YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

When the world feels out of balance, close your eyes, take a couple of deep breaths, and think about your blessings. Have you begun mentally composing your “things I’m thankful for” list to share at the table on Thanksgiving Day? We can’t fully express the depth of our gratitude for our veterans, whom we honor not just this month, but always. In this issue, read about a Redding resident whose family was captured by Japan during World War II, and who still calls the veteran AUTUMN ZANE who saved her every year to thank him. Then meet some local by Betsey Walton four-legged heroes, who are helping veterans navigate their way through post traumatic stress disorder. This training and support is available to any veteran in the North State. We’re thankful for the beautiful, recreationally rich region that we call home, and if you need some inspiration to get out and explore, tap into the experiences shared by a handful of North State octogenarians who celebrate life by hiking to mountaintops, jumping off bridges and skiing down snowy slopes. Ski and snowboard season is just over the horizon, and we’ll tell you more about the preparations that are under way. We know you’re still getting your Thanksgiving plans fine-tuned, but it’s never too early to get a jump start on avoiding the holiday rush. Enjoy our fun tips for creating easy but stylish décor to deck your halls, or if you’re looking for a bit more extravagance, consider treating yourself to a breathtaking Christmas tree at the Festival of Trees, where all sales benefit hospice services. If you’ve made your list and have started checking it twice, take a peek at our list of local, unique holiday gifts that will delight food lovers, explorers and home decorators. And of course, the fine folks at Enjoy the Store in Redding and Red Bluff are ready to help you make your selections. This month, we give thanks for you. Enjoy!

BRAVERY, HONOR AND

RESPECT “You know they say, live one day at a time. Sometimes it was an hour at a time. You never knew what was going to happen.”

P O W S U R V I VO R S H A R E S H E R S TO R Y

REDDING RESIDENT DOROTHY HUFF carries a special gratitude for her country’s veterans. They saved her life. Captured by Japan months after it entered World War II, she and her family fought starvation in captivity for about three years before U.S. forces liberated the Los Banos internment camp in the Philippines. Huff, then 11-year-old Dorothy Riffel, had accompanied her College Place, Wash., family to Mindanao, the southernmost island of the Philippines, to serve five years as Seventh-day Adventist missionaries. By 1941, she, two older siblings and their mother and father enjoyed a peaceful life on the coast in Cagayan. That life was shattered by the Japanese bombing at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7. Nearly 75 years later, Huff looks back on the day her family gathered around the radio to hear Franklin Roosevelt’s declaration of war. “I can remember my mother crying, tears just flowing down because we so far away from our homeland,” she says. “We were the only Americans in this little town.” They fled inland to hide among villagers. Months later,

says Huff, leaflets dropped from planes ordered all Americans on the island to turn themselves in. “The Japanese said if we don't surrender by a certain time, ‘We will shoot you when we find you,’” Huff says. Along with two other missionary families, they reported to the new authorities. They were briefly detained in what Huff describes as a “filthy” native shack, where family members contracted respiratory infections. Next they were trucked to an abandoned cabaret, where they were housed with about 200 other Americans. “Our quarters were chalk lined,” she says. “Ours was about 11 by 14. No curtains. No nothing. This was your spot.” The family of five lived like this for about a year. Then they were taken in open trucks to Davao, a full day’s ride which left them badly sunburned. There they were loaded into a cargo ship, which took two weeks to reach Manila. “There was almost no water,” Huff recalls. “And my folks got typhus fever from the rats.” They ended up in a barracks in Los Banos, an agricultural school campus about 40 miles southeast of Manila that the Japanese had converted into an internment camp.4 continued on page 12

Here they would live with more than 2,000 other Americans until the Allied raid the morning of February 23, 1945. Huff says their primary daily concern in captivity was food. The Japanese allowed the American Red Cross to distribute boxes filled with such items as peanuts, corned beef and cans of powdered milk. “One box each, only one time,” Huff recalls. She remembers her father rationing food from those five boxes, a little at a time. Huff calls the nourishment provided by their captors a starvation diet. “They took rice and they put a lot of water with it – real soupy. And then we would have just a little bit,” she says. “The internees would sometimes make this into a stew by adding tripe, tail or hoof discarded by the Japanese. It wasn't enough. Every day there would be people dying of starvation, even my friends,” Huff says. Huff credits the survival of all her family members to their faith. “We believe in God,” she says. “You have to trust in Him daily, moment by moment. You know they say, live one day at a time. Sometimes it was an hour at a time. You never knew what was going to happen.” What eventually happened was rescue, as much a surprise to the captives as it was to their captors. “We heard this roar. We didn't know what it was,” Huff says. She remembers during the ensuing gunfire she, then a 14-year-old girl, hid under her bed. She stayed there until she heard American voices.

“Not one of us was killed,” she says. “It’s a miracle.” A combined effort of U.S. and Filipino forces, the Los Banos raid is touted as one of the most successful rescues of the war. Amphibious tractors roared in after planes dropped paratroopers at precisely 7 am. Informed by a camp escapee, Allied forces knew that was when the enemy guard would be exercising, their weapons set aside. Fifty years after the liberation of Los Banos, Philippines, survivors gathered to commemorate in Los Banos, Calif. It was here that Huff was thrilled to meet one of the commanders who fine-tuned the rescue plan, then Col. Henry J. Muller, Jr., now retired brigadier general. Ever since, Huff has phoned this World War II veteran at his home in Santa Barbara every February 23 to thank him for saving her. “He’ll turn 100 next year, and he’s as sharp as he can be,” she says. “I tell him, ‘I’m alive because of what you did.’ And he always says he feels honored that God could use him.” She says she’s glad he believes in God, too. •

Bits & Pieces

H O L I D AY- I N S P I R E D V I N TA G E S H O P P I N G AT M O S A I C M A R K E T P L A C E THE INDOOR PAVILION at Big League Dreams in Redding, lined with beautifully decorated Christmas trees, held the warmth of the holiday season in its hands. Patrons hummed along with Christmas carols floating in the space above them, sharing glad tidings with each smile. This is the essence of Mosaic, an old-time, holiday-inspired vintage marketplace that is the brain-and-heart-child of two local creative entrepreneurs, Viki Twyman and Ginger Mallard. Twyman, resident artist at Altered Wing Studio, and Mallard, co-owner of Altered Wing Studio, pioneered Mosaic in December 2014, when they seized an opportunity to create a quality, juried holiday market that focused entirely on vintage, artisan-made and repurposed items. With their creative committee, including Troy Hawkins of Cerulean Gypsy, Bernadette Wheeler of Joyful Soul and Bobbi Berg of Toffee & More, who each have booths at the show, they create captivating holiday vignettes throughout the indoor pavilion, regaling shoppers with the charm of an

old Victorian village at Christmastime. The holiday tunes, live entertainment and the opportunities to snap a photo for this year’s Christmas card in a stunning holiday vignette are the icing on the cake of it all. The name was suggested by Berg to encapsulate the eclectic mix of vintage dealers and artisans. “We didn’t want all vintage or all artisan-made – we wanted the best variety for our customers,” says Twyman. Not bound by limitations with regard to design aesthetic or medium, Mosaic has become home to vendors who create handmade soaps and lotions, hand-dyed silks, painted art, mixed media jewelry, up-cycled furniture and home décor, as well as those who curate a divine selection in vintage and antique treasures. The annual holiday experience takes place on the first weekend of December each year. Mosaic boasts a one-of-akind opportunity to shop the sweetest selection of gifts, seasonal treasures and all-year-long curiosities in a relaxing and joyful atmosphere.4 continued on page 16

