AMERICAN DREAM
WOMEN SHARE PASSION FOR THE BEEF INDUSTRY
Cornerstone Community Bank helps people realize their dreams. Locally owned and funded, we are honored to share in building our partners’ legacies … like the Tehama County CattleWomen. Originally formed as the Tehama County CowBelles in April 1953 with 74 members, this group of women promotes the cattle industry and those involved in the day-to-day business of raising cattle. The CattleWomen participate in numerous programs and events throughout the year, notably the Tehama District Fair and the Red Bluff Beef ‘N Brew.

Dr. Van Kirk has been my GYN/OB for over 10 years. From pre-kids to currently on my third pregnancy with twins, he has always been a wonderful physician to work alongside before, during and after my pregnancies. He is extremely kind, funny, down to earth and easy to approach and ask questions. He answers them honestly and as a person that likes to have significant input regarding my healthcare, he’s always willing to listen! The girls in the office are amazing! Amber and Trina are the kindest women to talk to and they always address needs, appointment scheduling and answer questions in a timely and efficient manner. Lisa and Leann are equally kind and encouraging. Each are reassuring and many times affirming (which is so good to a pregnant mama’s heart!). I love this place and am truly grateful to be a patient with this group of awesome people! – Autumn B

editor’s note september 2019
THEY’RE OUR MOST FAITHFUL FRIENDS, our closest companions, the ones who love us unconditionally even when we’re not very pleasant to be around – they’re our pets, and this month, we “give paws” in their honor. Is there room in your home and heart for a new furry friend? We’ll help walk you through five critical questions to ask yourself before you make the lifetime commitment of adopting a pet. Sometimes animals are healers, like those found at Triple Creek Ranch. The horses at this volunteer-run organization provide equine-assisted therapy for children and adults with a variety of special needs. We’re honored to introduce you to Enloe, whose talents are beyond remarkable – he is learning the art of sniffing out cancer. There’s still lots of testing and training to be done, but Enloe Medical Center in Chico is one of just two facilities in the nation doing this life-saving research. On the wilder side of things, Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation has been helping injured and orphaned wildlife for 40 years. If you have a soft spot in your heart for animals, there are plenty of opportunities to help them out here. We’ll even share some tips on keeping your pet well-coiffed – grooming isn’t just about keeping Fido looking fabulous, but it helps maintain his physical health, too. All sorts of family-friendly activities are on the North State’s docket this fall. The first Redding Roots Revival music festival kicks off on Oct. 18, and the lineup will keep your toes tapping. And on Sept. 13-14, the ever-popular Paesano Days is your opportunity to play some bocce ball while eating, dancing, shopping and visiting with friends and neighbors. Give your favorite critter a scratch behind the ears, and enjoy!

Life can be busy and filled with challenges, but it's wonderful friends and community that change our perspective. We visited a friend in Portland and had a wet and wild adventure on the Willamette River. Next stop was Bellingham, Washington for the Fourth of July and a 25-mile bike ride. Of course we have to enjoy some Redding baseball with our fellow fans watching the Colt 45s at Tiger Field. We attended the opening of Los Cochorros Taqueria in Redding (owned by the family of our staff member, Carmen). We certainly couldn't miss the Shasta District Fair with our favorite people either. Then Dan trying to make a new friend outside a Bellingham restaurant. Have to say that guy wasn’t the best communicator. We are blessed to share these moments with family and friends… it's our favorite part of summertime! Change with the times, because it's time to think of yourself for a change.

my town
KATRINA WOODCOX, CHICO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BUTTE HUMANE SOCIETY
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN:
SOMETHING I DIDN’T THINK I WANTED, BUT IT ENDED UP GIVING ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED. I never thought I would call Chico my hometown. Ever. At best, I told myself it would be a fun place to go to college, make some new friends, and live it up a little before heading off into the blue yonder for an amazing future filled with prosperity and adventure. Having grown up in the Bay Area, my dad uprooted us to Grass Valley so we could “stop and smell the roses” – his favorite motto. Looking back, I understand that it was the right move for our family. However, as a rebellious 14-year-old transplanted into what I considered an alien culture, I was horrified. The small-town pace felt stifling and I vowed to escape back to the “big city” as soon as I turned 18. I made good on that promise and right after graduation, moved as far away as I could to attend college in Southern California. I was free to live life in the fast lane! Free, that is, until my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I finished out my freshman year and transferred to Chico State so I could be closer to my family, but determined to move on to bigger and better things one day. Thirty-five years later, I’m still here. There’s just something about Chico that gets under your skin. In a good way. It’s fast-paced enough to make you feel on-the-move, yet relaxed enough to avoid feeling like you are caught up in a rat race. Chico is a place where it takes 15 minutes to commute to work by car, or a 30-minute bike ride through tree-lined streets on a brisk fall morning. You choose. It’s a town filled with familiar faces, and sometimes faces you’ve never seen. Either way, you can always count on a smile. It’s a solo hike in glorious Upper Park or congregating with thousands on a warm, spring Thursday night, sweet flowers and barbecue filling the air. It’s a city filled with open arms to accept a community of 20,000 who lost everything in a devastating wildfire. And thanks to our university, the annual arrival of students brings an injection of vitality that keeps our community forever young. From music to art, recreation to cuisine, rainy winter afternoons to balmy summer nights, traditional to trendy, and everything in between, the beauty that is Chico is the diverse potluck of experiences that it offers, providing something for everyone, no matter how picky the appetite. Chico is rural Northern California living, steeped with just the right amount of urban edge. I do admit that there are times when a transit wind whispers in my ear, reminding me that I have lived here my entire adult life. “It’s time to move!” it murmurs. “There’s got to be something better, somewhere else…” When that happens, I explore beyond my ZIP code and comfort zone, pondering what it would be like to escape again. I enjoy these exploits and take great pleasure in fresh experiences, new people and different landscapes. But the outcome is always the same: “Go home!” my heart cries. Home – back to the place where I have loved, laughed, lost and truly lived. Chico. Three decades, four amazing children, a solid marriage, incredible friends, a rewarding career and a feathered comfy nest later, I guess I’ve earned the right to call it my hometown. I’ve spent a lifetime planting and tending my garden right here. Why leave now? I’ve got roses to smell.

THE LITTLE BOY looked at the sweet mass of rumpled fur and doe eyes with equal parts wonder and trepidation. He hesitated. The woman, sensing that there was something the little boy wasn’t quite able to articulate, said something profound: “I know you and your family lost your dog last year and I know how hard that must have been for you guys. I’m really sorry about that, buddy,” she said. “Do you think you have room in your heart to love another dog – this dog?” He looked at the dog for a moment, her sweet eyes peering through wiry golden strands, meeting his and flooding them with love. He nodded his head at the woman, looking up at her as his confidence mounted and a wide smile spread across his face. This is the moment that Sarah Walton looks for when she is searching for the right home for an animal. She calls it the human-to-animal connection. “If you don’t have a
person that is fully committed to that animal, you end up with an animal that will have to go through more changes – and that’s the last thing we want for them. Many people are qualified on paper, but until we see that connection, a person is not an official adopter. We don’t mind being picky because we know that, no matter what, that dog will always have a home with us,” Walton says. Walton is the new chief financial officer of Pets Without Partners, a role she took over in August 2018 from the nonprofit organization’s founders, Laura and Wayne Rathe. She had been a volunteer for two years. “Knowing that I had young children and recognizing that it might be a challenge, Laura knew I had the business sense to run the organization and had an established4 continued on page 22 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

