NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LIVING

YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

Every month, we rejoice when we put the finishing touches on all of these pages full of stories, photographs and advertisements that shine light on some of the most wonderful things about the North State. And as soon as we send that issue off to the printer, what do we have? Another stack of new blank pages, waiting to be filled. The new year is much the same. We reflect on the year that is on its way out, and compile our list of resolutions as ZANE PETERSON AND we dream about how we’re going to fill this new chapter of AUTUMN MAY our lives called “2016.” What will your pages include? by Betsey Walton We love watching people follow their dreams, and we’re delighted to give you an update on Christine Silver, who owned the popular Redding eatery Tapas Downtown until she moved to Humboldt County two years ago. Today, her passion for preparing healthy, beautiful food is enjoyed daily by patrons of her two North Coast restaurants. Imagine being the very best of the best at your craft. Up in McCloud is a modern-day Paul Bunyan – Rolin Eslinger, an extreme lumberjack who holds a world record for hand sawing. He’s won numerous national championships in axe throwing and chainsaw work, and his success is the result of practice, tenacity and the will to win. Of similar drive is Kaden Love, an 18-year-old nationally ranked gymnast with his sights set on the Olympics. If you’re looking to learn a little more about the place we call home, have we got a treat for you. Soon, you’ll be able to use your phone to scan square labels on several historical sites downtown and learn more about how they came to be. It’s a joint effort between Shasta Historical Society and Viva Downtown Redding, spearheaded by some folks who are trying to make local history fun and interesting. Take a leap of faith this year. Ask new questions. Dream new dreams. Be there for one another. Here’s to a new year for more on Jack and full of wonder, growth and peace. And, as always, enjoy!

WE'VE

GOT A CODE

FOR THAT

S H A S TA H I S TO R I C A L S O C I E T Y ’ S QR PROJECT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, Redding rresidents and visitors will be able to pass their phones and tablets over computer code mounted on downtown historic buildings to connect to the town’s past. Anyone with a Quick Read (QR) reader will be able to scan a square label in the corner of a window or a plaque mounted in brickwork, and open a web page filled about information about any of eight historical sites. Seven of these locations stand downtown: the Bank of Shasta County, the International Order of Odd Fellows building, the Behrens-Eaton House and Museum, The Lorenz Hotel, the Cascade Theater, Old City Hall and the Shasta Historical Society building. The eighth attraction is the Diestelhorst Bridge, a bit of a walk north of downtown. Visitors to a linked web page will have access to two different media to learn about that location’s history. Traditionalists will enjoy reading text on the page, detailing the origin of the structure, perhaps its builders and occupying businesses, up through the past 100 years or so. Those with more modern tastes may prefer to view a two-minute video of the site’s past, narrated on camera by a gentleman wellknown in late 1800s Redding: James McCormick. Of course, since McCormick died more than a century ago, no video of him exists, so he is portrayed by a present-day player, former Shasta Historical Society board member Mike Grifantini. Naturally white-haired and sporting a snowy goatee, Grifantini represents McCormick in his later years, as a distinguished businessman and owner of the Big Store.4 continued on page 16 JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 15

"I wanted to have a way to share my interest with people and to try to make local history fun, interesting and understandable." -Mike Grifantini Grifantini, a Redding resident for 20 years, became a face in the town’s history about eight years ago, when he started giving walking tours downtown. “I did so because no one else was doing them, or if they did, they charged for the walks,” he says. “I wanted to have a way to share my interest with people and to try to make local history fun, interesting and understandable.” During these tours, he polished the character of McCormick, writing his scripts and carefully selecting his attire. “I have found that while many people like historic tours, when they are led by a person dressed up and acting out a part, it adds to the quality of the event. Then it becomes history, entertainment and fun – all in one.” What became the joint effort between the Shasta Historical Society and Viva Downtown Redding to code historic buildings began when Grifantini and his friend Mike Fish met one day last year. “We were brainstorming at lunch about the appreciation of history and how to convey it to the next generation,” says Grifantini. “And he said, ‘Why not use QR code?’” Grifantini and Fish took the idea to the Historic Structures and Facilities Committee, a committee of the Shasta Historical Society board. The society’s archives and collections registrar remembers liking what she heard. “Walking tours of some kind could continue, in case Mike Grifantini could no longer do them,” recalls Nikki Espinosa. “They would bring attention to our most prized, local historic buildings. It would get more people downtown.”

January Is National Blood Donor Month

January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month to encourage donors to give or pledge blood. Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months due to holidays, travel schedules and illness. Whatever the reason, the need is constant and your donation is important for maintaining a healthy and reliable blood supply. Check out these astonishing facts from the American Red Cross. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood, more than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day, and a single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood. Blood cells carry markers called antigens on their surface that determine one’s blood type. Type O blood is the most common type of blood. Type O-negative blood is called the universal donor type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the universal recipient type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type. Blood is in high demand but routinely in

short supply and certain blood types are unique to specific racial and ethnic groups. According to the US National Library of Medicine/ National Institutes of Health, the majority of Native Americans are nearly exclusively in the O group. While the vast majority of blood types fall into one of the major ABO groups, a small percentage of the population have rare blood types and finding someone else with the same blood type compatibility can be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. The slightest reduction in donor turnout could put our nation’s blood inventory at a critical low. Blood donation from all ethnic groups is the “best case” situation at all times—not just in “a time of need” or national emergency. Please take into consideration that blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person – It’s “The Gift of Life”. There is no substitute for human blood, and donating is safe, simple and it saves lives.

Also attending this meeting was Sue Lang, a longtime community volunteer and organizer. She saw generating interest in selected structures as a way to preserve them. “I hope these efforts will ward off any more historic buildings being torn down,” she says. Like other serious volunteers, Lang occupies a seat on more than one committee. She also sits on the design committee of Viva Downtown Redding, which is a National Main Street Organization, designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the State of California, Office of Historic Preservation. On the design committee, Lang linked with Ty Bos, a local videographer self-employed under the name Outlander Creative. He agreed to shoot the video clips of Grifantini’s McCormick pro bono. “I’ve been living in downtown Redding for the majority of my life. This is something I like to do,” he says of his role in the project, which includes providing the QR code. Lang, who serves as producer, says the first eight coded locations could be the beginning of something bigger. “Our roll out will be January 23, with eight historic sites. We’ll see how it goes. If it creates interest, there can be more.” Her personal interest in the project goes beyond preserving antique brick and mortar: “It’s for what the buildings do for us. They remind us of our shared history. That instills in us a pride in our roots.” •

