editor’s note january 2018
WELLNESS. So many of our New Year’s resolutions revolve around our health and wellness – not just our physical health, but body, mind and soul. Work out more. Eat better. Be present in the moment. Take more time out for myself. Enjoy the little things. New Year’s resolutions are great as long as we can remember not to expect perfection within the first month. Baby steps are the way to go, but getting things in focus is key. If we take time to put these things into our regular routine little by little, we’re bound to make more progress than if we were to embark upon a complete overhaul of everything we’ve been doing this past year. In the spirit of kicking off healthy resolutions, Enjoy is excited to partner once again with the Redding Health Expo and offer an issue filled with articles about well-
being, along with advertisers who are ready to help you achieve your health goals. If you were at last year’s Redding Health Expo, you know our community has much to offer in regard to helping you get healthier, and we showcase a bit of that in this issue. We’ve got information on finding relief with cryotherapy and taking time to de-stress with meditation. How important is it to your health to get up from your desk and get moving each day? Very! These are just a few of the stories covered in this issue, along with the shining success of Limelight Health, based in Redding. We wish you all the best as you tackle your health resolutions this year. Here’s to a healthy new year!

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: FUN… I have lived in Redding for almost 25 years and looking back, a common theme that comes to mind is FUN. Whether you enjoy the outdoors, community functions or busy weekends spent with friends and family, the North State has FUN to offer. We have the most breathtaking outdoors, world-class lakes, mountains, trails galore, the Sacramento River and Mt. Shasta within an hour drive. We also have amazing community FUN—our signature events such as Kool April Nights, the Redding Rodeo and the Redding Beer and Wine Festival, plus new FUN to come like the opening of the new Riverfront Playhouse, the Sheraton Hotel at Turtle Bay and possible food trucks downtown. The community events make this town thrive with beer, wine, food, tasting events, film festivals, farmers markets and the great entertainment at our many music venues. The FUN for families is aplenty, with the new Kids Kingdom, Turtle Bay, YMCA, Big League Dreams, the Redding Soccer Park, The Aquatic Center and the new bike park at Caldwell Park. FUN is always easy to find, easy to get to and often affordable for the whole family. Our access to FUN often comes without the crowds and high costs. I encourage us all to embrace the FUN of this community. It’s hard to believe how long I’ve lived here now, but as we all know, “Time flies when you are having FUN!”

F O R YO U R H E A LT H , G E T M O V I N G AT W O R K
FOR $500 OR LESS, YOU CAN SET UP A DESK AREA TO SIT OR STAND.
THIS YEAR, for the sake of your health, try this: When you sit down and start working, stand up. Even better, get up and move around, maybe do a few stretches. Your heart will thank you, and odds are your back, neck, shoulders, hips, waistline and posture will, too. And according to an October 2017 report in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a study of 8,000 adults found that sitting for excessively long periods of time is a risk factor for early death. The good news: The same study found that those who sat for fewer than 30 minutes at a time had the lowest risk of an early death. For a lot of people, though, sitting comes with the territory. Even if work means taking a load off, Redding physical therapist Bryan Burch says there are some easy ways to put that load back on. “The easiest is literally just getting up from
your work station, changing positions, doing some stretching, putting your hands over your head and getting in a standing position.” Burch, who performs ergonomic assessment for some of his clients, says he’s seeing more desks that allow for sitting or standing. “For $500 or less, you can set up a desk area to sit or stand. I find that incredibly helpful. When you’re sitting, it puts a lot of stress on the hips and spine. When you stand up, that changes. Getting out of that static posture is so helpful.” Given that people who sit for long periods put themselves at greater risk for obesity, heart disease and, potentially, cancer, it’s no wonder health experts frequently refer to sitting as the new smoking. Even the less-severe side effects like lower back pain, sore shoulders or a kinked neck are no fun and can put a dent in productivity, since a lack of movement can make people “de-conditioned” and4 continued on page 24 JANUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

susceptible to injury, says Amy Dendas, a program director and nutritionist at Adamson’s Peak Performance. “Lower back pain affects about 80 percent of adults during their lifetime, and predominantly they are individuals who sit for three or four hours or more,” says Dendas, who has an extensive background in training with corrective exercise. Being more rounded and forward-leaning can negatively affect your posture, she says, as it places additional stress on the neck and shoulders, which leads to pain and even headaches. “And not just muscles, but structures of your body. Muscles will tug against your skeletal system and lead to pinched nerves.” An occasional back pain sufferer herself, Dendas says she sits on a stability or exercise ball while working at her desk and she likes the way it engages her abdominal muscles and forces her core to be more involved. “I don’t have the back pain sitting on the stability ball compared to the office chair. And I have a pretty decent office chair,” Dendas says. Exercise ball or no, Dendas recommends everybody get up at least once every 50 minutes, move and stretch and get some water. “Stay hydrated! Oh my gosh. Dehydration not only affects muscles, but the fascia around those muscles. If you’re dehydrated, you’re going to feel worse.” Matthew Lister, the CEO of Align Fitness and a handson trainer, says the body tends to adapt to the environment it’s placed in, so if you’re sedentary for long stretches, “your muscles will adapt to that seated position and you’ll lose the ability for other movements.”
24
www.EnjoyMagazine.net JANUARY 2018
That loss of range in motion can result in nerve impingement, degenerative disc disease, hip displacement, blood clots and even heart disease. Getting up and moving is a big help but Lister advocates for taking a few minutes and performing some simple stretches. If time and space allow, Lister suggests getting on the floor and striking the “cats and dogs” yoga pose to keep the mid-back mobile. The basis military stretch and stretching the hamstring muscles also can help counteract those hours spent in a chair. Improving fitness need not be limited to time at the office. “If you have a dog, make sure you walk him daily,” suggests Dendas. “Take the stairs, if it’s safe, instead of the elevator. Play with your kids and grandkids if you can. A simple game of catch is more activity than just sitting. Adults should engage in 150 minutes a week of moderate to intense activity. Try to use your breaks and lunch as a way to get to that. Remember, doing household chores is burning calories.” Lister says there’s power in company: “Set up some kind of structure like an exercise program and get a workout buddy. The whole purpose is to make it harder to not do it. If you have somebody waiting at your door to go walking, you will go. Make it easy to succeed.” •

HEALTHY INNOVATION L I M E L I G H T H E A LT H — M A K I N G I N S U R A N C E A L I T T L E E A S I E R SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS know what it’s like to navigate the miry, murky waters of insurance, and that compared to the practical needs of employees, the remote realm of insurance carriers and brokers seems like from another world. Yet for many local small business owners, the bridge connecting them to many national insurance carriers was built right here in their backyard. In 2014, Redding residents Alan Leard and Garrett Viggers launched Limelight Health, insurance quoting technology that connects employers and employees directly to their insurance needs while simplifying the process. Long before the pair launched the multi-million
dollar platform, Leard and Viggers had been living in their separate circles in Redding until their paths crossed almost by chance. “Long story short,” says Viggers, “I’ve been a local musician in Redding for about 13 years, and I met Alan playing music in his store.” While performing at the now-closed Vintner’s Cellar in Redding, Viggers met Leard, who also builds mobile apps. “So I said, ‘Dude, why don’t we build an app that features artists in Redding – musicians, painters, photographers, filmmakers?’”4 continued on page 28
JANUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

