WE’RE SURE ENJOYING all those May flowers that those much-appreciated April showers brought our way – Mother Nature gets an A-plus from us. Let’s take some time to smell the roses! Our suggestion for a first stop? Head on over to McArthur for Mother’s Day weekend. The Heritage Balloon Festival will send you up in the sky in a brightlycolored hot-air balloon to celebrate the Inter-Mountain Fair’s centennial. If you’re hungry, the North State is resplendent with waterfalls, rivers, creeks and countryside that set the perfect tone for an al fresco meal with someone you love. We’ve got some tips to help you pack the perfect picnic basket for your outdoor dinner. Don’t forget dessert – treat yourself to a box of Lindauer Chocolates, where many of the ingredients come from the family orchards in Tehama County. We’ll tell you the story behind this shop’s sweet success.
Meanwhile, you don’t have to travel to Africa to hobnob with exotic animals – antelope, zebra and giraffe roam at the B Bryan Preserve in Point Arena. This refuge for endangered species is open for tours, and it’s well worth a stop on your coastal jaunt. Ready for a career change? Borrow some courage from some guys who moved from the big city to the town of Dunsmuir and reinvented themselves. Yes, you CAN be a fly fisherman when you grow up! It’s Redding’s turn for all things rodeo, and this 70-year-old tradition is put together by a committee that’s been enshrined in the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. If you need to get your rodeo spirit wrangled up before the main event, meet us at the pancake breakfast. Don’t forget to give the special moms in your life a little extra love this month.

Chellie Mitchell, General Manager & On-Air Radio Personality at Mix 101.1
HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: COMPASSIONATE… It was 1997 when I packed up and left Portland, Ore., to move to Shasta County. I was a new mom, concerned about raising my child in a big city full of crime and bad influences, so Redding seemed tremendously appealing. I was right! The schools here are fantastic, our local parks and recreation areas create so many fun things to do and this beautiful place provides so many outdoor opportunities for families to spend time together and make memories. For raising a family, I could not have found better. But what really makes Shasta County amazing is the sense of family. In 2014, when my son Tristan and his girlfriend Darian died in a tragic accident, this community rallied behind our families. Facebook “friends” I had never met in person showed up with casseroles and bags filled with personal items, local companies donated food and coffee, hotel accommodations were donated to help to facilitate family during the funeral – it was a massive and remarkable spectacle of love and compassion toward my family. And I’m not alone. Ask any other family in this community who have been recipients of that sort of compassion after they have experienced tragedy and they will tell you that this community takes care of its own. But then, hey…we’re Shasta County. It’s what we do. Change is inevitable. The world around us continues to move and change and we have to do the same in our own small town. But with the sense of community, the commitment from our leaders to make Redding and our surrounding areas safer while expanding our arts programs, outdoor recreational activities and educational opportunities, Redding continues to strive toward excellence. Now, that’s something to be proud of! Photo by Melinda Hunter

little
apple A C L O S E R L O O K AT T H E M A N Z A N I TA P L A N T MANZANITA IS a plucky plant, happy to grow where soils are meager and summers miserable. The North State is thick with it. The ubiquitous woody evergreen takes varied forms: sprawling, brushy or treelike with dramatic branching and smooth — sometimes curled — mahoganycolored bark. “There are 67 species of manzanita, 60 of which call California home,” says Michael Kauffmann, an author of “Field Guide to Manzanitas.” The Redding area’s signature species is whiteleaf manzanita with grayish-green leaves and often growing in thickets. Greenleaf manzanita with deep-green foliage takes root slightly higher in the foothills. Ground-hugging pinemat manzanita is common in mountain areas like Lassen Volcanic National Park. One unique species, Mallory’s manzanita, only grows in Shasta County. Leathery leaves containing oils help manzanitas retain moisture in scorching places. They have additional tricks, too. “To conserve water, many species keep their leaves at such an angle as to minimize direct sunlight,” Kauffmann says. Tiny hairs on leaves also offer sun protection for various manzanitas. Manzanita is adapted to wildfire and is one of the first plants to reclaim scorched ground. Fire triggers germination of whiteleaf seeds that lie dormant in the ground for years. Greenleaf resprouts from root burl. But fire recovery is only part of the plant’s fiery reputation. “When people see manzanita, they automatically assume it is designed to burn often and with high intensity. That’s a false assumption,” says Jennifer Gibson, chief of resource management and interpretation at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. The burn window is narrow, she says. Manzanita is at the highest fire risk when leaves lose critical moisture in the dry season, resulting in a higher ratio of oils. “When we get to July, August, September, October, that is a really dangerous time,” Gibson says.4 continued on page 22
MAY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Some plants have an association with manzanita, she says. Pedicularis densiflora (lousewort, warrior’s plume, Indian warrior) with flashy magenta spires taps into sugars from manzanita roots via a fungal bridge, she says. Beneficial underground fungi and microbes associated with manzanita roots boost soil health. Manzanita has had an impressive role in healing Shasta County hillsides denuded by copper smelting in the early 1900s. Poisonous smoke from smoldering ore wiped out oaks, pines, shrubs and grasses along what is now Keswick Reservoir. Khaled J. Bloom’s book, “Murder of a Landscape: The California Farmer-Smelter War 1897-1916,” says state investigators in 1914 described almost all native vegetation gone, except for a bit of poison oak and manzanita. Manzanita slowly spread to reclaim the barren, eroding hills.
Dead branches within a plant add to the fuel load. Cal Fire’s defensible space rules concerning native vegetation near homes are important to follow, Gibson says. “Cut back, prune and thin,” she says of manzanita. But there’s no need to scrape property clear. Manzanita is an important plant for soil health, wildlife and the beauty of natural areas, and they are quite diverse. Mallory’s manzanita looks like whiteleaf, but rubbing a leaf reveals the true identity. Mallory’s foliage is fuzzy. “The leaves feel like felt,” Gibson says. It’s easy to take manzanita for granted, but Gibson says artists from beyond California participating in Whiskeytown’s Artist in Residency program “are completely intrigued with painting the manzanita. They are not used to it. They love the bark. They love the flowers.” Indigenous people valued manzanita berries for food and cider, and used the plant medicinally, according to a Natural Resources Conservation Service plant guide. Manzanita blooms early — whiteleaf often in December. Clusters of tiny white or pink urn-shaped blooms draw bees and hummingbirds. “Manzanitas are important for every level of the food chain,” Kauffmann says. “Insects thrive on their leaves and stems, and these insects are food for numerous bird species, including chickadees and juncos. The fruits are eaten by species of every size, from mice to bears.” “The name ‘manzanita’ means ‘little apple’ (in Spanish), and the fruits do look like little apples,” says Susan Libonati, vice president of Shasta chapter of California Native Plant Society and a retired college botany instructor.
22
www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2018
While manzanita bounces back from challenges in the wild, it can be challenging to grow in home landscapes, Libonati says. It’s a wonderful plant to feature, just be sure to seek out cultivars developed for home gardens, she advises. “The ones sold in nurseries are adapted to garden conditions,” Libonati says. •

DRAKESBAD GUEST RANCH HIGH IN THE EASTERN mountains of far Northern California, a hidden treasure awaits present-day explorers who want to relax and rediscover a simpler way of life for a short while. It’s not easy to get there, but the long journey on a dusty, bumpy back road ends in a pictureperfect setting with rustic cabins nestled in a lush high mountain valley. Drakesbad Guest Ranch has been a vacation destination for many return guests whose families have grown up looking forward to their trek into the back country of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Drakesbad traces its roots to Edward Drake, an explorer and pioneer of the late 19th century who had acquired 400 acres and settled in what was known as Hot Springs Valley. in 1900, Drake sold to new owners, Roy and Ida Sifford and their family, who had visited the area to enjoy the healing properties of the natural soda waters of “Drake’s Spring.” The Siffords renamed Hot Springs Valley Drakesbad (meaning Drake’s bath) after its founder. They developed it into a guest ranch with rustic accommodations. Hot springs, horseback riding, friendly camaraderie and solitude have attracted people for over a century.