RICH LIVING F I N A N C I A L CO A C H T R I S H A F U N K IT’S YOUR FIRST WEEK OF COLLEGE, and a friendly salesperson in the quad says that if you sign up for this credit card, you’ll get a free blanket. You’d like to start building some credit, and the blanket is awfully cute – so you sign on the dotted line. What the fine print reveals, however, is that your “free” blanket is going to cost you $75 a year in annual fees – even if you never charge a thing on the card. Not so much of a deal, after all. Scenarios like these prompted Redding financial coach Trisha Funk to start hosting unique workshops like the “Mother-Daughter Money Date,” where she aims to empower the next generation of financially savvy women. “Women make decisions differently than men, and finances are no different,” she says. “Finances can be very intimidating. If women can’t understand the power they have in learning to make great financial decisions, they’re at an absolute disability with where they can go in their life.” Funk worked as an investment adviser, insurance agent and stockbroker for more than a decade, but it didn’t quite fit what she really wanted to do. “Clients would come in and

want to invest for the future and create financial stability for themselves and their kids,” Funk says. “They would say, ‘OK, here’s the $100 I can invest in my Roth IRA,’ but they were in debt $40,000 with their credit cards.” So she started a 10-week after-hours “women’s wine group,” where they talked about different financial topics each week. “I’m a social, fun, ‘let’s get together and drink wine’ person, and we can have real conversations that way,” says Funk, who will soon sit for the Certified Financial Planner exam. “This was the stuff that I felt like I was put here to do – to guide people so they could walk into a financial office and make a huge impact on their financial stability.” She quit her corporate job and started her own business almost two years ago, and has since coached people all over the world. Much of her time is spent with local nonprofits and organizations, like the Shasta College Upward Bound program, which requires a financial literacy component. “People have to be educated – and not just on how to do a budget, because the ability to do addition and subtraction isn’t the issue with our finances,” Funk says. “It comes from a completely emotional place. We have this mindset about4 continued on page 20

creating a budget, where you can’t have fun, you can only eat Top Ramen and hot dogs, you can never stop by Starbucks ever again. We need to step into our powerful position to make our own decisions.” In her workshops, she helps people first identify what they want for their future, “then they can make decisions about that $4 Starbucks and $150 cable packages and a vacation to Europe every other year,” she says. “Without that framework, it’s very difficult to make daily decisions about our money, so we blow $4 every day on Starbucks when there might be something that’s actually more important to us.” Michelle Miner took her stepdaughter, 15-year-old Mirabel, to the Mother-Daughter Money Date workshop last year (this year’s workshop will be renamed, since you needn’t be a mother-daughter pair to attend). “There are so many things teenagers don’t want to hear from parents,” Miner says. “This was the perfect format for her to receive really solid, valid information from someone who wasn’t her parent.” Mirabel’s parents had already established a savings account for her, but after the workshop, she opened her own checking and savings account. “She’s been good about not wanting to spend that money,” Miner says. “When she got money for her birthday, she put most of it in savings. She’s understanding

the value of money.” The workshop included other financial experts who discussed debt, credit cards, student loans and the like, and “it was helpful to hear different perspectives,” Miner says. “You can make some really bad financial decisions with some really big repercussions. I want her to be educated on the front end before she’s in that situation.” Knowledge is indeed power, Funk says. “We talk about the ability to change the world,” Funk says. “If you have $100 in your pocket, you can choose to do good with it, but if you don’t have the $100 in your pocket, you can’t. Don’t give up what you ultimately want for what you want right now. And if haven’t identified what you ultimately want, it’s harder to make those decisions proactively.” • www.trishafunk.com www.financeswithfunk.com

N O R T H S TAT E C R E AT I V E S J A C K A N D S U S I E B U R G E S S FROM THE MOMENT SHE FIRST PICKED UP A BRUSH AND began to create, Susie Cooper Burgess had a love affair with painting horses. Her husband, Jack Burgess, grew up in the bluegrass horse country around Lexington and developed a passion for painting Kentucky landscapes. Imagine their pleasant surprise when they arrived in the North State, found themselves driving north on Interstate 5 near Cottonwood and saw horses grazing in pastures and barns dotting the rolling countryside. For artistic inspiration, it was a two-for-one deal they couldn’t pass up. “It felt just like home,” Jack says. Art has remained at the center for the couple and their two daughters, Abigail and Eloise, since their arrival in the summer of 2011. “My first love was horses,” Susie says. “I drew them all the time. Horses, then people.” As a child growing up in New England, she says cramped quarters and limited resources kept her from keeping a horse; once in Redding, she acquired a Morgan horse from a friend and boarded it in Millville.

Susie continues to paint horses. Their size and intensity fit nicely with her penchant for large-scale, high-contrast paintings. One of her latest projects caught the eye of Jean King, executive director at One SAFE Place, and it’s now prominently displayed at the entrance of the organization’s new shelter and office complex on Benton Drive. “She was super moved by this painting and she wanted a powerful, safe, beautiful horse for women to see when they come into One SAFE Place,” Susie says. King says she was searching for a piece of art that would inspire a sense of comfort, confidence and power to victims of domestic abuse who enter the Sierra Center seeking services. “It really struck me. Not only the beauty of the horse but the strength. It has a power that speaks to me and I hope it will to others.” Jack’s art leans to the more nonfigurative side of the ledger, thanks to an affinity for abstract expressionism he developed while studying drawing at Bob Jones University in South Carolina. “I went back to4 continued on page 24 JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 23

Kentucky, took those forms and tied it to nature,” Jack says. Tobacco barns in particular caught his fancy. It was later, as a young art teacher at the Dublin Christian Academy in Dublin, N.H., when Jack took note of a promising student who shared a love, and a talent, for drawing. That teacher and student relationship became a husband-and-wife situation a year after Susie graduated from the academy. “Jack was an amazing art teacher,” Susie recalls. “He was the first teacher to do oil paintings with me.” Jack then branched into his current field as a graphic facilitator— “using images to help people see their ideas and what they’re talking about”—and began working with The Accelerated Solutions Environment in Cambridge, Mass. The couple relocated to Chicago, where Jack continued with his graphic facilitator work before returning to the classroom in 2004 as an art teacher at Wheaton Academy. Susie, meanwhile, completed her degree in studio art at Wheaton College. Redding beckoned in 2011 as a chance to attend Bethel Church and also to delve back into their art careers on a more or less full-time basis, although Jack’s work as a graphic facilitator still requires some travel time each month and Susie has settled in as an art teacher at 24 | ENJOY JANUARY 2016

the new Redding Montessori School. “I’m really trying to make a shift where I’m painting more,” Jack says. Now established in Redding, Jack has also found a way to satisfy his love of building things through the World’s Greatest company, a collaboration he launched with his friend and former Redding resident Brent Van Auken. Jack specializes in making custom skateboards while Van Auken focuses on the renovation of classic motorcycles. Even the humble skateboards, fashioned from locally sourced red oak, are works of art. “It harkens back to the old days of skating,” Jack says of the decks’ simplistic design and reliance on Americanmade components. Susie had done the bulk of her painting, including commissioned portraits, in her kitchen but had to stop when Eloise, 2, grew tall enough to reach the paint. She subsequently created a studio at her friend Katie Walden’s flower-arranging shop called The Floranthropist. • www.jackburgessstudio.com

