To some, a perfectly made bed is tightly tucking in the corners and fluffing the pillows. To others, a perfectly made bed is the ideal opportunity for pillow fights and slumber parties, especially when someone else makes the bed for you. Make it Rolling Hills Casino for your next sleepover, with two hotels to choose from, The Lodge Vagabond and The Ramada. Both hotels offer clean, safe, and comfortable accommodations. The Vagabond has an indoor pool, suitable for anytime of the year, while the Ramada’s pool is outdoors, perfect for those summer afternoons. So when you’re travelin’ I-5, stop in for some good old fashioned slumber party fun!

From the emergency department to ICU, the doctors, nurses and staff were absolutely outstanding!” “ I experienced first hand the quality care given to the patients at Shasta Regional and I am so proud we have the level of care they deliver in our community!”

Spring blooms with possibilities – so many people to meet and places to explore as clouds turn to sunshine and days get longer. We’ve got plenty of ideas to keep you busy this month. Hot rods, cruisers and classics rumble into town for the 21st annual Kool April Nites car show, guided this year by a special light – the spirit of Duane Tomei, an event founder who passed away in July. Children’s charities benefit from this event. Meanwhile, down in Tehama County, the historic Red Bluff Round Up draws some 1,000 revelers each year – grab your cowboy hat and join the fun.

If you’re looking for a leisurely Sunday drive, cruise west on Highway 299 to Trinity County, where delightful galleries, imaginative restaurants and outdoor adventures abound. Or explore Anselmo Vineyards in Inwood, where grapes are harvested by hand and resident cattle and sheep are trained to graze the vineyard without nibbling a single precious grape. The tasting room resides in a century-old ranch house, and the restaurant’s high culinary standards enchant customers. Some incredible innovations are happening right here in the North State. Have you ever dreamed of swimming with the dolphins? Perhaps the Innespace Seabreacher is the nextbest thing. This personal watercraft can roll 360 degrees, plunge underwater and then leap clear of the surface. The hobby of Innespace Marine’s Rob Innes and Dan Piazza has become a global sensation. “It’s the newest extreme sport,” says Innes. “It’s like monster trucks in the water.” Do you remember the scene in “The Lion King” when Rafiki lifts the newborn cub Simba to the sky so all of Pride Rock can meet him? That was the handiwork of Red Bluff’s own Russ Edmonds, an acclaimed animator who has brought life to many Disney favorites over the past 20 years. He tells us about his fascinating career. Meanwhile, Jerry Nelson Stuart imparts his wisdom about turning points, drawing new vision from dreams that didn’t materialize. The injured athlete became an inspired artist whose portfolio resonates with creative techniques he applies to walls, ceilings, woodwork and canvasses. “I am continually educating myself,” says Stuart, one of a handful of fresco painters in the United States. It’s still a little chilly to hit the lake in earnest, but that doesn’t stop Mike Strahle from embracing his passion. From the stern of his Sonar racer, in an adaptive seat that he designed, the founder of Wounded Warrior Sailing channels the wind to explore wondrous Whiskeytown Lake – quite a feat for a man paralyzed from the neck down. Strahle defines success as “waking up with a desire, something to look forward to each day.” And that is our wish for you. Enjoy!

Kool April Nites, April 14-18 www.koolaprilnites.com
SHININGBRIGHT
D UA N E TO M E I ' S M E M O RY L I G H T S U P KO O L A P R I L N I T E S With any luck, the sun will be shining on the thousands of folks who will gather to admire the 2,000 or so hot rods, cruisers and classics featured at the 21st annual Kool April Nites car show. Rain or shine, though, there will be a special light illuminating the Redding Convention Center grounds this year. The spirit of Duane Tomei, one of the Kool April Nites founders and its guiding force for the past 20 years, will surely be shining bright. To honor Tomei, who succumbed to cancer in July, the show’s directors have created an award titled “Spirit of Kool April Nites in Memory of Duane Tomei” that will be presented annually to one lucky car owner. “Because that’s what he was—the spirit of Kool April Nites,” says Vicki Cook, who stepped in as president of the Kool April Nites board of directors prior to last year’s show. “He loved that show, he loved the cars, he loved the people and he loved doing things for the community. All those things came together for him.” While the cars are the stars at Kool April Nites, the show has always been about supporting local children-oriented charities. Since its inception in 1990, when some 239 car buffs turned out to show off their rides, Kool April Nites’ directors have donated more than $300,000 to Turtle Bay Exploration Park and other nonprofit organizations. Tomei had a large part in ensuring the show helped others, and that was evident to everyone he worked with, including John Johnson, the Redding Convention Center’s operations manager. “Deep in his heart, he was completely committed to the event itself. And not just showing cars, but he believed in the charities they support and he wanted it to do well so they could benefit,” Johnson says. 17 Enjoy April 2010
“Duane loved Redding and he was very proud of his community. He took care of very minute details because he wanted everything to be smooth and as comfortable as possible,” Johnson says. “To work that well and that hard shows me he was motivated beyond the show itself. He was a very can-do guy. He made sure everything got done.” “Everything gave him satisfaction,” remembers Rod Tessier, a Kool April Nites board member who worked with Tomei since the first show. “He would help with the inside show, the entertainment inside the big tent. He was right in there when there were problems and got ‘em handled. It’s hard to describe how much Duane did for the show. People will be benefitting from his work for years to come.” “There were lots of aspects of the show that made him fulfilled and happy,” says Barbara Harrison, a longtime Kool April Nites volunteer who coordinates the indoor “Dreamworks” display of classic cars. “Sunshine was one aspect. We always prayed for sun. But really, I think he constantly remembered how it all started and how we got this thing going. “It was just the six of them (Tomei, Bucky Bucklin, Randy Harrison, Louis and Bud Milligan and Tom Parker) and they just decided to do this. And how it’s all grown. It brings in the most tourism of anything; the restaurants are happy, the motels are happy. They just did one heck of a job making this thing grow.” And Kool April Nites certainly has grown. Now a five-day affair, it kicks off with a Wednesday night party for sponsors and registrants, continues on Thursday with a Show-N-Shine and dance music by the Hot Rods Band and rolls into the popular Friday night cruise. Saturday’s car show includes a pancake breakfast by the Asphalt Cowboys and a concert by Doubletake. The week wraps up Sunday with an awards ceremony. •

I M A G I N AT I O N C O M E S T O L I F E AT E D M O N D S S T U D I O S e’s one of Hollywood’s most widely recognized actors, but you won’t find the paparazzi stalking him on Oscar night. In “The Lion King,” Russ Edmonds brought the newborn cub Simba to life, when Rafiki lifted him up for all the kingdom to see at Pride Rock. He created Prince Naveen the frog, Stella the dog and Marcel the cat in Disney’s latest blockbuster, “Princess and the Frog.” His characters are household names to anyone who has watched a Disney movie in the past 20 years. Yet unlike the movie stars who lend their voices to these characters, this acclaimed animator enjoys relative anonymity at his ranch near Red Bluff, where he and his wife, Angela, operate Edmonds Studios. Russ accumulated numerous film credits for Walt Disney Animation Studios in the 1980s and 1990s, giving life to characters that included Max in “The Little Mermaid,” horse Philippe in “Beauty and the Beast,” mother lion Sarabi in “The Lion King” and mother ape Kala in “Tarzan.” But in 2003, Disney disbanded its hand-drawing animation team and started using computer-generated animation. Fortunately for Edmonds, that philosophy was reversed for “Princess and the Frog” – “they brought the old guard back in to make this film,” Angela says. Hand drawing lends magic to a movie that simply can’t be replicated by a computer, Russ says. “It’s what made the company, from Mickey Mouse on up,” he says, adding that when he went back into the studio, “I couldn’t even find a pencil sharpener.” “Princess and the Frog” involved about 40 rough animators who have to “draw and think alike,” Russ says. “They give us a storyboard panel and say, ‘Here, we want you to make them act.’ They call us actors with a pencil.” Edmonds has to create 24 rough drawings for every second of film. “It’s definitely a lot of pencil mileage,” Angela says. His tool of choice is a turquoise Sanford 4B pencil, and he goes through “handfuls” for each film. It’s an animator’s job to ensure that every character is completely believable. Mouths must synchronize perfectly with the words they’re speaking, facial expressions must convey the right emotion, movements must be so authentic that the viewer believes the character is alive. Edmonds studied ape anatomy in depth to create the mother for “Tarzan.” When making “Beauty and the Beast,” he took horseback lessons to become familiar with how Philippe’s body should behave. “You have to understand
how they move and their bone structure,” Russ says. These equine studies led the Edmondses to the North State. Riding lessons evolved into horse ownership (“it was my angle for getting a horse,” Angela admits), and they became involved in the equestrian sport of cutting. They came up north for shows periodically, and they ended up buying 140 acres west of Red Bluff, where they built a house that’s designed especially for the work they do. The Australian ranch house is wired for computers in every room, and it’s set up so they can hang eight-foot panels on the walls when they’re in the midst of a project. A built-in drawing table sits in the middle of the great room. Eight dogs and eight horses keep them company. At Edmonds Studios, the couple does animation for other studios, individuals, small businesses and advertisers. They’re also working together to animate some of Angela’s oil paintings. Angela, who began her career as a layout artist for Walt Disney Feature Animation, is an impressionist painter of animals. “We want to see if we can make them come to life,” Russ says. They’ll show the results at the Red Bluff Art Gallery in July. Living on a rural ranch can pose some interesting challenges for moviemakers, like the time they walked out to the pasture and found a horse shaking a FedEx box full of original drawings in its teeth. “It grounds you. Life goes on,” says Angela, who, like her husband of 20 years, attended California Institute of the Arts. They frequently travel between the Red Bluff ranch and their apartment in Burbank, which Russ describes as a “computer lab with a drawing board and a bed.” Down in Southern California, he’s working on an excerpt from “Princess and the Frog” for the Oscars, and his next major project is a “Winnie the Pooh” movie featuring the original Pooh character, “when he was just a stuffed animal who had very little brain,” Russ says. “Older people are going to remember him.” The film is planned for release next spring. Reflecting on the characters that he has brought to life, Edmonds says he’s partial to Phoebus, the love interest in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” – “a lot of me came out in him” – for which he was nominated for the 1996 Annie Award for “Outstanding Individual Achievement for Animation.” He also has a soft spot in his heart for Oliver and Dodger from “Oliver and Co.,” which was his “first time to step up and be an animator.” Another favorite is sheepdog Max from “The Little Mermaid.” “We bought a sheepdog cross because of him,” Russ says. “I can’t believe all these characters have come to life,” Russ says. Adds Angela: “It’s all magic, and that’s how it’s supposed to be.” www.edmondsstudios.com ILLUSTRATIONS COURTESY OF EDMONDS STUDIOS, © DISNEY

