editor’s note april 2018
THEY SAY you’re never fully dressed without a smile – that’s the kind of dress code that we can get behind, and we have all sorts of things to grin about this month. Cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat are also an essential part of the dress code in the North State right about now – it’s Round-Up time, and the fine folks in Red Bluff are ready to welcome thousands of their friends and neighbors from all over the nation to enjoy three thrilling days of professional rodeo. Need an escape? Aaron and Jessica Souza have you covered. Their brainchild, Extreme Escape, is an adrenaline-filled quest to find your way out of a life-sized puzzle before an hour elapses. If the snow lures you north to Mt. Shasta, take a few minutes to stop by the Sisson Museum, where a new
exhibit explores the colorful history of tattooing. The museum also features a thought-provoking exploration of Mount Shasta’s role as a destination for spiritual seekers. Travels taking you south instead? Slow down and enjoy the half-million acres of almond orchards, which are putting on a grand display of white and pink blossoms right now. Don’t forget your camera. Finally, meet Marcella Brown, the creative costumer who transforms average folks into apes, pixies, tin men and more for the Cascade Theatre stage. Whatever your attire, never leave home without that smile – and Enjoy Northern California Living.

my town
Silas Lyons,Executive Editor Record Searchlight
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: LIBERATING… In 2006, when our son Emerson was born, Kristen and I decided to move away from The Best Place on Earth. We had lived in San Luis Obispo off and on since the early 1990s, when we first met there in college, and there were great things about life in a college town on the Central Coast. Our friends, horrified at the thought of triple-digit summer days and a town with a Walmart, took bets on how soon we’d move back (I don’t know this for a fact, but I strongly suspect it). When I say “Best Place on Earth,” it’s because that’s literally what people there call it. And Redding is, indeed, hot. One day in the summer of 2006 I was walking to my car in the Target parking lot when I noticed a flapping sound. It was the sole of my right sneaker. The glue had melted. But we never moved back to SLO. We never even seriously discussed it. Life in the North State is so much more than the cost of living, but that’s a good place to start. I truly believe Redding is the last great affordable city in California. People with middleclass jobs buy houses here. They own boats and RVs and nice hunting rifles and mountain bikes. If you haven’t lived in a place where the median price of a home is half a million dollars, it’s hard to appreciate what a big deal this is. It’s freedom. Then there’s our location in this natural wonderland. We are nearly encircled by opportunities to get outside, breathe clean air and splash cold, clear water on our faces. The Sacramento River Trail, the single tracks, the lakes and streams, the peaks, the volcanoes, the caves, the historic sites, the charming small towns – each one is a destination. That, too, is liberating. As a parent, I have watched Emerson thrive in schools that gave him enormous opportunities to grow, explore – even learn Chinese. We have found our tribe here, and he’s found his. And that may be the most liberating feeling of all. Photo by Melinda Hunter

C A S C A D E T H E AT R E ' S S K I L L F U L COSTUMER, MARCELLA BROWN
THE AVERAGE PERSON sees black fleece; Marcella Brown sees ape fur. Someone sees a wig; Brown sees Tarzan’s matted dreadlocks. Someone sees glittery Spandex; Brown sees the Tin Man. As the primary costumer for the Cascade Theatre, Brown transforms actors into the characters that they play on stage. She creates the costumes for “A Cascade Christmas” and the Cascade’s annual spring and summer productions, including “Oliver,” which opens April 19. Brown’s first involvement with the Cascade was during “Wizard of Oz,” and the director said the Tin Man needed to look like metal, but still be able to dance. Sparkly Spandex did the trick, “and when we got it up on stage, it looked so good,” Brown says. Her credits include “Peter Pan,” “Tarzan,” “Rock of Ages” and more. “I got my name for being the most glittery person in the world - I love to bedazzle everything,” she says. “Even Peter Pan got some sparkles because you had to be able to see her on stage. Not everybody notices that, but the ones that do really get it. If I could have kept bedazzling Captain Hook, I would have, but he must have lost about 30 pounds during the show because his coat was so heavy.” Brown’s love for sewing was inspired by her seamstress mother. “She told me, ‘When your foot can reach the pedal, you can sew.’ I was about 9, and once it began I never stopped. I sewed for my dolls, for my neighbors - then about 35 years ago, I started with weddings.” Her upbringing in San Francisco sparked her interest in costuming. “My grandmother used to take me to ballets and operas, and as a little girl sitting out in the audience, I said, ‘I want to do that.’ I didn't want to be a dancer – I wanted to sew. Most of the little girls wanted to take ballet lessons and be a ballerina. Not me. I wanted to make the pretty dresses.”4 continue on page 22 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The lifeblood of her operation are three regular sewing machines, three sergers and two embroidery machines, “and every one of them gets used,” she says. Costumes start out as sketches on paper, and watching them come to life is otherworldly. “I did the drawing for the beautiful purple flower in Tarzan, and once I got her done and got her on stage, it was just magical. I got to make a flower that danced.” “Then I nitpick,” she admits, “but that’s later.” The mother of three moved to Redding from the Bay Area in 1989, where she made dresses at Loralie Originals. “I thought I knew everything, but I learned a lot of secrets,” she says. She then ran a children’s clothing shop, Marshmallow Kids, for a few years. She continues to make custom wedding gowns occasionally. “The harder it is, the better. I don't like the simple things - I want to do the wedding dress that one bride wanted out of red velvet. She knew what she wanted and it turned out beautiful,” Brown says. Jana Leard, producer and artistic director for the Cascade Theatre, marvels at Brown’s attention to detail. “Her costumes are museum worthy and crafted with love,” Leard says. “She is extremely creative in her design, authentic in nature with the final product and her costumes are always presented with the highest quality. She understands the demands of durability for the needs of the cast and stage as well as being extremely flexible when edits and changes needed to be made.” Tarzan’s wigs were a perfect example. She combined two wigs so she had enough hair. And while real hair knots up quite nicely, it’s tricky to get synthetic hair to behave that way. “I used powders and soap and icky things to make it want to stay matted and not come

out,” she says. Night after night, she spent hours watching TV while she used lice combs to create that look. “Tarzan had to look phenomenal, and he did,” she says. “If he would have just had some funky wig, it would have looked funky.” Outfitting the apes “wasn’t sewing - that was just craziness,” she says. “We had 129 yards of black fleece that we cut into one-inch strips, and then we cut little holes in the pants and T-shirts and tied the strips onto the garments.” Each lead character had a unique fur color - red and burgundy, silver, blue - so “we had to find anything we could find that could blend in with the black and make the colors,” Brown says. “That was fun, especially when you put them on your mannequins and back up and look at them. They were just gorgeous” – so impressive, in fact, that a Los Angeles company asked to rent them. Work on the Christmas show begins in August, and work on the spring show begins in January. Each show can easily require 100 costumes. “It's a madhouse in the green room,” she says. And when the curtain finally rises, watching her work come to life defies description. “The first show you get to sit down and watch fully, you just sit there with little goosebumps the whole time,” she says. “I hold my husband's hand and squeeze it the whole way through. “It’s been a dream-come-true kind of job.” •

