I had been living on my own,

below the poverty line, since the age of fourteen. I was born and raised in the North State, graduated from Yreka High School and always knew that I wanted to be an attorney.

None of my family had ever attended college but my Grandmother assured me that getting an education was essential to achieving independence and overcoming poverty. I wanted a different life for my own children so, I began my college education at Shasta College.

While attending Shasta College I worked full-time at Sears. I didn’t have a car so I got rides or relied on RABA to get to school and work. I graduated from Shasta College with an A.A. in General Education and continued on to CSU, Chico graduating with a B.A. in Political Science. I attended night law school while still working for Sears full time and graduated with my Doctorate of Jurisprudence in 1997. I practiced law for 17 years and was just appointed a Shasta County Superior Court Judge in June.

Judge Tamara Wood Shasta College Knight, 1987-1989 B.A. CSU, Chico Political Science Doctorate of Jurisprudence Shasta County Superior Court Commissioner, 2014 Shasta County Superior Court Judge, 2016

My education enabled me to provide a very different lifestyle for my family.

Today I spend a lot of time talking to at-risk youth telling them that I too came from a family plagued by poverty, mental illness and addiction. But, you have the ability to re-write your future. I often repeat the words my grandmother told me, that getting an education is the key to being able to make meaningful changes in your life.

Shasta College was the start of a new life for me.

YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

Ten years: What a milestone for Enjoy Magazine! This publication was started with a hope and a prayer by a group of creatives, and a decade later, it continues to exceed our wildest dreams.

Since that first magazine hit the racks in October 2006, we have continued to grow and thrive. We launched Enjoy the Store (which celebrates its sixth birthday this month), and a few years later, we established its sister store in Red Bluff. We founded Enjoy Movies in the Park, which has become a Friday night staple for our community On the cover during the summer. What a thrill it is to see hundreds of people NICCO MAZZOTTA gathered under the stars to watch a film together on our inflatable

by Kara Stewart HAND LETTERING screen. And we continue to lend our unique ideas to our esteemed

by Lion and Lamb Co. business clients through Enjoy, Inc., the brains, heart and soul behind all of these endeavors.

And when great ideas are born, it’s a shame not to share them, right? That’s exactly what we did when we created Enjoy South Valley Living in Visalia, which celebrates two years this month.

It is a pure joy to share the stories of the fascinating people, places and events that make this such a vibrant place to live. Our deepest gratitude to our writers, photographers and designers for contributing their talents to these pages, our advertisers for making it possible to share this publication with you for free, and to you, our readers, for cheering us on. Here’s to many more years together – enjoy!

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KERRI REGAN

Editor’s note: This is the final installment in a series of stories about the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, one of 27 All American Roads in the United States, which connects Lassen Volcanic National Park with Crater Lake National Park.

Though it’s possible to travel the byway in one long adventure, we have shared it with you in five smaller pieces (from south to north). Each makes an easy weekend trip, and if you’re ambitious, you can squeeze it into a day.

conclud V O LC A N I C L E G A C Y S C E N I C B Y WAY PA R T F I V E

“In many ways, this is the most remarkable body of water in the world. There is no lake its equal in depth, no lake so blue, none surrounded by such precipitous walls.

Its whole setting is strange and unusual: it is a lake in a mountain-top, occupying the crater of a burnt-out volcano.” – Conservationist Aubrey Drury, 1917

YOU’VE CIRCUMNAVIGATED Lassen Park and its volcanic wonders, meandered through the Fall River valley, marveled at majestic Mt. Shasta from all sides and explored the wildlife reserves near Klamath.

And now that you’ve reached the end of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, you’ve earned your greatest reward: the wondrous Crater Lake National Park.4

Mount Mazama’s eruption about 7,700 years ago shot out 12 cubic miles of magma, shrinking the mountain from 12,000 feet to 7,100 feet tall in about 24 hours. (That’s enough to cover the entire state of Oregon with eight inches of ash.) After the mountain collapsed like a soufflé, it left behind an empty basin, called a caldera, which filled with 4.9 trillion gallons of rain and snow.

At its deepest point, Crater Lake is 1,943 feet deep – making it the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. It stretches 6.1 miles from east to west, and 4.7 miles north to south. The water is chilly – temperatures range from 32 to 66 degrees, and the bottom is 38 degrees year-round. Because it’s completely fed by precipitation, the water’s purity makes Crater Lake one of the clearest and bluest in the world.

Unlike 100-degree days on the beaches of Brandy Creek, you’ll find traces of snow even in the summertime at Crater Lake, which sits at 6,173 feet above sea level. The park gets about 500 inches of snow each year, so between October and May, it’s usually a snow-covered wilderness area (the information center is open year-round).

As you drive into the park, Rim Village is the first place you’ll find an overlook. This is also home to Crater Lake Lodge, the only lodging on the rim itself. Lodging and camping are also available in Mazama Village.

The Rim Village Visitor Center also offers a vista point, and it’s the starting line for hikes that lead to Discovery Point and to Garfield Peak. Don’t miss the quick walk to Sinnott Memorial, where a museum and ranger presentations are offered during the summer months. An array of panels are rich with educational information, and interpreters share engaging stories about the lake and its history.

The mountain and lake were considered to be a place of great power by the Klamath Indians, who lived in the area for thousands of years and watched the mountain collapse. Three gold prospectors came upon the lake and mountain in 1853, and it

was designated as a national park by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902.

North State residents who are accustomed to walking right up to a lakeshore and taking a swim may be surprised to discover that the only access to Crater Lake’s shoreline is via a steep trail to Cleetwood Cove.

But make no mistake, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this pristine lake. If you traverse the trail to Cleetwood Cove, you can enjoy a nearly two-hour ranger-narrated boat tour between late June and mid-September. Crater Lake Trolley offers a twohour tour through the park, complete with interpreters’ tales and stops to get out and explore.

You can also drive the 33 miles around the lake on Rim Drive during the summer, and picnic areas and vista points pepper the road.

The park also offers ranger-led afternoon hikes, sunset hikes, 45-minute evening programs and Junior Ranger activities. Casual dining is available at the Rim Village Café.

Bonus: If you have an America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass, you’ll get in free. The pass is $80 a year for anyone, $10 for a lifetime pass if you’re 62 and older and free to people with permanent disabilities or who have acquired 250 service hours with certain federal agencies. The pass covers entrance and standard amenity fees at national parks and national wildlife refuges (go to www.recreation.gov and search for “America the Beautiful pass”).

When you arrive home, don’t keep all those photos trapped on your phone – consider uploading them to your favorite photo site and building a coffee table book, so you can relive your journey any time the spirit of adventure moves you. • Kerri Regan grew up in the North State and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Francisco State University.

Champions for

Children POSITIVE ROLE MODELS MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR CASA KIDS THE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED on volunteers hoping to work with children through the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program are typical for people in the juvenile court system, including screenings, background checks and extensive training.

For Karen Schaefer, program manager for CASA in Shasta, Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties, there’s another requirement that stands above all others: “If you have a heart for children, this is the right program for you. That’s all you need to make a difference.”

A CASA volunteer agrees to stand up for an abused or neglected child in the foster care system. They give that child a stable, reasoned voice in what can often be a confusing and overwhelming courtroom environment and they advocate for his or her best interests.

Studies have shown that children benefit from knowing somebody is out there following them from placement to placement throughout the dependency court process.

Andreas Fuhrmann and Debbie Ryan don’t need studies to convince them that CASA volunteers benefit from the process, as well.

“They have witnessed so much,” says Ryan, a teacher who ended up spending five years with a trio of siblings. “If you can bring a little bit of joy into their life, it is so rewarding.”

“I have a great time with the child I work with and thoroughly enjoy showing him new things and experiences, which can be as simple as going to Turtle Bay, kayaking at Whiskeytown, signing him up for camp or exposing him to fly fishing,” says Fuhrmann, a photojournalist with the Redding Record Searchlight.

“Watching the kid smile as he rows a drift boat down the Sacramento River is priceless … it has been said that one positive role model can make a difference in a child’s life,” Fuhrmann says. “Who wouldn’t want to be that person?”

Fuhrmann, who is single, doesn’t have children of his own and sees his nieces and nephews once a year, so working closely with an 11-year-old boy (who is now 13) was a bit of an adjustment, he says. “Earning each other’s trust has been a highlight of the experience. Along with that, I’ve seen him gain confidence in himself over the years.”4

e kid, “ When you’re with th

it really is a mentorship role.”

When she was substitute teaching, Ryan says she routinely encountered children in foster care. “One day they’rein the classroom and the next day they would be gone,” she recalls. She read an article describing the foster care experience—“it said that when kids were moved from one foster parent to the next, the cops would give them a garbage bag and tell them to fill it with their stuff because they’re not coming back”—and the image haunted her.

The article mentioned the CASA program, so Ryan investigated further and became a member of the first training class when the Northern Valley Catholic Social Service launched the CASA program in Shasta County in 2010.

Ryan went through the structured 30-hour training program, which is typically spread over four Saturdays, went through a background investigation and was sworn in as an officer of the court.

Schaefer says the program asks its volunteers to commit to a year of advocacy or until that time when their child is placed in a permanent home (either through adoption or reunited with the biological parents).

CASA volunteers review available cases before selecting what they feel will be a good fit. “I took a sibling group of three and ended up with that group for five years. It had a happy ending but boy, it was very bumpy. It was gut wrenching, but I was happy to see it through,” Ryan says.

