Let the fireworks fly – it’s the Fourth of July. Would you like to cool off, relax and enjoy some of the North State’s most treasured national resources at the same time? Try your hand at fly fishing. If you’re brand new, consider enlisting a guide, who might give up a secret or two if you ask nicely. Or explore our beautiful Sacramento River by kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard (and meet some fascinating people) during Paddle California, a 100mile trip from Redding to Chico. Grab an iced coffee at Heritage Roasting Company in Shasta Lake and strike up a conversation with Stuart and Sara Sutherland, the proprietors who have poured their hearts into building an inspirational community space. Or if you’re in Chico, the T Bar & Fusion Café is a comfy, eclectic spot to enjoy a spot of tea or an imaginative lunchtime treat. When the mercury skyrockets, one point of refuge is a cool theater. Shasta College’s Theater Department is working hard right this minute to fine-tune their production of Mel Brooks’ “The Producers,” which opens July 7 for a three-week run. We’ll tell you more about the folks behind the scenes. Meanwhile, we’ll help you find the perfect-fitting swimsuit (yes, there is such a thing!) so you can bask poolside with the utmost confidence. Don’t forget your sunscreen. Have you joined us for Movies in the Park yet? We’ll be in Anderson River Park during the month of July, so come on down and beat the heat while enjoying a film on our inflatable outdoor screen.

SPOTLIGHT ON BEN ADAMS We’re sure many local business owners from Colusa County all the way up to Siskiyou County (and several counties in between) have seen this guy pop in and out of their shops with a smile and a nod delivering the newest issue of Enjoy Magazine. The job is a perfect fit for Ben. He’s retired and he loves to drive. He has logged well over 1.5 million miles in just over 55 years and has driven to 34 states and three provinces in Canada, meeting some wonderful people along the way. Since July 2008, Ben has been our delivery guy for Enjoy. It takes him five days to do his constantly changing route and he puts roughly 1,300 miles on his truck each month making those deliveries. Some might say that Ben is always on the move. He played softball for many years locally, and in travelling tournaments, but now that his softball years are over, he keeps fit by riding his bicycle about 50 miles per week. “It’s fun to hook up the trailer, grab my wife and head out of town to some of the many organized rides available,” says Ben. His other love is music. He learned to play the accordion as a child and plays five different instruments. Keyboard and bass guitar are his preference. We’re grateful for Ben for keeping our distribution locations filled with magazines and for being so cheerful everytime he checks into the office. He always thanks us for supporting his habit. We’ve definitely got a good thing going on. 10 | ENJOY JULY 2016

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MAZZOTTA FAMILY! June was a crazy month for James and Yvonne Mazzotta. All three of their boys reached big milestones and there was a lot of celebrating to do. Their oldest son, Gianno, graduated from Redding Christian High School. He received a basketball scholarship to Simpson University and will be attending in the fall. Their twins, Nicco and Corrado, were promoted from eighth grade and will be high school freshmen in August—Nicco will attend Redding Christian School and Corrado will be at Shasta High School. It’s been such a treat to watch these boys grow into smart, caring, fine young men. Congratulations!

THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE is celebrating its 100th birthday, and the gifts are all for you: forest trails, bubbling mud pots, glassy lakes, splashy waterfalls, massive volcanoes, towering redwoods and ancient lava tubes. “It really provides an opportunity to reconnect with the American public,” Lassen Volcanic National Park Superintendent Steve Gibbons says of the Aug. 25 centennial. “National parks represent the conservation message for the United States,” Whiskeytown National Recreation Area Superintendent Jim Milestone notes. “These unique landscapes are something that we really value.” The National Park Service’s birthday wish is for people to spend time in a park. In Northern California, that’s a cinch. We’re got Lassen Park, Whiskeytown, Lava Beds National Monument and Redwood National and State Parks. Centennial programs across the nation began last year and continue through 2016. The goal is getting more people— particularly young adults and children—to experience and value national parks. “We’re really reaching out to that next generation. We need those advocates,” Gibbons says.
Lassen is celebrating two other 100-year milestones too: • The 100-year anniversary of Lassen Peak’s big explosion in May 1915 following a year of steamy, ashy outbursts from the volcano after 27,000 years of quiet. • The 100th birthday of the park on Aug. 9. Lassen was among the first national parks, designated ahead of high-profile areas like the Grand Canyon and a couple weeks before the National Park Service came to be. “It’s a pretty exciting time to be here … Most parks just get to celebrate the National Park Service’s centennial,” Gibbons says. National parks are important to Northern California. Visitors infuse millions of dollars into nearby communities each year from money spent on gas, food, lodging and other services. But the parks also are special places for North State residents—strongly linked to the region’s identity and offering areas for exploration, recreation and relaxation. “I feel Whiskeytown really improves the quality of life for people in Shasta County,” Milestone says. “Within 10 or 15 minutes of Redding, you can come over the ridge and be in a natural and beautiful landscape.”4 continued on page 16 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 15

Whiskeytown and Lassen are rich in biological diversity with interesting plants and creatures. “We’ve got bald eagles, Pacific fishers, salamanders, turtles, bears, mountain lions … Whiskeytown is pretty wild. It’s a pretty incredible place,” Milestone says. Both Lassen and Whiskeytown like to play up their dark sides too. Without the haze of artificial light from urban areas, stars pop against the night skies. “We’re not nearly as affected by light pollution. That’s another resource that I think a lot of people don’t think about,” Gibbons says. Protecting resources and preserving history are key roles of national parks. “You have both this natural and cultural history of the United States woven together in the quilt of the National Park Service,” Milestone notes. There are 407 National Park Service sites. The first national park was Yellowstone, designated in 1872. Early parks were managed under a mix of agencies and didn’t always share the same emphasis on preventing exploitation. Establishing the National Park Service was crucial to protecting the nation’s treasured places, Milestone says. The centennial is a time to look back and ahead. Whiskeytown uses prescribed burns as part of a long-term approach to promote healthy, old-growth forest for the future. Trails are being rehabilitated and developed and programs created. New this summer are ranger-led stand-up-paddleboard tours. Lassen Park this summer celebrates the renovated Lassen Peak Trail and opening of Volcano Adventure Camp for youth campers. Further ahead is creation of Lassen Center for Collaborative Studies. Gibbons sees it as a resource for U.S. Geological Survey, NASA, University of California and others conducting research in the park. “We would be providing office space, classrooms, meeting space and hopefully overnight accommodations to facilitate research,” Gibbons says. What will things look like 100 years from now? “I would hope it would look even better, due to public support and research that informs and supports our resource management systems,” Gibbons says. “I wish I could see it,” Milestone says of Whiskeytown in 100 years with old-growth forests. “It will really be a spectacular place to visit.” • Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding.

