my town
Paul David Founder of SocialxBusiness Inc. Producer: Redding Health Expo & Redding Bridal Show
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN:
WHERE THE HEART IS… I loved growing up in Redding. As a kid, I would set up Kool-Aid stands in my neighborhood to make money and then ride my bike to the Circle K on Hartnell that used to have an arcade inside of it. If I was lucky, I would make my way all the way to the mall to the Gold Mine arcade they used to have inside. Although I don’t get to ride my bike or play video games as much, I definitely still have the Kool-Aid stand, but it has changed a little since those days and now is a digital marketing agency called SocialxBusiness. After graduating from Enterprise High School, I went on to attend Shasta College and eventually earned a master’s degree in business management from University of Phoenix. I stayed in Redding through all these years because this is where my family lives, and now this is where my kids go to school and live. I honestly wouldn’t want to call anywhere else my home. Some of my favorite things about Redding are the location, the mountains and the sunsets. I feel blessed to not only live close to my family, but to also live in an area that is surrounded by beauty. Home is definitely where the heart is, but for me it is where my mom, dad, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins live, too!

“Both light and shadow are the dance of love”- Rumi TO CELEBRATE a budding romance or a romance rekindled, the North State offers a stunning kaleidoscope of color any time of the year. Sunsets of pinks, blues and purples present tranquility. Sunrises consist of yellows, oranges and soft pinks, providing a stunning glow. Winter snow covers the mountains and trees, glistening in the sunlight and reflecting the sky’s brilliance. Fall announces the cooler air and changes in the leaves to rich yellows, oranges and reds. Spring dots the landscape with bits of colors set against lush greenery. Summer provides warmth in colors as well as temperatures, with earthy tones vibrant in the grasses and fields. The night sky introduces one of the most ancient forms of romance. The North State’s low light pollution offers
gorgeous views of the skies. After the sun sets, the night provides an enchanted time to inspire romance. These places offer views with different perspectives but one thing in common – they bring about a romantic awareness that enlightens the spirit and softens the heart. SUNDIAL BRIDGE: Enjoy a nighttime stroll on a unique bridge surfaced with transparent glass. It is illuminated from beneath and glows aquamarine at night. The river flows underneath, adding to the ambience. The botanical gardens on the other side of the bridge offer a tranquil place to take in the fresh air. This area is a sure setting for romance.4 continued on page 22

SHASTA LAKE: Taking a night drive to Shasta Dam and the Visitor Center gives romance another outlet. The stars cast their light across the lake. The lake waters twinkle below, with Mt. Shasta serving as a chaperone. A wide open grassy space allows views of the starlight. Cuddle up on a blanket and look up with a loved one. The night sky will do its part to ensure an affair of the heart.
WHISKEYTOWN LAKE: The stars sparkle in the night sky as you and your loved one view the lake from the visitor center. The mountains surround you with a Cimmerian shade. The blue water shimmers in the starlight. The viewpoint at the Visitor Center is an excellent opportunity to relish a sweet kiss.

American Heart Month
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions. Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for people to make healthier choices. You can make a difference in your community: Spread the word about strategies for preventing heart disease and encourage people to live heart healthy lives. Here are just a few strategies: • Making small changes, like using spices to season their food instead of salt. • Motivate teachers and administrators to make physical activity a part of the school day. This can help students start good habits early. • Doctors and nurses can be leaders in their communities by speaking out about ways to prevent heart disease.
• Being proactive about your oral health can protect you from developing a connection between oral health and heart disease, and keep your smile healthy, clean and beautiful throughout your life. You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing heart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also important for people who already have heart disease. To lower your risk: • Watch your weight. • Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke. • Control your cholesterol and blood pressure. • Get active and eat healthy. Loving your heart starts with understanding your risk. So make sure you know all your important health numbers. Visit your healthcare professional and ask for a few simple checks. Your heart powers your whole body. It lets you love, laugh and live your life to the fullest. Knowledge is power.

VIEW 202: A lovely dinner awaits you and your loved one on the scenic patio. Savor your meal while appreciating a view that overlooks the Sacramento River and mountains to the west. The water reflects the sunset as colors stream through the sky. The elegant ambience makes love thrive. RIVER ROMANCE DINNER CRUISES: Begin the romance with a cruise around the lake in style and comfort. Gaze at the beauty of the aquamarine water while sitting next to your sweetheart. Let your taste buds be tantalized by the dinner offered. Take in the serenity and tranquility of the flowing water. Take delight in creating your love story.
GAIA HOTEL & SPA: Looking for more than one night of romance? Let your romantic adventure begin here. Your journey can include dinner, massages and a cozy room. The serenity of the grounds adds to the romance of it all. A stroll over the bridge leads you to many paths that wind around the grounds. The soft light displays itself as your personal nightlight, lending to tender moments. • Christy Milan, with a passion for storytelling and a love of words, has been pursuing her dream that encompasses adventure and community connections.

GIVING NEW
PURPOSE
S PA R R O W ' S L A N D I N G I N R E D B L U F F ALTHOUGH SPARROW'S LANDING in Red Bluff is a new business, it’s built on a decade’s long dream and a love that took even longer to flourish. The ties that Larry and Rhonda Searcy have to their surroundings go back to their childhoods. “There have been five generations now that have grown up in this area,” says Rhonda. Yet it was only 10 years ago that the two found their way back to each other as a couple after knowing each other since high school and dating briefly in the interim. And it’s been 10 years of living on the land that once belonged to Rhonda’s father and determining how to bring the creative energies of both into a business. “There’s a wide range here, but the key purpose is homemade or repurposed items,” says Rhonda. “Larry is an artist. He’s been pursuing this for years but he’s never pursued it as a business.” He spends his time in a woodshop repurposing anything he can find, from wood he finds in creek beds to old barnwood. “He makes furniture out of repurposed, recycled wood,” says Rhonda, explaining how he’s created pieces out of an old cattle water trough he came across. “It’s any reclaimed material that he finds interesting.” “My fort is my garden shed,” she adds, explaining with a laugh that, “Pinterest is my friend.” She loves taking old cast iron teapots and making arrangements in them that she describes as “sustainable beauty.”4 continued on page 26

