When life gets a bit hectic, it’s important to take time for yourself and we recommend heading for the Hills…

Rolling Hills. Check out Rolling Hills for plenty of fun-filled events to take you from loads of laundry to fabulous fun with the girls. Our playdate? Golf Fore a Cause. Here are some of the highlights:

Rule number one is, if you’re having fun with your friends, why not multitask?

Make sure your efforts are going to support a bigger cause, like Girls Inc., the oldest girl-focused organization in the United States! Girls Inc. is all about inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold and Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Valley does just that, right in our own backyard. So while you’re swinging away at Golf Fore a Cause at Sevillano Links, you’re actually empowering girls to reach their full potential. We women know that giving is always more fulfilling than receiving. (girlsincnsv.org)

Boutique shopping… Who would have thought we could shop while we golf?! Amy and I visited the Love Skin Petite Boutique, where we found wonderful skincare products and Amy got the cutest dress at the Daisy Rae’s Boutique. Find them both on Facebook.

A sunny disposition… our day to shine.

Nail polish by OPI in A-Taupe the Space Needle (Mission Beauty in Redding); CARGO Beach Blush face powder; Smashbox eye shadow in Cabernet; and Too Faced Lip Gloss in Erotic (Powder Room in Chico). Sunglasses by Sundog, Paula Creamer Aviator glasses (sunglassesgiant.com) a gift, just for attending.

Sole Love shoes, comfortable and beautiful and the company gives back to charity! (shopsolelove.com) Find out about upcoming golfing events at Sevillano Links: sevillanolinks.com

Teach a girl to golf, and she can do business forever.

We learned many valuable lessons on the green. From putting to power drives—we can negotiate anything on the golf course now.

Eat, drink and be healthy... a beautiful spread for lunch: dark greens with just the right amount of tangy dressing, wild rice salad and a lovely herb chicken, from Bacio Catering (baciocatering.com) in Chico. Then Pink Box Bakery adorned us with an “enjoy” cupcake… what a sweet surprise!

InHouse Marketing & Design

We’re still basking in the afterglow of our 5th anniversary celebration, and right around the corner is Thanksgiving — another perfect opportunity to share our gratitude for the wonderful community in which we live.

Yvonne Mazzotta publisher

We have an extra-special treat for you this month. Our very own Megan Rapinoe, a star performer in this year’s Women’s World Cup, graciously took the time to answer our pressing questions about her experience on soccer’s biggest stage. (And, is Jack’s Grill really the best steakhouse on the planet? Flip ahead to find out.) The soccer ace is just one of the many remarkable residents that you’ll meet in these pages.

brought to you by

Michelle Adams publisher Ronda Ball managing editor Amy Holtzen graphic designer Matt Christensen graphic designer Kerri Regan copy editor James Mazzotta advertising sales representative/ photography/new business developer Michael O’Brien advertising sales representative Suzanne Birch advertising sales representative CJ Lamkin advertising sales representative

We’ll introduce you to the fine folks of the Redding Central Model Railroad Club, many of whom have had an interest in model railroading since childhood. Meanwhile, the Crafty Ladies of Senior Citizens of Shasta County have also channeled their passion to create lovely hats for premature babies, quilts for seniors in convalescent homes, blankets for traumatized children and helmet liners for National Guard soldiers.

Speaking of crafty, we were delighted to stumble upon an Oroville company where a dedicated team creates souvenirs for prestigious locales including the White House gift store. Its work has been recognized by celebrity TV chef Paula Deen and Oprah magazine – and all its products are made in the United States.

We are humbled by Andy Pierce, who was spurred to action upon seeing mothers in a Ugandan village delivering babies in a center where healthcare providers wash their hands in buckets of rainwater. The center had a plumbing system and sinks, but no way to get water up to the tower. The Redding missionary solved this problem with a bicycle and a swimming pool pump. “When you’re there, you feel like for such a time as this, I was born,” he says of his missions work. “You feel right.”

And in honor of Veterans Day, we spotlight the Fregoso Outdoor Foundation, which provides outdoor adventures for American military heroes (particularly wounded warriors) and their families. Max and Kelly Fregoso grew up enjoying the best of the North State — hunting and fishing, horseback riding, water sports and winter sports — and now offer similar opportunities for those who sacrificed so much.

Join us in giving thanks for all of our blessings, large and small. Enjoy!

Story: Barbara Rice

MWelcome Homeb A M E R I can association of university women home tour

In 1970, the American Association of University Women in Redding got together to brainstorm fundraising ideas. “We were in our 20s and tried to think of topics that we were personally interested in,” remembers Gerrine Peckenpaugh.

Home decorating was one idea, and 41 years later, it has blossomed into the Home Tour and Member Art Show, a yearly holiday event that draws more than 1,200 attendees.

Why has the tour endured and grown in popularity? “Some want to see large homes they might never have the delight to tour,” Peckenpaugh says. “People are interested in new types of flooring, appliances, paint and, of course, environmental issues. We try to have our hostesses give out as much technical information as possible.”

Choosing which homes will be on the tour takes five months. “In the beginning, we had more homes on the tour, “Peckenpaugh says.

“With the change in our economy, we see homeowners doing more clever things with the objects they already own. The committee tries to balance one ‘showstopper’ home, which is usually professionally decorated, with a smaller family house and perhaps a remodeled house.”

While home decorating may have been the impetus for the home tour, the purpose has always been to raise funds for scholarships for women. Over the years, they have raised more than $330,000 and awarded more than 300 scholarships, says Martha Hamon.

One recipient was Doni Chamberlain-Greenberg, founder of A News Café, who earned a scholarship in 1992. “I married young and quit college, and graduated from Chico State University with a degree in journalism exactly 20 years after I graduated high school. I had two years under my belt at Shasta College, and was pretty freaked about 16 Enjoy November 2011

how I would afford the transfer to Chico. It was 1992. I applied for every scholarship I could.”

Recipient Karen Stufkosky, now attending Humboldt State University, feels her transfer after Shasta College would have been difficult had she not received her scholarship from AAUW. “It has made a world of difference to me by allowing me to focus on my studies and not have to hold a job at the same time,” she says.

Volunteers make the home tour and the scholarship event happen, Hamon says. “We need hostesses at each home to check attendees in, members to keep coffee, tea and cookies flowing at the Art Show house, probably four people for the Home Tour sweepstakes, and all the artists showing in the Art Show to talk about and sell their art usually 20 members.”

The volunteers who make the Home Tour possible are helping women to continue their education.

“I felt so honored to be a scholarship recipient. After that, I saw the American Association of University Women’s annual home tours in a different way,” Chamberlain-Greenberg says. “Suddenly, it was about more than touring nice homes. It was a means to raise money to help women like me achieve an educational goal. For that, I’m eternally grateful.” • www.aauwredding.org

stacey clark ’ s hand - crafted pie birds Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday for Stacey Clark; giving thanks is something she does daily. She is thankful for community and for creativity, and she is thankful she’s been able to combine both to build a thriving ceramics business.

Clark is no stranger to the world of ceramics. “Before I was born, my mother met a lady who owned a ceramics shop in Santa Cruz and started taking her classes,” she says. “After I was born, she’d take me down there, where I would sit in my bassinet while she painted.”

When Clark was 10, she began painting ceramics alongside

her mother. Today, she continues to apply her artistic talents to her handicraft company, Two Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in Shingletown.

Clark’s business was born out of a need to help her mom fulfill a personal desire. “My mom was collecting pie birds and wanted to increase her collection,” says Clark. “She said she was going to get a mold and pour her own because she couldn’t find them very easily.”

Familiar with eBay – she had been supplementing her income selling items she found at flea markets and thrift stores on the continued on page 20 November 2011 Enjoy 19

“People are coming back around to the old-fashioned way of baking pies…”

worldwide market – Clark typed “pie birds” into the search engine. To her surprise, more than 500 listings displayed.

Realizing pie birds were hot commodities, Clark began crafting and selling the ceramic utensils not only from her virtual storefront but at local craft shows and boutiques. The birds were a hit, and it wasn’t long before her business “took off like crazy.”

Clark attributes her success to the public’s renewed interest in the birds. “People are coming back around to the old-fashioned way of baking pies,” says Clark. Since Victorian times, these adorable kitchen helpers have been used to let off steam when baking double-crust pies. This venting prevents the filling from bubbling over and keeps the crust from falling.

And they’re simple to use. “You put your bottom crust down, then your pie bird, then your filling and the top crust over the bird,” says Clark. “You make sure the beak is clear and finish your pie as usual.” When the birds aren’t being used for baking, they bring cheer to any kitchen decor.

