musicintheair What a joy to be down here in the core of our city. Just as we’re enjoying a fresh view and new neighbors, we’re looking forward to sharing some new places and faces with you this month.

Looking for an action-packed day trip? We had a blast in Butte County, from waterfalls off the beaten path to Chico’s hip downtown, where eclectic restaurants, funky shops and original art abound.

Closer to home, we hope you’ll join us at the Second Annual Sundial Film Festival, the Redding Rotary Club’s celebration of local film and photography. After earning rave reviews last year, the festival is back to showcase the work of some of the North State’s most creative minds.

Yvonne Mazzotta publisher Michelle Adams publisher Ronda Ball managing editor Matt Briner art director Amy Holtzen graphic designer Kerri Regan copy editor James Mazzotta advertising sales representative/ photography/new business developer Britanie Stratton agency account manager Michael O’Brien advertising sales representative

May your blessings outnumber The shamrocks that grow, And may trouble avoid you Wherever you go.

- Irish blessing Speaking of creative minds, we’d like you to meet Dennis Holmes, an athletically inclined dentist with a fondness for Redding’s history, who put a twist on the sport of adventure racing. In “urban adventure racing,” participants run, bike and skate their way to checkpoints scattered throughout Redding. “I wanted to combine learning about Redding’s history, getting some exercise and doing some orienting,” Holmes says.

Then discover the power of a determined and visionary group of women who have created The Women’s Fund, a grant-making organization that is designed to mobilize the power of women through philanthropy. They’ve already made a splash in the community with thought-provoking forums that have drawn standing-room-only crowds.

Another guy that draws appreciative crowds is Bruce Calin, who has become the go-to guy for musical gigs that demand a pro on bass. The lifelong musician was once a member of the house band for Garrison Keillor’s nationally syndicated radio program “A Prairie Home Companion.” “He’s just the all-around consummate professional, no matter if he’s playing symphonic music, jazz or just jamming on some blues or bluegrass,” said jazz guitarist Charles Valona, who regularly performs with Calin.

But people aren’t the only fascinating residents of the North State. Meet Viza, a dog who has saved many ailing canines’ lives by donating blood. And if you’re looking for a feathered friend to call your own, perhaps a chicken would be the perfect pet – we’ll tell you about some of the ups and downs.

Wishing you the luck o’ the Irish. Enjoy!

R edding Community B aseball F ield project Ball players? Check. Fans? Check. Land? Check.

Now the Redding Community Baseball Field project just needs folks to step up to the plate and write a check.

An alliance of local businesspeople, baseball enthusiasts, Simpson University and the nonprofit organization Add Some Color is working to build a regulation baseball field and stadium at Simpson University.

The 900-seat stadium would be Simpson’s home field, and would also host American Legion games, local and regional high school baseball playoffs, camps for aspiring young ball players and much more, said committee member and local businessman Boyce Muse.

It would also be a boon for the Redding Colt .45s, a Minor Leaguestyle community-based program.

When the field is done, Simpson and Redding Recreation will provide low-income, at-risk youth ages 6-16 with an opportunity to participate in organized, week-long baseball camps. Simpson ballplayers would be the youth’s mentors, teaching principles of character and leadership along with America’s pastime, organizers say.

“We think we can bring 400 or 500 youngsters into baseball camps who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to pay for them,” Muse says. “And as this program grows, our local kids who are really good might want to stay home and play for hometown crowds instead of leaving town.”

The donated stadium, valued at more than $2 million, was formerly used in Vacaville. It was dismantled, moved to Redding and will be rebuilt at Simpson, which is less expensive and faster than building a new field. Fundraising is now under way for the cost of reconstructing the stadium.

The tobacco- and alcohol-free facility would bring dollars into the 17 Enjoy March 2010

North State’s economy through tournaments, baseball clinics, training camps and new talent drawn to the area, organizers contend.

“Summer collegiate ball can bring in 800 to 1,000 people a night.

If we can do that here, we can make money for our nonprofit organization, and it will in turn fund youth organizations around the county,” Muse says.

Among the effort’s many supporters are former Major League players Mark Parent, Greg Cadaret, John Strohmayer and Rick Bosetti.

Shasta County is home to several small- and mid-sized fields, and high schools provide some access to their fields. Big League Dreams’ four mid-sized fields and semi-full-sized field are available for a fee.

Tiger Field is the only full-sized baseball field available without a charge, organizers said.

So far, they’ve raised about $850,000 in cash and donations. Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association’s charitable organization, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, donated $100,000 to help with the cost of site work, grading, tree removal and site preparation. This grant was quite a coup – the Baseball Tomorrow Fund receives about 500 applications each year from groups looking to promote the growth of youth baseball and softball throughout the world.

But to make the project happen, they’re seeking another $1.3 million from the community. Two sizeable fund-raising events are planned in months to come, including one in April at Big League Dreams (check next month’s Enjoy for details). If there’s enough money in the bank, they plan to break ground in May 2011.

“It will be good, clean, family entertainment,” Muse says. “There is no downside to this.” •

redcarpetaffair Second Annual sundial film festival

You’ve purchased your ticket, picked out the best plush red seat and have already started nibbling popcorn when the theatre lights dim and the projector behind you starts up. There’s something different about this film, though: instead of a Hollywood soundstage, it’s set in your neighborhood, and instead of preternaturally attractive super-celebrities, it stars your dentist.

Welcome to the Second Annual Sundial Film Festival, the Redding Rotary Club’s celebration of local film and photography.

After a successful debut in 2009, the festival is back to foster the cultural enthusiasm of Northern California. This year’s festival runs March 10-13 and will include internationally made films and films for children in addition to saluting locally made films. (Nonlocal entries are provided by festival management services.) The photography competition is also back; winning entries will be framed and hung in the Cascade Theatre.

The aim, according to Event Chair Peggy O’Lea, and Mark Lascelles, who oversees the film selection, is to create a communitywide event that provides a cultural and educational experience for youth. The festival is made for and by the community.

As Lascelles explains, “It’s fostering film and photography in the hope that someone will let you take it and make a career out of it, which for a lot of (youth) hadn’t been an occurrence before. (It creates) an awareness that film is far more than an art form; it’s used in law, medicine, business, so many formats now in terms of video and video production, that it’s become a career.”

According to O’Lea, “The goal is to have a Northern California celebration of digital expression, both professional and amateur, but with a youth component so they can see there are opportunities they never would’ve considered exploring otherwise.”

It takes about 100 volunteers to execute the festival and all proceeds go to the Redding Rotary Charitable Foundation, which supports a variety of local cultural and educational experiences.

If you attended last year’s festival, you may remember “Pigeon Pilfer,” a delightful stop-motion animated short featuring some very greedy birds. You might also have cheered for the awkward romantic in “Profiles Are Lovely” and, unless you have a heart of stone, were moved by the heroism of an undaunted shopping cart in Jesse Rosten’s Best of Festival winner, “Cart.”

The coordinators received glowing reviews of last year’s festival, and were “blown away” by the quality of work that was produced.

“We also got positive responses from the filmmakers in terms of completing projects that they might not have otherwise completed,” says O’Lea. “It’s different for (filmmakers) to complete a project, ship it off and never see how it’s received, versus sitting with an audience as they view it. It provides a dose of reality that they wouldn’t get otherwise, and some accolades that were well-deserved.”

Attendees at this year’s festival will follow Carter as he attempts to woo Juanita in “Slice Of Pie,” only to be thwarted by a dead dog he just can’t seem to shake. The Canadian film, “Skylight,” uses daffy, stop-motion animated penguins to explain a bizarre truth about the hole in the ozone layer, and the documentary, “Signatures,” offers stunning footage of nature and some extreme ways to enjoy its bounty.

The variety of genres and subject matters makes the Sundial Film Festival effective family entertainment. Along with the added international and children’s films, the festival is offering a school competition and features several films created as school projects. The school competition will include a workshop made up of filmmakers and guest speakers. There are also a number of outdoor extreme films to please more adrenaline-inclined audiences.

Sacramento State University will judge this year’s photography entries and the Los Angeles Film Studies Center will judge the local films.

