These long, hot, lazy days of summer are in full swing – we hope you’re enjoying this extra-heavy dose of Vitamin D! It’s the perfect time to plan a jaunt to McArthur-Burney Falls State Park – that place that Teddy Roosevelt called “the eighth wonder of the world.” Just an hour’s drive from Redding, the mist of that magnificent waterfall will cool you right off. The free Chico Air Museum is a mecca for airplane aficionados, and while you’re in Butte County, check out the RYAN SCHUPPERT aptly named Paradise in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. It AND TAYLOR SMITH is home to some fun shops, eateries and festivals – we’ll share by Kara Stewart a few of the gems we found there. Then meet Francisco Bobadilla, the owner of Red Bluff ’s Firehouse Pizza who has built a fun and safe space for kids to hang out. The popular track, wrestling and football coach has a knack for building strong youth – he also teaches guitar lessons at the juvenile justice center, and his influence has straightened the life paths of more than a few students. And finally, we’ll introduce you to Carolyn Ward, who ran a 10K in Hawaii to achieve her goal of running a race in every state in America. She finished first in the 70-99 age group and was cheered on by a crew of friends who are the wind beneath her running shoes. Please join us for the final month of this summer’s Enjoy Movies in the Park series, which will be at Enterprise Community Park every Friday night in August. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs or picnic baskets, or enjoy our onsite food vendors during this wholesome community activity under the stars. Enjoy the last stretch of summer!

ART AND CULTURE
| BY JON LEWIS | PHOTOS: MANDA REED
A R T I S T IC LICE N SE REDDING’S ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROGRAM CITY HALL IS THE THREE-STORY, 100,000-square-foot hub of Redding and home to the chairs, desks, computers, offices and workers required to keep tabs on a $300 million budget and keep a city of 90,000 people humming along. What some may not realize is it’s also home to Redding’s largest art gallery, thanks to the city’s Art in Public Places program. Launched in 1998, the program is an organized bid to beautify the community, reflect its personality and encourage conversation, says Kim Niemer, Redding’s director of community services. With more than 500 feet of gallery railing, City Hall is the largest venue for exhibiting artwork, but the program also includes the Redding Library and Sculpture Park on the grounds surrounding City Hall. Other pieces have popped up in town, including Brian Tedrick’s “The Dancer” in front of Old City Hall; ceramic artist Colleen Barry’s “Mosaic Oasis” and “Mosaic Sanctuary,” both in Turtle Bay Exploration Park; William Mueller’s “Synergy #7” at the entrance to the Redding
Library; and John Streeby’s metal salmon throughout the intersection of Cypress Avenue and Pine Street and in the Highway 44 median. “Not everyone will like every piece, but we hope we can offer something in our collection that resonates,” she says. “I am always excited to see photos on social media, ads, senior portraits and many other instances where families and businesses have selected these artistic spaces as backgrounds for special moments.” Brenna Bowers, the city’s art facilitator who oversees the exhibits in City Hall and the library, says the program’s mission “is to augment public spaces throughout the city with works of art ranging from paintings, murals and outdoor sculptures to functional works integrated into architecture and community infrastructure.” One goal is to transform public works projects into works of art and turn public areas from the commonplace “into sites reflecting the spirit of our dynamic community,” Bowers says. One noteworthy example, of course, is the Sundial Bridge.4 continued on page 14

Beginning this month, artists are invited to submit selections to be considered for the three City Hall exhibitions scheduled for 2018. The autumn showcase begins Sept. 7 and a reception to meet the artists, complete with live music and refreshments, will be held from 5 to 7 pm Friday, Sept. 22. Since the program’s inception, Bowers says some 2,500 pieces from more than 250 artists have been exhibited. City Hall workers enjoy seeing their workplace transformed into an art space, Bowers says. “It kind of brings a lightness and a joy to the hallways,” she says. “It brings a little culture into a business environment that can be a little colder. It makes it a little bit more inviting.” Michael Rizza, a 90-year-old sculptor who splits his time between Walnut Creek and Redding, has 13 pieces on display in City Hall’s current exhibit and thoroughly enjoys the opportunity to show off his work. “It’s really gratifying to see all the people ask many questions,” Rizza says. “People hadn’t seen a lot of my contemporary work so they asked a lot of questions. It was a good experience for me.” Despite being legally blind in one eye and 95 percent blind in the other, Rizza says he continues to create every day and is also showing his work at galleries in Palm Desert and Danville. He expects to have new works on display in City Hall next year, as well. “I’ve made some new friends up there and they’re eager to see my work,” he says. Jim Phillips also is a fan of the Art in Public Places program, but the bulk of his work can be found outdoors. His latest piece is a “cloud

column” sculpture in the middle of the roundabout at Shasta View Drive and Old Alturas Road, which was made possible by a grant from the Shasta Regional Community Foundation. A former high school art teacher who went on to work as a state building inspector (thus the reason he likes to work with concrete), Phillips also has sculptures in place at the Redding Library (in collaboration with Paul Rideout and John Streeby) and Shasta College campuses in Redding and Red Bluff. Phillips says all his work is donated and he gratefully acknowledges contributions from Nichols, Melburg & Rosetto, Redding Rancheria, Lowe’s, Home Depot and Redding Electric Utility for the donation of materials, equipment and engineering services. “My experience has been very good,” Phillips says. “The key to that program has been Kim Niemer and Brenna, who helps her, and before that it was Sarah Sheetz, who’s now at the airport. It’s been very good for me.” • www.cityofredding.org/departments/ parks-and-recreation/art-in-public-places For details on submitting art, call (530) 225-4104 or email rsvp@reddingart.org

G O L D PA N N I N G I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E
WHEN THE SKIES OPENED UP last winter and drenched the North State, not everyone was focused on the overburdened dams, rising rivers and flooded roads. More than a few were thinking about the good fortune that most certainly was being rinsed from the mountainsides and sent tumbling to the valley below. It’s not exactly the rush of 1849 that colored California’s history, but there’s definitely a strain of gold fever going around these parts. Chip Hess, who runs The Miner’s Cache with his wife, Stacy, certainly sees the symptoms. Recreational prospecting “is very viable at this time,” Hess says, “especially with all the rain and pictures of the dam being blown out in Oroville. It has generated a lot of interest” among the part-timers and those “looking to make some money—the price of gold is bumping up against $1,300 (an ounce). It had been in a lull for the last year.” Hess sees anywhere from three to five families a week come through his shop, but that number went up to eight to 10 a week as spring turned into summer. “A lot of this stuff has been on the news,” he says. The newcomers ask about gold—where and how to find it— and Hess is more than happy to help. He even offers a conditional warranty: “I can pretty much guarantee gold if the person does as instructed, but I can’t guarantee how much.” Indeed, there is gold in them thar hills, and a prospector does not need to travel far. “We have areas right around Redding that are pretty
amazing,” Hess says, noting the Washington Mine near French Gulch has long been a productive source of in-place or lode deposit gold. There also are plenty of local opportunities to find alluvial or placer gold, the term for deposits created when mountains erode over time and gold is carried off by streams and rivers. In California, commercial miners extracted that gold from riverbeds through the use of suction dredging. A statewide ban halted suction dredging in 2009. A miner for the past 60 years, including 40 years as a professional, Hess says folks could make a tidy living before dredging was stopped. “In good ground, you could get one to four ounces a week, and then we’d hit pockets where it would be three to five to 10 ounces in a given day. Those are nice paydays,” he says. Prospectors are still known to engage in a little “sniping,” the practice of floating down a stream and looking into cracks and crevices for signs of gold. Hess was doing some sniping in the 1980s, making his way down a creek, when he saw a speck of gold and “popped out a full one-ounce nugget, right out here in French Gulch.” These days, most prospecting is done with metal detectors, sluice boxes and the humble gold pan. In fact, Hess says, “everybody in mining is a panner. Everything goes back to the gold pan. Whether you’re a novice, running a metal detector, doing some hardrock mining… we even use ‘em for testing equipment.”4 continued on page 18
AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

