MYSTICAL, MAGICAL M I S T L E TO E
MISTLETOE IS A PUSHY PARASITE—an opportunistic plant that sinks its roots into trees. The version common on North State oaks spreads by birds excreting seeds on branches. U.S. Forest Service plant pathologist Pete Angwin notes that “mistletoe,” roughly translated, means “dung on a twig.” How’s that for seasonal merriment? Mistletoe hardly seems the poster plant for Christmas celebrations. Yet sprigs of the self-serving plant are welcomed into homes in December. Snatching a seasonal smooch under mistletoe is a popular holiday ritual. Mistletoe has long been a plant of mystique – sometimes feared, often revered. It’s intertwined in Scandinavian, Druid, Greek and Roman legends and rituals. The plant has been a symbol of purity, fertility, health, strength, luck and peace, according to The Mistletoe Pages, a United Kingdom website devoted to all things mistletoe. Green and lush on the bare branches of deciduous trees in winter, mistletoe was seen as a life force. Along with other evergreen plants, it became part of pagan solstice celebrations. Such evergreen reverence, while initially banned by Christian churches, eventually rolled into Christmas celebrations. The kissing custom seems to have grown out of the plant representing fertility because of its winter vigor. By4 continued on page 18 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 17
PHOTOS BY PETE ANGWIN/U.S. FOREST SERVICE
the mid-1800s, London magazines were reflecting the popularity of kissing under mistletoe, Mistletoe Pages notes. Mistletoe legends sprang from European mistletoe, genus Viscum, which is not the same as North American mistletoe, Phoradendron. Both have evergreen leaves and white berries, but Mistletoe Pages dismisses the American cousin as lacking in symmetry and “looking, to be frank, fairly ordinary.” That hasn’t stopped Phoradendron from gaining popularity as American Christmas Mistletoe. The North State has plenty of mistletoe. Plant pathologist Angwin, who is based in Redding and works for the Forest Health Protection branch of the Forest Service, says there are two types: Leafy mistletoe (also called true mistletoe) and dwarf mistletoe. A tree will not feel jolly about either, but dwarf mistletoe poses a much bigger risk to tree health. The most common leafy mistletoe in the North State is Phoradendron villosum. It grows in clumps on oak trees and is easy to spot in winter. The leathery-leaved plant is able to make its own food through photosynthesis. “Leafy mistletoes don’t cause a lot of damage to the host trees,” Angwin says. “Essentially, they extract water from the tree.” Dwarf mistletoe, genus Arceuthobium, is another story. It lacks the thick leaves of leafy mistletoe and can’t photosynthesize, so it steals both water and nutrients from the host. “The dwarf mistletoe has a much more serious impact because it is taking energy away from the tree,” says Don Owen, forest pest specialist with the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in Redding. An infestation weakens trees, making them targets for disease and pests like bark beetles, Angwin says. Dwarf mistletoe is partial to conifers. A common species is Arceuthobium campylopodum, which latches onto ponderosa pines. 18 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
Dwarf mistletoe is only ½ to 5 inches long, Angwin says. It resembles little stems, yellow to olive in color, Owen says—definitely not anything that would pass for a holiday decoration. It has a stealthy presence in the forest. “You can walk around and not see it,” Owen says. One way to find dwarf mistletoe is to look for witches’ brooms— proliferations of conifer branches. A hormone from the mistletoe directs new tree growth to where the parasite is attached. “They produce these plant hormones that cause trees to branch in kind of a wild fashion,” Angwin says. While leafy mistletoe seeds spread via birds that gobble berries, dwarf mistletoe uses an explosive strategy. Each seed is encapsulated in a tiny fruit filled with sticky liquid. Pressure builds in the miniscule football-shaped capsules until they explode, shooting the seeds. Most land within 20 feet, but can go as far as 50 feet, Angwin says. “If they happen to hit a needle of a conifer tree, they’ll stick to it,” he says. The slightest touch detonates the swollen capsules. “I used to take my kids and show them the seeds. If you touch them, they explode,” Owen says. Dwarf and leafy mistletoes are native plants. While they don’t smack of good fortune for trees, they provide food and shelter for birds and small mammals. Birds especially like the fruits and some nest in witches’ brooms. By the way, mistletoe leaves and berries have toxins. If you invite the parasite into your home for the holidays, keep sprigs out of reach of children and pets. • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding.

W I N T E R F E S T R E D D I N G — A T H R E E - M O N T H - LO N G F E S T I VA L A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE IN THE KNOW when it comes to art and culture in Redding, whether it’s holiday traditions like “A Cascade Christmas” and Shasta High’s Madrigal Dinner or where to grab a bite to eat and catch some live music. Most of those people live, work or shop in Redding. The Shasta County Arts Council, with help from a half-dozen partners, wants to spread the word of Redding’s cultural offerings to those who don’t necessarily live, work or shop in Redding: In other words, the visitors who make the North State’s tourism industry hum. Stepping in to spotlight the city's finer things is WinterFest, a threemonth-long festival that helps tourists and locals alike learn about the latest in live music, theater, exhibits, gallery shows and special events taking place in December, January and February. Not coincidentally, those are the three months when North State visitor numbers are at their lowest. “We need to give people a reason to come and visit,” says Debra Lucero, the Shasta County Arts Council’s executive director. “They’ve seen the Sundial Bridge, but did they know Redding has incredible theater?” The heart of the campaign is WinterFestRedding.org, an interactive Web site that lists events, festivals and other cultural amenities in Shasta, Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou and Butte counties. The site, which continues to grow as more groups, businesses and artists add information, “catalogs, during a certain time frame, how much interesting stuff is going on,” Lucero says. “This is not just for guests, either. People in the area will understand how rich and diverse Redding’s art and culture really is,” Lucero says. WinterFest is patterned after Chico’s successful ArtoberFest, an annual celebration of studio tours, Octoberfest festivities and other fall events in and around Butte County. When it began in 2005, Artoberfest featured 85 events; by 2008, it had almost doubled to 150. Lucero expects WinterFest to register similar growth in the coming

years as arts organizations learn of its marketing reach. “What we found by doing it in Chico, by the third year, people started planning and designing events for Artoberfest because they knew there would be a big push. It was especially helpful to theater groups to be able to work a year in advance.” WinterFest, however, will feature Mt. Shasta as the backdrop and the symbolic reason for making a wintertime visit. The overriding message is “we’re more than recreation,” Lucero says. “VisitRedding.com is doing a remarkable job of marketing Redding’s outdoor attractions—we’re just adding arts and culture to the mix.” Laurie Baker, CEO of the Redding Convention and Visitors Bureau, says WinterFest has her agency’s full support and cooperation. “We’re limited with people and resources, so we have to spend our time selling the brand promise of Redding, which is outdoor adventure. That has always been our focus. “But once they’re done paddle boarding, kayaking, hiking or whatever they came to do, we want them to get out and experience Redding’s culture. It rounds out what Redding has to offer,” Baker says. When a day spent hiking in Lassen Volcanic National Park or walking on the Sacramento River Trail is capped off with a fine-arts opportunity, Baker says it adds to the area’s level of customer service. “It’s that extra good feeling when people leave. They’ll think, ‘Wow, such a wonderful visit.’ “That’s why the Arts Council is so important and they do it so well. We thought it was a great partnership.” • www.WinterFestRedding.org Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 33 years of experience.

