“We were always afraid we’d cannibalize our Pale Ale if we came out with another hoppy pale ale, another India Pale Ale (IPA). We probably debated it for way more years than we should have, and finally decided, ‘Let’s just do it, we’re sort of missing the boat on what the drinkers want,’ ” says Grossman.

Grossman also hooked up with Sam Calagione of the experimental Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales in Delaware to produce two collaborative beers, Life & Limb and Limb & Life.

Additionally, Sierra Nevada formed a partnership with the Trappist-Cistercian Abbey of New Clairvaux to create a new brand of Belgian-inspired beers called Ovila.

Proceeds from that project will benefit the monks of the Abbey of New Clairvaux in their efforts to rebuild their architectural marvel, a 12th century, early-gothic Cistercian chapter house, on their grounds in Vina, a few miles north of Sierra Nevada’s home in Chico.

In addition to his commercial success over the last 30 years, Grossman has been a significant contributor to his community.

He devotes a good deal of his time and resources supporting local organizations, public television and radio, music and the arts, and many civic and community-enhancement organizations. •

fallmagic What a wonderful response we had to our fourth anniversary issue – we knew you’d be as enchanted as we were by our first-ever illustrated cover, but we were truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of complimentary calls and e-mails. Thank you for helping to make our anniversary so memorable.

Summer seemed reluctant to give way to fall, but we’re finally enjoying chilly nights, changing leaves and pumpkin-flavored treats.

This is also the time of year when we honor the heroes among us – our veterans. Decorated Army Sgt. Tad A. Donoho, Jr., will receive a hero’s welcome when he comes home this month for a Cascade Theatre screening of “Restrepo: One Platoon, One Valley, One Year.” This award-winning documentary chronicles a year in the life of Donoho’s platoon while stationed in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley.

You can also show your pride and gratitude at the Shasta Lake Lions Club’s annual Veterans Day parade, which salutes the 60th anniversary of the Korean War this year. “They’re kind of forgotten,” says Lions Club member Elmer Ellsworth. “We want to especially honor them this year.”

Consider paying a visit to Paul and Summer Reichow, who make magic happen year round at Geppetto’s Toy Shop in Mt. Shasta. If you have a few extra minutes, sit down and work on one of the jigsaw puzzles that wait for creative minds to rearrange the pieces into pictures.

Speaking of fascinating people, meet Susan Klopfer, who has raced on ostriches and camels, tears around racetracks in her Mini Cooper, flies ultralight planes and skydives. Her customers at Cedar Tree Restaurant in Palo Cedro enjoy living vicariously through her experiences, and we’re sure you will, too.

We’ll also share how you can support “life moments” for young men and women facing life-threatening illnesses through ShanesWay, an organization founded in honor of the late Shane Cattanach. The organization aims to honor his zeal for life despite his lifelong struggle with a chronic illness. “We want to help these young adults do something they have always dreamed about, but didn’t know how to accomplish,” says Kari Cattanach, Shane’s mother.

Peek around the corner, and you’ll see the holidays approaching. WinterFest kicks off the season with a community-focused downtown celebration at the end of the month. But there’s still time before the holiday hustle and bustle begins to take a road trip through some of California’s most beautiful terrain. Rugged coastline, redwood forests and wine country collide in Mendocino County, a sweet escape from busy days. We’ll give you some places to start your adventure.

WINTERFEST IN REDDING’S MARKET STREET PROMENADE The holiday season finds many North State residents setting up sparkling lights and putting up Christmas trees, decorating their houses and shopping for gifts. This year, the goal of WinterFest is to have festivities reach beyond individual houses and neighborhoods to a community-wide celebration centered in downtown Redding.

The theme for the premier holiday event is community spirit and participation. WinterFest will feature a spectacular glittering Display of Lights, created by numerous nonprofits, schools, churches and local businesses. The luminous extravaganza will consist of 50 10-by10-foot display spaces in the Market Street Promenade that have each been decorated by these community organizations.

“It’s a display of lights, created by the community for the community,” says Alan Leard, co-owner of Vintner’s Cellar and WinterFest committee member. Leard says this year’s WinterFest is to emulate San Jose’s Christmas in the Park Winter Festival. The Promenade will be transformed into a winter wonderland, all free and open to the public. “We’re turning downtown into the North Pole,” says Claudia Licata, co-owner of Leatherby’s Family Creamery and a committee member.

The wonderland comes complete with a Santa’s workshop, adorned with a towering tree, which will be located in the Atrium at the south end of the Promenade, and a tree lot situated near Need 2 Speed. In addition to Santa’s Workshop, the Atrium will host live musical performances by local talent, with both attractions beginning Dec. 2. The Christmas tree lighting ceremony will take place on Dec. 3 at 5 pm, and on Dec. 4, you can enjoy the annual Christmas parade throughout downtown at 6 pm.

Sponsored by Viva Downtown and coordinated by the WinterFest committee, which includes Leatherby’s, Vintner’s Cellar, Need 2 Speed, Boardmart and California Décor Store, the goal of this year’s festival was to create a magical event in downtown and bring the community together. “In downtown, we feel like one big family and by bringing the community into the Promenade it’s like bringing them home to our family for the holidays,” says Licata.

Various community organizations and local businesses will participate in this year’s WinterFest. The Girl Scouts of Northern California have played a major role in the planning and development and will be assisting with Santa’s Workshop. “They are a huge asset this year. Lots of parent involvement and kids helping with making signs and so much more,” says Jana Leard, a committee member.

Redding Electric Utility will contribute a grant to help defray the electrical costs of the lights section and the committee encourages local merchants to light up and decorate their businesses in a

15 Enjoy November 2010

collaborative effort to illuminate all of downtown. The committee’s hope for WinterFest is to inspire the community to experience downtown this holiday season and partake in its distinct assortment of local eateries and shops. “You can have dinner, do some shopping or check out some displays,” says Licata. “Or you can stroll through and not spend a dollar. Just be a part of downtown.”

Set-up of displays will begin Nov. 28. The Display of Lights runs from Dec. 1 to Jan. 1, and can be viewed from 4 pm to midnight.

Santa’s Workshop is open for photos from 4 to 8 pm Thursday and Friday, and 2 to 8 pm on Saturday. •

Story: Melissa Mendonca

early gothic chapter house rebuilt in vina

It had been a long journey by the time the young Cistercian Trappist monk stepped off a train in San Francisco from his mother abbey in Gethsemani, Kentucky, in 1955. En route to his new home in the tiny unincorporated Tehama County town of Vina, there was a bit of time before the next leg of his journey to the 2 ½-month-old Abbey of New Clairvaux, so a friend offered to show him around the city. There, behind the De Young Museum and Japanese Tea Garden, he found crate after crate of stones – sacred stones – which had once been the Chapter House of Sancta Maria de Ovila, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey about 80 miles northeast of Madrid, Spain.

continued on page 19

November 2010 Enjoy 18

While Thomas Davis was just beginning his life as a contemplative monk, these sacred stones had already had an incredible life journey from Spain to California via the hands of their original Cistercian owners, Spanish government officials, the infamous newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and city officials in San Francisco.

The image of these stones seared into the mind of the young monk, along with a dream to bring them back to Cistercian soil.

