WHAT ENJOY

WHAT I ENJOY MARLENE WOODARD

President, A Planned Affair & A Planned Affair Event Rentals

What I enjoy most about the North State and why: The community and their ability to get involved and support local non-profits, school programs, etc.

Movie: I am a movie buff and I lean toward romantic comedies, thrillers and holiday box office favorites. I enjoy the classics, the 1940s and 1950s, because the acting was pure talent.

Home Cooked Meal: In general, I don’t enjoy fried foods; however, if my grandmothers were both still alive and they cooked a plate of their fried chicken legs, I would be right in there with elbows on the table eating every last finger licking piece of them.

Website: Facebook Marketplace is a daily must for my business. I watch for unique items that I may incorporate into my event designs.

What do you like most about your occupation?: The opportunity to dream with our clients regarding their special events. The freedom to be as creative as my imagination allows me to be. The team I work with, the amazing clients and the non-profit organizations I have worked with over the past 20+ years.

Quote: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” — Bill Keane

Place to Travel: In the U.S., I really find rest and relaxation in Sedona, Ariz. If you stay out of the tourist areas, it really has a calming beauty about it. In Europe, Brugge, Belgium is a step back in time with their cobbled streets, ornate buildings and cathedrals. Although, if you can go to a village in Ireland during their Super Bowl of Soccer, it is a week-long party leading up to the match. Just be prepared to pick a side and wear their colors.

Sport or Hobby: I I am a huge football fan, Go Seahawks and then go Raiders. You can usually find me watching football, jumping up and down during great plays and yelling at the refs through the TV. Oh yes, I am that kind of a fan.

Holiday or season: My favorite seasons are spring and fall. The weather is perfect, and the colors are amazing. There is just something about pointing your face to the sun and feeling the spring or fall crispness in the air.

Q & A WITH NORCAL WEDDINGS

FOR THE BETTER PART of a decade, NorCal Weddings has connected local wedding vendors with to-be-weds. Free to use, the online wedding vendor directory features around 300 businesses, including everything from florists and caterers to venues and DJs. Ahead of this year’s Redding Bridal Show, NorCal Weddings founder Paul David answered questions about the website and the in-person event, which will showcase more than 100 local vendors at the Redding Civic Auditorium on February 19.

YOU COMPLETE ME | BY DELANEY URONEN
16 | www.En joyMagazine.com FEBRUARY 2023

Enjoy: What is NorCal Weddings all about?

David: NorCal Weddings came from trying to put things that are already here on the map. There are larger, national wedding vendor directories, but when you go to these sites and search Northern California, they don’t really cover vendors north of Sacramento or Napa. We have this amazing area up here with all kinds of great outdoor wedding venues — in Shasta County, up into McCloud, Mount Shasta, Weaverville, Shingletown, Red Bluff — that these larger websites just don’t really capture. My hope was that we could encourage more people to plan their weddings up here and provide them with resources they need.

Enjoy: How did the Redding Bridal Show grow out of NorCal Weddings?

David: We launched NorCal Weddings in 2015 and started the Redding Bridal Show in 2016. Because NorCal Weddings was so well received, we thought we should make an in-person experience out of it, where people could meet the vendors on the website and beyond.

Enjoy: What can attendees of the upcoming Redding Bridal Show expect to see?

David: Most people who are planning a wedding haven’t planned one before. It helps to get that in-person experience. They can meet the vendors in person, and the designs at the decorated booths can help get the idea process going. We have a fashion show so they can see dresses in person and a photo booth for brides who bring their bridal party and their moms. We also have a giveaway where the grand prize is a gift certificate to a local wedding dress shop. Usually, we have at least $5,000 in prizes that we are able to give away.

Enjoy: What’s hot in bridal in the North State right now?

David:Because of our location, there are so many great outdoor wedding venues. In McCloud or Mount Shasta, you can have your wedding right there underneath the mountain. People will travel here to have their weddings at some of our ranches. So you get a lot of woodsy, rustic, ranch or country styles.

I’ve also noticed a lot of large, open-table reception formats, where instead of individual round tables that

may seat six or seven people, you have maybe two huge wooden tables in an open field. A lot of creams, natural tans and light grays that really blend well with the trees and scenery. When you have neutral, natural colors, they really age well in photos, unlike your neons, your teals or other colors that have kind of phased out of popularity.

Enjoy: On that note, what used to be hot in bridal in the North State and now is not?

David: Even just seven years ago, there were a lot of hot pinks and bright accent colors that were popular. I feel like that has kind of disappeared. I’ve also seen more and more weddings where people are having smaller, more intimate ceremonies, sometimes not even having the full bridal party. I think COVID probably played into that, where we saw people cutting back on their guest lists.

Enjoy: What are you most excited for at the 2023 Redding Bridal Show?

David: Some new businesses are doing our show for the first time this year. That’s always exciting, because a lot of times it’s people who are taking their passion or hobby a step further and putting themselves out there professionally. There are people who have totally successful businesses now who got some of their first bookings through us. It’s fun to be a part of that process. •

CROWN JEWEL

YOU COMPLETE ME | BY MELISSA MENDONCA

THE KRAFT IN RED BLUFF

REAL ESTATE broker Nels Leen has been buying property and managing buildings for decades now and has a decidedly businesslike take on the ventures. “Most of our real estate is rental property,” he says. “Normally we don’t do a lot on a new property. We did on this building. It’s a whole different beast.”

