Why ThermiRF and ThermiSmooth? Through the years, our face and body begin to reveal the signs of aging:
frowning, wrinkling, bulging or sagging. Patients increasingly gravitate towards cosmetic solutions that deliver results superior to non-invasive or over-the-counter treatments, but absent the risks associated with invasive surgery.
What is ThermiRF? The first FDA cleared aesthetic device
that uses temperature controlled radio frequency energy to achieve desired cosmetic result. This is a non-surgical, micro-invasive procedure with minimal downtime.

What is ThermiSmooth?
ThermiSmooth is a noninvasive procedure that uses a unique hand piece to deliver targeted precise heating to the surface of the skin. The technique stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen over time. ThermiSmooth treatments are gentle and patients often compare the procedure to receiving a warm massage.

the glam-mamma, Maria Most memorable purchase: Crystal Stevens, Create Freedom jewelry Shopping at Enjoy the Store gives me a sense of giving back and helping in a bigger way than buying a gift or making a basket. The crew at Enjoy the Store knows exactly what I want, whether it’s a basket full of soaps, truffles, wine or wall décor. I couldn’t ask for a better variety of hometown goodies. I love when I buy a special jewelry accessory that has a bigger purpose behind the purchase. I bought a bracelet and found out that the artist created the jewelry with the intent of donating a portion of the proceeds to help end human trafficking. It made me feel as though I made a difference. Thank you, Enjoy the Store, for celebrating our local artists and giving us so many items to choose from.

Happy birthday, USA! How are you making your American dreams come true? One big dreamer is Elyse Kierig, who has learned more at age 18 about running a business than many of us will ever know. She’s the namesake of For Elyse, and her contagious positive energy keeps customers coming back. Ready for some old-fashioned summer fun? The Siskiyou County Golden Fair will have enough cotton candy, carnival rides and critters for the whole family to enjoy. Or take a trek up Lassen Peak – perhaps you’ll run into 9-year-old Zach Brunner, who raised money to build the trail that leads to the top. We’re inspired by the selfless generosity of Dr. Gurpreet Sandhoo, who has been providing a made-from-scratch Indian meal for people at the Good News Rescue Mission twice a year, in honor of her late son and father. “I do believe in sharing, and this brings so many people together to share a meal. We all get a lot in return,” Sandhoo says. Need a little more music in your life? Check out The Usual Suspects Little Big Band, a motley crew of folks who are serious about jazz. If you’d rather sing the blues, the Stone Foxes will soon be playing locally – and if you bring non-perishable food items to the show, they’ll donate them to a food bank. Our series on downtown areas continues this month with a look at McCloud – you’ll love its blue-ribbon trout stream, waterfalls, golf course and quaint businesses. Don’t forget to join us for Enjoy Movies in the Park, which will be at the Anderson River Park amphitheater in July. Movies start at dusk every Friday. Visit www. enjoymoviesintheparkredding.com for more information. Happy Independence Day, and enjoy!

A Passion For Service Shasta College was an awesome start to my academic career. The professors were exceptional, and every bit as good as at the other institutions I attended. Unlike my larger university experiences, the professors at Shasta College seemed to take more of an active interest in my success or failure. I still recall Professor Dalrymple (English 1A/1B) and Professor Dr. Gibbs (Poli Sci) who opened my mind to a larger world view while Mr. Bertucci and Mr. Hansen triggered my interest in the world of science. My experience at Shasta College broadened my mind and challenged me to explore the “larger picture,” both globally and locally. As a result, I could see the needs in our society that were going unmet and resolved to make a difference through civic and community involvement. Shasta College planted the seed which has allowed me to make a difference in our community through service to others. I’m fortunate to have started my education at Shasta College: the quality of education is excellent, it’s local, and it’s affordable! Shasta College continues to be a very real asset to our community and will continue to be an important player for bringing more employers to the area, especially as the programs (like the new 4 year degree) expand.

The Call of the Mountain T H E G E N T L E PA C E O F L I F E I N M c C LO U D
OLD-TIMERS SAY the mountain chooses you. That’s what Cindy Miller’s been told, and she says it holds true in her case. “People will come up and visit and they might not come back, while others will do everything they can to get back. Like us.” Miller, her husband, Charlie, and their two children left Mendocino County three years ago to make McCloud their home. “It’s just a nice small town and it’s very inviting. People are very inviting and open and supportive,” she says. “It’s a simpler life and it’s absolutely beautiful. Things are slower; you don’t have to worry about kids riding their bike to the park or home from school.” The mountain and its calm and reassuring presence called to the Millers, but so did the gentle pace of life, the constant scent of pine in the fresh air and the blue, effervescent waters of the nearby McCloud River. The mountain called to Aubrey Remley 11 years ago and
she answered by bringing her brood—a husband and four kids—to McCloud. She now operates the popular White Mountain Café. Her thoughts on life in McCloud: “It’s the most wonderful place I’ve ever lived.” Although California’s persistent drought has curtailed downhill skiing at the Mt. Shasta Ski Park for the past two winters, the mountain continues to be the dominant attraction in the area, drawing climbers, hikers and backcountry skiers throughout the year. The river, with its nationwide reputation as a blue-ribbon trout stream and easily accessed waterfalls, is another big draw, as is McCloud Reservoir and the friendly nine-hole McCloud Golf Course. McCloud is a mill town in the classic mold, and its streets and buildings reflect that heritage, from the rows of former company homes to the beautiful timbers and bountiful wood used in the shops, hotels and inns.4 continued on page 20

Robin Hickman, a thirdgeneration McCloud resident, appreciates the sense of community. “We take care of each other. If somebody is in trouble,
you pitch in.
That’s how we are…”
Its history dates back to 1829, when a group of Hudson Bay Company trappers, under the direction of Alexander McLeod, made its way through the area. They were believed to be the first non-indigenous visitors. A few of them homesteaded, including Joaquin Miller, the so-called “Poet of the Sierras” who went on to live a life of considerable acclaim as a poet and frontiersman. The first mill was erected in McCloud in 1892, but it failed due to the inability of oxen to haul lumber over the hills to population centers. The town of McCloud was formally established in 1897 when George Scott and William VanArsdale— founders of the McCloud River Railroad Co.—purchased a group of small mills and started using their railroad to transport the finished lumber. The new McCloud River Lumber Company owned the town and all of its homes. If you didn’t work at the mill, you couldn’t live in McCloud, according to Paul Reichow’s “AllThingsShasta”

blog. The homes were steam-heated and electricity was furnished by the mill, which came to be known as Ma McCloud. Those halcyon days ended in 1963 when U.S. Plywood purchased the mill, the railroad and the town. Homes were sold to their occupants for $5,000 apiece. After merging with Champion Plywood, the company struggled to keep the mill viable and finally closed it in 1979. P&M Cedar Products acquired the mill in 1980 and operated it until 2002. The mill closing and the loss of good jobs was a blow to the community and it forced several families to relocate. Losing even a few folks will leave a mark on a town of about 1,200 residents. Darlene Mathis, vice president of the McCloud Chamber of Commerce and proprietor of the McCloud Mercantile Hotel, remains positive about the town she has called home since 2000. “It’s a great place to raise a child,” she says, noting how her son, Tanner, flourished at McCloud’s 4 continued on page 22

elementary and middle schools. “I think kids become a little moreindependent growing up here. They can walk, ride their bikes—it’s an old-fashioned way to grow up.” Robin Hickman, a third-generation McCloud resident, appreciates the sense of community. “We take care of each other. If somebody is in trouble, you pitch in. That’s how we are,” says the owner of the McCloud Beauty Shop. She points with pride to the community-wide response in April when an 86-year-old woman got lost while walking her dog in the nearby woods and spent five nights in below-freezing temperatures before a search crew found her. “No one would want their grandmother lost,” says Hickman, a mother of three. “When they found her alive, this whole town was abuzz. But that’s the way this town is. If anybody needs anything, people step in. I hope we never lose that.” Hickman, like Mathis, shares the hope that industry will again find its way to McCloud and they’re encouraged by the efforts of Bruce Berlinger and his McCloud Partners investment group, who purchased the mill property and are planning to build a boutique water bottling plant and create other uses for the site. New jobs will bring new families to McCloud and help offset the growing population of retirees and second-home owners who use the town as a stepping-off point for fishing and other outdoor adventures, Hickman says.

