I’m Rhonda Sanderson and I am living my dream.

I was very nervous starting college at the age of 39. I decided to go for my LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse) and it has been the best decision I ever made. Shasta College made it easy to fit classes around my work schedule. My prerequisite teachers were awesome! I loved to go to class and learn from them. I cannot say enough about the nursing program staff. They are the most supportive teachers that I have ever met. They have laughed, cried and counseled me through many things. Because of my past life decisions I have had many obstacles to overcome, but they have helped me through them all.

ION

REGISTRAT

BEGINS

My name is Phillip Bakken, and I am starting a new life at 52 years old.

I started working construction at 15 years old, eventually got married, and soon had children…but I always wanted to be a Fireman or a Nurse. By the time I reached my 50’s I felt very unfulfilled. I knew this was my opportunity to make a change. After considerable research, Shasta College became my path to the career I always wanted. Word of mouth on the excellence of the Shasta College program was convincing and the cost effectiveness of the Health Sciences Program stood out like a beacon in the darkness. I am currently enrolled in the NA/HHA (Nurse Assistant/ Home Health Aide) class and feel as if I have found myself. Shasta College has given me the opportunity to advance in the career path that has eluded me for over 25 years. The thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring instructors are to be commended for the help they give every student.

LIVING HOPE’S THE WOOD LISA PAYNE DISCOVERED THE LIVING HOPE food cooperative when a divorce left her and her children with financial hardship; Brandon Hunter found it when he was without permanent shelter. Unexpectedly, both found more than food to feed their hunger. “We’ve been doing this for about two years,” says Hunter, referring to the unique, hand-hewn furniture he and Payne make for the nonprofit out of the reclaimed wood it gathers.

“I was coming here when they were feeding the homeless and was introduced to another nonprofit for services,” he says. “When I finished with that, I came back to talk to Mike (Mojarro, Executive Director of Living Hope) about anything we could do to create jobs.” Meanwhile, Mojarro had been dabbling in building furniture after purchasing a table from a friend in Loomis who had resurrected it out of reclaimed wood. “They are amazing-looking pieces,” he says. “I own a4 continued on page 18

reimagined salvage and restoration company and was interested.” What started as Mojarro’s hobby has turned into the latest in a series of social entrepreneurial projects he and Living Hope Program Director Jordan Storment have instituted to create jobs for clients. “It requires simple, primitive wood and basic tools,” Mojarro says. “When we examined it in terms of Living Hope, I saw that it was totally replicable.” Hunter and Payne were the perfect fit and first in line when The Wood (shop) program piloted in 2013. “I worked in metal fabrication, so I took that experience and turned it to (working with) wood,” says Hunter. “If you know math and can use a tape measure, you can do just about anything.” Payne had experience working with furniture. “I showed Mike a piece I had refinished at my house and told him, ‘This is what I’m able to do,’” she says. “He brought me in on some small refinishing projects that grew into him bringing me in to refinish our commissioned projects.”

18 | ENJOY NOVEMBER 2014

As word spread, Mojarro began fielding texts and emails about old barns, outbuildings and other structures potentially suitable as product. The Wood uses only good-quality, true-dimension, rough-cut or handhewn lumber to reveal its character and maintain a primitive look, akin to the hand-notched wood used by the Amish, Mojarro says. “When people buy our furniture, we give them the history of the wood,” he adds. “Sometimes it is 80 to 100 years old. It tells a story and 95 percent of our purchasers appreciate it.” The builders use an etching stamp to imprint the date into the underside of each piece of furniture. “Right now we’re working on several projects for The Stirring church, tables for the café and conference room,” says Payne. “We also did the cash stand, bar and all the tables for Cinders Pizza downtown. It’s a great opportunity for our work to be seen.” Mojarro meets with clients to review design and inventory before bringing in Hunter and Payne to make necessary adjustments for a sound infrastructure.4 continued on page 20

Designs range from modern to Scandinavian to Old World, and depending on customer desire and use, wood is either sanded smooth for a kid-friendly surface or lightly sanded to preserve the old saw marks. As a final step, the team cures the wood with a clear or dark buff wax to waterproof it, making cleanup of spills and repairs to injured wood easier. Hunter and Payne started as independent contractors but are now employees of Living Hope, averaging 10 to 15 hours per week. They hope to build that into full –time, and Mojarro emphasizes that all monies raised go back into the program to support payroll, taxes and the purchase of product. Building furniture has been part of the process of building new lives. “I’m more self-sufficient than I was,” says Payne. “I’m still using the coop but the wage I earn helps me with extras for the kids. Living Hope has been way more than a job; it’s family to me.”

“I have a place to live now; I’m not sleeping in a car,” adds Hunter. “Our creativity and willingness to work are here but sometimes we have limited resources. That is the only thing holding us back.” • (530) 243-8066 www.livinghoperedding.com Find The Wood at Enjoy The Store, Redding and Red Bluff

P I LOT R O C K I N T H E S O DA M O U N TA I N W I L D E R N E S S THE APPLEGATE TRAIL drapes over the western Cascade Range, where early settlers of Oregon and California passed. The path is marked not by signs, but by a towering landmark of nature, which guided the early settlers over the mountains. It is one of the oldest portions of this range. Travelers called the formation Boundary Mountain, but today it’s known as Pilot Rock. Located within the Soda Mountain Wilderness, this volcanic plug rises almost 6,000 feet above the floors of the Shasta Valley in California and the Rogue Valley in Oregon. From the California side, Pilot Rock can be seen from 40 miles away. It looms over the Oregon border town of Ashland and shadows the Pacific Crest Trail.

The peak drew the attention of the Native American Takelma tribe, who called the rock “Tan-ts’at-seniphtha,” or “stone standing up.” In 1841, Lt. George F. Emmons of the U.S. Navy passed through on an exploring expedition. He recorded his thoughts upon seeing the rock as “a singular, isolated rock, which stands like a tower on the top of the ridge, rising above the surrounding forest with a bare and apparently unbroken surface.” The group named it Emmons Peak. However, the role of the mountain as a guide caused it to be renamed Pilot Rock. As a geological wonder, it is similar to Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, its lava core cooling in natural columns. The rock is mixed with black hornblende crystals, showing the presence of water over the area when the volcanic plug was formed. The peak is the remains of an ancient volcano, which established a natural boundary between the present California and Oregon states.4 continued on page 24

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 23

Sometimes Pilot Rock looms in the clouds, as if snagging storms. Since 1942, nine planes have crashed into the mountain. In 2000, the peak was placed under the protection of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and also in 2009 with the creation of the Soda Mountain Wilderness. The rock is a popular hiking destination, leading to a 360-degree view peering into California and Oregon. The trail ascends 1000 feet within 1.25 miles, making the climb short, but steep. Beginning in an old quarry, the trail begins on the remains of an old forest service road, joins the Pacific Crest Trail, then forks to the base of the rock. For those wishing to summit, two short vertical rock steps must be overcome. The reward is a view of Mt. Shasta, the Trinity Alps and Mt. McLoughlin, which are all seen by just making a slight turn of the head. To reach the trail, take exit 6 on Interstate 5 just across the Oregon border. Turn left onto Pilot Rock Road, which leads to the old quarry and trailhead. Pilot Rock is evidence of a time when an ancient ocean gave way to mountains forming a world to challenge pioneers later on. In the beauty of this wilderness, the words of W.H. Auden echo, “Soft as the earth is mankind and both need to be altered.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt. Shasta, 12 years ago returning from the San Diego area with his wife Monica. Together they raise their three boys and manage the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, Gary is also an adjunct professor for Simpson University.

