editor’s note MARCH 2020

DAFFODILS BLOOM, sunshine abounds – and that junk drawer overflows. It’s springtime in the North State, and we’re ready to clear the clutter! We know we’ll never need to reference that old utility bill again, and we feel guilty about donating that candelabra that Aunt Susan gave us many years ago, even though it’s not a great fit with our décor. Why do we hang onto these things? We’ve got some explanations that might help you get on the path to a more well-organized home. If organizing your memories has been on your to-do list, Crown Camera and Video stands ready to help. The long-standing downtown business has been revitalized, and it offers digitization of film and slides, photo printing, memory mashups and more. Treat yourself to a trip down Memory Lane as you go through all of those old treasured photos that have been in shoeboxes for decades. Ladies, don’t let your makeup drawer skip the decluttering process. We’ve got some tips to help you decide what should stay and what should go among your beauty products. Who needs some mental decluttering? The schedules, the grocery lists, the vacation plans, the deadlines – some days, we wish we had a “restart” button on our brains. Consider clearing your mind with a little road trip, and if you don’t have a destination in mind, we found a fun little spot in Taylorsville near Quincy. Young’s Market has been renovated into a comfortable spot to grab something to eat, sit by the fireplace and check out some history – their 105-year-old cash register is still in operation, and generations of folks have enjoyed the nostalgia that it evokes. Wishing you a spectacular spring – enjoy!

Spending time with family and friends is what we love best. Went to my brother's house over the holidays and his dog Winnie just fell in love with me. She made herself right at home. We were very blessed to celebrate Christmas Eve with our daughter, Mariele and some good friends followed by an amazing birthday celebration for our dear friend Vickie. Enjoyed a tasty New Year's Eve dinner with my brother and his wife. Ultimately, we got to sneak away to hit the slopes at Mount Shasta. The snow was fantastic and it was a beautiful day on top of it all! Celebrating with friends, family and furries... these are a few of our favorite things!

my town:

generous and supportive GAYLE HARRINGTON COTTONWOOD

Director of Library Services Cottonwood Community Library I can still remember my first introduction to Cottonwood many years ago. As a young wife and mother living in Anderson at the time, I ventured out with our two young daughters to explore a unique little store with an attached ice cream shop. Back then, I was intrigued by the horse rings and high sidewalks that make Front Street famous. Little did I know that one day my life would embrace Cottonwood as a place to call home, a safe haven to nurture and educate our daughters, and an opportunity for a career of a lifetime. In 1988, Cottonwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s branch of the Shasta County Library system was closed due to budget cuts. Luckily, many people in town rallied to find a way to make a library possible. In 1996 we proudly opened the doors to the Cottonwood Community Library. The next few years would find us moving locations as we grew in size and popularity. People responded when we put out the call that we wanted a permanent home for a community-supported library. Land was generously donated by Dr. Jim Reifert and his family, and ground was broken to build a forever home to house our great library. As the library director, I have the privilege to see and hear on a daily basis what takes place here. We welcome young parents and children who faithfully attend our Storytime, where families get to mingle and form friendships while their children benefit from hearing the spoken word. Our computer lab is constantly used by young and old alike. Our meeting room acts as a classroom for those working to increase their English language skills, as well as a gathering place for our very lively and active Book Club discussing the book of the month. Students and teachers, businesspeople and clients, or those looking for a central place to meet often gather around our tables. Travelers on the road stop in to ask for information from our friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. For me, the Cottonwood Community Library is a microcosm of the community itself. Something was needed, and the townspeople found a way to make things happen. They generously do this time and time again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it is supporting the library or other nonprofit groups located here, or by providing a network of watchful eyes for the people and the town. Cottonwood proudly supports a traditional cowboy way of life while embracing a new world of technology and modernism. I am proud to call Cottonwood my home.

CLEAR THE CLUTTER

A CLEAN SWEEP Photos courtesy of Heather Gold

GET ORGANIZED WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE PROS

LOOKING AROUND the room wondering what happened to that clean, neat and tidy area? Having issues with finding stuff ? Feeling like your focus is off ? As the years go by the clutter stacks up and then one day it hits you. You need to organize and clean up. Everyday life leaves you frazzled and overwhelmed. Spring arrives March 19 – what better time to do some cleanup? If you don’t know how to get started, there are people who can help with the task. Heather Gold is a professional organizer who now also works as a social worker and life coach. Her visit includes assessment, storage ideas and a step-by-step plan of action. This planning stage is where hopes and dreams are discussed. The rooms are often treasure troves of items and provide a walk down memory lane. Gold marks boxes with “save,” “donate” and “trash” to help streamline the sorting, and each room is transformed into a clean and usable space. Decluttering is not just about extra stuff in the home – it is about creating a living environment that enhances health, order and creativity. “The ‘now’ is a vital part of the organizing journey, as clutter can be so much a part of the things that were and could be. Being in the present moment is the greatest gift that people can give to themselves. Often, clutter and all the other stressors of daily living can make us feel lost and burdened.”4 continued on page 16 MARCH 2020

“I BECAME ADDICTED TO DOWNSIZING AND THE WAY IT OPENED UP SPACES AND CLEARED MY MIND,” HUAVI SAYS. “I REALIZED THAT I COULD LET GO OF MANY THINGS I HAD BEEN HOLDING ONTO FOR YEARS, AND JUST FELT REALLY FREE AFTERWARD...” Heather Gold

Jessica Huavi

THE BENEFITS OF LESS IS MORE

• Less to clean • Less to organize • Less stress • Less debt • More financial freedom • More energy for

This spring, Gold will teach two classes at Shasta College: “Taking Steps to Move Forward and Get Organized” and “Living Well: Developing the Resiliency Necessary for Living in Today’s World.” In 2011, she was featured as a professional organizer on the TV show “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” Another organizational expert is Jessica Huavi in Chico, who began her business after having her first daughter. She had begun to feel overwhelmed with organizing the baby’s room. After reading about the concept of living minimally she discovered something about herself. “I became addicted to downsizing and the way it opened up spaces and cleared my mind,” Huavi says. “I realized that I could let go of many things I had been holding onto for years, and just felt really free afterward. I do not come from a family of purgers, so the idea of it was really new to me and exciting. After that, it was much easier to keep a clean house and feel in control. I also became much more mindful of what I brought in, which in turn saved me a lot of money.” After watching shows about hoarding, Huavi attended a business class which gave her the confidence to create her own business. Her grandparents, Paul and Frances Newsom, were her first clients. “We tackled their large garage over several weeks, and it helped give me the confidence that I could take on any project,” Huavi says. “Working with family can be just as tricky as strangers, but part of what I love about this is the bonding that comes with working together. You get to hear stories about their things and lives, it can be really interesting.” Her services also include shopping and donation hauling. Spring is peeking out from around that corner. Now is the time to make a clean sweep! • Heather Gold • 1650 Oregon St., Suite 216, Redding (530) 691-4577 x 3 Jessica Huavi • www.jhuaviorganizing.com (530) 715-0667

CLEAR THE CLUTTER

declutter & destress HELPFUL TIPS FOR THE DIY ORGANIZER

“The first step in crafting a life you want is getting rid of everything you don’t.” – Joshua Becker IT’S ONE OF those tasks that we continually push off, telling ourselves we’ll get to it eventually but never actually making it a priority: clearing the clutter. Those three words might sound daunting, igniting an underlying weight of anxiety, but clearing up your space refreshes body, mind and soul. Organized space is a breath of fresh air to the brain; working in a clean environment increases both creativity and productivity. No longer having that everlooming list of things to “get to” that keeps you up at night will ensure a better night’s sleep. Decluttering not only puts your mind at ease, it also gives your soul a fulfilling sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. How to get started? COMMIT. Instead of adding more to your daily routine, schedule a day each week or a weekend each month dedicated to getting your clutter under control. Setting aside specific days allows you the freedom to focus on decluttering without distraction. START SMALL. Tackle the easiest area first. A junk drawer is a good example. Eliminate everything you don’t use and re-organize the things you do. In the future, stick to keeping it that way. KEEP TO THE CORNERS. If you’re not ready to go big just yet, head to a cluttered corner, get rid of what isn’t used or wanted, and tidy up what’s left.

