MEDICAL MINDSET Dr. Amanda Mooneyham (above and below), Bishop Quinn High School, Palo Cedro

With the goal of training medical students and keeping them as local providers, Shasta Community Health Center joined the COMPADRE program.

COMPADRE stands for California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education and Health, and was created through a partnership between Oregon Health & Science University and UC Davis. The American Medical Association funds the program to address medical provider shortages in communities between Sacramento and Portland.

Over the next few years, this program will place hundreds of medical students and residents in training programs throughout Northern California and Oregon. SCHC is working to identify local students who are interested in entering the medical field and want to return to practice in their community.

Through SCHC’s Family Medicine Residency Training program, medical students will be able to complete some of their training with the Family Medicine programs at both SCHC and Mercy Medical Center. It’s hoped that the students will become rooted in the community and will become local healthcare providers.

editor’s note AUGUST 2020

UNDER THE STARS – On the clearest of nights, after the sun sinks behind the mountains and the sky fades to black, you may feel like you’re staring straight up into heaven as you relax under a blanket of stars.

The night sky is full of magic, and the Mt. Shasta Star Gazers Club is eager to give you a tour. This crew is a mix of casual enthusiasts, amateur astronomers, educators and astrophysicists who are ready to show new friends how to make the best use of their telescopes. Star parties are open to anyone and are usually at Castle Lake – a highelevation spot that’s closer to the night sky.

Astrophotographers’ focus on the stars is quite literal, achieved through the lens of a manually adjustable camera. Long exposures, trial and error and plenty of patience can lead to exquisite frameable starscapes once you learn the tricks of the trade.

And if you’re camping (or glamping) under those beautiful stars, you can still look your best – our beauty expert shares some pointers on looking picture-perfect even when you’re away from your creature comforts (and makeup mirror).

Tonight when the sun goes down, step outside and take some time to absorb the wonder of the night sky. And if you happen to see a falling star, be sure to make a wish! Enjoy!

my town:

beautiful landscape, caring people DEE DONNELSON TRINITY COUNTY

Owner, New York Saloon To understand how I feel about Trinity County you would have to get a bit of drama background. I had always felt from a young age that I was born under a rock. That feeling stayed with me until life brought me to Trinity County. It was like coming home.

It’s not just the landscape, which is so beautiful, although it is changing again drastically as it did in the gold mining era. It is the people.

When I came here, there was a whole different mindset that I had never experienced. That feeling you get of security, love and camaraderie all rolled into one. It’s the kindness, understanding and the feeling that when the chips are down, all bad feelings are set aside, the good comes out and we band together. It is an underlying way of life in Trinity County. It is our way. I see so many people come up here who feel it, are mesmerized by the beauty and want to have some of that feeling, but just never get it.

It is not easy living in a county that is larger than L.A. County, but has 12,500 people, give or take.

You must be prepared, innovative and tough, and hope you don’t get caught with your pants down when that unexpected storm, fire or virus hits.

We are like our beautiful landscape – sparse in some areas, tall and strong in other areas. Love and kindness go a long way with us, but if you catch us in a fire, we just grow back with the next rain and snowstorm the following winter.

shoot for the

stars A S T R O P H OTO G R A P H E R S C A P T U R E T H E N I G H T S KY GAZING UP at all those stars in a clear night’s sky brings different shades of enjoyment to different people.

Some embrace the mystery without question, yielding to the unimaginable immensity of the cosmos and, in reflection, their own miniscule role in it. Others strive to understand it all, delving into reams of scientific literature for the newest answers to ancient queries, which they may be eager to share.

Astrophotographers can carry either or both of these traits, but their focus on the stars is literal, achieved through the lens of a manually adjustable camera. And while their motivation may be rooted in awe, their quest for knowledge needed to increase the odds of capturing a sharp image, what sets them apart is their willingness to spend the money and the time required to do nothing less than bring home the sky.

Redding photographer Josh Meier knows what it’s like to spend long hours outdoors at night, his camera mounted on a tripod to allow for the long exposures necessary for shooting in the dark. “At home I’ll use a star tracker. That’s a motorized tripod head that moves with the stars,” he says. “Without it, the stars will make streaks.”

The founder of Josh Meier Photography, he exhibits and sells prints of starscapes, usually framed with some scenic foreground, sometimes contributed to this magazine. “I started about five years ago shooting landscapes,” he recalls. “My favorites were sunsets and mountains. I loved it.”

He sees astrophotography as a logical extension to landscapes, first shooting a night sky during a family camping trip a few years ago. “I took a couple that were like, ‘wow!’ I was really into it from that point.” 4

Once bitten by the starry shutterbug, Meier set out to learn all he could. “I was on YouTube for hours and hours watching Milky Way Mike,” he says with a laugh. “I learned how to work with two-minute exposures. I learned how to use my cell phone to add light to the foreground.”

Eventually, he taught himself. “It was near the 4th of July. I was shooting a beach scene,” he says. “The foreground was just sand, so I added a little something.” He pulled a slow-burning wick off a firecracker, lit just the wick, and tossed it on the beach framed in his viewfinder.

“The wind moved it around during a long exposure,” he explains. “It made a fire effect in the foreground. I posted it on my Facebook page, and people were asking, ‘How did you do that?’ That was like wow, I might actually be able to teach someone else something.”

Ryan Thompson, another Redding photographer, was also visited by the idea of teaching astrophotography when he was contacted by a guide service company owner offering a collaboration. Teaming with Marcus Duvoisin, founder of Ooowee Adventures, Thompson led his first class of about a dozen students on an early summer night hike high up the trail on Castle Crags.

“We called it the Sunset Photography Wine Hike,” says Thompson. “We stopped for wine and snacks along the way, and I gave lessons, so when we got to the top, everyone would know what to do.” He says they arrived

at the top at 9:30 pm, shot for an hour and returned to the parking lot a little after midnight.

Thompson says there will be more astrophotography classes on Castle Crags in the future, perhaps even one overnight. Classes are donation based, with no one turned away for lack of funds.