With Redding situated in the heart of gold country, Hess tries to keep his shop well-stocked for would-be prospectors. “We carry over 1,000 gold pans, and probably 30 to 35 varieties,” he says. Hess recommends people combine gold panning with other outdoor activities they enjoy, like camping or fishing. Rules and regulations exist, Hess says, but there’s no single location or agency that has all the answers. “Hands and pans are OK in most places,” Hess says, but to be safe he recommends gold hounds stop by the Miner’s Cache for some free advice. Private property and staked claims are always off limits. Gold panning is allowed in some sections at Whiskeytown Lake but prospectors need to purchase a $1 permit and can only use a scoop or trowel no bigger than 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. “You can find some color at the north end of the lake,” Hess says. “It’s a federal park and usually they don’t allow the extraction of minerals, but Whiskeytown was a gold-mining town so they give us some leeway.” Matt Switzer, a Whiskeytown park ranger, says grade schoolers studying the gold rush during their weeklong stay at Whiskeytown Environmental School have been finding quite a few flakes of gold lately. Most of Whiskeytown is fair game for panning and permits are available at the visitors’ center. Hess and his wife are members of Shasta Miners and Prospectors Association, a nonprofit group that allows members access to its gold-bearing claims. Monthly meetings are open to the public. “I’m kind of the go-to guy for anything that needs to be handled professionally and the training,” Hess says. Tales of amazing finds and lost loot have achieved near-legendary status, says North State historian Dottie Smith. In 1870, three miners found a gold nugget weighing more than 11 pounds on Spring Creek, a short distance below the falls near the Iron Mountain Railway crossing. An even larger chunk of gold was discovered in 1880, a mere 100 feet from the location of the first nugget. Perhaps the most well-known story of hidden treasure involves the infamous Ruggles Brothers, John and Charles, who in May 1892 robbed the stage to Weaverville, shot the armed escort, Buck
18
www.EnjoyMagazine.net AUGUST 2017
Montgomery, and made off with a strongbox filled with $5,000 in gold and currency. Fearing that Charles Ruggles had been mortally wounded in the shootout, brother John hid the strongbox to hasten their getaway while the stage proceeded to Old Shasta to get help. The route used is the present-day Middle Creek Road. The Ruggles were subsequently captured and ultimately lynched by vigilantes; the whereabouts of their loot remains unknown. Smith’s other favorite tale of lost treasure involves a caravan of Mormons traveling through Shasta County that crossed Clear Creek near Horsetown while the creek was running high. A horse stumbled, a wagon got stuck in a rut and a chest containing $40,000 in gold coins was lost from the tailboard of a wagon. The swift waters made recovery impossible. The Mormons returned the following spring to retrieve the chest, but all traces of the crossing were gone, covered with sand, rocks and gravel. The coins were never found, although in 1910, William Diestelhorst discovered a $10 gold piece dated 1841 while dredging on Clear Creek. “I’ve heard stories of people who find one or two. That one really intrigues me,” Smith says. • The Miner’s Cache 1600 E.

ACCORDING TO THE National Retail Federation, online retail sales are estimated to grow by 8 to 12 percent in 2017 and Cloud Wise Academy’s mission is to ensure the Redding market is prepared to capitalize on that growth. “We really started the company to solve a problem,” says co-founder and Vice President Kristin Zhivago. “Redding, like many other communities, was facing a shifting economy. There were plenty of jobs for people with the right (technical) skills, but many didn’t have or weren’t being taught those skills.”
Zhivago and co-founder and CEO Joe Mckenna started Cloud Wise in July 2016 for just that reason. The company operates on a “learn to earn” motto. Classes are offered in a workshop format and Zhivago says, “There’s no theory. It’s hands-on, learn how to build it, so you can go out there and make a living doing it.” With the e-commerce economy growing faster than the non-e-commerce economy (roughly 4 to 8 percent, according to the National Retail Federation), Zhivago 4 continued on page 22

“Business owners take our classes so they can oversee the work of others and ensure it is being done properly.” says understanding how to build a website and set up search engine optimization are skill sets critical to businesses that want to stay competitive in this growing market. Since its opening, Cloud Wise Academy has trained more than 70 people, many of whom have gone on to jobs in the technical field, several of them with the company. Rodrick Dusio MacDermott served in the National Guard, where he worked as a heavy equipment operator. Later, he went to college but admits he didn’t enjoy it. After failing out, he moved from job to job until a friend gave him information about a computer class seeking veterans. “I’m pretty computer literate, so I stopped by and met Joe,” says Dusio MacDermott. “I took the Websites for Beginners class and discovered I was really good at it.” He also says he put in the extra time outside of class to learn additional skills, including how to post to his own server, and Mckenna took note. “While I was taking WordPress for Beginners, Joe hired me,” Dusio MacDermott says. “He seemed really impressed that I could incorporate advanced features into website building. Everyone seems to hate desk jobs, but I love it. There’s a lot of learning in my job.” Lindsay Thompson went to Cloud Wise to learn how to build a website for a hobby project. Although her goal was to learn enough about coding to work with the advanced WordPress templates she had been exploring, she surpassed her own expectations. “We built our websites as part of the class and I didn’t even end up using WordPress,” says Thompson. “I designed my own pages from scratch using JavaScript, HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I left with so much more than I thought I would get out of it.”
(For those who do not speak code: HTML is used to describe and define a webpage’s content, CSS its appearance, and JavaScript its functionality.) Thompson went into the class not knowing anything about website design, but after six weeks of classes she came out fairly knowledgeable. “I don’t want to brag, but I think I had the best website in the class,” she says. “The instructor always mentioned outside sources and I took it upon myself to investigate and learn more.” Besides the Website Design and WordPress courses, Cloud Wise also offers Search Engine Optimization, Photoshop and the newly added E-Commerce workshops. Business Coaching workshops, geared toward managers, are also available. “You can’t manage something you don’t understand,” says Zhivago. “Business owners take our classes so they can oversee the work of others and ensure it is being done properly.” Classes are set up so someone who is already working or has a family can attend, says Zhivago. Most run twice weekly in the evenings for six weeks and cost less than $300, which includes a certificate of completion. The new E-Commerce class, which started last month, costs $479. Scholarships are available. • www.cloudwiseacademy.com (800) 241-0341 • info@cloudwiseacademy.com