Sam I Am S I X T E E N -Y E A R - O L D SAM CHIMENTI TA L K S S P O R T S

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, a North State sports wizard has correctly predicted the Super Bowl winner on the first day of football season - and he’s still five years too young to place a bet in Vegas. Sam Chimenti, a 16-year-old junior at University Preparatory School in Redding, has been a scholar of sports since he was 8. He’s done numerous sports talks on local television and radio stations. In September 2012, Chimenti predicted on the radio that his beloved 49ers would reach the Super Bowl, but that Jim Harbaugh would ultimately lose to brother John’s Baltimore Ravens by three points. The week before the big game, radio personality Don Burton asked Chimenti if his prediction would stand. “I wanted to change my pick and hop on the Niners bandwagon,” Chimenti says, “but I said the Ravens at the beginning of the year, so I decided I was going to stick with the Ravens and see how it goes.”4 continued on page 28

27 | ENJOY MAY 2013

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 27

The final point spread? Three points, just like he’d guessed. Then in September 2013, Chimenti’s analysis put the Broncos and Seahawks at the top of their conferences. It’s rare for both number one seeds to end up in the Super Bowl, but “I couldn’t see anybody that could stop them,” Chimenti says. He predicted the Seahawks would take home the rings. “You can’t beat the Seahawks at home,” he says. “They were my team from the beginning, like the Ravens were the year before. Everyone was big on the Broncos, and when I’d predict the Seahawks, people would say, ‘No, the Niners are going all the way.’ But defense wins championships.” Before the game, he reaffirmed his prediction on the radio. “I stuck with my gut, and sure enough, they blew them out. It was the best defense against the best offense, and the Seahawks held the Broncos to eight points,” says Chimenti, who was so confident in the outcome that he napped through the fourth quarter. “I should have gone to Vegas and maybe gotten us a bigger house.” This year, he thinks the NFC championship will pit the Arizona Cardinals against the Seahawks, and the Indianapolis Colts will face the Denver Broncos for the AFC. “The Seahawks have the best defense, and the road to the NFC goes through Seattle. The only team to beat Seattle, in Seattle, in the last two years was the Cardinals,” Chimenti says. “How good are the Cardinals? Pretty good. The defense is stellar. Right now they’re really banged up and hopefully they can power through it.” His pick: Cardinals. And the AFC? “It’s the same old story,” he says, words flowing off his tongue like a seasoned broadcaster. “The Broncos’ defense is better than last year, and that’s what killed them in the Super Bowl. Who will face them? The Colts. Andrew Luck is going to have a monster year. It would be a great story – Andrew Luck and the Colts face Peyton Manning, and Peyton goes out on top with the win.” Finally, for the big game, he’s made a bold prediction: “It’s not going to be a blowout, but the Cardinals have better defense. That’s why, at the end, the Cardinals win the Super Bowl for the first time in their history,” Chimenti says. “The Cardinals can’t seem to stay healthy early on in the season, but I’m faithful that they’ll do work and they won’t let me down.”

28 | ENJOY NOVEMBER 2014

His predictions center on a number of variables, starting with “my general opinion of how the team looks,” he says. “I usually wait until their rosters are set and they’re ready to go into the regular season. Who’s their quarterback, who’s their head coach who you have at the helm is a big thing. “It also takes a lot of luck,” he admits. Football is “the best sport in America,” he says. “It’s my favorite sport to analyze and watch, even being a Raiders fan and not having a lot of good Sundays. Basketball is all about the superstars, so it doesn’t hold my attention as much. Baseball is such a long, long season - so many things can happen. I had the Rangers in the playoffs, and they ended up being one of the worst teams in baseball - almost the entire team was lost to injury.” He’d like to pursue a sportscasting career after getting a communications degree, and he’s gotten some solid experience already - in addition to speaking on local TV and radio, and he presents the daily bulletin at school, adding his own flair. “It’s good practice,” he says. “There are days I’m perfect, and days like today where I get something wrong or talk too fast.” He has also announced football and basketball games at U-Prep, but the fourth and youngest son of Joe and Debi Chimenti has stepped down from the booth and onto the turf for the first time this fall. He started doing the school’s football workouts just to get into better shape, and is now a wide receiver for the Panthers. “We ran routes and I realized I had a little knack for it,” he says. “I convinced my parents to let me be the first Chimenti to play football.” One recent evening, after a full day of school and football practice, he glances at the TV to check the Monday Night Football score. “The Chiefs are killing ‘em,” he says. “I predicted they’d win, so that’s good.” • www.samchimenti.com

Lessons of Lassen S T E V E Z AC H A RY F O S T E R S A LOV E F O R T H E O U T D O O R S WHEN A YELLOW SCHOOL BUS WINDS ITS WAY to the entry gates of Lassen Volcanic National Park, the students inside are on the cusp of one of the most remarkable learning experiences of their school years. “Kids step off the bus and they don’t have the four walls,” says Steve Zachary, education specialist at the park. What they do have is access to the only park that inhabits all four types of volcanoes—a direct link to a standard elementary curriculum—and years of Zachary’s experience bringing lessons from the outdoors alive. “I try to share techniques with teachers about working with kids in the outdoors,” he says. “I try to teach them that there’s not a place that you can’t share a lesson using all sorts of different techniques.” Raised in Orange County, Zachary says, “My parents were really into the outdoors. We always went to national parks.” They instilled in him a love of nature, from deserts to mountains to oceans. “These seeds are planted when you’re young,” he adds. It was fitting then, that Zachary’s first job after completing college was at the nonprofit University of the Wilderness in Evergreen, Colo. There he ran wilderness trips for colleges across the country from the Florida Everglades to the Rocky Mountains to the desert Southwest. His courses encompassed topics from natural history to politics of wilderness areas. In the late 1980s, the National Park System developed the Parks as Classrooms program. Zachary received a phone call.4 continued on page 34

FIFTH ANNUAL ARTSMART CAN YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME you put your hands into a rainbow colored assortment of paint, smeared your tiny fingers across a blank sheet of paper and created your very first masterpiece? How old were you when you first saw a piece of fine art in a museum or gallery? For some, the first interaction with a piece of art is vague, virtually indistinguishable in the grand tapestry of memories. But for others, it’s an indelible moment that will be treasured forever. If you take a stroll through the Mt. Shasta Mall on the weekend of November 1-2, you’ll be drawn to far more than the enchanting deals, loaded shopping bags and delicious offerings at the food court. You might just be reminded of the first time you fell in love with a piece of art. ARTsMART, the Shasta County Arts Council’s annual, one-of-a-kind art show, is a unique opportunity to experience works from diverse media showcased in the most delightfully unexpected place – a shopping mall.4 continued on page 38

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 37

You’ll see the joy of a musician as he strums his instrument, feel the graceful movement of a dancer as she regales the crowd, watch a painter delicately stroke the canvas and breathe life into a piece that has only existed in her mind, and see a perfect moment in time captured in the form of a photographer’s snapshot. Art will not only be displayed and made available for sale or commission – it will be happening right before your eyes. Take a few moments to watch your child experience the joy of art at the children’s booth. Perhaps it will be the moment he remembers forever, the thought that will bring her pure joy long after she has had her own children. Make a day of it. Make it a tradition. It’s sure to become a treasured memory for you and your family. • ARTsMART Saturday, November 1: 10 am to 9 pm Sunday, November 2: 11 am to 6 pm Mt. Shasta Mall www.shastaartscouncil.org

In 2009, ARTsMART began as a one-day, small display of artwork at the mall. Five years later, the event has grown to be a well received, sought-after cultural event that brings joy and excitement to thousands of mall visitors. From local bands and dance troupes to performance artists, painters, photographers, jewelry artists and many others, this event has a little something for the artist in all of us. During this weekend-long arts and entertainment extravaganza, visitors can experience the artwork of nearly 100 local and regional artists, with some traveling from as far away as the Bay Area and Oregon. “People always ask us if we are coming back tomorrow. This time, we can proudly say ‘yes’,” says Susan Emerson, coordinator of ARTsMART. Perhaps the most enchanting thing about ARTsMART, aside from offering exposure to so many talented artists, is the fact that it brings art to the forefront for a large cross section of people – people who may not otherwise have access to its creation in these forms. Instead of hanging on the wall of a museum or under a focused gallery light, art becomes accessible to young and old alike. The art meets visitors where they are, on a level that they can be comfortable with. They can become involved with the art itself, instead of simply looking at it from a distance.

