AMERICAN DREAM

REYNOLDS RANCH & FARM SUPPLY IS A ONE-STOP SHOP AND HAS ANYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED FOR COUNTRY-STYLE LIVING

Reynolds Ranch & Farm Supply Red Bluff Sporting Goods

Cornerstone Community Bank is the realization of dreams – from buying a first home to helping a Red Bluff couple meet the needs of farmers and ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts and western wear boutique shoppers. Locally owned and funded, we are honored to share in building our clients’ legacies. In 1989, Paul and Kit Reynolds purchased and modernized Reynolds Ranch & Farm Supply. Two years later, in 1991, they responded to the need for quality western wear and opened The Loft. Fifteen years later, Red Bluff Sporting Goods was established to improve services to the many local anglers and hunters. Your own American dreams make our community strong.

Some of the instructors I had at Shasta College remain among the finest professors I ever had, including my time at Cal Poly and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The material taught was true “college caliber,” and I feel very lucky to have been taught by people like George Kutras (History), and Jim Gilbertie (Economics). Most especially by Lee Leonard (English Composition) who probably should have been teaching at Cambridge or Oxford. I remember (and use!) material from his class daily. I greatly value the time I spent at Shasta College, and have no fewer than 13 fellow Shasta College alumni working at Nichols, Melburg, & Rossetto Architects, out of a total staff of 72. Although we all went on to get our Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees elsewhere, we all fondly remember our time at Shasta College. It is where we started our educational path.

Summer’s promise is upon us, with sunshine-soaked days and warm, starry nights. Floating on the lake, sinking your teeth into a tender slice of watermelon, squeezing your own fresh lemonade—some say this is the sweetest time of the year. The final school bell is poised to ring soon, but when the inevitable refrains of “I’m bored” echo through your home, don’t panic—we’ve assembled a diverse list of activities and destinations to keep kids engaged over the summer. We’ll also share stories from some big-hearted youth who devote their time to making our community a brighter place through volunteering. Where can you fit in? A penny saved is… not a whole lot, but put hundreds of thousands of them together, and you’ve got a pretty impressive donation. The late Alvin Ehrhardt started collecting pennies a decade ago, and the “Al’s Pennies” effort continues today, much to the delight of the benefiting charity. And speaking of selflessness, we’ll tell you more about the Hammond Ranch Fire Station, where heroes-in-training learn the art of firefighting. In honor of Father’s Day, pull Dad away from the barbecue and the lawn tools and take him on an adventure. The Pioneer Bridge in Siskiyou County is an idyllic destination for a picnic or some amateur photography, or a jaunt to downtown Red Bluff will reward you with specialty shops and great places to eat. If your special guy enjoys outdoor adventures, take advantage of a free ranger-led kayaking tour on Whiskeytown Lake, or plan a camping trip to Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort, where the scenery is breathtaking and the activities are plentiful. Stretch the celebration out even further by making a weekly date at the Summer Serenade Concert Series, the Market Street Faire or Enjoy Movies in the Park. Don’t forget to stop by Enjoy the Store in Redding or Red Bluff and pick up a gift crate filled with treats individually selected for the delightful dad or the new graduate in your life. We’ll even wrap it for you! Happy Father’s Day, and enjoy!

It’s Grilling Season! Green Mountain Pellet Grills

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.

MAIN STREET

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS

Down Home Vibe T H E CO M M U N I T Y F E E L O F D O W N TO W N R E D B L U F F THERE’S NOTHING “BIG CITY” about Red Bluff ’s downtown, and that suits Sage Mitchell just fine. “It’s just kind of nice,” he says. “I enjoy the homey feel.” A music teacher at Sky River Music on Main Street, Mitchell has called Red Bluff home for the past 14 years. That down-home vibe is a key feature of downtown, says Dave Gowan, the top man at the Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce. Pausing to catch his breath after a week’s worth of Red Bluff Round-Up events, Gowan appraises the scene: “It has that unique downtown feeling you remember growing up with. It’s Main Street, USA, with the specialty shops, food you can eat, shops where you can buy knickknacks. We have people coming in all the time, looking for places to go, eat and shop and we’re able to point ’em downtown for most of that.” Red Bluff ’s downtown does have a picture-perfect feel to it, and that’s not by accident. “We’re always working on improving and sprucing up downtown,” Gowan says. “Working on planters, the frontages, the signage … folks are doing a great job of branding themselves, and in the process they’re creating a stronger brand for downtown.” As a member of the Red Bluff Downtown Business Association and the chair of that group’s beautification committee, Sandra Jansen appreciates the work that goes into making the downtown so inviting. “I love being downtown and in business,” says the owner of Ragz 2 Rich’s, an upscale resale boutique on the well-traveled 600 block of Main Street. “I love the relationships. This is still a small, caring township. People will stop and help an elderly person if they fall.”4

“OUR PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY,” SAYS KATE. “WE BELIEVE DOWNTOWNS ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE COMMUNITY.”

That caring attitude is just one of the traits that motivated Kate and Brandon Grissom to invest in downtown Red Bluff. Their Enjoy the Store celebrated its second anniversary in April. The Grissoms launched their venture with the goal of advancing Red Bluff ’s renaissance. “Our purpose is to support the community,” says Kate. “We believe downtowns are the heart and soul of the community.” The downtown business owners have formed a community of their own and they meet monthly over coffee to share ideas and customer feedback. Not long ago, the owners figured out that a lot of customers were looking for shoes, “so we decided to start a shoe store,” she says. Rather than open a brick-and-mortar business, the group decided that each boutique would carry a shoe line. “It’s fun. We manifested it—we built a shoe store.” That kind of cooperation helps strengthen the sense of community and makes shopping downtown that much more

enjoyable, says Red Bluff resident Brin Greer, who serves as the watershed coordinator for the Tehama County Resource Conservation District. “They’re really striving to create a sense of place,” Greer says. “Downtown is just structures, but what makes the downtown is the people.” That fellowship is evident during the holidays when the historic downtown district comes to life. “I can get all of my Christmas shopping done downtown; it has a really spirited vibe,” she says. Greer also likes how merchants continue to develop events to keep downtown hopping. In addition to the Christmas parade, Greer looks forward to other downtown events like the Wednesday night markets in the summer that combine a farmers market with a street fair and art walk, the chili cook-off that’s part of Red Bluff Round-Up week, Beef and Brew, and the Wild & Scenic Film Festival. 4

continued on page 24

The events are always fun, but longtime Red Bluff resident Louetta Bullington takes an equal amount of pleasure in the sights and sounds the downtown area has to offer. From certain vantage points, visitors can see Lassen Peak, Mt. Shasta and the Coast Range, and the cool waters of the Sacramento River are always near by. Bullington also enjoys Red Bluff ’s rows of Victorian homes that quietly hold court just a block off of Main Street. “They’re awesome. They have a lot of character. You can just feel it, looking up at the balconies and imagining the ladies all dressed up.” All dressed up is an apt description of the Cone-Kimball clock tower, which stands as the symbolic heart of Red Bluff. Erected in 1886 by businessmen Joseph Cone and Gordham Kimball to add stature to their general store, the tower stood until 1984 when it was lost to a fire.

