We are proud to help make a difference in our community. Wishing you a happy holiday season! 800.797.6324 mechanicsbank.com
editor’s note december 2019 CHILDREN DASH off their letters to Santa, friends chatter about how to bless others with kindness, and families snuggle together with cups of cocoa to warm up on long, cold, winter nights. All is bright this holiday season. This month, we’re shining some light on Marble Mountain Chocolates, created by a wildland firefighter who spends her off-season as a high-end chocolatier. She donates 10 percent of her profits to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. Meanwhile, passionate powerhouse Randi Slaughter and a crew of comrades is working on a gift to Shasta County by overhauling its display at the state Capitol. Donations will fully fund the interactive diorama. Artistic talent flows freely in the North State, and much of it is showcased through North Valley Art League. For 40 years, this community of artists has supported each other and shared its work through a gallery that’s free to explore. And its classes offer an opportunity for just about anyone to become an artist. Ready for some holiday revelry? Brighten your holiday look with some sassy metallics – it’s time to dig out the bold and glittery palettes from the back of your beauty drawer and glam it up. We’ll show you how. If you’re still looking for the perfect holiday gifts, we’ve been collaborating with Santa’s elves to ensure that Enjoy the Store has something for everyone on your list. Your purchases put money right into the pockets of artisans who are our own friends and neighbors – and we’ll even arrange them in our handmade crates that assure the recipient that they’re getting something really special.

my town
VICKI STROUD, RED BLUFF VICE PRESIDENT, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER CORNERSTONE COMMUNITY BANK
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: A SHINING COMMUNITY Born in Phoenix, I arrived in Red Bluff as a 1-year-old child. We lived in the Forward addition part of town. That was a fabulous place to grow up, as there were many kids in the ‘hood. We spent days on end exploring the fields, building forts and riding horses. We would pack a lunch and be gone all day. Our parents never had to worry where we were. We could ride our bikes all over town. When I was 10 or so, the ski bus would pick us up every Saturday morning for a glorious day on the slopes of Lassen Peak. That was really my first love, snow skiing. All our friends would be on that bus and we would spend the day skiing. I feel a kinship with Lassen Peak as when my grandmother, Evelyn Hall, was 9, she ran from the lava flow as it was erupting. My parents taught me the concept of volunteering. My dad was a volunteer firefighter and helped with various events in town as a member of the Elks Lodge. He also was a member of Angelo Mendonca’s cooking crew, cooking for events such as the Cattlemen’s field day, Wool Growers, Elks picnics, crab feeds and any other place they could put a barbecue. He volunteered for the Red Bluff Round Up for more than 50 years, winning the Top Hand award in the 1980s. My mom was always by his side decorating for these events. What I love about Red Bluff are the people who make up the town. Our community makes things happen. When there is a good cause that will make Red Bluff a better place to live, this town is all about it. We have revitalized the historic State Theatre and now we are working on obtaining a Splash Park, all of which are spearheaded by great leaders. There is always something fun to do. When the rodeo and bull sale come to town, the area is alive and buzzing. So many people come to stay and spend their money in our town. There is nothing prettier than Red Bluff during the April rodeo. The hills are usually green and covered with wildflowers, the mountains are bright with snow and our river is full after a long, wet winter. The State Theater has many great events, as well as Cedar Crest Brewery. Red Bluff is a great place to raise a family, which is exactly what my husband of 43 years and I have done. We have two sons in the area, as well as two darling grandchildren. Wes and his wife Lauren work in Redding, while our youngest son, Matt, works in Anderson. I am a board member of Red Bluff Noon Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce. I am lucky that I work for Cornerstone Community Bank, as they allow me the flexibility to be out in the community. I co-chair the Jolene Kemen Tough Enough to Wear Pink luncheon as part of Red Bluff Round Up Week to support cancer treatment. Being a survivor, I really appreciate the backing of this worthwhile event. Our town is full of passionate folks who truly care. I feel so blessed to live, work and play in this shining community.

IF YOU’VE traveled between Highway 20 in Grass Valley and Highway 70 in Oroville by way of the Woodruff/ Matthews Road exit in winter, you may have noticed thousands of waterfowl hanging out in the rice paddies. Just like the people nicknamed “snowbirds” for emigrating down to their second homes in Arizona or Florida for the winter months, the real snowbirds use their wings to ride the Pacific Flyway, or the “highway in the sky,” to spend the cold season in Northern California. This annual migration caught the attention of Gray Lodge Wildlife Area volunteer Jennifer Patten, who guides bird tours on the 9,100-acre property in Gridley. After attending birding events in other parts of the United States, Patten realized there was something worth celebrating right here in Northern California. “The Pacific Flyway is an ancient migration path that birds have done for thousands of years. We started to have the idea of sharing the story of how they came here, and it’s a story of our agriculture,” Patten says about launching the Snow Goose Festival, now going into its 21st year. From October through March, thousands of ducks, geese, cranes and swans migrate down to this area, then go back to their breeding grounds in Alaska in the spring. The birds love this area because in the fall and winter, local farmers harvest the rice fields and then flood the plains, leaving behind leftover grain and invertebrates for birds to munch on until the weather warms up. The farmers enjoy having the birds there because in return, they fertilize the fields with their discarded meals. 4 continued on page 20

Between 140 and 160 species migrate to the Sacramento Valley in the winter, including tundra swans (big white birds with black beaks), the Cinnamon Teal (duck) and the American wigeon. “In winter, they all will join forces and live together in harmony. They’re all pretty social; the ducks often mix with each other. But it all changes in the spring when it gets closer to mating season and the males get more aggressive. There are a lot of different scenarios between species and their breeding habits,” Patten says. Upwards of 20,000 birds travel together in gigantic flocks, which is generally rare to see as 1.5 million birds take over the skies and ponds during the winter in Northern California. It’s not just waterfowl that successfully migrate year after year, either; hummingbirds also travel thousands of miles per year to find warmer weather. “Birds are incredibly resilient because they have to survive in the elements,” says Patten. It’s also a time when the raptors are active in Northern California as well to prey on the ducks. “There are hundreds of bald eagles in this area,” Patten says, along with a solid number of rough-legged hawks. However, while the birds are quite active in the winter months, observing them during the Snow Goose Festival at the end of January is the best way to get the full experience. “I’m very proud of this festival. We’ve introduced and educated thousands of people on how to maintain a healthy habitat for the birds, and we even educate youth on the resident birds that they can see in their own backyard. There’s a pure joy of learning and seeing the birds – it opens up a whole new world,” says Patten. When asked about her own favorite bird, Patten says with a laugh, “I have a new favorite bird every time I go birding. Every bird is so fabulous.” She enjoys the snow geese for their white plumage, black-tipped wings and orange-pink bill. “Seeing them feed together, fly together in the wetlands against the mountains, it’s just striking to see,” Patten adds.4 continued on page 22

“WE’RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ARTISTS. WE’RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ART…”
A YELLOW-STRIPED ceramic fish, a still-life drawing, a beaded bracelet, an abstract painting, a hefty wooden bench. Art happens in lots of different ways. North Valley Art League in Redding encourages the visual arts in various forms – whether the creator is a beginner or an established artist. “We try to show off the entire membership,” says Carla Canter, vice president of the league. “We’re trying to encourage artists. We’re trying to encourage art,” adds Charlotte Bryson, league corresponding secretary. The league is a community of artists supporting art in the community. The all-volunteer, nonprofit group was launched in 1979 by eight Redding-area artists and now has nearly 300 members. Initially, members met in each other’s homes. They later got gallery space at Old City Hall in Redding and then relocated to a cottage on Parkview Avenue. In 2004, the league moved into its current digs, Carter House Gallery in Caldwell Park. Built in 1942 as the home for the Harlan Carter family, it later was turned into Carter House Natural Science Museum, a popular place with owls, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles and a hedgehog among its residents. The city-owned building became available to the art league after Carter House Natural Science Museum merged into Turtle Bay Exploration Park. “The city has been wonderful. They give us a very good rent,” Bryson says. The 2,500-square-foot building is surrounded by the MatsonMowder-Howe Celebration Garden (featuring California native plants) and situated next to the Sacramento River in Caldwell Park.4 continued on page 26 DECEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.com

