All that rain has made for an abundantly gorgeous spring - and isn’t that just the loveliest metaphor for life? Healthy Shasta is improving our community’s wellness, one bike ride and fruit smoothie at a time. And if you’re ready to follow their lead, there’s no better time to step outside and absorb the North State’s awe-inspiring scenery. We’ll share some tips about a few of our favorite trails. Then, celebrate the health of our planet at the 11th annual SARAH LOOGMAN Whole Earth and Watershed Festival. Held on Earth Day, the by Ryan Thompson festival will help you become a better steward of this place we call home. Celebrate the Western way of life at the Red Bluff Round Up, where you can spend a couple of days immersed in what has become a daily lifestyle for folks like the Bridwell family. Their story is one of many that shows the grit, determination and passion that is required to make a living in the rodeo world. You can also soak up some cultural fun at the Chico Wildflower Music festival, which features an all-day lineup of entertainment for any age. Headlined by The Mother Hips, the festival benefits the tuition-free charter school, Wildflower Open Classroom. And finally, you’ll be inspired by the Junior Leadership Development Program, where mentors are helping guide young people into adulthood with faith, hope and confidence. Wishing you a bright and beautiful spring. Enjoy!

Cowboy WAY -THE-
T H E R O D E O B U S I N E S S W I T H T H E B R I D W E L L FA M I LY AS A THRIVING RODEO for nearly 100 years, the Red Bluff Round Up attracts those steeped in the Western way of life year-round as well as those who don hats and boots to take a weekend trip to an America they’ve never lived in, but appreciate. All are welcome and all are needed to keep the sport alive. Behind the scenes at the North State’s premier Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeos – the Red Bluff Round Up from April 21-23 and Redding Rodeo in May – will be a young Red Bluff family that epitomizes the future of professional rodeo, Tim and Haley Bridwell, and their blended mix of six children.
Tim, a native of McArthur, is a rodeo stock contractor with Growney Brothers Rodeo who has focused on building a herd of champion bucking horses and is now developing a herd of bucking bulls. “I’m more interested in the hands-on stuff,” he says. “I like putting on rodeos. I like bucking horses, I like bucking bulls.” Haley, from Abbeyville, Kan. – “pretty much dead in the center” – helps with the stock and is also an independent contractor serving as the rodeo secretary at around 20 professional rodeos a year. The position puts her front and center with contestants, stock contractors, media and the committees that organize each performance. In a sport4 continued on page 14

that requires its athletes to travel long and hard, often broke and injured, she also becomes a mama bear to cowboys missing family and struggling to make ends meet on the rodeo trail. Together, they embrace rodeo as a way of life and a way to make a living, steeped in the traditions, but bringing a modern perspective to the sport they love. They keep fans updated on Facebook, even through the off-season, for while there might not be any rodeos happening then, life is busy back on the ranch with mares giving birth to the next generation of bucking stock. “The one thing that really moves me more than anything else in this business is the raising of a young animal and watching him buck,” says Tim, noting that he chose the now-famous horse Capone from a field of colts early on and placed a friendly bet on his success. In December, Capone went to his second National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and scored second highest one night. “Next year he’ll be the best in the whole system,” he says with obvious pride. “The animals become part of our family, too,” says Haley, explaining how she and Tim are blending their families, which include her four boys – Jaden, 14, Jace, 12, Jaret, 8, and Jaxton, 4 – as well as Tim’s girls, Tyler, 12, and Tate, 10. The couple came together after a few wrong turns down the rodeo road, a terrain that takes its toll on many families and relationships through long, lonely turns, physical pain and financial instability. If a cowboy doesn’t win at a rodeo, he doesn’t get paid. He’s often away from loved ones at long stretches of time. Drawn early on to the sport, Tim started out as a bull rider. A major injury sidelined him and he was offered a welding job by Don Kish, a breeder of champion bucking bulls in Red Bluff, while he recovered. “I fell in love with steady money,” says Tim. In 2005, he bought into Growney Brothers Rodeo Company and began building its herd of

www.EnjoyMagazine.net APRIL 2017
bucking horses, elevating the company previously known primarily for its Kish-raised bulls. The company now takes eight horses to the National Finals Rodeo, the ultimate sign of success in the business. As for Haley’s history in rodeo, “This is the only life I’ve known,” she says. Her dad and grandpa were stock contractors in Kansas. “My grandma was a rodeo secretary,” she adds. “I took over her position when I was 17 years old.” She studied journalism and marketing in college and brings those skills to their company. Says Tim, “We have a lot more of a following than I could ever have done.” While Haley smiles at the praise, she insists, “We just have a good ebb and flow as far as what he’s good at and what I’m good at.” The business keeps the family on the road much of the year, but while they may live and breathe rodeo, it is far from their only form of sustenance. In the winter, Haley coaches youth league basketball, saying, “If there’s one thing I know that’s close to rodeo, it’s basketball.” In the fall, her mom comes to Red Bluff to take care of the kids so young Jaret can play football with the Red Bluff Mighty Mites while his parents finish out the rodeo season. It takes a lot of commitment and juggling to keep the family thriving. Says Tim, who built his reputation on a fierce determination, “I don’t mind slowing down and taking my time, especially with the kids.” Adds Haley, “We’ve gone through challenges in life where we’ve had to face hardships. Because of that, nothing in business is really that hard.” • Find Bridwell Livestock on Facebook

to a GREAT Life! I was born and raised in Redding. Growing up I danced, played almost every sport my school offered, and was even in band. High school was a tough time for me. It became more important to focus on boys and partying than school. I started experimenting with drugs and alcohol and I got so caught up in that life I stopped going to school. I became disrespectful and distant to my family. It was almost two years before my family convinced me to go back to high school. That’s when I came to Shasta College and the Gateway to College program. I was 16. When I first came to Gateway to College I had the mindset to get my diploma and get out— college wasn’t in the picture. Not only did I begin to grow from this program, the program grew on me. It renewed my self-worth, my potential, and my capability. After my second semester in the program I saw first-hand how invested college students were in their futures. It occurred to me how capable I was, and right then, college became attainable for me. After graduating from High School and now attending Shasta College full-time, my Gateway family is still here for me and I visit them often. I love school now, knowing that every class I take is a step toward attaining my future goals. My Gateway teachers and friends have forever changed my life and I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for everything they have done for me.

T H E F I F T H A N N U A L C H I CO W I L D F LO W E R M U S I C F E S T I VA L AS THE FLOWERS start to bloom, music will also be flourishing at the fifth annual Wildflower Music Festival on April 22. The familyfriendly event features an all-day lineup of musical guests, kids’ activities, jump houses, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, and more. The annual Chico gathering benefits Wildflower Open Classroom, a tuition-free public charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade. “The idea of the festival was brought up by parents at the school and the director (Tom Hicks) five years ago. They didn’t want to do the normal fundraisers that all the other schools do, so they thought, why not put on a music festival? It wasn’t successful the first year but we stuck with it and it’s grown. This year is looking to be our best one yet,” says event volunteer Colleen Taylor, whose three boys attend Wildflower Open Classroom. “None of us get paid. We do it because it’s fun and we love our kids’ school,” she adds. The Wildflower Music Festival was held at the Chico Elks Lodge until Greg Amaral suggested they move it to his field on the end of Normal Street. Taylor calls it the “field of dreams” due to its ideal size for a school-benefit festival. “In the beginning, it was a tiny school carnival thing, and then it was like, let’s try to get The Mother Hips,” said Taylor. The beloved local band soon responded, happy to come back to its hometown to benefit the charter school. “Usually we have it on Mother’s Day since The Mother Hips have been headlining the last few years, but this year we changed it to Earth Day,” says Taylor. Doug Churchill first attended the Wildflower Music Festival in 2015 when he was asked to photograph it. “My favorite act was the Easy Leaves – kind of alt country style, they are excellent musicians with great stage presence and songs.” Churchill’s two daughters have attended Wildflower Open Classroom since 2013. “I think the Wildflower Music Festival is a fantastic fundraiser for Wildflower Open Classroom. It allows the community as whole to come together and enjoy beautiful music and tasty food.”4 continued on page 18

The Wildflower Music Festival offers a tiered pricing structure, and in the first three weeks of the 2017 festival presale, 150 tickets were issued. In the tiered structure, the highest rate for a single adult ticket is $40, and kids 12 and under are free. The festival sells upwards of 1,000 tickets to concert-goers who can view the rotating lineup of musicians from noon to 8pm on the main stage. The festival will also feature at least 20 merchandise booths, five food vendors, a Sierra Nevada beer garden, a massage area run by Wildflower School moms, crafts, lawn games, jump houses and a silent auction. In the spirit of Earth Day, this is a totally waste-free festival with Klean Kanteen cups to drink out of. Although free parking is available, people are encouraged to bike to the event. “This event brings a fun, Chico family crowd and a happy, positive vibe,” says Taylor. • 2017 Wildflower Music Festival lineup: Noon-1 pm: Kyle Williams Born in Tulsa, Okla., Williams spent many of his formative years in Paradise. As a singer-songwriter who has performed locally for more than a decade, he is known for his rich melodies and relatable songwriting. 1-2 pm: Loki Miller Band Offering up “old-fashioned entertainment done the old-fashioned way,” these Chico musicians delight crowds with country, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and classic hits. 2-3 pm: Jeff Pershing Band Radiating a playful and positive energy, this band keeps the crowd moving with its mix of rock, funk, jazz, Afro pop, blues and reggae paired with uplifting lyrics. Even non-dancers have been known to bust a groove to the Jeff Pershing Band.

