for this month’s recipe
It’s all about the heart this month, and you know how much we love to share the love with you. Sweetness abounds at the Really Senior Prom, where high school seniors transform their gym into a jazz-filled, elegant prom for senior citizens. “What is most endearing about this event is seeing the youth enjoy and drink up the wealth of knowledge our senior population has to offer,” one volunteer says. “One of the kids said, ‘It felt good to be able to give back to a group of people that has given us all so much.’” If you’re looking for that special someone, we’d like to introduce you to Dinner 4 Six, a unique and low-pressure opportunity for folks to enjoy a meal together and see if the love bug bites. The group’s success stories are heartwarming. Few things say “I love you” like tasty treats, and we’ll show you how to make delectable baked pears that are the perfect ending to a Valentine’s dinner. It’s an imaginative break from more traditional chocolate fare. After a romantic evening, why not spend a day in the snow? It’s the perfect time to venture into Lassen Park on a pair of snowshoes, where you’ll likely hear nothing more than your own footfalls. The scenery is magical and the tranquility, divine. This month, we’re introducing a new series of stories that will explore some of the North State’s delightful downtowns. First stop: Downtown Cottonwood, where the spirit of the Old West is alive and the slower pace suits folks just fine. From our hearts to yours, enjoy!

Date Night
A HUNTER AND A VEGETARIAN walked into a New Year’s Party organized for singles. They ended up getting married. They’ve stayed that way. “That’s the kind of success story that really speaks to what Dinner 4 Six really does,” says Shawn Davis, the 62-year-old entrepreneur of a unique singles service that brings people together in a lighthearted way that encourages them to enjoy being single while increasing odds of finding a companion. “I’m not a matchmaker,” says Davis. “I’m an opportunity maker.” Opportunities are created through a fairly simple formula. Singles fill out a profile for Davis, who then sets about organizing a multitude of weekly dinners and social gatherings that encourage people to get to know each other in a low-pressure way. A typical dinner for six will bring three similarlyaged men and three women together at a local— usually Chico-based—restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night. Participants enjoy a meal together without sharing last names or contact details. They order separate checks. If a spark of interest ignites, it gets reported to Davis the next day so she can either schedule the two together at another event, or, if the spark is mutual and requested, share contact details to each involved. People who prefer a more lively opportunity may sign up for weekly mixers or activities such as hikes, parties and wine tastings. “It’s all about eliminating their fears,” Davis says. “A lot of my helping people is just getting them not to shoot themselves in the foot.” That can range from gently encouraging a gentleman with a penchant for wearing his expensive plaid pants from the ‘70s on through the ‘90s to reminding people first and foremost that they should enjoy being single. “The expectations kill people,” she says. “Expectations are premeditated disappointment.” Instead, she encourages people to arrive to Dinner 4 Six events with an open mind and a sense of joy. “Expect to have fun,” she says. “People who are having fun are very attractive people.”4 continued on page 16

Steven & Alicia Hille met more than 10 years ago at Dinner 4 Six.
Shawn Ramsey married Steve Davis on Oct. 15, 2005 in Magalia. They met at Dinner 4 Six in March 2002 and began dating exclusively in June 2002.
About that hunter and vegetarian — it turns out they had several friends in common and had been on the periphery of each other’s lives for quite some time. When the vegetarian asked her friends why they hadn’t introduced her to the hunter, they said, “You would have asked if he was a hunter and you would have said, ‘Well, forget that.’” Davis bought the Dinner 4 Six concept in April 1997, before the internet became the household and handheld staple that it is today. A lot of her organizing was by phone. At the time she was still employed matching foreign exchange students to host families, a job she enjoyed for 15 years. That job was hit by the recession and, suddenly unemployed, she says, “I had to reinvent myself. And that’s when it became my full-time job.” “I was already close to 50. Who was going to hire me? Once I had to make this make money, I put all my time and energy into it,” she says. Although it took her six months to recover from the loss of her job, she managed to hold on to her assets. “My car never got repossessed. My house never got foreclosed. The water never got turned off. Somehow it worked.” It more than worked. Davis, who was divorced at the time, also met Steve, who signed up for Dinner 4 Six and was attending events for about four months before she asked him to lunch. “I just liked the way he walked,” she says

Richard & Kimberly Mangrum met in December 2004, and married in July, 2005.
with a laugh. “There was attraction there but it wasn’t until we had that lunch and our brains started getting engaged that I went, ‘Wow!’” They married in 2005. Her next piece of dating advice: “Start looking for somebody that engages your brain.” To date, Dinner 4 Six has several marriages and long-term relationships to its credit. One of Davis’ great joys has been to attend weddings of people who met through her service. These are people she refers to as friends, rather than clients. “I was still planning dinners for six on my honeymoon,” she says of her dedication. “I used to joke when I was in advertising that I was selling time, air and space. Now I’m selling hope,” she laughs. Still, she says, of Dinner 4 Six, “It’s been the best job of my life. I talk on the phone. I email. I Facebook for my friends all day long. And I throw parties for them.” • www.dinner4six.com