As did Meier, Thompson learned to love the stars through his outdoors-loving parents. “Astro was my favorite avenue for photography,” he says. “The camera can pull out all kinds of detail not visible to the naked eye, all those colors – it’s beautiful.”

It’s the detail visible to the naked eye that first interests Greg Williams, president of the Shasta Astronomy Club.

And he can tell you in great detail from whence that detail comes.

“When you see a star, you are seeing light that has been traveling for millions of years,” he says. “It hasn’t stopped its journey until it hits your eye. That photon of light, born in that star, is absorbed if it hits anything in space.

That it doesn’t, to me, is a miracle.”

When Williams isn’t promoting his astronomy club, he’s educating folks on the local wildfire ecosystem on behalf of the Fire Interpretive Department of the National Park Service. When he’s not doing that, he’s a public speaker at Schreder Planetarium. One thing he doesn’t do, though, is astrophotography.4

“Oh, I dabbled in it, strapped a camera onto a telescope with a clock drive,” he says. “With a 20-second exposure, you can get some fantastic shots – even with a cell phone. But you can’t do that kind of photography on the fly.”

So when the club hosts its monthly star parties, they emphasize telescopes over cameras. “Our primary purpose is social. We gather with friends for optical observing. And we do invite the public,” Williams says, then adds, “Come on out and learn something. I can talk about stars for hours.”

However, the club president does honor those who like to aim their cameras at the night sky. “I know they are able to collect more photons than we can see,” he says. “I can show them the stars. I can talk about the physics of astronomy. But they can show me the physical universe.”•

EXPERIENCE

www.EnjoyMagazine.com AUGUST 2020

DURING THE SUMMER, it gets pretty hot in these parts and sometimes even the rivers and lakes don’t offer the necessary relief from the heat… during the day, that is. But a nighttime paddle adventure can be an amazingly cool experience, literally.

Getting on the water in a kayak or packraft at night needs to be done safely, and is not recommended if you don’t have any real paddling experience. Navigating unfamiliar waterways with changing currents, in the dark, is a dangerous proposition. But it’s also a thrilling one. Who needs Space Mountain when you have the Sacramento River at night?

If you know what you’re doing, all you need is a good portable nightlight, great knowledge of the area you are going to be paddling in, and a life vest with a whistle.

Paddling a familiar route is highly recommended, and don’t forget to let friends or family know where you’re going.

The lighting makes the area around the Sundial Bridge a great place to get your feet wet during a nighttime paddle. The colorful lights of the bridge illuminate the water quite well and the bridge is a beacon to help you keep your bearings. The coolness of the air and water, combined with the stillness of the bridge at night, make for a magical experience.

If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, paddle the Sacramento River from the Sundial Bridge to Anderson at night. Plenty of landmarks light up along the way so you can keep track of where you are, like the Cypress Bridge, the Bonnyview overpass and Interstate 5, which will be on your left until you go under it, and then exit the river at Anderson River Park. The flow of the Sacramento River will help you along nicely, and provide you with a cool breeze along the way.

If you want something a tad more majestic, Manzanita Lake at Lassen Volcanic National Park is truly a gorgeous body of water to paddle and float on at night. It doesn’t have the current that the Sacramento River has, which makes it more relaxing, and with the moon and the stars illuminating Lassen Peak and the surrounding forest, this makes for a magnificent adventure where you’ll feel millions of miles away from the hustle of the real world. When you’re done, you can spend the rest of the night under the stars at the campground.

If you’re feeling untamed and want a multi-night paddling adventure, Trinity Lake is big enough that you can paddle from the Trinity Lake Resort and Marina on the south side of the lake, up to the KOA campground at the north side of the lake, on the first night – and then do a return trip the second night. There is plenty to explore in and around beautiful Trinity Lake and the stillness of the water combined with the nighttime sounds of the wildlife in the forest will make for a magical experience. •

FRIENDSHIP

that´s out of this world

F R I E N D S O F S C H R E D E R P L A N E TA R I U M SOMETIMES, a good friend comes along at just the right moment to remind us of our sense of worth. For the Schreder Planetarium, a North State institution that has inspired the community for more than 40 years, the power of friendship is just what it took to help sharpen the blurred image.

The Planetarium, which opened in 1979, was named for Jack Schreder, the Shasta County superintendent of schools who was instrumental in obtaining funding for the project during his tenure. In 2015, the planetarium was on the verge of closure due to low attendance and subsequent lack of financial viability. The Shasta County Office of Education had been reviewing its mission – to serve schools – and the mounting belief was that the money being used to support the planetarium might be better spent differently.

But some community members knew what it meant to have the Schreder Planetarium in the community and decided to hone their efforts to keep it open. It was, after all, the only planetarium of its size in the North State between San Francisco and Eugene, Ore.

Kristen Schreder, wife of Jack Schreder, was one of those community members. As a frequent volunteer at the planetarium, she often asks audience members at shows how many of them had come to the planetarium as children. “About a third of them raise their hands,” she says. “I remember an occasion in which a grandmother, a daughter and a granddaughter – three generations – had visited the planetarium.”

Schreder used her background in fundraising and grant writing to form the non-profit Friends of Schreder Planetarium in 2017 with the help of volunteers and Nathan Fairchild, director of science with the Shasta County Office of Education.

Fairchild, whose background includes experience as a middleschool science teacher and a park ranger, became director of Schreder Planetarium just as the board was edging closer to making the decision to close it. He became instrumental in the process of changing its fate.

The facility’s projector was 16 years old, outdated and sometimes failed to work properly. A new projector would cost $400,000, but research and perseverance led Fairchild to a projector that could be installed for $266,000 from a company called Spitz Scidome. 4

Unfortunately, Friends of Schreder Planetarium began sending out fundraising letters just two days before the Carr Fire. Knowing the support needed to go to the community during such a crucial time, they suspended fundraising efforts until December 2018. In January 2019, the Friends asked the school board to help raise half of the funds needed to update the planetarium, a goal it met with the fervent support of current Superintendent of Schools Judy Flores.