Upon arrival at New Clairvaux, Davis took up a lifestyle typical to the Trappists. He heeded a call to prayer seven times a day and lived simply in his brotherhood of monks supporting themselves through agricultural endeavors away from the hustle and bustle of modern living. This included extended periods of silence, which have now been modified to after-evening prayer until morning prayer rather than entire days. He wore the brown robes so iconic to Catholic monks.

In 1970, Davis became abbot at New Clairvaux, offering him the opportunity to realize his long-held dream of bringing the stones to Vina to reconstruct the original Chapter House. Today, that dream is becoming a reality. Davis has retired as abbot but remains at New Clairvaux, where he continues his contemplative life, farming walnuts and prunes and tending to the grapes of the abbey’s vineyard. As he toils away at the earth, stone masons carefully work the original stones and connect them to new limestone bricks quarried from Texas – the closest match to the original.

The stones made their way to California via Hearst, who bought the condemned building of Santa Maria de Ovila. His original goal was to recreate his Wyntoon Castle in McCloud with the stones, but economics being what they were in the 1930s, he ended up selling them to the city of San Francisco in the hopes that a grand “monastery” museum would be built with them.

raised enough money to continue with the project and the stones languished for decades, subject to pilfering, vandalism and five fires.

After much negotiation between city officials and the monks, the stones were loaded onto 272 pallets and hauled by a Corning trucking company from Golden Gate Park to their final destination in Vina. It was this award from the city of San Francisco that makes the stones accessible today. As a condition of the award, city officials require that the stones be made available to the public.

And so the public is invited to witness as one of only three authentic medieval, early Gothic structures in the United States is recreated right here in the North State. The Chapter House is now far enough along that one can witness elements unique to Cistercian architecture, including light, harmony, simplicity and space. The original stones form the interior of the building to protect them from further deterioration.

A chapter house is a gathering place for important decisions and discussions amongst the order. It is where the abbot reads a daily chapter of the governing Rule of St. Benedict and where novices are received into the monastery. In a word, it is a place for discernment.

The reconstruction is slow, not just because it is a laborious undertaking, but because the monks have adopted a pay-as-you-go approach to the financing in accordance to their monastic lifestyle.

The end result will be worth it, as finance committee member Jane Flynn wistfully envisions the day when the stones will “hear the same prayers, the same petitions, the same readings as a group of men that heard them more than 800 years ago.” •

Business

continued on page 25 November 2010 Enjoy 24

In addition to its status as an industry-leading craft brewery, the company is known for its innovative approach to manufacturing and its high environmental standards. Founder and owner Ken Grossman says his early inspirations came from brew pioneers Charlie Papazian, Fred Eckhardt, Fritz Maytag and Jack McAuliffe, and that he recently approached all four to collaborate on some special beers to commemorate Sierra’s 30th anniversary on Nov. 15.

“We wanted to pay tribute to the original pioneers who helped me and hundreds of others get started,” says Grossman. “Few people in the craft-brewing world have accomplished more than these guys, and we thought it would be fun to get the original crew together and make something special.”

Grossman learned about home brewing as a young man, using homemade equipment to brew five-gallon batches of beer. After completing his degree in chemistry at Chico State University, he opened The Home Brew Shop in downtown Chico to supply local home brewing folks with equipment, materials and brewing advice.

Two years later, in 1980, he built the first Sierra Nevada Brewing facility from dairy tanks and equipment salvaged from defunct breweries and a soft-drink bottler. Though the equipment was secondhand, he created a first-rate microbrewery, the ingredients were premium, including the copious quantities of hops that would become the brewery’s trademark.

Over the next decade, the demand for Sierra Nevada brews exceeded the brewery’s modest brewing capacity and in 1989, they built a new brewery which has become a well-known enterprise on East 20th Avenue, near Highway 99.

Taking an exploratory trip to Germany, Grossman brought back

25 Enjoy November 2010

a traditional 100-barrel copper brew house, which became the heart of the new brewery. This met demand for a while, but the brewery soon needed to expand again, and in 1997, Ken commissioned the original coppersmiths to match new kettles to the originals, bringing the brewery’s total capacity to almost 800,000 barrels per year.

Thirty years later, Grossman is still involved in every aspect of the Sierra Nevada operation, and he’s still totally committed to quality, premium ingredients and brewing techniques.

“We have one of the longest track records of any of the breweries out there,” says Grossman. “We still bottle condition the vast majority of our beer. We still use whole cone hops, and we don’t use any extracts of pellets.”

They have also created Chico Estate Harvest Ale using hops and barley grown on the brewery’s property (an experiment in applying the winemaking concept of terroir to beer), and have plans to use corked bottles for specialty beers.

Agricultural sustainability and environmental stewardship are extremely important to Grossman, and are mainstays of his business.

He serves on several river conservation boards and is involved in local environmental organizations.

Other than occasional seasonal specialties, before this year, Sierra Nevada had not added a product to its year-round lineup since 1992; before that, 1980.

This year, the company added two year-round beers to their portfolio: Kellerweis, a Bavarian-style wheat beer with assertive banana and clovey flavors, and Torpedo, an “extra IPA” that Grossman started working on 10 years ago, before the current hoppy trend.

“We were always afraid we’d cannibalize our Pale Ale if we came out with another hoppy pale ale, another India Pale Ale (IPA). We probably debated it for way more years than we should have, and finally decided, ‘Let’s just do it, we’re sort of missing the boat on what the drinkers want,’ ” says Grossman.

Grossman also hooked up with Sam Calagione of the experimental Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales in Delaware to produce two collaborative beers, Life & Limb and Limb & Life.

Additionally, Sierra Nevada formed a partnership with the Trappist-Cistercian Abbey of New Clairvaux to create a new brand of Belgian-inspired beers called Ovila.

Proceeds from that project will benefit the monks of the Abbey of New Clairvaux in their efforts to rebuild their architectural marvel, a 12th century, early-gothic Cistercian chapter house, on their grounds in Vina, a few miles north of Sierra Nevada’s home in Chico.

In addition to his commercial success over the last 30 years, Grossman has been a significant contributor to his community.

He devotes a good deal of his time and resources supporting local organizations, public television and radio, music and the arts, and many civic and community-enhancement organizations. •

As a favor to Susan Klopfer, please do not mention any new action-adventure activities you might be involved in. There’s too much on her plate already. Plus, she has a serious weak spot for anything that involves adrenaline.

We’re talking about a woman, after all, who has ridden on the back of ostriches. She’s raced camels in Australia. She drives her Mini Cooper sports car at high speeds on racetracks like Laguna Seca, Thunderhill Raceway Park and Infineon. She flies ultralight planes, skydives and has ridden her 20-year-old Harley-Davidson across the country. And this is just scratching the surface.

November 2010 Enjoy 30

“I’m an adrenaline junkie,” says Klopfer. “There’s so much to do and experience doing in life. I’ll try anything.”

When she’s not hurling along at high speeds, you might find Klopfer waiting tables at the Cedar Tree Restaurant in Palo Cedro, an establishment she’s owned for the past 21 years. Some of her patrons tip her and tell her to put the money toward her exciting lifestyle. Not everyone can be so daring, but they do enjoy living vicariously through her.

At the Cedar Tree, Klopfer says she and her staff pride themselves on the “real food” made from scratch, generous portions and a comfortable atmosphere where customers feel right at home.

