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!

High fives! This month, we’re celebrating Enjoy Magazine’s fifth birthday.

Yvonne Mazzotta publisher

In the past five years, we’ve published 998 stories, and the magazine has doubled in size. Inside this issue, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know some of the people who contribute words, photos and designs to Enjoy. We also reveal some behind-the-scenes tricks of our trade, including how we choose our covers.

But it’s not all about us! Like each of the 60 editions before this, this issue shines light on some of the people and places that make our North State a beautiful place to live, work and play. Meet Maxie McCarley, a 2006 West Valley graduate who designed and constructed her wedding dress using pieces from her mom’s, mother-in-law’s, aunt’s, grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s wedding gowns.

Celebrate a Siskiyou County fall tradition with a trip to Hunter Orchards, where children hunt for the perfect jack-o-lantern and adults marvel at how its owners have embraced farming as a rewarding way of life. Or join the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers at their second annual Tri-County Fly Fishing Fair, which honors one of the North State’s most revered pastimes.

Another much-anticipated local event, the Stillwater Pow Wow, is a modern-day ceremonial gathering that reaffirms the ancient cultural values of Native Americans. The three-day dance contest and cultural fair is described by one organizer as “a celebration of life. It’s a way to maintain our cultural identity in modern times. It’s a way to take a look back in the past and hold on to our heritage, regardless of whatever tribe we’re from.”

Hunter Orchards: Pumpkin patch open every day in October from 10 am to 6 pm Take Interstate 5, 15 miles north of Mount Shasta. Take the GazelleGrenada exit and follow the pumpkin signs.

16 Enjoy October 2011

The soft ropes of vines extend across the field, flowing from hundreds of deep orange pumpkins. Children run across the way, blowing small clouds of autumn fog from their mouths as they search for their treasures, which will become this year’s jack-olanterns.

Hunter Orchards is a fall tradition in Siskiyou County. More than 1,200 schoolchildren, along with hundreds of others, will come to explore the farm developed by Kirsten Olson and her husband, John Tannaci, 22 years ago.

Small family farms are disappearing from the American visage.

Hunter Orchards is a model of how farming is still a lifestyle and tradition reaping a life of work and reward. Kirsten and John raised their family in Happy Camp, where they began a small family garden. Kirsten would sell the extra produce from their plot in front of the post office. Over the years, the family garden grew. “John and I never intended to be farmers. We just wanted to live in the woods and raise a family. But as we grew things, we loved it more and more,” Kristen says.

A 20-acre working farm came up for sale in the Shasta Valley.

They decided to be organic farmers, obtaining certification and organizing 10 acres of orchard and 10 acres of row crops. Wind breaks of unmowed field, bat boxes and water for birds created a farm friendly to local wildlife. The couple desired to be resource warriors who used the land, stressing the environmental friendliness of their venture.

“Our first crop was garlic,” Kirsten says. They still grow Klamath rocombole garlic, a hard-neck variety which needs a harsh winter and nine months to grow. This garlic is rare and gives the farm a product they can bring to market and provide something no one else brings there.

School buses and cars fill the gravel parking lot. Kirsten and John take classes on farm tours, educating schoolchildren in the basic principles of farm management and creating an excitement about farming as a career. There is much to learn here, with trees producing 12 varieties of apples, nectarines, apricots, plums, cherries and peaches, and many row crops of vegetables.

Summer through fall is filled with trips to market, from the small local Farmers’ Market to Ferry Plaza Market in San Francisco. Their market vehicle runs on biodiesel, as do all the vehicles used on the farm, with exception of the bikes they use to ride and check on various aspects of the property.

The fall weather is perfect for the pumpkins. The 3,000-foot elevation brings out the natural sugars, giving their pumpkins a wonderful taste. “We have a unique setting in being located in northernmost California,” Kirsten says.

The hay maze is full of laughter, as returning children realize the pattern has changed from the year before. Adults gather around the farm stand, looking over the fall fruits and vegetables, purchasing what they need to bring home, including jars of peach lavender jam.

Cups of homemade apple cider are finished. Weary kindergartners heft their pumpkin projects up the steps of the bus, beaming with wide smiles.

“We create an authentic, warm, friendly, autumn experience,” Kirsten says. “We want them to have a friendly time celebrating the harvest season.”

As the sun sets and autumn warmness leaves to make way for fall frost, Kirsten glances back at what her family has lovingly nurtured.

“After all this time, we have kids who came here coming back with their own kids,” she says. “I hope for them to catch the joy of farming. The more farmers, the better.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt. Shasta, 12 years ago returning from the San Diego area with his wife Monica. Together they raise their three boys and manage the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, Gary is also an adjunct professor for Simpson University.

Runway Wedding maxie mccarley ’ s wedding dress tells a story

It’s 10 o’clock on a sunny August morning in a sprawling rustic home in Cottonwood, which looks as if it’s the setting for an episode of Project Runway, with scraps of fabric and sewing notions covering the dining room table. Pieces of various wedding dresses stand guard on the fireplace and party favors sprinkle any available counter space, giving an overall celebratory vibe. A party to which anyone would want to be invited.

Maxie McCarley has just returned from a trip to Phoenix to check out apartments; she will join her soon-to-be-husband there after their fall wedding.

You may not have heard of her, but chances are, you will. continued on page 20

October 2011 Enjoy 19

This 2006 West Valley grad recently finished design school at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and, for the past few months, has been diligently working on designing and constructing her wedding dress.

“I always knew I would design my own wedding dress, obviously,” Maxie says. But more than that, she has incorporated pieces of her mom’s wedding dress, as well as her mother-in-law’s, aunt’s, grandmother’s, even great-grandmother’s into her own, the intricate bodice telling the love stories of generations.

“It’s art into life,” she says. “It’s made to be worn. I’m sculpting a piece of art on a bodice.”

She also decorated her wedding shoes with sparkling, shimmering gold crystals, and is designing her flower girl’s dress as well. She even juxtaposed family heirlooms, such as brooches and other jewelry into her bouquets.

Maxie is inspired by vintage lingerie and wanted a truly romantic dress. “It’s just like another runway—the aisle,” she says of her wedding. “And I’m the model.”

Even her reception has been impeccably designed: A 1930s continued on page 22

carnival, World’s Fair theme.

“I feel like I should have been born in the ‘30s,” Maxie says longingly. “Can’t we all just stay home and make stuff ?” She giggles and points out the cases of homemade jelly she and her mom have been canning, mostly in the middle of the night.

This is often the time when she feels the most inspired, staying up sketching until the wee hours.

These are hours she’s quite used to; as a college student, she would be up at 3 am sketching.

Maxie’s expression lights up as she talks about fashion and design, her long blonde hair angelically framing her youthful face. She’s the epitome of passionate, her talent overwhelmingly evident as she flips through her design portfolios. Maxie’s heart and soul cover every page, her designs a pure reflection of her love of fashion. “I’ve never wanted to do anything else.”

Maxie was given her first sewing kit for her 7th birthday. Her aunt, who sews and quilts, bought it for her and the two were soon sewing together daily. Maxie began to study the impressionists when she was a mere third grader. “I couldn’t spell, but I could draw,” she says. She continued her education at Shasta College, taking watercolor and art history courses. She was accepted into the Academy of Art in 2007, where she met her future husband, Jeremiah Damian, who was also a student, a photographer. Maxie says school is where you learn color theory, illustration and who you are as a designer—your viewpoint.

When talking about what she brings to the table as a designer, she sighs and leans back, almost in a dreamlike manner.

“I don’t design a look. I design for a person,” she explains. “A soft, peaceful girl, effortless, but super gorgeous.” Not unlike Maxie herself, one might say. “I don’t design for myself, but what I want myself to look like.”

She truly does look as though she belongs in another era.

According to her, society is rushed and “too casual.”

22 Enjoy October 2011

So she is out to change that.

“Couture is a dying art,” she says. “Nothing is really new except the textiles—the material. But I pull from history and reference the details of construction.” She watches subtrends and subcultures in fashion and decides on her favorites. “I think, ‘What does my closet need?’ and I create it.”

Her favorite designers include Lanvin, Chlöe and Céline, but she says many inspire her.

“I don’t watch runway shows for the models,” she explains. “I understand the back-story of each and every step—I get it.”

Maxie takes on a design in steps: Once she’s decided on a color, she moves on to fabric.

“I take the really good of every era, every style, every season; I just mix them all together. I’m pretty eclectic,” she says. “It just happens to work that way. It’s a fine line to walk where art and fashion are so ambiguous. It’s not like math; there’s no formula.”

