SECOND ANNUAL ‘ENJOY MOVIES IN THE PARK’ SEASON SUPPORTS LOCAL CHARITIES REDDING – “Enjoy Movies in the Park,” a free family event that was a summer spectacular last year, opens its second season Friday, June 4, at Caldwell Park in Redding. The weekly series is sponsored by the nonprofit arm of Enjoy Magazine, and it runs through September 24.

Announcements and entertainment begin around 8:30 p.m. in front of the former Carter House Natural Science Museum, and the movie begins at dusk. The family-oriented films, which are rated from G to PG-13, are projected onto a 30-by17-foot inflatable screen. Admission is free, but guests are encouraged to make donations to the Enjoy Movies in the Park-featured charitable cause, which changes each month.

June’s donations will benefit the North State Symphony.

Hundreds of North State residents enjoyed the shows last year.

“Enjoy Magazine is proud to contribute to the array of exciting, family-friendly events happening throughout the North State,” said Enjoy’s James Mazzotta, the creator of the event. “This is a chance to get out of the house and sit under the stars, reconnect with our family and friends, and enjoy entertainment in our beautiful parks.”

The event location and the organization that benefits from the donations will change each month. July’s films will be shown at Anderson River Park, August’s shows will be on the lawn of the Redding Convention Center, and September’s movies will be at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center park.

Food vendors will also donate 20 percent of their proceeds to the evening’s charity, Mazzotta said.

Enjoy Movies in the Park is funded entirely by local and regional sponsors. For these and other details or to become a sponsor, visit www.enjoymoviesinthepark.com.

sundance Sweet, sweet summertime. We’ve loved this wet and wild spring, but we’re looking forward to the final ring of the school bell, long days at the (full!) lake and Thursday nights at MarketFest. We’re especially excited about the second annual Enjoy Movies in the Park series – dust off those lawnchairs and join us as we kick back under the stars, visit with friends and enjoy a movie while helping charitable causes.

June is also the month that we honor the special men in our lives. If your dad (or husband or son) is an adventurous sort of guy, make some new memories this Father’s Day and introduce him to stand-up paddle boarding. The sport originated in Hawaii in the 1930s as a way to ferry tourists into the surf, but people have since discovered that it’s a unique way to see the lake. “It’s like walking on water,” says instructor Larry Froley.

Bonus: It’s a great workout.

Some of the top golfers in Northern California will soon tee up for the 37th annual Redding Pro-Am to benefit the Shasta County Special Olympics. Since 1983, the tournament has contributed nearly $300,000 to the organization.

If you’re looking for a unique Father’s Day gift for a guy who appreciates a good laugh, get your tickets now for the Firesign Theatre. These comedic actor/writers have sold millions of albums, and they’ll appear at the Cascade Theatre in late June. Or, if Dad has a sense of wanderlust, wander on down to Plumas County, where lakes, rivers, waterfalls, trees and mountains create an outdoor playground. Use our guide as a jumping off point and see where the adventure takes you. If you’re game for spending the night, consider a campout – we’ll remind you why food tastes better, air feels crisper and sleep feels so much more restful when you spend the night in the great outdoors.

Here’s to wonderful dads and summertime fun. Enjoy!

summerdelight seeing summer through the eyes of a child

Children play. They like getting dirty and staying up late. They take time to hang upside down, laugh and cry, catch frogs, and they sit on their knees digging holes to China for the sheer joy of throwing dirt. Summer, when school is closed and days are hot and long, children become the quintessence of… children.

On back patios, boys make car engines roar and airplanes take off, popguns are shot at squirrels, and girls make dolls cry and coo.

Children argue over whose turn it is to swing, and seconds later laugh at being caught in the sprinklers.

Children relish in the flavors of summer, eating strawberry ice cream, hot sun-ripened dusty blackberries and watermelon, letting its juice drip from their mouth all over their bare chests.

Sure, children look forward to trips, as well. Some North State families may make the voyage to Disneyland or even board a 747 to Hawaii. Others may visit relatives across the United States. On most blocks, at least one family packs its tent, sleeping bags, and marshmallows and heads off into the Trinity Alps or over to the coast on an annual camping trip.

Trips are fun. But summer is more than two months long, so the day-to-day offerings are what many children delight in. Kids head out their doors to the great mystic world of their yards and neighborhoods playing baseball, jumping in pools, swinging on tree limbs and making mud pies.

On a family walk in our neighborhood, Uncle Tommy lagged behind, picking up and looking underneath rocks. Within minutes he found what he was searching for—a red racer snake. I grew up with Tom. My mind quickly remembered the thin, lanky, curlyheaded boy collecting snakes in our backyard. He handed the snake to my 3 year-old son, Elias, who joyously held it, letting it twist around his fingers, petting it, watching its forked tongue. Since that day in early spring, Elias has been in search of another racer, sometimes holding long earthworms and telling me that it was a snake and not worm.

Seven-year-old Cade Calkins sat in his knee- worn jeans, digging, and digging. He wasn’t planting a bush, he wasn’t building a trench; he simply dug. Until, alas! He threw down his shovel and ran over to grown-ups and yelled, “I found a dinosaur bone.”

“A dinosaur bone,” they said.

“Yes. It’s real!”

After sharing his news, Cade headed back to his hole excited, as a real paleontologist would be at his first significant, life-changing dig.

Young Portia Jones never tires of skipping out to the meadow behind her house to pick wildflowers. She returns clutching lupin and shooting stars (dodecatheon) tightly in her hand. Her mother says that she’s always happier after her visit to the meadow. When star thistle take over the meadow, she sits on her lawn making crowns of gold out of dandelions for herself, her dolls and her dog, Blitzen.

For those of us who feed, care for and love these children, we experience summer’s joy in a new kind of way, watching, reflecting

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer...

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

and assisting. As I was saying goodnight to my son, I told him the favorite part of my day was seeing him lift his bug catcher up to his eye to look closely at his find. There was purpose in his movement, wonder of what he was looking at. Misunderstanding what actually thrilled me, he said, “But I thought you didn’t like worms, Mom.” “I don’t,” I said. “But I know you do.”

“It was a real, real skinny worm. Maybe you like that kind.”

“Probably not,” I confessed. After kissing his salty, dusty forehead, I told him that tomorrow he had to take a bath.

“Oh, Mom,” he said. “I don’t want to.”

Feeling thankful that it was only June, I curled up beside him to tell him the story of the catfish I caught in Shasta Lake when I was eight-years-old. • June 2010 Enjoy 16

Community

demonstration Local chefs demonstrate healthy cooking

Local foods, grown by local farmers, nourishing local families.

The North State’s numerous farmers' markets offer the opportunity to enjoy fresh-as-it-gets foods, harvested by people who live in our community – and on Saturdays, some of the area’s top chefs will help show you how to put those tasty treats to good use.

Chef at the Market is a weekly series of cooking demonstrations at the Saturday Farmers’ Market at Redding City Hall. North State residents can learn how to prepare the assortment of seasonal produce and herbs offered at the market throughout the summer.

“It’s good for the economy, local growers and the environment,” says Melinda Shaffer of Healthy Shasta, an event sponsor. “We’re teaching people how to incorporate local foods into their meals, and to eat seasonally.”

Participating chefs have included Cal DeMercurio from Rivers, Green Go’s, Doni Greenberg from A News Café and more. This year’s lineup will be available at www.HealthyShasta.org.

“This time, we’ll have a complete setup for chefs to just show up, buy their food and do their cooking,” says Diana McConnel of the Shasta Growers Association. Recipes are distributed with a shopping list on the back so folks can just grab what they need from their favorite grower on their way home, Shaffer says.

Greenberg has participated in Chef at the Market twice and described it as “a total blast.”

“The first time, I basically thought up my menu as I drove to the market, and let the ingredients inspire me,” Greenberg says. “I prepared a Naan Pizza, which I toasted in an open pan, topped with goat cheese, basil, olives, olive oil and herbs, all from that morning’s farmers' market.”

The second time, she prepared a tomato, brie and basil salad as a bruschetta topping, all (except the brie) made from ingredients found at the farmers' market.”

The market isn’t just about fruits and veggies – breads, nuts, eggs, olive oil and herbs are among the many naturally grown or produced items that are for sale. Spring days feature crates of strawberries, and as days get longer and hotter, they give way to cherries and peaches.