The festival begins with a formal gala on March 10 at the Cascade Theatre, and films will be shown at the Cascade on March 11-13. The children’s festival will be held March 13 at Turtle Bay Exploration Park with corresponding family activities. Saturday evening’s awards show will be a red carpet event and the ticket price includes two beverages and popcorn.

A festival schedule, list of supporting sponsors, and ticket information is available at www.sundialfilmfestival.org.

If you’ve attended a high-end North State jazz concert over the past several years, you may have noticed the same guy continually behind a well-worn standup bass. And those paying really close attention may have also noticed this fellow performing with the North State and Shasta symphonies, and in orchestra pits for a variety of musicals.

Since moving to the eastern Shasta County community of Oak Run in 2002, Bruce Calin has become the go-to guy for all manner of musical gigs demanding a pro on bass.

The genre of music doesn’t really matter – the Minnesota native has covered it all. A former member of the house band for Garrison Keillor’s nationally syndicated radio program “A Prairie Home Companion,” Calin, 62, has made a career with his bass since age 16.

“He’s just the all-around consummate professional, no matter if he’s playing symphonic music, jazz or just jamming on some blues or bluegrass,” said jazz guitarist  21 Enjoy March 2010

Charles Valona, who regularly performs with Calin. “I’ve been very fortunate to have played with him as much as I have. It’s been an absolute honor. Plus, he’s made me work my tail off. You play with someone of his caliber and you want to make sure you’re prepared.”

Last year, when the 101-year-old renowned Hawaiian jazz ukulele player Bill Tapia toured in the region, he learned of Calin and nabbed him to perform in shows in Redding, Ashland, Ore., and Eureka.

“I like the variety,” Calin says. “I like playing with different people and in different styles of music. That’s what’s most interesting to me.”

It would be hard to calculate (or comprehend) how many different musicians Calin has performed with, and venues he’s performed in, during his career. He’s spent a good portion of his life performing in supper clubs, theaters and dozens of other venues around the Minneapolis area. In the mid- to late-1960s, he played five to six nights a week all around the city.

“At that time, it was possible to make a living playing in clubs and some people worked their whole careers in them,” he says. “I was working as many nights as I could. I remember my pay for five nights a week was $108.50, which was decent money back then.”

Calin was born in the small mining town of Hibbing, Minn., in 1947 and lived there until age 11.

He befriended a fellow named Dave Zimmerman and loosely knew his older brother, Robert. Most people know Robert by his more common name – Bob Dylan.

It was in high school that Calin picked up his now 100-year-old German Diechsel upright bass that he continues to perform with. It belonged to a friend’s dad, who gave it to him because it had large cracks in the body. It cost Calin $200 (a huge sum in 1964) to repair the bass, but the instrument’s warm tone made it a great lifetime investment.

In subsequent years, Calin has replaced the fingerboard and the bridge (rear support piece for the strings) a couple of times.

Calin studied language at Macalester College in St. Paul, and in 1970, was drafted into the Army during the end of the Vietnam War. He served domestically for about a year, and after being discharged, realized the only language he wanted to focus on was music.

That same year he moved to Omaha, Neb., and began performing with the Bob Jenkins Orchestra, which toured the country and played

large state and county fairs. The band backed a variety of well-known performers including stars like Glen Campbell, Bob Hope, Engelbert Humperdink, Jim Nabors and many others.

“For awhile there I was doing a lot of traveling,” Calin says. “Some years I was gone a good third to half the year.”

After about five years on the road, Calin began working at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater (suburb of Minneapolis), performing in the pit orchestra for Broadway musicals. He did eight shows a week for about five years until 1980.

After that, he went full time as a freelance musician, which he continues today. He met his wife, Chris Paaske, while working at a resort in Park Rapids in northern Minnesota. Calin has two stepdaughters: Heidi Seiler and Carly Thomas.

In 1987, he picked up the gig with Garrison Keillor and “A Prairie Home Companion.” Each Saturday, he shared the stage of the national radio show with intriguing writers, poets and musicians. Off the top of his head, he remembers people like Taj Majal, the Everly Brothers, Albert Lee and Roger Miller as interesting artists to collaborate with. “(The show) was very fast,” Calin remembers. “Everything was done in a tight time period. There were some really interesting people on there.

Some who I’d never heard of before and haven’t heard from since. To see the thing come together on the fly was amazing.”

About 10 years ago, Calin returned to St. Paul for a club gig and Keillor showed up in the audience.

After the show, the two caught up and chatted warmly about the old days.

Being called for all kinds of shows in the North State has been a pleasant way for Calin to spend his semi-retirement. He also teaches private bass lessons at Bernie’s Guitar in Redding, a shop that welcomed him to town and helped him link up with other players.

“There are some really excellent players here and some very good people, so that’s been fun,” Calin says. “One thing about having been a full-time professional player is I feel like I can give back some stuff.

It’s been fun to play and share a little bit of what I know. I didn’t know what to expect coming out here. But it’s been a really positive experience.” •

Sometimes you love them, and sometimes you hate them. They can be the source of your greatest happiness or deepest sorrow.

The most powerful life lessons are often learned in their presence.

However you want to describe it, your family has a powerful effect on the person you are today.

No one believes this more than the staff and volunteers at the Shasta Family YMCA. Their business is investing in Redding families.

It is the very credo written on the outside wall of the large gray and blue building, and more than two-thirds of the gym’s members are families. Located near the corner of Eureka Way and Court Street in downtown Redding, the Shasta Family YMCA goes far beyond simply helping members reach their fitness and exercise goals.

“We are a community resource committed to strengthening and increasing the health and happiness of all people, especially children, youth and families,” says CEO Alan Boren.

In 1984, the organization’s board of directors gave the YMCA a proper home by purchasing and renovating the old Diamond National Lumberyard building and its surrounding four acres.

Since then, the Shasta Family YMCA has undergone numerous renovations. Today, the 42,000-square-foot Shasta Family YMCA complex, with 140 paid employees and more than 500 volunteers, features state-of-the-art training equipment in a climate-controlled environment. Gym amenities include an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, men’s and women’s locker rooms, basketball courts, café, computer lab, Kid Zone, child watch areas and free weight and cardio rooms.

The Shasta Family YMCA also offers a myriad of aerobic activities for visitors of all ages, including group yoga and Pilates, water fitness, karate, gymnastics, cycling and kickboxing classes. Fitness is tailored to the needs of the individual regardless of that person’s age, skill or fitness level.

25 Enjoy March 2010

“We seek to create an open, honest and respectful environment that is safe, both physically and emotionally, for people of all shapes and sizes to feel comfortable with each other,” Boren says.

Besides maintaining a top-notch fitness and wellness facility, the Shasta Family YMCA is also deeply committed to serving its surrounding community with societal outreach activities. The PlusONE Mentors Program provided more than 100 one-on-one mentoring matches for youth ages 4-19, and the popular Raising a Reader program helped more than 3,000 North State children ages 0-5 develop an early love for reading.

“Literacy is a big deal here. Having fun ways for kids to learn without them knowing that they are actually learning is very important,” says Jeff Herndon, associate executive director at the Shasta Family YMCA. The YMCA also has key partnerships with other local agencies, including the Good News Rescue Mission, Sober Graduation, Shasta Women’s Refuge, Special Olympics and the American Red Cross.

One of the Y’s key principles is to help complement other nonprofit and community-building agencies in the Redding area.

Driven by the passion of employees and volunteers, the Shasta Family YMCA is not afraid to tackle new challenges and address the ever-changing needs of people in the Redding community.

“The YMCA is a resource. It is guided by its volunteers. It can strengthen the cloth of the fabric of any community,” says Boren.

As a result of overwhelming community support, the Shasta Family YMCA is beginning to formulate plans to build another complex on the east side of Redding • 1155 North Court Street, Redding (530) 246-9622 • www.sfymca.org

to the rescue

D O G S A N D C AT S D O N AT E B LO O D TO S AV E L I V E S Befitting her name, Emmy, “the Divine Miss Em,” is a bit of a diva.

“She’s fat and sassy and bosses everybody around,” says the 5-year-old dachshund’s owner, Carole Gugel of Anderson.

