Acts of Love… A super encouraging text from a friend, a romantic gesture from a true love, a big kiss from your precious child. How about taking it a step further and picking up trash in front of the business where you are, dropping some change in the parking meter of a random car? Acts of love can build a family and a community.

FEBRUARY 2014 What makes your heart beat faster? We're celebrating love this month, and we have plenty to share—and it doesn’t always look the way you'd expect. One North State woman finds her passion as a star jammer with Shasta Roller Derby. Some ambitious octogenarians find theirs behind the controls of an airplane. And a local artist’s heart races when he opens a new box of crayons. We'll tell you more about each of them in this issue. Traditionalists may tell you that Valentine’s Day isn’t complete without presenting a gift of chocolate to the one you love, and the guys behind Dick Taylor Chocolate stand ready to help you make that happen. These woodworkers-turned-chocolatiers are among fewer than 50 craft chocolate makers in the country, and their treats are available at their shop in Arcata, but also at Enjoy the Store. This month is all about affairs of the heart, and Dr. Douglas McConnell has made a career of keeping tickers in tip-top shape. You can learn more about him in this issue. Do you know what Carli and David Ray love (besides each other)? Redding, California. Their “Love Redding” movement is gaining traction and celebrating many of the things that we adore about our corner of the world. Looking for some quality time with your little loves? We’ve got some crafting ideas that are not only fun, but they’re a delightful way to ornament your home. Love comes in all shapes and sizes - we love our significant others, but also our children, our pets, our friends. We’ll share some of our readers’ love stories in these pages. To love!

Passion for Legacy C A R L I AND DAV I D R AY LOVE R EDD I NG Los Angeles may have Griffith Park and San Francisco Alcatraz, but Carli and David Ray believe Redding, with its natural and historic wonders, is the place to be. One summer day while driving around their beloved city, the two were inspired by an idea that married their passion for place with its unique features. “I told my husband, ‘We should have I Love Redding shirts available like the I Love New York shirts,’” says Carli. He agreed, and the two embarked on their loveredding.com adventure, with Carli leading the motivational charge and David providing the website and T-shirt design. First up: an original logo—a heart encapsulated by the letter R—and designs featuring local landmarks, including the Cascade Theatre. “We started with three shirts in August 2012 and the response has been amazing,” says Carli.4 continued on page 12

Although they began with her husband’s drawings, within a few months they were contracting with local artists. In 2012, featured guest artist Tricia Kibler designed a rooster with paisley feathers embedded with the words “Love Redding.” More recently, Morgan Treat’s smart trademark design, “The City of Redding, CA., EST. 1887,” on a unisex hoodie has been flying off the shelves. Each design is available as a single color and style in various sizes. “We hope to add two to three new designs a year to the collection,” says Carli. “It’s important to get someone who is passionate about their art and the object or landmark they are designing.” Artists earn a portion of the shirt sales for their design, and the Rays like the idea of promoting local talent. Business proceeds also support a local charity, The Garden of Hope, which according to the Rays, provides about 10,000 pounds of organic produce annually to help neighbors in need. “As our business matures, we’d like to have a Love Redding workday and partner with them for other community events,” adds Carli. After initial seed money from family members and friends launched the project, loveredding.com has quickly become self-sustaining. “We recovered our costs,” says Carlli, “but we have never looked at it as, ‘We’re going to quit our day jobs.’ This is for our passion and our pleasure.” T-shirts are available online through the website, at Enjoy The Store and a few local markets and bazaars. Carli expects new designs in time for the Roses & Rust spring show and has plans to design for children. “Redding is a community so willing to pass on its legacy,” says Carli. “We have our own little community culture here and we are so proud of it.” Sufficiently proud to brand it on one shirt at a time. • www.loveredding.com

Close your eyes and pull up that childhood memory of opening a brand new 64-pack of Crayola crayons. There’s the gentle tension as you fold the cardboard cover back for the first time. Then a rush of smell—the waxy potential of all those glorious colors! You may have sniffed a few to see if Atomic Tangerine was distinct from Raw Umber or Salmon. And then there was that ultimate decision: Which would you dull first? It may not have been your favorite color, for there was beauty it keeping that one new for as long as possible. Even with the sharpener on the back of the box, there would never be the same tip to your crayon once you started coloring with it. You would want to honor the color by using it on a really special project. Now imagine being a young boy with a passion for art. Your parents have saved up to send you to a well-known art teacher in Long Beach, where you are growing up. You tell her you want to work in oils. She tells you that you will, but for the next two years you’ll be working in pencil and crayon. She instructs you to bring a 64-box of crayons and a shoebox to your next lesson. You do. As you hand over the almost sacred treasure, she promptly begins breaking each brand new, sharply tipped, perfectly wrapped crayon in half. The pieces get tossed into the shoe box. “Maybe if you try hard enough you can make the crayons look like oil paint,” she says.4 continued on page 16

You are initially crushed, but you soldier on and take up the challenge. You are an artist, after all. Eventually you discover photography and put your efforts there. This is how the early artistic experience of Glen Donley played out, and how he eventually came to be known as “The Crayon Guy” of Lake Almanor. After a 34-year career with Southern California Edison, Donley and his wife, Kathy, moved to their retirement home from their home in Walnut, near Anaheim. They had vacationed in Lake Almanor for years once Donley discovered its beauty on work trips researching the PG&E campgrounds there. In 2007, as they awaited completion of their new home, the Donleys found themselves in their travel trailer on Lake Almanor on a snowy evening. It was a quiet, peaceful time and Donley experienced a memory of his childhood art lessons. He found a small box of crayons and began working on a new piece. “It became a kind of challenge,” he says. “To take crayons—regular, ordinary crayons—and bring them to a fine art level is tedious and difficult to do,” he says. Yet it is a skill he has mastered, much to the delight of those who come into contact with his work. Today, with many pieces completed and several on regular exhibit at the Blue Goose Gallery in Chester, Donley derives his greatest joy from his work in the reactions of people discovering his use of crayon. “I enjoy watching people look at my pictures and try to guess the medium,” he says. “And they don’t guess it.” Part of the confusion comes from not only how finely detailed each piece is, but how the colors Donley manages to create often don’t look anything like what is found in a box of crayons. He has developed a way

to layer and mix colors that create the exact color he needs in any given area of his canvas. “Crayon is a true test,” he says. “It’s unforgiving, somewhat like watercolors.” “I like making it as close as I can to a unique, fine art,” says Donley. He tends to work late into the night on his pieces, which require just a piece of paper and a box of crayons. The sharpener on the crayon box is the one he prefers. “I think my favorite place to draw is in my easy chair with a lap board,” he says. “I like to sit where my wife is.” By day, Donley is actively involved in the success of the Blue Goose Gallery, where his work can be found and where he finds camaraderie with other artists. While Donley appreciates the simplicity of his medium, and the fact that it’s so readily available to anyone, he says his technique may not be for everyone. “Whether it’s for kids or adults, it’s not for someone who likes instant gratification.” Still, he says, “Even now, everyone likes a brand new box of crayons, right?” • www.glenscrayonart.com www.bluegoosegallery.net

Like many others, Donald Ferreira enjoys getting out early on summer days and enjoying the countryside before it gets too hot. Rather than go for a walk, however, the Red Bluff resident takes to the sky. “I like to get up early in the summer, jump in the plane and fly very low, next to the canyons. It’s very relaxing,” Ferreira says. Ferreira, a retired electrical engineer, is 82, and he’s two years into his membership of the United Flying Octogenarians, an international organization of people who have piloted aircraft on their 80th birthday or beyond. Ferreira’s only concession to his advancing years has been to downgrade his plane from a sporty Van’s RV-4 to a slightly more sedate homebuilt Summit from Just Aircraft. In a flying career that stretches back to 1946, Ferreira has been at the controls of everything from a glider to a modified B-29 Superfortress. Jack Kilpatrick, 85, is another UFO member and he can trace his fascination with flying all the way back to his childhood. As a boy, when he wasn’t scanning the skies for planes, he was up to his elbows in glue, fabric and wood, carefully assembling airplane models. His favorite was the SPAD, the French-made biplane that American World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker made famous.4 continued on page 20 February 2014 ENJOY | 19