Keeping her customers’ individual tastes in mind, Clark offers a wide assortment of designs. “I try to make sure there is something for everyone,” she says. Her styles range from the classic blackbird to fruit themes featuring vibrantly painted strawberries and apples. And for the holidays, she offers special motifs relevant to each season.

Her uniquely crafted birds set Clark apart from her competition. “People who collect pie birds want to buy something that’s made special, not just mass produced,” she says. continued on page 22

Clark’s dedication to quality has paid off. Over the past 11 years, she has sent a flock of more than 5,000 pie birds into the culinary world. Many of those birds can be found in kitchens across the North State, a community that Clark cherishes.

Since moving here from the Bay Area a year ago, Clark finds the close-knit community refreshing and inspiring.

As Your Skin Ages

When you are young, your skin expresses the freshness and energy of life. As you age, your personality (through your facial expressions) and lifestyle (through sun exposure, alcohol and cigarette consumption, diet, exercise etc), leaves an imprint on your aging skin. Loss of collagen is the key factor in the visible signs of aging, as the skin becomes looser and less firm.

Typically, from the age of thirty, a once clear, well defined face begins the aging process as the cheeks droop, nasolabial folds become prominent and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes emerge. If no preventative action is taken, as the forties are reached, a sculptured jaw line can become a saggy jowl line, or a double chin can appear, and wrinkles become ingrained.

What is the triniti™ Skin Series?

The complete skin program for immediate, visible and long lasting results, triniti™ is a non-surgical treatment in three steps, performed sequentially, during the same office visit. With the triniti skin program, color correction, and wrinkle treatment can all be achieved in a single session, helping you achieve total facial renewal in just 3 treatment sessions!

Here are some of the reasons why you can trust the triniti procedure : FDA-cleared medical solution for total facial renewal

Featuring the revolutionary elōs™ technology, combination of bi-polar radiofrequency and light/laser energies, allows the precise heating of the targeted treatment area using significantly less light energy compared to conventional IPL/laser treatments. This ensures a safe, effective and virtually painless treatment.

Non-surgical and non-invasive treatment results in no downtime

You can return to your daily activities immediately following treatment.

Cost-effective treatments: noticeable results can be achieved in a single office visit.

Only 3 visits are required to complete the long-lasting results of the triniti program, compared to other treatment technologies that require 5 or more visits.

Effective on all skin types and all skin colors

Story: Phil Reser

leftcoast from the

guitarist david jacobs - S train develops his own style Twelve years of playing his music from the Sierra Nevada to the Berkshires have made David Jacobs-Strain into a performer of strength and virtuosity.

He plays what he calls “Left Coast blues” for the indie rock generation.

His guitar work jumps from wild finger style to slide and percussive drive with a depth and fluidity that produces enough tone to rival an electric jam band. And his voice carries an emotional intensity that his songs demand.

At 26 years old, Jacobs-Strain is already a veteran of the national club and festival circuit.

He has opened for Boz Scaggs, and shared the stage with musicians like T-Bone Burnett, Bob Weir, Los Lobos, Lucinda Williams, TajMahal, Etta James, Ruthie Foster, Dave Mason and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

David Jacobs-StRain and Joe Craven will appear in concert on Saturday, November 5 at Bernie’s Guitar in Redding.

Doors open at 7:30 pm and the show begins at 8 pm.

Tickets are available at Bernie’s, 3086 Bechelli Lane or via telephone at (530) 223-2020.

24 Enjoy November 2011

His festival credits include the Strawberry Music Festival, MerleFest, the Lugano Blues to Bop Festival in Switzerland, the Newport Folk Festival, the Telluride Blues Fest, the Vancouver Folk Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Growing up in Eugene, Ore., he says his parents played a lot of Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers.

One of his first guitar songs was Bessie Smith’s “Backwater Blues.”

In middle school, when he was first starting to play, most of the kids were listening to Nirvana or grunge music.

Jacobs-Strain didn’t care for either.

“The impetus for me to play country blues was that it was a way of identifying myself as different from everybody else,” he says. “It was the alternative to alternative.”

He opted for acoustic over electric. As he explains, “An acoustic is not a harder instrument than an electric, but you have to work it different ways to get the same range. With the great electric guitar players, like Jimi Hendrix or Mark Knopfler, the sound is in their hands. Same with acoustic players, but the acoustic is more physical to play. It gives me a wider palette, but I have to work harder to get it. Of course, I try to make it look easy.”

“For me, there’s something about rural blues that has a transcendent quality, a wide open sound. Think of the rhythm of a train. There’s a cross between spiritual and secular music in Fred McDowell. Compared to commercial electric blues, the Delta blues are more interesting modally and have a spiritual depth to them. You can also hear anger, humor and empathy. I’m going after the texture, the tone and feel of that. I’ve always been drawn to the trance-oriented, heavier, Delta blues, to the driving, passionate, raw, distraught sound of somebody like Son House When you’re in the flow of the music, there’s an ecstasy to it.

“But I’m not really interested in reproducing old songs note for note,” he says. “I’m constantly developing my own way of playing.

The cross pollination of different styles is important to me. But it’s not like I’m not trying to take blues and combine it with something in particular. I’m just finding my own voice within the blues, and I think bringing in those textures and sounds can really open up the language of the genre.”

His work as a whole falls neatly in the gaps between multiple genres.

There are various stylistic references in his music: bluesmen Skip James and Charlie Patton, Afro-pop star Salif Keita and rock icon John Lennon.

“In high school I really got into world music. I listened to Indian slide guitar player V.M. Bhatt, who made an album called Saltanah. It was recorded live with a Palestinian oud player. That record had a profound effect on me. I must have listened to it around 500 times. One of the exciting artistic challenges for me is to continually wrestle with what is blues and how do you make it new and still respect where it came from.”

His latest record, “Live from the Left Coast,” is built on the raw energy and stripped-down vibe that fans have been asking for: David on guitar and vocals and Bob Beach on harmonica are all it takes to bring this set of mostly originals to life.

“My songs are like my taste in food,” he says, “I’d call it ‘rustic gourmet,’ taking the basic building blocks and doing something different with it to make it my own.” •

dog-on-it R U S T I E S G R A N N Y E C O - F R I E N D LY P E T B E D S Paul and Tamina Carver are animal lovers. They’re the kind of people who bring home everyone’s extras – the neighbors’ donkey, Joe, when they need to move, dogs from whomever.

They have that “I get you” kind of relationship, so when Tamina describes her now-deceased St. Bernard/Australian Shephard mix, Rustie, as “the love of my life and the fruit in my looms; he was my soul mate,” Paul doesn’t even flinch. He completely understands.

And while the couple would do almost anything to assure a safe, comfortable, happy life for all of their critters, forking out $400 for a dog bed just wasn’t on the table. But that’s what it costs to accommodate a 230-pound English Mastiff named Leo when you decide to to bring one home. At least that’s what it used to cost, in the days beforethe Carvers decided to take matters into their own hands and develop eco-friendly dog beds for all sized dogs at reasonable prices.

Three years later, what started out as a problem—finding a reasonably priced dog bed for an English Mastiff – has turned into a thriving business for the Carvers. Doing business as RustiesGranny, the Cottonwood-based couple source vintage and remnant fabrics and fill them with plastic wrap from businesses that would otherwise be sent to the landfill. Their patented designs feel remarkably like memory foam.

“The dogs get in the beds and they don’t get out is our only complaint so far,” laughs Tamina. She also notes that the beds are “highly recommended for older dogs because it keeps them up off the ground.”

Important to the Carvers is the fact that customers can maintain the beds using their own household plastic, such as bread and potato bags, newspaper sacks and bags from frozen veggies. When the beds start to lose their loft from extensive use over several months, people need just open the fastener and continued on page 28

stuff more plastic in. “You can imagine how much plastic we keep from the landfill on a weekly basis,” says Tamina.

While the beds were originally intended for pets, the couple is finding that lately one of the biggest markets is for humans.

“Little kids love to dive on our beds and lay on them and watch TV,” notes Paul. Adds Tamina, “They’re great to take camping because you really can’t ruin them.” The couple enjoys choosing a large variety of fabrics to meet the décor needs of every customer.

They note the delight they took in finding pig-themed fabric for a customer’s pot bellied pig.

The fabric, in fact, seems to be taking over the couple’s small ranch home in Cottonwood. Evidence of the business is everywhere, from the dedicated sewing room to the living room where fabric and pre-stuffed beds are stacked high, to the driveway where the RustiesGranny trailer is parked to haul finished products to market. Paul, Tamina and Tamina’s mother choose fabric combinations for the beds.