S K I S WA P E M O U N T S H A S TA H T H T I W S N I G E B SNOW SEASON

THE COOL BREEZE of November brings a powdered sugar covering of snow over Mount Shasta. Deep oranges and reds in the oak stands below mark the fading fall. The winter sports season is beginning and a hushed excitement fills the air of Northern California. The ski and boarding season begins with a Saturday event, on November 5, as local snow enthusiasts bring out their recreational equipment to turn each piece into cash or new equipment at the Mount Shasta Ski Swap. The annual event foreshadows the approaching snow-covered slopes of the Mount Shasta Ski Park and the preparation of the Mount Shasta High School Race Team. The swap is sponsored by two local stores, Sportsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Den and The Fifth Season. On the day of the swap, they accept used equipment to put up for sale, giving in exchange 100 percent store credit or cash, equal to 80 percent of the equipment sale. The Mount Shasta High School Race Team will sell refreshments and hold a raffle fundraiser during the event. The Mount Shasta Ski Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices are already open Monday through Friday, offering season passes. Instructors are preparing for new skiers. The park offers the Shasta Snow Kids package for children 5-8, a Family and Friends package for groups up to four, and individual instruction for both skiers and boarders.4 continued on page 20

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

A successful ski and board season begins with preparation. “Talking in person to someone who has knowledge will make your trip a success,” says John Kennedy, owner of Sportsmen’s Den. “Your fun begins with the right equipment and instruction.” Winter sports start with having the right boots and bindings, and choosing the board or skis which are right for the snow enthusiast. Good outerwear, including a base layer and outer layer along with a helmet and goggles, are essential. A good salesperson will ask you how often you will be out, inquire about your budget, then get you ready to ride with a properly mounted, waxed and toned board or skis. The store will have a vested interest in keeping you involved in the sport, while enjoying it to your maximum potential. Sportsmen’s Den offers a two-time rental program, allowing you to apply the rental price toward the rented equipment if you choose to buy it. They also have a trade-in program for youth, allowing customers to trade in products toward new goods as the skier or boarder grows. Clothing is also available for rent.

“The internet is not always the best place to purchase ski and board equipment,” Kennedy explains. “Working with a professional will give you the opportunity to find the best fit for your body, skill level and ambitions.” Beginners should also take advantage of professional instructors. Friends are not always the best teachers. Mount Shasta Ski Park offers options for children, families and individuals to learn, allowing the person to become a safe and competent skier or boarder. The wonderland of winter covers the northern mountains. The joy of the winter sun, the cool feel of ice crystals as one glides down the volcanic slopes of Mount Shasta are part of living in the northern reaches of California. John Kennedy says, “We want you to love winter sports as much as we do.” • Sportsmen’s Den • 100 Chestnut St., Mount Shasta The Fifth Season • 300 N.

Bag p U It K E E P I N G T H E E A R T H C L E A N W I T H C H I C O B AG S IN 2004, ANDY KELLER, the president and founder of Chico Bag, had come to a personal crossroads. He had just bought a home in Chico and was telecommuting for a company in the Bay Area when it was purchased by new owners. “I got a call from my boss and they gave me an ultimatum,” says Keller. “I could either move back to San Francisco or take a severance package.” Keller took the severance. Unemployment brought all the small anxieties one might expect, especially with his new mortgage, but knowing what he knows now, even Keller might agree that those worries couldn’t compare to a plastic bag blowing in the wind. One day after cleaning his home, Keller took some trash to a landfill, where he saw plastic bag on top of plastic bag. “And it was a windy day,” he says, “actually blowing bags into the adjacent ranchland. “Up to that point, I believed that if I recycled, if I wasn’t a litterbug, then I was doing my part, but it’s kind of a broken model.” Keller realized he wasn’t doing enough. That same day, he bought a sewing machine and fabrics and began

designing the prototype for the original Chico Bag, a reusable, compact bag that he hoped to supplant single-use plastic bags. Keller knows reusable bags aren’t always the most convenient product. “They’re hard to use because they’re bulky, and you have to remember to bring them with you.” Plus, canvas bags tend to get dirty and grimy with use. “I wanted something that I could fit in my pocket,” he says. By 2005, Keller had created the original Chico Bag, which he first sold at an Earth Day fair in the parking lot of Chico Natural Foods. Now the company has a product line of more than 20 different bags, ranging from backpacks to snack bags to grocery totes. The original Chico Bag starts at $6.99, while some of the larger bags cost about 40 bucks, but the draw of the Chico Bag has to do with its design, which includes a small carabiner and pouch into which the bag can be conveniently and compactly stuffed. The bags are made either from a 100 percent postconsumer recycled PET plastic or from “basically the same material, but polyester, and it’s not recycled,” Feller clarifies.4 continued on page 24

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“Not only does the bag fit in your pocket, but the carabiner allows you to strap it to your bag – they’re designed to be there when you need them,” Feller says, adding that Chico Bags also come with a one-year warranty. The company and Feller’s mission is straightforward: “To bag the single-use habit.” It might seem a simple gesture—to replace single-use plastic bags with reusable ones—but Feller puts the problem with plastic in perspective. “The average American uses about 500 plastic bags in a year,” he says, “and if everyone in the United States cut their consumption by half, that would be more than 15 billion plastic bags.” That number, he says, “is enough that if you tied them in a chain it would go around the circumference of the world 180 times.” The biggest problem with plastic is that it doesn’t biodegrade. At best, plastic photodegrades, explains Feller, which means that “it gets brittle and breaks into little pieces after it sits in the sun.” But this creates its own problem, since the plastic only gets smaller, eventually ending up in the ocean by means of runoff into rivers and other water sources. “Then it’s even worse for the environment because it gets ingested,” says Feller. That plastic “acts like little sponges and soaks up toxins that are in the ocean.” The plastic gets eaten by the smaller fish, which in turn get eaten by the bigger fish, and so forth all the way up the food chain until that plastic bag that you threw out a couple years ago comes back to your dinner table in the form of grilled halibut. The solution isn’t just reusable bags, Feller says. It takes more than Chico Bags, and it does require something of a lifestyle change. “But you don’t have to go cold turkey,” he says. It might just take a little thoughtfulness. “I estimate that 50 percent of the time, you don’t actually need a bag.” Feller knows this takes effort, but he and his company are walking the walk as well as talking the talk. Chico Bag employees pledge not to use single-use water bottles, coffee cups or bags at work, and the company has eliminated plastic wrapping from its manufacturing end. Sometimes they slip up, he says with a laugh, and somebody walks in with a paper cup. “It happens, and no one is perfect, but they expect to get heckled for it.” A little jeering and ribbing, though, is a small price to pay for a cleaner environment. • Chico Bag 747 Fortress St., Chico (530) 342-4426 (888) 496-6166 www.chicobag.com