There was a period last spring, however, when the little wiener dog was anything but sassy. Suffering from immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, a disease that attacks red blood cells, Emmy was at death’s door.

Fortunately, she was also at the Anderson Veterinary Clinic and under the care of Dr. Marilee King and King’s chocolate lab, Viza, a canine blood donor. As part of Emmy’s treatment, King arranged a blood transfusion. “A transfusion can be a life-saving event. We usually do it with dogs that had a gastric bleed, or parvo puppies. If a sick dog is bleeding internally, we give them whole blood and it gives them a boost.”

An ailing dog benefits from the healthy blood’s clotting and oxygen-carrying abilities. “The blood is turned over in 24 to 48 hours. It buys us time to get the sick dog better,” King says.

In Emmy’s case, anemia was the culprit and it came on quickly last spring, according to Gugel. “All of a sudden she didn’t seem to be herself and the symptoms got worse rapidly. We made an appointment to see Dr. King, but within 24 hours, her symptoms were bad enough to take her in that day.”

Emmy’s red blood cell count was dangerously low, and time was of the essence. “The treatment included two transfusions and a medication. Basically, she went through chemotherapy. After the first transfusion she didn’t respond; then they gave her another one and she just seemed to turn the corner,” Gugel says.

The experience not only saved little Emmy’s life, it made Gugel and her husband, Barney, big fans of King and the Anderson Veterinary Clinic. “They are the most remarkable people in the 27 Enjoy March 2010

world. Emmy required 24-7 care. Dr. King took her home and even slept with her in her chair. They take really good care of the animals.

They give 140 percent,” Gugel says.

Donating blood to help her fellow dog is old hat for Viza, who has been giving the gift of life since she arrived at the clinic in October 2008. “She had been abandoned and was running loose. A client found her, fell in love with her but couldn’t keep her. She knew I had a rescue dog, Cache, who was a donor for four years before I retired him,” King says.

King says it’s fairly typical for clinic staffers to use their own dogs as donors, since they are familiar with their health histories and vaccination records. In her veterinary school, King says two or three retired racing greyhounds would be adopted each year to serve as blood donors. At the end of four years, when the dogs would be retired as donors, they were ready to head home with the graduating seniors.

Dog donors weigh 60 pounds or more and are between 18 months and six years old. Dogs can donate 450 milliliters every six weeks; cats can donate 40 milliliters. “We take it from the jugular on dogs,” King says. “Our dogs sit still, very quiet and don’t thrash around.

They get dog snacks afterwards. They do quite well; cats, not so much.”

Plato, a rescue cat who now calls the Anderson clinic home, is a feline blood donor, and a Chesapeake Bay retriever belonging to one of the office staffers also donates.

Gugel doesn’t know if it was a transfusion from Viza or the Chesapeake that turned things around for Emmy – she’s just happy to have her four-legged friend back home and back to her rightful role as a doggie diva. • www.andersonvet.com

BUTTE COUNTY Editors’ Picks

You’re driving through miles of orchards, the lifeblood of Butte County’s economy, and before you know it you’re in the midst of Chico’s hip downtown, where eclectic restaurants, funky shops and original art abound. Whether by car, bike or foot, there’s no wrong way to explore Butte County.

Fast facts: • Butte County, “The Land of Natural Wealth and Beauty,” is home to about 215,000 people. The 1,677-squaremile county includes 38 square miles of water. Its cities are Chico, Paradise, Oroville, Gridley and Biggs, and it’s home to numerous unincorporated towns.

• Butte’s original county seat was Hamilton, which is now an overgrown cemetery that’s considered a ghost town.

It’s on the west side of the Feather River, about 15 miles downstream from Oroville.

• Chico was ranked #10 in the book “Top 100 Best Small Art Towns in America,” and in 1997 earned the title of “best cycling community in the United States” as chosen

by Bicycling magazine.

Bidwell Mansion This three-story, 26-room mansion was headquarters for John Bidwell, one of the first pioneers to cross the Sierra Nevada to California. He and his wife, Annie, entertained President Rutherford Hayes, Civil War Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman and naturalist John Muir at Bidwell Mansion, which is now part of the California State Parks system.

Bidwell Park Bicyclists zip along trails, an exercise enthusiast does sit-ups on the grass, a college student flips through a textbook, a couple enjoy a picnic lunch, teenagers play a board game – there’s something for everyone in Bidwell Park. A dam in the creek creates a swimming hole that’s refreshing in the summer and – ahem – invigorating on New Year’s Day, when brave souls swim from one side to the other. The 3,618-acre municipal park hugs Big Chico Creek Canyon for about five miles into the foothills. It also has a golf course, and the annual late-summer Shakespeare in the Park productions in Cedar Grove always draw an appreciative crowd.

Chico State University The second-oldest campus in the California State University system, Chico State was established in 1887 on a cherry orchard donated by General John Bidwell. It now has about 17,000 students. Its Laxson Auditorium draws world-renowned entertainers – March’s calendar includes the Vienna Boys Choir, author Steve Lopez and comedian Paula Poundstone.

get wild The Barry Kirshner Wildlife Foundation, which welcomes visitors by appointment only, is a wildlife sanctuary, educational park and research center. The Durham facility is home to exotic animals, many of them endangered species, and is run by volunteers.

new heights The nation’s tallest dam, Oroville Dam is 770 feet high, and the power-generation units underneath it generate nearly 3 billion kilowatt-hours of power annually. Feather Falls near Oroville is the sixthlargest waterfall in the nation. It cascades down 410 feet along the Fall River, and it’s said to be most impressive in late spring, when the snow is melting.

The moderately steep trail is about seven miles, round trip and very scenic (pictured right).

dowtown chico Chico’s downtown is an eclectic, charming place to take a stroll. Sip a coffee, read a book or get your feet wet at the Chico City Plaza.

Then check out the world’s largest yo-yo at the National Yo-Yo Museum inside Bird in Hand (320 Broadway), or get a taste of yesteryear with a Wonka bar, Clove gum, rock candy or Fizzies drink tablets at Powell’s Sweet Shoppe (121 3rd St., Chico). You’ll find diverse menu options at uber-local restaurants throughout downtown (breakfast at Café Coda is divine – try the veggie wrap or the cranberry orange french toast). Nightlife, naturally, is the hallmark of a university town, and libations and dinner options abound, as do opportunities to hear live music. Madison Bear Garden is a Chico icon for food, beverages and entertainment.

The Whitmore Inn 761 Main St., Weaverville (530) 623-2509 www.whitmoreinn.com

heirloomhouse W E averville ’ s historic whitmore inn With vision, passion and power tools, Noelle Roget has transformed an old Victorian home into a quaint sanctuary that has enchanted guests from around the world.

The 115-year-old Whitmore Inn is in Weaverville’s Historic District on Main Street. Though Innkeeper Roget spent much of her life in the San Francisco Bay Area, she fell in love with the picturesque town more than 30 years ago when relatives moved there.

“It’s one of those places where you drive in and feel a warm place in your heart,” Roget says.

When Roget decided to make Weaverville her home, she bought the Garden Café, which she ran for 11 years. Yet once that Victorian caught her eye, it captured her heart. “I’d been looking at the house every day for the last 15 years. It was so neglected and sad, and I thought, ‘It needs somebody,’” Roget says.

Roget bought the home in 2004 and began a three-year restoration effort. She opened it to the public three summers ago. Now, her partner and fellow Innkeeper Thomas Fox is remodeling the carriage house, which will have two large guest rooms. They also plan to create a spa area at the back of the property.

Many furnishings in the Inn’s four guest rooms are Roget’s own heirlooms. A white headboard custom made in Italy for her grandmother, Rose, has a place of honor in “The Rose Room.” Many photos throughout the house are of Roget’s ancestors, and they date back to the time the house was built. “The whole process of restoring this house was a neat experience for me to get to know my ancestry,” she says.