SET A TIMER FOR LARGER SPACES. When taking on larger areas, like a room or pantry, set a timer for 15 minutes. Do as much clearing out as you can within the time frame, and when the timer goes off, take a break. Take a look at what you accomplished within that short time and enjoy that wave of satisfaction. When you’re ready, restart that timer and repeat the process. BAG IT. Grab a trash bag and walk through your house, filling it as quickly as you can. For additional motivation, time yourself and see if you can defeat your personal record. Once those bags are filled donate, recycle or trash them. TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS. Log your progress with before and after photos. Not only will this add to your sense of accomplishment, the “after” photos can also serve as a reference for keeping those areas tidy in future. •

“Memories are the biggest part of our lives. They tell our whole story… it’s like seeing a whole family’s life right in front of me. It’s remarkable.” EVERY NOW AND THEN, the proverbial door comes within a breath of closing. If the fates align, there is a chance to slip through the narrow space, before the landscape is altered permanently. Last year, after serving the North State for 62 years as the owner of Crown Camera in Downtown Redding, Gary Engell decided it was time to retire. In the moment just before the door between the past and the future would slam shut – one week, to be exact – two people reached out, grabbed the handle and reopened the door. “What are we going to do when you’re not here anymore?” It was the question that Engell’s son, Jeff, and

Theresa Wood, who had worked at Crown Camera for 30 years, heard time and time again. As customers flooded into the store with projects during Crown Camera’s final days, their sense of panic and sadness at the thought of what they’d do without the business they had known and loved for decades was palpable. “You’d think the stock market crashed,” said Jeff Engell. Crown Camera was the only business of its kind in the North State and the realization that the community was feeling the sting of its loss prompted a big decision. Engell and Wood felt a sense of responsibility to keep its memories intact for future generations.4 continued on page 24

—————————“PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEO AND MOVIES PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS…”—————————

“I thought I’d take a small footprint of the original business. Gary sold me some of the equipment for a good price and I was planning to move over to a shop on Bechelli – one that I could afford. Jeff decided he wanted to continue to offer his services, as well. In the process of trying to move to Bechelli, we realized that it wouldn’t work for our needs,” says Wood. Shortly before Gary’s passing, he called the landlord to see if they could maintain a smaller portion of the space occupied by Crown Camera. “‘All I care about, Kid, is a chair and a newspaper – and I promise I’ll be quiet!’ That’s what he said to me. But we knew that wouldn’t happen. He was constantly telling Jeff and I what to do. We wish we could have had five more years of him bossing us around,” says Wood with a laugh. Crown Photo & Video Featuring Theresa’s Photo Services is honored to say that its doors are open in Downtown Redding. There, in a portion of the same space where memories have been treasured and preserved for decades, Engell and Wood are still working to provide a quintessential service. The business name and the street address are new, but the legacy is enduring. Jeff Engell provides a full range of video and audio editing services, including record-to-CD transfer and digitization of mp4 video formats, to name a few. Theresa Wood offers photo printing, digitization of 35mm film and negative slides, and memory mashups – videos compiled from photos, music and text used to commemorate special occasions or to memorialize a loved one. The website, www.crownphotoandvideo.com, offers a place for clients to securely store their memories and an opportunity to create specialty photo gifts. “Photographs, video and movies preserve our heritage for future generations,” says Engell. “I’ve had customers bring in recorded tapes of babies’ voices they’ve never heard before. When I transfer the recordings onto an audio CD-ROM, our clients can hear what their ancestors sounded like.” Engell had the opportunity to work on a video production for longtime client and Shasta Lake City resident Jean Naylor. “The local market there in Central Valley used to sell old movie film. When the film expired and could no longer be sold on the shelf, the manager would give it to Ron, who would pass it along to his wife. She began documenting the life of her family through home movies in the 1960s. There were videos of her children when they were little. She told the entire story of her family in the form of a movie – narrated in her own voice. It was called ‘All Because Two People Fell in Love’,” Engell says. 4 continued on page 26

Wood says she gets emotional when dealing with photos – even if they aren’t of her own family. Memory mashups are among her most treasured projects. She recently created one for former Sheriff Tom Bosenko’s retirement party and says “it’s like seeing a whole family’s life right in front of me. It’s remarkable.” While digitization is an opportunity to showcase special moments, it’s also crucial for protection against the loss of family histories. “In the Carr Fire, people lost images on their computers and on their walls. It’s nice to have something tangible on the wall, but it’s good to always have a backup,” says Wood. Although the landscape of the business has changed, Wood and Engell hope to bridge the gap between the community’s needs and the people who can provide them. “We still work closely with our old coworkers. They are still providing some services to the community through their own businesses,” says Engell. Harvey Spector, artist and photographer, offers camera cleaning services and assists Wood with large-format print work if an image is too large to fit onto a scanner. Duane Brovan hopes to reintroduce his photo workshops and other services into the newly redefined business.

“We’ve seen a lot of people in our community grow up. Some of them came to us when they were babies, and now they are 30 years old. All the years we have been working and maintaining a relationship with them has created a meaningful bond,” says Wood. “I think that it was only with the closure of Crown Camera that we realized what a powerful connection we had to each other. That connection gives us hope that we’ll continue to be here to help preserve the memories of this community.”• Crown Photo & Video Featuring Theresa’s Photo Services 1360 Tehama St. • Redding (530) 243-8333 • www.crownphotoandvideo.com Monday – Friday, 9am – 5:30pm

T H E U K U L E L E P R O G A M AT LASSEN VIEW SCHOOL

AMID THE CHORUS of young voices in the hallways of Lassen View School in Dairyville, there is often a bright and joyous sound of ukulele. A sixth-grader may be strumming a traditional Hawaiian tune, another may be in a different hallway plucking out a favorite pop song. Yet another may be refining an original score. “Ukulele can be heard all around the campus on many different occasions,” says music specialist Kim Hickok. “And it always brings a smile. It’s just so positive. It’s a happy thing.” The sixth-grade ukulele program at Lassen View has become one of the most popular offerings on campus, and is helping Hickok prove the point that every child is a musician. “Having those ukuleles has just opened up a floodgate at our school,” she says. “If someone could walk into the music room and see the joy and smiles on the faces.” Hickok, in her 16th year at the school, added music to her schedule of teaching seventh- and eighth-grade language arts and social studies four years ago when it became clear the school might lose its beloved music program. A 38-year veteran music teacher retired and the district struggled to fill the position on a part-time basis. “I’m a lifelong musician and I had the inspiration, with the help of my husband, to think that I could help out in this position,” she says. She began working toward the additional teaching credential needed and started thinking about how to revitalize the program. “I was looking for something to appeal to the older kids I teach, kids who might not be in band,” she says. “I chose it because I knew it was something everyone could have some success with. Ukulele is extremely popular.” The dedication that has developed around the instrument is proof. “The kids really crave it,” says Hickok. “They come in to practice at lunch. They want to take it home to practice.” More than a few students have received ukuleles for Christmas and birthday presents. One student got his dad hooked on playing. “It has become a little subculture within our music program,” she adds. A group has formed calling itself the Uke Jammers, and it performs for classrooms and at the annual Dairyville Orchard Festival, with the hope of adding more community performances.4 continued on page 32

IT’S A HAPPY THING” MARCH 2020

“There are kids that struggle all day long with the academic activities and then they come into the music room and shine,” she says, noting the elevated esteem and connection students are experiencing. Although a sixthgrade offering, many students who started the program at its inception last year are continuing with the instrument. “A more dedicated group has formed that wanted to go above and beyond.” Undeterred by a school budget that couldn’t develop a robust program, Hickok did what teachers across America do for special projects and even basic school supplies. She set up a project profile on Donorschoose.org, a crowd funding website for classrooms. A $1,500 request for 37 ukuleles was covered in a week. “I was extremely proactive on social media getting the word out,” she says. The result was “outrageous community support from current Lassen View families, former families.” Parents with students far younger than sixth grade pitched in to assure their children would one day learn the instrument.

