APRIL 2013 Spring puts a song in our hearts, and in this issue, we’re honoring some of the creative geniuses who bring beautiful music to our ears.

Our community bids a fond farewell to longtime Enterprise High School music teachers Dan Neece and Deborah Divine, who are retiring after taking their program to soaring heights. Then there’s Daniel Muñoz, who used to sit in Red Bluff ’s State Theatre and dream of a career as a musician. Today he’s renowned in the world of Spanish-language music.

Those who wish to check their first springtime Sunday drive off the to-do list might consider venturing to Mount Shasta City Park to fill up their water bottles at the Sacramento River headwaters.

It’s simply magical to see our mighty river’s humble beginnings. Or wind your way down to the iconic Shubert’s Ice Cream in Chico, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in May. Nature lovers can revel in what some folks swear is the best way to enjoy the North State’s great outdoors — grab your fishing pole and head to the riverbank. Bob Grace of Ted Fay’s Fly Shop provides a convincing argument for putting that “Gone Fishing” sign on your office door.

We’ll also tell you about the Shalom Free Clinic in Chico, which cares for people on a budget that comes entirely from donations and fundraisers.

Looking for a fresh new look? Our beauty expert shares tips for refreshing your makeup bag (hint: if you can’t remember when you bought that eye shadow, toss it!).

Spring has sprung... let’s get out and enjoy!

ME DEO TI IT’S RO NORTH IN THE TE! S TA

CrAsh Cooper, Rodeo Clown a little bit of education:

There are bull riders and there are bullfighters. One rides the bull, competing with other cowboys in the arena for prize money and acclaim. The other distracts the bull while the cowboy gets to safety at the end of his ride.

Bullfighters often dress like clowns and entertain the crowd with their antics as they stand between the bull and the cowboy. Then there are rodeo clowns, whose primary job is to entertain the crowds and the cowboys between events, often popping out of a barrel in the middle of the arena. All are essential elements for an outstanding rodeo experience.

Among rodeo clowns, none receives higher acclaim than Ash Cooper, known as CrAsh when he performs. Cooper will again delight crowds throughout this year’s Redding Rodeo that celebrates its 65th year May 15-17. Cooper returns to what Redding Rodeo Director Bennett Gooch dubs one of the most enthusiastic rodeo crowds in the country. When CrAsh brings his unique athleticism and tailormade comedy to Redding, cowboys and audience alike respond with characteristic western whoops and hollers. Using spring-loaded stilts, he flips and bounces around the arena while joking with the audience.

Cooper always does his homework before a performance, according to Gooch, and draws the crowd in with his personal observations and wisecracks, adding local flavor. “He runs the barrel and entertains the folks, then comes out and walks around all day interacting with the crowds,” says Gooch.

Cooper takes his job and his craft seriously. He started with admittedly dubious success, but as an elite athlete who competed in hockey and rugby in his earlier years, he always works at perfecting his skills and his comedy routine. He knows rodeo, having grown up in a ranching family, watching an older brother compete as a saddle bronc rider and launching his own rodeo career initially as a bullfighter.

He graduated to rodeo clown when he saw a need and volunteered to fill the position. Unlike many rodeo clowns who choose the role when they can no longer physically do the job of bullfighter, Cooper incorporates his athletic skill with his comedy routines. “I just like to be around people who are having a good time,” Cooper says. “I get as much enjoyment out of their reaction as they do in my performance.”

CrAsh brings an energy to the arena that defines the whole of his life.

A past many-time Canadian champion rodeo clown, Cooper lives in Saskatchewan, Canada, but performs primarily in the United States.

Then there is his art. Cooper studied fine arts in college, but is mostly self-taught as a western artist and an illustrator for Leanin’ Tree greeting cards. He enjoys showing his work at rodeos where he can interact with his audience on a different level. But, that’s not all.

Cooper has become a well-known celebrity in Canada as a host of Cowboy Country Television, where the motto is “Real Ranches, Real Cowboys, Real life.” Ash (CrAsh) Cooper epitomizes that sentiment. www.crashcooper.com continued on page 14 April 2013 ENJOY | 13

Mary Walker, Barrel Racer MARY WALKER, world champion barrel racer, will compete at the Redding Rodeo before joining the rest of the top 10-ranked barrel racers in the Champions Challenge on Saturday. She’s an overcomer, a champion who at age 53 came back from a crushing accident on her horse during a barrel race. The accident followed on the heels of the loss of her 21-year-old son in a car crash two months earlier. Both tragedies proved the mettle of the woman, the passion of the athlete and the determination that just over a year later saw her earn the gold buckle in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

Walker began training 8-year-old Perculatin (Latte) before her accident, then continued working him into a rodeo horse after her

rehabilitation. The two began with small Texas rodeos before moving on to Cheyenne, Wyo., for Frontier Days. They won more than a dozen titles, with honors for both rider and horse. Latte was named the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association/American Quarter Horse Association’s Horse of the Year in 2012, while Walker earned the Ram Truck Top Gun Award and a new Ram truck for her top money win at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. She went into 2012 in third place in world standings and came out the world champion.

Walker comes to Redding this year for the first time. She says, “In 2013, I will hopefully defend my title. I want my story to encourage others who may be facing challenges or tragedy.” marywalkerbarrelracing.com continued on page 16

GRAB YOUR HAT AND BOOTS — the 92nd Red Bluff REDDING RODEO HIGHLIGHTS the western way of life Round-Up is coming to town.

Nearly 30,000 people descend upon Red Bluff each year to honor this Tehama County tradition, spurring the local economy like few other events can do. And for all of its 92 years, the Round-Up has been powered entirely by volunteers.

The Round-Up is a long-held family tradition for many folks. Some who walk through the gates with their grandchildren recall having been wide-eyed toddlers watching the bulls and broncs with their own grandparents. Even some members of the board of directors are following in the footsteps of their parents or grandparents.

The first Round-Up was created by the Northern California RoundUp Association, and was reorganized in 1926 by the Red Bluff RoundUp Association — back when traveling advertising man “Montana Red” would spread the word, drawing more than 10,000 spectators to the Round-Up. For the next four decades, a publicity caravan of 50 cars wound its way through the North State, using a megaphone to let people know the Round-Up was coming to town.

Today’s advertising techniques are a little more high-tech, but the Round-Up wouldn’t lure all of these spectators or volunteers if it weren’t a top-notch production. The major Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo always secures top stock contractors and world-class contestants.

In addition to prime rodeo action, the Round-Up is celebrated throughout Red Bluff with a number of family-friendly events, including a chili cook-off, live entertainment, pony rides, a car show, cowboy poetry, a pancake breakfast, a parade and more. A Saturday night dance with country singer Neal McCoy is planned April 20.

that is still very much a part of North State culture and traditions.

The annual event, one of 10 in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Silver Tour, draws big names in the industry to compete for high-dollar awards. This year, the Redding Rodeo committee has planned a family-friendly atmosphere that begins and ends earlier on Wednesday and Thursday, May 15 and 16. Friday, May 17 wraps up the three days of Redding Rodeo competition, with an extra day of rodeo for the first-ever Champions Challenge on Saturday. “This year we will be presenting four days of the best rodeo action that Redding has ever seen. Along with our friends the Asphalt Cowboys, the week-long activities include karaoke, steak feed, bank robbery, golf tournament, street dance and four days of rodeo,” says Redding Rodeo spokesman Rick Williams.