rapport with the other volunteers. We were in the middle of devastation from the Carr Fire. The thought of losing another positive thing about our community right after the fire didn’t sit well with me. Being able to provide animals for families with love and compassion – especially at that time when the community needed it so much – was a huge part of the motivation to keep it going,” says Walton. With the support of her husband, George, her three children, Robert (13), Lexi (12) and Josh (9), in addition to a team of nine volunteers she says she “simply couldn’t do this without,” Walton took on the all-encompassing job of running Pets Without Partners. Everyone has a role to play in taking the best care of the animals. Board President Paula Carpenter made a special connection with Walton when she first began volunteering with the organization. “I saw a dog that looked like the one I had just lost – and I was in tears. Paula put her hand on my shoulder and said to me, ‘You know, she could use a good home.’ If she hadn’t done that, I don’t know that I would be doing this,” says Walton. Adoptions Coordinator Sam Pollard brings her deft organizational skills to the table. Walton insists that Pollard keeps her afloat. Volunteer Coordinator Tawny Sotelo brings knowledge and experience thanks to 12 years working as both a volunteer and a foster. The foster families that commit to loving these dogs through their sometimesdifficult circumstances round out the team of volunteers at Pets Without Partners. George Walton took a month off from work to build an addition onto the back of their home to ensure there was a proper space to care for the animals – at least until the family can find a home that would accommodate more dogs and their family comfortably. “My kids provide emotional support for the animals. They are a huge part of the reason why these animals can go from severely traumatized to trusting people again. I always tell parents to get their kids involved in rescue, even if it is only to foster for a little while. Teaching empathy to our children is a nearly impossible task. They have to learn it by feeling it for something else.” Walton acknowledges that the most difficult struggle for anyone who works in animal rescue is finding the balance between their family, their friends and caring for the animals: “It’s a constant job – one that often pulls you away from those who need you most. It weighs on us emotionally. It’s a hard place to be in. That’s why acknowledgement goes such a long way.” “I grew up with a mom who rescued anything and everything. I always wanted to be a veterinarian. It just didn’t happen for me. Where I grew up in Campbell, near San4 continued on page 24

surgery and dental cleaning, amongst other more pressing medical needs for the animals that come to us,” says Walton. While Walton acknowledges that even small donations make a huge difference for the animals, what is needed most are families willing to adopt, partnerships with local businesses to meet the needs of the organization and for people to do their part to encourage those around them to spay or neuter whenever possible.
Jose, there was always a huge problem with puppy mills. I never felt that those were a ‘normal’ thing. I knew early that puppies needed to be spayed or neutered. I’ve known since then that I wanted to make a difference.” Taking in an estimated 40 animals a month, the team at Pets Without Partners specializes in special needs dogs, including pregnant moms, small breed dogs with babies, older dogs, those with cancer and owner surrenders. The organization takes in 50 percent of the animals from shelter-pulls throughout the state, including Haven Humane Society in Redding, ResQ Paws in Yuba City and Visalia Animal Services. The other 50 percent come from owner surrenders. Pregnant moms and dogs with puppies are most vulnerable to euthanasia, as any dog that cannot be spayed or neutered is not viewed as adoptable. That’s why it’s hardest to find fosters willing to make the eight- to 10-week commitment to care for 10 dogs simultaneously – and why the Watson family has set up a kind of maternity ward for pregnant moms and those who have recently delivered at their home. Pets Without Partners helps owners find options for pets they can’t care for any longer. “Our goal is never to judge – only to support people in caring for their animals. We invest in behavioral training and will help to re-home animals if there is no other option,” Walton says. Pets Without Partners receives donations from community members, in addition to Costco and PetSmart. Each dog from Pets Without Partners is spayed or neutered, microchipped, has current vaccinations and comes with a bag of dog food. Adoption fees cover these costs, and any overages are put toward the care of other animals that come to the organization with major health needs. “When you pay an adoption fee, you aren’t just taking care of one dog – you are saving two. Those fees help us to take care of cherry eye removal 24

“Reach out to your neighbors and ask how you can help. Go to your vet and sponsor a spay or neuter for an animal. We need people to take the initiative to make a difference in their own communities. Overpopulation is more than an issue – it’s an epidemic.” “Feed it, pet it and provide shelter for it and a dog will love you for a lifetime,” says Walton. “You might not be ready, but these animals certainly are. They need us.” • www.petswithoutpartners.org

A R A PA H O R O S E A L PAC A DAY S
IF LAST year’s head count is any indication, Arapaho Rose’s Alpaca Days is set to draw a massive crowd Sept. 28. Farm owner Karen Kelly says that after nearly 10 years of the annual, one-day opening of her pastures to the public, the 2018 surge in number of visitors took her by complete surprise. “It could be there were more than 2,000 here,” she recalls in wonder. “I’m not that heavy an internet user, but people were telling me it was trending on Facebook. They were telling me I’ve gone viral.” Arapaho Rose Alpaca Days is the local event for the National Alpaca Farm Days, held annually throughout the United States on the last weekend of June. Kelly opens her gates to a throng of visitors, many with young children in tow, who mingle with her alpaca herd in the pastures. As if in a large-scale petting zoo, kids can pet and feed these gentle, towering animals, under watchful eyes of volunteers who ensure that all contact between guests and residents is mutually copacetic.
Kelly says alpacas are herd animals, and cannot be treated like big fuzzy dogs. “Their personality is more cat-like,” she explains. “Today they want to be friendly, and tomorrow they might not want to have anything to do with you.” This could be observed in the petting pastures last year, as volunteers warned young visitors not to chase any alpaca that strode away from human contact. They can be playful as cats, too, especially the young “boy” alpacas, as Kelly calls them, frolicking with other members of their herd. “They are gentle, but very powerful – that’s all muscle in there. They play fight with each other. They like to neck wrestle, sort of wind their necks around each others’,” she says, twisting her forearms together in example. Of course, they weren’t neck wrestling with their visitors that day. Kelly’s alpacas granted the crowd a most gentle welcome. Those tolerant to the public stood and patiently took strokes from hands4 continued on page 28 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

