Check out some exciting new technology that Redding Gold Mart is featuring in its ad in this issue on pages 44-45. Download and open the Live Portrait app, hold your smart phone over the photos on the ad and watch the images transform into video! The app works by using Live Portrait’s customized blend of augmented reality and image recognition called portrait recognition. The software analyzes the printed image by creating a mathematical model based on shapes, lines, proportions, colors and other elements. It then matches the model against images already in Live Portrait’s database. When a match is found, you see what looks like a 3D, mapped digital video playing on top of a print… living in the physical world. Apple devices running iOS 7.0 and above, including iPads, and Android devices running 4.1 or newer can download and use the Live Portrait app. For more information, visit www.liveportrait.com.
Every month, we feature a new recipe that has been prepared and enjoyed by our good friend Lana Granfors. Although not professionally trained, she has always loved to cook—especially for others. Sharing her favorite recipes in Enjoy is a way for her to break bread with all of us. Here are some fun facts about Lana. 1. I once flew seated next to Bob Dylan. We talked through the whole flight and we even wrote a song together, scribed on a napkin. 2. I love shopping and I make a great personal shopper. I can smell a bargain a mile away. 3. I pride myself in not ever forgetting a face. I wish I could say that for names. 4. I moved to California from Texas 41 years ago. We drove all the way pulling a stock trailer filled with personal items, 2 horses, and my then 9-month-old son, Rusty. Those were the days! 5. I’m a twin. Leah and I just celebrated our 60th birthday! 14 | ENJOY MARCH 2016

FOR MARTY AND MIMI MOSELEY, the slogan “come as guests, leave as family” is far more than just an intriguing tagline for their Redding business, Moseley Family Cellars. It’s a mantra they live and love by, one that resonates with them with each person who walks through their door. In July 2009, the couple moved to Redding from San Jose, having gotten to know the community 10 years prior when both of their sons, Marty III and Matt, relocated to the area. “It’s kind of our calling to be here, to be a kind of mom and dad to the next generation.” says Mimi Moseley. The Moseleys, who had been making wine as hobbyists 10 years before starting their business, first opened in a 2,000-square-foot location on Market Street in June 2011. Mimi recalls the struggle of having their wine-making facility and their Tasting Room in different places: “It was hard if you ran out of wine to have to go to a separate location to replenish your stock. I think, inadvertently, we were training people to think of us as more of a wine bar at that time. But when we changed locations, people began to recognize us as a tasting room. We began selling more cases of wine as opposed to just glassfuls.” When the former KMS building became available on Mountain Lakes Boulevard off of Caterpillar Road, the Moseleys remodeled it into a tasting room and spread out in the 10,000-square-foot space. Marty Moseley, a senior technology architect who has spent the bulk of his career working for Apple and Intuit, still serves on a consulting basis - when he’s not making wine. Mimi has been an inspirational speaker for women for 20 years, and says Leadership Redding “helped us to develop our business around the needs of this community. The beauty of a small town is that you can make a difference. We are a part of the team that is creating a new Redding. Wine is the avenue we use to become a part of people’s lives.” Firmly rooted in their commitment to the community, the Moseleys proudly support local nonprofits, fellow businesses and local vendors. The stunning bar in the tasting room and the banquet tables in the barrel room, custom made by Brandon, a craftsman with Living Hope, echo the industrial nature of the building in their design. Delicate light traces the edge of the locally made custom metal sign that hangs4 continued on page 18

behind the bar, displaying the moniker against the elegant grey-blue accent wall. Visitors to the building know they are in the right place when they see the wrought iron tree – made by Dusty Logan of Vintage Wine Bar in Redding—hanging to the left of the entry door. Although much of their grape supply is harvested in areas like Napa, Sonoma and Carneros because of the quality of the grapes coming from those regions, the Moseleys are honored to incorporate some North State grapes into their repertoire. “We love working with Burnsini Winery. Wineries don’t really compete with each other. If one of us does well, we all do well, because it keeps drawing wine lovers to the area. A rising tide raises all ships,” says Mimi. With a total of 18 distinct wine offerings, with everything from “the crush to the bottle” happening at their facility, the Moseleys have focused their attention on creating three levels of wine – the Everyday, the Gold Stripe, and their newest edition, the Legacy. The Legacy level, which will make its debut at the tasting room on Sunday, March 20, will be signed and numbered, and will take on the name of a wine-loving member of the community who has created a legacy in a major way each year. The richly layered thought process involved with creating every bottle of wine at Moseley Family Cellars hasn’t gone unnoticed by wine enthusiasts. For every year since its inception, Moseley Family Cellars has been nominated for The Best of the North State for both their red and white wines, and in 2015, they won the recognition. 2015 was a quintessential year for Moseley Family Cellars, as they gained acknowledgment on a worldwide scale when they took home the Silver Medal from the Harvest Awards for their 2013 Mourvédre. When asked why they included the word “family” in their business name, Mimi said simply: “A family leaves a legacy. When you do something well— if you have been a good mom and dad—your kids are going to have the benefit of that legacy.” • Moseley Family Cellars • 4712 Mountain Lakes Blvd., Suite 300, Redding (530) 605-4222 • www.moseleyfamilycellars.com

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS
ARTIST JOAN PECHANEC DURING HER 43 YEARS as a therapist, Joan Pechanec worked to guide her clients around, through and over the obstacles that life can present, from death and dying to divorce and estrangement. Throughout it all, her art served as both an emotional sanctuary and a creative outlet that allowed her to process the peaks and valleys that she and her clients encountered on their journeys. Now that retirement has brought an end to her clinical practice and she’s free to devote all her time to creative endeavors, her career still influences her art. Her bold use of colors and textures reflect “the vibrancy and uniqueness I saw in my clients … all this suffering and emotion, from 43 years of psychotherapy, I would see it as colors and images and it would come out in my art,” she says. Art “was the perfect antidote” to the emotional toll therapy exacts from counselors. “I don’t have to carry all
this suffering” when painting, she says, quickly adding that it was a privilege to be a part of so many lives. “I have been honored and enriched by the intimate stories of so many courageous people. I often experience this emotional material visually, and many of my art works express these powerful feelings and memories. “I was much more interested in helping people be their fullest self, the most vibrant and full of life, and that’s what I care about in my art,” she says. A case in point is her assemblage, titled Cremation Memorial, which she has dedicated to the memory of a client. It incorporates images of a dramatic Balinese cremation ceremony, temples, charms, flowers and other Hindu icons. Tucked inside is a carefully redacted snippet of the client’s chart.4 continued on page 22
MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 21
The piece also demonstrates the influence of place on Pechanec’s art. Although her studio is located in the small riverside cottage in Dunsmuir she shares with her husband, novelist Charlie Price, the paintings that emanate from it are brimming with images and colors she has absorbed from her travels to Bali, Morocco, Guatemala and Mexico, as well as stops throughout the United States. While her creative instincts surfaced as a child—“ I’ve done some form of art as far back as I can remember” —her painting career started in earnest in 1985 when she and Price rented out their home in Oakland and moved to Mexico for a year. A Latin American vibe is present in her work, as are influences from the late 1960s and ’70s when her travels brought her to San Francisco. When careers brought the couple to Redding in 1989, Pechanec says she made a sincere effort to stick with her painting, despite the demands on her time from a full caseload and being a mother to their daughter, Jessica Price. “I made a deal with Michi Takemoto (a fellow Redding therapist) that we were going to fight to have one day a week of art, and we did that for almost 25 years, even though we were really busy,” she says. Watercolors, acrylic paints and encaustics were her principal media until she took an oil painting class with Mount Shasta artist Stefan Baumann some six or seven

