AMERICAN DREAM GROWNEY MOTORS’ VALUES HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. HONESTY, RESPECT AND INTEGRITY IS WHAT THEY LIVE BY.

The Growneys are loyal, trustworthy, local dignitaries. We are proud to call them our friends.

{

Cornerstone Community Bank’s purpose is the realization of dreams—from individuals buying a first home to an entrepreneur with a family legacy three generations strong.

Locally owned and funded, our purpose is to support our local dignitaries like Mike Growney. Their story begins with George Growney Sr. establishing Growney Motors in 1922.

Today, grandson Mike Growney carries the torch and does business the old-fashioned way, in a relaxed environment where regulars play cards while Mike throws the keys to a prospective buyer. This family’s dream is to honor their grandfather’s vision. Your own American dreams make our community strong. For more of the Growney Motors story, go to bankcornerstone.com

When we had questions, and we had many, they were always answered right away.

Another aspect that we really appreciated was our Realtor’s honesty.

We bought a short sale and every time we asked about a “worst case scenario” for the next step, she told it to us straight. All in all, our “Redding Realtor On The Go” made a stressful and exciting experience mostly just exciting. We always felt that we were in good hands. Thanks Again! ~ Joe and Alyson Stubbendick

summerreflections Sweet summer - we adore its farm-fresh fruits and veggies, its endless daylight hours for outdoor adventures, and music festivals galore. This is also the month that we celebrate the fabulous fathers in our lives. We’ve got plenty of tips for celebrating dear old dad (or husband, son, brother or friend!).

If the special man in your life is a music lover, consider heading north to the Summer String Summit Concert, which will sweeten the alpine air at the College of the Siskiyous with the musicians who range from young prodigies to seasoned performers. Jazz, bluegrass, Irish, pop, Indian and folk music are on the menu.

Down in Butte County, the Chico Bicycle Music Festival is a day-long celebration of music powered by audience members - they’ll take turns generating the energy to operate the sound system by pedaling a bicycle. All the benefits of a spin class, plus the added bonus of all-day music!

And while you’re in Chico - particularly if Dad enjoys a quality brew - consider taking him to the Big Room. This performing arts venue is part of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., and it’s been bringing stellar musical talent to the North State since 2000. Grab a beverage and make yourself comfortable.

If there’s an outdoorsman in your life, consider taking him to check out some of the North State’s most treasured hiking and biking trails. We’ll help you find the gems. Or perhaps he’d enjoy a kayak excursion on Whiskeytown Lake. Now in its 11th season, the ranger-led program has taken more than 20,000 people on tours.

June wouldn’t be complete without spotlighting an inspirational dad, and Dr. Michael Figueroa is a perfect fit. “Dr. Fig” learned the values of honesty, hard work and self-discipline from his own father, and has been helping conquer cancer in the North State for nearly 20 years. “When somebody fights cancer, it’s a very sobering experience. It’s a stressful, emotional time in their life,” Figueroa says. Learn about his mission to heal patients’ minds, bodies and spirits through this journey.

We also love summer because we get to re-introduce Movies in the Park! This free, familyfriendly event begins at dusk on June 8. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets to Caldwell Park. We can’t wait to see you there.

Recreation

river to ridge hiking and biking the north state ’ s trails Proof of the North State’s rich mineral history can be found in the pathways that transect our hillsides. Many of these paths —ditches that once carried water for gold mining purposes —now serve as trail systems that provide hikers and bikers access to treasures of a different kind: vistas filled with sapphire blue skies, emerald green forests and ruby red berries of the toyon.

Through an ongoing collaboration between the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, Shasta County, City of Redding, McConnell Foundation, Redding Foundation and private citizens, the extensive system boasts more than 100 miles of non-motorized trails.

The goal of the trails project is to eventually connect all of the trail systems throughout the Redding area. “It’s one of the driving forces behind everything we do,” says Brian Sindt, program officer for the McConnell Foundation. “We never just went out and built a system like it was to stand alone.” Rather, Sindt and his colleagues see the trails’ connectedness as a means to get folks out and about, where they can enjoy the many natural gems unique to our area.

Sindt’s current labor of love is the Mule Ridge Project. The trail, which follows a portion of the historic Princess Mining continued on page 16 June 2012 Enjoy 15

Ditch, is situated between Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and Placer Road.

As outdoor enthusiasts journey to the top of Mule Mountain, they soon discover the trail offers some of the most spectacular views in the area. With an enthusiasm that is contagious, Sindt explains, “There are some pieces of the trail that are really, really nice.

You can see all the way down the Sacramento Valley. You can see the Trinity Alps and Whiskeytown Lake.”

Mule Ridge Trail will eventually connect with Whiskeytown and Swasey Recreation Area (SRA). “Once the Mule Ridge Project is connected to Swasey, you will be able to do 30-mile rides or 2-mile rides,” says Sindt.

A good portion of the trail will be less technical, making distance and time the only constraints.

Until then, riders and bikers of all skill levels can enjoy the area. “There are trails that are easy and level. You can take a fairly small child on a couple mile loop that doesn’t really climb any hills,” says Sindt.

If a more moderate excursion is what you’re looking for, The Wintu Trail follows a 2.8-mile loop with a vista point offering breathtaking views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. For those looking for a serious challenge —and serious fun — Swasey offers an appropriately named route called The Escalator. This long, steady 2.4-mile climb peaks at Mule Mountain Pass where adventurers can ride on to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area or blaze down a more rugged path to the Mule Mountain Trail which loops back to the Swasey Recreation Area.

Dr. Lang Dayton, a member of the advocacy group Trails and Bikeways Council of Greater Redding, says the Clear Creek Greenway is a good option for families with small children who tend to be fascinated with water and animals. “There are observation posts where you can see the salmon,” he says. Though salmon spectating is best between October and December, folks can stop by the viewing platform

“It’s really coming to fruition. When all is said and done, it will be a really unique system.” during the remainder of the year where they will find interpretive displays describing the salmon life cycle, Native American culture, plants and wildlife, and information about the area’s mining history.

Because of its close proximity to town, Dayton recommends the Westside Trail — an area that inspired him to become involved with trail development more than 20 years ago. Although urban, Westside Trail is not lacking in wild elements, including the occasional teenager ripping through the downhill section. Single-track routes interspersed with wider segments meander through oak and pine woodland, cross Salt Creek and link several miles of West continued on page 18

Redding. Like most of the Redding trails, vista points along the way give hikers and bikers a good reason to stop and enjoy the mountain, city and river views.

Along with Sindt and other local visionaries, Dayton shares anticipation for the trails’ unification. The Sacramento River Trail will be a hub with trails reaching out like the spokes on a bicycle wheel, offering virtually limitless exploration opportunities.

“It’s really coming to fruition. When all is said and done, it will be a really unique system,” he says.

Not so long ago, settlers found their livelihoods in the hills, creeks and river that sustain people’s desire to connect with nature. The inheritance they left may not be golden, but what they have passed down is a trail legacy that inspires, enchants and continues to grow. • For more information and maps: www.healthyshasta.org www.reddingtrails.com www.reddingtrailsandbikeways.org

Music

play loud the p u lsators at mosq u ito serenade in j u ne Rooted in the Sonoma County Wine Country, the Pulsators are a five-piece band, who continue to mine the rich vein of New Orleans funk and soul, Chicago blues, rocksteady reggae and roots rock ‘n’ roll into their mix.

Their live shows, like the one coming up at the Mosquito Serenade in Anderson on June 20, bring down the house with an explosive rock party.