Champions Challenge—Special Event Redding will launch the inaugural Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Champions Challenge rodeo. Saturday, May 18, Redding Rodeo will cap rodeo week with one of four Champions Challenges slated around the country. The event draws the nation’s top 10 competitors along with the sport’s best livestock in each event, vying for $80,000 in prize money and top rank honors. All four challenges will be broadcast on Great American Country, beginning with the Redding event on July 7 at 2 pm and rebroadcast at 6 am July 13. • Tickets and information: Reddingrodeo.com • Redding Rodeo Box office: 715 Auditorium Drive, Redding • (530) 241-8559

in the shadow of spring hill, the sound of a

river’s unending birth fills the surroundings. Water gurgles from the hillside, as the snow, which once covered Mt. Shasta, completes its underground journey through lava tubes to emerge in the sunlight.

A small pool forms, with the frigid water covering rocks wrapped in moss-covered blankets. The liquid rests only a moment before cascading over a small waterfall and beginning its winding journey to the ocean.

These headwaters of the Upper Sacramento River make their home in Mount Shasta City Park. The river’s meandering path creates a quiet calm as children’s laughter flows over from the playground and families spill out of cars filling the picnic tables nearby.

Here begins the 400-mile journey as the water forms a tether of life.

The river will soon pour over Box Canyon Dam. Racing alongside the railroad tracks of the Union Pacific, the Sacramento joins its larger sibling, the Pit River, to fill Shasta Lake, only to tumble once continued on page 20

again through the gates of Shasta Dam, sustaining the wildlife that occupies its currents and lives along its banks. Farmers will divert from the abundance of the Sacramento, using the now-powerful river to grow crops and feed a nation.

The pure, cool water percolates from the hillside, while visitors kneel and fill their water bottles to bring the snow-melted spring home. Children dip their hands beneath its surface, causing ripples to reflect the dappled sunlight dropping from the forest canopy over the spring. Visitors seek the Headwaters’ calm as they exit Interstate 5, and a local resident sits nearby reading as the water churns past.

The parkland surrounding the Headwaters once provided a home to the Native American tribes of the Wintun, Maidu and Okwanuchu.

In 1841, explorers stumbled over the Headwaters, dubbing the area Big Springs. In 1901, the town of Mount Shasta used the rushing water by installing a water wheel, providing the city’s first source of electricity. The land was developed into a summer campus for Chico

State University, then given to the city for recreational use.

In the shade of the forest, these are humble beginnings for the stream which Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga would name Rio de los Sacramentos. These waters have coursed through history, watching Native Americans settle on its banks, the tumult of the Gold Rush, and the expansion of cities and agriculture beside its shores.

Small and quiet, the river enters the world, eventually losing itself in the vastness of the Pacific. The river’s water awaits its return, where as a snowy blanket it will again touch Mt. Shasta and begin its descent to the bubbling spring below. •

Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt. Shasta, 12 years ago returning from the San Diego area with his wife Monica. Together they raise their three boys and manage the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, Gary is also an adjunct professor for Simpson University.

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.

-Leonardo da Vinci

redding ultimate ass o ciati o n brings flying disc fun t o the n o rth state

a physical scientist.

A student from Norway. A geospatial software developer. An avian ecologist.

At first blush, they have very little in common. Until you toss them a flying disc.

They’re all part of the Redding Ultimate Association, a diverse group of folks who enjoy fun, friendship and physical activity as they zip up and down a grassy field.

The rules of the co-ed game are pretty simple: Each team has seven players, and the field is a tad shorter than a football field. The offense scores by completing a pass into the defense’s end zone. No physical contact is allowed, and players can’t run while holding the disc.

When a pass goes out of bounds or is dropped, blocked or intercepted, the defense takes possession.

The golden rule of ultimate, however, is called “spirit of the game.” Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect for others and the thrill of the game.

continued on page 24

April 2013 ENJOY | 23

The most telling testament to this? “There are no refs. You call your own fouls,” says longtime player Alicia Young.

“It doesn’t mean we don’t play hard,” Trevor Skaggs is quick to add.

“We play hard with respect. There’s some intensity to be had.”

They’re also big on fun.

“Lots of tournaments are theme-based — for a Hawaiian theme, people will wear leis and Hawaiian shirts,” Young says. “There’s been a pirate tournament. There’s lots of fun permeating the game.”

Another ultimate truth? Everyone is welcome.

“You don’t have to be very good,” says Ingrid Grodem, 20, who came here from Norway to attend Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.

Bethel has a sizeable contingent of ultimate players, she says.

Ultimate’s official disc is a 175-gram Discraft, which is used from the amateurs all the way up to the world championship. The sport has two professional leagues and numerous club and college teams, including Chico State University.

Young learned about the North State’s ultimate scene in 2006, after coming to Redding to do field work as an avian ecologist. They

formed an official traveling team — the Red Hots — and played in several tournaments each year, often picking up players from Chico, Sacramento and Oregon so they could field a full team. “Our jerseys say ‘State of Jefferson,’” says Young, 31. Now, about 100 people are on their e-mail list and 35 or 40 show up to their practices.

Almost two years ago, the group formed the Redding Ultimate Association, whose board of directors meets monthly. They offer two 10-week leagues (summer and fall) through Redding Recreation, and in the off season, the traveling team practices monthly.

Redding Ultimate Association also organizes its own tournaments, including the Red Hot Hat, set for April 28. Players throw their name into a hat and teams are drawn at random. “We play out a whole tournament structure with people who just met that day,” says Pete Gadomski, a 26-year-old scientist who moved to Redding almost two years ago from Ohio.

Another popular offering is the Turkey Toss, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. “College people are home, and anybody can come out and sweat off some of their turkey and mashed potatoes,” says Skaggs, continued on page 26

26, a geospatial software developer who moved here from San Luis Obispo almost two years ago.

Redding Ultimate is also spreading the love to North State school children. Don O’Connell is teaching ultimate at a physical education class at North Cow Creek School, an effort that’s at “the leading edge of how we’re trying to reach out to schools,” Gadomski says.

Ultimate has a culture of its own and is an easy way to connect with others.

“When I moved here, this was the first thing I looked for,” Gadomski says. “This is how I meet people. People Google us and just show up at the pickup games.”

Adds Skaggs: “It’s a great way to have social interactions with like-minded people. I didn’t know anybody here and it gave me a quick set of friends. And when I go home to San Luis, I see if I can find a pickup game. I can get a good run and meet some cool people.”

They’re also nice to new guys (and gals).

like most children who attend a concert and obsess over musicians, Daniel Muñoz used to envision taking his own place on stage to perform. “I remember sitting at the State Theatre and dreaming,” says the 30-year-old from the rural Tehama County town of Gerber.

In February, that dream came true as Muñoz headlined a homecoming concert in Red Bluff that showcased just how far he’s come. While dreaming will get one started, the path to success is filled with hard work, and Muñoz has paid his dues to gain a following in the world of Spanish-language music.

With a song list that ranges from original contemporary to standard traditional, Muñoz performs with a passion and intensity that denote a young man from humble beginnings taking his place in the world and setting out to be a role model.

