editor’s note october 2017
THANKFULNESS. That’s a word that generally seems best suited for November and Thanksgiving. But it’s a word that’s perfectly fitting for not just that holiday, but for this year, and really, every year, every day. We have so much to be thankful for, like realizing we’ve been doing this thing for 11 years! And boy has it been a ride... it’s been fun, it’s been hard, it’s been eyeopening and it has been an adventure. When we started Enjoy, it was with the dual purpose of reminding the North State of all we have to offer and sharing it with the world around us. There is such a beauty to the area we live in, there are amazing things to do here and most importantly, we have incredible people who are doing really big things. Sometimes the world around us feels dark and negative. But the beauty of Enjoy is it shines a light into that darkness and reminds people of the good that surrounds them. You can almost feel a “Samwise Gamgee monologue” coming on – “that there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo … and it’s worth fighting for.” Our communities are fighting to make that light shine brighter. There’s a shift happening, an awakening that’s bringing us together in a new and unexpected way. New plans, new developments, new ideas, all with the focus of bringing a “renaissance” into the hearts of our communities. Bringing hope. We choose to focus on that hope, even when people try to remind us of the negative. Hey, it’s much easier to find the dirt than the gold, but we’ll choose the gold. We are thankful that so many others choose to find the gold as well. That they work tirelessly
to bring about positive change. That’s what we do at Enjoy. We try to find the gold. And we are thankful for our advertisers who’ve partnered with us for a lot of the same reasons. Sure, they want to sell their products or services (who doesn’t want to do that to keep their business going?). But by choosing to spend advertising dollars with Enjoy, they’ve joined with us to help spread the good stuff. And that makes them part of this team. You, our readers, do the same thing. You help spread the good stuff. You share our stories on social media about all the great things going on in our neck of the woods. You know there are tough things we’re dealing with, but you step in, you step up and you keep spreading the love. The love of your community, the love of positive stories, the love of Enjoy. We are ever so thankful for that. As we look forward to another year of bringing Enjoy to you, we are excited for the adventures ahead. We are grateful to be able to do what we love. We are thankful for people and businesses who have partnered with a community who chooses to look on “the bright side” and make that our reality. Thank you for allowing us to do what we do. Thank you for supporting us wholeheartedly. Thank you to a community of dreamers, believers, thinkers, doers, creators and inventors for believing the North State is something beautiful and something to Enjoy. We are thankful!

FA L L C O LO R S I N T H E N O RT H S TAT E AUTUMN IN CALIFORNIA pales in comparison with New England, right? That’s the notion, but John Poimiroo isn’t buying it. “California has the longest lasting, most dependable, most diverse and most spectacular autumn in North America,” says Poimiroo, who launched CaliforniaFallColor.com in 2009 to bring attention to the state’s flashy foliage. Using reports and images from photographers and other volunteer color spotters throughout the state, the website provides updates on the best places to see California’s autumn color at its peak. The seasonal site has earned honors from the Outdoor Writers Association of California. California is color-strong due to its diverse terrain — mountains, valleys and foothills. On the East Coast, fall color descends broadly by latitude. In California, color drops by elevation, beginning at high elevation in the Sierras in late summer and then slowly rolling into lower locales. That translates to a long season. “First peak is often before autumn begins and it lasts until December, dropping by 500 feet in elevation a week, on average,” says Poimiroo, a travel/outdoor communications consultant. So if you miss the blast of color in one location, you still have time to catch it in another. The state’s mix of varied climates results in another plus
— a rich diversity of plants, many of which look fabulous in fall. California lacks a widespread reputation as an autumn power player, however. Poimiroo thinks that’s because so much of the population lives along the coast, where there’s little leaf action. Visitors go to the mountains mostly in summer (camping, hiking, fishing) or in winter (skiing), so there’s not a connection to California’s colorful fall, Poimiroo says. “They’re missing out,” he says. “The beauty of fall color inspires, warms the heart and fills the soul.” The Shasta Cascade region is a prime place to experience colorful autumns, Poimiroo says. Leaves dazzle in ShastaTrinity National Forest, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Trinity Alps and Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. “My very favorite time of the year at Whiskeytown is fall,” says Matt Switzer, interpretive ranger. “The moderate temperatures are a reward for surviving another long, hot North State summer, and the plants are putting on one last glorious display before settling down for winter.” As fall settles in, the dark-green foliage of black oaks on the hillsides around Whiskeytown Lake transitions to sunsetorange. Near creeks, alders become yellow-orange. Along trails, dogwoods go red and bigleaf maples turn golden.4 continued on page 18 OCTOBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“These (bigleaf maple) trees, which commonly grow over 60 feet high, light up the canopy with beautiful yellow leaves that can grow up to a foot across,” Switzer says. Switzer recommends Papoose Pass Tail from Sheep Camp and James K. Carr Trail to Whiskeytown Falls for bigleaf-maple viewing. Terri Thesken of the Shasta Chapter of the California Native Plant Society likes Whiskeytown (Davis Gulch Trail) for fall color, as well as Lassen Park (Sifford Lake Trail) and Lake Shasta (Bailey Cove and Waters Gulch trails). Those locations, plus Sacramento Ditch Trail (below Shasta Dam) and Middle McCloud Falls Trail, are nice destinations for fall-color trips, she says. “Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year,” Thesken says. Many California native plants have a colorful side, she notes. Bigleaf maple, mountain dogwood, black oak, Brewer’s oak, aspen, Oregon grape, skunkbush, redbud, spicebush, spirea, golden ferns, California wild grape and Indian rhubarb put on a nice show before taking a winter rest, Thesken says. Poimiroo says quaking aspen is the go-to tree for serious color spotters. In California, aspens are found “in a wide range of colors — yellow, of course, but also gold, orange, pink and

red to crimson,” he says. He expects 2017 to be a good year for autumn color. “The big winter we had this past year indicates — from past observations — that color will last longer at each location.” Thesken notes that in drought years, trees such as black oak can go directly from green to brown. To dial in on what to see and where to see it, Poimiroo suggests visiting CaliforniaFallColor.com. The website reports on locations as they begin to change color and when they reach peak color. For travel plans, use the website to look back in time by reviewing archived reports that show when places typically are at their best. •

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: FULL OF HEART… You’ve heard the adage “Home is where the heart is.” Well my heart has always been in Redding. The truth is, I didn’t really know it until I left. At 8 years old I could probably have recited the entire closed circuit television ad for Redding’s ‘golden circle.’ My family never had to travel far for adventure and I know these experiences are what brought us so close. During the 14 years of higher education and advanced training necessary to become a plastic surgeon, I felt privileged to make several stops across the country. I will never forget the friends and experiences along the way, but when it came time to choose a community in which to open my practice and start my own family, there was only one choice. It’s good to be home and it’s an honor to serve the community that made me who I am today.

