editor’s note december 2017
GIVING. We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s better to give thanreceive.” And we couldn’t agree more! Sure, it’s fun to be on the receiving end yourself every once in a while, but how rewarding it is to give a gift to someone who truly treasures the time and thought you put into selecting that special something, or to see the delight in a child’s eyes when you give them a toy they’ve had on their Christmas list for months. When we take the time to look around, we can see the gifts we’ve been given in this area we call home. The lakes, the mountains, the rivers, the trails. If you’re looking for recreation, we’ve got options aplenty! Then there’s the people – amazing people – working diligently to build a better tomorrow, collaborating to help those who can’t help themselves, seeking solutions that lend a hand up. People working to bring arts, entertainment and creativity. They are working to bring new opportunities, new jobs, new hope to our communities.
And each and every month, the Enjoy team works tirelessly to bring a gift to this area that we hope you love and enjoy. (And by tirelessly, just ask Ronda Alvey, editor-in-chief, how late she sometimes works on each issue before we go to print). We take the ideas we hear about from our communities, put our top writers on them and have them craft stories to draw you in. Our dedicated photographers work to capture just the right images to bring the story to life. And our team of talented designers bring all their creative juices to the table to weave it all together, bringing a beautiful gift to the table for you to enjoy. We hope that each month, not just in December, you can delight in the present we bring to you within these pages. It’s our gift to you. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAYLA ANDERSON
A N O R T H S TAT E L AT T E A R T T O U R IF YOU ENJOY specialty coffees served in a house mug at a comfortable place to hang out for a while, then you may have noticed a heart, tulip or other design in the foam of your latte. The third wave of coffee culture is here and taking Northern California by storm. Here is a glimpse into three cafes dedicated to serving the perfect cup of joe that is also pretty to look at. IT’S A GRIND, CHICO On a Thursday morning at 9am, It’s A Grind in Chico is bustling with waves of people looking to get their fix before going into the office. Baristas are at the espresso machine, whipping up drinks for people to enjoy as they go about their day.
The resident It’s A Grind artist, Beth Keech, creates a dark chocolate mocha. After she pours the milk, she uses a stick and poke method to design a peacock in the foam. “I always do latte art if it’s a for-here drink,” says Keech. Since about 90 percent of the people who come in order blended or drinks in a to-go cup, it’s a rarity for Keech to get to practice her latte art. Although she says that she can’t create traditional hearts, rosettes or tulips, she is usually able to shape it into what she envisions when the blob of foam comes out. Some of her blobs have turned into unicorns, dragons, outer space landscapes, swans and fish. “I can’t do special requests – that’s too much pressure. I don’t have a plan when I pour art. If you want a bicycle and I have a good base for it, then I’ll make you a bicycle,”4 continued on page 24

“We don’t want to put coffee out there that’s not pictureworthy, although coffee itself is an art,” she adds. she says. Latte art is a pretty hidden form of expression since the designs start to dissipate after a couple of minutes, but Keech’s Instagram-worthy latte art does spark a reaction and maybe even a conversation. “People say, ‘Oh my God, I had no idea you could do this.’ They always appreciate it. See that guy over there?” she asks, pointing to a person sitting by the window. “He ordered a mocha. I’ve seen him come in regularly for the last six months, but today I gave it to him in a for-here cup and we started talking. He’s never talked to me before.” It’s A Grind Owner Norma Fatchen fully supports and encourages her baristas doing latte art for that purpose. “Coffee is a conduit to meet people,” Fatchen says. “It’s a craft, pulling the shot and measuring it out. All of our baristas are passionate and cognizant about it,” she adds. THE STIRRING, REDDING Even on a hot summer day in the heart of the valley, The Stirring is full of people hanging out and enjoying specialty hot and cold coffee drinks. When a vanilla latte is ordered, barista Tristan Bredemann carefully pulls the espresso shots, free pouring a perfect rosette into the foam before serving it up. “When I look at that,” says The Stirring Coffeehouse Manager Sharlene O’Reilly, pointing to the latte, “someone took time and effort to do that. We encourage our team to practice and try. There’s a lot of different ways to do art provided you have the right milk and microfoam.” “We don’t want to put coffee out there that’s not picture-worthy, although coffee itself is an art,” she adds. Bredemann’s favorite latte art depends on the mood he is in. If he’s in a rush, he sticks with rosettes but sometimes he likes to venture out to create swans and phoenixes. “I watched a lot of YouTube videos, which helps,” he says. “You can always be educated and the culture that coffee has created is astounding, it’s changed how people interact daily. My favorite part is seeing the look on people’s faces when they see a heart or something. Especially when you serve kids hot chocolates – it makes their day,” Bredemann adds. “We serve a great cup of love, a beverage that can help one’s vulnerabilities drop. Good coffee makes all the difference in how your day goes,” says O’Reilly.4 continued on page 26 24

Latte art is displayed on the large screen at Heritage Roasting Company’s Thursday Night Throwdown event
Heritage is really about community and the point of the TNT is to build that within the coffee culture.
HERITAGE ROASTING COMPANY, SHASTA LAKE Recently, Heritage Roasting Company (in conjunction with Espresso Parts) hosted a Thursday Night Throwdown latte art competition where local baristas joined together to see who could free pour the best latte art. Baristas paid a $5 fee to win the full pot and competed in a head-to-head bracketed format in a fight to the friendly finish. “Espresso Parts is based in Seattle and launched TNT Northwest; this year they invited Northern California,” says Heritage Co-Director Sara Sutherland. “Heritage is really about community and the point of the TNT is to build that within the coffee culture. People have to know how to pour a heart (to compete in a TNT) and that takes a lot of time to build. It takes at least a week to get the concept down but probably months to years to get consistent at it.” The first pours begin, and three local judges base their decisions on a criteria that includes contrast, symmetry and design in their latte art to determine who advances to the next round. In the next two hours as baristas pour hearts, tulips and rosettes, it’s pretty clear who the winner is. Amongst cheers and dancing, specialty coffee lovers leave with a newfound appreciation of latte art or a desire to take their own coffee drinks to the next level. • Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt.

