Let’s hear it for the dads – those wonderful men who pour their time, energy and love into their children. If a father in your life deserves a special treat, we’ve got some ideas for you.

Perhaps your dad is the guy who taught you how to ride a bike. What more fun way to reminisce about those exhilarating, harrowing two-wheeled adventures than to explore the wonders of an e-bike? Enthusiasts say you can ride farther and have even more fun on a bike that’s equipped with a small motor.

For your music-loving man, check out the Jefferson State Blues Society’s second annual blues festival. The society’s jam sessions have ramped up in popularity, and the Singing the Blues Festival promises toe-tapping fun for all ages.

If Dad enjoys fishing, floating or spectacular scenery, we’ve got a list of things to do along the Sacramento River that will delight him. Plan an afternoon adventure, or spend a couple of days exploring every bend of this beautiful waterway.

And if you’d like to treat your favorite father to an unforgettable dinner, check out Armando’s Gallery House, a restaurant and art gallery that’s unlike anywhere else in the North State.

We’ll also share some tips for staying sun-safe as the weather heats up, and for organizing your life in creative and aesthetically appealing ways. Meanwhile, if your garden runneth over, we’ll show you how to donate your extra produce to those in need.

Don’t forget to join us for Enjoy Movies in the Park – June’s films will be every Friday at dusk in Caldwell Park, with an extra showing on June 25 at Red Bluff River Park.

Bring a blanket and a buddy and enjoy the show. And if you’re still searching for that perfect last-minute Father’s Day or graduation gift, the friendly folks at Enjoy the Store in Redding and Red Bluff are ready to lend a hand.

Happy Father’s Day, and enjoy!

SPOTLIGHT ON MUSIC WRITER PHIL RESER Phil keeps us entertained with stories about some of the great musicians who come to play in the North State. Not only is he a super cool guy, he’s pretty interesting, too.

1. Phil freelanced with a music business called Fan Asylum, where he wrote newsletters, catalogs and other literature in conjunction with various fan clubs for celebrities like Billy Idol, New Kids on the Block, George Michael, M.C. Hammer, Aerosmith, Journey, Paula Abdul, and the TV series, Beverly Hills 90210.

2. He served on the board of directors of Swords to Plowshares, a veteran’s rights organization, resulting in three Wells Fargo Bank President’s Awards while working as a technical writer for their customer transaction systems department.

3. He was awarded a City & County Award for community service by Mayor Frank Jordan when he worked as a program representative at UC San Francisco.

4. He co-founded the Bay Area non-profit group, Vietnam Veterans Video Production Co., which documented veteran issues and activities, a veteran’s poetry and music group which performed and educated the public about soldiers returning home from war, and a Vietnam veterans rock concert, “A Night of Peace & Healing,” working with rock promoter Bill Graham, with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship, Country Joe McDonald, Boz Scaggs and others. They raised $250,000 for local veteran services.

5. Phil served as managing editor of an award winning non-profit newsletter for Wildcare, a 3,000-member animal rescue and educational center in Marin County.

Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of stories about the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, one of 27 All American Roads in the United States, which connects Lassen Volcanic National Park with Crater Lake National Park. Though it’s possible to travel the byway in one long adventure, we’ll share it with you in five smaller pieces (from south to north). Each makes an easy weekend trip, and if you’re ambitious, you can squeeze it into a day.

This month: McCloud/Tulelake; Coming up: Klamath, Crater Lake National Park

V O LC A N I C L E G A C Y S C E N I C B Y WAY PA R T T H R E E IF YOU’RE A FAN OF MT. SHASTA (and who isn’t?), this leg of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway will delight you - it offers a view from just about every angle. You’ll also find plenty of time for contemplation as you roll through miles and miles of tranquil wilderness area.

Our last installment left off in McCloud, a picturesque community with plenty of accommodations for travelers and nature-lovers. Moving up the byway takes you to the city of Mount Shasta, which also offers dining, recreational, cultural and shopping opportunities, as well as accommodations from quaint chalets to comfortable campgrounds. The Sisson Museum and Mt. Shasta Fish Hatchery are fun places to stop.

The 15-mile Mt. Shasta Everitt Memorial Scenic Drive offers a breathtaking tour of the 14,179-foot peak that has been recognized as one of the world’s seven sacred mountains, thereby attracting visitors from around the globe. And of course, the Mt. Shasta Ski Park draws adventure-seekers throughout the winter as the only ski park on the Byway.

A quick southerly side trip will lead you to Dunsmuir, a railroad town that’s worth the detour - you can even sleep in a 19th century railroad car at the Railroad Park Resort.

Hedge Creek Falls is accessible by an easy five-minute walk, and if you continue behind the waterfall, you’ll discover a cave and a spectacular view of Mt. Shasta.4 continued on page 20

Continuing north on Interstate 5, Weed is home to a historic lumber museum and walking tour, but also a number of volcanic landmarks. From a bird’s viewpoint, Lava Park looks like fingers, where lava poured from the northern side of Shastina some 9,000 years ago.

Pluto’s Cave is a 1,500-foot-long lava tube that’s accessible by two short trails that lead to opposite ends of the cave. Juniper and sage give this area a more desert-like feel than the lush land south of here. The nearby Juniper Flat recreation area is popular for offroad riders; 48 acres of open riding terrain lies in a mostly flat area of sandy soil and lava flows.

Nearby, a snowmobile park anchors a 230-mile snowmobile trail system through the Klamath, Modoc and Shasta-Trinity national forests. It hosts the Siskiyou Sled Dog Races each winter. If hang gliding is your thing, Whaleback Mountain (a shield volcano whose four cinder cones look like a whale’s back) offers excellent hang gliding and paragliding.

If you’re ready for a cultural stop, Weed Historic Lumber Town Museum offers a fun collection of artifacts. For the duffer in your travel party, check out Lake Shastina’s 27-hole golf course.

Heading north on Highway 97 is the Living Memorial Sculpture Garden and Labyrinth, with 11 sculptures dedicated to veterans. Stop and check out the Emigrant Trail marker, where wagon trains crossed into the Shasta Valley in the 1850s.

At this point, you’ll be looking at the north-facing side of Mt. Shasta’s glacier. Descending into Butte Valley, you’ll likely spy some of the millions of birds that pass through the area annually on the Pacific Flyway. This area is also the only national grasslands in California.

In Macdoel, you’ll discover the Herd Peak Lookout, a fire lookout built in 1933 that offers sweeping views of the valley. The 2.2-mile Goosenest Peak Trail traverses the Goosenest Volcano, a shield volcano topped with a cinder cone.

Dorris, near the Oregon border, is home of what’s said to be the tallest flagpole west of the Mississippi. If you need to re-energize, you’ll find restaurants and motels here.

Nature lovers will want to spend plenty of time in the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges. The Lower Klamath was the first refuge set aside for waterfowl in the nation, and more than 260 species use this refuge, including American bald eagles. Fall and winter are the best times to view the wildlife, but you won’t be disappointed at any time of year. It’s a serene, lovely place to relax and quietly observe your surroundings. And don’t just look toward the water— you’ll likely spot deer and other critters near the hillsides.

The Lava Beds National Monument, a short side trip, includes shield volcanoes, cinder cones, spatter cones, stratovolcanoes and more than 700 lava tube caves—and it’s also the site of the only Native American/U.S. Army battle in California history. The Native American rock art sites are a cultural wonder, with carved petroglyphs and painted pictographs that were created thousands of years ago. (Watch your speed, especially in this area—it’s easy to get a lead foot when there’s no one else on the road, but park rangers will remind you about the speed limit if you go too fast.)

From here, Highway 161 leads to Tulelake, the horseradish capital of the world. Those with an interest in American history can take some time for solemn reflection at several World War II site—a former internment camp for Japanese Americans and a German/Italian prisoner of war camp.

The segment of the byway from McCloud to Tulelake gets more desolate as you loop your way around Mt. Shasta and up toward the Oregon border—there are stretches where you might not even encounter another human for a good chunk of time. If you need a break from life’s daily demands, these 100 miles will give you plenty of time for quiet contemplation. Take your binoculars, a camera and a keen sense of observation, and enjoy the ride. • Kerri Regan grew up in the North State and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Francisco State University.

LOV E YO U R P E T E X P O S H O P — N OT YO U R AV E R AG E T H R I F T S TO R E A WOMAN WALKS into a new Redding thrift store.

She brushes past displays of bedding for pets, toys for pets, ceramic cats potted with live wheatgrass for pets, and heads straight for a man standing behind the counter. As she faces him, her elbow nearly bumps a red, zippered pouch, one of several hanging from a display tree on the counter. These are pet first aid kits, hand-assembled by the store owner.

