Enjoy Expert Individualized Care From A Board Certified OB/GYN At Every Appointment SAM VAN KIRK MD OBGYN, FACOG 2139 Airpark Dr Redding, CA 96001 530-247-0270 The first thing I did was search for people that had fought stage IV cancer and won. I needed to know that it was possible. I researched the best diets to beat cancer, and came up with a healthy nutrition plan. To make sure I was ready for battle, I sported a mohawk before all my hair fell out. I did 6 rounds of chemotherapy and then went into a maintenance treatment every three weeks. One year later the cancer was back, but my amazing team of doctors were on it: Dr. Ali, my oncologist, Dr. Sandberg who did my lumpectomy, Dr. Van Kirk who did my oophorectomy, and Dr. Telli in Stanford. I also ended up having to do radiation (my body went through a lot in 2017). I was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer in the spring of 2016. I was 38 years old. The cancer had spread throughout my body. It was in my left breast, four lymph nodes, my spine, liver, and hip bone. The first thing that went through my mind was all the milestones that I would miss if my children had to grow up without me. My only option was to beat cancer. With the support of my husband, family and friends, I started what turned out to be a lifelong battle.
Since the fall of 2017, after my surgeries, I have continued to have clear scans. I will remain on my maintenance treatment through my port every three weeks and have found that a plant based diet works best for me. I now know that it’s possible. I want you to know that it is possible, I’m proof! I’m doing it! I’m beating Stage IV Cancer and I’m here for all the milestones as my children grow up!

my town
MELINDA HUNTER, REDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: WITH STRENGTH AND BEAUTY I have lived in Redding for 26 years and have enjoyed every moment. Whenever I travel, it makes me appreciate Redding so much more. The traffic is minimal, which allows us to spend more time with our families or doing things that we enjoy doing. We live in such a beautiful place that has so much to offer. Our town is filled with beauty, in every direction you look. There is so much to do outdoors, including the Sundial Bridge, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, Whiskeytown Lake, Lake Shasta, Shasta Dam, Sacramento River Trail, Shasta State Historic Park, numerous other parks, many waterfalls and biking trails everywhere. We live in a smaller community, but there are always functions or events taking place – ours is definitely a lively town. Our community is compassionate, resilient and strong. We have been through a lot and it’s amazing to see people come together in times of traumatic circumstances. When people have made a positive impact on our community, they are recognized. I often hear, “We lift as we climb,” and that is the truth. There is so much leadership, mentorship and opportunity right here, and with new development in the works, I’m excited to see how our city will flourish even more once these big projects are completed.
Being a photographer, my town’s beauty is my escape. I thrive on creating portraits of people and nature in our beautiful surroundings. Through the gift of photography, I have met so many people that become friends. If my camera is not in my hand, my cellphone is in my hand taking photos daily. I love history and through photography I get to capture just that, whether it is people, places or my town’s landscapes.

that community built

T H E CA R R F I R E VO LU N T E E R H O U S I N G P R OJ E C T “WHEN WE FIRST HEARD about the idea, it seemed too good to be true. I kept thinking: ‘It could be sticky.’ I wondered if it was going to get weird. I felt there would be a catch – but there wasn’t one. It was a gaping wound in our family that was turned into something beautiful,” says Katie Luther. The “gaping wound” Luther speaks of was a small house on Willis Street in Downtown Redding, a property that had been in her family for more than three decades. It sat vacant and in disrepair for two and a half years, after the woman who had begun a transformation into a drug-free
life suddenly fell back into hard times and ended up evicted from the property. The family simply didn’t have the money to do anything with it. The house was initially purchased by Luther’s father, Jim, as an investment property. “He wanted the houses to be a fresh start for people that needed it – he was always interested in helping people to make a transformation. My dad used to volunteer at The Good News Rescue Mission. He was very active in the service community,” says Luther.4 continued on page 20 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Luther received a call from Wendy and Sam Van Kirk, in the midst of the Carr Fire, with an idea that would change the fate of the house – and build friendships and a sense of community right along with it. Wendy, a registered nurse, and Sam, a physician, not only had connections to the medical community, but had a passion for the neighborhood itself. Their home sat just across the way from the little house on Willis Street. They had seen the house go through changes but saw potential for it to become something more. As the Carr Fire ravaged the west side of Redding, the Van Kirks, feeling a deep sense of sadness and what they described as “survivor’s guilt,” began wandering their lonely downtown neighborhood trying to figure out how they could help. “We wondered where all of those people were going to go. There were 1,400 people displaced and only 700 available homes in the Redding area. We noticed several vacant homes and thought it would be perfect if they could somehow be available to those displaced in our community. I shared the idea on Facebook and found that there were lots of people who wanted to help. We knew it would be a tremendous benefit not only to the homeowner, but to the neighborhood, the community, and, especially, to those who had lost their homes to the fire,” says Wendy. “We knew we couldn’t just have this house sit empty. It didn’t feel right,” says Luther. So, she pushed past her trepidation with the goal of allowing the home to become a fresh start for a Carr Fire family. The result became the ultimate gathering of hands and hearts. A phenomenal cross-section of people – from neighbors, to the church community, to the medical community, to people with and without experience building homes, to those who had bounced back from life challenges, to local business owners and laypeople, and everyone in between – joined forces on what became known as The Carr Fire Volunteer Housing Project. Donations of time were one thing, but the project saw donations of materials pour in from local businesses, community members and volunteers alike. According to Luther, approximately two-thirds of what went into the home was donated, and the other one-third was purchased. Shawn Parker of Living Water Landscaping landscaped the front yard, while Lassen Landscape donated the materials. Tess Woodford, who pioneered Carr Fire Furnishings with her husband Bil Woodford, found siding that was era-specific to maintain the integrity of the home, built in the 1920s. Additionally, Woodford routed specific items, like light fixtures, to contribute to the refurbishment of the home. Those who came to volunteer at the little house on Willis Street used their own connections to procure additional items, including flooring, paint and countertops. Nail by nail, tile by tile, piece by piece, they saw to it that each nook and cranny was covered. “We had heart surgeons doing drywall and mortgage brokers spackling walls. One gentleman, who had once gotten high in that house and had since turned his life around, volunteered on the project to help this house become a blessing for someone else. There were two 4 ontinued on page 22

“...We noticed several vacant homes and thought it would be perfect if they could somehow be available to those displaced in our community. I shared the idea on Facebook and found that there were lots of people who wanted to help. We knew it would be a tremendous benefit not only to the homeowner, but to the neighborhood, the community, and, especially, to those who had lost their homes to the fire,” says Wendy Van Kirk.
gentlemen – Kevin Baird, a registered nurse and the Stroke Program Coordinator at Mercy Medical Center, and Jim Lamb, a retired contractor – who came almost every day to help. I learned so much from them,” says Luther. “The friendships that have come from this project are as much of a blessing as the house itself,” Luther says. “To be the recipient of such a large outpouring of love from the community feels like a gift from heaven. For the house to have been through such changes and to see it come to such good for someone else could only be described as redemption. It felt like God saw me.” “It felt good to be able to do something to help. Our lives were blessed by the amazing and generous volunteers – some of whom had lost their own homes. Our neighborhood was blessed by this home, itself – and the people in it,” says Wendy Van Kirk. In 2016, the same year Luther lost her father to cancer, she had a vision that the house would experience yet another transformation. Her dad, who was given three days to live more than 20 years ago, had beaten the odds, surviving autoimmune disease, kidney failure and cancer. “Nothing could take him down,” says Luther. His purpose, it seemed, was helping to transform the lives of others. In September 2018, the transformation of that little house on Willis Street became a fresh start for a couple who had lost everything in the Carr Fire. Today, Jim Luther’s legacy lives on through his daughter: “I used to worry that my dad was being taken advantage of,” Katie says. “When you are removed from it and all you see is the outcome, you wonder why someone would take the risk. But once I became the one making decisions, I began to wonder what I could do to help. My dad loved on people so well. I understand why my dad did what he did, now. I have the same heart for taking care of others.” •