P E O P L E ’ S R I V E R B O AT H I S T O R Y AS MORNING STARTED settling in on the Saturday of the July 4th weekend, a small crowd of Red Bluff locals gathered around the shantyboat of the People’s River History Project to watch it launch into the Sacramento River from the boating area at the Sacramento River Discovery Center, the start of a multi-day journey to the delta area near Sacramento. The boat, made of reclaimed materials over a period of a couple of years by a team led by Wes Modes of the Digital Arts and New Media program at UC Santa Cruz, was easy to spot in its shady campsite adjacent to the launch site. As he finished off his last sips of coffee, Modes stood at the edge of the boat and spoke of the project to the growing crowd filled with curiosity about both the journey and Modes himself. “This is my summer vacation,” Modes said. He is a
lecturer at UC Santa Cruz during the school year but he’s logged more than 1,000 miles on the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers in this particular shantyboat. “It is roughly designed in a pattern of a wooden-hulled, barge-bottomed boat,” he told the crowd. “That’s a design that has literally been around for around 250 years in this country.” While noting the historic qualities of the design, he added, “We got creative and decided to make a gabled roof because we wanted to put in a loft bed.” Bicycles were stored on the porch roof and signs stating “Art Gallery” and “Explosives” were mounted to the outhouse door. “The boat is completely self-contained,” stated Modes, though he noted, “There are things we noticed this morning, like we need a towel rack.” Still, the boat was equipped with everything else it needed. “If we find a sandy beach, we’re good,” he told the crowd.4 continued on page 24 OCTOBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
23
Questions remained about a food supply, and he noted that he’d just bought fishing gear from a local business. “I’m a really crappy fisher, but the people at Reynolds Ranch assured me that if I bought these really expensive lures, I’d be good,” he joked. Subsequent photos on the team’s blog and Instagram pages noted shipmate Benzy making great catches, with an impressive striper and catfish cooked up for the crew. Anticipation for the launch was high amongst Modes and his crew – shipmates Jeremiah Daniels and Benzy of Santa Cruz, as well as Sara Jane Hall from the British Broadcasting Corporation doing audio recording – and the gathering crowd. However, the shantyboat was not fated to make its launch that day. Bad gas had infected the boat’s engine and the busy holiday weekend made it difficult to find help with repairs. Finally, a man named Dave, recommended through personnel of the Tehama County Sheriff ’s Department, got the crew back on the water a few days later. “The main purpose of the trip is to collect oral histories from the people who live and work on rivers,” Daniels said during preparation for the ill-fated launch. Indeed, the shantyboat and the treks are part art installation, larger part social history documentation. The website People’s River History, which chronicles the journeys, lists the art and history project as four-fold: “An academic research archive of long-form interviews with river people; an extensive project website introducing and connecting a wider audience to those who live and work on the river; the shantyboat as a central art piece is a physical archive and library of the Secret History project temporarily sited at museums and galleries; a series of books about the experience, the people we meet, and the places we visit.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2017
The crowd assembled for the launch was eager to witness such an elaborate effort, though concerns were expressed for safety of the crew and boat on a river that had developed snags and gravel bars from a rainy winter. “It’s a pretty swift river,” noted Modes. During the downtime waiting for repairs, Tehama County Sheriff ’s river patrol took the crew out on the river to scout potential trouble spots as far as Woodson Bridge in Corning. The website later chronicled a particularly harrowing trek in a blog post titled “Spoiler alert: We are still alive. Just went through the sketchiest bit of boating I’ve done in a 10-year career of sketchy boating.” An area of river in Bayliss almost took them out, and made some impressive chew marks in the boat’s Mercury 4 Stroke motor. Throughout the journey, which was attached to a special exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum during the month of July, the team interviewed a wide variety of people. While some blog posts scream of danger and misfortune, most show a daring and engaged crew having the time of their lives on a river filled with opportunities for stories and adventure. • www.peoplesriverhistory.us

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:

COLD BLOODED A N O T H E R TA K E O N P E T S AT R E D D I N G R E P T I L E S
LOVE LIZARDS? Lots of people do. Or turtles, or even (shudder) snakes. More and more North State residents are adding these coldblooded creatures to their households as pets, according to Redding Reptile, a local lizard and snake specialty shop. The folks here encourage this trend, of course, but advise buyers to select their species carefully. That cute little green lizard may grow up someday, warns store owner Sandra Dodge-Streich. “Iguanas are our number one reptile that’s turned in,” she says. “Their disposition turns mean as they get bigger, and people can’t deal with their behavior, with their claws and the whipping with their tails.” She stands in a back room in the store, before a cage that fills an entire wall, floor to ceiling. Large green lizards climb around inside and greet visitors by pressing their scaly snouts against wire mesh. Her son, Ryan Allinger, says the same principle applies to exotic snakes. “People don’t think about it,” he says. “They buy this python because it’s cool, because
everybody wants pythons, but when it grows up they don’t have the finances or the space it needs.” A reptile enthusiast from early childhood, Allinger does have everything a large constrictor needs. In another back room, this one closed to the public, he points from window to darkened window of cages housing Burmese pythons, a reticulated python and an anaconda. “The anaconda is the heaviest species of snake in the world, but the retic is the longest,” he says. “The official record is 33 feet.” Allinger is known in the shop as a walking reptile encyclopedia. He can rapid-fire recite the diet, habitat and scientific names of every lizard and snake in the store, and much more. His reticulated python, Medusa, is only a baby. “She’s 4 years old,” he says, “about 14 to 15 feet long, weighs between 90 and 100 pounds.” She, he says, is not a suitable snake for the general public. Touring a display of terrariums in the front room of Redding Reptiles, Allinger points out his top five most suitable selections. “We’re pushing the species that are smaller, easier to take care of for your average family,” he says. He lists the bearded dragon, the blue-tongued skink, the Russian tortoise, the leopard gecko and the ball python, which stays small, docile and – for those who select their snakes by eye – comes in wide variety of patterns and colors.4 continued on page 30

Sales to first-timers is less a transaction and more of an introduction to the world of the reptile. Redding resident Carrie Fisher is in the store with her son Marshall to pick up Barley, the rosy boa he left with Redding Reptile to board while his family was away on vacation. Yes, Redding Reptile boards lizards and snakes, providing expert care. “He’s just been fed,” Dodge-Streich tells the 11-year-old boy. “You don’t want to handle him too much right now or he might throw up.” His mother recounts Barley’s entry into her household. “It was his idea,” she says of her son. “I told him I did not want to take care of it. We came in and they talked to us for about an hour and a half before we selected. They educate you thoroughly.”
room and watches Stewie, his black-throated monitor lizard, walk the aisle. Stewie lives loose in the store, which is kept warm and humid for its tropical residents. Also roaming day and night are Buster, DodgeStreich’s Argentine black and white tegu, and Bubz the Savannah monitor and – well, you get idea. Redding Reptiles began as Critters and More after injuries DodgeStreich suffered in a rear-end collision forced her leave her position as nurse at Mercy Medical Center. She took her long-time wish to open a pet shop to her husband Steven, also a nurse at Mercy Medical. At first, he was not exactly enthusiastic. “That’s something they believe in,” he says of his wife and stepson. “Not my thing. So I thought,

If anyone can teach someone about reptiles, it’s Allinger. He literally cannot remember his life without them. “I bought him a leopard gecko when he was 3,” says Dodge-Streich. “That was his preschool graduation gift.” His mother gifted him with many more specimens over his early years. For the child, it was all about reptiles. “That’s all I talked about,” he recalls. “I would go to pet shops. There’d be this little 8-, 9-year-old kid talking to a 20-something guy, saying, ‘Hey, your tegus don’t look too happy.’” A generation earlier, young Sandra found her love for critters while hiking the Appalachian Trail with her family. “I was a tomboy,” she says. “I always had a 10-gallon tank in my room with something in it I caught.” Frogs were her favorite quarry. “I have a frog tat on my left shoulder,” Dodge-Streich says. She started a family in New York, then moved to California when Ryan was about 13. For the young man, it was a whole new world. “In California, you could keep a lot of larger species of snakes and lizards,” he says with a smile that could have belonged to that 13-year-old. You can see that same smile when he kneels on the floor of the sales

‘I’ll just agree, because it’s probably not going to go anywhere anyway.’ A day or two later, they found this place. Then I knew she was serious.” He pitched in, working the counter. To get it up and running they sold a boat, a car and a dining room set. Critters and More opened as a general pet store, selling birds, guinea pigs and hamsters, along with reptiles. After eight months, it was clear the lizards and snakes were outselling everything else, so they changed to Redding Reptiles. “Then Ryan took the business to a whole new level,” says the proud mother. • Redding Reptiles • 991 Lake Blvd., Redding (530) 338-2446 • www.redddingreptiles.com Open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm

SHASTA COLLEGE THEATRE
To Serve After graduating from high school, I
enlisted in the U.S. Army. I went through basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood and became a Military Police Officer. In May of 2002, I was deployed to Kosovo in the Balkans. At first it was simple. Then we geared up for what would be one of the most intense things I did on that deployment. I saw things and did things that would haunt me for the rest of my life. When I returned to civilian life I struggled to adjust and when I say struggled, I struggled hard and in silence– even attempting suicide at one point. I couldn’t escape the nightmares that haunted me day and night.
Foundation An Investment in Education
Milli Israel Veteran U.S. Army Shasta College Knight 2015-18
My husband transitioned from Active Duty to National Guard and we moved to Redding where he grew up. I wanted to start my education and make something of my life. So in the Fall of 2015 I enrolled in my first semester of classes at Shasta College. I was scared. Then I met Mr. Carmena. I didn’t know, sitting in class on the first day of school back in 2015 that Mr. Carmena would become one of the most important people in my life. It was because of him that I stayed in school. Because he believed in me so much, I started to believe in myself. He made me see that PTSD was something I had, but it was not who I was. Eventually I would help start the new AOJ Club on campus and restart the Veterans Club. I am a VA Work Study student and I have become a face that everyone knows. I still struggle every day and I always will, but because of people like Mr. Carmena and the safety of Shasta College, I have been able to find myself and be who I was always meant to be. I love helping fellow veterans who are struggling too because I have been there. I will be graduating in 2018 and then transferring to complete my bachelor’s degree with the goal of becoming a juvenile probation officer.

T H E A Q U A V E LV E T S ’ M I L E S C O R B I N ALTHOUGH HE'S PENNED MUSIC for TV and movies, guitarist/composer and producer Miles Corbin is best known for being the leader of the Aqua Velvets, one of the world's premier surf instrumental bands. Rather than recreating the vintage ‘60s surf sound, Corbin set out to add depth and dimension to his vision of a surf band, with original songs that included strings, horns, keyboards and exotic instruments. The Velvets’ music and Corbin’s solo recordings have offered an intriguing mix of surf stylings alongside sounds of echo-laden spaghetti-Western soundtrack music, Latin rhythms, psychedelia and exotic lounge music. The current Velvet band consists of Corbin, founding bassist Michael Lindner and drummer Tim Gahagan. The band's self-titled, self-produced 1992 debut was recorded
in phases over a four-year period after working hours in the Porsche garage where Lindner was employed as a mechanic, where the natural echoes created by the concrete floor and high ceilings created just the right amount of natural reverb. Corbin recalls, “The music scene in San Francisco in the late ‘80s was amazing to the point that there were 15 or 20 clubs with live music. It became a mecca for a lot of groups that were touring. In those years, we opened for Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Mink Deville; I met the Clash and guys like that. We were recording in all different studios, offering us free time. We did a lot of recordings, played a lot of clubs and big concerts, the big theaters in Berkeley and the Cow Palace. We were playing rockabilly, blues and4 continued on page 34

some early surf tunes by the Sentinels, and ‘Pipeline’ by the Chantays. And then came the idea to combine the surf instrumental sounds with some kind of film noir. Lindner and I talked about ballads, bossa nova, something that would fit into a David Lynch movie, or a James Bond spy kind of genre. By the time we finished the 10 songs on the first album, we had found our style and voice and what we wanted to do. And it became the prototype or model of what was to follow." After their 1992 independent studio release, the band signed to Atlantic Records in 1995 to release “Surfmania”; subsequent releases appeared on BMG subsidiary Milan Records. A large influence on Corbin's earlier songwriting work with the Velvets was African guitar legend Ali Farka Toure, and in particular the acclaimed album he recorded with Ry Cooder, “Talking Timbuktu.” “That album really stuck with me through the years," he says. "That minimalist approach that Toure used, I think that's one of the origins of what became American blues guitar. Toure turned it around with the electric guitar. They used these really interesting open tunings, where you change just one string and that throws everything off into a different kind of chordal structure.” The Velvets have continued to release a steady stream of albums, most notably “Tiki Beat” and “El Morocco.” “On ‘El Morocco,’” he says, “I started using more acoustic guitar, then the electric with reverb and vibrato. On a couple of tracks, it's just me playing solo guitar and nothing else.” His band continues to tour extensively and has headlined and shared bills with artists like Chris Isaak, Dick Dale and the Beach Boys, as well as having been featured in film and television soundtracks, including the CBS series Nash Bridges, filmed on location in San

Francisco. They’ve also had tracks in dozens of specials on the Discovery Channel, ESPN’s “Maxout,” ABC and Fox, and were featured in three neosurf anthologies—including Rhino’s “Cowabunga! The Surf Box.” Since moving to the North State area, Corbin has added a guitar duo performance with Robert Karch in local clubs and wineries. He has also put together a trio, adding percussionist Jerry Morano, and at times, a quartet with Komoko Bunting on drums and Mark Wilpolt on upright bass. These performances of Corbin’s original compositions are “a little jazzier than the Velvets.” • Miles Corbin with Robert Karch: Second Wednesday of the month, 6-8 pm, Izakaya Ichiban, 2000 Notre Dame Blvd., Chico Second Thursday of the month, 6-9 pm at Farm Star Pizza, 2359 Esplanade, Chico Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8, 1-4 pm Dog Creek Cellars and Winery in Durham dogcreekcellars.com

C O L O R C O M B I N AT I O N S YO U N E V E R K N E W YO U L O V E D VINCENT VAN GOGH, the world-renowned Dutch painter, once said, “One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well.” Colors are the visual manifestations of our deepest emotions. They carry the sentiments, associations and passions of a culture, often bridging generational gaps – or creating them. They wax and wane in our lives, as they have throughout different periods of history, affecting our moods, appetites and even our heart rates. But when two unexpected colors are paired together, there is infinite magic to be discovered. Allow us to introduce you to some fresh color combinations that may just speak poetry into your home and wardrobe.
INDIGO + CINNABAR Why We Love It: Blue and orange, opposite on the color wheel, bring a well-balanced, fresh and playful perspective to life. At Home: Use indigo as your anchor color in a living room, as it lays the foundation for a serene dwelling space. Cinnabar is the warm splash that will keep the room from feeling cold. Consider a couch in indigo and fold in throw pillows, vases, artwork and accent furniture in cinnabar. Using both colors throughout the space in varying shades adds dimension, flow and continuity. Indigo or cinnabar can work as an accent wall in your home, but their associated temperatures – cold and warm, respectively – have the power to evoke a mood of sadness or anxiety if used with too much intensity. In Your Wardrobe: The world remains mad for all things denim, so indigo is already a part of “the in crowd.” A few basics in cinnabar – like a tank, t-shirt, dress, skirt or statement blazer – will play well with denim. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing cinnabar as an element of clothing, consider splashing in a pair of shoes, a bag, hat, a scarf or a piece of statement jewelry in the happy hue. And a fun pattern that infuses shades of indigo and cinnabar is always a good idea.4 continued on page 38

OLIVE + BLUSH Why We Love It: Shades of green and pink are calming, delicate and subtle – and utterly unforgettable. At Home: Olive green is a great option for larger pieces of furniture like buffets, armoires and couches because while it provides that solid force that every room needs, it’s a bit less severe than black or brown. Old books with shades of olive green make a lovely and whimsical addition to bookcases and coffee tables. Sure, putting a shade of blush on the wall may not sound like your cup of tea, but opting for a white wall with a tint of blush can soften a room brilliantly. Vintage glassware, orbs or artwork with elements of blush invite romance into a space. Bouquets of lush greenery and sweet blush blooms on your table are sure to stop just about anyone in their tracks. In Your Wardrobe: Use olive green as a substitute for your dark neutrals this season. Pencil skirts, pants, basic dresses, blazers and coats in this shade show a more nuanced fashion sense than their expected neutral counterparts. A blush-colored blouse, scarf or jewelry over a layer of olive hits a sweet note. And don’t count out blush as your base color. It can work just as well as the star with olive in the supporting role.