And speaking of formulas, Maxie knows there isn’t a magic one for getting started in this business, especially in this age of the Internet where everyone’s a critic. “Yeah,” she laughs. “Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone is qualified.”

Maxie and Jeremiah will make the move to Arizona a mere two days after their wedding, but would love to call New York home someday.

Ultimately, Maxie wants to own her own boutique. Small-scale, where she knows every customer. “I’m into the love of the clothes, the fit. I’m not out to make a name for myself.”

But just in case she does, it’s Maxie. •

2 0 1 1 N ational yo -yo contest W hirls into chico

“A

William Macomber, from Oroville, age 11

round the world”? Try “bouncing all over the galaxy at warp speed.”

That’s what it will look like when the 100 best yo-yo players in the nation converge upon downtown Chico for the 2011 National Yo-Yo Contest. Since 1993, the contest has been held on the first Saturday of October at the City Plaza. Admission is free.

“When we started, we thought we’d show some kids how to play the sport, and they got so enthusiastic that it was just overwhelming,” says Bob Malowney, event organizer and director of the National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico. “Their desire to play and learn and their ability to do better was mind-blowing.”

Soon they were having contests, and before long, these contests were so popular that organizers began requiring people to qualify to compete. Now, nine contests throughout the United States ferret out the country’s top players and bring them to Chico. “We get the best of the best,” Malowney says.

The contest features two levels of competition: the Championship Division (streamed live on the Internet) and a more recreational Sport Division. To compete in the Championship Division, yo-yoers must qualify in one of nine regional contests from throughout the country.

Competitors perform a freestyle routine using long-spin yo-yos, looping yo-yos – even yo-yos unattached to the string. While music plays, they twist, turn and spin the orbs above their heads and behind their backs with dizzying precision.

Last year’s contest lasted eight hours, and spectators were riveted, Malowney says.

“It’s so impressive that nobody moves,” Malowney says. “The one warning? In past years, I’ve heard people say that they came down to watch for an hour and stayed all day. The feeling that arises from the crowd of watching these kids who’ve obviously honed a skill and a talent is just amazing.”

Among this year’s national competitors are four Chico Yo-Yo Club members, including Gentry Stein, a 15-year-old Chico High School sophomore who qualified by placing third in the 2011 World Yo-Yo Contest in Florida. He plays with the SuperG, his signature series yo-yo, which fetches upwards of $85.

“He’s a really good player and a really nice person,” Malowney says.

“He’s courteous, generous, he’s friendly – he’s just everybody’s friend.” continued on page 26 October 2011 Enjoy 25

A second stage will host the Sport Division, where people of all ages and skill levels can show off their techniques as they work their way up two 25-trick ladders. This bracket will include many more Chico Yo-Yo Club members, who have been building their skills during the Saturday club meetings. The club is headquartered at Malowney’s Bird in Hand toy store, which also houses the National Yo-Yo Museum.

Most competitors are teenagers, Malowney says, but some – including last year’s winner, Miguel Correa – are college students and beyond.

“It’s just incredible what life skills yo-yoing can teach someone. I see these people and I just know they’ll be successful,” Malowney says. “They know what it takes to be good after applying themselves in this sport, and that knowledge helps with everything else. The kick I get out of it is the ability to see these kids put in place the building blocks that make them better adults.”

When Malowney was a child, he relished how youngsters in his neighborhood enjoyed games together – flying kites, shooting marbles, playing yo-yos. Sharing that passion with this generation of youth has blessed him richly. “I’m an old guy now, and the enthusiasm that these kids have is like the fountain of youth,” he says. • National Yo-Yo Contest–October 1, City Plaza in Chico Semi-finals: 10 am to 1 pm Finals: 1 pm www.nationalyoyo.org

COME TOGETHER

stillwater pow W ow relocates to the R edding R ancheria

The Stillwater Pow Wow, a modern-day ceremonial gathering to reaffirm the ancient cultural values of Native Americans, is coming home.

After a start in Alturas and a slow migration that included Shasta College, the Redding Convention Center and the Shasta District Fair grounds in Anderson, the Stillwater Pow Wow is relocating to the Redding Rancheria.

The three-day dance contest and cultural fair will be held October 7-9 on the lower parking lot at Win-River Casino. The dancing will take place on a special grassy arbor established on the banks of Clear Creek.

“This is one of the main events to promote the Native American culture,” says Louise Davis, the Rancheria’s cultural resource coordinator, so having the Rancheria sponsor and house the Pow Wow is a natural fit.

The event opens Friday with a grand entry at 7 pm and dancing continues to 11 pm. Grand entries will be held at noon and 7 pm on Saturday and again at noon on Sunday. Admission is $1 and the Pow Wow is a tobacco and alcohol-free event.

Brian Poncho, a member of the Bishop Paiute Tribe in Inyo County who is helping organize the Stillwater Pow Wow, describes a Pow Wow as “a contemporary gathering where all tribes can come together. It’s basically a celebration of life. It’s a way to maintain our cultural identity in modern times. It’s a way to take a look back in the past and hold on to our heritage, regardless of whatever tribe we’re from.”

Such intertribal gatherings have been going on since the early 1900s, Poncho says. At any given Pow Wow, he says it is not unusual to see Native Americans from Canada, the Pacific Northwest, New Mexico, Minnesota, Oklahoma and East Coast regions.

Davis says the Stillwater Pow Wow typically attracts people from across the United States and a few from Canada. “Once it is on the Pow Wow calendar, people just schedule which ones they want to go to.”

The Stillwater Pow Wow committee has reached far and wide to enlist individuals and performers for the traditional roles. The host drum—a veteran group that serves as the house band for the dance competitions—is Mile Post 30 from Waterflow, N.M.  continued on page 30 October 2011 Enjoy 29

The dignitaries chosen to run the Pow Wow, known as the Head Staff, include Carlos Calica as master of ceremonies; Stanson Yazzio as arena director; the husband-and-wife team of Truman and Alorha Baga as the Head Man and Head Lady; and Jared Jackson as the Head Teen Boy. As it has in the past, the event will include a Miss Stillwater contest where girls between the ages of 10 and 18 compete for a crown and the opportunity to represent Stillwater at other Pow Wows. Contests also will be held to name Junior Miss and Little Miss Stillwater.

The dancers will be divided into categories by age and gender to compete for more than $15,000 in cash prizes. A panel of experienced dancers will serve as judges, and award points based on a dancer’s adherence to a minimum set of standards, his or her knowledge of the particular dance and their interpretation.

The cash prizes help defray the expenses dancers incur when they travel great distances, Poncho says.

Some $2,000 in cash will be up for grabs in the Hand Game tournament. A type of guessing game involving bones or sticks, the Hand Game is an ancient form of gambling. “It’s been played since before written history,” Poncho says. “Tribes have stories of animals playing Hand Game before humans. It was one of the first forms of commerce between tribes, when people would gamble things like shells or other commodities from their areas. Even though they spoke different languages, they all spoke Hand Game.”

Native American art, jewelry, baskets and food also are a part of the Stillwater Pow Wow, and vendors will be in action all weekend, offering up everything from beaded necklaces and feathered dresses to barbecued chicken and Indian tacos.

It’s the dancing, however, that adds the full color and energy to the Pow Wow. The committee is interested in promoting different styles of dancing and has extended invitations to hoop, Aztec and Polynesian dancers to add to the spectacle. The spotlight, though, will be on Native American dancing.

Men and women will compete in traditional and fancy dancing categories. Men also will perform grass dancing and a newer style called chicken dancing; women’s categories include jingle dancing.

Grass dancing originated among Northern Plains Indians, and its name refers to the way young men would rhythmically move about to flatten grasslands in preparation for a Pow Wow. Yarn or ribbon represents the grass swaying in the wind, Poncho says.

The men’s style of fancy dancing comes from the Oklahoma area and is a war dance. “There’s a lot of agility and it’s pretty athletic. A lot of younger men would dance it. There’s a lot of bright colors and a faster beat,” Poncho says.

Women’s fancy dancing also is an athletic style that typically features lots of color and shawls with long fringes. Poncho says the jingle dance has its roots in the tribes around Minnesota and includes long dresses festooned with bells and tin cones “that chime and clack, like rain hitting a tin roof. It was originally a healing dance for the Ojibway Indians but it got integrated into the Pow Wow circuit so anybody can dance it.” •

Beauty

By: Melissa Gulden

autumn alluring

Smoky metallic eyes.

The traditional smoky eye gets a makeover with a pop of gold or silver. For brown eyes, try gold and navy. Light eyes, go for a black/ copper combo.

Fall beauty trends

Sometimes a shift in weather is all we need to make a change to our hair and makeup routines. Here are some fall trends seen on the runway.

