Veteran student

I always knew I wanted to join the military. My Dad had

been in the Army, and I clung to every story he told. I went to Anderson High School and took my first college class through Shasta College my Junior year. My senior year, I attended the College Connection program, found my passion for medicine as a volunteer at Mercy Medical Center, and ultimately decided to join the Navy after graduating high school. After Bootcamp, I became a Corpsman, hoping to be part of a combat medicine team assigned to a Marine Unit. I had the drive and the fitness scores for it, but they had very few opportunities for females at the time. Ultimately I became a Physical Therapy Assistant, but a few months after reenlisting, I got hurt and required surgery. A year after my second surgery I received an honorable discharge. After spending the better part of a decade working hard and achieving my dream, I moved back to Redding, unable to do the job I felt I was made for. Moving back, I joined a gym where I met a few fellow Veterans and Shasta College Veterans Counselor Rob McCandless. Rob somehow convinced me to start taking classes again, and within that first semester, I found hope and a community I needed. Years after leaving the military, I still feel like I’m “transitioning back to civilian life” and, while I know I want to continue within medicine, I don’t know what my next career might be. Thankfully, through the support of the Veterans Services staff (many of whom are veterans themselves) I now know I have the time and resources to figure it out.

editor’s note NOVEMBER 2021 RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS can feel like a dose of humanity when we need it most. Writing a positive review for a local business, volunteering your time, helping a struggling family or spending quality time with a loved one are among the many ways we can spread kindness. Great Northern Services knows this to be true. The nonprofit organization provides housing, rehabilitation and community infrastructure programs to vulnerable Siskiyou County residents. They’re helping to alleviate hunger and help people be healthier, even when they are isolated. If you’ve got a bit of extra time and a soft spot in your heart for children, CASA might be the perfect fit for you. Court Appointed Special Advocates serve as dependable adults in the lives of foster children who need an anchor in life’s storms. They’re not social workers or foster parents – they’re just trusted adults in a child’s corner, providing emotional stability and connection. And sometimes kindness shows up in unexpected ways – like the fine folks in the Shasta County Marshal’s Office are showing through their unshaven faces. The marshals have taken on the No-Shave November challenge to benefit Kids’ Turn, an agency that supports children through their parents’ divorce proceedings. “What they do for kids is priceless,” one Marshal’s Office corporal says about Kids’ Turn. In this season of giving, we’re making a concerted effort to stop, take a breath, and think outside of ourselves to make our world brighter. Kindness changes everything!

MARK LEWIS, DDS Dentistry Practitioner, Sundial Dentistry

my town: rich family history

was born and raised in Redding, and until I graduated from college, I never knew another home. I attended Prairie and Pacheco schools and graduated from Anderson High School, where I met best friends that remain best friends. I played recreational and school sports, I was baptized and confirmed at Sacred Heart Church and I earned my Eagle Scout here. I was the goalie for the soccer team at Shasta College, where I met Christine, who would become my wife. Christine and I were both accepted at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where I pursued my childhood dream of becoming a dentist. Shortly after Christine and I married, I was accepted to the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. Christine and I packed our meager belongings, loaded a moving trailer and began our adventure. Student loans and day-to-day living expenses were astronomical. I applied for the United States Air Force Health Professions Scholarship Program, and my first assignment was Fort Walton Beach, Fla. (a very long way from “home”). I completed the Air Force’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry, and was then stationed in Albuquerque, NM; San Antonio, Texas; Lajes Field in the Azores; and finally, commander of the dental clinic at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, NM. Despite the allure of Florida’s white sandy beaches, New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains, San Antonio’s River Walk and Clovis and New Mexico’s agricultural smells that permeated the backyard, none were home. After eight years in the Air Force, it was time to make a decision. Christine and I wanted our children to have what we had as children. We wanted them to have lifelong friends, family and a place to call home. We were tired of moving. It was time to go home. We packed up for the final time and temporarily moved in with my parents, the house that was home to four generations of Lewises. I was fortunate to be offered a position as an associate dentist at Sutherland DDS, which I have since acquired and will be renamed as Sundial Dentistry. My 10-year-old son, Connor, 7-year-old daughter, Makella and my ageless wife, Christine, and I have settled into our own place. So, why Redding? It’s pretty simple. Our family has a long history in Northern California. My great-great-great-great grandfather drove 10,000 sheep across the United States and settled in Millville as a sheepherder. My mom’s grandparents migrated from Italy to McCloud for the timber industry in the early 1900s. Even without the rich family history, there is the sheer beauty of this area. Where else can you find a city that still has small-town charm, a crystal-clear river, the famous Sundial Bridge, mountains on three sides, lakes and unending outdoor recreation all within minutes of work and our house? We enjoy fishing and kayaking, hunting, winter sports and community events. We take care of each other. We have lived in many places, but never felt this sense of community, of belonging. This is Redding. We are HOME!

