editor’s note march 2018
IT’S BEEN ONE OF OUR MANTRAS since we took that leap of faith and launched Enjoy Magazine – the sky’s the limit. How true those words have proven to be. A handful of Shasta High School students are exploring that concept in a very literal sense. These innovative teenagers, guided by nationally acclaimed educator Brian Grigsby, are building a satellite that they’ll soon launch into space. How many students can put “space communication” on their college applications? You’ll also see stars at the 10th annual Sundial Film Festival. We’ll tell you how some Cottonwood youngsters partnered with peers in Ireland to create a film that they’ve entered in this year’s contest. Meanwhile, some local entrepreneurs may have you starry-eyed when you sample their handcrafted spirits. We took a tour of some North State distilleries and sampled
some fantastic libations from their small-batch operations. Stretching beyond what we ever thought possible is one of the most rewarding feelings in the human experience – and it’s a daily achievement at Washington Street Productions in Red Bluff. Participants are processing through numerous challenges as they learn not just work experience skills, but the soft skills that the best employees have. We tend to brag about the mountains, lakes and rivers that contribute to the North State’s beauty, but sometimes we forget to look up. Our open spaces create plenty of ideal spots to admire the celestial scenery, and March is an especially interesting time for the night sky. Full moons, blue moons, planets in alignment – make a date to spend some quality time under the stars. The sky is indeed the limit – so enjoy!

my town
Christine Haggard Community Organizer Shasta County Health & Human Services Agency
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: A SMALL TOWN WITH A COMMUNITY FEEL‌ As a lifelong Anderson resident, I am proud to say I have raised my children in this wonderful community and my grandchildren live here with my great-grandchildren, who are fourth-generation residents. I feel fortunate to live, work and play in this awesome community. I especially love the small-town feel, and value all that there is to do here in Anderson and the surrounding region. Family is a priority to me and the opportunities we have here are fabulous. I have family members who have created a thriving business. The community’s support for local business makes this happen. We also have many opportunities to get outside and enjoy nature. Anderson River Park provides for us a variety of resources, such as river access and walking, biking and equestrian trails. There are also places at the park for families, friends and groups to gather, play and enjoy entertainment. What is there not to love about this regional treasure? Another thing I love about living here is the way the community comes together to make Anderson all that it can be. A collaborative spirit encourages people to pull together to find solutions and overcome challenges to create a safe place. Anderson values family, has economic sustainability and is building on its assets. It is truly a place where the residents care about each other. Together we celebrate Anderson. We look forward to the future – innovating while remembering our roots and nurturing a small-town feel.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY LAURA CHRISTMAN
blast off S AT E L L I T E B U I L D I N G W I T H S H A S TA H I G H S C H O O L S T U D E N T S
SHASTA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS are building a contraption that’s slightly bigger than a can of dog food with circuit-board innards, skinny antennae and a covering of wafer-thin solar panels. The plan? Launch it into space this summer, and then use receivers mounted to a building at the Redding school to track the small speedster as it repeatedly races by on its 90-minute Earth orbit. “We’re a bunch of high-schoolers building a satellite,” explains Shasta High senior Hannah Blum. “This is incredibly unique,” science teacher Brian Grigsby says. “Most of the teams on the launch manifest are from either universities or large aerospace companies.” The satellite is an on-the-side undertaking, not part of a class or providing any extra credit. Senior Nathaniel Stack says that’s actually a plus. “We are all here because we want to be here.” Some 15 students are involved, working during lunch, after school and sometimes on Saturdays. The $10,000 project is funded by a slice of a large state grant Shasta
College received to strengthen pathways in the region from high school to college to industry. “This is one of the most incredible things I’ve done,” Grigsby says. And he’s done incredible things. He was part of a NASA expedition to a Chilean volcano, worked for NASA’s Mars Exploration educational program and established Shasta High’s distinguished robotics program. In 2014, he earned National Space Cub’s Space Educator Award. Satellite building is something new for the Shasta High alumnus and his students. “It’s a steep learning curve for all of us,” Grigsby says. “I tell them: ‘I am maybe a half-step ahead of you, and in some cases a little bit behind you.’” He encourages students to figure things out on their own. It’s OK if an idea doesn’t work. “Failure is part of life, and you can learn quite a bit from it,” Grigsby says. The satellite, KnightWolf (from Shasta College Knights and Shasta High Wolves), will be blasted into space as4 continued on page 22

part of a payload of TubeSats – small satellites in metal tubes – sent into orbit by Interorbital Systems. The company in the California desert town of Mojave offers satellite kits and launch services for commercial, government and academic ventures. KnightWolf ’s mission is to measure temperatures and magnetic fields, and transmit the information. “Seeing something so small, and it can do so much. That’s what’s really cool about it,” senior Taylor White says. Measurements gathered by the satellite, which has a two- to threemonth lifespan, will contribute to the body of information about lowEarth-orbit conditions, Grigsby explains. He plans to tap into the expertise of a friend at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab on the data. The satellite kit contained solar cells, a battery and electronic components. It was up to the students to figure out how to construct and instruct their satellite. Creating the circuitry has been complex and exacting. Components – pencil-tip tiny – must be placed precisely. “You have to solder and make sure the pieces are exactly right,” says sophomore Colby Huskey. “The experience of this will definitely help me. I want to go into some sort of engineering.” The project involves coding and testing. Sof-Tek Integrators, a Redding manufacturing company, is helping review the circuit boards. Amateur radio comes into play too. “The satellite is going to get up there and spin around the Earth. If it couldn’t talk to us, it would be like launching a rock,” says Shasta High music teacher Lou Polcari, a ham radio enthusiast and advisor to the school’s amateur radio club. In the club, students learn about electronics, radio frequencies, communications and regulations. The satellite project is a chance to add space communication to skill sets. Senior Benny Quiroz, who hopes to go into physics or astronomy, earned an amateur-radio license last year and is part of the satellite project. “I like the idea that the antennae array, a little activity here at Shasta High, will communicate with a satellite.” Redding is far from Silicon Valley’s high-tech companies and culture, and Grigsby says he sometimes encounters an attitude about the North State of: “What could possibly be happening up there?” Don’t underestimate Redding students, he says. “Kids here are rich in talent and academic prowess.” The students working on the satellite are experiencing science – gaining skills in building and problem-solving, as well as leadership, he says. “I really hope they walk away with a sense of pride,” Grigsby says. “They did this. They are putting something into space – part of a small group of people who have put something into space.” •
Isaac Sorrells works with a prototype of KnightWolf, a small satellite that is being built at Shasta High School in Redding to be launched into space by Interorbital Systems.
Shasta High School students, from left, Nathaniel Stack, Colby Huskey, Alex Flores and Hannah Blum work on the circuitry for the satellite that will collect data on temperatures and magnetic fields in low orbit.
Taylor White is part of the team of students at Shasta High who are building the satellite. Students work after school, during lunch period and on some weekends.