RustiesGranny dog beds are available in 26 stores from Turtle Bay to Sparks, Nev., and Pleasanton. The couple holds a special appreciation for Shasta Farm and Equipment in Cottonwood for being the first store to support their business. They have seven standard sizes but can customize beds to accommodate any animal, including humans. Most weekends will find Paul and

28 Enjoy November 2011

Tamina out at pet and craft fairs, where they find true fulfillment interacting with customers, their pets and other vendors.

A naturally gregarious pair, the couple was married in 2003 after being introduced by Tamina’s daughter, Kiley McDonald.

Perhaps RustiesGranny was fated on the couple’s honeymoon, when they both brought their dogs on a coastal retreat and took photos of their paw prints in the sand.

Whether it was fate or necessity doesn’t seem to matter. The bottom line, says Tamina, is that “we want every dog to have a great bed. No dirt.” • RustiesGranny Pet Beds Paul and Tamina Carver On Facebook at RustiesGranny Pet Beds (530) 526-9108

John Harper is probably best known in the North State as an art professor at Shasta College and co-director of the Shasta College Art Gallery, but he’s also an artist and curator who has been known to play a little rock-and-roll guitar.

If you happened to have been in Twin Falls, Idaho in the late 1960s, you might have caught Harper’s band playing rock and roll at Bud’s Villa Lounge. At 17, he was old enough to play in the bar,

but had to leave when he was on break because he was too young to drink.

Harper is also a North State native whose grandmother, Mary Crockett, was a Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu. “My family has been in the Redding area for about 1,500 years,” he says, adding that his father’s family settled in Whitmore in the 1860s. continued on page 32

November 2011 Enjoy 31

Harper began his art career in 1971 by taking a correspondence course from the Washington School of Art while in the Army, stationed in Kassel, Germany. “The course was very basic and I never finished, but I was inspired by the incredible work of artists like Rubens and Rembrandt at the museum in Kassel,” he says.

When Harper returned home from the Army two years later, he went to Shasta College and then San Jose State University as a graphic arts major. Bored with graphic arts, Harper started painting and exploring printmaking. “When I am pulling a print off the press, such as an etching, block print, monotype or lithograph, the paper covers the image, so when I turn the paper over and see it for the first time, that is a very exciting and magical moment,” he says.

“I’ve had great experiences, it’s very rewarding working with artists. Really, I’ve gotten as much from them as they have from me.” he heard what sounded like a gunshot coming from the back of the class. A student had some 22-caliber shells and a 9-volt battery in his pocket. One of the shells exploded. “I think I’ve taught some pretty good classes, but that’s the only time I’ve had someone’s pants explode,” Harper says matter-of-factly.

John and his wife of 37 years, Mary, recently finished building a home in Millville. They included in their project an art studio/gallery space adjacent to their house where Harper can exhibit and curate the work of artists. Susan Schimke, a Shasta College art instructor who worked with Harper for 20 years, says, “He is uncompromising about bringing excellence to everything he does.” It looks like part of Harper’s retirement plan is to treat art lovers to a chance to view art through the lens of his “uncompromising excellence.” •

After college, Harper wasted no time in becoming an important part of the arts scene in Redding. Besides doing his own work, in 1978 he went to work as curator at the Redding Museum of Art & History.

In those days, the art and history galleries each changed exhibits monthly.

In 1984, Harper began teaching printmaking at Shasta College and was a full-time arts instructor at Shasta College until his attempt at retiring in June of this year. He is now an art professor emeritus and still substitutes when needed. “I’ve had great experiences. It’s very rewarding working with artists. Really, I’ve gotten as much from them as they have from me,” Harper says.

In 1998 Harper and his sister, Leah Harper, produced a show that told the story of their childhood through sculpture. The exhibit was called “Cross-Eyed” and some consider it to be one of the most popular exhibits ever shown at the museum. It has since traveled to the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas and the Hermitage Museum in Nashville.

Harper’s imagery is inspired by what he calls “the sublime beauty of Northern California.” Borrowing from his rich heritage, he refers to his work as “deeply autobiographical, reflecting memories of past experiences.” Last fall, Harper collaborated with artists David Gentry and Colleen Barry to present “Formed by Fire” at Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Harper did demonstrations of burning techniques on paper using gunpowder torches, match heads, burning sticks and rotary tools.

Harper didn’t say if using gunpowder in his art was inspired by one of his students, but he recalls teaching a class at Shasta College when 32 Enjoy November 2011

When it comes to selling

real estate first impressions are EVERYTHING! No matter what the price range of a house I list, it is important the house look as close to Model Home quality as possible. This is where Red Door Redesign comes in. Sandy can turn a home from a cluttered mess into a breath taking beauty, quickly and cost effectively. My clients say her expertise and enthusiasm is contagious, so much so that they often hire Sandy to design their new home when the “redesigned” one sells. Red Door Redesign compliments the real estate brand that I’ve worked so hard to create over the last 8 years!

this is what

feels like.

A normal mammogram is music to the ears of any woman. But did you know this test can overlook some cancers? Dense-breasted or high-risk women may actually need more than a mammogram for adequate cancer detection.

At North Valley Breast Clinic, we calculate your breast cancer risk before any exams are done. And we measure your breast density during your mammogram – which every woman still needs. We then use those findings to determine whether you also need supplemental screening.

We are the only facility in the region to offer breast cancer screening tailored to each woman. Our leading-edge program strives to detect more cancers, find them sooner, and discover them when they are smaller – an approach that could save your life.

Give yourself the best chance to beat breast cancer ...

That’s what true confidence feels like.

atruegift OROVILLE’s VERY OWN

If you’ve ever picked up a souvenir apron or hand towel from a national park, the White House gift store or the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, or carried home sourdough bread from Boudin Bakery in San Francisco in one of its market bags, chances are it was designed, manufactured and packed in downtown Oroville at Mary LakeThompson Ltd. Artist Lake-Thompson designs a wide line of popular gift wares with a distinctive look that has gained followers across the country. “‘Clean’ and ‘fresh’ are words I hear a lot from others to describe my designs,” says Lake-Thompson. “I describe my work as illustrative.”

Others may simply say her work is just delightful. From a farmers’ market line showcasing fresh fruits and veggies to a series of whimsical Christmas designs to a line of realistic-looking dogs (including her

M A R Y L A K E -T H O M P S O N

own and her vet’s) dressed for Halloween, Lake-Thompson has designs on everything from linens to ceramics to cloth-wrapped packages of cocoa and tea. Oprah Winfrey has noted Mary Lake-Thompson items in the Favorite Things section of her magazine more than once.

A hallmark of her work is its placement on linen. “Anything we can do with towels, we do,” she says, noting a popular line of cake mixes wrapped in her illustrated dish towels. Celebrity TV chef Paula Deen has become a fan of Lake-Thompson’s work and has commissioned her to design aprons and kitchen linens based on Deen’s recipes.

She is also working on a line of linens with an equestrian theme for the Kentucky Derby. “It spins off of itself. It just keeps growing,” she notes of her business. Lines that have included bees and chickens continued on page 36 November 2011 Enjoy 35

have grown immensely popular. She has a line of kitchen-themed fabricfor Robert Kaufman fabrics which has gained fans of quilters.

With a note of pride, Lake-Thompson stresses that her products are made in the United States in two buildings she and husband Richard Thompson own in the historic district of Oroville. A small retail store fronts their graphic design center in a Civil War-era building on Montgomery Street. Just down the road is their manufacturing, packaging and storage facility in a turn-of-the-century building that once housed the town’s Montgomery Ward department store. A tin ceiling evokes memories of the building’s earlier incarnation.

Pride in the community of Oroville is another trait of LakeThompson. She’s been a resident for more than 30 years, when she and Richard moved from San Francisco for Richard to take a job in area hospitals as a psychologist. Upon arrival, the couple bought an old farmhouse surrounded by Mission olive trees and have been slowly restoring it. “Every year we take on a new project on the house,” she laughs. “We’re almost finished.”

The olive trees have even been integrated into Mary LakeThompson Ltd. The oil they have milled in a local facility is bottled and sold under the label, from traditional Mission olive oil to fusions of basil, lemon and garlic.

A survey of Lake-Thompson’s store and manufacturing facility can inspire anyone intent on creating a career and lifestyle based on creativity. Inspiration for her endeavors came early for LakeThompson, from parents who always encouraged her to pursue the arts. Of her father, she notes, “He always said, ‘You can make money in art. You can do it.’” Her mother, of course, took great delight in seeing her daughter’s name become a brand for quality homewares in stores throughout the country, including gift shops of national monuments.

Her own daughters, Sara and Abby, have “been my muse all these years,” she says. Her early artwork often included little girls.

Now grown, Sara has a hand in the family business and brings a younger perspective to some of the graphic designs. Abby works at DreamWorks in Los Angeles.

