2A Daily News – Thursday, August 18, 2011 Community people&events Breast health services, education expand to Tehama The Sacramento Valley Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure has expanded its 17-county ser- vice area to now include Glenn and Tehama counties. With this expansion, residents can now receive services in the neighboring city of Chico through the California Health Collaborative breast cancer program. "Our goal is to ensure that we are providing breast health services and education to as many people as possible," said Donna Sanderson, executive director of the Komen Sacramento Affiliate. "Glenn and Tehama counties are severely lacking in these services, that's why it makes perfect sense for us to expand our pro- gram to help more individuals and ultimately save more lives." Glenn and Tehama counties have a combined pop- ulation of 90,000 residents. Over the years, the Cali- fornia Health Collaborative, a grantee of Komen's, was unable to fulfill requests from women in these counties for breast cancer services. Now, because of the expand- ed service area, these individuals, especially those in rural areas, will have greater access to care. "These counties house a large population of immi- grant and low-income families, making breast health services even less accessible," Sanderson said. "Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. The services we'll be providing are vitally important and will help better educate women about the importance of early detec- tion through screening, improved treatment methods, risk factors and more…giving them a greater chance of survival." Since its inception, the Sacramento Valley Affiliate has brought in millions of dollars to support breast can- cer services and education for the greater Sacramento region.

By KATHY BRAMHALL I've just returned from four days in Ferndale judging the flower show at the Humboldt County Fair. This was great opportunity to see and judge Tuberous Begonias, Fuch- sias, and Dahlias. The first two of which we don't grow too success- fully over here. But yes, we do manage dahlias and here are some Dahlia facts. The dahlia is the national flower of Mexico. Modern hybrids can be traced back to the mountain regions of Mexico and Guatemala. Although named after the Swedish botanist, Anders Dahl, it was the Dutch who developed and hybridized dahlia tubers into what they are today. Dahlias provide color and beauty in abundance and are available in an amazing variety of color, size, and form—Singles, Formal and Infor- mal Decorative, Peony form, Ball, Pompom, Collarette, Fimbriate (almost fuzzy), and Cactus. Dwarf varieties grow only 12 inches tall with 1-inch flowers, while some full-sized dahlias can reach 6 feet leaving 2 or 3 of the strongest shoots. Stake—especially in our windy valley. Water regularly— deeply and mulch to keep down weeds. with 12-inch flowers. Dahlias do take some mainte- nance. In most cases dahlias are grown from tuberous roots, which take a year or more to develop and add to their purchase price. Look for firm tubers early in the season. Dahlias should be planted in an airy, sunny place protected from high winds. They do best in fertile (well enriched with organ- ic matter)-well-drained garden soil. In the spring plant larger tubers about two weeks before danger of frost is past. Or set out smaller tuberous roots outdoors after the last frost. Plant in a 1-ft. deep hole incorporating _ cup low-nitrogen fertilizer. Cover with 3-4 inches of soil, and then add more soil as the plant grows. Pinch to thin when they are about 6 inches above the final soil level In cold-winter areas, dahlia tubers will freeze. In late fall, after the tops have died down or frosted black, cut off the tops at about six inches above the soil and then care- fully dig the tubers. Gently wash off the soil, dry, label, and store. Trim off the smallest roots and dust with sulfur powder or other fungi- cide to help reduce rotting. They should be treated like potatoes; stored in a dark bin in a cool place for the winter. In our warmer clime this only needs to be done every 3- 4 years when the tubers need divid- ed—like irises. If Enjoy these beauties.