“We have a pond out back made of an old horse trough,” she adds. “It even becomes part of our creative tool as we use it to soak wood to make bird houses.” The bird houses not only inspired the name of the business, but also the creative energies that could derive from the land. When the old walnut orchard had to be taken out that surrounded the farmhouse, many birds lost their homes and Rhonda wasn't about to go about not having them in her life. “We have all kinds of birds here, of course,” she says. “I wanted to have a clear view of these birds living their lives.” Larry went about making birdhouses from the downed walnut wood and set them up strategically so Rhonda could view their activity from her kitchen window. His creations are now on sale in the Sparrow's Landing showroom. Larry continues his career as a professional cabinet maker and installer for Orland Cabinets, but with Sparrow's Landing he's turning the furniture making he did as a hobby into his own business. Rhonda is recently retired from First Five Tehama and says she loves to be “expressing myself in that high level creative.” Adding to the offerings is a Potion Room where the couple bring out goods derived from their garden. They love making mixtures from the dried or smoked Santa Rosa, Ghost and Habanero peppers they grow. “Every year we make a big garden,” says Rhonda. She anticipates more and more potions coming from their garden, and is clearly delighted to have her own potion room to play in. The couple had a soft opening of Sparrow's Landing in December and said they were overwhelmed by the support they received. “We wanted to see how it would go over,” Rhonda says, noting how encouraging it was to hear comments from friends that brought other friends simply because they knew how important and long-held this dream is for the couple. The business model of Sparrow's Landing is to be open during the first long full weekend of each month with special openings throughout the year, such as in April during the weekend of the Red Bluff Round Up. Visitors may call for special arrangements or custom orders throughout the month. The weekends when Sparrow's Landing are open become special events for visitors and the couple alike, and still allow Rhonda and Larry time to add to the offerings. “We have to have time to create as well,” says Rhonda. Visitors can check in on the Sparrow's Landing Facebook page for open dates and special events and offerings. “I want this to be a place for the community to come together,” says Rhonda. • Sparrow's Landing • 24060 Alden Drive, Red Bluff (530) 276-8248 • Find them on Facebook

bon appétit N E L LO ’ S P L A C E I TA L I A N C U I S I N E I N R E D D I N G JIM DAD, the owner of Nello’s Place, doesn’t need to go online to find out what customers think. Yelp and other sites are the latest way to share precious word-of-mouth advertising, but if Dad is out working the floor, it’s a good bet he’s already received the reviews. If there’s a problem, “I try to take care of it right on the spot,” he says. “I learned from my father-in-law: Be sure to take care of people before they go out that door.” Dad’s father-in-law was Nello Miele, a longtime restaurateur who opened Nello’s Place in May 1982, four months before Dad, a skinny kid from Yuba City, started bussing tables at the restaurant. Some 35 years later, Dad, who married Miele’s daughter, Rosa, is still putting in long hours at Nello’s. Dad was able to work alongside Miele for 16 years until his death in 1998. Miele’s wife, Tomiko, passed away the following year. Dad used that opportunity to learn everything he could about the restaurant business, working as a busboy, server, host and, for the last seven years, as a cook.
Dad says mastering the 70 dishes on the Nello’s menu has been the most challenging job of all. He also knows the kitchen is the heart and soul of any restaurant, which helps explain why Nello’s remains one of the few restaurants in Redding where reservations are highly recommended. Chicken allegro, scampi in garlic sauce, veal scallopini marsala, veal piccata and steak Diane are just a few of the popular entrees, Dad says, along with just about all of the steaks, chops and seafood grilled over mesquite coals. Tableside cooking, which Dad says is quickly becoming a lost art, is another popular feature at Nello’s. Each server is adept at preparing steak Diane, bananas flambé and cherries jubilee, each with an exuberant flourish of flame. Nello’s also is well known for the Caesar salads tossed at tableside. With its booths upholstered in red leather, linen tablecloths, subdued lighting and vintage crooners like Frank Sinatra on the sound system, Nello’s offers a distinctive old-school vibe that makes it a must-visit for 4 continued on page 30 FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

anniversaries, prom nights and other special occasions. New Year’s Eve is the restaurant’s busiest night, followed by Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Two large murals were saved during a 1989 fire that came close to destroying the restaurant. One depicts Naples, Italy, the birthplace of Miele, and the other is an image of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Dad says Miele always had a sentimental connection with San Francisco, where he managed the D’oro restaurant before moving to Redding. The path Dad took to Nello’s is a little less straightforward. Dad’s father left his native Pakistan when he joined the Royal Navy and managed to survive World War II at sea, despite the crippling losses inflicted by German U-boats. After “jumping ship” and settling in San Francisco, the elder Dad married and ultimately settled in Yuba City and became a farmer. When the elder Dad’s wife left, the father sent the younger Dad and his siblings to Pakistan to be cared for by their grandmother. Dad lived in Pakistan from age 3 to 13 before rejoining his father on the farm. High school was challenging, Dad says, especially since he had an extremely limited command of the English language. High school sports became his refuge and he was active in track, basketball and soccer, but his favorite was tennis. That affinity paid off a few years later when Dad’s father passed away and the father of Dad’s then-girlfriend invited the young high school graduate to Redding.

A quick survey of the abundant natural resources nearby convinced Dad that he had made a good move. “I saw all the lakes and creeks and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is heaven,’” Dad says. He enrolled at Shasta College and soon met the first of two men who had the biggest influence on his life: Jim Middleton, the tennis coach. Middleton urged Dad to enroll in English classes, which led to a better command of the language and a growing sense of confidence. Dad, in turn, gave Middleton two years of competitive tennis that was good enough to land Dad an induction into the Shasta College Hall of Fame. Miele, the other influential man in Dad’s life, led by example as he operated the popular restaurant. “I was a shy young kid and to see this guy greet people like that, and the way he would remember names and work the floor… when he taught me something, I’d pay attention because it was a lot better than farming,” Dad says with a wink and a smile. • Nello’s Place • 3055 Bechelli Lane, Redding; (530) 223-1636 Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday, 5-9 pm; Friday and Saturday, 5 to 9:30 pm www.nellosrestaurant.net

