Why would someone leave all the comforts of home behind to opt for laboring up a rocky trail with a heavy pack only to sleep on the ground? There better be something pretty special up in those mountains. Indeed, the experience of backpacking in the Trinity Alps, Marble Mountains and Russian Wilderness justifies the effort. Spectacular beauty pulls people in, but mental therapy also plays into the attraction. “For me, it’s like a reset button,” explains David Dodd, an outdoor enthusiast and salesperson at Sports Ltd. in Redding. “I really like getting out and away from everything like phones and computers. You have everything with you that you need to survive. A lot of worries about continued on page 20 July 2013 ENJOY | 19
day-to-day life just fall away. There’s not much to do other than enjoy beautiful scenery and relax.” Combined, the three wilderness areas cover some 780,000 acres of land stretching from just north of Weaverville in Trinity County to the western reaches of Siskiyou County. The region is part of the Klamath Mountain Range, with high points such as 9,001-foot Thompson Peak and 9,025-foot Mount Eddy. An array of trail systems, including the Pacific Crest Trail, weave through the alpine canvas and connect to stunning lakes tucked into massive granite cirques. These spots are spiritual amphitheaters where a person can swim, fish or just sit on a rock and zone out on waterfalls, boulders, pines and wildlife all in the same vista. “They all have unique personalities, these lakes,” says Leon Nelson, who has logged hundreds of backpacking trips into the wilderness areas, including his first trek into the Caribou Lakes basin in 1947 when just a boy. “I tell people to expect the unexpected.” The planning phase can be intimidating to would-be backpackers (how do you remember everything?), but it’s important to focus on the key factors to surviving outdoors, says Dodd. “When you really break it down it’s pretty simple,” Dodd says. “Humans need food, water and shelter. I like to tell people, ‘Don’t get too stressed about all the little gadgets.’ If you have food, shelter, the ability to stay warm and keep hydrated, everything else becomes an amenity.” The best investments a backpacker can make include a pack that fits the body well, quality and comfortable boots, and a lightweight, but warmly rated sleeping bag and pad. Water pump filtration systems and ultraviolet light technology devices are popular for treating drinking water. Layers of water-wicking clothing with an outer waterproof shell provide a good plan for staying warm. Most backpackers use lightweight tents, but rigging a tarp system or using a lightweight hammock with a tarp are also popular methods for sleeping comfort. It’s important to remember that in the mountains, the weather can change rapidly. It can rain (or snow) any month of the year in these wilderness areas.
20 | Enjoy JULY 2013
Once you’ve set up camp, it’s essential to hang your backpacks and food to protect them from wildlife, Nelson adds. The most common technique is to use a rope and a rock to throw a line over a high tree limb, then hoist a tent-bag full of food (and other items with a scent, like toothpaste). You want them out of the reach of creatures like deer, squirrels and bear. Last summer, a backpacking group left for a day hike near Grizzly Lake only to return to chewed up shirts, socks and even a hiking pole strap. “Deer can hugely be a nuisance,” Nelson says. “Rats can chew on the laces of your boots. You want to put things in a place where no animals can get to them – far off the ground.” With hundreds of lakes and three large wilderness areas to choose from, it can be a little daunting to select a destination. Many groups select loops, which take them to a new lake each day. Others prefer heading to a single lake and spending the time doing day hikes. With the incredibly light precipitation over the winter, this summer is atypical of a normal season for the wilderness areas. Many higher elevation lakes were accessible and free of snow by May. In a more normal year, the backpacking season tends to run from late June through September. Maps are available at the U.S. Forest Service headquarters in the region, sporting goods stores or online. Hikers should always scan the forecast before heading into the mountains. For novices or families with younger children, both Dodd and Nelson mentioned Tangle Blue Lake in the northern Trinity Alps. The beautiful lake is just three miles from its trailhead. Popular routes in the Trinity Alps include the trails along Canyon Creek, Stuarts Fork, Swift Creek and Coffee Creek. Shackleford Creek Trail, Sky High Valley and Paradise Lake are popular destinations in the Marbles. “That’s the hardest part, deciding just where to go,” Nelson says. • Jim Dyar is a freelance writer, musician and a former arts and entertainment editor at the Record Searchlight.

bug patrol
n at u ra l p e s t ma n a g e m e n t We’ve come to accept that bugs are bad, in any form. Spot a spider. Squish it. Spy a praying mantis. Get rid of it. Cruise the gardening aisles at any home center and you’ll find significant shelf space devoted to all manner of bug-killing potions. In reality, large numbers of what home gardeners consider pests can make good predatory pals. Sinthya Penn, president of Beneficial Insectary, a producer of organisms used in biological pest control, has made it her life’s work to help commercial growers naturally integrate their pest management systems. As validation for her company’s mission, she points to a moment in agriculture when, in 1927, the citrophilus mealybug endangered more than 3 million acres of California citrus crops. The introduction of two species of natural predatory enemies resulted in complete control of the mealybugs within two years. “It literally saved the citrus industry,” says Penn. While Penn admits she isn’t in business to evangelize growers to go green, it’s difficult to ignore that the company, with a home office in east Redding, plays a huge part in contributing to a growing awareness of what natural ecological balance can look like. Movies such as “Food, Inc.” and grassroots movements like Food Not Lawns surfaced awareness of how pesticides affect people and their families. Christen Smith, a customer service specialist with Beneficial Insectary, says, “In the 11 years I’ve worked here, people’s reception to what I do has changed. They used to wonder why I would work with bugs, but now they’ve started to understand.” Every home gardener will have problems with pests, she says. continued on page 24 July 2013 ENJOY | 23
It’s how they look at them and coexist with them that will make the difference between a healthy or toxic patch of land. “My son picks and eats tomatoes right off our plants,” says Smith. “I don’t have to worry about him ingesting toxins or getting it on our skin.” “It’s a paradigm shift,” says Penn. People have been trained to accept only the greenest of lawns, but “going green” doesn’t always mean green. “Yards can still be attractive. They don’t have to be weed patches.” Gardeners can naturally landscape with ground covers and vegetables, creating an environment where pests will surely want to play. Making the change to natural pest management is both simple and not-sosimple. Because gardeners can’t necessarily see the process happening, they might be inclined to think it isn’t working. Patience, coupled with desire, interest and an investment in knowledge, is the key to biological pest control. “You have to look at your plants,” says Smith. It is important to notice and identify pests in order to address them. UC Davis offers a statewide pest management program with specific information targeted to home, garden, turf and landscape pests. Using bugs isn’t as creepy as it might seem. If the idea of reaching bare hands into buckets of bugs has you running for pesticide, think again. Modern products look much like any other store-bought product. For instance, nematodes, used for grubs, fungus gnats and other soil-dwelling pests, come in microscopic form, in a powder-like substance that is activated in a watering can or sprayer. While home growers still have complete choice about whether to use beneficial organisms, commercial growers are discovering that integrated pest management is a must. Similar to bacterial resistances of antibiotics in the medical field, pests are developing resistances to traditional pesticides. Even for growers not committed to fully organic processes, beneficials now play an important role, helping crops survive until effective pesticides can be used. Consider making friends with natural garden visitors. Squelch the urge to squish first and ask questions later. Spend a moment getting to know your bugs. You might discover they are doing your tomatoes huge favors. • Home gardeners can order beneficial organisms from: Greenmethods.com • GrowOrganic.com

Like most college graduates, Jorgelina Roisenzvit, 35, was ready for a high-powered job when she was handed her diploma at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Unlike most grads, however, she wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the part-time retail job she’d held to get her through school. She worked in a clothing boutique and found she’d developed a bond with her co-workers and enjoyed interacting with customers. She decided to stay on as she moved forward in her career in wealth management. When she and her husband Cesar arrived in Red Bluff from Miami in June 2011, it didn’t take Jorgelina long to figure out that her next move should be to return to the boutique lifestyle. This time, however, she’d be the owner. And she’d be bringing her mom, whom she’d moved to be near, and daughters in with her. On October 28, 2011, Jorgelina, her mother Susana Roisenzvit and daughter Giuliana Roisenzvit opened the doors to 3 Generations, a downtown Red Bluff boutique that offers women’s clothing as well as classes. “My idea is the whole woman, the inside and the outside,” says Susana, 60. “You can get beautiful clothes, but also a book club, a workshop, an art class.” All three women built their business around the idea of establishing a place where women can find each other as well as fashionable boutique-style clothes. As newcomers to the community, Jorgelina and Giuliana were well aware of the need to find new friends. They also noticed a trend among Susana’s generation. “A lot of women, when they retire, move to Red Bluff and need to meet people,” says Jorgelina.
“You can get beautiful clothes, but also a book club, a workshop, an art class.”

