This wonderful treasure was discovered several years ago and is now coming to the world. The farmer claimed it was a “Dream worth catching”.

IT’S A BIRD, IT’S A PLANE... IT’S Mark Best storytelling purchase: “I bought eleven hand-crafted branding irons to take to a business conference to give as gifts with the message, ‘Bring your brand to Shasta.’ Buying them at the Enjoy store was easy, but getting them through airport security took a lot of negotiation. Now I settle for wine stops!” As a resident of Shasta County for more than 30 years, I appreciate my beautiful surroundings. In my career, I find myself sharing my enthusiasm for our amazing Northern California. I can honestly say that although I am selling people on starting or relocating their business here, at the end of the day, it’s where you hang your hat that’s most important. At Enjoy the Store, they have this entire region and its people displayed for locals and visitors to covet. The Enjoy staff is very familiar with the stories of each product, and as those receiving the gift open it, I can romance them by repeating these amazing stories. Yes, I do like to tell stories! Some of my favorite products are: Branding irons (a unique gift to sell brand location), woodwork by Charlie Clinkenbeard (everybody is awestruck by his work), and music…since it’s the soundtrack to my life!

RUSSELL VAN DEWARK ADMITS he sounds “kind of Hallmark-ish,” but the best description he can come up with for downtown Chico is: “it’s a warm community.” A supervisor at Formal Education, a men’s clothing store, he has been in Chico for less than a year but he already calls it “my home away from home.” “It’s a really awesome place and there are a lot of really awesome people. It’s definitely a really diverse downtown but there’s a sense of togetherness,” Van Dewark says. There’s also a practical side to the downtown scene: “During school, it’s pretty sweet to wake up and within walking distance is everything you need and more.”
Downtown Chico is pretty sweet, and it’s not exactly by accident. Business owners, employees, residents and even the customers put a lot of work in to keep it as nice as possible, and nobody takes it for granted. “There’s just a feel of ownership, which I adore,” says Amy Anderson, manager of the popular Made in Chico store. “Everybody feels like it’s their own.” “Being a part of downtown is belonging to a great neighborhood where everyone knows and helps each other out. There’s a great vibe to our downtown area,” says Eric Metcalf, owner of the Chico Paper Co.4 continued on page 18

Chico is not a large city—its population was 86,187 at the 2010 census—but its downtown is impressively large and it shares in the vibrancy that permeates a city that is home to both a public university and a massive and much-loved municipal park. With its well-shaded sidewalks, colorful shops and pedestrianfriendly vibe, downtown Chico just looks like what a downtown should look like, and it feels like one, too. Visitors pick up on that on a regular basis, says Katie Simmons, head of the Chico Chamber of Commerce. “People have asked if downtown has ever served as a backdrop to a movie because it’s so iconic,” she says, noting the “beautiful tree canopies, the lovely architecture and classic storefronts.” “A lot of the businesses are owner-operated, so you have a real local feel to most of the shops. It’s a quintessentially beautiful community. There are features for children, the water fountain in City Plaza, fabulous retail shopping for all ages, an historic hardware store, a vibrant nightlife … visitors often remark that the most memorable part of Chico is downtown.”

“We have a very unique downtown,” says Nicole Romain, membership services coordinator for the Downtown Chico Business Association. “For one thing, we’re fairly large with 40 square blocks and 450 different businesses. And another thing: we’re very well known for our events. Our Thursday Night Market is ranked up there with the best markets nationally.” A combination of street festival and farmers’ market, the Thursday Night Market is held weekly from April through September on Broadway between 2nd and 5th streets. It routinely draws between 8,000 and 10,000 people to downtown to shop, dine and enjoy a variety of free entertainment. The biggest and most popular event, though, is the annual Taste of Chico. On a Sunday in September, downtown streets are closed to vehicle traffic and more than 100 restaurants, bars, wineries and brewers offer samples. “It’s a one-day event, from noon to 4 pm, and typically we see about 12,000 people throughout that time span,” Romain says.4 continued on page 20

Plus you’ve got great local businesses coming in all the time. You can’t re-create that.” “There’s a special charm to downtown Chico,” says Metcalf, the Chico Paper Co. proprietor. “From the college to the great restaurants to the murals that surround us, it’s all artful in nature. The diversity of all the locally owned shops makes it fun for the whole family.” Having his gallery and custom framing shop located downtown “makes us more accessible as a great place to view our local talent. I am in awe of the amount of artistic craftsmanship right here in Chico,” Metcalf says. • www.downtownchico.com www.chicochamber.com

This year’s Taste of Chico is set for Sunday, Sept. 13. The Downtown Chico Business Association also hosts free concerts every Friday evening at the City Plaza. The family-friendly events are held from May through September, with Chico-based musicians offering up everything from blues and swing music to classic rock and reggae. The association also has had good luck with the “Beautiful Clean and Safe” campaign that it implemented last year, Romain adds. The program created a team of downtown ambassadors who walk the downtown streets, helping customers and shopkeepers alike and serving as additional eyes and ears for public safety and social service providers. The program also enlists clients at the Jesus Center, a Chico-based day center for people in need, and pays them to keep the downtown area neat and tidy. “It’s nice when you see a majority of merchants coming together and being fans of keeping downtown clean and safe,” Romain says. Anderson, from Made in Chico, says a blend of continuity and infusions of fresh energy keep downtown

BIG MO AND THE FULL MOON BAND MAURICE HUFFMAN IS THE GUY you'll need to know when the rains return. He can outfit you in protective gear from Swisslink.com, his supply business of international military surplus gear. If you need sandbags but don’t want to fill them yourself, he’s designed a “just add water” storm bag that he also sells through the site. If you need to get away in a hurry and don’t want to queue for gas, he’s got a line of highgrade metal, EPA-approved jerry cans that can keep you on the road. And at the end of the day, if the storms are just too much, he can offer a blues song, one that he's written himself. Huffman, also known as Big Mo of Big Mo and the Full Moon Band, has a long and storied history that has taken him from the awards stage of the Monterey Bay Blues Festival (Best Blues Band, 2004) to the pages of the Wall Street Journal (his sandbags once helped protect a New York hospital from major storm damage) to military warehouses across Europe, where he uncovers gems for Swisslink, his Paradisebased online and brick-and-mortar business. “It kind of worked out to be a fun business,” he says of Swisslink, the venture he started in 1996 when a young son gave him reason to question pursuing life on the road as a touring musician. “You have to have fun,” he adds with a smile. While it’s hard to imagine a musician named Big Mo not having fun, he almost didn’t make it to the stage his first year at the Monterey
Bay Blues Festival. “They thought we were the guys that were bringing the equipment in,” he says with a laugh. Big Mo was originally invited to the festival in 2002 based on the sound of one original track he submitted to organizers, “Hey Hey,” which he describes as “a bluesy cassette song.” “I didn’t even have a band,” he says, noting the hustle he had to do when he was accepted. “I called my buddies in Germany and said, ‘Guys, you’ve always wanted to visit me and this is the time.’” Back then, Big Mo was still known as a Maurice, a young immigrant from Germany who had followed his heart to Northern California with a new American wife. Thanks to American Forces Radio, he’d grown up on Southern rock and had a taste for American blues. When he needed to pull together a band in a hurry, his German friends were the best he knew. Three years later, he had a more intentionally formed band and they were back on stage accepting the Best Blues Band award, “a really big thing for a German white boy to win,” he says. By then, someone had called him Big Mo, and the name had stuck. He and his 10-piece ensemble, including guitarist Richard Moore of the Troggs and “Wild Thing” fame, went on to accept eight consecutive Chico Area Music Awards in the blues category.4 continued on page 24 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 23
A secret to their success is original writing, which Big Mo churned out at the rate of a song a day for about 20 years. “Blues can get very dangerously boring,” he says, noting his desire to be fresh with original writing. One might say that Big Mo was anointed into music at a young age. At only 13 years old, he was dragged to a Ray Charles concert in Germany when his mom fell ill and was unable to keep her invitation from an American friend who taught in the military school system. The friend grabbed Big Mo from behind his mom’s skirt and insisted he take her place. Sheepishly, he recalls being annoyed all the way from Heidelberg to the Mannheim concert hall, full of teenage attitude and unaware of the power of Ray Charles. “My God, the first two notes this guy sang,” he says with reverence of the epiphany that came once the concert began. “I was just in a fantasy world. It was so amazing. I was mesmerized.” The experience only got better as his mom’s friend, who had grown up with Charles, took him backstage. Charles rubbed his forehead and said, prophetically, “You’ve got a musical forehead. Do you sing?” In fact, Huffman did sing. He was a choir boy. But from that moment on, he says, “He had me going. I was a huge fan.” He moved from choir to Southern rock and eventually on to the American stage as a blues man infusing his work with funk and other influences. Although Big Mo says, “I wish I had grown up musically in San Francisco rather than Heidelberg,” it’s clear that he’s made the most of his opportunities. These days, he’s focused less on songwriting and has turned to penning “Jake and the Hot Air Balloon,” a collection of bedtime stories he made up to tell his son, Miles, as he grew up. He keeps a camper on Lake Almanor, where he reflects on the joys of his life and the opportunities that have opened up. Rain or shine, whether on the stage or as a business entrepreneur, Big Mo keeps it fun and reminds people that the blues can bring joy. • www.bigmoblues.com www.swisslink.com www.wavianusa.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