INSPIRATION

| BY SUE RALSTON

A S H L E E TAT E ’ S L A U N C H PA D 4 K I D S FOR ASHLEE TATE, THE LIGHT BULB WENT ON A COUPLE OF years ago after her daughter’s soccer practice. Tate and her husband, Randy, a local surgeon, became aware that one of their daughter’s teammates was going to have to drop out, simply because the family couldn’t afford the cleats, socks and shin guards required. “We went out that night and purchased everything and donated it anonymously so this child could play. And right then it occurred to me that there were lots of people I know who would sponsor a child’s activities if only they knew where the need was,” she says. “I said to him, ‘We should start something like this.’” Launchpad4Kids was born from that first awareness of need. With the mission “to provide a way for one person to directly impact a child in need, by providing funds to an activity of the child’s choice,” the newly emerging nonprofit is designed to match the needs of children between the ages of 3 and 17 with willing donors. This direct, personal funding site allows small monetary gifts to make a big difference in the lives of those who otherwise wouldn’t have access to enrichment programs, sports teams, art or dance classes, or mentoring

opportunities. Donations are tax-deductible and all donors receive a personal thank-you note from the child whose activity they fund. “The program is kind of like a cross between Make-A-Wish and Adopt-A-Child,” says Tate, a mother of two young children, 7-yearold Bria and 5-year-old Bair, and a seasoned self-employed public relations professional. “Not everyone has time to be a direct mentor, but they can reach into their pocket and fund a child’s dance classes for a month or two.” As she shared the idea with friends, it took off, and she put her PR business on the back burner to focus on Launchpad. The program is set up for kids from low-income, at-risk or underprivileged environments. Each child is nominated by schools or nonprofit organizations. As the word spread among her friends, referrals began to come in. “We get our referrals from PlusONE Mentors, One SAFE Place, Northern Valley Catholic Social Service and even some schools,” she says. Activities in the areas of cultural experiences, arts, personal mentoring and sports are eligible for funding. “Our goal is to get them to complete each thing. If you start soccer, you need to finish4 continued on page 44 NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 43

out the season. We believe the process of completion and achievement boosts their self-esteem.” Ongoing experiences are emphasized over one-time enrichment activities. A particularly rewarding match was made earlier this year through Shasta Regional Medical Center. When Tate became aware of a teenage girl who longed to rise above her difficult home circumstances and become a surgeon, she got in touch with Karen Hoyt, the hospital’s director of public relations and marketing. Says Hoyt: “We loved the idea. SRMC donated $1,000 to Launchpad. And when we found out there was a teenager who wanted to learn more about being a surgeon, we said, ‘We can bring her in and she can watch a heart surgery.’” Dr. Douglas McConnell, a cardiac surgeon, was happy to have her shadow him and the team. “She was able to see the whole process, observe the various roles on the cardiac surgery team, and view the actual surgery. Then she continued volunteering in the hospital this summer,” Hoyt says. Along the way, Tate has benefited from help and advice from such community leaders as Jean King of One SAFE Place. “She’s been a huge help to me, figuring out how to set it up and get it off the ground,” says Tate. She has assembled a board of directors, including Summer Ryan, Tim Rayl, Dr. Pam Ikuta and Anne Peterson. “Anne has been by my side since the beginning. She’s been my sounding board, my guidance counselor, and the one who tells it like it is. She’s like a fairy godmother to me.” Launchpad4Kids’ website features the requests of each child, along with the amount of funding required to make their wishes come true, usually between $50 and $200. Successes are also highlighted, including such funded projects as guitar lessons, a drawing class and jiujitsu classes. “I’m a big proponent of exposing kids to lots of different things so they gain confidence. We can’t change their environment, but we can change their outlook,” says Tate. “There are so many people who have come together to help with this. It really does take a community to wrap their arms around these kids and help.” •

FASHION TRENDS

a Fancy for

Fashion T H E L AT E S T S C O O P O N H O L I D AY FA S H I O N S

CALIFORNIA, IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF FASHION, is often thought of as New York’s casual cousin, the one proudly wearing white after Labor Day, the one wearing a lace-up when a loafer may have been a more widely adopted notion. And we Californians have fully embraced this more relaxed take on fashion – in fact, we’ve made it a brand all our own. Not that we can’t kick it up a notch when we have a good mind to, though, especially when the holidays are beckoning nigh. Read along for tips on how to infuse a bit of fancy into your holiday attire — while maintaining your seemingly effortless California swagger, of course. INFUSE A BIT OF COLOR Ladies: It goes without saying that wearing a burst of bright is the surest way to turn heads. But it’s never been more true than right now, when even in the dead of winter, vibrant versions of traditional jewel-toned colors, and even neon (yes, we said neon) take center stage. The forerunner this holiday season (aside from the ever-popular, ever-enchanting red) is magical, awe-inspiring royal blue. You’ve seen it all over this year, from fashion to home décor, and there is a reason is so popular. It’s bold, beautiful and screams of richness. Who couldn’t win with that combination? So this year, bypass that little black dress and go for a little (royal) blue dress instead. Gents: Some guys cringe at the mere thought of wearing anything coral, cinnamon or pink. If you are that guy, bear with us a moment. In the past, these tones have been reserved for men in the fashion spreads of world-renowned magazines. But in 2014, they are far more accessible and easy on the eyes than one would imagine. Have you seen just how dashing they can look when paired with just about any neutral? (Navy and any one of these colors might just take the cake.) We’re not saying to go for a suit that matches the color of the autumn leaves. But do try a T-shirt (under a blazer, of course), a cable knit cardigan or a vest in one of these unexpected yet stunning shades. Not a huge investment, but a worthy one.4 continued on page 48 NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 47

STEP BACK INTO TIME Ladies: Take your cue from the fashion magazines of the 1960s. Try a short and sassy mod inspired dress this holiday season. It doesn’t have to be worn with go-go boots or a beehive hairdo. (In fact, please don’t.) Go for a cut that is slightly A-line and can be worn with an elegant pair of heels. When is there a better time to doll up like this? Seize the moment. Gents: Ever wonder why the ladies swoon over the handsome Hollywood icons of yesteryear? Their unmarked style and grace shines through the cut and fabric of a well-tailored suit. The 1960s “Mad Men” inspired suit is a classic, but try it in a color aside from black. Navy, chocolate and charcoal are options that show you are stylish but don’t take yourself too seriously. And that, dear friends, is a really good thing.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS Ladies: Accessories are a sure-fire way to make or break an outfit, so be sure that yours are selected with care. Don’t make the mistake of wearing a black leather work shoe with a cocktail dress. (Insert record scratch here.) Satin is better. ‘Tis the season for something a bit more shiny than normal, so go with a rhinestone encrusted or feathered pair, if you feel so inspired. It’ll be fun and your tootsies can hang in high heels for a few hours without too much pain. (Bring your bedazzled ballet flats in the car, just in case, though.)