3-3:30 pm: The Mother Hips special acoustic set Playing rock music for more than 25 years, the band started jamming together when they attended Chico State University and lived offcampus in Bradley Hall. They played at local parties and clubs before getting noticed by major record labels. Now based in San Francisco, this popular local band jumped at the chance to play the Wildflower Music Festival and has a special acoustic set planned for the kids. 3:30-4:30 pm: Surrogate Immersed in the Chico music scene in various ways for a while now, the members of Surrogate draw their inspiration from “the introspective indie bands of the ‘90s and 2000s.” This alternative indie band offers classic melodies accompanied with a guitar-driven sound for swaying side-to-side shoegazers. 4:30-5:45 pm: Junior Toots Originally from Jamaica, Junior Toots is the son of living legend Toots Hibbert of Toots and The Maytals. Growing up in the presence of his dad’s band rehearsals made him also want to entertain people, so he migrated to the United States to live with his mother when he was a teen. He learned how to dance, rap and sing, releasing his first single in 1989. Now on his own label, Junior Toots delivers reggae, R&B and hip-hop all in one package to Rastafarian-loving folks. 6-8 pm: The Mother Hips main set Coming off of the Noisepop 25 tour and three nights at a snowy Aleyeska resort, The Mother Hips return to the Wildflower Music Festival to delight an all-ages crowd and dedicated fans with their signature rock tunes.

A WRIGHT WELCOME N A KO M A C LU B H O U S E A N D R E S O RT
IN 1923, Nakoma Country Club of Madison, Wis., commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design its clubhouse, and then, well, nothing happened. The club went with another architect, and though Wright had finished the design, his plans were scrapped and archived within his estate. Then in the mid ‘90s, Dariel and Peggy Garner approached Taliesen, Frank Lloyd Wright’s School of Architecture, wanting to use Wright designs for a real estate venture in California. The couple was shown the design for the long-shelved Nakoma clubhouse, which they loved, so they purchased the rights and eventually
built the structure in the southern corner of Plumas County in 2001. In a metaphorical sense, Wright’s forgotten plans seemed destined for an area also known as the Lost Sierra, but in a physical sense, the design also complements the area’s geography and landscape, as Wright would have intended. Resting on the crown of a hill, Nakoma’s three conical towers follow the natural ascent of its environs, harmonizing with the surrounding pines and peaks. Even the high plain of neighboring Sierraville seems more reminiscent of Midwestern landscape than the California Sierras.4 continued on page 22

Suited to its geography and also paradoxically out of place, the Native American-inspired design feels at home in nature while the comfortable amenities offered by the resort also make it something of an oasis. Jamie Bate, who runs marketing for the resort, says the clubhouse “just kind of pops up out in the woods.” There’s an element of isolation, but it also includes the charm of neighboring Graeagle, Sierraville and Quincy, old lumber towns and glimpses of Americana, populated by generational cattle ranchers and offering respite from the tourism of Tahoe and Truckee. Two statues, Nakoma and Nakomis, based off Wright’s original drawings, greet visitors to Nakoma Clubhouse, which includes the resort’s bar, restaurant and spa. Guests can purchase massages and other treatments in the spa, but also have free access to saunas and a treading pool. Guests also flock to the resort to “slay” the Dragon, a renowned mountain golf course that hugs the Feather River, while staying in one of the 42 bedrooms in the Lodge at Nakoma, which was built in 2015. Owners are also constructing a new recreation center, which they expect to be completed in July. It will include a climbing wall, heated pool and gym equipment, all of which will be free to Nakoma guests. The real gem at Nakoma, of course, is its clubhouse, whose every detail has been marked by Wright’s hand. The building’s three spires were inspired by Native American teepees, and are decorated with hand-painted ceramic beads and crowned with copper and rose-colored volcanic stone. Low-ceilinged entrances and hallways open to soaring spaces, most notably the 56-foot-wide and 60-foot-high Wigwam Room, whose central fireplace rises like a supporting pillar around which diners enjoy their meals. The food served at Nakoma’s clubhouse could compete with any distinguished chef from New York, and the meals are only overshadowed by panoramic views of the valley below, and by the soaring interior design above. Exposed beams rise in geometric patterns against a colored wooden frieze and painted glass.
“We’re in a really unique area,” agrees Bate, adding, “the Lost Sierra area is really the hidden gem of the Sierras.” Which would make the Nakoma Clubhouse a hidden gem within a hidden gem. And it is. “Their place is really cool,” says Bate. “You go up this little dirt road off the 70, and they’ve got a beautiful brew house up there, with terraced decks, and during the summer you can bring and barbecue your own food. There are hammocks, and a nine-hole disc golf course.” Of course the area has every outdoor activity from snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter to mountain biking, hiking and fishing in the summer, making the location as much an attraction as the resort. “We’re in a really unique area,” agrees Bate, adding, “the Lost Sierra area is really the hidden gem of the Sierras.” Which would make the Nakoma Clubhouse a hidden gem within a hidden gem. And it is. • www. nakomaresort.com

To dine in the Wigwam Room feels like entering the hollow of a mountain, expansive and yet enclosed, and one becomes aware of the building’s historical significance, though it is relatively young, thanks to the architect’s small touches. Adding an element of romance between the distant mountain peaks and the property’s remote location is the thought that Wright had chosen this location specifically to keep his design hidden, but finally actualized. As much as the Nakoma Clubhouse is its own beacon and destination, it is because of its location in the Lost Sierra that its comforts are enhanced. Not that the resort does not stand on its own, but here it stands alone. And yet there is an interconnectedness between the community and its guests that isn’t usually found at resorts. Local residents regularly attend Friday night gatherings alongside guests of the resort, sharing wine, appetizers and conversation, and local musicians perform in the Wigwam Room on the weekend. The resort also serves locally brewed beers by Brewing Lair.

I N B L O O M W I T H L O R I L U M B AT T I S A N D F R U G A L D A M E THERE’S A MOMENT in a girl’s life in which she meets the full-fledged woman growing within her – the moment she swaps her T-shirt, jeans and boots for a dress that makes her feel alive in a way she’s never experienced before. It’s a moment that Lori Lumbattis, owner of The Frugal Dame in Redding, refers to as “seeing a young woman bloom for the first time,” and it’s what she calls the greatest joy in owning a business that specializes in formalwear rentals for women and men. Established in March 2013, the concept of The Frugal Dame began 24 years ago when Lumbattis’ mother rented a mother-of-thebride dress for her wedding. She saw that idea to fruition about four years ago, during which time she has curated a vast selection of rental bridesmaids dresses, evening gowns, cocktail
dresses, prom dresses and classic and western tuxedos for men. In addition to the formalwear, The Frugal Dame also offers a selection of shawls, purses and shoes for rent. Lumbattis recently added a line of bridesmaids dresses called Gather and Gown to her collection, which are available for sale, rather than rental. This modern collection of dresses is designed by world-renowned wedding guru David Tutera. The Frugal Dame could be called “the best of both worlds” in that it offers beautiful, oneof-a- kind dresses – many of which have been embellished by Lumbattis herself – all year long at a mere fraction of the cost of a formalwear purchase. It’s often difficult to find formalwear during the summer months, but the options are always available at The Frugal4 continued on page 26

Dame, even when the window for purchasing such fabulous formalwear has closed for the season at major retailers. Lumbattis finds that some of her clients rent with her during “weight fluctuations,” when women who are in between sizes don’t find it necessary to commit to purchasing an expensive dress that will only be worn for the short time between sizes. Her biggest struggle, she says, is keeping up with trends and having enough inventory available in all sizes for her clientele. But with a size range from 0 to 28, she’s firmly committed to rising to that challenge because it means having something to make every woman feel stellar. “There are ladies that say they’ve been all over town and can’t find anything who come into The Frugal Dame and find three or four options that work for them. They often can’t decide which dress to go with. My customers know that once I get to know them, I can have them ready within a few minutes,” says Lumbattis. Suzanne Birch, one of The Frugal Dame’s best clients, says The Frugal Dame “is an extension of my own closet, with a huge bonus. That bonus is Lori Lumbattis. She has invested the time in getting to know me and my color and style preferences, but she always nudges me to try something new. I always step out in style and confidence in a dress from The Frugal Dame.” The shop gets new inventory at least once a month and rotates items out periodically according to style and wear and tear on the dresses to ensure that the selection is always fresh. While much of The Frugal Dame’s selection comes from purchases from wholesale companies, she offers shop credit in exchange for items her customers bring in for her to rent out to her clientele – credit that can be used or gifted to someone in need. Rental prices are $25 for short dresses, $30 for long dresses, and between $35 and $50 for prom gowns for a Friday to Tuesday rental.

