When it comes to cancer, knowing your risk makes all the difference. Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer, is the third most common type of cancer in both men and women. Regular screening makes early detection, and in some cases even prevention, possible. Understanding your unique risk factors is a great way to learn how to lower your risk for the disease.

people are not up-to-date with colorectal cancer screening.
Lack of exercise, obesity, and smoking are all risk factors for colon cancer.

editor’s note june 2019
WE’RE SAVORING THE FLAVOR of sweet summertime – this issue of Enjoy is sure to get your tastebuds tingling. Few things are more refreshing than biting into a perfectly ripe piece of fresh fruit on a sweltering day, and R&K Orchards in Corning has been satisfying that craving for more than 100 years. Treat yourself to a basket of nectarines, peaches, apricots and more, either from the fruit stand or from a local farmers market. Love food trucks? Let’s taco ‘bout it! We met up with a few folks who are serving up terrific tacos in the Chico area that you might like to check out. If you’re into catching your own food, meet the HarvestWild team, which teaches people how to reconnect with the outdoors and discover the joy of gathering and preparing wild foods. The next generation of chefs are under development right here in the North State, thanks to the Chef Prep and Hospitality class at Enterprise High School. Science, entrepreneurship, creativity and critical thinking are on the menu in this career technical education course. And healthy foods aren’t just for eating – they can become an integral part of your beauty routine, too. We’ll show you where to find effective skin care products and more, right in your own refrigerator. Once your belly is full, feed your soul with a night at the theater. The effervescent John Truitt directs “Mamma Mia” at the Cascade Theatre this month, and if history is any indication, it will be a can’t-miss event. June is the month when we honor the delightful dads in our lives, and we’ll introduce you to Brody Angley, a new dad who is passing along life lessons that were ingrained by his beloved late father, Jamie. Their motto is “Enjoy the Journey” – a concept we are embracing wholeheartedly. Cheers to our local dads and grads, and enjoy!

my town KORY HAYDEN, ETNA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: BOUNTIFUL I went from elementary school through high school in Etna. I had a gentle appaloosa horse who carried me everywhere and I drove a 1972 Cutlass Oldsmobile to high school. I left to attend Saint Mary’s College of California in Moraga, which had cows in the hills too. I found pockets in the Bay Area with that same hometown feel - Mt. Tamalpais filled in for the Russian Wilderness. Winters and Clayton offered small-town charm. When life brought me back to Etna, it was still special—farmers talked over coffee, the May and July rodeo were longtime signature events, but many of the restaurants had closed and gatherings were not in town anymore. This is when a group of energized citizens sparked a series of community gatherings, with the intention to bring people out of their houses. It started with the Etna Farmers Market, then other events followed. Now we have a successful film and music festival, several new businesses and a bustling Main Street where our community wants to spend time. Our shops work together to support annual events each year and PCT hikers say that Etna is one of their favorite towns to visit. Etna is a real town. We have a hardware store, a bakery, two novelty shops (where you can get really neat things)—we even have a handmade bike manufacturer who is known all over the world. We are home to Aetna Mills flowers, two local breweries and the only craft distillery near I-5, between Sacramento and Oregon. My town is a meaningful community—one of salty character and subsistence. We have bikes, bread, beer and spirits. All we need is now is cheese. Photo by M.C. Hunter Photography

BOTOX & FILLER COSTS
People are often surprised at how affordable Botox and Filler are. We did some research to see what it costs per day to smoke cigarettes or drink coffee vs. Botox and filler costs. Here’s what we found: DAILY COSTS FOR CIGARETTES, COFFEE, BOTOX & FILLER: 1 pack a day: $7 1 latte a day: $4 1 area of Botox: $2 1 area of filler: $2 Basically, if someone drinks a grande latte each day, that costs the same as getting both Botox and filler. If someone is smoking one pack a day, that costs about the same as getting four areas treated with Botox or filler. A two pack a day habit could pay for eight areas treated with Botox or filler. Most of our patients find that brightening their natural beauty is not a financial burden, and well worth their healthy choices.

cook to support local causes and offer catering. The catering raises money for trips. This summer’s excursion is to Spain and Italy, where students will get lessons on paella, paninis and tapas. Students of Enterprise’s program have been accepted at culinary institutes and college hospitality programs, earned scholarships and been hired at restaurants. “I can’t go anywhere in Redding without seeing a student in a restaurant,” Leedy says. In 2018, Leedy was named California ProStart Educator of the Year. “It gave a lot of great exposure for our program here,” he says. This is Leedy’s sixth year at Enterprise. He had a 23-year career in the military, working as a cook in the Navy and Army. He was executive chef at Holiday Inn in Redding, where he worked with students enrolled in ShastaTrinity Regional Occupational Program. Leedy sees a need to reach students early to make them aware of career possibilities in culinary arts and hospitality. Beyond being a chef or line cook, there are jobs in restaurant management, marketing, nutrition, research, food photography and other areas. In the ProStart class, students learn food sanitation and safety protocols, cooking techniques, menu development, restaurant design and how to create a business plan. The class is infused with the job skills of teamwork, time management and communication. “Our focus is on career,” Leedy says. The program articulates with Shasta College’s culinary program – students who enroll at Shasta College receive college credit for it. The class satisfies the University of California admission requirements for a high school elective. There are elements of math (measurements, conversions, budgeting) and science (nutrition, microbiology of food spoilage, effects of different types of heat on foods, etc.).

Through the class, students can earn certificates that help in landing a food service job, bypassing introductory college classes and obtaining scholarships. Leedy enjoys being a mentor to the students. The biggest reward, he says, is “seeing their eyes open – when things click and they get it.” “It’s a lot different than I thought it would be,” junior Conner Miller says. “I’ve been able to learn a lot of facts I didn’t know about food.” He hadn’t considered a culinary career prior to the class but says it’s now one of his options, along with firefighting and welding. Senior Parteek Basanti says the class is something he looks forward to. “I enjoy it. I love the days we cook.” Senior David Tunin notes there’s a sense of satisfaction that comes with cooking. He recalls the first recipe – beef stew. “I felt very proud. It was the finest dish I had made. It looked nice and it tasted nice.” Gloria Lopez, another senior, enjoys learning basics, like different knife cuts and the timing of adding ingredients. “There are lots of steps.” In college, she’ll study cinematography but she expects to put her culinary skills to use. “I’ll be ready to cook for myself.” Wyatt Bullen, a senior headed to Chico State University to pursue civil engineering, echoes that sentiment. “When I start living on my own, I’ll know how to cook something more than Top Ramen.” •