T H E H I S TO R I C D U R H A M H O U S E I N N B E D & B R E A K FA S T A B&B IS A B&B IS A B&B, RIGHT? If it’s got a bed and there’s breakfast involved, just about any four walls and roof can pass for a bed and breakfast these days, and as anybody who has traveled the length and width of this great state knows: B&Bs are a dime a dozen. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, a house with historic appeal and period charm, you don’t need to sift through the chaff or drive too many miles to find a truly beautiful home, a living relic replete with all the hospitality and comfort belonging to its era. You’ll find it less than 90 minutes south of Redding at the Durham House Inn. California Assemblyman W. W. Durham and wife Minnie Van Ness, daughter of San Francisco Mayor James
Van Ness, built the Victorian Italianate in 1874. In its heyday, the house likely hosted parties that even Jay Gatsby would have envied, but by the time James and Cheryl Fuhring came across the house, it practically lay in ruins. “Probably about 16 years ago, we were living in and restoring a big house called Snowball Mansion in Knights Landing,” Fuhring clarifies, when he came across a sale listing for Durham House in Old House Journal. Their daughter then attended Chico State University, “and since it’s right next to Chico, we drove up to take a look.” “It was in tear-down condition,” says James Fuhring, who bought the Durham House about 10 years ago – more than 100 years after it was built.4 continued on page 20
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 19
“The house was in such horrible condition,” he continues, explaining how the parcel’s original 440 acres had dwindled to its last 13. In the 1990s, a developer bought the home from the Wheelock family, who had bought the house at auction in 1938, after the son of W.W. Durham lost the property to the bank. That developer planned to further parcel the property, using 11.5 of the remaining 13 acres to develop Victorian-inspired houses. The county agreed under the condition the exterior of Durham House was restored. By the time the Fuhrings saw the house, it was sitting on its last 1.5 acres, and though the exterior had been restored, the interior was, well, not something you’d want to sleep in, let alone turn into a B&B. “Definitely not,” Fuhring says with a laugh, “though I really liked the floor plan, and it had a lot of possibilities.” As fortune would have it, about five years later, the house went on the market again, “and whoever bought it when the developer sold it had done the inside.” This time, the Fuhrings pulled the trigger. They sold Snowball Mansion and purchased Durham House, becoming its fifth owners. Though they didn’t initially transform the Durham House into an inn, it was probably a foregone conclusion. They’d already owned historic homes both in San Jose and Knights Landing, which they had transformed into B&Bs. “We spent our whole lives collecting Victorian pieces,” adds Fuhring, “so we already had all the furniture.” But their interest in period furniture (and homes), Fuhring says, “almost started by accident.” When the couple married in their 20s, James enjoyed making furniture as a hobby, until “I just happened on an antique store and the quality of the furniture and the price – I couldn’t make it for what
20 | ENJOY JULY 2016 2016
they were selling it for.” So, Fuhring began collecting and restoring quality pieces from yard sales, antique stores, you name it. By the time the Fuhrings moved into Durham House, they already had the furniture to recreate an authentic atmosphere. “Everything in the house was either made in the 1870s or 1880s,” says Fuhring. From ornately carved bed stands and dressers to finely printed wallpapers and historic prints, the Durham House Inn is a portrait in itself. Every bedroom has its own porch facing separate directions, and no room shares a common wall. A collection of Maxwell Parish prints can be found in every room. “We have some historic furniture, too,” adds Fuhring. “We have a dining room table and a server that actually belonged to the widow of John Brown the abolitionists from the civil war.” Durham certainly has an old-era authenticity, but the hospitality and service are as fresh as the hand-squeezed orange juice they serve mornings – made from oranges grown right on the property. Both Fuhrings operate the Inn, though Cheryl handles the breakfast. The house itself, says Fuhring, “there’s a feel about it. If you really like old houses, there’s just a feel that can’t be duplicated.” • Durham House Inn 2280 Durham-Dayton Highway, Durham 530-342-5900 • www.durhamhouseinn.com

Paddling GOOD TIMES
Paradise C R U I S E D OW N T H E S AC R A M E N TO R I V E R W I T H PA D D L E C A L I F O R N I A EARLY THIS FALL, a group of about 40 paddlers of all kinds will take a 100-mile trip down the Sacramento River, from Redding to Chico, enjoying the unique flora and fauna of the river while they travel. With four days of paddling and three nights of camping, they’ll clock about 25 miles each day, stopping along the river for lunch. The event, called Paddle California, has been going on for years, but is now being run by Chico-based Sacramento River Preservation Trust. “Our goal is to get people out on the river, experiencing it firsthand, in order to drive home the message that preservation is crucial,” says Lucas RossMerz, the trust’s program manager. The cost of the trip includes all meals, trained river guides, shuttling of all gear and a chartered van to transport participants back from Chico to Redding. Paddlers – using kayaks, canoes and even stand-up
paddleboards – travel at a leisurely pace for about five to six hours a day. Experience isn’t required, but the group offers training clinics in advance for those who want to get their feet wet and gain some skills beforehand. Participants must know how to swim and must wear personal flotation devices while on the water. At 447 miles in length, the Sacramento is California’s largest river. It carries about a third of the state’s total surface runoff. The stretch traveled during the trip is considered safe, with no named rapids. With very little woody debris, it’s also smooth sailing most of the way. “It’s an awesome stretch of river. It’s amazing to have this kind of wilderness sandwiched in between the freeways. It’s not a remote section of the4 continued on page 24

“Every kid in Redding should be going down this river. They should be touching, fishing, hiking this river. It’s a clean resource and an amazing place to learn. Once you learn, you open up the world; there’s always a river. It’s the line that connects us all together.”
river, but it makes you think you’re in a remote area,” says Joe Arbuckle of Headwaters Adventure in Redding, which sponsors some gear swaps and partners with the river trust. The beauty and renown of the Sacramento draws not just locals to the paddle trip, but adventurers from the Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Canada and England. “It’s a special time because our group gets to know each other and they end up exchanging numbers and keeping in touch,” says RossMerz. And, he says, the river is higher and safer in the summer, with flows that he predicts will be “phenomenal” this year because Shasta Dam is full “The north end, just before Red Bluff, was my favorite part,” says Jay Henderson, anexperienced kayaker from Redding who went last year. “The water gets really smooth down near Chico. We turned off of the main river onto a slough, out of the main flow of the current and had our meal there. It was beautiful and peaceful.” Henderson also notes with appreciation that in the evenings, live music was provided by local musicians who met the group at its campsite. Those who go on the trip can bring their own equipment or rent it. They’re offered ample opportunity to try out new gear, too. “We want to help people find the best equipment for their needs,” says RossMerz. “Maybe it’s someone’s first time trying the new carbon fiber paddles or a stand-up paddleboard.”4 continued on page 26

When the paddlers come off the water to their campsites at night, there’s a catered dinner, entertainment and resource speakers. Last year, Bill Kuntz of the Bureau of Land Management spoke about the history and uses of the land and river. Part of the river trust’s mission in putting on Paddle California is to promote a healthy environment in which to do paddle sports. As they work to preserve threatened and endangered species, they also highlight the benefits of partnership between agencies and the paddle industry. Those who take the trip are offered the chance to engage with professional retailers to make sure they’re getting in the right boat to accomplish their goals as paddlers.

INTERSECTING CULTURES
A N N S I T T I G T E L L S A S TO RY O F T H E M AYA N S A M O N G U S THERE WAS A DEGREE OF REVERENCE Redding’s Ann Sittig took in opening the box of her first book, “The Mayans Among Us,” when it arrived at her doorstep in March. “The whole process, because I work full time as an instructor and my co-author is a mother of four, took over 10 years,” she says, clearly in awe that the process is complete. The book, published by the University of Nebraska Press, is a rare glimpse into the lives of Mayan women who have immigrated to the Great Plains to work in the meatpacking plants. “We wanted this book that is about Nebraska to be published by that press,” says the Lincoln, Neb., native. “For me, it was like coming home working with them.” Sittig, a tenured Spanish instructor at Shasta College, marvels at the turn of events that led to her research, including her introduction to co-author Martha Florinda Gonzalez. Fresh out of a Fulbright grant in Peru and her PhD program at the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain, she took a teaching job at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha and joined a research team working under the U.S. Department of Education and looking at the intersection of Mayan and Winnebago Native American cultures.4 continued on page 30

“WE WERE SPENDING ALL THIS TIME AND MONEY TO GO STUDY The research had Sittig traveling to Guatemala and Belize to meet Mayans. She had to do a double take, then, when she witnessed two Mayan Guatemalan women in their traditional cortes (skirts) walking into a store in South Omaha. “We were spending all this time and money to go study the Mayans and they were right here among us,” she says. Sittig became eager to learn their stories and approached the Catholic religious community to gain access. A priest had her make a presentation during Mass one Sunday, and that talk led to the meeting of Gonzalez, a Mayan woman who had been in the process of earning her master’s degree in political science from the Universidad Rafael Landivar in Guatemala City when she emigrated to the United States. Gonzalez had served on the Coordinating Commission for Indigenous Women, the Technical Commission for Negotiations and on the Commission for Women as well as the Peace Processes in Guatemala in the aftermath of the more than 30year civil war that claimed approximately 200,000 indigenous lives. “They didn’t feel that anyone had asked them their story,” says Sittig of the many Mayans she and Gonzalez interviewed for the book. “Their story is largely similar to our own of working and supporting our families and having a home.” Yet their story is also unique. They are Central Americans who largely speak indigenous languages, not Spanish. And they have escaped war to seek peace and prosperity in a country where English is the native language and most other immigrants in their area speak Spanish. The new start has come largely through work in meatpacking plants. It’s physically and psychologically demanding work that not many want to do, but that immigrants have found success at. “I have a special affection for immigrants in

