Luckily, patients get both an expert surgeon and the ideal location with Dr. Brad Jones, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon who specializes in Minimally Invasive Robotic Spine Surgery. Dr. Jones completed his fellowship at the renowned Los Angeles Spine Surgery Institute, is a design surgeon for innovative new spine procedures, and teaches other surgeons how to apply the latest technology.

editor’s note november 2019 IT’S THE SEASON OF GRATITUDE, where we gather our loved ones near, hit the “pause” button on our hectic lives and reflect on what truly makes our lives worthwhile. Acts of kindness aren’t always grand gestures or huge sacrifices. Toss a pebble into a pond and you’ll see that the impact extends much further than the tiny splash – that’s exactly how kind deeds work, and we’ve got some ideas for tossing your own pebble into the pond of humanity to make our world a little brighter. Some opt to pour kindness into the world through their art. Creative force Colleen Barry has done exactly that through her public pieces, and you’ll be touched by the story of her most recent creation – the 14,500-pound EarthStone, which reflects love of a person, community, nature and art. Investing in youth is the ultimate act of kindness, and Catalyst Mentoring is all in. The nonprofit recruits and trains mentors, then places them in schools to serve as models for respect and support for at-risk children. They’ve trained some 350 mentors, and their influence ripples through the community. “Anyone who has the desire and an hour a week can become a mentor,” one organizer says. “That’s all it takes. It will change someone’s life. It’ll change your life, as well.” Kindness reminds us of our place in this world, and we have the power to shift the trajectory of someone’s day. Reach out to a lonely friend. Invite an elderly neighbor to your holiday gathering. Extend an encouraging word to a frazzled mom in the grocery store. Together, we make our world more beautiful, one pebble at a time. Celebrate kindness, and watch how the joy you put into the world comes back to you tenfold. Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy!

my town

MICHAEL MOYNAHAN, REDDING SHASTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY BOARD OF TRUSTEES–CHAIR

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: FULL OF HISTORY I arrived in Redding from Eugene, Ore. in 1962 with my father, who was applying for a manager’s position at Lou Gerard Ford. After his successful interview with Lou Gerard Jr., we celebrated by going to the Cascade Theatre to see “The Man who Shot Liberty Valance,” then had a great steak at Jack’s Grill with piano music next to our table. Little did I know then that my infatuation with downtown Redding, the beautiful surrounding mountains, Shasta Lake and the magnificent Sacramento River flowing through town would only seem like the attractions that captured my anticipation about moving to my new home. I hadn’t really grasped yet that my fascination with the history of Redding and Shasta County was not only instilled in that trip with my father in 1962, but would be the entry-level channel for my overwhelming love of this wonderful community. I attended Enterprise High School and was immediately enchanted with my new school. I was particularly intrigued by my U.S. History class with Don Moore and later my American Problems class with Rod Ash. A presentation by guest speaker Judge Richard B. Eaton was not only fascinating, but his augmentation to local history inspired my family and me to venture out and visit, research and discuss many historically prominent places: Shasta Dam, Old Shasta, French Gulch, Pierson B. Reading’s homestead, the Tower House, Horsetown, the Diestelhorst Bridge, Pioneer Baby’s Grave, Fort Crook, the Dersch homestead, numerous cemeteries and many other infamous spots that garnered our attention. I gained my bachelor’s degree from Chico State University in history and was hired to teach American Problems at Enterprise High School, where I taught for 32 years. Sixteen years after moving to Redding, I bought my first and only home, which was built in 1936. The fact that the Cascade Theatre was built in 1934, Jack’s Grill in 1935 and my home, built a year later, seemed to postulate the fact that my future in the area was hanging in the balance. My love and respect for the people, culture and history of the area permeates through the incredible vitality and zest of our community and has continued to add to the present culture in a provocative and eminent manner. It is only enhanced by devastating events like the Carr Fire. History is a ubiquitous term that allows us to realize that yesterday has created our today. It’s certainly a requiem of circumstances that flashes before me, especially now, when I remember back when I read the names at the Enterprise High School graduations for many years, when one student shouted out at the conclusion of the ceremony,“Mr. Moynahan, you’re history.”By the way, I have always taken that as a compliment.

ACTS OF KINDNESS

BY KIMBERLY N. BONEY

t2he

r2ipple e2ffect

THE POWER OF KINDNESS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD WHEN A SMALL LEAF, drop of water or pebble hits a body of water, it casts an outward ripple that continues until it’s out of view, making an impact on something much larger than itself. Such is the case, also, with a kind deed. It doesn’t take much to make an impression, but kindness transcends past that moment, and into the hearts of those who bear witness to it. It’s the reason why one person making a decision to treat the person in the car behind them to their order in a drive through creates a chain reaction – and why the recipients of such a kind deed make a point of mentioning what a joyful experience it was. It’s why people make anonymous donations to kids’ overdrawn lunch accounts, and why it warms our hearts to witness a stranger stop to help someone they don’t know at a crucial moment. Kindness begets kindness. Kindness changes energy and it changes people. It’s a blessing to be on both the giving and receiving end of kindness – and it’s a blessing to watch it unfold.4 continued on page 22

NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Have you ever had a tough day and, seemingly out of nowhere, one simple gesture from another human being magically lightens your emotional load? In that instant, you might have gone from feeling like no one in the world even knew you were there to being seen and cared for – even if for just a moment. Chances are you couldn’t stay sad or frustrated after that. That shift in energy came as a result of kindness. There is power in that acknowledgement – in a person knowing that they are not alone in the world. It may even be the catalyst in that person becoming a blessing for someone else. Kindness is often thought of as random altruism. But what would the world be like if we all made a concerted effort to be kind to our fellow human beings? Could we change the tone of things in our own home, our neighborhood, our city, our state or our country? Could we change the world at large? Could we, at the very least, change ourselves? Our kind deed may not alter the state of the world, but it can alter the world in a positive way for the person on the receiving end of the kindness. Whenever possible, do something kind for someone who may never know the source of the deed – or someone that may never be able to repay you. Don’t record it for the purpose of sharing it on social media. Don’t tell your friends. Move in silence when exacting your kindness on the world. It’s not about the kudos that come from doing a good deed; it’s about releasing kindness into the world and hoping it spreads like wildfire. It’s been said that something becomes a habit after 66 days. So, here is a challenge. Pick from this list of 22 acts of kindness and commit to sharing one each day with someone who needs it. Repeat this practice three times over, until it has become second nature to you. Now, watch how the world around you changes for the better. 4 continued on page 24