A
Healthy LIFE
Excess weight, inflammation, unexplained health issues – our bodies can tell an unpleasant story of living in a toxic world. Kremer Family Chiropractic will help you rewrite that story into a tale of wellness. When you come into the office, the staff at Kremer Family Chiropractic want to know the whole you. They’ll do a thorough exam, and the doctors will spend up to an hour with every patient reviewing their X-rays to understand their body’s conditions. If your body isn’t healing or if it’s inflamed, there’s a reason – and they take the time to find out why. It may be surprising to hear that headaches, migraines, digestive trouble and many other issues can be relieved by chiropractic care. The Kremer team can provide you with relief care through chiropractic work, which helps control pain, and also with corrective care, which works on the underlying problems that are causing that pain, to make a more permanent change. We hold toxins in our fat cells, and when our bodies are toxic, we suffer from all sorts of problems – high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, skin irritation, arthritis, nerve problems. If you come in for chiropractic work with a toxic body, it may not hold those adjustments or heal as it would if it were not toxic. The good news? Kremer Family Chiropractic has found the recipe to detox your body, using a system that is designed to work for you and your busy lifestyle. The science-based OptiLife program helps health professionals identify the imbalances that rob your body of its optimal function so they can resolve them. The doctors determine what your body needs to enter its optimal fat burning zone and stay there. Your customized program is as unique as you are, because no two people’s bodies are the same. There’s no surgery, no hormones, no pre-made foods, no drugs. It’s a 100 percent natural plan, supervised by a doctor, and it works. Women who have used OptiLife program have lost 20-24 pounds per month, and men have lost 30-35 pounds. Certainly, Kremer Family Chiropractic’s clients are thrilled when friends and family notice that they have lost weight. But the most remarkable story goes well beyond the scale. Their clients have been liberated from excess weight, and they’ve also been
“I feel amazing, and so much younger then my true age of 58. Before I did OptiLife my joints were hurting me all the time and I felt like I was constantly out of breath. I was also on blood pressure medication. After losing almost 24 pounds, all of that has gone away! I love how my clothes fit and of course the compliments I get on my new figure. Besides feeling better physically, mentally I am a new person. I have more confidence in myself. I am so proud of myself for sticking to the program. My favorite benefit to our weight loss is that I can now sleep in the same room as my husband again – the 30 pounds he lost made his snoring disappear! The whole family are now eating healthy foods and a enjoying a better way of living. Thank you for all of your help, guidance, and encouragement turning our lives around for the better!”

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
Blowing in the Wind J O E Y C A R R O L L O F P E A C E F U L H E A R T C R E AT I O N S THE FLUTE-MAKER closes his eyes. In his hands, he holds one of his creations, a polished pipe hewn from a fallen cedar. In his mind, he goes back to the day he found that tree, a casualty of cleanup from a Shasta County wildfire. In the opinion of Peaceful Heart Creations founder Joey Carroll, the taking of that tree had been unnecessary. “I sat down in ceremony, sad that this tree had been cut down,” he says. “I sprinkled a mixture of tobacco, sage and cedar shavings, and I asked if I could bring it back to life. I shed a few tears, and it said, ‘OK.’ It was a calm, peaceful voice saying thank you.” In the five years since, Carroll estimates he’s hand-crafted approximately 300 Native American-style flutes from this tree. Judging by the stacks of long cedar blocks in his garage workshop, he figures he’s got enough left for another 240. “This is how I brought it back to life,” he says. “Through music.” Though Carroll harvests with a chainsaw and cuts those blocks with his band saw, he prefers to detail with hand tools. He cuts the main sound chamber with a gouge, rounds a
block into a pipe with a draw knife, and handcarves each fetish, a small wood block that rests on a rise atop the instrument. Rather than drill the finger holes, he burns them with a tool heated by a torch. He polishes each flute with coats of tung oil, orange oil and beeswax. He says, “No chemicals. If I don’t want it in my mouth, I don’t want it in someone else’s mouth.” Normally, Carroll carves the fetish into the shape of a bird, but now he picks up a flute topped by a wooden bison, and he tells a story about why this one is special. He was prepared to play after a Center for Spiritual Living yoga class, when a student accidentally stepped on his flute, shattering it. “She was distraught and crying,” he says. “ I thought she was going to leave the class.” He talked her down and she stayed, but after the class she told him she must do something for him. She ended up giving him a piece of wood he’d never worked with before, much lighterhued, wider-grained Port Orford cedar. “It just came to me. I wasn’t sure what to do with it at first,” he says. “Then the energy came to me to make a white buffalo fetish.”4 continued on page 34 FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“MY INTEREST IN NATURE BEGAN WHILE WALKING ALONE THROUGH THE FOREST. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT THE TREES...” He explained that 20 years ago, a white buffalo calf was born into the world, the first in many human generations. He researched a Native American legend prophesy that the return of the white buffalo would usher in an age of harmony and balance. He also found another native prediction. “Crazy Horse prophesied that seven generations after his death, people would start recognizing that all races needed to come together,” he says. “This is the Seventh Generation. I decided it was time to bring that vibration through the white buffalo.”
Carroll says he found his place in the scheme of things when he met a Native American seer who told him his talent came from a past life. “I was told I was a natural,” he recalls. “I walked with the Shoshone Tribe and learned how to play. I was taught how to make flutes by the Blackfoot People.” He says he believes in reincarnation, just doesn’t dwell on it. But this reading answered questions for him. “The first flute I made, it played right on key. I didn’t know why,” he says. “I found out it was already a part of me.” Carroll didn’t find out about his artistic inclinations until late in his school years. Born in New Jersey, his California boyhood began at age 3 when his family moved to the Monterey Bay area. He remembers his father, a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, being mostly absent, preferring to hang out on the base with other soldiers. This gave the young man freedom to hang out with the hippies. “I identified with the direction they were going, being open to the idea of living together in peace,” he remembers. “In my last year of high school, my crafts teacher said he wanted to introduce me to an artist on Cannery Row – Gordon Newell, the sculptor. He inspired me to be an artist.” Carroll’s first try was blacksmithing, then he found himself drawn to wood carving. “My interest in nature began while walking alone through the forest. There’s something about the trees,” he says. There was also something about the flute, something he felt the first time he picked one up, a cheap model at a crafts fair about 20 years ago. “It just felt so right,” he recalls. “It was just something I needed to do. I could feel it in my heart.” Today, Carroll plays at his church and from time to time other venues in the Redding area, but he says it’s not really him playing. “I’m not playing. I can’t play the flute,” he explains. “I play the vibration of the song. I allow the spirit to move through me to play the flute.” Asked what that feels like, he replies, “A calmness moves over my entire being. And I can feel the connection between me and the earth and all humanity. And I know we’re all spiritual beings.” •

