I was born in Uganda, Africa where I lived until the age of 16 before coming to America. My father abandoned me at birth while my mom left me when I was two years old. I have been sold before, I have lived on the street, I have slept in churches, I have lived in a children’s orphanage, I have been adopted and un-adopted, I have been in a mental hospital, and I didn’t attend school until 9th grade. Today I’m on Shasta College’s Dean’s List and will be graduating in May and transferring in the fall semester. When I first arrived in America I was all alone and I couldn’t speak that much English. In the beginning, I was scared and I didn’t know how to begin a life on my own, in a new place. My TRiO Counselor Jeanette made this transition easy. I felt supported and motived knowing I could count on her to help me succeed. My decision to further my education has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. For a long time, I didn’t feel people believed in me–but I believed in myself. My educational goal is to obtain a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Communications. With this knowledge, I will be able to speak out for those who can’t speak out for themselves. Edith Mpumwire Shasta College Knight, 2017

Summer is here – it’s time to get out and explore the wonders of the world around us! The Sacramento River is home to world-class fly fishing, and with Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s the ideal time to grab a couple of fly rods and take Dad out for some one-on-one time. Even if the trout don’t bite (and they will), you’ll have plenty of time to craft some fantastic fish stories. If you’re looking to stretch your comfort zone, perhaps the motocross/dirt bike riding scene is for you. Members of several North State groups are ready to welcome you into their fold – but beware, they say that once you get started, it’s hard to stop. We always encourage folks to buy local, and that sentiment can also be extended to dining experiences. In this issue, we’ll introduce you to Jim Boisselle and the delightful wines he’s ROZLYN pouring downtown at The Grape Escape, as well as Fred Photo by and Annette Magee, the proprietors of Shorty’s Eatery in Jeannine Hendrickson Old Shasta. Then meet Jasvir “Jessie” Kaur, who is cooling customers off one scoop at a time at J’s Ice Cream. We’ll also tell you about some of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest’s most unique workers – the mules whose packer leads them through the wilderness with about 150 pounds of equipment on their backs. The animals bring food and supplies to trial crews, firefighters and others working in the forest. And finally, it’s time to raise the curtain on yet another season of Enjoy Movies in the Park. This free activity welcomes families and friends to enjoy a night out under the stars. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs or picnic baskets – we’ll also have onsite food vendors. Movies start at dusk and June’s movies are Friday nights in Caldwell Park. Learn more at enjoymoviesintheparkredding.com. Enjoy the long, luxurious days of summer!

BEGINNING ON THE SECOND SATURDAY in June, professionals and amateurs alike will stand atop a bluff adjacent to the Sacramento River and take in one of the greatest views golf has to offer in the North State. It’ll be the first round of the 45th annual Redding Pro-Am, and golfers on the first tee at Riverview Golf and Country Club will start play by staring down the 592-yard, par-5 first hole. Among the options: hook the ball left, where it very well may end up in the river and out of bounds; slice it to the right and it’ll be in jail with tall trees standing guard. For those averse to adventure, hitting it long and straight is also a possibility.
“I heard of a golfer who played in the Pro-Am who hit five balls in a row into the river to start his tournament,” says Bill DeWildt, Riverview’s golf professional. “It might have been seven, but we’ll just leave it at five,” he adds, shuddering at the thought. When he’s introducing guests and new members to the course, DeWildt says he encourages them to aim right. “Why get stuck in that big ol’ pond?” he asks. “New golfers are kind of nervous anyway if they think anybody is watching, so I tell them to miss it right. Don’t try and hit the nicest shot of your life and hit it into the river.” Putting aside the prospective hazards, Riverview’s first tee does provide a sweeping panorama that seems to encompass all that the region has to offer: blue skies, the shimmering river, mature oaks, cedars and cottonwoods, the lush fairway and, on the western horizon, Bully Choop, South Fork and Shasta Bally mountains.4 continued on page 14

“I’ve never heard anything but positive things,” DeWildt says of the first-timers who play the course. “Not only do they say it’s the best view in Redding, they say it’s the best hole they have ever seen.” That view didn’t escape the notice of Henry and Irene Rother, the avid golfers who transformed the Graf Ranch – which consisted primarily of rocks, scrub oaks and pines – into a nine-hole golf course in 1946. After admiring the view from the top of the hill, Irene Rother named their course Riverview. Henry Rother put the land up for sale the following year and the 28 members of the Redding Golf and Country Club, who had been making do on a rustic course where Lawncrest Cemetery is now located, negotiated the purchase of the course and it opened for play to members on May 10, 1947. Ten years later, the course’s growing membership agreed to an expansion project to remake Riverview into a traditional 18-hole layout that opened for play in the fall of 1958. A decade later, the four tennis courts were added. A new pro shop appeared in 1971. The current clubhouse and pro shop were built in 1991. Riverview underwent an extensive $1.4 million remodel in 2001 that included the rebuilding of all 18 greens, the addition of 40 bunkers and a state-of-the-art irrigation system that linked each green with a weather station and the course superintendent’s office. The Redding Pro-Am dates back to 1972 and in its early years, when the event supported Jerry Lewis’s Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon, the event was a lively affair that attracted professional athletes and other celebrities. “It was a pretty good event but it got out of hand as far as netting any profit for the charity,” recalls Dennis Ellis, chairman of the ProAm. “It was wild,” agrees Curtis Byron, sponsor chairman for the tournament. “It was the old clubhouse and there was a Calcutta party the night before the tournament. We always had celebrities come up. It was a big, big deal back in the day.” Notable participants included Oakland Raiders players Ben Davidson, Art Shell, Fred Biletnikoff and Daryle Lamonica, along with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Skip Vanderbundt. The fun didn’t end, but the focus shifted in 1983 when Riverview’s board members
elected to keep their charitable contributions local and settled on Special Olympics Shasta County as the beneficiary. “It’s been 30-plus years and still going strong,” Byron says. Last year’s Pro-Am generated $15,000 for Special Olympics and the year-to-date total is approaching $450,000. Denise Caldwell, area director for Special Olympics, says the Pro-Am “is everything to Special Olympics. They are our primary sponsor and they are what makes our world spin. Their support allows us to provide year-round sports practice and competition in eight sports, all at no cost to the athlete.” The annual contribution helps the organization train and provide competition for some 400 athletes with intellectual disabilities. Lloyd Hayden, a Riverview member since 1983, says he enjoys the competition and community spirit of the annual tournament, and he also enjoys the daily camaraderie and fellowship with other members. One of Hayden’s favorites is the Marching and Chowder Society, a monthly gathering of golfers that started in the ’50s as a foursome and now numbers around 70 players who draw cards to form teams and then enjoy a steak dinner after the golf is finished. Randy Jensen, Riverview’s general manager, also enjoys interacting with the country club’s 570 members, and helping preserve cherished traditions like the monthly “chowder,” but says he also has accepted the challenge of making Riverview attractive for the next generation of members “and bridging that gap.” New membership options, a slightly shortened course to speed up play and a marketing campaign have already enticed a half-dozen younger golfers to join, Jensen says, and the future for the granddaddy of North State golf courses is looking pretty green. • Riverview Golf & Country Club • 4200 Bechelli Lane (530) 224-2255 • www.riverviewgolf.net The Redding Pro-Am is June 9-12; visit www.reddingproam.com for details

IN TUNE WITH BRAD DEFOUR AND BANDMASTER RUCKUS BRAD DUFOUR OF of BandMaster Ruckus, an alternative blues-rock trio comprised of Red Bluff natives, has enjoyed touring with his band from Auburn to Oregon, but notes that there’s something special about the hometown shows. “There’s a wide range of people,” he says, “from college students to adults.” In other words, it’s not only their peers showing up, but their parents. That’s because the musical talent developed in these young musicians from an early age, and they’ve been jamming together since childhood. Founding members DuFour, 23, drummer Tyler Hansen, 23, and guitar player Seth Burns, 24, have known each other since kindergarten, when their parents, all friends, would get the kids together. Nolan Brownfield, on guitar and bass, also 23, has recently stepped into the band and has also been a longtime friend.
“The three of us have always played music together,” says DuFour. “We started the band when we all went off to college. I went to Chico State and we all just started jamming.” That was back in 2013, and the band has steadily gained a following, playing frequently at The Maltese, Argus Bar and 1078 Gallery in Chico and Tips, Downtown Alehouse and Round Up Saloon in Red Bluff. The high energy shows pack the venues with crowds eager to hear songs like “Mars Mission Awesomeness,” a break out from the first album, and the defiant, rebellious and cathartic “I Don’t Give a Care.” Videos to these songs and many more are available on YouTube, and digital downloads of songs and albums can be purchased on4 continued on page 18

their website. CDs and band swag such as T-shirts and hats are available at Enjoy the Store Red Bluff, where the band has also played on occasion. They’ve released two albums, one eponymous and the other called “99,” as well as an extended play album with band Shotgun Sawyer titled “8 Bangers,” which came out in late April. “All of our music is our own,” says DuFour. “We do a handful of covers but the majority of our music is our own.” DuFour is the lyricist and all members collaborate with music. “I pull a lot of influence and material from real life,” he says. In 2015, the band joined Snafu Family, a collective of musicians from San Jose to Reno who record, tour and promote together. “Finding and joining this label has kept us gung-ho,” says DuFour, noting that it’s not only a place to record, but a support system of other musicians. “These connections with other friends/bands has helped us book tours and spread our music and ourselves further.” While BandMaster Ruckus keeps gaining in popularity, it’s by no means the only gig the musicians have going. DuFour is an art major at Chico State focusing on sculpture who comes home on weekends to work construction with his dad, Earl DuFour, a contractor and musical influence. Hansen, Burns and Brownfield all also work in Red Bluff. “We call him Earl Jam,” says Brad, of his father and boss at the construction sites. “He’s got his own song track on the first album, so that’s his influence.” Earl Jam also had a role in naming the band, if inadvertently. It was his vintage Fender BandMaster amplifier that the young musicians found in his garage and started playing with. “We pulled our name from there and added Ruckus to it,” says DuFour, the Ruckus being a nod to the heavy rock-and-roll sound influenced by the White Stripes, Black Keys, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Leon Burgess. “It’s kind of crazy right now,” says DuFour, “being a student and also being in a band and trying to work.” The band is planning a tour in August and he adds, “It’s mainly about fun, and not trying to be famous. But it’s nice to get our work out there.” While he says he keeps his focus on sculpture while at school, declining the opportunity to study music, the sound remains his greatest passion. “I’ve always had this vision of finishing school and pursuing music further,” he says. Judging from crowd sizes, North State audiences are ready for more. • www.bandmasterruckus.bandcamp.com Find them on Facebook