There’s a family-like atmosphere at Mary Lake-Thompson. About 30 people keep the business running smoothly, many of whom get their start through the Regional Occupational Programs at local high schools. Mary and her senior staff often travel with younger employees to the three big trade shows in New York, Atlanta and Dallas, and the Mary Lake-Thompson Ltd. showroom in Atlanta, the hub of the giftware industry. A spirit of mentorship permeates the business, with pride taken when employees go off to college and return for a visit or seasonal employment.

While her designs have caught the eye of Oprah, many North State residents have not yet caught on to the fact that the wares are proudly made in Butte County. A trek to Oroville will reward visitors with outlet prices and the chance to mingle with Mary’s inspired and friendly staff. • Mary Lake-Thompson Ltd. 2121 Montgomery St., Oroville Monday-Friday: 9am-5pm Saturday: 10am-5pm, Sunday: Closed www.marylakethompson.com • (800) 279-8352 Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

Choose a Color

M A K E T H E M O S T O F YO U R M A N I C U R E Facing the wall of nail colors at the beauty supply store can be overwhelming and they begin to look all alike. What’s the best shade for your skin tone and hair? Hold a sheet of white paper in bright, natural light next to clean, bare hands. If the skin looks red or tinged with pink, the undertone is cool.

Warm skin will look more yellow or golden.

Want Red? Find the right hue. For anyone whose hands have pink undertones, a blue-based cherry red will look the prettiest (Essie Forever Young). Those with more yellow in their skin will do well with a tomato or slightly orange red (Sally Hansen Runway Red-y). Just remember: Red is bold, so be sure you can carry off such a strong color by incorporating it into the rest of your style as well.

Pretty Pale: Try transparent rather than opaque, as the nail bed is somewhat visible through a sheer shade. Cool tones can go with a sheer pink polish (OPI Bubble Bath).

Olive undertones should choose warm beige, mauve or a caramel shade (Wet n Wild Private Viewing).

Dark Knight: With this color spectrum, don’t even think about skipping a topcoat! Without a fresh-looking, glossy finish, dark colors can look blah and dead. Manicurist fave: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, $4, Sally Beauty. For pinkish skin, choose a bluish berry shade, such as Zoya Vanessa. A true burgundy is ideal on warmer complexions (RGB Crimson).

NAIL TIPS

• Skip the Soak. Soapy water may feel nice, but it actually absorbs into the nail and can undermine a mani by changing the nail’s shape. Later, when the water evaporates, the shape changes back. This stresses the polish, making it prone to chipping.

• Dry Out. Undetectable oils on your nail beds can keep the basecoat from sticking well. Avoid polish removers with conditioners such as vitamin E oil or lanolin, and stick with acetone polish or isopropyl alcohol. (Try Cutex Regular Nail Polish Remover Pads.)

• Don’t Multitask. A two-in-one topcoat and basecoat may seem like a good idea, but separate products yield better results. And really, don’t we have enough multitasking already?

• Nails on the Rocks. Dip your freshly polished fingers into a bowl of ice water to speed up drying time of both the surface and underlying layers of polish for as long as you can tolerate it; repeat three times.

• You Top It. Apply an extra layer of topcoat four hours after getting a manicure. One is never enough. Swipe on another layer no less than twice a week.

• Fake It. When chips happen, dab a finger in polish remover and smooth it over the area to blur the edges. Dot a bit of polish onto the spot, then apply topcoat over the entire nail.

Top Fall Trends

Fall’s colors flatter the full spectrum of skin tones.

Metallic Olive. When Chanel unveiled its newest polish, Peridot, there were audible gasps. With tones like gold, green and even blue, the sheen is like a beetle shell, yet is surprisingly neutral and easy to wear.

Navy. For this look, keep nails short with gently rounded edges. If blue nails are too long, square or chipped, they begin to look witchy.

Sparkly Gunmetal. Fall’s best gray shades are loaded with shimmer (Try Orly Nail Laquer in Seagurl.) But darker shades can make dry skin look drier, so be sure to moisturize and use cuticle oil daily.

Blackberry. This season, black polish gives way to something riper and juicier. It’s twotone—as if you’re getting both black and berry all in one. continued on page 42

5

things to do while nails dry

1. Go, go gadget. E-readers such as the Kindle or Nook allow you to read with minimal smudge risk. For email, iPad is easier to maneuver than a tiny smartphone keyboard.

2. Be Smart. Put down that In Touch Weekly; longer articles in The New Yorker or San Francisco Chronicle mean fewer page turns.

3. Listen. Queue up a podcast before you get painted so all you have to do is tap “play.” Try “Stuff You Missed in History Class” for cool factoids.

4. Meditate. Sit up straight, close your eyes and focus on your breath. May sound corny, but how often do you have moments of silence throughout the day?

5. Tone Up. There’s not a better time to practice all those moves you saw on ExerciseTV On Demand.

HAMMING IT UP T he M ount S hasta A mateur R adio C lub

The Spring Hill Fire started on a Saturday morning, just north of the city of Mount Shasta. Crews assessed the blaze as small and controllable. By Sunday, the fire raged and the city was in danger, and in 1950, local fire engines and crews did not have radios to coordinate their efforts. The flames moved like a rapid wave toward the north end of town. The three-year-old Mount Shasta Amateur Radio Club was hosting a regional meeting, The Hamfest, at the Mount Shasta City Park.

Word came of the imminent destruction of the town. The fire chief called for the evacuation of the park. The Hamfest, at the leading edge of the fire, disbanded and moved to City Hall, setting up a command center and sending members out with mobile radios with fire crews, enabling them to plan a multiple assault on the fire and save the community. The radios gave firefighters the advantage; by nightfall the disaster was averted, and the ham enthusiasts returned to the park and their meeting.

Ham radio combines fun and emergency services in times of need.

Also known as amateur radio, operators possess a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles. They obtain a license through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate radios in the “amateur bands,” frequencies above AM broadcast to high microwave frequencies.

The third Wednesday of every month, 15 operators meet at the Mount Shasta Club. “We are an innovative bunch. People come and show what they have made, sharing techie stuff at the club,” says Atara Melo. Members range from newbies to seasoned operators. “My father was a radio operator in World War II. I continued the family tradition as a radio operator in the Army,” Melo says.

The group fosters the interest and fun of ham radio and provides emergency services to south Siskiyou County. The club supplies communication for the Mount Shasta Fourth of July Celebration, the Mount Shasta Summit Century Bicycle Race and the Mount Shasta Tinman Triathlon. The only requirement for membership is an interest in amateur radio.

Ham radio gives the opportunity to communicate with other operators around the globe, as well as with astronauts on space missions. Competitive events and contests keep the members sharp.

“Field Day is a national event where operators set up emergency gear in the field and see how many contacts they can make in 24 hours,” Melo says. “Other members like more individual challenges.

One person here has traveled to Australia to make radio contacts.

Another regularly goes backpacking, taking a radio and seeing who he can communicate with.”

There are more than 2,000 amateur radio clubs in the United States. With the flood of cell phones, some question the practicality of ham radios. “Our radios work when cell phones won’t,” says Melo.

“In the movie Jurassic Park 2, a cell phone user makes a single phone call and it’s answered by a small child who is unable to help. If the device had been a ham radio, he would have been talking to hundreds of people and been saved. However, there wouldn’t have been a movie then.”

The FCC organizes amateur radio into a service. These hobbyists become a resource pool of experts providing backup in emergencies where other forms of communication are ineffective. Ham radio operators have been found invaluable in hurricanes, fires, and severe snowstorms due to the technology’s ability to function in extreme conditions when other services are down.

Everything needed for licensing is available on the Internet. “For about $100, anyone can begin with a radio and antennae,” says Melo.

“Then just come to one of our meetings and sign up.”

In gratitude for helping save the town, the city of Mount Shasta donated a small building from the City Park to the Club. It was moved to city property at 329 North Washington Drive and for more than 50 years has served as its meeting place.

“We are a tight-knit group,” Melo says. “We volunteer our time and equipment to the community. But most important, we support each other.” • Mount Shasta Amateur Radio Club www.w6bml.com Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt.

fifteen minutes with soccer star megan rapinoe NAME: Megan Rapinoe PERSONAL: I come from a very big family. I am the youngest (although I am a fraternal twin) of six kids. I grew up in Redding, where my family still lives. I graduated from Foothill High School in 2004 and from the University of Portland in 2008. I’m on the U.S. soccer team that competed in the finals of the Women’s World Cup this summer.