Aubrey Remley also would like to see an influx of younger people, but she’s not exactly worried any newcomers would change McCloud’s tranquil nature. As it is, “it’s so quiet, you can hear a bear breathe,” she says with a smile. Patric and Susan Brush, who moved to McCloud five years ago to be near the fishing and the mountain, recently created their own industry with the opening of Siskiyou Brew Works. The microbrewery and pizza restaurant is tucked into the iconic Red Barn building adjacent to Dance Country RV Park. The retired log scaler, who learned about craft brewing while stationed in Germany, makes a point to spend a part of each day in the woods. His wife, who runs a hair salon, appreciates the close-knit community she refers to as a diamond in the rough. • www.mccloudchamber.com

fashion forward E LY S E K I E R I G D E S I G N S A L I F E I N T H E FA M I LY B U S I N E S S FOR MOST PEOPLE, finding their true calling is a lifelong process. It can take years of soul searching, trial and error, an inner struggle marked by waxing and waning levels of confidence, and quite often, a series of poor choices. And then, one day, the path appears – almost as if it had always been there - waiting for the right amount of wisdom and strength to reveal it. There are others whose purpose emerges early in life – those who recognize the power of embracing their innate abilities. Meet Elyse Kierig. Having grown up as an active participant in the family business, the recent high school graduate has learned more in 18 years than many would in a lifetime about running a business, responsibility and building and nurturing relationships. Elyse was only 2 years old when her mom, Amber, and dad, Jeremy, launched a small boutique called For Elyse in Chico. As Elyse grew, so did the business. In 2008, the Kierig family launched a second location of For Elyse in Redding. “Elyse was literally raised in this business,” her mom says. “She used to run back and forth to pick up inventory, tag items and do anything else she was able to do before she was old enough to be on the sales floor. She got a good feel for merchandising during that time. When she was 4 continued on page 26

little, she used to attend trade shows with me. I remember all of the vendors asking her to try on the shoes because her feet were so small and she could fit into the sample sizes.” For the last two years, Elyse has worked on the sales floor at For Elyse, nurturing her innate talent of working with customers, touching their hearts with her genuineness and making them smile along the way. “Off the bat, I don’t tell people that I am Elyse. I don’t want to be treated differently from the other employees at the store. I am honored to know that when I see people out and about wearing clothing from our store, they look great. And when you look good, you feel good,” says Elyse. Happiness radiates from within as Elyse welcomes each customer with a kindness that simply can’t be taught. She humbly admits that her circumstances have been different. Her outgoing personality—which she says is her contribution to For Elyse—has been nurtured all along. “I get it from my dad,” she says, a smile lacing every word. “My whole life, my parents would take me along as they traveled and it gave me a whole new perspective.” “She loves her job and has always had great rapport with the customers, even as a little girl. We really put a lot of effort into training, merchandising and style trending with our employees. Elyse has been attending those meetings since she was 4 years old,” says Amber. The team meetings have taught employees to be far more than traditional sales associates. They create beautiful color-themed displays and apply techniques that are akin to those of fashion stylists in their daily interactions. “If a customer selects an item, we can conceptualize an entire outfit based upon it,” says Elyse. According to Elyse, time management is the most important lesson she has learned along the way. “It’s hard to balance work, school, family and a social life, but I’ve been able to find a way. My mom is one of the most inspiring people I know. If you knew what she did every day – and that she still makes time for her family—you’d be amazed. Through everything, she puts me first.”
26 | ENJOY JULY 2015
Through and through, For Elyse is a family business. “My dad does a lot of the behind-the-scenes things. My grandma works here in the office,” says Elyse. It can be a balancing act between being an employee and the boss’s daughter, but Elyse wouldn’t have it any other way: “I love working with my mom.” Elyse insists her greatest challenge is the age difference between herself and the other employees. “I have to prove to myself and the others that I can handle the level of responsibility I am given here at the store. I’m not just here because I’m the owner’s daughter, but because I work hard. I don’t want anything handed to me.” Having seen her mom build a business and watching it grow right along with her, Elyse has developed a strong work ethic. She has every intention of carrying on the family business. “The idea is to open one more store with my mom and carry on what she started,” she says. Last year, Elyse and her mom took a trip to Europe, where Elyse worked with the design consultants that help bring Amber’s concepts to fruition. She attended her first fashion show as an adult in Paris and visited London, style watching all the way there and back. In February, Elyse went on her first official buying trip to Las Vegas. “My dad is pushing me to start designing clothing, but what I really love is getting to know the customers,” says Elyse. She can’t pinpoint her most memorable experience: “It’s the relationships I’ve built. I remember every customer and their story.” • For Elyse: 228 Broadway Street, Chico • (530) 893-0106 1712 California Street, Redding • (530) 246-4900 Forelyse.com Find For Elyse on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pintrest Kimberly N.

how does your
Garden Grow F I N D I N G CO M M U N I T Y AT E S K ATO N G A R D E N SHOW ME YOUR GARDEN AND I SHALL TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE. —Alfred Austin A GARDEN IS A MAGICAL PLACE. From its first beginnings in Eden, the garden has been a source of life, community and the wonder of creation. For the residents of Eskaton Washington Manor in Mount Shasta, as their hands dig in the soil there is a new richness to summer days. Twirls of tomato vines, tall stalks of corn and the fresh smell of cilantro represent community for the independent living residents. For Debbie Bailey, Eskaton's director, the garden begins in Susanville, where another independent living facility planted a garden. Her thoughts go to a piece of ground in Mount Shasta – a well-guarded, fenced-in plot of weeds belonging to Eskaton's neighbor, Dignity Health. The local hospital offers the ground for long-term use, with the residence facility needing only to run electricity and water to the site.4 continued on page 30
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 29
"I'm disappointed at first," Bailey says. "There isn't much interest when we first obtained the area five years ago." Yet as raised planting beds are built, interest sparks. The green of the garden begins to grow. As attention is given to the garden, the greater community of Mount Shasta takes notice. Solano Hardware offers building materials, rock and bark. Sousa Ready Mix provides gravel, while Knight Excavation brings in a truckload of fertile soil. The residents refurbish an old greenhouse while Eskaton, a non-profit, pays to puts a new covering over the framework. Each year now, this garden grows in its reach into the lives of the people living here. While Eskaton supports the garden, it is the residents who donate and maintain many of the resources needed. "The garden helps make life here be three-dimensional," Bailey says. "Its easy to become isolated. Here is an opportunity to enjoy nature and each other." When John Keenan arrives to live here four years ago, he notices the garden lacks attention. "I've always been oriented to the outdoors," Keenan says. "In terms of life, every day I want to make an improvement and make a change." He rallies his new neighbors and challenges them to help him begin pulling weeds, assuming the informal position of chief gardener. "The garden is much more than a supplement to people's food here," Bailey says. "It’s a place of social activity, where people can work alongside, creating a sense of community with one another." Through the seasons of planting, tending, harvesting and composting,

friendships are born and grow along with the plants. With 24 active gardeners, ranging from 62 to 81 years old, they cultivate 16 raised boxes and eight ground areas. A deer-proof fence keeps wildlife in the role of admiring from a distance. Coming to the garden is like attending an art show. Each gardener uses their space as a canvas, creating a work unique to themselves. Many plant flowers, bringing warmth and a brightness to the vegetable canopy around them. The artists defy the odds of the short growing season here, with one developing 300 tomato plants. For their future, the gardeners look to obtain a more permanent greenhouse. Now, they mingle with the people from the community who come by and sit with the residents and let the beauty of the garden guide their conversations. A water meter lets them be conservation minded as the abundance of labor grows around them. The afternoon breeze caresses the plants as the sun warms the soil. Keenan looks at the visitors, workers and vegetables around him. "It’s rewarding to work here," Keenan says. "The garden is the most significant thing in my life right now." • www.eskaton.org/washington-manor

