YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

May you always have... Walls for the winds A roof for the rain Tea beside the fire Laughter to cheer you Those you love near you And all your heart might desire. - Irish blessing

MICHELLE ADAMS publisher RONDA BALL-ALVEY editor in chief KERRI REGAN copy editor

CHLOE STEWART

We feel quite blessed for the opportunity to share another issue by Kara Stewart of Enjoy Magazine, and we encourage you to relax, grab your favorite beverage and learn a few new things about what makes Northern California Living so special. Sometimes we overlook the history lessons that are right in our own backyards. Take a tour of Bidwell Mansion to learn about some fascinating folks who helped shape the community of Chico. While you’re there, tune into KZFR, a community radio station powered by volunteers. Then meet Janessa Wilder, a former CIA analyst who has built something beautiful through The Euphrates Institute. She’s creating avenues of dialogue among diverse people, helping illuminate the common ground that we all share. Some of the area’s newest, tiniest residents will benefit from the gift of literacy, thanks to Nick and Abby Webb, who found themselves in the neonatal intensive care unit when their twin sons arrived three months early. Because studies show that premature babies benefit greatly by hearing lots of spoken language while in the NICU, the Webbs decided to gather books – lots and lots of books – to share with other parents of preemies. The North State is like a four-leaf clover for outdoors enthusiasts, and the Redding Sportsman’s Expo is poised to once again draw some 10,000 people to the Redding Civic Auditorium to explore the latest in hunting, fishing and more—check it out! Wishing you the luck of the Irish, today and always. Enjoy!

A VISITOR WALKS INTO into the Parrot Playhouse with a small cup of nectar and immediately eight lorikeets flock to him, perched all over the place trying to get to the nectar. “Lorikeets are the clowns of the parrot world; they make me laugh and they’re beautiful. They are so fun – I love to see the look on people’s faces when lorikeets land on them. They light up,” says Turtle Bay Exploration Park Head Curator and Animal Trainer Sharon Clay. An animal trainer for more than 28 years, Clay came to Turtle Bay in April 2007 when there was an opportunity to help revamp its animal program and add some educational value for guests. “When I came on board, they just had a handful of animals. They sent out a survey and got an overwhelming response that people wanted to see more of them,” Clay says. Originally earning her undergraduate degree from The State University of New York at Buffalo with an emphasis in ethology, Clay found herself at Turtle

Bay years later with the opportunity to build a new animal program from scratch. Before Clay arrived, Turtle Bay filled its aviary every summer with an exhibit of parakeets, which they contracted through an agency specializing in turnkey exhibits. However, Clay realized that hosting an aviary in-house would cost less money and could be open to guests year-round. Soon, the Parrot Playhouse was implemented in 2011. So why did she choose lorikeets as the featured bird? “They are unique and show diversity in the bird world,” says Clay. “When you see a squirrel, what do you say? ‘Look, there’s a squirrel.’ We don’t say, ‘Look, there’s a mammal.’ For some reason, we specify mammals, but people don’t do that with birds. They don’t see the individualism.”4 continued on page 12

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

She also adds that lorikeets aren’t like a parrot – they have special bottlebrush tongues that lick up nectar and are pollinators. There are 55 species of lorikeets in the world, and Turtle Bay has eight of them. Originating from the Australasian region, lorikeets (also called lories) were imported into the United States until a few years ago, when Australia banned exportation of native animals. Lorikeets, parakeets, parrots and other exotic birds are now either in captive breeding or smuggled in. “A lot of people don’t know that lorikeets are an island species; they live on all the little dotted islands around Indonesia and Australia. In isolated areas like that, the bird species are vulnerable and don’t handle change very well,” Clay says. In talking to guests about birds and their native habitats, it’s also an opportunity to point out the species that is only found in the North State – the yellow-billed magpie. “Birders from all over the world come to see (the yellow-billed magpie) and you can only find them here in the Sacramento Valley,” she says. Turtle Bay works with two certified lorikeet breeders from Florida and Texas, and with zoos that may not be able to house them anymore. Turtle Bay keeps around 30 lorikeets at any given time that live to be 15 years old or so. Clay emphasizes that Turtle Bay does not take in unwanted pets, and she often discourages people from buying parrots because of their wild nature, how much of a mess they make and the fact that they can live up to 100 years. “Most people have trouble with a dog or a cat, but you really have to know what you are getting into with a parrot and be willing to invest a great number of years into caring for it,” she says. However, if someone has done their research and still decides they want a parrot, Clay says to always go through a certified breeder or find a parrot rescue website. “Reputable breeders will send parrots out with a solid metal band, which shows they were captive-bred (rather than taken from the wild),” she says. “So if you are determined to have a bird, make sure it has a band around its ankle.” Visiting the animals at a place like Turtle Bay is probably one’s best bet, and Clay finds that birds usually like to cuddle more than other mammals (you can definitely see the smiles on their faces when they get head rubs). However, when asked who her favorite lorikeet is, Clay can’t name one. “I don’t play favorites, but I am partial to dusky lorikeets because they look like a chocolate candy corn,” she says. With their orange, brown and yellow striped bodies, Clay calls them the Halloween lorikeets. The mission of Turtle Bay is to inspire wonder, exploration and appreciation of all the world, and the animal program is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The Parrot Playhouse is available to guests every day from a half-hour after Turtle Bay opens until the time it closes, with a lunch break in between. • www.turtlebay.org

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:

Rhythm & writing FINDING FREEDOM WITH DA R B I E A N D R E WS DARBIE ANDREWS HAS DISCOVERED that once you let go of fear, new worlds open up. She started on the dance floor with Zumba and has moved to the page with writing. Now she’s at a point where both are flourishing. “I used to be afraid of someone telling me I had no business being here,” she says of her work as a Zumba instructor. “I had issues with dancing in front of others as I first started. I’m not a gym rat. I don’t have a toned body. But then I did it. It felt really freeing.” Once she discovered what that freedom felt like, she wanted her students at Salisbury High School, a continuation school in Red Bluff, to feel that, too. She decided to move from Zumba student to instructor. “Be free in your body – I try to teach that to them,” she says of her Salisbury students. “Zumba was for my job, for my kids. Zumba was also a way to recover from my divorce,” she adds. “I really didn’t like to exercise much until it came to Zumba,” says Andrews, noting the challenge of finding something enjoyable when you have concerns about feeling large. (Though, at size 14, Andrews is absolutely average.) The dance was so liberating and made her feel so good, however, that now she says, “I don’t care anymore. I’m not shy.” That sense of freedom and confidence opened opportunities she never thought imaginable, such as securing an opportunity to dance with her students at a Sacramento Kings game last year.4 continued on page 16

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

When she put the Zumba story to paper, she also found success in her writing career. Late last year, Andrews’ short story, “A Woman My Size,” found its way into publication in the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul book, “Curvy and Confident.” The story opens the chapter on the joy of exercise, and it chronicles her process of becoming a Zumba instructor and subsequent ability to maintain her joy despite a backhanded compliment from a man who said she moves well for a woman her size. “It’s emotional for me,” Andrews says of writing. “If it doesn’t have a certain emotion about it, it’s not correct.” It’s a craft she’s been honing since elementary school, when she began entering essay contests. In college at UC Santa Barbara, she says, “One of my professors asked me to write about a trip I took to Sacramento with Vietnam veterans to the Memorial. It was my first time being published.” Now, she says, “I want to write books.” Success keeps coming, with her first young adult novel about to published. “¡¿Him?!” is an “edgy, contemporary” story of a Mexican-American teen looking for her biological father while dealing with her mother’s poor choice of boyfriends. She hopes to find him before her quinceanera, a cultural celebration of a Mexican girl’s 15th birthday. It’s a coming-of-age story of resiliency and coping, qualities Andrews witnesses and guides every day in the classroom at Salisbury High School. The book will be released this year and is under contract with All Things That Matter Press. Andrews moved to the North State 10 years ago from Southern California, where she had begun her teaching career as a bilingual elementary teacher. Over her 24 years in