“We’re not a chain,” she adds. “It’s just me and my crew.”

Down a hallway that leads to her office, several photos reveal the diversity and colorful nature of her life.

Klopfer was a Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association barrel racer for seven years and won two California Cowboy Pro Rodeo Association state championships. The sport took her all across the United States, feeding both her passion for speed and her love for travel.

“I loved the performance of the horse and I loved seeing the country, all the small towns,” Klopfer says. “I was gone on the road so much, almost 12 months a year. I got wrapped up in it pretty good, but I still had this other life.”

Those who know Klopfer know she loves more than just horses.

She owns two zebras (Zahara and Zeus), two camels (Nile and Hannibal), an Asian water buffalo (Boomerang), an ostrich (Shaba), two miniature donkeys and two horses.

She uses the animals to help advertise for the restaurant, but just to keep things straight – they’re never actually on the menu.

“They’re my pets, my kids,” she says. “I don’t have a good story (for why I have them). You just do what feels good to you. People say, ‘But

they’re exotic.’ I say, ‘No, I got them all here in the United States.’ ” During a trip to the Kentucky Derby in 1992, Klopfer found herself at a zoo called the Kentucky Down Under. She found out where the zoo had acquired a camel, and within hours, she was at a camel farm purchasing one of her own. Over the years, she learned where to obtain the other animals domestically.

Aside from restaurants, action sports and interesting animals, Klopfer is also a big fan of world travel. She rode a camel to see the Great Pyramids in Egypt (as well as a boat trip on the Nile River).

She’s been on a photo safari that covered most of Kenya. She’s traveled to New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, the Caribbean and nearly every country in Europe.

A native of Los Angeles who was raised in tiny Hyampom (near Hayfork), Klopfer’s parents were also fans of traveling. Staring at her father’s photos as a kid made her want to visit every place he had snapped an image.

She looks for sweet deals on the Internet and isn’t afraid to leave at a moment’s notice. Traveling is its own kind of adrenaline rush.

“When you go to a foreign country you’re going to experience something and you don’t know what,” Klopfer says. “I’m not a tour bus person.”

So what explains Klopfer’s passion for soaking in every ounce of life she can?

A near-death experience more than two decades ago left her thankful for every day. She also overcame a fight with cancer in 1986.

More recently, becoming single has increased her interest in getting out and trying new experiences.

“My whole thing is, you make life what you want it to be,” she says.

“Every day that the sun rises and sets is the best day of my life. You don’t let life pass you by.” • www.cedartreefood.com

Story: Kerri Regan

award - winning film , local soldier come to the cascade Five years ago, he was a class clown with mediocre grades who was looking for a way to make his dad proud.

This month, decorated Army Sgt. Tad A. Donoho, Jr., will receive a hero’s welcome home in honor of Veterans Day – and the North State will have the rare opportunity to experience war through his eyes during a film screening at the Cascade Theatre.

“Restrepo: One Platoon, One Valley, One Year” chronicles a year in the life of Donoho’s platoon while it was stationed in Afghanistan’s treacherous Korengal Valley. The feature-length documentary earned the Grand Jury Prize in the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

Before the screening, a ceremony including a 21-gun salute will take place at the Veterans’ Garden in front of the Redding Convention Center. The Patriot Riders will then escort Donoho and his family to the Cascade Theatre; he will answer questions following the film.

Created by journalist Sebastian Junger (“The Perfect Storm”) and photographer Tim Hetherington, the film focuses on a 15-man

outpost named after Juan Restrepo, a medic killed in combat early in the deployment. Cameras never leave the Korengal Valley, and the filmmakers’ goal was to make viewers feel as if they’d just been through a 90-minute deployment.

“There are no interviews with generals or anyone higher than our company commander,” Donoho says. “There are no political views … it’s raw, real footage about what happens when you deploy to a really hot area.”

Donoho joined the military after graduating from Enterprise High School in 2005. He went to Italy with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and later earned his expert infantryman’s badge.

Next stop? Deployment.

“In my mind, I was like, I’m not ready for this. We are not ready for this,” Donoho says. “I found out later that everybody thinks that when they deploy. You’re playing the what-if game in your head before anything even happens.” 

The deployment was action-packed from the moment of arrival, Donoho says. “As soon as we land and the bird takes off, we start taking incoming mortar rounds. I don’t know what getting shot at sounds like. Everyone that’s been deployed before starts taking off to the bunkers. All of us privates are just walking … guys were saying, ‘What are you doing? We’re being shot at!’ It was like, ‘Welcome to Afghanistan from the Taliban.’ And that was basically the first day.”

On the eighth day, his best friend was killed. “After Day 8, it was like, I don’t care about myself. I know I have to protect my buddies to my left and to my right, and they’re doing the exact same thing,” Donoho says. “They’re the same guys that I would lay my life down for to this day.”

That brotherhood is captured in stunning fashion in “Restrepo.”

On Dec. 21, 2009, Donoho and his platoon (also featured in Junger’s book “War”) were invited to a private screening in New York City.

Most of Donoho’s appearances in the film showcase his rich sense of humor. But right after a funny scene, they cut to a clip of soldiers removing the body of a man that his comrades had considered “immortal.”

“He was just a beast. He was one of the best soldiers the Army had. When he died, everyone was like, if he died, where does that put me on the ladder of life?” Donoho says. “I’m there when they’re trying to carry him away … you can just see my heart break. It was a trainwreck of emotions.

“In another part of the movie, I come out and put on my iPod and dance,” Donoho says. “Afterwards, it goes back to Restrepo, still alive, in his last weekend before deployment. You’re just thinking, Restrepo, man, I miss that guy. All of us were laughing and crying at the same time.”

Donoho is now a sergeant squad leader with the 509th Airborne infantry in Louisiana, where he helps train soldiers for deployment.

“I love my job,” he says. “I can take this random guy who has stayed in his room and played video games all his life, and I can teach him well enough so that when he deploys he will stay alive. If I wasn’t good at my job I wouldn’t be alive right now, and that’s because I was trained by great leadership. Many times, I’ve taken off my uniform and it had bullet holes in it. I had a grazing wound to my neck when Restrepo died. I had to try to convince my dad it was just a piece of hot brass that burned me – I just recently told him what actually happened.”

Donoho will take a three-day pass to come into Redding for the Veterans Day events.

“For civilians, I think Veterans Day is a time to honor people – past, present and future – who are in the military. I personally view Veterans Day as a time to honor the people who have served and who have fallen.

“I am 100 times more mature than I was when I graduated high school,” Donoho says. “Nothing serious had happened to me where I just had to man up and take responsibility for my actions. It made me start thinking about other people. I’d run out in the middle of a firefight with bullets flying everywhere and not care, as long as I could get to my buddies. At 19 years old, when your best friend dies underneath you, it bumps you up to a higher maturity level.” •

T he acupuncture alternative For centuries, the Chinese have been onto something.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing which predates recorded history. The philosophy is rooted in the Taoist tradition which goes back more than 8,000 years. It originated as a preventative in China—the acupuncturists would only get paid if the emperors were well. It’s the oldest practiced medicine, dating back 5,000 years to the oldest medical book found.

