What a wonderful road we’ve traveled together, and we thank our advertisers, our contributors, our staff and especially you — our loyal readers — for making all of our wishes come true. Ready to dive into another issue? Let’s go!

It’s the season for ghosts and goblins — a perfect time to check out a real-life ghost story. Former Redding resident Eric Vollmers guides haunted history tours of Eureka’s Old Town district (perhaps you’ll see the ghost of a 19th century sea captain, searching for his lost wife on the waterfront).

If you’re looking for a shorter Sunday drive, meander up Interstate 5 to sip a pint at Dunsmuir Brewery Works, a friendly brewpub and eatery has quickly become a destination for locals and travelers alike. Or follow in the tire tracks of the Ladies of Harley — leather-clad women who are wild about their Harley-Davidsons.

Some ride alone, others occupy the passenger seat, but all say there’s no more thrilling way to see the sights.

Closer to home, check out the seventh annual Silent Film Festival at Old City Hall, where you’ll be treated to six feature-length films and a collection of comedy shorts, with a ragtime pianist providing live accompaniment.

Meet Dan Waldrop, who provides the gift of sight to people in desperate need during Project Homeless Connect. We’ll also introduce you to women who are providing specialized massage and spa treatments to help nurture patients who are battling cancer.

Then peek into the storied life of Frank Nazarirod, who’s tended bar at the Squire Room since 1970. His last vacation was in 1978, but the hard-working immigrant wouldn’t have it any other way. “I always keep in mind that we are here to be loved, respected and honored, and to help each other,” Nazarirod says.

Another guy who’s great at his job is Jamie Davies, the congenial owner of Tattooz Ink in Redding and one of 16 contestants on Spike TV’s “Ink Masters.” He’s thrilled to have been selected and we can’t wait to see how he finishes.

Here’s to many more inspirational years together. Celebrate and enjoy!

History

eric vollmers ’ old town haunted history tours in eureka

Hans Henry Buhne, the 19th Century Danish sea captain credited with piloting the first ship into Humboldt Bay, was a pillar of the Eureka community who enjoyed success as a merchant, dairyman, tugboat captain and more.

Alas, he was not immune to tragedy. In 1866, when his wife Mary returned from a shopping expedition to San Francisco, Buhne went out into the bay to greet her. Eager to see her husband, she boarded his boat and, under shrouded circumstances, fell into the bay and drowned.

Some say the ghost of Capt. Buhne, still searching for his lost wife, inhabits the Buhne General Merchandise building he erected on the waterfront some 150 years ago.

That’s just one of the snippets of history, lore and the possibly paranormal that Eric Vollmers enjoys sharing with clients who sign up for one of his guided tours of Eureka’s Old Town district.

Vollmers, a Redding native and former Shasta College assistant basketball coach, moved to the coast in 1993 for a teaching position at Arcata High School and the opportunity to coach some prep basketball.

Local history has long been a topic of interest for Vollmers, whose ancestors established the Vollmers Summer Resort, featured in the August issue of Enjoy. Currently, his interests include identifying and mapping American Indian settlements in the Upper Sacramento River canyon and working on a Joaquin Miller appreciation project.

His interest in Eureka’s colorful history began with an idea from his sister, Shan Vollmers, a teacher at Boulder Creek Elementary School in Redding. “Shan went on a ghost tour in San Francisco and suggested I do something similar in Old Town Eureka,” he says. “I sat on it for two or three months, and then one day I went walking around Old Town, introduced myself and asked people what they could tell me about their buildings. What they told me was astonishing. By the end of that day, I came home and wrote up the stories I heard and I had 15 pages’ worth of stories.”

In addition to collecting stories from locals and business owners, Vollmers dug into historical records, old periodicals, biographies, census data and records maintained by the Humboldt Historical Society and the Clarke Historical Museum. continued on page 18 October 2012 Enjoy 17

Vollmers tried out his tour on some Humboldt State University graduate students and teachers and received a very favorable response. After a little fine-tuning, he formally launched Old Town Haunted History Tours.

The tour lasts about 90 minutes and takes guests on an easy 1-mile walk through Eureka’s Old Town district, with Vollmers periodically stopping along the way to talk about the colorful characters that populated the Victorian-era seaport.

Each tour begins at the foot of C Street on the marina—an appropriate spot to start, since the waterfront played a big role in Eureka’s early history. Boisterous sailors and lumberjacks would gather there by the hundreds, many transported from logging camps on company-owned railcars, to take advantage of cheap lodging, plentiful saloons and the dozens of brothels.

Guests also get to admire the grand buildings that cemented Eureka’s status as the north coast hub of commerce and culture.

Through his research and conversations, Vollmers was able to peek behind the buildings’ ornamentation and lavish architectural embellishments and uncover a trove of stories.

There are tales of tunnels that reportedly house the spirits of persecuted Chinese; Prohibition-era speakeasies haunted by the victims of fisticuffs and gunfire; hotel rooms visited by the mischievous ghosts of poorly treated chambermaids; and a female apparition known to orbit a chandelier in a former brothel.

Famous names pop up on the tour, including the noted author 18 Enjoy October 2012

Jack London, who was known to enjoy the bawdy, working-class waterfront environment. Vollmers tells the reported tale of a fistfight in the Oberon Saloon that erupted during an argument between London, a staunch socialist, and Stanwood Murphy, a conservative Republican and owner of the Pacific Lumber Co. The tour also features the work of timber baron William Carson, whose impressive Carson Block building still stands. Seeking to refine the town, he included the three-story Ingomar Theatre, which he named after his favorite opera, “Ingomar the Barbarian.” An earthquake later toppled the theatre’s chimney and the dislodged bricks crushed a woman—adding yet another chapter to Old Town’s haunted history. • www.oldtownhauntedhistorytours.com (707) 672-5012 Tour rates are $20, adults; $15, students with discounts available for groups of 15 or more.

Business

into art

a melo place in mount shasta Atara Melo is a woman who takes the layers of life and creates art. Her curiosity is a paintbrush, using the colors of her palette to make beauty appear. After living for years in Israel, Melo returned to California and began thinking of a childhood friend, Paul Melo. Finding his name on the internet, she discovered he resided in Mount Shasta. She contacted him, but he turned out to be another person with the same name.

Melo turned a disappointment into art. She says, “I married him.” Melo now takes the pieces of life and forms them into meaning, the fundamental philosophy of her business, A Melo Place.

Her shop is a collage of retail store, art school and conversation. Painting, crafts and music swirl to life. Students, customers and teachers mingle in community, forming a whimsical mix of creativity and friendship. “People want to create. This is place creates that atmosphere,” she says. The store contains the tools, supplies and know-how to help people create in any sorts of medium. “If you want to make greeting cards, we carry the paper and supplies you need. We’ll help you accomplish whatever your project may be, even finding a craft facilitator to help you learn how to do your project.”

The store provides workshops and classes, and past instruction includes pine needle basket weaving, ukulele camp for kids, decoupage and jewelry making. “You can fit into our schedule or come by our ‘do-ityourself ’ hours. The idea is to relax and be free to pursue your natural creativity,” Melo says.

Her vision came not just from her own creativity, which bubbles from her, but education and experience.

With a master’s degree in social science and education, she is an experienced art therapist. Having worked in private and public settings, she uses art to wrap around and develop the whole person. Her own art includes batik, painting, sculpture and an ongoing list of art techniques as she continues to develop her own skills.

“I enjoy working with people of all ages, seeing them find their own creativity,” she says. “I’ve found joy in working with people with disabilities and watching them blossom as they discover what they can create.”

The retail store is full of beads, jewelry findings, craft paper, stamps, inks, punches and feathers. Here  continued on page 22 October 2012 Enjoy 21

await the raw materials to bring dreams into reality. Locally made art and cards are available for those looking for ready-made items. A digital lab is available, where Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator await those who create in the digital realm. A Melo Place also hosts birthday parties, providing setup, cleanup, decorations and a craft activity.

Melo’s idea of opening her business came from watching people in Israel. “So many people there do not return home right after work. They join small communities. They set their hands to paint, sculpt, perfect their use of a musical instrument. This adds a richness to their lives and I wanted to establish a space where that could happen here.” Many of the activities require no prior experience. One of the best features is that staff is there to clean up afterwards, allowing the time to truly be therapeutic.

Here, people gather from many situations. People with Alzheimer’s disease find their hands busy and productive. Seniors find a safe place to spend an afternoon. Parents bring in children to learn, while experienced artists meet and hone their craft. The paintings, jewelry and music fill the walls and shelves, creating an atmosphere of accomplishment.