The Friends earned a $50,000 grant from the McConnell Fund of the Shasta Regional Community Foundation. Spitz Scidome honored a year-old quote for the projector, so long as it was purchased by July 30, 2019. This deadline was the inspiration the community needed to chip in the remaining funding.

Fairchild used social media to garner community support for the shows, increasing participation from one show per month with 20 to 40 attendees to two shows per month, selling out a 63-seat venue 94 percent of the time. These efforts also increased the volume of field trips from area schools. Fairchild has tailored lessons for school children that visit the facility. Each class field trip is preceded by a lesson plan to help introduce some of what the students will learn there, and closes with a post-lesson to help reinforce their experience.

“The first time I taught 3rd graders in the planetarium, they had the same reaction to it that I did when I first entered the building. They looked up at the dome and said, ‘wow’. I hadn’t even turned the projector on yet and they were fascinated. It was magical to them and I’ve never forgotten that,” says Fairchild.

What began as a concerted effort between the Friends of Schreder Planetarium and the Shasta County Board of Education became a community-wide effort to sustain a program that had inspired generations of North State learners.

“Just as we had begun to raise money for the new projector, a donation box was placed in the gift shop. About 75 percent of those kids bought an ice cream from the gift shop and put their remaining dollar in the donation box. It kept happening. They were not prompted in any way to do it – but they saw value in what the planetarium had to offer. Knowing those kids cared enough about it was an emotional experience,” says Fairchild.

In December 2019, just in time to honor the Planetarium’s 40th year in service to the “THE FIRST TIME I TAUGHT 3RD GRADERS IN THE community, the new projector was installed.

January, more than 120 people gathered to PLANETARIUM, THEY HAD THE SAME REACTION In celebrate the grand re-opening.

“Even with old, blurry images, people raved TO IT THAT I DID WHEN I FIRST ENTERED THE about it,” says Fairchild. “Imagine what people BUILDING. THEY LOOKED UP AT THE DOME AND are going to experience with the new programs.”

The projector’s quality is “like the difference SAID, ‘WOW’. I HADN’T EVEN TURNED THE between an iPhone and a flip phone,” says “With the new projector in place, PROJECTOR ON YET AND THEY WERE Schreder. the Planetarium hopes to serve 3,000 students FASCINATED. IT WAS MAGICAL TO THEM AND I’VE during the school year and 1,500 adults and children at Friday evening shows.” 4 continued on page 28 NEVER FORGOTTEN THAT,” SAYS FAIRCHILD.

A Calling to help others

I knew that I wanted to work with people and offer some kind of help or service. I studied pre-med at a private college in Michigan for a couple of years, until I moved out to Redding. After living and working in Redding for a few years, a friend told me that she was looking into the dental hygiene program at Shasta College, which piqued my interest. Once I looked over the prerequisites for the program, I realized that I had already completed most of them! I immediately applied to the college online and set up an appointment with a counselor. I was accepted into the program a couple of months after completing my last prerequisite!

Dental hygiene is meticulous, interpersonal, and entirely fulfilling!

Shasta College provides such an excellent program for dental hygiene and at an affordable cost. The instructors were genuine, personable, compassionate, and understanding throughout our training. Feeling overwhelmed? Had a tough case? They get it. The most meaningful moments are when we all stop, listen, and empathize with each other as a team. They push us to be better, and they encourage us when we doubt and question ourselves. I feel very blessed to have chosen Shasta College, and I am confident that I will be leaving as a competent and knowledgeable dental hygienist. After I graduate, I plan on serving here in our local community with the same compassion and excellence my instructors provided to me.

“The Schreder Planetarium reinforces the importance of science education for children.

It is more important than it has ever been before, with climate change and the impact of the world around us. These programs teach space exploration, the stars and the solar system and they are deeply connected to science, technology, engineering and math.

Science helps kids with critical thinking and problem solving. The science education they gain today will be useful for their tomorrow,” says Schreder.

Schreder and Fairchild want the planetarium’s reach to extend beyond the realm of science. They have partnered with North State Symphony to incorporate a program with space-themed music. They have also begun to reach out to local Native American communities to determine how they might be able to incorporate storytelling under the night sky, a concept aimed at teaching history and cultural inclusivity.

“It’s important to recognize all of the different cultures in our community. We can use the planetarium as an educational tool to teach visitors about other cultures,” says Schreder.

“There isn’t an exact plan yet, but we want to be sure that everyone in our community feels represented and is represented,” says Fairchild.

Friends of Schreder Planetarium maintains a focus on fundraising that is two-fold: to continue to support the planetarium with new shows and to help support the cost of admission for school children, some of whose families have been heavily impacted by the financial effects of COVID-19.

ONE STARRY NIGHT

www.EnjoyMagazine.com AUGUST 2020

THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA night sky is one of the best in the country, with plenty of places to view the gateway into space. A smattering of at least a billion sparkling stars dot the dark blanket above, reminding us just how small we are in the universe.

Taking the opportunity to observe the night sky can unlock secrets, history and glimpses into how space could change in the future. There is so much to look at in the purely dark sky, including constellations, nebulas, comets, galaxies, planets and more, that it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That’s why the Mt. Shasta Star Gazers Club formed in 2009, to talk about the stars.

Originally created by Jim Havlice, a Northern California resident who holds a PhD in applied physics from Stanford University and used to own Language Quest in Mount Shasta, the Mt. Shasta Star Gazers Club is now managed by his friend and co-founder Russ Adamson.

“When we formed, our small group had members that had been part of ‘big city’ clubs that were quite formal and members were often in competition with each other. We wanted something a bit smaller and friendly,” Adamson says of the informal group. The Mt. Shasta Star Gazers is a mix of characters that includes casual star enthusiasts, amateur astronomers, educators and professional astrophysicists.

“When we get interested folks, often they are ready to buy a scope and dive right in. The best thing is don’t buy anything. Visit a star party and look though the scopes the club members have. That way you can see what is up in the sky and what level of scope will get you there,” Adamson says.