1. When cooking a meal, double your yield and share the second half with someone who doesn’t have enough food to eat. 2. Lend a helping hand to someone who is struggling to carry a heavy load – even if it means simply holding the door. 3. Donate your old books to a school, a senior center or a Little Free Library. Leave a note of encouragement inside for the next reader. 4. Pick flowers, fresh fruit or vegetables from your garden and give them to someone who needs a pickme-up. 5. Find a GoFundMe account for a person you don’t know directly with a story that resonates with you. Make an anonymous donation. Tell absolutely no one. 6. Treat the person behind you in line at the grocery store to something (or everything) in their cart. Ask them to pay it forward to someone else when they can. 7. Mow your neighbor’s lawn and pull their garbage cans in. 8. If you find a lost pet, stop and make a call to his or her owner. Someone misses that four-legged family member dearly. 9. Be a listening ear for someone who needs it – even a stranger. It’s often easier to talk to a stranger about something painful than it is to talk to a loved one. 10. Bring a blanket, a coat and a hot cup of coffee to someone who lives on the street. 11. Create some care kits filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, lotion, feminine products and a hairbrush. Give them away to those who need them. 12. Always ask someone their name – and share yours with them. There is comfort in having someone acknowledge you in a personal way. Do this with cashiers, people on the other end of a service call, people who live on the street and everyone in between. 13. Provide an act of service for someone else. If you are handy with a nail and hammer, help reinforce a broken fence. If you are passionate about books, read to a classroom once a week.

14. Purchase a complete meal for a family in need during Thanksgiving. Repeat the process as many times as you can afford to. 15. Offer to babysit for a couple who needs a night out. 16. If you see a parent struggling through a difficult moment with a child, offer them a genuine, knowing glance of acknowledgement or a word of encouragement. For a parent at their wit’s end, it may be just the boost they need to keep going. 17. Volunteer with a local group to help clean up a park, cemetery or another area that needs some TLC. 18. Instead of donating your used clothing to a thrift store, seek out a specific person (or people) that need them. Make sure they are cleaned, ironed and folded. Include a handwritten note of encouragement. 19. Gather a team of friends to help clean up the yard or home of someone who needs a helping hand – with their permission, of course. Whether it’s an elderly neighbor or a family in crisis, the gift of a clean and orderly space will be world-shifting. 20. Send a care package to a child (or several) in foster care. Teenagers are the least likely age demographic to be the recipient of a gift from charitable drives. Consider starting there and working your way down in age. 21. Teach a skill you have mastered to someone else. There is nothing more kind than sharing your passion with someone. You’ll simultaneously create two legacies. 22. Step in as a “family member” for someone who needs it. If you can be a parental figure, a bonus grandparent, an extra son or daughter, or a brother or sister from another mister for someone else, that’s the kind of love that has the power to change someone’s circumstances and their heart. No legality needed – just love. •

details E A R T H S T O N E AT MCCONNELL ARBORETUM & B O TA N I C A L G A R D E N S EARTHSTONE IS LARGE, earthy and nicely quirky. Eight feet tall and weighing 14,500 pounds, the abstract sculpture within the gardens of Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding is covered with hundreds of animal/ botanical-themed ceramic tiles and concrete castings. Like the sculpture, the story of EarthStone also has lots of pieces. It reflects love of a person, community, nature and art. The creator is Colleen Barry, whose whimsical, colorful mosaic pieces are well known in Redding. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the imaginative force behind Mosaic Oasis, Slow Turtle Crossing and Frog Island at Turtle Bay, as well as Mosaic Sanctuary at Redding City Hall Sculpture Park. Barry has a master of fine arts degree in visual art. Her work has been exhibited in numerous museums, galleries and private collections. The instigator of EarthStone is Lawrence Dillon, a San Francisco documentary filmmaker/producer who grew up in Redding, graduated from Shasta High School and Shasta College, and once worked for North State public television station KIXE. 4 continued on page 28 NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The inspiration for the sculpture is the late Don Oestreicher, the former director of Citizens Utilities Company of California and a 34year resident of Redding. The engineer/businessman died of complications from Parkinson’s disease in October 2008. He had wide-ranging interests – sailing, architecture, literature and classical music – and was a founder of the Performing Arts Society in Redding. And here’s how the pieces fit together … Dillon and Oestreicher were longtime partners. They met at a Performing Arts Society concert and were together 18 years. Dillon wanted to honor Oestreicher with a memorial that also would be a gift to the community. The idea of a sculpture reflecting Oestreicher’s love of the arts was sparked during a visit to Turtle Bay when Dillon came across Barry’s Mosaic Oasis sculpture. Wowed by it, he contacted Barry to pitch the idea of a creating a sculpture. “I wanted to show the kind of art Don liked,” Dillon says. “Something uplifting for the mind and spirit.” Barry was impressed by the plan, noting it’s unusual for an individual to commission public art. She signed on for the project. Barry and Dillon’s working relationship quickly became a strong friendship. “Working with Colleen has been one of the best adventures of my life,” Dillon says. “I could tell he wanted something imaginative and interactive,” she says. Barry envisioned a piece that would evoke one feeling from a distance and different reactions and interactions up close. She pictured a fossilized slab of tactile pieces representing nature – a primordial rock teeming with life. Dillon wasn’t quite sure what to think when he saw the concept sketch. “It was this weird thing.” 4 continued on page 30 28

But he grew to love it. “It did represent a mystery, and if you knew Don, that was at his core. It was more about the questions of life than knowing the answers,” Dillon says. “As I saw this project develop, it was really in tune with what he would have loved.” Turtle Bay was eager to have the sculpture become part of its McConnell Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Barry’s earlier mosaic sculptures were already hits at Turtle Bay. “We jumped at the chance,” says Turtle Bay CEO Mike Warren, who adds that public art “brings a personality to the community.” Barry spent a year making the birds, frogs, turtles, leaves, fossils and shells and other pieces for EarthStone. The ceramic animals were handcrafted from clay. The botanical pieces are concrete castings made from molds Barry created. The sculpture originally leaned more to botany, but Barry says, “I got bored making leaves. Now the leaves are the background for these local animals.” EarthStone’s concrete substructure was fabricated at Universal Precast Concrete in Redding using a model Barry crafted. She arranged and adhered the pieces to the form at a Redding warehouse. “It’s like a puzzle. It’s really tricky,” she says. EarthStone was completed in June 2014, with the dedication held a year later to give the surrounding plants time to grow. The project was funded by Dillon and the Donald L. Oestreicher Trust with support from Turtle Bay and a Shasta Regional Community Foundation grant.

