STRAT GI

A TrAdiTion of SucceSS Shasta College was a lifesaver for me. I was returning to college as a high school graduate, a college dropout and a newly divorced woman with three kids. I was pursuing a major in psychology, because I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a social worker. But, it was while taking a Shasta College prerequisite, creative writing, that my life changed immediately. My instructor pulled me aside and asked about my major. When I told her, she suggested a different path. That conversation fueled my inspiration and courage to change majors - that day - to journalism (with a minor in psychology). The insight of that one instructor altered the direction of my future for the better. Today I own and operate the highly successful online news site, www.anewscafe.com.

Starting off at Shasta College was definitely a more affordable way to attend school. The support I received from E.O.P.S., Financial Aid and TRiO really helped me. Jeanette was my amazing counselor. Working full time while taking classes was definitely challenging. Jeanette assured me that even though it was taking me a little longer I should not give up. I honestly can not thank her enough for her support and guidance. The time I spent at Shasta College allowed me to figure out what I wanted to do and today I own and operate Boba Tea and Coffee with my sister on Hartnell and Churn Creek.

May seems to be the North State’s sweet spot – sunny days give way to cool nights, and Mother Nature hasn’t ratcheted up the heat quite yet. What better time for an outdoor adventure? It’s a lovely time to meander up Interstate 5 to Siskiyou County, and our spotlight is on downtown Dunsmuir this month. The railroad was central to this tiny town’s history (John F. Kennedy even spoke from the back of a train here during his campaign), and it remains a significant presence. Brick buildings, quaint businesses and world-class fishing are among Dunsmuir’s charming attributes. If you plan your visit for May 23, you’ll find yourself immersed in Dogwood Daze. The town’s annual celebration of its dogwood trees features homemade pies, soapbox derby races, live music and more. While you’re up north, a little detour to McCloud is always worth the trip. Stop by McCloud Mercantile, listed on the National Registry and carefully remodeled to honor the past. Also in this issue, we’ll give you tips for a creative date with your significant other. And with Mother’s Day right around the corner, you can adapt one of these ideas to treat the special woman in your life with the gift she will cherish most – quality time with the ones she loves. If she enjoys wine, perhaps a day trip to Trinity County is in order, where you’ll find some unique vintners who have produced award-winning wine in the 96,000-acre Trinity Lakes Viticulture Area. Don’t forget to stop by Enjoy the Store in Redding or Red Bluff, where we’ll help you find the perfect, locally made gift to honor Mom. Enjoy spectacular spring!

“We laugh together, pray together, eat together.. it’s a great support system and a family.”

ara Haley, Marge Pictured from left to right: Barb

LAUGHTER IS THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN by the six retired women gathered at Redding’s Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness, their home away from home. Each has lived in the North State for more than 30 years, and some of the friendships stretch back to high school. Beyond the inside jokes and mile-a-minute conversation, though, each carries a “backpack full of bricks” – illnesses, family crises, life’s burdens that weigh you down. And when someone’s backpack gets too heavy, the others lighten the load. “I don’t get to travel very much, since I’m the primary caregiver for my husband who has multiple sclerosis,” says Kathy Sublett of Redding. During a post-tennis lunch gathering

one day in 2011, she declared that she was going to the Masters tennis tournament in Indian Wells. “I asked, ‘Anybody in?’ Did it take you guys 30 seconds to say yes?” She’s answered with a chorus of laughter. Two thousand miles away in Kingwood, Texas, Pat Timpanaro knew a thing or two about bricks, as well. She had served as a fulltime nanny to four grandchildren for seven years while her son awaited a kidney transplant and his wife traveled for work. “I needed a break,” she says. Also an avid tennis player, Timpanaro wanted to take a trip with the nonprofit educational travel organization Road Scholars to Indian Wells, but her local friends couldn’t go.4 continued on page 16

So the Redding Six opened their arms and their hearts to a stranger, and in turn added a lifelong friend to their tight tribe. “They just sort of adopted me and took me under their wing,” Timpanaro says. “Pat is a beautiful lady,” says Sallie Carmona, who has lived in Redding for more than 60 years. “It was easy to embrace a friendship with her.” The following year, the whole crew went back to Indian Wells – and this time, Timpanaro’s son’s kidney transplant was in the rear view mirror. “They had become true companions who helped me weather one of my life’s most difficult storms,” she says. In turn, Timpanaro nominated the Redding Six for the Road Scholars friendship contest. They’re among 13 worldwide finalists competing for a $5,000 Road Scholar gift certificate. People can view the nomination videos and vote online once a day through July 31, and the winner will be announced in September. The ladies have been drumming up votes via email, Facebook and text messaging, along with word of mouth – lots and lots of word of mouth. “People are going to start running from us,” Carmona says, pulling a “vote for us” flyer out of a plastic bag. The Redding Six, wearing handmade “Pat’s Friend” shirts, include retired teachers Sublett, Carmona and Jackie Evans; retired banker and accountant Barbara Haley; retired accountant Marge Scott; and retired county schools librarian Norma Azevedo. They’ve played tennis together for decades at Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness. 16 | ENJOY MAY 2015

“We call Barbara the moving wall – she doesn’t slow down,” says Carmona, who bought her first tennis racket with S&H green stamps. “Marge is a leftie so she zips,” Sublett says. “And Kathy has an old racquetball swing that puts an ol’ spinaroonie on it,” Carmona adds. “That’s because I never took lessons,” Sublett replies. Tennis is more than a workout for this crew. “We’ve all had crisis in our lives, and at times I’ve thought about giving up Sun Oaks, but that’s where the people come out,” Azevedo says. “We laugh together, pray together, eat together – it’s a great support system and a family.” And Timpanaro fit in perfectly. “Besides tennis, she loves photography, as does Norma. She loves travel, as does Marge,” Sublett says. “We spent five days sharing, sharing, eating, eating, watching shirtless guys. And on the last day, we were at a street fair in Palm Springs, and Pat says something about going to meet her partner. She said, ‘Oh, I’m in the Senior Olympics for ping pong and he’s flying in from Hong Kong.’ We said, ‘What? We can’t go home – we have more to learn.’” Timpanaro was awed by the positivity and fun that the Redding Six brought to the table. “When you hang out with people like that, it is very life-giving. Even now I find myself smiling just thinking of them and some of their antics. My only regret is we live very far away from each other. “So often you don’t let people know what they’ve meant to you,” Timpanaro says. “Someone once said that life is not measured in years but in moments. Marge, Kathy, Jackie, Barb, Norma and Sallie gave me moments I will treasure forever.” • www.roadscholar.org/friendscontest

out there that are doing a really wonderful job and they’re not doing it for the money; they’re doing it for the kids.” While maintaining a schedule teaching horsemanship clinics that keeps him on the road 40 weeks a year—“it’s all as romantic and glorious as you might think,” he says, wryly— the Sheridan, Wyo.-based cowboy is also busy working on the film adaptation of his book, “The Faraway Horses.” The feature film will more closely follow “some of my darkest times,” he says, and will delve more deeply into his childhood. His triumphant emergence from these dark times has much to do with is transformative work with horses. Two-and-a-half weeks of his 40-week clinic schedule will be spent in Tehama County this month, as Brannaman offers various levels of horsemanship clinics at the Tehama District Fairgrounds in Red Bluff and Rolling Hills Equestrian Center in Corning. The clinics are organized by Cornish and her husband, Dan Gunter, who have been bringing Brannaman to the North State for about 10 years. Gunter has the distinction of being the cowboy who was bitten by a particularly rough horse in one of Buck’s most dramatic moments.4 continued on page 20

WHEN CHICO HORSEWOMAN TINA CORNISH accompanied her longtime friend, legendary horse trainer Buck Brannaman, to the 2011 Sundance Film Festival screening of “Buck,” a documentary about Brannaman, she was sweetly surprised by “how non-horse people were drawn to him just because of the message.” To say they were drawn to him is a bit of an understatement. The film took the U.S. Audience Award that year. His message was built in by design. Brannaman agreed to director Cindy Meehl’s request to create a film about him only if it included elements of his life beyond his renown as a horseman. The result is a deeply felt story of Brannaman rising above a childhood of abuse that led to him being placed in foster care. His reputation as a horse whisperer—someone who teaches a humane and respectful way of working with horses and their people—seems all the more remarkable knowing that Brannaman himself has suffered tremendous trauma. “Now people realize they can connect with me more than they thought,” says Brannaman, noting that prior to the film’s production, people sometimes felt he would not be approachable as a renowned and glamorized horse trainer. “A lot of people’s perception of the foster care system is incredible success of the system. There are social workers

’’IT’S NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN HOW I AM WITH MY OWN KIDS,’’ SAYS BRANNAMAN, NOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF REWARDING GOOD BEHAVIOR WHILE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DO THE WRONG THING. ’’IT’S NOT BASED ON REWARD AND PUNISHMENT,’’ HE SAYS. ’’THE WAY YOU APPROACH HORSES PHILOSOPHICALLY IS A COMMON SENSE APPROACH.’’