Energizing the north state WA E LT YS B E A S T U P W I T H A N A L L- N AT U R A L E N E R GY D R I N K AT AGE 83, COUNTRY ICON LORETTA LYNN still has legions of young men swarming to her Tennessee ranch in Hurricane Mills. It’s doubtful they are bumping her country hits from their headphones, but there’s no doubt they have the same love and affection for the Coal Miner’s Daughter as those who revere her music. For these fans, Loretta Lynn is known as the namesake of one of amateur motocross’ most prestigious competitions, a national championship held at her ranch. The Road to Loretta has been documented in a television series, following young men across the country as they struggle to qualify through a series of regional competitions. Jessee Waelty, 22, of Red Bluff has been on the cusp of Loretta Lynn’s and he knows the glory and frustration of the Road. “A lot of kids will strive to make Loretta Lynn’s because if you go, it’s money,” he says. Waelty has qualified in regional competitions but says, “I’ve never had the money to make it to the other qualifiers.”4 continued on page 34
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 33
Turning pro, which he did at age 19, and focusing his energies full time on motocross is something Waelty says “was always a dream of mine since I was a little kid.” Being turned back because of finances, then, holds a particular disappointment. Not one to drown in tears, Jessee and his dad, Robert, and grandpa John decided it was time to Beast Up. Beast Up was a rallying cry Robert took from his five years running an inmate crew with Cal Fire to the motocross track with his son. “Let’s go, beast up!” the inmates would yell when conditions got brutal on the fire line. Sure enough, the call would muster a second wind and the crew would power through the toughest work. “That’s when I learned the power of those words,” he says. In 2009, Robert trademarked the phrase for apparel and drinks and started plastering his son’s motorcycle, gear and clothes with the logo. For five years, it was simply that: a cool logo and phrase that encouraged riders to keep going through the roughest conditions. In April 2014, however, Beast Up became an all-natural energy drink developed by the Waeltys with the intention of supporting the amateur dreams of young extreme sports enthusiasts. “We wanted to build a company where they can get the help they need,” says Robert, “because that’s what we needed. They need help. So we’re going to Beast Up their lives.” To develop the first drink in their product line, the Waeltys worked with a food chemist. “We gave them the whole schedule of a motocross rider,” he says. Beast Up Alert and Energy, Robert says, “is a performance drink. We developed it for athletes.” The Waeltys note that Northern California is filled with local talent in sports such as motocross, but athletes are at a disadvantage because the area doesn’t have the attention of major sponsors. “Southern California sports have big sponsors,” says Jessee. “Kids may have multiple bikes.” Contrast that to the North State, where Robert notes that his son “always had one bike. He had to practice on it and race on it.”
34 | ENJOY JULY 2015
With Beast Up, the family hopes to develop a worldwide brand that can sponsor North State young people and develop extreme sports events in the area. Says Jessee, “Northern California needs more recognition for our sports. That’s where we come in.” Adds Robert, “There’s a lot of secret talent here that no one’s ever heard about.” Robert maintains his position at Cal Fire, while Jessee has taken time off the motocross pro-circuit to develop the Beast Up business. Right now, Beast Up’s singular drink is available in six North State counties through a partnership with Foothill Distributing. They are in the development stage for Beast Up Refuel, an after-performance drink. “We are an extreme sports brand,” says Jessee, noting that they promote at events such as rodeos, monster trucks, motocrosss, skateboarding and wakeboarding events. “One of the reasons we started the brand was to get out there and race.” The team also looks forward to supporting veterans’ causes such as the Wounded Warrior Project. Robert served in Iraq during the Gulf War and his father John, who serves as Chief Operating Officer, is a veteran of the Vietnam War. “We want to do big things for Northern California,” says Jessee. “We’re people that live our brand. We Beast Up every day.” With a grin he adds, “We’re adrenaline junkies. We live for it.” • www.beastup.com

F R E S H F I R E G R I L L I N PA L O C E D R O NOT YOUR TYPICAL FAST FOOD JOINT, the Fresh Fire Grill motto is slow-cooked quality food, fast. A fusion of Asian and organic barbecue, the restaurant’s owners, Dave and Faye Hall, wanted to bring their flair for food to the local community after relocating from Santa Cruz three years ago. “I’m one of those people that cooked for get-togethers at our house,” says Dave, who ran a successful Bay Area barbecue catering business before moving north. “People would always say, ‘You should open a restaurant. You’re really good at this.’” The Halls watched as a succession of small businesses came and went at their Palo Cedro location. “After every business failed, we would say ‘Maybe we should try it,’” Dave says.4 continued on page 38 JULY 2015 ENJOY | 37
They started with a small menu last summer, expanded at the beginning of this year, and in the last six months have tripled their business. Word of mouth has spread and now people come from Redding to patronize the restaurant on their lunch hour. Faye is quick to praise her husband’s skill, but do not just take her word for it. Dave and his father placed in the top 10 of a national barbecue competition in Las Vegas that drew 300 teams from around the country. “There’s some misconception about our menu,” says Dave, who creates from scratch all the rubs, sauces and dressings used in the restaurant. “Some of the meat eaters see the flaming leaf logo and think it is vegetarian. Although we have vegetarian options, including tofu and a few salads, we actually lean more toward meat dishes.” A self-proclaimed organic fanatic, Faye says, “All the produce and juices are organic. Our pork comes from Kent’s Market, our beef from Prather Ranch. Everything is freshly made and we do not use either a fryer or a microwave.” Slow-cooked pulled pork and marinated chicken and beef are menu favorites. Dave’s special Fire Sauce, popular on the chicken wings, hamburgers and signature Fire Bowl dishes, is in demand by customers who want to buy some to take home. (“For now, we want to do one thing really well,” says Faye. Bottled Fire Sauce is likely in the future but for now is on hold.) “I know my husband has a gift and we were always looking at different alternatives to a business that could augment instead of compete with what was already here,” she says. “We wanted to focus on community.” That intention has influenced every decision about the restaurant’s layout and décor. With a small space, they had to think outside the box about seating if they were to create the social dining experience they desired. “I went to Japan and was on the subway and it was jampacked, everyone facing their own corner,” recalls Faye. “I had this vision in the restaurant of people sitting at their tiny table facing the wall. Instead I wanted to create one big space.” The Halls decided to install a single eating area in the restaurant’s interior, a centerpiece that would encourage congregation and conversation and add what Dave calls a “wow” factor. The 10-foot-long signature live edge elm and beech wood table, made from wood sourced in the Monterey Bay area, was crafted by Dave’s father, who also built the wood benches, eating bar and little lending library on the patio. In keeping with its community mindedness, Fresh Fire Grill has catered or sponsored events for a variety of local organizations, including the Redding Ballet, Cascade Theatre and Turtle Bay. “I always thought if you just make good food, people will talk about you and the patrons will come,” says Dave. “It turned out to be true.” •

T H E S I S K I YO U G O L D E N FA I R TODAY IT IS THE SMELL OF COTTON CANDY, the noise of carnival rides and the excitement of children running down the paths lined with animal exhibits. However, 156 years ago, it began as a sole agricultural show in Fort Jones. In 1926, the event moved to its current location. In 1972, a Paul Bunyan Festival was dropped, and the grounds on Fairlane Road in Yreka chose to call the event the name that remains today: the Siskiyou Golden Fair. It’s always held 26 days before Labor Day and is part of a yearlong cycle at the fairgrounds, where more than 90,000 people visit each year. “Fun for the Whole Herd” is this year’s theme. On Aug. 12-16, the gates will swing open to more than 5,000 fair entries, livestock competitions, music and food. More than 50,000 pairs of feet will burst down the fairways during the five days. Four full-time employees staff
the fair, but it takes a much larger team to make it all work. “Other fairs are becoming more commercialized. It’s like going to a theme park,” CEO Cliff Munson says. “Our fair is a community get together, where everyone puts on the event and we enjoy each other’s work.” This year, there is a stronger than usual animal side to the Fair. Alongside the rows of cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits and chickens showcased by local youth will be a unique petting zoo. Last year’s zoo included a hairy armadillo. Featured will be the Oregon-based nonprofit organization Walk on the Wild Side, which helps all species of wild animals that need a place to live out their lives. Besides being a unique animal refuge, they take ambassador animals to public events, telling the story of each animal and providing a special picture opportunity with an exotic animal.4 continued on page 42
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 41
Walking through the exhibits is walking into the lives of nearby families. With more than 19 divisions and 5,000 lots to enter, the exhibits provide a glimpse into the values, tastes and everyday lives of this rural area. Quilts, canned goods, pies and photography fill the buildings. This year, new categories in photography and palette art expand an ever-increasing participation. The Exhibitor Handbook is online, inviting people to join in the activities. “What really keeps this fair unique is it is so well representative of the county,” Munson says. “The county is huge in mass, small in population, yet provides so much diversity.” Carnival rides provide some of the thrills, but the Grandstand provides three nights of adrenaline. Friday moves forward with sprint car racing. Saturday, a rodeo brings out the best of the western heritage of the county, while Sunday is the ever-popular Destruction Derby.