A healthy percentage of guests hail from the Bay Area and Southern California, though the Inn has hosted visitors from all over the world, Roget says. The Inn also attracts North State folks who come up for events like the monthly First Saturday Art Walk. “They can have wine and hors d’oeuvres, enjoy some dinner, then come back to their room,” Roget says. Watching the stars from the Inn’s hot tub is a perfect way to cap an evening, she says. Roget hopes to make her Inn a retreat destination. A group of attorneys from Redding and 33 Enjoy March 2010

Eureka recently met at the Inn as a halfway point.

The charming town is too small to have a stoplight, but it has no shortage of attractions. Roget relishes the opportunity to play tour guide, and her ideas for things to do in Trinity County are as diverse as her guests. Museums, restaurants and art galleries are plentiful. She has set up fishing expeditions, whitewater rafting trips on the Trinity River and boat trips on Trinity Lake. Hiking is also high on her list of must-dos. “We have 256 glacier-fed lakes in the Alps that you can hike to, and they’re right in our backyard,” she says. And if you’d rather simply sip coffee on the veranda while you soak in the beauty of the surrounding gardens – by all means, feel free.

The Inn is popular for parties and wedding receptions (it can accommodate about 100 people), says Roget, who has worked most of her life in the hospitality industry. “Every time we have a party here, I almost cry. People are here having a good time and enjoying it.”

Some of the townspeople have shined light into the home’s history for Roget. “People who have lived here their whole life tell me memories about what this house was like when they were little. It’s really cool,” she says, adding that some of her neighbors have shared photos taken at the house shortly after the turn of the 20th century.

Local lore has it that a house existed on the same lot back in the late 1800s, but the wife of the owner tipped over a lamp, burning down the house and damaging part of the white-steepled Congregational Church next door, Roget says. The vacant lot was purchased by John Whitmore – for whom she named the Inn – and the existing house was built in 1895. It changed hands several times before an artist purchased it, made some upgrades and opened the Whitmore Gallery there. Roget bought the home from him, although she says the home isn’t just “hers.”

“When I’m out in the garden, people honk and say ‘hi.’ They come by and bring me bulbs, and when I go out into the garden and see those flowers, I think of those people,” she says. “It’s so cool. They’re all part of this house.” •

It would be a stretch to say that everybody on Earth likes to laugh. It might not, however, be such a reach to suggest that laughing is a universal language – something that transcends barriers of race, religious affiliation and countless other social barriers. Oftentimes, the funniest moments come unexpectedly, riding the wings of whim.

Maybe that’s what makes the Redding Improv Players such a funny group.

For those who have never been to an improv show, it’s time to check it out. “I still meet people who have no idea we even exist,” says Samantha Clark, a founding member. “We’re going to step it up this year, try to get more in everybody’s face about it.”

Improv(isational) comedy is as unpredictable as live performances come. But perhaps more in this setting than other live performances, the likability of a show directly correlates with the levels of energy and participation of the audience. “I just like making people laugh. I was never that big of a fan of learning scripts and lines. Following blocking is more of a challenge,” says Joe Parks, who’s been with the group for eight years.

35 Enjoy March 2010

During a performance (for the past decade the group has performed at 8 pm the third Saturday of each month at Old City Hall), select members of the group participate in quick-witted games. Each month, the members rotate and take turns as host. The host chooses his or her favorite games to feature and then selects a cast who will best fit the games. Some of Parks’ favorites include “derailment” (a conversation between two people and when the host rings a bell the conversation topic must be changed on the fly), and the home shopping channel and dating games, which are mock versions of their TV counterparts. In a given night, the crew will run through 15 to 20 of these games.

Material is kept at a PG-13 level. In the past, the Players have allowed for one “blue performance,” where the material is more adult-oriented and risque. “For most of our shows, we kind of hold back with some of the material and language,” Clark says. “For that one show, it’s hard to make that switch. It sometimes feels like we say stuff just because. It’s funnier to walk the line than to completely jump over.” 

The Players group has been around more than 10 years and includes: founding members Samantha Clark, Russell Piette, David Rutherford and Lisa Drafall; longtime members Joe Parks, Sean Sampson, Bryan Crum, Susan Daugherty, Cannon Knapp, Ablan Roblin, Larry Solberg, Scott Warriner; and newcomers Jonah Taylor, Chris Gomez and Bil Woodford, who have joined in the past four months.

“If everybody would come and see it (the performance), they would realize this place isn’t big enough for the talent,” Taylor says of the 150-capacity performance area upstairs at Old City Hall. New to the group, Taylor is enjoying his time with the Players. He says they can’t practice like, say, a baseball team: “You never know what the audience might throw at you,” and that’s what makes improv exciting, he says. But the experience is also a bit humbling. “Being quick and funny at work is easy. Here, not so much. You’ve really got to grow,” he says.

Traditionally, December is the off month for the group.

However, last year was a different story. The Players - the majority of whom have extensive experience in performing arts – performed a play instead of the traditional comedy.

The Players plan to do more performances of that style, eventually more than once a month. •

Toes

S I M P L E S T E P S F O R A N AT H O M E P E D I C U R E Are your feet still hibernating and sweating it out in winter boots?

We’ve kept our toes toasty all winter in warm and woolies, but spring is just around the corner, so give those tootsies a kick-start on the sandal season with a rejuvenating pedicure.

Spa pedicures are wonderfully luxurious, but do-it-yourself pedicures still give excellent results, especially when you create your own spa environment. You will need: a small nail brush, a pumice stone (a wand type is easier to hold and use), fine and coarse emery boards, toenail clippers, a small pair of nail scissors and a selection of wooden orange sticks to push down cuticles. For the foot soak, a large bowl that your feet fit in comfortably works just fine.

Step One—Soak, Buff and Exfoliate Fill a bowl with warm water to a depth that will cover your feet up to the ankles. Sprinkle in a small handful of bath salts and a couple of drops of essential oils, such as lavender. The bath salts will help soften the skin and the lavender will relax the feet. Remove old toenail polish before immersing feet in the water. Now sit back with a cup of herbal tea, and relax for about 10 minutes. (Or try Sally Hansen Lavender Foot Scrub to soak and pamper feet, $6.)

Remove one foot from the water and dry it thoroughly. Place it on a clean dry towel. Repair chapped cuticles by brushing the base of each nail with jojoba or almond oil. Be sure not to cut the cuticle, as that can cause infection (Essie Cuticle Pen contains skin-softening jojoba, $12).

Cut and file nails, if necessary. Remove calluses by sloughing soles of feet with a dual-sided foot file. Use the coarse side on stubborn calluses and the softer side to even out rough patches on heels.

Exfoliate to smooth the rest of the foot by applying a scrub with finely crushed pumice stone (Olay Body Thermal Pedicure foot treatment, $10, contains pumice and white sand.)

Trim toenails with clippers—always cut the nails straight and 41 Enjoy March 2010

square to prevent ingrown toenails. Smooth off rough edges with an emery board, working in one direction; do not saw back and forth, as this splits the nail. Treat any nail infections with a drop of tea tree oil.

Step Two—Moisturize and Repair Target problem areas by using a smoothing foot treatment to relieve cracked heels and irritated skin. Ingredients like cucumber are cooling, while chamomile is calming (Heel to Toe Cucumber Heel Treatment helps repair cracked skin, $6, Sally Beauty.)

Pour half a teaspoon of your favorite lotion into the palm of your hand. Rub the lotion into hands then massage the calf muscle, ankle and foot. Stroke gently, but firmly, with upward strokes. Massage for at least four or five minutes. Slip on a cotton sock then repeat the pedicure on the other foot.

Step Three—Prep Nails For a neater looking pedicure, gently push back the softened cuticle off your nail plate. Don’t be too rough or you could cause irritation.

And never cut the cuticle, as that can cause infection. Prepare for polish by wiping lotion and oils off the nails with polish remover.

Next, apply a surface-smoothing base coat to fill in ridges (Total Nail Rx Fill Me in Surface Smoothing Base Coat, $8.) Use toe separators to help lessen the chance of mess-ups.

Step Four—Apply Polish Paint thin coats, starting in the middle of the nail and brush from the base to the tip. Repeat on the left and the right. Allow a minute to dry before applying a second coat. Finish with a fast-dry top coat.