The CASA program dates back to 1977 in Washington when a dependency court judge realized he wasn’t getting the full picture from the child’s social worker and attorney, Schaefer says. “He started the process of having volunteers work with kids so he could get an unbiased opinion of what kids wanted.”

The program continued to grow, and it arrived in the North State in 2001. Butte County was first, followed five years later by Glenn County. Shasta County got involved in 2010 and Tehama County joined two years later. There are 128 advocates in the four-county region and about 1,400 kids in foster care. “We could use more,” Schaefer says. “We’re not even serving 8 percent of the kids in care.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2016

The essence of the program is establishing a trusting relationship to allow the CASA volunteer to better advocate for the child’s best interests. Included is the responsibility to file reports with the court prior to each hearing.

“You talk to the social worker first and interview everybody involved with the case, and then you talk to the court,” explains Ryan, who now helps train and supervise new CASA volunteers. “Many times the children are able to be reunited with their parents, but sometimes they aren’t. We work until we find a forever family.”

“When you’re with the kid, it really is a mentorship role,” adds Schaefer. “When you’re producing a report, that’s when the advocacy role kicks in. But you have to have that relationship part to be an effective advocate.”

A CASA volunteer also represents a stable, consistent presence in the life of a child in the foster care system. Fuhrmann says serving in that role was particularly gratifying. “My kid has been in about five different foster homes and one group home since I’ve known him. I and the social worker are the only consistent variables in his life.”

“CASA is the one constant in their lives,” Ryan says. “We are that anchor for them.” • The fourth annual CASA Superhero Run will be held Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Redding Civic Auditorium. Money raised in the 5K and 10K races supports the training, assigning and support of CASA volunteers. For details, visit www.run4casa.com

Room at the Inn T H E I N N AT S H A S TA L A K E

TEN YEARS HAS A FUNNY WAY of passing by in the blink of an eye. It’s amazing what can remain the same in a decade, and even more mind boggling what can change.

In our first issue of the magazine, 10 years ago this month, we published a story on a local treasure that, at the time, was called The O’Brien Mountain Inn. The establishment offered luxurious, stylish and cozy accommodations for those traveling the busy I-5 corridor between Redding and Oregon.

But a few years after the article was published, the Inn closed and became a mere shell of what it once was. For the small, boutique style hotel, just off Interstate 5 in Lakehead, 10 years has brought about the end of one era – and the birth of another. From ownership and namesake to the structure and design aesthetic, the property has undergone a monumental 180-degree turn.

David and Ann Miller, Wisconsinites who had made their home in the Ft. Lauderdale area for more than 25 years, were growing tired of the long commutes and busyness of city living. “We decided to take a step off the hamster wheel,” David says. With Ann’s background in real estate and a reinvigorated interest in purchasing a hotel, the couple began their countrywide search for a new adventure

as innkeepers. In October 2012, the Millers settled on the best possible option: one that was in a desirable, welltraveled, accessible location in a place they would be proud to call home.

“The low cost allowed us to buy something nicer than our budget would have otherwise allowed for, but it took us quite a bit of sweat equity and cash to get it up and running,” says David. The decision was the beginning of a two year labor of love that would restore the building to a brand new kind of glory.

The large renovation, completed with the help of WoodStone Construction in Redding, began with repairing the roof and water damage, in addition to replacing wood that had rotted. They removed walls to expand the size of the units and the bathrooms, upgrading some units with walk-in showers and jetted spa tubs. With 10 unique units, and varying options as far as rates and amenities are concerned, the Inn at Shasta Lake truly has something for every guest. After nearly four years of ownership and just over a calendar year as an operational hotel, the Millers have finally begun to see the fruits of their labor.4 continued on page 28

“We’ve always believed that

‘all boats float at a higher tide’…”

The Inn at Shasta Lake provides the option for nightly rentals, without a weekly minimum requirement. The Inn blends the astounding natural beauty of the outdoors, modern amenities and contemporary décor into the perfect recipe for relaxation. Guests are assured a restful experience in part because of memory foam mattresses, high-end linens and towels, and a quiet ambiance.

“We like to call it luxury in the middle of the wilderness,” says David.

The Millers, who love to cook and enjoy conceptualizing new recipes for The Inn at Shasta Lake, treasure the opportunity to cater to guests from all around the world. “We’ve had visitors from Australia, China, Russia, Germany and the Middle East, in addition to local and stateside visitors. One of the things we love most is getting to talk with them, caring for them, and making them happy.”

Each day at The Inn at Shasta Lake, just after check in, the Millers host a “social hour” between 4:30 and 5:30 pm, providing each guest with a free glass of wine or beer and a chance for guests to get to know each other. The Millers recognize the importance of having the Inn be more than just a place to sleep, and have adopted the concierge concept.

“We tell our guests about all of the good stuff here in the area. We want them to think of us as a base of operations to explore all that is so wonderful around us.”

Among their personal favorite local treasures is the Trail at Bailey Cove, one of the many trails well-maintained by the Forest Service.

Shasta Dam, which provides superb views of “The Three Shastas” as a part of the free tour, is a gem the Millers don’t take for granted. For more experienced hikers, the Millers recommend a trip to Castle Crags.

Shasta Caverns is a perfect family excursion.

During the busy summer months, the Inn at Shasta Lake has no problem filling all of its units. Frequent I-5 travelers have The Inn at Shasta Lake on their radar, not only for vacationing with their families, but for a clean, comfortable and luxurious night’s stay in a beautiful locale, without the stress of mountain driving.

As the summer wanes, the volume of travelers does too, presenting the perfect opportunity for locals to take full advantage of a stay-cation – without the cost or energy involved in hopping a flight. Although it’s not unheard of to get snow in Lakehead during the winter months, typically visitors are likely to experience temperatures between 35 and 50 degrees. The waterfalls are sure to maintain a steady flow and the cooler temperatures make for easier hiking.

As active members of the Shasta Lake Business Owners association, the Millers work closely with other businesses, including the marinas, local restaurants, shops and even other cabins and hotels, seeing other lodging options not as competition, but as integral parts of drawing more business to the area. “We’ve always believed that ‘all boats float at a higher tide’,” Miller says. And with lake levels higher than they’ve been in years and local ski parks slated to reopen this season, 2016 seems like the perfect year for sailing high. • The Inn at Shasta Lake • 18026 O’Brien Inlet Road, Lakehead (530) 863.7645 • www.theinnatshastalake.com

ride on H O R S E L E S S O N S I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E

OF ALL THE DREAMS and longings common to childhood, one springs eternal for so many: the desire to ride horses, or even just be around them.

Unlike such trending, tech-based thrills as Pokémon Go or riding on hoverboards, heading outdoors, mucking a stall and grooming a horse after riding it can be very grounding for children.

Alicia Ryan, owner of NorCal Trail Rides in Anderson, has created horse camps that answer that need. “We do spring, summer and fall horse camps where kids have an opportunity to really have the responsibility – and the fun – of taking care of the horse they ride,” she says.

Children who sign up for the next horse camp offered by NorCal (Nov. 1923) will learn such horsemanship skills as reading the animal’s body language, grooming and how to saddle the horse. “I believe taking care of an animal pretty much prepares these kids to take care of themselves for life,” says Ryan.

“We try to educate kids that there’s more involved than just riding.

They’re taught how to catch and lead their horse, and why we do things a certain way.”

Lessons are available for all ages, starting as young as 2. English and

Western lessons are offered, as are trail rides and birthday parties. Ryan herself does the beginner lessons because she enjoys teaching the complete novice.

Tia Luntey, a 15-year-old sophomore at Shasta High, participated in the camp in June as a junior wrangler. “I got to help with the younger kids, making sure they’re safe and enjoying themselves,” she says. “It’s a big responsibility to make sure you’re on top of everything. If you drop the ball someone can get hurt,” she notes.

Luntey, who started riding at a young age, is at the stables regularly, and has benefitted from what she’s learned there. “I’ve come a long way since I started there a couple of years ago. I started riding really young, but I learned proper riding technique when I got there.”

Lauren Linhart, who gives lessons at Rockin H Ranch off Stillwater Road near Palo Cedro, agrees that children who take horseback riding lessons learn as much about responsibility as they do about the horse. “It teaches them a lot about self-discipline and confidence, and teaches them to be a leader,” she says. Her lessons for kids begin with “on the ground” skills: learning to lead the horse and 4

groom it, cleaning out stalls and beginning to understand what it takes to maintain a horse. Once they learn this, the kids can get up on the horses and ride.

Linhart, 22, works with kids of all ages, but mostly between the ages of 5 and 14. She’s been teaching for seven years at Rockin H and has been riding, as she says, “my whole life.” The ranch has four lesson horses, but if students have their own horses, they’re welcome to bring them. She teaches five days a week, trains young horses, and on her off days works as a veterinary technician at Brink Veterinary Clinic in Palo Cedro.

Her experience working as a vet tech lends her some special expertise, so when the wet winter weather doesn’t allow for riding, she’ll spend time instructing her young students about horse health. “We talk about basic diseases and routine things you need to do to keep a horse in good health, like worming schedules and keeping their hooves up.” Students also learn how to measure out the appropriate amount of hay and keep the horse’s stall clean.