Born in San Miguel El Alto in Jalisco, Mexico, Muñoz was brought to the United States at age 1 by parents determined to live the American Dream. The family eventually settled in Gerber, where they opened a oncepopular restaurant called Dos Hermanos. Now closed, the restaurant created a nice living for the family that grew to include seven children, including one who would become a priest in Arizona.

While Muñoz never cared for nicknames, he found himself referred to as “El Hijo Ausente” or “The Absent Son” when he performed his first concert in San Miguel El Alto after setting out to become a professional musician.

Upon return for a second performance, he realized he was remembered this way and started to see the truth and poetry of the moniker.

Now he is billed as “El Ausente,” The Absent One. “It represents the absence of someone leaving a place,” says Muñoz. For him, it sums up his life as an immigrant and as a wandering artist carrying the hopes and dreams of someone claiming two home towns, one in rural Mexico and one in rural Northern California. continued on page 30

April 2013 ENJOY | 29

Gerber is the place of his formative years, however, and is the place that launched his dreams. A 2001 graduate of Red Bluff High School, he spent his first year after graduation as ambassador of Tehama County and working in an after-school program. His year as ambassador started him out in the public eye and built stage presence.

Moving to the Los Angeles area soon after, he found his first big break at age 22 when he was selected as one of 20 finalists on the Telemundo reality show Nuevas Voces de America, produced by Emilio Estefan, husband of Gloria Estefan.

He later went on to become one of two emcees on the Lopez Tonight Party Tour, which spent six months touring the United States and broadcasting live on the Internet.

Muñoz’s real breakout success, however, is still very fresh. He recently won a national contest to perform the theme song for LigaMx, or the Mexican Soccer League, on Univision, the largest Spanish-language television station in the United States.

Written in 32 hours with friend Vicky Cabrera of Guerrero, Mexico, his winning entry is titled “Corre, No Te Detengas,” which loosely translated means Run, Don’t Stop/Don’t Look Back. It is a call to follow one’s instincts, one’s desire to fight and to act on one’s hunger for success. “It’s a motivational song,” says Muñoz.

The path to Muñoz’s success with “Corre, No Te Detengas” included making it into the top four finalists of the national competition and then being submitted for popular vote via the Internet for one month.

He became a top-two finalist and was flown to Miami to perform live on Republica de Portiva, a Spanish station similar to ESPN. At this point, he was named the ultimate winner. His song, just recently out, will be the theme song for one year.

A highlight of his recent concert at the State Theatre was when he brought out his 14-year-old sister, Gloria, who had sung two songs that evening, including “Rolling in the Deep,” made popular by Adele.

For her second song, done in Spanish, Muñoz had a friend costume her in a glorious dress with a skirt that fluttered out in the shape of Monarch butterfly wings and a tunic bejeweled in tiny cut mirrors. As she completed the number, Muñoz surrounded her with the female musicians invited to perform that night and christened them her artistic godmothers and her an artist.

Muñoz reflects often on his upbringing and understands the importance of being a role model. At his concert, a 9-year-old girl from Los Molinos sat in the third row with a smile from ear to ear, watching Muñoz and Gloria. “Once you build the pride of the people,” he says, “well, there’s nothing better you can do.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff. 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.

My generation, “The Sun Worshipers,” were not taught the importance of early preventative skin care. I didn’t start to take care of my skin until I started noticing the ill effects and accelerated aging of my skin. I started the Obagi Skin Care System at age 31 for my large pores, adult acne, age spots, and all over tone and texture of my skin. While I’ve had a Fraxel treatment to further correct the past damage, I swear by my Obagi usage. I believe Obagi is a great daily line of defense to keeping my skin looking and feeling healthy.

Since doing the Fraxel procedure, permanent cosmetics (eyeliner) with Mary Bond, and Obagi system, it takes me less time getting ready now than when I was in my 20’s. I no longer use face make up, except mascara to darken my Latisse lashes and lip-gloss. I have also enjoyed Juvederm filler under my eyes and lips, used botox, and laser hair removal. It’s very flattering to have people ask if my daughter is my sister. My daughter uses Obagi, has had laser hair removal treatments, Botox for excessive underarm sweating, and permanent cosmetic eyeliner.

Take a trip to Redding Certified Farmers Market on Saturday morning and you’ll find it abuzz with urban energy. With canvas bags in hand, shoppers stroll from stand to stand scoping out the freshest in-season fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, free-range eggs and grass-finished meats—all raised by Northern California farmers.

Redding Farmers Market wasn’t always this bustling. According to Ron and Theresa Epperson, Shasta Growers Association’s (SGA) longest-standing members, the first market started humbly. “It opened with about a dozen farmers,” says Ron. With help from the late Gary Matson and Marcia Howe, “Saturday market opened off Park Marina Drive in spring of 1976,” says Chris Gray, the market’s first manager.

“We were one of the first farmers’ markets to be certified in the State of California.” continued on page 34

April 2013 ENJOY | 33

The market offered local producers a chance to increase their financial returns through direct selling, and it gave consumers access to fresh, healthy food. It also helped stimulate the local economy while encouraging social interaction between urban and rural communities.

In 1978, growing crowds and a growing vendor list made it necessary to relocate to Old City Hall. The following year, it moved to the Mt. Shasta Mall parking lot. Because of the market’s prime location, business blossomed. Farmers hoped they found their permanent home.

Meanwhile, in 1996, SGA was invited to open a second location downtown at MarketFest. The Thursday night market was a success, but when officials opened Placer Street in 2011—it had been closed in 1998 to accommodate large crowds—members chose to close up shop.

Though they were given the option to move back into Library Park, they declined. “It would have been difficult to unload the trucks, and we would have had to rearrange vendors,” says Theresa, who served as the Thursday market’s manager for 13 years.

Back across town, renovations were underway at the Mt. Shasta Mall.

Its expansion uprooted farmers, leaving them scrambling to find a new home. “They told us we could move to the mall’s northwest corner, off Hilltop Drive,” says Ron. “It really wasn’t a good location because of parking problems, but we had no place else to go.”

During spring of 1992, driving trucks loaded with the year’s first harvest, farmers headed into the heart of Redding to the upper deck of the Downtown Mall parking lot—a mural on the structure at the corner of California Street and Placer Road acts as a reminder of the market’s rich and colorful history.

Two relocations within a short period proved financially devastating for the farmers. “Every time we made a move, people had to learn again where we were,” says Ron. To stay in operation, fees were increased and advances were collected from SGA members. The dues were used to get the market started the following year.

Although funds were tight, demand for a mid-week market prompted the SGA to open another location at Shasta Center on Churn Creek Road. Named after the late Marilyn Miller, SGA’s

treasurer for many years, the Tuesday morning market continues to thrive today.

Though Saturday market business was picking up, the downtown mall location had its drawbacks: The inclined parking structure proved to be fatal to runaway watermelons, apples and pumpkins, not to mention vendors found themselves standing on a slant all day. To make matters worse, expansion joints were troublesome for older and wheelchair-bound customers to navigate.

Realizing the space was not their long-term answer, farmers began looking for a permanent location, and the parking lot west of the Civic Center was ideal. It offered level ground with plenty of space and good visibility from the street. City officials approved SGA’s proposal in 2001 and farmers have been there ever since. Though they understand progress could mean another move, vendors hope to remain at the Cypress Street location as long as possible.