years ago. Soon thereafter, her love affair with oil painting was in full swing. Pechanec mounted a one-woman show, “Drenched in Color,” last September at the Orland Art Center Gallery and exhibited 45 pieces, including oil paintings, encaustics and mixed-media works. “There is a grace about her artistry,” says Rae Turnbull, the show’s curator. “Our attendees responded enthusiastically to her lush use of color and the strong sense of mood and mystery in her paintings.” Says Pechanec of her passion: “My art expresses the world as I experience it, rich in numinous color and vibrant light… when I paint, I enter a state of flow where time and reality recede and I inhabit the scene in my imagination.” • www.joanpechanec.com

cow power M A A S E N E R GY WO R K S , L LC O F R E D D I N G WHAT DO ELECTRICITY AND cow manure have in common? That isn’t a lead-in question for the latest joke. There actually is a relationship of significant worth that few people are aware of. A three-generation Redding family is building a future around that connection and growing a bio-green industry in the process. Daryl Maas, founder and CEO of Maas Energy Works, LLC of Redding, says the technology has been around in sewer plants for nearly 100 years. Interest on dairies in the United States began about 15 years ago. Daryl and his brother Kevin jumped on the potential and powered it into a feasible business plan in 2007 when Kevin was working on his master’s degree. “Once it looked like it might work out, my wife Christianna and I sat down and prayed and talked and decided we were in,” Daryl says. “That led to the first
project. We’ve just not stopped building since then.” That was the beginning in Washington state. Kevin holds down the fort in Washington and Oregon with Farm Power Northwest, LLC, which he and Daryl cofounded. Daryl brought the technology to Redding in 2009 and be near Christianna’s family. He has completed projects and projects under development near Sacramento, Fresno and Visalia, with interest on the increase because of its success. Let’s describe what’s churning on the inside. The system is called an anaerobic manure digester. The system simulates a cow’s stomach by creating a warm, moist, oxygen-free environment that tricks the existing bacteria into thinking that it is still inside the cow. By continuing to break down calories, these bacteria release methane-rich biogas.4 continued on page 26 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 25

HEALTH GREENVILLE You and Your HealthCare Team
WISE
What Is A HealthCare Team? Healthcare is a team effort. Each healthcare provider is a member of the team with a special role. Healthcare is an increasingly diverse field where many specialties interact to provide patient care. Your healthcare team may include Physicians, Nurses, Certified Medical Assistants, Pharmacists, Physical Therapists, Mental Health Professionals, Fitness Trainers, Dentists, Community Health Representatives, Social Workers, friends and especially family members. Roles are changing and expanding in healthcare. Your healthcare team is your advocate and can assist you in managing your care by answering questions, listening to your concerns, which would foster collaboration between providers and refer to other specialties and educational outreach. A multidisciplinary team has specific responsibilities and the whole healthcare team contributes to the care of you the patient. Empowered patients are individuals who recognize that they are the most important member of their healthcare team. They ask questions, come to appointments prepared, and choose their doctors based on many factors such as; the ease of access to their provider, the availability of medical services and their acceptability to the patient, the location of healthcare facilities, transportation, and hours of operation that promotes quality and cost-effective outcomes of care.
The future of healthcare lies in successful collaboration among all of the disciplines to promote excellent care and improve patient outcomes. There is not a “one size fits all” approach. For this collaborative approach to work, you the patient can make a difference. Do not hesitate to ask questions. Often it is difficult to think of questions at the time of your appointment. Your healthcare team wants your questions. Your questions give your healthcare team important information about you, such as your most important healthcare concerns. We recommend preparing the following questions before you visit your provider, which will allow you to work with your healthcare team to achieve the best results and obtain the most appropriate care. • ue ti n t a e re ur a int ent. • ue ti n t a durin ur a int ent. • ue ti n t a a er ur a int ent. • Build u n li t ue ti n . r e a le Will this medication interact with medications that I am already taking?

The biogas powers engine-driven generators to provide a renewable electricity source. The potential is then sold to the grid or to offsite electrical requirements by farmers and industrial customers. The move to California started a business relationship with Ted Thompson, who was living in San Diego at the time. Ted is the owner of Electrical Innovations and is married to Michelle, Christianna’s sister. With Ted’s many years of electrical and contracting experience, the relationship quickly became a synchronized team effort to put together project designs and get the jobs done. Daryl procures financing and does the administrative coordination. Ted is involved in the actual construction. The end result of that dovetailing brought Ted and his family to Redding, as well. For the sisters and their children, it meant coming home to roots where the Reed family has a decades-old history and cousins will grow up together. Family is a big deal in this company, and it captures the heart of those who visit and work at the office at 1670 Market St. in the downtown Promenade, at the homes of both families or in the field at jobsites. “I’m passionate about taking waste and making it into something useful,” Daryl says. “It’s just such a great picture of what humans are called to do. But it’s also a business venture. And I love hiring good people, who can go out and create value while providing for their families.”
Daryl’s feelings regarding family involvement and multi-generational prospective in his business reveal his understanding of the potential of choices and empowerment. “I deeply enjoy working with my son. It will be fun to work with him as he grows up,” Daryl says. “But at the same time, I don’t want him to just inherit a business. He will have to make his own way in the world and if that brings him back to this business, great. But I’m wary of assigning my children an ‘heir apparent’ role here. I don’t think it’s good for them or good for the business. I also value and love working with my wife in the informal ‘HR’ role of the company.” To watch parents, children and employees interact with such authenticity can awaken something that closely resembles envy. Yet, a person feels at home, like a grandpa hanging out with the kids while getting some work done around the house. It’s a result of a stone of preciousness thrown in a still pond of the power of influence. The ripples simply continue with everwidening impact. • Jim Powell is a writer from Redding who has published feature articles and blogs.

