LIFE CHANGING “Getting the opportunity to see Yosemite for the first time, not as a typical tourist, but as a student on a guided trip, learning along the way, was truly a gift that I will never forget! Great memories, students, chaperones, instructors, facilities, and program!” North State student The McConnell Foundation is celebrating 30 years of its NatureBridge in Yosemite Program. Each spring, the Foundation sends more than 100 students from North State high schools to spend a transformative week in Yosemite National Park exploring, learning and connecting to the natural world, as well as strengthening interpersonal relationships and skills. The Foundation provides full funding for student tuition, transportation, administration and adult chaperones. Students complete eight hours of community service related to the environment prior to their trip. Students have volunteered at organizations such as the Shasta County Wildlife Refuge, Whiskeytown Environmental School, Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the Department of Fish and Wildlife. They have also cleaned roadways and established recycling programs in their schools. The goal of the community service requirement is to connect students to their community and the earth. “This was the most fun, best, life changing experience of my entire life. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Keep changing people’s lives!!” North State student

editor’s note APRIL 2020

BUCKLE UP – it’s time for rodeos, roadsters and road trips! The Red Bluff Round-Up is celebrating year 99, and the legacy continues to make its mark as one of the best rodeos in the country. If you prefer your entertainment on four wheels, Kool April Nites is coming right up. The eight-day extravaganza honors automobiles while raising big bucks for youth in our community. Are the longer days inspiring you to hit the road? Indulge that wanderlust with an adventure of your own creation. It doesn’t matter if you’re rolling solo, with a friend or with a car full of kids – we’ve got some tips for planning the perfect trip. Spring break is right around the corner! Meanwhile, we’re tipping our caps to Ty Bos, a local businessman who has found it in his heart to rebuild guitars for children who lost theirs in the Carr Fire. So far, he’s received and refurbished seven guitars, and found new homes for them in the hands of grateful budding musicians. Big things continue to happen downtown, and we’re thrilled to have a front-row seat. Follow the brand-new signs to a public parking lot, check out the construction and stroll through some of the businesses that already make Downtown Redding a special place to be. We’re proud to be part of this collaborative community. Enjoy!

my town:

something for everyone DUSTIN LAUF - REDDING Regional Supervisor, CNUC

When my parents arrived in Redding in 1982, they never thought a random place off Interstate 5 would become home. Fast forward 38 years; when I talk about my hometown, I’m filled with pride, picture great beauty and think of my loved ones. Growing up here, I never imagined living elsewhere. Our town has everything that larger cities have without the hustle and bustle of big city life. You can still drive down back roads and receive a wave from a passerby. There are friendly people, numerous restaurants, breweries and new events popping up weekly. Redding is a prime location for anyone who wants to take in picturesque scenery by driving in any direction, visiting the Sundial Bridge or the historic Cascade Theatre. This “little” town has everything an outdoor enthusiast could ask for: lakes, rivers, mountains and an evergrowing trail system. These places just scratch the surface. We have amazing mountain bike trails for all ability levels. You can ride from downtown all the way to Shasta or Whiskeytown lakes on your choice of pavement or dirt. While you’re out there check out “French Fry” and “Special Sauce” – you’ll thank me later. Another iconic Redding experience, Kool April Nites, only comes once a year and brings with it many fond memories. In the early years, I was a spectator when it used to wind through the streets of downtown until it outgrew that area. Now we’re graced with a nice loop of classic cars down Hilltop, Dana, Churn Creek and Cypress on Friday night followed by the show on Saturday. I was fortunate enough to participate with a car of my own and know there’s nothing like rolling back the clocks to the muscle car era when leaving a little rubber on the road was a rite of passage. Now I sit on the sidewalks with my family, reminisce and watch the joy on my nephews’ faces as cars rev and rumble past. With all the joys and experiences that Redding has to offer, the best thing for me is my family. I am lucky to be surrounded by them, having them here to help my wife and me raise our daughter in an area that we both love. We look forward to watching her enjoy the things that has made this our home. There have been plenty of opportunities to leave, but for many reasons we have decided to stay. I am proud to call Redding my town.

BUCKLE UP

BY KIMBERLY BONEY

M A K I N G T H E M O S T O F T H E O P E N R OA D WANDERLUST IS a real thing. It’s a deep, impenetrable sense of desire to travel. Some may even call it a need. Those who are unrelentingly drawn to the open road – where they will undoubtedly meet with new places, people and experiences – are keenly aware that a road trip might be the cheapest and most readily accessible cure for the travel bug. The same unpredictability that can leave us excited to see what gem is around the next corner is what could leave us stranded in a strange town overnight – and there’s something oddly enchanting about that. The perfect road trip is a balancing act between planning and spontaneity. Let us show you how to strike that balance. ROAD TRIP LIKE A BOSS 1. First things first. Is your vehicle up to snuff to make the trip? It’s all fun and games until your car decides to sputter and die on a lonely road with no cell reception. When in doubt, rent a car. The cost to rent one might be cheaper than the cost to get your own vehicle road-ready – and you won’t have to worry about wear and tear on your personal vehicle. Find a reputable car rental agency with locations dotted along your path of travel, for added peace of mind. Ask for any applicable discounts, including those who hold AAA and Costco memberships. Take the car for a spin before you set out on your destination to make sure it’s in tip-top condition.

2. Is this a family trip, one you are taking with your honey or your bestie, or are you in for a solo ride? Knowing who will be rolling with you will help you determine a realistic destination, where you’ll stop along the way, and how many hours you can reasonably drive in a day. Most of all, it’ll help you set the tone for your trip. Traveling with kids requires a bit more planning, a lot more patience and will likely add to the length of the trip in bathroom and play breaks alone. Traveling with another adult is a great way to bond and helps to offset costs and shorten driving time, if the other adult is willing to absorb some behind-the-wheel hours. Solo travel can be an exhilarating adventure, but make sure to keep safety and extra cash at the forefront of your mind. 3. Map it out. Plug your destination into your smart phone but bring a paper map along for the ride, in case you hit a spot without a proper signal. Figure out some of the coolest things to do along your route, bearing in mind that your stops may be contingent upon who is on the trip with you. If you’ve got three kids in tow, it’s ill-advised to commit to a bar-hopping tour or a casino run, but a meal at a restaurant famous for its grilled cheese or a candy factory tour might make everyone happy. Leave some space in between for the cool, unexpected opportunities that may come your way.4 continued on page 18