To cater to the “buy local, eat local” movement, SGA has opened several satellite markets over the years, including a Thursday morning market at the Shasta Outlets. During winter, the Anderson market is open Saturday mornings year-round. From June through October, Sunday morning market-goers will find fresh produce at the Sundial Bridge parking lot, and on Wednesday afternoons, from July through October, Burney shoppers can pick up colorful veggies and fruit at Angelina’s Restaurant parking lot.

As customers browse booths, talking to some 50 farmers, ranchers and artists who make up the Shasta Growers Association, they find more than just produce, herbs, jams, and handmade crafts—they find community. And after all, isn’t that what farmers’ market is all about?• www.shastagrowersassociation.com

“From a casual glance, there’s an interesting juxtaposition the piece gives you,” Laws says. “Once we realized what the medium was, we were suddenly taken by how heavy it was. There are endless possibilities of what kind of installation you can do with it. One of the great things about Willow’s art is it’s not something that has to sit passively on a wall somewhere. By its very design, it’s meant to be incorporated somewhere in your organic life. It’s up to you to figure out how to do that.”

Richardson began making stone mosaics in earnest about eight years ago, following a career in nursing. Born in Southern California, she grew up in Homer, Alaska, and has lived in many interesting destinations including Spain, Boston, Cape Cod and Key West.

Though stone mosaics are relatively new to her, colorful, creative work is not. While living in Alaska, she imported Icelandic wool and made sweaters that sold for $200 apiece in a tourist store.

Photography has also long been a passion. Photos are often the starting place for her mosaic works. An avid hiker, she often finds stones where it’s legal to pick them up across the Northern California backcountry. There’s an incredible array of semi-precious stones to choose from, she explains, including quartz, black and pink marble, serpentine and obsidian.

She enjoys the tactile feel of working with rock, and she likes that others can get their hands and feet on her creations, as well. At art

shows, she puts up signs that read, “Please touch.”

“I love the audacity of walking on fine art,” she says. “When it’s in a floor installation, it becomes smooth from walking on it. It lasts forever. You can’t kill it. I love that when you abuse it, it makes it better.”

In addition to collecting her own stones, Richardson also receives them from friends and sometimes purchases them.

Her passion for rock is reflected in an artist statement from her website (stonewillowdesign.com): “(Stone) is at once cold, hard, rough and plentiful in nature, while having the ability to be transformed into smooth warm silkiness with a luster that cannot be matched. That is my goal with my art. I uncover its beauty while defining each piece with my hands and fingertips. I cut with a saw and grind with power tools, but I sand and smooth with my hands.”• www.facebook.com/StoneWillowDesign

GONE FISHING TED FAY FLY S H OP IN DUN S M UIR

bob grace used to fight his way

through snarled Bay Area traffic to get to a job he didn’t really like. These days he can walk to work in five minutes, so he makes a point of adding a mile to his commute to get a little exercise in.

Suffice it to say, he’s a lot happier. Of course, the owner of the renowned Ted Fay Fly Shop would be even happier on the upper Sacramento River, fly rod in hand, but such is life for a self-employed shopkeeper.

Grace, 64, can find the humor in his angling paradox: he’s a dyed-in-the-wool fisherman living a stone’s throw from one of the country’s blue-ribbon trout streams, yet he spends his days behind the counter, tending to his loyal customers.

“It’s like they say: you never want to look under a plumber’s sink.

I was probably a better fisherman before I bought the store,” Grace says. “It’s not sour grapes, it’s just that I don’t get to fish a lot. If you’re going to be in business for yourself, you’ve got to put the time in.

Otherwise, you can’t complain if it doesn’t work out.”

Grace puts the time in, and things are working out.

During the cold winter months, Grace will take the occasional day off and busy himself in the back of his store tying flies. Come mid-April, though, when warmer days get the bugs and fish moving, the fly shop becomes an overtime operation until the chill of midNovember sets in.

“He’s a hard-working individual,” says Rick Cox, a fishing guide based in McCloud. “He’s there seven days a week during trout season and I have yet, to this day, seen any burnout occurring. He loves what he’s doing.”

Grace has never had an issue with hard work; it’s the kind of work that became a problem. That was the conclusion he reached after several years in the investment business. “I probably wasn’t suited for it, but it is what it is,” he says. “I was tired of the rat race and my wife was in pretty much the same boat. We were looking for a change and Dunsmuir was high on the list.

“I came up here in September and it was one of those crystalline days, and I started thinking, ‘Where did this place come from?’ I got to feeling that what I was doing in my professional life wasn’t that continued on page 42

April 2013 ENJOY | 41

important, and if I continued, it was at my own peril.”

The North State’s pull proved to be too much. In 1996, Grace and Sharon, his wife of 42 years, found a home in Dunsmuir. “Some people say, ‘I’ll do that later, when I retire, or when I make a million dollars,’ but that’s just setting up excuses to say it’ll never happen.

You only go around once so I figured I’d give it a shot.”

The fishing part of Grace’s life required significantly less soul searching. Hooked on the sport as a kid growing up in Chicago, he got reacquainted with it when he was stationed in California during his stint with the Army. “I moved west, took a trip and found the Sierras, which made the juices flow again.

“I took up fishing again pretty seriously in the late ’70s, but you’ve got to be careful what you wish for. In 1997, I ended up buying a fly shop and I’ve been here ever since, but I don’t regret it for a second.”

Grace didn’t buy just any fly shop—he purchased the Ted Fay Fly Shop, California’s second-oldest fly shop, which was opened in the late 1940s by Ted Fay, the man whose passion for fishing the upper Sacramento is credited with putting southern Siskiyou County on the map.

Fay was known far and wide as both a fly angler and the driving force behind the “Bomber,” a heavily weighted nymph designed to sink to the river’s bottom where the majority of fish feed. Fay’s longtime employee, Joe Kimsey, became the second owner of the shop in 1983 after Fay had passed, and Grace became the third owner in 1997.

Kimsey stayed on and worked with Grace, sharing the local lore and tying flies by the thousands, until a stroke sidelined him in 2009. Kimsey died two years later. Grace tries to carry on the rich legacy of both men, including their penchant for straight talk when customers ask for advice.

“I had some misgivings about that when buying the shop,” Grace says. “I don’t consider myself an expert and I don’t like to pose. I shared that with Joe, and said I just don’t know if I can be a fly shop guru. Joe was a simple guy and he was not caught up in the celebrity thing. He said, ‘Listen, there are two things you have to deal with: answer their questions and always try to tell the truth, and you’ll never have to worry about what you said.’”

Grace says the last thing he wants is a customer walking out of his shop feeling like he has been disparaged by the local pro. “They’re out here to have fun. Don’t complicate it with a bunch of crap.”

Sage advice from a man who equates fishing with a quote by the author Joseph Heller: “When I grow up, I want to be a little boy.”

“Think about your days on the river. You’re burdened by this or that, but you get to the river, start loading up the driftboat or putting your vest and waders on, and that stuff just melts away and you suddenly become a little kid. That explains why everybody fishes—they get to be a little kid again.” • Ted Fay Fly Shop • 5732 Dunsmuir Ave. (530) 235-2969 • www.tedfay.com

By keeping blues music alive, singer, composer and

musicologist Taj Mahal has felt from the beginnings of his career that he was preserving his African heritage.