F U R LO U G H F R I DAY S B A L A N C E S J O B S , FA M I L I E S , F R I E N D S H I P S A N D M U S I C EARLIER THIS FALL, the Chico alt-grunge band Furlough Fridays released its second CD, Divided, to a packed audience at La Salles Bar in Chico. “We had one of our best shows yet at our album release party," says bassist Meagan Yates. "The sound was great, the other bands were great. People were moshing and the crowd was enthusiastic.” Never heard of Furlough Fridays? The band hopes to change that in the coming year.
“We seem to be better known in Chico. We have quite a following here, but would like to broaden that,” says Linda Bergmann, lead singer since the band’s inception in 2008. The four-piece group, selfdescribed as “gritty alt rock with crunch and female vocals,” consists of two husband-and-wife couples, with Bergmann’s husband, JP, on drums, and Meagan and Adams Yates on bass and guitar, respectively. The band mates, all between the ages of 30 and 33, met while4 continued on page 24 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 23

students at Chico State University. JP and Meagan met on the cycling team there. Adam and JP both worked at Sears during college. Back in those days, Linda enjoyed singing karaoke and talked Meagan into doing it with her. Ten years and hundreds of performances later, the two couples have three children between them, and have both just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversaries. “It’s a big balancing act with all of us. We’ve gotten through college degrees, pregnancies, having kids. What we really value is having fun and enjoying life, and the band is part of that,” says Meagan. JP is a biologist with Lundberg Farms and Linda runs a business doing photography, videography, media and design – skills that have proved valuable to the band in their promotions. Furlough Fridays has
24 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
been together for more than eight years, with JP joining the lineup about a year ago after their previous drummer moved to Sweden. “We auditioned drummers, and finally realized that JP was the one who could really deliver the sound we wanted,” says Linda. JP had sung and played acoustic guitar in high school. In college, he got interested in composing and programming, and got more into electronics but never had time to be in a band. Further complicating time together as a group is the fact that Adam and Meagan recently moved from Chico to Redding, ending a commute that Adam, a behavioral specialist, had been making to his job in Redding for nearly three years. Meagan, who holds a degree in kinesiology, has worked in Chico as a personal trainer and is an4 continued on page 26

come together in a way that has allowed all of us to produce some of our best work and to develop a strong sense of what we want to do going into the next album. It was a great collaborative effort because of how everyone valued each others’ opinions and helped to make the best decisions,” he says. Says Linda: “We didn’t expect all of this to go very far, but it’s really taken off. We love it. There’s a lot of quirky things about us. What we’d like to stress is that we don’t take ourselves too seriously; we keep things light and fun. And because we’re married couples, we deal with conflict and relationships differently than other band mates might.” And, she says, “Expect to see more of us.” • www.ffchico.com

athlete who participates in downhill bicycling races and mountain bikes cross country. She even found the energy to run a half-marathon in Chico the same weekend as their CD release party. “It’s an added challenge, being a musician and an athlete; there’s a real conflict in lifestyles there,” she acknowledges with a laugh. Furlough Fridays is now moving into a new era, branching out geographically in its performances, expanding its fan base and raising awareness that the new album is available on CD Baby, iTunes and Spotify. “Recording the second album was a much easier and more rewarding process,” said Linda. “We were just talking about how much better our second album is. It’s just the natural progression of things, learning from your mistakes.” Divided was recorded and mixed at a Chico nonprofit studio called Energy Plant, started in 2012 by a couple of new graduates from the recording arts program at Chico State. Blag Ivanov, an audio engineer and producer there, felt the band was an easy fit for him. “I personally have a deep love for grunge and alternative music, so working with them was a natural extension of my own tastes,” he says. Communication was easy between the band and Ivanov. “This has

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO GAZE upon the angelic smile on the face of Molly or the beautifully ribboned mane of Louis T. Lion from the pages of a catalogue. To truly capture the essence of all that is Woof & Poof, one of its stunningly beautiful, highly collectible pieces, designed and handcrafted in Chico, must be taken into your hands, wrapped in your arms and felt with your heart. From its humble beginnings 39 years ago as founder Jacki Headley sewed pillows in her home to a robust product line of more than 200 high-quality home décor items, Woof & Poof has become a nationally renowned company. When Headley lost her fight against brain cancer in
January 2012, her husband, Graham Hutton, couldn’t imagine carrying on in her stead without the unwavering passion she had for a company that she had built from the ground up. “It’s not that the company wasn’t viable. But she was the heart and soul of the company – a visionary – and without her, he didn’t want to carry it on alone,” says Rodger Hart, President and CEO of Woof & Poof. Hart, who owns the business with his wife Sabrina and his sister Sara Gonzalez, took over the company in January 2014. With a commitment to carrying on the Headley’s vibrant legacy, Hart is grateful for what they are bringing to the table.4 continued on page 32
DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 31
“We complement each other very well. My sister Sara comes from a 30-year career in human resource management. Sabrina, my wife, has been a lifelong seamstress and quilter. She really functions as the designer, in collaboration with several of our managers. And my background is in banking and finance,” says Hart. “We have a nucleus of very loyal employees and managers. A couple of the employees have been here for more than 25 years. Several others have been here between 15 and 20 years. They really kept the company afloat after Jacki passed away. We are in a position to carry on a great legacy for her,” Hart says. Hart is proud that in an era in which so many sewn products are sent overseas for production, every Woof & Poof product is completely designed, cut and sewn right here at home, in their factory in downtown Chico. “To have a sewing operation here in California is very unusual. We are committed to our roots here.” Woof & Poof sells its products to more than 600 gift stores throughout the United States, including Nordstrom. At home in Chico, Woof & Poof products can be found exclusively at Made in Chico. Other North State retailers include Discover Earth in Red Bluff and Dandelion and Sugar Plum Kids in Redding. Woof & Poof offers retired products exclusively on its website. From Atlanta to Dallas, from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Woof & Poof receives rave reviews from shoppers at gift conventions. “People will walk by the booth and within seconds recognize that the products are made in America – it’s the high quality fabrics and attention to detail that make them stand out.” If you can’t tell by the impeccable quality or the whimsical style, you’ll know an authentic Woof & Poof piece by the signature button. The buttons, added to many of the items when space is available, gauge the authenticity of a piece and clearly identify what year the piece was created. This sweet characteristic of Woof &Poof products speaks to the attention to detail that Woof & Poof collectors and retailers have come to know and love.