CHOOSE KINDNESS

KINDNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING

BY KIMBERLY BONÉY

“Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in the world.” A.A. Malee, American poet, artist, author and performer

T H E H U G E I M PA C T O F A SMALL KINDNESS

A RANDOM ACT of kindness has always been like a sudden burst of sunshine on a rainy day. But after the last several years – between an ongoing pandemic, devastating fires and snowstorms, and social and political strife that has left its mark on the North State, the country, and the world at large – one small but mighty act has the power to move proverbial mountains. A simple gesture can feel like an immeasurable dose of humanity when everyone needs it most. It can remind people on both sides of the equation that all isn’t lost, even when it feels that way sometimes. Amidst the deep sense of loss and the weight of sheer exhaustion the world is experiencing collectively, the value of a simple kindness has skyrocketed. Follow along for a few ways to lighten the load for those around you. Write a positive review for a local business or organization While we often hear people’s bad experiences with a business or organization, we rarely get a public glimpse of those special moments when an employee went above and beyond to help a customer – when a simple smile redeemed the day. If you have experienced kindness at a local establishment, take a few moments to tell the world about it. Businesses of all kinds have been plagued by staff shortages, breaks in the supply chain, shipping delays and ever-changing conditions – many of which are beyond human control. Things look different than they did before the pandemic from an operational standpoint – and they feel different, too. Take every opportunity to support businesses that are doing everything they can to push through one of the most challenging times in history. Your patience, gracefulness and kind words might be just the boost the team needs to keep going – or the reason the doors stay open.4 continued on page 24

Volunteer your time Some of the typical opportunities to volunteer may not be available at this time, but if you find something you can safely do to support nonprofit organizations and people in need right now, don’t miss the moment. Whether it’s reading to kids at your local library, fostering a homeless animal, serving food at a local shelter, participating in a clinical trial, donating blood or offering to help a friend or neighbor by running an errand, your time and commitment is a priceless gift. Thank an essential worker Healthcare workers, scientists, pharmacy staff, first responders, utility workers, teachers, school staff, care providers, postal workers, delivery drivers, restaurant staff, retail store employees and countless others have kept our communities afloat through these challenging times. Through over-crowded hospitals, medical emergencies, natural disasters, months of uncertainty and ongoing health risks, they showed up to take care of others. Give them back some of the love they’ve shared over the last few years. Consider ordering pizza or donuts for the staff. Deliver a basket of fresh fruit. Purchase a new coffee machine or microwave for the break room. Make a home-cooked meal and deliver it in a slow cooker, complete with paper plates, disposable utensils and napkins. Take a moment to write a thank-you note. If you get a chance to tell them directly, let the words pour from your heart. One way or another, let an essential worker – or a team of them – know they made a difference in your life. It’ll make a difference in theirs.4 continued on page 26

www.EnjoyMagazine.com NOVEMBER 2021

Share your surplus Did your garden produce more tomatoes or lemons than you can use? Maybe you have a few extra cans of food or an unopened container of peanut butter in your pantry. Perhaps you stashed a few extra packages of cleaning wipes, hand sanitizer or paper towels you can share with someone else. Consider donating them to a local food bank or shelter that can distribute them to those in need. Between the fires that have impacted Northern California and a decrease in support for nonprofit organizations due to lack of finances, people here in the community need help. Items like powdered milk, individually packaged cups of applesauce and canned meat, beans and vegetables with pop-top lids are options that don’t require cooking. Contact your local food bank and ask if they can accommodate donations of any perishable items, as space and refrigeration aren’t always available. Ask if there are specific needs the organization has and try to fill that need. If you can’t deliver items to the organization directly, consider making a financial donation. Help a struggling family Sometimes, a supermarket run or a home-cooked meal is out of reach for a family experiencing a crisis. Consider dropping off essential items or a meal at their doorstep. Delivery services can be a great way to provide support without leaving your home. Check in with the family to see what items they need or if there are any dietary needs to consider when preparing or ordering a meal. A donation to the family or a gift card to a store where essential items can be purchased will go a long way to help them through a challenging time.4 continued on page 28

STORY AND PHOTOS BY LAURA CHRISTMAN

Hot On The Trail TA K E A H I K E O N T H E S PAT T E R C O N E S T R A I L

MANY COOL FEATURES are lumped into one little trail in Lassen National Forest near Old Station. The 1.8-mile Spatter Cones Trail showcases the ability of an ancient lava outburst to morph into interesting rocky formations. The loop route is located about 60 miles east of Redding, across from Hat Creek Campground on Highway 44. “What I think makes this trail a special place is the different features you get to see – a spatter cone with a crater of 33 feet in diameter, collapsed lava tubes, amazing views of Mt. Lassen and an array of other volcanoes in the area,” says Brian Newman, natural resource specialist with Lassen National Forest’s Hat Creek Ranger District. Let’s get right to the matter of spatter. The trail is named for the spatter cones that resulted from hot lava bursting from fissures that cracked open in the earth’s crust some 30,000 years ago. Gobs of molten lava blasted into the air and then landed with a splat while still hot and gooey. The lava blobs stuck to each other, piling up to create small rocky cones that resemble little volcanoes. Spatter cones are just one feature formed by the molten lava that once spewed, sputtered, surged, bubbled and oozed from vents in the ground, feeding an enormous lava flow. The Hat Creek Lava Flow was 100 feet deep in some places, as hot as 2,100 degrees and covered 35 square miles, according to Lassen National Forest. Spatter Cones Trail demonstrates just what lava can make of itself as it cools and solidifies. Along the way you’ll find vesicular basalt, columnar jointing, tumulus, lava tubes and lava-cicles. (Think of the geological confidence you’ll gain with your new volcanic vocabulary!)4 continued on page 34

The trail begins at a parking area with drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables and an interpretive kiosk. Pick up a trail pamphlet here. The trail guide links to numbered posts on the route that highlight and explain a particular volcanic formation or other feature. The trail climbs about 220 feet, traversing an open, dry landscape that is home to hardy California native plants able to deal with searing summers and lean soils. They include sagebrush, antelope bitterbrush, greenleaf manzanita and curl-leaf mountain mahogany. Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines grow in the surrounding area. If you want to experience a bit of the shady pine forest, you can take a detour on the Pacific Crest Trail, which intersects with Spatter Cones Trail. Spatter Cones Trail itself, however, is open and exposed. And that means hot and dry. In summer, the best time to hike is morning (take plenty of water). Spatter Cones Trail makes an ideal outing on a nice autumn day. Newman hopes those who make the excursion come away with an appreciation for the uniqueness of the place. “I hope people get a new or refreshed perspective of the area that they are in. It is a diverse area with an amazing history.” Important: The cones, domes, tubes and other features along the trail are not to be climbed or otherwise interacted with. They are fragile and unstable. If you feel the need to go inside a lava tube, there’s a cave for that.