As an adult, Kilpatrick owns (and flies) a replica SPAD that he built himself over a span of 12 years. Assembled and painted in such painstaking detail that Kilpatrick says Rickenbacker himself wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, the plane tells a different story in the air. “It’s not very sweet. How in the hell we won a war in this thing I’ll never know. It’s 99 percent romance and 1 percent airplane,” Kilpatrick says. His other four planes include a twin-engine Piper Aerostar with a pressurized cabin that can comfortably carry six at an altitude of 20,000 feet elevation and an Aero L-29, a demilitarized Russian jet. Of the Czech-built trainer, he says: “I use it if I really want to have fun. It’s fun to fly and you can do anything you’ve got the guts enough to try, but it’s hungry—very, very hungry. It burns a lot of fuel. I’m crazy. I like airplanes. It’s the only way I can explain it,” says Kilpatrick, who owns the Redding Jet Center at Redding Municipal Airport. Kilpatrick may be crazy about airplanes, but he’s physically fit enough to continue flying them, according to Redding resident William Baker, a UFO member and a FAA-certified flight surgeon who routinely conducts mandatory flight physicals on North State pilots. Baker, 88, began his aviation career in the Army Air Corps flight school during World War II, training in B-24s before moving on to B-29s at the Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico. After the war, he earned his bachelor’s degree and then was recalled to the Korean War, where he flew 146 missions as a “bird dog” in liaison airplanes. Baker says his job was to spot artillery, direct fire, mark targets for jet bombers, protect ground troops and avoid enemy fire. He was awarded four air medals for his service and admitted to the Quiet Birdmen, a secretive society of military and general aviators who have logged 500 or more hours of flight time. Past members include Charles Lindbergh and Gen. Jimmy Doolittle. Baker continued to fly as a civilian, through medical school at UC Irvine and a medical practice with stints in Southern California and Mount Shasta. The proud owner of the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award—presented to pilots who log 50 years of accident-free flying— Baker has owned a variety of planes and currently pilots a late-’40s Ercoup. 20 | Enjoy february 2014

Jack Kilpatric, 81, another Redding pilot, made his UFO membership official with a qualifying flight on his 80th birthday. His started flying lessons in 1966, took a break to run a business, and got his pilot’s license in 1978. He’s a recreational flier with close to 1,500 hours of flight time, including 500 hours on Civil Air Patrol missions. “I love doing it. Some people like to hunt or fish—I’m like that with flying,” says Kilpatric, the part-owner of a Piper Cherokee 180. Flying is recreational as well for 81-year-old Richard Wilkinson, who picked up the habit in 2006 after flying in his cousin’s Glastar homebuilt. “I said, ‘Teach me how to land in case something happens,’ and I did my first unassisted landing in Prineville, Ore., after three hours of training,” Wilkinson says. On the ground, Wilkinson is well known for the elaborate Christmas decorations and Salvation Army kettles he sets up at his Barrel Court home in Redding. In the air, he says he flies for the fun of it. In addition to UFO, he’s part of Fly Thursday, a group of North State pilots who select various airports for weekly fly-in luncheons. There are about 1,500 members of UFO in the country, with retirement-friendly California and Florida enjoying the largest memberships, according to Charlie Lopez, 86, the Miami-based vice president of public relations for the organization. What motivates those octogenarians to continue flying? “Ninetynine percent will say it’s the feeling of freedom you get. It’s a genuine feeling of being above everything. All the big problems on Earth just don’t seem to be there anymore. The freedom, the exhilaration, is one of the big feelings of flying.” • www.unitedflyingoctogenarians.org

T HE WAT E R S HED R E S EA R C H & T R A I N I NG C EN T E R

Lynn Jungwirth was inspired by the challenges her community faced. It was 1993, and in the rural town of Hayfork, the lumber mill had closed and the economy closed with it, leaving 40 percent of the town unemployed and without any prospects. Hayfork had been a logging town for decades, and legislation to protect the spotted owl brought logging to a halt.

In Hayfork, poverty was common and times were hard. “It broke my heart,” Jungwirth says of the town’s struggle. Surveying the people in her community, her friends, her neighbors and the children growing up there, Jungwirth decided to do something to help. “I said to my husband Jim, ‘I don’t know what we are going to do, but whatever we do, it has to be something that will help this town and help our children know that we have something to offer them.’”

Starting with only her determination and the belief that things could be better, Jungwirth reached out to community members and local organizations and started a program to re-train loggers to do forestry work. From this idea came The Watershed Research and Training Center, an organization with a history of innovation that pioneered community forestry in Northern California and helped change forest management policy at a state and federal level.4 continued on page 24

February 2014 ENJOY | 23

Now, 20 years later, The Watershed Center has programs for forest management, wetland restoration, prescribed fire, programs helping to develop biomass and solar energy, value-added manufacturing, youth outreach and job training, and many of the programs are designed to create local jobs.

Jungwirth reached out to community members and local organizations and started a program to re-train loggers to do forestry work Josh Smith, Watershed and Fisheries Restoration Program Manager, teaches kids about soil and the ecosystem

Through all this growth, the work of the Watershed Center has kept the thread of community. “We maintain that core vision that we’re going to reconnect our community and our workers to the land,” says Executive Director Nick Goulette. “We want to play a role in making sure that local people are trained, that they have access to the jobs that are created, and that they are good, long-term, living-wage jobs.” This means that a lot of people are working to keep Northern California forests vital and to help protect homes from fires. It means that 38 Hayfork locals had forestry work jobs this year, at wages that support their families. It means that local kids get job experience, learn about ecology and go outside. And it all happens because people want to help a place they love. “It’s about home,” says Michelle Medley-Daniel, a program manager for the Watershed Center who was born and raised in Hayfork. “For me this work is about making our home a better place.” What’s special about the crew at The Watershed Center is how passionate they still are about their work, even those who have been there from the start. When asked what keeps them inspired, members of the center mention the people they collaborate with, especially each other. “It’s the people, people like Nick and Michelle,” Jungwirth says, referring to Goulette and Medley-Daniel. “People do their work from a good place in their hearts, and so there’s a lot of goodwill out there. I’ve made a lot of friendships.” Twenty years of work, dedication and caring all started with one person’s decision to help. And each person along the way who decided to help too, in a little or big way, helped move it all forward. •

Mommy Messages

Iove being a mom. I am a nurturer. I love a noisy house full of children’s pitter patter feet and laughter. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than having children and watching them grow, explore and learn. Even though I already have three children, there is always more to learn. Information and knowledge are empowering. That’s why, with this pregnancy, I signed up for “text4baby.” First 5 Shasta encourages new or expectant mothers like me to use the free text4baby service. The text4baby service helps with so many aspects of pregnancy and child care - it covers everything from fun facts about baby development to information about health care and beyond. I am constantly looking for the best options to help my children be the best they can be, mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Getting a little text4baby support helps me give my best to my children and my baby. I can find it overwhelming to hear everyone’s experiences and approaches to taking care of children. Each child is vastly different from the next. I believe it is important to take all the information you can gather and figure out the approach that is best for your child and your family.

Sarah Nichols

Wife to Kevin; proud mommy to Emma (10), Ethan (4), Eva (2) and Baby (0) To sign up for text4baby, simply text “BABY” (or “BEBE” for Spanish) to 511411 and follow the simple instructions. You don’t need to have a texting plan to receive the free messages, which are tailored to the participant’s stage in pregnancy or baby’s age.

First 5 Shasta is building a pathway to success for young children. As stewards of Proposition 10 tobacco tax revenues, they invest over $1 million each year in quality programs, services, and activities that better the lives of Shasta County’s youngest residents.

d ick tay lo r ’ s r o m a n c e w it h c h o co l at e Take two carpenters with a ken for craft, add the finest cacao and cane sugar available and a laundry room in which to experiment, and you have the beginning of Dick Taylor Chocolate. But how did two woodworking artisans go from making cabinetry and restoring boats to making chocolate? “We really loved carpentry, but like a lot of young carpenters, we were working predominantly under the table while working in residential construction by day,” says chocolate maker Adam Dick. “Once we started having families and looking long term, we realized we didn’t want to be contractors with broken bodies; we wanted to be craftsmen.”

