If you prefer sky-high adventures, hang gliders and paragliders have soared above the Hat Creek Valley for decades. Sky sailors say there’s nowhere quite like the Hat Creek Rim. “It’s a magical place, not like anywhere else in world,” says Redding’s Chad Glissmeyer. We’ll give you a peek from below the wings.

There’s still time to pencil in another excursion before summer ends – our third Weekend Getaways story will give you hints for touring the Napa Valley with friends. Wineries, golf courses, outdoor adventures and exquisite dining options make it an ideal destination for a double or triple date. We’ve also got some road trip tips for exploring the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway.

Closer to home, consider a visit to the awe-inspiring Northern California Veterans Museum & Heritage Center, which features mementos and artifacts from all branches of military service and all periods of conflict in which Americans have served.

Inspiration is all around us. Tommy Corey, a young man with a camera and a compassionate heart, is the force behind the Self-Worth Project, which illustrates how fears and insecurities lie within all of us, and how it’s up to us to care for each other. Not even a year old, his remarkable project has drawn worldwide participation.

Feeling blues? So is 21st century Mississippi bluesman Grady Champion, who’s part of a new generation of blues artists emerging from R&B and hip-hop backgrounds to rediscover America’s musical roots. He’ll perform the last show of MarketFest’s season on Aug. 11.

And don’t forget to join us for Enjoy Movies in the Park. In August, this free, family-friendly event moves to the Redding Convention Center lawn, and donations benefit Help, Inc. Bring your lawnchair or a blanket.

take a S H A S TA L A K E ’ S B I G D I P P E R C A F E Built in 1937 to feed hungry dam workers, the Big Dipper Café is Shasta Lake’s oldest restaurant and, as expected, the happy little eatery is steeped in history.

It’s also steeped in character, thanks to its owner who, four years later, is still not quite sure how she ended up running a restaurant.

A pharmacy technician by trade, Valerie Hardy says she was talked into buying the Big Dipper by her daughter, Sheli, who promised she would help. Sheli, instead, opened a beauty parlor, closed it and moved back to Visalia.

And so the Big Dipper adventure began. Hardy’s track record was hardly auspicious: several years ago, she spent two weeks working as a waitress at a Copper Penny restaurant and swore she would never work at a restaurant again.

“There’ve been some ups and downs, but we’ve grown a lot. I’ve made lots and lots of friends. I don’t have customers anymore, I just have friends,” Hardy says. Which is a good thing, since friends are willing to overlook a key shortcoming: “I’m the world’s worst waitress,” Hardy says with a laugh.

The Big Dipper is the kind of café where it’s not uncommon for regulars to come in with their own coffee cup, and Hardy knows which mug belongs to which diner. “I like to think of it as ‘Cheers’ without the alcohol,” she says.

“I joke with everybody who comes in—the restaurant is my stage,” adds Hardy, who is no stranger to the conventional stage, having most recently performed in the Riverfront Playhouse production of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” A couple of years earlier, Hardy had a role in Riverfront’s “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.”

Becoming a restaurateur was not on Hardy’s radar when she was traveling around the country with Steve, her late husband, nor was it in the plans when she moved to the North State in 2002 with Bill, her longtime companion. When Bill passed away in 2006, Hardy decided to take a breather and quit her job with Owens Healthcare.

Not long after that, a for-sale sign went up at the Big Dipper and Sheli began pestering her mom to find out more. Hardy relented, made what she thought was a somewhat low offer and was surprised 16 Enjoy August 2011

to learn it had been accepted.

“Plus, I heard somebody wanted to buy it and change the name, and I thought that was wrong,” Hardy says. She received the keys to her very own restaurant in May 2007.

Hardy said she found herself in a bit of a bind a couple years later so her bookkeeper, Jane Brenestahl, stepped in and began waiting tables. Brenestahl, who is just as comfortable with the Big Dipper’s customers as Hardy, expressed an interest in cooking and was soon spending time in the kitchen.

“We both do whatever needs to be done,” Hardy says, whether it’s washing dishes, preparing orders or waiting tables. Both women take a lot of pride in the meals they dish out. “I sincerely think we have the best burger in town, and I think we make the best gravy for our biscuits,” Hardy says.

The Big Dipper started as an ice cream parlor, Hardy says, and the name referred to the generous scoop of homemade ice cream customers received with their pie. Rod Lindsay, the current mayor of Shasta Lake, owned the restaurant in the 1980s and served Indian tacos and other Native American fare. A subsequent owner offered Mexican food.

“I get little bits and pieces of its history all the time,” Hardy says.

When she gets old photos and newspaper clippings, they often end up framed and displayed on the dining room walls. As a tribute to her late husband, who served in the Navy, Hardy has dedicated one wall for honoring customers and other Shasta Lake residents who are serving their country or are veterans of military service. • Big Dipper Café 4197 Shasta Dam Blvd., Shasta Lake (530) 275-0366 Hours: 7 am to 2 pm daily; closed on Thursdays Jon Lewis has been a writer for the past 31 years, working at newspapers in Woodland, Davis, Vacaville and Redding.

ROAD TRIP!

E xploring the V olcanic L egacy scenic byway

It’s an exhilaration all road trippers understand.

Surprises arise when we open our eyes to ever-changing vistas.

Our most recent road trip took shape despite unpredictable weather.

We invited another couple to join us for five days of exploration along what has earned the prestigious distinction of “Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, an All-American Road.” My husband John carved time out of his work schedule in midMay and our friends Dr. Jerry Nystrom and his wife Elly jumped on board when we suggested the trip.

DAY 1

Photo: Suzanne Scull

Jerry and Elly led the way from Redding along back roads we had never taken—east and south toward Manton passing a million miles of rock fence and atop plateaus with 360-degree views. We turned east on Highway 36 to our first stop at the south end of Lassen Volcanic National Park and Kohm Yah-nah-nee Visitor Center. We picnicked in front of 25-foot snow walls and learned all about the powerful eruption of Lassen Peak in 1915 that changed the landscape and the lives of those who lived in its shadow.

Turning south on Highway 89, we found our lodging at The Bidwell House Bed and Breakfast Inn on Main Street in Chester. continued on page 20 August 2011 Enjoy 19

DAY 2

through Lassen Park due to heavy snowpack, we took County Road 111 from Westwood.

Wildflowers in brilliant color and the scent of cedar and pines lining the roadway cheered us along our route. Hat Creek Rim Overlook offered views of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in all their snow-covered glory as well as other distinguishable peaks surrounding Hat Creek Valley below. There we read, “The mountain is at our door,” written in a journal by Thelma Honn Morris as Lassen Peak erupted. Later, driving along Hat Creek, we passed the old Honn House. I imagined Thelma and her family as they ran for their lives.

Outside Subway Cave, we enjoyed a quiet lunch near Old Station at the junction of Highways 44 and 89. Our quick tour of the lava tube required flashlights and

DAY 3

Highway 89 joins Interstate 5 in Mount Shasta where we ate a late breakfast at Lily’s before heading north. Thirteen miles northeast of Weed on Highway 97, integrated into the high desert landscape, the Living Memorial Sculpture Garden deeply moved us all. Honoring veterans from every American conflict, Dennis Smith’s metal sculptures inspired us with their depiction of valor and sacrifice. Then it was time to make a bee-line through Butte Valley National Grasslands, observing the abundance of birds migrating along the Pacific Flyway before arriving in Klamath Falls and the Running Y Resort, our lodging for the last two nights of our trip.

20 Enjoy August 2011

careful walking on a rocky floor. Onward, along a ribbon of road between Burney and McCloud, Highway 89 points directly at Mt. Shasta, considered “the anchor of the Cascade Range.” We stopped often to snap photos, the mountain stealing our breath with its majesty.

Upper and Lower McCloud Falls joined other jewels we discovered along Highway 89. Heavy rains and melting snow pouring into McCloud River spilled over volcanic rock and crashed furiously into swirling pools below. Flowering manzanita and foraging golden mantel squirrels delighted us as we wondered at the conflicting peace and fury. We ended the day in the comforts of the Old Mill House in McCloud.

DAY 4

Photo: John Jackson

We awoke again to clear skies. A visit to a friend of the Nystroms gave us the unexpected pleasure of meeting Joan Sayre, co-director of Chester-Lake Almanor Museum. She opened the museum for a private tour where we read from the original Chester Hotel register. The proprietor had recorded in red ink his observations as the looming mountain rumbled through 1914.

His last entry in May 1915 described the moments when the plug dome volcano collapsed.

Chester and Lake Almanor claim distinction as gateway to the volcanic heritage of the Cascade Range and as a “hidden jewel” at the junction of many highways converging from all points on the compass.