With drummer Johnny Campbell as the band’s frontman and lead vocalist, the quintet brings a “play loud, sing louder” style to the stage. “The band likes to call it California Gumbo,” Campbell says. “I’ve always been kind of a music history buff, early blues and all that stuff, so I think The Pulsators kind of grew out of all the music both myself and the band members brought to the plate.” continued on page 22

“When I finally started singing, it was not because I wanted to, but because this guy in one of the bands I was in, insisted that all of us sing.

I’m actually grateful to him for that.” johnny campbell

June 2012 Enjoy 21

Backing Campbell are saxophonist Rick Clifford and trumpeter Glen Sullivan, who harmonize, duet and solo on stage, while guitarist Douglas Ian McKenzie and bassist Michael “Mick” Whittington keep the grooves in steady rhythm.

The band has collaborated with New Orleans music pioneer Art Neville, who signed a publishing deal with Campbell’s songs and lent his talent to the CD, “Here’s To You.” Art, commonly known as “Poppa Funk,” plays the keyboards, and has recorded standards like “Mardi Gras Mambo” and “All These Things,” recording and touring with his brothers and his offshoot group the Funky Meters.

He invited the Pulsators to open for the Funky Meters in New Orleans; they later played numerous shows with the Neville Brothers in Louisiana and California, including the House of Blues in Hollywood and the Fillmore in San Francisco.

Neville says, “I’ve known Johnny and these cats for a long time.

They sound as good as me! I like Johnny’s songwriting. I could never figure out why they weren’t being played on the radio. They’re a great band.”

The Pulsators tour extensively throughout the western United States. The band has been billed with such artists as Bob Dylan, Little Feat, Chris Isaak, Al Green, Taj Mahal, The Radiators, Buddy Guy and B.B.King.

One of 10 brothers and sisters in a household with artistic parents, Campbell started life out in the Los Angeles area. He fell in love with the drums at 8 years old, and took to playing them immediately.

“I always liked Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and those kind of guys.

I discovered a lot of influences through the Rolling Stones, which was my number-one band growing up. I’d look at the credits on their albums and find names like Muddy Waters, look them up, and find out what they had contributed musically.”

His family moved to Northern California and as a teenager he started performing in bands around Petaluma. After finishing high school, songwriting became a passionate interest and he began playing guitar.

“When I finally started singing, it was not because I wanted to, but because this guy in one of the bands I was in, insisted that all of us sing. I’m actually grateful to him for that. I took a few vocal lessons over the years, but I’m pretty much self taught. And when you’re a drummer, you have to learn the techniques of breathing correctly, channeling your breath and energy in order to do the physical drumming and have enough air in you to sing at the same time.”

In 1978, Campbell formed the new wave band, The Imposters. “I was part of the early new wave, punk rock movement. It was a period of time for me that was made up of a lot of growth. It was wideopen for ideas and creativity, I met a lot of great musicians and The Imposters were lucky enough to get on a small San Francisco label called 415 Records. We played on the same gigs, with a lot of the top bands at that time, everybody from the Dead Kennedys to The Cars.

And in the early ‘80s, we got on another label called Dublab Records.

We did an album with that label and some touring, a lot of growth, discovery and fun.”

Campbell later signed on to play drums for Tiggi Clay, a new-wave group, who was signed to Motown Records.

While moonlighting with Teresa and the Brewers, he met guitarist Douglas McKenzie, developing a friendship resulting in jam sessions with former Impostor John Schuster. The seeds of the Pulsators were sewn. They recently finished their much anticipated fourth CD, “Live!” — a combination of “make your feet move” dance music, great grooves and soulful harmonies with a lot of tasteful horns. • See The Pulsators at the Mosquito Serenade Wednesday, June 20, 7 pm, KC Grove, Anderson River Park www.pulsators.com

Story: Melissa Mendonca

Business

The neighbors — though few and far between — are likely now used to the Turri Family Farms food wagon driving down the usually quiet stretch of road between Corning and the remote outpost of Flournoy in southwest Tehama County. It must surely have seemed a mirage when it first started its hauls about a year ago, with its landscape wrapping of Angus-based cows standing happily in the farm’s green fields.

The photos on the wagon were taken with a simple point-and-shoot camera by Tony and Marianne Turri and are indicative of the simple, honest, do-it-yourself attitude that is building their agricultural-based business. Rooted in a cattle ranching tradition established in 1954, Tony and Marianne are embracing the current trend in mobile food trucks as a way to promote their grassfed, nitrate-free beef products and philosophy of fresh, local eating.

The move from conventional ranching to grass-fed occurred a few years ago. “We just wanted continued on page 28

“The idea is that when someone buys a burger or sandwich, we can tell them where everything came from and it’s all locally sourced.” to downsize and be more in control of our product,” says Marianne.

“We wanted to make sure our customer had a very positive eating experience without worrying about what was in their food,” adds Tony.

The couple now have two distinct endeavors: processing their own grass-fed beef to sell meat directly to consumers, and the food truck, which allows them to showcase their meat products in the form of sandwiches, hot dogs and burgers. At the Thursday Night Farmers’ Market in Chico, their meat is sold in the certified section and the prepared food is sold from the truck in another section.

Turri meat is processed at Taylor’s Sausage in southern Oregon, where the pastrami, hot dogs, Polish dogs and roast beef are all created nitrate-free and without preservatives. The results are hot dogs that “last five days, not five years,” says Marianne. They use local honey sourced at the ranch to sweeten the pastrami brine rather than brown sugar. Steaks and ground beef are also sold, the latter of which goes into the burgers the food truck is becoming known for.

“They’re made out of meat, they aren’t made out of parts,” says Tony of their hot dogs. “They’re priced accordingly, but it’s a small price to pay to know what you’re eating.”

Of the food truck, Marianne says, “The idea is that when someone buys a burger or sandwich, we can tell them where everything came from and it’s all locally sourced.” They use cheese from Rumiano in Willows, bread from Tin Roof in Chico, veggies sourced locally (if not from their own garden) and honey from bees on the farm.

“It’s fun when someone comes back and says, ‘Man, that was the best burger I’ve ever tasted!’” says Tony. Some customers went years without eating red meat, but have become fans of their burgers after learning about their ranching methods.

The food truck has a motto of “Local. Real. Food,” which 28 Enjoy June 2012

Marianne takes to heart when coming up with new offerings. “I like to walk around the market and figure out what I can make for a special,” she says. She dreams of a day when Turri Family Farms can offer agritourism opportunities for visitors to “meet your meal” and notes with pride the joy she receives watching their 2-year-old daughter Alexandra wander through their garden, able to pick and safely eat anything she wants. She’d like to extend that sense of joy and wonder to anyone interested in getting to know from where their food comes.

While little Alexandra does quality assurance in her garden walks, 15-year-old son Andrew “works harder than most grown men,” according to his dad. In addition to ranching, the family raises a few dry crops and maintains a quarter-acre veggie garden for the food truck.

Customers will find the Turri Family Farms food truck on Wednesday afternoons near the post office in Corning, Wednesday evenings at the Red Bluff Farmers’ Market, Thursday afternoons at Chico Natural Foods, Thursday evenings at the farmers’ market in Chico, and Fridays in Corning in front of Hatfield’s Hardware at lunch and at the farmers’ market later in the evening.

The Turris and their truck are easy to spot. Just look for the images of content black cattle in the green field. It may seem a mirage, but it’s just Local. Real.

BANG BANG

S H A S TA R E G U L AT O R S P R E S E R V E T H E O L D W E S T Sights and sounds of the Old West come alive every month when costumed members of Shasta Regulators meet for a practice event using rifles and pistols from the late 19th-century cowboy era. This month, Hat Creek Rifle and Pistol Club, Redding Gun Club and Shasta Regulators will host “Ambush at Hat Creek” on June 15-17.