Seeing an opportunity to transfer skills, Dick and partner Dustin Taylor began researching what American chocolate makers were doing after a friend made the suggestion. “We were love struck by the romance of it all—working with the raw and earthy cocoa beans and the machinery to turn the beans into chocolate,” says Dick. “Some saw it as a leap, but in our minds it’s not unlike carpentry, where you take a raw ingredient (wood) and turn it into something finely crafted in the end.“ Located in Arcata, Dick Taylor Chocolate is one of fewer than 50 craft chocolate makers in the United States. “This is not your assemblyline chocolate,” says Dick. “We’re producing largely by hand4 continued on page 28 February 2014 ENJOY | 27

in a small batch style rather than a continuous process style.” Bean quality is key for chocolates using only cacao and cane sugar. “Because we only have those two ingredients, there’s nothing to mask a poor flavor in the bean,” says Dick. “To produce a chocolate that is unique and delicious with a lot of character and flavor nuances, we are required to use the finest flavor-grade beans we can find.” The company has put Belizean cacao beans on the map. Last year it won a bronze award at the Northwest Chocolate Festival for its 72 percent Belize, Toledo bar. “It’s the first time a bean from Belize has won an international chocolate competition,” says Dick. “Just prior to Thanksgiving, that same bar was announced as a Finalist in the 2014 Good Food Awards.” Dick and Taylor use a precise methodology to create their chocolate. Before roasting, they hand-sort the beans and assign a unique roast profile to each bean type, which Dick says is a first critical step in flavor development. Unlike coffee beans, cacao beans are roasted at lower temperatures for longer periods of time. The outside husk is winnowed away using an air flow process that preserves the heavier nib (containing cacao butter), which is ground into a smooth chocolate paste called liquor. The chocolate makers weigh the sugar and liquor to determine the final ratio for a particular bar. “We mill the chocolate to reduce the sugar crystals so when eating there’s no residual ‘gritty’ feeling in the mouth,” says Dick. Once the chocolate is smooth, a final flavor development stage referred to as conching moderates acidity and any tannic or astringent flavors. “This involves aggressive kneading of the chocolate,” says Dick. “The process helps to take off the peaks and fill in the valleys for a smooth and uniform flavor.” Finally, the chocolate is tempered and molded before being packaged and distributed to specialty locations around the world, including Amsterdam, Belgium and the United Kingdom. Although Dick Taylor Chocolate manufactures mostly singleorigin dark specialty chocolate bars, coconut, figs and sea salt are added to some. Valentine’s Day specialty items include truffles, bourbon-infused chocolate figs, honey-vanilla caramels and singleorigin drinking chocolate. The two craftsmen have immortalized their love of shipbuilding and its history in Northern California onto the wrapper enfolding every bar. “Many of the ships that sailed the coast—particularly the lumber schooners—were built on Humboldt Bay,” says Dick. “The wrapper speaks to our early love of carpentry. To build a three-dimensional boat is a pinnacle of craftsmanship and skill.” Many would say the same about making an exquisite bar of chocolate.

n it y y a n d c o mm u b r e D r o f e v o h a rt e r ’ s lo Am a n d a Wi g n On any given weekday, the only indication of Amanda Wigno Harter’s weekend occupation may be a vestige of leopard print polish on her well-manicured nails. Most who know her as the event coordinator of marketing and communications at College Options may have no idea that the mild-mannered 27-year-old has quite the reputation as Swift D. Mize, a star jammer with Shasta Roller Derby. Always an athlete, Harter came upon roller derby at a memorial service for her husband Austin’s good friend, Cori Fulkerson. Known as Princess Slaya in the derby world, Fulkerson had been a Redding Roller Girl. At a memorial bout in her honor, Harter found what would become a passion. “The second I sat down to watch it I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I want to do this,’” she says. Six months after the memorial, the Shasta Roller Derby club formed with a schedule that meshed with Harter’s work and community commitments. “I went out and tried it and fell in love immediately,” she says. Despite having a larger frame than most in her position, Harter found her place as a jammer. That’s the position that scores points by literally jamming ahead of her opponents. And earned her the name Swift D. Mize. “You never know what’s going to make a good derby girl,” says Harter. For her, an important aspect of the game is the constant interplay between offense and defense. She just finished up a year as captain of the Shasta Roller Derby’s A Team, where she focused on developing the skills and strategies of her skaters. As she moves into a new year of skating, she is focused more on the development of the team’s organization by serving as chair of its board. “Our league is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,” says Harter. “It’s important that we give back.”

Giving back comes naturally to the skater, who is on the leadership team of Expect More Tehama. “My mom’s a teacher so I grew up understanding the importance of education,” she says. “Expect More Tehama is a community driven effort that recognizes that higher education affects so many aspects of our community.” Combining the philosophy of Expect More Tehama with the entry into her husband’s family through a summer marriage, Harter has become the scholarship coordinator for the Redding Emblem Club. “Austin’s family has always been involved in Emblem Club,” she laughs. “(The position) was a rite of passage into the family.” Harter has also taken her leadership skills to the board of the State Theatre for the Arts, which recently had a mortgage-burning party for the historical building that is a fixture of downtown Red Bluff.4 continued on page 32 February 2014 ENJOY | 31

“I danced on that stage when I was younger and I sang on that stage when I was in high school. It was really exciting to think about the theater being community owned and being part of those changes,” she says of her decision to join the board at the critical juncture of moving from private to community ownership. While Harter has deep roots in Tehama County, she found herself challenged when she took a job in Redding and had to develop a wider network of contacts. Having enjoyed the training of the Great Valley Center’s Institute for Development of Emerging Area Leaders, she sought out the same in Leadership Redding. “There’s so much positive energy there,” she says. “I enjoy getting to know the North State better.” While she says, “I never really had that urge that I had to get out of Red Bluff that some people did,” she has always had a passion for travel. She participated in two study abroad programs while at Westmont College in Santa Barbara and took a remarkable trek through Ireland, Scotland and Italy with her mom. Her derby skills recently gave her an opportunity to compete at a national level in Tulsa, Okla., as part of a regional pick-up all-star team called Suburban Legends. “For a team that had never played together before regionals, and for a group of girls that doesn’t usually play by this rule set, we did OK,” she says of her placing with the U.S. Association of Roller Sports. Harter has achieved a rare combination of work, community and personal achievement that makes North State living so appealing to a young professional. As she moves forward in support of young people seeking higher education, she plans to pass on what she has been given. “It’s about connecting people with their passions,” she says. •

Literary work a f o c u s o n r e a d i n g i n t h e n o rt h stat e

The Big Read just may be the best kept secret in Tehama County this year. But it is a secret the Tehama County Arts Council eagerly wants to share across field and stream, over hill and dale. “I’ve always been envious of other communities that have books in common,” says Melissa Mendonca, chair of the art council’s board. “It provides a great opportunity for people to gather in conversation around a literary work.” Created by the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, The Big Read was designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture and encourage reading for pleasure and enlightenment. The grant-funded program, begun as a pilot in 2006 with only 10 participating communities, has since awarded more than 1,100 grants totaling $15 million throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Non-profit grantees ranging from arts, educational and scientific organizations to libraries, foundations and even municipalities receive between $2,500 and $20,000 to purchase reading materials and sponsor events. “You can’t pick just any book—grantees choose from among the 30 listed on The Big Read website,” says Mendonca. “We selected Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich because she is a native person and because we have a partnership with the Rolling Hills Community Foundation, which helped fund the opening of our Green Room Studio,” an arts and performance space the council also uses for classes. A collaborative Readers Circle of writers, scholars, librarians, critics, artists and publishing professionals initially created The Big Read library. A reading committee vets new titles according to diversity of genre as well as diversity and stature of authors. A primary focus is contemporary works by living authors. “Erdrich’s book is lofty, but it really is aimed at the general community,” says Mendonca, who had read the book in college and remembered its impact. Through the grant, the Tehama County Arts Council purchased 150 copies for the Tehama County Library, another project partner. The library and local businesses will hold book discussions throughout the spring. “We began last October with a Proclamation of The Big Read in Tehama County at both the city of Corning and city of Red Bluff council meetings and at the county Board of Supervisors meeting,” says Mendonca. Since then, the arts council has sponsored a few book discussions and events, but Mendonca believes the best is yet to come.

“This month will find us deep in book discussions and activities,” she says. “People have the opportunity to either join an existing discussion or form their own. And if they’d like to do the latter, they need to contact us via email and we will make sure they get all the support materials—the audio guide, reader’s guide and bookmarks so they have all the materials they need to have a vibrant discussion.” The council plans to host art classes at its Green Room Studio throughout the spring and also offer a series of workshops on writing memoir and legacy, since the book focuses on family stories from a multi-generational perspective. “We’re encouraging people to join a book club or the library’s book club to meet someone new,” says Mendonca. “The idea is to create community through literature.” •

S M ALL TOWN I N K , M T. S HA S TA Inside Small Town Ink, it’s bright. The dark hardwood floors are contrasted with bright colored walls, as an upbeat rock song plays in the background. The two-story building in Mount Shasta is reminiscent of a brownstone, belonging to a bigger city and street. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. The hum of a small machine stops as John Uttech steps out from the back room, with a gentle smile and voice, welcoming his customers to his tattoo parlor. Uttech is an artist. His mother still keeps his drawings from when he was 5. His talent emerged in middle school when he won a contest sponsored by Hallmark, for his design of a Mother’s Day card. “I grew up in a tight-knit community, much like Mount Shasta. I’m a small town guy,” Uttech says. “Though I’m a social butterfly. I love people.”