For those needing inspiration, a library of ideas is found in books and examples in the store. Projects are priced by the hour, plus materials used. Discounts are provided for those using recycled materials or bringing enough materials to share.

Melo dances between people as beads are sold, instructors set up rooms and questions flow over the phone. As she sits amid her world she reflects, “Sometimes its good to just have a cup a tea.” • www.ameloplace.com 417 Chestnut Street, Mount Shasta • (530) 859-1296

FRANK

THE SQUIRE ROOM’S OWN FRANK NAZARIROD Establishments that provide a connection to an older era of Redding are becoming scarce.

There’s Jack’s Grill and Nello’s Place, of course. And subtly located at the east end of a brick building on Tehama Street, there’s also the Squire Room.

In addition to being an ancient lounge that dates back to the ‘50s, the Squire is home to well-known bartender Frank Nazarirod.

Known simply as “Frank” to patrons young and old, Nazarirod is synonymous with the Squire Room where he’s worked since 1970.

He started as a busboy back when the Squire was one of the area’s most popular restaurants.

“This guy is an icon of Redding,” says Gary Flint of Nazarirod.

“Back in the ‘70s, my parents ( Jerry and Grace Flint) used to come here when this place was a top-of-the-line steakhouse. People would wear suits and mink coats and it was THE event. They used to serve incredible meals.

“Frank IS the Squire Room. Without Frank, that’s it.”

Nazarirod says he’s semi-retired — he only works six nights a week and only stays until 2 am on Friday and Saturday nights. Still, he should be all rested up — he took a two-week vacation back in 1978.

He was born in the northern Iranian city of Rasht in 1943, and came to the United States at age 25 after having worked as a continued on page 26 October 2012 Enjoy 25

elementary school teacher and principal in his home country. He attended Shasta College and later earned a master’s degree in business administration from Chico State University.

At the Squire, he found an occupation that’s an excellent fit for his love of people.

“I always keep in mind that we are here to be loved, respected and honored, and to help each other,” Nazarirod says. “I’m a behavior therapist. People come here and they have to have respect. I’m here to enjoy customers and enjoy my job. That’s it.”

After so many nights and so much “therapy,” Frank has seen a little bit of everything. The lounge, owned by Beverly Gunari (and the late Jim Gunari), has gone through several cycles. It used to serve mostly older, longtime customers, then become very popular with twentysomethings and today is a mix of many ages.

What hasn’t changed much in 50 years is the look of the place.

Night or day, the Squire tends to be dark inside. Its orange-padded railing along the bar and orange seats are iconic. Red Christmas lights glow off the bottles and everything gets bathed in shades of red and orange. Two metal chicken reliefs on the wall above the bar have only moved in recent years to accommodate a wide-screen TV. “The coolest thing about this place is if you took a photo from 1962, it would look exactly the same as it does today,” says Flint.

Well-known for years, Nazarirod’s profile received an extra boost in 1999 when the late north state rocker Slam Buckra penned the song “Frank” as an ode to the Squire and its bartender. The song includes lines about “gettin’ wired at the Squire,” while “Frank was looking mighty proud.” Buckra’s refrain was, “I gotta get where my action is at. Frank, I’ll have another glass of that.”

“The CD used to be in the jukebox,” Nazarirod says. “It’s still in the back. Slam was a good guy. He died young, you know.”

Nazarirod’s well-known drinks include Jolly Ranchers (peach and watermelon Schnapps, vodka, cranberry juice and grenadine) and white Russians (Kahlua, vodka and cream). He keeps an eye on patrons to judge whether they’re fit to drive home. He’s called countless cabs for customers and even driven many people home over the years.

Being a late-night establishment, there’s always a potential for an evening to go sideways. But Nazarirod seems to have plenty of allies around and a keen ability to calm people down.

“After 40 years, people know me pretty well and they are safe here,” he says. “They trust me. There are no problems. You should care about everyone. If you help people it comes back to you, you know what I mean?” • The Squire Room 1336 Tehama Street, Redding (530) 244-5848

T H E O R I O N , AWA R D - W I N N I N G U N I V E R S I T Y N E W S PA P E R You won’t find cutesy cartoons or kitschy quizzes in The Orion.

Hard-hitting journalism is the hallmark of Chico State University’s newspaper, and its string of national accolades have piled up to prove it: It’s amassed more than 60 major awards in the past 20 years and continues to set the bar for collegiate newspaper publishing.

The independent, student-run weekly paper has a staff of almost 60, a circulation of 7,000 and an approximate readership of 17,000. The free newspaper is distributed not just at the university, but at more than 90 off-campus locations.

Its creation provides authentic work experience in Chico State’s journalism program, where practical classes prepare students to become workforce-ready communicators.

Among its most coveted honors include the Pacemaker Award for General Excellence, the biggest prize in college journalism, which it has received 11 times since 1989 (it’s been nominated again this year).

It has been the Associated Collegiate Press’ National Newspaper of the Year nine times since 1998, and was inducted into the Associated Collegiate Press Hall of Fame in 2005.

Most of this success was accumulated under the leadership of journalism professor Dave Waddell, a former newspaper journalist who served as faculty adviser from 1996 until his retirement in 2011.

He was named Distinguished Adviser of the Year in 2006 by College Media Advisers, Inc. The staff is now advised by Mark Plenke, who was a journalism

instructor and newspaper adviser at a Minnesota community college for 10 years before coming to Chico State this year. “There’s a tradition here and a set of norms about putting out a serious newspaper,” Plenke says. “The tradition has been handed down from editor to editor. They’re rigorous. This is a top-flight journalism school.”

The Department of Journalism and Public Relations is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council on Journalism and Mass Communication. “What this means to students is that they are ensured instruction by faculty committed to maintaining the quality of what is recognized as one of the best journalism and PR programs in the Western United States,” says Dr. Susan Brockus Wiesinger, the department chair.

“Our students enter our program with the general notion that they like to write, and leave with war stories about real-world problem solving, management experience and robust portfolios to show potential employers,” Wiesinger says. “Our faculty integrate writing, ethics, diversity, numeracy and technology skills throughout the program. We emphasize multiplatform storytelling, which means that we teach our students to tell a story using whatever media best fit the topic – whether it’s a 1,000-word news story, a 140-character tweet, a blog, a photo essay and/or a video,” Wiesinger says.

been a journalism major since freshman year, and was a copy editor and managing editor before landing the top job at The Orion. She interned at the Sacramento Bee’s copy desk over the summer.

“It’s been the greatest experience of my college time so far,” Gardner says. “It’s given me the tools to work in any newsroom after graduation.”

Today’s journalists need to think beyond ink and paper, she says, and The Orion is doing exactly that with its website (www.theorion.com), frequent updates on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and daily webcasts. “We have a big emphasis on the ‘daily digital’ and ‘daily first,’” Gardner says. “We’re using all the media that’s available to reach our readers, so they get the news quickly. It doesn’t make sense to wait a week to report news we have now.”

As a student-managed publication, The Orion staff operates the newspaper independently. The faculty adviser is a mentor who provides guidance; all editorial decisions are left up to the staff, and advertising revenue supports the publication, just like at a metropolitan paper.

“We have 100 percent control over the things we cover. We’re not influenced by any institutions,” Gardner says. “We just report the news.”

They take this charge seriously.

“It’s a giant commitment. You get out what you put into it. You basically commit your life in college to this paper,” says Gardner, who is one of a handful of editors who earn a monthly stipend. “You want to continue this tradition of excellence.”•

Quiet Set on the

S ilent F ilm F estival takes viewers back in time There was a time when movies weren’t streamed into your computer. They weren’t available day and night by the hundreds on TV. They weren’t filmed with digital cameras or shown in 3-D. Heck, there was a time when movies didn’t even have sound.

The Shasta County Arts Council will be happy to take you back to that time, at least for a weekend, at the seventh annual Silent Film Festival on Oct. 19-20 at Old City Hall in downtown Redding.

Six feature-length films will be screened along with a collection of comedy shorts. Frederick Hodges, a noted ragtime and stride pianist, returns to Redding to accompany the films.

Don’t confuse silent with low quality or unsophisticated.

In the words of John Hildreth, a former Chico resident who directed last year’s event, one of the goals of the festival “is to show younger people that everything old isn’t stupid. These movies are still good. They are not the silly silent movies you see on TV sometimes.

“These are the real deal. People laugh and cry, just like today. The people who made these movies invented the grammar of film. It had to be visually interesting. That’s where the excitement comes from. Chase scenes, the superhero pictures—they all come from a style perfected in the silent film,” Hildreth says.

Debra Lucero, the arts council’s executive director, says when it comes to films, silence can speak volumes. “With continued on page 34

someone the caliber of Frederick Hodges playing piano and watching films made by masters… you don’t feel assaulted. You’re interpreting with your eyes and the piano music stimulates your brain. When I walk out, I feel like my brain just had a tune-up.”