bee kind C A L I F O R N I A N AT I V E B E E S
THERE’S PLENTY OF BUZZ about the goodness of bees. The little guys zip from flower to flower, pollinating plants that provide us with food — tomatoes, almonds, lemons, melons and much more — as well as beauty. European honey bees get the glory. You know the ones: Hang out in hives, have a queen and make honey. Native bees hum along under the radar, but they are power pollinators, too. “We really want people to know the importance native bees have,” says Marissa Chase, manager of the University of California Berkeley Urban Bee Lab. California has 1,600 native bee species — a jumbled group of big, blimpy, tiny, shiny, fuzzy, sleek, drab and flashy characters. Native bees are generally solitary. Rather than hives, they nest in hollow stems, pieces of wood or underground. Colony Collapse Disorder is a threat to European honey bees, which were introduced centuries ago. It isn’t a worry for native bees, who don’t live in colonies. But all bee populations have been hurt by habitat loss, pesticides and climate change, Chase says. To better understand connections between native bees, plants and people, UC Berkeley researchers launched the Urban California Native Bee Survey in seven cities in 2005. “The urban environment was considered kind of a dead zone,” Chase says. But it turns out that plants in cities are important
foraging resources for many types of bees. Redding was brought into the survey in 2009. Monitoring was done several times at Turtle Bay Exploration Park’s gardens. In 2013, Chico was among five cities added. Monitoring is at Gateway Science Museum’s native plant pollinator garden and at private gardens in Chico. “We go about twice a month, starting around March and through August,” Chase says. Researchers note which species visit which plants. Some bees are captured for identification in the lab. “You get really good at it,” Chase says of netting bees. “You develop your bee-eye.” Chase, who grew up in Red Bluff, is a molecular environmental biology major with a concentration in entomology, and plans to earn a doctorate degree. “It’s really a great lab to be a part of,” she says of Berkeley’s Bee Lab. “My favorite part is going out and actually collecting them. They are beautiful creatures to watch.” Among her favorites are charismatic bumble bees and ultra green sweat bees, which have bright-blue/metallicgreen coloring. She admires the spunky spirit of the wool carder bee — aka, head-bonker bee. “It will collide with a honey bee to knock it over,” Chase says of the territorial bee.4 continued on page 26

Native bees evolved with native plants. Some are specialists that limit nectar and pollen gathering to very few plants. Others are generalists that flit to many plants, including non-native species. Gardens with a mix of plants blooming over many months help make up for natural habitat lost to houses, businesses, roads and other development. Bee-friendly landscapes offer nesting areas, are located in a sunny spots and shun pesticides. “California Bees & Blooms: A Guide for Gardeners and Naturalists” was published in 2014 and draws on research from the Bee Lab. “It contains a lot of great information on how to garden for native bees,” Chase says. The lab’s work also is the source for “Common Bees in California,” a pocket-sized set of cards of bees likely to be found in California gardens. “California Bee-Friendly Garden Recipes” is another UC resource. The free 17-page guide can be downloaded by searching “native bees” at www.anrcatalog.ucanr.edu. The “recipes” are instructions for creating gardens to draw bees, such as a container garden or food garden. Chase understands that fears of being stung might cause some to question having a yard with lots of bees buzzing about. “My mom is allergic to bees,” she says. “It’s definitely something to keep in mind. But I’ve spent so much time collecting and handling bees and I’ve never gotten stung.” Only male bees can sting, she notes. And bees, unlike wasps, are not aggressive. “They are friendly,” Chase says. “They are really not out to sting you.” (The exception: Africanized honey bees, which are not, thankfully, in Northern California.) • UC Berkeley Bee Lab, www.helpabee.org A FEW BEE FAVORITES FOR NORTH STATE GARDENS: • Salvia “Indigo Spires” • Shasta Daisy • Gumweed (Grindelia stricta) • Manzanita • Santa Rosa Island sage • Ceanothus (Salvia brandegeei) • Lavender • Gaillardia “Oranges and • Black sage (Salvia mellifera) • Russian sage (Perovskia Lemons” atriplicifolia) • California poppy

TAT TO O S A N D M Y S T E R I E S O F T H E M O U N TA I N AT S I S S O N M U S E U M IN ITS CURRENT EXHIBIT, “Tattooed And Tenacious,” Mount Shasta’s Sisson Museum explores the colorful history of tattooing in our state. We learn from the exhibit that women played a big role in promoting the inked art, beginning with its adoption by fashionable upper-class women in the 19th century (their tattoos included family crests and portraits of lovers), its display by tattooed circus ladies, and its more modern adoption by an emerging feminist movement. And there was Janis Joplin and her tattoos, too. Much of the tattooed artwork on display is from a traveling exhibit making its way through California, but there will also be examples of tattoo art from local shops. You’ll find “old school” stuff—remember the rose with “Mom” alongside it, or the good old American eagle and flag?—as well as the newer, customized artwork that’s popular with younger people. It’s a bid, say museum organizers, to bring in a younger demographic to the museum, which was founded in 1983. When you visit the museum this spring you’ll find more than tattoos on display. The museum has added new features
to its ongoing exhibit on the physical features of Mount Shasta. A new video, shot from a helicopter, features a complete circumnavigation of the mountain. There’s a touch screen display that allows visitors to learn more about the physical features of the mountain, from volcanoes to hydrology. And, for the kids, there’s a replica of the mountain’s lava tubes to crawl through. There’s also a thought-provoking exploration of Mount Shasta’s role as a destination for spiritual seekers, something that goes back to the late 19th century writings of Yreka resident Frederick Spenser Oliver. He wrote about a mystical brotherhood of the mountain and their secret city within the mountain. In more recent times folks began using the mountain as a jumping-off point for astral travel to distant galaxies. Tourists come from all over the world seeking the mysterious underground city of Telos, said to be buried deep inside the mountain and populated by refugees from the lost continent of Lemuria.4 continued on page 30 continued on page

Mount Shasta historian Bill Miesse contributed to the museum’s explorations of the spiritual side of the mountain. He points out that the spiritual power attributed to Mount Shasta stems in large part from its physical qualities, starting with its majestic presence and dominance of the surrounding landscape. Then there’s the ethereal, often-changing colors that radiate from its upper reaches, and not least of all the saucer-shaped lenticular clouds that often wrap themselves around the mountain (and that are the subject of a separate photo display at the museum). Spiritual seekers, from indigenous Native Americans to modern-day spiritual tourists, have sought and found god-like qualities in the serenity and majesty of the mountain. It seems to come down to simple faith: If you believe in the mountain’s spiritual power, you’ll find it there in some form. Or, as Sisson Museum Executive Director Jean Nels puts it, “All of these interpretations of the mountain are inside our heads.” You'll also be able to read narratives and see photos from a variety of people sharing their experiences of the mountain. Works by local artists give their interpretations of the mountain’s spiritual aspects. Featured works include Finley Fryer’s six-foot metal sculpture, “Stealth Angel, “ and his stained-glass “Illuminated Head.” “Tattooed and Tenacious: Inked Women in California’s History” and “Mount Shasta: Mystery And Magic—Elevating The Human Spirit” open March 31 at the Sisson Museum. • Sisson Museum • 1 North Old Stage Road (take the central Mount Shasta exit and head west; the museum is just past the intersection with Old Stage Road) Friday-Sunday, 10 am to 4 pm • Admission: $1 suggested donation (530) 926-5508 • www.mtshastamuseum.com

Honor’s Music T H E O ’C O N N O R B A N D F E AT U R I N G M A R K O ’C O N N O R
THE WAY MUSICIAN Mark O’Connor sees it, American music has a broader dimension – it speaks about current times, looks toward the future by engaging people, and reflects on the past so we remember where we came from. “All my creativity is born out in the present day, in my day-to-day life. And then as I explore and dive into it, I find connectors,” says O’Connor, the Country Music Association’s six-time Musician of the Year. “I find connectors to the future and looking back into history. More often than not, all of my music reflects a sort of tugboat of ideas and history and traditions that I pull along with me.” Growing up in Seattle, O’Connor got bitten by the music bug early. He remembers the exact moment. He was 8 years old watching the Johnny Cash show on a black-and-white TV. Renowned Louisiana fiddler Doug Kershaw was on that day. He turned to his mom and told her that’s what he wanted to do. A few years later he had his own fiddle. “A $50 pawn shop fiddle and I started taking lessons. And I took off with it. I was inspired by music. It felt like I was able to pour my emotions into this beautiful musical instrument.” 4 continued on page 34

