OCTOBER 2013 Happy birthday to us! October marks seven years that we have been sharing the North State’s most inspirational stories and photographs with you. Never did we imagine that our crazy idea would have become what it is today – a magazine that still makes us burst with pride every time the truck delivers those beautiful boxes every month. Not only does it represent the hard work of our publishers, editors, photographers, designers and advertising salespeople, but it also represents the fabric of our community – the incredible people, fascinating places, forward-thinking advertisers and devoted readers that make this such a delightful place to live. This month is no exception, and we’re thrilled to peek into the life of John Martin Streeby, the creative mind behind the metal sculptures scattered around the North State. We’re particularly fond of the salmon that leap from Highway 44’s median. Our arts scene seems to get more robust by the month, and Michael Franti’s upcoming appearance at the Cascade Theatre seems to underscore that. “I want to make music that makes people feel excited to live,” he says. We love a good people-helping-people story, and Restoration Enterprises is a perfect example of that. This business gives folks the opportunity to change their lives with a helping hand, not a handout, and the results speak for themselves. What’s better than having a fantastic time while helping charity? The Rising Stars Gala benefits Whiskeytown Environmental School and Schreder Planetarium, and Music and Merlot will help keep music alive in three Cottonwood schools. Sip some vino, enjoy some home-grown music, visit with friends and help kids learn more about science and the arts – it’s a can’t-lose prospect. Of course, October is also the perfect time to reap a harvest of fun, and we’ll share tips for picking a perfect pumpkin, cooking up some fall treats, crafting like a pro and dressing for trick-or-treat success. It will be a smashing good time. Celebrate with us! Thank you for seven exhilarating years, and we look forward to many more.

BY KIMBERLY BONéy
Spooktacular a f east o f f u n f or t h e h allo w ee n seaso n October is the perfect time to reap a harvest of joy with your family and friends. With so many wonderful things to do, your social calendar will be full before you know it. Embrace your sense of adventure, round up your little pumpkins and see what fun awaits you in the North State. The Perfect Pumpkin Hunt: One of the greatest blessings of living here is the access we have to local farms (pickyourown.org). What could be more fun than bundling up in the crisp fall air and hunting for the perfect pumpkin? With so many varieties available, everyone in your family is likely to find one with its own unique flair. Pumpkins are weighed by the pound at most farms, and although the rate per pound is typically comparable to that of your local supermarket, we guarantee hunting for your own is a lot more fun than buying one that’s been picked for you. Many local farms have an abundance of delectable fruits and vegetables due to what farmers are calling a “super year.” While you are pumpkin hunting, ask what other goodies the farm may have available for purchase and you may just save yourself a trip to the supermarket altogether. Cook Up Some Fun: Pumpkins are good for more than just carving the perfect jacko-lantern. Make dinner preparation a family affair by assigning each person a dish to prepare. Roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pies, soups, purees and casseroles are only the tip of the iceberg. Pinterest.com is sure to have you drooling for hours on end with the plethora of pumpkin recipes. You could always go old school, tie on your apron, and see just how delicious it can be to season everything with love—no recipe required.4 continued on page 14 october 2013 ENJOY | 13
A Day of Family Fun: Lace up your sneakers, grab your sweaters and head on out to Hawes Farms (historichawesfarms.com) for a full day—or several—of family fun. In addition to the huge variety of attractions, every weekend in October is themed with a different family friendly event. The admission fee includes many of the attractions, so be prepared for plenty of fun! Nash Ranch (nashranch.com), another North State favorite, boasts a weekly craft faire, free kids’ activities, wooden photo boards and good old fashioned family fun. Each week, a different youth group is invited to work and retain funds from all concession sales and parking lot donations. If you are in the market for beautiful and natural harvest inspired décor, Nash Ranch has decorative corn, miniature straw bales and stunning gourds available for purchase.
Check out Downtown Chico’s “Treat Street” event on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 2 to 5 pm (downtownchico.net). Children 12 and under are invited to dress in costume, bring a parent and collect treats at nearly 60 participating businesses. Who says the kids won’t get to wear their costumes more than once? Play Dress Up: Part of the fun of Halloween is finding the perfect costume. Local thrift stores, vintage shops and pop-up Halloween boutiques are a lovely place to find inspiration. Many shops stock up all year for Halloween season, so get ready for a treasure hunt! If you can’t find what you are looking for in a store, you can always create your own unique costume. Websites like Pinterest.com and Etsy.com can plant the seed of creativity while local craft, fabric and thrift shops—and even garage sale finds—can help bring your vision to life. Get Your Craft On: We’re bound to catch a few raindrops this month. Use those rainy days to spend some quality time with your inner artiste! Grab some paint, paintbrushes, a small drop cloth, an old wooden frame, wire, glue and the funkiest old buttons you can find and create this adorable harvest inspired work of art: www.indulgy. com/post/ncuqBvTzK1/halloween-crafts-buttons. Don’t worry if it doesn’t turn out exactly as it appears in the photo. Part of the fun of it is allowing the creativity to take over and following your heart to create a keepsake you’ll treasure for years to come.4 continued on page 16