Rockin H has three summer camp sessions and one during spring break. They run Monday through Friday and end with a Saturday horse show and barbecue that includes family members. Each day the kids take care of the horses, have a riding lesson, participate in a horse science/ husbandry class and do a craft or project. A favorite, Linhart says, is getting to paint the horses.

Linhart’s favorite thing about teaching kids is watching their personalities and confidence grow. “Some start out really shy and intimidated, but when they acquire new skills and go over that first jump, they’re always so excited.” •

C EDDING CIVI R T A R E H T A OR F H E R S TO H O N T O R B D R A G HAG

BEN HAGGARD was homeschooled and road-schooled.

The Palo Cedro resident’s homeschooling began after he completed the second grade. His road-schooling commenced at age 15 when his father, the legendary Merle Haggard, asked him to step in as the lead guitarist for The Strangers, Merle’s longstanding backup band.

“I’m not going to say I wasn’t scared to death,” the softspoken 23-year-old says of that first time on stage in Sacramento. That frightened teenager needn’t have worried.

Ben recalls his father repeatedly emphasizing, to audiences and band members alike, that he was not simply favoring his youngest son. “He’d say, ‘Let me make this clear: I would not put somebody in this position if they can’t

play.’ That helped a lot.” Any remaining frazzled nerves were calmed by those whose opinions the young Haggard clearly values: his band mates.

Doubts are only natural when you’re the boss’s son and you’ve been inserted into a rock-solid band of road-tested professionals. “I always looked at that aspect,” Ben says.

“These are seasoned musicians who have been next to some of the best guitar players in the world. They’ll never say anything, but if you play something good, and communicate with music, they’ll turn around and smile. That was more of a compliment than anything they could say verbally.”4

Norm Hamlet, the 81-year-old pedal steel guitar guru who has spent 43 years with The Strangers, did more than smile. “He would reassure me and say, ‘You can actually play.’ That really gave me a lot of encouragement.”

Ben is bringing that encouragement, along with his older brother and fellow musician, Noel, to the Redding Civic Auditorium on Friday, Oct. 7, for a concert to honor the pair’s father. “We don’t really know what we’re going to do yet, but we’re going to try and keep a bit of the excitement going on,” Ben says.

Fans will quickly learn that Merle Haggard’s rich musical legacy is in good hands when the pair performs some of their father’s greatest hits, including “Mama Tried” and “Sing Me Back Home.” Ben recorded both songs on the 2014 release “Working Man’s Poet: A Tribute to Merle Haggard,” and he has taken to YouTube lately to record a couple other favorites from his father’s vast catalog, including “Silver Wings.”

Merle Haggard passed away on April 6, his 79th birthday, after a long bout with pneumonia. The younger Haggard quickly turned to social media to offer up a eulogy: “He loved everything about life, and he loved that every one of you gave him a chance with his music. He wasn’t just a country singer … he was the best country singer that ever lived.”

Merle Haggard’s wife and Ben Haggard’s mother, Theresa, offered her thoughts on her husband’s website: “He was the best singer, songwriter and performer I’ve ever seen. Not only did he write the songs he sang, he was the music. I will miss him forever.”

A professional to the end, and knowing his time was near, Merle asked Ben and Noel to honor his previously scheduled concert dates with Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. They happily complied and Ben had both artists carve their names on his Telecaster guitar, joining a tradition started by his father.

“I guess I have my own ‘Trigger’ now,” Ben says with a chuckle, referring to Nelson’s battered Martin guitar that has been signed by numerous artists. “It’s my No. 1 guitar. I found it over in Humboldt County at a music shop. It really had a thing to it when I picked it up.

Then I set it down for a while and almost sold it. I have a bad tendency 36

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2016

of going through guitars pretty quickly. It’s almost like a marriage: You start to get along and end up staying together for a while.”

Autographs aside, Ben says he had to prepare himself for the time when he would no longer share the stage with his famous father. “He wasn’t immortal and that’s a reality I had to face from a young age. I was very fortunate to have the years I had with him on this Earth. I had 23 great years and I wouldn’t change a bit of it.”

In addition to his rich baritone voice, the young Haggard shares another of his father’s traits: a love of fishing. And thanks to a serendipitous encounter on social media, Ben can pursue his passion in his dad’s old Ranger bass boat.

Not long after his dad’s passing, Ben posted a Shasta Lake fishing picture to his Facebook page. Tanyalynn Cornett of Cottonwood saw the post, replied with her condolences and mentioned that she had Merle Haggard’s old bass boat, and that the time had come to sell it.

Ben was skeptical at first, but when he saw the boat—a custom 1983 Ranger fitted with a Merle Haggard plaque—advertised on Craigslist, “I was like, oh my God, I have to buy this thing.” The next morning, he drove out to Cottonwood to seal the deal, and the reunion was complete.

Ben plans to continue touring with The Strangers “for as long as people want to hear it,” but he also has designs on defining his own career path in the music world. “I’m going to try and make my own thing, something a bit abstract and different from another Haggard’s point of view.” • Ben and Noel Haggard and The Strangers Friday, Oct.7, 7 pm (doors open at 6 pm) Redding Civic Auditorium: (530) 229-0022, www.reddingcivic.com Tickets, $29-$49

Taste OfTuscany

T U S C A N R I D G E E S TAT E W I N E RY I N R E D B L U F F LORI SILKEY LAUGHS as she offers a tour of Tuscan Ridge Estate Winery, a venture she and partner Jeff Epperson started just a few years ago. Recalling how they came upon the property while visiting Red Bluff, she says, “We drove by this place on accident and thought it was cool that Red Bluff had a vineyard. A year later we were looking for property and we were looking for horse property, not a vineyard.”

You can guess where this is going.

A friend called to say that an amazing property was available, but that it had a vineyard on it that was set to be pulled out in two weeks. Realizing that it was the same property they had admired just a year prior, the couple made an offer and called off the tractors preparing to take down the vines.

They set about rehabilitating the vineyard of 1,600 vines of Syrah and Zinfandel grapes on drought-tolerant root stock developed at UC Davis and set to filling their first barrels. “The juice was just so fantastic that we thought it needed to be made into wine,” says Silkey.

She immediately pulled on her experience growing up in Placerville wine country and years of experience making Old World style wines as a hobby.

Her other secret weapon: she’s an esthetician. “The same enzymes and acids that soften a woman’s skin soften grapes,” she says. Then there’s Epperson, who Silkey says is “like MacGyver. He can do anything.”

The couple has also found success by connecting with other winemakers and the viticulture program at Shasta College. Winemakers at Moseley Family Cellars, Dakaro Cellars and Churn Creek Wineries were all instrumental in sharing knowledge and advice, she says.4 continued on page 40

OCTOBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

39

Bringing all of their skills together on behalf of their property, Silkey and Epperson have created a destination winery that people travel the North State to experience and exit the freeway for. “It’s happened so fast and people have been so receptive,” says Silkey, noting that their wine club continues to grow, and any given Thursday through Sunday will find people gathered for woodfired pizza, Bocce ball, live music and award-winning wine.

A 600-year-old valley oak tree towers over the patio, providing shade and a magnificent presence through its size and canopy.

Musicians set up underneath to serenade visitors.

“People are wanting to have the experience without having to go to Napa and Sonoma,” she says, noting that their next door neighbor built the pizza oven for them so he wouldn’t have to travel at all. “He said, ‘If you build it, they will come,’” she says with a laugh. And indeed, they do. “When we opened initially we had no idea if anyone would even show up,” she says. Through just a few Facebook posts and word of mouth, 200 found their way to the winery, 5 miles outside of Red Bluff, on opening day.

“The Tuscan vibe is my thing, is my vision,” says Silkey, noting that she’s enjoyed decorating and creating multiple spaces for guests to linger and soak up the atmosphere. A large room that is heated in winter allows year-round accessibility.

While the attention to detail at Tuscan Ridge suggests a certain meticulousness, the couple is careful to cultivate an atmosphere of inclusion and welcome.

“Some people want to appreciate wine more but they don’t know how,” says Silkey. “I was that person once – I didn’t know anything. You want to learn and it’s overwhelming.”

With this in mind, she adds, “We pride ourselves in being available. We feel very connected to the wine.” They sell outside the winery at just a few select locations, and she says, “We can give the best experience with the wine if people come here.

“I have a real affinity for food and wines, and being able to get the right blends together to appeal to the average person,” she adds. Indeed, a hallmark of Tuscan Ridge is the sheer number of wines they create. They offer eight reds, four whites and special editions of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, in which only 24 cases are produced, which are hand bottled and gravity fed.

Four additional varieties are available only to wine club members, including a Reserve Merlot and a Petite Port. Their TRE Bella

Bubbly is mixed with passionfruit as the signature drink of the winery.

While there are many striking images to take in at Tuscan Ridge Estate, horses are no longer among them. “The horses are gone now,” says Silkey. “Both of us have always lived rural and have always had horses and property, but the grapes have just taken over.” •

CREATING AN 80-MILE TRAIL is a longdistance dream. Pulling it off requires effort and a steady pace.

The Great Shasta Rail Trail still has miles to go, but the ambitious project to connect Burney and McCloud via a multi-use pathway is coming into play. Two sections totaling 37 miles opened a year ago. Hikers, runners, bikers and horseback riders can hit the packed-cinder path east of McCloud from Esperanza to Hambone and from Burney to Lake Britton.

“Word is getting out. It is a lovely place to ride your bike or hike away from traffic,” says April Gray, president of the Great Shasta Rail Trail Association. “It’s a beautiful trail through the woods and meadows.”