Heading north but bypassing Highway 89

Park Ranger Dave Grimes spoke with us about life on the rim of Crater Lake. Though the late spring snow only allowed us as far as Discovery Point where we could look down at the lake and Wizard Island from our cars, Grimes painted a picture of the year-round beauty of Crater Lake National Park. From guided snowshoe tours to trolley rides, the park offers “wow” views from every angle.

He likes to let his guests “earn the view” on hikes when they crest the rim and are surprised by the lake-filled caldera. Crater Lake resulted when Mt. Mazama imploded more than 7,000 years ago. On this relaxing day, we fully enjoyed the view from the “top of the world” before returning the way we came on Highways 62 and 140. continued on page 22

DAY 5

Time to trip home. We diverted to the east on Highway 161, stopping with binoculars at Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Birds dived and scudded in the shallow waters before continuing their journey, just as we had to do. We met with former Park Ranger Terry Harris who now acts as chief of visitor services at Lava Beds National Monument.

A bizarre landscape within a diverse and varied volcanic chain, Lava Beds lies on the northern flank of Medicine Lake Volcano, a shield volcano that is surprisingly the largest (not the tallest) in the Cascade Range. Harris described the breadth of history Lava Beds National Monument shares with the outlying community along with its unusual geologic formations.

Taking County Road 10 from the south end of the park, we jigged and jogged until we found Highway 299 for the last leg home.

With 149 more America’s Scenic Byways and All-American Roads and sunny days ahead, we’re looking forward to the next ROAD TRIP!

Author’s Note: Our trip focused on the volcanic legacy and view from the car along this All-American Road, but it has so much more to offer.

Allison Scull, public relations officer for the Volcanic Legacy Community Partnership in Mount Shasta, provided advice and a wealth of printed and online information before our trip, encouraging a closer look at some of the wonderful sights along the road. We will revisit many of the places we discovered on this adventure and perhaps take time to find new and even more inspiring hidden treasures along the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, an All-American Road.

The National Scenic Byways program was established by Congress in 1991 and is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads earn their designations 22 Enjoy August 2011

based on archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities.

“Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway is part of the America’s Byways® collection of 150 distinct driving routes recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation,” explained Michelle Johnson, Director of the America’s Byways Resource Center. “Because of its nationally significant archaeological history and natural intrinsic qualities, the route earned the coveted All-American Road designation in 2002.” •

Rejection. Body image. Invisible. Unpretty. Heartbreak.

Codependent. Unloved.

These fears and insecurities once hung like weights upon these people’s souls. And then Tommy Corey wrote those words on their bodies, photographed them for an online gallery, and watched their fear turn to power.

Corey, a 2005 graduate of Enterprise High School in Redding, was overwhelmed with despair after a rash of teen suicides last fall.

Because he too was bullied as a teenager, the photographer decided to fight back in the way he knew best – speaking through his camera.

Since October, The Self-Worth Project has amassed nearly 10,000 worldwide Facebook fans. About 200 people have posed for photos.

Using a purple permanent marker, he wrote “GIRLS” on his brother Mikey’s forehead, and the resulting photograph captures Mikey screaming in frustration. (Part of that frustration was directed at Corey, who then made his first adaptation of the project – use dryerase markers instead.)

After taking a few more photographs, he posted them on his 24 Enjoy August 2011

personal Facebook page. Some friends said his images brought them to tears. Others asked to pose for photos. And when Corey established a Facebook page for the project itself, many, many people shared his work with their friends and families.

Some people’s words represent insecurities, while others encompass medical disorders or identity issues surrounding race, gender and religion. “It proves how we all have something that keeps us awake at night,” Corey says. “The feeling of insecurity is so universal.”

One woman has “eating disorder recovery” written on her abdomen. Another holds colorful balloons, smiling broadly with the words “pretending I’m OK” written on her outstretched arm. A woman with “domestic violence” on her chest sits in darkness amidst a sea of candles. A muscular man sits on the ground with his shirt off, revealing the words “not capable” alongside a scar that runs from mid-back to below his waistband, his wheelchair in the distance.

Sometimes he plans the photos in advance, but “most of the time I’m just spitballin’,” he says with his trademark wit.

For Lizzie Boyle’s “attempted suicide” photo, the pair came across a cemetery with an enormous monument of the 23rd Psalm that ended up serving as the background for one of his most memorable images.

“That psalm is a comfort for those who have lost others,” Corey says.

“It was a total stumble-upon.”

His tools are an XTI Canon “and a $30 crappy flash I bought from Best Buy,” he says. “I have no light boxes, no umbrella. People look surprised when I come to a photo shoot with nothing but my camera and say, ‘OK, you ready?’”

He uses Photoshop for minor editing, but leaves most images virtually untouched. “Sometimes I’ll change it to black and white, and some have one color, but I don’t want it to look very different,” he says.

As he uploads photos to his gallery, he lists the person’s name (if they wish) and nothing more. “Once you give away the story, it can lose its appeal,” Corey says. “Sometimes a person will say, ‘I love the symbolism in that one,’ and I’ll think, ‘What symbolism?’ It’s art, so people interpret it differently and customize it to their own personal

life.”

He has displayed photographs at ArtHop, made presentations at the Cascade Theatre and the El Rey Theater in Chico, and traveled to Seattle, Southern California and Denver (where he was a guest on a radio show).

People are chosen for the project after sending an application to Corey. He also dreamed up the “Self-Worth Project Poster Child Contest.” People sent in their word and their story; Corey and his team will fly to the winner’s hometown to photograph them and 10 of their family and friends. He’s hosting an online poll asking where he should go next, letting fans drive the project. “Everything that’s happened has been because people have made it grow,” he says.

Through this journey, he’s made deep connections with complete strangers, including Natalie Richard of Parlier. “I’d never met this girl, but she said, ‘Come to my little farmtown.’ So we did. She made a big brunch for us … she even pitched in money for gas,” Corey says.

When he arrived, Richard says she found Corey “very magnetic

and endearing. He has so much energy it’s awe inspiring,” she says.

Her phrase was “used to be,” and during the shoot, “I was so nervous … but Tommy made me feel like my story was the only one he had ever heard, and that it was worth hearing and knowing. I felt for that moment I was being completely revealed, without ever being scared, because it felt so safe to talk with him.”

This project empowers viewers and participants alike, she says. “I think the project offers people a way of quietly expressing the things that stifle them,” Richard says. “It is a way to solemnly show one piece of you that is sensitive and fragile, and most likely hidden out of sight. Being able to do that offers a sense of community amongst not only the participants, but in the people who view the photos. It puts a real person to the idea that no one is perfect.”

Bernie Berkowitz, the son of Holocaust survivors who used an anti-Jewish ethnic slur as his word, shared the story behind his photo during Corey’s presentation at the Cascade Theatre. “I feel very passionate about what Tommy’s doing ,” he says.

“It’s making a positive impact.”

Boyle, who also presented her story at the Cascade, says, “I think the project is especially important to our community because it forces people to open their eyes and face the difficult issues in life through the courage of another person. In a world where so many people deal with their problems by ignoring them, The Self-Worth Project has given people a voice and an outlet for change.”

As the project approaches its one-year anniversary, Corey has some short-term goals in mind. He wants to start making products – bumper stickers, perhaps a clothing line – and host more presentations. He wants to publish a coffee table book about the project, and he dreams of having his work displayed in the Museum of Modern Art. He was recently able to check an item off his wish list when Charles Rapaglia asked if he could have his word written in another language. On his neck is “love unreciprocated” in Korean.

“I’d thought about it, but hadn’t executed it,” Corey says. “I’ve gotten comments that say, ‘All of us over here in Korea love this photo,’ and it just blew me away.”

He’d love to photograph Whoopi Goldberg and “someone huge like Lady Gaga who believes in these things. I’d like to photograph a famous football player to show how universal it is.”

He would also like to establish his own nonprofit organization; for now, he works under the umbrella of Help, Inc. “I’m not doing this for money, though I’m going to have to make some eventually,” he acknowledges. And he plans to share his own word one day – he has chosen it, but is waiting for the perfect opportunity to reveal it.

The project has helped him to learn, grow and heal from his own struggles, including having more compassion for people like the ones who once tormented him. “People with mean spirits also come from a place of pain and we need to understand that to help them heal, too,” he says.

Most of all, he hopes to continue to inspire others. He’s tickled when people tell him that the hit TV show “Glee” mimicked his work with a show in which characters wore T-shirts with insecurities written on them. “It’s such a simple idea, anyone could think of it,” he says. “If someone is using it to spread the word, it’s great. And if Glee knows about the Self-Worth Project, that’s pretty awesome.” •

t r a m S k Loo get in gear for back-to - school shopping You may still be basking in the warm haze of summer, but you’ll have to face the music very soon: back-to-school shopping for your kids.

