What would you rather do…Conduct a Board Meeting… sit around a table looking at charts and listen to your boss impress you with 8 syllable words or meet your friends around a black jack table and listen to exhilarating laughter while watching your buddy do his best impressions of your boss.

Grab your coworkers and friends and come play a round of Texas Shootout, Black Jack or Three Card Poker. Or take your pick of our 800 slot machines. It’s always better to play at Rolling Hills Casino.

RAIN

In the North State, April nights are nothing but cool – but so are the mornings and afternoons. Ready to plan your next adventure?

Northern California is filled with locations to enjoy geocaching, a high-tech version of treasure hunting. Some spots are as easy as a roadside stop, while others require intense skills like rock-climbing. Whatever your skill level, all you need is a GPS and a sense of curiosity to get hunting.

brought to you by

InHouse Marketing & Design Yvonne Mazzotta publisher Michelle Adams publisher Ronda Ball managing editor Amy Holtzen graphic designer Kerri Regan copy editor James Mazzotta advertising sales representative/ photography/new business developer Michael O’Brien advertising sales representative Suzanne Birch advertising sales representative

The promise of tomorrow lies with today’s youth, and Expect More Tehama’s goal is for all students to graduate from high school and be ready for higher education. “We want to help young people today discover what their passions are to prepare for the higher education they need for meaningful careers, whether that’s a certificate program, trade school or degree from Stanford,” says Kate Grissom.

Speaking of youth, some local teens are bridging the generation gap to help with the second annual “The Really Senior Prom,” which gives elders the opportunity to either relive their high school prom or to experience it for the first time. “There were people who told us that they had never gone to their own high school prom because they had quit school to join the war effort. Some ladies were already married with kids and the prom just didn’t fit their lifestyle anymore,” says Lisa Ferguson of Shasta High. Proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels.

In Red Bluff, April is all about the Round Up. Meet John Growney, a fifth-generation Tehama County resident whose hallmark in the rodeo business was the world champion Red Rock, who catapulted Growney Brothers and the sport of rodeo to national recognition in 1998. “I’m the product of a town called Red Bluff, which made me who I am today and made sure I was successful, because the journey I chose was an almost impossible one – to become a rodeo stock contractor,” Growney says.

Classic cars take center stage this month, but racing enthusiasts also have a place to gather - Thunderhill Raceway Park near Willows is a three-mile, 15-turn course that attracts road-racing fans from all over the western United States. The Shasta Region Porsche Club takes a slightly different approach, as its 66 members (and tagalong friends) hit the open road each month.

Draw inspiration from these explorers… whether you prefer a fast or slow pace, we invite you to get out and enjoy our wondrous North State!

man z anita lake C amping cabins in L assen park A layer of ice covers Manzanita Lake, the landscape still draped with winter’s snowy blanket. Perhaps you hear the whisper of a bird flying overhead, or the rustle of snow falling from the trees. Beyond that? Pure stillness.

Soon, however, this snow-cloaked sanctuary will melt into a bustling summer paradise for visitors to the brand-new Manzanita Lake Camping Cabins. For the first time since 1972, cabins will be available for rent inside Lassen Volcanic National Park.

The 20 rustic cabins near the park’s northwest entrance offer an experience that’s a hybrid of camping and a more traditional cabin.

Inside, you’ll find beds, a table and chairs, a propane heater to keep you warm and a lantern to light your way. Outside, a bear-proof locker will protect your s’mores supplies (and whatever other food you consider essential to a campout). There’s a fire ring and a picnic table so you can enjoy your meals al fresco. Central restrooms and showers are nearby.

If you’d like to check some items off your packing list, an extra fee gets you the “camper package,” which includes a cook stove, additional lantern, pots and pans, utensils, a cooler, wood, ice, a s’mores kit and sleeping bags.

“A number of people have expressed that they love camping but don’t want to do tents anymore,” says Sue Fischer, who manages these cabins and Manzanita Lake Camper Service Store for California Guest Services with her husband, Bob. “It’s a population that’s looking to get off the ground and into something cleaner at night, but they still enjoy the outdoor part of the experience.”

Another trend Fischer has already seen is people reserving several cabins at a time to accommodate a large group of family and friends.

A Bay Area school has rented a group of cabins for students and chaperones in September, she says. Options include one- and tworoom cabins ($57 and $81 per night, respectively) and bunk houses ($81), which feature four sets of bunk beds. 

April 2011 Enjoy 15

Cabins near Manzanita Lake were removed in the 1970s, but the area has remained popular for campers. Although the cabins won’t open until June, three weekends in July are already fully booked.

“A lot of people have said to me, ‘I’m so happy there are cabins – I remember them as a young person.’ Lots of people are coming down Memory Lane,” Fischer says.

Visitors will hail from near and far. Many North State residents enjoy Lassen as a quick and easy getaway, but folks have come from around the world to visit; indeed, Frommer’s named Lassen Park one of the world’s top 12 destinations in 2009. The park, created after President Teddy Roosevelt dedicated two monuments there in 1907, was hailed by the travel guidebook for its numerous recreational opportunities.

“As you drive through the park, you see everything from meadows and water and waterfalls to very volcanic scenery,” Fischer says. All four types of volcanoes can be found in the park – cinder cone, shield, composite and lava dome.

It’s also quite popular with photographers, equestrians and bicyclists. “There aren’t many places you can bike to over 8,000 feet,” she says.

And naturally, it’s a “hiker’s paradise,” she says. “There’s everything from a hike that a 2-year-old to an 80-year-old could do very easily, all the way to a much more sophisticated hike, like going up to the peak,” Fischer says. Getting to Lassen Peak isn’t a cakewalk, but a 16 Enjoy April 2011

broad spectrum of folks can do it. “You don’t have to be a mountain climber.”

On Manzanita Lake, visitors can kayak, swim and fish (catch-andrelease only).

As a quiet spring turns into a busy summer, Fischer envisions more of what she affectionately calls “Disneyland days.”

“There are people everywhere – sitting on every stump, sitting at the table, having a soft-serve ice cream,” Fischer says. “It’s a fun place to be, a happy place. Our goal is to make it an outstanding experience for the guest. When people walk out the door, we want them to say, ‘Wow, what a great weekend.’” • www.lassenrecreation.com Reservations: www.recreation.gov (For special requests or questions, email manzanitalake@calparksco.com) (877) 444-6777 Winter phone (Nov-April): 530-200-4578 Summer phone (May-Oct): 530-335-7557

Community

a strong foundation the shasta regional communit y foundation

Do you really think we can make this happen?

That’s what a group of community members said in 1997 when they met at the Grant and Resource Center of Northern California to discuss forming the Shasta Regional Community Foundation.

Kathy Anderson, who was then director of the Grant and Resource Center and is now the CEO of the Foundation, laughs when she talks about it. “The foundations in the Bay Area didn’t know we were here,” she says. “People in the community were calling and asking, ‘Where should I leave my money?’ The need seemed obvious.”

The Foundation works with donors who want to give in a formal way. “We help people direct their philanthropy,” says Anderson. “We are community advised so we are better able to serve the needs of the community and are able to keep local control over grant funding. To be a good steward, you need to be relevant and responsive.”

The Foundation, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, awarded its first grant of $1,500 to Legal Services of Northern California in 2000 and has been growing stronger ever since. The Foundation now has $11 million in assets and Anderson expects that number to double in the next five years. “We had no idea 10 years ago that it would look like this,” Anderson says. “The industry says it should have taken the Foundation 16 years to grow to the size it is now.”