DR. AMANDA GOYNE MOONEYHAM is sitting on a stool facing her patient at Shasta Community Health Center. She’s the patient’s primary care provider and knows her well, not just giving her positive nonverbal feedback throughout their conversation but a fist-bump congratulating the patient on her weight loss. Mooneyham has just begun the second of three years as a family practice resident at the health center after earning her M.D. and master’s in public health from the University of California at Davis. “Medicine has been a real calling for me,” says Mooneyham. While majoring in biology at the University of Nevada at Reno, she worked for the Shasta County Coroner one summer. Despite the difficult nature of the work, Amanda “fell in love with forensic pathology and medicine.” Mooneyham understands difficult tasks. She was 3 years old when she was diagnosed with a 90-decibel hearing loss in both ears, and she is considered profoundly deaf. She uses hearing aids, lip-reading and an electronic stethoscope with headphones. But it’s her keen intelligence that enables Mooneyham not just to get by but to excel in seemingly everything she undertakes. Growing up in Redding, her parents, Rick and Lori Goyne, encouraged her not to be limited by anything except her own goals. The family, including brother Paul, all skied for fun. During high school at the now-closed Bishop Quinn in Palo Cedro and college, Amanda raced competitively in major downhill events all over the world. She won the gold medal in the Super G race at the international Deaf Olympics in 2007. After graduating from Nevada, Amanda married engineering graduate Joshua Mooneyham; they met through their common love of ballroom dancing. This couple knows more than dance moves. They have climbed Mt. Whitney and Mt. Shasta, travelled the world with their backpacks and love exploring Redding’s many dirt trails with their mountain bikes. 4 continued on page 28 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 27
“Much of what I can understand has a lot to do with context and visual body lang uag e. I tr y to close the communication loop by repeating back the important details … At the end of the day, I am pretty exhausted from it all and I can come home and sign with my husband.” After medical school, Mooneyham chose a residency in family medicine because she loved all of her core rotations in medical school, including surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry and pediatrics. “Family medicine gives me a chance to practice all of these in a single day,” she says. In 2013, she took a break from medical school to get her master’s in public health. She wanted to see the bigger picture. “A person’s health is largely influenced by their environment, including socioeconomic status, culture, access to clean water, vaccines and preventative medicine. I absolutely love public health because its model focuses on affecting whole populations.” At Shasta Community Health Center, Mooneyham sees people who don’t have things many people take for granted. “Many of my patients aren’t able to follow through with their treatment plan because they lack transportation…or medical coverage for simple medical supplies,” she says. The family residency program is a helpful partnership between the health center and Mercy Medical Center. For example, Mooneyham will see a patient for prenatal care and then help deliver the baby at Mercy under the supervision of the health center’s Dr. Jeffrey Bosworth. Mooneyham’s many clinical rotations will include pain management and palliative care, orthopedics and cardiology. In addition to Mercy and the health center, Mooneyham will work out of various local physicians’ offices. In their third year, family residents take on more responsibility as teachers and leaders. Some even continue as physicians at Shasta Community Health Center, which serves 40,000 patients. “Our mission is to serve the underserved,” says
28 | ENJOY AUGUST 2015
the health center’s Family Residency Program Director Dr. Debbie Lupeika. The need for doctors to serve this population continues to grow, she says. Mooneyham “is diligent, intelligent, always prepared,” Lupeika says. “When preparing for a patient with a complex diagnosis, she reads up and knows all the treatments.” Mooneyham recently received the Mercy Medical Center and Shasta Community Health Center award for Intern of the Year. How does Mooneyham know she is communicating effectively with her patients? “Much of what I can understand has a lot to do with context and visual body language. I try to close the communication loop by repeating back the important details … At the end of the day, I am pretty exhausted from it all and I can come home and sign with my husband.” Lupeika says that Mooneyham is especially appreciated by a patient who is also deaf. “She communicates with Amanda without an interpreter — they sign to each other.” Enjoying the privacy between doctor and patient, which many take for granted, is huge for deaf patients. “I absolutely love the smile on their faces when I sign with them,” says Mooneyham. • Gwen Lawler-Tough enjoys the Irish art of storytelling. She is a native of the Midwest and came to Redding via the Bay Area 15 years ago. She and her husband are enjoying their empty nest phase of life.

STEM CELLS...
OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM
Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate. Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives. Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

EXPLORE Whiskeytown
W H I S K E Y TO W N N AT I O N A L R E C R E AT I O N A R E A SUN-KISSED PRESCHOOLERS SHRIEK WITH DELIGHT as they take turns burying each other in the warm sand at Brandy Creek. After work, serenity-seekers glide into the water on paddleboards for a unique session of yoga, the day’s worries melting away. An artist hikes up to Whiskeytown Falls, settling at Artist’s Ledge to capture the beauty on canvas. It’s been 50 years since President Lyndon Johnson signed legislation establishing Whiskeytown National Recreation Area on November 8, 1965. In the ensuing half-century, the area has grown to include an environmental school, a restored watershed, hundreds of miles of trails, additional waterfall access, numerous ranger-led programs and more.
Redding outdoorsman Leon Nelson has spent the better part of eight decades exploring Whiskeytown and its surroundings, and encourages North State residents to do the same. “I’ve walked every single solitary inch of Brandy Creek, from where it dumps into Whiskeytown Lake at the beach to where it comes gushing from the mountain, high on the southern slopes of 6,199-foot Shasta Bally,” says Nelson, who used to plan secret picnics for his mother along Brandy Creek every Mother’s Day. He’s taught most of his grandchildren to fish for trout at Whiskeytown, primarily at their “secret fishing hole” on Paige Boulder Creek. 4 continued on page 32 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 31
Great ways to launch your own adventure: • CHAT WITH AN EXPERT in the Visitor Center and learn more about the history of the Wintu, who settled in the area thousands of years ago, and the California Gold Rush, which brought miners to Whiskeytown. • STROLL ALONG CLEAR CREEK, where gold was discovered and led to Whiskeytown’s name. Legend has it that a miner loaded a whiskey barrel on his mule to bring back to camp to celebrate after finding gold, and when other miners startled the mule, it bucked off the whiskey barrel and sent it crashing down a hill, creating “Whiskey Creek.” • SEE WHICH SPECIES you can identify in the California native plant garden behind the Visitor Center. • VISIT THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL. With the click of a button, you can hear his speech from the 1963 Whiskeytown Dam dedication. • EXPLORE THE CAMDEN HOUSE, built in 1852 by prospectors and restored in 1981. • HIKE TO SHASTA BALLY, the highest point in Whiskeytown at 6,199 feet. • VISIT THE LOWEST POINT in Whiskeytown – Clear Creek near the southeast park boundary, which is at 860 feet. • WATCH THE STARS under a clear night sky. One great spot is the Mount Shasta Mine Loop Trail parking lot on Paige Bar Road. 32 | ENJOY AUGUST 2015
• MARVEL at the 150-year-old fruit trees at the Tower House Historic District. • PAN FOR GOLD in Clear Creek. • TAKE A BIKE RIDE on one of the dozens of park trails. The Chimney (near Brandy Creek) is a great workout ride, while the Oak Bottom Water Ditch Trail is an easy, family-friendly trek. • PACK YOURSELF A PICNIC. The developed beaches have shady picnic spots with fire grills, or take your basket and blanket to your favorite hideaway. Try the picnic site at Crystal Creek Falls for a change of scenery. • TAKE YOUR KAYAK, canoe or stand-up paddle board out from Brandy Creek. • RENT A FISHING BOAT, pontoon boat or deck cruiser from Oak Bottom and explore every inch of the lake. (Personal watercraft is not allowed.) • SAIL AWAY - there’s usually enough wind to move your sailboat along, and you’re likely to find a number of folks spending the evening hours letting go of the stress of a long workday with a sail along the lake. • FOR A HIGHER-OCTANE ADVENTURE, waterski or wakeboard your way around Whiskeytown. • ENROLL THE KIDS in a free Junior Ranger or Junior Firefighter program, where they’ll learn about preserving their parks.
The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area marks its golden anniversary this summer, and its Friends have planned an engaging celebration in its honor. The Friends of Whiskeytown’s “Symphony on the Beach” is set for 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at Brandy Creek Beach. It will include dedication of a plaque honoring Stephen Mather (the first director of the National Park Service), sealing of a children’s time capsule, a performance by Shasta Symphony Orchestra, the launch of candle luminaries and speeches by local dignitaries.
• TREAT YOURSELF to unobstructed panoramic views from the new Princess Ditch Trail. • COMPLETE the Whiskeytown Waterfall Challenge by hiking to all four of the park’s waterfalls – Whiskeytown, Brandy Creek, Boulder Creek and the ADA-accessible Crystal Creek Falls. • SEARCH for the nesting pairs of osprey that call Whiskeytown home. • DISCOVER WHAT LIES BELOW the lake’s surface with a scuba diving adventure. • FISH from a boat or the shore (with a valid California fishing license). • ENJOY a free ranger-led program, including kayaking, astronomy, movies under the starlight, historical cemetery tours and more. • FLOAT. Grab a raft, slather on some sunscreen and forget your worries. • CAMP OUT. The park is home to nearly 200 campsites (developed and primitive), including some RV spots. • VOLUNTEER. Love the park? Opportunities abound to give back. • Find Whiskeytown National Recreation Area on Facebook. Whiskeytown annual pass (also good at Lassen Volcanic National Park) is $40; weekly pass is $10; available at the Visitor Center (the park will be fee-free on Aug. 25, Sept. 26 and Nov. 11 this year).
“We wanted to do something kind of classy, since Whiskeytown is such a beautiful park,” said Park Superintendent Jim Milestone. “We have a million visitors a year now – it’s a pretty neat place.” For an extra touch of class, guests can write their names and wishes on candle luminaries, which will be launched into the water and kept within designated swimming areas by kayak patrols. Art from the artists-in-residence program will also be on display. People of all ages are encouraged to write letters about their experiences at Whiskeytown to be included in the time capsule, which was built by the park welder and will be opened in 50 years. Letters can be taken to the Visitor Center or mailed to the Office of the Superintendent, P.O. Box 188, Whiskeytown, CA 96095.

