COURTESYPHOTO Members of the Agricultural Preservation and Environmental Conservation Sportsmen Foundation will promote the benefits of an outdoor lifestyle. A forward-thinking group of conservationists in northern California has created the Agricultural Preservation and Envi- ronmental Conservation Sportsmen Foundation to rise up and promote the benefits of an outdoor life- style built on American tra- ditions, with a focus on the need to preserve that leg- acy and pass it on to future generations. The foundation is a 501c3 non-profit that focuses on education and outreach to preserve traditions of ag- riculture and the outdoors. APECS will have its first fundraiser in Red Bluff at 5 p.m. Saturday, June 7 at the Red Bluff Community Cen- ter, 1500 S. Jackson St. Tickets are $100 each or $150 per couple and include dinner and an auction. Seat- ing is limited. The foundation not only promotes an outdoor life- style founded in hunting, fishing and wildlife man- agement, but also realizes that agriculture and farm- ing traditions are just as critical to promote and pre- serve for the future, it said in a release. Co-founder and Develop- ment Chairman Rick Bull- och is a longtime supporter and advocate of outdoor heritage. "APECS provides an ex- citing new element to pro- moting our outdoor heri- tage by adding agriculture into the mix," Bulloch said. "Partnering with agri- cultural doesn't take away from our outdoor message, but adds to it. The time is right for these like-minded and natural partners in re- source utilization and con- servation to align closely." Jenifer Adams, one of APECS's founding board members, is an Adin na- tive, co-owner of Girls with Guns Clothing in Red Bluff, and co-star of Universal Huntress TV. She brings a unique perspective to APECS, and is excited to promote the value of con- servation and outdoor her- itage to the youth. "There is not enough emphasis on educating the younger generations on the benefits of an outdoor life- style," Adams said. "I have personally seen the excitement and the growth that kids experi- ence when they are given the opportunity to connect with the outdoors." Adams also looks for- ward to APECS reach- ing out to hunting's fastest growing demographic — fel- low female hunters. For event and sponsor- ship details, call Bulloch at 916 606-7039.

Commencement exercises to mark graduation of the 1924 class will be held Fri- day evening, June 13, at the high school auditorium. —May29,1924 90 YEARS AGO... 45 seniors in local high to get diplomas By Kathy Bramhall My niece and I each re- ceived an azalea for Moth- er's Day. Rosalie's is a pure white and mine is a baby pink with red spots on the throat. Now I'm doing some serious research on aza- lea culture, as the ones I've planted in the past have all succumbed, mostly due to my ignorance of azalea's needs. Sunset lumps azaleas with rhododendrons, but says "the climate adapta- tion of azaleas, however, differs greatly from that of rhododendrons" depend- ing on the hybrid or spe- cies. Problem here; these store bought azaleas came with no names — just aza- lea. So hopefully these will adapt to our Red Bluff cli- mate. We are going to plant them in 5-gallon planters outside and follow these in- structions. The best time of year to plant azaleas is spring or early fall on the north or east side of buildings or preferable under tall trees where they get filtered light, they will not tolerate our hot afternoon sun. Aza- leas are not easily trans- planted as their roots are shallow and fragile. Aza- leas must be planted in well-drained acidic (pH 4.5- 6) soil, enhanced with or- ganic matter. Plant shal- lowly, leaving the very top of the root ball showing. Mulch them with pine nee- dles or oak leaf mold 1-2 inches deep. The mulch must be kept an inch or so away from the trunk to pre- vent rot. Renew mulch sev- eral times a year as it pro- tects and feeds the azaleas. Water azaleas regularly. Overhead water with sprin- klers is good as it adds hu- midity and washes leaves. Never let azaleas dry out. Keep them damp, but not soggy. Do not fertilize azaleas before blooming, or if you must fertilize at all, do it after bloom. Prune after bloom also. Cut away the dead or injured branches and straggly branches to keep in shape. Azaleas are mostly disease and pest- free, if planted in the right conditions. Flower buds set in cool weather. Locally, indoor azaleas must be moved out- side in fall so they can get at least a couple of weeks of cool— less than 50 degrees but not freezing — temper- atures. There are hundreds of azalea hybrids; in red, salmon and white, and all shades of pink and pur- ple. Some are bi-colors and some have spotted throats. Azaleas come as both ever- green and deciduous. Most of the evergreen azaleas are from China or Japan. There are 16 species of de- ciduous azaleas native to America. If their needs are met, azaleas are long lived, tidy shrubs and generous bloomers. We're looking forward to years of beauti- ful azaleas. Come join us at Red Bluff Garden Club, meetings are at 1 p.m. the last Thursday of each month except July and December, at the Union Hall on Baker Road. Plan to participate in the Tehama District Fair in September, we are planning a new and bigger Flower Show. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with National Gar- den Clubs, Inc., California Garden Clubs, Inc., the Pa- cific Region of Garden Clubs, and the Cascade District of Garden Clubs.

MINERAL Aswarmweather ushers in more visitors to Lassen Volcanic National Park, work is wrapping up on the Northwest Gateway Forest Restoration Project. "This project has been incredibly successful in re- ducing fuel loads and re- storing health to the for- est surrounding Manzanita Lake," said Superintendent Darlene Koontz. "We hope to utilize mechanical thin- ning in other developed ar- eas of the park in the future, the goal of which is to rees- tablish the forest landscape by restoring a more resilient, diverse forest structure. We thank our visitors for their support and understanding as we finish this beneficial project." The contractor has begun the demobilization process and will work through Fri- day. Demobilization will con- tinue on Wednesday June 4 with an anticipated close out of the project on Thursday June 5. Be aware of trucks moving through the Manza- nita Lake area and always maintain a safe distance be- tween yourself and the heavy equipment. Loops A, B and C in the Manzanita Lake camp- ground are now open for the season. The boat ramp and camper store are open for the season as well. Loop D will close May 27-June 5 due to the close proximity of heavy equipment working in the area. The Manzanita Creek Trail heading out of Loop D remains closed to the public through June 5. Visitors in the Manza- nita Lake area may see and hear the contractor working in the area, stay a safe dis- tance from all work being conducted.