The Love Your Pet Expo shop is no ordinary thrift store.

The woman asks counterman Stan Ball what she should do about a dog’s behavioral problems. “My son got a coon dog,” explains Sheryl Armstrong. “He’s really hyper. He chews things.” Stan Ball calls to his wife, who’s arranging hardware displays in the back of the store. Katie Ball refers Armstrong to her favorite dog trainer. “At least once a day someone comes in asking for help with animals,” she says afterward. “This is my passion, pets and their safety.”

And not just any pets. “We do find forever homes for some,” she says. “But we specialize in blind and other special-needs animals. We take what no one else wants.”

The Balls’ thrift shop is a new funding arm for their fiveyear-old nonprofit, Love Your Pet Expo Sanctuary, Inc. “It’s called Expo because that’s where it all started,” explains Katie. “The 2007 Expo was my gift to the community.”

She describes her annual April event at the Shasta District Fairgrounds as a fun get-together for pets and their owners, as well as a source of information for a vast range of animal issues. Today, Love Your Pet Expo serves as a hub among county animal control shelters and other animal well-being nonprofits all over Northern California.

“These groups run their own adoption programs,” says Katie. “They are self-sufficient, until they get to a special needs animal. That’s when we get the phone calls.”4 continued on page 24 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 23

Proceeds from the shop and the expo go toward operations of the Love Your Pet Expo Sanctuary on a plot of land in unincorporated Shasta County north of Redding. Here, all the animals that no one else wants are tended by Katie and many members of her family, who all moved up from Southern California together in 1999. “Stan and me and my father, Bob, and my mother, Sue,” she lists. “And my daughter, Amanda, my brother, Ed, and his wife, Elizabeth.”

It’s another morning, and feeding time at the sanctuary. Katie’s father, Bob Molthop, is sprinkling seed from a plate for the chickens, which he says were rescued from an egg plant. Near him stands a small brown and cream-colored dog, Tanner, who keeps an ear on things. “He was blind when we got him,” says Bob. “He also had a broken jaw. Someone had kicked him.” Here, the once-abused dog is pampered like a family pet.

Over in a fenced run, a larger dog, Blinker, barks excitedly and prances about as he noses and swats a ball around. “He’s herding,” calls Katie. “He loves it.” She explains his breed normally steers a herd from the head and that ball, which he cannot see, exercises those instincts.

Blinker the blind dog joins Gibbs the deaf dog in a fenced yard, where Katie demonstrates how she communicates with them both. She speaks and signs at the same time. “We have a language that we taught him when he was little,” she says, referring to Blinker. “‘Careful’ means something uncomfortable is coming up, like a rose bush. ‘Ho!’ means stop, now, for safety.” As she coaxes Blinker to sit up, she signs for Gibbs, so he knows what’s going on. “I sign and speak because I forget who I’m talking to,” she says with a laugh. “I do the same with the horses and ponies.”

The last stop on the tour is indoors. Katie kneels before a slatted door, which secures animals in what she calls the sanctuary’s intensive care unit.

A cat’s paw pops through the slats and swats playfully at her hand. “This is Snickers,” she says. “He just had an eye removed. We also use this room to introduce new cats. They can still play with the other cats. They don’t feel isolated.”

Back at the shop, Ed Molthop points at items not often seen in a thrift store, samples from his own World War II model collection. Also housed behind glass are African carvings, carried home by other family members and now donated to the cause. Ed’s wife Elizabeth says, “We have a lot of stuff because we traveled so much. There comes a point where you’ve loved it as much as you are going to love it, and it’s time for someone else to love it.” • Love Your Pet Thrift Shop 2275 Eureka Way, Redding (530) 515-6262 • www.loveyourpetexpo.com Closed Sundays and Mondays

T U R N YO U R G A R D E N O V E R LO A D I N TO A G A R D E N D O N AT I O N A ZUCCHINI PLANT ON A MISSION is impressive, churning out squash faster than you can say “veggie casserole.” Other garden plants can go into fast-and-furious mode, too. If you end up with an overachieving plum tree, tomato vine or pepper plant this summer, consider turning their productivity into generosity.

Food banks love to receive donations of fresh fruits and vegetables.

“Anything that comes out of the garden, we can find someone who would like it,” says Linda Baxter of True North Inc./Grassroots Emergency Food Closet in Shingletown.

Every cucumber counts. With garden donations, it doesn’t matter if the offering is a small bag with a few tomatoes or an overflowing lug of apricots.

“We take whatever people have. We’ll be most grateful,” Baxter says.

Backyard produce is a real plus for food banks because it meshes with messages to eat healthy to be healthy. Marilyn Hanna, food bank manager for Shasta Senior Nutrition Program, says just-plucked items from the garden are always a hit.

“I know the seniors absolutely love to receive produce,” she says. “It’s nutritious and good for you – and is so expensive in the stores.”

“Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthy and good for people to incorporate into their diets,” agrees Mike Mojarro, executive director of Living Hope Compassion Ministries in Redding.

Mojarro is a spokesman for Shasta Food Group, a coalition of food banks, faith-based groups and others in Shasta County working on4 continued on page 28 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 27

access to healthy food for all. The coalition supports Plant a Row for the Hungry, a national campaign encouraging gardeners to grow more than they need so surplus can be shared with those in need.

Some gardeners do just that, planning and planting with donations in mind. Others end up wanting to donate because their gardens generate more than they can use. Either way is OK, Mojarro says.

A vegetable donation will sometimes require a bit of culinary education for those who receive it, he notes. He remembers eggplants being perplexing to some recipients.

Lori Coker, nutrition educator with University of California Cooperative Extension CalFresh Nutrition Education Program in Redding, which is part of Shasta Food Group, offers ideas for putting produce into play. She gives presentations at schools, farmers’ markets, special events and for organizations.

“Try it raw. Cook it. Combine it with other vegetables. Use fresh herbs and spices,” she suggests.

When sharing strategies and recipes, one of her messages is to be open-minded. Sometimes people think they don’t like a particular vegetable because they ate an overcooked, mushy version.

“They don’t realize they need to try it more than once,” Coker says.

Food donations are a great way for people to expand their fruit and vegetable repertoire, Coker says, noting people are more willing to try something new if it’s a freebie.

“To me, it tastes better just knowing it is free,” Coker says.

Sharing backyard crops is a simple way for gardeners to make a difference. Consider it an exercise in growing compassion.

“I think donating fresh produce is very valuable. The value is better health,” Coker says.

Gardeners interested in donating crops should make arrangements by directly contacting a specific food bank, church or organization.

If you have a fruit tree with more fruit than you want, Shasta Food Group offers a gleaning service. Volunteers will pick fruit to be donated from trees that have produced more than the owners can deal with. Or it could be a situation where the owners don’t have the time or ability to harvest trees.

“We have specific picking tools, buckets and ladders,” Mojarro says.

To make arrangements for gleaning, call (530) 243-8066. • 28 | ENJOY JUNE 2016

| BY JON LEWIS |

ARMANDO MEJORADO’S WORLD was filled with light, color and love. And then it wasn’t. His partner of 20 years, Gary Desmond, passed away two years ago and the Redding artist found himself at an emotional and creative loss.

He didn’t wallow in self-pity very long. A busy man and a hard worker by nature, Armando turned his grief into action. For motivation, he fashioned a sign that he frequently posted to his Facebook page. It reads: “Need a Jump Start, Will Work 4 It.” “I went into survivor mode,” Armando says. Thankfully, he rejected his initial impulse to sell his belongings and “go somewhere where nobody knew me.” Instead, he decided to give himself a year to find his footing.

For the beginning, he knew he had to leave the home he and Gary, an interior decorator, had shared. The beautiful north Redding house was decorated from top to bottom with Armando’s paintings and the whimsical and unique furnishings the two had collected over the years.

“I knew right from the start that I couldn’t stay in that house because of the memories,” Armando says. Those memories, however, include fond ones of the elaborate dinner parties the pair would host; the soirees were usually based on a theme and often became performanceart events in and of themselves.

Ultimately, Armando decided to move ahead in the only way that made sense to him: start a business that combines his twin passions of creating art and entertaining friends. The result is Armando’s Gallery House, a restaurant and art gallery that stands alone in the North State in terms of originality.

An extravaganza of artwork, knickknacks and distinctive furnishings, the Gallery House is a constantly evolving potpourri that has been delighting customers since the doors opened last summer.

Sherry Hoyer of Redding likens a visit to the Gallery House to the opening pages of a favorite book. “It’s like ‘Milan’ or ‘The Secret Garden.’ It’s a backdrop to a story and I’m full of wonder and joy. The scene is set and I get to be in the story.”

Lyn Regan also is a fan and enjoys Armando’s nearconstant rearranging of the furnishings and artwork.