4. Flexibility is key. Road trips are more fun when you go with the flow. Be open to the adventure that comes. Room availability will vary between seasons, so pre-book during peak times. But you may even opt to pass on the pre-determined hotel reservations, in case you decide to take a detour to another cool attraction or you find yourself with a second wind and want to make more headway on your trip. Stop at the local fruit stand, linger a few more moments at a stellar vista point, savor each bite of that buffalo burger and take the time to snag an Insta-worthy shot at the quirky spot along the route. The journey is just as important as the destination. 5. Don’t feel pressured to stop at places that don’t appeal to you. If museums aren’t your thing or you get carsick on winding roads, it’s OK to bypass something everyone raves about to ensure everyone is happy with the takeaway. This is your trip and the memories you make should make you smile – not roll your eyes. Asking your social media circle for recommendations is a great way to get a unique cross section of ideas, which can help you separate the must-dos from the no-thankyous. If you want to find the gems that will make your trip special, keep an open heart and follow your sense of adventure. Chances are the gems will find you that way. 6. Downtime is not overrated. Travel can be hard on the body. Be sure to get adequate sleep on the road. It’s important not to overcommit when it comes to your daily driving time. Six to eight hours of driving time is generally a reasonable measure. Driving while you are tired is nearly as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It’s not worth the risk. Taking a day or two along the trip to rest isn’t a waste of time. It’s an opportunity to give yourself and your co-travelers a chance to truly appreciate the journey. Life is more fun when we aren’t tired and grumpy.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com APRIL 2020

7. Eat healthily. Sure, there will be delicious food along the way. From hole-in-the-wall spots to restaurants with Michelin star rating and everything in between, it’s important to enjoy good food on your trip. But it’s just as important to eat food you know won’t make you sick. If you adhere to a gluten-free diet when you aren’t traveling, stick to the same program when you are. Getting sick is exponentially harder when you aren’t in your own space. Research some restaurants that can accommodate your dietary needs. Pack healthy snacks and plenty of bottled water to keep cases of “the hangries” and dehydration to a minimum. 8. Make your memories work for you. If you are a writer, take 15 minutes a day to journal about the places and people you’ve encountered. If photography is your thing, seek out the places you can’t wait to capture on film. If you are truly drawn to the souvenir that is the quintessential representation of the place you are visiting, take it home, but you certainly aren’t bound by tradition here. A rare book from a quirky, local bookstore or a cool vintage record from an artist you’ve always wanted to check out are viable souvenirs, too. Buy handmade pieces from local artists whenever possible. The connection that you make with the people you meet is a gift, too. Your souvenir doesn’t have to have the name of the town emblazoned on it to make it something you’ll love for a lifetime. 9. Trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, it isn’t. Our base level instincts are in place for a reason. Those fight-or-flight responses and even those subtle whispers in our hearts can protect us from harmful situations. Always make sure a family member or friend who isn’t traveling with you knows where you are (at least approximately) along the route of your trip – particularly if you are traveling solo. 10. Last, but not least: leave nothing visible in the car to encourage would-be thieves. If you must leave items in the car, be sure they are well hidden away in the trunk, glove compartment, console or under the seat. Use dark-colored blankets to cover your luggage. Whenever possible, keep your vehicle within your line of vision and always lock your doors. If you will be sleeping in your vehicle, be sure to move it during the day so as not to create the ideal circumstance for someone to steal your belongings while you are off adventuring.4 continued on page 20

KO O L A P R I L N I T E S G I V E S B AC K IT’S APRIL in Redding, and you know what that means – here comes Kool April Nites. We’re talking an eight-day extravaganza celebrating automobiles – show and shines, live music, an oldfashioned street cruise and an all-day car show at the Redding Civic Auditorium, capped by the awards ceremony. Kool April Nites’ board of directors has organized and executed this massive event every year for most of the past 30 years. One little-

known fact about Kool April Nites, according to Board President Debra Fox, is that entire event is a not-for-profit presentation, at least for not for profiting Kool April Nites. All of those entry fees, ticket revenues and raffle dollars go back to the community. “We have no employees. We need 450 to 500 volunteers to pull this off,” she says. “The board members don’t get paid. We all have full-time jobs.”4 continued on page 24 APRIL 2020

To date, Kool April Nites has raised and distributed funds reaching a total just shy of a kool

$1 million.

Back to the community, in this case, means grants split among some two dozen North State organizations dedicated to bettering the lives of children. Among these are schools, academic programs, law enforcement and military youth programs, a court assistance program, Boy Scouts Troop 125 and Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Arboretum. To date, Kool April Nites has raised and distributed funds reaching a total just shy of a kool $1 million. And look at all you get for your contribution. Beginning Saturday, April 18, dozens of show and shines appear all over the region, where owners line up their prized automotive classics, pop the hoods and invite thousands of car enthusiasts to salivate. Many of the offerings are amateur projects, an owner’s daily drive lovingly restored to original. But you’ll find some rad mods out there, too, gems like last year’s ‘59 Caddy, ‘48 Buick Roadmaster and ‘37 Ford Roadster, named “Venom.” The final three Kool April Nites build to crescendo, revving up Friday, April 24 with The Cruise, as much fun for the throngs of spectators as it is for the registered drivers, who parade their prized rides through Redding. Sponsors Director Jennifer Fontana says some businesses along the route hold their own mini-events, such as beer bargains, prize giveaways or live music performances by local bands.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com APRIL 2020

And be prepared for crowds. “The whole town kind of stops,” Fontana explains. “Every hotel, every restaurant fills up. A lot of people come in from out of town. Last year we had almost 1,200 out-of-town registrants, so it brings in millions of dollars of business for the city.” Saturday it’s the Big Show, where 2,000 cars line up at the Civic Auditorium and many, many more locals and out-oftowners flow in at the gate to see them. Inside you will find the classics, the specialty cars, with the rest outside on the grass, mixed with motor-headed vendors and food booths and the last of three days of live music sets. Sunday, for the finale, it’s back to the auditorium for the awards ceremony, where approximately 100 prizes are announced. “Our categories can vary from air cooled to VWs to slick sled to hottest Mustang – we even have one named ‘Hot Hot Hot,’” says Awards Director Ryan Dorosz. “It is just fun categories.” All three of these Kool April Nites board members know something about fun with cars. Dorosz, the latecomer of this trio, first heard about the big car week in Redding when he enrolled at Shasta College. He entered his 1969 Camaro, which holds a special meaning for him. 4 continued on page 26

“I have such a passion for muscle cars,” he says, looking back to his high school days. “Classic cars are very personal for me. My dad and I worked on them every weekend together. It brought us very close in our relationship. I enjoyed spending time with him, plus having the goal of imagining what this car was going to be when it was finished.” Fontana and Fox both grew up with Kool April Nites. Fontana trekked in from Trinity County with her family when a little girl; her first memories of the event are of candy being tossed her way during The Cruise. For Fox, it was a hometown happening. “My father built his first roadster when he was 14,” she recalls. “We had hot rods and classic cars in our garage all my life.” All three also see their volunteer involvement as board members as a way of giving back to the organization that brought them so much joy. And they strive to keep Kool April Nites running the way it has always run, with a nod to all the hard work of the boards before them. Kool April Nites debuted in Redding in 1989. After seeing a car show in Oakland, five friends put their heads together to figure out how to make it happen here, recalls Barbara Harrison, wife of Randy Harrison, one of those guys. “At first, it was only one weekend.