(Tip: Fix mistakes by applying a top coat, then wiping off color.) Fun colors to try this season: MAC Fluid, $10; CoverGirl Rose Petals, $3; Essie Fruit Sangria, $8; L’Oréal Paris Chicklette, $6. •

RECREATION | story: Jon Lewis

urbanendurance S hasta O rienting and A dventure R acing

Typically, adventure racing involves teams of sleep-deprived endurance athletes battling the elements in rugged backcountry, armed with little more than a map and a compass and forced to rely on their wits for survival and, if lucky, success.

Dennis Holmes, an athletically inclined dentist with a fondness for Redding and its history, decided to put a different twist on the sport and came up with something he calls urban adventure racing.

His version, which debuted last spring, featured teams of three or four racers who were asked to run, bike and in-line skate their way to various checkpoints scattered throughout Redding. Among other tasks, the 26 racers had to locate historic buildings, count steel salmon, identify architectural styles, find Easter eggs, play two holes of disc golf and shoot some hoops with a Nerf ball.

Holmes, who has been practicing dentistry in Redding since 1987, became interested in adventure racing about seven years ago.

Although he has not competed in the big weeklong, expeditionlength events like last year’s Primal Quest Badlands, Holmes has entered a few 12-hour “sprint distance” adventure races.

He got the idea for an urban adventure race from similar events held in metropolitan cities like Portland and San Francisco and decided to give his race a Redding flavor by incorporating some local points of interest.

“I’m a member of the Shasta Historical Society, so I did some research on the older buildings downtown. I wanted to combine learning about Redding’s history, getting some exercise and doing some orienting,” Holmes says.

43 Enjoy March 2010

Competitors ran, skated and pedaled mountain bikes and road bikes, stopping frequently to make compass readings, check maps and do some problem solving. One task had racers in-line skating to a spot near the Monolith at Turtle Bay and using a compass to find a bearing that should have pointed at the famed eagles’ nest by the Highway 44 bridge. For extra credit, they were asked the names of the resident eagles (Patriot and Liberty).

“I loved it because it was like a little history lesson. It was really fun,” says Tori Parks, an accomplished runner and race organizer who took part in last year’s urban adventure race. “I thought it was a real clever thing. It has a lot of intrigue to it.”

Holmes hopes to add more intrigue to the second edition of the urban adventure race, scheduled for April 11. While being careful not to divulge too many details, Holmes says this year’s race will teach racers about the history of some Redding-area schools.

Last year, racers logged seven miles in the running portion, three miles on mountain bikes, about 17 miles on road bikes and a mile on in-line skates. This year, Holmes says he will shorten the running portion so most racers can finish the course in about four hours. In the future, after Redding’s two major bridge reconstruction projects are completed, Holmes says the race will include kayaking on the Sacramento River.

While the logistics and intricacies of the course prevent him from opening the race to the general public, people interested in racing can learn more by visiting the website of Team SOAR (Shasta Orienting and Adventure Racing) at www.teamsoar.net. •

dress: unscripted W E D D I N G D R E S S E S G E T A N E N CO R E P R E S E N TAT I O N

The three brides are picture perfect, but there’s not a cake, a guest or even a groom in sight. Rather than walking down the aisle, they jump right into Whiskeytown Lake together – and the resulting photographs are a collection of unscripted, creative, nontraditional art.

Many couples are embracing “trash-the-dress” photography sessions as a unique way to give wedding attire an encore. Some do it right after the wedding; others do it weeks, months or even years later. They’ve been done on the beach, in abandoned buildings… even on paintball courses and in muddy fields.

“A trash-the-dress shoot provides the bride and groom with a completely uninhibited session,” says Kara Stewart of Kara Stewart Photography. “They are not worried about the guests watching, spills on the dress, timelines, etc.”

When Denise and Gary Whitmire of Cottonwood renewed their vows last summer after 33 years of marriage, photographer Mary Smith of Digital Memories Photography asked her to consider a “trash the dresses” session.

“At first, I said, ‘No way. The girls will think we’re nuts,’” Denise says of her two sons’ wives, Tracy and Megan. “But they wanted to do it, too.” So the three Whitmire women headed to Whiskeytown in their wedding gowns. “At first, we got our feet in and just stood in the water… then we got our hair wet,” says Tracy, who married Gary Whitmire Jr. 12 years ago (and still fits in her wedding dress). Among their photos are a series in which they flip their water-soaked heads back, creating waterfalls above their faces. A shot from above shows the difference in the three skirts – Denise’s is form fitting, Megan’s extends outward slightly more, and Tracy’s full tulle skirt looks like a billowing cloud (“it felt like towing a boat” to swim with it, she says).

Props were encouraged, so they brought hats, heels, boas and boots. To make it a threegeneration affair, Tracy’s daughters – Chloe, 7, and Ellie, 3 – wore the flower girl dresses from their grandparents’ vow renewal, and Smith captured looks of sheer delight on their faces as they scampered among large rocks in their better-than-Sunday-finest.

Toward the end of the session, Tracy and Megan’s husbands donned casual shorts to join their wives in the water (Megan has been married to Tadd Whitmire for three years).

The Whitmires knew their dresses might not survive the session, but a little time on hangers in the garage was all they needed. Of course, blasting them with paintballs or riding a horse through the mud in the rain would likely end quite differently – but brides who are torn between doing a “trash the dress” session and saving their dress for a future generation don’t necessarily need to choose one or the other. “You could go to a thrift store and find a dress,” Smith says.

On the wedding day, couples tend to be stressed about details: Is the cake here yet? Are the guests happy? But during a trash-the-dress session, it’s a completely different vibe. “It’s just awesome. It’s so much fun,” says Smith, who enjoys them so much that she’s offering her wedding photography clients a free trash-the-dresses session in 2010.

Stewart agrees. “I love them and wish every couple would consider doing one,” Stewart says. “You get to capture the outfits and personalities in a more dramatic yet laid back way.”•

springchicken

INTEREST | story: Gwen Lawler-Tough

important lessons for raising chicks In 1996, I thought it would be cute to get some spring chicks from the local feed store for my two young sons. My half-baked idea was to give the chicks to a nearby farmer when they started getting big. I knew nothing about chickens then, and figured there wasn’t much to know, anyway.

I figured wrong. We all fell in love with our chicks, which the boys named Salt and Pepper – and we learned some valuable lessons along the way.

Lesson 1: Chickens have definite personalities that often characterize their breed.

Salt was a Rhode Island Red hen, which grew from a yellow chick into a hen flaunting red feathers, a lean build and an independent streak. Rhode Island hens will go off by themselves to search for bugs, while most hens stay together. Pepper was an Araucana rooster, whose black/white baby fuzz developed into an intricate pattern of brown, black, blue and red feathers. Those beautiful feathers are one of the reasons people go clucky over these birds.

For a few weeks, the chicks were happy, peeping little ones, content in their small box with cedar shavings. For heat, we put in a small lamp. For food, we bought the feed store’s chick starter. The boys couldn’t wait to come home from school to play with their chicks.

This entailed lying down on the grass and letting the chicks run all over them. So far, so good.

But around the third week, the chicks had a growth spurt and one morning I found both of them running around my kitchen floor.

Lesson 2: Chicks grow fast: fuzzy-cute becomes gawky-ugly.

It was time for the chicks to go to the farmer, but, we couldn’t part with them yet. Plan B: We’d keep the chicks until Salt started laying eggs, which the feed store guy told me started at around six months.

We had to figure out a new outdoor home to go with plan B. The weather was warm and the chickens were getting their feathers. My husband converted the bottom part of the boys’ two-story playhouse into the “Chicken Koop.” We covered the windows with chicken wire, and at night we would lock them up so the raccoons couldn’t come up from the creek and eat them.

Lesson 3: Many critters think chickens are “good eats.” You must lock them up at night without fail. Over the years, we have ignored this lesson to the chickens’ peril, and our grief.

The night plan worked well. The day plan was a bust. No one told me chickens had minds of their own. At six months, it was time for Salt to start laying her eggs. She ignored the comfy laying box we had made in for her in the chicken house. One day my husband spotted what he thought was a small light bulb on top of a pinball machine we had temporarily stored on our covered patio; it turned out to be Salt’s first egg.