“I love the variety – tamales, microgreens, flavored almonds, stocking up from the honey guy,” says McConnel, a “locavore” who makes an effort to eat foods grown or harvested within a 100-mile radius of home. “Fresh garlic is so sweet and lovely – it’s one of the first things I get.”

“And the sugar snap peas,” Shaffer adds. “I get a lot of fresh cilantro, and the other day I bought strawberries from two different vendors.”

For those who don’t frequent the market, Chef at the Market is an ideal excuse to get out, check out the foods and get some tips on how to best present them at your dinner table.

“(Farmers' markets are) good for foodies like me, who appreciate a great tomato but can’t grow one to save my life – and it’s also good for the area farmers, professionals who literally toil in the dirt and the heat of the sun to bring us great food,” Greenberg says. “Farmers' markets are healthy for our bodies and our economy, and they’re a great social scene, too. That’s why I like to get there early so I can shop first, talk later. If I talk first, all the best stuff is gone.” •

Wander along a trail that meanders through the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens and you might discover a couple taking wedding vows, artists capturing a blossom on canvas, children marveling at butterflies in the milkweed or a fisherman grilling a mess of freshly caught trout.

The botanical gardens are situated on 10 acres of forested hillside in Dunsmuir City Park that slope down to meet the Upper Sacramento River. “Every season brings a change of color and something new to discover,” says Judy Harvey, who began volunteering with the gardens in 1994, wrote the 501(c)3 application for the gardens in 2000 and joined the board in 2006.

The botanical gardens were established by a small core of volunteers in 1992, led by Lucy Depoli and Gene Fleet under the management of Dunsmuir Parks and Recreation. It has grown from a display garden into a true botanical garden – “a living library and horticultural resource,” Harvey says.

19 Enjoy June 2010

The Children’s Gardens near the park’s playground feature colorful annuals surrounding whimsical statues. McHenry Garden features Jack-in-the-Pulpit, wild rose and other native plants.

Monarch and pipevine swallowtail butterflies lay eggs on plants chosen just for that purpose in the Butterfly/Hummingbird Garden, and Kelly’s Garden showcases a stunning assortment of white blooms in the center of the meadow lawn.

Picnic tables and memorial benches make it a tranquil spot to relax a day away. Take a self-guided tour any time, or arrange for a horticulturalist-led group tour by calling ahead.

Under construction now is a crevice rock garden that will feature alpine plants native to the mountains surrounding Dunsmuir. The garden will be built with native stone, with evergreens and perennials tucked into the crevices created by the rocks. Funded by the McConnell Foundation and the Union Pacific Foundation, it will be the only public crevice rock garden between Sacramento and Portland. continued on page 22

Also, horticulturist Candace Miller is working to identify the genus, species and variety of the gardens’ perennial woody plants.

As they’re identified, an “accession record” is made for each plant, and a metal tag will be affixed to each one to correspond with its record. A database with that information will allow Dunsmuir to share information with researchers, students and other botanical gardens. This project was also made possible by the McConnell Fund.

The gardens evolve with the seasons. In the spring, it’s tough to find a more breathtaking collection of native dogwood. Now is the time for Shasta lilies, and autumn gives way to Japanese maples and an assortment of woody plants that are “very showy in the fall,” Harvey says. “One of Candace’s objectives was that instead of planting 5,000 impatiens in the garden in the spring, we’d always have something in bloom. It’s always free and it’s always beautiful.”

The gardens are governed by a 12-member board and they’re part of the American Public Gardens Association. About 150 people or families have memberships, and the garden is a source of great community pride. The Dunsmuir High senior class recently spent a day reseeding the meadow, and numerous organizations and individuals have donated time, money and materials.

“This is where people who are coming through on their way to British Columbia stop and have a picnic lunch,” Harvey says.

“This is where Dunsmuir families have had weddings and family reunions. We have a couple who have lunch together every Thursday in the park.”

Admission to the gardens is free; they are funded by memberships, donations, grants and the annual “Tribute to the Trees” concert. The 20th anniversary show, slated for Saturday, June 19, is the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra’s “Rhythm Del Rio” concert. Featuring music from Brazil, Argentina and Panama, the show is conducted by Benjamin Simon and showcases soloist Chris Froh on marimba. The event also includes a silent auction, raffle and outdoor dinner.

“When the orchestra is playing in that venue, it’s not like the Hollywood Bowl. It’s just a whole different thing with that music wafting up through the trees,” Harvey says. “It’s something else. To hear those young musicians play, it’s such a special, special time.” • www.dunsmuirbotanicalgardens.org Tribute to the Trees Rhythm del Rio June 19 at the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens Featuring Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra Gates open at 4 pm, supper at 5 pm, concert at 6:30 pm Concert sponsor, $75 (includes reserved seating, supper, commemorative wine glass, complimentary glass of wine) $40 for supper and concert, $20 for concert only For tickets call (530) 235-4740

Since 1983, the volunteer committee in charge of the tournament has contributed nearly $300,000 to Shasta County Special Olympics. “That’s what the tournament’s all about,” says Curtis Byron, head of the Pro-Am Committee. Byron would like to get the word out to prospective sponsors that the tourney is not a yearly “good ol’ boy” gathering, but a significant fundraiser for a worthwhile cause.

“We’re doing this for the kids. That’s why I got on the committee and that’s my thrust as chairman. We want to put on a good tournament, but that’s not why we’re here. It’s not about us, it’s about them.”

Denise Caldwell, area director of Shasta County Special Olympics, calls Byron and the other Pro-Am golfers “our backbone. I can’t say enough about how much the Pro-Am has meant to us. They have been so faithful for so many years.”

The feeling is mutual, Byron says. “We have contributed more than $250,000 to Shasta County Special Olympics and it never seems like it’s enough. I want to give them everything I can.”

What the tournament has given can’t be measured in dollars alone. The Pro-Am contributions, along with gifts from individuals and other organizations, allows Shasta County Special Olympics to put on a pair of Olympic events—a local bowling competition and a two-day basketball tournament that draws players from six counties.

The latter, Caldwell says, “is a pretty big event, which is why the Pro-Am is so important.

They allow us to put on these competitions.” Even with volunteer referees, the basketball tournament costs between $15,000 and $18,000. The payoff comes in the form of increased self-esteem. “Even when they don’t get the gold medal, they feel pretty good about themselves,” Caldwell says.

Shasta County Special Olympics currently serves about 350 children and adults with intellectual disabilities by providing training in various sports and opportunities for competition. Caldwell says the nonprofit organization offers training in basketball, softball, swimming, tennis, soccer, bowling and golf.

For competitions, the athletes are separated into categories based on their ability. “We division everybody so they can compete at their own level and have a chance,” Caldwell says.

One of those opportunities for competition occurs on Thursday of tournament week when the eight members of the golf team are matched up with volunteer pros for a nine-hole round of golf at Riverview. “It’s a highlight of the golf team. They so look forward to it,” Caldwell says.

“We encourage everybody to come out. Foothill (Distributing) and Pepsi provide the beverages and we have a barbecue. The kids and pros have a ball,” Byron says.

The Redding Pro-Am started in 1973 and its charitable recipients included the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the YMCA building fund, Haven Humane and others. In 1983, the Pro-Am committee decided to focus on a single organization.

“They decided it was best if they found just one cause,” Byron says. “Special Olympics came in and put on a good presentation and we said, ‘You’re it.’ For the past last 26 years, that’s who it’s been.”

The three-day tournament begins Saturday, June 12, and wraps up on Monday with the top 20 pros competing for the $7,500 winner’s check. The top 10 Pro-Am teams also will play.

Admission is free.

“It’s a big event. We’ll have 40 to 45 five-man teams and half of them come from out of town. We’ve got some big guns coming, including Tom Johnson of Weaverville, who was a PGA pro. There is some great golf for anyone who likes to watch golf,” Byron says.

One of the tournament highlights is a helicopter ball drop early Saturday evening.

Numbered golf balls are sold like raffle tickets and the lucky owner of a ball that lands in the hole receives $5,000. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics and Junior Golf. • 23 Enjoy June 2010

Meet Wyatt, diagnosed with regressive Autism Spectrum Disorder at 27 months. Wyatt began his life normally and developed as a typical infant and toddler, a spitfire with a hilarious disposition and a normal vocabulary, who enjoyed playing his harmonica and pretend saxophone, riding a tricycle and soccer. Within a week, it was all gone. He would not look at us, he did not play with any toys.