With talents waiting to be unleashed, his parents hired a private art teacher, who helped Uttech explore many artistic mediums. In high school, his creativity sparked and he made plans to become a high school art teacher. He began his course of study at Western Washington University. “But life had other plans,” Uttech says. “I moved to Southern California and began to look for direction.” An artist friend saw his work and invited him to consider working for him. “He asked me if I ever considered doing tattoos,” Uttech says. Wanting to learn yet another angle to his artistic craft, he took up his friend’s offer in August 2001 and has never stopped. “I love it so much, I can’t see myself not doing it.”4 continued on page 40 February 2014 ENJOY | 39

"Tattoos are one the highest forms of self-expression,"

Small Town Ink is a place where the community comes. “While most people’s image is that my customers are all 18-year-old rebels, I’m honored to work with doctors, school teachers and even a mayor.” The clientele is a list of heroes. Firefighters come to receive marks of their profession. Marines who fought at the battle of Fallujah ask to have memorials to their fallen comrades. Tattoos become the markers of great deeds and the reminders of amazing people. The work of Small Town Ink is also redemptive. “Tattoos can bring healing,” Uttech says. “I’m privileged to hear a soldier’s story, the meaning of a life of a child and the struggles which just come with life. It has helped me see the world in a different light.” A cancer survivor has her eyebrows restored, which never came back after chemotherapy. One mother asked for a portrait of her lost son. “I learned a lot of her perseverance, of what it meant to mourn. It was awesome to see how my artistic ability could help her heal.” For some the ink is fun: skulls for men; butterflies and hearts for women. “Tattoos are one the highest forms of self-expression,” Uttech says. “It’s a form of art people collect on their skin, instead of on the wall of their house. I always look with wonder as people leave, feeling 40 | Enjoy february 2014

more beautiful, positive and sure of themselves.” His art takes him many places. “I’ve been on an episode of Monster Garage, giving tattoos to those guys working on the cars, and I’ve shared moments of transformation with people.” He holds the highest of standards, using all disposable needles and tubing, keeping his shop as clean as a doctor’s office. Each person is treated uniquely and is given an experience fitting their situation. At night, Uttech leaves his business. The black 1960 Chevy Biscayne, with child safety seat strapped in the back, is the same model as a car in the Kennedy motorcade in Dallas, Texas, in November 1963. Like the people he touches, the car represents the grace and redemption of Uttech’s hands. He reflects as he leaves for home, “I’ve been blessed.” • 407 S Mount Shasta Blvd Ste 3, Mount Shasta • (530) 926-4465

r e d n e T e m e ov Love Stories

Stories compiled by Kimberly Bonéy

Love (lŭv): noun: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

The term “love story” often invokes the thought of a classic romance between two people —that all-encompassing, love-tune-swirling-in-your-head kind of love. But love comes in many forms, and from many types of relationships. Love shines brightly in times of joy. It bears the weight of life’s most difficult circumstances and somehow emerges even more radiant through it all. We asked some North State residents to share their love stories with us. Our hearts were enchanted with their responses. We hope yours will be, too.

Sarah & Isaac: Love shared between a mother and child I was blessed with my “happy accident” in July of 2010, and since then, my life has found meaning. One thing that has kept me strong and has forced me to carry on is my little Isaac. He is my reason for breathing, the reason I have slaved over the last years to earn my bachelor’s degree — so I can provide him with a promising future. Without him, I am incomplete. He is my purpose and my whole heart. He inspires me to be better and gives me the strength I need to push a little harder to achieve my dreams. Because of him, I am fulfilled and truly know love.4 continued on page 44

Jim and Francis: Long-term love In 1958, after attending classes at Shasta College, I would head home in the afternoon to watch a show on TV called Northern California Bandstand. It took place right here in Redding and featured all local talent. The show came on just before American Bandstand. It began with a young couple dancing. The young girl had long blond hair. Over a period of time, I became very interested in the blonde on TV. “Someday I will meet her and there could be a chance she will be your daughter-in-law,” I said to my dad. One night, I was parked at the U Name Us drive-in restaurant in North Redding with a friend. I happened to look in the rear view mirror, and in the car behind me was the blonde from Northern California Bandstand! It was love at first sight for me. Her name was Francis. I called her the next day and asked her out. She accepted. While we were going out, Francis became a Damboree Princess and also first runner-up for Miss Shasta County in 1959. She was even Bing Crosby’s escort for Burney Basin Days and we survived that! On August 5, 1959, while driving down Court Street, I stopped in front of the courthouse. She asked why I had stopped, and I said, “I am asking you to go steady and I want it to be legal, so here we are at the courthouse.” In 1960, while visiting her parents’ home, I pulled out a diamond ring and asked her to marry me. She said yes. I moved to Stockton and Los Angeles to pursue a career in radio and TV. We maintained our engagement during that time. In 1962, I returned to Redding and we were married on August 5, the anniversary of the date we decided to go steady. The friend who was in the car with me on the day we met at the drive-in restaurant was our best man. Over the last 51 years, we have worked together and raised three sons. We now have 10 grandchildren.

Angelica & Chauncey: Puppy love by Dana Cortez When Angelica laid eyes on that precious little dog nearly 17 years ago, her heart was his forever. And his heart was hers, too. They bestowed upon each other love, devotion and companionship that endured everything. Their greatest heartbreak was separation from each other. Nothing was right until they were together. And no sacrifice was too great. He endured countless hours by her side while she worked from home and he spent days and sometimes weeks on end missing her while she traveled for business. During his final moments, she never slept or rested while caring for him. A true love is transcendent and that is exactly what Angelica and Chauncey shared.

Linda & Mike: Online love Mike and I met on Match.com. I always say, “He gets everything online, even me!” We first met in person at Black Bear Diner in Redding. I knew I was in love a few months into the relationship. He was pretty much what I had asked God to send me. I had a checklist. Of course, the Harley helped a great deal. Our love for each other has truly grown over the years. We read each other’s minds and we can often finish each other’s sentences. Plus, we have our child, Scooter, who looks a lot like her daddy.4 continued on page 46

Sweet Valentine

Stephanie & Joel: First Love Joel and I met in junior high. I asked him to be my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day. We had our first kiss by the portables. A friend had to hold my retainer! I broke up with him and I can’t recall why. I think I wanted to go out with an older boy or something silly. We went on a trip to New York for school, and Joel spent the whole trip trying to make me jealous. My family moved away after that, but I never forgot him. Thirteen years later, I saw him on Classmates.com and sent him a message. I was living in North Carolina and he was in Portland. We talked on the phone for two months. I booked a flight and went to visit him. When I got off the plane, it was like a movie. I ran to him and we had the most amazing kiss. I remember how he smelled and it was like I was home. We got married two days later in Reno with his family there. I had to call my mom and tell her I was getting married! Now we have two daughters and he has loved me in sickness and in health. I am struggling with a life-threatening illness, but he has never walked away. He still treats me like I am as beautiful as the day we married 12 years ago.

Sherry & Robert: Unexpected love It was 1994. He walked through the office door wearing plaid shorts and a striped shirt. I remember thinking, “This man needs help!” He was cute, but too young – by eight and a half years. I set out to groom him for someone else. But when a woman called for him, I was shaken by my reaction of jealousy. I wanted him! We were engaged three times. On engagement number three, I said to him, If we last a year, we will marry next year.” We got married on January 11, 1997. He is my one true love who has always been there for me, especially this year, when we battled my cancer.

Sung & Jiwon: Love at first sight Jiwon and I met on a blind date. We were set up by her aunt and a mutual friend. When we met, we knew immediately we’d get married. We just knew. On our second date, sitting on a bench in Central Park, I asked her why she wasn’t married yet. She replied, “I haven’t met a man who loves Jesus as much as I do yet.” Because of her, my faith is where it is today and I am a pastor. We married seven months after meeting in New York, and then we relocated to Redding. •

❤ ❤ cr eative cr a fts for valen tin e ’s day

Love is in the air! Whether you are flying solo this year or celebrating with a loved one, Valentine’s Day is a good excuse to get your craft on. These projects are not only fun to do, they also result in beautiful decorations for a romantic Valentine’s dinner.