Made with Love
H O M E M A D E G I F T S F O R T H E H O L I DAY S WE ALL HAVE those people in our lives that seem impossible to shop for. Instead of shopping for a gift, try making a personalized present for your loved ones. Here are some easy gift ideas that you can make at home, using items that you can find around the house or that are easily accessible at your local grocery store, craft store or value store.
FOOD Salsa and chips, jerky, peppermint bark, cookies, candies or any type of sweets are all delectable choices to give as gifts. To package your food items, Mason jars can be filled with pretty much anything from dry ingredients to make cookies to hot cocoa mix. Other ideas include pancake mix, jams, chai tea mix, chocolate sauce, muffin mix, caramel corn, chocolate-dipped pretzels or brownie mix. For a more savory option, try a ranch dressing mix, a dry rub for meat, barbecue sauce or a pasta fagioli soup mix. Attach a tablespoon or teaspoon to the jar with a ribbon. Other creative ways to package your food items could be stacked on coasters, wrapped in individual serving dishes such as ramekins, mugs or old-fashioned glasses, wrapped like candy with the ends tied or placed in an egg carton lined with cupcake wrappers. Use cellophane and lots of ribbon.
HOUSEHOLD Mason jar lid coasters: For once, the Mason jar isn’t the star of the DIY hack—it’s the lid we are focused on, instead. Place four lids upside down on top of an adhesive cork shelf liner. Trace around the lids with a pen, then cut out the circles. Stamp an image into the center of each cork circle, using solvent-based ink, which won’t smear when wet. Let the ink dry at least one minute, then peel the backing off the cork circles and affix within the lids. Bent spoon recipe box: All you need is a small box, which you can find at a craft store for a few dollars, or pick up a recipe box from Enjoy the Store for $20, an old spoon and some Glass, Metal & More glue. You can paint or stain your box or leave as-is. Bend your spoon at a 90-degree angle. Lightly sand the widest point of the handle’s back side. Apply Glass, Metal & More glue along the sanded area. Center the spoon atop the box, press and hold for one minute, then let set overnight. For extra flourish, include a set of recipe cards in your recipe box.4 continued on page 30

Bookmarks: Cut velvet ribbon into nine-inch lengths. Purchase ribbon clamps the same width as your ribbon, then use flat-nose jewelry pliers to affix clamps to both ends of each ribbon. Finish by attaching charms, trinkets or vintage earrings to the clamps with jump rings. Jewelry magnets: You can turn any piece of jewelry into a refrigerator magnet by using a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the pin hardware from the back of each piece of jewelry, then affix a strong magnet with a small bead of instant glue. Let dry overnight. Candles: Scour your pantry, flea markets and antique shops for items that would make containers for candles, such as teacups, sugar bowls or jelly jars. Choose pieces solid enough to withstand hot wax. To make your candle, you will need wax, wicks, putty, a pencil and a candy thermometer, all of which can be found at a craft store. Use soy or beeswax to make your candle. Most waxes adhere well to porcelain, ceramic and glass containers. To make clear candles, use gel wax in glass. Wax is sold in blocks, sheets and shavings that can be melted on a stove or in a microwave. Personalized pillows: We used a freezer paper stencil method for these pillows. Print out your desired design. Place your design on freezer paper, shiny side down. Use a little tape so that your design doesn’t move around. While working on top of a piece of cardboard, use an X-Acto knife to cut out your design. Remove the piece of cardboard and iron on the freezer paper stencil to your pillow, shiny side down. Use acrylic paint to paint on the material. After the paint dries, peel the freezer paper off. ART Photo album or photo book: Gather old photos or print out new ones to make your own photo album or photo book. You can grab an album or book from your local craft store or department store.
Aprons are the perfect gift for those special chefs in your life. Personalize them for an added touch. Sweater sleeves can go on wine bottles and make for great host/hostess gifts. You will need an old or thrifted sweater, scissors, a sewing machine and thread, ribbon and a pen or marker. Cut 12 inches of the sleeve off. Then, using a marker, outline the bottom of a wine bottle (adding a bit for seam allowance) and cut a circle out of the sweater. Turn the sleeve inside out so the wrong side is facing outward. Match the circle to the cut edge of the sleeve and sew together around the circle. If your sweater sleeve is larger than your circle, you might have to make a small dart for the extra. Turn right side out and add a bottle of wine and a ribbon.
Picture frames: You can find frames at the dollar store or a craft store, print your pictures at home and use any kind of paint or craft items to decorate the frame. You can also use words or quotes to decorate the frame.
Quilts: A standard quilt or a T-shirt quilt is always a winner. It may be too late in the game to make a quilt, but you can always start to think about making one for next year’s hoiday gifts. •
Frame your child’s artwork: Grandparents love to receive masterpieces from their grandchildren.
Kendra Kaiserman is a recent graduate of Simpson University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in communication with an emphasis in journalism. Originally from Manteca, she enjoys trips to Santa Cruz, writing, reading and playing soccer.
Souvenir boxes: Have you gone on a family vacation or a trip with friends recently? Keep those memories forever by making a souvenir box. Cut your destination out of a map and use a glue stick to paste it onto the box’s lid. Affix a label on the lid and write in the location and dates of your journey.

BEYOND —THE B A N D A N A — W E C A N D O I T W I T H N A O M I PA R K E R - F R A L E Y A WOMAN STANDS over a lathe, focused intently on her work, her coveralls nearly grazing the floor. He hair is secured neatly and safely under a red and white polkadotted scarf. Not one bit of her beauty, strength, determination or fortitude is hidden behind her work clothes. The black-and-white snapshot was taken in 1942 at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Alameda as part of a campaign to show women what “appropriate work attire” looked like now that they were moving into the typically male-dominated work force. It would be the very same photo that Naomi Parker-Fraley would find at the “Gathering of The Rosies” at the Rosie The Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond, Calif. in 2009. Parker-Fraley and her younger sister, Ada Wyn Parker Loy, fought their way through traffic to be there at the Gathering of the Rosies. The women, 89 and 87 years old at the time, were blown away to see the photo of ParkerFraley featured at the event – and even more astonished to
find it erroneously captioned with the name of Geraldine Hoff Doyle. And so began their long and arduous journey to get the world to recognize the woman in the photo by her rightful name. Aside from the initial shock of realizing that the photo had been misidentified as someone else, Parker-Fraley had no idea how inextricably linked her photo was to a worldrenowned image. You’ve seen the poster – the one featuring the woman who meets your gaze and stares back at you with the conviction that there is nothing she can’t do. The version you’ve seen likely had the words “We Can Do It!” in bold letters across the top, a pointed message that has inspired people for more than 75 years. The original poster was designed in 1943 by J. Howard Miller, a graphic artist commissioned by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. to create posters intended to garner support for the war effort. Miller was said to have been inspired Norman Rockwell, as well as by photos4 continued on page 34