Bright lips.

Finally, stash those nudes away for awhile and embrace red hues, from cherry to scarlet. If you’re scared to apply straight from the tube, dab color in the center of lips and pat out with your fingers.

Winged liner and big-time lashes.

Start at the inner corner and closely trace your upper lash line. At the outside corner of your lid, straighten the line, extending it slightly. Finish by curling your lashes and adding mucho-mascara! (Try Maybelline Falsies Flared mascara.)

Perfect skin.

Fake a lit-from-within glow by smoothing on an illuminating moisturizer before lightly dabbing on a liquid foundation.

(Remember: You may need an in-between shade while your summer tan fades.)

Center part.

I love a clean middle part for a style that appears effortless. Use a root lift for a boost of body. Just make sure your color is up to par; roots are far more visible with this style.

Sleek buns.

Go for a polished updo, perfect for those days you forego shampooing. High on top or low on the neck, buns add polish and femininity.

Ponytails.

Thankfully, the super flat-ironed hair is gone!

Have some fun this fall.

Try low, high, straight or messy. Wrap your hair around the elastic or add a cool accessory for fun.

marchfourth marching band

“

Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!

”

- J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

36 Enjoy October 2011

Born out of a group of musicians and dancers who put on a Mardi Gras event in their hometown of Portland, Ore., the MarchFourth Marching Band is a vaudeville-circus-funk collective of highly skilled artists.

Dubbed M4 by the local press (a nickname that sticks to this day), they were voted Best Local Band by Portland alt-weekly readers.

After two years together, M4 put together a two-week trip to Germany for 35 people in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup. There they won Best in Show at the Altonale Festival, beating more than 50 other performance troupes from around the world.

The following year, it was time to take the show on a stateside tour.

They bought a 1984 MCI coach on eBay and did all the bus customization, converting it to fit 28 people comfortably with convertible bunk-beds, wi-fi, kitchen and roof rack. They planned and pulled off their first eight-week national tour of 35 shows in 22 cities.

M4 writes and performs its own material, drawing inspiration from a wide range of worldwide influences, such as Eastern European gypsy brass, samba, Latin, funk, afro-beat, big-band, jazz and rock music, as well as television, film, circus and vaudeville.

As electric bass player and bandleader, John Averill explains, “Our mission is to cover every possible genre of music in the world. We have our own sound. We don’t sound like any of the bands in New Orleans, but we definitely have a lot of that influence.”

The group includes a brass section of trumpets, trombone and saxophone, an extensive percussion section and an electric guitar, all flanked by stilt dancers, flag twirlers and general booty-shakers. Unlike other marching bands, they don’t use a tuba for their bass parts; instead, Averill plugs his bass into a battery-operated amplifier, leading the band while pulling the speaker behind him.

M4 members come from a variety of musical backgrounds.

“Our horn players have the most formal music training,” Averill says, “plus some of our drummers have experience in school or marching bands. I didn’t personally have marching band in my background. I’m more of a rock guy, originally. But now, I can write music for a miniorchestra, and have nine different drum parts if I want.”

Most of the band’s members are full-or part-time artists, designers and craftspeople, who design and fabricate every piece of hardware used, from the stilts to the drum harnesses (welded from recycled bicycle parts). And each individual member creates his or her unique uniform. “We’re actually a bunch of regular dorks from next door who like to dress up like superheroes and pretend that we’re playing on top of a volcano in front of millions of screaming fans.”

Some of the band’s most exciting performances have been completely spur of the moment. After their bus broke down on Vancouver Island during one of their tours, the group spent all day working with mechanics to get their ride up and running. They missed their ferry back to the mainland and were poised to miss their next gig. “We had to take what ferry we could get,” Averill recalls.

“We realized we were going to miss the festival we were supposed to play next, the first time we ever missed a show. So we decided to put on a show on the ferry. Everyone got in costume, got out their instruments and played for an hour. The ferry operator and crew were so enthusiastic and people got really into it.”

M4 has released three independent albums. “That aspect is important to us. We don’t just want it to be about the spectacle. We want it to sound like a real band that makes real music that moves you and records CDs that preserve that experience,” he says.

Nine band members wrote the 13 tunes on their most recent CD, “Rise Up.” A portion of the proceeds from the album goes to Sweet Home New Orleans, a nonprofit organization supporting musicians, Mardi Gras Indians and the Social Aid & Pleasure Club. • Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico EnterpriseRecord, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue, and Rolling Stone magazines.

Super Cooper

S hasta minis C lub G ets the S miles A lot of people judge cars by their gas mileage. Bob Wilson prefers to use grins as a gauge and he rates his classic Mini pretty high: “It gets more smiles per mile than any other car,” he says.

And the Shasta Minis undoubtedly get more smiles than any other car club in town. “If you have time for it, it gets under your skin,” Wilson says. “We go to little communities and it’s an instant parade.

Whenever we park, people come around and ask questions. That’s the fun part: the attention they bring.”

Fun is the centerpiece of the Shasta Minis, a club formed a little over a year ago, mostly to give owners an excuse to take their Minis out on the road. Its members seldom miss the chance to zip around the North State, delivering good cheer in pint-sized convoys.

“We have activities at least once a month, if not more,” says Norm

Nelson of Shasta, who is credited with forming the club. Prior to the Shasta Minis starting up, those who wanted to socialize with other Mini owners had to drive to Marin County for events organized by the Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts.

Club members like to take their little cars on big drives. Last summer, Nelson, his wife Jesse, and several others traveled up to Vancouver, B.C., for a West Coast convention of Mini owners. The club also made en masse visits to Solvang and Lake Tahoe. Recent trips have included a Weaverville car show, an outing to Railroad Park near Dunsmuir with side trips to Mount Shasta and McCloud, and a lengthy run through Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lake. During the holiday season last year, members donned costumes and visited the Veterans Home in Yountville to show off their  continued on page 40 October July 2010 2011 Enjoy 39

“The economy, power and handling make it a fun drive”

Minis, sing Christmas carols and make a generous contribution to the residents’ travel fund.

“Mostly the guys liked looking at the girls in their costumes,” Wilson says. “The money allows them to take their buses into town for outings. We thought since we like to drive, it’d be an appropriate thing. It’s just rewarding to put some smiles on the faces of those guys who gave so much.”

There were smiles aplenty this spring when some of the members exhibited their handiwork at Kool April Nites. Kids in particular were delighted by Wilson’s 1971 Mini classic that was decorated like a little fire truck, complete with a stuffed Dalmatian serving as a sentinel.

Also on hand was a police car, a yellow taxi and a miniature woody surf wagon with a surfboard on its roof. The theme cars are largely the handiwork of Steve Lowery, the owner of O2 Motor Sports on Twin View Boulevard.

Lowery had just opened his shop in 2006 and started building some cars for the Hot Autorama show in Anderson when his wife, Stacey, fell in love with Jesse Nelson’s Mini. A year or two later, after a couple more Minis had made their way through the shop, Lowery heard via e-mail of a Mini Morris pickup for sale in Los Angeles.

“My wife was in bed. It was about 1 am and I said, ‘You need to look at this thing.’ She saw the picture, fell in love with it, and that was the gateway to a stable of five Minis,” Lowery says. The pickup, one of only 500 that made their way to the United States from Australia, was at Kool April Nites hooked up to a mini (of course) teardrop trailer.

When Mini aficionados refer to classics, they are talking about the original Minis manufactured by the British Motor Corporation beginning in 1959. In America, the “classic” designation ends in 1975, since Minis produced after that could no longer meet 40 Enjoy October 2011

emission-control requirements for import to the United States.

With front-wheel drive and a gearbox attached to the engine, the Minis were considered a marvel of engineering, providing both room for a family of four (and a picnic basket) and excellent fuel economy.

In terms of popularity, they were considered the rivals of Germany’s Volkswagen Beetle. The sportier Cooper and Cooper S Mini models were introduced in 1961.

BMW took over production of Minis in 2000 and introduced the newer and slightly larger Mini Cooper models in the United States in 2002.

Wilson and his wife, Linda, each drive a turbocharged version of the BMW Mini Cooper, and it makes trips to Redding from their Lewiston home a lot more enjoyable. “The economy, power and handling make it a fun drive,” Wilson says.

Norm and Jesse Nelson each drive newer Mini Coopers but their favorite remains the little classic. “We love ’em both, but we truly love the classic. They’re unique,” Nelson says. The newer Mini Coopers are about 25 percent larger than the classics “but they still have the handling characteristics of a little go-kart. They’re remarkably good handling cars.”