The fun of the ukuleles began before the boxes they were packed in were even opened. “They came right as the school year was winding up,” she says of the April 2018 delivery. “They were in huge boxes and the kids were curious.” That curiosity morphed into excitement the following school year, when each sixth-grade student was assigned their own ukulele. “The students are highly motivated,” adds Hickok. “It’s just wonderful.” She would love to expand into a guitar program and believes more opportunities like this will bring out the inherent musician in each student. “Every person is able to experience music in their own way. That’s why I stepped up. Music at Lassen View would have gone away. It’s so important to have it for our kids.” Teacher requests from across the North State can be found on any given day at Donorschoose.org. “It’s a wonderful way for teachers to very easily get the funding from far and wide for all kinds of projects,” says Hickok. The sweet sound of ukulele at Lassen View and the smiles of its students are proof the effort to develop and fund a campaign are surely worth it. •

March Awareness Colorectal Cancer

According to the Mayo Clinic, colon cancer begins in the large intestine (colon). The colon is the final part of the digestive system. Colon cancer can occur in any part of the colon. An examination of your entire colon using a long, flexible tube equipped with a camera (colonoscopy) is one way to detect colon cancer and polyps. • Polyps may be small and cause few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they turn into cancer. • If colon cancer develops, many treatments are available to help control it, including surgery, radiation therapy and drug treatments, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COLON CANCER INCLUDE: • A persistent change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool. • Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool. • Persistent or abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas, or pain.

• A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely. • Weakness or fatigue. • Unexplained weight loss. WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR If you notice any persistent symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your primary physician. Below is a list of risk factors: RISK FACTORS: . Older age . African-American race . A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps . Inflammatory intestinal condition . Inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risks . Family history of colon cancer

. Low fiber, high-fat diet . Sedentary lifestyle . Diabetes . Obesity . Smoking . Alcohol . Radiation therapy for cancer

PREVENTION: Doctors recommend that people should consider colon cancer screening around age 50. However, people with an increased risk should consider screening sooner. There are several screening options. Talk with your provider about your options and together you can decide which is appropriate for you.

BARN G R E E N B A R N W H I S K E Y K I TC H E N IN RED BLUFF

BY MELISSA MENDONCA

PHOTOS: ALEXIS LECLAIR

WHEN BRUCE GEVEDEN decided to refresh the venerable Green Barn Steakhouse in Red Bluff, he looked to his Kentucky roots to add a twist to the institution that’s been known and loved since 1959. After a twomonth renovation, the restaurant reopened in December 2018 as Green Barn Whiskey Kitchen. Beef and whiskey are at center stage, with bourbon showing up across the menu as well as in the bar. “We brought it back to a steakhouse,” says Geveden. “Tehama County is a beef town. We have a lot of cattlemen and cattlewomen that support the restaurant and I wanted to bring it back to their liking.” Steaks are Certified Angus. Other meats are sourced locally from A&R Meats in Red Bluff. Julia’s Fruit Stand in Los Molinos provides produce during its growing season. Geveden and partner Bambi Schumacher teamed up with local graphic designer Heather Vine to develop a modern-concept steakhouse that still honors the traditions of its heritage. Steampunk accents add whimsy to the classic steakhouse feel. A new covered outdoor seating area invites patrons to a more casual experience. “The steak sandwich, which has stayed the same, is pretty hard to beat,” says Geveden. Adding to the lineup is a broader range of steak options, prime rib and flourishes such as shrimp, scallops and lobster toppings. The fried pickles, which have been a longtime fan favorite, remain. “That was my mother’s recipe,” says Geveden. 4 continued on page 36

Then there’s the whiskey, a staple ingredient. “I’m from Kentucky,” he adds. “I go back to Bourbon County about once a year.” That’s where his love of bourbon was born, and what fuels his interest in keeping 65 different bottles in the bar and a menu of whiskey-infused dishes. “We do a lot of the old-style bourbon recipes,” he says, noting that a favorite cookbook is called “Eat Your Bourbon” by Matt Jamie. Whiskey shows up in sauces and dressings and a special mushroom butter saute for steaks. “I travel a lot so I’m always looking for new things,” he says. Geveden also owns a construction business, which keeps him on the road.

forward to seeing, whether on a weekly basis or for an annual visit during the Red Bluff Bull Sale in January or Round Up Rodeo in April. General Manager Melissa Alvarez keeps it all running smoothly. In January, the restaurant began a brunch service with specialty dishes such as shrimp and grits, Monte Cristo and huevos rancheros. Patrons look forward to a monthly Paint Night with artist Lacy Wilson, who guides them through an art piece with craft cocktail complement. Within six months of reopening, the upgraded restaurant earned Best of Tehama in several categories, including Restaurant and Steak.

As for the bar, a whiskey-forward menu is complemented by local craft beers and weekly cocktail specials his bartenders dream up. When asked his favorite whiskey, Geveden immediately answers Makers Mark 46, but then quickly reels off others, such as Old Forester – “That’s hard to beat” – and Buffalo Trace. He finally determines, “All whiskeys are good, just some better than others.” While the restaurant itself underwent significant improvements such as new flooring, wallpaper, steampunk accents, upgraded kitchen appliances and ADA seating in the private dining area, all with new furniture, many front-of-house and kitchen staff remained. “The wait staff has been there quite a few years,” says Geveden. These are the people regulars look

The re-imagined restaurant is just what Geveden was hoping for when he took the reins for the second time. “I kept the core the same but I made enough changes that it brought it back to life,” he says. “It’s a unique experience. It’s pretty popular.”•

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAYLA ANDERSON

Cha -Ching ! TAY L O R S V I L L E ’ S 1 0 5 -Y E A R - O L D C A S H R E G I S T E R ABOUT A HALF-HOUR outside of Quincy on Highway 89 in a quiet area amongst grassy fields and surrounded by snow-dusted mountains lies the tiny town (population: roughly 160) of Taylorsville. The centerpiece of Taylorsville is Young’s Market, a 157-year-old staple that was built by the Young family back when it was a thriving mining, logging and ranching town that hosted four other markets, seven bars and three hotels. The population diminished over the years due to various wildfires, but Taylorsville has managed to stay a close community for those who are looking to live a simple existence off the beaten path. Young’s Market is managed by Kelly Tan,

who took over the store seven years ago and runs it with her family. The upstairs portion of the building was previously converted into a living space, but when Tan moved in during the fall of 2012, she realized that it was far from comfortable. “It rained a lot, it was cold, and then the bats moved in,” Tan says. “The fireplace (downstairs in the market) was the only source of heat we had,” she remembers. The market wasn’t in much better shape. “The walls were lined with motor oil, fishing tackle, and the windows were blocked with refrigeration,” Kelly says of the dark, dungeony space. Premade sandwiches hung out next to sugary sodas and 4 continued on page 42