CREATING THE

SKILLS BUILD TO

T R A N S F E R F LO W, I N C . E Q U I P S STUDENTS FOR CAREERS I N M A N U FA C T U R I N G A PRESS BRAKE SYSTEM isn’t the fanciest machine on the floor of Transfer Flow Inc., a Chico-based manufacturer of after-market fuel systems founded by Bill Gaines. Next to the robot welder and Haas Vertical Machining Center elsewhere on the shop floor, it seems pretty darn simple. Yet it provides a succinct example of a dilemma manufacturers such as Gaines face: to find employees skilled in G-code, the operating system of computers that program just about every major piece of equipment he owns. Although he’s been able to train within, in recent years Gaines has had to hire press brake operators from Washington and Modesto. For a business that has had to add a new building to its facility every four or five years since its beginnings in 1983, this simply won’t do. Especially for someone like Gaines, who holds a missionary-like zeal that manufacturing is the key to economic prosperity for the North State. He buys American-made machinery – that Haas machine was made in Ventura – and he wants to employ North State residents. “It’s our feeling that if we can get our teachers to teach the skills needed in manufacturing, we’ll attract more manufacturing,” he says, citing statistics that manufacturing attracts more money per job to the community than any other, including medical and information technology.4 continued on page 30

JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 29

When a top customer moved to Texas, Transfer Flow’s state-of-the-art laser cutter allowed it to remain competitive with a company in Mexico because improved efficiencies made up for the added expense of shipping a further distance, allowing the company to sell at the same price as when the customer was based in California. Keeping up with new technology, then, allows the business to keep its competitive edge. Finding the right people to run the technology is imperative. So Gaines is going to develop his own. No longer involved in the day-to-day operations of the company – he passed it on to his daughters and their husbands in 2013 – Gaines has made supporting local schools his second act. He’s developing critical support systems, including training and materials, for 12 North State high schools and local community colleges, as well as Chico State University. For Los Molinos agriculture teacher Melissa Stegall, Gaines’ support is informing her entire welding program. “Coming from a new, young teacher’s perspective, it’s amazing I can go to him for information,” she says. “We’re organizing our shop and are getting more of the tools industry uses.” Gaines has been advising on purchases for a recent Pathways grant the school received from Shasta College. For purchases that will remain out of range of the school, such as a laser, Gaines invites advanced students to his shop to work on his equipment. “He’s an amazing asset and resource to the program,” she adds, noting that Gaines has taken a seat on the ag program’s advisory board. “We have a great workforce,” says Gaines. “Our employees want to work. They want to raise their kids here and they want their kids to get jobs here.” As a constantly growing business, Transfer Flow has potential to put many more people to work with living wages. “We ship our product around the world,” he adds, noting that China has become an important market. “We can almost double the fuel range of their vehicles.” After-market fuel systems are necessary for vehicles modified for mobility reasons, to accommodate drivers in wheelchairs, for example. They are also needed in the bodies of wrecker vehicles. In China, they are being installed in large trucks that are now affordable in the growing economy but that can’t be fueled as frequently as needed due to limited availability of gas stations. “We’re a niche market manufacturer,” says Gaines. While his business is niche, he notes that there are more than 150 mini mills in Butte County alone, all of which run off G-code. That’s why Gaines has been so integral to developing a curriculum to teach the code to area teachers. “We’ve got to be able to help with these issues that we deal with every day,” he says. He’s particularly proud of a relationship at Pleasant Valley High School in Chico where the welding teacher and math teacher are working together so students understand algebra

and trigonometry on a practical level as the math behind welding fabrication. “We are getting new business just because we have this laser machine and we know how to do G-code,” he says. Gaines envisions a world where high school and college graduates can step into the world of local manufacturing with the skills needed to immediately go to work. “Even if they can’t find a job locally,” he says. “They have a great skill set to find a job not too far from home.” • www.transferflow.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

R E D D I N G GYM N A S T K A D E N LOV E

KADEN LOVE WAS A TUMBLIN’ FOOL as a toddler and his mother just knew his future included gymnastics. The only hurdle, so to speak, was pointing the youngster in the right direction. “When he was little, he would tumble all over my house,” his mother, Kimmi Patterson, recalls. “He even taught himself to do cartwheels. We wanted him to take classes but he wouldn’t, and then his older brother, Thomas, said he would and Kaden said, ‘Well, I will, too.’” Thomas eventually lost interest and turned his sights toward baseball, but Kaden, at age 7, fell in love with

gymnastics. He started taking a weekly class at Athletics Unlimited in Anderson, working with coach Rene Esparza. Within four months he was competing. As his skills improved, the achievements and accolades began rolling in. By the age of 13, he turned in his best allaround score at the Region 1 gymnastics meet in Oakland (competing against kids his age from California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah), which qualified him for the Junior Olympics National Championships in Long Beach. He has qualified for the nationals five times now, and for three of those championships he was a member of his4 continued on page 34 JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 33

region’s elite team. Last year, his sixth-place performance on the floor was enough to earn him a medal and a 14th-place ranking nationally as an all-around gymnast. Kaden, 18, begins his final season of competition as a high school student this month; nationals are scheduled for May in Fort Worth, Texas. After that, the plan is an undergraduate degree from a university with a NCAA Division I gymnastics program—Kaden has caught the eye of recruiters from the University of California at Berkeley, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa and the United States Naval Academy— and, ultimately, a spot on the U.S. men’s national team and a chance to go for the gold at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. His mother has learned not to underestimate her son’s reach. “He amazes me with his focus and dedication,” Kimmi says. “He leaves me in awe. I could never do what he’s doing.” What drives her son? “It’s fun and it’s challenging. I think part of it is the physical strength it takes to do gymnastics, and then when he’s doing his tumbling or his high-bar exercise, it’s almost like he’s flying. It’s that feeling of freedom, and to be able to push himself to develop these amazing skills. ” Brute strength alone is not enough to master the vault, pommel horse, rings, high bar, parallel bars and the floor routine, Kaden says. “If you’re not strong mentally, your skills won’t grow. This is a sport that takes mind, strength and physical endurance.” Kaden exercises his mind and body on a daily basis. A senior at Shasta Charter Academy, Kaden splits his time between studying at home, attending classes at the Academy and taking a pair of classes at Shasta College. He usually takes a break around 4 pm before heading to the gym and training from 5 to 9 pm. That tireless resolve is just one of Kaden’s redeeming qualities, says Benjamin Claassen, director at Shasta Charter Academy. “When I think about Kaden, I think of a humble young man who is not prideful—he’s actually soft spoken—with a strong work ethic that is demonstrated in his coursework and gymnastics. He has worked very hard and his hard work is paying off. We’re really thrilled for him.”