The couple’s Pine Creek Ranch is dedicated to high-end show and troubled horses, and they practice the philosophy of horsemanship that Brannaman teaches. “It’s a very humane way to approach horses, where you try to make the horse your partner rather than a slave,” says Brannaman. “He’s the only clinic I host right now,” says Cornish. “The thing with Buck is that he’s such a horseman and he’s able to work with people at any level. He just provides you with really crisp, clean direction and it works with any horse and any rider.” Although the clinics are full for participants, they are open to the public to view for a fee. While they are particularly appealing to those wishing to better their horsemanship, there are deep parallels to interpersonal human relationships. “It’s not any different than how I am with my own kids,” says Brannaman, noting the importance of rewarding good behavior while making it difficult to do the wrong thing. “It’s not based on reward and punishment,” he says. “The way you approach horses philosophically is a common sense approach.” The afternoons of the clinic at Rolling Hills Equestrian Center will include Brannaman teaching ranch roping, which he describes as an “alternative sport to the type of roping you see in big rodeos. It’s not about speed.” Rather, he says, “We basically teach people the skills you would use on a large ranch if you have a calf that is sick.” In Big Sky country, such as Wyoming, the distances may be too far to drive cattle into a corral for doctoring, so “you have to be able to do it at the end of a rope.” As Brannaman continues a career that has spanned 33 years, he looks to the children of the first students he started training as his greatest rewards. “There are kids all over the country that started with me because their parents were with me,” he says. Cornish’s own children are prime examples as they now make their own way in the horse worlds. “That next generation will be my legacy,” says Brannaman. “They will carry on the tradition of fine horsemanship.” • Buck Brannaman Clinics May 8-11, 2015 • Tehama District Fairgrounds • Red Bluff May 15-18, 2015 • Rolling Hills Equestrian Center • Corning www.thepinecreekranch.weebly.com/clinics.html

Grilling with wood pellets is so much better than charcoal or gas! Because food simply tastes better when cooked over real wood. Pellets are made from clean, kiln-dried sawdust, with the flavor molecules totally intact! Now you can “turn pro” in your own back yard. The Stove Junction features two excellent wood pellet grills! A Green Mountain pellet grill allows you to cook a huge variety of foods: meats, poultry, fish, vegetables, pizza (especially pizza!), casseroles, bread, even chocolate chip cookies.

The Black Olive’s patented design and shape gives it the ability to quickly achieve temperatures in excess of 650˚F or as low as 150˚F, making it perfect for smoking, baking, roasting, grilling and even searing. The expandable 19 3/8" cooking surface offers plenty of room to cook all of your favorite foods.

T H E E A S YG O I N G AT T I T U D E O F D O W N TO W N D U N S M U I R LIKE A LOT OF ITS RESIDENTS, Wayne Meredith, a longtime business owner, enjoys the small-town pace of life in Dunsmuir and points out that nobody spends time waiting in line at the stop signal. “Of course, we’re not waiting at stop signals because we don’t have any,” the former mayor adds with a knowing smile. That easygoing and friendly attitude is prevalent throughout Dunsmuir’s colorful downtown, where life is, indeed, slow and steady—like the Union Pacific trains that chug along the tracks adjoining Sacramento Avenue. The railroad was central to Dunsmuir’s history and it remains a big presence. The town began to flourish in the 1880s when railroad tracks were laid along the upper Sacramento River canyon. A rail yard, complete with a turntable for re-routing steam engines, was quickly developed and Dunsmuir remained a railroad hub well into the 20th century. Celebrities enjoyed traveling to Dunsmuir by train to take in the fresh air and relax at resorts along the river. During his campaign, President John F. Kennedy stopped and spoke from the back of a train. Clark Gable was on his way to the William Randolph Hearst compound on the McCloud River and stopped to chat with folks in the late 1920s.

A small railroad museum and adjoining display room are next to the Amtrak Depot on Sacramento Avenue, and both are open on the third Saturday of each month to tell of the city’s railroading heritage through photos, books and artifacts. (Alexander Dunsmuir, a British Columbian coal magnate, was so impressed with the town that he offered to donate a fountain in exchange for renaming the town to honor his family. The fountain, donated in 1888, is located at the entrance to Dunsmuir City Park and not far from where a vintage locomotive is parked.) Sacramento Avenue, with its brick buildings and quaint businesses—the Dogwood Diner and Brown Trout Vintage Emporium are perfect examples—attract railroad buffs, North State history fans and curious shoppers throughout the year. Peter Arth, a retired Public Utilities Commission attorney from San Francisco, fell in love with Dunsmuir and relocated in 2007. Since then, he has made it his mission to acquire and preserve as much of the city as he can, including his two-story brick home on Sacramento Avenue. So far, he has acquired 17 properties in Dunsmuir.4 continued on page 24

Alexander Dunsmuir, a British Columbian coal magnate, was so impressed with the town that he offered to donate a fountain in exchange for renaming the town to honor his family.

A self-described “amateur” fisherman, Arth was drawn to Dunsmuir by its clean air, fresh water, “the history of the town and its links to the railroad and the river.” He hopes his efforts can prevent Dunsmuir from experiencing the same fate that befell his home town of Redlands, which he says lost a lot of its old buildings and small-town feel in an effort to become more modern. Arth’s partner, Debra Day, who operates the Brown Trout, says Dunsmuir’s charms are simple and sincere. “It’s just a nice community. It’s so nice to walk down the street and be next to world-class fishing and to hear the sound of the river.” Kate Chadwick, Dogwood Diner’s chef, brought her culinary skills to town in late 2011 and joined Arth in opening the restaurant in 2012. Her previous stops include New Orleans, Santa Rosa and Eureka, where she owned Hurricane Kate’s. “I fell in love with this building and I love living in this little

canyon. I think it has potential. It’s getting on people’s radar, and not just for fishing,” Chadwick says. While not exactly modern, Dunsmuir features a slightly updated look on its other main street, Dunsmuir Avenue, where a lot of the homes and other buildings date back to the early 1900s. The California Theatre, which opened in 1926, still maintains a regal air. The theater is open on weekends for the screening of vintage films. Linda Price, a volunteer at the Siskiyou Arts Museum on the east side of Dunsmuir Avenue, says a little research led her to her new home. Having spent three years in Ashland, Ore., in the 1980s, Price says she couldn’t wait to move back after she retired in San Diego. However, after a quick look at Ashland’s real estate market, she realized she couldn’t afford to pursue that dream. Instead, she began scouring the Internet for towns in the area and discovered Dunsmuir; she made the move 10 years ago. “It4 continued on page 26

Plus we’ve got the best restaurants,” Price says. Dunsmuir’s official motto is “Home of the best water on Earth,” and Meredith says that’s more than a simple brag. A quartet of springs just north of town provides the city’s water, which is delivered at a brisk 40 degrees year-round through a gravity-fed system. The water is believed to originate deep within Mt. Shasta and is filtered through miles of lava tubes before it bubbles up to the surface near Mossbrae Falls. “I was talking to a guy who lived here in the ’60s, who was a former mayor, and he said the government sent a team out to test the water. They went to the council to give a report and said, by far, it was the best water on Earth,” Meredith says. Dunsmuir is rightfully proud of its water, and generous too. A pair of public drinking fountains is constantly flowing, offering locals and visitors alike a refreshing sip or an opportunity to fill a jug. (Lest anyone think Dunsmuir is being wasteful during California’s prolonged drought, Meredith notes that unused water from the fountains simply continues into the Sacramento River and eventually into Shasta Lake.)