he had seen of women working in a factory. Miller’s poster is often mistakenly referred to as “Rosie the Riveter.” The name “We Can Do It” was a free alternative to the copyrighted and thereby expensive-touse name associated with the Norman Rockwell original. Over the years, innumerable replicas of “We Can Do It” have been made in the image of the original, each with their own cultural or artistic nod, printed en masse on T-shirts, market bags, refrigerator magnets, wall art and the like. Naomi Parker-Fraley’s original photo, entitled “Woman at the Lathe,” may have been the inspiration for the artwork that would give
a face to the modern day women’s movement, although the claim has yet to be verified. A search of the artist’s belongings never turned up a photo of Parker-Fraley. But that signature red and white polka-dotted scarf worn by the woman in the poster, strikingly similar to the one Parker-Fraley distinctly remembers buying at a five-and-dime store coupled with the fact that Parker-Fraley’s photo appeared in largescale newspapers and magazines across the nation the year before the poster was created - certainly makes the case for it. Parker-Fraley has never been too concerned about whether she inspired the poster. She merely wanted people to know it was her who
HEALTHGreenville Native American Medicine Wheel Traditional Healers and Healing.
WISE
Native American traditions are not based on a fixed set of beliefs or on an interpretation of sacred writings, but on the knowledge of the rhythm of life which they received through the observation of nature. The Medicine Wheel can take many different forms. The term “medicine” was not applied due to any healing that was associated with the medicine wheel, but denotes that the sacred site and rock formations were of central importance and attributed to religious, hallowed, and spiritual significance. The Medicine Wheel, sometimes known as the Sacred Hoop, has been used by generations of various Native American tribes for health and healing. It embodies the Four (cardinal) Directions, as well as Father Sky, Mother Earth, Spirit Tree, and Center (Self). All of which symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life. Each compass direction on the wheel offers lessons and gifts that support the development of a balanced individual. The idea is to remain balanced at the center of the wheel while equally developing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
aspects of one’s personality. The concept varies among Native people: different groups attribute different gifts to positions on the wheel. Movement in the Medicine Wheel and in Native American ceremonies is circular, and typically in a clockwise, or “sun-wise” direction. This helps to align with the forces of Nature, such as gravity and the rising and setting of the Sun. The following offers a generalized overview of some lessons and gifts connected with the development process. LESSONS & GIFTS EAST: (Fire) the place of first light, spring, and birth, include: Warmth of the spirit, trust, and hope. SOUTH: (Water) the place of the summer and youth, include: Generosity, sensitivity, and loyalty. WEST: (Earth) the place of autumn and adulthood, include: Dreams, prayers, and meditation. NORTH: (Air) the place of winter and elders, include: Detach from hate, jealousy, desire, anger, and fear.

appeared in that photo taken at the lathe more than 70 years ago. “As far as she is concerned, she was merely doing her part,” explains her stepson, John Fraley. He remembers her saying, “What was I going to do - just sit on the couch?” As one of the first 30 women hired in Alameda to what ParkerFraley has always referred to as “the vanguard of women,” she just jumped in, rolled up her sleeves and did what needed to be done. Marnie Blankenship, Parker-Fraley’s daughter-in-law, shared some of ParkerFraley’s words in a recent article: “It was all of us. There were many of us that went to the factories and worked and helped out with the effort - not just me. We all did it. We all deserve the same recognition.” That team spirit transcended Parker-Fraley’s efforts at the Naval Air Station and nestled itself within her life. “It’s hard not to love her. She’s way too giving. She’d literally give you the shirt off her back,” says Fraley. “Soon after she married my dad, she dedicated herself to God and charity work. She’s a jump-in-there-and-help kind of person. If there is a need, she’d like to fill it.” At 96 years young, Parker-Fraley, who lived in Cottonwood until earlier this year, was
relocated with her sister to Washington to be closer to her son and his family. Although she is deaf and is living with a terminal illness, “she’s still shining just as she always has,” says Fraley. When asked what those who have been inspired by Parker-Fraley can do to help the woman who has made such a lasting impression on the world, Fraley said simply: “Listen to her story. Learn the lessons. This is an important time for women. “I want people to know her as more than just a picture or a poster,” says Fraley. “As much as that poster has been to people, she’s so much more than that. I think she’s a treasure.” • www.naomiparkerfraley.com

GOOD FINDS
D A N DY L I O N S C H I L D R E N ’ S S H O P I N R E D B L U F F ADDING TO THE NOSTALGIA of historic downtown Red Bluff is a toy store called Dandy Lions, with a mission to bring quality, non-toxic play items to kids in a fun way. “When I was little, I remember going to the toy store with my grandparents,” says owner Jessica Sylvia, 41. “And it was memorable. That’s the feeling I try to replicate.” She keeps play zones around the shop where kids can test drive toys and keep themselves occupied while parents shop. While a toy store is a natural vantage point from which to watch children grow, the growth of Sylvia as a businesswoman is just as phenomenal. “A year before this happening, I would have never, ever thought that this is
where I would be.” And yet, she says, “I love it here. I absolutely love it here.” Eight years ago Sylvia would have described herself as the proud mom of two young boys who became “the Saturday girl” at children’s resale store Two Peas in a Pod. “It became a break from my life,” she says of her weekly gig at the cash register. “It was so nice.” Yet the day came when it looked like Two Peas in a Pod would close. Customers shared their grief with Sylvia, who had a keen sense of it herself. When one suggested she keep the business going, she responded, “I’m too scared to go into business.” With a laugh, she adds, “Nine4 continued on page 38 DECEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

days later, we signed the lease.” The first incarnation of Dandy Lions was born, a primarily resale children’s clothing and baby items store. Tucked back a few blocks from Main Street, it was known by word of mouth but didn’t have a large presence in the community. Not much later, Sylvia opened Wholesome Goods, an attempt to bring fresh, organic and natural foods to Red Bluff. While she eventually closed this venture, Sylvia didn’t revert to the fear that originally held her back in business. “I went to a baby shower and nothing came from our store,” she says. “I knew I was missing an opportunity.” With that insight, she took the leap to Main Street and revamped her business model to move from resale to primarily new toys and upscale, carefully curated lines of children’s clothes. Now, she says, “People come to my store to get a baby shower gift or a birthday party gift that is unique and not cookie cutter. They aren’t getting the same plastic toy.” The move to Main Street, nestled amongst a bevy of unique shops such as Wink, Discover Earth and Enjoy the Store, has made all the difference. “It was a game changer,” says Sylvia. “I have great neighbors, and there’s something about that side of the street, too.” That “something” on the 600 block of Main Street is a network of primarily women entrepreneurs who support and encourage each other through savvy collaboration. “We all text each other. We bounce ideas off each other. It’s great to work in community rather than just working alone,” she adds. Sylvia brought not only a service for children and families to the mix of businesses, but an upgrade to a building that was well-loved yet the victim of wellintentioned yet not well-executed upgrades over the years. “I’m really waiting for the spirits of the old owners to come tell me why they changed the facade of the old building,” she says with a laugh. Under layers of carpet and linoleum, Sylvia found old floors that she painstakingly prepped for restoration. “I don’t understand why my arms aren’t like Popeye’s4 continued on page 40