A wide-ranging community drive, led by the Red Bluff Rotary Foundation and the Downtown Red Bluff Business Association, led to the rebuilding of the 75-foottall tower and it was dedicated in 2008. Red Bluff ’s roots date back to 1843 when Peter Lassen and two other pioneers visited the area in pursuit of horse thieves. By 1853, the community was a vibrant commercial hub for the northern portion of the Sacramento Valley and the head of navigation on the Sacramento River. • www.redbluffchamber.com

DA D S W H O C OAC H WHEN LISTING THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE in their lives, many people who have ever played sports will include someone they once called “Coach.” A lucky few are also able to call that person “Dad.” These youngsters on baseball diamonds, soccer fields, gridirons and basketball courts throughout the North State have extra thanks to bestow upon these coaches as Father’s Day approaches. But for these guys, the opportunity to have a strong, positive influence on their children’s lives is a gift in itself. Charley Hawkins has coached his three daughters in softball – Natasha graduated from San Jose State University on a full-ride athletic scholarship, Cheridan (also on scholarship) is making a national name for herself at the University of Oregon, and Charli is an eighth-grader at Pacheco. He also coached niece Chelsey, who earned a scholarship to the University of California at Riverside. “I just wanted to be involved with my kids,” says Hawkins,

an Anderson High School alum whose kids also attended Anderson. “Once you have kids and they get to the age where you can start doing stuff with them, your life stops and you start working through your kids, to get them going in the direction they need to be going.” He thrives on seeing his girls overcome adversity. “When things are tough, I want to see how they’re going to react to it,” he says. “It’s pretty rewarding when they fight their way through it and get over it and move on. Seeing kids grow and get better is awesome.” Now that he’s no longer Cheridan’s official coach, he gets so nervous that he can’t stand still when he and wife Natalie go watch the left-handed pitcher’s games at the University of Oregon. “I probably put on 20 miles at those games,” says Hawkins, a part-time UPS employee who owns a painting company. “I’ve got like seven different places I watch the game from, my good luck spots – if she’s striking ’em out, I stay there. If not, I’m moving.” 4 continued on page 28 JUNE 2015 ENJOY | 27

Another guy who spends a lot of time on the diamond is Kacy McClung, who coaches Chase (12), Ava (9) and Nate (7) in soccer, baseball and basketball. There’s not a month of the year that the kindergarten teacher doesn’t coach something. “I love coaching my kids,” McClung says. “I might push a little hard and I have super high expectations for my kids. To me, they should know the rules and exactly what’s going on because we talk about it and think about it all the time. It’s hard to see them fail in certain ways, but I’m not afraid to put them in that situation – that’s what helped me growing up.” Wife Kim is “the calendar keeper, the team mom for every single thing we do, the person who gets them there, the one to tell me where I need to be – if she doesn’t keep it organized, I’m done,” he says. As the couple watches Chase and Nate play wiffle ball in the yard, McClung says, “I love the smiles on their faces. We love watching them play.” Though he’s tickled by little ones’ dreams of wearing a Major League Baseball jersey, he aims to instill the sheer joy of playing. “The odds of anyone playing Division 1 are almost nil in Redding,” says McClung, a Redding native and Shasta High School graduate. “They’ve got to enjoy it. It’s about gaining life experience and loving the moment. It’s a big stepping stone to life.” Greg Wilkes coached varsity football while working as a police officer in San Jose, and now coaches sons Zach (11), Kyle (9) and Nicholas (7) in flag football. He also helps with baseball and basketball. “It’s a way to spend time with the kids in a positive way, and to instill in them a good work ethic and teamwork,” says Wilkes, who played football at San Francisco State University. “I want to be involved in their development. You can’t put a price on seeing them learn and get better.” Time at the field is family time for Wilkes and his wife, Kim, and the teams become extended family. “Being at the ballpark is date night for us,” he says with a laugh. Wilkes says he’s toughest on his own kids and it’s a challenge to maintain a boundary between coaching and parenting. “There’s a line between teaching, coaching and being a parent,” he says. “I’m passionate about developing these athletes. Sports kept me in school and helped me focus. I’ve coached hundreds of kids, and you hope it’s had a positive influence and created good memories.” Hawkins agrees, and the efforts have paid off for his daughters and niece. “At the end of the day, I have a tough exterior, but I love these kids a lot,” he says. And when McClung’s children grow up and talk about their favorite coach one day, he says, “I hope they tell their kids that we had lots of fun.” •

GOOD TIMES

Quite the Pickle PICKING UP THE GAME OF PICKLEBALL ANYONE CAN PLAY. Mature people, young people, limited mobility and full-on aggressive athletes find that pickleball packs in fun for everyone. Proclaimed by many as the fastest growing sport in the United States, North State pickleball players can find games in communities from Chico to Mount Shasta, Arcata to Redding. The USA Pickleball Association has clubs throughout the United States, but many grassroots groups seem to find each other at RV parks, schools, community parks, athletic clubs and fitness centers. The sport that originated in Washington 50 years ago has gained national attention in recent years. Competitive tournaments with official guidelines from the International Pickleball Federation and memberships in local, regional, national and world organizations have highlighted the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing popularity. Played on a badminton-sized court with a low net, equipment consists of a plastic wifflelike ball about the size of a tennis ball and a

short-handled paddle very much like a ping pong paddle. It incorporates basics from tennis, badminton and ping pong. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sport designed for all ages and abilities, according to the United States Pickleball Association. Schools, too, have begun to recognize the sport. A few North State high schools and middle schools have added courts and incorporate pickleball units into their physical education programs. Karin Fitzhugh, physical education teacher at Enterprise High School in Redding, works with local community players who mentor freshmen in a three-week pickleball course. Fitzhugh and her husband began playing in the 1980s while attending Chico State University. She frequently joins the players at Enterprise Park. Snow birds and others who travel regularly by RV now pack their paddles so they can join organized games at many parks throughout the nation. Alan Gugin of Redding has been playing for about eight years. He first discovered the sport at an RV park in Arizona4

Pickleball has a very interesting name, especially since no pickles are used. Accounts of how the name originated differ. According to Joel Pritchard’s wife, Joan, she started calling the game pickleball because “the combination of different sports reminded me of the pickle boat in crew where oarsmen were chosen from the leftovers of other boats”. However, according to Barney McCallum, the game was officially named after the Pritchards’ dog who would chase the ball and run off with it. According to McCallum, “The Pritchards had a dog named Pickles, and you’re having fun at a party, right? So anyway… let’s just call it pickleball.” Others claim both accounts may actually be true. In the early years, no official name was assigned to the game. However, a year or two after the game was invented, the Pritchards purchased a cocker spaniel and named it Pickles. As the game progressed, an official name was needed and “pickleball” was it. www.usapa.org/history-of-the-game

where everyone seemed to be playing. His wife Trudy plays, too, and occasionally his son, a seasonal wildlands firefighter, joins them on the court. Gugin, 65, says it is a very inclusive sport. In a tournament played in Seaside, Ore., he and his 45-year-old partner played against an 83-year-old woman and her slightly younger partner, who won the game. On a recent Saturday morning at Enterprise Park in Redding, with five of the six courts in use, some wild balls zinged into neighboring courts greeted by encouraging comments. A few courts away, Ron Johnson, a local elementary school teacher, played doubles with three mature gentlemen in a fairly aggressive game. Johnson has 30 years of racquet sports experience, adding pickleball within the past two years. Last year, he placed seventh in the nation in open-level play. Mike Archibald, one of the group’s organizers, sets up and greets players. He and the others make it a point to welcome newcomers and introduce them to the basics. He has extra paddles on hand for visitors to use. The loosely knit group is not a club; there are no dues, Archibald says. But they have accumulated nets and other equipment and maintain a website with information, locations and times of play and a calendar of events.