THE RED BLUFF ROUND UP’S ANNUAL MIXER The saying in Red Bluff is that if you’re going to come to town for the historical Round Up Rodeo, you may as well come a day early for the big party. The Round Up Mixer, held the Thursday of rodeo week – this year on April 15 – is the kickoff to the community’s legendary three-day rodeo and a chance for locals and visitors alike to celebrate, rodeo style. What started as a town street party has moved indoors to the warehouse of Kit and Paul Reynolds’ Ranch and Farm Supply store on Madison Street in downtown Red Bluff. The couple bought the business in 1989 and inherited the obligation to host the much-anticipated annual event. For Kit, the mixer is a once-a-year opportunity for warehouse spring cleaning. Junk gets cleared, and hay bales and feed bags line the walls to make room for the 1,000 or so revelers, including rodeo cowboys, who stop by for the food, drink and live music. “It’s a good time,” says Reynolds. “It’s just a big fun party. Good food, good music.” For Arlo Stroing, the mixer is an opportunity to meet up with people he may see but once a year. The 84-yearold Tehama County cattleman hasn’t missed a single mixer and is instrumental in organizing the tri-tip dinner. Stroing, a lifelong Tehama County resident, represents Tehama County as a State Director at the California Cattlemen’s Association. The local chapter joins forces with the Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce to host this annual event with the Reynolds family. Vic Woolery, also a Tehama County cattleman and owner of Vic’s Branding Iron restaurant at the Shasta Livestock Auction Yard, will cater the event. Proceeds
from dinner and drink sales are shared by the Chamber of Commerce and Tehama County Cattlemen’s Association. A significant portion of the Cattlemen’s profits support youth scholarships. “It is a true hoe-down atmosphere shared by those in western wear and others in their work clothes,” says Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce president Kristen Behrens. “It is a time for our community to gather, let our hair down a bit, relax and enjoy the fruits of the efforts put forth for rodeo.” This year marks the 89th anniversary of the Red Bluff Round Up, known for attracting the top cowboys in rodeo and guests from across the western United States. The three days of rodeo are preceded by a week’s worth of activities, including a chili cook-off and car show, cowboy poetry, parade and pancake breakfast. While the Red Bluff Round Up provides entertainment for all ages, the mixer is for those 21 and older. So dust off your boots – or come as you are right after work – and enjoy a night of cowboy merriment in the ultimate kickoff to one of the west’s most venerated rodeos. • Red Bluff Round Up Mixer Reynolds Ranch and Farm Supply,501 Madison Street, Red Bluff (530) 527-1622 Thursday, April 15, 2010 Dinner/Dance $7.50, Drinks separate Ages 21 and above

KEEP IT SMALL. Nelson recommends planting a vegetable garden no larger than three-by-three feet. This gives you nine square feet of planting space – plenty of room, but not so much that you can’t handle the inevitable weeds. If you want a more back-friendly garden, build a raised bed. Use any scrap lumber lying around; Waite has even used cement blocks. Nelson likes to divide her “box” into four equal squares. Three could be for your tomatoes – remember that each tomato plant can yield 10 to 15 pounds of fruit. Another square could be for herbs commonly paired with tomatoes: basil, thyme and oregano. If you want to plant a ground vine that spreads out, like cucumbers or pumpkins, create another three-by-three plot. FERTILIZE THE SOIL. “We have heavy clay soil here and you'll need to lighten it up or amend it,” says Waite. Unless you live in the Churn Creek Bottom area, Nelson says your soil is probably lacking in calcium, which can be supplied by ground oyster shells. The City of Redding’s recycled compost is available at the city’s transfer station; it costs $21.50 for a cubic yard (a truck load) or $5.25 for a 30-gallon bucket (you supply your own). This compost is sterilized.
Capturing the Sun
TIPS FOR GROWING GANGBUSTER T O M AT O E S
It’s April, but August is around the corner. That’s when we harvest the tomatoes that we plan for today. Picture walking out your back door with a basket in hand, filling it with tomatoes from your own garden. Is there anything more delicious? Your tomatoes are made even sweeter by the fact that you have planted them, nurtured them and watched them grow for several months. OK, we are PLANNING for tomatoes today, not PLANTING. Planting too early can subject your plants to the notorious late April frosts that regularly visit our North State. So if you have put off that tomato garden for lack of time, or space, or a green thumb, listen up. Leimone Waite teaches agriculture and horticulture and coordinates the Master Gardener program at Shasta College. She has a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education from the University of California at Davis, and a master’s degree in agriculture from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Rikki Nelson has been gardening for 40 years and works at Wyntour Gardens in Redding. Here’s their advice. PLAN ON PAPER FIRST. “You need to figure out where the sun is coming from and what will block it,” Waite says. Tomatoes need a lot of sun, preferably all day. Nelson likes “companion planting” alongside tomatoes with other plants, such as peppers. DON’T PLANT TOO EARLY! Native Americans who first settled here always looked at Shasta Bally: when the snow melted on the mountain, it was time to plant. May 15 is Wyntour Gardens’ recommended planting date. 23 Enjoy April 2010
INVEST IN GOOD PLANTS. Local nurseries carry a good selection of plants that do well in our area. Nelson says not to be afraid to “pull out one of the plants in a six pack and look at the root structure.” Healthy plants have strong roots that are critical for growth. The last thing you need after all your work is to have your plants die because their roots are too shallow to take the heat. KEEP IT CLOSE TO THE HOUSE. “Out of sight out of mind,” the saying goes, and it is all too true for gardens. “Cherry tomatoes are wonderful for pots,” says Nelson. You can put them next to your back door or on the patio. WATER. But not too much. Waite says, “Put your finger in the soil. If it’s wet, don’t water. If it’s dry, water.” Nelson says many people water too heavily when there is a hot spell. “Tomatoes will wilt when it’s 110 degrees. It’s a way of hiding from the blistering sun.” Watering too much at such times will cause the tomatoes to split. Waite and many others find gardening to be relaxing and therapeutic, a way to unwind from the stresses of life. Then there is the joy of your very own harvest. Your reward will be right on your plate, and in your mouth. • For help: Shasta Master Gardeners Call (530) 242-2219 or visit http://groups.ucanr.org/Shastamastergardener Shasta College horticulture students’ plant sale April 15-17, 2010 City of Redding’s Recycling Center Abernathy Street, behind Big League Dreams