Fox, who’s been pitching in for nine years, has served on the board for four. As president, she says she wants to emphasize how Kool April Nites gives to youth in the community beyond grants to their support organizations. “The youth of today, they are the ones who are going to inherit these cars. They need the knowledge and the background of these cars,” she says. “We are trying to give them the love of rebuilding these cars, and it’s catching on. Kids are getting excited about doing this again.”• www.koolaprilnites.com

for need speed FA S T T I M E S AT T H E R E D D I N G D R A G S T R I P KOOL APRIL NITES and the Redding Dragstrip are a match made in hot rod heaven. The car show, one of the biggest on the west coast and now in its 31st year, brings the classics and cruisers to town; the Redding Dragstrip, the oldest continuously operated National Hot Rod Association dragstrip in the country, gives those cars and drivers a way to safely satisfy that need for speed.

“For the dragstrip, Kool April Nites is a huge deal,” says Shirlene Bransom, head of the nonprofit incorporated to operate the track. “We have people who come to race and they bring their hot rods to get in the show, too. We feel it’s a huge benefit to the community if we work together.” Kool April Nites week at the dragstrip begins with an afternoon show and shine car show on Wednesday, April 22, followed by racing at 6 pm. Last year’s show attracted 4 continued on page 32

more than 80 cars; this year, with a fully paved access road, Bramson says a lot more car buffs will be bringing their prized possessions to compete for various trophies and plaques. Friday and Saturday are the big show nights with jetpowered dragsters, Funny Cars (exaggerated stock cars that burn an intoxicating brew of nitromethane and methanol), wheel-standers, an Ocho Loco grudge race and bracket racing (sportsman, pro, super pro and motorcycles) “for big bucks,” Bramson says. The weekend shows attract crowds of between 4,000 and 5,000, she adds. While Bramson and the other dragstrip volunteers prepare for the Kool April Nites fun, they’re mindful of the fact that the throaty engine roars, checkered flags and cheering crowds would be absent if Bramson hadn’t stepped in to save the day in 2014. The dragstrip, located just east of Redding Municipal Airport, belongs to the city of Redding. Its former operator, the late Bob Lidell, informed the city that 2013 would be his last year running the track. After Lidell’s death, negotiations for a new operating group sputtered and the city prepared to shutter the dragstrip. That prospect did not sit well with Bramson, who enjoyed racing her ’56 Chevy and cheering on her two sons,4 continued on page 34

“I was so adamant about not letting it close for a year because I just knew it would not open again. That’s just the way those things seem to go,” Bramson says.

Austin and Jake, who are avid drag racers as well. “I was so adamant about not letting it close for a year because I just knew it would not open again. That’s just the way those things seem to go,” Bramson says. Instead, she established Redding Dragstrip Inc., had it registered as a nonprofit corporation, and received the Redding City Council’s blessing to keep the dragstrip open. “I thought it would be for one year and now I’m going on my seventh year,” she says. Business at the dragstrip has doubled over that period, helped along by improvements like the paved entry road, new grandstands and a revamped snack bar that’s the new home for the iconic Gene’s Hamburgers sign. Restoration of the neon landmark was donated by McHale Sign Co., and Mike Nash, the former Gene’s owner, was kind enough to share the family recipes to ensure that authentic Gene burgers are available at the dragstrip. Paul Warner, who credits Bramson with transforming the dragstrip “from a strip of asphalt with weeds into a quality facility,” is happy the track is still home for his extended family of drag racers. Warner, 78, picked up the drag racing bug in 1997 and soon had his sons, Eric and Gary, racing along with their children. “It’s a family of racers out there,” Warner says of the dragstrip scene. “There has been a lot of us for several years. We appreciate each other. It’s not super competitive. We go to enjoy the sport; to go fast safely.” Warner currently races a ’73 Nova, the latest in a string of more than a dozen race cars, but says he’s made some concessions due to his senior status. His top speeds these days are 115 mph, down from the 150-mph marks in the past. “That’s fast enough.” The youth movement is a big part of the Redding Dragstrip, Bramson says, with kids as young as 5 getting a start in the Junior Dragster program and free Saturday night racing for high school-aged drivers. “I love to see them out there and not out on Clear Creek Road,” says Warner of the Street Legal program. Teenagers develop confidence, learn to rely on their skills and pick up some valuable automotive knowhow, Warner adds. “I worry about high school kids who are not even able to change a tire.”• Redding Dragstrip 6750 Old Oregon Trail, Redding (530) 215-3003 www.reddingdragstrip.info Find them on Facebook

BY MEGAN PETERSON

S H A S TA -T R I N I T Y N AT I O N A L F O R E S T WITH A DASH of the pen on April 26, 1905, Theodore Roosevelt designated the area between the interior Coastal Range on the west and the Cascade Range on the east in Northern California as the Trinity Forest Reserve. Several months later, the large inland Shasta Forest Reserve was created. Then, in 1954, these two forests were administratively combined and officially renamed the Shasta-Trinity National Forest – forming the largest national forest in California that now covers more than 2 million acres over parts of six counties. These days, the Shasta-Trinity Forest is a haven of solitude, and a year-round destination for all kinds of outdoor adventure. “We get all sorts of folks who want to do anything from climbing Mt. Shasta to hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, rock climbing or whitewater boating. Then there are the special demographic groups who are interested in metaphysical and sacred sites,” explains Don Lee, a visitor information

assistant with the U.S. Forest Service Mount Shasta Ranger District. The vast forest encompasses five wilderness areas and more than 6,000 miles of streams and rivers. There are nearly 500 miles of hiking trails, including a 154-mile stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail, as well as Shasta Lake, the largest manmade lake in California. There’s off-thegrid wilderness and charming small towns. And, of course, rising 14,000 feet above it all is Mt. Shasta, the crown jewel of Northern California. “Nothing compares to the ascent to its summit, but it requires mountaineering skills and equipment. The most popular non-technical route is Avalanche Gulch, best climbed in the spring during the months of May through June or early July, as it is safer to climb with snow on the ground,” says Lee. The waterways in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest also provide a huge draw, with the Trinity River as a main attraction. “It runs though the west side of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest with much of it along Highways 3 and 299, providing scenic drives through the forest.4 continued on page 38

