NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LIVING

YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

Vibrant wildflowers blanket the valley floor, and a dusting of snow still covers the foothills – it’s a glorious time of year.

Whether you’re on foot, on a bike or on a horse, we’ve got the perfect trail for you to explore in the Mount Shasta region.

If you’ve traveled on Interstate 5 near Lake Shasta recently, you may have wondered about the colorful concrete bass on the new Antlers Bridge under construction. We got the lowdown from some of the creative minds who wanted the bridge to have an artistic feel.

Then, get up close and personal with Jackson Browne, a humanitarian who has helped define a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and politics. You’ll also be intrigued by the Malotkys, who share a passion for health care and for the North State’s recreational wonders.

Looking to brush up on local arts and history? The Red Bluff Round Up Museum offers a look back at the rodeo that turns 95 this month.

Up north, the Siskiyou Arts Museum strives to educate and strengthen the community through the visual, literary and performing arts.

And we’ll give you some tips for re-introducing your skin to the sunshine – now that it’s spring, it’s all about color.

Be inspired by spring, and enjoy!

HIGHER EDUCATION ADVOCATE AND WRITER, MELISSA MENDONCA

April hath put a spirit of youth in everything. ~William Shakespeare

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU

to the talented Tom (the tool man) Taylor We had a terrific time at the Redding Bridal Show on February 21 and were so proud of the incredible set we had at our booth. Thank you to Tom Taylor, who built a mini patisserie for us and helped set it up on the morning of the event. We are so grateful for Tom’s patience and generosity! We’d also like to give a shout out to Jefferson Thomas for doing the beautiful accent painting for us. Everything turned out just as we had hoped. Thank you so much!

I DO! Congratulations to newlyweds Jenna and Patrick Ryan. They were married in a beautiful ceremony at Patrick Ranch Museum in Chico on March 12. Jenna is the daughter of Enjoy’s Editor in Chief, Ronda Ball, and is a partner at Best Behavior, LLC in Redding.

Patrick is a paraprofessional at Marsh Junior High School in Chico.

The happy new couple lives in Chico.

Melissa’s first Enjoy story appeard in the April 2010 issue and she’s been writing engaging stories for us every month since. Most of her stories cover her beloved Tehama County but she also does many of our Butte County stories. Melissa is a cheerful, caring, lovely person inside and out. We love working with her and are delighted to have her on our freelance team. Here are some fun facts about Melissa.

1. People often ask why rebar is one of my favorite words, since I mention in it in my author bio. Quite simply, it’s fun to say and it’s inner strength. I once saw a building that had crumbled to the ground with the rebar still standing tall amongst the rubble. It had a deep impact on me.

2. I’ve done four years of national service through Peace Corps and AmeriCorps VISTA programs. These experiences in Yap, Zambia and Sacramento have made me a much better person.

3. I say almond without the ‘l’. It’s what happens when you grow up surrounded by almond trees in Butte County.

4. There are five schools on my undergraduate transcripts. I’m now a fierce advocate for higher education through Expect More Tehama. I know the hardships... and the rewards.

5. Some days I want to read on my Nook, other times I want a real book. I love to inhale the history of used books as much as I like breaking the spine of a brand new book. I never know why I crave a particular format, but I’m grateful for them all!

The Striplings are gearing up for the annual Big Race hosted by the Active 20-30 Club of Redding on April 16, one of many activities celebrating The Week of the Young Child. Parents and their young children team up to craft cardboard “race cars,” then hit the track to test their wheels before gathering in the Winner’s Circle for a trophy, goodie bag April 9-16, 2016 and free book, In The Winner’s Circle.

Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of stories about the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, one of 27 All American Roads in the United States, which connects Lassen Volcanic National Park with Crater Lake National Park. Though it’s possible to travel the byway in one long adventure, we’ll share it with you in five smaller pieces (from south to north).

Each makes an easy weekend trip, and if you’re ambitious, you can squeeze it into a day. Please remember: Road conditions are unpredictable, so check Lassen’s “current conditions” webpage (www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/ current_conditions.htm) before departing on this adventure.

Lassen Peak – an active volcano – is the star of the show, and if you scoop up a handful of gravel on any given trail, you’ll likely discover that you’re holding tiny volcanic rocks. Much of this section of the byway is wilderness, which means camping opportunities abound.

Old Station is the launching point for the historic Lassen and Nobles Emigrant Trails, part of the National Historic Trail system. Pull over at the Panoramic Point Vista and use the short, paved trail to discover breathtaking views of Lassen Peak and Chaos Crags.4 continued on page 18

LAKEHEAD’S NEW ANTLERS BRIDGE GETS ARTSY

OW ABOUT THIS fish story? Twenty-fivefoot largemouth bass spotted at Shasta Lake.

It’s not a stretch— it’s art. A design featuring two colorful concrete bass leaping at minnows is repeated four times on the new Antlers Bridge under construction on Interstate 5 about 25 miles north of Redding.

If you want to catch it, look fast. There’s an eye-level view of the lunkers—one measuring 25 feet and the other stretching 16 feet— from the current Antlers Bridge spanning the lake’s Sacramento Arm at Lakehead. When traffic switches to the new bridge, which is expected to happen in late summer or fall, the I-5 blur-by will no longer be a viewing option.

Eric Akana, project manager with the state Department of Transportation in Redding, says the largemouth bass were never intended to be a roadside attraction. “Drivers need to keep their eyes on the road,” he says.

The artwork is 150 feet above the lake bottom, or 65 feet from the surface of a full Shasta Lake (let’s hope that happens). After

the old bridge, built in 1941, is demolished, the best places to angle for a view will be from the shoreline or boat.

Why fish on a bridge?

A bridge is all about function, but it also needs a sense of place and grace. That’s Caltrans’ philosophy. The agency incorporates

“

the $125 million bridge replacement. Akana says about 1 percent of a project’s budget can be for architectural/aesthetic features. With the Antlers Bridge it’s about 0.2 percent—or $250,000.

It isn’t common for Caltrans to feature an animal design, but largemouth bass seemed

THESE BRIDGES ARE THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND WE WANT THEM TO BLEND IN AND COMPLEMENT THE AREA.

aesthetic elements into projects. They might take the form of the bridge’s actual form or be flourishes, colors and textures.

“These bridges are there for a long time and we want them to blend in and complement the area,” Akana says.

“The idea is to give it more of an artistic feel, as opposed to a big chunk of concrete,” says Stephan Heath, bridge architectural associate with Caltrans in Redding.

Tutor-Saliba Corporation is contractor for

”

a good choice for Antlers Bridge because of their link to the lake, Heath says. The idea began with senior bridge architect Javier Chavez in the Caltrans Sacramento office (since retired), and became a collaborative effort with others in the architecture unit and district office.

“We found different shapes and sizes of fish and played around with the scale and colors and settled on a design we liked,” Heath says.4 continued on page 22 APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 21

Turning fish on paper into something concrete was complicated.

The massive fish first were carved in foam, with plenty of back and forth to get eye sockets and other details just right. The foam sculptures then were used to make rubber molds for the concrete.

“It’s similar to forming a sidewalk. It’s made in several sections that are put together like puzzle pieces,” Akana explains.

Once the fish in a relief were on the bridge, it was time to bring in the colorists. Jim Currie of Currie’s Quality Painting in Redding and Jerry Stuart of Jerry Stuart Painting Company practiced on a ground-level mockup before stepping into the small basket of a hydraulic lift to color the bridge fish. They used stain, which permeates the concrete and will hold up better than paint to winter rains and searing summer sun in the canyon. Currie and Stuart applied the stain mostly with sprayers.

22 | ENJOY APRIL 2016

There was much taping to be done to protect from overspray. Currie, a longtime fisherman, wanted the colors to be realistic, not cartoonish.

Hues were meticulously blended and multiple coats applied.

“You have to keep building it to get what you need. There’s a lot to it,” Currie says.

“It’s like doing translucent glazes over the top of each other to get depth and perspective,” explains Stuart, who has an art background.

Each panel took a week or so. Work days were eight to 10 hours. It was highly challenging – as in being way off the ground.