Staying Afloat L A S S E N F L O AT I N G F L O O Z I E S A FULL MOON RISES, and the Lassen Floating Floozies have the best seat in the house. Women of all stripes, they’re perched in their kayaks on Whiskeytown Lake, wearing tiaras and carrying glow sticks. Sometimes, the only sounds are crickets and the gentle splash of a paddle breaking the surface of the lake. Other times, infectious laughter echoes through the cove, like the soundtrack of sisterhood.
The Lassen Floating Floozies are dedicated to casual paddling, mostly of local lakes. Lest you think they exclude men, “My brother is allowed to come because he loads and unloads the kayaks for us old ladies,” explains the Floozies’ Cris Hillman. Headquartered in Shingletown, most of the floozies are in their 60s, with Hillman being the kid of the bunch at4 continued on page 22

age 45. The elderfloozie is 76. About 25 women attend floats regularly. Their typical haunts are Whiskeytown, Lassen Park and Lake Britton. Some have vintage trailers, which they enjoy bringing along on their treks so they can camp. “We’re pretty laid back and don’t plan too far in advance, for sure,” Hillman says. “People come if they have time, and they don’t if they don’t.” Each time they get together, Hillman provides pink goodie bags containing fun items like bubbles, gum, candy, tiaras, glow sticks, noisemakers and the like. “We always have toys to play with, which is way cool. We always have a great time.” Why is it fun to paddle with friends? “They bring wine,” Hillman deadpans. “We’re silly and we giggle.” The group’s favorite spot seems to be Whiskeytown – specifically Brandy Creek. “The moonlight paddles are my favorite,” says Hillman. “It’s kind of intimate – it’s just us. We just cruise and we’re really slow. We check out the crawdads and the other boats and the other people. We’re like looky-lous. Some of us get out and swim.” Hillman bought her first kayak in 2013, and “it just goes downhill from there,” she says. “Then you want a bigger one, and a nicer one.”

The beauty of the sport is its inclusivity. “It’s quiet and anybody can do it,” she says. “It’s mellow. It’s outdoors. It doesn’t require major equipment – you can take kayaks anywhere. And you can go up little tiny creeks – we went on Cow Creek from Palo Cedro to Hawes.” But one must beware the hazards of kayaking – “when you do hard-core paddling, you spill your wine,” she warns with an easy laugh. The power of sisterhood runs strong with the Floozies. “We give each other so much therapy,” Hillman says. “We’re all in different stages of life, from pre-menopause to post-menopause.” And their children run the gamut from professionals to people who have had trouble with the law, so the women can support each other through the ongoing challenges of parenthood – whatever someone is going through, chances are good that someone else has already been there, done that and learned something worth sharing. “We hold each other up,” she says. • Find Lassen Floating Floozies on Facebook

Carry On S H A S TA -T R I N I T Y F O R E S T SERVICE'S MULE TEAM
PACKER KEN GRAVES is leading the U.S. Forest Service’s past into the future. Behind him are inquisitive Ivan, friendly Big John, aloof Heywood and other rusty-red and dark-brown mules. “They’re awesome,” Graves says of the mules. Graves, 62, has been a packer in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest for 40 years. Leading mules started as a summer job and became his life’s work. He postponed retirement so he could be part of a new effort to keep the Forest Service mule program on solid footing. Mules bring food and supplies to trail crews, firefighters and others working in the national forests. In the early 1900s, the Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region 5, which covers all national forests in California, had some 2,000 animals and more than 100 packers. By 2012, only about 100 stock and eight packers remained. Eighteen forests with stock dwindled to five, Graves notes. Modern vehicles and road development, along with budget pressures and attrition, led to the decline. Determined to keep the mules from fading into history, Region 5 established the Pack Stock Center of Excellence in 2013. The effort includes: • attracting and training new packers through an intern project • replacing stock • spreading the word on the benefits of using mules in the forests • coordinating the use of mules between forests. Graves is northern director of the Center of Excellence. He’s optimistic about the future of Forest Service mules. “It’s a really good program that supports a lot of really good parts of the Forest Service,” he says.4 continued on page 26

A mule string has five mules led by a packer on a horse or mule, or 10 mules and two packers. Each mule carries about 150 pounds of timber, tents, sand, gravel, rebar, food, fire hose, pumps or other materials and supplies. Mules typically do the heavy lifting in wilderness areas, which prohibit motorized vehicles unless there is an emergency. “Mules are good for the slow and sure. Helicopters are for if you need to be there now,” Graves says. “There’s a place for both.” Tough, surefooted and clever, mules make ideal pack animals. “Mules are very smart, that’s why we use them,” Graves says. “They are more careful with the loads and take better care of themselves than horses.” Each mule has a distinct personality. “They are just like people. Some are playful, some are serious. Some you can trust all day long and some you’d better keep your eye on,” Graves says. Not every mule is suited for every load. Graves recalls needing to pack in 16foot timbers for a project. Only a few mules were willing to shoulder the load, which extended beyond their heads and required a tricky stopping, backing and turning procedure on switchbacks. Trails can be narrow with steep drop-offs, so it’s critical for the mules to be a team. An important part of the packer’s job is deciding which mule goes where. “People see a pack string going down the trail and they don’t realize how much it takes. They think they just follow each other right down the trail. It’s more about finding the right spot, so they all work together,” Graves says. The animals sometimes get spooked. “It might be a lion, might be a bear. It could be something as goofy as a shiny gum wrapper,” Graves says. “You have to be ready.” He enjoys the work. “I like being outdoors in the mountains and working with the stock, and working with all the people who want to be in the mountains doing the projects we do.” A packer’s job is both solitary and public. Graves sometimes spends days in remote areas; other times he and the mules are at events such as Western States Horse Expo in Sacramento and Mule Days in Bishop. Packers are ambassadors for the Forest Service mule program, giving demonstrations and sharing information. In 2015, Shasta-Trinity’s mules were showcased in The Rose Parade in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. “It was very interesting,” Graves says. The mules did well but by the end of the route were amped up by the thousands of parade watchers. Mules are popular with the public. Shasta-Trinity’s Ivan has a Facebook page (Trinity Alps Mules) and a children’s book about him, “Ivan the Forest Service Pack Mule,” written by Mike McFadin. Graves says people he meets are happy to know the Forest Service still relies on mule power. Shasta-Trinity’s mules are typically on the job from April into November. In the off season, some pasture at Paynes Creek and others hang out on land owned by The McConnell Foundation in Redding. “It’s a pretty darn good life if you are a mule for the Forest Service,” Graves says. •

Aces High THE ACE AND BOLD PROGRAMS AT S H A S TA C O L L E G E
MICHELLE GAMBILL’S STORY is a familiar one. She started working while in high school and, after graduating, continued to work while beginning college. Although she tried for a while to balance both, her rapid career advancement forced her to choose – and she chose work. An area supervisor for a national restaurant chain with oversight of 200 employees, Gambill also co-owns and operates NorCal Limousine Services with her husband. “I am happy at my job, so going back to school to find a new one was not my motivation,” she says. “I wanted to return to school for personal reasons, to complete what I did not complete earlier in my life.”
Whether simply for the satisfaction of accomplishment or for the purpose of career advancement, full-time workers seeking to complete their degree sooner rather than later can now do so through Shasta College’s Associate Completion in the Evenings (ACE) program. Classes meet two evenings per week and online. On the surface, the 24-month program may not sound accelerated, says Buffy Tanner, the interim senior project coordinator for ACE; after all, it equates to the amount of time a full-time student would invest to complete a twoyear degree. Tanner explains: “The typical working adult usually takes only one or two classes per semester, which would mean degree completion in an average of four to seven years. ACE students, however, take two classes in each of two eight-week tracks, completing four courses per semester and two additional courses per summer.”4 continued on page 30