“IT’S NOT JUST WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS OF FLOWERS”
“This is a beautiful but isolated spot,” Canter says. “So many people who have lived here for many years have no idea that we are here.” The league would like to change that. It encourages visitors come by to check out the artwork. The gallery is open five days a week and there’s no charge to wander in and look around. Each month the league features a new exhibit of works by members. All mediums are welcome. “Sculpture, woodwork, fabric art, you name it, we have it,” Bryson says. Artists decide if their works will be strictly for display or also available for sale. In addition to the monthly shows, the league sponsors three juried shows each year. The National Painting Show draws interest from throughout the country. Last year there were 417 submissions, Bryson notes. The other two juried shows are the Small Painting Show featuring paintings by North State artists and the Regional Photography Show showcasing photographs from Northern California and Southern Oregon photographers. For the juried shows, a professional artist reviews submissions and selects pieces to be on exhibit. Carter House Gallery includes a gift store of cards, bracelets, earrings, purses, scarves, pottery, knitted hats and other items made by local artists. The store is well stocked during the holiday season. “It’s all original handmade art and unique items,” Bryson says. The league hosts regular oil and watercolor painting classes plus art critiques throughout the year. Workshops are held periodically. The league looks for opportunities to challenge artists and introduce new
26
www.EnjoyMagazine.com DECEMBER 2019
techniques with its workshops; a recent event explored abstract painting on large canvases. “We had 12 women sign up. They took over the gallery with these very empowering, big abstract pieces,” she says. The league encourages children to explore art, too. Every summer it works with Redding Recreation Department to offer a children’s program with league members leading the lessons. “Children come over and have lessons twice a week,” Canter says. In one session last summer, children made tambourines with paper plates and dried beans. The league has changed quite a bit over its 40 years. “The art has become more diverse,” Bryson says. “It’s not just watercolor paintings of flowers,” Canter adds. Originally, the focus was solely painting. Photography, woodworking, ceramics and other three-dimensional art have been added to the mix. Abstract pieces have become more common. Members represent a range of ages and
artistic styles as well as experience and training. “The thing that amazes me is that we have so many talented people in the area,” Canter says. League members can take advantage of a weekly open studio in the gallery. The sunny studio space is a place to create as well as connect with other artists. Bryson and her husband, Bernie, joined the league in 2011. “It’s funny how over the years the gallery and organization have taken hold of us. We have formed a genuine attachment to North Valley Art League and the many fine people we have met.” Bryson adds: “Art is another way of informing yourself and expanding yourself.” Art is essential, Canter says. “It should be part of the fabric of every community.” • North Valley Art League and Carter House Gallery 48 Quartz Hill Road, Redding • Free admission Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm (Holiday closures: Nov. 24 - Dec. 2; Dec. 22 - Jan. 1) (530) 243-1023 • www.nval.org

Make, Merry & More RED BLUFF’S MAKERY 1900 IN A STORY that should warm the hearts of high school teachers and administrators everywhere, Andrea Emerick not only completed her senior project in 2004 at Orland High School, but went into the field she researched. “The topic I chose for my senior project was antique restoration,” says the owner of Makery 1900, a relatively new business in downtown Red Bluff which teaches basic to advanced furniture refinishing for projects large and small.
It’s a skill she learned from her family, “hanging out with my dad when he would have time off and teach me about refinishing.” Her passion for antiques came from family vacations antiquing and hitting yard sales. “Old pieces are made to last,” says Emerick. “They have character.” There’s a joy in seeing a piece come back to life through careful refinishing for her. “I’ve really taken a liking to finishing early 1900s vanities,” says Emerick. “There’s 4 continued on page 30

something special about seeing a little girl sit at a vanity I refinished and seeing her learn to admire herself.” A mother of three children under 4, Emerick says she not only finds joy in seeing a child use her furniture, but also finds respite in the refinishing process. “It’s creative therapy,” she says, noting that a reason she opened the shop was to share the practice with others. “Our goal is simple. It’s to have and provide a stress-free environment where people can shop and relax and get some paint therapy. You can lose yourself in what you’re doing.” She’s also thrilled to watch friendships develop, especially amongst women who may be more isolated as stay-athome moms. Makery 1900 has hosted everything from birthday to Welcome to Remission parties, and Emerick has seen great leaps of confidence in attendees. “At one of my workshops, a gal who had never refurnished anything came to learn how. She chose the colors for the house she would move into based on the color of her piece. That was a great honor. Another customer gained confidence to paint her entire kitchen.” “We give advice all the time,” says Emerick. “But usually we tell people to start with something small before taking on the family heirloom.” “One of the most special workshops we offer is during the holidays when we create personalized Santa Sacks, a special DIY keepsake to use for countless years,” she says. “In December, many personalized and custom project4 continued on page 32

requests come to life in our small workshop, which is a joyful blessing to be part of.” Makery 1900 stocks paints and supplies by such brands as Fusion Mineral and Dixie Belle. “They are non-toxic so you can still do projects in winter,” Emerick says. Both companies started small and are quickly growing in the market, bringing Emerick much pride. The store has branched out to stock retail gifts as well as supplies, a turn Emerick took after realizing “not everyone wants a dresser.” The store prides itself on showcasing the wares of other local makers. “The first year we were entirely fire wives, but I didn’t even realize it,” she says with a laugh. “Everyone around me is fire.” The daughter of a CalFire employee and the wife of a CalFire battalion chief, Emerick herself started out as a firefighter and spent many years as a dispatcher. Eventually, she broke out on her own endeavor. “I am just an overly ambitious lady who decided I wanted to take my hobby to the next level and turn it into a business,” she says. “And I wanted to offer workshops because it was something the community didn’t have and I thought it would be beneficial.” She came about the
activity as a respite in child rearing. “In 2016 I picked up the hobby of refinishing furniture as a therapeutic outlet during my boys’ naps and when they went to bed. I would stay up until midnight making over vanities and dressers, taking over my garage with my projects.” Whatever the project or time of year, Emerick says the success of Makery 1900 and others lies in the community. “It is our small community’s support, and those who shop local who allow my business to grow and support other local makers’ dreams.” • Makery 1900 620 Main Street, Red Bluff www.makery1900.com (530) 228-6891

