2A Daily News – Thursday, May 16, 2013 Community people&events Leftover lilies By CATHY WILSON Every Easter I look forward to my son's traditional gift, an Easter lily plant wrapped in colorful foil. He worries that I will tire of them and my response is always "NEVER!" I carefully place it on my dining table where it becomes the center piece to be enjoyed for the holiday. Later it will be placed in my garden where I have created a pathway lined with past Easter lilies to be enjoyed for years to come. These beautifully fragrant trumpet-shaped blossoms symbolize purity, hope and life. They represent the promises of spring as well as the celebration of Easter. Easter liles (lillium longiforlum) are native to the southern islands of Japan. A World War I soldier named Louis Houghton is credited for U.S. Easter lily production when he brought home a suitcase full of lily bulbs with him to the southern coast of Oregon in 1919. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the rising price of bulbs created a viable business for him and others that he shared his bulbs with. Park cleanup Courtesy photo The Red Bluff Union High School class of 1972 did a community service project in which it made improvements to Tosh Field in Red Bluff during the weekend of April 13-14. Classmates gathered at Tosh Field and replaced a roof on one of the announcer booths, painted the announcer's booth, repaired both dugouts and weeded and cleaned the baseball diamond. Grateful to have been raised in Red Bluff, we were honored to be able to give back in this way 40 years after graduating. When selecting Easter lilies, buy ones that are just beginning to bloom or in full bud. They only flower for a few days, so selecting one about to open will allow you more time to enjoy the longest bloom in your home. After Easter when the blooms begin to die, remove the flowers and plant them in your garden. They like their heads in the sun and their roots in the shade. They prefer rich soil that is well drained. Normally the Easter lily blooms late spring to early July. Plant them along a path or close to an entry way where their fragrance can be best appreciated. Blood meal or bulb fertilizer can be applied around the base of the plant in the fall. Avoid disturbing the bulb while working in the fertil- Courtesy photo 4-H Beef members Stacy Stroing and Andrew Turri show at the Large Animal Breeding Show. The 2013 event will be June 22.

It is easy to do and you will be graced every year with their beauty and fragrance. They will not bloom at Easter but rather at their normal time which is in midsummer. 90 years ago... Bull Charges Eaton; Breaks His Right Arm Ex. Eaton, a young stockman of this county, had a narrow escape from serious injury today when a registered bull which he was trying to drive charged on him, breaking his right arm and bruising other parts of his body. He had just purchased the animal and was at the stockyards on Duncan Hill, in the outskirts of Red Bluff, when the trouble occurred. — May 16, 1923 To submit a tax-deductible donation mail to Back to School Project c/o Tehama Education Foundation, P.O.