Dick Mills, 83, played tennis for 40-plus years before he discovered action on the smaller pickleball court. “You can play with younger folks and beat them,” he said with a smile. Briana Smalling, 29, who has suffered several sports-related injuries, has competed in two pickleball tournaments in Mount Shasta. She finds the shorter paddle, lighter ball and abbreviated strokes much easier on her body than the years of competitive tennis she played throughout high school and college. She enjoys the interaction among players and good-natured camaraderie. Bob Shaw and his wife Marie started playing in 2012. At the time, their small group consisted of four enthusiastic and welcoming players at South Park in Redding. The Shaws now play four or five times a week at Enterprise Park. Out of growing need and convenience for the burgeoning group, Shaw started a small online business selling paddles, balls and other related items. He also brings samples for players to try out whenever he plays at Enterprise Park. “I am passionate about pickleball, and I believe it is about to become a national pastime,” he says. • www.pickleballredding.com

Or, in the case of Lorna Gunsauls, the perfect name for her new business and impeccably restored historical building in downtown Red Bluff, The Prescott. “I'm kind of obsessed with the generation that came to America,” Gunsauls says of her decade-long dive into her family's history. Along the way, she came across Prescott Bigelow, the husband of a third cousin. “He fell in love with us and we fell in love with him,” she says of the bonds that have formed since reaching out to meet. When it came time to rename her building at 905 Rio Street, she and her husband, Mike, a helicopter pilot, kept bandying names. “They just kept sounding like Las Vegas casinos,” she says with a laugh. Saying “The Prescott,” however, just seemed to work. They called up their relative in Cincinnati to receive his blessing. While the naming process was by no means easy, it was far from the most difficult aspect of the development of The Prescott.4

STORY AND PHOTOS BY PAUL BOERGER

N E W 2 YO U I S A T H R I F T S TO R E W I T H A P U R P O S E MOUNT SHASTA RESIDENT SANDY PATTERSON founded the non-profit New2You thrift store three years ago and promised it would be more than a place for bargains on used goods. Patterson dreamed of putting back the excess money from the store to worthy causes, and in three years, the small storefront has given out $89,000 to three community organizations. “The money went to the senior Meals on Wheels program that brings food to senior shut-ins, Mercy Hospice and the Jefferson Economic Development Institute ( JEDI) that offers low-cost and free business education and assistance,” Patterson says. “We donated to the people who really needed help. Non-profits like us usually help only one issue.” Patterson said the three recipients were more than worthy of assistance. “JEDI helped me out setting up our non-profit 501(c)3 status. JEDI used the money for the business start-up savings program, where the client saves two-thirds and JEDI provides the other third,” Patterson says. “Meals on Wheels really needed help. They were being cut. We

helped get them into the black. They were able to hire another driver.” The Mercy Hospice donation was much more than a friendly donation. “Hospice was a wonderful help for my son who passed away. They were incredible,” Patterson says. “The money went for equipment and caregivers so someone would not die alone.” Patterson is no stranger to thrift stores that are dedicated to helping the community. She was instrumental in starting the Siskiyou Humane Society Paws and Shop thrift store 14 years ago and then the Spay Neuter Incentive Program, or SNIP, thrift store in Mount Shasta that offers free spay and neutering for dogs and cats. “I worked for nothing,” Patterson says. “I figured with the animals taken care of, I wanted to help people. The economy had gone down and we wanted to give people reasonably priced goods and help the community.” New2You also has a program that assists the homeless. It started with a jar on the counter into which patrons could drop money.4 continued on page 40

JUNE 2015 ENJOY | 39

“We offer the homeless an opportunity for a shower at the store or the local campground and clean clothes for work at the store,” Patterson says. “They don’t get something for nothing. It makes them feel like they are worth something.” Work includes straightening up the store, shoveling snow, raking, washing windows and pruning trees. She said a homeless man stayed overnight in the parking lot to guard the weekend rummage sale items that were left outside. “They do an incredible job. They care about the place,” Patterson says. “It’s wonderful to get the help. They are so grateful to be clean.” Patterson noted that several homeless people became volunteers at the store. One went on to get work and an apartment, and another went on to attend College of the Siskiyous. Patterson says the volunteers who assist New2You are the “store’s heart.” Some of the volunteers have been with her for 14 years, since the Humane Society. “We wouldn’t be here without them,” Patterson says. “We can always use more volunteers.” Patterson shows her gratitude for the volunteers with a special thanks each month. “Every month, each volunteer gets $20 and we all go out as a group to an activity or a restaurant. It shows our appreciation for our volunteers and supports local businesses,” Patterson says. Sales at the store include half-off books on Tuesday,

STRESS EATING WHY DO YOU EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT? Dr. Ray Powell, MD

You do not make time for yourself in YOUR busy day to eat. When that happens because of that stress, whether the stress is a particular person or a situation. If you can pinpoint what has become a problem for you and you can contribute even some of your weight gain or no weight loss to that stress you need to take charge and eat through the stress. It really doesn’t have to be a big battle. You just have to have a plan with food and the food/ nutrition needs to be quick, convenient, portable, single serving, high quality, and taste great. The beginning of my concept for “CarbEssentials” was born.

LAKE LIFE L A K E S I S K I YO U C A M P R E S O R T BY DAY, GUESTS SPLASH away in the cool waters of Lake Siskiyou under a backdrop of Mount Shasta so majestic that it looks like it couldn’t possibly be real. By night, they enjoy ice cream cones while watching movies under the stars. This little patch of heaven is Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort, an unpretentious retreat where families frolic and worries seem to melt away. Managers Yvette and Bob Tuggle are in the midst of their eighth season at the resort, after moving here from Salinas/Monterey KOA, also part of Reynolds Resorts.

“We started climbing the hill, and I was like, ‘Oh my stars, this might be the place,’” Yvette Tuggle says. Many North State residents flock there because it’s a quick drive, while others use it as a central meeting spot between the Bay Area and Oregon. Some 90,000 people visit each year (about 6,000 over Independence Day alone), and they’re booking into 2018. “We’re like our own little island,” Tuggle says of the facility, situated in the shadow of Douglas Firs, pines and cedar trees. “We offer so much for them to keep themselves busy and to enjoy the nature that we’ve got to offer.”4 continued on page 44

Accommodations include about 250 tent sites, 200 RV sites with hookups and 42 lodging units, which range from one large room to three-bedroom cabins. The rustic cabins have kitchens, bathrooms and decks with lake access. An outdoor amphitheater next to the general store hosts movies every night. Other amenities include a playground, arcade and volleyball court. The Splash Zone includes an array of floating toys and obstacles, including “Rock It,” a floating, climbable rock. This year, they’re adding a 40-by-60-foot challenge course on the water. Paddle boats, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available for rent on the beach, and fishing and patio boats can be rented at the marina. A seven-mile trail circumnavigates the 430-acre lake. The resort hosts a Beach Blast event on the Saturday after July 4, with watermelon-eating contests, sack races and “whatever kind of craziness we can come up with,” Tuggle says. “It’s quite, quite fun watching the kids devour those watermelons. We order all kinds of crazy trophies and giveaways, and they get to be a hero for the day.” Shoppers can pick up groceries, local craft beers and wines, ice cream, sandwiches and souvenirs (fishing lure earrings, anyone?) at the General Store.4 continued on page 46