Each of the more than 700 community foundations in the nation look and operate differently, she April 2011 Enjoy 19

says. “There’s a saying in the community foundation business: ‘If you’ve seen one community foundation, you’ve seen one community foundation.’ They should each reflect their community,” she says.

The Foundation’s volunteer board of directors includes experts in finance, property management, investment, law and public relations, all of whom have deep ties to Shasta and Siskiyou counties.

The Shasta Regional Community Foundation works with other local foundations, such as Redding Rancheria Community Fund, Mercy Foundation North, the Shasta College Foundation and The McConnell Foundation, to be sure that resources are used most effectively to benefit the community. “Private foundations trust community foundations to help them distribute money,” Anderson says.

When a veterans’ group came to the Foundation frustrated that the state of California made no provision for irrigating the Northern California Veterans Cemetery, the Foundation researched the issue and found no statute saying cemeteries need to be irrigated. So they gave the veterans a platform they needed to go out and raise the $200,000 required to provide an ongoing irrigation fund.

The Foundation also works with such as Leadership Redding, The Women’s Fund and ARTicipate. Though the Foundation is the umbrella organization, Leadership Redding has a five-member panel to decide where to put funding. The Women’s Fund is building its own endowment and is now able to offer grants, and ARTicipate aims to build an endowment for the arts with $150,000 in matching 20 Enjoy April 2011

BY THE NUMBERS:

• Awarded more than $8.2 million in grants • Supported more than 1,600 nonprofits and school projects • Received more than 8,000 donations from the generous people of our communities • Awarded more than 425 college scholarships • Helped more than 144 individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit groups open funds at the Foundation

funds from the James Irvine Foundation. Presently, the Foundation administers more than 100 charitable funds for the community.

Anderson is very proud of the work she and so many others have done to build the Foundation. Her plan is to retire on April 29. She can retire knowing she has helped create and build an organization that is playing a vital role in enriching the community and is poised to grow stronger over the next 10 years.

Melinda Brown, executive director of People of Progress, describes the staff at the Foundation as “exceptionally gracious, smart as a whip and very professional.” People of Progress has received a number of grants over the past 10 years. Brown also says that because of the connections she made at a workshop hosted by the Foundation, she was able to cut People of Progress’ workers’ compensation costs by 50 percent.

Anderson says the challenge is that the Foundation can’t be everything to everyone, yet the list of what they do is impressive. To learn more, visit www.shastarcf.org. •

Dubbed “the touringest region” early on, they were granted charter membership in the Porsche Club of America in 1979. According to club President Ralph Dacy, “Our primary focus is to enjoy our Porsches and people, and partake in the splendor of snow-covered mountains, raging rivers, pristine lakes, breathtaking canyons, enchanting forests and miles of well-maintained ‘Porsche roads’.”

They come from as far south as Butte County and as far north as Siskiyou County. From Weaverville to Susanville, the Shasta region covers a lot of territory with roads Dacy says he didn’t know existed, passing through charming little towns where they often stop to eat if it is anywhere near lunchtime. Sometimes as many as 30 or more cars caravan through the North State, flashing their  April July 2010 2011 Enjoy 25

“As Porsche roads beckon, club members look for opportunities to follow their passion and join with others who share it.” headlights at other drivers who pass in their Porsches, a tradition acknowledging “the kindred spirit of those who share an appreciation for one of the best-engineered cars in the world.”

Monthly dinner meetings incorporate food, fun and a bit of business. During the February meeting at Marie Callender’s in Redding, lively banter filled the back room as members caught up after the holiday hiatus. Camaraderie abounding and personal friendships rekindled, car talk dominated the conversations. Though not required, most members drive to the meetings in their Porsches (pronounced por’shuh) and meet and greet in the parking lot, admiring each other’s cars, sharing tips and exchanging technical information. Old business reviewed, new plans assessed, the club launched its new year with high hopes for sun-kissed days on the road, their tops down and their wheels humming.

New Tourmeister (official title is Competition Chair) JD Hansen has put together a calendar for 2011 that promises delightful day trips for those who like open highways as well as the wilder bunch who love to hug the curves on twisty back roads. A couple of overnighters every year offer the challenge of packing light while traveling to further destinations. Dr. Jerry Nystrom planned the tours from 2000-2010. Last year’s highlight took the Porsche clubbers to Napa to visit several wineries, ending at Palmaz Winery with a tour of the vintner’s private collection of rare Porsches. This year’s longdistance road trips include a drive to California’s north coast for a couple of days at a resort overlooking the ocean, and an overnighter to Medford with a scenic drive to Crater Lake.

Active members engage with one another not only during dinner meetings and tours, but while giving back to various causes.

They faithfully participate in Shasta County’s yearly Foster Family Christmas Carnival. Several manned phones during the KIXE auction. And recently, contributions were made from their charitable 26 Enjoy April 2011

fund to the Good News Rescue Mission and the newly built chapel at the Veterans Cemetery in Igo. White collar, blue collar, farmers and lawyers, young and youngat-heart… they love their cars and love the view from behind the wheel. Duane Spencer, President Emeritus and past president from 1999 to 2003, epitomizes those who appreciate the technical side of the love affair with Porsches. He worked for Volkswagen in the early 1980s where he first developed his love affair with Porsches. After moving to the North State, where he has designed and manufactured specialized Porsche parts, Spencer revived the club after a period of inactivity. On the other hand, Deb Lanford, current treasurer, is a more recent member and devotee. She simply loves the looks of her car and the pleasure of driving it with husband Dave as her passenger.

Lanford is content to leave mechanical aspects to professionals.

“As Porsche roads beckon,” club members look for opportunities to follow their passion and join with others who share it. Their website, sha.pca.org, provides a variety of forums, including articles written by members who offer advice and information to enhance the care and upkeep of their cars. With a link to the national organization website (pca.org), access to more Porsche-related activities and information is available for truly dedicated car owners.

It’s a diverse group of men and women. New members are always welcome. • http://sha.pca.org Sandie Tillery writes about the North State from 35 years of personal experience exploring it from corner to corner with husband John, their three grown children and four grandsons.

Story: Jim Dyar

Looking at the icky side of science Most venues that have hosted the touring children’s science exhibit, “Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body,” have discovered that visitors have been more engrossed than grossed out.

In many areas, it has translated into another type of “gross” – as in profits. The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry set its highest attendance record with the exhibit by more than 100,000 visitors. Museums in cities including St. Louis, Chicago, St. Paul and Vancouver, British Columbia, all saw attendance projections surpassed by large percentages.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park hopes for similar results when the exhibit opens April 28 in its main museum building in Redding.

The 5,000-square-foot exhibit includes such accoutrements as a vomit center, a slide through a three-dimensional digestive system, gas attack pinball and a skin climbing wall.

What kid (or adult for that matter) wouldn’t enjoy firing dirt balls into a larger-than-life nose to learn how boogers are formed?

“The interactive nature engages kids for longer and gives them more time to get the information,” says Julia Cronin, curator of collections and exhibits at Turtle Bay. “We saw this with (the exhibit) ‘Scoop on Poop’ and are seeing it with ‘Sustainable Choices.’ Aside from having a great educational message, this exhibit is a great way for a family to spend time together sharing information.”

