COMMUNITY SPIRIT K-9 OFFICER MANY’S NEW VEST PROTECTS HIM FROM HARM, SO HE CAN KEEP RED BLUFF SAFE

{

Thanks to generous neighbors, Officer Many is ready for the streets.

Cornerstone Community Bank celebrates the North State’s giving spirit. Locally funded and owned, we are proud to champion our neighbors’ philanthropic efforts. Together, we helped the Red Bluff Police Department raise $2,500 to buy a protective vest for one of its newest recruits, K-9 Officer Many. This accessory is essential to safeguard the 3-year-old German Shepherd, who is often the first on a scene.

Because our community invests in us, we can invest in our community. For more of Many’s story, go to bankcornerstone.com

Merge your sense of adventure with your love of nature with a trip to the Snow Goose Festival, a four-day event that celebrates the migration of millions of birds through the Pacific Flyway. The masses of snow geese, in particular, are awe-inspiring.

We’ll introduce you to some delightful North State residents who are pros at living life to the fullest. At age 93, Princess LaZotte is an artist, investor, philanthropist and bridge player who shares the secret to staying young. Then there are the Redding Police Department chaplains, who make the toughest times more bearable with their selflessness and comfort.

And if one of your resolutions is to find the North State’s most magnificent burger, we’ve got some places to start your research. The Post Office Saloon & Grill in downtown Redding never fails to deliver a tasty burger and libations in a fun, comfortable environment, and the Ono Store and International Cafe has garnered widespread acclaim for its famous Ono Burger. Give yourself some time to check out fun relics from the place’s rich history (the outlaw Black Bart even stopped there once).

Embrace the new dreams, discoveries and adventures presented with the turn of the calendar. Happy New Year, and enjoy!

We Can Help! See Us For Bladder Control Treatment Without Drugs Or Surgery:

Asuriti Center for Continence and Pelvic Wellness offers a complete range of treatments for urinary incontinence. Urgent PC is an external device that delivers PTNS (percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation) and is a minimally invasive way to improve bladder control in women. PTNS is a 30 minute weekly session lasting 12 weeks. If PTNS is found to be helpful, an Interstim implantable device can be used to provide long-term treatment for symptoms of urgency-frequency as well as fecal incontinence.

Neuromodulation (PTNS and InterStim) are excellent options for patients who have not had success with, or could not tolerate, more conservative treatments for overactive bladder or urinary retention.

T H E N O R T H S TAT E ' S S N O W G O O S E F E S T I VA L It may be that the North State’s lack of traffic is one of its greatest things to enjoy. As the absence of something, it’s not always noticeable until you’re piled up someplace south with people who have learned to endure congestion on a daily basis.

A look into the sky, however, at this time of year, will tell a different story about another kind of traffic. As part of the great Pacific Flyway — a highway in the sky for migrating birds — the North State is the winter home to numerous birds looking for a temporary landing spot that is warm and bountiful with food. The mild climate and rice fields lure a phenomenal number of species, creating a world-renowned environment for bird watching.

“We have an incredible event here that happens every year,” says Jennifer Patten, founder of the Snow Goose Festival, a four-day event of excursions, education and celebration of this great migration.

“Millions of ducks and geese come here to winter. So come and see them!”

Patten will be the first to tell you that she gets excited about birds and the opportunity to see so many of them. “My passion is just getting people out and showing them what’s in their own backyard,” she says.

14 Enjoy January 2013

It’s a passion that is handed down from her fourth-grade teacher in Marin County, who lit the spark by taking Patten’s class to visit the Tiburon Flats. “It brought me into a whole different world,” she says.

“Ever since then I’ve been looking.”

For the last 15 years, she’s been working to get others to look, as well. From January 24-27, more than 70 field trips and workshops are planned to get people out amongst the birds. Based in Butte County but spanning the best viewing areas of several surrounding counties, the Snow Goose Festival offers experiences for all ages and skill levels, from the first timer to the seasoned veteran out for a Big Year.

Particularly special will be outings to experience Great Flyovers, a phenomenon when, at dusk, thousands of birds fly over head from one field to the other.

Remembering the thrill of her fourth-grade excursions, Patten says, “We work hard at the Snow Goose Festival to entice young people to come and explore the birding world with a lot of free activities and hands-on events.”

The broad range of activities include guided bird walks, an exhibit hall with trade show. a complimentary art show and lectures on topics

GOOSEbumps

such as birding by ear and wild bird photography. A regular morning walk can be dialed up a notch by learning to tune into the bird life that abounds through a guided experience.

The masses of snow geese that stop by during this time of year are truly awe-inspiring. As they blanket the fields in hundreds or even thousands, they can create an image of snow. While many may be quick to point out a Canada goose in the sky or on the ground, the snow goose has its own sound and is recognized by its white feathers and black-tipped wings.

And while it is the signature bird of the festival, it is by no means the only star. One of the great joys of bird watching in the North State at this time of year is the sheer diversity of species. The numerous migratory birds can be matched by a stunning number of species that live here year round.

This year’s keynote speakers at the festival will be Roger Lederer and Carol Burr, a husband-and-wife team of retired Chico State professors who wrote “The Birds of Bidwell Park.” Roger is an ornithologist who has four other books on birds. Carol taught English and is an illustrator. Together, they created “The Birds of Bidwell Park” to

introduce devotees of the park to their feathered companions.

For those already familiar with the joys of bird watching, the Snow Goose Festival is a phenomenal opportunity to meet up with fellow enthusiasts and talk shop. For those new to birding or merely curious about the natural world at this time of year, it's a great place to get the knowledge you need to embark on a rewarding hobby.

Once you start paying attention to the amazing world of birds, you'll find it’s much more rewarding to know your Canada from your snow goose when someone says, “Look, up in the sky!” • Snow Goose Festival January 24-27 www.snowgoosefestival.org

Nike may have trademarked the phrase “Just Do It,” but Princess LaZotte “did it” long before the shoe company coined the tagline.

She’s still doing it, for that matter.

Artist, investor, bridge player and friend, LaZotte pursues what strikes her fancy. At 93, this slight woman still moves with a bounce of one much younger. “You want to know the secret to staying young?” she asks as she opens french doors leading to her backyard. “Here it is.”

She points to a pint-sized custom pool, a little bigger than a standard spa, with shallow steps sloping downward. The water is warm to the touch. “It’s 80 degrees, always,” she says. “I wake up. I walk out here. I get in and do my exercises. Every day. It’s how I stay young.”

A prolific artist, LaZotte recently donated one of her paintings,

18 Enjoy January 2013

a colorful, non-objective oil piece, to the Riverfront Playhouse, Redding’s oldest community theater. Though she’d donated to the group before, receiving the painting was a surprise, says Mary Forbes, board member and chairperson for the Playhouse’s capital campaign.

The Playhouse, long housed in east Redding, purchased what used to be an automotive repair shop on the southeast corner of Pine and Placer streets, with plans to retrofit it with a community theater designed by Trilogy Architecture.

The donated painting, titled “Explorer,” was intended for the new building. Since the new building is still some ways off, the committee found a place to show it in Cascade Theatre’s box office, says Forbes, who also mentions the painting is for sale.

wel Through the stroke of her brush, LaZotte has been generous to the community but she waves her hand at the fuss. “I just wanted to give it,” says the self-taught artist who began painting “a million years ago” when a friend dragged her to her one and only art class.

“My friend liked the instructor and I think she brought me with her for protection.”

Though LaZotte never returned to class, she figured she ought to do something with the brushes and canvases she’s purchased. Her home testifies to insatiable inspiration, with hundreds of paintings hung throughout, spanning probably six decades and at least as many art genres.

She comes by her creativity naturally, saying it was probably

inherited from her artistic mother. “All five of us kids were gifted in art,” she says as she gestures toward intricately carved horse statues dotting her fireplace mantel. “My brother made these,” she says.

“Aren’t they amazing?”