In 1958, the Sifford family sold the privately held property to the National Park Service. It is now run as a concession within Lassen Volcanic National Park. For more than 40 years, California Guest Services has employed seasonal workers from around the world. They help maintain the property and serve guests with the attention to customer service and protection of the environment that was the passion of the original owners. Through the years, facilities have been rebuilt, upgraded and expanded. They renovated the bathhouse near the thermal spring pool last year. In recent years, more accommodations have been added with their own bathrooms. But most guests don't mind the walk to the bath house, a plunge in the soothing hot springs pool that is cooled some for daytime use and warmed for a luxuriating nighttime spa. With zero air pollution at that elevation, the night sky lends a certain romance to the whole experience, according to Michael Han, regional vice president of California Park Service. They now offer fine dining at dinner and a variety of choices for breakfast and lunch served buffet style.4 continued on page 28
MAY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Han oversees the Drakesbad concession, visiting the ranch often. “Drakesbad resonates with folks who want to disconnect,” Han says. “There is no wifi or TV, no power in most of the rooms. They spend time in nature without mainstream connections. They relax, pick up a sense of themselves, something that is important to those who recreate in national parks.” Ed and Billie Fierbiger joined the staff as camp hosts in 1990, coming from a strong background in hospitality services and management. They served together in their seasonal positions for 21 years until retiring in 2011. Billie managed staff and reservations, overseeing the kitchen and menu planning. Ed wrangled horses and managed the ranch and upkeep on the DRAKESBAD RESONATES facilities. His favorite role, however, was helping serve WITH FOLKS WHO guests during meals, getting WANT TO DISCONNECT to know them and looking forward to their return in years to come. They made friends with the guests, many of whom, according to Han, returned because of the Fierbigers’ welcoming hospitality. Drakesbad is a designated Pacific Crest Trail “Trail Angel,” a stopover for hikers to rest, relax and replenish supplies. Fierbiger has been inspired by their dedication to make the long trek and has met some remarkable people. Fierbiger reflects on the value of the close friendships formed between the guests and staff throughout the years, among them current ranch hosts, Nick and Zuzana Smith.

Nick stopped over while packing with mules along the Pacific Crest Trail. He stayed for a couple of weeks, sleeping in the hay and helping around the ranch while one of his mules recovered from an injury. Smith loved the place enough to join the staff, where his love story began with Zuzana, who came from Slovakia to work for two summers. In time, they married and signed on in 2016 as ranch hosts. “After all these years we can truly say that Drakesbad guests and employees become our family and every year we look forward to reunite with all of them and meet the new ones as well.” This year’s season runs from June 8 to October 8. Reservations for this idyllic mountain retreat fill quickly, but early and late season reservations may still be available. Horseback riding and meals can be scheduled for day visits as well on the website.

L I N D A U E R C H O C O L AT E S AND CONFECTIONS
IT WAS A DIY Christmas gift to remember. And one to build a business on. Susan Lindauer of Portland, Ore., has enjoyed creating unique gifts for friends and family using the bounty from her Tehama County family’s orchards. In 2015, she and her cousin Allison slipped into the legacy of their grandmother, Sydney Lindauer, to create chocolate-covered prunes. “It was all very amateurish but we did the best we could with what she had,” she says of the 20 boxes that were distributed that year. What she referred to as amateurish, however, was more highly regarded among recipients. “I kept getting repeat requests for them,” she says. “Everyone loved them.”
“That was really the spark for me,” she says of her decision to launch Lindauer Chocolates and Confections last year. “I’ve always been very passionate about our prunes. I want people to know how amazing prunes and walnuts can taste with chocolate.” That passion for prunes is the legacy of Sydney, who helped found the International Prune Association to advance the industry. “People would come from France, Chile, etc. to visit our orchards,” Susan says of her family’s property, the Lindauer River Ranch in Red Bluff. “I got to hear about how much they revered the prune and how the prune was revered in confections. There’s a piece of me that remembers all of that and wants to bring it back.” 4 continued on page 32

Being Portland-based but grounded in the family business in Tehama County has opened doors of opportunity to create the confections of her dreams. A dear friend of Lindauer’s is Diane Morgan, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author. “When I first started thinking about this, she was the first person who came to mind,” she says. Morgan introduced Lindauer to Madeline Tomseth, a classically-trained French pastry chef. Together, the two translate the bounty of the North State into chocolates and confections that highlight the unique flavor profiles. First up was a plum ganache. “It’s very decadent, very rich,” says Lindauer of the creation developed from prune puree and plum brandy. Then there’s the classic sea salt and walnut caramel the two came up with. Nougats were then brought into the mix, “harkening back to that French tradition.” There’s a plum and walnut nougat which showcases Lindauer River Ranch products and a pistachio nougat highlighting the pistachios from cousin Bruce Lindauer’s farm, also in Tehama County. Honey for the confections is sourced from Wooten’s Queens and Bees in Palo Cedro, which keeps hives at the Lindauer River Ranch. “We try to use local purveyors for pretty much all of our ingredients,” says Lindauer. The most recent offering is a whiskey walnut truffle using Portland distillery Bull Run whiskey. “It’s really in tribute to my grandmother, who pretty much every day had a shot of whiskey,” Lindauer says with a laugh. “I think about her every single day.” The elder Lindauer wrote a beloved newspaper column in Red Bluff called The Farmer’s Wife for many years, though it had to move from farmer’s wife to farmer when her husband died young, just three days after Susan was born. Lindauer Chocolates and Confections are handcrafted in small batches and sold primarily direct

to consumer via a website. They have a small retail presence in Portland at Made Here PDX, and in the North State at Enjoy the Store locations in Red Bluff and Redding. “I also like to do charitable events,” says Lindauer. “My background is in social work, so I have a real passion for vulnerable families and children.” Lindauer gave out her prune-enhanced chocolates again last year for Christmas, but this time, the efforts were upgraded to professional. She debuted her new business at a party attended by her father, Tomseth, Morgan and many others. “It’s always been this lovely group of people surrounding this venture,” says Lindauer. “Lindauer Confections is the latest development, but we have a great foundation and legacy.” It’s with loving eyes and heart that Susan Lindauer reflects on her experiences at the Lindauer River Ranch, where she says, “We all started some job on the farm as early as 10.” While her branch of the family moved to Oregon when she was a child, she remains deeply connected. “My roots on that land run very deep,” she adds. “I’ve been going back there every single year of my life. My whole experience of growing up there is very rich.” That, combined with the people in her life, are bringing joy and success to her venture with Lindauer Chocolates and Confections. “If you’re really keeping your eye on the prize, the right people come into your life with guidance and insight and support.” • Lindauer Chocolates and Confections www.lindauerconfections.com

U. S . A I R M A I L C E L E B R AT E S I T S C E N T E N N I A L IT’S A SAFE BET that most people who take to the friendly skies aboard a commercial jetliner never take a moment to thank the agency that made modern airline travel possible—the U.S. Postal Service. Addison Pemberton is an exception. The engineer and vintage aircraft enthusiast from Spokane, Wash., has a deep appreciation for the Postal Service, and in particular that agency’s perseverance in establishing airmail service. “I’ve been a student of airmail pioneers most of my life,” Pemberton says. “Their story is just unbelievable. People really don’t understand the contributions the Postal Service made to airlines.” Powered airplanes were in their relative infancy when the first government-operated airmail flight launched on the morning of May 15, 1918, from Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. Army Air Service Lt. George Boyle, fresh out of flight training, was trusted with 140 pounds of mail and a Curtiss JN-4H “Jenny” biplane and ordered to fly to Philadelphia. A second pilot would complete the route to New York City. To mark the 100th anniversary of that flight and to celebrate the contributions airmail pilots made to commercial aviation, Pemberton and two other pilots this month will retrace the first West Coast airmail route in vintage biplanes. The San Diego-toSeattle route (formally known as Contract Air Mail 8) will include a stop at Benton Airpark in Redding on Wednesday, May 16.
The 1,200-mile flight is supported by the non-profit Western Antique Airplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM), of Hood River, Ore., and endorsed by the U.S. Postal Service. “Our intent is to fly CAM 8 and tell the story,” Pemberton says. “We’re going to carry airmail to the Post Office. Letters will be postmarked at every stop and then delivered in Everett (Washington state) in a ceremony. Airmail fans will have letters with postmarks from all 12 stops.” Pemberton and pilots Jeff Hamilton, also of Spokane, and Ben Scott of Reno, Nev., will fly the CAM 8 route in their lovingly restored Stearman Speedmail biplanes. Built in 1929 and designed to be airmail carriers, the planes alone will be worth a visit to Benton Airpark. Powered by 450-horsepower engines, the biplanes can cruise at 120 mph and reach an altitude of 20,000 feet. Stearman Aircraft manufactured a total of 41 Speedmails; nine still exist and only six are flying, “and three of them are flying on this trip,” Pemberton says. “They’re wonderful—one of the best flying biplanes ever built. They’re kind of the Shelby Cobra of the antique aircraft world.” Prior to the centennial flight, Pemberton, Hamilton and Scott will be sworn in as official airmail pilots and presented with vintage handbooks that instruct airmail pilots on the importance of acting and dressing like gentlemen during the performance of their duties.4 continued on page 38