Fishing is allowed (licenses are required). “The lake is constantly being fed new fish by the fish hatchery down the street,” Tuggle says. “There’s bass, trout – even some catfish.” Full-service dining is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day at Lake Sis Grille and Brew (be sure to say “hi” to the talking tree inside). A snack shack takes care of mid-day cravings on the beach. For those who don’t wish to spend the night, day passes are $1 for everyone over age 5. “It’s a really cheap way to come out and have a gorgeous view and spend the day,” Tuggle says. “It’s an incredibly gorgeous place, and it’s always 10-15 degrees cooler here in the summertime than it is in Redding. It’s such a pleasure when you start climbing back up the hill, you can feel the air cooling off.” All of the amenities are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, “depending on the water temperature – if I can get my water toys in without giving my employees blue fingers and toes,” Tuggle says. And the Tuggles are tickled to play an integral role in some sweet family traditions. “It’s a wonderful thing to have people call to make their reservations and tell me why they have to have that particular site on that particular day – it’s their anniversary, or their husband proposed to them there. It’s wonderful memories for the people to come in and tell us about,” she says. “Then we get the new families who come in and start their new family traditions. •

O T L L A C H A M M O N D R A N C H F I R E C O M PA N Y I N S I S K I Y O U C O U N T Y LITTLE BOYS DREAM of being policemen and firemen. Dave Jenkins marvels at his opportunity to be both. “I grew up in a family where red lights and sirens are in our DNA,” Jenkins says. A 32-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department, his move to Siskiyou County in 2004 brought him the experience of joining the Hammond Ranch Fire Department and becoming a firefighter as well as a mentor to a new generation of public servants. The Hammond Ranch Fire Station rests among the rolling hills on a back road of south Siskiyou County. The idyllic scene of pine trees and meandering deer stand in contrast to the sound of sirens and the roar of red engines coming to life. “There are two types of volunteers at our station: Those from the community who serve here to give back, and students from the College of Siskiyous looking to make firefighting their career,” Jenkins says. Two years after joining the department, Jenkins is fire chief. This distinction is more than one of serving on fires, it is as a coach and teacher preparing students for their

future. “Our crew has six sleepers, who live at the station,” Jenkins says. “These are all students in the fire science, paramedic and EMT programs at the nearby college. Each sleeper has a tenure of two years after which they will be fully trained and able to serve in Anytown, USA.” Every sleeper goes through an intensive interview before serving here. The program gives them the tools to embrace firefighting as a career, developing their character, work ethic and ability to get along with others, all while living together in a cramped space. “I ask each firefighter being interviewed what their Plan B is if firefighting doesn’t work out,” Jenkins says. “I don’t want them to have an alternative plan. Firefighters need to see that failure is not an option.” The chief ’s job is like a football coach. The first year is like having junior varsity players, working to their varsity year. The job market is tough, with city departments receiving up to 4,500 applicants for 30 jobs. Others find a career with Cal Fire, which begins as seasonal work,4

opening up after a few seasons to full-time employment. The Hammond Ranch Department has a 98 percent success rate in trainees finding a career path. The job of firefighter is diverse. For the Hammond Ranch Company, 70 percent of calls are medical. Each person is a trained first responder in medical procedures. Many calls are car accidents on the Interstate 5 corridor, with a share of big rig fires and rollovers. “We meet people in their darkest hours,” Jenkins says. “People are vulnerable and we need to know how to show compassion.” Rural firefighting has challenges. There are no fire hydrants, so trucks carry 4,000 gallons of water. Each department in the county provides mutual assistance to others, bringing a high level of teamwork and camaraderie among the firefighters. Each time the radio squelches and the tone of a call reverberates throughout the building, some challenge is waiting minutes away. Each firefighter becomes a mechanic, a plumber and a critical thinker, as well as a medic. There is a team spirit among firefighters. Jenkins and his company never see themselves as solo performers. Together they serve their community. During the week they respond to homes where someone has fallen and just needs help getting up. During the winter, they shovel snow from roofs. They change light bulbs on poles in church parking lots. Recent flooding found them helping evacuate a local convalescent home. Jenkins sits at the dining table, in the kitchen where the sleepers prepare their meals, which they pay for themselves. A board covers the wall with patches from dozens of fire crews who share their passion. The chief thinks deeply about their mission. “Firefighters are so much more than people who fight fires,” Jenkins says. “Here are tomorrow’s citizens. I work with those who will be baseball coaches, Boy Scout leaders and Sunday school teachers. We are those who live a life of paying back to our community in so many ways.” •

“I ASK EACH FIREFIGHTER BEING INTERVIEWED WHAT THEIR PLAN B IS IF FIREFIGHTING DOESN’T WORK OUT,” JENKINS SAYS. “I DON’T WANT THEM TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN. FIREFIGHTERS NEED TO SEE THAT FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.”

Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt. Shasta, 20 years ago returning from the San Diego area with his wife Monica. Together they raise their three boys and manage the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, Gary is also an adjunct professor for Simpson University.

WILD KINGDOM T H E S E Q U O I A PA R K Z O O WHEN YOU THINK of the coastal redwood parks, you probably think of their very large, old growth trees. But on the northern edge of Eureka’s Sequoia Park, you’ll also find California’s oldest zoo. And a $5.75 ticket (for adults) gives entry not just to California’s most historic, but also perhaps its most unique zoo. Sequoia Park Zoo celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2007, and zoo manager Gretchen Ziegler believes its long history is especially cool, “since we’re out in the boonies up here.”

But let this history be a fun, cautionary tale to anyone who enjoys feeding deer – the long run could lead to an accredited zoo. According to Ziegler, that’s just how Sequoia Park Zoo got started. “The mythology is that it began by feeding either deer or elk that were here, and a pen grew around them, and then, all of a sudden, oh, hey, it’s a zoo.” Officially, Sequoia Park Zoo was “founded” a year after Eureka purchased 67 acres from logging companies to form Sequoia Park. The zoo grew as animals were obtained “opportunistically,” which is one way to4

describe its unique acquisition of what was the zoo’s most popular attraction: Bill the Chimp. Bill was “pretty famous,” says Ziegler, “one of the oldest chimps that lived in captivity.” But his story is just as fascinating as his long-lived age. “He was wild-caught in Africa, performed in a circus in Europe and in front of the queen of England,” says Ziegler. And when happened to travel through Eureka in the 1950s, “local kids donated their pennies to purchase him from a traveling circus.” Bill’s death in 2007 was a big deal in the community, says Ziegler, but it also coincided with a sea change within the zoo’s narrative. “The chimpanzee exhibit was not up to par, not up to standards,” says Ziegler, and in 2006 the zoo had adopted a master plan to identify animal species most appropriate for its size. “We wanted to be really specific about telling stories about nature,” explains Ziegler. “Zoos in the past used to arrange animals in a haphazard manner – chimpanzees next to black bears next to gibbons next to prairie dogs, you know?” Sequoia Park Zoo didn’t want a menagerie of animals. It wanted a cohesive presentation, purpose and preservation. So it focused on its strengths, as a small but intimate zoo, a zoo within the Sequoias. Sequoia Park Zoo has its gibbons, spider monkeys, peccaries and tropical species, but its latest exhibit focuses on its backyard neighbors. By creating exhibits that protect animals native to the coastal redwoods, the facility has created a kind of zoo within a zoo. Sequoia Park Zoo is one of the only zoos where its natural habitat surrounds its perimeters, with actual Redwood trees looming over its fences. In 2014, the zoo opened its Watershed Heroes exhibit, including a River Otter Habitat, Salmon Stream and Learning Lab. “It’s one of the best river otter exhibits I’ve ever seen at any zoo,” says Ziegler. “It’s got underwater viewing, a crawl-through acrylic tube so otters can swim around you when you’re in there.” In April, they introduced a bald eagle and spotted owl. But Ziegler’s favorite addition to the zoo is its latest animals – coyote, bobcat, black bear and fisher. “The predators are my favorite,” she says with a laugh. “They’re compelling.” More than compelling, she adds, “They’re relevant because this is in their backyard, neighborhood.” “This is a zoo like no other in the world,” says Ziegler. But the zoo doesn’t just want to include its native animals; it also wants to include the park itself. “The intent is to build a redwood canopy walk that goes out into the park, into the redwoods, and gets people elevated into the canopy levels,” explains Ziegler.4 continued on page 58