FOR FANS OF THICK-CRUST PIZZA, Firehouse Pizza in Red Bluff is a perennial favorite. “People love our crust,” says Francisco Bobadilla, owner of the six-year-old gathering place. “It’s a recipe we've had to work on and work on. We grew a good understanding of how bread works.” Firehouse, beloved as well for its generous and fun combinations of toppings – sweet and spicy Tropic Thunder being a favorite – is also a community space people care about. Housed in an old brick building on Main Street that was the longtime home of Papa Joe’s Pizza, the doors were shuttered until Bobadilla, his brother Thomas and friend Bryon relocated their Lucerne and Clear Lake-based restaurants to Tehama County, where they had all grown up. “We basically grew homesick,” the Corning native says. “The building has history on it. People get to bring their kids and create memories they had when they were younger,” he adds. “The high school kids love it. They tell me there was pretty much no place to go except the bowling alley until we came.” The upstairs section of the building houses pool tables, video games and a jukebox. For Bobadilla, creating the fun and safe space at Firehouse is only one of many ways he contributes to youth and community development. A popular assistant track and wrestling coach at Red Bluff High School, as well as a volunteer junior varsity football coach, Bobadilla is the kind of guy who trains right along with the students. “I’m able to tell the kids what to do and then participate with them. It makes it so much more meaningful. They’ll get competitive with me. They’ll challenge me and it makes them try harder.”4 continued on page 26 AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

In 2016, at the urging of friend Nora Schwaller, Bobadilla began teaching guitar lessons in Tehama County’s Juvenile Justice Center as a volunteer three days a week. A local business offered to sell him new guitars at cost and he quietly built a popular elective within the institution. “Basically, I’m just trying to get them to love music, which really isn't that hard. But it’s more than just turning on the radio.” Through music, he hopes the students will discover a new and healthy way to meet people, collaborate and teach each other. “It becomes more of a learning experience because now they’re becoming a teacher, as well.” He designs his lessons so youth who pick up concepts quickly can teach their peers. Good behavior within the institution increases, because youth want to earn the privilege of practicing outside of school with staff. “I love just watching the kids grow,” says Bobadilla, noting that he’s very aware of the traumas many of them have experienced by such a young age. “It’s so pure,” he says of music. “It brings me great joy to see them have so much fun.” Bobadilla credits his mother for the soft spot he has for youth and humanity in general. “My mom is a really loving, caring person, too,” he says. “Sometimes to a fault. Her personality sort of rubbed off on me.” To maintain a schedule of entrepreneurship – he also recently opened the Downtown Ale House on Walnut Street in Red Bluff, which serves local beer and wine and features live music – volunteer work and coaching duties, Bobadilla makes sure to attend to his health through art, music and physical activity. “The only conflict I have is sometimes wanting to do one thing over the other. Sometimes I want

Preparing Your Child For The New School Year
➢ Well child check ➢ Dental exam ➢ Are Your Children Vaccinated? ➢ Need A Sports Physical? The new school year starts soon and making sure that your children are up to date with vaccinations is the best way to protect your child, communities and schools from outbreaks that can cause unnecessary illnesses. A vaccine-preventable disease is an infectious disease for which an effective preventive (vaccine) exists. Because of
vaccines, vaccination is one of the best ways to protect your kids from 16 potentially harmful diseases (like polio and diphtheria) that are becoming increasingly rare in the U.S. (CDC) If you are unsure of your State required school vaccines, call your child’s doctor, school, county health department or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention www.cdc.gov for more information. Schedule your appointment today before school starts. Monday – Thursday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. We wish you all a happy & healthy school year!

to just stay home all day and paint, but I know how much my body likes to work out.” While it might be exhausting to contemplate his schedule, “Playing music and even art has been a good release for me,” he says. “I use them to reflect and think. It’s my meditation. They’re all just forms of meditation. I try to utilize them to the max to get the full benefit from them. “I love to create in general,” he adds, “no matter what the subject is: painting, music, sports. And I like being there letting the kids know that someone cares and believes in them.” He credits a host of friends and colleagues for supporting his multiple endeavors. “Without these people it would be hard to do what I do, and it just shows that everyone needs someone. “The world is already a wonderful place,” he adds. “But it could be a real wonderful place.” Whether through pizza, coaching or sharing music, Bobadilla is doing his part to get us to really wonderful. • Firehouse Pizza • 734 Main St., Red Bluff • (530) 690-2477 Downtown Ale House • 343 Walnut St., Red Bluff • (530) 727-9288

Riding the rails A M T R A K A DV E N T U R E S DUSK WAS FALLING and so was snow. Blanketing the forest of firs for as far as the eye could see, it was stunningly beautiful. It happened on the #11 train traveling through Oregon in March 2016. There are plenty of other memorable moments on Amtrak. Taking the Coast Starlight from Redding opens doors to travel to Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, B.C. Or, going southbound: San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, San Diego. The seats are 23 inches wide, recline and offer tons of legroom: utter luxury compared to airline seats. Comparisons don’t stop there: you get to bring two 50-pound bags onboard as well as personal items. Bring lots of snacks. You can get up and move around between cars. You may even bring a small dog of 25 lbs. or less that can stay put beneath your seat. On some trains, you can bring your bike. The middle-of-the-night departure times from Redding’s downtown station can be a challenge. Northbound trains are scheduled to arrive in Redding at 3:06 am, southbound trains at 2:21 am, but there are often delays. How do you arrive in time, without spending too much time in the parking lot instead of in your bed sleeping? Here are some tricks of the train, garnered from personal experience.4 continued on page 30
AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

1.
The inside of the Redding station is closed, and there is no bathroom facility. But the parking lot and boarding areas are very well lit. Get to the station 30 minutes before the train is scheduled to arrive according to real-time schedules. All trains are now tracked with global positioning and you can see exactly where they are.
2.
Download the free Amtrak app. Touch “Train Status” and enter the Redding station and the number of train #14 northbound or #11 southbound, leaving the following morning. Before you go to bed, check again for the expected time of arrival. This info is updated about every four minutes. Remember, the train arrives the next day.
3.
Put your smartphone assistant to work! Set your alarm for 12:15 am. Check the train’s arrival time again, then re-set your alarm for your departure. Northbound #14 will almost always be running more than an hour late. You can also go online and check www.asm.transitdocs.com. Click on your train number to see where it is located. The good news with late trains is that with daybreak you can see the incredible scenery you will immediately enter: the Sacramento River and Lake Shasta.

Roomettes, or tiny sleeping rooms, are not worth the extra price. They include meals but don’t include what’s more important: a bathroom. I have never used one, even traveling from Chicago to Martinez. There is something about the train’s motion which seems to put everyone to sleep.
5.
Travel with a friend. Coach seats come in pairs and it ensures you will be sitting/sleeping next to each other on a crowded train. It makes the trip much more fun. Or bring your grandkids and they’ll be talking about your trip the rest of their lives.
The fun thing about trains is that you can stop and get off. It breaks up the trip and allows you to explore. For example, going north, get off at Klamath Falls, Ore., and take a bus or rent a car to Crater Lake, 60 miles from Klamath Falls. Treat yourself to a night at the Crater Lake Lodge (early reservations are a must) and remember 6,500 feet is nippy even in the summer. The stunning turquoise lake is a hidden gem. Or, taking the #11 train to Los Angeles, get off in Salinas and take an Amtrak connecting bus (or rent a car) to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. When making tricky connections, I find it’s better to use the Amtrak phone representative. Amtrak now features vacation packages, including trips to Glacier and Grand Canyon National Parks, but they can be pricey. Less expensive: Plan your trip way in advance to get the best train and hotel prices. Seniors and students get discounts and an adult can bring two children up to 12 years at half price. Train travel is a great value. Here’s the trip I want to take: Get on the train to Seattle. Spend several days with my family there, and then get on the “fast” Cascades Train to Vancouver, B.C. Then I’ll connect to a bus going to Victoria, Vancouver Island to visit Butchart Gardens. These gardens rival Holland’s Keukenhof, with no overseas travel required. I’ll use Uber to get around Victoria. The Coast Starlight may be on the Congressional budget chopping block. Now is the time to take the trip you have always wanted. • Gwen Lawler-Tough is blessed with three grandchildren.