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS
D I A M O N D i n th e R O U G H THE OLD DIAMOND BAR IN YREKA IF THE BAR COULD TALK, it would have one heck of a tale to tell. The 30-foot-long mahogany bar could start with its manufacture, at the Brunswick-BalkeCollender Co. in Chicago in the 1850s. The backbar, made with rich cherrywood, could spin a yarn about how, as legend has it, it was brought around Cape Horn aboard a sailing ship, making the long journey from Bristol, England, to the prosperous copper mining town of Kennett in the late 1800s. In Kennett, the story picks up even more steam. The bar and ornate, triple-arched backbar combined to become the centerpiece of the Diamond Saloon, a wildly popular watering hole that had become the centerpiece of a bustling town packed full of saloons. The Diamond was the pride and joy of proprietor Victor “Slim� Warrens, an astute entrepreneur with a penchant for diamonds. A fashionable dresser, Slim was always seen wearing an ascot accented with a large diamond stickpin. As the story goes, he would occasionally use the stickpin as collateral when starting a new business. One of those businesses was a second Diamond Saloon in the small town of Hilt near the Oregon border. 4 continued on page 26 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“YOU HAVE TO REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING,” HE SAYS. “THEY BROUGHT THE FRONT BAR IN BACKWARDS AND THE FOOT RAIL WAS ON BARTENDER’S SIDE. THEY HAD TO PICK IT UP, TAKE IT OUT ON THE STREET AND MARCH IT ALL THE WAY BACK IN AGAIN.”
Alas, sparkling diamonds weren’t enough to keep Kennett going. The end of World War I reduced the market for copper and environmental concerns took their toll on the copper smelting industry; in 1923, Kennett’s largest employer, the Mammoth Mine, closed. By 1944 and the completion of Shasta Dam, the remains of Kennett were under 400 feet of Shasta Lake’s cool green water. Well before that watery demise, however, Warrens relocated a section of the bar to his saloon in Hilt. Hilt, too, was a hopping place during its heyday. The Fruit Growers Supply Co. operated a lumber mill that produced wooden crates used to ship Sunkist oranges on railcars before the advent of cardboard boxes. It was a company town and the sawmill workers would slake their thirst at the Diamond. And just like Kennett, Hilt’s fortunes eventually faded. During Prohibition, the Diamond limped along as a soda fountain and general store and by the early 1950s it was shuttered. The saloon’s beautiful bar was stored in a barn. The sawmill shut down in 1973 and burned in a fire the following year. The bar’s story doesn’t end there, however, thanks to members of the Yreka Elks Lodge No. 1980. In 1957, two years after the lodge was established, the Elks acquired the Diamond Saloon bar and installed it in their historic lodge building at the corner of Miner and Oregon streets in downtown Yreka. Locating the bar was easy, says Brian Favero, the lodge’s exalted ruler. His grandfather Angelo was the maintenance man at the Diamond Saloon in Hilt and knew all about the bar. Favero’s father, Dominic, worked around the club as a boy. Installing the bar wasn’t as easy. Favero said the backbar is composed of three sections that fit together with finely crafted mortise and tenon joints. “You have to really know what you’re doing,” he says. The Elks weren’t quite up to the task when it came to putting in the 30-footlong front bar. “They brought the front bar in backwards and the foot rail was on bartender’s side. They had to pick it up, take it out on the street and march it all the way back in again.” The Elks paid $2,500 for the bar and backbar. Some oil paintings, lighting fixtures and a partition – complete with a bullet hole from when a couple of robbers made off with two of Slim’s diamond rings in 1914 – were included in the deal. Antique dealers offered as much as $50,000 for the bar and backbar in the 1960s and in the 1970s it was appraised at $70,000. Bryan Duncan, a member of the Yreka Elks’ board of officers, says the membership has its own appraised value: priceless. Duncan is not a drinking man himself, but he says he still enjoys sitting at the bar, having a soda and savoring the fact that he’s looking “at the same mirrors the miners and dancehall girls would look into.” For Favero, the bar is the backbone of the lodge, a resplendent link to North State history and a personal tie to an idyllic youth in Hilt and fond memories of his grandfather. • Yreka Elks Lodge No. 1980 • 332 W.

GROWING SUCCULENTS W I T H M O U N TA I N C R E S T GARDENS ROMAN PHILOSOPHER Seneca once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” When speaking of Mountain Crest Gardens in Fort Jones, Seneca’s statement might work better the other way around: opportunity is what happens when preparation meets luck. The family-owned nursery sells succulents – those plants known traditionally as rock garden or container plants, and usually recognized by the fleshy parts that help them retain water in arid climates. The word “succulent” comes from the Latin word sucus, which to Seneca would have meant “juice” or “sap.” Founded in 1995, the nursery was created by local nurseryman Tom Jopson. It was a sister operation to his already established Cal Forest Nursery, a conifer tree seedling business that’s now one of the largest reforestation nurseries in the Pacific Northwest and still shares greenhouse space with Mountain Crest headquarters in Fort Jones. For the first decade of its existence, Mountain Crest Gardens focused on wholesale container gardens and preplanted “gift” products to large distributors like Walgreens and Walmart. Then, in 2005 it shifted to selling plants directly to the consumer. “We finally gave up on the wholesale thing after we sent a full pallet of our planted gift products to a Walmart distribution center. After a 4 continued on page 30 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

month, we got a notice that said we’d labeled it incorrectly and the whole pallet was getting sent back and, of course, the plants were all dead. You might be able to get away with that in the non-perishable world, but in the plant world, forget it,” explains Vice President Matts Jopson, son of founder Tom Jopson.

As luck would have it, the timing of that change couldn’t have been better. In 2006, Debra Lee Baldwin published her first book, “Designing with Succulents,” which introduced succulents in a big way to the general gardening population. “Until then, the focus had been

Even Jopson’s sister, who lives in Los Angeles, helps make the
videos on plant care that live on the website. For Jopson, that’s part of what why his work feels so fulfilling. “With a family business you have a vested interest, right? And that’s a really compelling reason to work really hard and put everything you’ve got into it.” Jopson is also excited about future expansion. “We’re starting to get into the world of succulents in restaurants and indoor business décor, and we’re trying to do it in a way that’s unique to the marketplace.”• Mountain Crest Gardens • 402 Bridge St., Fort Jones (877) 656-4035 • mountaincrestgardens.com Megan Peterson is a Chico native and currently lives in Etna.