Worst of all, he lost all language, his last word was mama and then that too has disappeared.

It was like a thief came and stole a vibrant boy.

F I R E S I G N T H E AT R E P E R F O R M S AT T H E C A S C A D E It has been more than four decades since a band of four comedic actor/writers sidled up to the microphone at Los Angeles’ Pacifica radio outlet, KPFK, and unleashed a torrent of irreverent raps, audio gags, puns and general mayhem on an unsuspecting listening audience. Since that day in 1966, Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman and Philip Proctor, known collectively as the Firesign Theatre (each having been born under an astrological fire sign), have sold millions of albums, performed hundreds of critically acclaimed shows and have been designated, by no less an authority than the Library of Congress, a “national treasure.” On June 26, a Redding audience will have an opportunity to witness this as the “Beatles of Comedy” wreak their own brand of surrealistic, intelligent, off-thewall hilarity on the historic Cascade Theatre stage.

Born out of those halcyon days of 1960s America, the Firesign Theatre found itself the court jester to a burgeoning counter-culture.

More than class clowns, the comedy troupe became a singular voice to a generation searching to make its way in a chaotic world that was in dire need of change. It was Peter Bergman and his cohorts who organized and publicized the first “Love-in,” actually coining the term. But, it was with its brilliant series of “theater-of-the-mind” recordings for Columbia Records that its legacy was established on a national scale.

With groundbreaking albums like Waiting For The Electrician Or Someone Like Him, How Can You Be in Two Places At Once When You’re Not Anywhere At All, Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers and Everything You Know Is Wrong, the group created an alternative universe filled with people, places and things that became a real part of fans’ lives – a sort of Lake Wobegon on acid, if you will.

These tightly written, brilliantly executed and painstakingly produced recordings set a standard for audio comedy that has gone unequaled in the ensuing years. The intricate wordplay and astoundingly rich multi-layered comedic concepts have stood the test of time and bear up well under repeated listening. Much like the best of the era’s music, the Firesign Theatre has endured. It is not

25 Enjoy June 2010

a stretch to place it shoulder to shoulder with The Beatles, Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan as contemporaries whose work not only defined a generation but continues to inspire.

I recently had the opportunity to ask Philip Proctor about the current state of the Firesign Theatre and what it is like trodding upon the boards with the same partners he took up with back in 1966, and here’s what he had to say: “You know, it is such a joy to still be performing with my dear friends after 43 some odd years - well, actually, they’ve all been odd -and still be able at our age to play together like happy children in the sandbox of our minds. The reward of live performance is the amazing opportunity to interact with one another and with our wonderful, unique and dedicated audiences. We’re like jazz musicians riffing on our own original compositions in a kind of never-ending, cerebral comedy jam.

“Our touring show is special for us because we’re able to present an eclectic mix of classic and newly conceived contemporary pieces in a liberating minimalist setting, allowing us to perform as we did on the radio and in studio. We’re free to surprise ourselves and our audiences every night, so that no show is ever exactly the same; and because we can hold scripts in our hands, we can introduce new ideas whenever we get the urge and thus build a new show based on audience reactions in the tradition of the Marx Brothers, whom we surrealistically embrace as our crazed kinsmen.”

“Also, the reemergence of Mr. Bergman’s Radio Free Oz is inspiring new creativity, and energized by the enthusiastic support of our fans (in person and on line), we are working in concert on a new show based on a merry mélange of past and present releases, so stay tuned!”

I would suggest that you not only stay tuned, but that you turn on and drop in for the performance by this unique American comedic institution. • The Firesign Theater will be performing at the Cascade Theatre on June 26.

How great would it be to share a passion and teach others while sailing to ports around the world? Mary Anne Beaulac has found a way. A North State resident and art instructor for more than 35 years, she has “retired” and found a part-time outlet that allows her to teach watercolor painting while enjoying the luxury of travel. Major cruise lines take her and husband Ed on trips to Mexico, Hawaii, the Panama Canal and the Caribbean. She and Ed soon ship out to the Greek Islands, and they dream of one day cruising on the Baltic Sea. Beaulac teaches one-hour watercolor classes while at sea, but during stopovers in ports of call, the couple takes in the sights along with the rest of their shipmates.

Beaulac’s backyard at home in Redding represents a sense of artful whimsy and thoughtful planting of drought-resistant plants, many of which she has propagated. Colorful ceramic totems stand watch over a waterfall spilling into the pond she and Ed built by hand. “The Big, Fat, Red Lady,” a life-sized stucco and ceramic sculpture, serenely welcomes visitors with her halo glinting in the sunlight. Found objects, castoffs from the trash or yard sales, often find new usefulness within her sculptures. Bowling balls encased in concrete with mosaic embellishment illustrate her recycling artistry.

She loves the Southwest with its dry, stark nature. Her totems and low-maintenance landscape design mimic to some degree the desert places she has visited and studied, and reflect her passion for Native American art. She grew up with a father who researched and eventually wrote books about the southern Indiana Buffalo Trace (the migratory trail for buffalo and early land route for pioneers) near their home.

His passions fueled his daughter’s eventual artistic interest in native cultures. Her Southwestern series includes award-winning pieces, some sold to collectors, others now gracing the walls of her home.

Artistry spills off her canvasses and onto the walls of her home as well. Beaulac’s collages incorporate handmade papers, gold and silver leaf and experimental, non-traditional approaches. She has used some of the same techniques with faux finishes on her walls. She created her own textured leather-look wallpaper in a deep, rich wine color, wrapping it around the lower third of her dining room walls and finishing it with molding to create an elegant wainscot.

Early on, Beaulac put to good use her training and university continued on page 29 27 Enjoy June 2010

degrees in a career as illustrator with Twentieth Century Fox where she incorporated architectural elements into three-dimensional design assignments. Later, she worked for a time as a graphic designer and a book illustrator, and throughout her adult life she has taught elementary, secondary and college art courses.

She describes her artwork this way: “I work in numerous media, but specialize in watercolor. I paint layer upon layer of transparent washes to achieve rich and complex patterns of shapes and vibrant colors that flicker across my paintings.” She works toward “tight rendering” but does not want to let her paintings become photographic. Figures often dominate in her paintings. She likes to paint related images that intertwine to tell a story. One of her series depicts periods in art history in which she utilized her illustrating background with its unique architectural influence.

By far the most profound body of work and a legacy she will leave behind is a collection of illustrated journals, an artist’s-eye view of the world as she sees it during her frequent journeys around the globe. Her favorite journal contains images of Florentine street life, her rendition of famous sculptures, the Mediterranean Sea at sunset, sketched, painted and described in words… a treasure trove of memories, a collection of art and observations from the artist herself.

Still a member of North Valley Art League and Shasta County Arts Council, Beaulac admits that she now paints and sculpts mostly for herself and for her family. She has in the past exhibited at galleries

29 Enjoy June 2010

throughout California and Oregon and has won awards in local, state and national shows. She is clear, however, that her life is all about art.

Creative expression comes naturally and gives her great fulfillment.

And now with the joys of traveling with Ed, visits to daughters Rachelle, Sarah and Leah who are spread across the United States, and enjoying the quiet of her home, Beaulac is content to paint, sculpt and teach whenever she feels like it, quite often now at sea. •

T H E H I S TO R I C C ity of montague Two small boys run down the sidewalk, hands held like six shooters. The main street of Montague, which transports them into the Old West, inspires them. A steam train sometimes runs along the edge of town as cattle look with a lazy gaze over the city as they have for more than a century. Just a short ride off Interstate 5, south of Yreka, this Siskiyou County community remains a stop for travelers since the railroad first arrived in 1887, marking the halfway point between San Francisco and Portland.

Cattle ranchers C.L. Webb and the Prather brothers donated the land for the city. City lots were sold by auction, bringing people there on the same rails that connect the town to Yreka. By 1909, there were eight saloons, vying their wares with the excuse the city had a poor water supply.

The name Montague is in memory of Samuel Montague, an engineer for the Central Pacific Railroad who brought the rails through impossible terrains with his engineering skills. The town became a hub of the cattle industry in the far northern region of California. Here, the area’s livestock were corralled for their trips to market up and down the West Coast.