One of the first things the women started doing was to offer fashion shows, using their customers as models. These fun events not only showcased the clothes but allowed friends to come together in celebration of fashion and each other. Many love to shop 3 Generations because of the personalized service that comes with an artist’s eye for details. Susana’s great love is art and she keeps a studio set up in the back of the boutique where she paints and offers classes. Original art adorns the walls, many pieces hers, but often also the work of regional artists. “My mom’s art is amazing in how it helps matching colors and textures,” says Jorgelina. “We have quite a few clients that come here and say, ‘OK, Susana, what should I wear?’” adds her mother. “I have one or two clients that say I’m their mirror. That’s fun.” The third generation is 14-year-old Giuliana, a freshman at Red Bluff High School, who recalls the joy she found in the fashion design kit she played with as a child in Miami.

mom and grandma on buying trips to Los Angeles every two months. “I choose clothes all the time, which is really fun,” she says. “It’s kind of like a dream come true because I thought about it so much when I was little.” “We all have really different tastes in clothes,” says her mom with a warm smile. The three generations have a friendly competition about whose clothes will sell first. So far, Susana seems to be winning. “Almost everything grandma picks gets sold!” exclaims Giuliana. “Not only gets sold-- they love it!” adds Jorgelina. The frequent buying trips unite the generations and allow them to keep the boutique fresh and trendy. They also ensure quality purchases in a way that can never be fully trusted when purchasing online. “I touch everything,” says Susana, noting that she’s a stickler for quality construction as well as design. “Obviously, we buy what we like but we are also open to feedback,” says Jorgelina. “We don’t repeat.” While the idea of a three-day, multi-generational shopping trip continued on page 30

may sound romantic, Jorgelina deadpans about the reality of just one leg of the journey, “It’s eight hours together in the car.” While there are a few stretches of Interstate 5 that may prove insufferable on the way to Los Angeles, the family is used to traveling long distances. Susana and her husband, a physician, brought their family to the United States from Argentina when he found work here. She returns occasionally to visit family and always makes a point to bring unique items back to the boutique. The youngest of the generations, Valentina, is only 5 and has already had addresses in two states. She is referred to as “the Princess generation.” While not yet a partner, her family knows she’ll bring an even different aesthetic to the family business. 3 Generations is in historic downtown offers the unique perspective of all three owners and their gleanings from frequent travels to Los Angeles markets. Says Jorgelina, “Every time you come in you can find new things.

clear the clutter pa r e d o wn y o ur b e a uty pr o d u c ts w i t h t h e s e h e lpful t i ps In preparation for a new and exciting journey, which thus requires the packing and paring down of my belongings, it has hit me that I have way too many beauty products (if such a phrase can truly be uttered). Granted, I was a makeup artist for years and still have a plethora of gratis to show for it; however, no one’s cabinet hinges should be straining, makeup bag overflowing! It’s time for a reduction strategy to help you (and me) pare down to the essentials. THE NECESSITIES • Moisturizer with retinol. Apply this anti-aging ingredient before bedtime to reduce fine lines and even out discoloration. • Concealer. The right formula will hide under-eye circles as well as blemishes and dark spots. Try a stick formula—creamy enough for under eyes, yet dry enough to keep a pimple under wraps all day. (CoverGirl Smoothers, $6.50) • Lip balm. Your lips require a waxy balm to stay hydrated because they have a dry keratin layer on their surface. A balm that contains shea butter seals in moisture most effectively. (Burt’s Bees Medicated Lip Balm, $4)
• Mascara. Two coats leave your eyes looking larger, your face more “finished.” A volumizing formula is your best bet, as it makes lashes appear longer, darker and thicker. (Lancôme Hypnôse Drama, $25) • Moisturizer with sunscreen. Use it every single day, rain or shine. For extra protection against free radicals, look for one that also has antioxidants (like vitamins C and E). (Aveeno Positively Ageless + Antioxidants SPF 42, $20, or Clinique Superdefense SPF 25, $43) • Body moisturizer. A good, full-service choice should contain glycerin. Apply when skin is still damp from the shower. (Eucerin Daily Skin Balance Skin-Fortifying Body Lotion, $10) • Lipcolor. You really need only two options (sounds crazy, I know): a neutral pink gloss for day, a deeper red to dress you up for night. Remember, we’re paring down… • Blush. Rosy cheeks suggest robust health, and a cream blush is an easy way to get the look. It has a natural sheen and won’t settle into fine lines. (Revlon Cream Blush, $10) • Eyelash curler. Turning up lashes makes them look longer, and also lets more light into the eyes so your irises have more sparkle. (Handsdown the best curler is Shu Uemura, $19, shuuemura-usa.com.) continued on page 34 July 2013 ENJOY | 33
If that seems too extreme a paring-down, here are some add-ons to give you more oomph. • Exfoliator. If you’re dealing with dry patches or clogged pores, you might need an exfoliator to help slough away dead skin cells. On your face, use a gentle scrub that contains smooth microbeads. On your body, try a sugar or salt formula. Always use prior to any selftanning, as dry patches will lead to uneven color. And if you get frequent waxing, exfoliate to lessen the chance of ingrown hairs. • Tinted moisturizer or foundation. Concealer goes a long way toward evening out your complexion, but for a flawless finish, you’ll want a tinted moisturizer (for sheer coverage) or a foundation (if you need a bit more coverage). The right color disappears into your skin with one swipe, even before blending. Choose a formula suited to your skin type: oily, dry, etc. • Self-tanner. I am a huge fan of self-tanner—it’s come a long way since the ‘90s. Try a lotion, spray, mousse or foam to give you a subtle glow. You’ll avoid the Oompa Loompa effect as long as you stay within two shades of your natural skin tone. ( Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer, $9) • Eye cream. Look for a formula that addresses your primary concern. i.e. puffiness, fine lines, dark circles. Caffeine is best for puffy eyes (try Clinique All About Eyes Serum, $28); niacinamide and retinol smooth fine lines, and sunscreen is the best protector against dark pigmentation. • Eyeliner. Mascara and curled lashes may make you bright-eyed, but eyeliner emphasizes your eyes. Pencils are the most foolproof, and dark brown is universally flattering; however, play with different textures, formulas and colors to find your perfect liner. (MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy, $14) • Bronzer. A little glow adds warmth to your skin and creates a flattering contrast with your eyes. Use a powder brush and apply it to the temples, cheekbones and chin (anywhere the sun would naturally hit). (Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Pressed Bronzer, $15) • Teeth whitening strips. Now, this may seem frivolous, but whiter teeth can take years off, and brighten your whole face as well. Drugstore whiteners are basically just as effective as professional treatments for a fraction of the price, but you have to use them religiously for a couple of weeks. Follow up with whitening toothpaste and mouthwash. Just remember—whitening can cause your teeth to be more sensitive. (Rembrandt Whitening Strips, $24) Even if you keep a few more things than this list suggests, hopefully you will see that it takes very little to give you that pulled-together look. So clean out those makeup bags and de-clutter your life—or at least, your bathroom! •

