We begin this month by honoring the mothers in our life, and end it by paying solemn tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation – it’s the perfect time for reflection. Artists color our world, and Phil Dynan and Anastasia Nelson do this in an especially bright and bold way. The owners of the Red Bluff Art Gallery are a creative force who have left multicolored marks on the community, to by Kara Stewart the delight of those who stumble upon their work. Others karastewartphoto.com deliver their creative talent in a more musical way, including the Buckhorn Mountain Stompers, an eclectic, salt-of-theearth ensemble that will release its first CD soon. Behold, the magnificent mushroom – you’ll find plenty at the 12th annual McCloud Mushroom Festival, in a town where mushroom hunting is serious business. Wine tasting, music and informative workshops will be featured, and you can cap off the day with a scoop of mushroom ice cream. Ready for a physical challenge? The inaugural Shasta Cascade Weekend Sports Festival offers options for everyone from 5K walkers to triathletes, and it will show off some of Shasta County’s finest attributes to participants from near and far. As a women-owned business, we at Enjoy Magazine have a soft spot for building strong, smart and bold girls, and Girls Inc. does just that. The local chapter is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a brunch and awards ceremony. And finally, Enjoy’s in-house fashionista reveals her tips for putting together a stylish summer wardrobe that will keep you looking cool when the temperatures soar. Savor the last few weeks of spring, and enjoy!

SPOTLIGHT ON WORDSMITH SANDIE TILLERY Sandie began writing for Enjoy in January 2007 and has been such a treat to work with! Lately, she’s cut down on her Enjoy stories so she can put more time into writing her first book. Some other interesting things about Sandie: 1. She spent a blissful adolescence living along the Trinity River in Trinity County. She and her three younger siblings were free to explore and play along the river and in the woods across the highway where they pretended to be water and woodland nymphs. 2. While attending Chico State University a long time ago, Sandie served as a regional director for a national sophomore women’s service organization called SPURS during her junior year. 3. Sandie and her husband lived “off the grid” for seven years in Whitmore when they were young and vigorous on a 250-acre ranch wrangling at- risk teens and a few cows, raising rabbits and growing an organic garden. 4. At 45, Sandie earned her teaching credential from Simpson University and taught in multigraded classrooms in both public and private schools. 5. She’s decided it’s time to write her long-planned books. It’s her retirement job. 14 | ENJOY MAY 2016
The Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council was very busy in April as it recognized National Child Abuse Prevention month with some great community events. It kicked off the month with a pinwheel garden at the office on Benton Drive. Many people came out to show their support and to plant a pinwheel in the garden of hope, including our very own Ronda Ball.
RIBBON CUTTING IN VISALIA Michelle, Yvonne and Ronda took a trip down south to be present for Visalia Chamber of Commerce’s ribbon cutting ceremony for Enjoy South Valley Living and Enjoy the Store, Visalia. What a great group of people! Monica Fatica is doing a fantastic job spearheading both the store and the magazine and has a great team behind her helping to build Enjoy in the South Valley.

A Tribute to Mom Betsey Walton: Cora Charlotte My mom’s name was Cora Charlotte, nicknamed “Cody.” She loved to copy Bible verses on 3x5 cards and keep them where she could see them through the day. Now she is gone from this earth and those verses she loved, written in her hand, are the best and sweetest lessons she taught me.
Cierra McGee: Shirley Goldstein When I was a little kid, the local library had a contest for young writers. My mom’s the one who got me interested. All I had to do was figure out the words and she did the typing. To this day, I still love writing stories. Thanks, Mom!
Claudia Mosby: Claudene ‘Deanie’ Coon Until becoming a (step) mom, I didn’t truly comprehend or fully appreciate the unconditional love, acceptance and repeated surrender required of the parenting role, gifts my mother has freely given to me with neither protestation nor expectation. You are my hero and role model, Mom, and I love you dearly.

Erin Claassen: Carol Peebles My mother instilled in me a love for travel. She saved and planned for years to take our family on a six-week tour of the United States when I was 12 years old. My eyes were opened to varied and intriguing landscapes and culture. My world changed for the better. James Mazzotta: Susan Fatica Mom— you have given me a strong sense of independence and curiosity. Like you, I have never met a stranger. I admire your strength, beauty and positive spirit! I love you Mom!
John Faeth: Jean Faeth The best thing about my mom is she’s SOLID; The Rock has nothing on her! She has always been my biggest fan, and lifted me up when I was down and supports and encourages me. I feel lucky to have such a strong, smart, witty woman to call my mom!
Jon Lewis: Peggy Lewis My 94-year-old mother’s most valuable lesson has been taught through example: Always strive to remain curious and open to learning more about the people and places in our world. Her favorite learning devices have always been travel, reading, polite conversation and loving friendships.
Jordan Venema: Shelley Venema Mum, anybody who knows you knows you’re a giver. You’ll give your spare time, your last dollar and all your love. About the only thing you won’t give is up. I couldn’t have asked for a better model of unconditional commitment, loyalty, and – of course – love.
Kara Stewart: Ronda The best thing about my mom, Ronda, is her laugh, and also the way she taught us to appreciate creation. I’m thankful for her.
Kendra Kaiserman: Kira Schneider The best thing about my mom is her strength. She raised me by herself and has provided me with everything I have needed since day one. She supports and encourages me in everything I do. I love you, Mom!
Kerri Regan-Schuette: Irene Schuette (motherin-law) and Lyn Regan (mom) I’m lucky enough to have two irreplaceable moms in my life, and they have taught me about loyalty, patience, generosity and kindness. Because of them, I value family above all else and I always try to take time to savor life’s simple but precious moments.
Kimberly Bonéy: Michele D. Woods No matter how old I get or what in the world I’m doing, I can count on one indelible fact: My mom is standing right by my side. She’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever known. It’s her special brand of love that makes me feel like I can move mountains.
Lana Granfors: LaJuana Hopson I grew up in a family of five children, parents both worked to make ends meet, so we did not have many material things, but Momma made sure we had a solid foundation and more love than money could buy. She died too young, I was only 15, and I believe that it was then that I received, unintentionally, my biggest and most valuable lesson: Life is short and don’t put off until tomorrow what your heart is telling you to do today. There is no perfect day to start pursuing your dream, and tell your loved ones how much they mean to you… often!
Melissa Gulden: Renee Glassburn The most valuable lesson my mom taught me was to never lose my faith. She has the most incredible faith in God, and even in my lowest moments, she will call me with just the right Bible verse to give me strength. And of course, she’s always right. Jeremiah 29:11
Melissa Mendonca: Jo Giessner My mom, Jo Giessner, knew intuitively that I have fire in my belly and need to blaze my own path. She’s never tried to hold me back, except for that one time in college I almost joined a cult. Now she’s out fulfilling her own dreams in a new travel trailer, and I couldn’t be happier. Michael O’Brien: Marcia Lopeman One of the most valuable lessons my mother taught me is to count my blessings! Any time I want to complain about the unfairness of life, she encourages me to focus on what I have, not to dwell on what I don’t have. Like a sugar rush, pouting feels good for a moment, but healthier thinking is best. And my mom knows best! Thank you for that, mom. I love you. Michelle Adams Connie Jarrett I am so thankful for a mom who always loved me, always supported me and most importantly, always prayed for me. I am so blessed to have someone who inspires me with her example as a faithful prayer warrior and caring friend. I love you Mom, more than you will ever know!
Phil Reser: Virginia Clark Reser My mother was killed in an automobile accident back in Missouri in 1996. She wrote letter to me a few years before she died, which was placed in her safe deposit box and given to me at her memorial service. I read her words to me every Mother’s Day as a tribute to her and the unconditional love she gave to me.
11/13/93 n, My dearest so a better place and a I have gone tonot grieve too long. It is better time. Do how inevitable. note to tell you This is just a you and to pray for ve lo I ty in your very much e and tranquili happiness, peac y firstborn and very life.

Thank you gs you have done for me. and all the thin ayers, my heart will be My love, my prr. with you foreve Mom
Richard DuPertuis: Patricia DuPertuis (1928-2007) My mother gave of herself. She had no aspirations anyone could see, other than being the best wife and mother. She was a dedicated community volunteer, and delighted in baking birthday cakes for her many friends. She taught me that even when I had nothing, I still had something to give.
Ronda Ball: Julie Olson Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful, thoughtful, funny, loving, amazing mom, Julie Olson, who has taught me the importance of family, honesty and integrity. I love you, Mom!
Taryn Burkleo: Debra Wood To the woman who gave me a childhood full of memories and love. To the woman who helped me navigate life’s ups and downs. You always supported me, laughed with me, cried with me, encouraged me, and allowed me to be me. To my mom, I love you.
Yvonne Mazzotta: Beverly Nocerini She is the reason I make things beautiful, because she is beautiful. Thank you, Mom, for believing in me. Don’t worry, Mom, I put on some lipstick for you : ) I love you!

