Welcome to the 100th issue of Enjoy Magazine! One hundred deadlines, more than 1,800 headlines. One hundred opportunities to collect stories about some of the North State’s greatest treasures, surround those words with stunning photography and graphics, and package them into this publication that started as a pipedream. Without further ado, we invite you to enjoy this month’s offerings. Meet Paige Pearce, a 19-year-old from Red Bluff who has traveled the globe and come home with a world championship in archery. She achieved the highest score ever recorded by a woman in the history of the sport. Meanwhile, learn more about Cael Weston, who used a machete to clear the jungle trail from his Costa Rica home to the back pasture to milk cows — and today, he owns one of the top tech services companies in the region. Fellow entrepreneurs Bob Manley and Bruce Dean used to pay themselves with quarters from the jukebox at their very first diner in Mount Shasta, and now Black Bear Diner is 67 restaurants strong. Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet? They might need a little edit, and we can help. Our tips will help make your resolutions realistic. And in honor of our 100th issue, we’ve gathered 100 fascinating tidbits about our area. (Did you know the CEO of In-N-Out Burger grew up in Shingletown, or that Babe Ruth hit two home runs out of Dunsmuir City Park?) We hope you love the whimsical cover by local illustrator Jefferson Thomas—just the second illustrated cover in Enjoy history. And please take a stroll down memory lane on page 16, where you’ll find each of the other 99 covers that we’ve featured over the years, along with some fun facts about our journey toward this milestone. Many thanks to our readers, advertisers and everyone who puts this magazine together for your faithful support. We appreciate you, times one hundred!

Co-owner/publisher Michelle Adams’ daughter has been on two, her husband’s hands were on one and her dog has been on one. • Editor in chief Ronda Ball’s daughter, Jenna, and granddaughter, Delaney, have both been on a cover. • Enjoy the Store employee Kim Acuña’s husband was on our “chalk art” cover. • Hannah Leone, who was a summer intern, was used for our 5th anniversary cover. • Beauty writer Melissa Gulden was drinking coffee on a cover. • Copy editor/writer Kerri Regan’s sons Eric and Zach were fishing on a cover. • Two covers were photographed by contest winners Jessica McCollam and Kathi Corder. • The Sundial Bridge didn’t make it on the cover until July 2014. • Photographer Kara Stewart’s daughters Shailen and Chloe have been on several covers but most of the time you don’t see their faces. • Enjoy the Store employee Kimberly Bonéy and her husband, Cleveland, are on the June 2010 cover. At the time of the photo, Kimberly owned and operated Kimberly Nicole Boutique and the photo was taken a month before they were married.
• There have been 2 illustrated covers, including the one on this issue. • Co-owner/publisher Michelle Adams has not been on any covers, but has been asked plenty of times if she has. • The cherry tree was Photoshopped onto the April 2007 cover, as was the balloon on the February 2010 cover. • The most difficult cover to shoot was the July 2008 cover with Jeneil Buchholz swimming in a pool. Kara had to be held under the water so she could get the shot. Every time she’d go under, she’d float back up. The water was also very cold since the photo was taken at the end of May.
oops!
• The month and date were accidentally omitted from the March 2011 cover. • We Photoshopped flowers on the dress of the girl on the June 2011 cover to add more color. • The girl in the lower right hand corner of the November 2009 cover was not in the original photo and was Photoshopped in. • The Fly Shop’s Michael Caranci has provided two photos for our covers. Can you guess which ones they are? • We usually give the photographer an idea of what we want for the covers. The photographer typically finds the people they shoot but once in a while we’ll suggest someone. • We put the magazines together more than a month before they are seen by you. The snow on the January 2008 cover is not real. The leaves on the November 2014 cover were given more of a warm, yellow/orange tone with Photoshop because at the time the photo was taken, the leaves on the trees were still pretty green and there weren’t a lot of leaves on the ground.4 continued on page 18

N T I M E Z A AM THE HINT OF MINT in your toothpaste, latte or body wash might have come from peppermint plants grown in the North State. Or maybe not. It’s tough to tell with mint. Unlike a hay crop that’s baled and trucked to a specific buyer, the final destination of peppermint oil is elusive. “We produce a crop and don’t know where it goes,” says Mike McKoen, an owner of Three M Mint in the Tule Lake Basin. “We are somewhat in the dark.” Dan Brosten, purchasing agent for A.M. Todd Co. headquartered in Kalamazoo, Mich., says peppermint oils from different regions – each with unique characteristics – are blended. The concoction depends on how the blend will be used. A lot of peppermint oil ends up in mouthwash and toothpaste. It also is featured in gum, candy, energy drinks, liqueurs, beauty products and pharmaceuticals. Fall River Valley and Tule Lake Basin are the only places
in California where peppermint is a commercial crop. The herbaceous perennial is mostly grown in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and the Midwest. The Northern California region, which includes parts of Shasta, Siskiyou, Lassen and Modoc counties, is just a small slice of the peppermint pie but its oil has a reputation for quality. “Our climate results in oil that is very desirable in the mint industry,” says Travis Corder, general manager of Corder Farms in McArthur. “The stuff out of Northern California does have a nice uniqueness to it,” Brosten says. The reputation for quality is the essence of why growers in the region remain in the peppermint game. “The only reason we are in the business is because of the quality of our oil. We cannot produce and compete with low-cost producers in Washington and Idaho that produce on a much, much larger scale,” McKoen says.4 continued on page 22

Oil is extracted from chopped leaves at farmer-owned distilleries. The nuances of the oil reflect growing conditions. Peppermint (Mentha piperita) likes lots of long, warm days and cool nights during the growing season. “It does well here,” says farmer Allen Albaugh of Pittville. Albaugh is known as the grandfather of peppermint in Fall River Valley. He planted the first peppermint in the late 1980s. Albaugh wanted to see how peppermint worked as a rotation crop – something Eastern Shasta County farmers could add to the mix of producing crops like hay or garlic. Diversification is important because pests and diseases build up in fields where the same crop grows year after year. Mint interest spread. At one point there were 18 or so peppermint growers, Albaugh says. That’s down to four. “It’s had its ups and downs. You’re kind of at the mercy of the people who buy your product,” Albaugh says. The crop shrank from some 2,000 acres to 300 to 400 acres in the valley, Corder says. “Hopefully that trend will change, but time will tell.” Nationwide, farms are consolidating, resulting in larger operations controlling more acreage. And that makes it difficult for small growers to compete. North State growers face competition from lower-priced imported oil, mostly from India, as well as synthetic oil. Root borers

and late spring frosts are additional difficulties. “It certainly has been challenging, but we’re doing it, so I guess you could say it’s worked out well,” McKoen says. He and his father, Leo, were the first to bring peppermint to the Tule Lake Basin. They started growing it in 1996. “We’re always interested in a new opportunity and it seemed like a new adventure,” McKoen says. As in the Fall River Valley, others joined in but not all have stayed with peppermint. “I would say we’ve lost about half a dozen growers,” McKoen says. “It sort of peaked in 2008 and 2009, and now it’s pretty steady,” says Rob Wilson, director of the University of California Intermountain Research and Extension Center in Tulelake. McKoen says close to 3,000 acres of peppermint in the basin are grown for oil, with another 1,000 acres in production for dried tea leaves. Peppermint is not a silver-bullet crop. But for farmers who grow wheat, barley, oats, onions, potatoes or alfalfa, it’s “another crop to bring into the rotation,” Wilson says. “I think it is a crop that is here to stay,” he says. • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding.