“
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE LIVING A LONG TIME TO CREATE A DEPTH AND SOULFULNESS IN YOUR MUSIC.
”
BONNIE RAITT
WITH A CAREER spanning nearly a half century, 10 Grammy wins, and an induction into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Bonnie Raitt is one of the most successful artists in music today. “I grew up in a very musical household, with my mom playing piano all the time for my dad’s rehearsals,” says Raitt, the daughter of Broadway singer John Raitt. “So there was a role model for me, with my dad singing these great Broadway scores. Him being a Broadway star was a great gift for us to be able to see what that world was like. And the message of playing music and getting paid for it, doing something that you not only love, but that doesn’t even seem like work, was not lost on me. I must’ve tucked it away and then remembered it when the opportunity came years and years later to play music for a gig.” After picking up the guitar at age 12, she began feeling an immediate affinity for blues music. “I learned off of records, as many of us kids did.
I had taken piano, but not guitar lessons. So I tried to emulate how Fred McDowell, Son House and Robert Johnson played. There wasn’t any YouTube then, so I had to do it by ear. I taught myself countryblues guitar off of records that didn’t even include women, but I didn’t think about it at the time. Dave Van Ronk, John Hammond, Jr., and Koerner, Ray and Glover were the first people I heard who made me realize it was OK to be white and play blues, and that you weren’t trespassing on hallowed ground.” She enrolled at Radcliffe in 1967, but within two years she had dropped out to begin playing the Boston folk and blues club circuit. She signed with well-known blues manager Dick Waterman, who arranged for her to play gigs with the likes of blues notables like Howlin’ Wolf, Sippie Wallace and McDowell.4 continued on page 26 MARCH 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

In 1971 with her first recording, she emerged as a critical favorite with blues fans, applauded not only for her soulful vocals but also for her guitar expertise, turning heads as one of the few women to play bottleneck. As she explains, “The electric guitar will sustain a note, especially a single note, much longer than an acoustic will. And when you play slide, which is so much like a human voice, you can work the amplifier and the overdrive. So electric guitar, for me, has the raunch and the beauty that more openly reflects the range of emotions I want to get when I’m singing and playing.” With 1977’s “Sweet Forgiveness,” she scored her first significant pop airplay with her hit cover of the Del Shannon classic song “Runaway.” Signed to Capitol Records for nearly 20 years, the “Nick of Time” LP in 1990 was her first big crossover hit, receiving three Grammy Awards, plus a fourth for her duet recording with John Lee Hooker. Raitt is also known for her lifelong commitment to social activism. She has been involved with the environmental movement, the safe energy movement and a range of peace and social justice issues, regularly incorporating many benefit concerts into her schedule. “My folks were Quakers,” she says. “We were very much involved in helping people that were getting a raw deal, from war zones, conflicts of some kind, hunger. The whole dream of world peace was something I grew up with, and justice as well. The civil rights and the ‘Ban the Bomb’ movements were the first early participation I had. I’ve always believed in trying to get people to sit down at the table. And the ‘60s, of course, had all the social justice and the feminist movement and the back-to-the-country and cleaner food and saving the environment – all of those issues became really important to me, as well as getting out of the war in Vietnam. I was part of the generation that was very motivated about that. “Music is a great thing to do for a living and I enjoy it,” she adds. “But to have the power base and the money I now have, then not use that for good causes, is not why I’m here. I was raised to think I was here to make things better, not to be a user.” •

THE HUMMINGBIRD fascinates people. A tiny flyer seems to appear out of nowhere, hovering impossibly near flower or feeder. All eyes focus on its all-too-brief spectacle, blurred wings holding frozen flight, accented by flashes of color. A wobble forward, a quick sip, then suddenly the bird is gone, zipped away faster than the speed of sight. “Actually, they fly about 30 mph,” notes Shasta Lake hummingbird enthusiast Elijah Gildea. “Their wings beat about 70 times per second, or 200 while diving.” One early April morning last year, Gildea hosted in his backyard a photography class specifically aimed at the hummingbird – or at scores of them – pursued by a dozen or so hopefuls with cameras. The plan was to catch a decent image of tiny birds visiting any of nine feeders Gildea had set up to lure them to his students. “Hummingbirds are creatures of habit,” says Gildea. “They’re famous for remembering the location of their food source. If I move a feeder, they’ll come and flutter around looking for it before going to another one.” Photography students scattered out into the yard, most taking up watch near a feeder. The wait was short, with some stations visited within minutes by hummingbird flocks comprised of multiple species. Gildea can list six different types of hummingbirds his students might see in his backyard, including Anna’s, Allen, Rufous, Calliope and Black-Chinned. Referring to his birder friends, he adds, “They

didn’t believe me until I showed them the pictures, but I see Costas here. They’re not supposed to be up here, but they are.” Beginning shutterbugs were content to wait for a bird to perch before pressing the release button; advanced shooters tried to catch their quarry on the wing, panning the sky between feeding stations. Gildea prowled the yard during the photo class, answering questions, suggesting camera settings. “Lately I’ve tried having a higher F-stop to get more depth,” he says. “A lower F-stop gives you a nice blurred background, but parts of the hummingbird can be out of focus.” Also circulating among the students was Dwayne Brovan, Crown Camera’s assistant manager. He made sure everyone with a Nikon camera had a chance to shoot with a $1,400 Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 zoom lens he brought from the store. He also tried his luck with the tiny birds zipping around. “I shot burst of eight, and I got a picture of one on a perch,” he says. “I got one other with some tail feathers. Like any kind of nature photography, if they don’t want to cooperate, it’s hard.” Shooting them on the wing was the biggest challenge. Hummingbirds can move up, down, away or straight at you without warning. There wasn’t often time for autofocus. With any luck, one would swoop into a photographer’s pre-set focal field and he or she would hit the shutter before it left the frame which, more often than not, it did.4 continued on page 30

This year marks Gildea’s fourth annual class taught through Crown. As it was last year, instruction will be broken into two sessions: an evening class Friday at the store for an introduction to the challenge ahead, and the field class in the backyard starting the next morning at dawn. Gildea’s enthusiasm for hummingbirds recently grew to the point where he plans trips specifically to see more species. “I have traveled to Costa Rica, Mexico and Arizona,” he says. “They have these canyons in Southeast Arizona that are tropical certain times of the year. It’s one of the most popular birding spots in the world.” He’s looking forward this month to a tour in Columbia, excited especially for a chance to see a hummingbird variety called the rainbowbearded thornbill. “From its breast all the way up to the top of its head, it’s got a bright orange mohawk,” he says. “I’m also hoping to see 25 other species that are new to me.” He’s always loved the natural world, stating, “I enjoy documenting nature and being able to share it with others. I just appreciate and respect nature. It amazes me.” •
Gildea’s says his love for nature – and for birds in particular – came early in life while growing up in coastal Humboldt County. Later in life, he visited Lake Shasta and discovered bald eagles living there. After moving to Shasta Lake City, he decided to get into some serious photography and contacted Crown Camera in Redding for equipment and classes on how to use it. He was delighted to find hummingbirds in his backyard, and set up feeders to accommodate them. “When I put up a feeder, more hummingbirds came,” he says. “I put up a second feeder and even more came. It became more and more work.” But it allowed him access to the six species of tiny Elijah Gildea Photography • (530) 356-5388 Sign up for classes Friday, April 20 and Saturday, visitors, and he learned with growing fascination the April 21 at Crown Camera, 1365 Market St., Redding details of their lives, such as their acrobatic feats of (530) 243-8333 flight, their fights and their courtship dances.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY AL ROCCA
PAT R I C K R A N C H M U S E U M I N D U R H A M JUST ASK ANYBODY in the Chico area, “What’s the best place to see and hear about Northern California agricultural history?” and the answer is invariably the Patrick Ranch Museum. The ranch, a few miles south of Chico, originally comprised more than 600 acres of almonds and walnuts, Butte County’s two leading crops. In 1958, William and Hester Patrick decided to live on the property, which had been in the family for a number of years. The Patricks built up the property, turning it into one of the most productive ranches in the vicinity. With William’s death in 1981, family members split up the land, leaving 29 acres to Hester. She later donated the estate to the Far West Heritage Association.
Today, the ranch museum includes the 1877 Glenwood Farmhouse, Visitor Center and Gift Shop. The farmhouse has undergone major renovation, and people taking the tour can see Hester Patrick’s antique furniture and numerous period artifacts. Renovators made careful selections, duplicating appropriate wallpaper, throw rugs, windows and doorframes. The kitchen layout of cook stove, pantry, cooking utensils and table arrangements all provide an idea of what it must have been like to prepare food on a working ranch. The well-manicured grounds invite guests to explore the large twostory home. A wide, prominent front porch is perfect to relax and4 continued on page 34 MARCH 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