“The first day we were up there it was kind of like the first time on top of a Ferris wheel and you are stuck,” Stuart recalls.

But they focused on the task. The real challenge was working so close on something so large. They took breaks, getting off the lift to gain perspective.

The painters also did the faux stonework on the bridge abutments.

They had to be sure their work didn’t get in the way of the bridge builders. “A big operation like that is extremely impressive,” Currie says.

It was rewarding to be part of the project and see the results, he says.

“Never in my 59 years have I had that much fun on a job.” • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding. She has a journalism degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and was a newspaper reporter, columnist and features editor. Contact her at laurachristman14@gmail.com.

T H E PA S T, P R E S E N T A N D F U T U R E OF THE RED BLUFF ROUND UP WHEN KATHY SIBERT GIVES A TOUR of the Red Bluff Round Up Museum, she gives a bit of her family history, as well. There’s no way around it. The museum itself is a project her father Jim Froome, who served as president of the Red Bluff Round Up Association from 1955-1991, worked toward with great passion. When he died in 1996 as president emeritus, donations in his memory were directed toward the museum.

“This was my dad’s dream,” she says. “When I was about 13, he told me we needed a place for our pictures and memorabilia.” That dream was realized in 2000, when the museum opened behind the Round Up business office.

“When people heard we were doing a museum, they would get their pictures and bring them in,” she says, noting that the museum has also purchased an extensive collection of photos from the Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. It’s been quite an effort to procure a pictorial history of the rodeo that is turning 95 years old this month.4 continued on page 26

With so many of rodeo’s finest cowboys and bucking stock making their way through the Round Up over the years, there are prints of everything from the famous bronc Warpaint in action to a young Slim Pickins bullfighting in a matador costume. There’s even a print of John Wayne watching the show from inside in the arena.

Among the displays are miniatures of famed rodeo clown Homer Holcomb and his donkey Park Your Carcass, both created for the World’s Fair at Treasure Island. There’s a trick saddle used by Paul Soncrat in 1948 and a bronze sculpture of 1963 World Champion bareback rider John Hawkins on Cream O Kentucky.

“They need to know their heritage, not just of the Round Up, but of Tehama County,” Sibert remembers her dad telling her. While she and the Round Up Committee have worked hard to bring that dream to fruition, one of the most prized possessions of the museum these days might be a piece of its very recent history.

On August 6, 2015, the Red Bluff Round Up earned its place of honor at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, an event 27 Tehama County locals traveled to experience. “It’s a real privilege to get in,” says Round Up Committee Member Harvey Camacho.

Camacho was instrumental in writing the applications of both the Round Up

26 | ENJOY APRIL 2016

Committee and Red Bluff bullfighter Joe Baumgartner, who was inducted in 2013.

It’s more than longevity that earned the Red Bluff Round Up its place in the Hall of Fame. “It’s a favorite amongst cowboys,” says Camacho. “It’s in that ring of rodeos cowboys want to go to,” he adds, noting that Red Bluff is right up there with places like Cheyenne, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Cody, all legendary rodeos for top cowboys.

“Numerous cowboys who are inductees have attended our rodeo,” says Camacho, adding that there’s a great chance to see the best rodeo athletes, both human and animal, at the Red Bluff Round Up. It’s a combination of elements that makes the three-day event so special, starting with the fact that it’s held early in the rodeo season, when the livestock is fresh and before the grueling schedule sets in for summer. “Everything is new, everything is ready to buck,” says Camacho. “It all comes together.” Cowboys might also choose to stay the whole week, as the event marks one of the first times in the season they can all get together.

Of course, money is always a motivation, and the committee makes sure to offer top dollar to winners, who can count a nice purse amongst their tally toward qualification for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, which is based off of money earned through the season.

There’s also the fact that the entire community seems to get involved in the Round Up, offering the famed 11 Days of Rodeo, with everything from a golf tournament to chili cook off to a parade and much more.

Just as Kathy Sibert carries on the work of her father at the Round Up Museum, Harvey Camacho is watching his youngest son, Colby, enter the rodeo business by providing calves and steers to area rodeos. “Every generation turns over,” says Camacho. Scanning the exhibits of the Round Up Museum, a look of pure pride on her face, Sibert adds, “It’s just so amazing to be here. So many memories.” • Red Bluff Round Up Museum 670 Antelope Blvd., Suite #2 Red Bluff (530) 528-1477 Red Bluff Round Up Tehama District Fairgrounds April 15-17 www.redbluffroundup.com

NATURE HIKE

| BY TIM HOLT | PHOTOS BY JOHN A. THOMPSON, JR

A G O U R M E T G U I D E TO S I S K I YO U ’ S T R A I L S THE MOUNT SHASTA REGION FEATURES an abundance of antastic trails, and I have collected a number of favorites in my 20 years of hiking experience.

I recently discovered a little gem of a trail, the one-mile Elsa Rupp Trail. It starts at the Sisson Museum just west of the city of Mount Shasta. Rupp was a longtime Forest Service employee who donated the land for the trail in memory of her parents and her brother.

It winds through wooded groves on both sides of Old Stage Road, and, near its end, reaches a “sweet spot” at a shaded creek crossing.

You can rest at a bench thoughtfully placed at creekside and enjoy the picturesque setting. It's a nice, cool place for sitting and dreaming on a hot summer’s day.

Another cool hike is the short one down to Hedge Creek Falls at the north end of Dunsmuir. You will hike right under the falls and can continue a half-mile further to a promontory with a panoramic view of the Sacramento River.4 continued on page 30

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 29

Spring is a good time to head up the slopes of Mount Shasta and enjoy its blooming wildflowers. Along the streams that run through Panther Meadows, at 7,500 feet, you’ll find red Indian paintbrushes and wild onions with their bluish-white blossoms. Continue a couple of miles farther to South Gate Meadows, where you’ll find more wildflowers and some enchanting waterfalls.

Then there’s the eight-mile loop around Lake Siskiyou. I recommend the North Shore part of the trail, which provides some wonderful scenery. For the most part, it’s a nice wide path, with benches along the way where you can sit and enjoy the views of the lake and mountains looming in the background. Best place to start the trail is at the parking lot across from the tennis courts on W. A. Barr Road.

If you’re a mountain biker, you’ll definitely want to check out the 11mile Gateway Trail on the lower slopes of Mount Shasta. The trailhead is located on the right side of Everitt Memorial Highway after you’ve passed the high school and the railroad tracks. It was designed with mountain bikers in mind, with lots of tight, challenging switchbacks.

You can also have a good mountain biking experience on the recently completed 37 miles of the Great Shasta Rail Trail. It starts three miles east of McCloud, at Esperanza Road. When completed, it will total 50 miles, with additional side trails, and stretch from the outskirts of McCloud to Burney. The rails of the old McCloud River Railroad have been removed, but not the crushed cinders of its roadbed, so it’s recommended for hikers and mountain bikers, but not for road bikes.

There are hundreds of miles of accessible stretches of the Pacific Crest Trail in our area. One of my favorites runs just west of Castle Crags State Park. Drive three miles past the park’s entrance to a “borrow,” or gravel pit, on the right side of the road, park your car, and hike up a short but steep trail that starts on the west side of the parking area. When you get up to its junction with the PCT, make a left. Depending on how much time you have and how far you want to hike, you can get your fill of cascading creeks and spectacular, up-close views of the rugged Crags. With a little scrambling off the main trail, where it meets Burstarse Creek, you can enjoy close-up views of the creek’s three waterfalls.

And there are even more trails in the works, at various stages in the planning process: trails linking the city of Mount Shasta to Lake Siskiyou, Lake Siskiyou to Dunsmuir, Castle Lake to Lake Siskiyou, and Snowman’s Hill near McCloud to Dunsmuir.

There’s a big push right now for the long-awaited trail to Mossbrae Falls near Dunsmuir. Currently hikers have to stumble along Union Pacific’s tracks to get to the falls. Preliminary designs have been completed for a much safer route through the spacious grounds of the Saint Germaine Foundation.