It is the procedure of inserting and manipulating needles into various points on the body, to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture has been the subject of scientific research both in regard to its basis and therapeutic effectiveness since the late 20th century, but it remains controversial among medical researchers.

Michel Czehatowski knows the benefits of acupuncture and has been licensed and practicing in the Redding area since 1984. At age 19, he met an acupuncurist and became interested. Already active in martial arts and tai chi, Czehatowski immersed himself in Oriental philosophy and took classes in shiatsu. He traveled to China and worked in a hospital where there are entire wings devoted to acupuncure and doctors collaborate with one another to find the best possible care.

“People have always been looking for alternatives,” Czehatowski says. “They’re always seeking, asking. That’s when I started thinking, ‘What can I do?’”

He opened Redding Acupuncture Health Care and East Earth Trade Winds herbal store to provide people with an option to western medicine. Czehatowski started up the store about a year after becoming a licensed acupuncturist, and the herb store is now nationally recognized and does a huge online business.

“I opened my store so people would become aware of alternative health and how to treat themselves,” he says.

“It’s all about balance—rest, play, work.”

And speaking of work, Czehatowski says he truly loves his job because, among other reasons, he will “never retire.” Technically, he says, he’ll only get better as he ages—wiser. This is one of the things that drew acupuncturist Erica Shepard to explore this line of work, as well. 

continued on page 39 November 2010 Enjoy 38

Do you enjoy saving money?

When Erica was 13, her mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and began seeking alternative medicine. When she received acupuncture in the Bay Area, she had “amazing” results, which led to lifestyle changes. Seeing that at such a young age left quite an impression on Erica, resulting in her taking classes in acupuncture and herbs, alongside her psychology classes.

“My mom was my biggest inspiration,” Erica says. “And I liked the flexibility eastern medicine offers.”

She attended Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, graduating from the master’s program in four years while taking all pre-med classes. Acupuncturists need to be able to treat conditions of the body, which means they need to understand the human body and its complexities.

One visit can treat multiple conditions at once, and while it is still considered controversial by some, the stigma is lessening as people discover that acupuncture treats more than just pain; it can help with infertility, stress, insomnia, weight loss and side effects of treatments for such diseases as cancer.

According to Shepard, the more the name gets out in communities such as Redding, the more receptive professionals are to the idea. “We’re not just a bunch of hippies.”

They know that western medicine is necessary. “We don’t diagnose people,” Shepard says. “But we need to collaborate with doctors so that if someone has a problem we can’t fix, we can help find what will work for them.”

One of the main goals of acupuncture, according to Czehatowski, is getting the body back in balance.

“The body is really amazing,” he says. “It can heal itself.

Acupuncture is like turning on switches. We’re adjusting the body—the volume—to create more harmonious music in the body.”

Most say they can barely feel the needles, but for true needle-phobes (children, too), alternative treatments are available.

Even as old as acupuncture is, research continues, and eventually, Michel hopes to have even more collaboration with doctors in the community.

“My job is always changing,” says Michel. “It’s never boring. Seeing people get well, it’s huge. That kind of success rate and people taking charge of their lives – that’s the best part of my job.” • Exceptional Living

Holiday

Story: Kim Horg-Webb

untraditionally a little variety for thanksgiving day

Most people spend their Thanksgiving holiday eating the traditional turkey feast with loved ones, but many others choose to spend their holiday differently.

Thousands of Redding residents lace up their shoes to run a race in its 25th year. In the morning hours of the holiday, people can hear the sound of a turkey call to start the Turkey Trot.

A 10K is geared toward serious runners, while a two-mile race attracts people who just want to get out and get some exercise. Shasta Regional Medical Center coordinates the event while the City of Redding plans the Diestelhorst Dash for children ages 8 and under.

“For the past couple of years my family and I have walked the race,” says Peter Griggs, recreation marketing coordinator for the city of Redding. “It is a fun family time and it’s fun to get out and exercise.”

Redding resident Nancy Ruffner has participated in the Turkey Trot since year one. She says she decided to participate in the Trot because she didn’t have plans in the morning and knew later on that day that she would be eating a lot of food.

“When the race first started, there were only 13 people running and now there are probably a couple thousand people who participate,” Ruffner says.

“I have been a runner for 30 years and this event has gotten to be a family tradition. I run with a lot of other people I have known for years.”

Right before the Trot, children ages eight and under participate in the free Diestelhorst Dash. Children line up on the south side of the bridge at 7:45 am while parents wait on the other side. The mascot, Reddy Raccoon, hands out chocolate turkey-shaped lollipops as participants cross the finish line.

41 Enjoy November 2010

While some members of the community are trying to burn off calories before pigging out, others are trying to help people enjoy a good meal.

For the last two and a half years, Janet Shields of Redding has helped serve food to the needy on Thanksgiving. “I organize more than 200 volunteers who come and serve at the Good News Rescue Mission on that day. It is a wonderful time for the mission and the community to come together,” says Shields, the administrative assistant and volunteer coordinator for the Good News Rescue Mission.

Food is always served on Thanksgiving Day, but the mission holds a Great Thanksgiving Banquet at 11 am the day before, as well. The mission also gives out more than 500 turkeys and food baskets to those in need.

Redding residents Gary and Gloria Brantley have volunteered their time on Thanksgiving for the last eight years at the mission. Their tradition started when Gloria Brantley was asked to mentor women struggling with substance abuse. The couple enjoyed the experience so much that they decided to volunteer their services every holiday.

“We are not that far removed from the people who come to the rescue mission, and we look at it as our obligation to give back to them and give them hope,” Gary Brantley says. • For more info on Turkey Trot, visit www.shastaregional.com For more info on volunteering at the Mission, visit www.gnrm.org

T he reichows ' toy shop I N M T. S H A S TA

152 Morgan Way, Mt. Shasta (530) 926-6869 www.geppettostoyshop.com 45 Enjoy November 2010

Madeleine Reichow lives every child’s dream. She’s growing up in a toy store.

Her parents, Paul and Summer Reichow, lived the fast-paced life of Silicon Valley.

They spent weekends in McCloud, enjoying the casual pace of a small town and the grandeur of nature. However, with the arrival of Madeleine in their home, they wanted a different life where they spent each day together. They moved to Mount Shasta and became the proprietors of Geppetto’s Toy Shop.

At Geppetto’s, small stuffed animals peer from cubbyholes and rows of dolls watch the door with eager eyes for their owners to find them. A montage of primary colors brightens the room as plastic blocks wait for builders. Rows of cars are parked waiting for a child to supply the engine noise. The North State’s largest collection of jigsaw puzzles remains jumbled, looking for young and old hands to rearrange them into pictures. Play stations give children a chance to touch toys. A wooden train set beckons young engineers.

In the summer, the store sees a stream of tourists seeking water toys, rockets, hula-hoops and games for around the campfire. Winter draws the locals, selecting presents for birthday parties and Christmas, as well as fulfilling the dreams of their children. Each family member does his or her part. “Madeleine is our product tester and customer greeter,” Paul says.

The Reichows give back to the community. “We had one little girl who loved the store. She died last November of kidney failure,” Summer says. “We put a Christmas tree in her honor and donated the toys put under the tree to Toys for Tots. The community response was tremendous. Its something we are planning to do again this year.”

