2A Daily News – Thursday, November 17, 2011 Community people&events Bend School Parade 10 most wanted bugs in your garden Adapted by KATHY BRAMHALL Courtesy photo The student council of Bend School, pic- tured here, will be having a "Thanksgiving Parade" during the week of Nov 14-18. Classrooms and community members will decorate shopping carts to have lined up at the front of our school. Students are looking for community members to donate non per- ishable foods and coats through Nov. 18, that they can place into their favorite cart. For more information call 527-4648. Connecting the trails talk The Sacramento River Discovery Center will present "Walking, Bike Riding Let's Connect the Trails" 7 tonight at the Farm Bureau Building, 275 Sale Lane. This is part two of the discussion about the trails of Red Bluff and Tehama County. Adam Hansen, of the Tehama County Transporta- tion Commission, will share his knowledge about the Bicycle Transportation Account and what needs to be done to obtain funding. Tom Orr, of Shasta College, will share another type of base material that could possibly be used for trail construction. Have you thought of a creative name for the savings account that can be created at Cornerstone Community Bank for the public to become a real part of this pro- ject? A "brainstorming" session will be part of the evening's activities, an opportunity to share thoughts and ideas. Those unable to attend can share by sending an e-mail to Bobie at bhughe1@tehamaed.org and she will add them to the "Wall of Ideas" The program will be followed by refreshments.

If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. Two-three weeks ago Sharon Kessey wrote about the Lady Bug and how good they are for your garden. That was just the tip of the iceberg. The following article is reprinted from a CGCI publication "The 10 Most Wanted Bugs in Your Garden" by Deb Tidd. Most inspects found in your garden do not harm plants. In fact, 97 percent of the insects you see fall into this category! Such insects are called "benefi- cials" because they bene- fit the garden by pollinat- ing plants, improving soil and eating the pests that really harm plants. These hard-working beneficials can be a hardener's best friend by keeping prob- lem pests under control naturally, without use of chemicals. Below is a list of ten beneficial bugs that consume large numbers of pests or pollinate plants. Do not attempt to appre- hend them…just let them serve time in your garden! 1. The Green Lacewing (Aliases: aphid wolf, aphid lion). Wanted for aggressively devour- ing aphids, thrips, mealy- bugs, scale, spider mites, leafhoppers and insect eggs. 2. Soldier Beetle (Alias: leatherwings). Wanted for attacking and feeding on aphids and other soft-bodied insects. 3. Dragonfly (Aliases: mosquito hawk, darner). Wanted for preying on unsuspecting flying insects like mosquitoes, flies and midges. 4. Bee (Aliases: Euro- pean honeybee, bumble- bee. Also includes hun- dreds of native been species including leafcut- ter and orchard bees). Wanted for pollinating the flowers of many of our ornamental, fruit and veg- etable plants. 5. Syrphid Fly (Alias- es: hoverfly, flower fly). Wanted for hunting down aphids, mealybugs and other pests, and for polli- nating plants. 6. Ground Beetle (Aliases: predacious ground beetle, and cara- bids, among others). Wanted for conspiring to eat many soil-dwelling pests like slugs, snails, cutworms and root mag- gots. 7. Parasitic Wasp (Aliases: trichogramma, braconid, hyposoter and inchneumon, among others). Wanted for par- asitizing the eggs of cut- worms, cabbage loop- ers, codling moths, tomato hornworms, aphids, whiteflies, scales and other pests. 8. Spider (Aliases: funnel weavers, crab spider and golden orb spiders, among others). Wanted for trapping and bugnapping a wide vari- ety of insect pests. 9. Ladybeetle (Alias- es: ladybug, ladybird beetle, seven-spotted ladybeetle). Wanted for gorging on soft-bodied insets like aphids, scale, thrips, mealybugs, and spider mites. 10. Tachinid Fly (Alias: diptera). Want- ed for attacking unsus- pecting caterpillars and beetles. Before you stomp on or spray any unfamiliar bugs in your garden, make sure you know the good guys from the bad guys. Remember that most insects go through several changes during their life cycle, so the young (larva or nymph—or alligator!) may look totally differ- ent from the adult. And, keep in mind; it is often the "young" of the insect that eats the most pests.