The summer sun blazes bright over Siskiyou County. Soon the days will be full of children’s laughter, carnival music, local artists on their instruments and the gentle moo of a cow. Nighttime will bring the lights of the Ferris wheel and cheers from the grandstand. “We have one of those old-time community fairs,” Munson says. “Here you get to visit with people you only see at the fair and you find yourself meeting up with old friends.” • Siskiyou Golden Fair Aug. 12-16 www.sisqfair.com

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY PAUL BOERGER
J E F F A N D C I N DY W E I S S — L I V I N G O F F T H E G R I D I N S T Y L E LIVING OFF THE GRID IS A POSSIBLE dream come true for some and a nightmare for those who envision a small, dark, unheated cabin deep in the woods. In northern Siskiyou County, Jeff and Cindy Weiss live the dream without the nightmare. The home sits on 300 acres in the rolling hills near Montague. Jeff and Cindy enjoy a television, have a computer, electric lights and the home feels and looks like any neighborhood house. Under the hood, however, there are huge differences. Solar panels and a windmill bring electricity to the house batteries. An outside passive solar shower, with the gray water going to a potato patch, keeps them clean and a woodstove heats the house. Double walls keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer. It is not, however, the energy production that Jeff and Cindy point to when they talk about living off the grid. It is conservation with a capital “C” that the Weisses live by and promote whenever possible. The average American home uses an average of 10,656 kilowatt hours
per year. The Weisses use just 1440. In fact, it is not the technology they have, but what they don’t have that makes the difference. “We look constantly at what we really need,” Jeff says. “We reduce our energy usage every way possible.” There is no heating system that would require a circulating fan, clothes are dried on a line, dishes are washed by hand, the solar shower does not require a heater and a small low-energy refrigerator has no freezer. “We don’t have leftovers that need a refrigerator and we don’t have foods that need a freezer,” Cindy says. The Weisses produce most of their food. Homemade bread, vegetables from indoor and outdoor gardens, almonds from an orchard, potatoes, jellies, special non-dairy butters and a variety of foods stored in canning jars come to the table. “We eliminated most foods that need refrigeration. We could be totally self-sufficient with some adjustments,” Cindy says. “It’s a lot of work, though. I can spend hours in the kitchen.”4 continued on page 46 JULY 2015 ENJOY | 45
Jeff says he didn’t have an epiphany that told him to save the planet when he bought the land. “I just wanted to get away from the barking dogs in town,” Jeff says with a laugh. “I didn’t know a thing. I was completely ignorant. We made of lot of mistakes.” As he came to understand and love the land, his need to preserve and conserve grew. “We are very conscious about not fouling the nest,” Jeff says. “We think about generations coming in the future.” Jeff says putting in solar and wind is appropriate, but not without conservation. “That’s fine, but unplug your dryer first,” Jeff says. Jeff and Cindy are well aware of climate change issues, and their lifestyle reflects that concern. “It’s the right thing to do,” Jeff says. “The bucket is only so big. How many scoops do you really need?” •

With Dermatude - The Facelift Alternative
DEDICATED TO OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 2004
What is Dematude? Dermatude Meta Therapy involves making invisible micro-perforations in the skin in a painless way. As a result, the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear & starts producing collagen & elastin to repair the microperforations. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal from the inside out. Your skin becomes firmer & regains its elasticity, fine lines & wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated & the overall condition of the skin improves. Meta Therapy helps re-activate what your skin has lost over time by turning back the biological clock in a 100% natural way, giving your face a fresher & younger look.

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:

a feast of love D R . S A N D H O O S E R V E S U P A U T H E N T I C I N D I A N F O O D AT T H E GOOD NEWS RESCUE MISSION
TWICE A YEAR, in July and December, hungry folks who show up at Redding’s Good News Rescue Mission have the privilege of enjoying a made-from-scratch Indian meal. Dr. Gurpreet Sandhoo, a Sikh, has been providing the lunch since she moved to Redding in 2001 to share with those less fortunate, without regard to the recipients’ beliefs. “We’re not feeding Christians or Jews or Hindus. We’re feeding the homeless and the hungry. Hunger knows no religion.” Sandhoo, a solo practitioner of internal medicine at Excellence in Healthcare in Redding, prepares the lunch in July to honor her late son. In December, the meal is in honor of her late father. “But we’re thinking of moving it to January. Everyone remembers the homeless and the hungry in December,” she says. The Indian meal is not just an exotic alternative to the food the
Mission usually serves. “We try to keep it mostly healthy, made from scratch, using lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. We do chicken, beef, rice, a chickpea dish, naan, yogurt salad.” Although the lunch is always made from fresh and wholesome ingredients, the dessert table allows for some indulgence. “Half of the dessert table is fresh fruit, and the other half is cakes and rice pudding. We also provide milk, which is very popular.” Often, when the smell of Basmati rice – scented with cardamom, cloves and coriander – begins to waft out from the Mission’s kitchen, residents and others nearby will line up in anticipation, swelling the size of the crowd. “We often see people who are already here texting people they know to come and join us,” Sandhoo says.4 continued on page 50
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 49
Sandhoo sums it up: “I do believe in sharing, and this brings so many people together to share a meal. We all get a lot in return.”
Sandhoo and her helpers feed an estimated 250 to 300 people at a time. No undertaking this big, she acknowledges, could be done without help. She takes care of the cost herself, but has a cadre of volunteers – usually about 30 to 40 friends, patients and colleagues – who help shop, organize and cook at the Mission with her. Dr. Clarence Trausch has been involved for about 10 years and is experienced enough that he usually helps organize the other volunteers. “A lot of different people show up to help. They’ll peel the onions, clean the pots and pans. It’s a really big job, but I like to get my hands in it.” He often gives a non-denominational, inspirational message at the beginning of the meal. When Sandhoo arrived in the United States from India, she didn’t know how to cook. “I couldn’t even boil water,” she laughs. But having three children who needed to be fed forced to her to learn. “I was a biochemist before I was a medical doctor, so I enjoyed doing a lot of experimenting with various cuisines.” She tried offering more variety at the Mission a couple of times – Thai food, or breakfast for lunch – but the real demand was for her Indian food. “It’s a feast and they love it,” says Sandhoo. Jamie Hale, a long-time volunteer and a medical social worker, looks forward to being involved with the meals. “I like the creative process, from putting the ingredients together to serving up a unique Indian meal for that many people,” she says. “It’s really gratifying when so many people come back for seconds and smile and express their appreciation.” Janet Shields, the Mission’s executive assistant and volunteer coordinator, always looks forward to seeing the group and its dedicated volunteers. “They work for days getting things ready and they do a fantastic job. And she is such a kind person,” says Shields. Sandhoo sums it up: “I do believe in sharing, and this brings so many people together to share a meal. We all get a lot in return.” •

MAKE UP ARTIST B R I T TA N Y B A E R C R E AT E S HER DREAM
VIBRANT EYESHADOW and blush palettes and foundations in variegated shades surround her, while fluffy brushes, fake lashes and other assorted products are strewn about in organized chaos. This is the life of a makeup artist. Three weddings in one day is nothing to artist Brittany Baer. She is used to long workdays and life on the road. And she wouldn’t trade it for the world. “We love weddings around here,” she says. “And I love brides.” Ask anyone—Baer is a queen in the makeup world and has created a social media empire. Bride Shawna Vannucchi, 28, is from the Bay Area and knew that in order to get Baer, she had to act fast. “After my wedding coordinator recommended her, I looked at her Instagram and saw how flawless her work is,” says Vannucchi, who wanted her country-style wedding in Redding and booked her more than a year in advance. Good thing, too, as Baer’s popularity has soared.4 continued on page 56