“I think of myself as a composer who plays songs from different traditions,” he says. “I’m always looking for what is culturally happening with everybody. I’ve always been interested in people and their music, their culture, their dance, their literature, all of it. It’s a very important thing.”

In addition to piano, as a youngster, he learned to play the clarinet, trombone and harmonica, and loved to sing. Now, he plays more than 20 instruments, adding the banjo and the national steel and dobro guitars to his mix.

Born Henry Saint Clair Fredericks in Harlem, New York, he was influenced musically by his parents. His mother was a gospel-singing South Carolina schoolteacher, and his stepfather was a piano-playing West Indian jazz arranger.

Wandering around New York City as a young boy, he says, “there were all these street players who played tambourines and sang, guitars and sang, harmonicas, accordions, and just singing on the street. A live person playing the music was what I remember. I didn’t have the distance of hearing the music only through the recorded side of it or just on the continued on page 46 April 2013 ENJOY | 45

airwaves. I heard it as a living thing.”

Musicians from the Caribbean, Africa and all over the United States frequently visited his family home, and he became fascinated with the origins of the various forms of music he was hearing. He threw himself into the study of older forms of African-American music, which the record companies of the day were largely ignoring.

“My grandparents didn’t speak with an American accent; my mother spoke with a Southern accent, and my father’s people spoke with a Caribbean accent. Nonetheless, once they started talking together, everybody sounded like they were West Indians, and when I went to my other grandfather’s house, it was all deep Southerners. So, to me, all of it was a great tradition in front of me. I’m just investigating the lines of the music, culture and traditions that came in to me.”

While studying agriculture at the University of Massachusetts in the early 1960s, he was inspired by a dream, and afterwards, he adopted the musical alias of Taj Mahal, forming a college party band, the Elektras.

After graduating, he headed west to Los Angeles, where he formed “The Rising Sons,” a six-piece outfit that included guitarist Ry Cooder.

They opened for numerous touring artists, including Otis Redding, the Temptations and Martha and the Vandellas, and eventually earned Mahal his first recording contract.

Drawing on all the musical forms he’d absorbed as a young person, his early recordings showed signs of the musical exploration that would be his hallmark over the years to come.

“I didn’t want to fall into the trap of complacency,” says Mahal.

“I wanted to keep pushing my understanding of jazz, African and Caribbean music. I wanted to explore all the connections between different kinds of music from around the world.”

Since that time, he has recorded 50 albums and earned six Grammy nominations, winning two, in 1997 and 2000. He also recorded several 46 | Enjoy april 2013

film soundtracks and made appearances in major motion pictures.

This passion pulled him into exciting projects with the new and developing interest in World Music, resulting in collaborations with international artists, and producing albums like “Mumtaz Mahal,” recorded with Indian musicians, “Sacred Island,” which blended Hawaiian music and blues, and “Kulanjan,” recorded with African master musician Toumani Diabate.

Each musical endeavor turned a new page in his creative resume. His 2008 album “Maestro” was a highly acclaimed collection of blues, R&B and soul, with guest appearances by musicians like Ben Harper, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley and Angelique Kidjo.

A good part of Mahal’s career is now available with the release of “Taj Mahal – The Complete Columbia Albums Collection,” which includes all 10 of his original Columbia albums, one movie soundtrack and two previously unreleased albums.

“Music is a great healing for all people,” says Mahal. “It’s God reaching out to this planet. If you are fortunate enough to be picked by whatever forces that exist in this universe to be the voice of that music, you don’t question it. You get out of the way and you do what comes through you.” • Taj Mahal & Shemekia Copeland April 21 • Cascade Theatre • 7:30 pm www.cascadetheatre.org • www.tajblues.com

Lovin' Scoopful S H UBERT ’ S CELEBRATE S 7 5 YEAR S

The fabric of california’s history is held taut

by the thread of hope endemic to our landscape that this is a place where dreams will come true. Like those who had come for gold before him, Leonard Shubert set out from Montana in 1938 with his own dream. He wanted to make a living selling homemade ice cream.

As he strolled the beautiful tree-lined Esplanade of Chico, he knew he’d found his place. With the country in a depression, he set up shop and sold scoops for five cents. People started lining up for his ice

cream, which continues to be made today in its original location in an original machine.

Now in its 75th year, the award-winning ice cream and candy store is just as iconic as Bidwell Park, and just as beloved. The two seem to go hand in hand, as fourth generation co-owner Kasey PulliamReynolds often scoops up the popular Chico Mint ice cream to people on their way into or out of the park.

Like the park, Shubert’s has something to offer in all seasons, flavors continued on page 52 April 2013 ENJOY | 51

that families incorporate into their holiday traditions. Winter brings snowball treats—a scoop of vanilla rolled in coconut and topped with a candle and wreath candy decoration. Fall brings in pumpkin ice cream, while spring delivers more than 7,000 chocolate Easter eggs in everything from rocky road to Bordeaux. Generations have grown up with their names written on these eggs that have become an Easter basket staple in Butte County. And while each of these treats is a joy to anticipate, there’s probably nothing more exciting than a turn of the calendar to June, when the boysenberry sundaes are offered. “People wait all year for a boysenberry sundae,” says Pulliam-Reynolds.

The homemade flavors at Shubert’s are so good, in fact, that the unique Chico Mint ice cream is on record as being the nation’s second best. In 2008, “Good Morning America” set out to find the best ice cream in the country. Nominations poured in, including one from store employee Emily Brown and then-police chief Bruce Haggerty.

An anonymous nomination said simply, “Taking us to Shubert’s when my mom was in the hospital with a new baby became a family tradition at some point. No wonder there are five of us!”

As the community rallied to promote Shubert’s in the contest, online ballots were cast and a “Good Morning America” crew came to visit. Scoops of Chico Mint were offered and the unique blend of chocolate ice cream with chunks of Shubert’s house-made butter cream mints earned second place.

For locals, though, Shubert’s ranks number one. And it’s one of the things they miss when they leave the North State. One father has ordered a gallon of Chico Mint to be shipped every May during finals to his daughter at college in San Luis Obispo. Pulliam-Reynolds laughs that she’s mailed butter cream mints to Arizona in the middle of summer to be set out at the wedding of a Chico woman’s daughter.

The bride has two sisters who also had the mints shipped out for their weddings. “No baby shower or wedding is complete without them,” says Pulliam-Reynolds.

Pulliam-Reynolds, 40, and her brother Nathan, 35, are taking over for their father Chuck, who is slowing down. “My dad put me to 52 | Enjoy april 2013

work down here when I was still in junior high school,” says the elder Pulliam. In 1965 he was drafted into the Army to serve as an air traffic controller in Japan and made his way home to the shop in ‘67 upon discharge. “Forty-five years later, I’m still here,” he says. As he packed and labeled box after box of chocolates one recent Saturday, he said he enjoys “the satisfaction of producing stuff.” Scanning the kitchen, he added, “All my brothers and sisters have worked here, my cousins.

Now my two kids will be here taking over the business, keeping it in the family.”

A Chico girl who started doing odd jobs at Shubert’s at age 11, Pulliam-Reynolds took time off after high school to work in the corporate world in the central valley. She has enjoyed the perks of a corporate expense account and car, but says, “I always knew I was going to come back.” Still, that experience has helped her find a unique niche among the duties of candy making and day-to-day operations.

She truly enjoys sales and marketing. “It’s my love to go out and be with people and talk with people,” she says.