They built that first app for fun, but it was the beginning of a tech partnership that would evolve to create Limelight Health. Then in 2010, with the launch of the Affordable Care Act, Viggers and Leard decided to build an app specifically to help users navigate Covered California. “It was a really complicated process and I wanted to make it simple on a mobile phone,” explains Viggers. Diving into the world of insurance required a business shift for the partners, who formally launched Windfall App Technologies, for which they began seeking funding. “We had no revenue, and didn’t know where it was going to go – we just made an app about Obamacare,” says Viggers.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JANUARY 2018
So the pair introduced the app to their future partner, Michael Lujan, who worked for Covered California. “He was the number two running sales and marketing, and he ended up leaving Covered California,” explains Viggers. Lujan in turn introduced Leard and Viggers to Jason Andrew, who would become their CEO, “and essentially we got together and formed Limelight Health and formally launched in 2014.” According to Viggers, many people in the United States get their insurance through small employers, so the idea behind Limelight “was to build the machine to efficiently and quickly calculate rates and show benefits” – dental, vision, health, you name it. Think of Limelight like the agent working behind the 4 continued on page 30

agent, on behalf of small businesses. It’s fitting, then, that the company got its start in a small community, and even received early funding from local investors like Shasta Angels, which allowed them to innovate quoting tools for platforms like the iPad. “We launched the first native iPad health insurance quoting tool,” says Viggers. From there, Limelight began selling its product to brokers, then expanded by selling directly to insurance carriers. They even presented to a worldwide insurance carrier Today, Limelight is powering, quoting and underwriting for some of the largest insurance carriers, not just in the United States but in the world. To hear Viggers talk about insurance and Limelight, it would be easy to forget that he’s a musician. He admits that music has taken something of a back seat since they began building apps, but he doesn’t expect that to last. “I’ve been in a cave a bit,” he says, adding that Limelight has become his outlet. Easy to understand since the company has grown to 75 employees between Redding and San Francisco, and has Viggers traveling across the country.

“But I’m going to get back to music and film once we get acquired,” says Viggers. The goal, he adds, “is to bless my family,” but he’s also already thinking about future projects. “I’ve learned about business, and now I can go back to music with a totally different approach,” says Viggers. “I’m already planning this next season of life. I was a musician, an artist, didn’t make a living, was totally broke. Then went in, started this thing, didn’t know what I was doing, and sold stuff that didn’t yet exist.” He is hoping he might be able to use that experience to help other artists and musicians in Redding, and perhaps even start other creative ventures in the future. “I want to start a fusion of the creative and the entrepreneur and the patron of the arts. Here in Redding,” he continues, “we’ve got a lot of potential.” • Limelight Health • Limelighthealth.com

G R O W I N G T H E D E N TA L I N D U S T R Y W I T H D R . R O N C L A R K DR. RON CLARK is an example of the success that can come from finding clarity of purpose. As a third grader, he responded to the ubiquitous question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There was resoluteness in his answer. He’d be a dentist. This was odd for a young man who’d never experienced a dental exam. The awareness of dentistry existed, but he’d never reclined in a dental chair and experienced the blinding presence of an overhead light or felt the probing of dental instruments on his young teeth. Still, he held a faith and a knowing of his professional pursuit beyond his family’s circumstances. Now, at age 69, he’s held a long career in dentistry and finds himself avoiding questions of retirement, though there are many pursuits he’d like to undertake with his time freed up, including travel with his wife, Susan. His commitment to dentistry remains and that sense of purpose is as alive as ever.
“I’m a hard worker and I love my profession,” says Clark. “I couldn’t have asked for a better profession.” What makes Clark stand out as a professional, not only in his hometown of Red Bluff but in the North State, is his commitment to growing the dental industry. On any given day, his downtown office will have at least one high school Regional Occupational Program student learning the ropes. Fourteen have gone on to become dental hygienists. Two have become dentists, and one is in dental school now. A few others are in dental assistant programs. “I’m not at all disappointed if they go a different direction,” he says. But he’s clearly proud of those who do continue in the world of dentistry. “Those bring you joy.” There’s only so far he’ll go in conversation about his accomplishments, however, before he starts deflecting to the contributions of others in the growth of North State dental programs. Nothing has been accomplished on his4 continued on page 36

own, he wants people to know. Many initiatives, however, bear his thumbprint. “The day I graduated, I moved to Red Bluff,” he says of his journey from Loma Linda School of Dentistry in 1974. “I didn’t want to be in flatlands. I’d been in flatlands all my life. Red Bluff was the start of the hills.” While he found his hills, he also encountered an environment lacking the professional resources needed to establish a full-service office. “Hygiene services had gotten so that you couldn’t hire a hygienist.” In response, he banded with others in the Northern California Dental Society to create its nonprofit foundation, which would spur the creation of the dental hygiene program at Shasta College. “Hygiene in a junior college is the most expensive program,” he says. He and other
advocates raised funds to the tune of $600,000 to get the program going. “We didn’t leave any stone unturned. We hit everyone up.” Today, the program stands as one of the college’s most sought after and competitive. North State dentists have a continuous pool of hygienists from which to hire, and graduates have a high level of job security. “You’re never going to totally automate healthcare,” he says. Now, Clark and others want to expand the Registered Dental Assistant programs in Butte and Shasta counties. “There’s nobody going around unemployed as a dental assistant,” he says emphatically. “Kids need to know where the jobs of the future are going to be.” While Clark has set his sights on developing the dental industry in the North State, he’s also paid attention to who gets access to dental care and where the gaps are. He’s deeply familiar with why some children go
HEALTHGreenville Positive Indian Parenting
WISE
For hundreds of years, Native American parents were guided by traditions that never left parenting to chance. These traditions were passed from one generation to the next, but they all had the same purpose: to ensure the tribe’s future through its children. While we cannot go back to the world as it once was, we can still find great values in our child-rearing experience. Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) is an 8 to 10 week curriculum, developed by the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) that provides practical and culturally specific training for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) parents. The training helps parents explore the values and attitudes expressed in traditional AI/AN child-rearing practices and apply them to modern parenting. The curriculum draws on the strengths of traditional Indian parenting practices using storytelling, cradleboard, harmony, lessons of nature, behavior management, and the use of praise. It also addresses the historic impact of boarding schools, intergenerational trauma and grief, and forced assimilation of parenting; it empowers Indian families to reclaim their right to their heritage to be positive parents. NICWA’s vision is for every Indian child to have access to communitybased, culturally appropriate services that help them grow up safe, healthy,
and spiritually strong, free from abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation, and the damaging effects of substance abuse. Western parenting programs often fail to address the unique challenges faced by American Indian and Alaska Native parents, children, and families, and they neglect the rich tribal traditions and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Greenville Rancheria Tribal Health Program will be putting on a PIP workshop starting December 21, 2017, every Thursday through January 26, 2018. Workshop times 10 AM – 12PM. Children are welcome and snacks will be provided. For more information please contact a Community Health Representative at (530)528-8600 ext. 256. Positive Indian Parenting class topics include: Session 1: Welcome and Orientation/Traditional Parenting Session 2: Lessons of the Storyteller Session 3: Lessons of the Cradleboard Session 4: Harmony in Child Rearing Session 5: Traditional Behavior Management Session 6: Lessons of Mother Nature Session 7: Praise in Traditional Parenting Session 8: Choices in Parenting/Graduation

without dental care, and he’s worked to change that, as well. He’s been a volunteer dentist for Give Kids a Smile Day for years, and is proud of the work of the First 5 Mobile Dental Clinic, which offers regular service to children and pregnant women throughout the year in Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties. “It’s worlds better,” says Clark. Clark was a featured speaker at the 9th Annual Expect More Tehama summit in November, where the theme was “Create and Cultivate: Nourishing and Sustaining Our Future.” His story is an example of the value of not only following your own passion, but opening doors for others to access, as well. “I don’t think people realize how much you can get out of it,” he says. Opening his office doors to so many young people exploring the world of dentistry has brought some extra bustle to an already busy
environment, but Clark credits his team with making it all work out. “It’s like one big family.” With the smile of one who has loved dentistry his entire life, he adds, “Investing in our kids – it’s the best investment we can make.” • Dr. Ronald Clark, DDS 727 Washington St., Red Bluff (530) 527-4311 Melissa Mendonca is a graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities.

