatically; they sim- ply do them intentionally now. It means those with Par- kinson's can speak loudly enough and clearly enough to be understood and can continue to walk, interact with others and be part of our community and family interactions, as long as they do it with intent. Parkinson's Disease voice project is an organization that has spread across the countryteachingpeoplehow to speak with intent. The non-for-profit association gives a free speech therapy book to each person with Parkinson's who is working with a speech therapist that is trained in the Voice Proj- ect. It is in Texas and can be contacted by calling (469) 375-6500. California State Univer- sity, Chico has a speech therapy group that uses the same material. It be reached at 898-5871 or http://www. csuchico.edu/cmsd/center. shtml. Kinds of exercise recom- mended for persons with Parkinson's Disease include, bicycling, boxing, yoga, walking and tai chi. "First, we know that reg- ular exercise has benefits in general," said Lisa Shulman, MDina2011report."Itslows down cognitive decline, helps to prevent bone loss, and is good for pulmonary and cardiovascular health." Second, there are disease- specific benefits for people with Parkinson's. Their mo- tor symptoms improve, and there is hope that cognition may improve as well. We are looking into this as part of the ParkFit study. Addition- ally, inactive people sleep worse, are at a greater risk for osteoporosis, and may develop constipation. All of these symptoms are partic- ularly prevalent in Parkin- son's patients. Thereismoreinformation on these topics at www.pdf. org or www.michaeljfox.org. HEALTH There is hope for those with Parkinson's Disease If you're looking for a chance to meet a reindeer and a crocodile on the same day, Butte Environmental Council's 38th Annual En- dangered Species Faire is the place to be. There will be countless opportunities to learn about threatened and endangered species living in your own backyard. The Endangered Species Faire will be held 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 6 at the picnic area at One Mile Recreation Area. This is a free event for all ages. The event is a day dedi- cated to teaching about crit- ically threatened animals through hands on activities. There will be a live animal show featuring exotic en- dangered animals from all over the world. Local groups have been working around the clock to create hundreds of life like puppets for a pup- pet parade full of endan- gered species. There will be live music, local food and an eco-scavenger hunt. The theme of this year's Endangered Species Faire is "urban habitats." Urban for- ests, greenways, and creeks provide much needed ref- uge for species that need it most. For more information, visit www.becnet.org/events or call 891-6424.