Woof & Poof keeps environmentally friendly processes at the forefront of its vision. The company recently joined forces with ECOSHELL, a local walnut processor that repurposes walnut shells into other viable materials. Woof & Poof uses the biodegradable and environmentally safe ECOSHELL as stuffing for some its products. This alternative to synthetic materials is further evidence of the company’s unwavering quality and consideration for the bigger picture. With product lines for both children and adults, covering virtually every season, Woof & Poof has become a treasured jewel for collectors. The Christmas line remains the most popular amongst Woof and Poof enthusiasts. “There’s just something about Santa,” Hart says. Louis T. Lion has become the sweet, snuggly and courageous ambassador for children battling cancer, blood disorders and other lifethreatening illnesses in Southern California hospitals through a nonprofit organization called Discovery Arts. The program focuses on bringing joy to children through the creation of art. “They found Louis T. Lion and fell in love with him. The organization provides one to many of the children undergoing cancer treatment. We are honored and privileged to be a part of this effort,” says Hart. If you are looking to share some love this holiday season, consider gifting a Louis T. Lion to a child in need by visiting www.discoveryarts. org/the-gift-shoppe.html. • Woof & Poof • www.woofnpoof.com • (530) 895-0693

T H E M A N Y R O L E S O F R E D D I N G ’ S B O B KO R O L U C K BOB KOROLUCK’S DEBUT ON RADIO was somewhat auspicious, considering his first night on the air at Arcata radio station KATA was on a Friday the 13th in December 1973. “I had just turned 21 and I thought radio looked like a lot of fun,” Koroluck recalls. I thought it paid a lot of money and I’d get a lot of girls. I was 0-for-2.” Fortunately for all concerned, his acting career got off to a much more promising start. Back to Redding in 1999 after a disc jockey stint in Hawaii, Koroluck saw an audition notice for the Riverfront Playhouse production of “Harvey.” The theater was on his way to a dinner engagement, so he stopped in, gathered up his courage, read some lines and was offered a role. It had been 20 years since he had last set foot on a stage, but the thrill of live theater returned with a flourish. “It was just a tremendous
amount of fun. I had a great time and kind of got the bug. I think I did two shows back to back, then I went back to Maui and didn’t do anything on stage for five years.” While his theater work was a little spotty during those years, radio work remained steady. After spending “the six longest months of my life” at the Arcata station, Koroluck returned to San Jose to upgrade his radio broadcasting license with the goal of landing a better job. Although he never worked at a station that required that first-class license, Koroluck memorized the answers to 535 questions to prepare for the exam, exhibiting a knack for memorization that would serve him well in the theater. A visit with a friend in Anderson in 1974 gave Koroluck his first extended look at the North State and led to a DJ gig with the popular AM station KRDG, located in the Cascade Theatre. A year later, he4 continued on page 36 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 35

moved to KMBY, “the musical power of Monterey Bay,” but a change in ownership brought that job to an end after three months. Koroluck returned to Redding and again secured employment at KRDG, only this time it was in advertising sales. It’s a line of work he’s stayed with for close to 40 years with detours to Medford, Ore., Hawaii and Southern California. Redding became his permanent home in 2004—“I decided that’s where I was meant to be, so I surrendered to the draw”—and he now sells, writes and produces commercials for KLXR AM 1230. Back in his adopted hometown, Koroluck was a little hesitant about returning to theater after a long layoff, so he sought a small part in the Riverfront production of “Death of a Salesman.” He landed the lead role of Willy Loman, playwright Arthur Miller’s tortured soul who falls short of the American dream. “I was hoping to get my feet wet and ended up with Willy Loman and his 475 lines,” Koroluck says, shaking his head at the recollection. “I was emotionally drained after every performance and absolutely loved it.” An astute character actor with an uncanny ability to quickly memorize his lines, Koroluck became a favorite of directors and routinely started landing choice roles. Some of his favorites include Henry Drummond in “Inherit the Wind,” King Oberon in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Finbar Mack in “The Weir” and, more recently, Tevye the dairyman in the Cascade Theatre production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Koroluck says he enjoys the immediate feedback live theater provides, and the fact that as an actor, “you get to be somebody else. I work very hard to be believable so people will suspend their disbelief and enjoy the story.” Kathryn Kirk, who has shared the stage with Koroluck on several occasions—including as his wife, Golda, in “Fiddler”—says she’s struck by his dedication to his craft. “Regardless of any offstage distractions or good-natured arguments over staging or dialogue, everything is forgotten when you come on stage with him. He is completely in character; he’s never phoning it in. It’s an honor to work with him.” “I am a great admirer of him and I have huge respect for him,” says Lisa Murphy Collins, another actress who has worked with Koroluck. “He is a consummate professional. He has a brilliant mind and it is a joy to be on stage with him.” Darryll Alvey, a friend of Koroluck’s for the past 40 years, credits Koroluck with giving him the acting bug. He says his friend is very supportive of other cast members and determined to portray characters as faithfully as possible. “He’s my definition of a great actor,” Alvey says. He gives each sentence a meaning. Bob has a way of sifting through all that and getting to what the playwright meant with those words. Bob is really good at that.” Koroluck has recently branched out into feature film work with Redding filmmaker Rene Perez and has appeared in “The Dead and the Damned III” and “Prey for Death.” In the latter, Koroluck says he got to fulfill a boyhood dream of being in a Western. •

PICTURE THIS: IT’S A COLD DECEMBER NIGHT, Christmas is near and your family is looking for a way to get in the holiday mood. You make your way to the Glenn County fairgrounds in Orland and are greeted with the largest holiday light display north of Sacramento. The Avenue of Lights, in its 11th year, runs from December 1721, drawing carloads of people into the fairgrounds, allowing them to drive the meandering mile-long route filled with festive, twinkling light displays, some with moving parts, and including the beloved Giant Gingerbread House. Those who enter stay in their cars, dim their lights and slowly take in the lights while driving the route, which can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. At the end, visitors can park and go into the North Pole Lodge, where they’ll find beautifully decorated “theme trees” such as the Humane Society tree, M&M tree, Historical Society tree and Barbie tree. A snack bar includes coffee, popcorn, cider and cookies. An added bonus: it’s warmer in the lodge. “It’s a very exciting, huge community event. It’s quite spectacular,” says Olga Peterson, past Avenue chairperson and member of the Orland Cultural and Historical Society, which sponsors and presents 4 continued on page 40

the light display each year. “It originated with some of us – Marlene Corriea, Carolyn Denton, Doyle Shippelhoute, and I – realizing that the fairgrounds would be a great venue to showcase holiday lights,” she says. “We needed some seed money to get started buying lights, banners and decorations. The historical society was willing to help. We started getting lights at cost from the local Ace Hardware store and even made a trip to Sacramento to get old lights from 1950s shopping centers. They required re-wiring to bring them up to current safety codes, but we got them for a great price.” Diana Trammel, branch manager and vice president of event sponsor Tri-Counties Bank in Orland, says, “It’s wonderful. You pile up everyone in the cars, and there’s so much to see, with something new every year. You can take your kids to see Santa in the North Pole Lodge afterwards. I can’t say enough about it. I think everyone should go.” Merri Caywood is the key route designer, with help from Jo Collins-Tibessart. Shippelhoute is the fair maintenance manager and route engineer. He estimates 2,300 cars go through each year, with Friday and Saturday the biggest nights. “The Avenue of Lights is a wonderful Christmas gift to the community,” says Shippelhoute. Volunteers do all of the set-up, which takes up to three weeks. Says Peterson: “The Avenue itself could not be put on without the incredible help of volunteers from the community: clubs, organizations, school groups (the Orland FFA) and individuals, young and senior.” Joanne Overton, a long-time society member, acts as one of the route watchers – volunteers who make sure people stay in their cars. “It is a wonderful sight, absolutely marvelous; it’s grown every year. It started out small, and every year they add something. People give up their time during this very busy time of year and they should be commended for that,” she says. Other displays include reindeer on top of buildings, animated showcases, swans, snowman snowboarders, patriotic themes, giant wooden snowladies watering a garden by the Friendly Garden Club members, five nativities including a live nativity scene by 4-H with animals and actors, Cowboy Christmas angels and much more. It’s the perfect event to get everyone in the holiday spirit. • Sue Ralston is a freelance writer who enjoys life in the North State, especially the wonderful weekend destinations nearby.