BRUCE DEAN AND BOB MANLEY WANT YOU to make yourselves at home when you come to their place. Pop a couple quarters into the jukebox and spin your favorite oldies. Peruse the vintage newspaper that serves as the menu. Sip your coffee slowly. And the food? It’s like a bear hug for your appetite. It’s been 20 years since Dean and Manley cobbled together enough money to open the first Black Bear Diner in Mount Shasta. “For the first year, every Monday we took the quarters out of the jukebox and that was our pay,” Dean says. “Bob poured coffee and I cooked. We both lost 40 pounds because we were working so hard we didn’t eat.” But they hoped they had the recipe for success. Dean had worked in the restaurant industry since he was 15, working at Sambo’s as a cook through graduate school. He knew he wanted to serve family-style comfort food. The only thing he was missing was a catchy idea. Enter Dean’s longtime friend Manley, who grew up in Mount Shasta and worked as a speech pathologist, teacher and wilderness guide. “I was a restaurant guy and he was a concept guy—a dreamer type guy,” Dean says. “He became enchanted with black bears as a wilderness guide, and he and his wife had owned Black Bear Gallery in Mount Shasta.” Manley translated that affinity into a restaurant idea, complete with a log cabin look, handcarved wooden bears out front, a hand-painted mural and rib-sticking food that does a pretty convincing job of making you feel like you’re enjoying a meal right out of Grandma’s kitchen. The pair doubled down on their concept when they opened their second restaurant in 1997 —the one in Redding. They took over Harry’s Restaurant, opening as Black Bear Diner the day after Harry’s closed. “We hung up a few pictures, put a few carved bears out there and put our menu in,” Dean says.4 continued on page 26

Just like in Mount Shasta, customers kept coming, so they dipped their toes in a little deeper. “We went into Gilroy and the response was huge,” Dean says. “It was really busy and people really liked it. Then we went into Napa and Walnut Creek. Now we have a more scientific approach—we look at demographics and traffic studies and things like that. Before, it was just in our stomach: ‘I think we can do good there.’” Today, Black Bear Diner has 67 restaurants in eight states and employs 22,000 people. They’ve been named one of the top 200 restaurant chains in America, an industry benchmark. “We’re growing our dream one by one,” says Dean, who also chairs the California Restaurant Association. “When we started, we were happy that anybody wanted us anywhere ... Now we’ve gravitated to larger markets, and we’ll keep growing as long as people want to keep coming. But we’re still the same guys we were when we started.” As Chief Operating Officer, Dean oversees the business, franchise and menu development. He created many of Black Bear’s recipes, and he’s the guy who insists on “bear-sized” portions of good old-fashioned comfort food. Manley is the Chief Brand Officer who ensures that each Black Bear features the warm, comforting look and feel of the original diner. But each location has a unique personality, which is first showcased by the huge wooden bear at the entrance. Ray Schulz of Washington has carved more than 200 of these

bears with a chainsaw, and each represents something unique about the area. At the Signal Hill restaurant near Long Beach, the bear wears a hard hat to symbolize the city’s history of being dotted with oil derricks. Other bears carry skis or fishing poles. “We’ve really kept him busy,” Dean says. Each diner is also decorated with a mural that represents the area in some way. The first was painted by Steve and Gary Fitzgerald, and today Colleen Mitchell-Veyna of Visalia is responsible for these personal touches that are designed to make folks feel at home at their business, which is truly a family affair. Dean and his wife, Michelle, have six children, including Joanna, Black Bear’s office and information technology manager. Manley and his wife, Laurie, have two children, both of whom are involved in the Siskiyou County operations. “We want to give people good food and a place they can relax their soul a little bit, as my partner says,” Dean says. “It’s an old fashioned place; it’s not trendy. Hopefully people have been coming here for years and years, and will be coming for years and years into the future.” • www.blackbeardiner.com

The Red Bluff native has recently taken the world championship in archery and achieved the highest score ever recorded by a woman in the history of the sport. “Setting the world record was more exciting than winning the world championships,” she says. She’s been breaking records since age 11 and was ready to step it up to the world level. “My parents were both professionals, so they started me when I was 2,” she says. She broke the state record at 11 and says, “At that point, I got serious.” She holds 110 state, national and world records. “A lot of it is your mental game and how you handle pressure,” she says. “I’m really good at that and I handle pressure well.” She handles
it so well, in fact, that she scored 559 out of 560 points on the final day of the International Field Archery Association World Championships in South Dakota last August. In a day of competition, contestants shoot 112 arrows worth five points each. She competes with a compound bow, which is not allowed at the Olympics, where only recurve bows are used. “World Championship is the highest thing you can do besides the Olympics,” she says. There are multiple national organizations in archery which focus on different styles of competition. Pearce competes in all of them, and excels in everything from shooting at close to long range with marked or unmarked targets. “Usually people will stick with one association,” she says. “I do all of them. That’s why my schedule is so crazy.” It’s a schedule that has her traveling the world. Her first international competition was in Turkey at age 13. She’s been shooting in the adult division since that age.4 continued on page 30 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 29
“IF I WAS WINNING, I’D WANT TO FEEL LIKE I EARNED IT,” SHE SAYS OF HER EARLY JUMP IN AGE BRACKETS. “IF YOU SHOOT WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE BETTER THAN YOU, YOU SHOOT UP TO THEIR LEVEL.” “If I was winning, I’d want to feel like I earned it,” she says of her early jump in age brackets. “If you shoot with people that are better than you, you shoot up to their level.” “A lot of the reason she’s good with pressure is she grew up doing pageants and playing fiddle,” says Stacy Pearce, Paige’s mom. Of archery, she says, “It’s kept us together as a family and kept our kids out of trouble.” Keeping the family together has been a priority, and one that found Stacy and husband Kevin passing up an opportunity to be on Wife Swap. “I knew they would put us with someone who was against hunting and make my husband take all the trophy heads off the wall,” she says. “There would be no way.” The Pearce family enjoys big game hunting and participates with both compound bows and rifles. Brother Kaden, a sophomore, particularly enjoys the sport. Paige blew through high school in two years and is currently a student at Cal Northern School of Law in Chico. She has already completed an associate in arts degree in criminal justice from Shasta College. She’s chosen law so she can make a decent living and continue to compete on the professional archery circuit. There is a downside to her studies at the moment, however. “I’ve definitely given up a huge chunk of my shooting time to go to school,” she says. She didn’t re-qualify for the U.S. Archery Team in 2014 because she missed competitions due to her studies. Archery has seen a recent rise in interest due largely to the young adult book and movie series “Hunger Games” and the animated film, “Brave.” The Pearces do their best to help others get involved. Stacy is a trainer for National Archery in Schools and teaches sixth graders the sport at Berrendos School’s science camp. Paige notes that her home has become a gathering place for

enthusiasts of the sport and says, “We help anyone that needs help with their bow stuff at our house.” So what does a young woman do when she’s already shattered world records in her chosen sport by the age of 19 and has already made it to law school? “Stay at the top,” she says. “Keep doing well.” No doubt she’ll soon be adding filler pages to that passport. • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