Barry Price of the Trail Association sums up the economic benefits of building new trails: “If you’ve got 10 miles of trails, people will come up here and stay a night. If you’ve got 100 miles, they’ll stay a week.” • www.mountshastatrailassociation.org www.greatshastarailtrail.org

My Doctor, My Time For Laurie Fowler, being able to access her doctor on her own timeline and schedule was worth trying something new.

Laurie says, “Being able to text and email Dr. Jill has made it so much easier for me to access my preventative care.” Considering the healthcare model we are all used to it can be hard to understand something this different and convenient. Laurie found it’s not really that complicated after all. For a flat monthly fee, patients have unlimited access to their doctor via unlimited office visits, phone, text or email. The model is called Direct Primary Care (DPC). Services include unlimited office visits, annual well visits, minor urgent care such as cuts burns and colds, sprains and strains, as well as chronic disease management such as high cholesterol or diabetes. Of course we all have to have health insurance but Direct Primary Care patients can check that box with an often much less expensive, high-deductible plan that covers the big stuff like hospitalizations, surgeries and specialized care.

When people have access to good primary care it can help prevent minor issues from getting out of control. Oh wait…what exactly does “access” mean? It means same or next day appointments. It means no lengthy paperwork to see if the office will accept you as a patient. There’s no long wait to set up your first appointment. You can call and talk to your DOCTOR directly. It means a relationship with your doctor who knows your health history and has 70% less patients than a traditional practice. As a member of a DPC practice you will have enough time with your doctor WHEN you need it.

All of this is why DPC is one of the fastest growing segments of healthcare…and why patients like Laurie are choosing DPC saying, “I want MY DOCTOR on MY TIME,” for less than coffee every month.

T H E S I S K I YO U A R T S M U S E U M WITHIN THE CITY OF DUNSMUIR, there is a place where fish swim in schools along the walls. Sailing ships move up and down, changing form. Buildings rise at odd angles, glowing with every color of the rainbow. Dreams of the young and old burst into life. The creative hours given by moving fingers loop beads and stones into the art of jewelry. People pause on the wooden bench along the sidewalk before entering and immersing themselves in the world of the Siskiyou Arts Museum, or as the chalkboard in front says, SAM. SAM’s world surrounds those who come into the influence of her allure. In July 2013, Ernie Wasson, a new resident, walked into the doors of 5824 Dunsmuir Ave. to explore. He left a dedicated volunteer, later joined the board, and now serves as board president.

“It’s all happened so quick,” Wasson says. “I was sucked right in.”

The double store front is provided by Peter Arth, who is a major supporter of SAM’s mission. Wasson points to a common interest held by Arth, himself and all the volunteers: “The Siskiyou Arts Museum strives to enrich the lives of residents and visitors to Siskiyou County through acquisition, preservation and interpretation of the visual, literary and performing arts in order to present exhibitions and programs that will educate, strengthen, serve and sustain our community.”

SAM is a gallery and gift shop. Large windows look inside, as those within gaze at the pedestrians whose eyes turn inward as they pass.

The carpeted south room holds the treasures of local artists from all over Northern California, available for patrons to purchase and carry home. The northern half hosts two wooden-floored galleries which4 continued on page 34 APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 33

present exhibits lasting two months, which rotate in alternate months, giving SAM a new look every month.

Lasting into mid-April is the Every Child is an Artist exhibit. From the minds of Dunsmuir Elementary, Dunsmuir High and Castle Rock Elementary schools, the front gallery reveals the inner thoughts and visions of local youth. The back gallery currently holds the exhibit, “Dunsmuir Collects.” Each selection is a collection either from a Dunsmuir resident or about Dunsmuir. The local tire shop loaned its collection of bolts, nails and other objects pulled from the tires brought in. The covers of Sunset magazine from a single year in the 1930s comes from another Dunsmuir home. Elephants sit along a collection of thangka, Tibetan paintings on material.

In the gift store, the cards of Etna artist Catherine G. McElroy bring alive the dreams of color and animals, where a world of car-driving, music-playing and life-loving creatures become the covers of messages written in everyday life. The tote bags of Cheerio Textile

by Susie Robison of McCloud wait to be filled with the treasures of new homes. Necklaces, knitted caps and canvas landscapes each carry the aura of the corners of Northern California from where each was produced. Local artists are supported, but also provide what is needed to sustain SAM. “There is a myriad of activity here,” Wasson says. “We host a cultural community with music, poetry nights, plays and offering art classes.

Visitors stream in and out the doors, coming from the Bay Area and Redding, often enjoying a day in the gallery, shopping and having a meal at one of our local restaurants before returning home.”

Inside the front door, foam snowmen align in battle, throwing snowballs. Their enthusiasm moves through the air, over the walls, making SAM come alive. Wasson says, “You never know what you might find here.” • Siskiyou Arts Museum Hours: 11 am to 4 pm Thursday through Sunday (closed in January) www.siskiyouartsmuseum.org

I’m Rhonda Sanderson and I am living my dream.

I was very nervous starting college at the age of 39. I decided to go for my LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse) and it has been the best decision I ever made. Shasta College made it easy to fit classes around my work schedule. My prerequisite teachers were awesome! I loved to go to class and learn from them.

I cannot say enough about the nursing program staff.

They are the most supportive teachers and people that I have ever met.

My name is Phillip Bakken, and I am starting a new life at 52 years old.

I started working construction at 15 years old, eventually got married, and soon had children. By the time I reached my 50’s I felt very unfulfilled. I knew this was my opportunity to make a change.

After considerable research, Shasta College became my path to the career I always wanted. Word of mouth on the excellence of the Shasta College program was convincing and the cost effectiveness of the Health Sciences Program stood out like a beacon in the darkness.

I enrolled in the NA/HHA (Nurse Assistant/Home Health Aide) class and feel as if I have found myself.

where the

wild things are T H E W I L D F LO W E R S O F E D S T U H L’ S M T. S H A S TA ED STUHL’S WAS A LIFE LIVED so large that it’s only fitting his legacy will be forever associated with Mt. Shasta, one of the titans of the Cascade Range.

Stuhl was 30 when he got his first glimpse of the mountain in 1917, recording in his journal that the volcano was “of such height and dimensions, majesty and beauty, it makes faint any attempt to describe it.”

Nonetheless, describe it he did, and its abundant wildflowers in particular. He spent the better part of his next 50 years painting the 189 wildflowers known to exist on the mountain’s slopes. Four Mount Shasta-area residents recently made it their mission to celebrate and preserve Stuhl’s work in a book.

His paintings “were a gift that we didn’t want to let go,” says Jane Cohn, one of the four authors of “Mount Shasta Wildflowers.” “We all have a passion for the mountain,” explains co-author Michael Zanger, a veteran climbing guide who befriended Stuhl in 1968. “We loved working on this project. It’s nice we could share the passion that he had.”

Stuhl was a classically trained artist and a self-taught botanist who grew up in Austria and spent his early years hiking throughout the Bavarian countryside, repairing stained-glass windows that were damaged by storms. He developed a fascination with the American West from attending a performance of “Wild” Bill Hickok and Annie Oakley’s Wild West Show in Munich and reading frontier authors like James Fenimore Cooper and Mark Twain.

Stuhl and his young wife, Rosie, made their way to Chicago in 1908, and then down to Mexico, where they managed a sprawling cattle ranch and were even befriended

by Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution.

When peace was restored in Mexico and it was again safe to travel, the Stuhls decided to take in the 1915 PanamaPacific International Exposition in San Francisco before returning to Austria. When World War I made a return to Europe impossible, the couple remained in the North State.

Stuhl’s attraction to Mt. Shasta only grew after accepting a job on publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst’s4 continued on page 38

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 37

Wyntoon estate on the McCloud River, a position he held from 1923 to 1946.

The Stuhls settled in a log cabin west of Mount Shasta and led very active lives well into their 90s.

Zanger was a young climber in 1968 and hitchhiking up the Everitt Memorial Highway when he first met Stuhl. “By the time we got to Bunny Flat, we had quite a connection,” Zanger recalls. “When we got there, he offered me a job at the Sierra Club camp.”