band of BROTHERS K I D S U N L I M I T E D R E I M AG I N E D ANY KID CAN be a star through Kids Unlimited – take it from the program’s new producing executive directors, who spent their childhood summers as “KU kids” and grew up to perform around the world. The summer performing arts program concluded after a 30-year run in 2017, but identical triplets and Redding natives Clayton, Kyle and Matthew Thurmond were so touched by their long-ago experience as participants that they decided to breathe new life into it. The nonprofit organization, now Kids Unlimited Institute of the Arts Summer Conservatory and Performance Encounter, is open to ages 7-20. The mission is to develop character and a sense of belonging through the performing arts. Under the theme “Kids Unlimited Reimagined,” the experience includes a fiveweek camp from June 15 to July 21, where students can join dance and singing teams and enroll in enrichment classes, all in preparation for four shows from July 22-25 at Redding School of the Arts. Classes are instructed by professional teachers and choreographers from Broadway, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Disney. The brothers are aiming for Broadway-caliber shows, with professional lights, sets and costumes. Numerous pricing options are offered, and fundraising, payment plans and sibling discounts are available. “We have been working around the clock to bring the KU magic back to the Redding community,” says Clayton, company manager and operations director. “KU has helped guide so many young people’s love for the visual and performing arts. The journey helps them build confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, respect and the opportunity to be proud of their accomplishments. KU is a positive, uplifting and magical organization where every student who participates is a star.” 4 continued on page 46

Kyle, who serves as artistic director and recently returned from an international Broadway tour of “Peter Pan,” worked for Kids Unlimited under Hess’ direction for several years. “It is more than just a company to me,” Kyle says. “I hope to sprinkle the seeds of musical theatre inspiration to people of all ages in this new generation of KU productions. My hope is that one day KU performers will feel confident to go out into the world and express themselves in a positive light with hard work ethic and true, loving character. In Kids Unlimited, we accept everyone.” Adds Matthew, the dance supervisor: “‘If a child can’t learn the way we teach them, maybe we should teach the way they learn.’ I feel that Kids Unlimited does just that with so many different types of learning abilities. Carrying on the legacy of Kids Unlimited to the next generation of kids means so much to me. This program gave me the tools to have the confidence and knowledge to further my performing career after high school and college. I have made a career from singing, dancing and acting around the world.” With years of experience working for Walt Disney Entertainment in California and Japan, each of the triplets has a lengthy list of professional credits to his name. They all furthered their education in the performing arts field and have performed under the direction of professionals from New York City, Hollywood, Las Vegas and more. Clayton holds bachelor’s degrees in liberal studies and musical theater, along with a master’s degree in education and a teaching credential, and he teaches acting and musical theatre workshops in Southern California. He also teaches in several school districts. Kyle holds a degree in theater arts drama and stage management, and has taught musical theatre classes and private lessons for performing arts organizations in Orange County and Northern California, including Kids Unlimited, Harris Studios, The Broadway Experience and the Cascade Theatre. Matthew, a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, lives in New York and most recently performed off Broadway at Madison Square Garden in “Rudolph.” He has guest choreographed for Cascade Theatre musicals and was in “A Cascade Christmas.” The brothers have earned the endorsement of Dawn Hess, who founded Kids Unlimited in 1988. “Over the 30 years that I directed Kids Unlimited, there are many wonderful students that stood out, that showed great passion for KU and for learning, performing and excelling in their art. But there are only a handful that eclipse all the others with their fervor and excitement for KU itself. Clayton, Kyle and Matt Thurmond are at the top of that short list,” Hess says. “They are the absolute best ones to reignite the program and infuse it with new energy and vitality.”• KU Reimagined • (562) 217-7525 • KUReimagined2020@gmail.com For more information or to register, find them on Facebook and Instagram

The only award that matters is SAVING LIVES North State residents can put their hearts at ease, knowing that the best cardiac care available is found right here at home. There is a misconception among some North State residents that the highest level of medical care available can only be achieved by leaving the area. Mercy Medical Center’s Cardiac Program is ushering in a change of hearts and minds where this notion is concerned. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in America. To meet a crucial need for cardiac care, Mercy Medical Center Redding (MMCR) offers 24/7 coverage to North State residents in varying stages of cardiac distress. The Cardiac Cath Lab was updated last year with the most advanced imaging technology available in Redding, aiding physicians in the most accurate navigation of the complex cardiac anatomy and assuring the best possible outcomes for patients. Dr. Eric Keyser, a fellowship-trained Cardiothoracic Surgeon with 20 years of surgery experience, was proudly welcomed to MMCR last year, as the Medical Director of Cardiovascular Surgery. Dr. Keyser, an Assistant Professor at Stanford University Medical Center, brings with him a roster of cardiac surgeries and a mastery of technologies that had not previously been available in Redding. Among the new offerings are Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

and Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation, a technology that can completely replace heart and lung function for a patient temporarily, buying them crucial time to receive the necessary care. Advanced Heart Valve Repair surgeries, often considered some of the most challenging, are the ones Dr. Keyser enjoys performing the most. “My greatest reward is seeing patients turn around quickly on what would otherwise have been a life-terminating disease. We treat each patient with a Heart Team approach and the services we offer are giving patients a new lease on life,” says Dr. Keyser. MMCR is a designated ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Receiving Center. STEMI cases are the most emergent cardiac cases, accounting for approximately 150 of the 350 heart attacks seen per year at MMCR. Dr. Nikita Gill is a fellowship-trained Interventional Cardiologist and Medical Director of Cardiology Services at MMCR. Dr. Gill performs 95% of all of her cardiac cases through the wrist, which allows patients to go home sooner and with less complications. “Some patients are too sick for open heart surgery. We

have the technology to get our patients through their most critical phases,” says Dr. Gill. Dr. Gill, recognized as one of the top five stent surgeons in the state of California, is firmly committed to caring for the North State community. “I love the place, the people and the life here. I knew right away that this was the place for me. I’ve never looked back,” says Dr. Gill. Dr. Alaeddin Ayyad and Dr. Emmanuel Papadakis, two additional fellowship trained Interventional Cardiologists, round out the MMCR Cardiology Call Team. Their support means that MMCR can offer a full range of treatments and care to its cardiac patients, day or night. “Having a program of this caliber requires a lot of commitment from a lot of people,” says Rosa Vicente-Soito, Director of the Cardiovascular Service Line at MMCR. “the cardiac surgeon, the cardiologists, the Cardiac Cath Lab staff, the Cardiovascular OR staff, the Cardiac ICU team, the hospital’s leadership, and so many other support services, all play an integral role in the success of the program,” says Vicente-Soito.

“The North State is a large geographic region and MMCR offers a vital service to our residents - many of whom could die while seeking medical services from hundreds of miles away. I see the absolute commitment of MMCR at the highest level, for the sickest patients,” says Dr. Keyser. This spring, Mercy Medical Center’s Cardiac Program will expand its service offerings to include Electro-Physiology Services, which will specifically address abnormal heart rhythms. It’s a service that has never been consistently available in Redding before.

With physicians and medical staff of this caliber, in a facility with technology this advanced, North State residents can put their hearts at ease, knowing that the best cardiac care available is to be found right here at home.

Cheers To 21 Years!

Disappearing Act is 21 years old! It is hard to believe, but 21 years ago I asked Jory if we could buy a hair removal laser (I had a goatee that I was sick of plucking). We were planning our wedding, I was in nursing school, and we wanted to have babies soon. Fortunately he said YES! So in January, 1999 we started Disappearing Act, literally by the hair of my chinny-chin chin! It has been an amazing ride full of ups and downs, good decisions and bad. Lots of education, and lots of connections. Thank you to the patients we have cherished over the years. We appreciate your trust and your loyalty. Thank you to the DA family, both current and past team members. What an ensemble we have! Jory and I couldn’t feel more proud and grateful. Much love to everyone!