R A E T U R N B U L L TO U C H E S FA N S FA R A N D W I D E W I T H HER POETIC WRITING IF YOU’RE FROM A FAMILY OF article clippers– people who save and share snippets from newspapers and magazines—chances are, somewhere in your stash is at least one essay from Rae Turnbull. The prolific writer from Capay (rural Yolo County) had a selfsyndicated newspaper column from 1992-2002, which published three times per week in seven newspapers nationwide, including the Record Searchlight and Chico Enterprise-Record. “I can’t begin to tell you how many memorial services have happened across the country where I’ve been contacted by people who found a piece of mine in the personal effects of a loved one and they wanted to use it in the memorial service,” says the writer, now 81. “I really think that I spoke to people who were a little shy about putting things into words,” she says of the small moments in family life that added up to big feelings and found their way into her work. “It’s the common chord that we all share,” she adds. “When you speak to that it’s very strange – my readers range from far left to far right, urban, suburban, ranch, farms. There’s a common language.” At the height of her column’s run, Turnbull was published in papers as large as the Omaha World Herald and Las Vegas Review Journal. “I never had an editor say they didn’t like the work,” she says. “But they did say they didn’t know what to do with it.”4 continued on page 36
AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 35
Her essays are poems, with openings such as, “I stepped into his kitchen/and met his memories/The refrigerator door was crowded with snapshots/of small children/now grown and on their own/And a smiling wife/ before she lost her fight with illness and with time.” If her editors didn’t always know what to do with her work, her readers certainly did. They clipped her stories and sent them to friends and family when no other words could be found. Or they tucked them away in drawers for safe keeping to call upon for comfort on another day. And they wrote to Turnbull in appreciation, hoping to connect with the writer who had connected so well to their hearts. “One lady in particular said, ‘I finally figured out who you are. You’re living in my closet!’” recalls Turnbull. “And I loved that.” A letter once arrived from Lincoln, Neb., saying, “I want you to know that I have file drawers filled with your essays.” That reader is now a friend of Turnbull’s and the two have visited each other and introduced family members. “People felt that I was like family,” she adds. The column began after her son’s birth, “which was a long time ago,” she says with a laugh. “It was probably about 40 years ago that my husband said, ‘You really should get these published.’” She began in Huntington Beach and eventually had 12 essays published in Good Housekeeping, whose editors suggested she syndicate. Eventually she did, and took much of her inspiration from life in rural Capay, where her family moved so husband George, a renowned artist and designer, could take a new position at Chico State University. “A line would come into my head and I would know that I would have to write it down,” she says. If she was driving, that would mean needing to pull over on a rural road to jot down notes. As characteristic of a small farming community, someone would inevitably pull over to ask, “Ma’am, do you need some help?”
36 | ENJOY AUGUST 2015
Eventually word got out that the neighbor frequently pulled over on the side of the road was a writer. They began looking for themselves in her column. “They would very seldom be mentioned by name,” she says. But her neighbors often inspired her and found their way into her work. While the column retired in 2002, Turnbull remains as busy and creative as ever. “I’m 81 and I’m still writing,” she says. She also, along with George, is operating the well-regarded Orland Art Center, which features monthly exhibitions and weekly fine art classes and workshops. The Art Center draws artists both local, national and international, and has included the works of both Turnbulls. “My drawings are like my writing,” says Turnbull. “Spare. Precise. No more, no less.” Husband George, by contrast, frequently works in watercolor and oils, and creates vivid landscapes and visual stories of Great Basin Buckaroos. The home that the couple shares is a testament to a life welllived and full of creative pursuit. “When we bought this place it was 20 acres and a cornfield,” says Turnbull, overlooking a park-like setting with horses in the background. “Everything on this place my husband built.” As the two share a look of admiration and mutual support, it’s clear that the home was built with love, as well. • www.orlandartcenter.com www.georgeturnbull.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

BEAUTY TRENDS
| BY MELISSA GULDEN
SUMMER BEAUTY SWAP T R A D E I N T H E H E AV Y A N D G O A L I T T L E L I G H T E R BEAUTY PRODUCTS ARE LIKE baseball players—even the best performers get traded every season. Consider replacing heavy hitters (creams, hair masks, heavy lipsticks) with lighter, high-endurance formulas. Summer is in full swing, and with it, the sun, the salt and the sweat. Here’s what to swap out for summer, and what you need to stay looking fabulous, even as temperatures rise.
Shelve your creamy face wash and try a foaming one instead; it’s better at removing sweat, oil and stubborn waterproof products. It’s also important to swap out your SPF 15 moisturizer for a non-greasy sunscreen with an SPF of 30+. Use a fast-absorbing formula with strong UV protection. And trade your foundation for a beauty balm cream, which won’t feel heavy or settle in creases.
Just as you switch to breezy skirts and cotton tees, dress your face with lighter makeup. Swap foundation for tinted moisturizer. Sheer formulas look and feel airier on skin and are less likely to turn cakey on steamy days. If you need a bit more coverage, brush powder foundation over blemishes or areas of redness around your nose. For longer-lasting shadow, smooth on an eye primer. It will minimize creasing and create a base for the shadow to cling to so it lasts longer. For the ultimate in all-day wearability, layer a powder over a cream. Doubling up works for liner, too. Apply your regular pencil or cream liner, then use a small angled brush to press dark shadow over the liner to set it for longer wear. If you’ve tried waterproof mascaras in the past but found them less than stellar, it’s time to give ‘em another go—today’s formulas are much better. Can’t bear to switch from your favorite? Apply a waterproof version on the tips of your lashes over your regular mascara to boost its staying power.4 continued on page 40 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 39
And just as you’re probably more likely to wear a vivid top or carry a bright bag this season, now is the perfect time to play up your makeup palette. Besides looking summery, livelier colors brighten the face and bring a youthful glow to skin. Try a bright pink lip or cheeks, just for fun. Since heavy lip colors can often feel like overkill once the weather warms up, many women opt for clear balm or skip their lips altogether. But just because you’re feeling low-maintenance doesn’t mean you have to look it.

Even if the sunscreen hasn’t reached the expiration date, every time you open a bottle of sunscreen, oxygen degrades the SPF ingredients, reducing its potency. A year-old bottle won’t offer the same level of protection. I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it: A “fake” tan is the only safe tan. Lying out in the sun (or worse, a tanning bed) is one of those things your mom always warned you about, but you did anyway—hence, the aforementioned dark spots. Create your own (safe) golden complexion by using a combination of liquid foundation and shimmery highlighter. And always start with a primer, especially in the summer. They’re incredibly light and they really help hold makeup in place. Bronzer makes your eyes look brighter, your teeth whiter— everyone looks better with a little warmth added to their skin. To keep the results looking fresh and natural, apply bronzer just to the high points of your face, where the sun naturally hits you: forehead, cheekbones, chin and nose. Just because mercury is on the rise, doesn’t mean your style has to decline. So get out there and feel beautiful at the park, the beach or anywhere else these last days of summer may take you. • Melissa Gulden is a teacher with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

R E Splace TING
T H E H E A L I N G P R O C E S S O F C R E AT I V I T Y W I T H J A C Q U E G R U B B S TWO YEARS AGO, when her husband Jim died, Jacque Grubbs grieved through a cathartic creative process honoring the man she’d loved and shared life with for 40 years. With support from her family, Grubbs decided to invest the life insurance money to transform a 700-squarefoot living space into what she has christened “The Resting Place” in Redding, inspired by a dream her husband had about rest. Now a vacation rental, the one-bedroom cottage
represents Grubbs’ passion for creating a comfortable, welcoming place for guests to linger and relax. Elements in the interior design reflect some of Jim’s passions. He loved the works of C.S. Lewis. A large abstract painting of a lion, reminiscent of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia, makes its feature statement on one wall of the living room.4 continued on page 44

“I want to create. I want every canvas I see to become a beautiful completion with a mark of excellence — whether it be a home, a business, my family, a song, a book — I want to help create the beauty I know is there, to tap into the beauty and songs from heaven.” Jacque Grubbs, artist and interior designer The home initially needed a total remodel to open up small, crowded spaces. She raised the ceiling and tore down interior walls, added a wall-to-wall beam in the living room and rearranged the bath and bedroom. Now, guests walk into a serene space that invites cozy interludes in a five-star accommodation. Grubbs envisioned a fresh, urban style. She achieved this by blending reclaimed wood with industrial lighting, hand-scraped and distressed dark wood floors and a range of warm shades of gray throughout, punctuated here and there with yellow accents. The project took almost a year to complete. By adding splashes of bright “happy” yellow, beginning with the front door, Grubbs worked through those early days of loss remembering the joy Jim had brought. “Life is Good” greets guests as they walk through the front door. Beveled 44 | ENJOY AUGUST 2015
marble subway tiles for the backsplash paired with granite countertops create a timeless feel in the kitchen. Grubbs uses a dining table made of reclaimed wood, and distressed the new wood beam herself to make it look like it had been there since the house was built. Every accent delights the eye and invites inspection. Laid out in an L-shape from the kitchen into the living room, two easy chairs and a leather sofa bed face an entertainment center set beside the red brick floor-toceiling column that was a surprise discovery and at one time probably protected the wall from the heat of a potbelly stove. Windows are framed by chevron-patterned drapes in varying grey tones. Decorative pillows and woven throws, including pops of that trademark “happy” yellow, invite cuddling up in quiet conversation or an evening of television.4 continued on page 46 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY 44