Gents: Sure, you may avoid wearing a tie or bow tie at all costs during the rest of the year, but, hey, it’s the holidays! So, rock one in a fun color or pattern. If you don’t want it to look as if you are “trying too hard,” opt for a cotton material instead of satin. Your friends and family will be impressed that you made the effort. Bonus: You may just be mistaken for a hipster.4 continued on page 50

POLISH YOUR LOOK WITH PATTERN Ladies: Want to infuse a bit of pattern without looking like a fashion victim? Try sheer tights with lace, argyle or pinstriped texture with your dress or skirt. They look amazing with heels, boots or ballet flats and offer a subtle way to make a statement. Feeling bold? Give a whirl to a pair with a more noticeable pattern or color contrast. Just keep the rest of your ensemble basic so your admirers can focus on your tasteful infusion of pattern and don’t find themselves dizzy as you walk by. Gents: OK. So maybe you aren’t ready to give the bow tie a go, but you can express your personality with a little something extra that isn’t quite so claustrophobia inducing. Enter the pocket square and the playful pair of patterned socks. That well-tailored blazer or suit jacket you’re wearing (and you should be wearing it because it looks amazing on you) has just been elevated by adding a splash of color by way of that little square of fabric. When you are having a talk with friends over hot toddies, and they look down to notice your socks, they’ll know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are not the average Joe.

50 | ENJOY NOVEMBER 2014

TOP IT OFF Ladies: We realize that not everyone is a hat person. If you are, rock one proudly, sister! If not, you can still wow them with something pretty on your head. A jeweled headband or fascinator instantly glamorizes any ensemble. Not into something quite so bold? Opt for a rhinestone and feathered hair clip. Gents: There is something wildly attractive about a man confident enough to wear a hat. And no, we don’t mean a baseball cap or sun visor. We’re talking newsboy caps, cable knit skull caps and fedoras. It’s not for everyone, but boy, when it’s done right, it’s out of this world! •

Casual with a Twist GOING CASUAL FOR A CAUSE

PHILANTHROPY AT ITS BEST uses the resources of the people for the people, a vision the Shasta Regional Community Foundation has upheld since its inception almost 15 years ago. Most of the foundation’s $23 million in assets is donor-directed (or restricted); however, it maintains a stewardship endowment fund to support local programs addressing pressing needs, says Kerry Caranci, Chief Executive Officer. “It is our most versatile and responsive fund,” she adds, “allowing us to address emerging opportunities that improve quality of life while supporting the foundation’s efforts to increase philanthropic endeavors throughout Shasta and Siskiyou counties.” Growing this fund while engaging resident-donors in both counties is a top priority, so last year, the foundation jumped aboard the national Giving Tuesday campaign. International in scope, Giving Tuesday has served as a model for communities around the globe to spearhead their own grassroots campaigns. The foundation’s effort yielded impressive results: $4,500 in only three weeks from 14 participating businesses. “We were shocked and overwhelmed at the response,” says Jill Harris, Development and Communications Officer. “This year, we are expanding our reach and envision increasing involvement from the business community.”4 continued on page 56

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 55

The Giving Tuesday philosophy is simple. “We spend one day giving thanks, two days getting deals (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) and now we dedicate a day to giving back,” Harris says. “Giving even $5 can make a difference.“ The foundation liked the Giving Tuesday idea so much that it created Casual For A Cause. “A $5 donation buys an employee of a participating business the right to wear jeans to work on the first Tuesday in December,” says Amanda Hutchings, Foundation Program Officer. “It is a good way to kick off the holiday season in the giving spirit.” Participating employers collect and then match the donations received, which are then returned to local nonprofit organizations through the foundation as grants. “The first year, we identified nonprofits that were meeting basic needs,” such as food and clothing distribution, Hutchings says. “The 2013 participants are eligible to nominate up to two nonprofits each for this year’s campaign. An organization does not have to do anything to be eligible for nomination other Photo courtesy of Shasta Regional Community Foundation than the good work it is already doing in the community.” The foundation vets the nominated organizations and asks The Shasta Senior Nutrition Program, a 2013 awardee, finalists to provide a brief video (which Hutchins says can be recorded on a smart phone) explaining its need. The videos are then used its $5,000 grant to purchase food for its Meals On posted to the foundation website for a public vote. Wheels program for homebound seniors. With rising food costs, This year, six organizations—three each from Shasta and Siskiyou Executive Director Debbie McClung says it can be tough to make the counties—will vie for $7,500 a piece.

G reenville HEALTH November is American Diabetes Month.

WISE Recent statistics on diabetes from American Diabetes Association (ADA) state there are nearly 30 million children and adults in the United States that have diabetes. Another 86 million Americans have pre-diabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The ADA estimates that the total national cost of diagnosed diabetes patients in the United States is $245 billion and approximately 20% will present with an acute foot problem. Fifteen percent will experience a foot ulcer, 5-10% will need lower limb amputation and 50% of those who receive an amputation die within 5 years. The Greenville Rancheria’s diabetes staff would like to stress the importance of “Keeping Your Feet Healthy”. WASH AND DRY YOUR FEET DAILY • Use mild soaps • Use warm water • Pat your skin, do not rub, but thoroughly dry your feet. • After washing, use lotion on your feet to prevent cracking. Do not put lotion between your toes. EXAMINE YOUR FEET EACH DAY • Check the tops and bottoms of your feet. Have someone else look at your feet if you cannot see them. • Check for dry, cracked skin. • Look for blisters, cuts, scratches, or other sores. • Check for redness, increased warmth, or tenderness when touching any area of your feet. • Check for ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses. • If you get a blister or sore from your shoes, do not “pop” it. Apply a bandage and wear a different pair of shoes.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR TOENAILS • Cut toenails after bathing when they are soft. • Cut toenails straight across and smooth with a nail file. • Avoid cutting into the corners of toes. • Do not cut cuticles. • You may want a Podiatrist (foot doctor) to cut your toenails. BE CAREFUL WHEN EXERCISING • Walk and exercise in comfortable shoes. • Do not exercise when you have open sores on your feet. PROTECT YOUR FEET WITH SHOES AND SOCKS • Never go barefoot. Always protect your feet by wearing shoes or hard-soled slippers or footwear. • Avoid shoes with high heels and pointed toes. • Avoid shoes that expose your toes or heels (such as open-toed shoes or sandals). These types of shoes increase your risk for injury and potential infections. • Try on new footwear with the type of socks you usually wear. • Do not wear new shoes for more than an hour at a time. • Change your socks daily. • Look and feel inside your shoes before putting them on to make sure there are no foreign objects or rough areas. • Avoid tight socks. • Wear natural-fiber socks (cotton, wool, or a cotton- wool blend). • Wear special shoes if your health care provider

recommends them. • Wear shoes/boots that will protect your feet from various weather conditions (cold, moisture, etc.). • Make sure your shoes fit properly. If you have neuropathy (nerve damage), you may not notice that your shoes are too tight. Perform the “footwear test” described below. FOOTWEAR TEST Use this simple test to see if your shoes fit correctly: • Stand on a piece of paper. (Make sure you are standing and not sitting, because your foot changes shape when you stand.) • Trace the outline of your foot. • Trace the outline of your shoe. • Compare the tracings: Is the shoe too narrow? Is your foot crammed into the shoe? The shoe should be at least 1/2 inch longer than your longest toe and as wide as your foot. PROPER SHOE CHOICES The following types of shoes are best for people with diabetes: • Closed toes and heels • Leather uppers without a seam inside • At least 1/2 inch extra space at the end of your longest toe • Inside of shoe should be soft with no rough areas • Outer sole should be made of stiff material • Shoes should be at least as wide as your feet