Get Spooked: If you are looking for an adventure that will knock your socks off, the North State has plenty to offer by way of fearfilled fun. Lake Shasta Caverns (lakeshastacaverns.com) celebrates its second annual “Outbreak at Lake Shasta Caverns,” where a Zombie Apocalypse seems to be in full swing. Nash Ranch offers both a mild and intense version of “The Dreams of Darkness.” Hawes Farms offers three distinctly haunting experiences: “Zombie Slayer—The Ultimate Paintball Experience,” “Field of Screams” and “Carnival of Fear.” Each venue offers a unique perspective on the traditional haunted house, so it’s worth it to check out all three. These are not for young children or the faint of heart, folks! Become One with Nature and History: Cooler temperatures create the perfect atmosphere for a day of discovery. Take a drive to Old Shasta’s Masonic Cemetery (11471 Mule Town Road), founded in 1864. It’s fascinating to see the family lineage—and the sheer age—of some of the graves there. Or enjoy a beautiful and leisurely drive to Eureka and check out The Haunted History Ghost Tours (oldtownhauntedhistorytours.com). This 90-minute guided tour will regale you with the rich and often unexplainable history that has befallen the quaint Old Town area. Bring your walking shoes and warm clothing and prepare to be enchanted. Trick-or-Treat: It’s October 31. You’ve found the perfect Halloween ensemble, crazy hair and make-up are in full effect, the cool night air is blowing on your face and you have a bag ready to load up with candy. What could be better? Not much—except the assurance that even if it rains, or if you are looking for an alternative to the neighborhood trick-or-treating of yesteryear, you and your family can still have a rip-snorting good time together on Halloween. Enter the Harvest Festival at Big League Dreams in Redding. Sponsored by Little Country Church (littlecountrychurch.org), this family friendly event (no scary costumes allowed) features game booths, face painting, use of the batting cages and much more, all for free. And if you would rather “treat” someone else to some fun on Halloween, there is plenty of joy to be had in passing out candy to trickor-treaters while checking out all of the costumes that make their way to your door. Bonus points if you dress in costume to greet your trick-or-treaters. Have a Smashing Good Time: The fun isn’t over when October comes to a close. Hawes Farms has its annual pumpkin smashing on Nov. 2. All the pumpkins not harvested will be ripe for the smashing. We’re talking baseball bats and pumpkins… you do the math! • Kimberly N. Bonéy, proud wife and mother, moved to Redding in 2008. Kimberly has a bachelor of arts in English with an emphasis in creative writing from Louisiana State University. As the former owner of The Kimberly Nicole Boutique in downtown Redding, Kimberly considers herself a connoisseur of all things fashionable.