With prom season in full swing, Lumbattis is busy maintaining a full selection of the best 2017 has to offer. This prom season is sure to see the ever-popular mermaid, trumpet styles and A-lines, but she’s noticed that sleeves on gowns are making a comeback. “Soft fabrics like tulle and chiffon are always popular, as is basic black jersey material.” And, of course, dresses with the bling factor always shine. The other thing that shines brightly, not only at prom season, but all year long is Lumbattis’ giving spirit. “There are a few local teachers who know me directly and sometimes they’ll let me know of a young woman in need of a prom dress. They know I’ll take care of her,” she says warmly. Lumbattis also offers help to organizations like Ready For Life Foster Agency, Anderson Teen Center, Compass Shining Care, and Norcal Think Pink. She’s a sponsor for the Think Pink Prom. No matter where she extends a hand of kindness, her goal is always the same: to help people embrace their uniqueness, because according to Lumbattis, “that’s where the true beauty lies.” • The Frugal Dame • 3300 C Bechelli Lane, Redding (530) 999-3020 • www.thefrugaldame.com Find them on Facebook and Instagram Hours: Tuesday to Friday, noon to 6 pm; Saturday, noon to 5 pm

TAKE A BOW K Y L E T H U R M O N D H E A D S U P T H E B R OA DWAY E X P E R I E N C E WITH FAITH, trust and pixie dust, Redding native Kyle Thurmond will bring a little bit of Broadway to the North State this spring, with the help of about 40 ambitious young performers. Thurmond and the Redding School District are gearing up to present “The Broadway Experience” on May 5 and 6 at Sequoia Middle School. An actor, stage performer and musical theatre teacher in Southern California and the North State for about 15 years, Thurmond and his identical triplet brothers are best known for their work with the Walt Disney Company playing Peter Pan. The ensemble includes second- through eighth-graders from each of the district’s schools, who have been practicing after school for months. “I wanted to give Redding School District the best Broadway experience possible,” Thurmond says. The show features songs from “The Wiz,” “Mamma Mia,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Peter Pan,” “Oliver,” “The Sound of Music,” “Hercules,” “Dirty Dancing,” “Fievel Goes West” and “Hairspray.” Short skits serve as segues between acts. “Integrating more acting has been great for this production because it’s brought confidence out in a lot of kids that are usually really shy when it comes to speaking in front of the classroom,” says Thurmond, who wrote the scripts, selected the music and serves as both director and choreographer. “We’re proud of our support for the arts, but we didn’t think we were doing enough in the way of dramatic productions,” says Redding Elementary School District Superintendent Rick Fauss. “Kyle has the
unique ability to get the most out of kids by combining drama and dance with musical expression.” The Thurmond triplets – Kyle, Clayton and Matt – will perform “Climb Every Mountain” during the show. They were inspired by watching Barbra Streisand and Jamie Foxx sing it live as a duet, and “I thought the song was fitting for us, because all three of us are in different areas in our lives,” Thurmond says. Clayton is one of the leads in “Follies” in Los Angeles, and Matt just finished “Rudolph” at Madison Square Garden. Lights and sound are under the direction of Louis Hudson, who also helps with the youth performing arts program Kids Unlimited – to which the Thurmonds devoted many a childhood summer. Stage manager is Stacy Forman. Thurmond credits Kids Unlimited founder Dawn Hess for providing him and his brothers with invaluable performing opportunities. “We’re still reminiscing about Kids Unlimited 30 years later,” he says. For “The Broadway Experience,” the cast is learning how up-andcoming stars conduct themselves. “I'm very structured,” Thurmond says. “I'm teaching them how to act behind the scenes, in rehearsals, backstage, on stage. Nothing comes without hard work, and nothing comes without practice.” They’ll be doing a car wash to raise money for their cast party.4 continued on page 30

“It’s not only great to teach them theatrical work ethic, but it’s great to teach them how to work for something fun,” says Thurmond, who recently guest choreographed “Peter Pan” and “Mary Poppins” at the Cascade Theatre. “I tell the kids, ‘My hope and wish for you guys who really want to perform is that you leave Redding and do things even bigger than I’ve done. Hopefully I’ll get an email from you that says, “Kyle, I’m making my Broadway stage debut. Can you come and see it?”’ It’s cool to be able to work with kids who are passionate,” Thurmond says. And although it’s been plenty of hard work, the payoff is soon to come. “It's going to be worth it when they’re center stage under those lights in front of a live crowd,” Thurmond says. “There's nothing like it. When my brothers and I did ‘Peter Pan’ three summers ago, we never thought we were going to be

A G O U R M E T G U I D E TO S H A S TA C O U N T Y T R A I L S Another magnet for birdwatchers is the 1.5-mile Clover Creek Trail in east Redding just off Shasta View Drive. This one also features ponds along the unpaved trail. During the migrating seasons (March through April for northbound birds, November through February for those going south) you can see lots of ring-necked ducks and colorful goldeneye ducks, as well as blue herons and white egrets. Many of the herons and egrets stay in the ponds all year round. You can hike or bike along the river or drive to Shasta Dam, where you’ll find the Upper Ditch Trail on the east side of the river between Shasta and Keswick dams. The trail is lined with bay and oak trees and spice bushes, and you might even see a robin or two feasting on the red berries of the toyon bush. A little farther afield, heading out Placer Street, there’s the Swasey Trail System off Swasey Drive, where you’ll find4 continued on page 34

THE GREAT MOUNTAINEER and naturalist John Muir said you have to do some strenuous hiking, hit the upper elevations, if you want to enjoy awe-inspiring scenery. There’s some truth to that, but in our area, it’s also possible to enjoy some short, easy hikes at lower elevations that offer big dividends in scenic beauty. And if they inspire you to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Muir and go higher and farther, so much the better. Let’s start with a two-mile leg stretcher that starts at Caldwell Park, just across the river from downtown Redding. Park your car at the park just across from the river, and walk the short distance to the paved trail along the river. Turn left and head toward one of the big scenic dividends of our region: the Sundial Bridge. Along the way, if it’s a warm day, you’ll see turtles sunning themselves on a log in what’s left of the original Turtle Bay. On the way to the bridge you’ll also find an ingenious sundial. When you stand in the middle of it, your shadow points to the correct time. Another short Redding hike starts at the McConnell Foundation’s Lema Ranch headquarters near the intersection of Shasta View Drive and Hemingway Drive. There you’ll find about two miles of paved trails that skirt along ponds where birdwatching is popular and ring-necked ducks and wigeons abound.

the Meiner’s Loop Trail, a three-mile hike lined with pine and oak trees with a number of stream crossings. The trail leads to a high ridge, complete with picnic table, where you can enjoy a snack and a wonderful panorama that includes Lassen Peak and the town of Redding down below. There’s a whole system of trails around Lake Shasta under the domain of the U.S. Forest Service. The big plus this hiking season is that the lake actually has water in it. You can get started on these trails by taking the Packers Bay Road turnoff from I-5 and hiking the 2.8-mile Waters Gulch Trail. The payoff is not only some great views of the lake and its inlets, but on your way to the lake a scenic stretch of trail that skirts along the churning waters and small waterfalls of Waters Gulch Creek. The Waters Gulch trailhead is right off a small dirt parking lot about a mile from the freeway. The trail ends at the parking lot for the Packers Bay Boat Launch, and you’ll have to hike almost a mile along Packers Bay Road to get back to your car. Nearby is the 3.1-mile Bailey Cove Trail that you access by taking the Shasta Caverns exit off I-5. It’s a loop trail that will give you views of Lake Shasta from a variety of perspectives, as well as the sprawling Holiday Harbor marina on the north side of the trail. There is a $6 fee for the use of the parking lot at the trailhead. The Lake Shasta hikes might get you warmed up for a more ambitious hike in Lassen Park: The five-mile roundtrip to and from Paradise Meadow, which you access off Highway 89 from the north end of the park. Look for the parking lot immediately on the left after you cross Hat Creek. The trail follows Hat Creek to its headwaters at the meadow, where you’ll find a variety of wildflowers that include the red Indian paintbrush and orange-and-black tiger lilies. If you don’t want to slog through snow on this hike, it’s best to wait until July before heading to Lassen. • Starting in May, the Forest Service will be offering guided full moon hikes at Bailey Cove. Call 275-1587 for details.