GOOD TIMES

T H E 1 2 T H A N N U A L M C C L O U D M U S H R O O M F E S T I VA L AS YOU TREAD SOFTLY, there’s a gentle crunch of leaves underfoot. The sun shines through branches onto the forest floor, casting mottled shadows. It’s almost silent, though in the distance a bird sings its song, and a squirrel scampers up a tree. You scan your surroundings, eyeing the hunt. There, suddenly, a flash of color. You freeze, wondering, is that – could it really be? Yes, half hidden among the soil and fallen leaves, a flash of orange confirms the prey: the rare and elusive Golden Chanterelle. Mushroom hunting is serious business in and around McCloud, just southeast of Mount Shasta. Maybe there’s something in the air or the soil that makes the surrounding area so prime for mushrooms. “I don’t know if it has something to do with the trees,” ponders Darlene Mathis, vice president of the McCloud Chamber of Commerce. Mount Shasta creates its own microclimate, and as a result, says Mathis, “we grow larger, straighter trees, and twice as fast as most forests.”
Whatever the cause, McCloud is something of a mushroom mecca, and each year during Memorial Day weekend, the city draws its pilgrims. The 12th annual McCloud Mushroom Festival is, like most specialty mushrooms, a diamond in the rough. It’s there for anybody who is willing to dig it up. “McCloud is known for our wild mushrooms,” says Mathis, “and we actually have people come in every year – mushroom hunters, mushroom buyers. Our mushrooms are sent overnight to New York City. That’s how far away they go.” McCloud may be known for its wild mushrooms, but other than at its festival, where to find them will probably remain a secret. The mushroom hunters have their hidden spots, “and they never give them away, but it’s one of those things – they want to have a festival, but they don’t want too many people to know about it,” she says with a laugh.4 continued on page 20

“…we actually have people come in every year – mushroom hunters, mushroom buyers. Our mushrooms are sent overnight to New York City. That’s how far away they go.” You don’t have to be just a fan of mushrooms to enjoy McCloud’s festival. There will be wine tasting and music, as well as informative workshops – “all handmade products, like artisans, mushrooms, herbal products, and garden-type things,” Mathis says. Plus, it is a requirement that each food vendor offers one dish that includes mushrooms. The pulled-pork sandwiches are a hit, and the candy-cap mushroom ice cream is always a favorite. Bay Area chefs will be creating a formal mushroom dinner for an additional ticket price. Memorial Day weekend is an ideal time for the festival, since the usually sunny holiday weekend immediately follows the rainy season, which is the best growing condition for mushrooms. That means there should be plenty of varieties of mushrooms at this year’s festival – not your grocery staple white buttons, or the faux delicacy portobello, but the kind of mushrooms that can’t be farmed and are only found in the wild. We’re talking morels, candy caps, chanterelles, boletes. For those interested in branching beyond the white button, free workshops will teach attendees how to identify wild mushrooms. There’s also a workshop on medicinal herbs, which Mathis says is particularly popular. Children can entertain themselves at a clay booth where they can make bowls or dishes, or visit the resident entomologist – that is, the bug guy.
20 | ENJOY MAY 2016
By offering so much to do, it’s unlikely that McCloud will long be able to keep its festival a secret. In fact, Mathis says they don’t usually advertise the festival too far outside of the city. “But we’re getting more and more people that are into the mushrooms,” says Mathis, even though many “just stumble across it and don’t even know we’re having a festival.” That means most people have to find the festival not unlike a wild mushroom – you’ve got to know what you’re looking for and where to find it. If you do attend the festival, not only will you be able to sample the famous mushroom ice cream, but you might ensure that the next time you stumble past one of those hidden gems – like the king of all mushrooms, the King Boletus – you’ll actually know that you’ve found an edible treat worth almost its weight in gold. • McCloud Mushroom Festival, Main Street, McCloud • Free Saturday, May 28, 10am – 6pm • Sunday, May 29, 10am – 6pm Find the McCloud Mushroom Festival on Facebook

T H E A R T & WO R K O F J A K E E A R LY THERE WAS A DAY when Jake Early’s two art worlds collided, and the result was a professional change in direction that has brought him personal satisfaction and the world a more stunning way of understanding the places most important to him. Early, 46, a Chico native and now part-time resident going back and forth between there and Tempe, Ariz., is a prolific and highly collected serigraph artist who represents “places that are meaningful to me, and other people, too, for sure.” But he started out as a designer at Enloe Hospital, putting his graphic design degree from Chico State University to good use after graduation. It was a nine-to-five gig, but he was paid to be creative, so life was good. In his spare time, however, he was delving into screen printing, finding deep satisfaction in it. “I love the process. I love everything about it,” he says. It's not an easy process, though, and he says he even enjoys the intense physicality of the work. “I really enjoy getting my hands dirty. And my back hurts, and it stinks. And I love it.” Early grew up surrounded by screen-printed artwork. “I liked it. I didn’t know why I liked it. But I liked it a lot,” he says. That early exposure came from the works of Sr. Corita Kent, designer of the 1985 US Postal Service Love stamp. Sr. Corita was a teacher at Early’s mother's Catholic high school in Southern California, and was a dear friend of his aunt. Her work showed up in both households and Early was drawn to it. “It’s a look you can’t get in other media,” he says.4 continued on page 24 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 23

The screen print studio he set up turned out to be his evening and weekend hangout. “I just built this contraption in my garage,” he says. It worked. One of his first designs was of a Chico water tower. He was making prints for fun and giving them away to friends and family. The collision of worlds came the day someone from Chico Paper Company called, puzzled to see Early's name on a serigraph. She was used to working with him as a client, as Early would send Enloe's artwork there to be framed. Seeing his signature on a print was a curiosity she wanted to clarify. Once the story was told, she decided to represent his work. The company is now the primary source for Early's prints. “A year, two years after that, I quit my job to do this full time,” he says. Combining his love for screen print work with his love for his home town, Early developed a following by designing pieces that represented Chico. He's captured everything from Bidwell Park to Bidwell Mansion to the Hooker Oak Tree to the almond blossoms of the area's orchards. While perhaps most famous for his Chico-centered works, he has branched out to represent iconic areas of Santa Barbara and Highway 1. This year, his focus is on a series of California's wine regions. The first two, Napa Valley and Sierra Foothills, were released in March, with the second two, Lodi and Lake County, to be released this month. “Part of the fun is for me to do the research of each region and make sure I get it right,” he says. “I want each print to look like the place so you don't even have to read the place to know.”
24 | ENJOY MAY 2016
Early has branched out to do public art installations in both Chico and Tempe, and hopes to do more down the road, though he says, “The wine series is going to gobble up the whole year for me.” He's making his mark on his adopted community in Arizona, where he and his family moved when his wife landed a teaching job at the university there, but says his true love is California. Of his wine series, he says he's attracted to the “natural beauty of it, the fact that it's local, the fact that it's home. “I love this more than anything,” he says of his decision to become a full-time artist in the medium he loves. “It's really all I like to do. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't draw or ride my bike.” He chalks his success up to persistence, dumb luck and doing what he loves to do. “I probably work a lot harder than I ever have, but it's a lot more enjoyable.” • www.jakeearly.com www.jakeearlyart.com