TEAL + COPPER Why We Love It: t reminds us of where the land and sea meet – and when is the beach not a good idea? At Home: Teal is luxurious without having to try too hard. Try an accent chair or a tufted ottoman upholstered in rich teal velour or microfiber, or update an antique armoire or buffet in the hue to elevate a room in an instant. Teal works perfectly on a wall – on top if the wall has wainscoting, on the bottom if it’s divided by decorative molding. A glass-top coffee table with a copper metal base and coordinating end tables will soften and sophisticate the space. Lighting fixtures, lamp bases, frames, book ends or beaded throw pillows in shining copper will sweeten the deal. In Your Wardrobe: Often associated with mystery, teal can’t help but be noticed. Slip on a teal dress and intrigue everyone around you without saying a word. A trench coat or pea coat in teal is a lovely alternative to basic black or navy, and is surprisingly neutral. If you can manage to find a pair of heels in metallic copper, you’ve hit the fashion lotto. Buy them – and a clutch bag and belt to match, since luck is clearly on your side. Jewelry with copper accents counter the deep unknown of the teal with something warm, enchanting and approachable.4 continued on page 40

PLUM + MARIGOLD Why We Love It: It reminds us of the turning of seasons – we are all about a stunning cluster of mums on a fall day. At Home: Plum is ideal for creating an intimate, elegant boudoir. Use the rich hue on your comforter, duvet cover, draperies, an elegant chaise lounge or a tufted bench at the foot of the bed. Drape sheer panels in plum from the top of a canopy bed and you’ll feel like royalty. Splash in marigold throw pillows, artwork, table runners, lampshades and small painted end tables to add warmth to the room. In fact, consider painting the wall behind your bed in warm marigold to infuse a bit of light and contrast – because contrast, dear friends, is a beautiful thing. In Your Wardrobe: A sweater dress, a blouse or a pencil skirt in plum can easily stand in for your black, charcoal or grey basics. Plum is luxury personified in the form of a warm, knitted infinity scarf, a structured satchel bag or a piece of jewelry – particularly when it’s layered over marigold. Opt for a bold, plum shade of lipstick or nail polish to spice things up. A sassy pair of shoes, a stylish bag and belt combination, a snuggly scarf and bold jewelry in marigold command attention while offering a soft balance to the edginess of the plum.
CRANBERRY + DUCK EGG BLUE Why We Love It: It’s the best of both worlds – the rich, luxurious balance of warm and cool. At Home: It’s been said that every room can be made more beautiful with a touch of red. Consider a couch in cranberry, because, well, your life will be all the better for it. Soften its intensity with throw pillows in duck egg. Artwork with elements of red will pop on the wall. Old books with cranberry covers will stand out boldly in a bookshelf, built-in cabinetry or on a coffee table in duck egg. Infuse vintage brass ephemera with a natural patina (it looks very close to duck-egg) to distribute the color adequately throughout the room. An elegant accent chair or tufted ottoman lends old-world charm. In Your Wardrobe: A dress, a vintage leather jacket, a wool coat and a pair of heels in cranberry should get you started, but don’t stop there. The awe-inspiring color works just as well for accessories as it does for the core pieces. And the right red lipstick and polish will change your life. A dress, a blazer and a top in duck egg blue may just become your staples this season. The dusty blue hue shines when worn with anything cranberry, so pick up a scarf, some jewelry and a structured statement bag and consider yourself day-glow. • Kimberly N.

GOOD TIMES BY LANA GRANFORS | PHOTO: | BY JORDAN KARA STEWART VENEMA
Giddy Up REDWOOD CREEK BUCKARETTES ORICK NATIVES Kimberly Frick and Kristina Comb are more than just sisters – they’re Buckarettes. As children, their father owned a construction company, so the sisters often worked together growing up. “Yeah, my sister and I grew up in the construction business,” says Kimberly. “So we’ve worked together our entire lives.” They continued that tradition by taking over a business that offers guided horseback rides through Redwood National Park. As Kimberly is the older sister, it begs the question: Does that make her the boss? “No, not really,” she laughs. “We just love to be with each other.” In fact, the two sisters have been giving guided horseback tours through Redwood National Park since they were in high school. “Our dad always had horses and he would take us riding,” Kimberly says. “But when this other family moved to town, they had a daughter about our age and we became really close with that family and started helping them out with their business.”
That family began offering guided horseback tours in 1991, but Kimberly and Kristina were fifth-generation residents. They knew the park inside and out – and “definitely the horse trail,” says Kimberly. The sisters purchased the company nine years ago, and continue to offer three guided tours: a 90-minute ride, a two-hour ride, and a four-hour picnic ride, which includes lunch, ranging from $70 to $195 a person. The interpretive tours offer lessons about the plants and trees, and a stop at “the goose pen,” a burnt-out hollow of a redwood, “where you can back your horse into and get your picture taken.” Over the years, even Kimberly has learned a thing or two about the redwoods. “A lot of people don’t realize the redwood trees are unique in that their roots soak up water and give nutrients to the bottom half of the tree, while the top half of the tree gets its water through the needles by the rain and the fog,” she says.4 continued on page 46

Though the sisters have been riding since childhood, about 80 percent of their guests have never been on a horse. But Buckarettes’ horses aren’t wild stallions: they’re good with people, assures Kimberly. Riding horseback over a trail offers a different experience than hiking by foot. “Almost everybody says that it’s a very different experience,” Kimberly says. “You’re three feet up off the ground, and there’s something about nature and horses that can relax people.” Plus, you don’t have to spend time watching where you step, “so you don’t have to worry about tripping on something like a root.” The ride might be calming and relaxing in its own way, but even after decades on the trail, the sisters still love it. “I’ve been going up and down the same trail for 30 years, but no, you definitely do not get tired of it. The beauty is constantly changing with the seasons and the weather, whether it’s a foggy or sunny day,” says Kimberly. “I especially love to ride in May because there’s no dust on the trail and the rhododendrons are in bloom, and that pink color against the redwoods is gorgeous.” Neither do they tire of the feedback from their guests. “We constantly are hearing that we’ve made their day,” says Kimberly, adding that the word “magnificent” is one they hear a lot.

As for the name Buckarettes, Kimberly explains, “My sister also has two teenage daughters, and that’s why we’re Buckarettes: ‘cause we’re all girls.” “We made our own name because our neighbor, who was a woman and started the business, deliberately named it a man’s name. She said that some people don’t want to come to a business that’s owned by a woman,” continues Kimberly. “So we wanted to make sure that it’s known ahead of time that it’s a woman’s business. ‘Cause if anybody feels like that, we don’t want them to come,” she says with a laugh. • Redwood Creek Buckarettes www.redwoodcreekbuckarettes.com (707) 499-2943

SMALL PACKAGES W E S T E R N A R T I S T B R I A N F O R D ’ S S TAG E C OAC H S C U L P T U R E S IT IS A WARM EVENING IN in northern Nevada, and Redding resident Brian Ford just spent the afternoon setting up his display of Western frontier wagons to be auctioned off at the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno. “This is the first show I’ve ever done of this magnitude, and I’m very grateful to be here. I’m one of the only living artists in the show and it’s nice to be thrown in with that caliber,” he says about the fine arts auction that yields about $40 million in sales.
As a jack-of-all-trades, this multi-piece collection of detailed 1920s-‘30s era stagecoach sculptures is expected to sell at the Coeur d’Alene for upwards of half a million dollars, but Ford doesn’t care about the money. This is just one of the many projects he’s in the middle of, but this one in particular holds special sentimental value of time he spent with his dad. Brian’s father, Dale, was a western artist for 45 years, regularly featured in national4 continued on page 52

magazines for his painting and sculptures. Growing up around his creative father, Brian quickly learned how to build things out of wood, metal and other materials. “When I was 4 years old my dad brought me out to his shop. I didn’t play with toys; I played with tools. I love construction,” Brian says. His first real piece of art was a commissioned hand-carved full-size wooden carousel horse that sold for $5,700 when he was 17 years old. As Brian got older he improved his handiwork, becoming more involved in construction, building and creating. Twentyseven years ago, he moved to Redding from Reno, opened a successful picture framing business downtown, and transformed a dilapidated Bungalow-style home into a beautifully designed living space with a spacious woodshop/modern man cave attached. Along with his thriving framing business, Brian helped build structural developments and/or design work for places like Redding’s Shameless O’Leery’s Irish Pub and Soundhouse Recording Studio, as well as painting a full-sized wall mural in Reno’s 55,000-square-foot Need 2 Speed indoor kart racing facility. Even though Brian is always switching gears and involved in numerous projects, in 2013, Dale suffered a stroke and couldn’t continue on with his own artwork. Realizing what little time he had left with his father, Brian came up with the wagons project, and together they created detailed plans to build stagecoaches reminiscent of the old Western frontier.4 continued on page 54