As a teacher, I’d like to ask you to please consider the school dress code before you invest in those holey jeans and fuchsia hair streaks. After all, those same short shorts she wore in July could be cause for a lunch detention in August. Check your child’s parent/student handbook if you have questions – and remember, school is your child’s professional space.

So many times I hear students and parents say, “It’s hard to find shorts that are long enough/straps that are wide enough/jeans without frayed edges or holes.” So I decided to investigate to see what I could find locally.

If you have younger kids, Old Navy is a

great place to shop for basics, and their prices are competitive. Stock up on basic tees and tanks. They also have inexpensive swimwear and pajamas.

Online, check out www.childrensplace. com. This website boasts online coupons and free shipping, as well as a wide assortment of clothes for kids, sizes 4-14. A friend and colleague told me if she only had one store to shop for her kids, this would be it.

Chances are, your teen wants to shop at PacSun and American Eagle. A former student showed me a great pair of shorts at AE: The Midis. They’re convertible denim shorts that can be rolled up for the weekends, down for school. That way, parents aren’t buying several pairs of shorts ($39.50). And PacSun offers back-to-school continued on page 30

August 2011 Enjoy 29

sales online, as do many sites. Look for printable coupons or promotions. Banana Republic gives discounts to students and teachers (to my delight), so ask around to see what’s out there.

Speaking of online shopping, since you aren’t handling the clothing or trying it on, the wording used will give you a clue as to the cut and fit of the item. Clothes labeled “short short,” “superskinny,” “destroyed” or “mini” could all potentially hinder a comfortable learning environment. Skirts generally need to be fingertip length, which, I admit, was tough to find. The trend for skirts is that they are very short, and with your student sitting in desks all day and navigating the hallways and stairs, perhaps skirts aren’t the most practical choice for school.

According to Denise Craig, co-owner and clothing buyer for Boardmart, a 5-inch inseam is a good length for shorts. “It’s short enough to not feel like they’re in their mom’s shorts, and long enough to please mom and teacher,” she says. Craig is also up on many of the fall trends, including sturdy backpacks, of which Boardmart has many. “Layering is a great way to get around the rules,” she says. Racerbacks all the rage? No problem. Layer another tank underneath, that way, the straps are wide enough. Flip flops not allowed? Toms are a great alternative, says co-owner Kelli Ercolano.

And Boardmart carries a wide variety. And with every purchase of Toms, the company donates a pair to a child in need—One for One (www.toms.com/our-movement). Craig says there are many ways to incorporate trends into an existing wardrobe so you aren’t replacing the whole thing.

Boardmart has tons of back-to-school deals, so check them out at 1261 Market St., Redding.

Distressed denim is all the rage right now, but it is possible to find jeans without full-blown holes.

Watch the frayed edges and make sure you can’t see any skin underneath the “hole.” Some stores, such as Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister and American Eagle, are a bit more hole-prone than others.

Try Buckle (Miss Me jeans are fantastic for any age, and still very fashionable), Gap (great price point, classic clothes) and Nordstrom Rack (Seven jeans for a fraction of the original cost—so worth the drive!).

30 Enjoy August 2011

Sound overwhelming? Don’t fret. All you need is a plan of action.

Take inventory of what you have/need.

Weed out too-small or worn-out clothes. (Those shorts that fit her in 6th grade are probably not the appropriate length now that she’s in 8th.) Toss the ones that have outlived their usefulness and donate the rest to charity. Now you have an uncluttered view of the gaps in your child’s wardrobe.

Make a list.

You must have a plan of attack, otherwise, you’re more likely to buy itmes you don’t need.

Establish a budget.

You are your kids’ financial role model. A budget will give your child a clear understanding of what you can buy. With financial ground rules in place, you’ll be able to teach money-management skills and how to shop smart. Expensive item she simply must have? Arrange for her to pay for the extra expense from her allowance. (Things become less urgent.)

And finally, remember that you don’t have to do it all before school starts.

Spreading your shopping out over the first few weeks of the school year is smart. It gives your child time to check out what his peers are wearing and to make any necessary wardrobe adjustments. Also, shopping throughout the year becomes necessary as kids outgrow their clothes, enabling you to take advantage of clearance sales and promotions. •

Nature Hike

C lim B ing with styles Styles Larsen grips the small crack in a granite wall, pulling himself and his equipment farther up the vertical surface. His partner below is anchored with the rope, their lifeline. The sun streams over their taut muscles as careful deliberation results in Larsen anchoring himself to the next bolt on the rock face. His eyes are filled with the determination and tenacity needed for bold adventure climbing.

The two figures appear small against the granite dome. Castle Crags at 6,500 feet looms over the landscape bordering 2,000 feet of the Sacramento River. Castle Dome is a cousin in appearance to Half Dome at Yosemite National Park and gives the Crags its majestic appearance.

Larsen is the owner of Shasta Base Camp in Mount Shasta. For 20 years, he has developed the starting point of local adventure in backcountry skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing and the outdoor industry of Northern California. “Our shop has influenced mountain culture and community like no other retail business to date,” says

Larsen. “Our motto is ‘the core of mountain culture, the beginning of every adventure.’”

While a youth in Boy Scouts, Larsen developed a love for rock climbing. “What began in an indoor climbing gym has for me become a passion for mountain culture and drive to give information to folks who want to know the challenge of the outdoors,” Larsen says. “Shasta Base Camp is a portal, not just for equipment and rentals. We have a team that knows adventure sports. Whatever adventure you are seeking in the outdoors, someone here does it.”

Rock climbing in the Crags has resulted in Shasta Base Camp taking an active role in developing the sport. Where only a few climbing routes were established a decade ago over the granite towers, new adventures have been mapped out through the Crags along with a proactive stance of placing anchors and bolts along the routes for climbers, as well as replacing the equipment when necessary, making safety a top priority. continued on page 34

August 2011 Enjoy 33

A new challenge to local climbers is the impending closure of Castle Crags State Park, due to budget constraints. “We have been active in developing a new climbing area,” Larsen says. “The Crags are adventure climbing, requiring steeper technical knowledge and greater difficulty.

Right now we are promoting sports climbing, which is more accessible to more people.”

The newer climbing area is Lover’s Leap, located about 6 ½ miles from Callahan. This impressive ridge ends 5,079 feet above sea level.

The rock watches over the Noyse Valley. The limestone plug is a popular cross-country hiking spot, giving a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. Larsen says, “We are developing climbing guides and actively taking groups up the rock now. This area is so diverse in climbing opportunities, providing the climber with activities year round.”

Larsen sees climbing and other outdoors sports as more than events, but the creation of a culture and lifestyle. There is an effort to combine sports, fashion, art and music. The business promotes local athletes, art shows, live music and even “Pray for Snow” parties. “Base Camp is about community and culture,” he says. “We are about improving our community.

As a new day comes, Larsen unlocks the front door and people begin to gather inside the store. He reflects at where 20 years has taken him. “This truly is the beginning of adventure.” • Shasta Base Camp 3085 S. Mount Shasta Blvd., Mount Shasta (530) 926-2359 • www.shastabasecamp.com

this is what

feels like.

Have you ever heard of a woman diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer – even after a normal mammogram? It happens more often than you think. But, with the right screening, it doesn’t have to happen to you.

At North Valley Breast Clinic in Redding, we believe mammograms are excellent screening tools for many women. For those with dense breast tissue or at high risk of breast cancer, however, additional tests can be crucial for accurate detection.

We are the only clinic in the North State to offer breast cancer screening tailored to your specific needs. That means we detect more cancers, find them sooner, and discover them when they are smaller – an approach that could save your life.

Giving yourself the best chance to beat breast cancer ...

That’s what true peace feels like.

Nice Catch! hennigan ’ s spinning frisbee k 9 ’ s

A lot of people like to toss a Frisbee for their dog to catch. And, depending on the dog and depending on the throw, the dog hopefully will make a bit of a show out of catching it and bring it back with a wag of the tail to start the process all over.

That was certainly Herb Hennigan’s experience, only he was simultaneously throwing five Frisbees to five dogs—in front of 70,000 people during halftime of a Dallas Cowboys football game.

It was just another day at the office for Hennigan and his “Spinning Frisbee K9’s,” a traveling troupe of border collies that spent the better part of two decades entertaining folks throughout the United States as well as Canada, Germany and Korea.

The hoppin’ hounds were frequent performers at football games—including the 49ers, Raiders, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, Seahawks, Cal, Stanford and Oregon State—as well as baseball games featuring the San Francisco Giants, Oakland A’s, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Sacramento Rivercats. The disc-catching dogs were one of the longest-running shows at the California State Fair.