“It’s a unique kind of experience,” agrees Peter Hogue, a retired Chico State University cinema studies and English professor who wrote the program notes for this year’s festival.

“The silent movie form is a different kind of movie than what we’re used to seeing with sound. It’s definitely of historic value, also.

Seeing them in the festival setting, projected images on a relatively big screen with musical accompaniment, is a way of re-creating the circumstances when they were first shown. It’s a chance to experience an important and interesting part of our cultural history.

“This particular festival has a lot of really good silent films.

Whether you’re familiar with silent films or just starting out, it’s a great way to get to know more about silent films and get a chance to experience that special kind of magic that goes with a silent movie that is properly projected and accompanied with fine music,” Hogue says.

The films will be introduced by David Shepard of Hat Creek, an internationally renowned film historian and film restoration expert who has been instrumental in building the festival since its start.

Shepard likens the viewing of a silent film, with its nuance and shading, to reading a well-written novel. “A silent movie well done is an art into itself that uses image, movement, light and shadow and performance and graphics and music to create a mood, tell a story and reveal a character. You get the pleasure of watching all those things with your brain turned on.”

Shepard dug into his sizable collection to unearth some classics for the festival. The festival begins with a 75-minute “laugh hour” of comedy shorts, including “Your Darn Tootin’” with Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin’s “The Rink,” “The Boat” with Buster Keaton and “Frogland,” an animated puppet film from France.

“We started that comedy show as a way to get young people interested in silent movies and it’s been very successful. This year we are doing it twice. The films are great and Frederick Hodges is such a fine pianist, it makes it twice as fun,” Shepard says.

Friday night’s feature is “Greed,” a 1924 film directed by Erich von Stroheim. “It’s a film about what the lust for money does to the human spirit. It’s a very serious film, done in a hyper realistic style,” Shepard says.

The director intended it as an eight-hour epic to be viewed over two nights, but new owners of the studio lost interest in such a project and cut it down to 150 minutes. “It’s the bones of what Stroheim intended but still a very powerful film,” Shepard says. It’s based on the novel “McTeague” by Frank Norris.

Saturday’s lineup includes “The Lost World,” a 1925 sensation that was adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel. Shepard says the film is noteworthy for Willis O’Brien’s stop-motion special effects.

O’Brien went on to work on the original “King Kong.”

“The Great K&A Train Robbery” is a fast-moving Western starring the legendary cowboy actor Tom Mix, who performed all his own stunts on horseback. That barn burner is followed by “Mother,” a Russian film made in 1926 by V.I. Pudovkin, who Shepard describes as an important film theorist and director.

34 Enjoy October 2012

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s treatment of adultery, “The Scarlet Letter,” was fairly raw stuff for the ’20s, Shepard says, yet screen star Lillian Gish persuaded Louis B. Mayer to make the film in 1926 and the result is “probably one of the six or eight best silent dramas that I’ve ever seen. It’s beautifully directed and beautifully acted.”

Gish and her sister, Dorothy, also star in the festival’s final film, D.W. Griffith’s “Orphans of the Storm.” Based on the French Revolution, it is adapted from an early 20th century play. “Griffith turned it from a small play into a giant movie, with a lot of important actors of the period. It’s not as famous as ‘Birth of a Nation’ but it’s as good,” Shepard says. • 7th Annual Silent Film Festival Friday, Oct. 19: 6 pm: “Laugh Show”; 8 pm: “Greed” Saturday, Oct. 20 10 am: “Laugh Show”; 11:30 am: “The Lost World” and a short film, “The Ghost of Slumber Mountain”; 1:30 pm: “The Great K & A Train Robbery” and a short film, “Danger Ahead”; 3 pm: “Mother” 5 pm: “The Scarlet Letter”; 7:30 pm: “Orphans of the Storm” Tickets: $8 per film, advance; $10 at the door; $2, children 12 and younger; $45, all-festival pass (530) 241-7320

ON THE ROAD WITH THE LADIES OF HARLEY

38 Enjoy October 2012

Big Bike Weekend rumbles into town this month with proud owners showing off a diversity of makes, models and regalia during three days of events. Among the participants will be the Ladies of Harley.

They all wear leathers emblazoned with their club insignia.

At their monthly meetings, they share stories of children and grandchildren, their daily joys and challenges at work or at home, and exchange ideas and information about their motorcycles. At a recent monthly meeting, the order of business included a jewelry party. The ladies represent a cross section of the North State community with one thing in common: they love their Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

An adjunct to the Harley Owners Group, Ladies of Harley represents the distinctly feminine branch of the group.

Some ride their own Harleys, while others prefer to occupy the passenger seats of their partners’ bikes. All have found a common bond of friendship that looks very much like a family, related around a common interest with spokes that reach into

all parts of their lives. According to one Ladies of Harley member, eight percent of Harley riders nationally are women, but locally, the Harley Owners Group membership is 18 percent female and growing.

Ladies of Harley Director Pam Buono joined the group for several reasons. She and her husband had migrated from Boston many years ago, where Pam worked for HarleyDavidson. They rode independently, but after her husband’s death, Pam got tired of riding alone. She felt the need to meet like-minded people, and she knew riding with others was smarter and safer. She found “good, honest, wonderful” people who “have my back.”

Pam’s friend, Angel Riley, has been a member since 2006.

She rides behind her husband. Among the many events on their yearly calendar, Angel particularly looks forward to the Patriot Tour which begins in Washington, D.C. Harley riders carry an American flag from city to city across the country to raise money for wounded veterans through the Nation of continued on page 40 October 2012 Enjoy 39

Patriots organization. The flag is passed on to a new group of riders for each leg of the journey. Angel and her husband rode in the 2010 tour. This year the flag passed through the North State in early August and ended at the Harley-Davidson dealership in Oconomowoc, Wisc., on Sept. 1. Angel says the Redding Harley Owners Group is very patriotic, sponsoring many veteran-related projects and events.

A Harley Owners Group club from South Africa toured the United States in 2011, stopping off for some friendly exchanges with the Redding chapter. “We’re all the same,” Angel says. They participate in group road trips, holiday parades, contribute goods and services to charitable causes and enjoy good food together.

There is no lack of variety in either their clothing or their bikes. Ladies’ styles run from classic to total “bling” when they embellish their leathers and helmets.

They earn patches for each year of membership and for participation in scheduled activities. Pam Graeff might be considered a “girly girl” with her classy jewelry and blinged-out leathers and helmet, but once she sat astride her own Harley for the first time, she never wanted to ride behind her husband again. Her skull and crossbones head scarf adds to the feisty and outgoing personality she brings to the group.

Debbie Allison started riding her own bike at age 50. “I like being in control,” she admits with a smile.

Franziska Winn started riding when her husband passed away six years ago. She wanted to continue her association with the group, so she learned to ride her husband’s Harley and says she never wants to ride on the back seat again. Kathy Sonnenberg, newly retired, enjoys riding the “trike” her husband bought for her. Sharon Rodrigues had been a passenger all her life. Now she rides her own trike with a side car. “It’s never too late,” she declares with a smile.

This month, Ladies of Harley will be among the many riders coming together during Big Bike Weekend Oct. 12-14. Many Ladies of Harley members plan to ride in the “All-Bike” just-for-ladies event on Saturday organized by Nanci Rogers, owner of Ace High Leathers of Montague. The ladies, riding all makes and models of motorcycles, will line up at Holiday Inn on Hilltop Drive, head to Shasta Dam for a photo shoot and meander back to Holiday Inn. Says Rogers, “My goal is to see how many ladies I can round up for the ride.” • Redding Chapter of Harley Owners Group: www.reddinghog.com Big Bike Weekend events: www.bigbikeweekend.com

ALEX MARSHALL SIGN

S ATURE CERAMIC

A L E X M A R S H A L L S T U D I O S ’ C E R A M I C WA R E S Whether you prefer the finest gourmet beans or a swirl of instant coffee and powdered creamer, the mug that delivers your morning cup of joe can make all the difference in how pleasurable the drinking experience is.

At Alex Marshall Studios in Tehama County, the humble mug has become elevated to the signature piece of a full product line of ceramic dinnerware and home accessories, including a baby line, that can be found in places like the Sundance catalog, Barney’s, Gump’s and Serena and Lily. Alex and her husband, Andrew Barry, offer 120 forms and more than 20 signature glazes in, as Alex describes, a “unifying aesthetic throughout the line.”