“Armando wants everyone to feel that they are a guest in his home, and he succeeds,” Regan says. “The Gallery is cozy and inviting. I have gone there for a special event where I dressed up, and one night I went in my slippers because I wanted to just relax with a glass of wine in the ambiance of his peaceful and lovely gallery.”

Perhaps the best review was delivered last month when Viva Downtown named Armando’s Gallery House the downtown business of the year at the annual State of Downtown event.4 continued on page 32

JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 31

The Gallery House is a slight twist on the dream Armando and Desmond had to open a combination gallery and bed & breakfast. There are no bedrooms and breakfast isn’t served, but guest comfort is still a priority. “I describe it as my home and I’m throwing a dinner party every night I’m open,” Armando says. “They can just come in and feel comfy.”

Armando creates a fixed menu each week for Friday and Saturday dinners. Guests also are welcome to order a la carte or simply stop in and enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of craft beer. Thursday nights are less structured, with appetizers and desserts on the menu. The Gallery House is open other nights of the week by reservation. The Butte Street location has become popular for private parties, Armando says.

Belly dance performances, movie nights, concerts and other themed events are held at least once a month. Guests are served by a pair of waitresses attired in colorful kimonos; Armando says the idea is to emulate geishas, “the ultimate level of service.”

Aspiring artists can buy a blank canvas and work on their own masterpiece while they dine or have a drink. Armando freely offers tips and guidance as his time allows; Thursdays are usually the best for those wishing for more instruction.

“They may say, ‘I’m not an artist,’ and I tell them you will leave with a painting you will be happy with,” Armando says.

He urges his guests to outline their works with a permanent marker rather than a pencil to eliminate any second-guessing.

“Your first instinct is usually the best,” he says.

A self-taught artist, Armando says he’s had the urge to create since age 5 and he kept returning to it despite the objections of his father. Art became his refuge as a teenager and a means of expression as an adult.

When Armando’s older brother, Bernave, was killed in an automobile accident about 15 years ago, Armando decided to stage an annual event in his brother’s memory and came up with his Charity Art Exhibit. He continued that tradition for more than 10 years, raising more than $120,000 for the American Cancer Society, North State Symphony, Riverfront Playhouse, Another Chance Animal Welfare League and other nonprofit organizations.

Armando continues to turn to art to convey his feelings.

Following Desmond’s passing, Armando painted five works, each featuring a circle representing the concept of infinity. The five paintings have a total of 20 circles, or one for each year they were together. All five are displayed at the Gallery House. • Armando’s Gallery House 1350 Butte St., Redding (530) 768-1241 Find Armando’s Gallery House on Facebook

C A R R I E R O D R I G U E Z CO M I N G TO P L AY I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E SINGER/SONGWRITER, fiddle and tenor guitar player Carrie Rodriguez has emerged over the last decade as one of the most compelling new voices on the American roots-rock scene.

The classically trained daughter of the late Texan singer-songwriter, David Rodriguez, she started playing violin when she was still a tiny girl.

“I started out playing with my father in clubs in Austin, Texas, where I grew up,” she recalls. “I was a classical violinist who was used to reading notes on a page, but he would sing me little melodies and tell me what to play. That was my first taste of musical improvising on the fiddle while accompanying him on songs. Later on, when I started backing up other singer/

songwriters, I automatically felt very comfortable because of those gigs with my father.”

For her first year in college, she enrolled at the Oberlin Music Conservatory, a classical school. “I found myself spending way more time in my dorm room playing along with Hank Williams records than practicing my Bach,” she says. “I was homesick, missing Texas, missing the music from Austin. And then, halfway through that first year, an old friend of my father’s, Lyle Lovett, invited me to to his show in Cleveland. He was playing with his band and knew from my father I was playing the violin and invited me to come and sit in at their sound check.”4 continued on page 36 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 35

His band was mostly performing swing, and she didn’t have any experience in that setting, she says.

“I think that I sounded pretty awful, but I loved it,” she says. “I watched the whole show, completely blown away with Lyle’s fiddle player and backup singer Andrea Zonn. She had grown up as a classical violinist also and had become fluent in numerous other musical genres. I found out that besides Lyle, she along with another fiddle player, Alison Krauss, had worked in this cool bluegrass band called Union Station and that night at that concert, I knew I wanted to be doing what she was doing.”

She started listening to other fiddle players – “anything I could get my hands on, I’d listen to over and over again to learn how to copy the styles.

Eventually I found my own way through all of that.”

Making her name working alongside mentor Chip Taylor, the veteran songwriter known for 1960s hits “Wild Thing” and the Merrilee Rush smash “Angel of the Morning,” the two of them released four collections of duets before Rodriguez struck out on her debut, “Seven Angels on a Bicycle.”

2010’s “Love and Circumstance” was her collection of covers by Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt and her father along with hits by Lucinda Williams, Julie Miller and M. Ward.

Rodriguez followed that album up with “Give Me All You Got,” love songs written by herself, band member Luke Jacobs and her old friend, Taylor.

36 | ENJOY JUNE 2016

This year’s new solo record, “Lola,” is a bilingual collection of ranchera-inspired originals by Rodriguez in English, Spanish and “Spanglish,” coupled with Spanish songs written by some of her favorite Mexican composers.

“I had started listening to the music of my great aunt, Eva Garza, who sang in Spanish. She was Mexico’s number one singer in the ‘40s and recorded on Columbia’s Decca Records during the ‘50s. She was an incredible ballad singer in the style of Bolero.

Her first recordings were in the late 1930s. Secondly, I’m married to a Spanish musician, and we speak Spanish at home. It’s actually a big part of my life but has never been a part of my musical life until now.

ALL ROADS LEAD HOME S E A N W E AV E R ’ S G R O U N D - B R E A K I N G T E C H N I S O I L IT’S A LONG ROAD that brought Redding native Sean Weaver back home. “I grew up in Redding, went to Shasta High School, then moved away for about 20 years,” he says. By his late teens, Weaver moved to Europe before relocating to cities like New York and San Francisco.

Then about 10 years ago, Weaver returned to Redding, where he started TechniSoil, a relatively small company that in a few short years has covered a lot of ground. Literally.

If you enjoy golf or like to hike, there’s more than a slim chance you’ve already seen TechniSoil products, though you’d never know it. “We develop, manufacture and package about 20 landscape-related products, applications like sealers and stabilizers, that are sold to retailers across North America,” explains Weaver.

Weaver developed a polymer, essentially a liquid plastic, that can be mixed with natural aggregates like sand, soil and granite to create longer-lasting, natural-looking roads and paths.

His products are being mixed with everything from paths at Sacramento’s Sutter’s Fort to federal roads in Russia.

When we think of inventions that we take for granted, roads are probably pretty high on the list. We not only use them every day, for almost every bit of distance we travel, but they allow us to get from point A to point B quickly and efficiently. It’s such a simple thing, but try and imagine a world without roads.

“A road has the highest impact in a nation’s gross domestic product,” Weaver posits, “and a tremendous economic and social impact.” As a network, roads connect people to each other and services, like health and education. In a sense, Weaver says with a chuckle, “we’re doing something bigger than Elon Musk, for such a little company in Redding.”

Not that Weaver was thinking about any of this when he first developed the liquid plastic.

He had only accepted a friendly challenge “to design a polymer that could be used with decomposed granite that could hold up under a golf cart.”

Which would require a background in science, right? “No, I was a clothing designer,” Weaver says. “I used to work for Titleist Golf… I taught myself chemistry.”4 continued on page 40 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 39

BY RECYCLING ROADS INSTEAD OF REBUILDING THEM, TECHNISOIL IS CUTTING CARBON EMISSIONS BY 85%

“THERE’S 20 MILLION KILOMETERS OF PAVED ROADS TODAY, AND IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS THEY’RE GOING TO BUILD ANOTHER 20 MILLION MORE KILOMETERS, AND THAT’S NOT GOING TO GET DONE WITH TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGY,” SAYS WEAVER.

AT A 30% REDUCTION IN COST.

No stranger to accepting entrepreneurial challenges, Weaver has always enjoyed the creativity behind business. “Before TechniSoil, I’ve developed products and filed patents. When I was young I wanted to be an inventor, and it kind of just happened.” At 16, perhaps capitalizing on the need for cool in a Redding summer, Weaver started a snow cone company that he later sold, using the profits to move to Europe.

Ask Weaver about all those entrepreneurial endeavors and he’ll say he’s learned from them – even the snow cones – how to create an even better business.

TechniSoil is actually two businesses: TechniSoil Global, which creates the 20-something products sold through retailers, and TechniSoil Industrial, which adapts those polymers to building and recycling roads and paths.