“I have learned that having a good name is a big deal,” says Baer. “Word of mouth is huge, especially in small towns, and I have worked incredibly hard to make sure that everyone I meet has the best experience that I can provide them with.” Born and raised in Stockton, Baer says her solid work ethic comes from her parents’ involvement in encouraging their kids to further themselves. She played sports and was active in many school clubs throughout childhood and into high school. Baer discovered her love of makeup at around age 13. “My mother had three girls and would make us over all the time in her bathroom,” Baer recalls. “I can remember her showing me brushes and teaching me about eyebrow shaping. When I attended my first school dance with a new look (courtesy of my mother), I remember everyone looking and commenting on how amazing it looked and how it enhanced my features. I was hooked from that point on.” Two weeks after graduating high school in 2005, Brittany moved to Los Angeles to attend a prestigious makeup academy where she learned special effects, cinema, editorial and avante-garde makeup techniques. She landed her dream job at 18, working for MAC Cosmetics. She worked in numerous locations throughout Northern California, including San Francisco, where she attended college and worked on perfecting her craft, while moving up in managerial positions to learn more about the business behind the art. She left MAC in 2010 to finish college and pursue running her own business. By this time, she was in a relationship with her now-husband, Curt Baer (owner of Iron Mountain Tattoo in Redding), and transferred to Chico State University to be closer to him. She earned her degree in small business entrepreneurship and began building her business. She says she knew early on that she was destined to do makeup, and said to Curt, “I’m going to start a business.” And she did. “I literally walked up and down the street handing out business cards, introducing myself to people and building relationships,” Baer says. “When you treat people well, they tell other people. It’s important.”
And word has gotten out. Baer works non-stop, traveling to get to as many clients as possible, while working full time at The Waxing Lounge in Redding. She says every step has led her to this next phase—launching her own cosmetics line. It’s important to her to be involved in every step of the process, and she wants a product that will be around for the long haul. “I want to create a makeup line that I can be proud of, that can be found in places like Sephora,” she says. Baer wants people to know that one doesn’t have to go to a big city for quality work. She is inspired by her surroundings right here in the North State. “As a bridal artist, I am heavily inspired by things that carry a light, soft touch,” Baer says. “Flowers and textiles are sources of inspiration for me when doing beauty makeups. I also am very inspired by photographers and their stylistic preferences. I find that I tend to tailor my makeups to the setting. The images at the end of the day are all that the client really has. The more I know about the way they will be edited, the better likelihood the makeup will stand on its own.” Baer says her biggest accomplishment thus far was making the team as a freelance artist for a London Fashion Week show. “There were only 10 artists on the team and I had the opportunity to beautify runway models and see my work on the Vogue website the next day. It was truly an outof-body experience.” She also went to New York, alongside 20 artists from around the world, to work with celebrities such as Lala Anthony, Eva Longoria and cosmetics mogul Loren Ridinger. Despite being offered numerous opportunities in larger cities, she has chosen to stay in the North State. “I love Redding,” she says. “We’ve been able to build our business in a beautiful area. Also, we have both built huge clienteles and we don’t want to leave our clients.” • Follow Brittany on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook or email her at brittanyartistry@gmail.com

The Stone Foxes are an original blues rock band based in San Francisco, led by brothers Shannon Koehler (singer, harp player) and Spence Koehler (lead guitarist, singer) who grew up in the foothills of California’s Central Valley. After high school, the Koehlers begin attending San Francisco State University, and formed the beginnings of The Stone Foxes, which now includes band members Vince Dewald on bass, Ben Andrews on guitar and violin, Brian Bakalian on drums and keyboardist Elliott Peltaman. “You do what the song needs you to do. That’s how this band does it,” says Shannon Koehler. “You can go back to Muddy Waters and further for examples of this. With us, there’s this filter of blues and roots that we’ve created by soaking up that music, and when we write, everything gets put through that filter. It comes out as who we are today, but everything we do goes through this cultural fuzzbox.”
Reflecting on the band’s last CD release, “Small Fires,” he says, “There weren’t any blues covers. Our songs were more complex and we pushed ourselves musically. We’re huge Bob Dylan fans and we love lyrics that really have something to say.” While putting that album together, Shannon was inspired to write a piece called “Goodnight Moon” by people he encountered on his daily commute. “Every morning I walked out of the same subway station in downtown San Francisco seeing folks who had slept on the sidewalk all night, and I’d pass by them without batting an eye,” Shannon says. “The day I realized how easy it was to walk by when someone was just trying to say hello, I felt sick.” “Goodnight Moon” is the story of someone trying to find a place to sleep. “He may be suffering from some mental illness. Maybe he gets lost and can’t make it to a shelter so he ends up sleeping on a sidewalk.” After the song was recorded, Stone Foxes began asking fans to bring non-perishable food items to their concerts, working with the California non-profit SuperFood Drive to identify food banks and shelters in each city the group visited, the 4 continued on page 60

CRESCENT CITY’S OCEAN WORLD AQUARIUM SUMMER MONTHS ARE HERE, and with them comes summer heat. As temperatures rise, California’s North Coast becomes an even cooler destination. There’s the ocean spray, the redwood shade, and if you know where to look, an interactive aquatic experience surrounded by millions of gallons of water. Crescent City’s Ocean World Aquarium and isn’t just a way to beat the heat; it’s also an up close and personal way to experience ocean life of the Pacific Northwest through interactive tide pools and a 45-minute guided tour. Ocean World has been privately owned and operated in Crescent City since 1964, but the aquarium’s history is anything but sedentary. Like the ocean life in its exhibits,
Ocean World has moved with the tide – literally. “It’s actually a ship that used to float out in the ocean that was later pulled onto shore,” says owner Mary Wilson. The former barge boat floated from Seattle and down the coastline where it moored in Crescent City’s harbor. The maritime aquarium would partially submerge, offering visitors a close-up view of ocean life beneath the surface. But winter weather wasn’t always kind to the boat, says Wilson, “and the fish would all get away.” So in 1985, the boat anchored permanently and retired from the seafaring life.4 continued on page 64
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 63
In 1992, Wilson purchased the aquarium from bankruptcy court, essentially giving Ocean World new life, new critters. Since Wilson took the helm, the aquarium has grown into a destination. Just last year, they had 60,000 guests visit the aquarium.“ We often have people tell us that they enjoy Ocean World more than they do some of the bigger aquariums,” she says – hard to believe, perhaps, but she thinks Ocean World’s size works in its favor. “It’s not like going into a mall where there’s a little bit of everything,” says Wilson. “I call it a boutique aquarium.” And Ocean World’s specialty: a personal tour through exhibits representing the local sea life from the Pacific Northwest. That’s a 45-minute guided tour through exhibits like Rocky Bottom Environment, with rockfish, wolf eels and giant seas stars, or the Open Ocean Environment, with bat rays, striped back, green sturgeon and dogfish shark. “A guide takes you through the aquarium, explains everything to you,” explains Wilson. Guests can also keep cool by immersing their hands in the interactive petting tank, where they can gently handle starfish, urchins and anemone. For more daring guests who think starfish and urchins are a little pedestrian, they can build up the courage to pet a live shark.4 continued on page 66

“It’s quite a challenge for everyone,” Wilson says. “We have leopard sharks in our petting area that run about five to six feet long, and also horn shark, which are about three feet long and a little broader.” But the real highlight at Ocean World, says Wilson, is the seal and sea lion performance. Ocean World rescued Cora, 6, from Long Beach, and its newest sea lion is Pearl, 2, “still a young pup who is learning new behaviors all the time.” “Our animals are trained and we take a lot of time and care to take care of our animals to keep them healthy,” Wilson says. They make sure all guests have an opportunity to see their sea lions and seals perform and feed. About 40 percent of guests are return customers, mostly families, says Wilson. Personally speaking, Wilson understands the draw. “When I go on trips with my family, we go on all the small things… it’s just so much more real Americana. And up here, in Del Norte County, you get a lot more bang for your buck.” Most importantly, without all that “hustle and bustle” of the larger destination aquariums, “you can spend that time with your family instead,” says Wilson. Or with the fishes. Or with both. • Ocean World • 304 Highway 101 South, Crescent City (707) 464-4900 • Summer hours: daily 9am – 9pm www.oceanworldonline.com