By constructing a sequence of suspended bridges, tree-to-tree, the zoo could offer a view of the redwoods that few national or state parks can offer. And that perspective, from above, would introduce guests to a world that, according to Ziegler, “no one knows about.” And just as these parks exist to preserve old growth redwoods, so the zoo exists to preserve its animals. “While (our guests) are having a great time, we slip in conservation messaging, and that’s really our main goal.” These animals, Ziegler adds, are “ambassadors to share their stories.” Ziegler wants the zoo to be a community resource. “We’re also the only zoo in a pretty wide area, so we try to make this a fun, peaceful place.” Over the last decade, Sequoia Park Zoo has come a long way from a few makeshift pens around some hungry deer. Now Ziegler is hardly surprised when people tell her it’s the most beautiful zoo they’ve ever seen. And small as it might be, Sequoia Park Zoo isn’t done growing yet, because much like the redwoods that surround it, sky’s the limit. • Sequoiaparkzoo.net • (707) 441-4263 Summer Hours (memorial day – labor day) 7 days a week, 10am-5pm Ticket prices: Adult: $5.75; Children (3-12): $3.75; Under 3: Free

BEAUTY TRENDS

BY MELISSA GULDEN

Travel Light Ready, Jet Set, Go! B E A U T Y F O R W E E K E N D G E TAWAY S NOW THAT IT’S SUMMER, many of us are dashing off to weekend getaways and sunny destinations. Nothing is more inconvenient than lugging around a bulky skin care system and a bag cluttered with makeup. Whether it’s makeup, sunscreen or moisturizers, great things are coming in small packages. Breeze through TSA with these pro packing tips. And if the mere thought of packing causes you anxiety, just remember—more than likely

there will be a drugstore once you get there. I’m a huge fan of beauty products that multi-task, and less is more when it comes to the latest beauty trends. No need to bring more than one lipcolor for a weekend retreat. In fact, a tinted balm with SPF will do just fine poolside. And since you’ll be sporting a more relaxed look overall, simply swipe on a nude lip for evenings and you’re good to go. Take advantage of “convertible” products4 continued on page 62

that work on lips and cheeks, such as Stila or Nars. Throw in a bronzing powder, lash curler, some waterproof mascara and makeup wipes and you’re good to go. Traveling with friends? No need for each of you to bring a hair dryer, straightener or curling iron; sharing tools saves precious space. And many of these items now come in mini versions, so they take up even less room. Sephora, Sally Beauty and even drug stores carry travelfriendly styling tools. Buy easy-to-find staples like shampoo when you arrive, and travel with only a handful of your favorite styling items that you can decant into TSA-approved containers. Getting a haircut one to two weeks before a trip also means you have time to streamline your styling routine and take fewer items with you. And consider your destination. Humidity? Why bother straightening hair at all? Throw into a topknot or even embrace those God-given waves. For skin, MAC Fix+ is a skin refresher with a light scent, perfect during a flight (travel size, $10). And be sure to drink plenty of water, as the air in planes is notoriously dry. Fresh Lotus Eye Gel is great for taming puffiness and dark circles ($48, fresh.com). Always use a daily moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30, such as L’Oreal Paris Advanced Suncare Silky Sheer BB Face Lotion ($9.99). Many cosmetics contain SPF these days, even foundations and powders; however, for vacation

destinations where you’ll be mostly outside and in water, be sure to use a waterproof sport-type sunblock that contains both a physical block (which forms a barrier) and chemicals to absorb harmful UV rays. Some favorite SPFs include: Neutrogena Beach Defense Stick Sunscreen SPF 50+ ($9.99); Supergoop Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil SPF 50 ($26, Sephora); Alterna Haircare Bamboo Beach Summer Spray ($20, Ulta). This will protect your hair from harmful UV rays and keep your color from fading. And remember: It takes about a teaspoonful of sunscreen for the face and a shot-glass size application to sufficiently coat the body for full sun protection. Take advantage of Sephora’s policy of providing three free samples with any online order—you can save the airport-friendly containers for later use. Cosmetics gifts with purchase often come with smaller sized versions of your favorite products, so you can keep your toiletries bag stocked at all times. No need to fret when it comes to jetsetting. Spend your precious vacation time enjoying the sights and making memories, and you won’t even have time to think about your beauty routine. • Melissa Gulden is a teacher with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

es l d d a P in the Water GOOD TIMES

BY SUE RALSTON

R A N G E R - L E D K AYA K TO U R S O N W H I S K E Y TO W N L A K E

WHAT BETTER WAY TO COOL DOWN on a hot summer day than to get out on the water? If you’re looking for a fun and accessible outdoor activity, try kayaking on the cool blue waters of Whiskeytown Lake. Free ranger-led tours, running daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, make it easy for beginners to try it out. “We love it when people come out and they’re just testing the waters, so to speak, to see if they want to get into the sport and maybe purchase a kayak,” says Jeff Gerbic, a park ranger specializing in interpretation and education.

With the help of skilled volunteers, rangers share tips about safety and teach proper techniques, including getting into and out of the kayak, paddling and getting around on the lake. Single and tandem kayaks are available, and all are the sit-on-top kind. But it’s not just about gliding over the water. Kayakers learn about the natural and cultural history of the area. Rangers assess each group’s interest and might share information about the Wintu people, the Gold Rush era and the Central Valley Project. With California in its fourth year of drought, people are often especially4

testing the waters

Whiskeytown is home to an abundant variety of wildlife, and rangers enjoy sharing their knowledge on the tours. Kayakers may encounter osprey migrating back and forth and from Central America. Bald eagles, ravens, vultures and a range of waterfowl are often seen, too. According to Park Superintendent Jim Milestone, kayak tours began in 2002 and about 30,000 people have participated. The kayaks, storage shed and other equipment were made possible by the nonprofit group Friends of Whiskeytown, which fundraised and secured grants to purchase the needed equipment to get the program going. “Without the Friends, this program wouldn’t be happening,” says Gerbic. “It’s an amazing contribution they’ve made and we try to reinforce that to the public.” Summer also brings the opportunity to go on moonlight tours. Participants experience the sunset and the unique beauty of the lake

interested in learning about water sources: Where does it come from? Where does it go? “You’re not just out here having fun. My job as a park ranger is not only to help people get interested in this place, but also to encourage folks to care for it,” says Gerbic. And though the daily kayak tours are open to adults and children ages 6 and up (with a supervising adult), several summer programs are designed especially for children. On Mondays at 1:30 pm, there’s a program for three- to six-year-olds with a parent or guardian. “We make this a nice outing with treasure hunts and lots of fun,” says Gerbic. On Thursdays at 1:30 pm, children ages 7-12 are the focus. “For this age group, it’s a little more curriculum-based, touching on natural history and wildlife.” It’s a great way to get kids active and interested in the outdoors, he notes.