Zanger became the caretaker-in-residence at the Sierra Club’s Shasta Alpine Lodge, a climbers’ hut built in 1923 at Horse Camp. “It meant being up there all summer for four years, and then I took over after that as an overseer or custodian.

Every week that I came down for mail and supplies, I had to stop by their house and visit with them. That was great. There were just endless stories.”

Stuhl was a highly regarded source of entertainment and lore for the hundreds of hikers and climbers he encountered on the mountain, regaling them with tales about Mt. Shasta and his other alpine adventures. According to Zanger, Stuhl climbed every major mountain in western North America from Mexico to Canada, including a solo winter climb of Mexico’s 17,887-foot Popocatepetl volcano at age 76.

Cohn’s familiarity with Stuhl’s work strengthened during her five years as a climbing guide when she would often field questions from her clients about the wildflowers they would encounter.

Zanger gave Cohn a copy of Stuhl’s coffee-table book of his wildflower paintings (now long out of print) and she would try and find the various flowers she spotted.

“I said to Michael, ‘We ought to take these paintings and make them into a field guide,’ and he agreed, but we were both busy and didn’t do anything,” she says.

The field guide idea resurfaced in 2000 and this time it gained some traction.

Cohn knew a botanist, Ken Goehring, who said he’d help if the team was able to acquire the rights to Stuhl’s paintings. Goehring’s wife and fellow College of the Siskiyous instructor, Linda Freeman, completed a book of her own and joined the team as well.

Fortunately, Stuhl was a meticulous record keeper. “Ed’s journals are very detailed and very exciting to read. He was one of those people that was highly organized. He wrote everything down and labeled everything. He kept track of how many times he went to Horse Camp and how long it took him. It’s a window into what life was like in an earlier time,” Cohn says.

For the book, Zanger and Cohn provided their knowledge of the mountain and its many trails, and obtained permission from George Thompson, head librarian of Special Collections at Chico State University’s Meriam Library, to secure the rights to reprint Stuhl’s paintings.

Freeman provided the keys, tables and plant descriptions and, with her husband, the identification and presentation of the plants. “We felt like we were building a box for a wonderful treasure. We went very slow. It was a labor of love for all four of us,” Goehring says.

The project was fun, too, Cohn says, especially when “your homework is to go up on the mountain and look for flowers.” • The authors will present a slideshow at 7 pm May 12 at the Sisson Museum. The program is presented by the Siskiyou Land Trust; suggested donation is $8. Visit www.siskiyoulandtrust.org Guided wildflower hikes are tentatively scheduled for June and July; visit www. shastaguides.com for details www.mountshastawildflowers.com

A FA M I LY A F FA I R W I T H R I C H A R D A N D A N N M A LOT KY IT WAS A TOASTY 118 DEGREES on that Fourth of July day in 1985 when Richard and Ann Malotky rolled into Redding in a U-Haul with their 6-month-old son, Max. Ann’s first act as a Redding resident was to burst into tears.

Richard’s first act was to fetch his fly rod from the back of the rental truck and walk over to the nearby Sacramento River. With his first cast, Ann says he hooked a 17-inch rainbow trout.

“He came back and said ‘Ann, this is why we moved here.’”

Now a veteran of Redding’s warm summer days, Ann laughs as she recalls that day. Redding, with its July scorchers and big river going through the middle of town, is where the Malotkys happily call home. “We decided to move here because we love the outdoors,” she says. “All the fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking … that’s why we moved to Redding; we both fell in love with the Sacramento River.”

The Malotkys also share a passion for health care. Richard has been a family care physician for the past 30 years; Ann has been a dentist since 1982. The healing arts run in the family: their son Max, 31, is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who will complete his residency next summer in Dayton, Ohio; their daughter Kimberly, 28, is a dentist with a practice in Ventura.

For Ann, dentistry is a family affair. Her father was a dentist and she could tell he enjoyed his work. She recalls sitting by his side and watching in fascination as he poured dental crowns for his patients.

As she readied for college, she considered a career in nursing, “but the more I thought about it, and considering my personality, I wanted to be the one making the decisions.” Her dental practice also allowed for some flexibility to spend more time at home when her children were young.

In Richard’s case, both his father and grandfather were Lutheran ministers in Hopkins, Minn., so his interest in medicine was piqued in part by his mother, who was a nurse, and by the doctors who treated him after a nasty motorcycle accident he was involved in as a high school junior.4 continued on page 42

“They put me back together pretty well and I thought that was pretty neat,” Richard says.

Richard enrolled in nearby St. Olaf College and he met Ann on the first day of class. An Orange County native, Ann says her father pointed her toward the small liberal arts college even though she had set her sights on UC Santa Barbara, some 2,000 miles closer.

As their relationship grew, Ann laughs as she recalls informing her native Minnesotan boyfriend that she had no interest in enduring the scrutiny that would ensue if she became a minister’s wife. It is unclear how much that swayed Richard, but he did find himself running with a crowd of chemistry and biology majors and ultimately enrolling in the University of Minnesota’s medical school.

Ann, too, pursued her degree at Minnesota’s dental school. Recently married and with a year of Richard’s medical school left, the two traveled west on their summer break for a honeymoon on Shasta Lake in Ann’s parents’ houseboat. Mixing in some backpacking in the Trinity Alps Wilderness and a climb to the top of Mt. Shasta further reinforced the idea that the North State would make a fine place to call home.

In 1985, following Richard’s three-year residency in Milwaukee, the young family packed up their 1970 sky blue Cadillac DeVille (purchased for $1,000 and cherished until a rusted undercarriage spelled its demise) and headed to Redding.

After settling in next to the river, the Malotkys piloted their two children through St. Joseph School, St. Francis Middle School and Bishop Quinn High School and note with pride that both received college scholarships: Max at Gonzaga University in Spokane and Kim at Santa Clara University. Each sailed through college in three and a half years with degrees in biochemistry.

Richard began his family care practice at the Redding Family Medical Group on Airpark Drive while Ann set up shop on Eureka Way. In 2011, the two combined forces and opened Summit Medical & Dental Arts at 1800 Buenaventura Blvd.

“We threw out a lure to see if our kids would come back,” Richard says of the state-of-the-art facility. “The verdict is still out on if they will come back or not,” Ann says. In the meantime, having a doctor and a dentist under the same roof has its benefits. “Surprisingly, it works really great. I can pester him whenever I want,” Ann says. • www.summitmedicalanddentalarts.com

B O O K I N CO M M O N P R O G R A M B R I N G S A U T H O R B RYA N S T E V E N S O N TO C H I CO S TAT E U N I V E R S I T Y NEW EFFORTS TO BRING COHESIVENESS to a community can take a while to catch on. When the spark of an effort becomes a fire, however, the results can be sweet indeed. The team that organizes Butte County’s Book in Common program is basking in the warm glow of the fire that has become of this year’s selection, “Just Mercy”

by Bryan Stevenson. “‘Just Mercy’ is maybe the best Book in Common we’ve had so far,” says Bill Loker, dean of undergraduate education at Chico State University and committee member for the project. “It’s a combination of issue, timeliness, the author himself, the writing style of a topic that is so difficult. The topic is difficult but the writing is so accessible. It’s very human and humane.”

The topic is the criminal justice system of the United States.

Stevenson, executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Ala., and a professor of law at New York University School of Law, has become a voice so powerful for reform that Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu has described his book as “gripping. What hangs in the balance is no less than the soul of a great nation.” More than one reviewer has likened Stevenson to a real-life Atticus Finch.

While “Just Mercy” is in itself a vehicle to greater understanding of the criminal justice system and the need for reform, the active engagement of reading it as a community and engaging in the programming developed around the book helps readers connect more deeply.

“One of the messages we’re trying to get across with ‘Just Mercy’ is that this is not just an Alabama problem, it’s not just a southern problem,” says Loker. “There are real issues in California and across the United States. It’s a California problem, it’s a national problem.”