Employment Opportunities: Greenville Rancheria is hiring for the following positions in Red Bluff & Greenville, CA. an M.D. and/or D.O. Registered Nurse (C.D.E.), and Certified Medical Assistants.
WISE There are endless benefits to getting regular dental checkups and dental cleanings. Such as: 1. Prevent cavities or discover them before they get bigger 2. Stop tooth loss due to caries or gum disease 3. Brighten your smile 4. Freshen your breath 5. Save you money 6. Boost your overall health The benefits of bi-annual dental checkups are almost endless, as your teeth have an effect on your whole body – from your appearance to your health! When was the last time you visited your dentist? A teeth cleaning is more vital than most people imagine. Your cleaning will remove plaque and build up that flossing and brushing can miss. By having plaque and build up removed, you can enjoy a far lower risk for cavities and other painful dental procedures. If you wait until you are experiencing dental pain to go visit your dentist, you are putting yourself at risk for a number of inconvenient consequences and that might be too late! Have you ever been to the dentist and found out that you
have a cavity without noticing any symptoms? Dentists can detect cavities before they become aching problems. By going on regular checkups with your dentist, you end up saving a lot of time and money on dental procedures. Gum disease, which starts with build-up plaque, is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. As gum disease advances, plaque moves further down the tooth where it can destroy the supporting bone in your jaw, causing teeth to loosen and fall out. The chance of this happening to you can be greatly reduced through regular dental cleanings combined with good oral hygiene habits. A Child’s First Dental Visit. The American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry say that the first dental visit should occur within six months after the baby’s first tooth appears, but no later than the child’s first birthday. A dentist will be able to show you how to clean your child’s teeth, discuss diet and fluoride needs and recommend oral care products. Each child has different oral health needs. Having a well-baby checkup at this age also connects your child to a dental home. This is a “home base” for dental care, a place where you can take your child from year to year.

THE MAYANS AND THEY WERE RIGHT HERE AMONG US,” SHE SAYS. the U.S.,” says Sittig. “They go through a lot to come here and do the hard work.” The book is highly accessible and was written so intentionally. “I’m more of a community person than an academic person,” says Sittig. Although the book has been subject to the rigors of an academic press, it is published as a trade book to reach a wider audience. “I feel it’s a story that needs to be told.” Gonzalez flew out in April to do a series of readings and events with Sittig both on and off the Shasta College campus in support of the book release. In November, Sittig will fly out to Nebraska for a series of presentations there. Until then, she will continue to support Shasta College students as a beloved instructor and club adviser to the Latin@s Unid@s Networking Alliance on campus. “We try to create more awareness about Latino culture and issues on campus and in the community,” she says. She is particularly passionate about supporting first-generation college students as they navigate the educational system. Additionally, she says, “We do activities to show how much we love and respect our bilingualism and biculturalism.” “My weakness in life is that when I see social injustice I have to react,” says Sittig. While the book was 10 years in development, she feels its release in 2016 is particularly timely. “The way that it turned out was just perfect, the way that it should be.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

H E R I TA G E R O A S T I N G CO M PA N Y “IT’S A MYSTERIOUS THING. The more I pursued it, the better it got.” Stuart Sutherland of Heritage Roasting Company in Shasta Lake made that statement when describing the beginnings of his passion for excellent coffee. Add Sara Sutherland’s Weaverville upbringing and you broaden the flavor with a small-town atmosphere of community that influences both the barista and customer sides of the coffee bar. Dialogues at the store often go beyond power connecting. Visitors and regulars also find a monthly rotated gallery of creativity on their walls provided by local artists. Stu believes coffee is a centerpiece for community. It creates a catalytic space where decisions large and small are made, relationships are formed and maintained and creatives find inspirational freedom for their work. Stu and Sara pace their employees to create a "third space" environment that gets away from home and work. The baristas provide quick service, but take time to learn names and hear stories; nothing rushed. Stu tells of a once-a-month gathering called a throw-down. Baristas from the coffee community attend rotated hosting cafes to have a friendly competition over latte art. Its undercurrent spurs on quality, because everyone there wants to pour great art; plus, getting them in the same room is another level of catalyzing. Sara says the throw-down has taken on a life of its own in Redding after more than a year, with the baristas taking the reins and creating events.4 continued on page 34 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 33
Getting together with two other roasters in the Redding area in an unofficial guild keeps Stu’s eyes open to the different angles and perspectives of his roasting expertise and makes him a better roaster. It's yet another venue of relationship around town. Stu’s adventure with coffee fired up when he was 13, working at a kiosk in downtown Sacramento. It percolated in the background in the early years while he explored a “real job.” He eventually left a 12year love of architecture to pursue his passion for people, community and coffee. Sara, amusingly, remembers her coffee beginnings with Folgers and Coffeemate. Her parents bought an espresso machine for her while she was in high school, taking coffee to a stronger level. Her current coffee values and inspirations flow from Stu. In the progress of things, Stu learned the craft of roasting and wholesaling his wares. Already self accomplished, he attended the American Barista and Coffee School in Portland, which affirmed his abilities, enlarged on small details and allowed him to experience Thursday Night Throw-downs. In their latest adventure, Stu and Sara were invited to be guest speakers at a first-ever coffee conference in Mongolia. They brought to the table their passion to integrate coffee and community in a predominantly tea-drinking culture that has been swinging quickly toward coffee in recent years. They also spent 10 days in a local shop training baristas and their roaster. Given a perspective that the United States is about 20 years into a serious coffee culture, Stu says Mongolia has caught up quickly through its coffee phases and appears to be only three to five years behind current trends. Sara points out that the Mongolians are very kind people, but their historical warrior toughness and strength was getting in the way of community in the coffee culture. "For us to say, 'Your competitors can be your friends and your community,' was paramount." The best parts of coffee culture revolve around community. It allows for more and more people to have a better coffee experience as people gravitate from shop to shop. But Sara and Stu’s desire to see Shasta Lake and its businesses thrive communally didn’t stop downstairs in the cafe. The upper level has several community center rooms for special occasions and neighborhood connections. The volunteer-run Hub gathers the after-school crowd for mentoring, tutoring, creative workshops and a fun space to hang out. Heritage volunteers and baristas come from various walks of life and share their passion for connection. Visibly, Shasta Lake isn't just a place of coffee business for the Sutherlands. It is their home and they have dreams of extending their borders. They have planted fruit trees at the cafe site as a self-portrait of their intention to remain. And they have a vision to build a separate two-story building to expand the bean roasting and house other businesses for like-minded entrepreneurs. For the second story, they see a reality of a collaborative work space: a rising flavor in commerce. With positively intentional commitment, encouragement and influence like theirs, Heritage Roasting Company aims to be a channel that creates a new legacy for Shasta Lake. •

T R I N I T Y A L P S G O L F CO U R S E A N D R E S TA U R A N T WEAVERVILLE’S CHERISHED GOLF COURSE was on the ropes. The restaurant and bar was about to become a church and a developer was envisioning a housing project on the nine-hole layout. The idea of saying goodbye to 40 years’ worth of gatherings, good times and golf did not sit well with many in the small, close-knit town. They had already seen the movie theater go out of business and a popular restaurant shut its doors—adding the golf course to that sad list would have been one closure too many. “We could not afford to lose this course. We had people saying if anything happens to the golf course, they’ll move,” says Cheryl Gilbertson, herself a sixth-generation Weaverville resident. “Once it was gone, we knew we’d never be able to resurrect it. We just didn’t want to let it go,” adds Will Shaw of Junction City.
The response was an honest-to-goodness grassroots movement to save Trinity Alps Golf and Country Club, only these heroes rode in on riding lawnmowers. Others raided their own sheds for shovels, rakes, tools, plumbing supplies, pruning shears and even old-fashioned push mowers. They attacked the course and the restaurant/bar, both of which had been stripped bare after the previous owners walked away from the business in 2013. It was an all-volunteer labor of love by people who love golf and love their community. Initially, enough work was put in to keep the course open and playable. Golfers would slide their green fees under a door; if they were thirsty, they could grab a cold drink out of a refrigerator and make a donation. Portable bathrooms were set up because the clubhouse itself was locked up. 4 continued on page 38 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 37
That stop-gap arrangement was good for a little more than a year, but then the property owner, Kathy Rose, found herself in a position where she needed to sell the parcel with the restaurant and bar on it. “She was about ready to sell to a church. She knew the course would cease to exist and it almost broke her heart,” Gilbertson says. (Rose’s father, Vic, purchased the land in 1954 and kept it in the family trust to ensure the community could enjoy a golf course. The late Felix Claveran built and operated the course for 26 years before moving to Brookings, Ore., to develop a new course.) With the clock ticking, fans of the course put their heads together to come up with a plan. George Loegering, a part-time Trinity Center resident who golfs at Trinity Alps, brought up the idea of an ownership group. Gilbertson’s father, Dick Morris, favored the idea too and soon the formation of a limited liability company, or LLC, was underway. Gilbertson, who volunteers as the general manager, says she was not sure how difficult it would be to raise the needed money, but in the end, all 35 shares in the LLC were quickly acquired at $10,000 each. “Everybody has been so excited that we’re open again. They’ve been coming out to support us and it’s just been wonderful. I didn’t know how easy it would be to get investors, but now we have a waiting list. It’s just been heartwarming.” With keys to the operation in hand, a group of investors, golfers and community members went to work. The task at hand was daunting: The restaurant and bar had been gutted; the kitchen needed to be rebuilt; appliances needed to be purchased; walls needed to be painted; a roof needed to be replaced; the golf course needed a working irrigation system; and a pair of bocce ball courts had to be installed. They wanted a golf course, restaurant and community center they could be proud of, and they put in the work to make it happen. “It wasn’t an easy fix,” admits Shaw, but people were willing to give of their time, skills and money. “We saved tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, due to people who wanted to donate” their time and talents, he said. Molly Contos, the spirited events coordinator/party director at the course, says the community’s effort has resulted in a facility capable of hosting proms, weddings, retirement parties, tournaments and other events. “When I say it was a labor of love, I mean it. There were so many silent heroes,” says Contos, who is often seen patrolling the fairways in a hot pink golf cart that she has nicknamed “Pinky Tuscadero.” For Weaverville native Burke Adrian, an avid golfer who now lives in Sacramento, the decision to become an investor was an easy one: “It was my love of the game coinciding with the love of my hometown, and my belief along with the others who joined in.” With Trinity County’s economy continuing to struggle, Weaverville’s little golf course grew in importance, says Adrian, who 38 | ENJOY JULY 2016
has a seat on the association’s board of directors. “This is a wholesome, family-oriented activity that we need to foster,” he says, adding that the Trinity High School golf program will benefit too. “And now I’m kind of committed, so I have a reason to go see my hometown once a month and be involved in the rebuilding of this place.” • Trinity Alps Golf & Country Club 130 Golf Course Drive, Weaverville (530) 623-6209 • www.trinityalpsgolf.com