Pipe Dreams
J E F F E R S O N P I P E B A N D T U N E S U P F O R G L A S G O W, S C O T L A N D
LATE LAST YEAR, members of a unique North State band made a vow. They committed to honing their talents with bagpipe and drums throughout 2016, and to taking these sharpened skills to the 2017 World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. There, the Jefferson Pipe Band will face its ultimate challenge, according to Pipe Sergeant Carrie Wigham. “They’re the best pipers in the world,” she says. “At first, we were planning on going to the Worlds in 2016. But we realized we hadn’t done a competition in four or five years. We said, if we’re really going to do this, we need to get together and start competing again.” Pipe Major Bob Skinner says the idea to take on the Worlds evolved from a plan to simply visit. “A number of us decided to go to Scotland about the time of championships,” he explains. “We thought if that many are going, why not compete?” He says the time gained by postponing this year will be welcome, because it normally takes a year or longer to perfect the band’s set. All this time and effort distills down to a three-and-ahalf-minute performance. “The judges listen to the drums, how tight the pipes are, the transitions and the overall ensemble – how it all sounds together,” says Skinner. Wigham loves the “stepping off,” the beginning of a set, a march accompanied by drums. Then comes the drone, all the bagpipes together, followed by the musical note E, before the melody. This is not easily done. “There’s no turning back,” she says with a laugh. “You don’t want to have an early E or a bad drone or any squawks.” The newest piper in the Jefferson Pipe Band, four-year player Nancy Menefee, hasn’t a single competition under her belt. “It is both terrifying and exciting at once,” she says of the finals in Glasgow. “I’m still beginning. And you don’t want to be the one who messes up the rest of the band. But it’s a fun thing to do, and we have a really good group. We’ll follow our dream and do the best we can.” Menefee says the bagpipe is notoriously difficult to play. “It’s up there with violin and harp,” she says. “It’s a reed instrument, so it’s affected by the temperature and humidity.” Wigham says, “You’re constantly tuning,” as she4 continued on page 30 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 29
reaches across her face to adjust the longest pipe on the bag. “And there’s a difference in how you tune if you’re indoors or outdoors.” Wigham and Menefee say a highlight of their involvement with the Jefferson Pipe Band is an annual, week-long retreat in Seattle called Band Camp. “It’s a blast. You get to meet people from all over the country. I’ve made lifelong friends,” says Wigham. “The teachers are the best in the world.” Menefee sees it as an intense educational experience: “It’s total immersion, all-encompassing instruction. Five classes a day, an hour each. They push us to learn new technique. I love it.” Both women say it was their enjoyment of bagpipe music that led them to the band. Each wanted to learn how to play, and each was referred to Skinner in Redding. The pipe major himself learned from in a California piping college more than 30 years ago, and he taught all the Redding pipers in the Jefferson Pipe Band, including his wife, Molly, who also plays drum in the band. The name “Jefferson” comes from the geographic region over which the homes of the 20 or so members are scattered in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Today, the Jefferson Pipe Band is well-known in Redding. It performs for numerous public events each year, ranging from holiday celebrations to fairs to fundraisers. They played two sets at the Reno Celtic Festival in October, taking a first and second place award. To prepare for Glasgow, Skinner plans four or five competitions this year, culminating in a return to Reno. To raise funds for the trip, Skinner set up a crowdfunding page at GoFundMe, and the band will organize its own benefits until the World Championships in mid-August 2017. • Jefferson Pipe Band • (530) 243-5240• www.jeffersonpipeband.org

O R AN GE STR EE T CO NSIGNMENT IN CHICO
THE ENORMOUS BUILDING with the industrialized roll-top metal doors sits off the beaten path, tucked away from the main thoroughfare, in a place you wouldn’t expect to find it—as is the case with many a valuable treasure. Calling Orange Street Consignments a veritable smorgasbord of vintage curiosities, antiques and collectibles would be putting it mildly. Calling it the “best kept secret in Chico” is spot on. Established in 1999 by John and Jenny Mull, the building is divided into seven distinct rooms. The store itself, occupying nearly 7,000 square feet of the 15,000-square-foot building, offers a stylish, varied assortment of vintage clothing that extends past the costume kitchy-ness known to amass itself at some secondhand stores, along with antique and vintage furniture, glassware, collectibles, records, hardware, books, records, buttons, postcards and more. The remaining space is used for storage and, most importantly, for the once-every-four-to-six-weeks estate sale, which has drawn a solid following of people for nearly 20 years. The nearly 4,000-square-foot space is reinvented in time for every sale, making the Mulls’ nickname for the
sale, “the original pop-up,” quite fitting. The sale begins on a designated Saturday, and shoppers peruse the selection and make purchases before the items are made available to the public at the storefront. Whatever is not sold on Saturday is marked half price and is sold that Sunday. The remaining items are made available at the store shortly thereafter. Mull, a hairdresser for 50 years, closed down his barber shop on Park Avenue five years ago, selling some of the décor from the old barber shop at Orange Street Consignments. “I’m 72 now, so lots of what I’ve collected is now moving in a different direction.” Mull still does hair for family and close friends one day a week in a small studio, but the bulk of his time is spent as an estate liquidator. “I’m a hunter/gatherer. I like to get out and look at things. Estate liquidation is always an adventure,” says Mull. Mull is grateful for the help of a great team. His wife, Jenny, helps with networking and correspondence. Faye Cole, who is responsible for accounting and listing items at the storefront, is who John refers to as his “right hand” where operations of the storefront are concerned.4 continued on page 34
MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 33
David Lyons is responsible for listing selected items on eBay. By offering diversified selling options, Mull is able to offer peace of mind, honesty, integrity and a sense of closure to those who trust him to manage their estate liquidations. “People’s belongings tell a story, even if you don’t ever meet them. The first thing I look for is a person’s library. I can always tell a person’s story based on what kind of books they have.” Over the years, Mull has been responsible for caring for more than 600 estates. “Growing up I always thought I wanted to be a herpetologist. I brought my wife out to the desert looking for reptiles and other critters. After collecting a few scorpions, I found her in the car with the door closed,” he says. “She said, ‘I don’t think I can do this.’ While we were there in the desert, we stumbled on an antique shop with lots of old glass. I picked up my first book on glass bottles there. We started going digging for bottles after work. “I cut my teeth on the Paramount Swap Meet in Southern California. At that time, I was driving around an old VW Bug. My father-in-law said, ‘Son, you need a truck. You can make some money with a truck.’ He bought me my first one and encouraged me to learn how to buy and sell items. He’d buy lots of stuff and I’d sell it. I was able to double my weekly income, working just one day a week selling at the swap meet.” What Mull loves most about antique and vintage items is that it’s an ever-changing experience. “What didn’t have value before suddenly has value today. You learn to appreciate a little bit of all of it. I appreciate things a lot more now than I did then. My favorite treasures are the unique things that no one else would think to collect. “Being an antique dealer, you hate to throw something out just because it has a chip in it. At our house, we have what we call an ‘example cabinet.’ It holds treasures that are damaged, but are still great décor pieces. Each item serves as an incentive to get to know more about that piece. I have grown to admire what people do with old, broken pieces.” • Orange Street Consignments 514 Orange St., Chico (530) 899-7064 (store) Find Orange Street Consignments on Facebook

RON GIESECKE HAS MORE THAN A TRICK AND A SONG UP HIS SLEEVE YOU WON’T SEE MAGICIAN RON GIESECKE pull a rabbit out of a hat or make a quarter appear from behind your ear. His magic show centers mainly on cards, and he describes each illusion as “an erudite act – it’s art, ruse and subterfuge at the card table,” he says. “I call each one a journey. I’m a deception artist.” Some of Giesecke’s acts are based on tricks from a book written in 1902; another stems from a 730-year-old Greek text, which illustrates a three-cup, three-ball routine performed in the market. “Almost 2,000 years later, the reactions to a street-performing charlatan are exactly the same,” Giesecke says. Many of his illusions are paired with music – often his own. He needed a Western song for an illusion detailing the 1876 murder of Wild Bill Hickok, so he took a jaw harp and a homemade cigar box guitar that he plays with a glass slide, and created his own soundtrack. In a routine he calls “Apologies to Dickens,” he tells a tale of Marley and all three ghosts, during which all 52 cards are expended on the table in order. “I wanted to see if I could get all the cards to fit the Scrooge narrative, and I did it in a day,” Giesecke says. Both of his December shows at the Bohemian Art Loft sold out, and he hopes to schedule more this spring. “Not only is he a highly accomplished illusionist, he worked his magic into wondrous stories, creating a mesmerizing and captivating presentation which was also quite humorous and informative,” says Peter Robbins, owner of the Bohemian Art Loft. Giesecke’s fascination with magic began when his dad took him to a magic show at age 5, and he started doing tricks at 9. Many years later, he4 continued on page 38