K N OW YO U R S T U F F W H E N I T CO M E S TO ‘CLEAN BEAUT Y’ BRING ON THE LUXURIOUS, incredible-smelling, beautifully pigmented beauty products. We love to bask in the smells and indulge in the sumptuous ingredients. But have you ever wondered what exactly is in that face cream or perfume? The beauty buzzword of the moment is “clean.” Along with terms “green” and “natural,” clean beauty is a term used to describe certain types of skincare, hair, makeup and fragrance products. So what does clean beauty mean? It means a non-toxic product that is made without a long list of ingredients linked to harmful health effects. Despite a booming industry, U.S. laws for cosmetics safety are largely unchanged since the last piece of regulation was passed in 1938. This means the personal care industry is largely unregulated, meaning companies are basically free to use whatever adjectives they want when marketing and “greenwashing” their products – green, natural, eco – literally have no enforceable definition. In other words, what is touted on the front of the label in no way needs to match the list of ingredients on the back. People are more concerned than ever about health and the environment, and it’s leading us to question what exactly is in the products we are applying directly on our skin. Retailers are catching on that consumers want cosmetics and beauty products that aren’t laden with potentially harmful ingredients. But identifying the “cleanest” makeup products or “safest” cosmetic brands on the market isn’t as easy as it sounds. In the United States – unlike in Europe and Canada, where well over 1,300 unsafe ingredients are banned for use in beauty products – the FDA has prohibited only 11 ingredients or compounds. Nor does the FDA have to approve beauty products before they hit the shelves. The onus goes to you, the consumer, if you want to educate yourself on clean beauty. 4 continued on page 36 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Sephora has recently launched “Clean at Sephora,” an initiative in which the beauty brand has named 2,000 of its products as “clean,” meaning they are free of ingredients like sulfates, parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates and mineral oil. And wellness juggernaut goop has also launched a “clean” beauty line to reflect the absence of ingredients linked to harmful health effects, from hormone disruption to cancer. As for other “clean beauty” terms, there’s an overload of related claims and buzzwords on product packaging. Here’s a rundown on what some of these terms mean. “NATURAL” OR “ALL-NATURAL.” Implies that a product is made from ingredients sourced from nature and minimally modified. Few ingredients are used as-is from nature, so you can trust it when you see the Ecocert Natural Cosmetic stamp, which means at least half the ingredients are plant-based. “ORGANIC.” The product’s ingredients and formula are produced without harmful pesticides. This is the only government-regulated term in the “clean” beauty space. Trust it when it’s USDA-Certified Organic (contains at least 95 percent organically-cultivated ingredients) or NSF Organic-Certified (at least 70 percent organic ingredients). “NATURALLY DERIVED.” Implies the natural ingredients in a product have undergone some chemical processing. When you see this term, or others such as “made with natural ingredients,” look for a qualifier as to what percentage of ingredients it applies to. “CHEMICAL FREE.” Implies a product doesn’t contain harmful ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene or lead. However, every ingredient, natural or synthetic, is made up of chemicals. Trust it when it is ingredient specific, as in “paraben free,” and holds a seal of approval from a company that validates ingredient claims.
“NONTOXIC.”
Implies the product is not harmful to humans, but such a general term is useless unless it applies to a specific ingredient. After all, anything can be harmful in large quantities – even drinking water. Bottom line: don’t trust this line. “GREEN” OR “SUSTAINABLE.” Implies products are developed with minimal present and future environmental impact. This broad term applies to everything from how a product is made to how it’s made, packaged, distributed and disposed of. Look for certifications to validate both sustainability and product performance. So what does this all mean for the average consumer? Do your research. If you’re concerned about what you are putting into your body, be just as concerned about what you are putting on it. Do an ingredient check – if you don’t know what something is, look it up. Choose fragrance- and dye-free; choose products with less packaging; look for companies that give back. Do a little shopping around and enjoy a clean beauty movement in your own home. •

J E N N I F E R J E W E L L’ S C U LT I VAT I N G P L AC E JENNIFER JEWELL TAKES GARDENING beyond tomato, lawn and rosebush. The host of North State Public Radio’s “Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden” approaches gardens as combinations of history, culture and nature. One of the most important things to grow in such places is curiosity. “The more we learn, the more we care. And the more we care, the more we do,” Jewell says. Jewell’s on-air explorations began in 2008 with a regional radio segment, “In a North State Garden.” The four-minute spot took root, flourished and led to “Cultivating Place,” a show with one-hour weekly episodes that launched in 2016. “Cultivating Place” is produced by North State Public Radio in Chico, which broadcasts throughout the North State. The show’s reach extends beyond the region. Distributed via the Public Radio Broadcast Exchange, it is picked up regularly by stations in Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Idaho and other states. Additionally, the podcast of the show has close to 20,000 subscribers from across the country and other countries, Jewell notes.
North State Public Radio General Manager Phil Wilke appreciates how Jewell provides valuable information in a conversational way that makes for great radio. “I’m amazed at the level of knowledge she has. She’s a 24/7 horticulture machine,” Wilke says. Jewell received the Association for Garden Communicators 2018 Gold Medal for Best On-Air Talent. Her book, “The Earth in Her Hands: 75 Extraordinary Women Reimagine Life with Plants” will be released by Timber Press in March. She’s working on a second book with photographer Caitlin Atkinson about gardens in the West that offer lessons on climate and resource use. Jewell’s guests on “Cultivating Place” have included botanists, ecologists, entomologists, researchers, authors, farmers, bloggers and more. The tangle of topics has encompassed fruit foraging, spiny plants, social justice, indigenous practices, microbes, botanical artistry and wildfire recovery. Places explored range from Kansas prairies and a garden in the Bronx to Thomas Jefferson’s estate at Monticello. “My real purpose is trying to be a voice that offsets the concept that gardening is just a hobby for people who don’t have anything better to do,” Jewell says.4 continued on page 40 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“There were broad themes that I wanted to follow more deeply,” she says. Expanding to the hour-long format and connecting to experts across the nation and in other countries provide new opportunities for important cultural conversations. “Cultivating Place” is built around furthering understanding and encouraging gardening. “My greatest advocacy is to garden,” Jewell says. “Get out there.” Being in the garden is “as important as reading a good book or eating a good meal. These are things that make our lives better,” she says. Her small home garden on the outskirts of Chico has a hodgepodge of botanical characters: buckwheats, salvias, penstemons, manzanitas, roses, lavender, herbs and winter greens. “It makes me happy in very small ways,” Jewell says. “It reminds me that I am just one little piece in a bigger, more complex whole.” • “Cultivating Place” airs 10 am Thursdays and 9 am Sundays on North State Public Radio (KFPR 88.9 FM in Redding and KCHO 91.7 in Chico). Podcasts of show are available at www.cultivatingplace.com

The impulse to grow plants is timeless – something that transcends age, gender, politics, income and religion, Jewell says. “It is such common ground.” She describes being a gardener as “beautiful, but not always pretty. It is muddy, scratchy, fragrant, flavorful, fun, heartbreaking and heart-fueling.” Jewell was introduced to the wonders of nature by her wildlife biologist father and florist/gardener mother. “How the ecosystem worked was naturally intertwined with how we gardened,” she says. She earned a liberal arts degree from Harvard University and went on to work as a writer. Her early career included assignments for glossy garden magazines. As she learned and matured as a gardener – and as the mother of two young girls – she found herself questioning the popular media messaging about gardening. “It felt – certainly at the time, in the 1990s and early 2000s – that it was about consumerism, aesthetic and lifestyle. Gardening was something you could buy. It perked up your house. It was a status symbol,” Jewell says. That wasn’t what she believed. Gardening, Jewell says, should be inspirational, not aspirational. Following the family’s move to Chico, she came across an opportunity to engage in garden communications in a different way. The public radio station was seeking volunteers to write public service announcements. She responded by pitching a plan: “I think you guys should do a gardening program, and I think I should do it for you.” So began “In a North State Garden.” The weekly 4-minute program began airing in 2008 with Jewell tapping into the regional expertise of native plant advocates, arborists, botanists and other gardening enthusiasts. “We have one of the most diverse, interested and engaged group of plant lovers that I have seen anywhere,” she says. The segment, which linked to articles she wrote and posted on her website, ran for eight years. Jewell then made the jump to “Cultivating Place.”