Spectators can watch amateur shooters compete for bragging rights and plaques in numerous categories.

Shasta Regulators is a regional affiliate of the international Single Action Shooting Society, Inc. with clubs all over the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and South Africa.

Regional matches throughout the year lead up to the "End of Trail, the World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting & Wild West Jubilee," which will be held June 17-24 in New Mexico. From young Buckaroos to Elder Statesmen and Grand Dames, competitors adhere to “the Spirit of the Games”: abiding by the letter and spirit of good sportsmanship, safety and specific competition requirements.

The essence of the organization is to preserve and promote the fast-growing sport of cowboy action shooting, where contestants compete with firearms typical of those used in the taming of the Old West, including single action revolvers, lever action rifles, and side-

by-side double barreled, pre-1899 pump or lever-action shotguns.

Regional competitions set up shooting stages according to an Old West script that include scenarios inspired by American history, Western movies and novels.

New members choose an identity and alias based on style and culture of the American West, spanning from the Civil War Era up to 1899. Identities may be drawn from real life or from Western movies or television series, and must be registered similar to cattle brands so there are no duplicates. Period costumes are as much a part of the experience as the shooting competitions. Rough Rider Rich (Richard Glass) of Redding built his character around Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Glass, who competes in the “B” Western category, joined Shasta Regulators 12 years ago when he discovered one of the monthly journals published by the Single Action Shooting Society . It transformed his regular target practice into a history-based hobby that he now shares with his wife Shasta Girly Girl (Sandra), and has led to an ever-growing collection of vintage and authentic reproductions of rifles and pistols, gun leathers and costumes. continued on page 32

Miner Forty-Niner and Miner’s Angel ( Jerry and Sandy Todd), also of Redding, joined three years ago. It took Todd six months to collect his start-up set of firearms, gun leathers, ammunition and basic costume. Today, his collection of firearms includes some he has rebuilt or restored, including a 1912 model 97 Winchester shotgun.

He reloads his own bullets and has created innovative bullet carrying cases that facilitate speedy loading during competitions. Now the Todds are regular thrift and antiques store hunters as they look for interesting paraphernalia to enhance their identities at bargain prices.

The Todds and Glasses often plan their vacations together to include regional events around the country, where the men compete in the shooting matches and the women enjoy “stepping back in time and seeing history come alive,” says Shasta Girly Girl. Most regional events also include formal balls and other events that encourage further reenactment of the era.

“Modoc” (Will Leslie) of Anderson is a long-time member of the Single Action Shooting Society and since returning home from college in the late 1990s, he has honed his marksmanship and broadened his itinerant range detective identity with a closet full of wilderness, firefighting and town clothes that represent life from that bygone era. His wife, Sierra Packer (Minta Leslie), is also a shooter whose alias was inspired by her experience as a frontier pack guide in her college years. “I grew up with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies,” says Modoc. He was also a voracious reader of Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey western novels. When the couple married, they dressed in vintage wedding garb that now is an integral part of their reenactment wardrobe.

Shasta Regulators is a small but growing club that meets monthly at either Redding Gun Club or Hat Creek Rifle and Pistol Club.

Though the initial investment can range from $1,200 to $5,000, Modoc says, “You do not need everything to get started in the sport.” He encourages anyone interested to join them at a monthly shoot where members often let visitors test out firearms and walk them through the different stages of shooting. Newcomers become “instant friends” and experience the congenial camaraderie that the Todds, Glasses and Leslie families share as they step back in time together. •

We want them to leave this environment feeling they got more than their money’s worth.”

Littell, general manager of the restaurant and coordinator of the Big Room, has difficulty coming up with his favorite Big Room show. While Australian guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel authored some legendary performances in Chico, Littell says the best he can do is an “eight-way tie for first and a seven-way tie for second” when ranking his favorites.

He says he’s a big blues fan, and an even bigger fan of singersongwriters like Guy Clark and Darrell Scott and acoustic musicians like Bela Fleck, Marty Stuart and Ricky Skaggs. He’s also partial to the Texas crowd of artists, like Clark, whom he describes as “powerful, hard-living men who write poetry.”• Sierra Nevada Brewery • 1075 E. 20th St., Chico For tickets: (530) 896-2198• www.sierranevada.com

“It’s always nice to have master-class musicians rave about our operation, from beginning to end,” Littell says. “Musicians who come in for the first time have always heard from others: ‘Boy, you’re going to love it.’ The musicians are always happy, and the way you can tell is in the level of performance itself. I find the level of performance I get from our artists is exceptional. The energy level is fine. They’re playing to a well-educated music crowd that respects what they’re doing. If it’s an acoustic show, you can almost hear a pin drop. In my mind, that’s the highest compliment a crowd can pay a performer.”

The Big Room’s fame has spread beyond the North State, thanks in part to two seasons of “Sierra Center Stage,” a live performance program produced by Southern Oregon Public Television and aired on PBS stations around the country.

“It was fun and a good experience for us. We learned a lot from doing the show. We personalized it, not unlike the entire Sierra Nevada approach. We made it personal and professional,” Littell says.

Each episode included backstage conversations with the artist. “We felt it was important to present the artist as a human being and not just a musician. We wanted to learn their approach to the craft and what motivated them.”

When booking acts for the Big Room, Littell leans more toward substance than style. “Our philosophy is it’s a wonderful showroom and dinner theatre, and it’s attached to a brewery where quality is first.

SOUNDS OF SUMMER THE SUMMER STRING SUMMIT CONCERT

Mixed with the alpine air come the warm waves of sound. Strings and percussion dance through the mountain campus at College of the Siskiyous with the comings of musicians composed of young prodigies and seasoned performers.

They converge on the town of Weed for a week of workshops, fellowship and to perform in an amazing evening of music: the Summer String Summit Concert.

Tashina Clarridge, six-time Grand National Fiddle Champion, works with grace and determination through her musical prowess to create a concert, which is a masterpiece. “My brother, Tristan, and I wanted to inspire an event for creating a community for the creative exploration of music,” Clarridge says. “We believed it would be amazing to collect both young and old talent, Grammy awardwinning artists from around the world.” From this, the Summer String Summit Concert was born.

The concert is the peak of a week of music. Students and instructors sharpen one another, bringing their talents together. Applicants may come to learn, but many are professionals in their own standing and arrive for the challenge of excelling and pushing themselves further in their musical abilities. “Here is a group of people in process,” Clarridge says. “Its a mixture of generations passing on their traditions to one another.”

Each year, the public is invited on Wednesday night to observe and experience a blend of jazz, bluegrass, Irish, pop, Indian and folk music. The music paints a portrait of talent. “This year is special,” Clarridge says. “Eight years of work is coming to fruition. The event has gathered a following with people driving down from northern Oregon, up from the Bay Area, and even as far as Southern California for one concert.” continued on page 40

This year, he’s one of 16 people chosen to do a workshop at the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia and he’s only 12,” Clarridge says. “A girl playing fiddle came to us at 16, absorbing the music around her. She has since applied to the Berklee College of Music and is a professional singer in New York. Her experience changed her life.”

The public is invited to attend the evening of July 11, when professionals from around the world will perform. The concert is an experiment of sound, with many stylistic variations. Last year included a harpist from Scotland and a 12-string guitarist from Sweden. “There is an exploring of connections and traditions with the coming together of textures and sounds,” Clarridge says.