INSPIRATION | STORY AND PHOTOS BY PAUL BOERGER
Humanity HORSES P R OT E C T I N G O U R F O U R- L E G G E D F R I E N D S THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIKE ANIMALS, care about them and even delight in their company. And then there are the folks at Humanity for Horses, who truly love animals, especially horses. Founded in 2012 in response to the practice of putting down abused, sick or otherwise discarded horses, the Humanity for Horses Sanctuary in Siskiyou County offers medical treatment, rehabilitation, a home for life and above all, extraordinary caring that goes beyond what even the most ardent animals lovers feel. Humanity for Horses was founded by Denali Jordan when she became aware of horse abuse and a federal law was passed, since repealed, that allowed horses to be put down. She met with the Sheriff ’s Department and Animal Control, and Humanity for Horses for was born. “It was a calling,” Jordan says. “Horses are divine messengers. Gandhi said a nation is judged by how it treats animals. We’re at 151 acres and we’re not going to stop.” Sanctuary supervisor Dylan Coleman has a deep and profound respect for horses. “Why the horse?” Coleman asks. "They are pure love, graceful, beautiful, loyal, soulful. We owe them for what they have given and continue to give humanity. They make the world a better place. Spend some time with a horse and you will feel calm, happy and loved. If that
is not worth fighting for and protecting, then I do not know what is.” The sprawling sanctuary has rescued 200 horses and 163 other animals, including goats, rabbits, alpacas, llamas, donkeys and mules. The horses are housed in large pasture-like corrals with a size-appropriate shelter. Rescued wild Mustangs, for example, have 200-by-400foot corrals. The smallest corral is 50 by 50 feet. The senior section provides heating for older horses. Every care that can be taken is applied at the sanctuary. For a horse that came in with injured hooves, for example, the staff softened the corral’s ground to ease the healing process. Laura Maddy is on the horse care team and has spent her entire life around horses. Her family owned 1,000 horses and she owns 30. “I’m really the horse happiness supervisor,” Maddy says with a laugh. As Maddy walks past the corrals, she knows every horse’s name, when it came in, its medical history, what treatments it is getting and its personality. She even knows which horses are boyfriend and girlfriend. Maddy says a big part of the rehabilitation is getting the animals to trust again. She talks to the animals like best friends and they respond by sauntering over for a nuzzle or a kiss.4 continued on page 34

“Some of the horses will choose to be at peace and just live here,” Maddy says. “Some will want to give back and be with humans again. I can see the change take place.” Maddy explains that the nonprofit sanctuary has a special thoroughbred program for racehorses that are no longer able to perform. “We have some very expensive horses,” Maddy says. “If the race horses are injured or aren’t fast enough, they become disposable. We work with the California Retirement Management Account for Thoroughbreds to make sure that doesn’t happen.” In addition to that group, the sanctuary liaisons with the Sheriff ’s Department, Animal Control, the Humane Society and takes individual referrals. The organization is accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. A new program in the works will bring seniors and special needs children to the sanctuary to interact with the horses. “Children are empowered by being with large animals. It builds selfesteem and self-worth,” Maddy says. “We’ve had some seniors here and they love the place.” • Humanity for Horses, Mount Shasta (530) 926-9990 www.humanityforhorses.org

Chapter THE BOOK BARN IN RED BLUFF THOSE OF US IN SMALLER NORTH STATE COMMUNITIES have made peace with the fact that occasionally we’ll have to travel to bigger towns for things not available in our area. We resign ourselves to journeys of 30-45 minutes every so often to take care of needs we just can't meet at home. Sometimes, though, we just don’t want to travel. A few intrepid entrepreneurs will do something about it. They’ll bravely open a store in their home town, hoping others will decide to shop local for their particular product. Such is the case with Jack and Linda Gaines, proprietors of Red Bluff ’s Book Barn, a used bookstore celebrating 14 years of keeping Tehama County residents at home for their reading needs. In 1991, the couple arrived in Red Bluff after evaluating their Southern California lifestyle and realizing they wanted out of the rat race. Jack's daughter's husband had died suddenly, sending shock waves through the couple. “Maybe we should change our lives now and enjoy our lives before something happens,” Linda recalls thinking.4 continued on page 38
JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 37
A land ad in a trade paper attracted them to Red Bluff. “We didn’t have any idea what we were going to do when we got here,” she adds. “For the first year we just goofed off.” They started building a workshop for Jack, but she says, “If it got hot, we’d go to the lake.” “We didn’t even feel like we needed a vacation for the first couple of years because we felt like were on vacation,” she says. “It was so beautiful.” Eventually, though, they knew it was time to figure out an income. Neither were anywhere near retirement age. “We were always going to Redding and Chico to buy used books,” Linda says, noting that their idea to open the Book Barn was spurred from their own quest. They bought a vacant building and put a small metal building on it for their store. “We did a lot of the construction work ourselves,” she says. Then they rented a truck and set out for Montana, Sacramento and Long Beach to buy out inventories of used bookstores. They opened with 18,000 titles, “which looked really puny on all of these shelves,” says Linda.
38 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
“But they began to fill up quickly with people coming in to trade.” Before they knew it, people from other towns were traveling to Red Bluff for their used books. Fourteen years later, Jack and Linda are at a more realistic retirement age. Jack keeps busy in his workshop and with long-distance bike rides, coming in to the store less and less. Linda keeps up with the bookkeeping but is eager for more time to travel and quilt, a hobby she took up soon after moving to the area, when she fell in with the Sun Country Quilt Guild. An uptick in business three years ago had her realizing that she couldn’t keep up the store on her own. Yet, she wasn’t quite sure how to bring in the help she might need. That all changed, however, when she answered the call of hunger. “I was in town doing errands and I walked into Burger King and ordered lunch,” Linda recalls. She was struck by the professionalism of the young man who took her order and asked him if he was interested in a part-time job. Phillip Moller, that young Burger King employee, wasn't particularly bookish. He'd graduated Red Bluff High School with a dismal grade point average and ended up in
a year of remediation at Shasta College. “It certainly wasn’t from lack of ability; it was a lack of interest,” he says of his high school years. Saying yes to Linda’s offer proved to be a turning point in his life. Quickly moving up from shelving books to taking on more serious responsibilities, it was only a few months before Linda was able to leave the shop to him on his own. Before long, Phillip took an interest in the books he was selling. And he got serious about his studies. Linda and Jack began helping him research high-demand careers and had him job shadow hospital administrators in Southern California. “Every semester he gets his classes lined up and we sit down and figure out our schedule,” says Linda. Today, Phillip is keeping the store going between classes in hospital administration at Chico State. Linda is able to join Jack more often for travels, in complete trust of her protege. “Phillip is family now,” she says. “I couldn’t have done it without working here,” he says with confidence.