And remarkably fun. • On the web: www.facebook.com/ShastaMinis

play horse

A . M eliora R anch ’ s L inkages to care P rogram

Story: Claudia Mosby

Interest

Dude, Maverick and Quintessence are more than mere horses. At the A. Meliora micro-ranch in Happy Valley, they are also facilitators of healing. A. Meliora, which began offering horticulture-assisted self-learning process programs in 2005, now also offers equine programs aimed at veterans and others struggling with trauma, grief, addiction, anger and ADD/ADHD. Ajen Busher and her husband and business partner, Jim, first met the equine trio when they were board members for DayStar Ranch, an equine-assisted therapy facility in Cottonwood.

DayStar’s founder needed to find a new home for the three horses and the Bushers agreed to take them. “We were really focusing on horticulture,” says Ajen, who uses greenhouse and indoor/outdoor garden spaces to lead participants through reflective exercises. “But when we incorporated the horses in 2010, our whole structure changed. We knew we needed to partner with other practitioners.”

So began Linkages to Care, their partnership program with community mental health professionals, schools and other businesses to provide individuals and families with therapeutic recreation programs in both equine and horticulture. Ajen says programs such as theirs are usually provided as an adjunctive to traditional therapy. continued on page 56

October 2011 Enjoy 55

The individualized programs offer participants an opportunity outside the clinical setting to build skills, increase confidence and gain what Ajen refers to as “experience-ship.”

A. Meliora’s programs are based on a model of preparation, action and reflection, says Ajen, who has degrees in healthcare administration and psychology. For instance, with the equineassisted self-learning process programs, Jim introduces an activity involving the horses, suggests concepts for contemplation, runs the activity and then allows participants to reflect upon it, looking for life metaphors in what they just experienced.

As an example, a participant may be confronted with resistance when trying to lead a horse. That experience may trigger awareness about resistance in other areas of his or her life. These insights can then be the springboard for further exploration with a therapist.

56 Enjoy October 2011

The Bushers use the principles developed by Greg Kersten, founder of Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and the O.K. Corral Series, as the foundation for their equine-assisted self-learning process programs. “Using horse behaviors in a manner that results in a therapeutic dynamic is magical,” says Jim. “Participants already have many of the tools they seek. They just need to be empowered to use them.” The horses prove to be an effective bridge to insight.

A non-combat Vietnam-era veteran, Jim was trained initially as a medic and also worked as a surgical technician in military base hospitals, where he witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by gravely wounded soldiers. Later, when he interviewed Navajo veterans as part of a national study on post-traumatic stress disorder, he learned the real importance of a holistic perspective to healing.

“When it comes to the vet population—or anyone who’s been traumatized—the ones that need it the most are the hardest ones to get here because of their anxiety,” says Busher. “As the appointment day gets closer, many talk themselves out of it, especially the younger ones who tried something new (military service) and then experienced a traumatic event.”

Jim says that people who’ve been traumatized are carrying a heavy pack. The goal of A. Meliora is to help participants let go of some of that baggage and make room for new life experiences. He says the horses play a pivotal role in this process, adding, “They’re sensitive animals. They have the ability to communicate nonverbally and to pick up on and absorb pain.”

Jim believes that being welcomed back home and supported by the community is key to a veteran’s healing. In order to make its

services available to those in need, A. Meliora has partnered with DayStar Ranch, Inc. for the Sponsor-a-Veteran program, which offers scholarships to veterans and their families. • For information on A. Meliora’s Linkages to Care program contact info@amelioraranch.com.

seeing double butte county mothers of multiples

butte county mothers of multiples

“ It’s a resource for parents of multiples to share information and act as a support group to each other…”

Durham Elementary school kindergartners will be learning their multiples early this year. Four sets of twins have begun their formal education at this rural Butte County school, leaving teachers, staff and other students seeing double as the school year gets started. While it is an adjustment to distinguish the unique personality of each twin, it will certainly not be as big of a learning curve as each set of parents made in learning to care for multiples.

“They don’t send home a manual with you,” says Tresa Larrabee, a founder of Butte County Mothers of Multiples (MOMs). While this is true for the parents of all babies, “it’s a complete different set of experiences having one baby as opposed to two,” says Katie Mitchell, the chair of MOMs. Larabee started researching how to form Butte County MOMs in 2004 after using the services of a similar group in the Bay Area upon learning she was pregnant with twins in 2002. She engaged the help friend Tina Dewey, also a

continued on page 60 October 2011 Enjoy 59

Chico mom of multiples. “The resources are more valuable when you first find out you’re pregnant, in that first year,” says Larabee. “It’s like a lifeline is being thrown out to you.”

The resources were so vital to Larabee that she knew she needed to support other MOMs in the North State. “You get a lot of advice from people who didn’t have twins and they really don’t know,” she says. A parent of multiples needs the perspective of another MOM, she says, “when it’s 2 in the morning and you have two kids crying. One of the biggest things we tell each other is ‘You’ll get through it.’”

Still, the group is more than encouraging words. Through its affiliation with regional and national networks of mothers of multiples, it also offers access to the latest research to support decision making regarding issues such as dressing multiples alike, determining if the multiples should enroll in the same school classroom and deciding how to celebrate birthday parties.

Mitchell joined Butte County MOMs when her 2-year-old twins, Bradley and Kiersten, were six months old. “Before I joined the club, the only advice I could ask my friends was how they dealt with things with one child,” she says. Today she attends playgroups with other MOMs and takes advantage of the learning seminars the group sponsors on topics as varied as breastfeeding multiples to infant CPR to scrapbooking.

“It also helped me schedule a night to myself,” she notes. “It became a thing I put on my calendar to get me out of the house.” Butte County MOMs meets on the third Wednesday of each month at the Enloe Conference Center in Chico. Each meeting is a social event combined with education.

Common with multiples is the experience of delivering prematurely.

The group is a wealth of information on coping with preemies. It even

60 Enjoy October 2011

offers a lending closet for preemie clothes and other necessities.

The group also sponsors group family activities several times a year, giving dads and other siblings a chance to feel connected. A website, monthly newsletter and Yahoo group helps keep members informed throughout the month. The Yahoo group provides online support 24 hours a day for the most vulnerable moments of parenting.

“It’s a resource for parents of multiples to share information and act as a support group to each other,” says Larrabee, noting that all members are volunteers. Even though her identical twin girls, Abigail and Jillian, are now 9 years old, “I’ll probably always be part of the club.”

Mitchell notes that members are as diverse as can be, from parents of twins, triplets and quadruplets who are single moms, coupled moms, stay-at-home and working moms. Some are in their early 20s and others are in their 30s and 40s. Multiples have been conceived naturally and through in vitro fertilization.

For Larrabee, conceiving twins was an unexpected miracle. After several unsuccessful attempts at in vitro fertilization and years of trying, she and her husband were surprised to learn that she was not only pregnant, but pregnant with twins. “I still have that double twinkle in my eyes,” she says. • Butte County Mothers of Multiples www.buttecountymoms.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff. A graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

creative and inexpensive costume ideas Back in the day, it used to be embarrassing to have a homemade Halloween costume. These days (finally!), creativity is more revered and, thanks to the Internet and people like Martha Stewart, the homemade costume has gotten a major update.

Here are some inexpensive, easy costume ideas for the kids, from items you may already have at home.

• Soccer star or Little League player. Chances are, they already have the accessories or have a friend who does.

• Spa princess. A robe, fuzzy slippers and a facial mask.

• Cardboard box accessorized like whatever you think of: paint it like dice, or glue on a remote, magazines and other end-table paraphernalia, and then stick a lampshade on his head.

• Torn-up sheets are always good for a quick mummy. Fake blood optional.

• Start with green tights or leggings and a green shirt or leotard.

Then safety pin inflated purple balloons to arms and torso and voilà! A bunch of grapes.

• “Cereal killer”: Put small boxes of cereal on a shirt with plastic knives through them.

• Dress all in blue with some cotton stuck to the outfit and carry a squirt bottle: “Cloudy with a chance of sprinkles.”

• “Chicken”: see directions on photo.

If your kids are young, consider stockpiling Halloween items as they go on clearance after the holiday. It’s a great time to get wigs, crazy makeup or other accessories you’ll need for years to come. Great for school spirit days, too, when blue hairspray comes in handy!

Although Rachael Stone made this chicken costume, including the suit underneath, she says it’s very easy to do yourself. Purchase a white leotard and white t-shirt, sew the edges together so the fabric is close to the body. Fill with batting, or stuffing of some kind, and then pin on the boa.

By its nature, fly fishing is a solo sport. It’s one angler pitting his or her casting and fly-tying skills against a trout that can be maddeningly discriminating at times. It’s a quiet, contemplative, timeless contest that anglers live for.