The lovingly-referred-to “beast” is the Kraft Memorial Free Library building in Red Bluff, dedicated in 1909, and one of the city’s crown jewels of architecture and a cornerstone of its Victorian District. The building is now in its third iteration, having gone from a library to a beloved home décor business called the House of Design, and now to a wedding venue/event center called The Kraft.

“This is our first business venture,” says Leen, who has secured the services of Kate & Co.’s Kate Grissom to manage the venue. “We just felt like it was a perfect place for an event center. It didn’t need a lot of renovation, but we did a few things to enhance it.” Floors were redone and a bridal suite was added to the third floor. The basement was renovated to better serve guests. “It’s beautiful from top to bottom,” he adds. The renovation was somewhat of a pandemic project that has grown into a passion project. “The integrity of the building is so strong,” he says.

Grissom didn’t think twice about taking on the project. A long-time advocate for her community, she relishes the opportunity to breathe new life into a beloved building and create yet one more space where people can gather.

“It’s vintage,” says Courtny Abbassi, who handles day to day bookings and event management. “When you go into the building, you’re in a different era. It’s been beautified to become a wedding venue, but it’s still got the original touches. The intimacy of the building is just beautiful. The key is the same key from 1909.”4 continued on page 22

There’s a reverence to the use of the building felt by everyone involved. They are proud of its history and feel like guardians of its legacy. Seemingly no one could be more grateful than Kate Gleim, the former owner who oversaw an extensive renovation of the building in 2006 after she and her former husband bought the building from the heirs of philanthropist Elizabeth Kraft in 1997. Kraft constructed the library as a public service and cut no corners to make it state of the art for its time. It served as the city’s library for 78 years. “It’s been such a part of the community for over 100 years,” says Gleim. “I’m glad it’s in such good hands. They’ve honored the history.”

The Neoclassic building had been returned to the heirs by the State Supreme Court after the city violated the trust that it would always remain a library open to the community. In 1987, the city moved library services to an old Safeway building despite a plea from Kraft’s greatgrandson to honor the wishes of his great-grandmother.

The building’s history has been written up by Gleim on a website she maintains. “I’ve had so many questions about it,” says Gleim. “People are very interested.” After Gleim became an owner in 1997, she underwent a lengthy process to have the building entered into the National Register of Historic Places that was successful in April 2000. She helps maintain the building’s extensive gardens and helps decorate for the seasons. She owned the House of Design, which made its home in the Kraft building for many years.

“It’s versatile,” says Abbassi, who was recently honored as Volunteer of the Year by the Tehama County Farm Bureau for her work as President of the Active 20/30 Club in Red Bluff. “You can do a 90th birthday here and it’s not too much, but you can also do a wedding here and it’s just enough.” She notes that services come at a range of levels. “We can offer a fully coordinated wedding or just the bare bones of a building.”

“It’s been a fun project,” says Leen. “This property has so many places for photo opportunities. It is a charming place. Down the road it ought to make a lot of people very happy.”

“This building should be an event center,” says Abbassi. “People should be able to enjoy it so everyone can see what the Kraft Library was.”•

ANGELIA BOERO, DRESS MAKER

IMAGINE FALLING ASLEEP every night as a child, staring down your mother’s sewing machine across the room. For Angelia Boero, it spurred her curiosity for design. Who would have thought that she’d carry that interest to adulthood, and grow up to create beautiful clothing, including one-of-a-kind wedding garments?

At 11 years old, Boero sat down at the machine for the first time and pulled together some fabrics. She didn’t ask permission, but as a young creative, she had a natural knack for sewing. Her mother noticed this talent, and the two of them sat down to work together.

From her first garments – matching skorts for herself and her best friend – to decades of sewing for family and friends, Boero is a designer and seamstress with a deep understanding of materials. Part of that comes from years of experience and studying at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco.

Interestingly enough, it was Boero’s daughter who brought home a pamphlet for the fashion school in 2004, briefly curious about it for herself. But it was Boero who enrolled in 2005.

“People don’t know that it’s not all about design. There are many hats. You can do them all, but you’ll burn yourself out,” Boero says.

Boero has taken on this challenge before, for customized garments, which are notoriously time consuming. And she’s done it with wedding gowns.

“A bridal gown is a very special gown,” Boero says. She notes that bridal dresses are some of the most involved garments to make, and it can be a rather emotional investment. Bridal gowns hold a lot of value to brides, and many have dreamed for years of finding the perfect one.

For her own daughter’s wedding, Boero designed and created the reception dress. She hoped to make the bridal gown, too, before it had to be tabled. Her daughter shared images of dresses that she liked, and Boero knew just how to tweak the design.

“Throughout this process, I consider myself a well-rounded designer,” Boero says. “I know what it takes to do all the steps. In doing that, you find your strengths and weaknesses. I have no problem, the minute I see a piece of fabric, I can envision what it can be.”

It doesn’t end there, though. From design, there’s fabric choice, pattern work, trend research and fit. The process is lengthy, and depending on the detail, it can take a lot of time. If you buy a wedding dress from a bridal shop, Boero says that design was likely conceived a year ago –unless it’s couture, which takes even more time to produce.4 continued on page 28

About 10 years ago, Boero was diving into the bridal industry. She crafted a few unique designs for wedding attire, but after her mother fell ill, she put bridal work on hold. While she’s on pause, Boero is not opposed to taking on new clients.

Her advice to brides shopping for wedding dresses? “Fall in love with the dress of your dreams, then try to find it at a lower price,” Boero says, joking that other designers wouldn’t give the same advice. “You can always find one that’s less, take it to a competent seamstress and have them add things that make it comparable to the dress you love.”