Valentine Topiaries

For this project you will need a five-inch Styrofoam ball, a hefty stack of red tissue paper, scissors, stick pins and about 30 pieces of thin wire, three inches in length. 1. Separate your tissue paper into stacks of six. Cut them into rectangles that measure three by six inches. 2. Take your first stack, fold in half lengthways and cut a heart at each end, starting at the fold. 3. Smooth tissue paper flat, and accordion fold into four to six folds. 4. Wrap wire around middle of paper, twisting at the bottom to secure. 5. Pull up and shape each layer of paper like a petal. The key to this is to keep your layers separate and curve each petal forward toward the center. 6. Hold flower by the wire base and tack with one pin to the Styrofoam ball. Secure tightly with a second pin. 7. Repeat process until most of the ball is covered (leave a small blank space so the floral ball can sit on a candle holder or other stand). The fun thing about this project is there is no incorrect way to make the flowers. Make them smaller or larger by adjusting your paper size. Fold the petals close together, or make them loose and leafy. You can also try doing a pointed edge instead of a heart shape.4 continued on page 52 February 2014 ENJOY | 51

Valentine Candles

This project is so easy you can complete it in less than 10 minutes. You will need a white pillar candle, two rolls of 25-foot red 20mm or 22mm jewelry wire, and a heart charm. 1. Bend a small piece of wire at a 90-degree angle. Start at the base of the candle and push the end into the wax. Place your finger over the entry point and begin to wrap the wire around the candle, securing the wire as you go. 2. When you’ve used about half of your wire, slide your charm into place and then continue to wind the wire. 3. Take the wire as high as you would like and when finished, hook the end, slide it under some of the secured wire and push the end into the wax. Do this on the back of your candle. Like the flower project, there is no incorrect way to apply the wire. Do it in smooth, circular motions, gradually working your way up, or apply it haphazardly in messy strips. Stop every few rotations to add a bead or a charm. Use your imagination and have fun.

Easy Valentine Candies

You will need a silicone heart candy mold, parchment paper, cinnamon and peppermint hard candies.

1. Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. 2. Place unwrapped candy in each heart, with the tip of the candy touching the top point of the heart. 3. Set your pan onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place into the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’ve melted into the heart shape. 4. Remove from oven, let them cool and then gently pop them out. These can be used for decorations, as little gifts inside your upcycled mint-tins, or set out in a candy dish.

52 | Enjoy february 2014

Upcycled Mint Tins

Don’t we all have a few of these in a drawer somewhere, thinking they might be good for something? Well, here is one option! For this project you will need spray paint, paint brushes, Mod Podge or glue, a sealer (if you don’t use Mod Podge) and fun, crafty notions.

1. Paint the tins and allow them to dry. White, red, or pink are good color choices. 2. Use the Mod Podge or glue to apply layers of beauty to your tin top and sides. Let it dry in between applications so it doesn’t get wrinkles. Seal each dried layer with a fresh coat of Mod Podge, or if using glue, wait until you’re done and seal the entire top with spray sealer. 3. Inside you can continue your creativity, or place little gifts.

Let your crafty flag fly! Use buttons, ribbon, fabric, scrapbook paper, old cards or love letters. What to put inside? Couple’s coupons are perfect for this size of tin, the little heart candies described below, or your own gift that needs a perfect box.

Certainly, many of these items can be bought, but there is something loving about making gifts with your hands, and the recipient of a thoughtful, handmade gift truly feels that love. •

n o rt h stat e OA K S ONG s o ci e t y Barry Hazle and Pete Angwin are cultural detectives, poking around in the hinterlands, talking to people in the know, sifting through stacks of recordings and constantly on the lookout for authentic music they can share with small but appreciative North State audiences. The two are the brains behind the Oaksong Society for the Preservation of Way-Cool Music, a modest, all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that has spent the last 13 years presenting concerts in Redding and Oak Run. Oaksong’s stock-in-trade is Americana music, a primarily acoustic mélange of roots music from the folk, country, bluegrass and R&B genres, but it’s happy to serve up side dishes of Hawaiian music as well. The society got its start in 2000 when Hazle, an Oak Run resident, teamed up with his neighbor, Bruce Wendt, the owner of a commercial nursery, to stage a pair of concerts on the front porch of Wendt’s home. The success of those shows inspired the men, and a handful of volunteers, to develop a small clearing on Wendt’s property into a small amphitheatre, complete with a covered 20x20-foot stage, lights and a professional sound system. They called the new venue Gray Pine Farm and it started hosting four to five shows each summer. Audience members were welcome to bring a picnic supper or take advantage of a barbecue dinner prepared on site. Some 200 to 300 people would typically turn out to enjoy the cool evening air and listen to some top-drawer talent. A few years later, the society began presenting indoor concerts during the winter months at Bernie’s Guitar (now the Music Connection) on Bechelli Lane. The Redding venue became a mainstay when the4 continued on page 56 February 2014 ENJOY | 55

“ I take a lot of satisfaction out of seeing this team effort. No one makes a dime out of this. We do this because we’re totally in love with the music and all that comes along with it.” recession came a’calling in 2008 and attendance at Gray Pine Farm shows dwindled to the point that Oaksong couldn’t break even. Oaksong now focuses on the acoustically resplendent, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Pilgrim Congregational Church, which became available about three years ago. Throughout the switches and minor growing pains, the organization’s goals have held steady. “We are purposely small, and we are purposely bringing in acts that we think are great and that we want people to come and see,” said Hazle, Oaksong’s president. “The main thing is to keep growing it, and keep providing people with excellent concerts at a great price,” says Angwin, the society’s artistic director. “We want to provide the opportunity to see some of these folks that ordinarily might not come to Redding and play.” The two acts scheduled for February, John Gorka on the 7th and the Dry Branch Fire Squad on the 14th, are excellent examples. A legitimate folk music star since 1984, Gorka is a contemporary of artists like Susanne Vega, Bill Morrissey, Nanci Griffith, Christine Lavin and Shawn Colvin. In 1991, Rolling Stone magazine called him “the preeminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement.” Angwin notes with considerable pride that Gorka’s management sought out the Oaksong booking with the aim of matching his rich baritone voice with Pilgrim Congregational Church’s acoustics. “I got a call from his manager, asking if it would be OK if he could play,” Angwin says, shaking his head at the memory. “It’s made for one of our strongest lineups yet.” The Dry Branch Fire Squad has been a music festival favorite for more than three decades, cultivating fans with exceptional musicianship and the self-deprecating humor of founder Ron Thomason. As the chair of an organization that stages an annual bluegrass festival, Thomason says regional music societies like Oaksong are critical to the survival of traditional music. “It’s not only a labor of love, but it’s a labor of absolute necessity because as a country, we have a dim view of the arts and especially our 56 | Enjoy february 2014

heritage arts. If people weren’t willing to do the work and pay the bills, there wouldn’t be anybody to take care of it,” Thomason says. Hazle says Oaksong is proud to play a role in keeping Americana music alive and available for local audiences and adds that the satisfaction comes from bringing in crowd favorites like Dry Branch Fire Squad and introducing lesser-known acts who are on the way up, like Hatchet Mountain native Rita Hosking and San Francisco-based Blame Sally. For Angwin, the payback comes at showtime. “During a show, I’ll stand on the side and look at the audience, see people smiling, tapping their feet and just enjoying the show. That is an amazing sense of satisfaction, to see people responding to these shows that we’ve put all this effort into. “I take a lot of satisfaction out of seeing this team effort. No one makes a dime out of this. We do this because we’re totally in love with the music and all that comes along with it.” • www.oaksongs.org Upcoming shows at Pilgrim Congregational Church (2850 Foothill Blvd., Redding): Feb. 7: John Gorka Feb. 14: Dry Branch Fire Squad March 7: Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands March 20: HAPA (Hawaiian music) For tickets, visit The Music Connection, 3086 Bechelli Lane in Redding or call (530) 223-2040

While many North State plants slumber, waiting for the rains and chilly winds to pass, Aristolochia californica, a vining perennial also known as California Dutchman’s pipe or California pipevine, is just waking up from a long winter’s nap. Native to riparian and woodland habitats throughout the Coast Ranges and Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, pipevine can be found from Monterey to Mt. Shasta. This twining vine brings interest to the landscape with one-inch-long, curiously shaped blooms consisting of three fused sepals that resemble calabash pipes. Each flower is pale green with purple veins, and features a maroon-colored open mouth and throat that, along with the “meaty” aroma it emits, attracts fungus gnats that act as pollinators.