Tried Truitt AND
H E R E H E G O E S AG A I N — J O H N T R U I T T D I R E C T S M A M M A M I A AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E
HAVING DIRECTED more than 30 plays, gaining credit for both his onstage and offstage talents, John Truitt is a staple to the North State theatre community. His most recent project is directing “Mamma Mia” at the Cascade Theatre. “The younger cast members think I have been here since dinosaurs roamed the earth,” he jokes. His interest in theatre began at an early age; his draw toward acting did not come from a desire for fame or name recognition, but rather a desire to connect with others. “When I was younger, I thought it was a great way to meet people,” Truitt shares. “Now I recognize it’s a fantastic way to communicate and share joy with people.” One might think sharing joy with others as a core reason behind Truitt’s choice for directing a fun, upbeat show like “Mamma Mia,” but in truth he didn’t choose it. “‘Mamma Mia’ chose me,” he says. “When I was asked if I would be interested in directing ‘Mamma Mia’ I wasn’t all that familiar with the show – but people love ABBA music, so I had to give it a look.”
It wasn’t until after reading the script that he knew the production would make the perfect summer show for Northern California audiences. “And it gives such a great opportunity to feature some really talented performers,” he adds. As director, he enjoys watching cast members develop and become more confident in themselves. “Our performers work hard to improve themselves every day and they really care about each other. This is a great group of people who encourage one another to be the best they can be,” he says, highlighting both his admiration and appreciation of them. “I love the performers in this production – sometimes I ask them to do things three or four times just because I enjoy watching them so much,” he says with a laugh. “I think it’s important to recognize that all our performers have supportive families, employers and friends that make a production possible – I might not know all those people personally, but I am grateful for them.”4 continued on page 24

Not only does Truitt appreciate his team of performers, he also praises the team behind the performers. “We get to work with incredibly generous and talented music directors and choreographers,” he points out, knowing firsthand the hours of both onstage and offstage practice and collaboration that takes place within any quality production. Directing a play like “Mamma Mia” may sound daunting, but according to Truitt, “When you do something you like, it’s easy to balance your everyday life.” He adds, “My favorite part of a production is hearing an audience react to the performers. I love rehearsals – but the whole point is to let this talented group tell a story to a theater filled with people.” And with a man like Truitt behind the scenes, the show is sure to be exceptional. • “Mamma Mia” June 14-15, 7:30pm; June 20-23, 7:30pm; June 15 and 22, 2pm Cascade Theatre, downtown Redding www.cascadetheatre.org

wild side H A R V E S T W I L D — F I E L D TO TA B L E E AT I N G AARON GRABIEL CAUGHT his first fish at the ripe old age of 30 months and the toddler was hooked. “Every single day he’d ask, ‘Mom, would you take me fishing?’” recalls his mother, Colleen Agresta. “Fortunately, we lived in the country and I was able to take him. He pretty much lived outdoors.” Not much has changed over the intervening years. Grabiel still spends the bulk of his time outdoors, but these days the veteran hunting and fishing guide is working hard to get others out of the house and into the woods or on the water. And not just to hunt or fish: He wants everybody to find their inner hunter-gatherer.
With that mission in mind, Grabiel and his wife, Michelle, formed HarvestWild a year ago. The company’s goal is to help people reconnect with the outdoors and discover the joys of wild foods. Not content to simply guide hunting and fishing trips, the HarvestWild team wants its clients to become comfortable out in nature by honing woodsmanship skills, learning how to gather food (including wild game and fish), how to prepare it and, perhaps most importantly, how to enjoy a fuller life.4 continued on page 28

Michelle Grabiel, who grew up on the outskirts of Redding and shared plenty of hunting and fishing adventures with her father, says she and her husband were concerned a growing number of people were being cut off from outdoor experiences, either because of a lack of confidence or simply a lack of opportunity. “We started HarvestWild with the goal of getting more people in the outdoors, so they wouldn’t feel intimidated or that they couldn’t do it,” she says. Grabiel approaches the venture more as a hunter and angler who developed a keen interest in foraging. At the end of the day, he reasons, hunters and gatherers are both after natural, unprocessed foods, so why not merge both schools of thought and bring them together under one roof ? For the gathering piece of the equation, the Grabiels brought on Wolfgang “Wolfy” Rougle, a botanist and wild food educator who enjoys taking people out for walks, in town or out in the woods, and identifying edible plants. “There’s a profound dimension to knowing what’s out there,” Rougle says. For hunters, an understanding of the plants around you helps you understand what the animals do and how they move, she says. “No culture on Earth hasn’t foraged for wild greens and made that a part of their diet,” Rougle says. “Getting to know even one or two species of a plant and going from there – when it grows, where it grows, the uses for it – will deepen your understanding of where you live.” To illustrate her point, Rougle notes that the mullein plant, with its tall, spiky yellow flowers, makes a tea that can soothe throats ravaged by smoke during the wildfire season. Curly Dock, another invasive weed, offers a pleasant lemony flavor when steamed, she adds.4 continued on page 30
“No culture on Earth hasn’t foraged for wild greens and made that a part of their diet,” Rougle says. “Getting to know even one or two species of a plant and going from there— when it grows, where it grows, the uses for it—will deepen your understanding of where you live.”

Grabiel, who calls Rougle “an incredible resource,” says her foraging skills mesh well with those who enjoy harvesting wild game. Rougle agrees: “People who are into hunting and fishing tend to have a pretty good respect for the wild. They understand intuitively that we were meant to be in a relationship with other living things, including the plants. They all have something to teach us. We all want everyone involved in the natural world and feeling they’re a part of it, because we are.” Once the flora and fauna are in hand, HarvestWild offers expert cooking tips from Manlio Melloni, a Costa Ricaborn chef who studied at Le Cordon Bleu and has worked at restaurants in Florida. “He’s an incredible cook. He has that Costa Rican influence and he’s been a chef in the states, on yachts … he
just goes from place to place, getting food from local markets. He’s got that creative edge and enjoys cooking in harmony with the seasons,” Grabiel says. HarvestWild seeks a return to old-fashioned cooking that can transform free-range, wild-caught game into dishes that even the most hesitant of palates can embrace. “Have you ever wondered how to cook a meal with venison that your in-laws would like?” asks Grabiel. HarvestWild offers a variety of clinics and guided outings that pair hunting (blacktail deer, wild pigs, turkey and ducks) or fishing (both fly fishing and gear fishing for trout, steelhead, salmon and bass) with foraging and cooking. Michelle Grabiel says educational programs and how-to videos on topics ranging from hunter safety to interpreting maps are in the works. “There’s so much more. We’ve got so

Picked R&K ORCHARDS IN CORNING BITING INTO a fresh peach can result in lip-smacking juices cascading down your chin. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. The result is sticky hands and a mouthful of perfection. Summers in the North State can be hot, but along with the heat comes the summer harvest. Fruits and vegetables provide a refreshing taste of summer. The summer ushers in nectarines, peaches, plums, apricots and so much more. Robert and Karen Mills own The R&K Orchards in Corning, and their family has more than a 100-year history in farming. The nectarines, peaches and apricots are just a hint of the seasonal stone fruits that R&K Orchards offers from May through August.4 continued on page 34

Robert Mills’ great-grandparents purchased approximately 300 acres west of Corning in 1918, where they raised cattle and sheep and grew hay and wheat. Fruit trees were added along both sides of the creek’s banks. A loan from a family member “provided the funding to build a twostory red barn to house hay and the animals,” says Stella Mills Davis. The barn is still intact, having survived severe floods and storms throughout the years. The family remained working the orchard and it was passed down generation after generation. In 1960, the family sold the land.