The aim is a woodsy recreation opportunity serving locals and bringing visitors to the North State. The route has views of Mt. Shasta and connects to McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park and the Pacific Crest Trail. The plan is a trail following the line of the former McCloud River Railway, started

by McCloud River Lumber Company in 1896 to haul logs and lumber. Operation of the line ceased in 2006.4 continued on page 46

“Word is getting out …

It is a lovely place to ride your bike or hike away from traffic...”

Remnants of logging camps and wagon roads plus a historic water tank are along the route. A trestle 78 feet above Lake Britton is called the Stand by Me Bridge for its moment of fame in the 1986 movie based on a Stephen King novella (the “Stand by Me” scene of four boys trying to outrun a train is posted at www.greatshastarailtrail.org). The trestle will be a highlight of the trail, but it isn’t ready yet.

“It’s blocked off. It is definitely not safe for pedestrian use,” Gray says.

Rebuilding and repairing trestles, bridges and culverts are some of the bigger challenges ahead, Gray says. “We are really focused right now on trying to open more of the trail. We’re focusing on some of the smaller bridges.”

Other work down the line includes developing trailheads and interpretive signs. The entire trail could be open within 10 years, according to Gray. Developing a trail that stretches 80 miles is difficult, but there are advantages to using a railroad route.

“What is really lovely about a rail trail is we don’t have to go and plot out where the trail is going to be,” Gray says. “We don’t have to build the base. That allows you, once you get the land, to jump right in.”

Levelness is a plus, too, she adds. “Railroads tend to be no more than a 3-percent grade. That makes it real easy on the legs.”

The trail is open to hikers, runners, bicyclists, horseback riders, crosscountry skiers and snowshoers. It’s for exploration and fitness, as well as being a transportation option – away from traffic – for bike riders. And it should boost local economies.

“It’s a really exciting project for a lot of reasons – partly because it touches on so many benefits,” says Ben Miles, one of the early trail advocates. Miles, who lives in Danville, Ky., is former director of Shasta Land Trust in Redding and remains on the Great Shasta Rail Trail Association board.

The trail’s beginnings go back to 2005 when Burney resident Joe Studenicka of Save Burney Falls saw potential for a trail after the railroad filed paperwork to abandon part of its line. Save Burney Falls submitted the initial trail development request.

Federal law allows for rail corridors to become trails through a process called “railbanking” that preserves an option of future rail use rather than complete abandonment. Trail proponents negotiate with the railroad to buy the property and for easements and other agreements.

A core coalition of organizations has been behind the push for the Great Shasta Rail Trail: Save Burney Falls, McCloud Local First Network, Shasta Land Trust, Volcanic Legacy Community Partnership, McCloud Trail Association and Fall River Mills Chamber of Commerce. Many other organizations and agencies have helped.

Most funding is from grants. Shasta Land Trust used a $350,000 state Department of Transportation grant to purchase the railroad land in 2012. Another key grant was $184,230 from the National Scenic Byways program for engineering studies.

The Great Shasta Rail Trail Association formed in 2013 to be the nonprofit holding title of the property and maintaining the trail. • Great Shasta Rail Trail, www.greatshastarailtrail.org

KINDNESS CHANGES THE

W RLD Dignity Health North State is proud to recognize and celebrate exemplary acts of humankindness by participating in the 2016 Acts of Humankindness Awards. Humankindness is the effect we have on one another when we reach out and help ease each other’s pain.

This belief is at the core of our mission, and it has the power to change not just health care, but our world. This award program recognizes our valued employees, physicians, and volunteers across the North State who create a culture where humankindness is the norm.

Tammy Fuller received the 2015 Values in Action Award at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital for the excellent service she provides to our patients, employees and the community. Shortly after she received this award, she was attending a Bible study where a recently rescued victim of human trafficking was describing her desperate need to buy a plane ticket to get home. Tammy quietly pulled money out of her purse and slipped it in the offering plate – the money she’d received from her Values in Action Award, which she knew that she would use to help someone else when the right opportunity arose.

The victim of human trafficking was able to go home to her family, receive the love and support she needed, and begin healing and living a life of feeling valued and accepted. “What a blessing Tammy is to so many,” her nominator said.

Donna Langston, RN, is described as the poster child for humankindness, exuding kindness in her every act. She recently traveled to Northern Vietnam, where she volunteered her nursing services and triaged more than 2,800 patients in six locations. Nursing is her true calling, and she is a role model whose daily actions remind others about their mission. A highly talented clinician, leader and team player, she brings calm when there is chaos, brightness in the dark and a supportive attitude to everything she does. Her recent mission to Vietnam opened her colleagues’ eyes to the global challenges in healthcare. “When you see her with her patients, it make you remember why we are here to serve,” her nominator said. “It puts into perspective the challenges we face compared to those of other nations. It is so

important for us all to step back and be thankful for what we have and to support and serve those less fortunate.”

Shar Washburn, RN, gives patients hope in the outpatient chemotherapy clinic at Mercy Medical Center Redding. She treats her patients like family, providing a compassionate ear and a shoulder to cry on. When someone finishes their last chemotherapy treatment, she and her fellow clinic staff perform a modified chicken dance to celebrate. Even after being diagnosed with cancer herself, she continues to share her strength, reminding patients that cancer is a diagnosis, not a death sentence. Patients say Shar was essential in getting them and their families through this dark time, and others have been inspired to pursue careers in oncology nursing because of her influence. “Shar is the epitome of Humankindness. She is the nurse that I want to be. Her strength and compassion are second to none,” her nominator said. “I believe that God puts certain people in your life to enrich your life experience, and Shar shines such a bright light on everyone that she touches.”

Each Dignity Health facility will honor award winners during the Acts of Humankindness Week in October. At Dignity Health North State, 53 individuals will be honored with an Acts of Humankindness Award. Additionally, 20 more will be honored with Dignity Health Steward Awards at a system-wide Dignity Health Awards Reception in Las Vegas on October 17.

Congratulations to all of our Acts of Humankindness Steward winners, who demonstrate that humankindness is powerful medicine.

Books are the Sweetest Treat

“A

s an active grandmother, there is nothing more precious than the time I spend holding a child on my lap and reading a book.

Snuggling and exploring colors, shapes, sounds, and language – we’re discovering together! To me, this is the sum of all things good about life.

“Reading just 20 minutes a day with a child helps build essential language and literacy skills. And science has shown us that lap reading stimulates connection of neural pathways in the brain that guide learning and behavior. In Shasta County, nearly half of incoming kindergartners are not ‘reading ready.’ Knowing that reading proficiency is associated with student success, it is important for agencies and literacy efforts serving children to get on the same page to improve literacy levels. The very best place to start is with our little ones.”

Judy Salter

Passionate reader and grandmother of 6

By sharing a book, you can support the early literacy skills children need when they start kindergarten. In kindergarten, children are learning to read. By third grade, they are reading to learn. They will rely on this skill for the rest of their lives. That’s why Judy Salter and First 5 Shasta are part of the Shasta Early Literacy Partnership (SELP) dedicated to boosting early literacy. Both SELP and First 5 Shasta distribute thousands of books each year to children, making sure they have treats on hand all year round.

Halloween offers a unique opportunity to give children something meaningful.

Although the traditional treat is candy, First 5 Shasta proposes switching it up!

Families can include a stop at a Little Free Library for a free book treat. Find a map to these friendly neighborhood book

kiosks at www.first5shasta.org/lflibraries.

If you’re opening your door to a fairy princess, swashbuckling pirate or equally glamorous or spooky little creature, why not share the sweetest treat of all? Hand out an inexpensive children’s book and make a lasting positive impact in the life of a young child.

First 5 Shasta is building a pathway to success for young children. As stewards of Proposition 10 tobacco tax revenues, they invest over $1 million each year in quality programs, services, and activities that better the lives of Shasta County’s youngest residents. First 5 Shasta investments combined with the contributions of community members are making the pathway strong. Get involved: www.first5shasta.org

GOOD FINDS

Reinventing Ramen M O M O N A N O O D L E A N D B AO I N C H I C O AS COOLER WEATHER ARRIVES, cravings for comfort foods set in, including, sometimes, a hot bowl of soup or noodles. A year ago last month, Sarah Schlobohm, 27, and Mahina Gannet, 32, opened the doors to Momona Noodle and Bao, bringing Chico foodies a fresh new place to satisfy noodle cravings that is far from the ramen they likely grew up on.

“We've both had a small obsession with Japanese food and culture,” says Gannet, who sees herself as the house manager of the joint venture. “I love our style. I think we've really taken from the Japanese and Hawaiian tradition, but with a Chico lens.”

The menu is focused on Japanese style ramen noodle soups and Taiwanese style open bao – small, house-made buns filled with combinations such as pork belly, hoisin and cucumber pickles.

The “Chico lens” Gannet speaks of means local kale might stand in for Nori, and the pork belly comes from Rancho Lano Seco.

“We're very much about a very high quality of food but in a more casual atmosphere,” says Schlobohm, who is the executive chef, using her experience from the culinary program at the Art Institute in Sacramento and on the job helping to open Grana, also in Chico.