CLEAR THE CLUTTER

BY MELISSA GULDEN

SPRING MAKEUP DECLUTTER

ADMIT IT: You have that one drawer in your bathroom (or maybe more than one) that looks like a beauty product cemetery. Dusty. Cluttered. Forgotten. Well, this is the time to declutter that mess. Don’t worry – I am not going to tell you to throw it all away, but you do need to know what is safe to keep and what should be tossed, pronto! First, assess what you’ve got. Lay everything out on a giant white sheet or towel. This clean background allows you to see the shades and textures of your makeup. Separate by category: skincare, makeup, hair care, then again by subcategory according to product type. If you haven’t used it in two years, toss it. Don’t lament over how much money you spent, just set it aside (more on what to do with those products later). Next, assess the quality of what is left. Any change in color, texture or smell is a telltale sign that it’s past its prime. If the color is separated on your nail polish, even after you

shake it, it’s time to get rid of it. Skincare products usually come with an expiration date, so anything expired should go, not only for hygiene purposes, but also for effectiveness. With makeup, it’s also for efficacy purposes – anything that’s dry, cracked or crumbly isn’t going to apply evenly. Once you purge the old stuff, look for multiples. How many pink lip glosses do you really need? Keep the one you grab for the most. Now that you’ve streamlined your stash, it’s time to organize it. Containers with clear, stackable drawers allow you to see what’s inside (try Caboodles or boxygirl.com). Separate your makeup according to face, eyes and lips, and then by size to keep everything tidy. Commit to a deep cleaning twice a year, at change of season when you’ll probably swap out your colors and skincare anyway. Now for when to toss what. 4 continued on page 52

Let’s start with concealer and foundation. Concealer has a shelf life of up to one year, while face powders can last up to two years (pressed and loose). Be more diligent about eyeliner, shadow and mascara. Your liner is one of the products to be most skeptical about – and never share with anyone. Pinkeye is no fun! Although the pencil version lasts up to three years, sharpen regularly to avoid bacteria. The twist-up versions should be tossed more regularly. Shadows can last up to three years, but change brushes after two. Mascara is the most important product to change out, and should be disposed every couple of months. The tube can harbor bacteria. Cream products, such as blush and lipstick, have a shorter lifespan and should be tossed after six months. But again, check for a change in smell or texture on a case-by-case basis. You can typically tell by their consistency once they’ve gone bad. To prolong the life of your lipstick, store it in the refrigerator. Nail polish is one of the easier products to determine whether it’s expired (typically one year, though it depends on the quality). We’ve all had those polishes that clump and no longer go on easily. To salvage polish, pour a little bit of polish remover into the bottle to thin it out. Just be careful not to add too much. As for brushes and sponges, sponges should be thrown out after a month. Sponges are meant to absorb, and they do exactly that. In the process, they absorb all kinds of bacteria. So even if you wash it after every use – as you are supposed to – it is not 100 percent clean. Just picture your kitchen sponge every time you apply your makeup and you’ll think twice. Makeup brushes, on the other hand, can be kept for a few years, as long as you are regularly cleaning them (wash with baby shampoo once a month and lay flat to dry.) Now what? Resist the urge to throw it all in the garbage. Donating these items is a great idea, but for hygiene reasons, the products must be unused. Check your local women’s shelters and churches for who has what needs. Much of what’s left over can be recycled, and some companies, like MAC, Kiehl’s and Lush even offer incentives for bringing back empties. So now you have room for all those new trends in beauty. Just be sure to keep up with the purging and organizing. After all, you didn’t do all of this work for nothing! • Melissa Gulden is a Redding native with an extensive background in the makeup and cosmetics industry.

Monkee

BUSINESS

ED HEFFELFINGER TEAMS UP WITH FORMER MONKEE MICHAEL NESMITH

THE BEATLES’ triumphant appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” already had young Ed Heffelfinger primed for a life in rock ‘n’ roll, even though a guitar just didn’t fit right in his hands. When The Monkees took network TV by storm a few years later, Heffelfinger had his true calling: the combination of music and video. “I was the perfect demographic for ‘The Monkees’ when they appeared,” the former Redding resident says, referring back to the TV show that aired from 1966 to 1968. Michael Nesmith, the wool capwearing guitarist in the made-for-TV band, was his favorite. Heffelfinger, a newly minted teenager at the time, became an avid reader of “Tiger Beat” magazine, bought some love beads and even started sporting a wool cap like his TV hero. Little did Heffelfinger know that, some 50 years later, he’d be working side-by-side with Nesmith and producing his latest record. Both performer and producer followed winding roads that culminated in the November 2019 release of “Cosmic Partners – The McCabe’s Tapes” on the London-based 7A Records label. The 17 tracks come from a serendipitous recording of a 1973 concert at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica that features Nesmith and his longtime pedal steel player, Red Rhodes. Heffelfinger, 67, never lost his childhood enthusiasm for music and video. At the ripe old age of 12, he had a radio show at Nova High School in Redding and by the time he turned 16 he was at the helm of fledgling public TV station KIXE’s first local production, “Experiment in Entertainment.” Heffelfinger recalls one program featured the Redding group Uncle Robert’s Magic Zap Juice Band, which counted among its members Rob Swendiman and Steve Gunner (who went on to play with Creedence Clearwater Revisited). Heffelfinger’s family moved from Redding after his sophomore year at Shasta High School and Heffelfinger graduated from Folsom High School near Sacramento before enlisting in the Army, where he did some more TV work. The American Film Institute in Hollywood was4 continued on page 56 MARCH 2020

next and Heffelfinger says he picked that film school because Nesmith served on its board of directors. Returning to Redding, Heffelfinger signed on with Kit Clements to produce shows for Redding’s community access TV station and later launched his own production company, complete with a nonprofit arm (Austin Pickers) that had him working with artists throughout the west. The studio fell victim to a rancorous divorce, but Heffelfinger stayed busy teaching video and photography classes at Shasta High. An opportunity to spend a year teaching cultural studies in China stretched into eight years before Heffelfinger returned in 2012 (retirement is mandatory at age 60 in China). After rekindling a friendship with the actor Branscombe Richmond, Heffelfinger signed on to do some public relations work for “Roadies,” a Showtime TV series that included Richmond in the cast. That one-season assignment allowed Heffelfinger to rub elbows with two of his heroes, producer Cameron Crowe and director J.J. Abrams. After settling his family into the Moss Landing home he inherited from his parents, Heffelfinger figured retirement was his next step. Fate had other plans, though. A native of Texas, Nesmith started dabbling in music while attending San Antonio College and got a little more serious after moving to Los Angeles in the early 1960s. It was while hanging out at the Troubadour, a West Hollywood hangout for emerging rock, country and bluegrass artists, that Nesmith heard about auditions for “The Monkees.” Legend has it that his nonchalant approach landed Nesmith the role of Mike. Unlike the other Monkees, Mike’s role required real-world musical talent, including the ability to write, sing, play guitar and perform. “The Monkees,” which was inspired by the Beatles film “A Hard Day’s Night,” was a huge hit, with audience reaction reaching Beatlemania levels at times thanks to hits like “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Last Train to Clarksville” and “Daydream Believer.” It was also a tumultuous time as the band members, and Nesmith in particular, rebelled against their “prefab four” images and fought for artistic integrity.

Nesmith, 77, pursued his varied interests, settled down and wrote an autobiography and continues to create at Videoranch, the studio he established near Monterey. Heffelfinger, who resides nearby, got word that he was looking for a videographer and the two connected last year.