In 1994, Robert Mills II bought 45 acres of the property, and the following year he purchased another 10 acres adjoining the property with his new bride, Karen. Mills began to replant and install a new irrigation system so the orchard could be irrigated from an agricultural well. In the spring of 1995, the Mills replanted the majority of cherry trees. The trees thrived, and they planted another section with a variety of stone fruit trees. Peaches, apricots, nectarines and cherries fill the orchards with colors and an anticipation of flavor. Mills bought the last 10 acres complete with a new home, barn and ag well in 1998. When harvest time approached, Robert’s step-grandfather, Junior Duncan, invented the bin carrier to increase efficiency of the harvest. The carrier provided a way to move heavy fruit boxes quickly and cut down the time it takes to harvest. The carrier has been improved throughout the years. The orchard took years to name, as they could not decide between Two Palms or Jams. The two palms that grow on the property seemed to be an ideal name, but Jams represented all the children and Mills’ niece: Joseph, Amber, Marissa and Stephanie. Mills made the executive decision to name it R&K after Robert and Karen. R&K started with a small fruit stand which provided for the locals. It grew quickly, much to their surprise. They started selling at the fruit stand at Robert’s 4 continued on page 36

grandmother’s house for two years. At the time, little attention was focused on fresh fruit sales, but instead on drying the stone fruit for sales throughout the year. The Millses began selling fresh fruit off I-5 and Corning Road, and construction of an agricultural shop, designed to be the fruit stand, was soon underway. The stand would be close to the orchard and have freeway access to attract customers. The orchard continued to grow, and as production increased, the Mills discussed the expansion. They started to attend the Red Bluff Farmers Market on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Soon, they were certified to sell at the farmers markets in Tehama County. The expansion continued with the Mills becoming members of the Shasta Growers Association.

PALATE PLEASERS TRY A NEW FOOD THIS SUMMER ASK PEOPLE what foods they associate with summer, and you’ll get some very familiar answers. Fresh, deep red, perfectly ripe strawberries. Watermelon so juicy it drips down your chin. Peaches or nectarines so plump they burst with that first bite. The biggest, sweetest tomatoes you’ve ever seen. And local cherries so good you just keep eating until you get a stomachache. Now that’s summer! Those are the typical responses, so this year, let’s add to the list with some choices that may not pop into your mind right off the bat. Let’s talk figs. Some of you grew up with these sweet treats, but other than a Fig Newton, I had never tasted a fig in any other capacity until I was well into adulthood. Depending on the variety, and several of them are grown in Northern California, figs start being harvested in June and continue all summer. Figs in salads continue to grow in popularity, as do fig cookies and other baked goods. Of course, they go extremely well with cheese and nuts if you’re entertaining, and with melon and prosciutto. Never tasted one? Let this summer be the season you give figs a shot. Homegrown basil is super versatile. Grow it from seed, or buy a plant at your local nursery or grocery store. Make your own fresh pesto – it’s so much better than store bought, and it’s so easy. Basil’s also great for that Caprese tomato salad or a sliced pizza topping after the pie comes out of the oven. When you’ve given up on the plant or you realize you forgot to water it, you can chop the dry
leaves for seasoning to use off-season. Having that fresh basil at hand should give you the impetus to keep that plant alive year-round. Starfruit is something you now see regularly at the grocery store, but most people don’t know how to prepare it. It’s pretty simple: You cut off the vertical brown edges, then cut off the ends, slice thinly and remove the seeds. They are delicious on their own, perfect for salads and even better for mixed drinks. Let’s all dip into the starfruit pond together this summer! Those choices aren’t wild and crazy, but they may get you started on broadening that palate. If you see something new and different at the farmers market or grocery store this month, grab a few and embrace the summer foodie adventure. There’s enough of the season to go around, so make a promise to enjoy your favorites AND try something new this summer. •

STARTING IN ONTARIO, she traveled with her 3-yearold son by steamer, muleback and stagecoach to Red Bluff, then over the Trinity Mountains on horseback over roads that were barely roads, eventually settling with her husband Alexander Walker and her small boy, Robert, in the Scott Valley near Yreka in the early 1860s. It was a life of hard work, hardship, hope and tragedy, those early days eking out a living on a 350-acre ranch. Somehow Janet Sutherland Walker survived it all, including the suicide (some say it was murder) of her husband, and the deaths of her two daughters from scarlet fever. She later married Charles Marsac, the man she hired to work on the ranch after her first husband died. Janet and Alexander Walker were my great-great grandparents. Their ranch, now run as a dairy, will be featured on a tour of historic Scott Valley ranches on June 15. It’s a fundraiser for the local chapter of the Native Daughters of The Golden West. The other ranch on the tour, the Fowle Ranch just a few miles down the road, was an early-day hotel and stagecoach stop. The stories that have come down to us from those early pioneer days – and you’ll likely hear quite a few of them on the tour – tend to be about the drama of life back then, the hardships and the tragedies, not the humdrum everyday aspects of ranch life. True, it was a different sort of life back then, rawer and rougher and closer to nature. There’s the story of the two young boys, Robert and James, my great-uncle and great-grandfather, riding five miles on horseback to the little log cabin school at Crystal Creek, sometimes in near-zero temperatures. Or, later in his life, the wrestling match my great-grandfather had with a neighbor to determine who got the best of a property line dispute (he won). On the Fowle Ranch, they still tell of the stagecoach driver who with his team rolled over an embankment and drowned in an irrigation ditch. 4 continued on page 42 Old farming building in the Scott Valley - photo by Tim Holt

Alongside the Walker Ranch was the Gorman Ranch, where the two bachelor brothers, Joseph and Ed, farmed with mules and horses until the 1960s. Both these ranches are now owned by Charlie and Marlene Martin, who with their son Connor run a sizeable dairy operation and some beef cattle. Charlie’s family has been operating the dairy since 1954. He can tell you a few stories himself about life on the ranch – about the floods of 1955, for example, when the raw milk had to be rowed part of the way to the creamery in Grenada. Melanie Fowle of the 490-acre Fowle Ranch is one of the reigning queens of cattle ranching, with a resume that’s mind-boggling: former president of Siskiyou County CattleWomen, former president of California CattleWomen, former president of American National CattleWomen, former president of American Hereford Women. “I’ve spent my life promoting beef,” she says in what is something of an understatement. Fowle’s son Jeff and her daughter-in-law Erin have taken over running the ranch, but Melanie still devotes some of her time to educating young people in “where their food comes from.” She goes to schools in the Scott Valley and Yreka, talking to students about how farming and ranching are done in the modern age. Every other year, she leads a caravan of three pickup trucks to the Gordon Lau Elementary School in San Francisco. The pickups are hauling sheep, goats, calves, chickens and rabbits so the kids can get some James A. and Robert M. Walker Janet Southerland-Walker-Marsac hands-on experience with farm animals. (She and her cohorts at first tried hauling full-size cows and draft horses in, but that proved to be too cumbersome.) Participants in the Historic Ranch Tour will get a glimpse of ranch life in the Scott Valley, past and present. •

STEM CELLS ... OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM 0816-03253
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.