Wedding days are built of dreams, fantasies and wonderful energy. Boero adds, “You don’t have to break the bank. It’s your day, but try to come as close to your dream possible without spending all your money.”

Madison Heller was born and raised in Redding, and as a result spent her summers swimming and camping all over the North State. When not writing, she enjoys baking sweets, drinking coffee and spending time outside.

“WHEN SOMEBODY comes through our door, we want to treat them like family,” Austin Benbrook says of Tuxedo Den, a family-owned formalwear company with a history dating back to 1962. Founded by Emil and Bernice Benbrook in Eureka, it eventually expanded to 16 locations throughout Northern California. In the early 2000s, the family sold Tuxedo Den to another company, while the Benbrooks kept the original Eureka location. In 2013, when Austin, grandson of the founders, got the call that the current owners planned to close all their shops, he decided to buy back the Redding locations and close the Eureka store. He wanted to “bring the family feel back,” he says. They had to move to a new storefront in Redding, which ultimately meant starting over from scratch, reworking the family name back into the business and letting customers know they’d moved.

Today, Austin’s father, Bob Benbrook, works in the Redding shop alongside him. “He’s 87,” Austin says. “Still comes in, clean shoes and presses shirts, and I’m just happy to have him there with me.” Bob was 27 when his parents started the company, and he worked with them for many years, helping with the expansion and opening new locations. Austin’s mother-in-law, Debbie Stewart, is also an integral part of the team, working as a seamstress. In addition to a wide selection of suits and tuxedos for weddings, proms and other formal events, Tuxedo Den offers full tailoring and alteration services, whether or not4 continued on page 32

the items were purchased at the shop. “We take a lot of time to do alterations on rentals,” says Austin. “We try to custom fit everything that leaves our store.” Debbie does exceptional work on pieces from wedding and bridesmaids dresses to street clothes, and everything in between, he says.

Tuxedo Den faced challenges during the pandemic, as most weddings and other events were canceled or postponed. However, they were able to weather the storm with just a small team, including Bob, Debbie and store manager Kyle O’Connor, who’s been a long-time part of the Tuxedo Den family, and a group of unswervingly loyal customers. Tuxedo Den is increasingly excited about the return to normal functions like weddings, quinceañeras, proms and holiday parties, once again giving them opportunities to serve the community with their expertise.

Austin and his team understand that the clothing industry is constantly evolving, with fashion trends shifting more rapidly than ever. With one of the largest selections of rental styles on the market, however, Tuxedo Den is able to keep up with trends, offer classic options and allow customers the flexibility to request anything they’d specifically like to try on in-store. It is unique in the attention to detail and commitment to personalized service. The team aims to act as guides for their customers, helping them navigate the world of formalwear without being pushy or overbearing. This particular kind of care for the customer experience is a value that has been passed down through the generations, with Austin citing his brother Rod Benbrook and their father as major influences on his approach to the business. “I’ve never had two more influential people in my life,” Austin says, adding that his approach is simply “learning a little bit about the person that comes in.”

“We’re just working on focusing on the customer and always looking to the future for something new,” Austin says. On the possibility of opening more locations, he says, “I don’t want to expand at the risk of alienating or diminishing customer experience when they come into our shop. So if that means that I focus on one shop for the rest of my days, then that’s where it is.” The company has no intention of sacrificing its firmly held priorities in the name of growth. Instead, the focus will remain on maintaining high standards and providing the best possible formalwear experience. •

A Seat at the Table

TO THIS DAY, Jesse Palmer remembers how nervous he was for Haven Collective’s first wedding. He planned to arrive early, which turned out to be a good thing, because the thicket of trees choking the narrow, rural road to the site barely allowed his truck passage. So he still had time for himself, his brother Aaron and a mutual friend to set up tables and chairs for 250 guests.

First, they had to assemble the tables, sturdy eight-foot pine, handcut, stained and finished with a quality intended to enhance this most important of days. Done with that, 32 rustic farmhouse tables stood on their own hand-crafted legs for the first time outside of the wood shop. Next, since this was their first wedding, the brothers Palmer and friend began to unbox scores of brand-new chairs carefully chosen to match the tables.

Jesse remembers working nervously, as the clock ticked away their hours. This first time, it took them five full hours to set everything up. For his second wedding, setup took less time and by, say, his fifth wedding, Jesse was confident he, Aaron and a friend could stage these 32 custom tables and chairs for any wedding within about two hours.

“We stopped building tables at 32, because we didn’t have any place to keep any more,” he says with a laugh. “Yes, we rent the same tables over and over again. For six years now.”

Though Aaron and a friend pitched in on building the tables to launch Haven Collective, Jesse pretty much runs the day-to-day of the wedding furniture rental business himself, including marketing, scheduling and synchronizing with his customers’ needs to make sure everything works out perfectly for them. The other two helpers step in to set up and take down for that special day.4 continued on page 38

Their attention to customer service appears to have paid off, according to a testimonial from that first wedding’s bride, provided by Jesse: “I can’t say enough good things about this business!” wrote Angel. “They went above and beyond; we didn’t have to worry about a thing! These guys are professional, funny and kind! If you are in the market for tables and chairs for your event, Haven Collective is where it’s at!”

Similar praise can be found on Yelp, most often from a bride. “We do mainly interact with brides, as that is usually who contacts us,” Jesse says. “I’m not sure on the reasoning for that.”