A high window on the left of a wide hallway adds natural light above a reclaimed wood and mirrored cabinet holding extra linens. Fluffy bathrobes hang from hooks across the hall on padded hangers. On the right, a high frosted glass window pulls light from the hall. A single French door opens into the spa-like bathroom, which features glass tile on the back wall and fully tiled white side walls surrounding the tub and shower. The hallway ends in a spacious bedroom with ample storage and an inviting sitting area. More gray tones warm the space that whispers romance from its organic cotton mattress to luxuriant bed linens. Though Grubbs rarely has time for creating on canvas, she painted an original abstract landscape to hang above the high upholstered headboard. Three bonus outdoor spaces offer extra places to relax. Outside the sunny front door are a covered porch and restful sitting area from which to greet passersby or soak up the afternoon sun. Off the bedroom, a shaded patio beckons morning coffee lovers. Later it becomes a lovely place to gather for a meal. From the kitchen door, a grassy

garden area offers a seating area under the pavilion and a tree-shaded hammock for the ultimate in afternoon relaxing. Grubbs’ efforts in designing “the Resting Place” represent her talents as an artist and designer, celebrated by her husband as they lived life together. He ended his career as a well-loved professor at Simpson University. Owning a business, designing spaces for others and raising their family of three children flowed well, says Grubbs (now the grandmother of 14), from the heart of her supportive husband. “The Resting Place” pays tribute to their legacy of love. • Find “The Resting Place” on www.airbnb.com

the range G E T YO U R S W I N G O N AT A Q U A G O L F
THERE’S A BIT OF A HIERARCHY applied to the list of things you can only do in Redding, and just below the sacrosanct activities— ordering a steak at Jack’s Grill and walking on the Sundial Bridge—is hitting a bucket of balls at Aqua Golf. Knocking golf balls into the old Kutras Pond next to the Sacramento River is just cool, in part because the business on Park Marina Drive is a North State institution, and a unique one at that. An Internet search only reveals aquatic driving ranges in Reno, Denver and Hallandale, Fla. The latter range was popularized in the movie “There’s Something About Mary.” Redding’s Aqua Golf, however, doesn’t need a Hollywood hook to grab extra attention. Local linksters have known about it for years. Motorists who see it from the Highway 44 bridge or curious visitors who float by it while fishing, rafting or paddle-boarding on the river find themselves drawn to it, as well. It’s also cool because you get to hit golf balls into the water without incurring any penalty strokes, and for anyone who has played the grand 4 continued on page 50

old game on dry land only to have their ball descend into the murky depths of a water hazard, that’s a refreshing change of pace. Refreshing is just one of the popular responses customers offer after visiting Aqua Golf. “There are so many first-timers that come here and they are always pleasantly surprised,” says Cindy Galwey, who owns and operates Aqua Golf with her recently retired husband, Ken. “The common reaction is: I’ve never seen anything like this. Or they’ll say ‘I heard about this place and just had to come and check it out.’” Aqua Golf has been in Galwey’s family for 30 years. The business was established, but closed, when her father, Dave Nelson, bought it in 1985 and reopened it. Dave and his wife, Sherry, ran the business until 2005, when the Galweys stepped in. The range is tied to some classic North State history. It is situated on what used to be a rock and gravel quarry on riverfront land owned by the Kutras family. Aggregate from the quarry was carried to the Shasta Dam construction site on a massive 9.6-mile-long conveyor belt that was anchored at what is now Turtle Bay Exploration Park. When the dam was completed, the late Bob Spaid, a visionary developer, acquired the leases from the Kutras family and started work on a Polynesian-themed village and recreation area on Park Marina Drive. His dreams of a monorail and a pod of floating boathouses never quite materialized, but his iconic Round House (just south of the Highway 44 bridge), a row of pecky cedar A-frame homes and Aqua Golf still stand as testament to his quirky legacy. The secret to Aqua Golf is the use of non-toxic, low-compression golf balls (they’re about 20 percent less dense than conventional golf balls) that float. A 3-foot mesh curtain suspended from floating barrels keeps the balls corralled. A floating metal target, shaped like a smiling beaver, is stationed about 60 yards from the tee boxes. Golfers who are either skilled enough or lucky enough to hit the target are rewarded with a small bucket of

balls. Galwey says it happens about once a day. Brett Gibson usually has the responsibility for retrieving the balls, using a motorized skiff, a long-handled net and five-gallon plastic buckets. It can be a tedious process when the balls get tangled up in algae and plants; when a breeze moves the balls into a corner of the range, it’s a much easier task. Otters, muskrats and beavers have been known to gnaw on balls, but Galwey says the biggest dent in the inventory is caused by golfers who are able to bash balls over the barrier and into the main stem of the river. Despite their penchant for chewing, the otters, beavers and other river wildlife are welcome at Aqua Golf. Tilda and Drake, a couple of Mallards, have made the driving range their home away from home and a certain blue jay always seems to know when some corn has been left on top of the vending machine that dispenses golf balls. Bald eagles and osprey are frequent visitors to Aqua Golf and their appearance always brightens the day, Galwey says. What’s her favorite part of the business? “The view, the birds and the wildlife. I never get tired of it. Sitting here on the water is fantastic. And the people! They’re always happy. I love watching the kids learn to play right in front of you.” Geoffrey Wild, a teaching professional, enjoys watching his clients learn the fundamentals at Aqua Golf and frequently brings them to the river’s edge for golf lessons. He says he likes the targets and how easy it is for his students to see exactly where the ball lands. “And when it’s 110 out, it’s 100 degrees here. It’s a little cool spot.”• Aqua Golf • 2275 Park Marina Dr., Redding • (530) 244-4653 Find them on Facebook

the light
TA K E A T O U R O F C O A S TA L L I G H T H O U S E S THE UNKNOWN WORKS upon our imagination in strange ways. Our subconscious once filled the blank spaces of our maps with the images of our worst fears and hidden longings, of terrible beasts and cities of made of gold. Long ago we shed light on the darkest places and plumbed the deepest depths, but we found no El Dorados, no Leviathans. We’ve since filled those blank spaces with the neat lines of geography, but we are still pushed and pulled by the dark of night and the depth of the ocean – they are still home to our hidden terrors and hopes. For all our technological advancements, these elements still remain powerful symbols, mysteries ever hanging on the horizon. Who hasn’t watched the sun dip beneath the perceivable western edge of the ocean without mixed feelings? We may sometimes like to dip our toes in the water or walk a stretch in the dark, but we never delve far into either without a lifesaver or a lantern. Nowhere do these symbols of depth and dark play upon our emotions more powerfully than along the California coastline – especially along its rugged northern coast, where rocks and redwoods race toward ocean’s crashing waves. For centuries, these competing forces have collided, creating perilous promontories and deadly cliffs:
deathtraps by night, but in the light of day their danger is belied by the beauty of sweeping coastlines and beguilingly calm waters. In these places, too often and too late, ships have been lulled by false calm or poor vision. During dark nights, while pinching the surface of unfathomable depths, ships have found hidden rocks, which punctured hulls and took lives. So from wood and concrete, we’ve built relatively fragile structures, mere dining table candles to stand sentry and signpost between the known and unknown. Like fortresses, lighthouses dot the border between land and sea, day and night. They cling to cliffs, marking the farthest visible extent of our continent, the very tips of our grasp upon land – like the fingernails of our civilization’s reach. Predictable even in the most unpredictable environments, lighthouses represent calm amidst storm, safety in perilous places. The only way to fully appreciate their significance, perhaps, is from the deck of a windblown ship striving for shore. But those lanterns, whether seen from sea or sand, from danger or safety, seem to flash indifferently. Like metronomes, they beat regularly regardless of history’s tune.4 continued on page 56