Kaden attended Grant Elementary through the eighth grade and spent his freshman year at Shasta High—where his four siblings graduated—but switched to Shasta Charter Academy in his sophomore year because its flexible schedule better accommodated his travel and training demands. “We took a tour and we agreed that if any of our kids could handle it, it was Kaden,” says Kimmi, referring to her and Kaden’s stepfather, Chris Patterson. In addition to Thomas Love, Kaden’s siblings are Ian, Hannah and Lindsey Patterson. Kaden’s father is Joe Love. Kaden is all business in school and in the gym. “He’s pretty focused,” says Paul Goedecke of Galaxy Gymnastics Academy, the coach who has been training Kaden for most of the past year after Esparza relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area. “Kaden’s got some good skills and he’s nationally ranked.” For his part, Kaden considers himself “proficient” at all the gymnastics events but says his floor exercise is his strength. Watching a video where he flips, twirls and somersaults in a world where gravity appears to be a mere suggestion does little to cast a doubt on his assessment. Kaden may be confident, calm and composed when he’s competing, but the same can’t be said of his mother. “When he’s competing, I get so nervous for him because I know what his goals and dreams are. He generally doesn’t get nervous at competitions, but I make up for both of us.” •

o b m u G THE NE W ORLE ANS SUSPECTS: A BAND OF REBIRTH FUNK MUSIC has been recognized as a heavily syncopated, groove-centered style of AfricanAmerican music. The New Orleans Suspects are comprised of musicians with experience and versatility that rival any other funk band that the city has ever produced. “Mean” Willie Green was drummer for the Neville Brothers for more than 30 years, and has played on Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan records. Reggie Scanlan, bass player for The Radiators for more than three decades, has played with James Booker and Professor Longhair. Jake Eckert, lead guitarist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, has jammed with Warren Haynes and Dave Matthews. CR Gruver is a classically trained pianist who has tickled the ivories with the national band

Outformation and singer/songwriter Angie Aparo. And finally, Jeff Watkins on sax spent 12 years leading the James Brown Band. Says Scanlan, “Willy and I are the only two in the band born and raised in New Orleans, and even the two of us come from completely different backgrounds. Even so, for some funny reason, our styles just seem to fit together when we start playing,” he says. “I don’t know how, but it all falls into place. “People kind of blew us off and thought this band was a side project kind of thing. It took a long time for people to get that this was our priority, but once they did, it started a nice progression for the band.” On tour with the New Orleans Suspects’ third album, “Ouroboros,” Scanlan says the Suspects didn’t really begin so much as they happened.4 continued on page 38

JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 37

One evening, six years ago, the owner of the popular New Orleans music venue The Maple Leaf Bar called and wanted them to gig on a day’s notice when the club’s scheduled act had canceled. “It went well and we said if another band doesn’t show up, give us a call,” says Scanlan. The Maple Leaf called a few more times as the five musicians’ individual bands were winding down, and before long, the New Orleans Suspects were born. As the would-be Suspects returned to the Maple Leaf stage for repeated performances, their bands of origin began to look increasingly uncertain. Recalls Scanlan, “Ed Volker (Radiators bandleader) was retiring, and the Nevilles were falling apart. Others were having problems with their bands, too. So finally I said to the guys, we spend half our time complaining about the bands we’re in. Why don’t we just put this new thing together? “We had three guys who could read charts like they can read a book,” he says. “Then you had me and Willie, guys who came off the streets and learned the hard way, playing in clubs we weren’t old enough to get into yet. It doesn’t look like it would work on paper. But it’s that ‘X’ factor that makes it happen. It’s one of those quirky things where we just seem to fit in together. And we knew it from that first note.” “Ouroboros” is the band’s third release and the follow up to their 2012 live CD, “Caught Live At The Maple Leaf.”

The album defines the band’s sound, which puts its own twist on the traditions of New Orleans music, feverinducing funk, irresistible R&B rhythms, Professor Longhair rumbas, dancing-in-the-street second lines, jazzy soul-drenched horns and mind-melting swamp hoodoo that takes the listener on a wild ride through the city’s musical history. The title of the recording was carefully chosen by the band: The Ouroboros is a mythically powerful symbol, an ancient circular icon of a serpent eating its own tail, symbolizing things that begin anew as soon as they end. This idea perfectly describes New Orleans Suspects, a band that represents a second chance, or rebirth, for its veteran members. “A lot of bands these days are doing the next generation sound,” Scanlan points out. “But we’re a little more into the earlier traditions. We sound more old school. We’re not a super group. We’re a band of musicians who share a common vision. It’s a working, organic band and our main focus.” • New Orleans Suspects Jan. 27, Sierra Nevada Big Room in Chico www.neworleanssuspects.com

E U R E K A R E S TA U R A N T O W N E R C H R I S T I N E S I LV E R WHEN CHRISTINE SILVER, former owner of popular Redding eatery Tapas Downtown, closed up and relocated to Humboldt County two years ago, it wasn’t because she was done with the restaurant business. It was because she found love. And the man she fell in love with lived three hours away. Fast forward and she’s opened not one, but two restaurants in Eureka. Her first venture, up and running for more than a year, is a casual place called Humboldt Soup Company and Café, serving lunch and early dinner. With the chillier coastal weather, soup is always a popular choice, but that’s not all that’s on offer. People come for the sandwiches and signature dishes such as savory hand pies, quiches and “local bowls.” Each day, the offerings include clam chowder, then she builds the rest of her menu around what’s fresh, shopping at the farmers’ market as often as possible. “I check out what the farmers have and I load up,” says Silver. “It’s such a dream for me to have access to all of this fresh produce.” Her soups might be coconut chicken curry, tarragon asparagus or tomato basil. As an extra convenience, the soup restaurant has a drive-thru window. Her passion for healthy food began long before her days as a chef, but came to the forefront when she was raising her four children.

“Having my first child at a young age, I was mainly focused on taking care of and supporting them, but I’ve always paid attention to making sure they ate healthfully,” she says. Silver, who met her partner, Bill McKenzie, four-and-a-half years ago, knew after a couple of years of dating that the time was right to relocate to his hometown of McKinleyville, north of Eureka. He works as a controller for a local company, and enjoys being involved with and supporting her in her business ventures. “He likes to brag that he went to Redding and stole their best chef away,” Silver laughs. McKenzie and Silver had been living parallel lives before they even met, working hard and raising their kids as single parents. “Now that our kids are grown, we’ve come together and it’s just the right time,” says Silver. As a native of Humboldt County, McKenzie knows all the best places to hike and the best beaches. “We have a little boat; we do some crabbing and some fishing. He dives for abalone,” she says. No stranger to hard work, Silver starts her day at 5am and usually finishes around 11pm. Her passion for creating and sharing food with others energizes her, she says. That contagious love of food provided her with an unexpected opportunity last summer. Seemingly out of nowhere, she got a call asking if she was the one planning a new restaurant at 6th and E Streets in Eureka. It was a representative4 continued on page 42

scouting locations to shoot a major film in Humboldt County starring Kirsten Dunst. They wanted to use her new restaurant for a scene. The next day, she met with them to discuss the possibility, and after another meeting, she asked them, “Who’s feeding your crew while you’re in town?” They discussed food, she provided her resume and she was hired as a test to serve the office staff three meals. As a result, she was booked as the on-set caterer for the crew of 60 while they shot in remote locations around the county. The story required filming at night, so Silver would meet the crew in the woods in the evening hours, healthy and delicious food in hand. “The best thing about this was it provided me with some needed financial resources as I was getting set to open my second restaurant,” says Silver. “That, and it felt like a validation of my career choice to nourish and feed people.” About that second restaurant: Loyal Tapas Downtown customers will see hints of it at the new spot, called Sixth & E Neighborhood Eatery, in downtown Eureka. There, Silver focuses on delicious interpretations of classic Mediterranean food: Olive chicken over soft polenta; marinated and grilled grass-fed steak with provolone, grilled peppers, onions and chipotle aioli and of course, some comfort food such as hamburgers, pasta and fish and chips. The restaurant includes a bar. A former Tapas regular, Bill Kempley, missed Tapas so much that he made a trip to Eureka to visit Silver and her new restaurants. “We made Tapas a regular hangout for about four years,” he says. “Everything they had on the menu was outstanding.” Kempley was pleased to find a former server, Meegan Hutcheson, had been hired to help get 6th & E open and to be the dining room manager. “You can’t go just anywhere and find such great staff,” Kempley says. Silver sums up her unflagging commitment to the restaurant business this way: “As long as you all keep letting us do the cooking, I will continue to source the best and most delicious ingredients around.” •