GOOD TIMES
| BY SUE RALSTON
A Shoe-In S N O W S H O E I N G AT L A S S E N PA R K
FOR MANY NORTH STATE RESIDENTS, Lassen Park brings to mind green meadows with spring wildflowers in bloom, summer camping and leisurely kayaking at Manzanita Lake. But in the winter, a hush descends upon the park, and the trees are trimmed in white. Dirt trails are now blanketed with sparkling, powdery snow—perfect for those longing for some winter recreation. Winter activities in Lassen range from cross-country skiing to backcountry camping to a simpler, more accessible and family-friendly sport: snowshoeing. It has often been said that if you can walk, you can snowshoe. But for those who’d like a little help with technique before venturing out on their own, ranger-led snowshoe excursions are held in Lassen Park each Saturday and Sunday until April 5, weather—and snow levels—permitting. Katie and Paul Connaughton have taken their 6-year-old daughter, Charlotte, out on many nature excursions, and they all enjoy snowshoeing. “Try to go when the weather is good, especially if you have little kids," Katie says. "If your kids are warm, then they’re happy. If they
get cold, it’s a miserable experience.” She recommends dressing them in warm layers, bringing pocket warmers, snacks, and an insulated container of hot chocolate. The Connaughtons started early with their first child. “We took Charlotte up to Mt. Shasta when she was only a year old and in a backpack. We snowshoed up to the Sierra Club cabin near Bunny Flat. We’ve also gone up to Castle Lake, kind of dragging Charlotte in a sled. It’s a real gradual ascent, mostly flat.” Her experience has taught her that starting early is best. “Charlotte did so well hiking over the summer that I think she’ll actually snowshoe this year.” The Connaughtons will put their 10-month-old son in a backpack, making it a true family affair. Those who have never been snowshoeing might benefit from Lassen’s free ranger-led walks. Rangers instruct participants on beginning snowshoeing techniques, winter mountain travel safety and outdoor survival tips. They recommend that you wear warm boots, dress in layers for winter conditions and be prepared for unexpected weather changes. The walks are free, last two hours (with lots of stopping), and snowshoes4 continued on page 20
FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 19
Ranger-led snowshoe walks start at the Lassen Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center at 1:30 pm each Saturday and Sunday through April 5. Snowshoes are available for a requested $1 donation and are only available for ranger-led walks. Visitors with their own snowshoes are welcome. Prepare for moderate exertion at 7,000 feet. Call first for road conditions and closures or check the website. Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center Southwest entrance of the park on Highway 89, 4 miles north of the junction of Highway 36 and Highway 89 (530) 595-4480 www.nps.gov/lavo Snowshoe Rentals: Available at Hermit's Hut in Redding and Sports Ltd. in Redding and Chico
are provided for a suggested donation of $1. The walks are open to those age 8 and older and depart from the southwest entrance of the park. Solitude and beauty are available to those willing to go off the beaten path a little bit. A fun activity for kids is looking out for animals or their tracks. Lassen is home to more than 50 mammal species, including coyotes, foxes, weasels, skunks, raccoons—and perhaps for those who watch carefully—bobcats or mountain lions. And while winter programs aren’t offered at Manzanita Lake, it’s an ideal walk for those who want a relatively short, always scenic trek. The Manzanita Lake Snowshoe Loop is 1.6 miles around the lake, at an elevation of 5,800 feet, and
20 | ENJOY FEBRUARY 2015
takes an average of an hour and a half. With children, shorter walks work best, says Katie. “We go up to Manzanita Lake, or go out a Forest Service Road, out and back. The south side is kind of interesting because the terrain is more varied. Try not to be overly ambitious with the length of the trip. Start small so you don’t get halfway out and find that the kids want to be done right now.” •

Not much needs to change in downtown Cottonwood, says Joan Smith, the owner of Joan’s Vintage, an antique and collectible shop. Smith has had her shop for 20 years and has been in the business for 50 years. “We were pickers before there were pickers,” she says. Cottonwood’s slower pace prompted Smith to relocate from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1961 and it continues to suit her. “I like the small-town feel. Everything is pretty close.” Joe Galvan, proprietor of Everything Nostalgic, calls Cottonwood “a safe little town” where he’s comfortable raising his three children. “This is a community where everyone knows everyone and respects everyone. Cottonwood is a town where time stands still.”
24 | ENJOY FEBRUARY 2015
Inside Galvan’s colorful shop, time has indeed stopped, but at different intervals. Each room in the historic building is packed with trinkets, signs, tools, clothes, toys and more from the 19th century clear on up through the 1950s. Christmas is the prominent theme at Country Lane Antiques, so much so that locals refer to it as “the Christmas store.” Judith Klages has operated the expansive emporium for the past 38 years, and manages to find a never-ending supply of ornaments, decorations and figurines to tuck into every corner. One of Klages’ clerks, Sandy Elledge, took time out from helping customers to note that Cottonwood is “a little close-knit town” and then encouraged a visitor to check out Aggie’s Kountry Kuts, a salon operated by her aunt, Aggie Keeler.4 continued on page 26

“I enjoy the country feel of it,” says Rosemary Purdie of her Cottonwood home. Born and raised in a “ropin’ and riding” environment, Purdie says she longed to return to that lifestyle, so she left Orange County three years ago to settle in Cottonwood. “I like the rodeos that go on, the wonderful little shops. The people are just wonderful and I feel safe walking around,” says Purdie, who was browsing for a pair of earrings at the Rhinestone Ranch. Sue Teixeira runs the Rhinestone Ranch, a fun store she described as a Western consignment boutique and saddle shop. She’s owned it for a year and a half and acquired it after discovering it almost by accident. “I didn’t even know there was a store here,” she says. Business was slow at first, but has since picked up to the point where she finds it worth her while to open on Sundays, in part due to the brisk brunch business across the street at the Cottonwood Eatery.
26 | ENJOY FEBRUARY 2015
Famous for its desserts, the Eatery is downtown’s go-to establishment for old-fashioned hospitality. A diner from Stockton summed it up well in her Yelp review: “OMG! This place was wonderful!

T H E R E S TO R AT I O N O F T H E C A L I F O R N I A T H E AT E R I N D U N S M U I R TWO DIAMOND-SHAPED WINDOWS on the front doors of the California Theater in Dunsmuir are portals to a magical place. The spell spills out into the streets with the lighted marquee pointing to the sky, as clouds are caught like cotton candy in the trees across the canyon. Moving down the street in quick strides, owner Mark Juarez opens the doors with the enthusiasm of Willy Wonka. Opening in 1926, the building’s outside appearance is deceptive. The building unfolds into the large theater, a ballroom and other rooms that hold more than 800 people inside. In the main theater, a screen is stretched over a deep stage where the hardwood resounded for years with the voices of vaudeville acts before giving way to talking movies. A creek runs underneath the stage, providing a natural air conditioner. Juarez is an inventor. In 1992, he worked as a masseur, and using his creativity he developed a tool called the Happy Massager. This grew into The Happy Company. Within three years the business was bringing in $20 million a year. The self-educated engineer says, “I wanted to develop products which made love visible and showed integrity before profits, while giving a caring touch to the world. I believe there is no impossible dream.” Dreams are what brought the inventor and his contemporary world to envision how this building and its past could come alive again. Juarez began to dream of a conference center. “Everything begins with conversation,” Juarez says. “I spoke to a manager at Google and asked about their conference needs and what would be attractive to them.”4 continued on page 30
FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 29
Dunsmuir is four hours north of San Francisco and five hours south of Portland — perfect conference territory. Juarez saw the 1926 building transporting people back into the Roaring Twenties while embodying the latest in technology. He cast his eyes across the street to the Dunsmuir Hotel, wondering if the converted apartments fit his whimsical thoughts. He found a copy of Enjoy magazine featuring an article on the property known as the “Upside Down Hotel,” and soon purchased the building to add to the raw materials of his dreams. The theater and hotel are being renovated. Bright pin striping covers the concession stand of the theater, while a ceiling mural looks down on patrons, who walk across newly laid tile designs. Upstairs, floors are stripped and ready to be refinished. False walls, dropped ceilings and peeling paint are now gone. The theater is preparing to be dressed and adorned as a fine lady of the 1920s, ready for her next ball. An artist roams the rooms of the hotel, looking at each wall as a canvas, with plans to paint a part of the history of Dunsmuir on the walls of each room and tell the story of the town.
When finished, Juarez will have almost 100 rooms available, the theater, a ballroom and a commercial kitchen. Two large retail spaces have been added as the possible location of a bar and restaurant. The theater property alone provides 16,000 square feet of space. In addition to his upside down hotel, Juarez has added the Castle Rock Hotel. His ideas for the buildings and spaces are limitless. As the properties continue their transformation, Juarez opens the theater to the community on a part-time basis, showing movies from its historic past. The smell of popcorn fills the lobby many weekends. Coming attractions are listed on the theater’s Facebook page. Taking a winter hiatus, the movies will return in warmer months. The sign with ticket prices says, “No one is turned away for lack of funds.” “I want to give to this community,” Juarez says. “I’m not here to take but to give.” As this quiet entrepreneur toils, his work and workers are unseen by most. His deep desire is to build a team of people around him. “I’m always looking for ideas and innovators who can come alongside me,” Juarez says. “I would love for them to come from this area.” The man behind the theater is full of thoughts, dreams and action. In his inspirational book, “Charlie’s Thinking Cheese,” Juarez writes, “Believe in something unbelievable. Let your imagination run wild.” • Facebook: California Theater in Dunsmuir

