Feel the Music

B A L L E T F O L K LO R I CO D E A N D E R S O N K E E P S T R A D I T I O N A L I V E A SKIRT WITH 18 POUNDS of fabric has plenty of swirl power. When Ballet Folklorico de Anderson dancers are twirling, their flowing costumes look like giant flowers unfurling. “I like it when we get to move our dresses,” says Ionavia Farris, 7. “It feels good and it looks good.” Ballet folklorico is culture in motion. The fast-paced style of dancing is done to mariachi and other upbeat music. It was popularized in the 1950s in Mexico City but is rooted in traditions that go back centuries. Female dancers in ribbon-embellished, brightly colored, long dresses, each made with yards and yards of fabric, become swirls of colors as they move.

Ballet Folklorico de Anderson has eight dancers ranging in age from 5 to 22. The girls and young women practice at Anderson River Park and come from Anderson, Cottonwood, Redding and Shingletown. They perform at schools, convalescent homes and special events, such as the Cinco de Mayo celebration at Shasta College in Redding. “Wherever we perform, we bring a little piece of Mexico,” says Vianney Pasillas, the group’s leader. By participating in the group and learning the dances, the dancers gain knowledge about history, traditions and regions of Mexico.4 continued on page 18

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“We can remember the culture of how we danced in the past,” says Ballet Folklorico de Anderson dancer Irlanda Farris, 9. “It’s pretty cool to show everyone our culture,” says dancer Karen Lomeli, 22. The dancers are received enthusiastically by North State audiences, Pasillas says. “We like dancing and making everybody feel happy,” she adds. The style of dance is physically demanding and requires lots of practice. The most challenging part is learning “to move the dresses together as a group,” Pasillas says. Melina Delaloza, 17, has been dancing with the Anderson group for nine years. Initially she was reluctant to join because her schedule was already busy with activities. But she stepped in, gave it a whirl and is now an enthusiast. “It’s nice to be in touch with tradition,” she says. “We can express our feelings through this way of dance.” She also enjoys the friendships. “We’ve all gotten really close.” The older dancers work with the youngest dancers, teaching them techniques. “We’re like a big family,” says 19-year-old Bianca Pasillas (younger sister of Vianney Pasillas).

One of the things she likes best is sharing Mexican culture with others. When the group performs, the dresses draw lots of audience interest, she says. The costumes are handmade and can cost up to $200. Each dancer’s dress is unique. “We are a more modern group and we allow everyone to have their own style,” explains Bianca, wearing a fluorescent-pink dress and rhinestone-studded white cowboy boots. “I like the pop.” While the dancers appreciate tradition, they don’t always strictly adhere to it. Melina notes they do a version of “Los Machetes,” a machete dance traditionally performed by men. The female dancers don black leggings with white shirts and use wooden machetes, each personally decorated. “We decided it’s time to change things up a bit,” Melina says. Ballet Folklorico de Anderson is open to male dancers. And from time to time, boys have participated, Vianney says. There’s much more interest among boys and men in dancing ballet folklorico in Mexico, she says. Vianney and Bianca Pasillas were taught ballet folklorico by their mother, Lorena, who learned it as a schoolgirl in Mexico. She began leading Ballet Folklorico de Anderson about 10 years ago. Vianney, 25, took on the leadership role when she was 17 and still in high school. There’s no cost to participate in Ballet Folklorico de Anderson and the group welcomes new members. Those interested should email Vianney at vianneypasillas@ymail.com. “We want to keep the tradition alive,” she says. •

LOCAL HISTORY

| BY GARY VANDEWALKER | PHOTOS: TARYN BURKLEO

The

Enchanted Fore st N E Y S P R I N G S A N D FA E RY FA L L S THE HIDDEN TREASURE of flowing rivers and cascading waterfalls in Northern California presents a sirenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call, drawing people to explore the deep woods. In 1887, railroad worker John Ney followed the melody of the forest into the thick foliage near Mount Shasta, uncertain of what he might discover. His hunting trip became a treasure hunt. In the evergreen canyon, the sound of rushing water plunged down the mountainside. Springs of mineral water bubbled from the ground. The man purchased 800 acres and soon constructed the Ney Springs Resort, next to the enchantment of the 50-foot-high Faery Falls.4 continued on page 22

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Years before, Ney left his native home in North Carolina and traveled with his wife to California, passing Donner Lake. He came with a group of 100 wagons on a nine-month journey. Reaching the West Coast, he traveled often as an employee of the Southern Pacific Railroad and as a stagecoach driver. Upon founding the resort, he would winter in Oakland, spending his summers at the Springs in Mount Shasta. Ney’s resort thrived, as did Shasta Springs and Soda Springs, nearby cousins which boasted their own beauty. Testing the spring waters, Ney discovered a high mineral content. The waters claimed medicinal powers. From one spring, the resort sold “Aqua de Ney,” which purported to cure blood and stomach ailments. A second spring produced beauty water, said to improve the skin and hair. The waters had a foul odor, which faded after a few minutes of being collected. Tourists gathered at Ney’s resort, not only for its waters, but its beauty. Visitors enjoyed the rich hunting and fishing on the surrounding grounds. Ney and his wife, Catherine, were gracious hosts. After their deaths, their daughter Clara continued the success until the Great Depression came, and the attraction faded from history. Nature is reclaiming Ney’s property. The buildings are gone. Moss-covered ruins preserve stairs, a retaining wall, cisterns and broken pipes of mineral water. The falls and Ney Springs Creek tumble along, passing a fading history. Once a myriad of buildings rose here. A carriage house, a hotel, barn and bathhouse welcomed guests. Wooden walkways snaked through the trees.

The short hike opens another world. Here where Ney found the unexpected, the words of J.R.R. Tolkien can be heard, “Not all those who wander are lost.” The shadows play across the forest. Hikers experience a middle earth euphoria. The name of the resort and its founding date etched on a crumbling wall whisper of a time where people crowded here. The vanishing roadway continues past the ruins to Faery Falls. A rock face acts as host to the river as it pours and divides during descent, turning into a watery ribbon and waterfall. The view is timeless, remaining much as Ney’s first view and the endless gaze of his future guests. The historic ruins of the resort and waters Ney stumbled upon still call travelers, a mere half-mile from Ney Springs Road. The trail is what is left of the road to the resort. The way is unmarked. For the curious, a trip to Mount Shasta and Lake Siskiyou will lead across Box Canyon Dam, a left up Castle Lake Road, to the first left, the unpaved Ney Springs Road. After going 1.4 miles, a faint path splits to the right, forming the trail to the lost enterprise. The short hike opens another world. Here where Ney found the unexpected, the words of J.R.R. Tolkien can be heard, “Not all of those who wander are lost.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica. He manages the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, he writes on a variety of subjects, including more than 100 articles for Enjoy.

—I T ’ S A —

BREEZE Z E P H Y R B O O KS & CO F F E E I N Y R E K A THE 41 BOOKSHELVES that line the walls and create aisles in Yreka’s Zephyr Books & Coffee were installed over a three-month period that took the West Miner Street storefront from such former incarnations as an upholstery business and the Miner Street Bakery to today’s popular third space where locals and visitors alike mingle in conversation or pore over laptops to work. Or peruse bookshelves and quietly choose a new read. “I walked down each of these bookcases,” says co-owner Guy Scott, who moved the shelves from a business three doors down. “It was arduous.” The commitment was only one in a series of lessons in timing for the business, which opened on Labor Day of 2016.