Televised appearances included “America’s Greatest Pets,” “Pet Star” on the Animal Planet network, “The Tonight Show,” “Penn & Teller’s Sin City Spectacular” and several commercials.

During the heyday of the show, Hennigan would travel with a dozen dogs.

With high-tempo music playing on the public address system, he would introduce each individual dog and have them perform a variety of spinning and Frisbeecatching tricks. continued on page 38

August 2011 Enjoy 37

The show stopper was always a synchronized four- or five-way catch. Video clips show the dogs streaking out, not unlike a Blue Angels jet team, as Hennigan flings rapid-fire Frisbees. Each dog spins furiously before leaping to snag his or her Frisbee.

“That’s what made it different,” Hennigan says. “I went out in mass.

I had to branch out with a bunch. It really worked for me over the years.

“I’ve been real fortunate. It’s just been a no-lose entertainment situation. I’m a retired carpenter now, but I was averaging 60 shows a year. To be a construction worker, and then the next thing to be throwing yourself out in front of 70,000 people…”

Hennigan and his wife, Saundra, and their dogs have made their home in Shingletown since moving from Woodland seven years ago.

Hennigan says he’s “semi retired” now and is able to pick and choose where he’ll perform. One of his latest gigs was in June at the third 38 Enjoy August 2011

annual Haven Humane Dog-a-Thon Festival at Anderson River Park.

“My dogs are getting older at this point. I’m down to seven that are workable,” Hennigan says. Even the highest flying dogs succumb to old age and eventually head off to that big dog run in the sky.

“That’s the sad thing when you deal with that many dogs. And these are family pets. It’s not just a business. I’ve lost three dogs this year and it’s devastating. That’s the downfall of the situation, but we have the others to soothe it out and we have some great memories.”

To continue at full strength, Hennigan says he’d have to get more dogs, and after “living the life” for 20 years and traveling the world, he’s thinking more along the lines of scaling back a little. “I’m going out with youngsters now and still tickling people,” he adds.

It’s not like he’s going to get lonely. The Hennigans currently host nine border collies and a Chihuahua, and life off the stage is pretty continued on page 40

comfy. “These are all inside house pets. We live as cleanly as anybody, although we may vacuum more than most. We chose to do this for years and it has worked for us. Some day it will get down to a couple of dogs,” Hennigan says.

It all started with Cow Dog, a border collie mix the Hennigans picked up in 1989. When Cow Dog showed an enthusiastic aptitude for catching Frisbees, man and dog were off to the races. In 1993, Cow Dog had captured second place in an international Frisbee competition held on the White House lawn.

More dogs were added as the years went by: Top Dog, Mama Drew, Striker Monster, TJ Flier, Sonny Boy, Turbo Tommy, Nicky Bright Star, Pistol Pete, Panda Diamond, Happy Roy, Little Lou and Keeper.

As his Spinning Frisbee K9’s act grew and improved, Hennigan picked up sponsorships with Science Diet and Frisbee.

Training began in the front room with Hennigan tossing discs from the edge of a couch and gradually progressed to outdoor fields.

“We do a lot of repetitious things: sitting up, lying down, rolling over.

You do it long enough in verbal and hand signal form that pretty soon, it’s nothing but hand signals.

“It’s no different than people with a given sport. If you practice long enough, you can get very proficient at catching. Practice makes perfect. At one point, I didn’t miss a day. I’d come home after work and throw discs. Now I’m kind of on the backside,” Hennigan says.

“I’ve had several vaulters. One guy could get up 12 feet off my back. I’ve been pretty fortunate and stayed pretty much injury free. My No. 3 dog actually had a complete hip replacement and still performed for 4 years. That was Mama Drew, and she has since passed,” Hennigan says.

Always sensitive to suggestions that he is exploiting his dogs, 40 Enjoy August 2011

Hennigan says he’d always issue a disclaimer: “Anybody who feels this isn’t right, that this dog shouldn’t be doing this, come and tell me.

Nobody ever did. To take her out of the game would have broken her heart.

“When you see an animal out there enjoying themselves, it’s a nolose. That’s their life. There’s not a treat involved in this. These guys do it because they want to do it. They show this exuberance and it can’t help but put a grin on people’s faces.”

“They’ve given us so much over the years,” Hennigan says.

“Without them, we wouldn’t have gotten out of California. We owe them a lot for our experiences. We’re going to make sure they live out the best retirement possible.” • Jon Lewis has been a writer for the past 31 years, working at newspapers in Woodland, Davis, Vacaville and Redding.

WITHHONOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA VETERANS MUSEUM

Story: Claudia Mosby

Community

“It’s really difficult to start an organization like this from zero,” says Founder/Director Rob Burroughs of the Northern California Veterans Museum & Heritage Center. “I was up against some naysayers who said it couldn’t be done.”

A veteran of the conflict in Iraq, Burroughs says founding the museum has brought healing to himself and others. Like many veterans, he returned from military service with a host of physical and psychological challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder, a back injury and ulcers. “Being involved in this project has helped immensely,” he says. “It’s made me face issues head on and it also gives the veteran’s family an opportunity to learn more when the vet may not tell the story.”

The museum, adjacent to the Redding airport, opened Veterans Day weekend 2010 to more than 2,000 visitors. It features an unusual layout because, Burroughs says, “I didn’t want to design a fourcorner building. The idea was to take you into a different place.

Mementos and artifacts from all branches of military service and all periods of conflict in which Americans have served are on display in the 6,000-square-foot facility, which also includes a theater and library with more than 5,000 holdings. The exhibits feature many original and one-of-a-kind items that come from donors or Burroughs’ own personal collection (“about 80 percent currently,” he says, “but it lessens as more people donate”).

Among the most interesting are an enlarged picture of the attack on Pearl Harbor taken by the Japanese as it was occurring; a World War I Studebaker ambulance that Burroughs’ grandfather purchased as ‘war surplus’ in the 1930s; and a World War I Doughboy helmet retrieved from the trenches in Belgium. Another intriguing exhibit is a rotating display of 2,000 hand-built pre-World War II through military jet age model airplanes. “Rather than have them sit in a case collecting dust,” Burroughs says of the models, “I built the rotating display so you could get the full three-dimensional effect of the planes as they approach, reach the line of sight and recede.” continued on page 46

In addition to directing the museum, Burroughs is the U.S. Navy Senior Chief charged with performing funeral honors at the memorial services of all sea-going veterans in Northern California (he estimates about 1,500 since 2007) and also serves as the president of the Northern California Honor Flight Program. This program takes World War II veterans back to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorial, is fully funded through donations and has allowed more than 150 veterans to make the trip. The waiting list numbers more than 1,200 in Northern California alone. “We would take them all tomorrow if we had the money,” he says.

The museum is also one of the original partners with The Library of Congress on the Veterans History Project, which seeks to preserve and archive the oral histories of veterans from all branches of service from World War II to the present.

All of this is accomplished by Burroughs and the museum’s director of history, Christine Sullivan, both unpaid for their efforts. Sullivan, who says she will dedicate the rest of her life to working with veterans, believes the museum is long overdue in Shasta County, which according to Burroughs is home to more veterans than any other county in the state.

The two are assisted by a corps of dedicated volunteers who help with everything from docent duties to clean-up, display construction and office assistance.

The City of Redding has shown its support by leasing the museum 17 acres adjacent to its current location for its planned expansion, which will include a 125,000-square-foot facility with expanded museum, an IMAX theater, an airplane hanger, restaurant and memorial chapel. A seven-acre Liberty Park is scheduled to break ground in 2012.

In the meantime, Burroughs and Sullivan work diligently to raise funds to keep the museum open. In the spring, they hosted the annual Boondocker Ball, a World War II USOinspired dinner and dance that drew 300 people. On Sept.

25 they’ll host a “Mash Bash” to coincide with the Redding Air Show. The event at the Air Shasta hanger will include a barbecue dinner and live auction.

Still, the organization needs ongoing support. “We’ve just cleared some of the major hurdles to apply for grant funding, but it’s very competitive” says Burroughs. “We’d like to get some corporate sponsorships so we can keep the doors open.”

He adds thoughtfully, “We’re committed to taking care of our veterans, to portraying accurately their history so we can educate future generations. If we weren’t here, all of this would be gone.” • Hours: Wednesday – Sunday 10 am – 5 pm 3711 Meadow View Drive, Redding • (530) 378-2280 www.norcalveteransmuseum.org

Artist

idyll hands

artist stefan baumann ’ s grand view Stefan Baumann is an artist, teacher, creator of a PBS television program, musician, philosopher and bon vivant. Nestled in the wilds of Weed, his Grandview Ranch is home to a rich tapestry of art and culture.