GET COOKIN’ SIZZLE’S COMMERCIAL K I TC H E N A N D E V E N T S PAC E I N D OW N TOW N R E D D I N G
HAVE YOU EVER dreamed of having a huge, beautiful kitchen where you could cook, bake and create to your heart’s content? So did Karen Christensen - and she knew she wasn’t the only one, so she turned her dream into a business. Sizzle’s Kitchen in The Atrium downtown rents certified kitchens to Northern California businesses and organizations that produce food for commercial events or for sale to the public. Event space is also available for wedding receptions, birthday parties, cooking classes, ladies-night-out dinner parties, business meetings and more. It can be rented with or without a kitchen. “I’d been looking for a place like this for years,” Christensen explains. “I’m a baker and I like to make things. There were times when I wanted to have a party or family reunion, but I like to cook and my friends like to cook, and there wasn’t a place that made it easy to do that.” And with retirement from her full-time job on the horizon, “I wanted something that would feed my soul.” So she teamed up with her brother, Erik, who was the workhorse who “built the walls and put the stainless up and painted - he’s so amazing, and I could not have done this without him,” Christensen says. They opened in March 2018.4 continued on page 46 JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Two of the four kitchens are connected to the event space. Kitchen 1 is a large galley kitchen that includes a full-sized grill, six-burner Vulcan range, convection oven, warming oven, reach-in refrigerator, stainless steel counter space and small appliances. Kitchen 2 is a bakers’ kitchen that includes a convection oven, reach-in refrigerator, cooling rack, stainless steel counter space, induction cooktops and small appliances. Kitchen 3 includes a large range with double ovens, counter space and access to a walk-in cooler, which Kitchen 4 is a prep kitchen that’s ideal for cold, raw and fermented products. It includes prep tables, a sink and access to the walk-in refrigerator. Kitchens may be rented by the hour, day, week, month or on a contract basis. Dry food and cold food storage is also available. The event space is what old-school North State folks know as the dining area from “the old Leatherby’s” - and that’s exactly how Christensen remembers it. “I had ice cream here all the time and I loved it here,” she says. “I was looking for something much smaller than this, but this is so much better, so much bigger. It all came together when this place was available.” Furnari Sausages and Shasta Kombucha had been using the space for years, and both remained Christensen’s customers. Other regulars include Lunch Box Redding, Dip Delish, a dog treat creator, a baker, a toothpaste maker and more. Several food trucks use the space as their commissary kitchen. “There’s lots of diversity here,” she says. The event space also works well for cooking lessons, as the large counters make it easy for people to see what the instructor is doing in the kitchen. And Christensen has big plans for the future. She envisions an incubator program to help people who have a food idea that they want to launch, like cheesecakes or jellies, she says. She’ll show them how to create the product, and also how to do branding, marketing and get it to market. She’s in preliminary talks with her neighbors in the Women’s Business Center to get that rolling. “So many young people are coming to me saying, ‘I have this business idea,’ but getting them through the first few steps of working in a commercial kitchen is new to them,” Christensen says. She plans to open a retail market and makers’ market, Sizzle’s Top Shelf, adjacent to her kitchens where those products could be sold. She’s also eager to partner with downtown groups and do her part to revitalize the area. This line of work is right in her wheelhouse, she says, as she’s always had jobs that have involved analysis or organization. And she’s especially loving the opportunity to serve as a mentor for budding entrepreneurs. “That’s one of the things I really enjoy, seeing a young group taking a chance and saying ‘I think I can do this,’ and watching them go beyond what they expected they could do,” Christensen says. “If someone has an idea of something to make and don’t know how, reach out. I love the mentoring part of this. It’s so fun and rewarding for me.” • Sizzle’s Kitchen • 1440 Placer St., Redding (530) 255-8744 • www.sizzleskitchen.com

Beauty Gets Back to Nature
BEAUT Y BRANDS A R E TA K I N G A C U E F R O M T H E K I TC H E N YOU’VE HEARD the saying, “You are what you eat”? Well, it couldn’t be more true. These days, many of the most effective beauty products can be found in your very own kitchen. So clean out those cupboards, pillage that pantry and ransack the refrigerator – you have everything you need for a spring beauty routine. Boost your glow with fruit. Beauty brands are taking a page from the wellness world and incorporating superfoods like berries, watermelon and grapefruit into skin-care products. Some fruits contain vitamins and nutrients that can help brighten and hydrate skin, as well as fight signs of aging. Blueberries are a stellar source of antioxidants, which neutralize skin-damaging free radicals; watermelon, comprised of 92 percent water, plumps and smoothes skin; papaya is a natural enzyme; and the size, shape and texture of the kiwi seed makes it the ideal ingredient for gentle exfoliation. Lemons are natural bacteria fighters and can help clear acne. Lemon can be found in soothing muscle gels, eye creams and cuticle cream, to name a few. Lemon is best known for its ability to cleanse toxins from the body and it is widely used to rejuvenate energy 4 continued on page 52

GRAPEFRUIT, THOUGH, IS THE REAL POWER PLAYER
IF EVER THERE WERE A BEAUTY CURE-ALL, IT’S COCONUT OIL.
and purify skin (Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, $6). Grapefruit, though, is the real power player: this zingy fruit enlivens body scrubs, suds and creams. Find pink grapefruit in items such as sugar scrubs (Merle Norman, $22.50), dark spot correctors (Yes To Grapefruit Dark Spot Correcting Body Crème, $10), bubble bath (Thymes Agave Nectar Bubble Bath, $21) and vitamin C booster (Yes To Grapefruit Glow-Enhancing Vitamin C Booster, $12.99). So grab your produce bags and hit the grocery store – most of these fruits are in season and easy to find. Coffee helps get many of us out of bed every morning, but did you know that caffeine could also wake up your beauty routine? Coffee and its seed oil are antioxidant-rich and encourage collagen production. Bobbi Brown Skin Nourish Face Mask ($47) works to instantly plump the appearance of skin and soothes irritation with caffeine and algae extract. Caffeine also assists in encouraging circulation in delicate undereye skin, so look for it in your eye cream ingredients. For lips, try finely ground coffee and coffee seed oil to bust flaky skin and stimulate blood flow. Need an afternoon energy boost? Reach for Origins GinZing Energy-Treatment Lotion Mist ($21). Stash this bottle of face mist at your desk. The citrusy blend, infused with coffee extract, is great for a midday pick-me-up with just a spritz or two, but also works equally well to refresh makeup and skin before heading out after a tough day at the office. And while we all know that you can’t just wash cellulite away, Wash With Joe Invigorating Body Wash with caffeine has an energizing spiciness to help with an otherwise ho-hum morning routine. Crazy about coconut oil? Welcome to the club. If ever there were a beauty cure-all, it’s coconut oil. Overall, it brings a wealth of revitalizing potential to the beauty table. Uses for beauty abound inside each jar of the sweet-smelling oil. It’s a jack-of-all-trades people have used for breath freshener, makeup brush cleaner, hair mask, homemade lip scrub and much more. You can use it for everything from healing scars to moisturizing dry knees. Try Kopari Coconut Oil Deodorant. An Allure Best of Beauty winner 2018, it’s aluminum free and doesn’t get sticky ($14). Bath and Body Works Waikiki Beach Coconut Shimmer Body Oil ($18.50) is a warm, islandy blend of beach coconut, pink passionflower, saltwater breeze and sun-bleached woods. Pass the daiquiris! And don’t forget the California staple: avocado. There’s a reason avocado oil should have a place in your beauty regimen. Avocados are high in oleic acid, a fatty acid that aids in maintaining moisture in the skin. They also help regenerate damaged cells and reduce facial redness and irritation. Our favorite snack has even more benefits – they’re high in Vitamin K, great for micro blood circulation, and Vitamins C & E, which condition and moisturize the skin. Try Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, $47. The bottom line is this: Natural and clean is the way to go, in cooking and in beauty. Gone are the lists of unpronounceable words and unknown ingredients – the closer you are to nature, the better. Eat foods rich in vitamins and nutrients and be sure to hydrate. Your face (and body) will thank you. • Melissa Gulden is a Redding native who is celebrating her 12th year writing for Enjoy magazine.