Using his polymer and mixing it with aggregates, TechniSoil has paved roads in countries like Russia, the Philippines and Qatar, as well as paving pathways across federal and state parks in the United States.

“Many of the parks have to rebuild their trail systems to be ADA compliant,” explains Weaver. “However, they want them to look natural.

So if they can use their native aggregate, and mix it with my material, it creates a natural-looking surface that is as hard as concrete when it’s wet.

So it’s ADA compliant and it has the aesthetic.”

TechniSoil is also paving most major campuses in Silicon Valley, including the Facebook campus. His company has also paved golf courses throughout the world, as well as the California Golf Club in San Francisco, and pathways at the Smithsonian.

For as many miles (or kilometers) as TechniSoil has paved, its greatest significance may not be the ground it is covering, but the technology that is helping cut emissions and preserve resources.

“There’s 20 million kilometers of paved roads today, and in the next 20 years they’re going to build another 20 million more kilometers, and that’s not going to get done with transformative technology,” says Weaver.

By recycling roads instead of rebuilding them, TechniSoil is cutting carbon emissions by 85 percent at a 30 percent reduction in cost.

Roads in Russia usually last about two years before they need to be rebuilt, Weaver explains. “Typically they would grind that road up and then haul away the asphalt.”

Instead, Weaver’s company has adapted heavy machinery to grind roads, then mix the aggregate with TechniSoil’s polymer, finally relaying the asphalt into a recycled road that will last up to 30 years. That’s cutting out the need for more aggregate to be quarried, as well as the industrial vehicles that would have to deliver it.

Weaver has come a long way from selling snow cones in Redding, having traveled and laid many roads since. But through national parks or over federal highways in Russia, for Weaver anyway, all roads lead to home. • www.Technisoil.com • www.Technisoilind.com

BEAUTY TRENDS

| BY MELISSA GULDEN

THE GOLDEN RULES OF S U N P R OT E C T I O N THIS SEASON, you are probably spending every moment you possibly can outside. Our skin is exposed and vulnerable more often than we realize—driving around with the windows down, having lunch al fresco, enjoying a stroll on the River Trail—and exposure to damaging rays is no joke. Putting on sunscreen should be as normal a part of your beauty routine as your favorite mascara. Now is the time to make sure you’re using the right kind of sunscreen and that you’re also using it correctly.

LOVE YOUR SUNSCREEN Finding your sunscreen soul mate is the key factor for using it regularly. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, each year in the United States, more than 5.4 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are treated. So if you don’t love your sunscreen, it may make you less likely to put it on or to reapply. Happily, there are plenty of formulas from which to choose.

Your makeup alone isn’t enough. Makeup and daily moisturizers with SPF will protect your skin if you load them on and reapply every 90 minutes, but who’s really going to do that? And most SPF-spiked beauty products skimp on the important UVA-blocking ingredients. So think of your moisturizer and makeup as an extra layer of protection, and always apply a lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen such as Clinique’s City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25.4 continued on page 44 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 43

An SPF of 30 to 50 is adequate.

BEWARE OF HIGH NUMBERS SPF (or sun protection factor) basically translates to how long you can stay exposed to the sun without burning. For example, SPF 15 means that it will take 15 times as long for your skin to burn. When the number gets to more than 50, the rule doesn’t apply. A proposed FDA regulation will limit the maximum SPF value on sunscreen labeling to SPF 50+. An SPF of 30 to 50 is adequate. Even if the sunscreen claims to be waterproof, it can still be wiped off with a towel or come off when sweating, so make sure to reapply every couple of hours.

If you’ve been in water, reapply as soon as you get out.

LOOK FOR “BROAD SPECTRUM” FORMULAS The sun emits two types of rays, UVA and UVB: Think A for aging and B for burning. UVA can damage skin on a deeper level, while UVB causes sunburns.

Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Check the label for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone.

These are the UVA heavy hitters. Apply sunscreen about 15 to 30 minutes prior to stepping out, and be sure to cover all of your body’s exposed areas, including the back of your neck, shoulders, chest, ears and hands.

And always use a lip balm with SPF. LAYER IT ON Think you apply enough?

Almost no one does. The biggest mistakes people make when applying sunscreen? Not using enough and not reapplying. It takes one ounce (enough lotion to fill a shot glass) to

44 | ENJOY JUNE 2016

cover your body properly. For spray formulas, hold the nozzle close to your skin and spritz, moving slowly up and down until you see a sheen, then go back over the area. For your face, apply a pea-size drop to each cheek, your forehead and chin, then rub in. If you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes, consider using children’s sunscreen on your face. The formulas are usually run-resistant, so they are less likely to get in your eyes.

EXPIRATION DATES MATTER A bottle of SPF won’t last more than a few weeks if you’re using as much as you should. If it does, toss it after a year. The formula is less effective over time and it deteriorates even faster when exposed to heat. Most sunscreens are designed with specially formulated stabilizers that protect their potency for up to three years, assuming you didn’t let it bake for days in your backyard. Store sunblock in a cool place and while you’re at the beach, keep it in the shade.

MEDS CAN MAKE YOU MORE VULNERABLE Almost half of all medications can make your skin more susceptible to sunburns, and some prescriptions require you to avoid sun completely, so ask your pharmacist. Medications like tetracycline, and diuretics and painkillers such as Celebrex, Aleve and ibuprofen up your chances of getting a burn. They make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, specifically to UVA wavelengths, which means you need to be extra vigilant about sunscreen when you’re taking them.

DON’T STOP AT SUNSCREEN Sunscreen is only one part of a sun-smart plan. The hierarchy of sun protection should be avoidance first, then seek shade and wear a wide-brim hat and protective clothing, then use sunscreen. Consider hitting the beach or pool in the morning instead of midday (when sun is strongest), and bring an umbrella.

Overcast? The sun’s UV light does get through on cloudy days. In fact, some types of clouds can actually increase UV intensity by reflecting and refracting sunlight. Bottom line: wear sunscreen every time you head outside.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START SAFE HABITS So you baked in the sun as a teen with little or no sunscreen. While regular tanning or getting several bad burns when you’re young raises your risk of skin cancer, what’s critical is that you put on sunscreen now. Since skin’s ability to repair itself decreases with age, your risk is even greater if you burn now. So be safe in the sun and find the products that work for you. •

“ T H E R O C K ” I N M O U N T S H A S TA AT THE FOOT OF BLACK BUTTE, the small cousin of Mt. Shasta, traffic moves north on Interstate 5 with eyes gazing through windows at the majestic mountains of Strawberry Valley. Passing the Abrams Lake offramp, these eyes for a moment see a smaller feature which combines nature, the affections of local citizens and the compassion of an engineer who helped put the interstate through this valley. Dwarfed by the mountains and trees stands a monument on the landscape, known as “The Rock.”

Charlie Moss was born with the freeway in his blood. “My father worked for the state and our family was living in a tent along Highway 99 at Sweetbriar during the time I was born,” Moss says.

Moss was raised in Anderson, spending his summers working for the state highway system as his father did. He spent three years at Chico State University, then took a year off to help build the expressway from the state line to the Klamath River. He finished his engineering degree at the University of Nevada.

Moss excelled at his work and found himself the resident engineer over the new Interstate 5 in the Mount Shasta area.

He directed 18 engineers as they determined the location and ensured the specifications of the new roadway, built over the existing Highway 99. Moss and his team inspected all work and guaranteed the quality of the roadway.

The Rock’s existence was there centuries before memories can place her. Even as vehicles roared down Highway 99, local youth painted their thoughts and desires on her hard face. Declarations of love, football rivalries, political statements and silly faces could be found there. Her demeanor changed quicker than the seasons.

The note came to Moss during construction. The boss, the Redding District head engineer, instructed the engineering crew to remove The Rock. Moss turned to his superior and interceded on The Rock’s behalf.

“I told him it was a landmark, that he was about to cause a lot of hard feelings with the community youth,” Moss says.

The district engineer relented. The freeway would stay away from The Rock and it would remain a landmark.

Millions of vehicles pass The Rock each year. For a while, she was a yellow and blue minion. She has helped young men propose marriage.

She declares fierce political statements. But if under her rough exterior and inches of paint there is a heart, it is warm for a now retired engineer who lives but a few miles from her, and his thoughtfulness which saved her life. •

THE BLUES WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY, and neither was the Jefferson State Blues Society. Although the former is a uniquely American art form dating back to the start of the 20th century, the latter is in its fifth year and growing steadily.

One measure of that growth: The two local bands slated to open the society’s second annual festival on June 25 will be paid. Odessa and the Blackwell Brothers won’t get rich from the gig, but that isn’t the point.