teaching, she has moved up the grade levels to middle school and then high school. She’s been at Salisbury for 10. Her oldest son had breathing problems, she says, and she wanted to find a place where he could breathe better and they could more readily experience “openness, nature, lack of traffic, lack of air pollution, an affordable home.” They landed in Cottonwood. “My son was on breathing treatments in Southern California, three a day,” she says. “Here, none.” Once up here, she adopted a second son through the foster care system. Their home is often filled with kids, from friends of the boys to current and former students needing a safe place to hang out and a compassionate ear to listen. The Writers Forum in Redding was the first group she joined when she settled in the area. “They teach a lot of basic information about what you need to do to become a published writer,” she says. She’s a former secretary of the organization. Vulnerability has been a theme in development as both a writer and a dancer for Andrews. With a huge public performance behind her as a dancer and her first book about to be published, she’s proof of the power of resiliency. “I’m excited to be on the more confident side of it,” she says. • www.darbiea.wordpress.com

damage CONTROL I N A N D O U T S M A R T R E PA I R IN REDDING IN THE BACK ROOM at In & Out Smart Repair, two techs see a man walking in the front door on their security monitor. Owner Trey Bollinger leaves a repair job and quick-steps out to meet his customer at the counter. There, the man shows him an iPhone that has been run over by a car. “I left it on my car roof,” explains Steve Cole with a sheepish grin. “A dog distracted me.” At first glance, the device looks way beyond repair, its display reduced to an abstract mosaic of dark shards. Bollinger takes it and Cole back to his workspace, where he and employee Nils Pickard can determine the extent of the damage. Both say, after hundreds of repairs between them, neither has been able to fix anything quite this damaged before. With practiced hands, Bollinger quickly removes the shattered screen and plugs in a spare display left over from an earlier repair. The screen lights up, showing rows of application icons. Bollinger touches one, and the iTunes Store opens. All three men hoot in amazement – and perhaps in respect for the durability of an iPhone 6. Cole says he brought his mashed iPhone to In & Out because they did so well repairing his laptop not long ago. As he leaves the store, he calls the two techs “miracle workers.” For a store in operation only a few months, In & Out Smart Repair boasts a workload that could be called miraculous. Consulting the computer on his front counter, Bollinger notes that in November, his first full month in business, he and Nils made more than 300 repairs on phones, laptops, tablets and desk computers. Today, he says they’ve got plenty of work, pointing to a line of incoming repairs arranged just outside the back room.4 continued on page 20

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“On our first Monday, we were open until midnight. That’s when I knew we had hit the jackpot.”

Bollinger credits In & Out’s seemingly instant success to his lifelong experience in business. His father was a successful Lousiana entrepreneur whose firm filled a niche demand by servicing cranes on offshore oil rigs. “Even though we grew up with a lot of nice things, we were told to work,” he says of himself and his two brothers. “When other kids were playing we were working. When we got to 15, 16 years old, we financed our own vehicles.” After working his way to a bachelor’s degree in business, Bollinger teamed with his brothers to turn their deer hunting hobby into enterprise. They began by stocking a herd on the acreage of their father’s ranch for their customers to sign in and hunt. “We found a niche market. The North American white-tailed deer is the most hunted animal on the planet,” he says. “We ended up having one of the largest herds in the state.” Bollinger’s marketing skills drew the attention of other local entrepreneurs. A friend of his who had launched In & Out Smart Repair in Lafayette, La., reached out to him to help grow the business. “He had five core stores in Louisiana and Mississippi, with 10 franchises. On a piece of loose-leaf paper, I planned 75 stores all over the nation. One year later, we had 75 franchises in 15 states.” About the time he turned 35, Bollinger decided he had done enough for himself and offered to share. “I’d lived a full life. But I felt my wife hadn’t had the same opportunity,” he says. “She’d been following my pursuits.” So he asked her what she wanted to do.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2017

Joy Bollinger asked if they could move to Redding to become involved in Bethel Church, which she’d discovered online. “She wanted to raise our kids in this environment,” her husband says. “We felt like we could come up to a higher standard of living there.” He traded all his interests in the franchises for one store of his own, which he opened in late October last year, right next door to AT&T on Hilltop Drive. My father always said, ‘Location, location, location,’” says Bollinger with a grin. “On our first Monday, we were open until midnight. That’s when I knew we had hit the jackpot.” Within two weeks, Bollinger hired Pickard, a trained tech from Germany, who had also come to Redding to join Bethel. “I repaired phones here for two years before we met,” says Pickard. The two techs pride themselves in a one-hour turnaround, unless they need to order a part. Waiting customers can shop nearby stores Trader Joe’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods or Kohl’s, or they can relax in the plush front waiting room while browsing used smart devices that come with a lifetime warranty. In & Out Smart Repair has posted business hours, but, as Bollinger says, “If the lights are on, come on in.” • 835 Browning St., Redding • (530) 691-4353 Closed Sundays • www.inandoutsmartrepair.com

16,000 PEOPLE TOURED IN 2016

B I DW E L L M A N S I O N S TAT E H I S TO R I C PA R K TEACHER. MINER. Merchant. Brigadier general. Agriculture innovator. California senator. United States representative. John Bidwell had many roles. His wife Annie was her own force, dedicated to service and social progress. The curiosity and convictions of the Bidwells drove change that would shape a piece of Northern California into the community of Chico and influence the region. Bidwell Mansion is their time capsule. The home, which they moved into following their spring 1868 wedding, is a grand place – three stories, 12,000 square feet, 26 rooms and a watchtower in downtown Chico. “It is a huge part of the identity for the community – the landmark that basically shows the beginning of Chico,” says Raeann Bossarte, lead interpreter at Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park. The mansion was the first home in California north of Sacramento with indoor water and flush toilets. The gas lighting was unusual for the time, too. The Bidwells, who didn’t have children, used the many rooms for guests. Visitors included President Rutherford Hayes, suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony, Civil War General William Sherman and naturalist John Muir. Tradition of the time was for men and women to retreat to separate areas following supper, but the Bidwells kept guests together for discussions. Their home became a political and social hub.

John Bidwell died in 1900. Annie, 20 years younger, remained in the house until her death in 1918. She willed the mansion to the Presbyterian Church to be a school. The church sold it to Chico State Normal School, a teachers’ college for which the Bidwells had donated land in 1887 that eventually became Chico State University. For years, the mansion was merely an old building, used as a dormitory and for classrooms and offices. The state acquired it in 1964. “It was in fairly decent shape,” Bossarte says. But there was work to be done, including roof replacement and other restoration. Painted all white, it was returned to its original color of muted pink with taupe trim. “It’s the historic color. There was chemical analysis on the paint to bring it back to the original color scheme,” Bossarte notes. Upkeep – dealing with bee infestations, water leaks, fixture replacement – is ongoing. Bidwell Mansion State Park includes a visitors center, carriage house, rose garden and heritage trees. Guided house tours are three days a week. Some 16,000 people went through last year and about 1,200 students participated in school programs, Bossarte says.4 continued on page 24

Furnishings are a mix of Bidwell belongings and period pieces. A rosewood piano, taxidermy birds (stuffed by the Bidwells’ gardener), paintings, Native American basketry, Chinese tapestry and books are among the original items. A life-size portrait of John Bidwell painted by Alice Reading, daughter of Redding pioneer Pearson B. Reading, is a tour highlight, Bossarte says. His eyes seem to follow as you move. Kitchen bells, each with a distinct tone to alert staff, are a curiosity, as are the elephant-trunk-design toilets. Bossarte’s favorite room is the library filled with books, many on agriculture and politics. “I love that room. It really shows who they were – their interests and their intellect.” The tours are a journey back in time. “There is so much information. We can only touch on a little bit,” Bossarte says. She hopes tour participants are inspired to learn more about the Bidwells and the impact they had on the region. John Bidwell was 22 when he came west by wagon train in 1841. He worked for John Sutter and helped confirm the authenticity of the 1848 California gold discovery. Bidwell found gold on Feather River, and had success as a miner and merchant selling goods to miners. He purchased the 22,000-acre Rancho del Arroyo Chico to raise livestock and grow wheat, alfalfa, fruits and vegetables. Bidwell experimented with crops and brought new varieties to the region, getting credit for Casaba melon and blame for Bermuda grass. He was first in the state to commercially grow olives for olive oil and grapes for raisins. He recognized the risks that hydraulic mining posed to farming and the importance of crop diversity. “I think he was such an intelligent, curious man, and willing to take risks,” Bossarte says.