paws for healing F I L L I N G A N E E D W I T H V E T E R A N ’ S K 9 CO N N E C T I O N S NOT LONG AFTER HANGING UP his flight gear from a 43-year career as a helicopter pilot, Vietnam veteran Bruce Riecke of Red Bluff noticed a change within. “Those compartments with doors on them—they didn’t stay closed,” he says. “When you slow down, and you’ve got time to think...” As if on cue, Keisha, his “little 20 pounds of fur” and companion service dog, snuggles up to Riecke, reminding him she’s there as he tells his story. “I found it very helpful to have this dog around,” he continues. “She had a sensing of anxieties and demonstrations of PTSD. She started picking up these red flags that would pop up in me.”

Realizing little Keisha’s power to comfort him, Riecke began thinking of the impact that dogs could have on other veterans experiencing post traumatic stress disorder. “The concept had so much merit I couldn’t let it go. It couldn’t let me go,” he says. He began researching programs to match veterans with canines, but didn’t find anything closer than Sacramento. What he did find was cost prohibitive, especially for veterans on a fixed disability income. He immediately went about putting together a team of people to help him get his idea up and running for local veterans. In March of this year, Veteran’s K9 Connections4 continued on page 28

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, though dog trainer Andrew Figueroa had started with his first group of veterans and dogs in June 2015. Riecke is based in Red Bluff and the training occurs in Anderson, but the training and support are available to any veteran in the North State. Marine Corps veteran Jennifer Bretney and her partner, Army veteran Shawn Casey, both drive from Durham every Friday to train their dogs, Critter and Scout, at the VFW Hall with Figueroa. A volunteer with Pets for Vets had helped them find Scout at the Tehama County Animal Shelter. “We realized that if we got them both certified, we could take them camping with us on Forest Service land,” says Bretney. While she looks forward to many camping vacations, there’s also a very practical component to the day-to-day living the couple experiences with various service-related injuries. “Luckily, our PTSD manifests differently,” says Bretney of the injuries she and Casey are managing. “His is during the day when he’s out in public. Mine is at night, though my nightmares are relieved when Shawn is with me.” Bretney, a teacher, lives with myriad illnesses and injuries, which have included four knee surgeries, cancer, chemical exposure and other as-yet-undiagnosed maladies. “I don’t really need a dog at work,” she says. “I need a dog when I have surgeries because I can’t have painkillers.” Finding and becoming active with Veteran’s K9 Connections has given the couple an opportunity to not only train service dogs, but to interact with others. “We really need that social interaction with other veterans,” says Bretney. “When something works, you can’t keep it quiet,” says Riecke of the success the organization has bred so far. “Veterans will talk to veterans.” “We’re targeting PTSD anxiety because in the last two or three years, every veteran I’ve met has anxiety,” he adds. Some, like Riecke, are, as he puts it, opening compartments of memory that have been long shuttered. Others, like Bretney and Casey, are managing more recent injuries. Casey was a combat medic in Iraq and Bretney was a combat swimmer injured in Okinawa, Japan. The training starts with a six-week series that is free to veterans. They may bring their own dogs or get help finding a dog to train by organization volunteers. They may then move up to advanced training, which is another six-week course in which a $10 donation is requested for each class. Those who move to advanced level typically hope to certify their dogs to Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Dogs must perform a 14-point test developed by Service Dogs International. “We aren’t taking any shortcuts,” says Riecke. While he won’t underestimate the impact of a canine companion or service animal for alleviating PTSD anxiety, Riecke notes that it’s one strand of a life-saving rope that may also include counseling, medication and spiritual development. “Pretty soon you have a pretty good rope that can be significant in a person’s life,” he says. With this, he gives Keisha an extra squeeze and she looks up at him as if in complete agreement. • Find Veteran’s K9 Connections on Facebook

Great The

Outdoors

AC T I V E S E N I O R S I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E WITH ALL HER OUTDOOR activities, it’s not easy catching up with Karen Little of Redding. Shortly after her hike on the Pacific Crest Trail near Lake Tahoe, she was headed out for a kayaking and hiking trip to the June Lake area south of Yosemite. What’s really amazing about all this is that Little is about to turn 80. And she plans to celebrate that milestone by climbing to the top of Mount Lassen. Retired forester Al Gronchi of Yreka admits he’s slowed down a bit over the past few years. He used to go on a weekly hike of at least 10 miles with a Siskiyou County group called The Wanderers. Nowadays he hikes with an older crowd, The Meanders, and does about half that distance. Still, that’s not bad for a guy 91 years old. What motivates these older folks to stay

active at an advanced age? Little enjoys the scenery of the high mountain regions where she hikes—and the cooler summertime temperatures. And, of course, there are the health benefits. Little says that at her last checkup with her cardiologist, she “passed with flying colors.” Velma Nile, 86, hikes a couple of miles a day with her dog on the Lake Siskiyou Trail. A former ski instructor, she still leads hikes on the upper elevations of Mount Shasta to look for wildflowers. The hikes, she says, are an outlet for someone like herself who, at 86, still has energy to burn. And, she notes, being active in the outdoors is a great stress reliever. The wildflowers are “just an added bonus.” How often do you run into an 80-year-old thrill-seeker? Well, meet Don Berry of Mount Shasta. He’s 85 now, but in his younger days, his early 80s, he enjoyed jumping off the 30-foot-high Wagon Creek Bridge into Lake Siskiyou, being careful to take out his false teeth before he took the plunge. But one day a deputy sheriff showed up at his front door and politely asked him not to do it anymore, because he was “setting a bad example for the teenagers.”4 continued on page 32