Subway Cave is a mere two miles to the north of Spatter Cones Trail. It’s an ancient lava tube that was part of the same lava flow. The large lava tube formed when flowing magma slowed and cooled, creating a crust on the surface while fluid lava continued to stream in the channel below. In some spots the lava completely drained, leaving the empty conduit that is now Subway Cave. A short, self-guided tour with signage explains the cave’s features. It’s dark in there, so bring a flashlight. And it’s cool – in the 40s – so be prepared for that too. • Directions: The parking area for Spatter Cones Trail is along Highway 44, across from Hat Creek Campground, about 1½ miles south of the junction of Highways 44 and 89. Subway Cave is approximately ¼ mile north of the junction, across from Cave Campground.

look good feel good E T N A ' S C I T R I N E LO U N G E FO R THE WHOLE PERSON

BEAUTY ISN’T JUST skin deep at the Citrine Lounge in Etna. “We want to bridge the gap between wanting to look good and wanting to feel good,” explains Teanna Flippo, an esthetician and co-owner of Citrine. Having opened earlier this year during the pandemic, the fully organic spa is run by Teanna and her sister, Tearra, and is focused on whole-body health. Even the name Citrine references a quartz crystal that is supposed to encourage abundance, prosperity and positivity. “We are building a healing space for individuals who need not only an aesthetic connection, but also a spiritual connection.” Before building Citrine, the sisters worked in the beauty industry. Then, life circumstances brought them back together. “We honestly never thought we could build a business together. Tearra began her career as a nail tech in Vancouver, Wash., and I was in California building my esthetics practice. But when Tearra was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, we knew the distance between us was

too much. So, we made a plan for her to move home to Scott Valley and build something really amazing that not only serves our highest self but our beautiful community, as well.” As an organic spa, Citrine puts a lot of effort into sourcing organic products, most created by other local and female-owned businesses and offered for sale at the salon. Teanna notes, “We work with an amazing team of wildcrafters who are working year-round to harvest products that are 100 percent from the earth, from the hair care to the body care to the facial care...They have been crafting, distilling their own oils or brewing their own tonics.” Teanna also credits much of the powerful energy of her shop to the women whose businesses she gives an outlet. “Honestly, I can talk all day about building a healing space during one of the hardest times in our world history, and how we are able to support women that I love and care about so deeply. These women are extremely powerful.4 continued on page 40

others

They have a voice that needs to be heard. And I feel like every day when I give a facial and my clients step out of their facial, feeling like a new person, and they’re like, yes, this is what I needed.” Citrine’s consciousness also surrounds the containers products come in, not just the content. Flippo says, “I have been working on a plastic-free lifestyle for many, many years, and that is extremely hard to do when it comes to hair and body care. Some of my favorite brands that are also organic and wildcrafted are still packaged in plastic containers. But our crafters have changed the game for me. Our shampoo and conditioner all come from a really great company called Under Luna. The owner Carly has been formulating haircare for many years and created this sustainable company for her family, and then it sort of spread out into her tiny little community. People started realizing that you can have great hair care that doesn’t come in a plastic bottle. Plus, it’s ayurvedic.” Teanna also doesn’t discount the personal connection she has with the crafters of her personal care products. “I

want to talk to a person, a face behind the product. And I’ll admit that I have women who come in with facial issues or skin pigmentation issues, and I’m like, OK, well, we tried this or we tried that. But then I can call on any one of my gals and be like, hey lady, what would you do? And they’ll answer me. And that’s cool.” Filled with plants, wood and natural light, entering Citrine Lounge’s physical space brings a calming sense of peace. Teanna is proud of the sanctuary they’ve created. “I danced in that space for months before we ever opened. I left the doors open. I left the windows open every day that I was in there before I ever allowed another being to step foot through our doors. We knew that we needed to hold space for ourselves before anybody else. We decided that this space is either healing or it doesn’t succeed.” For the clients that have already found Citrine, the two sisters are nothing short of magical themselves. But, then again, perhaps in the words of Mandy Hale, “There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”• Citrine Lounge • 591c Collier Way, Etna (541) 601-4850 • Find them on Facebook

IN CHOOSING to support Kids’ Turn, an agency that supports children during their parents’ divorce proceedings, the Shasta County Marshal’s Office is showing its softer side. Just don’t be surprised if the deputy marshals, who make up the security force for the Shasta County Superior Court and the people using it, good-naturedly bristle at that characterization. In fact, for No-Shave November, the beard is the word. Kevin Feaver, a corporal in the Marshal’s Office and the president of the Shasta County Deputy Marshal’s Association, says the idea is pretty straightforward: The 20 sworn officers in the marshals’ ranks will forego shaving for the month to see who ends up with the best beard. “Anybody who wants to participate has to be clean-shaven on November 1. We’ll take weekly in-progress pictures and name a winner at the end. You don’t really win anything but bragging rights,” Feaver says. The big winner is Kids’ Turn, which receives a check during a little ceremony in the Jury Services room. Participating deputy marshals pay an entry fee and also collect donations from various departments in the courthouse. “We get 100 percent participation from our organization and it all goes to Kids’ Turn. The guys have been really responsive and I love to see that,” Feaver says. This is the third No-Shave November for the marshal’s association; last year, the association raised $2,750. The notion of a No-Shave November has been around for some time “and we took it on and wanted to do a fundraiser for a local nonprofit,” Feaver says. As bailiffs in the courthouse, Feaver says the marshals see Kids’ Turn staffers and volunteers frequently and the decision to raise money for the agency was an easy one.4 continued on page 44