GOOD FINDS
| BY KIMBERLY BONÉY | PHOTOS: BETSY ERICKSON
TA L K A B O U T C H O C O L AT E W I T H T H E K I N G FA M I LY THE WORDS “CHOCOLATE” AND “DELICIOUS” have long been synonymous. One taste of the endorphin-filled dessert is sure to create an overwhelming feeling of happiness. But for Catherine King, chocolate represents much more than just the momentary feeling of bliss created by the feel-good food. It’s about building community. And she and her family are using chocolate to create joyful connections, one delectable bite at a time. King, who says she has loved chocolate since the moment she was born, learned to enjoy the art of chocolate making as a little girl. Her mom wasn’t big on cooking, but had no problem cleaning up after her daughter’s artful journeys in dessert making in the kitchen. When King married her husband 20 years ago, the spark of a lifelong dream to open a dessert shop was ignited. They wanted a place in which people could enjoy time together, where they could bond over dessert. According to King, “The highlight of any meal is always dessert. You get a ‘wow factor’ with dessert. And people are always happy around chocolate. “Ninety percent of chocolate companies are named after their owner. I didn’t want the company to be about me. I wanted it to be about the chocolate itself – about the sense of community that is created by coming
together.” And chocolate is the vehicle that this family is taking to live their dream. “We want to teach our girls how to build a business. It’s a perfect way to have fun together as a family,” says King. King, a bankruptcy and business attorney, has always found ways to infuse creativity and hope into a profession that is often considered very black and white. “The reason I am good at what I do in the realm of law is that I cultivate the creative side of my work. The walls of my office are decorated in words of inspiration. Some of the jewelry that I create is displayed there. Bankruptcy can be depressing for everyone involved. I want my clients to be encouraged and inspired to know that things can and will get better,” King says. King decided now was the time to take a leap of faith to invest time and love into this business. “I turned 50. My girls are at a good age to participate in building something that can last for a lifetime. I want them to find their gifts. Whether they choose to pursue chocolate or not, they are learning life principles, business skills and building a dream”—the fine art of thinking outside of the proverbial box of chocolates.4 continued on page 34

King’s daughters, Elyssa, 13, and Gloria Grace (GiGi), 11, have found their gifts in their passion for this business. Elyssa is the company’s social media, technology and photography guru. All of the photos on Talk About Chocolate’s website, blog and social media are taken by Elyssa, a girl with an eye for capturing all that is beautiful about the art of chocolate. She’s also quite the wordsmith. King is sure that she and Elyssa will ultimately pen a book about their adventures in making artisan chocolate. GiGi is the creative guru and collaborates with her mom on pairing the chocolate with additions of color on each piece of edible art. GiGi hand paints the chocolates using all natural colored cocoa butter. Coupled with a keen sense of creativity is GiGi’s incredible business sense. She came up with the name Talk About Chocolate. “GiGi is the essence of color in our world,” says the proud mom/chocolatier. Justin King, Catherine’s husband, coordinates the systems, helps maintain efficiency and is developing the design concept for the family’s ultimate plan to open a retail dessert shop in the North State. If everything goes according to plan, Talk About Chocolate will be available in local stores and online by February 14, the quintessential day of all things chocolate. King comes up with the recipes for the chocolate, and her mind is bursting with new concepts and ways to present the healthier side of chocolate to America. “American chocolate is so overloaded with sugar, preservatives and palm oil. We really want to focus on the European method of chocolate making,” King
says. Their chocolates, made with essential oils and love, are the embodiment of all that is delicious and good for the mind, body and soul about chocolate. King’s passion took her all the way to Europe last July, where she and her family spent time creating chocolate in as many countries as possible, most notably with Gill Lyth, Scottish chocolatier and owner of world-renowned company Hello Chocolate. King also enrolled in Ecolle de Chocolat, an online artisan chocolate-making course comprised of aspiring chocolatiers from all over the world. King was impressed with the bigger world perspective she gained on chocolate upon completion of her coursework. One of the most inspiring nuggets of wisdom taken from their trip to Europe was the realization that almost all chocolate companies in Europe are family businesses. According to King, “there is just something about chocolate that knits people together.” • www.Talkaboutchocolate.com Find Talk About Chocolate on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (888) 756-5552

