May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures.

May all life’s passing seasons bring the best to you and yours.

- Irish blessing Love and laughter, peace and plenty—we wish this for all of you this St. Patrick’s Day, and we hope the offerings on our pages this month provide joy that endures.

First, Karen Kelly tells us about her love of alpacas, the fuzzy, long-lashed sweethearts who provide luxurious fibers for knitters’ pleasure. Then, be inspired by the Tehama County youth who are immersed in joyful learning at Makerspace.

Their creativity is channeled through electronics, computer coding, graphic arts, videography and engineering, and they’re building the futures they want.

Speaking of futures, the Shasta Angel Group for Entrepreneurs helps brilliant ideas bloom by bridging the disconnect between investors and startups. Meanwhile, Shasta College is teaching by example when it comes to sustainability—it models excellent stewardship by generating solar energy, recycling all over campus, using kitchen scraps to fortify its farm animals and much more. We’ll tell you more about their efforts.

Baseball fans know Tim Flannery as a professional ballplayer and coach. Musicians know him as a member of Lunatic Fringe. We’ll tell you how he has blended both of those passions to benefit others—and when you can see him perform in Redding.

Then follow that rainbow in the sky, and you’ll likely find that elusive pot of gold right in the middle of downtown Weaverville. This charming gold rush town is a lovely destination for a Sunday drive.

May the luck of the Irish smile upon you always. Enjoy!

SUBLIME CAKE & DESIGN DELIVERS YUMMINESS DUFF GOLDMAN’S “ACE OF CAKES” TELEVISION SHOW inspired Redding reggae and punk rock musician Wiley Saccheri to trade his drumsticks for a spatula. “They’re all musicians and just have fun and they’re artists and they paint,” Saccheri says. “It wasn’t just a cake decorating thing. It was an artistic medium.”

Never did the self-taught cake artist imagine, however, that he would end up in Goldman’s bakery on national television, competing for the coveted “golden whisk” on the Food Network series premiere of “Duff Till Dawn.”

Saccheri, the co-owner of Sublime Cake Design in Redding, answered an open casting call for the show. “I always try to sign up for stuff like that,” says Saccheri, who won his company’s custom-wrapped Nissan cargo van in a contest by creating a funny video about how tough it is to deliver cakes in cars.

On Jan. 29, Charm City Cakes West in Los Angeles became an afterhours battleground for two teams of cake decorators who worked overnight to create the coolest, creepiest cake to fit the “Monster Mayhem” theme. The cake needed to include a damsel (or dude) in distress, and a few hours into the challenge, Goldman threw in another twist — the damsel (or dude) needed to fight back.

Assisted by Sublime co-owner Jackie New (his mother-in-law), Saccheri built a metal frame and used cake and buttercream frosting to sculpt

“Oculus,” a gory, green monster who had pulled out his own eyeballs and was holding them triumphantly over his head. A network of plastic tubing formed nerve endings and veins that snaked back down to the eye sockets.

Rather than a damsel, Saccheri opted to create a “dudesel” in distress Duff Goldman himself. “He’s a creature that has ripped his own eyeballs out so he could properly see his victim before destroying him,” the Foothill High School graduate explained on the show. “The Duffsel in distress is riding him and stabbing him with a spear.”

Saccheri and New were faced with an unexpected challenge when their monster’s arm began to fall apart. “It’s a hot frickin’ mess, bro,” Saccheri said, as he and New attempted to patch it with white chocolate ganache.

When that was unsuccessful, their competitor, Kelly Zubal, gave them some wire to put the arm back together.

The Sublime team earned rave reviews for its Cloud 9 cake, which includes caramel, white chocolate and buttercream. “It tastes like breakfast — it’s really good,” Goldman said.

Ultimately, Zubal walked away with the prize for her fondant-wrapped apple monster who was being terrorized by a damsel wielding an apple peeler. But Saccheri was thrilled by the praise heaped upon him by Goldman. He used buttercream frosting, which poses a bigger challenge than the more forgiving fondant that is a mainstay for most other decorators.

“Duff said he’d only seen it twice. (The kitchen) was kind of a4

fondant factory — they literally had to go out and buy us stuff,” Saccheri says. “Buttercream takes a long time and it’s very fragile, and those hot lights are beaming down on you.”

The risk didn’t go unrecognized. “You did things with buttercream I couldn’t even dream of doing,” Goldman told him. “It’s really cool when you watch somebody who’s really good at what they do, do it.”

Saccheri got his start in this profession when the cake decorator left the bakery where he worked. “I jumped in there and started teaching myself,” Saccheri says. “Sometimes you stumble over those passions you never knew you had. I feel like cake decorating found me.” This was Saccheri’s second foray into the world of televised cake contests — he and New were assistants to Redding’s Roland and Marsha Winbeckler on “Ultimate Cake Off.” Sublime Cake Design started in a tiny shop on Bechelli Lane, and moved to Park Marina Drive a couple of years ago. Saccheri’s wife and high school sweetheart, Tiffanie, is their customer service expert, and one of their closest friends bakes everything. Saccheri himself decorates every one of the bakery’s “highly customized” cakes, and customers gobble up hundreds of their cupcakes each week. Although they’re growing steadily, “we want to keep it small batches,” he says. “It’s our thing to make everything by hand and we want to keep it that way. I like the small vibe we have here.”

The toughest cakes are those that look like actual people and those that require structural support. “Believe it or not, there’s a lot of carpentry involved,” he says. “Even simple things like a car, it’s tricky to get a cake to sit on four wheels.” His favorite projects are “guy cakes” and “the crazy monster gory stuff - zombies and stuff like that,” he says - in fact, the cake he made for his own Halloween-themed wedding featured gravestones, arms stretching out of the ground and blood gushing over the sides.

They’ve done cakes for weddings, birthdays, graduations, baby gender reveals, office parties — even one divorce. He’s made submarines, army 16 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

vehicles, iPhones and more. The Saccheris gave “Walking Dead” star Norman Reedus a cake of his likeness at Comic Con, and Reedus opted to put a photo of the cake on the cover of his book.

And although Saccheri has done so many “Frozen”-themed cakes that he no longer needs to print out pictures of the characters as a reference, it never gets old, he says. “Every time I do it, I think of the person on the other side of the cake who’s going to be so stoked, it’s going to brighten their day,” he says. • www.sublimecakedesign.com

charm

S T E P B A C K I N T I M E I N D O W N T O W N W E AV E R V I L L E WEAVERVILLE HAS SUCH A CLASSIC small-town look and feel, a visitor couldn’t be faulted for wondering if a Hollywood set designer had just come through in preparation for a film set in the 1800s.

All the elements are in place: old brick buildings, complete with historical markers; quaint shops and galleries; inviting saloons that serve as portals to the past and the olden days of gold-mining glory; and comfortable restaurants serving up 21st century fare with 19th century amenities.

Yet Weaverville has a few twists to separate it from other historic downtowns that dot the North State. A pair of spiral staircases adds extra charm to Main Street; the iron banisters were necessary since the upper floor of the two-story buildings had separate owners.4 continued on page 20

MARCH 2015 ENJOY | 19

“THERE’S A NICE MIX OF SHOPS, OFFICES, RESTAURANTS AND BARS, ART GALLERIES ALL WITHIN EASY WALKING DISTANCE. WITHIN A ONEOR TWO-BLOCK AREA, THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO,” HE SAYS.

The historic downtown district also is home to the Weaverville Joss House, a 140-year-old, still active Chinese Taoist temple that’s also a state park. The Joss House provides a visible link to Weaverville’s past when more than 2,000 Chinese lived there during the height of the gold rush.

As the Trinity County seat, Weaverville is home to the second oldest courthouse in California. The Hocker Building, built in 1856 as a store and hotel, now houses the Trinity County Superior Court and the Board of Supervisors chambers.

Across the street is an oldfashioned bandstand that was built in 1901 and continues to serve as the focal point of community events.

Wayne Agner, president of the Trinity County Chamber of Commerce and editor of the weekly Trinity Journal, likes Weaverville both for the things it offers and the things it doesn’t. “There’s a nice 20 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

mix of shops, offices, restaurants and bars, art galleries all within easy walking distance. Within a one- or two-block area, there is a lot you can do,” he says.

Conversely, “if you want to get unplugged, we’re a perfect place to do it. There’s plenty of cell reception, but if you want to get away from it all, just duck behind another mountain and you’ll lose it.