FASHION TRENDS

summer lovin’ T R E N DY S U M M E R W E A R
IN WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN a flash of light, summer is upon us. As always, we’re on the prowl for looks that are both stylish and functional for the hottest of days and the balmiest of nights. Follow along for our take on the season’s freshest looks – with a twist, of course. THE SLIP DRESS - If you were to look deep into the recesses of your closet, you might find one of these. It’s been there since the 1990s – so pretty you couldn’t bear to part with it, but just a little too dated to whip out for your next soirée. Well, ladies, it’s time. Pull that baby out and see how fresh the old gal can look when paired with the accoutrements. Sure, she may be a bit slinky. But here’s the plus side: the modern take on the slip dress means you can pair it with virtually anything – from menswear blazers, motos and denim jackets, to dusters, long crochet blouses, vests or even other sheer dresses that pull just the right amount of color to the surface – all while covering up the areas you prefer to keep under wraps. Laid back enough to pair with sweet sandals or heeled wedges, yet elegant enough to pair with stilettos and a tuxedo jacket, we have a feeling Little Miss Slip Dress may just become your new bestie. ALL THINGS ROSE QUARTZ - For the first time ever, Pantone, the color authority where design is concerned, selected not one, but two hues as their “color of the year.” One is Rose Quartz, a delicate balance of rose with just enough blush to make it irresistible to even the most staunch “I don’t wear pink” girls. Consider this a neutral shade. Rose Quartz manages to be effortless in its femininity and is refreshingly modern. You’ll find this color gracing everything from basics to cocktail dresses and evening gowns, in addition to shoes, bags and jewelry. Functional for nearly every occasion – including the everdaunting summer wedding—an investment in a few staple pieces in Rose Quartz is a worthy one.4 continued on page 28 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 27
A FEW SOMETHINGS IN SERENITY - Pantone’s other co-color of the year, Serenity, has always been there, smiling at us from a beautiful spring blooming hydrangea bush, resting high above us in an early summer sky. This peace-making shade of periwinkle blue, appearing all over the runways, in hallways and on a sidewalk near you, is a reminder to relax, take a breath and treasure a moment of tranquility. Infuse this hue into your life in the form of some basics like T-shirts, soft baby blue denims and sundresses, but don’t be afraid to commit to bigger purchases like a killer bag or peacoat come fall. Something about this shade of blue will stand up to your bolder neutrals like navy and charcoal, but it knows how to play nice with other pastels and monochromes. Wear Serenity with its friend Rose Quartz for a fashion match made in heaven. BLOOMIN’ BOTTOMS – Long lauded as the mark of the spring wardrobe, florals get a fresh take this season as they are worn in the form of slim-fitting ankle pants. Pick a pair of bloom-covered bottoms, pair them with a tucked-in, loose-fitting camisole in a gauzy material or a T-shirt, and slip on a pair of heels (strappy or closed toe pumps—they’ll both work famously). If you aren’t comfortable with the idea of big, bold flowers, smaller blooms or a more subtle color palate will pull off the look more delicately. For fashion bonus points, seek out a bag with an embroidered floral embellishment or an all-over pattern, and bloom where you are planted. A CUT-OUT ABOVE THE REST – You’ve likely been noticing this trend for a while now, perhaps in the form of subtle skin-baring voids on the sides of dresses or keyholes perfectly placed on blouses of all kinds. The cut-out is here to stay this year, making its appearance on boldshouldered dresses (talk about a ‘90s throwback!), leaving one of the most underrated parts of the body completely exposed to draw the eyes in. Jumpsuits and rompers have also taken on the trend this season, leaving subtle yet sexy open spaces on the back or sides. This is, by no means, an encouragement to make yourself uncomfortable for fashion, but if you feel so inclined to try this bold look, both style and comfort will prevail. A built-in breezeway during the hot summer months in the North State? We’re all in. A TRIPLE THREAT – Want to add elegance to the typical summer wardrobe staple combination of shorts and a shirt? Add a blazer, roll up the sleeves if neccessary (because melting is generally frowned upon), and watch the magic happen. A word to the wise: be sure the length of your shorts and the length of your blazer are appropriate so that you can see both of them at all times. No point in turning heads by looking as if you aren’t wearing bottoms. Opt for a blouse that is loose fitting enough to stand alone with the shorts, should you need to remove the blazer for any reason. Pair this look with gladiator sandals for a more casual vibe or heels for an event that lends itself to something a bit more snazzy. •

In 1857, expanding fields of grain, mostly wheat, began near the river and stretched out as far as the eye could see. The riverbank itself, especially in spring, showcased a variety of bushes, oak trees and wild berries. Every now and then, a passenger could see evidence of recently vacated Maidu Indian villages and the acorn-grinding mortar holes. More likely, a curious coyote would sneak a peek from behind a large riverbank boulder. Several hair-pin bends in the river announced that the Sam Soule was approaching Willow Island, the landing at Yuba City. The two travelers thanked Mosby for a smooth and rapid journey, then debarked the Sam Soule and, to their surprise, discovered that the $3 passage fee included a wagon/taxi ride from the landing, across the Feather River Bridge to Marysville. All along the way, signs of rapid growth appeared. One of the travelers noted that “brick has totally superseded wood.” A visit to the local newspaper office of the California Express helped the visitors understand some of the “growing pains” that Marysville experienced, including the lack of a reliable water delivery system. Local residents still relied on horsedrawn water carts making regular runs from the river to homes and businesses. Yet, the town thrived. In 1857 alone, local banks and assay offices handled more than $10 million of gold nuggets and dust. The town’s many businesses included large mercantile shops, the most impressive of which was the large brick building owned by Ira A.

Professional entertainment regularly passed through Marysville, so the Oroville travelers took in the Julia Deane Hayne Revue. After spending a comfortable night in the popular United States Hotel at the southwest corner of third and C Street, the Oroville visitors once again boarded the Sam Soule and returned to their fair city. Within two months, water levels in the Feather River decreased significantly, ending the seasonal riverboat runs until the next winter. • Source: Weekly Butte Record, May 9, 1857.

GOOD TIMES
| BY JON LEWIS
THE RACE IS ON T H E I N A U G U R A L S H A S TA C A S C A D E S P O R T S F E S T I VA L
AS OWNERS OF AA SPORTS, a Beaverton, Ore.-based company that owns, times and/or manages more than 100 races in the Pacific Northwest, Jon and Carol Atherton have stopped in Redding plenty of times—but only as a fuel and lodging stopover on Interstate 5. If they had a chance to look around, triathlon enthusiast Randy Carter was convinced they’d see what he sees: everything a triathlete could ask for. An alpine lake perfect for swimming—complete with Shasta Dam filling in as a one-of-a-kind observation stand, a vast swath of countryside ideal for a bike course, and miles and miles of trails to run on. Carter, a retired Redding firefighter, knows from triathlons. He has traveled the world to compete in them and even qualified six times for the prestigious Ironman event in Hawaii. He has long had a dream of being able to race in his own backyard. “As I ride around here, I’m always thinking this has got everything you need,” says Carter, who has completed 16 full-length triathlons
(2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run) and 50 longcourse (or “half-iron”) races that call for a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and a half-marathon (13.1-mile run). “It has been a goal of mine for the past 10 or 12 years to bring a triathlon here,” Carter says. “I knew we had everything to put on a high quality race.” Nancy Cardoso, a personal trainer, triathlon coach and a competitive runner, shares Carter’s goal. “We wanted a race to show off all the great things Shasta County has to offer,” she says. What the two needed was a qualified race director, like AA Sports, the company that created the hugely popular Pacific Crest Weekend Sports Festival in Sunriver, Ore. That three-day event, now in its 20th year, draws some 5,000 people to the Bend area each June during what was traditionally a slow time of year. An economist with Southern Oregon University estimated Pacific Crest’s economic impact at more than $20 million.4 continued on page 36 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 35
Carter and Cardoso reached out to AA Sports and the Athertons were interested. Chad New, the director of industry relations and sales with the Redding Convention and Visitors Bureau, says he also saw the potential and joined the team. He personally invited the Athertons to the North State for a more extensive look around. They liked what they saw. “They were speechless,” says New. “It may be the best venue they ever found.” “To say I was pleasantly surprised doesn’t do it justice,” Jon Atherton says. Adds his wife: “I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I didn’t have a clue. I was shocked at how much Redding had to offer. That really inspired me to want to showcase it, to show it off.” And so was born the inaugural Shasta Cascade Weekend Sports Festival, “an event so big, unique and fun, it takes three cities to make it happen,” the organizers say. Redding, Anderson and Shasta Lake have combined forces “to offer athletes, families and friends of all ages a festival getaway that will become a tradition for years to come.” The festival will be held over Memorial Day weekend. The three-day weekend gives endurance athletes a day to travel and a day to recover, and late May should offer good lake levels and cool, but not cold, water temperatures. It should also prevent athletes from having to compete for six or more hours in Redding’s intense summer heat. Carol Atherton says the Shasta Cascade is designed to appeal to athletes and their families throughout the western United States and Canada, so having the extra day off is conducive to travelers. “If it was just a regular weekend, I don’t think it would be as successful, and if you do it in the summer when kids are out of school, then you just get the athletes that come out to race. “We’re trying to build a whole family adventure. With so many events, you don’t have to be a seasoned athlete,” she said. “We want locals to feel that this is their event. Come out and be proud. Be on a team, walk the 5K or halfmarathon. Come get your medal. It’s really a family event.” Like its Oregon counterpart, the Shasta Cascade will feature long-course and shorter Olympic triathlons, a
36 | ENJOY MAY 2016
marathon, a half-marathon, an endurance duathlon (bike and run), 10K and 5K races, casual bike tours and the Kids’ Pedal, Splash & Dash for children 12 and under. The triathlon course starts with a swim in Shasta Lake from the Centimudi boat ramp. Competitors will then bicycle through the city of Shasta Lake and into the Jones Valley area before heading southeast to Anderson and back north to Redding and the finish line at the Civic Auditorium. The third and final leg of the race will take runners out on the Sacramento River Trail. The shorter races and bike tours will all start and finish at the Civic Auditorium, which will be transformed into a sports exposition area complete with live entertainment, food and beverages, a beer garden and vendors exhibiting gear, apparel and health products. The festival also will offer students and service club members a chance to volunteer and earn money for their nonprofit organizations. The Redding area, with its proximity to Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay area, its superior air quality and highway access and its scenic highlights like Shasta Lake, Shasta Dam, the Sundial Bridge and the Sacramento River Trail system, has the potential to surpass the Pacific Crest Weekend, Jon Atherton says. “That’s the goal for Shasta County. To bring people in, increase the economy, and open the eyes of everybody to realize what a wonderful place you guys live in. Hopefully they’ll come back more than once a year and bring more dollars,” Jon Atherton says. • For registration and volunteer information, visit www.shastasportsfest.com