coming from every direction. Some of them settled to their bellies in the grass, low enough for children to lean against – but, no, not climb on – their bodies. Volunteers provided free alpaca food. All the while, scores of excited parents aimed cameras and cell phones. Beyond the petting pastures, visitors took in talks, demos and kid’s crafts – all woven together with the theme alpaca. Under the guidance of the Frontier Girls, a half-dozen members of the scout-like youth program, children strung together bracelets of beads and alpaca yarn. Adults marveled over a line of looms and spinning wheels, where volunteers spun alpaca fiber into alpaca yarn and wove alpaca yarn into sheets of alpaca cloth. Kelly says shearing four to six inches of fiber off alpacas does not harm them, and is actually a necessity given Redding’s climate. “You need to get it off them before it gets up into the 80s,” she explains. “It’s like wearing two overcoats, and they can get heat stroke just like we can.” This long-time alpaca farmer can tell you which of three grades of fiber comes off what part of an alpaca’s body. And after sending a sample to a lab with an electronic microscope, she knows the diameters of the individual strands of her fiber, between 23 and 26 microns. “It’s a medullated fiber, which means it’s hollow,” she says. “It’s three to five times warmer than wool, which means I can have a much lighter garment and be just as warm.”
Visitors will find those garments for sale in the on-site boutique, along with purses, stuffed animals and many, many other things alpaca including, for the do-it-yourselfers, skeins of that hand-spun alpaca yarn. This is the only place at Arapaho Rose Alpacas where visitors will need money. Access to the grounds and activities is free. So is Kelly’s expert alpaca advice, although she asks those seeking it to schedule an appointment, because she has more than enough to do with hosting her share of National Alpaca Farm Days. Kelly even receives calls for her expertise from other alpaca farmers. Recently one in Happy Valley reached out to her for help with an alpaca baby born prematurely, nine pounds instead of a healthy 12, and fading. “I told them to stimulate it, rub it with dry towels, use a blow dryer to warm it,” she recalls. It was born so early mama’s milk wasn’t yet in, so to deal with dangerously low blood sugar, she prescribed Karo syrup. “It was kind of touch and go there for a while, but the baby is fine now and growing like a weed,” she says. One important message she wants to deliver to people thinking about starting an alpaca farm is never let an alpaca forget what it is – a herd animal. “Some people want to buy one and feed it with a bottle, which is a huge red flag,” she warns. “A bottle baby does not treat you differently from a member of the herd.” So instead of teaching young alpacas to seek human contact for comfort, Kelly sets a boundary of personal space with hers. Because an alpaca stands an average of three feet tall at the shoulder and can weigh up to nearly 200 pounds. Because, though gentle, they are very powerful animals – that’s all muscle in there. Because they like to play fight with other members of their herd. They like to neck wrestle. • Arapaho Rose Alpacas • 10702 Arapaho Drive, Redding (530) 223-3364 • www.ArapahoRose.com

My parents didn’t know I was autistic. I struggled at school, spending hours drawing pictures in my room. After high school I enrolled in college where I jumped from one community college to another, racking up units with little to show for it. Frustrated, I dropped out.
Ten years later, struggling as a single mom, I decided to enroll at Shasta College in the online courses so I could still be at home with my baby. Now, I am supported by the PACE department, who welcomed me with open arms. Jesse Knight, in the tutoring department, understands autism and fully speaks my language. I am especially grateful for Carly Gordon from the Student Success Center for speaking for me when I couldn’t find my voice. Professor Tim Shelton, an enthusiastic chemistry teacher, answered my infinite questions jubilantly! At Shasta College, my unwavering raised hand was never ignored. Just knowing that my teachers wanted me to succeed gave me the courage and ambition to pursue my degree.

Leave it to Beavers S C O T T R I V E R WAT E R S H E D C O U N C I L’ S B E AV E R D A M A N A L O G S
IN 1836, fur trapper Stephen Meek explored a swampy basin 50 miles northwest of Mount Shasta. It would come to be known as Scott Valley, but to Meek, it was Beaver Valley, named after the plentiful semi-aquatic, industrious rodents that populated it. Back then, up to 1,800 beavers were trapped each year to supply the avaricious fur trade, and by 1929, the last of Scott Valley’s beavers had been skinned and sold. Fast-forward to 2019, when a group of volunteer activists and ranchers, led by the local non-profit Scott River Watershed Council, are encouraging beavers – and their ecological benefits – to return to Scott Valley. “When you talk about beavers, people usually have a strong opinion one way or the other,” quips the council’s executive director, Charnna Gilmore. Beavers, or Castor canadensis, are the largest rodent species in North America. Ungainly on land and graceful in the water, they generally weigh 40 pounds, live up to 24 years in the wild and are monogamous. They can stay underwater for 15 minutes without surfacing and sport a set of transparent eyelids that work like goggles. Beavers are also only second to humans in their ability to manipulate their environment, falling trees and weaving sticks to transform simple streams into complex mazes of dams and ponds. That quality has also
put them at odds with agriculture, since they instinctively want to plug irrigation pipes at the sound of running water. But while some consider beavers a pest, scientists classify them as a “keystone” species for the way their handiwork protects biodiversity and creates food-rich habitats for fish and wildlife. “Most people don’t see all the burrowing they do to help sustain the ecosystem. It moves water around and allows organic matter to settle in. Because if there’s no food, there are no fish.” Gilmore has always loved beavers but jokes she was “in the closet” about it until she witnessed beaver impacts on the watershed. “The drought of 2014, as catastrophic as it was, suddenly showed people in the valley that where there were beavers, there was water.” This observation triggered a fundamental change in the Council, which had been around since 1992. “We suddenly went from supporting other people’s work to doing our own work, and that came because of our interest in beaver dam analogs and what they could potentially do for Scott Valley,” explains Gilmore. Beaver dam analogs are an instrumental part of the Council’s new efforts. In a nutshell, these are a human interpretation of a beaver’s dam.

Analogs are one of the fastest-growing stream creek can’t change course. That has super negative restoration techniques in the West, and the Scott River consequences for the biological habitat.” To date, 22 beaver dam analog Watershed Council was the first to structures have been built at seven sites in embrace them in California. “Every year “EVERY YEAR WE GO the Scott River basin. Beavers have been we go out, acting like beavers and filling OUT, ACTING LIKE active, or have taken over nine of the the holes, and we can see a response in the BEAVERS AND structures, and most of the locals, ground water table in 24 hours. It’s a winFILLING THE HOLES, AND WE CAN SEE A including ranchers, have a largely positive win for the ranchers, too.” RESPONSE IN THE Gilmore confesses the first couple of view of beavers and dams, according to GROUND WATER years were a steep learning curve. “We Gilmore. “It’s been interesting to discover TABLE IN 24 HOURS. were really just thinking this was a little where this tool works in our system and IT’S A WIN-WIN FOR local project where we do some habitat where it doesn’t.

A REALLY GOOD BOY E N LO E , T H E C A N C E R S N I F F I N G D O G AS THE TEMPERATURE RISES on an early summer day, an entourage surrounds an affable Northern California celebrity who is slightly panting in his golden fur coat. However, the four-legged gregarious personality doesn’t seem to mind the heat – he’s just happy about all the attention and the fact that he’s in his favorite place – the training center next to the Enloe Regional Cancer Center.
Escorting Enloe the dog are his owners, Jeff and Traci Hunt, In Situ Foundation CEO Dina Zaphiris and the Enloe Foundation’s Jolene Francis. As the founder of In Situ, Zaphiris started her celebrity dog training career in Los Angeles where she aided the local police department and wilderness rescues to help sniff out bombs, narcotics and people. In three decades of working with different4 continued on page 36