Berry stopped doing the high dives, but he still gets up at 5 am every day and walks at least four miles before breakfast. Jack Brooks, 83, jokingly describes himself as a “skeezer”—that is, a geezer who skis. During the winter he and partner Jeanie Bond ski five days a week at the Mount Shasta Ski Park. On the weekends Brooks heads farther up the slopes of Mount Shasta, “skinning” up a couple of miles and gliding down. Brooks tells a story about himself that gives some insight into the attitude of these active seniors. One time Brooks was down and out, lying in bed with serious back pain. But he had promised to drive Jeanie to the ski park. Once there, he thought, “Well, I can go back home and lie around with this back pain, or I can try skiing with it.” He decided to put on his skis. After one downhill run, the back pain was gone. These seniors may escape some of the aches and pains typical of old age by being active, but even when they do experience physical problems, they don’t let that stop them. Velma Nile, who does have some knee problems, straps on a brace and keeps on hiking. Al Gronchi uses a pole he made and designed himself to aid him on hiking excursions. Their philosophy, what keeps them going, seems to be a simple one: Being active is more enjoyable than just sitting around. Especially when your activities take you into all the wonders of the great outdoors. •

GOOD TIMES

THE TINSEL AND TWINKLY LIGHTS announce the Christmas holiday, but the season of giving celebrated at Mercy Foundation North’s Festival of Trees lasts throughout the year. That’s because the event is the principal fundraiser for Mercy Hospice services in Tehama, Shasta and southern Siskiyou counties. Money raised at the Festival of Trees – organizers set a goal of $100,000 this year – will help hospice nurses and volunteers continue to provide comfort and care each year to an average of 1,150 patients, and their families, who are dealing with a life-limiting illness or injury. Front and center at the event are the 15 namesake trees that have been trimmed by North State artists and decorators and displayed at Turtle Bay Museum as part of a dazzling winter wonderland scene. Each tree is sponsored, and after the party, they serve as festive holiday adornments for the sponsors’ home or business. Several of the trees are generously used to brighten the holidays at retirement homes and nonprofit organizations like Shasta Senior Nutrition Program and One SAFE Place. “For the most part, these 15 trees are put in very visible places. In January, we pick up the trees and store them, along with the decorations that can be stored,” says Michelle Martin Streeby, Mercy Foundation North’s senior development officer. “Our sponsors love this; they don’t have to do anything but enjoy themselves.” The decorated trees are among many touches that set the fundraiser apart, Streeby says. “We wanted to make it very different for the North State community. We don’t have a silent auction, we don’t have any bidding on the trees and we don’t have a raffle. “We raise money through sponsors and ticket sales. People who believe in the foundation’s mission and the Sisters of Mercy give outright donations. By the time the event occurs, it’s just a beautiful party and a celebration of this work,” Streeby says. The party itself is designed by Marlene Woodard and her A Planned Affair event planning business, which transforms the Turtle Bay Museum into a “stunning Christmas wonderland,” Streeby says. Distinctive touches usually include a horse-drawn carriage, carols performed by a bell choir and warm roasted nuts for arriving guests.4 continued on page 36

Inside, guests can retreat to a hot cocoa lounge, create a chocolaty treat at the s’mores bar or enjoy a signature cocktail created just for the event by mixologists from Market Street Steakhouse. Rather than a formal meal, guests are treated to heavy hors d’oeuvres crafted by Market Street’s chef, Wes Matthews. “It’s very much a cocktail lounge feel,” Streeby says. “And we always have music. This year it’s a DJ because this group likes to dance.” Cocktail attire is recommended. The dining and dancing is a festive way to support an important cause, says Maggie Redmon, president of Mercy Foundation North. “We believe it is important to increase awareness and support for this muchneeded service that covers the entire North State,” she says. “Hospice touches and provides comfort to so many people in our community.” Mercy Hospice has been such a tremendous help for Redding radio personality Billy Pilgrim that he spoke on its behalf at last year’s Festival of Trees. Hospice was a frequent part of his life in the past eight years after the passing of his brother, his sister and his father. “I think they’re angels, I really do. They turned my world around,” says Pilgrim, who hosts the morning show on radio station Q97 with Patrick John. “I felt the presence of the Lord with them. I felt so connected to those people; they were so good to me and my family. They helped me interpret what I was seeing. “I just think the world of them and it makes me think, if I ever retire, I would volunteer for Mercy Hospice. What they provide for people is way above and beyond the call of duty,” Pilgrim says. Mercy Hospice became a part of Beth Birk’s life six years ago when the Dairyville resident’s husband was dying of cancer. Not only did hospice care make those final days bearable, Birk says she also benefitted from the grief counseling provided by Mercy Hospice. Near the end of her time with Kristin Hoskins, the therapist asked Birk if she had ever thought about volunteering for hospice. “I said yes.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2016

Hospice just felt natural for me. I’m a talker,” Birk says. “I felt getting support from somebody was so important that I wanted to do that myself. I also changed my will and deeded my house and property to Mercy Foundation for the Red Bluff hospice office. This is an important thing for all of us to support.” Redding Bank of Commerce is the primary sponsor of the Festival of Trees and Tammy Parker, a business development officer with the bank, is a member of the team that decorates a tree each year. “It’s something we’re very proud to be a part of,” Parker says. “I take a lot of joy in doing this.” Supporting Mercy Hospice has always been a cause near to her heart, but it has taken on even more significance following the recent loss of a close friend to cancer. “It’s such an emotional journey for everybody. You wonder how they do it. It just has to be exhausting. It is absolutely amazing,” she says of the comfort hospice care provides. “How people got through this without people like hospice care, I can’t even imagine.” • The fifth annual Festival of Trees • Saturday, Nov. 12, 7 to 10 pm Turtle Bay Museum • Tickets are $75 • (530) 247-3424 or visit www.supportmercynorth.org.

VITAL SIGNS C AT H Y W I L S O N B R I N G S S I G N L A N G U A G E T O T E H A M A C O U N T Y

ON ANY GIVEN SEMESTER at Shasta College’s Tehama campus, the American Sign Language (ASL) classes taught by Cathy Wilson are consistently full, with many students choosing to advance beyond the beginning general education language requirement to a higher level of mastery. Wilson, who has been signing since the mid-1970s, knows the world expands for both the deaf and hearing when people can sign. She teaches like her daughter’s life depends on it. “My first daughter was born deaf in 1972,” says Wilson. “Profoundly deaf. And I didn’t find out until she was about 8 months old. That’s when my journey began.” Thankfully, the journey began just as the deaf community was emerging from what it refers to as the Dark Ages—a period in history when sign language had been banned in educational settings and the Oral Method was the only method used to teach deaf students. “A lot of deaf people felt inferior. They didn’t have the education and the opportunities that they do now,” she says. While she says, “my first perspective was that it was a tragedy,” raising and advocating for Robin gave a direction to Wilson’s life that has allowed her to impact lives far beyond her family and to open opportunities for many more deaf students. “My daughter entered the school system as they were bringing sign language back into the classroom,” says Wilson. Robin became one of the first students of a speech therapist in Tehama County. “That was my first exposure to sign language,” she says. Without it, Wilson and Robin struggled to communicate with any depth or meaning. When, at age 5, Robin became a resident student at California School of the Deaf in Berkeley, Wilson says sending her back to school after weekend home visits became excruciating. “When Sunday came around and we had to leave her, we didn’t have the language to tell her what was going on.” 4 continued on page 42

“...ALL OF THIS LIFE THAT SHE HAD IN HER THAT SHE COULDN’T GET OUT, THAT SHE COULDN’T SHARE, UNTIL SHE HAD LANGUAGE...”