“It’s a little slower-paced and less hectic. You can get up here, enjoy yourself, have a nice long lunch, sit by the river, sit by the lake or do whatever you want to do. It’s a real nice getaway,” Agner says.

Olson Stoneware, one of the stalwarts of downtown Weaverville and situated in the picturesque Buck & Cole Building (1856), is a great getaway target. It’s filled with handmade, hand-fired ceramics by Greg Olson, a potter who brought his artistic passion to Trinity County in 1975 and opened his first4 continued on page 22

Olson and his wife, Susie, purchased their current studio and shop in 1984 and have been a Main Street fixture ever since. “We just love our building and the fact it was built 160 years ago,” says Olson, 63. Susie Olson manages the retail operation while Olson focuses on pots and creating his distinctive stoneware.

“We just enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area, the small-town nature and the history of the area— and what a great place to raise our two daughters,” Olson says. “We feel having our shop in that area, kind of the woodsy nature theme in our shop, coincides with the hiking, camping, fishing and boating … the old-time feel and flavor of it.”

Like many other North State communities, the California gold rush played a huge role in the development of Weaverville. Prospectors and miners by the hundreds poured

into the town following the discovery of gold in 1849.

Within five years, permanent “fireproof ” brick buildings and framed homes had replaced the itinerant tent city and Weaverville emerged as a thriving town on the flanks of the majestic Trinity Alps.

The Jake Jackson Museum, also on Main Street, is a great spot to study up on Weaverville’s history. • For more info: Trinity County Chamber of Commerce (800) 487-4648 or (530) 623-6101 www.trinitycounty.com Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 33 years of experience.

M A K E R S PAC E B R I N G S J OY B AC K I N TO T H E C L A S S R O O M WITH A BRIGHT SMILE, SPARKLY EYES and a laugh that can be heard throughout the halls of the Tehama County Department of Education, Michelle Carlson seems to have a default setting of joy. To be around her is to experience a jolt of happiness infused with optimism. It’s hard to imagine her brightening any higher than her default.

Yet brighten she does as she tells the story of the first test experience bringing youth into the new Makerspace she has developed at the department. Not one to shy away from criticism, she invited a group of middle school students from a Red Bluff school to spend time playing with Squishy Circuits, conductive clay that, with LED lights, batteries and wires, can be used to create circuits that light up.

She delights in the telling of the seemingly disaffected girl who, during a feedback session, said, “When they told me we were going on a field trip about science, I thought, ‘Meh’. Then you brought us here to do stuff!”

The girl assured Michelle, and her teachers, that she would love to come back to the Makerspace.4 continued on page 26

MARCH 2015 ENJOY | 25

That single response was the watershed moment of knowing for Carlson, who has invested months of passion, vision and just plain hard work into the development of the Makerspace.

“It’s a place where Tehama County kids can experience joyful learning,” says Carlson. “They can use their hands. It’s a place where the journey is the experience. And the journey is different for everyone.”

The Makerspace grew out of a confluence of two ideas and two co-workers who found themselves driven with optimism about two similar projects. Carlson had produced a public service announcement for Tehama Reads that received phenomenal feedback — so much that her management team realized the need to invest in a space for creation of digital messaging. Maureen Clements, a math specialist, attended a Making Possibilities workshop in the Bay Area and came back enthused to develop a Maker Fair for Tehama County kids.

“If we’re going to have a Maker Fair,” Carlson thought, “we’re going to have to teach kids to work, to make.” That concept set her to expand her digital arts studio into a true Makerspace, one that incorporates electronics, computer coding, graphic arts, videography, and engineering activities.

“Pretty much every single activity is centered around making something, and every aspect of that creation,” says Carlson, who enthuses about how this will bring curiosity and fun back to learning.

“For the last couple of decades, education has been something that has taken the joy out of learning,” she says. “This is a way to bring it back. It’s a place to feed your heart, feed your hands, feed your mind and feed your soul.”

“Kids are definitely going to learn,” she says, “but they’re going to learn in a way that is more powerful and meaningful.” For her first class of 75 students from Gerber Elementary School, Carlson set up stations of Squishy Circuits and paper circuits. These fun, hands-on activities incorporate art, design, science and engineering.

“Bigger, and more importantly,” Carlson says of the activities at the Makerspace, “when you understand better how things in this world work — how to fix and interact — it gives you an ultimate sense of empowerment. You never become stuck.”

“Pretty much every single activity is centered around making something, and every aspect of that creation,” says Carlson

26 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

The Makerspace is open to kids of all ages with a limitless sense of possibilities. The SERRF after school program has written visits into its countywide curriculum. Members of Club Live, a student leadership group, are developing tobacco awareness videos to share with their peers. Schools are lining up to bring their students in for field trips.

When they arrive, they quickly realize that the Makerspace is no average place. Inspired by the magic of 826 Valencia, a San Francisco youth writing program within an atmosphere of a pirate ship, the Makerspace has an industrial, rustic feel, where the wisdom of the ages of simple gears and cogs combines with the sleek, space-age feel of modern technology.

Carlson’s husband, Jim, a woodworker, stepped in to create tables and cabinetry that inspire as much as they become useful. Industrial carpet was torn out to reveal the original wood flooring of the historic building. A traditional chalkboard is used for instructions and greetings, but the writing is thoroughly modern, steeped in elements of design.

A tweet that Carlson sent out about the space caught the attention of Steve Davee, director of education at Maker Ed, a nonprofit organization based in Berkeley that supports educators to provide more opportunities for kids to make things. He was impressed. “A lot of times the highest profile places are those that are more welloff financially,” he says. In his search for a great example of a rural space, he says, “It was just exactly what I was looking for. I am just so incredibly proud of all the effort that’s gone into that Red Bluff space.” Carlson and Tehama youth have been invited to showcase their work at an upcoming Bay Area Maker Fair.

The Makerspace held its grand opening at the beginning of the year, with Carlson enthused about the multitudes of possibilities for kids. “This is the place where we can give kids the tools they need to build the future they want,” she says. “That’s the ‘why.’” • Makerspace Tehama County Department of Education 1135 Lincoln St., Red Bluff www.tehamaschools.org/department/educational-technology/ makerspace

SHOWTIME

T I M F L A N N E RY & T H E L U N AT I C F R I N G E M A K E T H E I R WAY TO T H E C I V I C FOR MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE, TIM FLANNERY has traveled down parallel roads. On one path, he was a musician with a baseball habit; on the other, he was a professional ballplayer who just couldn’t put his guitar down for very long.

Fate brought those two paths together along with his competing worlds—the stage, the recording studio, the dugout and even the third-base coach’s box at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

It was opening day of the 2011 baseball season, Flannery’s fifth as a coach with the San Francisco Giants. The Giants were playing their rivals, the Dodgers, in Los Angeles. Following the game, Bryan Stow, a 42-year-old Giants fan and father of two who had traveled south from Santa Cruz to take in the game, was assaulted in the parking lot.

Stow was left with a debilitating brain injury and Flannery was left with an opportunity.

A fan who had heard Flannery perform his Irish-tinged bluegrass music in San Diego, where the ballplayer spent 11 seasons with the Padres, asked if he’d be willing to perform at Yoshi’s in San Francisco to benefit Stow and his family.

He readily agreed and the show was booked shortly after the 2011 season ended. “I felt it was a great opportunity to raise awareness and some desperately needed money for the Stow family,” Flannery says.

Flannery and his band, the Lunatic Fringe, sold out Yoshi’s that night.

A second show was booked in Napa. Bob Weir, the longtime Grateful Dead guitarist and an ardent Giants fan, got wind of the show and joined in. After the last note rang out, Flannery was able to give Bonnie Stow, Bryan’s sister, an envelope stuffed with more than $70,000.

The following year, after the Giants captured the second World Series championship during Flannery’s tenure, the Lunatic Fringe played four straight nights of benefits. Other musician friends, including Jackson Browne and Jackie Greene, pitched in at times.

Coupled with proceeds from the sale of “Outside Lands,” Flannery’s 12th CD, and a series of other gigs Flannery played, the coach handed the Stow family another $96,000.

Why? “I fell in love with the family,” Flannery, 57, says from the rustic off-the-grid home he shares with his wife, Donna, in a canyon north of Santa Barbara. “That’s why I’m doing it.”

Pretty impressive for a guy who vowed to keep his musical life behind lock and key when his longtime baseball sidekick, Bruce Bochy, asked Flannery to head north in 2007 and help him coach the Giants.

“When I came up, I was not going to let anybody in on my music,” Flannery says. “That didn’t happen.”