“My dad came out of the era where the whole western theme was big, with John Wayne and others,” says Brian. The youngest of 14 kids, Dale’s family moved out West from Tennessee following the depression and settled in Arizona. For this project, Dale did extensive research on stagecoaches, chuck wagons and other transportation methods, as well as their innovations over the years. “He looked at hundreds of plans and vehicles,” Brian says. As Dale poured into the design, Brian got to work hand-making every detailed metal piece, wagon wheel and prop. The final product is a collection of 26 sculptures about 22 inches long by 16 to 20 inches tall, made entirely from scratch. He has poured thousands of hours into it, continuously revisiting the project for a solid two years until completed. “I did this to connect with my dad; this collection is a tribute to him. He was really excited to be a part of it. He’s always seen me do artistic things my whole life,” he says. Although Brian’s Wagons collection is up for sale at an auction, it isn’t finished yet – he built 20 more wagons to

augment the 26-piece collection that still needs to be painted and detailed. Being seven or eight months into the project, Brian believes that he has another six months to go (adding it into the mix of whatever else he is working on). “If you came into my shop, you would see projects everywhere. I do wood carving and all kinds of things. I just love working with my hands, having all of my tools. I will probably do a few more (wagon sculptures) here and there, and maybe do something different like open up a bar and grill, something my son could help me with,” Brian says. “I’m a pretty busy guy – I love to cook, entertain people, ride motorcycles, fast cars, and I’ve tried to be a really good dad to my kids. I just enjoy life, I’m pretty simple, and there’s a million things I want to do before I die.” • Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt.

...in r e l d a n n o d W T H E E L S A R U P P N AT U R E S T U DY A R E A AS ROBERT AND LENA RUPP stood beside the old stage road of Sisson, the primeval forests of Siskiyou County were a contrast to the manicured forests of Germany where they were born. Together with their son Albert and baby daughter Elsa, they began their new lives in a valley only newly touched by trains, under the shadow of Mt. Shasta. Elsa would remain under the influence of this landscape for her entire 92 years. Today, the paved stage road winds north past the Mount Shasta Fish Hatchery. To the north and on the east side of the road is a gift from this pioneering family. In 1973, in honor of her parents and brother, Elsa Rupp donated forest property to the fish hatchery and created the Elsa Rupp Nature Study Area. Along the half-circle pull-in parking area, tall conifers and cedars create a canopy of shade. The trail is carpeted with pine needles. As one walks
deeper, the noise of the road gives way to birdsong. Lush green leaves fan out under the trees as the breeze moves them like an ocean. Light pierces the canopy, showering onto the floor of the forest. Elsa worked for the Forest Service in Mount Shasta as a stenographer, and even after moving to Redding and Yreka for a short time, she always came back to her mountain and the forests surrounding it. The warm sun brings out the butterflies, their yellow, blue and orange markings contrasting the green foliage. The sound of running water comes from all directions. Small planked bridges cross the seasonal waterways. In the shade, wild ferns cover old tree stumps. Benches from hewn logs invite a moment of rest and reflection. The trail widens and the sound of water deepens. Big Springs Creek pours through the thick woods, forming a pool before being 4 continued on page 58 OCTOBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

redirected as the main water source of the fish hatchery, disappearing under the ground and reappearing at the hatchery. Another bridge takes the visitor over the creek. Tree roots cross the trail like snakes. The smell of warm pine fills the senses. Trees lean over the trail as the sun warms the small pool. Wild ginger and strawberries line the path. Patches of grass poke up from the wet ground around the creek. The only noises are the voices of the forest. The trail circles back to the creek, and a long plank bridge crosses the rushing water. Looking over the railing, time moves under the bridge while it remains frozen above. The dense brush and wood limits the vista. There is a feeling that an elf, dwarf or stray hobbit may appear. The trail meets itself again, returning to the creek’s underground descent. On the return, the forest continues to reveal its beauty as the winding path returns to the parking area. Elsa left this land to be enjoyed. Here the forest remains as her family first saw it when they came here more than 115 years ago. Her wish for others to enjoy her woods was granted. John Muir, a kindred spirit of Elsa’s, lodged a short quarter mile from here on his visits. He wrote, The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. The mountains are calling and I must go. In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica.

Family Style N E W A S I A N G A R D E N R E S TA U R A N T I N R E D B L U F F IT’S MORE THAN the delicious General Chicken, War Wonton soup and special green bean dish that keep customers coming back to to Red Bluff ’s New Asian Garden Restaurant. While those dishes are all prepared by an award-winning chef from Taiwan who cut his teeth in the U.S. restaurant business on San Francisco’s Clement Street, it’s the exceptional service and congeniality of proprietor Angela Chang, who would also like you to know that “the Mongolian Beef is pretty good, too,” that truly makes the experience.
Chang has an uncanny ability to remember her customers and their orders regardless of how much time passes between visits. “When a customer comes in, I remember them because it’s from my heart,” she says. “If you’re taking care of your family, you remember things. I really care about my customers.” If it’s been a really, really long time, she admits she might stumble on a name, but there will be some detail that she’ll remember. Perhaps the outfit the person wore last, but more usually their order.4 continued on page 62

Such familiarity creates such a comfortable environment that New Asian Garden has become one of those rare places where you’ll hear customers cheerfully greeting Chang by her first name as well, genuinely delighted by the comfort of recognizing each other. “I have customers that call this Angela’s Restaurant,” she says. “I appreciate that.” All is well when the conversation happens between Red Bluffians in the know. “Let’s meet at Angela’s” is an implied yet understood suggestion for most when making meal plans. More than one person, however, has been stymied trying to Google or Yelp “Angela’s”. It doesn’t exist on those platforms. New Asian Garden opened in 2002 after Chang and her husband, Chin, decided to leave their Carmichael and San Franciscobased restaurants for a quieter lifestyle. “We found Red Bluff and decided to stay,” she says. “It’s not super busy like San Francisco, but I like the feel. People help each other like a family.” Chin, who received accolades in a San Francisco newspaper for his work prior to meeting Angela, is the head chef and diligently prepares all of his dishes fresh to order. “He’s very quiet, he’s not like me who likes to talk,” Angela says with a laugh. “He’s a very good cook. My husband, when he was young, worked in a high-class hotel in China.” With another laugh, she adds, “But he doesn’t cook at home. He only cooks in the restaurant.” The restaurant serves Mandarin-style dishes, and as Angela says, “He can do spicy or not spicy.” The freshness and customization might
“It’s not super busy like San Francisco, but I like the feel. People help each other like a family.” 62

add a little time to the preparation, but Angela says, “Red Bluff people are usually patient and we really appreciate that.” The couple, whose sisters were friends who set them up when Chin returned to Taiwan from the United States looking for a wife, have two daughters who have grown up around the restaurant. The relationship was afforded time to blossom when Chin lost his passport and had to stay longer in Taiwan than expected. Today, the couple tends the restaurant seven days a week. “I don’t have a day off,” says Angela. Hard work is an ethic for the couple. Angela began working the day after she arrived in the United States at Chin’s Carmichael restaurant. Without knowing much English, she set about her language education by taking a menu home and practicing every night for six months. “And then my English got better and better,” she says. “I can read, I can write, I can speak.” It’s been a long journey of hard work and determination from Taiwan to a successful and much-loved business in Red Bluff, but the Changs are pleased with their North State community and the many customers who walk through their doors. “Some of the older people, they’re like my grandma and grandpa,” says Angela. “I love them.” • New Asian Garden • 628 Main St., Red Bluff (530) 529-9888