When she isn’t painting, LaZotte might be at a sunny table strewn with copies of the Wall Street Journal, the Record Searchlight and a collection of other national sources in her living room. “I follow 100 different stocks,” she explains, saying she has never employed an investment agent since she began investing with girlfriends as a hobby in the early 1980s. “I didn’t know anything about investing,” she says, “but I figured if I was going to buy stock, I shouldn’t buy anything that isn’t paying dividends.” It seems the strategy has worked. continued on page 20 January 2013 Enjoy 19

Five steps from her investment headquarters sits a grand piano, a centerpiece in the room. She dismisses the idea that she is any sort of musician, though a guitar leans against a leg. “I just tinker for fun,” she says, “when the urge strikes me.”

“But this,” she says, pointing to a brass chandelier above the piano, “this has a story.” She explains how the piece, which she found at an antique store, originally functioned as a hybrid fixture using both gas and electricity around the end of the 19th century. When she bought it, it had long been in disrepair. “I couldn’t get an electrician to touch it because of all the fancy curved piping they’d have to wire, so I figured out how to wire it myself.”

Some might call this 93-year-old woman resourceful, though she 20 Enjoy January 2013

sees nothing special about her enthusiastic approach to whatever happens her way. Her keys to long life are simple: “Exercise. Eat well.

Have a cocktail every night.”

But how have you kept your mind? Without skipping a beat, she answers, “Oh my dear, I haven’t.”

Her point could be argued. • Carrie Schmeck is a lifestyle and family features writer who has called Redding home since 2001. When she isn’t reading, writing or researching, she might be sipping coffee with friends, cycling with her husband or browsing life for her next story idea.

On its own, the Ono Burger is a perfect excuse to justify a drive out to the country to visit the Ono Store and International Café. The burger started garnering attention under Mary Cole, who owned the establishment for 20 years. The tradition continues under current owners Lennie Copeland and Tom Smith, who’ve had the place for six years.

The recipe came with the store, and includes a secret sauce, fresh lettuce and tomato and homemade buns baked on the premises.

“Numerous people have said this is the best burger they’ve ever had,” explains Copeland.

But the burger is only one part of the attraction to the store, which was built in 1947 and serves as a social and informational hub for the residents of the small community 14 miles west of Redding.

quirky A quick glace around reveals a lot of quirky fun. A wild boar’s head and some snake skins keep watch over an ancient fireplace laden with gems, minerals and fossils. The walls are adorned with old photos and relics from the area’s mining, logging and cowboy past, including a photograph of the outlaw Black Bart, who once stopped at the original outpost built in the same spot in 1847.

In addition to the burger and “really cold beer,” residents can pick up supplies like ice, propane, canned food and much more. The popular karaoke evening takes place the first Saturday of every month. Last year, the community rallied to save the event by hosting a fundraiser (along with Redding Yamaha) to cover fees imposed by copyrighted agencies.  continued on page 24

“You don’t find places like this anymore.”

“It’s kind of a throwback,” Copeland explains of the store and cafe. “You don’t find places like this anymore. It’s soinformal. It’s the old-fashioned place where it’s, ‘How’s the wife? How are the kids?’”

The addition of “International” to the establishment’s name comes in part from the popular Monday night dinners — buffet-style meals that represent the cuisine of places like China, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, the Middle East, Mexico, Italy and France. The all-you-can-eat dinners are just $8.50.

But the business has attracted visitors from most of those countries, as well. Copeland herself has lived in Egypt, Lebanon and England. She’s produced films and written books that have become best sellers, including “Going International: How to Make Friends and Deal Effectively in the Global Marketplace” (Random House, 1988). Her father, Miles Copeland, was a former head of the CIA’s desk for the region. Her brother, Stewart Copeland, is the famous drummer for the rock band, The Police.

“People have actually come out to meet me because of my brother, which is a little strange,” Copeland says. “But he is in fact a really nice guy, funny and really smart. I enjoy being his sister. I’m proud of him.”

Co-owner Smith, a former test pilot, farmer, trucker and oil driller, is a jack-of-all-trades for the store. You might find him changing flat tires for customers or working on engines, provided they’re not too new. He also flies an ultra-light airplane and actually contemplated a delivery business for the store’s homemade burger buns in which he would drop them off from the plane at rural locations. The business would be called “Buns Away” (there’s already a T-shirt).

In addition to a locals’ hangout, the store and café attract customers from Redding, Anderson, Cottonwood and elsewhere. Motorcyclists touring the area’s county roads often pull in for a stop, as do road cyclists out for long rides. Visitors to the nearby veterans’ cemetery are also regular customers.

“I like meeting all the people,” says Smith. “There are some very interesting characters – certainly a variety.”

Adds Copeland, “We care about our customers in the oldfashioned way. If anybody’s in trouble, we’ll take care of them. If they’ve had too much to drink, we’ll drive them home.

“It’s amazing how much work it is even to run a small place like this. As a restaurant, bar and store, it’s the only game in town. Half the community rarely goes to town. But I absolutely love it here. I love every minute of it. I love the customers.”• 11851 Platina Road, Ono (530) 396-2300

BEFORE

Finally! I can look in the mirror and I like what I see! I was in the dressing room at American Eagle shouting “Yes! Yes!” as I slid into a pair of size 4 jeans! I actually called Amy (my trainer) from the mall parking lot to shout the good news! I probably haven’t been this size since I was a high school freshman!

The Skinny Jeans Program was the answer to what I’ve been looking for my entire life! I just needed someone to show me the way! I now KNOW how to eat and train!

My first exposure to Adamson’s Peak Performance was a gift from my mother – a 21-day challenge. She knew how uncomfortable I was after gaining quite a bit of weight over the last year. I had to do something to get out of my caramel cone ice cream comma!

STARTS JAN 14!

I had never lifted weights before this program, but I can tell you that I became addicted!

After the 21 days, I joined the 3-month Skinny Jeans Challenge. The nutrition plan scared me at first but once you follow it you won’t want to go back to your bad eating habits again! As a result of these two classes I’ve lost 20 lbs and dropped two pant sizes! I am back to a size 2! Woo Hoo!

F R E S H S TA R T S T O 2 0 1 3 Start the New Year Right Ah, the fresh start of a new year - a time to right our wrongs, ditch those bad habits and become better human beings. Or, if you’re like most of us, you’ll scrutinize your shortcomings and make guiltridden promises to do better - until the first time you don’t feel like exercising or eating your veggies or calling your mother. “Well, there’s always next year...”

Not this time. We at Enjoy Magazine want you to feel wonderful about the person you are, and inspired to make your life even richer. We’re putting a spin on some tired old resolutions to put them within your reach for the long term. Here’s to a renewed, healthier, happier you in 2013!

But baby, it’s cold outside...

You’re jazzed up about renewing your efforts to get active this year, and luckily, we are just moments from lovely places to hike, bike, skate and swim. But the weather outside is frightful. What to do?

• Step inside. Our local gyms offer friendly support for folks who want to improve their fitness levels, and many have New Year’s specials.

• Have a dance party with your kids.

Twenty minutes counts as your cardio for the day, and you might win “coolest parent on the block” points with your slick moves.

• Go back to basics! Abdominal crunches, push-ups, lunges and calf raises are tried-and-true muscle toners that can be done anywhere, any time. Wall sits are another killer - stand with your back flat against the wall, slide down until your legs are at a 90-degree angle, and hold as long as you can. Recruit a partner for extra motivation.

• Embrace it. A jog in the rain can be exhilarating!

Make it easy to eat healthy One of the biggest myths out there is that it’s expensive and timeconsuming to eat nutritiously. With a little pre-planning, it can be just as cheap and easy to fill your plate with healthy foods.

• Make a plan. You don’t need to rival the Food Network (or Enjoy’s own Lana Granfors) when you’re figuring out what to feed your family for the week. You know your family’s favorites, so jot down one meal for each day of the week, then build your grocery list. If you know what’s for dinner on Tuesday and you’ve got the ingredients on hand, you won’t be as inclined to run through the drive-through or order a calorieheavy pizza.