A visit to downtown Dunsmuir isn’t complete without checking in with Bob Grace at the Ted Fay Fly Shop, either for fishing tips or some thoughtful ruminations on modern-day life, and a stop at the Dunsmuir Brewery Works for a bite to eat and a pint. David Clarno, the brewery’s co-owner, remains optimistic about Dunsmuir, especially when he sees more families choosing to settle in the small town. He’s also heartened by the emergence of small companies like FireWhat, a GIS and technology company focused on wildfire management, and Pusher, Inc., a creative design and Web development company. “There are a lot of young, intelligent people moving in,” Clarno says. • www.dunsmuir.com Upcoming events: May 9 – National Train Day, 10 am-4 pm at the Amtrak Depot May 23 – Dogwood Days

EARTH VINE TA K E A S I P AT T R I N I T Y CO U N T Y ’ S W I N E R I E S

IF YOU’VE EXPLORED TRINITY COUNTY, perhaps you were lured by the promise of backpacking the rugged Alps, whitewater rafting, pristine forest camping or exploring Gold Rush history. But the vineyards in this picturesque wilderness area are also growing as a destination. The climate and soil of Trinity’s mountains infuse unique tastes into grapes grown there, and their vintners welcome guests with unpretentious charm. Hot days, cold nights and frequent threat of frost create brain-teasing challenges for these winemakers, but their vineyards have produced award-winning wine in the 96,000-acre Trinity Lakes Viticulture Area. ALPEN CELLARS WINERY: It takes a certain kind of persistence to make wine in the Trinities. Simple activities like receiving shipments of wine bottles become all-day events for Keith Groves, as a semitruck can’t navigate the narrow dirt road that leads to Alpen Cellars. Instead, the truck parks miles away, and pallets are shuttled individually up the path. It’s a small price to pay for the pastoral bliss found in his tasting area. Simple picnic tables overlook the vineyards and a spacious meadow, where a waterwheel stands sentry over a pond of ducks. The alps stretch up in the distance and fall off into the haze, mirroring the sketch on Alpen Cellars’ wine label. His winery sits in an area that’s largely undeveloped in this Gold Rush county. “The east fork of the Trinity River didn’t carry any gold,” says Groves, who was born in Stringtown, which flooded when Trinity Dam was built. The Alpen Cellars property was founded as a ranch in 1855, and Groves’ father, Mark, planted the first grapevines in 1981. There were no vineyards in Trinity County then, but Keith Groves did a feasibility study in college that supported the idea that “yeah, you could grow grapes here,” he says. They established a commercial winery in 1984, and they now produce 45,000 to 60,000 bottles per year – four whites, a rose’ and four reds. Everything is bottled by June 1, and from July to September, the winery is open daily. They get 3,000 to 4,000 visitors per year, depending on the lake level. “Kids bring footballs and Frisbees and run through the sprinklers and play with the horses,” he says.4 continued on page 30

“THE WHOLE IS BETTER THAN THE PARTS,” GROVES SAYS. “IT ADDS DIFFERENT COMPLEXITIES.”

Ten miles from the nearest power grid, the winery is powered by hydroelectricity and a bit of solar energy, a lifesaver when water is scarce (they ran out of power on June 1 last year). Another challenge? Keeping deer and bears out of the grapes. One of several warehouses on the property holds rows of wooden barrels that aren’t as similar as they look. American oak infuses vanilla and orange flavors, while French oak is more lemony, and so on. Each wine is a blend of at least three barrels, since “the whole is better than the parts,” Groves says. “It adds different complexities.” The old kitchen in a circa-1930 house serves as the bottling room. They fill and cork 12 bottles a minute, all by hand. “We could spend $100,000 on a bottling line, but it would still be 12 bottles per minute,” he says. “Part of this is to create jobs.” Unlike wineries in more metropolitan areas, “90 percent of the time, you’re dealing with one of the owners when you visit,” says Groves, whose father still gives him advice and whose 87-year-old mother, Betty Jane, is the gardener. “We talk wine, but also timber politics and fishing and whatever they want to talk about.”

ONE MAPLE WINERY: When Ernie Bell moved to Trinity County from New Hampshire about 30 years ago, he brought some sugar maple trees with him. “All of them died but one, and we planted it at the top of the vineyard,” says his wife, Kristel. “It’s still there.” The tenacious tree is not only their winery’s namesake, but it’s symbolic of the Bells’ determination. They planted vines on the 12-acre undeveloped property in 1998. “We had lots of family and friends over, and we planted each one by hand – 10,000 plants,” she says. “My husband wanted a vineyard when he retired. This was his dream, and by golly, we made his dream come true.” They built the tasting room in 2006. A botanical garden pathway leads to Grass Valley Creek, which naturally irrigates the vineyards. Their daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren also have a home (and beehives) on the property. Old English babydoll sheep “mow” the vineyards, and Dolly the dog greets visitors. The wine is bottled on site. “It never leaves until it goes out the door with a customer,” Bell says. They produce Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Tempranillo. The difference between Trinity County wines and those from other regions? “It’s all about the soil and climate. We have more of that rocky clay soil, which makes the wine earthier and fruitier than other areas.” One Maple occasionally hosts special activities, including a harvest party, art events and weddings at a gazebo down by the creek. “A couple had their first date here during a concert, and two years later, they got married here before the concert of the same performer,” Bell says. • Kerri Regan grew up in the North State and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Francisco State University.

O L D L E W I S TO N 2 6 T H P E D D L E R S ’ FA I R E ON A TYPICAL DAY, the population of the tiny Trinity County town of Lewiston stands at about 1,400 residents. But on the first Saturday of June, the historic mining community balloons into a busting metropolis when the Old Lewiston Peddlers’ Faire comes to town. The 26th annual event will be June 6 and about 10,000 visitors are expected to meander the streets of Lewiston, which will be jam-packed with vendor booths, food stands, two music stages, arts and crafts stations and a wine tasting highlighting samples from local wineries. “It’s just a special environment,” says George Bates, a Lewiston resident and event organizer. “There’s an old-town feeling to it.” Most of the action takes place on Deadwood Road, which parallels the Trinity River. The Lewiston Moose Car Show on the other side of the river can be accessed by walking across the famous one-way Old Lewiston Bridge.

The main streets of Old Lewiston are closed to traffic and the whole community comes together to welcome people from near and far to this family-friendly event, where kids can enjoy face-painting, temporary tattoos and craft stations while adults admire hot rods and classic cars at the car show, sample local wines and enjoy blast-from-the-past moments while perusing antique stands. The Peddlers’ Faire’s reputation as a fun, start-of-the-summer day festival has made it one of those events that people put on their calendar as an annual destination. “There’s tons of people, not just from Lewiston, but from all over Northern California,” says Patrick John from the Q97 Billy & Patrick morning radio show. The popular radio duo will hold a live broadcast for a portion of the day. “There’s tons of food, it’s tons of fun. There’s something for everybody, something for the whole family,” he adds.4 continued on page 34

Last year’s event had nearly 100 booths, according to Tina Teuscher, a Lewiston resident and event organizer. She says the huge variety of vendors is one of the big attractions of the event. “There’s everything from painters and iron workers to booths with jewelry, birdhouses, local honey and spices, bread mixes – even wind chimes made out of wine bottles,” says Teuscher, who sells her homemade jewelry at a booth. There are plenty of vendors from Lewiston, but also from other parts of California as well as the country. The Peddlers’ Faire also draws antique buffs (as does Lewiston itself ), and serious antique shoppers may find dealers displaying furniture, equipment, old bottles, historic advertising signs and tools. The “Taste of Trinity” wine tasting begins at 11 am. Participants can sample wines from several local wineries including Lewiston’s own One Maple Winery, Alpen Cellars in Trinity Center and Dogwood Estate Winery in Willow Creek. The tasting costs $10 per person (must be age 21 or over) and participants will receive a commemorative wine glass. The Old Lewiston Peddlers’ Faire is held rain or shine from 9 am to 4 pm and admission is free. There’s plenty of free parking, according to Bates. Lewiston, which lies beneath the Trinity Alps and is bordered by Trinity and Lewiston Lakes, is 25 miles west of Redding and a 12-minute drive east from Weaverville. From either direction on Highway 299, follow the signs to Lewiston via Trinity Dam Boulevard. Lewiston is on the left. • 26th Old Lewiston Peddlers’ Faire Saturday June 6 www.lewistonpeddlersfaire.com www.visittrinity.com

Musical Guests B A N D S S TAY AT B R I D G E H O U S E & P L AY AT V I N TAG E W I N E B A R TOURING MUSICIANS DON’T ASK FOR A LOT and they’ll often put up with less, just for a chance to play. Bad food and bumpy beds are often par for the course for artists whose first and last names are not Taylor and Swift. In Redding, though, two music-loving business owners are turning the tables on that scenario. Janis Logan, coowner of Vintage Wine Bar & Restaurant, and Janelle Pierson, proprietor of Bridgehouse Bed & Breakfast, have been pooling their hospitality forces to transform downtown Redding into a star attraction on the traveling musicians’ circuit. It’s a stay-and-play package that’s a win for the businesses, North State music fans and the musicians who are discovering that Redding is more than an Interstate 5 way station. In most cases, artists can turn a weeknight travel day into a chance to perform for an attentive room, pick up a couple hundred bucks, enjoy a good meal and finish off the day with a good night’s sleep. “They’re very kind,” says John Craigie of the hosting duo. A popular folk singer who has been traveling the country for the past 10 years, Craigie says he first heard about Redding from a friend in San Francisco. “I originally thought, ‘No, I don’t think so,’ but I came and played.”