Between the scaled foothills of Mt. Shasta, a mosaic of music is presented. New talent is sharpened. Musicians who could at one time not look someone in the eye learn the poise and confidence of their craft. Budding talent will write new songs, while playing and singing alongside other great performers.

“The concert will touch you,” Clarridge says. “Its like being taken on a musical journey. You will visit happy and sad places, leaving more inspired about life than when you came.” • Kenneth W. Ford Theatre 800 College Ave., Weed www.SummerStringSummit.com

In every direction, you’ll find rugged peaks. Green, lush valleys. Abundant wildlife. Peaceful agricultural settings. And some of the West’s most beautiful (and fishiest) rivers.

Siskiyou County is located in the middle of far northern California, just next to the Oregon border.

Presiding over it all is Mount Shasta - the 14,179’ strato volcano that towers 10,000 over the surrounding area - and

To Redding

provides a ready playground for climbers, skiers, hikers and sightseers of all stripes.

It’s all right here in Siskiyou County. And it’s all waiting for you - Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Come to Siskiyou County, where fun is waiting to happen.

“When I first caught sight of Mount Shasta over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since.” ~ John Muir, 1874

From his father, a retired Marine drill instructor, Michael Figueroa received the values of honesty, hard work and self-discipline; his mother emphasized the importance of reading, studying hard and getting an education.

It was his grandmother, though, who opened the door to a career in medicine.

Figueroa was only 9 when cancer claimed the life of Isabel O. Borunda, a deeply spiritual woman who laid the foundation for Figueroa’s Christian beliefs. Figueroa recalls vividly the doctor visiting his grandmother’s small home each day to administer a morphine injection. “As he was walking out one day, he looked at me and said, ‘I wish I could do more,’ and he walked out. That was the day the seed was planted.

“I can’t say on a given day I knew I was going to be a physician, but it was one of those moments you’ll never forget. It affects the way you see the world, the way you see yourself.

When it came time to decide what I was going to do for the rest of my life…I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. It was something you just felt compelled to do. It was something that was going to happen; I’m not sure I had much of a choice. And it started with my grandmother.”

Figueroa remembers getting ready to begin his junior year in high school and meeting with his counselor. “He asked what I wanted to do and I said, ‘I think I want to be a doctor.’

He almost fell out of his chair.” His parents were hard working, honest people, but not well educated. “They didn’t have a clue what college was about, or even the cost.”

When the academic counselor told Henry Figueroa that his son wanted to be a doctor—a path that would require a staggering caseload of biology, chemistry and science classes— Figueroa’s dad had just one question. “He looked at me and said, ‘You want to do that, son?’ and I said sure. He turned to the counselor and said, ‘Sign him up.’” continued on page 46

That steely resolve helped when Figueroa was a pre-med student.

“The first day was a mandatory meeting in a big lecture room and the dean of undergraduate studies comes in. He looks up and says, ‘There’re hundreds of you guys in here who want to be doctors’—and this is just the freshman class—‘and only 49 get into medical school every year. Look around; do you really think you can get in?’

“In the back of my head, I hear my dad saying, ‘You’ve got to give it a good shot. If you don’t give your best effort, you’ll never know.’ I said to myself, ‘OK, I’ve got to try hard’ and that’s what I did.”

That determination, plus a lot of hard work and possibly some divine intervention, paid off when it came time to apply for medical school. Figueroa brought the hefty application packets to church and after the Mass he asked the priest—who had officiated at his marriage to wife Debra two years earlier—to bless them.

“I ended up being accepted by three schools, which was pretty much unheard of. I often think of my grandmother up there, looking down on me, and pulling the strings. I think about her daily. She was the kind of lady, you know, once she got up in heaven, she could probably work it for me,” Figueroa says with a good-natured laugh.

His grandmother’s influence still reflects on his medical practice.

“She taught me that when you look into the eyes of someone who is poor, in need, sick or hungry, that you are really looking into the eyes of Christ. I try to keep that at the forefront of what I’m doing on a daily basis. I try to treat every patient that way. I realize that we may not have all the cures, that we may not have every single therapy that will result in a response to their disease, but that doesn’t mean we can’t care for those patients. At the end of the day, I have to feel that I cared for my patients and then hope in some way that they felt that—that they felt there were cared for, in spite of a very devastating disease.”

Figueroa attended medical school at the University of Nevada in Reno, where he met Debra, his wife of 33 years, and completed his training in oncology and hematology at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla. He has been practicing in Redding for the past 19 years. After a 10-year stint as medical director of the Mercy Regional Cancer Center, he established Solace Cancer Care in 2008.

Oncology can be a demanding practice, but Figueroa says its rewards can be significant. “When somebody fights cancer, it’s a

46 Enjoy June 2012

very sobering experience. It’s a stressful, emotional time in their life.

They’re frightened, they’re saddened, they might be in pain…it can cause stress in their family, their job, their relationship…it affects them emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially. If we can get patients through that, and have a very good success at the end, that’s a very great feeling.”

An oncologist’s role is just as vital when outcomes are not as successful, Figueroa says.

“One thing we all need to understand is, we’re all going to die. It’s just a fact, whether you believe in God or not. I’ve seen a lot of patients pass away. There’s a right way to die and a wrong way to die—there really is.

“We don’t die healed but we can die well. Part of my job is to recognize when there’s no more therapy to offer. On that one given day, when we as oncologists recognize that, we have to do the next step and prepare patients for as peaceful as death as possible. Some are afraid of pain, of dying at home, writing a will…I take that as serious as trying to cure them. Clearly part of my job, I believe, is to help patients into that.

“It’s not always easy. Oftentimes I wish I had more time, but if I can at least help them in that direction, it helps me feel that I’ve completed my job as a physician.”

Figueroa’s faith plays a role in all aspects of his practice, but it is particularly evident when dealing with end-of-life matters. “Clearly, fighting cancer is one of those problems that will bring you closer to God. Even patients I don’t discuss it with, I can sense it, I see them working toward that, and that’s a very rewarding thing to see as well.

“I had a patient one time, God rest his soul. He was the nicest man.

He looked at me one day—I’ll never forget this—he looks at me and says, ‘You know, Dr. Fig, life isn’t having God solve all your problems; life is having problems that bring you closer to God.’” • Solace Cancer Care • 310 Hartnell Ave., Redding (530) 244-2223 • www.solacecancercare.com

Business

’ S E R HE F E E B E H T R & R Q U A L I T Y M E AT s ­ KEEPs WITH TRADITION

Charlie Lefort and Jason Schlange are both meatand-potatoes guys, and it makes perfect sense. Lefort is president and majority owner of R&R Quality Meats in Redding and Schlange is its manager and minority owner.

Although neither man founded the 40-year-old Redding institution, both have made it their business to keep the old-time traditional meat shop true to its roots.

Customers get personalized service, they are treated with courtesy and professionalism and they benefit from the knowledge of trained R&R employees who can provide advice on how to prepare the meats.

“The traditions That’s the way it was when Lefort, now were handed 53, began working at R&R at age 16. And down to us, that’s the way it still was when Schlange, 31, and we will joined the workforce when he was 19. They’ve keep them alive made sure the values that guided the original and pass them owners – Roger Dawes and Robert Blagg – have remained intact. down.

That’s our strength. Shops like this are becoming a rarity.”

Their customers appreciate the approach, and are loyal.

Ernest and Irene Cabitto of McCloud have been buying meat at R&R for more than 20 years, and they stock up once a month when they come to visit their children’s families in Anderson and Cottonwood.

“It’s always been fresh, and the price is right,” says Ernest Cabitto, holding a heavy sack filled with the beef, continued on page 52 June 2012 Enjoy 51

pork, fish, lunchmeat and hot dogs the couple had carefully selected. “The service is good, and they go out of their way to help.”