Once flower display is underway, chartreuse, heart-shaped leaves emerge from downy-covered stems. These leaves, as well as fluted seed pods, provide essential nutrients for Battus philenor hirsuta, more commonly known as California pipevine swallowtail – a butterfly endemic to Northern California. In spring, the striking black butterfly with iridescent blue hind wings lays its tiny brick red, circular eggs exclusively on the pipevine – its host plant. Black larvae, or caterpillars, with orange spikes and spots running along their backs feed voraciously until it’s time to enter the chrysalis stage.4 continued on page 60 February 2014 ENJOY | 59

Pipevine in the home garden With time and proper cultivation, pipevine will flourish in the home garden. Growing up to 12 feet, this semi-woody vine prefers partial shade and regular water. Pipevine thrives in loamy soil where it can easily put down roots, but will adapt to any soil type. Gardeners who prefer a formal effect should plant pipevine at the base of a trellis or arbor and train it upward where the eye-catching flowers can shine. For gardeners with a wild heart, this deciduous vine is perfectly happy to act as a ground cover where it can mingle with nearby plants. A good gardening adage to remember when planting pipevine is this: “The first year it sleeps, the second year it creeps, the third year it leaps.” Though it’s not invasive, pipevine can easily cover nearby vegetation and fences once it gets a foothold. A simple remedy is to selectively prune shoots during the dormant season or after bloom. If it gets too large too quickly, cut pipevine to the ground before spring growth appears. To keep the home garden all aflutter from early spring through summer, plant other natives like salvia, lupine and yarrow, and nonnatives like Jupiter’s beard, lilac and lantana, which provide nectar for adult pipevine swallowtail butterflies. Then stand back, watch your garden grow and enjoy the activity that results from your good work. •

See pipevine on the Sacramento River Trail Head west from the Sacramento River Trail’s south parking lot at Court Street. Just before you reach the restrooms, look for pipevine rambling over shrubs and trees along the south side of the trail. Pipevine can also be found near the Sundial Bridge. Start at the north end of the bridge and head west. Before you reach the pond, look on the north side of the trail where pipevine crawls up chain link fencing that borders McConnell Arboretum. View pipevine blooms in February and March. In April, look for small black and orange caterpillars munching on tender leaves. Beginning in late spring, fully-grown caterpillars can be seen crossing the river trail to find the just-right location to build their chrysalises.

s u mm e r o d e l l ’ s a rt e s a n d a n c e c o m pa n y Great things come from Redding, and Summer Odell, the artistic director and choreographer of Artesan Dance Company whose humble beginnings and grand visions have launched her company onto stages as far away as France, aims to prove it. Just back from Los Angeles where her work is being included in the development stages of a dance-driven feature film, she says, “Big things can be birthed in Redding. I don’t want people to think you have to go to a big city like New York to see something amazing. I want people to know Redding produces what should be in New York.” When this confident 30-something brunette leans forward in her seat and describes her journey, one can’t help but be taken in by her passion, warmth and belief that doing the next small thing might swing wide the doors of fate. She makes it seem easy, given the gateways she’s walked through, but is quick to note her successes come only through dreaming, discipline and staying open to opportunity.4 continued on page 64

Odell started her company in 2006. After experimenting with choreography on herself and two other dancers, she realized her gift for bringing different dance styles together. “I’m really fascinated in how things that wouldn’t make sense can connect,” she says. Though trained in modern dance, she uses dancers with classical backgrounds, then employs a toolbox of styles to create cohesive productions. “I’m not into forcing things,” she says. “I just help bring to life what’s already there.” For her very first show, she dreamed of incorporating B-boy or breakdancing, an early and somewhat gritty street style. She wondered where she’d find male dancers in Redding, but pushed ahead with her vision. When a young man asked to use her studio to practice street dancing with his friends, she jumped at the chance, but made them a deal. “I told them, ‘I’ll give you studio time if you’ll take a ballet and modern dance class.’ I figured there is no way they’d show up.” Seven did, and she chose five for her first show, Fusion, at the Cascade Theater in 2009. That show caught the attention of someone who knew someone, and before she knew what was happening, Odell sat across from a French choreographer making plans to teach workshops and choreograph a fundraising production in France. “I didn’t think I’d be in Paris within a year of starting my company,” she says, but her4 continued on page 66

personal philosophy of work and preparedness lends credence to the axiom that chance favors prepared minds. “It’s a continual thing in taking responsibility for my own discipline and creative process,” she says. “I always have 20 shows in my head, ready to do if the time comes.” Her creative processes start with tiny sparks. A concept. An idea. “Maybe a piece of music makes me think of a word so I look it up in the dictionary. Then another song connects and it starts to build. It’s like falling in love,” she says. “Every idea is possible. It’s wonderful. When you start putting it on its feet, it’s like a relationship where you really can’t do anything else for awhile. It gives you the fortitude to go through the hard and high points, working together until you have an incredible show.” Odell makes sure to note that ego has no place in her work. “To be successful, I have my point of view and goal for sure,” she says, “but I have to be open to how things play out because I’m working with human beings. I might have ideas, but the people are the tools and gifts I have to work with.”

February is Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Month

The ear has three major parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear (see diagram). What is an ear infection? An ear infection is an inflammation of the middle ear, usually caused by bacteria, that occurs when fluid builds up behind the eardrum, also known as otitis media (OM). Anyone can get an ear infection, but children get them more often than adults. In fact, ear infections are the most common reason parents bring their child to a doctor. What causes an ear infection? An ear infection when caused by bacteria often begins after a child has a sore throat, cold, or other upper respiratory infection. If the upper respiratory infection is bacterial, these same bacteria may spread to the middle ear; if the upper respiratory infection is caused by a virus, such as a cold, the virus may move into the middle ear as a secondary infection. Due to the infection, fluid builds up behind the eardrum.

Symptoms of an ear infection: • Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common ear infection. Parts of the middle ear are infected and swollen and fluid is trapped behind the eardrum. This causes pain in the ear, commonly called an earache. • Otitis media with effusion (OME) sometimes happens after an ear infection has run its course and fluid stays trapped behind the eardrum. A child with OME may have no symptoms but a doctor will be able to see the fluid behind the eardrum with a special instrument. • Chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) happens when fluid remains in the middle ear for a long time or returns over and over even though there is no infection. COME makes it harder for children to fight new infections and also can affect their hearing. How can you tell if child has an ear infection? • Tugging or pulling at the ear(s) • Fussiness and crying • Trouble sleeping • Fever • Fluid draining from the ear • Clumsiness or problems with balance • Trouble hearing or responding to quiet sounds

Despite a lengthy career devoted to cardiac medicine, Douglas McConnell still becomes animated while discussing the heart. His eyes light up as he describes the tissues and basic mechanisms of the organ so essential to every person who has ever lived. “We’re actually the miracle,” says McConnell, the director of cardiac surgery for Shasta Regional Medical Center since 2009. “The aura of the human being—we should all be humbled in the presence of what we think we know. The heart is a truly remarkable organ.” McConnell’s medical office is adorned with large, stunning landscape prints of the North State, which reflect another lifelong passion—photography. A discussion flows from the technicalities of photography to the basics of heart surgery, but McConnell never seems to lose his sense of wonder or gratitude for either subject. Of photography, he says: “I let God create the beauty, I just try to capture the image.” But at the same time, “If you don’t have the physics right, you don’t have an image.”

T h e pa ssi o n s o f d o u g l a s mcc o n n e l l , M . D .

Regarding cardiac surgery, he mentions: “Any success is really the result of the people I work with. It’s like a small orchestra and we all know the score. The character and cohesiveness of this group of caregivers is remarkable. It’s an honor to work with them.” A few decades back during his medical residency at UCLA, McConnell participated in the initial team research for the technique known as cardioplegia—the intentional and temporary cessation of the heart during cardiac surgery. Cardioplegia allows physicians to do longer and more complex procedures on the heart and is commonly used in today’s surgeries. “I was lucky to be able to do some of the first cardioplegia work at UCLA,” he says. “You don’t think about it at the time, but (the procedure) turned out to be very important.” Before coming to Redding, McConnell spent 28 years in cardiac and thoracic surgery at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, where he served as both chief of staff and chief of surgery. During his tenure at Shasta Regional Medical Center, he and his team have performed more than 450 heart operations.4 continued on page 70 February 2014 ENJOY | 69

In a push to highlight preventive care, McConnell has more recently helped launch a dietary program called Shasta Heart Smart, which focuses on “ideal proteins” for individuals. People typically need cardiac surgery as the result of some form of metabolic syndrome, a combination of conditions that include obesity, elevated blood pressure, diabetes, high triglycerides, and low highdensity cholesterol (HDL) levels. McConnell says the program has helped him and some of his coworkers shed excess pounds, and he’s seen people with Type II diabetes get to the point where they no longer require medication. Along with diet, the standard checklist helps limit the risk of heart disease: get consistent exercise, avoid smoking, monitor your cholesterol levels, limit your stress, and limit your alcohol intake. McConnell, who has twice been honored in the Record Searchlight’s Health Care Hero series, says an experience at age 20 sealed his desire to become a surgeon. He was an undergraduate at Stanford who had just completed a summer job at Yale when his Chevy Nova was broadsided by a car in New Jersey. He sustained serious internal injuries and remembers looking into the eyes of a physician who told him he would need immediate surgery to stop the internal bleeding. “I’m a far better physician today because I was a patient,” he says. “You go from being invincible one moment to suddenly having to trust a surgeon with your life. It was an eye-opening experience and you realize that we’re all fairly interdependent on each other.” Other elements of McConnell’s background are as colorful as his panoramic photos of the North State. His office also includes a painting of John Wayne, who was a neighbor of McConnell’s family in Southern California. As a kid, McConnell played on a youth

baseball team sponsored by the famous actor—the John Wayne Giants. He has fond memories of the Duke attending team parties and even hollering across the street, “You gettin’ any good yet?” Years later at UCLA Medical Center, McConnell visited Wayne in his hospital room while the icon was in ill health. McConnell also served as a physician in the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army upon completion of his residency at UCLA. He describes himself as a “fish out of water” who had “never been so humbled in all his life” upon suddenly finding himself as an officer at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. His military brethren quickly brought him up to speed and helped shape what he still considers an “invaluable” life experience. Patients and coworkers have noted such deeds as McConnell visiting patients at their homes to check on them after surgeries, and loaning Shasta College nursing students money for tuition after hearing on the radio that their student loans had been frozen. Those things are a simple matter of paying it forward, he says. McConnell and his wife Bonny have five children and four grandchildren. Though still somewhat of a newcomer, he says he loves the North State and those who reside here, as well as the landscapes he attempts to capture in the best light—usually the very early morning light. “My only regret is that I didn’t get here sooner,” he says. •