He describes the accommodations as being “on the generous side” and has made Vintage a tour stop four or five times. He’s also telling fellow artists about Redding, which he admits he used to consider “kind of a dead zone” when it came to scheduling shows in far Northern California. Such word-of-mouth advertising is invaluable. “In that musician community, when they’re talking about where they play, they pay attention,” says Pierson, who started her business in 2007 and began collaborating with Logan the following year. The same thing goes for booking agents, Pierson says, noting how the representative for the California Honeydrops, a popular dance band that has played the Vintage three times, frequently calls to inquire about scheduling other artists. “Because we’re a small venue, I don’t think I would get the people I get without being able to offer Janelle’s part,” says Logan. By making a night at the Bridgehouse B&B a part of the package, Logan believes she is able to book big names like Holly Williams, the Stone Foxes and Nora Jane Struthers and still keep ticket prices relatively low (usually $10 to $20).4 continued on page 38 MAY 2015 ENJOY | 37

“I get super good musicians coming through who will play a smaller venue for a little bit less money because of Janelle,” Logan says. “It’s awesome.” Based on her conversations with band members, Logan says her arrangement is fairly unique. “Half the musicians sleep on couches, in record stores, basements, their cars, hotels … but here, Janelle makes them breakfast in the morning; they sleep on high-quality beds. Plus they get to play a smaller venue.” Redding’s location also works in its favor. “Some of these groups are looking for something to do between San Francisco and Portland since they can’t really do that drive in one day,” Pierson says. Housing her musical guests is a labor of love for Pierson, who has incorporated concert posters and instruments into the décor of her B&B. “It makes me love my job. You can’t put words to it and you certainly can’t put dollars to it. There’s nothing that’s equal. These are people who really appreciate being treated well. Even Willie Watson, who has toured around and played everywhere, said by far it’s the best accommodations he’s ever had,” she says, referring to the founder of Old Crow Medicine Show, who performed at Vintage in January and returned in March. “This is something I’ve been able to do, and I want to be able to do it, and I appreciate that there’s so much wonderful music out there. I’m so happy I can do something to make their day special,” Pierson says. Those days become extra special when those guests share their talents when the evening’s concert is done. “It’s incredible. Both houses have pianos, and if a musician is interested in the piano at all, you know it within five minutes. They’re playing and singing and filling the house with joy. It’s really fun when other guests are there, too. When they find out there’s a musician among them, the CDs come out, a guitar comes out…” • Vintage Wine Bar & Restaurant 1790 Market St., Redding (530) 229-9449 Bridgehouse Bed & Breakfast 1455 Riverside Drive, Redding (530) 247-7177 On the web: www.vintageredding.com www.bridgehousebb.com

IF YOU’VE SEEN ONE BIG TREE then you’ve seen them all, right? But if that were true, how do we explain the evergrowing interest in the Sequoia Sempervirens, the coastal redwood? The wonder inspired by these trees is as old as the trees themselves, although public interest has grown, thanks to groups like the Save-the-Redwoods League and big-tree hunters who locate, measure and name the world’s largest trees. Where giant trees grow, other giants follow – fauna and creatures. One such giant is the Roosevelt elk, the largest of the elk subspecies. This wild animal measures up to 10 feet in length and five feet in height at the shoulder (to say nothing of antlers) and can reach 1,300 pounds. Jim Wheeler, a ranger interpreter for the National Park Service, regularly encounters these behemoths in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. “Mega fauna,” he calls them, “animals leftover from the Ice Age. When you see a Roosevelt elk, you can imagine grizzly bears on the landscape.”

In 1898, American biologist C. Hart Merriam named the elk after not-yet-President Theodore Roosevelt for his conservationism. The name proved prophetic, since conservation efforts brought the elk back from the brink of extinction. Today, Prairie Creek, one of four parks within the larger Redwood National and States Park, is known as much for its Roosevelt elk as for its coastal redwoods. In 1920, Prairie Creek was Save-the-Redwoods League’s first project to preserve the world’s largest trees, and indirectly, maybe even unintentionally, the world’s largest elk. “Actually,” says Wheeler, “the establishment of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park protected the last herd here in California.” When the state conducted an official count of the elk in 1925, only 15 were counted. “They were on the verge of extinction,” says Wheeler, though perhaps “as many as 50 or 60 were wandering around.” Still, Wheeler continues, “what we do know is that all the Roosevelt elk are descended from that herd.”4 continued on page 42

ELK PRAIRIE— A NATURAL GRAZING PLACE FOR ROOSEVELT ELK.

Today there are about 5,000 Roosevelt elk, “and about 250 of those animals are associated with the parks here,” says Wheeler. The elk remain one of the park’s greatest attractions, though Prairie Creek’s coastal location give it a special allure. Wheeler grew up an Air Force brat, and moved often until he planted roots in Prairie Creek. “I’m almost embarrassed to say, but in the park service I’m known as a homesteader.” Most employees move around to move up, “but I’ve been bucking the system my whole time here,” Wheeler says with a laugh. So what kept him here these past 28 years? “Well,” he says, “for one things my favorite color is green. And I love trees.” But for Wheeler, Prairie Creek satisfied a deeper, more mysterious longing. “When I was a child, I used to have a recurring dream of a place along the coast where a forest went all the way down the beach,” recalls Wheeler. He used to think Big Sur was the forest in his dreams, “but when I moved up here in the 1980s I realized, no, this is actually the placed I had dreamed about as a kid.” According to Wheeler, Prairie Creek is more lush than other parks, with deeper undergrowth, larger ferns and “the most complicated canopies of the parks.” Coastal winds occasionally shorten treetops, though the new growth is wilder. Like other parks, Prairie Creek has its tallest trees, reaching well over 300 feet. Some groves, like Atlas and Titans’, remain undisclosed to the public, but Wheeler says they’re not always far off the beaten path. It’s a double-edged sword, he says. “When trees get a name, they become an object, almost like a trophy for people.” The name draws people to the parks, but the increased foot traffic also damages the root system. “Protecting the overall forest is more important than the individual trees,” he adds.

If anybody doubts that trophy hunting threatens these trees, they need only remember that hunters nearly brought Roosevelt elk to extinction. Hundreds of miles of trail throughout Prairie Creek safely offer park guests a close-up encounter with both of these preserved giants. Beside the redwoods and elk, Prairie Creek protects a third treasure unique to the park – a 150-acre swath of grass and flower that is guarded by the surrounding forest. Elk Prairie is a natural grazing place for Roosevelt elk and a magnificent juxtaposition between the forest’s density and height. “The prairie is the opposite of the old grove forest,” he says. And this meadow, like the elk that graze upon it, “probably dates back to the last Ice Age.” Like other parks, Prairie Creek offers the usual amenities: Campsites, trails, a visitor center. But not all parks offer trails that work like a time capsule, a means to witness the animals, trees and meadows born out of the last Ice Age. Imagine the sight, emerging from wild undergrowth, between columns of redwoods – the open field and a herd of grazing Roosevelt elk. These elk have grazed this grass for thousands of years, and they will graze for a thousand more. A sight worth preserving, and open to all guests of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. • Prairie Creek Redwood State Park www.nps.gov/redw www.parks.ca.gov Visitor’s center: (707) 465- 7765

ACADEMY OF PERSONALIZED LEARNING APL Focuses on STEM!

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. We focus on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively.

As a result of Academy of Personalized Learning’s STEM focus, APL students Wyatt Lacroix (10th Grade), left, Henry Jorrick (9th Grade), second from left, and Logan Matti (10th Grade), present Project Titan, the exoskeleton they made for the STEM Fair, to STEM Fair judge Chaise Vidal at the STEM Fair at Folsom High School.

Project Titan took 1st place in the Special Recognition Category and 2nd place overall. APL students also served as exhibitors, showcasing our robotics, rockets, and project boards, right alongside colleges, banks, and other STEM careers and businesses.

Giving Feet to Dreams E A S T G A T E W A T E R : A F A M I LY V I S I O N

WHEN LINDA MCINTOSH FIRST ARRIVED AT HER HUSBAND’S FAMILY RANCH, her senses were set ablaze. Nestled off Highway 36 East about 11 miles outside of Red Bluff ’s city limits, smells of fresh air rustled up an earthy tone when the weather changed; a wide creek provided delightful sounds and sights; a breeze would caress the face. There were wonderful tastes, as well. Water bubbled up from a natural spring and arrived gravity-fed to the ranch house, where Linda enjoyed what she deemed the best drink she’d ever tasted. Her sights were immediately set on having it tested to see if it would be viable to bottle for sale. It was that good. “That was in the ‘80s,” she says, when people laughed at the idea of buying bottled water. Nobody would do it, they said. “That’s the kind of feedback we got.” A dream was deferred and Linda set about a career as a youth pastor, traveling the world to develop leadership skills in young people. Locally, she joined forces with daughter Loni to develop Live Empowered, a non-profit organization that uses creativity and artistic endeavors to help develop and nourish dreams and life skills.4

Helping

Dreams come true for over 20 years. The past few months I’ve been preparing to play the role of Peter Pan in the Cascade Theater’s musical production, Peter Pan. In order to develop strength and stamina for my part, I’ve been working out with a personal trainer at Adamson’s Peak Performance. She has specifically helped me to develop the strong core that I need to fly! I’m extremely happy with the progress I’ve made and thankful to Adamsons dedication in helping me to achieve my goal!