BOOMTOWN BMX TRACK IN SHASTA LAKE CITY
“Boomtown is known for being one of the most fun tracks around.”
It started in the early 1970s. Children in Southern California took to racing their Schwinns and such on dirt tracks in a fashionable attempt to emulate their motocross icons of the time, so the story goes. By the middle of the decade, bicycle motocross (BMX) was a fast-growing phenomenon – the intrigue of which crept its way north where, in 1986, Boomtown was born. Located at Margaret Polf Park in Shasta Lake, Boomtown has seen seasons and riders come and go. The track was rebuilt last year to try and draw some new local April April2009 2010 Enjoy 26
interest in the sport. Nationally, the sport is growing. There are 32 national events – nine on the West Coast. Many people here don’t really know about the sport,” says track manager Dan Endecott. “Boomtown is known for being one of the most fun tracks around. (Registration) has been steady. It’s not dead, but it’s not bangin’. I want to see it bangin’. Without the competition, it’s not nearly as fun as it could be.” Local interest aside, the Boomtown team has made its name known. “When we go to nationals, our little team here is wellknown. Our jerseys are flashy and our name, ‘The Dirty 530 (pronounced “five thirty”),’ is catchy,” he says with pride. On a given race night (every Tuesday and Friday night from January through mid-December) the track sees an average of 25 to 30 racers of all ages. Some as young as 2 and others as mature as 45 don their helmets, line up at the gate and pedal until their heart rates are in sync with their pedal cadence. Unlike most organized sports where formal practice is mandatory, BMX racers use the races as their practice, Endecott says. To get started, one just needs to make the short trip to Boomtown to see if the sport looks to be suitable. If so, the requirements are minimal. A 20-inch bike. Long-sleeved shirt and pants. A full-face helmet. Closed toe shoes. Then you head out and the first race is on the house. After that, one must register with the American Bicycle Association (BMX’s governing body) for a $45 annual fee and pay per race. Tuesday nights are $5 and ribbons are awarded; Friday nights are $10 and trophies are awarded. There are no commitments, so one is free to race both nights, one night or neither night. But the 27 Enjoy April 2010
nearly yearlong season is judged on a points system, so, the more one races, the more points one stands to win. Endecott became involved in the sport not intentionally, but not quite by accident, either. “The former track manager and I were good friends. He invited me out when my son was 5, and it didn’t seem like the thing for us.” But a year later, Endecott’s son, Cale, 6 at the time, was persuaded by his neighbor to go visit the track. And thus began the addiction. Says Endecott: “Once you get into it, you’re sorta hooked. I never would have thought. BMX moms and dads are worse than soccer moms and dads.” Racers are ranked on age and level of proficiency – novice, intermediate or expert. This makes races more competitive, while allowing everybody a chance to progress without overwhelming discouragement. An 8-year-old novice would get blown away by a 12-year-old expert and have no desire to come back, Endecott says. There are some 260 ABA certified race tracks throughout the country, and racers can earn points at any track. It’s great for people who love to travel or want something to look forward to on their next trip, but locally, the majority of racers come from Shasta Lake, Red Bluff and Chico. • www.boomtownbmx.homestead.com Email: racefandan@yahoo.com

Growing up in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, Stuart learned to love the changing seasons, the movement and rich colors of nature. As an adult, he has ventured through several endeavors, including a stint in the Army before landing in Colorado where the mountains rose higher, the Aspens spoke louder and the shimmering gold of the sunrise and sunset along snowcapped peaks enlarged his artistic passion. Everywhere along his journey, he has made something beautiful, including the day room in his military barracks. His gift finally found direction in Colorado when an acquaintance asked him, “If you knew you would not fail, what would you be doing?” and then encouraged him to “do it.” Now his portfolio resonates with the creative techniques he applies to walls, ceilings, woodwork, canvasses. Denver’s Rocky Mountain News wrote about him in an article entitled “Canvassing the Joint.” The article features his unique mural paintings and faux finishes on every available wall space, creating a continuous interior work of art. He is a fine art painter with canvasses that express his heart and soul, his spiritual as well as his emotional view of life. In one notable accomplishment, Stuart painted the home of a Cherokee woman. His care for detail and Native American imagery created an environment true to the sacredness of her people’s local meeting place. Stuart learned how to make stains and paints and work with wood while still in New York from master wood finisher George Frank, renowned for his work at the Louvre in Paris where he took care of and restored wood furniture. In Colorado, Stuart started a painting business, interiors and exteriors, with extraordinary effects. From apartment buildings, he graduated to residential and custom work and all the while he experimented. Frank Satterlee, friend and chemist, tutored Stuart in wood refinishing. He’s learned to mix lime slag and marble dust to make his own plasters. He says, “I am continually educating myself.” One of a handful of fresco painters in the United States, Stuart recently completed a commission to paint a mural of St. Anthony receiving the Christ child on the ceiling of the grotto at St. Anthony Catholic Church on Pine Street in Mount Shasta. His murals, faux 31 Enjoy April 2010
finishes and Venetian gem plaster grace the walls of homes and businesses from New York to Florida, Colorado to California. As a licensed painting contractor and color consultant specializing in zero volatile organic compounds for more than 30 years, Stuart strives to discover the passion of each client, create a vision or bring theirs into focus, in an effort to capture a palette that works for them. He has taught painting techniques to contractors, homeowners’ associations, college classes and in-house at Benjamin Moore stores. He has also mentored many other painters along the way in every area of the business, from bidding to billing. His fine art paintings have been shown during 2nd Saturday Art Hop and the ArtSmart show at the Mt. Shasta Mall, both in Redding; the Red Bluff Art Gallery; and a variety of venues throughout Siskiyou County. He says of his artistic expression, “Painting is like a dance with colors and textures. Some places are tight and detailed, while others are loose and free forming. Each piece is romanced with a spirit that flows from the paint through the brush and onto the canvas, a force that comes from within and without any reservations.” His paintings can currently be viewed online at www. redbluffartgallery.com. Now a resident of Mount Shasta with his wife, Nancie de Ross, he continues to build his reputation as a painting contractor and “emerging” fine artist. He says his passion is stronger than ever. His vision is “to create a more comfortable work, play and living environment through my decorative painting and fine art work.” Together Stuart and de Ross own Renovare’ Interiors, an on-line business that complements Stuart’s painting business with periodspecific home décor. Renovare’, explains Stuart (also an ordained pastor), is the Latin word for renewal. This month, look for Jerry Nelson Stuart Painting Co. and Renovare’ Interiors at the spring Home and Garden Show on April 24-25 at the Redding Convention Center.

THE REDDING SWIM TEAM BUILDS A LEGACY
Mark Wagner and the other coaches of the Redding Swim Team want their charges to develop into healthy, well-rounded individuals. If those individuals also swim fast, it’s a bonus. The real testament to the success of the program may have more to do with a film reel than a lap pool: several former swimmers have taken the initiative to produce a fundraiser for their beloved team. They’re bringing the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour to the Cascade Theatre. The festival offers short films of skiing, snowboarding, climbing and other outdoor adventures that will make your palms sweat and heart race. The former swimmers organizing the event have arranged everything from selecting films, garnering sponsors to offset costs and promoting the event to the community. As Wagner sees it, “(Their effort) speaks volumes for our program but also speaks for what kind of kids these are. All were either (adult) swimmers or swam with me as little kids; they’ve come back and want to have a great event for the community.” The legacy they’re building upon began when the Redding Swim Team was formed in 1952. The original team practiced in Caldwell Park and has since grown to a year-round, all-ages program using pools at Shasta College, the Redding Aquatic Center and Shasta High School. The team belongs to Sierra Nevada Swimming, and its youth-based programs alone make up the largest sports organization in the North State. The Aqua Ducks, for 4- to 18-year-olds, compete against 53 other club teams. Recreational swimmers have fun and improve their skills in the Summer Ducks program, and adults participate competitively or recreationally in the Masters program. “Last year, two ladies from our Masters program went to Nationals,” recalls Wagner. “We also have a men’s team that did the Trans Tahoe Relay, where a team of five guys swim 30-minute lengths across Lake Tahoe.” 35 Enjoy April 2010
Aqua Ducks team members come from Weaverville and Mount Shasta as well as Cottonwood, Igo and everywhere in between. Participation often leads to opportunities; Wagner can list graduated swimmers who’ve swum at the University of Washington, Cal Berkeley, University of the Pacific and Arizona State, among others. One Duck is currently being recruited by the University of Santa Barbara. Since swimming recruiters only need a magic number – the swimmer’s best time – it broadens the possibilities for athletes without school teams. “It doesn’t matter if you swim with a school or a club, the underlying time is all (recruiters) care about,” Wagner says. Funding for the program comes from swimmers’ monthly dues and money raised through local competitions hosted by the Ducks throughout the year. The team also fundraises by hosting a gala dinner and holding lapathons; the efforts help compensate the five coaches and keep dues low, but the team dreams big. “The biggest challenge is always making sure we have enough funds to do everything we can,” Wagner summarizes. “My ‘want list’ is huge.” The philosophy of the team has always been “people first, swimmers second.” Wagner isn’t the type to focus on times and trophies: “I really only care about if you develop as a person. I enjoy seeing kids blossom into young adults, so when I hear about these guys that go off to college and come home and want to do something for the team, it just keeps getting better.” Tickets for the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour are available at the Cascade Theatre box office; seats are $15 in advance or $20 the day of the show, April 17.