Today, Pulliam-Reynolds has a 13-year-old daughter, Madison, who fills in on occasion after school and on weekends. Of her 6-year-old son, she says, “He’s in the eating department. Sampling. He loves caramels.”

The public is invited to celebrate Shubert’s 75th anniversary on May 25 when ice cream scoops will revert back to their 1938 price of five cents. “I have to thank all the Chico people for keeping us going all these years,” says Chuck Pulliam. • Shubert's Ice Cream and Candy • 178 East 7th Street, Chico (530) 342-7163 • www.shuberts.com

COME FALL,

it will be a tall order for Enterprise High School to let the music play on.

Absent will be two musical staples, near legends, who have built the school’s music program for a quarter of a century. At the close of this semester, Dan Neece, instrumental music director, and Deborah Divine, choral music director, will turn over their batons to make way for new blood to take the school’s program to new heights.

“I’m expecting it to go straight up,” Neece says. It’s not that he isn’t having a good time, but that he sees the need for a new element of surprise and fresh ideas.

“We’ve done everything,” Divine says.

“We’ve gone to festivals. We’ve won awards.

It’s been fabulous, but I think the kids need someone hungry to do different things.”

54 | Enjoy april 2013

To remove themselves from a winning program might seem surprising, considering the mountain of awards they’ve amassed. Both are quick to point to the kids as the roots of their successes.

And they’ll be pushing for that same kid-centric attitude as school administrators vet replacement applicants. “This will not be a job for the faint of heart,” says Divine. “It will take someone who has experience, for sure, but they must be studentcentered. If it’s about the teacher, it won’t work.”

For programs as developed as Enterprise’s, with a heart-thumping drum corps and Enterprise Starship, a top-12 nationally ranked show choir, the departure of one leader is devastating. To lose two at once is downright daunting.

“I don’t think you can ever replace Deborah and Dan and what they have meant to so many people

for so many years,” says Keith Turner, Enterprise High School principal. “(They) are Enterprise High School music. The music hall is named after them.

Their legacy will forever be a part of our school.”

Initially it was Neece who decided to retire.

He looks forward to writing music, playing in symphonic bands and judging festivals throughout the state and country. “Plus, my wife has a long honey-do list ready for me.”

The more Divine mulled over Neece’s departure, the more she realized she wasn’t keen on starting over with someone new. “If I stayed, everyone would look to me for what they want to do. I don’t want to stand in the way or feel like someone needs my approval.”

She, too, has a long list of things to do. With her husband, Stephen, she owns the Churn Creek Golf Course and has been expanding a wedding venue, the White House, over the past few years. “This year, it just exploded,” she says. “That in itself is going to be a good part-time job.”

Of their looming retirements, both say without hesitation that it’s the kids they’ll miss. “I love my life,” says Neece, “and the kids have given me that life. We’re a family.”

Both recognize they’ll need to keep their distance from Enterprise’s program as a new regime establishes itself. It’s a choice they’ll make not from pride, but out of respect.

It’ll be a tough last few days, come June. “You have no idea,” says Divine. But as she fades into her new sunset, she’ll be singing her swan song, “In My Life” by the Beatles. “Though I know I’ll never lose affection, For people and things that went before. I know I’ll often stop and think about them…”

And as Neece leaves, he’ll be reminding those left behind that “We are a family like a giant tree, branching out of the sky. We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I.” • Carrie Schmeck is a lifestyle and family features writer who has called Redding home since 2001.

Spring into Beauty C lean up y o ur M akeup and get ready f o r spring

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN­—going through closets and donating what you haven’t worn in a year… scrubbing the winter dust off of floors, cupboards and windows, so why not spring clean your makeup drawer as well? Expired cosmetics can cause skin irritation and eye infections, so it’s important to replace them before they go south. Use common sense: if your gloss is goopy, your nail polish is separating or your lipstick has a funny smell, it’s time to bid it adieu. Certain things — notably mascara and anything else with a wand — should be thrown out after three to six months, makeup

brushes should get the heave-ho when the hairs start to fall out, and everything else should get the smell test. When to toss? Foundation: One year. Concealer: 12-18 months. Powders, eye shadows and blush/bronzers: 18 months. Liners: 18 months (except creams and liquids: six months). Loose powders are really the only things with real longevity, and even these should be replaced every two years.

Replace sponges every few days and sharpen lip and eyeliner pencils after each use to remove any moisture left behind from facial contact.

So what do you really need in that drawer full of products?

1

Let’s start with brushes.

You want to have two medium-large fluffy brushes, one for bronzer and blush and the other for translucent powder or pressed mineral base. A narrow, angled brush can be used for both eyeliner and eyebrows (stiffer, synthetic fibers work best with gel liners). Then, depending on your shadow routine, you’ll want a smudger brush, medium shader brush (my absolute favorite is Mac brush #239) and one semi-fluffy tapered brush for blending.

Clean your brushes at least every two weeks — and every week on brushes carrying emollient products. You can use shampoo and then lay them flat to dry on a towel; if you stand them up, the water goes into the glue and can make them fall apart faster.

2

For the face, I don’t care for foundation (it can look cakey) so some combination of tinted moisturizer, concealer and translucent powder is best for evening out your skin tone. If you’re oily, carry oilabsorbing sheets or blot powder.

3

Bronzer is essential when your face is lighter than your body, and it’s great to look a little more sun-kissed in the spring. Just make sure to use a light hand and choose a bronzer that’s not too shimmery — bronzer is easy to overdo! I like a little blush on the apples of the cheeks, too, but that’s a matter of preference. continued on page 60

April 2013 ENJOY | 59

5

Eyebrows frame the face, so it’s important to fill them in or use a bit of brow gel to keep them in place.

The one basic staple is mascara.

Don’t get waterproof unless your eyes tend to water (or for those special occasions), as it’s tough to take off at night. And eyeliner is definitely a personal preference (you won’t see me without mine!), but is best used sparingly for daytime. Liners, gels or even liquid, choose the formula best suited for your lifestyle.

6

For lips, all you really need is one sheer, shimmery gloss, a lipstick or tinted lip balm without a shimmer that’s one shade deeper than your natural color, and clear gloss. Layer lip glosses and liners to create more color options.

Trends for spring: Bronzed, healthy-looking skin is really in. Opt for something that gives a glow without too much shimmer and brush it on where the sun hits: The top of your forehead, across your upper cheekbones and the bridge of your nose, a swipe on your chin and on your brow bones. For lips, coral or bright fuchsia are fun options.

60 | Enjoy april 2013

Everyone has some beauty product they need to feel polished. It could be mascara, concealer, lip gloss or blush. Keep that product in both your makeup drawer and your purse, so you always have it for touch-ups.

We all need those few products to make us feel beautiful. Just don’t let your makeup drawer get away from you. Expired products won’t do you any favors in the end.

Some cosmetics companies offer incentives for recycling old containers, so you may even end up with new lipsticks to replace those old ones—a win, win! •

Laural park was jazzed when her husband and son

agent Th e sh a s ta fa m i ly j u s t i c e c e n t e r ’ s l a u r A l pa r k

Laural Park, Michael Burke and Angela McClure

volunteered to paint a stagecoach mural in the children’s playroom at the Shasta Women’s Refuge and Family Justice Center’s client services center. But upon its completion, she saw the faces of two seriouslooking men driving the stagecoach and insisted upon an edit: A woman needs the reins, and her male companion needs to be smiling at her.