M CC LO U D ’ S M O D E R N - DAY PA U L B U N YA N , R O L I N E S L I N G E R THE AUSTRALIAN’S AXE moved like lightning through the air, biting deep into the wood. Chunks of wood flew off until within seconds, the log lay in two pieces. Young Rolin Eslinger watched in awe, determined to master and beat the record in a sport he attempted before. Timber sports were the hobby of Eslinger’s father. Growing up in McCloud, young Eslinger found his attention turned elsewhere. Boy Scouts, Little League, golf and hiking filled his days as he rode his bike across town and explored the numerous dust-covered logging roads. “I moved to McCloud when I was 8 years old,” Eslinger says. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It was a good small-town atmosphere where the only rule was to be home by dark.” In high school, Eslinger pursued football, basketball and track with no concern for the lumberjack skills displayed in his hometown. The annual town logging show was something to do for an afternoon. Watching an Australian come and break a world record gave the boy a hunger for a new venture. The competitor invited the teen to come to Tasmania in October of 1976 and learn the sport. The trip became the

first of five journeys to becoming a world champion in his own right. Timber sports began in the 1870s, with competitive chopping. The lumberjacks of Australia and New Zealand chopped more wood in a month in their contests than during the whole season in America. Eslinger was the first American to stay in Australia for a period of time to invest in the sport. Many came for the 10 days of competition and observation while Eslinger invested months. Returning home, Eslinger took a job with Champion Timber, going to timber sport contests in his free time. The 6-foot-5 man began to dominate. In January of 1980, he became the first person in the northern hemisphere to win a championship event in Australia, in the 12-inch vertical chop. “In 1981, I set a world record and won a championship in West Virginia,” Eslinger says. “I was a young guy, traveling, with little money. It was the perfect life.” In 1985, the Stihl Timbersports series began. Airing in 62 countries with 20 million viewers, the program is the second-longest running show on ESPN. The extreme lumberjack sports brought together the best of lumberjack athletes. Eslinger joined the series, winning three 4 continued on page 48

of the first five titles. His career continued as he won more than 40 championships, excelling in axe throwing, hand sawing and chainsaw work. Sports Illustrated wrote about Esliniger twice, with articles also appearing in the Wall Street Journal. In 1993, he set the world record in single hand sawing. With his mother, he also won championships in Jack and Jill sawing. “I drove across the states, sometimes taking a week to get where I was going. Something would always go wrong with the vehicle,” Eslinger says. “Every trip was an adventure.” After being a competitor for 40 years, his hand sawing world record still holds. He was inducted in 2015 into the Stihl Timbersports Hall of Fame. Eslinger competes in fewer events now, two a year. He remains in the top three in world’s axe throwing. “I remember taking hours to perfect axe throwing,” he says. “I use to have a target in my living room and practice indoors.” This modern Paul Bunyan looks back at his choices in the sport. Reflecting on his living room target practice, he remarks on both his timber sport career and those practices. He says, “I never missed.” •

News Matters THAT

N O R T H S T A T E P U B L I C R A D I O N E W S D I R E C T O R M AT T S H I LT S NORTH STATE PUBLIC RADIO NEWS DIRECTOR Matt Shilts has a new perspective and renewed appreciation for Brad Wagner, the Red Bluff High ROP teacher who gave him his start in radio. “It must have driven him nuts to have all of those students who all wanted to do their own thing and had an open mic,” he says with a laugh. Shilts, a 2006 graduate of the high school, says his journey to North State Public Radio wasn’t intentional, but was certainly helped by his early years as a DJ on the Morning Drive show of KBLF Spartan Radio. “It was a lot of fun because I got to do my own thing,” he says. “I loved it.” After graduation, he moved on to Chico State University, where “I slowly figured out what I was going to do.” He ended up with a double major in English and journalism, and had a three-semester run at the Orion, the school’s award-winning newspaper, including one semester as editor. Of his ascension to news director of North State Public Radio, he says, “I’m surprised that it ended up happening the way it did.” At 23 years old, with the ink still drying on his degree, he took a part-time job at the station as a board operator. From there, the opportunities and responsibilities continued to build, until the role became his in 2014.

“I like facilitating news production a lot,” he says. “I feel I’m well suited to it.” As for on-air reporting, that’s something he’s learned on the job and he expresses gratitude to “people who are still listening as I’ve figured out how to do it.” “News casts are a really cool way to do journalism,” he says, noting that each day he puts in about 7½ minutes of them and 3 of weather, “more when it’s fire season.” “It really makes you think about how you sound to people,” he says, adding that the complex sentences allowed in print journalism are out. Shilts grew up in a household that revered public radio and says NSPR, his hometown station, has “become a home to me.” His goals now are to increase the station’s influence through production of regional and national news stories. During the summer fires in Lake County, Shilts made a report to Lakshmi Singh on National Public Radio, something he’d like to do more. The team is deepening its relationships with neighboring stations Capitol Public Radio, Jefferson Public Radio and KQED in the Bay Area. “I predict that we'll have stories on the California Report in the next year,” he says.4 continued on page 54

How do you represent this

giant area and do it

Justice?

He also wants to extend coverage of news stories to a larger portion of the station's service area. Relatively new to the position, he says, “It's been an interesting year figuring out how to deploy our resources. We're basically with limited resources trying to create this mosaic of North State news.” His news team consists of Kelly Frost, based in Redding, and Chico-based reporters Marc Albert and Sarah Bohannon, all of whom are wrestling with the question, “How do you represent this giant area and do it justice?” Part of the answer will come with training, which Shilts was grateful to receive in Salt Lake City from Public Radio News Directors, Inc. “I couldn’t help but come away from there feeling like public radio is the good guys,” he says. “It’s kind of nice to be a good guy.” Part of being a good guy in public radio, of course, is encouraging station membership. “I started pitching during pledge drives out of necessity,” he says, “but now I really enjoy doing it. I enjoy talking to people. There’s a magic to live radio.” Plus, he adds, “The drive itself is such a high-energy time. Everyone’s on their A-game trying to make it happen.” When he’s not producing news or pitching for memberships, Shilts is often found playing in the Chico bands Teeph and Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy. “It gets a lot of the aggression out,” he says, noting that he’s held a long interest in music and played in a high school band. He also spends time counting his blessings to have found such meaningful work. “The people who like it (public radio), really like it,” he says. “They're big fans.” For a young man starting out his career right after college, that's a great quality. “I feel like I've learned a lot,” he adds. “I feel really fortunate to be at the station at this time.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff. A graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