dog breeds, Zaphiris built up a reputation. One day, a doctor from a cancer clinic called her to report an interesting observation – when he brought his poodle to work, she would poke her nose around the patients in the areas where they eventually developed cancerous cells. Knowing that Zaphiris worked with dogs with a focus in scent detection, Dr. Michael McCullough and Zaphiris started researching the correlation between dogs and his cancer patients and found numerous stories of dogs that sniffed out cancer. Flash forward to 2016 when Zaphiris decided to leave L.A. and come back to Chico, where she had roots. She had various research papers published in medical journals and had started the In Situ Foundation, which focuses on training dogs and their people on how to detect early signs of cancer. When the Enloe Foundation caught wind that Zaphiris was back in town, it wanted to be involved. To continue her research, Zaphiris needed samples, funding, a training space and a dog. To raise awareness and get people behind the cause, they knew that hiring a friendly, social dog as the program’s spokesperson was key. Enloe Medical Center began accepting applications to be Enloe the Dog’s keepers. Jeff and Traci Hunt, who both have fought and survived cancer, won the bid. Zaphiris found a breeder, picked the eight-week-old golden Labrador puppy up from the airport, and took the new furry medical assistant to his forever home. The Hunts immediately fell in love and started taking Enloe out on the town to interact with people. As the director of the Enloe Cancer Center, Traci says her whole life has been around fighting cancer and it’s rewarding to take care of a dog that’s helping other people. So how do you get a dog to sniff out cancer? First, it helps to understand what motivates a dog and how their noses work. “Dogs have 3 million scent receptors; they have a different organ in their nose the size of an almond that humans don’t have. They have two separate path lines to smell, whereas we only have one,” Zaphiris says. For instance, humans generally can’t smell sugar in a cup of coffee unless it’s at a teaspoon or more, but Enloe could probably sniff out a teaspoon or less of sugar in a million gallons of coffee. Another way to look at it is, say you walked into a bakery and recognized the scent of a brownie, but Enloe can smell the individual parts of it – the sugar, flour and other specific ingredients. Due to his strong nose, Enloe can also differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells. Zaphiris explains that humans constantly exhale waste products through their breath (there are 2,000 volatile organic compounds visible in it) that dogs can pick up on. Therefore, instead of training the dogs on how to find a tumor, Zaphiris began teaching them how to use their noses to detect cancer cells through samples of exhale breath condensate.4 continued on page 38 36

“Here we have machines that prod, poke, hear and see, but not smell,” Zaphiris says. “With their sensitivity and specificity, dogs are proven to help fight cancer in an early stage. Enloe has a mind of a 2-year-old but the nose of a computer,” she adds. To get a sample for a dog to test, a patient breathes into a surgical mask for 10 minutes while filling out a questionnaire. The mask is put into a freezer at negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit, thawed out and tested when the dog is ready to work. (It takes about 5 minutes for the breath to thaw.) Being at the training center, the antsy Enloe is eager to get to work and Dina brings some samples out to demonstrate. The biggest challenges are keeping samples in stock and teaching Enloe (plus others) to ignore negative results. While Enloe is still in training and there’s still a lot more testing and clinical research to be done, Zaphiris has already written a protocol with 357 steps on how to work with dogs to perform this kind of early cancer detection, and Enloe Medical Center is one of the only two facilities in the United States that is doing this kind of research legitimately with the Institutional Review Board.

“Our mission at this point is to standardize it to bring more recognition and take it to the level where this is taught in universities as part of a bio-detection focus. It doesn’t even have to be a dog – they are just helping us understand volatile compounds at this point,” Zaphiris says. Being able to conduct more large-scale studies consisting of using five to 10 dogs to sniff out hundreds of mixed samples can help take the research to the next level – and that’s where the public can help by donating money or provide breath samples (for more information on how to do this, visit www.dogsdetectcancer.org). For now, Enloe the Dog is still working on improving his cancer-sniffing accuracy levels while serving as an inspiration to all. “With cancer-sniffing dogs, a lot of people can catch cancer early enough to where it doesn’t affect the rest of their lives,” Traci says. “Enloe has opened up that conversation.” • Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt.

The family dog or cat has risen in status throughout the decades, no longer being banished to the backyard, but given a plush bed indoors and being dressed in trendy sweaters during the winter cold. Despite 70 percent of American households owning a pet, most pet parents are not prepared for an animal emergency. Animals can unexpectedly face the need for urgent medical care and require quick thinking from their humans. As helpful as the Internet can be, misinformation is plentiful and can bring more harm than help. The American Red Cross has created a trusty resource to the plethora of animal questions – the free and user-friendly app, “Pet First Aid.” For decades, the American Red Cross has aided in disaster relief, blood collection and community education. Local chapters have
offered first aid and CPR classes, allowing caretakers, babysitters, and parents to learn precious lifesaving skills. In recent years, the Red Cross has extended this service to include animal first aid in a unique course. Available online and via the app, pet owners and sitters are not only able to troubleshoot various animal health conundrums but receive training for lifesaving skills. The training goes above and beyond the basics. Dog CPR technique varies depending on the breed; for instance, due to the unique chest wall structure of bulldogs and pugs, CPR requires specialized chest compressions. Professional help from a veterinarian is always best, but until proper medical care can be reached, first aid skills and emergency knowledge can save a life. The app walks pet parents through warning signs and CPR specifics, as well as providing information for other types of trauma including seizures, car accidents, poisoning and burns.4 continued on page 42 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Pet parents can sometimes find their pet acting peculiar or question if a situation warrants a visit to the local vet. Lynn Blackwell is the proud parent of two shelter dogs and formerly a frequent visitor to the veterinarian. “Going to the vet everytime I have a question isn’t an option. This app is so helpful answering questions I have and helps me understand some of my dog’s behaviors.” Pet First Aid’s wide range of topics includes allergic reactions, insect stings and falls. “I think all pet parents will benefit by taking the short online course or downloading the app. It certainly gave me piece of mind. I feel like I can be more useful if an emergency situation arises.” Not only is it important to have a critical understanding of necessary procedures prior to a disaster, but also to have a plan and emergency kit in place. Families can easily forget to include their pets in these preparations. Gaining the skills and being prepared should an emergency arise can help make a difficult situation more manageable.

In addition to being a how-to source for animals in dire need, the Pet First Aid app offers information and links to outside resources, lists pet friendly hotels and gives general tips for animal well-being. The majority of the information focuses on the canine and feline species, but important resources can be gleaned for all types of critters. No pet parent hopes to find themselves in a difficult emergency situation. Pet First Aid and the American Red Cross prepares humans to be the best parent they can for their furry family member.

I WRITE A LOT about maintaining your own health and beauty, but what about your pet? Sound crazy? Pet beautification is a million-dollar industry and goes way beyond just a shampoo. Grooming is not just about your pet’s level of cleanliness, nor is it about keeping your dog looking good. Grooming is about maintaining your pet’s physical health as well as his appearance. If the eyes are the window to the soul, then hair is the window to the animal’s inner health and overall wellbeing. Changes in a dog’s coat can indicate a more serious condition within, such as dietary imbalance or diseases of digestive, thyroidal, renal, immune or parasitic origin. A benefit of grooming is that it allows you to check your pet for any abnormalities. This includes skin problems such as ticks, fleas and dry patches, or any issues with their nails, teeth, ears and eyes. When treated at an early stage, many of these issues can be treated fairly easily, but if left unchecked, can develop into a more serious condition. Lara Schneiderwind is a groomer at Furry Tales Pet Spa inside Kimberly’s Grooming. She says it is important is to keep up on flea and tick treatments,
especially in this area, so the animals don’t end up with an infestation, because that is harder to get rid of. A dog’s skin and hair form a barrier to protect the dog’s body from infections, parasites and the elements. The hair is classified into three basic types: primary or guard types, which form the outer coat to protect the animal from weather; secondary or undercoat, which provides insulation; and tactile or sensory, such as whiskers or the hairs inside the ears. Dogs of different breeds display different rates of coat development, which varies considerably based on its coarseness or thickness. And, contrary to popular belief, all dogs do shed, it’s just that they shed and regrow hair at varying rates and some dogs shed a lot less than others. Understanding the type of breed you have (preferably before you adopt it), and how much grooming and maintenance is necessary, can help you determine whether that breed is right for you. Although no formal training is required, most groomers have some sort of a certificate, in addition to a high school diploma. Some even choose to acquire specialized certification, such as the National Certified4 continued on page 46 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Master Groomer designation. This entails attending an accredited workshop, proving practical skills through demonstration and passing a series of written exams. Dawn Call, a local groomer of small dog breeds, became a groomer because she has a love for dogs and helping them feel good. “I like it when the owners pick up the dogs and the dogs are all cute and happy,” Call says. She was going to be a vet tech, but decided that grooming dogs is more of an art for her. And after 17 years of grooming, Call still continues to work on her trade. She started out as a bather at a local shop for several years and then had an apprenticeship under Kimberly Wroe, owner of Kimberly’s Dog Grooming in Redding, and was able to hone her craft. “I have an emotional bond and an art bond with my dogs,” she says. “I want them to know they’re taken care of. I really care about my dogs.” And it isn’t only dogs that need grooming – most pets require some sort of maintenance. Cats spend a good deal of their waking hours grooming themselves, but still benefit from some human intervention every now and then. Regardless of whether you have a fancy Persian or a regular shorthair, brushing helps remove tangles, burs and dander, as well as that extra hair your cat leaves you in the form of hairballs. Brushing should be a daily routine, as it releases the natural oils in the fur, creating a shiny coat.