“Last year, the local bands played for free. This year, I said they’re getting paid even if it’s out of my own pocket,” says Michael Brown, the blues society president. “A lot of people don’t realize how hard musicians work to not only learn a song, but to do everything else—practice, get along with everybody, travel—and to have them play for $100? That’s such an insult.”4 continued on page 50

Another indicator that the society is flourishing: the number of musicians and fans who turn out twice a month for jam sessions held in the lounge atop the CookHouse at Bridge Bay Resort. “We’re getting 100 to 125 people up there attending the jams, and that’s unheard of,” Brown says of the get-togethers held on the first and third Sunday of each month.

The Jefferson State Blues Society, which welcomes members from throughout Northern California and Southern Oregon, stepped in after the Shasta Blues Society dissolved some five years ago.

The jam sessions tended to be lightly attended affairs as the gatherings

moved from venue to venue. After stints at Eddy’s Gastropub (now Kahunas Mongolian BBQ), Old School Restaurant (now Cheesecakes Unlimited), Angelo’s Pizza and the Redding Moose Lodge, the society found a home on the shore of Shasta Lake.

“It’s really growing well. We’re getting a lot of new musicians, and the older ones who used to play. The society is super strong and Bridge Bay is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s got a beautiful stage, a dance floor and a beautiful view,” Brown says.

Jam sessions are the heart and soul of a blues society. “They’re a great way to continue the tradition of blues music,” Brown says, noting that

HEALTHGREENVILLE Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States

Greenville Rancheria’s 2016 HEALTH FAIR June 16, 2016 10am – 2 pm 1425 Montgomery Rd. Red Bluff “Helping the people in our community live happy and healthy lives”

WISE Cigarette smoking is more common among American Indians/Alaska Natives than almost any other racial/ethnic group in the United States. (CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Smoking increases the chances of: • Losing Losing members of your tribe to smoking-related illnesses members of your tribe to smoking-related illnesses • Losing Losing elders elders to to smoking-related smoking-related diseases diseases or or exposure exposure to to second-hand smoke before they can hand down tribal second-hand smoke before they can hand down ttribal ribal customs and traditions Cigarette Cigarette smoking smoking harms harms nearly nearly every every organ organ of of tthe the he bbody, body, ody, causes many diseases, and reduces the health of smokers in general. Quitting smoking lowers your risk for smoking related diseases and can add years to your life.

• Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths.

• Smoking causes more deaths each year than the following causes combined:  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)  Illegal drug use  Alcohol use  Motor vehicle injuries

 Firearm-related   Firearm-related incidents Firearm-related Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. Smokers are at greater risk risk for for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular (cardiovascular disease), and smoking causes lung disease by by damaging damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs.

Lung Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer. If nobody smoked, one of every three cancer deaths in the United States would not happen.

Smoking can make it harder to get pregnant and can affect baby’s health before and after birth. Smoking can also affect men’s sperm, which can reduce, and also increase risk for birth defects and miscarriage. The risk of developing diabetes is 30-40% higher for active smokers than nonsmokers. Smoking can make it harder to control your diabetes.

Quitting smoking cuts cardiovascular risks. Just 1 year after quitting smoking, your risk for a heart attack drops

dozens of Jefferson members played their first licks at the old Shasta Blues Society jam sessions at Lulu’s.

In a similar vein, Brown and his fellow board members have worked hard to develop an education program. The society has hosted a seminar on blues guitar by Bruce MacMillan (owner of the Music Connection stores in Redding and Chico) and one on slide guitar by Steve Canali, a former guitarist with the Doobie Brothers.

Future seminars are in the works on topics like the use of special effects pedals, the theory of blues music and its history. Brown says Andres Acuna, lead guitarist for Cold Sweat and a society member, is interested in teaching a workshop, as is Aaron Lucero, one of the Shasta Blues Society’s success stories.

Some 21 guitarists showed up at Lulu’s for MacMillan’s seminar.

“Three-quarters of them had their guitars, but it was more just listening to him talk about blues progressions, minor and major keys, pentatonic scale and how to build as a blues player. It really helped. A lot of the guys really enjoyed it,” Brown says.

In its first years, the society lacked the wherewithal for a full-scale festival, but it did host blues concerts at Grey Pine Farm in Oak Run until that venue closed. Last summer, the society’s board decided it was time to reintroduce the popular festival and they produced the first Singing the Blues Festival at Anderson River Park.

Festival No. 2 is now set for Saturday, June 25, from 1 to 9 p.m. at Anderson River Park’s amphitheatre. The twin goals are sharing a love of

the blues and raising money for more equipment.

Headlining this year’s festival will be Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, who joined with Tower of Power to pioneer the San Francisco Bay Area rhythm & blues sound that came to be known as East Bay Grease.

Portland bassist Lisa Mann and her band are on the bill along with Crooked Eye Tommy, a representative from the Santa Barbara Blues Society.

Odessa, out of Redding, and The Blackwell Brothers from Dunsmuir will get the party started. “I absolutely love the lineup,” Brown says. “I hope a lot of people come to the festival and have a blast.” • 2nd Annual Singing the Blues Festival 1 to 9 pm June 25 at Anderson River Park amphitheatre Coolers and lawn chairs welcome; food and drink available; no pets.

Tickets: $20 in advance, $25 at the gate; $10, students 17 and under.

RANCHERIA sharply. Within 2 to 5 years after quitting smoking, your risk for stroke could fall to about the same as a nonsmoker’s. If you quit smoking, your risk for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder drop by half within 5 years. Smoking is a cause of rheumatoid arthritis.

Tobacco/nicotine dependence is a condition that often requires repeated treatments, but there are helpful treatments and resources for quitting. Smokers can and do quit smoking. In fact, today there are more former smokers than current smokers. People who stop smoking greatly reduce their risk for disease and early death.

Who’s your REALTOR®? For most, when we think of a REALTOR®, we imagine someone from an HGTV series living a Hollywood lifestyle, but in reality, REALTORS® are everyday people like you, raising their families, going to school, earning a living, and enjoying all the beauty this area has to offer.

However, as REALTORS®, they have a unique understanding of the important role real estate plays in our overall economy. As such, they encourage affordable housing, land use, business ventures, revitalization, transportation, and fair housing throughout Shasta County.

They are, if you will, often the unknown ambassadors for our community working behind the scenes to promote new developments for increased job creation and economic expansion here in the North State.

But, a REALTOR®’s character does not stop there, as Champions of Homes™, they are passionate about supporting the communities in which we live, work, and play by volunteering their time, energy, and resources to a variety of youth programs, elderly care, service clubs, civic offices, performance arts, libraries, education, public safety, animal welfare, and recovery programs.

A glass Menagerie M A K I N G L A S S W I T H A N D E R S O N ’ S K I M B E R LY M A K I N KIMBERLY MAKIN WAS ON A WEARY ROAD when she decided to move to Northern California with her young sons.

“We were crossing over the interstate to go to Fort Bragg and we saw the sign to Redding and we thought, ‘Why don’t we just turn right and go to Redding?’” she says.

They were looking for a fresh start after illness, family upheaval and stress. They were on the road, but Makin was unsure of her path.

Thankfully, she’d been given a navigational tool of sorts from her mother, Mary Mooney, a few years prior: instructions in creating stained glass art. A short stint in Antioch saw her working in a stained glass shop, where she’d honed her skills and learned the business.

That skill, offered as a way to combat depression, paved the way to a new business for Makin and a valuable resource for North State artists. In January 2004, Makin opened Makin Glass in Anderson. What started as a stained glass shop and studio has expanded to include mosaic, glass bead making, glass fusion and clay ceramics.

Now, she says, “I honestly feel like I’m on the path that God chose for me and I just can’t turn it off.” The evidence came on with the force of a lightning

bolt when Father Philip Wells of Sacred Heart Church in Anderson invited her to work on the stained glass of the church.

While some may be intimidated to work on such a reverential project, where the windows will filter the joys, sorrows, prayers and petitions of a congregation, Makin says she looked at the project ahead of her and said, “Oh my God. I know how to do this! I know every step! My path! My path!”

That project remains Makin’s most profound, though she has since gone on to create seven custom windows for Red Emmerson’s custom home.

“The one day it rained this summer was the one day we needed it to stay cool,” says Makin of the church window installation. “After we got that, we were on a natural high, my mom and I.”4 continued on page 54

JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 55

That high has continued as the business has grown to include a cherished group of customers who meet regularly, including homeschooled children and adults seeking a community from which to learn and grow.

Redding resident Phillis Martin says, “I fell into this wonderful Tuesday group and they’ve been so supportive.” Martin learned the art of mosaic at Makin Glass and says Makin, her mother and the others in her group were instrumental in helping her create a mosaic butterfly that took two years to complete. “It was my first project and it was huge,” she says, crediting the support she received with the fact that she finished it. “It’s pretty big and heavy, but it was a good learning experience.”