NATURE HIKE | story: Michael O'Brien | photo: Frank Kratofil
swift falls B U R N E Y FA L L S – H O M E
Upon visiting Burney Falls, President Theodore Roosevelt pronounced them one of the wonders of the world. Located off Highway 89 northeast of Burney, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park was created around this geologic singularity. It makes for exhilarating outdoor activity and a unique opportunity to watch a rare bird that breeds in this part of the North State: The black swift. Between one and two million years ago, a lava flow filled a valley in this area, covering a natural spring. The result is a geological structure consisting of two distinct components. The first is the prototypical river-flowing-over-a-cliff waterfall, as Burney Creek cascades over the edge of the basalt wall formed from the hardened lava flow. What makes Burney Falls so unique, however, is that water from the covered spring runs out of the seam between the basalt and covered bedrock, creating a secondary fall. In nearly a straight line running the length of the cliffside, liquid gushes out under the basalt and over the bedrock, creating a roaring double-falls effect. Attracted by the unique habitat formed by the Burney Falls formation, black swift arrives from its South American wintering grounds each March. The largest swift in the United States and Canada is characterized by black overall plumage with a pale gray head and a forked tail. Swifts in general have been aptly described as appearing like “cigars with wings.” Its nests are shallow cups made of moss bound with mud. The saturation resulting from the double falls promotes a heavy growth of green colored moss and lichen that

cover the rock face, providing an ideal nesting area for this avian species. Each female lays one to two eggs per season. Both sexes feed on insects they catch on the wing. Feeding swifts put on an aerial show that is not to be missed. Falls Loop Trails provide wonderful access to both falls and flight. Ideal viewing of both is marked on the trail by a sign providing information about black swift. Find this spot and put your binoculars on a bird in flight. Follow it as it feeds in the mist and alights on the cliff face, clinging to tufts of wet moss. Some will fly into and through the falling water to reach nests on the backside. Swifts are almost constantly on the wing – their body accommodates constant flight and little to no walking. Another unique view of this aerial show is to be had on the opposite side of the falls. Accessible by crossing Fisherman’s Bridge on the southernmost end of Falls Loop Trail and hiking north about 100 yards, the trail overlooks the spot where 100 million gallons a day of creek water tumble over the 129-foot drop to the pool below. Black swift picks insects off the tops of the creek flow and dives over the side of the falls headlong into the mist below. Such cascading water and diving birds make for one of nature’s more spectacular visual experiences. • McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park (530) 335-2777 • http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=455

TRINITY COUNTY Editors’ Picks
Rugged, mountainous Trinity County covers more than 2 million acres, yet you won’t find a single traffic light or incorporated city here. What you will find, however, are unparalleled opportunities for outdoor exploration, a sophisticated collection of local art and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Summertime is prime tourism time for Trinity County, as folks flock from near and far to enjoy the lakes, rivers and mountains. The annual Fourth of July Celebration is the picture of small-town Americana.
back in time
Fast facts: • Trinity was one of California’s original counties, created in 1850.
Go back in time: Weaverville’s Historic District features a delightful assortment of Victorian homes, galleries and local businesses. Start your morning with a coffee at Mamma Llama, and you might find a gift for a special someone (that includes you). They also have live music on many nights. Peek into Olson Stoneware for handmade stoneware and ceramics that have been part of Weaverville for decades. We’ve yet to find a bad restaurant in town; we especially enjoyed the fresh, creative offerings at La Grange (check out the bank vault in back). Enjoy a nightcap across the street at the New York Saloon.
• About 13,000 people live in Trinity County, with almost a third of them residing in Weaverville, the county seat and Trinity’s largest town. • Trinity County’s first chain store appeared just a decade ago, when Burger King, Longs Drugs and Subway moved into Weaverville. • Some of California’s oldest buildings are in Trinity County. The Weaverville Drug Store has been filling prescriptions since 1852. • The county is named for the Trinity River, which was named in 1845 by Major Pierson B. Reading who thought the river emptied into Trinidad Bay. (It doesn’t.)

cultural richness Cultural richness: The Joss House State Park in Weaverville is a Taoist temple of worship, the oldest still-in-use Chinese temple in California. It was built in 1874, after previous structures had been destroyed by a series of fires. Except for electric lights and protective railings, the interior of the Joss House is the same as it was more than 100 years ago. The Lion Dance celebrates the arrival of Chinese New Year annually. Tours are available; call (530) 623-5284.

the rest of your life Trinity Alps Resort includes 90 private acres surrounded by 500,000 acres of wilderness; many of the rustic cabins were built in the 1920s. Choose an ice cream cone from the General Store and stroll across the pedestrian bridge (it spans Stuarts Fork and connects the two sides of the resort). Some amenities are available to resort guests only, but if you visit at the right time, you might happen upon a rousing square dance or compete with the resort’s guests to win big bucks at bingo. Dinner is served at the Bear’s Breath Bar and Grill.
fish on You’ve got several choices. Trinity Lake is loaded with trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and fishing is especially bountiful in spring, as bass move to the shoreline to spawn. Lewiston Lake is one of the west’s premier fly-fishing destinations – it’s not out of the question to pull a 20-inch fish out of the water. Ruth Lake in southern Trinity County is a lovely reservoir on the Mad River. And an extensive wild river and stream system lures anglers to the area for rainbow trout, bass, steelhead, catfish and more. Numerous guides are available to show you the way if you’re new to the area; try www.trinityriveradventures.com.
get out & stay awhile Much of Trinity’s land is part of the ShastaTrinity National Forest, home of the Trinity Alps. Hundreds of miles of Forest Service roads and trails wind through the forested mountains – it’s a playground full of opportunities for hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians, backpackers and more. The Trinity River hails largely from snowmelt, so it’s chilly even on scorching summer days, but viewing the county from a raft as you cascade through rock-walled canyons is exhilarating. (Warning: the water ramps up to Class 5 in some areas, so ask a pro if you’ve never rafted the Trinity before.) Pitch a tent, pull up an RV, reserve a cabin, rent a houseboat or get a room at a quaint bed and breakfast – so many ways to stay. April 2010 Enjoy 40

A scar in our nation’s history once famously known for tearing families apart is now bringing them together. Civil War reenactments have been gaining popularity since the mid 1990s, and they have found a large following in the North State. Many families who enjoy camping and learning together at the meticulously researched, period-correct shows which are often multiple day events. The last weekend in April will bring the sixth annual “Civil War Days: Clash at Dog Island” to Red Bluff ’s Samuel Ayers Park, commonly known as Dog Island Park. “It’s not about reliving the war,” says Sharon Roberts, a re-enactor from Los Molinos. “It’s about reliving an era in our nation’s history.” Roberts, who has found a niche sewing period-correct outfits for friends and family, fell in love with the process while joining her husband, Roe, on his first reenactment. As she walked through the campgrounds, people tipped their hats to her and said, “good day” and “good morning.” She was quickly taken in by those old-fashioned
45 Enjoy April 2010
manners. Today, she enjoys researching the fine details of the era’s fashion and serves in the civilian unit of the Reenactors of the American Civil War, the North State-based nonprofit group that organizes four area reenactments a year. An avid quilter, she brings an old quilt frame and quilts with her to demonstrate what some women did during the war. Mark Richardson, co-coordinator of this year’s Red Bluff event, loves historical reenacting because “instead of reading it in a book, you get to walk through it and really explore it.” Reenacting attracts people with an absolute passion for history “and a few frustrated actors, a few hams,” he laughs. The attention to detail and nuance to create accurate living history impressions makes the Friday education day for area schoolchildren a rare opportunity to watch history come to life. Around 800 students will tour the Civil War camp at Dog Island Park and be transported back to a day free from modern conveniences and language. u

I appreciate that Dr. Soloniuk and his staff make sure she understands these issues and that she can participate in her own treatment. From Vitals.com
Dog Island Park is a favorite venue for Civil War reenacting because it is easy to access from anywhere in the North State, yet a world away from the sights and sounds of modern living. The mature trees camouflage noise from nearby Interstate 5 and create a scene much like one found on a real Virginia battleground. While California was never a battle site of the Civil War, many left the state to take part, serving as soldiers or ministering to medical or spiritual needs of soldiers. Reenactors bring all of these aspects to their impressions. Roe Roberts thinks he will portray a civilian in a refugee town at this year’s event so he can show hardships suffered through displacement of war. He will carry a postage stamp from the era and a piece of brick from his great grandfather’s tomb, just as soldiers tended to carry a small memento from home as they set out to war. While Roberts grew up in California, he is from New Orleans and spent summers there with his grandfather, who talked about the Civil War as if it happened yesterday. Richardson will take on the persona of Captain Isaac L. Chadwick, a 1st Captain of Company C in the 72nd New York Infantry. About half of the New York Unit of the local nonprofit take on the personas of real soldiers, bringing a deeper sense of realism to their impressions. All are welcome at Red Bluff Civil War Days. A warning to history buffs: attendance may induce a need to don era outfits and share your knowledge through reenactment. •