“It is my dream to create an idyllic artist retreat, where artists can participate in location painting workshops that nurture the artist in a place of unparalleled beauty and inspiration.”

“It is my dream to create an idyllic artist retreat, where artists can participate in location painting workshops that nurture the artist in a place of unparalleled beauty and inspiration,” he says. Baumann didn’t always have that dream, but he has always had dreams and plenty of drive. At 4 years old, he began to study classical piano. By age 12, he was playing at concert level. By 13, his plan was to become a professional bowler. Baumann’s mother - who he credits for instilling discipline in him - disapproved of bowling as a profession for her son and enrolled him in art classes. His painting group went to Hawaii where Baumann walked through his first art gallery. He was so moved

by a small painting that it changed his life. “I knew I wanted people to be moved and transformed by viewing my art,” he says. Baumann had found his calling, and at 13 years old he threw himself into his art. By 14, he had developed a technique that he was teaching to adult classes.

Baumann, 49, studied art at Stanford University and the San Francisco Academy of Art. His work has been featured in American Painter Magazine, People Magazine and on the cover of Southwest Art Magazine. His art is in the Reagan and the Annenberg Collection and he created and hosted the PBS television series, “The Grand View: America’s National Parks Through the Eyes of an Artist.” The program debuted at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival in France and it is still being shown on Create TV, an affiliate of PBS. “I created this TV show to inspire people to paint,” Baumann says. “My goal is for people to say, ‘That’s cool – I want to do that.’” Every segment interviews Native Americans, artists, geologists or rangers to get insights and perspectives into the national parks.  continued on page 52 August 2011 Enjoy 51

Closer to home, Baumann teaches art classes in Medford, Mount Shasta and Saratoga. He teaches Plein air (painting outside), Alla Prima (usually one sitting of three or four hours) and studio painting.

He also teaches a “Power to Create” lecture class. “The Power to Create is for anyone who wants to take their art to the next level. I have taught painters, musicians and writers. It’s about art as a language, about touching the human experience and transforming the viewer,” he says.

Baumann’s work does that. He refers to his works as “epic grand nature scenes – like the finger of God, almost beyond reality.”

“Landscapes are not literal, but creations of what one would experience on the way to a location,” he says. “They’re about more than recreating a place exactly.” This is why Baumann is not a big fan of photography as art. “Cameras capture a hundredth of a second and bring no experience to the image,” he says. “A moment doesn’t give the full effect. When I compose a picture I move things to create the ideal vista. Paintings are about light, shadow and atmosphere.”

When Baumann talks about Rembrandt, he says, “It’s not about the person, it’s about how the light comes through the painting. The way light comes into a painting and hits an object tells a story. The story is more interesting than the object itself. I decided early on that - through my art - I wanted to change the way people view nature, the way that Van Gogh changed the way we view sunflowers.”

Baumann’s Grand View Ranch in Weed sits at the base of Mt. www.thegrandview.org

52 Enjoy August 2011

Shasta. The mountain dominates the skyline and is the perfect backdrop to a life filled with art and philosophy. Baumann makes his Shangri-La available to artists for retreats and, like Monet, doesn’t need to go far from home to find the incredible natural beauty to inspire his paintings.

Walking with Baumann around his ranch, it’s obvious that his passion for art and life are not separate, but a part of everything he does. His understanding of art history is rich and deep. When he talks about Renaissance art, or the Impressionist period, his descriptions are as vibrant as the colors on his palate. It’s as though he stepped back in time and spoke with the great masters and they shared their secrets with him. He is as adept at using words to describe his passion for art as he is at using color to create light, shadow and atmosphere across a canvas.

The Grand View not only describes Baumann’s ranch and television program, but is an apt description of his life, nurturing and inspirational to those who dare to dream. • Bruce Greenberg has lived as far away as Australia and as high up as Colorado’s continental divide. He finds his home in Igo to be just about perfect. He is a full-time studio furniture maker and occasional writer.

fifteen minutes with redding rancheria’s maria orozco

NAME: Maria Orozco PERSONAL: Single mom of a beautiful daughter, Gabriella McCloud, 17.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN THE NORTH STATE? Born and raised here – I went to Happy Valley Primary and Elementary, and graduated from West Valley High School.

WHAT IS YOUR JOB/TITLE: Director of Public Relations for the Redding Rancheria (includes all entities of the tribe). I’ve worked there for 17 years.

HOW DID YOU END UP IN YOUR LINE OF WORK? Win-River Casino was my first employer. I started out in pull tabs in 1994. I have been here ever since and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY AT YOUR JOB LOOK LIKE? I love my job because there is no typical day at work. I could be volunteering for Relay for Life, attending a mixer, raising money for the Redding Rancheria Community Fund, chatting on the radio, being interviewed on television or golfing for a good cause.

WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU AT WORK? To this day, I can’t believe I have walked on fire. Yes, that would be the strangest and most courageous thing that has happened to me while team building.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? A lawyer. I knew I could talk, talk, talk.

WHICH SUPERHERO BEST REPRESENTS YOU? I love Superman! He has only one weakness and can do anything to help others.

WHAT WOULD YOUR THEME SONG BE? “I Had the Time of My Life.” It’s true... living each day as if it’s my last.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU COULDN’T DO WHAT YOU DO NOW? I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else, but if I had to I know it would be within this organization.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED? Live with no regrets!

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? I love magazines. I can’t read enough about trends and lifestyles.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? Titanic.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? I enjoy golfing, singing and love to dance!

WHO’S YOUR HERO? My parents (Jose & Yvonne Orozco) are my heroes! They are the most amazing, supportive & loving parents. So blessed to have them in my life.

WHAT’S YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT? My proudest moment has to be winning Judges’ Choice at Shasta County Dancing with the Stars in 2010. The most important people in my life were there cheering me on and supporting me – my family, members of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Council, Tracy Edwards (my boss and friend) and my friends.

WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT YOU? I hate balloons! My biggest fear? Balloons popping.

WHAT’S YOUR BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY? Disneyland! My parents have taken our family there every year since I was born. Greatest vacations ever!

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN SHASTA COUNTY? I love this community because its kind of like “Cheers” – everybody knows your name. Our community is small, but our generosity is not.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE? I would have to say weight loss. Now that I have lost the 60 pounds and am working daily to keep it off, it’s a challenge!

Weekend Getaway

Weekend Getaways napa valley

What though youth gave love and roses, age still leaves us friends and wine.

– Thomas Moore

Editor’s note: In February, we gave you some hints for enjoying a romantic weekend in San Francisco. In May, we shared tips for a girlfriends’ getaway to the Rogue Valley. In the third installment of this quarterly series, we rounded up some ideas for a couples’ vacation to the Napa Valley. continued on page 60

August 2011 Enjoy 59

What to pack: Picnic basket (it can even be empty – you’ll probably fill it up along the way)

Golf clubs Camera Sense of adventure Designated driver Maps or GPS system OUR ROUTE: Interstate 5 South, Interstate 505, Interstate 80 West, Highway 12 West, Highway 29 North to Napa.

Traveling with other couples can be the best of all worlds – it’s a romantic getaway combined with some quality “just girls” or “just guys” time. The Napa Valley’s wineries, golf courses, outdoor adventures and exquisite dining options make it an ideal destination for a group date. The Sonoma area also features numerous delightful places to stop if you have more time, but in the spirit of a weekend getaway, we narrowed our focus to the stretch of Highway 29 between Napa and Calistoga. So send the kids to grandma’s house, gather up some other fun-loving couples and hit the road.

60 Enjoy August 2011

First… the vineyards

Vineyards and wineries are the lifeblood of the Napa Valley, and they dot the landscape in every direction. The options for exploration are abundant – you’ll find do-it-yourself guide maps at the chamber of commerce and many local businesses if you prefer to drive yourself.

Napa Limousine is one of several companies that will chaffeur you to your desired locations (they’ll also give you ideas for the premier places to stop). Napa Valley Tours and Transportation provides luxury sedans, limousines, land yachts and motorcoaches for wine tours.

And of course, the renowned Napa Valley Wine Train offers a three-hour, 36-mile excursion from Napa to St. Helena and back.

Gourmet meals are prepared on board, and informal wine tasting seminars are held in the station lobby before lunchtime boarding.