The exhibit is based on the 1995 best-selling book “Grossology,” by former science teacher Sylvia Branzei. It features more than 20 interactive displays that show how the human body works. The show doesn’t shy away from the mushy, oozy, crusty, stinky things the body produces; however, the displays created by Advanced Animations of Stockbridge, Vt., tend to be more 28 Enjoy April 2011

alluring than they are repulsive.

The exhibit’s creators understand how playful marketing concepts can be extremely effective. The exhibit is rated G for “gross, totally gross.” One of the interactive displays is called “Urine: The Game” and features video cameras, trackballs and TV monitors that display the visitor's image as he or she attempts to carry out the kidney's job of removing waste products from the body. Another display is basically an oversized version of the popular board game “Operation.”

Turtle Bay brought the exhibit in a month early to assure that it accommodated North State school programs, Cronin says. The exhibit is being sponsored by Shasta Regional Medical Center and will remain on display through Sept. 5.

Though “Grossology” was created with kids in mind, bigger kids certainly haven’t shied away from the exhibit in other cities.

“I think adults will love it,” Cronin says. “It is full of interesting facts and information presented in a fun way. Based on what we are hearing from our guests, a lot of adults like the ‘gross’ side of science as much as kids do.”

Similar to “A T-rex Named Sue” and “Titanic,” “Grossology” is a ticketed exhibition. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children and seniors (in addition to park admission). For more information, visit www.turtlebay.org.

Grossology is presented by Shasta Regional Medical Center, with special support from U.S. Bank and additional support from Redding Anatomic Pathology & Nuclear Medicine Associates. In addition, numerous local doctors are supporting elements of the exhibition directly related to their specialties.

Jim Dyar is also a contributing writer for Food For Thought: A News Cafe (www.anewscafe.com) and a former arts and entertainment editor at the Record Searchlight. He’s also a musician and a fan of vehicles with two wheels.

“Last Year over 350,000 people died from the same cause…”

Dear Friend It’s hard to believe, I know, but it’ true. Last year, more Americans were killed by prescription drugs than by guns, AIDS, suicides and terrorists combined… But we will get to that in a minute.

Ten years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. A long time family friend called and told me she had terrible pain shooting down her leg, not to mention headaches so bad she had to take eight Advil a day just to make it through work and she was beginning to have digestive trouble (probably due to all the Advil). After I did an examination and took some films, I adjusted her spine and put her on a corrective care plan.

Immediately things began to happen. The pain in her leg was gone and within a few weeks she wasn’t having the headaches. And since Advil was a thing of the past, Mexican food was back. But even more amazing was her cat allergies that had bothered her since childhood seemed to vanish and she hadn’t used an inhaler for symptoms of asthma in years!

She could now live her life without the limits of pain and sickness. I say this experienced changed my life because this wonderful friend became my wife and mother of my children. Seeing the difference those simple, specific adjustments made in her life has made me confident and passionate in my profession which is chiropractic.

Now as for my children, Kennedy, Madison, and Patrick, they were adjusted within the first hour of birth. They obviously didn’t complain about neck pain or back pain, I adjusted them to keep them healthy…as with all the hundreds of children I care for in my office. You see, it’s not normal for kids to get ear infections, asthma, allergies or a number of other illnesses we see clear up in my office everyday.

When the nervous system is working correctly, your internal resistance and healing powers are enhanced.

A healthy family does not rely on medication to make them well. My family does not take medication to seek health and we don’t have a “medicine chest” in our home. Due to years of advertising saturation from the pharmaceutical companies, most Americans seek health from outside-in and most families have a “medicine chest” filled with an average of 16 different medications. In an average year, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports over 2.2 million US hospital patients experienced adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to prescribed medications. Approximately 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed annually in the US, while approximately 8.9 million Americans are hospitalized unnecessarily. Last year, the WHO reported 783,936 deaths due to medications people took… and 160,000 were when the drugs were prescribed correctly. More people died last year from medication than at Pearl Harbor and Vietnam. Amazing, huh?

If drugs make people well, then those who take the most should be the healthiest, but this simply isn’t the case.

Many people are beginning to understand that health comes from within. This is why chiropractic helps so many people. You see, GOD created a body that can heal itself. Your body doesn’t need any help: it just can’t have any interference. With Chiropractic, we don’t add anything to the body, or take anything from it. We find interference in the nervous system and remove it, thus enhancing the healing capabilities of the body. We get tremendous

results…it really is as simple as that.

Here’s what some of our patients have to say: “I originally came in because of back problems.

I told Dr. Kremer of my seizures-grandmal and petitemal. I have had seizures for over 40 years. I had seen many physicians and neurologists with no results in 40 years. The medications only covered symptoms and made things unpredictable. In seeing Dr. Kremer, I have had only 3 seizures, very, very mild ones, in 3 years and have found I have a normal life, to be able to do ordinary things without fear. I can ride a horse again and take long walks.”

(S. Cook) “I had back and neck pains. In the early 1990’s it was caused by hard work and old age. It was severe enough I couldn’t sleep at times. My results with Dr. Kremer have been great! Dr. Kremer’s treatments have kept me from having back surgery. It’s great not to have so much pain.” (K. Bennett) “I had back and hip problems for about four to five years after I slipped on some cooking grease and have had problems with my back going out disabling

Kremer Family Chiropractic Scott Kremer, D.C. • Doug Falke, D.C. 1615 Main Street Red Bluff, CA 96080 530-527-0220

me from walking or even moving at all at times. I also had allergies and asthma that was making me prone to ear infections and severe colds. I had never been treated by another physician or chiropractor. My mother-in-law referred me to Dr. Kremer. Over time, I have had an increase in mobility, my ear infections have stopped, and less intense allergies.” (D. Retzalf) Being a chiropractor can be tough because there’s a host of so called experts out there. They tell people a lot of things that are just plain ridiculous about our profession…usually it’s “My neighbor’s sister’s friend said…” Let me ask you, do you make your health care decisions based on honest facts or biased opinions?

Interesting question, isn’t it?

NOW… Find out for yourself and benefit from our AMAZING OFFER. Look, it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you might as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you mention this article within 2 weeks of receiving this offer, you’ll receive our entire new patient exam for $17. That’s our full exam, with x-rays… the whole ball of wax.

This exam would cost you $239 any other time.

Further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know, that I have affordable family plans. You see I’m not trying to seduce you to come and see me with the low startup fees, only to make it up with high fees after that. Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctors. Hight costs can add up very quickly. By federal law, this offer excludes Medicare and Medi-cal beneficiaries.

Great care at a great fee. Please, I hope there is no misunderstanding about the quality of care just because I am offering a lower exam fee. I utilize several different adjusting techniques in my office to better serve you. If you prefer manual techniques or Activator, it makes no difference to me. I’m here to serve you and to make a difference in your life. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to 98 year olds for over 10 years now. I’m just offering this low fee to help more people.

Our assistants are great and absolutely full of love.

Our offices are both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.

We have a wonderful service offered at an exceptional fee with two different locations to serve you. We are open six days each week. Call today for an appointment! We can help you.

We Listen, We Care, We Get Results.

Thank You. Dr. Scott Kremer Chiropractor for Children and Adults P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am offering the second family member this same examination for only $10.

G eocaching in N orthern C alifornia

In the heights of the Castle Crags above Dunsmuir, there is a cave full of $20 gold pieces. Native Americans attacked an Army mule train, taking bags of gold coins destined for Army payrolls farther north and storing them in a cave. One of the last of this tribe, a woman named Nancy would disappear up Castle Creek and return with gold coins. No one ever pried the location from her lips. The secret died with Nancy in 1912.