To learn more about “Cosmic Partners—The McCabe Tapes” and other Michael Nesmith projects, visit www.videoranch3d.com

As the series neared its end, Nesmith returned to his earlier roots and founded the First National Band, a group often described as the pioneers of country-rock music. Also in the ’70s, Nesmith began trying his hand as a producer and developed a keen interest in combining music with video. When Island Records asked him to create a promotional video for his single “Rio,” he responded with a short film filled with fanciful images of women in fruit hats and Nesmith floating through space. The concept of a music video had been born and Nesmith was off to the races. He envisioned a syndicated TV show dedicated to music videos, called it “PopClips” and ultimately sold the idea to Warner Bros. Television in 1981 and MTV was created. Fittingly, MTV rebroadcast “The Monkees’ series. Nesmith, 77, pursued his varied interests, settled down and wrote an autobiography and continues to create at Videoranch, the studio he established near Monterey. Heffelfinger, who resides nearby, got word that he was looking for a videographer and the two connected last year. For a kid from Redding, getting to work with a musical hero has been the latest in a string of million-dollar moments, Heffelfinger says. “By now I’m a billionaire.” • Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 37 years of experience.

A 1,500-DEGREE GLOB of glowing glass can be transformed into something of function and beauty – a vase, tumbler, bowl. Then again, it might flop to the floor and end up a bungled blob. Working with molten glass is tricky. Shasta College in Redding teaches hot-glass skills through a unique program that goes back 50 years. Its longevity is matched by only one other California community college glass program. Shasta College offers three glass classes: beginning glass, glass blowing and sculptural glass. Students reflect a mix of ages and interests. Some pursue glass skills as part of a degree or career plan, others as a hobby. Kayla Gitchel enrolled at Shasta College after high school with no specific educational goal. A friend talked her into taking a glass class. “My first dip in the furnace, I was sold,” she says. “It is so challenging.” After earning her associate’s degree, Gitchel transferred to Chico State University where she’s in her third semester working toward a bachelor’s degree in studio art with an emphasis in glass art. She plans to build on that with a master of fine arts. “I really want to teach,” she says. Shasta College nursing student Aida Kowalski took a glass class as an elective because it sounded fun. “It’s a lot harder than I thought. There’s a lot of problem-solving. You have to think fast. Once it clicks, it’s the best feeling ever.” Robbie Ednilao, a high school sophomore taking the class as part of an independent study program, likes learning “exactly what the glass4 continued on page 60

“It’s mesmerizing,” Gentry says. “It’s like a dance. You are timing everything. It has to go from the right place at the right time.”

will do and how to control it.” Ednilao also likes that glassblowing is something not a lot of people know how to do. Mark Grant, a retired home builder, enrolled to try something new. “When you are blowing glass, you are totally in the moment, you can’t think of anything else. I love it,” he says. Instructor David Gentry says hot-glass classes are not a typical community college offering. “I’ve had students come from Alaska and Wyoming to take classes here – pretty much all over the place.” Unlike creating a drawing, painting or sculpture that can be worked on over hours, days or months, making something with hot, viscous glass is immediate. It demands speed and quick reactions. “It’s mesmerizing,” Gentry says. “It’s like a dance. You are timing everything. It has to go from the right place at the right time.” Chris Unger is the program’s instructional paraprofessional, assisting in the hot shop where students use blow pipes, punty rods, furnaces, molds and ovens. His passion for glassmaking started 10 years ago when he took a class from Gentry. “I’ve been hooked ever since,” Unger says. He transferred to San Jose State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in studio art, and then got the paraprofessional job. He also has a small business, Unger Glass. Safety is a priority in the Shasta College program. Students are required to learn protocols before they can work in the hot shop. Some of the equipment goes back to the program’s earliest days. Clif Sowder started the glass program in the late 1960s. Palomar College in Southern California launched a hot-glass program at the same time. In that era there were few options for purchasing glass furnaces, so Sowder led the students in building their own. “There was so much enthusiasm from the students. I always had a great gang hanging around wanting to work on all sorts of projects,” Sowder says. The glassmaking facility “wasn’t much more than an open shed to keep the rain off of us as we worked.” Many of the early students were Vietnam War veterans, Sowder notes. Creating art with glass can be therapeutic. It encourages creativity, as well as mindfulness, patience and resilience. “I can’t possibly imagine all the way it changes situations. It’s pretty amazing. I’m just proud of what the students involved in that program were able to go on and contribute in the world of glass and art and their own creative energies,” Sowder says. Shasta College glass students have opened studios, become teachers and gotten jobs in glass production. Sowder led the glass program for more than three decades. He also taught photography. When he retired in 2004, the glass classes ended. Gentry was hired in 2006 to teach ceramics, sculpture and art history. After arriving, he noticed the mothballed hot shop and learned the history of the glass program. Gentry, who has a background in glass art, including a master of fine arts in glass, pushed to bring the program back. It was revived in 2007. “I think Shasta College is unique for offering this medium. Hopefully it will be around for a long time to come,” Gentry says. •

Rock On Dennis Shasta College Knight

After high school, I entered the Air Force and became a Loadmaster on C-130 cargo aircraft. I eventually retired after a great career of traveling all over the world. As a civilian, I worked several unfulfilling jobs until I realized I was going nowhere and needed to go back to school. At 48 years old, I was not your typical 20-something college student! I used my Veterans Administration disability and enrolled at Shasta College where I met professors like Randy Reed who made all the difference in my life and my career. I graduated from Shasta College with an Associate of Arts in Geology and I went on to graduate from CSU, Chico with honors and a bachelor’s in Geology. My first job after

graduation involved doing everything from cutting down brush to planting and watering trees. If you find yourself with a diploma in one hand and a shovel in the other, you are on the right path! Within two years of graduation, I landed my current full-time position as the Forest Geologist in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. My “office” encompasses over 2.1 million acres and contains nearly every type of geology there is. It takes about five hours to drive from one side of the Forest to the other side. The education and training I received in the Earth Sciences Department at Shasta College gave me the skills I needed for the career I have today. If you’re starting a new journey in life, Shasta College is the perfect place to begin.

AS THE LONGEST running family-owned business in Mount Shasta, Ramshaw’s Ace Hardware has been serving the community from its same downtown location for 75 years. “With hardware stores, when the economy is doing well, people are building and growing. When the economy is struggling a bit, people are fixing, so hardware stores are always kind of a necessity for communities,” explains Bill Ramshaw, whose grandparents, Harold and Bea Ramshaw, founded the store back on August 6, 1945 – the same day, Ramshaw notes, “the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.”

But history and hardware stores go hand in hand, their quotidian spaces having long shaped their communities – especially in rural America. Their roots were planted with the frontier trading post as it evolved to the general store, then blossomed into “hardware” in the early 20th century as proprietors dispensed with the “soft” wares like textiles and food. These days, in an age of online shopping and disposable gadgets, there’s something to be said for a stick-and-mortar experience that delivers eye contact and a do-it-yourself ethos.4 continued on page 66

“The thing about hardware is that you’re always helping people. You’re helping them figure out their projects, you’re helping them fix their faucet. It’s very satisfying.” A lifelong resident of Mount Shasta, Ramshaw has seen it evolve from a mill town to what he describes as more of a “tourist destination.” He explains that while the transformation has reflected some changes in the store’s inventory, the philosophy has remained the same since day one: serve the community. “We have a strong connection with our community, our customers and our employees, who we basically see as our extended family. It’s kind of funny, but you can walk around Mount Shasta and if you talk to 10 people who are long-time citizens, at least a couple of them have probably worked at the store at one time or another or have a family member who has.” In fact, one of Ramshaw’s employees, Norm, has been working at the hardware store since 1968 – back when Ramshaw’s father, Eldon, still ran it. “If you ask anyone in town about hardware and Norm, it will put a smile on their face. He knows more than anyone around here. As a young man, Ramshaw always knew he wanted to run the store. “I saw where my father made a nice life for himself. You work hard, but you get good returns and there are a lot of rewards other than

money.” Whether his own children will be the next generation to take over, Ramshaw doesn’t know. “We want our kids to follow their dreams rather than pushing our dreams onto them. But I have a nephew working for me right now, so you never know.” For now, Ramshaw is content knowing some of the store’s most lasting impacts go far deeper than the nuts and bolts needed for physical repairs. He recalls the story of one former employee who returned several years later to thank Ramshaw for having given her a job when she lacked skill and confidence. “She came up to me and said, ‘Thank you. I just bought a house and that’s because you always believed in me.’ That’s pretty fulfilling, you know?” • Ramshaw Ace Hardware 328 N.