Bill Alcala also began ACE in the first cohort. When a work injury forced him into an office job, he began attending the college for an engineering program that was later eliminated. “I did not know what I was going to do,” says Alcala, who was plugging away at his general education requirements before discovering ACE last spring. “I have completed 10 classes since June and have been managing it pretty well.” Alcala is among the one third of ACE students who are 40 and over.
“My wife once asked me, ‘Do you have homework?’” he recalls. “I told her, ‘I’ll have homework until I graduate.’ I’m never not in school. When we camped last summer, I had my laptop with me and did schoolwork because I was taking two online classes.” Time management is critical, and Alcala says, “If you are going to jump into the program, you really need to think about the family and school-life balance. It may only be six hours a week in the classroom, but the outside investment of time is triple that amount.” Still, he says, life cannot be only about schoolwork: “You have to set aside a few hours on the weekend for recreation.” This month, ACE celebrates its first anniversary and will graduate its first cohort in November. Designed for students with “some college, no degree,” it currently enrolls 81 students in two associate degree pathways – business and psychology with offerings to expand. Gambill, who will graduate Shasta College with associate degrees in business and physical science, says, “I’ve enjoyed it so much, I’ll be entering Simpson’s ASPIRE Program next January for a bachelor’s degree in business administration.” Alcala is considering his next steps, perhaps an associate degree in accounting. “The program is fabulous,” he says. “Without it, people like me would be working all week and taking a night class. A two-year degree would turn into 10. This program makes it attainable.” ACE and a second program, Bachelor’s through Online and Local Degrees (BOLD), are funded by a $5 million dollar Innovation Award from the state of California that primarily recognized Shasta College for its dual enrollment programs with local high schools.
HEALTHGreenville Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States
Greenville Rancheria’s 2017 HEALTH FAIR June 16, 2017 10am – 2 pm 1425 Montgomery Rd. Red Bluff “Helping the people in our community live happy and healthy lives”
WISE Cigarette smoking is more common among American Indians/Alaska Natives than almost any other racial/ethnic group in the United States. (CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Smoking increases the chances of: • Losing members of your tribe to smoking-related illnesses • Losing elders to smoking-related diseases or exposure to second-hand smoke before they can hand down tribal customs and traditions Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causes many diseases, and reduces the health of smokers in general. Quitting smoking lowers your risk for smoking related diseases and can add years to your life. • Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths. • Smoking causes more deaths each year than the following causes combined: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Illegal drug use Alcohol use Motor vehicle injuries
Firearm-related incidents Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease), and smoking causes lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer. If nobody smoked, one of every three cancer deaths in the United States would not happen. Smoking can make it harder to get pregnant and can affect baby’s health before and after birth. Smoking can also affect men’s sperm, which can reduce, and also increase risk for birth defects and miscarriage. The risk of developing diabetes is 30-40% higher for active smokers than nonsmokers. Smoking can make it harder to control your diabetes. Quitting smoking cuts cardiovascular risks. Just 1 year after quitting smoking, your risk for a heart attack drops

The award carried some flexibility, however, that Tanner says allowed for the establishment of both ACE and BOLD. The college’s success in innovative educational programming resulted in a second award of $2 million this year. BOLD serves as a support program for students enrolled in an online bachelor’s degree through a partner school. “The student is technically a student of the chosen institution,” says Tanner, “but on the backside, we allow them to take a one-unit student development
class at Shasta, which provides them access to our facilities and programs as well as a peer support network while going through their bachelor’s degree.” Current partners include California State University, Southern Oregon University, Simpson and National universities, Columbia College in Missouri and Western Governors University. All partners must meet key criteria: regional accreditation, affordability and reputability. “The Shasta College Foundation has committed to covering tuition and campus fees for the Shasta College student development courses taken by the first 100 BOLD students,” says Tanner, noting that the fee waiver is for the one-unit Shasta College classes, not the university tuition and fees. “It’s not too late to continue your education,” says Tanner. “We will work with you to make use of as many previously completed courses as possible. We want to support you in achieving your goals.” • Shasta College • (530) 242-7714 www.shastacollege.edu/ACE • www.shastacollege.edu/BOLD

rancheria sharply. Within 2 to 5 years after quitting smoking, your risk for stroke could fall to about the same as a nonsmoker’s. If you quit smoking, your risk for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder drop by half within 5 years. Smoking is a cause of rheumatoid arthritis. Tobacco/nicotine dependence is a condition that often requires repeated treatments, but there are helpful treatments and resources for quitting. Smokers can and do quit smoking. In fact, today there are more former smokers than current smokers. People who stop smoking greatly reduce their risk for disease and early death. Although the health benefits are greater for people who stop at earlier ages, there are benefits at any age. You are never too old to quit. If you are interested in quitting smoking call your doctor or 1-800-No-Butts for free support by trained professionals.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee... --Ashley Smith FOR JARED AND KELSEY KING, life in Northern California contains beauty and mystery. When Jared’s work moved him from Siskiyou County to Red Bluff, the Kings were entering an unexpected part of their lives’ journey. His job required him to travel, taking him to places apart from his family, until together they discovered bees. As the Kings settled into their new location, they met friends at church and the discussion turned to bees. Jared wanted to explore the topic. “The discussion was a good one, an unexpected surprise,” Jared says. “At first, I didn’t give the business any credit. But then I realized God put us in a new place
and here was a new direction. This could be a career change. I could stop traveling. Here was something we could do together.” Jared helped supply a local beekeeper with wood for his hives, and his demand was so great that he realized he need a bigger trailer. In negotiating the price for a used trailer, the seller offered him a discount if he could provide him with a beehive as part of the payment. “I found out people were really into bees,” Jared says. The family started offering bee equipment. After six months, they began to buy hives. The business took off and grew fast.4 continued on page 34
JUNE 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
33
By February 2016, they jumped fully into the whole business, buying 120 hives. Where they once woke and scrambled to get up early, shuffle children to school and take off to their nine-to-five jobs, Jared and Kelsey now found time for family breakfasts. “Even though we got up early and worked a lot of hours, we had so much more time with the kids,” says Kelsey. “We wouldn’t trade off for anything else. We felt like we weren’t working, even though we worked hard.” Jefferson Bee Company serves four markets: pollination for crops, bees, hive equipment, and byproducts created from honey and wax. A typical day includes unloading empty boxes, splitting colonies and introducing queen cells to grow their stock. There are candles to make. Honey needs to be bottled, labeled and sealed. They market and test new products, and explore new recipes using honey. The translucent petals of almond trees mark the bee season for the almond industry. With more than 2 million acres of trees to pollinate, California beekeepers only have a quarter of the needed bees to do the job. The first week of February, the family drops off bees to pollinate almond orchards. They pick up the bees two months later. The Kings are looking to double their hives over the next year, then grow their business at 10 percent a year. “There is an incredible demand,” Jared says. “Two-thirds of the honey in the United States is imported. There is so much growth in our business. Our plans are to have 2,000 hives.” There is more to bees than the orchards. “Our business is hobbyist driven,” Jared says. “During the year, we focus on the smaller enthusiasts. We walk new beekeepers through everything, from
34
www.EnjoyMagazine.net JUNE 2017
inviting families over to do science projects and honey tasting. We teach them how to become beekeepers. We want them to be successful.” The Kings look to the future. Their children – Madilynn (8), Sebastian (3) and William (1) – are growing up among the bees. They are the future beekeepers. “Our mission is making people’s lives happier, healthier, more sustainable one hive at a time,” says Jared. “People want sustainable lives, instead of always going to the grocery store. So we relate with people, bringing them the joy of being new beekeepers.” The Jefferson Bee Company is growing, and the young family looks to a future with a business which matches their family. “God is a huge part of our lives. He’s set up this whole thing,” Jared says. “The way this company has come into fruition could not be explained any other way.” • www. jeffersonbeeco.com • Find them on Facebook

LIBERTY CABIN, CRAFTERS OF TINY HOUSES IN ANDERSON ARLIN MENDOZA AND DOMINIC VELAZQUEZ are big on tiny houses, and their plans for their small manufacturing business are even bigger. The Cottonwood couple operates Liberty Cabins from a shop in an Anderson industrial park, where they design and build unique structures known in the trade as tiny home RVs. It happens to be a very descriptive term: they are small homes (slightly fewer than 300 square feet of living space) that are on wheels. They can be towed down the highway and they’re right at home in a RV park. The idea of livable, moveable homes (think tepees, covered wagons and yurts) is as old as recorded human history, but Mendoza and Velazquez have rolled the concept right into the 21st century with their tiny home RVs. Soft, energy-efficient LED lighting, solid maple cabinetry and the use of computer-aided design to make the most of small spaces are some of the contemporary touches employed in the Liberty Cabins homes.