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:

CALL —OF THE— WILD

MADDIE NIGHTINGALE - BIRD CALLER MADDIE NIGHTINGALE wasn’t much taller than a goose when her grandfather took her fishing for the first time. “I was about 3, and there’d be geese and ducks swimming around. He could call Canadian geese and speckle bellies and he wanted me to try it, so I tried it and it worked,” Maddie says. Now 16, the Foothill High School junior has become an award-winning bird-calling celebrity of sorts. “She calls better than anyone we go out with,” says her grandfather, Vince Aiello. “At the state calling contest, she’s the only female in any category. She can identify birds, which is very hard for a lot of people to do while they’re flying. She can hear birds five seconds before anybody else hears them.” Even more fascinating than Maddie’s unusual talent is the method she uses – her voice alone. “What made me unique was not
using a call, especially because I’m a girl,” Maddie says. “It’s mostly something that guys are into.” She expanded her repertoire using an online resource through Cornell University’s ornithology program. “You can look up a type of bird and it would give you the call. I would mimic it,” she says. She can mimic the call of honkers, mallards, specks, sandhill cranes and many more. Maddie has been calling in competitions since she was 10, and has received clothing and products from a variety of national companies. She made a commercial for the California state calling contest, and has called for Ducks Unlimited dinners, Pheasants Forever, the California Waterfowl Association and a Fish and Wildlife Academy graduation. She was also featured in a video for an online show, “The Fowl Life.” In Maddie’s episode,4 continued on page 34

L A S S E N V O LC A N I C N AT I O N A L PA R K ' S NEW TEAM LEADER, JIM RICHARDSON WHEN JIM RICHARDSON LANDED the top job at Lassen Volcanic National Park he was seven time zones away, surrounded by the open sea and World War II history. Richardson, 60, joined Lassen Park as superintendent in April after serving three years as superintendent of both the War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam and American Memorial Park in Saipan. He went from areas set aside to tell the stories of the Pacific Theater in World War II and protect coral reef biological diversity to a national park of volcanoes, forests, alpine lakes and bubbling mud pots. Not that Northern California is new to Richardson. He was chief ranger at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area from 2007 to 2014. “I’m particularly pleased to return to the North State, where I lived in Redding and worked at Whiskeytown,” he says.
Richardson likes to ski, hike, climb and fish, and is glad to be back in the mountains. At Lassen Park, he oversees a budget of approximately $5.4 million, 46 permanent employees and 90 seasonal workers. He succeeds Steve Gibbons, who retired in January. Lassen Park is important to the North State’s economy. It had 536,068 visitors last year, who spent $32.6 million in the gateway communities supporting 478 jobs related to food, lodging and other services, according to a federal report. Lassen also is key to the region’s identity, valued for recreation, relaxation and restoration. When people “can get away from their everyday troubles and issues – maybe even leave their cellphone turned off – and explore the natural world, it is often restorative to the soul,” Richardson says.4 continued on page 38 AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

He started with the National Park Service in 1982 as a climbing and backcountry ranger in Rocky Mountain National Park. He also worked at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Zion National Park and Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Much of his career with the Park Service was in law enforcement, which encompassed aviation, boating, search and rescue, begging coyotes and bears wandering through campgrounds. At Whiskeytown, Richardson earned the Harry Yount Award for excellence in park ranger duties. “Often our national parks are called America’s best idea, and I would confirm that,” Richardson says. He describes his superintendent style as “supportive team leader.” He values the partnership between Lassen and Whiskeytown, an example of which is allowing a pass purchased for one park to also gain entry at the other. He plans to meet and establish connections with leaders in communities near Lassen Park. Lassen Park was one of the first national parks. It celebrated its 100th birthday last summer. “That oldness is both an advantage and disadvantage,” Richardson says. There’s a long tradition of protecting resources and offering programs and places for visitors, but also a long list of maintenance needs for campgrounds, roads and buildings, he says. Cuts and funding constraints from Washington are a concern, he acknowledges. “We’re a little bit in a time of uncertainty.” Richardson says the National Park Service has been successful at weathering the ups and downs of changes in politics and funding for a century. “We’re not panicked. Our mission is the same … The most important goal is that the park is forever.” 38
www.EnjoyMagazine.net AUGUST 2017
He encourages North State residents to support the park by visiting it. Lassen Peak is seen easily from Redding and signs along Interstate 5 are regular reminders of the park, but “it’s a little bit out of the way,” Richardson says. A recent accomplishment for the park is Volcano Adventure Camp, he notes. Completed last year, it is providing outdoor experiences for youth groups this summer. Richardson grew up in Lincoln, Neb. His family spent summers camping, often in national parks. “We would go to every corner of the country … It was that outdoor-experience base that led me to a career in the parks.” He earned a bachelor’s degree in parks and recreation management from University of Nebraska. He and wife, Cindy, have been married 35 years and have two daughters, Hilary, who lives in Iwakura, Japan, and Kyli, who lives in Santa Cruz. “They got to grow up in some of the most special places in the world, our national parks,” Richardson says. • Lassen Volcanic National Park, www.nps.gov/lavo

IT UP CHANGE CAN BE GOOD
FOR MANY OF US, particularly those of us who are educators or parents of school-age kids, August represents the beginning of the year more than January. So why wait until the actual new year to change up your look? Sure, there are advantages to a signature look, but experimenting with hair and makeup is often the first step toward finding yourself on a deeper level—not to mention a whole lot of fun. But what drives a transformation and how exactly does one pull that off ? Steal a tip or two from a reinvention playbook. MAKEUP: Some women are chameleons with their looks because they enjoy rebelling against the norm. Some people change things up for the rush they get. Some do it to find themselves or show creativity. Even if your most daring eyeshadow color is taupe, a small change can have big benefits. So how to start? YouTube is a great place to pick up tips. Find someone who has facial features similar to your own and discover new ways to apply makeup and new colors to experiment with. Don’t expect to master a tutorial in one day—getting variety doesn’t mean conquering a video a day. And know your audience. If you have a more creative job, experiment with vibrant colors. More conservative? Try highlighting or contouring. A shadow palette is also an easy way to try multiple hues, but force yourself to try each square. Swipe more dramatic shades just around the corners of the eye versus the entire lid. Or reverse your course and darken outward instead of in the usual crease. Love neutrals? Switch your finish. Buy various textures such as shimmery and velvet for eyes, glossy and matte for lips. HAIR: Let’s start with the haircut chameleon and then move on to color. Contrary to popular belief, the best time to reinvent yourself is during big life transitions, such as a new job or new city, or after a break up. And don’t consult friends before doing something drastic—just go for it! Their input could make you second-guess yourself. Going under the scissors isn’t easy for everyone. To change your look without taking off a lot of length, ask your stylist for shoulder length with long layers. This creates a soft look, giving you the entry-level update you crave without sacrificing inches below, and it’s perfect for up-dos; if there’s a huge difference in between the length of the layers, pieces easily fall out of a style.4 continued on page 42 AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