E x p lo ri n g a n d c e l e b r ati n g T HE B l u e s Historians trace the origin of the blues to music performed by slaves on southern plantations around the turn of the 20th century. While blues music is considered a distinctly American musical form, the musical links between Africa and Mississippi are closely related. African-American Corey Harris is a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter who is keenly aware of his ancestral roots and the history of his people, here in the United States and in Africa, and he shares that experience in song like an African griot storyteller. Although he grew up in Denver, where he played blues, R&B, funk and4 continued on page 74

reggae, he has always been interested in the African foundation of what he considered “black music.” “I don’t think an artist can play the blues without dealing with the culture and history it comes from,” he says. As a student at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, he majored in anthropology, while taking exploratory trips to Cameroon, West Africa. “I already knew the blues came from black people, so that wasn’t anything I felt like I had to investigate in Africa, but I did learn more about different types of music in the places that I was. I was able to play with different people whose music I had heard and been a fan of, like Boubacar Traoré and Habib Koité and Djelimady Tounkara. Ali Farka Touré, of course, was a big influence on me.” Says Harris, “In Africa, they’ve got so much homegrown music, it’s not like they are lacking any musical styles. They know about the blues but they don’t really categorize blues as different from jazz, like a lot of us over here do. They just look at it as black music. One minute you’re listening to Sonny Boy Williamson and the next it’s John Coltrane, then after that it’s Muddy Waters. They appreciate our music much more than we do theirs. And a lot of it, I guess you might say, is because the U.S. floods the world with media and entertainment, and so it’s out there and it’s been out there for some time, whereas people are still, in this country, getting a handle on, like, the music of Mali.” Harris also believes it is difficult for many Americans to explore the musical connection between their nation and Africa. “I think that America cannot yet truly admit to the reality of slavery, so the African roots are misunderstood and disrespected.” Inspired by his participation in Martin Scorsese’s 2003 documentary, “Feel Like Going Home,” he immediately created and released his CD, “Mississippi to Mali,” and began to explore more unexpected directions with his compositions. With his 2005 album, Daily Bread, he explored reggae, mixing rasta numbers with traditional blues. Two years later, “Zion Crossroads,” a pure reggae collection, defied any notion that he could be musically pigeonholed.

After that, he seesawed between genres, teaming with harpist Phil Wiggins, touring and producing a acoustic blues album. Then he toured with his band, “Rasta Blues Experience”, playing reggae to blues to jazz, resulting in the “Father Son, Mother Earth” CD. Harris has performed, recorded, and toured with BB King, TajMahal, Buddy Guy, R.L. Burnside, Ali Farka Toure, Dave Matthews Band, Tracy Chapman, Olu Dara, Wilco and others. “My music, it’s just got sides to it. Even though it’s pretty much all blues, I’ve got New Orleanstype stuff, I’ve got Virginia-type, Piedmont-type stuff. I have had stuff that sounded more like Texas and Mississippi, and stuff where I played the kazoo. I’ve always tried to keep it interesting for myself and other people. I feel like you have to include cultural and spiritual sides of music in what you do.” Harris is one of a team of premier blues artists who performed on last year’s “True Blues,” a 13-song live CD set released last year. Recorded throughout the United States, “True Blues” explores and celebrates the blues genre and follows its rich history from the Mississippi delta of the early 1900s to the present day. It includes performances by Harris, Taj Mahal, Shemekia Copeland, Guy Davis, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Phil Wiggins. Currently, Harris is hosting the “True Blues” tour with Davis and Hart in an evening of music and conversation, which vividly brings to life this crucial wellspring of American music. • True Blues: An evening with Corey Harris with Guy Davis and Alvin Youngblood Hart Laxson Auditorium, Chico State University February 13 www.chicoperformances.com Cascade Theater, Redding February 14 www.true-blues.tickets-center.com 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.

Make Life Easier! 8 Caregiving Considerations

530.361.6727

While spending time with your family keep in mind these simple signs that mom and dad may be needing help at home:

1. MEDICAL CONDITION – Has your loved one been diagnosed with a disease, illness or other medical condition that could impact their daily living? How is the medical condition likely to cause limitations to a person’s abilities now or in the future?

5. BEHAVIOR – Does your loved one seem anxious or irritable? Does being away from home make them uncomfortable? Do they seem depressed? Are they inconsistent in the things they say? Does your loved one remember names, places and current events?

2. DRIVING - If your loved one drives, is there reason to believe they pose an above average risk for being involved in an accident? How are their reflexes, vision and ability to respond in an unexpected situation? Are they likely to get lost and panic?

6. MEDICATION - Can your loved one manage their medications properly including dosage, frequency and changes to prescriptions? Do they understand why they are taking the medications? Are prescriptions getting refilled in a timely fashion?

3. FOOD/NUTRITION – Is your loved one eating balanced meals? Is their weight stable? Are they able to prepare meals? Are they able to manage grocery shopping? Do they have a reasonable variety of food in the refrigerator (with future expiration dates)? 4. HYGIENE - How does your loved one look and smell including their breath? Does it appear they are bathing regularly? How are their overall appearance, grooming and ability to match clothing compared to prior years? Do their bed linens and bath towels appear clean? Are they able to manage the laundry?

7. FINANCES – Does it appear that your loved one is capable of making sound financial decisions? Are they able to manage their personal finances? Are bills being paid in a timely fashion? Do they have a reasonable amount of cash on hand? 8. MAIL - Is the mail stacking up? Do you see any past due or delinquency notices? Does your loved one appear to be a target for solicitation offers?

“

For me, taking care of your skin is the most important step. You can cover it with all the makeup you have, and it’s still not as nice as beautiful skin. Astrid Berges-Frisbey

”

Skin-sational W o w - W o rt h y Wi n t e r S ki n Even here in beautiful Northern California, the weather can sometimes indeed be frightful. From cold wind to central heat, the elements can wreak havoc on our skin. Here are some ways to winterproof your skin and end the season looking fresh for spring, and not as though you’ve been through a blizzard. It all begins with frigid weather. Low humidity outside, heat inside, plus long showers all equal common triggers for dry skin. They weaken the proteins that make up your skin cells and erode the lipids, or fats, that glue them all together. Water sneaks out of these cracks in your skin’s barrier, and drying begins. This break in the barrier can also let in pollutants and free radicals, which accelerate signs of aging, and it can cause the perfumes in your products to bother your skin and leave you itchy. As a side effect of dehydration, your natural exfoliating enzymes stop functioning optimally. Dead cells cling rather than shed, so in the shower, always use an exfoliating body scrub to refine rough areas. A sugar-based scrub melts faster than salt, making skin soft. I recommend getting a (believable) bronze glow to get you through the winter blues. This time of year, go for a gradual self-tanner, which can make your complexion one to two shades darker after each use. Apply before bed, then again every few days to maintain color.4 continued on page 78

February 2014 ENJOY | 77

For your glow to last, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Your skin needs to retain the hydration cold weather can strip away, so be liberal with a coconut oil-based moisturizer, which helps to bind in H2O. Always smooth lotion on damp skin—you only have a three-minute window for best results. Tip: Moisturize with the bathroom door closed, which helps maintain humidity, making it easier for the humectants from your lotion to draw in moisture to your skin. For makeup, choose cream-based formulas. It’s better if they contain vitamin E or green tea extract, which can help calm red, inflamed areas. Use a cream blush, and a highlighter on your eyes to brighten them. For lips, which can be especially dry this time of year, choose a vitamin-rich balm. (Aquaphor is a great fix for chapped lips and skin.) And don’t forget sunscreen. In the winter, UV rays can interfere with skin-barrier function, so be sure to use an SPF 30 or higher every single day. Finally, wearing scratchy fabrics is also a culprit to itchy skin, especially wool or synthetic fibers. So during the season of sweaters and scarves, try wearing a layer of soft cotton underneath. The fewer irritants on your skin, especially when it is already extra sensitive, the better. You certainly don’t have to hide away indoors all season. By following a few simple steps, your skin will survive winter and you just might emerge relatively unscathed come spring. •

bite of the horseradish for the sauce. These make the perfect main course with a salad and roasted vegetables, your guests will love them as hors d’oeuvres, and they are great as leftovers for breakfast—serve on toast with a poached egg and your day will perk up in a remarkable way.