A SEASON TO SHINE H O L I D AY B E A U T Y T I P S A N D T R I C K S
IT’S ALREADY THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN— winter weather, holiday parties and many other indulgences that leave you looking and feeling more like Santa Claus than Santa Baby. In this age of selfies and social media, how can you ensure you are looking your very best?4 continued on page 44 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 43
It all begins with skin. I hate to sound like a broken record, but hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! How much water you should drink varies, but we all know that sometimes we don’t drink enough. Water does more than quenches our thirst; when you are hydrated, it shows though in your skin.
Ever wonder why a child’s skin looks lit from within, even in the depths of winter? Children don’t have a thick layer of dead skin cells sitting on the surface. Exfoliate! Sweep away flakes several times a week with a gentle rotating brush. And quench your skin like you quench your thirst with a heavier moisturizer (try Olay Definity Night Restorative cream). If you’re acne prone, use an oil-free formula loaded with hyaluronic acid. And if braving colder climates, shield skin with an ointment, such as Aquaphor, for a barrier against wind and cold. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom can help. There are even mini travel versions so you can keep one at work. All that pumped-in air does nothing for our skin, so put that twinkle back in dry, red eyes.
Speaking of red: festive pouts unite! This is definitely the time of the year to rock a red lip, even if you usually “go nude” every day. There truly is a red for everyone, and nothing perks up the face like a pop of color. Sweep a black line across the eyelids, some mascara, and you’re good to go. RED BREAKDOWN: For fair skin with cool, pink undertones, go for a raspberry shade; medium-light skin can do a pinkish red, dabbed on with fingers; medium-golden skin can try a “true red” (Rimmel London Kiss of Life); a deep berry will add warmth to a golden skin tone. Olive, meet orange. A tangerine shade will make you look like you just stepped off the beach. For dark complexions—lucky you—Mac Ruby Woo looks amazing.
44 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
Prep skin by trying one of the new primers, such as L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Moisture Blur. They instantly blot out pores and wrinkles and smooth skin for foundation. Mix one part luminizer, two parts foundation for an extra glow. And “pinch your cheeks” with a liquid, cream, or gel blush, which morph into your perfect shade (try Benefit Posie Tint). What about from the waist down? For those of you who don’t like to indulge in a spray tan, try mixing a little foundation and shimmer lotion to your legs for a “liquid stockings” effect. Here in the North State we can wear pretty much anything we want year-round, so no need to hide those gams. A touch of shimmer makes legs look flawless (try Mac Strobe Liquid).
And finally, have fun with some color. Black is not the designated color of winter. There are plenty of vibrant hues to make you look and feel festive. If your skin is fairer, go for hot pinks and blues. More olive or golden? Go with warm oranges and yellows. Enjoy the holidays this year instead of stressing over your appearance. The selfie will become your friend, not foe. #nofilter necessary. • Melissa Gulden is a teacher with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

The Best Way to Spread
Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
—B uddy the elf
DECEMBER SNOW FLOATS IN small flakes in the dark evening as the angelic strains of Christmas singers move through the silent night. The windows of the building glow with a warm soft light as a crowd sits together watching. The eyes of the singers follow in unison the graceful arm motions of director Greg Eastman, as the Mount Shasta High School choirs deliver their annual Candlelight Concert against the brisk cold air of the mountain community. Eastman’s musical journey began on Friday nights as he grew up. His grandfather, a fill-in guitarist for the Sons of the Pioneers, would come over and his brother would play drums as his dad played the ukulele. Eastman’s fingers would roll over the piano keys while songs and laughter4 continued on page 48 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 47

filled the room. He would perform in church, joining the high school bands and choirs at McCloud High School. As college approached, Eastman balanced his love of music against a degree in pre-medicine in order to become a veterinarian. “My music teacher took me aside,” he says. “He counseled me to go into pre-med as I didn’t have enough musical background for a degree in music. That sealed it for me; I chose a major in musical education.” With an emphasis on trombone, Eastman discovered his teacher knew him well. The music program at Pacific Union in the Napa Valley was rigorous. “The dean took me aside, acknowledged the difficulties, but gave his freshman student a year to catch up and prove himself,” Eastman says. Four years later he held his degree and a job, given the opportunity to be the teacher at the Pacific Union Preparatory School, working with high school students. After six years, Eastman and his wife, Sandy, moved back to McCloud, teaching where he had once been a student. Five years later, he took over the baton at Mount Shasta High School, where he has been for 21 years. The Mount Shasta program boasts extraordinary numbers for a music program. The average high school sees 15 percent of its students in music classes. Eastman’s program is filled with 70 percent of the student body of 340 students. Eastman says, “A mentor told me, get the quarterback in the choir and you’ll never lack for students.” He coached three sports, drawing students into his classes. “I even challenged students to play basketball and if I won, they had to join choir.” In an era where many schools are losing their music programs, Mount Shasta’s is finding tremendous encouragement. “The Mount Shasta Education Foundation has provided for 70 percent of the equipment we use,” Eastman says. “The community backs the arts.

Also, from the our first date 38 years ago, my wife Sandy has been an amazing support and rock.” Eastman has his worries. “In six years, I may retire,” he says. “I look at the end of every rehearsal and I’m less likely to blow off time. Summers seem long. I fear I’m not going to have enough time to introduce my students to all the great music.” This year, on December 7, is the 15th annual Candlelight Concert. All of Eastman’s vocalists will be there, including the class he now teaches at Weed High School. “It began as an excuse to not sing in the gym,” Eastman says. “For the first four years we gave a single performance at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Highway 89. Now, we have to give back-to-back performances at 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm, just to fit everyone in.” Music is a passion for Eastman. “Music is one of the few activities that stimulates all the brain. Students learn to be confident and interface with others,” Eastman says. “Few of these students will go on to careers in music; however; they are changed by taking these classes.” As his students are quiet, looking over their test in music theory, Eastman remembers a conversation with his mentor, 22 years prior. “My mentor said some things you can’t change, but attitude isn’t one. When I’m gone from here, I want to be remembered for the positive attitude I left behind.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt.