• Stick to your grocery list. You won’t eat the double-fudge cookies that you didn’t impulsively toss into your shopping cart.

• Chop, chop. When you get home from the store, cut your carrots and celery into sticks, and divvy up your whole-grain crackers into snack bags - they’ll be easy to toss into your lunch bag in the morning.

• Buy frozen fruits and vegetables. They’re inexpensive, they’re precut, they last a long time and they’re nutritious.

• Grow your own. Lettuce is just about the easiest thing on the planet to grow - bury the seeds, wait a couple of weeks, and take out some scissors to harvest enough of your bounty for a fresh salad. You’ll never have slimy lettuce in your produce drawer again!

• Substitute. Whole-wheat instead of white bread, ground turkey instead of ground beef - you don’t have to change your entire menu, just swap in a healthier ingredient. continued on page 28 January 2013 Enjoy 27

Get fiscally fit If you’re looking to get a handle on your household finances, reduce your debt and add to your nest egg, try these tips.

• Pay yourself first. Automatically transferring money into your savings account on payday is a nearly painless way to save.

• Kill your debt. The Christmas decorations have been put away, but holiday spending receipts are just rolling in. Pay off your highest interest bills first, then add the amount of that payment to the next-highest interest bill, and so on, until your credit card bills are no more.

• It never hurts to ask. Your credit card companies may be willing to reduce your interest rate. Look at your cell phone and cable bills and see if you really use the services you’re paying for. A 10-minute phone call could save you hundreds of dollars this year.

• Don’t throw your money away. Know your bills’ due dates - a $35 late fee is as annoying as a picnic full of ants.

• Create a budget and stick to it. Money management software (or apps, like Mint) can make this very easy, but a pencil, paper and calculator will work just fine. Set your priorities, create a spending plan and update your budget every month. Where are you overspending?

28 Enjoy January 2013

• Be a smart spender. Spend your hard-earned money on things that help you advance your goals or provide true enjoyment. Yes, enjoyment! You needn’t book a lavish European vacation to reward yourself for being fabulous.

Some treasures from the used bookstore or a cute new outfit from the thrift shop can brighten the day quite nicely.

That “rainy day” is now We’ve all got a list of critical tasks that we promise to tackle eventually. Today is that day.

• Create an emergency preparedness kit. A three-day supply of water and non-perishable food, flashlight, batteries and cash are among the essential items that every home (and car) should have. Find a complete list at www.redcross.org.

• Restock your first aid kits. If your kit has dwindled down to a sparse collection of tiny bandages and a dried-up tube of burn cream, freshen it up.

• Get life insurance. Everyone needs it. If you have it, review your policy with your agent to make sure it still offers an appropriate level of protection—if you’ve gotten a raise, had some kids or bought a house, you might need more.

• Establish a will/living trust and an advance medical directive.

Nobody wants to think about end-of-life issues, but these items are a must. Consider it a gift to your family.

• Secure your home. Home security systems are fantastic (and can reduce your homeowner’s insurance), but there are plenty of ways to protect your house and assets. Install outdoor security lighting, and keep valuables in a safe. Join (or start) a Neighborhood Watch program. And just in case, make a video tour of your home, so in the unlikely event of a break-in, you’ll know exactly what’s missing.

Love yourself Life is meant to be relished. Obligations often threaten to overwhelm us, but there’s joy to be found in every day.

• Build stress relief into every day. Some days it might be a two-hour massage; other days it might be closing your eyes for two minutes of solitude before walking into a chaotic home after work. Either is fine.

• Schedule family time. Work, school, sports, homework and activities can quickly fill up a family’s calendar, and before you can say “Pomp and Circumstance,” the kids are grown. Choose a regular time where you unplug and do something fun together. Play a board game, read aloud from a chapter book, or snuggle up on the couch and tell stories. Let each family member take turns choosing the activity.

• Connect with friends. If your relationship with your friends consists solely of “liking” their photos on Facebook, fix it! Ensure that those person-to-person connections don’t fall by the wayside. Mark your calendar (with pen!) for a monthly girls’ or guys’ night out, enjoy after-work appetizers with colleagues every payday, or pack up the kids for a weekly meet-up at the park with the other mommies in your life. Avoid breaking those dates unless there’s a true emergency.

Get creative! continued on page 30 January 2013 Enjoy 29

• Embrace the mental health day. If you had the flu, you’d stay home, right? Your mental health is as important as your physical health. Sometimes an unexpected 24-hour break from the daily routine is all it takes to rejuvenate you. (We even know some folks who take family “mental health days” together once a year!)

• Disconnect and engage. Teenagers aren’t the only ones who spring into action every time their smart phone makes a noise. The voice mails, text messages and emails will still be there when your lunch date is finished. Put away the phone and focus completely on the person who has taken time from his or her busy day to enjoy your company. Everything else can wait.

Celebrate your success! Every positive change makes a difference. •

creating a buzz M itch H okanson ’ s W himsical C hainsaw A rt When Redding chainsaw artist Mitch Hokanson looks back on his earliest creations, he wonders what his first customers were thinking. “I’ll drive along and see one of my bears from when I was just starting out, and laugh,” Hokanson says of his one-of-a-kind wood carvings. That was eight years ago. Since then he has sharpened his skills, and now produces some of the most creative and detailed chainsaw art around.

Hokanson wasn’t always an artist, but he’s always had an affinity for trees. He grew up in Happy Camp, a logging town nestled deep in the heart of Klamath National Forest. Having the great outdoors as his backyard made a lasting impression on his young mind. His love of the wilderness eventually led to a career with the Forest Service. In a roundabout way, it also led to a discovery of his artistic talent.

The notion to carve wood originally came to Hokanson while he was attending a home and garden show. “I was just about to pull out my wallet for a little bear that I wanted to buy, but I thought, ‘You know what? Maybe I should try that,’” he says.

Two years later, during some down time at work, the opportunity presented itself and Hokanson decided to give carving a go. The result? A little bear, of course. “It looked pretty funny, but people thought it was cool,” he says. continued on page 34 January 2013 Enjoy 33

Inspired, he went home, did some research and bought a book on chainsaw carving. It had step-by-step photos on how to block out a chunk of wood to make it look like a bear. “The first one looked like a seal. I thought it was cool then, but now that I look back on it...” he says with a laugh. “I still have it at my house.”

Hokanson’s merry bears sell about as quickly as he can set them out at his roadside stand. Although the bears are in high demand, every now and again he carves a whimsical piece that grabs the attention of game hunters — garden-game hunters, that is. “People see bears all the time, but when I carve something like an octopus, hummingbird, parrot or some other exotic animal that most people don’t carve, it gets a lot of attention,” he says.

Along with the exotics, Hokanson carves moose, eagles and fish that often become entryway greeters. The friendly fauna hold welcome signs like good greeters should, but some are more clever than the average bear: Select pieces have “go away” etched into their derrières.

“That ‘go away’ sign will sell the project every time,” says Hokanson. continued on page 36

Using the largest of his three saws, Hokanson falls a carefully selected tree and cuts it into blocks. After mounting a segment of wood on a special stand, he carves the ears, forehead, snout and mouth with a smaller saw until his vision begins to take shape. Once the sculpture is complete, he defines and refines its features, which brings the creature to life. Although a good part of his work is crafted this way, some customers commission Hokanson to carve stumps right in their yards instead of paying for grinding or removal.

From concept to completion, Hokanson’s hands are the only hands that touch each piece. Well, almost. Hokanson’s four children are his right-hand helpers — they’re in charge of giving each animal his good-natured gaze. “When I’m done with a piece, I let them

36 Enjoy January 2013

come in and pound the marbles into the eyes,” he says. “It makes them feel like they’re part of the creative process.”