November is National Diabetes Month.

There is no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed. Balancing the food you eat with exercise and medicine (if prescribed) will help you control your weight and can keep your blood glucose in the healthy range. This can help prevent or delay complications. Many people with diabetes can, and do, live long and healthful lives. Your diabetes care team can help, but day to day diabetes care is up to you. Your healthcare team may include a doctor, nurse, registered dietitian, pharmacist, diabetes educator and any other health care provider working to help you care for your diabetes. Day to day care includes: • Choosing what, how much and when to eat • Getting active • Checking blood glucose (if recommended) • Taking medicine (if prescribed) • Quitting smoking • Working with your healthcare team • Educating yourself on diabetes These are several basic tests that can help you and your healthcare team

“I hope it will stop people,” he says. “Give them a moment that takes them out of their day-to-day thought process.” “I really like EarthStone,” Turtle Bay horticulture manager Lisa Endicott says. “It is unusual and subtle. There’s always something new to find.” “There’s whimsy, but there’s also an ethereal nature to it,” says Miki’ala Catalfano, Turtle Bay creative services officer. EarthStone draws on curiosity. While it reflects nature, there’s no single, simple, unequivocal message to it. Dillon says EarthStone isn’t so much about, “What does it say?” as, “How does it make you feel?” “I hope it will stop people,” he says. “Give them a moment that takes them out of their day-to-day thought process.” • Find EarthStone along Willow Pond Trail in the McConnell Arboretum & Botanical Gardens at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding. www.turtlebay.org

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:

Y R E K A’ S S I S K I YO U C O U N T Y M U S E U M E X H I B I T — AV I AT I O N H I S TO R Y ROBERT TRIMBLE was one of the key players in the history of aviation in Siskiyou County. He trained pilots in World War II. After the war, he learned to fly helicopters. He settled in Etna in the Scott Valley in the late 1950s and started his own company, Aetna Copters, which did rescue and firefighting work. Trimble pioneered the precision landing techniques needed in rough mountain terrain so he could rescue hunters and hikers who got lost or injured in the woods. He scouted for fires, and transported supplies and equipment to firefighting crews. Bob Alexander was also a Scott Valley resident and World War II veteran. He flew fighter planes in that war and flew bombers in the Korean War. In peacetime, he used the skills he’d developed in wartime to drop fire retardants from surplus military planes. He was another aviation pioneer, developing techniques for low-altitude flying in mountainous terrain. It required careful, precision work –

if you didn’t want to have a power line wrapped around your plane. Trimble and Alexander are featured in a new exhibit at the Siskiyou County Museum in Yreka, “Aviation History in Siskiyou,” that runs through next spring. It features historic photos, interpretive texts and scale models of airports and airplanes. It touches on the high points and colorful history of aviation in the county since the first plane flights there in 1918. Another pilot featured in the exhibit is Brian Favero, who, at 72, is still flying corporate executives all over the world from his home base in Lake Shastina. His main claim to fame, though, is that as a Navy aviator he was part of the recovery mission for the Apollo 16 moon flight. While other pilots picked up the three astronauts in South Pacific waters, Favero’s job was to ferry moon rocks back to Hickam Air Base in Hawaii.4 continued on page 34 NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2019

“I kind of drew the short end of the stick on that mission,” he says. The lunar rocks he picked up are on display at the Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Favero spent the rest of his tour of duty flying mail, medical supplies and injured soldiers from Vietnam to bases in the United States. One of the more colorful parts of the Siskiyou museum’s exhibit centers around hot air ballooning. The first flights were in the 1920s, and it became an organized sport in Siskiyou in 1994 with the first Balloon Fair at the Siskiyou County airport in Yreka. It moved around quite a bit after that before settling in at its current home at a field near Montague, where it attracts upwards of a dozen colorful craft each year. Like other pilots, balloon pilots are licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. It requires a good deal of skill and training to properly fly a balloon. Pilots steer them by raising or lowering the balloons to pick up wind currents that will send them in the right direction. Propane burners heat the balloon’s air to raise the balloon; turning the burners off cools the air inside to lower the craft. John Rogers of Yreka has ridden along on many flights at the Montague Balloon Fair, both in his role as a professional photographer and as a hot air balloon enthusiast. What impresses him most about the experience is not so much the view from high above, although that can be spectacular, or the sight of all those colorful balloons floating above the landscape.4 continued on page 36

“I THINK MOST OF THE MUSEUM’S VISITORS WILL BE FASCINATED TO LEARN THE ROLE THAT SISKIYOU COUNTY HAS PLAYED IN THE HISTORY OF AVIATION IN THIS COUNTRY...”

“I’m always shocked by how quiet it is up there,” he says. Airports are also featured in the museum’s exhibit. Montague had the first airport in the county, established in the early 1920s. It amounted to little more than a dirt strip for takeoffs and landings. Swirling crosswinds at that early, primitive airport caused serious difficulties for pilots trying to land their planes, so it was moved to a safer location in 1928. Six others have been established in the county, including those in Dunsmuir, Weed, Dorris and Happy Camp. “I think most of the museum’s visitors will be fascinated to learn the role that Siskiyou County has played in the history of aviation in this country,” says Patricia Lord, a Redding-based consultant who helped put the exhibit together. “I certainly was.” • Siskiyou County Museum • 910 Main St., Yreka • (530) 842-3836 Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 9 am to 3 pm Admission: $3 for ages 13 and older, $1 for ages 6-12, free for children 5 and under