The store carries educational toys, with the Ant Farm and Butterfly Bungalow being two of the most popular. “You send in a certificate and they send you back the ants or cocoons,” Paul says.

A large wooden airplane with red wings occupies one corner, handmade by a local craftsman. A set of shelves with toys on consignment gives a second life to the favorites passed from one family to another.

An arts and crafts section presents supplies to young artists who are creating their own masterpieces. Remote control plane enthusiasts can special order parts to complete their creations.

With Christmas coming, toys are pouring off the shelves. A choir of puppets crowd around a dowel tree as layaways gather waiting to be picked up, and giftwrap lies in rolls to create a surprise for Christmas morning.

Summer picks Madeleine up as she walks beside the tiger curled on the floor, past the stick ponies and unicorns. They stroll by the gossamer wings of fairies, weaving their way through the age-graded store.

Chess sets stand at the ready for battle. A brightly colored, wrapped package leaves the front door for a party. But the real gift is for the Reichow family who spends days together. Paul says, “The look on children’s faces, that’s the most rewarding thing for us.” •

MENDOCINO COUNTY Editors’ Picks

Rugged coastline, redwood forests and wine country collide in Mendocino County, a lovely getaway spot north of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Meander up Highway 1 and you’ll have no trouble finding a quaint place to stay, an authentic place to eat or a quaint shop to browse. This region feels like an authentic escape from day-to-day demands – so dig your toes into the sand, sip a glass of cabernet, watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean and savor the moments.

get skunked

Fast facts: • Mendocino County was one of California’s original counties, created in 1850 at the time of statehood.

The historic “Skunk Train” connects Fort Bragg with Willits, following the coastal Redwood Route, just as it did when it was built as a logging railroad more than a century ago. It’s so nicknamed because you could smell their original gas engines before you could see the train pass by.

• Mendocino County has nine Native American reservations within its borders, the fourth most of any county in the United States (after San Diego and Riverside counties in California and Sandoval County in New Mexico).

• The restaurant Cap’n Flints in Fort Bragg was portrayed as the eatery visited by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell in the movie “Overboard.”

• It’s said that Mendocino has more artists per capita than any other rural county in California – and the number of quality galleries certainly supports that assertion.

• The infamous stagecoach robber Black Bart held up coaches on the summit between Willits and Ukiah.

The lovely Wharf Masters Inn is perched atop a cliff overlooking the pier. We were touched by a modest monument that honors the inspiration, dreams and courage of 15 young men who sailed from Japan on a tiny wooden boat in 1913 to realize their vision of coming to America.

The private B. Bryan Preserve in Point Arena cares for endangered African hoofstock, including zebras and antelope. Late afternoon tours are available by reservation.

tale of a whale More than 20,000 gray whales migrate from Alaska to Mexico each year, passing right by Mendocino County. Enlist the help of a guide, or just cross your fingers and scan the sea when the time is right – it’s a sight to behold.

shop, eat, enjoy The historic Union Lumber Company Store, built in 1887 in Fort Bragg, takes up the better part of a block. It was revitalized about a decade ago for your shopping and dining enjoyment.

You don’t have to look very hard to find a perfect picnic spot in Mendocino County.

We were enchanted by Russian Gulch State Park, which features a 36-foot waterfall, a blowhole, bike and horseback riding trails, and much more. The camping area is open from April through October.

don’t forget the beer Ukiah Brewing Company (in The Marks Building, est. 1889) and the Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville are among the many breweries sprinkled throughout Mendocino County.

Things to know about

MENDOCINO COUNTY Fort Bragg: The mild maritime climate makes Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens beautiful year round (dahlias were in bloom while we were there). Gardens, a pine forest, fern-draped canyons and bluffs blooming with colorful flowers make this a worthwhile stop. (When you’re done there, stop by Jenny’s Giant Burger for what’s arguably the best burger in town.)

Piercy Leggett Little River: If you’re looking to spoil yourself a little (and we know you deserve it), the luxurious Little River Inn just might be the ticket. Swanky rooms and spa treatments await you, as do activities such as golf, tennis, and hiking.

clay forkeeps paradise mud slingers

Nanci Johnson, the middle of three sisters, has left behind a legacy of love. Her premature death from breast cancer propelled the other two sisters to choose a purpose-driven path of living. Suzanne Watson, the elder sister, came up with an idea. Elisa Correa, the younger sister, agreed. Now Elisa spends three days every week with Suzanne and her husband, Mike, in their after-work hours, much of it creating beautiful objects out of clay. They have chosen to celebrate life together and remember Nanci by using their talents to benefit others along their journey.

In the Watsons’ studio in Paradise, the three often brainstorm and set to work on their next project. They work together on some projects. At other times, each has a unique handcrafted piece under way. Paradise Mud Slingers is the name Elisa and Suzanne’s mother and stepfather came up with for their business, and the ladies decided it fits their endeavor. They smile with good humor at the initials – PMS – which both say seems aptly applied. Mike rolls his eyes in agreement.

A glazed angel attached to an inscribed clay plaque hangs in Suzanne and Mike’s garden amidst a profusion of flowers. Nanci’s words of wisdom wrap around the angel: “Friends are our angels in life, they help us through anything.” The plaque portrays the sisters’ passion for sharing life with each other. The first of many inspirational creations, the angel plaque has been a featured item in the Crow’s Nest Trading Company Catalogue and is one of many ceramic designs Paradise Mud Slingers has used to raise money to help low-income women get mammograms. More than $2,000 was donated in 2009 to Mercy Foundation North in Red Bluff. This year, they collaborated with Crow’s Nest Trading Company and raised more than $1,000 for mammograms.

In the past they have participated in craft fairs and other fundraising events including the Ducky Derby and 2nd Saturday Art Hop in Redding, the Art & Wine Walk and Sacred Heart School’s annual auction and fundraiser in Red Bluff. Mike, an avid cyclist, has been working on trophy plaques for Chico Velo Cycling Club. Paradise Mud Slingers kicked into gear this fall and in October donated a

53 Enjoy November 2010

piece of artwork to help with the restoration of the Rose window in Red Bluff ’s Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Shasta Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation has also invited them to participate in “Art on the Wild Side,” a fundraising event slated for noon to 6 pm Nov. 6 at Win-River Casino in Redding.

The two sisters call Randy Holbrook, nationally acclaimed potter who lives and works in Red Bluff, their friend and mentor. Their interest and dabbling has taken shape as a “hobby gone wild,” says Suzanne. Now lizards, turtles, frogs and dragonflies add whimsy to their landscaping; glazed and embellished torsos hang from walls and trees along with flower-crowned faces and clay plaques inscribed with words of love and encouragement. Most of their pieces are “hand-built” slab work, but Elisa also sits at her wheel to throw cups, bowls, vases and the like.

Mike has a long history working alongside other potters, preparing glazes and overseeing the firing process. He now considers himself the support person of the trio. He also creates in clay, but occasionally lends other creative elements to Elisa and Suzanne’s pieces. He especially enjoys using the gas kiln. It fits with the more “primitive” lifestyle he and Suzanne have adopted.

Their business has grown during the past four years, and their investment in each other and in their communities has paid dividends in many lives besides their own. “Life is too, too short,” says Elisa. They don’t want to lose touch with each other like so many families do when busy lives go separate directions. Nanci’s memory pervades their efforts and motivates them to remain close.