It didn’t happen because music has been an inextricable part of Flannery’s life almost since birth and it accompanied him throughout his 35-year career in baseball. As soon as the final out was recorded each fall, Flannery would store his cleats, pick up his guitar, get his band back together and start playing shows.

Flannery's ancestors emigrated from Ireland in the 1700s and settled in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, bringing with them a musical heritage and an appreciation for whiskey.

Flannery’s father, a “hillbilly preacher,” shook his Appalachian roots and brought the family to Southern California, stopping first in Redondo Beach and then Anaheim. Music and baseball were both big4

in Flannery’s upbringing and he pursued both with a passion. One of Flannery’s uncles played banjo; another, Hal Smith, was a songwriter who also starred for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“We settled in California but I was kind of raised on that Kentucky mountain ancestry with the whole feel of mountain people, but I was also around that cosmic California kind of music. A lot of Gram Parsons,” Flannery says.

Now, after making the decision in November to step away from baseball, Flannery says he has more time to devote to his music and his new cause, the Love Harder Project. He’ll continue to support the Stow family while expanding his efforts.

“I want to get into anti-bullying, maybe set up a network with crisis counselors, get people involved and shine a light on the ignorance of the crime. You can’t fight hate with violence: the only thing is to love harder.

“That’s the great thing about music,” Flannery says. “I enjoy the people I play with and we’re doing something more important than playing a ball game. We won a World Series, and that’s what we came up there to do. And then the demands to do it again. And again. I felt like I held up my end of the contract. To be a part of that baseball history is a great honor, but I felt like I just didn’t need to keep running 30 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

up and down that line till I dropped dead.

“I felt it was a perfect time to heal up and do other things in my life that I hope people will remember. After three World Series, I’d like my legacy to be known as somebody who used their music to help others.”• Tim Flannery & The Lunatic Fringe perform March 21 at the Redding Civic Auditorium.

W E L C O M E T O P O L L A R D F L AT U S A HALFWAY BETWEEN CANADA AND MEXICO, along Interstate 5, truckers and travelers pass through history. The trip into the northern mountains of California levels out for a few miles, going through the shadows left by the once-thriving gold rush community of Portuguese Flat, whose bullet-hole-laden buildings have been replaced by a truck stop and restaurant, Pollard Flat USA. A large cross of lights welcomes visitors to pull off Exit 712 to the woodplanked building, resembling an old western saloon placed out of time. Gas pumps and a truck parking area seem out of place, while the wooded hills rise above the restaurant, which is perched above the churning river below.

Inside, tables are filled with customers, with steaming bowls of the establishment’s signature split pea soup. Ham steaks, biscuits and gravy, along with steaming cups of coffee cover the tables. Members of the Harsh family’s four generations have greeted people here since 1973 when Florence Harsh took over the business, founded in 1922 by Jesse Getchell.

Getchell purchased the 140 acres from the railroad for $750. The dream began as a gas pump and later expanded into a restaurant and store.

The Sacramento Canyon above Redding became crowded with mining camps during the California gold boom of the 1850s. Portuguese gold miners settled in their own community, known as Portuguese Flat. Ross and Mary McCloud opened an inn in 1855 and remained there until the town was abandoned in 1885. The crowded village was filled with many of the4

notorious individuals of the time, earning the place the reputation of being the roughest camp in the state.

Bill Harsh looked at a distance at his mother’s business. “I went to my pastor and asked what I should do with my life,” Harsh says. “I was impacted by the Bible and the verse in which God makes all things new.” In 1982, he moved here with his wife Janet to become part of its history. His infectious smile breathes atmosphere into the room as he serves customers. He is now the help, having passed the management over to his son, Daniel, and wife Rebecca.

The Harshes are not the only residents. For over 50 years, Gertie has welcomed guests in the building’s restroom. She is a mannequin, resting clothed in a bathtub. As the unsuspecting enter, customers are entertained by astonished cries of those unnerved by the feeling they have disturbed a bather. At times, a button on the outside wall has provided a scream to accompany the experience. A quick glance at restaurant reviews will find Gertie is a major roadside attraction, in which generations of customers have returned again and again to introduce their families to her. Harsh once paid a lady $100 to sit in the bathtub as a joke and talk to truck drivers when they first entered.

Down a short hall, leading to the business office, a glass case holds Flathead Junior, the ever-present rattlesnake who delightfully flickers

his tongue at the curious children who gaze into his hovel. His predecessor, Flathead, enjoyed this spot for 22 years. Now in his 18th year, Junior rests coiled and observing those walking by his home.

The walls are covered with license plates from around the world, along with frames of money from the various countries of customers.

A wood stove churns out heat into the business. Drinks come in mason jars as truckers sit at the long yellow counter in front. A small library of books is in one corner, while World War Two headlines are framed and present the feeling that time swirls like an eddy here.

“I felt God gave me a mission here,” Harsh says. “Every Thanksgiving we offer a free dinner.” This year, more than 200 people stopped by to celebrate at Pollard Flat. Some families have made it their tradition. “One man donates an antique to the restaurant each year,” Harsh says as he points out the hand-pumped vacuum cleaner in the front entrance case.

Poet Joaquin Miller recovered at this spot from injuries in a battle with Native Americans.

Today, countless travelers stop for a break, a laugh and a view into the rich past of these few acres. But for Harsh and many of those stopping, “this is home.”•

LEGEND RED BLUFF’S WILLIAM WONG FOEY

WILLIAM WONG FOEY DOES A BIT OF MATH to explain his heritage. He is 64, born to a man who was in his 40s as he became his father. That man, in turn, had been born to a father in his early 60s. This is how Foey came to have a grandfather who was born in 1849. That sexagenarian was one of Red Bluff ’s first Chinese immigrants, arriving in the town after uprooting from South China, a region commonly referred to as Canton.

Rio Street in Red Bluff, an expanse of land about 10 blocks long that snakes along the Sacramento River downtown, was once a bustling China Town, filled with immigrants seeking the American Dream.

“The Chinese term for California or America in general is The Gold Mountain,” says Foey.

“We had this misconception that the streets were paved with gold.” While the streets weren’t quite what they expected, Foey’s grandfather became an entrepreneur and did well, despite the hardships of the time magnified by overt racism. There was an evening when townspeople came to his home with torches shouting to leave the area, but he resolutely stayed put.4

continued on page 38 MARCH 2015 ENJOY | 37

Today, Rio Street is relatively quiet, featuring homes and businesses that neither detract nor attract to the area. “The work kind of dried up, so most of the Chinese moved to the Bay Area or Sacramento to find work,” says Foey. “My family and the Yuen family are the only two to remain.” In each, two brothers live quietly in Red Bluff.

Despite the lack of Chinese culture and community in his hometown, Foey lives steeped in it through his writing and art. “I have been an artist since I was 3 years old,” he says. “For most of my life I’ve painted every day. When I took up writing, I started writing every day.”

Writing was an art that found him at age 42, but the 20-something years since have been fruitful, with an ever-growing list of stories produced and books published.

His first, “Winter Melon,” published in December 2012, is a fictionalized account of the 1937 Japanese invasion of China, an event

that took the life of an uncle in Foey’s family. “It was inspired by the tragedy of my uncle disappearing,” he says. “I integrated the true historical facts with a fictional character. To me, it’s a statement about how a tragedy changes people in so many negative ways. And you have to deal with it. Not only deal with it, but move on with your life.”

Indeed, much of Foey’s writing is fictionalized telling of family events and lore, inspired by the stories that shaped him growing up and his quest to hold onto a cultural identity as his community has moved on from Red Bluff. “The Last Chinaman,” a story from “Lotus Land,” published in 2014, is the re-imagined story of his father’s first wife, who died while pregnant with her second son at age 19 because the town doctor refused to assist the Chinese family.

“There are some things that I thought needed to be said,” Foey says. “I wrote my first story without any training.”

G reenville HEALTH

WISE

A woman is the best expert on her own body’s health and wellness.

For generations, the Indian way of life sought to seek balance – in body, mind, and spirit.

Women should be aware of their body, its changes, and talk to their doctor if they notice changes they do not understand. Women hold the miracle of the womb and other reproductive organs that allow us to give life. Keeping this system strong and healthy is a part of being a woman. Taking good care of your physical, mental and spiritual body is so important to your survival. Women must find a way to access and expect quality health care to reduce health disparities for themselves and future generations.