WHAT IS YOUR TRAINING SCHEDULE LIKE? It depends on the time of year, but when we are in the thick of our training, we usually train for about an hour and a half, one or two times per day, with weight sessions two or three times per week.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE? I think one of the greatest challenges of being an athlete is keeping your body performing at a high level. It is a delicate balance of training, rest and recovery. We are always trying to find the perfect balance of pushing ourselves to the limit without tearing our bodies down.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR GREATEST REWARD? My greatest reward was having my family with me in Germany, and having my family back home watching me in Germany while I lived my dream. For me, making my family proud is something that brings me to tears. They mean the world to me, and to have them there while I reached the pinnacle of my passion was incredible.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? “Just Kids” by Patti Smith.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? “Shawshank Redemption” I AM an easygoing person who loves to laugh.

WHO WOULD YOU LOVE TO MEET? Ellen DeGeneres HOBBIES: I love to play guitar, travel, go to the beach, have good coffee, hang out with friends. I just like to relax, if that’s a hobby!

NAME ONE THING THAT’S ON YOUR BUCKET LIST: Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef.

SINCE YOU’VE BEEN BACK IN TOWN, YOU’VE MADE LOTS OF VISITS TO SCHOOLS, SOCCER TEAMS, ETC. WHY DO YOU FEEL IT’S IMPORTANT TO DO THIS? I really do believe that it makes a difference in these kids, even if just from a soccer perspective. I came from this little town, and two months ago I started in the finals of the Women’s World Cup, the biggest stage for a footballer. And this is special to kids that play soccer. Hopefully I can give them some insight into how I was able to be successful, and to let them know that there are many opportunities to get into college and to be successful in soccer.

LOTS OF LITTLE GIRLS WANT TO BE MEGAN RAPINOE WHEN THEY GROW UP. WHO WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD HERO? Well, Michael Jordan was actually my hero when I was little. It was not until I was a little bit older that I started to have female role models. I always loved Tiffany Milbrett from the U.S. Women’s National Team.

WHAT’S THE BEST PART OF BEING FAMOUS? Well, I would not say that I am famous at all, but there do come certain perks with some people knowing who you are. Sometimes I can score some free sports tickets! And if I am really lucky, Jack’s Grill lets me request my favorite waitress when I eat there (my mom, Denise).

That is rare, though!

WHEN YOU’RE AWAY FROM SHASTA COUNTY, WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST (BESIDES YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS)? I miss hanging out at the lake all day, and then heading in to Jack’s for dinner.

YOU’VE HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE TO TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD. IS JACK’S GRILL REALLY THE BEST STEAKHOUSE ON THE PLANET? I am quite picky about my steak, and I have had some really good ones, but there is nothing like Jack’s. No atmosphere can contend with that place, and the food is the best.

WHAT IS YOUR VERY FAVORITE MEMORY OF GROWING UP HERE? Playing at the church soccer fields across the street from our old house in Palo Cedro with my twin sister Rachael.

PROUDEST MOMENT: World Cup final.

greatadventure F regoso O utdoor F oundation

Max and Kelly Fregoso might be considered dream builders. A successful construction business in El Dorado Hills testifies to their business skills. More than a year ago, they decided to share their blessings and launched the Fregoso Outdoor Foundation to provide outdoor adventures for American military heroes, especially wounded soldiers, and their families. Max, an army veteran, and Kelly grew up in Red Bluff enjoying the best of the North State: hunting and fishing, horseback riding, water sports and winter sports. Along with their two daughters, they now offer opportunities to those who have sacrificed so much to renew their hope and create new dreams.

On a recent adventure, Max and his brother Randy spent two days with four veterans at Red Bank Outfitters in Red Bluff. After an evening of target practice and a spectacular 50 Enjoy November 2011

dinner of man-sized rib-eye steaks, they slept comfortably in the rustic lodge. By 5 am, the group headed into the field for dove hunting.

Michael Jennings, a Navy veteran who served six years, beamed in the retelling of his successful morning: Seven doves his first time out.

In its first year, the Fregoso Outdoor Foundation has taken 18 veterans and four military families on outdoor adventures, exploring everything from pig hunts to waterskiing. Their vision: “To support soldiers, veterans and military families in coping with combat, deployment and adjusting to coming home.� Their walk with the Lord and love of the Great Outdoors has provided them with the passion. Though the Fregosos want to honor every soldier and every military family, their primary focus is on wounded warriors.

Brett Miller, a National Guard veteran

The FregosoS, who continually focus the spotlight on the veterans, hope the foundation will grow in several ways: They need more partners.

Angel Flight West provides free transportation for veterans.

The Wounded Warriors Project nominates veterans for outings.

Businesses like Red Bank Outfitters owners Brian and Shellie Riley donate a portion of their services to help make trips possible.

They need more financial donations.

Their first fundraising event in May brought in $50,000. As they grow and offer more trips, they will need more financial resources, as guests are treated to everything at no cost. Each veteran is provided with necessary equipment, much of it given as gifts after the trip.

And they need volunteers.

Folks who love the outdoors and would like to lead a group, provide access to private hunting or fishing venues, or host a family outing.

whose story of resilience and recovery was documented on CNN

by Anderson Cooper, joined the others for a return experience with the foundation. They talked together as only comrades in arms can fully understand. Mark Vomacka, who served in Fallujah, Iraq, with the Marine Corps, took some coaxing to open up about the healing power of the outdoors. When asked about the use of weapons and sounds of rifle fire, Vomacka expressed that for the first time, he could hold a weapon without feeling like someone might shoot back. The sense of peace and safety echoed throughout the conversations.

“The boys are bringing their reality to us and it is shocking. It gives us an appreciation for what they have done.”

Steve Ayers, a board member of Fregoso Outdoor Foundation, went along for the adventure. He is also Vomacka and Jennings’ employer and the one who helped them connect with Fregoso. Jennings’ wife was touched that someone wanted to do something very personal to honor his service to the country. Miller echoed that he appreciates what Max and the Red Bank guides were doing for them, working for them to succeed in the hunt, as well as in life.

Marian Anthony, another veteran along for the hunt, served in the Marine Corps for eight years and now writes for various Marine Corps publications as a civilian. Though he never saw combat, he trained young men who went to Afghanistan. Early this year, he went to Afghanistan as a journalist to find some of his trainees deployed in the field. An outspoken advocate for returning veterans, Anthony commented that time in nature is an organic alternative to drug use, a common antidote for depression and post-traumatic stress. “Getting away with like-minded people offers a time of shared decompression,” he says. “It’s a wonderful thing to have people offer the experience to work out their problems within themselves… nature offers an environment to let go of fears.”

The Fregoso Outdoor Foundation doesn’t forget its friends, either. Fregoso says they keep in close touch with every veteran who participates in their outdoor adventures. They offer financial counseling and support in whatever way the men and women and their families need. • www.fregosooutdoorfoundation.org

r a i lroad avenue redding central model railroad club It’s a scene straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting: a little kid walks into the living room on Christmas morning to find a model railroad merrily chugging around the tree.

Members of the Redding Central Model Railroad Club cherish that scene. In fact, many of them say that type of experience sparked a lifelong interest in model railroading. Now, they’re working to ensure future generations have the same opportunity to climb aboard.

“I want to promote the hobby. I would like to see the next generation get into this,” says Ross Graham, 65, a sixyear member of the club who has been involved in model railroading for 45 years.

Curtis Davis, the club president, picked up the hobby

a couple years ago when his son turned 8. “I got my grandfather’s Lionel stuff out and my son and I started messing around with that. I had a lot of questions. I found out the club was there, so I joined to get some different options and ideas.”

The club’s headquarters, located appropriately enough on Railroad Avenue, is divided between a retail store stocked with locomotives, railcars, track and all the related paraphernalia and a large room housing a 30x40foot model train layout.

When he joined, the store was privately owned and in rather sad shape. Davis and others set about reorganizing the club and establishing it as a nonprofit organization, and in the process the club took over ownership of the store. continued on page 54

November 2011 Enjoy 53

With the store back in shape, the dozen club members began work on their venerable layout. “They put me in as president because I had done a lot of work on the layout,” Davis says. “I’ve been doing a lot of rewiring and revamping everything. The layout itself has been there 20-plus years.”

A miniature world of its own, the multiple-track layout can accommodate as many as five trains that visit tiny towns, wind their way through forested mountains, chug through numerous tunnels and stop at a rail yard to pick up and drop off cars and locomotives.

One of the club goals is to return to open-house Saturdays where members of the public can pop in, watch trains run, learn more about the club and possibly pick up some trains and track for their own layouts. “We’d also like to set up Saturdays for kids to come in and build their own box cars, put them on the layout and see them run,” Curtis says.

Curtis hopes his own son will pick up the model railroad bug. “He really likes video games and TV. I’m trying to get him interested in more hands-on types of things.”