Zephyr Books & Coffee is a family-owned undertaking that took root when co-owner Zapata Parra, Guy’s stepdaughter, was 16 and working at the town’s former bookstore down the street. The owners wanted to retire and hoped to support the young entrepreneur as the shop’s new owner. The first ask didn’t take with the young teen. Just a few years later, with a new baby, shop namesake Zephyr, now 14 months old, the idea took root with strength. Around the same time, Zapata’s mom, Debbie Scott, was changing careers due to new regulations in the home daycare industry. She’d started a baked goods business, focusing on organic ingredients and local produce as the seasons permit, which she sold at local farmers markets. 4 continued on page 26

Realizing they could combine talents in one storefront, and use Guy’s skills as a retired contractor to upgrade a building, the family set out to open the space named in honor of its youngest member, who finds it as much a second home as anyone. “The business evolved naturally,” says Debbie of the bookstore that started with 14,000 titles from the old store and has grown significantly with mostly used books. “Once we decided to do baked goods, the coffee came on board, and then the espresso came on board. And then the highend coffee came on board.” Zephyr Books & Coffee serves from Northbound Roasters, just down the freeway in Mount Shasta. “They’re meticulous in the way they choose their coffee beans,” says Debbie. “It’s all organic. We place an order every week so it’s really fresh.” Adds Guy, “They trained us. They came in and spent two weeks with us.” Such a close relationship with a local business is all part of the plan for the family, who relish bringing people and ideas together. Says Debbie, “It’s really important for us to represent local business as much as possible. In the summer, I work with local farmers to get their fruit.” Having noticed that the store attracts as many tourists as locals, she adds, “We really want to be an advertisement for our area.” While the store holds mostly used books, they maintain a stock of new children’s and young adult titles, as well as local history and Bibles. Patrons can receive store credit for used books they bring in. Says Zapata, “I love used books because they have so much history in them. They’ve been on an adventure all their own.” While she appreciates history, Zapata brings the modern perspective to the business. She designed the store’s logo

and maintains a social media presence, taking particular care to craft intriguing photos for its Instagram page. The mix of perspective and talents of the Scott-Parra family has created something special for the people of Yreka. “This is my second home,” says Billy Syms, a writer, poet and recording artist. “I come here to play and sing, work out new songs. I get a lot of inspiration being here.” Syms, an almost daily patron, says that the the time in community with others is as important as the good coffee and pastries. “It was very instrumental in my recovery from leukemia,” he adds. As a true third space – a gathering spot away from home and work/school – Zephyr Books & Coffee attracts a large cross section of Yreka’s population. After school, it becomes a popular teen hangout. Community groups meet for Bible studies and book clubs. Yreka’s famed Red Scarf Society holds meetings there. Live music is played all day on Fridays. When local musicians aren’t in house, vinyl records play on the sound system. “You want to flip the record?” is a common question heard throughout the day, but the vinyl vibe seems to be right in line with the goal of the space. While they may be changing records a bit more often than they’d like, timing has been everything for this family business. “This all just happened at the ideal time,” says Zapata. “It all fell into place.” • Zephyr Books & Coffee • 328 W.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STEM CELL TREATMENT CENTER

STEM CELLS ... OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate. Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives. Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

H U M B O L DT B AY M A R I T I M E M U S E U M ’ S M A D A K E T C R U I S E S SHE’S NOT THE OLDEST passenger-carrying vessel in the United States, but she’s the country’s oldest vessel in continuous use. “The Madaket has never lost its Coast Guard certification,” explains Dalene Zerlang, the volunteer operations director for the boat, which is owned and operated by the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum. Built by a local shipwright in 1910, the Madaket was one of seven ferries that carried people across Humboldt Bay, from Eureka and Samoa to Arcata and the north spit, with stops in between. “And to the beach,” Zerlang adds, “if there was a shipwreck. Back in the day, that was a big deal.” “The Madaket ferried people all the way into the ‘70s, mainly lumber workers who worked the mills, and families from Eureka to Samoa. It also worked as a kind of tugboat,

pulling logs around the bay until the log farms were outlawed by California in the ‘70s.” The Madaket and its six sister vessels actually ferried the workers who built the Samoa Bridge in 1972, which ultimately contributed to putting the ferry service out of business. In other words, the Madaket put herself out of work. “Right? Evolution,” Zerlang says with a laugh. H.H. Cousins built the original seven boats, naming them after his children. Madaket was christened Nellie C (after Cousins’ daughter Eillen, spelled backwards) but later the vessels were sold to Walter C. Cogshell, who renamed the boats after Native American names from the East Coast.4 continued on page 30

After the boats were decommissioned in 1972, most were left to the elements. According to Zerlang, one went down to the Bay Area, a couple sunk or burned, and the rest were just left at the docks. “They just didn’t need to be used anymore,” she says, essentially making them ghost ships. But in 1972, Bob Imperial purchased and renovated the Madaket, transforming her into a harbor cruise vessel, and giving her new life. He later donated the boat to a nonprofit that would ultimately turn her over to the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum in 1983. The tie between the Madaket and Maritime Museum is the boat’s longtime captain, Leroy Zerlang, who began working on the Madaket when he was 14. According to Zerlang, a young Leroy began working the docks, “hanging out with all the old tugboat guys, meeting some of

the captains who worked the ferry boats,” who encouraged him to become a licensed captain. As for the same last names, “yeah, I married him,” Zerlang chuckles. “I came into the picture in 1990. I worked on the boat and got paid as a deckhand, and Leroy wasn’t getting paid at all. He was volunteering his time. And for the whole 25 years that I’ve been on board – 26 now – he’s never gotten paid. It’s all been a love of boats.” Leroy isn’t the only local who loves the Madaket. In May, when weather permits, the Madaket will continue offering cruises to eager passengers, including a 75-minute historical tour, and a 5:30 pm cocktail cruise, “which is really popular with the locals and tends to sell out quite a bit,” says Zerlang.

T-PREP = Tribal – Personal Responsibility Education Program

The Greenville Rancheria Tribal Health Program is excited to work together with CRIHB (California Rural Indian Health Board), and other Tribal PREP Program Collaborators to educate our native youth by providing culturally appropriate health education. This program was designed to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception for the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. The intention of this project is to increase awareness and understanding of critical issues in the life of young American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) while improving self-efficacy and empowering youth to achieve their true potential. This program has 12 sessions of educational instruction which include youth driven and participation focused activities that increase learning while promoting positive connections between youth participants.

Healthy relationships, parent-child communication, and healthy life skills, such as goal-setting and decision making are just a few of the Adult Preparation Subjects (APS) taught in this program. Each session is closed with a traditional AI/AN talking circle to provide clarification and reflection. It is important that we work together to model and support our youth in their growth and development. Our youth are faced with many decisions and it’s our responsibility to help educate them so they are able to make healthy choices for their future, and the future of their tribal communities. If you would like information on this program, or any other program offered by Greenville Rancheria Tribal Health Center, please feel free to call us at 530-528-8600 Ex 218.

The historical cruise takes passengers around the bay, from the shores of Eureka to the estuary, with opportunities to view wildlife and visit oyster beds, as well as pass “the long Indian island.” According to Zerlang, no two cruises are alike, as “the captain narrates live the points of interest and everything that has to do with the bay.” The cocktail cruise is an hour-long ride that sometimes allows the captain to take requests from passengers for the evening’s destination. “We play music, and provide blankets,” says Zerlang, “and it’s just a mellow cocktail hour.” Tickets for the historical tour are $22 for adults with discounts for seniors and children, though Zerlang says prices might increase this season. Tickets for the cocktail cruise are cheaper at $10 and do not

include the price of drinks. Even with the modest rise in prices, “they are the cheapest on the West Coast for a harbor cruise, but then the money that is made on the Madaket goes right back into the boat. The upkeep is tremendous.” Of those seven original vessels, the Madaket survived, but why? “I don’t know,” admits Zerlang. “She just seemed special to people. Some will come up and say, ‘I rode that boat when I was a teenager or when I went to work.’ She’s a piece of the area’s local history.” • Madaket Cruises • (707) 445-1910 www.humboldtbaymaritimemuseum.com

INSPIRATION

| BY KERRI REGAN

Mother May I M O T H E R ’ S D AY I D E A S W I T H A L I T T L E M O R E O O M P H IT SEEMS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK, to adequately express how much you truly appreciate your mom (or that special mom in your life) on Mother’s Day. Jewelry, flowers and brunch are always wonderful tributes, but if you’re looking for something a little different this year, we have a few unique ideas for selecting a gift that truly befits the lovely ladies in your life. PICTURE PERFECT: One of the most beautiful things about the digital age is capturing life’s precious moments with a touch of a button on your smart phone, but most of those photos never end up seeing the light of day. Surprise Mom by turning some of the past year’s photos into a photo book with a service like Shutterfly, or turn her Instagram feed into a book using Blurb or Chatbooks. FEED THE FAMILY: Subscribe to one of a growing number of services that delivers a recipe and all of the ingredients to your doorstep, so you can prepare a delicious meal in the convenience of your home. HelloFresh and Blue Apron are becoming household names all over the country, and the North State is home to several local services that are growing in popularity. BE CREATIVE TOGETHER: Create ceramic treasures together at All Fired Up, take a dance class together through Redding Recreation or enjoy a paint-and-wine night at places like Moseley Family Cellars or Armando’s Gallery House.4 continued on page 34