Pemberton says the early airmail pilots quickly familiarized themselves with their routes. “They were like the Pony Express. The pilots knew every anthill, outhouse and barn. In bad weather, knowledge of the topography was his lifeline.” Airmail pilots got an assist, starting in 1924, with the development of ground-based navigation beacons that stretched from New York to San Francisco. Stationed between three and five miles apart atop 50-foot towers, the rotating lights could be seen for 10 miles in clear weather. The towers were anchored to concrete foundations in the shape of giant arrows. To aid in visibility, the arrows were painted bright yellow. Pemberton, a veteran pilot, remains in awe of those pioneering pilots. “Imagine flying from Redding to Portland, at night, in December. It just makes my skin crawl,” he says. The stretch through the Cascade Range, from Shasta Lake to Roseburg, Ore., known as “the squeeze,” proved to be particularly treacherous. “Hundreds of airplanes were scraped off of those hills in the ‘30s and ‘40s,” Pemberton says. “It was pretty scary, but those airmail pilots were slugging it out day and night. And all that infrastructure has morphed into what we have today.” • The airmail planes are expected to arrive at Benton Airpark at mid- to late-morning on Wednesday, May 16. • www.cam8in2018.com Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 37 years of experience.

Pemberton says they will gladly wear ties during the flight, but for safety’s sake they’ll replace actual handguns with plastic water pistols. More importantly, Pemberton hopes the airmail reenactment educates aviation fans about the heroic work put in by the early airmail pilots and how their efforts inspired the innovations that led to the safety and efficiencies enjoyed by today’s air travelers. At the outset, it wasn’t always smooth flying. Pilots had to contend with rudimentary instruments, including a magnetic compass with a jittery needle that was influenced by any nearby metal, and lessthan-thorough maps. In fact, young Lt. Boyle quickly got lost during that first flight, ran out of fuel, landed in a field and his plane flipped over. The work was extremely dangerous, as well: 12 of the original 40 airmail pilots died in crashes in the first two years. Airmail service had reached Chicago by 1919 and stretched to San Francisco the following year, with flights during daylight hours only. On a wintry morning in February 1921, a pair of volunteer pilots left from New York and San Francisco and completed a harrowing day-and-night relay that took 33 hours of flight time. By 1925, Pemberton says airmail pilots were providing two-day delivery between New York and San Francisco with 90 percent certainty. As airmail service progressed, so did the fledgling airlines. By the end of the 1920s, William Boeing and his Boeing Air Transport (which went on to become United Airlines) had the government contracts for the most lucrative of the airmail routes. Anti-trust legislation in the 1930s broke up Boeing’s nearmonopoly and airmail service was briefly returned to the Army Air Corps with disastrous results. Some 13 of the teenaged Air Corps pilots were killed in crashes in the first few weeks of service before airmail flights were returned to the more experienced contract pilots. Demands by the Post Office Department (the precursor to the U.S. Postal Service) that the mail fly on schedule, regardless of the weather, forced improvements in aircraft and airline operations.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY TIM HOLT
LIFE
C hanges DUNSMUIR ' S REINVENTED RESIDENTS THE GUY who sells fishing rods in Dunsmuir used to sell stocks and bonds in San Francisco. Down the street, the guy who’s selling nuts and bolts and kitchenware in the hardware store is a former Crocker Bank executive. And then there's the high-tech video production guy who used to play the trombone on a cruise ship. People often reinvent themselves, take on new careers, when they move up north from the big city. It’s a chance to learn new skills, maybe even take on a new persona. Bob Grace, the fly rod guy and former bond salesman, had no retail experience when he bought the Ted Fay Fly Shop 20 years ago. But he learned on the job, with advice from the shop’s former owner, Joe Kimsey, and “hasn’t missed a meal since.” “I had misgivings when I moved up here. I worried about how it would all work out,” Grace says. “In hindsight, I don’t see how I could have done anything else.” For former bank exec and current hardware store owner Ron McCloud, the move from the Bay Area was a chance
for him and his wife Pat to get back to their roots. They had grown up in rural areas in western Nebraska and wanted to get back to that kind of life. They had two small children and, as Ron puts it, “wanted to get them out of the city and into a more wholesome small-town environment.” In 1974, they moved to Dunsmuir, where there was a hardware store for sale. Ron had worked part-time in retail businesses in his college days, and with Pat working alongside him in the early years, they made a go of it. “After we moved here from the Bay Area we never looked back,” Ron says. “Things worked out well here.” Bryce Craig, who grew up in Redding, spent nearly four years playing trombone with a band on cruise ships that sailed up and down the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, visiting ports in Nova Scotia, New York, San Diego and Seattle. To cap off that dream job, he married the band's vocalist, Ling Gepte. They’re now4 continued on page 42

settled in Dunsmuir with their 5-year-old daughter, Maya Grace. Craig still plays trombone occasionally with his band, Secret Society Handshake, but his day job is running a tech company that specializes in video productions and web design. Dunsmuir has had two mayors in recent years who’ve taken on new roles since they moved to the town. Peter Arth is a former attorney with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission who reinvented himself as a one-man redevelopment agency in Dunsmuir. He bought up a number of neglected properties in the downtown and revamped them for housing, retail and high-tech businesses. Dave “Big Dave” Keisler is a self-described “biker dude” from San Diego who spent nearly five years in prison. Since then he has, to say the least, rebranded himself, winning the post of Dunsmuir’s mayor for two terms and currently serving on the City Council. He's a tireless supporter of all sorts of improvement efforts in the town and is on the board of directors of the League of California Cities. It took Dave Edmondson awhile to reinvent himself after he moved to Dunsmuir from Los Angeles more than a decade ago. After stints

as a real estate appraiser and manufacturer’s sales rep, he started his own business in a small kitchen on Dunsmuir’s main street, making his "Salt and Savour" sauerkraut and selling it to stores and at farmers’ markets. After nearly five years of working 60-hour weeks, he’s finally been able to hire some part-time help. Despite the hard work and long hours, he’s glad he made the move. “I never felt I was living up to my full potential when I was working for someone else,” he says. “I’d heard older people express regrets that they never folloxwed through on ideas they had when they were younger. I was 48 when I started the sauerkraut business, and I figured that if I didn’t take the plunge then, I’d regret it for the rest of my life. “You know what they say about an entrepreneur: He's someone who works 60-hour weeks in order to avoid working 40-hour weeks for someone else.” • Tim Holt is the editor of the quarterly Northwest Review and the author of “On Higher Ground,” a futuristic novel set in the Mount Shasta region. He lives in Dunsmuir, and is an avid hiker and cyclist.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after high school. I took a few classes but nothing seemed to stick. After doing various odd jobs, I landed a position at a metal fabrication facility. It was a good job, but with few benefits and high risk of serious injury. I decided I needed something better for myself and my family. I enrolled in the Shasta College Water/Wastewater treatment program and was thoroughly surprised with how much I loved it! After three semesters in the program, I was able to get a job at the City of Crescent City as a Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator-in-Training. It’s perfect for me. I also get to work on the drinking water system since I have my Water Treatment Certificate, which I earned thanks to my classes at Shasta College. My teacher, Tom Warnock, went above and beyond for me and for all of his students. He sends us job openings, talks to potential employers, and gives you the inside scoop of the plant that you are applying for. If it wasn’t for his charisma and passion for the industry, I wouldn’t have the job I love today. Going to Shasta College was the best decision I could have ever made for my future. Thank you to my instructors Tom Warnock and (the now retired) Eric Marshall!