peaceful, easy feeling D E - S T R E S S A N D R E L A X W I T H M E D I TAT I O N
THE HOLIDAYS ARE over and it is time to take a step back and re-energize ourselves for the coming year. How do you still your mind after the rush of holiday activities? How do you slow down after being in full gear for so long? How do you instill energy and peacefulness? It is possible with a little practice and guidance using the ancient techniques of meditation. Meditation has been practiced throughout history in China and India and continues to be practiced throughout the world. The word meditation is derived from Latin, meaning “to think or contemplate.” It has been likened to training for the mind, much like an athlete trains the body. It brings about a peacefulness of the mind and relaxes the muscles. Some may be under the false impression that meditation needs to have a religious connection. While this is true in some meditations, many others simply promote relaxation and develop various emotions or characteristics. Some of
these types of meditations include: • Mindfulness-based stress reduction: Uses breath awareness and body scans. • Transcendental meditation: Uses a mantra to help focus meditation. • Guided visualization: Emphasizes one goal by using the imagination to help relax. • Qi Gong: Oldest form, uses breath to circulate energy and helps reactions to stress. • Walking: Meditation with action, focus on walking and surroundings. Whichever you may choose to try, the meditation needs to be comfortable and simple to help ensure your success. You should continue the practice daily, and the right approach for you will create the result you need. This is the time for you to relax and breathe while connecting to yourself.4 continued on page 40
JANUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

MEDITATION TIPS • Find a comfortable, quiet spot. • Make the practice a habit for lifetime benefits. • Relax, take a deep breath and exhale. Calm your mind and focus. • Keep trying, be gentle with yourself. Guide your mind back to your breath. • Be in the present. • Pick a time for you, 10-30 minutes daily. • Be accountable to yourself or a meditation partner.
Relaxation may not be the goal; however, it is a result. Dr. Herbert Benson researched meditation at Harvard University and coined the term “relaxation response.” Studies have documented some short-term benefits to the nervous system as a result. Such benefits include: • Deeper relaxation • Improved blood circulation • Slower respiratory rate • Less anxiety • Feelings of well-being • Less stress • Lower blood pressure • Lower heart rate • Less perspiration • Lower blood cortisol levels Researchers are now exploring long-term benefits. They have recognized positive effects on the brain and the immune system – however, the goal of meditation is not to achieve these benefits. The goal of meditation is to be present and aware. Redding may soon have its own meditation garden located near the Sundial Bridge. Funds are being raised to bring the world’s third Tai Chi court to the North State (the others are in Maryland and Texas). Redding Tai Chi has partnered with Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the Shasta County Arts Council to work to create a meditation garden, which would be available for people of all ages. The design is the yin and yang symbol. The project will bring art and nature together and create a uniqueness that is sure to inspire visitors. Finding guidance can be helpful during your meditation process, and local classes are offered for a more personal connection. Many apps, meditation videos and music are also available. Spend this time for yourself and reap the rewards. Being healthy is more than diet. Find your mindbody connection made possible through meditation. •
Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.

ALONG THE SLOPES of Mt. Shasta are 14 miles of two-lane road weaving through the high-elevation forest to the tree line where the timber ends and the trails to the summit begin. Starting in Mount Shasta City, Everitt Memorial Highway leads, in the summer months, to the old Ski Bowl parking lot, the highest point you can drive on the mountain. In the winter, the road stops at Bunny Flat where the snowplow turns around. Every season, the trip reveals stunning views of the valley and mountains to the west along the way. The winding highway is named after Shasta National Forest Supervisor John Samuel Everitt. His offices for the Shasta National Forest were housed at the current ranger district offices in the city below. Everitt’s career began with positions in the Forest Service in the Lassen, Plumas, San Bernardino and Stanislaus National Forests. In 1934, he was appointed to the Mount Shasta headquarters as the head of the Shasta National Forest.
When the Shasta Ski Bowl opened, the highway linked the city to downhill skiing. In the same year, the ski bowl set a world record for the most snowfall in a single storm, collecting 16 feet of snow in five days. Despite continual whiteouts and avalanches, the Ski Bowl remained in operation until 1978 when a devastating avalanche wiped out the main chair lift. Now the buildings are gone, but in the summer months, the old parking lot remains a gateway for climbers to begin their ascents while picnickers dine at the picnic table overlooking the valley. Just below the Old Ski Bowl, Panther Meadows invites summer hikers to a variety of trails. Below the meadows, Bunny Flat beckons summer hikers to its trailhead and winter enthusiasts to a wonderland. At 6,950 feet, a paved parking lot is open year round. When it snows, the sound of snowmobiles roars over the powdered snow surrounded by walls of pines.4 continued on page 44

Below Bunny Flat is where Everitt died in the Bear Springs Fire during his first year of service. Flames moved up the southern slopes of the mountain. Everitt scouted the fire alone and when the winds changed direction, he was surrounded by the fire and killed. He became the first forest supervisor killed defending the forest he oversaw. Close to the location where Everitt died, a vista point was established in his honor. A guard rail and a paved driveway are all the warning a driver has to its location. Trees have grown into the view. The circular parking lot remains, along with a restroom. In the summer, a trail moves through to the forest to the viewing area and what is left of an old ski shelter. Winter or summer, the highway passes through the curtains of tall trees which fade near the old ski bowl to smaller, hearty survivors of fierce winds and towering layers of snow. From time to the time, the Trinity divide and Strawberry Valley appear, a green expanse of trees,

often carpeted by the snows of winter. Mount Shasta’s peak looks down upon many of the curves. To get on the highway, take Lake Street exit from Interstate 5 and head toward the mountain, and follow the curve of the road to the left past Mount Shasta High School. Once, the views along this highway were only open to daring hikers. Now, they can be driven to and enjoyed within minutes. Each trip should be taken in the spirit of John Muir, who enjoyed this mountain and said, “Keep close to Nature’s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica. He manages the Narnia Study Center.