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

HAVE A TEA PARTY: China cups and decadent treats will make Mom feel like a pampered princess for a day. Do it yourself or treat her to an afternoon at Grace Place Tea House in Redding or the Tea Bar and Fusion Cafe in Chico. GET OUT OF HERE: Plan a weekend getaway with Mom—or if you can’t get out of town, schedule a “staycation.” Gather your favorite snacks, board games and movies, quarantine your cell phones and enjoy reconnecting with each other. GO TO THE SHOW: Tickets to a performing arts show achieve the dual purpose of serving as a thoughtful gift and ensuring some quality time with Mom. The Cascade Theatre, Redding Convention Center, Riverfront Playhouse, Shasta College, State Theatre in Red Bluff and Laxson Auditorium in Chico are among the many venues that offer engaging entertainment of all kinds. Is she a sports fan? Treat her to a day at the ballfield - the Colt 45s offer a great time for the whole family in Redding, or the Sacramento Rivercats, Oakland A’s or San Francisco Giants can be tackled in a long day trip.

COWGIRL UP: The Cottonwood Rodeo is a Mother’s Day tradition, so treat the moms in your life to some bootstomping action. BY YOUR OWN HANDS: Your mom has probably told you that homemade gifts are her favorites, and that doesn’t have to change once you get past the macaroni necklace stage. Compose a love letter or poem and frame it. Or make Mother’s Day last all year by delivering a batch of warm, fresh cookies to her every month for the next year. And there’s no limit to the creativity you can employ in a personalized book of coupons, which can be good for cleaning, cooking, laundry, washing her car or other chores that she’d love to escape. GRAB A GIFT: If you’re a more traditional sort and enjoy presenting a gift that can be wrapped up with a bow, consider shopping locally. Enjoy the Store offers an array of artwork, food, jewelry and more, all made by local artisans. Local florists provide that personal touch you won’t get by calling an 800 number. An added bonus? The dollars you spend stay in our community—and Mom will appreciate that! •

Creative Fire WEARABLE ART FROM VENUS D’PYRO

SANDY SCOTT AND GINI HOLMES’ VENUS D’PYRO is a Redding-based, small batch textile design company. Holmes, the technical guru, prints the stunning photographic images, doodles and patterns onto the fabric. Scott, the construction guru, sews the printed fabric together into articles of clothing. Together, they work magic in the form of wearable art. WHY DID YOU GO INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER? Sandy: We’ve been friends since 1982, but didn’t start collaborating creatively until 2007. It was a time for transition. We’d had a few creative conversations, but never really set out to have a business. We just started doing something creative together and it was as if we just woke up one day and had a business. WHO WAS THE BRAINCHILD BEHIND THE CONCEPT OF VENUS D’PYRO? Sandy: (laughing) Maybe we should call ourselves the brainless creative twins! It’s a hit and miss process. Sometimes we catch the rebound of the other’s creative energy. There is a whirlwind that happens when people are excited. Gini: (also laughing) I like to call it ‘the 24-hour response’ – 24 hours later, it’ll dawn on us what the other was trying to say. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING IN THIS MEDIUM? Sandy: I am self-taught in design and fabric construction. I’ve worked in batik, quilting, stained glass and watercolor. All of the things I had done or learned up to this point have come together in this art form. I have an affinity for a certain look and I’ll interpret those same designs in other mediums.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2017

My creative force is innovation. The original idea may not even be recognizable in the finished piece, but I know it’s there. Every piece you’ve ever created as an artist culminates in the piece you are making now. Gini: I was taught to sew by my grandmother. My mom’s approach was that if you want something, you need to at least try to make it yourself. I studied traditional printmaking at Stanford. I got to work with some amazing artists there. I obtained my master’s at MIT and got involved in research during the evolution of Xerox and color copying. I was an artist that was brought in by MIT to help ‘the techies’ figure out how to print the graphics they were working on. My philosophy is that I like to take technology and thrust it back in time. WHAT’S THE SWEETEST THING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DESIGN TOGETHER? Sandy: The culmination of everything that is personal and creative between us coming together in a finished piece. It’s the combined energy. It’s the fact that it’s cumulative. Gini: I love that we are both open to trying to do it differently. We both ask, ‘What if we do it this way?’ We really bounce off of each other. We are not required to do something according to an exact pattern. I’m very technical. I’ll see the individual tunic. Sandy sees the whole finished product – how it’s worn and how it’s accessorized. The combined perspective just works. Sandy got me back into doing my art.4 continued on page 38

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR DESIGNS? Gini: I am always taking notice of what is around me. I’ll take pictures when I am kayaking or traveling and work with Sandy to incorporate those images into our designs. Sometimes it’s a total surprise what we end up with. The ‘cosmic glitch’ factor always comes into play. Sandy: You have to design around those glitches. The design has a way of telling you what it wants. Each and every piece is unique. There is a constant creation, recreation, innovation and redesign until it becomes a finished piece.

Each and every piece

is unique.

There is a constant creation, recreation, innovation and redesign

until it becomes a finished piece.

IT DOESN’T GET MUCH SWEETER THAN THAT. TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE KIND OF PRODUCTS YOU CREATE. Gini: We design kimonos, kaftans, dusters, scarves, pants, clothing and jackets. From start to finish, we make it. We use natural dyes, eco-printing methods, and random odds and ends we find to create one-of-a-kind pieces. THE NAME VENUS D’PYRO IS (ALMOST) AS INTRIGUING AS THE FABULOUS DESIGNS. WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THE MONIKER? Sandy: It was a name I made up that I always felt translated to “Goddess of Fire.” Originally, it was the name I used for my fused glass pieces. It was a way to pay homage to the muse. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS? Sandy: When you’ve created something and someone is receiving your art in the deepest, most holistic way. Someone has put on a piece of ours and has come out of the fitting room in tears. They have said it’s healing. When someone says that to you, you feel holistically received. I love the delivery of goods to the person it was intended for. It’s a visceral experience —making the piece for this person, for this exact moment. Gini: Ditto. WHAT’S THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE PROCESS FOR YOU? Sandy: Finding the right dialog to combine your ideas into a single, finished product—that, and being able to turn off the flow and not having 10 other ideas rushing in at once. Gini: Making our two realities come together. You know how it is with friends and family – you build a life together but are often very different in terms of personality and approach.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2017

WHAT’S THE MOST INTERESTING ELEMENT YOU’VE USED TO CREATE A PIECE OF WEARABLE ART? Sandy: The nuts and bolts one. Gini: One day I was at home and super bored. My husband builds amplifiers. I went looking around in his studio and found some nuts and bolts. The pattern turned out really neat. I’ve even used weeds from my yard and set them on my scanner. It’s picking something up in an unexpected place and wondering what we can do with it. Sandy: Gini once created a print from a slide of mouth DNA. It was the most beautiful piece. Life is filled with beautiful patterns. We are just collecting them. • Venus d’Pyro • 945 Merchant St., Redding • (530) 945-6301 Find them on Etsy, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr

DURING HIS SEVEN YEARS as a Major League ballplayer, Rick Bosetti played in packed stadiums across North America. He even notched some postseason experience as he patrolled center field for the Oakland A’s when they were chasing the pennant in 1981. These days, as he bustles around putting the finishing touches on Tiger Field and preparing for the Colt 45s season, Bosetti is just as excited about baseball. It turns out the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd still electrifies, whether it’s Oakland Alameda Coliseum or South City Park. The first pitch of the Colt 45s’ 14th season will be thrown Friday, May 26, when the Santa Rosa Rosebuds come to town for a threegame set, and there to celebrate it will be Homer, the new mustachioed mascot.