Two years into the residency, both Robin and Wilson had enough skills for Robin to communicate a dream she had. In it, she was able to walk amongst strangers, touch them and communicate with them. They would smile at her and be at ease. She went through the dream touching people and garnering smiles. The dream was so beautiful and profound that Wilson says she finally understood, “all of this life that she had in her that she couldn’t get out, that she couldn’t share, until she had language.” This kicked her into gear to make Robin’s dream come true. “That moment, thinking that it was a tragedy turned into a lifelong dream,” she says. Deepening her skills in ASL and sharing them with others brought more opportunities not only for Robin, but other families of deaf children. “I had a triple reason to do what I do,” she says: help Robin, help other deaf children, and help other parents of deaf children. “Getting the language, I find, for parents is the most important thing.” Her first sign language class was taught as a community interest class at a local elementary school in Tehama County. “Seventy five percent of the people were there for one little girl,” she says. After substitute teaching for five years, Wilson was hired by the Tehama County Department of Education in 1988 and is now the supervisor and coordinator of interpreter services, having developed a rigorous training program for educational interpreters. “Tehama County was one of the first counties to do the interpreter leveling system,” says Wilson. In 2009, it became a state mandate that all educational interpreters be level 4 or higher.

Wilson is a local test administrator, working for Boys Town in Omaha, as one of the state-accepted testing programs. “I’ve had people as far away as Florida, Alaska, Texas, Arizona,” she says of her test takers. With such a robust interpreter program, Tehama County has become known as a deaf-friendly community. Wilson knows a mom of two deaf children who moved to the area for the educational services. She has more than a few stories from deaf people encountering her former Shasta College students around town and being offered help or better customer service because they were able to sign. Now 45, Robin is married and has moved to Modesto. Wilson has received recognition as Classified Manager of the Year from the Association of California School Administrators and is beloved by students from kindergarten to college for her teaching and advocacy. “Every time I think I’m going to be retiring,” she says, “I think of Robin’s dream. If we would have had this kind of program when Robin was little, she would have stayed home. I would have tucked her in every night.” •

LOCAL HISTORY

up The Ridge Photo by Al Rocca

B U T T E CO U N T Y ’ S PA R A D I S E

IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN the short distance from Chico to Paradise, you have probably sensed the dramatic change in geography and climate. The latter community, an unincorporated area until 1979, was occupied originally by members of the Maidu tribe and visited by Gold Rush miners in the mid-19th century. Later, it served as summer pasture for old-time cattle ranchers like Sam Neal. Though Paradise is only 14 miles up “the ridge” from Chico, summer temperatures are typically five to seven degrees lower than the valley. The physical change is noticeable as valley oaks and dry, brown weeds transition to sweet-smelling coniferous pine trees. Early settlers happily discovered economic success growing berries,

apples and pears. At the same time, the Diamond Match Company built a railroad from the valley to this area, immediately stimulating additional settlement. Paradise in the early decades of the 20th century realized a series of economic ups and downs until the post-World War II boom rekindled interest. Much of this new interest came from Southern Californians seeking a pleasant retirement environment. The name itself helped draw attention to the area. Interest increased when the moderate “mountain climate” was fully realized. The Butte County Board of Supervisors in 1945 realized that this growing interest in Paradise called for an improved road to the site.4 continued on page 48

The group secured federal, state and local backing, and the new two-lane highway, later expanded to four lanes and named “the Skyway,” opened for automobiles in July 1950. The result of the new transportation link and additional area promotion proved positive. The population of Paradise rose to 9,000 people by 1960. As more people visited the area, one obvious question asked of local citizens centered on the origin of the town’s name. Actually, no one is certain how the area received its name, but there are two commonly talked about possibilities. • •

A popular saloon, named Paradice, from the late 19th century, served thirsty gold miners and offered entertainment at numerous gambling tables – thus the connection (pair-a-dice). One early pioneer, William Leonard, on a hot summer day, drove his wagon up “the ridge” to discover a definite cooling of the air. Supposedly, he remarked to friends, “Boys, this is paradise.” Skyway near Pearson Road courtesy of Gold Nugget Museum, Paradise

Today, Paradise is home to more than 26,000 people. With more than half the population age 45 or older, the town still reigns as a retirement haven. Yet activity abounds everywhere, and for thousands of visitors who spend any time there, it really is paradise. • Visit www.townofparadise.com to learn more about the area.

Be Legacy

HOLIDAY

BY KIMBERLY BONÉY

e m o Hfor the s y a d i l o H D T AN E E W S

THERE IS NOTHING in the world quite like the joy and warmth of a home donning its holiday best. From lights perfectly tracing the eaves of the house to a window aglow with a stunningly beautiful Christmas tree, it’s the tender touches that bring us home with one glance. The effort it takes to deck the house in holiday regalia, however, can be daunting as we run to and fro to keep life moving forward. Sometimes, it’s OK to skip the big to-do in favor of some sweet and easy touches that are sure to give you that old happy feeling. Let us show you how.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2016

EASY

D ECO Y A D I OL

STYLISH CENTERPIECES A collection of apothecary jars in varying shapes, sizes and heights makes a perfect display for holiday candy or colorful glass baubles. Place a tall glass vase at the center of a large bowl with a candle of your choice in it. Gather small to medium-sized pinecones and arrange them in the bowl around the glass container along with smaller candles. Turn wine glasses upside down and fill the base (technically the part that would otherwise hold the wine) with miniature gilded pinecones or small glass baubles. On the flat surface of each, place a small pillar candle, leaving enough of an edge to properly support the candle for safety. HOLIDAY TABLESCAPES

Pick up some large, free-standing letters or stocking holders that spell out your favorite holiday word and place it on your mantle (or buffet) as an easy yet bold display of the spirit of the season. Create a garland of Christmas cards using twine and wooden clothespins and hang it above the fireplace, safely away from the open flame. Leave additional room on the twine and add cards as they arrive. OUTDOOR EMBELLISHMENTS Place a vintage sled, a pair of time-worn ice skates or a set of old skis (or all three!) outside your front door to usher in the holiday season with a touch of nostalgia.