In addition to classes, the studio offers a guild membership that allows artists to work independently during certain hours and use tools and specialized workspace.

Makin has added various arts to her offerings as opportunities and demands have presented themselves. When the previous owner of a clay business insisted on selling to her, she took over to become the largest supplier of clay in the region, supplying schools, studios and individual artists.

She dreams of adding a metal shop, wood shop and glass blowing area to her studio, saying, “I feel it’s necessary to have the ability to learn these different crafts.

We’re so stuck on our computers we’ve lost the ability to learn

how to build a cabinet. I believe there are a lot of people that want to learn woodworking but just can’t afford the equipment.”

When customers complete their projects, Makin encourages them to enter the Shasta District Fair, especially her homeschooled students. Any ribbons won will be proudly displayed in the shop, where she also keeps track of kids’ growth at a doorway height chart notched with pencil marks over many years.

Her own children are now grown, with her oldest at California State University, Monterey Bay studying art and her youngest a Shasta College student. “They are recognized in the community as good, decent people,” Makin says of her sons, adding that they are both Eagle Scouts.

The shop has rooted her family in the Anderson area and brought healing through not only art, but connection, she says. “When you create something there’s a sense of pride. If you’re building, you become active and you care about your community more.” • Makin Glass & Pottery 2908 Douglas St., Anderson (530) 365-6316 • www.makinglass.com

H I TC H A R I D E WITH AN ELECTRIC BIKE

WHOEVER SAID exercise isn’t fun probably never rode an electric bike.

Twenty-first century green machines, e-bikes (also known as pedelecs and EPAC, or electric power-assisted cycles) are poised to introduce bicycling to a whole new generation of American riders.

Equipped with a small electric motor and rechargeable batteries that assist the pedal power of the rider, these bikes and their technology were initially adopted by the Chinese government in the early 1990s and sales mushroomed within the first decade.

The demand for e-bikes has followed in Europe (with more than a million sold annually) and now this multibillion dollar industry, with more than 11,000 suppliers worldwide, is attracting U.S. riders.

| BY CLAUDIA MOSBY |

“E-bikes allow you to ride farther with ease, and have a lot more fun,” says Tracey Cooper, owner of The Bike Shop in Redding.

“With our hilly Redding terrain, pedaling can be a challenge and make riding less enjoyable.”

With these bikes, cyclists can choose from three power levels: economy, normal and high.

Riders maintain control over how much assistance they need and can manage the duration of their battery charge.

Cooper, who began carrying the Ride+ model

by Trek Bicycles last year, sells a couple a month with a price tag hovering between $2,800 and $3,500.

The higher price, she says, is easily justifiable4 continued on page 60

JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 59

“While a bike like the Ride+ looks very similar to a standard bike, the differences in engineering are considerable.” when considering the many health benefits of cycling.

“How much does someone who doesn’t exercise spend in medical bills?” she asks. Trek offers financing plans through its retailers to make quality bike purchases more achievable for a wider variety of people.

The Ride+ battery is waterproof and locks to the bike when in use, requiring a key to remove it. It charges similarly to a smart phone (charging procedure may vary by manufacturer/model), giving riders enough power to cover 40 to 60 miles per charge.

Not all electric bikes are created equal, however, and buyers need to know what class of bicycle they really want in order to avoid investing in something that will not suit them.

“Class 1 consists of ‘pedal assist’ bikes, like the Ride+ model that we carry,” says Cooper. “Class 2 consists of throttle bikes (no pedaling required), which we do not sell. Both Class 1 and 2 bikes are limited to speeds up to 20 mph and Class 3 pedal assist bikes can reach speeds up to 28 mph.”

Purpose will influence a rider’s choice of e-bike class.

Will it be used for commuting, recreation or both? Will more, or less, power be required? Is the goal to use standard bike trails, without the need for licensing and registration, or to find a more powerful road-worthy alternative method of transportation? How high a priority is exercise?

60 | ENJOY JUNE 2016

“Here at The Bike Shop, we specialize in the Class 1 bikes and also offer Class 3,” says Cooper. “There are no throttles on anything we sell. Our mission is to help keep people healthy, and that will only happen with pedaling, not with turning a throttle.”

And what is Cooper’s recommendation to the do-ityourself aficionado who wants to transform a standard bike into a powered one? In a word, “Don’t,” she says.

“While a bike like the Ride+ looks very similar to a standard bike, the differences in engineering are considerable.

“These pedal assist bikes have heavier tubing and are designed for higher speeds,” adds Cooper. (The Ride+ weighs 10-15 pounds more than a standard bicycle.)

“They are designed for taking off and stopping at higher speeds, something a standard bike is not designed to do.”

Whether recreationalist, commuter or multi-purpose user, the power of the pedal is now available to more people than ever. • www.thebikeshopredding.com • (530) 223.1205

DIY REPURPOSING

| BY KIMBERLY BONÉY

OUTSIDE THE BOX C R E AT I V E WAY S T O G E T O R G A N I Z E D

SUMMERTIME – the unofficial recess from the rat race of the school year. The time for leisurely trips to the lake, later-than-usual bedtimes, and getting all those tasks that slipped into the “to do later” pile done before the whole routine sets in again come fall. And why shouldn’t you be able to enlist the help of a few extra pairs of hands while you organize your household? Take the customary dread out of the process by finding creative ways to repurpose some items you have lying around the house. We like to call it organizing outside of the box.

MASON JARS Having long been the safe keepers of your garden’s bounty and decadent homemade jams, mason jars are good for far more than just storing fruits and veggies. Use them in the pantry to house tea bags and cookies. It’ll cut down on the clutter of the original packaging and preserve freshness.

Corral cotton balls, Q-tips, make-up brushes, bobby pins and razors in the bathroom. They are perfect for your craft room or workshop, neatly compartmentalizing everything from color pencils and paint brushes to nails, nuts and bolts.

A BREADBOX Sure, they’re ideal for keeping your kitchen counter free from the endless bags of bread, hot dog and hamburger buns that are inevitable during the warm summer months. But don’t overlook an old breadbox as the perfect place to stow medicine bottles, toiletries or make-up on the bathroom counter.

Just make sure they are out of reach of your littles. If you detest a tangle of electrical cords, drill a large hole in the back of a wooden breadbox, place a multi-plug power cord inside and it’s instantly transformed into a charging station for electronics on your nightstand or the side table in your living room.4 continued on page 64

THE GLASSLESS FRAME You know—the one your kiddo nailed with the Hot Wheel car a year ago that you can’t bring yourself to part with. Make sure it’s sturdy enough to take some pressure with a staple gun, pick up some chicken wire from the hardware store, cut a piece to fit the dimensions.

Voilà! You now have your own handy dandy wall display for earrings. Use larger glassless frames with a few clothespins in your home office to display photos, notes or mail. If you don’t feel like your frame could withstand the stapling process, float it around other frames you have on the wall to add extra dimension, color and style to a room.

THAT OLD STEAMER TRUNK Yes—the one that’s hiding in the garage, holding all of those family heirlooms, pictures and paperwork you’ve kept over the years. Pull it out, dust it off, redistribute the contents to shelves, photo albums, scrapbooks or a plastic bin and bring that beauty out to play in your living room as a coffee table. It’s ideal for storing blankets, throw pillows, board games and kids’ toys and it’s a cool conversation piece, too. Steamer trunks work perfectly at the foot of the bed to store any off-season clothing and accessories until the weather changes, freeing up valuable real estate in your closet. What better way to honor our loved ones than to use and love the stuff they treasured so much?

A CHEST OF DRAWERS OR FILE CABINET There is nothing more functional than a tall, slender chest of drawers or a file cabinet. Consider putting one in the bathroom for handy access to clean towels, toilet tissue or your collection of smell-good lotions and body mists. Give your kitchen added space for plastic storage containers, paper products, dishtowels, placemats, cutting boards and baking tins.

Kids’ rooms, notorious for corners amassed with toys, get an instant upgrade— and more space—once toys are organized and stowed

in drawers. Save your entryway from becoming a catch-all for everyone’s stuff by designating a drawer for each family member. Encourage everyone to check their cubby for anything that needs to be taken with them for the day or redistributed to their rooms at night. Sanity: restored.

YOUR OLD MAGAZINE RACK In this age of online media, we don’t often feel the need to keep paper versions of our favorite magazines. Give that lonely magazine rack a new lease on life. Use it in the kitchen to store baking sheets and cook books. Move it into the kids’ room to organize their favorite books. Repurpose it as a craft caddy to store yarn, fabric or scrapbooking supplies. It’s a good place to store your laptop for easy access in the den or living room so your couch or coffee table doesn’t become a perpetual stowing station.