Jesse and Aaron learned woodcraft at home, during their childhoods in Madison, Wis. The youngest of four brothers, Jesse tells of a household of people whose first thought after realizing a need for new furniture was to build it. “We would make coffee tables, kitchen tables, art pieces for ourselves,” he recalls. “I was 7 or so when my dad proposed we make a coat rack for my room. I got a lot of quality time with my dad this way.”

Teenage Jesse arrived in Redding about 11 years ago, following older brother Aaron and enrolling in the same school. A few years later, he helped build a table with a friend, who showed him an equal interest to his own in woodworking. Together they developed Jesse’s idea for a business that would become Haven Collective.

“We picked the name Haven Collective because when we started building furniture, it seemed like a little haven from our busy lives, where we could relax, have fun creating and spend time with each other,” Jesse says. “The Collective part was because we were a group where we wanted each person to bring whatever unique aspects they had to the table and make each other better as people. It was exciting. I have always loved the idea of creating businesses. They can be a great outlet for creativity and opportunity to provide something others want and need, while also creating a living for my family.”

With Aaron and friend, they built those 32 tables during an especially busy time. “Over the three months we were building them leading up to the wedding, we were both at full-time school in Shasta College, working 30 hours a week at our other jobs, and building tables in whatever free time we had left,” he recalls. “Probably averaged 80- to 90-hour work weeks for those three months.”

They finished table 32 the day before that first wedding.

Brides – and possibly others – who might appreciate the services of professionals well-experienced in the setting up and taking down of wedding tables may contact Haven Collective through its website.

Jesse, Aaron and a friend provide for up to two weddings per weekend and they are booking quickly. Although the clock is ticking, here’s a crew that will take a substantial load off your nerves.

Mountain Magic

WEDDINGS ON THE MOUNTAIN

VOLCANOES EXUDE a force that has the power to change the landscape and lives. So perhaps there’s no better way to express the passion of saying “I do” than on the slopes of one. On Mt. Shasta, that’s possible. “The most popular option for weddings at the Ski Park is to hold the ceremony at the top of Douglas [chairlift] with an amazing view of Mt. Shasta in the background, then head back to the lodge for the reception. This allows guests to have a memorable ride on the chairlift up and down the mountain. And, once the party is over, folks are welcome to camp out

YOU COMPLETE ME | BY MEGAN PETERSON

For Hornbeak, getting married on the summit was a natural choice. “When we told friends and family, most folks’ responses were something along the lines of ‘OMG, that is too perfect!’ as my husband and I are very outdoorsy people and really enjoy skiing.” Now that Hornbeak works at the Ski Park, it makes for a strong connection with customers. “When folks find out I was recently married on the mountain, they realize how much I really love it here, and it goes to show how special of a place this mountain can be.” One of Hornbeak’s favorite parts of getting married at the park was the unexpected nature of navigating the terrain as a bride. “I love the surprise some people get about the concept of riding the chair lift in a wedding dress.”

The drama of the backdrop provides a stunning venue. “I know when my now-husband and I were planning our wedding, a view of the mountain was one of our few non-negotiables. Mt. Shasta is an extremely beautiful mountain and the view of it from the top of Douglas is hard to beat. It’s a very romantic setting and being up there with just your loved ones makes the whole experience very personal and private.” Hornbeak also notes Shasta’s spiritual significance. “To many, the mountain also holds a lot of spiritual significance, so it serves as their altar or their version of church.”

But planning a mountaintop wedding can also come with its share of surprises. “We did not get the weather we were hoping for. It was freezing and raining sideways the day before when we were setting up. Of course, we knew that was a possibility when we started, but usually the weather at the end of May is about 75 or 80 degrees, and we got about 50 degrees. It did clear up just in time for our ceremony, though, which was amazing.”

Hornbeak also notes several improvements to the park this year that add to its value as a mountaintop destination. “The biggest and most exciting thing at the Ski Park right now is our new Gray Butte Lift. It accesses over 200 acres of new skiing terrain, including our first double black diamond. We also have a lot of new rental equipment,” Hornbeak says. The food options have also gotten an upgrade since Hornbeak’s wedding. “We’ve hired new food and beverage staff that are going to be available for event catering and honestly, they’re amazing.”

Booking the experience does require advance planning. “The best time is between the end of May and September, and there’s always the potential for cold or hot weather, as it is on a mountain. It’s also best to reach out as soon as possible, at least a year to 18 months in advance, but sometimes shorter notice can be accommodated. People who are interested in getting more information can contact me,” Hornbeak says. But she insists the experience is worth it. “Mount Shasta is magical. Regardless of what your spiritual beliefs are, you can feel the power of the mountain and recognize it as a very special place.”•

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. It’s a third of our mothers, sisters, friends, neighbors, coworkers and more. It’s a third of the women we can’t bear to live without.

Here are some other facts you need to know about women and cardiovascular disease:

❤ Cardiovascular disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined and yet only 44% of women recognize that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat.

❤ Among females 20 years and older, nearly 45% are living with some form of cardiovascular disease and less than 50% of women entering pregnancy in the United States have good heart health.

❤ Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of new moms and accounts for over one-third of maternal deaths. Black women have some of the highest maternal mortality rates.

❤ Overall, 10% to 20% of women will have a health issue during pregnancy, and high blood pressure, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes during pregnancy greatly increase a woman’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease later in life.

❤ Going through menopause does not cause cardiovascular disease, but the approach of menopause marks a point in midlife when women’s cardiovascular risk factors can accelerate, making increased focus on health during this pivotal life stage is crucial.