metal art i st jo h n mart i n streeby The endeavors John Martin Streeby pours his time and energy into carry a common element. There’s a definite connection between metal sculpture art, poetry and the sport of fencing. “It’s about recognizing rhythmic patterns in sculpture, or in language or in movements,” he says. “I’ve just been compelled to do those kinds of activities.” In the North State, Martin Streeby is probably best known as the creator of the stainless steel salmon sculptures that appear to leap
from the medians at the intersection of Cypress Avenue, Pine and Market streets in Redding. He also created the salmon, trio of turtles and pair of eagles that populate the Highway 44 median between downtown Redding and the Sacramento River. One of Martin Streeby’s sculptures greets visitors in front of View 202 restaurant in Redding, and his abstract metal twists can be found atop the dividers at Cicada Cantina, another Redding eatery. A series of his salmon, including 9- and 12-foot versions, are displayed at the4 continued on page 20 october 2013 ENJOY | 19
“ It was a very visible project and I got a lot of work from it,” Martin Streeby says. “It’s a real outdoorsy town. Everybody knows the fish.”

Coleman National Fish Hatchery near Anderson. Prior to living in the North State, Martin Streeby saw a series of iron sculptures in Taos, N.M., and had an “I can do that” moment. He began to focus in earnest on his own creations, and even began to earn contract work while living in El Paso, Texas, in the mid-1990s. “I bought a plasma cutter and started doing silhouettes, things like Kokopellis, garden art, birds and cranes,” he says. “The first attraction was working in a forge, banging on things and making sparks. I just liked the malleability and the things you can do with metal.” He moved to Redding in 1998 with his wife Michelle and her son, Skeeter, after Michelle landed a job as the Record Searchlight’s marketing director. ( John Martin Streeby also has a son, David, who lives near Portland, Ore.) That year, while his work was being displayed at the Old City Hall Christmas Art Sale, he met former Redding City Manager Mike Warren, who told him about the city’s Art in Public Places program. The meeting led to his commission for the original salmon project. “It was a very visible project and I got a lot of work from it,” Martin Streeby says. “It’s a real outdoorsy town. Everybody knows the fish.” Many of Martin Streeby’s more abstract pieces appeared in Redding’s Gallery 833, which helped him secure a number of private commissions. For larger or multiple pieces, he often works with Greg Barnhart of NorCal Metal Fabricators in Anderson. He enjoys the blend of art and design that continually challenge his intellect and creativity. “You can’t just offer one thing,” Martin Streeby says. “You have to be able to do it all. Every project becomes a
new adventure of how you are going to build something.” Metal sculpture art is but one dimension of Martin Streeby’s colorful life. Born in Sioux City, Iowa, he served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, working as a surgical technician at the 85th EVAC Hospital in Phu Bai. When he returned home in 1972 after an 11-month tour, he began expressing in poetry what he had experienced during the conflict. “It was a process of self-discovery… exploration and discovery,” he says. After a stint at Iowa State, Martin Streeby worked in the construction field and later attended schools for both horseshoeing and light horse management. He began to groom, train and shoe horses all over the country. His horse jobs took him to Iowa, Minnesota, Florida, Ohio, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and California. He began fencing while attending Iowa State in 1973 and fenced nearly every day. After dropping the sport for several years, he picked the saber back up in the late 1980s in Albuquerque and even trained under iconic U.S. fencing champion Andy Shaw. Martin Streeby continues to fence and teach the sport to this day. “I never liked team sports,” he says. “Fencing is individual and I enjoy the whole timing and rhythm of it.” And that can be said for his love of poetry and metal art, as well. For more information about Martin Streeby’s work, e-mail him at jmarti3470@shasta.com. •