She’s probably picked up 20 different styles, and is likely to settle on the lesser of the 20 evils, because, well, she hasn’t learned the fine art of shopping for a suit that flatters her figure most. Whether she’s looking to balance out a more-than-ample bustline or trying to add curviness to a smaller derriere – or a multitude of other challenge areas to account for in between – the struggle is real, and we’ve all been there. Follow along as we guide you to the one that is best suited to your fabulous-at-any-shape-and-size figure.
THE STRUGGLE: A small bust THE SOLUTION: Embellishments are your friend. Ruffles, fringe and beading help add dimension to a smaller top portion. Triangle bikini tops with subtle padding are ideal, offering minimal coverage and maximum style.
THE STRUGGLE: Broad shoulders THE SOLUTION: Look for solid onepiece styles with patterned side panels, as they will give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Asymmetrical necklines are a stylish and functional option, bringing balance where it’s needed most.
THE STRUGGLE: A large bust THE SOLUTION: Bypass the string bikini. Tiny triangles aren’t enough to adequately corral “the girls.” Skip the bold colors, patterns or embellishments on top, as well. Instead, opt for tops that are labeled according to cup size (as opposed to those labeled as “small,” “medium” or “large”). Styles with molding and underwire, wider straps and more coverage in the back area will provide the most flattering support.
THE STRUGGLE: A small derriere THE SOLUTION: Ruching and texture on a swimsuit bottom are the most obvious ways to add dimension, but also consider styles with brightly colored or boldly patterned bottoms. Avoid full coverage bottoms – particularly boy shorts, as they will only further minimize a small posterior.
THE STRUGGLE: A large derriere THE SOLUTION: Skip the high-cut bottoms, string bikinis, boy shorts and thick banded bottoms. Consider a cut with a solidcolored, straight skirted bottom - sans ruffles. Printed tops and plunging necklines help balance out a large bottom by creating the illusion of a more proportionate upper body. THE STRUGGLE: An athletic build THE SOLUTION: If you need help creating curves, padded tops and bottoms with side gathers are on your team. Look for brightly colored swimsuits with feminine patterns to bring out the softer side of a muscular build. A contrasting top and bottom helps to create more defined curves. A monokini is a great option. Pass on the bandeau tops and boy short bottoms, though, as they’ll bring you right back to square one (no pun intended).4 continued on page 42 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 41
THE STRUGGLE: The tummy pooch THE SOLUTION: Peplums, high-waisted designs and tankinis are sweet yet sassy options to call attention away from a fuller stomach area. A one piece with a crossover fabric at the waist and a plunging neckline will help whittle the middle and draw the eyes upward. THE STRUGGLE: Love handles THE SOLUTION: Skip low-cut-in-theback styles and monokinis, as they will draw attention to a wider middle. High-waisted bottoms that extend above the belly button are the cure for “muffin top.” And they are all the rage this season. Winning! THE STRUGGLE: Back fat THE SOLUTION: Opt for a one piece swimsuit with a higher back and wide straps. Consider a plunging neckline to add a dash of sexy to this classic style swimsuit. THE STRUGGLE: A short torso THE SOLUTION: Low-rise bottoms coupled with a halter top have an elongating effect, helping to create a more proportionate balance between your torso and the length of your legs. THE STRUGGLE: Short legs THE SOLUTION: High-cut bottoms help to create the illusion of longer legs while drawing just the right amount of attention to your curves.
42 | ENJOY JULY 2016
THE STRUGGLE: Full thighs THE SOLUTION: Look for styles with more coverage on the bottom. The comeback of vintage styles means that a sassy skirt bottom won’t compromise style while covering up larger upper legs.
THE STRUGGLE: Sun-sensitive skin THE SOLUTION: Long-sleeved tops offer sportiness and style while protecting you from the damaging effects of the sun. A burn is not the souvenir you’ll want to take away from a fun day of outdoor water play.
THE STRUGGLE: Big hips and skinny legs THE SOLUTION: Elongate your clavicle area with a low cut or asymmetrical top, which will create an exciting yet functional balance for an out-of-proportion bottom half.
THE STRUGGLE: A baby bump THE SOLUTION: A two-piece tankini is the perfect option for a growing belly. It’ll protect you and your little bun in the oven from sun exposure while making inevitable bathroom breaks a breeze.
THE STRUGGLE: Cellulite THE SOLUTION: Try a swim-dress or tankini style to offer full coverage without compromising on the sassiness. Find a color that you love. With more options available in these styles in 2016, you’re sure to find one you’ll be happy with. THE STRUGGLE: A noticeable scar THE SOLUTION: If your scar is on the upper portion of the body, consider a crop top style that provides coverage while maintaining sexiness. One pieces with stylish mesh insets help cover up scars on the torso. Bold, strappy designs can help detract from scars and may just cover them up entirely while creating a fun, edgy look.
Swimsuit shopping doesn’t have to induce a fitting room meltdown. Be realistic about what works best for your figure, shop accordingly, and don’t forget to put on the best suit of all: your confidence. • Kimberly N.