NO MORE is a campaign that aims to raise community awareness and engagement around ending domestic violence and sexual assault. The NO MORE slogan “Together we can end domestic violence and Sexual Assault” was originally launched in 2013 and we are proud to have two local high schools with current NO MORE clubs. Enterprise High School and U-Prep (University Preparatory School) each host a club for students that meet biweekly at lunch and after school engaging students to raise awareness within their schools and communities. One SAFE Place’s Prevention Department attends the clubs helping the students to facilitate the NO MORE activities and promotions. We asked our NO MORE club students the following question: “How would you respond if someone told you about a sexual abuse incident? “Here’s some ways our club members believe could help when aiding someone with a tough situation. • Provide care as a friend and help safety plan. • Listen, if nothing else. • Ask the person what they need emotionally and physically. • Suggest local resources such as Law Enforcement, Counseling, and One SAFE Place. • Use a calm and comforting voice. • Validate their feelings and reinforce their value as a person. • Don’t be pushy or pressure the person to talk if they aren’t ready. • Position yourself side by side with the person, rather than face to face. This offers a less confrontational setting and is more comfortable to share details of hard situations. • Practice self-care during this time, because you cannot effectively care for someone without caring for yourself first. • Maintain your composure while they’re talking to you. • Don’t pass judgement, be open minded. • Listen to understand, not to respond. • Do not make Statements or ask questions that focus on what a victim did or didn’t do; as this may make them feel responsible for what had happened. • It’s important to remember it is their journey and whatever decisions they make to go forward with than you need to support their decision, even if you do not agree.
The most important thing to remember is that you don’t need to be an expert — you need to be a friend.

S H I N E D O W N W I L L R O C K T H E S I LV E R D O L L A R FA I R I N C H I CO JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA has enjoyed a long and inspirational rock ‘n’ roll tradition. From the time the groundbreaking guitar sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd first put this vibrant city on the rock ‘n’ roll map, J-ville has played an integral role in the ongoing evolution of contemporary music. Now a Jacksonville-based hard rock band named Shinedown has added another exciting chapter to its hometown’s noble rock history book. The band was founded in 2001 by members Brent Smith (vocals), Brad Stewart (bass), Jasin Todd (guitar) and Barry Kerch (drums). A few lineup changes followed, and the band’s current lineup consists of Smith and Kerch, with guitarist Zach Myers and bassist and pianist Eric Bass. Since Shinedown’s inception, the group has released five albums: “Leave a Whisper” (2003), “Us and Them” (2005), “The Sound of Madness” (2008), “Amaryllis” (2012), and “Threat to Survival” (2015), all on Atlantic Records. “To be on a label for nearly 20 years and it to be Atlantic Records,” says Smith, “it just doesn’t occur very much anymore. We’re very lucky and fortunate that we’re on a label that has allowed us to be an artist on every single record we’ve produced. Of course, there’s pressure involved in all of that, and any
artist that tells you different is lying to you.” With its extensive list of chart-topping rock songs, massive touring and having sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, Shinedown has distinguished itself as a powerful force in modern rock ‘n’ roll and a steady fixture on the music scene. Weathering a windy road of personal struggles, their music conveys the utmost sincerity. Within those struggles, vocalist/songwriter Brent Smith and his fellow bandmates have found clarity and resolution. Each night the band takes the stage, band members open their audience up into their personal lives through their music. “Our fans have told us that our songs have pushed them to quite frankly fight for their lives,” Smith explains. “I talk with them on stage. My commitment to them is, I want people to feel empowered when we perform. Without them we are nothing. Even as a kid I watched how music could take a bad situation and make it great. Or it can take a moment when you’re unbelievably just engulfed by sadness and there’s a song that comes out of nowhere or you can put a song on and it just changes your mood instantaneously. I’ve also 4 continued on page 38

seen music heal people. I really have. I’ve seen it bring people back from just ultimate despair.” With Amaryllis, their fourth album, the song “Bully” was about not feeling like you can stand up for yourself and taking back your self-respect if you feel someone is belittling you or trying to push you around. About bullying, Smith says, ”When I was 10 years old, my dad took me to the garage and put a pair of boxing gloves on me and said, ‘I don’t ever want it to come to this, but you need to learn how to fight,’” Smith recalls. “And I got my butt kicked sometimes, but I always stood up for myself. By nature, I’ve just never backed down from what I believed in, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let someone push me around. It’s the same thing with my family, too. I wouldn’t let someone come into my house and mess with my girlfriend or my son.” All four of Shinedown’s previous studio albums gone either gold or platinum, and their latest release, “Threat To Survival,” appears headed down that same path. On “Cut the Cord”— a song that continues a record-setting streak in which each of the 19 singles released over Shinedown’s career has climbed to the upper regions of the radio charts — the band looks at the treacherous nature of self-destruction and puts out a call for self-empowerment. “It’s about anything that might wrap itself around you and keep you from becoming the person you truly want to be,” says Smith. “There’s a sense that everything that’s bad has a little bit of good to it, just like everything that’s good has a little bit of bad. The songs on this album address the reality that we’re all going to die at some point and that sometimes the willingness to survive is all you have. It’s about holding onto that sheer will to live, and getting through whatever might come your way because the legacy that you leave behind is what will carry you on to your next journey.” •

Terri Fields Hosler, Public Health ways, all with the aim of getting North State branch director for Shasta County Health and Human Services, was on the original steering residents to be active and eat wisely. committee.

Healthy Shasta Coordinator “We were one of the first Beth Woodworth says. “It’s a to have a collaborative of this type — a model movement anyone can be a part of.” The Healthy Shasta partnership, comprised we were asked to go around the state and talk of 23 agencies and organizations, formed in about,” Fields Hosler says.4 continued on page 42

During the past 10 years, childhood obesity rates in Shasta County have leveled and consumption of fruits and vegetables has increased, she says. “I think Healthy Shasta is really a true testament to the collaborative nature of Shasta County,” Fields Hosler says. “We’re a community where people come together.” While childhood obesity launched the effort, the scope has expanded. Healthy Shasta’s programs, events, resources and advocacy encompass healthy living for all ages. The collaboration works to get North State residents to eat fruits and vegetables, avoid sugary drinks and be active. It has led to more gardens, made-from-scratch meals, salad bars, running clubs, play equipment and water-bottle refilling stations at schools in Shasta County. It works with workplaces to swap doughnuts for fresh fruit at meetings and offer healthier options in vending machines. Farmers markets are another focus. At the farmers market in Redding, Healthy Shasta offers cooking demonstrations by chefs and a Farm Club where children get a $2 token to buy strawberries, apples, carrots and other edibles, or garden seedlings. Healthy Shasta set up a system so CalFresh EBT cards (the replacement for food stamps) can be used by low-income residents to make purchases at North State farmers markets. The collaborative is behind Bike Month every May and events like The Mayor’s Mountain Bike Challenge in Redding, which launched in February and runs through May 19. Healthy Shasta also participates in and supports events put on by others. Its website features 35 maps of local trails, guides to playgrounds and bike routes, as well as gardening tips, recipes and educational materials. Key funders of the partnership are Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency, Mercy Medical Center Redding and The McConnell Foundation. Additional grants are used to fund specific projects, such as Safe Routes

to Schools. Healthy Shasta encourages the mindset that making a healthy choice isn’t a tough choice, Woodworth says. It should not be viewed as something to be endured because it’s the right thing to do. A healthy choice should be embraced as fun, energizing, rewarding, delicious. When Healthy Shasta sets up its bicycle-powered blender at a health fair, the smoothies produced are always a big hit, Woodworth notes. She recalls a boy happily drinking a smoothie, who adamantly told her he did not like spinach. He was surprised when she told him: “You’re drinking spinach!” “Our vision is making being healthy easy — making it easy to be active and easy to eat healthy,” Woodworth says. • www.healthyshasta.org Healthy Shasta partners are: Anderson Partnership for Healthy Children • City of Anderson • City of Redding • City of Shasta Lake • Dignity Health Mercy Medical Center Redding • First 5 Shasta • Good News Rescue Mission • The McConnell Foundation • National Park Service • Redding Rancheria • Redding School District • Shasta College • Shasta Community Health Center • Shasta County • Shasta County Office of Education • Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency • Shasta Family YMCA • Shasta Head Start • Shasta Regional Transportation Agency • Simpson University • Turtle Bay Exploration Park • University of California Cooperative Extension • Viva Downtown

GLASS CLARANN BJERS’ GLASS ELEGANCE
A BLACK AND WHITE STRING forms from liquid glass pulled from the blue flames. At the deft hands of ClarAnn Bjers, the string moves as if magic is forming it into black and white translucent beads. Within the workshop of Glass Elegance, Bjers turns flat panes of glass into living creatures, flowing and molding into works of art. Thirteen years ago, glass was simply a school project. Homeschooling her children, Bjers needed art credit for their education. Together they enrolled in a glasswork class at College of the Siskiyous. Purchasing a kiln online, the family spent the semester learning the basics of the art. As the class ended, her young students lost interest, yet in Bjers a kinship with the medium and its possibilities arose. “Glass is a liquid which takes on its own life,” Bjers says. “I found myself only limited by my own imagination.” Setting up a work area in her husband’s automotive repair shop, Bjers began her journey. Her interests expanded. She experimented with fusing glass, learning the glass had a memory of its thicknesses and shapes. From her kiln and molds, she married colors of her medium, producing otherworldly plates. Her hands mastered lamp working, using a propane torch to manipulate the glass into strings and orbs of fabric-like fluid, from which vibrant, colorful jewelry arose. Four years ago, her husband suggested she open a studio. She found her creative space and filled it with raw materials and finished creations.4 continued on page 46