Imagine a Personal Watercraft that can roll 360 degrees, plunge underwater and then leap clear of the surface. The idea behind the Innespace Seabreacher is to not only swim with the dolphins, but mimic their every move, as well. Like a strange union between a dolphin and an F-16 fighter jet, the Seabreacher is the fastest submersible watercraft out there. And thanks to co-founders Rob Innes and Dan Piazza of Innespace Marine in Redding, this “boyish” hobby has now grown into a global sensation. “It’s the newest extreme sport,” says Innes. “It’s like monster trucks in the water.” The Innespace Dolphin has appeared on the Travel Channel’s Extreme Playtime, The Today Show, Monster Garage and Ripley’s Believe it or Not, to name just a few. It even made an appearance as Dr. Evil’s Bionic Dolphin in "Austin Powers in Goldmember." So what is this hybrid, amphibious watercraft? The Innespace submersible watercraft is a recreational vessel allowing you to cruise across the top of the water like a personal watercraft, reach 12 feet in the air and then dive up to three feet underwater like a submarine. The 16-foot watercraft weighs 1,250 pounds and can reach speeds of up to 50 mph above the surface and about 20 mph when submerged, more than five
49 Enjoy April 2010
times faster than a regular recreational submersible. “Look at the abilities of a real dolphin; they can do flips and jumps and twists. They’re incredible,” says Innes. “Who wouldn’t want to copy that?” With Innes on the design end and Piazza as the machinist, the watercraft has become more than just a toy. “It’s great that we can continue to improve on the design and develop them more,” says Innes. This dynamic duo met about 13 years ago. “Dan was a trained machinist and so I hit him up to start tinkering with parts,” says Innes, originally from New Zealand. “We started building our prototype from personal watercraft.” Piazzi, who began this endeavor because his daughter loves dolphins and always wanted to swim with them, said the personal watercraft idea wasn’t their best. Hundreds of prototypes later, they realized if they added a propeller and some horsepower, they’d have a fully submersible dolphin-boat. The first model took about two years to develop, and then in 2003, they created the Innespace Dolphin, a single-seat recreational vehicle. In 2007, they upped the ante and came out with the Seabreacher, a more powerful two-seater. Today there is the Seabreacher X model which, with its 250-horsepower engine, can now even beat the dolphins at their own game. u

The pilot steers the craft with his feet, and uses the joystick-type control to do barrel rolls. It has three axes which control it, much like an airplane: Pitch, Roll and Yaw. Yaw is turning left and right, Roll is rolling the craft from side to side and Pitch is pointing the nose down and up. Basically, it has the maneuver of a submarine, the agility of a speedboat and is the only watercraft that can actually leap above the waterline. Pretty cool, right? Well, MTV thought so, too. In February, a crew from MTV took to the shores of Whiskeytown Lake and the cockpit of the Seabreacher to film a show on extreme vehicles. Tentatively called Megadrive, the show will air in 12-week segments, with Innespace featured in the last segment, slated to air in April. Also in February, another production company came to Redding to film a pilot for a show on G4 called Superhero Me, in which the host, David Price, travels the world in search of real technologies that enhance human abilities. Director David Starkey and his crew came all the way from Northern Ireland and are part of the same production company that brought us Future Weapons on the Discovery Channel. Production companies aren’t the only ones interested in Innespace. Private buyers come from all over the world to take a look at this amazing watercraft. Innes says most of the inquiries come from the Middle East and Asia. The day of the G4 shoot, two men from the Turks and Caicos Islands were in town and came along to see what their money would buy. They were certainly impressed. “It makes the water more alive when you’re underneath it,” says Innes. “It’s pure enjoyment; it’s fun to create something so awesome.” For Innes and Piazza, what began as a passion project has turned into a full-blown business with big plans for the future. “We’re building these things for the recreational market,” says Innes. “But what we want to see eventually is the whole sport grow from this, where people get their own sponsors and compete—like Motocross.” They envision races in which air mixes with water and drivers jump over obstacles and dive beneath objects in a threedimensional environment. “We see it as having huge sporting appeal,” says Innes. “It’ll get as extreme as the people are willing to take it.” • 51 Enjoy April 2010

A U T H E N T I C I N D I A N F O O D S E R V E D AT P R I YA I N D I A N C U I S I N E Priya is a Hindi word for beloved one. And that’s just how a lot of North State diners feel about Priya Indian Cuisine in Redding. The restaurant has been open just over two years, yet many can’t imagine life without it. It’s the only Indian restaurant in town. “Since we opened, we’ve had many regular customers. They tell us, ‘Don’t go anywhere,’” says Rama Loikireddy, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Krishna. “We think we’re very lucky here in Redding.” One such fan is Brandi King, who eats at Priya about once every two weeks. She was the first one to comment on an online review about the restaurant that appeared on the community website ANewsCafe.com. “They know us so well, they don’t even ask what we want,” King wrote. “To me, they are my extended family. These are the kindest people you could meet and the food is always fantastic.” King’s favorite dishes include chicken pasanda (cooked in a mild butter sauce), chicken tikka masala, mushroom mutter (mushrooms and green peas with onion sauce), and the vegetable pakoras (appetizers dipped in mildly spiced batter and deep fried). The chicken pasanda is probably Priya’s most popular dish, says Rama Loikireddy. Chicken curry is a close second. Other popular items include aloo saag (potatoes and creamy spinach), eggplant curry, okra masala and palak paneer (homemade cheese cooked with green peas, onions and spices). For diners who like to try a little bit of everything (and that ends up being a lot of people), the restaurant offers a daily all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for $7.95 ($9.95 on Saturday and Sunday), and dinner buffet on Saturday and Sunday for $13.95. “It’s very authentic Indian food and it’s different from a lot of other foods,” says Loikireddy. “We have both north and south Indian food. It’s a reasonable price and people like the variety.” American diners tend to be more familiar with northern Indian food. However, the Loikireddys are natives of Andhra Pradesh, a large state in southern India. They enjoy offering a variety of southern Indian foods such as Dosas, crepes made with lentil flour stuffed with vegetable curry and served with Sambar (a thick lentil vegetable soup). The Loikireddys have been in the United States for 20 years. They worked in restaurants in the Dallas area before moving to Berkeley, where they lived for seven years before discovering Redding. They drove through Northern California and Oregon looking for a city in which to open an Indian establishment. Redding became an easy choice because there wasn’t an Indian restaurant doing business at the time (an Indian restaurant on Hartnell
Avenue had recently closed). “We like to serve people who haven’t had Indian food,” says Loikireddy. “There’s not a big Indian community here, so our business depends on non-Indian customers. We’re still getting new customers. They’ve been very encouraging.” Rama Loikireddy’s parents help in the restaurant. The Loikireddys have two children who attend elementary school in Andhra Pradesh, where they’re learning about Indian culture while living with family members. Some of that culture is reflected at Priya. The walls are adorned with art pieces depicting village life in India. Indian music plays in the background. In addition to chicken, lamb, fish and shrimp (a variety of curry, vindaloo, tandoori and karai dishes), the menu offers a wide array of vegetarian options. “Most doctors will recommend Indian food,” Rama Loikireddy says. “We don’t use oily or fried food much. Our bread is cooked in a clay oven. It’s healthy food.” • Priya Indian Cuisine 2937 Churn Creek Road, Redding (north of the intersection with Hartnell Avenue) www.priyaindiancuisine.us

COMMUNITY | story: Teresa Wilson
let’s chit chat
P E C H A K U C H A N I G H T G I V E S LO C A L P E O P L E A C H A N C E TO S H A R E What began as a means of spicing up PowerPoint presentations has become an international grassroots movement. Pecha Kucha (pehchak-chaw), the Japanese term for chit chat, has rallied organizers from 284 cities worldwide, including Redding, to sponsor Pecha Kucha Nights in their hometown. The event was established to gather designers, artists, musicians and other enthusiasts who wish to share their talent through a PowerPoint presentation with members of the community. The unique Pecha Kucha 20-by-20 format takes a potentially dry presentation and moves it along quickly—20 slides at 20 seconds each. Using this format ensures each presentation is precisely 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Pecha Kucha Night originated in Tokyo in February 2003, where the 20-by-20 format was conceived by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. Since its inception seven years ago, Pecha Kucha Night is celebrated across the globe in more than 60 cities every month. The event has found its way to Redding with the help of organizers Larry Harris and his wife, Tish, who were inspired by a Pecha Kucha night they stumbled upon in San Luis Obispo. They made a handshake agreement to hold four Pecha Kucha Night events in Redding.
The unique concept opens the door for creative individuals of all ages and backgrounds to showcase their talent in a public forum. Presentations are not designed to solicit a sales pitch. The goal is to hold a social gathering to appreciate the work of local artisans in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Presenters are encouraged to share a subject they are passionate about and just follow the Pecha Kucha format. Presentation content varies dramatically, making every Pecha Kucha Night one of a kind. Submissions are reviewed by a committee of volunteers that selects eight to 10 presentations for each event. Pecha Kucha Redding is co-sponsored by Viva Downtown, and the first event will be held on April 16 in the Atrium at the Market Street Promenade from 7 to 9:30 pm. Refreshments are provided and the event is free. Individuals interested in presenting at Pecha Kucha Redding may find entry forms online at www.vivadowntownredding. org/PechaKucha.html. For more information, contact organizers Larry or Tish Harris at pechakucha_redding@att.net or call (530)244-6640. Visit the Pecha Kucha web site at www.pecha-kucha.org. •