DATE NIGHT

BY KIMBERLY BONÉY

GROWN UP —T I M E O U T — A VA R I E T Y O F DAT E N I G H T I D E A S F O R T I M E W I T H YO U R S W E E T H E A R T A DATE: that once-in-a-blue-moon, wish-it-couldhappen-more-often, joyful moment in time when you don’t have to be a parent, an employee, a caregiver, or anything but a person in love with your significant other. It’s a quintessential bonding ritual that is all too often overshadowed by the responsibilities of life. But it’s equally important to keep the core of the family – your relationship with your love – healthy, happy and thriving. Here are some ways to bond with your special someone. FOR A LITTLE PAMPERING: Life is tough sometimes. Take the edge off with a couples’ massage. Not only will your tired muscles thank you, but you and your partner can bond over mutual, blissful relaxation. But don’t stop there. Take in some of the other refreshingly wonderful services (side-byside pedicures, anyone?) offered at your favorite day spa. You’ll want to want to put this date on repeat.

FOR THE ROMANTICS AT HEART: Nothing says romance like a gondola floating down the Canal Grande in Venice. But you don’t need a passport or a plane to take your own romantic drift down the river. Check out River Romance Tours of Redding (riverromancecruises.com) and book a float for two. You’ll enjoy scenic views, fresh air and dinner prepared right on the vessel. Bring your own beverages and create a lasting memory. FOR A TASTE OF SOMETHING DELICIOUS: THe art of enjoying food is more than just about flavor itself. It’s about the experience. At Kahuna’s Mongolian Barbecue (kahunasmongolianbbq.com) in Redding, food and fun are on full blast. The unique dining experience allows you to customize your own masterpiece. Pick a recipe on the wall and make it “as is” or modify it to suit your tastes. Hint: There is no such thing as “too much sauce.”4 continued on page 52 MAY 2015 ENJOY | 51

FOR A TASTE OF THE OUTDOORS: We’re not at a loss for options where outdoor beauty is concerned here in the North State. From a visit to Brandy Creek to the breathtaking sight of Burney Falls in any season, all you need is a picnic basket with all of your favorite goodies, a blanket, your camera and your honey. FOR BREW LOVERS: Takea tour of the world famous Sierra Nevada Brewing Company (sierranevada. com) in Chico and see how the North State’s favorite beer is made. Round out this fun-filled experience with a meal at the restaurant and a visit to the gift shop. Be sure to pick up a bag of Chocolate Pale Ale Brittle Crunch, made exclusively for Sierra Nevada by Joy Lyn’s Candies (joylynscandies.com) in Paradise. In fact, pick up a few bags. It’s that good. FOR COFFEE-DRINKING LOVERS: Take a scenic drive west on Highway 299 to The Strawhouse (strawhouseresort.com) in Big Flat. From delicious coffee to stellar pastries, breakfast and lunch options, you’ve got your pick of things to nosh on while you absorb the natural beauty surrounding you there. Wood-fired pizzas are a Friday night specialty that is worth the drive. Perched on the edge of the Trinity River, The Strawhouse is an ideal place for bird watching and offers some stunning backdrops for selfies - or should we say “us-ies”- with your love.

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month

Rheumatologists are sub-specialists who are specifically trained to diagnose Connective Tissue Diseases (CTD’s). There are more than 100 CTD’s which include inflammation of joints, tendons, muscle, and blood vessels. Arthralgia is pain in a joint. Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. Arthritis is not a single disease. There are many forms of arthritis. In the U.S. it is estimated that there are 46 million adults and 300,000 children with arthritis. HERE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF ARTHRITIS: Rheumatoid Arthritis Osteoarthritis Gout Juvenile Arthritis HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF CTD’S WITH INFLAMMATION: Polymyositis Muscle Disease Tendonitis - inflammation of tendons Fasciitis - inflammation of fascia Vasculitis – of blood vessels

Creaking knees, hips, and ankles are not necessarily normal aches and pains that come with age. Your pain might be inflammatory arthritis. The initial signs and symptoms of arthritis can be confusing. Many people suspect a prior injury or overuse when they experience early symptoms. It is very important to realize that joint pain, joint stiffness and limited range of motion should not be ignored. Paying attention to early symptoms is the first step on your way to being properly diagnosed and treated. Good communication between the Rheumatologist and patient is essential. It is your job to provide your doctor with as much information as possible. It is your doctor’s job to assess your symptoms, gain more information from your medical history, order diagnostic tests, and put together a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Arthritis Awareness Month is designed to challenge arthritis stereotypes and educate the public about the impacts of arthritis, along with promoting clinical and public health interventions to control it. Additional information is available from the Arthritis Foundation.

FOR A TOUCH OF HISTORY AND GOOD WINE: Head south east to New Clairvaux Vineyard (newclairvauxvineyard.com) in Vina. You’ll experience the delicious culmination of the work of Trappist Monks and a local fifth-generation California wine maker – extraordinary reds, whites and rosés that bring a touch of Europe to the North State. The wine tasting room is open daily from 11 am to 5 pm (excluding Holy Days). Visit the monastery to pair a bit of history with your vino. FOR A HEALTHY DOSE OF LAUGHTER: On the third Saturday of every month, join the Redding Improv at Old City Hall (1313 Market St.) for a night of live, off-the-cuff entertainment.

Doors open at 7:30 pm and the show starts at 8 pm. Arrive early. This unique experience is often an every-seat-taken kind of event. Laugh your way through the night for only $5 while supporting a talented, passionate bunch of local performers. FOR AN EXTENDED GETAWAY: Need more than just a few hours away with your love? Consider a cabin or houseboat rental at Silverthorn Resort (silverthornresort.com) at Lake Shasta. Relax among the trees, take a boat out on the water, watch the sun sink peacefully into the horizon and treasure every moment shared with your loved one. It doesn’t get much more romantic than that. • Kimberly N. Bonéy, proud wife and mother, moved to Redding in 2008.

CHEF P O RT R A I T O F A

C H E F M I K E K E N YO N O F S H A S TA E S TAT E S GROWING UP WITH A SINGLE MOM who worked two jobs and an older sister who could not cook, Mike Kenyon’s hunger led him to the kitchen. “I used to have a little stool and would stand on it to reach the stove,” he says. “I would take whatever we had and make something out of it. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it wasn’t.” The executive chef at Shasta Estates Retirement Community, Kenyon recently surpassed a dozen chefs in his region—an area spanning Northern California, Nevada and Southern Oregon—to win the Culinary Arts Award, conferred by parent company Holiday Retirement. This month marks Kenyon’s second anniversary with the organization. “The award goes to the chef with the highest scores in cleanliness, food quality, resident satisfaction—basically, your whole food program,” says Kenyon. “When I got hired, I told the regional chef, ‘I’m going to win it.’” He did, and that win represents a first for Shasta Estates. “As managers, you hope you make the best hiring decisions,” say Stan Fielding and Dale Jakubowski, cocommunity managers of the residential senior community. “We could not have been more right on with our choice of Chef Mike.”4 continued on page 56

MAY 2015 ENJOY | 55

Just two years ago, a resigned Kenyon was contemplating taking a $10-an-hour job as a cook when he opened his phone and discovered the Shasta Estates opening on Craigslist. Within 30 minutes, he was in the office, resume in hand. “I knew this was the right job,” he says, “even though I did not know what exactly was expected of their executive chef.” (His fear over having to puree food proved false.) The path to his dream job, however, has not been an easy one. Born with Blount’s disease, a progressive growth disorder of the tibia that causes the leg to angle inward resembling a bowleg, Kenyon endured multiple surgeries between seventh and 12th grades as well as heart surgery at age 14 for supraventricular tachycardia (rapid heart rate). “It started happening when I was 6 years old,” he says. “My heart would go from its resting rate to 190 beats a minute. They thought I was having panic attacks and I lived with that for a long time until a doctor finally diagnosed it. The next week, I had surgery.” During his senior year of high school, he spent several months at Shriner’s Hospital in Sacramento, recuperating from his final surgery. From his hospital bed, he applied to the Western Culinary Institute in Portland and says as soon as he could walk, he left for Oregon. After graduation, he worked with some of the top chefs in the country, traveling to Las Vegas and Mexico to help open restaurants, eventually landing an executive chef job in Arizona at the age of 21. “I was all about work and career, on the fast track,” says Kenyon. As fast and brightly as his star rose, it began to fade. He admits he began hanging around with the “wrong people” and left Arizona for a fresh start in Delaware, but circumstances did not improve.

