2A – Daily News – Thursday, December 16, 2010 Community people&events Friday Night Live performs Winter in the garden By CATHY WILSON Courtesy photo Red Bluff High School students perform for SERRF students. The play, Moonlight Ride discusses the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Jenny, portrayed by Kelly Cave, makes some poor choices which lead to her getting into a vehicle with her intoxicated boyfriend, Jeff, played by Philip Graves. Youth Leaders from Red Bluff High School spread the word about the dangers of alcohol to SERRF stu- dents. The teens, members of Friday Night Live The- atre, performed the play "Moonlight Ride" for students at Jackson Heights, Metteer, Bidwell and Vista schools. Moonlight Ride discusses the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Jenny, portrayed by sophomore Kelly Cave, makes some poor choices which lead to her getting into a vehicle with her intoxicated boyfriend, Jeff, played by senior Philip Graves. Junior Belinda Dotson and freshman Michaela Crain serve as narrators for the story. The youth led a question/answer session with the younger students after the performance, in which they were asked a variety of questions from what is alcohol to how to become a performer in FNL Theatre. "I think the kids learned a lesson about drunk dri- ving," said Cave. "Hopefully it will stick with them through their adult life" The youth will begin touring once again in January with a variety of plays about drug and alcohol preven- tion and diabetes awareness. Cave remarked on the teamwork that the productions take, "I liked how the play brought the four of us togeth- er and how we had each other’s backs." The theatre troupe will resume rehearsals Wednes- days in January during the ASSETS After School Pro- gram at Red Bluff High School. New members are wel- come. Interested students can call 528-7391.

Main St. There are not enough hours in a day during the month of December. We are all busy with prepara- tions for the holidays and time is precious. Most of us are exhausted, but then, there is the excitement and anticipation of visiting with friends and family which continues to moti- vate us. The shared holi- day season is the season for celebration and hope together. homes extensively but not our gardens. Often we decorate our Almost nothing is blooming now and the majority of the plants look bedraggled. Our flower beds seem life- less and need a dose of vitality. Yet this is the time that there are more people coming and going from our homes. So this the very time that they should feel welcomed in the holi- day spirit from the moment they leave their car until they arrive at our front door. What better way to enliven the pathway to our entrance than with color and lights? One needs only to go to the local nursery to survey current blooming plants such as last year’s particularly harsh winter. They form rosettes of green or gray- green often including bor- ders of deeper colors such as maroon or reds. Keepings leaves swept pansies, flowering kale and calendulas. Buying six-packs of these colorful plants are not only eco- nomical but functional. They can be tucked easily into small places without disturbing other plantings. There are even smaller scale plants that winter well and provide not only color but interest. Design is all about the details. Look for the bare places that are now visible in your planting beds. Remember subtle or con- trasting color changes, unique textural contrasts and different forms all add intrigue to the garden. Sedums are an excel- lent choice for filling in small spaces. They can be found in several colors and textures. They adapt easily when planted. Most have fleshy leaves and are evergreen. They come in various colors of light to dark green, yellows, gray, blue, maroon and some with variegation. They can be used as ‘spillers’ in pots or even ‘fillers’ in cracks of sidewalks, or any ‘nook and cranny’. Thyme is another won- derful small plant that is not used enough in gar- dens. It can be used in much the same ways as sedums. These tiny plants are members of the mint family and are heavily scented. They come in various greens, grey and yellow. Many different vari- eties of Echeveria can be used in rock gardens or used as edging plantings or fill-ins for mixed con- tainers. The most popular of these we all know as Hen and Chicks. These are surviving this winter’s frost in my yard as well as off sidewalks and steps is a safety measure. I know of many people that keep these fallen leaves in their garden beds to protect the more tender plants from frost. I am not a fan of this practice as I’ve noticed that it also provides the protection of snails and slugs. I prefer a well man- icured appearance to my garden spaces.