MUMBLEFINGER'S BRIAN BIRKES—MAKING MUSIC I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E AS A KID GROWING UP ON THE FAMILY FARM near Los Molinos, Brian Birkes’ options for killing time were fairly limited once the chores were done. There was the telephone, but it was a party line “and people would yell at you if you talked too long.” There was the TV, but it only received three stations and if you wanted to change channels, you had to get on the roof and move the antennae. “So I picked up a guitar, mostly out of sheer boredom. I was in the sixth grade, probably 11 years old,” Birkes recalls. “It was my dad’s guitar. He showed me ‘House of the Rising Sun’ and a few others and it just took off.” It took off and so did Birkes, who left the country life as soon as he graduated Red Bluff High School. He was 17 and ready to see a few big-city lights. “First I went to Chico because that’s where all my friends were. I slept on couches and played music. That’s kind of where I honed my craft and my skills as a live performer,” Birkes says. Then I went down to the Bay Area, then New York, then Nashville, then back to the Bay Area, and then back here. All that took about 30 years.” In Nashville, Birkes hooked up with Barry Beckett, the keyboardist and producer who was an instrumental part of the Muscle Shoals recording studio, and collaborated on a CD. In the Bay Area, he performed at several blues clubs and released three CDs on his own. In all, Birkes says he’s recorded 15 CDs. “I’ve been pretty much selling them out of the trunk of my car.” He came back to Red Bluff for the very same qualities that sent him on the road: some peace and quiet and a break from the fast-paced lifestyle of a touring musician.4 continued on page 38 FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 37
“I came back here about eight years ago. I was just kind of beat up and tired and I didn’t want to play so much, so I built a studio,” Birkes says. After a spell, the stage again beckoned. “I missed playing live so I booked a couple of gigs, and now it’s snowballed.” Birkes performs throughout the North State as Mumblefinger and he’s fashioned a couple of avenues for his music. He has a jazz trio (with Bruce Calin on bass and Cleveland Boney on keyboards) that plays most Saturdays at the Gaia Hotel in Anderson. “I get to relax and just play,” Birkes says. The pace is decidedly more upbeat when Birkes breaks out his fullfledged funk ensemble and tears into his hefty catalog of original tunes and selected covers. That lineup includes Boney (who’s also a member of Cold Sweat) along with Steve Huff on bass and Patrick Wiseman on drums. A largely self-taught player, Birkes became enamored with the electric guitar after watching Roy Clark on the TV variety show “Hee Haw.” A love affair with the blues was sparked when he put B.B. King’s “Live at the Regal” on the turntable. He soaked in music at every opportunity. “If there was a party somewhere, I’d go. If there was a band, any band—and it was slim pickings back in Red Bluff—I would go and park myself in front of the guitar player and just listen. “I can’t sit down and learn stuff. I never would have taken to lessons, I don’t think. Most of what I’ve learned has been by mistake,” Birkes says with a laugh. Boney, the keyboard player, says there’s a lot more to Birkes’ musicianship than he lets on. “The most awesome part of being part 38 | ENJOY FEBRUARY 2015
of the band is how loose the gig is. As a musician, I usually go into a gig with some charts. But Brian has a great understanding of musicians and how to speak to them, how to direct them. All he has to do is shout out a few chords. “He may pull out a song he wrote the night before and we’ll somehow just nail it. I don’t know how he pulls that off. It’s a testament to his ability to direct musicians. He’s an awesome songwriter. His musicianship is just uncanny and we follow along.” MacKenzie Hughes, a trumpeter who played in Mumblefinger before relocating to Fort Worth, Texas, says Birkes’ sense of humor and spontaneity reminds him of the late Slam Buckra, a North State favorite with whom Hughes and Wiseman both played. “I had some really good times with Brian. He’s a very honest man and a standup dude,” Hughes says. When he’s not performing, Birkes stays busy at Sky River Music, his sister Melissa Wendland’s new music store in Red Bluff. “It’s become a really cool place for kids and musicians to meet up. It’s become quite a cool scene down there,” Birkes says of his day job. At home, Birkes enjoys the company of his wife, Ronnie, and his German shepherd, Ringo. • www.facebook.com/Mumblefinger

A Few of
Our Favorite Things
BEAUTY PRODUCTS W E LOV E R I G H T N OW I DON’T KNOW ABOUT ANY OF YOU, but I have a serious beauty product addiction. Drug stores, department stores and especially Sephora/Ulta-type beauty meccas—I visit them all. Luckily, I have an excuse—it’s my job to research the latest and greatest so I can help guide Enjoy readers toward the season’s must-haves. So from my heart to yours—here are a few of my favorite things. (Cue music…)4 continued on page 42 FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 41
FOR SKIN: I’m obsessed with the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift line. Unless you roll out of bed looking like a woodland nymph, you need a little makeup subterfuge. Start with a dab of a sheer, creamy highlighter under your eyes (this brightens up dark circles without leaving a cakey residue). Next, brush on a dimethicone-rich primer to instantly blot out pores and wrinkles. (L’Oréal Paris Miracle Blur, $25, drugstores) If you like BB creams, you’ll love Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream. Quick refresher about BB creams: They’re supercharged tinted moisturizers that hydrate, even out skin tone and protect from environmental damage. So imagine what this does for legs! Right away, skin is softer, but look closely… a slight tint in the formula acts as a reflector and highlighter. Tiny particles of silicone temporarily camouflage imperfections like spider veins, fine lines and scars. And there’s just enough DHA (the ingredient in self-tanners) to even out skin tone and create a subtle glow.
BATHTIME BLISS. If you haven’t tried any Lush products (www.lush.com), go online now! The bath ombs are, well, the bomb. They fizz, they leave skin silky smooth, and sometimes, there’s even a surprise hidden inside! Take your bath to a whole new level. Cocktail that bomb with a slice of one of the homemade soaps (Honey I Washed the Kids is a favorite) and you may never leave. Scents are seasonal, but you really can’t go wrong. And the company supports humanitarian causes and continues to fight against animal testing. Win!
EYES: Get thee an eyelash curler, stat! There are many good ones out there, but my favorites are Shu Uemura and Sephora (find both online, $20 and $17, respectively). Curling lashes opens up eyes, especially if you aren’t blessed with the doe-eyed look. Just be sure to replace the silicone pads often, and once those are used, toss the instrument and buy another one. They aren’t meant to hold onto.
And speaking of doe-eyed, if you haven’t yet tried the winged eyeliner trend, now is your time. Though I love many products as far as eyeliner goes, Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner ($24) is amazing. There’s a reason this took five years to develop: The small dial twists to allow the precise amount of gel out of the narrow slit in the skinny end, while the wider base pushes lashes out of the way so you can get as close to the lash line as possible. Genius.
GIFT SETS. I am a huge fan of gift sets, if you are really going to use all of the products; otherwise, it isn’t a value. This time of the year, many cosmetics companies offer value sets featuring their best sellers. The secret to getting the best value out of the set is 1) to be sure the product for which you are buying the set is the full size you would normally buy on its own, and 2) that you will actually use the other products in the set. If you don’t use shower gel or lotion, then forsaking the gift set for a single perfume spray is probably your best bet. What’s great about skin care gift sets is that you often end up with a mini eye cream, night cream, or face serum to try. 42 | ENJOY FEBRUARY JANUARY 2015 2015
LIPS: The perfect complement to that black, winged liner is a classic red lip. Look no further—MAC Ruby Woo is what pros use. When I worked in Vegas, the showgirls would all come in for this color, so we had to be sure it was always in stock. It works on all complexions and the color stays put. (Macy’s, $16) NAILS: Finally, my new favorite for nails: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish and top coat. Forget the multi-step salon or at-home gel nails of yesterday—this is easy-peasy. Apply the two-in-one basecoat plus color polish then follow with the topcoat. When daylight (or any light, for that matter) hits your nails, the chemical compound works like a solar panel to capture the light and convert it to energy, linking the color and topcoat together in one solid layer with a smooth, shiny surface. And it comes off with regular polish remover— seriously. ($9.99) There you have it. From my heart (well, bathroom cabinets) to yours, those are some of my favorite things. I’m always on the look out for more, so let me know what you find out there! Tweet me @melissagulden •