P R O J E C T S , FA R M S , F E S T I VA L S A N D E V E N T S I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E OUR FRIENDS Margarita and Paul recently dropped off a jar of local, homemade apricot jam. They had harvested the fruit themselves at a local farm, gone home to gather all the canning gear and produced a big batch for family and friends. We consumed the whole jar in just a few days, and it was some inspiration to look around and take advantage of the bounty all around us. As we pack in our own summer gardens, we can keep the gardening spirit alive with a fall abundance of projects, farms, festivals and events in Northern California. Obviously, October is a huge month for pumpkins. Pumpkin patches are the go-to family expedition this month. In Shasta County, Nash Ranch and Hawes Farms are two of the biggest pumpkin patches to visit. Both have a variety of other activities like corn mazes and food, but the wide array of pumpkins are the stars as we head into Halloween and Thanksgiving. Pumpkinland Chocolate Company on Highway 99 in Los Molinos is known for their pumpkins too, but I’m sure you caught the mention of chocolate! Huge chocolate covered apples, amazing chocolate turtles and so much more. So many varieties of apples are plentiful here in the North State. The Manton Apple Festival is Oct. 5 and that’s your shot at purchasing bushels of local apples, lots of pies, other apple food products, plus art, jewelry and more. Think you have the best apple pie around? Enter the pie baking contest and let the experts weigh in.
If you’re in the mood to harvest items yourself, “youpick” farms are scattered all over Northern California. The Serendipity U-Pick Ranch in Anderson has cherries, berries, apples, plums, figs, flowers and more all summer long. As we merge into fall, apples, persimmons, squash and even the last of the tomato crop are available to harvest and take home. If you’ve never had a persimmon cookie during the holidays, you are truly missing out. Fruits, vegetables, vines and herbs also make for some beautiful fall and holiday decorations. Most of the lavender farms in the area are closed for the year, but several have continuing classes and items to purchase for wreath and décor making. Lavineyard Farms of Whitmore is hosting several lavender wreath workshops at the end of the month. The finished products are fantastic and make for perfect seasonal displays or gifts. Fall is also the time we cull the grapevines off the trunk. Those vines are super-versatile for autumn crafts and wreaths. If you’re interested in any of the farms, events or classes listed above, all the companies and locations mentioned have websites or a Facebook presence to keep you informed. Enjoy the bounty of fall! • Patrick John has been working the radio airwaves in Redding for 22 years as co-host of Billy & Patrick Mornings.

C H E E R S TO F I F T Y Y E A R S O F L I V E T H E AT E R A N D M U S I C THE VERY FIRST production in the new theater was Oscar Wilde’s witty comedy of manners, “The Importance Of Being Earnest.” That was followed by 50 years of live theater: Broadway musicals, classic and modern drama, as well as countless performances by vocal and instrumental ensembles. The College of the Siskiyous will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Kenneth Ford Theater with live theater and music the weekend of Oct. 11-13. The history of the Kenneth Ford Theater is inextricably linked with an enthusiastic director and playwright named Jim Witherell. He was hired by the new community college in 1963 to teach English and journalism. Witherell had been involved in some amateur theatrical productions when he was in the Army, and had written a few plays as a student at San Jose State College. With that minimal experience and a lot of ambition, he set out to build a theater department at the college – and a new theater. He had been at the college only two years when he came
up with an ambitious proposal for a 500-seat theater. It was met with initial resistance from the COS board of directors. “Why should we spend money on a hobby to keep girls entertained until they get married?” scoffed one board member. But Witherell persisted, and he and his allies on the faculty finally got the board’s approval for a $750,000 theater complex that would include classrooms, music practice rooms, and a music library. Before the theater was completed in 1969, plays had been staged in the college gym. The music department was housed in a janitorial building near the tennis courts. Witherell would direct plays there for nearly 30 years. Some of his most popular productions in the early years were musicals, including “Godspell” and “Fiddler On The Roof.” Witherell himself took a turn onstage in a production of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” playing an eccentric character who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt.4 continued on page 46

From the outset, Witherell took an inclusive, ensemble approach to his plays. His productions were based on teamwork, on every actor doing his or her part, not on a few “stars.” With this teamwork approach he was able to convince football players that they were performers, too, and to get them – with the help of longtime choreographer Nini Finnegan – to kick up their heels in the chorus lines of “Oklahoma” and other musicals. “He had a knack for nurturing creativity in young people,” says one of his early students, Madeleine Ayres, who went on to direct her own student plays as a teacher in the Scott Valley. The current COS theater director, Neil Carpentier-Alting, has followed in the Witherell tradition, taking an ensemble approach that encourages any student to try his or her hand at acting. Carpentier-Alting has also taken the theater department in some new directions, not only bringing in the latest Broadway productions (“Rent” and “Urinetown” among them) but also reaching back to the mid-18th century for a commedia dell’arte presentation of “The Servant of Two Masters.” Parallel with the development of live theater at the college was the growth of the music department, initially led by George Mattos and Kirby Shaw. In the early days, at a small college, the two instructors scrambled to find students to participate in their programs. “If we saw anyone walking down the hall humming, we’d put them in a practice room and see if they could sing a melody,” remembers

Shaw. Back in those days there was (and still is) a community choir, jazz band, and orchestra. In 1974 Shaw added a vocal jazz ensemble featuring singers and a horn and rhythm section. The ensemble not only performed at the college, but toured all over Northern California. With the COS Jazz Ensemble anchoring the event, the college in 1976 began hosting a Vocal Jazz Festival, drawing high school choirs from up and down the West Coast and featuring the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Carmen McRae as star solo performers. The college’s music department is currently in the hands of vocal instructor Ron Slabbinck and instrumental instructors David Blink and Chiharu Sai. In the mid-1990s, after receiving a generous grant from the Ford Family Foundation to replace the theater’s aging lighting control board, the theater was named in honor of the foundation’s founder, Kenneth W. Ford. • For more information on the live theater and music presentations celebrating the theater’s 50th anniversary in October, call the COS public relations office at (530) 938-5373.