CHILL FACTOR F I N D I N G R E L I E F W I T H C R YOT H E R A P Y CHRONIC PAIN? Trouble sleeping? Stressed to the max? Maybe you need to chill. A growing number of North State residents are using cryotherapy to find relief from a variety of health issues, from arthritis and multiple sclerosis to anxiety and much more. People are hungry for holistic, natural alternatives to pain relief, says Kevin Kramer, chief executive officer and coowner of US Cryotherapy, which has an office in Redding. Its walk-in cold chamber uses refrigerated air instead of liquid nitrogen to expose clients to subzero temperatures for about three minutes. “Cold shock” drops the skin temperature, which releases endorphins and an anti-inflammatory protein, activating the body’s self-repair systems and blocking pain reception signals. For whole-body therapy, clients are outfitted with protective wear to cover their hands, feet, ears, mouth and nose. They walk into the chamber and the cold drops their skin temperature by 30 to 45 degrees. The oxygenated air is dry, so it’s not painful like an ice bath,
says Christi Osborne, co-owner of the Redding facility. The chamber affects the entire body, and it’s used in tandem with localized cold-air treatment that’s “more like an ice bath on steroids,” Christi explains. “It’s far less painful than an ice bath, though, because it’s totally dry air.” Chelsea Bailey of Redding had broken her ankle, then rolled it shortly after it had healed, which brought back the swelling. She decided to try out cryotherapy. “I instantly found relief,” Bailey says. “It was remarkable. I was able to get back to my routine quickly. I was so impressed, I went back and did the full body cryo and it was invigorating.” Davis-based US Cryotherapy treats more than 15,000 people per month at its 20 facilities around the country, Kramer says. The Redding center was opened in early 2017 by Christi’s husband, Dr. Jon Osborne, and Dr. Rob Hamilton. Jon had injured his knee while carrying his son on his back at Bunny Flat, and he decided to check out US Cryotherapy in Roseville. He4 continued on page 48

did a cryotherapy session and had a localized treatment on his knee, and was so impressed with the results that he invested in a North State office. “We really believe in it,” Christi says. Children 11 and up can use the whole-body chamber. “My daughter begs to go in with me,” Christi says. “With kids, you don’t get a lot of chronic pain, but more acute injuries – sprained ankles, or injured knees from football, or shoulder injuries from basketball.” Cryotherapy can also be a teambuilding activity. “We had the entire Foothill High School cross country team in the other day to do a team session before they went to their big state competition,” Christi says. “We love having teams – it’s a two-person cryotherapy chamber, so you can talk to each other while you’re in there. You’re all experiencing this together, so it’s very bonding for a team.” Whole body cryotherapy is not recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as regulated or approved for any specific medical conditions, though it is used widely in Europe. However, many clients report experiencing more mobility and a feeling similar to the “runner’s high” after treatment. US Cryotherapy recently started a yoga class so people can enjoy that extra flexibility when they come out of the chamber. Cryofacials can help produce collagen and reduce wrinkles. “It’s ideal for someone who just has 15 minutes and they want to do something good for their skin but don’t have half a day to go to the spa,” Christi says. It’s natural to be nervous the first time – and there’s always a staff member who’s willing to go into the chamber with reticent clients. “I was terrified the first time I went in,” Christi says. “My pool has to be 90 degrees before I get in. But it’s a completely dry air, and because there’s no moisture, it doesn’t change your core temperature at all. We’re only lowering the temperature of the surface of the skin. The minute you exit the chamber, you’re warm again.” Repeat customers include best friends who are 80 and 85 – one a retired nurse, one a retired fitness instructor – who went into the chamber together. The woman with sciatica was able to go for a fivemile walk the next day, and the one with knee problems was able to get back into her garden again. “Cryotherapy isn’t going to fix something that needs surgery, but it’s fantastic for post-surgical recovery,” Christi says. “It’s not a substitute for traditional medicine, but it’s an adjunct service that helps people who are managing chronic pain or autoimmune conditions. It’s encouraging to see the improved quality of life for people who live with disease. Every day, I have people telling me, ‘I haven’t felt this good in my entire life.’” • US Cryotherapy • 1619 Hilltop Drive, Suite A, Redding (530) 691-4488 • Find them on Facebook www.uscryotherapy.com/location/redding-ca

FIFTEEN MINUTES WITH DOUG HERNANDEZ AND A N D R E A M O N TG O M E R Y F R O M F R E S H T W I S T E D C A F É
WHEN DID YOU OPEN FRESH TWISTED CAFÉ? In April, we’ll celebrate five years in business. Doug is the owner, and I work behind the scenes as a support system. TELL US HOW THE BUSINESS GOT STARTED. We originally had a fruit stand. It had smoothies and sandwiches only – nothing hot. We expanded into the area next to the original spot with a family-friendly restaurant in mind. As parents, we were always looking for a place that was kid-friendly, so we created one. We also have a small retail space that supports other local vendors. We have products from Lavender Ranch, Naked Coffee and Chili Gods Hot Sauce, to name a few. Many products are not only available in the retail space, but are incorporated into the dishes we serve, as well. WHAT KIND OF FOOD DO YOU SERVE? Smoothies with fresh fruits and veggies are a big part of our menu. We also serve fresh juices by the glass or the gallon. We have vegan and gluten free options, organic beef burgers, and vegan and gluten free bread made in house. Energy and immunity boosters, many of which are also organic, vegan and gluten free, are available. WHY DID YOU LAUNCH A RESTAURANT THAT WAS GEARED TOWARD HEALTHY EATING? We saw a need within the community and within our family. Our son is on the spectrum, so it was important to have menu items that were considerate of his dietary needs. We wanted it to be a place that the whole family could find something delicious and healthy on the same menu. WHERE DO YOUR PRODUCTS COME FROM? My family’s farm is in Paskenta, in Tehama County. It’s an apple and cherry orchard. It’s where we got our start. As we’ve grown, we’ve begun to source products from other local farms, as well. Lots of our produce comes from Orland and Chico. We try to keep it as fresh, in season and organic as possible. I think it’s always important to support not only local vendors, but people within the same industry. By working with local farms, we know the quality of the products we are using. WHAT EXPERIENCE DID DOUG BRING TO THE TABLE? Doug grew up in San Jose and had worked in farmers markets in the Bay Area for more than 10 years. When he came to my family’s farm, he was able to tell us about some varieties of fruits and vegetables that we didn’t know about. His knowledge base and his love for growing fruits and vegetables was a huge connection that we shared.
WHAT PROMPTED THE DECISION TO OPEN FRESH TWISTED CAFÉ? I grew up in Chico. We came back to the area so we could raise our kids around family. We wanted to put some roots down. Doug wanted to add something to the community. Many of my family members have worked at the restaurant over the years, so this is a business that is truly centered on family. We are driven to create something our family can always share. HOW HAVE YOU MANAGED TO KEEP FRESHNESS, FUN AND FLAVOR AT THE FOREFRONT OF EACH HEALTHY DISH YOU PREPARE? It comes down to being able to adapt to change, accepting feedback, and not taking it personally. We want our customers to be treated like family. We teach people that eating healthily doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor. Customers often worry that eating greens will feel like “eating grass.” We encourage them to “just try it.” They are always surprised by how sweet and delicious it is - without ice or sugar added. WHAT ARE YOUR MOST POPULAR MENU ITEMS? Our organic beef burgers, our breakfast burritos (they are huge and served all day), and of course, The Hulk Smoothie! You can add avocado to it to make it creamier. WHAT’S YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE? I love the carrot zucchini bread. I’m a mom and a student and I work behind the scene of the restaurant, so coffee is a must. I always go for either our spicy black bean patty in a wrap or a veggie sandwich. WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO RUN A FAMILY BUSINESS? We don’t get a lot of family time outside of the cafe, but having the ability to give this example to our sons is important to us. They always have a space that is theirs. • Fresh Twisted Café 156 Eaton Road, Suite E (in PDQ Market, Deli and Gas Station Shopping Center) • (530) 809-2489 Hours: Monday to Saturday, 6:30 am to 7:30 pm; Sunday, 7 am to 4:30 pm www.freshtwistedcafe.com Find them on Facebook and Instagram