A highlight of our trip was courtesy of Napa Valley Wine Tours – a bicycle tour through Yountville’s vineyards that featured stops at two unique wineries. Their super-friendly tour guides outfitted us with a water bottle, helmets and bicycles (don’t pass up the “gel seats” offer – trust us). They jot down your lunch order before you take off, and your lunch (catered by the highly recommended Yountville Deli) will magically appear at one of your stops. Choose a tour that fits your schedule – we did a half-day excursion that included stops at the fabulous Robert Sinskey Vineyards and Steltzner Vineyards. Bonus: If you buy wine, they’ll deliver it to the bike shop before you return.

And if you get tired (or stuck in a downpour), a van will come to your rescue. Wine tasting fees are not included. Kelham Vineyards in St. Helena also provides an impeccable wine tasting experience. The estate boasts a breathtaking view of acres of vineyards that stretch to the horizon. Linger in the outdoor pavilion in warm weather, or sit by the fireplace in the salon when it’s cool outside. continued on page 62

Fresh thinking…

At Tops Market, freshness counts in large amounts. We take pride in working with local farms, dairies and creameries to bring you the freshest and best our area has to offer every day.

When we say something is locally grown. It’s from this county, or one of our neighboring counties, period. You can’t get any more local than that. It’s that simple.

“Whole Foods Market says a food cannot be labeled as local unless it traveled to the store in seven or fewer hours by car or truck,” according to USA Today.

In the same article it says, “Safeway defines local as coming from the same state or a one-day drive from field to store.”

Under those definitions, produce from Washington to Mexico to Arizona can be considered “local”. At Tops Market, we consider that to be more “loco” than “local.”

See, we are the local guys, the locally-owned neighborhood market.

We understand the connections between local businesses and local shoppers. That’s why Tops makes such a big commitment to local farms, dairies, and products. Supporting our friends and neighbors in the area really helps support even more local friends and neighbors.

At Tops, we think that where you spend your grocery dollars really should make the most sense. We wanted you to know that at your local Tops Market, “local” means “local,” period. Now, that’s fresh thinking!

That’s Tops Market.

What is the definition of a good wine? It should start and end with a smile.

NAPA

With an early start, we made it from Redding to Napa in time for a late breakfast at Grace’s Table (corner of 2nd and Franklin). Spectacular coffee, fresh organic eggs and the best strawberries we’d had all year awaited us in this artsy, inviting space.

There’s art aplenty here. Jarvis Conservatory features art, films and opera (1711 Main St.), and the Napa Valley Opera House (1030 Main St.) hosts live entertainment, as does Uptown Theater, a historic Art Deco landmark..

Silo’s jazz club (530 Main St.) pairs fantastic wines with great music for a culturally rich evening out. A few doors down, Sweetie Pies is an adorable little bakery where you can pick up mini-cakes or mini-pies perfect for two. Oxbow Public Market is also a unique spot to refill your picnic basket.

When you’re ready to hit the links, Chardonnay Golf Club, Eagle Vines Golf and Silverado are among the many classy, gorgeous courses you’ll find in the valley.

Cool off with a stroll through di Rosa, which features 2,300 works of art by more than 900 Northern California artists. The collection is housed in two contemporary galleries, a 130-year-old home and a sculpture meadow. The grounds are surrounded by vineyards and dotted with olive trees.

If you’re into outdoor adventures, consider exploring the Napa Valley’s tranquility from the Napa River. Kayak NV offers tandem recreational kayaks for rent – guided excursions are available.

Prefer to wander by foot? Napa Walking Tour is a two-hour, 2½-hour stroll through Victorian mansions, the Riverwalk, a microbrewery and a humorous lecture by guide George Webber, a local historian, actor and beer/wine expert.

Napa also offers many places to rest your head, from bed and breakfasts to nationally known hotels. The eco-friendly DoubleTree Napa Valley (formerly Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa) is just a few miles east of Napa in American Canyon, and is an affordable, well-appointed facility.

Yountville

Of course, the French Laundry is the pinnacle of dining experiences in the Napa Valley – make reservations two months in advance and be prepared to pay top dollar, but this restaurant wasn’t named the best in the world for no reason.

One of our favorite foodies says it’s worth every penny. Ad Hoc is owned by the same person – their four-course meal is prix fixe (around $50). Bouchon Bakery, which supplies the French Laundry and Ad Hoc with baked goods, is a decadent stop for extraordinary baked creations.

The shopping hub of Yountville is V Marketplace, which features shops showcasing home and garden accessories, fine art, wines, gourmet food, upscale clothing, dining and more. continued on page 64

st. helena If you’re looking for some treats with which to fill your picnic basket, Napa Valley Olive Oil Manufacturing (835 Charter Oak) is a must. Inside is a treasure trove of mustards, crackers, cheeses, dressings, dips, salads, salami, truffle oil and more. Treat yourself to a delicacy from Woodhouse Chocolate, nestled into a 19th century building on Main Street. It’s a gem.

The Culinary Institute of America looks like a castle rising above the vineyards, and some of the world’s most promising up-and-coming chefs are studying there. Visitors can watch demonstrations, dine in its award-winning restaurant, learn from top wine experts and shop at this stunning campus. Olive oil, wine and chocolate tasting is available.

We ranked our dinner at Press (587 St. Helena Highway) as among the top five meals we’ve ever eaten. This fine dining establishment celebrates the Napa Valley’s famous red wines, and grills its dry-aged beef over almond and cherry wood. What chefs can’t harvest from their own two private gardens are purchased from local farmers and markets.

Wood-fired rotisserie chicken, locally raised lamb and pork and daily selections of fresh fish and seafood are also on the menu. The handcrafted walnut bar framed by two towers showing off the restaurant’s extensive Napa Valley-only wine collection is a sight to behold.

Other top-notch dining experiences can be found at Gillwoods (1313 Main St. – breakfast is to die for, according to Enjoy’s esteemed recipe correspondent) and Tra Vigne (1050 Charter Oak Ave.) If you’re after a magnificent gourmet burger, check out Taylor’s Refresher – one regular recommended the ahi burger with wasabi mayonnaise and ginger coleslaw, washed down with a coconut milkshake.

Quiet, romantic lodging that captures the beauty of the French countryside can be found at the Vineyard Country Inn.

CALISTOGA

Calistoga’s claim to fame is its assortment of spas. Rejuvenate your body with some time at the Lavender Spa (1015 Foothill Blvd.) or Indian Springs, which features cottages, mineral baths and lovely gardens. If the guys need a little testosterone rush while the ladies are enjoying a spa treatment, send them to Calistoga Speedway, known as the fastest dirt track in the western United States.

We likely could have spent an entire day in the two-block section of Lincoln Avenue. Restaurants, galleries, a bookstore, a bike shop and other micro-local shops were intriguing places to linger. The Calistoga Inn Restaurant and Brewery (1250 Lincoln Ave.) is a fun spot to grab a burger and beer.

ADVENTURES

Unique ways to explore the Napa Valley abound. The Napa Valley Biplane Company (based in Napa) lets you experience the exhilaration of open cockpit flying from the front seat of a Boeing Stearman biplane.

Napa Valley Adventure Tours (based in Napa) will help you set up hiking, biking, kayaking and mountain climbing tours, along with off-the-beaten-path van excursions and bike rentals.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the Napa Valley from the basket of a hot-air balloon. Napa Valley Balloons and Napa Valley Aloft will get you off the ground in style. (Many of Napa Valley’s other towns also have delightful balloon companies that will show you a good time.)

Safe travels! •

Music

Story: Phil Reser

G rady C hampion : A 2 1 st century M ississippi B luesman

Blues, like all music, has an ever-changing need to evolve.

But, at the same time, blues is that one genre of music where it is just as important to keep the roots as it is to change.

Grady Champion is part of a new generation of blues artists emerging from R&B and hip-hop backgrounds and rediscovering America’s musical blues roots.

He is last year’s winner of the 26th annual Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge.

While competing with more than 150 blues bands from around the world, he did something risky that is rarely done in the blues world’s biggest competition – he “walked the crowd.” He jumped off the stage doing a roaring harmonica solo and strolled among the people.

“It’s high-energy music,” he says. “I don’t stay on stage, man. I like to be among the people, let them know they can touch what’s going on.”

As a result of winning that IBC competition, he has been booked on high-profile festivals and events around the country, including the Chicago Blues Festival and the Ultimate Rhythm & Blues Cruise.

Champion’s from the rural small town of Canton, Miss., having 66 Enjoy August 2011

grown up as the youngest of 28 children. He now sings, plays harmonica and guitar, and writes powerfully about social issues ranging from racial profiling to youth violence.

Raised on a farm, hard work was a way of life for him.

As a child, he was always trying to perform to get attention.

“Momma used to call it ‘clownin’ around.’ But everything I do, I do from my soul. Like Muddy Waters said back in the day, you gotta go to church to get it.”