“It’s an awesome organization. What they do for kids is priceless. They help them transition into a new life after their parents split up,” Feaver says. Kids’ Turn workers also help children during the oftendifficult process by allowing them to get familiar with an empty courtroom before they are required to be present during a hearing. “It’s not as much of a surprise when they walk in there and puts them at rest a little bit. I know how scary it can be for kids to walk into a room full of adults.” Jenni Middleton, executive director of Kids’ Turn, says removing some of that friction and turmoil from family law proceedings – and helping divided families learn how to function better – is at the heart

of her organization. Kids’ Turn is the principal program offered by the Northern California Center for Family Awareness. The program consists of a six-session workshop for the entire family, with each workshop held at a public school. Parents meet in one classroom and children are sent to other classrooms based on their age. Each workshop is marked with a big potluck dinner graduation ceremony. “If you saw the families on the first night, compared to the families on the last night, you would barely recognize them,” Middleton says. “We teach parents how to communicate well enough so that their being together in the same room will not impact children negatively.” A poster on the wall at the Kids’ Turn office sums up the program’s

NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL DIABETES MONTH

Diabetes is a serious, chronic condition, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. While diabetes is manageable, its complications can severely impact daily living. Make regular appointments with your health care team to be sure you’re on track with your treatment plan and for help with new ideas and strategies, if needed. Whether you have been just diagnosed with diabetes or have had it for some time, meeting with a diabetes educator is a great way to get support and guidance, including how to: • Develop and stick to a healthy eating and activity plan • Test your blood sugar and keep a record of the results • Recognize the signs of high or low blood sugar and what to do about it

• Keep up with medication management daily • Monitor your feet, skin, and eyes to catch problems early • Manage stress and deal with daily diabetes care Healthy lifestyle habits are really important, too: • Making healthy food choices • Being physically active • Controlling your blood pressure • Controlling your cholesterol Unlike many health conditions, diabetes is managed mostly by you, with support from your health care team (including your Primary Care Provider, foot doctor, dentist, eye doctor, registered dietitian for nutrition therapy, diabetes educator, and pharmacist),

mission: “When children are free to love both their parents without conflict of loyalty and to have access to them both without fear of losing either, they can get on with the totally absorbing business of growing up on schedule!” In addition to the marshal’s association, Kids’ Turn receives some federal funding through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and local support from the Dignity Health Community Grant; the Patricia L. and David T. Kimball Fund of the Community Foundation of the North State; Shasta Dam Kiwanis; Holiday Market; Redding Rancheria; the Shasta Interagency Narcotics Task Force; and a host of personal donations.

Besides helping an organization they work with on a daily basis, Feaver says No-Shave November is “a cool little morale booster” and a chance to see how the troops look with whiskers. “We’ve got a couple that can grow a pretty good beard. We’ll see what they look like at the end of the month.” • www.kidsturnredding.org

| Wide Open Spaces | N U R P O N O P E N S PA C E WELCOME TO NUR PON - a relaxing place to walk your dog or take a family stroll through wide, meandering trails along the Sacramento River amid large groves of oak and other shade trees. That’s the vision of the City of Redding’s Kim Neimer, who has helped shepherd the former Henderson Open Space in back of the old Raley’s on Hartnell Avenue into a place where dog walkers and pedestrians can enjoy the 54-acre river frontage. Nur Pon translates to Salmon Run and the city enlisted Jack Potter Jr. of the Redding Racncheria to help rebrand the property’s name as the site is culturally significant to the Wintu. “It was time for a new name for Henderson and we thought ‘OK, let’s do something that means something … not just name something for the street it’s on,’ ” Neimer said. “We didn’t know enough about the history (to name it) so we reached out to the tribe, and Jack Potter Jr. specifically, to assist us with developing some names for it.” One of Nur Pon’s signature features is a channel flowing through the property that will allow salmon to spawn. The channel is spanned by an arched pedestrian bridge built by the Bureau of Reclamation following their dredging of the canal. “We talked about this property and I shared how the channel was running through the property, so his suggestion was that we play on that,” Neimer said adding they also worked to rebrand the Riverland Drive Open Space as Kum Bay Xerel, which translates to Shady Oak Village. Potter Jr., the Tribal Chairman, says being asked to work on a new name was a “show of respect and honor.”4 continued on page 50

| “Redding is blessed with so many beautiful places and it’s up to us to create ways where people can safely enjoy them,” she said.