The room is a testimony to the beauty and complexity of her work. Three kilns fire glass. Tubes full of brushes, alongside her alcoholbased inks, await instruction. Metal leaf, drills, saws and a mind full of inspiration keep the work bench busy. With patient oversight, Bjers guides a student learning the craft. The novice mother, now the master artisan, passes on her talents through classes offered at the studio. The young student works with intense focus as her mentor guides her through the steps of firing the medium to 1,300 degrees down to the process of coloring and shaping her ideas into tangible artwork.
want my creations to be “ Idifferent. I’m always wanting to learn something new. ”
A notebook full of experience is kept on the workbench. “Each piece of glass has a personality. Glass types cool and heat at different rates,” Bjers says. “I keep a record of my experiments and collective knowledge to guide me.” Working with glass is an exercise in patience. The three kilns of the workshop are run by programmable computers. In fusing glass, it can take 18 hours to fuse two plates and another 12 for the glass to yield to a mold. There is a science to this art which is ever evolving. “When the ceramic tiles of the space shuttle entered the atmosphere, NASA noted the beautiful, rugged coating of the ceramic after being heated on reentry,” Bjers says. “Now I’m buying the same ceramic and using heat to imitate the process and transform it into art.” 46
www.EnjoyMagazine.net APRIL 2017
Bjers finds her creativity begins late at night. She often works until 3 am. The sounds of audio books fill her mind as her fingers shape and create a series of custom bottle stoppers with the image of Mount Shasta embedded in the glass. “Mount Shasta pieces,” Bjers says, “are my most popular creations.” The studio is full of books and ideas on glasswork. “I want my creations to be different. I’m always wanting to learn something new,” Bjers says. “I’ve established a complete studio where I can explore my dreams, from creating a necklace to my latest commission making a backsplash for a kitchen.” The works of Glass Elegance can be found in the Black Bear Gallery in Mount Shasta, the Siskiyou Arts Museum in Dunsmuir, the Mount Shasta Golf Resort and in her husband’s shop, Bjers Automotive. She also takes custom orders and collaborates with clients on designs. She brings customers and inquiries into her studio when called for an appointment. Deep blues, earth tones, subtle reds mix throughout her studio in small to large pieces. The colors and shapes represent a world of their own, drawing the eye to marvel at the life embodied in each piece of glass. “My family is filled with attorneys and judges. My mom once wondered if there was any creativity in us,” Bjers says. “Well, here I am and it can’t get any better, because my husband is my biggest fan.” • (530) 859-8003 Facebook: Glass Elegance By ClarAnn Bjers Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica.

HOW DOES SOFT TISSUE GRAFTING CHANGE SOMEONE’S SMILE? Nancy is an oncology nurse. She was embarrassed to smile because of her gingival recession. As a result, she didn’t smile at work. She wanted to be able to smile and make her patients feel better.

LIKE SO MANY PLAYERS, Daniel Bietz fell in love with soccer as a kid and then stayed with the sport, playing competitively and advancing through school, travel and club teams while also learning to be a referee. It was while alternating as a referee for semi-pro games in the Bay Area and as a player on amateur teams in Redding that a thought kept crossing Bietz’s mind. “I was thinking to myself, ‘Why don’t we have a higher-level team in Redding?’ We have some players up here that are the same caliber, with the same athletic and skill level as the Bay Area players.” The idea took hold and only strengthened its grip as Bietz, 33, shared it with other players, referees and coaches. As 2016 drew to a close, Bietz’s rhetorical question had developed a real-world answer in the form of the Redding Royals FC. Bietz and his collaborators, however, weren’t content to simply form a semi-pro soccer team. “I felt it needed to be a club with more of a purpose behind it than just high-level soccer,” Bietz says. Dismayed by what he saw as arrogance and lack of sportsmanship displayed at soccer’s higher levels—behavior “that can bring the whole team’s attitude down, bring the spirit of the game down and make it less enjoyable for other players, the fans, the coaching staff, referees, everybody”—Bietz says he was determined to “build a club that is focused on good sportsmanship, respect, honor, integrity and selflessness. “And that’s how this dream came about. Those have been our core values since the beginning. We’ve been picking our core players based on those values, and really championing those values on our club. We make sure everybody is on the same page. We even have players sign a code of conduct contract saying they’ll abide by that code,” Bietz says.4 continued on page 52
APRIL 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
51
That philosophy helped in the recruitment of head coach Benjamin Wade, a Susanville resident and former Lassen College coach with an extensive background in soccer. “His vision was in line with my own,” Wade says of the Redding Royals’ general manager. Bietz came to appreciate Wade’s style of coaching after refereeing some Lassen College games and watching the coach in action. “He was always professional and had good sportsmanship, very respectful with referees. And I was always impressed with how he interacted with his players and managed his team. You could tell his players respected him as a coach and worked hard for him. That says a lot about a coach.” When the Redding Royals FC was established, Bietz says Wade was at the top of his list of coach candidates. Last year, after Wade stepped down as coach after two seasons with Lake Tahoe Community College, Bietz approached him with vision for a semi-pro team in Redding. Wade, whose coaching career started 20 years ago when he launched Simpson University’s soccer program, brings a record of 243-63-33 to his new assignment. In addition to his new Redding Royals responsibilities, Wade serves as the artistic director and conductor of the Susanville Symphony. He is also well known for his three appearances on the pioneering CBS reality TV show “Survivor.”

The Redding Royals are in the Pacific Premier League and will compete against the Yuba City Alliance, the Glenn County Barnstormers, the Chico City Rangers, Bay Area United and the Ashland Starphire. The Pacific Premier League recently became affiliated with Champions Soccer League USA, which will allow the Redding Royals to advance to the U.S. Open Cup if they capture the league title. The Royals practice at Redding Soccer Park but are working on an arrangement to use University Preparatory High School’s soccer field as their home pitch. The season begins May 13 and continues through the end of July. Will the Redding Royals catch on? “The chances are very high,” says Steve Hofferber, a member of the Royals’ management team and a busy soccer coach (U-16 Missfits, Shasta High JV girls, Shasta College women’s assistant coach and associate head coach for Redding Royals women). “Everybody seems excited to have this level of soccer back in Redding again.” 4 continued on page 54

Brendan Ackley, the Royals’ team captain who also does community outreach, says having a semi-pro team in town can serve as a goal for young players throughout the region. As a Redding Youth Soccer League coach, a Redding Soccer Park employee and an avid player, he’s got his finger on the pulse of soccer in the community. “Redding has been waiting for a team like this to inspire the youth. It gives them a bigger vision and more than just playing to their senior year of high school,” Ackley says. “When he (Bietz) told me his vision, I thought it was an awesome avenue for local athletes. I was super excited and wanted to be a part of it.” • Find the Redding Royals FC on Facebook

T H E S H A S TA C O U N T Y J U V E N I L E R E H A B I L I TAT I O N FA C I L I T Y ’ S G R O W P R O G R A M THE SHASTA COUNTY Probation Department’s Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility is growing more than just fruits and vegetables through its innovative GROW program; it’s growing the lives of the young offenders in its care. GROW (Gardening, Responsibility and Ownership of Self and Community Wellbeing), a project funded through a Board of State & Community Corrections grant, partners with the Shasta County Office of Education, Garden of Hope and Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Council. “Our program partners mentor our kids, many of whom have not had positive role models,” says Tracie Neal, Chief Probation Officer. “These relationships are very powerful for our youth because they see people truly interested in improving their circumstances.” Division Director Sarah Till recognized an opportunity to transform unused site property into a multi-purpose garden. “We built about 160 raised beds where we have planted fruits and vegetables we like to eat,” says Till, whose kitchen facility staff cook seasonal foods from scratch as often as possible.
GROW teaches residents practical skills—how to compost, fertilize and plant flowers to ward off pests while attracting pollinators—but perhaps most importantly, how to care about—and for—living things. “They teach us how to love the plants,” says S.U., 17. “I love the GROW Program,” says J.S., also 17. “It actually brought people in the hall together. I helped pour the cement that the shed is on. I got to put my initials in it.” That kind of pride in ownership changes behavior and underscores the emphasis on rehabilitation that Neal and her staff view as their primary charge. “Most counties refer to facilities like ours as Juvenile Hall or Juvenile Detention,” says Neal. “When we opened the new facility in 2014, we chose to emphasize rehabilitation. Research indicates pro-social activities and community connection are key to success, and the GROW program is important in this regard as well as in providing leisure activity.” Adjacent to the garden, the facility houses about 60 chickens that produce 10 dozen eggs a week. Residents incubate and care for the eggs under adult supervision in the classroom. Their goal is to eventually produce all the eggs eaten within the facility.4 continued on page 58

The Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility also offers slow cooker classes so residents and their families can learn how to prepare the foods the youth are growing. “We recognize that rehabilitation and lasting change involve participation by the whole family,” says Neal, pointing to the benefits of involving parents in the role fresh fruits and vegetables play in their children’s lives. Presently, fewer than 100 minors are on probation in Shasta County. Due to instability at home, many move back and forth between and among family, community and the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility, which serves youth arrested for misdemeanor and felony charges up until their 19th birthday, according to Till. Innovation in program philosophy is not the only significant change, however. “When I came aboard in 2014, the facility looked very stark and clinical,” says Till. “I wanted to try and ‘soften’ it up. My son makes a lot of art that I have in my office and I thought it would be a good project for the residents.” The response was overwhelmingly positive. “They came up with parameters about what would be appropriate and then we used markers, colored pencils and paint on foam poster boards that we attached to the wall,” says Till. “They even participated in selecting where to hang the pieces.” The new focus has also meant the addition of leisure and recreation activities that enrich youth, the lack of which Till says provides a motive for criminal activity. “Formerly, free time consisted mostly of writing letters, playing basketball and reading books,” says