Lesson 4: Chickens do have minds of their own and lay eggs where they want. They can also fly unless their wings are clipped.

We reluctantly made that trip to the farmer. But the next spring, we were back in the feed store, getting more chicks, this time for keeps.

We have raised dozens of chickens ever since. Over the years, we have had many roosters, and alas, many predators. Every rooster has died protecting its flock. In our rural area, bobcats can easily jump our fenced chicken yard.

Lesson 5: Roosters do give their lives to protect their flock. They also are important if you want to have little chicks.

Yes, the rooster makes his morning greeting, and it can be very loud. But without a rooster, the eggs that your hens produce will be delicious but sterile. If you want to have one of your hens go “broody,” or to sit on her eggs for 21 days and nights to produce chicks, you need a rooster. Most cities, including Redding, have laws prohibiting roosters. But if you live in a more rural area, consider getting a rooster so you can see one of life’s most touching sights: a mother hen nestling her chicks under her feathers. In today’s very complicated world, this makes me feel that all is well. • Check the municipal codes for chickens for your town online at municode.com; for handy chicken info, visit www.ithaca.edu/staff/ jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html. To reserve a chick, call your local feed store. They only arrive in the spring.

Among wildlife and conservation groups, one local artist’s work stands out among the throng. She has earned accolades from such groups as Quail Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited and the Dove Sportsman’s Society. More than 100 of her works have been donated to fundraising efforts including Upland Game, Shasta Land Trust, KIXE and The Wild Horse Sanctuary.

Roberta (Roby) Baer is a home-grown, self-taught Shasta County artist who enjoys international acclaim for her photorealistic pastel paintings.

Viewed close up or from a discreet distance, the images painted on Baer’s Bristol boards can hardly be distinguished from the view through a camera lens. Her artistic challenge is always to create that illusion so the viewer will ask, “Is it a painting or a photograph?” She works from reference photographs she and husband Rich snap from their backyard and on

country excursions, as well as contributions from friends and family. Other resources broaden her picture-perfect representations.

There is nothing like a visit to the zoo, she explains, to give her realistic images from which to work as she paints.

Baer has turned her rare talent into a “fun” lifestyle encouraged and supported by her husband for the past 12 years, ever since their two sons left home. Though she has plenty of space in their comfortable home to use as a studio, she prefers to paint from her favorite easy chair in the living room with a lap easel and side table ready with painting supplies.

Her large picture window offers inspiration with a bird’s-eye view of local wildlife in the rustic landscape just beyond their backyard.

Roby paints, Rich prints, mats and frames, and together they travel throughout the year to various arts and crafts shows in Oregon, California and Nevada where her work has found a faithful following. Baer attributes 

their successful marketing efforts to her husband for the set up and upkeep of websites.

Her love for wildlife springs from an idyllic childhood lived first along the banks of the Sacramento River, and later on a small ranch in Palo Cedro. She credits her early years as part of a “fishing family” for the beginnings of her interest in all things living. Along with identical twin sister and best friend Becky, and their older brother Garrett, Baer launched out on true Huckleberry Finn adventures, including rafting on the river between the area near the current Posse Grounds and where the Sundial Bridge now spans. Her patient mother, Baer says, put up with snakes and lizards, among other wild “critters” that the young adventurers brought home to nurse, display and study. Later, the ranch offered a whole new variety of domestic and wild animals for Baer to learn about and from which to store mental images for her artwork.

Her grandmother, Marjorie Garrett (a well-known impressionist artist during the 1940s and 1950s), Baer’s mother (who was a recreational oil painter) and her paternal grandfather, Hilton Reynolds, gave her the early foundations of art appreciation. Often the children would accompany their grandmother on her en plein air painting excursions where chalks and drawing pads kept little hands busy. Though Baer has had no formal training, she remembers Enterprise High School art teacher Rex Morvac explaining the importance of LMD (light, medium and dark) as contrasts. From those humble and inauspicious beginnings has grown a prolific and highly acclaimed body of work.

Among her professional achievements, Baer proudly lists recognition as a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America based on her lifetime achievements and awards; this gives her the right to tag PSA after her name. She is also an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, Shasta County Arts Council and North Valley Art League. Baer was included among “Master Painters of the World Showcase” in the 2003 issue of International Artists Magazine and was featured in the 2008 issue of Pastel Journal. Her work has graced the covers of numerous wildlife magazines and she has been chosen “Artist of the Year” by Quail Unlimited and Dove Sportsman’s Society, among other notable tributes.

Baer gushes about her life in the North State. A resident of Redding now, she says, “I love my town!” Evidence of her passion for her community and her artistry was recognized in her portrayal of the Sundial Bridge, chosen from among close to 100 entrants in the Turtle Bay Exploration Park contest. It was featured at the grand opening of the bridge on July 3, 2004, where she was honored alongside Santiago Calatrava, the bridge designer. •

boredom buster

Bridges

working out with a bosu ® ball

Bridges Starting position: Position the Bosu® Ball flat with the round part up. Lie on your back on the ground, with your feet on top of the ball. With your knees bent, your hips should be about a foot away from the ball. Plant your heels and bring your toes up.

Motion: Push through your heels and tighten your glutes (rear end), slowly lifting your hips off the ground. Hold for a second and then lower your hips back to the ground and repeat. You should really feel it in your hamstrings (back of your thighs) and glutes.

It is a few months into 2010, and you may be wondering what happened to your New Year’s resolution. You start the year off with a great attitude and even greater intentions, but now find yourself losing steam. If your resolution is fitness related, this is when you may feel yourself start to fall off the wagon. Maybe you’ve hit a plateau or you are feeling burned out. In many cases, this drop in motivation can be attributed to boredom. Not to worry! This is just a small hurdle in your path to a healthier lifestyle – and it’s the perfect time to add a little variety to your workouts.

A great way to spice up your routine is by incorporating exercises using a Bosu® Ball. This fantastic tool adds a balance component to exercises that you would typically do on a flat surface. This makes your workouts more challenging and interesting by engaging core stabilizing muscles that are often overlooked. Never used a Bosu® Ball before? No problem! Here are a few exercises to try the next time you hit the gym or buy one for home. They are available for about $100 at Target and most sporting goods stores.

The main objective is this: Don’t let boredom restrain you from your fitness goals. Change your routine! Add exercises that you’ve never done and try out equipment that you’ve been avoiding. Any exercises that you do standing up you can also do standing on a Bosu® Ball. Try it out. You just might enjoy the challenge.

Want a challenge?

Lift one leg up, complete a set and then switch sides. This will increase the workload and not allow one leg to overpower the other.

PERSONAL INVESTMENT I was a 10-mile-per-week walker (whoopee). Now 15 years later, I’m a walking, running, jump roping, spinning, ab crunching, iron pumping, exercise lover! I choose to personal train at Adamson’s Peak Performance because it is small, intimate, one-on-one, non-overwhelming, and not chockfull of skinny people. I feel totally comfortable there.

Working out makes me feel awesome! It jump starts my day, No, it makes my day! It makes me feel confident, strong, and invigorated.

Without my training I’d be depressed.

I work with personal trainers because they motivate, encourage, and push me to my limits. They keep me accountable and make my workouts fresh, exciting, and focused.

At first it was hard to do something like this for myself.

Yet I realized that when it comes to exercise and health I’d better move it or lose it! Now I can jog for miles, shop tirelessly for hours, and comfortably wear sleeveless tops. Thanks Peak Performance!

PUSH-UPS Push-Ups Starting position: Sitting on your knees, flip the Bosu® Ball upside down so the platform is facing up. Place your hands on the two handles directly across from each other. Keeping your arms straight and supporting yourself, walk your feet back so you are in a push-up position. A modified push-up position (on your knees) is also acceptable.

Motion: Keeping your abdominal muscles tight, back straight and hips down, bend your elbows about 90 degrees to bring your chest down towards the platform. Straighten your arms, returning to the starting position, and repeat. You might feel shaky at first but don’t give up! This is a great way to enhance a regular push-up and really engage your core.