As for color, if you’re unsure, try using an app for the ultimate (and noncommittal) way to try on a look you’re mulling over. Clairol My Shade offers advice on how to go from your current color to your desired one, factoring in things like your hair texture as well as your own natural highlights and lowlights. There is also a QR code scanner in the app, so as you stroll the aisle in the drugstore, you can “try on” whichever Clairol box catches your eye. Unnatural shades may be trendy, but they are also high maintenance. Those types of hues have the largest color molecules, meaning they fade the fastest, so that lilac shade may fade to gray in mere weeks. A low-maintenance way to try bolder hues is to add streaks to underneath hair, which the world sees only when hair is pulled back. To keep color healthy, update your base color no sooner than every four weeks, and wait at least 10 weeks to highlight—a process that is harsher on hair because the lighter the color, the more it strips your hair. When hair is damaged, the cuticle gets holes in it and color molecules slip out. Do a deep-conditioning treatment once a week. Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in

the microwave for 15 seconds and sleep with it. Shampoo the excess out in the morning. The result? Ultrasoft locks. As your hair color changes, give your makeup an update, too. Different hair colors bring out different tones in your skin. If you’re a natural blonde going brunette, you’ll need a lot more blush and darker eyebrows, for example. And where brown eyeliner might work for a redhead, black is better for blondes. How confident you feel affects how you interact with others, so whatever you choose to do, be sure you feel stunning. Remember when you were 14 and experimenting with makeup was fun? Revisit that young, wide-eyed teen and live a little! Change is good. • Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching. She is currently working on her doctorate in English Education.

s ' t e L et G ud Lo J O A N J E T T TO R O C K THE REDDING CIVIC “I COME FROM A PLACE where rock ‘n’ roll means something,” Joan Jett proclaimed during her 2015 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “It means more than music, more than fashion, more than the pose. Rock ‘n’ roll is an idea and an ideal. Sometimes, because we love the music and we make the music, we forget the political impact it has around the world. Rock is all about being an outsider looking in, about standing up against the status quo. About getting loud.” The veteran songwriter, singer, guitarist and record producer remembers being told at a young age that women couldn’t and shouldn’t play rock ‘n’ roll. “Even as a kid, it was so illogical to me. It’s like, what do you mean? That girls can’t master the instruments? You don’t mean they can’t master the instrument. What you mean is they’re not allowed, socially. It’s a societal thing.” She also believes there should be more women in the Hall of Fame, and more women in rock. “They’re out there, they just don’t get the notice the pop girls do. Go to any city and there’s an all-girl rock band. It’s just a matter of society wanting to hear that kind of music. But people’s tastes change, so you have to just do what you love and hope other people love it, too.” Jett formed her first serious band, The Runaways, at age 15. The all-girl line-up included herself on guitar and vocals, Sandy West on drums, Cherie Currie on lead vocals, Jackie Fox on bass guitar and Lita Ford on guitar. Ahead of their time, The Runaways performed a hardrock sound during an era when disco music was king. They also felt dismissed by audiences and critics because of their young age and their gender, and the public didn’t seem to know what to do with five girls who sang about sex, rebelling and partying.4 continued on page 48 AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

As the band evolved, Jett began emerging as the group’s lead singer. She was already a powerful force behind the scenes, writing most of the band’s songs. The Runaways broke up in 1979, around disagreement about the direction of their musical style. Jett’s next challenge was to put together a solo music career, starting with three songs she wrote during a visit to London with former Sex Pistols Paul Cook and Steve Jones. Back in Los Angeles, she begin creating more songs while she was hired to produce the first and only record released by the Los Angeles punk band, The Germs. With her foot in the Southern California music scene, she connected with long-time music producer and songwriter Kenny Laguna, who took a serious interest in working with her to get a record label to distribute her solo project. Despite their hard work, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts’ “Bad Reputation” album was met with rejection by 23 record companies. In response, Jett and Laguna decided to start their own record label, calling it Blackheart Records. With that new venture, Jett became the first female artist to own and have direct control over an independent record company. After a year of touring in support of Bad Reputation, she and Laguna put together a second album. “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” became a huge hit, driven in large part by the title track, which hit the top of the pop charts in early 1982. She had two more hit singles that year with her version of Tommy James’ “Crimson and Clover” and Gary Glitter’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah).” They released three additional albums between 1983 and 1986, and Jett returned with the album “Up Your Alley” in 1988. It was a Top 20 album on the Billboard 200, and was her second platinum certified

album in the United States. The album featured the Top 10 single “I Hate Myself For Loving You.” After the release of “The Hit List” in 1990, Jett charted again with the release of “Unvarnished” in 2013. In addition to building her own career, she has worked as a producer for groups like Bikini Kill and L7, along with several other female-led rock bands that drew inspiration from the punk-glam rock sound of the Runaways. Recalls Jett, “In the early days of the Runaways, our audience had never seen anything like girls playing rock and roll. We put it right in their face, man.” Which is where Joan Jett is still putting it now. • Joan Jett • Friday, August 11 Redding Civic Auditorium • www.reddingcivic.com

Why I Care My Personal Journey Into Caregiving
circa 1970 Sharon and Gram
I began my career in home care completely by accident. I was raised by a single mom and spent countless afternoons with Gram and Gramps; I learned to cook with them, fish with them and Gram was even my Room Grandma, bringing cupcakes to school on special occasions. I was extremely close to them. In my late 20s when Gramps was in his 70s, he decided to hire a tree trimmer. Much to Gram’s alarm, he brought out his ladder the day before the tree trimmer was to arrive to “take care of the low branches”. Her worst fears came true when he fell out of the tree. Luckily, there were no life threatening injuries, but he did shatter his ankle and got knocked on the head pretty good.
After Gramps was settled in the hospital, I went to stay with Gram. It was there that home care began to affect my life. I drove Gram to and from the hospital, made sure she had a healthy dinner (“No Gram, ice cream doesn't count.”), kept her company and made sure she took her pills. She was a healthy lady, but quite shaken up not to have her husband home safe and sound. I began to wonder… what do families do if no one can come to help? Who would have driven Gram to see Gramps? I thought how lucky we were to live close by and be close and be able to help each other. And when in 2008, Gramps was needing help again, a caregiver from my staff and I traveled two hours to Yuba City so he could stay safe and comfortable in his home. Last year, my beloved Gram came to my home on hospice. With the help of amazing caregivers, I was able to keep her with me in her final days. My grandparents have inspired me in so many ways. Out of their commitment and love for me, grew my passion to help families. And in the end, it was this love and compassion I was able to give back to them in every way that matters. As I continue to grow and learn and help more families, I realize my grandparents’ final gift was allowing me to help them. I now understand even more the journey we are all on as we care for our aging loved ones. Trust me when I say, anyone I hire I would send to my own family.