Mercy Foundation North Presents
Sydney Mancasola and
Friends
Thursday January 9 th at the Historic Cascade Theatre The decision to come home and perform before friends and family was an easy one for Sydney Mancasola, an international opera star and Redding native who splits her time between the United States and Europe. Deciding who will join her on the Cascade Theatre stage was an easy task as well, she says, considering the wealth of talent available in the North State.
Internationally renowned soprano Sydney Mancasola will be joined by British/Irish bass Barnaby Rea. Other artists with local roots include tenor Dashiell Waterbury and violinist Michael Eby.
The easiest thing of all, she says, was agreeing with Mercy Foundation North to have the performance celebrate Mercy Medical Center Redding’s 75th anniversary and support Mercy’s Palliative Care Services. “To do a benefit for a foundation in my home town is especially meaningful. Considering everything Redding has been through in the last few years, I felt compelled to give back,” Mancasola says by phone from a concert stop in Washington, D.C. “I’m also amazed and inspired by all the positive changes in Redding. It’s fitting to return there and sing.” “Sydney blessed us with a stunning concert in 2014 to support our Connected Living agency, and so many of her fans
Celebrating 75 years of Mercy Medical Center Redding
have asked for another performance,” notes Maggie Redmon, President of Mercy Foundation North. “We are humbled and thrilled that she will sing for her hometown audience to help Mercy’s patients. This will be a stunning concert.” The January 9th performance benefits Palliative Care Services, a program Mercy enhanced in 2017 with the hiring of Lauren Loffsner, a Certified Palliative Care Coordinator. Palliative Care serves as a bridge between physicians, caregivers, the patients, and their families. The goal of the Palliative Care Team is to accompany each patient on the journey from the moment of diagnosis and throughout their treatment, focusing on the emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical needs of the patient and his or her loved ones.
The Concert
National Opera and Teatro Municipal de Santiago in Chile. To help celebrate her homecoming, she reached out to lifelong acquaintances Dashiell Waterbury, a tenor, and violinist Michael Eby to add to the Cascade program.
“To do a benefit for a foundation in my home town is especially meaningful.”
Mancasola, a soprano, was homeschooled with her four siblings in Shasta County by her parents John and Molly Mancasola and began taking classes at Shasta College at age 15. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and continued her studies at the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. She made her professional debut in June 2013 in Fort Worth, Texas.
After a three-year tenure in the Oper Frankfurt ensemble, Mancasola began accepting performance engagements as Bess in a new production of “Breaking the Waves” at the Edinburgh International Festival and at the Adelaide Festival Centre in New Zealand. She has recently performed with the Komische Oper Berlin, the Washington
Waterbury, a Redding product who is now busy as a full-time professional in the theater field, is the son of Robert and Elizabeth Waterbury. Robert Waterbury was Mancasola’s first vocal instructor.
Eby’s mother, Sheri, started giving Mancasola violin lessons when Mancasola was 2. Rounding out the ensemble will be Mancasola’s partner, the bass singer Barnaby Rey. The foursome will be accompanied by the North State Symphony orchestra under the direction of Robert Stone.

RANDI SLAUGHTER wants Shasta County to put its best face forward, and especially in California’s Capitol, where more than a million people a year have a chance to check out the county’s features. The trouble is, the county’s best face is looking a little fatigued. If the collection of county displays on exhibit in the Capitol were a dating app, a fair number of potential daters would probably swipe left. Slaughter takes a kinder approach: “I had seen the county displays in my normal visits to Sacramento and I noticed ours was a little outdated,” she says. How outdated? Completed in 1993, the current display highlights the Dixieland Jazz Festival, a Redding event last held in 2000, and celebrates the county’s once-thriving mining industry. What’s missing? The Sundial Bridge, the historic Cascade Theatre, the Sacramento River Trail network, Turtle Bay Exploration Park and other features with the potential to put Shasta County on the mental map of Capitol visitors. Slaughter says the idea of giving the display a facelift first surfaced as a potential group project for her Leadership Redding class. When the group decided not to pursue it, Slaughter decided to take it on by herself. “Something needed to be done,” she says. Slaughter huddled with her husband, Rocky, a public relations professional now in his third year of law school, and held a brainstorming session. How could the exhibit – a glass-encased display about six feet high and three feet wide – be brought into the 21st century? High-tech QR codes? Glitzy video displays?
The couple decided some field work was in order. “We decided to sit and watch people, so on five occasions, at about two hours each time, we would watch people and how they interacted with the display. Ironically, ours is 26 years old but it was one of the fan favorites. The interactive diorama effect was quite popular and really engaged them,” Slaughter says. Using a stopwatch, the Capitol corridor sleuths determined the Shasta County display was capturing about eight seconds of attention, on average. Counties with the flashy video displays and QR codes (barcodes that direct smartphone users to a website) weren’t stopping as much traffic, Slaughter says. The Slaughters realized that passersby, and kids in particular, enjoyed the three-dimensional diorama style and the figurines. With an artistic direction in mind, the next step was locating a diorama designer up to the task. Their search led to New York-based Nix + Gerber, a twoperson team that has created miniature sets and props for Tic Tac, Oreo cookies, Greenpeace and Ben & Jerry’s, among other clients. “We worked and searched and did due diligence for the best answer,” Slaughter says of selecting an out-of-town contractor, “but we don’t have a local business that focuses on model making. Nix + Gerber will be on budget and can meet our timeline.” Slaughter took her idea before the Shasta County Board of Supervisors in June and received a unanimous vote of approval. Shasta County Executive Officer Larry Lees noted that the county set out 4 continued on page 38 DECEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.com

Vaping/Electronic Cigarettes
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced a new name for vaping-related illness: E-Cigarette or Vaping product use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). Vaping is a new form of inhaling nicotine that CDC would like to seriously curb. It’s what you do with an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), and it’s gaining in popularity. The battery-powered cylinders deliver nicotine with a puff of hot gas, minus the smoke. The CDC, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA), state and local health departments, and other clinical and public health partners are investigating a multistate outbreak of lung injuries associated with use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products. What we know about the outbreak: As of October 22, 2019, 1,604 cases of EVALI have been reported to CDC from 49 states (all except Alaska), the District of Columbia, and 1 U.S territory. * Thirty- four deaths have been confirmed in 24 states (as of October 22, 2019). The median age of deceased patients was 49 years and ranged from 17 to 75 years. Among 1,378 patients with data on sex (as of
October 15, 2019) 70% are male. Among 1,364 patients with data on age (as of October 15, 2019). The median age of patients is 24 years and ages range from 13 to 75. 79% of patients are under 35 years old. By age group category: 14% of patients are under 18 years old 40% of patients are 18-24 years old 25% of patients are 25-34 years old 21% of patients are 35 years or older. Some patients have reported that their symptoms developed over a few days, while others reported that their symptoms developed over several weeks. Those who contract the illness often experience pneumonia-like symptoms including coughing, chest pain and shortness of breath. Other symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea — accompanied by fever, chills, and weight loss As flu season approaches, the CDC urges doctors to be on high alert as EVALI symptoms can look similar to that of the flu. Tobacco/nicotine dependence is a condition that often requires

to update the display two years earlier, but that effort was not successful. “I’m really grateful for the passion they have for this project,” Lees says of the Slaughters. “And for finding private funding. Kudos to them.” “I’m not so sure about your stalking the hallways of the Capitol but I’m grateful,” Supervisor Leonard Moty told them with a chuckle. “Your passion and your enthusiasm are obvious. Thank you for your hard work.” With the board’s OK in hand, Slaughter then turned to fundraising. The cost to refurbish Shasta’s Capitol display came to $40,000. Partnering with the Shasta Regional Community Foundation and turning to Barbara Harrison and Megan Conn for help, Slaughter says $20,000 is in the account and the remainder will be provided through commitments from various groups, local businesses and individuals. Dignity Health, the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association and Shasta Caverns have been major contributors. “It shows the commitment of the community that our county is displayed in a positive way,” Slaughter says. She hopes to unveil the new display this spring. • www.californiaelevated.com