When the chainsaw roars and the wood chips fly, Hokanson gains a deeper understanding of himself as a sculptor. As he reflects on how the creative process continues to inspire and transform his work he says, “It’s good. It’s really healthy for growing as an artist.”• Find more of Hokanson’s Chainsaw Art on Facebook

Profile

politicalinterest los molinos ’ honorary mayor , kenny brewer If you ask Kenny Brewer of Los Molinos why his DJ business is called Gumbo’s, he’ll tell you of an unfortunate incident in high school where he ended up with gum strewn across his chest while on his way to a formal event for the Los Molinos chapter of the Future Farmers of America. In a classic high school way, he was quickly christened Gumbo by his friends in the car.

Named Kendric by his parents, referred to as Kenny by family and friends, and known as Gumbo by a select group of FFA members and DJ clientele, the Chico State student will also answer to Mr. Mayor.

At 20 years old, Brewer is in his second term as the honorary mayor of Los Molinos, a title he has earned through relentless fundraising for his town’s annual Fourth of July festivities.

His first year-long term was in 2010 when he ran on the novelty of being the town’s youngest mayor. Freshly graduated from Los Molinos High, he thought it would be great to help out before he started Shasta College.

“It’s so unique,” he says of the election process. “It’s nothing like a real election at all. Or you could say it’s the most honest election in America, because we come out and say that we buy our seats.”

The title of mayor is bestowed upon the candidate who raises the most money for the town’s patriotic festivities, including a parade with up to 120 entries and a traditional picnic in the park with games and prizes. “It keeps the smalltown tradition alive,” he says of the mayor’s race. A kickoff event in early May starts candidates out with collection jars all over town, and then picks up with lively fund-raising events. Through softball tournaments, car washes, T-shirt sales and $2 milkshake continued on page 40

January 2013 Enjoy 39

“ To tell people they won a new car every day and to have them go nuts because of it — how cool would that be?” sales at the Burger Shack, Brewer was able to raise $2,200 in 2010 and $2,000 in 2012.

People who bought the “Kenny Brewer for Mayor” T-shirts he sold in 2010 may want to hang on to them. If he doesn’t increase their value through his political aspirations — Brewer is studying public administration and criminal justice — he may do so through television celebrity.

Mayor Brewer has made three trips to Los Angeles to compete on game shows, and met the personal challenge he set for himself the first time he set out. “My goal was to win a car,” he says. “My other one was on its last legs.” He made two trips to The Price is Right and was called up on his second try, winning consolation prizes, including a kids’ scooter, which he donated to Los Molinos Elementary School for a fundraiser.

He took two shots at Let’s Make a Deal, and thanks to a hot day and a pancake costume that gave host Wayne Brady the chance to refer to him as The Sweaty Pancake, Brewer made a deal for a 2013 Honda Fit. The show aired on September 28 and the car arrived shortly after. The timing was perfect, as Brewer had begun commuting to Chico State and needed more reliable transportation.

His next goal is to make it onto Big Brother. “I’ve already got two CBS shows under my belt, why not go for three?” he says with a shrug that belies the calculations he’s making to earn a coveted spot on the show.

40 Enjoy January 2013

While Brewer is planning for a career as a criminal prosecutor and aspires to law school in Las Vegas — the rural, small-town boy confesses that he’s always wanted to live in Vegas — he does hold one other celebrity aspiration: game show announcer. “To tell people they won a new car every day and to have them go nuts because of it — how cool would that be?” he asks with genuine enthusiasm. “I wouldn’t want to be the host, I’d want to be the announcer.”

It’s hard to keep up with Mayor Brewer these days. Although his official duties for Los Molinos have lightened considerably, he’s got a tight schedule to keep to meet his numerous goals. He recently became a certified officiant so he can step up to the plate at a wedding he’s DJ’ing “just in case” the official celebrant fails to show up. He referees volleyball games for extra money and earned a customer service award for his work at Nu Way Market in Los Molinos. He also manages to keep his grades up.

At the rate he’s going now, no one should be surprised if he finds his way to Las Vegas and decides to run for mayor there. By then, he’ll have had plenty of experience making deals. • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

ALL S

S P O R T S M E N ’ S D E N I N M O U N T S H A S TA At 8 years old, John Kennedy found the job of his dreams. Paid five cents an hour, broom in hand, he swept the floors of Sportsmen’s Den. When his father gave him the responsibility of pressing shirts, Kennedy made the bold move of asking for a raise of 10 cents an hour. The sporting goods store appeared in the city of Mount Shasta in 1945. Kennedy’s family purchased it 30 years later. In 1997, he gained the ultimate raise when he took over the store.

“We are in the business of selling fun,” says Kennedy. “We have the equipment people need to recreate. Shoes that feel good as you run, a new basketball, a line of apparel which reflects the style of active people.” Once a general sporting goods store, Kennedy now specializes in seasonal sports and serving the needs of the community.

It’s the only shoe store in the city and he specializes in providing items not available in other businesses. “We have the opportunity to work with upbeat people. Our customers are positive and outgoing and a pleasure to serve.”

42 Enjoy January 2013

The corner of Mount Shasta Boulevard and Castle Street is a hub of activity with each season. As winter snow drapes the sidewalks, snowboards leave the shop. Spring is running shoes, while summer sees the styles of sportswear move through the store. Fall brings the black and white of soccer balls. Kennedy remarks, “Snow gives way to baseball, and as summer ends, snowboards appear in August.”

The store’s goal is to serve the community. Each employee is asked to serve as part of their job, while volunteering in or even heading up a community event. “It takes an effort to make a community what it is,” says Kennedy. His own schedule is filled with youth sports and heading the local Cub Scout pack. “If you want a voice, you need to be involved.”

This month is no exception. With winter sports in full gear, Kennedy is working with the Mount Shasta Ski and Board Park in their “Bring a Friend to the Hill” month. Their online equipment reservation system is prepared. He says, “We want to make it possible

SEASONS for new people to engage in snowboarding. We’ve partnered with the Ski Park to help promote boarding and get newcomers interested in the sport.”

In the store, rainbows of helmets peer down from high shelves, looking forward to coursing through snow-lined hills. Lines of snowboards stand at attention, waiting to be called to a weekend of boarding. Lightweight to heavy clothing items anticipate outdoor expeditions, while recreational shoes point toward the door, longing for their first journey. Reflective goggles and sunglasses stare from a glass case as nearby balls dream of the spring thaw.

Team sports are a huge emphasis. Reaching from southern Oregon to Chico and over to the coast, Kennedy offers competitive deals for schools and leagues, expanding his definition of community over the wide reach of Northern California. Besides equipment and uniforms, he provides trophies for contests, while servicing many of the needs of school teams in the area.

The store is ever evolving. “Each season brings about a change in inventory,” Kennedy says. Along with the rotating decor, Sportsmen’s Den pairs with the March 2 Snowboard Demonstration, where

top vendors give people a chance to try their product for free.

They provide support for the Fourth of July Fun Run and the Run for Food on Thanksgiving, as well as supporting local boosters, educational programs and youth sporting events, making Kennedy’s business a unique thread in the fabric of the city.

The Kennedy family is active in sports, scouting, education and fun. Kennedy’s wife, Felicity, and sons J.T. and Benjamin are never far from one another. “I always wanted to be here. I went away and earned my master’s in business, but my goal was to raise my family here,” he says. J.T. walks through the store often, pretending to shop.

The fourth-grader looks at his dad, a reflection of the once 8-year-old employee, and says, “My dad works at a cool place.” •

Music

soul strumming slack- key guitarist jeff peterson

One of Hawaii’s most versatile musicians, Jeff Peterson, is at the heart of the Hawaiian music scene today.

His focus on slack-key guitar, classical and jazz music has allowed him to develop a unique and transcendent voice on the guitar while being deeply rooted in the traditions of his Hawaiian heritage.

Slack-key guitar is a finger picking style of guitar playing developed in Hawaii.