The treasure cache is now a legend and the pursuit of treasure hunters.

In 2008, Tony and Lora Grass of Dunsmuir were visited by a friend who announced he was going out for an afternoon of geocaching. Armed with his GPS unit, he set out for the Sacramento River in Dunsmuir.

He returned discouraged, showing Tony a handful of clues to a treasure cache. Tony offered his help, and the two went to Hedge Creek Falls and returned having found the treasure. “We thought, this is just weird and nerdy. Who would want to do this? We didn’t get it,” says Lora. “But Tony was so excited after having gone out his first time.” 

April July 2010 2011 Enjoy 31

Geocaching is a high-tech version of treasure hunting. Enthusiasts hide small objects and make the map coordinates available online.

Hunters use small GPS units to locate the caches. Inside, they find a log book to record their discovery as well as a trinket to take, leaving behind a trinket of their own for the next hunter to find.

“The next time we visited our son in Grass Valley, we took along a GPS unit and a list of 20 caches between Dunsmuir and our destination,” says Lora. “After you find your first cache, you’re hooked.” Thousands of caches are hidden around the country.

Northern California is filled with locations, some as easy as a roadside stop, while others require the hunter to have rock-climbing or scubadiving skills. Sometimes the caches will include information about the area, including facts unknown to locals.

Geocaching is a sport for anyone. Some caches are listed as wheelchair accessible. The range of difficulty is listed along with the cache coordinates. The Grasses often take their granddaughter, Lucy, who enjoys carrying a bag of prizes and exchanging the prize found with a new one. Sometimes someone who is not hunting will come across a cache and take the prize. These people are called “muggles.”

People who develop caches use many tricks to make the treasure blend in with the surroundings. Old beer cans may actually hide a canister. One cache uses a hollowed-out acorn and is hung in a pine tree. The target might be hidden in a hollowed board or stump, even a fake pinecone. Creative

clues, along with the coordinates, guide the seekers.

Locations include an old Highway 12 bridge off of Interstate 5 and the site of an old Army fort. “The wonderful thing is the places it brings you to,” Lora says. “We’ve been to hidden waterfalls, walked over the spillways of small dams. The locations bring you to places not marked on any map. You get to see some really amazing and beautiful places.”

The online home to geocaching is www.geocaching.com. With almost one million participants, the hobby has grown since its creation in 2000. Logging in on the website, a free registration process opens up the world to anyone armed with a GPS device. For an additional $30, the website gives unlimited access to its list of treasures.

The adventurer may find anything along the way. Perhaps one day someone will stumble across Nancy’s stash of gold pieces. But until then, the small prizes hidden through Northern California are a delight.

“Why do we do it?” Lora asks. “It’s just wonderful family fun.” •

take me higher kate grissom and K ath y garcia of EXPECT MORE TEHAMA

Story: Melissa Mendonca

Community

hile caffeine is a known stimulant, no one who met for coffee with Kate Grissom and Kathy Garcia at Red Bluff ’s Adobe Road Starbucks back in September 2009 expected that it would launch a community movement. Or maybe they did. These were people who get things done and have a passion for Tehama County.

The movement is Expect More Tehama and its mission is clear: all students should graduate from high school and be prepared for a brighter future that includes higher education. By engaging all sectors of the community, Expect More Tehama wants to raise awareness and provide options for higher education.

“It’s about connecting kids to their passion,” says Grissom, “and it’s about economic development. We know that a high school diploma won't be enough for tomorrow's job market, so we want to help young people today discover what their passions are to prepare for the higher education they need for meaningful careers, whether that’s a certificate program, trade school  April 2011 Enjoy 35

or degree from Stanford.”

That original meeting started out as a dialogue among creative thinkers about how best to use Rolling Hills Casino’s community development funds. As marketing director of the casino, Grissom asked people to speak about their dreams, insights, goals and frustrations in the community.

A trend emerged: higher expectations. The more closely the group looked at that trend, the more education was seen as the common denominator tying issues together. “Education is the answer to every question that comes up,” says Garcia, business and marketing director at the Job Training Center in Red Bluff.

The group, with Grissom and Garcia at the helm, set out to raise expectations and instill a sense of hope in Tehama County. And while there is an emphasis on higher education, the core belief is that raising expectations and promoting higher education is not an issue for the education community alone, but for the entire community. From an economic development perspective, a more highly educated community is more attractive to businesses seeking to invest in the community and create highly paid jobs.

“We’re hoping that people start to see their own personal influence and responsibility.

The individual resident, with whatever hat they wear, has a contribution to make to raise expectations community wide,” says Garcia. Adds Grissom, “Our mission is to really allow people to want more in their lives. We believe that education is that bridge.”

A financial investment by Rolling Hills has been significant in achieving two benchmark goals – a strategic marketing campaign to build awareness about the movement, and securing the services of College OPTIONS to give Tehama County students the tools and information they need to apply to college. However, Garcia and Grissom also emphasize the numerous accomplishments made without money.

“Through relationships, things just keep getting done,” says Grissom. Elementary classrooms are adopting college students so children can get first-hand accounts of college life from an individual they grow to bond with and admire. Numerous schools have held college information rallies and created research assignments about schools and careers. Next Tehama, a group of the county’s young professionals, is sponsoring a project to get a college logo T-shirt on the back of every eighth grader in the county. Businesses are partnering with schools and leveraging funds to take students on college visits.

“What’s been so enjoyable is sitting back and watching this wildfire that’s starting,” says Grissom.

For Tehama County School Superintendent Larry Champion, Expect More Tehama has become a hallmark of his tenure. “Expect More Tehama has become integral to our efforts to increase student achievement at all levels in Tehama County,” he says. “Our efforts to increase the number of students passing the high school exit exam while decreasing the number of dropouts and encouraging more students to pursue post-secondary education can only help our community.”

Connections developed through this campaign with people like Champion and others have provided some of the most satisfaction for the two women. “Expect More Tehama has probably given me the gift of some of the best relationships in my life right now,” says Grissom, recognizing the groundswell of support the movement has developed.

Garcia beams as she recalls how often she hears, “Keep doing the good work.” “You hear that a lot from people you would like to hear it from,” she says.

And while both women are extremely busy with the day-to-day doings of their regular jobs and outside commitments such as the Lassen View School Board (Garcia) and Tehama County Branding Project (Grissom), both agree that Expect More Tehama holds the key to their hearts.

“Bottom line, there is nothing I am more passionate about or have been more passionate about in my life,” says Garcia. Adds Grissom, “It’s the one thing I won’t give up.”• www.expectmoretehama.com

A graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

Story: Bruce Greenberg

fish outof water J O DY B E E R S M E TA L S C U L P TO R

Jody Beers, a metal sculptor, is a self-proclaimed do-it-yourselfer.

“I like a challenge. I’ll take on anything,” he says.

Beers’ work is all original, one-of-a-kind designs. He creates metal sculptures of fish, frogs, trucks, birds, abstract designs and much more, but he likes making things the old-fashioned way, by hand – and he creates the curves with a rubber mallet and a board. Besides making metal sculptures to sell, Beers and his wife, Jennifer, have kept many of his pieces to decorate their home. Walking through their house is like walking through a sanctuary for metal animals.