“If it’s in the store, it’s passed some serious criteria,” she says. “I’m really organic. Just because it’s safe today doesn’t mean it’s going to be safe in five years.”
because it was so much work to get to those floors,” she adds. “The ceilings were a beautiful color of nicotine yellow and the fans were brasstastic.” Perhaps most famously, the fans were held up by bolted-in toilet seats, causing a chuckle or gasp of anyone careful enough to notice. “That all had to go,” deadpans Sylvia. Just as much care now goes into what enters the building in terms of product. “If it’s in the store, it’s passed some serious criteria,” she says. “I’m really organic. Just because it’s safe today doesn’t mean it’s going to be safe in five years.” Lines include products made from bamboo such as Kickee Pants – “they’re so soft,” says Sylvia – and all-natural rubber, such as the French line Sophie the Giraffe. She supports local, as well, with Biter Beads “chewlry” made by a Chico mom needing safe items that her son who has autism could chew on. As the winter holidays come around, Sylvia looks forward to keeping up her eye-catching window displays for a new group of shoppers who will flock to Main Street for celebratory gift-giving. “When I was little, probably middle school or high school, I thought that I wanted to be someone who decorated windows. And now that I’m doing it, oh man, it’s a lot of work,” she laughs. It’s an effort that’s well appreciated on Main Street, however, not only by her neighbors, but by customers wanting to create the same memories for their own children and grandchildren that Sylvia holds so dear from her childhood. • Dandy Lions • 623 Main Street, Red Bluff • (530) 527-7755

let your light shine H I G H L I G H T I N G H O L I D AY B E A U T Y GET OUT YOUR GLITTER, folks! It’s that magical time of the year for that holiday razzle-dazzle! Step out of that everyday makeup routine and step into a fabulous and festive 2018. I have been writing holiday makeup how-to’s for the past 11 years and it never gets old. I love December (and not just because it is my birthday month). December holds certain magic—maybe it’s the twinkle lights—and everyone knows I’m a sucker for red lips and glitter eyeliner. But the new, sophisticated makeup this season will make you look luminous, healthy and happy. Micro-shimmer makeup—in the form of nail polishes, eye shadows, and skin highlighters—is the latest breakthrough to light up your look. The secret is the super-
refined mica, essentially a mineral dust, which becomes barely perceptible light-reflecting particles in the products, giving just a hint of sheen while also blurring imperfections. The end result is a gorgeous, subtle gleam that shows off your natural sparkle. For fired-up fingernails, metallic micro-shimmers are the best of both worlds. You get all the refined, wear-withanything benefits of a metallic—which really acts as a neutral—and the fun and edginess of a shimmer. Plus, the mica in the formulas extends the wear of the polishes. (Try Essie polish in Beyond Cozy, $9.) For an everyday look, keep nails short with rounded edges.4 continued on page 44

Illuminate your eyelids this season in richly pigmented neutrals and bold jewel tones. Give your gaze a sexy, electric look with a night-out worthy, yet day-appropriate monochromatic palette for maximum use. Apply a matching eyeliner and eye shadow, limiting the color to your upper lid. Stop before you reach the crease, then finish with a few coats of black mascara. (Check out Avon Mega Metals Cream Eye Shadow in Plum Metallic, $7, or Maybelline The Rock Nudes Palette, $12.) And don’t forget the high-beam dream skin. Highlighters now contain such ultrafine flecks of shimmer that they blend effortlessly. For normal to oily skin, go for a powder that you apply with a brush. If you’re dry, smooth a cream formula on with your fingers, and apply strategically. Putting shimmer on all over will make you either

look sweaty or like J-Lo at a Grammys performance. Instead, place it along your cheekbones and browbones, down your nose and at the Cupid’s bow of your lip. When highlighters are sheer, you can wear any shade; a bronze tone adds warmth, pink brightens, and opalescents add the boldest glow. (Try Stila Cosmetics Star Light, Star Bright Highlighting Palette, $39, or Mary Kay Glowing Finish Illuminating Stick in Gold or Bronze, $12.) For the very daring, here are some 2018 beauty trends that showed up on the runway: Super long fake lashes. And yes, even on the bottom. Not quite your thing? Try elongating your own lashes with Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara, $25. And graphic liner is still around, just not the wings we saw last season. Go for bold, geometric designs and the electric, new generation cat eye. It’s an edgy, rock ‘n’ roll look that’s sure to grab everyone’s attention. As for lips, the darker the better, as the gothic look shows. Go ahead and rock the wine-colored lip, or even a statement lip with glitter, but leave the rest of the face more neutral. And a glowing complexion is never out of style, so opt for liquid foundations that melt into the skin for a glowing, almost wet finish. There is really only one rule to follow: Don’t be halfhearted. Own your look and give in to the magic of the holidays. ‘Tis the season! • Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching.

T H E S I S K I YO U I C E R I N K I N M O U N T S H A S TA IF THERE’S ONE THING an ice rink needs, it’s ice. Selfexplanatory, certainly, but nonetheless, it was an issue at the Siskiyou Ice Rink last year when a compressor failed and the chiller – the refrigeration unit required to keep ice frozen – went on the fritz. Mount Shasta’s beloved outdoor rink was on the brink; its operators were preparing to shut it down ahead of this winter’s season. But an anonymous donor, working through the Marin Community Foundation, stepped up to save the day. After negotiating with the Mt. Shasta Recreation and Parks District and the volunteer Friends of the Rink, the mysterious benefactor contributed $95,000 – enough money to replace both compressors, bring the chiller back to like-new condition and upgrade the Zamboni icesurfacing machine. “It’s looking good this year,” says Mount Shasta resident Steve Bachmann, president of Friends of the Rink.
“Everything is fixed. The Zamboni is fixed, the chiller is fixed … the rink is in the best shape it’s ever been going into this season.” Mount Shasta City Council member John Stackfleth, who doubles as the rink manager (and weekend Zamboni operator), is optimistic the rink will top the 10,000-visitor mark this winter to set an attendance record. “We are looking forward to a full 14-week season,” Stackfleth says. At an impressive 85 feet wide and 200 feet long, the size of a regulation National Hockey League venue, the Siskiyou Ice Rink is the largest outdoor rink in California and the largest rink between San Jose and Medford, Ore. As such, it attracts recreational skaters and hockey players from throughout the North State and during the holidays it’s not unusual to encounter visitors from as far away as Switzerland and New Zealand. 4 continued on page 48

“We get a lot of great support from the community and the North State,” says Mike Rodriguez, head of the Mt. Shasta Recreation and Parks District. “We’re very happy and excited to have this facility to provide all these recreational opportunities.” Those opportunities include adult and youth hockey programs that continue to gain in popularity. Mark Thibideau, a Forest Service firefighter from Dunsmuir who grew up playing hockey in Indiana, runs the Mt. Shasta Icebreakers. He expects more than 40 kids will be involved in the nonprofit hockey association this winter. Beginners practice on Monday and Wednesday while intermediate and advanced players, under the guidance of Chris McGrew, gather on Tuesday and Thursday. Both groups scrimmage on Saturdays. “We also encourage the younger kids to come out on Sundays for pickup games and play with adults,” Thibideau says.