Graham got started as a kid. “I had a 5x9-foot Lionel layout my dad built for me. That’s what started it all and it’s been downhill ever since,” Graham says, laughing. “One of the neighbor kids wanted to build an HO layout and I had a room… it was great. We had a lot of fun.”

Graham says he didn’t begin collecting trains until he got out of the Navy in the 1970s.

The hobby has made significant strides in the last 40 years, and perhaps the most significant has been the advent of microchip processors. The technology, known as Digital Command Control, has opened up a new world of sound effects, programming and control. continued on page 56 54 Enjoy November 2011

Operators can download the authentic bell and horn sounds for a specific model of locomotive or they can record their own and program the pitch-perfect notes into their trains.

“You can make a locomotive do everything a real locomotive can do: apply air brakes, the volume of the bell and horn, the speed. The hobby has come a long way from the ’60s. The difference is night and day,” Graham says.

The inner workings of trains are just one facet of the hobby, says Pete Laythe, a retired Marine drill instructor who has been involved with model railroading for 40 years. “Half of it is building stuff, including the scenery and buildings.”

He says hobbyists go to great lengths to ensure every detail is appropriate for a layout’s particular era. “Some modelers are fanatics for detail. They will count the rivets on something and if they’re one off, they won’t buy it.”

“I enjoy the construction part—the building, the wiring, the functionality of it, making everything work the way it’s supposed to,” 56 Enjoy November 2011

says Davis. “It’s just like a real railroad: if you don’t do it right you’re going to have trains running off the tracks.”

A lot of club members cite the social aspect of model railroading.

“I enjoy the camaraderie most of all,” says Graham. “I’ve met some really great people all over the country.” • For more info: Redding Model Trains (store) 2354 Railroad Ave., Redding • (530) 243-1360

bruce turgon and after hours recorders studio The bass guitar provides the foundation for a song, and, in many ways, a band.

Those who have come to know Bruce Turgon are not surprised to learn he’s a bass player extraordinaire. And he seems to have applied the fundamentals of the instrument to other areas of his life and career.

In just over five years in the North State, the Rochester, N.Y., native has established his After Hours Recorders Studio in south Redding as a trusted headquarters for an array of musical projects, including rock, metal, country, folk, bluegrass, singer/songwriter, new age, contemporary Christian, spoken word and more. He’s also worked on soundtracks for television and film, contributing to shows that have appeared on HBO, Showtime, PBS and Warren Miller Films.

“I remember very well the struggle bands and artists go through during the recording process,” Turgon says.

“It can be a difficult transition from the energy of live performance to a more sterile recording environment. But I try to have an awareness for each player and create an environment where everyone can feel empowered to do their best work.”

Turgon appreciates the process of supporting and collaborating with artists. He’s been doing it for most of his life.

He teamed with his lifelong friend Lou Gramm to cowrite and record Gramm’s 1987 solo debut album “Ready or Not,” which yielded the No. 1 rock hit “Midnight Blue.”

He also co-wrote the song “My Way” with Paul Stanley and Desmond Child on the platinum KISS album “Crazy Nights,” and contributed to Gramm’s tune “Lost in the Shadows” for the soundtrack to the 1987 film “The Lost Boys.”

Turgon and Gramm’s collaborations extend back to the early 1970s when they rocked together in the Rochesterbased band Black Sheep. The band built a steady regional following and was eventually signed to Capitol Records.

In 1992, Turgon was hired to play bass in Foreigner, joining Gramm in the iconic British-American rock continued on page 62

band, which produced mega hits throughout the 1970s and ’80s and sold more than 70 million albums worldwide. He toured with the group for a decade and co-wrote several songs on Foreigner’s 1995 album “Mr. Moonlight.”

“Lou (Gramm) is a major talent and our collaborations remain among my favorite musical endeavors,” Turgon says. “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers and our story of humble beginnings to the world stage is a source of great joy and accomplishment for me.” “(In Foreigner) we went around the world a couple of times and were quite used to ruling the stage, regardless of who we were playing with. The most fun was knowing that every time we took the stage, the band and crew were so on their game that the show’s outcome was inevitable and it was always very good.”

One might speculate that the transition from globe-trotting rock star to studio engineer/producer in the sleepy far reaches of Northern California might be comparable to trading in a Formula One racing car for a Ford Taurus. However, Turgon doesn’t see it that way.

For one thing, he remains active as an artist (he released a solo album, “Outside Looking In” in 2005, and collaborated on the rock project Places of Power, which released the album “Now is the Hour” in 2009). For another, Turgon, who also plays guitar and keyboards, truly delights in helping musicians achieve their goals in the studio.

“It’s intriguing how much talent and good and different approaches to music there are,” he says. “For me, there’s a great deal of joy associated with helping artists of whatever genre and level of expertise realize their vision. And as a musician, I enjoy coming in contact with different musical approaches. When the artist is passionate about their project, I 62 Enjoy November 2011

tend to live the recording of it with them.”

Aware of his background, many artists ask Turgon to contribute creatively to their projects. It often blurs the traditional lines of recording engineer and makes Turgon more of a co-collaborator.

However, the artist always dictates the level of involvement he or she wants from Turgon.

“He’ll offer suggestions or ideas if you ask for them, but it’s always about what you want,” says Joe Steele, who recently completed his debut solo album with Turgon. “It’s a super comfortable environment and he’s got that vibe where it’s not stressful. If you get on a roll, he’s willing to work late into the night with you.”

The name After Hours Recorders is not an exaggeration. Sessions often extend past midnight and Turgon might work on his own creations into the early morning hours.

He moved to the North State to be close to family, and he loves the area because it facilitates one of his other great passions – trail running.

“I reached a point where I no longer wanted such a frantic travel schedule and opted for an environment more in line with my current interests and lifestyle,” he says. “I have family in Redding and likely would have moved here years ago as I love the surrounding country.

But it can be a tough place to get out of for a touring musician.” • www.afterhoursrecorders.com

northern free trappers

F undraiser

The Northern Free Trappers and Muzzle Loaders Club of Northern California have spent the past 16 years shooting for a smile.

This year will be no different. What started in 1995 as a benefit for a club member losing a battle with leukemia has become a yearly fundraiser.

Club member Daryl Burbank, who died of leukemia that year, donated many of his belongings to the Northern Free Trappers for a large yard sale to add some funds to the club treasury. As majority vote would have it, a benefit fundraiser was started for young people with cancer in Shasta and Tehama counties. Since its humble beginning, the club has donated $68,000 through the Annual Daryl Burbank Memorial Turkey Shoot, held every November at Paul Walther’s ranch in Cottonwood.

The 17th annual event on Nov. 5 will benefit Erika Nogle of Redding, a 3-year-old fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She and her mother will travel to UC Davis Medical Center every two weeks for treatment for the next two years. Erika was chosen by a committee of club members from a list of nominated candidates.

Event attendees can shoot at a 20-target black powder shooting range, play Hawk and Knife Poker, and participate in the Long Gong, stake shooting events and fire-starting contests using flint and steel.

The fundraiser is geared for young and old. A tri-tip and potluck dinner is also offered that evening for $5. The Mid-South Shooters Supply Company donates many large items each year that are used as auction items, and local merchants also donate to the raffle.

Use of the venue is donated by Paul Walther each year.

“The people who benefit from the Memorial Turkey Shoots are taken aback by what they are given and the community pride that is put into the event. Each year approximately 400 people come out for the event,” says longtime club member John Hinote, also known as “Tall Tales.”

Members of the Northern Free Trappers enjoy the many volunteer hours they put into their events, but they say seeing a smile from a child and their family members is worth all the time and effort. All shooting and knife throwing events are supervised by adults in the club. People who show up are given mountain names that fit their individual personalities. • 17th Annual Daryl Burbank Memorial Turkey Shoot November 5 • Paul Walther’s ranch in Cottonwood Call (530) 347-3212 Tracye Dethero is a life long resident of Shasta County, enjoys rodeo and lives in Cottonwood with her family.

andy pierce ’ s bicycle - powered water pump Turn on the faucet, and water comes out.

Americans rarely think twice about this simple concept as they wash their hands, brush their teeth, scrub the dishes, throw in a load of laundry, water the garden.

On the other side of the world, however, mothers in a Ugandan village were delivering babies in a center where healthcare providers washed their hands in buckets of rainwater. The birthing center had a plumbing system and sinks, but no way to get water to that system.

A Redding missionary has solved this problem using a bicyclepowered pump that he built from a swimming pool pump and a simple frame. “Now there’s running water in the health center,” says Andy Pierce.

“There are no energy costs involved. You just pedal,” Pierce says.

“That’s huge for someone who makes $1 a day. Ten cents in electricity is one-tenth of their income.”