T H E R E D D I N G YA C H T CLUB’S MIKE STRAHLE
An eager group of fifth-grade students from Rocky Point Charter School has gathered to learn the principles and pleasures of sailing. Divided into four boats, they call to each other with delight, clinging tightly to the port or starboard of the hull as they glide through the water. Mike Strahle sits at the stern of his Sonar racer, harnessed into an adaptive skipper seat (his own design) that allows him to steer the boat while his crew tends to the sails. Keeping the traveler line loose and the mainsheet line taut, the mainsail billowing and the jib standing out, they run with the cool winter breeze on a rare clear day in late January. Strahle has completed the dry land lesson after inquisitive minds have been challenged and the basic nautical nomenclature covered. Members of Redding Yacht Club and friends of Strahle’s Wounded Warrior Sailing organization have loaded the students into boats of varying sizes and styles for a giddy trip across Whiskeytown Lake. With warnings to “stay below the boom,” the crews tack and jibe to catch the wind. Lessons continue on the u

water as sailors demonstrate maneuvers and curious learners probe for more understanding. According to Strahle, “This is a perfect day.” Strahle defines success as “waking up with a desire, something to look forward to each day.” It seems simple enough, but his daily choice has become a conscious lifestyle after a downhill skiing accident in his early 20s smacked him hard and altered everything. His epiphany came during a breakthrough moment in rehab when he couldn’t get his food to his mouth. Just as his frustration overwhelmed him, he remembered the young man sitting next to him in the cafeteria whose mother would always have to feed him. He thought about how lucky he was instead of how limited. The moment changed his perspective. He now focuses on what he can do. Ever since, he says he “squeezes some kind of enjoyment out of every day.” The day after leaving rehab, Strahle was set up and ready to sail with help from friends and his three brothers. He grew up in the Redding area sailing with his family at Whiskeytown Lake. He decided to enjoy it again with all his energy. A quadriplegic paralyzed from the neck down, Strahle has some control of his arms but no grip in his hands. His difficulties during that sailing experience launched his first invention, called a trapseat, with the help of a local mechanic who welded a frame to support a custom seat, one of many that have evolved over time. The adaptive skipper seat, specially designed for his Sonar, keeps Strahle safely harnessed with hand grips that allow him to control the rudder. He can easily be transferred with the help of friends from the new handicapped accessible dock at Brandy Creek Marina. Strahle and his brother Carl have traveled as far as Florida, British Columbia and Australia with their boats to compete in U.S. and international sailing competitions over the past 20 years. Strahle enjoys retelling the exploits of those thrilling adventures which have 59 Enjoy April 2010
earned him several world championship trophies, including the 2002 World ISAF Sailing Championship and fourth place in the 2000 and 2004 Sonar class U.S. Paralympics trials. His most recent jaunt with Carl took them to Lake Havasu, Ariz., in November for the historic International Hobie Class Association-sanctioned North American Trapseat Championship. Wounded Warriors Sailing, doing business as the Redding Yacht Club, now occupies much of Strahle’s energies. He founded the nonprofit organization in 2007 to provide access for the community, including elders, youngsters and people with disabilities, to affordable sailing opportunities. The club provides group and private sailing lessons from basic to advanced, access to a fleet of boats for members for day sailing on Whiskeytown Lake, and also offers open membership in a family-friendly community of sailors. A family membership costs $150 for the year. Events scheduled from April through October include regattas, barbecues and kids’ camps. The organization focuses on promoting Shasta County as a travel destination for sailors with disabilities and raising funds to install accessible docks at all major North State lakes. Strahle recently earned his master’s degree in communication studies from Chico State University. He hopes to repeat the recent “perfect day” at the lake with many more groups of students and adults. As he shares his story and teaches sailing, people see his skills and passion well before they notice anything else. With the underpinning of the Wounded Warrior Sailing organization, he hopes to find opportunities to speak, write grants and encourage others to “look forward to each day.” The sailing season has arrived.

S E V E N H I L L S L A N D & C AT T L E C O M P A N Y ’ S A N S E L M O V I N E YA R D S If the 2,500-acre ranch at Seven Hills Land & Cattle Company truly is “a kitchen of six square miles,” as owner Reverge Anselmo describes, it is a most stunning galley. For Anselmo, that the land feeds the animals and grapevines, which in turn feed the people, is hallowed. Blanketing the Inwood Valley, the ranch boasts 250 head of cattle and a flock of sheep trained to graze the vineyard without nibbling a single precious grape. Having sheep “work” the vineyard keeps tractors and pesticides to a minimum, which helps make the wine worthy of its many awards. The grapes are harvested by hand and produce enough wine to satiate Anselmo, his wife, Chicken, and Anselmo Vineyards’ many loyal fans. The tasting room, which transforms into a weekend restaurant, is in the century-old ranch house. The worn pine floors offset a sparkling quartz countertop and stained glass window, and the bar is black walnut planed from a Seven Hills tree. Everything about the building strikes an impressive balance between chic sophistication and earthy authenticity. Outside, a raucous fig tree spirals out of the center of the terrace, where guests and birds can enjoy its fruits. Every aspect of the property is embraced and added to the overall experience. “Land is destiny,” Anselmo believes. “What land is, what it does, the way it relates to other features in the landscape is the destiny of the people of that land.” In 2005, Anselmo was living in Los Angeles without a project and with a very unhappy horse. “I had nothing to do except get my horse out and find us both a job, so I looked for green grass in California in the month of July.” Anselmo discovered the Inwood property, and, encouraged by the copious water (there are even several waterfalls), declared it home. He hadn’t sought property for winemaking, but there were already 10 acres of vines. “I had made wine as a kid with my father, so I knew how. I would’ve put u

(the vineyard) back into pasture and bulldozed the grapes, but knew my father – from the grave – wouldn’t let me. The only possibility was to take it all the way into the bottle; the situation forced my hand.” The land clearly knew what it was capable of, and directed its new inhabitant thusly. The Anselmos added five acres of grapes and now cultivate Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec vines. The winery opened in December 2008 and has propagated growing, devoted support. “People wear us out being complimentary,” Anselmo says. “The following has become increasingly loyal.” Chicken agrees: “Repeat customers increase almost every weekend,” she says. “We hear, ‘Oh, so-and-so brought me here last week and I want to be the first to bring my sister.’ That’s helped build the customer base, and some come every weekend.” As popularity grew, Reverge began cooking his family’s recipes in the winery’s kitchen. Word spread and calls began pouring in with customers inquiring about dining opportunities. In response to the demand, the Anselmos sought a chef compatible with their high culinary standards and unique location. Mutual friends introduced them to Chef Jon Stadille, who cooked for a party and impressed their palates. Stadille, a chef for 30 years, excited the Italian Reverge with regional Sicilian cuisine. They discovered common ground and a relationship was born. “Reverge is the passion; he’s a silent partner in the kitchen. I’m the instrument he plays, based on my expertise, and he doesn’t have to tune me up. I know what he is and what he wants.” Their reciprocity is evident in the quality of the food. Since inviting Stadille to provide dining, it’s a rare weekend without a pleasantly full house. Fortunately, those waiting for tables can explore the stables and vineyards while sipping wine, accompanied by friendly ranch dogs. For Stadille, a winery is the best possible place to chef. “It’s fantastic: Wine is food and food is wine. They go hand in hand.” The menu varies slightly from week to week; it regularly features Seven Hills beef or lamb and is always uncompromisingly excellent. Local farmers provide much of the produce and everything is used fresh. Stadille is wary of entrees requiring more than six ingredients, 63 Enjoy April 2010
explaining, “It’s nice to keep things simple and be completely satisfied with what you’ve done.” The beauty of the Anselmo Vineyards/Seven Hills experience cannot be overstated. The land is impeccably cared for, the facilities flawlessly inviting, the staff talented and friendly, and the wine and dining unlike anything else for 200 miles. It’s well worth the 30-minute drive east on Highway 44 from Redding to achieve a sense of place, a feeling of serenity and overall satisfaction. As Stadille sees it, “If you have a Sunday afternoon and you want to come, relax and drink some wine, this is the place.” The Anselmos stay involved in the community that has enthusiastically embraced them. Anselmo, a pilot, shares his helicopters with the Shasta County Sheriff ’s Department, assisting in law enforcement efforts. The winery has hosted parties for everyone from the symphony to the Rotary Club and continuously helps guests celebrate birthdays, retirements, anniversaries, weddings and life in general. The ranch is throwing a Kool April Nites party on April 15, which will be open to the public and will feature cars, prizes, and of course, amazing food. In addition to producing beef, lamb, hay, lavender, honey, wool, wine and dining, Seven Hills offers horseback riding by appointment. Riders can tour the ranch and get a sense of the land that has bewitched so many. Six miles of a working cattle ranch, winery, restaurant and future plans for expansion may sound like a daunting lifestyle for one couple and their dozen helpers, but as Anselmo sees it, “People enjoy beauty and beauty is easy to share.” Especially, it seems, when it’s predestined. • Seven Hills Land & Cattle Company/Anselmo Vineyards 28740 Inwood Road, Inwood (530) 474-5546 www.bar7h.com Tasting room open Tuesday-Sunday; hours vary Restaurant open Friday evenings, Saturdays & Sundays; reservations are encouraged