Anderson and friends. “I don’t know if it was any good, because nobody had caterer Christian Bachman can, though many of us might call the first taught me how to cook yet,” he says. When he grew up, he found memories of a 25-year-old not so distant. Still, he can look back a himself a teacher. And then another, and another. Today, he owns and manages Bachman’s Wholesome Catering Co., couple of decades to a moment that set his destiny. “I was 3 years old and it was like I couldn’t eat anything because of with an emphasis on everything made from scratch. Whether grilling chicken on-site for church volunteers on food allergies,” he recalls. “It felt like I his mobile rig or taking over the Elks was allergic to everything.” Having to Lodge kitchen to serve more than 200 eat a restricted diet as a child was bad “I WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS LIKE I high school alumni celebrating their enough, but the table being loaded COULDN’T EAT ANYTHING BECAUSE OF 50th class reunion, Bachman says he with good food when he sat down to FOOD ALLERGIES.” puts in the time, work and expertise to eat with his parents and four older make even the simplest dish memorable. brothers made things even worse. “I started the pork at 2 am and I was That changed after his mother took him to a holistic doctor. “I ate nothing but braised lamb and sweet sleeping while it cooked,” he says of the pulled pork now warming in potatoes for nine months,” he says. “It was a detox diet, and it worked. his rig’s 700-pound oven. “You have to slow cook it long enough to I went from being allergic to 32 ingredients to just bananas.

The meal coordinator for Pathway Church of Redding this evening, volunteer Courtney Stevenson accepts the role as marinated chicken taste tester. “Mmmmm... it’s tender and juicy. Very flavorful,” she says, more than slightly put on the spot. Another unusual thing about this caterer is his extensive knowledge of food. Trained by experts in the food service industry, he sounds like a sous chef who caters. For example, he knows how to balance flavor across all four taste buds. “With your first bite, you get a first flavor. Four chews later, it’s different,” he says. “And it’s not just taste. I indulge all five senses.” OK, smell, touch – and sure, sight, as in presentation – but sound? “I listen to the food as I cook it,” he answers instantly. “You want it to have just the right crunch.” The boy who couldn’t eat – and then could – grew up focused on a chef ’s career, tolerating high school only as long as he had to. He dropped out at 16 and went to work in food service, over the next three years cooking in local kitchens at Outback Steakhouse, View 202 and The Stirring Cafe. “I just fell in love with it,” he says. “I worked 70-80 hours a week. You need the work hours to become valuable as a chef. When I was 19, I took a shot at culinary school. They gave me a book and a really expensive lab fee. I lasted one semester. I learned more by working and reading the book on my own.” Bachman polished his culinary education by targeting a posh vineyard resort in Sonoma County. He worked his way up to sous chef. “You have to be able to lead and teach,” he says. “You have to be able to recognize a cook a chef can rely on.” After returning to Redding, he took over the kitchen at ShiningCare’s tea house, cooking from scratch on site and catering his

own menu. Business grew so fast that within six months he needed a larger kitchen. Two years ago, he launched Bachman’s Wholesome Catering Co. Throughout the last seven years of this culinary saga, Bachman’s wife, Monique, watched the transformation from cooking enthusiast to sous chef. Along the way, she tasted the fruits of his best labor. “I’m a really picky eater. If it’s not cooked perfectly, I won’t eat it,” she says. “We’ve been together nine years. He’s learned my taste buds. He gets it right every time.” Bachman says last week he worked 100 hours. This week, he and his four employees fed the Shasta High School Class of ‘69. He sees his catering service as a contribution to his community, literally serving the people. He wants to do more, eventually opening a place of his own, and he feels he’s well on his way. “I want to open a restaurant with a new kind of hospitality, like my grandma’s,” he says. “She is an excellent cook, and she brings the family together over food. I think my passion for food and hospitality stems from her. I believe the best times in life are oftentimes shared over the dining table.” • Bachman’s Wholesome Catering Co. 3210 W.

ERIC AND JODI FOGELIN’S O L D S H A S TA C O F F E E C O M PA N Y
LAST FEBRUARY, a couple walked down Eureka Way, in the snow, all the way from Old Shasta. “We have to open our coffee shop,” they exclaimed. Snowed in at their home and unable to maneuver their cars down their steep driveway, Eric and Jodi Fogelin knew there was power at their coffee shop, which at that time had only been open for a couple of weeks, and because of the overnight “snowmageddon,” there would be plenty of chilly customers to serve. This is the kind of customer service that has kept Old Shasta Coffee Company going strong for almost a year. You could say it’s in their blood. The Fogelins have worked in coffee for years, mostly in the Seattle area, Eric as a roaster and Jodi as general manager. They come
from an area where coffee is truly everywhere and the Fogelins take it very seriously. Coffee is important to them, and when they opened their café, they wanted just the right blend. They buy their coffee from The Caffè Umbria Roastery in Seattle. “We tried to go with a local roaster,” says Eric, “but the trend right now is light roast, and we wanted to be different. We lean toward a fully roasted, full-bodied cup of coffee – something that stands up to milk – with a more traditional flavor.

a family.” Two of their employees have been with them since the beginning, and they continue to hire more. Just 10 months ago, Old Shasta Coffee Co. was just an idea. But Jodi knew all it would take was the right space and that idea would become their new venture. They found that space next to Ace Hardware on Eureka Way. “We have a big parking lot, we’re on the right side of the street for traffic and we love having the schools nearby,” Jodi says. Eric says they wanted a café, not a drive-through. “There are good reasons for a drive-through, but we really wanted a neighborhood café. People have to make a choice to get out of their car and come in.” When they first moved in, a sandwich shop was in the same building, but since that shop closed, customers have been asking the folks at Old Shasta Coffee Co. to serve more food. They keep it simple – and local – with baked goods, salads and sandwiches. The Fogelins use local businesses such as Furnari Sausage Co., Milk House Cookies, Tantardini’s European Bakery, Off the Farm Foods and Measures of Joy for all of their food items. Soon, Eric and Jodi hope to start up their own roaster in Old Shasta, so the coffee would be local, as well. “We don’t want to take any business away from what is already a limited area out there. It’s not really a second location – it’s a way to expand our coffee,” Eric says. The Fogelins have also acquired a coffee truck for events, and they have plans to start up a coffee delivery service for the people in the downtown area who may only get a 10-minute break and can’t make it all the way over to the café. “After the Carr Fire, we really saw what an amazing amount of cool people Redding has,” says Eric. “And once the café opened, we saw that even more. We’ve met a lot more people from Old Shasta, some who have lost their homes, and so we wanted to honor the area.” They also honor the area by displaying art from local artists, like students from University Preparatory School, and they work with the North Valley Art League. “The kids love it, and the parents love it,” Jodi says. “We like being the neighborhood café,” Jodi says. “It’s what we wanted to create. And the customers have told us they’re so happy to have something on the west side.” “It’s a fun business,” Eric adds. “People come in and they’re happy because they’re getting their coffee. And it’s just…fun.” Speaking of fun, the Fogelins are both pilots. They met on Whidbey Island, and while Eric was a commercial pilot, he was working on a plane and kept going into the coffee shop where Jodi worked. “You could say aviation and coffee brought us together,” he jokes. That sounds like the perfect blend. • Old Shasta Coffee Company • 2275 Eureka Way, Redding Hours: Monday-Saturday, 6 am-4 pm • Find them on Instagram