THE JO URN EY
B R O DY A N G L E Y H E L P S K I D S D E V E LO P L I F E L E S S O N S L E A R N E D F R O M H I S FAT H E R IN A WORLD OF TIGER MOMS and Helicopter Dads, Jamie Angley was the outlier – the antithesis of a modern sports parent. Angley raised three children along with wife Angelina, including son, Brody, perhaps the greatest athlete to come out of Redding in generations. Throughout Brody’s high school career, Jamie Angley would sit high in the Manatowa Gymnasium bleachers watching his son play. When Brody matriculated to Division I Santa Clara University, the father again took a lofty perch at the Leavey Center. Make no mistake, Jamie was watching as his son excelled on the basketball court and, in high school, on the football field.
But Jamie Angley never bragged, never felt the need to point out the obvious – his son was a special athlete. His observations, critiques and compliments would be saved for a quiet time between father and son. Brody Angley says the talks touched on technique and strategy, but usually centered more often on life lessons from father to son. “We were a sports family,” Brody says, “and he used that to teach us life skills. He was good at tying the two together.” Jamie Angley died in 2007, at the age of 52, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. In the time since his father’s passing, Brody Angley has graduated college, played basketball internationally, gotten married, returned home and become a father himself. 4 continued on page 56 JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
55
Along the way, Brody says, he lived the family’s motto: “Enjoy the Journey.” “The message of ‘Enjoy the Journey’ is really to love whatever is thrown at you,” Brody says. “Goals and dreams and ideals are part of that journey. “Obviously, we all have a finish, but you really have to strive to love the ups and downs along the way.” And as the father of 1-year-old Jamie, Brody says the wisdom of his son’s namesake takes on more importance as he navigates parenthood along with wife Alicia. “He’s my standard,” Brody says. “He was the man I always wanted to be.” As Father’s Day approaches, Brody says, the journey of growing his young family is an extension of lessons learned from his upbringing. “In losing my father, I get to hold on to him,” he says, “through my son and family.” With home base now back in Redding, Brody, Alicia and young Jamie have become fixtures at prep and junior college sporting events. After a recent Shasta College game, where Brody’s nephew Taylor Angley-Holman is an assistant coach for the men’s basketball team, the new father watched as Jamie dribbled a ball around midcourt, all the while encouraging his son in Spanish, a language he picked up from his playing days in Mexico. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want him to pick it up,” Brody says of passing the sports legacy on to his son. “I remember Dad encouraging me and challenging me and motivating me.” And for Brody, the desire to teach goes beyond his son. The
Redding Recreation employee recently began the Enjoy the Journey Project, designed to pass down lessons from both father and son. “I felt like I wanted to do something special to share what I’ve learned with our youth,” Brody says. The ultimate goal, he says, is to target youth development through sports with an international or cultural immersion piece – “to develop something that allows kids to learn the sport and life skills that share my dad’s message and allow me to continue to hold on to it.” He’s already started training athletes and groups and plans the Brody Angley Basketball Camp from July 8-11 at Shasta College. “In all my travels, Redding’s always been home,” he says. “I’ve traveled the world and always felt myself gravitating back here.” As such, he knows the lessons from his father and his own experiences can help some North State boy or girl realize their own journey. “Life is all about relationships,” Brody says, adding that of all the games he’s played, he cherishes the friendships made more than the final scores. “He taught me that.” And it’s something he hopes to pass along to not just his son, but others as well. •

B R EW E R S CO M E TO G E T H E R TO S U P P O RT THE CAMP FIRE RELIEF PROJECTS PEOPLE ARE STILL FEELING the impact of the Camp Fire today, as “tent cities” are still lingering in Chico, Paradise and surrounding areas in Butte County. However, in the months following the fire, those who lost homes are well on their way to getting back on their feet with the help of various agencies and local businesses such as Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. As one of North America’s most well-known breweries, Sierra Nevada is considered by many as the nation’s first craft brewery and helped put Chico on the map. However, based a half-hour away from Paradise, the brewery felt the impact of the Camp Fire as it came within a mile of its flagship location on East 20th Street in Chico and displaced 50 employees. Overall, the Camp Fire burned close to 153,000 acres and 19,000 structures – 13,000 of which were homes – and took 85 lives. Sierra Nevada has always been about conservation, sustainability and community stewardship, and it has great partnerships with other craft breweries. In 2018, when the Tubbs Fire destroyed the Sonoma area, Russian River Brewing Company created a Sonoma Pride beer recipe and fundraiser surrounding it which generated close to $1 million. Thinking that Sierra Nevada would do well with the same kind of promotion following the Camp Fire, the brewery put out a call on social media and founder Ken Grossman sent out letters to fellow breweries, distributors and ingredients suppliers asking for donations in the support of what would be called the Resilience IPA. “Most of the time when there’s a fundraiser, people want to just donate the proceeds, but Ken Grossman wanted 100 percent of everything to go towards this cause,” says Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Content Manager Robin Gregory. While it was challenging asking breweries to cover the cost of labor, asking distributors to carry the beer for free and ingredients suppliers to donate their goods, more than 1,000 partners stepped up. More than 1,400 breweries nationwide (and even ones in the United Kingdom, Guam and New
Zealand) brewed the Resilience IPA on November 27, 2018, officially released on December 20. Some breweries still have it, but since the Schilling Beer Company already secured the trademark on its own Resilience brew, Sierra Nevada’s use of the name expired in early spring. In total, Sierra Nevada should raise about $10 million from the fundraiser. With the donations that came in, Sierra Nevada started the Camp Fire Relief Fund and joined forces with the North Valley Community Foundation and the Aaron Rodgers NorCal Fire Recovery Fund, eventually folding it in with the Butte Strong Fund. The Butte Strong Fund focuses on six areas of work, including housing; children and youth services; health and wellness services; education; community development; and business recovery. Sierra Nevada Brewing is especially interested in distributing funds toward business recovery and housing; one of its first projects was financing a new city planner for Paradise. As for the brewery’s own employees, they are starting to recover, as well. “For our employees and the brewery, it does feel like there’s progress. Our employees have gotten into semi-permanent housing. Sierra Grossman (Ken Grossman’s daughter) is a board member for the Camp Fire Long Term Recovery Group and is very active on that,” Gregory says. “It’s been pretty humbling to see the response from the breweries, distributors and suppliers who literally donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in ingredients. But it’s all the people who bought the beer who really raised the money,” she adds. • www.sierranevada.com/resilience-butte-county-proud-ipa/