The young coach, now in his fifth year with the Icebreakers, says it may be the “cheapest youth hockey program in the country.” An entire family can sign up for about $250 and that includes the required gear and membership in U.S. Hockey. Weed resident Crystal Summers is not a hockey player but she enjoys watching. Even more so, she enjoys skating with her friends and siblings. A native of Southern California, she says she wasn’t introduced to ice skating until she moved north. “The staff is always super helpful and cheery. I didn’t know how to skate but a staff member showed me some tricks. It’s not very hard.” Summers says the special events – the Turkey Bowl, visiting with Santa, the two-for-one Cheap Skate Night, Valentine’s Day and the rest – add to the fun, but the best part of the rink is the chance to skate in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. “It’s definitely beautiful,” Summers says. During4 continued on page 50

night skating sessions when the weather is clear, the stars are out and the moon is full, Rodriguez says it can be almost magical. The Siskiyou Ice Rink came to life in 2000, thanks to the work of skating enthusiasts, local contributors and grants from the McConnell Foundation and the Ford Foundation of Roseburg, Ore. Originally built on a sand foundation, the rink was upgraded in 2004 with a cement pad, courtesy of another substantial grant from the McConnell Foundation. The rink’s biggest challenge is the lack of a roof to shield the ice from snow and rain, and a storm-shortened season in 2010-11 forced the parks district to close it. Friends of the Rink was formed to take over management of the rink and it reopened for the 2012-13 season. The aforementioned anonymous donor visited the rink in 2013 and asked what was needed to ensure its viability. Bachmann says the Friends of the Rink offered a list of options and the donor chose to fund the expansion to a full-sized, NHL-caliber rink. The $223,000 donation included new dasher boards, a concrete sidewalk and new wiring for the lighting and sound system. “They literally came in out of the blue and basically asked what we needed to make it successful,” Bachmann says.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net DECEMBER 2017
The support from philanthropists has been huge, but Stackfleth says the rink’s biggest source of support may just be the mountain itself. Skaters from Siskiyou, Shasta and Tehama counties, and a surprising number from the Bay Area, have been flocking to the rink “because they like the outdoor feel of it and the great view of Mt. Shasta. It’s definitely a very special location to skate. People just love coming out to do that.” • Siskiyou Ice Rink Shastice Park, 800 Rockfellow Drive Scheduled to be open from Nov. 18 to Feb. 25 www.siskiyourink.org www.facebook.com/rinkfriends (530) 926-1715

y of Freebo
SINGER-SONGWRITER FREEBO TO PLAY IN REDDING FROM WORLD-RENOWNED bassist to awardwinning singer-songwriter, Freebo touches your heart with songs of passion that reflect his commitment to the creation of a conscious, socially involved planet. For years, he was known as one of the finest bass guitarists in the music industry. He played bass with Maria Muldaur on “Midnight at the Oasis” and on more than 100 classic rock records by artists like Crosby, Stills and Nash, Ringo Starr, Dr. John and Aaron Neville. He toured and played for a decade with Bonnie Raitt, often as just a duo, becoming firmly entrenched in the minds of many music lovers as that silent, frizzy-haired bass player with the deep grooves. His standing gig with her put him in the epicenter of the singer-songwriter scene. His musical journey began in a small Pennsylvania town, where he grew up playing football and basketball and dreaming of becoming a doctor. He began playing piano as a child and learned the ukulele. He fell in love with the tuba after seeing the children’s story, “Tubby the Tuba.” Attending college in the early 1960s, he began his transformation from conservative kid to counterculture young adult. It was there that he began playing the bass guitar. “I had gone there on a
strict pre-med track,” he says. “Calculus, physics, chemistry and biology. I didn’t do very well at it.” So he drifted away from school into the music scene. That was also about the time that the name Freebo came into existence. The Afro-wearing musician’s nickname evolved from “Fro” to “Frobee” to “Freebo,” and that fit his newly evolving personality perfectly. His band soon evolved into the Edison Electric Band, whose 1970 album, “Bless You, Dr. Woodward,” a collection of blues-jazz-pop-rock, turned out to be the only record by the group. “We were a funky, funky, psychedelic blues-rock band,” Freebo says. One day they were playing at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia as the opening act for Procol Harum, and one of the band’s managers brought his girlfriend to see Edison Electric. That girlfriend was an 18-year-old Bonnie Raitt, and as Freebo recalls, “She loved it.” A couple years after that, Raitt gave Freebo a call and said she had a record deal and wanted to work with him. “That began my 10 years with Bonnie. I made the first seven records with her; for the first three years together we were a duet, and just being with her took me to another level and put me on the national map as a bass player.”4 continued on page 54 DECEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
53
But something was missing: “It turns out there was a part of me that really was yearning for self-expression, and it was about more than playing bass,” he says. “I had all these other ideas – I had melodic ideas, rhythmic ideas, philosophical ideas, arrangement ideas…and I really didn’t have a place to put it. So I realized I needed a vehicle to put all these ideas and creativity into, and it turns out that was the song.” He has now firmly established himself as a singer-songwriter. In recent years, he has recorded five solo albums: “The End Of The Beginning” (1999), “Dog People” (2002), “Before The Separation” (2006), “Something to Believe” (2011) and “If Not Now When” (2015). His songs are thoughtful, passionate and often philosophical takes on life, love, politics and dogs. In fact, he classifies his songs into those four categories. “Now I’m a writing fool,” he says. “I love the process and it has given me the freedom I’m seeking. The yearning, churning, burning deep inside is gone. I’m much more at peace as a human being. “I’m a natural teacher and I like to share what I’ve learned. That’s why I do songwriting retreats and mix music with speaking with folks. I feel like I’ve got the empathy that someone who has been writing their entire life doesn’t have. I can relate to the fear that people have in comparing yourself to others. When you’re going through crazy times, one of the most healing things to do is to write about it. Put it in an art form. Write poetry, a journal, paint, dance; just get it out.” • Freebo with Alice Howe Friday, January 12 Oaksong Music Society at Pilgrim Congregational Church 2850 Foothill Blvd., Redding www.brownpapertickets.com

Chad Thompson, CEO & President Redding Countertops Inc.
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: FULL OF BEAUTY… Having grown up most my life in Redding, I was anxious to move onto “bigger and better” destinations upon graduation from high school... with little desire to ever return. However, after an 18-year adventure with stops in San Luis Obispo, Southern California and Chicago, I found myself at a crossroads in life; continue my career at UPS with a move to Atlanta or hang up my suit and tie and move back to Redding to help continue the legacy of our family business. Nearly 12 years has since passed and I find myself with zero regrets and a high sense of pride for our community. It has not only provided a safe, caring and family oriented environment to raise our children, but has also reconnected us with the beauty of Shasta County, which I admittedly took for granted as a child. This beauty is now fully appreciated and enjoyed by our family with activities such as walking the river trail, hiking one of our many trail systems and backpacking in the mountain ranges that surround us. Some often say “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone”; but I contest, “you don’t fully appreciate what you have till you return.”