crafty co n n ec t i o n s s h e ’ s c r a fty s c r a pb o o k i ng st o r e i n R e d d i ng Jenney Gannon wasn’t looking for her life’s purpose on the day she discovered that her favorite local scrapbooking store was for sale, but in essence, a life of purpose is what she found. Gannon, who has been scrapbooking for nearly 15 years, always had a dream to open a store. And when the opportunity to purchase her own little piece of heaven came to her nearly two years ago, she told her husband what she wanted to do. She’ll never forget his words: “Go for it. Scratch it off your bucket list.” And so, she did. She began to pour her heart and soul into creating a happy place where she hoped scrapbookers, mixed-media artists and the like would feel at home and encouraged in their creative endeavors. She began creating a sense of community within the walls of She’s Crafty, something she wanted not only for her customers, but felt she needed
for herself. “There is something magical that happens when creative people get together.” As a wife, mother, business owner and labor and delivery nurse at Mercy Medical Center Redding, Gannon admits with a laugh that her life is “full-time crazy.” When she’s not watching life begin before her eyes at the hospital, as she has for nearly 10 years, she is creating connections that will last a lifetime through her store. Gannon appreciates the juxtaposition between the right brain and the left brain – the side of herself that craves order and organization and the side that says “let’s just spill the glitter and see what happens.” A self-proclaimed “old soul,” Gannon loves “the dynamics of people, people’s stories – their memories. Some people scrapbook based on genealogy, but I like to tell life’s real moments.” This perspective stems continued on page 38
July 2013 ENJOY | 37
“ I feel very fortunate to have a place where I feel connected…” from Gannon’s firm belief in living her truth, and, most importantly, in walking the path she believes God has intended for her. “I think people get used to living and doing what they always do. But it’s so much fun using all of the crayons in the box.“ Gannon chose the name “She’s Crafty” because she knew the business would evolve into something more than beautiful paper products. And it has evolved, from being a place that Gannon hoped would give her the sense of fulfillment she needed, into a place where customers and even complete strangers have begun to feel loved and cared for – a place where they belong. “It’s not just a store. It’s a place, a location, a destination. It’s awesome. It’s a human connection. It’s more than being a nurse, a business owner and an artist. I feel very fortunate to have a place where I feel connected and a place where others feel connected, too. She’s Crafty is more than just scrapbooking stuff. It’s sort of my heart,” says Gannon. The love that emanates from Gannon’s heart and into the building that houses She’s Crafty doesn’t stop there. It flows freely from one creative soul to another, and out into the community. Gannon has used her business as not only an opportunity to work with other creative people, but as a way of blessing others through philanthropic endeavors. She often invites her customers to be a part of her efforts to help others in the community. “Sometimes we raise money, other times we will create a memory in the form of a scrapbook, but either way, we give it

with the intention of showing love to someone else. “I love that my business is doing well, but I really love that people are coming in and asking how others are doing. I have some of the best ladies that come into the shop. One of my customers is a widower who has taught me so much about marriage. Another is a traveler who shares her adventures around the world with me. ” Gannon has even begun designing her own scrapbook paper, which proudly features the Sundial Bridge and is available at her store. The shelves at She’s Crafty are adorned with paper in virtually every color of the rainbow, crafting materials, tools and everything needed to create a beautiful work of art – and the work of some of her customers. “I want them to feel that they belong here. Because they do. This place is for us.”• She’s Crafty • 2620 Larkspur Lane, Suite Q, Redding (530) 722-9200 • shescraftyscrapbook.blogspot.com Find She’s Crafty on Facebook Kimberly N.

Just north of Mount Shasta near Hammond Ranch sits a very special 112 acres of woods, streams, meadows and mountains. Tucked into this beauty is Headwaters Outdoor School, where people from all over the country, and indeed the world, have come to appreciate nature and learn wilderness skills from founder Tim Corcoran. Part mystic, part mountain man and whole warm human being, Corcoran’s vision of learning about the wilderness is much more than how to make a fire and collecting edibles. Students learn all that and more, but Corcoran wants people to go away changed about how they feel about the natural world. “I want people to take back with them a personal connection with nature,” says Corcoran, 58. “Not just appreciation, but a deep personal connection.” With a gray beard, white mane and engaging smile, Corcoran presides over a school that offers a vast variety of nature and wilderness classes from beginner to advanced, including a Winter Class, Boys’ Rite of Passage, Nature Awareness, Wilderness Skills, Earth Philosophy, Bow Making, Edible Useful Plants, Plant Medicine and Vision Quests. Special classes can be arranged. Many Waldorf, charter and public schools hold private classes at Headwaters. Classes range from a single day to week-long intensive experiences. Corcoran employs teachers, mentors and apprentices that mirror his love of nature. Corcoran
is also the author of the autobiographical “Growing up with a Soul Full of Nature” and a nature photography art book. The founding of Headwaters, of course, was no casual endeavor. Starting the school 23 years ago was life changing for Corcoran, but not unexpected, as Corcoran “always thought about nature since I was a little boy” and had previously run a very small wilderness school in another area. “We went to look at the land near Hammond Ranch. I had previously nurtured an injured red tail hawk that lived to be 44 years old, the world record,” Corcoran says. “I walked down to a creek on the land and a red tail hawk feather floated down. It was a sign. I turned to the real estate salesman and said, ‘I’ll take it.’” But it didn’t stop there. “I sat out on the land and got a message from the land that I should be the land’s caretaker and all things upon it, and bring people to it,” Corcoran says. “That night, my co-founder and I had the same dream, that we should start an outdoors school to teach people about nature and call it Headwaters. That’s how it was born.” If a person took the right combination of Headwaters classes, he or she could live self-sustained in the woods, he says. He “loves all the classes,” but there is one that is special. “Nature Awareness is the most meaningful,” Corcoran continued on page 42

To walk through the doors of La Flor de Michoacan Paleteria y Neveria in Chico is to step into a part of Mexico where ice cream and frozen fruit bars are a steadfast tradition and recipes are handed down through the generations. The bright pink walls and freezer cases from Mexico transport customers of Mexican descent back to their homeland and offer others a unique opportunity to experience a sweeter side of Mexican cuisine. “I grew up inside an ice-cream shop in Mexico,” says owner Antonio Arreguin Bermudez. “In my hometown almost everyone knows how to make ice cream.” By age 10 he was making ice cream for the shop, but he knew greater opportunities could be found in the United States. He set off at age 14 by himself for the San Joaquin Valley.
a y N everia
i n C h i co
He found work as a farm laborer, but realized he needed more opportunities to secure a brighter future. “I started looking for an education,” he says. He enrolled at Reedley High School after starting English classes there in the evenings. “Basically, high school was my home,” he says. “I had breakfast there, I had lunch there. I studied there. I showered there. It was the first time I’d had a hot shower.” A high school counselor reached out to him and started talking about college. He enrolled in the Summer Bridge program at Fresno State University and notes, “It was my first time stepping onto a college campus in my life.” He supported himself working as a janitor in the campus cafeteria 20-30 hours a week. Ten years after arriving in the United States, he held a diploma from continued on page 46 July 2013 ENJOY | 45
Fresno State and was on his way to a master’s in Hispanic literature. From Fresno, he moved on to the University of Arizona at Tucson to earn a PhD, also in Hispanic literature. Today, Antonio holds full professorship at Chico State University, where he teaches Spanish and Spanish literature and supports students preparing to become high school Spanish teachers. He has published a novel, “Burnt Honey,” and a book of 21 short stories. He focuses his research on border issues and notes that they comprise more than just the physical border between the United States and Mexico. “Psychological borders— those are the most difficult to overcome,” he says. “I’m very interested in finding out about those other borders.” Antonio, his wife Anabel, daughter and eldest son operate the shop when they aren’t teaching or studying. Together they create and serve such dreamy tropical flavors as mango, pineapple, avocado, watermelon, pomegranate with lime, cactus fruit and tequila. There are 48 flavors of bars and 32 flavors of ice cream. American standards such as vanilla and chocolate are found next to more traditional Mexican flavors like bunuelo (fried tortilla with brown sugar) and pumpkin pie. Everything is made on site using equipment imported from Mexico. The recipes and equipment prohibit air from entering the product, so it holds a more dense, gelato-like texture. “It’s a different way for making ice cream bars,” notes Antonio. “It’s more like the old times.”
The shop also serves chicharrones (fried pork skins), elote (roasted corn), nachos and aguasfrescas (refreshing drinks made from a combination of fruits, cereals, seeds or flowers and blended with sugar and water). Opening the shop on April 6, 2012, was the realization of a dream Antonio held from childhood but “didn’t even think about, it was too far away” when he arrived here. He wants to create a cultural and family legacy for his children. “I want them to go to school,” he says. “I think education is really, really important. But I also want to teach them the ethics of working hard.” Indeed, his daughter has just graduated from Chico State and is on her way to Texas State University at San Marcos to pursue a graduate degree. In preparation, she’s been taking an ice-cream cart to regional festivals on weekends to earn money for her living expenses. “This country has given me, a lot,” says Antonio. “I have my education,” though noting with a laugh, “It was not free. I’m still paying for it.” “I want to give something back, something unique, something that was passed down.” Of the shop, he says, “For me, it’s another way to say thank you. I’m here as an immigrant giving something back, something positive.” • La Flor de Michoacan Paleteria y Neveria 1008 West Sacramento Ave., Suite C, Chico • (530) 893-9999