At some point, a new vision started to take root. All her home haircuts, sewing and crafting projects and her compassion for others seemed to lead her in a new direction. A seed had been planted and in the past four years has taken root for her growing business venture, Annie’s Styles and Stitches, located in the heart of Palo Cedro. After working in the public school system for many years, Schwenning’s love for the students, hearing about their joys and heartaches, gave her the idea to open a formal-wear rental business. She wanted to have a place where girls could find high-end party dresses and gowns for a price they could afford, so every girl could attend the prom and feel beautiful. But she wasn’t content to just rent pretty clothes and dressy shoes. Schwenning wanted to provide a full range of services for the girls. She earned her cosmetology license while building her business and now offers her services along with others who rent space in her shop. A nail technician, an aesthetician specializing in waxing and facials, and three hair stylists share space in the rear of the business where her vision of a “one-stop shop” has become a reality.4 continued on page 40 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 39
Annie’s Styles and Stitches now stocks an ever-growing and changing inventory of formalwear, from prom dresses to cocktail and bridesmaid dresses. Schwenning has added tuxedo rentals to her menu of services. Schwenning grew up sewing with her mom, who was an accomplished seamstress. Now two assistants help her with sewing services that include alterations, piecework, custom projects and costuming. This year she will work with Kids Unlimited to help make costumes. She loves “bizarre” jobs for out-of-the-box thinkers. She often works with a local clothing designer, helping with new creations and others who need mass-produced specialty items such as bow ties. She says, “If it can be sewn or fixed in any way, I can do it.” But her favorite projects have grown into their own niche in Schwenning’s business. She and her team love to pamper brides and their wedding parties. She has occasionally closed the shop for private use as she and the others tend to the wedding party from head to foot, providing champagne and gourmet treats while transformations take place. One of the stylists is also a Cordon Bleu-trained chef who shares his culinary skills with customers. Originally located in the landmark windmill in the Palo Cedro mall, Annie’s Styles and Stitches recently moved into a nearby space with more room for the growing business. She dreams of adding a gift shop with accessories and handcrafted items. Schwenning belongs to a “Mastermind Group,” a concept first defined by Napoleon Hill in the early 1900s in his renowned book, “Think and Grow Rich.” Schwenning’s is a select and intimate group of women in business who encourage, collaborate and troubleshoot, helping each other become dynamic and innovative in their business practices. The idea blossomed from collaborative partnerships and has grown into another part of Schwenning’s vision, to support others as they build their own businesses. It is important to her to create a fun and creative environment for those with whom she works and customers who walk through her door. She’s an entrepreneur who wants to help others realize their dreams as she lives out her own. • Annie’s Styles and Stitches 9340 Deschutes Road, Palo Cedro (530) 227-3403 • www.anniesstylesandstitches.com

LIL’ LEAGUERS CITY OF REDDING’S GRASSHOPPER SPORTS PROGRAM A TEENAGER CROSSES PATHS with Gina Woznica at the mall and knows he recognizes her, but can’t quite figure out why. “If I was wearing a green shirt would you know me?” Woznica asks. “Coach Gina!” Over the past 18 years, more than 10,000 children have learned to kick a ball, swing a bat and run for a touchdown through the City of Redding’s Grasshopper Sports program, which Woznica and Theresa Urrcelqui launched in 1998 with a soccer class. “Theresa and I both wanted something for our young kids to be able to do,” Woznica says. “We wanted to offer a social, physical activity where kids could come out and learn different kinds of sports in a non-competitive setting.” Since then, more than 600 classes have been offered in kickball, football, basketball, softball, baseball and indoor
soccer. The annual Grasshopper Olympics features about a dozen stations, including baseball, basketball, disc golf, races, parachutes and an obstacle course. In the annual Grasshopper Triathlon, kids ride their bikes, then run, then climb aboard a “hopper” and hop their way through a course. Mini-Grasshopper courses are available to 2 and 3 year olds, and they offer a smaller class size with simpler activities. For many, it’s the start of a love for sports that extends all the way to high school – and sometimes beyond. In the Grasshopper Sports Zone next to City Hall, Coach Gina models the positivity that she wants her tiny athletes to emulate. “I want it to be a positive experience for kids and parents,” Woznica says. “I model for the parents first, so they can see how I want them to work with their kid in a positive way. It takes a lot of work to retrain your brain to tell kids what you want them to do.”4 continued on page 44 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 43
With a smile that can’t (and shouldn’t) be contained, Anthony Webb, 5, administers a swift kick to a soccer ball, sending it into the goal. “I like kicking it to my mom,” Anthony says. “The kids that are really good, I see how good they’re doing and I copy it so I can be as good as them. Kids sometimes watch me, too.” Meanwhile, Alexis Arnett’s blond ringlets bounce behind her as she darts down the field, giggling as she chases a yellow ball. It’s her first Grasshopper sport, but mom Lisa says she’ll sign up for softball, as well. “It’s teaching her coordination and how to be part of a team,” Lisa says. “It gets her energy going.” Although Woznica has handed off weekend and indoor soccer classes to other instructors, she still teaches Grasshopper soccer, softball and basketball, as well as Farm Camp. Some kids who were knee-high to a grasshopper when they met Woznica through this program are now teens who teach classes alongside her. “Isn’t that fun?” she asks. Woznica’s career has also evolved since that first Grasshopper class. She worked her way through college and a teacher credentialing program while raising her own three kids and running numerous Redding Recreation classes, including Grasshopper Sports, Giggle Bugs and Toddler Travels (all of which she co-founded) and Tiny Tots and ABC-123 (which she inherited). She is now a kindergarten teacher at Manzanita Elementary School, an achievement that she says was largely made possible by Urrcelqui’s encouragement and support. “Because I was teaching the Redding Recreation classes, I didn’t have to take my kids to daycare – they got to go with me and be with me. I’m so grateful for that,” says Woznica, the mother of Cody (15), Taeler (19) and Kaishla (21). She’s proud of how the programs have grown. She has helped write grants (mostly through First 5 Shasta) that paid for new furniture and educational materials for Tiny Tots, and for a shade structure and equipment for summer preschool camps at Enterprise Community Park. “We needed to be able to bring our classroom outside,” she says. “We wanted a sandbox, easels for outside, picnic tables, sensory gardens with herbs where kids could take scissors and cut the plants to smell them,” she says. And she hopes to never stop looking at the world through a child’s eyes. Years ago, she was leading the Toddler Travels class, where preschoolers and their parents would go on field trips. (The class is no longer offered for lack of an instructor, though Woznica hopes someone will offer to teach it again one day.) “We were walking along the river trail, and in one spot we saw a bird’s nest, then there were some fresh berries to pick. Then we saw fishermen fly fishing from a boat, then we saw a snake. One parent said, ‘Did you plant all of this?’ This is what you see when we take the time to stop and notice. If you are with your kids, stop and look and listen, and watch. This is what you’ll see every day.” •