Homer, who will become a familiar figure around town and at the ballpark, is just one addition to the Tiger Field scene for this season. Additional fencing has been added to increase the fans’ sense of security and enclose a pair of new bocce ball courts and an expanded concession area. Bosetti, the Colt 45s general manager, also has worked to give his ballplayers a fresh look by adding a yellow sleeveless jersey to the mix. That brings this year’s uniform options up to three. Safely stowed away in the clubhouse are a season’s worth of new bats (a $10,000 order) and 80 dozen baseballs. (Bosetti says the team goes through an average of two and a half dozen baseballs during a game.) Originally established by the late Denny Brugman as a men’s league team, the Colt 45s transitioned into a summer collegiate wood-bat4 continued on page 42

team when Greg Cadaret, another former big-leaguer, took on the managing role. When Cadaret left to coach a pro team in Traverse City, Mich., Brugman and Paul Barrington stepped in to run things for three or four years. Bosetti, the former Simpson University Redhawks coach, is now in his fifth year with the Colt 45s. Cadaret returned to the fold two years ago and is preparing for his second season as the head coach. While Cadaret’s mission is to provide some of the country’s top college-level amateurs a chance to hone their skills over the summer break, Bosetti is focused on improving the 94-year-old ballpark, reclaiming South City Park and creating winwin partnerships with nonprofit groups. “I want to provide affordable, quality family entertainment,” Bosetti says. He notes that a family of four with two children can attend a Colt 45s game for $14. With fresh, homemade hot dogs and hamburgers going for $3.50 and 16-ounce craft beers (for the older fans) available for $5, Bosetti figures a night at the ballpark doesn’t have to be a budget-busting experience. “We want this to be a good summertime choice for families to come out, visit and gather with friends,” Bosetti says. Fans are doing just that to the tune of 850 paid attendance, on average, for each of last season’s 40 games. Nonprofit organizations also are getting in on the fun. Nearly every one of the 39 home games this summer is associated with a nonprofit. Each group is given a block of tickets to sell and can pocket half of the proceeds. A check is presented behind the backstop at each game. Bosetti says more than $20,000 was returned to nonprofits last season,

with Cottonwood Little League being the year’s big winner: the youth baseball group sold 1,400 tickets and earned $3,500. The park’s new bocce ball courts, built by the Sons of Italy Shasta Lodge No. 2453 and which received rave reviews during last fall’s Paesano Days event, will be put to use for a tournament the weekend of June 23-25 when the Humboldt Crabs visit for a three-game series. The tournament will have room for 48 teams and all participants will receive game tickets. KIXE-TV partners with the Colt 45s on the Fourth of July. The public television station distributes 1,000 tickets that allow fans to set up chairs on the field and watch the fireworks as they explode in the northern sky above the Safeway supermarket. “That’s one of our big nights,” Bosetti says. Game time is moved back to 6 pm and the stadium lights go off when the first rocket is launched. Bosetti hopes July 21 is an even bigger night. With the Colt 45s on a rare road trip to Eureka, Tiger Field will become the venue for a fundraising concert by the country band Sixwire (known from their frequent appearances on the TV series “Nashville”) with special guests John Elefante, former lead singer with Kansas, and Steve Augeri, the former lead singer with Journey. • www.reddingcolt45s.com

“CHEF, YOU’VE BEEN CHOPPED,” is one thing you wouldn’t want to hear on the Food Network show Chopped Junior. For 12-year-old Joshua “Joshy” Altamura, it was something he wouldn’t have to face. Joshy won “Chopped Junior: Make Me a Judge,” which aired March 22. Last December, Joshy got to travel to New York to the Food Network studio for a week to compete on the show. “It was amazing. It was so much fun. I loved every minute of it,” Joshy says. But getting there was a long road. “It was extensive,” says Joshy’s father, Fabiano Altamura. The first step was an application form,

and from there the process included an eight- to 10-minute documentary, a FaceTime call for an hour and a half, two hour-long phone calls and another four-minute documentary. “It was really difficult,” Joshy says. The show featured three rounds: appetizers, main dishes and desserts. “For the first round, I made a Mediterranean sausage and ricotta empanada pizzetta with caramelized dates and onions on top with an arugula salad and a chile-garlic sauce,” says Joshy. For the main dish, he made a rustic duck pot pie stew with a doughy crouton.4 continued on page 46

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“Itinwas amazing. It was so much fun. I got to eat the best food I’ve ever had my life for free,” says Joshy. “It was really fun to judge but it was difficult having to chop. It was hard to decide because they’re all so great.”

And for the dessert round, “I made a French cinnamon apple strudel with a vanilla whipped cream and a caramel orange-cranberry sauce with a cookie crumble,” Joshy says. A grand meal fit for kings, but was served to three judges. In the third round, Joshy had to critique his own dish, “which was fun but quite difficult because you had to say what you enjoyed about your dish without really knowing what it tasted like,” says Joshy. Through the difficulty, Joshy won and then got to appear on another episode where he “was actually judging two of the chefs who were judging him,” Fabiano explains. “It was amazing. It was so much fun. I got to eat the best food I’ve ever had in my life for free,” says Joshy. “It was really fun to judge, but it was difficult having to chop. It was hard to decide because they’re all so great.” From here, Joshy wants to “open a restaurant but also I was thinking of doing Master Chef next season,” says Joshy. “But it’s unlikely to win Master Chef. It’s a onein-12 chance.” “And that’s when you’re on the show,” Fabiano adds. Joshy has been “seriously cooking for four years,” says Fabiano, beginning when he was 8. He learned by “watching my family cook and eating food also, that got me to love it,” says Joshy. “The time that I realized I love

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2017

food is when we went to Italy when I was 4 years old and I ate my first ava croquette potato and I just fell in love with it.” Joshy’s favorite food to cook is steak and croquettes and his favorite restaurant is Bouchon, Thomas Keller’s restaurant in Napa. He would like to visit “the best restaurant in the world. It’s called Osteria Francescana and the head chef is the best chef in the world. I really want to go there,” Joshy says. The chef ’s name is Massimo Bottura and the restaurant is in Modena, Italy. Joshy is originally from Sheffield, England, and moved to Redding five years ago in August 2012. When the Bethel Christian School eighth-grader is not in the kitchen, you can catch him “playing soccer and hanging out with his friends,” says Joshy. Joshy also works at Tantardini’s European Bakery-Deli and his mentors are Diego Tantardini, owner and chef of Tantardini’s and John Gabriel, head chef at Bethel. •

hris Yoshimi Uchibori’s heartbeat was a musical score, with each note celebrating the beauty of the life that he enjoyed so fully. Uchibori, who died April 1 at age 70, created a legacy in the North State world of music. “He was a valued and very active member of the Shasta College community ensembles for at least 25 years,” said Dr. Larry Grandy of Shasta College. “Not only was Chris a talented teacher and musician, he was an extremely personable, generous and kind man. He will truly be missed by our local music community.”

Though music was his passion, his truest love was his family. Born in Honolulu and raised in Kailua, Uchibori met the love of his life, Vicky, while he was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in music from Pasadena Nazarene College (now Point Loma University). They were married for 47 years, and they have two beloved daughters, Kim Uchibori and Rose McKee (husband Kevin), and twin granddaughters, Rory and Emily, who were the light of Uchibori’s life. Kim was inspired by how deeply and openly her father loved people. “He was truly invested in everybody’s lives – his family, his students, his friends. He loved hearing from them and of their successes.” Uchibori played saxophone in the Army band as a young man, and he taught music in Pacific Grove and Texas before he was hired in 1985 as a music teacher in the Red Bluff Union School District. Though he retired in 2006, he continued to teach part-time for the rest of his life. He was named Teacher of the Year five times. “He always championed music education and the successes of his current and former students,” said Shasta Symphony Conductor Dr. Dwayne Corbin. Uchibori performed in countless bands, orchestras and church groups over the years. He conducted music camps and judged numerous music festivals. Everywhere he traveled, he took at least three instruments with him. Last month, the family was together in Hawaii for Uchibori’s father’s memorial, and he delighted in showing off the place where he grew up. “He so enjoyed showing us his hang out spots, his favorite places to eat and playing with his granddaughters on his beaches,” said daughter Kim. “My favorite memories are of us spending the summers in Hawaii just like that.”

In addition to his wife, daughters and granddaughters, Uchibori is survived by an expansive network of extended family, friends and former students.