The message is being expressed through ancillary activities such as panel discussions with ex-offenders, various book club conversations and the decision to feature the death penalty as the topic of Chico’s annual Great Debate. All are open to the public and are promoted to Chico State and Butte College students.4 continued on page 48

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 47

“We were really lucky to get him,” says Loker of Stevenson. “He’s really dedicated to his work; he doesn’t leave Montgomery, Ala., that much.” Stevenson’s profile has also risen significantly since he was booked by Chico State. Starbucks picked up the paperback version of “Just Mercy” to sell in its stores nationwide, and he’s had media appearances on 60 Minutes and the Daily Show. His TED Talk, “We Need to Talk About Injustice,” continues to gain viewership.

“Personally, I think he’ll win the Nobel Peace Prize one day,” says Loker.

“We’re trying to do as much as we can prior to his (Stevenson’s) coming,” says Daniel Beaky, a third-year criminal justice major from Orange County, who has been instrumental in developing activities for the Book in Common.

Not only has Beaky developed his leadership skills through the Book in Common—“I’ve gotten to carry the load on my shoulders a little bit and it’s been nice,” he says – he’s also challenged his own opinions through engagement in the activities and study of the book.

“It’s definitely spread the boundaries,” he says. “This has allowed me to get a perspective of the other side. Being able to agree and disagree with both sides has given me a deeper perspective of the overall system as a whole.”

The Book in Common program started in 2000 as an effort to broaden the experience and cohesiveness of the freshman class at Chico State. Considered a moderate success as a freshman read opportunity, the project has gained power since opening up to the wider community in ensuing years. “I think that the broader reach has been successful,” says Loker, noting that endorsements now come from Butte County, Butte College and the City of Chico, as well as Chico State.

To that effect, a wide coalition of community members meet each year to select the featured book. The rubric is broad, as they seek a read that is timely, engaging, programmable, of interest to a wider audience as well as college students, and with linkages to California or Northern California. Popular past selections have included “The Distance Between Us” by Reyna Grande (immigration) and “Unquenchable”

by Robert Glennon (America's water crisis).

For Beaky, a young man setting out on a career in criminal justice with aspirations to join the Navy, the opportunity to meet Stevenson when he arrives in Chico would be a dream come true. “I would love to get him alone and just pick his brain apart,” he says. “But I'll definitely take a handshake and a chance to say ‘thank you’ and any quick words of advice he may have.” • www.bryanstevenson.com Lecture by Bryan Stevenson Laxson Auditorium • Chico State University Tickets: www.csuchico.edu/upe/performance/artists/bryan-stevenson.php

Raising BARN

CHICKS N CHAPS: F U N D I N G T H E F I G H T AG A I N S T B R E A S T C A N C E R

ON A COLD, CRISP OCTOBER EVENING, a small group of women gathered, each of them holding fast to a pink balloon with the name of a loved one handwritten on it. Standing in a circle, they each took a moment to honor the special someone they had lost to breast cancer, speaking their names aloud before releasing the balloons into the starry night sky. It was the perfect close to the very first Party in Pink, an event dedicated to sharing the importance of early detection of breast cancer, one that Linda Hicklin created to honor a lifelong friend, Marie Long, who had lost her battle just a few short months before.

What began in 2009 as “just a few friends getting together” to open up an important dialogue on women’s health while raising money to support local women walking through the fire of breast cancer, grew to include nearly 75 women from all walks of life. They gathered in the Old Shasta Schoolhouse, listening to the first-hand account of a woman who had survived. There were pink cupcakes, pink tablecloths, raffle items and women of all

ages wearing pink in solidarity. The blackboard of the old schoolhouse, filled with special messages to survivors and lost loved ones alike, was evidence that cancer had touched each and every one of them.

But after three years of being a one-woman operation, Hicklin realized that trying to coordinate an event of this magnitude on her own was a recipe for exhaustion.

It was then, in 2011, that she stumbled on an email that would redirect her path. Norcal Think Pink had sent a notification that the Redding Rodeo Association and Auxillary were looking for volunteers for Chicks n Chaps, a national organization that was putting down roots on the West Coast for the first time, right here in the North State.

Chicks n Chaps got its start in Missoula, Mont., in spring 2008. Shannone Hart founded Chicks n Chaps to help to offset the costs associated with breast cancer treatment for women like her mother, who was undergoing chemotherapy and a double mastectomy.4 continued on page 52

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 51

Hart had a chance to meet the chairman of the Missoula Stampede and pitched the unique idea of teaching the women in attendance about the rodeo while raising funds for breast cancer. With only three months to plan, Hart and her co-organizer, Staci Flynn, managed to gather 170 women for an event that raked in $20,000 for Tough Enough to Wear Pink of Montana.

During the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Hart approached a member of the Redding Rodeo Association to see if they would be willing to promote the first West Coast chapter of Chicks n Chaps. It was then that Laurie Alexander, vice president of the Redding Rodeo Association Auxiliary, was set on her own new path.

Alexander would be responsible for figuring out how to incorporate this organization into the local Redding Rodeo dynamic in support of local women during their struggles to overcome breast cancer.

Alexander knows those struggles personally. In 1998, she lost her sister in law, Marcella, to the disease.

Alexander’s mother, who has had breast cancer three times in a 10-year span, is in the end stage of the disease.

“I want these women to understand that they are not alone. I want to be there for them – to give them a sense of sisterhood.”

“The first year, we had about 40 ladies. We really didn’t know how it was all going to work out,” says Alexander.

But with strong support from Linda and Carl Bott of KCNR 1460’s Free Fire Radio, Sierra Pacific Industries and Signarama, among others, Chicks n Chaps has become a fixture at the Redding Rodeo.

“Until this year, we could only get grandstand seats in the south. This is Chicks n Chaps’ fifth year, and this time around, the event will be taking place in Rodeo Flats – and that’s prime rodeo real estate. We have new challenges to overcome each year, but it keeps growing and taking on its own life. If we didn’t have this amazing group of women, small and mighty as we are, we wouldn’t be able to do this,” says Alexander.

This year’s event on May 20 at the Redding Rodeo’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night will provide attendees with an opportunity to learn some viable information on early detection of breast cancer, in addition to hearing from a breast cancer survivor. John Growney and some local cowboys will be presenting some rodeo fundamentals, in addition to other highlights, including a stick horse barrel race, raffles, a live auction, food and drinks. And no ladies’ night would be complete without a swag bag full of everything a girl needs to feel fabulous, including a stylish commemorative t-shirt.

All proceeds from Chicks n Chaps will benefit local women through Mercy Foundation North, Norcal Think Pink and Redding Rodeo Auxillary’s Helping Hands, in addition to the survivor who will share her story at the event. •

Stitched in Time T H E CO LO R F U L H I S TO RY O F T H E R E D D I N G M E T H O D I S T C H U R C H Q U I LT

A LARGE QUILT HANGS in the Fireside Room at Redding Methodist Church. It bears a history as unique and colorful as its stitched squares, which depict the Methodist cross and flames surrounded by mountain scenery. Three shades of green form pine trees. A marbled purple and red pattern shapes two mountains, each topped with a triangle of solid snow white. Above them all spans a sky of several shades of blue.

This quilt exists because of a mishap that occurred more than 15 years ago. After a planned activity fell through, a member of the congregation volunteered to come up with something to occupy attendees of a 2001 church retreat near the shores of Lake McCumber. He happened to be a professional quilter, and he improvised a project that would coordinate

the efforts of perhaps 50 men, women and teenagers to create not only a lasting work of art, but a tangible example of the church way.

“The theme was When Life Gives You Scraps,” says Virginia Erickson, a seasoned church member with salt-and-pepper hair. “We put together the squares. There were several old sewing machines, and he gave us some instruction.” She didn’t need much, adding with a laugh, “I worked as a teacher, in home ec. I taught girls and boys how to sew.”

But, she says, most participants had never sewn anything in their lives.

And none of them knew what the finished quilt was going to look like – except the designer, who afterwards turned the sewn pieces into a quilt at home.4 continued on page 56 APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 55

“I’d never done anything like that before,” says Don Linn.

“It was a real seat-of-the-pants thing. I designed what was going to be the quilt on graph paper, then colored it in. I put the respective pieces of fabric in Ziploc bags with a diagram of just that portion of the quilt, and we handed those out to teams of four, if memory serves me correctly.”