NATURE HIKE
| BY TIM HOLT
T H E PA C I F I C C R E S T T R A I L E X P E R I E N C E “IT’S A CHANCE to see part of our country, see all the beauty that’s out there,” Kristyanna Virgona says about the experience of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Virgona is a volunteer assistant at the Dunsmuir Library. Over the past nine years she’s seen a lot of Pacific Crest Trail hikers, most of them young, come through the library to use its computers and recharge their phones. “Most of them are escaping from cities, getting out here to experience nature, before they get their first real job,” she says. After starting at the Mexican border and trekking through the baking heat of the desert, they finally reach God’s country, the Mount Shasta region. There were more hikers out on the trail this past season than ever before, thanks in part to “Wild,” the movie starring Reese Witherspoon that chronicled one woman’s adventures on the PCT. Permits to hike the entire 2,650 miles of the trail nearly doubled to more than 2,800 last year. So many people wanted to hike the trail, in fact, that U.S. Forest Service officials limited the number of hikers starting out each day from the Mexican border to 50, to help preserve the wilderness experience for those on the trail. “To most of the hikers it’s a sacred thing, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure they’ve been planning for years,” says Dave Harrison, who with his wife Vibeke runs a hostel for hikers in Etna. Last season, he had a record number of hikers stay there, nearly 500.
And, thanks to “Wild,” he notes, “we had a whole lot of what I would call less serious hikers who had the attitude, ‘If we finish, fine. If not, that’s OK, too.’ That’s not the typical attitude. Most of them are very goal-oriented.” The hikers get support along the trail from good Samaritans known as “trail angels,” who live near the trail and place coolers filled with sodas and beer and snacks along the route. Others take them into their homes and provide much-needed showers and homecooked breakfasts. It’s common for local residents to give hikers rides to and from towns along the route. Harrison’s hiker haven provides a shuttle service to the trail, 10 miles away from his hostel in Etna. He remembers one guest hiker who was from Scotland, in his 60s, and had just retired from working in a brewery. The company had agreed to pay him his salary for another six months so he could hike the trail, and his co-workers had chipped in to pay for his roundtrip flight from Scotland. Then there was the fellow from the East Coast, the retired prison guard, who, because of that job, said he “had lost confidence in humanity,” Harrison remembers. Getting out on the trail and mingling with his fellow hikers improved his opinion of his fellow human beings. For some who hike the trail, the experience is a chance to take stock of their lives, and can be a chance to take one last break before4 continued on page 48 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 47

TO MOST OF THE HIKERS IT’S A SACRED THING, A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME ADVENTURE THEY’VE BEEN PLANNING FOR YEARS
plunging into a first real job. And for some older hikers, it can be a chance to make a mid-course correction. The Castella Post Office next to Castle Crags State Park receives lots of the hikers’ restocking packages, filled with food, letters, new shoes and shirts. The clerk there, Carley DeVault, remembers one couple who stopped by one day to pick up a package. Before starting the hike, they had been pretty well off, with big cars and a fancy house. But they had grown tired of that life, sold everything they had, and set out from the Mexican border. When they got to Canada, they told DeVault, they were going to decide where to live and what to do with the rest of their newly downsized lives. For North State residents looking for a quick getaway, it’s easy to sample the trail on one-day hikes or short overnight treks. One of the easier access points is at the Soda Creek exit, just south of Dunsmuir off Interstate 5. You can start hiking the PCT just west of the exit and after a few miles of hiking, discover a series of cascading creeks and stunning views of Castle Crags. Or head farther north on I-5, go west off the freeway to Lake Siskiyou, and drive 11 miles past the lake to the section of the PCT that's just above Gumboot Lake. From there, you can hike a little more than four miles to a pristine alpine lake, Porcupine Lake, where you can enjoy a refreshingly cool swim on a warm summer day. • www.pcta.org

F O G H AT ' S J O U R N E Y F R O M P U B S TO P L AT I N U M ROCK ‘N' ROLLER ROGER EARL has been pounding the drums for more than four decades – first with the English blues-rock band, Savoy Brown, and then with the American boogie rock group, Foghat. “The very first big concert that I ever went to see was Jerry Lee Lewis when I was 12 or 13 years old,” he says. “And I said to myself, ‘I want to be up there on that stage.’ “Then, I got some Little Richard records and shortly after that, discovered Chuck Berry. He was never off my turntable. Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker were next. That's how I got started with the blues. It was my first musical love.” In the late 1960s, Earl, guitarist Lonesome Dave Peverett and bassist Tony Stevens were members of Savoy Brown. “I was about 20 years old when I joined the band,” he says. “It was a great time to be around music in Britain. We were all playing the pubs and clubs just learning our craft. There was a lot of speculation as to what a bunch of white kids
from London had to do with people from Detroit playing the blues. But it was something we loved. As Muddy once said, it moved me.” He was earning about $25 a week, usually working three or four nights. “I was a commercial artist at the time and quite bored with sitting and drawing black and white lines all day. All I wanted to do is play in a band.” In 1971, the three of them left Savoy Brown and formed Foghat with guitarist Rod Price. They wanted to take the sound of Savoy Brown a step further, and add more of a rock edge to their basic boogie blues. Says Earl, “We had been borrowing and listening to the blues masters long enough and it was time for us to go out and do something with our own signature on it.” The three moved to the United States, signing a record contract with Bearsville Records, a label run by Albert Grossman.4 continued on page 52

They recorded their first self-titled LP and began touring relentlessly for the next 14 years, being rewarded with eight gold, a platinum and a double-platinum record. Their “Fool for the City” album contained the trademark Top 40 hit “Slow Ride,” and cemented their place as one of the world’s top rock acts. “Our band was always a great band playing live. I remember promoter Bill Graham, who helped us out, saying one time, ‘I think these guys like to play more than they like to breathe.’ “It was so great to be playing at that time,” he says. “The venues were so varied back then. We would play shows with acts like the Buddy Rich Big Band, Albert King and Santana.” One of Earl’s greatest memories is when he got a chance to play with Muddy Waters, Otis Blackwell, Honey Boy Edwards, John Lee Hooker, Paul Butterfield and Johnny Winter, when Foghat did a blues tribute show in New York at the Palladium in 1977. “We were working on our Stone Blues album and we found out that the New York Public Library didn’t have a good archive of the blues, so the idea came up that maybe we should do a benefit to build up a history collection on the American blues. We were doing very well and it was a small gesture on our part to give something back.” By the mid 1980s, punk was forcing rock music into a transition period, Peverett went back to England while Earl carried on as Foghat with the other members, after a year playing as the Knee Tremblers, 1993 marked the return to touring for Foghat, as the original members reunited to record the album, “Return of the Boogie Men.” They followed that up with a new live CD, “Road Cases,” in 1997. In 1998, Peverett was diagnosed with kidney cancer, but kept touring with the band into the next year. Rod Price left the band and slide guitarist Bryan Bassett took his place. After Peverett passed away in 2000, guitarist and vocalist Charlie Huhn came on board. And In 2005, they brought back previous Foghat member, bassist Craig MacGregor. Since 2003, the band has produced three CD’s, “Family Joules,” “Live II,” “Last Train Home” and a new DVD, “Live in St. Pete.” •

TA K I N G I N S P I R AT I O N F R O M A N I M A L S W I T H N E L S O N A N D DY N A N A FRIENDLY DONKEY set against pink and orange hills under puffy clouds. Teens texting in a London modern art gallery, oblivious to the large painting behind them. Two sociable sheep with coats of colorful swirls standing beneath a cheerful yellow sun. The artwork of Phil Dynan and Anastasia Nelson is bright and bold with plenty of warmth and wit. That figures. The same can be said of the two Red Bluff-area artists. Each is an established professional. They also are a creative force together, collaboratively painting many pieces. “We work on something until we are tired and then pass it to the other person,” Dynan explains. Nelson describes the back-and-forth process as a multiplication of ideas, building on what the other has done. Through collaboration, two individual styles become a new, distinct style. “There is rarely any discussion,” Dynan says. “We’ve never had a disagreement.” A series of their animal paintings is titled “Animal Prescription.” The charismatic cows, cats and other creatures are an Rx for joy.
“People tend to break out laughing and smiling when they see them,” Nelson says. The animal art is big in Red Bluff, where it is featured in an 80-footlong mural on the side of Dynan and Nelson’s downtown business, Red Bluff Art Gallery. “I think it involves the community in a way you otherwise can’t do with your art,” Dynan says of the popular mural painted with the help of children and adults in Red Bluff. The mural images feature animals the married couple knows. A lot of them live at their home on six acres in the rolling-hills, big-sky, blue-oak countryside west of Red Bluff. The menagerie includes a donkey, five goats, 15 cats, seven dogs and a bunch of chickens. Many were abandoned. “We’re an accidental rescue and care center,” Dynan says. They didn’t set out to paint animals, but the quirky traits, stories and spirit of their companions inspire art. “We’re identifying them as beings,” Nelson says of the paintings. “I’m trying to discuss the personality or story of the animal with the color around them.”4 continued on page 56 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 57
OR STORY Y T I L NA O S R E PE H T S S “I’M TRYING TO DISCU The two artists paint – usually in oils and acrylics – in a large studio near their home, and have multiple projects underway. An ongoing collaboration is “Electronica,” a series of paintings about people and their electronic devices. It’s not condemning devices, but exploring people’s connection to them, Nelson says. “Are we using them as tools or are we becoming tools of them?” Dynan has been making a living as an artist since 1967, beginning with technical drawing for the U.S. Army. He attended Western Illinois University, where he had his first art exhibit in 1970. He has created posters and cards and written and illustrated books. The longtime runner gained international recognition for his serigraphy, notably artwork commissioned to promote running and cycling events, including the
Tour de France, San Francisco Marathon and Los Angeles Marathon. An offbeat pursuit was running for state Assembly in 2006 as performance art. “When I ran for office, I literally ran through every town in all nine counties,” Dynan says. Nelson attended the University of California at Davis to pursue veterinary medicine and veterinary illustration. “Eventually the art took more and more front stage,” she says. She graduated with a degree in studio painting and art history, and she is an award-winning photographer who strives for emotional realism in her works. Her art has been featured in numerous shows during the past 20 years. She leads art sessions at Red Bluff Art Gallery and teaches art at Tehama eLearning Academy.