Till. “I wanted to bring a sense of normalcy by trying to fill their time with other positive activities.” By introducing youth to meaningful pursuits that they can continue for the rest of their lives, and by providing a continuum of care services to them once they are released, Till and Neal hope to give these kids a chance at a new beginning. Programs like GROW also serve another very important purpose. “We want to work with the kids on the restorative justice piece, helping them understand that some of their behaviors have negatively impacted others,” says Neal, who proposes youth donate some of their crops to community-based organizations. The new programs have improved resident behavior in both the facility and the community, says Neal, adding, “One of the unexpected benefits is we find youth want to participate in programs like GROW—working on the farm, for example—rather than engage in delinquent behavior.” There is reward, too, in momentary pleasures. “It gives me joy to watch the kids pick a vegetable right off the plant and eat it,” says Till. •

OUR HOUSE H OW TO R E F R E S H YO U R H O M E L I K E A B O S S
THE SEASON FOR SPRING CLEANING seems to have arrived in record time this year. It’s the time when we are all a bit more inspired to refresh our lives in every possible facet, particularly where our humble abodes are concerned. Perhaps it’s the impending summer – often the busiest period for selling a home – that has us oh, so inspired. Whether you are looking for some refreshing upgrades to give your home the upper hand in a competitive selling market or you are looking for some sweet modifications to enjoy with your loved ones in your forever home, we have a few suggestions to help get the ball rolling. CURB APPEAL The first thing anyone notices when approaching a home is what is commonly referred to as “curb appeal.” It includes any details that can be noticed from the front of the house, townhouse, duplex or apartment and it’s a crucial point of engagement for potential buyers and visitors alike.
• Give your home’s exterior a fresh coat of paint – and don’t forget the trim. Neutral colors are best here. No one wants to contend with purple trim on a home – including neighbors or potential buyers.
• Consider painting your front door if it looks aged. Spray-paint the metal fixtures with a matte black paint for a look that is generally more well-received than shiny gold or silver embellishments.
• Be sure all siding is in place and the garage door is level. These tiny details make a huge difference.
• Make sure your lawn and garden beds are well-manicured. The weed whacker and edger are your friends.
• Upgrade the street address numbers on your home. Make sure they are visible from the street.

ORGANIZATION Less is definitely more when trying to woo potential buyers. If you need to, consider renting a storage unit to make sure that your garage isn’t stuffed to the gills. Buyers need to see what they are working with in there, too. • De-clutter the house. Get rid of any unnecessary items, including storage boxes and furniture items that leave a room feeling too crowded. Aside from giving yourself and potential buyers some mental space (and getting some packing done early for your impending move), your home will actually appear larger with less stuff – and more space is a huge selling point in today’s market. • Remove as many personal items from the home as possible when trying to sell your home. Box up family photos, personalized artwork, mail, shoes that linger near the door, or anything else that doesn’t leave the home looking like a nearly blank canvas for the buyer to create with. The more the buyer can envision their own stuff in your space, the more likely they are to connect with it. • Stage your furniture in ways that best showcase the room, keeping in mind where big items like flat-screened televisions and stereo systems fit best with regard to outlets and wiring. • Bid Fido adieu while potential buyers are taking the grand tour. An allergy-prone buyer may head for the hills at the first sign of a tuft of dog or cat hair in the corner. Have four-legged family members stay with a loved one. Clear away the litter box and food and water dishes.
BIG BANGS FOR YOUR BUCK There are a few low-cost, high-impact things you can do to make your home more appealing. A little bit of vision and elbow grease goes a long way. • Clean, neutrally painted walls without wallpaper are a huge selling point. Sure, you may love the idea of covering your walls in every color of the rainbow, but buyers may not be so keen on having to paint the whole house back to a more neutral palate before Moving Day. Keep the color consistent throughout the house. Bonus: Lightcolored walls can make a room appear larger.
• It’s a given that hardwood floors are one of the most desirable features when buying (or living in) a home. If you have them in your home, you are already winning. Just make sure they are free from scratches and scuffs and are freshly swept, waxed and buffed. • Tile flooring is another desirable option. Be sure the grout is cleaned to perfection and that any cracked or broken tiles are replaced before a potential buyer visits. • No hardwood or tile floors? No problem. A nice wood laminate is a good option for less financial output. Just be sure there are no spaces in between the slats. It’ll instantly cheapen the look if it’s not done properly. • Got carpet and can’t afford to replace it with wood flooring or laminate? It’s not a deal breaker. Have it professionally cleaned to perfection. If you have major stains that don’t come out with cleaning, you may need to bite the bullet and consider replacing it with new carpet or another flooring option. • Shed some light on things with a few new lighting fixtures where they count most – over a dining table, in the kitchen or over the vanity. A word to the wise: do not show buyers anything you don’t plan to leave in place once the sale is complete. Your great grandmother’s chandelier may look fabulous over the vanity, but it could be a turnoff to a potential buyer if you pulled the plug on it and took it with you. 4 continued on page 62

• Fresh, matching kitchen appliances and coordinating fixtures in a bathroom are a nice way to catch a potential buyer’s eye. If you are not planning to include the appliances or fixtures, make it clear to the potential buyer up front. • Freshly painted cabinetry is a highly effective way to refresh the look of a kitchen or bathroom without having to install new ones. Neutrality where color is concerned is key. Upgrade knobs and hinges to create uniformity and cohesiveness. • Install new faucets whenever possible. It’s a relatively inexpensive way to change the look of the kitchen or bathroom without a complete overhaul. Be sure they coordinate with the hardware on the cabinetry or any appliances. • Caulk the sinks. It’s incredible what a difference this can make in giving a kitchen or bathroom a new lease on life. • Scrub any grout on counters and backsplashes to ensure all dirt and food remnants haven’t left a trace.
EFFICIENCY In the day and age where energy costs alone could usurp a large part of a monthly family budget, making sure your home meets the highest efficiency standards is a huge benefit to you or a potential buyer. • Dual-paned windows keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Invest in the replacement of any single-paned windows. It’ll be worth it whether you stay in your home or sell it. • Consider replacing any appliances that are not energy efficient. Dishwashers, washers, dryers and water heaters are some of the biggest culprits where energy usage is concerned. • Clean all air ducts and replace vents to create the most effective usage of the home’s heating and air conditioning systems. This is also the best way to prevent allergens from making their way into the ventilation system. NECESSARY REPAIRS Eliminate the need for a potential buyer to worry about impending repairs by doing a preemptive strike in those areas of high concern. Nothing kills a buyer’s interest quicker than the thought of having to make repairs as soon as escrow closes. • Make sure the roof is in good shape. It’s the very first place inspectors look for potential damage. A damaged roof is likely to be a huge deterrent for a potential buyer. At the very least, a roof that isn’t up to snuff may encourage a potential buyer to lowball an offer with the knowledge that a major repair is soon to follow. • Clean, paint and align the gutters on your home. This is another area of concern for potential buyers because improper drainage can lead to water damage and mold in or around a home. • Be sure the chimney is properly cleaned and vented, if your home has one. Soot is messy and poor ventilation could create a fire hazard. • Have a professional check all of the plumbing in the home before putting it on the market. It’s the best way to make sure it’s fair to the potential buyer and protect yourself from any liability at the same time. •

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:

in your neighborhood LIVING THE LIFE IN ENTERPRISE
award-winning schools, with terrific educators and incredible kids. Enterprise High is the anchor, and on Friday nights in the fall, I can hear the roar from the football game two miles away. My three children have graduated from this great school. We have unique restaurants, and quirky eateries with fun history. Rita’s Kitchen was once In Dog Nito, originally bankrolled by actor Jack Nicholson. And long before Starbucks and Dutch Bros came to town, there was Judy’s Espresso, the very first specialty coffee stand in Redding. It is now the Greek Shack. There are a number of wonderful ethnic restaurants and all within a mile or so from one another Mexican, Thai, Mongolian, Chinese and Vietnamese. We have a new fusion restaurant, too. People who live on the Westside are always amazed by our food choices. And one of the coolest things about our side of town is that you never have to leave its boundaries. It is all inclusive and self-sustaining. I think the only thing we might be lacking is our own hospital. But if you venture from the boundaries, you can experience cattle and horses grazing on prime agricultural land just a few minutes away. You would never know that there is a busy, active community up the road. That’s our neighborhood. It’s home and we love living here. We’re happening. We’re Enterprise. •
REMEMBER WHEN you were a kid and your neighborhood was your number one frame of reference? You were a lot smaller your life was smaller, too - but the neighborhood just seemed so big. It was your world, your stomping grounds, the place you where you hung out and your home turf. You owned it, and in many ways, it owned you. We have lived in our neighborhood for 29 years. Redding has 42 designated neighborhoods, like Mary Lake, Stanford Hills, Sunset Terrace and Boulder Creek. Mine is the place known as Enterprise (and sometimes called the oh-oh-two, a reference to the last three numerals in the ZIP code). It’s in southeast Redding. I see it stretching from Mistletoe Avenue south to Churn Creek Bottom, and from Bechelli Lane east to perhaps Airport Road. At least, that’s my vision. Enterprise was not always part of Redding. It was annexed in the 1970s after its residents voted for its inclusion so they could enjoy the less-expensive utility rates the city of Redding provided. To this day, it retains an individual, almost ruggedly independent identity that keeps a good number of residents rooted and loyal to the businesses, schools, parks and the people who live there. Enterprise has everything you need: Beautiful parks like Clover Creek Preserve and Enterprise Community Park, featuring a soonto-be-all-new Kids Kingdom, and the Enterprise Community Garden on the banks of Churn Creek. In fact, Churn Creek is one our more prominent geographical identifiers you can cross it several times as you travel through our neighborhood. Disc golf ? Walking trails? Walking neighborhoods? Enterprise has all of that and more. We have wonderful,