If you were to quantify it, it would be the equivalent to two months of meals at our Burney satellite center.” Free the Need, a Siskiyou County organization operated by volunteers, also received a $5,000 grant last year. The charity distributes surplus food to families in need. “The grant made it possible to provide food to 400 additional families in Siskiyou County for the holidays,” says volunteer Daisy

Meyer. “We purchased turkeys for the Thanksgiving/Holiday Food Program, which provided food boxes filled with fresh produce, including potatoes, onions, yams, carrots, pears and oranges as well as coffee and a large turkey.” Siskiyou resident Laurie found Free the Need eight years ago and says it is “a place where I could lift boxes and do something powerful and loving to help others and myself. I have been able to help pack boxes for other families in need, while taking some food for my family. I made it through my experience as a caretaker to both my mother and daughter. My struggles are over and I cannot express enough gratitude.” Since 2000, the Shasta Regional Community Foundation has awarded $12 million in grants to local communities, Caranci says. “Whether larger donations or pennies from school children, the foundation serves as a vehicle for donors to reach area nonprofit organizations.” Businesses and employees interested in promoting philanthropy within their organization are invited to join this year’s Casual For A Cause event on Tuesday, December 2. • (530) 244-1219 • www.shastarcf.org/givingtuesday

rancheria TIPS FOR FOOT CARE IN DIABETES • Don’t wait to treat a minor foot problem if you have diabetes. Follow your health care provider’s guidelines and first aid guidelines. • Report foot injuries and infections to your health care provider immediately. • Check water temperature with your elbow, not your foot. • Do not use a heating pad on your feet. • Do not cross your legs. • Do not self-treat your corns, calluses, or other foot problems. Go to your health care provider or Podiatrist to treat these conditions. WHEN TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT FOOT CARE Your health care provider should examine your feet at each visit. In addition, see your health care provider if you have any of the following problems with your feet: • Athlete’s foot (cracking between the toes) • Sores or wounds on your feet • Ingrown toenails • Increasing numbness or pain • Calluses • Redness • Blackening of skin • Bunions • Infection • Hammer toes (when the middle joint of toes is permanently bent downward) Foot care Information provided by MedMD

GOOD TIMES

Program participant Derek Foster

V E T S C ATC H A B R E A K W I T H H E A L I N G WAT E R S SOMETIMES THE WAY TO GO forward is to go fishing. Healing Waters Shasta County helps disabled military veterans by drawing on the therapeutic power of cold streams and slippery fish. Henry Hernandez, 69, of Redding found a sense of calm and camaraderie through the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers program. Fly fishing is a tremendous help with post traumatic stress, he says. “You concentrate on what you are doing. It’s just you and the environment,” Hernandez says. “I can’t explain it. It kind of helps you put it behind you. It’s great therapy, but it’s also just a lot of fun.” Hernandez did two tours of Vietnam in the U.S. Navy as a torpedo man on submarines. After so many submarine years, he found he mostly wanted to be alone. Healing Waters offered a way to get back into the stream of life. “I got tired of just sitting around … It gets me out in public,” he says. Joe Sellman, 34, makes a two-hour drive from Hornbrook in Siskiyou County to attend Healing Waters meetings in Redding. He likes how veterans help other veterans. “You walk into the room and you don’t have to explain

anything,” says Sellman, a Marine who served in the Invasion of Iraq and Battle of Fallujah. Todd Cooper was at the Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic in Redding two years ago when he heard about the program. “Someone just approached me and said, ‘You want to fish?’” he recalls. Cooper, 58, of Redding served in the Navy from 1974 until a medical discharge in 1982. He has multiple sclerosis. Limited mobility makes fishing challenging, but Cooper comes away from Healing Waters sessions feeling accomplished. “I’ve learned so much,” he says. “I’ve learned to tie flies. I built a fish net … When I’m fishing, I don’t think about my troubles, my disabilities.” The program is affiliated with the nonprofit Healing Waters Fly Fishing, which began at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., in 2005. There are 173 programs in 49 states. Healing Waters Shasta County works with the staff of the veterans clinic in Redding. The goal is emotional and physical rehabilitation for veterans with a disability, and the disability is often post traumatic stress disorder.4 continued on page 60

Fly fishing is therapeutic because it takes place in peaceful places with streams, conifers and mountain air. But there’s more at play than a beautiful setting, says Ron Saiki, a Vietnam War veteran and fly fishing enthusiast who is program coordinator. The sport is built around tricking trout, and there’s a lot that goes into that, he notes. Participants learn to read the water, which flies to use and how to cast so a fake fly lands in a realistic way. “It is an art and science. You don’t just go out there and throw worms and sit down,” Saiki says. “You are thinking about it – how to mimic what the fish would eat.” A big part of the healing is making connections with other veterans, says Richard Martin, program lead and a Vietnam veteran. When Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers started the program two and a half years ago, participants sat apart from each other at meetings and no one said much, Martin recalls. “Now you can’t shut them up,” he says with a grin. There’s good-natured banter (“Did you use the fishstretcher software on that photo?” a veteran asks) as well as serious conversation. “They still like to talk about their military days. They have lots of stories to tell each other,” Saiki says. The year-round program has 32 participants and meets weekly with monthly fishing trips. Gear is provided. Participants don’t pay for clinics, classes or excursions. The program receives discounts and donations from merchants, lodges, guides and manufacturers. Private donations also help cover expenses. Part of the power of Healing Waters is being an ongoing program, not just treating veterans to a day of fishing, Saiki notes. He sees participants change – come out of their shells – over time. That’s rewarding, he says. The best part of being a volunteer with the program, Saiki says, is “giving back to the guys who gave so much.” • www.shastatrinityflyfishers.org (530) 339-5009

F O U R N O R T H S TAT E F R I E N D S W H O S E R V E D I N T H E W W I I W O M E N ' S A R M Y CO R P S WHEN THE UNITED STATES ENTERED WORLD WAR II, thousands of American women answered the call to arms in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), later changed to Women’s Army Corps (WAC). These four incredible ladies all enlisted as soon as they were age eligible. Lillian Hughes served as a female recruiter in Florida prior to assignment in England. She sailed there aboard the Queen Elizabeth and returned home aboard the Queen Mary. Both luxury liners had been converted to troop vessels, and all available space was used; the swimming pool on the Queen Elizabeth was converted to the dining area for the women. The Army issued just one bicycle for everyone in her barracks to use for transportation while stationed in Warrington, a repair depot for U.S. planes damaged in the war. In London, Hughes monitored the Lend-Lease Act during the buzz bombing. The underground subway was used as bomb shelters with bedsprings anchored to the walls where civilians slept at night. Hughes was not a civilian, so she slept above ground subjected to nightly bombings, which left her with a hearing loss. Her husband, John, served as a civilian contractor for the Army in Alaska.