If you ask Debi Stuhr how she got interested in chickens, she’ll tell you she’s always had an affinity for them. “When I was a little girl I had chickens,” she says, fondly remembering her days growing up in rural Riverside. There was a time when the former casino executive couldn’t keep them, though. A 30-year stint in the Las Vegas heat was good for a career, but miserable for keeping animals, chickens in particular. Just like a gambler’s luck will eventually run out, however, so does a country girl’s ability to withstand city life. Eventually, Stuhr felt “the mad desire to get away from Las Vegas” and began a search for country property that landed her on the edge of Red Bluff surrounded by walnut trees on land with rich, river loam soil. “As soon as I left Las Vegas, I started acquiring all the animals I couldn’t have in Vegas,” she says. One may say that her time in Vegas rubbed off on her in unwitting ways, however. Stuhr didn’t just start raising any old garden variety chicken. She specialized in exotic and rare breeds. Her pastures and pens are filled with stunningly feathered beauties with fancy names like Black Copper Maran, Northern California Poulet Bleu and Orpingtons in buff, blue and lavender.4 continued on page 24 october 2013 ENJOY | 23
“It’s a massive hobby, that’s what it is,” she says of the project that started out small and grew quickly to include a website and shipments of fertilized eggs all over the United States and other countries. “I don’t think there’s a state in this country that I haven’t shipped birds to, and that includes Alaska and Hawaii.” “I’ve got quite a name for myself across the country now,” she says. “I didn’t really plan it that way, but now people seem to know Debi from Heaven Sent Ranch.” It turns out that the exotic poultry business is just as filled with intrigue and controversy as any other industry where animals can be raised for show. “It’s no different than dog breeding or horse breeding,” says Stuhr. “The American Kennel Association has nothing on the American Poultry Association.” The Northern California Poulet Bleus are a prime example. “That breed is very controversial in this country, but the meat is amazing,” she says. The breed was developed in France to be a fully self-sustaining bird with exquisite breast meat. Known there as Poulet de Bresse, the breed has been carefully guarded to protect its genetic integrity. Through various means, some legitimate and some not, Poulet de Bresse eggs have ended up in the United States and flocks have developed. Just like sparkling wine is forbidden to be labeled Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region, so too is it illegal to refer to the American birds as Poulet de Bresse. Stuhr’s flock started when she was gifted a box of 360 fertilized eggs. She had room in her incubator for only 240, so she asked a friend to help her hatch them out. They ended up with 86 chicks. The original flock from which the eggs came had been destroyed after the owner failed to fetch his asking price of $65,000 for 400 birds. A ranch foreman came across the box of eggs after the flock was gone and gave them to Stuhr to see what
24 | Enjoy october 2013
she could get out of them. Many of her breeds now have waiting lists of up to two years for fertilized eggs or live birds. Stuhr’s chickens are often bought to be show birds, but she’s not interested in taking hers on the road. “There are more diseases that can kill chickens than you can imagine,” she says. “And they will always kill your most expensive bird first, without fail.” She also notes that, “There’s a certain aspect to a person’s personality to be in competition with an animal.” She doesn’t have it and she doesn’t want it. Instead, Stuhr is content to watch her chickens roam across her ever-expanding stretches of pasture. She incubates in an old redwood incubator made by Leahy Manufacturing Company, which stopped production in 1973. She is interested in developing opportunities for young people to get involved in the poultry business and would like to see the industry produce better show opportunities for youth. “I go to some amazing shows,” she says, acknowledging their power to educate and promote poultry husbandry. As her work expands, especially with young people, she may just need to start buying paper by the ream. What started out as a small hobby has come to the point where she says, “I have to keep my birds on a spreadsheet or I’ll forget what I have.” • www.heavensentranch.com