The business section of the town is 11th Street. At one end is the Opera House. It was built as a restaurant with the unique feature of an upstairs stage and dance hall. The saloons were joined by a hardware store, a newspaper and post office, and in the 1920s one saloon converted to a movie theater. The buildings still stand, making up the nostalgic street. The train depot watches over the track, moved from its original location and now housing a museum.

Joseph Paulazzo, an Italian baker and bricklayer, built a twostory brick building on 11th Street in 1917. His family lived on the second floor, his bakery operated on the first and he made wine in the basement with grapes from Sonoma County. Today, the building 31 Enjoy June 2010

is refurbished as Ms. Lynn’s Tea, an English tearoom and café. Tea, desserts and lunches are elegant, but the service is relaxed and friendly.

One block behind, on the corner of 12th and Webb, is one of the first town buildings, constructed out of Shasta river rock by John Lenharr. It housed the general merchandise store, then became the city hall, the jail, the courthouse, a blacksmith shop, a cabinet shop, and today is a warehouse. The Methodist Church is nearby, looking young for its 109 years. Further back on 13th Street is City Hall, raised in 1915; for 40 years, it served as the elementary school.

People enter the Corner Club Café, a delightful restaurant which began as a cowboy saloon. A long bar still stretches by the front door, with its brass foot rail which once supported worn boots and spurs.

The sound of cowhands is replaced with the conversations of the many locals who dine there.

Montague hosts a small airport, where notables Babe Ruth and Herbert Hoover would fly in for fishing vacations. In the 1920s, the airfield was the noon stop for the San Francisco-to-Portland flight. The pilot would circle overhead, gunning his engine once for each passenger on board to alert the town of the number of guests arriving.

The wind blows decades worth of memories through the streets.

The air carries the sound of steam trains blowing their horns with the bellowing of the thousands of head of cattle who moved through here. As the sun sets, the restaurants and antique stores, which occupy the cowboy village, are restored to a quiet watch over their history.

The two young gunslingers run into their parents’ arms and smile.

One looks up at his dad and says, “We should have brought some horses.” •

Who knew wheat could be so fun?

Need proof ? Visit the Patrick Ranch Museum the weekend of June 12-13 and take in the eighth annual Country Faire and Threshing Bee. There will be tons of fun, says Jan Holman, museum curator and event coordinator.

Organizers have put an extra emphasis on entertaining the younger set in the shaded backyard of the two-story Glenwood farmhouse. Children can “fish” in the 70-yearold fountain using special poles and magnetic fish, make wheat dolls, paint fences, get their faces painted, create boats out of walnut shells, churn butter, ride pedal tractors or simply play in a sandbox.

“The opportunities are endless and they continue to expand,” Holman says of the entertainment options, adding that there will also be live music throughout Saturday and Sunday.

But it’s not just the kids who will have a good time.

The whole family will enjoy a trip to the ranch, which for all intents and purposes will be a visit to the farming lifestyle, circa 1880. Visitors will step out of their cars and into a world where ingenuity was critical, cooperation was essential and hard work was abundant.

Celebrating agriculture’s times gone by is the driving force behind the festival. “The objective of the Patrick Ranch Museum is to acquaint people with the history of agriculture,” Holman says. “This is our outreach opportunity.”

Antique binders, threshing machines, trucks and tractors, working alongside teams of massive draft horses, serve as colorful tools to teach not only how food gets from the farm to the kitchen table, but how California’s great Central Valley became the “bread basket” to the rest of the country.

“We’re teaching the history of the late 1800s,” Holman says. “Some of these people farmed thousands of acres.

Our ranch was 20,000 acres of wheat, barley, pigs and cows. They’d do crop rotations. They’d get it planted, harvested and send it to San Francisco on barges.”

Now reduced to 28 acres and administered by the Far West Heritage Association, the Patrick Ranch Museum is still a working ranch packed with teaching moments.

During the weekend festival, spectators can watch workers cut the wheat in the field and follow along as a thresher separates the grain from the stalk.

33 Enjoy June 2010

Those interested can make a batter out of the freshly ground flour, drop biscuits on a cast iron skillet, bake them in an oven and enjoy them with a drizzle of honey—from the field to the kitchen table in a matter of minutes.

There’s also time to relax near the pond, admire the Sierra Nevada range to the east and learn how the mountains supply the valley with water. There is plenty more to learn during the day. “The bypass in front of the ranch used to be the Northern Electric Railroad, and we tell how that changed things. The road coming from the east was the Marysville stagecoach road to Chico, and behind it is the California and Oregon Railroad, which came through in 1870. That opened the valley up as a wheat basket to the world,” Holman says.

The threshing bee itself is a great example of the 20th Century farming life, Holman says. “Not all could afford these big pieces of machinery, so men and women would work together and travel from farm to farm to harvest each farmer’s wheat. And the women had to feed these crews. The workers would start at 4 am, breakfast was served at 6 and supper at noon.”

In keeping with that hearty lifestyle, festival organizers have ensured there will be plenty to eat. A food court on the farmhouse lawn will feature hot dogs, hamburgers, tri-tip sandwiches, coffee, soft drinks and water.

Adding to the experience will be stock dog exhibits, period craft booths, a country art show and sale, a museum store and tours of the first floor of the historic 1877 Glenwood farmhouse. A tram will weave its way through the wheat threshing venues every half-hour.

Holman says there is ample parking on the Patrick Ranch grounds and a free trolley will provide transportation from the Chico Transit Center at Second and Salem streets. The trolley leaves Chico on the halfhour and returns on the hour.

Admission is $7 for adults. Children 14 and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. For more information, contact the Far West Heritage Association at (530) 892-1525. www.patrickranchmuseum.org

It’s nearly impossible to catch a wave on Whiskeytown Lake. So what would explain the increasing number of people riding surfboards out there?

Actually, they’re participants in the rapidly expanding sport of stand-up paddle boarding. The sport originated in Hawaii in the 1930s as a way to ferry tourists into the surf.

After lying dormant for decades, it’s boomed in popularity over the past several years.

Extreme paddle boarders still ride ocean waves, but the sport’s biggest increase has taken place on more calm waters such as lakes, slow-moving rivers and ocean bays.

“It’s really becoming the new thing,” says Jenny Moore, recreation supervisor for the Redding Aquatic Center, which hosts clinics for 35 Enjoy June 2010

stand-up paddle boarding. “It’s a fun way to see the lake.

When you’re standing up, it’s a whole different view.”

The clinics have been popular for all ages and gender, and those who try the sport often get hooked.

That’s been the experience for Roseville’s Larry Froley, who set up the curriculum and trained stand-up paddle board instructors in Redding. He teaches the sport in the Sacramento area and owns Gray Whale Trading Co. in Roseville, which sells boards and equipment.

“It’s like walking on water,” Froley says. “Rather than being seated in a boat where you can’t see very much, when you’re standing on a board, you can see forever.”

The great view also extends below the surface of the water. Paddle boarders enjoy a better vantage to scan for fish and other aquatic creatures. continued on page 37

The other major appeal to the sport is the killer workout it delivers.

Stand-up paddle boards typically range from 11 to 14 feet long, and they are more stable for cruising than actual surfboards. While standing on the board, a person is constantly using “core” muscles to keep balanced. It’s not hard to stay upright (especially in calm water), but the abdominal and leg muscles are continually worked regardless.

When a boarder starts paddling, the chest and arm muscles are used and the workout can be as strenuous as a person chooses. There are now racing circuits for the sport all across the country on lakes and ocean courses.

“The amount of exercise does more for your body than almost anything else you could do,” says Froley, who has also worked as personal trainer and sports nutritionist. “For those interested in a workout, it’s probably the single best activity I’ve run across. You use just about every muscle in the body. There’s no rest for the core (muscles) when you’re on a stand-up board.”

The Redding Recreation Department is hosting clinics on weekends throughout the summer. For more information, visit www.reddingrecreation.org and click the aquatics tab, or call (530) 225-4095. The department has a fleet of 13 boards that it purchased thanks to a grant from the California Department of Boating and Waterways.Though most people have no problem picking up the sport, the classes are a good first step for learning the proper technique and understanding safety elements.