Community TEN YEARS OF COMMUNITY RADIO WITH C A R L A N D L I N DA B OT T
IT’S A SAFE BET Carl Bott never imagined co-owning a radio station with the blond beauty who kept catching his eye as he scrolled through the photos on his phone from his night at The Golden Boot Awards in Los Angeles back in 2006. There he was with Ann-Margret, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, so many greats of Western movies. But his eyes kept going back to the photo he had with the director’s assistant, Linda Regan, who had ushered people on and off stage, including him when he opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. There had been a connection, he felt, but he’d returned to Fallujah, Iraq with the Marines the day after the ceremony, and she’d returned to Redding, where she had a career in corporate radio. “I never knew what her name was,” Carl says of the woman who would soon become his wife and is now known as Linda Bott. He sent
an email to the producer of the awards ceremony and asked him to send it on in an effort to establish email communication with her. That first email went to her spam account. The connection was eventually established, however, and Carl soon was calling in from Iraq to Linda’s radio program during holidays to update the community on active-duty life. When it came time for him to be discharged and return to the United States, Linda started with the hard sell on the merits of Redding, not the least of which that it is supportive of veterans. “People ask why I moved to Redding and the answer is simple,” Carl says with a laugh. “Linda was here.” Turns out he didn’t require the hard sell at all. By the 2007 Golden Boot Awards, they attended as an engaged couple. They married January 1, 2008.4 continued on page 50 OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Carl, now a retired lieutenant colonel, began enjoying a live, on-air rapport with Linda at her corporate radio station, and the couple was settling into domestic bliss in Redding. It didn’t take long for troubles to brew at Linda’s station, however. “The station sold to a new owner in New York,” says Carl. “On a Friday we were their favorites and on Monday they no longer needed us.” Rather than retreat, the couple simply decided to start their own media company. Free Fire Media was born December 12, 2009 with KCNR 1460AM. “It wasn’t a grudge,” says Linda. “It was more like, ‘You’re not going to interrupt our flow.’” Says Carl, “We believed the concept of community radio was alive, and you don’t find it in a lot of places. The whole premise when we started the station was that it would be a community station.” The heart of the station is the couple’s Monday-through-Friday program, Free Fire Radio, a live, open-line call in program they run from 7-9 am. “On our show we welcome everybody. We’ve had everyone from Moveon.org to the California State Militia, and everyone that runs between,” says Carl. “We try to do it like we’re having coffee and not get into big arguments. Everything is as civil as can be.” The first 10 years of Free Fire Media seem to have flown by for the couple and they’re preparing a big celebration on Oct. 3 from 5-8 pm to mark the success. “We wouldn’t be where we are without all of the people who have supported us,” says Carl. They will pre-empt regular programming during their anniversary celebration to have quick interviews with listeners, advertisers and community leaders. “A lot of them see what we do and want to be part of what we do,” says Linda. 50
www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2019
This year is about more than simply 10 years in business. In February, the station took on an FM frequency at 96.5FM. “We can reach more than 150,000 people on our FM station,” says Linda. “The reach is so much further.” Plans are also in the works for nationwide engagement. “We’re going to take Free Fire Radio across the country next year because it’s the elections,” she adds. Says Carl, “We’ll travel the northern route and then the southern route to see what America is thinking.” “We believe that Redding is in a growth cycle,” he adds. Free Fire Media is expanding as the community is deepening its engagement and the Botts are proud to amplify voices within this change. “We can help people talk about things that touch people, whether it’s medical or on the literary side.” “We don’t want to stop because it’s purposeful,” says Linda, noting that it’s been a surprise that both she and Carl have established roots anywhere. “Carl and I pretty much had international lives,” she says. “Here we are in Redding and loving it. We’d never had roots before, but we do now. This is home.” • Free Fire Media • 96.5 FM, 1460 AM 1326 Market St., Redding 10th Anniversary Celebration - October 3, 5-8 pm

S W E E T S A N D T R E AT S AT P U M P K I N L A N D C H O C O L AT E C O M PA N Y ON A WARM SUMMER DAY, a sign with a smiling pumpkin on it beckons people into the parking area of a quaint shop with a duck and lily pad-filled pond and buzzing dragonflies next to it. It’s peaceful and relaxing, despite it being right along Highway 99. Walking into the Pumpkinland Chocolate Company, elegant displays of delectable chocolates and nut brittles line the walls. The shop is warm and inviting, matching the tantalizing treats that it sells, and Jackie Gonzalez scoops ice cream for young and old customers alike in between wrapping up chocolate lollipops in the back. In the adjoining glass display cases, chocolate truffles sparkle like diamond rings do in a jewelry store.
Gonzalez says Pumpkinland’s most popular items are the chocolate turtles made in five different kinds – either peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, or pecans dipped in chocolate. However, her personal favorites are the snow almonds comprised of roasted almonds each dipped in milk chocolate, white chocolate, and covered in powdered sugar. “It’s like Christmas in a bite,” Gonzalez says. On its acre of property, Pumpkinland does more than just make chocolate. As the name implies, Pumpkinland started off as a pumpkin patch when Wayne and Jean Brown acquired the five-acre property in 1972. Although Wayne worked as a traveling salesman for a salt company at the time, he built a vegetable farm and told his kids4 continued on page 56

that they could manage it to make some pocket change. Along with selling pumpkins, the family created some Wizard of Oz-themed attractions to help establish it as a fun place for families to go. Wayne Brown Jr., the oldest son (now a cabinet maker in Redding) made a complete Munchkin village and even designed some of the candy equipment. Daughter Colleen Brown-Patten did all the artwork for Pumpkinland and even got offered a job at Disney. Mark Brown is a science and math teacher in Rocklin and the youngest son, Sean Brown, worked in the medical industry before moving back to Pumpkinland in 2007 and taking care of his parents. “I remember working with my grandfather as a little kid, weighing pumpkins and my grandpa was the cashier,” Sean says. In the 1970s and ‘80s, Pumpkinland was busy with all the lumber mills in town and they sold nuts, candy and flowers in the summer and had a
big circus tent behind the chocolate shop where they used to put on plays. The Browns even hosted Christmas tree farms in December. However, growing pumpkins was a lot of work, so the Browns moved into growing and selling asparagus and then chocolate, which was a lot more manageable. In the late ‘80s when their candy maker passed away, Wayne learned how to make the chocolate. In 2007, when Sean moved back, he renovated the chocolate shop, put in a nice patio, started offering ice cream in the summer and continues to make all the candy. “We’re the epitome of small business; we just try to make quality candy the best we can,” Sean says. And although the cost of ingredients is rapidly rising, Sean is committed to keeping Pumpkinland a fun, affordable place for families to go. Pumpkinland also continues to grow and sell vegetables in the fall, including melons, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, persimmons, and pomegranates for 89 cents a pound. 4 continued on page 58

On this midsummer Friday, families continue to filter in and out, telling Gonzalez stories of how they found Pumpkinland through word-of-mouth and how far they drove to get ice cream. Pumpkinland charges $1.50 for up to three hearty scoops of ice cream, making it the best deal in the North State. An older couple came in and went straight to the brittle section, picking out their treats and paying for it at the counter, acting like they had been there many times before. One young boy at the counter was having a hard time handling a three-scoop cone on his own and Gonzalez quickly gave him a cup. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to eat all of this,” the 10-year-old unabashedly admits.

