By Jim Wilson Spring is here again. The robins are frolicking, the hummingbirds are feasting en masse and the finches are making a mess. The blooms are out and the trees are leaf - ing. I think they know that winter rakes are put away and they can't wait to shed again. It's time for the "Hon - eeeeeey" cries which sig- nal "must do" projects. The water system needs work and it's easy to locate the sprinklers because they are under the biggest leafed plants. This means raising them up or moving them to be efficient. Isn't it amazing how in a jungle, I, er, mean garden design, all utility is forgotten? No space, no walkways and sprinklers rendered ineffective. In any project public or private, utility and main - tenance should be fore- most and designed into the project at the onset so that beauty can be preserved right along with the func - tions necessary to preserve that beauty. Design in walk- ways, space, and room for sprinkler operation. Don't force yourself to use a ma- chete to take care of your garden. Have a design be- fore you go to the nursery to pre- vent emotional buy- ing which usually winds up with 10- foot dwarf trees or small flowering fore - ground shrubs that wind up pushing on the house or those beauti- ful invasive plants that you work all winter to take out. Think ahead, save a hus- band Mark your calendars.

By Jennifer Cooper Social Security manager in Red- ding The World Health Or- ganization held the first World Health Assembly in 1948, and, beginning in 1950, every year on April 7 the world comes together to observe World Health Day. Each year, World Health Day focuses on a particular subject of interest to global health. At Social Security, we fo - cus on people's health every day. Specifically, we provide benefits for people with dis- abilities. To help expedite the disability process, we recently announced the ad- dition of 25 new Compas- sionate Allowances condi- tions. These new conditions include twelve cancers, such as prostate cancer, as well as disorders that affect the digestive, neurological, im - mune, and multiple body systems. The Compassionate Al- lowances program expe- dites disability decisions for Americans with the most se- rious disabilities to ensure that they receive their ben- efit decisions within days in- stead of months. By incorpo- rating cutting-edge technol- ogy, the agency can identify potential Compassionate Al- lowances and quickly make decisions. To date, we have approved almost 200,000 people with severe disabil - ities through this fast-track disability process. "We are dedicated to pro- viding vulnerable Ameri- cans with faster access to disability benefits through our Compassionate Allow- ances program," Acting Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin said recently. "So- cial Security disability ben- efits are a vital lifeline for in- dividuals who are facing se- vere diseases and we must ensure that they receive the benefits they rightly de- serve." While Social Security joins individuals, groups and organizations around the globe to observe World Health Day on April 7, we work all year round to help Americans with health is - sues live a healthier life. In addition to cash bene- fits, beneficiaries obtain Medicare coverage after 24 months, a vital element in preserving an individual's health and, in the long run, world health.
