Volunteer with the Back to School Project Over the past 10 years, the Back to School Project has provided local children a shopping day to purchase new clothing, shoes and backpacks in preparation for the new school-year. Each child is partnered with a volunteer shopper to help keep track of money spent, help with clothing selections and show the child that our community cares for them. The Back to School Project is seeking caring volunteers to partner with them to accomplish these goals. The project will be hosting two volunteer orientations at Job Training Center, 718 Main St. Red Bluff 35 p.m. Sunday July 28 and 6-8 p.m. Wednesday July 31.

If so, landscape lighting could create a night time garden into a fairy land and a special treat for friends. I speak from experience. Several years ago, landscape lighting was installed in my back yard and it became my favorite place to be in the evening. Later, lighting was also added in the trees in the front yard which is both beautiful and defines the driving area. Low-voltage landscape lighting is a simple improvement that can make a huge difference in how your home looks after dusk and in its safety and security as well. I enjoy my lighted areas so much, I decided I needed to share. Below are the basics of what are needed to do this yourself and where to obtain supplies locally. Also included are two businesses that advertise that they install the landscape lighting systems. There's no limit to the effects that can be achieved, from simple lights Installed along walkways, steps, and driveways to ethereal moonlights beamed down from a tree canopy to a subtle glow that washes over a special plant or low garden wall. Most landscape lighting today is low voltage, and with good reason. Unlike 120-volt systems, it's safer to work with and less costly to install. Low-voltage lights receive one-tenth the power, thanks to a step-down transformer. The typical low-voltage lighting system requires just three components: a step down transformer, a low-voltage electrical cable, and the fixtures. The transformer steps down the 120-volt house current to just 12 volts. Plan where you want the lighting. Remember there is an artistry to placement. Experiment with the placement before putting the wires and lights in the ground.

More than just picking the right hardware, a pleasing lighting scheme is about the artistry in the garden. In Red Bluff the low 12 voltage light (20 watt) can be obtained from Home Depot. The 'step down' transformer and timer combination (120 volt AC to 12 volt DC) can be purchased at True Value Hardware. If you are planing to do this your self the "This Old House" website on the internet has very detailed how to instructions. If you prefer not to do the work yourself, two business that advertise they install the systems are Able Plumbing and Electrical in Chico and Natures Plan in Redding. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The next meeting will be held on August 27 at One p.m. at 12889 Baker Road in Red Bluff. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with National Garden Clubs Inc., California Garden Clubs Inc., Pacific Region and Cascade District. Westside Grange alive and well The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, also called the Grange, is together for common economic and political well-being. The Grange was founded in 1867 after the Civil War and served as a center for farming communities. The Grange was an effective advocacy group for farmers and their agendas, including fighting railroad monopolies and advocating rural mail deliveries. In 2005 the Grange had a membership of 300,000 with organizations in 3,600 communities in 37 states. Although the Grange was originally founded to serve farmers interests, because of the shrinking farm population the Grange has began to broaden its range of issues and anyone is welcome to join. Red Bluff's Westside Grange has a great history. In 1932 two Granges started in the Corning area. One was the Independent School Grange because members met at the Johnston School. Forty-three people signed the first role call and this Grange moved to Red Bluff to become the Westside Grange #473 and is still active. The Westside Grange building is historically rich. When Tehama County built a new hospital in 1887, one of the hospital's buildings was offered to the members of the Westside Grange. The building was used for the men returning from World War II. This building was moved further west on Walnut to its present location at 20794 Walnut. In April 1949, a new Grange Hall addition was poured on the side of the building to be used as a dining room, kitchen, and small nursery. The Westside Grange was reorganized November 2008 after several decades of continuous use.

Boucher Says Men Who Ran Into Him Had Been Drinking J. P. Boucher, a farmer of the Dairyville district, reported to the sheriff's office today that an automobile crashed into his machine from the rear while he was enroute to Red Bluff, about five miles southeast of here. Both cars were coming north, and Boucher declared there was absolutely no excuse for the accident, as there was not another auto in sight at the time. Three men were in the other machine and all were intoxicated, Boucher said. — July 25, 1923 bers joined for all the same reasons past Grange members joined: to be a part of the farming community, to share information and encourage advocacy involving farmer's concerns with crops, livestock, water rights. Federal and State farm legislation and access to the Grange Insurance Group. Besides these reasons for joining Westside Grange, members desire to give back to their community by offering scholarships to local high school students involved with agriculture and to keep the historic Grange building open for community activities. The Grange rents the building for all occasions. One of the most important renters is the Wednesday evening Senior Dance group. This dance offers an alcohol free social environment for visiting and dancing to excellent western and rock 'n roll music. The dance is from 7-10 pm with a potluck dinner at 8:30 pm. During the dinner break, there are drawings for free dance tickets and cash prizes. For information about joining the Grange, renting the Grange Hall or the Senior Dance contact June Cooper at 530527-6214.