[BY THE]
LETTER W R I T E R ’ S P R O F I L E : M A R G E RY M c A L E E R SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON IS NOT A PLACE one would imagine a young girl growing up happily. But then again, author Margery McAleer was not like most young girls. When her father, Lt. Dan Coughlin, founded the innovative San Quentin Prison Athletic System, McAleer was living with her family on the prison campus. In 2009, at age 85, she published Doing Time in “Q”, a part autobiographical/part fictional story of her father’s dream to take prisoners out of their cellblocks and onto the field for self-betterment.
at the time. The prisoners were so outraged they went on strike, banging their tin plates on the bars. The next day, it was announced that it would be named Coughlin Field. They created a bronze bust of my father, but when I was there in 2004, the bust was gone and there was no history of the field or program mentioned in the museum. They have also changed the name to Field of Dreams.
Enjoy: What are your memories of growing up in San Quentin? McAleer: Wonderful! Isn’t that strange? When we were there, our cook and our gardener were prisoners but I thought of them as relatives. This was the ‘30s and early ‘40s when a lot of men were sent to prison for stealing during The (Great) Depression. A lot of them were family men, so they loved us kids.
Enjoy: Have you always been a writer? McAleer: Yes. I love to write. I got accepted to UC Berkeley in 1942, but my parents didn’t have enough money for the tuition. The war broke out and instead I got a job. After moving to Northern California and living in the wilderness around Mt. Shasta, I started working on Doing Time in Q.
Enjoy: What prompted your father to begin this program? McAleer: His favorite sport was boxing and he always remembered the bonding. He thought it would help with the racial conflicts and it was his way of getting more humane treatment for the prisoners. Every weekend he would drive over to San Francisco—which was not a short trip then; you had to take a boat—where he went to a baseball game or the boxing matches in the evening to try and get equipment contributions. This went on for years. He met Joe DiMaggio at one of the games in San Francisco and later (Philadelphia Athletics Manager) Connie Mack. Both took an interest in his program and offered support. Bringing sports into a prison was unheard of at that time and the governor spoke against it many times, saying, “We can’t afford it.” At first the idea was a shock, but the publicity helped and it caught on. Enjoy: There is an interesting story about naming the prison’s athletic field… McAleer: They wanted to name it Duffy Field, after a famous warden
50 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
Enjoy: Besides honoring your father’s contributions, you had another goal in writing the book. McAleer: At any time, someone can come along with an idea that makes a difference. My father did something that at one time was considered impossible. He took one step but there are more steps to be taken.
Enjoy: You have a new memoir in progress? McAleer: Yes, it’s called San Quentin Quail: A Girl’s Life in Prison. I have many fun memories, like getting locked out of the house and the gardener opening the door with one of my mother’s hairpins. Enjoy: Do you have any advice for budding writers? McAleer: Sit amidst other writers. It’s exciting and you meet interesting people. I miss the writers’ conferences. In 2010, when I was in New York City and Richard Patterson spoke, I almost mistook his limo for mine. • Doing Time in “Q” is available at Enjoy The Store

F I F T E E N M I N U T E S W I T H P E T E S L AV I N O F FA C T O R Y M AT T R E S S O U T L E T A N D C O T T O N W O O D S T O R A G E SO, TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, PETE: I was Irish born and I came to this country in 1949 at 12 years old. I was here only two weeks and I began working in a small variety grocery store. That was the beginning of a long trek in the grocery business - 16 years, in fact. From there I graduated into the retail bread business. YES. A LITTLE BIRDIE MENTIONED THAT YOU HAD BEEN ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF OROWEAT BREAD. In Houston, Texas, in 1972, I went in cold turkey and put Oroweat on the map in that area. They had already been long established as a bread company, but not in Texas. We worked 7 days a week, 15 hours a day. It took about a year for it to happen, but we were able to create about 10 routes in Houston. It provided Oroweat with enough money to build a bakery in the Fort Worth area that provided bread for the entire state. After the establishment of the business in Houston, I needed a break, so I went to Las Vegas and took on a bread route. I worked with Zobrist Brothers, a family-run local distributor that handled brands like Wonder Bread, Oroweat, Laura Scudders and Hostess. The owner had built close relationships with all of his clients, so much so that when Wonder Bread itself tried to open a distributorship there in the area, Zobrist Brothers said, “No way. You can try to become a distributor here, but if you do, you won’t have any shelves on which to stock your product.” WOW. QUITE A WIN FOR A LOCAL BUSINESS. Yes, it was. Zobrist was able to hold off Wonder Bread itself by letting them know that they would not be pushed out of town by a biggerbox store, even though Zobrist was the distributor for Wonder Bread products. It kept a can of worms from being opened in Vegas. If that big business had been successful in infiltrating that market, imagine what other businesses would have been able to do the same. It showed respect for all of us who worked with Zobrist Brothers. It’s kind of a slur to just call someone a “bread man.” We were more than that. We didn’t just deliver stuff. We were salesmen. We wore a shirt and tie, slacks and polished shoes, as if we were going to a party. You
had to go and talk to managers. You had to establish new business. We were always growing. You can’t just fall asleep out there. As you grow, you are also bringing in business for another human being. SO, WHAT CAME NEXT? When I decided to get out of the bread industry, I went back east for a while. I ended up back in Vegas where I worked for Glazier Brothers. They supplied the valley with cigars, cigarettes, candy and sundries. I remember them asking me, “What makes you think you can do this?” I asked them, “What makes you think I can’t?” WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE NORTH STATE? I got married to the woman I live with now. We wanted to raise our kids in an environment that was safe. We wanted them to have exposure to not just the city, but to country living. The lake, you know. I’m very pleased to be here. YOU OWN FACTORY MATTRESS OUTLET AND COTTONWOOD STORAGE. HOW DO YOU MANAGE BOTH BUSINESSES? We’ve run the storage business since 1985. We have 318 storage units. In 1986, I started out with one queen mattress from Square Deal Mattress, a company that has been making quality mattresses since 1920. And the rest is history. We’ve served thousands of happy customers. SO, THE STORAGE BUSINESS AND THE MATTRESS BUSINESS ARE HOUSED IN THE SAME BUILDING? Yes. The warehouse is our showroom. I can always tell what kind of customer it is when they come up the driveway. The slow drivers are the ones buying mattresses, and the ones driving at a normal pace are the storage customers. The mattress shoppers are usually a bit confused when they first drive up. It’s not a traditional retail location. People often think they are in the wrong place. But we are very hands-on, “how are you doing” kind of people. If they buy a bed, we give them a jar of jelly made by my wife, and that seals the deal. You’ve got to give something back or you are doing it wrong.4 continued on page 56
DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 55
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS YOU WORK WITH LOCALLY? I’m the bed guy for the Good News Rescue Mission and some other local care facilities. I do a lot of repeat business, as the mattresses in some of the locations need to be replaced every five to six years. I’ve really gotten to know the heartbeat of the community. I get to touch lives through the storage and bed businesses. WHAT DO YOU LOVE BEST ABOUT YOUR WORK? Meeting the people and filling their needs. You are not just selling a bed, but something that will enhance their health and their life. The mattresses are two-sided, so that means double the value. Everybody gets a square deal, no matter what happens.

What should you know for the 2014 – 2015 Influenza Season
It is impossible to predict what this flu season will be like. Flu season is unpredictable, constantly changing and can vary from season to season, but it most commonly peaks between December and February. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. There are many different flu viruses. The seasonal flu vaccine is designed to protect against the main flu viruses that research suggests will cause the most illness during the upcoming flu season. The CDC recommends to become vaccinated soon after the vaccine becomes available, preferably by October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against flu viruses. If you receive the vaccine, you are 60% less likely to need treatment for the flu. It has been shown that vaccination offers substantial additional benefits including reducing illness, unnecessary antibiotic use, time lost from work, hospitalization, or even death. American Indian and Alaskan Natives and people with serious medical conditions are at high risk. Not everyone with the flu will have a fever. You can be sick and contagious without running a temperature. Pneumonia and
flu are the leading cause of death among Native elders. If you are 65 years of age or older check with your primary care provider about receiving the pneumonia vaccine. There are additional steps you can take to keep yourself and your family healthy this influence season. Wash your hands often with soap and water, avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth and cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing as this is a common pathway for germs to spread. Try to avoid contact with people who have flu like symptoms. Flu signs and symptoms are usually limited to: fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Life is a delicate balance. If you are sick with influenza like symptoms and have a fever, stay home for at least 24 hours or until your fever is gone. If you have a fever, you should wait until your fever is gone before getting a flu shot. However, you can get a flu shot if you have a respiratory illness without a fever, or if you have another mild illness. The nasal spray flu vaccine can be given to people with minor illnesses. If you are not better in 24 hours contact your primary health care provider.