watched the owner of a magic store perform the first card trick that “wasn’t a boilerplate one that your uncle does at Thanksgiving,” he says. “It was a mindblowing routine, and I knew there was a skill set involved with that. I started buying books, and as soon as I walked through that Narnia-like wardrobe of literature, I was captivated. “Card tricks were the majority of what were on TV that interested me – I could care less about tigers or explosions or cutting someone in half,” Giesecke says. “I’m a people person and this involves relationships. I wanted the show to be about bringing you along on my journey. You may not know how it’s done, but you also don’t want to know how Star Wars did every special effect.” After graduating from a North State high school, Giesecke spent two years in the Army, and has worked as a DJ, dishwasher, car detailer, sign language interpreter and more. He played in bands for years, mostly as a singer and guitarist, but he can also play the bass, drums, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, blues harmonica, piano, cigar box guitar and penny whistle, among others. When his band hit the road, he opted instead for the family life (including wife Nicole and daughters Emma, 16, and Clara, 14). In 2000, he started doing tableside magic tricks at various restaurants, festivals and fairs. He was hired as a juvenile detention officer in 2005, where his skills bought him respect from the young wards. Twice, Christmas fell on his day off, but he went in and performed his 45-minute show anyway. “One young woman who is in her 20s now saw me in town and said, ‘That Christmas was the best Christmas I ever had in my life,’” says Giesecke, who now works in social services. But he’s no one-trick pony. He created an 11-minute film about getting his man card back, in which he showcased self-taught special effects, including illusions of Dog Creek Bridge exploding, a Blackhawk helicopter hovering near Safeway and Giesecke getting himself shot. He has also published articles in various periodicals; his blog, “Master of None,” “gives me a place to vent my spleen and refine what I do.” He also shares tales of his own collection of correspondence inspired by Don Novello’s “The Lazlo Letters,” in which the author writes “ridiculous” letters to people in power. Giesecke has penned dozens of these letters over the years, including: • He gave Charles Manson some tongue-in-cheek advice for getting paroled, saying he couldn’t simultaneously claim to be Christ and Satan, and that he needed to “deal with the Lucifer complex.” Manson sent back a series of lines and circles in black ink.

TERRIE BARR LOVES VISITING with her customers at her latest venture, The Coffee House and Eatery in Orland. Having grown up in the area, she says she knows pretty much everyone local, so she can easily tell if someone has pulled off the interstate to grab a bite or a coffee. She'll engage in light banter that brings a welcoming feel to her new guests, offering a more personalized experience for weary travelers going up and down I-5. “The food is all fresh, and it’s around our gourmet products,” she says, noting that she proudly sources from Sierra Nevada Cheese of Willows, Orland Meat Processors, Chico Honey Company, Old World Smokehouse in Redding and many others. On any given day, it may just be Barr herself pulling baked goods out of the oven that she’s just decided to whip up, from mini lemon meringue pies to chocolate chip cookies.
The coffee house is more than just a year-old cafe, however. It’s part of a complex smorgasbord of businesses Barr and her siblings have developed to keep a building their father acquired when he broke family tradition of being dairymen to become a cabinet maker in town. The 57-year-old woman grew up in that building, playing with wood scraps at her dad’s feet. “He always encouraged us to just be creative,” she says. Creative she became, building not only the coffee house, but Salvagno’s flower shop, an event planning business, party rental company and smallscale catering business, all out of the corner shop on 6th Street that was a Shell station in the 1950s. While the original arches of the service station can still be seen in the building, an extensive renovation of the building was undertaken to get it where it is today. The original remodel plans were mocked up on a kitchen table by Barr and her father, and the process took five years4 continued on page 42 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 41
to complete. “Up to this day, we have never been financed,” says Barr, noting the frustrations of being a small business owner in an old building on land in an area with depressed property values. While her father has since passed away, keeping the building vital has become a passion project for Barr, who counts her family roots back to Old World Italy, with a great grandfather entering the United States through Ellis Island in the early 1900s. “It was probably the most blight-ridden corner in all of Orland,” she says. Her father was famous for collecting things to tinker with and lining everything up on his lot. “It was really hard to lose him,” she says of the man who inspired her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. “It's still a family business, though,” noting that she works closely with brothers Kurt and Clint Salvagno.
Her husband, Richard Barr, has also been supportive. The two met when Richard, a California Highway Patrol officer, responded to an accident Terrie was in on her last day of work traveling from Orland to Redding as a legal secretary. She was tired of the commute, but as fate would have it, she would end up marrying Richard and moving to Redding, starting a daily commute in the opposite direction. The decision to open the cafe came with the realization that the building could afford more foot traffic, since all other endeavors, including flowers, are essentially organized over the phone. Barr started taking classes with Butte College’s small business development program. “Their best advice was, 'Don’t do it!'” she says. But “my back was against the wall. I needed something else to support the building.”
While the Coffee House and Eatery is building its reputation, Barr’s event planning business is well established and continues to thrive, despite the intentional cutbacks she's made on advertising. She will no longer do five weddings in a weekend, but says she still enjoys the business, including the challenge of transforming spaces. “We can go into some unattractive spaces, and with time and imagination, turn them into a fairyland,” she says. In fact, the small banquet room in her shop was designed with old wooden olive crates lining a wall to create a dramatic effect. Barr and her brothers have also taken their talents to the California State Fair to build the Glenn County exhibit. A passion project, they have been the principal builders for 13 of the last 15 years, garnering two Best of Shows and multiple specialty honors, such as People’s Choice, Best Craftsmanship and Best Visitor Experience. In three days, they work 24 hours a day, taking shifts to shower and eat. “It’s unreal, the budgets, the expertise,” she says of the competition. While the team tried going into retirement from the fair exhibit at one point, “We just missed it too much,” says Barr. That’s what happens when you commit yourself to your home, whether it's a commercial building or the way your community is represented at the State Fair. • The Coffee House and Eatery • 730 6th Street, Orland (530) 865-4717 • www.thecoffeehouseandeatery.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL LICHENS
ALGAE AND FUNGI don’t have a lot in common. They do, however, share the goal of staying alive. To up their odds, these two organisms from different kingdoms of the living world sometimes join forces and morph into something altogether different: a lichen. So that’s weird. Strangeness is a unifying trait of lichens, which are widespread and wildly different in appearance. They can be lacy, leafy, leathery or crusty. Some look like big pancakes; others like blobs of goo, strands of hair or splatters of paint. Hues include bright orange, brilliant red and vivid chartreuse. They grow on rocks, bark, leaves, dirt, pinecones, fences, walls, sidewalks and other places. Northern California is home to many of these bio-buddies. “I think they are just beautiful to look at,” says Jennifer Gibson, ecologist at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, where lichens are plentiful. “There may be several different species on one rock.” California has 1,963 lichen species, according to Tom Carlberg of Arcata, vice president of California Lichen Society and a U.S. Forest Service botanist. Carlberg notes that in addition to the fungus-alga combination, a lichen can be an alliance between a fungus and a cyanobacterium. And, in a few instances, it’s a partnership of all three – fungus, alga and cyanobacterium. “The fact that this symbiosis exists and there is this interdependency there, that is fascinating to me,” says Carlberg, who leads workshops and walks on lichen. Individually, the organisms look much different and would struggle to survive.
Tackling life together makes sense. Unable to produce food through photosynthesis, the fungus lets the alga or cyanobacterium handle that task. In return, the fungus provides moisture and protection – a place to live – for its partner. “It is a stable symbiosis,” Carlberg says. “The fungus does not deplete the algae, and the algae don’t overtake the fungus. Some individual lichens can live to be decades old, or in extreme cases, for hundreds of years.” Lichens are important indicators of air quality. Many are sensitive to air pollutants, so the clearer the air, the higher the likelihood of lots of different lichens. Changes in the species of lichen living in an area signal change in air quality – for better or worse. “Air quality is a major driver of lichen diversity,” Carlberg says. Lichens have been used in dyes, deodorants and wound ointments. Some are being studied for their antibacterial properties. Carlberg says much about lichens is still to be learned.4 continued on page 48 t MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 47