peak o of p giving Z A C H B R U N N E R A N D L A S S E N PA R K F O U N D AT I O N THE HIKE TO LASSEN PEAK IS DESCRIBED IN THE OFFICIAL PARK BROCHURE AS STRENUOUS, and one that can lead to a crater “where a lingering rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide reminds visitors that Lassen is ever-active.” It takes about four to five hours and encompasses a series of switchbacks along a rocky ledge. It's a challenge, for sure, one studded with stunning vistas and potential for remarkable memories. And 9-yearold Zach Brunner of Los Altos simply can't wait to experience it. “I really want to climb to the top of the volcano,” says the third grader, who has been visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park with his family over the last four years. “I think that will feel good because a lot of my donations were sent to help build that trail up to the peak. I can't wait to climb it!” Just as Zach's family, including parents David and Sonia and older brother, Owen, have made experiencing national parks an integral part of their vacations – in 2015 alone they've already been to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion – so too have they made giving to their favorite places a family value. It started when Owen was gearing up for his seventh birthday party. “We just had too many presents, too much stuff,” says Sonia. They decided to turn a time typically reserved for receiving into a time of giving. Owen asked his friends to forgo presents and consider a small donation to his favorite place, Yosemite.4 continued on page 70
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 69
When Zach's birthday rolled around, he decided to collect donations, as well. The first year, he turned them over to his school. Then his family made their first visit to Lassen Park. Zach knew he'd found a very special place, one he'd want to return to again and again. He also knew he'd found the new place to support with his birthday donations. “I like how it's just calm and peaceful and there are hikes that aren't very populated,” he says. “I've found very cool moths shaped like animals and there's some bark with cool colors. It's just nature stuff. There's also grasshoppers and other animals around.” Zach enjoys camping with his family and says he's as fond of campsite exploration as he is hiking and swimming. “It's fun to not sleep in a bed and to sleep on the ground in a sleeping bag,” he says. As an annual donor, and the youngest one at that, Zach has caught the attention of the Lassen Park Foundation, the nonprofit organization which supports the park beyond the investments made by the federal government. “The Lassen Park Foundation's Board of Directors have been very inspired by Zach's generosity to the Foundation,” says Executive Director Kristen Gray. “So much so that in 2013 they unanimously voted him onto our board as an honorary director. Zach is invited to our board meetings and was able to attend our January meeting in Vacaville.” In his leadership role, Zach's input has been sought in the development of a new youth group camp site. The dedicated area will greatly increase the capacity of youth groups to camp throughout the summer and into the off seasons. Zach's suggestion: a series of short trails in close proximity to the campsite so kids may safely explore if they wake up before the adults in their group.
For all of his experience at Lassen and with its rangers and supporters, Zach hasn't yet reached the peak because the trail has been closed for renovation. To further the project along, Zach has requested that his birthday offerings support the project. His mom looks forward to that adventure as well, “One of my biggest memories as a kid was hiking Lassen Peak,” she says. “It was hard.” She's now eager to share that experience with her whole family. “When he goes to Lassen, he meets people who say thank you,” Sonia says of her son. “That kind of exposure makes my sons really lifelong stewards because they have that view of what it takes to keep a park going and to protect it.” True to his role as an advocate and supporter of the National Park system, Zach encourages others to explore his favorite place. “There are a lot of good hikes in Lassen,” he says. “People should try to experience them and the national parks they're close to. Even if it's a three-hour drive away, I think it's definitely worth the experience.” www.nps.gov/lavo/index.htm www.lassenparkfoundation.org

C E N T R A L P O I N T, O R E . T R I F E C TA O F D E L I C I O U S N E S S SO YOU DECIDE TO MAKE A QUICK ESCAPE to the Oregon coast, but you're starting to doubt that you have enough of the bare essentials - wine, cheese, chocolate. Never fear. Three unique businesses situated around a small parking lot in Central Point, Ore., have the trifecta of deliciousness that you seek. The shops on an otherwise industrial-looking block of North Front Street contain treasures and stories that may prompt you to never pass through the area without taking this little detour. LILLIE BELLE FARMS HANDMADE CHOCOLATES This shop in a bright purple building evolved into existence after owner Jeff Shepherd—a berry farmer—began making cordials and selling them at the farmers’ market. Today, his artisan chocolates are completely hand-made and the shop has been chosen as one of America’s Top 10 Chocolatiers. In a nod to the synergy that the chocolate shop shares with its neighbors, its Smokey Blue Cheese Truffles feature a bestselling cheese from Rogue Creamery. Named after the owner’s daughter, Lillie, and wife, Belle, each chocolate is a work of art. That’s by design. Shepherd is a musician and an artist who not only
creates the chocolate delicacies, but has designed the logo, the decor and just about everything else in the store. There’s no shortage of pre-packaged treats to purchase, including chocolatecovered bacon, toasted almonds or specialty brownies. But behind the glass case is an assortment of intricately hand-painted candies that will make you feel like you’re a guest at an edible art museum. Stand behind the window and watch the candy makers work their magic— they’ll reward you with megawatt smiles.4 continued on page 74
ROGUE CREAMERY Highway signs lead to the Rogue Creamery, where you can sample some of the handcrafted blue cheeses that have earned international recognition. The milk for the cheeses comes from the dairies along Southern Oregon's Rogue River, and it was named the world's best blue cheese in 2003. The handmade cheese is produced from sustainable certified raw and pasteurized milk, and the company prides itself on its stewardship of natural resources. In addition to an aesthetically appealing tasting area, guests can purchase cheeses, crackers, wine and other snacks that can be enjoyed on the tables outside, if you just can't wait to dive in. Consider treating yourself to a grilled cheese sandwich - you've never had one quite like this.
JULY 2015 ENJOY | 73
LEDGER DAVID The logo for this winery represents the three stars of Orion's belt, and the name is in honor of the 6-year-old son of owners David Traul and Lena Varner. Grapes are grown on 15 acres in Talent, in the Rogue Valley Appellation. The owners are poised to break ground on a new winery and tasting room soon. They produce 11 varietals, many of which can be sampled in their tasting room for a small fee. The uber-friendly wine educator who's usually behind the bar pouring samples will make you feel right at home. If your timing is perfect, you might end up there on an evening where they're having a dinner winepairing event. If not, it's quite alright - you're welcome to bring your cheese and chocolates with you from next door. To get there: Take Interstate 5 north to Central Point (exit 33). Turn left on East Pine Street, then right onto North Front Street. The creamery, chocolate shop and winery are on the left. • Kerri Regan grew up in the North State and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Francisco State University.

THE USUAL SUSPECTS IN THE USUAL SUSPECTS LITTLE BIG BAND, ages run from the 20s into the 70s. Hometowns stretch from Oak Run to Weaverville. Occupations include surgical nurse, classroom aide, store manager, physician and retired park ranger. The common line running through the mix of musicians? They’re serious about jazz. The Usual Suspects is composed of high-caliber musicians with a strong connection to community. The name is a nod to their familiarity. Many are fixtures of the North State music scene. They belong to various bands, perform with symphonies and pit orchestras and play in restaurant lounges. “You see the same faces in different combinations,” band leader Jeff Jones says. Jones thought it would be fun if area jazz players formed a little big band – a downsized version of a traditional big band. Actually, he hoped someone else might come along and create such a band, and then he could play saxophone in it.4 continued on page 78

JULY 2015 ENJOY | 77
“I never considered myself a leader personality,” he notes. But time went by and a little big band didn’t materialize. So about five years ago, Jones started calling musician friends to pitch the project. The response was: “Let’s do it!” The Usual Suspects has 11 players and a singer, plus Jones as leader. The roster has changed a bit but it’s mostly the same musicians meeting monthly to rehearse at The Music Connection in Redding. Saxophonist Frank Eller says the mix of ages and backgrounds strengthens the band. “Everyone brings something different to the table.” As the newest member, Eller found the band welcoming and supportive. “Everyone is really friendly. It’s not competitive.” “There are no egos. There is a lot of musical respect and admiration,” trombonist Joe Larsen says. “To have a band like this in the community – wow – how fantastic.” “Everyone loves the music, and it really shows,” trombonist Monica Hicks says. Bruce Calin, a professional musician who was in the house band for “A Prairie Home Companion,” plays bass in The Usual Suspects. He hopes audiences enjoy the band’s music and come away with an appreciation for the level of musicianship in the North State. “We have some great bands that come through, and that is fine, but these are people right here in town writing the music; playing the music,” Calin says. He’s happy to be in the band. “It’s the kind of music I’ve always liked to play, so it’s a good musical experience, and I like the people.” The band has performed at Simpson University and Old City Hall in Redding and Nor-Cal Jazz Festival in Chico. Last summer it opened for the Bandaloop performances on the Sundial Bridge for the bridge’s 10th anniversary celebration. The band typically gives two or three shows a year. “We’re not a for-profit group at all,” Jones says. “We definitely play for our own enjoyment.” A retired state and national park ranger, Jones says music doesn’t have to be your livelihood to be an important part of your life.
78 | ENJOY JULY 2015
“It’s enjoyable to do something outside your usual line of work,” says Dave Short, a saxophonist in the band and a family physician in Redding. Playing in the band is a way to step away from everyday life. Jazz is a creative outlet that demands concentration. “To read music of this type of complexity, you really have to focus,” Short says. The Usual Suspects’ jazz selections range from traditional to experimental. Jones arranges and composes some pieces, and encourages other members to write and arrange too. “I think that’s the most fun. It’s really enjoyable to hear something you wrote played,” he says. A band isn’t just an outlet for musicians; it provides opportunities for the community to hear live music. And that’s vital, Jones says. “I think there is just an incredible difference between artificially produced music and music produced by people,” he says. “There is a different energy. There is that human element.” Many of the musicians in The Usual Suspects trace their lifelong interest in playing to school music programs. Some first picked up their instruments in elementary school. Supporting music education is a band theme. During performances, Jones recognizes any music teachers in the audience and puts in a plug for music programs. Playing in a school band offers lessons beyond music, he says. “There is discipline. There is teamwork and intellectual challenge that spill over into other classes,” Jones says. “To me, if the kids aren’t learning music in school, we’re all in trouble,” Calin says. • The Usual Suspects will perform Aug. 9 at Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center in Weaverville.