Adamson says that not much equipment is needed to enjoy the stars – larger telescopes can provide more aperture, allowing the lens to gather more light from the viewed object, thus creating a sharper image, but a larger telescope is not necessary.

“Back in the 1980s, eight-inch telescopes were about as large as the amateur would go. I had a four-inch scope. Back then, when you looked at a globular cluster or nebula, 4

you would see a fuzzy white patch much like a cotton ball.

Today there are a lot of options for scopes and accessories.

Now 12-inch scopes are very common and 16-inch scopes with computer controls or go-to scopes are within the reach of serious amateurs. With these larger scopes, the fuzzy globular clusters or nebulas are now refined, and you can see groups of stars or wisps of gas and dust. What you see in the eyepiece will never be as detailed as pictures on the internet, but it is still very gratifying,” he says.

Star parties are open to anyone (children must be accompanied by an adult), free and usually held up at Castle Lake – a high-elevation spot (to be closer to the night sky) on nights closest to the new moon. Adamson contends that the biggest issue with seeing the stars in a remote place is when someone drives into a viewing location with their headlights on, causing light pollution that greatly diminishes what one can see with the naked eye.

“When that happens, it takes about 20 minutes for you to get your night vision back,” Adamson says. However, in

a completely dark sky, people can see binary stars, nebulas, gamma rays, asteroids and meteor showers, with little or no extra equipment.

“There are very few things you ‘need’ to buy to enjoy the night sky. A red flashlight, a planisphere or a free sky chart app for your phone will help. You will really enjoy yourself if you bring a comfortable chair and binoculars.

But the most important part is getting out to see the dark skies,” Adamson says.• Mt. Shasta Star Gazers Club www.mtshastastargazers.com

PAST

Y R E K A S I G N R E S T O R AT I O N

IN 1891, the first “electric spectacular” was installed in New York City – a 50-foot-high by 80-foot-wide outdoor sign containing 1,457 attention-grabbing lamps. Soon after, night display advertising spread like wildfire, igniting the distinctly American era of illuminated signs. The merchants of Yreka jumped on the bandwagon and purchased a sign from the Federal Electric Company of Chicago. They gave it to the city and installed it in June 1917. At the time, the arched sign cost $300 (the equivalent of about $6,700 today) and displayed Yreka’s name in lights at the corner of Main and Miner Streets.

“Arch signs welcomed visitors, advertised the town and instilled a sense of pride in their community, showing that the city was progressive. Yreka was halfway between Portland and San Francisco and was a stopping place for many travelers. It was only appropriate that Yreka have a

sign,” explains Joan Favero, a longtime Yreka community member who has been involved with the sign’s preservation over the last four decades.

But as two-lane roads gave way to wider highways, arched signs became obsolete. “So many of the signs that were all along old Highway 99 were just taken down and forgotten about or taken to the junk pile because it would have taken quite a bit of restoration to expand over the street with the widening of the highway,” notes Favero.

Yreka’s sign was no exception, getting taken down around 1935 and abandoned in a maintenance yard.4

“The letters, panels and poles have been repainted and the frame powder coated.

It looks great.”

Soroptimist dedication of the sign June 29, 1977

For decades, the sign sat collecting dust until it was rediscovered in the mid-1970s. “Brian Meek and David Simmen first brought it to the Soroptimist club’s attention. That it had remained there for 40 years without anyone taking it to the dump was miraculous. But it was in really bad shape,” Favero says. As a Soroptimist, Favero volunteered to take the lead on a community effort to get it restored in time for the American Bicentennial in 1976.

“We had quite a few people in town who donated their time. Harry Bryan did the main engineering on it. Earl Skinner did the welding. Don Hume gave us the bases, Norman and Rosa Lee Baguley did the painting, Mike Moulder did the electrical and Frank and Jean Rizzo donated the light poles to suspend the sign, which were old Yreka light standards. It took us a long time to restore.

We didn’t make the Bicentennial, but the sign went up the next year on June 29, 1977.”

The new site that was selected is where the sign stands today, greeting visitors from the middle Yreka exit (775) just west of the freeway. There are 30 pieces to the sign, including 10 letters (five on each side), 20 side filigree panels (10 on each side) and 110 lights (55 on each side).

It is made of porcelain enameled steel so it’s not prone to rust, and is what Favero notes is “probably what saved it in the yard.” One of Favero’s favorite details on the sign requires knowing where to look. “If you stand right in the middle of the sign and look up, you can still see the patent for the Federal Electric company on both sides of the E’s.”

Even though these signs were once mass-produced, they are now hard to come by. “There was one I ran across

on the internet. It was a drugstore sign that was done vertically instead of horizontally, and it was very small compared to Yreka’s that was selling for $10,000.

There are very few of them remaining, so I think it’s a real icon for Yreka.”

Last year, the sign had to go through a second restoration, and the Yreka Enrichment Fund Committee received a McConnell Foundation grant through the Shasta Regional Community Foundation for this, in addition to receiving city help. “The reason we restored the second time is because we’d go by and half the lights were out and the electrical was frayed after 40 years in the hot sun. So now it’s all rewired with LEDs, there are new sockets and it’s all sealed with a bird barrier so the birds can’t get in the sign. The letters, panels and poles have been repainted and the frame powder coated. It looks great.”

Just as it did 103 years ago, Yreka’s lasting “electric spectacular” continues to welcome visitors to town while instilling local pride. “I’m a native Californian and I do like history. And I just have a passion for the sign because I’ve been involved in both restorations, so I just always have to go by and look at it. In fact, the other night I went by and one light was out, so I immediately called Ben Miller, who is the maintenance manager for Yreka Public Works and said, ‘we’ve got a light out!’

And it’s fixed now.” When asked what will happen if the sign needs to be restored again in another 40 years, Favero laughs heartily. “Hopefully, no definitely, I won’t be the one who has to worry about it.”• To see the sign, take exit 775 of Interstate 5 and go west. You will immediately find it in the little traffic island where Center Street, W. Center Street and E. Miner Street converge.