Today, women are working more than ever to help support their families or themselves. Not only are we mothers and wives, but now we may work full time, or possibly run our own business while raising our families. We are caregivers, friends and support systems. For all these reasons and more we need to take care of our bodies. The journey towards understanding our bodies takes a life time. Along your path you will discover pain and joy. The importance is to take the journey, and along the way ask questions. Do not be afraid to ask someone with the right knowledge that will help and empower you.

Schedule your well-woman visit with a doctor every year. The well-woman visit is an important way to help you stay healthy. Your well-woman checkup

is separate from any other visit for sickness or injury. These visits focus on preventive care that can improve your health, like screenings for early disease detection.

Depending on your age, these are some annual exams you should consider having done if you are not already doing so: Pap smear, breast exam, mammogram, osteoporosis screening, and careening for heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women in the United Sates, and stroke is the number three. Checking you blood pressure, cholesterol and testing the arteries of ones neck in your senior years are very important.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 12,000 women are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer each year in the United States. Cervical cancer is typically detected when doctors do a biopsy after a suspicious Pap smear or pelvic exam. Mortality rates for cervical cancer have declined sharply as Pap screenings have become more prevalent.

Not smoking, physical activity, healthy eating and preventing obesity are very important.

Education and counseling gives you knowledge, and as you know with knowledge comes power. The power to become a healthy and happy woman.

“There are some things that I thought needed to be said,” Foey says. “I wrote my first story without any training.”

While he received early encouragement by winning a short story contest with his first entry, he laughs that he felt the same struggles getting published that is common for new authors. Noting that Earnest Hemingway suffered 60 rejections before being published, he says, “My goal was to beat Hemingway and be rejected not more than 59 times.”

After fielding six or seven years’ worth of rejection letters, Dark Planet Publishing in San Diego picked him up. He’d been rejected 61 times, besting Hemingway opposite of his intention.

“My mind is just a whirlwind of stories,” he says. “Many, many stories.”

His third book will be “The Loves of Billy Wong,” an imagined Civil War story of Siamese twins who were Southern sympathizers, and a Chinese war hero. “The people were real, but the story is not real,” Foey says.

Foey immerses himself in books about the Chinese experience and he loves interviewing elderly Chinese people for their stories. “I try to

find out what their thoughts are, what their experiences were.” he says.

“You look in your family history, you look all around at the world at large. There are just interesting stories everywhere.” He tells them in both words and paintings, taking great joy in designing the cover art for his books.

Foey takes his thoughts with him on his nightly walks through Red Bluff and says he enjoys the peacefulness of the small town. “I was born here, my roots are here,” he says. “Although there’s been a lot of negativity, it’s hard to think of any other place as my home.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

S U S TA I N A B L E E F F O R T S AT S H A S TA C O L L E G E WANDERING CHICKENS, reflective rooftops, selfdimming lights, solar collectors and a large compost pile are part of the sustainability push at Shasta College in Redding.

“We have a committed campus community,” says Randy Reed, earth science instructor and Shasta College Sustainability Committee co-chair.

The committee came into play in 2009 and ties in with the college, joining the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment with goals of sustainability and climate neutrality.

“The fundamental mantra is: Take no more from the environment than the environment can replenish,” Reed says.

“As an educational institution, we want to be an example of how to be good stewards,” says Joe Wyse, Shasta College president and the other committee chair.

The effort to recycle, reuse and reduce has pluses both environmentally and fiscally, Wyse notes. “It’s a synergistic approach. It’s good for the environment, but it’s also good for the budget.”

The college generates about 36 percent of its energy from a field of solar collectors on the north edge of campus. The 1-megawatt solar array began producing power in spring of 2010 and has saved the college more than $300,000, according to Wyse.

To improve energy efficiency, the college upgraded its aged heating and air-conditioning units several years ago to a high-efficiency, variable-drive system that allows temperature flexibility and cuts electricity use. Another change was adding a light-colored, reflective coating to roofs so classrooms and other buildings don’t require so much energy to cool.

The college recently tapped into California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Proposition 39) funds to replace4

lights along pathways and in parking lots with efficient LED lighting. Instead of staying at full power through the night, they dim to 20 percent brightness but fully brighten when sensors detect the motion of a person or vehicle, Recycling is encouraged throughout campus. And the college has two chilled, filtered-water stations, provided

by Healthy Shasta, to encourage use of refillable water bottles over plastic throwaways.

On the college farm, sustainability is a strong theme.

“We grow about 85 percent of everything we feed on the farm,” notes agriculture instructor Trena KimlerRichards. That cuts not only costs, but also the farm’s carbon footprint because of the reduction in transporting hay and grains.

Leftover fryer grease from the cafeteria goes to the farm and is added to hay to give cattle and goats a protein boost.

“A coffee-can-size of fryer grease goes on a couple bales of hay. It’s run through a chopper so it all gets chopped together,” Kimler-Richards explains.

Peelings and other vegetable discards from the cafeteria also end up on the farm. They are composted along with manure from the barn animals. The finished compost enriches agricultural fields.

Chickens do their part via a traveling chicken coop. A horse trailer modified by welding students has solar panels on top and timer-operated doors that keep chickens inside and safe at night, then open in the morning so the free-ranging fowl can roam pastures where cattle have been.

42 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

“They scratch up manure piles, and that breaks up the parasite cycle and reduces the fly load,” Kimler-Richards says.

Sustainability on the farm also includes using goats instead of herbicides to keep some weeds in check and taking advantage of gray water from the college’s wastewater treatment facility to irrigate fields for nonfood crops.

The college added a sustainable agricultural degree six years ago. Kimler-Richards says the program is hands-on and encourages critical thinking. Students map out plans for crop rotation, conduct soil tests and get practice with a unique no-till drill that avoids the soil compaction and erosion associated with traditional disking and plowing.

Shasta College’s sustainability efforts show up not just in instruction and campus operations, but also in outreach to the community.

“We’re a center of education,” Reed says. “Just being a portal of information about such things is a responsibility.”

The Sustainability Committee plans an Earth Day celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 22 on the campus quad. It won’t be a guilt-tripping, “Why aren’t you a responsible earthling?” type of event, Reed promises. The goal is education, inspiration – and fun.

“It will be a throwback to the late ’60s in terms of being mellow and enjoying the day,” he says. • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding.

WANDERLUST T H E B E N E F I T S O F U S I N G A T R AV E L A G E N T TRAVEL ON THE BUCKET LIST? Intrepid world travelers and not-so-savvy first-time adventurers have lots to think about before launching from home. Some throw on a backpack filled with bare essentials and enjoy the adventure that unfolds. Most folks, though, like some kind of plan before heading out into the wild unknown.

Jason Olson, travel agent and owner of Cruise Holidays in Redding, recommends talking with an agent early in the planning stages. Ideas may change. Building a relationship with an agent helps focus on the objectives of the trip and avoid missteps. Olson likes to know his clients well enough so future trips become easier to plan. He describes the “many moving parts” of travel as risky and complicated, and an agent can guide his clients through those complexities. “People don’t know what they don’t know,” he says.

Paul and Donna Warner of Palo Cedro recently won a $5,000 gift certificate from Avanti Travel in Redding in a fundraising raffle. They had been mulling over a possible road trip in their RV to celebrate their 50th anniversary, but had almost given up because of lots of road blocks. The unexpected windfall allowed them to rethink their plans. With the help of a travel agent, they booked an 11-day motor coach trip through the Canadian Rockies that they’re confident will meet their needs and fulfill their dreams.4

wanderlust: (n.)

a strong desire or urge to wander or travel and explore the world

A travel agent can be an invaluable resource for any traveler, especially those who are not confident about how to plan or who don’t have the time, determination or knowledge to make their own arrangements. Janette Webber and her sister, Sonja Bean, co-owners of Avanti Travel, think of themselves as “dream makers.” “We make wishes come true,” says Webber. One client wanted to sing to his wife on their anniversary in Jamaica at a Sandals resort. Webber made all the arrangements for the special production. The surprised wife and her husband enjoyed a romantic experience they will treasure for a lifetime.

According to Webber, there are several reasons to make travel arrangements with a reputable agent: • Though the well-seasoned traveler may have learned where and how to save money, travel agents monitor prices and adjust most reservations according to the best deals at any given moment.

• Agents can personalize bookings, acting as a concierge by recommending activities and points of interest and making all the arrangements in advance. They can advise about the best and worst times to travel to specific locations, and provide reviews of restaurants, lodging and highlights for most destinations.

• They are available before, during and after the vacation to advocate and troubleshoot for their clients.