scan the ranch. Today, the grassy area in front of the home is the site of local weddings and other events. One interesting environmental aspect is the use of an underground geothermal heating and cooling system. Large-diameter pipes bring 65-degree air from a nearby field, and a retrofitted ducting system distributes the cool air throughout both the ground floor and upstairs bedrooms. A separate building contains the agricultural exhibits. Museum docents change these displays regularly and offer informative views of local almond and walnut production photos, historic tools and written documents. Collections include nutcrackers, knives, hammers, cameras, dishes, quilts, pottery, cowbells and all sorts of farm tools. Housed in the same building is the Gift Shop. Almost exclusively stocked with handcrafted products created by local artisans, items purchased here help keep the museum operating and the grounds maintained. Local docents greet visitors and answer any questions they might have. Expansion plans include construction of a Vintage Iron exhibit barn, a blacksmith shop, large bee museum and learning center. The complex of exhibits will focus on “teaching the history, habits, habitats and a love of bees.” Plans call for a working observation hive to allow visitors an up-close look at the queen bee, drones and workers. Another part of the building will display beekeeping equipment. Interactive learning centers will let young and old explore the world of bees. The museum is open most Saturdays and Sundays. A wide variety of public events are held throughout the year, including the California Nut Festival in spring, annual Country Faire and Threshing Bee in June, annual ice cream social in August and Autumnfest in October. • Historic Patrick Ranch Museum • 10381 Midway, Chico (530) 342-4359 • www.patrickranchmuseum.org

GROWING —A N D T H R I V I N G — WA S H I N G T O N S T R E E T P R O D U C T I O N S I N R E D B L U F F CHERYL CARTER knows that the first day of work for each new cohort at Red Bluff ’s Washington Street Productions brings employees with more than first-day-ofwork jitters. While often excited, many are also processing through domestic violence, anxiety and isolation. Some may have a hard time stepping into the building itself. Carter also knows that the compassion, structure and activity found at Washington Street Productions offers healing, instruction and guidance that can help them move through their barriers. The subsidized employment training program is operated by the Job Training Center in partnership with Tehama County Social Services to help CalWORKs recipients
become ready for the workforce. “They get great work experience skills, and those soft skills,” says Carter, the program supervisor. “They get art, which is really healing.” The training is structured in 30-day cohorts with around 15 participants in each, who enter upon referral by Social Services. The 30-day intensive finds participants creating a variety of products for sale at monthly open houses which showcase the work. “What really works for us is that shabby-chic, farm home, distressed look,” says Carter of the effort to find what the public will buy. “Even the nautical look has to be distressed.”4 continued on page 38
MARCH 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net
37
For many entering the programs, finding an ability to create within the program is a matter of rebuilding their selfesteem. “Nine times out of ten, what I’m seeing is that they just don’t feel that they’re worthy enough,” says Carter. “This is a really vulnerable population that we’re working with.” One issue the program helps combat is the lack of social network upon which to rely. “If you’re sick and you don’t have back-up daycare and you have literally no one you can trust to keep your kid, you’re going to miss work,” says Carter. Within the cohorts, participants begin to develop these supportive networks that allow them to problem solve. With a background in social work and behavior modification, Carter works patiently and steadfastly to build skills and confidence in her team members. “We don’t expect them to be the perfect employee day one, week one,” she says. “We expect growth.” Referencing the member who refused to walk through the door his first few days, she says, “By the end of the week he was coming to work every day and on time. Typically, in a workforce program you would just let them go.” When employees do well, they may be enrolled into a six-month program as leads. “My leads have to be really on point,” says Carter. “One of my leads had a rocky start. I had him twice as a 30 day. But he eventually got his dream job. I saw him the other day and he was so happy.” He even texted her on Thanksgiving, grateful for her role in his success. “The person that he was at the very beginning was completely different from the person that he was at the end. I had a hard time seeing him go, but I knew his opportunity was good for him,” she adds. The program has relied on community donations of raw materials. “The people who know what we’re doing and
38
www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2018
care what we’re doing are really lifting us,” says Carter. An opening appeal for donations two years ago brought in leftover concrete mix, paints, art supplies, used furniture that could be distressed and redone, fabric and much more. The program opened in November 2015. Just as important as the donations are the customers who promote the monthly sales and champion the efforts. Some ask for employees to sign their work, which elevates the sense of accomplishment. Washington Street Productions takes custom orders and has built benches for a wedding and refurbished a customer’s grandmother’s chest of drawers. They’ll create decorative tables and are happy to customize a favorite saying onto their popular motivational signs. Monthly sales, typically the last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each month, are announced via Facebook, as are the latest creations by employees. “This is a field I absolutely thrive in,” says Carter, who has clearly found her own niche in the workforce. “I love watching people grow. You meet people and they’re stuck. Watching them work their way out of that and supporting them is an amazing experience.” • Washington Street Productions 946 Washington Street, Red Bluff • (530) 690-5653 Find them on Facebook

Mountain R E T R E A T S H A S TA C A M P I N S I S K I YO U C O U N T Y IT ALL STARTED back in 1947, when a group of hardy Methodists who’d been camping out in the forest below Castle Lake began building a permanent camp. Soon there would be lodges and meeting halls and bathrooms, all built by volunteers, at the new Shasta Camp. Today, the camp – five miles up a steep road from Lake Siskiyou – boasts 80 campsites, a lodge with room for 18 visitors, and a spacious, high-ceilinged pavilion suitable for weddings and family gatherings. Over time, the camp’s visitors have expanded well beyond the original core of Methodists to include Boy Scouts, 4Hers and researchers from UC Davis and the University of Nevada at Reno studying the hydrology and biology of Castle Lake. In recent years, Shasta Camp has attracted spiritual seekers influenced by Native American practices, “Vision Questers” who sit in the camp’s sweat lodge and go out in the woods to meditate and pray. Twice a year, a group of retired Methodists, at least a dozen of them, show up in their RVs, roll up their sleeves and go to work painting, splitting wood, doing whatever needs to be done. They
created the camp’s entire water system and still help maintain it. “They’re the camp’s angels,” says Cedar Moss, a former camp host. Electric power at the camp comes from recently installed solar panels. For backup, especially in the winter months, there is a propane-powered generator. Wood stoves are used for heating. There’s not much going on in the camp in the winter, not with up to 12 feet of snow and nighttime temperatures in the single digits. But since the early 1990s, the camp has been maintained year round by resident hosts who tough it out in the winter, dealing with cracked water pipes and making the one-hour trek on snowshoes to reach their vehicles parked alongside the main road. Winter hosting up there is not for the faint of heart. At least one building has collapsed from the weight of the snow. When the host’s cabin burned down one winter due to a gas explosion, he was found wandering around in the snow in a stupor, clinging to a pet cat that had survived the disaster. 4 continued on page 42 MARCH 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

David Moss, a retired United Methodist minister who until recently hosted the camp with his wife, Cedar, has memories of digging through eight feet of snow to reach the shutoff valve for a cracked water pipe. It wasn’t unusual for them to have to wait a week for the main road to be plowed, so the couple made sure they had plenty of canned and dry goods on their shelves. But David says he “reveled” in the heavy snows and harsh winters. “It energized me. I loved the challenge of it,” he says. Cedar looks back fondly on their trips up to Castle Lake, where they could listen to the ethereal sounds made by the lake’s shifting ice. “It was like the lake and the mountain were singing to each other,” she says. Now that she and David have moved to the more temperate climes of the Sierra foothills, she says she misses those bracing but beautiful winters. For the past year, David’s brother, Chris, has been the camp host. He moved there from Ohio, so he’s used to harsh winters. Chris has a background in contracting work and has become the camp’s all-around handyman, building a deck, filling ruts in the road leading to the camp, cleaning bathrooms. The benefits for Chris include a “super change in scenery” from the flatlands of Ohio, more peace and quiet, and a healthier lifestyle: He’s taken up hiking and lost 40 pounds. Chris also brings some fresh energy and ideas to the host position. For one thing, he’s hoping to attract more visitors in the wintertime by putting in trails for cross country skiers and snowshoers, and offering those staying in the lodge a snowmobile “taxi service” up to Castle Lake. • For information on rates for campsites and lodge rooms, contact Chris at (530) 408-8752.

