ByCathyWilson I have told myself and my friends count- less times that I have out gardened myself and will not start an- other garden bed ever. They just smile and nod their heads. They know that it is just a matter of time before the crav- ings begin once again. The main problem for me is that gardens are constantly evolving. Sooner or later a plant needs to be replaced or an area reworked. So off I go to another nurs- ery and, of course, fall in love again. My addiction to nurs- eries began at least 20 years ago. I've since learned I'm defenseless and there is no cure. It's not all bad since it's expanded my knowl- edge of horticulture, is terribly satisfying and revives my creative spirit. I know that when I decide to shop, I should establish a specific plan and stick to it; oth- erwise, it is like food shopping when you are hungry. But then you arrive at your favor- ite local nursery and the first thing that you see are all the new ar- rays of brightly col- ored flowers that were just delivered. They just happen to be the right color to add to your garden bed. I'm particularly drawn to new variet- ies that I've never seen before. It's like find- ing that special purse to add just the right touch to an outfit. You already have a purse that works but this one is perfect. So instead of just buying the orig- inal plant I wanted, I found two more that I couldn't resist. In addition, these two new plants should be added to any garden- er's list of dependable, low maintenance peren- nials that provide color for most of the season. I wanted to share them with all of you who are just like me. The first is named Oenothera fremontii Shimmer. The plants form a low mat of lacey silver-blue leaves. The flowers are a bright lemon yellow resem- bling crepe paper. These large, pleasing flowers appear to lit- erally shimmer in the sunlight. They bloom profusely in the spring and then flush again during the summer. These blooms are even fragrant at night. The other new intro- duction is called Lady Lavender. It is a dwarf and only gets 10 to 12 inches high. It has beautiful blue scented flowers. I planted it next to my Shimmer and they make an eye- catching duo. This lav- ender is also ideal in borders, cottage gar- dens and absolutely stunning in containers. I encourage all of you not to resist your temptations but to fol- low your dreams and you, too, can find that perfect combination to add to your garden and share with your friends.

RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Addictedto gardening The two bandits that held up and robbed the Bank of Tehama County this morning were cap- tured about 2:30 this after- noon at the Lyman place near Lyonsville. The cap- ture of the men was af- fected by Mr. McGuffin and Coyle Turner, who re- sides in that section. The movements of the bandits after they met Lee Myers, the stage driver and in- quired for a place to get gas, had been communi- cated to McGuffin, Turner and Sam Hermanson, by Mrs. Swanson, who has charge of the telephone line into that section. Her- manson is missing and there is grave fears that the bandits have killed him. At this writing the officers and a posse are searching for him. — July 9, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...

By Jennifer Cooper Social Security Manager in Redding In the United States, people do a lot to recognize and honor the heroes who serve in the Armed Forces and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. July is an appropriate month to recognize veterans and wounded warriors, as we celebrate our nation's independence. OnJuly12,1862,President Abraham Lincoln signed into law a measure to award the U.S. Medal of Honor "to such noncommissioned officers and privates as shall mostdistinguishthemselves by their gallantry in action, and other soldier- like qualities during the present insurrection." The first Medal of Honor went to Private Jacob Parrott during the Civil War for his roleintheGreatLocomotive Chase. According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, a total of 3,487 medals have been awarded. Such recognition is important, but perhaps just as important is awarding Social Security benefits to veterans as well. Earnings for active duty military service or active duty training have been covered under Social Security since 1957. Social Security also has covered inactive duty service in the Armed Forces reserves (such as weekend drills) since 1988. Infact,morethanoneout of five adult Social Security beneficiaries has served in the military. Veterans and their families make up 35 percent of those receiving Social Security. If you served in the military before 1957, you did not pay Social Security taxes, but you received special credit for some of your service. You can get both Social Security benefits and military retirement. Generally, there is no reduction of Social Security benefits because of your militaryretirementbenefits. You'll get your full Social Security benefit based on your earnings. If you served in the Armed Forces and you're planning your retirement, you'll want to read our publication, Military Service And Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs. If you are disabled and can no longer work, you may also want to read our publication, Disability Benefits For Wounded Warriors, available at the same web address. Note that Social Security offers veterans expedited processing on their applications for disability benefits. Another reason July is significant to veterans: on July 3, 1930, Congress signed a bill to authorize the President to issue an executive order establishing the Veterans Administration, or VA. President Herbert Hoover signed Executive Order 5398 to create the VA on July 21 of that same year, 84 years ago. Learn more about the VA and types of benefits it provides at www.va.gov. Also, you can learn more about military service and Social Security benefits by visiting the Military Service page for wounded warriors and veterans at www.socialsecurity. gov/retire2/veterans.htm. Social Security thanks you for your service, and we hope we can now be of service to you. SOCIAL SECURITY Federal agency honors veterans You can get both Social Security benefits and military retirement.