Pharmacy E L M O R E P H A R M A C Y, SINCE 1861

THE VINTAGE NEON sign for Elmore Pharmacy that hangs at Walnut and Washington streets in downtown Red Bluff is almost as iconic to the town as any of its signature locations. Bianca Bradshaw, pharmacist and owner since 2014, knows just how important it is and holds tight to its legacy.

“The way I view my ownership of Elmore Pharmacy is that I’m a steward of a piece of Red Bluff history,” she says.

Indeed, the McCloud native inherited an extensive treasure trove of artifacts and antiques when she took over the business that has been in town for more than a century.

“I traced the origins of Elmore’s to a pharmacist back to 1861,” she says of the hours scouring old newspapers researching her shop. Elmore Pharmacy has been in its current location since 1906.

One of the first things Bradshaw did when she took over was clear some shelves to display the artifacts she found throughout the building – everything from antique bottles to a vintage copy of “Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy” to a Delft tile featuring an apothecary.

“After I set up the display, I had a patient who brought in an Elmore label from a bottle found in the wall of her house during a remodel. I went downstairs and found the original prescription for it from 1923,” she marvels. “It was one of those days that really gives you chills as a pharmacist.”

Interactions like these are the joys and rewards of taking her role of steward seriously. The display, she says, “created new chains of relationships that I might not have had.”

It seems fitting, then, that the pharmacy has come into the hands of someone who knew she wanted to be a pharmacist from the age of 5 and did what it took to4

make that dream come true. “Somebody told me I should be a pharmacist so I could have horses,” she says with a laugh. Her five-yearold brain held on to the notion and she went straight to University of the Pacific for pharmacy school upon graduating from McCloud High School in 1998. She doesn’t have horses, but she does sit on the UOP Alumni Board. And she enjoys plenty of benefits from her chosen profession.

“It’s all about the people,” she says. “The staff we have working here are amazing at what they do. They do the job so I can take more time with the customers.” For Bradshaw, preserving the history of Elmore’s is about more than a display of antiques; it’s about listening to customers and serving them holistically. “It wasn’t that long ago that pharmacy wasn’t as high tech as it is today,” she says. “Fortunately, here

I can take time to talk to people.”

Bradshaw is currently in a two-year functional medicine certification program that will allow her to expand to homeopathic and other remedies, such as aromatherapy. “You don’t want to throw a pill at everything,” she says. “I’m looking to build advanced pharmacy practices that have a focus on functional medicine. It’s about the patient. It’s in my best interest to find what they need and help them.”

If a person needs a little retail therapy, Elmore’s also happens to be a beloved gift store, as well. “I had no idea how much fun the gift store would be and how it could fill a need for the community,” Bradshaw says. The store is known for going all out at the holidays and has become popular for its Christmas tree ornaments. “I went on a mission that I would find various crosses to speak to a bunch of people,” she

Routine Childhood Immunizations during COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect communities. By now, you’re likely aware that government and public health officials are recommending that people do their best to stay at home to avoid contracting COVID-19, and you’re probably doing just that.

But it can be confusing to then get a call from your pediatrician’s office reminding you about an upcoming appointment.

Maintaining childhood immunizations during this period is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH).

If you are not sure what to do, call your pediatrician’s office to see how important this particular visit is, and whether there are any immunizations needed.

The Greenville Rancheria has taken the necessary precautions and abides by the CDC guidelines for you, your child and our

safety during this pandemic to be able to provide well child visits, preventative care and immunizations.

Our pediatricians, medical and dental staff are here for you and your child during this COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the lifesaving power of vaccines.

Remember to keep your children’s vaccinations up to date. Please join us in promoting the importance of vaccinations and keeping up with important well-child visits and immunizations, as CDC data shows that fewer children are receiving timely immunizations this year compared to last year. Declines in vaccination coverage can leave young children and communities vulnerable to otherwise preventable diseases like measles.

says. “Now it’s a tradition.” In her second year of shopping for the gift store, she added crosses for firefighters, which became a big hit. “We had had a lot of fires,” she says.

The store continues its decades-old tradition of free gift wrap, with staff challenged to produce impeccable work using only three pieces of tape, a standard set by a now-retired employee. It can intimidate new employees. “It’s not uncommon that I’ll get done with a couple of prescriptions and then run down to wrap presents,” Bradshaw says. It’s all part of that old-fashioned service she wants to carry on.

As for the sign – in late March 2017 it was blown down in a windstorm, leaving the corner empty and residents bereft. “When it came down people asked what they could do,” says Bradshaw. After a little over a year, it was returned to its rightful place. “The sign is not

only back where it belongs, but its refurbished and lights up at night.”

“I went to pharmacy school to be there for people,” says Bradshaw.

At Elmore Pharmacy, she’s found many ways to contribute. “I love the town that I live in that I call home,” she adds. “I love the community.”• Elmore Pharmacy • 401 Walnut Street, Red Bluff (530) 527-4636

MILK & HONEY 1860— S K I N A N D V I N TA G E - S T Y L E FA R M P R O D U C T S

THE CHANGE IN Elizabeth Larson’s ceramic jar wasn’t for a dream vacation or a new car. Yet her family knew it was for something just as important, and they helped her add to it. “My kids kept giving me money for a milk cow,” she says, noting that they also gave her the jar itself with the cow in mind.

When Larson, her husband David, and their children made the leap to country living, having always been town and city dwellers, she was determined to add a milk cow to the menagerie of animals with which they would surround themselves.

“I had no idea that they cost so much,” she says with a laugh.

The grand farm house on 40 acres in Butte Valley that the family determined to make their homestead was anything but grand when they first moved in more than five years ago. “The kids thought it was creepy,” she says. Built in 1860, it had been empty for several years before they moved in and had been a haven for mice, rats and other critters.