She describes Annie Bidwell as a strong woman with deep convictions. “She was quite her own woman way before she met John. She volunteered at Civil War hospitals and had a drive all of her own toward good causes.” Annie Bidwell was active in the suffrage and temperance movements and a proponent of libraries. She deeded some 2,200 acres of land along Chico Creek to the city for a park. Bidwell Park, with additional acreage added later, became one of the largest city-owned parks in the country. • Guided tours of Bidwell Mansion: Hourly from 11 am to 4 pm Saturday, Sunday and Monday, beginning in the visitors center, 525 Esplanade, Chico Adults, $6; youth ages 5-17, $3; children 4 and younger, free www.bidwellmansionpark.com (530) 895-6144

HELPING CHILDREN and their families is what the Make-A-Wish Foundation is all about. Every year, right around this time, dozens of volunteers, plus the staff of Results Radio’s five Redding radio stations, flood the Mt. Shasta Mall for two days to raise funds for local children battling life-threatening illnesses. After over a decade of the Results Radiothon being broadcast live, the event has raised more than $1 million and granted hundreds of wishes through the local Make-A-Wish chapter. There have been wishes for trips to the Grammy Awards, Hawaii or Disneyworld. Children have asked for the opportunity to swim with dolphins, meet a favorite celebrity or professional athlete, and even to meet Barbie. If a child can dream it, they can wish for it, and a team of wish granters most often makes it happen. The Make-A-Wish foundation started in 1980 as a local effort for a 7-year-old Arizona boy battling leukemia. Chris Greicius wanted to be a police officer for a day. Chris passed away days after receiving his badge, and a new movement was born. In less than three years, the national Make-A-Wish Foundation incorporated and quickly spread across the United States as local chapters opened. As part of the on-air staff at Results Radio’s Q97, I’ve had a front-row seat for this event and been able to see the hope and joy these wishes bring to a Wish Kid and his or her family. A wish being granted does not mean the recipient’s illness is terminal; it simply means that they and family members have been facing a life-threatening illness. Sadly, some local Wish Kids have passed away, but many others have returned over the years to give back as volunteers themselves. Wishes are about hope, being a kid, having fun and getting a break for family time away from a crush of doctors, hospitals and procedures. The 2017 Results Radiothon is March 16-17 from 6 am to 6 pm, and includes a large silent auction. To donate during the Radiothon, you may bid on auction items in person or call toll free, 1-844-371-9474 (WISH). Share in the power of a wish! • Patrick John has been working the radio airwaves in Redding for 22 years as co-host of Billy & Patrick Mornings.

MA DER MA DER SAP HOUSE AND GRILL WORKING AT A RESTAURANT is hot, hectic, time-consuming, unrelenting and hard. And it’s exactly where Alain Phouansavanh wants to be. “You have to be committed 100 percent or this business is not for you,” Phouansavanh says on a recent morning as he readies the Ma Der Ma Der Sap House & Grill for another day’s steady stream of customers. “But this is what I love. This is what I grew up doing.” With support and encouragement from his older brother, Alex, Phouansavanh opened his restaurant in late September, moving into the former home of Wilda’s Grill on Placer Street in downtown Redding. Boasting a fusion of Lao, Thai, Mexican and American cuisine, Ma Der Ma Der stands out, even in Redding’s restaurant-rich environment. In the Laotian language, Ma Der Ma Der translates roughly to “come on, come on” and Sap is a Lao adjective that refers to delicious or flavorful food, or “the bomb,” Phouansavanh says with a smile. The restaurant is the continuation of a food service mission the two brothers started with the Yellow Lunch Box, a popular food truck

that’s now being operated by a cousin. The food truck, in turn, was another installment in what has been Phouansavanh’s lifelong interest in cooking. “I’ve always cooked,” he says. “I always cooked at parties and I like to be the barbecue guy.” Phouansavanh, 28, traces his appreciation of cooking to his childhood when—again at brother Alex’s encouragement—he would prepare dinners at home. Helping in the kitchen was a way to support his parents, Ban and Tam, who were hard at work at Doughboy Donuts, the Lake Boulevard shop they’ve operated for years. Phouansavanh’s parents, who were born in Laos, immigrated to the United States and went to work at a bakery in Susanville before acquiring a former Winchell’s Donuts shop in Redding. Phouansavanh’s mother attended Shasta College to learn English. As the mother of four boys, he says she appreciated the help in the kitchen. Alex and Alain also would give up their weekends to give their parents a hand at the shop. Phouansavanh says that experience taught him the value of hard work and provided him with real-life lessons on what it takes to make a business successful. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes—paying bills, managing inventory, shopping—and a lot going on behind the counter and in the kitchen. In a small but popular spot like Ma Der Ma Der, Phouansavanh says it’s a balancing act to offer consistent quality while getting customers in and out as quickly as possible.4 continued on page 30

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Alex, a firefighter stationed on the Modoc National Forest, helps at the restaurant when his schedule allows. He says the idea to open a restaurant was an obvious one. “We love to cook and everybody enjoyed our cooking so we did this. We wanted to share what we like with the community.” Two nephews, Brandon Souriyaseng and Johnny Saefong, make up the rest of Ma Der Ma Der’s full-time crew. “I’m definitely proud of these guys,” Alex says. “We couldn’t do it without them.” The menu, which Phouansavanh created with help from Alex, is a tribute to his childhood, his Lao heritage and his lifelong appreciation of robust flavors. Leading the way is the Sapritto, a thoroughly original—“you won’t find a Sapritto anywhere else in the country,” Phouansavanh boasts—take on a burrito that features a tortilla stuffed with mushrooms, bell pepper, onions, house-ground Lao sausage, beef, fried eggs, sticky rice and a choice of four sauces. He learned to make Pad Thai, a traditional stir-fried noodle dish, from his mother. From there, the menu explodes with flavorful options, including tacos made of Lao sausage or blackened shrimp, chicken wings, freshly cut French fries, a “Redding Ribeye Cheese Steak Sub,” egg rolls and beef sticks. A key to many of the dishes are the four house-made sauces, which Phouansavanh created a AND EVERYBODY year ago when he was asked to ENJOYED OUR COOKING come up with chicken wing SO WE DID THIS. ideas to pair with selected WE WANTED Wildcard Brewing ales.

bunch, followed by the sweet and spicy honey Sriracha. The roasted Thai chili offers a slow but serious burn and the roasted habanero sauce promises to satisfy the most ardent of heat lovers. Chris Haedrich, a commercial realtor, has been a Ma Der Ma Der fan since his first visit. “I was instantly impressed,” he says. While not claiming to be an expert on Southeast Asian cuisine, Haedrich says he has visited Laos and Thailand “and when I ate a Sapritto I was transported back there. It’s a great mix of flavors and spices.” Marc Dadigan, a community educator and freelance journalist, says the restaurant is an excellent way to show out-of-town guests that Redding has some surprises up its culinary sleeve. “The blend of Lao and Mexican flavors is outstanding, and the sauces—I usually go for the honey Sriracha—are rich and flavorful. Every time I go there, I plan to eat until I’m full as a tick.” Dadigan soon will have more ways to impress his foodie friends. Phouansavanh says Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup that was popular on the Yellow Lunch Box, will be added to the menu this month along with a Lao-style gumbo of potatoes, eggs, pork belly, celery and carrots. • Ma Der Ma Der Sap House & Grill 1718 Placer St., Redding • (530) 691-4194 Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 am to 7 pm; Saturday, 10 am to 3 pm; closed Sunday

THE ART BEHIND JEN’S JEWELS RIGHT OFF OF HIGHWAY 273 in Redding lies a unique jewelry/art retail shop with a workshop in the back. As you walk in the door of Jen’s Jewels, an intricate sculpture of a metal tree trunk in the shape of hands adorned with vibrant orange and red gems catches your eye. Called “Gift of Her Hands-Fall,” Jen’s Jewels owner Jenifer Lynn made it while taking bronze casting and sculpting classes in college. “It was a team effort — you need a $100,000 facility to make something like that,” says Lynn. “In bronze casting something like this, you are using a crane to pour metals at 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit while wearing a spacesuit-type thing. It’s kind of unnerving,” she says. The finished piece is includes wire-wrapped carnelian, citrine, agate and coral gemstones as the leaves. Lynn graduated from Shasta High School and moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. When that didn’t work out, Lynn started taking art classes at Shasta College and eventually received a bachelor's degree in arts and 3D design and metal from California State University, Long Beach.