At 8 years old, Beers’ fascination with “making stuff ” led him to creating a guitar guy out of bolts and metal. It seems he’s never looked back. As a sophomore at Enterprise High School, he made a ball peen hammer in class. He remembers his teacher, Mr. Roberts, coming up to him and asking for his plans. Plans? Jody didn’t have any plans; he was making it up as he went. Mr. Roberts said, “Prior planning prevents poor projects.” Beers, 41, liked the class, liked doing metal work and apparently did learn a thing or two from Mr. Roberts. He now draws plans. “I don’t draw well, but I’m able to use an AutoCAD program to draw my designs,” he says. He uses curves and 3-D to make his sculptures more realistic.

One thing Beers learned quickly was that heat changed the color of metal. When he began working out of his garage, he was looking for a heat source to be able to

control the color of the steel. His wife made it very clear the oven was not available for his metal projects.

What to do? As Beers was looking out the window into his backyard thinking about the problem, he spotted their barbecue. Bingo! A large box with an even flame. “Perfect,” he said. He’s had great success working the barbecue to create different colors in his projects. For those pieces too large to fit inside, he uses a propane torch to get the rich golds and blues that make his pieces so distinctive.

Beers has always had a thing for frogs. “When I was a kid my mom nicknamed me ‘frog’ because I jumped around a lot,” he says. He decided to have a little fun with that, and made a five-foot-tall, guitarplaying frog. His friend Gary Anthis liked it so much he bought it and ordered a frog playing a trumpet and a frog playing a bass. Anthis now has what Beers calls “the frog band.”

Working out of half of his two-car garage can be challenging. “I move tools around to be able to work the metal,” Beers says. For a small space, he manages to produce quite a volume of diverse pieces.

He is presently working on his second fountain, using stainless steel.

“Technically, it’s a little more difficult but it’ll look good when it’s finished,” he says.

It’s also challenging to make a living as an artist, and he is keenly aware that making it as an artist/businessman requires good marketing skills. He’s working on his website and sells his work at Enjoy the Store. He also is trying eBay. Beers’ quest to become a metal working artist began with a trip to the coast, where he saw metal sculptures displayed and said, “I can do that.” He says, “I start with ideas, then create as I go and I never know how it’s going to turn out.” It sounds like a metaphor for life. •

Bruce Greenberg has lived as far away as Australia and as high up as Colorado’s continental divide. He finds his home in Igo to be just about perfect. He is a fulltime studio furniture maker and occasional writer.

For many school-aged students, the senior prom is the pinnacle of high school. After four years of dealing with the many worries and tribulations of the post-elementary academic landscape, high school seniors have usually developed and refined a set of friends, established a routine and grown into themselves. The culmination of these four years is often celebrated in the vein of formal dance – and that ephemeral night will, for many, be the last of its kind.

Local senior citizens, though, have found a loophole.

Shasta Senior Nutrition Programs (SSNP) is rolling out its second annual “The Really Senior Prom” from 6 to 9 pm April 8 at 100 Mercy Oaks Drive in Redding.

“We’re so excited for this,” says Jan Blood, development coordinator at SSNP, an independent, nonprofit public benefit corporation operating under Catholic Healthcare West. “We got a really good turnout last year and we’re hoping to do even better this year.”

Tickets for the evening are $5, and proceeds benefit SSNP’s Meals on Wheels – its most well-used program. Admission includes hors d’oeuvres, desserts and non-alcoholic beverages. The theme: Hollywood Red Carpet, 1940s. To keep the seniors out on the dance floor, Shasta High School’s band will perform a variety of music throughout the evening.

The event was developed last year in conjunction with Shasta High School. “The students had a really good time last year,” says Scott Tyler, Shasta’s activities director and this year’s liaison. “It’s good for the students to be involved with the community. They’re looking forward to doing it again this year.” .

It means a great deal to the senior community, says Blood. “It doesn’t let them relive the prom or that time in their life, but it does open up communication to the kids,” she says. She tells of a man last year who brought books of World War II photos and the students 46 Enjoy April July 2010 2011

found him so interesting that she “practically had to pry them away.”

Shasta students do almost all the decorating, go on the air to help promote the event and learn a thing or two about fund raising.

“They felt like they were giving back to a generation that had given so much,” Blood says.

Lisa Ferguson, who led the Shasta High School student council’s efforts last year with the event, was thrilled with last year’s turnout and is excited for this year. “There were people who told us that they had never gone to their own high school prom because they had quit school to join the war effort. Some ladies were already married with kids and the prom just didn’t fit their lifestyle anymore,” Ferguson says. “Many people just couldn’t afford it. The Really Senior Prom for them meant a second chance. For others, the Really Senior Prom was an opportunity to re-live some of the best times of their lives.”

Proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels, which provides not just a meal, but also daily human contact for seniors who are homebound and alone much of the time. Blood says that 63,353 meals were delivered to 600 seniors last year. Recipients are asked for a donation of $3.50 per meal, about half the actual cost of the meal. Most recipients, Blood fears, wouldn’t be able to afford higher prices. A recipient of state and federal subsidiary funding, SSNP continues to feel the pinch of the recession. As such, Meals on Wheels faces elimination if not enough funds are raised to cover the costs. Blood hopes to raise $8,000 for this event. Tickets account for only a portion of the event proceeds, and donations are welcome. Call Jan Blood at (530) 226-3060 for more donation information. • Joshua Corbelli received a B.A. in English Literature from UC Santa Barbara, andreturned to Redding to pursue his true passion: writing.

R odeo S tock Contractor J ohn growne y In 1948, John Growney was born into a fifth-generation Tehama County family at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Red Bluff. By the time he was in his 40s, he owned a ranch adjacent to the hospital and a Rodeo Hall of Fame Bull named Red Rock who had a predilection for escaping his pen and hanging out on the tarmac of the hospital helicopter pad. “One day I walked out of the hospital and saw this huge bull,” says Sister Gloria Heese, who once worked at St. Elizabeth.

“At first I thought I should drive out to him, but then I thought, ‘What will I do when I get there?’”

Thankfully, Red Rock, legendarily aggressive in the rodeo arena (he retired from the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association unridden in 309 attempts by rodeo’s best cowboys), was equally gentle outside.

He most likely would have sidled up to Sister Gloria to get his back scratched.

As for Growney, “What will I do when I get there?” was a question he’d answered in his senior project at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo when he took on a scholarly pursuit to become a rodeo stock contractor.

In his late 20s at the time, he’d already spent a decade riding bulls and broncs in high school, college and professional rodeo, including winning a gold buckle in bull riding at the Cow Palace in 1976. He knew he wanted to continue a life in rodeo and he understood that the key to longevity in the business was not to remain a cowboy athlete but to provide the stock the cowboys need to compete.

“My senior project was on how to be a rodeo stock contractor, but it included nothing about insurance, licensing, labor laws. Nothing,” 

April July 2010 2011 Enjoy 51

he says with a grin. It turned out stock contracting, much like maintaining a fence strong enough to keep Red Rock in, was a learnas-you-go undertaking. (Red Rock eventually ended up on an entirely different part of the ranch.)

One thing Growney knew early on was to bring in good help, including Don Kish and brother Mike Growney. Kish was still in high school when he began working for Growney Brothers, which had its first rodeo in 1978. Today, he is in charge of the bucking bull breeding program, which has provided such legendary bulls as Wolfman and Red Wolf. Wolfman is the only bull in rodeo history to have scored a perfect 100-point ride. In 2005, Growney turned his bucking bronc program over to Tim Bridwell, but only after producing Moulin Rouge, the second-place bucking bronc of the year at the 2010 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Her mother, Dream Boat Annie, was the 1981 bucking horse of the year.

