CORNING Special District Risk Management Author- ity recognized President Rasmussen and Directors of the Corning Healthcare District for having five years without a workers compensation claim. Corning Healthcare Dis- trict maintains proactive loss prevention and work- place safety policies. The results have been no work- ers compensation claims for five consecutive years. In addition to the recog- nition, the authority offers a credit incentive to all of their customers that reach certain safety goals.. Rasmussen gives credit to the employees of the district for following the safety rules and guidelines provided by the authority. The organization provides monthly brochures con- cerning safety topics such as lifting, driving, clean- ing up hazardous materi- als and other safety issues facing workers. "No one wins when there is an injury" said District Manager Shirley Engebret- sen. "Sometimes accidents occur, and when that hap- pens the employee suffers and the business suffers." Listening to employees is part of the solution. "We do all that we can to provide a safe environment for everyone who works in or around our campus," said Maintenance Man- ager Don Holden. "We al- ways take seriously any suggestions for safety given by the public or visitors to our campus. If possible, we implement the suggestions the same day that they are given." A safety record like this can only happen when em- ployees and employers work together in cooperation for the safety of everyone.

CORNING HEALTHCARE Di st ri ct r ec og ni ze d fo r years of worker safety COURTESYPHOTO Director Charles Rouse presents a certificate from Special District Risk Management Authority to Corning Healthcare District President Patricia Rasmussen. By Bobie Hughes The Discovery Garden at the Sacramento River Dis- covery Center in the Men- docino National Forest's Red Bluff Recreation Area is an example of the value of having at least part of your garden planted with plant species that are na- tive to this part of Califor- nia. Plants that originate in Shasta, Tehama, Butte and Glenn counties have some common elements. That is the fact that they have learned how to sur- vive the unique climate changes that exist here. Most plants that are brought into the big box stores are from southern California where the 110 degree summer tempera- tures and the 28 degree or lower winter temperatures are not known. There are some plants that, very conscientious gardeners, can spend time and provide a unique set- ting that will allow the plants to last for a few years. I know from per- sonal experience that I have not had any success in long term survival of plants that grown locally The choice is to start with a garden that con- tains species that are from our four local coun- ties. There are a number of very good nurseries that provide a large vari- ety of species for both sun and shade areas as well as plants for areas that have water available to very lit- tle to no water availability. The Discovery Gar- den now has it's license to sell nursery stock. An- other source is the Califor- nia Native Plant Societies that hold both spring and fall plant sales. These sales support organizations that help preserve and protect species that are unique to our area. There are California Na- tive Plant Society chapters in both Shasta county and Butte County. The Shasta County chapter meets the 3rd Thursday evening starting Sept 17, in Red- ding, and the Mt. Lassen chapter meets in Chico the first Wednesday and will hold their next meeting on September 2. To learn more about this organiza- tion you can visit the CNPS website at: cnps.org and see list of counties served by various chapters. I would encourage you to use the local resources to help in making plant se- lection decisions for your location but also to plan on reduction of invasive species on your property. In the cold winter months most of the invasive spe- cies go dormant and may not even be aware of you taking them to the burn pile. The best way to be sure that they do not come back is to dig them out by the root. Yes, it is a lot of work, however the volunteers at the Discovery garden can attest to the success that comes when the plant and its roots are removed from the soil. The garden may have new species appear, but there is a real sense of satisfaction when you do not have to remove the same specie year after year. If you live in an area with any moving water source Please use the root removal technique rather than chemicals. Our wa- ter is a precious commod- ity and chemicals can be damaging to soils down- stream. Want to learn more about gardening? Come to your local Garden Club meetings. Each month a different topic is explored and there is an opportu- nity to ask questions of members who have knowl- edge about many different types of plants. The Red Bluff Garden Club will have its next meeting at 1 p.m. Aug. 25 at the Union Hall on Baker Road. You can also contact Fran at frangalantine@gmail.com or Bobie bhughessrdc@ gmail.com.

Tickets available for annual gala As the result of investi- gations made by officials of the Stanford Ranch follow- ing the fire Wednesday af- ternoon which destroyed the entire Stanford Winery with the exception of the Wine cellar and bonded warehouse. Superintendant W. G. Stimmel has announced that the fire was one of incendiary origin, but it is believed to have been started through the care- lessness of workmen who were employed in the fer- menting house, where the fire started, up to within five or ten minutes before the blaze was discovered. It is thought that some of the men, several of whom were said to be smoking, dropped a lighted match or an unextinguished cig- arette butt into inflamma- ble material which finally caught fire. — Aug. 20, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