Soon after, he began taking lessons from legendary Texas fiddler Benny Thomasson. By age 14, he had won three national fiddling championships. He toured the festival circuit with French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli and guitarist Chet Atkins, along with making a name for himself as a studio musician, playing the violin, guitar and mandolin. Many of his fans are probably most familiar with his recordings with Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, Vince Gill, or perhaps O’Connor’s Hot Swing Trio. In the 1970s and ‘80s he played in bands with some of the greatest acoustic string players of all time. But his musical heyday occurred from 1989 to 1996, during the country music renaissance in Nashville. Prior to ‘89, he was a sideman sought after by all the Nashville stars and figures, resulting in him recording on at least 500 albums. Currently, O’Connor performs in the O’Connor Band, which features himself on strings and vocals, wife Maggie on fiddle, son Forrest on mandolin and vocals and Forrest’s partner Kate Lee contributing fiddle and vocals. Rounding out the band is National Flat Pick Guitar Champion Joe Smart and bassist/banjo player Geoff Saunders. Forrest, a Harvard graduate, is a former Tennessee State mandolin champion. With that lineage, the band displays solid command of its instruments and respectful treatment of traditional and traditional-sounding songs. Its first album, “Coming Home,” reached number one on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart in 2016 and won the 2017 Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Album.
“This band is a kind of a culmination. It’s really invigorating to play in it. I feel like I’m coming home: to my country bluegrass family. It’s a band full of musicians that actually grew up in musical families. I’m the veteran, so I’m kind of schooling everybody about being a professional musician. One of the special features of our working together is our dual and triple fiddles; that has to work really well. I decided to have each of us in a separate role supplying a separate texture: long notes, faster solos, rhythm. Maggie and Kate grew up playing in family bands. For them, innovation and texture come from attention to vocals. Forrest’s ability to play the mandolin, with his technical training and his musical sense, he can carve out ideas and play with that gorgeous sound. There are so many layers to Kate’s ability to emote a lyric. With Kate and Forrest, I think it’s more about the lyric. They really sing the lyrics that they write.They have this kind of communication that developed early on. To the sophistication of the fiddles and the mandolin you add that singing talent, and it sounds like we’ve been doing this forever.” He adds, “I believe our stamp on music will be an amalgamation of all these things that we naturally are, blended into a unique direction and still accessible to bigger audiences. I think for us, it’s like the old country song by Buck Owens – just act naturally!” • The O’Connor Band featuring Mark O’Connor, April 15 Sierra Nevada Brewery Big Room in Chico www.sierranevada.com/brewery/california/big-room

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
HEAD ROOM A A R O N A N D J E S S I C A S O U Z A’ S E X T R E M E ESCAPE
A MAD SCIENTIST has released a deadly virus in town, goes the storyline. You must find the formula for the cure in his lab – no meager task, for he has sealed the information with 15 locks. Each must be opened in sequence after following clues to codes to their combinations or keys, including one last key that unlocks the door. To win the game, you must escape the room within one hour. This walk-in puzzle is one of three rooms offered by Extreme Escape in downtown Redding. The other two mimic a casino and an Old West jail. Husband-and-wife proprietors Aaron and Jessica Souza designed, constructed and scripted every meaningful detail – including those that might lead you astray. “We might ask you to put together things that don’t normally go together,” Aaron says cryptically. “Think about the possibility of fitting a square peg into a round hole.” Jessica performs a rapid-fire, pre-game orientation for a group of nearly 20 stalwart souls preparing for the challenge. She introduces them to five different kinds of locks they will encounter, as well as to other particularities in the room. “There are things you can move and some you can’t,” she cautions. “If something seems stuck, it’s meant to be that way. Don’t force it. An exception is the fire extinguisher. There are no clues on it. Don’t move it. Unless you set something on fire.” Today’s players are all employees from Home Depot in Anderson. They split into two teams, with most people going into the casino. Jessica locks the remaining seven in the Mad Lab. Led by their supervisor, Alicia, the team of workers scans walls marked by cyphers and symbols and clues not yet seen. A screen on a wall plays a countdown of minutes remaining. 4 continued on page 38 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
37
During the next hour, team members search the room in all directions, and shout out their findings – or their bewilderment. Overheard, things like: “It’s a sudoku! Does anyone here do sudokus?” “Do we weigh the locks to get a combination?” “So, we have all the marbles. What now?” Three times, all the action stops and the team asks aloud for a clue. They get three clues free, a fourth one if they agree to a twominute penalty. Aaron keys in the first clue from his desk computer, where he monitors action in the room via closed-circuit camera. “Through clues and hints we ultimately control the tempo of the game,” he says. He hits “send.” Clue 1 appears on the screen inside the Mad Lab. The team springs back into action: “Okay, we need three letters and four symbols!” “The wall correlates to the board!” “What do we need the tweezers for anyway?” “I got a fan!” Aaron admires the problem solving he sees on his computer monitor. “About half the time, the way we set it up and the way they interpret a task is different,” he observes. “And there are times when what they concoct works.” It works for the team from Home Depot – barely. The players emerge from the Mad Lab with little more than one minute left. Thumbs up from Aaron. “You stayed calm. You communicated well,” he told the team. Aaron and Jessica say they didn’t fare that well with their first escape room, while on a trip to Reno to visit family. “We didn’t get out,” says Jessica. “And we’re not very good at losing. But we were hooked. Instantly.” They say they had to book six weeks in advance for the room in Reno, and so they had to wait until they returned to Redding to play again. “We searched around and found an escape room in Lake Tahoe,” recalls Aaron.
“Which is a long drive from Redding, but that’s our nature. Impulsive,’ adds Jessica. “We found it was a cool thing to do with the whole family. It helps recreate that bonding that so often gets lost in families.” They both prioritize family, even those beyond their own. For the holidays last year, they constructed a Christmas-themed escape room, and donated the proceeds to Northern Valley Catholic Social Service’s Adopt A Family program. “We sponsored six families,” he says. They’re planning a school-themed room this year. “We want to raise money so we can donate scholarships to graduating seniors, four to six of them, depending on how much we make.” As it was in Reno, the demand is strong for an hour in an Extreme Escape’s IQ-twisting, mental maze here in Redding. Friday, Saturday and Sunday bookings normally fill the hours between 10 am and 10 pm, according to Aaron. It’s easier to get in earlier in the week. Now, what do you think a creative, competitive couple like this might plan for a holiday? Clue 1: They're hooked. “We’re just back from a four-day trip to Austin, just for escape rooms,” says Aaron. “We played six rooms, plus one on the way there. We found one in Sacramento while we were waiting for our plane.” Adds Jessica, “There’s that spontaneous nature.” • Extreme Escape • 1440 Butte St., Redding (530) 768-1919 • All bookings are made through the website, www.extremeescaperedding.com