B B R YA N P R E S E R V E JUST 10 MINUTES inland from the Point Arena Lighthouse, an area of Northern California coast known for its rolling fog and scenic cliffs, exists a little slice of Africa. Since 2004, the 110-acre B Bryan Preserve has been home to a variety of species of antelope, zebra and giraffe, but don’t think it’s some rugged zoo or safari substitute. The B Bryan Preserve is a refuge for endangered species. “We’re in conservation work,” says Judy Mello, who owns and operates the B Bryan Preserve with her husband Frank, where they not only conserve but also breed select endangered species. They’re certified by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Animals at the B Bryan Preserve include Rothschild Giraffe, of which there are estimated only 700 remaining; sable, roan and greater kudu antelope; and plains, Grevy’s and Hartmann’s mountain zebra, though their single plains (or common) zebra is just a solo act. “They’re not endangered, so we don’t breed them. We just have him for show. He’s a showman ‘cause his name is Elvis. There’s about 600,000 of those guys,” says Mello. By comparison, there are only about 10,000 remaining Hartmann’s mountain zebras, and fewer than 2,500 Grevy’s zebra. “We’re one of the few places in the U.S. where you can see all three species of zebra,” adds Mello. “Most people don’t know there are three species of zebra, but once you see them all side by side, it’s so drastic how different they are.” The preserve is also home to the oldest kudu on record, and Mable the Sable, the animal responsible for launching the Mellos’ conservation career. While living in Mississippi, the couple began taking care of exotic animals “just as something fun to do,” says Mello. “Then my husband went to Texas where you can still buy some African animals and called and said he was coming home with a sable antelope. Most people get a t-shirt. I got an antelope,” laughs Mello. They began raising sable antelope on her grandfather’s land in Mississippi, later adding roan and kudu, when in 2004, Mello’s day job relocated her to the Point Arena area.4 continued on page 46

“We loaded up like the Beverly Hillbillies with 11 antelope and today we have our 90 animals.” Soon after settling in Point Arena, Mello’s husband went to pick up a male sable antelope, “and he came back with a couple zebra,” she laughs. “So now he isn’t allowed to travel.” Though the Mellos focus on conservation, they also encourage education, and offer tours to the public, which is their main source of revenue. “That’s our bread and butter,” explains Mello, adding that they offer tours year-round, seven days a week. “My mantra is to educate you first then entertain secondly,” she continues. The tour begins with a presentation about the animals, and then proceeds in open air Land Rovers to the animals’ enclosures. “It’s a bumpy, authentic ride, and the animals know when its tour time because it’s also feeding time. We give them treats and they pose for pictures,” says Mello. “We always end the tour at the giraffe house, and we give guests pieces of sliced-up yam or romaine lettuce, and they can hand feed the giraffe. Most people in the tour put it in their mouth and end up getting a sloppy kiss.” The tour lasts an hour and 15 minutes, and costs $35 for adults and $20 for any child under age 10. The only requirement is that guests can get in and out of a 4x4 vehicle. For guests traveling to the preserve or wanting to explore the Point Arena coast, the Mellos also offer cottages for rent, though it’s not a B&B. “Just one B and not the other,” laughs Mello. “It’s easier to feed animals than humans. But we have some eco-friendly cottages made out of reclaimed redwood and old stained glass windows, and guests can rent those for their home base while they discover the coast.” 46
www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2018
The cottages include hot tubs and a kitchen, extend a discount for the tour, and can be booked on their website. Though Mello’s husband has been banned from traveling, the preserve still intends to expand. By spring or early summer, the preserve will welcome from the Denver Zoo an African buffalo named Drizzle. “We’ve also been approached to possibly do a breeding program with an eastern black rhino,” says Mello, though she doesn’t expect that to happen soon. Just last March, the last living male northern white rhino died, effectively sentencing the species to extinction. The death of the rhino gained national attention, and yet scientists estimate dozens of plant, insect and animal species go extinct every day, though the natural rate, were it not for human factors like poaching and construction, would be but a fraction of that number. Efforts of preserves like B Bryan Preserve are essential to the conservation of species that play a role in the ecosystem. Species play specific roles in our ecosystem, and the loss of any one can have a domino effect on other animals and plants, and even humans – which is why the Mellos continue to care for and breed these animals, while inviting guests to experience them first hand. • B Bryan Preserve • 130 Riverside Drive • Point Arena (707) 882-2297 • www.bbryanpreserve.com

R E D D I N G R O D E O K E E P S I T I N N O VAT I V E WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM opens the Redding Rodeo on May 16, the committee that organizes each event will be staring down 70 years of rodeo tradition in the Redding community. “They have continually grown and it’s a much better rodeo now moneywise than it was in my day,” says 1981 world champion steer wrestler Byron Walker. “They’re reaching out to find new, innovative ideas.” The Texas cowboy recalls competing in Redding in the late 1970s and he went to the National Finals Rodeo for the first of 16 times at the tender age of 19, the first teenager to do so. In 2014, he was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo. Recognizing the work of rodeo committees has been a goal of Walker’s as a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. “They’ve really been overlooked for years,” he says. The Pro Rodeo
Hall of Fame began inducting rodeo committees, the hardworking men and women who coordinate every last detail of a PRCA event, often without pay, in 2008. In 2016, the Redding Rodeo took its place of honor in a special ceremony held in Colorado Springs, joining such iconic rodeos as the Pendleton Round Up, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days and Red Bluff Round Up. “Until you get there and see all who have gotten there before you – it’s a humbling experience,” says Bennett Gooch, Jr., Redding Rodeo Committee Chairman. “We’re just little guys from Redding, Calif., putting on the best show that we can, so to be honored like that was pretty special. You’re treated like royalty for a couple of days.”4 continued on page 50 MAY 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Walker gives Gooch a lot of credit for bringing the Redding Rodeo to its current stature. “It took an individual with a vision to get out there and hustle and sell tickets,” says Walker. “I was so happy for Redding Rodeo and Bennett,” he adds, noting that he was thrilled the team was there to accept the recognition. “Unfortunately, a lot of times the awards go to guys that are dead.” Both Walker and Gooch speak highly of the Redding Rodeo’s fiveyear run as a venue for the PRCA’s Champions Challenge as an element moving the rodeo into elite status. “They’re the first ones that jumped off and took the bait and got the Champions Challenge started,” says Walker. “It took a lot of guts to have that challenge on a Saturday night, their biggest night.” “Just about every competitor in the arena was a current or past world champion,” Gooch says of the Champions Challenge. The event was televised and marketed based on the known equation of who was coming to town to compete. In regular rodeos, a committee may not know who will be competing until the trucks and trailers carrying contestants pull into the parking lot. “The fans loved it. The contestants loved it, and the sponsors,” says Gooch. “Everyone wanted to be part of it.” While the PRCA, as Gooch says, “has gone in a different direction” from the Champions Challenge, the Redding Rodeo Committee is still working hard to bring in audiences and take care of its contestants. Since accumulated prize winnings determine a contestant’s ability to advance to the National Finals Rodeo in December, a large monetary reward for each event becomes the draw for contestants to select from around 600 rodeos across the country each season. “Once you’re over $10,000 per event, people start to take notice,” says Gooch. “We’re $11,000 added per event. Essentially, it’s about a quarter-million-dollar purse. Money definitely is key to keeping top contestants showing up every year.” While the committee is concerned about attracting recognizable names to the competitions, they are also cognizant of creating space for those new to the sport. “We also let permit holders in, the young guys that are just starting out,” says Gooch. “A rookie in 2013 came in and won the thing.” For fans, there’s something special about the Redding Rodeo Grounds. It’s one of the few not built around a race track and has a capacity of 6,000 seats. While it’s noticeably smaller than most rodeo arenas, that creates an advantage for spectators. “You’re right on top of the action,” says Gooch. “Every seat in the house is close enough that you can see all the details.” With this year’s addition of an Xtreme Bulls event, that’s a unique opportunity to see a cowboy’s wince on a powerful buck and the twist and turn of muscles as the animals do what they’re meant to do. “They’re not slowing down,” says Byron Walker of the Redding Rodeo committee. “They’re reaching out to find new, innovative ideas. You’ve got to keep it fresh and they’re good at it. They’re real good at it.” •