Just as important as the amenities and craftsmanship, the couple says, is the, well, liberty the tiny homes represent. “It’s all about freedom,” Velazquez says. “Your house is no longer a ball and chain.” The couple envision tiny home RVs as a type of transitional housing: a credible option for recent graduates who don’t want to commit to a conventional home mortgage, and childless couples or small families looking to downsize and simplify their lives. Although portable, tiny home RVs are intended to be more or less stationary and lived in on a full-time basis. Conventional RVs, like fifthwheel trailers and motor homes, are designed with vacationers and travelers in mind. Nonetheless, Liberty Cabins’ tiny home RVs have been inspected and certified by both the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association and Pacific West Associates, Inc., an engineering firm. Velazquez says the RVIA certification, in particular, makes it easier to insure tiny home RVs. With some simple modifications, like a composting toilet and a 4 continued on page 38

small solar energy system, tiny home RVs are even suitable for off-the-grid country lifestyles. Mendoza and Velazquez have also recently reached out to nonprofit organizations to see if their tiny home RVs can play a role in providing homes for the homeless. Liberty Cabins’ current model sells for $56,500 and, depending on credit determinations, mortgage payments usually range between $350 and $450 a month, Velazquez says. “We’re the most inexpensive tiny home company in the United States right now,” he boasts.
and a double sink. The bathroom is lined with moistureresistant western red cedar and includes a linen closet, toilet and a fiberglass shower. Solid pine pocket doors provide privacy from the bedroom and kitchen. The bedroom also features lodgepole pine siding, foldable side tables, a storage loft and a bed platform that can accommodate a full-sized mattress. More storage is available beneath the bed and a 32-inch TV is mounted on the wall. Velazquez uses local suppliers for his RV materials, including Gerlinger Steel, Weaver Lumber and Sierra
The couple started their business four years ago in Crescent City, where Velazquez also worked as a commercial fisherman and welder. Building tiny homes started more as a hobby, but as successive models showed steady improvement and interest grew, Mendoza incorporated Victory Cabins and the couple returned to Shasta County, “the epicenter of vacations with Mt. Shasta and all the lakes,” she says. Mendoza and Velazquez have filled their tiny home RV with refinements and upgrades from stem to stern with the goal of enhancing the “home” part of the equation. They settled on an A-frame design with a cathedral ceiling to create a more airy and spacious feeling in the entryway and above the bedroom. A softly carpeted loft, accessed by a sturdy maple ladder, rests above the kitchen area. “We changed the design several times to get to the perfect dimensions,” Mendoza says. The result is an RV that’s 8 1/2 feet wide, 10 feet high and 25 feet long. Interior walls are tongue-and-groove lodgepole pine for an organic feel and the flooring is a hickory laminate. The kitchen area includes a maple butcher block dinette table, a microwave, propane range and oven, an electric refrigerator
Pacific Windows. By insisting on solid wood, stainless steel screws, Tyvek housing wrap and other top-of-the-line building materials, Velazquez and Mendoza hope to establish themselves as manufacturers of secure, sturdy and long-lasting homes. “We don’t want these out there and then have them fall apart in five years,” Velazquez says. Much of the tiny home manufacturing field “is in a race to the bottom, to see who can be cheapest, but we’re staying on that fine line with quality and a low price.” The ultimate goal, the couple says, is to expand the business and create new jobs in the North State. “We want to be one of the largest tiny home RV manufacturers in the world,” Velazquez says. •

SHORT
ORDER S H O R T Y ’ S E AT E R Y I N O L D S H A S TA “THERE’S GOLD in them thar hills!” The phrase has long been associated with the quaint town of Old Shasta, which had its heyday between 1850 and 1890, during the Gold Rush. The sentiment still echoes today, where the ruins of old brick structures and still-standing edifices have a way of transporting visitors back to the days of miners, pioneers and Gold Fever. Just ask any local or out-of-towner who has had the distinct pleasure of a visit to Shorty’s Eatery, located off Highway 299 in Shasta State Historic Park, and they’ll tell you the place is worth its weight in gold. The restaurant opened two years ago, in a building that is an identical reproduction of the former Blumb’s Bakery, which operated from 1873 to 1918. Shorty’s Eatery has since restored the legacy of the longtime bakery to a shining new glory, and it’s the only restaurant in Shasta. While it is very busy during the summer, Fred and Annette Magee, the husband-and-wife team who own and operate the business, insist that it’s the locals who have been wonderfully supportive during the winter months, when lake-going crowds have dwindled for the season. This little gem offers patrons a diverse selection of paninis, deli sandwiches, a build-yourown hot dog station, and divine baked goods – all made with love by Annette. Their sandwiches feature artisan-made
sourdough from the Truckee Sourdough Company. The Scottish shortbread, made with bits of toffee, seems to be a virtual addiction for many of Shorty’s patrons. “They come in for that alone,” Annette Magee says with a laugh. The brownies and lemon bars – made with fresh squeezed lemon juice, of course – are popular, as well. “And, on the weekends, we have cake.” While the menu is a draw, many patrons visit Shorty’s to soak up a bit of history. The building, its décor and the overall vibe pay homage to the cafes of old. 1940s tunes float happily through the air of the eatery, something that Magee says adds to its distinct charm. “When people come in, it just feels good. It’s comfortable – like home. They feel relaxed. They can sit on the porch with their dogs and play a game of checkers, just like in the olden days. I think people like it because it’s just not the same as the rest of the world,” says Magee. “We love being here as much as our customers do,” Magee says. “We want to be a part of people’s lives – a lot of lives – and this is a good way to do that.” Locals and visitors agree that the delicious food and the genuine, joy-filled atmosphere leave a lasting impression of the establishment. Online reviews show resounding support for the wonderful experience that is to be had at Shorty’s Eatery. So, how did the couple decide on the name? “We wanted an authentic sounding name that fit with the Old West theme of the restaurant. We couldn’t figure it out, so we began4 continued on page 42

considering the names of some of our old pets. We thought about Shorty, our old, long-haired dachshund with the bad attitude, and it just seemed to fit. He’s long gone, butwe keep a photo of him here. And there is a running joke that I’m short, and that works, too. People call me ‘Shorty,’ they call Fred ‘Shorty,’ and we all get a chuckle out of it,” says Magee, chuckling, herself. Fred Magee, who retired from the U.S. Forest Service purchasing department, cheerfully runs the front end of the restaurant, welcoming patrons. Annette Magee works wonders preparing the food and baking in the rebuilt oven that has bricks from the original Blumb’s Bakery. “Henry Blumb baked up to 150 loaves at a time in that oven,” she says, proud to pass on a bit of the building’s rich history. The retired middle school teacher with Columbia School District spent some time working with the Shasta State Historical Park, and had to retire from that job to be eligible to open the restaurant in its location. The Magees could see that there was a need for something like Shorty’s in Old Shasta, and thought the historic location would add to the unique experience of a visit to Shasta State Historical Park. The couple found the perfect way to combine their love for people, history and the quaint town of Old Shasta under one roof. Lori Martin, a park ranger at Shasta State Historic Park since 2003, says that what gives Shorty’s such staying power is more than just the delicious sandwiches and baked goods. “It’s the combination of the wonderful owners, its employees, the ambiance, the décor and the effort they have put into every detail of the experience, including the 42

fact that each sandwich has a name. It’s more than just a restaurant. It’s a place that ties our community together.” The rest of the Shasta State Historical Park works cohesively to give visitors a true glimpse back in time, to the days when the town was ablaze with gold fever. “The park has a really good bunch of volunteers and staff. We love getting to know the blacksmiths next door – they made our door handle for us. The Courthouse Museum, The Litsch General Store (also a museum), the Leo Building (which sells souvenirs) and the ruins of the old brick buildings bring the charm of The Old West back to life. People are amazed when they come here. I can’t say enough for having good neighbors,” says Magee. If you ask the Magees what the best thing about owning a restaurant is, they’d both say, without batting an eye: “It’s the people. Definitely the people.” • Shorty’s Eatery 15350 Buell Alley, Shasta • (530) 999-1222 Open Wednesday–Saturday, 11 am to 4:30 pm Shasta State Historic Park 15312 Highway 299, Shasta • (530) 243-8194 Find them on Facebook

BEAUTY TRENDS | MELISSA GULDEN
G O OD V I B R AT IO N S E A S Y, B R E E Z Y, S U M M E R G I R L THERE’S A CERTAIN VIBE— an attitude in the summer that says: Carefree. Relaxed. Sexy. The feeling of your skin after a long day at the lake, the texture of your hair when you let it air dry, post ocean swim. The toes are brightly colored – the hair lightly tousled. It’s that “Je ne sais quoi” – that quality that cannot be described – that you only seem to have in those relaxed days of summer. But you don’t want to look so relaxed that people think you’ve given up, so here are some fabulous skin, hair and makeup products to keep you glamorous throughout the summer and beyond. SUN PROTECTION. Sun protection is vital for many reasons – the most obvious is the prevention of skin cancer. The sun also prematurely ages your skin and causes wrinkles and dark spots. Who wants that? So please be diligent with your application. With so many great smells and textures of sunscreen, you really have no excuse. I love Neutrogena Beach Defense.
It comes in spray, solid and lotion form, in a wide range of SPFs and smells divinely coconutty ($9.99). Think using suntan oil is bad? Not if it has SPF 50! Supergoop Sun-Defying Oil ($26) is chock-full of the antioxidant meadowfoam seed and great for dry skin. Worried about clogging pores? Not with Coppertone’s Sensitive formula. The SPF 50 boats 15 percent zinc oxide plus soothing aloe extract ($8). MOISTURIZER. Look for a lightweight, everyday protection with vitamins C and E, plus SPF. Try Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer ($8). For a richer cream, try Estée Lauder DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection AntiOxidant Crème, SPF 25 ($45). The Chanel Hydra Beauty line is light and perfect for summer months, and camellia is the secret weapon in the Gel Crème. Try the Hydra Micro Gel Yeux, too, for de-puffing eyes after those long, festive summer nights ($68-87). 4 continued on page 46