The more recent swell in the sport might be traced to big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, who started using them as a tool to catch 37 Enjoy June 2010

waves, Froley says. The boards went mainstream after they were introduced at the Outdoor Retailers Summer Market in Salt Lake City a few years back. The new product jazzed both retailers and outdoor enthusiasts. A lot of stand-up paddlers have previous kayaking experience, Froley adds.

New boards (made of various composite materials) typically range from $800-$1,500, while carbon racing boards can climb as high as $3,000. Used boards can be found on the Internet for much less.

Paddles range from $80 (plastic-aluminum materials) to as high as $400 (carbon materials).

In Redding, ESP Outdoor (formerly Penguin Paddlers, 3330 Railroad Ave.; (530) 244-3355) is a distributor for stand-up paddle boards. Information on Froley’s boards can be found at www. graywhalepaddle.com.

Because the boards have been classified as small crafts by the Department of Boating and Waterways, participants are required to wear (or carry) some type of life jacket. Surf leashes, tethered to an ankle, are commonly used in the surf zone but are also a good idea on lakes.

Once you get out on the lake, expect plenty of second and third looks.

“When we paddle in our local lake, we have people stop us all the time and ask, ‘What are you doing?’” Froley says. “They always say, ‘Oh, I’d like to try that.’ The other thing I’ve found is the mass majority of people who do it want to keep doing it.” •

Just ask Barb Grosch...

When Barb, mother, grandmother, educator and community volunteer began experiencing shoulder pain she knew her pain was a common heart attack symptom in women.

Tests revealed Barb had three 90% blockages in her arteries including a main artery. Doctor’s performed bypass surgery on Barb saving her life before she had a heart attack.

Heart Attack Symptoms in Women Discomfort or pain between the shoulder blades Shortness of breath Sweating Nausea or vomiting Indigestion or gas-like pain Unexplained weakness or fatigue

“I am so thankful I knew what to look for. My doctor later told me that if I hadn’t reached out for help I would have most likely suffered a heart attack in three to six months. I feel so much better now.”

4 - H M E M B E R S S H O W AT T H E S H A S TA D I S T R I C T FA I R There’s something for everyone at the Shasta District Fair: Corn dogs, carnival rides, cars zooming and Clay Walker crooning on the big stage. And back by popular demand are Cook’s racing pigs. If you have never seen a young pig run, well, greased lightning comes to mind. The pigs will race every two hours from noon until 6 pm on the lawns of the historic Igo schoolhouse, now located on the fairgrounds.

Go inside the school for an education. Open their third primer, and you’ll be amazed at what eight-year-olds knew back then.

Eight-year-olds know a lot today, too. Ross Packwood can tell you all about his flock of bantam hens. Last year, he won “Best of Show” in the Bantam category for his Old English Creole hen. His 11-yearold brother, Ryan, will compete for the second year in the 4-H swine group with one of the six-month-old pigs that he’s been raising for the last four months. Ross and Ryan belong to the Millville 4-H, and are among 750 young people from kindergarten through 12th grade and 250 adult volunteers who participate in Shasta County 4-H. An entire school year’s work culminates at the fair for 4-H members, who compete with pigs, sheep, steer, poultry or rabbits that they’ve come to know and often love. 4-H kids also demonstrate their skill with horses and show and compete in food and fine arts.

4-H takes “show and tell” to a new level. 4-H kids with animals attend hands-on workshops throughout the year, learning how to present their animals for judging at the fair. Part of this, according to Ryan, is simply “working with the animals every day … playing around with them so that they trust you and get to know you.” He selected his Yorkshire/Hampshire/Duroc-cross pigs Bart and Sammy for their “musculature and confirmation,” characteristics that the judges look for in a top market hog. The “telling” is more difficult.

All 4-H members must document everything in an official project 41 Enjoy June 2010

record book. Charlotte Little, who has led Shasta County 4-H swine projects for 31 years, says recordkeeping “helps them to learn the responsibilities and benefits of animal science.” They keep track of their animal’s weight, and they learn how to handle money. Last year the champion hog at the fair sold for $21 a pound, or $4,000.

Parents are an important part of 4-H - Ryan Packwood worked with his dad Scott to build a feeder for his hogs. But Ryan cleans their pens, feeds them daily, and slathers their fair skin with sunscreen lotion. “I feel the 4-H kids have a better start on the real world – they learn how to handle money, and they learn how to handle heartbreak,” Little says.

City kids without animals also participate in 4-H projects such as fiber arts and photography, and in new technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS).

Alicia Bosenko participated in Shasta County 4-H for nine years.

Nowa senior animal science major at the University of California at Davisshe judges at the annual State 4-H Presentation Day at the university and participates in events like the Little International Stock Show for students didn’t have the opportunity to show livestock as youth. Bosenko says, “4-H offered me a lot of life skills that I wouldn’t have attained through school alone. 4-H offered me development in public speaking… dedication to a goal and how to work hard to achieve such goals… as well as the understanding of livestock production and economics.”

Animals, cars, cakes and more will be at the fair. As District Fair Manager Chris Workman says, “Come here to have fun and to make memories.” • www.shastadistrictfair.com

“Don’t Just Give Up, Do Something!”

And it’s easier than you think…

Could she handle children? How would it affect our lives? We were devastated! Unknown to us, another restaurant patron sitting next to us overhead our conversation. Out of the blue, he suggested that we try a chiropractor. We had nothing to lose… we decided to try it. We had never heard about chiropractic care. I had a great job in electronics, owned a nice home and had been happily

Dear Friend, I could tell you story after story.

In my office, I see people who’ve refused to give up. They didn’t accept the answers they’ve gotten before. They didn’t accept “there’s nothing we can do” or ‘there’s actually nothing wrong with you.”

Many of the people who come to see me complain that they’ve been “everywhere” else, taken “every” test, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms.

Here is the most important thing I have to say.

You’re body is made to heal itself, but can only do it when it’s free of choked off nerves. So, as much as I’d like the credit, I can’t take it. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. I analyze the nerve system and the spine and perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure. The body responds, and often it heals itself once that nerve interference is removed.

Don’t give up. Do Something...Create your miracle!

Special Offer-Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. So, when you call to schedule a new patient exam you’ll receive that entire exam for just $17. That’s with examination, x-rays, detailed report of findings…the hole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But call right away because this offer will expire (by law, this offer excludes beneficiaries of federally funded health programs like Medicare or Medicaid).

Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, I have a story to share with you about a colleague and his wife. Many have red about my wife’s life changing experiences with chiropractic, but Dr. Wong and his beautiful wife, Safari’s story has to be told and shared. Here is their story...

“Twenty-nine years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. My wife, woke up complaining of pain in her fingers. At first we hoped the pain would just go away, then we started seeing doctors, but her fingers and hands got worse and worse. It was like having a very bad headache or toothache, only on all ten fingers, which were looking horrible. They hurt so much she could not sleep, work or even eat. As a husband, I felt helpless. I would have done ANYTHING to relieve her suffering. Over the next two years we went to eight of the best medical specialist that money could buy. Each specialist gave us a different diagnosis and a different drug. The medical bills were piling up.

Nothing was working-and Safari was getting worse.

Her fingers had turned grey and purple. The blood flow to her fingers had stopped. Her fingers were dying, gangrene had finally set in. The last medical doctor decided he would have to cut off all ten of my wife’s fingers. He said there were no other choices.

Not only would they have to amputate all ten fingers, they would have to cut a nerve in her neck! He said a nerve problem in her neck was causing the blood vessels to spasm closed, cutting off the blood flow to her findings. He told us that if he did not operate, the gangrene would spread to her hands and arms.

Needless to say, we were devastated! My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant trying to discuss a life without fingers and hands? How would she eat?

Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee.

married for three years. Going to a chiropractor was the last thing we considered. Safari’s first few visits seemed to make the pain worse, but after two weeks of chiropractic care, the purple/grey color in her fingers turned beet red! After two months of chiropractic care, her hands completely healed-after 2 years of hell from unnecessary drugs and a threatened ten-finger amputation!

MY WIFE HAS ALL TEN FINGERS. NO DRUGS. NO TEN-FINGER AMPUTATION! I quit my job and went straight to chiropractic college, got my degree and received my license as a Doctor of Chiropractic to practice. I’ve been in private practice every since.