Reading Between the Lines F U N F O R K I D S AT T H E R E D D I N G L I B R A R Y THE SITUATION SEEMED RATHER FISHY. A Coleman National Fish Hatchery biologist read three stories, each with a finny protagonist. Then a large salmon by the name of Landon entered the room. “I see a BIG, BIG fish!” yelled out a preschooler as Landon lumbered in. After taking photos with the friendly salmon character, children gathered around tables where they slathered paint on rubber fish forms and dipped sliced celery into paint to make fish pictures. Just another busy morning at Redding Library. The children’s section of the library has books and reading nooks, but staying still and silent is not the expectation. Action is the vibe. The spacious downstairs area is a place to imagine, explore and engage. Children come for the stories but stay for the crafts. Or maybe the Legos with the floor-to-ceiling wall to build on. There also are computer games, a dollhouse, marble maze, art materials, science activities and puppets. An interactive projector flashes images onto the floor, inviting children to hop across stones, jump on popcorn kernels to pop them, burst bubbles or scatter jellybeans. Story times are a staple—offered every weekday. Family game nights are on Mondays; movie nights (with popcorn!) on Fridays. Special events throughout the year include seasonal festivals. Last

spring’s “Rev, Rumble and Roar” featured a helicopter, fire engines and big rigs. “When people think about libraries, they think about books. I think people are pretty surprised to see all the things we offer,” says Anna Tracy, Shasta Public Libraries Youth Services supervisor. Lots of things are in play at the Redding Library, and all are built around fostering a love of learning. The children’s section includes board books, picture books, chapter books and parenting resources. Books, magazines, preloaded MP3 players with audio stories, DVDs and board games can be checked out. A popular summer reading program features prizes and encompasses activities like yoga, robotics and karate. Other reading incentive programs run year-round. “We want kids reading all the time,” Tracy says. The children’s section stays in motion, with new books, activities and materials constantly being rotated in. “There’s always something new,” Tracy says. Tracy, 27, has a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Sonoma State University and is working on her master’s degree in library and information science. She grew up in Redding and started working for the Redding Library when she was 16, shelving books and helping customers. She returned to Redding four years ago for a library position and was promoted to Youth Services supervisor two years later. As she plays with an egg-splat ball and demonstrates a wall

creeper – prizes from the summer reading program – Tracy notes, “I think I am a little bit of a kid at heart.” On her desk is a pink-plastic Darth Vader figure she made with the library’s 3-D printer. On her office wall are framed children’s paintings made during Messy Paint Day. When describing the children’s section offerings, Tracy frequently says: “It’s super fun!” The fun has purpose. Programs and activities are grounded in early childhood and literacy expertise and proven practices. “Everything is backed in solid research,” Tracy notes.4 continued on page 52

A sensory story time offered once a week welcomes children who have autism and other special needs. Lights are lower and voices softer. Tactile activities, such as wrapping yarn around a sheep cutout, are featured. Other story times also have themes, including art, music and science. In science sessions, preschoolers have launched marshmallows with tiny catapults and made butterflies with tissuepaper wings set in motion by static electricity. Shannon Carpenter of Redding took son Scott, 3, to a science story time focused on weather. “For the rest of the week he talked about wind and tornadoes,” she says. “It’s fun to watch his brain connect.” Carpenter became a full-time stay-at-home mom after the birth of daughter Hayley, 7 months. She appreciates the library because it’s a welcoming place where she and her children can go for a change of scene. Margaret Twombley and her 4-year-old granddaughter Leah are story-time regulars. Leah was shy at first but now joins in at the craft table with other children. “She loves to hear the stories. She loves to do the crafts,” Twombley says. Tracy wants the children’s section of the library to be “a place that is so fun, people don’t realize how much they are learning, how much they are taking away.” A big reward of her job is witnessing children connect to the library. “I love to hear a kid squeal out because he just found the book he wanted,” she says. •

OLD PINE STREET SCHOOL IN REDDING FOR ITS FIRST 45 YEARS, Pine Street School welcomed Redding children into its classrooms and provided lessons and memories that serve its former students to this day. Shelly Shively has only fond recollections of the school she attended from kindergarten through the fourth grade, including the Wednesday hot dog lunches, drying rain-soaked coats on the radiators and dressing up as a sailor and singing “Que Sera Sera” in the talent show with her twin sister, Doni Chamberlain. “It was a cool school,” Shively says. “It’s kind of a pride thing to have grown up in Redding and people are always surprised to learn I’d gone to Pine Street School. I have nothing but good memories. It was a great experience.” In its second life, the stately building has spent the last 50 years as a unique center of commerce in the downtown area. Unlike many a historic building in Redding, the Pine Street School avoided the wrecking ball. “I’m glad the building still lives on,” Shively says. Jeana LeClerc is glad, too. She has operated her Art of Skin Care business in the school for nine years and says her clients enjoy visiting—especially the former students. “They come in and say, ‘This used to be the principal’s office.’ They love this spot.” “It’s a landmark,” agrees Wendy Hodge, whose Farmers Insurance office is in the building. “All you need to do is tell them, ‘I’m in the

Pine Street School.’ My stepmom attended and many of my clients attended here. They will go on and on. They tend to relive a childhood when they walk in.” “It sort of has a good feel about it,” says Redding attorney Gary Brickwood, who opened his law practice in the school in 1995. “It’s different from a lot of office buildings. It’s an old building that probably needs more repair than the average office building, but it gives you a decent feeling when you’re here.” Brickwood should be quite familiar with that feeling: the Redding native attended Pine Street School from kindergarten through the sixth grade and his grandmother, Flora Jordan, was a third-grade teacher there for years. Designed by the Sacramento architect firm of Woollett & Lamb, Redding Grammar School (as it was called then) opened in 1922 at the intersection of Pine Street and Eureka Way on a lot donated by Edward Frisbie. In keeping with the architectural trends of the time, the school is a wonderful example of the Mediterranean Revival style with its stucco exterior, red tile roof and arched windows. It served as a school until 1967, when it was found to not meet seismic safety standards and its students were reassigned to newer schools in the area.4 continued on page 56

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

The school was purchased, extensively remodeled and transformed into a complex of retail shops, offices and restaurants. It underwent another remodel in 1995 with an emphasis on office and restaurant use. It is owned by Les and Dianne Monthei and managed by Michele Goedert. Nick Parker is not a former Pine Street School student, but he was a former downtown restaurateur when he decided in 2013 to relocate his Cheesecakes Unlimited from East Cypress Avenue to the school and he’s been happy ever since. “It’s been really good,” he says. “I wanted to get back downtown and this space was the only one that could accommodate the amount of business I do. The feedback from customers is that they really love this place. It’s a good environment and has a great feel to it. It’s not a shopping mall kind of place.” Chu’s Too, a Chinese restaurant and sushi bar owned by Don and Lambo Diep, occupies the space at the southern end of the school building. Having the two dining options “is a nice perk,” says LeClerc. “You can go down and get food at either place. A lot of clients like that.” Parker and his wait staff have served many customers who remember attending Pine Street School, which makes sense, since Cheesecakes’ dining room is in the school’s former gymnasium. Chamberlain says one of her cherished memories from grade school were those special days when kids were allowed to bring money from

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2017

home and walk across Pine Street to the back door of The Shack (now Clearie’s), buy hamburgers wrapped in white paper and take them back to school for lunch. “There were no adults involved. It was just us kids,” Chamberlain recalls. “We’d walk like ducklings to the back door of The Shack,” Shively adds. Other sights and sounds remain fixed in the mind of former students. “I remember highly polished wood floors that the janitor— the tallest man I’d ever seen—would re-polish during Christmas break and I remember long banks of white porcelain water fountains attached to the stucco on the cool north side of the building,” Chamberlain says. Shively has fond memories of days starting with all the students gathering around the flagpole to sing songs like “America the Beautiful” and then dividing off into classrooms to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. “There was a sense of belonging. For many years, there’s been a real camaraderie with people who went to Pine Street School.” •

The Art of Subtle Fillers Fillers have changed incredibly since 1999, when Disappearing Act was founded. Back then, there was only one type: collagen. It didn’t last very long, only a month or two. Now there are several types of safe fillers. Master Injectors have many choices to create a rejuvenated, natural look without compromising longevity or safety. In the last couple of months alone, there are three new fillers and some have a longevity of up to two years!