Nail clipping is also important, especially if you have an indoor cat. And just as with dogs, this should be started early on so they get used to it. If you’re feeling nervous about using clippers, ask your vet to show you the proper technique so you don’t injure the animal (rodents and reptiles need their nails trimmed, too). And don’t forget those pearly whites. Yes, a little teeth brushing two or three times a week goes a long way to remove plaque and tartar and keep an eye on the cat’s overall dental health. Just be sure to never use human toothpaste on your pets. As for finding the right groomer, check the reviews and ask friends for their recommendations, but at the end of the day, always rely on your gut instinct. Call says to always walk through a facility and check things out before you drop off your dog – have a viewing and make a surprise visit. Follow your instincts from there. Look around the premises and check the workspace. If you don’t feel comfortable leaving your pet there, don’t! Simply put, grooming helps keep your pet healthy and happy, gives time set aside for the two of you and can help you save on veterinary bills. So start grooming your pets early and enjoy the benefits of a happier, healthier furry friend. • Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching.

COMMUNITY VOICE
for the love of beardies B E A R D E D D R AG O N S , J U ST L I K E A N Y OT H E R P E T WE WERE ON THE AIR, talking about our pets and how much we loved them and eliciting listener response. I suppose I was going on and on about our bearded dragons a little too long, when a listener asked, “what on earth could be emotionally satisfying about having bearded dragons as pets?” I had to think about that for a moment, and realized these personable reptiles were just like any other pets. You fall in love with them, and they give a bit of devotional attention back to you. Jumpin’ Joe and Fancy Dancer came to me courtesy of our children, who had so much interest when they were the tiniest of dragon babies, but as is so often the case, their fascination started to wane when they realized they weren’t toys, but needed a lot of care and yes, affection. Bearded dragons come from a group of lizard species known as the Pogona. The beard refers to the underside of their throat, the beard, which can puff up and turn black when the lizard is stressed or threatened. I have seen it more than a few times and it is fascinating but it is not a daily occurrence. My dragons are generally pretty mellow, unless they see some activity in the yard beyond their enclosures (we separate them, because although they came to us as tiny babies and grew up together, they tend to fight with one another when they get older). When they see something outside that excites them, they will bob their heads up and down very rapidly and pound up and down on the glass. That behavior is known as “glass surfing”. Oh yes! These beardies can be very expressive, I’ll never forget the first time I saw our fancy dancer wave at me! She actually looked straight at me and wavednot unlike the gecko in the Geico commercial. I waved back. (Actually, the wave indicates they are in a submissive state.) It is the most amazing thing to see. I thought I was dreaming.

These beardies absolutely know when I walk in the room. They must have incredible eyesight because they can see me from a long way off. And they know when it’s time for their meal. They will stare me down until I bring them superworms, greens, strawberries and their summer favorite – watermelon. Beardies are affectionate, gregarious, and pretty fearless around people and other animals. There is some great video on YouTube of bearded dragons playing tug of war with dogs. Check out the corgi/bearded dragon videos on YouTube for some fascinating entertainment. Beardies like to be handled, and mine will rest on my chest, nuzzle in my hair and sleep under my chin. When we had the blizzard last winter and we were without power for their heat lamps, I put them inside my jacket and kept them warm with body heat. It was pretty touch and go, and I was worried sick about them, but with a group effort from my family, they made it (and so did we). Ten to 13 years is the average life span, and they grow up to 2 feet in length. I was never much of a reptile person, and for some of us it’s an acquired taste. Now I can’t imagine being without them. If you get interested, the folks at Petco, Pet Smart and Redding Reptiles will tell you all you need to know to get you started. Emotionally satisfying. Companion animals. Lots of love. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16.

H O R S E T H E R A P Y AT T R I P L E C R E E K R A N C H SMILES SPREAD LIKE like rays of sunshine as students ride, groom and care for their four-legged friends. These are the moments that heal. This is Triple Creek Ranch, participating in therapeutic horse riding. This equineassisted therapy consists of a complex intervention using horses and horse-related activities to positively influence cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being. The ranch is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization that helps special needs children and adults achieve balance of mind, body and spirit with Christian-based values. The therapeutic riding and youth program began in 2003. The horses on the ranch are all rescued and
trained and roam the 40-acre ranch. Research suggests that many students who participate in therapeutic riding have experienced physical, emotional and mental rewards. Horseback riding gently and rhythmically moves the riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, so riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle strength. The unique relationship formed with a horse can also lead to increased patience, confidence and self esteem. Riders benefit from the sense of independence found on horseback. Benefits are extended to those who choose to rest and relax with the horses, as well.4 continued on page 54

“I JUST ENJOY BEING ABLE TO SEE THE WORLD IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE HORSE, AND JUST BEING OUTSIDE. IF MY MOM HADN’T MET EILEEN AND TRIPLE CREEK RANCH I DON’T KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE.” Bill and Eileen Reese own Triple Creek Ranch and manage the program. Bill and his son are military veterans with special needs of their own, and the ranch has served as a healing place for both. “Having the privilege of caring for the beautiful horses every day and working with students has kept me going, especially during my hard days,” Reese says. “The horses have such a calming effect on me. Being able to see the smiles on people’s faces and seeing the changes the horses make is dramatic. It is second to none. The horses helped our son return to civilian life after his life-altering experience in Iraq. That was an amazing journey.” The grandchildren have all played a role in helping train the horses. Isabella was only 9 months old when she was started on Samson the miniature. Makaylla, Julietta, Samantha, Alex, JJ and Jewelynn all contributed to

cleaning pens, feeding, grooming, riding and developing the ranch. Nathan, their youngest son, developed the skills to train and work with horses at other prestigious ranches. Derek Longwell was born with spina bifida and was a student before becoming a volunteer. “I just enjoy being able to see the world in a different perspective and to be able to connect with the horse, and just being outside,” he says. “If my mom hadn’t met Eileen and Triple Creek Ranch, I don’t know where I would be.” Volunteers learn about each horse and gain skills by helping the students. They assist with activities including grooming, tacking and ranch hand duties. “We are blessed to have such wonderful volunteers, including Simpson University students, high school teens, veterans and Kohl’s employees,” Reese says.4 continued on page 56