BEAUTIFUL IDEAS D O N M C L E A N AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E SINCE FIRST HITTING the music charts in 1971, singersongwriter Don McLean has accumulated more than 40 gold and platinum records worldwide and has been inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame. Over the years, his style of writing has found favor with a multitude of artists from the world of pop, rock and even rap. These include cover versions of his songs by Elvis Presley (“And I Love You So”), Madonna (“American Pie”), George Michael (“The Grave”) and most recently, Drake’s sampling of songs from McLean’s 1977 album, “Prime Time,” which the rapper used for the song “Doing It Wrong.” But McLean will forever be identified with the classic hit song “American Pie,” one of the most famous songs in pop music history. The song was originally inspired by the death of Buddy Holly. “The Day the Music Died” was February 3, 1959, when Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash after a concert. “For some reason I wanted to write a big song about America and about politics, but I wanted to do it in a different way. As I was fiddling around, I started singing this thing about the Buddy Holly crash. The thing that came out was, ‘Long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.’ I thought, ‘Whoa, what’s that?’ And then the day the music died, it just came out. I came up with this crazy chorus, and then about a month later I just woke up from a dream and wrote the other five verses.” On that same “American Pie” album was another classic song of McLean’s – “Vincent,” a heartfelt ballad about the life of painter Vincent Van Gogh. “I was reading a book about Van Gogh and I decided that it was an interesting idea for a song, and the idea of using the imagery of his painting, ‘The Starry Night,’ to tell a story. I’ve always striven to find beautiful melodies to sing and beautiful ideas to sing about, rather than angry ideas or ideas that were ugly. I think one of my purposes for being in the world is to find some kind of beauty and create music that’s beautiful in some fashion. I think The Beatles had an influence on me; I love the diversity of the things that they did, and I am really a fusion artist in that I fuse old-fashioned popular music with early rock and roll and folk music.”4 continued on page 38 FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
37
In 1969, McLean began his friendship with musician, environmentalist and peace advocate Pete Seeger, with whom he learned a lot about the art of performing. “I realized through my work with Pete Seeger that I didn’t want to spend my life as an entertainer that just sang love or sentimental songs. I also wanted to sing songs about what was going on in the world. So I wrote ‘Orphans of Wealth’ about poverty, and ‘1967’ and ‘The Grave’ were about the war in Vietnam.” During that timeframe, he accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater sailboat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest environmental pollution in the river. Aboard that sloop, he wrote several new songs, including his environmental song “Tapestry,” which was an inspiration for the formation of the Greenpeace organization, along with editing a songbook entitled “Songs and Sketches of the First Clearwater Crew.” “That was more than 40 years ago, and one of the things about knowing Pete Seeger in those days was that all of the intellectuals, writers, artists and scientists who supported his point of view, and who knew the environment was going to be in trouble, gave lectures and wrote books about what would be happening in the years to come,” McLean says. “There’s no doubt in my mind that global warming is brought about by the factors that these scientists referenced because I have seen it happen during my lifetime. We had a warning about this and we did nothing. “The way my mind works when I write a song is that I like to combine opposing things, and what I figured out was that politics and music run parallel going forward in history. That’s just my theory, but we do have a perfect example of that still being true, at least as I see it, because we have a kind of loud, spectacular but rather mindless form of cultural entertainment now coupled with a sort of mindless administration in Washington, all about how things appear and having no substance.” • Don McLean • Saturday, March 10 Cascade Theatre, Redding • www.cascadetheatre.org

COLD CARE T I P S T O C A R E F O R YO U R S K I N D U R I N G C O L D E R W E AT H E R BABY, IT’S COLD outside, and hot showers and indoor heat can wreak havoc on your skin this time of year. The weather has a direct effect on your skin—moisture and humidity in the warm seasons preserve the protective barrier of the skin’s natural moisture. So when temperatures take a nosedive, so do your skin’s moisture levels. Here are some tips to keep the moisture in your skin where it belongs.
• HYDRATE OVERNIGHT. Prepare your complexion for battle against harsh winter assaults by applying a hydrating overnight mask three or four times a week. These types of treatments are thicker than a night cream and are formulated to work while you sleep without clogging pores. Look for versions made with hyaluronic acid—a magnet for moisture—and omega oils, which are rich in nourishing fatty acids.
• EXFOLIATE. It sounds counterintuitive, but gently scrubbing (and we mean very gently) will actually help your lotions and creams work better. As your skin dries out, dead skin cells stop shedding, keeping moisturizer from fully sinking in.
• MOISTURIZE WHILE DAMP. Exposure to hot water with temperatures over 98.6 degrees causes blood-vessel dilation that results in water loss throughout the epidermis. So keep those hot showers under five minutes, and stick with a soap-free body wash instead of bar soap or anything highly perfumed. Pat your skin dry and moisturize while it’s still damp to help your cream penetrate.
• UPGRADE YOUR MOISTURIZER. When shopping around, look for the ingredients like glycerin or sorbitol, which are humectants that help pull moisture from the air into your skin. Keep a thicker moisturizer, like a body butter rather than a lotion or cream, next to your bed to re-energize flaky skin while you sleep. Butters and “whipped” products are high in oils and emollients. Try layering a serum under your facial cream for optimum absorption.
• EMBRACE OIL. Oil can be your friend, especially during the winter months. Slather on essential oil all over your body after the shower, when skin is still damp, for insanely soft skin. Try layering a facial oil blend under your moisturizer for extra protection in the cold. And don’t forget your eye area—opt for a dense, yet lightweight cream to keep skin supple.4 continued on page 42 FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

• LOAD UP ON THE RIGHT BALM. Some lip balms contain ingredients that can actually cause dryness, such as mineral oil (petroleum jelly), certain flavorings and perfumes. Try to find natural, oil-based balm, or one that has shea or cocoa butter in it. And SPF in lip balm is a MUST. Here’s a trick: Gently brush lips with a soft toothbrush, and then apply your lip balm for ridiculously amazing lips! • BEWARE OF YOUR WATER BOTTLE. Believe it or not, it can actually contribute to dry, chapped lips. Here’s how: When you take a swig from a water bottle, you’re often left with droplets on your mouth. When those molecules evaporate, they take moisture from your lips with them. You don’t have to go thirsty, though. Swiping on a lip balm or ointment throughout the day will help. So will buying a box of straws. Once cracked and fissured, lips can take a long time to heal because you’re constantly using them to speak and eat all day. • INVEST IN A HUMIDIFIER. The beauty of having a humidifier in your bedroom is that it can remedy any number of wintertime woes, including cracked lips and dry sinuses. Humidifiers produce water vapor that increases moisture in the air that’s been otherwise lost from the drying heat. Look for a model that uses upside-down plastic water bottles to maintain a healthy, safe environment. That way the bottles can be disposed of after they are empty. • SANITIZE. Opinions are mixed when it comes to hand sanitizers, but I appreciate a bit of germ killer, especially during flu season. Shopping carts, ATMs, even our own cell phones carry a myriad of bacteria. Keep a moisturizing gel sanitizer nearby, just in case you feel a little “icky” after touching something. •