Randall and Barbara Hempling of Redding love to travel.

They have different comfort levels, though, in planning their excursions abroad. Barbara appreciates more structure,

while Randall is quite happy to see where the wind takes him. After many trips alone and together, they have learned the value of working with travel agents. After many trips alone and together they have learned the value of working with travel agents.

Hempling decided to check one more item off his bucket list with a trip to Antarctica in 2013 (Barbara wasn’t interested). He worked out the details with his travel agent.

It took a year to plan with several adjustments in the itinerary. Finally, he made his way to the southern tip of South America where he joined a group of 90 guests aboard a Russian trawler. They enjoyed daily lectures and outings to the frozen continent in Zodiac boats. Hempling describes the stark beauty of the glacial landscape “like a walk on the moon.”

Hempling advises other travelers to be flexible. Expect the unexpected and let that be part of the adventure. He says to enjoy the culture of each location along the way and don’t compare them to home. Things will be different.

Celebrate the differences and appreciate other ways to do things. Hempling says he never complains. He wants to enjoy every part of his journey.

Hempling’s best advice: “Don’t put it off. Don’t let your memories be regrets about travel opportunities missed.” •

SHASTA PUBLIC LIBRARIES WELCOMES DIRECTOR ERIN FRANCOEUR “Keeping your mind fresh and stimulated is necessary for everyone, and being able to do that without a charge is very nice.”

Erin Francoeur The new director of Shasta Public Libraries believes libraries are welcoming places where people of all ages learn and grow.

“No matter who you are, there is something the library can do for you,” Erin Francoeur says.

Francoeur, 35, brings fresh perspective and ideas to the role, says Shasta Library Foundation Executive Director Peggy O’Lea. “We’re really happy to have Erin onboard,” O’Lea says. “One of the things I appreciate about Erin is that she is really focused on service to children.”

Francoeur and husband, Todd, a teacher, have two sons, ages 5 years and 4 months, and a 3-year-old daughter. A young family and a demanding job are a balancing act, but Francoeur doesn’t mind the juggling.

“I don’t do well not being busy,” she says.

Francoeur came to the Redding job in July from Garden City,

Kansas, where she was the Finney County Public Library director.

Prior to that, she was coordinator of Smart Start Project, a school program providing resources for child-care providers.

“Early childhood education is so important to me,” she says.

At the Kansas library, she oversaw the addition of a 10,000-squarefoot outdoor classroom for children with water features, a stage and tree house. “It was designed around learning by play,” Francoeur says.

Francoeur wants to build on successful programs and increase awareness of library services, which include computers, online databases, computer-skill classes, online help with resumes and e-reader instruction. Teens can use Redding Library’s Creation Station, with a green screen, animation software and 3-D printer.

An online homework-help service lets students live-chat with credentialed teachers or submit essays for feedback. The library shows movies and has Wii and Xbox game sessions.

What does the library offer?

The list of services is long.

Here’s a sampling:

• computers • WiFi • databases of newspapers, encyclopedias, government

documents and science abstracts • study rooms and community

meeting rooms • downloadable music and e-books • adult literacy program • classes on Excel, word processing and other computer skills • resources for book clubs • used-book store • instruction on using a Nook or other e-reader • book suggestions • online tutoring assistance with resumes, cover letters and GED preparation • veterans resource center • author talks • family history help • California Indian Library and Boggs Local History collections

“We’re not just checking out books,” Francoeur says.

The library is working with school districts to get library cards to all Shasta County students.

“We follow up with trainings to the school, offering to go into the classroom and show the students how to access some of the materials,” Francoeur says.

Shasta Union High School District Superintendent Jim Cloney says the card effort connects students to the library’s databases and other online research tools and “will really broaden the information available.”

The library’s reader advisory services help families find books, such as suggestions for a struggling reader or age-appropriate books for a child reading above grade level. Library staff can be tapped for book tips for adults too.

“We give read ‘alikes’ – if you like this author, you might be

interested in these books,” Francoeur says.

She describes the library system as “fantastically successful. There are so many programs, so many services being offered.”

And it’s all free.

“Keeping your mind fresh and stimulated is necessary for everyone, and being able to do that without a charge is very nice,” Francoeur says.

Francoeur grew up in a suburb of Chicago. She has a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Indiana University, master’s degree in religious studies from Arizona State University and a master’s degree in library science from Emporia State University.

“I love libraries,” Francoeur says. “I love the service aspect.”

FINE ART AND FRAMES naturally go together. Framing, says Anna Roedocker-Mann, is another art form. Anna and husband Dann Mann “are passionate about the artistry” of printing and framing, about enhancing fine art and photographs entrusted to them. Their recently expanded business, Artisans Printing and Framing (formerly HDR Imaging), focuses on carefully reproducing original art and photography into prints, custom framing and a variety of other restoration and preservation services. This year, they added in-house art and photography classes.

Mann and business partner Dean Gustafson opened their print business in 2009 with a new printer, an Epson 9900, the first high-dynamic range printer in the North State to produce exceptional quality giclee prints. They shared space with Picture This Frame Shop, where Mann applied his eye for detail and enhancement when printing photos and added new skills in framing thanks to encouragement and mentoring from Gustafson. Anna joined them in the business in 2011 and, under Dann’s tutelage, has learned to effectively use the printer's capabilities. They moved the business from Victor Avenue in Redding to the north end of Hilltop Drive in 2012.4 continued on page 52

BOTH ANNA AND DANN ARE AMAZING WITH THE COMPUTER, WHICH MAKES PRINT QUALITY AMAZING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WANT HUGE PRINTS.

~FRANK KRATOFIL

Printing and printers are not all equal. High-dynamic range printers use pigmented inks and more print heads than standard printers. Anna has become the resident reproduction expert, spending anywhere from 30 minutes to five hours scrutinizing paintings during the process from high-resolution scanner to Photoshop to printer, assuring that color and detail accurately capture the artist’s original. She uses her artist’s eye to carefully preserve the texture, detail and layers of color. She essentially puts the work under a microscope to “get to know as much about the art work as the artist does.”

She takes as much care when restoring old, torn or damaged photographs.

The museum-quality paper they use is as important as printer colors. Paper, pigments and other products used are all archival quality. They are concerned about the survival of their products “so memories will last for many, many generations.” Everything they sell is custom made. Services include custom framing; conservation and shadow boxes; photo printing; premium, museum, archival and cotton canvases; photo restoration; digitally restored or damaged sentimental pieces; fine art reproductions; high-resolution scanning and detailed color matching. “We like wowing people,’” says Mann.

Local chiropractor and photographer, Frank Kratofil, is a regular customer. “I am a stickler for having my photos look natural. It’s the reason I get up early and stay late for the right lighting. Both Anna and Dann are amazing with the computer, which makes print quality amazing, especially when I want huge prints. Dann is great with helping me pick out the right frame and the matting to go with the picture I print. I have referred friends who are all fans of their quality workmanship.”

Artisans Printing and Framing doubles as an art gallery and studio where classes are now offered by local artists and photographers well-known in the North State. Mark Behrens, Garry Bagula, Denise Granger-Kerb, Debbie Andrews, Patricia Bollinger, Sandi Howell and Susan Emerson will teach and exhibit at Artisans Printing and Framing in 2015.

Mann and Anna met when they walked down the aisle together at the wedding of mutual friends in Reno. Anna grew up in the Reno area immersed in an active art community. Mann began loving photography early in his life, thanks to his father and a group of avid photographers in the small community of Sonora, California. Now with three small children, they both find some time to devote to their artistic passions. Mann works with The Lighting Asylum on photographic art and learning. Their skills and talents mingle as they continue to build a business that celebrates the artistic process, from conception to exhibition. •

YOUR MAJESTY I N C O R P O R AT I N G PA N T O N E ’ S 2 0 1 5 CO LO R O F T H E Y E A R MARSALA, A SWEET RED WINE native to the Western region of Sicily, is the base color concept andto the Western region of Sicily, is the base color concept and namesake for Pantone’s 2015 color of the year, Marsala’s Majesty. But it’s the sweet, perfectly unexpected undertones of chocolate, watermelon and even a hint of tangerine that make the color a true feast for the eyes. Lady Marsala is bold, yet unassuming; charming, yet shy; passive, yet unrelenting.

Add some of her rich, robust flavor to your wardrobe, home, garden or wedding and you’ll swear up and down you’ve been transported to the lap of luxury in Sicilian wine country.

A rich jewel-tone like marsala pairs surprisingly well with even the most note-worthy pastels and brights.