“HORSES HAVE SO MUCH TO TEACH US IF WE ARE JUST WILLING TO WATCH AND LISTEN...”
Jon Wong goes to the ranch on weekends to help out. “Working with horses by leading and caring for them is equally good for me,” Wong says. “It is therapy to be on the ranch. I find a renewed spirit in the outdoors and have experienced real aspects of life and death on the ranch, as well as the required effort to maintain them.” Adds Reese, “Horses have so much to teach us if we are just willing to watch and listen.” In 2017, the ranch provided a home for five miniature horses. The herd now includes seven miniatures and eight horses. The horse family they acquired is related to the mini horse, Ryder. Ryder and Samson are especially popular and enjoy visiting in the community. All seven minis attend The Very Triple Creek Christmas event, where they pose for pictures with Santa and families. The program is seeking business sponsors now for this year’s Christmas event, scheduled for Dec. 7 and 8. The event is a free outreach to families that have children with special needs. It’s a place where parents can relax and have a fun family adventure with volunteers who understand the special needs of their child. As the day ends and the sun sets, the horses on the ranch rest for another day with special friends. • Triple Creek Ranch • (530) 527-9394

Ready? F I V E Q U E ST I O N S TO A S K YO U R S E L F W H E N ADOPTING A PET ADOPTING A PET from an animal shelter can be rewarding for both you and your new furball, as many wonderful, cute and loving animals are yearning for a permanent home. Plus, you are much more likely to find a pet thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already neutered and housebroken, and you may even save their life. However, bringing a pet into your home is a tremendous responsibility. Many dogs and cats need a lot of attention and mental stimulation, just like people do. Therefore, while pets provide great companionship and trust, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to ask yourself these five questions before introducing your new fur baby to their fur-ever home:4 continued on page 60
SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

1
Do you rent or own your home? Dogs (and cats) are known to chew on doors, tear up carpet, go to the bathroom in the house and get into other kinds of mischief while you are away. Preparing for a bit more wear and tear than you’re used to is inevitable with a new pet, which is why it’s important to make sure you can offer your pet a stable environment that you and/or your landlord is okay with. Some animal shelters require that you bring a lease as part of the application process to doublecheck the verbiage on what’s allowed in your living space.
2
Will your pet be kept indoors or outdoors? This is a big consideration, because if you have an indoor cat or dog – unless it is toilet trained – then where is your pet going to go to the bathroom? If Spot or Bella is meant to be inside, have a designated place that doesn’t interfere with your other roommates’ personal space. If it’s an indoor/outdoor pet, be sure to have a properly enclosed space or fenced-in backyard (keep in mind that huskies can jump six-foot fences) and pay attention to the weather elements.
3
Do you have time to take your dog on walks? If you have your heart set on adopting a cuddly pit bull, make sure it has a little room to roam. Dogs need exercise, and the fact that you’ll get some, too, is a bonus.
4
Do you already have pets? If so, bring them to the shelter to make sure your potential addition is compatible with your current roommates. Many people have a predetermined idea of what breed of dog they’re going to get, but then they end up going home with the furry friend that resonates the best with the rest of the crew.
5
Are you ready for the paperwork, or prepared for a delay in being able to take your pet home? Many animal shelters are just as committed to finding the proper match as you are and want to make sure that you are ready to love and keep a domesticated animal that could’ve previously been neglected or abused. That’s why many shelters require potential adopters to fill out an application form and give it a few days for it to be approved.

WISE
BACK TO SCHOOL
Here are a few good tips to get off to a great start: 1. VISIT THE SCHOOL: if your child will be walking to school, walk or ride the route your child will be taking, make a note of crossing guards and high traffic areas. Talk to your child about NOT talking to strangers and discuss the dangers. 2. INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER: ask about their preferred method of communication. (Some teachers prefer email and social media, while others prefer phone or in person meetings.) 3. MAKE HOMEWORK A PRIORITY: make homework times a daily habit. Find a quiet and consistent place at home where your child can complete his/ her homework. 4. PREPARE A STUDY AREA: Set up a special place at home to do homework. Remove distractions. Inform them that education is top priority, show interest and praise your child’s work. 5. TAKE CHARGE OF TV TIME: limit the time your child watches TV. Make TV time, family time. 6. GET EVERYONE TO BED ON TIME: During the summer, children aren’t always on a schedule, which is understandable. Help your child get back on
track by having them go to bed earlier and wake up earlier at least a week before school starts. 7. MAKE HEALTHY MEALS: Studies show that children who eat healthy, balanced breakfasts and lunches do better in school. Fix nutritious meals at home. If you need extra help, find out if your family qualifies for any programs. 8. GET A CHECK UP: It’s a good idea to take your child in for a physical and an eye exam before school starts. Most schools require up to date immunizations, and they may ask for paperwork showing that your child has all the necessary shots and vaccines. The Greenville Rancheria’s Pediatricians see a broad spectrum of patients from age 0 to 18 years. Services provided include: • CHDP’s (well child exams and immunizations) • Sports physicals • School physicals • WIC • Pre-Operative physicals

opt to
adopt
Adopting a dog or a cat from an animal shelter can be rewarding because you are helping shelters from becoming overcrowded and giving a deserving pet a new chance at life. Some of the biggest challenges to keep in mind are not only veterinary care costs, but providing your pet with proper stimulation tools such as toys, treats, pet perch, etc., that cater to your pet’s unique quirks and personality. It’s important when adopting a pet to know how to take care of them and accept full responsibility for your decision.
Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment, and the staff and volunteers at local adoption agencies can help you determine if the time is right to bring a new pet into your family. •

ONLY ONE BUILDING in Corning stands on the National Register of Historic Places, but its history is as strong as the Suffragettes who built it. The 1910 Craftsman-style home at 902 Marin Street continues today in its original mission as a clubhouse for the Maywood Woman’s Club. While the projects of the organization have changed a bit over time, they still remain dedicated to the needs of the Corning community and fellowship of area women. “I joined because my mother had been a member,” says Jenell Cook, president of the club and member since 2008. “I respected what they did, respected their history and wanted to see it continue. I was always working when she was a member so I wasn’t able to go to meetings. It’s kind of a legacy thing we were never able to do together.” Secretary/Historian Toni Lima concurs. “I was invited by a long-term member to join the club,” she says. “I love the history of not only the club but the larger organizations.” Those larger organizations are the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, both of which the local group joined in 1902. The latter, organized in 1890, is still the largest and oldest women’s volunteer organization in the world. In the early days, Maywood Woman’s Club members started and housed the Maywood Colony Library, the precursor to today’s public
library, and campaigned for a new high school. Success there took them to a campaign for an elementary school and then creation of the Corning Cemetery Association. They also championed women’s right to vote. Today, when elections roll around, the Maywood Woman’s Club advocates for participation. “We encourage all members to vote. As women we need to vote,” says Lima. “These ladies paid in blood for that right.” Lima is also the corresponding secretary for the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and attends statewide gatherings. Current membership of the Maywood Woman’s Club hovers around 30 and ranges in activity from support of local cancer patients, veterans, the local domestic violence shelter and student scholarships to Operation Smile, an international endeavor repairing cleft lip and cleft palate. “I’m the international outreach chairman,” says Cook. “Our main project is Operation Smile. We do a lot of sewing for them. We sew a lot of quilts, therapy dolls and goodie bags for each child.” In fact, the sewers of the group get in gear for many worthy projects, including placemats for the Christmas meals of the Corning Senior 4 continued on page 64 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Center, and twin-sized bed quilts and turtle pillows for children attending Turtle Camp through the Hole in the Wall Gang founded by Paul Newman. Any fleece scraps left over from the projects get sewn into doggie blankets for Second Chance Pet Rescue in Corning. There’s room for those who knit and crochet as well, as members contribute to the Knit Your Bit project at the World War II Museum in New Orleans. The initiative began at the museum in 2006 and has distributed more than 50,000 handmade scarves to veterans across the country. Also close to the hearts of members is a project to carefully cut out embroidered stars from retired United States flags to give to veterans and their family members on Memorial Day at the Veterans Hall. “It was very emotional,” says Cook. The stars are given with a card that reads, “I was once part of an American flag. I once flew over America, the land of the free because of the brave. I can no longer fly. The sun and wind have caused me to be tattered and torn. Please carry me as a reminder that you are not forgotten.” A long-standing project with renewed interest since the Camp and Carr fires is the Penny Pines Project, which promotes reforestation and conservation of our national forests. A $68 donation will plant