Today, that’s exactly what the mural portrays, and the message is one that the justice center’s “volunteer volunteer coordinator” embraces wholeheartedly.

“People talk about the world they want to see. Laural is a change agent to make good things happen,” says Michael Burke, the center’s director.

“She’s everybody’s cheerleader. She brings an aura of goodness to the center which you feel even when she’s not there.”

Families in crisis walked into the center before the doors even officially opened in 2010, and Burke knew he’d need volunteers, quickly. He asked Park to lead that charge. “In three weeks, she had the curriculum done and had trained nine volunteers,” Burke says. She’s trained nearly 300 volunteers to date, and last year, the merged Shasta Women’s Refuge and Family Justice Center benefited from 12,000 hours of volunteerism – worth about a half-million dollars.

Finding brave new ways to do things is Park’s gift. “The status quo has never been acceptable to me,” she says. “What’s possible? What can we do better? We jump in, pretty clueless sometimes, and get it done.”

Park graduated from Enterprise High School in the 1960s and was told that she wasn’t college material. “I went to college anyway,” she says. She earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from Sacramento State University and a master’s in child development and family relations from the University of Arizona. continued on page 64

Share your time!

Eric Morgan, Laural Park and Jackie McNerney at the Redding Rancheria’s Community Fund Dinner

She spent 40 years in Arizona, where she moved to be closer to her identical twin sister, U.S. Rep. Karan English. She married Chuck Park and they had a son, Shay (now a commercial airline pilot). Her career centered on human services, including helping youth in group homes, counseling substance abusers in prisons and working in tobacco cessation. She also volunteered her time in numerous arenas, including blazing the way for Arizona’s first universally accessible trail system. “The most satisfying thing is to go and see wheelchair marks on the trail. It means someone is enjoying the desert on a beautiful day,” Park says.

A few years ago, the Parks moved back to Redding to care for her aging parents. She saw a story about the not-yet-open Shasta Family Justice Center on the news, and called crime victims advocate Angela McClure the next day, volunteering to join the small team.

Few things fell outside of her job description in the center’s early days, when its only phone was attached to a closet wall. “Laural would stand there in that closet, with cleaner in one hand and the phone in the other, helping someone,” Burke says.

The transformation that the center has on families is remarkable, Park says.

“Women come in beaten down, broken, their heads hanging. A couple hours later, they have their paperwork and a plan, with their head held high. To see families be happy and get their lives together is everything,” she says, tears springing to her eyes. She looks over at a misty-eyed Burke and admits, “He and I cry a lot.”

One mother came in with her two children, and “the kids were running roughshod over the mom,” Burke says. “Laural just calmly walked in and asked, ‘Can I play with your kids?’ She read to them on the couch, and the kids snuggled up to her. The mom stopped, with tears in her eyes, and said, ‘If I could just sit with them, look at how calm they

64 | Enjoy april 2013

are.’ Laural brings that sense of calm in a crisis environment. I would guess that mom went home and read to her kids.”

Casey Gwinn, president of the National Family Justice Center Alliance, once said, “Every center in America needs a Laural.”

The optimistic, can-do attitudes exhibited by both Park and Burke belie the difficult work they do daily, and Burke loves to volunteer Park for all sorts of challenges. She’s never sure what she’s going to walk into – once it was an international webinar about developing family justice centers, where people from all over the world asked her questions. Another time it was a pizza-eating contest. “I throw you onto the bus, not under it,” he says with a playful nudge.

“It’s good because it makes me stretch,” she says.

Many accolades have been bestowed upon her, but she’s quick to deflect praise. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a homeless person or the director of an agency. We’re all the same,” Park says. “Sometimes a person could use a little smile or a little hug – that’s simple stuff. Any ordinary person can do this.

“Everybody has something to contribute. Let’s roll up our sleeves – we’ve got work to do.” • Shasta Women’s Refuge and Family Justice Center Shastawomensrefuge.org • shastafjc.org 24-hour crisis line: (530) 244-0117 (530) 243-8868

The old adage “one man’s trash is another man’s

treasure” is more than just word play for Rita and Keith Moore and their daughter, Terasa Smolenski. It’s become a mantra and a way of life for a family who, by their own definition, are passionate about “diverting material from the landfill and creating jobs out of what was once thought of as only garbage.” After years of working with homeless people and in recycling from Oregon to Redding to the Bay Area and back again, the Moores continue their quest to improve their community one reclaimed door, salvaged window and reused sink at a time through their Anderson-based used home goods store, Moore’s Green Goods.

Rita was raised in Shasta County by her grandparents and remembers stopping at the Clear Creek Dump virtually every day with her grandmother, regularly purchasing discarded items. “My grandfather built everything we had,” Rita says.

When she became friends with Pavitra Crimmel, an Englishborn “child of the ‘60s,” Moore’s life was forever changed.

Crimmel made her mark in Redding as she spearheaded the People of Progress Resource Recovery Program. Crimmel was granted permission to salvage the Buenaventura landfill by the city of Redding, and she is the namesake of the The Pavitra Crimmel Reuse Award, offered annually to a leader continued on page 68 April 2013 ENJOY | 67

S H ALO M FREE CLINIC IN C H ICO

one afternoon

while volunteering at the New Visions Congregational United Church of Christ in Chico, Nancy Morgans-Ferguson heard a knock at the door. She opened it to a woman she describes as mentally and physically challenged, who asked her for a glass of water. “I gave it to her,” says Morgans-Ferguson, “but then told her she could keep the glass and quickly closed the door.”

Feeling badly, Morgans-Ferguson promised herself she would offer kindness and hospitality to the woman if she returned again. Return she did (for months) until one day she and her husband showed up after being robbed and beaten. When Morgans-Ferguson saw their injuries, she called physician assistant friend Karen Kushner to assist.

Although the couple left Chico soon after, they inspired the two women to start the Shalom Free Clinic, housed at New Visions and co-sponsored by the Chico Jewish Havurah. Funded solely through donations and fundraisers, the clinic celebrated its sixth anniversary in February.

“We serve anyone who doesn’t have insurance or who has high co-pays,” says Morgans-Ferguson, a retired pharmaceutical rep who spent 18 months researching how to begin a free community health clinic. “The majority of our patients are working and have gone to college. They aren’t homeless. Some are people I grew up with.”

In addition to medical and mental health services, the clinic offers an array of holistic modalities, including nutrition counseling, Reiki and massage, energy balancing, chiropractic, acupuncture and hypnosis, as well as free consultation with staff from California Legal Services.

Clinic services rotate, depending on which shift of 35 volunteer professionals is scheduled for the weekly Sunday clinic. Several lay volunteers also help in a variety of capacities, from greeting to food preparation and cleanup.

While those in need are served at the clinic site, there is also a need for services in the community. “Our ideal is to secure involvement from community health professionals willing to allot a certain percentage of their caseload to seeing clinic clients at no cost,” she says. “We screen the patients first and make sure they really need the services and that they will work well with the practitioner. They aren’t referred blindly.”

Although the clinic began with a focus on medical treatment, Morgans-Ferguson says after the first few weeks they realized they weren’t prepared for the mental health issues they were seeing. “About 80 percent of our patients have needs in this area,” she says.