Combine Lady Marsala with blush or pale pink for unprecedented romance in the spring. Marsala is refreshing in summer next to vibrant turquoises and limes. For fall, try marsala next to warm shades of marigold and persimmon. And if you think monochromatic reds don’t work, you haven’t seen marsala sitting next to her good friend Candy Apple. We weren’t so sure at first, either. But they play extraordinarily well together, as good girlfriends do. No competition - just pure fabulousness and mutual respect.4 continued on page 56

WARDROBE: Have you ever seen people’s response to a woman in a red dress? There is a moment when time itself seems to stop to admire her. Marsala has the same allure, but with a bit more mystery. Nothing says confidence like a moto jacket in marsala. A structured wool coat in the lovely shade will have you looking hot for your captive audience. A blouse in marsala is the perfect complement under a blazer or cardigan in just about any shade. Boots, mile-high stilettos or a bold bag in marsala? Yes, please. We’ll take all three.

You don’t have to have lots of pieces in marsala to update your look. An otherwise neutral outfit with one marsala element will do the trick. If your skin tone tends to wash out while wearing wineinfused shades, take a risk with contrasting bold red lips and let the belief that “this color couldn’t work for me” melt away like a sugar cube in hot tea.

HOME: A bold buffet, chic sofa or coffee table in marsala will add spice and intensity to a neutral room. Old books, frames and unique trinkets bring personality to mantles, side tables or bookshelves. A dramatic vase or a pair of candlesticks on the dining table will add refreshing height variation to a room.

For a more drastic change, consider an accent wall in marsala. Word to the wise: purchase samples in a few similar shades so that you can get an honest feel for the color in reference to other pieces in your home, your lighting and your flooring.

What looks fabulous in the paint section may not look so swift in your abode. Use primer or apply a double or triple coat of paint if necessary to get the coverage you are looking for.

Prepping your adjoining walls, moldings and baseboards with painter’s tape may seem tedious, but it’s a necessary step in making sure the finish is as flawless as the color itself.

56 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

WEDDING: The color of the year is virtually guaranteed to be all the rage on the wedding scene, but we’re not sure a color has ever been so worthy of its popularity as marsala. Picture your bridesmaids adorned in flowing gowns of marsala. Your tables are set to perfection with linen napkins and the chair backs sashed with rich, flowing organza of the same shade. The red velvet cupcakes on your desert table are edible works of art. You walk proudly down the aisle holding a flawlessly arranged bouquet of marsala, apricot and blush. Your handsome groom is wearing a beautiful, familiar shade in his boutonniere. It’s the perfect shade of marsala. After all, it’s the “it” color this year. Don’t believe us?

Just enter “marsala wedding” into Pinterest’s search engine and let the adventures begin. You’re welcome.

GARDEN: Marsala is no stranger to nature. You’ll often see her smiling at you from the petals of roses, ranunculi, orchids, mums, dahlias and calla lilies. From flowering plum trees and plump heirloom tomatoes to the meandering wood of a manzanita branch, she is there, subtly but surely making her presence known. For any season and in just about any height or level of heartiness, you are sure to find something enchanting in sweet marsala.

If you’d like to make the shade a more permanent fixture in your garden — one you don’t have to replant every season — consider incorporating brickwork, decorative terra cotta pots, upcycled patio furniture, painted wooden birdfeeders or outdoor cushions and throw pillows in marsala into your garden paradise. • Kimberly N.

MUSICIAN RUTHIE FOSTER PERFORMS AT L A X S O N AU D I TO R I U M

WITH A MIGHTY VOCAL DELIVERY and versatile songwriting ability, Ruthie Foster excels at richly textured music painted in blues.

She’s received five trophies from the Blues Music Awards, including the coveted Koko Taylor Award for Female Artist of the Year, along with two Grammy nominations.

“It’s great to be recognized,” says Foster. “But I’m a worker. I come from farmers, where you work from sunup to sundown. That’s the way I work in music, too.”

Born in the small farm town of Gause, Texas, she grew up playing the piano and doing recitals at local churches.

"I was a terribly shy kid with a stutter when I started singing. I needed that kind of place to learn," Foster says. “Gospel was a huge part of what my family did. On the radio in Texas, we got everything from Conjunto to blues. That was just cool, learning all of that with my ear, so early. So by the time I got to Texas bars famous for their ‘snake pit’ environment, I knew how to handle myself.”

Foster joined the music program at McLennan Community College in Waco, where she formalized her musical upbringing in the church and her self-taught guitar technique while incorporating more diverse styles into her repertoire.

After graduation she enlisted in the Navy, spending time with the U.S. Navy Band, singing pop and funk cover tunes. Out of the Navy, she was signed to a songwriting deal by Atlantic Records and moved to New York in the 1990s, playing folk music in local venues.

She returned to Texas to help care for her ailing mother, and stayed there to become a part of the music scene.

She recorded her first album, “Full Circle,” in 1997 as a folksinger, and she slowly evolved back into an emphasis on blues and soul songs.4

“People may not always remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.”

—Maya Angelou

The first product of that transformation was 2007’s “The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster,” a soul-driven album, that lives up to its title. That set the stage for the success of “The Truth According to Ruthie Foster” and “Let It Burn.”

“I started out playing songs by Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin on the guitar in a folk club,” recalls Foster, “because I figured no one else was doing it. Everybody else was doing traditional folk songs. I wanted to do something really different.”

Texas’ musical diversity helped shape her. “Growing up, I heard blues radio and country radio and gospel and my family and everything in between,” she says. “A lot of it came together for me as an early songwriter and learning to play piano and guitar. Blues was guitar-based, and gospel was piano-based. That’s how I incorporate the whole Texas sound, instrumentally. I’ll go and pick up a different instrument, and it brings something different to what I do.”

Her new album, “Promise of a Brand New Day,” includes seven songs written or co-written by Foster, most of them songs with messages. “That’s important to what I do,” she says. “Maybe that’s from growing up with people like Mavis Staples and a lot of strong women who have come before me, who are great singers but also have a message. They give you something; they say something.”

The blues lets her roam, Foster says, both musically and lyrically. And she has moved from performing all originals to adding a healthy dose of covers to her performances

and recordings.

“I don’t look at my music as necessarily the blues. It’s all about spirit, and maybe that’s what blues is. A lot of people do look at blues as down and out: ‘My heart is on the floor and I’m gonna sing about it for a while.’ And it can be that. I went through some stuff with my relationship last summer that was really, really hard. I remember coming to that point, and blues was the one thing I could listen to. I felt like, ‘I need to know that I’m not alone in feeling like this.’ Blues did that for me.”

Foster says that making people feel good is the ultimate purpose and driving force of her music career.

“The goodness, however, must come from the soul. It must live up to internal judgment and not merely satisfy the external evaluation of materialism and hedonism. I truly believe that’s why I’m here, to share my musical gift that I’ve been given, and to remind people to be who they are, be good to each other, and feel good.” • Paul Thorn and Joe Ely team up with Ruthie Foster as The Southern Troubadours Tuesday, March 17 Laxson Auditorium, Chico State University www.csuchico.edu/upe/performance/artists/SouthernTroubadours.html Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University.

But look beyond the sweet faces and you’ll find animals that are not only beguiling, but fun to raise, breed and shear for their luxurious fiber.

Karen Kelly, owner of Arapaho Rose Alpacas in Redding, has been raising the gentle and inquisitive animals since 2001 and considers herself part of a friendly community of alpaca lovers. “Most everyone knows everyone and we all try to support each other. It’s not competitive. For the most part, it’s a young industry and since alpacas are new to the US, we try to learn from each other,” she says.4

C R A I G M A R L E A U ’ S K I C K S TA R T G A R A G E WHEN SCOTT OILAR BOUGHT HIS HONDA 750, with its patchwork panels, rusted wheels, and “a hideous brown seat that could only be described as a misshapen loaf of bread,” he admits it was in depressing condition.

Craig Marleau of Kick Start Garage, who Oilar met at a soccer park where their kids were playing, led him to the used bike. Oilar asked the motorcycle aficionado for advice on purchasing something bigger and faster for the road that he could customize.4 continued on page 68 MARCH 2015 ENJOY | 67

“I take forgotten, unwanted or discarded motorcycles left for dead,” he says, “and transform them into Café Racers, Bobbers or Scramblers.”

“Craig was able to take the rough concept of what I wanted and add his own creative flavor,” says Oilar. “His suggestions only seemed to develop a more accurate idea of what I wanted in a bike.” The end result: a CB750 that is combination Café Racer and Bobber.

