Improper disposal of prescription drugs threatens public health and safety. Removing potentially dangerous prescription d r ugs, pa r t icu la rly controlled substances, from our nation's medicine cabinets is vital to ensure the drugs aren't within reach of abusers. Some 2,500 teens use prescription drugs each day to get high for the first time, according to the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. In addition, pharmaceu- ticals, antibiotics, steroids and similar substances have been detected in the nation's drinking water due to leach- ing and improper prescrip- tion drug disposal. Waste water treatment systems are not designed to remove such substances; therefore, prescription drugs flushed directly into the sewer sys- tem potentially impact hu- man health through expo- sure in drinking water and soil contamination. St. Elizabeth Community Hospital,theTehamaCounty Sheriff's Department, Tehama County Health Services Agency, Tehama County Sanitary Landfill Agency and Ampla Health are partnering in this effort.

POLICE LOGS By Colette Bauer Yes, it's the week of our most patriotic of holidays, Independence Day, or as most of us call it, The 4th of July. I was preparing a floral arrangement for church and decided to get with the patriotism by using red white and blue flowers in my creation. I must admit that what I came up with was underwhelming but the inspiration and effort were acknowledged. This also caused me to think about the red, white and blue flowers that bloom in zones 8 and 9 around Independence Day. Here are a few that I found in my garden. Agapanthus (Amaryl- lidaceae): Also called Lily-of-the-Nile, the Agapanthus is my number one choice for 4th of July flowers. Not only do they come in blue and white but they also look like fireworks going off. These natives of South America grow in clumps which need to be separated every five years or so, can handle our summer heat (given a little a ernoon shade), and are drought tolerant. What's not to like? Roses (Rosa): There is nothing prettier than a white rose except possibly a red rose. Plant them in full sun, keep them dead- headed, add water, and you will be blessed with beautiful blooms spring, summer and fall. Pentas (Rubiaceae): A bright red Pentas is my newest acquisition and yes, it also comes in white. The directions tell me that it needs to be deadheaded to encour- age a continuing bloom. It will flower all summer but in our area it can't take the cold winter so it is considered an annual. It can, however, be moved indoors for the winter. Petunias (Solanaceae): Petunias are a colorful ad- dition to your garden and are o en used as ground cover or as trailing plants in pots. You can pretty much choose your color but they do come in white, red and almost blue. Plumbago (Plumbagi- naceae): This native of South Africa with light blue blossoms we o en see along the highways. This shrub can get to be about six feet tall and ten feet wide but can be pruned to control its growth. A second variety, Ceratostigma, which is a ground cover, also does well in this area. It has bright blue blossoms all summer but it does die back in the winter. Zinnias (Asteraceae): This hot weather flower is native to the south west- ern U.S. and Mexico. For years my Dad planted a va- riety of zinnias to provide me with cut flowers. My husband has continued the practice. Zinnias come in reds and whites as well as a myriad of pinks, yellows and oranges. They can be as short as 16inches but ours frequently grow over six feet tall. These are a few of the patriotic flowers that are presently growing in my garden. Next year I plan to come up with a stun- ning arrangement and maybe, just maybe, there will be more red, white, and blue blossoms from which to choose.