B O U N D A R Y WAT E R S R E C E I V E S F I R S T P L A C E FOR MANUAL TEXTILE SCREEN PRINTING WHEN YOU WATCH DJ Bobette Riggs bop non-stop from behind her sound board, you can imagine how difficult it may be to capture her essence in just one image. But Michael Karns nailed it, and he’s won a prestigious industry award for doing so. Karns, the owners of Boundary Waters Screenprinting, was awarded first place for “Manual Textile Screen Printing” by the national Impressions Magazine. “My dad was approached by Wade and Bobette Riggs, who wanted an ad for their growing DJ business,” explains Trevor Karns, Michael’s son and manager of Boundary Waters. “He made it in house and the judge thought it was first-place material.” It’s Boundary Waters’ first award from this contest, though his father has won the award before. The shop will be featured in the February issue of Impressions. The 39th annual Impressions awards are touted as the industry’s most prestigious apparel decorating contest, with entries from all over the world. The overall grand champion was submitted by a company from Istanbul. Michael Karns graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and illustration, and he has been doing custom art for nearly 30 years. In 2011, he founded Boundary Waters, which specializes in screen printing, embroidery and banners. After a year of running his shop on his own, he hired his son, Trevor Karns, as manager. The Riggs availed themselves of Boundary Waters’ design services when they were looking for a logo to advertise their DJ business. Karns’ creation features a sketch of the Earth “listening” to a headset, with the words “DJ Bobette World Tour” in gray, white and hot pink. The logo can either stand alone or be arranged atop a photo of Bobette’s long legs as she’s wearing her signature diamond-studded stiletto heels. “He had free reign,” Bobette Riggs says. “I immediately loved it. It totally encompasses who I am as a DJ. He rocked it, that’s for sure.” •

Treasures OF Yesterday T H E B O G G S C O L L E C T I O N AT T H E R E D D I N G L I B R A RY IN THE 1930s, Mae Helene Bacon Boggs donated a small wooden cabinet with books to Redding Carnegie Library. The tomes on California’s pioneer past and early transportation were the beginnings of a Redding Library collection that continues to grow — a mix of books, pamphlets, reports, recordings, maps, videos, DVDs and other things offering history and clarity about the North State. “I love it,” Shasta Public Libraries Assistant Director Elizabeth Kelley says of the Boggs Local History Collection. “I think it is a very important collection to Shasta County and to the history of California.” The collection is on the second floor of the Redding Library, housed in drawers and glass-covered cabinets. Among the 3,936 items are: Wintu Dictionary; gold mining guide; Shasta Dam construction stories; DVD of President John Kennedy dedicating Whiskeytown Dam; Joaquin Miller’s book, “Life Among the Modocs”; Pony Express and Wells Fargo histories; recorded interviews with Isaac Lowe and other Shasta County civil rights leaders; 1862 map of Shasta County; business directories; Redding high school yearbooks; federal government report on the 9-11 terrorist attacks; soils surveys; Redding Rodeo programs; and episodes of public television’s “California Gold.” The focus is Shasta County people, places and events, but unusual items without a particular tie to the North State have ended up in the collection too, like former California
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s signed autobiography. “There are a few things mixed in that don’t fall into categories,” Kelley says. The library is a depository for state and federal documents, and many official publications, such as the reports on Iron Mountain Mine Superfund site, are part of the Boggs Collection. Mae Helene Bacon Boggs donated books centered on her love of California history and early transportation. She was 8 when she and her mother came to California in 1871 on the new Transcontinental Railroad. They arrived in Shasta via stagecoach. Her uncle lived in Shasta and was an agent for the stagecoach company. Boggs died in 1962 at the age of 100. She was an activist who pushed for the creation of Shasta State Historic Park and was a driving force in naming Shasta Dam. She donated books, furniture and artwork to Shasta Courthouse Museum. The Boggs Collection at the Redding Library is used by children writing school reports, graduate students delving into thesis work, researchers for government agencies, people new to the region, families tracking down history and many others. Kelley once helped an East Coast pencil collector date a pencil by finding the business name on the pencil in an old Redding business directory.4 continued on page 50

If there’s only a single copy of a book in the collection, it stays in the library, but many things can be checked out. “It’s a mixture of circulating and reference books. We try to get as much of it circulating as we can,” Kelley says. History inspired by the Boggs Collection is built into the library, which opened in 2007 in its Parkview Avenue location. Architectural details include: a concrete patio with a Wintu basket pattern, circular design in the upstairs windows based on lanterns from Pierson B. Reading’s Rancho Buena Ventura home and entrance columns paying homage to Redding Carnegie Library. The California Indian Library Collection is in the same part of the library as the Boggs Collection. Materials from University of California at Berkeley archives were sent to regional libraries in the 1990s. Redding’s collection focuses on the Achomawi, Atsugewi, Klamath River, Wintu and Yana, with recorded interviews, songs and dances of native people, as well as photos, manuscripts and other research. “What’s amazing about the collection is that it includes things that were never published,” Kelley says. One library patron discovered a photograph of his grandmother and a recording. “He said, ‘I’ve never seen a picture of my grandmother.’ He listened to her singing,” Kelley says. Tom Ramont, outreach/marketing coordinator at the library and a history enthusiast, gives tours to school groups.

Introducing children to the Boggs and California Indian Library collections is a favorite aspect, he says. “I ask things like, ‘What does rare mean?’ It starts the historical conversation,” he says. “We have such a rich history here in Shasta County,” Kelley says. “We have mining, we have the railroad, we have the dam. People should know about where they live.” That includes an understanding of the region’s difficult history, she adds. Materials in the collections help tell the stories of the treatment of Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants, the environmental damage of Shasta County copper smelters and other important history. “We need to learn from our mistakes,” Kelley says. • Redding Library • 1100 Parkview Ave. www.shastalibraries.org

An
Unexpected Journey
T H E C R A F T O F B L AC K S M I T H J O H N WO O D FROM THE SIDES of the forge come tongues of dragon’s breath. The orange and red flames lick the air as leather gloves push the steel rod inside, heating the dark metal into a glowing creature. John Wood’s hammer comes down with a firm blow as he places the rod against his anvil and begins to taper the tip. The cool air and hot metal transform as the craftsman twists and bends a plain steel post into a work of art. Wood came to Northern California with hopes of attending college and becoming an English teacher. “I loved to read fantasy,” he says. “And there in every story was a blacksmith.” However, life has its own journey. Wood married and joined the Navy, with the intent of returning to school. His naval career advanced and kept him focused on computers for the next 20 years. Each forge project begins with choosing the steel. He kneels down in his heavy leather apron, choosing a piece, then cutting it to length with a saw, then introducing it to a grinder to clean the edges to prepare the
piece for the flames. The sparks create a brilliant display, in an art where the creative process is as beautiful as the finished work. Before finishing his 20 years with computers in the Navy, John had begun to take blacksmithing classes in Maryland on a farm with coal forges and 30 acres of farmland, owned by the Maryland Blacksmith Guild. He knew he wanted to be part of an older style of life. Upon retirement, Wood turned to his wife Brooke. He promised her he would move anywhere she wanted. She chose her hometown of Weed. They purchased a vintage home, which John gutted and restored for his family. Wood’s tongs reheat the metal, then he dips the steel tip into the water, cooling the end for the vise to hold, where he turns the rod with slow deliberation, creating a spiral twist throughout its length. Alternating between the forge, anvil and vise, a hook begins to form like a living plant growing from the once-cold steel.4 continued on page 56
FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Using their savings, Wood added a garage to his remodeled home and began to collect the tools of his trade. His father-in-law discovered tongs at a garage sale. He scoured Craigslist for an anvil. His forge was purchased. What tools were unavailable, he crafted on his own. He practiced and designed hooks for various uses, opening an Etsy store and taking in orders. He began to add welding as a skill to increase the artistic outreach of his craft. His leather-covered hands quench the piece again in the water. The blacksmith moves between his stations until his artwork is formed. A chunk of beeswax is brought and melts a sheen over the finished product, coloring and protecting the metal. Looking outside his shop, Mount Shasta rises. Remembering his love of fantasy books, Wood names his business, “Forge Under the Mountain.” Daily, his Etsy shop brings new orders and special orders for fire trivets and fireplace tools. “I learned on a coal forge. Coal works great, but is really for show. I use a propane forge,” he says. “Every day I learn new techniques and take on new projects.” Wood loves blacksmithing. “I enjoy every challenge, learning to create something another person will want,” he says. He takes the cap off his head, wipes the sweat from his brow. He sets his thick gloves upon the anvil, then removes his tinted googles. “Blacksmithing is an amazing art. I think of the renaissance fairs I attended. I know I can learn to craft armor and swords. But what I value most is this job gives me time with my wife and two sons. Crafting a family is the best work of all.” • Find them on Facebook Etsy: ForgeUnderThMountain