< IT SHOWED US WE CAN DO A LOT OUTDOORS, ESPECIALLY IF IT’S WELL PLANNED AND ORGANIZED,> SAYS PARMELEE. < WE ARE FORECASTING NOW FOR OUTDOOR SHOWS THAT CAN SERVE UP TO THE 15,000-PERSON RANGE SO WE CAN BRING IN BIGGER ARTISTS.>
Cory McCandliss General Manager
Broadway returns again when Sister Act opens for a one-night engagement on March 25. While there is a lot cooking in 2015, Parmelee is keeping mum for now about some of the bigger acts. “If I am going after an artist that is consistently selling 5,000 tickets a show, they are not going to book a 2,000- seat show here unless they know they have secure dates in surrounding areas such as Reno, Portland and San Francisco,” he says. The largest venue in the region (Chico State University’s Laxson Auditorium seats 1,337), the Redding Civic Auditorium is an attractive draw for many large-scale productions and performers because it is the only venue in California north of Sacramento that can meet certain technical requirements. “Internationally touring productions can require up to 30 fly-lines, which are used for hanging props and backdrops to create the staging impact,” says Parmelee. Broadway shows aside, a revitalized Civic Auditorium has something for everyone: comedy, country, oldies, electronica, and last summer the community-wide Celebrate 10 event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Sundial Bridge. “It showed us we can do a lot outdoors, especially if it’s well planned and organized,” says Parmelee. “We are forecasting now for outdoor shows that can serve up to the 15,000-person range so we can bring in bigger artists.” In December, Merle Haggard played a benefit show for the recovery effort of last summer’s Boles Fire in Weed. “One of the things I really like about social media is you hear what people really think,” says Parmelee.

Nathan Parmelee Marketing & Talent Director
“They think someone like Merle Haggard (because he lives locally) is an easy booking, but actually we had to work hard to secure him.” It is through this ear-to-the-Internet approach that Parmelee has been able to deliver some cutting-edge shows, including the Redding area’s first large-scale rave last November. “There is a huge following among the younger generation of electronic dance music, which presented an opportunity to connect with young people that are not coming into our building a lot,” he says. The sound, light and dance party extravaganza, geared to ages 18-25, drew 1,800 attendees (they were expecting 1,000) and featured three DJs, food and beverage service. The event went viral on social media. With a half-million dollar investment in the auditorium remodel and a new sound system, Parmelee says staff will continue improving the facility to bring in shows that excite residents. They are also working on in-house theatrical and production units as well as a Civic Dance Project to create productions using local talent. “We may have one or two star entertainers brought in from outside the area,” adds Parmelee. “We want to transform this into a world class venue.” • www.reddingcivic.com • (530)229-0022

SHANE THOMAS WAS “VERY SHY” the first time Lisa Spiegler met him at the Oroville Teen Center, one of nine sites of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the North Valley in Butte County. “He came in with some friends and would crack a smile once in a while but he sat in the corner,” recalls Spiegler, director of the center. “He was searching for a place to belong.” Staff soon discovered Shane’s artistic and intellectual gifts. He connected with the Leader-in-Training program, a service-learning group built around civic engagement and community betterment, and Spiegler says, “Within six months, he was still shy but made it very clear he wanted to be part of these opportunities.” Fast-forward four years. Shane Thomas is a senior in high school and the Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley's Youth of the Year for the second consecutive year, chosen for his exemplary service to the club and community, excellent academic performance and character and leadership abilities. He speaks to various local organizations and clubs, educating them about the Boys and Girls Club and its Youth of the Year program. Thomas chose to apply to Chico State University, where a four-year scholarship awaits him. A former College Connection student (the Boys and Girls Club helped him with the application and mock interviews), he says, “As an eighth grader, I may have had ideas about what I wanted to do in the future, but the Boys and Girls Clubs of the North Valley helped me set actual college and career goals.” Those goals include pursuing a degree in aeronautical engineering and enlisting in the Air Force after graduation.4 continued on page 52

February is Children’s Dental Health Month
Historical evidence suggests that dental disease was rare among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) in the early 20th century. Today, AI/ANs have more untreated tooth decay and gum disease than any other population group, due to socioeconomic status, changes in diet, lack of preventive programs and simply not enough dental professionals to meet the huge backlog of untreated disease. February is Children’s Dental Health Month, so let’s focus on all children. The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry both recommend establishing a “Dental Home”. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care. A child’s dental care really starts with his or her mother’s pregnancy, because baby teeth begin to form before birth. GOOD ORAL HYGIENE TIPS: • Even before teeth begin to erupt, thoroughly clean your infant’s gums after each feeding with a water-soaked infant washcloth or gauze pad to stimulate the gum tissue and remove food.
• When the baby’s teeth begin to erupt brush them gently with a small, soft bristled toothbrush. • At age two or three, you can begin to teach your child proper brushing techniques, but remember, you will need to follow up with brushing and gentle flossing until age seven or eight, when the child has the dexterity to do it alone. • Optimal exposure to fluoride is important to all infants and children. The use of fluoride for the prevention and control of caries is documented to be both safe and effective. Talk to your dentist or dental hygienist about placing a protective coating (dental sealants), on the biting surface of molars. Sealers can protect the tooth against cavities. • Children ages 5 to adolescence should brush for two minutes, at least two times per day with fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss. They should also be taught and know how to handle dental emergencies along with the dangers of smoking and chewing tobacco. It is important to practice healthy habits and continue to have routine visits to the dentist.