Get a couple of fly fishers together, however, and they’ll quickly make up for lost time, swapping stories, sharing tips, comparing flies and talking about the ones that got away.

Dick Recchia, president of the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers, is looking forward to that scenario unfolding on Saturday, October 8, when his club presents the second annual Tri-County Fly Fishing Fair at Redding’s Caldwell Park.

Some 300 attended the first Fly Fishing Fair, and Recchia says his group is expecting more than 500 this year. The free event, scheduled for 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, will feature everything related to fly fishing, including demonstrations and workshops on entomology, casting, tying flies and building rods.

And that’s just the beginning. The more than 30 exhibitors will include the Department of Fish and Game; Casting for Recovery (a program offering fly fishing retreats to breast cancer survivors);

wildlife artists like Redding’s Dave Allred and Robert Jensen; The Fly Shop; fishing lodges; and boat manufacturers.

Anglers not attracted by the vendors, displays and workshops are sure to come sniffing around the huge swap-and-sell area where they can choose from tackle, flies, rods, line, nets, waders and everything else associated with fly fishing.

Recchia has one more ace up his sleeve when it comes to predicting success for the fair: “This is the heart of Northern California fly fishing,” he says. “Hat Creek, the upper Sac, the Trinity for steelhead, Fall River, Baum Lake… within two hours drive of Redding, you have some of the best fly fishing in California.”

The Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers has 208 members and Recchia expects another 30 to 40 will sign up at the fair. Recchia hopes the club continues to attract younger members—even those whose parents may not be interested in fishing.

Recchia says the club is starting a junior program for fly tying and offers scholarships for kids to attend The Fly Shop’s five-day fish camp in Siskiyou County. “We’re expanding our program to provide them with opportunities. A lot of them come back and have nobody continued on page 66

October 2011 Enjoy 65

to take them fishing. The focus at the fly fair is to show them that they don’t need parents who fly fish to get involved.”

Earl Johnston, a 20-year member of the club, gets the younger set excited by setting up aquariums in classrooms so kids can watch trout hatch. Once the fish reach an inch in length—usually in about five weeks—the elementary school students release the fish in the Sacramento River.

“The kids really get involved in the program. It’s amazing; at their young age they take a lot of that home with them, about what’s going on in the fish tank. Especially when they start hatching. They’re really inquisitive about life in general. It teaches conservation,” Johnston says.

When he isn’t working with kids, Johnston likes to take part in the club’s “fishouts” that happen two or three times a month. Volunteer “fishmasters” scout out regional waters to learn what the fish are feeding on and then lead the group on an outing.

“It’s a great way to get guys involved in the thing. We try and fish different waters, new lakes and streams. We generally have a lunch if it’s feasible and we’ve always got coffee and donuts to start,” Johnston says.

The club started in 1974 as a small group of mostly retirees who shared a love of fly fishing, and it began to grow in numbers “because of the inclination of residents in this area to be more involved in the outdoors, camping and fishing,” Recchia says. “Once we opened up the opportunity for people to get involved with free casting and tying classes, more and more people got involved and the ages started going down.”

The classes are held at the club’s new classroom on Buenaventura Boulevard, next to the former Bobba Lou’s sandwich shop. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at the Redding Library.

Recchia, 72, says he started fly fishing when he was 15 “and I’ve enjoyed every second of it.” A native of Detroit, Recchia now makes his home in Palo Cedro on the banks of Cow Creek. He fly fishes for bass in the creek and has had luck with the “Killer Bugger,” a fly developed by club member Jan Hale.

Hale, a retired aerospace engineer who caught the fly fishing bug in the 1990s while living in Southern California, joined the Shasta Trinity Fly Fishers four years ago. She will be tying flies at the fair while her husband, Bill, gives pointers on casting.

An artist and a seamstress, Hale says fly-tying has emerged as her singular obsession. “It’s a total passion. I tie seven days a week. I try to get it at its best. You have to tie a lot until you get to a point where you feel comfortable in what you’re doing. I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning.”

Hale’s days are filled with chartreuse wire, Mercer dubbing, flashback rooster tails, amber wings, grizzly hackles, silks, tinsels and myriad feathers. “I have hundreds and hundreds of recipes for flies.

Every person ties different. It’s kind of like a fingerprint,” she says.

Jim Jensen, who retired in San Jose and moved to Redding to be closer to the good fishing, says the fishouts also provide a lot of camaraderie. “It’s fun to go out with people. When you’re done, there are lots of fish stories.” • Exceptional Living

comapny

Vaune Dillmann’s journey toward owning a brewery started decades ago, perhaps even centuries.

Indeed, many of his German ancestors worked in and around the brewing industry long before names like Budweiser and Coors were being seen on bottles and cans in the United States. He thinks he may have adopted all their passions.

Dillmann himself was born and raised in Milwaukee, once the world’s leading beer producer with breweries such as Pabst, Schlitz, Miller and Blatz. While Dillmann attended Milwaukee Institute of Technology (now Milwaukee Area Technical College) in the summers, he remembers the hops smell from the Pabst brewery periodically inundating the college.

“I always wanted to own a brewery,” said Dillmann, the founder of the Mt. Shasta Brewing Co. in Weed. “I ended up emulating all the lifestyles in my family all throughout history.”

The 18,000-square-foot brewery is home to its family of Weed Ales, including the Mountain High IPA, Lemurian Lager, Weed Golden Ale, Abner Weed Amber Ale, Shastafarian Porter and several specialty beers. The company produces some 1,200 barrels a year and distributes its products throughout the West Coast.

But Dillmann’s path to brewery ownership was no easy fermentation. The 64-year-old has had to overcome obstacles nearly as immense as the mountains that surround the business. continued on page 70 October 2011 Enjoy 69

Dillmann purchased the Medo-Bel Creamery site in Weed in1992, knowing he faced a big task in retrofitting the creamery and cleaning up contaminated soil caused by a leaking underground gasoline tank on the property. He wrote a grant and was awarded $995,000 from the California Clean Up Fund to do the work.

The painstaking restoration job took seven years and included the navigation of a sea of regulators before the property finally won approval from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

It was far from the only challenge Dillmann would face.

In 2003, Dillmann was sued by Butte Creek Brewery of Chico for the right to take the Mt. Shasta Brewing Company name (Butte Creek had patented a beer called Mt. Shasta Pale Ale). After a significant tussle, Dillmann won the suit.

Then in 2008, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau rejected the label for the brewery’s Lemurian Lager, which included the slogan “Try Legal Weed” on its bottle cap.

Dillmann, a former Oakland police officer whose wife, Barbara, is the former Siskiyou County superintendent of schools, says he’s never used marijuana in his life. He does, however, clearly understand the concepts of marketing and free speech.

The battle with the federal agency over the slogan put Dillmann on regional and national television and radio programs, and newspapers from around the world published articles on the issue. Amid pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union and others, the federal agency finally relented and now all the Mt. Shasta Brewing Company beers display “Try Legal Weed” bottle caps.

The double entendre references get weaved throughout the marketing strategy for the brewery, but they’re just one shade of the color Dillmann has infused into the business. The brewery includes an eclectic array of recycled items that blend together to create a hip design for the facility, which has included a tasting room and restaurant/gift shop since 2005.

The tasting room includes a magnificent oak bar reclaimed from Rosie’s Saloon in nearby Fort Jones. Visible through large windows from the tasting room are huge kettles and other brewing equipment from a 1938 German brewing system that Dillmann purchased from the Summit Brewery of St. Paul, Minn.

The Weed brewery also includes refurbished booths and signs from old restaurants, lighting fixtures from a Motel 6, a hospital bed, a dentist’s chair, a 1928 vintage shuffleboard and much more.

“So many people throw so much away. We’ve become a throwaway society,” says Dillmann. “Well, another man’s trash is Dillmann’s treasure. I love to mix and match and see what I can come up with. If I had to do it again, I might have gone into interior design.”

The brewery’s Weed Ales have evolved into their current tasty incarnations thanks largely to the work of former and current brewmasters Josh Riggs and Marco Noriega. Noriega, who holds a master’s degree in brewing from the University of California at Davis, says he and Riggs had but one goal while designing the beers.

“The first thing I always think of is, ‘Do I want to drink this beer?’”

Noriega says. “Could I take a keg of this to my friends and be proud of it? It’s not about getting people drunk. It’s about people socializing and having a good time and enjoying a real quality craft brew.”

A good example is the brewery’s most popular beer, the Mountain High IPA. Unlike many of today’s India Pale Ales that seem to be in an arm’s race for the strongest hops and highest alcohol content, Noriega said the Mt. Shasta Brewing Co. has instead opted for flavor.