It is traditionally believed that Spanish cowboys working in Hawaii introduced the guitar to the Islands in the 1800s. Hawaiian players then developed a unique playing style to accompany native dance and song.

“Slack-key” is a loose translation of the Hawaiian term ki ho alu, defined as “loosen the (tuning) key,” a style of guitar tuning in which steel strings are slackened. The strings are mainly plucked for a lilting, melodic sound.

“It imitates the same style as Hawaiian falsetto singing,” explains Peterson. “There’s what’s called ‘alternate bass,’ a really important part, where your thumb plays back and forth on different bass notes.

That’s like the heartbeat of the music. It’s almost like a band playing on one instrument.”

He credits the trio of musical styles he loves — slack key, jazz and classical — for opening doors for him, to a world of collaboration and experimentation.

“Hawaiian music often has a swing feel and is full of improvisation, like jazz. Classical guitar technique involves plucking the strings in a similar way to slack key,” he says. “The same sort of logic of developing phrases can transcend any genre, and the emotional impact and aesthetic of music can be very similar, regardless of style.

In a way, all music is connected.” continued on page 48

In the jazz arena, Peterson spent a critically acclaimed run with Bryan Stokes Mitchell as part of a jazz quartet, along with performing with Ben Wolfe and artists like Sergio Mendez, Natalie Cole, Monica Mancini, Benjamin Verdery and Aaron Neville.

Born on the Island of Maui, Peterson grew up on the slopes of Haleakala where he was introduced to the rich heritage of Hawaiian music by his father, a paniola, or Hawaiian cowboy, on the Haleakala Ranch.

“There was a wonderful cabin on the ranch called the Peanut House where I was first exposed to live music,” he recalls. “There was no electricity in the cabin, and my father and his friends would sit around the fire and play for fun. It really inspired me, so I would pick up a guitar and try to play. I was 5 or 6, and the guitar was about as tall as I was. I learned to play by listening to recordings, playing the same small segments of a song over and over again until I finally got through the whole thing. I would spend hours doing this. It drove my brother crazy.”

The music he heard from his father and other paniolas as well as the slack key on classic recordings by the Gabby Pahinui Band, Leonard Kwan and Sonny Chillingworth made a deep and lasting impression from which he continues to draw inspiration today.

As Peterson began studying the guitar on his own, his interests broadened and he delved into a wide variety of musical genres. He studied jazz and classical guitar at the University of Southern California and has worked as a guitar professor at the University of Hawaii.

48 Enjoy January 2013

Peterson is a two-time Grammy-winner who was also nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award in Hawaiian Music for two albums.

He also contributed several songs to the soundtrack of the Oscarnominated/Golden Globe-winning movie “The Descendants,” which was the first mainstream American movie scored exclusively with Hawaiian music. Keola Beamer and Peterson were the only Hawaiian musicians that director Alexander Payne asked to record specifically for the soundtrack.

Says Peterson: “With any art form, as long you have a connection and appreciation to your roots and where the music came from, you can reach forward in a way that is still meaningful and connects to the tradition.” • Peterson at Pilgrim Congregational Church 8 pm Jan. 12 (doors open at 7:15 pm) Part of the Oaksong Music Society 2012-2013 Indoor Concert Series Tickets $20; available at The Music Connection, 3086 Bechelli Lane, Redding • (530) 223-2040 • www.oaksongs.org Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University.

Business

B acio C atering D ishes U p R eal F ood for Fast F oodies For nearly 30 years, Amanda Leveroni, owner of Bacio — meaning “kiss” in Italian — has shared her passion for fabulous food with lovestruck couples looking to tie the knot with style and grace, and with foodies who appreciate creative, colorful ingredients.

What began as Bacio Pasta & Ravioli Co. in 1984 has blossomed into a full-service catering company and carryout cuisine counter at the corner of Park Avenue and East 19th Street in Chico — housed in the same building that was once the venerable Kramore Inn, ironically, Leveroni’s first client.

Leveroni was pregnant with her second child when she began her culinary journey. Her then-husband’s family was from Northern Italy and it was their recipe that served as a base to which Leveroni added her personal touch. “So there I was, pregnant and raising a two-year-old, making ravioli and pasta and working really hard,” she says.

Her hard work paid off and her client list grew. When Leveroni realized catering accounted for a large portion of her business, she began cultivating Bacio into what is now one of the most sought-after catering companies in the North State. Bacio’s Golden Rule, “It’s all about you,” shines through in Leveroni’s attention to detail and personalized service.

Whether coordinating a corporate event, birthday bash or memorable wedding reception, Leveroni and her staff carefully craft menus to fit each client’s vision. To make selection fun and easy, clients can sample awardwinning cuisine from Bacio’s deli-style eatery. Not only are Leveroni’s creations ideal for elegant events, they are designed to be enjoyed in Bacio’s hip and modern dining area or on the go.

Over the years, Leveroni has redefined fast food by offering handcrafted vegetarian dishes like Polenta Lasagna, gluten-free specialties like the Chico Rice Salad, and hearty meat dishes like Roast Chicken Marbella — all sold by the pound. Of course, the menu wouldn’t be complete without two of Kramore Inn’s signature dishes: Hungarian Mushroom Soup and Thai Chicken Salad. continued on page 52

January 2013 Enjoy 51

Leveroni is proud to support locals by feeding locals. Looking to the seasons for inspiration, she and her crew create dishes using ingredients from North State farmers whenever possible. “I go to Farmer’s Market and forage for food to see what’s fresh,” says Leveroni. She sources from Llano Seco — which provides pork for The Sandwich, Bacio’s “awardwinning, totally addictive” BBQ sandwich — and Comanche Creek, both organic farms in Chico.

By offering tasty, healthy and affordable items, Leveroni hopes to change how people view fast food. Though preparing meals with the finest ingredients can be costly, she keeps prices as low as possible so anyone can enjoy a nourishing meal. “Eating beautiful, delicious food is not only good for you, it’s good for those around you,” she says. “I get a little cosmic in that area ... I want everyone to eat good food.”

She’s been in the business long enough to know that Bacio’s food repertoire would not be balanced without a good helping of comfort food. “We have great cookies ... there’s fat here,” she says with a laugh.

Alongside the Quinoa & French Lentil Herb Salad, customers will find the ultimate feel-good grub: Deluxe Mac & Cheese, Old Fashioned Meatloaf or Savory Pot Pies.

52 Enjoy January 2013

Leveroni’s hard work, honesty and, perhaps more importantly, good listening skills have made her a go-to caterer in Chico. “Being able to listen to your client is one thing,” she says. “Listening to and appreciating your employees is invaluable.” And her method works.

“My core team has been with me for more than 15 years ... I say that with pride.”

Whether the Bacio crew is catering a special event, or serving up dine-in or take-out delicacies, they want you to relax and enjoy your food experience: “We’ve got everything covered.” • www.baciocatering.com 1903 Park Ave., Chico (530) 345-7787

COURT ADJOURNED Youth V iolence P revention Council of S hasta County

Juggling takes practice. Susan Morris Wilson and her staff at the Youth Violence Prevention Council of Shasta County (YVPC) oversee a long tradition of keeping many programs in motion at the same time. YVPC is all about giving teens a chance to change direction and to succeed in life. Many teens who initially meet the staff during the case management process find their way into leadership positions.

Jennifer Richards, the only full-time employee of YVPC, is program manager for Shasta County Youth/Peer Court. Working with Peer Court coordinator Jas Shaw and a cadre of volunteer attorneys, judges and law enforcement officers, Richards leads, teaches and trains a panel of teens as they participate in a “court” setting that convenes in the federal courthouse twice a month.

Instead of going through the regular criminal justice system, teens who have gotten into trouble are referred to YVPC by school counselors, the juvenile probation department or other youth service agencies, and they can choose to face a jury of their peers instead of going through the traditional court system. Along with their parents, they agree to abide by requirements of the program and the disposition of the peer court. Other teens act as defense and prosecuting attorneys, court clerk and jury, with a real judge

presiding and guiding the process. It is all based on a system of “restorative justice” that focuses on the needs of victims, offenders and the community.