While the likes of photographer Cindy Sherman and Robert

Redford are serving from Alex Marshall dinnerware—the latter using the original oversized and heavy designs at his St. Helena vineyard— many more are enjoying their morning beverage from the carefully designed mugs that have evolved over time.

The original Alex Marshall mug “started out really rustic and oversized and heavy,” says Alex. As people noted that their drinks were getting cold before they could finish them, the designs got smaller to accommodate less. The end result is a mug with ample handle space, large enough for a full drink yet small enough to keep it hot and not take up too much space in the cupboard. Indentations in the sides allow hands to wrap around the body of the mug comfortably to stay warm. continued on page 44 October 2012 Enjoy 43

The mugs and their organic, rustic aesthetic are the signature of the Alex Marshall lines in a market she describes as “so niche oriented.” They answered the important question, “What can we do that’s going to separate us from everyone else?” that Alex and Andrew put to themselves when going into the business.

And while the mugs are hugely popular, they are just one of many offerings from the studio. Lamps, vases, serving ware, candles and other accessories complement the dinnerware or stand well on their own. Alex enjoys finding multiple uses for her forms. The same giraffe shape in the baby line can be a bank or a lamp. The mug form without a handle gets filled with wax from a Redding candle company and takes on a new use.

While the business of designing and manufacturing ceramic home wares has morphed into a lifestyle for Alex, Andrew and their 4 1/2-year-old daughter, Akiva, it’s a development that evolved as organically as the aesthetic they create.

Originally from the east coast, Alex moved to San Francisco to earn an master’s degree in conceptual art at the San Francisco Art Institute. Upon graduation, she opened a small studio in Mill Valley but had to also work retail to keep up with high rents. Andrew lived in New York, and the two were going from coast to coast to see each other. Eventually, Alex started getting orders for custom dinnerware and Andrew moved to the west coast, bringing with him a temperamental and shaggy cat that today lays claim to their property. Together, the couple developed the Alex Marshall product line and brand.

While the business is 10 years old, the move to Tehama County happened eight years ago when their third-party caster moved to Red Bluff. The family found the ideal home and studio space that accommodates all of their business needs while allowing them to live and work together in a low-stress environment.

“We really are a two-person show,” says Alex, noting that they 44 Enjoy October 2012

only have time to showcase their wares twice a year at the New York International Gift Show. “We’re actually manufacturing it ourselves,” Andrew says of their product. And production stops if they’re away.

“It’s hard but it’s amazing,” adds Alex.

While the brand is successful and continues to grow, the couple seems most proud of the life they are able to create for Akiva. Alex cherishes the fact that she and Andrew show her daily that “we make things and we work together.” As for the division of labor, Alex notes that her job is to “organize production and get it through the kiln” while Andrew does “everything else,” from assembling lamps to processing orders and cultivating clients.

Locally, Alex Marshall Studios products can be found at Enjoy the Store in Redding and Zucchini and Vine in Chico. Eventually, they would love to open an outlet store and have open studio tours, but the plans are still very far out. Akiva keeps the couple as busy as the business.

Most nights, the three electric kilns of Alex Marshall Studios fire through the night, capping off days of creativity and togetherness for this family of three that has found the North State not only good for business, but for each other as well. • www.alexmarshallstudios.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

“They are a positive and nurturing experience, and you need that when battling cancer.”

These treatments are Oncology Esthetics® and Oncology Massage, therapeutic interventions for cancer patients already being used in Canada and Europe and “They are a positive now gaining attention in the United States. and nurturing Ermenc, who refers her cancer patients, says Oncology Massage in particular can help relieve pain experience, and you and side effects from chemotherapy.

Kate Ermenc “I think there are many people in the community, doctors and estheticians, who aren’t aware these services exist,” says Tina Peterson, a Certified Oncology Esthetician and owner of Infusion Skin Spa in Redding. “The Oncology Esthetics® treatment is a Soft Touch spa treatment that  continued on page 50

is gentler. We do not use microdermabrasion, microcurrent or other modalities that would irritate the skin.”

As an Oncology Esthetician, Peterson is trained in gentle massage techniques and is educated on common cancer medications and interventions, their effects on the skin and how to safely work with clients to repair and heal skin damaged by cancer treatment. “With cancer on the rise and more people being diagnosed, it’s important that when they walk through our doors, we know how to treat them,” she says.

Patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation can receive an Oncology Esthetics® treatment, but Peterson adds, “It depends on where they are in their cancer treatment and also on the location of the cancer. We have them complete an intake form and then review with them their cancer therapy and medications to determine whether it’s the right place and time for an esthetic treatment.”

Marti Darcangelo, a Certified Oncology Esthetician and Oncology Massage therapist in Redding, says the most common side effects to the skin from cancer treatments are inflammation, soreness and burns from radiation. She and Peterson both use paraben-free and sulfate-free skin products formulated for people with sensitive skin.

“A typical session for either Oncology Massage or Oncology Esthetics® differs from a standard session in a number of ways,” says Darcangelo. “These differences include using unscented products, providing sufficient warmth for temperature sensitive clients, adjusting session length to accommodate how the client is feeling, modifying massage pressure, touch and speed and creating a calm and relaxed ambience that doesn’t feel clinical.”

As an Oncology Massage therapist, Darcangelo is certified to treat clients in infusion centers and hospitals, as well as privately in office. She says standard massage and esthetician training teach

practitioners not to work on cancer patients and adds that many are afraid of hurting these clients or damaging their bodies. As a result, her Oncology Massage specialization has attracted many who are health-challenged; in addition to clients with cancer, she also treats those with brain injuries, ALS and surgical implants.

While Darcangelo hopes Oncology Esthetics® and Oncology Massage will soon become mainstream, only a small number of practitioners are currently trained in these methods; in January, she was the only practitioner from California at a training on Oncology Massage for hospitalized patients.

While Darcangelo is working with Redding hospitals and rehabilitation centers to bring these services to patients, Peterson plans to educate local beauty colleges on the necessity for including Oncology Esthetics® as part of standard esthetician training.

Neither treatment is yet covered by medical insurance, but Darcangelo says, “I’m cognizant of the costs incurred by clients going through cancer treatment and I offer my health challenged clients a lower rate.” Peterson also offers special pricing for Oncology Esthetics® clients.

“I do feel like you have to be called to this work,” says Darcangelo. “It’s not just a job; a passion is required.” • www.martidarcangelo.com www.infusionskinspa.com

J A M I E D AV I E S O F TAT T O O Z I N K TA K E S A R U N AT ‘ I N K M A S T E R S ’ Unless you have a black light, you won’t find a single tattoo on Jamie Davies’ body.

But that hasn’t stopped the owner of Tattooz Ink from making his mark on his industry - and today, his sights are set on becoming Ink Master.

He’s one of the 16 elite artists selected for the second season of “Ink Masters,” which premieres Oct. 9 on Spike TV. The winner takes home a $100,000 prize and the coveted title of Ink Master.

About 13,000 tattoo artists applied to be on the show.

“We encouraged folks to get a hold of us if they felt they had the skills for the new season,” says Chris Rantamaki, Vice President of Original Programming for Spike TV, who oversees production of Ink Master. “The casting team just scours all of the United States, searching for the best tattoo artists.”

What made Davies stand above the rest? “The first thing was his artwork,” Rantamaki says. “He specializes in portraits and realism, and he’s great with color. Look at the eyes in his portraits - it’s really difficult to get that realistic look. It’s like there’s a spark of life in the eyes.”

The casting process is arduous, and “you don’t officially know you’re going until you’re ready to leave,” says Davies, 36. “Then you just pack up and ship off. Everything’s top secret - you have to keep it a secret from your family and coworkers and everybody.”

That can be tricky for a family man who owns a busy, upscale tattoo and body piercing studio. “I made up a cover story about working with another artist on the East Coast. It made enough sense that it got us through until I got back,” Davies says.

The contestants’ first challenge was laid down before they even set foot in their New York City living quarters, a loft with a tattoo shop downstairs. “It was a flash challenge, testing our artistic skill,” Davies says. “It’s something random. Last season, they did pin-striping cars and graffiti - it’s something that has nothing to do with tattooing, but is artistically based.”

Tattooing is a career that the Foothill High School alum “fell into” at a young age. “I’d go with my friends as they turned 18 and design tattoos for them,” he says. “I thought you couldn’t make a good living off of art; I never realized I’d go so far with it.”  continued on page 56 October 2012 Enjoy 55

After working at other tattoo studios for almost 10 years, he opened Tattooz Ink in 2003. He calls tattooing a “perfect fit for my artistic skill set,” as it includes medical aspects as well as the challenge of translating clients’ ideas into art that looks good for a lifetime. He has strived to be the best from day one, and spending time with the masters of his trade was a thrill.