Serving Up Kindness T H E R E D D R AG O N R E S TA U R A N T I N W E AV E R V I L L E HE HAD NO IDEA where he was. He only knew that he had been riding the bus and had landed in Weaverville with only a long-sleeved shirt, a backpack and a ukulele. René Wallace was on duty at The Red Dragon that evening, waiting tables in the dining room of the quaint restaurant in the old brick building. She greeted him with a warm smile, and, in a gentle voice, asked the young man, barely 18, where he was traveling from. He had come all the way from his home in the Midwest by bus and was anxious to get to his grandmother’s house in San José. And here he was, stuck overnight, in this place. Wallace, having been raised in Weaverville, knew that a cold October night couldn’t be endured with a mere long-sleeved shirt. She quickly made a call to her husband, asked him to bring the young man a coat and arranged for him to stay overnight at her home. She seated him at a table and quickly disappeared into the kitchen. A few minutes later, she emerged with a hot plate of shrimp fried rice for him, food prepared lovingly by the hands of Von and Thong Duangmalay, the owners of The Red Dragon. Between bites, he quietly strummed his ukulele as two ladies sat at an
adjacent table, admiring the kindness they had just witnessed, tears welling in their eyes. “He ended up staying two nights with us. He sang and played his ukulele. I wish I was still in touch with him. If my kids were out in the cold somewhere, I’d want someone to be kind to them,” says Wallace. “That’s the example we’ve seen here, working with Von and Thong,” she continues, humbly. “On many occasions, someone has come through town that has asked to work here at the restaurant in exchange for food. They always find a way to help. The family is just like that. What I did was by their example.” This is the essence of The Red Dragon Restaurant. The spirit of kindness and family was born more than 25 years ago, back when The Red Dragon was called Hunan’s and was located at the other end of Main Street. At that time, it was owned by Daniel and Sang, family members of the Duangmalays. Daniel and Sang’s children grew up in that restaurant, and the couple employed countless locals through the years, building a legacy of family that extended far past biological connection. 4 continued on page 62 JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
61
Six years ago, when the Duangmalays took over the business, they made a point of treating their employees like family. “They have something made to share with us when we come to work. They have hearts of gold,” says Wallace. The Red Dragon can be counted on for its tried-andtrue menu, which features a diverse range of both Chinese and Thai dishes, recipes passed down from Daniel and Sang to the Duangmalays. The Tom Ka Gai, a famous Thai soup infused with coconut milk, lemongrass and tamarind, is the most popular menu item, and is Wallace’s personal favorite. Other wellloved menu items are the seafood platter and the Double-Faced Noodles, a dish featuring chicken, prawns, beef and vegetables, sautéed over crunchy Chinese noodles. The sticky rice with mango, a traditional Thai dessert, is not to be missed. As for the Duangmalays, the rice noodle soup is the dish they enjoy the most. Even with the plethora of Chinese and Thai restaurants in the Bay Area, visitors from four hours away insist that The Red Dragon, tucked away in the Trinity Alps, is their favorite. The locals love it, too. “We have our regulars. There are people that walk in and I don’t have to take an order for them because I already know what they are having,” says Wallace. “In fact,” she adds, “The Red Dragon rarely makes changes to the menu because the regulars have their hearts set on their favorites.” From the outside, the building is unassuming – a small sign hangs outside in hand-painted red lettering. But the walls have seen years of hardship, endurance and love. The building has been there since 1855, since the days of stagecoaches and gold panning. In its 164-year life

span, the building has been home to a brewery, a feed store, an office building and a restaurant called The Brewery, known for having a whole wagon suspended from its ceiling. In 1998, it became the home of The Red Dragon. The wall of the main dining room is adorned in a mural that reflects the history and cultural diversity of the town. Its provincial images are illuminated by the shining crystals from vintage chandeliers. The mural doesn’t appear to be signed anywhere, something that has even piqued the curiosity of the restaurant staff. Even without a signature, it leaves a lasting impression. It’s an enduring tribute to the rich Chinese heritage of Weaverville. The Red Dragon is just across the street from The Joss House, an active Taoist temple. During Chinese New Year Celebrations in Weaverville, The Red Dragon stays open after the lion dance to encourage the spirit of “Gung Hay Fat Choy” (Happy New Year). But The Red Dragon isn’t just enchanting because of its delicious food and its proximity to a historical gem like The Joss House. It’s the people, the love and the kindness that radiate from within the walls of The Red Dragon that truly embody the spirit of Weaverville, California. • The Red Dragon • 625 Main St., Weaverville (530) 623-5370

E N G A G I N G K I D S ’ C U R I O S I T Y AT S U M M E R A R T - S C I E N C E C A M P THE YOUNG BOY IN THE LAVENDER poncho is about to create an artistic masterpiece. The rain gear is for his clothes because his brush technique, called splatter, tends to send paint flying. His teacher holds a stick over and parallel to a canvas lying on the table. The boy taps the stick with his loaded brush, and splatter happens, flecking a pre-painted horsie head with accents of green. Teacher Don Linn nods at his student’s progress. “When you get rich and famous,” he says, “I want some money from you. OK?” The boy considers this offer for a moment, still tapping his brush, then replies, “I’ll give you some of my paintings.” This scene takes place on the stage in the lower level of the Redding United Methodist Church, but it’s no act. It’s an art class, part of the church’s annual art-science camp. For the past two weeks, Linn and seven other volunteer instructors have introduced school children from second through eighth grade to artistic technique and natural science. Earth to Sea: Summer Art-Science Camp is the brainchild of Peggy Rebol, director of ministry at the
church. The purpose of this camp is to engage kids in meaningful, hands-on activities across the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Rebol designed the activities to develop creative thinking skills, and to pique curiosity about the world and a sense of wonder about the environment. “This is a way to offer something educational and fun during the summer,” she says. “And meaningful, because to face the challenges of the world in front of us, we really need to have an understanding of our place in the ecosystem. Basically, we need to understand science.” Not surprisingly, Rebol, a credentialed teacher, offers a science course herself during the camp, filling a classroom with a dozen kids. At the same time, other teachers conduct art and science instruction in other parts of the church, classes which the children have chosen from a list. On the artistic side, you can select from painting, collage and papier mâché. For science, you can go outside and dig up bugs from the dirt. Or you can choose Rebol’s class, where you can4 continued on page 68 JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