The yard art and décor of Paradise Mud Slingers can be found in local shops and galleries in the North State, including Dairyville Nursery, the Good Earth in Red Bluff, and One Maple Winery in Lewiston. Their work is also on sale at Windrift Gallery in Newport, Ore., Sticks & Stones in Florence, Ore. and Second Street Gallery in Bandon, Ore. • www.paradisemudslingers.com.

gift giving ideas to make her smile Ready or not, here they come! The holidays, that is. And we women know that for many men, there’s no greater fear than a mall.

Strike that—a mall at Christmastime.

So let’s break it down, guys: You want to buy your lady a nice gift. Your lady wants to receive a nice gift. So here are some fabulous beauty buys that are not only guy-friendly, but will leave her feeling very merry indeed.

Contrary to popular belief, gift cards are not impersonal; women like to shop for themselves! Just be sure the reasoning behind the gift card or gift certificate is personal and thoughtful, like you really did your homework to find out what she’d like. Here are some ideas: Massages and facials. Most women love to be pampered, but they don’t often spend money (or time) on themselves, particularly for services such as those. There are wonderful estheticians and masseuses right here in the North State—ask a female friend if she has a favorite. Word of mouth is usually the best way to go. (I like Complexions Face and Body, (530) 242-0350, or Urban Retreat, (530) 247-1502.) Beware of giving gift certificates for treatments such as Botox©, waxing or laser hair removal. Even if she’s been hinting at it for years, be sure to include a sweet note telling her how much you love the way she looks as is, but you know how much she’s wanted this.

Manicures and pedicures. Being able to soak your feet and then having someone paint your toenails and decorate them with glitter or jewels? Yes, please! (Claws Upstairs, (530) 245-0969, has an amazing hour-long pedicure that really packs a punch, or try The Velvet Loft, (530) 241-4007, for those all-the-rage glitter toes.)

COSMETIC SETS. Those wonderful ones that only come out at Christmas. Don’t wait too long; most value sets are long gone by December. Those are the sets you see on cosmetics counters that include several products for a lower price than you would pay for them separately. Fragrance sets, makeup brushes, lip gloss: all are wonderful to receive. (Check out the Clinique, Lancôme, MAC and Estée Lauder counters at Macy’s. For other brands, such as Bobbi Brown or Origins, find online at Sephora.com or Nordstrom.com.)

Victoria’s Secret. Feel free to ask a salesclerk for help.

Although the specialists are well trained, you should definitely know her size. Her feelings could be hurt if the gift comes too big or too small. Or stick to items that come in small, medium and large. You don’t even necessarily have to buy lingerie; women love to snuggle up in cozy robes, pajamas and slippers—all of which are easily found during the holidays.

Shoes. Seem risky? Not if it’s a gift card for Elegant Sole in Redding or one of the hot online stores, such as Aldo (we’re loving the $90 Destine pumps) or Zappos (which offers free shipping!).

Or sign her up for one of the trendy new shoe services, where a pair of shoes, based on her style profile, comes in the mail every month.

She’ll love it! (www.shoedazzle.com) Don’t be intimidated this holiday season, embrace it! Buying gifts for your wife or girlfriend should be fun for both the giver and the receiver. But most of all, the gift should come from your heart. It really is the thought that counts. •

fishing lodge-istics

trinity county's indian creek lodge John Letton laughs and says it was a “fit of insanity” that led to his purchase of the Indian Creek Lodge, but he’s a fisherman, after all, so a little exaggeration is to be expected.

When he begins to talk about the lodge’s past, present and future, it’s obvious the clear thinking that marked his 20 years as a Trinity County Superior Court judge played a big part in the decision.

Letton has lived near the lodge since 1976 and remembers cringing from time to time as different proprietors embarked on new projects and abandoned others. “There were a couple of times when it changed hands and I thought it would be a great opportunity. Not to make money, but to tap its potential,” Letton says.

William J. Moore D.M.D.

Jon Pascarella D.D.S.

Established in 1960 as a motel for miners and men working on the Trinity Dam, the lodge has grown over the years and now boasts 15 rooms. It is situated on eight acres along the Trinity River near the mouth of Indian Creek, just off Highway 299 and about eight miles east of Weaverville.

In the summer of 2009, a rumor began circulating that a real estate developer was interested in buying the lodge, bulldozing it and building high-end homes. That prospect turned out to be a little more than Letton could bear, so with the blessing of his wife, Elena, he stepped in and bought Indian Creek Lodge.

“It’s a beautiful riverfront property, and the river is a unique blessing to this area. I’m a fisherman and I’ve always thought that this should be a real destination for fishermen as well as vacationers,” Letton says.

The problem, Letton says, was the lodge too often suffered from absentee ownership and was never maintained well enough to be viable. The most recent owners had the lodge for two years and put in a lot of hard work, but they had the misfortune of owning it during the summer of 2008 when smoke from a large wildfire blanketed much of Trinity County for months.

“It took a lot of imagination to see where we wanted to go,” Letton says, but the direction is now clear: “Our vision is a financially self-sustaining business that’s a real asset to the community. Part of this project is to keep tourist dollars in the county. A lot of people fish this river and don’t spend squat in this county. We want a business that attracts people to visit here, stay here and spend their money here.”

To make that vision a reality, the Lettons have made some serious investments of time, effort and money. They’ve updated furnishings and appliances, added Wi-Fi Internet access, painted and landscaped. The hard work is frequently reflected in guests’ comments posted at online travel sites like Yelp.com and Tripadvisor.com.

One example: “It was awesome. CLEAN, nice… really nice.

The people there could not have treated us better. They are by far the greatest hosts I have come across in a long time. I would say go stay… you will not be sorry.”

“The positive comments have been very reassuring,” Letton says. They also are reminiscent of the remarks made by another guest who visited Indian Creek Lodge in 1962. On stationery from his Rising River Ranch, the crooner (and avid fisherman) Bing Crosby wrote the proprietors to say he had a wonderful time “and can’t wait to bring Katherine.”

While happy to please all guests, Letton says one of his goals is to make the lodge a must-visit destination for fishermen, and steelhead anglers in particular. “I see this as a hub, a steelhead headquarters. We’re in the heart of some of the best drifts for steelhead in the Lower 48.”

Toward that goal, the lodge hosts monthly meetings of the Trinity River Guides Association and Letton is coordinating fly casting schools in connection with The Fly Shop in Redding and educational groups like Becoming an Outdoor-Woman.

In the near future, since a fully outfitted commercial kitchen is already in place, Letton plans to open a small café at the lodge.

When meals are not being served, Letton envisions the dining room becoming a gathering spot for anglers to tie flies, drink coffee, swap stories and stretch the truth.

Because that’s what fishermen do. •

S hasta L ake L ions C lub ’ s annual veterans day parade

Ed Greer wasn’t old enough to serve during the Vietnam War, but he watched as the older guys in his neighborhood did, and he was certainly old enough to be affected by the way those “big brother types” were treated when they returned.

“It was really hard for me,” says Greer. “I really feel for the veterans.

Without those boys, we wouldn’t have the freedoms we have in the United States and we never take time to say thank you.”