“You go to the challenge thinking you’re going there to compete: not to make friends, but to win. You’re forced to live 24 hours a day with other top artists, and that really became the highlight of the whole experience for me - not only to be critiqued by judges and to compete with the other guys, but to work with them instead of against them,” Davies says.

The experience helped him grow exponentially as an artist. “When you get to a certain level, it’s hard to get an honest critique like you do when you’re starting out,” he says. “This was like an expert-level boot camp.”

56 Enjoy October 2012

Davies can’t reveal how he finished (tune in to find out), but producers say he gets plenty of screen time. And he’ll be easy to spot - he’s the contestant whose only tattoo (on his neck) is invisible without a black light. “I am the inkless tattoo master,” he says with a laugh. • Ink Master, Season 2 Season debut: 10 pm Oct. 9 (two back-to-back episodes) Spike TV (check your local listings for channel) Note: Jamie Davies hopes to organize some viewing parties this fall.

Dining

O R D E R U P AT V I C ’ S B R A N D I N G I R O N I N COT TO N WO O D There are 19 seats at the counter of Vic’s Branding Iron in Cottonwood, and each has been laid claim to by the many who dine there on a daily basis. “We’ve got a lot of older guys and they all sit in the exact same seat,” says manager Vic Woolery, 67, of his Shasta Livestock Auction yard institution. “They feel bad if someone else gets their seat. But most of them are here at 6 o’clock when we open, so it’s not a problem.”

Whether one gets a seat at the counter or a table, a meal at Vic’s Branding Iron, often referred to simply as the Auction Yard, is a peek into the world of the North State cattle industry as well as a study of its past.

The restaurant’s décor is in homage to local ranchers. The cattle brands of more than 100 ranches have been seared into wood blocks that line the walls. “We’re out of room though now, so I’m not sure what we’re going to do,” he says of carrying on the tradition.

Smaller wall spaces showcase local western art, including a pencil drawing of local ranchers at a Cottonwood cattle drive and a 1947 photograph of eight cowboys on horseback at the local McAuliffe Ranch. A piece close to Vic’s heart is an oil done by his friend Betty Toms of Vic in his cattle truck, coming out of the Bidwell Ranch during a freak snowstorm. Drawn from a photograph, he feels it captures perfectly the feel of that memorable day.  continued on page 60 October 2012 Enjoy 59

The restaurant bustles on Fridays, when the weekly cattle auction occurs down the hall. Buyers and sellers arrive from near and far and often talk industry business over the famous chicken fried steak, the popularity of which Vic attributes to gravy. Although business has been good year round, he notes that “we get busy when the rains start and the cattle people come back.” He estimates that 600 to 1,000 head of cattle sell each week in the summer and 2,000 to 4,000 every Friday in the winter.

While the boots of many customers may show evidence of walks through cattle pens, the restaurant has found a following with locals and I-5 travelers alike who appreciate bacon cured by Kent’s Market and the camaraderie of people working hard to make a living.

Whether you’re a regular or one one who stops through once a year on a trip north or south, Vic welcomes you. “There are so many nice people and I think we get all of them,” he says.

Most people find the restaurant via word of mouth or through the cattle business, but one of Vic’s servers, Miranda, is working to bring in even more customers through the use of social media. While Vic just shakes his head in awe of all the possibilities, saying simply, “I’m helpless” at such endeavors, the restaurant has a Facebook page and Yelp listing.

Vic became the manager and namesake of the auction yard’s restaurant about 10 years ago when he decided to close his cattle hauling business. His barbecue and cooking had already garnered quite the reputation at area branding events and the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale, so his take on a restaurant was eagerly anticipated by many.

60 Enjoy October 2012

He continues to cater and is known as much for his New York steaks as the tri-tip that has become ubiquitous at North State events.

“I try to just do cattle events, but I do a lot of other events, too. It seems like I know too many people,” he says with a grin.

Vic also enjoys a spot on the Shasta District Fair Board and uses it to advocate for the hundreds of 4-H and FFA members who show and sell at the junior livestock auction. While he anticipates his tenure ending at the end of his current term, it’s clear he’ll always find a way to support young people raising livestock.

In Vic’s mind, the recipe for success is pretty simple: “I think we have good food,” he says. “We have good ol’ substantial western American food.” There’s that, and a respect for people and tradition as well as a desire to bring the next generation along. When served up with a side of bacon, it’s a blue-ribbon meal. • Vic’s Branding Iron (Shasta Livestock Auction Yard) 3917 Main Street, Cottonwood • (530) 347-4036 Monday-Tuesday: 6 am-3 pm Wednesday-Saturday: 6 am-9 pm Sunday:- 6 am-3 pm

TAP INTO THE TASTE OF THE NORTH STATE

Why settle for a beer that’s been trucked 2,000 miles when you can enjoy a delicious brew crafted right here in Northern California? Turn your next weekend getaway into a celebration of some of the best beers on the planet - see how they’re made, then raise a pint and toast the fine folks who work so hard to create them.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

1075 E. 20th St., Chico • (530) 893-3520 • sierranevada.com

They’re the pioneers of the craft brewing movement, and the folks at Sierra Nevada couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy an indepth tour of the brewhouse and grounds - you’ll be amazed at their commitment to sustainability, customer service and employee satisfaction (happy employees make the best beer!). Together, they brew a million bottles a day. Friendly tour guides will tell you all about Sierra Nevada’s history, or you can take a self-guided tour. Wrap up your visit with a stop at the Taproom and Restaurant - the culinary creations are fresh, locally sourced and delicious.

Mad River Brewing Company

101 Taylor Way, Blue Lake • (707) 668-4151 • madriverbrewing.com

You’ll discover this delightful little destination on Highway 299, right before you hit Highway 101 (and the fog bank) that takes you to the coast. Back in the ‘70s, brewmaster Bob Smith bought his first home brewing supplies from Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman’s home brew shop in Chico.

In 1989, the pair reconnected when Sierra Nevada had outgrown its first brewery, and Grossman sold the original equipment to Smith. Today, Mad River Brewing Company remains true to tradition and committed to handcrafting ales that are known for their unique flavor and rich quality.

Their traditional brewing methods blend with an environmentally sound approach. Afternoon tours are available, and live music is offered on select nights. Some of their specialties are only available in the beautifully appointed tasting room, so make sure to budget some time to sit a spell.

Lost Coast Brewery & Café

617 Fourth St., Eureka • (707) 445-4480 • lostcoast.com

It’s tough to beat a vacation where you can sample some of the country’s best craft beers and dip your toes in the ocean. The Lost Coast Brewery and Café was founded by two women - a pharmacist and a family counselor - who realized their dream by starting their own brewpub in a 100-year-old building in Eureka in 1990. Their beers have a distinctive West Coast flavor, and the cool maritime climate is ideal for fermenting ale yeast. The actual brewery is in an industrial area, a few blocks away from the Lost Coast Brewery and Cafe in downtown Eureka. The friendly folks at the restaurant will set you up with a sampler (10 shot glasses, so you get a little bit of everything and can still walk out the door). They’ll also make sure that your appetite is satisfied - the fish and chips and the Lost Coast Tacos are divine.

YE CARE

DA N ’ S O P T I C A L M A K E S G L A S S E S FOR THE HOMELESS They line up by the dozens, peering at Dan Waldrop from behind taped-up glasses, cracked lenses or reading spectacles from the dollar store.

Some simply squint, because they have no glasses at all.

Many folks take clear sight for granted, but it is a priceless gift for the poverty-stricken people who line up at Dan’s Optical’s booth during Project Homeless Connect. Organized by Northern Valley Catholic Social Services, the annual springtime event is a one-stop gathering for people who are homeless (or at risk of becoming homeless). They get help with services like housing, employment, medical care, benefits, legal assistance and pet care. They can pick up personal hygiene items, get their hair cut and get identification.

And thanks to Waldrop, they can also receive custom-made prescription eyeglasses. He’s been providing the service since Project Homeless Connect began four years ago, and of the 90 vendors who participated last year, just two - Dan’s Optical and Marinello Schools of Beauty - were private businesses, according to event coordinator Jessica Delaney. continued on page 64 October 2012 Enjoy 63

“My business was young and I wasn’t entirely busy,” Waldrop says. “I offered what I do daily, which is making prescription eyewear on site. The turnout was amazing.”

In fact, it was one of the most popular services at the event, which “gave perspective on how the service is needed for patients who are homeless or in poverty,” says Delaney. Last year, 126 people walked away with new glasses.

Most get their glasses the same day, while those who need bifocals or other specialized lenses receive a RABA bus voucher so they can pick them up the next day.

“It’s the gift of sight,” Waldrop says.