It was also surrounded by tall weeds when they first arrived on a July day she describes as “hot as Hades.” Fire danger was real and funds were too low to have professionals clear the area. “We need to get this done, we need to take care of this,” she told David. “So I bought my first Craigslist goat.” The milk cow money jar was emptied for natural weed eaters. “They asked me if I had any other goats and told me it would cry if I didn’t have a second,” she relates of how two goats came home instead of one. “They asked if I could milk a goat,” she says. “I have five kids, I think I can milk a goat.” 4 continued on page 48 AUGUST 2020

Milk that goat she did, not realizing that it would become a source of income as well as the emergency that made her dip into her milk cow fund. “That first Christmas I made goat milk soap for presents,” she says. She researched YouTube videos and books and told people, “If the soap sucks, throw it away.”

But they didn’t throw it away. They came back for more.

“And I realized I had never used soap before in my entire life,” she says. “I’d been using detergent like everyone else.” Turns out, goat milk soap does wonders for skin. She began selling at the farmers market and developing new products, everything from lotion to bar shampoo to a goat milk soap with clay. “We have a hard time keeping them in stock,” she says of the latter. “People just love them, especially as they’re getting off chemical products.”

Out of all this developed Milk & Honey 1860, a line of skin and vintage-style farm products now sold out of the renovated farmhouse once surrounded by weeds. “It was never a business plan,” Larson says. “I didn’t do anything on purpose.” Instead, she describes the product development as a hustle to pay for the expensive undertaking of homesteading and renovation, of maintaining the quality of life her family so desired.

“I used my cow money on goats I didn’t want, which turned out to be such a blessing,” she says. “I guess the deal is that I never wanted to be in business. I’ve just been making it myself. It’s been super organic and very natural. Now we just keep growing and are being very careful to not grow too quickly so we can keep the integrity.”

It helps that Larson seems to have a knack for developing things for herself that other people start to desire. She sat down one day to knit a wool washcloth from wool yarn she sells and put a tutorial on her Facebook page.

“We sold out of our yarn because everyone wanted to make a washcloth during COVID,” she says with a laugh.

It also helps that there are now six children in the family, all of whom have some buy-in.

The oldest – Aidan, Isabella and Sofia – all take meaningful roles in product development, animal husbandry and order fulfillment. The youngest – Amelia, Ethan and Havilah – put stickers on bags, feed chickens and other activities appropriate to 3- to 6-year-olds. All their children are homeschooled.

While wool is gathered on the farm, Larson says, “The sheep are really for the preservation of the species, for keeping the breed growing, the nobility of it.” The rare heritage breeds of Leicester Longwool and Teeswater enjoy their days at Milk & Honey, the latter being part of the rare breed survival trust in the United Kingdom.

Larson has a long-held fascination with vintage lifestyle and children’s literature, much of which informs decisions made on the farm.

“The heritage ducks that we have are the breed that were in Beatrix Potter,” she says.

For Elizabeth and David, Milk & Honey 1860 is the dream fulfillment of two kids who grew up in townhouses in cities and yearned for country life. They are eager to share with others and invite guests on Saturdays to shop and see what they’re all about. “We accidentally started a farm that accidentally turned into a business,” Elizabeth says. • Milk and Honey 1860 3317 Dry Creek Road, Butte Valley Open Saturday, 10am-4pm www.milkhoney1860.com

M A N T O N ’ S M O N A S T E R Y O F S T. J O H N TUCKED AWAY on 42 acres of Ponderosa pine trees in Manton is the Monastery of St. John, a foundation of prayer, work and love for the Eastern Orthodox Christian monks who call it home, and a place of retreat and renewal for those who visit.

Founded in 2006 when the monks outgrew their original home at Point Reyes Station in Marin County, the Manton location was chosen after an extensive search that went beyond California. “We made the decision fairly quickly as soon as it was discovered,” says Hieromonk Innocent, the monastery’s Superior. “We had grown to about eight members at the time. After moving here, even more people came.” Manton offered land that could be developed with a church, and a milder climate for those who fared poorly on the coast.

The bells ring early at the Monastery of St. John, calling the monks to prayer at 5:55am. They move through a schedule of private and group contemplation that includes chanting, reading, singing and work designed to move them closer to God. “We’re finding our salvation,” says Innocent. “What that means is that we know that we are far from God and we realize that something has to change. We need to be transformed.” The spiritual tradition the monks follow was established in the fourth century by St. Pachomius and St. Basil.4

Although the environment may be idyllic, the monastic life has its challenges, and these are embraced as part of the journey. “When we come and live this life and live this program, all the things that are hidden come to the surface. Then there is conflict, there is drama. And we tell God,” says Innocent. “It’s a years-long process of finding out how bad we really are and how much God really loves us.”

Innocent was raised an Evangelical Protestant Christian but converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity at age 29 after a mission trip to Siberia. “I came back and experienced shell shock,” he explains.

“That led me on a path to search for what I really believe. It led me to the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church.”

While the Monastery of St. John is designed to facilitate a monastic life for its members, it also provides opportunities for visitors to experience renewal and retreat through its guest house. “It’s not a hotel,” says Innocent. “Guests are expected to come to services and the common meals. It’s a non-organized personal retreat.” Themed spiritual retreats are also offered a few times a year, and groups have enjoyed volunteer events in the mountain environment.

The monks pay for expenses through an online business selling beeswax candles and honey made onsite, as well as spiritual books found in their bookstore. “We make a lot of candles that are used in Eastern Orthodox churches,” says Innocent. “They are thinner. Most of our candles are used for prayer. Historically, monasteries, especially in Russia, rely heavily on candle-making and bee keeping. The reason we do candles is because we want to have something to keep us busy, to not be idle.”

The monks have been happy to help locals get started in beekeeping, as well. “We have a nucleus package – three or four frames with a queen bee,” he adds. “It connects us to the community. Bees work here because there are flowers. And it’s cold enough here that certain parasites don’t exist.”

For those not interested in keeping their own bees, but desiring honey, it’s available, as well. “People will deliberately come here for local honey. I like it when we can connect with other people that way.”

Although this year’s annual open house was canceled at the monastery due to precautions related to COVID-19, Innocent still believes in the message of the event. “We can show that it’s possible to live in community, to work things out, how to actually stay in one place. To honor the place, to honor the people. To go through the struggle of forgiveness.”