THE TWO-STORY HOUSE on McCloud’s Main Street breathes out the small mill town’s past, but behind the front red door, a business is changing the world: One Heart Collective. Wooden tables and shelving, a woodstove and steamer trunks hold handcrafted goods by craftsmen from around the world. A chalkboard reminds the customer of what they accomplish here: “Your purchase: helps to rescue victims of human trafficking; is sourced ethically; helps to prevent child abandonment, trafficking and slavery.” John and Terina Dutton began to travel into Africa more than a decade ago, looking to make a difference. John, a quarterback in the Arena Football league, spent the off season with Terina working in
areas where poverty saw families sell their young girls just to provide food for their homes. They adopted two Ethiopian boys, Mikias and Solomon, adding to their family which included their children Zach, Drew, and Gabriella. The Duttons wanted to make an even bigger difference. “We knew if we could provide families with jobs, it would change a girl’s future from being trafficked to having hope,” Terina says. “By opening a store, selling their goods, we could provide a market for their family’s creations. We opened our first boutique in Jinja, Uganda in 2016 and we recently opened our second location this past summer in McCloud.”4 continued on page 62

From floor to ceiling, the lives of women and families far from McCloud are represented. Fair trade teas and coffees wait to be brewed. Handcrafted fabric and leather goods represent hours of work in the form of purses, jewelry and artwork. Soup mixes bring meals from far away, while greeting cards wait to be filled with messages. Scarves drape on stands, waiting to join the right outfit. The store extends online, reaching out across the world, giving opportunity to families beyond their impoverished surroundings. Extending the outreach between the lives of these girls and the customer is the One Heart Collective Trunk Show. A volunteer agrees to host a Trunk Show and receives a box of products to sell at their work, home or any organization willing to host. Each box is filled with popular items from the store, along with a guide of how to host the party. Terina says, “We want to cultivate an awareness of the people we serve and create a way people can directly help them with the funds that are generated.” The store gives the community of McCloud a global outreach. Among the stands of pines is a connection to a larger world. “Here is a place where you can speak up for those without a voice, give justice to the weak and fatherless, and defend the rights of the poor,” Terina says, “All from your living room.” •

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:

QUALITY CONTROL
D A L E A N D J U DY M C C A S K E Y ’ S H AT C H E T M O U N TA I N F O R E S T P R O D U C T S DEEP IN THE FOREST, east of Redding and high above Montgomery Creek, technology is brewing as Dale and Judy McCaskey pursue their woodworking craft, producing flooring and paneling as well as huge slabs of custom wood products they mill on computerized machines. Their business, Hatchet Mountain Forest Products, is nestled among the tall timber at the end of a graveled Johnson Road. The wind was blowing fiercely outside whipping tarps covering stacks upon stacks of rough cut lumber while inside one of several large shops, Dale was operating a giant router machine, leveling both sides of a 12-footlong, two-inch-thick solid walnut plank destined to become a table or bar countertop.

After 30 years, the McCaskeys found a niche in the forest. The mom and pop business owners buy pine, fir and cedar logs from local land owners and walnut trees from private sources, then mill the wood into quality lumber. The buyers of their finished product are not the big-box stores or other larger lumber outlets. They sell to homeowners and contractors who are building cabinets or laying floors or paneling walls for new homes and remodels. When the McCaskeys first came to the area from San Diego, where he was in the Navy specializing in electronics and Judy was a business office manager, they built their home with minimal milling equipment. Since then, they have expanded their collection of high-tech machines so they can do all the intricate work themselves.4 continued on page 66 DECEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“All this equipment has been designed so she and I can run it,” Dale explains. “We can do it all with the help of two four-wheel-drive forklifts that can roll on uneven terrain and we’ve designed special lifting straps to move heavy planks.” It’s a low-level industrial operation, he says, adding, “As small as we are and as old as we are, it had to be designed that way.” Just like any milling operation, the logs are rough-cut into planks and stacked until they are needed for a single project. That’s when machines and pure ingenuity come into place. “We mostly sell a mix of slabs of black oak or red oak for tongue-and-groove flooring and pine, cedar and fir for paneling,” Dale says. “When an owner is building or remodeling, they tell us what type of wood they want and we mill it for them.’ On the flip side, if homeowners have a tree to be removed, the McCaskeys will mill it for the seller’s project or for Hatchet Mountain Forest Products. The milling operation stays small and addresses one project at a time because of their fundamental philosophy: quality control. “We only contract flooring, paneling and slabs. We’re different than typical woodworkers,” Dale says. “We take better care of machine blades and most of the wood is kiln dried.” Their own custom-made kiln will handle large, thick planks, with stickers between the layers so heated air can circulate through them and basically kill any bugs and residue hiding in walnut and oak.

The double-surface planer in another building feeds itself, with Judy at one end and Dale at the other, ensuring it feeds correctly. The laser-guided rip saw cuts the planks’ edges perfectly straight and is also a self-feeder. Another machine cuts all four sides of the tongue-and-groove floor planks. It also cuts lap grooves for wall planks. Another aspect of the operation is sandwiching two planks together, making a plank much wider, often three to four feet or more in width. “We glue them together for table tops and we use large clamps and custom-made jigs placed on the top and the bottom of the planks to keep them level,” Judy explains. The couple agree their business is much more than just a business. It’s a passion. “We love what we do, but not so much as a business,” Dale says. “We love the forest.” And, in return, it seems the forest is pretty good to them. •
“WE LOVE WHAT WE DO… BUT NOT SO MUCH AS A BUSINESS,” DALE SAID. “WE LOVE THE FOREST.”