THE CROWN JEWEL
B U R N E Y FA L L S I N M C A R T H U R - B U R N E Y FA L L S S TAT E PA R K LIVING IN CALIFORNIA, it’s easy to take for granted its sweeping landscapes and natural beauty. Between mountain peaks and sandy shores, a glut of national and state parks, aesthetes and adventurers alike grow spoiled. Even when her every treasure seems uncovered, and we think we’ve seen all she has to offer, this state still surprises with some hidden grove or watering hole just around the bend.
Twice as wide as its 129-foot drop, Burney Falls is not an easily hidden waterfall, and the roar of its rushing water can be heard before it is seen. And yet Burney Falls is something of a hidden gem, tucked away northeast of Redding. The crown jewel of McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, a 910-acre forest that includes Lake Britton, Burney Falls is the outpouring of Burney Creek, just another trout4 continued on page 52 AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

FUELED BY UNDERWATER SPRINGS, THIS WATERFALL CAN MOVE 100 MILLION GALLONS IN A DAY.
stream along the Pacific Crest Trail. Yet even in the hot summer months, as Burney Creek dries to a trickle, Burney Falls still roars. Fueled by underwater springs, this waterfall can move 100 million gallons in a day. Safe to say there is nothing like Burney Falls in California, and maybe even in the world. In fact, President Theodore Roosevelt was so impressed by Burney that he called it the eighth wonder of the world. In a photo, the falls appear remote and removed, untouched and preserved. And it is – but the falls are also a short walk from where you’ll park your car. It almost seems unfair that Burney is so accessible. This is the kind of beauty you want to earn, that deserves working up a sweat. But despite the park’s $8 entry fee and short jaunt to the falls, Burney offers a sense of isolation.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net AUGUST 2017
While the short, paved switchback to the bottom of the falls makes the “hike” easy enough for any age and skill, the bottom of the falls provides a meditative space. The expansive volcanic face rises above you, and before you the sapphire pool seems still. Mist cools on a summer day, and casts spectral colors as it filters the sunlight. The roaring crash of water drowns out all sound, and while sitting on one of the boulders at the edge of the pool, one gets the sense they are entirely alone, with nothing before them but the tremendous force of nature rushing over the rising precipice. At its fullest, Burney Creek splits in two and cascades about 130 feet below, but dozens, if not hundreds, of rivulets pour out of the dark volcanic rock from secret sources hidden by moss and shadow. Water rushes and trickles from every facet of the cliff, creating the image of something out of a fairytale.4 ontinued on page 54

A 1.3-MILE LOOP BEGINS FROM THE OVERLOOK, WINDS AROUND AND DOWN TO THE BASE, FOLLOWING THE STREAM, AND UP AND OVER THE CREEK ITSELF.
The blue pool below the falls keeps a cool 42 degrees, and posted signs encourage hikers not to swim in the water. Some people dip their toes just enough for a photo opportunity, and in the mornings, fly fishermen will wade in the shallows. A 1.3-mile loop begins from the overlook, winds around and down to the base, following the stream, and up and over the creek itself. The hike is simple enough, but provides different views and perspectives of the falls, to watch swallows dart around the face of the falls, or glance at eagles’ nests in the bare branches reaching above Burney Creek. The beauty of Burney Falls is enough that some would hike many miles to see it, and yet the hike to its base can be made in the most casual sneakers. The only tools or supplies needed to visit the falls are maybe a small lunch, a camera and some sunscreen.

Burney is certainly the allure of McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, but the 910 acres also offers six miles of hiking trails through evergreen forest, and a portion of Lake Britton is open to boating activities. In 2007, the park built 24 new cabins, which rent for about $100 a night and accommodate 4-6 people. There are also more than 100 developed campsites with no utilities. But of course, even a day trip to the falls can provide the kind of natural nature that many explorers and adventures have spent their lives searching for. • www.burney-falls.com

I grew up in Los Angeles; A big
city filled with lots of people with big dreams. In high school I played sports, was in the choir and, in my Junior year, I performed in West Side Story. It was the first musical I had ever seen and I loved it. The moment I stepped in front of an audience I felt a connection that only music provides.
After high school I joined a band and began performing and recording, but the struggles of being a part-time student, part-time waitress, and part-time musician made my dreams seem impossible. Luckily I moved to Redding and enrolled at Shasta College where I joined the Puente Club and discovered my talent for writing. In high school, I hated English class, and felt I would never be a good writer; Professor Kylee Duran-Cox changed that. She taught me proper English conventions, and how to be a confident writer and person. I also met Professors Elizabeth and Robert Waterbury and found a new family in the Music Department. They have helped me find my place in music, and brought my musical aspirations to fruition. When considering which university to transfer to next, I’m looking for one with equally devoted and caring professors like the ones I found at Shasta College. Ashleigh Ortiz Shasta College Knight

Goodness DUDE’S DRIVE INN IN REDDING
NOSTALGIA – a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. Dude’s Drive Inn in Redding is home to nostalgia and good food. It all started in 1964, but didn’t officially open until August 24, 1965. Lewis “Dude” McCaslin and Viola “Vi” McCaslin purchased the land at 1644 Hartnell Ave. and signed a contract with the Dari-Delite franchise. After a few years, they changed the name to Dude’s. “My grandfather’s nickname was ‘Dude,’ because he was a really cool dude,” third generation owner Roxanne McCaslin says. Back in the day, you could get six hamburgers for a buck and Dude’s employees wore all-white uniforms. Dude’s was on the main highway through Redding at the time, and was there before
McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants came to Redding. Dude and Vi sold their business to their son, Ron McCaslin, in 1977. Ron owned Dude’s until he passed away on February 25, 2015, at which time daughter Roxanne took over the business. “He sat there all day long and chit-chatted with customers,” Roxanne says of her dad. “He was a funny guy. He was a comedian. He called everyone, ‘kiddo.’ He was a gentle soul.” On any given day, one could walk into Dude’s and smell food being prepared, hear orders being taken by friendly employees and see pictures on the walls of long-time employees and customers. It also has a drive-through. “It’s not like any typical restaurant. It’s a family business with everyone interconnected in the group,” says Roxanne.4 continued on page 58
AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“All the employees here are really friendly. Good service and good food,” says crewmember Regina Amico, who has been working at Dude’s for almost three years. Dude’s has between 11 and 13 employees. “Everyone learns how to cook,” Roxanne says. “Everyone has to learn how to do everything.” Employees agree that what sets Dude’s apart from other hamburger joints are the fresh meats and ingredients, family atmosphere and variety of choices. “We use fresh meat, make our burgers to order and everything is super fresh,” says crewmember April Woodcook. The sign outside reads, “3 of the same, 4th one free,” which includes cheeseburgers, corn dogs, fries and burritos. Roxanne says specialties include shakes and crushed ice. “That’s a big deal,” she says. Menu items also include the hamoneer, which is a hamburger with ham that they slice themselves, pastrami sandwiches, chili dogs, polish dogs, tacos, gems (tater tots), burgers, fries and more. “Dude’s is always trying to improve the business,” Roxanne says.