“Lichens have really exotic chemistries,” he says. In nature, lichens provide nesting material and cover for birds and other small creatures. Some animals, including deer, turkeys, caribou and mountain goats, eat them. Lichens take carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. Over time, they break down rock. Beautiful, resourceful and useful. With all that going for them, you’d think lichens would be high-profile. But mostly they get overlooked. When they are noticed, they can be mistaken for a moss or parasite. “Most people haven’t the faintest idea of what a lichen is,” says lichenologist Steve Sheehy of Klamath Falls. To increase awareness, California Lichen Society successfully pushed for a lichen to be named a state symbol, right in there with the grizzly bear and California poppy. Ramalina menziesii, or lace lichen, became California’s official lichen in January, making California the only state with a designated lichen. “I think it’s cool,” says Sheehy. “It draws people’s attention that there’s more stuff out there than what they know.” Sheehy is a volunteer at Lava Beds National Monument, where he’s working on a survey of lichen species. “We’re up to 166 different species. I found one new species – one that’s new to science.” He was honored with the Park Service’s George and Helen Hartzog volunteer award for his work. A carpet layer for 40 years, Sheehy participated in a lichen bio-blitz survey at Crater Lake National Park and became engrossed in learning more about the tiny organisms. “They are just fascinating,” he says. If you take the time to look, lichens are easy to find, he says. “They are everywhere. You can’t throw a rock and not hit a lichen some place.” The rainy season is the best time to observe lichens, says Ken DeCamp, a Shasta Lake nature photographer working on a book about lichens. With moisture, lichens plump up and many get brighter in color. He’s photographed lichen species throughout the North State – the foothills, mountains and coast. “You really have to keep your eyes open. Some of them are very small,” DeCamp says. “The closer you get to these things, the more amazing they are.” • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding.

N A S A E N G I N E E R DAV E A F F L E C K THE STEEP FOREST SLOPES and winding river of Dunsmuir were an alien landscape to the young Dave Affleck. Moving here for a short time in 1957, while his father sought temporary work, Affleck fished and explored the new terrain. Born in the Bay Area and growing up in Nevada, he embraced each new vista in his life with enthusiasm. Affleck never stopped seeking new adventures, even casting his eyes toward Mars. Scouting appealed to Affleck’s love of the outdoors. He camped and traveled the back country of Nevada and earned his Eagle rank in 1959, which entitled him to take part in Nevada’s Scout Day. One year he spent the day as Secretary of State, after which he received packets from all over the world, inviting him to scores of countries, adding to his longing for new frontiers to conquer.
College brought him two degrees: One in industrial design and another in mechanical engineering. Affleck’s exploration turned to designing products for Spectra-Physics. After 15 years, the company sold and the engineer turned to consulting. However, his love of the outdoors continued and he became scoutmaster, when he started a new Boy Scout troop. “I loved taking boys to the Grand Canyon and to unusual places,” Affleck says. He planned trips to Alaska, Death Valley and plunged into the waters of Mexico to scuba dive. Besides numerous local trips, he was scoutmaster for three National Jamboree troops. While consulting, one of his clients, NASA, offered him the opportunity to come aboard. His first assignment was designing experiments for Spacelab. “The project was to discover what would4 continued on page 52 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 51
happen during zero-gravity space flight if children were born,” Affleck says. “My work would be executed aboard Spacelab as well as the Johnson Space Center for comparison.” With each project, Affleck would design the experiment, then train astronauts to carry out the work in space. “Space travel is rough and brings upon a great deal of fatigue. The experiment has to be simple enough for a third grader to accomplish it, fit into a limited area in a space vehicle, and the astronaut taught to finish it quick, without error,” Affleck says. Each NASA project brought Affleck further into space, while in his free time he pushed young boys to see their potential in scouting. “I like to stand on the south rim of the Grand Canyon,” Affleck says. “I point out the tree line across the gorge to the boys. We hike 22 miles in and out of the canyon. I bring them back to where we were on the south rim on the first day and tell them, ‘If you can do that, there’s nothing else you can’t do.’” As retirement loomed, Affleck’s gaze turned toward Mars. Every pound of fuel limits a space flight. If Mars were to be obtained, the problem of transporting fuel to and from the planet would need to be solved. Affleck’s team studied the Martian atmosphere. Realizing the air contains the main components of rocket fuel, the engineers devised a machine which would take Martian air, mix it with a few vital ingredients and turn it into rocket fuel. “We simulated the Martian atmosphere, placed our invention in the chamber, and discovered the spacecraft only needed to carry the fuel to get to Mars,” says Affleck. “After arriving it could make its own fuel to return.” Affleck and his wife, Thera, began to seek a place to retire. Affleck never forgot the different landscape of Dunsmuir that he discovered in his youth. Over the years, he returned there with his family to vacation. Now, he sought to make the area his home. They moved to Mount Shasta in 2007, and for a while he returned to NASA, traveling south each week. His love of scouting continues as he works with Mount Shasta Troop 97, pushing boys to new places to learn their potential. NASA builds upon his work, pushing toward Mars. Affleck again stands on the south rim of the Grand Canyon with a group of boys. Affleck says, “Every time I do this, I think it’s my last. But I always know I have one more trip in me.” •