Betty Blom was already a licensed parachute rigger when she enlisted. It was cold and snowing when she arrived at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and as the Army was not prepared for women, she was housed in a converted horse stable. She was fed powdered eggs and powdered potatoes that she washed down with powdered milk. After learning to drive Jeeps and half-ton trucks, she was the parachute rigger assigned to March field and then to Lindbergh Field in San Diego. Blom was the only woman assigned to the squadron of pilots. Blom’s patriotism stemmed from her family. Her father was a WWI veteran, her mother was a “Rosie the Riveter” at a shipyard and her grandmother volunteered at the USO. She wrote many stories about her time in the military. Her husband, Wallace, served in Italy and North Africa. Marge Critton left Long Beach in 85-degree weather on a troop train, arriving in the 20-below-zero temperatures of Iowa. She became a medic and was a Ward Master at the Fort Sheridan, Ill., hospital, where she supervised five German prisoners of war. They were released from the stockade daily for hospital maintenance. Four spoke some English. Most had been forced into the “Hitler Youth” and Critton felt sorry for them, as they were such young boys. In a huge contrast4 continued on page 64

to that duty, she traveled to six cities, setting up medical booths and tents as part of the revue “This is the Army Mrs. Jones” showing America what Army life was like for the “boys.” Her husband, Cecil, served in the Navy as a radioman. Critton flew to see the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., last year on the Honor Flight. Lori Boyd had just graduated from basic training when World War II ended, and she served through the Korean War. Her first assignment was at Camp Atterbury, Ind., a prisoner of war camp for German and Italian soldiers. Bishop Fulton Sheen was scheduled to meet with the men soldiers, but Boyd was indignant that he was not visiting the women. She called his office and forcefully stated her concern to the man who answered the telephone. After a few minutes, she asked to whom she was speaking. Much to her surprise, she had just berated the bishop himself. Boyd was stationed in Japan shortly after the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, she was treated well and highly respected by the Japanese. While there, she climbed 12,388-foot Mt. Fuji. Boyd joined as an enlisted woman then completed Officers Candidate School and was promoted to lieutenant. She designed and built her home in Cottonwood. The size of the issued uniforms was hit and a miss. Most were too large. Critton altered hers. Most of them were wool and itchy. The stockings bagged at the knees. The Hobby Hats were hard and ruined all hairdos. As they were not allowed to wear civilian clothes, they had to be very careful of their uniforms, as they were not issued extras. Even in cold weather, they were only issued skirts, never pants or long johns like the men. Yet they were all as proud of their uniforms as they were to serve. Blom says she was proud walking down the streets, as people showed respect for the uniform.

Critton says men did not want women, in the Army and that made it hard at times. Boyd’s mother did not tell her friends or family that Lori enlisted and would not accept that her daughter was in the Army. Blom says she expected to be treated like a lady, and for her, it worked. Hughes says that when the news came that the war ended, she was in bed in London and heard a lot of noise. Car horns were honking and there was shouting in the streets. She hurriedly got dressed and joined a conga line that danced through the lobby of the Dorchester Hotel and on to Buckingham Palace. The Queen was not in residence, but there were a lot of people there singing and dancing. Blom says she felt great relief the war was over, and the men were coming home. Critton vividly remembers when World War II ended, as she was stationed in Pasadena when it was announced. All worked ceased and everyone erupted in celebration and crying with joy. Boyd remembers many celebrating still in nightgowns and pajamas. All say their military service taught them lifelong skills and values. They learned they were stronger and capable of doing so much more than they thought. They not only served this country with honor in its time of need, but they paved the way for today’s military women to have equal status with their male comrades-in-arms. • Editor’s note: Marge Critton passed away shortly after she was interviewed for this story. Enjoy Magazine expresses its condolences to her loved ones. Irene Castro grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota. She is a retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant who has traveled extensively and earned a bachelor’s degree in business management while in the Army. She enjoys being active in the community and being with her grandchildren. Irene and her husband, Rod, live in Shingletown.

SOON, SOME 20,000 CALIFORNIA GRAY WHALES will begin their Pacific Ocean commute from Alaska to northern Mexico, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pass right by MacKerricher State Park in Fort Bragg. The whales, which will be en route to their breeding grounds in Baja California, have an excuse for skipping the park. All others who are not members of the Eschrichtiidae family really should give serious thought to visiting this Mendocino County gem. The park, which covers nine miles of shoreline, is a picturesque meeting of sea and land that offers a little bit of everything for visitors. Along the rocky stretch of coastline to the south, explorers of all ages can spend 4 continued on page 68 NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 67

hours investigating tide pools or follow the boardwalk out to Laguna Point and watch harbor seals sun themselves. Out on the boardwalk, listening to distant waves crash against rocks while surrounded by verdant grasses and wildflowers, it’s easy to envision a time when Native Americans, including the Yuki and Pomo peoples, thrived in the area. (In fact, MacKerricher is the only park in the state system that was once part of the Mendocino Indian Reservation.) The boardwalk network brings visitors to an observation deck to enjoy the harbor seal population and, from December through April, the annual migration of whales from the Bering Sea to Baja California. Docent-led whale watch groups meet at the park’s visitor center during the migration season. A short distance inland, the park takes on a more typical north coast feel, with bluffs, headlands and forests of Bishop pine and Douglas fir. Campers can choose from 140 campsites, including 10 “walk-in” sites that offer a backpack experience without a long hike. Lake Cleone, a former tidal lagoon that was turned into a freshwater lake, offers visitors a chance to catch crappie and trout. A 1.3-mile trail circles the lake, which is home to several dozen species of birds. The northern end of the park features a long, sloping beach and

the Inglenook Fen-Ten Mile Dunes Preserve. The extensive 1,300acre dune complex includes sensitive wetlands and dunes that support three endangered or threatened animal and plant species, including the Western Snowy Plover and the Mendocino spineflower. The area also offers awesome opportunities for the young and young-at-heart to scale large, shifting mountains of sand and make dramatic, tumbling leaps from the sandy precipices. At the southern boundary of the park lies Glass Beach, a small arc of beach ringed with sand-smoothed beads of colored glass—the remnants of trash that was piled on the beach in the 1950s and 1960s when the area was used as a dump. Although it’s tempting to pocket a few glass pieces as souvenirs, the beads are considered a cultural resource and removing them is prohibited. As tempting as the park’s many features are, there are plenty more options in nearby Fort Bragg. Parents spending several days at the park can earn some points from the children with a well-timed visit to the C.V. Starr Community Center and its indoor water park. Workout rooms, off-leash dog parks and free Wi-Fi add to the appeal. A stop at Cowlick’s Ice Cream on North Main Street for some handmade goodness will end the venture on a sweet note.4 continued on page 70

Campers interested in a more serene side trip can see firsthand how Fort Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mild maritime climate lends itself to plant life with a visit to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens on Highway 1. That coastal climate also lends itself to the brewing of top-notch ales, and the Northcoast Brewing Co. is an excellent example. Opened in 1988 as a modest brewpub, Northcoast Brewing quickly established itself as a craft beer pioneer. In addition to its brewery that produces Red Seal Ale, Scrimshaw Pilsner, Acme Ale and other brands, the company operates a taproom, restaurant and gift store. â&#x20AC;˘ MacKerricher State Park 24100 MacKerricher Road (off Highway 1), Fort Bragg (707) 937-5804 www.parks.ca.gov