“When you give someone something as personal as the ability to see, they show you a genuine sense of appreciation.”

Waldrop, a medically licensed optician, makes eyewear at the only wholesale optical lab north of Paradise. It’s a career path that started when he landed a job at Lenscrafters after graduating from Central Valley High School. While attending Chico State University, he managed the Red Bluff Vision Center. He soon

realized that there was money to be made in selling glasses and that he didn’t want to spend his days in an exam room, so he switched his emphasis to manufacturing.

He managed a retail optical department and then an ophthalmologist’s surgical office, and soon had an opportunity to buy some eyewear manufacturing equipment. “I started my business out of my spare bedroom in my apartment on Hilltop,” he says. Twelve years ago, he moved into his current office in Shasta Lake.

During Project Homeless Connect, he donates his labor, expertise and equipment to the cause, while private donations cover the cost of the raw materials for the glasses. Not a penny goes into his pocket on what is certainly the busiest day of his year.

Once those glasses are on the bridge of a person’s nose, the world opens up. “They’re able to fill out a DMV application for identification; they can read a flyer to find out where to get food,” says Waldrop, the father of two young children. “Can you really put a price on the value of sight?”

Delaney agrees. “It’s an absolute gift to the community,” she says.

“When a child living in a motel or tent can walk away and see that day, that’s heartwarming.” • Dan’s Optical • (530) 275-8581 4624 Shasta Dam Boulevard • Shasta Lake

Music

by the music four decades of sound from acoustic guitarist leo kottke After more than four decades as one of the world’s most skilled, imaginative and respected acoustic guitarists, Leo Kottke’s career has produced dozens of albums and notable collaborations.

Wherever he goes, he totes around two acoustic axes: A six- and a 12-string.

“I am one of those people who didn’t go to the instrument. The instrument came and got me,” he says.

“I was 11 and a trombone player, and I’d been sick for a long time.

I had been in bed for two months and my mom brought home a toy guitar. I devised what turned out to be an E chord and hit it and sat right up. It was one of those things you hear about, and it happened to me. I was out of bed in a week, and I have a feeling that’s pretty strong that if I ever lose the guitar, I’ll be back in bed and gone in two weeks. It kinda saved my skin.”

Later on, as a teenager, Kottke suffered permanent hearing loss in his left ear due to an accident. That problem was exacerbated by exposure to loud noise during his time in the military, when his other ear was damaged. By the ‘80s, he’d developed nerve damage and painful tendonitis from his aggressive picking style and was forced to basically relearn how to play, changing his picking style and altering his technique.

“There really isn’t any treatment for it, and most people solve their problems by changing their technique, which is what I did. But it takes a long, long time and it’s really, really tough,” he says.

Despite these hardships, Kottke has continued to play and tour, along with recording solo and with musical colleagues like John Fahey, Chet Atkins, Lyle Lovett, Johnny Cash, The Byrds, Jorma Kaukonen and Kris Kristofferson. He’s also made regular  continued on page 68 October 2012 Enjoy 67

“Every night that I perform, I stand there in the wings and there’s always a couple minutes where I am overwhelmed…” ~Leo Kottke

appearances on NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion.”

Known for his individualistic fingerpicking, which draws from folk, blues, jazz and occasional rock elements, he often uses “dropped tunings,” in which his six- and 12-string guitars are tuned as much as two steps below standard pitch.

Although primarily an instrumental artist, he occasionally sings in an equally unusual voice that he comically describes as “goose farts on a muggy day,” along with interspersing his live concerts with amusing and sometimes bizarre monologues.

Everything he does is infused with his dry humor.

“I will literally open my mouth not knowing what is coming out,” he says.

On stage, he randomly bursts into four-minute bits about how difficult it is to kill chickens, or about the dangers of stealing amplifiers. His shows are two parts music and one part back country talk.

His independent debut album, 1969’s “12-String Blues,” put him on the map, and his follow-up, “6- and 12-String Guitar,” is still considered one of the greatest and most influential records ever made in a style that would become known as American Primitivism, in which players use the country-blues fingerpicking technique to compose experimental and neoclassical works.

“When you first start to write, you’re excited about this new place you’re at ... then you get past that, and you’re not as easy to please.

68 Enjoy October 2012

It means you need more to satisfy yourself as you continue to write.

So, you just impose more curiosity and bring more tools into your process, more harmony and rhythm.”

Most recently, he recorded with Phish bassist Mike Gordon; the duo has released two compact discs, “Clone” and “Sixty-Six Steps.”

He’s been awarded two Grammy nominations, a doctorate in music performance from the University of Wisconsin, and a rare Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the University of Texas.

Guitar-playing aside, Kottke just seems to be your average middleclass guy living the American dream.

“Every night that I perform,” he says, “I stand there in the wings and there’s always a couple minutes where I am overwhelmed, frankly, that there is an audience out there that wants to hear my music, and I did nothing to deserve that. Plus, I get to be part of the sound stream traveling around our world. It’s really a privilege.” •

Dining

D unsmuir B rewery born on the mountain Mighty Mt. Shasta has done a lot of things for a lot of people. For thirsty travelers on Interstate 5 and locals in Dunsmuir, it can boast of one more: it made Dunsmuir Brewery Works possible.

It was at the Mt. Shasta Ski Park in 2001 where Aaron Greener, a craft brewer looking for a place to call home and set up shop, befriended David Clarno, a veteran ski instructor looking to get off the mountain and do something to jumpstart Dunsmuir’s business district.

“It was kind of serendipity,” says Greener. “It had always been my idea to open a brewpub and I fell in love with the water here, and I thought Dave and (wife) Andrea were friends I’d like to be in business with.”

For his part, Clarno says a nagging knee injury from high school football had him thinking about ending his days as a ski instructor in the winter and a U.S. Forest Service fire lookout in the summer.

The idea of opening a pub appealed to both Clarno and his wife.

Making the eatery stand out by combining it with an on-site brewery was an idea that appealed to all three. “We knew a pub and brewery would be a bigger draw,” Greener says.

The result is Dunsmuir Brewery Works, a hip and friendly establishment that quickly became the place to hang out after opening in December 2009 on Dunsmuir Avenue, across from the Dunsmuir Library. “It took three years to get this place open,” Clarno says. “Folks had high expectations. The locals sustained us during the first winter. They referred to us as ‘their’ brewery.” continued on page 72 October 2012 Enjoy 71

referred to us as ‘their’ brewery.”

News of a brewpub in Dunsmuir spread quickly, and vacationers, tourists, fishermen and others began stopping by.

The brewpub has done more than provide a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal and a pint of handcrafted beer. “When we opened, this town was dead and dying,” says Clarno, who also serves as president of the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce.

“Since then, there have been more businesses moving in, and we take pride in that,” Clarno says. “We brought some excitement and some energy. When we started, downtown was deserted.”

Greener’s work as brewmaster is contributing to that energy. His ales, porters and stouts continue to draw raves from regulars and customers from afar. One couple on an extended tour of West Coast brewpubs called Greener late last year to tell that of the 100-plus pubs they visited, his Blood, Sweat & Tears IPA was the best they had tasted.

The only complaint likely to be heard is that the relatively small tank system and refrigeration unit make it hard to keep all seven taps going at once, but the proprietors are working on expansion projects to remedy the supply-anddemand issues.

A graduate of the American Brewers Guild, Greener says his brew-quest took him to both coasts while he added stints at Nevada City’s Stonehouse Old Brewery and the Sacramento Brewing Co. to his resume. After helping outfit Vaune Dillman’s Mt. Shasta Brewing Co. in Weed, Greener drifted down to Dunsmuir. After tasting that small city’s legendary water, he knew his traveling days were over.

When it comes to brewing, Greener considers himself a bit of a purist. “I shy away from ‘niche’ beers and try to make really good, solid stock beers with layers and depth to their flavor,” he says. “The porter is a very classic London style,

Good Food 72 Enjoy October 2012

and the IPA is more western. I’m not trying to out-hop my neighbors.”

Dunsmuir Brewery Works’ approach to meals is to keep things fresh, local, healthy and simple, but with a little flair as well. “We don’t advertise as organic, but we buy organic whenever possible. We’ve found it will keep better and taste better,” Clarno says.

Norman Harrison runs the kitchen and comes up with the daily specials in addition to menu staples like smoked salmon BLTs, house-made nut burgers, brewery tacos, salads and sandwiches.

“Because of our size, we get to change specials a lot—and that forces us to use fresh ingredients,” Harrison says. The specials also serve as a good way to test out dishes that will highlight a new menu to be unveiled this month. The revamped menu was made possible with the addition of a new range that doubled the kitchen’s capabilities, he adds.