“We said, let’s tame it down and make it more drinkable,” Noriega said. “It’s still in the category of a traditional West Coast IPA, but it has a malty background and is well-rounded and super drinkable.

That’s what we were shooting for.”

70 Enjoy October 2011

Despite all the work it has taken Dillmann to get his brewery to its current station, he acknowledges he might be willing to sell the business for the right price and one paramount requirement – that it always stays in Weed.

“I believe in enjoying life and I love the people who come in here,” Dillmann says. “This is (the brewery’s) hometown. It has to stay here.” • Jim Dyar is a freelance writer, musician and a former arts and entertainment editor at the Record Searchlight.

hope harvesting

good news rescue mission H arvest of hope banquet

Good news: Hungry and homeless people in Redding know where to find help. The North State community generously provides resources to several agencies, churches and individuals that consistently and faithfully reach out a helping hand. One of the most recognizable, the Good News Rescue Mission in Redding, serves up an average of 650 meals a day, 365 days a year, along with Friday grocery giveaways, overnight shelter and clothing. The mission also offers a free long-term recovery program and ongoing support services to help people get back on their feet.

The 3rd Annual Harvest of Hope Charity Banquet planned for Saturday, October 22, at the Holiday Inn in Redding promises to educate, enlighten and inspire guests as they listen to reports about various mission projects and programs, as well as a message of hope from keynote speaker, New York Times bestselling author Ron Hall. Community sponsors include Cronic Disaster, Mercy Medical Center Redding, Shasta Regional Medical Center and Redding Bank of Commerce. They have set a fundraising goal of $100,000.

Cesar Partida joined the mission as executive director in January after years of management experience with Cal Fire. Facing five years of deferred maintenance with many projects decades overdue, his management team now has developed short- and long-range goals to address capital improvements and maintain their daily operations.

The rescue mission remains committed to offering those in need of “hope and a hand up.” Says Ken White, Community Relations Director, “When we stand together we can meet the challenge.”

A non-profit, faith-based organization, the Good News Rescue Mission doesn’t receive any government assistance. They depend on community members to give food, clothes, volunteer time, in-kind services and financial donations.

And they depend on God. White and Partida recently shared stories about miraculous provision, like the time the cooks were preparing chicken salad sandwiches for lunch. All the ingredients were assembled and they just needed mayonnaise. When they went to the refrigerator, no mayonnaise. Lunch was to be served in short order, so they all prayed that God would help them solve the problem. Very soon, a gentleman came to the front door of the mission with a story about a food distributor whose truck had been 74 Enjoy October 2011

in an accident nearby. Could they use a case or two of mayonnaise?

And there are many more such stories.

With the economic crisis, not just the homeless seek help. People who have lost jobs and are struggling to make ends meet show up for meals and emergency groceries on a regular basis. Partida and White concur that as Joseph in the Bible, they must be prepared. “We plan for the worst and hope for the best,” Partida says. The upcoming holiday season may be tough for some, but those who can and are willing, contributions may just be an answer to their prayers. • Spotlight on Keynote Speaker Ron Hall Denver Moore lived like a wild animal until Miss Debbie loved him. Deborah Hall didn’t just serve meals at the mission in Ft. Worth, Texas; she came out from behind the serving table and touched the people in line, learned their names, made them smile and became their friend.

Until her untimely death, Deborah’s passion to “be like Jesus” led her to take risks and do extraordinary things among the outcasts of Ft. Worth. As a result, Ron Hall followed his wife’s lead and met Denver Moore. Denver began to open up as Hall persisted in caring. Hall discovered in Denver a deep well of wisdom that inspires him still.

Thirteen years later, the two men carry the torch of compassion and generosity in Deborah’s honor as they speak around the country. Same Kind of Different as Me, published in 2006, chronicles the lives and the incredible journey of a wealthy white art dealer and a homeless black cotton picker. They have published a second book, What Difference Do It Make, Stories of Hope and Healing, co-authored with Lynn Vincent.

Sandie Tillery writes about the North State from 35 years of personal experience exploring it from corner to corner with husband John, their three grown children and four grandsons. She loves interviewing the amazing people who live here and telling their stories.

Fresh thinking…

At Tops Market, freshness counts in large amounts. We take pride in working with local farms, dairies and creameries to bring you the freshest and best our area has to offer every day.

When we say something is locally grown. It’s from this county, or one of our neighboring counties, period. You can’t get any more local than that. It’s that simple.

“Whole Foods Market says a food cannot be labeled as local unless it traveled to the store in seven or fewer hours by car or truck,” according to USA Today.

In the same article it says, “Safeway defines local as coming from the same state or a one-day drive from field to store.”

Under those definitions, produce from Washington to Mexico to Arizona can be considered “local”. At Tops Market, we consider that to be more “loco” than “local.”

See, we are the local guys, the locally-owned neighborhood market.

We understand the connections between local businesses and local shoppers. That’s why Tops makes such a big commitment to local farms, dairies, and products. Supporting our friends and neighbors in the area really helps support even more local friends and neighbors.

At Tops, we think that where you spend your grocery dollars really should make the most sense. We wanted you to know that at your local Tops Market, “local” means “local,” period. Now, that’s fresh thinking!

That’s Tops Market.

How do we pick cover shots?

We look through books, other magazines, stock photographs and more to spark our creativity and come up with something that we think will attract a reader’s eye. Our two rules are that the photographs are local, and that they include a human element of some kind – sometimes it’s a group of people, other times it’s just a hand or eyes, but every cover includes a local model. The only exceptions- three covers during our first year were stock photos and our fourth anniversary issue was an illustration custom made for us (which was also the only time the cover has not been an actual photograph). Most of the people who are featured on our covers are people the photographer knows or people we ask them to photograph. We usually ask the photographer for a specific shot – but sometimes we just ask them to run wild with their creativity.

We’ve had employees, employees’ family members, friends and friends of friends grace our covers. Two young ladies have been our covergirls five times.

Grace McNeight-Anderson held a cake on our October 2007 cover, she was seen picking an apple from a tree on the October 2008 cover, it was her hands holding the Valentine hearts on the February 2011 cover. Her feet and legs were in the pretty shoes and green tights on our April 2011 cover. She could be seen running through a almond orchard on the April 2010 cover.

Marcelle Benedict was laying on a boat dock on the July 2007 cover (the very first cover Kara Stewart did for us), her hands were holding a watering can on the March 2008 cover, she was on a tire swing on the April 2009 cover, on a swing on the August 2011 cover, and she was holding an umbrella on our June 2009 cover.

Movin’ on up How many pages?

The first year, our page-count average was 53.3 pages per issue.

This year, we have averaged 92 pages per issue.

Hot shots PHOTOGRAPHERS: James Mazzotta was our main photographer for the first several months. Many times we would ask people to provide photos for stories about them or their organizations. Kara Stewart came on board in July 2007 as our go-to photographer for editorial and cover photos and is still going strong. Now we have several “regular” photographers and many new ones waiting for us to give them assignments.

True believers Advertisers – who has advertised the longest? Mercy Medical Center - Redding, Shasta Regional Medical Center, The Real Estate Group, Dianne Turney, Ron White, Estate Granite, Gold Ribbon Construction, MD Imaging, Tri-Counties Bank and Redding Bank of Commerce advertised in our first issue and still advertise today. Cosh Chiropractic, Results Radio, Kalin Maple, Carl Van Dyke, Disappearing Act, Palo Cedro Pharmacy, Physicians Plan, Healthy Shasta, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, House of Design, Dr. Rooney, Fabrics Etc. began advertising shortly after and are still consistent advertisers.

Jingle all the way When most people are still out at the lake, we are planning for Christmas. Stories are assigned at least three months ahead of publication, and they are turned in to us six weeks before the magazine is published. We spend the next three weeks assigning photographers, designing pages, writing headlines and finalizing advertisements before the magazine heads to the printer around the 15th of the month. They are delivered to us 8 to 10 days later, and they hit the stands as soon as we get them.

October 2011 Enjoy 79

Storytelling Biggest issue?

December 2010, May 2011 and October 2011 (this issue) all have 104 pages Smallest issue?

Started with 48 pages How many stories? 998

First class In our first issue, local businesses had no idea what Enjoy Magazine was, or whether it would be successful. These adventurous and trusting businesses signed on to advertise with us, sight unseen. With each issue, more people began to realize the value of spending their limited advertising dollars with Enjoy, and we are thrilled when we hear them say that customers found out about them in this magazine. Without them, this effort would not be possible.