Use miniature Christmas stockings to corral each guest’s utensils at their place setting. Stash a chocolate kiss – or a lump of coal – in the bottom of each one for an unexpected element of whimsy. Small wooden rounds left over from the fresh cut on your tree (or from a spare log from your kindling) can be used as coasters for your drinking glass or cup of hot cocoa. If the wooden rounds are large enough, use them as chargers under your dinner plates for a sweet accent to your dining experience. Hang a Christmas stocking on each chair at your holiday dinner and fill it with a party favor for each guest, like a small box of homemade cookies or a jar of your best cranberry sauce. Bonus points if you glitter-glue each guest’s name on their designated stocking. MAKE A STATEMENT Hang a series of individual glass baubles in a mixture of colors at varying heights in a window or from the ceiling as an interesting backdrop for your Christmas tree. Use fishing wire to create the illusion that each bauble is floating or use a delicate ribbon to add another dimension. Secure each one with a thumb tack. Throw pillows in festive holiday colors or with seasonal sentiments are a high-impact, minimal-effort way to infuse the holiday spirit into any room. Add a small Christmas tree to an unexpected place in your home. Consider Hot Wheels cars or Barbie dresses for a tree in your child’s room or vintage utensils and cooking gadgets for one in your kitchen.

Gather a few pretty poinsettias in galvanized pots and place one pot at each step to line the entryway to your home. A fresh pine bough makes the ideal adornment for your mailbox. Secure a sprig of wired faux berries to it for just the right touch of red. APPEAL TO YOUR SENSE OF OLFACTION Combine cinnamon sticks, orange halves, a cup of cranberries and a few sprigs of rosemary in a pot and bring it to a simmer. Enjoy the aroma of Christmas as it wafts all through the house. Affix cinnamon sticks to the outside of an unscented candle using a short piece of twine. Breathe in the joy of the season. Repeat. Replace your regular kitchen and bathroom hand soap with a holiday-inspired scent. Try scents infused with cranberry, orange spice, balsam or evergreen for something subtle enough for even the most discriminating of sniffers. •

ON THE MANTLE Use glass bottles in varying shapes and sizes on the mantle with fresh clippings from your tree as a sweet way to make use of leftover boughs from your tree. Add sprigs of rosemary and gilded twigs for height and dimension.

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:

GOOD FINDS

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS

R E CYC L E D G L A S S CO U N T E RTO P S A R E A S U STA I N A B L E O P T I O N NOT LONG AFTER PAM AND GARY KRUTH settled into their Lake Redding Estates home, they decided some remodeling was in order. The kitchen was a bit on the cramped side and they wanted some renovations that fit a little closer with their lifestyle and values. At the top of their to-do list were the countertops. Inspired by an architect friend in Philadelphia, the Kruths wanted to explore some sustainable options. An Internet search for recycled glass turned up information on Vetrazzo, a Georgia-based company that uses a patented process to fashion countertops out of recycled glass, and the Kruths were sold. The use of glass gleaned from curbside recycling programs, old traffic lights, stemware, stained glass, architectural glass from skyscrapers and other sources held a lot of appeal for the Kruths, and so did the idea of having one-of-a-kind countertops. “Every piece is an individual piece of art,” Gary Kruth says. Vetrazzo countertops were invented in 1996 by a graduate student in materials science, Don McPherson, who developed a process to combine a cement binder with recycled glass to produce smooth 9-by5-foot slabs. His company, Counter Productions, was based in a historic Ford assembly plant in Richmond, Calif. The company was purchased, renamed and relocated to Tate, Ga., in 2010. For the kitchen, the Kruths chose the “Alehouse Amber” style and had the material customized and installed by Redding Tile and Stone. The style gets its name from the use of recycled beer bottles, and the rich brown and sienna colors nicely complement the cabinets built by Beard’s Custom Cabinets in Redding. The brown hues also are complemented by the hammered copper sink and the Jenn-Air appliances with an oiled bronze finish.4 continued on page 54

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The Kruths are believed to be the first to use Vetrazzo countertops, says Liz Pearson, a sales associate at Redding Tile and Stone and a fan of the product. “I think it’s beautiful and I like that they have taken stuff that would go into our landfills,” she says. The material is not cheap—at about $2,300 per 9x5 slab, it’s comparable to high-end granite, plus the fabrication and installation cost another $2,500—but the Kruths feel its durable and unique nature make it a worthwhile investment. Remnants from the slabs were fashioned into trivets and a living room table, and there was even enough left over to form one piece into the shape of a large guitar pick—a fitting symbol given the Kruths’ longtime involvement with the Oaksong Music Society and their knack for housing visiting musicians. The Kruths also selected Vetrazzo for the vanity and shelves in the hallway bathroom, opting for the embedded shells and cooling blues and turquoise in the “Emerald Coast” style. The focus on sustainability extends to the kitchen cabinets as well, with the use of knotty alder. “It’s a renewable resource, too,” Gary Kruth says. “It’s the first thing that comes up after they log places.” Stylish Cherner chairs with a red gum veneer also accent the Vetrazzo countertops. The Kruths moved to Redding in 1994 when Gary Kruth, a commercial pilot, began flying for West Air, the company that contracts with FedEx for regional cargo delivery. Pam Kruth works at Mercy Medical Center as a trauma registrar. They remodeled their kitchen in May 2011; Dave Christensen and Ron Goniwicha of Best Choice Home Improvement were the general contractors. •

LOCAL HISTORY

| BY LAURA CHRISTMAN | PHOTOS ERIN CLAASSEN

Love of History

B E H R E N S - E AT O N M U S E U M I N R E D D I N G RICHARD B. EATON had a heart for history and a mind for facts. He was not one to be stumped by a historical question. The longtime Shasta County Superior Court judge could name Old Shasta’s first coffin-maker, recite details of a stagecoach robbery, narrate the stories behind Redding landmarks, point out the oldest buildings in town and provide particulars on the area’s first palm trees. His grasp of local history was encyclopedic, and the delivery precise and polite. He even looked historical, as if he’d just stepped out of a bygone era with his signature dark wool coat, white muttonchops and mustache and wireframed spectacles. Eaton was born in 1914 in Oregon, but lived nearly all of his 88 years in a two-story, shiplap house on West Street in downtown Redding. When he died in 2003, he left a $5.5 million estate and a will with a wish: Turn his 1895 house into a free museum. “The primary purpose of this project is to resist time and defy change—to show to future generations what a home of the Victorian period looked like,” Eaton wrote.