The path to forgiveness is so important that it’s how the monks end their long days of prayer and work. “At the end of the final service, we bow to each other and we say, ‘Please forgive me,’” says Innocent. “It’s the end of the day. You have to have forgiveness at the end of the day.”• Monastery of St. John www.monasteryofstjohn.org 21770 Ponderosa Way, Manton

A HISTORY OF

TRADITION THE WINTU C U LT U R A L M U S E U M I N S H A S TA L A K E THE WINTU Cultural Museum shares the story of the Wintu Tribe through artifacts, photographs and documents. It’s a look at the past, but also a reminder that Wintu people are very much present. “We are still here. We are still Wintu,” notes one display.

“For anyone who comes in, it’s really to show that we have been here for hundreds of years and we’re not extinct. We still carry on,” says Gary Rickard, tribal chairman of the Wintu Tribe of Northern California.

The museum on Shasta Dam Boulevard in the City of Shasta Lake is part of the Wintu Cultural Resource Center. The 6,000-squarefoot facility also includes a conference/ meeting room for the tribal council and its committees, a commercial kitchen and a

spacious community room. It’s a gathering place for events, activities and classes, such as lessons on the Penutian language of the Wintu.

The kitchen is used to prepare meals for a community-wide lunch distribution program.

The center came to be through a collaboration of the tribal government and the City of Shasta Lake. A total of $1.8 million in Community Development Block Grants (grant cycles in 2007 and 2010) and $155,000 in city redevelopment funds were used to purchase and remodel a commercial building.

The museum encompasses 2,510 square feet of the center, with a mission to promote4

understanding of and respect for Wintu history and culture. The Wintu were made up of nine bands and have a history in the region going back at least 1,500 years, Rickard notes.

“We pretty much lived in harmony with nature and the other bands. There was very, very little conflict with other tribes,” he says.

A floor-to-ceiling timeline curves around one side of the museum, offering an overview of Wintu history from 1815 through 2013.

Wintu population was estimated at 14,000 prior to European contact, according to the timeline. The California Gold Rush brought

The museum gift store sells jewelry, artwork and other items made by Wintu artisans.

An important function of the museum is sharing accurate history of the Wintu with young people. Tribal elder Pat Begley leads sessions for students who visit on field trips.

She made a papier-mache model of a village to give students a sense of what life was like.

“We lived in bark houses, we didn’t live in teepees,” she says. “We didn’t have any Walmarts that we could run down to or a Papa Murphy’s to get a pizza. We had to make our own food, our own clothes.”

“ THE Y WERE ABL E TO CONNEC T TO THE LOC AL HISTORY,” HOGUE SAYS . “I THINK IT HELP S FOR THEM TO K NOW WHO WA S HERE BEFORE.”

a surge of new arrivals to Northern California in the mid-1800s. Wintu were displaced, died from starvation and disease and were slain, with killings encouraged by governmentissued bounties. By 1880, the Northern Wintu population was 454, the timeline states.

The timeline includes the Indian Citizens Act giving Indians the right to vote in 1924; eviction of Wintu from ancestral lands to make way for Shasta Dam in the early 1940s; the Toyon occupation in the early 1970s; and the ongoing push for official tribal status.

Displays showcase Wintu cooking baskets and additional artifacts, as well as baby carriers, woven hats, containers and items from other California tribes. Historical photographs and a copy of a treaty signed but never ratified by Congress are among the items exhibited. The tribe is working on repatriating Wintu artifacts held in other collections. “We’ve gone to Chico State, Sac State and several other places to bring some of our stuff home,” Rickard says.

A Native Veterans Wall of Honor in the museum features photographs of tribal members who serve or have served in the military. It’s common for tribes to honor veterans, says Rickard, who was a paratrooper in the Vietnam War. Service is viewed as “representing our homeland,” he says.

She shares history and traditional stories with children. Students try beading and participate in a friendship dance using elderberry-cane clapper sticks.

Cindy Hogue, a tribal councilwoman who teachers eighth-grade English language arts and history in the Happy Valley Elementary School District, took a summer school class of fourth- through eighth-graders to the museum. “It’s a really great program,” she says.

The students enjoyed the hands-on activities and stories. And they were excited to learn Happy Valley is territory of the Daunam Band of the Wintu Tribe, she says. “They were able to connect to the local history,” Hogue says. “I think it helps for them to know who was here before.” • Wintu Cultural Museum 4755 Shasta Dam Blvd., Shasta Lake Open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 11am to 4pm www.wintutribe.org/wintu-culturalresource-center-and-museum

LOW- M A I N T E N A N C E B E A U T Y F O R T H E G R E AT O U T D O O R S AS MANY OF US head off for what might be the last camping (or glamping) trip of the summer, remember that while a full face of makeup and a coiffed ‘do can look ridiculously out of place in the wilderness, a greasy-haired, chapped-lipped version of you can be just as startling when you unintentionally photo bomb every picture of a magnificent waterfall or majestic mountain.

Bringing along a few essential products will help you to look polished without totally ruining your earth-goddess persona.

KEEP MAKEUP MINIMAL. Whether you are tent camping or RV glamping, a few strategic products can help you look put together.

Always start with SPF. If you’re spending time in nature, chances are you’re getting some serious sun exposure. While working on your tan may be one of your summer goals, it’s important to protect skin from harmful UV rays. Look for a tinted moisturizer with SPF to save valuable space in your travel bag. And if you’re hiking or backpacking, be sure to bring your sunscreen with you to reapply.

In the morning, apply moisturizer with SPF and spot check your undereye circles and blemishes with some concealer. Follow with a swipe of mascara – go with waterproof, since inevitably Mother Nature will see you in a tent and decide to make it rain! Finally, some tinted lip balm (again, with SPF added) and you’re all set.4

simplify & enjoy WASH UP EVERY NIGHT. We tend to slather a lot of weird things on our skin while camping – bug spray, sunscreen with SPF 1,000, the occasional glob of melted marshmallow – so it’s crucial to wash your face every night. But while you’re snuggled up around the campfire, the bathroom can seem a million miles away. So bring makeup remover wipes to whisk away dirt and debris quickly without having to find your way through a dark forest. And of course, wipes are essential if there is no sink or bathroom close by. If you happen to be glamping, however, feel free to bring travel-sizes of your favorite skin care line.