EVERY MINUTE
COUNTS
“THERE ARE TONS OF GREAT SUCCESS STORIES AND EXCITING CASES THAT END UP WITH TERRIFIC OUTCOMES.” DR. EREK HELSETH
WHEN IT COMES TO CARING FOR A STROKE PATIENT, every minute counts. A delay in care of just a few hours could mean the difference between a full recovery and a life of disability. Traveling long distances for emergency stroke care is like rolling loaded dice – and your quality of life is on the line. Having Dr. Erek Helseth in your corner, however, is like holding four aces. The Chico-raised neurointerventional neurologist at Dignity Health North State is one of the masterminds behind the new and quickly growing Stroke Center at Mercy Medical Center in Redding. Dr. Helseth grew up in Chico, graduated from Chico State University and then attended medical school at Loma Linda University. His father was a physical therapist, which piqued his interest in patient care, and volunteer work as a teen in a local hospital drew him to trauma care. He spent 13 years practicing medicine in the Army, achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel and serving in Korea and Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, in early 2016, all the pieces were in place to launch Dignity Health’s Stroke Center – they just needed a neuroendovascular specialist. Dr. Helseth just happened to be one of those, and he was itching to get back to the North State. He joined forces with Dignity Health, spent about four months working on protocols and training the team, and in October 2016, they welcomed their first patients. “There’s been a once-in-a-lifetime revolution in the way we treat strokes,” he says. “People were getting to San Francisco and Sacramento too late.” Stroke affects more than a million people per year in the United States, and it’s a high-impact disease. For every 30 minutes a patient is delayed in getting to medical care, there’s a significant drop in the likelihood they’ll be functionally independent, Dr. Helseth says. Some models show a decrease of 2 million brain cells per minute following a stroke, so knowing stroke symptoms and seeking immediate treatment is critical.
“ There’s new technology, new techniques – there’s so much more to learn, so much more to do.” “In some cases, people have complete reversal of their stroke and complete recovery,” Dr. Helseth says. “Sometimes it’s immediate and they walk out of the hospital. Some convert to a smaller stroke, and they can recover and return to functional independence.” Dr. Helseth’s goal is for his Dignity Health team to intervene in a big way. After Dr. Helseth has completed stroke intervention, each patient continues to need intensive monitoring and management. That happens in the Neurocritical Care ICU with collaboration between Dr. Helseth and the Critical Care specialists of Redding
Critical Care Medical Group. Within Redding Critical Care Medical Group there are two physicians - Amjad Musthafa, MD and Richard King, MD - with subspecialty certification in Neurocritical Care. Neurocritical Care is devoted to the comprehensive, multisystem care of the critically-ill neurological patient. Like other intensivists, the neurointensivist assumes the primary care role for his or her patients in the ICU, coordinating both the neurological and medical management of the patient. Hence, the Neurocritical Care Core Curriculum is evenly split between neurological and medical diseases and conditions, and fellowship training may include rotations through non- neurological ICUs. Most uniquely, neurocritical care is concerned with the interface between the brain and other organ systems in the setting of critical illness. “People are alive and well in our community because of this program,” explains Dr. Helseth. “It’s a very, very, very big impact program and it’s a rapidly developing science. It’s not a static area and it’s not fully explored. There’s new technology, new techniques – there’s so much more to learn, so much more to do.” Dignity Health’s Stroke Program sees 400 to 500 people per year, and it’s growing quickly. “In our first full year, we did about 50 emergency stroke procedures. For the first year of a program, that is really quite amazing.” What does the future hold for Dignity’s stroke program? More outreach and community education, to start with, Dr. Helseth says. Another stroke specialist will join the team this summer, which will add “fresh blood” and additional capacity, he says. Right now, he has trained and is assisted by Dr. Thomas Bey, a Redding Interventional Radiologist, who says, “We try to give the patients a chance. Our goal is to get them to a better quality of life.” Both Drs. Helseth and Bey are Board Certified in Critical Care and Certified by the United Council of Neurocritical Care Subspecialties in Neurocritical Care, and are two of only 200 such doctors in the United States. “There are tons of great success stories and exciting cases that end up with terrific outcomes,” Dr. Helseth says. “We’re not just looking to save lives. We’re looking to restore functional independence. Did we help you get back to where you can live your life or not? That’s what we’re looking to do.”

GOOD TIMES

Life’s a Picnic DINING AL FRESCO LIKE A PRO Al fresco: al fres.co /al ‘fresko- / (adverb or adjective) “in the open air” Also see: barbecue, clambake, cookout, excursion, outing WHEN IT COMES TO picturesque places for dining al fresco, the North State is the crème de la crème. Our beautiful flora and fauna, coupled with stellar waterfalls, rivers, creeks and countryside set the tone for a lovely meal with your love(s). But there is more to a perfect meal in the great outdoors than a beautiful setting. It’s about having the proper equipment – and some good nosh – in place to make the experience as blissful as it should be.
THE PROPER EQUIPMENT A BASKET – Obviously, this is the basis for any great outdoor meal. It’s the keeper of all of the good things. Find one that has all of the bells and whistles you are looking for. It’ll be money well spent. A BLANKET – It’s ideal if it’s quilted for comfort, colorful for aesthetics and washable for function. FOLDING CHAIRS – If you don’t love the idea of sitting on a blanket, that is. UTENSILS – Skip the disposable utensils. You can’t top the durability of the real deal. Keep an inexpensive set stashed in your basket. Don’t forget a spreader, a knife and a cutting board. PLATES – Pick up a set of melamine plates. The lightweight plastic will hold up better than paper alternatives, but you won’t run the risk of breakage. Just keep them away from direct heat, dishwashers and microwaves. CLOTH NAPKINS – These make the meal feel like a luxurious dining experience – as it should be. GLASSES – We can’t deny the appeal of an acrylic, shatterproof, stemless option. If you prefer glassware, consider serving your libations in a mason jar. It’ll only add to the charm of the great outdoors.
A BOTTLE OPENER – Don’t be caught without one. Imagine having the perfect bottle of wine or champagne to enjoy, but nothing with which to open it. That’s a drag. SUNSCREEN – Nothing is more annoying than taking home a sunburn as a souvenir. HAND SANITIZER – Dirty, sticky hands are a no-go. BUG REPELLENT – No matter how pristine the spot, there are likely to be at least a few little unwanted guests around for the party. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon around your blanket to ward off ants. Apply a Deet-free insect repellent for good measure and bring the bottle along to reapply as necessary. Draw flying insects away from you by placing something appealing on a plate away from your blanket. WIPES, PAPER TOWELS, PLASTIC BAGS AND TRASH BAGS – All of these are important for easing the clean-up process. In fact, it’s a great idea to keep them in your car at all times, whether or not you have an outdoor adventure planned.4 continued on page 56