T H E M A N Y WAY S TO D O YO U R TA X E S IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL time of the year. No, not the holiday season – it’s tax season. But don’t worry, you have plenty of options when it comes to filing your federal and state taxes. Here are some questions to think about before you start:
MAX
• Am I filing my taxes on my own or with a spouse? • Am I claiming anyone on my taxes? • Do I have my W-2s and other forms necessary to complete my taxes? • What’s my budget for filing my taxes this year? • Do I want help or do I want to do my taxes on my own? • Is filing my taxes going to be complex or simple? If your taxes are going to be complex or if you just want some help doing them, a number of local places can help. National tax preparation services including H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt and Liberty Tax Service have locations in the North State. Local tax preparation services include CTS4Taxes and others.4 continued on page 68

Joe Dorko, manager of Jackson Hewitt in Redding, says any taxpayer can benefit from professional tax services. “There’s a lot of deductions and credits people miss without seeking a tax professional,” Dorko says. “There are 70,000 pages of tax code. Everybody’s unique and that’s why it’s best to ask the tax professionals so we can sit down and tailor to the specific situation. There’s a lot of credits people don’t know about, such as if you pay for child care.” Others prefer to use accounting firms, particularly if they have complex tax situations, such as owning a business or inheriting money during the prior year. “We do a wide variety of services, from families to individuals to businesses. But we have a large majority of business clients,” says Lori Stillie, firm administrator at Evanhoe, Kellogg & Company CPAs Inc. “My biggest tip would be with all the changes currently with Affordable Care Act and all the changes with IRS laws, it’s imperative that people get help from a good tax professional.”
68
www.EnjoyMagazine.net APRIL 2017
Stillie says, “Good documentation and keeping track of all your backup paperwork is really essential and making sure that if you do work for someone, that you are withholding the correct amount.” If your taxes aren’t complicated, you may opt to do them yourself. Numerous online programs are available, and some are free, if your taxes are simple enough. And if you find yourself wishing you would have gotten started earlier, consider getting a jump start next year. Many tax preparation services are open year-round so “you can always come in and ask a tax professional and they can help you come up with a tax plan strategy,” Dorko says. Tax Day is April 18. •

HISTORY
| STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
Memory Lane H I S TO R I A N J E R E M Y T U G G L E ’ S FA M I LY L E G A C Y I N S H A S TA CO U N T Y
HARD AT WORK, a Shasta Historical Society staff member searches quickly through the years. He pulls out a drawer containing letters from Shasta County’s long ago. He forages through its contents with hands gloved to protect delicate, hand-written historical documents. And during this research, historian Jeremy Tuggle is mindful he is searching through his own history. “I’m working on an article on early express companies,” he explains as he turns to a microfilm reader, its screen showing a page from the Shasta Courier (1852-1872). The article will publish as one of his weekly blog entries for the Redding Record Searchlight. The page he has up is from 1854. He snaps a picture of it with his phone. At this moment, Tuggle is aiming a 21st century digital device at a 20th century film reader to capture details of a story written in the 19th century. At this moment, he looks back to the early days of Shasta County, back to the time his great-great-great-great-great grandfather hauled goods with horse and carriage back and forth between Sacramento and the town now known as Old Shasta. His family has populated the region ever since. And it’s a big family, with local roots sunk in eight generations deep. “I come from 11 Shasta County pioneer families recognized by the Shasta Historical Society,” Tuggle announces proudly. All of these ancestors arrived in the
Shasta County area in the mid- to late 1800s. The first was Walter William Scott, who came from the east coast in search of gold in the Sacramento area, but found little. He was hired by Callaghan Block, and hauled food and mining supplies to Shasta in 1849, about the time of the birth of Shasta County. Scott purchased land on North Cow Creek, near Bella Vista, but Tuggle says, “He and his wife, Elizabeth, always considered the Sacramento area their home.” Meanwhile, Joseph Gray, finished with his service in the Mexican War, headed north. “Family lore says he walked from Mexico City to San Gabriel,” says Tuggle. From there, his great-great-great-great grandfather drifted further upstate, arriving in the Sacramento region in 1849. He settled in Yolo County, where he met Scott’s daughter, Annie. They married in 1872, the year a railroad town site in Shasta County was named Redding. Eventually, the Grays left Yolo and moved in with Scott at the homestead on Cow Creek. They raised 12 children, and the family grew quickly from there. Six generations later, Tuggle says, “Our family is so big, we lose track of who’s who in the family. I’m related to half of Shasta County, pretty much.”4 continued on page 72
APRIL 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
71
To track what family he could, Tuggle wrote two books that simultaneously explore histories of his ancestry and of Shasta County, “Rooted in Shasta County” and “A Journey Through Time, Ono and the Bald Hills.” In the latter, Tuggle adds a new story to the tales told to explain the origin of the name of the town Ono. The town was called Eagle Creek, but when the townsfolk wanted a post office, they found that name was already taken. Unable to decide on a new name among themselves, they took the matter to the town’s Baptist minister, Tuggle’s 1883 ancestor William Samuel Kidder. “He was one of the most respected citizens,” Tuggle notes from his book. “He went to the Bible, Nehemiah 6:2, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. And they accepted it. My great-great-great grandfather named the town.” Tuggle can find his ancestral names Kidder, Meyer and Tuggle labeling land plotted on an 1864 map of Shasta County. He can visit a vacant lot in Old Shasta where once stood the Callaghan Block building, the one his great-great-greatgreat-great grandfather Scott delivered to in the town’s gold mining heyday. Today, Tuggle lives next door to the Kidder-Tuggle house, a Redding historical landmark, with wife of 10 years, Leah, and his great-grandmother, Doris Doll Davis. “My mother was Annie Erva Meyer,” says 95-year-old Davis, referring to a portrait hanging above her. Completing the chain, Tuggle says Meyer was the daughter of Grace, the 12th child from the Gray family of North Cow Creek. Tuggle says that all generations of this line were born in Redding, from Annie to Doris to grandmother Nancy (deceased) to his mother Cindy to himself. Finally, there’s a new branch on the family tree, a ninth Shasta generation, represented in this household by son Carson Kidder Tuggle. Carson, age 7, doesn’t seem that excited by his many and deep roots in his homeland, but he does have an idea where he wants to take the family next. “I want to be a teacher,” he says. “I want to teach science and math.” It’s easy to imagine this boy picking up an interest in history. •

GOOD SKIN
BEAUTY TRENDS
| BY MELISSA GULDEN
C U S TO M I Z E YO U R CARE ROUTINE IN A WORLD WITH trackers and apps to propel you toward your fitness goals, it’s no wonder skincare is moving in a customized direction, too. Just-for-you skincare is on the rise, and that means you can assemble your own dreamteam roster of products to meet your complexion’s needs. Not unlike vitamin supplements, if you find your skin lacking in a certain area – say, Vitamin C – you can add specific products to help just with that. The new Clarins Boosters ($39, Sephora) are the beauty equivalent of juicebar shots, with formulas to revive radiance and refresh dull skin. However, sometimes we are unable to diagnose our own skin’s needs, and that is where a professional comes in. Talk to your dermatologist about your concerns – pore size may feel like your biggest problem, but a dermatologist may find it irrelevant compared to dullness, fine lines or a myriad of other issues. There’s always a risk of cocktailing ingredients that might not play well with others, so be sure to do your research when assembling that squad.

Always read labels and ask your dermatologist if you have any questions about particular ingredients. And for you especially active types, here is something else to be aware of – an active lifestyle can put your skin through a workout, too. To avoid sacrificing your skin for that sweat session, try this routine, morning, noon and night. First thing: Hydrate and defend. A hyaluronic acid serum like Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Corrective Serum, $80, locks in moisture. Add a cream with SPF and antioxidants, such as Estée Lauder DayWear, $52, to help defend your skin against environmental stressors. After a workout, calm and protect skin. By midday, your morning sunscreen has worn off; if you work out around noon, re-up on SPF and bring down post-sweat redness with a soothing cream. By late afternoon, add antioxidants. Your morning cream will eventually break down when exposed to sunlight, so it’s time to replenish your reserves.