The first Enjoy Movies in the Park was scheduled to start on June 5, 2009 but was rained out. The following Friday, June 12,we set up the equipment at Caldwell Park, started the movie, The Sandlot and then encountered a horrific rain storm and had to stop about half way through.

Oh the places you will go Editors’ Picks – In 2010 Kerri and Ronda drove more than 8,000 miles, exploring 13 counties for the Editors’ Picks features.

Talent scout We recruited most of the writers for our first issue from Simpson and Shasta College’s journalism programs. Soon writers began coming out of the woodwork, impressed with our publication and offering to write for us.

Many of our writers from our very first year still contribute to this publication.

Not bad for 61 The October issue is our 61st issue.

Enjoy the Store is celebrating its first year in business as we celebrate 5 years at Enjoy Magazine.

The first sale in Enjoy the Store was on October 8, 2010.

What’s Cookin’

By Lana Granfors

Photo: Kara Stewart

Baby Buffet If asked today whether I made baby food for my son, I would say, “I wish I had!” Today, I would do things quite differently.

To prepare for this piece, I walked down the baby food aisle, checking out labels. Not really surprised, I found preservatives, sugar and salt listed. You can find many recipes and methods for preparing baby food online, and there are great cookbooks out there, even a new one by one of my favorite TV chefs, Tyler Florence. It is really quite easy. You’ll need a food processor, a blender or a simple food mill. Fancier machines are available, such as a Beaba Baby Cook, which defrosts, steams and blends in one bowl, but it is pretty pricey.

Making your baby homemade food will be rewarding (economical & eco-friendly too!). The first time you make baby food for your little one, you’ll be hooked. And, more importantly, serving homemade baby food and encouraging children to eat new flavors will create lifelong, healthy eating habits. Try using local farmers’ markets products – the produce is so fresh and you control what is going into your baby’s food.

It’s also easy to start incorporating meat into your baby’s diet. Organic chicken and ground meat are readily available now at most markets. It’s easy to puree into a smooth consistency with veggies. For chicken, poach until cooked through. Dice into small pieces and process with some of the cooking liquid. Do the same with squash or sweet potato and combine them to make a smooth mash. You will end up with extra, which you can freeze and store using ice cube trays or small containers such as Baby Cubes (small, portion sized, BPA-free containers with lids). The process is not complicated or time-consuming. You will need only about an hour per week to prepare a week’s worth of healthy, fresh food for your baby.

A few key points to remember before making homemade baby food and introducing solid foods: 1. Consult your pediatrician prior to beginning any new food for your infant. Some may suggest using the “four-day wait” rule – give your baby the same new food for four days, introducing one new food at a time to allow a test for allergies. 2. Always use clean hands, cooking utensils, preparation surfaces, pots, pans, etc. to ensure safety. 3. And finally, all babies are different and will not like the same foods or textures. But don’t despair – just be willing to experiment to find the foods your baby likes best. 4. Here are just a few simple homemade baby food puree recipes. Try different fruits or vegetables to find your baby’s favorites.

BABY BREAKFAST 6-8 months 2- 3 just-ripe nectarines 1⁄8 cup rice cereal or baby oatmeal PREPARATION Peel and dice the nectarines. Boil or steam in shallow water

until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Blend in food processor with ½ cup cooking liquid until smooth. Freeze in ice cube trays. Mix 3 ice cubes (defrosted) with 1⁄8 cup rice cereal or baby oatmeal. Add additional water if necessary.

BABY LUNCH 6-8 MONTHS 2 sweet potatoes 1 cup diced cauliflower PREPARATION Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Clean and dice cauliflower.

Boil or steam veggies until cooked through and soft, about 15 - 20 minutes.

Blend with ½ to 1 cup cooking liquid in a food processor. Add cooking liquid until smooth. Freeze excess. Combine 3 cubes (defrosted) with 1⁄8 cup rice cereal or baby oatmeal. Add additional water if necessary.

BABY DINNER 8-10 MONTHS 1 boneless skinless chicken breast 1 cup baby spinach (frozen or fresh) 1 cup frozen peas (or fresh if you can find them) ½ c shredded cheddar cheese PREPARATION Cube chicken and poach in boiling water until cooked

through, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken. Add spinach and peas to cooking liquid until soft and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, spinach, and peas to a food processor and add ¾ cup of the cooking liquid.

Blend until smooth. Add cheese and blend until melted in. Reserve what you need and freeze the remaining food.

OTHER VEGGIE COMBOS These combos are great together, or try mixing

these into yogurt or cereal.

SOME OF OUR FAVORITE ENJOY STORIES

BILLY & PATRICK’S TOP 10 PICK Billy: “This is so tough... so many great ones! I wish I could remember them all. I guess my favorite would have to be the article done on us! We were blown away that Enjoy would even do a story about our show and partnership. As cool as being on the cover of The Rolling Stone. Cooler! Thank you Kerri Regan for the story and Kara Stewart for the great photography. We were honored.”

PATRICK: “I am of course partial to the article on Billy and Patrick mornings, but I love to read all the profiles on local residents.

That’s what makes Enjoy so great...there are always new and interesting PEOPLE to go with all the new and interesting places we discover.”

“Go back in time with the legends of country music.

1. “Falling For You: McCloud Falls” (July 2010)

by Gary VanDeWalker. The description he gives of the falls romances you into thinking you are there. An excerpt: “Mt. Shasta looms between the tree branches as the quiet of the water belies the power it possesses before moving into a narrow rock channel, churning into a white froth before plunging into a deep emerald pool below.” ~Yvonne

My favorite story is “Christmas Wish” by Melissa Mendonca about Carrie’s tree that delights motorists on I-5 near Jellys Ferry Road (December 2010). The intention behind this decorated tree was a curiosity and the story solved the mystery. The story also appealed because tradition and committed friendships surrounded this deeply rooted testament of joy. ~Suzanne I’m sure like everyone else this is a tough decision. But my favorite would probably be “Be Boulder” (August 2011) by Gary VanDeWalker because it involves one of my favorite activities, rock climbing. We were able to find some great climbing spots from some of his suggestions. ~Matt

Her request was denied and the tree withered and died. Not long after, Carrie did, too, at the age of 93, but not before exclaiming to many friends that she would reincarnate herself as a tree.

Her good friends, Cary and Ruth Chadwick, mourned her loss.

But through their sadness they looked up one day to see that the old, scraggly tree on I-5 that Carrie had loved so much and tried to save was suddenly green and growing again. They recognized their old friend.

Cary and Ruth began decorating the tree in Carrie’s honor. It became an annual undertaking. As Cary and Ruth aged, their friends the McClures took over. Larry pruned the tree one year so it could take on a fuller, less scraggly look. They purchase the decorations at the after-Christmas sales and hold on to them all year long so they can go out each year on that Tuesday before Thanksgiving, rain or shine. “Every year we get all scratched up as we’re doing it,” says Dale, noting that the thorns on the tree grow long and dangerous.

The couple has been stuck in the mud and spun out while they were decorating and have even been hovered over by a California Highway Patrol helicopter and told they needed a permit to do their work. But they’ve also found a big bag of Hershey’s kisses and a wonderful note of appreciation at the base of the tree when they’ve gone out. A CHP officer has stopped by in a cruiser to tell them they are fine – but to hurry it up. Motorists honk and wave in excitement.

Why do they do it? “It’s tradition!” says Dale. And it’s Carrie’s Tree, a true testament to the joy that trees bring to all our lives, not only at Christmas, but year-round. • Dale

For North State residents who don’t buy into the notion that the holidays start in early October when Christmas items share shelf space with Halloween candy in store aisles, there’s a much more colorful harbinger of the season. On the east side of Interstate 5 near Jelly’s Ferry Road just north of Red Bluff, a small scraggly tree gets gussied up in ribbons and bows and delights drivers from late November through the new year.

“We try to get it decorated the Tuesday before Thanksgiving for all of the Thanksgiving travelers,” says Dale McClure, the Cottonwood resident who rounds up the decorating crew each year with her husband, Larry. “At this point we have people from as far away as Los Angeles who tell us they look forward to seeing the tree when they drive through.”

And while people often exclaim, “I love that tree!” the inevitable next statement is a question: “Why do they do it?” And then, “Who does it?” While its charm is in being such an utter surprise on an otherwise uninteresting stretch of Interstate 5, there’s still the inevitable concession that the tree has a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree quality to it. It’s a thorny tree that has long lost its leaves by November. Like all good local lore, though, this one has a spirit of magic and triumph.

The McClures are the second generation of tree-keepers in this project that has been happening since 1967. “We just took it over and didn’t think too much about it,” says Dale. What they took over is known as Carrie’s Tree.