FROZEN WATER BOTTLES – Bypass the ice run. These will keep your food cool on the way, and as they melt, you’ll stay hydrated. Bring some chilled bottles along for immediate consumption. MASON JARS – These are the perfect vehicle to transport your al fresco meal. They are reusable, provide good protection from dirt and critters and are likely to keep your food tasting better than any of their plastic counterparts. AN EMERGENCY KIT – Just in case. A PORTABLE PHONE CHARGER – Going off the grid is great, but being able to make a call in a pinch is a necessity.
SOME GOOD NOSH
FRESH FRUIT – Grapes, blueberries, cut watermelon, tangerines, whole peaches and nectarines are ideal. Avoid fruit that will break apart or discolor before you have a chance to enjoy it. VEGGIES – A mason jar salad (with the dressing on the very bottom and the layered vegetables on top to keep it fresh) is a fun way to get your green on while out in nature. Celery, carrots, broccoli and heirloom cherry tomatoes are great for snacking, but local olives, artichoke hearts, pickled green beans, okra and good, oldfashioned dill pickles will keep your taste buds engaged. DIPS & SPREADS – Dips and spreads are great for pairing with, well, everything. Bring only what portion of it you can reasonably consume in one sitting, so nothing goes to waste. DRINKS – Bring along plenty of bottled water. Canned or bottled sodas will do the trick, but we love the idea of bringing along lemonade or fruit juice in a mason jar. A BOTTLE OF WINE, CHAMPAGNE OR BEER – Just be sure to abide by all rules and regulations regarding alcohol consumption. CHEESE – Where there is wine, cheese is sure to follow. Individually wrapped, spreadable cheese makes it easy. A FRENCH BAGUETTE, CRACKERS, & CHIPS – Forget about the carbohydrate counting - just this once. Your experience won’t be the same without these. THE MAIN EVENT – It’s purely about your preference here. Sandwiches are great because you can make them ahead of time. Fried chicken is a dynamite option because it can still be served hot if you time it properly. If you are all about the grill, hot dogs and burgers are sure fire. And don’t overlook something like a freshly made sushi roll for something out of the box. Just don’t forget the wasabi, soy sauce, ginger and chopsticks. SWEETS – Brownie bites, lemon bars, donuts or cookies – it all works! But if we had to pick a favorite, it would be chocolate-dipped strawberries. You will have to eat dessert first, though – and we couldn’t think of a more fitting mantra for dining al fresco and for life, itself.
BRING ALONG SOME EXTRA FUN
A PORTABLE SPEAKER – Set the date to music. Set up a playlist of your favorites or pick a station and let the good vibes roll. CARDS, BOARD GAMES OR DOMINOS – A little fun goes a long way. Just be sure to take all of your game pieces with you when you leave. A FLYING DISC OR A BALL – It’s a good way to work off that meal. COLORING BOOKS & BUBBLES – Keep the kids (big and small) entertained. A GOOD BOOK – Nothing says relaxation more than a few quiet moments to read in nature. ART SUPPLIES – In case inspiration strikes while you are out and about in a place this stunning. • Kimberly N.

EMMETT BURROUGHS AND T H E M U L E D E E R F O U N D AT I O N THIRTY YEARS AGO, Emmett Burroughs was in one of his favorite elements, the high-desert backcountry of Southern Nevada, and doing what he loved: hunting mule deer. Burroughs and his hunting partner had already enjoyed some success and the Redding resident was scanning the brushy terrain for another buck when he had an epiphany. After a lifetime of traveling throughout the West and enjoying the challenge and camaraderie of hunting, wasn’t it time to give back to the deer? “That’s when I came to the realization to do something. Somebody had to do something to give back to these majestic animals and that’s how it started,” Burroughs says. The “it” is the Mule Deer Foundation, which Burroughs founded in July 1988 after he assembled 15 friends and fellow hunters and asked them to join him in committing to the conservation of mule deer and black-tailed deer and their habitat. After incorporating as a nonprofit organization, the Foundation held its first banquet at a Redding hotel; some 400 people attended and the event raised more than $55,000. From those humble roots, the Foundation has grown to become one of the country’s leading wildlife conservation groups. To date, its programs have led to the restoration of more than 2 million acres of deer habit in the western United States. There are close to 300 chapters across the country with a combined membership of about 15,000. More than 50,000 people attended the Foundation’s annual Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in February in Salt Lake City. Burroughs was moved to act when he noticed mule deer populations failed to recover after a particularly had winter in 1983-84. Predators and poachers were claiming a number of deer; more crucially, cities, highways and subdivisions were continuing to gobble up historic mule deer habitat. 4 continued on page 60

Compounding the problem was the lack of adequate funding for state and federal wildlife agencies and management philosophies that were often at odds with the hunters buying the expensive licenses and deer tags that funded those agencies. “I thought everybody wanted to step up and support these critters. That was not true. It turns out hunters are the first conservationists,” Burroughs says. “So I created the Foundation and its mission to ensure the conservation of mule deer, blacktails (the genetic cousins of mule deer) and their habitat. It was hard. I created a ship for everybody to get on, but we needed to fill the sails and make it go, and that takes work and money.” Burroughs stepped down as executive director and chairman of the board after two years, turning the Foundation over to more experienced organization builders while he focused on his project management and consulting work and supporting the Foundation’s Shasta/Lassen Chapter. Lately he has been working to bolster the Foundation’s endowment. An impressive 92 percent of contributions to the Foundation are used to support its mission, which in recent years has included replanting native grasses and shrubs, removing invasive pinyon-juniper trees, maintaining wildlife “guzzlers” to combat the ravages of droughts, restoring critical habitat after wildfires and funding DNA research to aid in anti-poaching enforcement and herd management. 60

From its start in Redding, the Foundation relocated its headquarters to Reno, Nev., in 1992. After some up and down years, the Foundation moved its base to Salt Lake City in 2006 “and it took off like a rocket,” Burroughs says. Work continues at the local level, too, thanks in part to a chapter rewards program that allows chapters like Shasta/Lassen to keep a portion of the money it raises and use those funds to benefit North State mule deer herds. The North State chapter’s annual fundraiser is set for Friday, May 11, at the Win-River Event Center. “It’s been a good journey,” Burroughs says. “I didn’t know which direction it was going and now there are hundreds of people in the organization who care about the wellbeing of deer and I’m proud to be related to that. And not just because I founded it. We have an awesome team. There are just so many amazing stories you hear every year at the Expo.” In addition to his work with the Foundation, Burroughs has served on the Redding Planning Commission and the State Fair Board. He’s a member of the Turtle Bay Board of Regents and the Rotary Club of Redding. Burroughs and his wife, Vicky, have five children. •

PICTURE THIS J E R R Y N E L S O N S T U A R T, PA I N T I N G B E YO N D T H E O R D I N A R Y IMAGINE: You’re lounging in the pool. But not just any pool—the New York skyline frames the sides, and on the bottom, a map of Manhattan reflects back at you. Or how about a ceiling reminiscent of European art—cherubs fluttering in the clouds. Picture this: While doing the dishes, you gaze out at Lake Como—grapevines climbing the balcony, olive trees swaying in the warm breeze.
Jerry Stuart of Redding can transform your home, all with the stroke of a brush. The technique is called trompe l’oeil—the visual illusion in art, used to trick the eye into perceiving that a painted detail is three-dimensional. But this isn’t the only trick up Stuart’s sleeve—he is a man of many talents. 4 continued on page 64

By trade, he is a house painter: interior, exterior, murals, etc., through Jerry Nelson Stuart Painting Company. Named after his father and uncle, Stuart pays homage to both family members in his company. But he’s so much more than a house painter—he’s an artist with a passion for what he does. Born in upstate New York, Stuart discovered his artistic talent later in life. “I didn’t even know I could paint until my senior year of high school,” Stuart confesses. “All the good-looking girls were taking art classes, so I signed up.” Impressed by Stuart’s talent, his art teacher gave him a scholarship to go to college for art. After college, Stuart joined the Army, Charlie Co. 20th Engineer Battalion, where he was asked to paint murals on day-room walls. Stuart was free to paint anything, as long as there was an Army theme. He
quickly discovered his love of large-scale painting. Once he left the Army, he began painting apartment complexes—he learned the trade and enjoyed doing it. “I started out with hardly anything and built my business,” Stuart explains. He kept hearing people talk about how much they hated painting. “That was really good news for me,” Stuart says with a laugh. Then a good friend asked him, “If you could do anything, and you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you be doing?” Stuart answered, without a doubt, he knew he would paint—paint and teach. His friend said that’s what he should be doing. “And I’ve been doing it ever since.” He moved to the North State 10 years ago, and has worked in many areas, including Mt. Shasta, McCloud and Redding. Stuart is a general painting contractor who specializes in decorative finishes; however, he is also a certified instructor in many mediums, as well as specialized paints.