JAYDEN + LOGAN TAYLOR’S LOVE STORY

It is a rarity to find your true love and the person you’re going to marry when you are just 10 years old. It sounds like something that only exists in movies and fairytales. I’m the lucky girl who got my very own fairytale, meeting my husband before I even knew what love really was. My husband, Logan, and I met when he moved into the house across the street when I was 10 and he was 12 years old. He claims he had a crush on me the first time he saw me and I say the same thing about him. It was such an innocent and childlike love, peeking out my window with giddy eyes to see if he was home or playing with his friends out front. Many days after school and in the summer were spent doing just that - all of us neighborhood kids riding bikes, playing hide and seek and adventuring together. As the years went on, so did our relationship.4 continued on page 50

We dated throughout high school and eventually into college for me and working in his career for him. We got to grow up together and go through the motions of figuring out who we were and who we wanted to be, side by side. Not many people make it out of that and decide they still belong together, but through it all, that’s where we always ended up. Just like everything else, we started our family early. First, we had our son Teegan, and then two years later, our second son, Bodi. We got engaged in October 2020 when Logan proposed to me at the Oregon Sand Dunes at sunset, which has always been a family favorite place to vacation. In September 2021, we had the most beautiful day surrounded by our loved ones as we officially joined as one in marriage. I read in my vows, “I have loved you for approximately 4,380 days and that isn’t an exaggeration - I have loved you and only you my entire life. You have been my only kiss, my first kiss and you will be my last. How lucky am I that I

have been able to love you for so many years before we even got to our wedding day. I know our journey hasn’t been traditional, but by the amazing grace of God, we have turned this into something beautiful and amazing. We are a diamond in the rough - not many couples with a story like ours make it to the altar.”

Today, we are raising our two sons in the same neighborhood where Logan and I grew up. We are about to welcome a little girl, who is due in May. We watch the young neighborhood kids, as well as ours, ride their scooters and bikes on our street and just think about how not too long ago, that was us. Our story is so bountiful, full of joy and love, and we look forward to each day, continuing to live out our real life fairytale together. •

THE FAIRWAYS at Tierra Oaks Golf Club have been filled with golfers in search of birdies since the course opened in 1993. Now, with new owners in place, plans are underway to soon have those linksters joined by brides and grooms celebrating wedded bliss.

Expanding Tierra Oaks’ elegant clubhouse and grounds to accommodate larger weddings, banquets and parties is just one of the improvements owner Jason Munson has in store for the course he acquired late last year.

Not long after its opening, Tierra Oaks began developing the reputation as a challenging course able to test the patience of golfers of all levels. To shoot a score even close to par requires navigating tight fairways lined by ball-hungry trees and contending with large, undulating putting greens.

Munson, who also owns the nine-hole Grape Ranch Golf Club in Palo Cedro, wants to maintain Tierra Oaks’ status as a championshipcaliber course, but he and his wife, Becky, are eager to transform the property into more of a family-friendly facility.

A sizable expansion of the clubhouse patio will allow for both wedding receptions and, perhaps, Sunday brunches, suggests Michael Grobstein, Tierra Oaks’ food and beverage manager. Also planned is a relocation of the bar to expand the dining room for indoor weddings and parties. “Right now, it’s for serious golfers, but we want to make it just as fun for families with good service and food offerings,” says Grobstein.4 continued on page 60

Munson plans to launch a junior golf program, complete with training, education and competition, as a way to include more family members. “I have a passion for the game,” Munson says. “I’ve always wanted to mix golf and education.”

Prior to Munson’s purchase of the course, Tierra Oaks had been part of a trust and essentially operated by out-of-state owners whose interest in the course had waned during the past few years. Like other Bella Vista Water District customers, Tierra Oaks also has felt the pinch of the nagging drought affecting California.

“We’re looking forward to the new life,” Grobstein says of the changes in store under Munson’s ownership.

An Orange County native who met his future wife at La Habra High School, Munson says he had been visiting relatives in Shasta County in the 1970s and moved to the North State in 2004 to start Munson Pump Services. After a “nomadic” career as a general contractor, Munson says he wanted to do something local and “plant some heavy stakes in the community.” He has an engineering degree from Cal Poly Pomona and a master’s in business from Pepperdine University.

Work on Tierra Oaks began in 1988 when developer Harrell Davis retained golf course architect Jim Summers and tasked him with designing the 18-hole course. Summers, whose design credits include Canyon Oaks in Chico and Eagle Valley West in Carson City, Nev., was joined by Sandy Tatum in 1990.

Tatum, who led his Stanford University golf team to NCAA titles in 1941 and 1942, helped Summers with Tierra Oaks’ final design. The two men also collaborated on courses at the Mt. Shasta Resort, Apple Mountain in the foothills east of Sacramento and StoneTree Golf Club in Novato. Tatum went on to direct the renovation of San Francisco’s Harding Park course up to PGA Tour status.

With such a strong golf pedigree as a foundation, Tierra Oaks’ future is bright and the goal is clear: “We want to make it a premiere destination for the North State,” says Grobstein. •

a taste explosion

CREATIVE SWEETS FROM PYROCLASTIC CHOCOLATE

THE ORIGINS OF chocolate trace back to the Mayans, who called it “the drink of the Gods” and consumed it as a bitter-tasting liquid with cinnamon and pepper to capitalize on its stimulating effects. Since then, the taste has come a long way as a romantic item and art form. But for chocolatier Becca Larson, the fundamentals of chocolate-making remain the same. “Chocolate can form something like five or six different crystal structures. Some of them are stable, some of them are unstable, so you have to melt out all the unstable crystal structures so the stable crystal structures can take over and seed themselves. It’s really a lot of attention spent on temperature control.”