WHAT GARY BAUER DOES TO CLEAN YOUR ORIENTAL RUG

1. Rugs are first completely immersed in cold, soft water, one rug at a time.

4. Rugs are then hand brushed and groomed to restore natural pile lay. Then they are dried hanging, with heat, air movement and dehumidification in our humidity controlled drying room.

C U RT I S S A LG A D O TO P E R F O R M I N O R OV I L L E AFTER SOME FORTY YEARS OF TOURING, singing and playing the blues harp, Curtis Salgado has earned a reputation for highintensity performances and a repertoire inspired by his encyclopedic knowledge of music. Born in Everett, Wash., his family moved to Eugene, Ore., where his early days included a house full of music, creating the perfect environment to nurture a young singer. “I grew up around music, mostly black music,” says Salgado. “My parents were hip. They listened to Ray Charles and Count Basie, and boogie piano players. I was getting a full-meal deal on the vocalist side of things, too. There’s Joe Williams singing. There’s Jimmy Rushing, ‘Mr. Five by Five.’ I mean, you’re hearing Ray Charles at the age of 9 years old? It hits ya. It moved me.” His dad enjoyed pointing out the finer aspects of the music. “He’d go, ‘Listen to this right here, how Count Basie utilizes space in his piano solos,’” Salgado says. “And there was my older brother and sister,

so all those little Elvis Presley 45s are in the house. And Wilson Pickett comes along. Aretha Franklin. Some great country and western. My brother had the jazz albums. He was deep into it, they were passionate for it, and, of course, it spilled over to me.” By his teens, Salgado was into the Rolling Stones, and from there, he got turned on to Paul Butterfield. “That was the huge one. Wow! It was just mean music. And I read the liner notes: ‘So Paul Butterfield, hmmmm: Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf. Well, if Paul’s into it, let me check it out.’ Bingo. That was it.” Salgado became a part of the burgeoning Northwest blues scene starting in 1972 with a band called Three-Fingered Jack. Eventually he hooked up with up-and-coming guitarist/vocalist Robert Cray and recorded the album “Who’s Been Talking.” In six years with Cray, the higher level of visibility enabled him to sit in with the likes of Muddy Waters, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Albert Collins and Bonnie Raitt.4 continued on page 60

“I put my heart and soul into this record,” Salgado says. “I worked my tail off and let the songs lead the way.” As for the album title, he explains, “During a show one night, I turned to my guitarist and said, ‘Play something lowdown. But make it beautiful.’ Then I thought, ‘Keep that.’” • Curtis Salgado at Blues & Brews Festival May 28, Feather Falls Casino in Oroville 1 pm the Guitarsonists: Chris Cain, Daniel Castro, Mike Schermer 2:45 pm, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood 4:15 pm, Curtis Salgado Band 7 pm, The Yardbirds www.featherfallscasino.com/entertainment

He left the Cray band before it broke through nationally, and from 1984 to 1986, he fronted Boston’s Grammy-winning Roomful of Blues before settling in Portland where he formed The Stilettos with bassist John Mazzocco, a veteran of John Lee Hooker’s Coast to Coast Blues Band. The Stilettos dominated the local music scene, and began to establish a national audience by touring extensively as an opening act for groups like the Steve Miller Band, Doobie Brothers, and appearing at major blues festivals nationwide. He even did a stint as lead vocalist with Santana in the ‘90s. He kicked off his own solo recording career with the record release, “Curtis Salgado & the Stilettos,” in 1991, following it up with “More Than You Can Chew” in 1995. In 2006, he was diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent treatment that included a transplant. Without health insurance to pay for the procedures which were estimated to cost half a million dollars, a series of fundraising events with the support of fans and musicians across the country helped make the life-saving procedures possible. Two years later, he was found to have lung cancer, and following treatment, he was declared cancer-free in time to release his album “Clean Getaway” in 2008. In the fall of 2011, Salgado signed with legendary blues label Alligator Records, and his first album for Alligator, “Soul Shot,” appeared in 2012. That same year, doctors found another cancerous growth on his lung, resulting in surgery, and again a diagnosis of complete recovery. While in recuperation, he wrote songs in earnest and upon re-entering the studio in 2015, he was armed with 17 originals. He pared the set back to 11 of his own tunes plus a cover of Johnny Guitar Watson’s “Hook Me Up,” producing last year’s popular recording “The Beautiful Lowdown,” a blend of classic soul sounds and funk grooves.

LOCAL HISTORY

Golden Days O R O V I L L E P I O N E E R , J U D G E C H A R L E S FAY E T T E L O T T YOUNG MEN living in St. Louis in late 1849 found resisting the California Gold Rush difficult. And so it was with 24-year-old lawyer Charles Lott. As a lad, his parents emigrated west from New Jersey in the hopes of finding more opportunity. Charles did well in school, securing a solid education and preferring advanced studies in law. By 1840, he graduated and felt somewhat satisfied practicing his craft in Illinois. Some accounts state that he met Abraham Lincoln during this time. Yet, like most Americans, he listened and read with interest about James Marshall’s gold discovery at Coloma, Calif., in January 1848. By the end of the year, President James Polk verified the discovery. He flatly stated, “Recent discoveries render it probable that these mines are more extensive and valuable than was anticipated.” That was it; a gold rush was on, and Lott had to be a part of it. In planning his trip to California, Lott heard that the Sierra foothills near Coloma already realized hundreds, probably thousands of miners spreading out in all directions searching for the ideal creek to lay a claim. His overland trip in the summer of 1849 tested his physical and mental faculties. However, he proved equal to the challenge, traveling carefully on the Peter Lassen

Trail and finally down to Long’s Bar, about two miles upstream from what is now the town of Oroville on the Feather River. Lott’s mining endeavors ebbed and flowed, like most miners’. One story recalled that despite the intense competition between miners, civility did prevail. “One time, he rode along a trail in company with others and they saw a pan containing at least $1,000 in gold dust and nuggets on a rock near the trail. Nearly a week later, he passed by a second time, and the pan with its contents of gold was still there, although it is probable that 50 men had passed that way during the week.” Local miners came to respect the young lawyer and prevailed on him to help organize the area into a local government. Butte became one of the original 27 counties mapped out by the new California legislature in February 1850. Miners drawn to Lott’s fair-minded personality and judgments voted him as a first state senator, and he served several terms. Meanwhile, a town, first named Ophir City, later changed to Oroville (gold town), sprang up where navigation naturally stopped upstream on the Feather River. By 1854, a post office opened and Lott4 continued on page 64

purchased a city lot. He also took time away from his work to return to St. Louis where he married Susan Heyer, a Pennsylvania native. Charles and Susan built a large two-story home between Third and Fourth streets and proceeded to have considerable influence in the new town’s growth and direction. In 1869, Lott won election to county judge. After one term, he decided to return to a private law practice and pursue his varied investments in mining and farming. He helped create California’s first citrus exchange. As the years moved along, the Lotts produced three children, one of whom died before her third birthday. They also built onto their impressive home. Susan died in 1902, while Charles lived on until 1918. He was 94.

The Lott home is now called Sank Park and sprawls over an entire city block. The Lott house is considered a city museum, with volunteers providing tours of the Victorian-styled structure. Roses and a wide variety of trees and shrubs separate walk areas and isolated patios. An historic carriage house, large gazebo and picnic area round out the site. Spring and early summer are excellent times to visit. • (530) 538-2406 www.cityoforoville.org, click on “Visitors,” then “Museums”