PRODUCTION INSTRUCTION
S H A S TA CO L L E G E ’ S N E W T H E AT E R A R T S I N S T R U C TO R , G R E G O RY T H O R S O N GREGORY THORSON WAS A KINDERGARTNER when he saw a professional stage production of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” He remembers being thrilled by the swordplay. And he remembers a 5-year-old discovering a lifelong passion for theater. That passion remains 31 years later, only now it has been fortified by a master’s and a doctorate in theater, fueled by several years of professional experience and now fully engaged in Shasta College’s Theater Department. Thorson, 36, has completed two semesters as Shasta College’s only full-time theater arts instructor and he says he’s still thankful for the opportunity. For one, the job market is tough—Thorson says he applied for 60 positions in a two-year period and the Shasta vacancy attracted 80 applicants—so he feels lucky to be in a school setting. And as a native of Medford and a graduate of the University of Oregon in Eugene, he developed a keen appreciation for the outdoors. “I feel like it’s a really good fit. I enjoy teaching at the community college level. You get students with a lot of diverse backgrounds,” says Thorson, who taught for a year at a community college in Denver after earning his master’s and doctorate from the University of Colorado in Boulder. Thorson divides his time between classroom instruction and directing. In his first year, he directed “The Miracle Worker” and “As You Like It.” He is currently directing Mel Brooks’ “The Producers,” which opens July 7 for a three-week run.4 continued on page 46 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 45
“I really enjoy the classroom and I love theater history,” Thorson says, “but I also love directing; I directed my first play when I was 17. It’s almost like an academic study or giving on-stage lessons.” Hilary Fahey, an adjunct instructor who has been Shasta College’s costume designer for the past six years, appreciates Thorson’s style on stage and in the classroom. “He’s very calm, which I think is very important in theater, and he’s very professional and well organized. Everything he does circles back to pedagogy: He is a teacher and he’s there to teach all students about theater.” As a director, Thorson’s encouraging demeanor inspires more students to audition for roles and helps them develop their acting skills when they get on stage, Fahey says. “I’ve seen him draw out some great performances from his students.” Shasta College student and up-and-coming actor Blake Fisher, last seen as Bert in the Cascade Theatre production of “Mary Poppins,” says Thorson has improved his understanding of theater. “He has been able to open our eyes to the terminology and vocabulary needed to be on stage. I enjoy his take on finding the humor in scenes and I have been able to understand the tactics of contrasting a scene and character,” says Fisher, who has been cast as Leo Bloom in “The Producers.” Mat McDonald, an adjunct instructor at Shasta who focuses on hair and makeup, says Thorson’s professional experience, including directing off-Broadway plays for New York’s Roundabout Theatre Co. and a stint with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival as an administrator, dramaturge and assistant director, adds to his credibility. “He has recent experience in professional theater, so he knows what is needed there, and I think he will be a good bridge for people who may want to make theater a career,” McDonald says. Thorson made strides in expanding his students’ experience by involving Shasta in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. This network of more than 600 schools provides for outside assessments of student productions that culminates in the awarding of Irene Ryan Acting Scholarships. 46 | ENJOY JULY 2016
A pair of instructors from Humboldt State University selected Fisher, Marissa Cozens and Christian Crozier to the regional competition in Denver, where they performed monologues, attended a play and participated in workshops. “It was great for them to get that experience and to see the great many types of theater that lie out there,” Thorson says. Fisher agrees: “It is such a wonderful opportunity for students involved in theater programs across the country. The days were full of workshops, classes and a competition to witness the best of the best. I was able to network and become close to students, opening up doors to schools where the next step is waiting.” Even though he’s teaching four classes a semester and has another four classes revolving around stage productions, Thorson says he’s eager to continue building the theater program. He’s hopeful “The Producers” will continue the school’s growth. Thorson picked the popular musical “because it’s hysterical. Mel Brooks knows satire. He walks that fine line between offensive, humorous and enlightening.” The spoof about a Broadway show also stars Bob Koroluck as shady producer Max Bialystock. Thorson says tapping the talents of community members like Koroluck and Elsie Ritchie and Ragan Ragan (who both performed in “The Miracle Worker”) reinforce Shasta College’s role as a learning institution and a community theater. “I’d like the community to see Shasta College as a place to enjoy lots of different kinds of theater, as a place to come and see good plays done well.” • “The Producers” will be performed at 7 pm July 7-9, 14-16 and 21-23, with 2 pm matinees July 10 and July 17 www.shastacollege.edu/theatre

ASK SOMEONE WHO FLY FISHES where his or her favorite water flows and you are likely to get either a vague reply or none at all, for passionate anglers keep their sacred spots a closely guarded secret. “It takes a lifetime to learn the waters,” says Greg Kennedy, one-half of the Fish Kennedy Brothers flyfishing duo and guide service, “so the fishing community is very tight-lipped in that regard.” Greg (32) and his older brother, Kris (38), grew up in Mammoth Lakes and agree their early memories are of spending time outdoors where “everything revolved around fish as a priority.” When they were in elementary school, their parents started a fly shop where they grew up doing their homework on shop tables. “Our babysitters were fly fishing guides.” While there is no “formal” training to become an expert guide, clinics and classes abound. And there is no substitute for the many hours of on-the-water experience. Both brothers have fished for more than two decades around the world. “The movie ‘A River Runs Through It’ (1999) changed our lives,” says Kris. “Our favorite rivers suddenly were inundated when fly fishing became cool.” Since those early days, the two have guided internationally as well: Kris in Patagonia and Greg in Russia. While they work as a team most of the year in Northern California, each summer Greg returns to Russia and Kris to Bristol Bay in Alaska. The Fly Shop, renowned as one of the biggest fly-fishing outfitters and travel organizations worldwide, offered Kris a position in 2003 and the two moved to Redding. “I was going to school at the time,” recalls Greg, “but this was a turning point. We both said, ‘This is what we want to do.’”4 continued on page 52
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 51
“Northern California has myriad locations for excellent fly fishing,” says Kris. “Our waters are famous for salmon, steelhead, trout, striped and small mouth bass. Many rivers are also open year round. Without question, these are some of the best waters anywhere.” Although many of their clients are seasoned anglers who come from around the country (and the world), others are novices who find their inexperience is not a disqualifier. A beginner’s package for one or two people is $50 above the guided day rate and the brothers will outfit clients with all the necessary equipment. “All they need is a fishing license and a good attitude,” says Greg. Lunch is included. Whether seasoned angler or novice, the two customize trips to client tastes. Those seeking an intimate experience may enjoy wading rather than rafting (for more adventurous travelers) or jet boating (which allows for fishing several spots through shallower waters). Those who desire a slower, more relaxed crawl over a larger part of the river with creature comforts at their fingertips are probably best suited to a drift boat trip. More than just a living, fly fishing is a passion for these two, who give back to others through organizations like Casting for Recovery for cancer survivors, Project Healing Waters for veterans, and Cast Hope, a national program that works with at-risk teens.
52 | ENJOY JULY 2016
“Our job as guides is often misrepresented,” says Greg. “We are not just there to help you catch fish, although this is a huge part of it. We are also there to educate on etiquette and ethics, about how to behave out on the river.” “Recognizing your impact while you are out there is important,” adds Kris. “It goes to everything from wetting your hands before handling the fish to holding your breath while it is out of the water and taking care so someone else can catch that fish another day.” • www.fishkennedybrothers.com
Claudia Mosby: My husband, Doyle, was an avid fly-fisherman. His passion was fishing for steelhead on the Klamath River. This story is a dedication in memoriam to Doyle Zane Mosby, September 1, 1950 - November 2, 2015. “Always in search of that big catch.”

PJ H E L I CO P T E R S I N R E D B L U F F THERE’S A DEGREE OF EXHILARATION for any pilot in flight, but there’s a special brand of excitement for someone in a helicopter with nerves of steel and skills precise enough to carry a lineman to an energized utility pole. At PJ Helicopters in Red Bluff, a family business started in 1968 as an agricultural aviation company, this type of activity has come to encompass about 65% of the business. “We’ve got a special niche with the power-line stuff,” says Mark Gunsauls, pilot and director of operations, as well as part of a secondgeneration team that includes his brothers, Mike and David. “We started in 2001 and developed 14 different work procedures with different power companies. We can actually work on a power line with a guy hanging from the helicopter and never have him touch the ground. And we just move them from tower to tower.” “It’s the highest level of technical/utility work,” adds Seth Gunsauls, director of business development and a member of the thirdgeneration team expanding the company. “It literally could be life or death. We’re performing maintenance on the towers while they’re energized.” The work, says Seth, is “everything from installation of brand new power lines, to upkeep of existing infrastructures, hydroelectric infrastructure, in some cases nuclear infrastructure, as well as gas.” The services of PJ Helicopters save time and money for energy companies, as they complete more from the air than they would hauling people and equipment to remote areas on the ground. “We
can patrol in the summer over 7,000 miles of transmission,” says Seth, noting that the company was able to support a new construction project in only 10 months which would have traditionally taken three years from the ground. Now that we are in the throes of fire season, PJ pilots are out in full force doing fire detection and suppression. “Forestry is growing more and more with the drought,” says Seth, “even though we had a wet winter.” From June through November, the company has pilots in four California regions spotting fires daily. “In the five hours they’re getting pretty good coverage,” says Seth. All smoke and active flames are reported to fire agencies.4 continued on page 56
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 55
PJ Helicopters employs a fleet of 26 helicopters and four fixed wing planes, all of which are maintained to rigorous standards by a team of 17 maintenance employees. Most helicopters are commonly referred to as Black Hawks, and have been acquired through U.S. government surplus auction. All have been in combat and are decommissioned through a highly detailed process. “We were the world’s first civilian commercial operator of the UH-60A (original Black Hawk),” says Seth, noting that PJ refurbishes Black Hawks (both UH-60A and the newer S70) not only for their own use, but for sale to others. One was recently shipped to Australia for forestry use. “We’re basically repairing it like a classic car,” he says. “We lighten them up as much as possible.” All ballistics, ammunition and highdollar surveillance equipment are removed before the machine is received. “Once you buy the airframe you have to pass a Department of Defense background check,” he explains. The refurbished machine then must pass inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration. “It’s an absolutely amazing helicopter,” says Seth. “It was built to be as intuitive as possible, as well as redundant and safe as possible. And they perform faster, stronger and will outperform any civilian helicopter that’s out there. The level of expertise needed to fly and maintain the PJ fleet has brought in employees from across the country, as well as Australia and New Zealand. “Our peak staffing last year was 82 people,” says Seth. The company’s sole female pilot hails from Utah and gets to return to her home state each summer on a fire contract. During the off season, pilots participate in training maneuvers and the mechanics perform deeper maintenance.