V I C H A N N A N ’ S O N E - STO P L A N D S C A P I N G S H O P

WHEN YOU MIX cement powder with rock, sand or gravel, you get concrete, used as a solid foundation for anything from a retaining wall to a house. When you mix rock, sand and gravel with Vic Hannan, you get Vic Hannan Landscape Materials, a bedrock business that’s been supplying contractors and homeowners from its Anderson yard location for 28 years. And when you mix all of the above with 42 years of experience in sand, gravel and rock supply, you end up with a landscaping expert managing the largest California supply yard this side of Sacramento. “People wish there was someone they could ask about their projects,” says Hannan, seated in his back office. “I take questions all the time, give technical advice. I keep plans on a lot of projects that I give out for free, so someone who wants to do it himself can get the job done for, say, $300 instead of having to pay $3,000.” Hannan’s expertise shows as he describes a couple of the more popular products he sells. For example, to make one of

his custom soils, he starts with sandy loam and mixes in organic mushroom compost. “That’s the most evenly balanced compost on the market,” he says. “Put it down as-is and people can grow 10-foot tomato plants out of it.” Hannan emphasizes that every ingredient in his soils is natural. “I don’t use any kind of chemical in anything I mix,” he declares. In his front office, Hannan runs his hands through samples of pebble, a wide variety of gravel and decorative rock from as far away as Mexico. He hauls up to 10 cubic yards at a time from San Francisco in his own trucks. “A cubic yard of pebble will weigh 1.35 tons, or about 2,800 to 2,900 pounds. It “I DON’T USE depends on the density,” he says. ANY KIND OF “And you can legally haul 80,000 CHEMICAL IN pounds down the highway.” ANYTHING Hannan delivers orders with his I M I X .” fleet as well, using a dump truck with4 continued on page 70

a transfer trailer, which he says is more agile than a semi. “You can’t get a big rig up those back roads in Eureka,” he explains. “I can haul it up there and dump it in their driveway cheaper than them buying it locally.” For his own uses, he prefers Pami pebble from Missoula, Mont., which he adds to concrete to make “exposed aggregate,” for example, stepping stones with a raised pebble surface for better traction or artistic expression. These are cast on-site in latex molds within a tented facility in the yard. Out in the yard you see the full scale of Vic Hannan Landscape Materials. To get around quickly, he’ll take you on a golf cart, and from a far corner of the nearly 15-acre yard you’ll see the distant office building dwarfed by a field of rows and rows of rocks. Hannan points out flat rocks, round rocks, rough volcanic rocks and – his favorites – beautifully layered onyx boulders, strapped to pallets that bow from the weight. Yes, favorites. For out in the yard, Hannan reveals a fondness for these rocks, perhaps a bit surprising to find in a long-time landscape materials dealer. “Sometimes I like a rock because it is unique. There’s no rock like it anywhere else,” he shares. “I like things that are different. It’s part of the enjoyment of the business for me.” If those are the words of a rock collector, Hannan has amassed the biggest rock collection you’ll see in these parts. You’ll also see sheet rock, retaining wall, pavers, statues – even lightweight, realistic rubber rocks for your pond or waterfall. It’s clear the owner and staff at Vic Hannan Landscape Materials have strived to provide a one-stop stockpile for anyone’s landscaping needs, be they contractor or do-ityourself homeowner. Despite its vast yard of stones, Hannan’s is a small business, employing a half-dozen yard personnel, drivers and a bookkeeper. His wife of seven years, Kelly, greets customers at the counter. She says her relationship with Hannan really opened her eyes to the smaller things in life. “When I started helping out, I had no clue I’d be selling rocks,” she says with a laugh. “It was a learning process. You grow up thinking it’s just dirt and rocks on the ground. But there’s more to it than that.” What Hannan likes most about his more than four decades of landscaping provision and consulting is the feedback of appreciation he receives from his customers, looking back at hundreds of them, some returning long after their projects were completed. “Just having them come in and tell about their satisfaction, that’s your reward.” He says he always keeps himself prepared for new questions, and he’s envisioned a strategy for preserving all he’s learned over the decades. “I still read up on all the technology, online and reading articles, but it’s getting harder to remember,” he says with a laugh. “Sometimes I wish I could just connect myself to a computer and download myself.” • Vic Hannan Landscape Materials 7086 Highway 273 • Anderson (530) 243-3037 • www.vichannan.com Monday-Friday, 7 am-5 pm Saturday, 7 am-4pm Closed Sunday

CLEAR THE CLUTTER

CAUSES OF CLUTTER THE CULPRITS OF D I S O R G A N I Z AT I O N

BY CLAUDIA MOSBY

YEARS AGO, I had a friend (like me) who gathered information on interesting causes, projects and opportunities that eventually found its way into a paper stack somewhere in her home. In conversation, she often joked about “our piles.” Those plural piles, however, extended beyond the “we” to me: I almost always had a pile of something on my kitchen counter, bedroom floor and kitchen table. Sometimes those piles were categorically organized (books, bills); sometimes not. Admittedly, organizing my space has been a lifelong struggle. Disorganization creates clutter, whether in the form of paper piles or a hodge-podge of other items strewn about the house, stored in the garage, attic or closet. But understanding and addressing the root cause(s) of disorganization can make the difference between success and failure when attempting to implement decluttering solutions long-term. The Institute for Challenging Disorganization defines chronic disorganization as persistent, recurrent and corrosive to one’s quality of life. In other words, try as we might, we just cannot single-handedly “fix” it. The causes of chronic disorganization vary, as do the remedies, and include brain-based conditions, beliefs about oneself/possessions and situational circumstances. Traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are only a few of the neurological/ neurodevelopmental conditions that can make organization challenging. In my own case, untreated Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder led to repeated battles that ended in defeat. Once identified and properly treated, my ability to plan, prioritize and organize improved. Self-acceptance, commitment to new disciplines and patience have been key.4 continued on page 74

“YOU MAY START A PROJECT BUT BE UNABLE TO FINISH IT,” HE SAYS “OR YOU MAY BE FORGETFUL AND INEFFECTIVE.”