ANDREW WLODARCZYK IS PROUD of his Polish heritage, but he also knows his surname (pronounced WudR-Zick) can be a mouthful. So, when it came time to name his business, he settled on Woody’s. That happens to be the nickname he was tagged with early in life, but it has a friendly ring to it, and it keeps with the friendly vibe that surrounds Woody’s Brewing Co., the brewpub that has called downtown Redding home for more than a year. Andrew, 30, is front and center in the business, but a couple of other Wlodarczyks play big parts in the operation. Uncle Pat, a Reno resident who started brewing beer 32 years ago, is the brewmaster for Woody’s; Andrew’s father, Scott, who has had a long career in beer and wine distribution, serves as the sales and marketing director. It’s a triple threat, Andrew says. “I have a brewer who is scientific and creative, a marketer who is business savvy and me, who loves to do the research.” Growing up with a dad in the beer business had Andrew thinking about running a microbrewery when he was just 16 or 17. He correctly identified it as a growing industry and even asked his dad about it, “but the timing wasn’t right … but I knew this was something I wanted to do,” Andrew says. Andrew’s interest in craft beer continued to, ahem, brew, and the heat was turned up a few years later when Uncle Pat passed down his original brew kettle for Andrew to experiment with. That’s about when he began to realize that his uncle had become an expert home brewer and that his dad (who has long been active with the Shasta Society of Brewers and used to make beer with brewing pioneer Pete Slosberg of Pete’s Wicked Ale fame) was no slouch, either. Then he discovered that both dad and uncle shared his dream of starting a microbrewery.4 continued on page 56
MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 55
Dreams are one thing; the realities of business and the marketplace are another. There’s a reason three microbreweries have opened and closed in the Redding area in the past dozen years. Andrew knew he needed a solid footing if his dream was going to become a viable business. A degree in business management from Chico State University gave Andrew a foundation, and then there was another year hammering out a business plan. A lot of people told him it would take twice as long as he planned, and, Andrew says with a grin, they were right, but on Jan. 1, 2015, Woody’s Brewing Company opened its doors in the former Tapas Downtown building on Oregon Street. Fine-tuning that business plan also included deciding what style of beer to serve, while keeping in mind that a fair amount of Woody’s customers are somewhat new to the craft beer world. Pat says he has a passion for traditional German and English ales and lagers while Andrew notes that the North State’s hot summers have created a lot of light beer fans. Woody’s settled on a hoppy double IPA (India Pale Ale) called Berserker; popular amber ale called Teacher’s Pet; a light wheat ale called Woody’s Wheat I; a brown ale called Nutty Woody; and a refreshing style called Apricot Wheat. All five styles, and frequent seasonal offerings, were brewed at Lassen Ale Works in Susanville while progress—fitfully at times—continued on the planning, engineering, permitting and installation of Woody’s onsite 10-barrel (20 keg) brewery. The Wlodarczyks also whip up special “buzz tap” batches of more unique beers in a small one-barrel system. When everything is in place, including the four serving tanks that allow Woody’s to bypass kegs and pour the freshest beer possible, the brewpub will routinely offer 16 styles on tap. Look for a dunkelweizen (dark wheat), a schwarzbier (dark lager), a pilsner, a West Coaststyle session IPA, a pale ale, a hard cider and a black barleywine. “And I’m still fighting for more,” Pat says.
56 | ENJOY MARCH 2016
“Right now we’re really trying to show the drinkability of our beer,” Andrew says. “We’ll always keep our easier-to-drink beers on tap. We know our market.” Another consideration, Scott says, was the need to pair beer styles with offerings from the menu. On the restaurant side of the ledger, Woody’s aims for comfort food staples like burgers, fish & chips and the now-famous tots as well as a rotating slate of specials that allow head chef George Mellor to spread his creative wings a bit. The partners started off envisioning an establishment that focused on craft beer while offering customers something to eat “and it turned into a food place that serves beer,” Scott says. Karen McLeod, a waitress with 33 years of experience who has been at Woody’s since the start, says her customers appreciate the Wlodarczyk’s attention to detail and the relaxed family-friendly feel of the place. Most telling, she says, are the number of diners who respond to word-ofmouth advertising and quickly become repeat customers. Neil Petersen spends his days behind the bar, filling 64-ounce growlers, serving up pints and pouring sampler flights. “It’s been a blast,” he says. “I’m super excited to begin brewing. I think a brewpub helps revitalize downtown.” • Woody’s Brewing Company • 1257 Oregon St., Redding (530) 768-1034 • www.woodysbrewing.biz Hours: 11am to 10pm Tuesday-Thursday, 11am to 11pm Friday-Saturday, 11am to 9pm Sunday

S A C R A M E N TO A I R P O R T A R T FLYING OUT OF SACRAMENTO International Airport on your next vacation? Make your waiting time go faster by slowing down and checking out the art there. The airport is home to 18 works of art, thanks to funds provided by the city’s Art in Public Places program, which requires at least 2 percent of construction budgets for public projects to be spent on art. Some highlights: RED RABBIT, BY LAWRENCE ARGENT Anyone who’s passed through Terminal B likely has noticed the 56-foot-long red rabbit, suspended by barely-visible cables, seemingly leaping in from the outside. On the floor below the rabbit is a large granite “suitcase” he appears to be aimed for. This iconic sculpture inspires awe in children and adults, serves as an obvious meeting point and has helped the airport earn the designation as one of the best airports in the nation for public art. Red Rabbit (formally known as Leap) is made of steel and aluminum, and even has its own Facebook page and merchandise such as T-shirts and cards available.4 continued on page 60 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 59
FLYING GARDEN, BY DENNIS OPPENHEIM Outside the airport, approaching the terminals, several flying “birds” actually look like a mashup of birds and some other mechanical flying creature. These colorful sculptures, made of acrylic, stainless steel and corrugated fiberglass, invite passersby to consider all kinds of flight as they get ready to board a plane. YOUR WORDS ARE MUSIC TO THEIR EARS, BY LIVING LENSES (LOUISE BERTELSEN AND PHO SHU WANG) An interactive, 10-foot-high brass-colored horn provides a computer that, when people type text into it, transforms the text into music that emanates from the sculpture, allowing users to become composers as well as viewers and listeners. Passengers can be seen swiveling around in Terminal B to try to figure out what they’re hearing and where the sound is coming from. The two artists have collaborated for more than 15 years and have the goal of inviting the public to become co-creators of the artwork.
ACORN STEAM, BY DONALD LIPSKI Also located in Terminal B, Donald Lipski’s massive sculpture appears to be an oak tree dangling from the rafters. But it’s not your typical Valley Oak, though it is inspired by one. Wired with more than 3,000 LED lights, and with Austrian crystals of varying sizes wired into the tree to catch the light – both from the LED bulbs and from the natural light in the terminal – it puts on a shimmering, rainbowhued light show that delights people. Lipski’s collaborator, Jonquil LeMaster, took a latex mold off the actual bark of a Valley Oak, then used it to press the texture into the surface of the sculpture, making it lifelike as well as opulent. The title, Acorn Steam, is an anagram of Sacramento. 60 | ENJOY MARCH 2016
SAMSON, BY BRIAN GOGGIN Two 23-foot-tall stacks of luggage of varying vintages greet those who wait by Baggage Claim in Terminal A. The stacks, though jumbled, appear to be holding up the ceiling. Travelers who impatiently rush to get to baggage claim, only to wait for their suitcases to appear, can stop and de-stress here, considering the people who may have used these donated suitcases over the decades. This is just a sampling. Pieces range from traditional paintings and mosaics to technologically advanced, interactive pieces. Most are located outside of the security gates and are viewable to all. The art in the Sacramento airport, as all public art does, injects some liveliness into a space and gives it a distinct regional identity. Most pieces or installations show some whimsy; many provoke discussion. In a public space that’s usually more conducive to rushing, the artwork invites you to stop, wonder and enjoy.

THE IRISH ACOUSTIC winning singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Tim O’Brien. O’Brien’s talent has been strongly felt not only in his own rich roots music, but in the many recordings of his songs by such artists as Garth Brooks, the Dixie Chicks, Dierks Bentley, Nickel Creek, Kathy Mattea, and the New Grass Revival. Most recently, he’s been performing before capacity crowds in the band of Mark Knopfler, who described O’Brien as “a master of American folk music, Irish music, Scottish music—it doesn’t matter: a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers.” During his lifetime relationship with country folk and bluegrass music, he has recognized that the traditional roots of modal Irish ballads and vintage swing play an important part in the music he creates for his listeners.
leaving out something important that I’ve learned from the history of music.,” he says. Lúnasa is composed of Kevin Crawford (flutes, low whistles and tin whistles), Trevor Hutchinson (double bass), Ed Boyd (guitar), Sean Smyth (fiddle and low whistle) and Cillian Vallely (uilleann pipes and low whistles). In addition to Lúnasa, Hutchinson tours off and on with his old band mates, The Waterboys; Vallely has collaborated with Bruce Springsteen; Crawford performs with Martin Hayes and John Doyle as The Teetotalers; Boyd plays with Flook and Cara Dillon; and Smyth spends time in Ireland as a medical practitioner.4 continued on page 64 MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 63