The two, who met through partners in the Chico music scene, began their culinary venture with supper clubs at Gannet's house serving 20 people five-course meals. “My resume doesn't exactly translate to any normal job in Chico,” she says. “So I thought, 'I think I better start my own business if I'm going to stay in Chico.'” She landed in the town to be with her boyfriend after a career that included live music production and tour management for such acts as Death Cab for Cutie, Neko Case, Sheryl Crow and Eric Clapton.

Schlobohm, who grew up in Chico, says, “I never really had a solid direction. In the back of my mind, I’d always wanted to go to culinary school. Then one day I wondered, ‘Why don’t I?’” Now she says she’s in love with what she describes as “this whole crazy culinary world” and adds, “I’ll probably stay in it forever. I’m already looking at the next angle.”4 continued on page 52

Momona has become a downtown favorite and occupies the space of two former community favorites, Spice Creek Cafe and Cory's. People who have been around awhile recognize the tables and chairs from Cory's but also note that the restaurant has a unique design. It's “light, air, plants, wood, natural textures,” says Gannet. The graphic design of the restaurant logo feels modern and fun. “It just worked out that Momonoa was almost in the shape of noodles,” she adds.

While the feel of the restaurant is definitely fresh and hip, there's a no-pretentiousness rule that the duo follows and expects of their team. “We just want real people working for us and to have real conversations with our customers, who have a real interest in our food,” says Schlobohm. They take great pride in serving what they refer to as white tablecloth food, without the white tablecloth.

To that end, customers can watch that real

food being made in the open kitchen. “You see everything we're doing,” says Schlobohm, who enjoys the camaraderie that develops between customers and her kitchen crew.

“We don't buy sauces,” adds Gannet. “We make every single sauce that's on our menu, which at this point is about 20 sauces.”

The team works with local producers as often as possible, and keeps a list of their purveyors at the entrance. The noodles are shipped from Sun Noodles in Los Angeles, because they are closest in consistency to the what the pair remember from their travels to ramen houses in Japan.

The gluten-free noodles are actually veggies sent through a ricer to look like noodles.

“We tweaked our menu a bit for summer weather but our number one item is still ramen,” says Schlobohm. “It rains and we're packed,” adds Gannet. “Every single time, without fail.”

“I just want to bring good, different food and different culture to Chico,” says Gannet, who grew up in New Jersey and often visited her mother's family in Oahu as a young person. “I feel so lucky to have found this community.”

The pair have a third business partner, financial adviser Michael Lee, and received great help from friends who jumped in to sand, paint and prepare the restaurant for opening day. “It's a culmination of many of us,” says Schlobohm, adding, “we did it with no investors. It was just the three of us.”

“We talked so long about someday, someday, someday,” she muses. “And then one day we asked, 'Why someday?'” On any given rainy night, there's a line of diners at Momona's bar gracefully slurping warm ramen broth, grateful that someday finally arrived. • Momona Noodle and Bao 230 W. 3rd St., Chico (530) 487-7488 www.momonachico.com

F I N D I N G F I S H AT T H E CO L E M A N N AT I O N A L F I S H H ATC H E RY IT’S AN UPSTREAM BATTLE: Every autumn, slippery salmon strongly swim some 280 miles from San Francisco Bay to Shasta County.

The salmon saga is a treasured part of the North State narrative.

Coleman National Fish Hatchery – the largest federal hatchery in the nation – celebrates the fall run of Chinook in a big way with the Return of the Salmon Festival. It runs from 9 am to 4 pm on Oct. 15 at the hatchery on Battle Creek, 20 miles southeast of Redding. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the fun and fishy festival, which is free and includes displays, activities and the chance to view hatchery operations.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hatchery was established in 1942 after construction of Shasta and Keswick dams blocked migrating fish from spawning areas on the Sacramento, Pit and McCloud rivers.

“We’re here to mitigate for the loss of that spawning habitat,” explains Brett Galyean, acting project leader at Coleman. Salmon play a significant role in nature as a food source for birds, bears, orcas, seals and other creatures. Commercial and recreational salmon fishing are important to people and the economy.

Coleman raises 14 million fish each year, mostly salmon, but the mix includes 600,000 steelhead – rainbow trout that migrate. The hatchery has a spawning facility, incubators, tanks and rearing raceways. Larval fish known as alevin emerge from eggs, grow into fry and then become smolt. The 3-inch-long fish are released into Battle Creek to make their way to the Pacific Ocean, where they live a few years before heading back to their birthplace to spawn.

A lot can happen on the way to the ocean, out in the ocean and on the trip back up the Sacramento River. Only a small percentage of fish return to Battle Creek, a tributary of the river, to fling themselves up the hatchery fish ladder and complete the cycle.

“We’re aiming for a 1 percent return,” Galyean says.4

continued on page 56

OCTOBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

A fall run of 25,000 to 30,000 salmon is typical, he says. But he estimates fewer than 20,000 salmon will come back to Coleman this year. That’s because fish in the return group should include those released during the drought when many were trucked to Rio Vista in the Bay Area due to North State waters flowing too slowly, low and warm.

“WE’RE TRYING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON SALMON AND NATURAL RESOURCES IN THE NORTH STATE”

“Unfortunately, not all those fish will return,” Galyean says. “You have to remember that back in 2014 we weren’t facing many good choices.”

While the fish numbers are likely to be lower, the Return of the Salmon Festival is expected to draw lots of people. The festival’s reach goes beyond the North State. An episode of “California Gold” showcasing Coleman continues to play on public television and brings statewide attention to the hatchery. As many as 6,000 visitors can show up for the festival, Galyean says.

The focus is fun and learning. “We’re trying to educate the public on salmon and natural resources in the North State,” Galyean says.

Those attending get an inside look at spawning operations. They can watch salmon weighing 20 pounds or more jumping up the fish ladder or be splashed by leaping lunkers in holding tanks. Children’s activities include opportunities to learn about salmon, meet Landon the 56

Salmon (a costumed character) or paint a salmon.

Natural resources agencies and organizations will have displays and activities. Parking and free bus shuttles are at Walmart Supercenter on Rhonda Road in Anderson.

If you miss the festival, that’s no reason to miss out on the fall fish.

The autumn run usually goes through October and into early November. Coleman is open to the public from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm daily for self-guided tours, with spawning operations typically from 9 am to 3 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays in October (Galyean suggests calling ahead for any changes to times or operations).

Another option is Battle Creek Salmon Trail. It’s a good place to see sizeable salmon swimming up the creek in autumn. The twomile, one-way interpretive trail connects the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Battle Creek Wildlife Area to Coleman Hatchery. The trailhead is just west of the hatchery off Coleman Fish Hatchery Road. • Coleman National Fish Hatchery 24411 Coleman Fish Hatchery Road in Anderson (530) 365-8622 • www.fws.gov/coleman

BEAUTY TRENDS

GIVE TAKE T H E L AT E S T P R O C E D U R E S IN SCULPTING AND FILLING IN MY LAST ARTICLE, I discussed ssome of the many skincare options available, such as laser resurfacing, Ultherapy and Botox. This month, I spoke with some of the top dermatologists around the North State and they gave me the scoop on the latest in sculpting and filling.

One procedure that seems to be all the rage is CoolSculpting, in which unwanted fat is frozen away with no surgery or downtime. People literally get this done on a lunch hour, according to Tiffany Digiuseppe at Artistry Esthetics & Laser. This FDA-approved approach uses controlled cooling to eliminate fat that is otherwise resistant to diet and exercise. Referred to as “Hollywood’s best kept secret,” CoolSculpting is quickly becoming the go-to option for fat elimination. First, you’ll have a consultation with your specialist, who will then decide how many visits you will need and what areas to target. Popular areas include the inner and outer thighs and muffin top—places that tend to store fat. CoolSculpting uses precisely controlled cooling to effectively target the fat cells beneath the surface.

Treated fat cells are then crystallized (frozen) and die, leaving a more sculpted you.

Another way to avoid surgery while achieving a more sculpted figure is through Smartlipo—liposuction with lasers. Most laser-assisted liposuction procedures only take 60 to 90 minutes to perform. Of course, this depends on the number of areas being treated, but in most cases, patients can return to work and normal activities within days. Patients should see immediate results after surgery and their newly contoured body will reveal a more defined shape over time.

Many options exist for fillers, as well. Juvéderm instantly smoothes away the deeper lines on your face. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and moisture.

This normal aging process, plus environmental factors such as sun exposure, causes facial lines to form, including moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.

Juvéderm is a nonsurgical treatment that contains a modified hyaluronic acid.

It’s gently injected under the skin to lift, smooth and plump. Julie Kaplan at 4

Disappearing Act says fillers are a lot of fun because you get immediate gratification.

“They are popular because you look better right away. You can turn back the clock in five minutes.”

Another procedure growing in popularity is Kybella, a prescription injection that specifically targets a double chin. When injected into the fat under the chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Again, the number of treatments necessary is based on your desired chin profile.

When you hear the word “facelift,” it may conjure images of celebrities who took things a bit too far. Well, times have changed, and facelifts have come a long way.

There are now such procedures as QuickLift mini facelifts, which can be done right in the doctor’s office, not a hospital. Dr. Daniel Lensink, perhaps best known for eyelid surgery, knew there was a demand for Medi-Spa-type procedures. He says his clients wanted more than “lasers, potions and lotions, but didn’t want the deep plane facelift.” So he began performing the Quicklift and the Uplift Mini-Mini Facelift.

