2A Daily News – Thursday, June 2, 2011 Community people&events Not Forgotten Perfect perennial even better By LORNA BONHAM Four years ago I wrote Courtesy photo Chad Bushnell of Red Bluff and Engineer Mark Moyer and Firefighter Lesleigh McLeod of Red Bluff Fire pose for a photo at Tues- day’s spaghetti fundraiser. Bushnell donated his time to perform songs at the dinner. All proceeds benefitted the Not Forgotten flag at the memorial on Pine and Main streets and the Memorial Flag flown for fallen firefighters and police officers. Special to the DN The Red Bluff Emblem Club and Elks Club com- bined efforts Tuesday to raise money for the Red Bluff Fire Department at a spaghetti feed at the Elks Lodge. “It went well,” said Linnea Fletcher, Emblem Club Americanism Chairwoman. “We couldn’t have done it without help from the Elks 1250 and we’re all working together.” The funds raised were donated for the upkeep of the Not Forgotten flag that sits at the corner of Main and Pine streets alongside the Not Forgotten memorial and the memorial flag that is flown for fallen firefighters and police officers. Early estimates are that between $500 and $600 was raised, Fletcher said. “We’re trying to bring the community back out to the lodge the way they used to years ago (with dances),” Fletcher said. “We’re working on doing more activities for the community.” The next upcoming activity is a rib cook-off, which is set for noon to 5 p.m. June 11 at the Red Bluff Elks Lodge, 355 Gilmore Road. There are tentative plans to have Red Bluff’s own Chad Bushnell, who donated his time to entertain at Tuesday’s fundraiser, perform, Fletcher said. The rib cook-off is open to the public and there will also be chances to taste test at the various booths. Judg- ing will be at 4 p.m. and dinner starts at 5 p.m. Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper. If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. the following paragraph in an article for the Red Buff Daily News: “The daylily, Hemerocallis, is the perfect perennial because it is available in a rainbow of colors and a variety of shapes and sizes. It is able to survive with very little care in a wide range of climates. Various soil and light con- ditions are acceptable and it's almost insect free, drought and deer resis- tant.” All of that is still true but new daylilies are even better. Most of the old daylilies only bloomed from late May through early July. Now, if a reblooming or extended bloom daylily is pur- chased, some will bloom in the spring and then repeat in the fall. Other daylilies are everblooming, which means they bloom repeat- edly through the summer blooms on a stem and each will shrivel and drops off. After all the genus name, Hemerocal- lis, comes from the Greek words “beauty” and “day”. and may have very little or no time between flush- es of bloom. This is a rel- atively new term for daylilies and the goal of many hybridizers. Stella De Oro, which was the first everblooming daylily, has quite small deep yellow blooms. I also wrote this paragraph: “The daylily flowers come in a host of different color patterns. The flower parts can be different colors, petals one color, sepals a differ- ent color, the throats a third color. A petal can be banded with different col- ors or have zones of dif- ferent shades of the same color. The petal may be flat or very ruffled. The possibilities are endless.” This is all still true and this wide variety of col- ors, patterns and shapes is now extended into the everblooming and rebloomers. Their is not just the small yellow one. As if all of this is not enough to consider the daylily a perfect flower, many varieties now have a sweet fragrance. To top things off, you can use the petals in a salad because they are edible. Yes, each flower will still only last about one day but there are many If you would like to visit a daylily garden, there are two in the Sacra- mento area.

Red Bluff Community Band series to begin The Red Bluff Community Band's “Concerts In the Park” will begin Monday, June 6, in the Red Bluff River Park. Dust off those folding chairs and maybe grab a throw blanket to cover yourselves for the first couple Mondays, from the way the weather has been lately. Every Monday evening, June through August, the band will provide a free concert from 8-9 p.m. at Red Bluff River Park. The band continues with rehearsal for the following week's program from 9-10 p.m.. Marches, Fox Trots Two Steps, Waltzes, Old Stan- dards, Broadway Stage and Movie Themes along with light classics make up the band's varied repertoire. With this being the last summer that we are to have Lake Red Bluff border our park, folks are encouraged to make the most of a good thing while we have it. The line appears to be "drawn in the sand" for the dam. After this summer we will not have the esthetics of the reflections rippling on the water dancing to the band's music, nor the cool breezes blowing off from the cold river. This combination has made for a beautiful setting in our park for our band to play in and we want to savor it long as we can, for when the lake is gone, this picturesque setting will no longer be. The band will be offering some new and more com- D NEWSAILY HOW TO REACH US RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 126, NUMBER 165 On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area 800-479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Fax: (530) 527-5774 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

Without having any income other than the donations from listeners, the band just barely gets from one sea- son to another replacing music stands, chairs and gen- eral maintenance to instruments and the music library. Outside of a sizable donation several years back, the band has not been able to purchase any new music. We are fortunate to have a fairly large library from which to draw upon. With the grant the band purchased 35 new good quality music stands, a new xylophone, a new set of orchestra chimes, and a used bell front and four valve Conn tuba. “These new instruments should add lots of new char- acter and color to our sound,” said Jay Thiel, conductor of the band. “Music arrangements contain parts for all the instruments, so when we do not have the instru- ments, we have to omit that part. We still do not have all the instruments, but we have made major progress.” Workshop The Shasta-Cascade Viticulture Association workshop a “Vineyard Canopy Management for Wine Quality” is 9:30 a.m. to noon, Saturday.