Such focus helps promote resources and awareness around the issues of suicide prevention, how you can help others and how to talk about suicide without increasing the risk of harm. Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background, “Suicide does not Discriminate”. In Indian Country, suicide rates are higher than the general population. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people and is often the result of mental health conditions that affect people when they are most vulnerable. Suicidal thoughts and suicide occur too frequently but should not be considered common and can indicate more serious issues. In many cases the individuals, friends and families affected by suicide are left in the dark, feeling shame or stigma that prevents talking openly about issues dealing with suicide. People may not show any signs of the intent to commit suicide before they commit suicide. But there are behaviors that may indicate a person is at risk for suicide, and it is important to be aware of warning signs and risk factors. If you notice any warning signs for
suicide, starting a conversation with the person may save their life. Recognizing and Respond, learn the warning signs: • Hopelessness; feeling like there is no way out • Anxiety, agitation, sleeplessness, or mood swings • Feeling like there is no reason to live • Rage or anger • Engaging in risky activities • Increasing alcohol or drug abuse • Withdrawing from family and friends Get Help Share available resources with the person. Be willing to make the call, or take part in the call to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (Talk). The toll-free confidential Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Let the person know that you are willing to go with them to see a professional when they are ready.

But it was one client who asked Stuart to paint something he had never tried before that really put Stuart on the map, so to speak. When approached to paint a client’s pool in order for the pool to retain heat, Stuart ended up painting it more than just the requested black. “I had never done pools,” Stuart says. “But I thought it would be cool to paint the New York City skyline.” The client agreed, so Stuart also painted the bottom of the pool to resemble a map of Manhattan. “It adds more interest than just a black bottom.” Now, the pool is just one of many creative projects Stuart is known for. He also painted the gigantic bass on the Antlers Bridge, north of Redding above the Sacramento arm of Shasta Lake, on Interstate 5 near Lakehead. One of Stuart’s heroes, Helen Keller, once said, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” For Stuart, that drives him, and he tries to live his life by this motto: “To create a better
working, living and playing environment through my artwork and my painting.” At the end of the day, can he check off that box? And usually, he says, he can. “It may seem like simple, basic life stuff, but life itself is too complicated these days, so simple is nice.” • Jerry Nelson Stuart (530) 859-5428 www.studiostuart.com Melissa Gulden grew up in Redding, and worked as a makeup artist for years before going into teaching.

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

LYING HIGH above on any given day is a feathered friend who F shares much of our history. Sometimes seen throughout time to be a nuisance, the pigeon is a bird with honor, bravery, intelligence and speed. Messenger pigeons have played a role in humanity and have been exploited since ancient times. The species has a history from Christian representations of the Holy Spirit to China and represents fidelity and longevity. The pigeons in our cities and towns are descendants of domesticated pigeons and wild rock doves, and they exist in nearly every corner of the world. In Mesopotamia the fertile fields provided seeds, and houses on farms and in cities provided roosts with plenty of nesting places. Fat, young nestlings provided protein in a time when sources of meat were scarce. Once they became domesticated, the birds become more than just a dietary staple. People found them to have traits like humans, including having one mate, a homing instinct and strong protection of home and family. 4 continued on page 68

Pigeons began to populate the cities and the ones who were captive became useful during wartime. The battles of the Greek city-states to World War II used pigeons to deliver messages with a 95 percent arrival rate. They can be trained to carry up to 2.5 oz. on their backs, and German apothecary Julius Newubronner delivered urgent medications by way of carrier pigeons. In 1977 England, laboratory specimens were transported between two hospitals using this method. Pigeons can gain altitudes of 6,000 feet or more and their speed averages nearly 80 mph. That speed is celebrated by the Shasta Racing Pigeon Club. Last November in Shasta Lake City, the club participated in the Veterans Day Parade by introducing a race release trailer complete with

I N T E R - M O U N TA I N H E R I TAG E B A L LO O N F E S T I VA L AS THE INTER-MOUNTAIN crew prepared for its Shasta County Fair celebration this month, they scheduled a firsttime event two weeks before their annual Memorial Day extravaganza. Residents and visitors alike will ride high into the sky in baskets beneath brightly-colored hot-air balloons during a Mother’s Day weekend event billed as the Heritage Balloon Festival. The event is a nod to a historic means of flight commemorating the days of the first Shasta County Fair, according to Renee Schneider, marketing coordinator for the nonprofit Inter-Mountain Fair and Event Center. “This year marks the centennial of the Inter-Mountain Fair,” she says. “On Saturday and Sunday, 15 or so balloons will take to the air, filling the skies with an array of color.” Other activities are scheduled leading into the Mother’s Day weekend, including a Thursday competition to drop a golf ball closest to a hole – from a tethered balloon – and a get-together Friday evening to mingle with the
pilots while sampling wine and cheese. Saturday evening features a Centennial Kickoff Dinner. Local students are in for treat early Thursday morning. “We will be having the pilots perform some demonstrations at the local schools,” says Schneider. “It’s a fun presentation of the science and skill behind piloting.” Children will be able to watch the pilots inflate and prep their balloons for flight at several schools in the Inter-Mountain area. Such a feat of organization is business as usual for the staff and volunteers of the Inter-Mountain Fair. The nonprofit manages the fairgrounds year around, offering vast variety of sporting and social events, as well as the genuine Shasta County Fair, says Fair Manager Kortney Woodward. “The fair in Anderson is the Shasta District Fair,” she emphasizes. “We are the Shasta County Fair and always4 continued on page 74

have been, since 1918. We used to be county employees.” That all changed during the recent recession, when the state cut funding in 2010. Within two years, funding was restored and maintained today by the office’s governing panel, the Inter-Mountain Fair Heritage Foundation. Woodward manages the 115-acre fairgrounds, offering an estimated 50 community organizations county-wide a place to hold their own events in any of seven buildings, not including barns and a covered arena with grandstands that seat 2,000. Want space indoors? Rent the 50,000-square-foot Pavilion for concerts and rodeos. “It’s even broader than that,” says Woodward. “The fairgrounds serves as a hub for the community. It’s a place for people to come for weddings or anniversaries or to play soccer, baseball, football. The fair is the social highlight every year. This year the theme is ‘Ride the Centennial Trail,’ a journey of the last 100 years.” The president of the Inter-Mountain Heritage Foundation, Elena Albaugh, enjoys a unique view of that journey. Though she's lived in the area for only 40 of those years, she married a descendant of one of the three 1918 founders of the fair, and knows the family stories going back to when the boys came back from Over There at the close of World War I. “Back then, people wanted to exhibit their livestock, their agricultural produce – from farm or garden – and their canned goods,” she says. “Roderick McArthur, James Day and William J. Albaugh formed a co-op. Our first fair had a rodeo.” She recalls the fair has come off over the decades without a hitch, so to speak, except for one year. “We didn’t have one at the beginning of World War II. But that’s the only one we missed.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MAY 2018
The name Albaugh became synonymous with the fair. “There’s a building in town called Albaugh Hall,” she says. “It was named after Willis Albaugh, who was a volunteer fair director for 56 years, from 1922 to 1978. His brother, Albert, took over for another maybe 20 years.” Elena Albaugh says the Inter-Mountain Fairgrounds has always been a good draw for bringing in people from outside. “A marketing company called us a blue-ribbon community,” she says. “People come and use us as an activities hub. We’ve got the Mountain Jubilee in June. They’ll have a truck and car show, a horseshoe tournament.” The Mountain Jubilee, Heritage Balloon Festival, Centennial County Fair and much more can be found on the Inter-Mountain Fair website. Albaugh says the population of McArthur has been a steady 330 or so for a long time, but the Inter-Mountain Fair and Event Center serves a local customer base of close to 5,000. And for the 90,000 folks in Redding, it's only an hour-and-a-half drive east on Highway 299. “We have a lot of RV spaces,” she says invitingly. “Room for a lot of people.” • The Inter-Mountain Fair and Event Center 44218 A St., McArthur (530) 336-5695 • www.inter-mountainfair.com