Marleau specializes in modresto, or vintage motorcycle restoration and customization. “I take forgotten, unwanted or discarded motorcycles left for dead,” he says, “and transform them into Café Racers, Bobbers or Scramblers.”

For the uninitiated, Marleau is happy to explain. Café Racers are European-style bikes that derive their name from the practice of racing from café to café. Bobbers are hard-tail bikes (without shock absorbers) that typically have a solo seat.

“The Bobber is not a gentleman’s bike,” adds Marleau, “but more of a bar-hopper bike. Scramblers are used more for dirt rides. We are kind of reliving an earlier era, prior to the availability of dirt bikes.”

A small business with a global reach, Kick Start Garage’s barn-style shop is located on Marleau’s property. “When people come out, it’s by appointment only,” he says. “They are not waiting in line for a number on the handlebar. I want to know them and their bike.”

The Garage has space to job four bikes at a time but is ready for expansion. Besides custom work, Marleau repairs European bikes and wants to keep his craft alive and growing by hiring an apprentice to help him expand the business.

“People do not know what points are (parts of a mechanically engineered ignition system) or how to adjust them,” he says. “Old world engine repair is disappearing; today it has become about electronics and parts replacement. Yet, this lost era of engineering defines the way the bike looks, works, runs—everything.”

To further his riding passion, Marleau formed the Redding Vintage Moto Club. Its monthly First Ride is4 continued on page 70

an invitation to know the club by experiencing the North State on a vintage motorcycle and the culture here that Marleau believes for many is undiscovered.

“We rode to the Phillips Brothers Steam Mill, between Whitmore and Oak Run,” says Marleau of the only operating mill of its kind in the country. “They cut custom lumber for homes. They have a box factory there and make stuff for all the movie studios. It is absolutely amazing, one of the coolest rides we have ever done.”

Another time the group rode to Manton for a chili cook-off. The town boasts a corner store that has been there since the 1800s. “I’m trying to connect the historical culture here with the rides and introduce folks to all the history in our area,” adds Marleau.

Jim Rocca has been on every club ride and is another custom client.

“Our bikes have a little more personality and a lot of them have names,” Rocca says. “Mine is called Saddlefax.” A Lord of the Rings fan, his clever wordplay was inspired by Shadowfax, Lord of the horses.

“Whatever I dream up, Craig will figure out a way to do it and make it look great,” he says. “He is not your typical motorcycle mechanic who follows the book. I know he likes my bike as much as I do because he refers to it by name, too.”

Marleau chose the name Kick Start Garage because the motorcycles he works on have kickstart levers and the word “art” is contained within the word “start.”

“I think motorcycles are living, breathing art,” says Marleau. “I try and bring out the beauty in every bike.” • (530) 330-5425 • www.kickstart-garage.com

Not pictured: Cliff Curry, Michael Dacquisto, Dr. Vidya Bobba, Chris Corrigan, Dr. Terry Rust, Mark Lascelles, Missy McArthur, and Scott Putnam.

IT CAN BE SAID that behind every business is a good idea, but where would those ideas be without funding and direction? “Ideas are a dime a dozen,” says Eric Hiatt, executive director of Shasta Angel Group for Entrepreneurs (SAGE). “It’s execution that counts.”

That’s why Shasta County business owners and entrepreneurs came together in 2011 to form SAGE: to create the county’s catalyst for turning good ideas into better businesses. Hiatt describes the 14 members of SAGE as “a group of individuals who saw a need in Redding for new startup companies, and a need for capital.”

Hiatt joined SAGE as an investor in 2013 and soon became its executive director, and he knows from personal experience the importance of local funding. As a founding partner of Security 1 Lending, now the largest reverse mortgage bank in the country, Hiatt had to do his share of seeking fundraisers. “We have thousands of employees across the country,” says Hiatt.

Part of the company is based in Redding, but Hiatt couldn’t find local support for his startup.

“There was no one locally who would spend the time to talk and invest in me,” he says. That wasn’t a problem for Hiatt, who was able to find money outside of Shasta County since his startup wasn’t locally restricted. But what about those businesses local to their communities, or those geographically restricted by their services? Where would they go to find investors if not in their own community?

Hiatt wasn’t the only investor who saw the “disconnect” in Shasta County between investors and startups, so SAGE was formed to bridge that gap. “SAGE itself,” says Hiatt, “is a conduit – channeling entrepreneurs to mentors and investors.” Its mission is “to create growth, cultivate partnerships, and promote prosperity for the betterment of the region.”

The two components of that mission are financial investment and mentorship. “We not only4

“Absolutely, I want to see the community grow,” he says, and “the members of SAGE want to see a return on their investment.”

invest financially,” explains Hiatt, “but we also invest our time and energy.” And as Hiatt points out, as hard as it is to start a business, it’s even harder for that business to succeed.

“There’s nothing easy about starting a business, and the majority of small businesses fail.

Support is everything.”

While SAGE’s financial support is essential to the local startups, its mentorship likely has a greater, longer-standing impact. Hiatt himself serves as the treasurer of the board for FireWhat Inc., a wildfire mapping and tracking company that received support through SAGE. “SAGE coming onboard gave us the opportunity to really grow,” says Sam Lenier, FireWhat’s chief executive officer and cofounder. Lenier also can attest to the need for local investment – for three years, FireWhat was nothing more than an idea before local investors got involved. “Really, no one from the Bay Area understood the wildfire risk and how important it was and what our business was doing, until we hit investors here in the North State who understood,” he says.

FireWhat was already up and running before SAGE invested financially, but it was the group’s mentorship that made a significant difference.

According to Lenier, the mentorship came by way of counsel, helping to make connections through introductions to legal staff and other business contacts, as well as “the reassurance that somebody would be there backing us.”

Hiatt doesn’t pretend that SAGE isn’t a group of investors looking for a financial return.

“Absolutely, I want to see the community grow,” he says, and “the members of SAGE want to see a return on their investment.” Of course, that’s the name of the game. But these local investors aren’t interested only in the bottom line or dollar – they are members of the very community that they are trying to improve. A failed business doesn’t just hurt these investors’ wallets; it also hurts their community.

By late 2013, SAGE made its first investment, and it would like to support at least two startups per year. The group is currently made up of 14 investors, but Hiatt says they would like to see that number increase to 20 to 25 members, all actively investing in their community.

Personally, Hiatt loves the position in which he finds himself. “We all have our own things, but we want people to know we’re here for them.” And as somebody who has started his own business and watched it grow and succeed, being a part of others’ success has come naturally to him. “Quite frankly, it’s the perfect fit for me.” And if anybody with an idea and a plan thinks they might be a perfect fit with SAGE, they need only apply. • www.shastaangels.com

GOOD FINDS | BY KIMBERLY BONÉY | PHOTOS: BETSY ERICKSON

URSULA GUDERIAN’S BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART SOME WORKS OF ART HAVE A WAY of transporting us to a particular place in time and space, to a specific location far away, either real or imagined. And some works of art manage to be more of a culmination of many eras and locations simultaneously – a glorious amalgamation of new and old, something other worldly and yet close to home, a familiar “something” that magically beckons the viewer out of the proverbial comfort zone. The works of Ursula Guderian, jewelry artist, are the latter.

Born in Mount Shasta, raised in the North State and currently residing in Igo, Guderian was trained at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. As a little girl, she fell in love with mythology, and she incorporates it, along with ancient mysticism, antiquities and historical references into her work. While her pieces are reminiscent of something as old as time itself, they are refreshingly modern in their approach. Guderian fires and hand-hammers brass, bronze and copper into strikingly bold, unique, fearless and undeniably one-of-akind pieces of wearable sculpture.

At the helm of Guderian’s creations is her belief that jewelry is wearable art, and that it is an extension of one’s soul. “Art has always been a healing entity to me, and I put forth that energy into my work,” she says.

Fascinated by science and history, Guderian has found herself drawn to a quote from Carl Sagan: “Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.”

Guderian seconds that notion: “To me, the wisdom of our ancestors is divine inspiration in my creative process.”4 continued on page 78

MARCH 2015 ENJOY | 77

Guderian, who insists that her art and her day job are “as different as night and day,” says she is not at all artistically inspired by paperwork. In fact, Guderian only creates on the weekends, and greatly values the limited time she is able to work on her art. Her creative process is typically something that comes to her in the form of a dream. “I will wake up in the middle of the night and an idea will come to me. I also find inspiration from images and landscapes.”