Ten years later, Lynn sculpts and bejewels bracelets, earrings, necklaces and paintings that decorate her shop. She shows off a crazy dipping spoon made of hammered forged metal which she calls the “sniffer.” “I had to make a ladle in art class but I didn’t want to, so I created this Monty Python torture device,” she says. “I learned the most from community college — we raised metal into bowls; we had to do it to get a degree.” As part of her Earth, Water, Fire, Air series, Lynn created wearable artwork in an attempt to show how elements react with the skin (one of these pieces was a 19-stone necklace that just sold). While taking art classes, Lynn realized she wanted to make jewelry. But that wasn’t entirely supported by her professors. “They told me I needed a purpose behind my art,” Lynn says. She couldn’t stop making jewelry, though. When the students put on an art sale at the end of the semester, Lynn brought and sold all of her jewelry in record time. “I sold more than all of the students combined in the art department,” she says of the 90 rings, 40 necklaces, and a handful of earrings that she had available.4 continued on page 34

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

After seeing her success at the student art sale, her professors wanted Lynn to pursue teaching and work on getting an master's degree, but by then, Lynn was focused on starting a business. She made jewelry for Sundance Catalog and was able to apprentice under a woman who taught her all about gemstones. Along with being an artist in Southern California, Lynn worked as a server, hosted karaoke, bartended and DJd, but when she started selling jewelry at the San Pedro Market, she dropped everything else to be able to focus solely on her art. “If you have a mind that is constantly creating, when all of a sudden you can’t do that, it can feel suffocating,” she said.

In January 2015, Lynn and her husband decided to move back to her hometown and establish stronger roots. She started hosting jewelry parties as a way to network, which were well-received. A retail space opened up on Buenaventura Boulevard in Redding and Lynn decided to establish a storefront. She and her dad did a bit of remodeling, opening Jen’s Jewels in January 2016. Even though Lynn’s first focus was launching her business, she always had it in the back of her mind to teach. “First I had to learn how to be efficient, which isn’t taught in school,” Lynn says. “I went through all of these extra steps that I didn’t need to take.” In late February, Lynn started hosting classes which circulated via word-ofmouth. She started out with about 50 students, but only about a quarter of them pursued it. “Making jewelry is a lot more difficult than you think,” says Lynn. Her 1A jewelry-making class teaches people how to make stacker rings, form metal, texture, solder and bezel set stones with finishing. Her next class teaches students how to make a mixed-metal pendant. “In the 1B class, students create a one-inch disc design and learn how to saw, file, sweat soldering and finishing,” she adds. After students have completed the 1A and 1B classes, they can go through one more class to make a gemstone pendant or ring with their own design. “I get inspired by my stones and then I do my work around them. Gemstones are natural, it’s so cool that they can be pulled from the earth,” she says. Lynn makes new pieces every week. “Something may sit on a shelf for years, but there’s one person out there who it’s perfect for,” she adds. “The hardest part is getting new clients, but I’m particular about who I sell to. Every piece is unique, so letting it go is like giving away a piece of myself.” However, Lynn feels lucky to be able to launch her business in her hometown. “Everyone is really supportive; I’m proud and surprised that the doors are still open without a lick of advertising. Networking has really helped,” she says. “Redding is big but there’s still this small-town attitude of people who want to shop local. I love finding those clients who appreciate gems as much as I do.”• Jen’s Jewels • 1872 Buenaventura Blvd #3, Redding www.jens-jewels.com • (310) 903-7917 Tuesday through Friday Noon to 6 pm; Saturdays by appointment One year anniversary event/new beginning party Saturday March 3, 5 to 8 pm

UNITY M M O C KZFR

A TURN OF THE DIAL to Chico’s KZFR radio may bring a blast of ‘80s music, raucous honky tonk, smooth jazz or rootsy reggae, all depending on the time of day. Tune in on a Tuesday night at 7:30 and you will hear East L.A Cholo, soul, R&B, oldies, blues, doo-wop, Latin, folk and Gospel, all in one 2½-hour span of host Señor Felipe’s show, LA Sounds. “It’s very different on purpose and we try to be as diverse as possible in terms of our programming,” says Rick Anderson, general manager of the 26-year-old community radio station. The station went live on July 6, 1990 after a nine-year development period. Anderson, who also co-hosts a Grateful Dead music program on the station, has been with KZFR for eight of his 35 years in radio. “I started in radio when Led Zeppelin was putting out records,” he laughs. He cut his radio teeth in his hometown of Washington, DC and has worked in such large communities as Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco. “At some point, I realized that the commercial radio business plan didn’t really work for me,” he says, noting that the KZFR model works not only for him, but the community that created

RADIO

it. “Essentially it doesn’t have an owner. It’s the community that owns it. Money that’s raised essentially doesn’t leave Chico. “We’re live just about all the time,” he continues. “In terms of community, our volunteers are our neighbors. Your neighbor could be on the radio at KZFR.” About 120 volunteers help run the station, including those who serve as programmers. “That’s part of our mission, too, to train people to be on the radio,” says Anderson. The station offers trainings throughout the year, and programmers must pass a written test before they can go on air. Those who get a time slot tend to stay, he notes, saying, “Many people here have been here for 10-plus years. We have a lot of people who are trained and waiting for shows.” Community members submit program ideas and receive training in radio broadcasting before going on the air when a time slot opens up. This openness has brought not only diverse musical programming, but important community news sharing, such as the weekend broadcasts of news and music in Hmong.4 continued on page 38

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Among the longer-term programmers is Diane Suzuki-Brobeck, who hosts “One World Music” every other Wednesday from 12:30 to 3 pm. She got started at the station about 15 years ago helping her husband, water advocate Jim Brobeck, host an interview-format show called “Dialogs.” There she learned to run the sound board and other aspects of program production. She was eventually asked to host a world music program. In addition to playing music from places as wide ranging as Cameroon, Brazil, Madagascar and just about any place one could pin a country on a world map, she also brings in guests for brief interviews. “What I focus on is trying to connect the local community with local people who do things around the globe,” she says. She’s had Chico attorney Ron Reed in a few times to discuss his allwomen well drilling project in Tanzania. Suzuki-Brobeck is a massage therapist by trade and also coordinates a violence prevention program called Beyond Violence Alliance. She’s a hula dancer and ukulele player who says, “Community radio is so similar to my concept of Oneness. Our station has such a variety and diversity of programming.” Of course, community ownership means community sponsorship. There are significant costs involved with maintaining a 6300-watt transmitter on Nimshew Ridge, three paid staff and an online presence that allows listeners to live-stream. There’s also an affiliation with the Pacifica Network that brings Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now!” program to the station. To meet these expenses, the station hosts two on-air pledge drives a year and multiple fundraisers, including concerts at the Chico Women’s Club. Once a year, area massage therapists host Touch of Chico in Cedar Grove of Bidwell Park, providing massage to donors on a per-minute basis. Every once in awhile, musician Jonathan Richman, now a Chico resident, just pops in with a check, surprising everyone with his brief appearance. “That’s the way he handles it,” says Anderson. “He’ll just walk in, hand us a check, and run out the door.” Such occurrences may be brief but they’re always meaningful, and are just one example of how the community keeps KZFR on the air and its commitment to issues of local relevance. “We figured out a long time ago that we are lucky,” says Anderson. • KZFR 90.1 FM www.kzfr.org

DURING THE THIRD TRIMESTER of pregnancy, most babies are soothed by the “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh” of Mom’s heartbeat and the muffled sounds of conversation in the world that awaits them. But when babies skip that third trimester and make their debut early, those in utero sounds are replaced by the beeps and alarms of machines that keep fragile babies alive. And as is the case with most families whose babies wind up in the neonatal intensive care unit, it’s certainly not the way that Redding’s Abby and Nick Webb anticipated that their twin sons would begin their lives.4 continued on page 42

Alarmed by what she suspected was (very) early labor, Abby went straight from her December baby shower to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, and 26 hours later, the boys were born - three full months before their March 11 due date, at just 27 weeks gestation. “We had no hospital bag, no birth plan,” Abby says. “We thought we had a couple more months.” Julian Reid weighed in at 2 lbs., 5.5 oz., and Elliot Cadel was 2 lbs., 4 oz. As the Webbs hunkered down for a lengthy stay in the NICU, news of the boys’ early arrival prompted their friend, former First 5 Shasta Executive Director Joy Garcia, to share some advice. Garcia had recently attended a training that explained how premature babies who had heard more spoken language in the NICU did better on cognitive and developmental assessments later in childhood. “The sounds they hear in the NICU are artificial and different - it’s not what they’d be hearing if they were still inside their mothers,” explains Abby, a special education teacher. But chit-chatting with babies who are covered in wires and tubes, surrounded by ominous machinery and medical personnel, can feel awkward and uncomfortable. “For me, it was intimidating,” says Nick, the residence life director at Shasta College. “But if you have a book, you read a script. It tells you what to say. And it might get you in the habit of reading to them every day.” As it turns out, the Webbs have a knack for making big things happen – they’re the kind of folks who can convince novice bicyclists to ride 100 miles for a worthy cause. So once they realized the benefit of reading to NICU babies, they decided to figure out a way to make this easier for other families, too.