That’s not entirely accurate. For several years, Greer and fellow members of the Shasta Lake Lions Club have been taking the time to say thanks by hosting a Veterans Day parade, and the tradition continues at 10 am Saturday, Nov. 6, along Shasta Dam Boulevard.

This year’s parade, the 18th to be held in Shasta Lake, honors the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. The theme is “Veterans: The Backbone of America,” says Elmer Ellsworth, a Lions Club member.

“They’re kind of forgotten,” Ellsworth says of the Korean War vets.

61 Enjoy November 2010

“We want to especially honor them this year. We just want to give back; our community wants to give back.”

“It will be going on rain or shine,” adds Ellsworth, “and it’s the largest parade north of Fresno. We really want to invite everybody in the area to come out and enjoy the parade.”

“We’re inviting anybody who wants to support the troops,” says Greer. “If they want to spectate or have an entry, everybody is welcome.”

Young people are particularly welcome, says Redding resident Fred Salanti, head of the Missing in America Project, a national organization dedicated to interring the unclaimed cremains of veterans.

A parade honoring all veterans is an excellent educational opportunity, Salanti says. “To teach our youth, and our culture, about what veterans do and what they sacrificed, a parade is probably the easiest and happiest moment to show what we do. It’s a culmination of everybody in one place at one time for a happy event.”

Salanti and the fellow MIAP volunteers will, again, help make it a happy event by patrolling the parade route on motorcycles prior to the start to hand out rubber ducks and small flags to children. The ducks, which glow in the dark, are attired in uniforms representing all the branches of military service.

“The rules of the parade don’t allow anything to be distributed from vehicles, so we do it 10 minutes before the parade starts. We’ll have about 10 or 15 bikes there and we just criss-cross to each group of kids and hand out the rubber duckies and flags, so all the kids have a flag to wave,” Salanti says. “It’s a nice habit we’ve got.”

Another nice habit is the presence of a giant American flag, measuring 40 by 60 feet and on loan from the Dorris Lions Club. It will be carried along by a crew of about 50 Lions Club members and Central Valley High football players.

Ellsworth says another crowd favorite is the scheduled C-17 Globemaster flyover. The mammoth cargo plane, stationed at Travis Air Force Base, will make two passes above the parade route. “It’s just awesome to be there when it goes over,” Ellsworth says.

Native American veterans will be represented at the parade, says Rod Lindsay, director of Shasta Lake’s Local Indians for Education program.

Lindsay says veterans will ride on a flatbed trailer that he hopes will feature an umacha or cedar plank house. An all-native honor guard in full regalia will accompany the float.

“We’ll be honoring the Native American men and women who fought in all the wars,” says Lindsay. From the Choctaw and Navajo code talkers and Iwo Jima to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Native Americans share a proud history of military service, he adds. “It goes back to pride and being a part of a commitment to this country.”

The day starts off with a pancake breakfast from 6 to 10 am at the Shasta Lake Fire Station. Following the parade, a lunch will be served at the American Legion Hall, 4309 Vallecito St., featuring roast pork loin, potatoes and gravy and salad. Weather permitting, there will be some parade floats available for viewing at the adjacent ballpark. • Contact info: Ed Greer: (530) 356-7683 Elmer Ellsworth: (530) 941-2095

S acramento river discovery garden In 1994, a crew of volunteer gardeners descended on the Sacramento River Discovery Center to create a demonstration garden of native and drought-tolerant plants. Their creation, the Discovery Garden, is now much more than a peaceful place to while away some time. It has become a teaching tool for Red Bluff High School students studying natural resources under teacher Matt Pritchard.

For Pritchard, the garden is an ideal setting to teach propagation techniques, conservation and basic construction of garden structures.

For the students, it’s an exciting place to learn outside of the classroom and an opportunity to give back to the community. For North State residents, having students at the center translates to a rich opportunity to purchase locally propagated native and drought-tolerant plants at rock-bottom prices.

The Sacramento River Discovery Center’s annual plant sale will occur Nov. 6 from 9 am until 1 pm. The highlight of the sale is always the plants propagated from the Discovery Garden by the Red Bluff High School students. All proceeds from the students’ $5 plants will go to the Sacramento River Discovery Center for garden expenditures and expansion. Two other vendors will also offer items for sale.

Of the 30 to 40 varieties of plants available, most thrive in full sun to partial shade. All require little watering. The primary goal is “to encourage use of native and drought-tolerant plants because they use less water,” says Pritchard. “Once they’re established they’re hardy and require very little maintenance except for a little pruning. Most people want maintenance-free gardens.”

While the plants may have drought resistance in common, they still come in a wide variety of textures and flowers, with blooming times 63 Enjoy November 2010

from March to October. There will be many different salvias available, perennial shrubs, a few deciduous shrubs, native grasses and popular flowering plants like Lions Tail and Butterfly Bush. Pritchard estimates having five to 20 specimens of each variety, almost all of which can be found in the Western Garden book. A plant list is available on the Sacramento River Discovery Center’s website.

Over the years, more than 200 students from Red Bluff High and the Sacramento River Discovery Charter School have stepped in to support the Sacramento River Discovery Center and its garden. Some, like Shasta College student Joey Gomez, continue to volunteer beyond the class assignment. A 2009 graduate of Red Bluff High, Gomez volunteered over the summer at the Discovery Center’s day camps and is teaming up with friend Kenny Beik to help get ready for the plant sale. “I like to help,” says Gomez, noting that the mentorship he’s found with Pritchard “makes me want to do it even more.”

Whether your cause is drought-tolerant gardening, supporting watershed education or experiential education and service learning for young people, there will be much to celebrate at the Sacramento River Discovery Center’s plant sale. The re-used pots the plants are sold in mean more than the importance of recycling. It’s all about valuing our natural resources, among the most precious being our youth. • Native and Drought Tolerant Plant Sale Sacramento River Discovery Center 1000 Sale Lane, Red Bluff November 6, 2010, 9 am - 1 pm www.srdc.tehama.k12.ca.us • (530) 527-1196

What’s Cookin’

Story: Lana Granfors

novemberrecipe T E N D E R A N D S AV O R Y S T U F F E D C A B B A G E

Family treasures don’t just consist of antiques, photo albums and Grandpa’s fishing pole. Family recipes are treasures that many cherish. My treasure trove is filled with some real gems – southern pecan pie, pineapple upside-down cake, pot roast and chicken and dumplings, just to name a few.

With the holidays approaching, many family gatherings will be planned around meals. For your next gathering, try this recipe given to me years ago by my mother-in-law. It is a great addition to any buffet table or served up for a family dinner on a cold night. While I once considered it to be one of my biggest ‘out on a limb’ recipes, it is now a family favorite. You’ll love the combination of savory meat and rice hidden inside tender cabbage leaves. The rice in the stuffing soaks up all the delicious flavors as the cabbage rolls slowly braise in the tomato sauce. It can easily be prepared a few hours ahead and reheated.

Serve with buttered egg noodles or garlic mashed potatoes and a green salad.