Other neurological factors include physical and cognitive changes that accompany aging, learning style differences, information-processing deficits, and emotional and behavioral patterns. Emotional attachment, in particular, drives many of us to keep our spaces cluttered with more than we need or have room to store. Such attachment may arise from a neurological cause, or from the beliefs that we hold. When guilt, money and/or fear of future scarcity attach themselves to our relationship with our “stuff,” emotions can drive us blindly. “When you receive a present, your duty is to receive it and thank the giver – not keep it forever,” says interior designer Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan. In such cases, we might ask ourselves honestly whether we like an item, need it or meaningfully use it before deciding to keep it. Similarly, if we’re overly sentimental or ridden with guilt at the thought of parting with items inherited from loved ones, we may want to examine the roots of our attachment. Randy Frost, a professor of psychology at Smith College, suggests we ask ourselves, “How many things do I really need to honor this person’s memory?” Maybe we believe some of those inherited items have value (think “Antiques Roadshow”), so we hang onto them until someday when we get around to verifying whether our assumption is correct. Or, perhaps we’re afraid of letting go of something we might need in the future. In either case, an honest self-appraisal and/or the aid of a professional can help us move beyond procrastination and/or fear. Sometimes we confront or create situations that disable our organizational ability. According to the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, these include physical challenges, life crises and transitions, communication problems, lack of skills, environmental and systemic factors and our personal choices. Grief counselor Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., says disorganization, confusion and an inability to complete

www.EnjoyMagazine.com MARCH 2020

tasks is common following loss. “You may start a project but be unable to finish it,” he says, “or you may be forgetful and ineffective.” When accompanied by the fatigue and lack of initiative common during bereavement, clutter may result. If not taught in school or at home how to organize our space, we may feel overwhelmed with how and where to begin. If mobility is impaired, we may not have the strength to lift or move items to their proper place. If overscheduled, we create a time deficit, time needed for clearing and organizing our space. Whether related to our brains, beliefs and/or situational factors, help and hope are available to those of us unable to single-handedly win the war with clutter. • Note: The resources are for informational purposes only.

BY VIVA DOWNTOWN AND THE ENJOY TEAM

D E TA I L S

WHAT’S GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN REDDING? REDDING CULTURAL DISTRICT Did you know Downtown was a part of an official state-designated cultural district? The district was originally formed by the Shasta County Arts Council, City of Redding, Turtle Bay, Viva Downtown and the Shasta Historical Society with assistance from the McConnell Foundation. The Redding Cultural District is featured by the State Department of Tourism to attract travelers from around the world to Redding, which was named one of 14 cultural districts by the California Arts Council in 2017. “We have a great opportunity here,” says John Truitt, Viva Downtown’s director. “We have a district that the state is telling travelers to come see. If there’s an arts group or business in the region, this district is the place to set up shop.” With nearly 70 public art sites and more than 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops within the district, there’s a wide range of activities: Food cultivation and dining; music production and consumption; microbrewing and wine tasting; theater, dance, cycling, scholarship and education; art, and outdoor explorations. Regional, national and international performing artists frequent the historic Cascade Theatre and Redding Civic Auditorium, while the Carter House Gallery, Old City Hall and Turtle Bay Exploration Park feature art and cultural installations. The California Arts Council supports an initial group of districts that meet high standards of coherence, vision and purpose. For more information, vist www.reddingculturaldistrict.org.

HERE’S THE BLAKEDOWN

Blake Fisher Viva Downtown Program Coordinator

Downtown Redding is a happening place! With more opportunities to support live music, grab a drink, shop local and support the arts, wouldn’t it be nice to have an app that organizes everything you can experience Downtown? Well, do I have something for you! Get out your phone, go to the app store and download the free app Distrx. Distrx creates an efficient way to check out local cuisine, family shops, art galleries, shows, maker spaces, areas to park and special events in Downtown Redding. The app not only is a great way to find out what to do in our Downtown, but in other districts in the country, as well. Just turn on your location services while using the app and Distx will set you up to feel like a local wherever you are. If you have a downtown business or event to add to Distrx, contact Blake at Viva Downtown – brf1415@yahoo.com or (530) 243-7773

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Redding Fashion Alliance: In the heart of downtown is a heart for fashion. Local makers and designers can find space for sewing and fashion design, a classroom space and equipment, and a conference room at the Redding Fashion Alliance headquarters. The fashion-inspired nonprofit Executive Director, Jan Kearns organization believes that by fostering the creative economy, they can improve quality of life on a local level. Their goal is to increase living wage jobs within the North State by offering more opportunities in the design and production of high-quality apparel, accessories and textile-based products. They host several events throughout the year to achieve this; the most popular is Redding Fashion Week, featuring the Fashion Show Gala. 1698 Market Street • (530) 276-0458 www.reddingfashionalliance.org

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Damburger: At age 18, Bud Pennington began selling hamburgers, a slice of pie and a cup of coffee for 25 cents from a tent outside the hiring hall for the construction of Shasta Dam. Bud’s successful enterprise led to a permanent location in Downtown Redding, making Damburger’s history date back more than 80 years. Today, Damburger is owned and run by sisters Julie Malik and Nell Cox, daughters of Ron and Kathy Dickey, who purchased the business in 1979 and ran it for 26 years before retiring. The burger joint has successfully held its present location since 1962, serving several generations of loyal customers with “the best hamburger by a dam site.” 1320 Placer Street • (530) 241-0136 • www.damburger.net Sisters and co-owners Nell Cox and Julie Malik

HOW DO OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS MEASURE UP ON THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD?

Now is the season we hear families talking a lot about their schools and the school they’ll be attending next year. Reach Higher Shasta encourages families to become familiar with the public data available for all schools in California. The California School Dashboard contains reports that display the performance of districts, schools and student groups on a set of state and local measures. These reports help schools and districts identify strengths and areas for growth. School stakeholders appreciate the fact that schools are no longer measured by their students’ test scores. The Elementary and Middle School Dashboards provide performance scores for Chronic Absenteeism, Suspension Rates, English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high school dashboard measures Graduation, Suspension, College & Career Readiness, English Language Arts and Mathematics. Check out your school’s dashboard at www.caschooldashboard.org We encourage families to view a video about the dashboard at this link bit.ly/quickintrotodashboard. See how your school is performing as compared to the state average for each of the measures below.

finding hope H E A L I N G A N D R E S TO R AT I O N W I T H H O P E C I T Y R E D D I N G WHERE MOST communities see crime and wrongdoing as burdens left for the justice system to tackle alone, one North State organization views such burdens as opportunities. HOPE City Redding imagines communities that approach conflict as an opportunity for healing and restoration rather than a burden. By interweaving a mindset of reconciliation through restorative justice practices, the Redding nonprofit believes communities will begin to experience a positive shift. The team puts its vision into practice with passionate volunteer efforts. Volunteers are helping to shape a community of people who are equipped to work with others in bringing healing and restoration, and are giving people who have committed wrong the chance to make things right. These efforts use constructive, creative problem solving to reach agreements in order to repair broken relationships and rebuild community. HOPE City Redding’s efforts surface in volunteers through those who mentor at the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility; act as program developers for schools, families and the criminal justice system; and implement the restorative justice process as a whole. The nonprofit has also paired with local schools to offer classes that provide students with a culture of honor while teaching effective communication and conflict resolution tactics. By implementing said values, students develop mediation skills that carry into all aspects of life, such as family, career and community. Since pairing with local schools in Shasta Lake City and Anderson, HOPE City Redding has expanded these restorative practices by offering multiple classes whose goals are to give youth the

means to excel. Students have shown a positive reception to the curriculum, finding their newfound knowledge to be both helpful and beneficial to their own emotional wellbeing. One class is Respect Integrity Service Excellence (RISE), where students are required to take part in a service to their city as part of the curriculum. A RISE class from Anderson has chosen to redevelop their school’s unused garden space into a functioning food garden that doubles as a space for fellowship. Another group of students from Mountain Lakes High School collaborated with Shasta Lake City to create a new mural on the outer wall of Sunshine Market, which can be seen from Shasta Dam Boulevard. HOPE City Redding’s other class, titled “My Justice Journey,” focuses on identifying childhood trauma and how to overcome it. This inspires children to build resilience, promotes healing and helps solidify a view of self-worth. Change starts as an idea, but to become tangible it needs actions, and HOPE City Redding is taking the actions necessary for local communities to experience a better tomorrow. • www.hopecityredding.com