Recently, Methodist churchgoers have been straining their memories to recall their individual roles in the creation of the quilt. Interest in the prized possession was renewed when the library committee announced that it was hosting a display of fiber arts between services on April 17, and that the quilt would be the centerpiece for the reception.

“It was outside, a nice day,” says Erickson’s husband Jim. “After the sewing was done, they sent us out on a hike or something. At the end of the day they had the pieces pinned together, hanging on a line between trees. It was gorgeous.”

“All I remember is that I was not a good seamstress,” recalls Shirley Steinberg. “Somehow I pricked my finger on the needle of the machine. I gave my life’s blood to that quilt.”

Shirley Lyon says she helped hand out the zip-top bags, which also included a piece of heavier, white fabric cut the size of a finished portion. “For backing,” she explains. “And people used it to sign their names.”

Lyon and Erickson lift the quilt away from the wall far enough to get behind it, and to see the numerous white patches on the back signed by all the quilters. Many rectangles are decorated with graffiti, doodles and some

HEALTH GREENVILLE Injury Prevention in Indian Country

WISE

Injury Prevention is a critical concern for the 566 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes in the United States according to Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This plan defines injury as “the physical damage that results when a human body is suddenly subjected to energy in amounts that exceed the threshold of physiologic tolerance—or else the result of a lack of one or more vital elements, such as oxygen.”

Unintentional injuries are predictable and preventable when proper safety precautions are taken, they are not “accidents”. An accident is an unforeseen or unplanned event; or an event occurring by change, crashes are not accidents.

Unintentional injuries refers to the following causes or mechanisms of injury and is the third leading cause of death in AI/AN communities (after cancer and heart disease). Even more troubling, accidental injuries are the number one killer of young AI/AN people between infancy and middle age.

There are two injury types; unintentional and intentional. Unintentional are motor vehicle crashes, drownings, fire/burns, falls, poisoning and environmental. Intentional injuries are homicides, suicides, assaults, child abuse and domestic violence.

What accounts for these accidental injuries? The IHS Injury Prevention Program cites a number of interconnected factors, including: the high proportion of young adults in AI/AN communities; hazards associated

with living in rural environments; limited resources for providing safety infrastructure, such as street lighting, on reservations; low seatbelt and car seat use among AI/AN people; the need for stronger enforcement of state and tribal traffic safety laws; and higher-than-average numbers of alcoholrelated accidents.

How do we go about addressing injury prevention? Understanding the culture of individual AI/AN communities is vital to planning and implementing injury prevention programs. It is important for the Health Care Team to be aware of their community’s tribal history, traditional health and wellness practices, political structure, community infrastructure, demographics, and lifestyle. It’s best to have your Community Health Representatives (CHR’s) build a rapport with the community and establish that trust relationship.

How can we educate our Community?

1. By promoting comprehensive education through events such as health fairs, visiting after school programs and home visits by CHR’s.

2. Educating the community on the following subjects such as: Seatbelt and car seat safety, helmet use, fire safety and fall prevention.

3. Increasing understanding about injury problems and sharing effective solutions are key to helping reduce injuries.

What is the Goal? The goal is to reduce the number of injuries amongst our community members

skilled illustration. The women turn their attention to the front of the quilt, Lyon bending to examine the river, Erickson brushing her fingertips high on the cross. Fifteen years gone, no one can remember what portion of the artwork they contributed.

“The point of the whole thing is supposed to hit you on two levels,” says Director of Ministry Peggy Rebol. “One, the physical quilting: We took things that seemed to be unrelated, and it turned out to be something beautiful.

Spiritually, our lives are woven together from parts – family and events.”

The finished quilt hung from the balcony in the sanctuary for a few years before being presented in 2004 to the departing minister, Bill Stegall, as a retirement gift. Stegall’s wife, Mary, says they kept it at their place in Shingletown until they moved out, and lacking room for such a large item, returned it to the church.

Mary and Bill were among those who sewed pieces for the quilt at Camp McCumber that year. “We were amazed at what we had created. It was more than arts and crafts. It was about what we could do by working together.” •

J A C K S O N B R O W N E TO P E R F O R M AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E A POET, PHILOSOPHER AND MUSICIAN, Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music, along with defining a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics.

He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2007.

Beyond his music, Browne is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights and arts education. He co-founded Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE), Nukefree.org and Success Through the Arts Foundation, which provides education opportunities for students in South Los Angeles.

He received the John Steinbeck Award, given to artists whose works exemplify the environmental and social values that were essential to the great California-born author, plus Duke University’s Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts award.

He received the World Hunger Year Harry Chapin Award and the National Association of Recording Merchandisers’ Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award.

Says Browne, “There was more nurturing going on in the ‘60s, because everyone was under the spell of all the changes that were happening, all kinds of awakenings and revolutions, spiritual awareness, civil rights, political change, opposition to the war, sexual revolution. It’s almost as if they’ve gone away now. Things have returned to a sort of material order.

But I got the friendship and interest of people back then who saw some potential in my music. They encouraged me and helped me along. And I gotta say, I was happy to just coast along and work to develop myself.”

His debut album didn't appear until 1972, when it was released on David Geffen's Asylum label, though Browne had been working in the music business since the mid1960s. Having been part of the original line-up of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, he later moved to New York and signed a publishing deal with Nina Music, a division of Elektra, and wrote songs recorded by popular musicians, like Tom Rush, Nico and the Eagles.

In the early ‘70s, he was celebrated as one of the core members of the era's singer-songwriter boom, alongside folk-rockers like James Taylor, Neil Young and Carole King.

His career has run the gamut from the intensely personal reflections on the albums “Late for the Sky” or “The Pretender,” via the hugely successful live album “Running On Empty” to the strong political songs on “Lives In the Balance” and “World In Motion.”4 continued on page 60 APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 59

“I DON’T WANT TO PREACH TO PEOPLE. I WANT TO CATCH THEIR INTEREST.” ~Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne Tuesday, April 26, Cascade Theatre www.cascadetheatre.org 60 | ENJOY APRIL 2016

“I’d have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe, and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it. It’s a way of examining my feelings and my perceptions and my situation and coming up with something about it, like saying where I am in the world in relation to those things. And some of the songs I wrote when I was really young are some of my best-known songs, and other people still sing ’em, I still sing ’em. The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that’s probably my favorite thing that I’ve done.”

Explaining his writing process, he says, “You know, you have a conscious mind and you have an unconscious mind. And there’s the stuff that you think when you’re using your head, as they say, and there’s the stuff that you think when you’re not using your head that you are nonetheless thinking, but it’s just below the surface. And so much music, especially the truthful stuff, comes not from the mind that works out equations or thinks of what you’re gonna do, but from the depths of your subconscious.”

Today, Browne has 14 studio albums and four collections of live performances. His most recent album, “Standing in the Breach,” contains songs about romance, mortality and what he views as the greed and apathy threatening the environment and the lives of impoverished people in places like Haiti, whose devastating 2010 earthquake is the inspiration for the record’s title track and cover photo.

Says Browne, “I don’t want to preach to people. I want to catch their interest. The song is me writing about an earthquake, and then it turns into a song about what’s really going on in that country, the perpetuation of the inequities that gave rise to slavery in the first place.” • Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico Enterprise-Record, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue and Rolling Stone magazines.

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

Flight

J O E F R I E D M A N DA N C E S A R O U N D T H E WO R L D GRACEFUL AND ATHLETIC, strong and elastic. On earth, Joe Friedman bends like a contortionist. In the air, he defies gravity.

And at age 19, those skills have earned him the opportunity to travel the world.

Friedman was a student, competition team member and dance teacher at California Dance Company before being hired as aerial captain and dancer at Celebrity Cruises. In the past few months, the job has taken him throughout the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

“There was no fancy college education involved with getting this job, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of studying and hard work,” Friedman says.