Try a concentrated mist, such as Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist, $42, which also tones and reduces dryness. I also like Clinique Clarifying Lotion to refresh and tone ($14.50). And finally, before bed, renew. At night, your skin benefits the most from retinol, along with peptides and yes, even more antioxidants. Try layering a treatment such as Philosophy Help Me Retinol Night Treatment, $49, under your night cream. You can solve one skin issue and then another crops up. Creating a custom formula allows you to be in control of your skin at all times. Don’t let your Fitbit or apps have all the control – individualized skincare is the way to go. • Melissa Gulden is a teacher and sports and fitness enthusiast with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

GOOD TIMES
| BY JON LEWIS
HEALTHY 11TH ANNUAL WHOLE EARTH A N D WAT E R S H E D F E S T I VA L HEALTHY LIVING CAN LEAD to a healthier planet, and a healthy community is conducive to healthier living. There’s a connection between the three, and it’s the guiding force for organizers of the 11th annual Whole Earth and Watershed Festival that takes place on Earth Day at Redding City Hall. “From the outset, we wanted this to be a big tent,” says Peggy Rebol of First United Methodist Church, one of the festival sponsors. “For the last couple of years, we’ve really honed in on those three elements—healthy living, healthy communities and a healthy planet—and how interconnected we are with what happens in our environment. We don’t want to put the environment in a box somewhere; we want to show how we interact with the environment and how we need to interact with it.” For the first time in its 11-year history, the festival actually falls on Earth Day (Saturday, April 22) and organizers plan to tap into the energy from that fortuitous synchronization. The festival, which attracted an estimated 5,000 people last year, will feature more than 130 exhibitors stationed around City Hall and the adjoining Sculpture Park. Among the represented will be agencies, educational organizations, artists, nonprofits and businesses. The idea, Rebol says, is to bring people, organizations and diverse perspectives together for dialogue and action that can help shift the North State toward a sustainable future—and have some fun along the way. Attendees can pick up a passport and go on a Whole Earth Walkabout, checking out booths in six areas— Grassland & Savannah, Mountain & Forest, Desert & Tundra, Ocean & Sea, Watershed & River and Rainforest & Jungle—and become eligible for prizes awarded throughout the day. Early arrivers looking for some exercise can participate in the Whole Earth Hustle, a 5-kilometer run/walk that takes participants along the new Henderson Open Space trails. The 9:30 am event benefits Friends of the Redding Trails and Trails and Bikeways Council of Greater Redding.4 continued on page 80

Children’s Zone. The Children’s Zone is sponsored by First 5 Shasta and is part of the Week of the Young Child. Slightly older kids can enter the STEAM tent (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) and investigate some “tapigami” (creating objects with tape), build birdhouses, check out a virtual reality station and join a take-a-party and, well, take things apart. Older kids and adults can stop by the Whole Earth Innovation Tent and enjoy a full day of short, practical talks on earth-friendly topics like urban tree projects, emission-free transportation, backyard beekeeping, rain barrel collection, composting and more. “People have started to do more connecting to what happens in the environment and their health,” Rebol says. “What seeps into our water, our ground, what we eat… all those things affect us. The secondary thing is an opportunity to showcase people doing really great work, the new

Runners and walkers can refuel at the variety of food vendors at the festival. In keeping with the day’s theme, water fountains will be available to fill reusable water bottles and volunteers with Shasta Living Streets will again be behind the taps at a beer garden in the fountain bar, serving locally brewed craft beers and Italian sodas. The fountain bar will be located, appropriately enough, next to the fountain. The fountain, though, will be decommissioned for the day to accommodate the stage for what Rebol calls “a music festival within the festival.” Miracle Mile Records, a Redding-based record label and artists’ collective, again will handle the musical entertainment on the fountain stage. This year, thanks to steady growth with both the label and the Whole Earth festival, there are enough resources to bring in a fullfledged headline act: The Brothers Comatose.
“We’re very excited about that,” says Jonathan Foster, the Miracle Mile Records founder. “I believe it’s the first time they’ve played in the area. They’re a San Francisco band and kind of a fun success story. They have done really well for themselves touring across the country. They have a cult following and they put on a high-energy show.” The Brothers Comatose will cap off the daylong lineup of live music that features local favorites like the Buckhorn Mountain Stompers, Jim Dyar, Brendon Alvord, Honeybee, the Nick Ciampi Band, Merit Parcel and Mark Perko. “This one truly is for all ages. We’re hoping there will be more dancing for kids of all ages. We’re just crossing our fingers for a sunny day,” Foster says. The Community Stage, located in the Sculpture Park, will feature student groups from the Redding School of the Arts and other schools as well as solo and duo acts. “People will have some really high-quality music to listen to,” Rebol says. Activities available at the festival promise to compete with the music. For youngsters, eight separate hands-on activities, ranging from bees and ants to bubbles and habitats, will be featured in the Whole Earth 80

entrepreneurs. They all kind of come together. “The festival is a place to look around and go, ‘Wow, our North Sstate region has so much to offer,’ and that is something to celebrate. That’s another aspect of why we want to make sure this happens every year.”• Whole Earth and Watershed Festival • Redding City Hall 777 Cypress Ave. • Saturday, April 22, 11 am to 5 pm Go green: RABA will offer free rides on all fixed routes (Routes 2E, 11 and 14 go directly to City Hall) and a free shuttle from the Downtown Transit Center; the Shasta Wheelmen will staff a free guarded bike corral during the festival The Shasta Growers’ Farmers Market on the south side of City Hall will be open from 7:30 am to 1 pm www.wholeearthandwatershedfestival.org

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add the garlic and half of the green onions. Stir and cook for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring, 4 minutes. Stir in the water, the orzo, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the beans. Cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is tender, about 15 minutes.
STEP 2: Add the bell pepper and continue cooking, covered, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the capers, tuna, peas and lemon juice and toss until well distributed. Lastly, top with the remaining green onions and a grating of Parmesan cheese.

J U N I O R L E A D E R S H I P D E V E LO P M E N T P R O G R A M I N B U T T E CO U N T Y AFTER MONTHS at making small steps of connection with a quiet, withdrawn young man in his mentoring program, Jacob Peterson got to see the youth take strides that many hadn’t thought possible. “One of the coolest experiences of my life was getting to go to his graduation. I got to be there front and center watching him walk across the stage to get his diploma,” says Peterson, 30, executive director of Junior Leadership Development Program in Butte County. “I got the feeling that the whole time he was just waiting for someone to watch him walk across the stage.” Over the course of their early days in the mentoring relationship, Peterson learned that the third-year senior was homeless, alone and staying under a bridge at night. He wasn’t meeting expectations academically, and yet Peterson says, “I ended up being so inspired that he would even show up.” It was experiences like this, and many others, that took Peterson from his Project Management in Business program at Chico State University to the world of nonprofits and youth/community development.
“Probably about halfway through my college career I still didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I did know I wanted to help other people,” he says. When the time came to do a capstone project for his business degree, he put together a youth development project working with young people at Table Mountain School at the juvenile detention center in Oroville. He’ll admit he didn’t quite know what he was doing at the time, but he enjoyed putting together outings for the youth and serving as a role model. A year into it, he expanded his volunteer work to Fairview High School, an alternative education program, and began recruiting others to mentor students. He was working full time as a cook at In-NOut Burger and volunteering on the weekends with probation youth. He’d signed up to mentor through the now-defunct Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Chico. “From there, I made the decision that this is what I really want to do,” he says. “It’s such a gift being part of these kids’ lives, who maybe were feeling a bit lost, at such a critical juncture in their lives.”4 continued on page 94

Founding Junior Leadership Development Program as a 501(c)3 nonprofit was his effort to return a formalized mentoring program to Butte County. He hopes to expand services through the North State. His desire to make a difference through mentoring came from the realization that the trajectory of his own life was directed by a mentor. “The journey really started when I was about 5 years old,” he says, relating how his two oldest siblings moved out, his parents separated, and his mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer. “It drastically changed our family structure and family dynamics. I always felt I didn’t have anyone to look up to.” Thankfully, a member of his church stepped in as support. “I always tell people I was one of the lucky ones. I had someone who came around to help. He was the ultimate mentor. He was the first person who introduced me to the idea of college,” he says. Junior Leadership Development Program has a college promotion component, incorporating information on the hows and whys of higher education with the mentoring. Part of this was inspired by his own success in college through the help of his mentor, as well as a comment a young woman in juvenile hall made to him. Everyone tells us to change, she said. No one shows us how. “If you don’t have anyone showing you the way,” says Peterson, “how will you know?” While promoting mentoring, Peterson also works full time as the development director for United Way of Northern California. As he reflects on what he’s been able to accomplish, he holds a special level of gratitude for the man that stepped into his life when it all seemed to be falling apart. “He held me to expectations that I didn’t hold myself to, but I wanted to live up to.”• Junior Leadership Development Program www.jldp.info Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff. A graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.