56 | ENJOY MAY 2015

Pushed into a spiritual crisis at 25, he had a moment of clarity and says, “I thought to myself, ‘What am I doing?’ I had worked my way up as chef so quickly. To get to where I was feeling so lost and broken just blew my mind.” He made one more move—home to family in Cottonwood, and he has not looked back. The subtle challenge of pleasing his residents is not lost on Kenyon. “I am cooking meals for 100-plus people every day,” he says. “Most of them are women who have cooked most of their lives in a certain way. It is like cooking for your family. They tell you when it is bad and they tell you when it is good.” Using a from-scratch menu, entrees range from meatloaf and mashed potatoes to five-course, five-star meals that include the likes of filet mignon, shrimp, grits and crab beignet, and basil pana cotta. Kenyon is getting ready to start an herb garden on site that will double as his “teaching lab” for residents who want to learn to prepare items using fresh herbs. Residents applaud, cheering him on when he makes the dining room rounds after a special dinner. “That is the best reward,” he says. “When I leave work on those days, I almost tear up on the way home. It means I have accomplished what I tried to accomplish: to make everybody happy.”• Claudia Mosby is fascinated by the power of words to influence, inspire and heal.

THE SIMPLE LIFE IS OFTEN SEEN IN THE PAST. For Kevin Mathis, Hewlett Packard’s merger with Compaq gave him the freedom to seek out a time machine in the form of a new journey. His wife Darlene Mathis, a project manager for Sacramento’s architecture division, worked a skill set in which she could design the past into the interiors of the design and construction projects before her. Together with their son, Tanner, his grandparents, Lonnie and Joan, and their dog, Whisper, they found the time machine in which to create a new life for their family. The McCloud River Mercantile Company hosted their dreams, blending the past and their future in the creation of the McCloud Mercantile Hotel. The Mathis’ new life began with a search for ranch property. After arriving in McCloud, their focus changed to the McCloud Mercantile Building. Built in 1897, escrow closed on April Fools’ Day in 2000, changing the building’s future. Kevin managed the construction, while Darlene created the drawings for the permits. “We purchased the biggest fixer upper,” Darlene says. “We tried to keep the restoration authentic, yet a modern take on the past. The Mercantile is on the National Registry. We didn’t want it to feel stuffy; we wanted the architecture to stand out and have a fresh feeling.” Life centered around electrical renovation, replacing windows, painting and turning the knob of time back to a century before. The renovations moved through different historical times. The 1937 soda shop, The White Mountain Fountain, was peeled back to its wood walls and transom windows. The soda joined a variety of downstairs shops. Meanwhile, the upper story is often unnoticed by visitors. The Mercantile is host to a hotel with the rooms passing through the 1890s to the 1940s. Ten suites include the Arts and Crafts Room, the Railroad Room, the Hot and Tot Room, along with the Shasta4 continued on page 60

Wintu Suite. They are furnished with down comforters, claw-foot tubs, whirlpools and modern radiant heat in the bathroom floors. Twelve-foot-high ceilings give a sense of grandeur. The views from the windows overlook a town caught in the swirl of the same decades imagined in the hotel. Two suites are handicap accessible and an elevator and handicap ramp make the ascent pleasant. The Great Room now hosts the receptions, retreats and the imagination of those needing space to enclose their dreams. More than 150 people can come here at a time and sit back in time while beginning their own futures. “A lot of people think the mercantile is just the stores below,” Darlene says. “Above, there are the rooms and event space. During the summer we specialize in yoga retreats with some of the top yoga masters from around world.” The building’s atmosphere brings one into the unique gentle nature of McCloud. The lazy winds blow with gentle puffs through the stands of trees, as the white clouds watch from overhead. “People come here, sometimes taking a day or two to wind down,” Darlene says. “We are close enough to Redding and Chico where people can in a short distance be close to home and yet far away.” The McCloud Mercantile Hotel looks over historic downtown McCloud. Everything in the community is within walking distance. Time stands still here, holding onto history, while modernity speeds along Highway 89 over the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. The Mt. Shasta Ski Park is minutes away, while the McCloud River with its falls holds onto its past a few miles down the road. “The Hotel isn’t just about making memories, though it does,” Darlene says. “There is a spirit where people can come and reconnect with themselves and others.” • www.mccloudmercantile.com • 241 Main St, McCloud (530) 964-2330

Something’s Blooming in dunsmuir

D O G W O O D DA Z E DAY- LO N G F E S T I VA L DUNSMUIR’S ANNUAL MAY CELEBRATION of its dogwood trees started about six years ago, when Cindy Foreman, then owner of Brown Trout Gallery, planted four of the flowering trees to honor family members. It blossomed when the idea caught on with other residents and now more than 50 dogwoods have been planted around town, mostly on Sacramento and Dunsmuir Avenues. Dogwood Daze has grown into a day-long small-town festival with a lineup of events offering something for everyone. “The first year we held Dogwood Daze, our main goal was to honor those who planted trees, show them off, and unveil the dedication plaque. It was mostly about the trees that year,” says Barbara Cross of Dunsmuir, who has helped organize the event since the beginning. Many of the trees will be in full, vivid bloom with colors ranging from white to pink to salmon to dark rose. But the day isn’t just about the flowering trees. The most popular event is the pie social and sale, a fundraiser that benefits the Dunsmuir Railroad Depot Historical Society. “Local people make and donate the pies, and there’s just a huge variety,” says Cross. “They start selling at 10 am, and if you don’t get there early, you might be out of luck.” Last year, 172 pies were sold in the first four hours. 4 continued on page 64

MAY 2015 ENJOY | 63

The Botanical Gardens, which showcase native dogwoods, will provide free docent-led tours a few times during the day. The library hosts a “gently-used” book sale. A grower’s market and plant sale will be held on Sacramento Avenue. A citywide yard sale is also held, and a map with listings is provided at the Chamber of Commerce. The everpopular Doggie Parade takes place in the afternoon. “It’s really fun. People dress up their dogs and parade them down the street to get judged. About 30 people participated last year,” says Richard Dinges, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. For a touch of small-town Americana, don’t miss the Soapbox Derby races, with kids as young as 3 racing their handmade cars. Mayor “Big Dave” Keisler originated the race and organizes it each year. “Each Saturday in May, I set up a workshop in the park to help the kids make their soapbox cars. The whole town gets together and builds them,” he says. Dunsmuir Avenue is closed and the cars start at the top of the gently sloping hill and race to the bottom. “People line the streets to watch them. It’s a really great activity for the kids.” Adults have an opportunity to race, too, on Sunday. Live music can always be heard on the patio of the Victor Martin Cultural Center. The Siskiyou Arts Museum will host the Dunsmuir Garden Club’s annual flower and plant sale, and will have plant starts for sale. Tickets to the Garden Club Home Garden Tour will be sold inside the museum. Says Dinges, “There truly is something for all ages and all interests. It’s getting more and more popular each year, and becoming a signature Dunsmuir event.” •

Dunsmuir Dogwood Daze Saturday, May 23, 10 am until evening Most events are free and take place along Dunsmuir and Sacramento Avenues. Visit the Chamber of Commerce for maps and information. 5915 Dunsmuir Ave., across from the fire station (530) 235-2177

THE KEY OF Z J EFFERY B RO USSAR D â&#x20AC;&#x201D; K EEPIN G TH E Z YDECO TR ADITIO N ALIVE

JEFFERY BROUSSARD & THE CREOLE COWBOYS perform Zydeco, a dance music created by Creole French-speaking people of African descent who historically lived on the prairies of Southwest Louisiana. Zydeco was built by musicians with little or no formal training who improvised the music of their generation out of the ones that came before them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hybrid blend of cultural elements based on the music of western France, brought to what is now the Canadian province of Nova Scotia by early settlers. As it traveled to the deep south of the United States, it met and incorporated singing styles learned from the Native Americans, syncopation and percussion from Africans, reels and square dances from the Anglo-Americans, Spanish folk tunes and guitar music, and accordion music traditions from JewishGerman merchants. At present, an informal circuit of devotees to the Zydeco culture resides in New Orleans, Lake Charles, Houston, Port Arthur, Beaumont and Los Angeles, and they are helping to keep this music tradition alive. Zydeco bands are characterized by the use of the frottoir (metal washboard) played with thimbles, spoons or bottle openers; the accordion; and the singing of rhythm, blues and soul in Creole French. Born in Lafayette, La., accordion master and vocalist Jeffery Broussard is the youngest of 11 children.4 continued on page 68 MAY 2015 ENJOY | 67