Competitions like those held at The Fiesta originated in the early 1900s as a way for lumberjacks to prove their strength, skill and stamina. Today the festival is a way to celebrate community and to remember McCloud’s rich logging history. McCloud’s lumber roots run deep. The first settlers homesteaded in 1829, but it wasn’t until some 60 years later when A.F. Friday George established the first lumber mill. Due to difficulty hauling timber over the hill by oxen, George’s mill failed. The town gained a foothold in 1897 when George W. Scott and William VanArsdale founded McCloud River Railroad Company. The two men purchased many of the small failed mills, including the old Friday George mill, and renamed it McCloud River Lumber Company, turning McCloud into a lumber company town. continued on page 50

Ker-chunk, ker-chunk, ker-chunk. Z-z-z-zip, z-z-z-zip, z-zz-zip. These are the sounds you’ll hear as lumberjacks and jills gather under the shadow of Mt. Shasta to prove their skills in axe throwing and log sawing at The McCloud 66th Annual Lumberjack Fiesta. The Fiesta was formed in 1947 as a fundraiser for The McCloud Loggers, the town baseball team. Although the team no longer exists, the festival continues to support other local programs. “Each year we do an Easter egg hunt and at Christmas we put together gift bags for every child at the elementary school. If there’s a family experiencing a hardship, we help with that, too,” says Patricia Ballard-Faulkner, president of the McCloud Community Recreation Council and Fiesta coordinator.

In 1963, the mill, railroad and town were purchased by U.S. Plywood Company. Just two years later, U.S. Plywood transferred town properties to John W. Galbreath and Co., who helped the town transition to privatization. Over the years, McCloud has seen its share of ups and downs as companies tried and failed to keep the mill thriving. In 2002, the mill closed for good. But the mill’s closure didn’t erase this small mountain community’s memory of a once-booming timber industry or dampen its will to sustain itself. Each year, several volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours of their time to organize The Fiesta. Sponsored by the McCloud Community Recreation Council, this year’s event, held July 26-28, kicks off Friday night with the Lil’ Miss Fiesta and Lil’ Logger competition and dance contest. On Saturday morning, the day gets underway with a parade on Main Street. Afterward, at Hoo Hoo Park, kids show off their axe throwing and choker setting skills at the junior logging competition. Sunday brings the logging show and adult competition. “We do axe throwing, choker setting, single buck, double buck, jack and jill, and jill and jill crosscut,” says Ballard-Faulkner. Though popular culture depicts a lumberjack as a burly, bearded man dressed in plaid and work boots, many participants show up wearing shorts, tank tops and flip-flops. It wouldn’t be unheard of to witness a woman as big as a twig teaming up with a man with legs the size of the tree trunk they’re sawing in the jack and jill competition. Ballard-

Faulkner encourages young and old, big or small, newbie or pro to get involved. She says, “Don’t be shy. Everyone’s welcome to try.” The action-packed festival isn’t just for participants who want to show off their brawn. Plenty of food and drink, music and shade welcome those who want to kick back and watch the weekend unfold. Others can browse more than 30 vendor booths filled with unique arts and crafts. Kids have a chance to see who can gobble up the most summertime fruit at the watermelon-eating contest. Afterward, they can cool off and rinse away the sticky sweetness on the giant waterslide. Fiesta wouldn’t be complete without the Harold Benedict Memorial Horseshoe Tournament and Papa Anderson Memorial Softball Tournament, both named after beloved and missed community members. Tradition, sense of community and good old-fashioned competition draws a crowd of nearly 3,000 festivalgoers to the McCloud Annual Lumberjack Fiesta each summer. Remember, you don’t have to be a skilled logger to experience the thrill of splitting timber. If the ker-chunk and z-z-z-zip calls to you, grab a saw or an axe and make like a lumberjack. • mccloudchamber.com/lumberjack-fiesta

I smoothed out my dress—the only dress I owned—sat on my sweaty hands and waited for my name to be called. The category was Third Grade Poetry, Fourteen Lines and Over. My poem, “The Earth,” was 11 pairs of rhyming lines. I untied and retied the blue satin bow at the neckline of my dress as the list of Honorable Mention winners was announced. I tried to wipe the perpetual pencil smudge off the first two fingers of my right hand, graphite that was ground into my skin from hours of writing in the blank notebooks my mother always bought for my birthday and Christmas. She knew my first language was writing. I held my breath, hoping my name wouldn’t be part of the Honorable Mention list. It’s not that I thought I was too good for Honorable Mention. In fact, part of me hoped that I’d get an Honorable Mention because those kids didn’t have to go on stage to accept their award. God knows I didn’t want to go up on the stage. It was all about The Book—the Shasta County Literary Festival anthology containing all of the first-, second- and third-place pieces. To have my words in print, to see them bound in a book—that was the prize. That was what had me holding my breath and wiping my sweaty palms on the seat. When my name was called for a third-place award, I rose from my chair and prayed that I wouldn’t trip up the stairs. A man in a suit and tie shook my damp hand and placed a certificate in my other hand. I stood on the stage as the second and first place winners were called, but the only thing I could think of was The Book. There were stacks of them at the end of the stage and as we filed back to our seats, a woman in a floral dress handed me mine. It was the biggest book I’d ever seen outside of the giant Bible that sat on a shelf in our living room. Unlike the Bible that was hard bound in black with winding gold script on the front, the anthology was a Pepto Bismol-pink, soft-bound book. I carried it pressed against my chest feeling the heft of all those words. I smiled, knowing my 22 lines had added a page of weight.
Back in my seat, I flipped the book open to my poem and ran my fingers over my name. That night in bed, I read the other entries, marveling that I was chosen to be among these bold, unflinching young writers. For nights, I fell asleep under the weight of that book, my dreams filled with its stories. I went on to win many Literary Festival awards throughout my school career. I read each anthology until I practically knew every piece by heart and then I lovingly placed it on the shelf next to the pink anthology. Seeing my name and my words in print never lost its thrill for me. To be recognized as a writer, to run my fingers over my name on the page of a book—to this day, it makes my heart pound and, admittedly, still makes my palms sweat. Now I have the distinct pleasure of sitting on the board of directors for the Writers Forum. It’s with sheer joy that I will be presenting to
you this September the first of what we hope will be many winners of the Young Writers and Artists contest. Young writers, I know you by the pencil smudges on your fingers. I know the thrill of running your finger over your name in print and the divine pleasure of seeing your words published. I speak your first language. On behalf of Writers Forum and Enjoy magazine, I honor you and am proud to call you fellow writers. Writers Forum and Enjoy Magazine announce a call for submissions for students in grades K-12. The theme is “The Gift.” Students are encouraged to submit an essay (150-300 words) or one piece of artwork based on this theme. One essay and one piece of artwork will be featured in the December issue of Enjoy Magazine. The winner and runners-up will be featured on the Writers Forum website/newsletter, and the Enjoy Magazine website. One high school student with an interest in graphic design will be chosen to work with the editor of Enjoy Magazine to design the layout of the page. Winners and runners-up will be notified via email. • For submission guidelines and more information, visit www.reddingwritersforum.com or www.enjoymagazine.net

