Championarcherto be honored Friday COURTESYPHOTO Paige Pearce will offer an archery demonstration at the Red Bluff branch of the Tehama County Library Friday. Much has been said about the big Iron Can- yon irrigation meeting to be held in Red Bluff next Saturday. Emphasis has been placed on the gratifying fact that many men of prominence in national af- fairs are to be here to par- ticipate in the discussions, and to pay a visit to the site of the proposed dam. These visits are to be a de- cided compliment to the city and county, and will give a new impetus to the Iron Canyon project. But the visit of these dis- tinguished men to Tehama county also places an ob- ligation upon the citizens of Tehama county, an more particularly of Red Bluff. It is our duty to give them welcome. The only satis- factory way to extend this welcome, and to show our appreciation of their pres- ence here, is to turn out and meet them. Every business and professional man in Red Bluff, as well as every citizen in or out of business, should make it a point to be at the woman's club room on Rio street at 1 o'clock Saturday to hear these men on a subject that comes close to all of us. Automobiles have been secured to take the visi- tors to the site of the Iron Canyon dam. This delega- tion will leave the Cham- ber of Commerce rooms on Main street at 9:30 Satur- day morning. Show your community pride by loading your car with friends who have no way to go, and join this caravan to the dam site. — Oct. 23, 1914 90YEARSAGO... Here is a duty that belongs to every Red Bluff resident A free car show and barbecue is scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Thursday at 237 S. Main St. in Red Bluff, in the parking lot of Corner- stone Community Bank. The event will include a raffle and music. Those interested in displaying a vehicle are asked to send an email with their name, vehicle make and model and city to clewis@bankcorner- stone.com. Cornerstone is hosting the event in partnership with Westside Rods. TO DO Car show, barbecue to take place tonight Some- times I get a vicious case of writer's block, so I'll skip a month rather than try to dummy something up. It was look- ing like October was go- ing to be one of those dry months. I didn't have any- thing exciting going on. Team Intense didn't have any fights this month. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, a friend of mine tells me that her daughter is being bullied at school. She came home with bruises and scratches, and my friend tells me that the school can't do a thing be- cause it's one child's word against another's. This poor girl was scared to go to school and felt vulnerable. Her mom was outraged and felt pow- erless. I was mad as hell. People have brought me their children who were being bullied before, and I have had some success with giving the kids some confidence and some skills to defend themselves. I asked my friend to bring her daughter to me, and let me work with her. She brought her in that night. It so happened that three of my other young adults were in that night, so it worked out perfectly. My girl got some good kick boxing bag work and got to practice some grappling skills with the other kids. Her mom showed back up, and she was able to show her some of the skills she learned. She said she felt a little more comfort- able with her situation. I was pretty impressed. She was a very fast learner. Her mom let me know later that night that her daughter really liked it and will be back to learn some more. A message to parents: Please pay attention to how your kids interact with others. Look for bully be- haviors. Notice if they are domineering, belittling, physical even when others shy away from them. Monitor their on-line activities like Facebook and their texts. If you no- tice they are being mean, it is your responsibility to teach them to be kind and why kindness is more powerful and gets them further in life. If you are unsure how to handle the situation, please get your child in for some counseling. It helps. The thing about self de- fense, it only works if you practice it at least a few times and it works a lot better if you practice it on an ongoing basis. Speaking of self defense, I sometimes get folks ask- ing when I'm going to do the next one. Make your way down to my gym at 9 a.m. Saturday. Prepare to learn some basics and practice some escapes for about an hour. I will also invite my friend, Rachel, of Dam- sel In Defense in case you need a stun gun, some pepper spray, a kubaton, etc. This is a free class and is open to anyone. Bring the kids. Bring your mate for a fun, cheap date. Just come. You need to learn some basics. Unfortunately, our won- derful little town is not as safe as it once was. It isn't just bullies you have to worry about, it's also the criminals roaming the streets. TeamIntense Speaking of bullies, Psy- cho's own Team Intense is gearing up for the next fight. Rocky Golden, Kole Dixon and Alex Fazleev will be fighting at Blue Lake Casino on Nov. 22, and Jesse Davis has a fight lined up in December, more details to come later. These boys are going to bully the hell out of their opponents. I can't wait to see them in action. Take a road trip and come out and support your local fighters. They are also looking for sponsors if you want to get your logo on one or all of them. I know I'm putting the Psy- cho brand on them. Think pink One last thing before I wrap this up, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So please, ladies, get your mammograms. Men can get breast can- cer too, so, guys, don't hes- itate to ask for a mammo- gram too if you are at risk. And everyone, do a self check every month and get to the doctor if you find any suspicious bumps on the ta tas.

AVERY VILCHE Thinkpinkandbulliesstink By Millie Seiber I say dangerous be- cause they could be addic- tive. Once you have had the pleasure of looking at a row of gaudy blooms of all sizes and colors you will be hooked. It has been more or less established that there are nine basic types of Dahl- ias ranging from Pompon to Anemone. These plants have quite a history be- hind them, from being found growing wild in Mex- ico and then being spread around Europe through dis- tribution of seeds from one botanist to another during the 1700s. The taxonomists of the day had a field day changing the name left and right. My favorite flower types in Dahlias are the Pom- pon, which is quite useful in flower arranging, to the cactus type. Most of the very large Dahlia flowers are not too useful to flower arrangers since they would create a focal point in your arrangement. This is a no- no. The larger blooms, how- ever, are terrific for a color- ful background in a garden planted in bulbs and shorter plants. Sometimes they are so tall they do need to be staked, but they're worth the trouble. Another pur- pose of all this color is to attract pollinating insects, since Dahlias do not have an insect-attracting scent. Dahlias are not partic- ularly temperamental, but they are not frost-hardy. This can be handled by taking up the tubers in the Fall and keeping them in a cool dry spot for the Win- ter. The plants will perform most successfully in well- watered yet free-draining soil when you plant them in the Spring. With regard to pests and diseases the list isn't too long. Slugs and snails can do a lot of damage to the new growth just getting up. Other common pests would be aphids and red spider mites. A good insect de- terrent can usually take of these. Diseases that can be a problem include powdery mildew and Dahlia smut. The wide selection of color is another point in fa- vor of Dahlias. I have used Pompons a lot — they hold up well in an arrangement and come in an attractive shade of light green. I don't know many names of the various species since they have become so heavily hy- bridized, but there is also a Cactus type that comes in a really good clear yellow. An interesting sideline is that in Mexico — which, by the way, has selected the Dahlia as its national flower — before the discov- ery of insulin in 1923 dia- betics were often given a substance called Atlantic starch or diabetic sugar de- rived from inulin, which is a naturally occurring form of fruit sugar extracted from Dahlia tubers. If you delve deeply enough into the litera- ture of Dahlias you will run into point-by-point in- structions as to how to have he most gorgeous blooms and healthy plants, but at whichever level you choose to operate you will have a lot of satisfaction.