Pepper-Crusted Salmon Cakes with Crème Fraiche Horseradish Sauce serves: 6 medium cakes or 15 – 18 smaller appetizer-sized cakes ingredients

1 pound salmon (wild caught) ½ cup crème fraiche 1 T prepared horseradish 1 tsp. lemon juice Sea salt and fresh ground pepper 2 T finely chopped red bell pepper 2 T finely chopped flat leaf parsley 2 T finely chopped red onion ½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. prepared horseradish 1 tsp. Dijon mustard ¼ cup mayonnaise 1 cup Panko bread crumbs, divided 1 T coarsely ground/cracked black pepper Olive oil for frying

PREPARATION 1 | Preheat your oven to 350F. Place the salmon in a baking pan with a half-inch of water. Bake/

poach until just cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Blot dry with a paper towel and remove the skin. 2 | In the meantime, in a small bowl combine the crème fraiche, 1 T horseradish and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set sauce aside. 3 | Put the salmon in a bowl and add the minced bell pepper, parsley, red onion, mustard,

mayonnaise, remaining horseradish and a half-cup of breadcrumbs. Stir with a fork to combine well and fluff. If the mix seems wet or too dry to form into cakes, add mayo or bread crumbs as needed. Exact quantity to add is totally by feel. 4 | Form the salmon mixture into six patties, or smaller if you’re serving them as small appetizer

cakes. Place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 5 | Mix together the remaining half-cup of bread crumbs and the cracked pepper on a plate or

in a shallow bowl. Heat a large splash of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Gently dip the salmon cakes in the ground pepper mixture, lightly coating both sides. The cakes will be fragile; be careful when you handle them. You may need to add a touch more bread crumbs and pepper, depending on how thickly you coat your cakes. Fry the salmon cakes until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve the horseradish sauce on the side. Garnish with chives and parsley. Prep time: 45 minutes; Bake time: 20-25 minutes; Cooking time: 6-8 minutes

Uncle Sam by Billy Pilgrim

That’s my Uncle Sam - the great Sam Maloof, one of America’s most revered furniture designers and builders. When I was growing up in Southern California, he was just my Uncle Sam who made furniture in his shop, which was attached to a very modest six-room house in the middle of some citrus groves in Alta Loma. We’d hang out with Uncle Sam and Aunt Alfreda during the holidays. I’d play with my cousin Slimen in the groves, shoot basketball and ride go karts. It was my favorite place in the whole world to hang out as a kid. Sam Maloof took a woodworking class at Chaffey High in Ontario, and his teacher was amazed by his talent. After high school, he went to work in the art department of Vortox Manufacturing in Claremont. After serving in the Army, he married my Aunt Alfreda. They moved to Alta Loma in the 1950s. Over time, that six-room house got bigger and bigger. Every year, it seems another room or two would be added on until it became a 16-room hand-crafted home. And every year, Sam’s reputation and fame as an artist grew. He made his furniture not with plans, but from the designs in his head, cutting out parts freehand on a band saw. And he assembled his pieces without nails or metal hardware. Even hinges were made of wood. His original hardwood designs were highly sought after, from his trademark handcrafted baby cradles to his original rockers and occasional tables and love seats. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan purchased his furniture. Jimmy Carter and my uncle became great friends. He would stop by the family home to have dinner with Sam and Alfreda. Ray Charles loved my uncle’s furniture. He said, “I can’t see it, but I can feel it. That furniture has got soul!” Maloof furniture appeared in art galleries and museums around the world, including Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and the Huntington

Library. Uncle Sam turned down multimillion-dollar offers to mass produce his pieces, preferring to build each one by hand. He was hailed as an extraordinary artist; the Smithsonian described him as “America’s most renowned contemporary furniture craftsman,” yet he remained humble and simply referred to himself as a “woodworker.” His beautiful autobiography is titled “Sam Maloof: Woodworker.” Through it all, he was just my Uncle Sam. When we were kids, we heard talk that the Maloofs would have to move one day because the 210 freeway was to be extended and was going to go right through that property in Alta Loma. (We’d look west through the groves and wonder “how can this be?”) It seems like it took over 30 years, but it came true. The beautiful 16-room handbuilt home, workshop and outbuildings were all moved three miles to 5131 Carnelian Street. Today, it serves as the center for the Sam Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts and the Sam Maloof Historic Residence and Woodworking Studio. You can tour it the next time you are in Southern California. A freeway parklet was established on the north side of the 210 on what was the original family property. There is a plaque there dedicated to my Aunt Alfreda. My uncle passed away in 2009, but his furniture designs are still being built today by three of his apprentices. An original Maloof piece, maybe one I watched him build when I was a kid, can be worth up to 100 times its original value. Specific pieces have sold for $200,000. You can learn more about Sam Maloof’s contributions to the world by visiting sam-maloof.com, maloofwoodworking.com, and by visiting the Sam Maloof page on Facebook. The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts can be found at Malooffoundation.org.

ENJOY: How did you become interested in creating these types of products? Elizabeth: Hubby and I are “full timers” living in our RV after retiring from our paying jobs. We had been discussing possibilities of what we could do to offset some of our expenses so we could do even more. In addition, I was looking for a hobby. Living in an RV.... well, let’s just say options are limited. We decided on craft shows. This would allow me to get creative on my own time and offset our travel expenses. We had no idea of what to sell/make, but we booked our first show anyway: An 8x8 booth for $25. Fast forward five years and here we are. The craft shows are behind us and we are settled in the Redding area. We still live in our RV but also have the luxury of a sewing studio, an online retail site, and, of course, Enjoy the Store. All of our designs are original. ENJOY: When and how did this evolve from a hobby into a business for you? Elizabeth: I grew up in the 1960s and ‘70s, when aprons were a staple in every kitchen and everything was made from scratch. Our first show was located in a small farming community, so aprons, to me, were an ideal product. So I dusted off my sewing machine and with the help of some too-cute chicken fabric, I whipped up a few vintage inspired aprons. I included a few potholders, dish

towels, place mats, etc., by using the scraps and a few other simple details. We were a hit – who knew? We continued down this track for a couple of years. I would not trade the experience for the world. Although it was exhausting, we learned a lot, had a ton of fun, met a plethora of super cool people (some of whom we are still friends with today). We also got to see back road America first hand and visit with extended family. What more could a girl ask for? ENJOY: Why do people enjoy your products so much? Elizabeth: For most, the word “apron” conjures up all sorts of nostalgic memories. Yes, it makes us smile to reminisce, but lets be honest: Aprons are out of date and out of fashion. This is where I come in. The motivation of our craft show success, positive feedback and inspiration from today’s contemporary fabrics allowed me to take “ho hum” and turn it into “aha!” From the gourmet chef to the person serving up martinis, there is something for everybody. • www.etsy.com/shop/SwankyPlaceAprons www.facebook.com/swankyplace www.twitter.com/swankyplace www.pinterest.com/swankyplace

GIVING BACK

PUPPY LOVE “Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.” ~Karen Davison

ResQ Animal Coalition/Pawz For a Cause is a small dog rescue organization, non-profit 501 (c)(3), located in Redding, networking to save lives. Their primary focus is terriers, pugs, pomeranians, poodles, bichons, shih tzus, papillons and many small mixed breeds. They believe in the quality of their adoptions, not the quantity. They take extra time and effort to ensure that the adopters and animals are carefully screened so they can provide the best match for both the adopter and the pet. They don’t believe in “impulse” decisions where you can take the dog home as soon as you fill out an application. They know from experience that this can result in heartbreak for the dog and the person adopting. All of ResQ animals are kept in foster homes in order to give them the best care. They are crate trained, started on housetraining if needed, and evaluated to determine their temperaments. They are fed a high quality, organic dog food and treats. The animals come to them from many different places: high kill “shelters”, strays, puppy mills, backyard breeders and owners who would rather not give their family member to a shelter or a “pound” when circumstances prevent them from keeping them. ResQ also helps other rescues who are full and can’t keep an animal when they are able. get involved: Make adoption the only option!” As everyone should be aware, until there is none don’t breed one. ResQ has

a blueprint they would love to see implemented to reduce/eliminate the unwanted animals in the North State. Shop in their store (all proceeds go to the animals). Foster an animal - training, supplies and medical are provided. There are many volunteer opportunities and they could always use store volunteers, dog walkers, be part of the animal rescue team. As with any non-profits, they could greatly benefit from fundraising professions, grant writers and advertising.