CALLING
“IT’S MORE A CALLING THAN A JOB. WE HAVE EMPATHY AND AN APPRECIATION FOR THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF LIFE, AND THAT INCLUDES THE DEATH EXPERIENCE.”
The last steps of life’s journey are filled with a whirlwind of emotions for patients and their loved ones alike. When families are faced with a life-limiting illness, Dignity Health continues its mission of compassionate care by providing hospice services, allowing patients to stay where they’re the most comfortable – right in their own homes. “It gives the family the ability to provide care in a way they can’t in a more acute care setting,” explains KC Clark, a clinical supervisor for Mercy Hospice. “They can focus on living until the very end. Our focus is living – it’s not dying.”
“You matter because you are you, and you matter to the last moment of your life. We will do all we can not only to help you die peacefully, but also to live until you die.” —Dame Cicely Saunders (1918-2005), founder of the hospice movement Hospice nurses help patients manage their symptoms so they can spend their final season of life with dignity,
surrounded by their loved ones, and experience a death without suffering. In addition to providing medication and skilled nursing care, hospice provides emotional and spiritual support for the patient and family members, help in planning for legal and financial needs, respite care, bereavement support and much more. The hospice team includes nurses, doctors, social workers, chaplains, home health aides and volunteers. “Each discipline is able to bring their unique perspective to the table for that family,” Clark says. “It’s more a calling than a job. We have empathy and an appreciation for the entire process of life, and that includes the death experience.” People can qualify for hospice when they no longer seek curative treatment and their life expectancy is estimated to be six months or less. This decision is usually made jointly between the patient, his/her family and the doctor. One elderly patient enjoyed some nostalgia while in hospice care. “He said, ‘This is like when I was a kid and the doctor would come to the house.’ It’s an old-fashioned model where the medical attention comes to you at your home,” Clark says. “We certainly have an understanding of the body changes that occur and how to provide comfort and relief as those changes occur physically, but also to give that emotional and spiritual support that is needed. We are very aware of the challenges and issues that everyone involved is experiencing, and we provide whatever relief and support we can.”
IT’S ABOUT LIVING TO THE FULLEST, TO THE END.

OPPORTUNITIES When my husband and I divorced I was pregnant and only had a high school education. I relocated to Red Bluff to stay with my mom while I participated in the Welfare to Work Program. I knew it was entirely up to me to take care of my family and an education was the best way to do just that – so I enrolled at Shasta College. My first semester at Shasta College was solely at the Tehama campus, for which I am grateful. I had agreed to take on my biggest challenge from high school – algebra! After being out of school for 15 years I was terrified, but I took it with a supporting lab and I stayed in my seat until all of the work was done. I understood it clearer and quicker than I thought was possible! After that first set of classes, I knew I could do the next round. I had an educational plan that I didn’t intend on backing down from and I slowly made my way through the nursing prerequisites with a 4.0 GPA. In 2016/17 I was awarded CARE Student of the Year for my academic record, volunteer efforts, and positive attitude. After some good advice from nurses and the staff at Shasta College, I changed my degree to Microbiology. This was a tough climb, but the harder the courses became, the more determined I was to meet the challenge and to get high marks! Now, thanks to the help and support I received at Shasta College, I am a very happy transfer student pursuing my goals at Chico State.

A N A LY Z I N G L A S E R S W I T H R E D D I N G ’ S D ATA R AY IT’S NOT UNUSUAL for parents and children, spouses and siblings to work together in the family business. That’s why Kevin Garvey moved to Redding, anyway – to work with his mother and father, Joy and Steve Garvey. In a sense, the Garveys are just like any other family that works together, except how many families can say they’re in the laser business? When people think of lasers – if they’re cool, anyway – they probably imagine elaborate space battles or impenetrable security systems, a la Mission Impossible. So for laser beam profiler Kevin Garvey, his profession probably becomes the hot topic of every cocktail party conversation, until he admits that no, that isn’t exactly what DataRay Inc. does. So are people usually crestfallen to discover Garvey doesn’t work in a mad scientist’s lab full of laser beams? “Pretty frequently, yeah,” Kevin says with a chuckle. Though Kevin neither confirmed nor denied that DataRay Inc. could in fact make a laser gun (probably because he wasn’t asked), he does admit that people often ask just what it is DataRay Inc. does.
“We develop, build, and sell instrumentation that provides analysis of lasers, giving information about the intensity of the distribution of light,” Kevin says. DataRay Inc. builds a variety of products, boxes that could pass as cool, stripped-down digital cameras, and Joy confirms: “We have cameras and detectors behind slits.” Those cameras receive the laser, Joy continues, “and we have software that analyzes the laser.” In other words, the Garveys build products that profile laser beams, measuring wave lengths and size, and analyzing whether a beam is a pulse or continuous wave. In short, the Garveys measure the technology that often does the measuring. Which is why, says Kevin, “you want to make sure that your laser is working and looks the way you would expect it to.” “We have a customer who manufactures equipment that’s used in Lasik surgery, so they have multiple beams, and in this case they provide the lasers that are used for surgery on somebody’s eyes. So it’s important for their customers that the beams are calibrated properly.” 4 continued on page 48