Larson is the owner of Pyroclastic Chocolates in Weed, a home-based cottage business that has also evolved over time. “I started out making traditional hand-rolled rustic-looking truffles, but what I do now are technically molded bonbons. Sometimes I’ll refer to what I make as a truffle just because people around here know what that is, but technically a truffle is named after the fungus, you know, the mushroom that grows under the dirt. So, it’s round and rustic and coated in cocoa powder or something like that. With molded bon bons, you do the shells, you dump out the tempered chocolate to leave a cavity and pipe in the centers.”

The shape of Larson’s chocolates often resembles the popular crystals or prisms found in shops around Mt. Shasta, and the fact that Larson calls her business Pyroclastic has everything to do with Siskiyou County. “I wanted something that was reflective of the area, and the volcano here is all-inspiring. It dominates our entire skyline in Weed. Pyroclastic was also a word that isn’t super common and something I found a little more elevated and interesting. It means the chunks of rock that come out of volcanoes, like a pyroclastic flow. Some of my designs even look like a lava flow. For example, the strawberry balsamic, it’s really red and drippy-looking like lava.”

Some of Larson’s most popular flavors seem to harken back to chocolate’s origins. “Among my most popular are my Mexican chocolate, which has cinnamon, cayenne and a little bit of habanero. The addition of the habanero was the idea of my sister and my ex-sister-in-law. They were tasting and they were like, ‘You know, all of the hot is in one spot.’ So, we looked up what different chili peppers do, and if you add a little habanero, then you’ll get some tingle up front and something in the back of your throat. It worked out really well.” Other flavors become more of a tasteful balancing act. “I really make an effort to balance out the sweetness of white chocolate especially with things like lemon.” 4 continued on page 54

And you don’t have to worry. I don’t make anything that’s not good. So maybe it’s not your favorite but you’re gonna like it one way or another.

The love and care that Larson puts into her chocolate extends to her sourcing. “I use all-natural colors with the colored cocoa butter, and I have recently switched from a big company that was sourcing chocolate from dubious African origin to a smaller, more ethical company out of Columbia. The chocolate tastes better and it’s a smaller carbon footprint coming from the same hemisphere. I’m always trying to improve when I can, where I can.” Larson has even started making some vegan options based on customer need. “The mocha raspberry is inspired by my sister. She loves chocolate and raspberry and coffee, but she’s lactose intolerant, so if I can cut the butter out, that helps her a little bit. That means with the vegan flavors, I don’t put any kind of substitute in. They just have more chocolate. Honestly, they’ve been extremely popular even among my regular customers.”

For the first-time customer, Larson recommends tasting with an open mind and savoring the experience. “I would say don’t cram the whole thing in your mouth. Some people take teeny, tiny bites. That might be overkill, but give it at least two bites. And I always recommend trying something new and different.” Larson laughs as she adds, “You don’t have to worry. I don’t make anything that’s not good. So maybe it’s not your favorite, but you’re going to like it one way or another.” • www.pyroclasticchocolate.com • Find them on Instagram

A Sweet Discovery A Sweet Discovery

“EVERYBODY IN TOWN likes that she’s there,” says Brian Muir, owner of the Weaverville Hotel & Emporium with his wife, Jeanne. “We’re happy that she’s doing well.” Brian is speaking about Ryan Crockett, owner of Crockett’s Up North, a Confectionery, Mercantile and Eatery. Her sweet treat and gourmet grilled cheese business in Weaverville has been a welcome infusion of vitality into downtown since its opening in 2020.

Ryan has always had a creative, entrepreneurial side hustle; she’s catered events, baked for weddings and worked as a bookkeeper, among other things; she’s not one to be idle. She and her family moved to Weaverville in 2016 from the Yuba City area so her husband Micah could relocate for his job with Caltrans, and she began working at her children’s school as a paraeducator in sixth and seventh grade. When they were all sent home in March 2020, it was time for another project, and Ryan found one suited to her interests and past experience, which also worked out beautifully for the good of the whole community.

Micah is deeply involved behind the scenes, always working on renovations when they are needed and taking care of routine maintenance. Ryan credits him for the appealing layout of the place. Her children, Wyatt, 13, and Dylan, 12, also enjoy helping out around the confectionery, garnering treats in return.

“We were open within two months,” Ryan says. Once she and Micah decided to open an ice cream shop, she didn’t waste time. While the net impact of COVID has been definitively negative, it offered some advantages as well for Ryan and certain other members of her town. Logistically, she had more time to begin working on her new venture, and was able to solely focus on remodeling the space, hiring employees and curating the customer experience. She wisely chose to open on a smaller scale than where they’re operating now; they started with just one freezer and 12 flavors, along with a few things in the mercantile shop.4 continued on page 66

CROCKETT'S UP NORTH IN WEAVERVILLE

They now serve 24 rotating ice cream flavors that can become banana splits or ice cream tacos in addition to cones or cups, and a variety of fresh cookies, brownies and other baked goods. In their mercantile is displayed a full range of products from small businesses and creators around the United States. Early this year, they acquired the space next door and turned it into a parlor with gourmet grilled cheese offerings. At that point, they had to do a large remodel of the parlor space, and Ryan says they also did a “full remodel of the ice cream kitchen.” The Crocketts have created the perfect marriage of sweet and savory experiences, just a few steps apart from each other. “Weaverville had had an old confectionery for years and it closed in the ‘80s,” says Ryan. Many older residents remember that shop fondly, and she says, “a lot of people would mention it” in reference to Up North. To some extent, Ryan has pulled inspiration from this cherished local memory and infused it into the previously empty building she and her husband found available downtown.

