Local author to read in Redding LaChance Publishing announced today the release of Voices of Bipolar Disorder: The Healing Companion: Sto- ries for Courage, Com- fort and Strength, and a local contributor will hold a reading in Red- ding. With a forward by the creators and cast of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Next to Normal, a play that explores the challenges faced by those with the disorder, this new anthol- ogy is the first-of-its- kind publication to open- ly share the experiences of some of the roughly 1 percent to 2 percent of the people in the U.S. who suffer with bipolar disorder. The eighth in a series of books that brings to light the real-life accounts of those living with chronic illnesses, Voices of Bipolar Disor- der is intended to provide support and comfort to those living with the dis- ease and those who care for them. The anthology includes more than 34 stories of parents, spous- es, children and loved ones who have felt the impact of the disease. "My daughter, Aman- da, and I believe the best way we can bust stigma and help other families dealing with brain dis- ease is to share our story," said author Jamie Weil, of Cottonwood. "We hope that through our story others will find inspiration and know they are not alone. And, honestly, the best path- way we have found to recovery is in looking outside our own internal chaos and serving oth- ers." Weil and her daughter will speak 6-8 p.m. Mon- day, Feb. 1, at the Red- ding National Alliance on Mental Illness meet- ing at Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, 2400 Washington St., Redding.

Pouring over all those garden cata- logues that come in the mail is about the only thing to do I like to plan what I want to replace or add to my garden by looking in the catalogues and then visit the local nurseries. That way I can actually look at what I'm buying. FLOWERS When looking around the gar- den, there are very few flowers blooming. The Camellia, consid- ered to be the empress of winter, is one prominent exception. The small blooms of the Camel- lia species 'sasanque' has been blooming since late October, but are just about finished. A good example of a 'sasanqua' is Yuletide that was planted on the south wall of Cone and Kimball Plaza. The 'japonica' species of Camel- lia is just starting to bloom and will continue through March. There are thousands of cultivars to choose from and since they're blooming and can be planted now, it's a great time to shop for them. More plants that are either blooming or will start soon are Aza- lea's, Lenten Rose (Helleborus), Redbud (Cercis), Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles), Forsythia and the deciduous Magnolia. It's also a good time to shop for any of these plants. JOURNAL Start a garden journal. Keep notes on growing conditions, what's blooming, and when. List what you did when. Note dates of low temperatures so the date of first and last freezes can be determined. Walk around the neighborhood and note what other plants are doing well. It may give you ideas on what new plants to add to your own garden.. Take pictures throughout the year to help you remember where the bare spots were. This will pro- vide ideas for what to buy when it's the correct time to plant. BULBS February is the time to plant summer blooming bulbs such as Canna, Dahlia, Gladiolus, Lilium (lily) and Zantedeschia (calla). VEGETABLES Asparagus can be planted in February. Plan a bed that will remain in the same location for many years.. Asparagus will take several years before you can harvest an abundant crop but so very worth the wait. More vegetable plants to put in during the month of February include arugula, chives, leeks, cilantro, parsley, potatoes and green onion sets. PRUNE If the rain has prevented you from pruning your roses, they can wait until early February. While pruning roses, be certain to remove all the leaves to force the plant to go dormant even if for a short time. The primary reasons for pruning are to, remove diseased and damage wood, regulate the size and shape of plants and improve quality of blooms. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public.