Nick tapped into a benefit offered by Thrivent Financial, a not-for-profit financial services organization that allows members to apply for small grants to benefit philanthropic projects. The Webbs requested funding to purchase books and a bookshelf for NICU families, and then shared their idea with friends and family, creating a wish list of 25 board books on Amazon. Every book was bought within hours. So they added more, and people bought more. “People we don’t even know are donating books,” Abby says. The logistics of where the books will live and how they’ll be distributed are still being worked out, as the NICU needs to be vigilant about protecting their tiny patients from germs. However, Julian, Elliot and their NICU roommates have already benefited from this gift of literacy. “The nurses must have heard us read ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ to them 15 or 20 times,” Nick says. Julian and Elliot’s eyes have opened, they love to hold hands, they’re packing on the ounces, and they are working hard to spring themselves from the NICU by mastering the skills of breathing and eating without medical assistance. Meanwhile, the new parents are moved by the books that continue to arrive on their doorstep and humbled by the generosity of others. “These are the kinds of things I want my kids to learn - how to give back to your community and help other people,” Abby says. •

I LY

gathers A FRESH NEW JOURNEY FOR FROM THE HEARTH FROM THE HEARTH is thriving. With four cafés, a drivethrough and a bakery, it is hard to imagine the crooked, yet serendipitous road the company has traveled to success. After Spencer Tang bought the From the Hearth bakery in 2008 from Phil Simi, he sold sourdough bread through the farmers market and had a couple of restaurant accounts, but with no baking experience, he found running the business a tough go. Enter John Dix, who met Tang when he was daydreaming about opening a deli. “A lot of people wanted a Panera Bread company to come to town,” says Dix, “so I steered Spencer toward creating our own café concept, similar to Panera, where we would make everything in-house from scratch.” The problem: neither business partner had the money to fund a start-up, so Tang turned to a movie executive friend in Los Angeles as an investor. An accountant, Dix had no history in construction or restaurants, and admits he was shocked when they secured the funding.

“I had a vision but no practical experience,” he says. “Spencer was preoccupied with the bakery 60 hours a week and I really did not think we would get the money, so when we did, I was scared out of my mind.” He did the only thing he could do: go to the Redding Library and check out a book on how to start a restaurant for dummies, a couple of cookbooks, and a construction book. His decision to have lunch at a local restaurant proved fortuitous. While sitting at the bar, an older gentleman (who, unbeknownst to Dix, was a restaurant designer) struck up a conversation with the inexperienced entrepreneur. When the two parted company, the older gentleman took Dix’s phone number, calling him a few days later and offering to build the restaurant for $5,000. (Enter Ted.) “I had not really had lucrative careers,” says Dix, “and it sounded like a lot of money to me, so I said I would offer him $4,000. He came back and said, ‘Look, kid, we both4 continued on page 48

“I GAINED 80 POUNDS. I WAS UNBELIEVABLY STRESSED,” HE SAYS. “THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS I WOULD GO TO THE BANK MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AT PAYROLL TO DEPOSIT THE TAKE FROM BREAKFAST AND LUNCH. WE NEVER BOUNCED A CHECK BUT I REMEMBER THE TIME WE HAD A 17-CENT BALANCE.”

know you don’t know what you’re doing. No one in his or her right mind would do it for less than $30,000. You’re going to accept my offer for $5,000.” Over the next six months, the two worked together almost daily and Dix says, “Ted taught me the entire industry. I am really humbled.” Six weeks before opening, Dix realized he had another problem: no menu, operating procedures or protocols. He had Googled “international sandwiches” to create unique names for the business plan menu but had never had any of those sandwiches, let alone knew how to make them. He hired his first kitchen manager, Jean, after she showed up to her interview with two pots of soup. She designed the menu around the sandwich name list Dix provided and went on to become the restaurant’s first general manager. “Except for Ted, she is probably the most significant person in the formation of the company,” he says. There was a symbolic hair in the soup, however. Dix had spent two years gaining Irish citizenship in preparation for a move overseas once the restaurant opened. He and his wife had sold everything and moved in with the Tang family temporarily. Then the unexpected happened. Dix was so moved by the relationships he had developed with Tang, Ted and Jean that he no longer wanted to leave. (Vice President Jonah Mills joined as a third partner in 2013.) The first café opened in 2010 and Dix says the first three or four years were extremely difficult, working 60 hours a week for less than minimum wage. “I gained 80 pounds. I was unbelievably stressed,” he says. “The first couple years I would go to the bank multiple times a day at payroll to deposit the take from breakfast and lunch. We never bounced a check, but I remember the time we had a 17-cent balance.” In spite of the financial headwinds, the partners opened two more cafés and a drive-through before they began really turning a profit in 2015. Dix tells a story of expansion almost as magical as that leading to the first café opening. “I didn’t know for the longest time what Ted’s angle was,” says Dix, who later discovered Ted had lost a young son before walking away from his family and construction business decades earlier. “When I met him, he was in Redding trying to make things right with his daughters. He practiced talking to me in order to talk to them.” Within a few months of the first opening, Dix learned Ted was dying of cancer and says, “The year before, he had been given six months to live, but he lived five years and ended up reuniting with his family.” Not surprisingly, the employees (who Dix refers to as “our people”) are From the Hearth’s greatest assets. “We have been so fortunate. We have a loyal, dependable staff,” says Dix. “They care about the food, the company, and most importantly our customers.” • www.fthcafe.com • Hours: 7 am – 8 pm daily

Blue Jean Baby D E N I M B L U E . . . H E R E , T H E R E A N D E V E RY W H E R E IMAGINE SLIPPING ON your favorite pair of blue jeans, their soft indigo granting you instant relief from the stresses of the world, giving you confidence and comfort as they hug you in all the right places. Sure, denim has found its niche in the form of jeans, denim jackets and button-front blouses in all shades of blue. But thinking that denim only belongs hanging in your closet is more than a gross oversight – in this day and age, when denim shines in the dark, it would be a creative travesty. We’ll show you some hip new ways to infuse the blue stuff into your wardrobe, and offer up a few more fabulously unexpected uses for the style concept that has charmed its way into our hearts for nearly 150 years.

DENIM IN YOUR CLOSET One is left to wonder if, in 1871, when Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss partnered to create the first ever “blue jeans” from the fabric that had been invented centuries before in Genoa, Italy, they had any inkling of the kind of impact their creation would have on the world. Widely acknowledged as the most popular apparel on the planet, the classic blue jean is getting some exciting upgrades for 2017. Embellish it: Lace, patchwork and appliqués all have their place on your denim this season. Whimsical and youthful, these sweet additions allow you to tell the world a bit about you without saying a word. Are you feeling ultra-feminine, edgy or fun today? Don’t answer that. Let your embellishments do the talking. Prefer a more subtle infusion of personality? Add bold stitching to your denim in a high-contrast color to create a one-of-a-kind pair of baby blues. Runways and street style have both been set ablaze with the concept of rocking jeans with epic holes in the knees. But the “it factor” of this ultra-distressed style goes sky high when the holey blues are paired with black fishnets and black closed-toe pumps.

RUNWAYS AND STREET STYLE HAVE BOTH BEEN SET ABLAZE WITH THE CONCEPT OF ROCKING JEANS WITH EPIC HOLES IN THE KNEES.