from the heart A N N E M U R P H Y, E X E C U T I V E D I R E C TO R O F S H A S TA L A N D T R U S T SHASTA LAND TRUST, A NONPROFIT devoted to protecting open space, has grown steadily since it was founded in 1998, thanks to the dedication of board, staff and volunteers. But Anne Murphy, the new executive director since April, is ready to raise its profile. “I feel like we’re a best-kept secret. Now I think it’s time to take this a little more public and introduce us more to the community so we can get more folks involved in what we do,” she says. “Our broad mission is to conserve the beauty, character and diversity of the land throughout the region,” Murphy says. “We have 11 properties protected now, just under 22,000 acres, so it’s a lot. We’ve protected working agricultural ranches, and that’s something our organization has said is really important: to make sure these operations can continue for generations to come.” Being the head of any nonprofit is a lot of work. But Murphy’s Facebook posts will often show a photo of a scenic open space with the lighthearted caption: “My office for the day.” This eagerness to set out on new adventures may be key in leading her to Redding, a town she previously knew little about. She’s spent the months since she moved here exploring the outdoors, refurbishing her 1970s ranch-style house and making new friends. “It feels like there are endless opportunities here to explore the mountains and the lakes. I hike and kayak. I raced sailboats in Minnesota and I’m looking forward to sailing here,” she says. Murphy hails from a small town in Northern Michigan, where she
grew up on 60 acres. “My parents instilled a sense of the land in me from a very young age,” she recalls. She spent her high school and college years studying biology and piano. “I can’t imagine not having the outdoors as inspiration, so that’s the path I went down for both high school and into college, doing both of those and waiting for that sort of divine inspiration to know which way to go and what to do.”4 continued on page 42
JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 41
She attended Alma College, a small, liberal arts school in Michigan. While working on a hydrogeology project she was exposed to a pesticide that got into her hands and her muscles, so she decided against pursuing piano as a career. After college, she worked at the Little Traverse (Michigan) Conservancy, doing environmental education and stewardship of protected lands. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) was just emerging as a valuable new land-use tool and she wanted to study it further. She ultimately earned a graduate certificate in GIS from Cleveland State University. Conservation easements are the most powerful tools used by a land trust. These legally binding agreements stay with the land and, much like the deeds that transfer from one owner to the next, carry on in perpetuity, no matter who owns the land. Property owners interested in conservation will approach Shasta Land Trust. “What we hear from ranchers is it’s difficult to find large enough pieces of land where you can have your grazing grounds, you can have your water sources, and you can still carry on other activities that support the ranching lifestyle and business. We ensure that these ranches stay intact, carrying on these activities, and we prevent subdivision. That preserves it for future generations that want to get into ranching,” she explains. The land trust recently moved to a building with more office space, a spacious meeting room and even a spot for Lucy, Murphy’s 6-year-old golden retriever, a certified therapy dog who has been designated the land trust’s Happiness Director. A part-time development coordinator, Angela Radford, has been brought on to expand membership, fundraise and cultivate more major donors. “Knowing that every dollar raised goes toward conserving the beauty, character and diversity of some really significant lands here in the North State makes it an exciting time for the land trust,” she says. Change is afoot. The website is newly redesigned, more user-friendly and with more of the region’s beautiful scenery highlighted. An electronic newsletter is being planned. Radford is working with a group of volunteers to organize the Wildways Kickoff Party in February. The signature annual fundraising event includes dinner, drinks, live music and a silent auction. Tammy Douse, a long-time member and volunteer, is helping with the planning. “Wildways is really fun. It’s an opportunity to purchase party tickets that are fundraisers and it’s a way to help support the organization while having a good time,” she says. Funds are raised by selling such events as a catered dinner at a member’s scenic riverside home, or a night camping out under the stars. Murphy sums up her hopes for the future of the land trust: “We’re a community resource, and we want to help connect people to these amazing natural resources we have around us.” • Wildways Party: Saturday, February 21 Tickets go on sale Monday, February 2 www.shastalandtrust.org

F U N , FA N TA S T I C C R I T T E R A R T I can’t help it. I find art every time I hike in the woods or walk on a driftwood-littered beach. I see creatures lurking in bits of wood, branches, roots and stumps. My art is to let the being in the wood emerge and manifest itself in all its innate, fantastic glory. I call my creations “critters” and they cause such excitement from people who see them that I have decided I should share the pleasure. Anyone can create a critter. It may take a little practice to train the eye, but it’s not hard. Children are especially good at it. S T E P 1 : F I N D I N G YO U R C R I T T E R
First take a walk, somewhere that sticks or even logs are lying about – a place where driftwood or trees are in abundance, like a park or hiking trail, or perhaps your own backyard. Look for bits of wood that have what stand out as facial features, such as a protuberance for a nose or indentations for eye sockets. If you can visualize a face attached to a body and it has an appealing character, you have your first critter. Picture it standing up straight or lying down or even hanging. It doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, wood with bumps and scars make more interesting critters. They can be tiny or huge.
S T E P 2 : T E S T I N G F O R D U R A B I L I T Y I suggest gathering several potential critters and taking them home for further consideration, but before packing them into your car, you should throw them on the ground to test their strength and shed any accumulated soil or sand. Those that will easily break are rejects. If you are like me and see critters everywhere, you will have the luxury of selecting the best ones.
S T E P 3 : P R E PA R I N G YO U R C A N VA S Preparing your wooden trophies for paint requires cleaning. Sometimes scrubbing is necessary to remove moss or to remove splinters and loose bark. Then each piece must be rendered free of bugs. One of my students learned this lesson the hard way. She says, “I mailed my brother a wonderful exotic critter I made him for Christmas. When he opened it on Christmas day, out poured a horde of insects and he promptly tossed it into the swimming pool.” Now she soaks each piece for a day in the bath and thoroughly dries it in the sun.
S T E P 4 : P R E PA R I N G TO PA I N T The selection of paint depends on the ultimate use of the critter, either indoors or outdoors. Naturally, outdoor art requires exterior paints and even a coat of clear wood finish. For indoor, acrylic paints and latex are fine. I avoid oil-based paint because I use so many colors that I would waste a lot of time cleaning paint brushes. If I am working with a very large piece such as a log, I cheat and give the whole thing a coat of spray paint before decorating it.
S T E P 5 : B R I N G YO U R C R I T T E R TO L I F E This is the most fun part. Don’t worry about how you will paint a critter, because the critter in the wood will guide you in expressing its true nature. If you go astray and give the critter the wrong personality, it will object. It just doesn’t work. You can always paint over a mistake. Typically, I use a bright red for the mouth, white for the eyes with a black spot in the middle for the pupil, yellow for the nose and any other color for horns. Big eyes work best. In fact, grand gestures in paint seem to work best, while subtlety may be lost. Critters seem to beg for the dramatic. I paint just one color at a time, allowing it to dry before adding the next color to prevent blurring. Often, the best profile does not match the opposite side of the face. No matter. Another student explains, “Each side of the face can have its distinct expression, delightful when the head is turned this way and that.” Indeed, your critter may just be one sided. Moving down the body, I usually start with the most interesting features that I want to highlight, such as bunions and bumps and striation that add character. Most of my works end up spotted and striped in zany patterns and brilliant colors. Your critter may not have arms or legs, and they are not necessary.4 continued on page 46 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 45

STEP 6: S H O W I N G O F F YO U R C R I T T E R S Critters look great in the home and in the garden. Collectors show them off in the house in umbrella stands, leaning on a window sill, crawling on a coffee table or even hung on the wall. My favorite piece was a five-foot-long dragon with extravagant wings and tail, displayed in the dining room of a San Francisco home. In the garden, they are delightful peeking through foliage, perched in trees or standing in groups in planters. The key is imagination. It takes imagination to spot a critter in the rough, to paint it to its fullest glory and to position it to flaunt its unique personality. For that is what critters are all about: Each critter is one of a kind. • Lennie Copeland is the owner of The Ono Store & Café.