In fact, the Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway is a must-do trip for visitors,” explains Nancy Anderson, a visitor information assistant with the ranger station in Weaverville. She adds, “The north and south forks of the Trinity River are also excellent places to hike and camp for those who want to find solitude.” Anglers tend to flock to bass-filled Trinity Lake, while the McCloud, Upper Sacramento and Trinity rivers are known around the world for blue ribbon trout-fishing and whitewater rafting. Waterfall seekers are also drawn to McCloud, which has three viewable waterfalls connected within the span of a couple miles. “Hikers generally start at Lower Falls and walk the trail one mile to the base of Middle Falls. Here the trail ascends a few easy switchbacks to an overlook above the falls before continuing on to the Upper Falls in another half-mile. The trail is rated handicapped accessible with a hardened natural surface. For those less mobile or in a hurry, you can drive to each of the falls, as well,” explains Lee. Both Lee and Anderson suggest exploring the lakes that dot the region. Kayakers and canoeists can paddle around Lewiston, Castle and Siskiyou lakes, while Shasta Lake, with its 365 miles of shoreline, is popular with houseboaters, paddlers, swimmers and spelunkers. It’s also home to Lake Shasta Caverns, a beautiful limestone cave that’s billed as “three adventures in one” because of the boat ride to get there. “It really is a full package tour with scenery of Shasta Lake on the water, as well as 850 feet above the lake when you enter the caverns. The highlight is the caverns themselves, with the tour coming to a crescendo in the Cathedral Room – a massive room 125 feet in height,” explains Lake Shasta Caverns General Manager Matthew Doyle. Once winter comes, many snowboarders and skiers seek out Mt. Shasta. Not only does it have its own ski park and Nordic ski area, there’s backcountry glacier skiing, which many people enjoy long after

many of California’s ski resorts have closed. In the summer, the Mt. Shasta Ski Park also opens up to mountain biking and backpacking, while VS Equine, which offers guided horseback rides out of Mount Shasta, can make getting out to the backcountry a relative breeze. Even for the less adventurous, there’s a scenic drive up Everitt Memorial Highway, a 14-mile, two-lane paved road that goes up to the highest drivable point on Mt. Shasta. Lee explains, “The drive alone to 8,000 feet is worth it, but a short stroll through Panther Meadow during the summer floral bloom is a great finale.” With so much wilderness and places to explore, everyone has a reason to visit the Shasta-Trinity National Forest – and an obligation to preserve it. Just as Teddy Roosevelt created this remarkable forest, he implored its protection, writing, “Of all the questions which can come before this nation…there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us.” • For more ideas on what to see and do around the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, and recreation passes and maps, visit the Shasta-Trinity National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/stnf or call one of the ranger stations.

so much moore R E D B LU F F R O U N D - U P B OA R D M E M B E R F R A N K M O O R E IN 2013, the Red Bluff Round-Up dedicated its arena to Frank Moore, a great champion of the rodeo grounds over the last several decades. While Moore delights in the recognition, he’d like people to know he’s not dead yet. This wasn’t a memorial dedication. The 87-year-old is still very much alive and active on the Round-Up Committee and hopes more will join him in celebrating the 99th Red Bluff Round-Up from April 17-19. Moore joined the rodeo committee in 1971, but he’s been tending the grounds since childhood. “My uncle ran the timed-event chutes back in the ‘40s and ‘50s,” he says. “I

worked out there for my uncle when he was a director. Back in those days, the only lawnmowers they had were sheep.” “I’ve heard the story many times that Frank started at 11 years old digging trenches for the latrines,” says John Trede, president of the Red Bluff Round-Up Committee. “He just does it. It’s in his DNA. If there’s a job, he’s going to get it done.” “Just about everything you see at the Red Bluff RoundUp, I had something to do with on the rodeo grounds,” says Moore.4 continued on page 42

Trede breaks it down with specifics. Moore gathered volunteers and materials to build new grandstands, skybox seating areas, a hospitality area for sponsors, lighting and scoreboards. “Those projects probably comprise about 70 percent of our revenue,” says Trede. “We wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are at capacity if he hadn’t done what he’s done for us. He’s always working on the rodeo, even in the middle of the summer.” It was a natural thing to try out rodeo as a contestant by the time he got to high school, but Moore says with a laugh, “You get on a bull, you get on a horse and you find out there are better things to do.” He’s dedicated his life to those better things in rodeo, including incorporating Round-Up promotion in his job as a sales manager. Working for a Carlton, Ore.-based company that made gloves for mill workers and welders, Moore was strategic in the timing of his sales calls over his 34-year career. “I would make sure I had appointments in rodeo towns the weeks of their rodeos,” he says, noting that he always made sure to represent

Alcohol Awareness Month

According to the Mayo Clinic: Alcohol use disorder (sometimes called Alcoholism) is a pattern of alcohol use that involves problems controlling your drinking, being preoccupied with alcohol, continuing to use alcohol even when it causes problems, having to drink more to get the same effect, or having withdrawal symptoms when you rapidly decrease or stop drinking. Alcohol depresses your nervous system, in some people the initial reaction may be stimulation, but as you continue to drink you become sedated. Drinking too much alcohol on a single occasion or over time can cause health problems, including: • • • • •

Liver disease Digestive problems Heart problems Diabetes complications Sexual function and menstruation issues • Eye problems

• • • • • •

Birth defects Bone damage Neurological complications Weakened immune system Increased risk of cancer Medication and alcohol interactions

IMPACT ON YOUR SAFETY: Excessive drinking can reduce your judgment skills and lower inhibitions, leading to poor choices and dangerous situations or behaviors, including: • Motor vehicle accidents and other types of accidental injury, such as drowning • Relationship problems • Poor performance at work or school • Increased likelihood of committing violent crimes or being the victim of a crime • Legal problems or problems with employment or finances • Problems with other substance use • Engaging in risky, unprotected sex, or experiencing sexual abuse or date rape • Increased risk of attempted or completed suicide Because denial is common you may not feel like you have a problem with drinking.

That’s a Lot of Bull CULP BUCKING BULLS

RODEO IS ROOTED in American history, tracing back to the late 1800s when the Spanish settled California and became cattle ranchers. Wild West shows began traveling through the Eastern states in these days, and today’s rodeo is the offspring of these shows. Early rodeos varied in events and were free to the public; today, prizes are awarded, admission is charged, rules have been established and cowboys are invited. The first steer competition was held in 1889, and evolved into what has become the popular Pro Bull Riding series. Bull and rider points are split 50/50 – in every ride, the bull is judged on spirit, elegance and tenacity, just like the rider is judged for his skills. The bulls are usually Brahma crossed with another breed and can weigh 1,500 pounds or more. They have a tendency to plunge, leap and spin when being ridden.