The near deafening roar of engines, the aroma of burnt rubber, high octane fuel and the up-closeand-personal seat at Shasta Speedway keep Tony “Big T” Montgomery coming back year after year as a race track official. Auto racing is his passion and soon he will signal the cars onto the track during the 2013 Speedfest on Oct. 18-20 at the Shasta District Fairgrounds as another season of racing winds up in Anderson. “I have the best seat at the track, as far as I’m concerned,” says Montgomery, a key official at the track for 18 years.
He feels fortunate to be alive doing what he loves the most, as the 56-year-old Anderson High grad survived 23 strokes in three days only seven years ago. “I shouldn’t have lived, but I did, thanks to a special Stanford surgeon and a lot of people who supported me during that time,” he says. He was at work at O’Reilly’s Auto Parts the day he had a dizzy spell, but didn’t seek medical help until a day later. After an initial CAT scan didn’t show anything, the news was pretty earthshaking when an MRI scan revealed he had a blocked carotid artery and two blocked veins in his brain that landed him in a local intensive care unit for three weeks. “My doctor knew of a surgeon who did specialty surgeries so he sent me to the Stanford Medical Center specialist who did an experimental surgical procedure,” Montgomery explains. The two veins were extracted, the blockage removed and the veins were re-attached. The surgery was nothing short of a miracle as it took care of the problem.4 continued on page 30
october 2013 ENJOY | 29
Montgomery missed a couple racing seasons, but he was soon back in the saddle again at the track. “The guys held a fundraiser for me to help with medical expenses and it was awesome,” says Montgomery, holding back tears of appreciation. “I still get choked up at what they did for me.” His Speedway career began working for race official Dick Blake in the track’s infield. It wasn’t long before the big man with the big heart for racing and his family was tagged “Big T.” The name stayed throughout his Speedway years. “Later I took another post, riding a quad runner for five to six more years,” he says. “I was a flagger for one night only because it was too nerve-wracking trying to keep up with all the action all over the track.” About eight years ago, he became the main man re-entering cars onto the track and he’s been there ever since, donning white pants, a pair of safety gloves and a red official shirt. He coordinates the race track action on radios with the flag man. When there’s a spinout on the track, Montgomery goes into action, helping the flag man slow the pack down and regrouping the cars so racing can continue. “It’s been an awesome experience all those years working for five different race promoters,” Montgomery says. “I’ve loved it all, anywhere I worked at the track.” There have also been Speedway changes, with the smaller oval track giving way to a larger one a few years ago. And of course, the cars and drivers change, too. The race season generally starts in April; race night begins at 7 pm and includes heat laps, trophy dashes and main events. Once the pit crew starts the lineup, Montgomery takes over, signaling one car after another onto the track. If there is an incident, crash or other mishap during the race, the yellow
30 | Enjoy october 2013
caution flag goes up and Montgomery goes into action, giving the drivers signals as they make laps around the track. He’s seen his share of crashes along the concrete wall that sent him reeling for safety a time or two. But, he always comes back for more of an action-packed sport. • Virginia Reeter began a lengthy journalism career in the mid 1960s, straight out of high school.

Old-time fiddlers are often asked to tell the difference between a violin and a fiddle. Some say a violin is carried in a case and a fiddle in a gunny sack. The organizers of this year's Western Open Fiddle Championships are saying simply, “Violins sing, but fiddles dance!�4 continued on page 34
october 2013 ENJOY | 33
There’s sure to be a lot of both singing and dancing at the 31st annual Western Open, to be held Oct. 24-26 at the Tehama District Fairgrounds in Red Bluff. The performance of old-time fiddle music continues a tradition of sound that once served as the primary entertainment of men and women founding this country. Fiddles were carried across wagon trains as cherished items when space was at a premium and were pulled out for everything from campfire singing to parlor dances to barn-raising celebrations. Today’s performers learn Irish jigs, Scottish hornpipes, English quadrilles, waltzes and schottisches handed down over multiple generations and across thousands of miles. While there will be champion-level music performed at the contest, some visitors never make it beyond the parking lot, where free-form jams pick up spontaneously with songs that may not play well with judges, but incorporate a musician’s whimsy with jazz, Dixieland, bluegrass and Western Swing. “There is a huge heritage of fiddling here in the North State,” says Sharon Barrett, a co-organizer of the Western Open, along with her husband, Loosely Strung bass player Tex Ash. Talk to anyone involved in the art long enough and you’ll hear reference to “the fiddle family.” “All over Northern California, we have this fiddling community, usually centered around a teacher,” says Adrienne Jacoby, a retired
34 | Enjoy october 2013
music teacher and the mother of J’Anna Jacoby, who grew up in Redding as a fiddler and went on to become a professional musician in Rod Stewart’s band. “It’s all about sharing the music,” Barrett says of the jams that have been known to incorporate musicians from age 3 to 91. “There’s no class system in fiddling. There’s just not much snobbery out there.” There are rules, however, and at a fiddle contest, contestants must play three tunes in four minutes, including a hoe-down, a waltz and a personal choice that is neither a hoe-down nor a waltz. Eight fiddle divisions include seven age groups and an open category. Two twin fiddle divisions showcase melody and harmony played together. Two picking divisions feature talents on guitar, banjo or mandolin. Finally, the juke box division is considered a chance to show off with tunes from the juke box era. Contestants often don costumes and perform with stage decorations. In this division, “the whole idea is to entertain,” says Barrett. The North State’s fiddle family has raised many kids who have become professional musicians, including members of Crooked Still and bands supporting such performers as Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam and Pam Tillis. They also grow up to be teachers continuing the tradition of fiddle music, like Abbie Ehorn at Evergreen School in Cottonwood and Martha Boyle, who runs Cottonwood Performing Arts Center with a 4 continued on page 36