COMMUNITY VOICE

BY BILLY PILGRIM

care & compassion M E R C Y H O S P I C E , A N G E L S O F M E R C Y A N D F E S T I VA L O F T R E E S HOSPICE – I ‘d heard of it, but never knew what it meant until my family needed Mercy Hospice. I always thought the word itself had a nice sound, evoking a soft, comfortable feeling, like home. And as I found out while dealing with end-of-life issues with three of my immediate family members, hospice is what the word sounds like – a special place for people who are nearing their end-of-life destination, and for the families and friends who love and care for them. For the members of my family on their final journey, Mercy Hospice provided compassion and comfort, and the care needed to give our loved ones a significant positivity in their quality of life. For our family and friends involved in the at-home caregiving, Mercy Hospice granted us an understanding of what we were experiencing, an opportunity to seek patience and calm in an unsettled and very insular world, and the greatly needed gift of sanctuary. While hospice provides the very needed medications, oxygen, hospital beds and other necessary medical supplies needed during a life-limiting illness, they also give dignity to the sick, and bereavement support for the friends and family so deeply involved. One of the great constants in our experience was the care and compassion we experienced from Meredith Bishop, who led our family through my sister’s and brother’s journey. I asked Meredith where her noble calling came from, and when she knew it was time to become a hospice nurse. “I knew when I was working in ICU, and I became so concerned for the families. I like the families to be involved, and to be able to give them some education about their loved one. When is it time to let go? What are we experiencing, seeing? It’s an extraordinary event that requires insight to be understood. Rather

than extending life, we sometimes are only prolonging death in a manner that is not acceptable to the patient. It can be very scary for the families. I receive incredible satisfaction being able to help families understand what they are going through.” My experience with the Angels of Mercy led me to my interest in the Festival of Trees, an annual fundraising event presented by Mercy Foundation North and Merchants Bank of Commerce. It benefits hospice services throughout the North State. Not everyone is able to pay for the care at the end of life. This seventh annual event raises funds to make up the difference between those who are able to pay and those unable to contribute. I was honored to speak at it one year. It’s a beautiful, joyful party and a great kickoff to the holiday season. You are invited to this wonderful event Saturday night, Nov. 16, at Turtle Bay Museum. Visit SupportMercyNorth.org for more information. Perhaps you would like to be a hospice volunteer? There are many opportunities for you to share kindness and mercy, including the “No One Dies Alone” program. If you can spare a few hours of your time, call (530) 245-4073. Not every community is as blessed as we are. Not every community has in-home hospice care. I am beyond grateful to have experienced the abiding love from Mercy Hospice. •

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

TIME WELL INVESTED M E N T O R S R E C R U I T E D A N D T R A I N E D AT C ATA LY S T M E N T O R I N G “HOW DO MENTORS WIN?” prompts the trainer. “BY SHOWING UP!” calls the class. Back when Aaron Hayes taught at a local continuation school, he picked up on a story floating around campus. A group of the boys discovered an old man working on a car in his driveway. They stopped to watch. The old man not only welcomed them, the story goes, but he invited them to help him, handing out tools and explaining what needed to be wrenched to fix things. The old man said they could come back any time, according to Hayes, and the boys took him up on it, making the visit a regular after-school activity. The schoolteacher initially took all this as a positive story, a good use of his students’ spare time. But he soon realized this one hour or so of extracurricular activity actually transformed these kids. Normally part of the rough-andtumble crowd at the continuation school, the boys seemed calmer and focused more to task in their classes.

“This is when I saw what mentoring could do, and how easy it could be,” says Hayes. “That old man changed the trajectory of those kids’ lives by only being there for them. He cared to be there.” Laid off from Pioneer during the 2007 economic turndown, Hayes became a pastor, eventually honing his mentoring skills with youth meetings at The Stirring, a Redding church. Two years ago, he and his former school principal teamed to create Catalyst Mentoring, breaking off from the church and setting up its own office in the city. Hayes now considers himself a former pastor and states flatly that Catalyst Mentoring is a non-denominational organization that mentors kids regardless of belief. “How do mentors win?” prompts Hayes the trainer. “BY SHOWING UP!” calls the class. Today, Hayes stands before a class of about a dozen students assembled at Parsons Middle School, but this time it’s a Saturday. 4 continued on page 42 NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Most of his students left adolescence behind a long time ago and all are here because they want to be here. This is Mentoring Boot Camp, run by Hayes and Elsbeth Prigmore, co-founders of Catalyst Mentoring, a nonprofit dedicated to recruiting and training mentors and placing them in schools to serve as models for respect and support for at-risk children. “Every kid is one parent or adult away from being a success,” declares Hayes. “Nine out of 10 of those mentored go into mentoring in the future. No one is changing the city more than those investing in our youth.” For his part of the three-hour session, Hayes offers heartfelt instruction on such topics as earning trust from an distrusting child, how to shift behaviors without concretely telling a mentee what to do, how to validate tiny steps taken with praise while encouraging more and, most importantly, how to forge and strengthen an emotional bond – winning, in mentor parlance – “by unconditionally, consistently showing up.” If Hayes presents the heart of the Catalyst curriculum, co-founder Prigmore addresses its mind. An independent educational consultant through her company Connect the Brain, she specializes in building capacity for safe learning environments by teaching teachers the functions of the

brain, especially the one in the head of a traumatized child. “You cannot teach a kid in panic mode,” Prigmore tells the class as she goes through the stages of the development of a child’s esteem. “As anxiety goes up, performance goes down.” She describes in detail how neuroscience can be applied to reach kids despite their trauma-induced impairments. Ultimately, Hayes’s heart and Prigmore’s mind come together to overcome barriers a mentor must breach to truly connect with mentees. One of the biggest is what Hayes calls “caveman thinking,” the reactive good/ bad, up/down, black/white mindset that restricts choices to only a stark two. He spends a lot of time detailing techniques and processes to open a mentee’s mind to the myriad of possibilities from which one can make a conscious, forward-thinking choice. Hayes cautions his class to avoid entering mentorship with the idea the mentor teaches a mentee how to be. “What if the kid doesn’t believe what you believe?” he asks rhetorically. “No, the message is, ‘You belong.’ I don’t care about what you believe; I don’t care about what you did; I don’t care about your sexual orientation – I care about you, regardless.”

“Nine out of 10 of those mentored go into mentoring in the future. No one is changing the city more than those investing in our youth.”

To date, Catalyst Mentoring has trained 350 mentors, according to Hayes, drawing from the ranks of mentoring projects from 22 local organizations, including the YMCA, Court Appointed Special Advocates and Exodus Farms. Prigmore says today’s mentoring boot camp marks the first time Catalyst has trained its own team and with their school liaison, Jenna Berry, they’ve launched an ambitious placement project. Catalyst Mentoring’s 2019-2020 school year goal is to place 10 mentors in alternative school programs on five targeted campuses: Parsons, Pace Academy, Mistletoe, Boulder Creek and Turtle Bay. Berry stands ready to pair 50 new mentors with children who need them, normally in groups of two or three. To make this goal, says Prigmore, they’re going to need more volunteers. “Anyone who has the desire and an hour a week can become a mentor,” she says. “That’s all it takes. It will change someone’s life. It’ll change your life, as well.” • Catalyst Mentoring 935 Industrial Street, Redding (530) 510-1990