Whatever they’re used for, the fact is that lasers can be found just about anywhere. Garvey says laser beam profiling is a niche market, “but if you can pick any industry, somewhere in the supply chain, there’s going to be photonics,” which is the science of light, “whether it’s fiber or optics.” Garvey’s brother-in-law, Rocco Dragone, agrees. “There are very few things that you can think of that don’t involve lasers at some point,” he says, whether it’s virtual reality or self-driving cars. “For the average person, though, it’s pretty esoteric,” Kevin says. How did the Garveys get into the laser beam profiling business? “I got involved in optics early, back in the early ‘80s,” says Steve, who worked in HP’s research labs. Seeing the need for laser beam profiling in a growing market, he and his wife Joy started DataRay Inc. 30 years ago. In 2009, Steve and Joy moved the business to Redding from Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and were soon followed by son Kevin and daughter-in-law Natalia, daughter Melinda, and son-in-law Rocco Dragone, who all work with the company. The Garveys admit there isn’t exactly a booming laser business in Redding, but they love the city they call home.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2018
That Redding doesn’t have a particularly bustling laser industry isn’t an issue, though. “We sell all over the world,” says Joy. While we might entertain a science fiction fantasy about lasers, the truth is they can perform fairly mundane tasks, like scanning your purchases at the grocery store. But even though the Garveys and their company’s equipment is used with lasers of all kinds, they still solve problems that are unique. “We sold to a couple universities that are doing pretty cutting-edge research, and one thing I found very interesting,” Dragone offers, “is they were using a laser in combination with a needle, basically using a fiber optic cable to do brain surgery.” On top of working with university and medical clients, DataRay Inc. provides laser solutions for many large corporations all over the world. In a sense, then, a small family business is helping innovative, world-renowned companies navigate into the future.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAYLA ANDERSON
Growing spirits N O R T H S TAT E D I S T I L L E R I E S O N T H E R I S E LIKE THE RISE IN BOUTIQUE WINERIES and craft breweries across the country, Northern California is experiencing a boom in small-batch specialty distilleries. Featuring handcrafted spirits made with local, organic ingredients and a whole lot of passion and love, here are a few North State spirits that stood out on a recent NorCal distilleries tour: FIRST STOP: Hooker Oak Distillery, Chico www.hookeroakdistillery.com SPECIALTIES: Rum (pineapple, vanilla, apple pie and original) NAMED AFTER: The Hooker Oak trees native to Chico This rum-only distillery is the product of lifelong friends John Martin and Billy Ahumada, general contractors from Paradise who decided to start a new venture together. Although successful in construction, the pair went off and built a still using a boiler made out of a 15-gallon Sierra Nevada keg bought off Craigslist and some parts from Ace Hardware. They toured distilleries across the United States, and found a location to build their new business, set in an old dilapidated building on the verge of being torn down. Martin and Ahumada renovated the building and started making their specialty rum. “They took this on as a side project and chose rum because it’s the most free spirit available. It’s easy to make apple moonshine, so we added juice, more spices, and let it rest in French oak wine barrels,” says Tasting Room Manager Dylan Rowe. In tasting the different flavored rums, the apple pie is so much like the actual dessert that the rum part is pretty subtle. The pineapple version is smooth and sweet, like a Disneyland Dole Whip with a strong hint of alcohol. Made with whole Madagascar vanilla bean, the vanilla rum tastes organic and pure. HOOKER OA K DIS APPLE PIE A LA TILLERY: MODE 1 part Hooker O ak Apple Pie Rum 2 parts cream so da Combine in a shaker with ice and shake for seconds. Strain 30 into a glass over ice until two-th full. Top with cr ir ds eam soda and en joy. “If you haven’t ha d an Apple Pie and Cream Soda then you haven’ , t lived,” says fo rmer Hooker O Intern Reed Om ak ohundro.
SECOND STOP: Jewell Distillery, Blue Lake www.jewelldistillery.com SPECIALTIES: Gin, Big Buddha Citron, Pacific Moonshine NAMED AFTER: Michael and Barbara Jewell Michael and Barbara Jewell have owned and operated several kinds of businesses over the last few years, but opened this distillery together in June 2016 after friends gave them rave reviews on their homemade experiments. “We leapt off this cliff, but going from a hobby to a commercial endeavor was a big challenge,” Barbara says. An acquaintance gave Michael a still used during Prohibition and he procured unused fruit from friends’ crops. He started making fruit brandies and moonshine, then searched for the perfect recipe for gin. The Jewells finally found it in a basket of 13 different botanicals and a proprietary juniper berry blend. “It’s got some intensity, but with a little ice it’s glorious to drink,” Michael says. The Big Buddha Citron came soon after. “About 10 years ago, my friend showed me the Buddha’s hand. I didn’t think we could do anything with it because of its very unique taste,” Michael says. However, it turned out to be one of Jewell Distillery’s exceptional offerings. Barbara says “the proof is in the pudding” in what they’ve created and the couple won’t sell anything that they don’t drink themselves. “It’s our name and reputation right on the bottle, so it has to be the best.”4 continued on page 52 RY: JEWELL DISTILLE N COCKTAIL RO IT C HA BIG BUDD simple syrup 1 part Buddha’s hand tron 1 part Big Buddha Ci ter wa 1 part soda

THIRD STOP: Alchemy Distillery, Arcata www.alchemydistillery.com SPECIALTIES: Boldt Clear Whiskey, Genever-style Gin NAMED AFTER: Alchemy Construction Company Located in the industrial part of Arcata, Alchemy has operated as a successful construction company for the past 20 years, but Amy and Steve Bohner also love bourbon and decided to pursue that passion out of their existing space. The couple took a year and a half to build out a distillery in their warehouse as a side project, while researching how to make spirits and finding a still, oak barrels and equipment. “We were scared to death to do anything without a permit, so we did a training in Chicago and at Moonshine University (in Kentucky) and learned on this still that we use today,” she says. Starting their first whiskey batches in 2015 and opening to the public in early 2017, the Bohners are adamant about taking care of the Humboldt farmers and buying products as local as they can. Alchemy pays extra for local grain so you can taste the Humboldt flavor come through in its gin and whiskey. While it’s odd to see a clear whiskey and a brown gin, Genever-style spirits are known to have a malt base, causing a darker color. As basic as it gets, there are only four ingredients in its whiskey: water, grain, yeast and liquid enzymes to help starch conversion. “I’ve never worked this hard in my life and have never had this much fun,” Amy says. 52

FOURTH STOP: Humboldt Distillery, Fortuna www.humboldtdistillery.com SPECIALTIES: Vodka, spiced rum, and Humboldt’s Finest cannabisinfused vodka NAMED AFTER: The county where the spirits are made Humboldt Distillery is the brainchild of Abe Stevens, a Fortuna native who has had a variety of different careers before coming back to his hometown to open a distillery. As the first distillery open to the public in Humboldt County in 2013, Abe released an organic vodka widely recognizable by its unique labeling, yet now Humboldt’s Finest – a cannabis-infused vodka – is all the rage. “Being from Humboldt, people hinted to put the ‘local flavor’ in our spirits,” Abe says. “We couldn’t ignore consumer demand, so we came up with Humboldt’s Finest, which won double gold in the San Francisco World Spirits competition. It has a subtle taste, mostly in its aroma,” he adds. Humboldt’s Finest is worth a taste to judge for yourself, and is THC-free, legal in all 50 states. 4 continued on page 54

FIFTH STOP: Dutch & Dewey Distillery, Blue Lake www.dutchanddeweydistillery.com SPECIALTIES: Farm Horse Vodka, Limoncello di Pacifica, coffee liqueur, dry gin NAMED AFTER: Jeff St. John’s grandfather’s horses, Dutch and Dewey
UP-AND-COMING NORCAL DISTILLERIES: Denny Bar Company, Etna www.dennybarcompany.com SPECIALTIES: Boulder Peak Vodka, Laust Sparrow Gin NAMED AFTER: One of the first retail chain stores built in California in 1880
Spending his former life as a metallurgical engineer in the aerospace industry, Jeff St. John learned how to make equipment that could distill zinc and disc drive lubricants to keep a computer running smoothly. However, working in a clean, sterile environment was a direct contrast to his Pennsylvania farming heritage, and Jeff found himself itching to get back to his roots. Jeff and his wife migrated to Northern California, eventually settling in Blue Lake, which was best suited for making brandy. “We moved to Blue Lake in 2005 and it took us a year to haul horses, farm equipment and repair the roads,” Jeff says. He ran his first batch of vodka out of a 17-foot-high stainless steel piece of equipment that he built himself, followed by his creation of a limoncello, coffee liqueur and gin using different methods. Emitting a natural, organic, farm-to-table feel reminiscent of his grandfather’s success decades ago, Jeff has vivid memories of his grandfather giving him advice on how to maintain a sustainable farm. “In 1940, sustainability wasn’t a fashionable thing to do, but it was the only way to survive,” Jeff says.
Opening a distillery in their hometown of Etna is a dream come true for owners Sparrow Tang and Cole Laustalot. After graduating from Etna High School and going off and doing their own thing for a bit, the longtime friends reconnected and decided to pursue building a distillery together. “They had all been experimenting with spirits over the last year and a half, and attended Moonshine University in Kentucky,” says Marketing Manager Lance Banks. Using a 300-gallon copper pot still, 4-plate whiskey column and 10-plate vodka columns bought from Idaho, the pair recently created the Boulder Peak Vodka and Laust Sparrow Gin and officially opened their doors in early 2018.4 continued on page 56

Almendra Winery and Distillery, Durham www.almendrawinery.com SPECIALTIES: Monkey Face Gin and vodka NAMED AFTER: Their line of spirits are named after the famous Monkey Face Rock in Bidwell Park Located right outside of Chico on 9275 Midway, Almendra Winery and Distillery originally started in 2001 when the Bertagnas planted their first vineyards by their home in Chico. As the winery expanded, Berton Bertagna came upon an abandoned still in a nearby field that was originally shipped over from France before Prohibition. Once in Bertagna’s possession, he and his team spent two years polishing and rebuilding it and eventually retrofitted the 500-gallon tank to create a more efficient heating process. After getting it functional, Almendra used it to make mandarin-infused brandy with fruit from Oroville, an almond brandy with nuts from Berton’s own crops, and a java brandy made with Chico’s Cal Java roasted beans. In November 2017, Almendra released its Monkey Face gin, vodka, and a barrel-aged brandy. Almendra’s vodka is rumored to be super smooth and its gin is full of flavor, made with local almonds, lavender, mandarins, rosemary and juniper. • Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt.