Casey Tingley left his job as a golf professional in Palm Springs to relocate to Red Bluff to work for the company as a project specialist. He jokes that he grew tired of the golf gig, but adds that the challenges of PJ have been rewarding. Recently, he says, “In the span of an hour and a half, I had a pilot in San Francisco taking a recently released hospital patient to Colorado.” The company is constructing its second helicopter hangar and is pleased with the steady growth it has achieved. As Seth Gunsauls puts it, “A large part of our work is to help keep you safe and help keep the lights on.” • www.pjhelicopters.com

M A K E A S P L A S H AT T S A S D I R E S O R T I N L A K E H E A D IN SPITE OF A HISTORY dating back more than six decades, Tsasdi Resort (pronounced ‘szawz-dee’), located in Lakehead, may be one of the best-kept secrets in the North State. While explanations vary as to the meaning of its name, proprietor Julie O’Loughlin says, “We had a Wintu chief who stayed here quite a bit last spring. He told us his grandmother’s name was Tsasdi, which in the Wintu language means Shasta.”
O’Loughlin and her partner, Scott Schipper, took up residence in January 2015, the fifth owners in as many generations, and they pride themselves on their customer service. “One of our key philosophies is that everything is included,” says Schipper. The largest private resort on Lake Shasta, Tsasdi sits on 20 acres with as many cabins, which can accommodate guests ranging from singles to parties of 12, with a resort capacity of 130.4 continued on page 60 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 59
“The top half of the property is nearly straight up,” says O’Loughlin. “It makes a great hike, but because of the vertical climb there aren’t any cabins up there.” If exploring by foot lacks appeal, a 2,000-foot communal deck beckons barbecuers, yogis and yoginis, and those who prefer relaxing while overlooking the lake. “Our state-of-the-art dock holds up to 30 boats,” says Schipper. “We also have kayaks, canoes and paddleboards that our guests can use, all included.” As are the swimming pool, volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoe pit, game room and year-round movies in the lodge. The duo will even create custom packages for summer visitors seeking things to do off property, says O’Loughlin. “Some groups have their agenda finalized and don’t need the guidance, but others are looking for additional ideas for activities in the region. We’ll offer as little or as much as they want.”

O’Loughlin moved to California with the intention of going to the Culinary Academy but says she ended up doing “parts of her passion” as a former executive at a large Silicon Valley corporate law firm. “All of that was about facilitating bonding in the corporate world,” she says. “Now it’s about facilitating for people on a more personal level.” Notwithstanding their sophistication as travelers, O’Loughlin admits, “I don’t know if I would have had the courage to do this if not for my mother passing away unexpectedly. Scott was willing to come along for the ride. He’s a critical part of this.” Initially focused on drawing visitors from the Bay Area, Portland, and Eugene in order to operate sustainably, they soon discovered a consistent stream of visitors from right here at home.4 continued on page 62

“We can’t emphasize how much the community has supported us,” O’Loughlin says. “We have about 15 weddings booked from Redding/Anderson this year, ranging from 70 to 200 guests. Even though a lot of the parties live locally, many are renting out the cabins and resort for the weekend, almost like a ‘destination wedding.’” Social media and online marketing have boosted their early success. Five months after launching their website, multiple reunion bookings have left them with little available lodging. Nine months after starting a Facebook page, Tsasdi Resort has more than 1,200 followers. “We often hear, ‘My friend shared something from Facebook,’ or ‘We read a review on Yelp or Trip Advisor,’” says O’Loughlin. “We also have couples that come out for a romantic weekend getaway every month.”

As for the personal reward, O’Loughlin sums it up well: “I get to look at this view. We see bald eagles on the island right across from us. Every single day we can go wakeboarding, hiking or skiing if we can fit it in. It’s an amazing life.” • www.tsasdiresort.us • (530) 238-2575 19990 Lakeshore Drive, Lakehead

ANA POPOVIC TA K E S T H E S TA G E I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E ANA POPOVIC ROCKS. Plain and simple. She’s a triple threat: an excellent singer, guitarist, and songwriter. And when you add her fiery stage performance, you’ve got yourself one bad-to-the-bone blues player. Born and raised in the war-torn town of Belgrade, in what used to be called Yugoslavia, she found her calling at an early age after being enchanted by the sounds of American blues and soul music through her musician father’s record collection. As a young teenager, Popovic remembers enrolling in a rock guitar school run by the famous Serbian guitar player Radomir Mihailovic, whose stage name was The Wheel. “His school basically taught rock riffs and rock history with a focus on bands such as ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin,” she recalls. After completing that part of her music education, she founded her first serious band at age 19. Within a year, she was playing outside of Yugoslavia and opening shows for American blues icons like Junior Wells. Her band Hush released its debut album, “Hometown,” in 1998. She quickly became a fixture on the Dutch blues scene and soon ventured into neighboring Germany. The following year, she relocated to the Netherlands to study music at the Utrecht Academy and soon began building her reputation as a dynamic performer, with steady touring throughout Europe.4 continued on page 66 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 65
“Once it became clear that the slide guitar was becoming a big part of my playing, I looked into the wizards. I studied Duane Allman and Ry Cooder. I was amazed by Sonny Landreth’s phrasing and his use of different tunings and advanced chords. And then I discovered Roy Rodgers, a roots player with a very specific advanced technique. He plays fast! Learning to play his solos in standard tuning was a challenge.”
ANA POPOVIC IS ONE HELLUVA GUITAR PLAYER.
~BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
By 2003, she was the first continental European artist recognized by The Blues Foundation in the United States, which honored her with a Blues Music Award nomination for Best New Artist Debut. As she progressed with her music, she says, “I remember hearing Ronnie Earl for the first time. And that was something so different for me, to start looking at new sounds and scales. I loved the way he was melting simple jazz influences into blues. It sounded so jazzy, and cool to me. “Later I even reached out and began listening to American jazz fusion guitarists, like John Scofield, Kevin Eubanks and Dean Brown. But I never wanted to lose the blues as a base for my music.” By 2007, Popovic had moved to the United States and signed her first American record deal with the Los Angeles-based Delta Groove Music. “I never wanted to sing about life back in the cotton fields. I never lived in the cotton fields. But I did grow up under Slobodan Milosevic’s nationalist regime, and on my first American record, ‘Still
66 | ENJOY JULY 2016
Making History,’ I wrote a lot of heavy lyrics about what that was like. The feeling was similar, and it made me want to sing and play my blues with freedom, and plenty of edge.” Nearly all of Popovic’s albums have made the Top 5 of the Billboard Blues Charts and are played regularly on radio. “I think every musical project has been different. In each one, I have seemed to find a bit more of who I really am as a musician. Writing is a very important part of my music: I’m very serious about lyrics, and there are very strong messages in every one of my recordings.” As the only female guitar player, she has been part of the 2014 through 2016 all-star Experience Hendrix lineup; a nationwide tour celebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix which has included Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, Zakk Wylde, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and many others. Her latest studio release, “Trilogy,” is a three-volume collection of 23 blues, jazz and funk tunes. Popovic says, “All three CDs are so different, and at the same time, this collection is a reflection of where I’m at with my music along with my influences as a guitar player and singer. I was ready for a big record and the type of work that goes into it. It’s a project I’m very proud of. To be able to do something like this at this stage in my career, to me, is a real personal success.” • Thursday, July 28 • Feather Falls Casino, Oroville www.featherfallscasino.com/entertainment Friday, July 29 • State Theatre, Red Bluff www.statetheatreredbluff.com

