Thursday, September 19, 2013 – Daily News 3A Community people&events No Butts Left Behind drive Tehama County Health Partnership is asking the community to help young children and families in our county by donating diapers. Diaper need is a silent crisis in the county. Diapers are a basic need for children. They are as essential to their health and well-being as food, shelter and a parent's love. Here's a few diapering facts: 1. A full-time diapered baby averages 5,000-8,000 diaper changes before the completion of potty training. 2. Diapers can cost up to $150 per month per baby. 3. Nearly 1 in 3 families in America struggle to afford diapers for their children. 4. Many families unable to afford diapers are forced to choose between diapers and cutting back on basics such as food and utilities. Wearing a soiled diaper longer than appropriate frequently leads to a diaper rash, and may cause staph infections and urinary infections which can jeopardize the baby's health. 5. A lack of access to a reliable source of clean diapers greatly impacts our community. • It can have many detrimental outcomes for children and families' health, economic, emotional well-being and educational opportunities. If you can't afford adequate diapers for your child, and they wear a soiled diaper longer than appropriate, that child runs the risk of diaper rash or urinary tract infections which can jeopardize the baby's health. • If you can't buy enough diapers, you can't put your child in a child care center, where disposable diapers are regulation. • If you can't put your child into a child care center, your choices for work or school are severely limited. • For families, a baby crying because of a wet diaper that cannot be changed adds to the stress on parents struggling to make ends meet. Drop off locations for the drive include 1488 South St. in Corning, 824-4111 or 824-7670; 7700 Stanford Ave. in Los Molinos, 384-7833 and First 5 Tehama, 322 Pines St., Ste H in Red Bluff, 528-1395 90 years ago... Bootleggers plead guilty; one admits he dislikes judge A sharp exchange of words between the court and prisoner marked the arraignment before Justice of the Peace E. F. Lennnon yesterday afternoon of Fritz Siegel, 77, an old time cook of this city, on a charge of bootlegging. Siegel declared he wanted another judge to hear his case and made no attempt to conceal his dislike for Lennon. "As far as I am personally concerned," the court said, "I would be glad if it were possible for you to have another judge." — Sept. 19, 1923 DAILY NEWS RED BLUFF TEHAMA COUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 127, NUMBER 135 HOW TO REACH US On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: NEWS Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. News Tip Hotline: 527-2153 FAX: (530) 527-9251 E-mail: clerk@redbluffdailynews.com Daytime: (530) 527-2151 Sports: Ext. 111 Death Notices: Ext. 115 Tours: Ext. 112 After hours: (530) 527-2153 ______________________ ADVERTISING Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area 800-479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

It was great opportunity to see and judge Tuberous Begonias, Fuchsias, and Dahlias. The first two of which we don't grow too successfully over here. But yes, we do manage dahlias and here are some Dahlia facts. The dahlia is the national flower of Mexico. Modern hybrids can be traced back to the mountain regions of Mexico and Guatemala. Although named after the Swedish botanist, Anders Dahl, it was the Dutch who developed and hybridized dahlia tubers into what they are today. Dahlias provide color and beauty in abundance and are available in an amazing variety of color, size, and form — Singles, Formal and Informal Decorative, Peony form, Ball, Pompom, Collarette, Fimbriate (almost fuzzy), and Cactus. Dwarf varieties grow only 12 inches tall with 1-inch flowers, while some full-sized dahlias can reach 6 feet with 12-inch flowers! Dahlias do take some maintenance. In most cases dahlias are grown from tuberous roots, which take a year or more to develop and add to their purchase price. Look for firm tubers early in the season. Dahlias should be planted in an airy, sunny place protected from high winds. They do best in fertile (enriched with organic matter) welldrained garden soil. In the spring plant larger tubers about two weeks before danger of frost is past. Or set out smaller tuberous roots outdoors after the last frost. Plant tubers in a 1-ft. deep hole incorporating 1⁄4 cup low-nitrogen fertilizer. Cover with 3-4 inches of soil, and then add more soil as the plant grows. Pinch to when they are about 6 inches above the final soil level leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest shoots. Stake— especially in our windy valley. Water regularly—deeply and mulch to keep down weeds. In cold-winter areas, dahlia tubers will freeze. In late fall, after the tops have died down or frosted black, cut off the tops at about six inches above the soil and then carefully dig the tubers. Gently wash off the soil, dry, label, and store. Trim off the smallest roots and dust with sulfur powder or other fungicide to help reduce rotting. They should be treated like potatoes; stored in a dark bin in a cool place for the winter. In our warmer clime this only needs to be done every 3-4 years when the tubers need divided—like irises. If left in the ground over winter—mulch with straw. I hope to see some of these beauties at the Tehama Fair later this month.

Car seats inspections Saturday Tehama County Public Health, in collaboration with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), urges parents and caregivers to have their children's car seats checked on National Seat Check Saturday on 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 21. As part of Child Passenger Safety Week, (September 16-21), certified child passenger safety technicians will be available to inspect car seats and provide free hands-on advice at the WalMart parking lot in Red Bluff. The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently released updated car seat recommendations for children through age 12. The updated recommendations emphasize how important it is to keep children rear facing for as long as possible before moving them to the next type of seat. Phillip Mackintosh, Public Information Officer at the Red Bluff CHP says, "We want to help you do all you can to best protect your child when traveling. During Child Passenger Safety Week, we urge all parents and caregivers to have your car seat checked by a certified technician. When it comes to the safety of your child, there is no room for mistakes." In motor vehicle crashes, car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71 percent for children younger than 1 and by 54 percent for children 1 to 4 in passenger cars, according to data collected by NHTSA. Child restraint systems are often used incorrectly. One study from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that 72% of nearly 3,500 observed car and booster seats were misused in a way that could be expected to increase a child's risk of injury during a crash. For maximum child passenger safety, parents and caregivers should visit their local inspection station to ensure their children's car seats are used properly. Remember: • Select a car seat based on your child's age, size, and behavior. • Choose a seat that fits in your vehicle and use it every time. • Always refer to your specific car seat manufacturer's instructions. Read the vehicle owner's manual on how to install the car seat using the seat belt or latch system and check height/ weight limits. • To maximize safety, keep your child in the car seat for as long as possible, as long as the child fits within the manufacturer's height and weight requirements. • All children under 8 years old and under 4'9" must use a car seat or booster. Keep your child in the back seat at least through age 12. For more information, contact: Tehama County Public Health (530) 5276824.