WITH THE BAND M A K I N G G O O D M U S I C W I T H C O L D S W E AT

THE FIVE GUYS KNEW EACH OTHER in the way musicians in a smallish town do. They had either heard one another play somewhere along the way, or they had heard of one or the other. It was only a matter of time before the five atoms met and bonded into a rock ‘n’ roll molecule. The Redding Moose Lodge, which at the time was hosting the Jefferson State Blues Society’s weekly jams, served as the catalyst. The stars aligned, the guitars, drums and keyboards came together, and Cold Sweat was formed. Lead guitarist Andres Acuña, who had returned to his native Redding after stints in San Diego and Los Angeles and was looking for opportunities to play, was the principal instigator. Kim Norden (who would later become Acuña’s wife) was a performer and instructor at Trish Harris’ studio in Redding, and she put him in touch with keyboardist Cleveland Bonéy. Bonéy, who says he was “making my rounds” when he landed a gig as the pianist for a local production of “Footloose,” quickly became a member of Acuña’s previous band, the Vatos.4 continued on page 74 NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 73

The two then met bassist Josh Sandbloom and welcomed him into the band. The Vatos disbanded when Acuña and his wife moved to San Diego in 2012. In his absence, Bonéy befriended vocalist Tiffany Crittenden, who mentioned another singer by the name of Eddie Sadler. When Acuña returned, he and Bonéy ventured out to the Moose Lodge blues jam and heard Sadler sing. Sadler, who had been in Redding for two years, knew of Acuña through Facebook but had not met him in person. The two met at the Moose, exchanged pleasantries, and Cold Sweat had found its lead singer. “They were looking for another guy and it just clicked,” says Sadler. “It really worked out. It was magic, really.” Eustaquio “Gino” Molina, a veteran drummer and trumpet player whose career as a recruiter for the Marines brought him to Redding in 2006, also met Acuña and Bonéy at the Moose jam and soon drummed his way into the band. “I’d known Josh from other bands, and I had heard about Cleveland and Andres. We all knew each other. We’re all very tight now. This is pretty much the most comfortable thing I’ve ever played in,” Molina says. Bonéy quickly seconds the drummer’s assessment. “We had all these cool cats who could play their (butts) off, who had never played together. All of us knew each other from these different things. We came together and wow. These guys … we’re friends for life. These guys are like family to me. We all make really, really good music together, which is a huge bonus. I’m so stoked to be a part of this.” Acuña enjoys the comfort level that comes from playing in his home

town, especially compared with the music scene in Los Angeles, which can be a tad intimidating. “Down there it was harder. It felt like you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a musician who plays five different instruments and sings in five octaves.” On the flip side, however, is the lack of opportunities to perform. “There are not as many places to play. It’s harder to get out and play during the week,” Acuña says. “There’s a lot of great music, but not a lot of venues for whatever reason. It’s hard for a bar to keep its doors open,” says Sadler, who works at the Cascade Theatre as a lighting designer. Despite the challenging environment, Cold Sweat is marching on. The band recorded an EP, “After Hours Sessions Vol. I,” and had the distinction of opening for Los Lonely Boys at the Cascade Theatre. To help keep Redding’s music scene flourishing, Cold Sweat members are happy to sit in and host weekly jam sessions at Kelly’s Pub and Brick’s Smokehouse. “We’re a blues-based rock band, but we’ve had singer-songwriters, country music, jazz—we open it up to anybody,” Acuña says. • www.coldsweatmusic.com

LIFE IN FOCUS B E H AV I O R A L O P TO M E T R I S T S T E V E N G O E D E R T WHEN WE THINK OF OPTOMETRY, our thoughts turn to eyesight, glasses and 20/20. In exams, we ramble off increasingly shrinking letters from a chart, decide whether “this” or “this” lens is clearer, and leave the office with a verdict for how well we can or can’t see. Our seeing problems solved, we go on our merry way. According to Dr. Steven Goedert, a behavioral optometrist in Redding, we may only have half our story. While we addressed the clarity of sight, we likely missed addressing true vision, a holistic system that questions the relationship between our eyeballs and brains. “Vision is being able to have meaning in what you see,” says Goedert. “Actual seeing is in the visual cortex. It’s highly integrated with movement, hearing and sensory modalities.” If our vision is off, we might find ourselves losing track of words on a page, partially closing one eye to read, or having difficulty with handeye coordination and depth perception. These are all signals our vision system is not working as a wholly functioning team. Quite often,4 continued on page 78

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 77

Dr. Goedert finds the breakdown in eye teaming, or the ability to coordinate both eyes together. We learn to adapt, but miss our full potential in comprehension and decision-making. But we are often unaware of the deficiencies, and more so, that we can improve them. We figure we were just poor students or that we have lousy memories, but Goedert says, “Vision can be trained. It’s learned.” Football players, tennis players and professional golfers know this, as many have made vision therapy, a treatment program designed to correct visual-motor and/or perceptual-cognitive difficulties, a part of training regiments. “How fast can you recognize the position of an incoming baseball pitch?” Goedert asks. At his office, college athletes glimpse slides shown at speeds of 1/100th of a second and learn to combine recognition with rhythm and timing. Over time, he asks them to add movement and balance to fully integrate their whole body systems. In an everyman’s application, vision therapy might add to an executive’s ability to effectively read, process and make decisions when faced with large doses of information and external stresses. Goedert also works with those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, strokes and neurological disorders that may have compromised the nervous system. After a full 30-year career as a primary care optometrist, Goedert reaps great satisfaction from devoting himself fulltime to vision therapy, where the bulk of his clients are children who have moved from learning to read to reading to learn, and have been classified with implied learning disabilities. “They hit a wall around third or fourth grade,” he says. “You often have a smart kid who is good in math and fine if you read to them, but they’ve lost interest in reading because comprehension drops off.” For parents who wonder at the child who fights them to read, he says, “Sometimes the rebellion is an adaptation.” These kids should have a full developmental exam that measures binocularity and near sight. “It’s an easy thing to rule out.” Though it is a clinical practice, vision therapy, while it requires time and likely frustration, looks more like child’s play. A trampoline, hulahoops, colored balls and balancing boards dot the office decor. A few flat-screen TVs and high-tech media equipment disguise exercises as games. “If it’s not play time, they don’t want to come back,” says Goedert. So while patients chase cartoon frogs on a screen and race down speedways to hone vision, it’s not just sight they’re after. It’s real vision, a life vision that will come into focus. Says Goedert, “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a child turn around and be successful.”•

“THERE’S NOTHING MORE REWARDING THAN SEEING A CHILD TURN AROUND AND BE SUCCESSFUL.”

C H E F K AT E C H A D W I C K K E E P S I T F R E S H A N D LO C A L F O R DUNSMUIR'S DOGWOOD DINER NOT A WEEK GOES BY WITHOUT SOMEONE WALKING into the Dogwood Diner looking for Hurricane Kate. Kate Chadwick, executive chef of the popular Dunsmuir eatery, is happy that there’s enough crossover of customers between her current digs and the oncepopular restaurant she owned in the coastal town of Eureka named, aptly, Hurricane Kate’s. The talented chef, who creates meals from locally sourced, sustainable, organic ingredients, has traveled the world, working in places as diverse as Israel, New Orleans and Hawaii, and brought influences from each place to her new North State home and the diner. “I call it California comfort food,” Chadwick says of her menu items. “It’s really healthy food and it’s whole food.” But about that Hurricane thing. The moniker came one day in Flagstaff, Ariz., when she came into a restaurant early to prep for a big catering event. By the time her co-workers walked in a few hours later, the kitchen looked like a powerful weather force had moved through. There’s also the fact that she’s always on the move. Of that, though, she says, “I’m kind of trying to let that persona go and be more mellow.” The Dogwood Diner opened in April 2012, mere months after Chadwick first visited Dunsmuir at the request of its owner, Debra Day, to serve as chef. “I just fell in love with the landscape, the pocket canyon and the building,” she says. “I could see something here.” That “something” is the added ingredient to the success of the diner. It’s more than fresh, healthy, delicious food. There’s a core belief in the town itself and a desire to see it flourish. The diner’s name comes from the more than 52 dogwood trees planted by community members to honor their loved ones. “We liked the sound of it and thought it was a reflection of the community,” Chadwick says.4 continued on page 82

NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 81

“The thing for me about this area is the potential,” she adds. “It’s still kind of undiscovered.” The efforts to get Dunsmuir discovered include working within a larger community context to renovate historic buildings, developing gathering activities such as a harvest festival and community garden, and creating businesses that attract locals and visitors alike, a la the Dogwood Diner and soon to be opened Buttercup Bakery, another Chadwick endeavor. “It’s a small community, but it’s right on the I-5 corridor,” she says, noting that she appreciates what she refers to as the “mountain integrity” of the people, who also keep an eye toward the future. “We’re hopeful and optimistic that it’s going to continue to grow. And it’s been growing every year.” Keeping things fresh and local means using the offerings from the Dunsmuir community garden and area farmers markets. Local farmers and gardeners have been known to drop off extra produce, as well. “When people realize that we do this, they bring us stuff,” says Chadwick, who once developed a dish from a bushel of fresh plums brought in. Offering up the sweets at the diner is Kelley Brentt, who has been waitressing there since just a few months shy of its opening date. “We were short a baker so I’ve just been giving it a whirl,” she says. A selftaught enthusiast, Brentt has always enjoyed baking for friends and family and now finds that the love extends to the customers of the diner. People look forward to her berry and cream tartlets and the fact that she always has at least one gluten-free offering available. The Dogwood Diner sits across from the railroad tracks on Sacramento Avenue and adjacent to Brown Trout Vintage, a companion business that shares an interior door to the diner. The atmosphere is bright and airy, with high ceilings and an eclectic décor reflective of the artistic, outdoor and vintage passions of those who call Dunsmuir home. Strewn here and there are notices to “Eat well. Be well.” From the standard fare of a burger to the more adventurous offerings of polenta with sausage and eggplant, care is taken down to the smallest details. Fries are hand-cut and cooked in rice bran oil. Ketchup and sausage are house-made. Meat is locally sourced. “We don’t believe that you have to sacrifice anything by eating whole foods and healthy foods,” says Chadwick, emphasizing her commitment to creating menu items that “are always satisfying.” • Dogwood Diner 5841 Sacramento Ave., Dunsmuir (530) 678-3502 www.thedogwooddiner.com

Z I G G Y M A R L E Y TO P L AY AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E DAVID NESTA MARLEY WAS BORN IN 1968 IN Kingston, Jamaica, and given the nickname of Ziggy by his father, reggae superstar Bob Marley. For years, Ziggy recorded and toured with his brother Stephen and sisters Sharon and Cedella as the Melody Makers. It all began with his father giving him guitar and drum lessons as a young boy. He sat in on recording sessions with Bob Marley and the Wailers when he was 10. In 1979, he, his brother and their sisters joined their father in his studio to record the single “Children Playing in the Streets.” That was the beginning of the Melody Makers, who continued to play together at family events and even performed at their father’s state funeral in 1981. By 1988, the record “The Conscious Party” won a Grammy Award and produced the hit songs “Tomorrow People” and “Tumbling Down.” The follow-up album, “One Bright Day,” made the top 20

and, like its predecessor, won another Grammy. In 1997, “Fallen Is Babylon,” scored a third Grammy for the group. “It’s natural for us to be compared to our father,” Marley says. “We’re his kids. I’m his son. Even if I wasn’t in music, even if my father was a carpenter, some guy in Jamaica would go, ‘You’re just like Bob. You’re just like your father.’” After two decades with the Melody Makers, Ziggy made a solo album called “Dragonfly,” a record with strong messages, both political and personal growth. The title track was told from the perspective of animals seeing what mankind has done to the earth. His second solo CD, “Love is My Religion,” received the 2007 Grammy for Best Reggae album. He intended to follow up with another adult album, but was inspired to do a collection of islandinflected slow jams laced with humanitarian messages for youngsters.4 continued on page 86 NOVEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 85

This resulted in another Grammy for Best Children’s Album, “Family Time,” which included musical contributions from Willie Nelson and Paul Simon. Explains Ziggy: “Back in my earlier days, I would usually sing about what was going on in politics or in social circumstances, and I still do every now and again. But generally, now, I have come to the conclusion that my songs need to be more connected to the emotional aspect of humanity, the spiritual aspect of humanity. I still have my political views, but I don’t see myself as a political artist. Music is spiritual, and within that some politics still live, but it’s not the main force anymore.” He recently won his third solo Grammy (and sixth overall) with his 2013 live album, “Ziggy Marley in Concert,” which won Best Reggae Album. The award comes on the heels of his current tour to support his recent CD, “Fly Rasta.” “With every album, I bring in songs that I have written over a certain period of time, and the goal is to make a really good sounding album that tries to push the boundaries and carry the music forward,” he says. “Fly Rasta is a little futuristic for me in that it tests the limits of traditional reggae musically, while lyrically I’m writing a lot in these 10 songs about overcoming obstacles. They’re based on some of the tougher times I’ve been through and some require listeners to read between the lines to get at the deeper meanings. It’s been many years since I sang with both of my sisters and Erica, so I wanted to bring their distinctive style to the new album as well.”

To coincide with the “Fly Rasta project,” Ziggy has released a new children’s book, “I Love You Too,” based on one of his songs of the same title from his album “Family Time,” which explores a child’s relationship with parents, nature and the unstoppable force of love. Ziggy founded Unlimited Resources Giving Enlightenment (URGE), which works to help children in Jamaica and Ethiopia, and contributes time and financial assistance to Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit that provides free musical instruments and free lessons to public school children throughout the United States. About his sense of responsibility as an artist, he says,”a musician must find that type of calling through his own consciousness. It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be about more than simply entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light. My family experiences are always living within me. As I continue to explore the way music impacts people both physiologically and psychologically, my own expression as a songwriter and artist continues to grow.”• Ziggy Marley Nov. 7, Cascade Theatre www.cascadetheatre.org

WHAT’S COOKIN’

| BY LANA GRANFORS | PHOTOS: KARA STEWART

My grandson, Garet, loves all things to do with baking. He will be 4 next month, so I thought it would be fun to create something in honor of his birthday using one of his favorite baked items, pumpkin bread. When he is here at Camp GG, baking the bread is almost always on the list of fun things we have planned, as well as pumpkin pancakes. He helps gather the ingredients, breaks the eggs and helps with the measuring and of course, the mixing. His favorite part of baking is using my stand mixer. He greets it with a “good morning, white mixer,” and wishes it a good night at the end of the day… sure makes me laugh! And I’m not sure how long this will last, but he even loves helping with the dishes! I’m hopeful that he will keep enjoying our time together in the kitchen for many years to come. This recipe is essentially a bread pudding. Start by baking your favorite pumpkin bread recipe. Most recipes make more than one loaf, so enjoy one sliced warm with breakfast, and use the other to create this wonderful dessert for one of your holiday meals. It is easy and delicious and best served warm, topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, and a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg or cinnamon and sugar. Enjoy!

One loaf of pumpkin bread, cut into 2-inch cubes and toasted 2 cups of heavy cream or half-and-half 3 large eggs, well beaten 1 tsp. vanilla ½ tsp. cinnamon ½ tsp. ground ginger ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. freshly ground nutmeg Pinch of ground cloves 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