Customers Jan and Ted McAlerney of Shasta Lake keep coming back for the same reasons. After stocking up on T-bone and porterhouse steaks, as well as ground meat, the McAlerneys shop at R&R every payday, adding that they find the meat to be superior and no more expensive than at the big retailer where they used to shop.

“We have people who have moved away, and they’ll make a trek back to Redding to purchase hundreds of pounds of meat to take with them to places like Los Angeles or Las Vegas,” Lefort says.

It’s not unusual to see 20 customers in

R&R at a time, but the shop has plenty of employees to keep things moving. They sell more beef than anything else, followed by pork, poultry and seafood. Schlange, an avid hunter, began offering a custom wild game processing service about five years ago, and the store recently began carrying a line of organic beef.

But beyond the obvious, customers can find just about anything they may want at R&R. Want some chitlings? Got it. How about some ground elk, young pheasant, dog bones or brisket? Yep, they’re available. There are also seasonings, sauces, cheeses and bread.

It’s difficult to pinpoint their top-selling product, but Schlange says the “rib eye is generally the best steak in the house,” and

Lefort adds that the store sells about 50,000 pounds of prime rib around the holidays.

Almost all the prime-rib customers opt to have the roast hand-rubbed with the store’s special seasoning.

Lefort and Schlange are two of the shop’s four meat-cutters, and all learned the craft at R&R. They grind beef daily and cut everything on site. No meat is pre-packaged, and purchases are wrapped in butcher paper that is freezer safe for one year.

“Our main asset is the quality of our product,” Lefort says. “We buy the best so we can sell the best.”

In all, R&R employs some 30 people, both at the shop on East Street (its original location) and the wholesale location on Eastside Road. Among them are Lefort’s wife, a son and two daughters. It’s too early to know if Schlange’s two preschool-age children will work in the family business.

“We owe our success to the hard work of all our employees,” Lefort says, “and we’re also grateful and humbled by the fact that our customers go out of their way and make the extra effort to shop with us.” • R&R Quality Meats 2105 East St., Redding (530) 241-7770 www.randrqualitymeats.net Hours: 9 am to 6 pm Monday-Saturday

WAY

�with� w o o d

C A LV I N FA R R E L L ’ S I N S P I R I N G W O O D C R E AT I O N S Around Calvin Farrell’s woodshop, collecting dust is a good thing. Sawdust, that is. Stacked high along the periphery are planks of reclaimed and vintage lumber, waiting for his muse to speak. And when it does, most folks are left grinning at the results. Take, for instance, Farrell’s latest creation, a World War II radial engine airplane fittingly named “Grapes of Wrath.”

An old, discarded wine cask and the hope of future grandkids were the inspiration that helped harness his powers of invention. You can almost hear the laughter of children as they climb in and take off for an imaginary spin in the clouds.

His clever use of the quirky, along with everyday items, gives the airplane that old-fashioned charm of yesteryear. Copper toilet floats hang beneath each wing to mimic bombs. Wine-bottle corks embellish the radial engine. Each detail reveals the creativity of a patient genius.

With an ear for good conversation and a warm sense of humor, Farrell exudes generosity. This explains why the neighborhood is populated with his birdhouses, many of which are adorned with architectural features that rival the Victorian era. And one can’t help but smile knowing these fancy dwellings are inhabited by some very pampered birdies.

Farrell is best known for his unique birdhouses, which can have up to 10 nesting chambers. When designing, he adheres to guidelines provided by the Audubon Society. For instance, his birdhouses have no perches because they invite predatory birds. You have to pay attention to function as well as aesthetics, according to Farrell. A poor design or the wrong materials can create an unsuitable habitat.

Born in the Bay Area, Farrell moved to Redding in 1975 with his family when he was 17 years old.

His artistic bent came early in life; it runs in the family. His grandfather was a contractor, so he grew up around the thick aroma of fresh-hewn lumber. In his younger years, he tinkered with his brother’s scroll saw, a curiosity that steered him down the path to woodworking.

He’s been hand-crafting projects for 25 years and has never purchased any new wood. “I often see unique items at a yard sale or funky pieces of wood and think what I can make of it.” He looks for salvage pieces like rusty license plates to use for shingles, or vintage doorknobs to make coat racks. What he continued on page 56 June 2012 Enjoy 55

relishes most, though,is giving an old piece of wood new life. “It might be old on the outside, but when I sand it and cut it open, it’s brand new again.”

Calvin and his wife, Brenda, moved to Palo Cedro in 1992. They wanted to raise their two children in a country setting. Now that they are empty nesters, except for their two dogs, Roscoe and Ramsey, he has more time to dedicate to his passion. These days you can usually find the trio in Farrell’s woodshop. “I’ll fire up the saw and here they come to keep me company.” He says nothing goes to waste because the dogs turn the fallen scraps into chew toys.

He admits Brenda is his biggest fan. She wants to keep everything continued on page 58

he makes. There’s a six-foot-high birdhouse in their family room that she won’t let him sell. He once strapped a huge birdhouse to the back of his Harley and hauled it 300 miles to his son’s friend. The young man surprised his future wife with it. “I got all sorts of funny looks on that road trip.”

It’s that kind of unflagging enthusiasm that keeps Farrell’s imagination teeming with fresh ideas. Next to the wine-barrel airplane sits another empty wine cask. He’s patiently gathering more widgets and castoffs to build a wine-barrel fire engine. And just like waiting for those future grandkids, he knows things like this can’t be rushed.

When asked how long it took to build the airplane, he has to pause and think about it. “About a year and a half,” he says, “but I can’t tell you how many hours. It was a labor of love, not accounting. I lost track of time because I enjoyed the process. I had no blueprints… made it up as I went. It took four days to design those wings.” Farrell gestures toward the Grapes of Wrath sitting nearby. “That’s where the fun is, winging it…if you’ll pardon the pun.”

And, yes, we’ll pardon the pun and expect he’ll keep on winging it. Because this junk connoisseur has proven time and again he can take rusty, rejected, or plain ol’ ignored items and make them not just appreciated, but loved again. •

you get organic at the price of conventional within one day of harvest, plus you shake the hand that feeds you

A B U N DA N T H A RV E ST — C E RT I F I E D ORGANIC DELIVERY SERVICE Certified organic products, in general, continue to cost more than their conventional counterparts. Perhaps that’s why, despite all the hype about the benefits of organic foods, the percentages of people strictly adhering to organic diets remains low, says Redding’s Mark Peterson.

About nine years ago, however, Peterson devised a way to bridge the price gap between organic and conventional —remove the hurdles between farmers and consumers.

Peterson, a native of Kingsburg (near Fresno) who hails from a long line of farmers on both sides of his family, created an organic delivery service that would go directly from producers to customers. The idea blossomed into Abundant Harvest, a now four-year-old business with hundreds of customers in far Northern California.

People who sign up with the delivery service receive produce boxes once a week, but may also add items such as raw milk, eggs, nuts, grain products, meat and poultry to their order. Customers make their selections from Abundant Harvest’s website (abundantharvestorganics.com) and Redding deliveries arrive each Tuesday between 2 and 2:30 pm at the Big Lots parking lot on Hilltop Drive. The service also has drop locations in Red Bluff, Corning, Orland and Chico.

“Our motto is you get organic at the price of conventional within one day of harvest, plus you shake the hand that feeds you,” says Peterson. “There’s no idealism to it. It works economically and mechanically. People are excited about it.”