E N J OY I N G C H I C O ' S T B A R & F U S I O N C A F É IT’S HARD NOT TO THINK of high-society ladies in enormous hats and lace gloves, sitting demurely, pinky fingers extended as they sip from cups and saucers made of bone china at the mere mention of the word “tea.” For centuries, tea has been more associated with aristocracy than with everyday people. But for one Chico couple, Shelly and Lance Blanshei, it was high time to break the rules of tea drinking. The T Bar & Fusion Café took the tradition and turned it on its ear, making the joy of tea – and its health benefits – accessible to people from all walks of life. It’s been 20 years since the Blansheis pioneered successful Chico-based coffee shop Bidwell Perk. Eleven years ago, they decided to try their hand at tea when Lance, a marketing and advertising specialist, began to see its potential to become “the next big idea.” After three or four years of simultaneously maintaining Bidwell Perk and T Bar & Fusion Café, the tea began to take over. The Blansheis sold Bidwell Perk and turned their focus entirely to bringing out the fun side of tea. In 2014, T Bar & Fusion Café opened a second Chico location, taking a more European approach in its design aesthetic.
The T Bar & Fusion Café began with a full tea menu and food, specializing, at that time, in rice and salad bowls, sushi and spring rolls. As the business grew, the sushi and spring rolls were replaced by wraps. The build-your-own, healthy lunch concept has been more than embraced in the busy Chico market over the years. What started off as a mostly female clientele has expanded to a diverse group that includes everyone from high school and college-age students to senior citizens – and everyone in between, including a steadily increasing number of male patrons. While visitors to T Bar & Fusion Cafe can score a more traditional cup of tea, the unique blended tea options, including drinks with black, green or oolong infusions of the frozen, sparkling, iced and hot varieties, might just inspire even the most classic tea aficionado to take a chance on something new. On a Saturday evening at the dinner hour, at the T Bar & Fusion Café’s downtown Chico location (affectionately called “The Mothership”), a middle-aged woman sits with her book, her legs comfortably extended on the wooden bench, sipping a hot tea from the “Steam Me” offerings.4 continued on page 70
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 69
A college student types away at his laptop, balancing his affection between a wrap and frozen tea. A young woman sits with her parents, the three talking and laughing over a table full of bowls and assorted teas – each one colorful and unique. And two weary travelers revel in the flavor of a shared wasabi ginger shrimp bowl, likely vowing to get their own next time. The vibrant, citrus colored design concept isn’t customary for a tea house, and that’s all the more reason why patrons have fallen in love with the T Bar & Fusion Café—that, and the kind, warm smiles of the employees that have been specially selected to work there. Well-versed with regard to the offerings and genuine in their willingness to find the perfect fit for each customer, the employees stand out just as much as the deliciousness of the menu items. Shelly’s driving mission, having come from a big Italian family, has been to create a special, welcoming environment for her patrons – a tradition that was started when the Blansheis opened Bidwell Perk. “I don’t hire people based on experience or what they know, but on their heart. Do they love others? Do they love to serve others? You can’t teach

RING OF
FIRE
F I N D I N G P U R P O S E A N D E AC H OT H E R W I T H C A L F I R E THE HEART FOR FIREFIGHTING was an early spark in the home lives of both John and Tiffany Hedlund. For young John, each day he watched his father embark on an adventure he longed to join. While John attended school, his dad worked as a firefighter for the city of Salem, Ore. Three hundred miles to the south, Tiffany joined the Mount Shasta Fire Department Explorer program. At 12, she determined to follow into the footsteps of her Uncle George, a captain for the Santa Monica Fire Department. These beginnings would result in a heartfelt flame for not only working for CAL FIRE, but for one another. The Hedlunds’ dedication is to an organization with more than a century of Californian history. CAL FIRE
began 111 years ago, to protect and provide stewardship to more than 31 million acres of privately owned lands in the state. The men and women of the organization respond to 5,600 wildland fires a year and more than 350,000 emergencies. The fire academy at College of the Siskiyous in Weed is an entry point to a career in firefighting. John and Tiffany completed academy training a few years apart. John went on to work six seasons as a seasonal firefighter. He was promoted to engineer, then to his current rank as captain. Tiffany also worked through the system to engineer. “I first met John when I was working at the station in Yreka and he was stationed in Hornbrook. When we’d all 4 continued on page 74 JULY 2016 ENJOY | 73
John and Tiffany would go for weeks without seeing one another. Their dedication to both CAL FIRE and their marriage was fierce. get together for events, John was on my radar,” Tiffany says. “Unfortunately, John never even glanced my way.” But in 2003, the sparks of romance found their way to John and the two began dating. “Once you begin a relationship with someone else in CAL FIRE, you don’t get to work together anymore,” John says. “I was moved from the Hornbrook station.” The two stayed together despite the work separation. Tiffany was sent to other parts of the state to work as a helicopter firefighter and John returned to Hornbrook. Each was
74 | ENJOY JULY 2016
promoted to engineer at the same time, bringing Tiffany’s work station back to Hornbrook. Now married, they could not serve at the same place, and for a second time John was removed from Hornbrook. Many of John and Tiffany’s experiences center around the investment made in people over the years. “I delivered a baby girl at 4am on the side of Highway 97,” Tiffany says. “You see a lot of horrible situations working this job, but it’s the good outcomes which surround your heart and keep you doing the job.” “So many times, you never know what happened in a situation you were involved with,” John says. “I helped with a 2-year-old who had been struck by a rock which came through a car windshield. I was in despair for the child, not seeing how anything good could happen now. Two days later, I received that rare bit of news of what happened. This kid was doing great, playing, and would fully recover.” Firefighting is a grueling job during the fire season. John and Tiffany would go for weeks without seeing one another. Their dedication to both CAL FIRE and their marriage was fierce.
Each period of togetherness was cherished. This became more difficult as their first two children were born, but they made it work. “It’s difficult to find long stretches of time as a family,” Tiffany says. “John has been absent as long as 80 days straight.” Tiffany was promoted to captain at the same time baby number three arrived. At this point, after 13 years with CAL FIRE, Tiffany left to raise their family and be full-time support for John. CAL FIRE and their family both remain at the core of their passions. “Our marriage works because we’ve both had the same career,” Tiffany says. “I understand what John is doing, how important it is, and I know his heart is always set on home.” •

SINCE 1945
THE DENHAM FAMILY KNOWS the automotive industry. More than 70 years in business in the North State has tested and proven their ability to keep going strong with a clear vision and savvy marketing strategies despite years of economic challenges in the country. Ryan Denham joined the team in 2001 and represents the third generation to carry on the family business; he works now with his father, Randy Denham, who started working with his father in 1974 doing everything from auto mechanics to cleaning toilets. Stonewall Jackson Denham (known to all as Stoney) launched the dealership in 1945, passing responsibility to his son Randy when Stoney retired in 1987.4 continued on page 78
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 77
OF THE MANY AUTO DEALERSHIPS THAT BEGAN IN THE 1940S CARRYING A FAMILY NAME, SJ DENHAM IS THE LAST.
Stoney sold DeSotos and Plymouths at his first dealership on Pine Street from 1945-1949 and employed six to eight people. They completed a major new building project and celebrated the grand opening in March 1949 at their current location on North Market Street (Highway 99), which was the main thoroughfare through Redding. Of the many auto dealerships that began in the 1940s carrying a family name, SJ Denham is the last. When Interstate 5 rerouted traffic in the 1970s, the Denhams’ commitment to invest in progressive trends in the industry kept loyal and new customers returning. Unlike real estate, Randy Denham says location doesn’t seem to make a difference for auto dealerships. What keeps people coming, he explains, is their confidence in brands like Chrysler and Dodge and the honest service provided by their business that now employs 68 people. They have matured with societal and industry changes, something that Ryan Denham has helped to facilitate. He earned his degree in
78 | ENJOY JULY 2016
business finance from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, then spent three years with Chrysler Corporation. Ryan says SJ Denham has become a one-stop shop for automotive needs, handling sales to service “seamlessly in one location” and employing the latest in technology innovations, from marketing to diagnostics. SJ Denham added a collision center in 1993, a Hertz Car Rental franchise, and a recent expansion for work on larger vehicles and a tire service center at the Market Street location. Under Ryan’s guidance, the showroom has been renovated to “make it more comfortable for customers” with nostalgic decor reminiscent of the business’ beginnings. In 2004, they expanded to Mt. Shasta with another dealership. Today they sell and service Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles.4 continued on page 80