The idea was sparked last year, when he was helping to build a girls’ dormitory in a Haitian orphanage. They were challenged by the need to pump rainwater up to the attic.

“I was reading (Isaiah 32:8), ‘The noble man devises noble plans, and by noble plans he stands.’ The only plan I could think of to devise was this water deal,” Pierce says.

He spent a day on the Internet and saw the idea for a bicyclepowered water pump. He took the housing off a standard pool pump, attached it to a simple frame and affixed the bicycle. He recently returned from installing it in the Ugandan birthing center.

“A swimming pool pump is a very random thing in your backyard in Redding, but it’s meeting a very real need in Uganda,” Pierce says.

“They were intrigued and impressed. They loved how simple it was – they could see the technology, and there was almost nothing to break down.” continued on page 72

November 2011 Enjoy 71

“ I was reading (Isaiah 32:8), ‘The noble man devises noble plans, and by noble plans he stands.’ The only plan I could think of to devise was this water deal,” Pierce says.

For future models, people will be able to ride up on their own bikes or motorcycles and start pumping, he says. “You can pump 30-40 gallons per minute with a bike, which is a lot, but you can do 75-plus with a motorcycle, which is huge,” he says.

Today, Pierce is trying to figure out a way to secure funding to create a small business. He’s not developing the product for the marketplace, as the people who need the product can’t purchase it.

But he knows there’s a need, and if the pumps can be assembled in the countries where they’ll be used, it also creates jobs. “It costs about $30 in parts to convert a pump. If they can do the welding over there, it’s cost effective,” says Pierce, a plumbing contractor.

For now, Pierce has been able to collect the used pumps (Guiton’s Pools has been donating them to the cause), then convert them and ship them to “boots-on-the-ground” organizations overseas. But this involves maneuvering through customs, international tolls and the like. “I’m a very simple man … I’d rather work with people who know how to play those games,” Pierce says.

“My wife Patty and I feel called to do this,” Pierce says. “It’s a little scary, because it hasn’t been the best business environment in the past few years, and I don’t have a lot of money to throw at it. But we have more than the people we’re helping. The further I go, the more I believe in it. And with the economy like it is, if we’re broke, we might as well be heading in the direction we want to go.”

He considers his wife of 24 years to be “the true missionary … the one giving the true sacrifice.”

72 Enjoy November 2011

The Pierces moved to Redding six years ago from Livermore with their four children: Megan, 17; Hannah, 16; Matt, 13; and Nick, 12.

Pierce has been going on missions trips for about 16 years, starting with building an orphanage in Romania. He joined up with Caminul Felix, an organization that provides homes for Romanian couples who are willing to adopt 16 orphans. He was part of a 26-person team from Livermore that helped build a 4,500-square-foot, eightbedroom, five-bathroom home for one such family. “It was a concrete slab when we got there, and 10½ days later the beds were made,” he said. Since then, he has helped build two more homes and remodeled another, along with building an apartment complex for orphans transitioning into adulthood.

And although the girls’ orphanage in Haiti still hasn’t received one of these pumps, it will soon, he vows.

“When you’re there, you feel like for such a time as this, I was born. You feel right.” • www.pumps4life.com

words into action the seventh annual authors fair in redding

Members of the public will have the opportunity to hear authors read selections from their published works during the seventh annual Authors Fair, set for November 12 at the Mt. Shasta Mall in Redding.

More than two dozen North State authors usually attend the fair, including those represented by both large and small publishers as well as those who self-publish, according to Writers Forum Board Member George Winship. Genres include children and young adult literature, mystery, travel, self-help/realization/guidance, craft, history, memoir, fiction and more.

This year, Winship says the fair hopes to include several cowboy poets as a tie-in with an author who writes about wild horses.

Additional entertainment in past years has included author interviews and short skits and scenes from Riverfront Playhouse productions.

The Authors Fair theme—“Words Into Action”—was selected because this year’s panel of featured authors has taken their passion for justice, the humane treatment of animals, counseling and personal awareness beyond the printed page, Winship says. Two of those featured are award-winning Shasta County authors Charlie Price and Linda Boyden.

Price, who has a long professional career working with teens, writes young adult fiction and has published four novels. He won the prestigious 2011 Edgar Award for his third book, The Interrogation of Gabriel James. His first book, Dead Connection, and his latest novel Desert Angel both received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Review. His books have been translated into other languages and are being distributed throughout Europe and Africa.

74 Enjoy November 2011

Boyden, an author and illustrator of children’s literature, has published three books. Her first title, The Blue Roses, won Lee & Low Books’ first New Voices Award; the 2003 Patterson Prize; and the 2003 Woodcraft Circle of Native Writers & Storytellers Book of the Year for Children’s Literature. Her third book, Giveaways: An ABC Book of Loanwords from the Americas, won the International Book Awards 2011 Finalist Award in three separate categories (Children’s Literature, Multicultural and Native Studies).

Both award-winning and emerging local authors will meet the public, answer questions and sign autographs. Winship says the Fair has been popular with holiday shoppers seeking just the right read for their book-loving family members and friends. He adds that anyone feeling inspired can enter a “First Sentence” contest to win a prize.

The Authors Fair is a premier event of the Writers Forum, a Shasta County nonprofit organization founded in 1983, dedicated to promoting writing as an art and profession and to support and inspire local writers. The event is sponsored in part by the Scripps-Howard Foundation and the Record Searchlight. • Authors Fair: 10 am to 4 pm November 12 Mt. Shasta Mall, Redding Exceptional Living

What’s Cookin’

By Lana Granfors

Chicken, Pear & Gorgonzola Pasta Seasonal fruits can be used for more than just pies or tarts. Juicy pears, with their exceptional aroma and textures, are being harvested now. Combining the aromatic Bosc pear with the wonderful flavor of gorgonzola cheese and grilled chicken resulted in this savory pasta dish.

Pairing this fruit with wine and cheese for an appetizer or dessert are other options for the different varieties of pears. Each pear variety has its own distinct texture and flavor.

Whether you are creating a pasta dinner or a lovely tray of hors d’oeuvres, let this fall’s harvest of pears inspire you to venture beyond pies and tarts.

Chicken, Pear and Gorgonzola Pasta ingredients

2 T Olive Oil

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves ½ tsp salt ½ tsp white pepper

1 12 oz package dried spaghetti 2 – 4 soft-ripe Bosc pears (1 lb. total)

1 T fresh lemon juice

1 cup (5 oz.) crumbled gorgonzola or other blue-veined cheese ½ cup chopped Italian parsley ½ cup chicken broth ½ tsp cornstarch ²⁄³ cup roasted pecans ¼ cup chopped green onion Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

chicken, pear and gorgonzola pasta Total Prep / Cook Time: 40 min.

Serves: 4

PREPARATION Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub chicken breasts with salt and white pepper. Place chicken breasts in the hot skillet, and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear. Set aside and slice breasts crosswise, ½ inch thick just before combining with pasta. ▶Using a 5-6-quart pan, cook spaghetti according to package directions or just until barely tender to bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

BILLY & PATRICK’S TOP 10 PICK Billy: Several years ago, we were preparing for our Black Friday morning broadcast which we’ve been doing for many years. After Patrick left for the shopping centers and I was getting ready to go, I discovered that I locked myself out of the building - my keys were inside.

I tried to break in but wasn’t able to. It was so dark and in trying to get back in, I sprained my wrist. I had no way to get in touch with Patrick. I walked over to the Tuxedo Den warehouse (which was next to our offices at the time) and used their phone to call Patrick’s wife, Jane. She was able to contact Patrick, who drove all the way back to the office and let me in. The show started about 20 minutes late and my wrist was swollen for about 6 months.

PATRICK: We decided long ago to spend Black Friday LIVE on the air having fun with shoppers who spend the night in line or get up really early to get those bargains.

I’ve seen people spend like mad, purchasing and carting out 6 big screen TVs and 4 DVD players at a time. I’ve witnessed numerous catfights (normally over cutting in line), and dodged the crush of people, carts and security staff when the front doors finally opened.

It’s always fun, and I’ve met people from around the world who are visiting friends and family and want to see what Black Friday shopping is all about. I’m always asked if I actually shop when working on Black Friday...I never have... but there’s a first for everything. See you November 25th!

HOLIDAY SHOPPING ADVENTURES

Several years ago I had a boyfriend with a very large family. The Wednesday before Black Friday, the family would get together and go through all the advertisements. His mom would make a plan and assign everyone places to go, the times to be there and what we needed to buy. We got up at two in the morning on Friday to start the process. Each of us had our board in hand and would be sent off to get all the things on the list. It was insane, but we got some incredible deals and saved so much money. She was so organized!