Way

T H E B L U E R O O M T H E AT R E I N C H I C O SITTING kitty-corner to the southeastern end of the Chico State University campus above Collier Hardware, the intimate 126-seat Blue Room Theatre has been delighting audiences with creative, entertaining live performances since 1994. It all started when brothers and Chico High School graduates Dylan and Denver Latimer began putting on avant-garde acts in their parents’ backyard called The Butcher Shop Show. People who were around at that time agreed that the quirky and off-the-wall plays were a good excuse to sip on an adult beverage and watch experimental theater. Then in late 1993, the Latimers began raising money to finance a permanent theatre that was not out of their parents’ garage. Fortunately,

they caught wind of a space becoming available above Collier Hardware and started renting it out. Flash forward to 2004 and what is now called the Blue Room Theatre was picking up steam – all the showings of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” were sold out. The musical rock show was funny, inclusive, clever and featured many well-known Chicoans. Even now, it is considered the top-grossing show in the theatre’s history, prompting the Blue Room to bring the production back in 2014 with all the original cast and crew in a commemorative rerun. “That was one of my favorite audience experiences, and then when we did it 10 years later it was really great,” says Blue Room Managing Director Amber Miller. However, over the decades since the Blue Room’s inception, the space has gone through several changes – in management, usage and support. The Latimers first called the4 continued on page 48

NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Blue Room the Cosmic Travel Agency and then the Chico Creek Theatre Festival, then it became a masonic hall, and laid vacant for a while. In the early 2000s, the brothers had moved on to other ventures, but luckily local theater aficionado Joe Hilsee came in and became artistic director. The theatre has been able to remain in its current space and has continued to put on Main Stage and late-night shows funded through donations and the Guild – a program that gives members season-long access to Main Stage performances and opening weekend parties. Miller, who has been involved with the Blue Room since 1996 when she was a student at Chico State and landed a role in a “Twilight Zone” play, became managing director in 2015. She does set design and a few other roles, being involved in more than 100 productions over the years. Her favorite part of directing is making it all come together. “I love the collaboration, getting into the space and using the resources we have, then coming out on the other side of it. And I get to sit back, watch it and go home, whereas as an actor you don’t ever get to watch the play,” she says. Miller adds that the Blue Room strives to bring in performances that are contemporary, relevant and edgy that include some chestnuts of truth. And at a time when technology and mobile devices are stealing people’s attention, some live interaction and no-cell-phonesallowed entertainment can be a welcome respite. “Live theatre is important as our society is getting more isolated with everyone and their phones. But here you don’t have that. This is mixing visual art and people. Sitting in the audience and all that energy – sharing that experience together is exciting,” Miller says. The Blue Room Theatre can open as early as September and host performances through June. Joe Hilsee and Amber Miller were excited to kick off the season with “The Haunted,” which ran from October 3-19 and is an adaptation from the novel by Shirley Jackson. Also keep an eye out for the “Santaland Diaries” coming in December, “Measure for Measure” written by William Shakespeare to be performed live in January, various monologues throughout the season and other plays written and directed by locals. • The Blue Room • 139 W.

ON THE

LOOKOUT LOV E I N H I G H P L AC E S WITH TWENTY-THREE YEARS of experience in a fire lookout, Barry Snyder has a succinct description of how life there can change when smoke is spotted. “It’s like going from an ashram to a war zone,” says Snyder, who staffs Eddy Gulch Lookout in the Salmon River District. “Sometimes, if there’s a lot of lightning and many starts, we have to be the sole source of information to get ground crews in. We have slopes that are 60-70 degrees. You don’t want to run people around. It’s grueling. Time is of the essence. Response time is critical.” The ashram experience comes on all of the days when smoke isn’t seen but is being scanned for on a regular basis. A fire lookout spends time alone in an almost meditative state, learning the topography of the land. “The first part of the job is to just learn the landscape until you can see it, until it becomes part of you,” says Karen Anderson, Snyder’s partner in life who helms the Bolivar Lookout in Scott River District. “We’re looking at a lot of forested land and mountains. That becomes your meditation, looking out of soft eyes and seeing if anything is sticking out.”

The dichotomy of long hours scanning the horizon without any action combined with the need to jump into overdrive at the first sight of smoke makes for a truly unique career and way to live one’s life. “It becomes a soul-calling,” says Snyder. “It’s an extraordinary experience.” For Snyder, the call to the lookout began in a life crisis. “It was about the mid-’90s. I’d been in banking,” he says. “I just went through this crisis of not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.” A trusted friend, Tom Foley, made a life-changing suggestion: “‘Why don’t you go get a fire lookout, sit in the mountains for a while and figure it out?’” He did just that. He was hired sight unseen and pledged to stay a year. “You know, it’s 23 years later and I’m still there,” he says with a laugh. “It becomes a part of you,” adds Anderson, who made her way to Snyder’s lookout one summer when she was between jobs and searching for her own way. “I decided I should get a lookout.” She ended up in the lookout of Foley, who had made the original suggestion to Snyder. “I got the very lookout that he had been a lookout at for 19 years,” she says. 4 continued on page 56

We’re responsible for monitoring who’s on the ground and where and letting them know where the weather is and when it changes.”

“Right now our lookouts are only about 16 miles apart as the crow flies,” says Anderson. “We can’t see each other because there’s a mountain ridge. It would take about oneand-a-half hours to drive to each other. In the summer, our lookouts become our primary home, we spend so much time out there.” The couple has the same days off each week, Snyder three and Anderson two, which overlap. They make their way back to the home they share in Macdoel, a different ecosystem entirely from which they work. “It’s a high desert area. It doesn’t carry fire very well,” says Snyder. Adds Anderson, “We come home and our home feels very crowded with things. The lookout helps you to just become essentialized that only the real important things are there.” Out on their lookouts, the couple can communicate, but it’s primarily about weather. “Barry can see the clouds over me and tell me what they look like,” says Anderson. “We’re at the south end of the districts, and that’s where the weather begins. It comes up from the south.” Weather, of course, is what often starts wildfires and determines their direction and strength.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2019

“We’re information sources,” adds Snyder. “We communicate the weather if people are having difficulty out in the forest. It’s a really important communication function. If the weather changes, it’s crucial information out there. We’re responsible for monitoring who’s on the ground and where and letting them know where the weather is and when it changes.” The job has gotten more technical over the years, with lookouts now being outfitted with internet connections that allow the couple to access weather monitoring sites. Still, there’s nothing like seeing with your own eyes what’s in front of you. “Barry’s the weather guru,” says Anderson. “He can read clouds and their patterns. Everybody relies on him for that.” While the couple look forward to their days off together, they also treasure the solitude of their individual experiences while on duty at their respective lookouts. “There’s a magic about being a lookout,” says Anderson. “And there’s a mystic. Here we are all by ourselves up on a mountain top. It’s a very unusual situation. We feel very blessed.” • Melissa Mendonca is a graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities.