STEM CELLS ... OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate. Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives. Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

STRONG ROOTS T H E LOV I N G S U P P O RT O F T H E M E R CY G U I L D VO LU N T E E R S
EVERY TREE has its roots, its trunk and its branches. Each part is vital to maintaining the tree’s integrity. But it’s what lies within, just below the surface, seemingly unnoticed, that keeps the tree standing tall, strong and beautiful. Mercy Medical Center - Redding is a tree, whose roots, trunk and branches stand firmly in our community. The Mercy Guild, the team of volunteers who give their time, love and energy to support the needs of the hospital and the community at large, is the very lifeblood of that tree. The Mercy Guild, founded in 1958, is celebrating 60 years in service to the Redding community in April. The Guild is governed by its own board, has its own financial goals and serves as a major fundraiser for the needs of Mercy Medical Center - Redding. Members of the Mercy Guild come from all walks of life, ranging in age from 16 to 92 years of age, bringing talents and expertise from just about every professional and personal background imaginable. There aren’t too many teams in the world in which a 16-year-old and a 92-year-old could work side by side, at the same moment in time, with the same goal in mind – sharing a passion to help others. That, in and of itself, is something to behold.
Volunteers work in virtually every area of the hospital, from the information desk to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), from the engineering department to the gift shop. A volunteer may walk you to your destination in the hospital, drive you to your car on the golf cart or shuttle van, or hold the hand of a dying patient in the next room as a part of the No One Dies Alone Program. Sometimes volunteers are seen in the halls of the hospital wearing vibrant purple shirts and equally vibrant smiles, delivering care carts to families when they need it most. The volunteers are seen and unseen in their myriad roles, giving of their hearts and doing what they can to make a difference. Deanna Gunter, Director of Performance Excellence at Mercy Medical Center – Redding, who oversees the volunteer program, says what inspires her most about the team is “the kindness they exhibit every day – every minute. They care for our community, our patients and families, and they care for one another.” Gunter says the sweetest compliment she ever received about her staff was simple yet profound: “I just met a friend for life – a Mercy volunteer.”4 continued on page 60

“A volunteer is often the first person you see when you enter the hospital and the last person you see when you leave,” says Mercy Guild President Shirley Martin, who has been a volunteer for five years. Martin, who has made the “first impressions are lasting impressions” theme a major part of her focus during her term as president, recognizes just how crucial effective communication is to the work they do as volunteers. “Sensing how to engage is very important. Sometimes a smile is enough. Other times, people will want to talk. It’s important to know what to say and how to listen.” Donna Leistinger, chairperson of the Information Desk, has 12 years of experience as a volunteer. “I enjoy making people feel comfortable and valued,” Leistinger says. “We all have talents and skills to bring to the table. The gratification and rewards are vast and fulfilling, not to mention the fun of meeting some wonderful new people. Some of my closest friends now are other volunteers I have met at Mercy Hospital.” Ann Boyle, chairperson of the clerical department, has been a
volunteer with the Mercy Guild for 23 years. She admits “it’s a lot of hard work – there’s no two ways about it – but I love it.” Boyle serves as the correspondence secretary, sending out birthday, get well and sympathy cards on behalf of the Guild. She ensures proper delivery of the blankets and hats that are made with love by members of the community to the NICU, so nurses can deliver them. And it’s Boyle’s keen eye and deft hand that play an integral role in decorating the Christmas trees that light up the hospital and the hearts within it during the holidays. Chelsea Arledge, a nursing student at Shasta College, began volunteering a year and a half ago. Her own two children, born at 23 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively, were cared for in Mercy’s NICU. Arledge distinctly recalls a time when the scent of the soap in the bathroom at a restaurant sent her into a tailspin. It was the undeniable reminder of the struggle she had with her two babies. Knowing the struggle of parents with children in the NICU has given

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
During the month of March, the Health Care Community focuses attention on educating, preventing, screening and treating colorectal cancer. WHAT IS COLORECTAL? A cancer that starts in the colon or the rectum. Also named colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where the cancer starts. Most colorectal cancer begins as a growth called a polyp on the lining of the colon or rectum. Not all polyps turn into cancer. There are 2 types of polyps: • Adenomatous polyps (adenomas). These polyps sometimes turn into cancer. Because of this, adenomas are a pre-cancerous condition. • Hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps. These polyps are more common, but in general they are not pre-cancerous. Here are a few key statistics supplied by the American Cancer Society: • 97,220 new cases of colon cancer and 43,030 new cases of rectal cancer are estimated for 2018.
• Overall, the lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women. • Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women and is expected to cause about 50,630 deaths in 2018. The GOOD NEWS, the death rate from colorectal cancer has been dropping for both men and women for several decades. Likely reasons why: • Colorectal polyps are being found more often due to early screenings. • Removed before they can develop into cancer. • Being found earlier when the disease is easier to treat. • Treatments for colorectal cancer have improved over the last few decades. As a result of these likely reasons, there are now more than 1 million

Arledge the tools and the heart to serve as a support system for other NICU parents. She recently pioneered a NICU support group, recognizing the need for support not only while a child is still in the hospital, but afterward. “I wanted to be a NICU nurse before I had my babies, but after I had them, I knew that’s where I needed to be. Being in the NICU was the most traumatic experience of my life, but holding those babies has been the most healing,’’ says Arledge. Forty-three years ago, Ron Thoensen sold medical and surgical equipment at Mercy Medical Center - Redding. “Service was a major part of what I did then and what I continue to do now as a volunteer,” says Thoensen. For more than 20 years, he’s dedicated his time to working in the engineering department, where his skill set has come in particularly handy. Years ago, much of his time was spent repairing wheelchairs, but now that the hospital has begun ordering ones that no longer require such a level of maintenance, Thoensen stays busy putting
carts together, making other repairs, running errands and seeing to it that unused equipment is donated to a local charity. “My four-hour shift goes by in about 30 minutes,” says Thoensen with a chuckle. “I can’t tell you how much it means to be able to help someone. There isn’t a day that goes by that the staff doesn’t say how grateful they are for us. They say the hospital couldn’t function without the volunteer program,” says Thoensen. For 60 years, the lifeblood that is the Mercy Guild has pumped through every vein of the hospital, from the roots, through the trunk, and into the branches big and small, creating the perfect conditions for the leaves and fruit to flourish abundantly. • Kimberly N.