Relegate it to the bathroom for a unique way to hold towels and washcloths. Need a safe yet functional storage for your old record collection? Look no further than your old magazine rack.

Getting organized can feel like a daunting task. But with an open mind, a few tools and a touch of creativity, you can set your family up for success, leaving more time, space and energy to enjoy life together. •

HUMANKINDNESS IN OUR CITY

DANCING

QUEEN They’re polishing their dance moves and putting the finishing touches on their opulent costumes, preparing for the night that they take the Cascade Theatre stage by storm during Dancing with the Stars, Shasta County Style.

But beyond the sequins and the shuffle steps, Kim and Neil Shaw are proudly representing Dignity Health Mercy Medical Center Redding to harness the power of humankindness and help end domestic violence.

It’s an issue close to each of their hearts, as both have witnessed domestic abuse in their personal lives and careers.

Kim, Chief Nurse Executive and Vice President of Patient Care Services for Dignity Health Mercy Medical Center Redding, was involved in an abusive relationship many years ago. Her husband, a retired sheriff’s deputy, witnessed domestic violence as a child.

Tragically, Kim’s life was forever changed when one of her best friends was shot and killed by a boyfriend.

The woman had been trying to get a restraining order against her killer.

“She was a nurse, and she had a 3-year-old son,” Kim says. “It was really tough – we had both been through bad divorces, and to know the same thing could happen to you…”

She has channeled that grief into activism, and is committed to helping stop the cycle of violence

and building healthy families, children and communities.

They’re the first husband-and-wife team in Dancing with the Stars, Shasta County Style history, and they’ve dreamed up a humorous routine and a more serious one. “We’d been doing dance lessons together before we started this,” Kim explains. “It’s a great way to spend time together, and it’s good exercise.”

Naturally, the Shaws hope to win the dance contest, but they can also emerge victorious if they have the most crowd votes or raise the most money.The big winner, of course, is One SAFE Place and people trying to break free from domestic violence.

“Abusers make you feel like it’s your fault. When you realize it’s not you, you can put your life back together,” Kim says. “I don’t think men wake up thinking, ‘I want to abuse my wife.’ It’s a generational cycle, and we need to help stop it. Women need to see that there’s hope, they deserve to be treated well, and life is better when you refuse to be a victim.”

Join us for Dancing with the Stars Shasta Country Style on June 25 from 6pm-9pm at the Cascade Theatre. Go to ospshasta.org/voteforkim to cast your ballot for Dignity Health’s Dancing Queen!

D R . R I TA M C W I L L I A M S ’ U N I Q U E O F F I C E E N V I R O N M E N T FORGET COLD AND CLINICAL when thinking about going to the doctor’s office. More and more medical offices greet patients with warm and inviting color palettes, fish tanks and artwork. Rita McWilliams, doctor of audiology, however, has taken a unique approach to her interior design with help from daughters Morgan Simko and Kirsten McWilliams. Many doctors have upgraded their waiting and exam rooms to reflect a modern movement in marketing, where patient-centered care includes the environment, a sense of welcome and comfort from the moment they enter the office until they leave.

Dr. McWilliams celebrated a grand opening at her new offices in Redding on June 1, 2013, after many years in an older building nearby.

Daughter Morgan, who is working toward a master’s degree in

interior design, guided the design project that was inspired by her sister’s idea to create something similar to Disneyland’s Main Street, USA. A red, white and blue color scheme in the waiting room welcomes patients into a celebration of American heritage, with framed replicas of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. An old quilt top on display and a framed flour sack that came from the doctor’s great-grandfather’s flour mill, along with other memorabilia, create a museum-like experience.

Beyond the door leading to a common area, exam rooms and more office space, patients feel transported back in time to early 20th century Main Street. Murals covering both walls depict storefronts found in4 continued on page 70 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 69

any small American town. Park benches and street lights continue the theme. Each office and exam room has been decorated (some still works in progress) like such favorite places as a barber shop and sweet shop.

Dr. McWilliams’ own handmade quilts grace the walls along the back hallway. It is not uncommon for patients to comment, “I remember when…”

Dr. McWilliams has served patients for 31 years with a desire to “treat every one as if they were a member of my own family.” She says of her specialty, “I change lives.” Those with moderate to severe hearing loss get to hear again things they have missed. She strives in the most pleasant environment to help her patients relearn how to communicate as they learn to hear better. She says she gives an honest assessment without high pressure in a professional and friendly setting. Daughter Kirsten attends University of Pacific in San Francisco working on her doctorate in audiology and plans to join her mother’s practice when she’s done.

Morgan, who works with her mother while completing her master’s degree online, says they enjoy the impact of their decor as it helps them connect with their patients, especially the silver-haired ones who sometimes say they would like to just keep walking on down Main Street and memory lane. Dr. McWilliams’ patients respond with enthusiasm to her friendly and whimsical decor without losing the sense of coming to a professional business. Says Simko, “We want them to leave with knowledge and a memorable experience.” •

T H I N G S TO D O TO K E E P CO O L D O W N B Y T H E R I V E R FROM THE KLAMATH MOUNTAINS to the Central Valley, the Sacramento River spans 382 miles from Northern California, eventually merging with the San Joaquin River and feeding into the San Francisco Bay. The Sacramento River’s headwaters are located in Mt. Shasta. The Upper Sacramento, Pit River and McCloud rivers flow into Lake Shasta, a reservoir that holds 1.4 trillion gallons of water when full. From there, the Pit, Feather and American rivers continue to be the primary tributaries that nourish the Sacramento River.

Flowing through towns like Mount Shasta, Redding, Red Bluff and

Sacramento, the Sacramento River offers plenty of entertainment for water lovers in the North State. Here are some activities to enjoy when it starts getting hot in the valley: MT. SHASTA CITY PARK: A natural spring with Mt. Shasta snowmelt called Spring Hill serves the headwaters of Upper Sacramento River. Visitors can relax on a bench by the spring or walk along the pathways to take in the crystal-clear water rolling through.

SHASTA LAKE: Recreation opportunities abound on Lake Shasta’s waterways, with natural coves and channels available for houseboating,4 continued on page 74 JUNE 2016 ENJOY | 73

Listen... the river is calling… wakeboarding, kayaking, canoeing or fishing. Mountain biking, hiking and campgrounds are perfect for people who want to be one with nature and have a place to cool off during NorCal’s hot summers.

As water gets released from Shasta Lake Dam, the river finds its way through Redding, a popular spot for trout, bass, sturgeon and salmon.

Turtle Bay Exploration Park in the heart of Redding serves as the entrance to the 12.27-mile Sacramento River Trail system, where families and runners/bikers can enjoy incredible views of the river, the Trinity mountains, and fun-to-cross pedestrian bridges. The famous Sundial Bridge that takes people easily from one side of the river to the other is an architectural work of art and one of the largest working sundials in the world.

Just a quick jaunt down from Turtle Bay, find yourself at the Aqua Golf Driving Range on Park Marina Drive. Kill some time before a movie or practice your swing in this inexpensive and fun way to enjoy the Sacramento River.

RAFT REDDING: Dip your toes in the water and watch the wildlife as you drift down the river in a sturdy raft. From the Sundial

Bridge to Anderson, rafters pass under six bridges and enjoy gentle rapids during about a two-hour trip. North Country Raft Rental even rents out a cataraft for overnight camping trips from Redding to Red Bluff with great access to a rainbow trout fishery.

The Red Bluff River Park has swimming pools, playgrounds and horseshoe pits, but also has a boat ramp and fishing access. Fly-fishing, bait casting, spin casting and trolling help catch the area’s Sockeye Salmon, Brook Trout or Warmouth in the area.

LABOR DAY RIVER FLOAT IN CHICO: A good induction to being a college student in Chico is to participate in the annual Labor Day Float. Get your Explorer 5000 or River Rat early so you don’t have to wait in a long line to put air in it. Then use your temporary floating ship to make new friends and end up at the party at Beer Can Beach. Floating the river doesn’t cost anything except what you spend on your tube, but keep in mind that there is a very party-like atmosphere on the Labor Day Float. 4 continued on page 76

From Sacramento, the river feeds into the California Delta and then into the Pacific Ocean. More boating and fishing opportunities abound with a mix of saltwater and the San Joaquin River blended in.

But keep in mind that the water won’t be as crystal clear as what you’ll find at the top. •

Next Stop: Kindergarten

S

tarting kindergarten is one of childhood’s biggest milestones. As a preschool director, Jula Herzog has proudly helped dozens and dozens of youngsters make this leap. She knows it’s smart to start preparing early so your child has a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten.