He joined his church choir as an 8-year-old and began singing gospel.

At 15, his mother moved the family to Miami, where he attended high school. After graduation, he tried boxing, being a radio DJ and several other occupations before he settled into a career as a performer.

He started as a regional rap artist in Miami in the early ‘90s as a rapper named MC Gold, soon changing his style when he discovered the blues. He incorporated blues samples into hip hop, turned to singing instead of rap and learned to play a mean harmonica to seal the deal. continued on page 33 “I was a rapper and I changed because rap started getting into July 2011 Enjoy 66

gangsta stuff, and since I wasn’t interested in relating to that, I decided I wanted to play for a more mature audience.”

Immersing himself in the music of the major blues artists of the past, most notably Sonny Boy Williamson (the Rice Miller one), whom he acknowledges as his greatest influence, you’d never guess he hasn’t spent his whole life playing this music.

“People always tell me that I’m an old spirit,” he says, “because I play traditional blues.”

In 1993, he started playing in little juke joints in the same environment that birthed the blues, and a year later, Champion won the McDonald’s Music Fest with his performance of Buddy Guy’s “Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues,” which brought the audience of 10,000 to its feet.

He recorded and released his own album, “Goin’ Back Home,” in 1998, drawing larger crowds to his performances in local blues clubs. He caught the attention of Shanachie Records, who signed him to a contract.

He released two very impressive recordings for the label. Both his debut, “Payin’ For My Sins” and “2 Days Short of a Week,” put him on the national touring blues map, and a live album, “Back In Mississippi” on Earwig Music Company, kept the fire blazing.

Champion performs and records old blues tunes, from Koko Taylor to Howlin’ Wolf to Slim Harpo to Otis Redding.

And like the blues songsters of the past, his original material looks at his world and offers emotional support to anyone sharing his concerns.

In “Children Of The Corn,” a song about kids and guns, Champion doesn’t merely blame media or boredom. Instead, he sings of the mental and physical abuses that can also produce these preadolescent gunmen.

Right now, he’s touring in support of his latest CD, “Dreamin’,” which features 10 new original songs, a collection that continues to reflect his fine signature form and sharp songwriting.

“I write songs for people from 8 to 80,” he says. “It doesn’t make any difference how old you are. If you enjoy good music, that’s what I’m going to give you.” •

Recreation

UP& AWAY S ky S ailors take to the skies at H at C reek rim Macy’s department store brought the first escalator to the North State. But for decades prior to that, hang gliding and paragliding pilots have known about a much more glorious lift – Hat Creek Rim. The rim, which rises 1,000 feet above scenic Hat Creek Valley off Highway 89 in eastern Shasta County, provides a perfect playground for sky sailors with its combination of consistent afternoon “ridge-lift” winds, rising thermals, safe accessible landing areas and jaw-dropping beauty.

“It’s like a warm elevator that you can just keep climbing up,” says Redding’s Chad Glissmeyer. “It’s one giant lift everywhere. It’s a magical place, not like anywhere else in world.”

When pilots depart from Hat Creek Rim, they can typically climb an additional 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the launch spot to ensure a long window of flying. Some have taken the thermals (rising hot air currents) as high as 4,000 feet above the launch site. continued on page 72 August 2011 Enjoy 71

The spot first attracted hang gliding pilots in the mid-1970s.

Years later, paragliders joined the party. Hang gliders use a V-shaped wing that typically has an aluminum frame. Paragliding wings are fairly elliptical and look more like parachutes (they don’t have metal frames).

Those who fly Hat Creek Rim must be rated pilots and members of the U.S. Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association. The most ideal flying conditions for the area exist in the late afternoon from June through September.

Glissmeyer, both a paragliding and hang gliding pilot, says the sport can be compared to surfing in three dimensions. Rising thermals are created when sun soaked volcanic rocks release heat in the latter part of the day.

“It’s like the excellent dream of flying that you have in your sleep,” he says. “It’s a magical sensation of leaving the restraints of earth behind. The energy of the wind and the thermals, there’s nothing like it. You can stay up as long as the wind will allow. It’s just complete freedom.”

In addition to the flying conditions, the views aren’t too shabby either. To the south is Lassen Peak and the expanse of Lassen Volcanic National Park. To the north is majestic Mt. Shasta, towering up to 14,179 feet. There’s also the lush Hat Creek Valley and nearby Burney Mountain, a much lesser used hang gliding area.

The views also include the surreal aftermath of recent fires. A number of blazes started by lightning, known as the Hat Creek Complex Fire, scorched the area in August 2009.

The rim also offers safe, wide easy landing zones for pilots with nearby amenities, such as Hat Creek Hereford Ranch RV Park and 72 Enjoy August 2011

Campground (hatcreekrv.com) and Fireside Village Store and Café.

“The thing that makes Hat Creek Rim complete is you have Hereford Ranch Campground and Fireside Village within minutes of the launch,” said Phil Sergent, a Redding resident for 40 years who now lives near Auburn. “That’s very appealing to visiting pilots. It’s an evening site, so you’ve got all day to go enjoy Northern California.

There’s Subway Cave, all kinds of fishing and camping opportunities.

There’s so much the area has to offer.”

Sergent, who first launched a hang glider off the rim in 1975, is part of the Shasta Sky Sailors – a group that formed in Redding in 1974 and flew off ridges and mountains all over Shasta County.

Many of those sites are rarely flown today, but Hat Creek Rim is certainly the exception. The club helped pioneer and develop the site, which has grown right along with the sports of hang gliding and paragliding.

The club’s webpage – www.hatcreek.info – contains loads of information about flying at Hat Creek Rim. Another good resource for the sport is the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association website – www.ushpa.aero.

“It’s seen all the evolutions of the sport,” Sergent says of Hat Creek Rim. “If that ridge could talk, it would have a lot to say. That place, of all the Northern California sites, has provided that consistency (for flying) right up to today. I’ve always loved what Hat Creek Rim offers.” • Jim Dyar is a freelance writer, musician and a former arts and entertainment editor at the Record Searchlight.

Friends of Peter Crawford Golf Tournament Peter Crawford is accustomed to organizing golf tournaments that benefit cancer patients.

Today, tragically, the tables are turned.

The Friends of Peter Crawford Benefit Golf Tournament is planned for Aug. 19 at Riverview Golf and Country Club in Redding. Crawford, 35, is battling Stage 4 cancer that pathologists from all over the country have been unable to identify. Proceeds from the tournament will help his family pay for the aggressive chemotherapy that he has been undergoing.

Peter and his wife of 15 years, Amanda, were born and raised in Spokane. They moved to Redding three years ago when he landed a job as administrator of a cancer center. Peter founded the Drive Out Cancer golf tournament just two months after arriving in town – an effort that focused on cancer prevention education and helping North State patients battling cancer.

After Peter was laid off last fall, his wife (a nurse) bumped up her hours to full-time. A few months ago, they learned that this vibrant, active man had cancerous masses in his neck and chest, with evidence that it had spread to the bone. Due to the severity of his illness, Amanda has had to take an unpaid leave of absence. The couple have two children: Ethan, 8, and Claire, 5.

Peter’s life has centered on giving back – to his family, his church and his community. He has been active in the North State Cancer League, Relay for Life, Soroptimist International and A Lung Affair, which raises funds and spreads awareness of lung cancer. He recently graduated from Leadership Redding, and has served on the board of directors for the Northern California Medical Group Managers Association and the Redding Chamber of Commerce.

Now, many of the people who have benefited from his influence plan to repay the favor.

Organizers of the golf tournament are now seeking sponsors, raffle donors and players for the event. Cost to play is $125 per player or $500 for a foursome. Entry includes green fees, golf carts, awards and dinner.

Most importantly, the tournament will help a family that is enduring a nightmare.

The Crawfords have kept friends and family updated on Peter’s condition through a blog, www. forpetessake.co. One series of photos shows his family taking turns shaving off what he describes as his “glorious curls.”

In each photo, he is smiling.

For more information to sponsor, donate or to sign up to play, please contact Kimberly Williamson at Owens Healthcare, (530) 351-2167 or kwilliamson@owenshealthcare.com Entry forms and more information available at www.forpetessake.co

What’s Cookin’

Farmers’ Market Savory Treat Try this ricotta cheesecake with the season’s zucchini and fresh herbs from your favorite farmers’ market. You can use both green and yellow squash for this savory cake. The simple batter is made primarily of ricotta cheese and flavored with a bit of garlic, shallots, lemon zest and a few other ingredients. Keep in mind this is a ricotta-based cheesecake not one based on cream cheese. The texture is going to be different and delicious in its own right.