PremierE brand meats in the city of shasta lake When Roger Lawson bought a smokehouse in a foreclosure sale in Santa Rosa, it was the beginning of the end of his day job. A meat cutter who worked for every major grocery store in Humboldt County, Lawson says he began smoking and curing meats as a hobby. “I had no formal training and started out doing custom cutting and wrapping,” he says. After much experimentation, he decided to peddle his meats to shops around town. “I managed to find a small cluster of businesses—a market here, a bagel shop there—who wanted to say they had local, hand-crafted product,” says Lawson. A final affirmation came from the owner of the now defunct 5th & L Market in Eureka, a high-end niche grocery store, where Lawson was working at the time. “She wanted 1,500 pounds of corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day,” he remembers. “I told her I had never smoked continued on page 58

corned beef, but she was insistent.” The store sold every last ounce in just three days. The Humboldt Sausage Works, a retail business and processing plant, grew out of Lawson’s early successes. “When we started out, we were actually buying more of our deli meats commercially,” he says. “One by one, we went through them and re-created a healthier version in-house.” Eventually, the business outgrew its space and Lawson looked east to Shasta County for its new home. “We actually took a poll within the company as to how far people would move,” he adds. “We wanted to be closer to Interstate 5, and Redding had what we needed.” Along with his family, he relocated seven employees to Shasta Lake City in 2004 to a custom-built meat processing facility, closing the retail arm and renaming the business Premiere Brand Meats. With annual sales of $15 million, today Lawson buys between 25,000 and 35,000 pounds of turkey breast a week. The plant processes mostly cured and smoked cooked meats, which it sells to distributors that place it into grocery stores and delis stretching from San Diego to Alaska and Hawaii. “We’re in the choice markets, the stores that cater to quality product,” says Lawson. “We’re not the cheapest, but the best.” Shasta County locations include Tops Fresh and Holiday Markets, San Francisco Deli, Orchard Nutrition and Shasta College Food Services. Unlike many deli meats, Premiere Brand meats are not emulsified. “Our philosophy is ‘less is more,’” says Lawson. “Emulsified products are cheaper but may contain animal skin in addition to meat. We don’t do any re-structured product and none of it is water-added; it’s all muscle meats.”
58 | Enjoy JULY 2013
Although Premiere is a wholesaler, customers will occasionally direct purchase items they are having difficulty finding in the store (ham during the holidays, for example). “We have a handful of customers who have heard about us from a friend,” Lawson says. “We would really like people to go into their local grocery store and ask for our product.” Premiere also creates rubs and seasonings made-to-order. “Last week, we had a bunch of events and were out of tri-tip seasoning,” says John Luntey, general manager of San Francisco Deli in Redding. “They mixed it up for us the same day we called, and Roger dropped it off after work.” Luntey also uses Premiere’s meats, adding, “We compared the price and for the quality; it’s unmatched. It’s local and if we are out of something or have a special order, I can call them direct. You can’t always get product in a timely manner from a huge corporation.” Recognizing the importance of keeping current, Lawson enjoys the creative aspects of new product development. “We’re working on a line of all-natural products now, carrying meats that are produced from animals that from birth to slaughter never had anything added,” he says. “People are becoming more educated about food and not wanting a lot of additives, which is fortunate for us.” • www.premieremeats.com

Most Impressionistic ARTIST AROUND TOWN, SALLY MARBRY
It couldn’t have been more ordinary—just a humdrum old metal utility box that for years had occupied the sidewalk next to the Greyhound bus station. And then Sally Marbry got her hands on it. Now it’s a steamer trunk, a whimsical example of trompe-l’oeil painting and a perfect example of how art and beauty seem to follow the Redding resident wherever she goes. The idea to transform downtown utility boxes into public art exhibits sprang from Viva Downtown’s Design Committee, which Marbry chairs. In addition to the steamer trunk, Marbry turned a box in front of Union Bank of California into a safe, and another box at Pine and Placer streets is now a capricious nod to Redding’s aspiring theatre district. Marbry is an interior designer by vocation, but she is far from confined by walls, floors and ceilings. She’s a poet, a painter, a sculptor, a screenwriter, a teacher, a radio show host and whatever else her muse is apt to come up with at any given moment. “My life as an artist is a moving train of endless possibilities,” she says. “Every endeavor is totally different, requiring a new set of rules each time. I love the freedom to hit the art world running, with enough enthusiasm to pull in others to share and have a great time in the process.” continued on page 62
July 2013 ENJOY | 61
Others are indeed drawn in, including John Truitt, Viva Downtown’s executive director. “I am always astounded by her talent and her intelligence,” he says. “She really is a brilliant artist. What makes Sally such a great leader of the Viva Downtown Design team is that she is adept and versed in so many different artistic disciplines. “She’s not a one-trick pony; she doesn’t just paint or sculpt or limit herself to one thing. She really has mastered a wide range of art and technique. And this is what makes her so flexible, in that she can approach something by first considering the medium that will work best in any given place or situation.” Marbry says that flexibility and openness undoubtedly stems from her years of transforming old office buildings into livable artist lofts, a trend she pioneered in downtown Los Angeles from 1980 to 1985 and later in Seattle.
“Living my young adult years in lofts shaped my unconventional take on the space needed for a home. Shaping spaces for art-making finally led me to being an interior designer professionally. I strive to introduce beauty to people and point out what the world is showing them to inspire happiness and contentment,” she says. Marbry grew up in Seattle and earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of Washington before heading south to Laguna Beach, where she worked on her sculpting and exhibited works at the Pageant of the Masters and various galleries. After obtaining her master’s from Claremont Graduate University, she accepted teaching assignments at California State University, Los Angeles, and Pasadena City College. When rent on her Los Angeles loft tripled, she returned to Seattle, transformed another loft and shifted her focus to interior design, continued on page 64

earning a degree from the Seattle Art Institute and becoming a member of the Association Society of Interior Designers in the process. “Being a sculptor made it easy to tackle materials, scale, and the physical challenges needed to convince others to change,” says Marbry. “My passion to present artistic solutions, I hope, turns people on to the joy of balance and color, and, possibly, the fine art of an indirect message.” Marbry’s own interior design changed in Seattle when she met and married Robert Marbry. In search of drier weather and to be closer to Robert Marbry’s brother, the couple relocated to Redding eight years ago. Robert Marbry operates Polar Bear Pools, a pool cleaning and repair business. With local interior design commissions few and far between, Marbry began splitting her time between her Seattle-based clients and working to bring some beauty and color to downtown Redding. “It’s fun to teach and inspire others, and that’s where my Viva

Downtown Design Committee work comes in,” Marbry says. “One day I’m a sign painter and the next, I’m sewing curtains for someone.” Marbry is just as excited about helping others with their artistic visions, as fellow Viva Downtown design team member Ty Bos recently discovered. Bos, who operates Outlander Creative, Inc., an advertising agency, had an idea for a mural on the northern wall of the Glover Building on Placer Street. His design, a subtle row of diminishing streetlight silhouettes, was sparked to life in large part thanks to Marbry, who got the green light from Ward Gandy, the building’s owner, and even persuaded Gandy to donate the paint. “Sally is an amazing individual in the truest sense of the meaning,” Bos says. “She has traveled the world and landed, fortunately for us, here in Redding.”• Jon Lewis has been a writer for the past 31 years, working at newspapers in Woodland, Davis, Vacaville and Redding.

rancheria In the late 1800’s, the Auxiliary or Indian Women donated 275 acres as a “safe zone” for Indian people to escape persecution. Starting in 1890, the Bureau of Indian Affairs operated a non-reservation boarding school on the land, which for 40 years had tried to eliminate any trace of Maidu culture in young Tribal members. Many Maidu and other California Tribes are listed on the school’s rolls. The school survived until 1920 when it was destroyed by fire. The land was eventually converted to Greenville Rancheria status, and held in trust by the federal government for the Maidu people. The land, located in Greenville, CA, is sometimes referred to as the “Old Mission” site.

As a little girl, Marlene Meyers observed disabled people being left behind when families went to events. Her father explained that it was hard to load and unload the person into a car along with wheelchair and other necessary paraphernalia like oxygen tanks. She thought how unfair it was for them to miss out. Meyers never forgot those early images and her father’s sad assessment. Precious Cargo opened its van door to the first client in 2004.
Meyers began providing non-emergency transport to North State residents with one van. She took the calls, drove the van and managed the business. Today, she reports, the business is “growing in leaps and bounds” with a fleet of Mercedes and Ford vans outfitted with hydraulic wheelchair lifts, power gurneys and oxygen. A busy office of computer stations and phone lines takes calls while vans are cleaned and sanitized in the fleet yard in preparation for new assignments. continued on page 68 July 2013 ENJOY | 67
Precious Cargo contracts with several hospitals and care facilities in the North State to provide transportation for non-emergency medical care that includes cancer and dialysis treatments, physical therapy and doctor’s appointments. They also take calls and transport clients from private homes. They answer calls and provide transportation seven days a week, 24 hours a day. They have been called to provide transportation for disabled loved ones to holiday celebrations, reunions, weddings and anniversary parties. Precious Cargo will transport anywhere in Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada. Meyers loves what she does. She continues a very hands-on approach to her leadership, taking late night calls and driving the van when needed. She’s mapped out short- and long-range goals on a dry-erase board near the conference table where staff meetings take place amidst piles of tires and tools of the trade. She proudly points out state-ofthe-art equipment and well-maintained vehicles. Drivers all must maintain CPR and first aid certification and pass regular drug tests along with initial background checks. A few drivers are EMTs or paramedics. Their on-the-job training includes in-house certification in the use of all equipment. Each driver represents the company and the team. Her standards are high and she wants them to understand it is “a privilege to care for their precious cargo.” As with many businesses, partnerships support success. Meyers relies on her close relationships with several North State partners to maintain vehicles. She credits Gearan’s Automotive, O2 Motor

