As the school year approaches, it is important to Zoning in on zones ily in Ventura, I naturally visited the local nursery where I became enraptured with Heliotropium Arborescens - also known as the Common Heliotrope. I bought it - not taking into account where I made the purchase, how I would get it safely home, or what kind of care it would need. It died. done was consult my Sunset West- ern Garden Book. Then I would have known that the Heliotrope is not easily grown in this area and is particularly unsuitable for my "full sun" yard. I should have checked the zone recommendation for the plant. In retrospect, what I should have The word ZONE sounds like a state of mind -as in "My Grand- daughter zones out when I tell her how things were when I was grow- ing up." This, however, is not the kind of zones to which gardeners make reference.

What is interesting to me is that there is as little as 3 degrees Fahrenheit temperature difference in the two zones but zone 9 gets about 5 more inches of rain yearly than zone 8. Also found in Tehama County are zones 7 (up around Manton) and 1A ( near Mineral and the higher elevations. Living on the valley floor I have, you find a plant at a local nursery, donít assume that it will grow here. Last week, while looking for plants in this area, I found many that were not listed for zone 8 or 9. Although I must also admit that when visit- ing the Mendocino Botanical Gar- dens nursery discovered that many of their plants were zoned for areas 8 and 9 -go figure.

Sarmanto as students carefully follow instructions. Vierra and Sarmanto are assisted by Isabelle Sarmanto. All are brown belts in training to be black belts one day. Youth interested in martial arts train at the PAL dojo, at 1005 Vista Way, Ste. C, across from Vista Middle School. Beginners and novices train on Mon- days, 3-5 p.m. Interme- diate students train on Thursdays and advanced students train on Tuesdays and Thurs- days. The martial arts pro- gram has been in exis- tence since 1998 and has continuously focused on anti-drug, alcohol, tobacco and bullying behaviors while students learn to master the basics of self-defense and living a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Chaos Vierra, Jacob McMannus and Cameron Lee are all scheduled to take their black belt tests soon. Each has been training for more than three years. Several others, including Christopher Lee, Zachary Skaggs, P.J. and Isablle Sarman- to and Jordan McMan- nus are brown belts and are on their way for black belt testing possi- bly sometime in the next year or so. It takes a minimum of three years of consis- tent attendance — 70 percent or more — and progress to be consid- ered for black belt test- ing. There have been about 20 students who have graduated from the program as black belts with high school diplo- mas — a high school diploma is required for black belt. Nearly all of these students are out there in the world and have either graduated from college, are serv- ing in the military or are employed. Each brown belt stu- dent is required to maintain a notebook of their black belt require- ments, including each belt ranking test, termi- nology, research on martial arts topics and community service pro- jects and must bring them to dojo each time. Black belt first degree is considered a student's beginning and leading up to it means learning how to become a beginner in life. Training in the PAL dojo is considered to be a lifetime opportunity of learning in the mar- tial arts and citizenship. One is and always will be in training. All PAL programs are free. Dojo students must be at least 5 years old. For more informa- tion on PAL programs visit www.tehamaso.org or call 529.7920. On Facebook visit Claim Victory over bullies. PAL and the Young Marines both meet in the PAL building and the Facebook posting contains information on anti-bullying and living a healthy lifestyle in both programs.
