AARP meets today The Corning AARP group will meet at 2 p.m. today. Guest speaker will be Dr. Kelly Baker who will present a program on senior health. The meeting is open to the public. Goldie's Dinner Goldie's Annual Dinner, sponsored by the Red Bluff Community Center Auxiliary, will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, March 18, at the Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. Baked ham or oven fried chicken complete dinners will be offered for $8. Goldie Walston was the woman who had the vision to provide a community center, which had been discussed for years with no action. With the help of many others, she raised enough money to show community support so that the city of Red Bluff could apply for grant funds. Although the annual dinner is named for her, it also hon- ors all those who worked toward the dream becoming reallity. The original group have all passed away, but the center is used virtually every day. When the Center opened, the Auxiliary provided funds to buy tables, chairs, caddies, stage curtains, sports equipment, dishes and glasses for 360, flatware for 360, sound system and many other things. To complete the parking lot, they paid for concrete and light standards. Through the years they have paid for more than $120,000 for Center improvements. As some of the original fur- nishings are wearing out, the Auxiliary has bought new tables and chairs, and new place settings are on order. The annual dinner is one of two fundraisers for the auxiliary. The other is the fall craft fair in cooperation with the Blues for the Pool group. Money from the monthly bingo games all goes to local projects and char- ities. In keeping with Goldie Walston's philosophy, the dinner price is deliberately kept low to make it afford- able but donations will be accepted. Fiber Arts food drive Any garden, whether a large yard or just a couple of steps by the front door can benefit from having some plants in pots. Planter pots (and other containers) come in myr- iad colors and shapes. Walk through any nursery or gar- den department and you‚ll notice the many possibilities for combin- ing different plants with matching or contrasting pots of green, brown, red, purple, or yellow. Then if you include the containers you can make at home by painting cans or plastic containers and poking holes in their bottoms, you have almost unlimited possibilities for enhanc- ing the décor and color scheme of your garden, whatever its size. Perhaps the best thing about hav- ing plants in pots is that they can be moved easily. Pots can be rearranged so the plants that are in bloom are in a prominent position, and when those blooms fade they can be moved again. Plants with different colors of foliage or differ- ent colored pots can be shifted around to try different combina- tions. Plants that become bare in win- ter can be put someplace inconspic- uous. Plants that are sensitive to School to celebrate Colonial Night Courtesy photo Retired Jackson Heights teach- ers, Kim O'Keefe, left, and Marian Spainhower, along with students Caitlin Priest and Tyler Wage- man, are getting ready for the annual Colonial Night to be held today 5:30-7:30 p.m., featuring old time fun and games. For additional information, call 527- 7150. cold can be outside in summer and inside in winter (or vice versa). Plants that are in the way of new construction or something being carried by can be shifted aside. Having plants in pots may also improve their survival. Pots can serve as barriers, or make it easier to set up deterrents to help keep plants away from pests such as moles, gophers, slugs, snails, etc. (good luck). Pots don‚t help much with deer or turkeys, if the pots are left at ground level, but the nice thing about having self-contained plants is that they can be hung up high or fastened to the side of a building to avoid those larger pests. Potted plants can also help with garden tasks. For plants that spread themselves by underground stem or rhizome a pot can serve to limit how far the plant can go and avoid the need to remove the unwanted spread. Bulb (and some other) plants gradually multiply themselves over the years and occasionally have to be dug up and separated to keep them blooming. Taking the bulbs or plants out of a pot to separate the clump is much simpler than digging them out of the ground, where they may be buried several inches deep. Combining a number of different plants in one pot can create an attractive small garden and is an effective way of experimenting with different combinations without needing lots of pots. So pots can be useful additions to any garden. Keeping a single plant in a pot is an easy way to get started gardening. It's also a good way to try out a new plant in an established garden. So feel free to experiment. Red Bluff Garden Club meets at 1 p.m. on the last Tuesday of each month, at 12889 Baker Road, just off Walnut, and visitors are wel- come! The Feb. 28 meeting pro- gram, by Fran Galantine, is about creating an award-winning design for a flower show.