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS
A
Brush History WITH
A RT I S T M I C H I TA K E M OTO B R I N G S H I S TO RY TO H E R A RT MICHI TAKEMOTO cannot speak from personal knowledge of the trauma associated with life in a Japanese internment camp; she was a 7-month-old infant when World War II ended and her family was allowed to leave Camp Topaz in Utah. Her parents, now deceased, did not speak about that frightening and tragic period in their lives. Now, as a retired psychotherapist, Takemoto is letting her art bring the camp experience to life. Her goal now is to have her internment camp-inspired oil paintings viewed by as many people as possible. “This is a part of our history. This is what can happen when people have fear and anger,” she says. “People come to see my paintings and they say ‘this didn’t really happen, did it?’ It’s just not taught.” With no personal memories to rely on and few, if any, anecdotes from her parents to guide her, Takemoto used black-and-white photographs from the National Archive to inspire her paintings. (Cameras were considered contraband in the camps, so there are no snapshots tucked away in an album.)
The idea for the internment camp series came from Joan Pechanec, a fellow retired therapist and Takemoto’s longtime art partner. The two met more than 25 years ago while both had practices in Redding and they almost instantly agreed to reserve each Friday for making art, “and boy, did we look forward to that.” Despite her years as an artist (mostly working in encaustics, cold wax and collage), Takemoto says she only began painting with oils three years ago. At first, she was reluctant to pick up the brush because she was still stung by the harsh criticism of her early work by one of her University of Illinois art teachers. When her friend, Peggy Elwood, encouraged her to take an oils class, Takemoto came to a realization: “I was 70 years old and figured what the heck.” “You just love it so much you have to keep going. There is so much to learn and so many surprises,” she says of oil painting. “You have a result in mind but getting there is such a process. You learn so much that it never gets boring.” Takemoto says there is so much compassion involved in her work as a therapist that “it somehow comes out in my work … it comes from my heart.” 4 continued on page 42 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
41
That heart connection was evident when Takemoto began her 17-piece internment camp series. “They just came so much, it felt like it was one a week—just paint, paint, paint. I did not know where it would lead me but I had to keep going.” There were also times when reviewing the internment camp photos brought on depression and Takemoto had to step away and regroup. The forced incarceration of Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants started in February 1942, two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order authorizing the Army to designate Military Areas and to remove “any and all persons” from those areas. While a particular group was not identified, some 120,000 men, women and children of Japanese ancestry (including 77,000 U.S. citizens) were given mere days to settle their affairs before they were transported, under guard, from their West Coast home to temporary assembly centers and ultimately forced into one of 10 camps. Takemoto’s parents and her 2-year-old brother, William, left their Sacramento home and were sent to the camp in Tule Lake and then to Camp Topaz near Salt Lake City, where Takemoto was born. After the war, the family settled in Chicago, where Takemoto grew up and earned a bachelor’s degree in design and a master’s in social work. She met and married her husband, Chris, and they moved to Sacramento in 1977. Chris Takemoto’s new job with an advertising firm brought them to Redding a year later. Takemoto became a licensed therapist and worked with Shasta County Mental Health and Northern Valley Catholic Social Service before establishing a private practice that she operated for 30 years. Takemoto’s internment camp series has been the focus of four exhibitions. The series was first exhibited at Shelly Shively’s O Street Gallery in Redding in October 2015. The United Methodist Church in Redding, which helps organize an annual pilgrimage to the Tule Lake camp, hosted an exhibit in July 2016. In February 2017, the series was part of an exhibit at the Manzanar camp in Inyo County to mark the 75th anniversary of Roosevelt’s executive order. Most recently, Takemoto was part of a joint exhibition with Pechanec at the Siskiyou Arts Museum in Dunsmuir. “They are to be displayed wherever I can do so to keep the memory of that dark history in America,” Takemoto says, “and to remind people how fear can turn to anger so quickly and then to hatred toward many innocent people.” • www.michitakemoto.com Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 37 years of experience.

IN 1968, Howard Taylor moved to a new community for a business opportunity, partnering in a dealership in which there was no guarantee for success. “But he had to make it work,” says his son, Brent Taylor. “He had four little mouths to feed. He had to make hard and fast decisions.” Brent’s sister Dian continues, “He left a wife and four small babies in Portland. Brent was just 4, and I was a year old.” By 1969, Taylor moved his family to Redding, and now Taylor Motors is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Today the GMC, Buick and Cadillac dealership is a staple of the Redding community thanks to the elder Taylor, who recently retired. “But he’ll never admit it,” laughs Brent. “That word is not in his vocabulary.” There’s never a guarantee the second generation will carry their parents’ torch in a family business, but Taylor Motors had two torchbearers: siblings Brent and Dian. Two of four children, Dian and Brent are both general managers at the dealership, though their other two siblings work elsewhere. “Nursing was my sister’s passion, and my other sister’s husband is in the business but on the corporate level,” says Brent.
So clearly, Dian and Brent are the favorite children? Dian laughs, “Maybe Brent, but not me.” The siblings began working at Taylor Motors when they were young, “cleaning the store and things like that,” says Dian. “We knew we wanted to be in the business but we had to start at the bottom. We did janitorial and I ran parts, and Brent detailed cars. “We were working here summers, on the weekends, after school.” “We were pretty young,” agrees Brent, with Dian quipping, “it might not have been legal, but it didn’t hurt us any.” In fact, those early years were probably what inspired both Brent and Dian to attend automotive marketing school in Michigan, which led to corporate careers with both Mazda and Honda, and Mitsubishi respectively. But in the early 1990s, both returned to Redding to work at Taylor Motors. Despite their differences, the brother and sister work well together, so much that they complete each other’s sentences. “Dian and I, we are –” “Polar opposites,” Dian chuckles. “But in a really good way,” continues Brent. “We’ve worked well together for the last 27 years.” 4 continued on page 46 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“Actually, my dad and I are really similar,” Dian adds. “Headstrong, hard-headed, driven people, and Brent is more laid back. He’s more,” she pauses. “He’s kind. Though I’d like to think I’m kind, too.” So if you’re heading to Taylor Motors looking for a car? “You need to see me,” quips Brent. With such good rapport between them, it would be no surprise if Taylor Motors celebrates a centennial in another 50 years, so long as a third generation of Taylors rises to the occasion. “I have a 14- and 16-year-old who both work jobs at the dealership,” says Brent. “As a matter of fact, my 16-year-old is in the collision center right now.” Brent’s youngest, though, is the car enthusiast, he says. “He’s like me. He wants to hear V8 power.” But according to Dian, the younger generation just isn’t into cars like her father’s was. “My dad’s generation was way into cars,” she says. “But today, kids think of cars differently. They don’t look at them as the car that you polish and cruise with your friends, and race, and those kind of things.” Which may be why 50 years of continuity in a dealership is difficult to come by. “A lot of time the second generation is where dealerships die,” she says. “Plus, there’s always new stuff. As much as the business has been around, it’s always changing. Our dad saw the day when there were no imports in America.” Today it’s remarkable for any business to reach 50 years, especially in the wake of a millennium’s worth of technological change and advancement packed into just the last 20 to 30 years. So it’s refreshing to find continuity in business, let alone among family. Perhaps Taylor Motors’ success is thanks to the same headstrong quality that Dian shares with her father, a man whose vocabulary doesn’t admit the word “retired.” Or perhaps it has something to do with the Redding community, or even a softer side to the elder Taylor, which isn’t overtly obvious. “He liked what he saw in a place to raise his family, and the loyalty, and he knew if he took care of them, they would take care of him,” says Brent, referring to the community and his father’s employees. And just like the elder Taylor would never admit he’s retired, Dian adds, “he would never tell what he’s done in this community. There are stories and stories of people needing help, but the things he’s done, nobody ever knew.” Both Brent and Dian recall stories of their father paying medical or utility bills, or contributing to college tuition, just providing help when and where it was needed. “But he won’t admit to it,” says Brent. Even when people thank him, “he’ll say, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’” • Taylor Motors • (530) 410-6816 • 2525 Churn Creek Road, Redding taylormotorsredding.com