N E W H O P E I N T H E P O S T-WO R L D WA R I I P E R I O D IT WAS FINALLY OVER. The most destructive military conflict in the history of the world. As 1946 began, millions of military personnel prepared to return to the civilian life in America. Like most small towns across the country, residents of Anderson hoped for a quick return to normalcy. They had endured food and gas rationing from the beginning of the war. Then as the war dragged on, the government added more items, such as chocolate and paper products, to the

growing list of rationed goods. Of course, some residents received the worst news of all—a telegram from the War Department announcing that a family member was “Missing in Action.” All of this they endured. And now, the war was over. What did the future hold? The biggest concern centered on the housing shortage. Local lumber supplies went directly to the war effort, not to community housing. By January of 1946, residents learned that a system of “housing priorities” held some hope. The priorities focused on building small, yet comfortable homes in the low to medium price range of $5,000 to $10,000. First in line, and rightly so, would be returning veterans. Only one house appeared for sale in the town of Anderson for January. The newspaper ad read, “FOR SALE—5 room home; city water; electricity – $2,500.”4 continued on page 60

JANUARY 2016 ENJOY | 59

Already, lumber businessman Ralph L. Smith recognized the need for expanding the local development of wood products and so planned on buying the Deschutes Lumber Co. in Anderson. Eventually Smith built a modern sawmill, remanufacturing plant and a box plant, employing hundreds of workers. With few consumer goods available during the war, Anderson residents looked forward to buying that long-wished-for washing machine or automobile. One piece of good news did arrive on the very first day of January—the Anderson Valley News printed the government’s announcement ending tire rationing. The newspaper also happily declared that local used car “price ceilings” would drop at least 4 percent, making automobiles more affordable. A typical used Ford sold for around $500. The opportunities for personal automobile travel dramatically increased when the state highway division announced in January that seven miles of improved highway would be built south of Cottonwood (the Highway 99 extension), linking Anderson to Red Bluff and points south. All during the war, the government promoted “Victory Gardens,” encouraging homeowners to grow their own food. Now with the war over, local residents desired a greater selection of foods. Locally, Jack’s

Cash Market began to advertise a much wider diversity of products. Anderson residents could now purchase Riviera ravioli in a onepound jar. The price was 15 cents. Even S&W hot sauce, only rarely available during the war, now came in packs of three cans. The price was 20 cents. The Anderson Valley Theatre increased the variety of movies and number of showtimes to meet growing interest in entertainment. To be sure, war-related moves such as “This Man’s Navy” still played during the month, but now exotic movies such as “Kismet” with Ronald Colman and Marlene Dietrich appeared. Returning veterans struggled to secure jobs, and job seekers posted their availability. One such ad read: “RETURNED WAR VETERAN – wants work in electrical wiring, all types; plumbing, septic tank construction and installation; all work guaranteed.” Slowly, as the late 1940s continued, Anderson, like the rest of Northern California, successfully transitioned to a peacetime economy. Ahead lay the “boom years” of the 1950s—exploding population and unbelievable economic growth. • Al Rocca is Professor Emeritus of Education at Simpson University.

FASHION TRENDS

G E T R E A DY F O R T H E L AT E S T FA S H I O N T R E N D S I N 2 0 1 6 FASHION: A BEAUTIFUL REMINDER that seasons change – and change, dear friends, is good. With the new year comes a renewed perspective on life and style. It’s a chance to expound upon old standards or create new ones. It’s a chance to be bold, limitless and fresh. Follow along for our 16 fashion musts for 2016. DENIM Our love affair with the cozy blue stuff is nothing new. But this season, denim takes on a decidedly relaxed take. From distressed and frayed to ruffled and royally embellished, it’s (still) the “it” thing this season. Try all-over denim in the form of a dress or pant suit, or do double duty by donning two distinct washes at once. A blazer will add instant chic to your repertoire. ORANGE EVERYTHING So, it turns out orange is the new black after all. This happy, punchy shade adds joy and charisma to your look instantly and is ever-so-2016. Find a shade that makes you smile and pair it with neutrals like charcoal, navy, chocolate or ivory.4 continued on page 64

VICTORIAN Femininity makes its return to fashion by way of billowy sleeves, high-necked button-front blouses and lovely lace. This look doesn’t require full mid-1800s regalia, but a touch of the romance and softness that it can bring is sure to balance your denim and work attire alike.

Femininity makes its return to fashion by way of billowy sleeves, highnecked buttonfront blouses and lovely lace

‘70S CHIC We know. The ‘70s were a crazy, wild ride. And that’s why it’s so much fun to see it return to us in the form of fashion time and time again. Vintage suede jackets and leather blazers, hip-hugging pants with gently flared bottoms, floral headbands and rock-inspired T-shirts bring back the nostalgia we love. MAXIMALISM In years past, we’ve seen an emphasis on minimalist styles. 2016 is waving goodbye to all of that. You don’t have to wear every trend at once (that’s never a good idea, by the way), but the idea that more is more gives you full permission to go as boldly as you’d like through this year. From ornate fabrics, vibrant colors and textures to large scale jewelry, it’s all good this year. JUST-ABOVE-THE-KNEE SKIRTS Skip the mini this year. Try a just-above-the-knee version with wide pleated fabric and a high waist instead. This classic cut looks ultra stylish when paired with a tucked-in blouse, cinched with a belt and rocked with sweet-yet-sassy heeled booties. PAJAMA COZY Please understand: we don’t mean your actual robe, bunny slippers and hair rollers here. We are, however, referring to loose-fitting pants, comfy robe-inspired dusters tied at the waist and the resounding call to be (almost) as comfortable in the streets as you are at home in your “jammies” after a long work day. VERTICAL STRIPES Aside from the cool look created by this graphic print, it’s simultaneously slimming and elongating. Opt for thin stripes for a more subtle look or bold, colorful ones for a statement-making ensemble. THE COLD SHOULDER Show some clavicle this season with a bold, shoulder-showing dress, top or pantsuit. Look for styles with edgy cutouts, asymmetrical designs and both-sides-off-the-shoulder for a right-on-time look.4 continued on page 66

A TOUCH OF SPAIN Vibrant reds, stunning floral prints, elegant embroidery and ruffled, asymmetrical hemlines take center stage this season, instantly upping the fashion game. THE UPDATED OXFORD SHIRT The classic button-up gets some fresh new moves this year, with unexpected cuts, bold color options and unique pairings. Wear yours with distressed denim and a sweater or cardigan in a bright hue for effortless style or tuck it into a sassy, just-above-the-knee skirt and belt it for a more polished look. SHEER There is something about an ever-so-slightly sheer article of clothing that is simultaneously elegant, decadent and sexy. But this trend requires a touch of restraint, as walking around with just a sheath is ill advised. Pair a sheer button-down blouse with a tank of the same color underneath and layer it with a blazer for dimension. A sheer tunic or dress is fine, so long as you are wearing leggings or a slip dress under it. FRINGE From tassel-inspired accessories to dramatic, wind-catching hemlines on dresses, this trend is sure to sweep any true fashionista off her feet. BOWS Tie one with the sash attached to your sweater, add a subtle one to your hair with a vintage scarf or wear a dainty one at your neck in the form of jewelry. Any bow will do. FANNY PACKS Sure, they were the kiss of fashion death in the late ‘90s, but we’re here to tell you they’re making a comeback in 2016. Subtle or bold, in leather or vegan alternatives, these stylish, hands-free catch-alls hold just what you need most: your money, identification, lipstick and keys, (also known as “MILK”), in addition to your phone. VINTAGE BROOCHES You remember playing dress-up in your grandma’s jewelry box as a child, don’t you? Well, even now, it’s still fun to dress up in a touch of vintage bling. Adorn your coat, blazer, cardigan or hat with a cluster of small vintage brooches and turn ho-hum into glam in one second flat. •