In the woods of Northern California, the echoes of the pioneers can be heard. The sound of a biting axe, the movement of feet forging a trail, the laughter of summer in a mountain stream. These sounds come not from ghosts, but the boys who form the groups of Boy Scouts, who this year celebrate their 100th anniversary as the Boy Scouts of America. In the recesses of Strawberry Valley in Mount Shasta, the scouting spirit has remained since it was first introduced 55 years ago. “Troop 97 was begun by Forest Service Rangers,” says Martin Nile, the troop’s Scoutmaster. “My dad was a young single forester then, and began to help with events. He is still part of troop activities today.” The Nile family involvement continues with Nile’s current leadership and his own two teen sons. The idea for Scouting began in South Africa during the Siege of Maefking. British officer Robert Baden-Powell noted the courage and involvement of boys in running errands and supplies during the battle, enabling British troops to survive inside the city. Upon returning to England, he wrote the best-seller, Aids to Scouting. Walking across a vacant lot one day, he discovered several boys digging a pit with sharpened poles at the bottom, attempting to catch a tiger, using instructions from his book. He concluded his book should be rewritten for youth as Scouting for Boys, and the modern Boy Scout movement was born.
“Scouting is an organization where you can learn skills you won’t learn any other place,” Nile says. This past year, Troop 97 has walked the boys through merit badges in Radio, Electricity, Trucking, Fingerprinting, Horsemanship, Cycling and Rifle. In February, they journeyed to Castle Lake and slept on the eight-foot snow pack and learned winter survival skills. “Every year, we plan and take the older scouts to the top of Mount Shasta,” Nile remarks. Scouting migrated to the United States in 1910, registering 110 million members over the past century. The adult leadership of the local organization is made of volunteers who provide oversight for all the activities. Present membership includes 2.8 million boys and 1.3 million adult leaders. The coveted award is the Eagle Scout, the highest rank. Troop 97 has produced a steady stream of Eagles, resulting in community services projects by the group, totaling in hundreds of hours. “The benches on the Lake Siskiyou trail, the nature trail by the Fish Hatchery, the original park trails and the fire pit at Shastice Park are the results of Eagle projects and our impact on the community,” Nile says. The activities prepare young men for life. “I learned to be a leader, speak up front and complete tasks in my time in Scouting, “ Nile reflects. “We recite the 12 scout laws every week and expect the boys to live by those. It is here that many of these young men begin to develop good character traits.” In honor of the 100th anniversary, the National Office has given the scouts one year to earn four retired merit badges: Signaling, Pathfinding, Tracking and Carpentry. Nile leads the boys in earning these and other badges, taking them yearly to summer camp, monthly camping trips and executing American flag retirement ceremonies. Nile and his two brothers all earned the Eagle Rank. Now his own two sons, Peter and Joshua, are in their final year of attaining the same goal. “I’ve travelled the world as a Scout, first traveling to the National Jamboree in 1973, in Idaho. The entire troop attended. Later I was able to attend the 14th World Jamboree in Norway,” Nile says. Troop 97 has hosted foreign exchange students as well, who bring the world to Mount Shasta. The forests of Northern California continue to chisel the character and lives of young men. Scouting resounds through the community, leaving a mark on the spirits of boys in a way city living cannot always give. Nile concludes, “We have camping at our doorstep. Some people drive five to six hours to be outdoors. We just have to walk out our own back door.” •

wake up GET UP AND GO WITH PERMANENT MAKEUP In this drive-through society, you can get your coffee, dry cleaning and prescriptions without ever getting out of your car. It’s no wonder, then, that many people choose to speed up their morning regimen by getting permanent makeup. Permanent cosmetics, or micropigmentation, involve a trained technician injecting iron oxide pigment into the dermis of the skin for results that last far longer than your typical eyebrow or lip pencil. Many women simply want to shave some time off of their morning routine, but there are also women who have arthritis or Parkinson’s disease and can’t hold a steady hand to apply makeup, or those who have other medical reasons for wanting permanent cosmetics. Technician Lynn Denton at Class Act Hair and Nail Salon has been doing permanent makeup for seven years. She was at a hair show and saw a woman whose own permanent makeup was exquisite. Denton’s sister was going through chemotherapy at the time and complained that makeup never stayed on, and she was looking for an alternative. Denton decided to have procedures done herself (“if you aren’t wearing it, you can’t promote it”), then do her sister’s permanent makeup as well. In fact, breast cancer survivors can have pigment injected into their areolas once they’ve had breast reconstruction to give a more natural appearance to the breasts. Denton says that after the initial consultation, she spends a “considerable amount of time” creating a template and drawing on the client to ensure the area looks the way the client wants it. Her most popular procedure is eyebrows, followed by eyeliner and lips. University Preparatory School secretary Debbie Lattin says that she is thrilled she had her eyeliner done several years ago. She won the procedure in a drawing and says if she could afford it, she would have her brows and lips done, too. “I’m one of those people who could never put on eyeliner very well. Now I can get up and go if I want,” Lattin says. “I love it and would do it again tomorrow.” Everyone’s pain threshold is different; Lattin has a tattoo, so she says her tolerance is pretty high. Denton says it varies from person to person, but each patient is given a topical anesthetic to numb the area. For lips, the client is given the ointment prior to coming in so that the numbing can begin earlier. The skin is cleansed, prepped so the 67 Enjoy April 2010
pigment will adhere, and then numbed both before and throughout the procedure. Depending on the patient and the procedure, the process usually takes a couple of hours. Customers are sent home with a care kit and then come back for a checkup in six weeks so Denton can check the area and make sure the client is happy. “It’s extremely intense work for me, but so rewarding,” Denton says. “They’re so happy.” Denton is careful to tell her clients that the immediate results are often darker and more sharply defined; the color will fade up to 50 percent to the color they want and soften over time, so customers should not be concerned. “You can always cover the look with more makeup to look more dramatic,” she says. “But I always encourage a natural, classic look. This is not the procedure for someone who likes to follow trends or change colors a lot.” And Denton always recommends that clients come in for a touchup to keep the color fresh. How long depends on the client’s skin tone (lighter complexions need more pigment), what kinds of products they use (especially exfoliating or chemical products), and exposure to the sun or tanning bed. “It’s the same concept as hair color,” Denton says. “If you’re going to do it, you need to commit to keeping it up, or else reconsider.” Here are some things to consider when researching permanent cosmetics: • Do your homework. Make sure to find a doctor or specialist who has experience and education. Are they a member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetics Professionals? (www.SPCP.org) • When you visit the office, examine the area for cleanliness and professionalism. • A dedicated, involved specialist should be able to answer any and all of your questions. Make sure you feel comfortable communicating with your doctor or specialist. You should be able to ask anything that’s on your mind and see whether you have realistic expectations. Prices vary among technicians and procedures, so call a salon to see whether it is an affordable option for you, and then bask in the realization that you could, literally, wake up and go. •

HOW YOUR GARDEN T O P 1 0 F L O W E R , F R U I T O R V E G E TA B L E
BILLY & PATRICK’S TOP 10 PICK
How Does Your Garden Grow?
If you love fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers and enjoy eating and sharing the fruits of your labor, you’ve probably started working – or at least thinking about – your summer garden. What fruit, vegetable or flower do you plant that thrives in this North State heat? Below are the answers we received from our online poll. 1. 2.
Tomatoes: The most common fruit grown in the United States, tomatoes require plenty of sun and even watering they grow well in containers. Cucumbers: These veggies grow quickly and you can start planting them in April. Space plants about a foot apart and make sure they have plenty of growing space. They require full sun.
3. Plum Trees: Plum trees prefer well-drained soil. Fertilize in early spring and again in August and you’ll produce delicious, sweet, flavorful fruit.
BILLY: Our garden is full of sunflowers, summer squash, tomatoes, blueberries, wildflowers, cucumbers, and more!
4. Basil: Very easy to grow, basil loves the North State heat. It requires plenty of sun and good soil.
PATRICK: Other than weeds, we have tulips, plus basil and Roma tomatoes. Homemade bruschetta is the best!
6. Zucchini: Because zucchini grows very quickly, it’s easy to get overrun with a bumper crop. Make sure you have plenty of friends and neighbors to help take some of the extras off your hands. Zucchini also freezes well.
5. Bell peppers: Bell peppers take 70 to 90 days to mature. Encourage new growth and continuous production by harvesting the bushes regularly.
7. Melons: Is there anything that compares to chilled melon on a hot summer day? Melons do best in the hottest part of the garden. 8. Onions: Onions do well in high temperatures and low humidity. They are fairly easy to grow as long as you water and keep the soil weed-free. 9. Roses: Who can resist the scent of a fresh rose? Roses grow best in well-drained soil and full sun. There are so many varieties to choose from – long stem, miniatures, climbers. 10. Rosemary: Use it fresh or dried, Rosemary grows best in raised beds in a place with good drainage and a lot of sun. Clip the fragrant leaves or sprigs anytime.