Though every lighthouse shares a general shape and symbolizes something similar to each sailor, they also possess their own personalities. Their beams don’t just illuminate the ebb and flow of the tides, but also the course and rhythm of their local histories. The Northern California lighthouses illuminate the histories of the state’s three northernmost counties. In Del Norte, Humboldt and Mendocino counties, nine lighthouses were built roughly between 1850 and 1910. Some were built to protect ships that sailed the opium route between China and San Francisco; others were built to protect the ships that harbored close to the lumber mills throughout the coastal redwoods. By following a dot-to-dot course from Crescent City to Point Arena, visitors can experience the different visual and

historical perspectives provided by these coastal lanterns. As northern and southern bookends, St. George Reef and Point Arena lighthouses couldn’t offer starker contrasts. St. George Reef is an inhospitable five-story concrete tower that rises from the water like a submarine periscope, sitting atop a wave-washed rock six miles from shore. About 250 miles to the south, Point Arena Lighthouse shines from the relatively peaceful flat of a grass-covered bluff. Whereas St. George has been closed and abandoned since 1975, Point Arena is still active, and allows guests to rent the keeper’s quarters and assistants’ cottages. Long before electricity, lighthouse keepers lived onsite, earning the nickname “wickies” for their continual trimming of lantern wicks. But with automated systems, and the aid of a Fresnel lens, a two-inch 200-watt bulb can project 14 miles out to sea. Lighthouse maintenance has become minimal, and “keepers” usually live offsite. But not California’s northernmost active lighthouse – Battery Point has been a continuous live-in lighthouse since it was first built in 1856. The cape cod style lighthouse, essentially a livable home with a short lantern peaking from its roof, sits atop a small isthmus in the Crescent City harbor. Otherwise accessible by a sand bar, the isthmus becomes an island twice a day during high tide. Volunteers, however, still live in Battery Point – for month-long periods – and provide tours of the living quarters. For the history alone, the tour is worth the $34 continued on page 58

donation, but the view from the lantern is priceless: northward, the view of rocks jutting from the ocean, wrapped in fog, and the southward sweep of forested hills. Farther south into Humboldt County is California’s very own “blank space on the map,” a secluded swath of coast as beautiful as it is isolated. The Lost Coast is home to California’s most westward curves and most untouched beaches. At its northern end, just south of Petrolia, at least eight ships sank between 1899 and 1907, the last of which claimed 87 lives. In response to these wrecks, the Punta Gorda lighthouse was built. Known as the “Alcatraz of lighthouses,” Punta Gorda was considered an exile for lighthouse keepers, who lived self-sufficiently under the most extreme and unpredictable weather conditions. Unlike most lanterns built high atop bluffs and cliffs, this squat concrete structure rests at the foot of a sloping hill, as though bunkering against the elements. The rusted boilers of the St. Paul lie buried in the sand, around which sea lions regularly bark and play. Deactivated since 1951, Punta Gorda is now a landmark for hikers along the Lost Coast Trail, within the Kings Range National Conservation Area, accessible only by a four-mile hike from the Matolle trailhead. Farther south in Mendocino County is Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, as far different from Battery Point as from Punta Gorda. Walking along the bluff toward the point on which it rests, Point Cabrillo emerges from the fog like a white-steeple church, with a lantern for a cross. Punta Gorda is secluded by a four-mile hike, and Battery Point secluded by the rising tides, but Point Cabrillo seems secluded only by wide-open space. About 100 feet above the surf with nothing but gray, blue horizon to the west, Point Cabrillo paints a solitary figure, peaceful and quiet. Here, like Point Arena, the keeper’s quarters and assistants’ cottages are available to rent, only 100 yards from the lantern. A row of Cypress trees serves as both windbreaker and screen from the light, but it’s almost not wanted. Walking along the bluff at night, the periodic beam illuminates the fog, revealing its layers and depth. In 10-second intervals, the light would flare and shine upon a grazing deer, casting its shadow against the fog. In the dark the waves sounded both deceptively far and dangerously near. The lighthouse is also open to visitors who would walk the halfmile from the parking lot, and while the lantern isn’t regularly available for tours, the building doubles as a museum that is open from sunrise to sunset.
There are more lighthouses to be found throughout Del Norte, Humboldt and Mendocino counties – Battery Point, Punta Gorda and Point Cabrillo simply highlight the diversity of their design and the personalities of their unique landscape. But there is something symbolically unifying about these structures, how they rise above the ocean, as though to defy its depths, and how their lights pierce the night, as though to offer a destination in the dark. But the ocean doesn’t need a lighthouse to illuminate its beauties and dangers, or a view from its lantern to suggest its immeasurable breadth. Similarly, we don’t need a symbolic or historic understanding of a lighthouse to appreciate its beauty and elegance, how it stands atop a cliff, lonely but secure over the expanse of water. These things aren’t necessary, but like the far reach of these lanterns, they shed a special light on our experience of the coast, offering a unique perspective and opportunity to see things that we otherwise might have missed. •

FIRE PATROL YO U T H F I R E S E T T E R P R E V E N T I O N A N D I N T E R V E N T I O N
ON A WARM EVENING IN MAY, a group of teenagers in a Shasta College classroom listens carefully as a convicted arsonist talks about how his life has changed since he served seven years in prison for his crime. “I have to register as an arsonist for life. Every time I want to move, I have to tell my landlord I’m a convicted arsonist. My freedom is over.” This is just one aspect of a new program designed to keep youthful firesetters from becoming habitual firesetters. “People don’t realize there’s such a problem around here,” says Jennifer Shaw, a youth peer court coordinator with the Youth Violence Prevention Council of Redding. “But half of all fires in our area are lit by juveniles playing with matches and lighters.” Shaw brings a personal passion to fire prevention. She and her daughter survived a non-arson apartment fire eight years ago. “Being treated in a burn unit is horrific,” she tells the kids assembled for their sessions. She shows slides of herself and her daughter in the burn unit, and emphasizes the huge impact it had on her family. Along with J.T. Vulliger, battalion chief for Cal Fire, and Patrick O’Connor, a Redding Fire Department investigator, Shaw started a simple education course earlier this year for juvenile firesetters. In February, Shaw and O’Connor attended a training in Sacramento
and developed the two-evening Youth Firesetter Prevention and Intervention course. “Eighty-five percent of kids who start fires will continue with it unless they enter a diversionary program,” says Shaw. The program is mandatory for the kids and their families, and this first session recorded 100 percent attendance. Youth who complete the academy can avoid a juvenile criminal record. Different classes are designed for ages 5 through 18 and for parents. Children ages 5 through 10 are taught about smoke detectors, staying away from matches and lighters and how to make an escape plan. They’re asked to really think about who was affected by the fire they or their sibling set. Course content for 11- to 14-year-olds includes learning about the penal codes for firesetting, problemsolving and handling peer pressure. Homework includes writing an apology letter to a victim of their fire, and filling out three pages of questions such as who was present at the fire, whose idea it was, what was used to light it, what was burned and what made the juvenile think using fire was okay. No question can be left unanswered, and the emphasis is on fully admitting to the wrongdoing and recognizing that their own choices brought them there.4 continued on page 62

August Is National Immunization Awareness Month
BACK-TO-SCHOOL Health Tips Make sure your school-aged children are ready and healthy for the school year with a physical & eye exam. School entry may also require children be up-to-date on immunizations. Let your health care provider know if you have any questions or concerns about the vaccines your child is scheduled to receive. In 2013-2014, nearly 550,000 (90 percent) of California kindergartners were fully immunized, with the remainder typically lacking just one or a few required vaccines. VACCINES STOP ILLNESS In the United States, vaccines have reduced or eliminated many infectious diseases that once routinely killed or harmed many infants, children, and adults. Some diseases
are becoming rare largely because we have been vaccinating against them. We don’t vaccinate just to protect our children. We also vaccinate to protect our grandchildren and their grandchildren. If we keep vaccinating now, parents in the future may be able to trust that diseases like polio and meningitis won’t infect, cripple or kill children. Keeping up-to-date immunization records for your family, especially your children, is important. You will need your children’s immunization records to register them for school, child care, athletic teams, and summer camps or to travel. Check the CDC recommended immunization schedule for newborns to teens. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN Getting children all of the vaccines recommended is one of the most important things

Older teens are confronted with more detailed exercises, including an examination of “thinking errors” – excuses people use to avoid responsibility for their actions. An extensive conversation is held about showing respect for peers and adults. They also hear from the convicted arsonist. Susan Morris Wilson, executive director of the Youth Violence Prevention Council, emphasizes that the agency’s approach is not about punishment, it’s about restorative justice – the concept that the kids and families need to be accountable for their actions and make it right with those they have harmed. Parents of the youthful firesetters are required to attend the academy along with their children; siblings are strongly encouraged to attend, too. Wilson leads the class for parents and lays out some of the basic steps of the Positive Parenting Program: create a safe, interesting environment; have a positive learning environment; have reasonable expectations and use assertive discipline. “If you know where your kids are, who they’re with and what they’re doing, they probably aren’t setting fires,” Wilson tells them. She teaches parents how to hold a family meeting, set up behavior contracts and reward good behavior. A key problem, she believes, is cell phone use. “I spend a lot of time talking about management of cell phones. Kids shouldn’t sleep with their cell phone. It’s isolating. Their whole world becomes that screen. And as adults, we’re setting a bad example.”
Shaw emphasizes that putting the course on is a team effort, with firefighters from the Shasta Arson Task Force committed to helping with the classes. “The firefighters see it from the front lines and are all very passionate about this program,” she says. “We really believe we’re making a difference in the lives of these kids.” •

rancheria parents can do to protect their children’s health and that of classmates and the community. Immunization helps prevent dangerous and sometimes deadly diseases. To stay protected against serious illnesses like the flu, measles, and tuberculosis, adults need to get their shots – just like kids do. Schools are required to verify each child’s immunization record to ensure all required vaccinations are current before entry to kindergarten and 7th grade. Make an appointment with their health care provider now so they can protect themselves and their families from infectious diseases. Stay updated on California vaccination regulations as a new law has been passed that would bar children who are unvaccinated for nonmedical reasons from attending public or private schools. To learn more about immunizations required for child care or school, visit shotsforschool.org or call your health care provider today.

