Frosty survivors among plants By CATHY WILSON It was 20 degrees Fahrenheit early this morning. Armed with a steamy cup of coffee and a very warm jacket, I ven- tured into the yard to sur- vey the resulting damage. First I noticed the marigolds and the lan- tanas along the walkway were devastated. They had survived the last few minor frosts but not this time. I dreaded approach- ing the citrus trees which are marginal in this zone 9 unless protected. Mine were not. First to be noted was their bright green leaves folded into themselves as if to ward off the assault. Only time will tell to see how they do. In the past they have lost all their leaves and it seemed to an eternity in the spring before they once again leafed out. As I was turning to continue, I was startled by the beauty of a single camellia bloom boasting in a shade of scarlet with a bright yellow pom-pom center. Surrounded by so much devastation this sin- gle flower's loveliness became a wonderful focal point, more beautiful now than ever before. This camellia is known by the name "Yuletide'. It blooms November through January on an upright plant. Being encouraged, I moved on. To my sur- prise there continued to be other survivors as well. I noticed a beautiful varie- gated ground cover seem- ingly untouched by the frost. It is called Silene uniflora and in the spring has lovely white pan- taloon shaped flowers. Close by mondo grass Ophiopogon 'Nigrescens' displayed its strappy leaves of black making its bold statement as always. It's neighbor, also a varie- gated plant, Lamium, appeared flawless. In different beds I spot- ted shrubs Osmanthus 'Goshiki' and Pieris japonica 'Variegata' that had not only endured, but now have proven to be stand-outs this time of the year.Also noted was a wonderful, very slow growing vine named Tra- chelospernum. It's tricol- ored leaves brighter now than ever before. The newer growth is a brighter pink in contrast to the cream and green of the more mature leaves. It is drought tolerant and does well in full sun—a 'must have' for gardens in our zone. If the frost damage has taken the delight out of your garden, you, too, can find plants that can persist through the brutality of winter. We all know that most perennials go dormant once the temperatures drop to emerge again the following spring; but also know, that there are others that can exist against all odds. They bring the promise of the spring to come and elevate our spir- its during the dreary win- ter months. Everyone is welcome to attend the Red Bluff Garden Club meetings. They are held on the last Tuesday of every month starting at 12:30 p.m. Our next speaker is LaSaine Ware presenting: Roses—Pruning and Growing. For more info call Sharon Eliggi, 529- 0714 or Sharon Kessey, 529-5122. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with the Cascade District Garden Club; California Garden Clubs, Inc: Pacific Region Garden Clubs: and National Garden Clubs Inc. Musical opportunities at Shasta College Community Concert Band The Shasta College Community Concert Band invites all interested musicians to join this 100-plus member ensemble for the spring semester. The ensemble is open to all community members who read music and play a standard wind band instru- ment — woodwind, brass or percussion — and does not require an audition. Interested musicians should come to the band room, 633, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21, at the Shasta College Main Redding Campus. There will be a brief special introductory meeting for all new members.

Chorale auditions The Shasta College Community Chorale will be holding auditions during the first three weeks of the spring term, beginning Jan. 25. The choir is seeking new members for a pro- gram of choral music to be performed in May. The Chorale meets at 7 p.m. on Monday evenings, in room 638, on the Shasta College main campus. The projected work this term will be works for orchestra and choir by R. Vaughan Williams, "Ser- enade to Music." Men and women who have some basic musical skill and a desire to sing are wel- come. For more information, contact Dr. Elizabeth Waterbury, Director of Choral Programs, at 242- 2367. Ivy B. Horr Medical Education Loan Fund is now accepting 2010 applications, due March 31. Ivy Buchler Horr was a resi- dent of Glenburn near Fall River Mills from 1930 to her death in 1982. She and her husband Harry raised cattle, hay and grain on the Horr Ranch until Harry's death in 1966. After his death Ivy sold some of the Horr Ranch land to the State of California for Parks and Recreation Land. Soon thereafter she began a lumber supply com- pany in Fall River Valley called Blue Heron Lumber. The rest of her life was devoted to the company, to traveling to abroad and giving back to the Fall River community. She earned the honor of Fall River's Citizen of the Year in 1981 "for being an honest business person who pro- vides many job opportunities for the community." In 1982, Ivy lost a battle with cancer, but her legacy remains through the Ivy B. Horr Medical Education Fund. Ivy created a trust before she passed through which low interest loans are awarded to students from Shasta, Lassen, Trinity, Tehama, Modoc and Siskiyou counties pursuing an education in medicine. The trust, formerly held at Shasta College, has been trans- ferred to the Community Founda- tion for permanent administration. To date more than 150 people have benefited from the generosi- ty of Ivy B. Horr, with many more to benefit in the future. Loans of up to $10,000 are available to students who have attended high school in Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, Modoc, Trinity or Siskiyou counties. To be eligible for this scholar- ship the student must be engaged in the study of medicine or in medical training at a college or university. For a the loan application and eligibility requirements, visit www.shastarcf.org. Information is also available through Community Foundation staff at 244-1219.