A L M O N D B LO S S O M S I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E FROM BAKERSFIELD TO RED BLUFF, commuters may notice half a million acres of almond orchards distinctly featured by white and pink blossoms that come into bloom during February. While the almonds (a stone fruit – not a nut) are harvested in the fall, they usually come into bloom when the weather starts warming up and bees can help cross-pollinate the trees. If you are traveling through Northern California at this time, it’s worth driving the lesserknown highways to take in the view. “With this warm weather we’ve been having, some of the (almond) varieties are starting to come into bloom earlier, like the nonpareils – the big, beautiful trees that everybody likes,” says Kevin Treff, a grower representative for T.M. Duche Nut Co., Inc. Located in Orland, Duche processes almonds and walnuts at its 40-acre plant and is surrounded by orchards.
“The winter varieties bloom first, but they all need each other for pollination,” Treff adds. If you take Highway 32 from Orland to Durham, it’s likely you’ll land in the heart of almond blossom country. There you may find the Vanella Farm Store. Located at 2379 Durham-Dayton Highway, Robert and Susan Vanella bought their first almond huller in 1968 and started building their farm, which now includes their two sons. The family business farms walnuts, alfalfa, wheat hay and almonds on their 3,000 acres. “The almond trees bloom when the weather starts getting warm. One of my friends just delivered his bees, so it is coming soon,” says Vanella Farm Store salesperson Jill Simon. “You can definitely tell when the almonds pop because it looks like snow. It’s beautiful – that contrast of white on dark brown trees and the blossoms covering the ground.” 4 continued on page 50

Although the locals are used to the bloom, it’s still a sight that never gets old. It even sparked the Durham Sports Boosters to create an annual Almond Blossom Run to raise money for its sports programs. Held every year in February since 1982, the Almond Blossom Run is the booster club’s biggest fundraiser. “A lot of the local runs are held in (Chico’s) Bidwell Park, so we like to say that this one is ‘not just another run in the park’,” says Almond Blossom Run Committee Member Kirsten Southam. “It’s a beautiful run and flat. You’re basically running through small neighborhoods and almond trees. People love it because it’s different. They love the almond tree blooms and the student athletes cheering along the way. We have three little wineries in Durham, too, so coming out here and bicycling along the orchards and doing some wine tasting is a nice way to spend a weekend.” As an Almond Blossom Run course monitor, Southam’s favorite part of the event is seeing all of the Durham students cheering the runners on. “Especially the high school kids…I think it teaches them appreciation for all of the people who have donated. Then at the end of the race we have almond samples from Blue Diamond, Lundberg rice chips from our local rice company and fruit from Pro Pacific Fresh. One hundred percent of the proceeds go back to those athletic programs…it’s just hometown family-friendly fun.”

Around the time of the bloom, almond handlers at the Western Nut Company in Chico will take a break and bike ride to Durham to enjoy the bloom. “This is perfect weather for the almonds right now; it looks beautiful with all of the blossoms,” says Grower Affairs Manager Maricela Buenrostro. “The bloom gives a snapshot of what the potential crop could be and what’s going to come in August,” says Sales and Marketing Manager Todd Meyer, who is often out in the orchards and fielding questions from bulk-quantity almond buyers. “On our end – and probably the growers’ – it’s kind of nerve-racking because we wonder if or when wind, rain or frost is going to come. This is a critical time for setting the crop; we’re not admiring the blossoms as much as looking at what the potential is here,” he adds. “We consider Valentine’s Day the start of the bloom, but the trees are starting to pop earlier this year as it warms up and the trees start to come out of dormancy. When we go out there and see bees flying around and cross-pollination happening, it’s a good day for us,” Meyer says. “This is a great time to be out there and enjoy the blossoms.” • Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt.

“I TOLD MY SUPPORT GROUP AT MERCY MEDICAL CENTER REDDING THAT MY FAMILY KEPT DANGLING THESE CARROTS OUT IN FRONT OF ME TO KEEP ME FIGHTING,” WHITNEY SAYS.
Nobody has time for cancer – certainly not a busy wife and mom. But cancer doesn’t tend to discriminate, and that’s exactly where Jill Whitney of Redding found herself in 2008, when she was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome. “The first thoughts running through my head were, would I ever get to hold my first grandchild or watch our youngest daughter graduate from high school?” Whitney says. Shortly after her diagnosis, the Whitneys’ oldest daughter and son-in-law discovered they were expecting. The world became a brighter place when that first grandchild arrived. Nine months later, Whitney had a bone marrow transplant and then she relapsed in 2011. Her prognosis was
“All the nurses hold a special place in my heart. I can’t even begin to explain how much they’ve changed my life, how much they’ve done for me” grim – doctors weren’t even certain that she’d live more than a few more weeks. Meanwhile, life barreled on, as it tends to do. Her youngest daughter graduated from high school. Her middle daughter got married, and “I was determined that I was going to be there for her wedding, so I was going to get well.” Another grandchild arrived, and another, and soon there were five new, sweet blessings in their lives. But that stubborn cancer refused to go away,
DIGNITY HEALTH MERCY ONCOLOGY CENTER 530.245.2900
and she continued seeking treatment, solace and support through Dignity Health. “I told my support group at Mercy Medical Center Redding that my family kept dangling these carrots out in front of me to keep me fighting,” Whitney says. “A support group member constructed this hat for me with a carrot dangling out in front of it. He has since passed away, but I’ll never forget him.” Though she’s considered to be in complete remission, she still must receive chemotherapy for five days in a row every six weeks, either up at Mercy Medical Center Redding or its cancer center on Hartnell Avenue. She knows each of the Dignity nurses by name – and became so close with one that she was invited to her wedding. “We went through a period of about two years where I was very sick, and it was a really difficult time,” Whitney says. “Kim was just so caring and compassionate, we became friends. All the nurses hold a special place in my heart. I can’t even begin to explain how much they’ve changed my life, how much they’ve done for me.” Those deep, personal relationships between Dignity Health’s oncology team and their patients are sacred and treasured, says Sierra Seidel, oncology clinical nurse liaison for Dignity Health. “That continuity and personal care is really what makes us special here,” she says. The future looks bright for Whitney, and she’s seeing results that her doctors say are nothing short of miraculous. “I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for the doctors and nurses, and my family,” Whitney says. “My husband Roger continued to be by my side this whole time, and he’s been amazing. He had to take on so much responsibility after my transplant. My parents and our three daughters have played a huge role in my care, too. I wouldn’t have made it this far without all of them.”

YO U R B E A U T Y R O U T I N E G O E S B OTA N I C A L
FLOWERS ARE POPPING UP everywhere this time of year, and not just from the ground. Flower petals, seed extracts and oils are showing up in everything from intensive beauty routines, to spa treatments, to entire skincare lines. You don’t have to be a botanist to incorporate favorites like rose, lavender and hibiscus into your beauty and relaxation routine. While botanical goods are trendy right now, the use of flowers for their beauty and health benefits is not a new concept. Romans used calendula on their skin for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties; orchid extract has been used in the fight against fine lines; the wellness benefits of lavender—for sleeping and migraine relief—have been studied for centuries. Then there’s Cleopatra, who is said to have bathed her feet in orange flower water, and used rose water as a facial toner. Even in today’s complex and highly scientific world, the simplistic, restorative power of flowers remains unrivaled. ROSE: Fights dryness, reduces redness and regenerates aging skin Nicknamed the “queen of all flowers,” rose is best suited for mature skin because of its hydrating properties and ability to heal broken blood vessels that can cause lingering redness, and the large concentration of vitamin C found in rose is less harsh and more tolerable than citrus-derived vitamin C. Rose also works wonders for your emotional well-being, health and spirit. The oil and essence of these pretty petals help balance and soothe skin. Rose essential oil is a pricey ingredient, as blossoms must be harvested in early morning by hand. Rose oil offers vitamins and essential fatty acids to repair damaged skin, and is one of the most powerful skin rejuvenators.
CHAMOMILE: Diminishes ruddiness, puffiness and inflammation Like rose, chamomile eliminates a ruddy complexion and calms the skin while also improving skin’s elasticity. Chamomile is a vasoconstrictor, so it helps tone down redness in the skin, while the high concentration of azulene gives the flower its anti-inflammatory effect. If chamomile tea is known for its calming and soothing properties, wouldn’t it make sense for skincare, too?
HIBISCUS: Revives skin and acts as an exfoliator and antioxidant Commonly used in Chinese medicine, the hibiscus flower revives the skin, due to its antiaging alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) and amino acids. The skin-perfecting benefits to hibiscus are endless—it exfoliates, tones, firms and hydrates, as well as protects against premature aging. Hibiscus is also revered for its scalpreplenishing and blood circulation-stimulation qualities. Indian women frequently use oil from the flower as an intense hair treatment. The vitamin C and amino acids in hibiscus promote hair growth and prevent hair loss, and also help to reduce dandruff. 4 continued on page 56