Friedman’s love for dance began when he was 14 and “my sister bribed me to be her partner.” He fell in love with ballroom dance, and continued to learn different styles under the instruction of Ron and Faith Lane. Then his brother, Max, began teaching a boys’ hip-hop class at California Dance Company and convinced Friedman to take it. “Once I got a taste of it, I couldn’t stop,” he says.

One class led to another, and soon he was taking three or four classes a night. Being homeschooled gave him

the opportunity to decide where to channel his time and energy, and with the encouragement of his parents, Erin and Craig Friedman of Cottonwood, “I pretty much lived and breathed dance for the last five years—rehearsing, performing, teaching, choreographing and creating videos,” he says.

At age 17, he decided to turn his passion into his career, and he and his parents researched the requirements to become a professional performer. With the help of Skip Murphy, Hannah Dorman, Tory Meredith and Brandon Burgess, he posted his first audition “show-reel,” a compilation of videos that showcase a dancer’s abilities and previous work.

The day after he sent the video to Celebrity Cruises, they offered him a six-month contract on the Celebrity Constellation as an aerial specialist—someone who is trained in aerial skills on specialty apparatus, including hoops, silks, nets, harnesses and straps. He spent two months training in Miami and was promoted to aerial captain, where he is charged with conditioning the cast, safety inspections and cleaning all aerial routines in the shows.4 continued on page 64

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 63

“Since I started dancing, my dream has been to dance and travel the world,” says Friedman, “The fact that I'm doing both of those things while saving up money is truly a dream come true.”

He was strongly influenced by Sonya Kennedy, owner of the California Dance Company.

“Her professionalism and her push for excellence have been very important in shaping me into the dancer I am today,” Friedman says.

The respect is mutual, and Friedman’s positive energy is “incredible,” Kennedy says. “I don’t think he ever came to the studio in a bad mood. His work ethic is extraordinary. If he wants something, he’s going to go for it and he won’t stop until he gets it.”

Friedman’s favorite aerial stunt is a handloop swing. “I slip my hands into two handles attached to the bottom of the aerial net, then run forward off the edge of the stage as my rigger (a highly trained aerial motor operator) pulls me up into the air above the audience. In that moment, when I run off the edge of the stage, it truly feels like flying,” he says. “It's an incredible feeling.”

When his six months is up, he’ll return to Shasta County to “catch up with my family, friends, students and animals” before heading on to his next adventure – in September, he’ll be back aboard the Celebrity Constellation, but bound for Asia this time. Ports will include Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bangkok and Hong Kong.

“I'm excited to be able to say that my dancing has opened up the whole world to me, and I will have landed on four continents, and explored more than 25 countries, before turning 21 years old,” he says.

After that, he plans to set his roots in Los Angeles and pursue “life as a professional dancer,” he says. “I’m looking forward to finding out where life takes me from there.”

But he hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

“I am so lucky to have such an amazing support group from my home town. Almost every day, I get a new message from either my students, students’ parents or friends, telling me how much they miss me, and how proud they are to see me pursuing my dreams,” he says. •

In that moment, when I run off the edge of the stage, it truly feels

G E T R E A DY T O S T E P O U T I N STYLE THIS SPRING

SPRING HAS SPRUNG! After months of static cling hair, dark makeup tones and chapped lips, we’re ready to break out some colorful beauty goodies.

Even the most adventurous of beauties gets sick of the deep tones after a few weeks. Lucky for us, spring gives us the chance to experiment and infuse a bit more color into our beauty routines.

Embrace the “it” color of the season—blue. Believe it or not, a stroke of blue revitalizes dull, tired eyes. Lining just the lower lashes in cobalt instead of your usual brown or black adds nearly effortless pop. Choose a soft pencil and apply it very close to the lashes, smudging with a small brush. If you want the color to stand out more, layer a similarly hued shadow on top. To define more of the eye, use a soft, neutral shadow, such as champagne, on lids and line the top lashes in black.4 continued on page 68

APRIL 2016 ENJOY | 67

If red lipstick is the LBD of the beauty world, then fuchsia is the leather jacket.

This season’s orchid color is feminine yet edgy. To achieve this look, layer a matte fluid formula under a cream lipstick for a vibrant, longwearing finish. (Try MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Personal Statement and To Matte With Love, $20 each, and lipstick in Girl About Town and Flat Out Fabulous, $17 each.)

For a more subtle color, try Nars Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Années Folles, $26. The lavender hue is surprisingly flattering.

The days are slowly getting longer and you know what that means – it’s almost time to trade our winter sweaters for cute tops and our snow boots for sandals. But before you start stocking your wardrobe with shorts, sleeveless tops and sundresses, there are a few skin issues you need to take care of. Just like animals shed their winter coats, you, too, need to shed all the dry, dead skin from your body. To do this, use an exfoliating cloth or brush with a good scrub all over your face and body while you’re in the shower. (Use something gentler on your face.) Replenish your skin’s hydration by applying a soothing lotion all over, and don’t neglect your elbows or feet, which probably have a few dry patches after a long winter. And even though you’ve been avoiding your razor since October, now is the time to get back into your hair removal routine—be it waxing, shaving or lasering. No matter what the method, be sure to moisturize afterwards and always use sunscreen.

Color not really your thing? What about sparkle? Go 24 karat with a gold shadow, or full Cleopatra with black, winged liner and a bold wash of gold glitter. A few swipes of light-reflecting metallic eyeliner can pull your look together, stat. Copper or bronze are best for those with green, brown or hazel eyes, and silver or gold for blue peepers. Used along top, bottom or both lash lines, it’s more powerful than shadow but not quite as heavy as the typical pigmented liners.

But don’t let your face have all the fun—paint on three to four coats of glitter polish to get a chunky, raised effect.

To up the shine, paint on three layers of glossy topcoat.

Even if you’re only heading to the grocery store, a metallic sheen gives a rich flair to your entire look.

Bye-bye dark manis, hello pretty pastels and bright hues! This spring, the color of the moment is anything that makes your fingers sparkle.

Many people shy away from color, concerned that it makes them stand out. On the contrary, a uniform of all black stands out more when the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the stores are awash in a sea of springtime pastels and Easter egg brights. Embrace this season’s vibrant palette and know that there really is a hue that will bring the color back into your cheeks, add a “spring” to your step and a cool, self-assured spirit of confidence to the (finally) warm air. •

Garden

A Z A L E A S TAT E N AT U R A L R E S E R V E CALIFORNIA’S NORTH COAST is one of the lushest, greenest places in the state, with trails leading deeper into ancient groves, tall, secretive and close. Among the trees there’s a quiet and stillness, a solitude and timelessness created by the forest’s multiple shades of green. But between the months of April and June, you’ll find certain open plains and trail bends where the stillness is shocked by an explosion of color.

The western azalea (Rhododendron occidentale) is a shrub native to the northern coast that blooms in the late spring months, bringing with them a brilliant interruption of color to an otherwise green forest. One of the largest

natural stands of these plants can be found in McKinleyville, just north of Arcata, at the Azalea State Natural Reserve.

Michelle Forys, an environmental scientist for California State Parks, has worked with preserving these azalea stands since 2000, and believes the 30-acre reserve is the largest of its kind in Northern California – and of special interest since its azaleas are grown naturally from native stock, not in a nursery.

“When it comes to azaleas, they’re a successional, transition type of habitat,” explains Forys. The forest cycle is a succession of grassy plains, followed by shrubs, which are4 continued on page 72

ultimately covered by tree growth. “Western azaleas are a shrub component of the cycle,” continues Forys, “and if you allow the forest to grow over them, they will end up dying. They’re not shade tolerant, and need almost full sun to grow.”

One of Forys’ responsibilities as an environmental scientist is to preserve these western azalea stands by managing encroaching trees, collecting seeds and cuttings and raising individual plants for later transplanting.

The current 30 acres was first purchased by the state in 1943, but technically categorized as reserve in 1963. But the first effort to protect the western azaleas came in 1939, when Mrs. George Parrish became aware of the natural stand of azaleas in the McKinleyville area, says Forys, and then began to protect the land. Through donations and the help of other groups like Save the Redwoods League, Parrish was able to set aside enough land to keep the azaleas safe.