Her creativity is nurtured by an unexpected source.

“I have four wolf dogs. They are loves. They keep me company when I am in my studio creating. I have placed my anvil on the floor so that I have better control and leverage when hammering out my copper and brass. They will come in one by one and check me out. They lay next to me. They are like my creative entourage.”

With a perfect cocktail of fabulous design and positive energy, it’s no wonder that people are drawn to her pieces.

Admirers gaze at her work with reverence, wonder in their eyes and smiles that could light up a room.

“I am drawn to brass. I find a certain kind of comfort in the way it surrenders to fire. When I am firing brass, there is a limited time frame to manipulate it. It is a challenge to work with. If you miss your moment in the creative process, then the brass hardens and becomes more difficult to work with,” Guderian says.

Her pieces often include exotic semi-precious stones, such as jade and labradorite, both of which she is particularly inspired to use in this season’s creations, in

78 | ENJOY MARCH 2015

addition to carnelian and raw crystal, among many others, with the occasional old world Tibetan coin thrown in for good measure. When these organic elements are combined with the warmth of pounded metal, the results are pure magic.

Guderian’s designs can be found at Enjoy the Store in Redding and Red Bluff, Carousel, The Velvet Loft.

Boheme Salon and Spa and on Facebook.

Guderian’s Facebook page isn’t flooded solely with photos of her own designs. Instead, you’ll find images of her jewelry intermingled with fashion-forward images of women in couture gowns blowing in the wind, natural rock and cloud formations, vintage images of empowered women flying planes and riding motorcycles, texturally diverse photos that capture the sharp contrast of light and darkness, and everything in between. Sometimes, the photos feature mist-covered scenes of wildlife in their element, or snapshots of the members of her creative entourage as they keep her company. Often these images are backed by quotes of encouragement, gently guiding the reader to take the day by the horns or to go into a peaceful, restful slumber. But always – in all ways – they are inspiring. • Kimberly N. Bonéy, proud wife and mother, moved to Redding in 2008. Kimberly has a bachelor of arts in English with an emphasis in creative writing from Louisiana State University. As the former owner of The Kimberly Nicole Boutique in downtown Redding, Kimberly considers herself a connoisseur of all things fashionable.

March Recipe It’s your lucky day! Well, that is, if you have been looking for a new pasta dish, perfect for a weeknight or Sunday supper. If you have not tried fennel, this is a great way to try it. This recipe is easy and nicely represents the subtle flavor of fennel. It is a great base, easily adapted to your own taste. It’s really good with chicken and steamed asparagus, or make it vegetarian and add zucchini along with the peas. This pasta reheats nicely, but you may not have any leftovers to deal with. Enjoy!

P E N N E W I T H I TA L I A N S A U S A G E , O N I O N S , PEAS AND FENNEL Serves 6-8

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Penne pasta 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage 1 large fennel bulb, about 1 pound total ¹⁄ ³ cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, cut in half-moon slices ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. red pepper flakes ½ tsp. fennel seeds 6 oz. tomato paste 2 cups frozen peas ½ cup finely chopped fennel fronds

1 cup freshly grated Pecorino or Parmigiano – Regiano cheese (additional for serving)

TOTAL TIME: 30-35 minutes PREP: 10 minutes COOK: 20-25 minutes

STEP ONE Heat a large pot of salted water, about 6 cups, to boiling for the pasta. Cook the pasta just until the penne is not quite al dente. Drain and reserve 3 cups pasta water.

Toss penne with a little olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking together.

STEP TWO While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium- high heat. If using links, remove the sausage from its casing. Break up the meat into pieces as you add to the skillet. As the sausage cooks, stir and continue to break it up, cooking until it begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes.

STEP THREE While the sausage cooks, add the red pepper flakes and fennel seeds to a dry skillet and toast on high, about 1-2 minutes, stirring and being careful not to burn.

Once toasted, stir into the sausage.

STEP FOUR For the fennel, cut off the stalks, just at the top of the bulb, and reserve the fronds. Remove any tough outer parts from the bulbs. Slice the bulb in half lengthwise, removing core and then slice each half in ¼ inch thick slices. Cut slices in half for about 1½ cups matchsticks of fennel.

STEP FIVE Push the sausage to the one side of the pan, and drop the onion slices into the clear part of the pan; sauté, stirring, until they sizzle and wilt, another 3-5 minutes, then stir them in with the sausage. Push this to one side of the pan and drop in the fennel and heat to just wilting, about 2 more minutes. Stir into the sausage and onions.

STEP SIX Next, clear a spot in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste and cook for a good minute of more, until it is sizzles and starts to caramelize. Then stir it into the sausage mixture.

STEP SEVEN Add about 2 cups of the reserved pasta water into the skillet, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add the frozen peas and let cook until the sauce thickens, but not too thick, and the fennel is soft.

STEP EIGHT Add the cooked penne into the simmering sauce. Toss everything together, sprinkle in the chopped fennel fronds, and continue to cook until the penne is perfectly al dente. (Add more water if more sauce is desired.)

STEP NINE Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle the grated cheese over the penne mixture and toss. Serve the hot pasta right out of the pan or on the table in a large pasta bowl with additional grated cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

Vacation Time!

by Patrick John

​ lose to home, across the United States, halfway around the world… I’m an equal C opportunity traveler. It’s an escape. It recharges your batteries. It’s a way to reconnect with your spouse or partner, and it’s a great way to have fun with family. ​Do you remember your first plane ride? My first time on a plane was a holiday trip to Wisconsin with our family of six. I was in sixth grade and it was exciting. We literally ran through one airport to catch a flight, met more family members than we knew existed, experienced snow on Christmas Eve, saw Lake Michigan (we had only seen the Pacific Ocean), and the airline lost our luggage on the return flight. Thankfully, the bags arrived a day later, because they contained all our presents! It was a whirlwind, and to a kid, a true adventure. ​ Those who listen to our radio show know that over the last 20 years, I’ve been across the U.S., to the Bahamas, Italy and Great Britain, added a pair of stops each in Canada and Mexico, and tacked on numerous trips to Hawaii and Disneyland. FYI - I used to emcee large corporate conferences, so many of these trips were on someone else’s dime. I’m often asked, “How much vacation time do you get? It seems like you’re always going somewhere!” The truth is that Jane and I don’t really travel that much, but when we do, we make it count. ​The other questions typically asked often pertain to travel tips, expenses, and planning, so here’s what has worked for us: Plan ahead. That gives you time to research the location and pay over time. We try to save up and have our airfare and accommodations (the big stuff) totally paid off before we leave. Then you only have to worry about expenses incurred during the trip.

Save money by renting rooms/condos with a kitchen. You will save a TON of money (especially for families) by not eating out every meal. Upon arrival, make your first stop a local farmer’s market, supermarket or Costco.

Nervous about new ideas or destinations? Ask amongst friends, but sometimes you just have to GO FOR IT! You’ll never know if you like to cruise until you try it out, and we flipped a coin to determine which island to visit in Hawaii. We ended up on Kauai for the first time and had a blast.

Foreign country? Big trip? Clueless? Use an experienced travel agent. Travelers think they can book anything on the internet and it will be fine. Travel agencies are super busy for a reason… they know what they’re doing. Most services are free and they match and beat internet prices. You also have someone to call if any problems arise. The latest statistics (2011) report travel agents booked almost two-thirds of all airline tickets, cruises and tours. You will thank yourself later!

Alert your bank/credit card/cell phone companies before you travel – Banks often perceive cards used overseas as stolen and automatically issue a hold, so make sure you have more than one credit card in case there’s a problem. Not all cell phones are compatible around the world, so you may need to adjust your plan/coverage, or even rent a travel phone.

Be polite and engaging – The loud, obnoxious American with the fanny pack is not the image to convey. Good manners, attempting to speak the native language, and asking questions are good places to start. The locals are your single best resource when it comes to finding the best food, unique places to shop, sights to see, and maybe a hidden gem of an experience. Make friends all over the world and you’ll always have somewhere to go!

Did you hear about the banker that made a

“dream cabin” come true?

Local farmer David Garcia found a perfect vacation cabin but his dream of future relaxation almost died on the vine. While he loved the cabin’s historic features, they were too unique for typical lenders. That’s when David turned to Tri Counties Banker Rhonda Noall who plowed ahead with a TCB portfolio loan that was as unique as the cabin itself. To get personalized service like this, just switch to Tri Counties Bank.