BY KIMBERLY BONÉY
S T Y L E T R E N D S TO A D O R E I N 2 0 1 8 IT’S A LOVE AFFAIR as old as time. Every year, fashion lovers worldwide wait to catch a glimpse of what’s hot off the runway, hoping to incorporate some life-giving looks into the fold. We gaze adoringly at shiny magazine pages, drawing nigh to the ones that make our hearts soar. We’ve scoured this year’s most swoon-worthy looks and placed them here. You’re welcome. LAVENDER: We’re not sure if the announcement of Pantone’s color of the year for 2018, Ultra Violet, had anything at all to do with it, or if we are just holding over our love for Millennial Pink and all things whimsical and feminine into this new season, but whatever the reason is for the sudden and all-encompassing love for lavender, we are here for it. From dresses and sweaters to blazers or basic tees that pair with just about anything, it’s worth picking up at least a few pieces in the lovely hue. Wear it monochromatically or contrast it with navy, taupe, charcoal or chocolate to breathe new life into your neutrals. DARK DENIM: Wait. Don’t go tossing out your light, distressed denim. We’re just saying you should add a few elements of dark, crisp blue to your collection. As the dressy big sister to the soft, well-loved baby blues you are used to, dark denim is ideal for casual Fridays at work, a night on the town or an afternoon of shopping. Pair it with an equally dark blue denim blazer for an unexpectedly cool look. And no, it doesn’t look like your grandmother’s leisure suit. Dark denim is way too fresh for that. FRINGE: A sweet nod to the 1920s Flapper style, a bit of modern-day fringe is the way to catch eyes and hearts. Sure, a dress with fringe is fabulous, but if you need something more casual, let the fringe benefits rise to the top in the form of a scarf, a handbag, a bold pair of heels with fringed embellishments or ever-popular tassel jewelry. Even subtle infusions of this style trend, like a frayed edge on the bottom of a jean leg, is a texturally diverse way to incorporate the trend. The movement is sure to have you feeling runway ready.4 continued on page 60
FEBRUARY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

TRANSPARENCY: Do not – we repeat, do NOT – take your cue from the Fashion Week runways in a literal sense with this trend. The only place you (or anyone around you) would likely feel comfortable enough to rock this style without anything underneath it is on a catwalk. And, well, we’re just not there. You can, however, wear a sheer element over an opaque layer to add a beautiful and refreshing dimension to your ensemble. A slip dress or a pair of leggings and a tank in a neutral color under a sheer topper can help make this couture trend a ready-to-wear reality. ART-INSPIRED: It’s always a good thing to be considered a walking masterpiece. Wearing an art-inspired piece of clothing like a jacket, dress or t-shirt is a sure-fire way to do just that. Pair it with something solid to let the creative genius speak for itself. If you prefer the fine art of subtlety, add it to the mix in the form of a scarf or a handbag. Either way, you’ll be as pretty as a picture. FLORALS: Obviously. It is spring, after all. But these blooms aren’t the typical interpretation we’re used to. Picture the boldness of the ‘60s with a 2018 color palate. We love the way fiery tangerine and cherry blossom pink play together. Periwinkle flowers against a red backdrop are enchanting, too, especially because the duo pair so well with denim. The options for color combinations are as varied as the blooms Mother Nature shares with us. Just be sure to showcase this look with something solid so your flowers take center stage. FADED BLACK: Black always has been – and always will be – the new black. But there is something incredibly “now” about a black that looks like it’s gone through the washing machine one too many times. It’s that perfectly imperfect, I’ve-been-here-before look that makes the wearer look effortlessly chic. Look for faded black jeans, t-shirts, sweetly-worn-in leather elements and, of course, a leather jacket to carry off the look perfectly. And since the ‘90s punk rock style is clearly here to stay for a while, throw in a little bit of edginess with fishnet tights or top made out of similar material. Pick one or the other, though (not both), so it keeps you from looking like an extra in a B-grade ‘80s movie. You don’t need those problems. PUFFED-SHOULDERS: For many years, you may have held on to that vintage dress, blouse or jacket, knowing that one day, that puffed sleeve would be a “wow” instead of a “whoa” move. Today is that day. A mile-high shoulder isn’t what we’re after here. A subtle, feminine nod to the Victorian era is the soft yet noticeable element that can take your outfit from fair to fabulous. Look for it on romantic button front blouses or ethereal maxi dresses. If you are feeling wild this season, the leather jacket is an ideal vehicle for this look. Is it haute in here or is it just your puffed shoulder talking? •

A Gradual Facelift
Our faces change gradually over time, therefore many of us do not like the idea of changing our faces abruptly with surgery. The Physicians and Aesthetic Nurse Specialists at Disappearing Act believe in the concept of a Gradual Facelift. We believe it is brilliant to gradually make our skin and faces healthy over time, artistically and naturally. As time goes on, we slowly lose facial bone for support and we lose facial fat that used to fill and lift our faces. In addition, we often acquire fat where we don’t want it, on our jowls and under our chins. In the meantime, as our skin’s cells become less elastic, our facial muscles seem more dynamic, and they etch in our expressions. All of these changes happen slowly, so we also like to address these changes as time goes on. A gradual, non-surgical facelift concept is the key! The experts at Disappearing Act can help you to gradually “tap the brakes” on these changes, rather than “slamming on the brakes.” We welcome you to our office for a free consultation on your gradual, healthy journey.
Disappearing Act’s Tools for a Gradual Facelift
(varies with each individual person): • Ulthera Skin Tightening • Kybella and/or CoolSculpting for fat removal • Voluma for recreating structure when bone and fat is lost • Facial fillers for fat volume loss, and lip volume lost • Sculptra for skin tightening and volume • PDO Threads for skin tightening and subtle lifting • Vampire Facelift using your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to rejuvenate your skin • Various Lasers to remove red or brown color and tighten skin, reduce pores • Radio Frequency for skin tightening • Botox to relax the muscles and ease (or prevent) the etching of lines Each of the above are ways to keep your skin healthy and lifted over the years to come. We look forward to embarking on this beautiful journey with you!