A FIRM FOUNDATION T H E A M E R I C A N A S S O C I AT I O N O F U N I V E R S I T Y W O M E N - R E D D I N G IT IS NOT JUST THE PROMISE of the traditional fresh-baked cookies that encourages a visit to the Home Tour and Art Show. The opportunity to tour three distinct and unique homes is not one to miss. Each private home has a character of its own. Homes on the tour are meant to inspire and appreciate – each has unique architecture or a feature that sets it apart from other houses. Presented by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), this will be the 49th Annual Home Tour & Art Show, offering tours of three distinct homes along with showcasing art. Nouvant Homes Inc. is the event’s main sponsor and has donated its newest model home in Deer Creek Manor north of Redding for the event to showcase as part of the tour. Seeing as it is a model home, the Deer Creek Manor location will serve as the pop-up art venue where those touring can enjoy art by local artists, refreshments and the views of the valley and mountains. AAUW member artists’ creations will not only be showcased, but will also be available for purchase, along with raffle tickets.

Tickets for the tour may be purchased in advance and are available at Holiday Market on Placer and on Hartnell in Redding, Enjoy the Store, Marshall’s Florist & Fine Gifts, Plaza Interiors Furniture & Design, Dandelion, Holiday Market in Palo Cedro, Maxwell Insurance & Financial or on the AAUW website. “It is enlightening and rewarding to experience the commitment and dedication of the women who comprise the membership of the Redding Branch,” says this year’s home tour chair, Noella L. Pearson. “I extend heartfelt and grateful appreciation to all AAUW members. Their collaboration in support of the Home Tour & Art Show allow our branch to achieve its mission.” Proceeds from the event are divided between AAUW local scholarships and AAUW National Fellowship Endowment which supports candidates working on advanced degrees (PhD or research).4 continued on page 60

“I am proud to be a part of such a dynamic and dedicated group of women,” says AAUW President Tara Swanson. “AAUW’s mission is to promote equity for all women and girls through advocacy, education and research. Our annual home tour has enabled us to raise money for local scholarships and also support the AAUW educational fellowships for the past 49 years. We hope many are able to join us on November 2.” AAUW was founded in 1881 by Ellen Swallow Richards and Marion Talbot. The mission combines advocacy, education, philanthropy and research to advance the equity of women and girls. Membership is open to those with an associate of arts degree or equivalent, Baccalaureate or higher degree from an accredited educational institution. Membership in a branch offers friendship with a united platform which makes positive changes to local communities. Members can also enjoy interest groups such as drama, wine tasting, film, art and hiking. The Redding branch of AAUW has been serving members since 1942. Branch members have the opportunity to network at the local level, serve in leadership positions and sponsor community action projects. Pearson was president in 2018-2019 and says, “It has been my personal honor to serve as president. It has also been an honor to chair the Home Tour & Art Show for 2018 and 2019.” Tara Swanson serves as president for the 2019-2020 board year. Their vision, as stated on their website, is to “bring people together for the common goal of breaking through educational and economic barriers for women and girls.”

AAUW’s Redding branch co-sponsors a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program, which inspires middleschool girls to become scientists, mathematicians, engineers and computer scientists. AAUW also developed Tech Trek, a science and math camp that promotes interest and excitement in these fields. Young women who enter eighth grade in the fall gain self-confidence and experience with hands-on activities. The camp is held on a university campus where students sleep, eat and enjoy recreational opportunities along with learning. Every year, Redding AAUW provides scholarships for local girls to attend. “Without our members’ selfless commitment, we would not be able to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research,” says Pearson. • American Association of University Women Home Tour and Art Show Nov. 2, 10 am – 3:30 pm • www.aauwredding.org Pictured on page 49: Tara Swanson, AAUW Redding Branch President.

COMMUNITY CRAFTERS OF TEHAMA

Cr3e3a3t3i3n3g3 Co3l3l3e3c3t2i3v3l3y3

IN TEHAMA COUNTY, the Do It Yourself movement has moved beyond crafting and into the world of entrepreneurship. The Community Crafters of Tehama are not only following their passions creatively, they’ve built markets for themselves through a series of craft shows at the Red Bluff Community Center. “It started in 2016 when I couldn’t get into a specific craft fair,” says Jackie Myers, founder of the group and a wire-wrapped jewelry maker and greeting card maker. “I realized there wasn’t anything in Red Bluff.”

She called together other crafters and retail vendors and they put together their first show. Twenty vendors got together for that first event and it went well enough to plan several more. Not only did they find markets for their products, but community, as well. “The friendships, the relationships between the vendors has just been a wonderful experience,” says Myers. “It’s just been great.” Linda Anderson of Grumpy Jim’s Designs concurs. She and her husband, Jim Prang, upcycle old wood and metal. Prang fabricates4 continued on page 64

anything from a picture frame to a table and Anderson paints it. “We were looking for something to do to stay occupied when we retired,” says Anderson, who had shared her career with Prang selling advertising for the Yellow Pages. “We were a good team doing ad sales. I love being able to work with him, to have him around, and the fact that we can stay busy.” Through Tehama Community Crafters, the couple has added friendships and camaraderie to their undertaking. “It’s great to socialize with the other crafters, to learn what their crafts are,” says Anderson. “Crafters have a way about them that I don’t find anywhere else. I really do love going out and being part of the community.” Tehama Community Crafters now organizes three craft shows a year, with a hallmark show coming up Nov. 23. “It’s a little fun event for people in our community to do a little early Christmas shopping,” says Myers. “Shopping local supports the community. It’s also a place to find unique items.” “We don’t limit it to just crafters,” she adds, noting that local direct sales representatives for businesses such as Pampered Chef and Origami Owl will also have booths. “We all have our own style of crafting. There are the direct sales people, too. We’re down-to-earth people.” As the group has grown, so has their commitment to giving back to the community. “We’ve raised money for veterans, PATH (The Poor and the Homeless Tehama County Coalition), Tehama Together,” says Myers. Most recently the group set up a scholarship fund. “Our vendors