creative resource M I C H E L L E H I C K O K ’ S Z E L M A’ S AWA R D S I N R E D B L U F F WHEN MICHELLE HICKOK went searching the vast archives of her photo collection recently, she was stunned to come across an image of herself from March 8, 2011. A recent Chico State grad, she is seen putting vinyl lettering on a new door sign for Zelma’s Awards as an employee of the nearby Copy Center in downtown Red Bluff. The photo took Hickok aback for two reasons: She now owns Zelma’s and March 8 is also the day her daughter was born this year.
She’s shared the photo with Patty Lingenfelter, who sold Zelma’s to her and continues to support and mentor her through business ownership. “I’ve known her since I worked at the Copy Center, which was pretty much right out of high school in 2005,” says Hickok. “She’s an adoptive grandmother to our daughter. It’s definitely more a familial connection than a strict business transaction.”4 continued on page 64
… she delights in “elevating the look of it from being a conventional award to something that’s really, truly special.” She wants to be seen as a local creative resource, “if you have a wild and crazy idea you want to see come to life.” OCTOBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Lingenfelter thought of Hickok immediately when she and her husband Jim decided to sell their business and retire. Hickok, however, had just taken a job in marketing at Rolling Hills Casino and was ready to dive into the experience with gusto. It was three years before she gave the opportunity serious consideration. She celebrates a year of ownership at Zelma’s this month. “The way this has all come together, it definitely feels there was some higher universal power involved,” says Hickok, clearly still in awe of the unexpected turns her life has taken. Not long after deciding she was ready to transition from the casino, her husband Casey went into Zelma’s to order a plaque for the Red Bluff Fire Department, where he’s a full-time fireman. Lingenfelter confided to him that she’d approached Michelle a few years earlier about purchasing the business. He, too, thought it was a great idea.
“I do have to credit Casey with getting that fire started to work toward that transition,” she says with a laugh. Hickok began using vacation days to study under Lingenfelter, and closed the deal on the business in October 2018. A week and a half after leaving the casino in September 2018, she and Casey discovered she was pregnant. “We had been living life at a million miles an hour,” says Hickok. The new business allowed her to end a commute to Corning as well as bring their baby to work. “It’s really cool and incredibly rewarding to be a business owner now,” she says. She describes Zelma’s as a creative shop as much as a place for awards and engraving. With her graphic arts background, she says she delights in “elevating the look of it from being a conventional award to something that’s really, truly special.” She wants to be seen as a local creative resource, “if you have a wild and crazy idea you want to see come to life.” Lingenfelter hasn’t been the only one to see something special in Michelle. While in college, the Tehama County Cattlewomen came calling with an offer for her to be a beef ambassador, “even though I’d never raised cattle before,” she says. “I’d raised everything but cattle.” They knew she’d be a quick study and that her enthusiasm and commitment would make her a stellar brand ambassador, though, and Michelle gave it her all. 4 continued on page 66

“That was such a cool year,” she says. “I went on trips with the national team at least once a month. I went to all corners of the country. It definitely opened my eyes to what was out there. It also made me grateful for where I come from.” Ten years ago, the Cattlewomen came calling again for a new event they were inaugurating, the Red Bluff Beef ‘N Brew. Michelle designed the logo for it and just recently did a brand refresh for the now iconic downtown event. “It’s a case study of a rebrand of a beloved brand in our hometown. It’s much more mature now. It looks really good. And it’s a reflection of how I’ve grown and changed in 10 years,” she says. Michelle’s passion for her hometown runs high and she’s been actively giving back for years, serving as a youth soccer coach, as a member of the State Theatre’s technical team and on the leadership team of Expect More Tehama. She’s a living example of the mission of Expect More Tehama to provide opportunities for higher education to local youth and then opportunities for employment and engagement in the community upon graduation. While Michelle has engaged with many of her business neighbors for years as a graphic designer for their various projects, she’s delighted to line up next to them in a brick and mortar building now as a shop owner herself. “Most of the businessowners are women, which is cool and empowering,” she says. “We bring all of this collective talent together.”

THINK PINK Breast Awareness and WEAR RED Stay Drug Free
Initially, the aim of this event was to increase the early detection of breast cancer by encouraging women to have mammograms. Early detection means that cancer can be more effectively treated and prevented from spreading to other areas of the body. While the facts can be frightening, there are reasons for optimism as well. When breast cancer is diagnosed early and treated, survival rates can be near 100%. This is why regular screenings and quality treatment are critical to millions of women who will be diagnosed in their lifetimes. CAUSES & RISK FACTORS: Age, genetic risk factors, family history, personal history, race, menstrual periods, using birth control, post-menopausal hormone therapy, obesity, alcohol, and lack of exercise are just a few. Breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms are all excellent screenings to preform and can improve your chances for early detection of breast cancer. Currently, the chance of a women having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is a little less than one in eight. Life style changes that can help with prevention like, limiting alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, not using hormone therapy, and breast feeding for a few months might possibly reduce your risk as well.
On October 17th, 2019 Greenville Rancheria will be offering referrals for mammograms. Please stop by between the hours of 10:00 AM & 2:00 PM at our clinic located at 1425 Montgomery Road, Red Bluff for a THINK PINK token (while supplies last). With awareness, more affordable screening, better quality of care, and new research and development, we can help save millions of women’s lives. Red Ribbon Week October 23–31, is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign. The nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program. Millions of people around the nation will be taking a visible stand against drugs and alcohol by wearing and displaying red ribbons and participating in drug prevention activities.

The ribbon soon became a national symbol demonstrating commitment to a drug-free lifestyle. This year’s theme is “Send a Message.

CHURN CREEK MEADOW O R GA N I C FA R M
THE NORTH STATE welcomes fall as the air becomes crisp and leaves change to brilliant oranges, reds and yellows. The fall harvest is under way with delicious produce, including pumpkins, artichokes, beets, eggplant, winter squash and turnips. Churn Creek Meadow Organic Farm in Churn Creek Bottom grows produce that is 100 percent certified organic. Its mission is to help families eat healthy, chemical free fruits and vegetables, as well as antibioticfree eggs and beef. The farm is a member of the Shasta Growers Association and supports Healthy Shasta. Mary Ocasion’s passion for gardening led her to the farm. The produce from a 30x100foot garden was too much for her family, so she gave items to friends and neighbors. A
visit to Marketfest in 2003 led Ocasion to her project. After asking questions and visiting the market several times, Ocasion began her journey into organic farming. The planning took about 10 months and then in 2004 it came together. The following year the farm was certified organic. “We enjoy growing food and selling it directly to customers who enjoy fresh organic produce,” Ocasion says. “We use about 4.5 acres of our 5.5 acres in Churn Creek Bottom for our farm. We have two part-time employees who help us. We do a lot of hand weeding and other manual work.” Churn Creek Organic Farms sells produce at the Saturdays Farmers Market in Redding, which is operated by Shasta Growers4 continued on page 70

Association and runs through Dec. 14 from 7:30 am to noon. Another way to access to healthy, organic food is the Community Supported Agriculture program, which allows customers direct access to high-quality produce by purchasing a “share” of produce. The farm delivers a box to your home or office regularly throughout the season. Churn Creek Organic Farms’ boxes can be delivered year-round. “We deliver to people at their homes and offices within 15 miles of Redding,” Ocasion explains. “Customers go to the website, ccmof.com, to review the list of produce for each box. They choose which box they would like and the frequency of deliveries – weekly, every other week, monthly or will call.” The order then is scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday delivery. Some customers pick up their own boxes if they are outside the delivery area. Approximately 150 customers keep Ocasion busy. “Need inspiration to prepare local seasonal produce? You’ve got it with Churn Creek Organic Farms,” says customer Denise Ohm. “Mary’s recipes and Albert’s to-the-door service will fill the bill.”
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. ~Hippocrates

