2A Daily News – Thursday, June 23, 2011 Community people&events Eagle - Olsen An Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Mark Edward Olsen was held June 11, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Red Bluff. Mark, a member of troop 19, earned 33 merit badges. He also received an On My Honor award for attaining religious goals and a Den Chief award for working with cub scouts. He will soon receive a gold palm award, given to scouts who have shown leadership skills and earned more than the required 21 merit badges to become an Eagle Scout. Only 2 percent of scouts become Eagle Scouts. Mark expressed gratitude to the many people who helped him. Dr. Scott Malan and Ed Barnes were honored, receiving mentor awards for helping Mark achieve his goal. Barnes has been an active Boy Scout leader for 54 years. To become an Eagle Scout was a special challenge for Mark. He was a member in a special education class for five years, because of a learning disability. He was chal- lenged by poor coordination and didn’t walk until he was two. Mark had to fight discouragement and at times want- ed to quit scouts. Mark's Eagle Scout service project included seeking donations to purchase items for hygiene kits for wounded military personnel who are hospitalized. Each kit con- tained 14 items and they were put together and boxed for shipment by fellow scouts and volunteers, under Mark’s direction. Mark received $1,000 from Walmart, $300 from Dollar Tree and donations from individuals. Mark has received special thanks for his contribution from the Air Force and Department of Defense. Mark was inspired to choose this service project in honor of his sister Jennifer Olsen, who joined the Army in 2010. She is scheduled to go to Afghanistan in 2012. Mark is the son of Bruce Jr. and Carol Olsen. His grandparents are Bruce and Gerry Olsen of Red Bluff, and Louise Rau of Chico.

All winners at flower show By KATHY BRAMHALL I congratulate all the winners of Red Bluff Garden Club’s 50th Stan- dard Flower Show an "Elegant Affair." I feel the biggest winners were visitors who were treated to elegant, sometimes whimsical, vignettes/slices of life by Designer Vicki Civello, Co-chairman Sharon Eliggi, and other creative hard- working club members. The stage vignette depicted a lovely park set- ting with handsome plants provided by Home Depot. The hundreds of horticulture entries only added to the delight for both exhibitors and visitors. One hundred three rose entries graced the tables in the Rose Sec- tion—stately Hybrid Teas to dainty Miniatures. Winner of the Award of Merit for Roses was Tina Wiertzba for her lovely pink blend Hybrid Tea ‘California Dreamin’’. Everything from dainty dianthus to fluffy peonies was entered in the Flat, Round Forms Section. Mary Reynolds’ Peony ‘Festiva Maxi- ma’, pure white with tiny red splotches, took the Award of Merit. Vickie Gray’s Digitalis/Fox Glove ‘Candy Mountain’ won the Award of Merit in the Spike Forms Section. This was the first of three top awards for Vickie’s horticultur- al accomplishments. Civello’s Cotinus/Smoke Tree won the Arboreal Award. Not many entries in the Edibles Section with our colder/wetter spring but those entered were out- standing. The Special Award was given to a hardy Red Kale grown by Vickie Gray. The Spray Forms Section includ- ed Aquilegia/Columbine, Heuchera/Coral Bells, and a lavish- ly variegated Malva/Mallow grown by Fran Galantine which won the Award of Merit. In the Vines Section, Vickie Gray’s specimen of Pink Jasmine won a President’s Special Award. Cut herb specimens where a hit with visitors as the scents are always inviting. Members went all out with Con- tainer-grown Plants. Handsome An impressive specimen of Ruta/Rue "Herb-of- Grace" grown by Millie Zink won the Award of Merit in this section. Tall bearded irises beckoned vis- itors to the Bulbs, Corms, Rhi- zomes, & Tubers Section. Entries included Tall Bearded Iris in bril- liant colors, Dutch Iris, Watsonia, and Callas in old-fashioned white and two-tone ‘Green Goddess’. Joie Raymond’s magnificent 3ft tall iris aptly named ‘Golden Candle’ took the top award. Visitors got a quick lesson in tree/shrub identification in the Arboreal Branches section. Vicki Asparagus Ferns, Rex and Angel- wing Begonias, Cactus and Succu- lents, African Violets, and of course Orchids filled out the section. Brian Sincaglia won the Grower’s Choice Award & the Award of Hor- ticultural Excellence for his incred- ible Brassia orchid. The Grower’s Choice Award in the Combination Plantings Section was won by Diane Cleland for her creative combination of Anigozan- thos/Kangaroo Paw, Heuchera/Coral Bells, & Sutera/"Snowstorm".

The team col- lects, sorts and garners the proceeds from the recy- clables. The Team’s mottos is “Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!” The men place and service the recycling containers around large venue events, provide litter service, and encourage attendees to use recycling containers. The recycling program is an innovative and unique program that most fair- grounds do not offer. The Team will provide recycling services at the following events this year: • Red Bluff Farmers’ Markets • Illumination Festival Volleyball clinic The Super Fun Mercy Volleyball Clinic will be held July 18-21 at the Mercy High Gym for students entering sixth through ninth grade. Clinic for the sixth and seventh-grade students will be from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. while eighth- and ninth-grade stu- dents will be noon to 3 p.m. •P.A.T.H. Yard Sale for Women & Children • Crawdad Festival •River Park Festival • 4th of July Fireworks Show • Professional Bull Rid- ers • 91st Annual Tehama District Fair • 14th Annual West Coast Monster Truck Nationals • St. Elizabeth’s Health Fair • Career Day The team is hugely suc- cessful and collected and sorted 443.60 pounds of recyclables during the Red Bluff Round-Up alone. The team has made significant progress in eliminating lit- ter and reducing waste oth- erwise destined for the landfill. PATH hopes taking part in this collaboration will help return men in the Path- ways Program to work. Mark Eidman, Tehama District Fairgrounds CEO, is impressed with the qual- ity of work provided by the team. He stated the pro- gram “is a wonderful way to tie together many agen- cies in a cooperative effort. We hope the PATH Pro- gram and its workers gain as much from this effort as we do. The possibilities to expand the program are immense, as more than 200 events are held at the fair each year.” Kristina Miller, Landfill Agency Manager agreed. It is amazing what a commu- nity can accomplish when they work in partnership together. To coordinate recycling services by the team, call the PATH program director at 736-3959. PATH appreciates the cooperation of all the other agencies to make this pro- ject so successful. COMMUNITY CLIPS Cost, which includes a shirt, is $40 at the door or $35 if pre-registered by June 27.