HAIR. Look for products that contain UV protection for summer; after all, you pay a lot for those luscious locks. Alterna Bamboo Beach Summer Sunshine Spray is a protective shine oil so hair won’t suffer from harsh rays. Redken Color Extend Sun Shampoo has a fade resistant complex to lock in moisture and lock out UV rays so you can repair and protect your color while you lather up ($14.50). Aveeno Nourish and Strengthen Shampoo is waterproof – wait, what? Yep. The wheat protein isn’t water-soluble, so parched strands soak it up and look healthier. For styling summer hair, many products smooth and treat dehydrated hair. Moroccanoil Treatment Light ($41) is a magical oil that fills damaged strands with proteins lost to styling. Alterna Summer Hair RX After-Sun Hair Quench is a soothing treatment gel that rehydrates, softens and smells as yummy as a tropical cocktail ($20). And if you’re lucky enough to have natural waves, use a sea salt spray, like the one from Lush, to add texture and body for a casual, beachy look. The organic line’s sea spray not only adds texture, but it smells amazing, thanks to a mix of orange flower, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood blend perfumes ($13). BODY. Keep skin looking healthy and hydrated with scrubs, such as Bobbi Brown beach Body Scrub ($35). The fragrance takes me back to childhood days at the lake. The sugar granules in Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish buff your body, while ginseng root invigorates ($65). Great to use before self-tanners. And speaking of… For less commitment, try Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer ($8.99) to build up your tan gradually. Bolder? Go with L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze SelfTanning Gelee ($11.99). The bronze color helps you see your application. Bath and Body Works has a new At the Beach line, and the Airbrush Bronzer ($18.50) is a golden, glittery bronze to make sure you really shimmer and shine. Great for making legs look extra appealing. MAKEUP. Keep your foundation light and low-maintenance. Try Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 ($45). This oil-free foundation blends easily and creates a smooth, high-def canvas. Or go even easier with a tinted moisturizer, such as Laura Mercier. When you’re in leisure mode, dual-purpose products make sense, and this one is a triple threat: cream, SPF 20 and foundation in one. Same rules for concealer – look for UV protection, especially since the eye area is so delicate. For eyes, the secret here is staying power. After all, who wants melty makeup? Waterproof and long-wearing formulas are your best bet. There is a plethora of products that won’t crease or fade. Waterproof eyeliners are a must-have. Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes Stayput Liner ($18) was originally created for water ballet performers and uses evaporating emollients so pigment glides on before it sets. For mascara, try Lancôme L’Extreme Waterproof Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara ($26). Now, you may see cream shadows and think they would be greasy, but Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow ($24) goes on sheer, not tacky, dries to a velvety finish and stays and stays. For lips, forgo your usual lipstick and try a gloss instead. Lips should look like you just ate a popsicle – with a touch of color and shine. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Color Balm ($17) has a gorgeous, shiny finish that isn’t sticky and a pop of color. Now that you’re covered (with sunscreen, right?), grab a cute suit, SPF, a juicy book and hot tunes, and go enjoy a perfect summer day. •

DAD
GOALS GUIDING WITH LOVE
RAISING confident, independent, healthy children is a lofty goal, and the world’s greatest dads know the truth – being there matters. Today’s father embraces a more nurturing role, and research shows that a vast majority agree that being a father is the most important role in their life. In fact, more than half of fathers have left or changed jobs to spend more time with their children. Dads have a special ability to make things right. For some dads, being there means coaching their child’s baseball team, listening to them practice for their piano recital for hours on end, or guiding them as they get behind the wheel for the first time. But for kids, the
expectation is sweetly simple. Fatherhood doesn’t come with a manual, and those who have been there know that there are plenty of victories and missteps along the way. Building strong, trusting relationships helps make the tough times easier to navigate. Unplugged, family-focused time reaps huge rewards. Dads shouldn’t underestimate the powerof being present. Perry Peterson fondly remembers his father, Larry, coming to all of his athletic events. He describes his dad as the loudest guy in the stands, and it made a huge impact on him that his parents cared enough to be there. Let’s hear from local dads and their children…
TIFFANY CORDANO, DAUGHTER OF TONY:“I
can’t tell you what a privilege it has been to be in a front-row seat watching the way that you live. My favorite thing about you is that you’re just unapologetically yourself. Your consistent character is what really gave me the confidence to be me, no matter what. And your generosity taught me how to care well for others. Your work ethic showed me that chasing after your dreams takes a lot more work than you think it would, but it’s totally worth it. And honestly, a lot of the time, I still feel like that little girl who would do anything to make you smile. And I love you.”
JOSH SIDENER, FATHER OF ACE AND EZRA: “Being a father is the most natural thing that I’ve ever done … being a dad to some rambunctious boys is easily the best thing. It’s a solid 30 to 45 minutes of just play when I get home from work, whether that’s wrestling or building a fort or getting some Nerf guns or playing baseball.”
MALEA MOSELEY, DAUGHTER OF MATT: “You’re the best dad in the whole world. I love you so much and you are so special to me. I love that you think you are so funny and that you spend time with me. I have a lot of favorite things about you and one of them is that you take me on a daddy date every Sunday morning. I also love that you love me so much and you are my prince.”
PERRY PETERSON, SON OF LARRY: “You gave me the gift of time. You were there at all my athletic events, birthdays, family celebrations, children’s births, holidays, baptisms. You were quick to hug, encourage me in difficult moments of life. You taught me how to be a loving husband through your tender care of mom. You taught me how to build things, fix things. You taught me how to be a leader and you gave me opportunities to lead. Many of the things you did not receive from your father you worked hard to overcome, and with God’s help you are today a wonderful, loving, emotionally engaged, spiritually powerful father. Your words of affirmation, your words of blessing, your words of wisdom, have guided and shaped me. Thank you, Dad for passing on the blessing to me. I love you.”

S UP I N G SCO O P D D E R N I AM J’S ICE CRE ESS ELICIOUSN CREAMY D JASVIR KAUR FONDLY REMEMBERS summer evening walks through town in her homeland of India. Many years ago, as the day’s heat began to fade, she and her family would stroll Jalandhar, sometimes to an ice cream parlor and then off to see a movie, or sometimes just to the parlor to grab an ice cream cone. Ice cream, she recalls, made her happy. Today, Kaur—who calls herself Jessie—strives to serve that happiness to every customer who visits her own ice cream parlor, J’s Ice Cream, in Redding. “I wanted to make it a traditional, old-fashioned ice cream store,” she says of the tiny storefront that used to house Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors a few years ago. “Like going back in time.” The brightly decorated shop draws a steady line of customers, some of whom know what they want when they come in the door. “A butter pecan milkshake,” says Redding resident Laura Escalon, a regular since 2014. “She sees me walk in and she’s already making it for me.” It’s a black walnut chocolate sundae for Art Shoffner. “He wanted ice cream so bad, and we have nothing like this in Palo Cedro,” says wife Carmen. The couple is treating a family member, Fred Zapata, who decides on a banana split. Kaur says there’s no other place in Redding to get a real banana split. “Others have that soft stuff, not real ice cream,” she explains. “There’s no other ice cream parlor like this in Redding.” That’s because, in addition to its child’s-birthday-party decor and its sweet smell of yesteryear, J’s Ice Cream Parlor serves a confection no other local shop can offer: Gunther’s ice cream, trucked in fresh from Sacramento. Gunther’s ice cream has been produced in the state capital city for generations, and J’s is the only shop in Shasta County they service, according to Brad Realmuto, wholesale manager for the company. It’s working out. “She’s smart, the way she runs her business – pretty savvy,” Realmuto says. She’s pretty sturdy, too, normally climbing out of bed at 6 am to fix breakfast for her two teenagers. Sometimes, after they’re off to school, she has time for a nap, before her daily regimen of exercise, yoga or calisthenics. Then she heads for the shop.4 continued on page 52
JUNE 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

She routinely works an 11-hour day, then it’s home to catch up on housework. Up again at 6 am, seven days a week, for about four years now, and still she greets every customer with a smile. “Since day one, I’ve been challenged to pour my blood, sweat and tears into making the store successful,” Kaur says. “I wanted to be financially successful. That’s my personality.” That personality showed soon after she immigrated, following her husband to the United States in the early 1990s. While naturalizing to become an American citizen, she found work as hostess in a Bay Area restaurant, while pursuing an associate degree in computer administration at Skyline Community College in San Bruno. “I was a full-time student, and a mother, and working at night at a restaurant,” she says. “I moved to Redding a few years ago after falling in love with the lovely scenery here.” She bought the franchise at 31 Flavors in 2010. When BaskinRobbins pulled out a few years later, she kept serving ice cream as she launched J’s, a task that added considerably to her daily workload. “I picked out all the colors and decorations myself,” she said, pointing to the bright pink walls emblazoned with giant ice cream cones. “When we were painting, I slept in my car for three days to let the painters in.” Jessie says she chose ice cream for her livelihood “because ice cream makes people happy.” Occasionally, that happiness ripples out further than she can see. Regular customer Jerry Nelson Stuart is the artist who crafted the fish that adorn the new Antlers Bridge at Lakehead. He buys Gunther’s from J’s by the quart, and he shares these quarts with clients. “I do commissions – portraits, murals – and it’s more than just painting; I get to know these people.” He says whenever he knows that one of them is ailing, or just in a down mood, he shows up on the job with Gunther’s. “When someone needs a little cheering up, there nothing like ice cream,” he says. “I’ve never seen anyone cry while eating ice cream – it makes people smile. It’s like joy. It’s like happiness.” • J's Ice Cream Parlor Open noon to 9 pm, seven days a week 2919 Churn Creek Road, Redding

M A N TO N : R E COV E RY A F T E R T H E F I R E SUE YOUNG OF MANTON clearly remembers the moment she realized the time had come to evacuate the 80 acres of forest land she and her husband Gary called home when the 2012 Ponderosa fire grew near. “I could hear it coming and I could see it coming,” she says. Trees were exploding so loudly she thought they were propane tanks. While she and Gary made it out safely, and their cat survived with just a few burnt paws, the two houses, two barns, two garages and acres of pine, cedar and oak trees the couple had grown to love were all destroyed by the flames. In all, the fire claimed 27,676 acres of Tehama and Shasta counties, as well as 52 residences and 81 outbuildings, according to CAL FIRE reports.
“We lost everything,” says Young. “There wasn’t anything left standing. We were in a really bad place.” The Manton property had been a longtime dream of the couple’s when they moved from Moraga in August 1981. “We had always said that we would retire and live in the mountains somewhere,” she adds. Suddenly, the couple found themselves in a rented home in Red Bluff. While she says they made the best of it and even grew to enjoy being in walking distance of many amenities, “it’s a strange thing to be living in one place and then two or three days later to be someplace completely different. I would wonder where something was and then realize it was completely gone.” 4 continued on page 56