If those negative thoughts do come into my mind, I evaporate them quickly. I can say “no” to a nasty thought in a minute! I don’t allow what I call “monkey mind” to invade my thoughts.

Extraordinary Seasons
B
aby’s first smile, first step, first word… these are developmental milestones that families celebrate. Just like the scarlet and gold changing of the fall leaves, the white sheen of frost or snow blanketing winter mountains, milestones are dramatic, outward indications that your little one is progressing through seasons of child development. Your child will acquire skills gradually. You have to roll over before you can sit up, babble and coo before you talk, walk before you can skip and run! It’s true - just like snowflakes, every single child is unique. Every baby, every child, may not grow and develop according to a set schedule, but their development progresses much like the seasons - spring to summer, summer to fall, fall to winter. Typical early childhood development, including brain development, follows a general sequence and it is important for parents to be aware of progress or any possible delays. It’s fun and helpful for parents to keep track of milestone achievements. It can be in a baby book, on a chart, or even in a notepad or on lined paper. Throughout your child’s seasons of development, be sure to keep up on well child doctor visits, making sure your child’s health and development are on track. If you are concerned about your child’s progress, your pediatrician or family doctor can give you expert advice. The more parents learn about child development, the more realistic their expectations will be for their child’s early abilities and behavior. It’s a lot less frustrating to understand baby’s cry as a cue. “I’m hungry,” “I’m sleepy,” “I want to play,” or “Help! I’m wet!” This nonverbal language lets you know your child needs you. Increasing your knowledge of child development will help you interpret these cues and continue to communicate with your child as s/he grows. Some great places to learn about child development are www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones and www.zerotothree.org/child-development.
Does your child’s development seem absolutely extraordinary? That’s because it is! That tiny hand that once grasped your little finger will advance in the course of a few years to a chubby hand grasping a pencil and writing her own name. No matter how your child’s developmental milestones roll out, each and every one is cause for celebration. First 5 Shasta is building a pathway to success for young children ages 0-to-5. 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.

MANY FAMILIES ARE DRAWN to Lassen National Forest this time of year by the promise of a fresh, fragrant, cut-your-own Christmas tree. Linger a little longer and you can engage curious young minds in one of nature’s most fascinating outdoor classrooms. Head over to Lassen Volcanic National Park, which you can access in two main ways: Via the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center from the southwest, or via the Manzanita Lake Entrance Station from the northwest, about an hour east of Redding on Highway 44. From the
Manzanita Lake entrance, bundle the kids up for a stroll around one of the most picturesque spots you’ll find anywhere. The ice-cold lake sits in the shadow of snowy Lassen Peak, and if you hold still long enough, you might spy birds skimming along the water’s surface or deer dashing through the snow (though the only red-nosed creatures are likely to be your kids).4 continued on page 60

Even if you don’t spy Rudolph’s comrades, never fear. You’re sure to discover a lava rock that’s shaped like a heart, or a piece of bark that looks like puzzle pieces. Perhaps one of your young companions will inform you that the carpenter ants crawling on that bark feed on dead insects, or that the tree over there only has moss growing on the north side “so Mother Nature can point you back to civilization” (your results may vary).

Volcanoes and hydrothermal sites tend to be the stars of the show in Lassen, and the park’s location at the crossroads of the Sierra Nevada, Great Basin and Cascade ranges makes it an ideal place to check out some geological magic. Youngsters are tickled to discover that the rocks that dot the landscape came blasting out of the surrounding volcanoes many decades ago, and the park’s fumaroles, mudpots and boiling pools are always a hit.4 continued on page 62
Winter weather does close down some of the park’s amenities. Lassen Crossroads near the Manzanita Lake entrance closes for the winter, but in the spring, you’ll find colorful, informative displays with titles like “Wildlife Watch,” “Watery Adventures” and “Encounter History.” A matching game challenges visitors to match written descriptions with 13 types of igneous rocks—“lava rocks,” your young companions may inform you—in the adjacent garden. Geologists-forthe-day can then try to find those rocks while they’re wandering around the park. See a creature, flower or rock you can’t identify? Take a picture and end your day with a trip back to the visitor area and try to match the photo with the images on the display boards. Always check road conditions before heading out—roads are often closed in the winter due to snow, though parking and access is available even when the park’s main road is closed. Weather conditions vary, so review safety tips with your family, and don’t rely on cell phones— coverage is spotty in the park.

It’s never a bad idea to bring along a sled or snowshoes if you have them, as well as layered clothes, hats, gloves, an insulated container of hot cocoa and a picnic lunch (and don’t worry if you’re not a fan of the cold—you won’t be the only ones enjoying a picnic from inside your car). Back at home, after you unload that Christmas tree and toss all of the soggy scarves, socks and hats into the dryer, you might feel like you’ve spent a day learning alongside some of the world’s cutest, most inquisitive students in one of the world’s most beautiful classrooms. Just don’t call it homework. • www.nps.gov/lavo

THIRD WAVE —C O F F E E — S L O W B R E W C O F F E E B A R AT E N J O Y T H E S T O R E R E D B L U F F WHETHER YOU TAKE A SEAT AT THE WINDOW overlooking Main Street, set up at a table in the back, or belly up to the custom-made bar, Kate and Brandon Grissom hope you’ll stay for awhile to enjoy some conversation at their new slow brew coffee bar at Enjoy the Store Red Bluff. “We wanted to create a space that was more of a gathering place,” Kate says of the latest addition. The space has caught on well as a wine bar serving the fruits of Manton’s Cedar Crest vineyard. Now conversationalists and coffee aficionados have a place to gather in the mornings and afternoons. The slow brew bar features alternative brew methods which maximize the flavor profile of single-origin coffee beans locally roasted by Heritage (Shasta Lake City), Scout (Redding) and Northbound (Mt. Shasta City) Roasters. A fresh pot of Northbound’s popular Spoonbender roast is always available for people who want a quick cup on the run.4 continued on page 66 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 65
But if you have some extra time and would like to linger with friends (or hole up alone to write a letter or dream in a journal), let the baristas brew you a cup via a pour over, Chemex, Aeropress or Syphon method. They will take a little longer to prepare, but the results offer unique tasting experiences. “Using the same beans, different brews open up different flavor profiles,” says Stuart Sutherland, director of Heritage Roasting Company. “It’s an art and a science,” he notes as he carefully weighs out coffee beans to grind and then times their contact with water through the brew process during a training session. Sutherland spent two days in September teaching Enjoy the Store’s Red Bluff staff to become baristas. In the Third Wave of coffee, of which the brew bar is a part, emphasis is put not only on knowing how to brew a great cup of coffee, but also on acknowledging the country of origin of the beans and the farms at which they’re grown. “These beans have been cared for and loved,” says Kate, noting that they have been kissed by honeybees during a two-day bloom, hand picked, hand sorted, carefully packed and shipped to the North State and then lovingly roasted by people she considers friends. “There’s a great responsibility in making a great cup of coffee.” Kate and Brandon are new to the world of Third Wave coffee, “but we know it’s a culture we want to be around,” she says. “We’ve become so conditioned to taste strong, dark, black coffee. We’re having so much fun learning to taste the fruit.” “Enjoy is a unique place,” she adds. “It’s always been our desire to create something that is not mainstream.”
66 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
Storytelling has been integral to the Enjoy brand from day one. Just as Enjoy stores offer up the stories of local artisans, designers and agricultural producers, so too does the slow brew bar reveal the stories of those steeped in the local coffee culture. “It feels like an opportunity to align the local roasters and showcase them,” says Kate. “These are the type of people I want to be around,” she adds, rattling off qualities of the roasters at Northbound, Heritage and Scout that she appreciates. Passion. Authenticity. Helpfulness. Integrity. Commitment to community. For the roasters, the appreciation is mutual. “Our vision for community is very similar,” says Sara Sutherland, cafe manager at Heritage Roasting Company. “Coffee is a unique culture and it’s really exciting to have that culture growing in the North State.” Fear not if you don’t yet know your Chemex from your Syphon brews. The staff is there to explain, just as they’ve learned and are continuing to grow in knowledge. The coffee and the slow brew bar experience are there for your enjoyment. Great coffee guaranteed. Stories encouraged. Pull up a chair and linger awhile. • Enjoy the Store Red Bluff • 615 Main Street (530) 727-9016

THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS, an Oakland-based band, got their start playing for audiences commuting by train. The band has come a long way since vocalist, guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynski and drummer and washboard strummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland BART station, but the band has stayed true to that organic, street-level feel. Says Wierzynski: “I look at the time we spent playing in the train stations as the most important part of building the foundation for the music we are performing and recording today. It’s important to tap into the good spirit of music along with playing it well.” The band likes to get off stage and perform close to audiences. “We’re very rooted in the collective
experience, the street performing and New Orleans style of presentation,” he says. “Or even a church experience, where everybody is there singing together. And in terms of what we play, you can hear a little bit of everything that we like, which ranges from Ray Charles to Louie Armstrong, Sly and the Family Stone to Robert Johnson. It goes all over the place and I think that what brings it all together is that we focus on having a special experience with each crowd we play for.” The son of Polish political refugees who was raised in Chicago and Washington, D.C., Wierzynski was exposed to a wide range of musical influences. “When my dad was growing up in communist Poland in the ‘40s and ‘50s, old American music was illegal but very cool,” he says. “He passed on the love of old stuff 4 continued on page 70

to me. What got me playing the trumpet was my dad’s love of the music of Louie Armstrong. When I got the choice of choosing an instrument in elementary school, it was foremost on my mind. The trumpet is loud and has a lot of vocal quality. I can really make it talk, which continues to make it fun to play.” He later had to assimilate into modern American society, he says. “I loved all the popular stuff on the radio, especially hip-hop and R&B,” he says. “Initially, it was just a way of fitting into things, however, it broadened into a love of music in general.” When Wierzynski was ready to combine all his influences into one cohesive sound, he formed the California Honeydrops with the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards and Beau Bradbury on bass. They’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support his songwriting and vocals. “We started out recording a homemade demo with a piano player that I knew from doing R&B and soul gigs,” explains Wierzynski. “We brought him in and recorded this thing, got a gig at a pizza place which funded one of our albums through a fundraiser. That got us launched to another level and we kept growing. We went from tub bass to acoustic bass to electric and acoustic to mostly electric. The sound has evolved into a very original thing that I don’t hear any other bands doing right now.”
70 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
Gathering steam, the Honeydrops have taken their sound all over Europe, to featured slots at such premiere festivals as Monterey Jazz and High Sierra, along with performances supporting B.B. King, Dr. John, Buddy Guy and Allen Toussaint. “We just sold out a couple of shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco, which is really an exciting milestone for us: Having all of our Bay Area fans together, who have come to so many of our smaller shows over the years, showing up in one historical venue like that one. It was a celebration of our success over the last few years with folks that love our music so much.” Their latest CD on Tubtones Records is Like You Mean It. The 13-track compilation has soul, jug band, and rhythm and blues with uplifting, graceful and passionate songs from beginning to end. • California Honeydrops Dec. 5 Lost on Main, Chico (530) 223-2040 • www.LostOnMain.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.

HORSE TRAINERS, LIKE ANYONE ELSE IN BUSINESS, HAVE A FEW ESSENTIALS OF THE TRADE: a well-worn saddle, a set of reins that feel right in the hands, perhaps a lucky cowboy hat or pair of boots. For Gerber's Andy Adams, a passport gets as much use as anything. Adams, 51, is internationally renowned in the world of cutting horse competitions. He rattles off a list of titles: horse trainer, clinician, National Cutting Horse Association Judge, National Reined Cow Horse Association Judge and fence builder with a knack for gates. “Between the judging and the clinics,” he says, “it takes a lot of my time.” Which is to say, he hasn't built much fence recently. And how could he, with a schedule that has him in Sweden for weeks at a time three or four times a year, or off to places like Brazil, Poland, Australia, Canada, Italy and Germany? There are also domestic events, such as the prestigious National Cutting Horse Association Futurity in Fort Worth, Texas, where he serves as an elite judge and top prize is $250,000. “It’s a very refined equine sport,” Adams says of cutting. “It’s the only equine sport of any equine sport where you have to keep your hands down. You cannot use your hands. And there’s a cow involved.”4 continued on page 74