Trained from a young age, bulls are fed premium feed, gradually exposed to lights and noise, and trailered frequently. This prepares them to be the best athletes they can be. Each bull displays its own personality and talents. Andrew Culp of Culp Bucking Bulls was riding bulls in high school rodeo when his grandfather introduced him to longtime rodeo stock contractor John Growney in 2013. Growney offered him a job on the road after he graduated later that year. Culp graduated from Modoc High School and continued to participate in 30 rodeos. “John Growney, my dad Lynn Culp and my grandfather, Richard Culp, who has passed now—these guys have been with me 100 percent of the way,” Culp says. “John is a world-famous stock contractor who has the passion to pass rodeo down to generations coming up. I was lucky; I was one of them.” 4 continued on page 48

Culp bought his first bucking bull in 2015 in Las Vegas. “Painted Pudge was his name,” he recalls. “He ended up making the Pro Bull Riding World Finals in 2018. Out of 116 bulls in the U.S., he was the one Cody Lambert liked from Northern California.” Raising athletic bulls is complex. “It all starts from the ground up, so the bulls get top feed and premium care,” Culp explains. “It’s like owning your favorite muscle car – they need the same care. These animals are athletes and they absolutely love their job.” Earlier this year Culp Bucking Bulls, 204 Money and 220 Hummers Gold, attended the Iron Cowboy in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. This event features the top 40 bull riders and the world’s top-ranked bulls. Prize money is over $100,000 and riders can earn double points toward the world championship. The pressure on stock breeders and riders is at its peak. Culp relies on a Bible verse, Joshua 1.9: Be strong and courageous. “Being around the life of rodeo, that’s what you need is strength and courage to be doing what we’re doing in all aspects of rodeo,” he says.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com JANUARY 2020

Rodeo season is in full swing and the excitement is thick in the air. “We are gearing up to be really busy from now until September, with rodeos from Oregon to Nevada to California,” Culp says. “We have been traveling to close Pro Bull Riding events in our region and the animals have done great at every one we have attended. We couldn’t ask for much more.” Other bulls of Culp Bucking Bulls include Taz, Captain Crunch and the poster child, Painted Pudge. Like their names, each bull has its own personality. Each has the potential to become legends just like the riders. “When it’s rodeo week in whatever town you live in, everybody wants to be a cowboy for three days. We need more of that in this world.”• Find Culp Bucking Bulls on Facebook or Instagram

“I love helping out,” says Chaney. “We’re promoting our product and doing things for our community.”

IN 1953, the Tehama County CowBelles burst onto the scene – 74 women who were interested in promoting the beef industry. Now, nearly 70 years later, the Tehama County CattleWomen continue to raise awareness about beef and agriculture. According to Beth Chaney, site coordinator and a member since 1980, the Tehama County CattleWomen Association’s primary purpose is to help promote beef as a valid industry. Chaney says that in the ‘50s, when the Cattlemen were busy and off doing things, the women, who tended to be very social, wanted to help promote their product and have some fun. The CowBelles were the official auxiliary of the Cattlemen’s Association, helping the Tehama County

Cattlemen promote the welfare of the livestock industry. Today, the unit is made up of ladies interested in the promotion of beef and the cattle industry, not unlike so many years ago. They have the same goals as in 1953, but the organization has expanded into community events and helping kids in school. According to their creed, the CattleWomen believe the livestock industry is of basic importance to world existence, and they dedicate themselves to support and encourage it, while they instill in future generations a love of the land and life. They focus on three main categories in terms of service: Beef promotion and education, community engagement and fundraising, and social activities.4 continued on page 52

The CattleWomen hold three main fundraisers each year: the Annual Winter Dinner and Ag Scholarship Fundraiser with the Tehama County Cattlemen, the Red Bluff Beef ‘n Brew in Downtown Red Bluff, and the Garden Party and Fashion Show, where they honor the “CowBelle of the Year.” The CattleWomen also attend many community events to promote beef, including the Dairyville Orchard Festival, Tehama District Fair, Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale, the Red Bluff Round Up Mixer, the Gold Country Cutting Horse Association event and the Corning Olive Festival. They also hold trail rides, sortings and help at all Tehama County Cattlemen Association events. Each year in the spring around Earth Day, the CattleWomen visit Tehama County kindergarten through fourth-grade classrooms to talk to students about the cattle industry. It is a key part of beef education for their membership. Students watch a video about life as a ranch child and learn about the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. Cows eat what big ranches reuse, such as almond hulls and sugar beet pulp. According to Chaney, cattle are natural gardeners – they transfer seeds on their feet and spread them through their manure. Cows are sort of like superheroes, she says: “They can eat whatever and turn it into a T-bone steak. They’re pretty efficient animals.” In addition to Ag in the Classroom, the CattleWomen are also proud of their scholarship program. Every year, the Association awards around $15,000 to two students who have completed one year of college: an ag major and a non-ag major from agriculture families. The CattleWomen recently started a vocational scholarship, as well. After all, Chaney says, “We need welders and electricians. These careers are vital to the industry, so we started the vocational scholarship for a non-college student.” Tehama County students are eligible for the scholarship as long as they come from an ag household. “We are very proud of the events we do,” says Chaney. “It’s all about education. We need to educate our youth. Even today, many kids don’t know where food comes from. Just agriculture in general – they get a lot of misinformation. We have a really supportive community to help us raise our funds. We are really lucky.” The CattleWomen, part of the Chamber of Commerce, hold monthly meetings, as well as state meetings and a state convention. “I love helping out,” says Chaney. “We’re promoting our product and doing things for our community.”• www.tehamacountycattlewomen.org

horse country A N E W E Q U I N E - F R I E N D LY V E N U E I N M O U N T S H A S TA “IRON HORSE” is an iconic literary term once used in admiration to describe the power of the modern steam locomotive. But it’s also an appropriate name for the relatively new venue nestled at the base of Mt. Shasta. Novel in design, grand in scope and decidedly horsefriendly, Iron Horse Unlimited is billed by owner and accomplished horse trainer Ruth Altes as a “privatelyowned wedding and event space that gives you total flexibility and a million-dollar view without Tahoe prices.” Altes explains her own meaning behind the name. “I have the horses and my husband is a contractor, so he has the iron. Plus, this area also known for historical railroads and engines, so it seemed fitting.” Altes doesn’t just “have” horses – they’re her life. When it’s busy, she cares for an available stable of up to 15 horses and three mules. “My parents put me on my first horse