Fast forward 70 years, and preservation and funding are just as necessary to maintain these native stands of azaleas. “Right now I’ve been working with a couple garden clubs on trying to find funding to do propagation, collect seeds, cutting and grow more individual plants for transplanting,” says Forys.

Efforts from Parrish to Forys and other individuals have helped preserve a place that offers a wonderful contrast of color to the beauty of

the surrounding trees. “We have some really old shrubs that are 10 feet tall by five feet wide that have 100 blooms when they flower,” says Forys.

The flowers emit a slightly sweet scent, which can be enjoyed along the trail or while resting at the reserve’s picnic area.

Public roads run through the reserve, and parking is available to guests who’d like to explore its trails, which follow either side of the road and through open spaces and native spruce forest. There are no charges for entry or parking.

Forys, who began working seasonally with the park in 2000 and fulltime in 2006, still remembers her first impression of the azalea, and says it’s a sight worth seeing. “It was just a burst of color. You see these big shrubs that are covered in peach, pink, white big showy flowers, and it’s nice to walk through them. Up here there’s a lot of green, which is great,” adds Forys, trailing off. Indeed, sometimes a little bit of color can go a long way. • Azalea State Natural Reserve • McKinleyville, CA 95519

If I am out running errands, I often stop at Trader Joe’s for something quick for lunch. I peruse what I call the “grab and go” case trying new things, and I recently came upon Trader Joe’s Balela. I immediately became obsessed with Balela. The flavors were amazing.

It is a bit pricey, so I decided it might be more economical if I tried to make it myself, especially if you are serving it as a side with your family dinner. Also, by making it yourself, you can control the salt for a healthier

Looking at the list of ingredients, I played with it a few times and I think this recipe is pretty close to the Trader Joe’s version. It is a pretty simple recipe, but definitely a winner!

DANIEL B. LENSINK, M.D. OCULOFACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON Eureka Way, Suite • Redding • www lensinkmd com

by Billy Pilgrim It’s the town with the funny name, and just 27 miles east of Redding on Highway 44, but sometimes on a hot summer day, it seems like a world away. It’s Shingletown, California, population 2,300 (though the sign says 1,000).

In many wonderful and endearing ways, it is the town that time forgot.

Those 27 miles from Redding mean a journey into the tallest of tall trees in our area.

Summertime temperatures are consistently 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the Sacramento Valley.

Maybe that is the reason my parents moved to Shingletown from Los Angeles and built a huge, three-story farmhouse for our very large family.

Or maybe it was because it is the gateway to my father’s beloved Lassen Peak, where he would spend his free time hiking and cross-country skiing and taking photographs. Shingletown just feels different than other mountain communities in a very profound and spiritual way.

According to the great Shasta County historian Dottie Smith, the original name of Shingletown was Shingle Camp. Shingle-making camps sprung up all over the area because of the abundance of cedar trees. Shingle Camp begat Shingle Ridge, Shingle Creek and Shingletown. I have always been fond of “Shingleville,” although I might be the only one who refers to it that way.

It’s a term of endearment!

The community has a great history. The original Shingletown Store was built in 1854 and existed until 1966. A new version was built

a short distance away, and continues to thrive as a center of commerce. Its competitor, Reed’s Market, is within walking distance. Emigrant Trail was established in 1852, and was the busiest route for pioneers traveling into Shasta County in the 1850s and 1860s. Signs mark the original location. The Big Wheels Restaurant and Bar used to be one of the great watering holes in Shasta County, known far and wide for Leonard’s famous Bloody Marys. It burned to the ground twice in recent years – a massive stone fireplace is all that remains.

Recent and wonderful additions in past years include The Shingletown Medical Center (my dad was the lone town doctor at one time), the Totem Pole and the Shingletown Library (my mom was one of the original driving forces for the project).

There is a rich fabric of community, history and wonderful characters woven into this part of Shasta County. God surely blessed us with its beauty! It’s undeniably one of California’s great treasures. It’s the 474 and the 96088. It’s Grace Lake and Black Butte School, the KOA, Shasta Forest Village and Mary Queen of Peace. God Bless Shingletown.

Child Care A P R I L I S C H I L D A B U S E P R E V E N T I O N AWA R E N E S S M O N T H ALL CHILDREN DESERVE TO BE safe and healthy, and Shasta County’s Child Abuse Prevention Coordinating Council (CAPCC) seeks to make that vision a reality.

Child abuse is a serious concern in Shasta County, and Shasta CAPCC is a non-profit organization that tackles this issue in a variety of ways, from community outreach and youth development to family support and child abuse prevention education and awareness activities.

Shasta CAPCC is taking great strides toward prevention. “We have run the Anderson Teen Center for more than 10 years. We serve about 45 kids a day there,” says Rachelle Modena, executive director of Shasta CAPCC. “It’s a voluntary community center where kids come in and we do tutoring, mentoring, cooking classes, peer-to-peer support, movie nights…It’s really that other safe place for kids to go that might not fit into traditional after-school programming.”

Shasta CAPCC’s Family Resource Center provides parenting education, home visiting, housing and job lists, material items for parents such as diapers, baby clothes and household products and more. Walk-ins are welcome on Mondays from 9am to 4pm and by appointment any other day of the week.

Modena says Shasta CAPCC’s vision spans across all of its centers. “Their work is really about the same, as far as working with families, getting them connected to resources that they need to make their family stronger and that can really vary from family to family,” says Modena about the Family Resource Center. “It could be Little League, preschool, child care, counseling, drug and alcohol treatment, transportation, housing. We really just work with families and try to help them get stronger, to build on their strengths and get them the resources that they need to reduce their risks.”

86 | ENJOY APRIL 2016

Shasta CAPCC also holds free mandated reporter trainings once every other month, community baby showers for pregnant moms and parent cafes once a month “which are wildly popular right now,” Modena says.

“Families have dinner together, kids go to child care and parents stay with us. We have great conversations around strengthening yourself as a parent.”

Along with these primary facilities and programs, Shasta CAPCC provides information and resources for any parent that may have a question or concern. “We know that for all families, no matter who you are, there’s going to come a time when you need help and you don’t know what to do,” Modena says. “So we really want to be that place that any family can call up and say, ‘Hey, I don’t know how to find this,’ ‘I don’t know what to do.’ ‘I have this problem with my child,’ or ‘I’m having this problem with my husband and it’s hurting my family. What do I do?’

We’re kind of normalizing asking for help as a parent, that it’s OK to do that.”

April is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month and Shasta CAPCC has many events planned. A ceremonial planting of a Pinwheel Garden of Hope kicks off the month at Shasta CAPCC’s office on March 31, at 10am. “The pinwheel is a symbol of the childhood that we want all of our children to have that is healthy, happy, safe and free of abuse,” Modena says.

Other events throughout the month include two dine and donate events (one at Mary’s Pizza Shack and another at Shameless O’Leery’s), a Wear Blue for Kids business contest, the Anderson Family Fun Fest and Free Fishing Day, open houses for the Teen Center and the Family Resource Center and more.

“To wrap up the month, we have our annual tri-tip barbecue lunch on April 28 from 11am to 1pm. That will be down at the Redding Rodeo grounds by the Asphalt Cowboys Clubhouse,” says Modena. “We always have a really great raffle and we do dine-in, drive-thru and delivery for those sandwiches.”

Through their many programs and resources for child abuse prevention, Shasta CAPCC’s passion for helping families is evident.

“We’re here to strengthen the community and parents,” says Modena. • 2280 Benton Drive, Building C, Suite A, Redding (530) 241-5816 x207 • www.ShastaCAPC.org Find Shasta CAPCC on Facebook and Twitter

Did you hear about the banker who helped homeowners

energize their cash flow?

Home Equity Lines of Credit James and Diane Purcell were warming to the idea of solar for their home, but they wanted to manage the financing according to their cash flow and timeline.

Tri Counties Banker Nikki Uecker and her team had a shining idea. A home equity line of credit for flexibility, plus the savings from going solar could offset their loan payments, allowing them to do additional home improvements. More importantly, they stayed on time and on budget. It’s blue skies from here. How can we brighten your financial outlook?