Storybook Beginning By age two I knew I wanted to be like Walt Disney and to be published. Shasta College helped turn that childhood dream into a reality. About two months after starting at Shasta College I became co-head editor of the college’s newspaper, The Lance. I learned so much from the club’s faculty advisor, not just about producing quality publications, but also about confidence, perseverance, and patience. My interactions with the fantastic Kathryn Caulkins, my creative writing teacher, opened so many doors for me and showed me what I could accomplish. In Kathryn’s class, there was an optional extra credit project I almost didn’t do—which ultimately became Chasing Figments! Without that class, my book wouldn’t even exist! Art was a challenge, but I began working for Dave Fraser on set designs for the college and he helped me improve my painting skills. I continued to improve in art with classes from art instructor Andrew Patterson. He miraculously took me from stick figures to painting ballerinas with a shred of dignity. All of these classes, teachers, and administrators gave me so much. I learned so many practical skills at Shasta College, but even more importantly, I learned a lot about myself and what I was capable of accomplishing. Now, I have written, illustrated, and published a book! I can’t stress enough how important it is to believe in your aspirations and keep pursuing them. If you feel like you aren’t good enough to reach your dreams, take a class, use a little imagination, and learn! Marissa Shasta College Knight

all that glitters W E A R A B L E M E TA L L I C S F O R H O L I D AY C H E E R IT’S PARTY SEASON! We finally get to play with the bold and glittery palettes that spend most of their time sitting untouched at the back of your beauty drawer. And if you’re the type of person whose makeup M.O. is more on the no-makeup makeup spectrum, the holidays provide the perfect opportunity to test sparkly shadow, bold lipstick or any combination of the two. And even if you’re not the glitter makeup or red lipstick type, there are plenty of metallics, mattes and brights for you to work with. START WITH A CANDLELIT COMPLEXION. A wash of iridescence on your cheeks will give you a sexy I-worked-out-today radiance. Using reflective pigments helps your cheeks look sculpted and glowing. Get a dewy base with tinted moisturizer and nude lip gloss. Then use a blush brush to apply a peachy powder bronzer to the apples of your cheeks and a highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones. Look for a luminizer with silvery pearly or light gold undertones if you’re fair. Deeper coppers and bronzes will warm up medium and dark skin tones. 4 continued on page 50

NAILED IT Even if you’re not quite ready to commit to a full jade green eye à la Lucy Hale (look it up – it’s gorgeous), a metallic mani is like gems for your fingers. A fun way to pick polish: Match your nails to your hair color. Blonde? Try a yellow gold or bronze shade. Strawberry blonde or auburn? Try rose gold or copper. If you’re brunette, opt for pewter or dark silver. Keep your nails on the short side – no longer than a quarter inch beyond the tips of the fingers – and file them into a soft oval shape. Paint on a thin coat, letting it dry for one minute, then add another thin coat. Every three days, layer on a high-shine topcoat to prevent chips and add luster.
THE EYES HAVE IT Dark and smoky eyes? Snooze. Make your gaze twinkle with luminous eye shadows. Metallic shades reflect light beautifully and brighten your eyes. If you’re pale or have blue or green eyes, try yellow gold or rose gold shadows. If you have medium to dark skin, or have hazel or brown eyes, use bronze, pewter or copper shades. Apply the shadows from your lash line to your crease, blending as you go, and then trace a little of the same color underneath your lower lashes with an eyeliner brush.
HAIR APPARENT As for party-perfect hair, easy-going ‘dos complement metallic makeup because they balance out a dressier look. Curl hair using a one-inch iron, wrapping each section around the barrel in alternating directions. Or create a side part and pull your hair into a loose bun behind one ear at the neck, letting a few wispy pieces hang down. Don’t let this holiday season go by without enjoying a little bling-a-ding-ding! Embrace the glitterati and go for it! •

BLING IT ON And finally, bring on the bling in sparkly clothes. The holiday season is the ideal time to mix in attention-grabbing pieces. If your dress has sleeves, do a higher hem and show off some leg. And if it’s a one-shoulder or tank dress, cover those knees. For a subtler look, wear a top or pants with black sequins. Accessorize with bracelets, earrings and rings in rose gold, chrome, bronze and yellow gold. And forget the rule about matching metals—the more, the merrier!

Zane was born and raised in Redding, where he enjoyed the freedom to explore and experience what Northern California had to offer. “My wife and I moved to Southern California for 15 years to go to school and establish ourselves, but I desired to give our three boys some of the freedom that I loved when I was young,” says Zane. “This was 11 years ago and the boys have developed into young men and have a strong love for the wilds of NorCal.” Zane loves the area’s proximity to nature, but nature can be destructive. Homes, businesses and lives were affected by the flames and devastation left after the Carr Fire. Zane lost his home and manufacturing facility in a single afternoon. The specialty tools he had acquired during his career were gone. The warped, decimated steel building, molten aluminum and ash were all that remained after the inferno. Prior to the fire, a small production of STOW wallets had been made. He has started over and is in the process of rebuilding the manufacturing facility.

able to accommodate business cards and cash without the bulk, and he wanted a wallet he could attach to his phone. A 30-year history as a freelance aerospace engineer gave him an opportunity to master the skills needed for the project; he added a universal phone mount that allows one’s wallet to attach by a magnet to a phone. Multiple prototypes were tested and retested by Zane and his sons, Jordan, Elijah and Noah. After passing, their product was ready to be introduced to the world. “We actually had many people stop us and ask, ‘What type of wallet is that?’ Many of these people were anxious for production to start and have since converted to the STOW wallet,” Zane says. The world was introduced to the STOW wallet with a Kickstarter Campaign. This brought 389 backers who wanted to personally experience the STOW wallet. “There is nothing better for an engineer than to have people accept and embrace their design solutions,” Zane says. People from all walks of life are using the STOW and the reviews are five stars. “The slip wallet is easily the coolest, most efficient wallet I’ve ever seen or had. Really great product.” says Austin Bramson. Michael Montoya adds, “Great finish on the wallet. I love the texture and the ease of use. The slipping will take a while to learn. Thank you Tobe for a great product!” An ambassador program has been established to allow others to share the news about the STOW wallet. “As we develop our marketing skills and customer base it will be easier to develop and introduce our unique creative products to the world,” Zane says. “The STOW wallet is just the beginning.” • www.STOWwallet.com • Find them on Facebook and Instagram

J E N N A S C OT T ’ S M A R B L E M O U N TA I N C H O C O L AT E S SIXTY MILES southwest of Yreka, the scenic Marble Mountain Wilderness is a recreational paradise, home to mountains, lakes and meadows, and bisected by the famous Pacific Crest Trail. But its most distinctive landmark is the Marble Rim – a striking white marble mountain formation that glimmers in the sun. As stunning as it is unexpected, the Marble Rim is what gives the Wilderness its name, and has inspired a number of other business names in the nearby town of Fort Jones, the gateway to the Marbles.
But it’s Jenna Scott of Marble Mountain Chocolates that might be just as surprising as the Marble Rim itself. A wildland firefighter by summer, Scott spends her offseason as a high-end chocolatier, merging her love of fire and chocolate. “My first fire season I was in the Marble Mountains. And since then I’ve spent time on a bunch of different modules in the Forest Service and we always come back to the Marbles. It’s my favorite wilderness.” The purity of the Marbles is what Scott tries to infuse in her4 continued on page 60