Dependent daughter diminishes dispensation Dear Annie: A few years ago, my daughter was newly married and preg- nant. Neither she nor her husband had a job, so both sets of parents took them in at various times and helped when the baby was born. My son-in-law went back to school and got a job, and they finally moved into a small house of their own. When my daughter decided to go to nursing school, we were delighted. Again, both sets of parents pitched in and took care of the baby. I also fed her family every day so they wouldn't have to spend money they didn't have. When she became pregnant again, we stepped back up to the plate and took care of their lit- tle newborn girl. My daughter now is an RN and D NEWSAILY HOW TO REACH US RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 126, NUMBER 309 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.

Stanley Is Facing Two Charges; To Have Preliminary A new charge has been brought up against Dan Stanley, arrested a few days ago at Madera and bought back by Sheriff M. O. Ballard. He is now accused of obtaining property under false representa- tion. It is claimed he secured credit for a $27 pair of boots at Granville Woodman's store, August 22, on the strength of a statement to the effect that he had 150 head of cattle on Cottonwood Creek. — Nov. 17, 1921 makes great money. Her husband does decently, and they have a lot to be thankful for. When my daughter asked me to continue babysitting, I agreed, but only if I was paid. This really upset her, and she now won't let me see the kids. Her sister-in-law looks after them for free, but only for a few hours a day. My daughter works nights and doesn't get enough sleep in the day- time because she must attend to her children. Am I being selfish for wanting to be paid $400 a month for child care along with breakfast, lunch and din- ner? — Sad Grandma in Missouri K W I K K U T S Family Hair Salon 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 with coupon $200 REGULAR HAIRCUT off Not good with other offers Reg. $13.95 Expires 11/30/11 Dear Grandma: This Annie's Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar isn't about fairness, because you are certainly entitled to be paid for your services. But you have changed the dynamic between you and your daughter. You've turned babysitting the grand- children into a business transaction. Not only was your daughter caught off- guard, but she obviously resents it. If you need the money, talk to your daughter about what she thinks would be appropriate, and see if you can work this out. If you don't need the money, we suggest you babysit when you are willing, without charge. Dear Annie: What can you do when your husband's driving is dri- ving you nuts? Most of the time, he is OK, but the tailgating, speeding and unsafe lane changes make me nauseated, and the kids have thrown up more times than I can count. — Not a NASCAR Fan Dear Not a Fan: We assume you have told your husband how fright- ened you are by his driving. Many men equate reckless driving with manliness, as if they have to prove something. Tell him it's fine when he is in the car alone, but you would appreciate it if he would drive more conservatively when you and the children are with him. If he refuses, we recommend you drive yourself, get a ride from someone else, or take a bus, train or cab to your destina- Bake sale The Flournoy/Paskenta 4-H Club Bake Sale will start at 10 a.m. on Satur- day, Nov. 19, and go until all baked goods are sold at the Flournoy Country Store.

Parents and students should not think of college as a four-year vacation from reality. The choice of school and major far out- weigh the social advantages offered by college campuses. A college education is an investment in the student's future that, like any invest- ment, could result in a financial and career disaster if not evaluated objectively. If there is any doubt about the student's readiness, it would be wise to enroll in a local junior college or regional state col- lege campus. I suggest ''Wish'' re-enroll in a credible night school program and select a marketable major based on her likes, employability and chances of career success. The next time she starts feeling depressed and sorry for herself, she should go visit the children's ICU ward at her local hospital. Volunteering there would give her a dramatic shift in attitude with a complete loss of depression. — Crown Point, Ind.