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS
Late NEVER too
S U M M I T C R E E K B E E F A N D S U M N E R V I N E YA R D S I N H AY F O R K AT FIRST, TRINITY COUNTY was an alpine oasis that Mike Sumner and his wife, Polly, retreated to for a break from their fast-paced, hightech jobs in Silicon Valley. The couple acquired a summer vacation home near Lewiston and used it as a jumping-off point for backpacking adventures in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Sumner had long held back-to-the-land desires, but it was hard to act on them with three young boys, a full-time job and a home near San Jose. In 2002, when Sumner retired as head of Latin America operations for BEA Systems (a global software company that was snapped up by Oracle in 2008 for $8.5 billion), he decided it was time to act.
He found a 650-acre ranch in a valley on the outskirts of Hayfork, renovated a house on the property, added a barn and made it their new home. While Polly Sumner continued her career in the tech field (she’s the chief adoption officer with Salesforce, a San Franciscobased cloud-computing business), Sumner turned his attention to his rural adventure. “It was a pretty major change, but it was something I’d wanted to do all my life. I’ve always been thinking about farming since the kids were little,” he says. “I thought it’d be a great way to live but there was no way to make a living at that point.” As close as he got to the farm life back then was assisting his children with their 4-H and FFA projects.4 continued on page 66 OCTOBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The first order of business was establishing Summit Creek Beef, his grass-fed beef cattle operation. Sumner’s cattle graze in Hayfork and on 240 acres of pasture he purchased in Douglas City; the beef is sold at stores in Hayfork and Weaverville and at farmers markets. Ryen Rouke, a fifth-generation member of a Hayfork ranching family, is Sumner’s ranch foreman. After adding a smaller sheep-raising component, Sumner started seriously tinkering with another passion he’s had for more than three decades: wine. After planting some Pinot Noir vines on his ranch, he set about educating himself on the fine points of viticulture and winemaking. Already armed with a business degree from San Francisco State University, Sumner picked up a winemaking certificate through the UC Davis Extension and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry through an online program from Oregon State University in Corvallis. Sumner also soaked up whatever local knowledge was available and counts Keith Groves, the winemaker at Alpen Cellars in Trinity Center, as an invaluable resource. During his frequent trips to France (Polly’s work with Salesforce involves a lot of time in Europe), Sumner, who speaks French, spends a lot of time in Bordeaux and Burgundy talking to winemakers there. “The point of making wine is you’re never done learning how to make it,” Sumner says. “We’ve changed how we prune, irrigate, fertilize … I think we’re getting better every year.” Sumner Vineyards was formally launched in 2012 when Sumner purchased a 50-acre parcel in Hayfork that had 10 acres planted in mature Pinot Noir vines. A winery soon followed and now, after five years of hard work and innovation, Sumner Vineyards is bottling between 2,000 and 2,500 cases a year. “It’s more than I can drink so I have to sell it,” Sumner jokes. The keys to good wine? Sumner says it starts, naturally enough, with 66
www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2017
quality grapes and some tender, loving—and high-tech—care. Early in the growing season, Sumner sends vine clippings to a lab in Lodi for analysis and the results, received via email, tell him what ratio of nine different nutrients need to be added to the irrigation water in a system known as “fertigation.” Special care is taken after the harvest as well. “You need to treat grapes gently and don’t crush them too hard. The less you have to press the juice out of grapes, the better off you are,” Sumner says. Sumner uses a chilled fermentation process and clarifies or filters his wine with bentonite clay to give it exceptional clarity and remove any lingering yeast and tannins. Sumner Vineyards’ current lineup includes California Cowboy Red, a highly drinkable $12 Pinot meant to be paired with rough-andtumble fare like hearty burgers and flank steak; an $18 Pinot Noir that fully reflects Hayfork’s warm days and cool nights; a $12 Rose from a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes that is both fruity and dry; and a $15 Pinot Gris that matches well with chicken and vegetable dishes. Sumner says he’ll plant four acres of Chardonnay vines in the spring and other varietals will no doubt be added as his experience and knowledge grows. “I’m doing what I love, even if it’s kind of late in life,” the 71-year-old winemaker says with a smile. • www.sumnervineyards.com • www.summitcreekbeef.com Sumner Vineyards wines are available at Kent’s Market, Tops Market, Liquor Barn and online.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS

H I S TO R I C PA R K V I L L E C E M E T E R Y ALBERT CLEVELAND RICHARDSON had only reached the tender age of 18 months when his life ended in 1889, but in that brief stretch of time, he made an indelible impression on his doting parents. John and Belle had this touching inscription engraved on the headstone that marked their son’s grave in the historic Parkville Cemetery: “It’s a little grave, but O, have care For Worldwide hopes are buried there; How much of light, how much joy, Is buried with our darling boy.” There was but one problem with this little vignette from Shasta County’s history: little Albert’s headstone was in a flower bed in the backyard of a home in Happy Valley, some 16 miles from the Parkville Road cemetery where it belonged. Lisa Yrigollen discovered it last year buried in her yard. At first she thought it was a pretty rock, and then she realized it was a child’s headstone. After cleaning it up, she asked around at local cemeteries to see if they were missing any headstones. She packed it up and brought it with her when she moved to Anderson, despite her daughter’s misgivings.
The mystery was solved earlier this year when Yrigollen saw a Facebook post about another misplaced headstone and how Anderson historian Ron Jolliff was able to connect it with John Gillespie, who died in 1897 and was buried at the Redding Cemetery. Yrigollen brought the headstone, which she called her “Little Albert,” to Jolliff, who in turn consulted with Sherry Miller, president of the Parkville Cemetery board of directors, and within a day the headstone was linked to the Richardson family plot. It was reinstalled in July in a simple yet heartfelt ceremony. Yrigollen says that although she enjoyed having the headstone, she was relieved and overjoyed to see it back in the Parkville Cemetery. Of its previous resting spot, she says, “I felt, deep down inside, that it did not belong there.”4 continued on page 70

Miller and the other directors of the Parkville Cemetery were also happy to have the headstone back home. Preserving and protecting the final resting place of some of Shasta County’s early pioneers is the cherished mission of the board members. Miller discovered the cemetery 11 years ago while on a tour led by historian Dottie Smith and she became intrigued. During her career as a TWA flight attendant, Miller made a habit of visiting Civil War cemeteries during her travels, and learning of a Civil War-era cemetery so close to Redding was a thrill. Plus, “this one looked like it needed some help and protection from the public.” Miller soon joined the seven-member board that owns and maintains Parkville Cemetery. Over the years, help arrived through community cleanups, Boy Scout projects, the generous donation from Holiday Market founder Rich Morgan of a rock wall and the contribution of an additional five acres of land by board member Sandy DuBose. Sandy’s late husband, Dave DuBose, a longtime Shasta College instructor, is buried at Parkville Cemetery “and I will be too,” she says. Although privately owned, the cemetery is open to the public. Parkville is no longer accepting burials in its historic section, where there are approximately 200 gravesites, but sites are available in the newer annex, Miller says. A tour of the headstones and markers tells a story of Shasta County’s colorful past, when brave families traveled across the country in covered wagons to make their home in the North State. Some were attracted by the allure of gold, others by the promise of affordable farmland. Climena Harrington Klotz, who died in 1864 at the age of 16 due to complications during childbirth, was the first to buried in Parkville Cemetery. Her daughter, Climena Grace, survived and went on to deliver nine children of her own. Marilyn Rountree, a genealogist and advisor to the Parkville Cemetery board, says she knew she had a relative buried at Parkville and after some diligent research, she determined that Climena was her great-great aunt. Climena’s much younger sister, Cinderella Harrington, was Rountree’s great-grandmother. Rountree went on to investigate the stories behind others buried at Parkville, including the Giles and Wilcox families. Rosena Giles, who was laid to rest in the cemetery, was a noted historian and author of the “Shasta County Centennial Edition.” Another Parkville occupant,
70