chocolate. “I leave out any dyes or unnatural products, because I found the simpler the better. You don’t get lost in that.” Scott has always loved chocolate, but began experimenting with the science of it five years ago. “It was a cold winter so I didn’t want to go anywhere. I decided, if I can’t buy good chocolate, I’ll make it.” Scott quickly mastered the time-consuming process of tempering – basically heating up the chocolate to a certain temperature then cooling it by adding cold chocolate and stirring. She also realized fire is reserved for the summer months. “Chocolate is very temperature-driven, so I have to keep my kitchen at roughly 60 degrees, which can be hard in the winter with a wood stove. Even just two degrees too warm and I have to stop for hours.” And what might seem like a double life to most people is what tempers Scott’s own mental and emotional balance. “It gives me six months a year that I can dedicate to working on chocolate. It becomes my way to disconnect from fire because fire can get overwhelming.” After doing some initial partnership events with the South Fork Baking Company in Etna, it wasn’t long before Scott had several custom orders for baby showers, weddings and the holidays. As a one-woman operation, Scott’s hands are full in the winter. “During the holidays, I make as much as I physically can,” Scott says. “Almond and peppermint are popular. I do a Bordeaux, which is a brown sugar chocolate inspired by See’s Candy. I’ve also started making my own extracts and fusing them with local flavors, like blackberries from the Salmon River. Of course, you can custom order your flavors, too. And yes, I do taste all of my products. I have a problem,” Scott says with a smile. In giving a service, Scott also provides a service. With every chocolate sale, she donates 10 percent of her profits to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to fallen firefighters’ families and to firefighters injured in the line of duty. “I wanted to incorporate my love for fire with my love 4 continued on page 62

for chocolate. And I wanted to give back, and this way I can give more back than I’d be able to on my own.” For Scott, the decision was personal. “I have a passion for it because over the last 13 years I’ve lost some friends, and a lot of friends have been hurt. To know there’s someone out there that cares means a lot more to us than I think they’ve realized.” Scott sources her ingredient chocolate from high-end distributors, but eventually wants to make her own, becoming fully “bean to bar.” For now, she’s content creating seasonal surprises. “This winter I’m working on my own kind of scotch mallow. It’s a layer of homemade caramel and marshmallow dipped in chocolate. There are also going to be probably five or six flavors of candy bars that will come out, and I’m going to introduce a really dark chocolate because I don’t have anything in my lineup that’s above 60 percent, so that will be for those really bitter dark chocolate lovers.” With fire season looming on the horizon, Scott plays by ear when she stops her operation in the spring, then typically reopens again in late September or October. But until she’s fighting external fires, she’s happy feeding her internal flame. “I made a promise to myself that I’ll quit when I stop enjoying what I’m doing. So far, I don’t see that happening.”• Marble Mountain Chocolates (714) 745-1928 Find them on Facebook and Instagram Megan Peterson is a Chico native who lives in Etna.

Many Enjoy readers love to go antiquing. As we approach the holidays, have you ever considered a special antiquing trip for the purpose of holiday giving?
TREASURES FROM PARADISE
There are often people in our lives who are a little hard to buy for, especially at this time of year. Antiques can be unique and thoughtful gifts for the hard-to-shop-for person. Here are a couple tips to get your antique shopping started. First, ask a few strategic questions about things that your gift recipient enjoyed as a child. With information in hand, use our Antique Guide to plan a trip for you and your friends, perhaps even an overnighter, to collect gifts that are sure to be nostalgic and even sentimental. Since antique dealers are often in one another’s stores, they are often privy to what each store carries. They are more than happy to help guide you in the right direction to help make your shopping trip even more productive.

[comfort giver] S O OT H E Z E T H E RA PY P R O D U C T S I N R E D B LU F F IN EVERY HOUSE, at least one person has a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. There’s just something about it that brings comfort and security. They keep going back to that one special item, regardless of condition over time. Mike Nichols of Red Bluff ’s Sootheze Therapy Products has been studying the art and science behind these favored items and has elevated them to a therapeutic level for individuals on the autism spectrum and anyone needing the grounding effect of a weighted blanket or specially designed plush animal. His items, often used by play therapists and designed with their needs in mind, have three core components that set them apart:
they’re weighted for a grounding and calming effect; they’re filled with a proprietary blend of calming herbs for the impact of aromatherapy; and they can be heated or chilled for additional comfort. And they’re soft – the kind of soft you don’t want to let go. One could say Nichols could have used a Sootheze product himself when he was first offered the opportunity to take over the business developed by Harry Nizamian, known as “The Father of Garfield” for bringing the first plush Garfield toy to market. “It just so happened I was sitting on the porch with my mother,” he says. “I was struggling because both my parents were sick and I was trying to be a general4 continued on page 68 DECEMBER NOVEMBER2019 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.com www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“I knew it right there that it was something,” he says. “A: It mattered but it was also something people wanted. B: It was effective.”
contractor and be a caregiver.” Nichols had known Nizamian for decades, and though he says, “It wasn’t exactly what I expected. It was very small,” he quickly came to see the power and potential of the company. “I went to a play therapy conference in Atlanta and did a little research on what play therapists would like,” he says. The products he took sold out in a day and a half. “I knew right there that it was something. A: It mattered, but it was also something people wanted. B: It was effective.” Nichols rolled up his sleeves and went to work building the business. “Everything we do is 100 percent custom here in Red Bluff,” he says. His late mother was his first seamstress. She taught Nichols to sew as well, and he says, “for two years I was the primary sewer.” That time together was invaluable. “My mom and I were best friends throughout my whole life,” he adds. “I’m a total momma’s boy.”

Still, “as business started getting a little better, mom’s health started getting worse,” he says. Success then depended on Nichols, his wife Tashia and a bevy of friends and family who would come to help. “We’d basically supply beer, wine and pizza,” Nichols says of the early days getting Sootheze off the ground. Local retail stores Dandy Lion’s and St. Elizabeth Hospital Gift Shop sell his products, and local designer Heather Vine has helped him get his online store up and running. Today, the lineup of Sootheze Therapy Products includes weighted blankets, lap pads and a growing list of plush characters, including Pepper the Pug designed as a collar that’s weighted around the neck. There are squeezable bunnies, raccoons, bears and dogs, and blankets attractive to both children and adults. A lap pad is especially helpful to children. “It’s grounding, it’s calming,” says Nichols. “It’s like a deep pressure therapy.”4 continued on page 70

“The first time you hand it to someone, between the weight, and the softness and the aroma...”
The chance Nichols took on Sootheze is now beginning to pay off. “In those last few months of 2017 we did better than we did all of 2016 and we decided we could make this work,” he says. Just as important, he was afforded the opportunity to care for both his parents through their life transitions. Now, he can take pride in the good his products bring to the world in the way they calm and nurture those who cuddle up with them. “The first time you hand it to someone, between the weight, and the softness and the aroma...” While he may get caught up finishing the sentence, it’s clear he’s glad he took the phone call that fateful day on the porch to build a company he never could have imagined. • Sootheze Therapy Products www.sootheze.com