“I don’t just play music to play, I play from my heart. Half of the time when I’m playing, it’s like my hands leave my body; I don’t even know what I am playing. Any songs that I play, I add what I think will make the melody more beautiful. There is a lot of me that goes into the music that I play. I guess you could say it’s all about creativity.” Jeffery and his band also perform for schools and groups of children. They provide interactive presentations about Louisiana music and culture, play songs, and teach Zydeco dance lessons, including basic steps of the waltz and two-step. • Jeffery Broussard and The Creole Cowboys Tuesday, May 26 Sierra Nevada Big Room in Chico www.sierranevada.ticketleap.com 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. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico Enterprise-Record, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue, and Rolling Stone magazines.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JEFFERY BROUSSARD

The son of sharecropper and accordionist Delton Broussard, Jeffery began his musical journey on the drums in his father’s legendary band, the Lawtell Playboys. During this time, he was exposed to some of the great Creole fiddle players, including the king of the Zydeco fiddle, Calvin Carriere. “I quit school after the seventh grade,” says Broussard. “All I did was farming and play music. I did this to help try to make ends meet because I came from a big family and I’m not ashamed to say it, but we needed the money. I grew up playing drums in my father’s band. Over time I learned to play all of the other instruments, and by my teenage years, I settled on the accordion as my favorite. All of my brothers play instruments and all of my sisters sing and some play instruments, too. I learned French from my parents, and I sing the majority of my music in that language.” From his father’s band, Jeffery moved to playing drums in his oldest brother’s band, Clinton Broussard & The Zydeco Machines. In this band, he played the accordion in public for the first time. Zydeco is played on a variety of accordions, but most commonly the triple-row and single-row diatonic button ones. The fiddle is also essential to authentic Zydeco, and Jeffery has become one of a handful of Creole fiddlers still working with this style of music. He plays his own fiddle style, using only two fingers on the strings, sometimes a third, but never a fourth. He plays by sliding into and out of the notes. During the 1980s, Jeffery became more noteworthy, as a leading member of Zydeco Force, an influential band at the forefront of the contemporary nouveau Zydeco movement, a form of Zydeco that fused traditional sounds with hip-hop, reggae and R&B. They became a regional hit across Louisiana and East Texas and were featured in the award-winning German film, “Schultze Gets the Blues,” filmed in the former East Germany and in Texas and Louisiana. After his time with Zydeco Force, Jeffery organized his current band, The Creole Cowboys, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting the Creole culture and traditional Zydeco.

A B B I E E H O R N C U LT I VAT E S W E L L N E S S WITH GROUP DRUMMING THE THUMP OF A DRUM is more than sound. It can be an expression and connection. A way to release worry, show support, gain strength – and have fun. “There is always something magical that happens,” says Abbie Ehorn, whose drumming for wellness efforts are reverberating through the North State. Ehorn uses hand drums, shakers and other percussion instruments to help with stress, grief, anxiety, eating disorders and family dynamics. She’s trained teachers and mental health clinicians, led sessions with foster families, worked alongside therapists and drummed with World War II veterans. “I’ve really found a passion working with the needs of the community,” she says. “Abbie is just amazingly versatile,” says Hillary Lindauer, executive director of Family Counseling Center in Red Bluff. Lindauer and Ehorn joined forces to land a Dignity Health Community Grant in 2012. It paid for drums and launched ongoing drumming sessions for the center’s clients as well as beatstress workshops for the community. The response? Resoundingly positive, according to Lindauer. “Some people said they didn’t expect how powerful it would be emotionally.” One of the pluses of drumming is the concentration demanded, she notes. Participants struggling with an emotional difficulty are drawn away from their problem and into the moment, Lindauer says. Plus there’s strength in being in a group. “I think it helps people to bond. It helps break down isolation,” Lindauer says. A few years ago, Tehama County Mental Health used state funding for innovative approaches to purchase drums and have Ehorn train the staff in therapeutic drumming. Ehorn is working with Shasta Community Health Center in Redding on drumming as a tool for pain management. And she’s led percussion sessions with residents at the state Veterans Home in Redding.4 continued on page 72

heard you feeling apprehensive” or “I heard you feeling frustrated.” In a bereavement group, a loved one’s name is set to a beat. Others echo the pattern while saying the name. The exercise provides validation and connection. In many sessions, Ehorn suggests participants visualize letting go of a fear or problem as they sweep their hands across the drumhead. “I think that is a real powerful metaphor for people dealing with stuff they don’t want,” says Mary Jo Brown, who had Ehorn come to her Healthy Steps class at Enloe Medical Center in Chico. Using the rhythm of music in healing has a long tradition in many cultures, Ehorn notes. “There is something magical about making music with other people and connecting without words.” Unlike instruments that require lessons and lots of practice, drums are very accessible, she adds. It’s easy to jump in and feel successful right away. “Whether you are 5 or 105, you can do it,” Ehorn says. Her goal is to continue to find ways to use drumming to help others. “I want to get the word out that drumming can be a real part of healing,” Ehorn says. • PHOTO: LAURA CHRISTMAN

Sherrie Brookes, supervising rehabilitation therapist at the Veterans Home, says watching residents join in was moving. “It really instills a sense of community. They’re all here with a different life story, and they all come together to play music.” Ehorn’s community wellness efforts are on top of a fulltime teaching job. She’s music specialist for Evergreen Union School District in Cottonwood, where she provides music instruction for some 1,200 kindergartners through eighth-graders. She tapped into the potential of drumming 10 years ago in the classroom. Inspired by a drumming activity at a teacher training in Chico, Ehorn decided to teach world rhythms to her middle school students on drums. The drums were an instant hit. And Ehorn noticed more being mastered than beats. Students worked together. Distracted students focused. Disruptive students engaged. Students with autism and other challenges felt included. Ehorn wanted to know what was behind all of that. She read, attended workshops in Southern California and decided to become a healthy drumming facilitator. She studied with music therapist Christine Stevens and neurologist Barry Bittman, pioneers in drumming for wellness. Facilitated drumming is not a freeform drum circle. The facilitator provides ice-breakers, relaxation exercises, guided imagery and drumming techniques. The protocol encourages confidence and connections. Research shows it reduces anger, improves mood and boosts the immune system, Ehorn says. Drumming is a way to express feelings difficult to put into words. In sessions with cancer patients, Ehorn will ask: “What do you want to say to your disease?” After someone pounds or taps the feeling on the drum, she asks others what they heard. They might respond, “I

It Ain’t Easy Being Green

by Patrick John

I’m stuck between a rock and a green place. We’re in this extended drought and we’re conserving as much as possible, but I still feel guilty for loving my huge, water-sucking lawn. I know water was plentiful when the house was built back in the 1980s, but it’s finally time to think about a new landscape plan. I’ve been checking into xeriscaping, and am headed toward a front yard overhaul. Never heard of xeriscaping? It’s simply combining a variety of landscape principles to conserve water. It doesn’t mean a whole yard full of cactus and rock, either. You can have lawn, just less of it. You can have colorful plants and trees. Simply using native species and drought-tolerant choices with a thoughtful plan will yield water savings. Those water savings equal dollars in your pocket. The Alliance for Water Efficiency cites two recent studies for homes that converted lawn to a xeriscaped area. Over five years, the average monthly water savings was 33%. In summertime, that number was 39%, and these studies were done in Las Vegas. Homeowners also saved about one-third on maintenance (think lawnmower gas/oil, weed eater supplies, fertilizer, sprinkler replacement, etc.). Some studies even show homeowners conserving more than 50%! Some ideas for converting grass into a xeriscaped zone: • Add hardscape like bricks, pavers, flagstone, larger walkways, walls, terraces, concrete or a patio area. They need no water or mowing, and are easy to clean off with a broom or blower. The only negative here is that hardscapes tend to seriously increase your budget.