Since it’s their name on the sign, says Ryan, they employ a very hands-on leadership style. Randy gives Ryan credit for bringing his corporate experience into their business decisions, creating and maintaining good relationships with corporate representatives. Now the two men bounce ideas back and forth, old-school business sense and new ideas forging a future for the family business. Randy and Ryan continue to model a servant-leader work ethic. Ryan says he is not averse to using a broom and dustpan to help clean the showroom or do any other jobs that need attention. Family, fatih and community are high priorities for the Denhams. It is one of the reasons Ryan returned to the North State to join his father in the family business. Both men serve on a variety of community boards and have a long relationship with Redding West Rotary. They agree that they live in a very giving community and give back as part of their business and life philosophy.
Two organizations Randy helped to start prove the Denhams’ dedication to caring for others. In 1987, Randy helped establish the Top of the State Junior Golf Scholarship for North State students who want to pursue higher education with golf as their means to get there. This year, 23 students will receive a total of $25,000 in scholarships. They also support the Luis Miramontes Foundation that contributes to cancer research and provides help to families living with cancer. SJ Denham endures as a Redding landmark, a flourishing family business where the second and third generations now oversee the business established at the end of World War II and where Ryan hopes one day his two daughters might carry on in their great-grandfather’s footsteps. • Sandie Tillery Creating a picture with words has been Sandie’s small claim to fame for a good part of her life. A degree in journalism from San Francisco State University opened early professional writing opportunities. Now, as a long-time North State resident, she delights in discovering and describing wonderful people, places and events from this part of the world.

July Recipe
Trust me – you will never have a bad meal when you visit the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Menus are loaded with their fresh catch of the day, as well as the region’s amazing pasta dishes made from the freshest ingredients. We spent many afternoons beachside, enjoying a meal and drinking wine while chatting with our friends, followed by a late afternoon swim in the clear ocean. I love this place!

For lunch or dinner, I often opted for an octopus or calamari salad as my main entrée. A delectable dish… seafood so fresh it as though it just leapt on to my plate! All served alongside the best ciabatta or foccacia I have ever had and local olive oil for dipping, of course. Heaven!

DIRECTIONS - CALAMARI STEP 1: Prepare squid by cutting the tube into rings, each about ½ inch wide, and tentacles into large bite-sized pieces. There should be about 3½ cups. STEP 2: In a large pot, add the wine, salt, pepper, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, bay leaf and parsley sprigs and water. Place on medium high burner and bring to a boil. Add the squid rings and tentacles. Reduce heat, cover and cook just until the squid becomes opaque, probably not more than 1 minute. Drain into a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking process. Discard garlic cloves, bay leaf, and parsley sprigs. When squid is cool, drain and pat dry.
DIRECTIONS - ASSEMBLE SALAD STEP 1: Combine the cooked squid with the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with vinaigrette and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Let stand at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop, stirring gently a couple of times. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 hours until ready to serve. Stir a few times during the chilling process.

STEM CELLS ... OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate. Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives. Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

I missed a golden opportunity. Q97 hosts a huge swap meet/community garage sale every May. During the first event four years ago, Jane and I bought some vendor space, brought all our “stuff ” down and sold almost everything in only four hours. Bam! We made about $750, and were pretty proud of ourselves for getting rid of clutter AND making some serious cash. Why didn’t I do that again this year? Over the last four years, our clutter level has gradually risen back to endangered status, and it’s time to purge. Garage sale, anyone? After hosting several sales over the years, asking lots of questions and doing extra research, here’s the skinny on having a super-successful garage sale, and a list of items that sell fast and make you money. Preparation is the key, and it doesn’t mean you have to plot, plan, clean and sort for months. First, pick a sale date that corresponds with paydays, and try to avoid holiday weekends or weekends when there are a ton of local events going on. You may even want to let neighbors know, so they can think about having a sale too. The more folks selling in one area, the more buyers will make the trip to your neighborhood. Publicize the garage sale on social media for free, and consider being part of the local paper’s garage sale map. And yes, signs are always a good idea. We discovered that sorting, pricing and laying out the items the night before makes things very easy morning-of-sale. If you have a garage, all you’ll have to do is open the door, quickly move some tables and furniture, and you’re open for business. Trust me, it makes it so much easier to be ready when the early birds are camped out waiting for you to start selling. Don’t forget to go to the bank the day before so you can have a cash box with plenty of bills and coin on hand for change.
Using tables for most goods keeps things organized. It also makes it easy to have, say, a $1 or $5 table where everything is the same price. Speaking of pricing, you don’t have to price every last thing. You can price everything, and buyers appreciate it, but it is tedious. At the very least, make sure furniture and bigger items are marked, and let buyers make offers on the smaller items and trinkets. When setting prices, determine which is more important—Making money or getting de-cluttered. Try to find a happy medium! When it comes to clothes, hanging them on a rack, line or rod makes them easy to peruse and means you won’t have a heap of messy unfolded clothes. Consider selling clothes by the bag...$5 seems to work well for generic items. Here’s a list of items that typically sell very well: Like-new items in their original box, fishing gear, almost any type of tools, sporting and exercise equipment, clean baby clothes and toys, wooden furniture, costume jewelry, bicycles, gardening items and pots, books(no water stains please), vinyl records, clean name-brand clothing, retro toys and games, and home décor items. Also, if it’s hot outside, think about selling cold bottled water or soda. I have a garage full of items, so I need to take my own advice and finish prepping for OUR sale. I’ve got some good stuff, and great prices too. Come on by…

T H E R O S E E X P E R I M E N T U N LO C K S C R E AT I V I T Y NEITHER A HORTICULTURAL INVESTIGATION nor involving actual flowers, The Rose Experiment instead seeks to sew and reap creativity throughout the community. “We spent quite a bit of time testing different names,” says Assistant Director Julie Olson, whose sister, Bobbie Valdez, is creative director of the Redding-based nonprofit organization. “Like a rose, Bobbie is a nurturer. She wants to see things grow. As artists, we like to push boundaries, and art itself is very experimental.” When the two discovered American violinist and composer Lindsey Stirling was to perform in a small café in San Luis Obispo, Olson says, “We realized we have not seen an artist of her stature come to Redding to play in a smaller venue. We wanted that experience here and at first thought about just creating a small-scale art and music lounge.” They soon discovered other local artists who felt as they did about art’s significant impact on community wellbeing, and their new end goal quickly became the construction of a multipurpose arts center in the North State. “We want to create a place equally good for a date night or girls’ night out,” says Olson, “the type of venue that you would see in San Francisco or in Portland.” Olson describes the future Rose Arts Center as “holistic,” a joining place for “all art forms and all styles. You’ll see sculpture and paintings in the gallery but we will have entertainment as well—poetry readings, music and dance.”
Currently a core team of six creatives, known as The Rose Experiment Arts Team, delivers mixed media arts presentations throughout Shasta County. Last year, the team made its public debut at Redding’s 4th of July Freedom Festival Celebration. “Instead of ‘flash mobs,’ we do ‘art mobs’ anywhere,” Olson says. “Anywhere” encompasses an array of venues with collaborating partners on a variety of creative themes. The Rose Experiment’s Thrift Shop Fashion Show, held in May at Redding School of the Arts, featured a Project Runway-esque fundraiser with a powerful ripple effect. “Models and artists teamed up,” says Olson. “The designers created two outfits out of materials they purchased only at thrift stores. The goal was to showcase sustainable clothing and bring attention to the non-profit thrift stores in our community while raising funds for The Rose Experiment.” The especially creative caveat: “Artists were invited to include visual and audio components in their runway show to illustrate the artistic inspiration for their designs and to highlight the particular charity. We wanted it to be very interactive, so we encouraged live musicians or poetry readings.”4 continued on page 94
JULY 2016 ENJOY | 93
This month, The Rose Experiment launches a weekly art class series based on the work of Robert Norman “Bob” Ross, the American painter, art instructor and host of the popular PBS program, “The Joy of Painting.” “The ‘teach and practice’ style is a fun way to learn,” says Olson. “Several people I’ve talked with have mentioned that they want something more interactive. In a group, you have access to the artist facilitating and also the other participants.” The painting series is the latest offering in the organization’s Operation Wellness program, begun when The Rose Experiment partnered with Northern Valley Catholic Social Service to take art projects into some of the NVCSS housing communities for special needs tenants. “The Rose Experiment’s artists provide an opportunity to unlock creativity in our folks who struggle with daily challenges,” says Jeff Dunaj, NVCSS property manager. “We appreciate them.” The Rose Experiment believes art is at the center of a healthy community. “It can break down any barriers,” says Olson. “We want to use art to help heal our community.” • www.theroseexperiment.weebly.com