The business has grown mostly by word of mouth, says Peterson. Across California, the delivery service has some 5,500 subscribers and 90 drop sites.

60 Enjoy June 2012

Many farmers in the program are from the Fresno area (where an assortment of crops can be grown year-round), but Northern California producers include Llano Seco free-range pork from Chico, Panorama Meats from Vina, Sierra Nevada Cheese from Willows, Mostin pears from Clear Lake and several others in the Sacramento area.

“We don’t have a marketing plan and there’s no money on advertising,” says Peterson. “We just try to do a really good job on this (produce) box – such a good job that people can’t help but tell others about it.”

Lauren Allen, one of 82 Abundant Harvest customers in Redding, says she feels good about knowing exactly where her food comes from.

“I like knowing the people involved in it,” Allen says. “I like that the produce is so fresh. Sometimes it will last in the fridge two to three weeks. I also love eating foods that are in season. I really enjoy the variety of stuff that I wouldn’t have necessarily picked off the shelf.”

A decade ago, Peterson, 43, switched to an all-organic diet because of the health and taste benefits for himself, his wife Diane and their four children. As someone who has started dozens of businesses and worked around agricultural endeavors for much of his life, he began formulating the idea for Abundant Harvest.

A big key, Peterson believed, would be convincing his older brother, Vernon, a farmer in the Kingsburg area, to convert his entire mid-sized farm to certified organic. It was a leap of faith because of the extra costs and three-year conversion process to organic. Today, Vernon Peterson and many other farmers are elated to be part of the

program.

“I’ve had five farmers tell me they wouldn’t be in business if it weren’t for (Abundant Harvest),” Peterson says. “When the farmers deliver their produce, they drive away with a check. They know how much they need to grow even before they put their seeds in the ground. There’s no waste. The whole thing is computerized. I’ve had people get misty eyed.”

Abundant Harvest’s website provides information about all of the farmers in the program. The site also shows what products are coming in the produce boxes and even provides recipes. A large box is $36.80 and a small box is $21.80. The reusable boxes typically contain between 12-18 items. The large box feeds approximately four people a week, while the small box feeds two people a week, says Peterson. Redding’s Tim Jenne and Chris Gratigny of Interface Innovations Inc. set up and maintain the website.

“Everything’s in season and people plan their meals around it,” Peterson says. “If your cucumber tastes a little bitter, you can e-mail the farmer directly. That’s how we get feedback.” • www.abundantharvestorganics.com

Hair apparent wedding day hair to fit yo u r style

We’ve all seen the over-curled, over-sprayed, promlike hairdos emerging from myriad salons; however, in the current fashion climate, there is an easier, more natural way to express yourself on your wedding day, and it doesn’t require copious amounts of Aqua Net. These are easy updos and hairstyles you can do yourself.

If you’re a bit hair-impaired, grab a bridesmaid or friend to help. If working with a hairstylist, be sure to ask for a trial run prior to the big day; that way, if you don’t like how it comes out, you have plenty of time to reconsider the style you chose.

All you have to do is Google “bridal hairstyles” and a zillion sites appear. The trick is knowing what works with your hair, as well as what will make you look the most like yourself. If you never wear your hair up, there’s no rule that says you have to, simply because it’s a wedding. Ditto if you have short hair—don’t grow it longer just for your wedding; there are plenty of gorgeous wedding hair styles for shorter lengths. Stick with who you are and you’re certain to look and feel gorgeous. Embrace your inner beauty, not inner prom queen. continued on page 64

• The Side Chignon This fresh, easy style is as modern as it is timeless: Low-swept curls recall a classic chignon, while an asymmetrical silhouette lends a flirty vibe.

How-To: Using a round brush, blow-dry hair smooth and straight, focusing on the top sections. Once dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to create waves from the ears down. Build height and volume at the crown by teasing hair gently with a fine-tooth comb. Gather hair into a low ponytail. Twist it along the nape of your neck, pinning as you go. Once you reach your ear, shape the remaining hair into curls, and pin them back over the twist.

Spritz strands in place. To add texture, gently curl and scrunch the wispy ends with your fingertips.

• The Top Knot This style puts a formal spin on the basic bun without compromising its simple elegance. Hair is swept completely away from the face, so it’s perfect for an outdoor wedding. Best part of all? You’ll always look pulled together and timeless in all of your wedding pictures.

How-To: Blow-dry hair straight. For a super-sleek look, use a flat iron to smooth out the ends. Part your hair on the side. Leaving out a piece in the front, gather it into a high ponytail. Pull the front piece back along your ear and around the ponytail. Pin it around the elastic. Divide the pony into four sections. Twist one section, wrap it around the base, and pin. Repeat the process with the remaining three sections until a bun forms. If your hair is layered and spiky pieces pop up here and there, simply pin them into place.

• The Half and Half This romantic look works best if hair is shoulder length or longer.

How-To: Use a large-barrel curling iron to create loose curls all around your head, from the ears down. Part your hair in the middle, and use your fingers to loosen and separate the curls. Starting halfway down the part, begin spritzing your roots with hairspray. Continue to the crown. To create height and volume, tease the sprayed hair with a fine-tooth comb. Use a brush to gently smooth teased hair, and gather the sides up into a half ponytail. Secure the sides with pins; use your fingers to gently shape the curls into place. End with shine spray.

More ideas: • French Twist The elegant French twist has a streamlined silhouette and lends itself to just about any headpiece. It has numerous variations: softly rolled with pieces framing the face, high and tight like a ballerina’s, or uneven with a few wisps sticking out.

• Loose Braids Braids are hot right now, so to create this romantic style, sidepart hair and then divide off two sections near the face. Frenchbraid the sections, securing each with an elastic band. Pull the rest into a loose bun and wrap the braids around it, fastening them discreetly with bobby pins. Set it with a long-lasting hair spray.

• Polished Ponytail A classic pony is the quickest way to give longer hair a pulledtogether look. Add a neat tuck and a sleek twist, and this staple takes on real sophistication.

• Fresh Flowers for Your Hair A single bold flower or a cluster of delicate blooms adds a romantic flourish to your wedding-day hairstyle. In general, use larger blossoms with simple styles, smaller ones for more intricate looks. Opt for flowers that are in season and are resilient, especially flowers to complement your own bouquet. •

An unforgettable al fresco dining experience is on the menu at Lundberg Family Farms, which will host the Sacramento Valley’s first-ever “Outstanding in the Field” event, billed as a “roving culinary adventure - literally a restaurant without walls.”

For more than a decade, Outstanding in the Field has set tables for picture-perfect meals in farms, gardens, mountain tops, sea caves and more. The purpose? To reconnect diners to the land where their food originated, and to honor those who cultivate it.

Ingredients for the meal are almost all local — sometimes, they’re harvested within arm’s reach of where guests are seated. Local chefs prepare the decadent meal, and the farmers, producers, culinary artists and diners gather together to enjoy it. The June 23 event is slated for the lush rice fields at Lundberg Family Farms, a family-owned and operated rice company in tiny Richvale, about 20 miles south of Chico. “Outstanding in the Field has this great historycontinued of tying together on page 68 June 2012 Enjoy 67

diners with food that’s prepared and where that food comes from,” says Todd Kluger, vice president of marketing for Lundberg Family Farms. “It’s just a wonderful way to connect farmers and food artisans with people who enjoy food.”

The mission ties in perfectly with the Lundbergs’ philosophy. They began farming in Richvale in 1937, and pioneered organic farming in 1969. To this day, their operation centers on ecological farming methods, such as reincorporating rice straw into the soil after harvest, and using cover crops rather than chemical fertilizers.