“We serve the toughest and hardest to reach kids in the community,” says Rashell Brobst, CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the North Valley. “Those one-stop shops for an hour a week typically are not going to help the highest-risk kids. We attempt to stop the cycle so a new cycle can be created.” For Thomas’ family, this new cycle extends to his younger siblings, who followed him into the club. Begun in 1860 by three Connecticut women to foster character development in boys left roaming local streets, the Boys and Girls Club of America today serves almost 4 million youth in 4,100 club facilities throughout the United States and at youth centers on U.S. military installations worldwide. In 2000, the Chico and Paradise clubs merged to become the Boys and Girls Clubs of the North Valley, expanding in the last 10 years to include the Teen Center in Oroville and several pods at Butte County Juvenile Hall. The Juvenile Hall facility uses a camp atmosphere and is only one of four such programs in the state. “Recidivism was 80 percent and we have been able to flip that to about 30 percent for the kids we are case managing,” says Brobst. The organization believes service learning and leadership programs cultivate character. “We have national partnerships with Old Navy and Gap who have committed to taking our teens as interns,” adds Brobst. “We also had members work hand-in-hand on a project with the Feather River Recreation and Park District.”
The park landscaping project was created and implemented quickly, says park district General Manager Ann Willmann. “It was one of the best experiences I have had collaborating with another agency and seeing a visible outcome," she says. "The kids learned how to install an irrigation system and read a planting plan. In return, we had a project completed that we did not have the time to do.” Willmann is already considering future projects and says interest has spread to other local agencies. Boys and Girls Club funding comes from declining government grants and increasingly competitive private foundation awards. “We are figuring out how to reach out to the community to sustain ourselves as other funding sources are disappearing,” says Brobst. The organization’s Valentine’s Gala on February 7, at which Thomas will speak, is its biggest annual fundraiser, returning 100 percent of proceeds from the live and silent auctions to the club. Although Thomas will age out of the program at 18, he was recently hired as a recreational staff aide at the Oroville Teen Center and plans to continue working while attending school. “He’s a great asset for us,” adds Center Director Spiegler. “He is not afraid to ask questions. He truly wants to be all he can be.” • www.bgcnv.org • (530) 899-0335

RED BLUFF WOODWORKER MIKE SHAFFER THE TRAINED EYE OF A TRUE CRAFTSMAN WOODWORKER sees the grain of a board that may have been discarded to the elements and now appears warped and weathered. Through careful refinement, those rough edges can be smoothed over to reveal a warm glow that highlights the essence of what was once a wondrous tree. That essence then becomes shaped into something beautiful, perhaps a table, chair or bowl. But first the craftsman must be able to see the potential, to look beyond the wrecked facade and know that the time-consuming effort to uncover layers of devastation will result in something remarkable.4 continued on page 56

Red Bluff 's Mike Shaffer has had a long history of creating functional pieces of beauty from all sorts of wood. From high-end homes and businesses in Beverly Hills to wineries in the Napa Valley to homes around Tehama County and the North State, he's left his mark with cabinets, bars and tables. “Our specialty became wineries,” he says of the business he took over from his father in 1992. “That was our bread and butter for many years.” As time wore on, Shaffer started scaling back his business, paying attention to the toll years of work had taken on his back. It wasn't long, however, before Tehama County Chief Probation Officer Richard Muench came calling, asking him to work with his alternative custody offenders in a woodworking program that would teach tangible job skills using funds from the AB109 Community Corrections Partnership. Shaffer signed on, turning the eye that can see the beauty of a weathered piece of wood to some of the county's most weathered individuals. He did so with gusto, assembling a team to set about creating a show-stopping concession stand for the historic State Theatre in Red Bluff. The State Theatre is in many ways the pride of the county and its cultural home

There’s an excitement in the air. The ladies are adorned in their most stunning gowns. Their three-quarter-length gloves are the picture of elegance. The gentlemen, dapper as ever, gather the courage to invite their favorite young lady to the dance floor. This is the night—prom night—the one they have waited their whole lives to enjoy. There is something lovely about the remembrance of the happy, carefree days of youth—the days when dancing feet could stomp out the woes of the world. The Really Senior Prom is a chance for local senior citizens to take a joyful tour back in time. For some North State senior citizens, it is a chance to enjoy the prom experience they never had as high school students. Since 2009, the Really Senior Prom has touched the lives of senior citizens and high school seniors alike. This project, the brainchild of Shasta High School teacher Lisa Ferguson, was born out of a desire to do something kind for North State senior citizens while raising funds for a local nonprofit organization. It's also an opportunity to bridge the gap between young and old, a chance for two farremoved generations to find common ground on which to dance the night away.4 continued on page 60 FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 59
“They mingle so well together,” says Jan Blood, a volunteer with Prevent Blindness of Northern California, who works with Ferguson and a passionate bunch of high school seniors to put on an unforgettable night. This year’s theme is “Eye Only Have Eyes for You,” since the event will be a fundraiser for Prevent Blindness of Northern California. This group is an affiliate of the nonprofit Prevent Blindness of America, which strives to provide eye health to everyone, from preschool age children to seniors. The organization provides vision screening, connects people with appropriate care, trains health care professionals and volunteers to perform vision screening, raises public awareness of the importance of vision health and advocates for public policy to protect vision. The students are working wholeheartedly to recreate the era in which the senior citizens grew up. On Saturday, February 21, Shasta High School’s gym will be transformed. Shasta High School’s Jazz Band will set the night to music from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and food will be catered by three teams from Shasta High’s culinary arts program. The school’s Reserve Officer Training Corps will provide a warm welcome to the Really Senior Prom-goers as they escort them into the event. Local dance groups, including Belles and Beaus of Anderson, are invited to attend in addition to anyone who is high school aged and above. Tickets are $5. Seniors are not required to bring a date. It can be taken on good authority that plenty of high school seniors would delight at the chance to take a senior citizen for a whirl around the dance floor. Jan Blood recalls her most treasured moment from a past Really Senior Prom: “The first year, there was a young man from the Associated Student Body in attendance. He was 18 years old. The highlight of the evening was watching him dance with a 96-year-old woman who was a member of Belles and Beaus. It always stands out in my mind.” “What is most endearing about this event is seeing the youth enjoy and drink up the wealth of knowledge our senior population has to offer," Blood says. "I remember hearing one of the kids say, ‘It felt good to be able to give back to a group of people that has given us all so much’.” • The Really Senior Prom • Saturday, February 21 • 6 pm to 9 pm Shasta High School Gymnasium • Tickets $5 each, can be purchased at the door For more information, contact Jan Blood • (530) 917-8008 Prevent Blindness of Northern California • (530) 243-0414