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2019
Boxes can be custom ordered for those who have special diets, food allergies or their own garden. “I am very busy responding to emails and updating packing lists for a few days each week, but this allows people to get what they want in their box and they tend to continue with the Community Supported Agriculture program as satisfied customers,” says Ocasion. Included in the boxes is a printed newsletter with nutrition information and recipes for using some of the produce. “Just got our first box delivered. Love it. Made the best salad right out of the box,” says customer Lisa Holt. “Everything tastes amazing and it’s super easy – leave a check, come home and there’s your box. I can’t wait for my box next week.” Ocasion adds, “Each year is different, regarding growing organic produce. We enjoy the challenges that farming brings and hearing from our happy customers!” As the weather cools and the leaves fall, the call for a nice hearty soup beckons with the fresh organic produce found at Churn Creek Meadow Organic Farm. • Churn Creek Meadow Organic Farm (530) 949-9508 • www.ccmof.com

an Apple a Day M A N TO N A P P L E F E S T I VA L THERE’S A LOT to take in at the Manton Apple Festival, which will be held Oct. 5 at the Manton School grounds. Music all day long. Arts and crafts booths. Children’s activities. And of course, apple pie. There’s one thing that won’t be there though, and it won’t be for lack of trying. “There won’t be a cookbook,” laughs Kay Zimmerman, one of about 10 organizers of the event. “Some of these people are really territorial about their pies.” The organizing committee once thought to create a recipe book for the event, but were quickly shut down due to lack of entries. Indeed, the apple pie contest is a highlight of the event, with a panel of celebrity judges and a bevy of die-hard bakers competing for top honors. “They can do what they want,” adds Zimmerman, meaning the winner may have a crumble top, a lattice crust, embellishments such as caramel or secret spices. A recent past winner stood three inches
high and was drenched in caramel. Other winners have been more traditional. It’s all up to the judges, who accept their roles knowing the value placed on their decisions. The festival, which turns 28 this year, began with a few purposes. At the time, there were many small apple orchards in the area and the owners needed a market. “This was started as a way to help them sell,” says Zimmerman. While the number of area apple growers has dwindled over the years, the event remains a vital time of gathering for the community. “The emphasis is now on scholarships,” she adds. “Most all of the money goes to student scholarships. We’re in excess of $50,000 of scholarships at this point.” Parking and entrance to the event are free, so those scholarships are generated by sales of pie slices, all baked by volunteers who have gone out to local trees to pick the apples. “There are still some orchards around,” says 4 continued on page 74

The apple pie baking contest is open to all, with the winner taking home a $100.00 prize. There is also a junior, (12 and under), contest division.
A panel of celebrity judges rate the contest entries based on appearance, filling, and crust.
Zimmerman, noting that volunteers may also go to a single backyard tree in the community. “We do whatever we have to do to get them.” Preparations for pies begin the week before the event, and the Friday before, a team of 12 to 14 volunteers gathers to bake. “Friday there’s just rows and rows of pies sitting at the Grange Hall,” says Zimmerman. Anywhere from 200 to 250 pies are baked for the event, and guests are encouraged to not wait until too late in the day on Saturday to come out for a slice. They are popular and sell out every year. The event has always been held at the field of Manton School, which was closed recently, forcing area children to travel to surrounding communities for their educations. The school is centrally located and easy to find on Forward Road, and the community hopes it will remain a venue for the festival for years to come. Also popular are the 100 local craft booths which feature only handcrafted items. “There are no commercial booths allowed,” says Zimmerman. “Because it’s in October and it’s strictly handmade, a lot of people like to come up and do a little Christmas shopping.” Crafters come in from Tehama and Shasta counties but also as far as Chico and McCloud. “A lot of people enjoy the music,” she adds. “We’ll have groups throughout the day. It’s usually more countrydriven.” This year’s lineup includes Patti and Jade, Mountain Messengers, North State Fiddlers, Loosely Strung and Shooting Stars. Regardless of the main impetus to attend, it’s a sure thing that the combination of apple pie, live music and arts and crafts makes a delightful way to spend a fall day in this quaint mountain town of 700. The fact that proceeds support local scholars only sweetens the pie. • Manton Apple Festival Saturday, October 5 • 9 am - 4 pm Manton School • 31345 Forward Road

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
ensuring you’re insured N AV I G AT I N G T H E M E D I C A R E M A Z E
NOT LONG AFTER Judi Lynch began speaking, her words grabbed 2006, and Medicare enrolled me in a Part D prescription drug plan me by the throat. It started out safely enough. Lynch was an educator automatically. I even remembered I had changed Part D plans some from Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), years back, which must have been during the annual enrollment come to my low-income senior home’s community room to educate us period from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, the only time of the year you can on the ins and outs of Medicare. It began as a fairly interesting talk, change such plans. Though there are other enrollment periods. Lots of them, I came to then she spoke about the penalties: “If you don’t sign up for Medicare Part D when you could have, you learn. And lots of requirements, and other penalties, lacing the law will face a penalty of 1 percent of your Part D premium per month for that governs Medicare Parts A, B, C and D. Oh, and you can purchase supplemental insurance to cover the 20 percent that Part B does NOT every year that you did not enroll.” My mind reeled. Did I enroll? I didn’t remember enrolling in pay toward approved medical expenses. Or you might pay less if your anything. I raised my hand. That’s a 12 percent per year penalty for income is low enough to make you a Qualified Medicare Beneficiary, eligible for payment assistance. how many years? She answered that the It’s even more complicated than that. Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 went “If you don’t sign up for You might want a guide. into effect on January 1, 2006, which, I “We help navigate the maze of Medicare,” calculated, would be... 13 YEARS?

Lynch serves as assistant program manager in the Redding HICAP office. Her supervisor, Program Manager Pamela Smith-Jimison, heads the office and oversees HICAP operations in Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou, Modoc and Lassen counties, a service area designated and managed by the California Department of Aging in Sacramento. The first person you meet at the office, however, is receptionist Marie Grano, who tells you she is a real clown. “I’m Butterfly the Clown and this is my husband, Wheels the Clown, because of his wheelchair,” says Grano, offering a photograph of her spouse and herself in full clown regalia. She doesn’t wear that uniform at work, but she does exercise that sunny personality. “I can calm people who are panicking on the phone,” she says. “If I can make them snicker, I go, yes! I scored another one.” Grano identifies her chief role as screener, referring calls and walk-ins seeking help with Social Security or Medi-Cal to another office. Only those with Medicare issues or questions get appointments. Frequently she is asked how much HICAP services cost. As provided for in California statue, all services here are free. On top of her duties supervising five counties, Smith-Jimison regularly counsels beneficiaries herself. Today, she advises a married couple who both just lost medical coverage when he retired from his job, triggering a Special Enrollment Period. Since both of them already had Medicare Part A, inpatient hospitalization coverage, and Part B, outpatient Medical expenses covered by Medicare, and since this five-service area doesn’t offer Part C (other California service areas might), this session focuses mainly on Part D, becoming a search for a prescription drug plan. After guiding the beneficiaries through all the above, and after explaining Medicare deductibles and shares of cost, Smith-Jimison logs on to the www.medicare.gov web site and begins entering prescriptions drugs for each beneficiary. “There are currently 30 Medicareapproved Part D plans in California,” she tells them. “The medications determine what plan is best for you.” Once all meds are entered, the website returns a list of plans that cover most – if not all – of the medications they take. SmithJimison asks them to make a couple of choices.
78
www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2019
She can print out a list of plans for them to take home and evaluate, or they can make their choice now and she can enroll them. At no time does she recommend one plan over another. As with advising on supplemental plans, which are provided by private insurance companies, no HICAP counselor can determine which company is best for anyone. “It’s important we remain 100 percent neutral,” she stresses. “We don’t sell anything. We just explain your choices.” On top of supervising the service area and counseling beneficiaries, Smith-Jamison, with Lynch, manages appeals for beneficiaries who want to contest a Medicare determination. And on top of that, she trains and supervises volunteers who work out of this office and others throughout the service area. All three of the women described above started out as volunteers. Lynch is the educator, who goes out into the community and tells people about HICAP, delighting her audiences with stories about how counselors taught beneficiaries how to obtain required coverage at lower cost, and terrifying them with tales of late Medicare enrollment fees, which inflate monthly premiums for life. That’s how I learned about HICAP. And while visiting Lynch in her office days later, that’s when I signed up to join the team of volunteers in the Redding office. Then came training where I learned, among a lot of other things, that in some cases you can save a lot of money by spending a little money. Call or come on down to the office and make an appointment. They’ll tell you all about it. No charge. • HICAP Planning and Service Area 2 Agency on Aging 1647 Hartnell Ave., Suite 8, Redding (530) 223-0999 Monday-Friday 9 am-5 pm Closed Saturday and Sunday