Want a challenge?

Once you’re a pro, try lifting one foot off the ground while you complete a set, and then switch sides. This adds another balance element and you will really feel your glutes kick in.

Lunges Starting position: Stand facing the Bosu® Ball. Place your right foot on top of the ball and slide your left foot back so you are in a staggered stance with feet parallel and toes pointed forward.

Motion: Keeping your chest up and looking straight ahead, bend your left knee until it almost touches the ground and then stand up, returning to the starting position. Make sure your right knee stays in line with your right ankle and does not move forward past your toes. Switch legs and repeat. This will probably feel unbalanced and awkward the first couple of times due to the unstable surface and using your muscles in an unfamiliar way. As you master this exercise you will start to feel more comfortable.

Want a challenge?

Grab a five-pound medicine ball and hold it over your head while you complete each set. This will engage your core and provide an isometric exercise for your shoulders. Just make sure you don’t drop the ball!

COMMUNITY | story: Sandie Tillery \ photo: DevenCarter.com

Information about the library, its services and hours of operation are available by calling (530) 238-8273 More information about Lakehead can be found at www.shastalake-at-lakehead.com

Onceuponatime L akehead L ibrary L ights up the Community

“It takes a village,” Hillary Clinton said, “to raise a child.”

Lakehead has found it takes a village to build a library. Located in the old Canyon School with the blessings of Gateway Unified School District, an enthusiastic group of volunteers mans the desk, restocks shelves, catalogues new books, helps with the computer and greets visitors with the warmest of hospitality. Coffee and tea are always ready and conversation is often lively. Where once school activities brought the community together, now the Lakehead Library has given residents a new center for enrichment and socializing.

An active group of retirees has taken the lead in revitalizing the community. Lakehead Community Development Association (LCDA) has partnered with the library to create a central meeting place and clearinghouse for activities and information. The brainchild of Roger Hendricsen, who at the time was a school board member for Gateway School District and the president of LCDA, the library was launched in January 2008 under the able and enthusiastic leadership of Jeanne Lazaris and Pat Kaiser, who in turn enlisted the services of many willing volunteers.

With no budget and no books, the library began with donations of some warehouse storage shelves and $100. Coincidentally, the Redding branch of Shasta County Library was in the last stages of liquidating furniture and equipment from its old building. $55 purchased shelving, a book cart, bookends and chairs, a veritable windfall for the Lakehead community efforts. Shasta County Library also donated thousands of used books.

Since opening its doors, Lakehead Library has received donations of many, many books from local residents. LCDA has provided telephone service and free wireless Internet connection. Shasta County Library has been a source of advice about many things, including how to catalogue materials that include books, books on tape and CD, video movies and DVDs. Marty Thomas, resident computer whiz, gives free computer tutoring every Friday while Leon Wagner works the ongoing jigsaw puzzles in between helping with library duties.

57 Enjoy March 2010

For the past year, a different local artist has been chosen each month to display work in the library. Ann Webber’s artwork is currently on display. A full calendar of art exhibits scheduled for 2010 attests to the prolific talent of the community. Artist receptions in the library celebrate and honor local talent twice a month.

With only a small sign near the freeway off ramp, regular Interstate 5 travelers have been known to stop in. Several now check out books going one direction and bring them back on a return trip.

The checkout system is as friendly as the neighborhood: It is on the honor system with no time limit or late fees. A card is signed when books are taken, and books are received with a smile when returned.

Bill Rhodes good-naturedly describes his recent “five-minute” training as a substitute librarian. Cass Roberts jokes that the “ambience varies greatly, depending on the volunteers.” “Sometimes,” she said with a smile as she walked by with an armload of books, “it’s livelier than others.” Many of the volunteers comment that “it’s not just about books.” The library seems to have become the social center of the little town.

Sitting on the north shore of the Sacramento arm of Shasta Lake and bisected by Interstate 5, Lakehead’s population fluctuates between 500 and 1,500 residents, depending on the season.

Joe Myers, president of LCDA, shared about a “strong sense of rebuilding” in this predominantly retirement community. Volunteers planted 2,000 flower bulbs along the main streets at the beginning of the year as an enhancement project. He said the plan is to plant 2,000 bulbs every year. All the local businesses and organizations, he says, work together and separately to rebuild a sense of pride in their town that relies heavily on tourism for economic health. According to library volunteer Imogene Joseph, “It’s the best place I’ve ever lived,” and the little volunteer-run library seems to be a focal point. •

R E D D I N G ’ S B E N TO N D O G PA R K

Last year, when my son was given a puppy as a “gift,” I was less than thrilled. We felt unprepared for such a responsibility, and though my son promised to do everything to care for his new dog, I knew what reality would bring. When the time was right, I pictured us picking out a puppy together, and now suddenly it was as if we’d been given another child without any warning.

Then the tiny black and brown puppy arrived. Within minutes, canine love struck each one of us, and Allie became an official member of the family. I laugh now at how we’ve become like those other “dog people” in how we talk about our dog, post pet pictures on Facebook and put up a stocking for Allie at Christmas.

As every dog owner knows, a pooch of any age or size is much like having a child – it takes a lot of work and things are going to be destroyed.

Some outlet is needed for all that excess energy zipping through that doggy body. This energy is often released on things like the cushion of a couch, a newly sprouting garden or a slow, aging cat.

Yet with our small backyard, Allie has little room to release her pent-up energy. Thankfully, the North State is rich with outdoor opportunities and some great dog-friendly hangouts, including the Benton Dog Park.

The park is located on property owned and maintained by the city, and it features more than two acres of fenced land, drinking water and numerous seating areas. The nonprofit Benton Dog Park Association provides volunteer support and fundraising events to improve the park as a clean, healthy, off-leash play area.

Kenny and Mandee Carlson have enjoyed the Benton Dog Park on numerous occasions with their Golden Retriever, Cabo, and chocolate Labrador Retriever, Kira.

61 Enjoy March 2010

“Sometimes we buy sandwiches, go down there and throw the ball to the dogs,” Mandee says. “It’s just great that they have it available.

Cabo and Kira love it too.”

Another visitor to the Benton Dog Park, Destiny Engel, has taken a number of dogs to the park to play.

“It’s really nice to sit up on the hill with the view of the valley,” Destiny says. “You visit with the other owners and see the different personalities in the dogs.”

Ready to test it out, my husband and I drove Allie to the dog park recently. I was a bit nervous, wondering how Allie would react to the other dogs.

Because of a recent rain, the park was mostly empty. Two fenced sections divide the park: one for large dogs and one for small. It took us a few minutes to gain our bearings, read the rules and find the small dog area. Allie, however, immediately took to the environment.

An older gentleman kindly gave us some pointers. He said that there were usually a lot of dogs there and rarely was there a problem. The dogs loved being together. He told us how he enjoyed spending hours there just watching his small dog play with the others.

Meanwhile, Allie was running around, her nose taking in the paradise of doggy scents. She’d look up now and then to see where we were, and sometimes race back to me, reminding me of my children when they were small. “Look at me! This is fun!”

Before Allie, I’d forgotten how much love a dog brings to a family, and a family to a dog. After our visit to the Benton Dog Park, we now know a perfect place in town to take Allie for some play and canine friendships.

Destiny Engel said it best: “It’s really just a joyful place.” • Benton Dog Park is located 1700 Airpark Drive on the corner of Airpark and Placer Avenue. It’s open from 6 am to 10 pm.

WHAT’S COOKIN’ | by Lana Granfors

Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. St Patty’s Day is about enjoying things Irish…. shamrocks, leprechauns, music and cooking an Irish feast. With a little research into Irish stews and a little experimentation, this recipe may have its roots in the traditional approach, but by using a browned, bonein lamb and with additional seasonings, a much richer flavor is imparted. The potatoes will tend to fall apart some, which is OK, as it helps thicken the stew.

So, if the spirit of the day has you embracing the ‘wearin’ o’ the green,’ put a shamrock on your hat, cry out “Top o’ the morning to ya” every so often and spread the spirit in your home with this stew, an easy “shamrock” appetizer and a libation that will have them coming back for seconds.