RON AND JANE SUESS first looked into one another’s eyes on Half Dome in Yosemite. This meeting was the first step toward marriage and a child who would embody all their love of the outdoors. Their son, Bubba Suess, followed in the steps of John Muir, walking the length and breadth of the wilderness. He became a travel guide to the trails of Northern California. Suess began backpacking at age 5. With the spirit of the early pioneers, his passion turned into hundreds of miles of journeys, where he wrote about the trails and photographed the landscape. His efforts culminated in a website and are now producing a series of hiking guides, inspiring others to follow in his steps. “My brother is 12 years older than me,” Suess says. “He was already an accomplished outdoorsman when I got started.” Cub Scouts followed into Boy Scouts and Suess began a regiment of monthly forays into the California wilderness. The Eagle Scout pushed on to college, then during graduate school in Texas, he discovered a new love for the trails of the southwest. “In school, I did a lot of writing and researching for classes which seemed tedious,” Suess says. “I’d go to hike, and there would be no information. I begin to research and write on everything I would do and find outdoors, filling a vacuum inside me.” Suess found the writing complemented his trail work. Armed with his journals and photographs, he took to the Internet and began to add to a website driven by user content. The next seven years, he added his work to the sites of others. In 2013, Suess4 continued on page 66

started his own website: hikemtshasta.com. This choice changed his focus. “I wanted to show people the opportunities for big and small adventures,” Suess says.
“I WANTED TO SHOW PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIG & SMALL ADVENTURES.” Suess’ shelves are filled with a healthy number of Falcon Guides, a chief publisher of hiking literature. His website attracted the attention of a Falcon publisher who approached Suess and asked him to write a guide on the Mount Shasta area, to be followed up by a guide on the Napa Wine Country. While Suess had walked and documented trails in the Mount Shasta area, he began a series of trips into the Napa region to hike, record and prepare the maps and descriptions to guide future hikers. Every bit of trail in his guides, he walked. “The fun part of the guide is going out on the trail: taking the pictures, developinge descriptions, and identifying the places for
"THE MOUNTAINS ARE CALLING AND I MUST GO. JOHN MUIR the descriptions and identifying the places for the cartographers to place on the maps,” Suess says. “An individual trail may have more than 100 things to mark for the map. The challenge is to create a fresh picture in words of each place.” Hiking the trails has brought many unforgettable experiences. “Once I was hiking in the southwest and a Native American appeared in front of me on his horse,” Suess says. “I learned he lives and roams the trails there. I felt as if I had been transported into the 19th century.” Suess’ Falcon Guide on Mount Shasta was just published and is available online and in local bookstores. The Napa guide will come out this fall. As the screen saver behind Suess moves through the hundreds of scenic pictures he has taken, Suess reflects, “I want each book to take people to where I’ve been. If not in person, I want them to enjoy being there through my words, take the journey I’ve been on and see what I have seen.” • www.hikemtshasta.com

REDDING’S JESSICA DELANEY JESSICA DELANEY HAS A LENGTHY JOB TITLE: City of Redding and Shasta County Homeless Continuum of Care Council coordinator. More simply: a leader in helping. The 41-year-old heads a collaborative effort to end homelessness. That’s a huge challenge, but it’s not Delaney’s only leadership effort. She also is active in Redding Elks. She was exalted ruler last year – only the second woman to hold the top job in Redding. “She is an extremely bright, articulate lady,” says longtime Redding Elks board member Mary Payne. She says Delaney considers various perspectives and is able “to balance things for the good of all.” Balancing is something Delaney does quite a bit. A single mom with a 16-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter, her Homeless Continuum of Care job involves coordination with several nonprofits and charities and contracting as a consultant for Redding and Shasta County. “We have a lot of groups involved that touch homelessness, poverty or mental illness,” Delaney says. She coordinates meetings, compiles data required for federal housing monies and other funding, and oversees a one-day homeless census every January. Last summer, Delaney visited homeless camps with Redding Police through a project to gain a better picture of who was living there and why. “The ultimate goal was to connect resources available with those hard-to-reach populations, and to connect law enforcement with our service providers,” Delaney says. Police Chief Robert Paoletti praised Delaney’s community connections. “She is doing her best to get everyone working in the same direction,” he says. He also appreciates Delaney’s commitment to work toward solving homelessness, not enabling it. “It’s not my goal to make homelessness comfortable,” Delaney says. “I am very passionate about wanting to see the number of homeless individuals decreasing.” The homeless label covers people living in camps, motels, automobiles, shelters and on the couches of friends. Poverty, drug abuse and mental illness are among the reasons people end up homeless. “I cannot find one certain commonality that would be a thread between all homeless individuals,” Delaney says. “Every single person I’ve encountered has a big mess on their hands.”4 continued on page 70 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 69
“ I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE CHAMPIONS WHO DO OUTREACH EVERY DAY.”
She works to connect homeless people with services – housing assistance, job skills, drug rehabilitation, mental health care. “We need to be connecting to things available in this community so we can be a healthier community,” she says. Shelter workers, food bank volunteers, receptionists and mental health providers are among the many working hard to make things better, Delaney says. “I can’t say enough about the champions who do outreach every day.” Delaney coordinates Project Healthy Community (formerly Project Homeless Connect) at the Redding Civic Auditorium. The one-day event – Sept. 1 this year – typically draws 1,000 people struggling with poverty, although many are not homeless, Delaney says. Haircuts, eye exams, hygiene items and assistance with identification cards, veteran benefits, child care and other services are offered. Those who volunteer are moved by the gratitude of those helped, Delaney says. “It is a very heartwarming, very touching and moving experience.” Delaney grew up in Redding, attending Shasta Elementary, Sequoia Middle and Shasta High schools and Shasta College. “Ever since I was a kid, I had a heart for those who struggle,” she says.
At age 19, she got a job at Shasta County Opportunity Center helping the developmentally disabled. She coached Special Olympics swimming and worked in a group home for women with disabilities. Delaney was with Northern Valley Catholic Social Service for 15 years doing different jobs, including working in programs to help families in hotels and individuals with mental illness. She has been coordinator of Homeless Continuum of Care since 2010. Delaney joined Redding Elks a few years ago following an invitation to visit the pool with her children. She envisioned a retreat and place to be anonymous, but within a year she was lodge chaplain. Delaney is drawn to decision-making roles and liked leading the lodge last year as exalted ruler. “It was like a full-time evening job. I really enjoyed it. They sent me all over,” she says. The walls of the Redding lodge, which was chartered in 1908, feature decades of photographs of exalted rulers, often also community leaders. Delaney says she’s honored to have her photograph join the long line of people drawn to leadership and commitment to community. •

IN THE EARLY ‘80S, San Francisco-based singer, guitarist and songwriter Chris Isaak formed a rockabilly-influenced band which caught the attention of record producer Erik Jacobsen, who helped him score a record contract with Warner Brothers Records. His best-known song became “Wicked Game.” Since then, Isaak has released 11 collected works, his most recent, “Beyond the Sun,” a tribute to those who recorded in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll at Memphis’ historic Sun Studio. The idea for the project came after Isaak read an interview with Sun Studio founder Sam Phillips, who first recorded musical acts like Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison,
T
R
E
BB King, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Phillips opened Sun in 1950 with the goal of capturing the pure, raw energy of the Memphis Beale Street music scene. In the interview, Phillips, who passed away in 2003, cited Isaak’s music as a personal favorite. “Reading that brought tears to my eyes, because what Sam produced in that small recording studio influenced me to become the musician I’ve become today,” Isaak says. “Having made a lot of records of my own, I finally decided to make a cover album of early rock tunes that I had been singing and playing at practices, sound checks and in my house all these years.”4 continued on page 74
AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 73
With his retro look, people in the early days of his music career had accused Isaak of being a 1950s throwback. “There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, ‘You want to be Elvis,’ and I would say, ‘No’. (My records) were about my life, not about nostalgia. It was finally the right time. I had put out enough work that I could finally not be defined by doing a tribute record.” He admits, though, that he has always been a man out of time. Growing up near San Francisco in a family that had little money, he bought his records and clothes from charity shops. “I played these scratchy records on this scratchy old record player. I was getting all the stuff that people were throwing away so I was always 20 years behind. My generation was listening to the Beatles or the Stones and I’d be listening to Hank Williams or Ernest Stubbs,” he says. “I was listening to all this stuff, hard country and soul music, but I didn’t put any of it together. It was only when I heard the Sun stuff that I had this ‘wow’ moment that everyone in America must have had back in the ‘50s.”
So he called Sun Studio. “The people were like, ‘Oh, yeah, we like your music. You want to come record? OK, well, we do tours during the day, but we could probably knock the last tour off if you could start at like 4 or 5.’ I go, ‘Perfect. We’re musicians, we stay up late.’ And they said, ‘Well, if you get hungry, we’ll give you the keys to the diner next door.’” Isaak calls himself a pragmatic man, but “even I at some point had to recognize there was some magic in there,” he says. “You were in the same space where Howlin’ Wolf and BB King and Elvis had been. Or where Carl Perkins sat at the piano, scared he was going to get sent back to the chicken farm. That room has got more of the history of rock ‘n’ roll in it than any other place on earth. I mean, for God’s sake, you’re sitting in the chair, or you’re standing there singing, and you go, ‘Howlin’ Wolf stood right here. Elvis Presley was here. BB King played his guitar right there. Bill Black was playing bass there.’ And all of a sudden you’re standing there.” • Chris Isaak at the Cascade Theatre August 19 | 7:30 pm