Today, five years later, she marvels at how the community banded together to support each other. As she stands amongst 14,000 replanted trees that are about three feet tall now, she can see a glimmer of a restored future for the area. “Everyone just came together,” she says, “They helped where they could. It was great. I think it brought the community closer.” The church was overrun with donations of clothes and food. People donated money to the Red Cross. Before she knew it, she had three Kitchen Aid mixers at her doorstep in Red Bluff to replace the beloved one she lost in the fire. The Natural Resources Conservation Service, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has just wrapped up its five-year fire recovery initiative in the area, and Young gives it accolades for the support it offered. “They were a huge help,” she says, “So easy to work with and so nice to work with.” While the conservation service supported many property owners with tree restoration and much more, the Young property needed support for a particular problem. The 7½-acre manmade lake on the property, named Lake Christine for their daughter, needed spillway restoration. The original, in a perched position, was at high risk of collapse due to erosion and increased runoff. Natural Resource Conservation Service Civil Engineer John Tiedeman and others developed a plan to replace the spillway with a 100-foot-wide inlet weir, a grouted rock chute and an armored plunge pool. Rocks weighing up to a ton or more were quarried onsite for the construction. The project was immense, and one Young can’t imagine doing on her own. The loss was particularly hard on her husband, Gary,

who has suffered tremendous health issues and now needs the support of a full-time assisted living facility. The lake had been a crown jewel of the property, attracting fly fishers from all over in search of rainbow and brown trout. Both Sue and Gary are avid fly fishers and worked with the Fly Shop in Redding to bring guests to the lake. She credits Melinda Graves of the conservation service with helping them assure its future as habitat for the fish. Today, with the burned logs cleared and new trees planted, and safety of the spillway secured, Sue has moved into a smaller property in Manton and has put the larger property up for sale. Despite the hardships, she says, “I love Manton. I would hate to move out of it. All of my friends are here. I’ve lived here since 1981 so I know a lot of people.” She is thoughtful about the experience of losing so much and yet experiencing the grace of support from friends, family, professionals and strangers. “It’s an amazing thing to go through, on many different levels,” she relates. Despite the upheavals, she is optimistic about her own future as well as that of the property she and Gary invested so much love and work in. “The trees are about three feet tall now,” she says. “They’re doing good. It doesn’t look anything like it used to. But in 30 years it will.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

T H E G R A P E E S C A P E I N D OW N TOW N R E D D I N G SPEND A FEW MINUTES chatting with owner Jim Boisselle and it’s easy to see why people keep coming back to The Grape Escape. But however warm and witty his banter, that is only part of the charm of this downtown wine-tasting room. Right next door to the historic Cascade Theatre, The Grape Escape is one of those businesses that people often say Redding needs more of. Not a restaurant, not quite a bar, it’s where you go when you want to catch up with friends over a nice glass of wine. “It’s a very friendly place,” says Boisselle. “People don’t seem to cultivate friendships like they used to, and here we have all types of customers – young and old – striking up conversation and making connections.” Boisselle has been a businessman in Redding for more than four decades as the owner of Heritage Woodworking, but in 2011 he decided to turn his passion for wine into a “second job.” But ask Boisselle if he considers The Grape Escape a job and he merely laughs
and shrugs. “This isn’t a job. I already have a job. Getting paid to drink wine with your friends – what could be better than that?” Boisselle has always liked wine, but he says that wasn’t the point of The Grape Escape. He wanted this business to be different. Boisselle buys the wines directly from wineries, which allows him to serve wines not often found in the North State, from counties such as Almador, Mendocino, Sonoma and San Luis Obispo. He also serves local wines, including Lone Creek, Vaquero, Alger and Bertagna Son Kissed Vineyards. The wine selection is fluid and the tasting menu changes every other week so the nearly 100 wines they serve can rotate. Boisselle says the best way to sample numerous wines is by ordering flights, which is also how he can get the best idea of a customer’s palette, and most people end up purchasing bottles to take home. The Grape Escape also offers a Wine Club where every other month, four wines are hand selected for each customer at a 20 percent savings.4 continued on page 60
JUNE 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Boisselle says most wine customers are savvy, and this way they get wine from some of the best appellations in California. Boisselle says he would like to reach more people, have them experience good wine. “I’ve barely touched the surface on people who like wine,” he says. Word of mouth is huge in this business, and so is foot traffic, which he hopes to increase now. The Grape Escape has been downtown since 2011, but only in its current location since June of 2015. Boisselle loves being in the heart of downtown, and has set up patio seating so people can enjoy balmy summer evenings. Boisselle describes his business as “event driven,” and hosts events such as live music every Saturday, open-mic nights, and even tastings from some winemakers themselves. “Escape to the Grape,” Boisselle says – the idea is to escape from the everyday. “People come in to relax and enjoy wine in a very friendly place.

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:

TA J M A H A L A N D K E B ’ M O ’ S H A R E T H E S TAG E I N C H I C O SINGER, GUITARIST AND SONGWRITER Keb’ Mo’ was born Kevin Moore in 1951, and has carved out a unique career persona in the shadow of Taj Mahal. “My earliest musical experience was playing steel drum and upright bass in a calypso band when I was 10 years old,” he says. “I moved from there to playing the French horn in my high school orchestra, and during that same time, I was doing gigs with a local cover band.” And there was the chance encounter with a little-known singer named Taj Mahal. “I’ll always remember my drafting teacher in my senior year of high school because he had the foresight and wisdom to let me attend a school assembly featuring this musician named Taj Mahal twice that day. He singled me out because he knew that I liked music. No one, including me, had ever heard of him, but I totally got his songs and it introduced me to the sounds of country blues.” Of course, at the time, nobody knew who Kevin Moore was, either. He moved to Los Angeles after graduation and played in clubs, community theater and film projects. He started recording in the early 1970s with Jefferson Airplane violinist Papa John Creach, who hired Keb’ Mo’ when he was just 21. Keb Mo's first
gold record was received for "Git Fiddler," which he co-wrote with Papa John on Jefferson Starship's “Red Octopus.” After leaving Creach, he began honing his songwriting skills, spending five years in what he calls “songwriting college,” working with other writers for A&M Records. Now, a three-time Grammy winner, he feels blessed to have been included in so many artistic projects. His songs have been featured in numerous TV shows, he has performed in movies like John Sayles “Honeydripper” and portrayed Robert Johnson in in a docudrama. He also acted in “The Rabbit Foot,” a play adapted from Zora Neal Hurston’s short stories, and wrote the original music for Keith Glover’s play, “Thunder Knocking On the Door.” “I try to do my own things, musically speaking, without referencing or being particularly inspired by anything or anyone. It is me being with me, wanted to say what I have got to say and sounding in the way I want to sound like. It's like seeing somebody with a fabulous pair of shoes and rather than asking, ‘Hey, you have got a great pair of shoes, can I borrow them?’, I rather prefer making my own shoes in my own way.” He has performed at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival and narrated Martin Scorsese’s 13-episode radio series, “The4 continued on page 64

Blues.” He contributed songs to tribute albums for Jackson Browne and Greg Allman. For his shows, Keb’ Mo’ employs the dobro, national steel, electric and acoustic guitars, but it’s his signature slide on each that is most identifiable. “I think that the slide guitar is so important to the blues and the roots of what I’m doing,” he says. “So branching out musically like I do, using a steel guitar and slide is a reminder to me and the audience of where I come from in my music.” In 2015, his album, “BLUESAmericana,” won Contemporary Blues Album at the Blues Music Awards. He followed that up with his 15th record release, “Keb’ Mo’ Live - That Hot Pink Blues Album.” Keb’ Mo’ and Taj Mahal are currently on tour in support of their newly released collaborative album,“ TajMo.” The collection contains 11 songs, including six original compositions and covers from the likes of John Mayer and The Who. The record also features guest appearances from Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, and Sheila E., among others.
“I used to see the music business as a way to make money, as a career, so to speak,” he says. “When I got into the blues, it became a statement of history, of black history, American history. It became a connecting point of culture that was much deeper than just looking for a career, or trying to make your way through life. It instills a sense of depth and pride in me that otherwise would not be there if I were just trying to be, for lack of a better word, a pop star.” And what does Keb’ Mo’ say about his encounter with Taj Mahal nearly 50 years ago? “If there was no Taj Mahal, there wouldn’t be a Keb’ Mo’. He has been infinitely inspiring to who I am as a person and my entire musical journey.” •
“I think that the slide guitar is so important to the blues and the roots of what I’m doing.”