build a watershed ecosystem or lay out an electrical circuit, even connect it to a machine. Three sixth-grade girls work on the front table, each puzzling over her own project, a circuit board comprised of construction paper, copper tape, batteries, and an LED or two. Though each works on a board of her own, the teacher has grouped them as a team to support each other. When one asks, “How do I make a switch?” Rebol replies, “Ask your compadres.” Eventually, one figures it out and tells the others, and soon the table is alight with three working circuits. Asked what it is, exactly, they just built, the three girls squeal in unison, “Squizzards!” followed by much giggling. At a table further back in the room, a young man studies his science project, a stack of three two-liter plastic soda bottles – cut, inverted and taped together to form what looks like a threetiered aquarium. Each represents a layer in an ecosystem, according to Rebol. “The top layer is terrestrial. The middle is compost, and the third layer is aquatic,” she explains. “I took the samples out of our creek. There are all sorts of creatures in there for the kids to find, like worms, pill bugs and fungi that is natural in the soil. That means it’s healthy.” Meanwhile, the children in the outdoor science class who hauled in bugs are examining their catches under a microscope. As in Rebol’s class, they will write a report on what they did and what they found. Yes, this is school, with classes taught by credentialed teachers. 68
www.EnjoyMagazine.net JUNE 2019
Rebol says she loved nature from the beginning. “I’ve always wanted to go outside. That’s where I most feel like home,” she says. “I didn’t play with dolls. I carried frogs around.” For these leanings she credits her father, who also loved the outdoors. “When I was a very young age, we’d go backpacking in the Sierras,” she recalls. “We’d stay there for a couple of weeks, fishing and hiking.” She graduated from Occidental College in Los Angeles, majoring in biology. June will arrive again pretty soon, and the Redding United Methodist Church will once again hold the Earth to Sea: Summer Art-Science Camp. This year’s camp will see a few changes. Student age range will cut back to sixth grade and extend to preschoolers, ages 4-5. The camp will run weekdays from June 17-28, 8 am-12:30 pm, and will include lunch. The evening after the last day’s sessions, the church will host an open house, where students will share their two-week adventure in art and science with friends and family. • For more information. call (530) 243-2403

Inspired T R E N DY P O K É I S A N E W F O O D FAVO R I T E I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E TASTES FOR HEALTHY, convenient food options have catapulted a traditional Hawaiian dish into a trend. Southern California served as the epicenter for the poké (pronounced PO-kay) trend, and the Hawaiian-inspired bowls adapted with ease to fast-casual style formats. Poké in Hawaiian means “to cut crosswise into pieces.” The catch of the day was sliced and tossed with sea salt and ogo (fresh seaweed). Poké evolved and has been transformed throughout various countries and regions. In general, poké refers to raw tuna cut into cubes, marinated with soy sauce and sesame oil and onion. It does not have to have tuna or even seafood in it. Other variations serve cubed avocado with cooked meat. Poké is a staple in Hawaii so local stores have a broad variety of poké bowls. Some are made with octopus and garnished with kimchi or wasabi. The result is a strong influence from Japanese and Korean dishes.4 continued on page 72

The raw salad known as poké is certainly not new, but new versions have popped up everywhere. Many cuisines from Mexican to Mediterranean have made their way into the mainstream fast-casual style restaurants. Poké bowls are the Hawaiian inspired version. You can even find poké in a burrito. At Poké Land on Dana Drive in Redding, Keisha Martinusen says, “The service is fast and the portions are really good for the price. They let you sample before you decide what to put in your bowl.” The ability to customize your bowl ensures each is different than the one before. Poké comes with a variety of colorful sauces, mounds of crunchy toppings and a heap of bases such as rice, lettuce and kale noodles. Ahi tuna is the predominant poké fish. In Hawaii, poké is a supermarket staple, and entire counters are filled with trays of already-marinated raw fish in flavors such as shoyu poké, limu or Hawaiian-style poké with chopped kukui nuts or spicy ahi. Today, salmon is popular, although the

grow your own M U S H R O O M A DV E N T U R E S I N M A RY SV I L L E AS THE WEATHER warms up and people plan for an active summer, the team at Mushroom Adventures in Marysville is moving into its fallow season. “Summer time for us is repair time,” says Donald Simoni, the company’s founder. “It’s when we go out and get work done. It’s a renewal time.” Come fall, with cooler weather conducive to mushroom growth, the team goes into high production creating mushroom kits that are sent far and wide through wholesale and internet retail. Many will end up under Christmas trees as unique gifts for foodies and hard-tofind-for friends. “What the kits really offer is an opportunity to learn the process of growing mushrooms in a home environment that’s really not available, as a whole, elsewhere,” explains Simoni. “I personally get a lot of satisfaction just knowing I did it. It’s educational, teaches you how to grow them, to some extent.” Just as North State home gardeners are now starting to calculate the true cost of growing their own tomatoes, Simoni laughs as he mentions, “You’re not going to save
money by buying a mushroom kit.” But as the tomato growers also know, nothing beats the satisfaction of biting into something you’ve grown yourself. With Mushroom Adventures kits, the fun isn’t fleeting. “All of our kits grow mushrooms over an extended amount of time. You get a few months,” he adds. “The kits will produce a fixed amount of mushrooms depending on how much growing medium is in the box.” The need to develop their own growing medium in the form of organic compost encouraged the Bay Area-based company to move to Marysville in 2005, where land was affordable and a 6,000-square-foot warehouse was waiting for them to set up shop. “We’re out in the middle of an orchard,” says Simoni. “Mushroom farms on the edge of urban areas usually get shut down over time, either because of encroachment or odors.” The Marysville location is zoned exclusively agriculture. “So far they’ve left us alone. We’re not bothering anybody and we’re all happy out here.” 4 continued on page 76
JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
75
The company keeps ties to the Bay Area, however, as its fresh mushroom business has a strong customer base at farmers markets in San Francisco on Clement Street and at Stonestown Shopping Center. They also sell weekly in Chico and Auburn. The company diversified to sell fresh product when it felt the pressure of competition from Amazon. “It seemed sort of odd to be selling all of these mushroom kits but not be in the mushroom business,” he says. Also in the way of diversification, Simoni notes, “There’s a curiousness in medicinal mushrooms and also exotic mushrooms. We’re having to expand our growing operation and even our mushroom kit operation to fill that niche.” He notes that interest in lion’s mane, maitake, oyster and shiitake mushrooms is growing. Simoni traces his fascination with mushroom adventures to his teenage summers spent hunting at a Gridley duck club with family. “When I was a kid, 16 or 17, my uncle used to take me hunting,” he says. “We’d be walking through the forest and we’d stop and pick mushrooms. That kind of excited me about picking mushrooms from the wild.” As an adult he found himself with a renewed interest in mushrooms during the off season of his San Franciscobased paint contracting business, which runs from April to October. He joined the Mycological Society of San Francisco and started experimenting in his basement. “I wanted to grow some mushrooms that me and my uncle used to pick when we went hunting,” he says. In 1996, five years into his hobby, he officially opened Mushroom Adventures, working on it during the fall and winter and painting in spring and summer. “I did both for about four or five years,” he says. Eventually, he adds, “I phased out the paint contracting business for full-time mushroom growing kits.” “Back in the ’90s there was a big wild mushroom craze going on,” he says of the early days of his endeavors. “The public was introduced to wild mushrooms. People had this curiosity. But you were too frightened to go out to pick them. The mushroom kits would fill that niche. In 1995, portobello mushrooms hit the marketplace. People were curious about them and heard that they were tasty. And here you could buy a kit to grow them yourselves.” Simoni truly takes pleasure in keeping up with the trends in mushrooms and helping the public find access to them. It’s been one adventure after the other and he’s enjoying the ride. • Mushroom Adventures www.mushroomadventures.com • (530) 741-2437