When shredding zucchini, it is best to use a box grater, as most micro planes are too fine. Get creative and play around with the herbs. I used dill, as that is what was available at the farmers’ market.You could add chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh chives, chopped spinach or even corn. If time allows, you can drain the ricotta through cheesecloth to get even more moisture out of the cake.

A long with a few sides, this savory cheesecake would be a welcome addition to any picnic basket.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups zucchini, unpeeled & grated

1 tsp. fine grain sea salt 2 ½ cup ricotta cheese ½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

2 shallots, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped Zest of one lemon

2 large eggs, well beaten ¹⁄ ³ cup goat cheese, crumbled drizzle of olive oil

PREPARATION Preheat oven to 325F degrees.

Place rack in the middle of the oven. Butter or oil a 7-inch springform pan. In a strainer, toss the shredded zucchini with the salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can and set aside. In the meantime, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, shallots, garlic, dill and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Beat eggs together lightly and then stir into the mix and continue mixing until well combined. Next, stir in the shredded zucchini. Fill the springform pan with the ricotta mixture and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. If moisture is left

Zucchini and Ricotta Cheesecake Prep time: 30 mins Baking time: 1 ½ hr Serves: 8

on top of the cake, carefully dab it off with paper towel. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until the goat cheese is melted and the cake barely jiggles in the center (it will set up more as it cools). If the cake is baked and set, but the top is not quite golden, place under a high broiler (just about a minute or two – watch closely so as not to burn) to get a bit more color on top. Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes, then release the cake from its pan. Cool completely. Serve at room temperature drizzled with a bit of olive oil and a few sprigs of dill.

Oh, and The Natural. Any baseball movie is a great movie to me. Go Giants!

PATRICK: I have two favorite baseball movies! First, The Natural with Robert Redford is classic. Great story with some totally amazing cinematic moments, including the shot where the baseball shatters the stadium lights. My other favorite is Field of Dreams. Guys love it, my wife loves it, and even kids can watch it. It’s a movie you can watch over and over, and it’s also one of the few movies that’s OK for a guy to tear up a little bit watching. “YOU’RE GUESTS IN MY CORN...”

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

Last Year Over

350,000 People Died From The Same Cause...

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

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

The pain in her leg was gone and within a few weeks she wasn’t having the headaches.

And since Advil was a thing of the past, Mexican food was back. But even more amazing was her cat allergies that had bothered her since childhood seemed to vanish and she hadn’t used an inhaler for symptoms of asthma in years! She could now live her life without the limits of pain and sickness. I say this experienced changed my life because this wonderful friend became my wife and mother of my children. Seeing the difference those simple, specific adjustments made in her life has made me confident and passionate in my profession which is chiropractic.

Now as for my children, Kennedy, Madison, and Patrick, they were adjusted within the first hour of birth.

They obviously didn’t complain about neck pain or back pain, I adjusted them to keep them healthy...as with all the hundreds of children I care for in my office. You see, it’s not normal for kids to get ear infections, asthma, allergies or a number of other illnesses we see clear up in my office everyday. When the nervous system is working correctly, your internal resistance and healing powers are enhanced.

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

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

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

Store Front

name Joshua Tankersley

occupation 9 Springs Ranch BBQ

WHAT’S IN STORE J oshua Tankersley 9 S prings R anch B B Q Joshua Tankersley can attest to the old adage that necessity is the mother of invention. Purely by chance, Tankersley invented a barbecue sauce that won rave reviews from family and friends, and now he sells dozens of bottles of 9 Springs Ranch Dippin’ BBQ Sauce each day in his hometown of Bieber, where he lives with his wife Jamie and their two young children. He produces just one flavor of sauce – “the best flavor,” he says with a laugh – and over Memorial Day weekend, he braved the snow in Alturas and won the Quizno’s Barbecue Cookoff. You’ll find his winning recipe at Enjoy the Store.

How did you start making barbecue sauce, and how did it evolve into a business?

I was making ribs for my mom and dad, and I don’t like (storebought) barbecue sauce. I threw some things together and came up with this concoction, and they couldn’t believe that I’d made it.

I started bringing it to family barbecues about five years ago, and then we decided to start marketing it.

Tell us about your sauce and how you make it (we won’t ask for the secret recipe!).

It’s sweet but spicy and tangy. We make six gallons at a time; last night we made 30 gallons.

90 Enjoy August 2011

on the store front Coming next month in the “What’s in Store” section, local author Charlie Price

How do you use your sauce?

When I cook ribs with it, I apply it while I’m barbecuing.

When I cook tri-tip, we use it as a dipping sauce. A lot of people say it goes good on chicken. We won a chili cookoff by putting it in chili, and our neighbors make meat loaf out of it.

We hear you’ve been involved with some benefits, as well.

In June 2009, we did a benefit for a 3-year-old child with spinal muscular atrophy. He needed a stroller that he could fit in. We set out to barbecue 50 tri-tips and donate the money to him, and we made 20 bottles of barbecue sauce. It was the first time we’d ever made barbecue sauce for sale – we started cooking at 8 am, and by 10 am, all 20 bottles were gone. That was our first inspiration to do this.

We also recently made tri-tip sandwiches for Tournament for the Cure, a breast cancer awareness event in Anderson.

I just want this business to be big enough to support my family – I really want to be known as a good person.

Where do you sell your sauce?

My wife sets up a table in front of a store here in Bieber, and we usually sell 50 to 70 jars a day. We also sell it at nail shops in Fall River, at Adin Supply in Adin and at Enjoy the Store. •

S H A S TA W O M E N ’ S R E F U G E D I R E C TO R J E A N K I N G “I really didn’t set out to do this,” says Jean King, “but I’m kind of a workaholic.” The new Executive Director of the Shasta Women’s Refuge came to the agency initially as a consultant during its transition, but says she loved the staff, the board and the organization’s mission so much that she decided to apply for the position. Chosen from 50 candidates nationwide, she assumed her new role in April.

“I was listening to NPR one day,” says King, “and they were talking about retirees going back to work to find more meaning. As I watch babies come into our offices at one or two months old, I realize that anything I can do to help those kids, I want to do it.” With a new purpose and a successful career history as her foundation, she is well prepared to do just that.

The daughter of two school teachers, King was born and raised in Anderson, but left home in the 1960s to attend the University of California at Santa Barbara where she worked for the Alumni Association as a student. After she graduated, she began working as a secretary in the Alumni Office, earning nine promotions in 10 years to end up as associate director/director of the university’s Family Vacation Center. “I was fortunate,” she says. “It was in an era when diversity, training and women-in-management programs were popular and well funded.”

Later, when she was offered the position of Assistant Director of Finance for Senator Alan Cranston’s presidential campaign, King says it was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. “I was in charge of fundraising events across the United States and my minimum goal was $400,000 a month,” she says. “It was there that I really learned about fundraising and that the big donors gave to everyone, not just a favorite candidate.”

After additional stints working for the Office of the President at UC Berkeley and as assistant director for a commercial real estate company, she decided to start her own management company (employing 11 people) before returning to Shasta County in 2005 to 94 Enjoy August 2011

be closer to family, a goal she says she’d had for a number of years.

“I always intended to have a large family of my own,” says King, “but I discovered I wasn’t able to have children.” She pauses and adds wistfully, “One door closes and another opens.” She believes life circumstances have given her opportunities to do other things, one of which was to spend time with and care for her 89-year-old mother, who passed away in May. “My mom lived with me for three years,” says King, “and I’m so grateful for the time we had together.”

King and husband Edwin “Butch” King, an old friend from college, married 16 years ago. “We got married at a drive-through chapel on the way to Minneapolis for him to begin training with Northwest Airlines,” she says. Her husband, a retired California Air National Guard and Northwest Airlines pilot, has the distinction of being the only person who’s been to all three of her weddings. “Most importantly, the last one,” she adds with a laugh.

When the conversation turns to her vision for the Shasta Women’s Refuge, King becomes passionate. “We’re looking at how we use space to create a welcoming environment with adequate privacy,” she says.

“Fundraising, too, is always a challenge but it’s part of an ongoing challenge,” she adds – one she says she hopes to address in part by setting up an endowment, which the agency lacks. Modernizing and expanding the organization’s communications, especially its website, to allow clients greater flexibility and a more interactive experience are also goals well suited to her non-profit communication expertise.

Above all, King emphasizes, “We cannot function without our partnerships with the other agencies in town. Everyone has a piece to making what we do successful. People have been incredibly generous.

I’m so impressed with this community.” •

“I make the .50 caliber pens because they are so unique and the materials are being recycled into something that is usable rather than just creating waste. Many of them are bought as gifts because they are so different, and people seem to love the authenticity. Each of the pens is created from an actual, once-fired cartridge.”