Veteran Returning
After high school, I traveled, went to school, and worked various jobs until I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force.
What started out as a 6-year commitment became a 20-year career, with several assignments in the U.S. and overseas. After retiring, I decided to pursue a career in medical coding and completed an A.S. Degree in Health Information Technology. Now, having earned a B.S. Degree in Health Information Management (HIM) from Shasta College, I am pursuing a position as a Chief Privacy Officer. My husband was the one who steered me toward Shasta College’s new HIM Program, which is much more affordable compared to a traditional 4-year university. Given my military background, my career goals, and my level of education, the online HIM program at Shasta College aligned beautifully with my needs. Professor Dowgiert is an exceptional instructor. He showed patience in communicating with me at all hours of the day or night to answer questions and to ensure that I understood my assignments. At times, he provided me with confidence to successfully complete the more challenging courses and opened my eyes to different career options in HIM. I found the courses on Risk Management and Privacy and Security particularly insightful. The knowledge I gained from those two courses helped me determine my future focus in HIM. Now I tell everyone, especially the young Airmen in my section, about the HIT and HIM degrees at Shasta College. I believe these degrees form a complete program that would help anyone in their successful pursuit of a career in health information management. Tracey Shasta College Knight

EASY MIDDLE EASTERN SHAKSHUKA SERVES 4
Shakshuka, which originated in North Africa and is very popular throughout the Middle East, especially Israel, is delicious, quick and so easy. It has always intrigued me and once I tried it at a restaurant, I knew I had to create it at home. This dish works for breakfast or a main meal at brunch, lunch or dinner. The simmering tomato sauce, full of amazing flavor, is used to poach the eggs in the dish. Enjoy INGREDIENTS: 2 T olive oil 1⁄2 yellow onion, diced small 4 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 each red and yellow bell pepper, both seeded and diced 1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes (I use with green chiles) 2 1⁄ tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. cumin 1 tsp. paprika 4 eggs 2 T combined of any of the following: minced parsley, chives, basil, cilantro Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet. (Cast iron skillet not recommended.) Once the oil is shimmering, add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until lightly browned, about 5-9 minutes. Add spices, stir in and cook an additional minute. STEP 2: Add in the can of tomatoes with juice. Season with salt and pepper and allow the sauce to come to at a simmer, over a low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
STEP 3: Using a large spoon, make 4 small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each of the wells. Cover the pan and cook for 4-10 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. STEP 4: Remove from heat and top with chopped cilantro and parsley. Additional topping options include crumbled goat cheese, avocado slices and artichoke hearts. Serve with pita bread or a nice crusty bread.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN REDDING? Exciting changes are taking place in the heart of Redding. New buildings are being constructed while old ones are being retrofitted, renovated and remodeled. Plans for more convenient roadways and streets are in the making, and (as most know) the parking garage in Downtown Redding will be coming down. Despite the upcoming transitions and transformations, businesses plan to keep their doors open through it all. Once all the dust settles, and the projects are finished, downtown will be home to shiny new superstructures used for housing, restaurants, retail, office space and a compact parking garage. The transformation will leave Downtown Redding as an attractive hub for locals and those passing through. You can head to the City of Redding’s new website for in depth information— www.cityofredding.org/downtown. The website provides links for the Downtown Parking Strategy; California Street Parking Structure information; parking maps (interactive link and a pdf ); Downtown project updates and alternative modes of transportation options. Check it out and visit downtown during the construction.

Community College Transfer Program There are several reasons that high school seniors choose to enroll in a community college upon earning their high school diploma. It may be that the student doesn’t have a clear career choice and therefore doesn’t know what type of degree would be most appropriate. Some students may choose a community college to defray the cost of a college education. In light of the fact that community colleges are offering free tuition for up to two years, this may be a prudent choice. Student athletes sometimes
attend community colleges because they enjoy athletics but their skill level wouldn’t afford them the opportunity to compete at a university. Of course, some high school seniors are focused on earning industry certificates, and community colleges offer many. Finally, many students enroll in community college with full intentions of transferring to a California State University, University of California or independent university campus. For this reason, we are providing the table below.
w California Community College Transfer Programs
Transfer programs offer varying guarantees when transferring from a community college to a university with a junior status.

TAKE A STAND VIOLENCE PREVENTION EFFORTS WITH EMPOWER TEHAMA
RED BLUFF IS taking a stand against violence, and leading the way is a community-based nonprofit whose mission isn’t just to break the cycle of violence, but to also promote healthy relationships and lasting change in the community. Formerly known as Alternatives to Violence, Empower Tehama has become a local leader when working to provide the public with education and services on the dangers of violence, assault and abuse. To expand preventative efforts, the organization offers tools and knowledge that contribute to the betterment and safety of the community. Such services include prevention and education, domestic violence response services, children’s services, perspective intervention program and a sexual assault and trafficking program. These efforts not only strengthen the community and ensure a safer environment, but they also help grow awareness. For example, by knowing what warning signs to look for in victims of domestic violence, abuse and assault, the public can spread awareness to others and be more alert to those around them who might need help. The nonprofit’s website provides resources that can aid individuals seeking help from unhealthy relationships, or situations.
Empower Tehama also offers intervention and responsive services to encourage people who might be struggling to take steps toward lasting personal transformation. In addition, the organization hosts events and fundraisers that engage the community, draw in support and help raise awareness. Empower Tehama will start off Domestic Violence Awareness Month with the 7th Annual Candlelight Walk on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Then on Oct. 12, the nonprofit will host a triviainspired fundraiser, Trivia Night 2019. Tickets are available on the website. • www.empowertehama.org 24-hour crisis hotline: (530) 528-0226 or toll-free at (800) 324-6473 Business center: 1805 Walnut St., Red Bluff

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:
ORTHOPEDIC RADIATION DAMAGE
LICHEN SCLEROSIS
PULMONARY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