Many court members have gone through the program as “respondents” themselves. During the 2011-2012 court sessions, 117 youth volunteers served 1,257 hours of community service in the roles of juror, attorney and clerk for the Shasta County Youth/Peer Court. Recidivism rates punctuate the success of the program. Only 13% of participants in 2011-2012 got in trouble again.

PlusONE Mentors has experienced the most metamorphosis of all the programs offered by YVPC. The vision of two community leaders (Ed Peterson and K. C. Farrar) in the late 1990s, the program waxed and waned under the umbrella of several agencies until adopted most recently by YVPC. Today, mentor coordinator Rachel Leuck helps 35 mentors and their young charges to find common ground and encourage positive interaction. Adam Prado, an AmeriCorps volunteer and YVPC case manager, works with about continued on page 56

Don has been a Plus ONE Mentor for eight years. When he started, he was matched with William, a 12-year-old boy with no father-figure.

The first six months were rocky, as the pair tried to mesh and learn boundaries.

Today, Don and William are still a part of each other’s lives. Don helped William learn to read, drive, apply for a job and be an upstanding man and member of society.

William thrived with his mentor. Now he has applied to be a mentor himself.

a dozen of the most at-risk participants.

January is National Mentoring Month.

YVPC has adopted Search Institute’s 40 Development Assets as their core values; for example, #3 declares: “Young person receives support from three or more nonparent adults.” According to Wilson, mentors fill a needed role in the lives of young people.

Not all YVPC programs target at-risk teens. Classes and programs aim to prevent or overcome destructive behaviors and give teens real-world skills. Every summer, up to 150 sixth- through eighth-grade students and their high school counselors spend three days at Whiskeytown NEED Camp. Middle school students in Shasta County may apply to Shasta Youth Leadership Camp where they address hot topics faced by young people, build leadership skills and develop positive relationships with leaders in the community.

YVPC oversees Fresh Start for Youth Endowment Fund through Shasta Regional Community Foundation. The fund helps young adults achieve educational and job training goals. Initially designed for people who have been incarcerated, the foundation now offers the scholarship to young people in need who are referred through a variety of sources.

Parents who want to grow in their parenting roles can sign up for a number of classes through Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) to hone their skills and improve family dynamics. Open to every parent in

Shasta County, Wilson speaks frankly about the value of education for even those parents who aren’t struggling.

The Graffiti Hotline offers an anonymous service in cooperation with Redding Police Department and other agencies to provide equipment, volunteers and funding for graffiti eradication. Anyone who sees graffiti in the community can call 245-6211 and leave a location on a recorded message; YVPC and Redding Police will follow up to power wash and paint over the graffiti.

Youth Violence Prevention Council of Shasta County keeps all its balls in the air with the help of an active board of directors, as well as charitable and service organizations that not only donate through grants and fundraising efforts, but with their time and personal resources. Richards describes the “warm hand-offs” when youth and family service providers cooperate and collaborate to best meet the needs of young people. The programs and the partnerships have evolved and changed through the years, but today, the staff promotes and provides programs with measurable success in helping youth make positive choices for their futures.• Youth Violence Prevention Council of Shasta County 1700 Pine Street, Suite 250, Redding (530) 244-7194 • www.yvpc.org

Post Office Saloon & Grill owners Tom Poulson and Steve Riley 58 Enjoy January 2013

8 food, music and L ibations at T he P ost O ffice S aloon & G rill

There’s a reason people have been stopping off at the Post Office in Redding for the past 36 years, and it has nothing to do with the mail.

For one thing, the Post Office Saloon & Grill is not a U.S. Postal Service facility (although it certainly looks like it used to be). For another, people visit this Post Office because they know exactly what they’re getting: a fun, comfortable environment with friendly service, good food and live music.

It’s the same vibe co-owner Steve Riley remembers from when he first brought a date to the Post Office a couple dozen years ago, when the bar and restaurant was half its current size. “I thought, ‘You know what? This is the perfect place.’ I’ve always had a fondness for it.”

Now that he’s an owner, “I want it to have the same feeling when I first visited,” Riley says, “where everybody knew everybody and it was a very relaxed atmosphere without the corporate pitch. Waitresses and bartenders got to know you and talked to you like a person; a real relationship. That comfort is what people enjoy.”

Tom Poulson got one of his first looks at the joint in 1982 when he was hired as a bartender. Now he’s a co-owner with Riley and doubles as the manager and daytime bartender. The Redding native and Shasta High graduate also books the entertainment, one of his favorite tasks.

“I enjoy hiring singer-songwriters and bands that are doing original music,” Poulson says. “Music has always been a big part of this place and it’s been real diverse.”

George Thorogood, the Delaware rocker famous for “Bad to the Bone,” played the Post Office in the late ’70s, and an 80-member Welsh national choir once filled the saloon with song. “There was no room for customers, but they all drank heavily,” Poulson recalls with a laugh.

On the local front, the Post Office has been a favorite venue for North State mainstays like the Shasta Band, The Boys, Tommy Twang and the Electric Stimulators, The Kid ‘N’ Nic Show, Marvin Allen & Earthbound and countless others.

While the music is often diverse, reliability is the value Poulson strives for when it comes to the kitchen. “I think the food’s always been consistent. In the early days we were known as a lunch place, but Steve and I have added dinner specials,” he says.

“We provide a quality product, and we’ve been doing it the same way for a lot of years,” adds Riley. “Many people appreciate that. They know what they want and know that’s what they’ll get when they get there. Encountering those constants in life is reassuring.”

There are plenty of fans of the ribs on Tuesdays, prime rib on Thursdays and rib-eye steaks on Fridays and Saturdays, but it is Wednesday’s spaghetti special that’s the most popular. “For $5.25, I think we put most of Redding through college,” Poulson says.

On the bar side, the Post Office enjoys a solid reputation for its Bloody Marys and Long Island iced teas. Four styles of handcrafted ales are on tap and a full appetizer menu is available to help tide things over. continued on page 60

“I enjoy hiring singer-songwriters and bands that are doing original music,” Poulson says. “Music has always been a big part of this place and it’s been real diverse.”

The Post Office opened in August 1976 when Dick Burton completed the brick building that became part of the southern section of the new downtown mall. Poulson says Burton’s partners installed the antique mailboxes and pot-bellied stove that give the bar and restaurant its old-timey feel. George Swendiman, a Redding physician, purchased the business in the early 1980s and had his son, Rob, operate it.

Swendiman, in turn, sold it to Curt Shackelford in 1990.

Shackelford expanded the building, making room for booths and tables behind the large U-shaped bar. Shackelford was ready to sell in 1996; Poulson and Riley were looking for a restaurant venture and a deal was struck.

“All the owners have tried to better the place and put their own twist on it while keeping the same atmosphere. It has kind of a ‘Cheers’ feel to it,” Poulson says. “We just took all the traditions and friendliness and tried to keep that going.”

Running a restaurant is a challenge even in the best of times, but those challenges mount when the economy weakens and food costs escalate. “It’s a hard business, and that’s why you see so many come and go,” Poulson says. “But this place has stood up to that, and that says a lot about the food and the staff.”

Based on the name and the décor, a lot of customers assume the Post Office used to be an actual post office. That’s not the case, Poulson says, but he’s quick to add that the place does have one trait in common with those blue-suited letter carriers: “Through rain, sleet, snow and hail, we deliver the ale.” • The Post Office Saloon & Grill 1636 Market St., Redding (530) 246-2190

January 2013 Enjoy 63

CLASSIC MUST-HAVES The power of a little black dress (the “LBD”) is never to be underestimated. Try a simple sheath dress and pair it with a stylish coat, blazer, leather jacket or the ever-classic and once-again-popular denim jacket. Wrap dresses are flattering on many body types and are always in style. If you are looking to make a statement, pick up an LBD with a peplum — that Greek-inspired, gracefully ruffled overskirt that grazes just over the hips and looks so feminine and chic. Now, strut your stuff and watch for the swoon effect.

