2A – Daily News – Thursday, May 12, 2011 Community people&events Young Marines teach children dangers of tobacco and drugs May — Dreaming By CATHY WILSON May is probably my most favorite month of the year. Spring, long awaited, has arrived! This year more than ever before, it is especially wel- coming because our winter was windy, wet and long. I am thankful for the abundant rainfall we received and the usual killer frosts were much less severe than the previous winter. This is the time that our gardens Courtesy photo Bottom from left: YM Pvt. Logan Wilkinson, YM Pvt. Steven Becker,YM Cpl Alex Chavez, YM Sgt. Reina Coley, YM Pvt. Vance Crane, YM Pvt.

The Tehama County Young Marines had a booth at the Children's Fair on Saturday where they showed videos and distributed information about the Young Marines. They handed out literature on how to speak with your child about drugs, how to say no and mean it, and other useful tips on parenting. The Young Marines per- formed Community Service helping with traffic and parking control, and garbage detail after the event ended.

Our perennials seem more robust and vigorous than previ- ous years. Flowers have seemingly emerged from nowhere and fra- grance is in the air. Our senses are overfilled and our spirits are lifted. There is a spring in our step. Gardening chores seem to be a welcome task. Weeds are easy to hand pull. Our garden is a joy to visit, a place to daydream or "May-dream" if you will. It’s a time to take garden tours or simply visit homes of your friends. It’s a time to enjoy life. Sunny borders are boasting of roses, irises, snap dragons, poppies and pansies. There are additional blooms of Jupiter’s Beard, Santa Barbara Daisy, Transvaal Daisy, Love-In-A- Mist and Sweet Alyssum. Not to be outdone, shady gardens are also full of bloom at this time. Azaleas, Coral Bells, Foam Flowers, Oxalis, trailing Bacopa, and Impa- tiens provide much color to brighten even the darkest yards. corners of our This is the time to visit our favorite nurseries to find these trea- sures. If you are lucky enough to find the perfect annual or perennial for that certain garden spot, window box or container in six-packs or 4 inch pots, then you have also found a bar- gain. These smaller plants adapt eas- ier to their new environment and suf- fer less from transplant shock. Be sure to disbud them after planting to stimulate root growth. It won’t take long to set out more buds and you will have a more vigorous plant. Since we are having a cooler spring than normal with scattered rain showers, new plantings will have a much easier chance to become established. If you have dreamed of planting a new flower or veggie gar- den, this is the time to do it. Planting before the blazing heat of summer is ideal and guarantees success.

This study will be held Thursday evenings in the church Parish Hall at 7 p.m. continuing through June 16. This study will explore how the Gospel books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John came to be written; how they relate to one another; and how they commu- nicate through their literary structure our understanding of the historic Jesus. This study follows a DVD lecture series led by Professor Luke Timothy Johnson, profes- sor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. Prof. John- son holds a Masters in Divinity in Theology and an M.A. in Religious Studies. A former Benedictine monk, he has written over 20 books. St. Peter’s is at 510 Jefferson St., on the corner of Jefferson and Elm, in Red Bluff. For more details con- tact the church office at 527-5205 or stpeters@sbc- global.net. Rare plants treasure hunt Mount Lassen Chapter, California Native Plant Society, will host native plant enthusiasts at a Rare Plant Treasure Hunt at Salt Creek Saddle on the eastern edge of the Mendocino National Forest on Sunday, May 22. This will be an event focused on locating and docu- menting rare plant populations in an area that is a hot spot of rare plant diversity that hasn't been documented by botanists in more than 10 years. There are nine dif- ferent rare plant species at this site, including Jepson's milkvetch and dimorphic snapdragon. The hunt is a new statewide effort initiated by the California Native Plant Society to update data on rare plants and their associated habitats. Experienced botanists are teamed with amateurs to conduct searches for new and historic rare plant populations. Participants can survey for rare plants in areas with little history of botanical exploration, relocate historic rare plant occur- rences and update known occurrences of high-priority rare plants. Up-to-date information on rare plants and their habi- tats is needed to inform conservation actions and to aid planning efforts. The status of many rare plant occur- rences is unknown, and thousands have not been docu- mented for decades. Meet at Chico Park & Ride west lot at 8 a.m. The alternate meeting location is Salt Creek Conservation Camp, 10655 Round Valley Road at 9:30 a.m. The trip will take the whole day; bring plenty of water and food. The local botanist says this is not a gentle stroll through a lovely meadow, but also not arduous. Reser- vations are required. Send an email to rcoley64@com- cast.net to RSVP or for more information.