when I was 10 months old and I don’t think I ever got off.” Altes’ love of training and showing eventually led to a career that’s spanned the Bay Area to Sweden – even working for three years as the official trainer for San Francisco’s mounted police. “Every time I go to San Francisco, I’m like, yeah, I remember this street. I’ve ridden a horse there, through the Muni buses, through the trains. It’s a lot of desensitization training because you’re really putting the horses out of their element, and the officers who get that duty are not necessarily horsemen.” When it comes to training, Altes’ main focus is on teaching good horsemanship. “Horsemanship is having actual skill in riding, balance and control. But the bigger part of it is understanding how you’re going to communicate with your horse to develop a partnership. You’ve got a 1,200-pound animal that has to understand4 continued on page 56

what you want from them.” Altes stresses that it doesn’t matter what style of riding a person does. “There are a ton of different disciplines. If you can train so that the horse becomes resistant-free and will give to any command you’re asking, then you can pretty much go into any of those disciplines.” Altes moved her family and her horse training business, VS Equine, to Mount Shasta full-time in 2012. Quickly, the scope of her work expanded to taking people out on guided rides on the surrounding trails. “I realized, wow, we have all this beautiful country at our fingertips and I have well-trained horses that anybody can ride,” she says. Now, Altes does rides all over the region, from the McCloud River Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail. She’s also permitted for the Trinity Forest and the Marble Mountain Wilderness. “As far as I know, I’m the only Forest Service-permitted guide operator in this area.” As her business grew, Altes also kept her eye on the abandoned property behind her husband’s contracting workshop. “It was once the old drive-in movie theater, but the screen blew down in the ‘80s, so it shut down and became overgrown.” The size of the property, its convenient location at the junction of Interstate 5 and Highway 89, and the 360-degree views of Mt. Shasta got Altes and her husband thinking about what they could do with it. “My husband is an excavation contractor so he can make magic out of those kinds of things. And so that’s how the Iron Horse Unlimited venue was born. He developed it and now I run it.” Iron Horse regularly hosts weddings, equestrian events and the Mt. Shasta Art Wine and Brew Fest in July. Event planners can bring in their own vendors while still having access to a 90-by-175-foot outdoor riding arena, a 60-foot round pen, a covered catering and band area with a dance area. There’s even a chalet, RV and trailer parking sites, overnight horse pens and ample parking for 300 or more guests – and the site continues to evolve. “We’re always working on the venue, so I

“If it’s a wedding and somebody wants to incorporate a horse or carriage into it, we can do any of that kind of stuff.” would never say it’s completely done.” Altes adds that bringing the horses there seemed only natural. “If it’s a wedding and somebody wants to incorporate a horse or carriage into it, we can do any of that kind of stuff.” In recounting some of the commitment ceremonies that have taken place at Iron Horse, Altes draws a symbolic parallel between those vows and her own commitment to her horses. “It’s 100 percent commitment. Rain or shine, good weather, bad weather, sick or healthy. The horse has to be cared for. And if you want to become better and enjoy your animal, you’ve got to keep working with them.” To Altes, that commitment is for life. “I would never not have a horse. Even if I’m 95 and I can’t walk, I’m still going to have a horse. • Iron Horse Unlimited • 138 Big Canyon Drive, Mount Shasta (530) 925-2608 • www.ironhorseunlimitedllc.com www.vsequine.com

KIND-HEARTED

LUTHIER

T Y B O S ’ R E B U I LT G U I TA R S FOR A CAUSE WHEN THE CARR FIRE raced through Old Shasta, Keswick and west Redding, the devastation was profound. Lost lives. Lost homes. Lost memories. All gone. And while family photos and heirlooms will forever remain part of the toll of the Carr Fire, Ty Bos hopes his gesture can help heal the losses from our community’s biggest natural disaster. Bos, who runs Outlander Creative Inc., a Redding advertising/marketing/video/graphic design agency, rebuilds guitars for children who lost theirs in the July 2018 blaze. He said with all that was lost in the fire, a guitar might seem small potatoes, but to a kid it’s a bigger deal than most would think. “In the grand scheme, replacing a guitar isn’t high priority, but I think the kids’ needs are usually last in things after a disaster,” he says. “Obviously, finding a place to live, furniture and things like appliances are going to come first. And adults, if they want something, they typically have the means to go and buy it. Kids are kind of at the mercy of what’s left.”

And that’s why Bos put out feelers on Facebook seeking not only kids who’d lost guitars in the fire, but people who might have an old axe lying around – working or otherwise. “I just really wanted to be able to something special for the kids,” he says. “Fire is such a devastatingly permanent thing.” The son of an advertising executive, Bos lived a nomadic life until he moved to the North State as a freshman in 1982. It became home. “I love Redding,” he says. “It’s a cool city with its ups and downs.” 4 continued on page 62 APRIL 2020

I LOVE

building guitars, BUT I LOVE

being able to give

music SOMEONE

MORE.

Three years of woodshop and an innate desire to tinker led Bos to build his first guitar in high school. “I built it out of parts,” he says. “It was an abomination, but it played correctly.” To date, he’s taken in seven guitars – five electric and two acoustic – refurbished them and found them homes. “I take what I can get,” he says. “A school teacher gave me a six-string Ovation. Three were complete rebuilds.” Bos said depending on the level of work a guitar needs, he can take it from parts to playing in a matter of days or weeks, and once he sees it he’s got a vision of how it will turn out. “Some go quick depending on my brain and schedule,” he says. A “musical Agnostic,” Bos is self-taught and remembers his upbringing via music. “I’ll go anywhere from Patsy Cline to Nine Inch Nails,” he jokes, “and music was always a way to remind me where I lived – I remember certain places by what the music was at the time.” And because he loves music, Bos says giving refurbished guitars to children affected by the Carr Fire is the least he can do. “It’s emotional,” he says about seeing the faces of children on the receiving end of a guitar. Bos remembers a girl who claimed what he thought was going to be his most difficult guitar – a lefthanded 12-string one. “She was amazing,” he says. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see her playing coffee shops.” Bos said he knows there will come a day when no more Carr Fire victims will need guitars and, perhaps, he’ll turn his passion for giving to children whose families are simply unable to afford them. “I love building guitars,” he says, “but I love being able to give someone music more.” • Aaron Williams is the former sports editor at the Record Searchlight.