FA M I LY T I M E W I T H T H E N E L S O N S RETIRED DENTIST LEON NELSON considers himself “an expert on smiles”—and it runs in the family. His son, Mike, and grandson, Chris, have made careers out of creating perfect smiles for other people. But his expertise also comes from lots of personal experience, as his love for his work, the outdoors and his family keeps a smile on his own face just about all the time. These dentists and adventuresome nature enthusiasts have made indelible marks on the community individually, yet they thrive on working (and playing) together. “If you like to do things, Redding is the place to be,” Mike says. “There’s Whiskeytown Lake, creeks, hundreds of miles of trail. Dad’s fished every creek in Shasta County, from start to end, and hiked up all of them.”
When this family dental legacy began in 1960, Redding only had 13 dentists. Leon had to ferry patients to his offices in the building on stilts overlooking the Sacramento River at 25 South Street, and he had one treatment room with a chair that didn’t recline. He did two emergency root canals on Bing Crosby two days before Christmas in 1968. Back in the 1970s, Leon employed two ambitious Shasta High School teens as his janitors—his own son, Mike, and Ron Zufall, now a longtime Redding dentist. And when he needed some office assistance, he leaned on Shasta High School again. “My dad called the school and said he needed someone with an A in shorthand, an A in English and an A in typing,” Mike says. Leon hired a smart and lovely young woman, and her workspace was in the basement.4 continued on page 82 JULY 2015 ENJOY | 81

“Mike would take the garbage out five times a day to walk past her,” Leon says. Mike and Rhonda have now been married for 35 years, and have two grown children – Kendra and Chris. After Mike graduated from Shasta High and the University of the Pacific’s dental school (just like his dad), he began working alongside his father in their Redding office. A generation later, Chris also graduated from Shasta High School and the University of the Pacific’s dental school. Today, he is the dental clinic director for Hill Country Health and Wellness in Round Mountain and works on Fridays with his father at their Redding dental office. Leon retired from full-time dentistry in 2003, but comes back to the Nelsons’ dental office occasionally to work on dentures. “It’s fun to collaborate,” Mike says. “I learn things from Chris, and I learn things from Dad. We all learn from each other.” Although just about everything else about the world has changed dramatically since Leon was a boy, Northern California’s scenic beauty has remained a constant. “When I first backpacked with my dad, we had big Army-issue backpacks made of a lot of wood and canvas. We got all of our equipment at the Army-Navy store on Pine Street,” Leon says. “The backpack weighed about 50 pounds, and now we carry no more than 25.” When Leon and Donna married and started their family, they camped almost every weekend. Mike recalls, “He’d take us up on a Thursday, set us up, come back and work Friday, then come up for the weekend”—and he and

July is Men’s National Health Month
The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Recognizing and preventing men’s health problems IS NOT just a man’s issue. Because of its impact on wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters, men’s health is truly a FAMILY ISSUE. Make your health a priority. Take daily steps to be healthier and stronger. There are many easy things you can do every day to improve your health and stay healthy, such as: • GETTING GOOD SLEEP. Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions. In general, adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep per night. • STOP SMOKING. It’s never too late to quit. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. • MOVE MORE. Adults need at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) every week, muscle strengthening activities that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, shoulders, and arms. You don’t have to do it all at once. Spread your activities out during the week.
• TAME YOUR STRESS. Stress can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed and out of control. See you doctor or nurse for regular checkups. Certain disease and conditions may not have symptoms, so checkups help diagnose issues early or before they can be a problem. Pay attention to signs and symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, excessive thirst, and problems with urination. If you have these or symptoms of any kind, be sure to see your doctor right away. Don’t wait! Keep track of your numbers for blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol and body mass index (BMI). If you are older than 45 have your prostate checked each year. Get vaccinated. Everyone needs immunizations to stay healthy, no matter how old you are. You know your body better than anyone else. Always tell your doctor or nurse about any changes in your health, including, vision and hearing. (http:// www.cdc.gov)

Rhonda orchestrated similar treks while they were raising Kendra and Chris. Roller hockey, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, geocaching, backpacking and photography are among the many interests that the men still enjoy – either alone, together or in pairs. The three schedule at least one annual backpacking trip into the Trinity Alps wilderness. “These things tie us together,” Mike says. Several years back, Backpacker magazine and the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Agriculture sponsored 50 teams to map the 3,000mile Continental Divide Trail for the first time. More than 3,000 people submitted applications to be volunteers, and Mike and Leon were selected to map 50.2 miles of the trail in Wyoming. Their name was “Team TarpMan,” since Leon hasn’t camped in a tent in decades— he prefers tarps. The Nelsons are also heavily involved with Shasta High music, and Leon and wife Donna have volunteered with the school’s musicals since they began in 1975. Mike is a videographer for the productions, and Chris (a widely published photographer) takes photos and videos in addition to serving as an acting coach for the Madrigal Dinner. “I like to be a role model for kids,” Chris says. They also seemed to have mastered the art of marriage. Leon has been married for 59 years to Donna, and Mike has been married for 35 years to Rhonda. Chris and his wife, Katie, are expecting their first baby this fall. The whole family prides itself on enjoying life’s adventures together, and relishing every moment. “Everything he does, he loves,” Mike says of his father, “whether it’s Walmart or the latest meatloaf recipe or the next sunrise.”
And as they reflect on their unique family bond, it seems to dovetail just perfectly with the way Mike describes the way that they approach a much-anticipated wilderness destination. “Whenever we crest a ridge, we don’t look over the ridge until we’re all there together,” Mike says. •
Favorite place to pitch a tarp: Little Duck Lake. “It’s a superb place with flat ground.” Favorite place to photograph the sunset: Emerald Sapphire Lake in the Russian Wilderness. Best place for a day hike with kids: Big Boulder Lake. “It was Chris’ first hike.” Best getaway: Bingham Lake. “It has a unique shoreline with white sand around the entire perimeter, but the lake always has the same level of water so it’s never exposed. You can sit up to your chest in the water and there’s no gooey algae - it’s almost like a spa experience. And it’s loaded with fish.” Best place to kayak: Whiskeytown Lake. “You can go out there and forget you’re near home.”

July Recipe
This month, another birthday rolls around – this time a big “0” birthday for my twin sister, Leah, and me. Although we live miles apart, one thing we enjoy is sharing recipes. One of our favorites is this recipe for a salad which we adapted from one of our favorite ladies, Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa. It’s a refreshing summer salad with spicy arugula, sweet, juicy watermelon, salty feta, nutty pine nuts and refreshing mint. Peppery arugula is our pick for the greens in this salad, but change it out for your favorite greens. The simple vinaigrette finishes off the
90 | ENJOY JULY 2015
salad nicely, or just squeeze a couple of lemons if you prefer an even lighter finish. It’s perfect for those barbecues as it is easy to make and it’s one that everyone will love. When adding red onions in salads, soak the onion in a little bowl of water while you prep the other ingredients. It seems to help eliminate the harsh taste you often get with raw onions. It’s a little slice of summer in a salad bowl! Happy birthday, Sis! Enjoy!

ASSEMBLE THE SALAD STEP 1: Wash and dry arugula or greens and add to a large salad bowl. Add the chunks of watermelon to the bowl and drizzle with a little of the vinaigrette, tossing to lightly coat the greens. STEP 2: If using the soaking method for the red onion, drain then slice. Dice the red onion and it should equal about 4 tablespoons. Crumble the feta and add to the bowl of greens, along with the diced red onions, toasted pine nuts and julienned mint. Gently toss again. STEP 3: Taste and adjust seasonings or add more vinaigrette if desired. Serve immediately. If not serving right away, adjust seasonings and add more vinaigrette when served.