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
C A R O LY N WA R D ’ S G O A L T O R A C E I N A L L 5 0 S TAT E S I S A C H I E V E D THE WOMAN FROM REDDING ran hard on soft Maui sand. It slipped beneath her feet with each stride, robbing her of traction, but she bore on, eyeing the finish not that far ahead. She thought she led the race, and she was pretty sure she was set to win in her class. But Carolyn Ward knew for sure she was going to triumph anyway, much more than in this one 10-kilometer event in the state of Hawaii. She was poised to finish her personal goal of running one race in every state in the country. Such a crowning victory would likely never have happened if not for the three Redding women clustered at the finish line and cheering her on. Long-time running friends Marge Dunlap and Arlene Bidwell brimmed with excitement for her, and Nancy
Ruffner asked race officials at the finish to announce Ward’s triumph. “They handed me the microphone,” Ruffner says. Ruffner says she, Dunlap and Bidwell had just done a shorter 5K, so they would be sure to be there when Ward came in. All four women share the love of running, she says, especially in Hawaii. “How could anyone not want to do that?” Ruffner asks. “The gun goes off and the adrenaline starts going all over the place. It's just fun.” Ward dashed out of the sand, across the parking lot, made one last turn into the finish chute. She finished Valley to the Sea, her 50th official state race, first in her class, ages 7099. A fifth member of the California running clique, Laura Miller, was still out on the course finishing a half-marathon. 4 continued on page 62
AUGUST 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

For someone who just achieved the fulfillment of a 50-state quest, Ward’s response was surprisingly sedate. “It was nothing special,” she says. “It was small race, about 500 runners. It was flat. We ran out on the road, turned around and came back on the beach.” She pauses for a moment before adding, “I don’t get excited about much.” She leaves the excitement up to her friends. “I was elated for her,” says Dunlap. “I felt it was unfinished business for her – and she did it!” These five women have run together for 10 to 40 years, in different races—5K, 10K, half marathon—and now race in classes ranging from age 60 to 80. They met at races or through the Shasta Wonderland Elite Athletic Team (SWEAT) running club in Redding. As good friends do, they support each other’s personal pursuits. Ward says her life of running began about the time she turned 40, after her doctor advised her to exercise. “Walking wasn’t much fun, so I decided to run,” she recalls. Her husband, Mort, ran with her. The couple’s running got serious after they retired. “We sold the house and everything,” she says. “We bought a big motor home and lived in it full-time for six years. It’s a good lifestyle.” They set the goal to run in all the states and traveled all over the country to achieve it. For Ward, the trip to the southern states stands out as her favorite. “The people were super, super friendly at this race in Mississippi,” she says. “They invited us to their homecoming football game, and they invited us to go tailgating with them. They treated us like family.” The Wards had only five states to go in the lower 48 when their quest together was tragically cut short. While on a training run, Mort suffered a heart attack and died. A grieving widow, Ward sold the motor home and settled back into Redding. But within a year, she was back on mission, traveling in a smaller motor home with friends. Together, they checked Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas off her list. “She’s not the kind of person to go, ‘Oh, what am I going to do now?’” says Ruffner.
What Ward did next, after about a two-year break, was take on Alaska alone, driving that little motor home from Redding to Fairbanks and back in August 2012. Part of this nearly 5,600-mile trek included the Alaskan Highway, which took her out into some of the most remote regions of the 49th state. Alone. “I saw bears and buffalo and moose,” she says. “I knew if I broke down there’d be nothing to do but wait for somebody to come by, but I wasn’t that worried. And I didn’t have any trouble.” “She’s one of those calm people,” says Bidwell. “Carolyn’s an amazing woman,” says Ruffner. “She wired her own house and sewed her own drapes.” “She can do anything,” says Miller. “She put in the floors, did the floors, and built her patio. She’s like the original Rosie the Riveter.” After returning from Alaska, Ward figured she was as close to her goal as she would ever get. She told her friends, “I can’t drive a motor home to Hawaii.” Years later, at a party, Dunlap urged her to run that 50th state. She and Bidwell said they would come along. “I said, ‘You guys make the arrangements, and I’ll go,’” says Ward. Minus Miller, who moved downstate a few years ago and runs with them only occasionally now, these sturdy Redding seniors still run a few miles on the Sacramento River Trail every week. They are still close friends who do a lot of things together, but running is always there. Ward says she runs twice a week. Dunlap beams, “We just don’t know how to stop.” • Richard DuPertuis is a born writer and a new resident of Redding.

T ra v e l CHICO AIR MUSEUM THE CHICO AIR MUSEUM offers a treat for folks fascinated by planes. Driving up to the museum at the north end of the Chico airport, you will see several world class military aircraft, both American and Russian. A recently restored F-86 Sabre jet, effectively providing air superiority during the Korean War and a A-7 Corsair capable of carrier-based operations for years in the Vietnam War are just two of the many airplanes. Once you step inside the cavernous hangar, you will see several vintage airplanes dating back to the early 1900s. The 1917 SPAD XIII is meticulously replicated to look authentic, providing a historic link to the “good old days” of open cockpit flying. The largest and arguably most impressive indoor aircraft at the museum is the F-15 Strike Eagle, built by McDonnell Douglas and used extensively in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq. Standing under the wing of this monstrous all-weather multirole
strike fighter is humbling. World War II aircraft include the Grumman AF Guardian and a Vultee BT-13 Valiant trainer airplane. Several indoor room exhibits house interesting displays on the Chico Army Air Field (operating from April 1942 to the end of 1945), smoke jumpers and the long abandoned intercontinental ballistic missile (Titan I-ICBM) site, located just a couple of miles away. A fully stocked aviation library beckons those wanting to research aircraft and pilots of bygone eras. More than 100 airplane models are displayed at several locations, with each airplane expertly assembled, painted and decaled. Children and adults can enjoy the up-close experience of sitting in a P-2V Neptune maritime patrol and antisubmarine aircraft cockpit. Your copilot can sit next to you as you gaze in bewilderment at the myriad of switches, levers and control devices. Continuing the “cockpit experience,” children,4 continued on page 70

with docent help, step onto the wing of a Thorp T-211, sit in a tight cockpit and work the ailerons and elevator control stick. A large table invites children to color outlines of their favorite airplanes, butterflies and helicopters. If you are lucky, the large hangar doors will be opened and you can step onto the tarmac to observe incoming or outgoing aircraft. Worldclass air tankers actively use the Chico Airfield as one of their North State air bases. At other times, local pilots taxiing up close to the hangar in vintage and modern aircraft add realism and excitement. On rare occasions, you might be present when a U.S. Air Force U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft from the 99th Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale Air Force base practices landing approaches, cruising quite low to the Chico runway. The gift shop includes a variety of model aircraft kits, T-shirts, books on aviation and Chico Air Museum caps and shirt pins. If you are an educator or interested parent, ask about the school and group museum tours.• Chico Air Museum • (530) 345-6468 • www.chicoairmuseum.org Hours vary • Admission is free.