STORY AND PHOTOS BY: KIMBERLY BONEY
SHOE SHINE YO U R 2 0 2 0 S H O E R E V I E W
THE RIGHT SHOE can change your life. Ask Cinderella or Dorothy all about that. Putting together an exciting ensemble is a head-to-toe process. With a new year just a breath away, it’s time to put some thought into upping our shoe game, so we can kick the year off in style. Follow along and let us help you curate a 2020 shoe collection that would make Imelda Marcos nod her head in approval. THE SLOUCHED BOOT Characterized by its simultaneous elegance and functionality, the knee-high slouched boot has the cool factor down pat. It’s one of those style elements that has stood the test of time. Looking at a photo of the look gracing the runway, it may be hard to tell if it’s a hold-over from the ‘70s or something born of 2019. But that alone is indicative of the style’s classic, enduring nature. Pair them with your favorite long-sleeved knee length dress as a hip nod to the revived popularity of the ‘70s style. Pull them over your favorite skinny jeans and leggings for a casual look with mile-high style. If you are looking for something to invest in – something that will carry you through many a fall and winter – consider a pair in leather. If the knee-high length gives you pause, consider a shorter-heeled boot with the same slouch.
THE SNEAKER Sure, they’ll say that the popularity of the sneaker is starting to wane, but with kicks this fly – and comfortable, to boot – we beg to differ. Among our favorites are trainers and those that pay homage to the hip-hop culture of the late ‘70s and ‘80s. Bold or neutral, these are shoes to live in. Pair them with your favorite athletic wear, but recognize their ability to work with dresses and denim just the same. The trick is to enjoy the effortless nature of the sneakers by pairing them with a look that doesn’t feel compelled to try too hard. Jeans, a t-shirt with a half-tuck in the front and a cropped moto is the perfect uniform for a day in the city with the family or meeting your girlfriends for lunch and a latte. Don’t create an unnecessary distraction by pairing these babies with cotton tube socks – they’ll work best with a noshow pair. Those sneakers are more than worthy of center stage.
THE PLATFORM Flower children of the world, unite! The platform is back. Their best feature is the way they gift us with incredible height with virtually none of the strain. There has never been a better time to rock those four inches. While the style with the built-in height is showing up in a myriad of shoe types, our favorite might just be the t-strap with the peep toes. They look amazing with opaque tights underneath, particularly when paired with a floral dress and trench coat. If you are feeling particularly runway-ready, don them with sweet, folded socks with a lace trim. If the mega-height of a platform feels daunting, fear not. Any platform, no matter how short, is on the list of this season’s hottest shoes.
THE MULE This season, a backless shoe makes its return to the hearts and closets of shoe connoisseurs everywhere. Whether they’re built with a stacked heel or no heel at all, closed toe or open, the mule has an endearing way of upping your cool game. Pair your favorite distressed denim with a button front shirt with mules in any height for a chic style that can carry you just about anywhere. If you are wearing a dress of any kind, a heeled version is likely to carry off the look best. If the pointed versions feel a bit much for your ensemble, consider a pair with a loafer-like concept with a rounded front. They will create a more relaxed look but won’t cut corners on style.4 continued on page 74
…THE WAY THEY GIFT US WITH INCREDIBLE HEIGHT WITH VIRTUALLY NONE OF THE STRAIN.
DECEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.com

THE CHUNKED HEEL We can’t imagine a time when a classic stiletto won’t have its place on the fashion A-list, but we can say that the chunked heel is vying for Number One in 2020. This bold, yet timeless look adds sturdiness and edge to your ensemble by way of boots, pumps or mules. Rock a boot with a chunked heel and a pronounced tread along with your military style jacket. Consider a sleeker version – perhaps one in a Mary Jane or t-strap style – for pairing with your favorite dress. You don’t have to wear this style in a four-inch height. Opt for a shorter heel without losing one inch of clout.
WE CAN SAY THAT THE CHUNKED HEEL IS VYING FOR NUMBER ONE IN 2020
THE ANKLE STRAP Whether you choose a classic ankle strap, a t-strap or a cross strap, we are fond of anything that draws attention to the upper regions of a shoe. Elegant, sexy and with added sturdiness, a sassy ankle strap can take an outfit from ho-hum to OMG instantly. Pair these babies with just about anything, but because ankle straps are your legs’ very best friend, it’s a great idea to let them come out to play together. If heels aren’t your thing, you’re in luck. Ankle straps, t-straps and cross straps are just as stylish in a flat version.
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS: Shoe-lery: Jewelry isn’t just for your body anymore. Look for chained, beaded and altogether blinged-out elements on your favorite shoes this season. Animal Prints: All of the animals are in this season. Pair them with your favorite pieces and call yourself Queen of the Jungle. Florals: We never tire of blooms. Go bold with large flowers or opt for smaller posies for an air of subtlety. Fluff: You may feel like you’re wearing your bedroom slippers, but isn’t that half the fun and all the comfort of it? Vibrant Colors: Bold color is the way, even in the dead of winter. Toss the notion that intense color is to be reserved only for summer and spring right out the window. Bowing down to old-fashioned rules is so passé. •

A VISIT TO SHASTA ABBEY on a Sunday morning is an adventure in time travel, one that takes you back to the original teachings of a religion that began in India 500 years before the birth of Christ. As the services begin, Buddhist monks in black and brown robes form a semi-circle near the center of their inner temple. In soft Gregorian chants, they praise their founder and the principles of their religion. Above, high on an altar, a gilded statue of the Buddha looks down in golden benevolence on the proceedings. As the ceremony continues, large crimson goblets containing tea or sweet water, cakes or cookies are held high in the air as offerings to the Buddha. Two dozen monks live on this sprawling 17-acre retreat along Interstate 5 . Shasta Abbey was founded in 1970 by Reverend Master Jiyu-Kennett, born Peggy Kennett in a small seacoast town in England. She was, from a very young age, a spiritual seeker. Her spiritual quest led her to Buddhist centers of learning in Malaysia, then to Japan and finally the United States. Along the way she founded numerous Buddhist temples and was a pioneer in carving

out an expanded role for women in the Buddhist religion. She passed on in 1996. One of her disciples, Reverend Master Meian, also a native of England, now runs the abbey. The abbey is situated about midway between Mount Shasta and Weed. It contains a worship hall, meditation rooms, a kitchen and dining commons and living quarters for monks and visitors. Its grounds are adorned with statues of the Buddha and other notable deities. The monks lead a quiet and peaceful, but far from cloistered, life. The abbey encourages visits, some of them stretching long retreats, by those who want to deepen their faith or simply learn more about Buddhism. The Buddhist religion is in some ways very simple. While other religions may give a lot of attention to an afterlife, Buddhists tend to be grounded in the here and now, seeking peace and serenity by immersing themselves in everyday tasks. Becoming a Buddhist monk involves years of study and training and a willingness to sacrifice that goes beyond the requirements of other religions. Monks live a simple life in the abbey, with few personal possessions, and agree to give up alcohol and tobacco and lead a celibate life.4 continued on page 78

“One moment can change a day, one day can change a life and one life can change the world.” -BUDDHA
William Hollenbeck, now 63, was in his younger days a book dealer in Huntsville, Ala. Thirty-five years ago he began the rigorous training required of an ordained Buddhist monk. Now, as Reverend Oswin of Shasta Abbey, he helps keep the abbey running while enjoying the peaceful, contemplative life it provides. As a practicing Buddhist, he likes to say that he “finds the universe in the wood I’m stacking.” There is a world of thought in that simple statement, but also the kernel of a simple idea: Everything in the universe is linked together; by focusing on the immediate and seemingly mundane, Buddhists find a way to connect to the whole. Followers of other religions would find many similarities between their own beliefs and those of the Buddhist religion: Among them, getting away from a focus on oneself and toward more compassion and kindness toward others. “We’re not the only game in town,” as Reverend Oswin likes to put it.