FLIGHT PLAN K AT H L E E N E VA N S B U I L D S A P L A N E CAN A WOMAN with no mechanical experience build an experimental aircraft in less than a lifetime? Kathleen Evans decided to put it to the test and discovered it only took 1,143½ hours. “I have taken apart and put back together a sewing machine, but that does not really qualify one to build an airplane,” says Evans, a visual artist who has exhibited at the Carter House and Main Street galleries and at Anselmo Vineyards. “I have worked primarily from the right side of the brain since age 10.” Involved with aviation since her mid-20s, Evans flew all
over the country in a Cessna 182 with her first husband. “He had gotten his pilot’s license by spinning the books instead of going to ground school,” she says. “I thought, ‘If he can do it, I can do it.’” The detail-oriented learning curve, however, proved too much. “I used to fly flat and level,” she says. “I would focus on a point on the horizon and fall asleep. Invariably, after a couple moments, the nose would be pointing to the ground.” She discontinued her studies but says it nagged at her. Thirty years later, after remarriage to another pilot, her confidence had matured and with her husband’s encouragement, she earned her pilot’s license just before her 60th birthday.4 continued on page 78
AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 77
“IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I’VE EVER DONE,” SAYS EVANS. “IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT BUILDING AN AIRPLANE, START WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG.” The two flew a Piper Tomahawk that she says was “dog slow.” “We wanted more of a cross-country airplane, something faster,” she says. “One option was to buy a homebuilt kit and do it ourselves. It started out as a joint project, but evolved into my project, my plane.” They purchased a Vans RV7 Experimental Homebuilt Aircraft kit and to satisfy FAA requirements, Evans’ husband created a website to document the building process. The site drew an international response from women building planes and those who had wanted to do so, but thought it was too big an undertaking—something Evans understood. “When the first section arrived, we opened it up, spread it all out and said, ‘Oh, my God,’” recalls Evans. “It was aluminum sheet metal with pre-drilled holes and thousands of pieces of hardware, each one numbered on the many pages of inventory sheets.” She collected the pieces, put them in separate bags, numbered and attached them to a large corkboard (“it took me awhile to figure out what to do with it,” she says. “I am a visual person, so I needed to see it all.”). Meanwhile, her husband built assembly benches in their converted basement workshop. After receiving the first part of the kit, the pair attended a one-week course in Oregon. “Of the 15 people in the class, I was the only woman and the only person who had not used hand tools with metal,” says Evans. “I learned as much as I could in that week, but after that it was all on the job.” Few individuals build a kit plane alone from start to finish, since many tasks require two people to complete. Evans worked both partial and full days over the course of five years and her husband provided a

second set of hands, also taking on tasks that she did not wish to learn. “I had a lot of interest in building the plane but not in painting it,” she says, “so he did that and also the electrical hookup.” He helped in other ways, too, by bringing her lunch and taking pictures of the developing plane for the website. When it came to the engine, Evans negotiated an arrangement with the manufacturer that allowed her to work with the mechanic to assemble it. “I wanted a sense of what was involved, how the parts fit together and how they all worked,” she says. “It was totally outside my realm of imagination but the mechanic was patient, happy to explain every step.” She finished the plane in 2012 but when the FAA cleared it for flight, there was one poignant problem: Evans had insufficient experience flying that type of aircraft. She watched from the tarmac, tears streaming down her face, as her husband took the inaugural flight. “It was absolutely thrilling,” she says. “It sounds prosaic, but it was breathtaking, heart-stopping.” After an additional 10 hours of flight instruction, she was newly certified and has taken the plane as far east as Santa Fe, flying over the Grand Canyon en route from Zion. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” says Evans. “If you’re thinking about building an airplane, start when you’re young.” •

A Gathering Space HIGHLANDS RANCH RESORT IN MILL CREEK
IN THE STORY OF MAN VS. NATURE, if man walks away, nature will reclaim its dominance in any given space. Such is the case of the newly opened Highlands Ranch Resort in Mill Creek. What is now the main building was once a 1970s-era private building created for large family and community gatherings, with a huge kitchen and gathering space. Abandoned in the 1980s, surrounding seedlings took to vigorous growth, and within a matter of years, passersby couldn’t see the building for the trees.4 continued on page 82
AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 81
Kevin Wilsey knew it was there, however, and found himself prone to moments of wonder and yearning when he drove by while visiting from Loomis. Having grown up in Cottonwood in a family that escaped to Mill Creek for vacations, he had attended some of the gatherings at the building and had fond memories of his childhood escapades there. “That’s how I know the area so well,” he says. When the day came that he drove by with his brother and found a “For Sale” sign on the property, he knew it was time to move that wonder toward action. The initial call set in motion a multi-year journey of negotiating the land sale from the Nature Conservancy, clearing trees from around the building, extensive restoration and the addition of seven boutique cottage units that blend in with the surrounding environment. When Highlands Ranch Resort opened in June of this year, it was as a labor of love and a challenge to the building sensibilities of Wilsey, a contractor and owner of Discovery Doors in Rocklin, and his partner, Wendy Rehberg, who has trained herself as the innkeeper. “All of the lumber in this building, for the most part, was milled on the property,” says Wilsey, who just couldn’t part with the wood during the main building’s transformation into a stunning resort that honors its sense of place while emitting a sense of high style and luxury. “We literally had to strip every wall,” he says. “Pretty much the whole building has been repurposed one way or the other.” Half the fun of exploring the resort is finding the small details that add up to an overall sense of surprise. An old gate post became the legs of the reception area, complete with rusted metal rings and moss clinging to the wood; the massive double doors of the entry way were created from old deck boards. Above the bar hangs a black wrought iron chandelier that the couple commissioned to add a wow factor that matched the rustic yet elegant theme of the place. The resort building houses An Artisan’s View, a fullservice restaurant under the direction of chef Joe Symmes of Chico; a full bar; and a banquet room for private gatherings of up to 120 people.
82 | ENJOY AUGUST 2015
The five cottages around the main building have been designed for views that take in the surrounding Childs Meadows, and to provide privacy for their occupants. Two buildings are large and can be split to accommodate two parties, or opened up to be one big home for larger groups. The remaining three buildings are designed as romantic getaways. Tying the buildings together is a fire pit in the middle of the walkways leading to each cottage. It welcomes occupants to come out and enjoy the community of the resort and the stunning night sky. For as much as Wilsey and Rehberg have done to create a beautiful place of welcome and relaxation, they also know the surrounding beauty of Mill Creek and Lassen Volcanic National Park are the real draw to the area. “We want people to get out, enjoy the park, go fishing, enjoy the lake and then come back here and relax,” says Wilsey. After much debate, they even decided not to put TVs in the bar so that guests can truly unplug and get away from it all. As he stops to reflect on the time, effort and details it’s taken to get to his opening day, a period of more than five years that included him selling his 5-acre property and home in Loomis, Wilsey says, “It was a pretty big leap of faith.” But he adds, “This has always been a dream.” The story of Highlands Ranch Resort rewrites the narrative of man vs. nature to one that finds man and woman in harmony with nature, able to appreciate the wonders of forests, meadows and mountains while attending to the human need to unwind and rejuvenate in beauty.

FASHION TRENDS
| BY KIMBERLY BONÉY
FASHION TRENDS S U M M E R -TO - FA L L WA R D R O B E T R A N S I T I O N S NORTH STATE RESIDENTS ARE BLESSED with warm, balmy summer days that often extend far past the typical Labor Day summer cut-off. What favorite summer staples can stand up to the gradually cooler days and nights? Here’s a guide to transitioning your wardrobe with style, sass and pizzazz. KEEP Maxi dresses, maxi skirts, shorts of all kinds, loose fit pants, chambray tops, denim or plaid button-downs, lace blouses, bright colors, floral prints, polka dots and gladiator sandals are all typical benchmarks of summer, but these lovelies can do double duty in the fall. Finding fresh ways to wear what you’ve got is more than just an opportunity to flex your style prowess. It ultimately translates to more money in the budget for a fashion splurge or an opportunity to squirrel away some cash for a rainy day. STASH That white cotton eyelet dress, white ballet flats and “barely there” sandals are fabulous in summer, but may be a bit too hard to pull off as the air begins to chill. Stash them until next spring. They are classic enough to wait patiently while you play with some other pieces in your closet. ADD A LONG-SLEEVED LACE BLOUSE: A sweet and sexy lace top adds even more femininity to a short summer A-line dress when paired with a slim belt. Make sure the blouse is loose fitting enough to give you some breathing room. A peplum-style blouse works best, but don’t count out a button-front version or a lacy buttonless duster. Ballet flats or classic closed-toe pumps will keep it sumptuously girly, but you can add a bit of edginess with an ankle- or calf-length boot in soft brown or black. A SLOUCHY CROPPED SWEATER: This baby can extend the life of your favorite summer dress or pair of shorts. Just be sure the layer underneath is lean to eliminate the bulk factor. A CARDIGAN: This timeless and elegant wonder gets a sassy update when paired with a short summer dress, a thin belt and a coordinating boot in any height. Add to the cool factor of your look by using the left over belt length to create a whimsical cross-knot. A BLAZER: We can’t stress enough how versatile a blazer cropped or elongated - can be, particularly in navy, charcoal or black. It works fabulously with a vibrantly colored maxi dress and instantly adds structure to your favorite pair of shorts, jeans or loose fit pants. Want to have jaws drop as you walk by? Have the confidence to wear the blazer draped over your shoulders in the style of a cape and you’ll get your wish. A SCARF: This is the no-brainer way of stretching out your summer ensemble. Go as thin or as thick as the weather requires, but do opt for a variety of textures and colors. Nowadays, they are easily accessible and very reasonably priced, so there is no reason not to give yourself options in this department. 4 continued on page 86 AUGUST 2015 ENJOY | 85
LEATHER JACKET: Be it moto-inspired or a vintage classic cut, this piece will stand the test of time. Pairing well with a variety of ensembles, it’s the perfect balance to a sweet floral summer dress, or the rocker-esque element that will make your favorite shorts, jeans or pants shine. TIGHTS: Lacy, textured or opaque, this fashion accessory can turn virtually any summer staple into a fall-ready stunner. Imagine your favorite pair with a dress and boots, ballet flats or mile-high stilettos. They’ll keep you warm and add some heat to your ensemble, too.
LEGGINGS: These are paramount to every woman’s wardrobe. If you need something a bit thicker than a pair of tights, these will do the trick. If you need them for warmth but don’t want them to show, wear them under a maxi dress to prevent a draft. A STYLISH HAT: Fall presents the perfect opportunity to up your hat game. Try a slouchy knit beanie, a wool beret or a structured fedora in place of the beach-friendly floppy little number you’ve been rocking all summer and you’ll make some fashion waves, for sure. BOOTS AND BOOTIES: In 2015, all around the world, you’re likely to see ladies donning a pair of cropped boots, even in the dead of summer. But the fall, dear friends, is fair game for boots of every variety. Don’t be afraid to pair these with your summer dresses and shorts for a fresh summer-to-fall look. Invest in a few pairs in a variety of heights and colors to diversify your options. Cognac and black will expand your wardrobe, but a sassy pair in nude or charcoal gray will offer a fresh perspective while making your options virtually limitless. • Kimberly N.