Celebrate the day with gusto!

Ingredients: 6 thick slices bacon 2 lbs. lamb shoulder, bone-in, cut in medium thick slices or chunks 5 large garlic cloves, minced 2 lbs. potatoes, peeled, quartered 2 large onions, quartered 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch segments 1 turnip, peeled and roughly chopped 1 tsp. dried thyme 2-3 bay leaves 1 tsp. dried basil Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 quart water, warmed 2 T fresh chopped parsley

RECIPES

I rish S tew Heat a large (6-quart), thick-bottomed Dutch oven on medium heat.Gently cook the bacon, rendering its fat, for a few minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; when cooled, chop and set aside. Remove all but 2 T of bacon fat from the pan. Increase the heat to medium high.

Working in batches, brown the lamb pieces and bone on all sides. With the last batch, add garlic and sauté for about 1 more minute. Layer the meat and vegetables in the pan. Start with a layer of half of the meat, and add half of the potatoes, turnip, carrots and chopped bacon. Add the remainder of meat and top with remaining vegetables. Add thyme, bay leaves, basil, salt and pepper. Add water or stock to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce and let simmer, covered, but with the lid slightly ajar, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the meat is falling off the bones. Once done, remove the bones, the bay leaves and skim any excess fat from the stew. Adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. If needed, to thicken the broth, mash some of the potatoes into the liquid. Dish into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and some of the remaining bacon bits.

Serves 8 - 10

SOME SAY ITS IMPOSSIBLE... OTHERS A COINCIDENCE… Ten years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. A long time family friend called and told me she had terrible pain shooting down her leg, not to mention headaches so bad she had to take eight Advil a day just to make it through work and she was beginning to have digestive trouble (probably due to all the Advil). After I did an examination and took some films, I adjusted her spine and put her on a corrective care plan. Immediately things began to happen.

The pain in her leg was gone and within a few weeks she wasn’t having the headaches. And Since Advil was a thing of the past, Mexican food was back. But even more amazing was her cat allergies that had bothered her since childhood seemed to vanish and she hadn’t used an inhaler for symptoms of asthma in years!

She could not live her life without the limits of pain and sickness. I say this experience changed my life because this wonderful friend became my wife and mother of my children.

Seeing the difference those simple, specific adjustments made in her life has made me confident and passionate in my profession which is chiropractic.

Now as for my children, Kennedy, Madison, and Patrick, they were adjusted within the first hour of birth. They obviously didn’t complain about neck pain or back pain, I adjusted them to keep them healthy…as with all the hundreds of children I care for in my office. You see, it’s not normal for kids to get ear infections, asthma, allergies or a number

of other illnesses we see clear up in my office everyday. When the nervous system is working correctly, your internal resistance and healing powers are enhanced.

Harbor and Vietnam. This is horrifying and unacceptable!

Most people are beginning to understand that health comes from within. This is why chiropractic helps so many people. You see, GOD created a body that can heal itself. Your body doesn’t always need help: it just can’t have any interference. With Chiropractic, we don’t add anything to the body, or take anything from it. We find interference in the nervous system and remove it, thus enhancing the healing capabilities of the body. We know that it’s not impossible or coincidence its YOUR BODY CREATING IT’S OWN MIRACLE! What miracle is your body waiting for?

One of the great things about our office is that the doctor never charges to sit down with you and find out what your needs may be. Don’t wait any longer.

In an average year, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports over 2.2 million US hospital patients experienced adverse drug reactions (ADR’s) to prescribe medications.

Approximately 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed annually in the US, while approximately 8.9 million Americans are hospitalized unnecessarily. Last year, the WHO reported 783,936 deaths due to medications people took… and 160, 000 were when the drugs were prescribed correctly. More people died last year from medication than at Pearl

GIVING BACK | story: Kallie Markle | photo: James Mazzotta

connectingwomen the women ’ s fund ’ s philanthropic efforts

To speak with Anne Peterson about the Women’s Fund is to be ignited by her earnestness. She is so passionate about making systemic changes in the community that in moments, pessimism and discouragement seem absurd. Really, any member of the cabinet could communicate the spirit of the effort as effectively. The Women’s Fund of the Shasta Regional Community Foundation exists to mobilize the power of women through philanthropy, but a simple ‘what is it’ question evokes a far more layered answer.

“It is a fund, and it is people,” explains Peterson, chair of the Fund.

“The idea is that you come together and pool your money in order to have a greater impact than an individual could have on their own.”

The Women’s Fund is a grant-making organization comprised of Advocates, who contribute a $200 annual membership fee, and Architects, who contribute $1,000 annually. Membership is made up of men and women from all generations and backgrounds with the common goal of empowering women in the Redding area.

Throughout the year, the Fund hosts educational forums in varying topics relating to the particular struggles of north state women. The public forums are frequently attended to the point of standing room only. Out of these endeavors, members discuss and vote on an area of grant making for the year. The 2010 vote will choose whether to offer grants in the area of helping women gain skills for economic independence, develop healthy lifestyles, or break the cycles of poverty. Once the choice is made, local organizations whose goals fall within the focus area submit proposals, which are then reviewed by the grant committee. There is a great deal of research done in order for the Fund to remain accountable to its members. Finally, financial gifts are distributed as the committee sees fit and the community benefits.

As Peterson sees it, “it’s a good bang for your buck.”

The concept of a Women’s Fund is not new; this particular structure is at least 30 years old and there are thousands of incarnations all over the country, though each Women’s Fund is self-contained. All the money is raised locally and granted locally.

A benefit to this structure, according to Peterson, is that “it allows a closer relationship to one’s philanthropy than just writing a check.”

The idea for a local Women’s Fund began germinating in 2008, and as conversations became collaborations and then commitments, 10 expressly different women with varying backgrounds recognized themselves as a cabinet with a shared purpose.

“We knew (the Women’s Fund) would be a good fit for Redding 77 Enjoy March 2010

because we’re not a wealthy community, but we’re a very generous community,” explains Peterson. The Fund went public last October and now claims 60 members. The founders were overwhelmed by the response of many who gave so generously.

It’s important to them that people understand the Women’s Fund is not an elitist organization. This isn’t the clichéd, ‘old money’ philanthropic club: the Fund makes every effort to be as inclusive as possible in order to encourage more giving. Similarly, it strives to assist other established charities rather than compete against them for what precious generosity the community can afford to give.

“One of the beauties is that you have the choice to be involved as much or as little as you want,” encourages Peterson. Theirs is an organization unburdened by a packed calendar and the stresses of constant fundraising; the amount of members is the direct source of the amount of funds. Outside of the optional forums, members meet once a year to honor the grant recipients.

The success of the forums, where experts address topics from poverty cycles to cultural shifts affecting the lives of girls, has demonstrated a genuine hunger for information. Though one purpose of the forums is to inform the decision of the Fund’s grant making committee, they also offer attendees counsel on how to improve the lives of women. “The forums teach us what variables can be changed (and provide) good, take-away, practical information,” Peterson says.

For those without a regular charity outlet, or for those looking to offer a little more, The Women’s Fund is hopeful people will understand how welcome they are to participate. As their literature explains, “conditions for women dictate the health of a community.”

Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Women’s Fund must do so by March 31st to participate in the 2010 grant making vote. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the free public forums.

The North State exceeds the national average in teen births, has fewer college-educated women than average, and registers high rates of child abuse, domestic violence, and unemployment, but as the Women’s Fund reminds us, “change happens when those closest to the problem are engaged in the solution.” • The Women’s Fund of the Shasta Regional Community Foundation 1335 Arboretum Drive, Suite B, Redding • (530) 244-1219 www.shastarcf.org

DEAR ENJOY One of Webster’s definitions For the word “enjoy” is as follows: “to have or experience with joy; get pleasure from; relish”.

There could be no more apt interpretation for the worth of your wonderful publication. My wife and I moved to Redding five years ago from a more populated urban area. Now, our receipt of Enjoy helps enable us to realize the best of all possible worlds… i.e. the beauty and relaxed living that Redding provides coupled with the taste of sophistication engendered by the content of your publication.

Congratulations on your noteworthy success.