His criteria are: Natural-appearing, long-lasting, affordable and less invasive. He says he wants all of his clients to walk out feeling like they got more than they thought— not less. Meanwhile, 3D Fat Transfer replaces volume lost by aging. Using pinprick incisions, fat taken from either the abdomen or under the chin is injected into the desired areas. Because it’s your own fat, it doesn’t reabsorb as quickly as other procedures. Lensink says all of these treatments can be performed in his office, and do not tend to be very invasive—only minor bruising and swelling, with very little recovery time.

It’s a new era for fats, fillers and lifts. You no longer have to be at the mercy of anesthesia and months of recovery—get treated while checking your email on your lunch hour! Many specialists who offer these treatments here in the North State host events and hold specials, so check their websites for more information. Beauty may be only skin deep, but it’s the skin we live in, and we want the best. • Melissa Gulden is a teacher and sports and fitness enthusiast with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

LOCAL HISTORY

| BY GARY VANDEWALKER

A Peak Experience J O H N M U I R ’ S M O U N T S H A S TA A D V E N T U R E BORN IN SCOTLAND, outdoorsman John Muir’s heart was transformed in the wilderness of America. The third child of eight, he worked the family farm when they moved to the United States in 1849. The outdoors was his real home. He tried college, but never finished. He took a job in a lumber mill, where an accident almost took his eyesight. He left the job, determined to see America, and walked 1,000 miles to Florida before setting off to California and vowing to make nature his life.

Yosemite drew Muir to the western mountains. He built a cabin and explored the Sierras. In 1873, he looked

north from his job near Redding, where he worked with the McCloud River salmon. There the quiet white giant pulled at his heart. In his journal, he wrote, “Shasta is a noble mark for a mountaineer, and I may soon reach it.”

Between 1874 and 1914, his passion for the volcano and the snowy slopes turned into a dozen ascents. His trips to Mount Shasta centered in the comfort of Justin Sisson’s station. Sisson’s hospitality was renowned, and Muir became a close friend. 4 continued on page 64

OCTOBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

In 1875, Muir watched the snow begin to fall in a light shower outside the windows of Sisson’s Inn. He had come with two fellow adventurers: Jerome Fay, a mountaineer, and Captain A.F. Rodgers from the U.S. Coast Survey. Muir brought them to ascend the mountain despite the snow. They left with horses, Sisson leading the way. They traveled until five feet of snow caused Muir to abandon the pack animals to Sisson, and the three men carried their provisions to the timberline where they camped. They began their ascent at 3:20 am the next morning, and by 7:30 am, they reached the summit.

As the three worked their way back down, rain found them. What began as a light shower had by noon developed into a raging storm. At 3 pm the trio began to try to move off of the mountain. The temperature plummeted to below zero as the wind and lightning filled the sky. They worried about being blown off the mountain and the real possibility of freezing to death.

Muir knew a way to survive. He led the group nearby to some hot springs, which created a 1/8-inch layer of hot mud on the mountainside. Muir directed the party to lay in the mud, flipping as necessary to keep each side of their bodies warm. Over the next two hours, two feet of snow covered them. Fay told stories, while for 17 hours the three lay in the mud, calling out to one another, making sure each man was alive.

As the sun rose, the air grew warmer. The muddy, frozen clothing crackled as the men stood.

They ventured down into the trees, trudging through the new fallen snow. As they drew closer to the valley, the voice of Sisson could be heard calling for them. He offered breakfast, which the men passed on for warm coffee.

Muir recounted their adventure to Sisson, who remarked that only a small cloud cover could be seen on the mountain the day before. As they conversed and walked toward the inn, the snow turned to green grass and flowers.

Muir journaled after cleaning up ched oon we rea n er ft and putting away his equipment: a e h t N ext Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica. He manages the Narnia Study Center. A Ph.D. in philosophy, he writes on a variety of subjects, including more than 100 articles for Enjoy.

W O R T H E V E RY D I M E AT O R C H A R D & T W I N E CARIS SMITH AND MINDY WARNER appreciate beauty in found objects, whether useful or simply pleasing to the eye. That is where their worlds converged. The two met while working in rented spaces at Oregon Street Antique Mall. Smith displayed her favorite old things, while Warner showcased both found and repurposed items. They enjoyed going on shopping and “picking” forays together and began sharing dreams about opening their own store one day.

While dreamers keep dreaming, planners make things happen.

Combining their energies and talents, Smith and Warner launched Orchard & Twine, an upscale gift and home decor store, in May 2014, as a “pop-up market” with limited storefront hours. They focused marketing on Instagram and Facebook. Periodic big sales events at their storefront in east Redding drew loyal and inquisitive new customers who shared their love of industrial/farm decor that has become Orchard & Twine’s signature.

They took the next big step in pursuit of their dreams almost two years to the day after their initial launch. Orchard & Twine has matured with regular days and hours of business at its new location on the north end of Hilltop Drive in Redding. The owners still work actively at online marketing. It’s been a cautious transition as they have

built their customer base and inventory—easing into it, Smith says, always committed to financial responsibility. Smith manages the business end and marketing for Orchard & Twine, while Warner plans and designs an environment with warm aesthetics. Together they have created a successful partnership.

Warner sets the tone with monochromatic color schemes, subtle punches of seasonal color, and arrangements reminiscent of early twentieth-century European farmhouses. They purchase from wholesale markets that offer beautiful vintage furniture as well as reproductions and unique found items from Europe, pure cotton bath towels from Turkey and gift items from vendors closer to home.

Sumptuous organic goat milk soaps come from Tennessee, while a good part of their metal work is created by an artisan in Sacramento.

The women love real wood and prefer handcrafted items. They like to mix styles and aesthetics, like placing a French baguette cart underneath an old mantle decorated with trophies and old books.

Mounted antlers and an elk head on other walls complete the sense of homey elegance. They believe they are creating an environment that both men and women can appreciate.4

Tony Newton became acquainted with Warner and Smith while shopping at Oregon Street Antique Mall in Redding. She later bought items from Warner at her Roses and Rust Vintage Market booth. Newton loves their passion for unique products and design. She says their new store is “my new favorite place. It’s like a breath of fresh air. I want to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine in their shop.” Newton recently purchased a one-of-a-kind butcher block that Warner and her husband found and added legs to before displaying in the store. Newton fell in love with it and bought it for her new home.

Smith continues to build their online presence, with Instagram their most successful venue. Since her early word of mouth and hand-delivered flyers, Smith has seen their faithful customer base grow. Now, she says, they are about 20 percent of their customers, with the rest responding to the online showcase as well as walk-in traffic at their new store.

The women have plans and visions still unrealized. Warner wants to create beautiful spaces that inspire others, and in the future to expand and diversify to include more gift items. She wants it to be a fun shopping experience for customers. Smith dreams of building a business that becomes a destination for travelers and where locals want to bring their out-of-town guests to shop. She says, “I’m so happy with the new location.” • Orchard & Twine • 940 Hilltop Drive, Redding Sandie Tillery Creating a picture with words has been Sandie’s small claim to fame for a good part of her life.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2016

Initially, the aim of this event was to increase the early detection of breast cancer by encouraging women to have mammograms. Early detection means that cancer can be more effectively treated and prevented from spreading to other areas of the body. While the facts can be frightening, there are reasons for optimism as well. When breast cancer is diagnosed early and treated, survival rates can be near 100%. This is why regular screenings and quality treatment are critical to millions of women who will be diagnosed in their lifetimes.

CAUSES & RISK FACTORS: Age, genetic risk factors, family history, personal history, race, menstrual periods, using birth control, postmenopausal hormone therapy, obesity, alcohol, and lack of exercise are just a few.

Breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms are all excellent screenings to preform and can improve your chances for early detection of breast cancer. Currently, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime during her life is a little less than one in eight.

Life style changes that can help with prevention like, limiting alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, not using hormone therapy, and breast feeding for a few months might possibly reduce your risk as well.

On October 20th, 2016 Greenville Rancheria and Dignity Health will be joining forces to promote early breast cancer detection by offering referrals for mammograms. Please stop by between the hours of 9:00 AM & 2:00 PM at our clinic located at 1425 Montgomery Road, Red Bluff for a THINK PINK token (while supplies last). With awareness, more affordable screening, better quality of care, and new research and development, we can help save millions of women’s lives.

We do not always know why one person develops cancer and another does not. Yet with a healthy lifestyle and routine screening, you will feel good knowing you are doing what you can to lower your cancer risk.

GOOD TIMES

| BY JORDAN VENEMA

"I neve r did

grow up."

—KEN SMITH

Adventure Seeke rs

E X P LO R E !

S I E R R A TO U R I N G C O M PA N Y I N PLUM A S CO U NT Y

“PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK if I grew up there,” says Ken Smith, who then clarifies, “but no, I was raised there. I never did grow up.”

Smith is referring to Diamond S Ranch, a 1,500 -acre playground for adults located in Beckwourth, Calif. Smith, the founder of Explore! Sierra Touring Company, may have one of the best jobs in the world, which he is eager to talk about while promising, “I’ll try to keep it clean,” he laughs heartily.

Smith no longer lives on the ranch, which is a short drive from Portola, though he spends his days offering all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile tours to adventure-seeking adults.

Smith and his family moved to the ranch from Truckee in 1972 because “Truckee was getting too crowded for us.” He and his father then bought an automotive shop in Portola, and a few years later, his father started a rock plant on the ranch. About 30 years later after his father retired, Smith sold the automotive shop and returned to the ranch to run the rock plant.