S U N D I A L F I L M F E S T I VA L C E L E B R AT E S 1 0 Y E A R S FOR STUDENT ATHLETES, there’s always the big game against the cross-town rival or possibly the playoffs. For kids focusing on graphic arts, however, those kinds of competitive opportunities just aren’t there. All of which is why Ben Keeline, a teacher at Cottonwood Creek Charter School, calls the Sundial Film Festival “a total godsend.” The festival, now in its 10th year and scheduled for Saturday, March 24, at the Cascade Theatre, is produced by the Active 20-30 Club of Redding to showcase the talents of local filmmakers. Festival rules only require that eligible films be associated with the North State, either by their subject, location or having a member of the cast or crew residing in the area. That latitude allows Keeline to submit animated movies created as a class project by his graphic design students. Keeline added an international flair to “Split,” a 15-minute animated fairy tale, by collaborating with fifth- and sixthgrade students at a grade school in Ireland. The Cottonwood kids wrote the screenplay and produced the film; students at Bohermeen National School in County Meath, a parish located about an hour northwest of Dublin, provided the authentic Irish dialogue. The first half of the film was entered last year and picked up a trophy and a $500 award for the best local school production. The completed film, which drew rave reviews in both Tehama County and County Meath, was submitted for this month’s festival. “The Sundial Film Festival has been tremendous for us,” Keeline says. “We couldn’t have planned anything better. It gives the kids a focus and momentum to have their film seen on a big screen in the big city. The festival provided a focus and a challenge to help kids rise to a level as a team and to feel the unity or competitive spirit that graphic artists don’t really experience. “The Active 20-30 Club does an awesome job of presentation. They’re very professional. We’re very grateful to the Sundial for sure,” Keeline says. The collaborative process motivated Keeline to launch Project Spark Studio, a nonprofit intended “to go after grants to get the hardware and software needed so kids can access the technology out there, communicate with each other, tell a story and build relationships.” In time, a virtual studio could link schools around the world, Keeline says. That kind of creative engagement with the film industry is one of the goals of the Sundial Film Festival, says Active 2030 Club member Kevin Adcock, who is chairing this year’s festival. “What I really like about the festival is it gives filmmakers and people who want to be involved in film an opportunity to showcase what they’ve worked on,” Adcock says.4 continued on page 64
MARCH 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Another objective is to foster film production in the area and dispel the notion that filmmaking is inextricably tied to Hollywood. Adcock notes that Eric Jacobus, a Redding native, has fashioned a nice career as a stuntman, producer and actor. Besides, Adcock says, promoting a regional film industry also promotes the North State itself. The festival is the principal fundraiser for the Active 20-30 Club of Redding, and proceeds from ticket sales and a silent auction allow club members to treat children from low-income families to a day of back-to-school shopping that includes new shoes, a new backpack and eye and dental exams. Eliah Irvin, the chair of last year’s festival, says club members took 45 kids shopping last fall. Irvin enjoys the teamwork involved in putting on the daylong festival and an invite-only gala, complete with a red carpet, for participating filmmakers and festival sponsors. “It’s fun to see them come together.” As one of the organizers, Matt Brockman enjoys the opportunity to meet the filmmakers who have the courage and creativity to share their stories with audiences around the world. “Some of their films come from places deep inside them,” he says. “It’s just really cool.” To be accepted for judging in the narrative, documentary and animation categories, films can be no longer than 20 minutes. A panel of judges from the Los Angeles Film Studies Center will award a trophy and a $1,000 prize for Best of Festival and a medallion and $500 each for Best Narrative, Best Documentary and Best Animation. Audience members will select the People’s Choice Award, which includes a $100 prize and a festival medallion. Last year’s winner was Susan Butchko Echard’s “Exodus Farms,” a documentary about a ranch in Anderson that uses rehabilitated horses to work with troubled children. • Sundial Film Festival March 24, 1 pm and 7 pm, Cascade Theatre (530) 243-8877 Tickets: $8 for afternoon screening, $18 for evening event, $20 for all-day festival pass www.cascadetheatre.org www.sundialfilmfestival.com www.thesparkstudio.org

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA provides beauty and excellent places to explore throughout all seasons. However, sometimes one area is often missed – the big, beautiful California sky. March is a great time to look up! This month provides many events happening just outside your door. We can delight in two full moons, Mercury at elongation, the spring equinox and a planetary parade. All these celestial wonders can be found just by looking up. The full moon in March is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by Native Americans, who would use the moon phases to track the seasons. During this time, the earth is awakening from its winter nap. Earthworm casts reappear among the soft earth, inviting birds to return from migrating. The roots of once-dormant plants begin to push their way up through the soil in a display of re-birth. The full moon in March has also been named the sap moon in different regions in reference to the maple flowing and the tapping of maple trees. The next big event begins early in late February and into early March,
when the planets slip into alignment. For those who rise early, they only need to look into the southeastern sky at dawn to discover Saturn, Mars and Jupiter positioned near one another. Over the next few nights, the waning moon appears with the planetary parade. Arriving mid-month is the planet Mercury. The planet is at elongation during its orbit, which means it has reached the greatest distance from the sun. “Planets don’t orbit the sun in perfect circles but rather eclipses,” says Greg Williams of the Shasta Astronomy Club. “Think of an egg shape.” This allows the best viewing of Mercury since it has fewer glares from the sun and is at its highest point above the horizon. Look low in the western sky just after the sun sets. The spring equinox arrives March 20. The name equinox comes from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night). It was once thought that the equinox meant everyone on Earth could experience a day and night that is equal – 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night.4 continued on page 68

Now, we understand that most places on Earth see more daylight than night. This is due to how the sunset and sunrise are defined, and the atmospheric refraction of sunlight. On this day, many cultures around the world celebrate with festivals and grand events. The Mayans celebrate the vernal equinox with the Return of the Sun Serpent at the El Castillo pyramid. During the spring and autumn equinox, the late afternoon sun casts a shadow on the pyramid that creates the illusion of a snake moving down the pyramid. The second full moon of the month is called a blue moon. The moon is not actually blue and it is not a term used by early Native Americans. The term blue moon is not even an astronomical term. It is believed it was first used in the 1940s in an astronomy magazine – it was a mistake that went viral and gave us this term used to describe two full moons in a month. This year is unique in that both January and March have two full moons and February has no full moon at all. March in the North State is sure to bring about wonder and amazement if you know when and where to look. Now that winter has gone, we can embrace the renewal of a season and bask in its energy. The blooms of flowers celebrate spring by stretching toward the sun in an embrace of warmth and growth. We have all grown in one way or another through the season. Now is the time to venture outdoors, and don’t forget to look up! • Christy Milan, with a passion for storytelling and a love of words, has been pursuing her dream that encompasses adventure and community connections.

Fresh START
We all started the new year with the best of intentions – eat healthier foods, move our bodies more, get plenty of rest. Then life happens, and we can be thrown off track. One fast food meal today, one skipped workout tomorrow, and soon we are back to our old habits. Fortunately, it’s never too late for another fresh start. That’s where OptiLife comes in. Kremer Family Chiropractic has found the recipe to detox your body, using a nutritional system that is designed to work for you and your busy lifestyle. Science-based OptiLife helps us identify the imbalances that rob your body of its optimal function so we can resolve them. We determine what your body needs to enter its optimal fat burning zone and stay there. Your customized program is as unique as you are, because no two people’s bodies are the same. There’s no surgery, no hormones, no pre-made foods, no drugs. It’s a 100 percent natural plan, supervised by a doctor, and it works. Women who have used OptiLife program have lost 20-24 pounds per month, and men have lost 30-35 pounds. Certainly, our clients are thrilled when friends and family notice that they have lost weight. But the most remarkable story goes well beyond the scale. Our clients have been liberated from excess weight, and they’ve also been freed from chronic health problems and pain that limited them from doing things they used to love to do. Simply stated, detoxing your body changes your life. Jennifer Martin, 46, had been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Kremer when she learned about OptiLife. A breast cancer survivor, she knew she couldn’t afford to carry extra weight, as fat tissue produces estrogen and increases one’s risk of breast cancer. Her body scan revealed that the biggest toxin in her body was menthol – though she’d stopped smoking six years earlier. “And I’ve been through chemo, so there was all sorts of wacky stuff in my body that most people don’t have,” she says. After her first round of OptiLife,
“I never felt better than when I went through that cleansing of my body. I felt incredible,” Jennifer says. Not only did she lose 46 pounds, but a scan showed that she no longer has menthol or other toxins in her system. Not ready for a consultation quite yet? We invite you to join us at one of our twice-monthly “dinner with the doctor” events, where our health professionals share valuable information about various health topics and answer all of your questions.