by full moon. Check the website for dates, and keep in mind that the moonlight tours fill up fast. On June 6, rangers will offer a kayak refresher course aimed at those who want to become volunteer helpers with the tours. Volunteers need not be experts, but must be fit, familiar with the basics and confident about enforcing safety and helping rangers shepherd the group. • Ranger-led tours are free; park entry fees apply. Tours run every day of the week at 9:30 am and 5:30 pm. Kayaks and all equipment are provided free. Call (530) 242-3462 for reservations. www.nps.gov/whis/planyourvisit/rangerprograms.htm Tours depart from Brandy Creek Beach near the kayak shed. To Brandy Creek Beach: From Redding, travel west on Highway 299 toward Weaverville, about 10 miles. Turn left at the Visitor Center sign and the Kennedy Memorial. Continue 5 miles and follow signs to the Brandy Creek swim beach. To learn about becoming a volunteer, call the volunteer coordinator at (530) 242-3421.

JEFFREY VARGA, 10, MAKES A DIFFERENCE by making music. Twice a month, he plays classical pieces on the piano for residents at River Oaks Retirement Center in Redding. “I like giving them something to listen to,” Jeffrey says. “I really look forward to going.” Geneva, his 12-year-old sister, helps turtles. One of her efforts was making posters warning of the danger in releasing pet turtles because they can overtake the North State’s western pond turtles. “I’ve always wanted to help them out,” Geneva says. Youth volunteerism is more than high school students scrambling for community service hours to put on college applications. Young people of many ages can pitch in—and in many ways. The benefits are big. When teens, tweens and younger children give, they get. Volunteers gain pride and, often, a new perspective.

“I feel our society is becoming increasingly disconnected… Everybody has a device in front of their face,” says Eva Varga, Geneva and Jeffrey’s mom. Helping others, she says, “ensures our children understand the world is not just what is on our devices. It is much grander than that.” Varga leads Shasta Roots & Shoots, part of primatologist Jane Goodall’s global effort to promote care and concern for animals and community. In the Redding area, the volunteer group has recycled discarded fishing line near the Sacramento River and built nesting boxes for Mason bees—important pollinators. Parents participate with children. “Our ages range from toddlers all the way up to middle-school age,” Varga says.4 continued on page 70

Haven Humane Society in Redding encourages young volunteers through Junior Haven for ages 10 and older. Members decorate kennels, help with events and tackle other projects at the animal shelter. Haven’s animal trainer brings a shelter dog to monthly meetings to share insights on animal behavior. “It gets them involved with the animals so they understand and care about what Haven does,” says Wendell Enders, volunteer coordinator.

Older teens (at least 16) who go through training can participate in Haven’s dog walking program, Enders says. Younger youths can exercise shelter dogs with parents who complete the training. “We love it when families come,” says Stacy Steel, director of development. Volunteering as a family is the way for children to help at Good News Rescue Mission in Redding. “The best thing for families to do is serve in the kitchen,” says Janet Shields, volunteer coordinator.

Putting food on plates goes beyond doing something nice. It nurtures compassion. Children see that the homeless are people, too, Shields says. Turtle Bay Exploration Park’s Teen Volunteer program gives teens opportunities to share information with visitors, help with events, work in the gardens and assist with animals. Liz Crain, volunteer coordinator, says volunteering is a great way for kids to see “there’s a world out there that needs our support.” Turtle Bay encourages families to volunteer, too. The park participates in Family Volunteer Day, a national service effort, the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Shasta Public Libraries encourages teen involvement through the Teen Advisory Board. The group gives recommendations to library staff on books, programs and services. Participants also help with library activities. Redding’s trails and parks can be supported through Adopt-a-Park/ Adopt-a-Trail. The city prefers children be 10 and older, but younger children can participate with adult supervision. Families also can help on community cleanup events. And the city is open to specific projects pitched by groups and individuals, says Community Services Director Kim Niemer. Another way to tap into volunteer work is through organizations like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and church youth groups. “I think it is really empowering for kids to know that they can help,” says Peggy Rebol, director of ministry at First United Methodist Church in Redding.

At First United Methodist Church, young children make cards for shut-ins and sing at nursing homes. Middle and high school students have served food at the mission, assisted with the Whole Earth and Watershed Festival and helped a homeless community in Portland, Ore. A service trip to Nicaragua to is planned this summer. Payback comes in new connections and a broader understanding of the world. Rebol recalls taking youths to Mexico several years ago. The group went in thinking, “We’re going to help these poor people.” The helpers quickly learned richness isn’t limited to material goods, she says. “When we were there we were struck by, ‘They are giving so much to us.’” • Turtle Bay Exploration Park: www.turtlebay.org Haven Humane Society: www.havenhumane.org Good News Rescue Mission: www.gnrm.org; jshields@gnrm.org Shasta Roots & Shoots: eva_varga@me.com Shasta Public Libraries: www.shastalibraries.org Redding parks and trails: www.ci.redding.ca.us/communityservices/ adopt.html; kniemer@ci.redding.ca.us

THE PIONEER FRED TICE HELD SIX LEATHER RIBBONS AND WITH the crack of a whip could turn 24 hooves with precision around the curve of mountainside. His brave passengers peered through curtained windows at the churning river below the steep cliffs. When he turned 21, the baby faced man with curly, oiled dark hair took up a whip and would live to be one of the last surviving stagecoach drivers of California and Oregon. One of his final turns at the ribbons, as the reins were called, was in 1931, when he drove his six-horse team across the Pioneer Bridge in California for its dedication. Interstate 5 passes over the Siskiyou Mountains, weaving through the passes to the town of Yreka. Just north of the city is Highway 263, once part of Highway 99, the main throughway in the mountains. When I-5 replaced Highway 99, a short portion of 99 was bypassed by cutting the new Interstate high above into the hillside. The remaining road below was renamed Highway 263 and held a masterpiece, the Pioneer Bridge.

BY GARY VANDEWALKER

BRIDGE

The steel cantilever bridge traverses the Shasta River Canyon. Looming 267 feet above the river, the Sacramento State Capitol building could be tucked underneath. Its construction eliminated the need for more than two miles of stage road, and a necessity of fording the river. The original road and fording followed the paths laid down by Native Americans, then traveled by trackers. They were beaten down by pack teams of 70 mules, bringing supplies to the mining towns south of the California-Oregon border. Stagecoaches and their drivers soon rutted the road while carrying their passengers. While running the ribbons, drivers carried a hickory or oak handled whiplash. The drivers played the eight-foot leather lash like an instrument. It turned in the air, making sounds telling the horses what to do. The lash never touched the horses. A whipped horse meant the driver was no longer employed. Their driving and whip skills earned them the title of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knights of the Whip,â&#x20AC;? inspiring young boys to dream of their own teams.4 continued on page 74

The lower highway (unpaved) and bridge provided the first road along the Shasta River to the Hornbrook ares, ultimately snaking its way up the Siskiyou Mountains into Oregon. The new Pioneer Bridge shown here was built in 1930 and was the highest span over a gorge in California.