“I did that for about a year,” he says, though he missed owning his own business. “Plus, my dog was getting a little short on conversation, so I thought, why don’t I just buy a couple ATVs and do a couple tours and see how it goes?”

That was in late 2007, and nine years later, Smith owns a fleet of 55 ATVs and 33 snowmobiles.

Though Smith fled Truckee – Truckee – because it was getting too crowded, he realized his land should be appreciated by others. While some from his neck of the woods might sneer at “flatlanders” and city folk, Smith wanted “to find a way to share it with others.” That “way” to share the ranch started out with a few ATVs and two- and three-hour guided tours, including instruction.

“We definitely use a guide, ‘cause there’s too many ways for people to get themselves in trouble,” laughs Smith, who says about 99 percent of the people who come up there have never been on an ATV before.

“So we start off nice and easy with a couple curveballs to test ya.”4 continued on page 72

OCTOBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Tours are tailored to the group, and groups larger than eight usually have a second guide, which allows groups to split up relative to experience.

Smith had originally built about 15 miles of ATV trails, one end of the ranch to the other with nine play areas throughout the course.

These “loop trails” off the main trail have names like Booby Trap, Twister, Curvaceous and Busted Wing, named fondly after historical and hilarious occurrences that Smith will happily retell in person.

For a little extra, the ATV tour can come with a barbecue hosted at the ranch’s barn, or trap shooting in the middle of the ranch.

The snowmobile trails essentially rule the roost of the ranch, but thanks to a Forest Service permit, Smith guesses they have about 300 miles of trail at their fingertips.

While tours last two or three hours, depending on the option and size of the group, Smith is the kind of guy that enjoys what he does, and it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for him to extend the tours a little longer.

“Well, they usually do, and when you get into snowmobile season it really does ‘cause I’m a snowmobile junkie,” Smith says with a laugh.

If we’re having fun and you don’t need to be back right away, we’ll probably go a little longer.”

Some of the other ways Explore! is encouraging people to experience adventures is through electric bike tours and falconry – yes, falconry.

“These are serious bikes,” says Smith. The Santa Cruz mountain bikes are fitted with electric assist, which means a whole family can bike up the 3,000 feet and keep up with the fastest.

“I’m 55,” says Smith, “and I’m not in perfect shape but I’m in decent shape.” He says he went up with a group of professional riders and kept up the entire time. The best part, nobody was the wiser if he used the assist or not.

Raptor Adventures is perhaps exactly what you’d expect. Students are given a two-hour instruction session by licensed falconer and Jim Tigan, founder of the Alaska Raptor Rehabilitation Center. Using a gauntlet, students can experience falcons flying to their arms from perches. The experience, says Smith, is a rush.

“I think people are starving for real, I really do. People come up, twisted up, cellphones out constantly, and you can tell they’re caught up in it. But put them on a quad and they’re not thinking about the office anymore,” says Smith. “When they get back to the barn they’re all muddy and have a big smile on their face, and they’re laughing. It’s like a whole new person.”

It’s the real deal, Smith emphasizes. And maybe more importantly, and this is something he can speak to: “It’s like being a kid again.” •

STEM CELLS ...

OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM

Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate.

Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives.

Using your own stem cells, we may be able to help you with these issues:

ORTHOPEDIC

A Spoonful of Magic

J O H N S E B A S T I A N TO P E R F O R M I N R E D B L U F F JOHN SEBASTIAN’S CONTRIBUTIONS, both as the leader of the Lovin’ Spoonful and as a solo artist, loom large on the American musical landscape.

The unique fusion of rock, folk and jug band that he created with the Lovin’ Spoonful helped return American popular music to relevance at the height of the ‘60s “British Invasion” and his influence continues to resonate across musical genres.

As a composer/lyricist, he wrote an amazing string of impactful songs, including “Do You Believe In Magic?” “Younger Girl,” “Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?,” “Daydream,”

“Summer In The City,” “Rain On The Roof,” “Nashville Cats,” and “Younger Generation.” During this run, the Spoonfuls placed their first seven singles in the Top 10 and their first nine in the Top 20.

And as an instrumentalist, primarily playing harmonica, he has accompanied a wide range of artists over his career, including Judy Collins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Doors, Bob Dylan, the Everly Brothers, Art Garfunkel, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, Graham Parker, Dolly Parton, Peter, Paul & Mary, John Prine and Bonnie Raitt.4 continued on page 76

OCTOBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

His father was a classical harmonica player, his mother a writer of radio shows. He grew up in Greenwich Village, where he applied the knowledge of the harmonica he was given by his father to the music of the folk revival that was taking place in his neighborhood in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

“By the time I was 14 or 15, I was in a doo-wop group, and I was playing, you know, a cheap guitar. And then I started playing electric guitar out of that, as I began to play in sort of Duane Eddy-type bands, you know, with sax and guitar and drums and maybe a bass, and then came back to things like acoustic guitars and autoharps.”

By age 16, he was stepping onto the stages of coffeehouses and folk clubs, and by age 18 he was appearing as a sideman on recordings.

“Being a kid surrounded by jug band, folk music and rock and roll, it was so much of a fertile ground to take all these different influences and incorporate them into something.”

In the winter of 1964-1965, he and lead guitarist Zal Yanovsky began assembling the quartet that would become the Lovin’ Spoonful, eventually adding bass player Steve Boone and drummer Joe Butler.

“People today are still living off the table scraps of the ‘60s.

They are still being passed around, the music and the ideas.”

- Bob Dylan Sebastian knew blues veteran Mississippi John Hurt personally, whose tune “Coffee Blues” (“I love my baby / By the lovin’ spoonful”) would provide his band with its name.

The Lovin’ Spoonful signed to Kama Sutra Records (an offshoot of MGM Records) and in the summer of 1965 released its first single, “Do You Believe in Magic,” on which he sang lead vocals (as he did on all the group’s singles while he was a member, in addition to writing or co-writing all its hits).

By 1968, he was working on solo material, plus considering, but ultimately rejecting, an offer to join a trio of his friends who went on to become Crosby, Stills & Nash.

One of his most famous moments was his unscheduled performance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969. He wasn’t booked to perform, although plans changed when rain temporarily made electric instruments problematic.

“I was running around, trying to find a guitar. Timmy Hardin loaned me a very serviceable Harmony Sovereign and I did the gig.”

The result was that his solo career really took off, by being featured on the chart-topping Woodstock soundtrack album and in the documentary film.

Several years later, he was asked to write the theme song for the television series “Welcome Back, Kotter,” which premiered in September 1975. It topped the charts in May 1976 and went gold.

For the next 17 years, Sebastian performed concerts, made guest appearances on other artists’ records and did occasional movie soundtrack work.

In 1993, his fifth solo studio album, “Tar Beach,” was released.

He then teamed up with a group of old friends and returned to playing the jug band music he had started with back in Greenwich Village more than 30 years before, performing and recording with a group called John Sebastian and the J-Band.

Sebastian was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 with the other members of the Lovin’ Spoonful, which was followed by his entry into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008.

He currently tours mostly as a solo performer, in a show featuring both his music and personal stories. •

Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico EnterpriseRecord, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue and Rolling Stone magazines.

recipe OCTOBER 2016

I first tried gumbo in New Orleans, and ever since, I have loved making it. If time allows, I will make it the day before so the flavors have a chance to develop. This recipe makes a large pot and is great for a group of eight to 10, but you can easily cut the ingredients in half for a smaller pot of gumbo.

Traditional versions have the rice cooked into them.

All have okra, which gives the gumbo earthiness and a wonderful crunch. This version has a California twist, adding roasted garlic and serving it over cooked rice.

Altogether, you get a bit of spice, deep, rich flavors, lots of wonderful veggies and delicious meats.

Ladle this gumbo over your choice of cooked brown, basmati or jasmine rice and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a dash of hot sauce.

Laissez les bons temps rouler – let the good times roll!

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Heat the broth in a stock pot. Let it come to a simmer while preparing the roux.

STEP 2: In a skillet, make a dark roux by melting butter over a medium-low heat and then add the flour. Whisk this completely and then constantly stir until smooth and the roux develops a deep golden amber color – 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and keep stirring until cool. (The roux can brown quickly, so it’s important to stir continuously and if needed, reduce heat if it starts to brown too quickly.)

STEP 4: Add okra and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

STEP 5: Lastly, add the shrimp and simmer until opaque, another 10 minutes.

STEP 6: Remove bay leaves, add salt and pepper if desired, and serve over cooked rice. Garnish with a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce, chopped parsley and green onions.

Enjoy!

STEP 3: Next, slowly whisk in the roux mixture, a little at a time, allowing it to dissolve into the warmed broth and thicken a bit. Mix chicken and sausage into the broth mixture and return to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes and then add the seasonings, bay leaves, roasted garlic and vegetables and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. (Add water to thin the sauce, if needed. You want a thicker sauce, not a soupy sauce.)

Beautiful Crescent City

by Billy Pilgrim

The crazy thing about a trip to Crescent City is the number of people you see from Redding on any given day! It's four and a half hours away from Shasta County, but it's like everyone had the same idea let's go to Crescent City, walk on the beach, see the lighthouse and build a campfire. We have been going for more than 35 years, first camping in Klamath along the river, then staying at Camp Marigold, eventually graduating to the Crescent Beach Motel and lately enjoying the amazing Ocean Front Lodge, just steps from the Battery Point Lighthouse.