One of the biggest thrills of my life is giving people relief from their pain and suffering. What could be better? I am fortunate to be in a profession that can create miracles on a daily basis. It is my dream that one day, the health care system in America will emphasize natural health care without unnecessary drugs and surgery. We will all live longer and healthier lives!” Dr. Harry Wong Amazing...Moving...Priceless!!

PLUMAS COUNTY Editors’ Picks

Natural wonders are the hallmarks of Plumas County, where lakes, rivers, waterfalls, trees and mountains create an outdoor playground. At higher elevations, snow lasts well into springtime (there was plenty in early May this year). Vibrant wildflowers abound now, and they’ll give way to stunning fall colors in months to come. Bird watchers should bring their binoculars, cameras and notebooks, as this is a birder’s paradise. While you’re out exploring, don’t be surprised to hear a cheerful “hello” from the folks who pass you by – per-capita friendliness is off the charts here. It’s close enough for a long day trip, but consider spending the night so you can wander around at a more leisurely pace.

Fast facts: • About 20,000 people live in this 2,613-square-mile county, which is just south of Lassen Volcanic National Park (and about 30 miles northwest of Reno).

• Plumas County pioneer James P. Beckwourth discovered the lowest pass over the Sierra, and the route taken by the trapper, Indian chief and storyteller is a National Historic Trail.

If you traverse his wagon route from Marysville to Reno, you’ll navigate through much of Plumas County.

• Unique railroad engineering is renowned along the Feather River. Even folks who don’t have a thing for trains will likely find themselves wondering what it might be like to ride the rails as they wind throughout this picturesque county.

• The Plumas Mudslingers, Plumas County’s roller derby team, recently hosted their first bout.

• Plumas’ championship golf courses lure duffers from miles around, including Whitehawk Ranch, Plumas Pines and Graeagle Meadows, all in Graeagle, and the public Bailey Creek on the Lake Almanor Peninsula.

• The Chester Air Attack Base is a logistical and coordination facility for the California Department of Forestry’s aerial firefighting efforts.

workin’ on the railroad For the train buff in your life, the Western Pacific Railroad Museum is a must-see. The last spike of the Western Pacific Railroad was driven into a trestle in the tiny Plumas community of Keddie in 1909, becoming the last transcontinental railroad to be built across the Sierra, connecting California to the rest of the nation.

beat the blues arts abound Local art is a source of great pride. Plumas Arts, the local arts agency, brings a diverse program of cultural events to the area, and the Plumas County Art Gallery has galleries in Chester, Lake Almanor, Quincy, Portola and Graeagle, and in restaurants, shops and public buildings around the county. The High Sierra Music Festival, Momboosa Music Festival, Joshua Fest and Solar Cook-Off entertain visitors on outdoor stages in July – it will be a welcome respite from the heat.

If you’re feeling blue, go – quickly – to Anna’s Café in the historic Coach House building in downtown Greenville, where they could write the book on customer service. It’s where locals go to get their daily dose of kindness to accompany their bacon and eggs. By the time you leave, your stomach and your heart will be full. Bonus: If Bon Jovi comes on the radio, waitress Mary might sing along. When you’re done, poke your head into nearby shops, including the Sterling Sage, Village Drug and The Trading Post.

Recreation

goracers speed

S H A S TA K A R T K L U B H A S T H E N O R T H S TAT E R A C I N G Right here in the North State, near the airport and Drag Strip, is Redding’s answer to NASCAR – the Shasta Kart Klub.

The Kart Klub gives drivers – even meek ones – a chance to slash and burn their way forward like Scott Speed. “To call them go karts is actually quite misleading,” says Club Promotions Director Lane Amlin. “They’re really racing vehicles.”

The Go-Karting industry has been attracting more and more sports enthusiasts, and the Kart Club has become a full-fledged, family-oriented recreation center. Kart racing, or karting, is a variant of an open-wheel motor sport with small, open, four-wheeled vehicles. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karts vary widely in speed, with some reaching speeds of 70-100 mph.

Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more expensive ranks of motorsports. According to Amlin, many top racers, including Jeff Gordon, got their start in karting. And at the Shasta Kart Klub, racers can begin learning as young as 5 years old in Kids’ Karts. “The Klub has become very family-friendly,” says Amlin. “It’s a fun, safe, inexpensive form of racing and a way for families to spend time together.”

The nonprofit organization got its start in the 1960s and ‘70s, but had its resurgence in the ‘90s when Ken Murray and Carl Schutte redesigned the track. Now, the SKK is stronger than ever, with about 100 family memberships. Members must have their own kart, but can enjoy discounts on entry fees and races, as well as access to the track every day of the week, any time they want to practice. And because it is nonprofit, SKK relies on memberships to keep it going.

It is a member of the IKF—International Kart Federation—and sanctioned under its rules and insurance. Racers young and old can participate in the racing season, earning prizes and the title of champion. Each racing season has about 10 races, with about one event per month. There’s even a Powder Puff race, where wives or sisters have a chance to compete. “Kids are taught respect for others, but also respect for speed as well,” says Amlin, whose own 14-year-old son races with him. “As long as we’re in the sport, we’ll get to spend time together, and that’s a great thing.” •

s more ’ summer fun

C amping G ets Families Away and Together My feet get warm before the crackling fire, and I take my first sip of hot percolated coffee. The paper plate in my lap holds fluffy pancakes swimming in syrup. I wear my coat on these crisp mornings, and I smile thinking of how it’ll be 100-plus degrees at home today.

After taking a bite, I say, “Now, that’s a pancake.” I have never eaten a better pancake than the ones I’ve had when camping.

“Coffee ready? Hot cocoa? Did Grandma make pancakes?” family members ask as they stumble out of tents with disheveled hair and grimy shoes.

“I slept terribly,” someone says with a laugh, and my back reminds me of the rock beneath my tent. I’ll need to dig that out before we sleep tonight.

In some ways, camping makes little sense.

We basically pack up everything we already have inside our homes: cooking supplies, food, lanterns, beds, clothes – the list is long

49 Enjoy June 2010

and something is inevitably forgotten. We return tired and dirty, fighting over the first shower.

So why is camping a defining family experience? What’s the point of it all?

For one, camping can become tradition, and tradition births memories.

In August, I usually drive west on Highway 36 to find my friends on their annual camping trip in the Trinity Wilderness.

“Annual” is an understatement. The La Com family started camping here in the 1960s when my friend, Michelle, was 3 years old. They camp every year, in the same campground, for two weeks, with the same people. With old family friends who occupy other campsites, the group has mixers, bonfires, swim days and decades of memories between them.

My own childhood memories are rich with camping experiences all over Northern California and across the West. Sometimes

we traveled in our old cab-over camper wherein my sister and I watched America slide beneath our tires from the window of the upper bunk. Other times, we packed in with horses to mountain lakes in areas named Caribou, Lassen, Shasta-Trinity and the Warner Mountain Range. At night, we’d wrap heated rocks in towels to place in our sleeping bags, our effort to stave off the cold mountain nights.

My three kids have grown up with similar memories. Our trips often include extended family and friends. We have a talent show night, campfire games, hikes and earlymorning fishing trips. We like exploring new spots and revisiting old favorites.

Memories and traditions may be found in other ways, but with camping we have an escape; the outside world is far removed for a while. Something primitive stirs within us, awakening our sense of adventure.

Now adventures undoubtedly include continued on page 51

obstacles and mishaps. We’ve had plenty: the horses got loose, the fish weren’t biting but the mosquitoes were ravenous, the homemade ice cream tasted like rock salt, the Jiffy Pop burned, rain kept us huddled inside, a rattlesnake slithered into camp, and my nephew cooked a prize fish meant for the taxidermist. Once my mom ran screaming when a bear crossed the creek she was fishing (and the bear ran the other way), and another time a bat dive-bombed my parents as they slept. The imperfections only add to the adventure, laughter and the memories.

For now, the day is done and the campfire settles down into glowing coals. My husband zips the tent closed, and we stare up through the screen opening to the brilliant night sky, much brighter than at home. The scent of campfire, tent and pine surround us.

I wake too early with my face cold and that rock in my back. I want to stay awake to savor the peace and anticipation of that moment when night turns toward morning. Soon it’ll be hot coffee and Mom’s pancakes, and a day packed with activities. But sleep and the warmth inside our sleeping bag draw me back.