Stuffed Cabbage Ingredients: For the sauce: 3 T extra virgin olive oil 1 ½ cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions) 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 (28-oz) cans crushed tomatoes and the juice ¼ cup red wine vinegar ¼ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed (more, up to ½ cup, if you want it sweeter) 1 tsp. Kosher salt and ½ tsp. ground black pepper 2 large heads Savoy or green cabbage, including outer leaves For the filling: ½ cup finely chopped yellow onions 2 celery stalks finely chopped 1 green pepper, finely chopped 1 ½ lbs ground chuck 1 lb ground pork ½ cup uncooked white rice 3 large eggs, lightly beaten ½ cup plain dried breadcrumbs 2 T chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley ¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1 tsp. Kosher salt and ½ tsp. ground black pepper to taste

Stuffed Cabbage

m

RECIPES

ST U F F E D C A B B AG E Prepping cabbage: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbages and set aside. Cut out the entire core of each cabbage with a sharp knife.

Immerse the first head of cabbage in the boiling water for a few minutes, peeling off each leaf with tongs as soon as it is pliable. Repeat for other cabbage. With each leaf, once removed from the hot pot, dip each into cool water, then set the leaves aside to drain. Depending on the size of each leaf, you will need at least 14 leaves.

Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the onions and garlic and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

For the filling: On medium heat, add 2 T oil to the skillet and cook onion, celery and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat. Combine the ground meats in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, uncooked rice, breadcrumbs, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Next add the filling’s sautéed onion mixture. Add 1 cup of the sauce to the meat mixture and mix lightly with a fork or your hands to combine. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Next, carefully cut out the center rib vein from the leaves so they will be easier to roll up. Take the reserved big outer leaves and lay them on the bottom of a Dutch oven or casserole pan; let part of the leaves hang out the sides of the pan. Place 1 cup of the sauce on the bottom leaves. Use remaining leaves to make the cabbage rolls. Put about ¹⁄³ to ½ cup of the meat filling in the center of the cabbage and starting at what was the stem end, fold the sides in and roll up the cabbage to enclose the filling.

Place half the cabbage rolls, seam sides down, over the sauce. Add more sauce and more cabbage rolls alternately until you have placed all the cabbage rolls in the pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the cabbage rolls. Fold the hanging leaves over the top to enclose and keep the moisture in.

Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cover the dish tightly with the lid or foil and bake for 1 hour or until the meat is cooked and the rice is tender. Serve hot.

occupation CO-OP FARMERS

WHAT’S IN STORE D I S C O V E R F L AV O R F U L AND NUTRITIOUS FA L L R I V E R W I L D R I C E Fertile soils, clean air, spring waters and a crisp climate create the ideal environment to grow wild rice – and Fall River Wild Rice, a small, growerowned cooperative, has capitalized on this opportunity in the beautiful Fall River Valley. Wild rice is flavorful and nutritious – the uncooked grain has more than 12 percent protein, and is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, says Walter Oilar, the cooperative’s general manager. You can find this tasty, nutritious, locally grown grain at Enjoy the Store.

Luke Booker 1 of a dozen co-op farmers and president of the board 81 Enjoy November 2010

on the store front Coming next month in the “What’s in Store” section, discover soothing and fragrant Lima Huli Lavender Farms.

This month’s feature, Fall River Wild Rice includes:

Tell us about your business. We’ve been in business since 1986.

Our product is found in stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and on the East Coast. We sell to Trader Joe’s, too, which is nationwide. Most of our business is done through grocery stores. We do sell our products online, but that’s only about 1 percent of our sales.

What is your philosophy? We try to be very customer service oriented. We’re a small business and we provide a good quality product. We’re a bunch of local farmers and a bunch of really good people trying to do a good job of growing wild rice for people.

What will we see at Enjoy the Store? We’ll have our 8 oz. and 10 oz. wild rice, and our 10.5 oz. fully cooked wild rice. My brother came up with the fully cooked wild rice – other companies do it now, too, but we were first to do it in a package.

How is wild rice different from white rice? Wild rice is the only native grain to North America. It’s one of the healthier grains – it has high protein and fiber content.

What are some of the more unique ways to use wild rice?

Most people use it in rice pilaf, but I encourage people to use it in salads, soups and even desserts. I put it in tacos. I also make a salad using wild rice as the base and adding tomatoes, cranberries and cheese.

look for some of these fine products to be featured in our store: 2 English Ladies Julie’s Pantry & DeLuxe Confectionery One4Fish Prints Tail Waggin’ Treats Clear Creek Soap Co.

Why is Fall River a good place to grow wild rice? If it’s to be grown naturally, it needs to get cold enough for the seed to kick into its cycle. If it’s too hot, it doesn’t work. Our climate allows it to happen naturally. • Fall River Wild Rice General manager: Walter Oilar www.frwr.com (530) 336-5222

Giving Back

Story: Jim Dyar

the cattanach family honors their son ' s memory Redding’s Shane Cattanach endured asthma for 27 years, but never let the disease dampen his spirit for life. He skydived, hunted, fished, surfed, ran a half marathon, brewed beer and graduated from California State University San Marcos with a degree in business administration. He earned two black belts in karate before age 15.

He even lived in Ireland for a year and sparred with Irish boxing champion Joe Rogan.

On Nov. 20, 2009, however, the Foothill High School graduate died from complications from asthma.

In his absence, Cattanach’s family has started a nonprofit organization to benefit young adults facing potentially lifethreatening illnesses or accidents. ShanesWay (shanesway.org) aims to honor Cattanach’s zeal for life by supporting “life moments” (dreams or projects) for men or women between the ages of 18 and 30.

The charity is similar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, explains Kari Cattanach, Shane’s mother and the chairperson of the organization.

Candidates are not required to be terminally ill to benefit from ShanesWay. “There are thousands of organizations for kids, and that’s wonderful and needed, but there are a lot of young adults who are suffering, too,” says Kari Cattanach. “We think this is a great opportunity for (that age group). We want to help these young adults do something they have always dreamed about, but didn’t know how to accomplish.”

ShanesWay has raised money by holding a poker walk/fun run in June (the second annual event is scheduled for June 2011), a Dutch Bros. Coffee benefit day and a golf tournament in Coronado.

“We really want to have opportunities for people to help that don’t cost them extra, because people don’t have a lot of money right now,” says Kari Cattanach.

Perhaps the biggest current need for the organization is finding proper candidates to benefit. The program plans to fund “life moments,” which could be just about anything – a trip, a new computer, tuition for a class.

“We’re needing someone from the North State to come forward and say, ‘Hey, I know somebody,’” says Kari Cattanach, who has contacted area and regional hospitals, doctors and churches looking for candidates.

In addition to Kari and her husband Rick, Shane Cattanach was survived by his younger brother Kyle, who along with his wife Andrea, are members of the ShanesWay board.

Still fresh with the loss of Shane, Kari Cattanach’s voice breaks when she remembers all the vibrancy of her oldest son.

“He was so full of life,” she says.

The program in Shane’s name continues on with the priority of sharing his luminous energy with others. • ShanesWay www.shanesway.org kcattanach@shanesway.org (530) 223-5877

After almost fifteen years out of the area, it was nice to return home to the North State to discover a local, professional publication.

Each month, I look forward to the various articles featuring local businesses, upcoming events and intriguing personal stories. After opening the Centre for Facial Plastic Surgery, Enjoy Magazine was the first publication I thought of to begin advertising my services available to North State residents.

I have been ecstatic with the positive patient response!

Thanks and keep up the good work!