ON VALENTINE’S DAY, we profess our love and are cherished in return. This month's crafts include one especially for kids, which is the perfect way to share your love of crafting with the little ones who own your heart. First, the adult crafts:
YOU WILL NEED:
300 coffee filters, hot glue gun, stapler and cardboard or foam board cut into a wreath form. It wouldn’t hurt to have a little bowl of ice sitting nearby to soothe burnt fingers, or, pick up little silicone finger tips from a craft shop to protect your skin.
COFFEE FILTER WREATH Coffee filter crafts are all the rage right now. Who would have thought something so simple and cheap could produce such fabulous results? Instead of using a wreath form as depicted, you could also use a heart shape. The wreath can be used year around — just add a flair of your favorite holiday décor. 1. Take 2 coffee filters and fold them in half, smoothing the bottom, but allowing the top to remain full. Fold in half two more times, leaving a ¼” size, which will look like a little fan. Staple the bottom to secure the folds. This will take about 30-45 minutes to do — a perfect task while you are watching a movie or visiting with friends. 2. Apply the hot glue to the wreath and press the bottom of each flower into the wreath. Work your way around until the surface is covered. 3. Let it dry overnight, then fluff to reach the desired fullness. Tip: One white filter with one brown filter gives it a pretty, shabby-chic look.
PUSSY WILLOW BRANCHES This craft is ingenious and easy! A bit skeptical about how “real” they would look, I was pleasantly surprised and love the way it displays on my mantel. You can do this with just about anything (little berries, flowers, Valentine’s hearts) to match the season or your taste. For this craft, you will need branches (from your yard works great), cotton swabs, clippers and a hot glue gun. 1. Snip the heads off both ends of the cotton swab. 2. When you have the desired number of tips, heat up your glue gun. 3. Place a small dot of glue onto the branch where you will apply the cotton swab head. Selecting areas where leaves or branches broke off will make it look more realistic. 4. Attach as many as you like, alternating between groupings of one to three. 5. Arrange in your favorite vase or jar.4

And the kid craft: GOOFY POM-POM VALENTINES Instead of buying store-made cards for your child’s classmates, let your little ones get creative and make their own. It will save you money, too! Not to mention, it’s a good excuse for you to play with furry pom-poms and wacky eyes. Allows your child’s creativity to go wild. You will need pom-poms, pipe cleaners, scrap paper (or paint samples), googly eyes, kid-safe scissors and glue. 1. Cut out as many hearts as needed for the kids in your child’s class. If you draw the hearts out for the younger ones, they can help you cut the shapes. 2. Place a small dot of glue on the bottom of the pom-pom and glue to the bottom point of the heart, so the “face” of the pom-pom looks toward the curves of the heart, which will act as feet now that the point is covered. 3. Use little clippings of pipe cleaners for arms, mouths and decoration. Apply the googly eyes to the “head”. 4. Repeat until done.
Charles Dickens once said, “Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires and a touch that never hurts.” On this Valentine’s Day, be well, be happy — be loved! •

Positively Love You
H
eart shaped cut-outs and boxes with sweet treats stamped “Be Mine” and “I Love You” are so fun to share on Valentine’s Day. But what if you could share a valentine with your child each and every day? The kind of loving valentine that grows a deep, positive connection between parent and child from baby to big kid and all the way into your child’s adulthood? No one says parenting will always be easy, but using some of the routines and tips offered by Triple P, the Positive Parenting Program, can reduce child (or parent) behavior blowouts and increase the joyful moments that help everyone grow. Think of Triple P as a valentine made of positive words, actions, and consistency. Every parent/child relationship is unique, so Triple P provides many ideas for managing child behavior with a confident, consistent and positive approach. It starts with understanding how your family works best and establishing routines that prove to be a good fit for your child and family. As children grow, learn, and evolve, parents must also evolve in their role. But the routines that work with toddlers can be adapted to the needs of teens, reducing frustration and the difficult interactions that occur from time to time. Triple P offers ideas for managing child behavior whether the issues you are experiencing are common or lean toward more severe. Want to raise children who feel good about themselves, are able to make friends, and do well in school? Positive parenting can help. Learn more about the everyday
“I love you” of positive parenting at www.triplepshasta.com. First 5 Shasta is building a pathway to success for young children ages 0-to-5.