HUNDREDS OF SANTAS will soon take over the streets of downtown Redding, and you’re invited to grab a beer and join the fun. Viva Downtown’s inaugural Santa Pub Crawl is set for Dec. 16 from 7 pm until participating pubs shut down for the night. “We saw larger cities doing this event, and we thought, why not have one in Redding?” says Viva Downtown Event Coordinator Joe Shipman, who sought wisdom from the coordinators of Reno’s highly popular Santa Pub Crawl. “We wanted to do something fun for the community at
Christmastime, and this is right in our wheelhouse.” Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance on Viva Downtown’s website (up to 500 tickets will be sold). On the night of the event, patrons (who are strongly encouraged to dress like Santa) will check in at the Viva Downtown office next to the Cascade Theatre, where they’ll receive a “holiday swag bag” and a map of participating pubs,4 continued on page 76 DECEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

which will be offering discounted drinks to pub crawlers. A digital map will also be available so people can scan it and see where to go. “Then you can hit the town,” Shipman says. More than 10 pubs are expected to participate, all of which are within walking distance of each other. “We think it will really open people’s eyes that it is a short walk to go to all the downtown locations,” Shipman says. “It’s a quick, five-minute walk from one side of downtown to the other.” He also hopes it will introduce folks to places they’ve never been before. “Events like this get people to expand their drinking establishments, to go to a bar they might not usually go to,” Shipman says. “It’s on the list, so they pop in there and say, ‘Wow, this place is really cool.’ We have some new places downtown, and places under new ownership, so it’s a good opportunity to expose those places, as well.” Shipman has lived in the North State since 1998, with the exception of his time in college. “Events like this, like Hops and Shops, get everyone out to walk around. You see your friends you haven’t seen in

a while and catch up with them,” Shipman says. “Redding is still a small town and it seems everyone knows everyone. When you’re down here, you recognize faces and everyone is here for the same reasons – they love the area, they love our community and our atmosphere. It’s pretty cool to see.” Dust off your black boots, pull out your red hat and coat, and practice your “ho, ho, ho.” There’s a holly, jolly pint waiting downtown just for you. • Santa Pub Crawl • December 16, 7 pm - close www.vivadowntownredding.org

PROTECTING OUR CLIENTS’ LEGACY
In 2014, the attorneys at Burgess & Bogener, Inc. became deeply involved in a land dispute over the future of a 4,500 acre range located in Butte County. On one side of the dispute were four siblings who wished to keep the property and preserve a family legacy literally built by the hands of their parents. On the other side was a group of extended family members who were arguing for the entire range to be sold and the profits divided. The land at issue in this case is wellknown, sitting adjacent to the famous Honey Run Covered Bridge and featuring a series of iconic large Buttes that are visible when traveling the Skyway. The Honey Run Covered Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the
(530) 605-0355 1650 East Street, Redding, CA 96001 www.bbredding.lawyer
only covered bridge in the United States with three unequal sections. It is only one of eleven covered bridges still standing in California and its presentation over Butte Creek is highly impressive. After years of complex litigation and droves of expert depositions, the case proceeded to trial. On the eve of the third day of trial the parties were able to reach a settlement that afforded the siblings ownership of the land they desired to preserve their family history and homestead. Should you ever have the opportunity, Brett Werner take a drive on the Skyway to view Photography the Buttes where we once stood at their height or walk the covered bridge over the highly protected Butte Creek.

songs of the season
FAVO R I T E C H R I S T M A S S O N G S F R O M H I P H O P TO H O N K Y TO N K IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON and time for that glorious subculture of popular music – it’s time for Christmas music! You hear it on the radio, television, at work, at the mall, in every store and church. From traditional hymns to novelty songs, we are drawn to it like a frothy Pennsylvania eggnog, and sometimes repelled by it when we have heard “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” for what seems like the millionth time. It’s in our bloodline. We are steeped in it, and I like to think that it draws us together, bonds us and makes us want to spread the love during the holidays. The music of Christmas is a great equalizer – we all have it in common, transcending demographics, political views and economic considerations. We all have our favorites, and I want to give a nod to Darlene Love for her performance of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” and anything from Mariah Carey’s Christmas album. Those are the songs that move me. We asked our listeners to tell us their favorites, and of course, we received a great variety of responses. There were lots of votes for “The Little Drummer Boy” (including the very odd David Bowie and Bing Crosby version) and “The Twelve Days of Christmas” by Straight No Chaser. I am sad to report we did not get one vote for Jeff Foxworthy’s version of that song (“Somebody’s been to the Walmart!”). There was lots of positive sentiment for “The Christmas Shoes” by Newsong, one the biggest tearjerkers ever recorded. “Hard Candy Christmas” is not really a Christmas song, but it has become one. That’s on the list of listeners’ favorites. “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” by John Lennon makes it, of course. There’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas,” “Blue Christmas” and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” (Bruce Springsteen’s version). And who doesn’t love “Leroy the Redneck Reindeer” by Joe Diffie, and “Rusty Chevrolet” by the Da Yoopers – perfect for that Christmas trip to Shopko. Many of our listeners leaned towards the traditional songs, like “O Holy Night,” “Away in A Manger” and “We Three Kings” of Orient are, tried to smoke a rubber cigar! It was loaded, it exploded, now we are men from Mars. (We sung it like that when we were kids.) And for every “Adeste Fidelis” and “Good King Wenceslas,” there was someone who liked “Police Stop My Car” and “Daddy’s Gettin’ Drunk This Christmas.” “Grandma Got Run Over” made our list of favorite songs, and the list of most annoying. “Jingle Dogs,” “Jingle Cats” and Porky Pig’s side-splitting version of “Blue Christmas” have been deemed almost unbearable for your listening pleasure. According to List Challenges, the most popular Christmas songs of all are “Jingle Bell Rock,” “I Saw Mommy Christmas Kissing Santa Claus,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “The Chipmunk Song” and” White Christmas.” The bestselling albums in history are two from Mannheim Steamroller: (“A Fresh Aire Christmas” and” Mannheim Steamroller Christmas”), “The Christmas Song” by Nat King Cole, “Miracles, The Holiday Album” by Kenny G. and “The Elvis Christmas Album.” Bob River’s “Twisted Christmas” does not rank anywhere, though it’s still number one with a bullet on the Billy and Patrick Show. So, enjoy and appreciate! Sing along and soak it in, whether it’s the Norman Luboff Choir or Phil Spector’s “A Christmas Gift To You.” It’s happening right now. No other season can compare with this one. And have a holy jolly honky tonk Christmas – it’s best time of the year. •

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE The Ag community is my life.
I was born and raised in Big Valley and graduated from Big Valley High School. I was an active member in 4-H and FFA, raised a market hog every year to sell at the local livestock sale and worked on cattle and hay ranches since the 8th grade. Ag is my world. So when it came time to pick a college I chose Shasta College for the strong, handson Agriculture program they have and their size. The small class sizes at Shasta College are a huge plus! You really get to know the instructors and all the other students. I also like how involved we are in the community. Everything from Pumpkin Tours for local K-2nd graders to our annual Christmas Tree Sales and Country Christmas Fair. We meet many people out in the industry at these different events which means potential job opportunities in the future. I finished my certificate/degrees in the Industrial Technology program and Agricultural Business at Shasta College last Spring and I am currently pursuing a career in Ag Sales. Shasta College gave me the opportunities and experience I need to make my goals a reality. Ben Torres Shasta College Knight, 2017