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:

Summer’s Time

N O R T H S TAT E N AT I V E S U M M E R S C H A P P E L L AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E “(Contestant) Kota Wade and I recorded an original song together and we’re doing a music video, and Tim Atlas from the show produced it. We wanted to put out there that no matter what happens, keep going – get up, dust yourself off and keep going.” A singer since she was a toddler, Schappell began taking dance classes at age 3 and joined Kids Unlimited, a summer performing arts camp, at age 8. She recorded her first album in Nashville at age 14, and soon began opening for country music stars, including Josh Turner and LeAnn Rimes – all before she graduated from Enterprise High School, where she was part of the show-pop group Enterprise Starship. The bubbly, blonde teenager who sang “Chocolate is a Vitamin” in her mid-teens has evolved into an edgier singer with sassy silver locks whose current singles include “It’s Workin’” and “It Ought to Be a Sin.” “When I got back from L.A., I knew I had to get a band together,” she says. “I don’t necessarily want to do pop country – I want to bring a tiny bit of a rock edge to country.” She’ll eventually need to move to Nashville or Texas to immerse herself in the country music scene, she says, but for now, she’s enjoying some time in the North State with her grandparents, Bill and Kay, who raised her. She has performed throughout California and Oregon, including at Redding’s Christmas tree lighting and at Historic Hawes Farms right before Halloween. She looks forward to sharing her own songs along with some cover tunes at her show in January, where she’ll introduce her “incredible” new band. “I’m so excited,” she says. “I love how kind and supportive this community has been, and I wanted to do this concert to say thank you.”• Summer Schappell • 7pm Friday, Jan. 22, Cascade Theatre, Redding www.cascadetheatre.org

MUCH HAS TRANSPIRED in the seven years since Summer Schappell first headlined a show at the Cascade Theatre in Redding – most notably, she made her national television debut on “The Voice.” As a thank you to those who loved her before she dazzled audiences on one of America’s most prominent stages, she’s coming back to Redding’s historic downtown theatre. “‘The Voice’ was a blast, but it was extremely nerve wracking – it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” says Schappell, 22. “The Cascade is a comfortable place for me, so I can let loose a little more.” The Lakehead native was thrilled to earn a spot on “The Voice,” and in October, millions of television viewers watched her belt out a rendition of “Strawberry Wine” that drew praise from all four judges and has since been viewed nearly 1 million times on YouTube. She was invited by both No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams (of “Happy” fame) to join their teams – she chose Team Gwen and amassed a legion of fans before Stefani ultimately chose one of her competitors to advance to the final performance phase of the competition. Although she didn’t take home the crown, she says the knowledge she gained from the judges, guest artists (including Rihanna) and other competitors has benefited her beyond measure. “The biggest thing I took away is that I’m not mainstream country, and they told me to embrace that – be different,” Schappell says. “Gwen (Stefani) said, ‘You know exactly who you are and exactly what you want to do,’ and it was the best compliment I’ve ever gotten.” Being on a reality television show is an intense, all-consuming experience that quickly builds tight bonds between the competitors. “We were in hotels for months at a time – it was like lockdown,” she says. “When you see people get eliminated from the show and the other contestants are sad, it’s a really genuine reaction.” And she’s delighted that a piece of her television experience remains with her. “My friend Lyndsey Elm from The Voice will be opening the show at the Cascade. It’s kind of perfect, because she’s from Vacaville,” Schappell says.

WHAT’S COOKIN’

January Recipe

What defines a minestrone? A big, thick vegetable soup with a large array of seasonal vegetables, herbs, pasta and beans, served with shavings of Parmesan cheese. And what defines an Italian Garden Harvest Minestrone? The same, but for me, it was the actual experience of harvesting the vegetables right from the garden at our rental in Sovicille, Tuscany, Italy. It is a simple dish, but very wholesome. I learned the meaning of la cucina povera, the poor kitchen – peasant cooking using the available products of the land. The flavor of your minestrone will vary from season to season, depending on the vegetables available from 76 | ENJOY JANUARY 2016

your garden, farmers’ market or grocery. It was raining in Italy the day we made it – perfect conditions to just sit back and enjoy the company of good friends, the aroma of the soup and the beautiful surroundings in this little village in the Siena Province. We spent more than three weeks in Italy, and we had some amazing meals during our trip, but this meal was by far my favorite and most memorable for many reasons: Vegetables are plentiful right out your back door, the great olive oil, vino of the region of Tuscany, and cooking it with great friends in my dream place… Italy.

STEP 1: In a large bowl, let the white beans soak overnight in enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Drain and rinse. Place the beans in a saucepan and cover by 2 inches with water or broth and simmer, uncovered, adding more liquid if necessary to keep them covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender. Add the salt and simmer for 10 minutes more. Remove pan from the heat and let the white beans stand, uncovered. STEP 2: While beans are cooking, in a heavy pot, drizzle about 2-3 T olive oil, and cook the pancetta, bacon or sausage over moderate heat, stirring until done. Remove to a plate and let drain. Add the remaining oil and heat before adding the onion and cook until softened. Add the carrots, celery, fennel, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and the potatoes. Cook this mixture, stirring, for about 5 more minutes. Add the kale and cook, stirring, until the kale is wilted. Lastly, add the broth, tomatoes, bay leaves and oregano and simmer the soup, covered, for 45 minutes longer. STEP 3: Drain the white beans, reserving the liquid. Stir the beans and pasta into the soup and simmer uncovered, for 5-10 minutes, thinning if desired with some of the remaining reserved liquid, and season it with salt and pepper, if needed. SERVE: Remove the bay leaves. Ladle soup into individual bowls. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a little of the chopped parsley and basil. NOTE: soup can be made 3 days in advance. Keep covered and chilled. Reheat soup when ready to serve. Thin with water if needed. Mangia, mangia!