The roads the Knights traveled became the modern highways and interstates. Many parts of the routes settled into two-lane country drives, often named “Old Stage Road.” The stages disappeared around 1887 when the railroad connected Oregon and California. The river ford and a new road built in 1914 were replaced by a new highway and the 794-foot bridge in 1931, connecting the two states with uninterrupted roadway. For the dedication of the Pioneer Bridge, the governors of California and Oregon drove north and south, meeting at the bridge. Now silver haired, Fred Tice took up his whip and ribbons and drove a team of horses with stagecoach across the span. A bronze plaque commemorated the August 29 afternoon, fixed to a granite boulder at the northeast corner. Words were inscribed in honor of Fred Tice and all who had driven this path with him.

Exit and continue 2.5 miles along the Klamath River on Highway 96. Turn left onto Highway 263 and continue 2 miles to the Pioneer Bridge.

Drummer Billly DiBono is the founder of the Chicobased cover band Decades, the opening act for this year’s 10week Summer Serenade Concert Series next to the banks of the Sacramento River in Anderson River Park. Since 2010, Decades has been working around the clock to learn material spanning from the 1940s Glenn Miller Orchestra’s "In The Mood” to more recent hits like “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars. According to DiBono, the idea for forming Decades came from his dad, Don DiBono, former owner of the Cabos nightclub in downtown Chico during the 1970s. He now runs Entertainment Services, a musical production and booking business. Joining Billy DiBono in Decades’ lineup are lead singer Samantha Francis, guitarist/saxophonist Will Watje, bassist Toby Brooks and keyboardist/vocalist Ben Ruttenberg. “It’s fun being able to have an endless amount of material to choose from,” DiBono says. “It feels like the world of music is at our hands. Everyone in the band can suggest any song into our mix. It’s more about, is this something we can pull off ? At one time, we had a lot of holes to fill with our music sets, but as things unfolded, the songs came along to fill the voids in the different eras and styles we play.”4 continued on page 78

formation, including opening for The Drifters in 2013, a performance in Hawaii in 2014 and warming up the audience for “Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles” this year. Decades’ debut album, “Take Me Back,” has independently sold more than 1,500 copies and was recorded by Grammynominated producer Sylvia Massy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince, Johnny Cash, Tool, System Of A Down). It includes eight covers and four originals, all of which were inspired by ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll. Their original song, “Little Girl,” made its radio debut on 106.7 Z-Rock on August 15, 2013. During their studio recording sessions, Massy suggested that Decades do a progression with their next album by moving into the 1960s, have the third album go into the ‘70s, and so on. DiBono says, “Even though we don’t make our living with original music, it beats working a day job. We are learning and polishing ourselves through this type of band. We haven’t ruled out anything with our future. Our goal right now is to entertain folks with established material that they already enjoy and want to hear again and again.” • 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.

Most shows are casino or club shows, and they’ve developed a formula for each type of show they play. “We want every show to be different,” he says. “We recently created a theater show around a performance we did at the Cascade Theatre in Redding. With these type of shows, people are sitting down in reserved ticket seats rather then out on a dancing floor. Its a lot of fun for us to work out these different performance formulas.” Decades played 125 performances throughout the West Coast last year, earning its place as one of California’s most in-demand bands. Its energetic live shows showcase each musician’s versatile instrumentation (including sax, harmonica and trumpet along with guitar, bass, keyboards and drums) as they switch from one to another throughout the show. “We spend a lot of time getting behind the instrumental sounds that have made each song a big hit. It’s a challenge, but practicing three or four times a week helps us give every single tune we do the justice it needs to be interpreted for people that remember what it sounded like originally. Sometimes it takes us a whole week to work up one song.” Decades has earned numerous achievements and highlights. The band has performed more than 400 shows since its

WOODEN SHUTTERS have always been popular, and until recently they were reasonably priced. Buying them new has become costly, and the antique ones are hard to come by. Why not customize your own? Garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores are ideal places to find shutters. Most common are the styles from the 1970s-‘80s, and with a little imagination, the possibilities are endless. Here is one way to personalize and use your bargain find.

YOU WILL NEED:

spray paint sandpaper sawtooth hangers

RECYCLE SHUTTERS 1. Prep your surface. If the wood is rough, sand and smooth it. Start with a higher grit and work your way down to a fine grit of about 180. 2. Clean the shutters with a spray of vinegar and water to remove any dirt, oil or wax buildup. 3. Once dry, follow the directions on your paint to achieve your desired coverage. 4. Allow to dry overnight. Take 150 grit sandpaper and give the surface a few passes, smoothing it out. Finish with 180 grit. 5. If you’d like to shabby them, pay close attention to corners and edges and go over them with a 150 or higher grit. Continue to sand until you see your desired effect. Take the sandpaper to the larger portions of the shutter and lightly sand over the paint until you see a dark shadow start to appear. This gives them an aged look. 6. Finish your surface with a smooth finishing wax paste. 7. You can apply a thin strip of wood across the back with a nail gun if you have trouble keeping your shutters aligned. Attach a saw tooth hanger to the middle back of the shutters. 8. You can add decorative knobs to the shutters, install a shelf along the bottom, screw and mount wall décor, hang earrings and necklaces, use clothespins and display pictures and cards – the possibilities are endless. 9. Hang in your desired location and enjoy!4 continued on page 82

REJUVENATE RUSTIC WOOD Scrapbook paper designs provide just the right pop of color for home decorating. This little handled letter holder was stained a dated dark brown and in need of a new look. After applying a coat of white paint and letting it dry, the makeover could begin. You will need Mod Podge, a paint brush, pencil, scissors and scrapbook paper. 1. Place one side of your rustic wood piece onto the scrapbook paper and trace around it. Repeat the same step with your other side(s). 2. Apply the paper to your piece with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Once dry, add a top coat. Allow that to dry and repeat the process until you have achieved your level of shine. You can lightly sand the paper with a very fine grit sandpaper and wax the piece. Note: This craft would also work perfectly on wooden magazine racks, shelves or wooden canisters, all of which are a dime a dozen at garage sales and thrift stores.

REPURPOSE GLASS STONES INTO MAGNETS This craft is incredibly easy and very relaxing – the perfect thing to do while visiting with friends. You will need scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, paint brush, pencil, scissors, glass stones (found at dollar stores), glue and magnets. 1. Place your stone on the scrapbook paper in your desired location and trace around the edge with a pencil. 2. Cut on the inside of your pencil lines. 3. Apply Mod Podge to your stone and smooth the circle of paper over it. 4. Allow to dry for a few hours. 5. Apply a quick-dry, strong-hold glue to the back of your scrapbook paper and affix your magnet. Note: Some magnets have sticky backs, but they aren’t typically strong enough to hold the weight of the stone, so securing them with glue is smart. For an extra special touch, try the clear blue glass stones. • Jennifer Highet resides in Redding and holds a degree from California State University Chico in Computer Animation.

Next Stop: Kindergarten

tarting kindergarten is one of childhood’s biggest milestones. As a preschool director, Jula Herzog has proudly helped dozens and dozens of youngsters make this leap. She knows it’s smart to start preparing early so your child has a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten. “Make this an exciting time of their lives! It helps reduce anxiety for both the parents and the child,” Herzog says. “In the year leading up to kindergarten, build a foundation for a good relationship between your family and your school that will continue for a lifetime and will support academic achievement.”