LOTUS: Soothes dry skin With a history that spans thousands of years, the Asian-derived lotus flower is considered a sacred plant. Sweet and fragrant, this antioxidant-rich skin conditioner is known to be intensely hydrating and soothing, particularly for parched and mature skin. Lotus can also promote a more elastic complexion, fading brown spots and erasing fine lines and wrinkles. Chock-full of antiaging enzymes, the root of the plant is plentiful in vitamins B and C and iron—which are all beneficial for maintaining healthy skin. LAVENDER: Balances out oil levels Besides acting as an antiseptic and antibacterial, lavender is known for its numerous skin benefits. Lavender is a rather mild essential oil and helps normalize oily, sensitive skin and dry types by balancing out sebum production. It’s also used in spa treatments to relieve stress and tension, induce a state of relaxation and promote a good night’s rest. ORCHID: Retains moisture, fights free radicals and renews the skin Regularly used in fragrances, orchid petals protect the skin from environmental stressors while hydrating and renewing it. Due to its regenerative and protective properties, orchid is now being incorporated into mainstream beauty products. Orchids have water-holding capacities, making them perfect for all skin types.
JASMINE: Relieves congested skin and dry complexions Jasmine is favored not only for its scent, but for its propensity for declogging pores and hydrating and softening the skin. Most products actually contain jasmine wax, due to the high cost of jasmine flowers. However, the wax itself offers skin-protecting measures, too. Jasmine typically blooms at night, which makes it a perfect ingredient for body lotions and creams. It has a warming effect and increases circulation. SUNFLOWER: Healthy for hair and skin Perhaps not as well known for its cosmetic properties, the sunflower is primarily known as a food source; however, the oil from its seeds contains impressive quantities of vitamin E, which is important for hair and skin, facilitating moisture retention while not interfering with the natural exchange of oxygen through its protective, light coating. VIOLET: Restores moisture to dry complexions. Besides being fragrant, violets are filled with vitamins A and C, which protect and restore the skin. Violets also contain essential oils, which soothe and hydrate the skin. Additionally, violets are a natural source of salicylic acid and antiseptic, which fight against bacteria and can reduce the appearance of acne breakouts. So put away the vase—for now. Flowers have many more benefits than simply brightening a room (although we love that about them, too). Flowers are so much more than a bouquet. They can help calm our stress and soothe our skin. Power to the flower! • Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching. She is currently working on her doctorate in English Education.

HAPPY SOUL HEEL AND SOLE IN CHICO SLIPPING ON A PAIR of shoes may seem like a relatively mundane task. It’s something we all do every day – at least once. But when that pair of shoes is stylish, comfortable, good quality and reasonably priced, this simple act can be a gift to the soul. The right pair of shoes can make a person feel better, walk taller and strut their stuff on a runway or a sidewalk. In short, the right pair of shoes can change your life. Just ask Cinderella – or Rick Stuelpnagel, owner of Heel and Sole Shoes in Chico. He has learned over the years just how much happiness the right pair of shoes can carry. “I used to think people only cared about the price. That’s not the case. Sure, they want something comfortable, something that has quality, and something in their price range – but it better look good. Even the guy looking for work boots will ask his wife how he looks in them first,” says Stuelpnagel.
Stuelpnagel, who says he barely recalls how he came up with the name Heel and Sole, does remember wanting the moniker to be something memorable for customers. “I thought the double meaning would be something that would stay with people.” And stay with people it has. The words “heel” and “sole” clearly reference anatomical parts of a foot, but the clever play on words encourages shoppers to ponder the name on a deeper level. Heel and Sole’s homophones, “heal” and “soul”, help to brand the store as a place to get more than just stylish accessories to wear on your feet. It encapsulates the happy feeling that comes with finding that perfect pair of shoes. And the store delivers on its promise. A Chico State graduate, Stuelpnagel spent some years living out of the country – in Peru where he ran a large milk plant and in Mexico, where he worked in a food4 continued on page 60 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

factory. “We wanted to return to Chico. There was no need for any more food factories. The town had plenty of that. I figured I’d start a shoe business,” Stuelpnagel says. In 2002, he opened Heel and Sole, something he had never considered before he made the decision to return home. “It’s fun, a good income and an adventure. It’s always a gamble. Fashion can change so quickly. You’ll sell 200 pairs of the same style one year and you are lucky to sell 12 pairs the next. And then you have a shoe like Saltwater Sandals that sell in the exact same style for 25 years. It’s quite a challenge because you have to have what people want – the right style, the right color, the right fashion. If it’s just a little bit off, you’re done. It’s pretty unforgiving,” says Stuelpnagel.
The sheer variety of options at Heel and Sole can be overwhelming – in an I-can’t-decide-which-10-pairs-I-want kind of way. With at least 80 different brands, including Born, Spring Step, JP Originals, New Balance, Caterpillar, Sketchers and Steve Madden, among countless others, and more than 1,000 different styles to choose from, Heel and Sole is recognized as the destination for shoes in the North State. From the high end to the low end, from sandals to boots and everything in between, Heel and Sole is filled from floor to ceiling with shoes. “As long as you are not claustrophobic, you’re good,” Stuelpnagel says with a laugh. “We try to have something for all of the people who walk through these doors. In the city, shoe stores can specialize. We don’t specialize as much because we are catering to such a large group of people.”

Staying abreast of the latest style trends is no easy win. Stuelpnagel admits that he gets by with a little help from his friends, and that a bit of listening goes a long way. “I usually do a little research. I have a lot of young ladies that work here. I listen to their suggestions. I listen to what my customers ask for. I have my own thoughts. And we go from there. It’s so abstract. You take a good average of what people think, and then, you just go for it. People will let you know if they agree with you or not on a particular style based on whether they buy it or not.” With 16 sweet years in business and counting, Heel and Sole, no doubt, leaves a lasting impression on its patrons. And how could it do anything but, when it brings happiness to the soul, one fabulous pair of shoes at a time? •

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:
ORTHOPEDIC
(Alternative To Joint Replacement Surgery) *Knees *Hips *Shoulders
PULMONARY *COPD *Emphysema *Asthma
NEUROLOGIC

WE ARE NOW PARTICIPATING IN AN IRB APPROVED INVESTIGATION OF CRYOPRESERVED, BANKED AND EXPANDED (STORED) STEM CELLS.