. C t c u e l t n i v at e . n o C Create. EST. 2015 T E H A M A C O U N T Y ’ S H O P E H AV E N FA R M ANY NUMBER OF ANIMALS might greet a visitor to Hope Haven Farm in the Richfield area of Tehama County. A tiny goat roams freely and cats scurry around the barn. Daisy Mae, a mini Jersey cow, might moo from a nearby field. The show stoppers, though, are three Silkie chickens with long white feathers that fan out and feel like silk or satin. One might be inclined to pet one, and indeed would be welcome. The Silkies were specially selected for their friendly nature, a requirement of animal life at Hope Haven, as well as their stunning beauty. The chickens are calm and patient and seem to delight in being held and loved upon. They were chosen with intention after a foster child visited the farm and became enamored with the fowl. At the time, Hope Haven was populated with the more common Rhode Island Red breed, which wasn’t as amenable to a young child’s hugs. Seeing the need for a more docile breed, owners Mark and Barb Volstad brought in the Silkies. Now, a child may extend love and find it reciprocated and calming. This is just the sort of experience Barb envisioned when she conceived the idea for Hope Haven Farm, a place for respite care for children in the foster system founded on Christmas Eve 2015. She maintains a goal of creating a

sanctuary for kids to connect with animals, cultivate growth through gardening and create dreams through art and music. She does so because the concepts worked for her as a child when circumstances removed her from her own parents. “With all that I went through as a child, hope is what I had the least amount of,” says Barb, recalling the story of her mom’s decline into severe mental illness and her father’s death when she was only 11. She found solace in animals, horses especially, running off as often as possible to her best friend Cindy’s house to go on long trail rides. When her father died, Barb and her sister moved from Redding to Dairyville in Tehama County to live with the Long family, longtime farmers in the area. “They told me the day after the funeral, when we had the garage sale,” relates Barb. “It was very hard for me because I had to leave Cindy and the horses.” She did get to remain with her sister, though, and gained four other siblings in the Long clan. “When I was with the Longs, I had great experiences working on the farm, but we couldn’t have horses because of the orchards,” she says. Instead she would spend hours walking amongst the trees with the family dogs. “Those were just good times for me to process,” she adds. 4 continued on page 68

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Barb’s healing process has been long, buoyed by her husband Mark and their faith journey. The two met at the Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, N.Y., and agree it was love at first sight. Mark, a Norwegian born and raised in Chile, was eager to return to the country as a missionary. Barb had her sights on missionary work in Africa but changed directions after meeting Mark. They married, started a family and tended to Mark’s ministry, first in Chile and more recently in Chico at La Iglesia Cristo Salva. At age 50, Barb made her bucket list trip to Uganda and began focusing on the next stage of her life. She’d always loved animals and had been a nanny to many children over the years. Her “a-ha” moment came when she realized she could combine the two in the form of a place like Hope Haven Farm. Once the decision was made, things fell into place swiftly. Their home in Chico sold to the first couple that saw it. The journey through the driveway of the Richfield property gave Barb shivers. She knew it would be meant to be. Daughter Lydia, a vet technician, found a litter of kittens in the barn and knew they’d found the perfect new home. Not much later, gentle child-friendly horses were donated to the family. “This is going to be my full-time job,” says Barb. “On this end, it all looks so ideal. But depending on how old they are, I can tell them my story. And they can feel it.” At this, Mark’s eyes tear up and he says to her, “You’ve been with me all these years in ministry and now I want to support you in making your dreams come true.” “It brings me so much joy because this is the childhood I would have loved to have,” says Barb. “Now I get to make it happen for someone else.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

DRAMA TEACHER BENNETT GALE THE GOLDEN EAGLE CHARTER SCHOOL on the outskirts of Mount Shasta packs in a lot of activity in its half dozen or so rooms – from English classes to woodworking, jazz band to ocean ecology. On this particular morning, the school’s drama teacher, Bennett Gale, coaches a dozen students on the fine points of stage movement while a student toots on his saxophone in an adjoining room. Outside the classroom, a couple of students trace whimsical figures on the room’s frosty windows while people wander in and out of the classroom in seemingly random fashion. While all this is going on, Gale and his students manage to focus on the task at hand: Rehearsals for an upcoming production of “War Of The Worlds,” the 1938 radio drama that scared the country half out of its wits with a realistic portrayal of an invasion by space aliens. Gale plays the role of both teacher and director here. He likes to give his students free rein to come up with their own ideas on such

things as set design and costuming. “I call it ‘leading from the back of the room,’ letting these kids learn about theater by doing it themselves,” Gale says. While he’s serious about the craft of theater and the lessons he has to impart, Gale laces those lessons with wit and humor, while tossing in some general life lessons along the way: “Remember, guys, the woman is always right. Knowing that will save you a lot of angst in the years to come.” The mood is light but purposeful, the students engaged in the process but having fun at the same time. When it comes to the core stuff, stage movement and delivering lines, Gale, a professional actor, hones in on every gesture, every inflection of voice, on the pauses that can enhance the comic or dramatic impact of a single line.4 continued on page 72

MAY 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

As he tells his students, “It’s the small details that make the difference between ‘pretty good high school play’ and ‘a superior production.’” Today he spends a lot of time showing two of his actors, Madigan Adamson and Guinevere Robinson, the precise movements and voice inflections that will milk one single line, “There’s a small problem,” for maximum comic impact. Gale, in the role of demanding director, has them go over and over it until he’s satisfied they’ve got it just right. Over the past six years, starting with Golden Eagle, Gale has expanded his teaching efforts to include schools in Butteville, Montague and Dunsmuir. He shares with his students a craft he’s honed over many years, but there’s more to it than that, something that has to do with life skills in general: “Success in life depends a lot on communication skills,” he says, “and the essence of theater is communication.” It’s also about teamwork or, as Gale, puts it, “co-creating with others.” And there’s the self-confidence and self-esteem that comes from overcoming stage fright, memorizing lines and learning to deliver them effectively. Dave Theno, Golden Eagle’s program manager, says about Gale’s drama classes: “Over the past six years, it’s been gratifying to see our students’ skills develop hand in hand with their sense of camaraderie and shared commitment to acting. Bennett’s drama program is a real asset to our school.” For Brenden Short, a Golden Eagle senior who’s taken Gale’s class for the past four years, it was a chance to overcome his shyness, “to break out of my shell.” He’s gone well beyond that, and has served as a volunteer stage manager for several productions of Gale’s New Frontier Theatre Company, which will stage “Midsummer Night’s Dream” this summer in Dunsmuir. “The things you learn in drama class can definitely be applied to other things in life,” says Short. “You learn how to act around other people, how to control your emotions, how to be better controlled in any situation you have to deal with.” • “War Of The Worlds” Golden Eagle Charter School, 2405 S.

CASCADING

Falls A H I G H WAY 2 9 9 WAT E R FA L L TO U R

STRETCHING THE WIDTH of California from the coast of Arcata to the desert of Nevada, Highway 299 winds through national forests, lakes and rivers. Since many travelers just try to get from one place to the other, many don’t realize that incredible waterfalls off the beaten path match some of the best waterfalls in the world. So the next time you’re traveling along Highway 299 in the dead of summer, consider pulling off and taking a dip at one of these Northern California wonders (from west to east): BLUE LAKE/MAD RIVER: There are plenty of swimming holes in these sleepy Humboldt County towns and some fun rapids for whitewater rafters. Campgrounds line the freshwater tributaries with fishing opportunities and the Pacific Ocean is a short drive away. THE WATERFALLS OF WHISKEYTOWN: Whiskeytown Lake is a popular summertime retreat for activities from sailing to wakeboarding to fishing. But the many hiking trails around it also lead to gorgeous flowing cascades. • Whiskeytown Falls: This 220-foot waterfall was a secret for decades. You can now reach it on a 3.4-mile moderate to difficult round-trip trail. • Brandy Creek: This 3-mile round trip trail loop takes hikers to one of Whiskeytown’s wider waterfalls, featuring five

20-foot torrents gliding over granite rocks and pooling into a sapphire blue pond. • Boulder Creek: Standing at about 138 feet, this 5.5- mile hiking loop leads to one of Whiskeytown’s taller waterfalls. Although getting there is more for advanced hikers, once you arrive at the cascading waters embedded in moss and ferns, you may feel like you are in another world. • Crystal Creek: As the only man-made cascade in Whiskeytown built to divert water from Trinity River to the lake (and eventually end up in the Sacramento River), water enthusiasts can take a leisurely 1-mile roundtrip trail to get there and play in the natural water rock slides. HATCHET CREEK: Located just east of Redding heading toward Burney, a couple of waterfall gems can be found in the Montgomery Creek area, including the 46-foot-high, two-tiered cascade off Cove Road called Hatchet Creek Falls. Also referred to as Lion Slide Falls, a giant felled tree propped up against the side acts like a ladder for people to jump into the forest green pool below.4 continued on page 76

chawsyc2a99ding aterfal flowing

swimming w POTEM FALLS: Also part of the ShastaTrinity National Forest and within the Montgomery Creek area, Potem Falls is a hidden jewel accessing the Shasta Lake’s Pit 7 reservoir. After winding down Fenders Ferry Road (after Round Mountain and before Montgomery Creek), pavement turns to dirt before you come across a pullout and the entrance to a quarter-mile-long trail. Walking along the switchbacks, dense trees and pretty ferns, you soon end up at the base of a 70-foot waterfall. Since the falls are mostly shaded, the swimming waters are a bit chilly but perfect on a 100-degree day. A rope swing sits to the left of the waterfall for those brave enough to try it out. BURNEY FALLS: A few more miles east on 299 and you reach the famous Burney Falls. Located within the McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park and nestled in the appropriately named Cascade mountain range, this 129-foot waterfall pours down into a misty basin. Regarded as one of Northern California’s most beautiful sights, Burney is a must-see on your Highway 299 waterfall tour.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2017