May is Healthy Vision Month
Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. One is having a comprehensive dilated eye exam every year. Your eye care professional is the only one who can determine if your eyes are healthy and if you are seeing your best. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages. Two is knowing your family history, eating right, maintaining a healthy weight and wearing protective eyewear are also very important to your eye health. Diabetic Retinopathy (ret-i-nop-a-thy) is the most common diabetic eye disease and leading cause of blindness in American adults, as per the National Eye Institute (NEI). It is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision. Over time diabetic retinopathy can get worse and cause vison loss. All people with diabetes – both type 1 and 2 – are at risk. The longer someone has diabetes, the more likely he or she will develop retinopathy. Be sure to have a dilated eye exam at least once a year. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
(DCCT) showed that better control of blood sugar levels slows the onset and progression of retinopathy. How Often Should I Go? There is no single recommended frequency for eye exams. The ideal frequency varies from person to person, based on your risk factors. You have a higher risk of developing vision loss if you • Are over 50 • Have a family history of eye disease, or an existing eye condition • Have light-coloured eyes and skin • Are diabetic • Are overweight or in poor physical health • Smoke cigarettes More than 20 million Americans suffer from severe vision loss. While not all eye disease can be prevented, there are simple steps everyone can take to help their eyes remain healthy and reduce their chances of vision loss. If you don’t think you have risk factors, it doesn’t mean you are off the hook for eye exams though. People of any age, and in perfectly good health, develop eye disease too. Look at it this way: it certainly can’t hurt if you err on the side of going more frequently. So consult your eye doctor to determine what frequency is best for you. Preventive eye care is important for EVERYONE.

OF THE AN IMAL W ITH THE COLO R AROUND THEM.” Nelson enjoys encouraging people who claim to have no artistic abilities. “I say, ‘Come on in and play.’ They walk out with a smile, proud of their first painting.” Nelson and Dynan met at a Davis art gallery, where she was working and his work was on exhibit. They moved from Sacramento to Tehama County in 2002. “We were inspired by the natural beauty,” Nelson says. “There’s no end to places to explore here,” Dynan adds. Whether it’s a portrait of a barnyard cow, an abstract of the Sutter Buttes or a photograph of lupines at Lassen Volcanic National Park, the individual and collective work of Dynan and Nelson evokes feelings of place and purpose.
“It’s a sense of joy and inquiry into the world and how lucky we are in life,” Nelson says. • Red Bluff Art Gallery • 601 Walnut St., Red Bluff Hours: 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Friday; noon to 4 pm Saturday www.RedBluffArtGallery.com • www.nelsondynanart.com

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS
B U C K H O R N M O U N TA I N S TO M P E R S THE BUCKHORN MOUNTAIN STOMPERS have rambled down from the hills of Trinity County to dispel the myth that bright lights and big cities are the prerequisites for showbiz success. It’s not that this eclectic, genre-bending, salt-of-theearth ensemble is on a mission to defend the small-town way of life; it’s just that these Stompers all happen to hail from towns so small that they don’t have stoplights, much less any bright lights. Perhaps it’s that infrastructure-free background that makes their music so down-homey, fun and accessible. The proof is now in the digital pudding as the Stompers have greeted the spring and summer festival season with
their first recording, the appropriately named “Strut Your Stuff ” on the Redding-based Miracle Mile Records label. A CD release party is set for Friday, May 13, at The Dip in downtown Redding. The Stomper-in-chief for this quartet is Weaverville native Taylor Aglipay, the very definition of a multiinstrumentalist (guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass, piano, organ, accordion, harmonica, saxophone, clarinet, flute, drums and percussion) who also serves as music director, band leader and chief recording engineer. A lifelong musician who grew up with parents who played piano and trumpet, Aglipay set his sights on a4 continued on page 62
MAY 2016 ENJOY | 61
career in music at an early age. He washed cars to earn enough money for his first guitar and later picked up the saxophone to earn a spot in the Mt. Hood Community College jazz band. While playing his baritone sax for various reggae and ska bands in Portland, Aglipay hooked up with the March Fourth Marching Band and ended up on an 11-year ride that took him to stages all around the world. He was joined for the final two years of that tour by his wife, Danyel, who he first met as a teenager while backpacking in the Trinity Alps Wilderness Area. Danyel is the fiddler in the group, an instrument she first picked up at age 14 and then put back down in a fit of frustration. She tried classical violin as a 19-year-old student at Reed College and again surrendered. After earning a law degree from Lewis & Clark College, she worked in the Oregon Attorney General’s Office for three years, and then spent two years as a crew member with March Fourth. Her third and final try with the fiddle was the key. “I got serious about it five years ago after a lifetime of being a wishful beginner,” Danyel says. Overcoming those frustrations has helped her become an empathetic teacher; she now offers fiddle lessons through the Trinity County Arts Council. Erik White grew up in Rochester, N.Y., where he picked up a harmonica habit and an affinity for the Chicago Blues of Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon. A job with the now-closed North American Wilderness Academy in French Gulch brought him out west, and he subsequently met up with Michael Kielich, another French Gulch teacher and musician. Kielich befriended percussionist Stephen “Steve-o” Cantrell, who was playing with the Stompers at the time, and ended up playing guitar at Cantrell’s wedding, where he met the Aglipays. Family and work commitments led Cantrell out of the band; Kielich and White moved on in. 62 | ENJOY MAY 2016
If Aglipay is the musical brains behind the Stompers, Kielich is the band’s heart. A banjo and guitar player without any formal training, Kielich brings a passion to the group that he traces to his Lithuanian and Polish immigrant parents and what he believes was a telepathic gift he received from his late brother, Mark, before his brother passed at age 27. Kielich, a father of two and a home school teacher at Shasta Elementary, credits Aglipay with teaching him how to play in a band; Aglipay, in turn, says Kielich’s “raw, primal passion” is an ideal counterpart to his more structured approach to music. For his part, Kielich says he wants “to get to the core: music is a catalyst for making people happy.” White, the harmonica player, echoed the sentiment: “We just want to get people up and feeling the music.” In addition to the Buckhorn Mountain Stompers, Taylor and Danyel frequently team up to perform Gypsy tunes, Irish fiddle pieces and some originals as a duo they call Rainy Day Picnic. Their high-energy quartet, 4 Pounds of Lightning, is on a brief hiatus. The two also supplement their musical endeavors by selling jewelry they fashion from irreparable musical instruments. • “Strut Your Stuff” CD release party, May 13 at The Dip in downtown Redding www.aglipaymusic.com

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:

Family& Figs, Farms
T H E S T E I N A C H E R S R I S E TO T H E TO P W I T H M AY W O O D FA R M S F I G S IF YOU ONE DAY FIND YOURSELF perusing the produce department at Whole Foods Markets while on vacation, you may be surprised to find a familiar image on the box of figs that will be available over the summer months and into the fall. That will be Mt. Shasta on the logo of Maywood Farms figs. Shown from the vantage point of Bob and Karen Steinacher’s home in Corning, the logo represents a cherished view from the orchards of the nation’s largest grower of organic figs. “We don’t have enough supply anymore,” says Bob Steinacher, who markets his fruit without the use of a broker. Adding to the DIY endeavor, he also grows his own trees. “We’re probably one of the bigger self-contained growers,” he adds. Fifty percent of his annual crop is sold to Whole Foods Markets. The farm started with a small area dedicated to organic growth in 1990 and has increased its production as demand has risen. While production has been organic since the early 2000s, in the last five years, the farm has sold entirely to the certified organic market.4 continued on page 68 MAY 2016 ENJOY | 67
Edible figs, with their fat, teardrop shapes and creamy yet textured flavor, are a delicacy that fans look forward to each year. With a widening and more curious fan base, Steinacher has added varieties such as Brown Turkey, Kadota and Adriatic to his offerings, complementing his popular Black Missions. Of the Adriatics, a green fig with brilliant red interior, he says, “They taste like raspberry jam.” Maywood Farms is the only commercial grower of Adriatics, likely because they are an even more delicate variety than the others. In fact, figs are highly delicate, requiring expert hand cutting and immediate refrigeration upon harvest and for shipping. But he says, “My customers that know them go crazy for them.” Steinacher himself was a Bay Area boy who grew up in Los Altos on one acre of apricots, dreaming of escaping to the country to live the life of a farmer. It wasn’t quite the future his family expected of him, but they agreed to support his dream if he got a college education and spent some time gaining experience on the farms of others before starting his own venture. He dutifully went off to the University of California at Davis to earn an entomology degree and then began a series of foreman jobs in the Great Valley. “When I first moved here, I wanted to do something different,” he says of the land he and his wife settled on as their own in 1981. “A friend of a friend suggested figs.” The Tehama County farm adviser also extolled the virtues of the fruit, so the duo began planting Mission variety cuttings. “We’ve grown all of our own trees ourselves,” he says. If your image of a fig tree is something almost larger than life with a swooping canopy and massive leaves, you might be surprised to see the orchards at Maywood
Farms. Since the fruit must be hand picked, the trees are vigorously pruned to a height of about 5 feet. There isn’t time to harvest with ladders, so all picking must be done from the ground, making the rows of trees shockingly short. Like all farmers, Steinacher has been impacted by the drought, but he says his biggest issue is labor at harvest. Last year, 20 percent of his crop remained on the trees without enough humans to help pick. While he plans to pay an even higher wage this year to help attract more help, he is concerned about having a strong enough workforce for the long hours and precise skill needed to hand cut perishable fruit. Thankfully, he has more than enough power from the sun in his energy program. “We have enough solar power to offset all our irrigation needs and our packing sheds,” he says. Known as a leader in his field, and in the Tehama County Farm Bureau – he was named Farmer of the Year in January – Steinacher has been sought as a consultant to farmers in India as they expand acreage of figs there. He took his first trip to Hyderabad and Bangalore in 2014 with his daughter, Deena, a Chico State University agriculture student who one day hopes to take over management of the farm. (Son Erik works the packing sheds and fields in this family-run business.) “I feel like I have family in India now,” says Steinacher. “India is such an interesting country and the people are so nice and so welcoming. It’s just really nice to be recognized that I’m a pretty accomplished fig grower, which I learned by the seat of my pants.” If you can’t make it to a Whole Foods market but still want a taste of Maywood Farms figs, pick up a box of Newman’s Own organic fig cookies at a local grocery store. The culls from the fresh fig market are sent there for the iconic cookies. They may not be as delicious as a fresh fig, but they’re still a treat. And somewhat local, to boot. www.maywoodfarms.com

In 1885, just as today, the valley spread out with dots of barns and outbuildings along the horizon. The day before, he had made quiet arrangements with his brother in the logging town of Dana to provide wood to build the Burgettville Christian Church. The hamlets of Burgettville and Swazey lay on either side of the property which Rock deeded to the church, providing it with a place of worship on Sundays. The drive east from Redding on Highway 299 winds up into the mountains, looking for its terminus at the Nevada state border. The traveler passes through Burney and onward to McArthur, where a left turn onto McArthur Road (A-19) presents the church standing faithfully over the tranquil valley. Its white spire reaches up to the lazy clouds, standing straight like a proper lady waiting on her family to join her. The town of Burgettvile faded into obscurity. Swazey changed its name to Glenburn. The church was neglected. In 1912, William Hollenbeak made repairs to the building, purchasing it and rededicating the building as Glenburn Community Church. The town of Glenburn also met its demise, leaving the parish alone, but vigilant. Today, the active congregation of the Glenburn church keeps the building alive. The structure was renovated in 1985, and a two-year
attempt to remove dry rot began in 2009. Her longevity makes her the oldest church in Shasta County. Countless tourists with cameras seek her out, keeping her architecture in the eyes of admirers. Inside, white benches face the chancel, where each Sunday the pastor continues the faithfulness seen here over 131 years. Next door is her partner, the Glenburn schoolhouse, built in the 1930s. Offices were added in the 1980s, made to match the form and character of the original buildings. Each Sunday morning, music swirls from the Fall River Theater piano, which is the centerpiece of the annual “Old Ivory Keys” piano concert, sponsored each year by the Fort Crook Historical Society. Time moves in an eddy around the white wood walls. Horses have given way to cars, and her dirt roads are now paved. But the elegance and simplicity of the Rock brothers’ gift to the valley remain, a testimony to faith, pioneering and the steadfastness of the heart of community. •

TEN YEARS AGO, Barbara McIver’s daughter, Lila, a student at the University of California at San Diego, did a semester-long internship in Washington, D.C. and ended up working with the national organization Girls, Inc. As she learned more about its mission, she told her mother, “This is such a fantastic organization – you need to start a branch in Red Bluff.” And that’s how the seeds of Girls, Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Valley were planted. McIver, a Tehama County supervisor from 1992-2004 who had served on the Red Bluff Elementary School District board for many years, was no stranger to researching policy. And she knew from having raised four daughters in Red Bluff that, though the area had strong Girl Scout and 4-H chapters, this was something unique. Girls Inc. designs programs to empower girls ages 6-18 and help them realize their full potential. Their goal is to help girls become “strong, smart and bold.” McIver immediately began talking to other women she knew and enlisted some of them to help her form a board. One of the board members, Marguerite Sweeney, was an attorney in Redding. Sweeney’s sister was a founder of an organization called Girls Circle, designed to help girls become stronger and more resilient. McIver, impressed by the group’s effectiveness, took its training in Seattle and created a partnership between Girls Circle and the fledgling Girls, Inc. in Shasta and Tehama counties. Girls Inc. Executive Director Kate O’Rorke says, “We’re the only group up here addressing the whole girl: health and wellness, education, economic literacy, and empowerment in a safe, all-girls environment.” O’Rorke herself is the beneficiary of an all-girls4 continued on page 74

education: she attended Presentation High School in Los Gatos. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business from Arizona State University and worked in finance and real estate before taking the position. She and her husband have two girls, ages 8 and 5. “My oldest loves Girls Inc. and helping out,” says O’Rorke. “I think it’s very good for them to see their mom wanting to help other girls in the community.” A key tenet of Girls Inc. is that a girls-only environment is crucial to help girls focus on their interests and strengths, free from comparison to or distraction by boys. They put on educational and prevention-based programs in schools and community centers, such as the Anderson Teen Center and the Redding Rancheria. At Anderson New Tech High School, an economic literacy program taught high school girls how to manage, save and invest money; how to help others through philanthropy; and how to become financially savvy adults. Stashia, an Anderson New Tech student who participated in economic literacy training, said, “It has been very informational and has taught my friends and me how to balance a checkbook, manage bank accounts, and even write a resumé, in a fun and enjoyable way.” The programs – whether designed to help girls resist peer pressure, understand the power of media messages or to recognize risky online behavior – are research-based and delivered by trained professionals in environments designed to empower girls. But Girls Inc. is not just about training; the organization recognizes the power of relationships and role models. Girls are offered opportunities to meet and interact with positive female role models and begin to know the sense of camaraderie that comes from being part of a group of like-minded girls. On May 15, the organization will hold its Strong Smart & Bold Brunch at Riverview Country Club. The annual event is open to the public and celebrates the organization’s achievements and honors locals who have contributed and inspired them. This year is the 10th anniversary of the local chapter. Three women and girls will receive the Strong, Smart and Bold Award. Girls who have benefited from the programs will get up and share a bit about what they’ve learned. “We’re just so proud we’ve made it to 10 years and served so many girls,” O’Rorke says. “And the organization is still growing.” A special award is given out each year in the name of Barbara McIver, who not only got the chapter up and running in 2006, but served for the first few years as its executive director. “Establishing the award
(in 2009) was a wonderful surprise and one of the greatest honors of my life because of how meaningful the board was to me,” says McIver. The McIver award is given to those who have significantly advanced the local organization. • Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Valley For tickets to the May 15 brunch: (530) 527-7767 • www.girlsincnsv.org