August Recipe As in one of my favorite movies of all time, Forrest Gump, I’ll quote Bubba: “Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich… that’s about it.”

However, one great way to prepare shrimp was missed in that quote, and that would be a marinated shrimp appetizer which is also great served over a bed of spinach for a salad entree or tossed with angel hair pasta as a main entrée. Whichever way you choose to serve this shrimp dish, I think you are going to love it!
Enjoy!
M A R I N AT E D S H R I M P Serves: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. shrimp (15 to 20 count), peeled and deveined, tails removed (pre-cooked frozen can be used – see below for use) Pinch of salt 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced ½ yellow bell pepper, diced 1 small shallot, minced 1 T minced garlic 1 rib celery, minced 1 lemon, juiced 2 tsp. capers 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes 1 T finely chopped fresh basil leaves 2 T extra virgin olive oil ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper ½ tsp. finely grated ginger 1 medium bunch fresh basil, stems removed
STEP 1: Bring 3 quarts of water and a pinch of salt to a boil over high heat in the saucepan. Add the shrimp, lower the heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 1 minute. Drain the shrimp and cool them to room temperature. (If using pre-cooked frozen shrimp, allow to thaw completely in refrigerator. Once thawed, rinse and drain completely.) STEP 2: Combine the tomato, bell pepper, shallot, garlic, chopped basil, celery, lemon juice, capers, oil, flakes, salt and black pepper in the bowl with a metal spoon. Add the cooled shrimp, toss well, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. As the shrimp marinate, they get more garlicky. STEP 3: Drain the shrimp, re-season with additional salt and black pepper, and arrange them on a platter.
TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes PREP: 4 hours, 20 minutes - 6 hours 20 minutes

SURF'S UP, DUDE! by Billy Pilgrim
We had a saying when I lived in San Diego. “Pacific Beach is pretty bad, Mission Beach is mighty bad, but Ocean Beach is Oh! Bad!” I don’t know where that saying comes from originally, or what it means exactly, but it has always stuck with me. San Diego was the location of my first paying radio job, and I was fortunate to live in the most relaxed hippie/beatnik/surfer community of Ocean Beach on the peninsula of Point Loma. It is only seven miles over the hill to downtown San Diego, but it is a world all its own and has remained essentially unchanged for the last 35 years. I like to think of it as “the town time forgot.” Once known as the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego, the town attracted free spirits to the world famous “The Black” smoke shop. The same people have been working in it since 1975. So much of Newport Avenue remains unchanged. In fact, Hodad’s was established in 1969, featured on “Drive Ins, Diners and Dives” in 2007, and remains the same in 2015. They have the biggest burgers I have ever seen. I spent an awful lot of time on the OB Pier when I was in my 20s. It is the longest concrete pier on the West Coast and open 24 hours a day. Dog Beach is a couple of hundred yards to the north, where dogs can run leash free. I used to run my
lab, Blue, there all of the time. It was one of the first beaches of its kind when it was established in 1972. Just south of Ocean Beach is Point Loma, home to Fort Rosecrans National Military Cemetery the views are absolutely breathtaking. Cabrillo National Monument is at the very tip of Point Loma, on top of the highest point, and commemorates the landing of Juan Cabrillo in San Diego Bay in 1542. From the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, you can see the Coronado Islands, Tijuana and all of San Diego Harbor. I’ve heard that “you can’t go home again,” but I did last November, and it felt like I had never left. The good beach vibes washed over me, and I felt so peaceful, relaxed and happy. That was the best! OB is “Oh! Beautiful”! It’s the coolest place I know. For more on Ocean Beach and Point Loma, visit OceanBeachSanDiego.com. Check out the beach live at Surfline.com/surf-report-sd.

San Francisco’s Red Brick Studio began when a group of friends and acquaintances felt a need to find more space to pursue their ceramic art. The studio’s name comes from the red bricks that line some of the walls in the studio. It has been operating for five years and has had many changes both in occupants and in the type of work they do. Seven of the 18 artists in the studio, each with a special approach to their view of the world, will be showing their work at Siskiyou Arts Museum.

Sit under the shade of a tree as you pore over the pages of a book by a local author. Let your mouth water with the thought of a luscious summer salad sprinkled with the perfect combination of locally grown olive oil and robust balsamic vinegar. Gaze up at a stunning sun catcher and watch her rays dance across the floor in infinite patterns of light. Treasure every moment of the lazy last days of summer and let Enjoy the Store help you make the most of it all.

ANIMAL RESCUE FA R M S A N C T U A R Y I N O R L A N D
Mario the steer, a 10-year Orland resident, was on his way to the rendering plant when the driver had a change of heart. Ferdinand the sheep, dubbed the “pear thief ” because he ate from a neighbor’s fruit tree, was rescued from impending death and sentenced to (a happy) life at the sanctuary. “We have feral sheep that came off the Santa Cruz Island,” says Bauer, “and we have calves born on dairy farms that were not useful to the farmer.” In spite of the harshness he has witnessed, Bauer believes everyone possesses kindness, as evidenced by Mario’s story. Caregiving teams handle all of the animal health care and almost all of the feeding. “They get 24-7 care and many of them receive a.m. and p.m. medications,” says Richmond. “Each animal is examined daily, which is what sets Farm Sanctuary apart from other shelters.” In Orland, three staff houses shelter the on-site caregivers, and an intern house sees a revolving roster of international unpaid volunteers eager for the experience. “I’ve seen a wide range as far as their educational pursuits,” says Richmond. “They come mostly because they care about animals and want to learn more about advocacy on behalf of farm animals.” As bucolic as sanctuary life can be, animals are much like people: they do not always get along. Roosters represent the biggest challenge, and goats on the outs sometimes head butt through the gate, says Richmond, whose farm team separates animals as necessary and handles all farm repairs, construction and clean up. “Pigs and cows more easily learn their places and cooperate,” he adds with a chuckle. For Richmond, a Farm Sanctuary supporter before becoming an employee, this is his dream job. “I manage all of the facilities and I get to rescue animals, too,” he says. “It is great to see them live out their lives healthy and happy, the way they were meant to live. I’m proud of the work I do.”• PHOTO BY CONNIE PUGH
AUTUMN THE GOAT IS a very different goat today than the one that arrived in 2013 at Farm Sanctuary in Orland. He has become a bona fide member of the herd, happily one goat among many, a lover of mealtimes and his caregivers. “He was found bound and gagged in a ditch,” says Chad Richmond, Farm Sanctuary’s national facilities manager. “He was able to get the tape off his mouth and bleat. A PG&E worker found him and he was taken to an animal control shelter in the Bay Area that contacted us.” Richmond describes Autumn as so afraid of people that he hid in a corner barn stall for several weeks. “He was very uncomfortable with the caregivers or anyone else coming around him,” says Richmond. “After a few weeks, he started to come out of his shell, so we put him with another goat that was also afraid of people and they bonded.” Co-founded in 1986 by Gene Bauer, Farm Sanctuary offers safe haven to abused and neglected factory farm animals. “We started with donated space in a Wilmington, Del. row house and funded ourselves by selling veggie hotdogs out of our Volkswagen bus at Grateful Dead concerts,” says Bauer, the organization’s president. In 2015, Farm Sanctuary has a $10 million budget funded by more than 200,000 global supporters, compassion farms in New York and California, and counts actor James Franco and comedian Jon Stewart and his family among its supporters. Bauer’s vision of “a place where we rescue and care for farm animals and model a different kind of relationship with them” has been realized. The sanctuaries serve not only as a home to animals from a variety of places and circumstances, but also as educational centers. The New York and Los Angeles sites run multiple guided educational tours daily, while Orland offers self-directed tours. The Orland sanctuary occupies 300 acres of rolling hills overlooking Black Butte Lake and homes 300 rescued animals. Cattle use most of the range, which includes a spring-fed pond, and they sometimes “hang out” for a week before returning to the barn, says Richmond.