The first Outstanding in the Field event was held at

a cafe in Santa Cruz, where food went directly from the field into the kitchen. The folks who grew the food, raised the animals and caught the fish joined guests to enjoy the meal and share their stories. People were hooked.

The following year, the idea evolved as organizers decided the best place to celebrate the farmers was right on the farm. A five-course meal in an orchard tucked into the Santa Cruz mountains drew rave reviews. Today, the Outstanding in the Field organizes as many as 90 events a year - it’s crossed North America eight times, and has gone as far as Alaska and Italy.

At the event in Richvale, the Lundbergs will show

guests around a swath of land that is part of the second-largest riceproducing state in the nation. Then they’ll sit down to a meal prepared by Michael Thiemann of Ella Dining Room and Bar in Sacramento, who has traveled the world during his culinary career.

The events draw “food tourists” from all over, and Kluger said Lundberg Farms is looking forward to sharing some hospitality. If weather permits, diners will take their seats overlooking the rice paddies. “The rice will have just been planted, so the paddies will be flooded,” he says. “Some green, grass-looking rice will be coming out ... it’s a beautiful, velvety carpeting of green.”

It’s also a fantastic opportunity for people to learn more about where rice comes from, Kluger says. “Folks from the outside who haven’t been in rice country before will gain a greater appreciation for how rice is grown – the care and attention put into water quality and land preservation,” he says.

And although rice will certainly play a starring role on the menu,

along with local fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, he’s looking forward to some surprises from Chef Thiemann.

“We don’t just grow white and brown rice, but also black, red – we have 19 different varieties,” he says. “It’s a nice palette for chefs to work with.” •

History

Story and Photo: Dottie Smith

Little church

in the country

glenb u rn ch u rch in eastern shasta co u nty The grand old 127-year-old Glenburn Church in Eastern Shasta County is no ordinary church. It is the oldest church in Shasta County.

Built in 1885 on land donated by George Rock, it sits serenely in the middle of agricultural fields in the Fall River Valley, surrounded by fat, happy cattle, Soldier Mountain to the west, Mt. Shasta to the north and the historic Swasey flour mill to the northeast — all clearly visible from the church grounds.

Over the years, church attendance began to dwindle and plans were being made to sell it for the materials it contained. Local farmer and Baptist preacher William Hollenbeak purchased the church to save it from destruction.

The one-room church was originally heated with a woodstove in the center of the congregational area. That original woodstove was replaced with a stove taken from the historic Beaver Creek School, since it was almost identical to the Glenburn Church woodstove.

In 2005, that same old woodstove was removed from the church and donated to the Fort Crook Museum, where it is proudly displayed today. It was hard for the church members to let go of their warm and cozy woodstove, but the time had come to upgrade. The church is now heated by a modern forced-air gas furnace .

On the north side of the church grounds sit two additional white buildings. The building closest to the church is the school built in the 1930s to replace the first and oldest school in the Fall River Valley, which was destroyed in a fire.

72 Enjoy June 2012

The third building on the church grounds was constructed in the 1980s to provide office and classroom space. And because the congregation strives for historical integrity, the siding was specially milled using jigs that had been used at the Dana mill to form the siding for both the church and the schoolhouse years before.

This little country church wouldn’t be complete without a bell in its steeple. It’s often rung on Sunday mornings prior to the service with a rope-pull located in the sanctuary foyer. It’s also rung at the end of wedding ceremonies.

Over the years, ministers of many denominations have served the church. Current pastor Bill Myers has enthusiastically led his flock of approximately 70 families to service every Sunday for the past six years.

Today, the schoolhouse serves as the children’s church and nursery, and is also the place where food is prepared and served. Various community groups use all three buildings throughout the year.

Church service begins every Sunday morning at 11 am. To get there take Highway 299 to McArthur Road in downtown McArthur and turn left. Drive approximately four miles to the intersection of Brown and McArthur Roads. • Dottie Smith caught her history writing bug as soon as she moved here in the mid-’70s. She attended Shasta College where she studied journalism and archaeology. She later became the curator at the Shasta College Museum, taught history at Shasta College and worked on many archaeology jobs as a field assistant throughout northern California.

At the Chico Bicycle Music Festival, the only way it would be suggested to “put the pedal to the metal” would be if a particular musical genre were to hit the stage. In this case, the pedal would be from a bicycle and the metal would be the band's style.

At this day-long celebration of music and the Pedal Power Movement, the audience takes turns generating the energy needed to power a sound system that will emit beats by local musicians and visiting artist Heather Normandle, a fixture of the pedal-powered scene.

“It's kinetic energy harnessed by movement of bicycle wheels,” says Robyn DiFalco, executive director of Butte Environmental Council, which helps put on the festival that marks its fourth anniversary in Chico on Saturday, June 2.

It's not a leisure ride to generate enough electricity to power the sound system. In fact, the effort is likened to a spin class at the gym. The collective efforts of the 

audience supporting the primary volunteers, however, ensures that the show goes on and no one expends too much effort. People ride for as long as they can, be it five minutes or an hour.

Concert venues change throughout the day, with audience members cycling together from stage to stage starting at noon.

The event kicks off at Camelia Way Park on Vallombrosa Avenue and then progresses to The Meadow at Cedar Grove in lower Bidwell Park at 2 pm. At 6 pm, the festival progresses to the GRUB Cooperative on Dayton Road, where food and drink will be available.

The event is free, though organizer Sammey Zangrilli, 25, says, “If you wanted to spend any money during the day, make sure you have enough change to tip the band.” She and a group of volunteers will be dressed as golden geese to collect tips for musicians.

Zangrilli found her calling as a founder of the Chico event after experiencing the "mother festival" in 2008 in San Francisco.

Freshly graduated from Chico State University with a degree in environmental politics through the department of Interdisciplinary Studies (a major she designed herself ), she was eager to celebrate by attending the San Francisco Bicycle Music Festival.

At the time, she was gearing up to go on a long bicycle trip with Wheeled Migration to San Luis Obispo. The bicycle music festival provided inspiration and much, much more. It was here that she met members of The Ginger Ninjas, a group of cyclists/musicians who tour on cargo bikes that generate pedal-powered electricity for their concerts. Describing herself as “basically just a roadie,” Zangrilli ended up going on tour with the group in the fall of 2008, pedaling through New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.

By 2009, the Ginger Ninjas asked her to organize a festival in

76 Enjoy June 2012

Chico similar to that in San Francisco. She went “off the cuff ” to take care of permits, insurance and other requirements. “There was a very high learning curve,” she says, “but I did it. Now I have all my ducks in a row and everything just flows.”

While the first year she and friends found themselves yelling “Come join us! Come join us!” to people from the street, the festival has grown in recognition and acclaim to become something cyclists anticipate. This year a musician will perform in a live on-bike performance throughout the parade with a guitar amplified by the energy of his bicycle.

“This is one of those fun things where we can celebrate alternative modes of transportation, community and riding bicycles in the summer season,” says DiFalco. The festival emphasizes bicycle safety and encourages attendees to be prepared with helmets, reflective clothing and a light for evening riding. Bike mechanics will be available to help people get their bikes in shape.

People from across the North State are invited to park, ride and groove with other music and cycling enthusiasts at the festival. As summer kicks off, there may be no better way to usher it in than by celebrating two of its greatest activities—music festivals and bicycling. •

What’s Cookin’

Potato Poppers Summer arrives this month, and what better time for a fun family trip to the playground? When it comes to snack or lunch time, children won’t sit for long, so consider this great “grab and go” item. The kids will love them and they are perfect for those in-between trips to the swings or the teeter-totter. Grownups will love them too, and they make an easy appetizer for any party.