CRAFTS
| BY JENNIFER HIGHET
CRAFT IT C R E AT I V E C H R I S T M A S P R O J E C T S
THESE FUN CRAFTS will help you celebrate one of the most beautiful times of the year.
THE GRINCH DIDN’T STEAL CHRISTMAS! This craft will take a few hours to allow the paint to dry. YOU WILL NEED:
YOU WILL NEED:
• 3-4 pounds gumdrops • 2 foam balls, 4and 6-inch • 1/2-inch wooden dowel • Flower pot • Foam block and handful of rocks • Paint and decorative ribbon • Hot glue gun • Rubber gloves (optional)
GUMDROP TOPIARY TREE Time spent: About 3 hours. 1. Make a hole through the center of the largest ball with the dowel, piercing the top. Do the same with the smallest ball, but do not puncture the top. 2. Glue gumdrops around the hole you’ve created, making sure not to cover it. Work your way out from there. Gloves will help keep your fingers clean while handling the candy. 3. Repeat this action with smaller ball. 4. Paint the dowel your chosen color. 5. Paint and decorate the flower pot. 6. Glue foam block to the bottom of the pot. 7. Place rocks (or other weighty items) inside the pot. 8. Place the balls onto the dowel and plant firmly into the foam. Add more weight to balance if necessary. 9. Optional: Wrap a colorful Christmas ribbon around the dowel between the balls. 10. Cover the foam with tissue paper, dried moss or even gumdrops.
• Grinch and Max images to copy • Lime green paint • Brown paint • 2 paintbrushes • 2 light bulbs • Golden pipe cleaner • Miniature Santa hat
• Miniature ornament • Brown felt • Black permanent marker • Scissors • Hot glue gun • Optional: Red, yellow and white paint for the artistically inclined!
1. Paint one light bulb green, the other brown. This may require several coats and a bit of drying time. 2. Once dry, use the permanent marker to carefully draw the Grinch’s face onto the green bulb. If you mess up, it’s OK! Paint over it and start again. 3. If you have artistic skills, you can paint the whites of the eyes and make the Grinch’s eyes yellow and red. Or you can keep it simple and just use apermanent marker. 4. Draw Max onto the brown bulb. 5. Cut ears for Max out of the felt, glue in place. Fashion pipe cleaner antlers, or use antlers from another ornament; glue in place. 6. Hot glue the Santa hat around the top of the Grinch’s bulb. 7. Tie a ribbon or string onto Max’s bulb for hanging. Stitch a ribbon to the top or side of the Santa hat to hang the Grinch. 8. Place on tree and enjoy!4 continued on page 80 DECEMBER 2014 ENJOY | 79
VINTAGE BULBS This project will take about an hour per bulb. YOU WILL NEED: • Matches • Mod Podge • Paintbrush • Festive scrapbook paper • Spray bottle or shallow saucer filled with water • Clear glass bulbs
1. Cut your paper into rectangles and squares. 2. Burn around the edges of the paper to antique and distress the edges. This should be done safely inside a fireplace or outside. 3. Wet the paper. This will make it more pliable and help it adhere. 4. Apply Mod Podge to the glass and press your first piece in place. Not all edges of the paper will want to lay flat, so hold for a moment until it stays in place. 5. Continue to apply other pieces in the same fashion. (Washing hands between applications may be helpful.) 6. Each time a new piece is applied, go back to the older pieces and work down the edges that are not lying flat. 7. Once the ball is covered, balance in a small cup to allow it to nearly dry. 8. As it is curing, press down any stubborn edges with dry, clean hands. 9. Once dry, if you are satisfied with the sheen of your bulb, you are done! Or you can apply additional sealing layers of Mod Podge or gloss spray. 10. Attach an ornament hanger or ribbon and hang on your tree.
These ornament projects can be repeated each year to increase your collection. Consider adding the year to each item (perhaps with permanent marker) to preserve a bit of family history. • Jennifer Highet is a North State native and an avid crafter.

BILLY +PATRICK The Photography
of Stephen Datnoff by Billy Pilgrim Steve Datnoff
Billy Pilgrim
I met Stephen Datnoff on a bus on the Muni shuttle to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco. We struck up a conversation immediately, mostly about what to expect at the world’s biggest Americana music festival, but also on the intricacies of navigating the back roads of Shasta County via motorcycle. I was fascinated by his appearance and wanted to have my picture taken with him, but he got off the bus before I did and disappeared into the crowd of 300,000 people. Many hours and several acts later, Stephen serendipitously emerged from the sea of humanity and said, “Hey, this was a really good show!” And I got my picture with Stephen, and a window into his beautiful photography. Stephen Datnoff is one the great unheralded and uncredentialed photographers on the West Coast, and has lived in Hood River, Ore., for the past 35 years. He is a storyteller and interpreter. He uses simple cameras: Rolleicords from the ‘50s and ‘60s and a Deardorff 5x7 camera. He also uses digital technology. He strives to have each of his photographs studied by the viewer, and for the viewer to not ask how it was done, but why? He strives to not do what other photographers have done: He waits for the picture to come to him. I am so lucky to have met Stephen Datnoff, and I am proud to feature his work in Enjoy. You can find more of his brilliant work at www.datnoff.com. •

ENJOY: How did you begin making handmade, organic soaps? DEBBIE: I love making all that I can from scratch. I believe homemade is the best, and the best for my family. I began with a neighbor teaching me how to make soap from rendered down tallow for the oil and water. My family also struggled with eczema and sensitive skin and was looking for more natural products. The soap is now made from organic olive, palm and coconut oils which have been great for our skin - no more eczema and no more skin irritations. ENJOY: How did this evolve from a personal need into a business? DEBBIE: I just loved making soap and seeing the whole process from start to finish, so you can imagine, I had more soap than my family could possibly use. When I moved to Redding, I had some customers encourage me that I had a really great product and I should go into business with my soap. I then got my business license and started making more. I also participated in local events like Roses & Rust and craft fairs, and I began selling in retail stores such as Enjoy the Store and Country Organics. The sales continue to grow. ENJOY: What are the benefits of a product without additives? DEBBIE: The product is actually benefiting your skin and not drying it out, causing allergic reactions or other intolerances to your body. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and everything that it absorbs goes into your bloodstream. Thus, you only want the good stuff, all natural, going into your body so that you can live a healthy, balanced life.
ENJOY: Who is your typical customer? DEBBIE: My typical customer is a person looking for a quality product that will benefit their health, whether it be from soap, natural lip balms, organic sea salt scrubs, massage oils or body butters. ENJOY: What are the benefits of essential oils? DEBBIE: Essential oils are natural oils from plants that can be used for aromatherapy. For instance, lavender is calming and lemongrass is invigorating and lift your spirits. Peppermint is used for nausea and infections, and eucalyptus can be used for muscle aches and joint stiffness. By using them in soaps and other products, I have found that essential oils have helped me and others with headaches, sore muscles and nausea. ENJOY: What is your philosophy? DEBBIE: I believe in living simply, enjoying life to the fullest and becoming who God created you to be. Many times we are overextended and life can be complicated. One way I simplify my life is that I use my soap for different purposes. It is used as soap in the shower and at the sink, laundry soap, stain remover, shampoo and for washing dishes. Living simply ... one day at a time. • www.theessentialolive.com

DOING THE MOST GOOD “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” ~ John F. Kennedy
THE SALVATION ARMY captain in San Francisco had resolved, in December 1891, to provide a free Christmas dinner to the area’s poor people. But how would he pay for the food? Suddenly, his thoughts went back to his days as a sailor in Liverpool, England. He saw a large pot, called “Simpson’s pot,” into which charitable donations were thrown by passers-by. The next morning, he secured permission to place a similar pot at the Oakland ferry landing, at the foot of Market Street so it could be seen by all those going to and from the ferry boats. A brass urn was placed on a stand in the waiting room for the same purpose. Thus, Capt. Joseph McFee launched a tradition that has spread not only throughout the United States, but throughout the world. By Christmas 1895, the kettle was used in 30 Salvation Army locations on the West Coast. The Sacramento Bee described the Army’s Christmas activities, including the street corner kettles, and two young Salvation Army officers took the idea with them when they were transferred to the East Coast. That year, donations provided 150,000 Christmas dinners for the needy nationwide. 102 | ENJOY DECEMBER 2014
In 1901, kettle contributions in New York City provided funds for the first mammoth sit-down dinner in Madison Square Garden, a custom that continued for many years. Today, donations to Salvation Army kettles at Christmastime support holiday meals for homeless and needy families, but also help The Salvation Army serve 30 million people through a myriad of other services all year long. These include disaster response services; food, shelter, clothing and financial assistance; casework and counseling; youth services; senior centers; Christmas programs; and human and sexual trafficking advocacy in Washington, D.C. In the United States, kettles at Thanksgiving and Christmas help make it possible for The Salvation Army to do the most good possible for 30 million people each year.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Donate food, clothing, furniture and household items to a Salvation Army store. Become a monthly supporter, make a one-time donation, give a honor/memorial gift, donate an auto or airline miles, volunteer to be a bell ringer. Learn more by visiting www.salvationarmyusa.org. •