full fiddle program for people of all ages. Boyle competed in her first Western Open in 1992 at age 12 and became a board member when she was 19. Her three daughters, Clara, Caite and Cora, ages 5-8, have all competed in the Western Open. “It’s a second language,” says Boyle. “You speak through your instrument.” A highlight of this year’s Western Open will be the much-anticipated appearance of Calvin Volrath, considered the godfather of Canadian fiddling. “He’s been trying to get here for 25 years,” says Ash. Calvin will be a judge Friday and Saturday and will give his own performance at 8:30 Friday night. “There’s a lilt to it,” Barrett says of the nuances of Canadian fiddling. Also much anticipated is the repeat appearance of Billy and the Hillbillies, regular performers at Disneyland, known as much for their comedy as their musicianship. “They like our crowd and they love Red Bluff,” says Ash. Fiddle music is acoustic and is not amplified. A partnership with Tehama County’s Sun Country Quilters brings in quilts that not only create an ambiance in the concert hall, but help with sound quality. From quilts to mentorship to spontaneous jams, there always seems to be something happening to elevate the sound and carry on the tradition. Whether in the parking lot or at the stage, tunes of yesteryear will waft through the fairgrounds in Red Bluff this month. Toe tapping welcome.

BY melissa Gulden
Whether the heat is still going strong or it officially feels like fall, autumn is the perfect time to prepare a new skincare routine, since cooler weather is on the way. Situated between the hottest and coldest seasons of the year, fall is a great time for skincare and beauty transitions. Summer is one of the most damaging times of year for skin: the combination of seawater, chlorine and sunscreen can really take a toll on the skin, which means it’s essential to repair and prepare skin for the chilly season. As fall progresses and creeps into winter, make a few changes and do a few things to care for your skin and promote a healthy glow.
2 3
Gentle Cleansing Now is the time to use a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of vital oils. Harsh cleansers will only add to dry skin, causing it to look older. Select a creamy cleanser if you have dry skin or a gel-type cleanser for oily skin. And stick with warm water, which will help loosen dirt from your pores without damaging your skin. And always remove your makeup before you go to bed each night.
Daily Sunscreen Don’t retire your sunscreen. Skin is still susceptible to UV damage during the fall and winter seasons. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, rain or shine.
Exfoliate Many people skip exfoliation in their skincare routine, but adding this step can show immediate results in brightening your complexion. At-home facial scrubs and microdermabrasion kits make it easy: these products remove the top layer of dead skin cells that tend to dull your complexion. Retinoids are also a favored skin booster. They work by removing the top layer of dead skin while encouraging the production of collagen, the skin’s structural fiber. As we age, production of natural collagen decreases, so encouraging it can plump up the skin and help diminish the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Exfoliating your skin is an important step in any season, but especially as your skin becomes drier. Using a scrub or mask two or three times a week will slough away dead skin while polishing the surface of your skin. This process also increases cellular turnover and allows your other skincare products the opportunity to be more effective.
4
Moisture While you may have been able to get away with an easy-breezy daily routine over the summer, your skin is going to need a bit more protection and moisture when the weather cools, and that tinted moisturizer probably isn’t hydrating enough. Pair a lightweight daytime moisturizer with a richer nighttime formula to keep your skin comfortable when temperatures drop. If your skin is on the oily side, don’t forgo moisturizing products—even oily and acne-prone skin gets drier in the winter. In fact, if your skin doesn’t get the moisture it needs your skin might actually start to overproduce oil to make up for it.4 continued on page 40 october 2013 ENJOY | 39