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
ENHANCING MOBILITY
Improving Lives &
R E S TO R E O R T H OT I C S A N D P R O S T H E T I C S THE EXPERTS at Restore Orthotics and Prosthetics restore not only a missing arm or leg, but strive to raise the overall quality of life for amputees. They craft their patients’ replacement limbs themselves in a shop housed in their office, combining techniques of hand-sculpting and vacuum forming hot plastic. Once the prosthetic is finished, they lead each patient, often literally step by step, into a new life. Today, Certified Prosthetist Mark O’Sullivan guides a new patient on such a journey. He sits on a stool at the end of a walking course marked by parallel bars about hip high. Steadied by those bars is Nick Twight of Weaverville, who carefully walks toward his prosthetist. With each step, both men check the function of his temporary leg.
Twight lost his right leg below the knee after a fall from atop a barn seven years ago. “It was about 60 feet tall,” he recalls. “I slid down the roof and fell 20, 25 feet.” He landed on his feet, resulting in a severe fracture. “I ended up with my fibula in my pinky,” he says. Over the years, doctors tried to save his leg, but a deepset bone infection plagued him. He finally he decided to let the leg go this year. O’Sullivan gauged his performance today as “pretty good, for a first-time walker right out the gate.” O’Sullivan walked out that gate himself a while back. He lost his left leg more than 30 years ago in a traffic accident while hauling hay for his family’s ranch. “It was early morning, heavy fog. I was hit head-on by a dump truck. My leg was amputated at the scene.”4 continued on page 56
“ they lead each patient, often literally step by step, into a new life.”

In another room at Restore, Certified Orthotist Jason Dunphy meets with a couple to discuss the need for a leg brace. On the wall behind him, a shelf displays a variety of supports and braces. After the session, Dunphy shows a plastic helmet, which he says is for infants. “This is for cranial remolding, reshaping a head deformity in babies while their bones are still soft enough,” he explains. New helmets are custom made as the baby grows for up to about 2 years. Dunphy and O’Sullivan co-own Restore. Dunphy builds structures to help ease pain from injury or deterioration. “Anything from a foot orthotic to custom leg braces,” he says. O’Sullivan sculpts, installs and monitors replacement limbs. As a team, Dunphy says, “We can provide anything from head to toe, essentially.” O’Sullivan claims 20 years experience, but his education in amputation really began with his own. “Everything was a mystery,” he remembers. “I had no idea what would happen next.” Then, while still in a hospital bed, inspiration visited. “An amputee came into the room, rolled up his pant leg and walked in front of me. That gave me hope for the future.” Within 30 days he was up on crutches, and within 6 months fitted with his new leg at Shasta Orthotist and Prosthetic Services in Redding. “By Francisco Rodriguez,” says O’Sullivan. “He became my mentor.” O’Sullivan enrolled at Florida International University and came back to Redding with a degree in prosthetics. “And Frank hired me,” he beams. Years later, O’Sullivan met a new orthotist at work, Dunphy, a former science teacher and coach who had just moved up from the Bay Area. They hit it off professionally. “We discovered we were like minded in the way we approached business and patient care,” says O’Sullivan. They left Shasta O&P, and opened Restore in February 2013. On a wall at Restore hangs a framed group portrait of about 30 patients lined up at the Sundial Bridge. Many of them stand with some kind of sporting equipment to show that amputees can still enjoy their favorite recreation. O’Sullivan and Dunphy say that picture was taken to instill hope in their new patients.4 continued on page 58 56

One of the people in that photo is a very special patient – Angela Brown. “She came in as a patient when we were at Shasta Orthopedics and Prosthetics,” says O’Sullivan. “Now she’s doing her residency here in both orthopedics and prosthetics.” Brown lost her leg in an automobile accident more than 20 years ago. She bounced back motivated to help those in similar straits, earning a master’s degree in Orthotics and Prothetics from Northwestern University in Illinois. She is nearing the end of her dual residency at Restore, and is looking at testing for certification by next spring. She will tell her patients to get up and go. “Objects in motion stay in motion,” Brown declares. She shudders when she sees patients surrender to life in a wheelchair. “The quality of life deteriorates when people become sedentary,” she says. “Up and moving around is the goal.” Now in his mid-50s, O’Sullivan thinks a dual-certified Brown will be a great addition to the company. “She’s the younger generation moving up,” he says. “She’s actually making her own prostheses now. She’s definitely working into future plans at Restore.” •

1 5 T H A N N U A L M U LT I C U LT U R A L C E L E B R AT I O N I N S H A S TA L A K E FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS, the North State has hosted a multicultural celebration at Central Valley High School. As the years have passed, this celebration of diversity has continued to expand and has become an integral part of the area. This year, the committee wanted to do something special for those who continue to participate annually, according to committee members Don Yost and Lee Macey. Thinking it would be fun to bring in past performers for the 15th celebration, efforts were made to reach out to previous performers, only to find that the children contacted were now away at college, Yost says. After that discovery, the committee decided on a different highlight for the celebration. “This year, we’ll give everybody a rest and give a free community concert,” Macey says.4 continued on page 62

As a special part of the 2018 multicultural celebration, Shasta County will welcome the Matsiko World Orphan Choir. Founded in 2008, the choir features 21 children from Liberia, India and Peru. Macey and Yost say previous performances by the Matsiko Orphan Choir have been energetic, engaging and fun. Originally, the choir's children were from Peru and Liberia. In 2017, children from India were given the opportunity to join in. The choir allows the children to share songs and dances from their various traditional cultures, a unique characteristic that makes the choir the perfect addition to the multitude of performances typical of the multicultural celebration. “They all bring so much to the table and bring so much culture to Shasta County,” Yost says. “There is more diversity than meets the eye.” The popular annual event was sparked in March 2003 when the Mien community wanted to thank the Shasta Lake City community for welcoming them. In turn, the Shasta Lake City community wanted to share cultures with the Mien community. A committee of residents and organizations within the city and the Gateway Unified School District convened to plan an annual celebration of cultures. The school district has been the event’s major support and sponsor since its inception.
The tradition seeks to promote cultural recognition and respect, and the celebration traditionally begins with a grand entrance of flags from various countries. “We try to have exchange students from local high schools carrying in their country’s flags,” Yost says. Aside from the choir, the event features local representations of different cultures present in the area, including Hispanic dancers, Sikh martial arts and Native American performances, among others. And although the event continues to grow, there is no admission charge for attendance, though donations are accepted. “We get support from local businesses,” Macey says. On top of all that, a luncheon is provided and all are welcome. • 15th Annual Multicultural Celebration Jan. 20, 11 am Central Valley High School