CHRISTMAS TREE & HOLIDAY ORNAMENT PINWHEELS SERVES: 24-36, DEPENDING ON TORTILLA SIZE
There’s nothing like great appetizers to get your Christmas party started! You and your guests will enjoy these creamy appetizers – you, because they are ridiculously easy, and your guests, well, because they are delicious. These recipes use both green and red wraps: green for the Tree Pinwheels and red for the Ornament Pinwheels. Best things in life are shared, so share these with family and friends. It’s pretty much the only appetizer you will need this holiday season! Merry Christmas!
CHRISTMAS TREE PINWHEEL INGREDIENTS 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened 1 cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained and diced 1⁄4 cup chopped ripe olives 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves 1⁄4 cup grated mozzarella cheese 1⁄4 cup shredded parmesan cheese 4 green flour tortillas (8-10 inches in diameter) 2 4 – 36 small green olives with pimentos HOLIDAY ORNAMENT PINWHEEL INGREDIENTS 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened 1 cup dried sweet cranberries, roughly chopped 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled 1⁄3 cup chopped green onion 1 tsp. minced fresh garlic 1⁄2 tsp. black pepper 4 red flour tortillas (8-10 inches in diameter)

CHRISTMAS TREE PINWHEEL DIRECTIONS STEP 1: In medium bowl, mix the cream cheese by hand or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the sundried tomatoes, chopped olives, basil and cheeses and mix until smooth and blended. Divide this mixture among tortillas, spreading to edges of tortillas. Roll up tightly. Leave round in shape if preferred, or for this presentation, press each tortilla roll into a triangle shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but no more than 24 hours.

STEP 2: When ready to serve, cut about 1⁄2-1 inch off each end, and the remainder into 1⁄2-inch slices. Place one of the green olives at the bottom of a triangle and add toothpick to secure. Use green and red toothpicks, if you can find them, for a more festive presentation.

Education Corner Shasta County educators aspire to improve our college going culture!
The Reach Higher Shasta Counseling Initiative aims to have our students equally or better equipped to compete with students across the state in terms of preparedness for postsecondary options. One strategy employed toward this goal is to encourage families and educators to have conversations during the middle school years about various careers and what post-secondary options might be necessary to attain those positions. Post-secondary options include: enrolling at a university, enrolling at a community college, enrolling at a community college then transferring to a university, enrolling at a trade school, or enlisting in the military. One tool used to initiate conversations around postsecondary planning is the PSAT 8/9, which is a practice test for the SAT, one of two college admission tests. The PSAT 8/9 informs students if they are on track to be academically successful in their freshman level classes whether at a community college or university. The PSAT 8/9 score is linked to Khan Academy, a free online prescribed practice opportunity that aligns the student’s PSAT 8/9 score with tutorial sessions that will help the student increase scores on the SAT. The link between Khan Academy and PSAT 8/9 also provides an opportunity for career exploration. Shasta County had 1,043 8th graders take the PSAT 8/9 on Oct. 18, 2017. Scores will be available in December. Parents are encouraged to review the PSAT 8/9 scores and talk with their child about careers they may be interested in as well as the various post-secondary options.

A Prodigal Story
THE GOOD NEWS RESCUE MISSION’S JOURNEY HOME PROGRAM HOME SWEET HOME. Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like home. These popular sayings likely evoke wistful feelings of warmth or reverie for those who live in safe and loving homes. For the unsheltered or temporarily sheltered men, women and children in Shasta County, those missing that safety and love, The Journey Home program can help reunite them with loved ones. Originally one of the 11 solutions of Redding’s 2014 Safe City Project, The Journey Home found sponsorship through the Good News Rescue Mission and began operations in January 2015. “Joe Wong offered a community match and we raised $18,000,” says Janet Shields, coordinator of The Journey Home. “The money – 100 percent of it – funds bus passes for people to relocate.”
Shields emphasizes there was a lot of dialogue around intentions – those of the person wishing to relocate and those of the Good News Rescue Mission – and adds, “We wanted to make sure they always had an exit strategy on the other end with someone there to receive them.” The Journey Home has relocated 277 people to date, including 77 women, 200 men and 20 children who moved with their parent(s). “We were able to send someone home who was dying,” says Shields. “The doctor said he was well enough to travel, but it was crushing. He wanted to go home and be with his family to die.” Program participants have traveled as far away as Jamaica and Germany, says Shields, who recounts the story of one client who had met someone over the Internet and spent his life savings to travel to Redding only to discover he had been cruelly tricked.4 continued on page 110

“A few have returned, but overall the success has outweighed the failures,” says Anderson. “We get calls and letters all the time thanking us. It’s like the Prodigal Son story. We hear about the positive things people are doing with their lives.” “He was devastated and wanted to go home,” says Shields. “We called the German consulate in San Francisco. They told us what day to have him down there and they flew him back. We make calls within a couple of months to follow up and see how things are going. As far as we know, things have worked out well.” Clients who participate in The Journey Home cannot use Good News Rescue Mission services again for one year. “We want people to know that we’re to help them get home, not to come and go,” says Jonathon Anderson, executive director of the mission. “We’re not a travel agency; this is about family reunification.” Educating the community on the program’s purpose has been key to its success. Anderson, who says The Journey Home faced a lot of early criticism, began by speaking to members of the Merchant Crime Watch group and printing posters and business they could display in their shops. The media followed, then churches, social service agencies and law enforcement, which is now taking on an educational role itself. “We presented to the California Highway Patrol, which included all shifts plus dispatchers,” says Anderson, who emphasizes the importance of this particular partnership. “They’re patrolling our highways and will often find people camping out under an overpass,” says Anderson. “Someone may just be passing through, but it’s an opportunity to find out where they’re headed and if we can help them get back home.” Anderson has developed relationships with the Continuum of Care Council, which includes more than 20 participating agencies. Shields and volunteer Linda Miller spend about eight hours with each client, which includes an interview and confirmation that the

contact person will house and sponsor the individual – financially, spiritually and otherwise – if they return. Then The Journey Home staff arranges for departure. “If they’re here, we invite them to stay at the mission until they leave,” says Shields. “The timing depends on how soon the contact person gets back to us.” Good News Rescue Mission offers the client a shower, a new set of clothes and a food voucher for the trip. “We want it to be a dignified and joyous moment when the get there,” says Shields, and Anderson adds, “Sometimes they’re trying to escape negative influences in this community. Our goal is to facilitate the move as soon as possible.” Individuals must be in a mental and physical state that allows them to travel either independently or with a caretaker. “We don’t want to put someone on a bus if we can’t ensure their safety throughout the entire ride,” says Anderson. This means addicted individuals cannot be intoxicated at the time of travel. Some reunifications take place within a few hours, while others can take up to a week. “A few have returned, but overall the success has outweighed the failures,” says Anderson. “We get calls and letters all the time thanking us. It’s like the Prodigal Son story. We hear about the positive things people are doing with their lives.” • www.gnrm.org/journey-home