will donate an item to be in the silent auction.” she says, looking forward to the day the first scholarships are given to local students. “We always give back to the community, which is my favorite part,” concurs Anderson. “When we donate to the silent auction it means a part of us goes out into the community. I really do love going out and being part of the community.” The November event will be extra special with holiday splendor, including Santa and Mrs. Claus, face painting for the kids and holiday treats. Anderson and Prang are excited to showcase their winter sleigh wall hangings and sets of three wooden Christmas trees for outdoor display. “There’s nothing but unusual items,” says Anderson. “Unique and unusual items.” • Community Crafters of Tehama A Santa’s Elves Christmas Fair Red Bluff Community Center, Nov. 23, 10 am – 4 pm www.communitycraftersoftehama.org

real good food K N O W W H E R E YO U R F O O D C O M E S F R O M W I T H B E LC A M P O FA R M S AT BELCAMPO FARMS, the meat of the matter is this: more and more health-conscious shoppers want to know more about the food they’re putting on the family table, and these Siskiyou County ranchers are more than happy to provide the answers. They can tell you how each steer, chicken, sheep, hog or turkey was raised, where it spent its days, what it was fed, how it was harvested and how it was processed. “We like to be transparent. We have an open-gate policy,” says James Rickert, Belcampo’s farm director. Belcampo has embraced the burgeoning farm-to-table movement and managed to apply the key features –

providing nutritious meat from organic, free-range animals that were treated humanely and raised on an ecofriendly farm – to a large-scale operation with state-of-the art distribution. How? “We’re the ultimate vertically integrated meat company,” Rickert says. Belcampo is in control from the start, farming the organic feed, shepherding its animals through the production process, including processing in its own USDA-inspected slaughterhouse, and into Belcampo’s own butcher shops and branded restaurants. The meat industry has changed so much over the years, including the use of antibiotics to accelerate growth and 4 continued on page 68

WE OFFER GOOD QUALITY AND NUTRITIOUS FOOD THAT WAS RAISED IN GOOD CONDITIONS AND HUMANELY TREATED THAT PEOPLE CAN FEED THEIR FAMILIES. inhumane factory farming conditions, that many consumers are starting to lose trust in the meat available through conventional suppliers, Rickert says. “We want to change that. We offer good quality and nutritious food that was raised in good conditions and humanely treated that people can feed their families.” Belcampo was established in 2012 as a joint effort by Todd Robinson, a retired financial executive, and Anya Fernald, whose interest in food distribution dates back to 1999 when she began her career in Europe and later went on to direct Slow Food Nation, a San Francisco festival started by famed restaurateur Alice Waters. The operation has grown to include 27,000 acres on four ranches, with the bulk of the farming taking place near Gazelle in the Shasta Valley. Mt. Shasta looms as the backdrop for the main 9,000-acre farm and the pastures contained in the nearby Parks Creek Ranch and the North Annex near Grenada. The 11,000-acre Pentacola Ranch near Cottonwood provides seasonal grazing during the winter months. Belcampo has 560 people on its payroll, including 32 who work on the farm. Beef from grass-fed cattle is the biggest seller, with lamb, pork and poultry continuing to gain popularity. In order to ensure autonomy and full start-to-finish control, Robinson and Fernald had a slaughterhouse built in Yreka. Not only is the facility inspected by the USDA, it has been designed in accordance with the philosophies espoused by Temple Grandin, a Colorado State University professor who is considered the nation’s leading compassionate animal handling expert. Belcampo emphasizes whole animal butchery, a practice that increases the value of each animal and minimizes any unnecessary slaughtering. Belcampo’s meat is served at namesake restaurants in the Los Angeles and San Francisco bay areas (three locations each) and in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards development. Belcampo products also are available at Erewhon markets and cafes in the Los Angeles area, Stone Brewing pubs in Southern California and through the Belcampo web site.4 continued on page 71

Belcampo also hosts weekend “meat camps” at its Gazelle farm to give its fans a tour of the farm and some hands-on instruction in meat cutting and cooking. Rhoda Magbitang, the executive chef at the famous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, attended a meat camp “and she fell in love with the farm. By the time she left, she said she only wanted to source her proteins from Belcampo,” Rickert says. For Rickert, a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo graduate whose family has been ranching in the North State for five generations, the regenerative farming practices employed at Belcampo, including crop and pasturing rotations and the emphasis on humane care, are a good fit. Rickert’s grandparents operated the Rickert Meat Co. in Cottonwood and his parents, James and Mary Rickert, operate Prather Ranch in Macdoel. Like Belcampo’s cofounders, Rickert embraces the philosophy that the more people know about the food they are eating, the better it is for both consumers and ranchers. “I raise good food for people who care,” he says. “We’re proud of what we do. I’ll show this operation to anyone.”

Belcampo Farms continues to incorporate technology into its present and future, including the addition of “cloud” kitchens matched with online food delivery apps like Uber Eats, Chowhound and Caviar. Rickert says he’s exploring partnerships with farms in the area (provided they are able to document organic, sustainable and humane practices) to help meet the growing demand for Belcampo’s products. “Our vision is bold; our ambition is to build an alternative meat supply system; real solutions are never simple fixes. Help us put health, taste and transparency first. Help us build a better cleaner world through meat,” says Fernald in the Belcampo mission statement. • www.belcampo.com

ALLGEAREDUP S T E V E P OT T S’ H A N D - C R A F T E D B I K E S I N E T N A IN HIS NOVEL “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” author Robert Pirsig writes, “On a motorcycle the frame is gone…you’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.” Pirsig was describing motorcycles, but it could have just as easily been bicycles – just ask Steve Potts, the worldrenowned custom bike builder who moved his shop to Etna three years ago. “People want their bikes to work so well that they disappear under them. They want them to

handle well, be safe in the corners and climb well.” And unlike a car where a rider travels in a protected chamber, Potts adds: “On a bike, you’re completely connected to the world.” Bicycles have always been a part of Potts’ life. He grew up riding on Mount Tamalpais, and the west Marin of his youth felt a lot like Etna does now – a small-town vibe surrounded by wilderness where you can get wonderfully lost “exploring the many creeks, rivers and mountain 4 continued on page 74

NOVEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

tops.” Potts built his first bike from discarded parts in the high school metal shop, eventually traveling all over the world on two wheels. For a short while, he made a living as a sheet metal worker and pro motorcycle rider. But ultimately his passion for bicycles overtook him. “I took a cross-country bicycle trip to New Zealand. I rode my bike around both islands and bushwhacked through the Southern Alps and did a lot of fun things. And right then I went, you know, this is just too good. I’m going to do it for a living.” In 1980, Potts turned “100 percent to the bikes.” “I didn’t know if anybody would even buy a bike from me. I just had to build them,” confesses Potts, which is amusing now since his business thrives almost exclusively on reputation and his contributions to cycling have been memorialized in places like the Marin Museum of Bicycling and the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. It’s partly because when Potts started, he was doing something unusual: welding titanium. With bike frames, titanium is desirable