Growney’s hallmark in the rodeo business, however, was Red Rock, who catapulted not only Growney Brothers but the sport of rodeo to national recognition during the seven-rodeo series Challenge of Champions in 1998. Red Rock, the world champion bucking bull of 1987, was pitted against Lane Frost, the year’s world champion bull rider. Growney brought Red Rock out of retirement for this challenge series, and only allowed Frost to ride him. The Challenge, written up in U.S. News and replayed on George Michael’s Sports Machine, brought new fans to rodeo.

Frost made the first successful ride of Red Rock at the Redding Rodeo to an ecstatic crowd. He went on to ride the bull in four of the seven challenge rides. Although he was proud of Frost’s success, “In

56 Enjoy April 52 March2011 2011

my heart I had this emptiest feeling that I’d taken something away from this bull,” says Growney. Ever the philosopher, though, he adds, “I couldn’t think of anyone else that could have done it except for Lane.” Frost was killed in a bull ride at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo the following year at age 25. Red Rock died of natural causes and is buried under an oak tree on the Growney Ranch. The legend of bull and rider remains as fresh today as ever with rodeo fans.

While great rodeo stock makes his business a success, Growney attributes his personal success to his hometown. “I’m the product of a town called Red Bluff, which made me who I am today and made sure I was successful,” he says. “Because the journey I chose was an almost impossible one – to become a rodeo stock contractor.” While Growney was raised in a community famous for its Round-Up rodeo, he was a town boy who grew up in his family’s car business. The trajectory from a town boy riding his bike down Jefferson Street in Red Bluff to a premier rodeo stock contractor was one that was made with hard work, a little luck and a recognition that “people constantly come into my life when I need them the most.”

North State rodeo fans can see Growney Brothers rodeo stock in action April 15-17 at the Red Bluff Round Up and May 19-21 at the Redding Rodeo. •

Health

Story: Melissa Gulden

a one - stop shop for health and wellness Wellness has traditionally been defined as freedom from disease; thus, if you were not sick, you were considered healthy. This perspective is changing. While everyone agrees that the absence of illness is one part of being healthy, it doesn’t indicate whether you are in a state of well-being.

Wellness, as a state of health, is closely associated with a person’s lifestyle. Each person has a responsibility to provide for such health essentials as good nutrition, proper weight control and exercise, and controlling risk factors such as smoking and alcohol and drug abuse.

These things all play a role in wellness.

Research shows that Americans who take care of themselves and manage their lifestyles are healthier, more productive, have fewer absences from work and demand fewer medical services.

So what is all the fuss about? With studies showing that people are living longer than ever, wellness should be our first concern. Basically, it’s an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more positive existence.

Enter WellnessOne in Redding. It’s one-stop shopping, a “mall of health” comprised of acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, nutrition, physiotherapy, orthotics and yoga. It’s working on the whole body of health rather than simply getting the person out of pain and sending him on his way. Each practitioner at WellnessOne was already seeing patients; they wanted to see patients more fully, so they joined together in February 2010. Dr. Bryan Meredith, a chiropractor, wants to “motivate people to take charge of their own health.” He feels people should be empowered to look at food, nutrition, to see the “grand vision” of their overall health. He bases his treatment on structure rather than pain, looking for a true correction rather than simply treating the pain. As the North State president of the California Chiropractors’ Association, Meredith says he feels Redding can sometimes be a bit behind other cities in terms of progressive ideas, and he hopes to get the word out so people will take charge of their own health.

Massage therapist Bailey Fator says she likes the atmosphere at WellnessOne, with everyone working together under one roof.

“There’s really good energy. Everyone benefits from one another.” says Fator, who has worked for six years and is a certified massage 54 Enjoy April 2011

practitioner. Studies show massage does help reduce stress. “Our lives are so fast-paced,” says Fator. “Massage can really help.” Fator also emphasizes that massage shouldn’t be considered a luxury, or something to do for yourself just on your birthday or a special occasion. “It’s for your health, prevention, and should be like any other part of your health routine, like going to the gym.” Her technique is more focused, targeted work that is results-oriented, dealing with a specific area or concern.

WellnessOne also offers yoga classes with instructor Nayla Byxbe, and acupuncture with Joseph Hlebica. WellnessOne seeks to bring east to west as a viable treatment and to take away some of the “mystical weirdness” often associated with eastern and alternative medicine. Having a more clinical setting takes away some of the stigma associated with these alternative treatments and helps make the patient more comfortable. Everyone involved at WellnessOne strives to help contribute to overall good health, whatever your definition.

Wellness is a positive approach to living—an approach that emphasizes the whole person. It is the integration of the body, mind and spirit, and the appreciation that everything you do, think, feel and believe has an impact on your state of health.

Says Dr. Meredith, “We give the option of going someplace for your wellness, not just your sickness.”• (530) 243-9464 2515 Park Marina Drive, Suite 101, Redding www.redding.wellnessone.net

It’s your future...be there healthy with WellnessOne! As a California board-licensed acupuncturist I am often asked, “What does acupuncture do, and can it help me?” I’m always delighted by the question as I’m in a unique position to answer as both a practitioner and as a patient.

Acupuncture is an ancient medical system of non-intrusive manipulation of the body’s essential energetic “Chi” through the application of benign needles at prescribed points on the body. It is highly effective in the treatment of chronic pain, stress, and many internal conditions.

I first underwent acupuncture for chronic neck and back pain while living in Japan. Inspired by the relief my acupuncturist gave me, I emarked on a long career of study, training, and successful practice here in the US, and am now pleased to offer my expertise to the Redding community. I’d be happy to answer any questions about what I can do for you. Call Wellness One today to book an initial consultation and treatment.

Be well! Joseph W. Hlebica, MS, L.Ac

Infectious music, rhythms and uninhibited beat is the best way to describe the music of Tom Rigney and Flambeau.

A fiddle player, singer and music composer, Rigney has contributed more than a quarter of a century to Americana roots music.

He first rose to prominence in his native San Francisco Bay Area as the leader and fiddler of the legendary bluegrass/Western swing band, Back in the Saddle.

After Back in the Saddle, he joined Queen Ida’s Bon Temps Zydeco Band and toured the world with the Queen in 1983 and 1984, developing a love of South Louisiana dance music (Cajun, zydeco, and New Orleans second-line grooves).

“I had heard Zydeco, but it wasn’t until I got up on stage and started playing with Queen Ida that it really dug its claws into me,” Rigney says. “I just thought the sound was the most irresistible music that I had ever played. I stayed with Ida for a year and knew when I was getting ready to put together the next thing, that Cajun and Zydeco music were going to be significant ingredients to it.”

That band was The Sundogs.

“I wanted a band that would make people crazy for dancing,” he says. “I remember saying, let’s do something to drive them nuts, with grooves that aren’t the standard rock beat or blues shuffle.”

Music

April 2011 Enjoy 57

Teaming with songwriter Joe Paquin and slide guitarist T.J. Politzer, Rigney and The Sundogs performed and recorded for 15 years together, touring across the United States, Canada and Europe, with their ”swamp beat boogie” sound, of Cajun, blues and roots rock and roll.

Rigney’s next big move was to put together the band that ultimately became the present day Flambeau with guitarist, Danny Caron, accordionist and pianist Caroline Dahi, drummer Brent Rampone and bassist Steve Parks, all longtime veterans of the Bay Area roots music scene.