PA R K I N S O N ' S S U P P O R T G R O U P H E L P S FA M I L I E S WHEN PEOPLE THINK of Parkinson’s Disease, they might think of Michael J Fox, the actor from the “Back to the Future” movies. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 and has become a major influence in the fight against Parkinson’s. Most recently, singer-songwriter Neil Diamond was diagnosed. Parkinson’s is a disorder of the central nervous system and is progressive. It can cause sleep disorders, anxiety, fantasizing, communication issues, dementia, instability and more. In April 2017, the U.S. Senate declared April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month. When diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s, it can be difficult to know where to turn for answers. Here in the North State, a support group for those with Parkinson’s and their families has been active for nearly 20 years. The founder, Kim Hawkins, was a wife who wanted to start a support group and approached what is now known as Passages Caregiver Resource Center, a nonprofit organization through Chico State University. Hawkins, a retired nurse, took over its facilitation about five years ago. “I knew nothing about Parkinson's until I started facilitating this
group,” Hawkins says. “I have learned so much from them. Everyone gets a chance to share and ask questions of each other. I feel so blessed to be part of this group and cannot imagine volunteering for a greater group of people.” The group appreciates the support and information that helps them through this difficult time. One participant says, “We have only recently started attending the support group, but every meeting that we have attended has been interesting and informative. We enjoy the encouragement of being in the company of others who also want to have a positive attitude while living with or caring for someone with this life-changing disease. We especially appreciate the volunteers and professional staff who so efficiently provide this program for Redding and surrounding areas.” Last year, the group became an affiliate of the Parkinson Association of Northern California, a nonprofit organization based out of Sacramento. The group meets monthly at First United Methodist Church off East Street in Redding (though there will not be an April meeting).4 continued on page 64

Speech and Language Pathologist and Owner of Shasta Speech, Susan Whitaker is doing “Shasta Shout”
Speakers have included primary physicians, nutritionists, speech therapists and physical therapists. The group works closely with others in the community who help people with Parkinson’s: Shasta Speech, The Rose Center for physical therapy, Vibra Outpatient Therapy and Rock Steady Boxing, which offers a program specifically for people with Parkinson’s. This year, the annual Parkinson’s Conference will be May 11 at First United Methodist Church. The free event includes informational tables and talks by a number of medical professionals. A Parkinson’s diagnosis can leave patients and families with many unanswered questions and fears. The Parkinson’s group helps with the loneliness, desperation and loss of hope many feel when diagnosed. The support provides a sense of belonging alongside caring people who have a common bond. • www.parkinsonsacramento.org Register by May 4 at www.panctoday.org or (916) 357-6641

FIDDLE ME THIS BILLY AND PATRICK
BY BILLY PILGRIM
A C O N V E R S AT I O N W I T H S C OT T J O S S
“Be honest about what you say and what you play. Don’t be something you’re not. Don’t be a phony.” THE FIRST TIME I saw Scott Joss was at a Merle Haggard concert in Redding in 2003. I recall being struck by his imposing stage presence. He was tall, exuded great confidence, played fiddle, and was sporting a very tall pompadour. There was quite the murmur in the crowd that night. “Who the heck is that guy?” Listeners were asking us the same question the morning after the show. It didn’t take long to find out that Merle Haggard’s new fiddle player was Redding’s own Scott Joss, recently of Dwight Yoakam’s band, and glad to be working with Merle again. I caught up with Scott recently just prior to his benefit concert at Old City Hall in Redding. BILLY: Scott, I hear you have some new music coming out. SCOTT: Yes, I do! I have been recording with Bruce Turgon at After Hours Recorders here in Redding. It should be ready in June and available on Miracle Mile Records, YouTube and Pandora. I am really looking forward to it. BILLY: Do you remember the first time you heard yourself on the radio? SCOTT: I do! It was the song “I Sang Dixie” from Dwight Yoakam’s “Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room.” I was living in Sacramento in a little apartment. I was excited, but I had heard the song on playback so many times in the recording studio that it didn’t hit me too hard. My friends were so excited! Probably more than I was. BILLY: Other than Merle Haggard, who is the most interesting person you have ever met? I know you have met a lot of people, including Bob Dylan. SCOTT: There was no one more interesting than Merle Haggard. Absolutely nobody. And I really miss him. I miss him every day. BILLY: What’s the best advice Merle ever gave you? SCOTT: He gave this advice to the world, and to me personally. He said, “Be honest about what you say and what you play. Don’t be something you’re not. Don’t be a phony.” Merle was as real as a human being can be.
BILLY: How have you survived the touring, the rock and roll lifestyle, managed to keep healthy, and stay together with Judy for so many years? SCOTT: Well, I’m from Redding, and when I grew up here, we had special values - my parents instilled them in me. My parents taught me so much. Judy is such a wonderful person, and I promised her and myself that I would be loyal and real. Those are my Redding values. I have also tried to stay healthy by keeping in shape through walking. Judy and I walk together. We enjoy the Sacramento River Trail. I have kept track of my walking since I started and just reached the 17,000-mile mark. That’s a lot of walking! BILLY: What’s in the future for you? Do you have any plans to tour? SCOTT: I am very excited to be touring with Kris Kristofferson this summer. Kris is such a good guy, and one of America’s greatest songwriters. We are going back East for a few dates, and then on to Europe. It’s going to be fun. BILLY: I had a tuna sandwich with Kris Kristofferson once. SCOTT: I love that story. Catch Scott Joss and his group of musician friends the next time he is playing near you. He has played with so many of the giants of music, and he’s a great front man and band leader himself. It’s an honor to know him. Scott and Judy Joss live in Redding. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16. He is married, has three children, and contributes his energy and time to Redding Recreation. You can hear him on the Billy and Patrick Show weekday mornings on Q97.

1. Cut your leather straps 8 to 10 inches long, depending on how low you want your hooks to hang from your dowel.
4. On the bottom holes of the strap, push your grommet in place and hammer until it is secure. Repeat steps above until you have the number of straps that you want (we did 8, for 6 hooks). Leave two straps with only top holes; these will be your end straps.
2. Punch holes in the straps, on the top of each side of the leather. Punch the bottom holes by folding the strap in half and punching a hole a quarterinch up from the bottom. Make sure your hole goes all the way through.
3. Keeping the strap folded in half, screw the metal rivets into the top hole of the strap so the top is the ends of your cut leather.
5. Glide your straps on to the dowel, making sure the two top hole straps are on the end.
6. Put the S-hooks on the grommets, hang your accessories and enjoy!

and salsa. Alongside them will be local cooks, many of whom fancy themselves professionals, vying for people’s favorite awards. Bribes are frequently offered by those seeking coveted voting tickets. Election years tend to draw out contestants, with those seeking visibility for their campaigns putting on aprons and getting serious about their chili recipes. The public is invited to sample from all cooks, with the $5 tasting kit supporting local scholarships through Red Bluff Rotary. A car show complements the food booths and other vendors. On Tuesday, April 17 at noon, the party moves to the Tehama District Fairgrounds for the Think Pink Luncheon sponsored by the Red Bluff Rotary. “It’s just a great event that I’m really proud to be part of, especially as a breast cancer survivor,” says Vicki Stroud, Rotarian and director of the Red Bluff - Tehama County Chamber of Commerce. Originally set at the Growney Ranch, the tri-tip lunch and auction with live music has outgrown the venue and had to move to the fairgrounds. Proceeds from the event benefit the quest for St. Elizabeth Hospital to obtain a 3D mammography machine. World Champion Barrel Racer Nellie Miller has donated an autographed clothing item for the auction. Things get a little less altruistic a few nights later when the PRCA cowboys come to town and mingle with the locals at the Cowboy Mixer held at Reynolds Ranch and Farm Supply. Straw bales are set out for seating, but most eventually find themselves on the dance floor. The Tehama County Cattle Women cook up steak fajita wraps which can be held in one hand while a drink is held in the other. While most events in the 11-day lineup are family friendly, this is not. The party starts at 5:30pm. Entrance badges are available in advance at The Loft, Palomino Room and Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce.4 continued on page 78