Carrie Bogue was a Cottonwood resident and descendent of area pioneers who

Rejection. Body image. Invisible. Unpretty. Heartbreak.

Codependent. Unloved.

These fears and insecurities once hung like weights upon these people’s souls. And then Tommy Corey wrote those words on their bodies, photographed them for an online gallery, and watched their fear turn to power.

Corey, a 2005 graduate of Enterprise High School in Redding, was overwhelmed with despair after a rash of teen suicides last fall.

Because he too was bullied as a teenager, the photographer decided to fight back in the way he knew best – speaking through his camera.

Since October, The Self-Worth Project has amassed nearly 10,000 worldwide Facebook fans. About 200 people have posed for photos.

Using a purple permanent marker, he wrote “GIRLS” on his brother Mikey’s forehead, and the resulting photograph captures Mikey screaming in frustration. (Part of that frustration was directed at Corey, who then made his first adaptation of the project – use dryerase markers instead.)

After taking a few more photographs, he posted them on his

personal Facebook page. Some friends said his images brought them to tears. Others asked to pose for photos. And when Corey established a Facebook page for the project itself, many, many people shared his work with their friends and families.

Some people’s words represent insecurities, while others encompass medical disorders or identity issues surrounding race, gender and religion. “It proves how we all have something that keeps us awake at night,” Corey says. “The feeling of insecurity is so universal.”

One woman has “eating disorder recovery” written on her abdomen. Another holds colorful balloons, smiling broadly with with the words “pretending I’m OK” written on her outstretched arm. A woman with “domestic violence” on her chest sits in darkness amidst a sea of candles. A muscular man sits on the ground with his shirt off, revealing the words “not capable” alongside a scar that runs from mid-back to below his waistband, his wheelchair in the distance. Sometimes he plans the photos in advance, but “most of the time I’m just spitballin’,” he says with his trademark wit.

occupation owner clear creek soaps

WHAT’S IN STORE clear creek soaps After falling in love with a Hawaiian line of soaps, Roberta Busher embarked upon a mission to create her own line of natural body products. She is the founder and proprietor of Happy Valley-based Clear Creek Soaps, which include hand-cut soaps, muscle rubs, solid lotion bars, foot rubs, lip balms and more. You can find her natural, skin-friendly products - made completely from scratch - at Enjoy the Store.

How did you start making soaps, and how did it evolve into a business?

Whenever I would travel, I would pick up soaps to bring back as gifts. About 10 years ago while I was in Hawaii, I visited a craft show on the beach and found some handmade Hawaiian soaps that looked nice and smelled nice. I bought half a dozen, and gave five away and kept one for myself. When I showered with it, I was immediately enthralled with it - it was the best soap I’d ever used.

I found their website, and there was a tutorial on how they made it. I went to library and checked out some books on soap making, and started studying different ways to make it. I studied it for about three months before I decided to take the plunge and make my first batch. I started giving it away, and people started wanting more, and then they wanted to start paying for it. That’s how it has evolved to what it is now.

How are your products different than something we might find in a big-box store?

I start with olive, coconut and palm oils. In commercial soaps, the natural glycerin is stripped out of it, and then propylene glycol and other items are added, so it becomes a detergent. Mine is not a glycerin soap, but it creates its own natural glycerin. It has a milder pH and is longer lasting. It lathers and doesn’t strip your skin dry like a commercial detergent bar does, and it’s not machine-made.

What sorts of ingredients do you use in your products?

I use all food-grade oils. My olive oil, I get in Corning. I get goats’ milk in Cottonwood, and honey in Redding.

A lot of my ingredients are locally produced. It’s nice that I have people to draw from who are local. My beer soap probably contains the most unusual ingredient - beer adds a very nice lather to the soap.

We hear that your products aren’t just for people.

I developed a doggy line for my dog, Tyson. He is a toy fox terrier mix, and he’s a hunter, so during deer season when he’d come home from my husband’s hunting club, he desperately needed a bath - he’d been running through the brush and was full of fleas and ticks. I developed this soap that would be easy on his fur and skin, later up nicely, get rid of the fleas and ticks, then rinse clean so it wouldn’t cause skin problems. He also has hot spots, so I developed a balm that is not only good for paws, but soothes any irritations they have. I’d rub it on him and he would stop messing with the hot spots.

What is your favorite product?

I really like the foot rub and the loofah soap. I cut the center of a loofah out and put the soap in, so it’s a soap and loofah all in one. I go barefoot a lot in the summer, so I use the loofah and then the foot rub. I also lift a lot of heavy boxes, so I use the muscle rub.

As a mammographer at MD Imaging, I see the rewards of early breast cancer detection every day. As a breast cancer survivor, I can relate to some of the fears and anxieties that our patients may feel. I am passionate about my job and it is so motivating when I hear a patient tell me how much they appreciate the work that we do.

Giving Back

Story: Kerri Regan

think norcal annual think pink day Fifteen years ago, a trio of people who hate breast cancer decided to do something about it. Oncologist Michael Figueroa, Carol Lake and Melody Christenson knew that early detection saves lives, so they gathered up some donations, filled 500 bags with educational materials and handed them out.

Thus was born Think Pink Day, a breast cancer awareness campaign that has caught on all across the United States.

This year, more than 40,000 bags will be handed out in the North State on Think Pink Day, and millions more will be distributed nationwide in the communities that have embraced this effort.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the annual highlight is Think Pink Day, set for October 20. Long before daybreak, volunteers will begin handing out bags to those who drive

by MD Imaging on Court Street and the U.S. Post Office on Churn Creek Road.

“A lot of people don’t realize that Think Pink started right here in Redding,” says Think Pink Spokesperson Michelle Slade.

The day will be filled with activities to raise awareness of the importance of early detection. Breast cancer is 98 percent curable if caught in an early stage, Slade says. Monthly self-exams, annual exams by a doctor and mammograms are among the ways that Think Pink organizers encourage women (and even men) to stay vigilant against the disease. The prognosis gets more grim the longer breast cancer goes undetected.

An army of volunteers helps stuff the 40,000 pink bags, including families and local businesses (some of which send their entire staffs), Slade said. This assembly line process used to take two weeks. Last year, it took less than four days, Slade says, crediting a streamlined system and plenty of helpers.

102 Enjoy October 2011

On Think Pink Day, the line of cars to pick up bags can stretch out for blocks. In the interest of minimizing traffic, organizations and businesses who wish to reserve bags ahead of time can pre-order them with a form on www.norcalthinkpink.org, and a representative can take advantage of a special traffic lane to pick them up.

Previous years’ bags have included calendars, shower cards, nail files, antenna balls and more. “Each year is a little different,” Slade says. Sixteen businesses donated items for the bags, and many others have contributed money for the pink carnations that are handed out with the bags.

Then, for the third year, the Sundial Bridge will be lit up in pink lights, starting at 7 pm October 20. It will be brighter and more dynamic than ever before, Slade promises. More than 2,000 people attended last year, and more are expected this time around, so visitors are encouraged to carpool or to consider walking or cycling to the bridge using the new Dana-to-Downtown trail.

Think Pink is funded entirely by the community.

“It’s something our community is really proud of,” Slade says, “and we have volunteers lining up to help.”

My passion is art glass. The colors and textures of handmade glass have inspired me to create a beautiful item that has a balance of color and design. I started as a stained glass artist 30 years ago and have been working with hot glass for the past 9 years. The glass I use is hand made by Bullseye, an Oregon company.

Metal Fish

These two and three dimensional salmon and bass are made to either hang on the wall or stand on their own. These guys are made entirely from 16 gauge steel, from which the ‘whole fish’ is made.

The color is created by the use of heat, then sprayed over with a clear coat for protection.

Nanette earned her title of Mom by raising four children. With a culinary arts degree and having owned a bed and breakfast, she looked for the unique in both food and crafts. She knits, crochets, weaves, sews and paints, and of course cooks. Born and raised in the area, she enjoys the bounty of Northern California.

Honey

My goal is to provide you with a quality honey that comes from a local hive and to maintain that hive throughout the years for its health and production of honey, and at the same time help pollinate our little piece of the world.

I’ve always been interested in photography. When we lived in Pennsylvania, I started photographing birds, mostly for identification. The more details I get in a shot, the more in awe of God’s creation I am. And many times, I see what a great sense of humor He has as well!

Why not have a cutting board with the beauty & durability of one of the hardest surfaces on Earth?

You can cut on granite, serve cheeses and/or any appetizer, have a Lazy Susan, and richly decorate your home with it. These cutting boards are available in custom sizes, styles, and shapes.
