DAILY NEWS RED BLUFF TEHAMA COUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 128, NUMBER 79 HOW TO REACH US On the Web: Inspect garden for helpful insects By SHARON KESSEY Most of the insects that show up in our gardens are helpful to the health of our plants. Either they kill and eat pests that damage our plants or they help the plants reproduce by pollinating them. So it's important to know what each insect is before killing it by stomping or spraying. Here are some of the helpful insects and how they eliminate unwanted pests. Flying beetles such as ladybugs and leathery-looking soldier beetles feed on aphids, scale, thrips, spider mites, and mealy bugs. Lacewing larvae eat aphids, leafhoppers, mealy bugs, mites, thrips, whiteflies, and other insects. (The adults feed on nectar, pollen, and honeydew). Ground beetles eat slugs, snails, cutworms, and root maggots. Dragonflies catch mosquitoes, flies, and midges in midair. Tiny (one-eighth-inch) pirate bugs feed on thrips, spider mites, and insect eggs. Parasitic wasps lay their eggs in the eggs of cutworms, codling moths, whiteflies, scale, and other pests, and as the young wasps hatch they feed on the pest eggs and young. Hover, or syrphid, flies hunt and eat aphids, mealy bugs, and other soft-bodied pests. Tachinid flies attack certain caterpillars and beetles. These are some of the insects that help keep pests in check and prevent the damage they might do to our garden plants. A large number of other insects help by pollinating plants. Any garden production of seeds or fruit depends on male pollen grains combining with the female ova (pollination), and many plants rely on some helper (insect, bird, wind, etc.) to move the pollen grains. Honeybees are some of the best pollinators and are used in many of our commercial fruit and nut orchards, but other bees, hover flies, flying beetles and any other insects that visit multiple flowers also do a good job. Knowing the identity of the many insects in the area (including their larval forms) and abetting the efforts of the beneficial ones can help control plant-damaging or otherwise harmful pests naturally, and can help increase our fruit and seed yields. So check an insect's ID before squashing or otherwise killing it, otherwise you may be helping all the pests it would have eaten survive. Garden Club members are gearing up for their upcoming flower show to be held at the Tehama County Fairgrounds on May 4 & 5. Lorna Bonham, garden club member and state wide acclaimed floral designer, will present a program on Floral Design and Table Settings. Everyone interested in entering the show, or just learning more about floral design, should not miss this program. Red Bluff Garden Club will meet the last Tuesday of the month, March 26, at 12889 Baker Road. Social begins at 12:30 pm and meeting and program at 1:00 pm, visitors are welcome. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with Cascade District Garden Club; California Garden Clubs, Inc.; Pacific Region Garden Clubs and National Garden Glubs, Inc. PAL promotes Lee to black belt On Thursday, March 7, Cameron Lee, a student of the PAL Martial Arts program for more than six years has finally achieved the grade of black belt 1st degree. It took him this long because he is also very active in his school chess teams, his academics, and several other activities throughout the year. His endurance and stamina are pretty good but his patience is outstanding! He works with all the younger students and is careful in his instructions to them In the photo with him are his mom (on our right) and his dad (behind his mom) and his younger brother Christopher, who is also on track to achieve his black belt very soon.

Ask Bids For Mineral Road To Be Built Sealed proposals for constructing the Mineral section of the Susanville-Red Bluff highway in Lassen national forest will be received at the federal bureau of public roads, 881 Mills building, San Francisco, until 2 o'clock in the afternoon of April 3, it was stated in a notice received by the Tehama county supervisors from C. H. Sweetser, district engineer in the U. S. department of agriculture. — March 14, 1923 Jerusalem is an astonishing play by British author Jez Butterworth and opens at the Shasta College Theater today. Directed by Robert Soffian, it is an epic play that was awarded best new play in Britain and won a Tony on Broadway. Jerusalem is an adult comedy and drama that tells the story of Rooster Byron — an English pied piper renegade who runs afoul of British locals. The play is wild, epic, poignant and melodic, mixing song, dance and INCOME TAX myth. With a set designed by David Fraser, Jerusalem is ripped from the pages of today and seems especially made for Redding audiences. The New York Times calls it "one of the most exciting new plays in ages." Dates are March 1423, at the Shasta College Theater. Jerusalem contains mature language and themes.