Try a new shape: Yes, yes. We, too, love the ever-popular skinny jean and the loose-fitting boyfriend style pair of blues, with the so-imperfect-they’reperfect cuffs at the bottom.But don’t get so stuck on one style that you neglect all of the other fun options out there. From flared to frayed to asymmetrical, the bottom of your pant legs can speak volumes for your sense of personal style. Find a look that feels fresh and just go with it. Wear it on your feet: Denim isn’t just for jeans and jackets anymore. If you want to walk your way into stardom in 2017, find yourself a good pair of denim boots. Or heels. Or wedges. OK, just about any pair of denim shoes will have you turning heads.4 continued on page 52

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

NOTHING MAKES A HOME FEEL LOVED LIKE BRINGING A BIT OF THE OUTSIDE IN... THERE’S SOMETHING EVER-NEW ABOUT THE BLUE. It makes for exciting jewelry: The coolest thing about denim is the way its fibers just seem to move according to our whim. A swatch of denim turned into a cuff bracelet is more than just a stylish way to infuse a bit of blue love into your ensemble – it may be a conversation starter. Try on a frayed denim necklace to add a texturally fascinating edge to a basic T-shirt or dress. And who says earrings can’t come in the form of fabric? We love the idea of adorning ourselves from the ears down in denim. And since bold, statement jewelry is back with a vengeance this season, the time has never been better to go big. DENIM IN YOUR HOME Comfort. It’s the love language of our favorite pair of blue jeans. But why shouldn’t it take center stage at home, too? Consider incorporating some denim elements into your décor to create a look that is simultaneously relaxed, yet oh-so-of-the-moment. It pairs perfectly with wooden elements and palettes that include grey or white, but don’t overlook the power of denim to work with a full range of color. Just like your favorite blue jeans, denim elements in your home will go with virtually anything. Upholster it: Remove any and all thoughts that denim furniture is only for college dorm rooms. Seriously. Just scratch that. Denim shows up and shows out when it makes an appearance on a wingbacked chair, a tufted ottoman or in a beautiful patchwork on a series of throw pillows. Find a piece of furniture with some bones that you love, wrangle up some denim fabric – or repurpose some old jeans – and make your home as comfortable and stylish as your favorite pair of dungarees. Feeling bold? Consider drapery in denim. Put it on the walls: Not only can you use your favorite pair of blue jeans as the inspiration to paint a wall (or several) in your abode, but you

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2017

can, quite literally, use denim elements as framed art. This is an opportunity to get creative and to make use of those jeans that never quite did it for you, the ones you still just can’t bear to toss out. Cut the denim into shapes, layer it in with some other denim or a contrasting fabric and create a denim lover’s masterpiece. Accessorize with it: With denim at play in just about every facet of fashionable life, it shouldn’t be hard to score a few beautiful blue decor pieces in the funloving blue hue. Consider lampshades, denim chandeliers, decorative orbs and china with blue and white patterns to mix and mingle with your denim elements. Infuse the hue naturally: Nothing makes a home feel loved like bringing a bit of the outside in. Snip some blue hydrangea from the garden, put a dried lavender bouquet in a vase, or place a planter box full of succulents with kisses of blue in a prominent place in the room. There’s something ever-new about the blue. • Kimberly N. Bonéy, proud wife and mom, is a freelance writer, designer, up-cycler and owner of Herstory Vintage.

Rising up

F U T U R E W E E D CO M MU N I T Y C E N T E R ASHES ARE REMINDERS of both death and rebirth. In the hill above the city of Weed, a dream of 20 years took shape. In spring 2014, the Weed Recreation and Park District opened its new Community Center. Grants from the Ford Family Foundation and the McConnell Foundation purchased a building, ordered tables and chairs and installed a commercial grade kitchen. Then-Mayor Bob Hall pronounced it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a gift to the community.â&#x20AC;? Six months later came the Boles Fire and those two decades of planning were left in rubble in the wake of the disaster. The cities of south Siskiyou County are unique. Each community has its own special needs from a recreation district. Along with their challenges, Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta and Weed are small towns with limited resources, and they maintain their identities while working together. The three districts combine their leadership under Mike Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a man with a huge smile and heart. He first became the program director for the Mount Shasta District in 1973. Today, he works as the administrative director of the three south county recreational districts.4 continued on page 56

MARCH 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

With the help of Weed’s five-member board, Rodriguez tackled the challenge of the loss of the Weed Community Center. With the community rebuilding, the services of the recreational program and its sports camps, swim lessons and remaining parks and facilities could offer hope and rest in the tensions following the fire. Four key elements remained untouched by the fire. The seven-acre Bel Air Park by College of the Siskiyous, with its ball fields and outdoor swimming pool, could still host the annual Weed Carnivale in the summer. Youth sports would excel at the Sons Park and Lobis Field. The fire had reached the edge, but had not damaged the sports complex or its original grandstand. Carrick Park’s three-acre picnic area, basketball courts and playground were just beyond the fire’s reach. The fourth property, Charlie Byrd Park, with its playgrounds, picnic areas and new 9,000-square-foot Weed Skate Park, was within inches of the fire, but survived. From the ashes around this park, the dream which was burnt to the ground would rise again. “We secured something unexpected,” Rodriguez says. “Three, six-acre parcels became part of the district, directly adjacent to our property,

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2017

extending into Angel Valley where the fire had done significant damage.” What the new property offers is a place to rebuild. On top of the ashes, a 20-year old dream, thought gone, will rise up. Construction begins this summer on a 14,000-squarefoot building that will include a commercial kitchen and a main room seating 160 guests for weddings, receptions and community events. There will be an indoor pool for physical therapy, pool programs, a vendor staffing and programming a dance studio, a physical therapist, and a computer tech program run in partnership with the high school. “There will even be a place there for the recreational districts’ main office,” Rodriguez says. So a phoenix can rise from the ashes of despair. “This is such a positive facility for the residents here to utilize,” Rodriguez says. “I’m looking forward to rebuilding. It is something to enjoy and the result of what people in our community can accomplish.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica.

That day forever changed the course of American foreign policy, but for Redding native Janessa Gans Wilder, “it changed my life forever.” In January 2001, Wilder was hired as an analyst for the CIA, nine months before the towers came down. “I had no interest in the Middle East,” she admits. “I found it dark and depressing, but when 9/11 happened, I was transferred to a taskforce on Afghanistan.” Over the next two years, Wilder became an expert on a country she didn’t even visit. Accustomed to traveling as a child, Wilder began to feel she would “rather dodge bullets than spend another day at my cubicle.” So she volunteered for a 90-day assignment as a counterinsurgency analyst in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq, which would stretch into 21 months between the years 2003 and 2005. In her own words, the position was Wilder’s first taste of the frontlines. A seminal moment for Wilder came in spring March 2004, when four Blackwater security guards were killed in Fallujah, and their corpses burned and strung from a bridge. The United States responded by invading the city to rid insurgents – and Wilder was there. “I was the only woman on base, sleeping in a tent with six guys. It got to the point that I was so exhausted, so mentally drained, that I felt a sense of helplessness. What is this actually doing to end the insurgency?” Wilder asked herself. “It felt like catching drops of water from a leaky faucet.” Wilder found some clarity one evening after a run while overlooking the Euphrates River. “It was so calm and peaceful, and the only thing I could hear was the gurgling of the water and the swaying of the bulrushes, and not the sound of a bomb,” recalls Wilder. “It was such an incredible contrast to what I had experienced in Fallujah, and I remember wanting to float down that river, let the stress go, and I realized that if I did I would end up downstream underneath the bridge that had started it all.4 continued on page 60