Sports, G&T Auto Electric and J&K Muffler in Redding, as well as Bob’s Tire in Red Bluff, for giving her vehicles priority treatment for preventive maintenance and repairs. “We’re here to be the best we can be to serve people,” shesays. Proud citizens, the Precious Cargo team can easily be spotted in red shirts and blue jackets with red, white and blue emblems, a conscious way to salute American heroes. Meyers has taken only one vacation since moving to the North State from Southern California. She does have one other passion, though: She belongs to the Corvette Club, and this year drove her 2013 Grand Sport Corvette convertible in the opening lap of Kool April Nights. Meyers learns something new from her clients every time she drives. Her only regret is “that I hadn’t met them earlier,” speaking of the interesting lives so many of her passengers share with her and her team when they meet. She brags about her staff, saying, “Our company would not be where it is today without the greatest team of employees. It is the teamwork that counts.” • (530) 243-3333

THE MONOPHONICS BRING THEIR psychedelic soul and funk TO CHICO
Funk music emerged when African American musicians invented a rhythmic, danceable form of music mixing soul music, jazz and rhythm and blues. It never has gone away, it simply evolves. A bit of the “old style” with a modern edge best describes the Monophonics, a six-piece Bay Area psychedelic soul and funk group. Formed in 2005, they played local clubs, eventually finding a home at San Francisco’s Boom Boom Room, continuing to hone their chops every Sunday as part of a year-long residency where their evolving style of sound and performance gained a huge following. After purchasing a vintage quarter-inch 8-track reelto-reel recorder, they began experimenting and recording with old-school effects such as the maestro phase shifter, space echo and Moog synthesizers in a converted studio and rehearsal continued on page 72

Next came their debut album, “Playin’ Simple,” and they took their music around the country, including annual trips to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. They built a following on the festival and jam band circuit. By 2010, Monophonics had released its second album, “Into The Infrasounds,” followed by the departure of their longtime keyboard player, who relocated to Brooklyn. After a few temporary musicians sat in, the band found the perfect replacement in East Bay producer, keyboardist and vocalist Kelly Finnigan of the hip-hop group Destruments. “When I joined,” Finnigan says, “I became the lead singer and front man. I had never had that role before. But I grew up watching my father (Mike Finnigan of the Phantom Blues Band) lead bands and sing, so I had lots of years of absorbing what that was like, which I know has helped. I had sung only a little bit before this band, and mostly in the studio, but the feedback has been more than I could ask for. Support and kind words from fans and friends has been very encouraging.” Finnigan’s creative input pushed Monophonics to switch gears with its music. “The band used to only do a couple of vocal tunes and now we are basically a vocal band that does a couple of instrumental tunes,” Finnigan says. “We went back to our roots and the roots of San Francisco and the Bay Area and the whole funk movement. Historically speaking, all of the band loves the classics, the Motown, Blue Note, Etta James, Jimi Hendrix. We are greatly influenced as a band by early Funkadelic records, Sly & The Family Stone, Isaac Hayes and The Norman Whitfield-produced Temptations records, but we

also love groups from that time period that flew under the radar like Black Merda, Mandrill, Baby Huey and David Axelrod. In terms of contemporary music, we love artists like The Bees, Tame Impala, all the Daptone records and Truth and Soul releases, the Black Keys.” The results of this mix can be heard on their latest album, “In Your Brain,” on Ubiquity Records. Says Finnigan, “People of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world are listening to it and finding out that it speaks to them on many different levels. We just played a show in Paris in front of a great crowd and lots of people were singing along with a handful of songs off the record. We have been experiencing this more and more around the world, which is one of the most flattering things to us.” Finnigan’s bandmates are Alex Baky (tenor and baritone saxophone, flute), Austin Bohlman (drums), Ian McDonald (electric guitar and electric sitar), Myles O’Mahony (electric bass) and Ryan Scott (trumpet). He adds, “Music will always reshape, revisit and find new avenues to explore, but it will always stay rooted in the past and play off the inspiration that has come from over 50 years of popular American music. I see funk and soul finding a balance between what will always be a classic sound and approach but also exploring endless possibilities. There are so many subgenres that the possibilities are huge.” Monophonics at the Sierra Nevada Big Room July 22, 7:30 pm.

The Koffee Klatch dates back to a postwar Redding of simpler times, when thoughts of a downtown mall hadn’t even materialized, and it continues to the present day. Like clockwork, its members meet each weekday morning at The SandWichery to ruminate on matters large and small. “We solve everything,” says retired banker Harry Grashoff, the self-appointed chairman. “If it’s a medical problem, we solve it. If it’s a political problem, we solve it. If it’s a science problem, we solve it.”
Balderdash, counters Dick Guiton, a retired contractor, selecting a barnyard euphemism that suggests Grashoff just may be a little full of himself. Grashoff, the Redding Bank of Commerce co-founder, smiles. After more than 30 years in attendance, he’s comfortable with the give and take. “If you take yourself too seriously, you’ll find out just how unserious Klatch really is,” says Randy Smith, a retired anesthesiologist who has been attending the morning sessions for about a dozen years. “They’ll put it in your face.” continued on page 76
July 2013 ENJOY | 75
In all seriousness, though, Smith says the informal Koffee Klatch provides a valuable service. “I have asked when I’m stymied with a problem or a political situation and I always get different advice from them that I wouldn’t think of otherwise. They might poke fun at you, but when you ask, you get very sound advice.” More recently, when longtime builder Ken Gifford’s battle with cancer was nearing its end, Smith says Gifford’s family members were having difficulty contacting the many people Gifford had worked with over the years. “They didn’t know how to get the word out. I went down to Klatch and told, and all of a sudden the word was all over town,” Smith says. The Koffee Klatch started in 1951, when downtown business owners began taking morning breaks for pie and coffee at the Woolworth’s counter. Topics of conversation typically centered on downtown issues, ways to make things better for customers and general gossip. Original members included Paul Bodenhamer, editor of the Record Searchlight, John Fitzpatrick, the owner of McColl’s Dairy, and C.M. Dicker, the owner of Dicker’s department store. Marvin Kause, general manager of the downtown Penney’s, helped keep the group together and others joined over time, including clothiers Nick and Joe Girimonte, and Lou Gerard, a car dealer. “Guys like Marvin kept it going and drew in people like Grashoff,
There are only two hardand-fast rules for the Koffee Klatch: it wraps up at 10 am on the button and the“winner” of the coin-flip ritual pays for the coffee. and Fitzpatrick ( John Fitzpatrick Jr.) and Gerard (Lou Gerard Jr). Over time it kind of became a retired guys’ get-together,” Smith says. “They had the time and wanted to stay involved.” Meetings moved from Woolworth’s to the Redding Hotel and then to the SandWichery, where they’ve stayed for the past 25 years. It’s such an institution now that a plaque on the wall commemorates Klatch members who have passed away. There are about 40 members, and on any given day, 12 to 25 will show up for coffee. Retired or not, the Klatch members still have a business sense about them, and it’s a great resource. Grashoff says about 90 percent of the members belong to one of Redding’s five Rotary Clubs, which makes it easier to exchange information on various projects and rustle up support. Smith, a member of the old-guard Redding Rotary Club, said the Klatch is a nice outlet. “At Rotary meetings, you really don’t have time
to sit and talk. Koffee Klatch provides a way to socialize and chitchat, and it’s nice knowing it will be there every day. It’s kind of a place to go down and see how everybody’s doing.” Grashoff says he appreciates the mix of members—doctors, insurance guys, bankers, the Girimonte brothers, Bob Dicker, Russ Duclos, Joe Tallerico—and notes with a smile that there are no attorneys and only one politician, former state Sen. Maurice Johannessen, who also served on the Redding City Council and the Shasta County Board of Supervisors. “They’ve all been in key positions at one place or another and they go deep into the foundations of Redding. If you have an issue, or need a recommendation, somebody is going to know somebody,” Grashoff says. “There are all kinds of collateral benefits,” agrees Smith. “Need a good painter? Want to know what the city council is going to do next week? It’s more than just a cup of coffee, that’s for sure.” There are only two hard-and-fast rules for the Koffee Klatch: it wraps up at 10 am on the button and the “winner” of the coin-flip ritual pays for the coffee. The coin-flip procedure is even spelled out on the back of a manila folder that’s as old as the group itself. Koffee Klatch members don’t skimp when it comes to taking care of their hosts, SandWichery owners Pat and Sandy Watson. For putting up with the daily hubbub, Klatch members chip in each year to send the couple on a little summer vacation and pass the hat each December for a Christmas donation. •