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2019

because it’s lighter and stronger than steel, and stronger than aluminum. It also has high “fatigue strength” – meaning it will just about last forever. The one big drawback to working with titanium, however, is that it’s notoriously difficult. “You can’t fudge it. It’s got to be perfectly clean and mitered with tight joints. It’s got to be purged correctly with the argon gas inside, and all your heat ranges have to be perfect. It’s really fussy.” Potts compares the learning curve to playing the piano, which takes years of practice and dedication. “When you start out playing ‘Chopsticks,’ you try to use all your fingers because there are so many things going on at once.” But as you master it, the flow becomes almost meditative. Potts notes, “Once you get it down, it’s really, really wonderful.” As bike building has grown more specialized over the years, so have the custom requests. “We just did a bike about two years ago for a lady who rides like crazy all 4 continued on page 77

Catching her

When I was five, I realized I wanted to study marine biology after visiting the Newport aquarium and seeing Keiko reintroduced to the wild. My love of whales and marine life spawned from that moment and I never looked back. I was always very competitive and played softball and footbag (which is like hackysack, but played over a net and only with the feet). All through high school, I focused on athletics and my studies and competed in the science bowl until graduating in 2011 from Shasta High School. I knew that pursuing a science degree would take an average of five years—not wishing to be buried in debt, I enrolled at Shasta College. This decision proved to be one of the best that I had ever made. I feel extremely fortunate to have studied under professors with PhDs from highly respected universities. Dr. Masulis was immensely enthusiastic and integrated jokes into his lectures on physics while maintaining high expectations of our work. Similarly, Dr. Hannaford demanded that his students meet all requirements expected of a university student while also preparing us for graduate studies, which is a skill I still utilize and cherish. I transferred to Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA, where I graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in marine biology. I am currently completing graduate school applications while doing chemistry research and lab work for a corporation based out of Santa Rosa.

over the world. She wanted a bike with a front generator hub and a GPS charging system, lighting system and a radar system that would detect a car coming day or night, with custom racks from Japan. But the bike also had to come apart so it would fit into a travel box.” Of course, not every order is so intricate, and Potts likes the direction the market is heading. “It’s going to a more practical phase, and right now I’m building a lot of gravel bikes. People want to be able to ride their bike efficiently on the road and they also want to be able to take it off on a dirt road to get away from cars and explore.” This year, Potts will build around 40 custom bikes, with a minimum wait time of three to six months. In between custom builds, he also creates components like stems and handlebars for other custom bike makers to incorporate in their builds. Potts’ connection to Scott Valley itself dates back to 1972, when some childhood friends moved there from Marin. Potts loved visiting his friends, saying the Valley “always felt like home.” Then, three years ago, Potts took the plunge, relocating permanently to Etna in a search of better work-life balance – no small irony for a man who has steadied most of his life on two wheels. “Etna feels really authentic and it’s not crowded. You can go anywhere and in minutes be in incredible nature with views that go forever.” Just like the slow-moving backroads of Pirsig’s novel, Potts is grateful to live in a place that’s more about “enjoying the good times” than “making good time.” When asked where his favorite bike rides in Scott Valley are, Potts just winks and points to the surrounding mountains. “Somewhere up there. But let’s not give away too many secrets.” • Steve Potts Bicycles • 504 Main St., Etna www.stevepottsbicycles.com Megan Peterson is a Chico native who lives in Etna.

recipe NOVEMBER 2019

LAMB AND WILD RICE SOUP SERVES 6-8 This winter soup is aromatic, creamy and wonderfully comforting. Featuring Fall River’s Wild Rice, this soup has the earthy flavor of rosemary, a perfect addition to the lamb. This soup recipe is easily adjusted for a vegetarian version without the lamb. Or it can also be prepared vegan, using vegetable stock, omitting the lamb and using vegan butter and veggie stock to make the creamy sauce used to thicken the soup. Pick up Fall River Wild Rice at Enjoy the Store and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: 2 T olive oil 2 small leeks, white and green portions, thinly sliced 2 ribs celery, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. salt 1⁄2 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. chopped rosemary 1 lb. ground lamb 6 cups vegetable stock 1 cup uncooked wild rice 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced 2 medium sweet potatoes (1 lb. total), peeled and diced 1 bay leaf 1 1⁄2 T Old Bay Seasoning 3 T butter 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour 1 1⁄2 cups milk 2 large handfuls of kale, roughly chopped with thick stems removed

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2019

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Using a medium-high heat, add olive oil to a large stockpot. Once heated, add the leeks and celery. SautĂŠ for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are soft. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. STEP 2: Add the lamb and rosemary, salt and pepper and cook to brown the lamb, approximately 5-8 minutes, stirring to break up the lamb. STEP 3: Add in the vegetable stock, wild rice, mushrooms, sweet potato, bay leaf and Old Bay seasoning. Stir to combine and continue cooking until the soup starts to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.

STEP 4: During the final 10 minutes, prepare the sauce in a saucepan. Heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add in the milk and whisk until combined. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture nearly comes to a simmer and has thickened. (It will be a thick sauce.) STEP 5: Lastly, add the sauce and kale to the soup, and stir gently until combined. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. STEP 5: Serve warm with a crusty sourdough bread or a fresh rosemary focaccia.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN REDDING? Did you know that there is an overall plan for Downtown Redding? Over the years,

the Downtown Redding specific plan has served as a template for changes being made in Downtown. The opening statements in the plan encapsulate its intention for use in developing a renewed Downtown: The Downtown Redding Specific Plan Update will lay the foundation for the transformation of Downtown. It will guide new development as well as improvements to public streets and open spaces in Downtown. It is intended to be easy to use and understand. Downtown Redding has historically been the economic center of the region. After a period of limited investment common to many downtowns, Downtown Redding is now positioned to capitalize on current trends that are transforming many city centers into vibrant and popular areas. This Specific Plan Update is the result of a concerted effort to engage community members, developers, business owners and others to create a vision for Downtown, and use the vision to revise the existing guiding document that controls Downtown development, the Downtown Redding Specific Plan originally adopted in 2001. It is an action plan that builds on the good ideas in the previous Specific Plan and adds new ideas that respond to the way people live, work, and play today.