I haven’t been up early to shop on Black Friday for a long time but that memory will stay with me. ~ Erica

My story happened on Christmas Eve at Macy’s. Someone plugged the toilet and it over-flowed down the escalator, coming out the 1st floor water fountains and running down the hallway towards the merchandise!

Now that was harrowing AND gross. We had the city, fire department and RPD there all at the same time as the shoppers were finishing up their last minute shopping! ~ Linda

Remember the Cabbage Patch craze in the 80s? My daughter wanted one so bad. She didn’t get one for Christmas that year and I’ll never get those three hours of my life back. ~ Carla I worked in the merchandising department at a Best Buy store in 2005 and on Black Friday, I had to be there at 3 AM. When I got to work that morning I was blown away by the amount of people already there waiting for the store to open at 5 AM. We had 2 hours to change all the signage in the store for the special deals. There were also some deals that were only good for the first 100 people. We had a balloon bouquet that we had to hold at end of the register line that mazed through the entire store. It was kind of exciting, but also the longest day of my life. Gotta love retail. ~ Lynn

Black Friday, a household “event” that started for me 16 years ago. As I experienced my first early morning excursion into the madness, it didn’t take long to realize that doing this alone was a big mistake. The savings were immense but how could I possibly make it to each store by the timeline given? There had to be a better and more strategic way. The next year I recruited my mom and grandmother. What a difference, more savings in less time. Each year after I continued to invite my mom along with my sisters (I have 4) and a few friends. A tradition was forming. It was no longer as much about the savings as it was about the excitement of being with my family and friends. Thanksgiving would come, we would call to remind each other to bring ads and then after dinner we would strategically map out our plan of action for Black Friday.

We would spend hours going over each stores ad and what it had to offer. We planned our wake up time, where to meet, who was riding with whom and which cars we would take (the bigger the better). Walkie talkies ( pre-cell phone era) in one hand and Coffee in the other, we were off. Laughing, joking and enjoying each other’s company for hours on end. We created memories that will last a life time. To this day, we continue our tradition and are thankful for the amazing gift God has given us, each other! ~ Stephanie

name the bianchi family

occupation bianchi orchards

WHAT’S IN STORE bianchi orchards Nearly 40 years ago, high school teachers Annie and Ray Bianchi bought a 20-acre orchard in Dairyville. Their five children grew up shaking limbs, picking nuts and playing in the orchards, and when the kids graduated from high school, the Bianchis retired and Annie realized her dream of becoming a full-time orchardist. Today, their walnut tasting and nut shop features premium Chandler walnuts, glazed walnuts, dried prunes, and gift boxes and baskets. You’ll find some of these tasty treats at Enjoy the Store.

It sounds like yours is truly a family business. Tell us about that, Annie.

We had started with 20 acres of prunes (my husband was an ag teacher), then we bought another 20 acres – you only get once in your lifetime to buy your neighbors.

Then we bought another 20 acres, and it all needed to be re-done. I’d contacted the kids and said, “Mom and Dad are ready to retire pretty soon. Is anyone interested in this whole farming aspect?” All five of them said yes in some way. Our daughter Becky has come back and developed the business side.

What is your philosophy?

Live by the three F’s: family, friends and fun.

What is the secret to growing great walnuts?

Number one, enjoy working. Make working fun, because it’s a lot of work. We are just blessed in so many ways. We have incredible soil – it’s a mixture of volcanic ash from Mount Tehama, which was before Mount Lassen, and alluvial soil from the Sacramento River. There are very few places in the world that have this combination of soil, and there’s a very small stretch in the Dairyville area.

90 Enjoy November 2011

Of course, then there’s the water – we have beautiful, crystal clear, non-contaminated water on our property.

Then there’s this beautiful, incredible weather. We have the coolness of winter, which the trees need to go into their dormant stage – you have to have 32 days of weather below 35 degrees for walnut trees to go dormant. Then there’s this beautiful sunshine. With the weather change this year, it’s been a little more challenging – we’ve had big jumps in temperatures, so when we have the coolness of 80 degrees then a heat wave of 105, we do organic sunscreen on our walnuts. You treat trees, like everything else, with respect and you meet their needs. If a walnut is young and gets sunburned, its skin can continue to burn and it eventually will destroy the nut inside the husk.

Sunscreen protects against that.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy walnuts?

I love my natural walnuts and our honey glaze walnuts with a little glass of trebbiano (white wine), or cinnamon glaze walnuts with tempranillo (red wine).

What is the Walnut Club?

We deliver delicious walnuts to you at wholesale prices.

We can do it every three months, four times a year or twice a year, either three pounds or five pounds. Members also get a discount on anything else we have in the store, which are all local products.

What does the future hold for Bianchi Orchards?

We’re expanding this fall. We have a second home on the property to the south of our house with a very large family room, and we’re going to make that into our nut shop and wine tasting room. Next year we’ll also have a new orchard – we put new trees in three years ago, so next year we’ll get a little crop off those 40 acres.

Where do you sell your products?

At Enjoy the Store, in our shop, at House of Design in Red Bluff, and our natural walnuts are carried at Nu-Way Market in Los Molinos.

Walnut tasting and nut shop: 10245 61st Ave., Los Molinos; open 9 am to 5:30 pm daily until Christmas; www.bianchiorchards.com •

sew crafty crafty ladies of senior citi z ens of shasta county

Knitting needles are flying and crochet hooks are gyrating at the weekly gathering of the Crafty Ladies of Senior Citizens of Shasta County. There’s also plenty of conversation going on around the group’s tables at the hall on Benton Drive in Redding.

While the club’s 40 members can do any project they choose, many diligently make items to give to others. Among their many projects are soft hats for premature babies, receiving blankets, lap quilts and slippers for seniors in convalescent homes and treatment centers, blankets with stuffed animal pockets for traumatized children and helmet liners for National Guard soldiers. They’ve donated items to Shasta County Women’s Refuge, Shasta County Children’s Services, Veterans Home of California and the American Red Cross.

They do it all with donated yarn and fabric, and they are always accepting donations.

“Our donations are guided by what we receive,” says Mary Seberger of Redding. “Seniors are all living on a set income. We couldn’t afford to do this without the donations.”

“The ladies use whatever they want and then we give it (what they make) away,” says Treva Gebhart, the group’s chairperson. “It just makes us feel good, and they love knitting and crocheting.”

Gebhart’s forte is sewing, something she’s been doing since high school. As fabric donations (including sheets) arrive, Gebhart takes them home, launders and folds them, and then labels them according to size. Sometimes she cuts quilt-sized pieces for others to sew. Then she hauls it all back to the Senior Citizens Hall for the women to use.

These talented women don’t limit their crafty ways to weekly meetings, however. Gebhart estimates that she spends more than 20 hours each week sewing quilts at home. And in Seberger’s home, her current project is always on the table by her favorite chair, waiting to be worked on as she watches television in the evening.

Seberger shows off dozens of the tiny hats – in combinations of pink, blue, purple, beige and more – that she and others have made for infants in Mercy Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. When Seberger joined the Crafty Ladies, she was immediately interested in learning to make them.

“They intrigued me,” she says. “They are fast and easy, and you can get a little creative with colors.”

Seberger gets creative with lots of other projects, as well. She sews flannel crib sheets and receiving blankets, which go home with the babies when they’re released from the hospital.

When she gets a big batch of items, she takes them into the hospital. “I know they are appreciated so much,” she says.

One recent project began when a Weaverville woman visited the Crafty Ladies and asked if they’d be willing to make helmet liners for members of area National Guard Unit to take with them to Afghanistan when they ship out in January. She provided the special green and black wool yarn and the Crafty Ladies went to work.

“They were a little tricky,” Seberger says. “They were not a beginners’ project. They’re pretty clever. They can be pulled up to the nose and still cover the neck.”

“It took us six months to make 41 of them, and they turned out really nice,” Gebhart says. “Evidently, it gets really, really cold in Afghanistan.”

Back at the Senior Citizens Hall, Judy Roderick and her mother Sue Borchardt, both of Redding, worked away on their projects – Roderick crocheting a baby blanket and her mom, a doily, both to be donated for the Crafty Ladies’ Nov. 4 sale, set for 10 am to 3 pm.

The group donates money to the Senior Citizens organization and to other North State causes.

“It helps me, the club and whoever gets this,” Roderick says.

Sharon Shearer of Redding is another who donates her knitted items to the Crafty Ladies, in addition to creating blankets for dialysis patients and sweaters for students.

“I always have a project going. It’s R and R for me,” she says. “This is also my social time. There are a lot of neat ladies down here, and we have a lot of fun.” • Betty Lease has been a freelance writer since retiring from the Record Searchlight in 2006.