Jula Herzog

Teacher/director, Redding Cooperative Preschool

First 5 Shasta has a few tips for making the preschool to kindergarten transition go smoothly: Talk about school. Build your child’s enthusiasm about going to kindergarten. Point out the school when you pass by. Talk about the exciting things your child will be doing there. Get familiar with the new school. Most schools offer a Kindergarten Round-Up. Visit the campus and meet the teacher. This helps build your child’s familiarity with the new places and people at school. Have health records handy. To start kindergarten, children need a birth certificate and immunization record. They’ll also need an oral health assessment and a full well-child health exam is a good idea. Establish a routine. Children thrive on routine. A few weeks before school starts, begin going to bed and waking up at “school” times. At least eight hours of sleep will help your child be rested and ready to learn. Read, read, read! Read to your kids 20 minutes every day, even when they’re babies. It’s a great way to prepare them for school, and it’s a wonderful way to enjoy time together.

FOR THE CRUST: Crush crackers in a food processor or use a zippered plastic bag. If using the bag, zip crackers into bag, removing the air as you close it. Using a rolling pin, lightly tap the bag and roll pin over the crackers to crush. In a medium bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the crumb mix and stir until well combined. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake on rack in the middle of the oven until set and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven, set aside and allow to cool completely. Leave the oven on. FOR THE FILLING: While the crust is cooling, fit a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or use a large mixing bowl and a hand whisk or a hand mixer. Beat the egg whites until you have stiff peaks. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk. Add the lime juice and whisk until combined. Gently fold in about half of the egg whites to the mixture, then add the remaining egg whites and fold until just evenly combined. Spread the mixture in the pre-baked crust and bake until center is set, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. It can be baked up to 3 days ahead – just store, covered, in the refrigerator. FOR THE TOPPING: When ready to serve, prepare topping. Like with the egg whites, use either a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or a large mixing bowl, using a hand whisk or a hand mixer. Beat the heavy cream, sugar and extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the coconut, reserving some to add to top of pie. For topping the pie, either cut into slices and top each with a big dollop of whipped cream and garnishes, or I like to spread the topping, covering the entire pie. Sprinkle with reserved coconut and lime zest, and add slices of Key limes as garnish.

by Billy Pilgrim I wish I had known Art Wooden personally, because he embodied and put into practice the same things I believe in - that every kid should have the opportunity to play ball. I have coached youth baseball and softball for the better part of my adult life, and Art did, too. He devoted his time and energy to give children in our community the joyful experience of playing team sports. I was introduced to Art’s legacy and foundation through one of my daughter’s coaches, Kelly Hornbuckle, quite a ballplayer herself. I learned that Art loved kids, loved ball, and made quite a name for himself coaching kids in our community. You may have known Art as a Shasta County Sheriff. The kids he coached remember him as a man who made a difference in their lives, encouraging them on the diamonds and in the hitting cages of our town. For many of these kids, the time at practice or at the game was the best part of their day. Art Wooden gave of his time unselfishly so our youth could learn many of the life skills that come from playing sports, like teamwork and unselfishness, confidence and self esteem. And the feeling a kid gets when they put on a uniform with their own number on the back.

Art passed to the eternal field of dreams in 2013, and his legacy continues with the Art Wooden Play Ball! Foundation. It is dedicated to giving children with financial disadvantages a chance to play. It has been estimated there are 12,000 kids in Shasta County living below the poverty line. Playing sports can be spendy. Registration can be anywhere from $65 to $100. Add a glove, pants, a bat bag, a bat and cleats and it’s easy to spend another $200, putting team ball out of the reach of many families. The Art Wooden Play Ball! Foundation gives financial assistance, equipment and education to kids who need a little help to get in the game. You can be a part of this wonderful organization and make a lasting difference in a kid’s life. Become a sponsor or a donor. Nominate a child for a scholarship. Come to the annual Home Run Derby Fundraiser in late August at Softball Park. There is plenty of information available on the websitewww.ArtWoodenPlayBall.org. Step up to the plate and spread the light into a child’s life. God Bless Art Wooden.

GIVING BACK

BY CLAUDIA MOSBY

PENNY WISE T H E P E N N Y M A N , A LV I N E H R H A R DT, L E AV E S A L E G A C Y

THE PENNY OFTEN GETS A BUM RAP. We cannot purchase anything with only one or two, and not wanting to be bothered, we often discard them in jars or abandon them in “penny trays” at retail checkout stands. Financial institutions frequently charge a fee to take them and the U.S. Mint loses millions of dollars annually producing a coin whose costs outweigh its value. The grassroots PennyFreeBiz movement is working to eliminate the one-cent piece from U.S. currency by 2016. Alvin Ehrhardt, however, did not succumb to the penny aversion of our times. Instead, he saw its potential to fund good work, a first easy step to an accumulation for a greater good. A Freemason, Shriner and member of the Scottish Rite, Ehrhardt began collecting pennies a decade ago to donate to charity. Before his passing in October 2014, he had amassed between 700,000 and 800,000 pennies, a project kept alive in the months since by the Redding Masonic Lodge #254. “We had people donating as much as 40 pounds of pennies at a time to ‘Al’s Pennies,’” says fellow Mason Howard Kirkpatrick. “When they heard they could donate them to a charitable cause like this, they started bringing them in.” As the coins arrived, lodge members began rolling them. Northern California Insurance and the offices of CPA Tom Kurth in Redding bear signs in their windows with Ehrhardt’s picture, announcing themselves as a collection place. Kirkpatrick says the project will continue as long as people keep donating. Lucille McGee, companion and caregiver to Ehrhardt for the seven years prior to his passing, describes him as “very outgoing and somewhat charismatic.” The idea for the collection, she says, grew out of a luncheon exchange one day with a fellow Shriner who talked about giving his “two cents worth.” Ehrhardt took those two cents and collected another two each time he and his friend met. Out of that simple exchange, the idea was born to donate the money to the Sacramento Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center. “Everyone knows of the Shriner’s Hospital, but many do not know about the Childhood Language Center,” says Wally Clark, chairman of its 102 | ENJOY JUNE 2015

Board of Governors. “The work we do here helps children not only with their speech and language needs but also with their self-esteem.” The center serves an average of 100 children monthly, ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years of age. Licensed speech pathologists help children read and speak, working with many who have dyslexia. “All are treated free of charge,” says Clark. “We are able to do this by taking a percentage of interest annually from the Center Foundation account, which is made possible by donations from Alvin (Ehrhardt) and others.” Most children (from Sacramento County to the Oregon Border) use center services for one-and-a-half to two years. While most are from the Sacramento area due to the logistics of accessing one-on-one services regularly, the center also provides assessment and diagnosis. “Sometimes parents really don’t know what or if an issue exists,” says Clark. “Those who live up north can apply and get their child diagnosed. With a good assessment, their local schools can often better meet student needs.” Some of the money raised by Ehrhardt, says Kirkpatrick, supported the travel fund for bus operation from Redding to Sacramento for children in need. “A lot of times people only get credit if they write a check for a million bucks,” says Clark. “What Al did shows that the ordinary person can do something extraordinary and it is deeply appreciated. He picked the penny because most anyone can donate a penny. A million pennies is $10,000.” Like Benjamin Franklin, Ehrhardt knew that “a penny saved is a penny earned.” When invested properly, it grows. • www.reddinglodge.org • www.ssrlc.org