I always thought it would be wonderful to be the lighthouse keeper.

That is an assignment many have taken over the years, and it is an opportunity that is available to you for a year at a time. In the 1800s, the lighthouse keeper would be assigned for many years, and several went mad. The lighthouse is quite the tourist attraction, and is accessible during low tide. High tide makes it impossible to get to, unless you are prepared to swim to Battery Point. The St. George Reef Lighthouse is a point of interest, built six miles off shore and visible from the beach on a very clear day. Its construction was completed in 1892 in response to numerous accidents in the turbulent waters off the coast and the wreck of the Brother Jonathan, a steamer that crashed into a rock and sunk within one hour, sending 235 souls to a watery grave. Part of the

rich history of Crescent City, this lighthouse was the most expensive ever built, and also one of the most dangerous. In 1952, waves crashed into the lantern room, more than 150 feet above sea level. It is not manned today.

Crescent City has been subject to great disasters, including the Good Friday tsunami of 1964, which wiped out half the town and drained the harbor dry, and the tsunami of March 2011, which destroyed 35 boats and wiped out much of the harbor. You've got to be tough to make it in this town.

The fun stuff: Ocean World is wonderful! Everyone takes pictures on the surfboard out front. The Redwoods, of course (you can't miss 'em!). Trees of Mystery, featuring the Skytrail tram ride over the tops of the giant trees, and the anatomically correct Babe the Blue Ox and talking giant Paul Bunyan. There are the beautiful homes along Pebble Beach Drive, and Brookings, Ore., is just 30 miles away. There's a lot to love in this remote part of Northern California.

Leave by 7:30 am and you will be on the beach by noon. Have a great time!

WHAT’S IN STORE

| JAMES MAZZOTTA, ENJOY THE STORE

{Stories} our

PRODUCTS TELL

J A M E S M A Z Z OT TA E N J OY T H E S TO R E

ENJOY: What was your original vision for the store?

JAMES: It all started with, “Our products tell stories.” Our plan was to have a brick-and-mortar location for all the incredible artisans we talked about in the magazine to allow customers to be able to touch and see all of their products. It’s such a different experience when you can actually pick up a soap in your hand, smell it and feel the texture of it, rather than just reading someone’s words about it. It’s the difference between reading about locally produced music and hearing it with your own ears. It’s more about being able to experience a product yourself before you buy it.

We went to Phillips Brothers Mill and asked them to create some of their wooden boxes, known here at Enjoy the Store as crates, made using the oldest operational steam-driven sawmill in the country. We wanted something sweet to hold treasures for gifting to family members, friends and business associates. After all, gifting is a big part of what we do here. It’s a great way to share all of the amazing agriculture and artisan-made wares. Initially, we had three crate sizes – the small, medium and large. Since then, we’ve added a flat rate (if it fits, it ships!), the pie box and our newest addition to the family, the recipe box.

ENJOY: How has it changed over the past six years?

JAMES: The biggest change is the number of products we are able to showcase in the store. When the recession hit, many people lost their jobs and found themselves looking for something to fill the void. It prompted some of the vendors to return to their creative roots, to work in mediums that are part of their family histories. If there is one thing about creative people, it’s that they know how to take lemons and make lemonade.

We’ve expanded our selection by offering a number of the products people have come in asking about or that we discover. For example, on one of our trips to the coast, we discovered Dick Taylor Chocolates.

Dustin Taylor and Adam Dick were wood boat builders who moved into making artisan chocolate. They explain that the time and care required for fitting a mortice or shaping a plank is not unlike the

process of hand-crafting chocolate from the bean. They also live an artisan lifestyle by playing bluegrass/folk music. We carry their chocolate bars, drinking chocolate and CDs. We’ve tried to establish a few more “sections” in the store, like the “honey hutch” with all things bees – not just honey, but beeswax candles and more. We’ve expanded our olive oil and balsamic vinegar selections, and we are expanding the offerings within some of our product lines.

ENJOY: Tell us a bit about what the store is like today.

JAMES: Wow! It’s hard to believe we opened our doors six years ago.

The store is jam packed full of goodies. We have more than 1,000 vendors now. We weren’t sure we would have enough when we started, but the incredible talent in the area has afforded us the opportunity to fill it to the brim with local treasures. Every day when I walk into the store, I’m inspired by the creativity of people here in the North State.

We’ve expanded a couple times within the space we have, nearly quadrupling the space we started with, which, of course, means stealing more and more space from the magazine offices.

ENJOY: Are there any big changes planned in the near (or far) future?

JAMES: We would love to expand our space and offer selections of larger items, like furniture. But that’s probably a bit down the road.

We’ve got plans to expand our Enjoy-branded products. New ideas are always formulating in our heads, but with a lean crew, it sometimes takes a little time to get these great ideas to materialize.

ENJOY: Why do people love Enjoy the Store?

JAMES: They love supporting local businesses and local artisans, knowing that their money stays local. They love knowing where the items they’re purchasing come from and a bit of the history behind those who made it. And there are just so many wonderful things to see, like the huge eight-foot Ferris wheel puzzle or the beautiful wooden bar. It’s really a nice break from the world to come in and explore. Of course, they love the warmth and interaction from the staff. Our staff knows so much about the products and the vendors that create them, and they take the time to make your experience enjoyable. • Hand lettered “six” banner by Lion and Lamb Co. 6” caramel drip birthday cake by Cupcakes for the Kingdom

GIVING BACK

Power of Pink

T H E 2 0 T H A N N I V E R S A RY O F T H I N K P I N K

PINK EVERYTHING. Bags, balloons, t-shirts, flowers, ribbons. Even the Sundial Bridge is lit up pink.

All this and more will take place on Think Pink Day, which is Oct. 20 this year, and fittingly so, since it is Nor-Cal Think Pink’s 20th anniversary.

“In 1996, Melody Christenson, Dr. Michael Figueroa and Carol Lake decided that they wanted to spread awareness better throughout the North State on the early detection of breast cancer,” says Nor-Cal Think Pink Board President Erika Wiechman. “Our area was really lacking in the early education aspect, so they came up with this idea to hand out educational bags.”

The trio handed out 500 bags, not knowing what it would become. Today, volunteers will pass out eight times as many bags as when they started 20 years ago.

“I wanted to know how we got to 40,000 bags, so I went through binder by binder, year by year, and figured out how many bags we did each year,” Wiechman says. “Our grand total, as of Think Pink Day this year, we will have handed out 568,500 bags.

It was amazing. I knew it had been a lot, but it was more than I could have even imagined.”

More than 14,000 of the 40,000 bags will be handed out in 35 outreach areas, which encompass Shasta, Trinity, Tehama, Siskiyou, Humboldt, Modoc and Plumas counties. The remaining bags will be handed out in Redding, beginning at 6 am, at two locations in the form of a drivethrough: KIXE on North Market Street and the post office on Churn Creek Road. The bags include a special 20th anniversary edition breast health calendar, shower card, pen, window cling and other breast health resource materials. Later in the day is4 continued on page 94

the lighting of the Sundial Bridge, which takes place from 5:30 to 8 pm.

This free, family-friendly event will include health booths, live music, food vendors and medical professional and survivor speakers, all under the pink lights of the Sundial Bridge.

This past March marked a huge milestone for Think Pink. On Saturday, March 12, at the Red Lion Hotel at 7 pm, Think Pink held its first formal fundraiser: the Pretty in Pink Prom. About 200 people dressed to the nines and enjoyed appetizers, live music and raffle prizes.

“People showed up before 7 and stayed until the DJ cut them off. It was crazy,” says Think Pink President-Elect Renee Gunlogson.

Along with honoring breast cancer survivors and the volunteers that helped with the event, Think Pink launched its Beyond the Bag campaign that night.

“In the past, we’ve always been about Think Pink Day—everything we’ve worked on was always leading up to Think Pink Day—collecting sponsors, getting the educational materials, handing out the bags and then we light the Sundial Bridge pink that evening,” says Wiechman.

“We’re still doing all of that, but we thought after 20 years, it was time to make it more year-round. Our way of doing that was launching Beyond the Bag.” This new initiative involves “trying to do things throughout the year versus doing everything in October,” Gunlogson says, including holding workshops and hosting educational booths at community events.

Think Pink has already hosted two booths, one at United Way’s Day of Action at Shasta College on June 21 and another at the Redding Rancheria Health Fair on August 3. The purpose of these booths is “getting more of a one-on-one with women,” says Wiechman. “We have breast health models who are showing women how to do breast health exams, because when they do it properly, they have a higher chance of finding it early, which then equals the 98 percent cure rate. That’s our ultimate goal, to catch it early.”

The first workshop was Sept. 14 at Shasta Community Health Center.

“What we’re trying to do is just get the word out about breast health,” board member Pam Ward says. “We’re giving them some facts about how important it is to start your mammograms at 40, if there’s a family history to start it sooner than that, doing breast self-exams starting at 20 and seeing your doctor every year. And I’m going to be teaching how to do a self breast exam.”

There are many ways to be a part of Think Pink Day—handing out bags, helping with set up and tear down of the Sundial Bridge lighting event, making a donation or purchasing Think Pink gear to wear. To help or donate, email info@norcalthinkpink.com.

“Anything to further reach women with our important message that early detection saves lives is always our goal,” says Gunlogson. • www.norcalthinkpink.org Find them on Facebook and Twitter