“Make this an exciting time of their lives! It helps reduce anxiety for both the parents and the child,” Herzog says. “In the year leading up to kindergarten, build a foundation for a good relationship between your family and your school that will continue for a lifetime and will support academic achievement.”

Jula Herzog

Teacher/director, Redding Cooperative Preschool First 5 Shasta has a few tips for making the preschool to kindergarten transition go smoothly: Talk about school.

Build your child’s enthusiasm about going to kindergarten. Point out the school when you pass by.

Talk about the exciting things your child will be doing there.

Get familiar with the new school.

Most schools offer a Kindergarten Round-Up. Visit the campus and meet the teacher. This helps build your child’s familiarity with the new places and people at school.

Have health records handy.

To start kindergarten, children need a birth certificate and immunization record. They’ll also need an oral health assessment and a full well-child health exam is a good idea.

Establish a routine.

Children thrive on routine. A few weeks before school starts, begin going to bed and waking up at “school” times. At least eight hours of sleep will help your child be rested and ready to learn.

Read, read, read!

Read to your kids 20 minutes every day, even when they’re babies. It’s a great way to prepare them for school, and it’s a wonderful way to enjoy time together.

First 5 Shasta is building a pathway to success for young children. As stewards of Proposition 10 tobacco tax revenues, they invest over $1 million each year in quality programs, services,a dn activities that better the lives of Shasta County’s youngest residents. First 5 Shasta investments combined with the contributions of community members is making the pathway strong. Get involved: www.first5shasta.org

STEM CELLS ...

OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM

Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate.

Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives.

Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

June Recipe

Do you remember, eating watermelon as a child? I sure do! Those hot and humid Texas summer days were almost bearable while eating a crisp, cold slice of watermelon. I remember with pure pleasure the cold juices dripping down my arms and off my chin.

This summer, there will be many watermelon dishes at our house, and these grilled savory watermelon slices are just two ideas. They are our latest cravings and so simple to make!

82 | ENJOY JUNE 2016

When grilled, the natural sugars caramelize. When topped with savory ingredients, such as salty prosciutto, tangy feta and an intense balsamic glaze, the melon transforms into a flavor bomb. So good!

For dessert, drizzle honey on watermelon slices and place on a hot grill for 3-4 minutes per side until marks form and caramelize. Remove from the grill and top with toasted sliced almonds.

Enjoy!

NOT A FAD. © 2016 ANHEUSER-BUSCH, BUDWEISER® BEER, ST. LOUIS, MO

by Billy Pilgrim Tiger Field is so beautiful this summer. The newly mown grass in the outfield and infield is a deep green. The infield dirt is a rich, earthy brown and just as the baseballs gods would want. Tiger Field is the temple of the Church of Baseball in Redding. And the Boys of Summer, the Redding Colt 45s, are back for another season in Redding to play and honor this sacred game. The Redding Colt 45s are a collegiate wooden bat team, and players come from all over to be a part of our community and entertain and excite the fans of our great National Pastime. The Colt 45s continue a tradition that has been observed in Redding for well over 100 years. From the Redding Tigers of 1911 to the Redding Browns professional minor league team of 1949, to the late, great Pat Nevins hitting one out of Tiger, across Cypress Avenue and through the window of Kinney’s Shoes, to the Colt 45s of this summer, the game of bases and balls, the game with the foul lines that go to infinity and beyond finds a home in downtown Redding on a warm summer night.

Some of my best evenings over the last 12 years have been spent with the Colt 45s and my baseball family at Tiger Field, now almost 100 years old but looking almost brand new. Former major league ballplayer, ex-Redding mayor and Redding native Rick Bosetti has put his heart, soul and back into creating a beautiful ballpark filled with baseball, barbecue, music and the joy baseball brings. Rick is the general manager, fund raiser, community liaison and chief cook and bottle washer.

New elevated stands have been erected in the last few years, and the seating is more comfortable than before. There are new dugouts, a new sound system, wider food choices – and in a nod to the digital age, Tiger Field now has WiFi. You can now watch a game on your digital device and the Colt 45s on the field.

The field manager is former major league pitcher Greg Cadaret, who just spent his spring managing the Simpson University baseball team. Greg is back with his extensive baseball skills and his undying love of the game and our community. Rick Bosetti and Greg Cadaret – that’s a great combination.

The Colt 45s are a nonprofit organization, and find many ways throughout the season to give back to our community. For two weeks every year, they sponsor Baseball Youth Summer Camp for kids ages 8 to 14. This is a partnership through Redding Recreation. Young ballplayers receive instruction and fun from the players and coaches, plus a cap, t-shirt and tickets to Colt 45s games.

And on any given night, a various local charity is honored with a portion of ticket sales, while the rest is reinvested into the organization.

More than 26,000 baseball fans came to a game last year at Tiger Field. Here’s a great reason. Colt 45s baseball is fun. There are hot dogs and peanuts and ice cream and beer. There are souvenirs and popcorn and foul balls into windshields, so don’t park too close to the field. There is great entertainment between innings. Kids with mitts and mommas and daddies and grandmas and grandpas are at THE GAME. “Hey! There’s a game tonight. Do you want to go?” You don’t have to dress to impress or be from one social strata or another. Baseball is the great equalizer – all of us are the same at the ball game. Come hang out with me this summer! I’ll show you how to keep score. See you at Tiger Field.

EXTRA PATROL

S H E R I F F ’ S T E A M O F A C T I V E R E T I R E D S E N I O R S ( S TA R S ) TWENTY YEARS AGO, at the age of 73, Elizabeth Mae Watson decided to settle down long enough to help the Tehama County Sheriff ’s Department develop its new Sheriff ’s Team of Active Retired Seniors (STARS) program.

“I’d been traveling for quite some time,” says Watson, noting that she got to Red Bluff from Tecumseh, Mich., in an old blue camper van that operated without a gas gauge, heater, cooler or radio. She settled in Red Bluff simply because “I got active in the senior center and never went back” to her Michigan home, where she’d retired as a rural mail carrier.

Twenty years later, Tehama STARS is celebrating a milestone anniversary and Watson is still organizing the 37 volunteers that make up the program. Sgt. Rod Daugherty of the sheriff ’s department says of Watson, “She’s not a football fan, but I call her the quarterback of the organization because she’s large and in charge. And everybody knows it. She runs a tight ship.”

The STARS program was developed, says Daugherty, “to get more eyes and ears out in the county.” The department had noticed a decrease in Neighborhood Watch programs and needed a new model to employ volunteers to help with community safety.

STARS uses four patrol cars to complete house watches and neighborhood observations throughout the county, from Rancho Tehama to Lake California. “I think we would have more people going out if we had more vehicles,” says Daugherty. Adds Watson, “If anything is coming up, they call dispatch, but they don’t get involved in it.”

Watson organizes patrol shifts, house watch requests and State Theatre requests for STARS to provide event security. “It’s a great place to work,” she says. “I enjoy paperwork. I enjoy keeping that in order.”

Most recently, she had the bittersweet duty of closing out the paperwork of her friends Bud Adams and Elsie Wanless, the two remaining volunteers who helped her 4 continued on page 94

open the program in 1996. “They’ve been here from the beginning and Bud and Elsie didn’t know each other before they were STARS,” says Watson. “They began patrolling together and they just hit it off. They never went anyplace without the other.

“It seemed like they were together for life, the way they acted,” says Daugherty of the romance he watched blossom between Adams and Wanless.

As Adams describes it, “It didn’t take long for me to talk her into doing patrol with me as a companion. She was as interested in it as much as I was.” Adds Watson, “They wouldn’t take any time off. They were a good couple. A good couple.”

Health issues have forced the two to step down from their duties with STARS and have necessitated life in separate assisted living facilities. Adams remains in Red Bluff with his room sporting STARS memorabilia, including a shadow box of his uniform shirt and patches created by Daugherty’s team, while Wanless has moved near family in the Bay Area.

For the duration of their service, however, STARS brought them not just love, but fulfillment in civic duty.

“They gave me something to do, something better to do than sitting around doing nothing,” Adams says. When he enrolled, he was a widower who was spending a lot of time

at the garage of Watson’s son. “I’d always been interested in police work,” he says. “I’d seen a good opportunity to get involved. It was something that we didn’t get paid for or ever thought of getting paid for. And we never turned down what we were asked to do.”

“That was their life,” Watson says of the Thursday and Friday patrols Adams and Wanless set out on. “They enjoyed patrolling around and visiting with people.” Of course, occasionally STARS are asked to participate in other ways, and Watson smiles when she says, “They enjoyed being in the parades.”

The STARS are affiliated with the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of the Corporation for National Service, organized regionally by Dignity Health. Watson helps maintain the statistics needed for the program and shows no sign of slowing down. “I just find it a very happy place to be,” she says. • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.