TRAIL RIDERS M O U N TA I N B I K E S E A R C H A N D R E S C U E SHASTA COUNTY IS RENOWNED for its abundant year-round outdoor recreation opportunities: beautiful lakes, hiking trails, single-track mountain biking trails. But what happens when someone gets lost or injured while off the beaten path? That’s where the Shasta County Search and Rescue Bicycle Team comes in. Formed about a year ago under the umbrella of the sheriff ’s office, the bicycle team is made up of a small number of highly skilled and trained bicyclists willing to get on their mountain bikes on short notice to help locate a lost or endangered person. When Albert Sanchez of Redding heard about the team about a year ago, he knew he would volunteer to be
a part of it. An avid mountain bicyclist and a member of the Redding Mountain Biking Club, he says, “I just thought it was a good way to give back to the community.” The Shasta County Sheriff ’s office is in charge of several search and rescue teams, including a ground team, a tracking team, a canine team and a horse team, according to Rob Sandbloom, the office’s search and rescue coordinator. And with more than 225 miles of bicycling, hiking and equestrian trails in the county, the bicycle team fills a unique niche in locating and helping those who may find themselves in trouble while out on the trails.4 continued on page 78
MAY 2016 ENJOY | 77
Bicyclists can cover more ground than a rescuer on foot. They can hear cries for help where an ATV or motorcycle rescuer may not. A ground team might traverse brush and off-the-trail areas, working in conjunction with a cyclist riding the trails. In the event of a serious injury such as a broken leg, the rescue team might carry out an injured person on a “litter” or get the person to a clearing where an air ambulance can get them out. Prospective bicycle team members must be skilled mountain bicyclists and provide their own uniform and bicycle. Training is provided at monthly meetings in first aid, assessment skills, navigation and reading topographic maps. First-responder CPR certification and a background check are also required. The sheriff ’s office manages each search or critical incident and sends out the volunteers, staying in touch by radio from a base. “Our bicycle team volunteers are told to provide basic first aid and call back to base to request services,” Sandbloom says. Jim Lindquist, a retired California Highway Patrolman and avid cyclist, proposed the idea of a bicycle search and rescue team to the county after one search a few years ago for a missing child. The search and rescue team used bicycles to search along the Sacramento River banks near Cypress Avenue, where no vehicles could go. “It’s also a better and faster method of searching through parks and greenbelt areas than the ground team on foot,” he says. “Motorcycles or quads make too much noise.” While the bicycle team has yet to be deployed on a wilderness mission, it’s constantly training and also help out with community events. For last spring’s Shasta Mud Run, a fundraiser for the Youth Violence Prevention Council, the team acted as course marshals, riding around the 10K course with all of its obstacles and mud pits to make sure runners weren’t in any trouble. In May, they’ll help again with the Mud Run, stationing bicycle team members at evenly spaced points on the course, providing any help runners may need. The bicycle team has five members and is open to more. Before applying, those interested must attend two of the monthly meetings. On the third meeting, they’ll be able to apply for membership. “This really demonstrates their interest and commitment,” says Lindquist. • Bicycle Search and Rescue Team Meetings: Third Tuesday of the month, 7 pm Call (530) 356-0504 for location More information: scsarbike@gmail.com Sue Ralston is a freelance writer who enjoys life in the North State, especially the wonderful weekend destinations nearby.

GRAPE GOBBLES S E RV E S : 8–12 GU E S T S
INGREDIENTS 1 ½ lb. seedless grapes, green or red, or a mixture of both 1 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley ¼ cup chopped fresh mint 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 3 – 5 T sour cream PREP TIME: 20 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1 hour
DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Wash grapes and remove from their stem clusters. Thoroughly dry grapes or the cheese mixture will not stick to them. To do this, I use a salad spinner first and then place them on a sheet pan lined with a dish towel. Roll them around on the towel until dry. Set aside. STEP 2: You want coarsely chopped nuts for this recipe. I use my mini-chopper, but nuts can be chopped with a sharp knife or in a food processor. If using the chopper or food processor, be careful not to over process. Place chopped nuts in a shallow bowl and mix in the parsley and mint. STEP 3: Blend the blue cheese and cream cheese together, using a mixer for best consistency. Next add sour cream, a tablespoon at a time, for a consistency of softened butter. This cheese mixture should not be too thin or too thick/dry or it will not stick to the grapes. Place cheese mixture in a shallow bowl.

by Patrick John It’s truly gorgeous outside today. A few clouds dot the sky, the thermometer reads a perfect 75 degrees and a breeze has the trees swaying ever so meagerly. Tulips, roses, daffodils and peonies are miniature explosions of color throughout the backyard, and the dogs are lazily napping in some deep green, almost-needs-to-be-mowed lawn. And I’m INDOORS, peering through window glass that’s lightly coated with yellowish powder. Allergies really know how to kill the mood, and we are in the thick of it. I have my nasal allergy inhaler in one hand, and a box of Kleenex in the other. You may be, or have in your family, one of the more than 50 million Americans allergic to pollen. Today’s culprits are oak, mulberry and ash trees. We’ll throw in some grasses for good measure, too. The Pollen.com scale goes to 12, and today is a 10.4. We happen to live in an area where multiple pollen counts are high for extended periods of time. The joke for those new to the area is that even if you don’t have pollen allergies when you move to Northern California, you’ll have them soon enough. So what’s the best way to treat these allergies? I’ve had the yearly shot, take a daily allergy pill and use an inhaler. These all work, but everybody’s response is different. Allergist, pollen.com, and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America have some really simple, common-sense tips on how to minimize the effects of pollen allergies. 1) If possible, keep house windows and car windows closed on days with high pollen counts. 2) Don’t dry clothes or bedding outdoors on a line. 3) Shower at night to keep pollen in your hair or on your body from transferring to bedding. 4) Change your pillowcase three times per week during allergy seasons. 5) Avoid the outdoors on dry, windy days. 6) Rinse your window screens once a week to cut pollen buildup. 7) Wear your sunglasses every time you are outdoors, and don’t rub your eyes. 8) Replace your home HVAC filter more often, and purchase a higher quality/ premium filter with a MERV rating of 13 or higher, or an ERP of 1000 or higher (depends on brand). 9) Check the local pollen count or forecast daily and plan accordingly – Pollen.com is super easy to use. 10) Head to the doctor to see about shots or other prescription allergy medications. If you want to go the homeopathic or herbal route, green, chamomile, ginger or peppermint teas are all remedies for hay fever. Some folks swear by acupuncture to relieve allergy suffering, and others say you need a spoonful of local honey everyday to gradually de-sensitize to local pollen. If you don’t mind the mildest form of water-boarding, you can try a nasal cleanse with a saline solution in a Neti pot. As always, consult your doctor first! OK… two sprays in each nostril, a 24-hour allergy pill kickin’ in, and I’m ready to take on the backyard. Good thing, too – there’s a hyped up German Shepherd and a bucket of tennis balls waiting for me…

Lookin’ sharp H O N O R I N G V E T E R A N S W I T H P R E S TO N S H A R P
ON NOV. 11, 2015, 10-year-old Preston Sharp entered a cemetery to honor one veteran, not knowing that later that day he would develop an idea that would pay tribute to many. Last Veterans Day, Preston and his family went to visit his grandfather George Sharp’s grave at Redding Memorial Park. Preston wondered why there weren’t any flags out to honor the fallen veterans. “He got really upset,” says Preston’s mother, April Sharp. “I mean, we got home, and he was still talking about it and at that point I said, ‘You know what, son? If you’re this upset about something, don’t just sit back and complain about it. You have to do something about it.’ And he goes, ‘OK, well, I’m gonna do it then. I’m gonna put flags and flowers on all the veterans’ graves.’” Preston started collecting money in a jar, first asking some of his mother’s friends, then working to raise money. “I started doing chores,” says Preston. “In that one day, I got like $100,” Preston says. “Then, the next day my mom found out about GoFundMe and we started that with the money in that jar.” Since then, Preston has raised $1,430 on his GoFundMe page and has put 2,500 flags and 800 flowers on veterans’ grave sites. Preston is determined to honor veterans, rain or shine. “He goes out every single Sunday, and let me just tell you, here it is pouring, and I’m like, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t go out today. You know, you were sick last week,’” April says. “And he’s like, ‘Mom, do you think that when they were fighting for our country, do you think that they said, ‘Oh, it’s raining, we can’t go out’?’” Preston’s plan is to raise enough money to put a flag and a flower on every veteran’s grave site at Redding Memorial Park, then begin to honor the fallen veterans at Lawncrest Memorial Park. However, before he puts flags and flowers on new grave sites, he replaces damaged flags and flowers on graves he’s already put them on. He even “makes sure that they’re straight” and haven’t fallen over, April notes.

Preston’s efforts are not going unnoticed. He was presented with an American flag that flew over the White House and a certificate by California Representative Doug LaMalfa, which he was awarded in front of the fourth graders at his school, Columbia Elementary, on Feb. 17. He also received an American Legion Auxiliary Good Deed Award and a coin on March 6. Preston has a Facebook page to let people know what he is doing, “to get the word out and to get more funds for the flags,” April says. He currently has 857 friends and his goal is to reach 1,000. People’s lives have been touched by the ambition of young Preston. April recounts a few weeks back where a woman approached Preston at the cemetery, “crying her eyes out and was so emotional.” The woman shared with Preston that she was visiting her mother’s grave and thought to herself that she wanted to put a flag next to it, and when she came back another day, there was a flag with a flower from Preston “and she was so touched,” April says. “Other people have just come up and have said, ‘Thank you.’” The Sharps aren’t doing anything different than what they have been doing for Memorial Day. Preston believes veterans “should be honored every day and not just on a holiday,” April notes. Others are welcome to help Preston at the Redding Memorial Park on Sundays at 10:30 am. • Find Preston’s GoFundMe page by searching for Vet Flags & Flowers on gofundme.com.

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!