Legends & Lore Recently witnessed lights in the sky (satellite launch and rocket tests, we were told) have had many people talking over the past few months. We reported the sightings during our radio show recently; the phone lines lit up and texting screen went nuts. We also ended up with some lively dinner table discussion about UFOs that eventually morphed into North State lore and legend – specifically, rumors involving Lemurians, Bigfoot and the giant sturgeon living in Shasta Lake. You don’t know what Lemurians are? We had better start from square one: As the story goes, the ancient continent of Lemuria sank into the Pacific thousands of years ago. The survivors took up refuge inside Mt. Shasta in the city of Telos, described as a multidimensional ball of light and energy deep inside the mountain. According to various blogs and witness accounts, Lemurians are 6.5 to 10 feet tall, wise beyond our typical understanding, number about 1.5 million strong, and can come and go from the mountain via invisible spaceships piloted through those amazing lenticular clouds that occasionally ring Shasta’s peak. They are somewhat wary of humans and are waiting for the right time to again reveal themselves and their superior technology. People come from all over the world to seek Lemurians, feel the energy that Mt. Shasta emits, gather spiritual information and seek local crystals deemed powerful and full of Lemurian energy. We must also discuss Bigfoot, Sasquatch or Yetis if we

want to talk local lore. There have been numerous sightings of various sized Bigfoots for decades in Northern California. Trinity County seems to be a hotspot for Sasquatch, and if you believe, there are families of Sasquatch living throughout the North State. The TV show “Finding Bigfoot” made a trip to Redding in November to speak with locals who say they’ve encountered these creatures. The “Finding Bigfoot” team even headed up into the mountains west of Redding to search for Bigfoot evidence. I guess we’ll have to watch the show next season to find out what they’ve discovered. By the way, the show airs on Animal Planet. Finally, we love to tell friends visiting Lake Shasta to beware of the giant sturgeon that may surface from the depths to eat you for a snack. We warn that sturgeon are especially attracted to the toes of young children who dangle their feet over the edge of boats into the murky waters below. The Redding Record Searchlight once took this subject on and concluded there was a legitimate chance of white sturgeon more than 1,000 pounds in size living in Lake Shasta. There are also verified cases of 6- to 8-foot-long sturgeon being caught in large freshwater lakes. So far, there are no documented cases of humans being eaten. You’re welcome… hope that makes you feel better. Aliens inside the mountain, hairy creatures in the woods and humongous fish just waiting to slurp down human prey. What do you believe?

PRODUCTS TELL

J N I C O L AY B A K E R Y

ENJOY: Tell us about your products. JANELLE: We offer all-natural dog treats in nine different flavors and two sizes. We have tiny training treats that are a half-inch, and regular treats that are one inch. ENJOY: When did you become interested in owning a bakery? JANELLE: I’ve always been a baker. In 2004, I baked for Andrea (Charroin) at Rene-Joule Patisserie. I loved it, and 10 years later, I decided I wanted to open my own bakery. ENJOY: What made you decide to stop selling “people food” in your bakery and focus your business on dog treats? JANELLE: The animal business is a huge market. My biggest reason was that when I owned a regular bakery, I was away from home for so long – I wanted to be able to spend more time with my dogs, and when you have a restaurant, you can’t take them with you.

ENJOY: What do people enjoy most about your products? JANELLE: They’re made from human-grade ingredients, so they’re healthy and wheat-free. People love when they open a bag of treats, it reminds them of a bakery because of the familiar smells. The peanut butter treats smell like the cookies I used to make. In the first year, I baked my own products. Now I have hired a co-packer, an all-natural company that bakes our recipe for us. The products go into our warehouse, and we bag, seal and distribute them. ENJOY: It sounds like your business is really growing. JANELLE: It has grown a lot. I’ve kept it a word-of-mouth business, but we’re working to build up our auto-ship, where customers automatically get a shipment on the 15th of the month. I love getting texts that say, “I think my Lucy feels like blueberries this month.” It’s really fun. We deliver free in Redding and ship all over the United States for $5. In the spring, I plan on getting into more retail stores.

ENJOY: Tell us about your four-legged family members. JANELLE: I have four dogs. Bear is a stray that showed up at my house a year ago. I think he knew we were the dog treat people. He’s older and well behaved, and he comes with me to work every day. Then I have a yellow lab named Jordy, whose picture is on the front of all my bags. We call him the taste tester. He loves them all. Jury is a hound and is our very picky eater. She especially loves the fruit and veggie treats, like apple, sweet potato and pumpkin. Then there’s Jewell, our 7-year-old-lab, who has some health problems. ENJOY: Why is it important to feed our pets all-natural treats? JANELLE: The fewer ingredients we use for ourselves or our dogs, the better. I like to know that if I’m giving it to my dog, it’s something I would eat and feel good about. ENJOY: What’s the most fun part of your job? JANELLE: A few days after our auto-ship, we get so many photos of dogs doing tricks for their treats, or lying next to a bag of treats. Really getting to know these dogs is fun. Our motto is “only the best for our best friends” – it really describes our business. • www.jnicolaybakery.com

It is an all-levels walk that is accessible to patients, families and friends. Walkers will carry colored illuminated lanterns: White for survivors, red for supporters and gold for those walking in memory of a loved one. There are three ways to register for the walk. Walkers can raise funds and participate individually, join a team or form a team with friends, family and co-workers. There is not a minimum fundraising amount, but every walker who raises $100 or more becomes a Champion for Cures and will receive a lantern, T-shirt and dinner provided by Jersey Mike’s on the night of the walk. To register, go to www.lightthenight.org. Sign-ups will also take place the day of the event, but lanterns, T-shirts and the meal are not guaranteed. “I want a sea of lanterns on Hilltop…I want it to bring inspiration to other people and change their lives because ultimately, it has changed my life when I wasn’t looking for it,” says Nunes. “I couldn’t imagine my life without the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.” • Wednesday, Feb. 10; Event starts at 5pm, walk starts at 7pm Redding Civic Auditorium, 700 Auditorium Drive Find Redding Light the Night’s event on Facebook

Kendra Kaiserman is a senior journalism major at Simpson University. Originally from Manteca, she enjoys trips to Santa Cruz, writing, reading and playing soccer. She hopes to become a writer or editor for a magazine someday.

THE STARS WON’T BE THE ONLY THING lighting up the night sky in Redding on Wednesday, Feb. 10. The Light the Night Walk is an annual fundraiser that supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which funds blood cancer research, education and patient services. This is the first year the event will happen in Redding and it is all hosted by volunteer Kari Nunes. Nunes participated in the event in the Bay Area for eight years. She was inspired by her Nana, Bette Jean Sisney, who fought cancer three times before losing the battle on Oct. 16, 2003. When Nunes first heard about the Light the Night Walk on a local radio station in the Bay Area in 2007, she was ecstatic to find a way to keep her Nana’s memory alive. “When I heard about Light the Night, I thought, ‘This is a great way for me to generate my energy to something positive, and just look on the bright side that I can help others in memory of my Nana,’” Nunes says. “I had never done any charity work prior to this, so this really opened my eyes to think, ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to keep my Nana’s memory alive and I’m going to help others who are going through the same kind of ordeal.’” She told the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society last year that she was interested in hosting her own event in Redding. “I really want Redding to experience what I’ve experienced,” she says. After getting the event approved by the society and by the City of Redding, Nunes booked the venue at the Redding Civic Auditorium. It is on Sisney’s birthday, and festivities will begin at 5pm, including live music, fun for kids and more. The 3-mile walk will begin at 7pm at the Civic Auditorium, continue on the Sacramento River Trail, turn up Hilltop Drive to Best Buy, loop back down to the River Trail at Dana and finish at the Civic Auditorium.