THERE’S ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD between fishing the Sacramento River below Shasta Dam and above it. Below Shasta Dam is a world of blacktop highways, fishing from a boat and hearing the sounds of traffic. Above the dam is a world of ospreys and eagles, dirt roads and wading waist deep in the river. June is Goldilocks month for fishermen on the Upper Sacramento. The water’s not too cold and not too warm, not too high and fast and not too low and slow. Experienced fly fishermen tend to go where the trout are the wildest, avoiding the stretches stocked with hatchery fish. They like the challenge of hooking, and releasing, those wily wild fish, the ones who have “stream smarts.” With each short, quick cast, you’ve got to absolutely mimic the action of a fly on the water, a technique developed and perfected by Ted Fay, one of the pioneer fly fishermen on the Upper Sac. You’ve also got to be constantly alert for the slightest tug on the line. “It’s an intricate, detail-oriented sport, a thinking man and woman’s game,” says Bob Grace, owner of Dunsmuir’s Ted Fay Fly Shop. He’s part of a legacy that goes back to the late 1940s, when a chain-smoking truck driver named Ted Fay bought a motel in Dunsmuir and converted one room to a fly fishing shop. Fifty years later, Grace bought the business from Joe Kimsey, one of Fay’s fishing guides. In the 20 years since then, Grace has had plenty of time to observe the types of people who are drawn to the sport. He puts them in three neat categories: (1) Older, well-educated, achiever types– doctors, lawyers, architects– who are drawn to the challenge of catching wild fish. (2) Young, eager outdoors types who are also involved in mountain climbing and backcountry skiing and who also tend to be environmentalists. They’re drawn to fly fishing the Upper Sac because of its non-4 continued on page 68

motorized, back-to-nature character. (3) Casual fishermen in their 30s, looking for something to do, a chance to get away from a stressful job and the big city a couple times a year. Longtime fishermen have plenty of back-to-nature stories about fishing the Upper Sac and its nearby streams – stories about seeing a mother bear playing with her cubs on the banks of the McCloud River, or seeing a deer swimming down that same stream, using it as a highway. They know where the out-of-the-way creeks are, where you can catch trout in the spring on their way up to spawn. Sandy Watts, who’s 75 and has worked in The Fly Shop in Redding for the past 24 years, can tell you just when to catch the big rainbows as they head upriver from Shasta Lake to spawn. David Walmisley lives right along the Upper Sac in Dunsmuir and knows “all its nooks and crannies." His favorite time to fish is the “magic hour” just before dark, when the big fish come out to feed. They’re more cautious than the smaller ones (that’s probably how they got to be big fish), and you have to perfectly mimic the action of a fly above the water as you whip the line back and forth. The payoff in that magic hour, for experienced fishermen like Walmisley, is to see a twofoot-long fish leap out of the water and grab your fly.
For Bob Grace, owning a popular fly fishing shop is a bittersweet experience: During prime fishing season, from May to June and midSeptember to November, he spends most of his waking hours making a living and helping others enjoy the sport and can barely squeeze in a few hours to get out on the river himself. Still, when he does manage to do so, he’s reminded of what drew him to the sport in the first place. “I like it because it forces you to be totally in the moment, to pay attention every minute,” he says. “While you’re out there, it takes your mind off any problems and worries you might have.” John Moreno of Mount Shasta, who’s been fishing the Upper Sac for nearly two decades, often goes out by himself to his favorite spots on the river. “But you know,” he says, reflecting on the experience, “I’m never lonely when I’m out there by myself.” •

neighborhood reimagined R E D D I N G ’ S S H I L O H PA R K
“...what we need as humans is to have a strong face of community as well, where friends can grow organically.”
IMAGINE YOU DIDN’T JUST KNOW your neighbors, but they were also your friends. If you could design a neighborhood more centered on community, with larger porches and parks, and less centered on garages and fences, would you? Putting the question to themselves, that’s exactly what Rebekah and Joshua Johnson decided to do. Originally from Riverside and Canada respectively, the husband and wife had been living in Ohio where “we had this epiphany of the value of neighbors and interconnected neighborhoods, and the benefit of that lifestyle and what that brought our family,” says Joshua. “The west was always in our sights,” he continues, “and Redding seemed like a great place to explore this concept of bringing back the human elements to developments.” In short, says Joshua, “we moved to Redding for Redding.” The Johnsons didn’t want to create just another hit-and-run development that maximized profit, and they had walked away from six other projects before discovering an urban infill in south Redding alongside South Market Street and Girvan Road. “Everyone told me south Redding wasn’t the desirable place to live,” says Joshua, who soon became attracted to the diversity of that neighborhood. “Really, the only place Redding can develop is south, and I think there’s a revitalization that’s important to our city in that area.” The Johnsons broke ground for the 21-home pocket community, Shiloh Park Neighborhood, in April, and expect homes will be ready as soon as January. According to Joshua, between eight and 10 homes already have sold, with 11 still remaining.4 continued on page 72
JUNE 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

According to the Johnsons, the homes will share characteristics from both farmhouse and modern designs, such as short yards with large porches and interiors with contemporary, clean edges. The layout of the neighborhood will also maximize community spaces with more intermittent parks. “We like the timeless feel as well as the modern,” says Rebekah. “We definitely came from an area where there was intentional layout,” a kind of leave-it-to-Beaver neighborhood, she says. “So we want to bring that farmhouse style, with big lazy front porches, but in a modern way.” The community will include three acres of common space for gardens, a common house, pool and trails that go around the edge of the property. “This isn’t just a park with a playground and bench,” says Joshua. “I come from a software background,” continues Joshua, who designed user interfaces for mobile apps for 12 years. “Technology is going to keep advancing and moving forward and we have to expand the idea of what a neighbor is – we already have. But on the flipside, what we need as humans is to have a strong face of community as well, where friends can grow organically.” “This is something we haven’t experienced since World War 2,” Joshua concludes, addressing the cultural shift that resulted in suburbs where garages became the home’s centerpiece, and not front porches. “But people are looking for this kind of concept.” The Johnsons’ hope is that the concept of neighborhoods intentionally designed to bring community together will become a new trend among developers. “My hope is that this would not only be a trend but push developers into the next 100 years, and that we would take a responsibility of matching up art and business again,” Joshua says. “The industrial revolution took us in another direction, but when I say art, I mean architecture, intentionally designed spaces incorporating the study of humans and how we interact with space.” Though ground has only just broken, Redding is already buying into the concept, and neighbors are literally taking ownership not just of their neighborhood, but of the direction in which they’d like it to go. “This is really the story of friends who are building together,” says Joshua. “The builder, the lawyer, the developer, the Realtor, the mortgage lender – so many people who are part of this project will also be neighbors in this project.” In short, the Johnsons and company are carving out the kind of space where they want to live. Which is probably why they gave the neighborhood the name Shiloh. No, not from the famous Civil War battle, says Joshua. “It’s actually an ancient city in Israel, from before King David took Jerusalem. It means, simply, gift.” Which is what this neighborhood should be to the Johnsons, and all those who come to call it home: a neighborhood that reimagines development to the point of building relationships as much as homes. Shiloh Park will incorporate three different model homes, ranging between about $360,000 and $450,000 before optional upgrades. A waiting list for Shiloh Park can be found on its website. • www.shilohparkredding.com Jordan Venema is a freelance writer and California native.

THE SOUNDS OF ENGINES revving up, the smell of exhaust and the anticipation of everyone coming out of the start gate at once but not knowing who will end up out in front – this is the thrill of the NorCal motocross/ dirt bike riding scene. Although many of California’s public dirt motocross tracks start in Oroville/Marysville and run south, some crop up every so often further north.
The Shasta District Fairgrounds in Anderson used to maintain a dirt track for motocross racers in the middle of its speedway and even now, the Honey Lake Motocross Park in Lassen County has been called one of the most challenging tracks in the United States. However, for hardcore local dirt bike enthusiasts in Redding, it can be difficult to drive every weekend to a designated professional track, so many have banded together to form their own groups and ride through the Northern California hills together. Here is a look at local dirt bike riders in the Redding area.4 continued on page 76 Musgrove Photo by Matt

Matt Morgan has been riding dirt bikes since he was 3, growing up in the motocross scene through his dad. Joining the Redding Dirt Riders when he was young, Morgan’s passion was in motocross racing, but his focus has shifted to hitting the local dirt trails with friends and having fun. “My dad was in it and got me into it when I was 11 years old, but I was more interested in riding the track,” says Morgan. As he got older, he got into freestyle riding and even made it into the X-Games Qualifiers before settling down into basic trail riding. “I like riding motocross but it’s hard to shoot down to a track, so it’s nice to be able to go trail riding with members of the club,” he says. The Redding Dirt Riders have been around since the early 1970s and they have 101 active paid members. For only $20 a year, they get access to the member email list and invitations to regular club meetings and exclusive riding events. “We host a national race once a year at Shasta Dam where people come from all over the United States,” Morgan says of the Kenda/ SRT AMA Hare Scramble Shasta Dam Grand Prix, where dirt bike riders do three laps on a 25-mile track.