Elbert Wilcox, expanded his family’s turn-of-thecentury ranch into one of Shasta County’s largest. His father, William Wilcox, was the ranch foreman for Maj. Pierson B. Reading, who received the Rancho Buena Ventura land grant in 1844. The land grant encompassed the present-day cities of Anderson, Cottonwood and Redding. “We have the daughter of a blacksmith from the Lewis and Clark expedition buried there and two of her children and two of her grandchildren,” Miller says. William Jefferson Davis, who was buried in Parkville Cemetery in 1918, served as a Pony Express rider, Miller adds. Familiar family names include Dersch—the headstone for Marie Dersch notes she was “killed by Indians” in 1866—and Darrah. An early settler in the area, Simon Darrah is credited with establishing Darrah Springs near Manton, which is now home to the Darrah Springs Trout Hatchery. The Lack (Lack Creek) and Thatcher (Thatcher Lumber) families are also well represented in Parkville, as are relatives of Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko. A framework of blue pipes surrounds the grave of Joseph Walter Kohn, a U.S. Navy veteran who was laid to rest in 1988. Miller says she was unaware of the pipes’ significance until the day a visitor stopped by and asked if he could see the gravesites of the 10 veterans known to be buried at Parkville. The gentleman, a veteran himself, told Miller the pipes are an homage to the Naval tradition of “manning the rails,” a formation sailors would use to honor the President of the United States or whenever a ship would steam past the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. In essence, Miller says, “he told me the blue rails signify that he had entered into rest in his home port.” • Parkville Cemetery • www.parkvillecemetery.com 1621 Markville Road (half-mile south of Dersch Road) Open to the public during day light hours

BEAUTY TRENDS BY LANA GRANFORS | PHOTO: | BY MELISSA KARA STEWART GULDEN
WELL-GROOMED Q U I C K T I P S O N G U YS’ G R O O M I N G ATTENTION MEN: It’s that time again. Time for my notannual-but-oft-necessary ode to men’s grooming. Yes, it’s time for Manscaping 2.0. When I wrote my first Manscaping article dedicated to our male friends, it received wonderful reviews. However, based on some recent sightings, it’s time for a recap. Beauty products and all their glory are no longer just a woman’s world. From tailored skincare regimens and facials, to face and body waxing, services and treatments for men are becoming more popular than ever. Lauren Anderson, owner of Hello Beautiful in Redding, says that women have always wanted to age as gracefully as possible, but, she adds, “I’m happy to see that more men are understanding the importance of taking care of their skin and are comfortable getting treatments.” Anderson says
that once men notice a difference in their skin, they’re more apt to begin taking care of it. She recommends they come in at the change of season—at least four times a year—and monthly if they need corrective treatments. “A basic skin care regimen, sunscreen and an eye cream is usually what I recommend,” she says. “Facials are great for men. They love the relaxing element and hot towels, too.” And thanks to celebrities such as Rob Lowe, George Clooney and Jon Hamm, who seem to always look impeccable, male grooming has become de rigueur. However, with grooming, it’s a fine line between looking like a caveman or a member of One Direction. That said, body hair is a matter of personal preference—both yours and your partner’s.4 continued on page 74

To make the whole process less scary, start with a shave: at home or an old-fashioned barber shave. Next come the eyebrows, a potential minefield. The quickest way to feminize a man’s face is to over-groom the eyebrow. You can do above the brow, but when you start to take too much underneath or create any type of arch, he starts to look like a girl. Try tweezing the brow instead of waxing, which can remove too much, and use those tweezers to tackle stray nose and ear hairs. Women, help your men! If you see a stray hair— pluck it! You’d want the courtesy reciprocated, right? For the chest, we’re no longer going for the Abercrombie catalogue look. In fact, these days, we tend to see more men with facial and body hair. You need a good pair of clippers. Trim your chest, going in the direction of the grain, all the way down. Do it dry, and hydrate afterwards with a body lotion to prevent redness. And balance is key. If you’re rocking a bit of scruff, you don’t want a completely buzzed chest. If it’s just a little bit of growth on the face, it’s okay to have barely anything on the chest. If you have a beard, maybe go a bit longer. As for the back—no negotiation here. Back hair is never sexy. But it can be really tricky to try to buzz, so that’s right, guys: it’s time to book an appointment. The back is the easiest and least painful area to wax, and by far the most common service for men. A couple of tips for your first time: Take an Advil or a couple of aspirin before your appointment. The longer you go in between waxes, the more it’ll hurt every time

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
October 20, 2017 is “Breast Cancer Awareness Day” and is a great day to mark on your calendar to get your annual mammogram. Questions to ask yourself; know what your symptoms are, know what your risks are and how you can lower your risk and facts about breast cancer. The aim is to increase the awareness of early detection of breast cancer by encouraging women to have mammograms. Early detection means that cancer can be more effectively treated and prevented from spreading to other areas of the body. While the facts can be frightening, there are reasons for optimism as well. When breast cancer is diagnosed early and treated, survival rates can be near 100%. This is why regular screenings and quality treatment are critical to millions of women who will be diagnosed in their lifetimes. CAUSES & RISK FACTORS: Age, genetic risk factors, family history, personal history, race, menstrual periods, using birth control, post-menopausal hormone therapy, obesity, alcohol, and lack of exercise are just a few.
Breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms are all excellent screenings to perform and can improve your chances for early detection of breast cancer. Currently, the chance of a women having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is a little less than one in eight. Life style changes that can help with prevention like, limiting alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, not using hormone therapy, and breast feeding for a few months might possibly reduce your risk as well. On October 19th, 2017, the Greenville Rancheria will be offering referrals for mammograms. Please stop by between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. At our medical clinic, located at 1425 Montgomery Road, Red Bluff for a THINK PINK token (while supplies last). With awareness, more affordable screening, better quality of care, and new research and development, we can help save millions of women’s lives. We do not always know why one

(remember The 40 Year Old Virgin?). Ask your esthetician when you should book your next appointment (generally four to six weeks). Finally, don’t put any product on the area for 24 hours to reduce the risk of irritation. For other areas, such as arms, legs, and pits, only the very hairy need a bit of TLC. Use your clipper with the longer attachment to take off some volume. Moving onward and upward. “Mustache Movember” is approaching next month. There’s something about mustaches…however, they’re not for everyone (right, Jimmy Fallon?). There’s a book out called “One Thousand Mustaches” by Allan Peterkin, and it lists types of mustaches, from the Chevron, to the Magnum, P.I. By all means, use shampoo and conditioner on it in the shower and beard oil after. This way, it will be soft. Remember guys, stubble hurts and rashes aren’t sexy. So go ahead, guys—groom on! Clip, shave, tweeze and trim every inch of your body if you feel like it. We’ve got you covered (so to speak). •

l o S to Q & A W I T H O N E S O L’ S ROMAN GUTIERREZ
YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN THEM at the Reggae Festival, opening for the legendary Jimmy Cliff at the Cascade, or for The Wailers. Maybe you caught them playing acoustic covers at wine bars a few years ago in an earlier incarnation. Meet Shasta County’s One Sol, playing the music your mom wants you to hear. It’s a fusion of reggae, rock, blues, and white boy funk. They call it Nor Cal Reggae Rock, and it just feels good. It’s positive vibes, messages of hope and love, and you can dance to it. Boy! Can you dance to it! One Sol began in 2011, the creation of Roman Gutierrez and Matt Wilson. I’ve known Roman for a few years, and caught up with him recently.
BP: Who was your earliest musical influence? Roman: I am sure this will surprise a lot of people. It has to be Garth Brooks. My dad listened to a lot of country music when I was growing up, and Garth really stood out. I was blown away by his high energy and his showmanship. That guy is an entertainer. And I want to give credit to my ex brother in law, Scott Waits. He really encouraged me. He had a cover band in Escondido called Dr. Phonebone. BP: Great band name! Do you remember your very first time on stage? Roman: My breakout performance was in first grade. I wore my clothes inside out and did the Kris Kross song “Jump.” BP: What’s the craziest request One Sol has played? Roman: It has to be Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” We did it reggae style. BP: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have five albums, what would they be? Roman: That’s tough. OK, how about Alice in Chains “Unplugged,” Santana “Abraxas,” Stevie Ray Vaughan “Live,” Bob Marley “Legend,” and Slightly Stoopid “Live.” BP: What was your reaction the first time you heard your music on the radio? Roman: Oh man! It was on Z-Rock. We were so excited. All of our radios were tuned in. It made us feel successful. We were jumping up and down!
BP: What is your message to the world? What do you hope for? Roman: It’s in our music.