5
Omega 3s Adding an omega 3 supplement to your diet encourages healthier cell functions. Not only has this essential fatty acid proven to be extremely beneficial for your health, it has also been shown to promote improved skin. Omega 3s are important for keeping your cell membranes strong and supple, which in turn shows in the reflection of your skin. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water during the day, which will assist in maintaining plump cells and will keep dehydration at bay. If your cells become dehydrated it will show in your skin as your lines and wrinkles become more pronounced.
Seasonal transitions are a great time to make positive changes in your skincare routine, so take this time to decide what your skin needs. When in doubt, ask your dermatologist to recommend a specific product, especially if you have sensitive skin that reacts to environmental changes like cold weather. Small changes and consistent care can make a big difference in skin appearance. The overall appearance and health of your skin will be your reward. •

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and October 21st is National Mammography day.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/ AN) women. In the past, breast cancer in AI/AN was rare. However, the last two decades have seen a large increase in both incidence and mortality rates. AI/ AN have the lowest five-year survival rate compared to other ethnic groups. Poor health care access “is not to blame for low breast cancer screening and survival rates among AI/AN native women has more to do with cultural beliefs than with barriers such as access to health care”, a new UC Davis study has found. Cleo (shown in picture) is a breast cancer survivor. She is a longtime resident of Red Bluff and is a Native American. She was diagnosed this year with stage one breast cancer. Studies noted a mass in the right breast. While continuing to monitor, the third biopsy was found to be stage 1 invasive breast cancer. She has gone through surgery, 6 weeks of radiation and will continue on oral medication for the next three years. Based on her strong beliefs, positive outlook and support from family and friends and her “Joy” for life continues, along with her preventative care.

“Can you hear the sound? A little bit of rhythm makes the world go round.” It’s a musical question Michael Franti has been asking for two decades, and the rhythm in his voice is very much helping the world go round—on an orbit marked by compassion, unity and social justice. His music is a highly danceable blend of hip-hop, reggae, folk and pop that has the power to keep thousands on their feet for hours. His infectious style allows him to deliver powerful messages about topics as serious as war and the death penalty and as life-affirming as the beauty of sunshine. In his newest recording, “All People,” which he’ll be supporting at his Oct. 9 concert at the Cascade Theatre,
Franti again has focused his sizable energy reserves on mostly positive matters. “These songs are about the power of unconditional love, born out of tough times. It’s rare to find someone who accepts you being your own authentic self and in the past I didn’t always give space for the broad spectrum of emotion, but this time I made an effort to write about everything I experience,” Franti says. “I want to make music that makes people feel excited to live.” That excitement is roof-rattling evident when Franti and his band, Spearhead, perform live. The dreadlocked, barefooted 6-foot-6 San Franciscan can’t stand still and neither can his audiences. The Cascade Theatre felt compelled to note on its website: “This event is a high energy and likely dancing in 4 continued on page 44 october 2013 ENJOY | 43