t h e b e auty o f blac k butt e Black Butte rests in guarded silence between its older cousins, Mount Eddy and Mount Shasta. Winter travelers on Interstate 5 remember the butte as the freeway climbs 3,900 feet over its base. When the cloud cover lowers, hiding its taller partners, vacationers mistake its 6,325-foot elevation for other peaks and stop to take pictures, not knowing Mount Shasta looms nearby behind the clouds. She rests at the top of the pass as if shielding the forests around her, waiting to tell the stories of the Strawberry Valley. continued on page 80
July 2013 ENJOY | 79
The plug cone formed in a time of intense volcanic activity, shortly after the smaller, north peak of Mount Shasta, Shastina, was created. The dacite lava, with the consistency of toothpaste, erupted four times, giving Black Butte its four-topped crown. A distinct rose-gray patina colors the steep rocky sides, giving the mountain a beauty different from its surroundings. In winter, she appears as an upsidedown ice cream cone, covered with powered sugar. She’s been called many names: Muir’s Peak, Muir’s Butte, Cone Mountain, Bear Butte. Her slopes are cut by a hiker’s trail, her silhouette a comforting shadow during the summer sunset. The focus of the most intense winter storms, drivers are reminded of her changing moods. On the lower western slope, a scar above Interstate 5 is visible. In 1926, Voil Richardson worked his steam shovel alongside the crew making Highway 99. While removing gravel for the roadway from the bottom of the mountain, he was buried in the landslide, which leaves its mark. Crews dug for six hours to find his body, and discovered huge boulders had made a cave over Richardson, who sat awaiting his rescue. He returned to work the next day. In 1931, a Forest Service Lookout Station was dedicated on the uppermost peak. A crowd of 152 hiked up the 2.5-mile trail. This included an 11-piece brass band, a 4-year-old and two people over 70. The vantage point became the summer home of lookouts, who for years would keep watch for fires. Pack mules and horses supplied the lookout, which needed 60 gallons of water a month. For a time, Jenny the mule did this job, going up and down on her own, with an apple given at the top for a reward.
80 | Enjoy JULY 2013
In 1962, a fierce Columbus Day storm buffeted the mountain. When it cleared, the peak looked different. The storm removed the roof from the lookout, requiring the building to be replaced. In 1973, the population growth of the area made the lookout unnecessary and it closed after 44 years of service. A helicopter came and removed the building, which today rests and is still in use at Hogback Peak by the Pit River. After the winter snows melt, Black Butte’s trail beckons day hikers to see the area from the grandeur of its peak. The trailhead is tricky to find, but the half-day hike and trail is worth the difficulty. Take the Central Mount Shasta exit from I-5 (Lake Street). Lake Street veers left onto Everett Memorial Highway. Continue north, crossing the railroad tracks. From the tracks, the turnoff is on the left, 1.7 miles. Follow the diamond arrow signs, avoiding less maintained side roads until you come to the circular parking area and trailhead. John Muir admired the Northern California mountains. As one looks at Black Butte and considers the oft overlooked peak, remember Muir’s words: Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn. •

parties with Punch
d a m s e l i n d e f e ns e pr o v i d e s s a f e ty o pt i o ns f o r w o m e n The accessories displayed on the hot pink and zebra-print tablecloths are cute, fun and fashionable. But if you mess with one of the ladies who’s got one in her hand, you’re going down. Damsel in Defense is modeled after the in-home kitchen and jewelry parties that have been popular for years, but the products pack a punch. With the mission of equipping, empowering and educating women, Damsel Pros host parties all over the country to sell products including stun guns, pepper sprays, alarms and more. Damsel in Defense was started in late 2011 by two Idaho women who had been sexually assaulted. “They didn’t want to carry guns because they had kids, but there really wasn’t much out there,” says Damsel Pro Sherry Iverson. But the need certainly exists: One in five women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime, and the odds are four times higher for college-age girls. continued on page 84 July 2013 ENJOY | 83
“ I refuse to not enjoy life and do the things I love to do because of fear…” Pepper sprays start at $10 and the button glows in the dark, making it easy to find on a nightstand or in a purse. Some fit onto a keychain. The spray itself is dyed, so the person who is sprayed can be identified by police under an ultraviolet light. Stun guns range in price from $40 to $60 and come in pink and black, carrying anywhere from 950,000 to 7.5 million volts. The Hot Lips is shaped like a lipstick, while Call Me Crazy looks like a cell phone; the rectangular Tiny Takedown and Pack A Punch fit nicely into one’s hand. All have built-in flashlights. Kelsey Burke, 19, bought a stun gun, pepper spray and kubotan at a recent party. “I don’t know self-defense, and this is a quick and easy way to defend yourself,” she says. Anna Champe, a mother of two, also bought a stun gun. “This isn’t like, ‘This is gonna sting a little.’ You’re in big trouble, Bub,” Champe says. “I’m a little worried about the increase in general overall assaults in our neighborhoods. I’d never given it a second thought before, but I’ve had my house and car broken into recently.” Megan Frost, who sells Damsel in Defense products, works in the court system and is all too aware of rising crime statistics. “I’m not opposed to people carrying concealed weapons, but I don’t feel like I personally want that responsibility,” Frost says. “Here’s something I can carry that’s non-lethal, and it’s not going to hurt kids like a gun would.” Parties also include plenty of safety tips, including not talking on your cell phone or texting while walking through a parking lot. “We’re really oblivious — we think we’re paying attention, but we’re not,” says Iverson. “You have your arms full of bags and a purse and kids, and you get caught off guard.”

Damsel Pro Vieva Lathrop recently did a party at the hospital where her 22-year-old daughter works, and was heartened when 45 people showed up. “I just love how women are feeling empowered by this,” Lathrop says. People need to be 18 or older to carry pepper spray or a stun gun, or age 16 with written parent permission, and it is a felony to use them on someone in a non-emergency situation. Damsel in Defense donates part of its profits to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. Frost loves knowing that she’s reclaimed her power. “I refuse to not enjoy life and do the things I love to do because of fear,” she says. “I’m not into vigilante justice, but as a woman with young kids, I feel like a target. We’ve been in parking lots and been approached by some shady characters, and now I feel a little better protected. My goal is that the next time a person goes to pickpocket or mug someone, that person turns around and stun-guns them or pepper sprays them. They’ll think twice about victimizing people.” • www.damselindefense.net

At 18 a friend and I decided I needed some ink. Now at 21 I’m rethinking that move. My friend was not a professional and the size and design is all-wrong for me now. While I thought I was stuck with it forever, my mom told me about Disappearing Act’s Tattoo Removal Laser. So far I’ve had three treatments, and I’m so happy that it is almost gone. I anticipate I’ll have two more treatments before it is totally gone. It hurts, but not as bad as I thought it would. I’ve had no scarring at all, and Dr. Kaplan, Kathy, & Julie are very caring and friendly. Thank you, Disappearing Act!