“Enjoy every sandwich.”
- Warren Zevon (advice given on the Late Show with David Letterman, when he knew he had terminal mesothelioma)
Photos courtesy of WalterTrout.com
FANS OF BLUES ROCK around the world rejoiced when blues guitarist and singer Walter Trout battled back from the brink of death after laying in a hospital bed in critical condition for months with liver failure. Before being struck down, Trout had established himself as one of the leading figures in contemporary blues rock, a task that took nearly four decades. He started his career as a sideman in 1973 after moving to Los Angeles from New Jersey, and was one of the token “white boy” players in several predominately black blues clubs, backing people like Pee Wee Crayton, Percy Mayfield, John Lee Hooker and Big Mama Thornton. He stepped out of the club and into the bigger venues when he was asked to replace the late Bob Hite and join the legendary ‘60s band Canned Heat. He was with them until 1984, when he joined up with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. “When I joined Canned Heat on New Year’s Eve, 1980, that’s when the tours really began. From then until I got sick, I was doing more than 200 cities a year, every year. When I got with John Mayall, we worked our asses off.” In 1989, Trout stepped out from behind the incredible players he had been supporting and decided to stand in the center spotlight. “As much fun as I had being a sideman and playing with a lot of the greats, I would come home after my tours and go and play at the corner bars with my friends, and that's when I would really get into the guitar. That's when I decided I've got to do my own band, make my own music, and play the way I want to; what I feel is me. When I went solo, I was gone for at least eight months of the year, every year, up until I got sick. And in 24 years, I made 22 albums.” But while tasting success, Trout indulged heavily in drugs and alcohol. And in the summer of 2013, at age 62, he was diagnosed with liver failure; the once-hefty bluesman withered rapidly and soon came face to face with the menacing shadow of his own mortality.4 continued on page 78

“My liver is fried, through heroin and alcohol,” he conceded in the pages of “Rescued From Reality,” the biography that appeared around the time of his “The Blues Came Callin’,” an album that confronted the life-and-death issues he was facing in early 2014. “I was really sick when I made that and I was really struggling. Fluid was pressing on my diaphragm and my lungs and I didn’t have any breath. I didn’t have any strength in my fingers. I finished that album and about a week later, I was put in the hospital, finally resulting in the liver transplant. That’s how close it was. I didn’t think, even if I survived, that I would ever be a musician again.” It wasn’t until he returned to California in September of 2014 that the dark clouds begin to dissipate. “I had to start over again. I had no calluses. I had no muscles. I had to work out with weights for my forearms. I would try to play chords and my fingers would bleed.” Trout’s return to good health and to his chosen profession is being celebrated each time he steps onstage, plugs in and invigorates an audience with his playing. His latest album, “We’re All In This
Together,” was recorded with 14 close friends in the industry including his son Jon, a skilled string bender himself. Last year, Trout’s wife and manager, Dr. Marie Trout, released her book, “The Blues – Why It Hurts So Good.” It shows that to some contemporary fans, the blues are still life-saving and sanity-restoring; for others, it provides access to cathartic and mood-enhancing elements; but for all, it offers a break to just let go and be. All proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Blues Foundation’s HART Fund, established for blues musicians and their families in financial need due to a broad range of health concerns. • The Walter Trout Band Sunday, May 27 Feather Falls Casino in Oroville www.featherfallscasino.com/entertainment 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.

garden party A CO L L E C T I O N O F G A R D E N H A C K S F R O M F R I E N D S A N D CO -W O R K E R S WE ARE OFFICIALLY full-on into the spring gardening season. It’s been a bit of a time crunch lately, and I’ve been trying to balance time at work, with family, and trying to make sure my yard isn’t the sorriest patch on the block. It’s amazing what we can come up with when trying to simplify and save time. I’ve been collecting garden hacks over the past few months from friends, co-workers and the web. I figured it would only be fair to share them with everyone, so here are a few of my favorites. If you’ve never heard the term “hack” used in this manner, a hack is a clever or useful way to adapt or improve something. • Grass clumping or sticking to the inside of the lawnmower? Make sure the underside is clean, then coat it generously with non-stick cooking spray. Be safe – make sure your gas and oil reservoirs won’t spill if you tip the mower back. • Hanging plants can be hard to water without the excess water spilling out or dripping from the bottom. Open up a clean baby diaper and put it in the bottom of the planter before potting plants. Those diapers can hold a LOT of liquid and keep things moist. • When you water smaller potted plants, soil often comes out the drainage holes. Prevent soil loss by putting two coffee filters into the bottom of the pot before you plant. The filters allow water to drain, but keep the soil in place.
• Planting from seeds? An empty rotisserie chicken container with a clear lid is a perfect mini greenhouse to use as a seed starter. • Neighborhood cats often like to do their business in garden areas and planters. You can fill small areas with pine cones to deter cats and other small animals from walking on them. Sometimes a border of pine cones can do the trick. Sprinkling pepper or chili powder in the beds is also a good deterrent – cats hate the smell. • No one likes to pick weeds. If you want to try the eco-friendly route to killing weeds, use a mixture of one gallon white vinegar, one cup of salt and three tablespoons of dish soap. Many people swear by this method. Once the salt dissolves, use in a household spray bottle or weed sprayer. • Rusty garden tools or barbecue grate? Scrubbing them with pieces of potato or cucumber can take off the rust. These helpful hacks should get your mind moving. If you’ve got a great hack of your own, share it with us on Enjoy’s Facebook page. •

I have known Loni for many years and I am happy to have had the pleasure of meeting her wonderful mother. Loni’s Mother’s Day remembrance read, “You know how much I LOVE my mom and all of her memories. So, I thought I would submit one of my favorites. The one that was always my go-to, keep-me warm recipe was her Oven Baked Stew. Whether it was a cold winter night, a day of skiing, snowshoeing, a cabin in the woods or a winter family gathering, it was the best. Comfort food, love on a plate! To this day, when I think about a warm meal, it is this one. Plus, it always brings my mom home! It’s love and always warms my heart.”

The Reach Higher Shasta Counseling Initiative aims to improve student outcomes for Shasta County students. The Counseling Initiative has achieved tremendous results since its inception in Fall of 2016. 1. Increased College Eligibility Course Completion Pattern (“A-G”) from 30.8% to 41.8% comparing Classes of 2016 and 2017. 2. Increased completion rate of Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from 38% to 67.7% comparing March, 2017- March, 2018. Growth in our college going culture has improved in large part due to the professional growth and efforts of Shasta County’s school counselors and administrators. Together, school counselors and administrators have been privileged to attend five days of professional development from Dr. Trish Hatch and Danielle Duarte of Hatching Results LLC. Dr. Trish Hatch is a nationally acclaimed author and trainer in the American School Counselor Association’s (ASCA) professional standards. Shasta College is supporting the work with Dr. Hatch and her team through the Shasta College Promise Grant. Resulting from the Hatching Results Academy, Shasta County’s high school counselors have developed a common counseling curriculum to be delivered in our comprehensive public high schools. Beginning next fall, students will notice a presence of their high school counselors teaching lessons around academic, college/career, and social/emotional development in a variety of classrooms. Shasta Union High School District’s Superintendent, Jim Cloney, states “In my nearly 20 years as an administrator in Shasta County this is the first time I know of that districts have together so clearly focused on working toward common counseling practices to improve outcomes for all students.” Reach Higher Shasta encourages frequent communication between students, parents, and the school counselor in order to take full advantage of educational opportunities within our Shasta County public schools as well as to be informed of postsecondary (education post high school) opportunities.

THE COAST GUARD Auxiliary Division 3 is the uniformed civilian volunteer arm of the United States Coast Guard. Their four flotillas span the greater Sacramento region and include the Sacramento River, Sacramento Delta, Lake Folsom and other areas as assigned. More than 200 members from this division volunteer their time to support the Coast Guard and the recreational boating public. These volunteers furnish and maintain their own equipment and are able to participate at a level

tailored to their individual capabilities, while providing direct operational administrative support to local Coast Guard units. They patrol on land, water and in the air. Congress established the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in 1939 to assist the Coast Guard in encouraging boating safety. The Auxiliary still provides boating and safety classes for youth and adults, and they examine recreational vessels for safety equipment to ensure that all will be safe on the waterways. The Auxiliary is trained in seamanship and related skills, while further training the public on all aspects of boating. Volunteers assist in Search and Rescue operations, stand radio watch at the Coast Guard Station, work in the recruiting office and work with the Marine safety office on pollution issues. You can wear the Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform by becoming part of Team Coast Guard. People qualify through training and participate in outings, training sessions, patrols, courtesy Marine examinations, classes and conferences.