“When you’re just focused on the war zone, you miss the beauty of the river,” continues Wilder. “So which do you choose? You can’t focus on both, and in that moment, I chose the river.” In other words, says Wilder, “I was tired of just fighting the enemy. I wanted to build something.” Wilder made the decision to begin working with the Iraqi transitional government, during which she began “seeing Iraqis as partners instead of enemies. It was a complete transformation for me… and one that every American can and should make.” The problem is one of perception, and not limited just to the Middle East, though Wilder acknowledges “most Americans see that part of the world as ‘other’ and the enemy. So how can we turn the others into brothers, and how can we find that common ground and help them, and help ourselves?” After Wilder returned to Redding, she founded The Euphrates Institute to help answer those questions through creating avenues of dialogue. Practically, Euphrates has organized trips to the Middle East to give people the opportunity to learn about a region that many people have opinions about but little knowledge. “We also bring people out of the region on speaking tours and media appearances,” says Wilder, “so other people can be inspired by amazing peace builders who are there making a difference.” Euphrates also has a physical presence through local meetings, with 20 chapters spread across the country and internationally, including India and Pakistan, Palestine and Sweden, Colombia and, yes, even Redding. These chapters, says Wilder, “are doing the work of creating more understanding of the Middle East and its issues, while building bridges in their own communities with whoever the ‘other’ is.” Locally, that could mean political parties or the homeless, even neighbors. “Groups will go see films together, hear speakers or read books together, and usually there’s an interfaith component,” says Wilder, adding that many chapters visit mosques and synagogues. Mostly, though, chapters seek transformation through dialogue, with topics aiming to inform, inspire and transform. It’s like counseling in some ways, says Wilder, “by creating a space for listening, without an attempt to persuade or react.” That method is simple in theory, but difficult in practice. Still, Wilder has seen people transform to find common ground where they didn’t believe it existed. “You can’t force people to be open if they’re not ready,” says Wilder, but the doors of any chapter remain open for anybody when they are. • The Euphrates Institute www.euphrates.org Redding Chapter meets the first Thursday every month, 7pm Pilgrim Congregational Church, 2850 Foothill Blvd., Redding

EMPOWERING S H A S TA YO U T H L E A D E R S H I P C A M P

WANT TO CULTIVATE youth and teens who are healthy, happy leaders who can positively influence their peers? How about getting them off of their couches, away from their screens and out into the woods? This is the aim of Shasta Youth Leadership Camp, an annual camp designed to foster drug- and substance-free teens in Shasta County. With the support of the Youth Violence Prevention Council and involvement by local law enforcement and drug prevention agencies, kids in fourth through eighth grades apply in the spring and are selected by their teachers and Shasta Youth Leadership staff to attend a three-day, four-night camp in July at Whiskeytown Environmental School. By developing their leadership potential, kids learn that they’re not just “saying no to drugs.” They are being trained to be leaders in their schools and their peer groups, a positive example of living a drug-, gang- and violence-free

Kids

life. Charlie Menoher, former Shasta County superintendent of schools and former director of the Youth Violence Prevention Council, was instrumental in creating the camp in its current form. When the state stopped funding school Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) programs years ago, Menoher saw a void and was determined to help fill it, while moving the curriculum toward more of a leadership focus. He says, “You need kids who are face to face with other kids and acting as good role models.” The key elements of saying no to drugs and peer pressure are still there, but at the core of the new model are the concepts of participation, affiliation and expectations. “Kids have a chance to participate and belong; they have a chance to succeed,” he notes. Janaea Guterding, who has been in charge of the camp for the past six years and involved with it for more than a dozen, says deep bonds and lasting friendships are made there. Central to the camp experience is the rule that no electronic devices are allowed 4 continued on page 64

in camp. They are rarely missed. “We start with camp songs and dinner that first night, then have a keynote speaker in line with that year’s theme.” Last year the camp had an Olympic theme with snowboarder Kelly Clark as keynote speaker. Clark is a three-time Olympic gold medalist who also started a foundation that awards grants and scholarships to youth, making snowboarding more financially accessible and increasing diversity in the sport. She delivered a message of empowerment, urging the campers to live healthy lives. During the four days of camp, barriers are quickly broken down. On Monday morning, kids break into four different “color groups” with bright T-shirts designating them and participate in three hours of leadership training. Tuesday’s activities include team-building exercises designed to get the kids working together. Challenges include making a “spider web” in a thicket of trees, using yellow crime scene tape that they must get through without touching the tape, forcing them to collaborate to come up with solutions. On Public Safety Day, law enforcement officers stage a mock pursuit inside camp. Three police cars chase a “bad guy” and the SWAT team performs an extraction. A California Highway Patrol helicopter lands in the meadow, and a police dog is part of the proceedings. Kids can talk to the officers and learn more about what they do. “It helps build a positive relationship between the campers and law enforcement,” Guterding says. Before meals, teams are in a competition. They might, for instance, be tasked with making up new lyrics to current pop songs, giving the words a breakfast theme. It encourages teamwork, then rewards the winners, who get to go first to the meal. Courtney Graves, now 19, started camp in seventh grade and has been a camper or counselor since then. “My favorite part is the enthusiasm and cheering during our competitions,” she says. “We were all so close by the end of camp.” Graves is a nanny and a student at Shasta College who says she fell in love with working with kids during her summers. Says 19-year-old Cameron Raab, a former camper who is now a counselor: “My favorite thing about camp is how welcoming it is and that it’s a diverse environment where no one is shut out.” One exercise the kids perform when they gather in their cabins in the evening is writing a positive thing about each person. They’re encouraged to go beyond the surface when they choose what to say. “We say, ‘Don’t compliment their hair. Remark on how they’re always kind to others,’” Guterding says. Those who run the camp believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend, so tuition fees are low and limited scholarships are available. Says Guterding, “We could not possibly have camp without the generous donations of so many businesses and service clubs in the area.” • Shasta Youth Leadership Camp www.shastayouthleadershipcamp.weebly.com (530) 227-0954• Find SYLC on Facebook Camp dates: July 16-19, 2017 Counselor applications available online March 2017 Camper applications available online April 2017

‘Everything Joe touches turns to music.’ — David Grisman

Spontaneous MUSIC J O E C R AV E N A N D T H E S O M E T I M E R S TO P L AY I N R E D D I N G JOE CRAVEN PLAYS THE CONGAS, bongos, shakers and just about anything else he gets his hands on. He can slap out rhythms on his face and make mind-boggling percussion sounds with his mouth. It has been said that he is a one-man rhythm section, but that is not to underestimate his talent on the mandolin and violin. “Music is imagination, expression, therapy and living in the creative spirit, It doesn’t need labels as much as it needs opportunity,” he says. “Through exploration, sincerity of application and practice, you can make music on just about anything.” Craven grew up in Atlanta during the ‘60s, listening to the music of the day. His father played guitar around the house, and in high school (after bluffing his way through a music class without ever learning to read notes), he realized that he, too, had a good ear. He began performing on electric guitar in rock bands during his high school years. At the University of South Carolina, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in museology and aesthetics, learning how art functions.

Upon completing his degree, he moved west, continuing to play mandolin, exploring folk, bluegrass and swing for nearly two decades. He participated as a member of the David Grisman Quintet, a self-styled alternative bluegrass/ acoustic jazz band inspired by Bill Monroe’s bluegrass legacy and Django Reinhard’s 1930s swing music. Craven played percussion, fiddle and at times, traded licks with Grisman on the mandolin. A previous winner of the Folk Alliance Far-West Performer of the Year, he has made his home in Dixon, southwest of Sacramento. He’s performed or recorded with Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli, The Alison Brown Quartet, Maria Muldaur, Vassar Clements, Psychograss, Bonnie Raitt, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, David Lindley, Tom Waits, The Persuasions and many more. He is a sought-after studio musician who has performed music and sound effects on a wide variety of recordings, including commercials, soundtracks, computer games and several Grammy-nominated projects. His musicianship is also featured in the 2001 Sony Pictures Release, “Grateful Dawg.”4 continued on page 68

“Music is imagination, expression, therapy and living in the creative spirit."

Joe Craven and the Sometimers, featuring Bruce MacMillan (guitars) and Jonathan Stoyanoff (bass), a trio that adheres to a “no genre left behind” policy celebrating POP music (as in “Pursuit of Possibility”).