“It’s important to have some of the native language visible and still in use,” he says. “It makes it feel inclusive and not like we’re a stranger on the land that was our home. We’re connected to this land and the salmon were an integral part of the Wintu culture. I think we’re seeing a resurgence in renaming areas that have meaning to natives.” Nur Pon isn’t necessarily an off-leash dog park like Turtle Bay East or the space on Placer, but the space is designed for people to take their pups for a stroll. And in addition to the renaming a city parks commission also recommended restricting bicycle access on the property. “For now, we want as many walkers … four-legged and two-legged … as we can so we can transform the use of this place,” Neimer said. As part of the Dana-to-Downtown hub, Turtle Bay East was designed as a multi-use space where dogs and bikes needed to co-exist. In addition to easing the burden on the use of Turtle Bay East, Nur Pon will allow dog people, she said, to let their four-legged friends roam without worry of sharing space … and a possible conflict … with bikes. For years, the Henderson area was populated with homeless encampments, but a recent community cleanup at Nur Pon focused on removing garbage and other eyesores. And that’s the challenge, Neimer said, in making Nur Pon another jewel in the city’s trail-system crown - ensuring enough people frequent the property to keep homeless from overrunning the area. “Redding is blessed with so many beautiful places and it’s up to us to create ways where people can safely enjoy them,” she said. Nur Pon features a lighted parking lot, a bathroom, a kayak launch and manicured trails that make walkers forget their in the heart of the city. “I’m confident once we get this place open and people circulating that the community will embrace it,” she said. •

FRAGILE HISTORY H O N O R I N G J O E YO U C H E W A N D RED BLUFF ’S CHINESE COMMUNITY

Joe You Chew • Photo courtesy of Jessica Casas

JESSICA CASAS IS one of Red Bluff 's newest residents, but is planting her roots as a descendant of one of its most historical families. She arrived in December 2020 to assist her grandfather, Joe You Chew, the last of one of Red Bluff ’s five founding families that established the city’s once-burgeoning Chinatown.

While her grandfather passed at 99 years a mere six months after she arrived, she and her husband Argel are determined to support his memory and the oft-overlooked influence of the Chinese community in the city. “That history is so fragile and it’s going to be lost soon if we don’t take care of it,” she says, noting that there are no4 continued on page 56

historical weekend to take care of the books at the California Cafe. He eventually graduated from Chico State after his studies were interrupted by World War II. As Casas acquaints herself with her grandfather’s beloved community, she’s comforted by the reception she’s received from so many he knew. “It was amazing the amount of people that still knew my grandpa,” she says. “Ninety-nine years is a long time. People that remember my grandfather and his restaurants are very, very supportive. They still remember the Ming Terrace.” The old restaurant sign was restored after a change in ownership and Chew was grateful to see that piece of his history preserved. Chew married Helen “Mabel” Yee, who staked her own claim in Red Bluff with a long career at the Department of Water Resources. She stayed active as a volunteer upon retirement and was part of a bowling league in her 80s. “She was very independent,” Casas says of her grandmother, noting that Mabel attended UCLA for a while when it was very uncommon for young Chinese American women to attend college. While Chew established himself as a popular restaurateur, he also distinguished himself with military service during World War II as one of seven young Chinese American men from Red Bluff drafted into the war. He worked in the finance department at Camp Beale and was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal recognizing the contribution of Chinese Americans in World War II. The4 continued on page 59

markers for the Chinese community. “My husband and I are reaching out to preservationists to see how to protect it.” The area of Rio Street in Red Bluff was once the city’s Chinatown, and is where Joe You Chew was born in 1921. His family originally settled in Red Bluff from China in 1888. “My grandfather was so very proud to be born and raised in Red Bluff,” says Casas. “Most Chinese families were there short-term, but our five families decided to settle there.” The Chew family operated two beloved Red Bluff restaurants, California Cafe and Ming Terrace, the latter of which closed in 1973 as the last in Chinatown. Each restaurant is commemorated with a brick in the city’s Kone & Kimball Plaza. As a young college student at UC Berkeley, Chew would take the train home to Red Bluff every

ceremony, delayed due to COVID-19, was held July 3 of this year in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Casas accepted the medal on behalf of her grandfather, who had died just one month prior. “They were really trying hard to have my grandpa go to that event,” she says, noting that it was subject to several delays and venue changes due to the pandemic. “That medal and honoring has come so late.” Chew was the last surviving veteran from Red Bluff 's Chinese community. One of Casas’ cousins accepted a medal on behalf of Chew’s older brother, who also served. “The most special moment was when the living vets were there,” she says. Chew was given a traditional Chinese funeral in Red Bluff on July 31 that was also a farewell to the community. The ceremony included a procession to several places in Red Bluff that Chew held dear, including his homes, places of business and birthplace. The family took care to work with local businesses that were important to Chew throughout his long life in Red Bluff. “My grandpa’s generation has passed,” says Casas, noting the place she now holds in ensuring his legacy. The Mabel and Joe Chew Foundation has been established to support the higher education goals of Red Bluff High School students. Of those who knew Chew, says Casas, “They remember a very kind person, a very nice person.” With the scholarship established, she hopes the kindness will extend to many generations to come. •

A P L A N T O R E V I TA L I Z E T H E ENTERPRISE HIGH SCHOOL M E M O R I A L F O U N TA I N ON A WARM late September morning, Enterprise High School Class of 1969 alumnus Steve Main gathers with fellow EHS alumni, current students and families to recognize and remember the girls who died in a car accident that rocked the high school more than 50 years ago. When the accident happened and the beloved students’ lives were lost, a group of their classmates put together a mound of flowers and plaques to serve as a long-lasting memorial. In 1989, members of the community and students got together and added a water fountain feature to it. However, in the past few years, the memorial fell into disarray and EHS alumni and their families have become concerned that it had lost its meaning. Therefore, the EHS Class of 1969 is determined to raise money to revitalize the memorial not only to remember those who were lost in the car accident, but to also bring awareness and importance to driver safety. “Our impetus was at our 50-year reunion in 2019 when we saw how the memorial had fallen into disrepair. Three of us – Ed Sandberg,

"I see the rainbow in the sky, The dew upon the grass, I see them, and I ask not why They glimmer or they pass. With folded arms I linger not To call them back; 'twere vain; In this, or in some other spot, I know they'll shine again." ~ Landor