After several years and much effort, the judge’s plan is in play. Behrens-Eaton House Museum is open three days a week, showcasing Victorian furnishings and memorabilia. Two nearby small houses have become display museums filled with vintage books, letters, periodicals, clothing, toys, military garb, medals and other pieces of the past. The nonprofit museum complex runs on the energy of volunteers. It opened two years ago. The mission is sharing local history – not just looking at it, but interacting with it. Events have included a 1900s games day, quilt show and costumed gatherings to showcase stories of the North State’s past. The museum’s letters, books, newspapers and other documents are available to researchers. Bringing Eaton’s wish to reality was challenging. “It’s hard to start a museum,” volunteer Joyce Morrow says. The old home was packed with books, papers and a mishmash of memorabilia – not only Eaton’s, but also items saved by his mother and relatives beyond.4 continued on page 58

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The judge’s great-grandfather, Ludwig Behrens, came to Whiskeytown during the Gold Rush and sold provisions to miners. Grandfather Charles Behrens was Shasta County sheriff. Elected in 1899, Charles purchased the West Street house that same year. Richard Eaton was 4 when his father, Walter, died from the flu pandemic. The young boy and his mother, Edna, moved from Oregon to the Redding house. Edna was a teacher, Shasta County treasurer and a founding member of Shasta Historical Society. Eaton and his mother shared a love of local history and penchant for hanging onto things. “It was mind-boggling,” Morrow says of the many items in the house. “It was like a treasure hunt,” volunteer Alicia Coughlin says. Everything in the house was appraised, cataloged and initially put in storage so the house could be helped. “It was in extreme disrepair,” Morrow says. The wooden foundation had deteriorated and a new base of concrete was needed. “We raised the house and replaced the foundation,” Coughlin says. The old roof with eight layers of roofing down to the original shakes was replaced and reinforced. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom were repaired and remodeled. The house got new paint, wallpaper, flooring and carpeting. “We tried to get the carpet and wallpaper as close as we could to the original,” Morrow says. “We saved the tassels from the draperies.” Still to come are upstairs renovations, paving of the parking lot and construction of a gazebo. For visitors, a docent-led tour offers the opportunity to step back in time. Inside are a square piano from the 1800s, an 1895 painting of Mt. Shasta by landscape artist Harry Best, elegant dishes and glassware, vintage dresses, fur coats and an old safe. (The safe contained $98,000 – money paid to Eaton for the many weddings he officiated over the years. It was in bundles, each marked with a year.) Furnishings are a mix of originals and replicas. In the judge’s study, there’s a 1849 book with the first laws for Shasta County as well as a will Eaton handwrote before leaving for Stanford University at age 16. It spells out who should receive his fishing pole and tennis racquet. Collections in the two nearby houses on Butte Street feature items from the family and donations from the community. They include a penmanship book dating back more than a century, a 1952 map of Redding, the 1934 Maid of Shasta County dress, World War I helmet, Civil War writing desk, Boy Scout badges, stamps and postcards. And that’s just a smidgen. “There are wonderful, wonderful things,” Coughlin says. The museum is important, she says. “We’re giving back to the community some of this history that we think could have been lost.” • Behrens-Eaton House Museum • 1520 West St., Redding Hours: 10 am to 4 pm Tuesday and Wednesday and 1 to 4 pm Saturday Free; donations accepted www.eatonhousemuseum.org • (530) 241-3454

Music Man T H E M U S I C A L J O U R N E Y O F TO M M Y E M M A N U E L

TOMMY EMMANUEL SAYS, “What I’m doing now is living out the dream that I had when I was a kid. I always wanted to play music all over the world, and that’s what I’m doing.” Born in the coal-mining town of Muswellbrook in New South Wales, Australia, Emmanuel began playing the guitar when he was 4. At age 6, he started touring the Australian outback with his family. He talks about hearing legendary American country guitarist Chet Atkins on the Australian radio and discovering the style of finger-picking guitar music. “Finger picking is like playing the piano on the guitar. It’s like a fully self-contained style. With your thumb on your right hand, you play pretty much what you would play with your left hand on the piano. And then with your fingers, you play what you would play with your right hand on the piano. You’re basically creating the bass and the rhythm with your thumb and the melody with your fingers.” At 11 years old, Emmanuel wrote a letter to Atkins in Nashville, telling him that he was a guitar player and a fan. He received a package back with a signed photo and a handwritten note that encouraged him to spend his every free moment studying the guitar.

He listened over and over to Atkins’ records. “It wasn’t just fingerstyle playing that I got from Chet. It was the fact that the guy interpreted melodies in such a great way. A quality that he gave all of us guitar players to aim for, a way of getting the melody across properly, playing it with a groove, and working on a turn.” When he was 17, a high school friend sent a tape of his music to Atkins, who once again responded with a letter. This time he invited the young musician to visit him in Nashville. He moved to Sydney when he received offers to work as a studio session player. Some of his most notable appearances at that time were on Air Supply’s hit singles, “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World” and “Now and Forever.” After several years as a popular sideman and ace songwriter, he launched his solo career in 1988 with the album, “Up From Down Under.”

After saving his money, he made that trip to Nashville, met up with Atkins and fulfilled the dream of jamming with the master craftsman for a couple of hours.4 continued on page 62

NOVEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Connecting like a father and son, the guitar elderstatesman and the “kid from Down Under” stayed in touch through long-distance telephone conversations and musical play over the phone. In 1993, Atkins agreed to play on Emmanuel’s album “The Journey,” and contributed again to “Midnight Drive.” They agreed it was time to do a complete album together and began making plans with Columbia Records. Shortly before beginning the creative process, Atkins was diagnosed with cancer, but the two musicians didn’t let the medical problems prevent them from completing “The Day the Fingerpickers Took Over the World,” which received a Grammy Award nomination in 1998. It was Atkins’ last recorded finger picking and he wrote in the liner notes that Emmanuel was “without a doubt, one of the greatest guitarists on the planet, and working with him on this project was one of my most exciting musical journeys.” A few months later, in Nashville, Emmanuel was honored by Atkins, receiving his Certified Guitar Player Award for his contribution to finger-style guitar, a crowning moment for him. Shortly after playing for his native Australia during the closing ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympic Games, Emmanuel was called to Atkins’ Nashville bedside, where his friend and mentor passed away. “He was always like a father to me,” Emmanuel says. “He was very encouraging, always honest and trying to help. But at the same time, he was always interested in anything that was new and when I wrote songs myself and would play them over the phone for him, the first thing he would do is try to learn it himself. “He was an example of a person who was in an eternal search for knowledge, and that was a great example for everybody.” In his concerts, Emmanuel’s guitar performance brings a sense of jazz improvisation into a mix of blues, country, rock, classical and Spanish music. His guitar finger picking style and fearless showmanship has carried him many times around the globe. He has toured and played with Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Michael Bolton, Olivia Newton-John, Bill Wyman, Jerry Reed, John Denver, Albert Lee, Leo Kottke, Joe Walsh and Roberta Flack, to name a few. • Tommy Emmanuel Wednesday, Dec. 7, Thursday, Dec. 8, Sierra Nevada Big Room, Chico www.sierranevada.com/brewery/california/big-room

I grew up in Redding, attended Cypress Elementary School, Sequoia Jr. High and graduated from Shasta High in 1965. After high school I joined the US Marine Corps and served two tours of duty in Vietnam. After those tours things were different. I had a tough time adapting and adjusting back to civilian life.