ANY TRIP TO Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Australian Outback is sure to elicit contemplation, wonder and awe. For Ken and Bobbi Hunter of Santa Ynez, it also spurred inspiration for their property in Paso Robles. It so happened that their adventure trip to Uluru coincided with a mesmerizing and enormous outdoor light exhibit by British artist Bruce Munro. The experience was so profound, they contacted Munro to create something similar for their property, now known as Sensorio. More than a decade ago, the Hunters purchased the 380 acres of land across the street from their business, Hunter Ranch Golf Course in Paso Robles. “Ken knew he wanted to create something that would give back to the community, that would be a legacy project,” says Tracy Strann. A consulting company was hired to dream big for the property, to “rival and exceed anyone’s expectations,” she adds. “They came up with this huge project, and it took years.” The Bruce Munro Field of Light at Sensorio quickly eclipsed all previous plans to become the first of several phases at Sensorio. It opened on May 19 of this year and is Munro’s largest international and only solar-powered U.S. project to date.
“People are hungry for personal experience, and that’s what this is,” says Strann, executive director of Sensorio. The experience of the Field of Light is a half-mile circular walk through a canyon lit by 58,800 optic solar lights that morph color. “Just naturally, there is a hush that happens. People really get in contact with their own emotions, their own inspiration. Everybody has a personal experience with it. It’s a little like going to Oz.” Since its opening, roughly 3,000 visitors have wound their way through the Field of Light each week, with opening hours varying monthly based upon the time of sundown. “They all go in separately and they come out with each other, talking, laughing. People come out with tears in their eyes. It’s very fulfilling,” says Strann. “Experiential art is kind of the future. People are looking for connection.” Strann herself was recruited out of New York for her position, after wide and varied experiences in the arts, including helping to open and run the Grammy Museum and Saratoga Performing Arts Center. “It’s a once-in-alifetime opportunity to be a part of something completely new,” she says. When she arrived in Paso Robles, the land was just starting to be graded and installation of utilities had only just begun. “There was literally nothing,” she says with a laugh. “In seven months, we opened.”4 continued on page 84
DECEMBER 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.com
83
The Field of Light itself took six weeks to complete with 1523 staff and volunteers working eight hours a day, five days a week. Munro himself oversaw all of the work and brought four staff members with him. Sensorio hired another four, and 300 volunteers chipped in. The Field of Light experience can be as simple as a stroll or as elegant as a VIP experience that includes a four-course gourmet picnic dinner catered by Trumpet Vine Catering with two drinks at a raised terrace offering a tremendous view of the lights. Guests wanting a more casual experience can visit a Mexican food truck on the grounds and buy local beer. Live music plays every night. While it can be a romantic experience for couples – “all of a sudden there was a pop-up wedding in the middle of the lights,” says Strann – it’s a place for everyone. “We do family nights when all kids are half price,” she adds. The Field of Lights has also attracted Bruce Munro fans from as far as Australia and New Zealand. “It’s a combination of every kind of human being you can imagine,” says Strann. “It appeals to everyone.” Closer to home, The Garden of Lights is expecting a November 2020 debut at Turtle Bay Exploration Park’s McConnell Arboretum. The 10-acre arboretum will be decked out in architecturally designed light displays, creating a holiday fantasyland for two months. Pitched by
the Redding Chamber of Commerce during the Redding City Identity Project, the Garden of Lights will offer a “wow” factor sure to brighten faces during festive times of dreary weather. “Experiential art is kind of the future,” says Strann. “People are looking for connection.” They’re finding it in Paso Robles at the Field of Light. Soon North State residents won’t have to travel so far for their own opportunity. With the Sundial Bridge as the gateway to the Garden of Lights, the local experience is poised to rival that of any other light display in the country. • Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio 4380 Highway 46 East, Paso Robles www.SensorioPaso.com Garden of Lights at McConnell Arboretum Opening November 2020

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Crush candy canes in a small food processor or put them in a zip-top bag and roll over with a rolling pin until crushed. Set aside. STEP 2: Add semi-sweet chocolate pieces in a microwavesafe bowl with 1 tsp. of coconut oil. Microwave chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely melted. Once melted, pour chocolate onto prepared baking sheet and gently smooth with rubber spatula into a rectangular shape. Once smooth, set aside six of the Oreo Thins cookies and gently press the rest into the smooth semi-sweet chocolate layer. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to partially set the chocolate (about 10-12 minutes). Make sure the chocolate is only partially set, or the bark layers could end up separating.
STEP 3: Melt white chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tsp. of coconut oil, repeating the method used in Step 1. Once the white chocolate is completely melted, stir in the peppermint extract. Add the melted white chocolate over the top of the partially set chocolate layer and gently smooth with a rubber spatula. STEP 4: Crush the remaining six cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the white chocolate layer before it sets, along with the crushed candy cane pieces. Gently press the Oreo and candy cane pieces into the white chocolate. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator until the bark is fully hardened. Once hardened, cut into 24 square pieces with a sharp knife. Oreo Peppermint Bark will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

WHAT’S GOING ON IN DOWNTOWN REDDING? ‘Tis the season for a Christmas tree and parade! Before the Redding Christmas tree moved to the California Street parking garage, where it has stood for the past 40 or so years, it formerly stood at the crossing of Market and Yuba Streets. With the parking garage construction underway, downtown’s iconic Christmas tree needed a new home. With help from Viva Downtown, the McConnell Foundation, Shasta Regional Community Foundation, Redding Chamber of Commerce and Midtown Mall Benefit Corp., that home has been found, or rather rediscovered. After some discussion, it was decided that the tree will return to where it stood 40 years ago, and if all goes as planned the annual WinterFest Tree Lighting celebration will take place on December 6 at the Downtown Redding, 1933 | Photo by Chester Mullen new location. Apart from the changes, the Redding Lighted Christmas Parade remains Courtesy of Shasta Histoical Society unaltered and will be held on the first Saturday of December as it always is. The parade is put on by the Active 20-30 Club, and more than 100 entries from local businesses, organizations, small groups and individuals compete in it each year. This year’s 2019 Lighted Christmas Parade is themed “Hometown Holiday”, and what a fantastic hometown we live in! Head on down this December to join the holiday festivities and fun in downtown Redding. Make sure to visit www.cityofredding.org/downtown to find out where to park during the downtown transformation.

THE PATH TO BECOMING A COLLEGIATE ATHLETE– RIGOROUS BUT REWARDING! From full football stadiums on fall Friday nights to parents braving cold winter temperatures to watch their kids play soccer, our community loves athletics. Each year, more and more high school student athletes set their eyes on the dream of competing in collegiate athletics. This dream requires athletes to refine their skills, improve their strength and conditioning, and maintain an extraordinary level of commitment to the process. In addition to the physical preparation, athletes must also perform well academically to qualify to compete at the college level. College athletics is divided up into categories including NCAA Division 1, NCAA Division 2, NCAA Division 3, the NAIA and community college (such as the California Community College Athletic Association). Each have specific academic standards athletes must meet to be eligible to compete. These requirements are sometimes beyond the standard A-G requirements, the minimum coursework required for admission to a California State University or University of California. Competitive athletes and their parents should meet with their school counselor to ensure they are enrolling in the correct classes, signed up for college admissions tests, and registered with the appropriate governing body (NCAA or NAIA). Parents, students and coaches should learn the academic requirements for each NCAA division.
Information pertinent to NCAA athletic eligibility is at bit.ly/NCAASTUDENTELIGIBILITYGUIDE, and NAIA academic eligibility information may be accessed at bit.ly/NAIASTUDENTELIGIBILITY. California community college information can be found at www.cccaasports.org. Helping student athletes achieve their academic and athletic goals is a team effort. The student must possess the intrinsic motivation to compete and train beyond the norm. Coaches are a valuable resource to provide honest and productive feedback for the athlete in terms of training and skill development. In addition, parents and athletes should communicate as soon as possible to the coaching staff their desire to pursue collegelevel athletics. Parents will need to support their child through transportation, encouragement and financially in the case of travel play. Finally, the school counselor will guide the family on the necessary academic requirements, including coursework and college admissions testing (SAT and ACT). As with other areas of specialized skills, such as music or theater, achieving a position on a college athletic team is difficult. However, with careful planning and focused training, many of our local athletes can continue to shine on the field, court or in the pool.