Edible Beauty BEAUTY TRENDS

BY MELISSA GULDEN
RADIANT SKIN FROM THE INSIDE OUT
WE’RE ALL FAMILIAR with the phrase, “You are what you eat.” It expresses the notion that what one consumes has a bearing on one’s health and fitness. We’ve changed our diets and taken supplements to lose weight, to gain muscle and to detox, but it was only recently that the idea of changing our diet for the purpose of looking more beautiful became mainstream. Suddenly, supplements made from ground plants, vegetables and algae are taking over store shelves, giving protein powder some competition. With an increase in degenerative diseases, people are realizing that modern life isn’t so conducive to good health—too much stress, packaged food and pollution. We need to go back to basics: organic food, chemical-free skincare and embracing healthy ways to prepare foods. FEED YOUR SKIN Our skin is like our outer digestive system. Everything we put on our skin is absorbed and digested by our body and goes into and through our vital organs. To ensure the skin is hydrated both inside and out, however, we need to go beyond just lathering our favorite oils onto the skin. We can hydrate our skin from the inside by including healthy fats in our diet. Omega-3 fats have been shown to preserve the skin-firming protein collagen and to reduce inflammation of the skin. Plant-based fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, avocado and nuts are also rich in Omega-3s. Try to incorporate these healthy fats into your daily diet for smooth, glowing skin. The skin, hair and nails are the last places to receive nutrients, as those nutrients go to more important organs first—so nutrition and healthy digestion is key. If we’re not getting enough nutrients or digesting our food properly due to poor gut health, our skin literally starves. To maintain good gut health, we need to eliminate allergens and foods that are tough on our digestive system. ADD ANTIOXIDANTS TO YOUR DIET Antioxidants protect the skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells. Foods high in antioxidants include berries, cherries, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, kale, pomegranate and acai. Antioxidants in skin care products can also do a lot for the health and appearance of the skin, including reducing fine lines, calming inflamed skin, and tightening and toning. Vitamins A, C and E and the mineral selenium are of particular benefit. In addition to helping fortify cells against free radicals, vitamins A and C also encourage cell and tissue growth, helping the body repair itself.4 continued on page 66 JANUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
65
TRY POWDERED SUPPLEMENTS You know it as an ingredient in skin-care products, but nutritional collagen powder has plenty of perks too. It may help repair the cartilage in your joints, protecting them from stress and strain, and help digestion by improving stomach acid production, preventing heartburn, constipation and other GI issues. Skin feeling deflated? Try mixing natural marine collagen powder into a glass of water. An increase in collagen and collagen production can help leave skin more hydrated, which then helps smooth lines and wrinkles, and increase firmness and elasticity for a plumper appearance. And there is some evidence that taking certain types of collagen can improve fine lines and signs of skin aging. Collagen is a major structural component of the skin—like the cement that holds the cells of our skin and hair and nails together. Made from the radish-like root of a plant that’s native to Peru, maca powder is packed with iron, calcium and protein. Its compounds help improve circulation, delivering more nutrients to your muscles, which fights fatigue and enables you to go harder for longer at the gym. The powder has a chalky taste, so blend it into a fruit smoothie to mask the flavor. Unlike many other powders, which are made from a single pulverized ingredient, green powders can contain any number of dried and ground vegetables like kale, broccoli and spinach, as well as grasses, tea leaves and even fruits. The powders are made from whole veggies and retain some of their fiber content and disease-fighting nutrients, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A and vitamin C. Green powders are especially beneficial whenever you fall short of the recommended five to nine servings of produce a day. They come in different flavors, so just stir them into water. Spirulina powder is made from freshwater algae that are microscopic in size, but pack a major nutritional punch. One tablespoon has four grams of protein, as well as iron for energy; beta-carotine, a potent antioxidant; and phycocyanin, a protein with anti-inflammatory effects. Researchers have found that the protein in spirulina helps build muscle, while anti-inflammatory compounds protect muscles from exerciserelated damage. You can even take it for allergy relief. Warning: There is a fishy taste, so add to your post-gym protein drink to (hopefully) disguise the flavor. When it comes to maintaining the skin externally, having a daily routine that includes cleansing and moisturizing is critical. Cleansing ensures that impurities are removed from the skin on a daily basis, while moisturizing ensures the skin is kept firm, supple and hydrated. I always recommend natural products, as the body absorbs more than 60 percent of what is placed on the skin. There is a “wellness revolution” happening. Beauty from within is the future. It is not only a trend—it’s becoming a movement. So build your philosophy on the “edible beauty” principle: Never put anything on your skin that you would not eat. If you can follow this practice and look for products that are rich in natural oils and antioxidants, you will be rewarded with the benefits of a healthy, natural and radiant glow, both inside and out. • Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching.

TOGETHER
BEING CONNECTED IS ONE OF THE GREAT PLEASURES OF LIFE – IT ENHANCES OUR PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL SPIRITUAL HEALTH.
&
Being connected is one of the great pleasures of life – it enhances our physical, emotional and spiritual health. To that end, two long-standing community agencies merged in July, blending the benefits of two well-loved North State organizations to help seniors and people living with disabilities by promoting independence. Connected Living brought together the services provided by the Shasta Senior Nutrition Program and Golden Umbrella, which had been serving the North State for decades. Because they serve the same people at different life stages, merging allows their vital services to reach even more people who need them.
“ Everything we do is ultimately to help seniors stay healthy and in their homes for as long as possible,” says Jennifer Powell, Executive Director of Connected Living. “It’s the right thing to do.” With compassion, caring and collaboration, Connected Living now provides these core services and more: MEAL ASSISTANCE. Seniors can enjoy meals in a social setting at Connected Living’s senior dining centers. For
others, home-delivered meals and food bank assistance are available. HEALTH AND WELLNESS CLASSES. Free fitness programs are available at centers in Redding and Burney. Seniors can use the exercise equipment, take a class or join a walking group. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. Wheelchair-accessible buses provide low-cost, door-to-door rides for seniors or adults with disabilities who aren’t able to use traditional public transit. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. Power to Seniors and Representative Payee programs offer help with bill-paying tasks so seniors can avoid late fees and other consequences of missed payments. HELP AROUND THE HOUSE. Connected Living maintains a registry of trustworthy people who provide home repair or yard work services. ADULT DAY HEALTH CARE. Those with dementia, stroke, or other conditions can receive medical therapies to help them relearn or maintain daily living skills. ADULT DAY PROGRAM. This nonmedical program provides help with daily living and respite care when family caregivers need a break. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. Senior Corps connects healthy adults 55 and older with volunteer needs in their community. For instance, volunteers might make home visits to other seniors or mentor a child in a classroom. Connected Living’s goal is to be the place people call when they need any senior-related service in the North State. Whatever your need, “we can help point you in the right direction,” Powell says.
IT’S OUR LEGACY. IT’S YOUR LIFE. IT’S CONNECTED LIVING.

energetic melodies K A K I K I N G L I V E AT C H I C O ’ S L A X S O N A U D I TO R I U M IN KAKI KING’S HANDS, her guitar becomes numerous instruments, creating a multitude of sonic and rhythmic effects. She hammers on the fret board with her hands, while finger picking, and in the spaces between notes, she sometimes thumps, knocks and taps on the instrument’s body, creating layered patterns that mimic a hand drum. Hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as “a genre unto herself,” she has released eight albums over the past 13 years, performed on every continent over the course of multiple world tours, and has presented her work in a variety of prestigious arts centers. She has also created music for numerous film and TV soundtracks, including “August Rush” and Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild,” which received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score. A native of Atlanta, Kaki received formal
training as a child with the piano and drums. She started selflearning the guitar at age 10. Influenced by the styles of Alex de Grassi and Michael Hedges, she learned bits and pieces of their techniques and tunings. A critical stage in her development was when she attended a Swannanoa Folk Music Gathering in North Carolina and met legendary guitar teacher and performer Preston Reed, who shared his guitar-slapping harmonics and percussive taps with her. While at New York University, she studied music composition and ear training while working on a humanities degree. When she wasn’t in classes, she was playing in the subways or small clubs around the city. As time went on, the percussive 4 continued on page 72