S I S K I YO U S C I E N C E F E S T I VA L ANDY CALVERT will take you on a trip through the last million years of geologic time. Alexander Pollak will tell you about his quest to find life in other solar systems. Ranger Steve Rooker will show off one of the popular rest stops for migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. It’s all part of the third annual Siskiyou Science Festival from May 2-17. The event features guided tours, interactive exhibits – and, since the theme is “Beyond 2020 Vision,” a panel discussion that will explore topics including the future of energy, fire and forest management in the Siskiyou region. And it’s all free. Calvert, a volcano expert with the U.S. Geological Survey, will lead a talk and tour May 15 on the slopes of Mt. Shasta, a

sometimes-active volcano that last erupted 3,700 years ago and will do so again (although hopefully not during the tour; Calvert says it’s in one of its “quiet” periods right now). If you visit his booth in downtown Mount Shasta during the all-day Sci-Fest May 16, you’ll learn more about how “volcanologists” study volcanoes, including how they collect hot lava samples from erupting volcanoes. Kids will get to try on one of their heat-resistant aluminum suits and get some hands-on experience with models of erupting volcanoes. On May 6, Dr. Pollak, who has a degree in astrophysics, will show off the Hat Creek Observatory’s radio telescopes 4 continued on page 66

“A real community event, designed to increase people’s curiosity about all the wonderful aspects of science.” that scan the known universe for signs of intelligent life. He spends his days looking for “techno-signatures,” narrow band radio waves similar to those associated with cell phones, that signal the presence of advanced technology in another solar system. Last year’s Science Festival explored the “magic” of science with some practical applications: The “magic” of yeast in baked goods and the “magic” involved in distilling whiskey and other spirits. They even brought in a real magician, a Mister Fish (aka John Lepiarz) to demonstrate the science behind magic tricks. This year, there’s an emphasis on the natural world, not only with Calvert’s geologic tour, but on tours of a Scott Valley watershed project and the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge. Charnna Gilmore, who runs the Scott River Watershed Council, will give a May 9 talk and tour on the Council’s efforts to improve fish habitat and groundwater supplies in the valley. On the tour you’ll see manmade, beaver-like dams that conserve winter and spring runoffs to improve summer flows for endangered Coho salmon. The dams, by backing up water and spreading it out over the flood plain, also help riparian vegetation and enhance groundwater supplies. Those who join Ranger Rooker’s May 2 tour at Tule Lake will see golden eagles and bald eagles on specially made perching poles, as well as an array of migratory birds that

include pelicans, egrets, herons and ducks. In years of normal rainfall, the wetlands and lakes at the Klamath refuge attract 80 percent of all the migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway. Among the numerous other highlights planned for the Science Festival: The county’s schools will host a mobile dome planetarium that will offer a 45-minute tour of the universe, complete with constellations, the moon, the sun and all the planets. Students will also watch a rocket launch as one of the demonstrations of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. There’ll also be a showing of a Star Wars movie on May 4 and a futuristic panel on May 8. Jean Nels, one of the organizers of the Science Festival, calls it “a real community event, designed to increase people’s curiosity about all the wonderful aspects of science.” • Siskiyou Science Festival • May 2-17 (530) 926-5508 • www.siskiyouscifest.com Advance signups (available at the website) required for all festival tours • Free

Service To Others I was raised by my single, hardworking mother. We moved around a lot and I didn’t have a stable childhood growing up. When I was a sophomore in high school 9/11 happened and I knew I had a duty to serve others. I joined the US Navy as a corpsman right out of high school and was deployed to West Africa for operation Flintlock. When I came back to civilian life I couldn’t sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day, so I went back to doing what I knew best– helping people. I was hired at the primary 911 ambulance service for the Los Angeles area where I worked for three years. At that time, the firefighters there encouraged me to become a firefighter. Through divine providence, my Father-inLaw offered my wife and me a house in Redding. We moved a week before the academy started!

Kohei Shasta College Knight

The first person I interacted with when I moved up here was Shasta College Fire Academy Chief Donovan Lacy. He is a very kind person, and very accommodating. Every instructor and staff member and especially my fellow students were pivotal in helping me settle into my new life and achieving success in the program. I’ve graduated from the academy, applied to CalFire, and plan to continue my education with a graduate degree in fire science. Coming to Shasta College has taught me the necessary skills to succeed in my career and better protect the community I serve. Because of Shasta College, I’m able to continue my education, stay within my budget and enjoy the flexibility of online classes.

LOCAL HISTORY

CULTURAL ARTIFACTS

O R OV I L L E ’ S C H I N E S E T E M P L E WHEN, IN 2015, the City of Oroville undertook extensive improvements on its most visited museum, the Chinese Temple and Museum Complex, it added a gorgeous entry gate of Chinese design. From the moment of arrival, visitors know that they are at a very special place. “It’s still an operating worship area,” says Machelle Conn, lead docent at the Chinese Temple. “The main temple is a temple of many deities.” Buses arrive from Sacramento and San Francisco bringing worshipers and others who want to connect with the cultural and historical significance of the complex. “One of the reasons the temple is here is because a local family saved the artifacts,” adds Conn. Major flooding in 1907 destroyed what was once much of Oroville’s Chinatown. “We have items that they don’t have in China anymore

because they were destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. We have a significant number of rare and valuable artifacts.” It is a California Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Chinese Temple and Museum Complex tells a story of the Oroville community that many may not know. “Oroville had about the second-biggest population of Chinese in the Gold Rush era,” says Conn. “I think it’s important for the community to realize that we have a more diverse history than just the miners.” It was more than the flood of 1907 that sent Oroville’s Chinese community into cities such as San Francisco and Sacramento. The Chinese Exclusion Act removed economic opportunity and safety.4 continued on page 70 APRIL 2020

“We have items that they don’t have in China anymore because they were destroyed in the Cultural Revolution.”

The temple and museum show not only how the local Chinese community worships, but also how it conducted civil and cultural business, dressed, decorated and entertained. Five buildings comprise 19 rooms. The Main Chapel, known as Liet Sheng-Kong Temple, is a place in which practitioners of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism gather in prayer. The Moon Temple is dedicated to the Yellow Buddha and the Chan Room is a Confucian room for reverence of the ancestors. A tapestry room features antique textiles and display areas showcase photographs and artifacts, such as urns and shadow puppets made of donkey skin. The Fong Lee Building was built as a replica of the Fong Lee Company, and features many original artifacts from the medicinal herb and gold purchasing store. A Workers Hut shows living conditions of 1860s Chinese miners. The Cullie Room features Chinese and American clothing from 1840-1940. A courtyard and garden features plants of Chinese origin, including a tissue bark pine tree and bamboo that are traced back to the 1860s. A fish pond filled with lily pads blooms in the summer months, and a Chinese pomelo tree produces plentiful large grapefruits.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com APRIL 2020