With fall bringing a nip in the air, diners will be less inclined to take advantage of the patio seating, but people seem happy to adapt. “We get so many tourists in the summer that the locals look forward to the fall and winter when it’s easier to get a table,” Clarno says with a smile that suggests there are worse problems a restaurateur could face. • www.dunsmuirbreweryworks.com 5701 Dunsmuir Ave. (530) 235-1900 Open daily for lunch and dinner

Art

G ary J ensen ’ s P ressed F lower Compositions Gary Jensen remembers the exact moment his love for flowers blossomed. He was a young boy on a road trip to visit his grandparents near Salton Sea. “We came over a rise and the desert below was full of flowers,” says Jensen. “We pulled to the side of the road and I got out and started picking them.” He hadn’t heard of a flower press, but he knew he wanted to save his collection, so he improvised. With his little boy hands, he carefully placed each delicate flower between the pages of a book he was reading.

Decades later, Jensen continues to press flowers and enjoys teaching others what he has learned through horticulture therapy and at garden club meetings. In fact, the inspiration for the art form through which he expresses himself today came when he was sharing

his knowledge with children. “I had my nieces and nephew over to spend the night so we could make flower pictures for Mother’s Day,” says Jensen. “I had pressed hundreds of flowers and had so many left over that I decided I needed to do something with them myself.”

Jensen took several framed flower arrangements to work, where coworkers snapped them up. The pieces were so popular, someone suggested he sell his art at craft shows. Jensen took their advice and Pressed for Time, his cottage business, sprouted.

Around this time, a back problem that had been lingering since his 20s flared, making it impossible for Jensen to return to work.

Although quitting was difficult, it allowed him the opportunity to focus on what he loves. continued on page 76

“We came over a rise and the desert below was full of flowers,” saysJensen.

“We pulled to the side of the road and I got out and started picking them.”

October 2012 Enjoy 75

After enduring several spinal fusions to stabilize his back, Jensen still experiences pain, though he has found that working creatively gives him something beautiful to concentrate on: his artwork.

Jensen’s art falls into two categories: flower arrangements and “florascapes.” Using a vibrant palette of flowers like viola, pansy, hydrangea, common verbena and larkspur, he creates one-of-a-kind pressed bouquets.

“Basket of Flowers,” one of Jensen’s more popular pieces, incorporates the leaf of the fruitless mulberry. “I have a process where I put the leaves in a bucket with beetles and they eat the soft part of the leaf,” says Jensen. What’s left is the stalk, mid-rib and lateral veins. Jensen uses the leaf skeleton as a lacy basket that he fills with a colorful array of delicately pressed flowers.

To create florascapes—pieces that resemble natural landscapes such as autumn fields, meandering rivers or underwater worlds—Jensen uses textural elements like tree bark, moss and leaves. With handmade paper as his canvas, Jensen works meticulously, converting his panoply of foliage into realistic scenes: velvety lamb’s ears become snowy drifts, fern-like yarrow is transformed into pine trees, and palm fronds give the impression of towering sea bluffs.

For snow-capped mountains, Jensen has found the ideal foliage. “I use the variegated ivy leaf for my Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen pieces,” he says. “It looks like a watercolor painting.” Once the leaf is pressed dry, the gloss sheen dulls, allowing the contrasting shades of green to pop against the white leaf edge.

To ensure he has a variety of plant materials to work with, Jensen has learned what species are available throughout the seasons. When the time is right, he harvests plants from the wild as well as from his diversely planted garden.

And sometimes, materials come to his attention when he least expects it, like the day he sat in his garden inspecting a weed he had just pulled. “My wife was looking out the window and said I had been looking at the thing for five minutes,” says Jensen. “All of the sudden it was, ding!” The fibrous golden root he held in his hand was lightning.

Whether his next creation is a florascape inspired by lightning strikes above the North State’s foothills or a flower arrangement custom designed using flowers from a wedding bouquet, Jensen uses nature’s gifts to preserve memories in flowers. • Autumn Schedule: Manton Apple Festival - Oct. 6 Dairyville Orchard Festival - Oct. 20 Red Bluff Garden Club Luncheon at Rolling Hills Casino - Oct. 27 Dunsmuir Community Center - Nov. 10 Simpson College Fair and Trade Show - Nov. 17

Beauty

fall beauty makeup tips for alluring autumn looks

As John Keats wrote in “Ode to Autumn,”

To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel.

He describes the season’s abundance and intimacy with the sun, comparing it to a female goddess. And that’s exactly how this season’s makeup looks: luscious and ripe, bursting with gorgeous earth tones and succulent berries.

Makeup artists played with dark and light this season, working soft and neutral tones into the skin one moment, then pulling out pots of deep rouge and atmospheric ink the next. Take that as your cue to make a statement with a rich excess — or sleek absence — of color on lids, lashes and lips. Either way, it’s forward thinking for fall.

Mulberry Mouths Red is always right for fall but the most captivating looks feature a deep mulled-wine stain with rich chocolate undertones. Finishes range from creamy matte to high patent-leather gloss, all offset by perfect skin for contrast. The beauty is in the prep work: buff away any flakes with an exfoliating lip treatment before layering clear balm underneath your red to adjust the intensity to your liking. If the dense hues make you nervous, apply with your finger, or opt for a lip stain.

Geometric Eyeliner Boxy corners, linear lines and strategically placed dots give eyes graphic new shapes. Don’t be shy—this season, the thicker, the better.

Bold color on eyes (especially cobalt) is also a standout this fall. Dare to wear cobalt, jade and violet—directly on lids. Think ‘80s funk. To keep the look fresh, go for minimal makeup on the rest of the face.

As for that winged eyeliner we’re seeing everywhere, it’s classic and sexy, like the pointy-toed pump. And with products like Mac’s Penultimate eyeliner (which looks like a giant marker), it’s surprisingly easy to master this look. continued on page 80 October 2012 Enjoy 79

Earth tones Not into brights? No worries. There are still plenty of earth tones this fall—sophisticated simplicity, combining khaki hues with soft gold accents and bold red statement shades. It’s wearable for anyone.

Arching Orders Brows are large and in charge this season! Forget the over-tweezed brows of seasons past. Say hello to healthy, heavily filled-in arches.

According to several makeup artists, it’s all about a bold shape with a slightly square and straight edge for a boyish feel. For a softer look, use a pencil to fill in gaps using short strokes, then brush hairs up with a clear gel.

‘70s Glam Only the brave wear hot pants, but red lips we can all handle. The oh-so-flashy influences of the ‘70s (tomato lips, smoky eyes, swingy locks) shared the runways with the ‘80s. Up the glam factor by lacquering nails with a blend of a dark ruby polish, then tip the ends with gold.

on the fringe And since fashion should be head to toe, don’t forget your hair! This season calls for blunt bangs—heavy and thick with fringe, graphic bobs and shoulder-grazing styles. Going blunt may require training, but the result is worth it: It has a luxe, pin-up girl quality that’s youthful and dramatic. For long hair, switch it up with a side braid or decorative barrettes, headbands and clips.

Take this season and embrace what’s new. Try a few trends, and add to what you already have. After all, if you’re having fun, your true beauty will shine from within. •

Collagen acts as a support structure for your skin. As time goes on, collagen isn’t replaced as readily as it once was. Sculptra®Aesthetic begins to work within the deep dermis, where your skin’s structure is reinforced as it helps to replace lost collagen. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of facial wrinkles and folds that have depleted over time.

What’s Cookin’

By: Lana Granfors

Fabulous Fall Salads When evenings turn chilly, appetites usually lean toward comforting casseroles, soups and chili, but a hearty salad is often a healthier alternative.

So, if you love salads, there is no reason to not enjoy them now, as fall’s bounty – sweet potatoes, squash, spinach, beans, beets, figs, grapes, apples, pears – makes for great salad fixings. Here are a couple of fabulous salads, full of great autumn flavors, to add to your dinner table.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple Salad ingredients:

1 medium sweet potato

1 tsp. olive oil Pinch of salt and pepper

2 cups baby spinach or lettuce, iceberg or romaine (they hold up better in this salad)

1 medium apple

2 T walnuts, coarsely chopped ¼ cup crumbled cheese, either feta or gorgonzola dressing ingredients:

2 T olive oil

2 T balsamic vinegar

2 tsp maple syrup

1 tsp stone ground mustard PREPARATION Preheat oven to 400 degrees. ▶ Peel sweet potato and slice into ½-inch wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes start to brown. Remove from oven. ▶ While sweet potatoes are in the oven, prepare lettuce, slice apples into ½-inch wedges, and toast walnuts. To toast, add nuts to a hot skillet, shaking or stirring occasionally until fragrant. Once sweet potatoes are done, assemble salad. ▶ In a bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, maple syrup and mustard, tasting and adjusting as needed. Serve immediately.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple Salad Prep time: 10 mins. ; Cook time: 25 mins.