HEALTH WISE

Ryan has intentionally designed Up North’s interior to feel like a step back into a simpler time, playing bluegrass music and organizing the mercantile in a manner that reminds of years gone by through the decor, such as photographs of old Weaverville and relics from businesses that used to operate in town. The star may be the traditionally oldfashioned candy counter with shelves of gleaming glass canisters filled with shining confections that call to any sweet tooth. They bake their own waffle cones daily, the caramelized buttery scent filling the shop. “We’re trying to appeal to all of your senses,” Ryan says. “It all becomes one experience.” The result is a reminiscing venue where the senior crowd feels at home and which the younger generation also adores.

Many young people leave Weaverville after high school, seeking opportunities elsewhere. A lot of local high schoolers would love to have an after-school or summer job and start learning life skills, but there often aren’t enough employment options in the small community. Ryan has made it her mission to be one of those too-rare opportunities

Heart Health Month February 2023

Heart Health Month is the perfect time to commit to improving heart health and preventing heart disease and stroke. According to Indian Health Services (IHS) heart disease is the leading causes of death in the United States, including American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/ AN) people.

As a commitment to prevent heart disease and stroke among AI/AN people, the Indian Health Service partners with patients, communities, and other federal agencies to help people learn about heart disease risk factors and healthy lifestyle choices that can help prevent heart disease and stroke.

Achieving a healthier lifestyle can decrease the risk of developing heart problems. Making small changes in everyday life can lead to big changes for heart health.

• Eating a healthy diet can lower cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce damage to arteries, such as: eating more fruits and vegetables, decreasing the amount of red meat, choose food that are low in sodium.

• Increasing physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight and

increase blood flow to the heart: start with small goals, 10 minutes of physical activity a day can help decrease the risk of developing heart problems, involve a friend or family member to help stay motivated, use stairs and park further away from store entrances when possible.

• Avoiding commercial tobacco: the number one preventable risk factor for heart disease, never start smoking or using oral tobacco, if you already smoke or use oral tobacco, talk with your provider about ways you can quit, talk with your children about the dangers of commercial tobacco.

• Learning healthy ways to manage stress: Exercise, meditation, and keeping a journal are just some ways that can help decrease stress and improve heart health

Although life changes can be overwhelming and frustrating at times, taking time to learn about risk factors and prevention can help you make healthy choices.

Loving your heart starts with understanding your risk. So, make sure you know all your important health numbers. Visit your health

for local teens, and hires almost exclusively high school students. They enjoy the spot outside of employment, as well. “We do have a lot of the high school crowd that does hang out at our place after school,” Ryan says.

“COVID exposed Weaverville to a whole new kind of tourist,” Ryan says. “We had a lot of travelers coming up to get out of the bigger cities, so our tourism jumped quite a bit.” A lot of Sacramento and Bay Area residents needed an escape from the lockdowns they were living through, and found Weaverville a comfortable oasis. Many who visited because of the need to get out from their own four walls now return regularly purely for leisure.

One event that draws new and old is the Art Walks, hosted on the first Saturday of every month by the Trinity County Arts Council. Local galleries welcome visitors while restaurants and businesses stay open a bit later, and Up North is a participant. Brian Muir describes Ryan as a “driving force to organize activities.”

“After being here for a few years, I’ve kind of put some focus into how to help downtown and how to help it rejuvenate itself,” Ryan says. Up North has impacted the pulse of the downtown area. How they’ve set up their physical space as well as the atmosphere they’ve cultivated create a prime location for high schoolers, young children and their parents, older folks who enjoy the old-timey aesthetic, and just about anyone else who happens by. •

super FOODS

WE’VE ALL HEARD the proverb “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” – which is an abbreviated way of saying “eat healthy foods and you have a better chance of preventing illness.” Apples certainly fit the bill when it comes to nutritious foods, but salmon may be one of the best things you can eat.

If you were to make a list of superfoods, salmon most certainly would rank near the top. It is packed with protein, selenium, phosphorus, and B vitamins. Salmon also is loaded with omega-3 fatty acid – the “good fat” that helps reduce inflammation.

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injuries and infections. It is a biologically natural way of healing, and we all experience it throughout our lives. But chronic inflammation does a lot of damage to your body over time and can result in poor health.

Anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon help keep inflammation in check. Even though some inflammation is normal, chronic inflammation is usually the result of a poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle.

Persistent inflammation can lead to diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It can cause chronic muscle and joint pain and damage healthy tissue cells. Research shows that inflammation can even lead to DNA damage over time, which is linked to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Studies also indicate that the omega-3 fatty acid in salmon can keep your brain sharp as you age and could ease the pain of arthritis.

Wait, there’s more! The body’s largest organ is the skin, and the fatty acids in salmon promote wound healing and reduce the symptoms associated with dermatitis, an inflammatory skin disease.

Let’s set aside the health aspects of this superfood. Not only is salmon delicious, but there are also so many ways to prepare it. Grill it. Poach it. Bake it. Sauté it. Or, like the recipe below, you can broil it.

Speaking for myself, I don’t eat salmon to please my doctor. I eat it because I love the taste and it is impossible to get in a “salmon rut” because there are so many different ways to cook it. •

mindset

When I started at Shasta College, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. So, I started taking some science classes and eventually graduated with an Associate degree in Natural Sciences. But, as you can tell, that was just the start of my journey!

