A new variant of the influenza B
virus B/Hong Kong 2001 showed
up last spring This virus w\li likely
spread again this winter Fortu-
nately ulezee said, it is included in
this year s vaccine
In many ways, the flu and a cold
are alike. Glezen said However, the
flu can lead to more serious prob-
lems like pneumonia A stuffy nose,
sore throat, and sneezing are usu-
ally signs of a cold.
Tiredness, fever, headache, and
major aches and pains probably
mean you have the flu Coughing
can be a sign of either a cold or the
flu However, a bad cough usually
points to the flu
Some flu symptoms, like cough-
ing, may last for several weeks
“Specific treatment with anti-flu
drugs is effective for shortening the
course of the illness if you start the
treatment within 48 hours of onset,"
he said “However, these drugs are
only available by prescription."
To feel better while you are sick:
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Get plenty of rest
• Use a humidifier,
• Take an over-the-counter cough
and cold medicine

HELPFUL HINTS
By Mark Barnett
Texas Certified Nursery Professional
and McLennan County Master Gardener
Question: I am unable to water
frequently and my yard gets very dry
What can I plant that can take being
dry and still flower?
Margie Owens, Laguna Park
v Answer: First, anything you plant
will need extra care when it is new,
especially the first summer There are
a few annuals that can take drought,
such as ice plant with its succulent
silver green foliage and yellow or pink
flowers and dew plant with its
succulent shiny green foliage and red
flowers Purslane and portulaca are
also succulent-like plants that come
in a wide range of colors and types If
you want perennials, fly turk’s cap
with red flowers, Mexican oregano
with pink/lavender flowers, salvia
greggi (cherry sage) and flame
acanthus For more ideas, ask a
certified nursery professional.
Question: I have potted plants that
look yellow and do not flower very
well I water regularly What else can I
(to?
Sue Talbert Waco
Answer: Depending on where the
plants are. and what type you have, it
could be one of several things. If the
plants are indoors, make sure that
they need watering, before you water
Do not water on a schedule. Actually
feel the soil with your Angers Plants
will yellow if ft is too dry. and the same,
if they are too wet Also, feed with a
suitable plant food as directed. If the
plants are outdoors, first check the
moisture again by touch. If they have
been too wet, the roots may have
rotted and there may not be much
that you can do If they have been too
dry, they should recover. Also,
outdoor plants may need to be
fertilized more often We tend to water
more heavily outside, so use a good
food for plants in containers such as

Clifton Lutheran Sunset Home Plans
Sept. 11th Commemorative Service
CLIFTON - Staff and resi-
dents of Clifton Lutheran Sunset
Home will host a service of com-
memoration on Wednesday,
Sept. 11, at 10 a.m., in the front
living room.
“It’s now been a year, and we
have all been profoundly
touched by the acts of terrorism
in New York. Pennsylvania, and
Washington, D.C., on 9-11-01,"
said CLSH Chaplain Pat
Dietrich. “There’s still fear that
we will be attacked again — in
even more insidious and harm
ful ways. There’s hatred and an-
ger focused at a whole
nationality of peoples — most of
whom would never consider ter-
rorism nor align themselves
with such evil
There’s sadness and grief
over the loss of life, the loss of
opportunity the loss of possibil
ity,” continued Chaplain
Dietrich.
Hie commemoration service
at the Sunset Home will include
a time of remembrance, in honor
of those who have suffered and
continue to suffer in the face of
death and destruction; a time of
rejoicing, as we give thanks for
God’s sustaining grace that has
been revealed even in the midst
of disaster and the extraordinaiy
effort of God’s people to respond;
and a time of rededicafion, as we
come together in the name of
Christ to help share one
another’s burdens.
“Join us in singing favorite pa-
triotic hymns, hearing a Word of
hope and promise, and standing
together strong as American citi-
zens,” Dietrich concluded.