TACO GOOD FOOD
BY STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAYLA ANDERSON
TRUCK TUESDAY and other days, too! C H I C O ’ S TA C O T R U C K S FOR MORE THAN 15 years, taco trucks have been seen all around Chico serving inexpensive, delicious food. No matter where you are going, it seems that a taco truck is close by, serving affordable, authentic Mexican food. Find a torta with guacamole, lettuce and well-cooked seasoned meat (maybe even lengua) nestled in a sweet bun for around $5 or a smattering of cilantro, onion and pork in two small, warm, soft flour tortillas for $1.25 apiece. It seems like Mexican taco trucks have been in Chico long before the whole food truck craze hit, so where did it come from and how has this movement maintained its popularity in Northern California? On 1295 East 8th St., right off Highway 99 heading eastbound on Highway 32 toward downtown Chico, the Gordo Burrito shares a parking lot with a Valero gas station and serves as El Paisa Taco Truck’s headquarters. The flagship restaurant where all the cooking takes place4 continued on page 80
JUNE 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

is bustling with people, some ordering in Spanish, some in English. Behind the counter is Jorge Uriate, the brother of owner Jose Uriate. The Uriate family started with two food trucks 15 years ago and then opened Gordo Burrito 10 years ago. Originally from Sinaloa on the Pacific Coast Gulf of California in Mexico, the family emigrated to Encinitas in Southern California, eventually finding their way up to Northern California. “All of the family cooks,” Jorge says. “My sister, Mirna Garcia Uriate, opened a taco truck in Corning 20 years ago and it did very well. She would drive to the orchards to feed the pickers,” he says. After seeing Mirna’s success, Jose decided to open Tacos El Paisa and kept it parked on 598 E. 8th St. “Here in a town of 80,000 people, we do pretty good business,” Jorge says. Then about a decade ago, the City of Chico required that local food trucks could only stay in business if they had a sanitary place to drain their gray water, so the Uriate family opened a permanent structure and called it Gordo Burrito. The physical location proved to be just as successful as the trucks. “On a slow day we’ll do 120 customers,” Jorge says of Gordo Burrito. “Business with the restaurant has boomed every single day since we’ve opened,” he adds as a steady stream of people come filtering in and out on a midweek afternoon.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JUNE 2019
Jose’s wife and three children work alongside him in the taco truck business, plus 25 employees who help cook and serve 50 pounds of beans daily and 800 pounds of chicken a week. Chicken is the most popular meat on the menu, consisting of boneless chicken thighs grilled, cut and seasoned into moist chunks to go alongside bits of cilantro and onion in a soft taco. “We’re from out of town and we found the best place – we heard that Gordo Burrito has amazing food and they were right,” a customer says. Other popular authentic Mexican taco trucks include Fiesta Taco on 933 Nord Ave. in front of Star Liquors (they have more than 20 items ranging from tostadas and quesadillas to combo plates) and Tacos El Pinolero on 275 E. Park Ave., known for their tender seasoned carne asada in tacos, tostadas or burritos and served with a jalapeno, radishes and a lime wedge. Other taco truck companies have been spotted in Los Molinos, Corning and in South Redding on Knighton Road. •

Our Responsibility to Model Kindness, Empathy and Inclusiveness Kindness: having concern for others and being able to show that concern through our thoughts and actions. Empathy: the ability to understand another person’s thoughts, feelings and condition from his or her point of view, rather than from one’s own. Inclusiveness: the practice or policy of including people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized. As adults we have the opportunity to inspire our children to be kinder, more empathetic and inclusive! We can be intentional about modeling kindness by observing opportunities for kindness all around us, offering small acts of kindness to others and talking to our children about what we are doing and why. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, coach or simply an adult in the room, modeling kindness, empathy and inclusiveness allows our children to witness the act and the receiver’s reaction. Performing a kind act causes our brain to release endorphins, the chemicals that give us feelings of excitement and high spirits very similar to a “runner’s high.” Doing something nice for someone also gives the brain a serotonin boost, the chemical that elevates our mood and provides feelings of satisfaction. Dr. Patty O’Grady, an expert in neuroscience, emotional learning and positive psychology, reports there are numerous positive effects from performing and receiving acts of kindness that benefit schools. • Happy, caring children • Greater sense of belonging • Increased peer acceptance • Improved health and less stress • Increased feeling of gratitude • Better concentration and improved results • Reduced depression
Empathy is closely associated with kindness because it allows us to understand others. Most often, we are compelled to take action in order to relieve another person’s suffering. When we experience empathy, we are more likely to engage in positive social behaviors that benefit other people. How we treat others, and how we feel about others, often reflects the beliefs and values that were instilled at a very young age. Once again we are reminded of our responsibility to demonstrate empathy to foster positive social development in our children. Inclusiveness is derived from kindness and empathy. As adults, we can support the development of an inclusive mindset by learning more about others, refraining from assumptions and speaking in a non-judgmental way. We all have an opportunity to support the development of positive, self-confident, kind, empathetic and inclusive children. The benefits of our work will be everlasting!

GIVING BACK

BY EMILY MIRANDA
REACH OUT T R I N I T Y C O M M U N I T Y F O O D O U T R E AC H FIVE YEARS AGO, a passionate group of individuals decided to start a food outreach to benefit local nonprofits and the community. The goal? That no one should go hungry. “We had the idea to start the Trinity Community Food Outreach in order to purchase nonperishable food from Feeding America and start a storefront to sell the products to local food pantries, soup kitchens or any nonprofit at no additional cost to them,” explains Jeffry England, executive director of the Trinity Community Food Outreach and the Trinity County Food Bank. The group also wished to use their resources to aid wildfire victims. Their dream became reality in May 2015, when the Trinity Community Food Outreach gained nonprofit status. Word caught on, and in June 2016 the outreach purchased a 12foot box truck with a grant from the McConnell Fund of the Shasta Regional Community Foundation, making transportation of goods more feasible. They hit another milestone when the outreach’s secretary, Connor Nixon, along with the community and local businesses raised more than $24,000 to remodel an unused section of the food bank into an operational storefront. This has allowed “soup kitchens, food pantries, senior centers and local nonprofits to purchase food at the same cost that we purchased it for,” says England. A $25 fee covers transportation and maintenance costs for their truck. “To date we have sold over $75,000 worth of food. Also, once a month we pick up purchased food from Feeding America and pallets of free produce, bread and other food items, dividing all the free food between food pantries, soup kitchens and senior centers,” England adds.
They partnered with Pay It Forward Humboldt in 2017 during the aftermath of the Helena Fire, and more recently in the aftermath of the Camp Fire, gathering and delivering donations for survivors. They also helped purchase a full box truck and large trailer to transport donations collected by Karen Sundt to Camp Fire survivors in Magalia. Furthermore, they assisted Fido Pet Food Bank from Oregon City, Ore. in transporting more than 5,000 pounds of pet food to Chico to give out to Camp Fire survivors. “Last August we also held a two day, stuff-the-truck event in the Holiday Market parking lot, to help replace food that was spoiled when Lewiston Carr Fire evacuees lost power,” says England. The food outreach has gone above and beyond, caring not only for its own community but also its neighboring counties. And with the Trinity County Board of Supervisors’ recent financial collaboration with both the Trinity Community Food Outreach and the Trinity County Food Bank, food coming into Trinity County has tripled, making its mission to ensure “that no one should go hungry” closer than ever before. • Find them on Facebook