Resolution Revolution NEW YEAR
REWORKING THE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS CAN BE dicey business. We all start off the year with the grandest of hopes and dreams, ready to conquer the world, one well-intentioned resolution at a time. On January 1, we stand strong, resolved to change ourselves from the inside out. And yet, right around mid-January, we might already be starting to feel that little voice inside of us wondering if we bit off more than we can chew and begging a most important question: “Do we have to?” Perhaps it isn’t the resolution itself that is flawed, but the way we approach it. Instead of setting ourselves up for failure, we might just need a change of perspective. Modify that resolution from a disappointment-inducing mountain of a goal to a realistic I-can-do-this win that is sure to help you to be your best self in 2015.
| BY KIMBERLY BONÉY
OLD RESOLUTION: I will lose 15 pounds this year (if it kills me). NEW RESOLUTION: I will make more time for physical activity this year. WHAT THIS MEANS: Instead of setting an exact weight loss goal – one that, frankly, isn’t always in your control – try easing into a new healthy mode of diet and exercise. Going to the gym or running on a treadmill for an hour isn’t for everyone. Find an exercise regime that you enjoy - whether it’s biking, walking the River Trail, swimming, roller skating or playing basketball after work – and it’ll become a habit you want to take on and keep for a lifetime. Exercise can be fun. Consider playing a game of tag or hide and seek with your kids outside for 30 minutes or tromping around in the snow at Eskimo Hill for a few hours on a winter’s afternoon and watch your heart rate and your spirit soar.4 continued on page 52

OLD RESOLUTION: I will reconnect with my long-lost (you fill in the blank), even though things ended badly the last time we spoke. NEW RESOLUTION: I will find forgiveness and make my peace with whatever feelings of anger and resentment I have for (enter a loved one’s name here) this year.
WHAT THIS MEANS: Sometimes, reconnecting with loved ones with whom we have had a complicated relationship isn’t as simple as we’d like it to be. We may go in expecting a complete reconciliation when the other party isn’t in the same frame of mind. We can only control our own feelings and responses. Understand that it takes strength and character to apologize but it takes active participation from both sides to repair a broken relationship. If the other person isn’t willing to accept your olive branch of peace, give it anyway. Find peace, forgiveness and closure even if they can’t do the same. Letting go of past hurts is a process that everyone handles differently. Give yourself and the other person the time and space necessary to move on from the pain.
52 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
OLD RESOLUTION: I will take at least one day a week for myself this year. NEW RESOLUTION: This year, I will cherish moments of quiet “me time” when they come. WHAT THIS MEANS: Let’s face it. Our lives are incredibly busy. Between family and friends, work and school, we suffer the loss of “me time.” You may not always be able to take full day per week to spend time doing only what you want to do. But you can find happy “me moments” throughout the day to refresh your mind and spirit when you need it most. Find a bench at your favorite park and enjoy your lunch there. Take a relaxing bubble bath or drink a cup of tea after work. Read a book for 30 minutes before bedtime. It may not seem like much, but 30 minutes of peace may be all the difference you need.4 continued on page 54

OLD RESOLUTION: I will adhere to a strict budget this year and will not buy anything but the necessities. NEW RESOLUTION: I will spend my money more wisely this year and invest in the things I need and a few of the things I want. WHAT THIS MEANS: There is nothing wrong with adhering to a budget. Keeping your finances in order is necessary for living life with peace of mind and is the mark of adulthood. But telling yourself that you can’t treat yourself to something because it’s not “a necessity” might just be the quickest route to binge buying. If you are dieting for months on end and you finally catch a whiff of that freshly baked apple pie, an act of God may not keep you from devouring the entire thing. You work hard. You deserve to treat yourself on occasion. Once in a while, commit to purchasing something that isn’t on the list of necessities. Price the item you have in mind. Go home. Look at your funds. Make a decision about how much you can spend on it and stick to it. Do not make any impulse buys. Walk in with a plan in mind and don’t get distracted from that plan. Get in. Get the item. Get out. Now enjoy your treasure. You’ve earned it.

Health Wise for the New Year
The start of the New Year brings hope for change and opportunities for improvements. Almost half of all the people in the United States that make a New Year’s resolution, resolve to lose weight. Unfortunately, only a small percent of people are successful at meeting their resolution goal. Perhaps that is because a resolution is really just an intention, and to create change we need to actually make a commitment to take action. What if the goal was health and wellness rather than weight loss? Health and wellness is a process that occurs as a result of achieving balance in your life and to achieve balance one must be fit. Fitness is a process that occurs over time. For the average person, a good fitness program consists of exercises that effects the whole body. A cardio work out improves the function and health of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Weight-bearing exercises enhance the function and health of the bones, muscles joints, and connective tissues. New research shows that exercise can help prevent about two-dozen health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, obesity, depression, high blood pressure and dementia. We would like to introduce and welcome Allison Smith-Marshall CTP, CMT to our Greenville Rancheria staff. She is a certified personal trainer and has been teaching group fitness and providing personal training since 2009.
She has successfully motivated people to improve their health and wellbeing using a variety of techniques and strategies that are a part of the fitness philosophy. Here are 10 tips from the Cancer Nutrition Centers of America for achieving your fitness goals that can help you integrate a fitness program into your schedule so you can experience a greater degree of health and wellness in your life. If you would like more information to start your 2015 Health Wise 10 tips, contact Allison at 530-528-8600. 1. Make exercise part of your routine. 2. Give yourself permission to spend time on “You”. 3. Set realistic goals. 4. Hire a Personal Trainer or a workout buddy. 5. Keep your eye on the prize which is the commitment to improve your health. 6. Make it convenient. 7. Fit in workouts even on your “off ” days. 8. Keep it fun. 9. Reward yourself. 10.

OLD RESOLUTION: I will never (enter bad habit here) again. NEW RESOLUTION: I will make a commitment to living a healthier life starting now. WHAT THIS MEANS: Quitting a bad habit can be a frustrating process, not only for you, but for everyone who knows and loves you. If you are attempting to break away from a bad habit, don’t put unrealistic pressure on yourself to break that habit instantly. You certainly didn’t acquire that habit overnight and aren’t likely to get rid of it overnight, either. Start by making a promise to yourself or a loved one that you don’t want to disappoint every morning when you wake up that you won’t (enter bad habit here) today. Today is a realistic goal. It may be hard. It may seem virtually impossible to follow through on your promise. But take it one day at a time. Renew that promise every day. Stay away from whatever (or whoever) triggers your need to participate in the bad habit. If you are a smoker, decide to smoke one cigarette a day until the pack you have is finished and don’t buy another pack. Find an activity that takes your mind off of your need to smoke. Every day it will become easier to keep that commitment to yourself and your loved ones. And next thing you know, that bad habit will be a thing of the past. • Kimberly N.