Scott Roberts (brother of Shelley Roberts) and myself – decided we would take this on. We started sharing ideas about how to enhance the existing memorial to become a more permanent connection to the current student culture,” says Main. “We want this to be associated with ongoing curriculum about driver safety and make it a part of EHS culture.” The group plans to turn the fountain into a waterfall with granite boulders and benches that light up around it, pictures and stories of the girls, and screens that show a 15-minute video about them as well as driving educational content. “A lot of students right now don’t even know that it exists, and we want to turn it into a contemplative spot for students to be,” Main says. “There’s not one of us in the Class of 1969 who doesn’t remember that day. We all grew up together. They were all related to us in one way or another. This was devastating. This event changed all of our lives and even high school laws on transportation going to and from events.” Fellow classmate and EHS alumni Debbie Hill also remembers that day well. It was a daytime football game, she recalls. “My brother was playing JV football, so my dad and I just drove there together. I remember being at the game while my brother was playing, when I heard there was an accident4 continued on page 64

We were all part of this tight-knit, seven-person group and two of us didn’t get in that car, but I didn’t realize until the 50-year reunion how many people are still grieving,” Hill says. “Everybody in the class was impacted in a big way. They were all such sweet girls, really nice, and they had a lot of friends in different arenas. A lot of people had a special connection to them and in that, a special grief. But that in itself gives testament to this project. I feel like we’ve come a long way in helping kids grieve and have closure and also understand that one decision you make affects so many people for an entire lifetime.” The memorial is a launching point for improving student driving safety, but for those connected to the Class of 1969, it means so much more. Scott Roberts was just 10 years old when his sister Shelley died, and now he’s rediscovering and learning more about her and her classmates. “My family would come back and visit the memorial and I’ve showed it to my kids. My dad (Bill Roberts) is 96 now and concerned that the fountain lost its purpose. He wants that fountain to be restored to have the girls remembered, and the safe driving aspect of it is really important,” Roberts says. In the strange way that tragedy can bring people together, Roberts shares that 10 years ago, his oldest son’s best friend was also killed in a car accident in Chico. When he expressed his condolences to the child’s mother, he mentioned that his sister was also killed in a car accident in 1968. Then another friend of hers also mentioned that her sister, Kathryn Van Doren, died in that same accident. The two got together and Marcia Samuels (Kathy Van Doren’s sister) gave Scott a picture of Kathy and Shelley taken before the accident.

Are you or someone you love experiencing signs of depression?

“From that one tragedy, we were able to overcome and try to heal from this. I found out that Shelley was this cool, athletic, beautiful girl, and that’s how I want to remember her,” Roberts says. “I was invited to the 50-year reunion a few years ago and met my sister’s friends. It was emotional and I realized that the accident is as impactful to her classmates today as it was the day it happened. This lifetime of memories has been powerfully meaningful to me and seeing current students getting involved – I’m blown away by that. I know the main reason for it is to memorialize the girls, but the important part of it is to promote safe driving. Steve Main and the rest of the group are working tirelessly to make this happen; I’m so appreciative of them,” Scott says. “We’re very clear on our guiding goal – to save one life. We want to make this impactful.” • For more information: (530) 410-1956 or ehsclassof69memorial@gmail.com Donations can be made to “Class of 1969 memorial” Enterprise HIgh School PTSA 3411 Churn Creek Road • Redding, CA 96002

KINDNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING

BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

The Case for CASA T H E I M P O R TA N C E O F C A S A VO L U N T E E R S

IMAGINE YOU ARE a child and through no fault of your own, people suddenly show up one day and pull you from your home. You can’t take much with you, so you have to leave behind pretty much everything you own. You are taken to new a home to live with strangers who act like parents. You may find your new location is so far away you have to enroll in a new school, where nobody knows you. Snap! The world you knew is gone and you have no idea when or if you will ever get back to it. Can you imagine how that would feel?

www.EnjoyMagazine.com NOVEMBER 2021

A CASA volunteer can. A Court Appointed Special Advocate knows well this kind of trauma and disorientation, and how a foster child needs a special somebody to explain, to reassure and sometimes to just hang out for some fun once a week. Over time, a child may learn that their CASA also serves as a hub for their support, linking the efforts of a team comprised of the court, teachers, social workers and parents to ensure as gentle a guidance as possible through their strange, new world. Best yet, once the court assigns a CASA, that volunteer is in for the long haul, according to Karen Schaefer,

Regional CASA program manager, serving Butte, Glenn, Shasta and Tehama counties. “Even if a foster youth gets relocated out of our area, their CASA will maintain contact,” she says. “A CASA’s ultimate goal is to be that constant adult in their lives until they reach permanency.” Schaefer worked for child welfare for a few years, then joined Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, where she worked a variety of support positions for at-risk youth. When CASA came to Shasta County in 2015, she accepted her current position. From her Redding office, Schaefer supervises volunteer supervisors in each of the four counties. “A CASA is not meant to replace a social worker or foster parents,” she explains. “We just want to help a person who’s on the kids’ team.” CASA volunteers are trained through the program and do not need any background in education or social services. Dorothy Tello, eight-year CASA volunteer, knows how this works. “I’ve seen the importance of being a CASA in many different ways,” she says. But what she enjoys most are the connections she