nature of her playing became part of her signature style, along with alternate tunings and jazzy elements. After finishing college, she put together a collection of songs she had written during her college years and recorded them with no budget around Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island, on studio time lent to her from friends and fellow musicians. Released through Velour Records in April 2003, “Everybody Loves You” was soon getting her New York City gigs at venues like the Knitting Factory and Irving Plaza and opening slots with musicians like Robert Randolph, Marianne Faithful, Charlie Hunter, Soulive and David Lindley. Another of King’s musical talents is composing. She was commissioned by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang to perform her original piece “Other Education” alongside an orchestra at Carnegie Hall. King says the performance was a huge learning process for her, as she had never composed a piece for so many musicians before. “My compositions just sort of happen,” she says. “It’s usually just me catching a guitar riff that I like. If I spend the day playing the guitar, the next day, there’s usually this one little lick that will stand out in my mind. That will end up being one of my songs. I don’t really worry about the dynamics or perfection of a piece until I start to play it over and over. That’s when all the highs and lows come out and I really give it shape and character.” Her relationship with the guitar might be part of what fuels her consistently powerful compositions. “I see the instrument as something that has control over me and our relationship, I realized several years ago that it is directing me and that it really is what makes all the decisions. It’s almost as if I am in service to it.” King recently fused the ancient tradition of working with one’s hands with digital technology, projection-mapping imagery onto her 72

guitar in a groundbreaking multimedia work around songs from her 2015 album, “The Neck is a Bridge to the Body.” Using her guitar’s neck like a keyboard, she plays an intricate melody as she takes the audience on a musical journey of light and sound. She calls it “guitar as paintbrush.” “For years, I was very focused on being a solo guitar performer and being under the microscope: Just me, the guitar and one spotlight. And then someone said to me, ‘It would be great if you had some lighting design that changed with the atmosphere,’ and I realized that was something I’d always wanted to do, so I explored performance lighting, and I discovered projection. Normally, people associate it with large-scale projects against the sides of buildings, but I wanted to make it small and intimate.” King says there is definitely an “abstract storyline” to her multimedia show. “In the first half of the show, things are increasing in complexity,” she says. “During the second part of the show, things are becoming more humanized and more formed. That half of the show introduces the guitar’s own journey with its own self-identity and reflects my struggle to have my personal identity with the instrument. It’s not clear who is in control.” • Kaki King with German Lopez and Daniel Ho Feb. 4, Laxson Auditorium, Chico State University www.csuchico.edu/upe/performance/artists/2017-2018/guitarfestival.php Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University.

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

STORY AND PHOTOS BY AL ROCCA
R I C H H I S TO RY C H R O N I C L E D AT C H I C O M U S E U M SITUATED CLOSE to Chico State University in the downtown district, the Chico Museum offices and exhibits are housed in the historic Andrew Carnegie Library. The mission of the museum is to provide a “history of Chico for the education and enjoyment of the community.” The motto holds true as one climbs the concrete staircase at the entrance of the building. Once inside, a receptionist greets guests and offers a variety of informational pamphlets explaining the current exhibits and other historic sites and organizations in the Chico area, such as the Patrick Ranch and the Chico Air Museum. Recent exhibits have highlighted historic hotels: the Chico Hotel, Park Hotel and The Hotel Oaks. Each establishment contained unique artifacts, and on display a visitor can see old hotel keys, photos
of the hotel through the years, ashtrays, matchbooks, newspaper articles and silverware from the hotel kitchen. As you peruse the exhibit, you can appreciate the grand nature of the building – its large size (several stories high) and the ornate motifs and solid architectural construction. The other current exhibit provides an interesting look into the local Hmong community. Beginning with the message “Peb Yog Hmoob” (We are Hmong), the exhibit goes on to reveal some of the cultural history of the people and their transition to life in America. Again, artifacts, photographs, jewelry, toys and more help guests visualize everyday life experiences.4 continued on page 76

A special “History of the Chinese in Chico” exhibit includes an original temple and a timeline of Chinese activity in, and out of, the Chico area. A large, well-preserved Chinese temple drum and gong is on display, which was originally used in local parades and in temple ceremonies. One section of the museum is given over to a 19th century mock classroom, complete with old wooden student desks, blackboard and books. Several other plastic-encased displays look at early Chico pioneers such as James John Morehead, who settled in the area during the Gold Rush in 1852. He went on to thrive, first raising cattle in large numbers, then growing wheat. Morehead’s efforts proved successful. He constructed a beautiful Victorian-style home, continuing to be an influential resident of the Chico area until his death at age 57. One of the largest and most impressive displays is “Chico, California: A Place in Time,” in which photos, artifacts and summary explanations take the observer on a comprehensive timeline travel as they walk, read and observe from left to right—a distance of more than 20 feet. The timeline spans the mid-1800s up to the year 2016. Highlights look at famous pioneer John Bidwell, James Morehead (noted above) and important economic-impacting events. A gift shop offers the work of several talented local artists, including one-of—a-kind jewelry and local spices. The usual t-shirts, hats and mugs are available as well. • Chico Museum 141 Salem St., Chico • (530) 891-4336 Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 11 am-4 pm

SUPPLIES • 4 foot by 1 inch by 12 inch wooden board • Leather or faux leather • Small brass nails • Marker • Tape measure • Scissors • Hammer
1. Trace the size of your folders on your fabric, using your marker. For standard letter-sized paper, use the size 10 by 18.25 inches.
2. Use scissors to cut leather on the line drawn. Do this three times for each folder.
4. Place the three folders evenly on your wood so a letter-sized paper can slide in each. (The bottom edge of the bottom folder will be closer to the end of the wood, the top edge of the top folder will have more space between it and the edge of the wood so the folders with the paper inside will be spaced evenly.)
82
www.EnjoyMagazine.net JANUARY 2018
3. Fold leather pieces in half. The fold crease should be on the 10-inch edge of the leather so that each folder is 10 inches wide.
5. After folders are spaced where you want them, nail the top two corners so there is still enough space for the letter-sized paper to fit between them. Repeat step five with all folders.
6. Lean against the wall, or hang and enjoy!

On The Road Again A L I T T L E B I T O F H I G H WAY T R I V I A
WE’VE BEEN DOING a lot of traveling lately. I’ve lived in California my entire life, and I can’t keep up with all the changes. From Southern California to the Bay Area to the Oregon border, the miles are adding up. All that travel has sparked some discussion, research and a few disagreements about our California roadways. First, I still haven’t embraced exit numbers. When I give directions, I still use the exit street name. How about you? Most other states have been using numbers for a very long time. California is so big, and the cost was so great, exit numbers didn’t come about until 2002, and it took six years to post all those new signs. Also, I always thought the exit signs were totally sequential. Wrong! For example, Interstate 5 runs from exit 1A just north of the Mexican border to exit 796 at Hilt Road just south of the Oregon border. They ARE sequential, but based on actual miles from where the route begins. (I lost a bet on that one, and boy did I feel dumb). If you watch the exit numbers in areas where off-ramps are few and far between, you will see big gaps in those numbers. Most travelers are used to bridge tolls, but what’s with the toll roads? Many Orange County residents use one of the four tollways regularly, but compared to tollways in other states, they are still relatively new, with the first opening only about 20 years ago. The Southbay Expressway in San Diego is only 10 years old. The truth is, Californians just don’t like paying tolls! FYI, it costs $7.75 to cross
the Golden Gate Bridge now, and the tollbooths are gone. They snap a picture of your license plate, and you get a bill in the mail. The Oakland Bay Bridge is $6, and the remaining Bay Area spans are $5. TRAVEL TIDBITS • There are more than 15,000 miles in the California highway system. • Which lane has the fewest potholes and overall damage? If you said the left lane, you are correct! • Using a three-lane highway as the model, which lane is the most dangerous? More accidents occur in the right-hand lane. • The longest highway in California is debatable. It’s a tossup between Interstate 5 and Highway 101. Exit miles show 797 and 794 feet, but travelers clock Highway 101 at 807 miles. The shortest is the Tower Bridge in Sacramento, officially named Route 275 and only .14 miles long (737 feet). • There are more than 25 million registered automobiles and over 889,000 registered motorcycles in California. • A standard highway lane is 12 feet wide. (This varies, depending upon the area.) Here’s to hoping you have a travel itch inspired by reading this and are ready to take on a new adventure in our great state. One last tip – can the GPS (at least until you get lost). A good old-fashioned folding paper map makes it so much more fun! •