INSPIRATION
| STORY AND PHOTOS BY JENNIFER HIGHET
G AY L E M A D D E N — L I V I N G E AC H DAY TO THE FULLEST ONE SUNNY AFTERNOON last November, Gayle Madden participated in an author’s fair at the Mt. Shasta Mall. She brought a box of her newly published book, "An Imperfect Life," and hoped to sell a few copies. She didn’t expect crowds at her table, or that she would, in the first hour, sell every book she had, including her own copy. “I would have been happy even if we sold four or five,” she says with a laugh. “I am humbled.” To see her smile and hear her speak, one would never know that she is living on borrowed time. Diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in 2011, Madden was given only a few months to live. The news astonished everyone who knew her; she led a very healthy life. She practiced yoga, hiked, went on 100mile bike rides, and ate well. How could this have happened? That is a question she explores in her memoir, a book that is about so much more than cancer.4 continued on page 58 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 57
"Will one choose to live until she dies, or will one choose to die until she dies?
I have chosen to live until I die." While undergoing surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, she redoubled her efforts to live each day to the fullest. And for a time she was cancer-free. It seemed she’d looked death in the eye and triumphed. Raised in Redding, Madden taught middle school for 22 years. She met her husband one sweltering summer’s day while rafting on the Sacramento River. Having heard her lament the luscious berries they were passing, a handsome fellow rafter offered a small bundle of the fruit he had picked upon landing. That first meeting with Michael produced what Gayle terms “twitterpation.” Married in 2004, the couple has visited 23 countries, with Switzerland being a favorite. “Not only because of the Alps,” Madden says, “but two of our best friends live there.” Staying with friends meant living “among the locals,” a very pleasurable experience. Since the return of her cancer, there’s been no more world travel. However, she’s “given up the idea that a desired outcome needs to look a certain way. As I continue to live my life, I’m open to new adventures and ideas. I’m inspired by the suffering endured by the people who have passed before me."
“I now know what suffering is, consequently, I now know what joy is. We all have each inside; it is up to us where we place our focus.” Michael has been her biggest supporter and caretaker, though he grieves because he cannot fix this illness. Finally, she asked him if he’d done the best for her that he could, and he said that he had. “Then there is nothing more you can do, but love me.” Madden is fiercely independent, and learning to rely on others is difficult. She maintains a positive attitude “by being able to receive the love and support that is being
58 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
offered; by asking for help when I need it; by inspiring others to live a more satisfying life; by being gentle with myself; by loving life so fiercely that I am willing to experience all of it—even death.” One way she’s inspired others is through her blog, La Dolce Vita. Followers from all over the world have shared her triumphs and sorrows over the last three years. “It’s given me confidence to be who I am. I’ve carried that freedom over to my book. I have unashamedly exposed who I am inside. It feels good to be happy with myself." Madden spent three years working on her book. “I have a story to tell: the story of man’s eternal wrestle with life vs. death and how each person must ultimately choose. Will one choose to live until she dies, or will one choose to die until she dies? I have chosen to live until I die and part of living is to inspire others to do the same.” Writing a memoir while enduring a terminal illness led to profound insights. “There are many ways we twist events and reactions into self-doubt and self-recrimination,” Madden observes. “We strive to be perfect in an imperfect world, in an imperfect life, because we blame ourselves for not being worthy. It is only when we shed our misbeliefs that we truly begin to live life. It is only when we embrace ourselves, love who we are—unconditionally—that we truly begin to love. Then, and only then, will we be true lovers of life.” • Madden’s book “An Imperfect Life: A Memoir About Life, Love and Laughter—But Most of All, Love” is available at Bleu Pom inside the Oregon Street Antique Mall. www.gaylemadden.com.

MAVIS STAPLES BEGIN SINGING as a child when her father, Roebuck “Pops” Staples, organized her and her siblings into the family Staple Singers band that moved from its roots in the church in the 1950s to the front lines of the struggle for civil rights in the ‘60s. Whether sung at mass meetings, on marches and sit-ins or on stage, freedom songs have always conveyed the moral urgency of this country’s continual campaign for racial justice and equality. The Staple Singers performed at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s events during the ‘60s. The spiritual songs they sang and wrote often served as a metaphor for the civil rights struggle, lamenting the unfairness and racism they faced every day. While her father created a style of guitar playing that would influence the music world for decades to come, Mavis Staples’ voice would be forever etched in the memory of those who heard her sing. The Staple Singers began to get noticed for their unique sound, crossing paths along the way with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Peter,
Paul, and Mary, who were hugely influential on the Staple Singers. “If I could relive one day in my life,” says Staples, “it would be when I first met Dr King. From then, we began writing freedom songs. We started marching with him; we’d sing before he spoke at meetings. I’ve met presidents, Obama, Clinton, Carter, I even met President Kennedy, but none of them topped Dr. King. “If I could go back and do that all over again, God have mercy, I certainly would. To meet this great man, shake his hand, to be in his presence. For him to love our music, I can’t ever forget that. I can’t ever live that down. That was my greatest moment." She last saw him a month before he was assassinated. “Kids today need to know he was a man who went out and risked his life to make it a better place for them, went to jail, was beat down and stabbed and in the end shot and killed,” she says. “There's still injustice in the world today,” Staples says. “I’m still on that freedom highway, and I’m going to walk on it until Dr. King's4 continued on page 62 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 61
dream is realized. I don’t know if I’ll see the day we can come together and stop the racial hatred, but I might. In the past, I’d said I didn’t think I’d ever see a black president, and I did. You never know what tomorrow brings, so I’m just going to keep on with what I know is right.” At 75, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee continues to enjoy a long solo recording and touring career, acclaim and new audiences, performing at the White House and headlining the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. The past few summers have found her featured among the hip acts at the Lollapalooza and Nelsonville music festivals. This late-in-life renaissance has been boosted in part by two wellreceived new albums produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy (“You Are Not Alone” in 2010 and “One True Vine,” 2013). “One True Vine” reminds her of singing with her family, and she always tries to record at least one song on her albums that was written by her father, who died in 2000. The album includes “I Like the Things About Me,” a song in which her dad used to sing the lead, when The Staple Singers were doing their thing. More recently, she teamed with Public Enemy rapper Chuck D on “Give We the Pride,” a self-empowerment song built around Staples’ cries of “We need pride to survive!" The two artists found a common denominator in their belief that hip-hop and young people in general
62 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
need more pride. The soulful cut challenges hip-hop artists and their listeners to reach higher and do better. The song is on Chuck D’s latest album, “The Black In Man.” “These people in the music industry have put me in so many categories,” says Staples. “They put me in Americana and gospel and R&B and blues. Now, they’re going to have to add hip-hop, and I love it.” • Friday, January 16 Laxson Auditorium, Chico State University www.chicoperformances.com