More a re-composer and recycler of music as object and idea, Craven says, “I love how the process of folk music works, pieces learned from the aural tradition of observation, homemade and handed down person to person, generation to generation; tunes and songs embellished and altered with different versions through time creating new music altogether. In the world we live in, when you learn other people’s music, you learn about your own. That’s where the new music comes from.” As an educator, his clinics, workshops and school presentations on music participation have captivated audiences around the country. He focuses on how to improvise with music, explaining that learning music is traditionally taught by repetition stressing accuracy. One of his main objectives is to help students become more open to the spur of the moment. “There are many aesthetically wounded people on this planet. Maybe someone told them that they couldn’t sing, or that they sucked, when they were 6 years old. That slap on the heart is hard to recover from. It’s like artistic paralysis. Economic recession is a reality, but allowing a recession in our ability to learn how to critically think, problem solve and see possibility is a reduction that, more than money, we can’t

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2017

afford in our lives. In challenging times, there always exists the opportunity of the ‘Mother of Reinvention.’ “My passion is to help folks realize the importance of seeing art and arts education, not merely as enrichment or enhancement, but as the bedrock of one’s life. If art is approached and taught as a problem-solving mechanism, people can embrace its application as valuable, if not crucial, to all individuals. It’s difficult to create the world as it might be if we have been required to memorize the world as it is; living out of imagination instead of memory is the way to a life in pursuit of possibility.” • Joe Craven and The Sometimers with Radim Zenkl opening Saturday, March 18 Pilgrim Congregional Church, Redding www.oaksongs.org

THE

R E D D I N G S P O RTS M A N ' S E X P O DUSTIN JANC IS HAPPIEST when he’s outdoors, on the trail of deer and elk, angling for trout or trying to outsmart a wild turkey. Sometimes, though, the weather, work and family obligations keep him out of the woods and off the water. It was during one of those idle stretches when the Cottonwood resident got to thinking. Wouldn’t it be cool, he thought, if Redding had an off-season event tailored for outdoors lovers like himself ? About 18 months ago, he posed that question to his mother-in-law, Angie Gurrola, who co-owns Mesa Productions with her husband Rick and has a wealth of experience in promoting concerts and events. She agreed, but offered up one caveat: you better do a bang-up job or your event will be a one-and-done flash in the pan. Janc took that advice to heart. He enlisted sponsors, lined up exhibitors, booked the Civic Auditorium, spread the word and hoped for the best. Some 10,000 people came through the doors during that weekend in April and the Redding Sportsman’s Expo was on the map. Buoyed by that reception, Janc is back and ready to officially tab the expo as an annual event, with Round Two set for the first weekend in April.

“I noticed this was kind of lacking. There were just no outdoors-oriented events. And one day it kind of clicked and with the help of my in-laws, I put something together,” Janc says. He adds that it doesn’t hurt that Redding is basically Ground Zero for outdoor recreation. Janc also was able to take advantage of the contacts he’s developed through Out West Outdoors, a video production company he operates with three fellow hunting enthusiasts. “I reached out to them and they knew a lot of people who wanted to come,” he says. More than 100 exhibitors will be on hand to interact with people interested in boating, hiking, fly fishing, kayaking, camping, mountain biking, hunting and anything else pertaining to the outdoors. Visitors can learn about local hunts, book a fishing guide, attend seminars on fly-fishing, fly tying and big-game hunting and enjoy hunting and fishing videos. Retailers scheduled to have representatives on hand include Sportsman’s Warehouse, Down Range Indoor Training Center, Girls with Guns Clothing, Olde West Gun & Loan, Bastiani Arms, Nor Cal Arms, Crown Motors, Redding Yamaha Sea Doo Can-Am, Harrison’s Marine & RV, Deadeye Outfitters Apparel and Outdoor Ally. People looking for more active pursuits can visit an archery range or play a game of archery tag using protective gear and special arrows tipped with what appear to be giant marshmallows. The more adventurous can traverse a 260-foot zip line or scurry up a climbing wall.4 continued on page 72

Dustin Janc, above, says the Redding area is a gold mine for folks like him, who love to hunt, fish, hike and camp.

Refreshments will be available in the beer garden and a few local restaurants will be operating food booths. Janc says every visitor will automatically be entered into a raffle for a gun, a gun safe and other prizes. “Other vendors will offer raffles too. Attendees will have a chance to win prizes by just walking in the door.” When he isn’t out in the woods or organizing the expo, Janc stays busy with his job as a supervisor at Costco. Janc and his wife, Karli, are the parents of son Easton and daughter Addison. Janc says both kids enjoy hunting and fishing and tag along on trips whenever they can. Janc says his personal preferences on hunting lean more toward deer, elk, wild pigs and turkeys. For fishing, he favors streams and creeks, “but to tell you the truth, I’ll fish anywhere. I just like to get outside.” • Redding Civic Auditorium • www.reddingsportsmansexpo.com 9 am to 5 pm Saturday, April 1• 9 am to 4 pm Sunday, April 2

Make this recipe with your choice of greens, kale, spinach or chard, or any combination thereof, and top with a tomato-based pasta sauce for a great vegetarian option or with a meat sauce to beef it up.

Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Preheat oven to 375Â°F. STEP 2: Cook noodles in hot salted water, according to package directions, just to the al dente stage. Once cooked, drain and lay all noodles separately on a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent them from sticking, and allow them to cool.

STEP 6: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove and allow let cool for about 5 minutes before dishing up. STEP 6: Serve with fresh grated parmesan and a garnish of fresh basil.

STEP 3: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and zucchini and cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the greens and cook until wilted, 5-10 minutes. Lastly, add garlic and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

Lana Granfors has resided in Redding since moving here from Texas in 1975. She devotes time to her passions: family, travel, gardening and cooking. A self-taught cook, her recipes are created with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, ease of preparation and of course, flavor.

STEP 4: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, half the mozzarella, egg, salt and pepper. Stir in the greens. STEP 5: Spread a couple of heaping spoons of pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the greens mixture evenly between the noodles, spreading the mixture over the entire length of each noodle. Roll up the noodles and carefully place each in baking dish, side by side, touching, and with the seam on the bottom. Pour the remaining pasta sauce over the rolls, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella.

GIVING BACK

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY KENDRA KAISERMAN

BUSINESS CASUAL C A S U A L F R I DAY S F O R A C A U S E G I V E S B A C K TO T H E CO M M U N I T Y

FOR ACCOUNTING FIRM Hathaway, Ksenzulak & Lapp, LLP, it’s simple. Each Friday, if a staff member wants to dress in casual attire, he or she will put a dollar in the box at the front of the office. At the end of the quarter, the company matches what is in the box and gives the funds to a local nonprofit. They call it Casual Fridays for a Cause. Partner Karina Lapp, who has been with the company for 23 years, brought the idea the office “because I wanted to give back to the community. I wanted the staff to see that we were giving back to the community because a lot of things I do, my nonprofits, I do after-hours. I wanted there to be a greater percentage of people understanding what I did and what the firm did.” Office Manager Jill McKinley, who has been with Hathaway, Ksenzulak & Lapp for seven years, recalls when Lapp thought of the idea. “I remember you talking to me about it right at the get-go. You had heard about it and it was right around that time that the employees were like, ‘It’d be nice to have a Casual Friday,’ and so you incorporated it all together.” Casual Fridays for a Cause began the first quarter of 2014, where they donated to the Wounded Warriors. “We decided even during tax season

to start it, which is really foreign for a lot of us, because we’re CPAs, we dress in a certain manner, especially during tax season,” Lapp says. “I had clients come in during that first quarter that thought that all I owned was suits, because they had been with me for 20-plus years and they’re going, ‘Wow, you wear jeans?’” Each quarter is different, especially during tax season. “During tax season we get more client donations, but Hathaway, Ksenzulak & Lapp matches any donations made by employees or clients—whatever’s in the box and then some, usually,” says McKinley. Each nonprofit is chosen randomly by the staff. Everyone writes the name of a nonprofit down on a piece of paper and puts it in a box, and Lapp chooses an organization from the box. In the beginning, the nonprofits didn’t know they were chosen until they received a check and a letter explaining what it was for. Last year, Hathaway, Ksenzulak & Lapp started letting the nonprofits know right when they got chosen. It’s not only an inexpensive price to pay each week, but “it involves everybody in the office, and it’s not just you writing a check,” McKinley says. Today, Hathaway, Ksenzulak & Lapp is supporting its 13th organization, Riverfront Playhouse. “It is a fun way to give back to the community,” says Lapp. McKinley notes that a lot of people are interested in Casual Fridays for a Cause and often ask to know more about it. “You never know, this might spark other people’s interest and it will only be good for the nonprofit,” McKinley says. From an employee’s perspective, McKinley says, “you’re taking something that the employees wanted and you’re incorporating it with a greater good. It’s a win-win situation.” •