of the DANIEL BEST'S STEAM TRACTOR NO. 185
UPON THE FIRST ENCOUNTER with this behemoth, it is as if a “steam-punk” themed sculpture had come to life. Sitting atop three gigantic all-steel wheels is what appears to be a steam locomotive anchored above a series of huge intermeshed gears and pinions with thick chains connecting the single front wheel to a series of smaller gears, sprockets and pulley systems. While impressive, yet confounding, when this immense and questionable piece of equipment is fired up it lumbers down a gravel road, black smoke belching from its stack, its weight causing the steel wheels to crush the gravel roadway, while the massive gear works grind and the steering chains for the single front wheel clang against the steel frame, indicating that this was no sculpture, but rather an implement with a purpose. This is the Daniel Best Steam Tractor No. 185. As the 19th century drew to a close, urban America was well into the innovation and expansion brought on by the Industrial Revolution. The agrarian landscape was a different
matter, the majority of which was comprised of small acreage farms, powered by livestock (horses, mules or oxen), and worked primarily by family members and migrant labor. With internal combustible engine technology still in its infancy, and borrowing from the success of steam locomotion technology being adapted from the railroads, the steam-driven tractor was born. This gave farmers the ability to expand and work their farms at less costs in labor, livestock and equipment. In 1889, Daniel Best's Agricultural Works (later renamed Best Manufacturing Company) began to manufacture steam engines for tractors at his plant in San Leandro, producing models ranging from 30 horsepower to a massive 110 horsepower model. Upon retirement in 1908, Daniel Best sold his company to Ben Holt, whose son operated the company under the Best name until 1925, at which time it merged with Holt Manufacturing and the two were renamed Caterpillar Company.4 continued on page 64

The Best Steam Tractor #185, one of the 364 built by the company, was constructed in 1904 and was the largest model of the line of tractors manufactured by Best Manufacturing. At 28 feet long, 9 feet 7 inches wide, 17 feet 4 inches from ground level to the top of the smokestack, and weighing in at 18 tons 800 pounds, its 8-foot-diameter rear drive wheels allowed for up to 15foot width extensions for stability on the soft California soil. Its water tank has the capacity of 940 gallons and it uses 340 gallons of water per hour. Its 5-foot-diameter single front wheel was steered by a chain and pulley system. Manned by a crew of three, driver, brakeman and stoker, and described by some as the Monarch of the Fields, it could pull 34 7-inch plows (the equivalent of 60 to 70 horses) at a rate of 12 acres per hour. This model was designed not only for agricultural field work, but also for long-distance freight hauling, and was used as road engines for the mining and logging industries. Horizontal boilers were the standard for most steam tractors of the time, but the 110 hp model was designed with a vertical boiler with a pressure of 160 pounds per square inch. The vertical orientation of the boiler allowed the tractor to better navigate uneven terrain and steep slopes. A significant improvement developed by Best was the use of a piston-type or spool steam admission valve, which alternated high-pressure steam in and exhaust steam out. By balancing the steam pressure, the steam engine tractor was able to move forward and backward more easily, depending on the orientation of the valve. The #185 Best Steamer was originally sold to California Sugar Pine Company for $7,500, and used to haul logs to the Collins-Ritt Mill in Shingletown. Later, until the mid-1920s, it hauled lumber from the mill to the railroad. It was sold to Harry Abbott in 1939 and placed in front of his Shingletown trading post along State Highway 44, later becoming the Big Wheels Inn and Restaurant. There it languished as a roadside attraction and a rather elaborate piece of yard art until the the Oakland Museum bought it in 1972. It was displayed during San Leandro's Centennial Celebration, then relocated to an old firehouse in the Elmhurst District of Oakland, where a crew of 60 volunteers restored it to its original condition. It was then moved to the Oakland
64

Museum and made its 1977 debut at the Museum's “American Farm” exhibit. During the mid-1980s, the Best Steam Tractor was moved to Ardenwood Historic Farm, an Alameda County Regional Park and interpretive center of late 19th and early 20th century farm life as a “living historical resident.” It was displayed in the farm's restored 19th century barn and brought out and operated by a crew of 12 volunteers during holiday weekends and special events, pulling hay wagons full of park visitors. Exhibited at the California State Fair, the #185 was able to pull 50 tons up an 8 percent grade, 36 tons up a 12 percent grade, and 72 tons on level ground. As a main feature, it remained at Ardenwood through the beginning of the 21st century. As age is no friend to most things, the rear pinion gear was worn to about one-sixteenth of an inch out of tolerance and needed replacement. New parts were manufactured using original 19th century techniques and machining. While the mechanical repairs were being done, the 10 volunteers from Ardenwood reconditioned the boiler tubing and did other plumbing work. After a week's work, the tractor was returned to Ardenwood. In December 2006, Daniel Best’s #185 Steamer was moved to the Roots of Motive Power Collection at the Mendocino County Museum in Willits, where it remains (on long-term loan from the Oakland Museum) on display today. Roots of Motive Power is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1982 to preserve and restore steam and diesel-powered equipment used in the California North Coast logging industry from the 1850s to the present. While still operable, the tractor's boiler has been “red-tagged” on its first inspection by the State of California. Roots of Motive Power is looking into repairing or rebuilding the boiler. Until the boiler issues are resolved the museum is not operating the tractor. •

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:

STORY AND PHOTOS BY BILLY PILGRIM
GERTIE, GOOD GRUB & GOOD FRIENDS
I WAS HEADED north on Interstate 5 on a road trip with my buddy Bill, and he said there was a restaurant somewhere between Redding and Yreka with a female mannequin residing in a bathtub in a restroom. If you touched the mannequin, a recording would play inside of a woman screaming, everyone would hear it, and embarrassment would follow for the party involved. It had been years since my friend had been there, so long that he couldn’t remember the name or location. After a round of guesses of roadside attractions in this part of California, we thought it just might be the restaurant and fuel stop called Pollard Flat USA. I must have driven past Pollard Flat a couple of hundred times. I had read many publication and travel guides that raved about the incredible food. In fact, some said it was a must place to stop to eat. But I was never hungry enough or curious enough to pull off the interstate to investigate. But now there was a reason. It was the legend of the mannequin in the bathtub, and I just had to see. I can’t imagine this diner has changed much since the 1940s, when it was the major stop on Highway 99 between Redding and Dunsmuir. I was hit by a warm wave of Americana and a nostalgia for a simpler and a more innocent time. The store and restaurant are a roadside museum, and a reflection of this part of the world several decades ago. Yellowed newspapers from World War II adorn the walls, as well as old license plates from all over the United States, memorabilia, snake skins and more. It takes a while to absorb it all. There is a certain sense of wonder. And a feeling of hunger! Hunger is not a problem here, with great plates piled with enormous portions of homemade rib-sticking American specialties – fresh eggs with thick slices of country bacon, incredible burgers, garlic chicken salad, butterscotch apple pie and Betty’s chili. There’s parking for 18 wheelers, and I saw plenty of truckers eating there – you know it’s got to be great. And it is! Just read all the five-star reviews on Yelp, with some saying it’s the best food on any interstate in the nation. Here’s a review from Hadi S.: “Had a chicken fried steak for breakfast, portion is big with a fair price. The best in California.” And from DeAnn V.: “One of the most interesting places to stop on I-5 and maybe the whole country. The staff is amazing and the food is definitely homemade.” How did I miss out on this experience for so many years? Where was my curiosity? I guess some things just happen when they are meant to happen. If my friend hadn’t brought up a vague story in casual conversation of a mannequin in a bathtub, I would still be bypassing exit 712 on northbound I-5. And I wouldn’t have met Bill and Donna that day, and Gertie in the tub. That’s Pollard Flat USA. Try Grandma Florence’s pea soup. You’ll love it. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16. He is married, has three children, and contributes his energy and time to Redding Recreation.

SUPPLIES • Wood sign, found at craft shops • Paint or stain • Chalk • Pencil • Printable quote (printed in black and white) • Pen or paint for calligraphy
1. Browse Etsy for a printable quote for your sign. Make sure the font is what you want, because this is what you will copy onto your sign. Print your sign (we prefer black and white) at a print shop. After your sign is printed, on the backside, color chalk over your design so that every letter has chalk colored behind it.
2. Lay your printout over the top of your wood sign. Craft shops have plenty of options for DIY wood signs, but we made ours out of 1x4-inch pieces of wood cut to size and nailed together. Paint it a dark color - we suggest black, charcoal or dark-stained wood.
3. Using a chalk or a pencil, firmly trace your printed design. This step will transfer your design to the wood.
4. Pull away your print to reveal your design on your wood sign.
5. Trace over your design with your paint pen, or paint and brush.
6. Set on an easel, table, or hang for your guests to see!
TIP: YOU CAN USE THIS SAME METHOD FOR WRITING ON A CHALKBOARD.
TO SEE I grew up in Palo Cedro, California and attended Junction, Nova, and Enterprise schools. My parents didn’t attend college, but always expressed to me the importance of a higher education. I ultimately attended Shasta College for the cost savings, but received so much more than I expected. Initially I had an interest in math and science, but I didn’t know where my career path would lead. Dr. Hansen’s human physiology class changed that for me. That was where I learned how complex and intriguing all the systems of the human body are and I realized at that point that I wanted to pursue something in the medical field. I completed my associate degree at Shasta College and was able to transfer to UC Davis while working as a firefighter/EMT to put myself through school. It wasn’t until I was at UC Davis with several hundred people in a classroom that I truly began to appreciate the small classes at Shasta College and the student-toteacher ratio. I went on to Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, where I finished my Bachelor of Science in physiology with a minor in biology. By then I had narrowed down my vocation and knew I wanted to become an eye doctor. I graduated with my Doctorate of Optometry from Pacific University College of Optometry in 2002. After finishing my education, I moved back home to Redding, took over the optometry practice of my childhood optometrist, Dr. David Dennis, and enjoy raising a family with my husband in the community that gave me my start. I’m proud to be an alumna of Shasta College, and I’m grateful for the outstanding education I received there. Dr. Kristi Davis Shasta College Knight, 1995

The Reach Higher Shasta Counseling Initiative is making great strides in developing a systemic approach in school counseling with the aim that Shasta County students are equally or better equipped to compete with students across the state in terms of preparedness for a post-secondary education and career readiness. The following high schools are participating in the initiative: Anderson, Anderson New Tech., Burney, Central Valley, Enterprise, Fall River, Foothill, Shasta, West Valley, and SCOE Independent Study. Counselors and administrators are working side by side to learn about the most effective practices across the nation and have already begun implementing some changes in order to better serve students across Shasta County. One priority in the Counseling Initiative is to increase our percent of students that complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our goal is to promote financial responsibility along with the encouragement to consider some form of education after high school which is called “post-secondary education”. Counselors and administrators have developed a plan to recognize students that graduate with a post-secondary plan in place in addition to completing a FAFSA. The program is called “Reach Higher Ready” and students will be recognized as “Reach Higher Ready” if they have completed a FAFSA and confirmed a post-secondary plan by May 1, 2018. Keeping with the Reach Higher theme and promoting every option for every student, the post-secondary plan may be a trade school, community college, university, or serving in our military. Students are encouraged to meet with their counselor to learn more about the Reach Higher Ready program. All high school seniors pursuing a post-secondary education should be aware that in order to be considered for a Cal Grant the FAFSA must be submitted by March 2, 2018. The website is www.fafsa.ed.gov.

HEART A M E R I C A N H E A R T A S S O C I AT I O N THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. Six cardiologists started the association in 1924, and it has grown to include more than 30 million volunteers and supporters to date. Heart disease and stroke are the top two global causes of death, stroke also being a leading cause of disability. Cardiovascular diseases affect more than one in every three American adults, many becoming seriously burdened by disabilities. To fight such diseases, the American Heart Association funds innovative research, while advocating for stronger public health policies, and also providing the tools and information needed to save and improve lives. The association’s goals are to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans and reduce cardiovascular related deaths by 20 percent, all by the year 2020. Their overall goal is to help people understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle by providing science-based treatment guidelines for healthcare professionals to follow. They are the nation’s leader in CPR education and have also funded several lifesaving advances such as the first artificial heart valve, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and heart transplantation. Risks of cardiovascular diseases and stroke can be lowered by adhering to their ‘Life’s Simple 7’ rule: not smoking, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, eating healthy, controlling blood pressure, controlling cholesterol and controlling blood sugar. This nationwide organization includes 146 local offices and more than 3,400 employees. • To assess your cardiovascular health, visit MyLifeCheck.org and answer a few questions. To volunteer with the American Heart Association visit www.heart.org/HEARTORG/ volunteer, or contact their Sacramento location at (916) 446-6505 for more information.
