TEHAMA Pam Britting, representing the Tehama County Museum, attended a June luncheon in Chico hosted by the Union Pacific Railroad Foundation. The purpose of the lun- cheon was to provide a setting for the Union Pa- cific Foundation to pres- ent grant checks to recip- ients whose grant applica- tions were submitted in 2014 and were approved by the Foundation in Febru- ary of 2015. At this event, the museum received a $3,000 grant to help de- fray the costs of installing the new windows donated to the museum by the Si- erra Pacific Foundation. "Our application was part of a multi-pronged effort to underwrite a three part project to sta- bilize the bricks, replace the windows and replace the roof of our main build- ing, built in 1859-60," Brit- ting said. "Along with lo- cal support and the grant support of The McConnell Foundation through The Shasta Regional Commu- nity Foundation, the brick stabilization and window replacement phases of the project are now covered. Now we're looking for sup- port to put a new roof on the building — that is, to cap off the project." "Since most of the Union Pacific Foundation grants were for program, we are particularly grateful that they saw merit in our ef- forts to maintain the in- tegrity of one of Tehama County's oldest buildings in continuous use and gen- erously helped us succeed," said Vice President Darrell Mullins. The museum is at 275 C St. in Tehama. Its regu- lar hours are 1-4 p.m. Sat- urdays and Sundays and tours may be arranged by calling 384-2595 or by e- mail at tcmuse@tehama. net.

By Shirley Felder Our dog Sadie Belle and my tortoise Tommy and I were having a lit- tle heart to heart talk the other day. I told Sa- die Belle that I realized these were 'the dog days' of August, but that didn't mean it was a holiday just for her. It refers to the hot and sultry days from the end of July to the middle of August and has to do with Sirius (the dog star) rising and setting at the same time as the sun. Sa- die Belle nodded in agree- ment with the hot and sultry days and seemed delighted that there was a star named for dogs. Tommy, the tor- toise, was listening in- tently but didn't seem im- pressed. After all he has been around a long, long time and has seen many dog days come and go. I looked at his smug lit- tle face and wise eyes and pointed out to him that his area was a mess. Sa- die Belle looked around and agreed. Tommy is a desert tortoise and is a vegetarian. I noticed that he had munched on his squash leaves un- til they were raggedy. His tasty cantaloupe vines are turning yellow and he had tromped all over his geranium plant until it was flattened. His clo- ver and grazing grass are not a pretty sight and his morning glory leaves are taking over his whole gar- den. He rolled his eyes to let me know he didn't care. Sadie Belle now had a self righteous air about her. They both then looked at me and wondered what I was going to do about my garden. I told them there were many things to do in August. Of course spent flowers should be removed before they go to seed to keep the annuals blooming into fall. For late season color, asters, chrysanthe- mums and day lily's can be planted, just to name a few. Seeds for root vegeta- bles can be planted now. Even fast maturing po- tatoes can be put in for a crop by Christmas. Now is the time to cut back hydrangeas in our zone. Prune them back right after the blooms fade. Cut stems that have bloomed back to 12 inches. If you want fewer flowers next spring, but larger ones, cut back some of the stems to the base of the plant. For people who grow single crop cane berries, they should be pruned now. Prune ever-bearing va- rieties after the fall har- vest. If you are really ad- venturous, saffron cro- cus can be planted and in about 5 weeks you will get some orange red stig- mas for some pricey spice for the gourmet cook. Ma- ture citrus trees can now go longer between water- ing. Keep soil on the dry side of moist. I could go on, but I seem to have lost my au- dience. Tommy, the tor- toise, has withdrawn into his shell and Sadie Belle gave a theatrical yawn and promptly fell asleep. My husband came around the corner of the house and wanted to know why the dog and I were in the turtle pen. I explained to him we were discuss- ing the lazy and languid 'dog days of summer'. He shook his head, and with a concerned look, turned around and left. P.S. — This arti- cle proves that Robert Minch, of "I Say" column fame in the Daily News, is not the only one that can converse with his dog.