The five have forged a unique sound that blends American roots styles into a completely original sound that mixes irresistible grooves with deep musicality, tight ensemble playing and spectacular solos.

Now into his second decade as the leader of Flambeau, the flamboyant bandleader has leapt into the spotlight as a performer and as a composer. Flambeau showcases his passionate, virtuoso fiddling, his commanding, charismatic stage presence, his range and originality.

The music bursts with the energy of the bayou one minute, turns passionate with a gypsy tune the next; it can raise the roof with a Celtic reel and then touch the heart with a beautiful waltz; it can drive deep into the heart of the blues or evoke echoes of Eastern Europe or the coast of Spain.

“I’m really not playing too much Zydeco and Cajun music these days; however, it’s still is an essential ingredient of whatever we do,” he says. “But the fact is that my music has really broadened out to include just about any style of music that I’m writing.”

Tom Rigney and Flambeau were voted Best Cajun/Zydeco Band of 2004 by the West Coast Blues Hall of Fame and they have been tearing it up at festivals, performing arts centers, concerts, dances and nightclubs from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale to Ecaussinnes, Belgium.

Rigney says his blueprint for success, “such as it is”, has always been to go get on various bills, finding new places and audiences that would respond well to his music.

About seven years ago, Flambeau was ask to participate in the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, a traditional jazz festival, composed of Dixieland, swing and big band groups.

“We went out there and just burned the town up,” says Rigney.

“We’ve gotten the attention of national jazz promoters, resulting in us playing 13 traditional jazz festivals this last year, all over the western states and Canada.”

This year, Flambeau’s seventh year playing the Sacramento gig, Rigney was appointed by the organizers as the annual Emperor of the Jazz Jubilee.

It might not seem like a particularly big honor to some, but all previous honorees were major jazz musicians, including Jake Hanna and Wild Bill Davidson, legendary in the traditional jazz field.

“For the jazz festival to do this,” says Rigney, “means that they are honoring me because I brought some new blood, new energy, new sounds into their festival. So this is a big thing that’s happening right now for Flambeau. We’re breaking into the traditional jazz circuit.

We’re just on fire. Jazz is the only style of American roots music that I have actually never played, but all of a sudden we’ve become one of the prominent acts out there.”•

Recreation

T H U N D E R H I L L R A C E WAY I N G L E N N C O U N T Y

All the Sports Car Club of America wanted was room to race. All its prospective hosts wanted to do was wave a flag—a flag made of red tape.

April 2011 Enjoy 61

David Vodden, president and CEO of the as-yet-undeveloped racetrack, says he and his fellow race car enthusiasts felt like they were trying to open an atomic energy plant instead of a recreational motorsports facility.

Finally, after four years of searching, they found Glenn County and heard the bureaucratic equivalent of “Gentlemen, start your engines.”

In October 1993, the first checkered flag was waved at Thunderhill Raceway Park, located seven miles west of Willows on Highway 165.

In 1998, the track expanded to its current configuration.

So, how did the North State become home to a three-mile, 15turn course that attracts road-racing enthusiasts from all over the western United States? “They wanted us,” says Vodden.

Specifically, the Glenn County Board of Supervisors wanted

62 Enjoy April 2011

Thunderhill, and then-supervisor Dick Mudd in particular. Vodden says he was at a meeting in Marysville, learning about the latest roadblocks looming in Yuba County, when Mudd approached him and said Glenn County would welcome a racetrack.

“He thought it would be a benefit to Glenn County,” Vodden says.

Mudd was right. An analysis by Chico State’s Center for Economic Development indicates that in 2005, some 60,000 racetrack visitors spent $8.3 million at hotels, restaurants, gas stations and stores, which directly supported $4.6 million in personal income.

When that money was respent in Glenn County, the report says some $16.3 million in revenue was generated to support $8.5 million in personal income and 301 jobs. Vodden says the numbers have grown since then, with annual visitors approaching the 100,000 mark and a total economic impact in the neighborhood of $67 million.

“I knew from the outset that it was going to be an asset,” says Glenn County Supervisor Mike Murray, who was serving on the Willows City Council when Thunderhill opened.

“This is the ideal situation,” Murray says. “People come from out of the area—and most of them are in an upper income bracket, which is pretty obvious if they can afford race cars—and they come here for the weekend, spend their money and leave.”

The racetrack requires little in the way of services and has had zero impact on law enforcement.

“They have been a great partner with the community,” Murray says.

Not only is Thunderhill an economic force, it’s a wonderful asset for racing enthusiasts, says Redding restaurateur Joe Wong, who has been racing Porsches at Thunderhill for the past 12 years.

Wong says he likes the open “run-off ” areas around the curves, which make it safer for novices 

and experts alike. “If something happens, you don’t hit the wall. It’s pretty safe. It has tight turns and high-speed straight-aways.”

Wong says Thunderhill compares favorably to road courses like the Portland International Speedway in Oregon and Laguna Seca near Monterey. The only thing it lacks, he says, is the surrounding infrastructure to support huge races. “For local events, it’s wonderful.”

Vodden says Thunderhill was never meant to host an Indianapolis 500. Its primary purpose is to serve the approximately 4,000 members of the Sports Car Club of America, San Francisco Region, and the other clubs, organizations and individuals that rent the facility.

The racetrack is not just for accomplished racers, however. Thunderhill, in partnership with the National Auto Sport Association, regularly hosts all-day Teen Driving & Car Control clinics. In addition to classroom instruction, students learn skills like turning, braking, parallel parking, driving in reverse, merging into traffic and defensive driving techniques—all from the driver’s seat of their own car.

“It teaches respect for mass in motion and the physics of car control. They can feel it in the seat of their pants,” Vodden says. Students learn how to handle potentially hazardous situations in a controlled environment with a highperformance driving instructor in the passenger seat.

Vodden says parents are encouraged to participate, and both parent and student get to see how some of the safety techniques apply from the passenger’s seat of an instructor’s car. The teen clinics started with a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety.

In addition to clinics and race events for everything from go-karts and motorcycles to sleek Formula 1 cars and vintage roadsters, Thunderhill is home to driving schools, corporate events, trade shows, film and commercial shoots and even weddings. In 2010, Thunderhill was booked for 308 days.

On-site amenities include a large activity room, smaller meeting rooms, professional food service facilities capable of serving up to 250 people, restrooms, showers and Internet access. For race car drivers and their support teams, Thunderhill has a control tower, timing and scoring devices, a fuel station with high-octane gas, a shop area, a tire store, a large paved paddock with room for 1,000 cars and garages available for rent. •

What’s Cookin’

Tam’s Rustic Italian Potato Soup Even though spring is upon us, there will still be many cool evenings when you can savor this thick and hearty soup, which is usually saved for a cold winter’s night. My sister’s Rustic Italian Potato Soup is the ultimate comfort food recipe. Whenever I pull out my 15-year-old, memory-stained recipe card and make this soup, it only takes one bite to transport me back to my sister’s kitchen in Texas. Not only is this delicious, but a bowl of this hearty potato soup is also healthy. Potatoes are not only low in fat, but they are also vitamin-rich, especially in vitamin C when the skin is eaten, so don’t peel your potatoes!