• Add or enlarge existing bark/mulched beds. The mulch insulates in winter and keeps in much-needed moisture in summer. Just eliminating some turf by doubling the size of beds you already have will make a huge water-saving impact. Bark and mulch are also relatively inexpensive if you buy from the local materials yard rather than by the bag at a big-box store. I can also tell you from experience that the smaller the bark/mulch size, the more often you will have to add or refresh the bed. This is why some people…. • Create planters or beds of pebbles or rock. As long as you keep other debris likes leaves and sticks out of the bed, the decorative rock will look good for a very long time before you need to replace it or add more. There are many rock sizes and color choices available. You can also strategically place some large boulders to add elements of texture and design. The other big piece of the xeriscaping puzzle is having the right irrigation plan. Most of your xeriscaping will definitely need to be on a drip system. Drip irrigation is fairly easy to install and maintain once you have the right manifold(s). If you’re a competent do-it-yourselfer, you can totally tackle this chore. If not, call a landscaper or sprinkler repair service for help. For any remaining grass, there are several new choices for super efficient sprinklers (Rain Bird, Toro, Hunter all have eco-friendly pop-up spray and rotor lines). I hope this gets you thinking about simplifying, beautifying and saving water. Please wish me luck because it’s project time in my front yard...the picture you see below is actually my lawn…this will be my BEFORE photo!

WHAT’S IN STORE

THE PAPER BOX, MAURENE LENSINK & LYNNANNE DEWITT

{Stories} our

PRODUCTS TELL

THE PAPER BOX

ENJOY: Tell us about your jewelry. MAURENE: It’s all hand-done sterling silver, copper and brass. There may be similarity among pieces, but they’re handcrafted so each piece is unique. LYNNANNE: You can order your piece with names, dates, coordinates of a place that is special or just a favorite saying or scripture. The possibilities are endless. ENJOY: How did you become jewelry artists? MAURENE: I’ve always enjoyed art, but I never felt like the jewelry I produced was salesworthy. I wanted to work with silver and I had that desire to learn to solder and take my stuff to a new level. Then I met LynnAnne. I asked her if she’d teach me, so she did. LYNNANNE: I wanted some silver jewelry with my children’s names on it, but everything I found looked exactly the same – it was very cookie-cutter and very expensive. I decided I was going to learn to make it on my own. Learning the basics increased my desire to do silversmithing, so I started to create pieces. Once I learned how to manipulate metals and use the torches, I could pretty much create anything.

ENJOY: When did it become a business venture? LYNNANNE: I started selling pieces about seven years ago, and two years later, I opened The Paper Box. Back in 2013, my husband and I had the opportunity to adopt two children. Because the adoption process is a fulltime job in itself, my business was suffering, so I closed the doors of The Paper Box. In early 2015, Maurene asked me to teach her some silversmithing techniques. We were such a great team that Maurene said, “What about us going into business together?” Hence, The Paper Box doors were re-opened. MAURENE: So we make things and we chat all day. LYNNANNE: And we get to work with fire, which is even more fun. ENJOY: What do people enjoy about your products? LYNNANNE: They can create something specific to them, and no matter how many people order from us, their piece is still one of a kind. That’s why this new venture of selling in the Enjoy store is so exciting. It allows people to not just look at pictures online, they can actually touch the product. MAURENE: We can make bracelets that say words like “love,” “focus,” “power,” or we can customize a word on a bracelet. I have the word “love” on my bracelet, because that’s my word for the year, and LynnAnne has grace. I also have a charm bracelet with all my family members’ names, and I even have a dog print charm with my dog’s name on it. ENJOY: How is your jewelry unique? LYNNANNE: If you go on Etsy, you’re going to see thousands of the same thing, because people order blanks in bulk to stamp them and attach them to a necklace. Ours is custom on a different level. We actually create the metal pieces. The design and texturing of our metals stands out. You’ll know if somebody is wearing one of our pieces.

92 | ENJOY MAY 2015

ENJOY: Tell us a bit about yourselves. MAURENE: I am a registered nurse, and I worked in burns and pediatric trauma before I had my own children. I work with and for my husband, Dr. Daniel Lensink, doing whatever is needed, which has allowed me to be home with my kids. My daughter is 18 now and my son is 20, attending college in Montana. LYNNANNE: While Maurene is beginning the “empty nester” stage of life, I’m far from an empty nester. My kids range in age from 15 down to 2. Prior to this, I was working in marketing as an independent contractor for companies ranging from attorney services firms to accountants. I’m a wife and mom to five very busy children. ENJOY: What’s the best part of your job? LYNNANNE: We impact people’s lives by our jewelry. We’ve made pieces for everything from brain cancer to cystic fibrosis, to the birth of a child, to the death of a child, to the death of a parent who wanted to give their children a piece to remember them. It goes beyond jewelry. When we develop a piece that’s specific to somebody’s need, such as cancer or some other charitable need, the profits from that piece benefit that charity. MAURENE: People have stories when they ask us to do something. I find that to be really fascinating, and I find it really cool to be part of somebody’s story. • www.thepaperboxshop.com

GIVING BACK

| BY CLAUDIA MOSBY

N O R C A L A I D S CYC L E R I D E S F O R A C AU S E ON THURSDAY, MAY 14, 125 RIDERS will gather at 7 am at Folsom Lake for the most important ride of their lives: a four-day, 330-mile odyssey by bicycle. Neither pro cyclists nor elite athletes, the goal of the NorCal AIDS Cycle endurance riders is fundraising rather than fame. Scott Lewis, president of the Shasta-Trinity-Tehama HIV Food Bank, initially became involved with the cycle because he saw it as a funding source for his 100-percent-volunteer-operated organization. “I decided to participate because we did not just want to be a recipient (of funding), “ he says. “We wanted to contribute to the ride itself.” NorCal AIDS Cycle supports organizations throughout Northern California that are working to end the HIV/AIDS pandemic and provide care to those living with and affected by the virus. Educating local communities that HIV/AIDS still persists is key. “It is important that everyone knows their (HIV) status and protects themselves,” says Lewis. While newer drugs are keeping infected people healthier longer, funding for services is an ongoing challenge for the 14 organizations in 12 Northern California counties that will receive proceeds from the ride. This month marks the ride’s 11th anniversary, and the fourth for Lewis. “Many people have heard about the AIDS Life Cycle ride that goes from San Francisco to Los Angeles,” he says. “Those dollars only stay in those two communities. The founders of NorCal AIDS Cycle decided we needed a ride that would serve Northern California—the greater Sacramento area, the Sierra Foothills and the far North Valley.” Fundraising supports children’s services, as well. Sunburst Projects is a camp for kids affected by or infected with HIV and AIDS. “A child might go to camp who is not HIV positive, but who has a family member who has the virus,” says Lewis. “Or, they might be infected themselves and have family who are not.” Over the course of four days, riders traverse all kinds of terrain throughout the North Valley. Day one involves a 102-mile trek through Lincoln, Marysville and Gridley. On day two, another century ride follows Highway 70 into Oroville, Durham and Williams. With a goal of a mere 80 miles on day three, the route through the orchards to Highway 20 (toward Clear Lake and Napa) is more scenic, before riders take a 1,200-foot climb over the mountains and down into the Capay Valley. From there, feet are to the pedals toward Woodland for the night. The final 50-mile leg of the trip cuts through Winters and Davis to the I-80 causeway and through West Sacramento, where fatigued riders assemble 94 | ENJOY MAY 2015

at Crocker Park for a full crew ride to the West Capitol steps at noon. Although riders vary by age and body type, preparation is key. “We ran 16 training weekends in preparation for this year’s ride,” says Lewis. “Four are Benchmark Rides, kind of a ‘dress rehearsal’ for the longer ride, and they run 40-60 miles each. One of the four is a century ride (100 miles), which takes 8-10 hours.” NorCal AIDS Cycle is working to increase ridership among people ages 16-25, but Lewis notes some challenges. “This time of year is tough for us because schools are going into finals and the end of the school year,” he says. Forward momentum is evident, however; recently a Sacramento high school contacted Lewis about putting together a team. He hopes a grant the event received last year will help draw younger riders who need financial assistance. “We can help by supplying them with a bicycle and gear,” he adds. Riders pack for all kinds of weather, from hail to 100-plus-degree temperatures, from severe headwinds to dust storms. A crew of 65, including vehicle, medical and massage support, travel with riders for the duration. “This is not a gay issue, but a public health issue,” Lewis emphasizes. “People have forgotten about HIV/AIDS because we have such effective medications. Those infected can now actually live a healthy, active lifestyle and not be sick. But the infection does not go away.” • (530) 524-8798 • www.norcalaidscycle.org NorCal AIDS Cycle 2015 Beneficiaries: Cares Community Health • Caring Choices • Gender Health Center • Golden Rule Services • Harm Reduction Services • Nevada County Public Health Department HIV/ HCV Rapid Testing Program • River City Food Bank • Sacramento LGBT Community Center • SANE (Safer Alternatives thru Networking and Education) • Shasta-Trinity-Tehama HIV Food Bank • Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation • Sierra Hope (Health Opportunities, Programs and Education) • Strategies For Change • Sunburst Projects • Volunteers of America (Northern California and Northern Nevada) • Women’s Health Specialists