"I like riding motocross but iT's hard to shoot down to a track, so it's nice to be able to go trail riding with members of the club..."
Although the annual Hare Scramble is the Redding Dirt Riders’ biggest open event, the club also hosts a New Year’s Day Poker Run and Buckhorn Enduro for its members. “The New Year’s Day Poker Run is a 20-mile loop so that the little kids can do it,” says Morgan, whereas the Buckhorn Enduro is a 300mile round trip that starts in Susanville and then goes to Sparks, Nev. and back. “It’s great for local guys like me who have a job and a kid,” he says. Although Morgan has had 12 broken bones due to riding dirt bikes, it does not deter him. “It’s still my main passion. Nothing really beats it,” he says. Like Morgan, Cottonwood local Joe Shipman has been riding dirt bikes for 25 years and comes from a dirt bike riding family (his dad, uncle and grandpa all ride). However, unlike average trail riders, Shipman has found his niche in hill climbing. “Any dirt bike rider can do a hill climb, but you need to be physically fit, have technique, skill and ability,” says Shipman. A lot of it, he says, is about really knowing your bike’s traction, momentum and overall setup. You have to look at the bike’s gearing and tires and know how to change your equipment to adapt to different hill verticals. Shipman competes in about 10 races a year all over the nation, and his favorite is the competition in Carnegie State Park in the Tracy/ Livermore area. “It’s similar to the Shasta Dam OHV,” he says. Riding around his 15-acre property at least a couple times a week, Shipman does well for himself on the North American Hillclimbers Association race circuit, too – in 2016 alone, he won the Big Nasty Open Exhibition, the Big Nasty King of the Hill, the Poag’s Hole Hillclimb King of the Hill, Nitro In the Blues Open Exhibition, and was an eight-time West Coast Hillclimbers Association champion. Shipman won three out of four North American Hillclimbers Association events, earning the most points in the overall series and securing the Northwest Nitro National Open Exhibition championship.
“Winning the series was quite an accomplishment for me. I took a used street bike and turned it into a dirt bike (to get up the hills). That was pretty awesome,” he says. It took a few months to convert the bike, working with a builder who did the frame and rebuilt the motor. “It cost some money but it worked,” says Shipman. Moving to Cottonwood from the Bay Area when he was 12, Shipman finds there are more places to ride due to all of the open space around him. “We live on 15 acres of land in Cottonwood and I have a track in my backyard,” he says. With Shasta Dam and many dirt trails around, Shipman says, “I like the smalltown Cottonwood feel. I can ride wherever and go down to Cottonwood Creek without getting hassled, and still be respectful to the environment. I’m close to lots of riding areas and can drive an hour in any direction to get to riding spots; there are a lot of natural resources around. “It’s an adrenaline rush. I’ve done all kinds of riding, but nothing beats going 60-70 mph with a 200-horsepower hill climb,” he says. “It’s an addiction. There’s nothing else like it. Even after breaking my femur, as long as I’m physically capable, I will keep riding – it’s my passion.” •

SWEET CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD YIELD: 6 SERVINGS
Someone once told me that in their next life, they wanted to come back as my Sweet Curried Chicken Salad. I have to admit, it is always well received! It is so fresh and has a wonderful crunch from the celery, and the sweetness of the red grapes and toasted coconut heighten the curry flavor. It’s a super easy recipe to make and also a great choice all summer long, as it does not require a stove – so it won’t heat up your kitchen! I like all the ingredients listed in this salad, but you can easily change it to suit your taste. And those colors…oh my!
Enjoy! 82

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: For the dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise or yogurt, chutney, curry powder, ground ginger and wine or lemon juice. STEP 2: In a large bowl, add in the remaining ingredients, except the grapes, and about half the dressing. Stir until thoroughly combined.
STEP 3: Add grapes and lightly toss to incorporate into the salad mix. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. When serving, add more dressing, as needed. It may be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. STEP 4: Serve on bed of leafy lettuce, such as red, green, butter or romaine gems.

SNAPSHOT
| BY BILLY PILGRIM
R E N A I S S A N C E M A N , D O N P OT T E R LONG LONG AGO, in a galaxy far away, in a broadcasting school in the Playboy Building on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, I met Don Potter. At least I think I did. Neither of us can remember, but we know that must be so, because we were classmates together in a very special creative environment, and destined to follow our radio muse to Redding, and to work together many years later at Q97. Meet renaissance man and unapologetic Deadhead Grateful Don Potter, who has rapidly endeared himself to radio listeners and theater audiences since his arrival in Northern California two years ago. Don works at Q97 and hosts Sunday Night Dead on legendary KPIG in Freedom, Calif. He will soon be appearing in Shasta College’s presentation of Sweeney Todd. Enjoy: Are you having fun yet? Potter: I’m having a blast. I am having so much fun, and it’s all on my terms. Enjoy: What’s with all of this tie dye? Potter: I’ve been wearing tie dye for 30 years. I work in radio where you don’t have to wear a tie, but you can wear tie dye. Every Friday is tie dye Friday. It makes people smile. You can be a walking billboard of fun. Enjoy: First radio job? Potter: I was 21 and working in the RV conversion business and I was miserable. I had a wife and a baby. Somehow my tape and resume ended up at a radio station in Santa Maria - KSMA, “Beautiful Music in Stereo.” They hired me for $600 a month, and fired me six months later for having too much personality. Enjoy: What was your favorite Dead show? Potter: Has to be my second. I didn’t get them the first time. I thought, “What’s with all these long jams? What in the world is going on?” My second show was May 25, 1974. I got it. I got on the bus that day. Enjoy: How many times did you meet Jerry Garcia? Potter: Five times. Maybe more. I’ve met everyone in the band. I have been so lucky. Enjoy: You officiated your morning radio partner’s wedding at an Oakland A’s game. Potter: I worked with Wayne Coy at KKIQ. I married Wayne and Nancy at home plate at an A’s game. It was Star Wars Night at the Coliseum. There was a guy trying to set a world’s record on a treadmill on the upper deck. There were fireworks. And the A’s lost. Enjoy: Worst radio experience? Best radio experience? Potter: I was on the air on 9/11 and covered the Loma Prieta Earthquake nonstop in ‘89. These events were the worst in terms of tragedy, loss of life and destruction. Yet they were the best radio experiences, too, because I was doing what I was trained to do. Enjoy: You’ve met a lot of people in your broadcast life. Who would you like to meet that you haven’t yet? Potter: Barack Obama. He’s handled so much with great dignity and intelligence, and has been a wonderful humanitarian. Enjoy: What’s your hope for the future? Potter: The world is on a crazy course right now. I trust we will survive. We will get by. I’m grateful. I’m optimistic. I trust in God. I think we will be ok. There is a photograph of a young Grateful Don in the liner notes of the Grateful Dead’s very first box set. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16.

The Cascade Theatre becomes 1980s Hollywood Sunset Strip when the Tony Award-nominated Rock of Ages thunders onto the stage. Part rock concert, part musical, Rock of Ages features the hit music of Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more. When rocker Stacee Jaxx takes the stage, scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star Drew longs make it as the next big thing. But the rock and roll fairy tale is about to end when developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another strip mall. Can Drew and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Live music performed by local band Cold Sweat. Join the band on stage for a special VIP dance after-party (separate admission applies). June 16-17, 23-24 • Rock of Ages: VIP After Party, 9:30 pm

ON A MISSION WITH BUTTE HUMANE SOCIETY

MEAGAN DALLAS, like many people, is an animal lover. Unlike a lot of other people, she has the privilege of working with animals every day as adoptions manager of the Butte Humane Society in Chico. She has been with the humane society since October 2015 and the best part is “always seeing the animals go home,” Dallas says. Executive Director Katrina Woodcox is also an animal lover, but she got involved with Butte Humane Society for deeper reasons. “My background is in nonprofit management. I left my previous job to work in the private sector and realized my passion and my calling is in the cause-related industry,” she says. “It’s a wonderful cause to be involved with and very sobering and very serious.” She has been with the society since January 2014 and says her focus is to “leave this world a little bit of a better place than when I landed on it.” The Chico-area animal adoption agency has been around since 1911. “Our purpose is to find appropriate homes for animals in the community as well as educate the community on spay and neuter,” Woodcox says. The nonprofit organization is 100 percent donor-funded. “Our mission is to save lives, find homes and inspire compassion,” Woodcox says. The Butte Humane Society has grown from one facility to three, and on any given day, it can have almost 40 dogs and upwards of 50 to 60 cats. “The key is the length of stay time,” Woodcox explains. “We try to cycle them through as quickly and efficiently as possible and find them a good home. We work really hard to keep that flow going.” They cycle through about 1,300 animals a year. “People say, ‘Oh, I could never do that. It’s so sad.’ But there’s way more to celebrate than being sad,” says Woodcox. “We like to tell an animal’s story, and you see them blossom here.” Woodcox also adds that people often say, “Our family is now complete because of this animal.” “That’s the best part, knowing you play an instrumental part,” she says. “You’re the animal’s voice. They don’t have one.” Butte Humane Society hosts programs and events each month to raise awareness about its services. Its three main events are the Bidwell Bark in April, the Pup Crawl in July
(new this year) and the Anniversary Gala in September. It does a supper club once a month, and participates in many other community events, including Chico’s Thursday Night Markets. “You name it, we go,” Woodcox says. They also give talks to children about humane education and do mobile adoptions. This summer’s brand-new Pup Crawl will be Saturday, July 8 from 5 to 9:30 pm in downtown Chico. The Butte Humane Society is partnering with the Downtown Chico Business Association, and the event coincides with the business association’s Restaurant Week. The Pup Crawl is essentially the same as a pub crawl – people purchase wristbands that allow them to enjoy beverage specials at participating establishments in downtown Chico. “It’s a fun way for the citizens of Chico to enjoy what their community has to offer, while also helping homeless animals,” says Samantha Jones, marketing and events specialist for the humane society. People can get involved with the Butte Humane Society by signing up on its website to be a volunteer, becoming part of Butte Friends Forever by making a small donation every month, joining a committee or signing up for the monthly newsletter. Volunteers can walk dogs, socialize with cats, do laundry, help with events or assist with administrative work in the office. A large foster program allows people to “take in an animal that needs a break from the shelter or an animal that is too young or too small or not ready to be adopted yet,” Dallas says. “Our primary focus is to address homeless animals in our city, in our county and in our region first,” Woodcox says. “There are a lot of animals locally that need homes. When people are thinking about adopting from our rescue, that focuses within our own community first.” • www.buttehumane.org
