2A Daily News – Thursday, August 29, 2013 Community people&events Military — Brose Navy Midshipman Lily M. Brose, daughter of Karen R. and Todd A. Brose of Corning recently completed 'Plebe' Summer at the U.S. Navy Academy. Plebe Summer began on Induction Day, June 27 and concluded after seven challenging weeks of basic midshipman training. The pressure and rigor of Plebe Summer is carefully designed to help "plebes" prepare for their first academic year at the Naval Academy and the four years of challenges leading to graduation and commisioning as a Navy or Marine Corps Officer. Plebe Summer is run by upper-class midshipmen who are specially trained in their leadership roles to effectively develop plebes into successful midshipmen. Plebe Summer activities include swimming, martial arts, basic rock climbing, obstacle, endurance and confidence courses designed to develop physical, mental and teambuilding skills, as well as 40 training hours devoted to the instruction of infantry drill and formal parades. Throughout the summer, new midshipmen rapidly gain general knowledge of seamanship, navigation, damage control, sailing and handling yard patrol craft. Plebes also learn how to use 9mm pistols and M-16 rifles. About 1, 200 candidates are selected each year for the Academy's plebe or freshman class, and each student is required to participate in Plebe Summer. This year the Naval Academy received more than 17, 500 applications for the Class of 2017. Brose is a 2013 graduate of Red Bluff Union High School. More musings of a novice gardener Isn't gardening such a unique individual pleasure? Gardens are as unique and varied as the gardeners. I have a vision of wild, unorganized chaos of color and plants, but not everyone shares my flower garden plan. Do you have a vision of what you like for a garden? For example, several years ago my neighbor knocked on the door with gloved hands, toting shears and a garbage bag to help me cut that "weed" as she called it. That "weed" was located next to my garage, but in full view of her house. To quote Eeyore "Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them." Now I had been watching and admiring that plant growing tall with grayish stalk and grayish leaves topped by a pretty purplish flower. I thought the flower attractive and interesting; however, the neighbor didn't agree. She did not want it to go to seed and invade her very manicured yard. Gardeners know what they like and don't like. Oh, yes, it was a globe thistle. I see them for sale in nursery books. Ummm, can they all be bad? The neighbor didn't share my vision. More recently, when a friend was looking at my gardening efforts, she was not enchanted with my two gaura plants which have lovely long stems with pretty pink flowers on the tips that dance in the wind. I like them. They give the garden lovely, soothing movement. To my surprise my friend is killing out her many gaura plants, because they are taking over her garden. Can all gaura plants be bad? Gardeners have varied tastes. My friend didn't share my vision. So thinking of planning a garden involves some basics. First, location, location, location. What kind of soil and how much sun does the location get? Next, what's the vision for the garden? Having a theme in mind can help create a sight of beautiful visual harmony. Not finally, but importantly, plants. There are many, many choices. But it comes down to what plants do you like, and how much time do you want to spend in the garden with those plants? What do you want to see when you look out your window? The Red Bluff Garden Club meets the last Tuesday of the month. After a July break meetings resume on Aug. 27 at Baker Road at 1 p.m. Corn festival fundraiser Charter school Discovery Charter School, at 1660 Monroe St. in Red Bluff, is a small charter school now beginning its 13th year of serving Tehama County students in grades 6-12.