INGREDIENTS 3 T unsalted butter 3 leeks, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced thin cross-wise) 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 lbs. clean and scrubbed russet potatoes and 2 lbs. red potatoes cut in 1-inch chunks 1 bay leaf 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or enough to barely cover potatoes) 1 lb. bulk spicy Italian sausage ½ lb. bacon, diced ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes 1 cup heavy cream ½ bunch kale, stems removed and cut crosswise into ¼-inch strips (about 4 cups packed) 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper Garnish: Shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped chive

68 Enjoy April 2011

▶ Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat; add onions and leeks. Allow to cook, stirring until limp and just slightly brown.

Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the potato chunks and the bay leaf. ▶ Cover with enough stock to just barely cover them. To tell if you have enough liquid, just push down on the potatoes with a potato masher. They should be completely submerged. This will result in a very thick soup, but can always be thinned at the end with some extra broth if desired. Allow to come to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender (usually about 10 minutes). ▶ While the potatoes are cooking, cook the sausage and diced bacon bits over medium heat. Add red pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, until bacon is crisp and sausage is done, about 4 minutes.

Tam’s Rustic Italian Potato Soup Prep time: 30 min.

Cook Time: 30 min.

Serves 6-8

Remove and allow draining on paper towels. If desired, reserve about a tablespoon of cooked bacon bits for additional garnish. ▶ With potatoes cooked, discard the bay leaf. Using a potato masher, coarsely break up the potatoes. For chunkier soups, leave the potatoes a bit chunky, or for a smoother soup, mash for a longer time.

Add bacon and sausage to potatoes. Allow the soup to thicken, stirring frequently. Once the soup has reached your desired consistency, add the heavy cream and kale. Season well with salt and pepper.

Then cook for an additional 10 minutes to warm the cream and wilt the kale. To serve, sprinkle soup with bacon bits, chives and Parmesan cheese. * Note: Make sure to clean leeks thoroughly and slice only the white and light green part of the leeks.

WHAT’S IN STORE C anda K ay, P erfectly P ersonal A camouflage coffee cozy for the hunter in your life, an embroidered apron for your favorite chef, a personalized towel for your four-legged friend – with Perfectly Personal, the unique gift possibilities are limitless. Canda Kay’s products include a diverse collection of personalized wine coasters, coffee cozies, crayon purses and pouches, embroidered aprons and flour sack towels, drawstring bags and towels (for people and for pets). You can find some of her products at Enjoy the Store.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I raised my daughter in Redding, then moved to San Diego in 1997, where I continued my career as an elementary school teacher. After our first grandchild was born, my husband and I moved back to the area in 2007 to enjoy our growing family. My motto is “busy hands are happy hands,” and I’ve created hand-crafted gifts for friends and family for as long as I can remember.

How did you get into this type of craft work, and how did it evolve into a career?

A home business seemed like the perfect outlet to keep my creative juices flowing and earn some extra income. I became an avid quilter while living in San Diego, and my passion for sewing and attention to detail led me to create a business making fabric creations. As a grandma and retired teacher, my love for children seemed the perfect combination to create personalized hooded towels.

What’s your favorite product from your collection?

I love creating my personalized hooded towels. I have more than 250 fabrics in various themes to choose from, which makes for a unique

and custom gift for babies, toddlers, older children and teens, as well as adults and pets. People seem to delight in having their name appliquéd in a fabric that represents their passion or interest.

What is the most unique item that you have ever personalized?

I have actually embroidered family names and monograms onto rolls of toilet tissue. As strange as it may sound, this makes a fun novelty gift.

Share a funny story about an item that you have personalized.

One of my customers from the East Coast e-mailed me after receiving her hooded towel. She said her husband saw a plain brown box from Perfectly Personal, and thought she had ordered an adult gift for the two of them.

I had to laugh picturing the disappointment on his face when he saw a personalized hooded towel. I told her that I’m always thinking of new products. Who knows where my creative mind will go next?

What is your philosophy?

My parents instilled in me a great work ethic. I can still hear my dad telling me that it doesn’t matter what a person does, as long as it serves for the good, and you do your very best. I really love producing quality, handcrafted products that I know people will be proud to have and give as gifts. The response from customers is always so positive, assuring me that I am indeed serving for the good. www.candakay.com

Giving Back

fortomorrow H elp, inc . is just a phone call away

A volunteer sits by the phone in an unmarked Redding office, waiting to answer a call for help. That call may be from someone contemplating suicide, from an overworked and underpaid parent afraid of harming his child, from someone struggling with her sexual identity, or from a person without family or friends who just needs someone to listen.

These types of calls are standard for Help, Inc.’s Helpline. The organization, which marks its 40th anniversary this year, began in 1971 as a suicide hotline. Through the years, it has expanded to include various types of crisis intervention, emotional support and a referral service.

Executive Director Steve Smith says, “We’re not mental health professionals and we know it. We’re here to listen to people who have nowhere else to go. Sometimes we anonymous individuals that you don’t have to look in the face can make a difference.”

The Helpline takes calls daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and receives about 100 to 150 calls a month. Smith estimates the need is much greater than call volume suggests and spends as much time as he can speaking to professional and lay groups about Helpline’s services.

Most calls come from within the North State, but occasionally the hotline receives calls from as far away as Sacramento and the coast.

Smith says volunteers are trained to simply listen and not promote their own particular values, beliefs or religion. Instead, they try and lead callers to their own decisions.

Callers are assured of anonymity and confidentiality, and they can also receive referrals on a broad range of concerns that include suicide, substance abuse, domestic violence, hate crimes, homelessness and more.

With funding from Mercy Foundation and donated office space from Shasta Regional Medical Center, the nonprofit is restructuring after a nine-month hiatus. Staffed entirely by volunteers, it is adding back services as funding permits.

Smith, also a volunteer, says 75 percent of the organization’s $10,000 annual operating budget is earmarked for insurance and telephone expenses. Additional resources are needed to return to operating Helpline 24 hours a day.

Some of the most critical resources are human. Fifteen volunteers staff the hotline, but Smith says the organization needs twice that to cover every shift, especially those hard-to-fill overnight slots.

Longtime volunteer Debra Mack hopes to help meet that need.

Before leaving Redding a few years ago, she had taken Helpline calls two or three times a week for six years. “(Help, Inc.) supported me during difficult times in my life and I wanted to give back,” she says.

“There are a lot of people in need of this service.” A frequent visitor to Redding, she says she’s ready to take an overnight shift when the organization resumes 24-hour coverage.

Her dedication is not unique. Smith says he has several volunteers that have been with Helpline for years, some for decades. New

April 2011 Enjoy 85

volunteers are coming from as far away as Butte and Humboldt counties. Although they range in age from their early 20s to their 70s, the average is in the middle. Some have degrees in psychology and some are retirees looking for a meaningful way to spend a few hours a week. Still others have lived through their own traumas, such as family suicide or substance abuse.

Although such valuable life experience is an asset, volunteers must complete 25 hours of training with medical, mental health and legal professionals on handling crisis situations. Before going solo, they shadow experienced volunteers on the phones and then are observed when they begin to take calls.

Board president and former police officer Matt Ruby says that by the time people call the Helpline, many have tried everything they can think of. “We try and tell them, ‘This isn’t the end. There are people out there who can help you.’”

Smith adds, “If you just need someone to talk to, if you feel that no one cares, if you are out of options, if you need information on the resources out there, if you think there’s no way out, call the Helpline. Taking your own life is so final. There’s no going back.”

Help is only a phone call away. • Those in need of crisis intervention can call Helpline’s new number at (530) 244-2222. Those interested in donating resources or volunteering can call (530) 244-2211 or visit www.helpshasta.org.