Excess weight, inflammation, unexplained health issues – our bodies can tell an unpleasant story of living in a toxic world. Kremer Family Chiropractic will help you rewrite that story into a tale of wellness. When you come into the office, the staff at Kremer Family Chiropractic want to know the whole you. They’ll do a thorough exam, and the doctors will spend up to an hour with every patient reviewing their X-rays to understand their body’s conditions.

EASY SOUTHWEST VEGETARIAN BUDDHA BOWL WITH SAUCE OR DRESSING SERVES: 4 – 6 Parents, singles, and students with busy schedules appreciate easy, satisfying meals. Whether for a quick dinner or for lunch tomorrow, the ingredients can vary based on individual choices, so this will serve for a guide of items that can be used. These deliciously wholesome bowls of fresh veggies, full of flavor and texture, are served warm or cold, and with a great sauce or dressing. Dressings vary from peanut dressing to creamy ginger dressings. I have shared two below which are family favorites. This is a vegetarian version, but can easily be made with your choice of protein. Pick your own ingredients and start building! Enjoy! BUDDHA BOWL INGREDIENTS 1 large sweet potato, cut in cubes 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 2 tsp. maple syrup 1⁄2 tsp. paprika 1⁄2 tsp. garlic powder Pinch of salt and pepper 2-3 cup brown rice, quinoa or wild rice, cooked 4 cup baby kale or spinach, chopped 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed 2 cans sweet corn, drained and rinsed 1⁄2 cup grated carrots 1 English cucumber, cut in chunks or slices 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1 small red onion, sliced thin 1 cup cabbage, chopped or sliced 1 avocado, sliced 1⁄4 cup sprouts of choice 4 T toasted seeds/nuts, your choice (pumpkin, pine nuts, sesame seeds, almond slices) 1⁄3 cup crumbled feta cheese or shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped 1⁄2 cup crushed corn tortilla chips RED PEPPER SAUCE INGREDIENTS 1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed 2 T olive oil or other neutral oil Juice from 1 lemon 1⁄2 tsp. pepper 1⁄2 tsp. salt 1⁄2 tsp. paprika 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Water as needed to thin 84
www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2017
TURMERIC/SRIRACHA/TAHINI DRESSING INGREDIENTS 4 T tahini 4 T warm water 1 tsp. maple syrup 1⁄4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1⁄2 tsp. turmeric 1⁄2 tsp. sriracha Salt to taste
BUDDHA BOWL DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cubed sweet potato on a cookie sheet and toss with 1 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes stirring halfway through. Remove and allow to cool. STEP 2: While the potato is cooking, prepare the garbanzo beans. In a bowl, place the maple syrup, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat a saucepan and then add the garbanzo mixture into the saucepan to cook for 15 – 20 minutes, stirring often throughout the cooking. Remove and allow to cool. STEP 3: Prepare the rest of the ingredients, placing in their individual bowls or on a large platter. The prep time involved will vary depending on the number of ingredients you are preparing. STEP 4: To build your bowl, start with a base layer of brown rice, quinoa or wild rice. Top with a good serving of the greens. Top with beans and add your choice of as many veggies you want. Top with sliced avocado slices, sprouts, nuts, seeds and cheese.
STEP 5: Generously drizzle the dressing or sauce all over the bowl ingredients, garnish with cilantro and crushed tortilla chips, and enjoy. RED PEPPER SAUCE DIRECTIONS STEP 1: To make red pepper sauce, add all dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add water, about 1 tsp. at a time, to the desired consistency. TURMERIC/SRIRACHA/TAHINI DRESSING DIRECTIONS STEP 1: To make dressing, whisk all ingredients together. Sample and adjust spice level as desired by adding a splash more of the sriracha.

Guiding LIGHT T H E C A N C E R A C T I O N N E T W O R K ’ S R O B I N R E N A U LT WHEN ROBIN RENAULT began volunteering for the American Cancer Society’s Redding Relay for Life in 2014, she had no idea that her response to a friend’s request for help with the local event would lead her into volunteer cancer advocacy work in Washington, D.C. “I knew nothing about the American Cancer Society,” says Renault, “but I felt since I was volunteering, I should learn more about it.” In her research, she discovered the society’s Cancer Action Network and says she felt led to move in that direction, perhaps in part due to her intimate family experience with the disease. “My sister has a horrific story,” say Renault. “Her twin daughters, Rebekah and Rachel, both had cancer. Rebekah, diagnosed at age 1 1/2, passed in July 2007. Rachel, who turned 13 this year and who was diagnosed at age 6, has been in remission since 2012.” The Cancer Action Network, which is the American Cancer Society’s non-partisan advocacy arm, lobbies Congress to make cancer prevention and early detection, research funding, access to care, tobacco regulation and quality of life for cancer patients national priorities.
After Renault shared her family’s story at a Relay meeting, one of her team members contacted someone in Sacramento, suggesting Renault would be perfect for the open Ambassador Constituent Team Lead position for the California Congressional District 1. “They invited me to the State Capitol Lobby Day in April 2015,” says Renault. “I think they wanted me to know what I would be getting myself into.” There she told her story to Assemblyman Brian Dahle and Senator Ted Gaines, and educated them on a couple of cancer-related bills, encouraging their vote for passage. “I immediately spoke with the Cancer Action Network contact in Sacramento and said, ‘Sign me up. I’m ready to be the official District 1 lead.’ I felt like I had made a difference.” In September, she was invited to Washington, D.C. to do it all over again with the Congressional representatives for District 1, where she advocated for a bill on palliative care for serious illness.4 continued on page 94

“Our whole mission is to put a face to the bill,” says Renault, “so that when it comes up for a vote, it becomes personal to elected officials. We want our representatives to realize their votes affect the lives of their constituents.” Renault says her niece Rebekah received ‘everyday care’ adding, “She was poked and prodded; medical staff forgot she was a baby. It would take weeks for the results to get from one doctor to another and cancer doesn’t stop growing.” Rebekah’s twin Rachel, however, had a very different experience. “While researching, I discovered the term palliative care and realized that was what Rachel was receiving. She had a team of doctors caring for her every need. My sister had a point of contact for any detail. Rebekah didn’t have that access.” Renault believes the 2015 palliative care bill win was only a beginning. “Palliative care is not just for hospice,” says Renault, “but also for patients at the start of diagnosis forward.” It can make a significant difference in patient outcomes. “If not for the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network, the availability of palliative care in the broader medical arena would not be where it is today,” says Renault, whose niece Rachel, although given a seven-year chemotherapy plan, went into remission within a year. “Her care was phenomenal.” In addition to the annual state and national lobby days, Renault visits local and neighboring district representatives in their offices, makes phone calls, circulates petitions and attends Relay for Life meetings. The biggest fundraiser, held annually on Lobby Day in Washington, D.C., takes the form of the largest luminaria display in the United States. “Last year we had at least 25,000 luminaria, 15 rows deep,” says Renault. Each $10 luminaria bag in memory or honor of a loved one comes with a membership to the Cancer Action Network. “I feel this is what I’m supposed to do,” she says. “I used to work at the courthouse and I love the law. It’s like it all came together, full circle.” • www.acscan.org