FASHION TRENDS
| BY KIMBERLY BONÉY
FASHION FORWARD F I N D YO U R P E R F ECT ACC E SSO RY A FASHION ACCESSORY can be quite an enigma. It’s rather puzzling how a piece that was initially created to play the background has suddenly become the most sought-after element in any given fashion ensemble. Wellselected and stylishly worn accessories can be the best investments of your time, energy and finances. Let us help you choose wisely as you step fashionably into 2015.4 continued on page 66 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 65
BOLD IS BETTER. Remember those dainty little minimalist-inspired necklaces that were all the rage in 2014? Don’t toss them out yet. They are still perfectly viable for this year’s look, but do find a way to layer them amongst other necklaces whenever possible. There are no hard-and-fast layering rules. Feel free to mix your metals, chain lengths and textures to create a style that is uniquely yours. Unexpected combinations of layered chains and chunky baubles are at the heart of all that is fabulous in the realm of jewelry this year. Perhaps the most interesting thing about 2015’s take on jewelry is the unabashed way it mixes organic materials like natural stones and leather with high-shine metallics. And no time of day is too early to don your bling. Wake up. Get dressed. Rock your boldest jewels. Repeat.
BAG SOME COOL POINTS. This year, bags are doing far more than just schlepping your stuff around. They are catching eyes, turning heads and dropping jaws. From the oversized satchels, totes and bucket styles that dominated the runways at fashion week to functional cross-body styles and the updated clutch bag, complete with a wrist or hand strap, your stylish bag will be your new best friend. This is the prime opportunity to play with a bold color, pattern or shape (round ones are all the rage), even if you prefer to keep your clothing structurally basic or neutral in color. A word to the wise: even though big bags are in, you don’t need to carry the kitchen sink in yours. The bag should carry your essentials and leave room to hold an extra layer of clothing, perhaps a cardigan or a scarf. Your shoulders and back will thank you later. EMBODY YOUR INNER SUPERWOMAN. Wearing as many hats as you do – wife, mom, teacher, taxi driver, coach, counselor, chef (you get the picture) —you are a superhero. Why shouldn’t you have a cape to match? Get the visual of a wave of red satin blowing in the wind behind you out of your mind. We don’t mean that kind of cape. We do, however, mean a stylish, bold rendition that is sure to be your go-to accessory this season. Also: see poncho. Whatever you want to call it, call it stunning. Long, mid-length or short, wear one with your favorite dress, denim or sleek leggings. It’ll look great with leather riding boots, calf-length stiletto boots, closed-toe pumps or the gladiator-style “shootie”.
66 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
GET COZY. Knit elements are a classic bet you can always count on. Timeless and functional for cold weather locales, knit is finding new and interesting ways to warm our hearts. A knit infinity scarf, slouchy hat or headband is sure to keep you bundled up and beautiful during the North State’s winter cold snaps. Ivory is a go-to neutral that can be worn with virtually anything in your closet. But living in a world full of beige on a regular basis can be boring. In addition to the neutral of your choice, pick up a few knit elements in bold colors to chase the winter blues away. Need a new way to wear your knit? Seek out a stylish and snuggly pair of leg warmers. They’ll tuck in perfectly to the tops of your boots and give a sassy burst of texture over leggings or tights. Don’t be surprised if you see people looking down to notice them as you strut by. SPEAKING OF “SHOOTIES”… A “shootie” is a hybrid between a shoe and a bootie, sometimes closed toe, but in 2015, often featured with an open-toed, gladiator-inspired nod to the Roman Empire. Edgy, bold and not for the faint of heart, a shootie may just become your favorite new fashion adventure this year. But don’t let your shoe fetish stop there. This year, shoes are growing bolder, brighter and more patterned by the moment. From vibrant sneakers worn with maxi skirts (go figure) to wild and crazy kicks in every height imaginable, feel free to go as far as your imagination will carry you. Step out boldly, girlfriend. Trust us. Others will be right there with you. •

Hyper Link AC M E CO M P U T E R S A N D C A E L W E S TO N IN ORDER TO MILK COWS,Cael Weston used a machete to clear the jungle trail from his home to the back pasture. The 15-year-old found this a different life from his upbringing in Los Angeles and Texas, where his dad worked for Getty Oil. In search of a new life, his father had brought them to the rich, black soil of Costa Rica to establish a family dairy farm. The Irish-Catholic family of seven children left behind the comforts of the United States to embrace the life of a third-world country. Acme Computers began in Siskiyou County from an unnatural birth. Weston’s experiences in Costa Rica, in the backrooms of newspapers and installing wire under mobile homes has led him to establish one of the top tech service companies in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Weston loved Costa Rica. “The culture enchanted me, but a poor economy found me traveling back to California with my mother,” Weston says. They settled in an old family vacation spot, Redding. Weston graduated in 1982 from Enterprise High School and looked to Shasta College as the gateway to a new adventure. As a journalism major, Weston worked for the Record Searchlight writing obituaries, weather and the occasional feature story. With the sale of his first story to the Associated Press, Weston moved on to Fresno State to complete his4 continued on page 70 JANUARY 2015 ENJOY | 69
education. Working for the Fresno Bee, Weston first got his taste of technology. “I had the tedious job of recording the high and low temperatures of 80 countries,” Weston says. “I discovered that by accessing a ‘user defined key,’ I could automate the whole process.” This gained the admiration of his employer, until it was discovered that Weston had been reading the New York Times at night on the fledging internet system, costing the paper $2,000. Weston returned to Costa Rica, using his connections to write stories on the ongoing war in Nicaragua. Now married to his wife, Marcella, he longed to make his career succeed as his family grew. He worked from the East Coast for the Allentown Morning Call. On the side, he worked on a story for a major magazine on the war. They held out a large paycheck for a completed story. However, the Iran-Contra scandal took over the news and Weston’s work was no longer needed. Returning to the West Coast, Weston realized the potential of technology. He began to run tech projects for a law firm, which expanded to a consulting business with 100 law firms. Having restored himself in a new career, he longed to live outside of the city and brought his family to Mount Shasta. “I thought I was smart. I had done well in San Francisco. I sold everything, reinvested my money and looked forward to a happy future,” he says. “But I wasn’t that smart. In a short time, I lost everything and was back where I had started.” He took a job with an internet company doing installations. Humbled, he spent days under mobile homes stringing wire. Realizing the need for tech service, he began to accept jobs on the side to help people with problems, hiring someone to do computer repair for him. When a tenant couldn’t afford her rent, Weston asked her to help him start his own business. Acme Computer was born. “The business has grown at breakneck speed,” Weston says. Today, the company employs talent from Northern California and uses them to service accounts in Austin, San Diego, San Francisco and Bahrain. Acme continues to grow as a tech service. Its current work includes involvement in the Bay Lights project on the Bay Bridge. Acme began the installation of 25,000 white LEDs, over the 1.8 miles of the bridge. Computer controls change the patterns and appearance of the lights. The project was meant to be temporary and completed by March of 2015. Now funds are being raised for it to be a permanent work. “I've been there and back again,” Weston says. “But what I’ve learned is to measure my life not by my money or career, but by my family. They mean everything.” • www.acmecomputer.com

S H A S TA CO L L E G E C E N T E R F O R CO M M U N I T Y E N G A G E M E N T WHETHER IT WAS THE BUDDHA OR THE THEOSOPHISTS who said, “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear,” matters perhaps less than the ability to recognize that teacher when she shows up. The students in question were those from the Shasta College Student Senate and the teacher, sociology instructor Heather Wylie, their faculty advisor. “They were asking legitimate questions like, ‘How is what I’m learning in the classroom translatable to the job market?’” says Wylie. “As an educator, I became interested.” That interest led in 2010 to the formation of the Shasta College Center for Community Engagement, funded through a grant from Shasta College’s Economic Workforce Development Division. Four years in, the Center has a series of California State Universitytransferable courses on civic engagement and community service

learning as well as the weight of the institution behind it. “Service learning is an important part of reaching our goal of having students’ success improve through engagement with other educational institutions, businesses and community organizations,” says Shasta College President Joe Wyse.
“
Through the Center, we’re helping our students to develop networks in our community and explore career pathways.
”
More than a clearinghouse for student volunteers, the Center promotes service learning, which is course-based education combined with thoughtful reflection by students on their contributions to a local nonprofit or business. Joseph Soto Hockenberry, one of Wylie’s former students, found his experience as an outreach educator with Women’s Health Specialists so beneficial that he continued to volunteer with the organization after the semester ended. “I’m definitely an introvert,” says Soto Hockenberry, who is now pursuing a degree at San Jose State University. “I asked about doing something behind the scenes, where I didn’t have to deal with people. I just didn’t think I had the skills to do that sort of thing.” After his bid for another placement fell through, he agreed to the outreach educator opportunity as a result of Wylie’s encouragement. “I was a pretty focused student anyway, but this really helped me socially,” he adds. “I found a network of people to turn to that I didn’t have before the program started. I was even offered a part-time job as a result of my work with them.” Wylie confirms Soto Hockenberry’s experience is not unique. “Anecdotally, I’ve had five of my own service learning students offered jobs,” she says. “And we have had a number of students qualify for grants to continue their education as a result of the service learning they have undertaken.” The benefit, however, is mutual. Organizations that partner with the Center have an opportunity to work with a diverse student population, says Wylie—one that can bring new ideas and new ways of thinking 4 continued on page 74