The allure of a plain white T-shirt is that it presents endless opportunity for pairing with blazers, cardigans, your favorite pair of jeans, and well, just about anything else in your closet. From boot cut to stovepipe to skinny, from dark denim to stonewash, jeans are altogether fabulous. Invest in a few pairs that you feel sassy in and let them work wonders for your confidence and your wardrobe.

If denim just won’t do, a classic pair of black pants can work with anything from a work-ready blazer to a denim jacket. If you are lucky enough to find a cut you love in several colors, two words of advice: Buy them. If, however, you need a nice alternative to denim or basic dress pants, black leggings will convert just about any dress in your closet to its winter-friendly counterpart in two seconds flat.

Speaking of flats, every fashionable lady knows that ballet flats create the perfect opportunity to go forth in both style and comfort. On days when you just feel the need to cozy up in something a bit more substantial, opt for a pair of equestrian-inspired riding boots. And if you are feeling glam, or need a little sassy pick-me-up, slip into a classic pair of pumps. Even with jeans, they will elevate both your legs and your mood!

HOT NEW TRENDS Graphic prints are huge this season. Although water scenes are among the most coveted, just about any pattern you like will suffice.

Bonus points if you find a fabulous vintage print! If you are not much for pattern, but want to infuse an of-the-moment look into your wardrobe, opt for blues, teals and turquoise shades in sheer, lacy or ruffled materials. The watercolored hues paired with the interesting texture will create movement, but remains more subtle than an all-over print.

Black and white is totally in. We know. You’re scratching your head and wondering, “When has black and white not been in?” But this season, it’s made an enormous resurgence on the runway. Wear it in solid blocks of color, in patterns or in stripes. Wear it with cutouts, with beading or without. Just wear it!

A signature coat is one of the first things people are likely to notice about you. It is covering up whatever fabulous outfit is under it, so make it a good one. A trench is classic and will never go out of style.

Peacoats and military-inspired styles have managed to stand the test of time. Vintage leather jackets are an incredibly hip and wonderful option. Whichever style you choose, make it one that you feel beautiful in. If you are planning to make a bit of an investment in your wardrobe, your coat or jacket would be the piece to invest in, as it is likely to be with you for years to come.

Oxblood is the new black. It’s the color of merlot wine, the perfect marriage of red and chocolate brown. And it’s the “it” color this season.

Other hot shades are plum, berry and eggplant, in addition to squash and winter white (yes, apparently it is OK to wear white after Labor Day after all!). continued on page 66

Need a way to keep warm while wearing that beautiful winterfriendly dress? Fashion tights in vibrant shades of any color are stylish and functional. Speaking of bottoms in bright shades, jeans of every color are back with a vengeance! Their brightness can be nicely balanced with a neutral top and accessories.

Brocade, lace, sheer and beaded elements are a lovely way to introduce some texture into your wardrobe. These elegant yet fun embellishments make dressing up an adventure. Speaking of lace and sheer, have you noticed that styles from the early 1990s are boldly making a comeback? What’s even harder to imagine is that clothing from just 20 years ago has been elevated to the “vintage” category!

That means it has been officially inducted into the fashion hall of fame. So go ahead and select one of those '90s inspired short suits, just in time for spring.

Skip your basic stud earrings or “been there, done that” hoops and opt for a pair of shoulder grazers. It may feel strange at first to wear an earring this long, but among the perks of these dazzlers are that they elongate the neck and will frame your face beautifully. From metal elements to feathers to beads and everything in between, anything goes with this fearless and fun look.

In 2013, get your party on all year long! Just make sure you’ve got the right party attire first. •

ADVERTISMENT

Bonhams’ Consignment Appraisal Event at The Mt. Shasta Mall Proceeds to Benefit Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation For the first time in Redding, renowned appraisers from the esteemed Bonhams’ Auction House, San Francisco and frequent guests on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow will hold a Consignment Appraisal Event with proceeds from evaluations going directly to Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. Bonhams is one of the world’s oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. The Bonhams’ name is recognized worldwide throughout all sectors of the fine art, antiques and collectors market, with several of its departments established world leaders within their specialist category.

Appraisers will provide participants with verbal auction market values of their property. Participants will have an option to consign and sell at auction if their items meet Bonhams’ minimum consignment requirements. Bonhams’ appraisers will conduct verbal auction appraisals in the following specializations: Fine Art, Furniture & Decorative Arts, Books, Maps & Manuscripts, Asian Furniture & Decorative Art, and Jewelry. (Bonhams’ appraisers will not be available to provide evaluations during this event for watches, antiquities, i.e., ancient Roman, Greek or Egyptian artifacts, musical instruments, entertainment memorabilia, African or Oceanic artifacts, arrowheads, stamps or sports memorabilia.)

Appraisers will offer fair market evaluations, which represent recent values achieved at auction for similar goods. Although evaluations will be verbal and participants are welcome to take notes, arrangements can be made for future written, formal appraisals for insurance policies, taxes or other official uses.

Verbal Evaluations will cost $5.00 per item or five items for $20.00 with 100% of proceeds going directly to Shasta Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, Inc. This event is made possible with support from the Mt. Shasta Mall.

Bonhams, founded in 1793, is one of the world’s oldest and largest auctioneers of fine art and antiques. The present company was formed by the merger in November 2001 of Bonhams & Brooks and Phillips Son and Neale UK. In August 2002, the company acquired Butterfields, the principal firm of auctioneers on the West Coast of America. Today, Bonhams offers more sales than any of its rivals, through two major salerooms in London: New Bond Street, and Knightsbridge, and a further five throughout the UK. Sales are also held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Carmel, New York and Boston in the USA; Toronto, Canada; and France, Monaco, Hong Kong, Australia and Dubai. Bonhams has a worldwide network of offices and regional representatives in 25 countries offering sales advice and valuation services in 57 specialist areas. By the end of 2009, Bonhams had become UK market leaders in ten key specialist collecting areas.

Established in Redding in 1979, Shasta Wildlife Rescue is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured wildlife as well as public education. Shasta Wildlife provides restorative care to more than 100 different species from all over Northern California. Each year, volunteers provide care for more than 1,500 birds and mammals as well as conduct educational workshops for children and adults.

What’s Cookin’

By: Lana Granfors

Photos: Kara Stewart

Fabulous Falafel and Tasty Tzatziki My husband loves Falafel and will order them whenever he finds them on a menu. For home, I have tried lots of recipes, some successes and many crumbling failures. I have found that the keys for keeping them from crumbling, are really hot oil and chilled dough. The one I found that I have had most success with is from Epicurious…it’s always a hit. It calls for dried chickpeas soaked overnight, with which I have had the best luck, but I have also used canned when I had less time for the soaking. If using canned, just make sure you dry them really well. A salad spinner works great for this. If you can, chill the dough for a few hours, but I have prepared them only after about 1 hour in the refrigerator. I love this recipe as is, but have added feta in the mixture with great results. Some prefer tzatziki sauce instead of tahini, but we prefer the tzatziki. Serve falafel on a bed of lettuce, sliced tomatoes and a pita. These are awesome and a real crowd pleaser.