And they call the thing rodeo
The next morning, cowboys and gentlemen, along with their female counterparts, find their way to Wilcox Golf Course for the Cowboy Golf Tournament sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. PRCA cowboys register for free and are assigned to community teams of four. Registration forms are available online at www.redbluffchamber.com. A shotgun start sets clubs in motion at 9am on Friday, April 20. This year’s Round-Up parade celebrates the Home Town Champions along Main Street, and honors Nellie Miller as Grand Marshal. The Red Bluff Round-Up itself has been inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, along with local bull fighter Joe Baumgartner. Famed bucking bull Red Rock was inducted in 1979, owned by Growney Brothers Rodeo Company of Red Bluff. The public is invited to bring lawn chairs for the parade, which gathers a crowd throughout downtown and begins at 10am. Fill up on pancakes at the Elks Lodge beforehand for an annual breakfast hosted by the Red Bluff Kiwanis Club starting at 7am. Finally, for those interested in rodeo itself, regular events are held Friday, April 19 at 7pm, Saturday, April 20 at 2:30pm and Sunday, April 21 at 1:30pm at the Tehama District Fairgrounds. Nashville recording artists Chris Lane and Morgan Wallen perform at 6:30pm on Saturday night at the fairgrounds. Events often sell out, so advance purchase is recommended. Everyone’s a cowboy in Red Bluff during the Eleven Days of Round-Up, so shine up your boots and join the community in a fun-filled line up of activity. • www.redbluffchamber.com • www.redbluffroundup.com

barrel of fun WO R L D C H A M P I O N B A R R E L R AC E R N E L L I E M I L L E R IT’S WHEN NELLIE MILLER’S young daughters are with her on her parents’ Cottonwood ranch helping her care for horses that she fully embodies the reason three generations of her family have committed to life in rodeo. “It’s a great way to live and a great way to grow up,” says the 2017 World Champion barrel racer. When Nellie and daughters Payton, 5, and Hadley, 2, are feeding, grooming and training with the family of quarter horses that have taken Miller to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas twice, she knows she is passing along a work ethic and values that have been handed down by her parents, Sam and Roxy Williams. “They’re outside a lot,” she says. “They’re always watching.” In early December last year, it seemed the whole town of Cottonwood and much of the North State rodeo
community had their eyes on 29-year-old Miller. It was the hometown girl’s second advancement to the National Finals Rodeo, and much had transpired since her first competition there in 2010. She’d gotten married to James Miller, had two children, and completed a college degree at Simpson University. By the time Hadley was just a few months old, Sister, the half-sibling of Blue Duck, the horse she’d ridden in 2010, was ready to help her get back to professional barrel racing. “I rode her mom when I was in high school rodeo. We raised her from the very beginning and my dad trained her,” says Miller. “We’ve been the only ones to ride her.” Of her dad’s horse training skills, she says, “He’s constantly reading and trying to learn about it, which is important. But I think he’s just a natural, as well.”4 continued on page 82 APRIL 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

To qualify for the chance to compete for World Champion in 2017, Miller competed in 47 rodeos, taking first at Reno Rodeo and placing high at the Calgary Stampede, which secured her place among the top competitors. Her hard work and success were recognized in Cottonwood with a big celebration dinner for her at the community center not long after she arrived home from Las Vegas last December. “It was really fun,” she says, “and nice to be recognized like that.” Proceeds from the event will pay for signs at both ends of town acknowledging Cottonwood as the home of a World Champion Barrel Racer. The 2018 rodeo season is already underway, and Miller set out for Texas mid-February to compete for about a month. California rodeos
get underway this month, with the Red Bluff Round-Up being the big hometown rodeo that holds a special place in her heart. Husband James is the Round-Up’s General Manager and she’s been competing on the grounds since high school. She’ll also be at the Redding Rodeo in May. “They’re hometown rodeos that are too big for us to miss,” she says. They’re big events for the North State as well, made all the more fun with a hometown competitor finding world champion success. • Melissa Mendonca is a graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities.

WHAT’S COOKIN’
| BY LANA GRANFORS | PHOTOS: KARA STEWART
recipe APRIL 2018
COWBOY BEANS SERVES 4-6 It’s almost Rodeo Week in Red Bluff and Redding… when everyone is a cowboy! To celebrate, cowboys like a great barbecue. And what is a barbecue without hearty Cowboy Beans? You can’t go wrong with these! This recipe calls for dried beans, and if you have never cooked with them, please give this recipe a try. Dried beans are also economical and you might find that they really taste better than canned. They do take time to cook, but the payoff will be flavorful beans of tender perfection. But if you don’t have time, I have provided a canned bean option following this recipe. INGREDIENTS: 1 1 lb. package of dried Pinto Beans 1 lb. ground beef 1 lb. bacon, diced 1 medium onion, diced 1 jalapeno, diced 1 T minced garlic 7 cups water 1 cup ketchup 3⁄4 cup brown sugar 1 T Worcestershire 1 T Liquid Smoke 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. pepper

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Rinse and sort the dried beans, discarding any small stones. (Yes, some bags of dried beans contain missed stones.) Place in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. STEP 2: Heat a 5-quart dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and brown, crumbling as it cooks, approximately 10 minutes. Once beef is browned, remove from the pan and drain any grease. STEP 3: Add bacon to the dutch oven and cook, approximately 10 minutes, until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan. Add the onion and jalapeno to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Return the ground beef and the bacon to the pan. STEP 4: Drain and rinse the soaked beans and add to the pan. Cover with 7 cups of water. STEP 5: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire and liquid smoke in a bowl. Once combined, add the mixture to the meat and beans. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 hour and 30 mins, stirring every 30 minutes. As the beans cook, they will absorb the water. To keep beans moist while cooking, add 1/2 - 1 cup water as needed. Lastly, add and stir in the salt and pepper and cook for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered, again watching that the beans do not dry out.
USING CANNED BEANS Use 2 cans (30 oz.) pinto beans instead of the dried beans. Omit the 7 cups water. DIRECTIONS USING CANNED BEANS STEP 1: Follow directions for cooking the meat and onion mixture up to adding the soaked beans. Drain and rinse the beans and add to the meat and onion mixture, along with 1 cup of water. STEP 2: Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire and liquid smoke in a bowl. Once combined, add to the meat and beans. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 20-30 mins. Beans should be kept moist while cooking, so if needed, add about 1/2 cup water. Lastly, add the pepper and stir to combine. I recommend a taste test here to see you need to add the salt. Salt content of canned beans will vary. Simmer, over low heat, covered for another 10 minutes.

Reach Higher Shasta is putting on the first ever College & Career Signing Day event on Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at the Cascade Theatre. This event will highlight and spotlight a group of high school seniors from Shasta County schools who have made plans to pursue some type of post high school training and/or education. Little is done in the region to recognize plans for continuing education and training for our high school students that is not related to athletics. This event is meant to bring recognition and encouragement to Shasta County students who have made plans to improve their quality of life through college and/or career education. The goals of the event are fourfold: • To make high school students and their families aware of the myriad of opportunities available to them • To demonstrate the willingness of our community to celebrate future plans with students from all high schools, large and small, in our region • To celebrate the diversity of post high school choices being pursued by Shasta County seniors • To inspire underclassmen and their families to put some thought into their own post high school plans In the theater, on the big stage, there will be a program honoring the students, recognizing them and identifying their choice for post high school education/training. There will be a male and a female student chosen to be recognized from each Shasta County high school. Event sponsors include Reach Higher Shasta, Redding Chamber of Commerce, College Options, Shasta EDC and Shasta Builders’ Exchange.

KOOL APRIL NITES is a nonprofit organization that presents a week-long public event for classic car enthusiasts every April. The famous annual car show was launched in 1990 by Tom Parker and Louie Milligan, who had attended a similar event in the Bay Area. A total of 239 cars participated in Redding’s first unofficial cruise, which Louie led from the Convention Center to Gene’s Drive-in on a cool Friday night. Kool April Nites’ 29th annual show is from April 21-29. With the help of volunteers, the organization was able to give back nearly $50,000 last year to local community groups that support education and youth. Those groups included One SAFE Place, Kids Unlimited, Wings of Angels, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, several local high schools and many more.