Smyth explains that his job as a part-time doctor holds as much fascination for him as his music career. “They both are important. They complement each other,” Smyth says. In 1997, Lúnasa released its début CD “Lúnasa,” which became an immediate best-seller in Ireland, topping Hot Press’ folk charts and nominated one of the year’s top ten 10 by the Irish Echo in the United States. Since that time, the band has become one of the most soughtafter bands on the international Celtic music scene, winning many awards, including a nomination for Folk Album of the Year in the BBC Radio 2 Awards and Best Traditional Album of 2005 in Irish Music Magazine. The band’s most recent album saw it collaborate with Ireland’s RTE Concert Orchestra. “That was a great event for us,” Smyth says. “As for the future, there are many, many musical journeys left open to us. For now, we’re going to savor the orchestral theme and look forward to recreating these wonderful arrangements in theaters and with audiences around the world.” Inspired by Ireland’s great ‘70s group The Bothy Band, Lúnasa uses melodic interweaving of wind and string instruments, pairing flutes, fiddle, whistles and pipes in creative arrangements. Like the younger generation of Nashville musicians such as Béla Fleck or Edgar Meyer, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass into jazz and beyond, Lúnasa is redefining Irish music by going to the heart of its rhythms. 64 | ENJOY MARCH 2016
The result is a sound that, though distinctly Irish in flavor, touches on jazz and other improvisational music forms. “There are lots of great melodies in Irish music, but often people don’t hear the rhythms underneath,” says Smyth. “We try to relate the swing or energy out of the music, using new rhythms, letting each instrument add its own unique layer. We’ll play the same tune over and over, searching for the groove, exploring it. We let the music find its pulse.” Lúnasa has sold more than quarter of a million albums and boasts an impressive back catalogue of seven highly acclaimed and awardwinning studio albums. “We like playing for any nationality, race or creed,” says Smyth. “Our audiences don’t need to understand anything about jigs or reels or what they are, but that they can go to our performance and be genuinely touched and that it takes them somewhere spiritually different than what they’re used to.” • Tim O’Brien and Lúnasa Friday, March 18 Laxson Auditorium/Chico State University Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico Enterprise-Record, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue and Rolling Stone magazines.

THE BIG
T H E LO L E TA C H E E S E FAC TO R Y “EVERYBODY CALLS ME BOB,” begins Robert Laffranchi, the owner of Loleta Cheese, whose courtesy would pervade the entire conversation. Even the smallest gesture can speak volumes, and it became clear that Bob’s cordiality wasn’t just a formality, but also the foundation of his business and, as far as cheese making goes, an ingredient as essential as milk. The name Laffranchi, explains Bob, is of French origin, though his family emigrated from Italy. “The building where my grandfather was born in Italy in a village in the mountains was built in 1545,” continues Bob, painting an idyllic picture of a quiet village, of generation after generation of Laffranchis churning milk to cheese.
“I’m sad to say, no,” Bob says with a laugh. “We love cheese, but you’re actually talking to the beginning of the family line of making cheese.” No, Loleta Cheese wasn’t born during the 16th century somewhere in shadow of the Alps, but during the late 1970s in a Eureka High School classroom, where Bob was a teacher. “One day one of my students came in and asked me how to make cheese and I said, ‘I don’t know. I’m a cow man, not a cheese man,’” recalls Bob. He gave the student $15 to buy a book on the subject, and as a project, his class made its own cheese. “We made something like a cheddar, and everybody wants to know how it turned out and I tell them,4 continued on page 68

‘Well, the forester teacher would eat anything,’” Bob chuckles. It would be fun to think of Bob as the Breaking Bad of Cheddar, the Heisenberg of Limburger (though that’s the one cheese he doesn’t like), except everything about the cheese business is above the table, though it is dangerously addictive. Also, it wasn’t from medical necessity, but for the love of Gouda that Bob and his wife began Loleta Cheese in 1982. More than 23 years later, Bob is still the
cheddars, some flavored with smoked salmon, others with garlic. Each flavor is available to taste at the factory. “You’ll never leave without knowing whether you like a cheese or not,” Bob says. Friends enjoying the free samples have threatened to eat him out of house and home, but that doesn’t worry Bob. “No, no. My biggest problem would be if they didn’t like the cheese.” As if free cheese samples aren’t enough reason to visit Loleta Cheese, Bob invites people to watch the cheese-making process
Head Cheese of a company churning more than 30 varieties made from California dairy. And here in the small town of Loleta, an area that Bob believes “is like the better regions of Europe would be for producing cheese,” the town’s name couldn’t better describe a more welcoming place to call home. “Loleta is actually three Indian words,” explains Bob, “and they mean pleasant place at the edge of the water.” While those three words speak only to Loleta’s geography (it’s about 15 miles south of Eureka), it hasn’t stopped the Laffranchi family from adding to the town’s reputation as a pleasant place to be. Any factory able to make as much as 2 million pounds of cheese per year is more than just pleasant –that’s downright heavenly. But taste in cheese aside, Bob wants visitors to Loleta Cheese to feel welcome. “If you come into our business,” says Bob, “I want you welcomed right away, even if I’m busy.” Even when he’s occupied, the Head Cheese makes time for his guests, many of whom he speaks of as friends. “I may go get a cup of coffee and it may take me five minutes, or it may take me two hours,” says Bob, who enjoys chatting with visitors about anything from cheese to local history. The factory attracts guests from all over the world, which Bob says “is just plain fun.” The fun is probably the only “plain” thing that comes out of the factory, whose cheeses range from herb and spice Havarti to aged
through the factory’s large viewing windows, adding that Mondays and Tuesdays are the best days to come. Even days when they’re not making cheese, the factory is still open. They’ve built a garden that many people, locals and guests alike, use for picnics. And whether you’ve come for the cheese or just a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a meal, you might find yourself greeted by the Big Cheese himself, and no promises you won’t be offered some of the best cheese around— just don’t expect any limburger. • Loleta Cheese Factory • 252 Loleta Drive, Loleta www.loletacheese.com • (707) 733-5470 Open daily, 9am – 5pm