Makeup wipes only go so far.

GET GOOD SLEEP. Seriously, campers, sleep is the best weapon in your beauty arsenal. Pack a pair of earplugs and a sleep mask to ensure that the first rays of sunlight or the early bird retirees the next site over don’t yank you from your slumber. In the event you don’t sleep as soundly as you like, eye drops can help clear away any redness that might be related to lack of sleep or allergies and are a quick way to look refreshed.

TAME THAT MANE! There are several options when it comes to hair solutions.

Use a bandana as a headband. Roll it up and tie either at the nape of your neck, or on top of your head, à la Rosie the Riveter. Bandanas soak up sweat while you’re hiking, biking or running from a bear, and they hold back flyaways and frizzies. If your hair is longer, try it with a high, messy bun.

Greasy, slept-on hair that smells like a campfire? A French braid is the cure. Opt for one long one, two in pigtails, or a side braid that tucks into a low pony. If you can’t French braid, go for a regular braid.

Either way, braids are great in that they look like you put in a decent amount of work but are really a cinch to do.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com AUGUST 2020

PACK DRY SHAMPOO. If you happen to be glamping where there are bathrooms and running water, shower and style to your heart’s content. But if you’re going the more primitive route and can withstand a weekend without washing, try dry shampoo. Sprinkle it at your roots, comb it through, style and you’re good to go. If your hair is feeling gunked down from the elements of your camping trip, try an apple cider vinegar rinse to clear dirt and debris from your scalp. In a spray bottle, do a 50/50 mixture of filtered apple cider vinegar and purified water. Spray strands, set for 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Camping and glamping don’t have to wreak havoc on your beauty routine. Simplify your routine and enjoy a little natural beauty – yours and the landscape.• Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching.

AU G U S T 2 0 2 0 R E C I P E Family get-togethers mean games, laughter, storytelling and of course, food. During a trip to Missouri to visit my aunt, she pulled out her trusty recipe box, thumbed through it, and found this recipe she wanted me to “fix that evening for supper.”

There are many versions of taco salads out there, but I’ll always remember this one as the one I shared with my dear aunt, and I won’t ever vary from her recipe. Hoping I can return next year for her 90th birthday where, I’m sure, I’ll be asked to make it again! Enjoy

PLANS FOR A SHADY DOWNTOWN It’s no secret that one of the 11 herbs and spices in the proprietary blend that makes up Redding is beautiful lush greenery. In well-developed urban settings, trees set the scene and provide the backdrop, roof and character missing from the barren open landscapes of parking lots and shopping malls. With the drought years of 2014-2017, many long-lived downtown trees did not survive and required removal. With a love of trees and a 39-year run as a “Tree City USA,” the City of Redding’s Community Services Department sought grant funding to plant and establish 100 new trees in the downtown core. A $256,000 grant from the CAL FIRE Urban Forestry program and matching funds provided by The McConnell Foundation paid for the $160,000 project. The remaining funds allow for hand watering, establishment care, and hundreds of other new trees planted in city parks. As the trees mature in place, Redding will enjoy the benefit of energy-saving shade, increased walkability, carbon sequestration, and the social and economic benefits of a greener, more vibrant downtown. ~Travis Menne, Community Projects Manager, City of Redding

IN THE KNOW WITH JOE Joe Shipman Viva Downtown Event Coordinator

RESTAURANTS GRATEFUL FOR COMMUNITY

No doubt the coronavirus has slowed our local economy from thriving as it was just a few short months ago, but two downtown restaurants have seen a spike in business since the reopening. “The community support has been strong and people are understanding about new cleaning procedures,” says Brenon Odell of Market Street Blade & Barrel. Restaurant owners have taken new cleaning and operating procedures to the forefront of their business to better serve our community and offer the cleanest experience possible for patrons. Seng Saechao at Fusion Lounge says, “We can’t believe the amount of to-go orders we receive.

More than ever.” We look forward to seeing the thrive of business return in downtown Redding as new developments continue and Redding’s economy regains its stride.

GIVING BACK | BY EMILY MIRANDA

land that I love R E S O U R C E C O N S E R VAT I O N D I S T R I C T O F T E H A M A C O U N T Y SOIL EROSION was brought to Congress’ attention during the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. It was shown to be the number one priority for sustaining a healthy agricultural industry. This sparked the inception of the Soil Conservation Service, today known as the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The group was formed alongside local counterparts known as Resource Conservation Districts, one of which is here in the North State.

The Resource Conservation District of Tehama County began in 1987 as a legal subdivision of the State of California to conserve natural resources within its region.

The district covers 1,761,000 acres, excluding the cities of Red Bluff, Corning and Tehama. The acreage includes a variety of landscapes, such as valley floor agriculture and urban uses, foothill grasslands and chaparral, blue oak woodlands and mixed forest communities.

The nonprofit is wholly funded by donations, grants and contracts, which are used to better equip the public for managing, conserving and improving Tehama County’s natural resources. It also makes sure land decisions are socially acceptable, environmentally sound and economically feasible. This district provides numerous services to residents, landowners, agricultural producers and government agencies. These include project development and execution for noxious weed mapping and eradication, wildfire prevention plans, irrigation evaluation and technical assistance, wood chipping services, educational services and materials, and workshops for students and the public.

Along with its many services, the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County plays an active role in wildfire protection issues, updating and preparing numerous local Community Wildfire Protection Plans.

Its staff has expertise in developing these plans and coordinates these activities for the Tehama-Glenn Fire Safety Council. With an extensive knowledge in creating planning documents, maps and graphics, paired with success in getting said plans approved by state and local entities, the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County offers expertise through outreach activities and community meetings about wildfire prevention efforts.

The organization is happy to provide community services, from helping residents with financial management and oversight of natural resource conservation projects to renting out its wood chipper.