After I graduated, I took a couple of different jobs, and I quickly realized that I wanted to be on my feet, moving around, and using my hands. As a child, I had always wanted to be a firefighter, so I went for it and enrolled at the Shasta College Fire Academy!

As one of the only girls at the Academy, I was a little nervous and shy when I first started. But that didn’t last long! Everyone was very welcoming and supportive and helped me where I needed it—just like they helped each other. I wasn’t just “one of the guys”—I was part of the team. The instructors were incredible and taught me different techniques for my smaller size. Going through the Academy has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life!

My goal after graduation is to complete the Shasta College EMT program next semester, get a job with CalFire, and eventually work for a municipal fire department. From the time spent getting my degree and the rigorous training at the academy, I can say that success is all about having the right attitude, the right mindset, and the right team behind you—like what I found at Shasta College.

CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

FEBRUARY 2023 RECIPE

Most scones have an unfortunate reputation for being dry and unsatisfying, but this recipe is here to change that. These chocolate chip scones are soft, buttery and simply delicious. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea to add some sweetness to your day. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups flour

½ cup sugar

2 T baking powder

½ tsp. salt

10 T butter, cold and cubed

¾ cup heavy whipping cream, cold (plus about 2 T more for tops)

1 T vanilla

1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Raw sugar or sugar sprinkles (for top, optional)

Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature to keep fresh for several days. Scones can be reheated and warmed quickly in the microwave for 8-10 seconds or eaten at room temperature. Enjoy!

Note: Scone dough can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Just brush with heavy whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar immediately before baking.

PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES

BAKE TIME: 10 MINUTES

MAKES: 16 SCONES

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: In a large food processor add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and pulse several times until combined.

Step 2: Cube the cold butter into small chunks and add to the ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until the butter is just combined with the flour mixture.

Step 3: Combine the heavy whipping cream and vanilla in a measuring cup and slowly pour over the flour mixture in the food processor. Pulse until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough. Once combined, pour the dough into a medium-sized bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Separate the dough in half and form into two separate dough balls. Refrigerate the dough to keep cold while prepping for the next step.

Step 5: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Take one of the cold dough balls from the refrigerator, put it on a silicone baking mat or lightly-floured surface, and use your hands to shape into a round disk measuring about 7 to –8 inches in diameter and about ½-inch thick. Once shaped, cut the dough like a pie into 8 triangular slices. Place scones onto the lined baking sheet a couple of inches apart and place in the refrigerator to stay cold. Repeat this step with the other cold dough balls.

Step 6: Right before baking, brush the tops and sides of each scone with heavy whipping cream using a pastry brush. Add raw sugar or sugar sprinkles to the top of each scone and place in the oven to bake. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat this step for the second baking sheet of scones.

Something New

THE MANY SERVICES OF LITTLE RED HEN

THIS MONTH, Enjoy sat down with Gabrielle Green, senior human resources manager of Little Red Hen. This nonprofit organization serves children and adults with developmental disabilities.

Enjoy: Who is the founder of Little Red Hen and how long has Little Red Hen been in existence?

Green: Teresa Wolk Hayes founded Little Red Hen more than 30 years ago to provide services for children and adults with developmental disabilities. Little Red Hen began in 1993 with a children’s swim program and has grown to serve more than 100 children with autism each week. Our supportive employment program started in 2000 with our first official location, Little Red Hen Therapeutic Nursery, and we’ve grown to employing more than 175 people, the vast maority of whom are adults with developmental disabilities.

Enjoy: How many locations does Little Red Hen have?

Green: Altogether, Little Red Hen has 13 locations. We have six retail stores and seven additional locations, including our children’s program facility.

Enjoy: What does each location offer?

Green: Little Red Hen’s six retail locations each offer a unique shopping experience. Little Red Hen Therapeutic Nursery provides for all your gardening needs. We offer a variety of plants, seeds, gardening tools and gardening tips. Little Red Hen Gift Shop is the perfect place to find a gift for someone of any age. Little Red Hen Kids & Kitchen Store offers every possible kitchen gadget you can imagine. Little Red Hen Floral & More provides beautiful handcrafted bouquets and arrangements, wedding services, workshops and more. Little Red Hen Vintage is like a walk down memory lane, offering vintage and vintage-inspired treasures. Little Red Hen Home, our newest addition, offers stunning glassware, pillows,

tableware and wall decor for your home. Park & Garden, next to Spiteri’s Deli, is open to the public where you can enjoy our gardens and mosaics. Employees at Park & Garden and our greenhouse learn horticulture skills including plant care and cultivation. The Home annex and online offices both provide our employees the opportunity to develop their administrative, promotional and technical skills. We have two Tools and Trade locations that teach basic carpentry skills, furniture restoration, ceramics and more. Little Red Hen believes that adults with developmental disabilities deserve a job with dignity, and each Little Red Hen location strives to offer this.

Enjoy: When did you add wedding services, and what do you provide? Green: We added wedding services to our floral offerings in 2009. It was a natural extension to our services and provided additional skill development opportunities for our team. We provide for all your floral-related needs. Our floral store will create bridal bouquets, corsages, centerpieces and any other floral decorations you might want. We also have some rental options that include arches, vases and lanterns; however, our primary service is floral design.

Enjoy: Tell us about your bridal registry.

Green: Our bridal registry is offered to the bride and groom to put together a list of their favorite Little Red Hen products. This allows friends and family to select wedding gifts from the bride and groom’s personalized Little Red Hen registry. •