an acre of trees and the club has been ramping up its contributions in the wake of the fires. “When a member passes we’ll do a memorial for Penny Pines,” says Cook, noting that they are making general donations as well. The group’s major fundraiser, a series of bake sales, also turns out to be a form of community service. “Customers say they’re coming to do their Christmas baking,” laughs Lima, of the holiday bake sale. “Jenell’s peanut brittle sells out quickly.” Encouraging each woman who walks into the Maywood Woman’s Club is a bas-relief by George Julian Zolnay called A Woman’s Purpose as well as a medallion of the American Women’s League under the eaves. “It gives you a sense of community,” says Lima of the building and the club. “We’re all working toward the betterment of where we live and the world. We’re part of the larger scheme of things.” • Maywood Woman’s Club • 902 Marin St., Corning

M C H A L E ’ S S I G N C O. — A FA M I LY - R U N B U S I N E S S F O R 4 5 Y E A R S SIGNS INFORM, direct, connect. Try to picture a world without them. “Can you imagine if you traveled and there was no signage whatsoever? What would you do?” asks Pat Corey. Corey knows well the power of signs. He’s president of McHale Sign Co., a longtime family business in Redding. In the North State, if you see a sign high in the air along the freeway, branding a storefront, gracing a concrete monument, on a gas pump or announcing a performance on a lighted marquee, there’s a good chance McHale Sign Co. had something to do with it. With 18 employees and a large fleet of vehicles, McHale Sign Co. has been designing, fabricating, transporting, installing and maintaining signs for 45 years. Its prime territory is Northern California, but the company’s reach extends to other parts of the state and beyond. “It’s a great company to work with,” says Marc Swanson, construction manager for Black Bear Diner, headquartered in Redding. There are 131 Black Bear Diners spread across several states, and the majority of the signs were done by McHale Sign Co.
“The signage is very important,” Swanson says, noting signs are essential to branding and directing customers to the restaurants. McHale Sign Co. does a range of projects – working with large chains to small retailers. Projects involve not only making and installing signs, but also dealing with permitting. “We probably have 100 projects going right now,” Corey says. The company has a long history of supporting the community, such as bringing scoreboards to North State high schools, providing signs for One Safe Place and renovating Cascade Theatre’s historic neon sign in Redding. “We stripped that sign down to bare metal,” Corey says of the Cascade Theatre renovation. The project took a bit of detective work – following faint patterns so the sign could be illuminated in its original neon design. Corey has a soft spot for such nostalgic signs. “The old neons are just great,” he says. He plans to work with Shasta 4 continued on page 68

Historical Society to restore the Greyhound station sign and other bygone markers. McHale Sign Co. has done work for Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, including the large welcome arch spanning the entry. The colorful, multifaceted sign captures the multiple-theme mission of the park, notes Turtle Bay creative services officer Miki’ala Catalfano. Signs direct guests to Turtle Bay and to attractions within the park. People often don’t think much about signs if the signs are doing their job, but if there’s a lack of signage or the signs are unclear about which direction to go, that does get noticed, she says. “We want our guests to have an experience that is not frustrating,” Catalfano says. McHale Sign Co. has established itself as “the go-to place” for sophisticated signage, Catalfano says. “They are really great people.” Corey was the 2016 Redding Citizen of the Year and has been honored as Redding Chamber Businessperson of the Year and Rotary Club of Redding’s Rotarian of the Year. He’s been involved with Shasta Economic Development Corporation, Millville Volunteer Fire Department, Rotary Club of Redding and Redding Chamber of Commerce. “If you give to the community, it gives back,” Corey says. McHale Sign Co. was started in 1974 by Jerry and Betty McHale. Corey began working there part-time in high school when he was dating the McHales’ daughter Bernice. He graduated from Enterprise High School in Redding in 1977; Bernice in 1978. They married in 1979 and became partners in the sign company the following year. They’ve owned it since 1995 and will pass the business on to the third generation – son Kevin and his wife, Jamie, both of whom work for McHale Sign Co.. The Coreys are longtime Millville residents. Daughters Ashley Kellogg and Annette Wilson also reside in the North State. The sense
of community plus outdoor opportunities make the region special, Corey says. “I’m an outdoor guy. I fish, hunt and spend time in the mountains,” he says. He’s seen lots of changes with sign production over the years. Neon and fluorescent signs have been overtaken by low-voltage LED-illuminated signs. Materials now include composites, laminates, high-density foams and translucent vinyls. Corey recalls hand-drawing designs and hand-cutting letters from metal sheets in the early days. “Now we have computerized cutters. Everything is done on computer,” he says. Craftsmanship remains paramount. A sign is a first impression, after all. “What’s outside reflects what’s inside,” Corey says. He enjoys being in the sign business, noting each job is different. “It’s rewarding building a customer base and having customers appreciate what you do,” he says. •

The two-day bocce ball tournament is more than playing bocce – it includes games for the kids, a night of dancing, vendors selling unique crafts and wares and the opportunity to win a variety of prizes. Don’t forget the delicious pasta and meatballs, sausage, salad, ice cream and cannolis – how can one decline? It’s a weekend of family-friendly partying designed for all ages to enjoy. This year’s event takes place Sept. 13 and 14 at South City Park in Redding. “I’m one of the members that helps organize bocce for our
Paesano Days Tournament as well as the spring, fall and senior bocce leagues that play at South City Park,” says 30-year Sons of Italy member John Tasello. “I have played bocce at every Paesano Days event since joining. We participated in the building of the bocce courts in 2016 with three goals in mind: To have a successful community event at the park, to make the park family-friendly again and to highlight bocce in the North State.” The Sons of Italy are grateful for the help they have received from community members like Rick Bosetti of Tiger Field and the City of Redding in their efforts to improve South City Park. “With Bosetti4 continued on page 72

leading the effort to install the fencing, and the city allowing public access with a ‘permit-reservation-only’ policy, the park is once again a nice place for people to spend the day with their families,” says Tasello. “We also teamed up with the Special Olympics community to get their members playing bocce,” Tasello continues. “They have been playing and practicing at the courts since we completed them and have been very successful in competing in the state Special Olympics competitions.” The Sons of Italy also host the Media Bocce Paesano Days Tournament in which Enjoy Magazine participated last year. “We decided to participate in the media tournament mainly for my mom,” says Ronda Alvey, editor in chief of Enjoy Magazine. “My mom had recently moved to Redding and played on a bocce team when she lived in Rio Vista, so she was very excited when I asked if she wanted to play on the Enjoy team.” The Enjoy team was made up of Alvey, her mom, her husband and her co-worker Emily, and, to their surprise, they won the tournament.