makes with her CASA kids. “At the first meeting, they can be reluctant, and you have to honor that,” she says. “Sometimes it takes a couple of months to gain their trust. Every case is very different.” She looks for things they want to do, and she’s learned what they expect from her. “They don’t want me to be their therapist. They don’t want me to be their teacher,” she says. “They just want me to be someone they can spend time with, laugh with and explore with. The best moments are when you let go and relax, especially when you know there’s so much stress in their lives.” One day, she clearly saw her influence on that stress. She had just returned from a two-week vacation to find her CASA youth gone, relocated out of the area without her knowledge. She quickly tracked him down. “I actually saw him go from scared to relieved,” she recalls of the reunion. “His eyes got big, and I could see a wave of relief. That’s when I realized the importance of being a CASA.” Regional attorney Christine Price also knows the importance of a CASA. With 15 years of experience in4 continued on page 68

juvenile dependency court, she’s in court three times a week, rotating through 210 active cases for clients ranging from infancy to usually 18 years of age, but occasionally, through a non-minor dependent program, up to age 21. “It’s a good fit for me,” she says. “The goal of the court is to get the family back together again. To get this, I work with social workers, family members and CASAs. It’s very rewarding. I see people getting healed.” Price believes traumatized children look to members of the team for safety. “The key is the emotional stability of the child,” she says. “You want to ask the child, ‘Who cared about you?’ and then plug the child into those people. All of us need this connection to another human being. That is what is so powerful about working in this system.” CASAs are “an essential anchor,” Price says. “If I had my way, I would have them on every case.” Sometimes a CASA sees evidence that the connections with their kids last longer than their service

“Give me a hot drink and I’m happy. Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee... I like all winter beverages” -Alexis Bledel

GOOD THINGS COME to those who wait. If you’re looking for proof that this well-worn adage is true, consider the ubiquitous slow cooker. Whether you are a gourmet chef or can barely boil water, chances are you have a slow cooker in a kitchen cupboard. Roughly 12 million units are sold per year in the United States and an estimated 83 percent of American households own at least one. But many of those slow cookers sit idly, collecting dust and taking up shelf space … until colder weather hits and we start craving comfort food like soups, stews and heartier meals. The idea of slow cooking has been around for millennia. But the idea of introducing electricity to the concept first occurred in 1936 when inventor Irving Naxon applied for a patent for a portable cooking appliance. His patent was approved four years later, but it wasn’t until 1970 that slow cookers became a trendy kitchen gadget when the Crock-Pot brand was created. In 1972, 80,000 Crock-Pots were sold. By 1975, that number jumped to 3.7 million. More and more women were entering the workforce and families were looking for an easier way to prepare evening meals that didn’t require a lot of effort. It was a perfect storm for the simple device. Parents could work a full day and still enjoy a piping hot meal when they arrived home. Today, Americans are busier than ever. And slow cookers are enjoying a bit of a renaissance as we discover new ways to use the gadget. Sure, stews and soups remain the most popular recipes. But inventive cooks have discovered that desserts, beverages and side dishes can be prepared hours in advance of the meal. A perfect example is this Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Cider. It’s a beverage. It’s a dessert. And the tantalizing aroma will give your home a festive feeling.

HOCOLATE-COVERED STRAWBERRIES

www.EnjoyMagazine.com NOVEMBER 2021

SLOW COOKER CARAMEL APPLE CIDER SERVINGS: 12 PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 4 HOURS LOW COOKER SIZE: 5 QUARTS INGREDIENTS • 12 cups apple cider or juice (this is a good time to buy local, freshly made cider!) • 2 oranges • 1 lemon • 1 T whole cloves • 6 cinnamon sticks • ½ cup of homemade or jarred caramel sauce; set some aside for drizzling (again, this is a good time to buy local, quality sauce.) • Whipped cream INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: Pour apple juice into 5-quart slow cooker. Step 2: Cut oranges and lemons into slices. Step 3: Push whole cloves into orange and lemon rind. Step 4: Add cinnamon sticks. Step 5: Set slow cooker to low setting for a minimum of 4 hours. (Longer is fine.) Step 6: Strain citrus fruit. Step 7: Before serving, stir in the caramel sauce until blended. Step 8: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce. Note: You can prepare the first four ingredients in advance and refrigerate for a day. Kicker: Adults can add a little kick to this recipe with a shot of bourbon or spiced rum. •

ACCORDING TO Time Magazine’s “A complete guide to America’s weird obsessions,” Redding is the unofficial Kayaking Capital of the U.S., which seems quite fitting. With a plethora of rivers and lakes all around us, it makes for the perfect year-round activity in the California Adventure District. There are a few different categories of kayaking, including river and open water (ocean). One of the fastest-growing kayaking activities is kayak fishing, using a specially designed and equipped kayak as your flyfishing platform. Paddling on a lake or river is a rewarding activity that brings you close to nature and gives you a hint of vulnerability, also – you have no idea what’s swimming underneath you. Getting into kayaking in the California Adventure District is easy. You can book an introductory lesson at Headwaters Adventures for $100. Being situated right on the Sacramento River makes them uniquely qualified to provide a great experience. It’s the perfect body of water to start and grow your kayaking skills. Being in the center of town makes it easy to navigate and stay visible, plus you get unique views of well-known landmarks like the Sundial Bridge.