TO KNOW HIM is to love him. And to know him is to be fascinated by this wonderful friend of mine who loves deeply and fully and speaks directly from the heart. Meet Shasta County’s own Roger Slagle. He comes to us via Hollywood, India and Alaska, and is raising his daughter Amanda and St. Bernards at his home in Shingletown. Slagle is currently filming the movie “Rude Dog,” featuring local actors, our semi-pro soccer team, and a 184-pound-dog named Ruger. I spent some time on the set recently, and was fascinated by his intense, yet joyful directing style. It was pretty wild! I have a very brief appearance in this film, and the excitement of the movie set was exhilarating. Rude Dog is scheduled for completion this fall. The final scenes will be shot in the cooler weather of autumn, when temperatures are under 84 degrees, so the film can receive the “no animals harmed” stamp of approval. You may have heard of the indie films “Sparrow Hawk,” “The Secret of Wilson Hill” and “Divia.” These are some of Slagle’s most recent films, and he has written, directed, and acted in all of them. “Divia” is an amazing film about the forgotten children of India and their fate at the hands of cartels dealing in human trafficking. My introduction to Slagle’s work was through a short film entitled “KARMA” - adult themed, adult language and very compelling.
74
www.EnjoyMagazine.net AUGUST 2017
The common denominator in all of Slagle’s work is the “community film” concept, much like the volunteer theater groups we see in our town today. “Community film” is a relatively new concept and it may have had its debut at the Valley Eleven Cinemas with the premiere of “The Secret of Wilson Hill.” Slagle’s films allow local talent to be immortalized on the silver screen, and Slagle has helped to develop a large and vibrant community of actors, composers, editors and film production crews who believe in the movie-making process. Slagle deserves the credit for introducing the idea to this part of the entertainment world. If you are ever approached by him to be part of one of his films, go for it. You will be amazed by the process and richer for the experience. Slagle has been called one of the best screenwriters in the business, and writes daily. Here’s what Trevor Hughes, winner of the New York Film Festival of 2010 had to say: “Roger is a special person. He not only writes with his heart, he is a director who directs with his heart. That gives him a place in my heart.” He has a place in my heart, too. Roger Slagle is one of our own unique treasures. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16. He is married, has three children, and contributes his energy and time to Redding Recreation. You can hear him on the Billy and Patrick Show weekday mornings on Q97.

WHAT’S COOKIN’

recipe AUGUST 2017
This recipe makes a great savory appetizer or “meatless Monday” main dish. Use the smaller cremini mushrooms for the appetizer version and portobellos (mature creminis) for the main dish version. For the recipe below, I used the larger portobellos. To prepare as an appetizer, plan on using 16-18 of the smaller creminis. The filling – cherry tomatoes, herbs and cheese – is easy to prepare, and the roasted tomatoes make a great side dish on their own, served with fish, chicken or tossed with pasta.
Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS FOR MUSHROOMS STEP 1: Start by preparing the oven roasted tomato recipe. See right column. STEP 2: Once the tomatoes are roasting, prep mushrooms by gently wiping the outside of the caps with a damp paper towel to brush off any surface dirt, and then remove the stems. With the larger portobellos, you may leave the gills, but if you prefer, remove the dark brown gills. Use a spoon to remove the gills from the inside of the cap, scraping out until clean. Once clean, place them on a rimmed baking sheet. STEP 3: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot and garlic. Brush mushroom caps inside and out with the olive oil mixture, using all the mixture. Evenly distribute the shallots. Sprinkle each cap, inside and out, with salt and pepper.
DIRECTIONS FOR TOMATOES STEP 1: Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Toss halved tomatoes with oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Spread tomatoes on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until shriveled and edges are just starting to turn a bit brown. They will keep a week in the refrigerator. * Herbs de Provence is a classic French blend that includes herbs such as thyme, fennel, rosemary, basil, lavender and others. This is available at most markets or you can make a version of your own. I use a mortar and pestle to bring out the flavors of dried seasonings.
Lana Granfors has resided in Redding since moving here from Texas in 1975. She devotes time to her passions: family, travel, gardening and cooking. A self-taught cook, her recipes are created with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, ease of preparation and of course, flavor.
STEP 4: Pre-heat the broiler. Broil the mushrooms, using the rack, second to the top level, for 3-5 minutes, until the edges start to brown. They will start to release moisture and get juicy. Remove from the oven. STEP 5: Change the oven temperature to 375 degrees. While preheating, fill the caps with the herb-roasted tomatoes and 4-5 dots of goat cheese. Sprinkle with the fresh herbs. STEP 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until hot and the cheese has softened. If preferred, brush with a little extra olive oil on the edges to make them shine. Serve.

GIVING BACK

WHERE COMMUNITY GROWS F R O M T H E G R O U N D U P FA R M S I N C H I C O
IT IS A WARM SPRING weekend day in Northern California, and in a quiet Chico neighborhood, one of From the Ground Up Farms’ biggest gardens is teeming with the activity of bustling volunteers. “Our goal today is making a big mess,” says From the Ground Up Farms Board President Tami Donnelson. Despite what she says, though, the garden looks perfectly laid out on a quarter acre of land. It is organized with budding artichokes and fruit trees along the sides and back, tomatoes and other vegetables in the middle, leafy greens growing towards the front, a fire pit and sitting areas. Throughout the week, people in the neighborhood swing by and relax with a glass of wine or play Loteria. “People who have lived out here for years didn’t know each other and now they hang out here together every night in the summer,” says From the Ground Up Farms Executive Director Jenny Lowrey. What makes From the Ground Up Farms especially unique is that all of the fruits and vegetables that the garden grows are available to anyone and everyone, free of charge. “It’s encouraged to give what you can with a monetary donation or pulling a few weeds, and half the experience is
walking the gardens and picking your own fruits and vegetables,” Lowrey adds. Lowrey got back to her roots in a roundabout way, working in the corporate world when she was 15 and moving up the ladder. However, as she was making more money and obtaining more material possessions, her health started to suffer. It seemed as though she was living the American Dream, but she was also traveling all the time and eating quick, cheap and easy-to-fix meals. Lowrey’s health plummeted due to her stressful lifestyle. At almost 300 pounds, she developed Type II diabetes and was constantly battling different cancers and diseases by taking up to 15 different medications a day. Lowrey knew there had to be a better way to live. One day, Lowrey had enough and moved to Lake Concow Campground in Oroville. She took a year to reevaluate her life and fell into gardening. “They had a garden, I took three hours to build and water it, and it cleared my mind,” she says in a way that demonstrates a true epiphany. “I found my health again.” Along with growing her own food and cooking from scratch again, Lowrey slowly started improving her food regimen by substituting diet soda with water or healthy tea, going for a walk every day, and buying organic products.4 continued on page 86

“The weight just fell off. It’s amazing what happened when I just eliminated the stress and changed my nutrition,” she says. In less than two years, Lowrey lost 150 pounds and decided to help others improve their diets. With the help of Todd Hall and Molly Stokes in the neighborhood off of Kentfield Drive in Chico, Lowrey launched its first community garden. In 2013, From the Ground Up Farms solidified into a nonprofit. “We bought this property without caring exactly what it will be,” says Hall. “This was an ugly lot and we grabbed this opportunity without being concerned with what’s going to happen down the road.” They built the garden up with the income from selling produce, and it became a beloved part of the neighborhood. However, it was a lot of work and they were feeling burnt out when Lowrey came into their lives. Using the “Keep It Simple Sunshine” (KISS) model, Northern California policymakers are starting to take notice and borrow From the Ground Up Farms’ simplistic, sustainable and ethical business structure. Not only is the nonprofit providing organic and nutritious food that’s accessible to everyone, but the act of gardening restores the body and mind, which can especially help people suffering from disability or mental illness. 86
www.EnjoyMagazine.net AUGUST 2017
“It’s nurturing, teaches proper socialization, responsibility, exercise… gardening does so many things,” Lowrey says. Soon after launching the Kentfield Garden, a Chico homeless shelter asked if it could help them build and manage its own garden – volunteers showed up with 18 beds full of food and started planting. From the Ground Up tries to stick with staple foods that are easy to grow and low maintenance, and depend on donations, grant money or a property’s budget to provide the irrigation, soil, nutritional supplements and tools. “We don’t leave when the (grant) money runs out. We figure it out,” she adds. “We throw seeds in the ground, grow food and give it away.” • www.fromthegroundupfarms.org.