“My husband had played very little, and Emily and I never played before that night, so we were shocked that we won,” Alvey says with a laugh. “My 82-year-old mom was our secret weapon, and we had a blast!” With the growing popularity of bocce in the Redding area, it’s safe to say the Sons of Italy are achieving their goals. “Bocce is part of our Italian heritage, and Italian or not, it is a great game for all ages,” says Tasello. • www.reddingsonsofitaly.com

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:

R E D D I N G R O OT S R E V I VA L M U S I C F E S T I VA L I N D O W N TO W N R E D D I N G THE THREE JS helping to spearhead next month’s first Redding Roots Revival music festival – Janelle Pierson, Jonathan Foster and Janis Logan – have each experienced how music can transform a community. Pierson and Logan have seen the magic firsthand at the Sisters Folk Festival, when music lovers from around the world pack the small downtown of Sisters, Ore., and walk from venue to venue to hear some of the biggest names in Americana, folk, bluegrass, Celtic and blues. Pierson, who owns Bridgehouse Bed and Breakfast in downtown Redding, has frequently teamed up with Logan, the former co-owner of Vintage Public House, to
house artists that Logan booked at her restaurant. Soon, both women were on a first-name basis with performers, managers and booking agents. Foster, a singer-songwriter just back from a national tour in support of his latest recording, founded a record label, Miracle Mile Records, specifically to give independent North State artists a voice and to create more opportunities for performances. The idea of forging those interests, experiences and connections into “a sustainable festival focused on downtown” began percolating in January 2018, Foster says. By the following January, the fledgling committee4 continued on page 76 SEPTEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

secured its nonprofit status under the umbrella of Folk Alliance International, an organization focused on preserving and presenting folk music. Foster says the festival is the result of a cross-pollination or comingling of the efforts put forth by the Oaksong Society (a nonprofit that produced an annual concert series for 20 years before calling it quits this summer), the relationships Logan and Pierson have established with touring artists and the work by Craig Boyer, a musician whose weekly show on community radio station KKRN (88.5 FM) often focuses on local artists. The Redding Roots Revival Committee’s mission: promote downtown Redding through a weekend of live music by regional and national acts and launching an annual festival that helps pump energy into the recently designated Redding Cultural District. The result: A two-day festival with continuous entertainment by 18 confirmed acts (with more to be added) on two main outdoor stages that are within easy walking distance of each other. Both will offer food and beverage options and festivalgoers will be encouraged to explore other downtown venues that will be hosting local acts. California Street Labs, on the site of the former Redding police station, and The Park, the food truck hub that recently opened in Library Park behind the Lorenz Hotel, were selected as the principal venues for the festival. The McConnell Foundation and Dignity Health have signed on as the main sponsors, so performances at California Street Labs will be on the McConnell Stage and bands playing in The Park will be on the Dignity Health stage. Music starts at 5 pm Friday, Oct. 18, on the McConnell Stage and culminates with the headliner Achilles Wheel, a rootsy jam band out of Nevada City. The music goes full-bore on Saturday at both venues starting at noon. Live music at The Park will wrap up at 8 pm, allowing time for fans to switch to California Street Labs for Painted Mandolin, Saturday’s headliner. Painted Mandolin is anchored by multiinstrumentalist Joe Craven, a veritable institution at North State music festivals. Acts already confirmed for the Redding Roots Revival include Weaverville’s Buckhorn Mountain Stompers, Jelly Bread, David Jacobs-Strain, Sarah Aili, Ashley Flynn & the Riveters, the Sky Colony, Sugarkane & Co., Liz Longley, Jamie Kent, Szlachetka, Jessica Malone, Clear Cut and One Sol. More artists are expected to be added to the roster, Pierson says, and all acts are family friendly. Live music will be available at some downtown restaurants, including Vintage Public House, so if festivalgoers want to step out for a meal, they’ll still be entertained. “Hopefully we can grow this year by year,” Foster says. • Tickets: Adult two-day pass, $35; children ages 11 to 17, $10; children 10 and younger, free • www.reddingrootsrevival.com

MARY ’S PIZZA SHACK LINGUINE WITH CLAMS SERVES 4
We have partnered with Kathy Byerly and Mary’s Pizza Shack for this month’s recipe. This one is right out the pages of the recipe book, “Mary’s Italian Family Cookbook.” From the recipe book: “A specialty of Italy’s coastal regions, especially around Veneto at the top of the Adriatic Sea, linguine with clams is traditionally made with fresh clams in the shell, which is how we used to do in the restaurant. Without losing any of the flavor, we have simplified the recipe with canned clams, tossed with plenty of garlic, wine and parsley. Don’t forget to save the clam juice, as it makes a great base for the sauce.” Enjoy
Visit Mary’s Pizza Shack in Redding and Anderson this month and give it a try. Then create it yourself using their recipe.
INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. dried linguine Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 5 cloves garlic, minced 1⁄2 tsp. red pepper flakes 3 cans (10 oz. each) whole clams, drained and juice reserved 3⁄4 cup white wine 2 T salted butter 3 T finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9 minutes or according to the package directions. Scoop out and set aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta in a colander and keep warm. STEP 2: Just before the pasta is ready, in a large saucepan over medium heat, warm together the oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until the garlic softens but does not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the clams, wine and 1/4 cup of the reserved clam juice and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the clams are warmed through, about 3 minutes.
STEP 3: Remove from the heat, add the butter and 1 tablespoon of the parsley, and mix well. Add the pasta and stir and toss gently to mix well, adding the reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, as needed to loosen the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. STEP 2: Transfer to a serving platter or divide evenly among individual pasta bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and serve.

Free College? The Top 4 Ways to Hack the System Is there such a thing as “free college”? While many may still grapple with books, supplies and living expenses, students who take the following four steps can significantly reduce the cost of a college education – or even make it truly free! Complete the FAFSA. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.gov is the place to start. Eligibility for student aid includes financial need, being enrolled in an eligible program and being a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen. There’s no income cut-off to qualify. Many families who presume they don’t qualify leave money on the table by not completing the FAFSA. Apply for Grants and Scholarships. Simple enough, but many don’t do it. Students improve their chances to earn a CalGrant if they apply by March 2. Many scholarships go unawarded each year. College financial aid offices like the one at Shasta College can direct students to scholarship opportunities.
A.P. Courses and Concurrent Enrollment. Both allow students the opportunity to earn college credit, satisfy college requirements and improve a college application. Most importantly, this method may reduce college costs by allowing students to skip or waive courses – and potentially graduate even sooner. Enroll in Community College. The most recent state budget includes funding for a tuition-free first and second year at a California Community College like Shasta College. To qualify, students need to complete the FAFSA and enroll in at least 12 units. Details may vary by college. Community colleges also help university-bound students complete general education requirements, enjoy smaller class sizes for more focused attention, and live at home to save up for moving away to a university.