Total time: 35 mins.; Serves: 2 Roasted Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad Prep time: 20 mins. ; Cook time: 30 mins.

Total time: 50 mins.; Serves: 2

Roasted Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad Ingredients:

1 medium butternut squash ½ cup quinoa

1 cup water

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed

2 T fresh basil ¼ cup feta cheese

1 T olive oil Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper PREPARATION Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. ▶ Peel and dice butternut squash into ½-inch cubes. Toss with ½ T of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 25-35 minutes until squash is tender and just beginning to brown. ▶ While the squash is in the oven, rinse quinoa and place in a pot with the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and let cook for 15 minutes. ▶ Once squash is roasted and quinoa is done, julienne the basil and combine with the feta cheese. Toss everything together and stir in the remaining ½ T of olive oil and juice of the lemon. Top with a pinch more of basil.

BILLY & PATRICK’S ENJOYABLES!

BILLY: I was “the ghost of Marty Robbins” one year, and now I’m not sure why. It just seemed to work, and was a big hit. What was I thinking?

PATRICK: I’ve been to a lot of Halloween parties for work, but I still love the first Halloween costume I can remember. Early in elementary school, I was so excited to wear my Star Wars Stormtrooper costume to school. I think I continued to wear it for several months afterward!

Billy and Patrick Mornings and Today’s Country all Day

spooktacular YOUR MOST

FAVORITE COSTUME

EVER! One that stands out most for me is when my mom and aunt dressed my sister and I and my two cousins and me as characters from the Wizard of Oz. I was 3 years old and loved Dorothy, so I got to be her. My little sister was the Cowardly Lion, one cousin was the Wicked Witch, one was the Tin Man. My mom was the Scarecrow and my aunt was Glinda. We went to a carnival all dressed up. ~Lynn

I think one of the best costumes I’ve seen was of a table at an Italian restaurant. The person’s head was poking through a large piece of cardboard made to look like a table and was covered in in a red and white checkered tablecloth and they had a mop wig on their head that was colored red with brown pom poms glued to it which looked like a plate of spaghetti.

There were wine glasses and a bottle of wine glued to the “table” as well as a loaf of French bread. It was awesome. ~Julia A fast and easy costume I made for my daughter several years ago was a Christmas gift. I took a large box, cut holes out for arms, wrapped it up in Christmas paper and put a large bow on her head. She wore red tights and had curly ribbon on her tennis shoes. It was a hit! ~Barbara I love unique, homemade costumes and one of my favorites was a paper doll. We used poster board and drew a dress on it, cut it out with tabs and used Velcro to stick it to my clothes. I had a hat and purse to match. ~Courtney A bunch of friends and I dressed up as a bowling ball and bowling pins. We won the costume contest that year. ~Nan

Casper the red-headed ghost?

You betcha!

what do the statue of liberty, miss america and alfalfa have in common?

They’re three of our amazing editorial manager’s lovely brood, along with the pizza on the left.

a pint-sized rapunzel!

And that’s a handmade costume, by the way... better than you’ll find in any store.

pizza? did someone order a pepperoni pizza?

That’s one tasty Halloween costume!

Who’s the king of the castle?

King Gianno and his minions, Corrado and Nikko.

The perfect footwear for a fashionable princess?

Flip flops. of course!

WHAT’S IN STORE Marissa Schechla, Kynlee’s Boutique It started as a necessity – Marissa Schechla of Burney had a darling baby girl and wanted to adorn her with adorable accessories. She quickly learned that her budget wasn’t as big as her obsession, so she decided to start creating them herself. Handmade hair clips, flowers, personalized bottle caps and tutus are just a few of the treasures that she creates through her business, Kynlee’s Boutique, which she founded in 2010. You’ll find her products at Enjoy the Store.

I wanted a bunch of hair accessories for my daughter, but they’re so expensive. I went to Michael’s and thought, “I’m going to find out how to make these.”

When I started making them, I posted a few pictures on Facebook, and my friends and family said, “You need to sell these.” I started selling them to friends and family, and then I got my seller’s permit. I do a few craft shows and holiday bazaars around town, and I have a lot of return customers.

What makes your products special?

They’re unique and all handmade. They’re really trendy – I do lots of zebra and bright pink. They’re also customizable any way you want. I never make any that are exactly the same.

What are the most unusual items you’ve created?

I’ve done San Francisco Giants flowers, and have done custom things for people’s Halloween costumes or when they’re going to a concert. They’re not just for children – I’ve had adult women buying them when they’re going to a game, and parents will wear (Burney High School) Raiders flowers to the football games on Friday nights.

I’ve done some wedding flowers that have feathers and other embellishments.

Tell us about your business’ namesake.

Kynlee will be 3 in December, and she’s the one who got all of this started. One of the great things about running my own business is that I’m only as busy as I want to be.

Some day I might start a website or go on Etsy, but for now, I feel like I really don’t need to. •

Giving Back

a fashion show fundraiser to benefit make -a-wish and wings of angels It’s been said it takes a village to raise a child. For a child with a life-threatening illness, it takes that village plus another…and perhaps even one after that.

Families raising sick children will tell you they’d never make it alone. Riding an emotional coaster of highs and lows, demands on time for treatments and draining finances are enough to crumble even the strongest warriors.

So on Oct. 5, a number of villages will converge efforts to show these families: You are not alone.

Win-River Casino, Windermere Real Estate, Windermere Foundation, Sharrah, Dunlap, Sawyer, Inc. and Mary’s Pizza Shack will sponsor a fashion show to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Wings of Angels, two organizations known for direct and tangible support of sick children and their families.

Local celebrities such as Redding City Councilwoman Missy McArthur, radio host Linda Bott and Record Searchlight publisher Shanna Cannon will work the runway, modeling a line of Emery Street Designs, originals from San Francisco designer Susan Abplanalp, who is known for her playfully sexy sportswear and clean, classic lines.

Especially poignant will be model Chelsa Aboud’s appearance on the catwalk.

A senior at Sacramento State University studying accounting, Aboud is a Makea-Wish recipient and cystic fibrosis survivor. She’ll tell her story about how, at 18, the Make-A-Wish Foundation sent her to the Grammy Awards. “I’m a huge country fan, so it was really cool meeting Keith Urban on the red carpet,” she says, adding that yes, Nicole Kidman was with him—she got her autograph, too.

“I was so happy to have a chance to have a wish. Make-A-Wish is an amazing program that definitely gives kids the chance to forget about their disease for a day. It means so much.”

Event chairperson Barbara Harrison positively glows as she previews the goodies planned for the benefit. “Pat Karch will play the piano. Tom Bosenko and Carl Bott will do the live auction,” she lists. “Oh, and Patrick John from Results Radio will be the emcee. They’ve been huge supporters of Make-a-Wish.” continued on page 102 October 2012 Enjoy 101

She could go on and on.

But it’s clear her enthusiasm isn’t about the details. It’s about the children. About making wishes come true and helping families through what will probably be the hardest and most trying time in their lives.

She’s been a wish granter for 28 years. Getting involved with Make-A-Wish helped her grieve her goddaughter, whom she lost to progeria syndrome, a genetic condition characterized by the dramatic and rapid appearance of aging.

“You just can’t imagine the joy of seeing the smiles” about breaking the news to children who will soon realize their most special wish, she says.

The foundation team makes a big deal when they show up to grant wishes, often bringing pizza, cake and balloons. Wishes range from specific trips, such as Aboud’s wish to visit the Grammys, to living in a superstar’s shoes for a day to special gifts, such as tree houses, shopping sprees or computers. Wish parameters are about as wide as imaginations, says Harrison, who granted 50 wishes in the fivecounty North State area last year alone.

The Alyssa Araiza Wings of Angels Organization was started by Dan and Donna Araiza after their daughter, Alyssa, died in 2001.

Their support buffers real-life needs that families have during treatments for life-threatening illness. Prepaid grocery and gas cards, postage stamps and payments for past due utility and phone bills relieve at least small bits of pressure in the midst of graver concerns.

They’ve even been known to help with emergency vehicle repairs.

As these villages converge, benefit organizers hope the community will also show up—for fun, food, frivolity and a higher purpose. • Fashion Show Fundraiser October 5, 6 - 9 pm Hosted by Win-River Casino (530) 545-4701 www.alyssaswingsofangels.org www.wish.org Carrie Schmeck is a lifestyle and family features writer who has called Redding home since 2001.