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:

CREATE
Molten glass became my burning passion.
I was a stay at home mom for 4 years before a friend of mine coerced me into taking glassblowing with her at Shasta College. With hardly any experience in molten glass, I truly had no idea what I was getting myself into. What started out as a fun experiment quickly morphed into an obsessive passion. I wasn’t a very good student in high school, so I didn’t have high expectations for college. But finding my calling within glass inspired me to take more classes and gave me the drive to do well in all of my subjects. My enthusiasm and excitement for creating and learning has impacted my interest and success in all of my other classes—making me a Dean’s List student and the first Glassblower to win the EOPS 2017 Student of the Year Award. I now have a plan for the first time in my life! I will transfer to Chico State in the Fall where I will continue to work toward my master’s degree so that I can one day teach others to find their passion. I am a Glass Artist now, and I have the amazing people at Shasta College to thank for helping me realize that about myself. Kayla Renee Gitchel Shasta College Knight, 2018

RAMEN EGG DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Fill a pot with enough water to cover the 4 eggs and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the eggs one at a time into the water using a spoon, being careful not to crack the eggs. Reduce heat to keep the water at a low boil. Cook for seven minutes for a soft boiled egg, 2 minutes longer if you prefer the eggs cooked a little more. STEP 2: While the eggs boil, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar and water and set aside. STEP 3: Next, prepare an ice bath – fill a bowl with water and ice. Once eggs are done, remove from the pot and place the eggs in the ice bath. Leave in the ice bath for 3 minutes. Remove from ice bath and gently peel (egg will be soft). Place peeled eggs in the marinade and make sure they are completely covered with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Leave in the marinade for several hours or overnight. When ready to serve, reheat the eggs in the hot ramen broth for a short time, but not too long, as the egg will overcook. Lana Granfors has resided in Redding since moving here from Texas in 1975. She devotes time to her passions: family, travel, gardening and cooking. A self-taught cook, her recipes are created with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, ease of preparation and of course, flavor.
RAMEN BROTH DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Heat oils in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 2 – 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for about 30 seconds, or just until fragrant so they don’t burn. Add the chicken broth, 1 cup of water, soy sauce, rice vinegar and oyster sauce. Stir to combine. STEP 2: Bring back to a simmer and then add the chicken thighs and allow to simmer for 15 – 20 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and using two forks, shred the chicken. Add shredded chicken back to the broth, along with bok choy, and cook for 3 – 5 minutes. Cover and remove from heat. PREPARE NOODLES If using fresh noodles, follow the package instructions or bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and simmer for 3 minutes. Strain and rinse with cold water. Toss with just a little sesame oil to keep from sticking; set aside. If using another type of noodle, follow the package directions. ASSEMBLY In a deep bowl, place a serving of noodles, and then ladle the ramen broth over them. Top ramen with your choice of toppings. Let the slurping begin! NOTES Store any leftover noodles and ramen soup separately.

Education Corner PREPARING YOUR PRESCHOOLER FOR KINDERGARTEN
A child’s early years are filled with exciting times and firsts. From birth to age 5, children are gaining essential skills that will help them be successful later in life. One of the biggest firsts that children and parents have is the first day of school. Preparing for kindergarten starts earlier than you think. Adults in the lives of children can encourage the natural curiosity of infants, toddlers and preschoolers to help with getting ready for kindergarten. Physical skills, socialemotional skills, and the more academic skills (ie. letter recognition, understanding stories and numbers) happen over time. Adults can encourage this learning by reading, talking to the child, singing different songs or playing with the child. Learning about school requirements early can help parents. Building routine and social interactions into a child’s life early will help the child with the adjustment to school. Taking a child to the school to meet the teacher and see the playground and classroom, getting a practice backpack, reading 20 minutes a day and practicing tying shoes all help with that first day of school. For more helpful tips and information or to obtain a Next Stop Kindergarten guide go to www.first5shasta.org.

Wishing you a Happy 2018 with some healthy insight from Kremer Chiropractic. Dianna - Make sure to spend time with family and friends. Life is busy, make sure to slow down and spend your valuable time with those that matter the most. Amy – Build in time for some form of exercise. Exercise is important for the mind, body, and spirit. Find something you enjoy doing, exercise should not have to be a chore but a form of meditation. Josie – Embrace happiness, have a grateful heart, think positively, speak kindly to yourself, worry less, always pray and make laughter a part of your day, every day!
Angie – Get outside! Find an outdoor activity you love and get outside. Being outside is good for your mental health and pairing that with a physical activity like walking or hiking is good for your physical health. Latrese - We give our body fuel to keep going . Filling up the body with toxins and preservative-loaded food may cause irreversible side affects. Healthy choices don’t have to be boring or bad tasting. Creating healthy recipes can be a fun project at home with the kids, or an enjoyable evening with a group of friends. Take care of your body starting by what you put in it. Healthy food choices heal the mind, body and soul.
Dr. Kremer – When we see a patient for the first time we always let them know there are two basic forms of chiropractic care. The first is relief care, which is pain control. The second is corrective care, which works on the underlying structural abnormalities (that are causing the pain) to make a more permanent change. This principal can be applied to everything in our lives. Take care of yourself! Dr. Martin – When encountering frustration with your weight loss goals, look more towards inflammation mechanisms versus traditional calorie counting for a successful breakthrough.
Diana – One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole entire day!
Dr. Milligan – A gentle stretch frequently is the best stretch for your body. The body will respond to a gentle stretch over an aggressive stretch, frequency is the key. For best results, hold your stretch for 30-60 seconds. If the stretch hurts you are either doing it too hard or too long, gentleness with frequency will get your body moving better in no time. Dr. Oiler – Holiday stress and extended hours due to work, parties, etc. can take their toll on your body and nervous system. Maintaining a regular sleep regimen of going to bed and waking up around the same times each day, and incorporating small power naps of 10-20 minutes can do wonders for the health of your body and brain.

NORTH STATE CHILDREN exposed to domestic violence are finding hope in the form of a unique camp - Camp HOPE. Camp HOPE America is the only evidence-based camping model in the United States focused on trauma-exposed youth. Shasta County’s camp is run through the Family Dynamics Resource Center, and Camp HOPE has been changing lives in Shasta County since 2012. Camp HOPE Shasta provides weeklong camping experiences and yearlong mentoring activities for children at no cost to them or their families. While participating in camp activities, children and their counselors establish goals that help build resiliency, increasing their coping skills and reducing the chance that the children will have emotional, social and behavior problems. “Consistency is key with these kids,” says Patty Price, Camp HOPE coordinator and child abuse intake specialist. Last
summer, 48 children attended the Shasta County camp. This summer, 72 children will be able to attend camp, with six staff and 12 mentors. California is one of 11 states with Camp HOPE programs. To volunteer with Camp HOPE, contact the Family Dynamics Resource Center at (530) 242-9007. Mentors must be between the ages of 17-24 and go through an application process. To attend camp, children must be nominated through a local agency by early spring. • 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.