LANGUAGE ARTS T H E A F R O B E AT S O U N D S O F A N T I B A L A S BEFORE THE BROOKLYN-BASED band Antibalas appeared in the late 1990s, few people outside of West Africa were hip to Afrobeat, the funk-infused Nigerian party sound innovated by Fela Kuti in the ‘70s. Despite Nigeria’s oil wealth, daily life has been a struggle for the average citizen. Necessities like clean water and electricity remain elusive to many, and the government consistently ranks among the most corrupt in surveys by international organizations. Against this backdrop, the late revolutionary musical hero Kuti created Afrobeat, a powerful mixture of American funk and jazz, West African highlife and rebellious lyrics. He challenged the military rulers of Nigeria and portrayed the plight of his people in his songs, which he sang in the dialect of the streets. Made in America, Antibalas, whose name means “bulletproof ” in Spanish, has played a big part in
introducing Afrobeat to a wider global audience, influencing countless musicians and developing a legendary live show, after musical founder Martín Perna became a passionate follower of Kuti’s musical vision. Says Perna, “Afrobeat is a musical language. When studying a language, you have to study the grammar at first. But when a language migrates, there will always be new turns of phrase, the way British English is different from Jamaican English. As we became fluent in this style of music, we developed our own accent. The intention was never to write songs imagining that Fela Kuti was writing them. But we write with reverence for him as an artist.” For the first year, the group played strictly noncommercial spaces (block parties, community markets, parks, lofts, rooftops, basements) until it was offered a weekly gig at No Moore in Lower Manhattan in August 1999.4 continued on page 70
FEBRUARY 2015 ENJOY | 69
For 16 months, the band held a Friday night residency called Africalia, featuring three or four sets by Antibalas, as well as guests including Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Sugarman Three, The Mighty Imperials and members of Fela Kuti's Africa 70 and Egypt 80 bands. After No Moore closed its doors, the group began touring nationally and internationally at premier jazz, world music and rock festivals and has since then performed 1,500-plus shows in more than 30 countries. Recalls Perna, “About two years after Antibalas formed, we got to perform with Kuti’s drummer, Tony Allen (the creator of the beat in Afrobeat) and then spent a week with Dele Sosimi, who was part of the Egypt 80 band and later Femi Kuti’s Positive Force. We learned some of Dele’s amazing originals, and he chose some Fela songs for us to perform. It was a intense and fun collaboration and we got a lot deeper into the music. Since that time, we’ve had other meetings and jams with members of Fela’s Africa 70 and Egypt 80 bands, which has seasoned our music. Fela’s son Seun Kuti came to see us in London. He had been doing hip-hop, and within two years of him appearing as a special guest with us, he went back to Nigeria and put the Egypt 80 back together. I like to think Antibalas helped reinvigorate the energy of many of the people who were connected to Fela.” Over the course of five studio albums and 14 years of touring, Antibalas has become the chief exponent of Afrobeat, alongside Kuti’s sons, Femi and Seun.’
70 | ENJOY FEBRUARY 2015
Antibalas clearly knows what it wants to do, while still taking stock of its roots and what it has already done. “Artists are the canaries in the coal mine in a lot of ways,” explains Perna. “When things happen, we’re the first to notice. We try to talk about things as they happen. One of our songs on our latest release, “Dirty Money,” is all about that. It talks about corporate welfare, about all the capitalizing on disaster that happened around Katrina. A lot of money was thrown at New Orleans, and other people caught it. The assistance was barely enough to keep people afloat, and was never meant to pull them out of the water to begin with. It made us feel outraged, but you can’t live your life being angry, there has to be a celebratory release that we’re alive to witness all of it. Our music reflects both of those sides.” • Zap Mama with Antibalas February 18 • Chico State's Laxson Auditorium www.chicoperformances.com February 19 • Humboldt State's John Van Duzer Theatre www.humboldt.edu

VA L E N T I N E ’ S B A K E D P E A R S Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup butter 2 large Bosc, Anjou or Bartlett pears, ripe, but not overripe 2 T lemon juice 2 T sherry 2 tsp. sugar ¼ tsp. teaspoon cinnamon ¼ tsp. nutmeg ¼ cup dried cranberries ½ cup apple or orange juice ½ cup vanilla low-fat frozen yogurt, divided into 4 small scoops
STEP ONE In a medium bowl, stir flour and sugar together. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Wash and peel pears; cut in half lengthwise and remove the core and seeds using a melon baller, creating a hole in each pear half. Place pear halves, cut sides up, in a buttered 9-inch glass pie plate.
STEP TWO Sprinkle fruit with the lemon juice and sherry. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and spoon evenly over the pear halves. Top each pear with cranberries and the flour/sugar mixture. Pour juice into pan, in and around the pear halves so as not to disturb toppings. Bake the pears in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the fruit is soft. Test for doneness with a fork.
STEP THREE Use a large slotted spoon to transfer the pears to individual serving plates. Drizzle any remaining juices over the pears and enjoy warm with a scoop of frozen yogurt.

Whiskeytown by Billy Pilgrim Cemetery
It is perhaps the most eclectic and intriguing burial ground in the state of California, and it’s nestled deep in the forest a few miles from Redding. It’s Whiskeytown Cemetery in Whiskeytown National Park. A cemetery is usually a somber, sobering place to visit. Whiskeytown Cemetery can have some of those qualities, but it also has a quirky, almost party-like vibe, with the most unique memorials you can imagine. Originally located in the town of Whiskeytown (the original site would be at the bottom of the lake), the gravesites were moved to their present location in 1963, prior to the lake’s filling. And now interred in this beautiful forest are pioneer families, the wealthy, the indigent, babies, cowboys, captains of industry...the long gone and the recently departed. Leon Mitchell, the very first superintendent of Whiskeytown National Park, is buried here. There is no end to the creative decorations that adorn the gravesites and honor the loved ones who have passed through this veil of tears. And it seems like almost anything is appropriate, as long as it’s not in poor taste. A single burial plot in this most special place is $500 for a Shasta County resident, $750 for a double plot, with a $150 surcharge for an out-of-county resident. To get to this wild spot just on the other side of Heaven, take John F. Kennedy Memorial Drive off Highway 299 about three miles and you are there. Many thanks to Breanna Cooper, interpretative ranger from Whiskeytown National Park, for help with the research for this article. Breanna told me she has the best job in the world.

Happy 16th Anniversary 16 years ago on Valentine’s Day Julie and I were married. One of the first things we did as a married couple was to create Disappearing Act. We started with just one laser, the LightSheer Laser for Permanent Hair Reduction. Laser Hair Removal has gotten much faster, affordable and comfortable over the years, and it is still one of the most popular treatments at Disappearing Act. My wife has not shaved for over 15 years! We are celebrating our anniversary with a special on hair removal. It has been a wonderful 16 years watching our family grow and seeing our business expand. Thank you for your loyalty and trust, Jory N. Kaplan MD., FACS

STRENGTHEN & SERVE “Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another. " ~ Erma Bombeck
KIWANIS, celebrating 100 years this year, is located in 80 nations and helps communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different—so each Kiwanis club is different.
This global organization is dedicated to serving the children of the world. Kiwanis and its family of clubs— more than 600,000 members strong—annually raise more than $100 million and dedicate more than 18.5 million volunteer hours to strengthen communities and serve children. Members of every age attend regular meetings, experience fellowship, raise funds for various causes and participate in service projects.
Kiwanis International offers three clubs for adults: Kiwanis, Aktion Club and Circle K International. Kiwanis sponsors 150,000 service projects each year. Aktion Club is the only community service and leadership development club for adults living with disabilities. Circle K International is the world’s largest student-led collegiate service organization, with clubs on 504 campuses. Key Club, the oldest and largest service organization for teens, teaches leadership through service to others. Builders Club provides adolescents with opportunities to develop leadership, improve self-esteem, increase civic engagement and learn life skills through service. Kiwanis Kids provides elementary students with opportunities to work together on service projects, develop leadership potential and create strong moral character.
Terrific Kids and Bring Up Grades, both for students age 6–12, teach children to plan and set goals and work with others and celebrate success. Key Leader is a weekend leadership retreat for teens. HOW YOU CAN HELP: By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. To find a Kiwanis club near you, visit www.kiwanis.org.