I love this. We’re together. We’re camping.

And it’s perfect. •

TIPS FOR FAMILY & GROUP CAMPING 1. Make and discuss camping safety and emergency plans at the start of the trip.

2. Pre-assign meals to families or individuals.

3. Have children make signs with family last names and post around campsite.

4. Have a theme/activity for at least one evening (we do a talent show and have also had “Decorate Your Tent” and “Crazy Hat” contests).

5. Buy small quirky items from garage sales for prizes or use a special food prize for all participants (chocolate pie, etc).

6. Don’t forget a first aid kit, trash bags and extra propane and batteries for flashlights and lanterns.

7. Keep a camping list to be used year after year.

8. Once home, print and frame camping pictures to give as Christmas gifts.

Scent-sational Story: Melissa Mendonca

enjoy the lavender blooms at dusty way plant farm With almost 20 varieties of lavender grown at Dusty Way Plant Farm, it’s possible to come home with enough plants to keep a yard in the sweet scent of this aromatic flower from March to November.

There are only four weekends to get them, however, so North State plant enthusiasts best calendar in a Friday, Saturday or Sunday in June to visit this quaint little farm on the outskirts of Red Bluff.

Owners Jeanne and Bill Hubbard have been in the lavender business since 2004 and are eager to share their knowledge with guests. Their hospitality includes samples of lemonade, pound cake and cookies, all flavored with culinary lavender grown on the farm (they share some recipes). They also host free classes to make lavender wands, so crafters can enjoy themselves as much as gardeners do.

Visitors may pick their own lavender, or the Hubbards are happy to pick for them.

In September 2004, Jeanne propagated 250 cuttings from mother plants at her Chico home, “just to see if I could,” she says. By March 2005, they were thriving. Building on the success in the pots, Jeanne and Bill gathered their sons Erin and Jon Heaney and Mike Hubbard to plant the farm on the land where Jeanne grew up in rural Red Bluff. “I’ve always loved lavender,” says Jeanne, “and we wanted to develop an income on this land.” By the time the plants were in full bloom, people began stopping by unannounced on their drives through the picturesque country. By the next year, Jeanne and Bill advertised. “Each year has gotten better,” says Jeanne.

Dusty Way Plant Farm is truly a family affair. Erin Heaney grows tomatoes and other vegetables which will be for sale along with the lavender. His 10-year-old daughter, Fiona, is instrumental in helping her grandma make lavender sachets to sell. She is also a quintessential hostess. Her uncle, Mike Hubbard, has bonsai growing amongst the lavender beds. Jeanne’s niece is developing a website for the business

as part of her studies at Chico State University.

Jeanne and Bill live in Chico, where Bill is an attorney, consultant and part-time faculty member in the business program at Butte College. Jeanne retired from the Tehama County Assessor’s Office four years ago. She travels often to Dusty Way, where her 97-yearold mother, Grace Burch, still lives. Jeanne has fond memories of growing up on Dusty Way and working in her family’s dairy across the road. While the dairy has since been sold, it is obviously a sense of birthright that keeps her on the remaining land, conjuring up an income and a legacy for her mother. Grace started a plant business on Dusty Way after selling the dairy and is a source of inspiration to the Hubbards.

“Lavender is very drought-tolerant,” says Bill, “It’s much easier to kill it through over-watering than through under-watering.” By propagating a large variety of lavender plants, the Hubbards hope that increasingly water-conscious gardeners will find something that suits their needs. This year finds them experimenting with varieties that develop white and pink flowers. As they add additional plants to the greenhouse, they focus on drought-tolerant species such as succulents, sage and rosemary.

Their beautifully ribboned lavender wands have caught the attention of brides-to-be wanting unique wedding favors. Last year, Jeanne and friends created 100 for a wedding and this year have a contract for 250. The wands emit a lavender scent for years, as evidenced by one Jeanne found amongst her grandmother’s items not too long ago.

A metal armadillo welded from barn scraps by Erin will greet visitors to Dusty Way Plant Farm. It and many other botanical and culinary finds will delight those who make their way to this multigenerational Tehama County family farm. •

Beauty

Story: Melissa Gulden

F O U N D AT I O N L I G H T E N S U P Everything that used to scare me about makeup could be summed up in one word: foundation. It’s artificial, crude, heavy and altogether unappealing. No wonder people call it base. Needless to say, I never touched the stuff. I was fortunate in high school to get by with a little concealer on my undereye circles and hope for the best. But it’s a new era and foundation has reinvented itself (rather, makeup artists have demanded it be reinvented) and a new kind of makeup has emerged that is base no more. It’s sheer, easy to wear, and can take years off (if that’s what you desire).

First, let’s dispel that urban beauty legend that you should test foundation on the back of your hand. Here’s the truth: Because your hands have been exposed to more UV light and a lot less exfoliation, they are usually darker than your face. It’s best to draw stripes of foundation on the jawline, then examine them in natural light to see which one disappears.

Now that you’ve chosen the right shade, here’s how to apply it so that no one knows it’s there.

Step 1: Pick the right type. There is a formula specific to your skin’s needs. If you’re oily, look for ones labeled “oil free,” “cream to powder” or “mattifying.” For combination skin, try a stick foundation, which masks shine in the T-zone. Tinted moisturizer or liquid foundation is perfect for dry skin; if you need more coverage, try a cream or mousse formula, usually in a tub or small jar, not a bottle. Another makeup to try is mineral foundation. Made of minerals ground to a fine dust, mineral makeup has a high amount of pigment, so it gives medium to full coverage without looking heavy (Try Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation).

Step 2: You’ve already found your perfect shade because you tried it in natural light on your jawline. So ignore the actual color names—does anyone really have “beige” skin? Can’t try before you buy? Many drugstores will let you exchange even after you’ve opened the product.

Step 3: Apply it like a pro! Start with a perfectly clean, freshly moisturized (don’t forget the SPF!) face. If you like primer, experts say it smoothes out the skin, making foundation go on evenly.

Mission Beauty in Discovery Village now sells Smashbox Cosmetics, and the Photo Finish Primer is amazing! It’s a bit pricey ($36), but it creates a gorgeous, smooth canvas for makeup to glide on, and foundation stays on all day. Pour a dime-sized amount of foundation into the palm to warm it up, then dot it onto blemishes and any place that is darker or redder than the rest of the face—usually on the chin, under the eyes, on and around the nose, and at the corners of the mouth.

55 Enjoy June 2010

“…a new kind of makeup has emerged that is base no more…”

Begin in the middle of the face and move outward, smoothing foundation with fingers, a nylon brush or a sponge. Blend in a circular motion and finish with downward strokes (to flatten little hairs). Blend at the hairline and at the jawline (and don’t forget the neck to avoid a telltale line.)

Another tip: Apply concealer after foundation, otherwise it can cake or rub off during blending. Dot it on blemishes or dark circles with a small brush, and blend.

Step 4: Finally, lock it down. Powder is about texture, not color. Go with a truly translucent formula which means it has as little pigment as possible. Dip a large fluffy brush in powder, give it a tap against the side of the container, then apply only to oily areas, like the nose and chin, avoiding the outer corners of the eyes and mouth where powder can settle into fine lines. If powder makes your skin look too dry, spritz your face with water or smooth a pea-sized dab of highlighting cream over the brow bones and apples of the cheeks to make it more reflective. Touch up throughout the day as needed, but use a blot powder (MAC makes a great one) or blotting papers (frugal tip: toilet seat covers work just as well!). Adding more powder will just make skin look “muddy” by the end of the day.

Voila! Get flawless coverage without looking made up. Foundation has come a long way and there are many different types to choose from, so take the plunge and master the art of camouflage. •

Recreation

Story: Sandie Tillery

R E C R E AT E S A F E LY O N N O R T H S TAT E WAT E R WAY S Now that summer has hit the North State, sun worshippers flock to the beaches and enjoy diverse activities on the water. Kayaks, canoes, inflatable rafts, inner tubes, sailboats, fishing boats, houseboats, ski boats and personal watercraft abound as long as the weather is warm and the water is cool. Northern California boasts of its waterways, and here in the top end of the Central Valley, summer is best enjoyed in and around our many streams, rivers and lakes.