Falafel ingredients: 2 ½ cup dried chickpeas

1 small onion, quartered

2 garlic cloves ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves ½ cup fresh parsley leaves ½ tsp ground cumin

4 T all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1 ½ tsp kosher salt ¹⁄³ cup water Oil for deep frying Falafel PREPARATION Soak chickpeas overnight in a large bowl filled with water. ▶ Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place them in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the onion, garlic, cilantro and parsley and pulse until ingredients are combined and the texture is grainy. ▶ In a separate bowl, mix together the cumin, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the chickpea mixture and mix until well combined. (If adding any crumbled Feta cheese, as mentioned above, this is where to do it.) Gradually add the water and mix until reaching a thick, paste-like texture. ▶Heat the oil in a large skillet. Meanwhile, using your hands, form the chickpea mixture into balls, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Once the oil is hot (375º), place the balls in the oil, a few at a time, and cook for about 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients:

2 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped ¼ tsp salt

3 cup Greek Yogurt

2 T dillweed

1 tsp mint

1 T lemon juice or juice of one lemon

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 T olive oil Pepper to taste Tzatziki Sauce PREPARATION Place the chopped cucumbers in a medium bowl and toss with salt. Set aside for 15 minutes. Place the cucumbers on paper towel and blot dry for several more minutes. Blot to remove any excess moisture. Combine all ingredients together. Mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning and refrigerate at least 1 hour for flavors to intensify.

Falafel Prep time: 3 ½ hrs plus beans soaked overnight Cooking time: 8 - 10 minutes Total time: 3 hrs, 40 mins; Servings: 25 balls Tzatziki Sauce Prep time: 30 mins for cucumbers; 5 mins to combine Refrigerator time: 1 hr; Total time: 1 hr, 35 mins; Servings: 3 cups

A purveyor of spellbinding story songs and mean guitar work, Chuck Brodsky has a sharp eye for detail, a wicked sense of humor and the ability to capture entire stories in a few resonant images.

WHAT’S IN STORE Mike Huber Think granite is only for countertops? Meet Mike Huber, who has flexed his creativity muscle to create cutting boards, tables, fireplace hearths and even unique barrel roasters using the gloriously gorgeous rock. Huber grew up in Whitmore and graduated from Enterprise High School in 1984 , then spent three years as active duty in the Army and another five in the reserves. He then attended Shasta College, and opened Estate Granite in 2004. He and his wife, Nicole, live in Redding with their four sons: twins Landon and Logan, 12; Cody, 10; and Zac, 7.

His creation, The Ultimate Lucky Roaster, and his granite cutting boards are available at Enjoy the Store.

Unlike wood and clay, we’re guessing that granite isn’t very forgiving. Is it a difficult medium to work with?

It can be. It’s not like metal, where when you cut it too short, you just weld on a little more. You’ve got to be very precise and take the time initially to do it right.

What do you love about it?

There’s so much beauty in granite, almost like a piece of art. I love standing in front of a slab to try to pinpoint the beauty – you’ve just got to find it. My cutting boards are the coolest pieces of the junk I have left over.

What is your favorite product to create?

My barrel roasters, which just became available at Enjoy the Store.

The business is called The Ultimate Lucky Roaster, which was inspired by my friend and hunting buddy, Brian Salado and Steve Boero, because the handles are made from recycled horseshoes; our logo is a horseshoe also. I make the roasters out of recycled oil drums and other recycled items – we line the bottom with granite, so the heat stays in the barrel. The finish is like a work of art, but they’re functional and they last because of the ceramic clear paint we use on the outside. Because they get so hot, they change color – they usually start as a bronze-gold color, then they get darker over time. We cook tri-tips, whole chickens or almost any type of meat in them. You hang the meats inside, and there’s no direct flame, so all the juice stays in the meat. I’m still experimenting with it, trying different types of woods to get different flavors out of the meat. That is the beauty of roasting meat at home.

Where do your ideas come from?

About a year ago, I was standing in my 9,000-square-foot shop and nothing was going on. I had to open my eyes and think outside the box: “What can I do with granite besides kitchens?” I can build tables. I did a dining room table – I built the base and put a granite top on it. Lots of my tables are small, like octagonal breakfast nook tables, or corner tables, but I’ve also done a 16-foot conference table.

I’ve also made incredible outdoor fire pit tables. A new division of my business is the furniture – I’d love to have a store full of granite furniture. •

Giving Back

the redding police department chaplaincy program offers a helping hand When his 5-year-old son Michael was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, the Redding Police Department chaplains were there to support Cpl. Mike Woods and his family. The veteran officer, who has been with the department for 11 years, says prior to arriving at the agency he had never been exposed to a police chaplaincy program and admits, “At first I was a little suspicious of it.”

Once he got to know the chaplains and what the program was about, Woods’ initial standoffishness disappeared, which proved helpful when his son became ill. “It was devastating to our family,” he says. “We had to commute back and forth to San Francisco a lot.

The chaplains stepped in and supported us by facilitating meals and fundraisers.”

Now 14, Michael is doing well as he approaches the five-year anniversary of his bone marrow transplant. “He still goes for checkups every six months at UCSF and we still get support from our chaplains through this on-going process,” Woods says.

The department’s chaplaincy program, which has been operating for 25 years, serves officers, their families and the community. Begun with a single chaplain, the program was reorganized in 1996 and today includes a senior supervising chaplain and several volunteers from the community.

Fort Bragg Police Chief Scott Mayberry, new to RPD at the time of the program’s reorganization, was instrumental in helping to expand it. “We started recruiting pastors from local churches and said ‘Here’s our vision. We need help,’” he says.

Those who serve do so either as community or law enforcement chaplains. The former, laypeople endorsed by their denomination, support officers and citizens in the field. Law enforcement chaplains are licensed or ordained through their denomination to serve both in the field and individually with officers, their families and RPD administration.

In addition to off-shift assistance, such as that received by Woods and his family, chaplains provide needed spiritual support to officers during ride-alongs, at scenes and in private. Chief Mayberry, a second-generation police officer who began to experience stress-related illness after 10 years on the job, says chaplains play an invaluable role in seeing officers through some very difficult circumstances.

This is particularly evident after officer-involved shootings, when the officer in question is sequestered while the department and other agencies investigate, Mayberry says. “No one comes in and asks, ‘How are you doing?’ or says ‘Thanks for saving my life,’” he adds. continued on page 86 January 2013 Enjoy 85

“A chaplain is on call every hour of every day of every year. With only six chaplains, these individuals are making a huge commitment and sacrifice. But that sacrifice is not perceived by them as a sacrifice.

They love what they do. They are true servants and that is what it takes to do this job.”

“It’s lonely and stressful. A chaplain can come in and meet the needs of the officer and the family, letting them know someone is on their side.”

Duane Friesen, a retired California Highway Patrol officer, licensed pastor and chaplain for 13 years, says one of the most challenging aspects in this calling is providing death notifications. “Sometimes when someone dies unexpectedly, the family members don’t know what to do,” he says, “so we walk them through some of the next steps.”

Fellow law enforcement chaplain Debbie Ivey adds, “Many emotions are expressed when someone is told of a loss. We tell people what they are experiencing is a normal reaction to an abnormal event.” Chaplains carry phone numbers and printed material for people of all faiths that can be handed out as a reference.

Chaplains participate in a 30-hour academy prior to becoming field-trainees who shadow an experienced chaplain before serving independently. The initial training involves two to three weekends, with ongoing training in critical incident stress management and pastoral crisis intervention, says Cyndee Thomas, who served as the department’s senior chaplain for 16 years before retiring last fall.

Mark Robertson, a chaplain since 2002 and Thomas’ replacement, says, “A chaplain is on call every hour of every day of every year. With only six chaplains, these individuals are making a huge commitment and sacrifice. But that sacrifice is not perceived by them as a sacrifice.

They love what they do. They are true servants and that is what it takes to do this job.” Several of the chaplains, including Robertson, hold full-time jobs.

While the uniform invites questions and word-of-mouth piques interest, many like Ivey discover the program after seeing a flyer about it in their church bulletin. “It sounded interesting,” she says.

“I attended the meeting and was hooked. After 12 years, I am just as much on fire for this ministry as I was the day I submitted my application.”

From the most traumatic situations, Ivey has witnessed positive outcomes, including mended relationships and the founding of new organizations to help others in need. “You cannot prevent what has taken place,” she says, “but you can be there as an emotional and spiritual support.” • The Redding Police Chaplain Program will host a Law Enforcement Chaplain Academy in Redding, February 7-9, 2013.