The complex is kept going by volunteer docents who are responsible for day-to-day operations, including tours and historical presentations. The land was deeded to the City of Oroville in 1937 and first opened to visitors in 1949 after the Oroville Women’s Community Club undertook extensive renovations. “The city maintains it, but the volunteers are who keep the doors open,” says Conn, noting that all five city-owned museums are run by volunteers. Conn became a docent while serving several years on the Oroville Park Commission. “It made sense to become part of the docent association,” she says. “I like pointing out how significant the history of the temple is to the development of Oroville. And it’s fun working with the kids.” School groups comprise a large number of visitors to the temple, coming from across Butte County and beyond. Chinese New Year is the largest celebration at the temple, but visitors can find something to enjoy year round. All they need do is walk through the gate of entry to realize a significant experience awaits. • Chinese Temple and Museum Complex 1500 Broderick Street, Oroville • (530) 538-2496

SPRING PEA SOUP WITH PARMESAN CRISPS

DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE YOU’D LIKE LANA OR MACI TO MAKE? Please submit it to lana@enjoymagazine.net

APRIL 2020 RECIPE

This fresh and vibrant spring pea soup is flavorful and so quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or for a special occasion. Make it a springtime staple. It’s a celebration of spring in a bowl. Enjoy

INGREDIENTS:

4 oz. parmesan,

very finely grated

2 T (1/4 stick) butter

1 T olive oil

1 leek, chopped

1 medium potato, chopped

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

pinch cayenne pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken stock or broth

1 16 oz. package frozen peas

1 cup heavy cream

Creme fraiche or sour cream for garnish

SERVES: 4-6 BAKE TIME: 3-5 minutes PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 20-25 minutes

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Start with making the parmesan crisps. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Divide the grated parmesan into 6 round circles spaced evenly apart. Place in the oven, and bake for 3-5 minutes, watching for melting and a light browning of the parmesan. Once done, remove and while still warm and a bit flexible, remove the crisps from the baking parchment with a spatula and allow to cool on a platter. STEP 2: Next, place a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the chopped leek and potato. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook until leeks are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir while cooking, another 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the potato is tender. Add in the peas and allow to simmer for approximately 5 minutes or until the peas are tender. STEP 3: Remove the soup from the heat and carefully pour into a blender or food processor. An immersion blender will also work, placed directly in the pot. Puree the mixture until smooth. STEP 4: Return the soup to the pot, add in the cream and mix until incorporated. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and serve with a Parmesan Crisp on the side.

TOTAL TIME: 30-35 minutes Lana Granfors enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking and spending time with her friends and family– especially her grandchildren, Jillian and Garet.

INTENTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CASUAL CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR TEEN Engaging your teen in casual dialogue is a fruitful investment of your time and energy! Asking open-ended questions about school, friends, hopes, fears and their vision of themselves as an adult prove to be invaluable, entertaining and enlightening conversations. Many parents report the most informative conversations with their children occur while riding in a car, cooking a meal together or while engaged in an activity that both enjoy. Reach Higher Shasta’s teachers, school counselors and administrators encourage parents to be intentional in creating opportunities for casual conversations! Of course, a healthy conversation includes both talking and listening. Listening means paying attention not only to your child’s story, but how it is told, the tone of voice and body language. In other words, it means being aware of both verbal and non-verbal messages. Your ability to listen effectively depends on the effort you are putting forth, your dedication to listening without solving the other person’s problem, ability to refrain from thinking about what to say next and most certainly your ability to listen without infusing your personal beliefs. Remember to model effective listening skills because it’s crucial

that our children become good listeners due to the multitude of benefits, including but not limited to family dynamics, ability to make and maintain friendships and to become employable. “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.” (Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen) Further study of listening and communication skills is available at bit.ly/listeningskillsyouneed. The freedom to have casual and open conversations builds rapport between teens and their parents/guardians. Over time, this strategy enhances the relationship, but also eases the anxiety for teens confiding in parents/guardians about sensitive topics like bullying, peer pressure and abuse. We encourage parents/ guardians to feel free to talk to their teens about certain common teenage problems like dating, sex, drugs and alcohol. Effective use of communication will foster relationships of trust, respect and acceptance between the teen and the parent. It is vital to our children’s mental health that each and every one of them have a responsible, nurturing adult in their life and that they have an adult willing to listen without judgment.

Join us 11 am to 4 pm at the Historic Patrick Ranch Museum for a celebration of local food, wine, brews, art, live music on 2 stages, and area agriculture

healing & horses

T H E R A P E U T I C P R O G R A M S AT D L B R A N C H I N C OT TO N WO O D HEALING THROUGH horses is the goal of this Cottonwood-based nonprofit. For years, DLB Ranch, Inc. has used horses to help people who seek improved spiritual, emotional and physical health. Under the guidance of certified equine specialists, horses are DLB Ranch’s secret ingredients to human healing and development. It is more likely for a person to build trust and confidence through equine-assisted therapy than traditional therapy. The animals tend to keep people calm and focused, which helps to break down barriers and insecurities that might otherwise get in the way of the healing process. The ranch’s equine-assisted therapy programs have proved beneficial for those struggling with mental, emotional and behavioral issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder and families in crisis. The ranch also offers equine-assisted learning, which uses horses to gain insights into human nature. Activities – including simply having fun with the horses – can help participants establish boundaries and improve problemsolving and critical-thinking skills. “I am a Red Bluff High School counselor who brings students to DLB Ranch as part of youth circle support group activities,” says Darbie Andrews, a DLB Ranch board member. “I discovered DLB while teaching at Salisbury High School, a continuation high school in Red Bluff. I was looking for ways to give students a healing and calming experience and I found it at the ranch.” Working with horses has been shown to improve emotional awareness, self-esteem, empathy and stress tolerance. Andrews says the ranch has positively impacted

not only her students, but also one of her own family members, “I’m an adoptive parent who has taken my adopted son to the ranch to do activities that help improve self-esteem,” she says. “There’s a magic that happens with the horses that I haven’t seen in any other place.” There is something within the animal nature that can give humans a sense of security; it is common for people to open up with animals before they open up to another human. At DLB Ranch, equine-assisted applications have offered learning experiences and therapy sessions that people will find nowhere else. The ranch has catered to an array of individuals and groups seeking help, from local veterans and support groups to at-risk students. “As part of a support group for Paradise students who were forced to move to Red Bluff due to the fire, me and fellow counselor Sofia Harris took the Paradise students to the ranch,” says Andrews. “The students said being at the ranch reduced their anxiety. The horses have a calming effect and assist in creating bonds.”• DLB Ranch 17596 South Lake Road, Cottonwood (530) 347-9902 • www.dlbranch.org