CAN YOU DIG IT?
S COT T C H A N D L E R ' S S A N D B OX THE LATEST INTERACTIVE EXHIBIT at Lassen Volcanic National Park started with the innocent sharing of a weblink. “Originally, my wife showed me a YouTube video and I thought, ‘I have to have one!’” Chico’s Scott Chandler says of the augmented reality interactive sandbox his wife Dorothy thought was impressive enough to show him. “It teaches people topographic maps and about watersheds,” says Chandler. “If you scoop out a hole, it will automatically recognize it as a lake. Make a mountain and a snow-capped peak suddenly appears.” He immediately set about looking for directions to build the interactive sandbox and found them on the internet published by the University of California at Davis, “so people like me could build one.” With his community-minded brain, however, Chandler knew the project would have much more of an impact if he got students involved. A member of the leadership team of Expect More Tehama, Chandler strives to translate his personal passions into opportunities for young people to grow.4 continued on page 72
MARCH 2016 ENJOY | 71
He spun his lifelong interest in hiking into the Tehama Wilderness Team, which started out taking six Tehama County students wilderness backpacking each summer. That project has grown to include multiple trips and has expanded beyond Tehama County. He has transferred his skills as the marketing director at Rolling Hills Casino into an annual project with Corning High School graphic design students to create the poster for Corning's Wine, Food and Art Festival. With the interactive sandbox, returning to Corning High School was an immediate idea. The school's administrator of district support services, Sally Tollison, saw the merit in the project and gathered a team of teachers, who in turn gathered students, to work on the sandbox. Arguably the most excited to hear the project announced was Faisal Alfanash, a computer science instructor at the school. “I'd seen the video of it a few months before Scott brought it to the school,” he says. He'd also been intrigued. As part of four teacher-led teams, Alfanash brought two students together to figure out the computer elements of the project. “The hardest part for me was not interfering,” he says. “I wanted them to figure it out on their own. It was such a steep learning curve.” Essentially, the sandbox uses an Xbox camera which senses depth of the sand, takes a 3D picture and sends it to a computer. Colors projected on the sand then change to reflect the topography. The deeper a hole is dug for a body of water, the darker blue the “water” will become. If a hand is held in front of the camera, it will register as a cloud and send “rain” down on the landscape. People become fascinated with how the topography changes immediately as a consequence of their play. Scott and Dorothy Chandler funded about half of the project personally, then helped find money
72 | ENJOY MARCH 2016
to finance the rest of the approximately $3,000 project. A high-quality professional paint job was donated to make the exhibit ready for its stay at Lassen Park, where it will be in heavy use. Alfanash worked closely with Nolan Kee, who brought in students to weld the frame, which included precise measurements in coordination with the computerized elements. Woodshop teacher Tommy Tomlinson oversaw construction of the sandbox itself, and Christine Lee's advanced media design students worked on visuals. Against the clock, the team of teachers and students managed to get the project done in time for the special Maker exhibit at the 2015 Tehama District Fair in late September. “They got it set up at 2 o’clock in the afternoon on the opening day of the fair,” says Chandler with great pride, noting that the team earned a Director's Choice Award. From the fair, the sandbox went to the Expect More Tehama Summit in Corning in November, where it stood out as an example of the good that happens when the community steps in to work with students and schools. The next natural transition was the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center at Lassen Volcanic National Park's southern entrance, where it was set up in January. Chandler serves on the board of directors of the Lassen Park Foundation and derives great joy imagining even more young people having access to the sandbox. “It's not inconceivable – I did some numbers in my head – that 100,000 kids a year will play with it,” he says. “If they have it for 10 years, that's a million kids,” he says. As for the team at Corning High, they're gearing up to build a second interactive sandbox that will be used within the Corning school systems. Chandler marvels at how one small idea became so big with the help of so many. “It kind of just flowed together, one after another.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

We’re not procrastinators, just economic hibernators. In our household, things start rolling again in March. Spring officially arrives, finances are reviewed/tightened, taxes are getting finished up, and the growing to-do list for the yard and house has to be tackled. I know we’re not alone, and the economy agrees. Historically, March is one solid time of year when folks are focused on finding good deals. Most consumers haven’t shopped much since the holidays, so there’s some serious itching for retail therapy. Grab some of that tax refund (if you got one), and let’s keep the economy moving! Here are some of the best items to grab major discounts on in March: CHOCOLATE – Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and that chocolate has got to go…right into our mouths! Time to stock up and save on your favorite guilty pleasure. LUGGAGE – Everywhere you look, luggage is marked down. Why? We’re between the winter and summer travel seasons, so big discounts can move the merchandise. JEWELRY AND PERFUME – There are a couple months between Valentine’s and Mother’s Day, and that spells “Eau de Savings” on fragrances and cuts to pricing on carats. SKI/SNOWBOARD GEAR/LIFT TICKETS – As we approach the traditional end of the season, retailers want to sell remaining inventory, and resorts want to get you back for a few more visits before the snow melts. Watch for specials!
BOATS – As the lake fills up and we anticipate more time on the water, thoughts turn to new toys. The boat shows also start popping up, and many folks upgrade to a new model. If it’s not a must for you to go brand new, this could translate into reeling in a deal on a recent trade in. FROZEN FOODS – Strangely enough, March is Frozen Foods Month. Got room in the freezer? Lots of coupons and savings all month. The Jolly Green Giant wants you to splurge on a case of frozen corn niblets. VIDEO GAMES/SMALL ELECTRONICS/ FITNESS TRACKERS – Many new game titles release before Christmas. Now that things have settled, games you may not have been able to even find are re-stocked and probably on sale. The rush on personal fitness trackers (like a FitBit) is over for a short time, but get them ASAP before others start snapping them up for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts. GARDEN SUPPLIES – Specifically, seeds and starter plants. If you can get an early start and have somewhere to keep those plants protected from late spring freezes, many stores want to rope you in early with discounts. Good luck on those shopping bargains, and have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

GIVING BACK

BY KENDRA KAISERMAN
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION 2 0 - 3 0 C L U B S U N D I A L F I L M F E S T I VA L S U P P O R T S L O C A L C H I L D R E N LEADERSHIP, SERVICE AND GIVING BACK to the community are core values shared by the Active 20-30 Club of Redding and its president, Todd Jones. “They’re an effective group of people. We have similar concerns and we’re just trying to do what we can to make the community better,” Jones says. The Active 20-30 Club has been around for almost 100 years and has clubs all over the world. Members are between the ages of 21-39 and they must attend two business meetings, go to one social, pay dues and help with one of the club’s events. However, a person doesn’t have to be a member to volunteer at an event. “We definitely have people that help with a lot of our events before they actually become a member,” says Jones. “We’re not going to force anyone to become a member, but we love the help.” The Active 20-30 Club of Redding holds two meetings a month: A business meeting on the first Wednesday and a social meeting on the third Wednesday of every month. The club coordinates fundraisers and service projects, with money raised at fundraisers going toward its service projects.
The club’s biggest service project is taking kids back-to-school shopping, Jones says. It’s a nationwide Active 20-30 Club tradition. “We took 40 kids last year, which is the most we’ve ever done,” says Jones. “They get $100 each at Old Navy, which goes a really long way. Every kid gets a brand new pair of shoes and a backpack full of school supplies.” The club also organizes an Easter egg hunt and the Big Race at Big League Dreams, where families “make box cars and run around in circles,” Jones says. “Our mission is to serve the children in the area, so that’s where all of our money and our resources go, but we have things like the Sundial Film Festival, which isn’t focused on children, but all the money we raise will help children in the area,” Jones says. The Sundial Film Festival will be March 5 at the Cascade Theatre. Out of the 30 films that were submitted, seven were chosen for the Silver Screen show at 1 pm and 12 were chosen for the Premier Screen show at 7 pm. The afternoon show is more family-friendly, while the evening show is for more of a mature audience. Every film is rated PG-13 or less. The 19 selected films were sent to the L.A. Film Studies Center, where an independent group of judges scored them. Awards will be granted to one film in each of the following categories: Best of Festival, Best Narrative, Best Documentary, Best Animation, Best “One Minute Movie,” Best Local School Annual Production, People’s Choice Award and Best Invited Film. Along with films, more than 100 photos were submitted for the Gallery Night that took place Feb. 13 at Old City Hall. The best of these photos will be hung upstairs in the Cascade Theatre on the night of the festival. Awards will be given to the Best of Show and the People’s Choice. The purpose of the Sundial Film Festival is to highlight the local talent of the filmmakers and photographers in the Redding area. • Saturday, March 5 • Cascade Theatre, 1731 Market St., Redding www.sundialfilmfestival.com Silver Screen Show starts at 1 pm (tickets $7.50), Premier Films Show starts at 7 pm (tickets $18); Tickets for both shows are $20

dream cabin come true?
Home Mortgage Lending Local farmer David Garcia found a perfect vacation cabin but his dream of future relaxation almost died on the vine. While he loved the cabin’s historic features, they were too unique for typical lenders. That’s when David turned to Tri Counties Banker Rhonda Noall who quickly plowed ahead with a TCB portfolio loan that was as unique as the cabin itself. Now that’s a rich harvest!