FALL RIVER: Pit River is the longest tributary of the Sacramento River and feeds most of its water into Lake Shasta. Fall River Mills is also where the Pit and the Fall rivers join and where hydroelectricity is produced. Tucked deep into the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, the waterfalls along the Fall River are easily viewable from vista points along the highway. It’s best to stop, stretch, admire the view and continue on to your next watering hole. After you pass Fall River traveling toward Nevada, you’ll cross plenty of small streams on Highway 299 but few accessible waterfalls. However, if you’re traveling across the state in the middle of summer and have some time to kill, there are some cool spots in which to stop and splash around. Just remember that cell phone service can be scarce (so always take a buddy), you may want a 4WD vehicle to get to some locations, and hiking/jumping/ diving/climbing on rocks/swimming is at your own risk. •

W H AT ’ S B E H I N D T H E S L E E P I N G M I N D DID YOU DREAM LAST NIGHT? Even if you don’t remember it, the answer is probably yes. And you probably have recurring dreams, or dream about the same things as friends and family. Researchers think they know why we dream, and even what items in your diet make you dream more. I’ve had some pretty weird and vivid dreams lately (I still don’t understand the gas pump monster), so I started to really dig in to the whys and hows of dreaming. If we are in REM, or dream sleep, scientists say more than 80 percent of us are actively dreaming. Age also factors into how much you dream: Elderly adults are in dream sleep only about 15 percent of the time, typical adults register about 25 percent of the time, and children are just over 50 percent. Also, if you’ve ever wondered if your dog or cat is really dreaming, studies say they definitely are. Although we’re all different, the themes of our dreams are very similar. The top dreams reported are: • Being attacked • School related • Falling • Being unable to run/move • Thinking someone alive is dead/someone dead is alive • Doing the same thing over and over • Flying • Food • Swimming/being underwater I pored over many, many top reported dreams lists, and the dream about being naked in a public place didn’t even make the top 10. Recount, please! As far as WHY we dream, there are multiple theories. Some scientists predict it’s your brain working with the rest of your body to heal and make repairs. That could mean interpreting your daily stress and problems and acting as a coping defense. Others feel it’s a way to etch experiences permanently in your memory, kind of like saving to a computer’s hard drive. Those who had the most REM sleep seemed to have better memory and recall. Last, it may be your body’s way to regularly test its own neural connections and keep your mental superhighways clear of obstructions. Many celebrities and musicians credit ideas to their dreams. Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and a Beatle or two can thank their subconscious for creative works. Paul McCartney says he wrote the melody to “Yesterday” after he dreamt, woke up, and went to the piano to play it.

Most of us have noticed that things we ingest can seriously affect our dreams. Think about those crazy, really vivid dreams after taking NyQuil, having a few drinks or eating certain food items. Vitamins, specifically B vitamins, can dramatically increase your REM sleep and dream time. Ditto for Vitamin C and melatonin. Certain common herbs, including St. John’s Wort, valerian root, lavender, chamomile, peppermint, cinnamon and gingko biloba may help/make you dream more. Your sleep patterns are also commonly altered by alcohol, coffee (caffeine) and tobacco products. If you have a hard time recalling your dreams or want to investigate what they could mean, put a pen and paper on your night stand and write down everything you can recall from the dream immediately after you wake up. A number of websites and encyclopedic dream books are devoted to dissecting what our minds come up with while we slumber. If you find an explanation for a gas pump monster, let me know… Sweet dreams! •

STUFFED SHELLS ENCHILADAS Want enchiladas, but you don’t have tortillas? Check your pantry for pasta shells. This is a fun and different preparation, and the presentation is unexpected. Using rotisserie chicken and canned corn and beans makes this a very quick, easy meal for dinner. It is great for busy work nights and perfect for those potlucks on the calendar. This recipe is also easy to make as a vegetarian recipe - just omit the chicken.

Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add shells and cook for 9 minutes. While the shells cook, spray a baking dish with a nonstick spray and prepare a large bowl of iced water. Once shells are cooked, drain with slotted spoon and place in the bowl of iced water to chill. Once chilled, drain and place the shells in the baking dish. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and set aside.

STEP 3: Divide filling and spoon into each of the cooked pasta shells, carefully placing back into the baking dish. Repeat process to fill the remaining shells. STEP 4: Pour enchilada sauce liberally over stuffed shells, top with remaining grated cheese and place into the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with garnishes.

STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 2 oz. each of both the cheddar and the Monterey Jack cheeses, and the remaining ingredients up to the sauce. Using a fork, gently mix ingredients with the cheese and spices until incorporated.

FIESTA FUN OF

L AT I N O O U T R E A C H O F T E H A M A C O U N T Y ’ S F R E E C I N C O D E M AYO E V E N T THE LATINO OUTREACH of Tehama County’s activities promote health, cultural awareness and family fun – and everyone is welcome. “I think the common misconception is that Cinco de Mayo is only for Hispanics or Latinos, but the services we provide can be for anybody,” says Sofia Trejo-Harris, secretary for the group and co-chair of its annual Cinco de Mayo event. The organization began in 1996 as the Hispanic Outreach of Tehama County. However, the name changed to Latino Outreach of Tehama County when it was recognized with 501(c)3 status on September 8, 2001. “We’re a 100 percent volunteer-run organization. We don’t have any paid staff, which makes us pretty unique. We volunteer our time and all the members do,” says Fernando Villegas, board member and chair of the Cinco de Mayo event. “So what we offer is our networking through our outreach events, promoting health and services for free or low-cost to the community.” Staying healthy is an important conversation, since according to the Centers for Disease Control, Hispanic people are 50 percent more likely to die from diabetes or liver disease than Caucasians. These educational activities aim to help people lower their risk. The free Cinco de Mayo event started in 1998, and Villegas has been involved since 1999. Entertainment begins at 11 am and includes youth performers, Native American drummers, Aztec dancers, dancing horses, the local U-Jam group, an array of food and much more, says Villegas.

The event will also include a mobile health clinic, which will involve a healthy cooking demonstration, an “Each Mind Matters” photo booth to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness, and information for the community in both Spanish and English. Free car seat safety checks will be offered in the parking lot by California Highway Patrol. “This truly is a family-oriented event where the whole family can come and enjoy a fun day of activities,” Villegas says of the alcohol-, tobaccoand drug-free event. Community partners including Rolling Hills, Greenville Rancheria, Head Start, Northern Valley Catholic Social Service and other health agencies will showcase their services. Along with the annual Cinco de Mayo event, Latino Outreach of Tehama County puts on a health fair in October and provides college scholarships for students. High school seniors who are enrolled in college may apply for the scholarship, as long as they provide their transcripts and proof that they are enrolled. “Last year we gave out $2,000 in scholarships, which is pretty awesome because we’re so small,” TrejoHarris says. “There were three Corning students and one Los Molinos student who got the scholarships for $500 each.” Grants and fundraising pay for the scholarships. The October health fair, which also includes health screenings and booths run by health agencies, is held in Corning, while the Cinco de Mayo event is in Red Bluff “so we can serve both sides of the county,” says Trejo-Harris. Trejo-Harris and Villegas agree that the focus of Latino Outreach of Tehama County is giving back to the community and “keeping our kids safe and making safe communities in Tehama County,” Villegas says. • Free Cinco de Mayo event • May 6 • 11 am-5 pm Tehama District Fairgrounds • 650 Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff (530) 200-2848 • www.latinooutreach.net Find them on Facebook