Such needs are addressed by a psychiatrist who attends clinic twice a month along with a psychologist, licensed therapists and social workers. Student interns enrolled in nursing, paramedic and social work programs through Chico State University and other institutions also assist.

Lauren Haimowitz, a social work intern completing her graduate degree online through the University of Southern California, works with the clinic 20 hours a week, meeting with clients to do intake. She spends an additional two days per week at the downtown office working with homeless people. continued on page 72 April 2013 ENJOY | 71

“I work with clients on job and housing referrals and created a job and housing board that they can access when I’m not here,” she says. She also founded and co-facilitates with her supervisor the Women in Transition support group that meets at the clinic Sunday afternoons.

The clinic treats clients for a variety of ailments but is not equipped to address acute emergencies, crisis cases or certain chronic conditions. Such clients are referred to the emergency room or county services.

“We’re working on getting a dentist,” says Morgans-Ferguson. “We have three volunteers but we need to get digital portable X-ray equipment, which is very expensive. That’s our last big hurdle.”

Clinic staff serve approximately 40 to 50 people each week at the Sunday walk-in clinic and another 40 at the downtown location, which provides case management, housing and job services.

The affiliated thrift store circulates donated items received from the community, including clothing, small household appliances and durable medical equipment like wheelchairs, potty chairs and crutches, and uses proceeds to support clinic operations.

“We try to meet a lot of needs,” says Morgans-Ferguson. “We run everything on faith. Our patients love and trust us. We take care of them and they take care of us.” Many return to bring food, help in the kitchen or thrift store, or make repairs and help clean up around the clinic.

For Morgans-Ferguson, it only took a knock at the door from what she refers to as her “angel in disguise” to remind her how important greeting another can be.

“We’re very careful with our clinic greeters,” she says. “I want people to feel like they’ve come into my living room. After they’ve been here a few times, I know their name and greet them with a hug.” • Clinic hours are Sundays from 1-4 pm and feature lunch and live music www.shalomfreeclinic.org/index.htm (530) 518-8300

Bagels have a tendency to go stale at our house. Rather than feeding them to the ducks, I tried cutting them up and using them in this breakfast dish. It will work very nicely for your next brunch; just bake and it is ready when your guests arrive, or even better, our new favorite, a “breakfast for dinner” entrée. It is best if refrigerated for several hours (up to overnight) before baking, which makes it ideal for entertaining. Just pop it in the oven the morning of your brunch or after work for dinner, and it is ready to serve.

Italian Sausage & Bagel Brunch or “breakfast for dinner” Casserole serves 8 to 10 ingredients

8 oz. Italian sausage (I prefer a mixture of mild and spicy)

7 cups cubed bagels, about 6 bagels

½ stick unsalted butter, melted Salt and ground pepper

4 T vegetable or olive oil

1 medium white onion, chopped

8 1½ ¾ 8 10 2

oz. Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced cup asparagus (cut into ½ inch pieces) cup frozen peas, thawed oz. grated sharp cheddar cheese eggs cups half-and-half

PREPARATION 1 | Preheat oven to 350°F. 2 | Crumble sausage and cook in skillet until browned. While sausage is cooking, cut bagels into ½ - to ¾-inch cubes. Once browned, allow the sausage to drain on paper towel.

3 | Toss cubed bagels with the melted butter, coating well. Season with salt and pepper and spread out on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Stir 10 minutes into baking and return to the oven to finish toasting. Let cool.

4 | Over a medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil to pan and warm before adding the chopped onion.

Saute onions until softened, then season with salt and pepper. Remove the onions and allow to drain on a paper towel while you repeat this process two more times, each time cooking half the sliced mushrooms.

While cooking the mushrooms, stir occasionally until they are browned and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer to the plate and let drain.

5 | Lastly, in the same pan over medium-high heat, warm the last tablespoon of oil. Cook the asparagus,

stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

6 | In a large bowl, toss together 6 cups of the bagel cubes, the onions, mushrooms, asparagus, peas, cooked

sausage and 6 oz. of the cheese. Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking casserole dish. In another bowl, beat together the eggs and half-and-half. Season with salt and pepper, then pour evenly over the bagel mixture.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow to refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to overnight.

7 | Preheat oven to 350°F. 8 | Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole, transfer to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 45 minutes.

While casserole is baking, pulse the remaining bagel cubes into coarse crumbs, using a food processor.

Once the 45-minute baking period is reached, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the bagel crumbs.

Bake until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.

Prep: 35 minutes; REFRIGERATE: 1 hour up to overnight; BAKE TIME: 55 minutes

ENJOY: What sorts of products do you have for sale at Enjoy the Store?

ERIK: We have a camp stool, barn board crates and many items that are great to go into gift baskets. They’re designed by the production systems class at Pioneer High School in Redding. The students research products, get ideas and build prototypes. We bring the prototypes to Enjoy the Store, and a panel there decides which items to order.

ENJOY: Who are the students in your class?

ERIK: The production system class is an elective, and it’s the cream of the crop from our four woodshop classes. It’s an honor to be in the class.

ENJOY: How do your students feel when shoppers get excited about purchasing the products that they have crafted?

ERIK: They absolutely love it. They dig it. They’re excited when a concept they thought up makes it for approval.

ENJOY: Do you have help with this endeavor?

ERIK: We have a foster grandparent who works with us through the Golden Umbrella - Ray Felix, who was a contractor from the Santa Barbara area. He has built multi-million dollar homes, and he stays at school the whole day with the kids to help them with these projects. He’s a really big part of our class. We also couldn’t do this without the support of the community. Sierra Pacific donates wood, and the Sunrise Rotary and other community members donate time and materials. Shop classes are on the decline, and we need that support to keep going. In California, it’s pretty rare to have a high school wood shop - we’re fortunate to have it.

ENJOY: Tell us about your background.

ERIK: I’m a shop teacher, through and through. I’ve taught at the middle school, high school and collegiate levels. This is my third year at Pioneer. •

THE E X TRA MILE “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” ~Albert Einstein

WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES® On Saturday, April 13, at the north end of Market Street Promenade, the Shasta Women’s Refuge and Family Justice Center will host the Sixth Annual Walk A Mile in Her Shoes® event, the international men’s march to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence. This is a call to men to educate and engage our community about a very serious subject and to take action in preventing sexualized violence.

Registration and activities start at 9 am with the walk beginning at 10 am.

Walk A Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s shoes! This fundraising and educational event asks teams and individual community members to grab their favorite women’s shoes (high heels encouraged); gather donations from friends, co-workers and family; then walk a mile around the Market Street Promenade.

Women and families are welcome to join. The success of this event depends on the number of people who walk in her shoes and collect donations.

get involved: Learn more about this year’s Walk A Mile in Her Shoes® at www.shastawomensrefuge.com or call event organizer Kristi Hanson at (530) 244-0118, ext. 202.

Carol thought she was just clumsy, or just getting older, until a bad fall leading to an MRI at MD Imaging revealed a brain tumor that required immediate surgery.

The radiologists’ swift diagnosis saved Carol’s life, and her husband and son—both physicians—knew she was in good hands. Carol credits MD Imaging for giving her many more years of gardening, pilates, and fanatic grandmothering.

MD Imaging’s state of the art technology and trusted diagnostic ability are why doctors choose us for their own care and that of their loved ones.