to meet project needs an organization does not have the person power or expertise to complete. Eddie McAllister, President of Shasta County Citizens Advocating Respect (SCCAR), had a Center student help gather data about youths’ understanding of the issues SCCAR addresses, something he wanted a “cultural insider” to direct. “She worked with teens, developing a survey to find out what they were saying and thinking about their safety at school and in the community,” says McAllister. “This was a real benefit to us because getting more youth involved in SCCAR is one of our goals.” Another Center student worked with McAllister on a Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 257 project, which features town hall meetings on the subject of Agent Orange and a Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day to be held in March. Community partners are viewed as co-educators, says Wylie, but that education flows in both directions. Case in point: the Youth Violence Prevention Council, a Center community partner, had been assigning low-level offenders through the court system to community service. “We’ve gotten away from using the phrase ‘community service’ because it sounds punitive,” adds Wylie. “It is something you get assigned when you get into trouble.” As a result, the Council reframed its requirement as a “community service-learning project,” emphasizing the use of participant skills to benefit others. A recent project focused on beautifying a local park. The Center has now partnered with Reach Higher Shasta, a countywide initiative to encourage educational preparedness in K-12 and college. Businesses and nonprofits will use the Reach Higher Shasta web portal to articulate their needs and opportunities for service learning and internships, and the Shasta College Center for Community Engagement will serve as the clearinghouse. “We’re fairly good at getting students to college, but the Center is about helping make that next leap from college to career,” adds Wylie. “Through the Center, we’re helping our students to develop networks in our community and explore career pathways.” •

January Recipe
Trying to decide between chili and stew for dinner on these cool January evenings? Why not have both: Cook up this chili-based Mexican stew. Traditionally, Pozole is made with pork and hominy, but there are many variations. This one calls for chicken, but is easy to modify for a vegetarian version. Also, if you haven’t tried hominy, here’s your chance. Your family will be asking for this again and again. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
86 | ENJOY JANUARY DECEMBER2015 2014
MEXICAN CHILI-SPICED RED POZOLE Yield: Serves 6-8
INGREDIENTS 2 T olive oil 1 medium white onion, peeled and diced 1 tsp. kosher salt 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 ½ tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. ground coriander 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. dried cumin 1 ½ lbs. uncooked chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken (1 ½ lbs., cut into pieces) 1 15-oz. can tomatoes, fire roasted with chilis 2 cups chicken broth, reduced sodium 1 30-oz. can hominy, drained and rinsed 2 small uncooked zucchini, cut into chunks ¼ cup fresh cilantro, minced
STEP ONE Heat the oil, over medium heat, in a large, heavy soup pot or a Dutch oven. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, coriander, chili powder and cumin to pan. Stir this and cook another minute or two.
STEP TWO Place the chicken pieces in the pot and cover with water, enough to cover them by about 2 inches. Add tomatoes (and juice) and the broth to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. When cooked through, remove chicken to a platter and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
STEP THREE Add hominy and zucchini to pot and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until zucchini is almost tender and liquid has reduced, stirring a few times, about 10-15 minutes.
TRADITIONAL GARNISHES Prepare your choice of garnishes and place in individual bowls for the table. 1 cup shredded lettuce or sliced cabbage 2 diced avocados 4–6 chopped green onions (with greens) 6 thinly sliced radishes ½ cup minced cilantro ¼ cup sour cream 6–8 lime wedges crispy tortilla chips
STEP FOUR While this is cooking, and once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and any bones. With two forks, shred the chicken into bitesized pieces.
STEP FIVE Return chicken to the pot mixture and add cilantro. Stir together and let simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve in deep bowls and let your family top with the garnishments of their choice. TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 20 mins. – 1 hour 35 mins. PREP: 20 min. COOK: 1 hour – 1 hour 15 mins.

SNA SHO P T
BILLY +PATRICK by Patrick John I admit it. I watch a lot of TV. The set, the tube, the telly, the idiot box, the magic screen… I love it, and it loves me back with endless channels of reality, nature, travel, home improvement, adventure, horror, fantasy, news and so much more. The TV definitely fills part of my day, and apparently I’m not alone. The latest figures from the Nielsen ratings company say the average American is glued to that screen for more than five hours a day. No way. Surely I don’t watch that much TV. Let’s think about this… home from work around 1pm. Maybe a little “Family Feud” with lunch. Take the dogs outside for exercise, get the mail, run errands, a little yard work and housework, check e-mail and Facebook…oh my gosh, is “Ellen” on already? Time flies, better go investigate and see what needs to happen for dinner. News is on… gotta get the latest weather forecast. TV off for dinner. OK, dishes are done and the kitchen is cleaned up just in time for “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!” Insert the rest of the evening’s TV shows here. Wow, I DO watch too much TV. The Nielsen report also says that as we get older, we watch even more television. Jane has been telling me I have a TV problem for awhile, so I am
going to be in some serious trouble here. I smell a New Year’s resolution for myself. What to do about this little addiction of mine? Suggestions from experts to wean yourself off the boob tube include playing games, being active in another area of your home or simply getting outside. They also recommend reducing the total number of TVs in the house and getting a DVR, so you’re only watching the shows you want instead of wandering aimlessly through channels until something catches your attention. You can listen to the radio, because it’s a lot easier to multitask while just listening, rather than having to add the sense of sight. Of course, reading a book or magazine is also a good choice (and since you’re reading Enjoy at this moment, you’re already headed in the right direction!). The last piece of expert advice was not to cut off TV totally or cold turkey (thank goodness for that). It just means we have to be a little picky and choosy, but can continue to watch the programs we REALLY like with no guilt. Perfect, because “Jeopardy!” is a staple here, “Downton Abbey” is back this month, and I can’t miss “Game of Thrones” when it returns in early spring!

LIVE UNITED “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” ~ Sir Winston Churchill
UNITED WAY: Established in 1953, United Way of Northern California serves nine counties in far Northern California - Butte, Glenn,
Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity. Though there are 1,800 United Ways in 41 countries, each one is local and autonomous. The United Way of Northern California has its own 501c3, its own volunteer board of directors, all decisions are made locally, and all funds that are raised here, stay here. The benefit, however, is that a worldwide network of resources and experience is shared among all United Ways. In addition to raising funds for local nonprofits, they assess community needs and attempt to augment resources where there are gaps. Examples include the 2-1-1 program, a direct-dial resource line where community members can call to get connected to local resources, and the new Get Connected Volunteer Matching site. United Way also recently launched a Prosperity initiative to address root causes of poverty with a goal of increasing prosperity for all members of the community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: • Your monetary gift through United Way of Northern California provides funding to nearly 50 local nonprofit agencies to help one in three people in the region. Instead of focusing on one single cause or issue, they focus on hundreds of them, helping the community as a whole. Donations support people in urgent need, but they also support meaningful, lasting change that impacts the entire community. • Become part of the LIVE UNITED Ambassador program. Ambassadors help spread the word about the work that nonprofits are doing in the community, and it’s a way to practice public speaking and leadership skills while meeting like-minded people. • Volunteer. www.norcalunitedway.org 94 | ENJOY JANUARY 2015