My friend, Karen Crawford, first introduced these at our annual Super Bowl gatherings and they are always a big hit, flying off the plate! They look great plated up and are delicious when chilled, but can be served immediately while they are still warm. Perfect bite size of deliciousness! Enjoy.

Red Potato Salad-Style Appetizer Bites INGREDIENTS: 12 small red potatoes (About 1 ½ ” in diameter)

1 tsp. salt

1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped ¼ cup chopped celery

3 T dill pickle relish

2 T mayonnaise

1 tsp. yellow mustard ¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper

2 medium green onions, thinly sliced

Red Potato Salad-Style Appetizer Bites Prep time: 30 minutes Start to Finish: 1 hour, 20 mins Makes: 24 – 36 Appetizer Bites

PREPARATION Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes in ungreased 15x20x1 inch pan. Bake 30-40 minutes until tender. Cool about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. ▶ Cut potatoes in half. With melon-baller, scoop out the insides of the potatoes into a medium bowl and leave about ¼-inch lining of the potato flesh around edges of shells. Sprinkle shells with ½ tsp. salt. To the scooped out potatoes, add the other ½ tsp salt and remaining ingredients except onions. Mix well, breaking up potatoes. Adjust seasoning as needed. Fill each potato shell with about 1 T filling mixture. Top with onions. Cover and refrigerate if you are serving chilled, or serve immediately.

Tip 1: Cut very thin slice off bottom of each potato shell so they will stand upright or can be nested in a bed of lettuce.

Tip 2: A small teaspoon can be used to scoop out the potatoes if a melonballer is not available.

Lana Granfors enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking and spending time with her friends and family– especially her grandchildren, Jillian and Garet. Currently she works at Enjoy the Store where she delights in helping people find that perfect gift.

Why do you think people enjoy your products so much?

They are fun, useful, modern and highly functional.

How do you come up with new ideas?

Our products come from some of our favorite things. We love burlap, jute, linen, birds, pillows and purses. We also love modern fabric with bold, bright colors and designs.

Sometimes the fabric is the inspiration for a new product, and sometimes it’s our families, friends and customers who give us an idea.

What are your most popular items?

Pillows! We are having great fun with the burlap pillows with vintage graphics, inspirational sayings and city names. Our heart pillows in linen with French postmarks, our owl line and our children’s and baby items are also very popular.

What is your business philosophy?

We strive to create quality handmade products that are “Made in America” and are not only useful, but unique and beautiful. We want our customers to enjoy and love their purchase.

What products do you sell at Enjoy the Store?

We sell burlap pillows, stuffed owls, baby bibs/burps, owl ornaments, barnyard balls, heart pillows and seasonal items such as bird Christmas ornaments and Easter baskets. We are expanding our burlap line to include table runners, clutches, special occasion items and iPad sleeves.

Where else can people find your products?

We have a new western line in Three O’Clock Winds Vintage Western Boutique that recently opened in the Frontier Center in Red Bluff. We also have booths at local artisan fairs, such as Roses and Rust, the Burlap Harlot Show, the Dairyville Craft Fair and ArtSmart .• www.polkadotapple.etsy.com

power of the paddle

ranger - led kayak programs at whiskeytown lake “We’ve taken more than 20,000 people on kayak tours since the program started,” says Clinton Kane, Park Ranger at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (WNRA). “It’s an opportunity for visitors to experience the lake from a different point of view. When you’re paddling on your own power, it’s an opportunity for seeing, feeling and thinking differently.”

This month, the 11th season of the wildly popular ranger-led kayak program opens its free tours to those of all ages, abilities and interests.

Kane’s passion lies in the history of the region, which he enjoys sharing on the tours he leads to Boulder Creek and to the submerged section of the Old Highway 299 north of Oak Bottom. “Once you understand what’s out here and why, you have a better appreciation

for the area,” he says. This means sometimes seeing bears and other wildlife abundant in the region.

With the donation of 10 new kayaks by the Friends of Whiskeytown, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the National Park Service restore and protect Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, this year’s program will once again be staged out of Oak Bottom where it began. (Moonlight tours and special access kayak programs continue to launch from Brandy Creek).

The park offers four main kayaking programs, which ran more than 200 tours for upwards of 3,700 participants last season. Reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance. continued on page 92

June 2012 Enjoy 91

The (Standard) Kayak Program operates two tours daily, Monday through Friday (9:30 am and 6 pm) with an additional tour at 12:30 pm Saturday and Sunday. These tours run about two hours, and children must be at least 6 years old and ride with an adult supervisor. “We talk about the history of the area, stop to explore and swim,” Kane says.

The Moonlight Kayak Tours run from July through September during each of the four to five evenings preceding the full moon. The tour is escorted by the Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 33, which on occasion has picked up paddlers that weren’t able to continue or who had fallen into the water. “They’re trained in rescue, CPR and first aid,” says Kane, “and we really appreciate them being there.”

The Junior Ranger Kayak Program offers children and their parents an opportunity to explore nature together on the water. “Although families can join us on our regular tours with kids of all ages, we make this age-specific so we can do something a little different with the parents and kids,” adds Kane. The one-hour tour serves children ages 3 to 6 on Mondays and ages 7 to 12 on Thursdays. Both tours begin at 1:30 pm and older siblings and friends are welcome to join.

The Special Access Kayak Program is designed for people with limited mobility, developmental or physical disabilities or restrictions imposed by age or illness. “They will be paired with a kayak buddy, who can offer them extra assistance,” says Kane. “It’s an opportunity for folks who would never think about going out on a kayak to join us and get that experience.” continued on page 94

Calling all photographers:

Your photo could be on the cover of an upcoming issue of the North State’s premier lifestyle magazine.

Professional and amateur photographers are invited to enter Enjoy Magazine’s cover contest. The winner’s photo will be featured on the cover of a future issue.

Between May 21 and June 22, 2012, Enjoy Magazine will be accepting photos. On June 25, a panel of judges will chose their favorite 10 photos, which will be posted on our website between June 29 and July 15. The public will be able to vote for their favorite.

The winner will have their photo on the cover of Enjoy within the next 12 months – depending on which month it will fit best. There will also be prizes for the winner and the two runners-up.

The photo must be vertical and taken in Butte, Del Norte, Glenn, Colusa, Humboldt, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta,

Siskiyou, Tehama or Trinity counties. It must also contain a human element – if it doesn’t include an entire person, it must include an eye, a hand, a foot, etc.

Photos must also be appropriate for all ages and should depict something “Enjoyable.” All photos must have been taken after January 2009. They can be emailed to photocontest@ enjoymagazine.net.

To see a gallery of previous Enjoy covers or for a complete list of contest rules, visit www. enjoymagazine.net.

Volunteer Don Hook, a 10-year program veteran, has served as a buddy several times. He says, “The very first time, I had a young man about 19 or 20 years old who had Down syndrome. He was so excited about the trip that he gave me a big hug at the end and thanked me for doing it. It was so emotional.” The two-hour tours run on Friday evenings throughout July and August.

No matter which program interests visitors, Kane says neither kayaking nor swimming experience is required; however, visitors should be comfortable with water. The tours follow the shoreline for about a mile, detouring into some of the coves where Kane says hopefully they’ll encounter wildlife before returning to the launch.

“When you come out here and become part of the environment, you appreciate it,” he says. “The old adage ‘It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey’ may sound cliché, but that’s what our program’s about. We’re facilitators of that journey and we want everyone to go home with a personal experience.” • Reservations: (530) 242-3462 Information: (530) 242-3451