For the Kids by Patrick John
I have a co-worker whose son planted a large quantity of heirloom tomatoes from seed, then spent months watering, tending, re-potting and selling the plants. I bought two plants for $8, so I know he made a slam dunk with this idea. As a kid, I remember opening a lemonade stand with my siblings, and I’m fairly certain we profited just enough to buy water balloons and baseball cards. It was a start, but the big money came at age 12 with a newspaper route. It was EVERY afternoon plus Sunday mornings, but it supplied spending dough for the ice cream truck, movies and the music store at the mall. This got my mind turning on ideas for kids to make some spending money this summer or start saving for down the road. If you have an enterprising youngster or two, depending on their age and motivation, it might be a good time to assist your mini-mogul in starting their own business. This is good for YOUR wallet too, teaches a work ethic, and is a lesson in earning, saving and spending. This one’s for the kids! Obviously, you’ll have to help make sure any plan is age appropriate and most of all, safe for your child, but here are some old school and creative ideas for kids of all ages. Classic ideas include babysitting, pet-sitting, house-sitting, lawn mowing/yard work, grocery shopping, errand running or house cleaning. How about washing cars, car detailing, window washing, fence painting, gutter cleaning or tutoring over the summer vacation? Dog walking, poop
scooping, collecting recycling, watering plants by hand, collecting golf balls or weeding yards are other chores. Other kids may be looking for something more creative, like managing a vending machine (hint: start with something like a gumball/candy machine), garbage/green waste/recycle bin curb service on pickup day, holding or helping others plan a garage sale, reselling household items online, making jewelry, selling their crafts online or face painting at community events. Tech-savvy kids can digitize someone’s entire collection of old photos onto CD/DVD or thumb drive, convert old movies, or teach someone else how to use a computer, email, social media or build a website. Summer activities also mean outdoor gear like boats, RVs, ATVs, tents and camping gear need to be cleaned thoroughly before being put away. Bilingual teens could tutor someone studying or learning another language. Kids who are great at sports may be able to coach or be a coach’s assistant. Winter months are good for weather-specific chores like shoveling snow, collecting mail for those unable to trek to the mailbox, and selling gathered mistletoe, kindling or firewood. A few tips – if you’re providing the startup capital, make sure you have an agreement or payment schedule in place requiring you be paid back. Part of setting up a new business is marketing, so helping with flyers or coupons may be in order. Be honest about profits expected and help your kids set a fair and competitive price for services. Operating their own enterprise is a great way to show your kids that the road to success really is paved with hard work. Good luck!

{Stories} our
PRODUCTS TELL
CHICO HONEY COMPANY ENJOY: How did you get into the honey business? RYAN: My brother Josh, sister Haley and I are thirdgeneration beekeepers. My grandpa started beekeeping and learned from another beekeeping family, who had been beekeeping for over 100 years. My brother just graduated from the University of San Francisco with a master’s degree in business, and Haley is attending Chico State University next semester. I’ve been full-time beekeeping for three years.
100 | ENJOY JULY 2015
ENJOY: Why do your honeys have varying tastes? RYAN: Honey is compared a lot to wine. If you have your bees next to a large field of alfalfa, the honey is going to be drastically different than if you have your bees next to a large orange grove. You can taste the undertones of what flower they’ve been near. Almond blooms are beautiful, but they don’t necessarily make good honey. Other things like alfalfa or clover are really light and sweet. Half of our bees go out of state and we make sweet clover honey, which is a light, sweet, delicious honey. The other half stay local and we get our wildflower honey. Other companies will get a lot of honey from different sources, warm them up and blend them together, but we don’t blend our honeys. ENJOY: What is your most unique honey? RYAN: Hawaiian. My parents have a business called Olivarez Honeybees, and we raise queens in Hawaii. There aren’t a lot of beekeepers in Hawaii and we just happen to be one of them. Our bees are on the Kona side of the big island, and they’re mixed in with the coffee trees. The honey is kind of dark and has a coffee hint to it.
ENJOY: What are some of the benefits of honey? RYAN: It’s really popular with people with allergies. Probably 80 percent of our sales come from people who have allergies. Pure and raw honey, which we produce, also has lots of vitamins, nutrients and natural enzymes. ENJOY: What makes you proud of your product? RYAN: We have our own bees, and the majority of our honey comes from our own hives that we work. Beekeeping is a lot of hard, physical work, and to have something so delicious and sweet and healthy come out of it is pretty rewarding. ENJOY: What can the average honey lover do to help protect the bee population? RYAN: You can let weeds and natural flowers grow. In California, it’s the biggest hurdle for the bees. We send half our bees to Montana for the summer because there’s not enough natural forage for them to survive. Everything is sprayed and everything is cut. Star thistle used to be a really popular honey, and when I was younger, I remember working the bees in the foothills with the star thistle. Now there’s hardly any star thistle anymore. Letting the weeds at least bloom and letting a few bees come and collect the pollen is really helpful. Wait a little bit longer before you mow your orchards.
ENJOY: Where are your products available? RYAN: Enjoy the Store, Great Harvest (all three Chico locations), Made in Chico, Little Red Hen stores, Project K, The Galley, Oven Marketplace and Café, Coffee House and Eatery in Orland and Patrick Branch Museum toward Durham. • 730 6th St., Orland • (530) 966-5864 www.facebook.com/chicohoneyco

SIBSHOPS
S I B L I N G S U P P O R T P R O J E C T T H R O U G H R O W E L L FA M I LY E M P O W E R M E N T THE SIBLING JOURNEY IS LIFELONG, usually outlasting most other significant family relationships. Daily triumphs and challenges strengthen or weaken ties that are more complicated when a sibling has a special health, developmental or mental health need. “The children who have siblings with diverse abilities often have to grow up faster than other kids,” says Alexandra Stephens, Sibshop coordinator at Rowell Family Empowerment. “They may be called upon to go to the hospital, watch the sibling or otherwise help out within the family. Sibshop gives them a break from these activities.” A program of the Sibling Support Project, the first national organization to serve brothers and sisters of siblings with special needs, Sibshops are a combination support group and social club. “It offers a chance for kids to make new friends who understand where they are coming from,” says Stephens. “We have children from different backgrounds and walks of life. Even though their siblings differ in the diversity of their abilities, these kids find they often have more in common than initially they may have thought.” The group meets monthly in Redding for activities that have included games, bowling and a trip to Hooves for Harmony, which offers horse therapy to special needs children. Attendance averages five to seven per meeting for kids ages 8-14. Online resources are available to those who do not feel comfortable attending a peer support meeting. Sibshops provide a safe space for kids to talk about what is important to them. “The discussions give them an opportunity to share strategies for encouraging harmony at home, for empowering themselves as siblings and also for helping their siblings get along in the community,” says Stephens. The program (therapeutic but not therapy) has served about 20 families since it began two years ago at Rowell. More recently, a second chapter started in Chico. Sibling Support Project Director Don Meyer ensures the integrity of the Sibshop program through shared standards of practice, training and group registration. He conducts the two-day facilitator trainings himself. Currently, there are more than 475 Sibshops in eight countries.

Meyer’s work with siblings grew out of his earlier work with fathers of children with disabilities at the University of Washington’s Supporting Extended Family Members Program. “We saw there were a lot of similarities with other family members,” says Meyer. “Just about anything you can say about being a parent of a child with diverse abilities, you can say about the siblings.” Online groups include SibTeen, Sib20 (age 18-early 30s) and SibNet for adults, which Meyer says is often found by people looking for assistance when trying to make long-term care arrangements for a sibling. “Probably no one logs more hours over the long haul with that sibling than the brothers and sisters,” says Meyer. “Often I meet people in their 40s who have never had a chance to check in with a peer about their experiences. That is a long time to wait for validation. We would never make a parent wait that long to check in with another parent.” Sibshops help kids learn about the services their sibling is getting. They talk about how to handle situations like stares in public and vying for their parents attention. They also ask and answer questions, and simply have fun. The pressure of negotiating between the needs of a child with differing abilities and the world outside can cause stress and anxiety within a family, says Stephens. “When a Sibshop sibling can say, ‘This is what I did when I went to the mall and they were laughing at my sister,’ it means a lot to other siblings. There is comfort in that,” he says. Stephens hopes soon to assemble a panel of adults who can share perspective and experience with younger siblings to help them see how their short-term frustrations might be transformed into opportunity. • (530) 226-5129 • www.rfenc.org • www.siblingsupport.org