You can then kick it up a notch and enter the California River Quest, a fun kayaking race on Memorial Day, where racers can choose between a 25-, 50-, 75-, and 100-mile course on the Sacramento River. Another natural kayaking magnet is Whiskeytown Lake, which is easily accessible and a great place to spend a couple of hours on the water. If you’re feeling more adventurous and you have the right skills and equipment, the Trinity and Smith rivers both provide for some excellent high-level kayaking, complete with top-notch whitewater rapids. Getting into your first decent kayak can set you back between $400 and $800, depending on what features you want. A fly-fishing kayak can cost thousands of dollars. If you’re interested in giving kayaking a try, book yourself a lesson. Happy paddling! •

WHAT’S HAPPENING

DOWNTOWN DETAILS THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING DOWNTOWN REDDING BUSINESSES. Many activities are involved in creating lively, safe and sustainable spaces in a downtown district. As the nights get longer through autumn, lighting becomes more important. Just like how sidewalks, good streets and accessible amenities are part of public spaces, so too is lighting. It is one of the primary aspects of downtown planning. By illuminating sidewalks, corners, streets and other public spaces, we increase safety and reduce the risks of accidents and injuries. With a growing number of people in Downtown Redding using different modes of transportation, we need to ensure the safety of cyclists and people on scooters. Well-lit public spaces also provide pedestrians security to step out after sundown. When planning and developing architectural or location-based landmarks, well-designed lighting can create beautiful ambiences and add charm to nighttime facades, historic features and architectural views. All levels of planning now also include methods to create accessibility and inclusion. Lighting is a primary tool to help achieve this. Better lighting makes safer spaces and create spaces for interaction. Lighting plays an integral role in community building.

Fall is here and cooler weather is upon us, finally! Fire up that oven again and try this version of my daughter-in-law’s Pumpkin Baked Pasta. Melissa’s version is vegan, and this is easy to prepare vegan, making cashew ricotta, using butter alternative and omitting the cheese topping. Either way, it is a very tasty baked pasta, and one that everyone will enjoy

INGREDIENTS: 12 oz. uncooked ziti or penne pasta 2 onions, sliced very thinly 2 T olive oil 1 T brown sugar ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg Pinch each of white pepper and cayenne 10 oz. ricotta cheese, whole milk 1 15-oz. can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix) 1 cup vegetable broth or dry white wine SAGE BREAD CRUMBS: 2 ½ cups fresh homemade bread crumbs ⅓ cups walnut pieces chopped in a food processor until resembling coarse crumbs ¼ cup butter 2 tsp. dried rubbed sage 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves ½ tsp. ground nutmeg ½ tsp. ground paprika Salt and freshly ground black pepper ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Come into Enjoy the Store in Redding each month and ask for your FREE recipe card.

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch lasagna-type baking pan with olive oil. STEP 2: Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, usually 8-10 minutes. It should be al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside. STEP 3: While the pasta is cooking, make the caramelized onions. Preheat a large heavy skillet pan over medium heat. Saute the onions in oil until most of the onion slices are browned and caramelized, 12-15 minutes. Set aside. STEP 4: Place the ricotta in a large bowl and fold in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, nutmeg, white pepper, cayenne and vegetable broth/ wine, and mix to combine. Add the cooked pasta and caramelized onions, stirring to mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press lightly until even in the pan. STEP 5: To make the sage breadcrumbs, melt the butter in large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bread crumbs, walnuts, dried herbs, nutmeg and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir constantly until the mixture is lightly coated, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle evenly over the pasta. Top crumbs with Parmesan cheese. Do not cover. STEP 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

BY CLAUDIA MOSBY

Food for Families G R E AT N O R T H E R N S E R V I C E S

AT GREAT NORTHERN SERVICES, truly great things have come from small beginnings. Founded in 1978, the nonprofit organization has grown from a staff of one providing housing rehabilitation services in a single community to a staff of about 30 offering housing, rehabilitation and community infrastructure programs to vulnerable individuals and families throughout Siskiyou County. As the only county in Northern California included among the state’s top five by largest land area, Siskiyou is home to 44,000 residents spread across more than 6,000 square miles (roughly seven people for every 640 acres). Those living in smaller, remote census-designated and unincorporated communities often have less economic opportunity, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research indicates that since its onset, one out of every five people in Siskiyou County now have limited or inconsistent access to nutritious food and/or a lack of available financial resources to obtain it. Great Northern Services, a USDA commodities and emergency food designated distributor, administers a number of countywide collaborative nutrition programs aimed at alleviating hunger and food insecurity for residents struggling nutritionally both near and (quite literally) far within the county’s borders. The organization supplies canned, fresh and frozen foods to 24 community-based partners across multiple locations for distribution every other month to local residents who self-certify their need. No documentation is required, but there are income guidelines. Recipients can use drive through to pick up food or request delivery. The Tailgate Produce Party parallels the growing season and provides fresh fruits and vegetables to income-qualified Siskiyou County residents at its multi-site monthly pick-up days. The program distributes about 100,000 lbs. annually.

www.EnjoyMagazine.com NOVEMBER 2021

Senior nutrition support includes a Meals-on-Wheels program that provides meal delivery four days a week to frail, homebound, or isolated older adults in Mount Shasta, Weed, Dunsmuir and McCloud. Community cafés, created to promote the social benefits of group dining, have for now been replaced by drive-through meal distribution in response to COVID-19. People 60 and over can receive a meal four days a week. Child nutrition programs are also available. Since Great Northern Services established school mini-pantries at Mt. Shasta and Weed elementary schools in 2016, a dozen other schools in the county have opted in. The pantries supply snacks to hungry students during the day and small “take-home” bags to help fill unmet food needs over the weekend. Snack bags have helped students from more than 650 families in Weed, Mount Shasta, McCloud and Dunsmuir receive healthy snacks during extended school breaks and holidays. Almost 90 percent of students in these communities are eligible for the free and reduced school lunch program, and the snack bags help students maintain nutritional balance and reduce financial strain on low-income families. This month and again in December, Great Northern Services will donate its annual 8,000 pounds of turkeys and/or hams to food bank partners for inclusion in holiday baskets for local community members. • Great Northern Services • www.gnservices.org
