On Jan. 18, the Corn- ing Skateboard & Bike Association, with the assistance of Vice Mayor Ross Turner, drew the winning tickets for its first raffle. Justin Devers was pre- sented a $25 gift certifi- cate for selling the most raffle tickets. Kim Beck, recreation supervisor, went over a skate park design, which will accompany the city's grant application for Proposition 84 funds, with the youth members of the association. The association's Board of Directors invite others to join the 168 vol- unteers who have already joined the association in an effort to have a legal and safe skate and bike park built for Corning's youth. Skateboards are not allowed on school proper- ty, and violators can be cited and assessed a fine of $102. Residents are invited to attend the City Council meeting scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 794 Third St. The council will be respond- ing to a request for an update on property acqui- sition for a park. Let your council members know that you support a legal and safe park for skate- boarders and bike enthu- siasts to practice and enjoy their sports.

Brightness through the mist By CATHY WILSON During our recent mul- tiple days of deep fog, the bright yellow of some of my perennials was indeed a welcome sight. In the spring these very same shades of yellow enhance the maroon colored shrubs planted nearby. Now that these plants have lost their leaves, these evergreen yellow shrubs take center stage. They no longer enhance but now have become resplendent in their own spaces. The color yellow takes on different meanings to different people. It can represent the warmth of the sun, it can be an illu- minator as to enlighten or even to extend a cordial hand making us feel alive or happy such as in a sunny personality. Yellow enhances and offers bril- liance as in spiritual or to feel blessed. As we extend our gar- dens this spring remem- ber that yellow can offer all these attributes in our own spaces and, especial- ly, if this color lasts year round. So even in the midst of the sometimes dreary days of winter, we too can enjoy our very own sunny spaces. Five favorite perenni- als in my yard that are also evergreen. This means that they retain their leaves with their yel- lowing coloring through- out the winter months. You can't get any better than that! The now blooming daphnes and the daffodils to come will only enhance these peren- nials. The first of the selec- tions is a ground cover. It is a sedum named 'Angelina'. It is a ground cover that is grown in full sun and is heat tolerant. It's beautiful striking nee- dle-shaped foliage makes a brilliant golden yellow carpet. The second is osman- thus heterophyllus or Holly-Leaf Osmanthus. It is actually a tricolored shrub growing to 3 _ feet tall and 5 feet wide but the predominate color in win- ter is mostly yellow. It is grown in full sun but can suffer some leaf burn dur- ing the extreme heat at the end of July or early August on the valley floor. Sweet Flag (Acorus) 'Ogon' has narrow arch- ing leaves that are 10 inches long. It is also a golden yellow which is outstanding in a dreary winter garden. Actually it can be grown as a bog or aquatic plant but it does well in full sun with no leaf burn in my garden even during the hottest months. I also grow a large shrub in the shade that has shiney dark green leaves with bright yellow freck- ling known to most as the gold dust plant. The con- trast of the leaf color is exceptional and guaran- teed to lighten up any dark corner. Last but not least is 'Evergold' Carex . It is 1- 2 feet high and also has narrow arching leaves with dark green leaves that have a broad central band of creamy white which matures to yellow. I use them in succession forming a stunning border for a shady garden bed. In order to brighten your garden during the foggy mists and the drea- riness of winter, try exper- imenting with yellow perennials and I know that you will not be disap- pointed.