WHAT’S COOKIN’ | by Lana Granfors
aprilrecipes COOKING WITH THE SEASON
Cooking with the seasons means choosing vegetables at their peak of flavor and freshness. For spring, it is asparagus, available and selling at lower prices during spring and into early summer. Look for smooth skin, a bright green color, compact heads and freshly cut ends. To store asparagus, place in a refrigerator in a vase of water or in a loosely wrapped plastic bag in the crisper. Just remember, the sooner you eat it, the better the flavor! There are many ways to cook asparagus roasted, grilled, steamed. Why not try your hand at a soufflé? You can make this recipe in advance, perfect for a brunch. Bake in demitasse cups for an impressive first course. Try these tips to help make yours light and fluffy: 1. Butter ramekins or cups thoroughly, then coat with very fine breadcrumbs. 2. Use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour in the sauce. 3. Use extra egg whites. Whip them to soft peaks that are just on the edge of becoming stiff peaks. 4. Work quickly and fold with a light touch. And, should you worry that you are wasting those asparagus stalks, try a cold asparagus soup that makes excellent use of the woody stalks. Taste that? It’s spring.
Ingredients: 6 thick slices bacon 1 lb. asparagus, ends trimmed and discarded, thick spears peeled and cut into 1” pieces ¼ cup chopped shallots 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped, or ½ t dried 4 T unsalted butter ½ cup finely ground dry bread crumbs 3 T cake flour (can substitute all purpose flour) 1 ¼ cup whole milk ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg Pinch dry ground mustard Pinch ground cumin Pinch ground ginger Fresh ground black pepper ½ cup grated Gruyere cheese (can substitute Parmesan, but I prefer the Gruyere) 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten 5 egg whites 6 8-oz. ramekins 73 Enjoy April 2010
Asparagus Soufflé Recipe
m RECIPES
A S PA R AG U S S O U F F L É R E C I P E Blanch asparagus for 2 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. Rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Set aside to cool. Melt 1 T butter in saucepan on medium heat. Add shallots, garlic and thyme. Cook for 4-5 minutes, being careful not to let brown. Remove from heat. Purée asparagus and shallot mixture in a blender. Measure out 1 ¼ cup of purée. Butter six 8-oz. ramekins and coat well with bread crumbs. Reserve leftover bread crumbs for topping. For sauce, melt 3 T butter in medium saucepan, over medium-low heat. Add the cake flour and whisk. Completely incorporate the flour into the butter, and continue to stir for a couple of minutes. Slowly add the milk to the mixture, little by little, whisking constantly. Stir in ½ tsp. of salt, the nutmeg, cumin, mustard, ginger and some fresh ground black pepper. Cut the heat to low and let cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove sauce from heat and stir in cheese. Transfer sauce and asparagus mixture to a large mixing bowl. If needed, adjust the seasonings, then stir in the egg yolks until well combined. (At this point you can store the soufflé mixture in the refrigerator for up to two days. Return to room temperature before proceeding.) Preheat oven to 400. Filled ramekins will be baked in a hot water bath, in a 9x12-inch baking dish with at least two-inch sides. Start kettle for boiling water. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and, using a mixer, beat the egg whites to firm but soft, almost stiff, peaks. (You do not want any trace of trace of egg yolk or shell in your egg whites.) Do not overbeat. With a light touch, use a rubber spatula to first fold in one quarter of the beaten egg whites into the asparagus mixture, then the remaining three-quarters. Fill ramekins with the mixture up to a quarter-inch from the top. If you want, sprinkle leftover bread crumbs on top. Place ramekins in the baking dish and put on the middle rack in the oven. Pour boiling water into the baking dish around the ramekins until the water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, reduce heat to 350 and bake for about 15 minutes more, until puffed up and golden brown. Don’t open the oven door until the soufflés are done. If desired, garnish with an asparagus spear and serve immediately. If serving later, let the soufflés sit in the baking dish for 15 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edges, invert the individual soufflés to a buttered baking sheet and cool to room temperature. Wrap individually in plastic and store in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, allow soufflés to return to room temperature. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove soufflés from ramekins, place them on a buttered baking sheet, and bake 7-8 minutes, and serve. Makes 6 individual soufflés

“Last Year over 780,000 people died from the same cause…” Dear Friend It’s hard to believe, I know, but it’s true. Last year, more Americans were killed by prescription drugs than by guns, AIDS, suicides and terrorists combined... But we’ll get at that in a minute. Ten years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. A long time family friend called and told me she had terrible pain shooting down her leg, not to mention headaches so bad she had to take eight Advil a day just to make it through work and she was beginning to have digestive trouble (probably due to all the Advil). After I did an examination and took some films, I adjusted her spine and put her on a corrective care plan. Immediately things began to happen. The pain in her leg was gone and within a few weeks she wasn’t having the headaches. And since Advil was a thing of the past, Mexican food was back. But even more amazing was her cat allergies that had bothered her since childhood seemed to vanish and she hadn’t used an inhaler for symptoms of asthma in months! She could now live her life without the limits of pain and sickness. I say this experience changed my life because this wonderful friend became my wife and mother of my children. Seeing the difference those simple, specific adjustments made in her life has made me confident and passionate in my profession which is chiropractic. Now as for my children, Kennedy, Madison, and Patrick, they were adjusted within the first hour of birth. They obviously didn’t complain about neck pain or back pain, I adjusted them to keep them healthy... as with all the hundreds of children I care for in my office. You, see it’s not normal for kids to get ear infections, asthma, allergies or a number of other illnesses we see clear up in my office everyday. When the nervous system is working correctly, your internal resistance and healing powers are enhanced. A healthy family does not rely on medication to make them well. My family does not take medication to seek health and we don’t have a medicine chest in our home. Due to years of advertising saturation from the pharmaceutical companies, most Americans seek health from outside-in and most families have a medicine chest filled with an average of 16 different mediations. In an average year, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports over 2.2 million US hospital patients experienced adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to prescribed medications. Approximately 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures we performed annually in the US, while approximately 8.9 million Americans are hospitalized unnecessarily. Last year, the WHO reported 783,936 deaths due to medications people took... and 160,000 were when the drugs were prescribed correctly. More people died last year from medication than at Pearl Harbor and Vietnam. Amazing, huh? If drugs make people well, then those who take the most should be the healthiest, but this simple isn’t the case. Many people are beginning to understand that
health comes from within. This is why chiropractic helps so many people. You see, GOD created a body that can heal itself. Your body doesn’t need any help: It just can’t have any interference. With Chiropractic, we don’t add anything to the body, or take anything from it. We find interference in the nervous system and remove it, thus enhancing the healing capabilities of the body. We get tremendous results... it really is as simple as that. Here’s what some of our patients have to say:
“I originally came in because of back problems. I told Dr. Kremer of my seizures-grandmal and petitemal. I have had seizures for over 40 years. I had seen many physicians and neurologists with no results in 40 years. The medications only covered symptoms and made things unpredictable. In seeing Dr. Kremer, I have had only 3 seizures-very, very mild ones in 3 years and have found I have a normal life, to be able to do ordinary things without fear. I can ride a horse again and take long walks.” (S. Cook) “I had back and neck pains. In the early 1990s it was caused by hard work and old age. It was severe enough I couldn’t sleep at times. My results with Dr. Kremer have been great! Dr. Kremer’s treatments have kept me from having back surgery. It’s great not to have so much pain.” (K. Bennett) “I had back and hip problems for about four to five years after I slipped on some cooking grease and have had problems with my back going out disabling me from walking or even moving at all at times. I also had allergies and asthma that was making me prone to ear
Kremer Family Chiropractic Scott Kremer, D.C. * Brady Wyatt, D.C. 1615 Main Street Red Bluff, CA 96080 530-527-0220
infections and severe colds. I had never been treated by another physician or chiropractor. My motherin-law referred me to Dr. Kremer. Over time, I have had an increase in mobility, my ear infections have stopped, and less intense allergies.” (D. Retzalf) Being a chiropractor can be tough because there’s a host of so called experts out there. They tell people a lot of things that are just plain ridiculous about our professional... usually it’s “My neighbor’s sister’s friend said...” Let me ask you, do you make your health care decisions based on honest facts or biased opinions? Interesting question, isn’t it? NOW... Find out for yourself and benefit from our AMAZING OFFER. Look, it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you might as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you mention this article within 2 weeks of receiving this offer, you’ll receive my entire new patient exam for $17. That’s our full exam, with x-rays...the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $239 any other time. Further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know, that I have affordable family plans. You see I’m not trying to seduce you to come and see me with the low startup fees, only to make it up with high fees after that. Further care is very important to consider when making your choice of doctors. High costs can add up very quickly. By federal law, this offer excludes Medicare and Medi-cal beneficiaries. Great care at a great fee. Please, I hope there is no misunderstanding about the quality of care just because I am offering a lower exam fee. I utilize several different adjusting techniques in my office to better serve you. If you prefer manual techniques or Activator, it makes no difference to me. I’m here to serve you and to make a difference in you life. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to 98 year olds for over 10 years now. I’m just offering this low fee to help people. Our assistants are Stacy, Jasmine and Dale. They are great and absolutely full of love. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have three offices with 4 Amazing Doctors to serve and take care of you. Our offices are both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service offered at an exceptional fee. We are open six days a week. We can help you. Thank you. P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am offering the second family member this same examination for only $10.00. We are also proud and excited to offer to our nutrition and weight loss program the ZERONA Laser. The laser is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery, needles, or side effects. Call today for your free consultation.

Ladies…Move it LOSE IT! I’ve been sweating it out at Adamsons for fifteen years now! Having the accountability of a personal trainer has been a life saver. My workouts start my whole day. They leave me feeling strong, firm, energized, healthy, and pushed to my limits. If I didn’t have them I’d be depressed. After asking around I originally chose Adamson’s Peak Performance because it is small, intimate, and not overwhelming. I continue to train at Adamsons because it’s fun, challenging, motivating, and most of all, it gets results! At age 43, I made a serious committment and investment in my health, and unlike Wall Street, it’s paying great dividends!