GO WILD W I L D C A R D B R E W I N G C O M PA N Y I N R E D D I N G JEFF HANSEN has the task of helping create recipes for some of the North State’s favorite brews. As co-founder and brewmaster of Redding’s Wildcard Brewing Company, he and wife Jenny have also discovered the recipe for business success. The pair met at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and their shared love of microbrews, plus the fact they ended up working crazy opposite hours, spurred a life change to pursue brewing. After moving to the U.K. so Jeff could study brewing science, then a two-year stint working for a brewery in Washington state, the couple returned in 2012 to the friends and family where Jeff had grown up. A West Valley High School graduate from Cottonwood, it made sense to set sights on Redding, a beer-loving area that at the time had no real brew pubs or production breweries. Using their life savings, plus money cobbled from friends and family, Jeff and Jenny opened their first Wildcard tap room on Crossroads Drive in East Redding in November 2012. The facility is also their production site. Their first batch was a mere 20 gallons of Shot in the Dark oatmeal porter, and they opened the doors with four beers on tap. A year later, and growing strong, they gained the trust of the bank, and were able to secure a small business loan to add brewing equipment and employees, plus develop plans to expand. Fast forward to New Year’s Eve 2015. Wildcard Brewing Company’s Tied House opened at 1321 Butte St. in downtown Redding. The Tied House features 10 beers on tap with a rotating lineup. The goal is to always have something for each beer lover’s palate, whether a local favorite or something new. Using their state-of-the-art Italian-made brewing system, Wildcard created 52 different beers and produced more than 4,000 kegs in 2017. They also were named the Downtown Redding Business of the Year in 2017 and were one of just 14 U.S.
businesses invited to make a presentation to Congress at the 2017 Small Business Development Center reception in the nation’s Capitol. The microbrew landscape has changed since Wildcard opened, and they now share the local brew pub microcosm with several other brewing companies, including Woody’s, Final Draft and Fall River. Not only are they thrilled for other successful brew pubs, but the Hansens regularly visit to socialize and sample other local beers. In addition, the pair have a huge sense of appreciation and thanks for the local community that fueled their success. Wildcard hosts numerous fundraisers each year, including each spring’s “Pints for a Purpose” event. Every Thursday for a month, guest bartenders work their magic on bringing in the crowds, with proceeds donated to the bartender’s favorite charity. So, what’s next for Wildcard Brewing Company? The Hansens will continue to balance their family life(daughter Blaire and son Lance, 7 and 4 years old) with their dream, and continue to grow the Wildcard name. What started as a two-person brewing operation has expanded to 10 employees. That employment number will climb again after Wildcard opens a third location this spring in the Bay Area city of Albany. Ideas are also churning about additional tap rooms in the region. For now, see you for a pint at the Tied House! • www.wildcardbrewingco.com

WHAT’S COOKIN’

recipe MARCH 2018
KENDRA’S SPRING RISOTTO SERVES 4-6 This month’s recipe was shared by Kendra Kaiserman, formerly the sales and marketing assistant here at Enjoy magazine. She explained that this recipe is baked in the oven, and since I had never made a risotto without a lot of stirring involved, I knew we had to give it a try. Peas and asparagus are wonderful spring vegetables and make this perfect for a main or a side dish. (Skip the wine if you prefer, but it adds a lovely depth of flavor.)
INGREDIENTS: 7 T olive oil, divided 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 small yellow onion) 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups vegetable broth plus 1 cup water 1 1⁄2 cups arborio or short grain white rice 1 bunch of fresh asparagus spears, about 1 lb. 1 1⁄2 cups fresh English peas (about 8 oz) 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1⁄2 cup dry white wine, optional 3 T unsalted butter, diced 1 tsp. sea salt, more to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Zest and juice of 1 lemon

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Move an oven rack to the middle position and another rack to the lower third of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. STEP 2: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes. Add 4 cups broth cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and stir in the rice. Cover the pot and bake for 45 minutes. STEP 3: Next, prepare the asparagus by cutting off and discarding the tough ends. Slice the spears diagonally into 11â „2-inch-long pieces. On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Set aside.
STEP 4: Once the risotto has been in the oven for 45 minutes, transfer the asparagus to the lower rack of the oven. Carefully remove the risotto from the oven, remove the lid, and add the peas to the risotto. Cover the pot again. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes which will allow the peas to steam. STEP 5: Remove the risotto from the oven, leaving the asparagus in for another 5 to 10 minutes, until tender and roasted. Remove the lid and add the cup of water, the Parmesan, wine, butter, salt, a generous amount of pepper, and the zest and juice of half your lemon. Stir vigorously with a big spoon for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is thick and creamy. Stir in the roasted asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

2 Downbeat Magazine says, “(Paul) Hanson has brought the double reed instrument into areas where it has seldom, if ever, gone before, combining a commanding improvisational sensibility with funk, classical and world music influences.” Equally adept at jazz and chamber music, Hanson has played or recorded with such diverse musicians as Bela Fleck, Wayne Shorter and Ray Charles, as well as symphony orchestras and Cirque du Soleil. His musical explorations transcend limitations and create new possibilities – producing performances of the highest quality.

1 One of the funniest plays you will ever see about depression: 1. Ice cream; 2. Water fights; 3. Things with stripes; 4. Christopher Walken’s voice; 5. Rollercoasters. In “Every Brilliant Thing,” a young boy attempts to ease his mother’s depression by creating a list of all the best things in the world – everything worth living for. Through adulthood, as the list grows, he learns the deep significance it has on his own life. Filled to the brim with joy, this heart-wrenching and very funny play explores the lengths we go to save the ones we love.

High school juniors will be taking the state required tests named CAASPP/EAP in April. The California State University (CSU) system and California Department of Education have collaborated to design the 11th grade English and math tests to measure students’ readiness for college-level course work. Consequently, Juniors would be well advised to give these tests their very best effort as the scores will affect the students’ opportunity to enroll in transfer level courses at a community college and in credit bearing courses in the CSU system. The consequence for not meeting the requirement will be for the student to enroll in “Early College”. Juniors scoring at “Standard Exceeded” will be welcome to enroll in transfer level or credit bearing courses. Students scoring at “Standard Met” will be considered “Conditionally Ready” and must be enrolled in specific classes during the senior year in order to meet the conditional status. “Conditionally Ready” in English requires the student to be enrolled in ERWC English IV or AP English IV and pass the class with at least a “C” each semester. “Conditionally Ready” in Math requires the student to complete a math course that has Algebra II or Integrated Math III as a prerequisite and the course must be passed with at least a “C”. It is the student’s responsibility to mark the “release button” at the end of each section of the CAASPP assessment. Students choosing not to release their scores will be required to provide scores to the community college or CSU campus they wish to attend. EAP scores will be printed on the student’s CAASPP score report and made available in late August. Further information available at www.csusuccess.org Counselors encourage juniors to take the SAT and/or ACT college admission tests between March – June. The SAT registration website is www.collegeboard.org and ACT website is www.act.org. Fee waivers are available to students that receive free or reduced lunches! Please meet with your school counselor to obtain a fee waiver.

THE BIRDS OF Butte County can rest free due to the vital efforts of the Altacal Audubon Society. The society promotes the awareness, appreciation and protection of native birds and their habitats. While advocating on behalf of threatened, endangered and vulnerable species, Altacal Audubon also offers monthly programs on birds and related topics to better educate the public in their endeavors. Fortunately for the native birds of Butte County, the Altacal Audubon Society is located in the midst of the Northern Sacramento Valley of the Pacific Flyway, one of the most variegated wildlife regions in California. This Flyway is home to laudable migratory bird habitats, including ample wintering waterfowl, as well as native raptors and bountiful telluric wildlife. The area’s vast habitats, mild weather fluctuations, and plenty of food and water provide abundant birding opportunities for more than 300 local species. Altacal Audubon is dedicated to preserving and protecting manifold species of birds and their habitats through education, research and environmental activities. These activities include outreach booths at local events, cultivating awareness through youth outdoor education activities and field trips to wildlife refuges. Programs for the public are held on the third Monday of every month (excluding July and August) at 6:30 pm at the Chico Creek Nature Center, 1968 E. 8th St. in Chico. Memberships include a bimonthly newsletter including updates on Altacal efforts, recent reports on birds and their habitats and invitations to local birding and community events. To sign up for membership or donate to Altacal Audubon conservation efforts, go to www.altacal.org. All donations support a sustainable environment for birds within the wildlife regions of Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties. • Altacal Audubon Society • PO Box 3671, Chico • altacal.info@gmail.com