Me and You and Fido, Too
by Patrick John “ Dog Island Park in Red Bluff is great for humans, too. It offers trails, but also picnic/barbecue areas and access to fishing.”
As dog lovers, we often want to take our German Shepherd Sidonie along on outdoor summer adventures. Here in Redding, the Benton Dog Park, Sacramento River Trail and Clover Creek Preserve are all great dog zones, but after asking friends, family and other dog owners, we found a myriad of other trails and open spaces we can all discover with our fourlegged friends. Here are a few sites to try: Redding’s Lema Ranch Trails DO NOT allow dogs, but the Churn Creek Trails right next door in the Churn Creek Open Space do. Access the trails system by taking College View Drive to Tidmore Lane. The Blue Gravel Mine Trail that starts at the corner of Buenaventura and Placer in Redding (across from Fire Station 2) is also dogfriendly, paved and shaded for much of the way. The trail splits to allow different routes. Park in the Holiday Market shopping center and the crosswalk headed west takes you directly to the trailhead. West Redding also offers the Mary Lake trail and overlooking the lake are the Westside Trails, which are mostly shaded as well. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area allows leashed dogs for camping and on the hiking trails, but dogs are not permitted on any of the main swimming beaches or in the group picnic area. You can still find many areas to let Fido take a dip. Most areas of Mt. Shasta in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest are off limits to pooches, but the Gray Butte Trail near Panther Meadows and the Old Ski Bowl areas are dog friendly. The aptly named Dog Island Park in Red Bluff is great for humans, too. It offers trails, but also picnic/barbecue areas and access to fishing. Black Butte Lake in Orland offers trails, picnic areas and campsites. They also offer horse trails, so larger four-legged friends can tag along. If you’re feeling adventurous and have energy to spare, the nine-mile loop on the Feather Falls Trail pays off with an amazing view of the falls. Make sure you have good directions in advance; the parking lot at the trailhead was a little tough to find on the fly. As always, make sure you have doggie poop bags and water on hand. Consider the outdoor temperature because hot pavement/ground can burn your dog’s feet. Stay on the trails to avoid other animals (like snakes) and poison oak. Most areas require your dog to be on a leash, regardless of how friendly and well behaved they are. Dogs are scary creatures to many folks who have no way of knowing which pooches are/aren’t people friendly. Be considerate on trails; stop and have your dog sit next to you if others seem afraid and want to pass by. Here’s a great link to more than 30 of Redding’s trails: healthyshasta.org/maps.htm

WHAT’S COOKIN’

BY LANA GRANFORS
Why heat up the kitchen this summer? Get outside and fire up the grill for these great sliders and some poolside entertaining. They make the best appetizers or plan on them as a main entrée. There’s a twist in this salsa recipe…it’s made with shredded cabbage. Otherwise, pretty standard salsa ingredients. Basically, just replace the tomatoes for a huge head of cabbage and some radishes for extra crunch and some peperoncinis for flavor. A food processor is one way to go when making this salsa, but you can use a knife. It just takes a bit longer, but it lets you get the cabbage to the exact size you want. They will fly off the platter. Enjoy. 90 |Enjoy September 2012 90 Enjoy JULY 2013
Grilled Lamb Burger Sliders and Cabbage Salsa serves 8 to 10 BURGER ingredients 2 lbs good quality ground lamb (can use beef if preferred) 2 T minced garlic 1 T steak seasoning 2 T chopped fresh oregano leaves 3 T red onion, chopped small 2 T whole-grain mustard 8 – 10 slider rolls/small buns, halved 2 tsp softened butter or margarine 1 ½ T olive oil Cabbage Salsa, recipe below 8 frill picks 8 large pimento olives
CABBAGE SALSA ingredients 1 small onion, sliced thin then chopped 1 medium head cabbage, shredded 1 carrot, shredded 4 radishes, sliced thin 1 – 2 sliced jalapenos, remove seeds, depending on heat desired (optional) 1 cup cilantro, chopped, more if desired 3 T garlic, minced 2 Peperoncini, chopped, reserve liquid Juice of 2 limes ½ garlic powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper
PREPARATION For BURGERS 1 | In mixing bowl add the ground lamb, minced garlic, seasoning, oregano, red onion and
mustard. Mix the ingredients together gently. Do not overwork the meat as it will become tough. Form the mixture into mini burgers, approximately 2 ½ - 3 oz each, and put on a pan lined with waxed paper or parchment paper. Refrigerate for 5 – 10 minutes. 2 | Lightly spread buns with butter. Toast the buns on grill or in a large nonstick saute pan.
Remove the rolls to a platter. Grill lamb burgers or add oil the sauté pan, and when the oil is hot add the lamb burgers. Allow the burgers to caramelize, so do not move or flip them. Either way, let them cook for about 3 to 5 minutes each side, depending on your desired doneness. 3 | To assemble: Put the roll bottoms down first, place the lamb burger on it and then top with
a good serving of the Cabbage Salsa. Cover the burger with bun top and secure the roll with a frill pick skewered with an olive on top. Ready to enjoy! PREPARATION For CABBAGE SALSA 1 | Combine onion, cabbage, carrot and radishes and jalapenos. Mix together in a large bowl
and set aside. Rinse the cilantro well and dry (I use a salad spinner). Chop and measure one packed cup, more if you like. Place in medium bowl. Add the minced garlic, peperoncini with reserved liquid, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add to cabbage bowl and toss until mixture is coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. MAKES 6 CUPS; Prep: 20 minutes; TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

ENJOY: Tell us a little about the history of Orland Farmstead Creamery. Valerie: Paul Schmidt is the dairyman, and he’s had a dairy here in Orland for about 40 years. He’s a third-generation dairyman, and about 10 years ago, he started building this cheese processing plant. In 2011, I was teaching cheese making through the Chico Recreation Department, and he contacted me about teaching him how to make a mozzarella. In February 2012, we formed a partnership, and we’ve been really getting out to the restaurants, retail stores and farmers’ market, and we’re increasing our product line. Our sales have doubled in the past year, so that’s pretty exciting. ENJOY: What products are available at Enjoy the Store? Valerie: We have our fromage blanc, queso fresco, feta, feta with tomato, and queso fresco with jalapeno. We also have tortes, which are a layered cheese with flavor on the bottom, so when you flip the container over, the flavor is on the top. ENJOY: Who buys your products? Valerie: About 50 percent of our business is with restaurants, mostly in the Sacramento and Chico areas, along with Moonstone Bistro in Redding. We go to farmers’ markets in Napa and St. Helena, Auburn, Chico, Red Bluff, Redding and Anderson, and we’re going to start going to one in Nevada City. ENJOY: How are your products unique? Valerie: Our cows are all grass-fed on a pasture. We don’t use any hormones or steroids, and we use organic practices. If we don’t use all our milk in our cheese, we sell it to a co-op, and they sell it to Land O’ Lakes, which makes cheese with it — so if you’re going to buy cheddar cheese from Land O’ Lakes, chances are it has our milk in it, or milk from this area. Big
companies ultra-pasteurize and homogenize to increase the shelf life. We only pasteurize our milk to what the state requires to produce fresh cheese; we don’t homogenize or ultra-pasteurize. All of our cheese is made with whole milk, so it has a much richer flavor. ENJOY: Why is Orland an ideal place for a creamery like yours? Valerie: It’s such a central location — it’s easy to get to Interstate 5 and up to Redding or down to Sacramento. The cost of running a business in Orland is much less than it would be in Chico, but it’s still easy to have a large customer base there, to make deliveries and have contact with our customers. ENJOY: How many employees do you have? Valerie: Three — Paul runs the dairy, I primarily make the cheese, and we have an intern who is focusing on the farmers’ markets. Now that a lot of seasonal markets have started up, she’s running around Northern California at least five days a week. My family also helps us out — my middle daughter is going to Chico State to get her degree in agricultural business, and now that she’s out for the summer, she’s doing our sales calls and helping me with some of the bookkeeping. My oldest daughter has a degree in animal science from Chico State, so she’s taking the calves and bottle feeding them until they’re weaned. My youngest daughter is in high school, and during summer she helps us with packaging and helps with some farmers’ markets, as well. ENJOY: What is your philosophy? Valerie: We make really small batches so it’s always fresh. Our main concern is making the highest quality, freshest cheese possible for the consumer. www.orlandfarmstead.com

A MOVING ME MOR IAL A small forest of trees. • A living tribute, to many fallen. • Considering war, and the effects of war. • A place for reflection and remembrance. A place for healing and reconciliation. • Dedicated to all veterans. • A place for everyone.
Living Memorial Sculpture Garden
is situated on 136 acres of land provided by the USDA Forest Service, which were replanted with tens of thousands of trees by countless volunteers. The trees are living tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives in war. The LMSG was founded by a group of veterans in 1988. Today, the garden is proudly sponsored and maintained by the Kiwanis Club of Weed/Lake Shastina.
The Living Memorial Sculpture Garden is located about 13 miles northeast of Weed on Highway 97. It is 9/10 of a mile north of A12 (a county road) on the west side of 97 in Siskiyou County.