“Recreate safely.” It’s the unofficial motto of the Shasta County Sheriff ’s Boating Safety Unit. Sergeant Tom Campbell, who heads the unit, explains that the presence of deputies in patrol boats ensures that boaters, swimmers and anglers can safely enjoy the wonders of the many local waterways. Their purpose is to educate, monitor risky behavior, enforce the law, and rescue.

Sgt. Campbell and his staff of 12 full- and part-time summer duty deputies feel like they have one of the best

“Especially in a crisis, we’re appreciated,” he says. Education and saving lives are their highest priorities. They frequently rescue stranded boaters who experience mechanical trouble and often simply stop to chat and check on safety concerns.

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and public drunkenness tend to cause the most safety concerns, especially during holidays that fall in the busy summer season. Alcohol contributes to 24 percent of all fatal boating accidents in California.

Negligence and inattention to other boaters and the environment also create some of the greatest hazards, according to Campbell and Sandbloom.

BILLY & PATRICK’S TOP 10 PICK

fishin’Hole

Billy: I’m not a huge fisherman, and I’ve had better luck in the ocean than in local lakes and streams. I do have fond memories of hauling in my share of small mouth bass on Lake Shasta.

Patrick: I once caught a 42 pounder....Not true, but I can tell a whopper of a tale with the best of ‘em. I have to defer to Fishin’ Bob Moad, our resident angler, for the best place to wet a line. Bob tells me, “Trinity Lake is a favorite because it’s quiet, beautiful, and has a ton of fish, but not a lot of people.” Sounds perfect for an amateur like me!

Top 10 Places to Wet a Line

Northern California is home to some of the best fishing spots in the United States. Whether you fish from a boat or the shore, with a fishing guide or on your own, or with a hook or a fly, there are countless places in the North State to catch the “big one.” Rivers, creeks and lakes galore run through our backyard, and the ocean is a hop, skip and jump away, so the opportunities are endless.

Here are some of the top spots of those who voted on our online poll.

1.

2.

Shasta Lake – The most frequently caught fish on Shasta Lake are bass and trout, but there are many other different species that inhabit the lake.

Eagle Lake – Well known for its own unique strain of rainbow trout (very hearty, thrive in the high-alkali water).

3. Ewing Reservoir – A well-kept Trinity secret, good for trout in spring and fall, a mile or two out of Hayfork.

4. Hat Creek – Renowned blue-ribbon fly fishing water, also has stretches that are planted with trout.

5. Grace Lake – Cute little lake, good chance for kids to catch bluegill and other panfish.

6. Whiskeytown Lake – Best bet is fishing deep near the dam for kokanee (landlocked silver salmon).

7. Trinity River – Great for salmon in late summer and steelhead in fall/winter.

Join Q97 June 18th for Clay Walker in concert at the Shasta District Fair

8. Feather River – North Fork - probably best stream fishing option in Plumas County, well stocked but also has some wild rainbows.

9. Upper Sacramento River – Another well-known (like Hat Creek, fly fishers know of it throughout the U.S.) first-class trout stream. Also has a fun planted stretch through Dunsmuir.

0. McCloud River – Gorgeous scenery, lots of fish, conditions range from private 1 reserves to Forest Service campgrounds and fly-only waters to planted sections.

Hard to go wrong.

junerecipes SIMPLE SUMMER SHOWER SALADS

Hosting a bridal shower? Consider a kitchen-themed shower where the guests bring gifts suited for her kitchen and ask each attendee to write out their favorite recipes. As for food, consider an array of summer salads. You will get rave reviews on these… just a few of my personal favorites which also provide options for vegetarian or vegan diets.

The first one, White Bean & Olive Salad, is simple and fresh tasting. The Celery Salad is a wonderful combination of crunch from the celery, sweet from the dates, and sharpness from the cheese. And lastly, the Chicken Salad is an alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based chicken salads.

It has a lovely Asian flavor from the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds and peanut butter. All are easily doubled (or even tripled) White Bean & Olive Salad Ingredients: 3 T freshly-squeezed lemon juice 2 T extra-virgin olive oil 1 T Dijon-style mustard Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 (15-oz) cans cannellini beans (white beans), rinsed and drained ½ red onion, thinly sliced ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved Celery Salad Ingredients: 1 ¼ cup walnuts, toasted 1 small shallot, minced 2 T sherry vinegar 2 T walnut oil (store your walnut oil in the fridge) 2 T extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 bunches celery (2 lbs), thinly sliced on the bias ¾ cup dried pitted Medjool dates, quartered lengthwise 3 oz. dry pecorino cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

C hinese C hicken S alad Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place almonds on small sheet pan or cookie sheet; place in oven and toast for about 8 minutes until lightly golden brown. Skillet toast the sesame seeds, over medium heat, for about 4-6 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Place the chicken breasts for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked, juices running clear. Set aside to cool before next step. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and shred the chicken in large bite-sized pieces. Blanch the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain. Cut the peppers in strips to similar size of the asparagus pieces. Combine the cut chicken, asparagus, and peppers in a large bowl. For the dressing, whisk together all of the ingredients and pour over the chicken and vegetables. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and season to taste. Serve cold or allow the salad to come to room temperature before serving.

mendinglives remi vista , inc . , ambassadors of hope

At Remi Vista, Inc, they are in the business of sifting through the shards of brokenness in the lives of children and families overwhelmed by their current circumstances. Often, these individuals have nowhere else to turn. It is a difficult and heartwrenching business, but it is through these difficulties that renewal and healing can take place.

“Our motto is that we are ambassadors of hope,” explains John Tillery, CEO, who has been involved with the company for more than 35 years. “We have the privilege of working with children and families that are really in need of assistance and help.”

It all started on a 252-acre cattle ranch in Whitmore nearly 41 years ago. This rural facility, that housed several children and a few staff members in a group-home oriented setting, was the private, nonprofit corporation’s first permanent headquarters.

Later, in 1984, they moved their headquarters to Redding and purchased several residential healthcare facilities in Redding, Palo Cedro and Anderson. Staff members and volunteers alike had big dreams for this fledgling company. Little did they know that their dreams would be so unquestionably realized.

“We have been growing and changing ever since. We now have six regions that we provide services in and a whole lot of different kinds of programs that we do for kids and for families,” says Tillery.

Since its inception, Remi Vista has served thousands of families throughout the North State. Today, the company has nearly 350 employees, ranging from administrative staff to licensed clinical therapists, and has regional foster care offices in Shasta, Humboldt, Butte, Del Norte, El Dorado and Siskiyou counties.

Remi Vista does a little bit of everything when it comes to serving North State children and families. There are certain services designed specifically for helping disabled adults to effectively function in society, and programs that provide much-needed respite to parents of children with severe autism. According to the staff at Remi Vista, developing programs to meet the very different needs and hardships 77 Enjoy June 2010

of individuals is absolutely critical.

“The idea is to look at the kids individually and see what their needs are, and work toward accomplishing the goals … to help with those needs,” says Tillery.

One of the mainstays of Remi Vista is its six intensive residential treatment programs that vary in design and function. Half of the homes are geared toward boys ages 12-17 who have been identified as needing a highly structured environment. The remaining three homes are for children with developmental disabilities, including one designed uniquely for younger children with autism.

The nonprofit organization also features a foster care services program, which was founded in 1984. The facility is licensed to certify foster parents, says Tillery. Each of the six foster care regional offices has its own regional director and social worker. In some regions, such as Del Norte County, Remi Vista is the provider of all children’s service programs.

Remi Vista has also begun offering mental health services, according to Tillery. This includes individual and group therapy programs as well as school-based therapeutic services. At the heart of these services is the idea that foster children need to be met on their own terms with programs tailored specifically to their needs. Many of these services are available at all six of Remi Vista’s regional offices.

The Transitional Housing Placement Program is another major area of focus for Remi Vista. This program is geared toward foster children ages 16 to 18 who are placed in a home or apartment without direct adult supervision. This helps prepare them for the self-sufficiency of adulthood. During the program, these older foster children have access to counseling and life skills courses, such as money management and home organization classes.

Bringing hope to the wounded families and children of the North State can seem like a daunting task, but Remi Vista works to address these ever-growing needs with inspiring direction and enthusiasm. • www.remivista.com