Mike Dahl Shasta College Knight, 1970-71 Student Body President, 1971 U.S.M.C. 1967-70 Awarded Combat Action Ribbon 1968 B.A. CSU, Chico Political Science M.A. CSU, Chico, Public Administration Partner, SECO Manufacturing (retired) City Council (Mayor ‘87 & ‘91) 1986-1994 President, Shasta Historical Society

Most of us that experience combat also experience PTSD and trying to reintegrate into civilian life can be tough. But, Marines were taught to “improvise, adapt and overcome.” Shasta College was part of that strategy and the beginning of a path to a successful career for me. While at Shasta College I helped form the Veteran’s Club, served as Student Body President and eventually went on to CSU, Chico to earn a BA and my masters degree.

After graduating I joined SECO in 1975 and became a partner in 1977. After 38 years of traveling the world with SECO I retired in 2013 and started my own consulting firm. I served two terms on the Redding City Council from 1986-1994 and was Mayor in 1987 and 1991. Currently I’m President of the Shasta Historical Society. If you’ve slogged through mud, eaten dust half way across the world or struggle with ghosts—I’ve been there. Shasta College might just be the strategy that will help you too. Semper Fi.

FO R T H E FO O D LOV E R : Kathy’s salsa and beef jerky from Kent’s Meats and Groceries (Redding): Tucked away in south Redding on Airport Road just north of Anderson, Kent and Kathy Pfrimmer offer old-fashioned customer service at their neighborhood market. One-of-a-kind selections not found in other grocery stores include Kathy’s Doggone Good Jerky, her mild homemade tomato-based salsa, and cuts of buffalo, deer, elk and organic cheeses. Bella Sun Luci sundried tomato risotto* from Mooney Farms (Chico): Starting out as a family-owned kiwi farming business in Chico, Mooney Farms sold its products along with sundried tomatoes in farmers markets all over Northern California. Shortly after its inception in 1987, Mooney Farms made its first big sale to Price Club in San Francisco. Their Bella Sun Luci sundried tomatoes and herbs steeped in olive oil product sold out within four hours. With its winning recipe, it opened a 100,000 square foot facility in Chico and continues to honor the family’s Mediterranean history by nourishing its 200-year-old olive trees growing amongst the lavender and rosemary.

Cheesecakes from Sweetspot (Redding): Located on Hilltop Drive, Sweetspot has every kind of indulgence you could ask for, from beer and wine to gelato and cupcakes. Its lemon, coffee, chocolate and other cheesecakes are served in cute little mason jars with such a lovely presentation that it’s hard to tell if they are edible or not. But you can eat them and they are delicious.

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. STEP 2: Cut about 1 inch off the top and bottom of the squash, discarding these ends. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the thick skin. With a sharp knife, cut squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fibers inside. Slice the squash into 1-inch slices and then cut these slices into 1-inch chunks. STEP 3: Place the cut chunks on a roasting pan or in a deep baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss.

STEP 4: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pieces begin to turn a golden brown around the edges, then turn and continue baking for another 15 minutes until tender. STEP 5: Transfer cooked squash to a serving bowl. Add the thyme, maple syrup, walnuts and cranberries. Toss to blend and serve.

Make Life Easier! 8 Caregiving Considerations

While spending time with your family keep in mind these simple signs that mom and dad may be needing help at home:

1. MEDICAL CONDITION – Has your loved one been diagnosed with a disease, illness or other medical condition that could impact their daily living? How is the medical condition likely to cause limitations to a person’s abilities now or in the future?

5. BEHAVIOR – Does your loved one seem anxious or irritable? Does being away from home make them uncomfortable? Do they seem depressed? Are they inconsistent in the things they say? Does your loved one remember names, places and current events?

2. DRIVING - If your loved one drives, is there reason to believe they pose an above average risk for being involved in an accident? How are their reflexes, vision and ability to respond in an unexpected situation? Are they likely to get lost and panic?

6. MEDICATION - Can your loved one manage their medications properly including dosage, frequency and changes to prescriptions? Do they understand why they are taking the medications? Are prescriptions getting refilled in a timely fashion?

3. FOOD/NUTRITION – Is your loved one eating balanced meals? Is their weight stable? Are they able to prepare meals? Are they able to manage grocery shopping? Do they have a reasonable variety of food in the refrigerator (with future expiration dates)? 4. HYGIENE - How does your loved one look and smell including their breath? Does it appear they are bathing regularly? How are their overall appearance, grooming and ability to match clothing compared to prior years? Do their bed linens and bath towels appear clean? Are they able to manage the laundry?

7. FINANCES – Does it appear that your loved one is capable of making sound financial decisions? Are they able to manage their personal finances? Are bills being paid in a timely fashion? Do they have a reasonable amount of cash on hand? 8. MAIL - Is the mail stacking up? Do you see any past due or delinquency notices? Does your loved one appear to be a target for solicitation offers?

Presidential Standings • Many view Anne Royall as the first professional woman journalist in the United States, and she tried dozens of times to interview our sixth president of the United States, John Quincy Adams. He simply wouldn’t be interviewed by a woman. Adams was rumored to have taken early-morning swims in the Potomac buck naked, so Royall hatched a plan. Not one to take no for an answer, Royall simply showed up one morning and sat down on the pile of Adams’ clothes until he granted the interview. • Only five presidents have had a beard. Abraham Lincoln’s was the most famous (and he grew it at the request of an 11-year-old supporter), but Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and Rutherford B. Hayes also sported beards. The last beard in the White House was Harrison in 1893, and the last presidential facial hair at all was William Howard Taft’s moustache from 1909-1913. • The Baby Ruth candy bar was NOT named after baseball’s Babe Ruth. It was actually named after President Grover Cleveland’s daughter Ruth, who died at only 12 years old of diphtheria. • The first telephone in the White House was personally installed for Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877 by Alexander Graham Bell. It hardly ever rang, because the only other telephone around was in the Treasury Department. The White House’s original official phone number was 1.

• James Madison was Princeton University’s first graduate student. • Millard Fillmore was “Hot for Teacher.” His first wife, Abigail Powers, was his teacher while he was a 19-year-old student in New York. • Andrew Johnson had been a tailor’s apprentice when young. As president of the United States, he made his own suits! • Ulysses S. Grant smoked at least 20 cigars a day. He died of throat cancer. • William McKinley’s good luck charm was the red carnation he always wore. At a public event in 1901, McKinley removed the carnation, gifting it to a young girl. Moments later, an assassin shot him in the abdomen. • The “S” in Harry S Truman doesn’t stand for anything. • President George H. W. Bush inspired a new word in Japanese culture. After vomiting on the Japanese prime minister in 1992, the Japanese adopted the slang term “Bushusuru,” meaning to publicly vomit.