your seat event. Limited visibility sometimes occurs.” Dancing was the order of the day when Franti performed at the spring 2009 Strawberry Music Festival near Yosemite National Park. Prior to his appearance on the festival’s main stage, Franti put on a special children’s show on a small stage adjacent to playground equipment and a lake. Hayfork native and former Redding resident Kim Haswell and her daughter, Kennedy, remember it well. “Kennedy waited by Birch Lake all day to get a good seat in center front for the Franti kids’ concert. She was so excited, dancing all around, and to our surprise, Franti motioned for her to come up to the stage with him. She didn’t miss a beat; she sprinted up. Then, he called the rest of the kids up. It was a wonderful memory.” That easy outreach and ability to bring all ages and races together is not a stage act, says Kim Haswell’s husband, Rob, the business manager for the Auburn Symphony and a longtime Franti fan. “Franti’s music transcends generations, genres, language, racial boundaries and political divides,” Rob Haswell says. “When he sings about love and compassion—and those themes run throughout his music and live performances—it does not come across as trite or worn out or cliché. It is real.” Franti has long put his words into action. For 10 years, he hosted the Power to the Peaceful free concerts in San Francisco, originally to support political activist Mumia Abu Jamal and later to raise his voice against rising violence around the world. In 2004, he took his guitar and a video camera to Iraq, Israel and Palestine to look at war’s human toll with his own eyes. The resulting documentary, “I Know I’m Not Alone,” with Franti’s release “Yell Fire!” as the soundtrack, “came out of my frustration with watching the nightly news and hearing generals, politicians, and pundits explaining the political

and economic cost of the war in the Middle East, without ever mentioning the human cost. I wanted to hear about the war by the people affected by it most: doctors, nurses, poets, artists, soldiers, and my personal favorite, musicians,” Franti says in the prologue. Says Rob Haswell: “You can sum up Michael Franti in two words: Taxi Radio. In his worldwide travels, Franti discovered that those two words were the most well known English language words in the world. He wanted to write a song that everyone could sing, so he wrote ‘Taxi Radio’ and sang only those two words. It may be the most inclusive song ever written.” Redding musician and songwriter Jim Dyar, who’s also a fan, says he’s impressed with Franti’s ability to blend a variety of genres—hip-hop, soul, folk, rock—into sincere songs that are accessible but not trite. “He’s a great showman and a passionate ambassador for peace and awareness. But I really like his rebellious, rockin’ tunes that don’t mince any words when calling out the systematic failures we’re all facing as a society,” Dyar says. • Michael Franti and Spearhead perform at 7:30 pm Oct. 9 at the Cascade Theatre. Opening will be Ethan Tucker from Olympia, Wash. Tickets are $55 to $75; call (530) 243-8877 or visit www.cascadetheatre.org.

“There are a lot of people who have gone through some really difficult situations in our community. We look for people who want to change their situation.” -Robert Mainord
restoration enterprises helps restore lives
Restoration Road restoration enterprises provides the opportunit y to change lives
Restoration Enterprises is a humble, low-key operation, and if you ran across the name in the phone book you’d probably think it involved cleaning up flood- and fire-damaged homes. Substitute people for homes and you wouldn’t be too far off the mark. The nonprofit organization, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this month, is in the business of providing people with the opportunity to change their lives.4 continued on page 48

“We think it promotes self-esteem,” board member Maggie John says. “These are not just gifts; there’s some character building in the process,” Schaller adds. Sometimes it’s a relatively minor thing like a functioning bicycle an unlicensed parolee can use to get to that new job; other times it’s quite a bit more substantial, like a loan to help a working mother of two get out of a car and into an apartment. “Housing, transportation… those pieces are huge for these people,” says retired Shasta County Undersheriff Larry Schaller, chair of Restoration Enterprises’ board of directors. For Edward Polly, a recovering alcoholic who works as a bike mechanic in Restoration’s warehouse off of South Market Street, the organization “was the cornerstone of how I changed my life.” Originally ordered by the court to work in the warehouse as the result of a drunken driving conviction, Polly returned as a volunteer once his community service obligations were met. He was ultimately added to the payroll and now has what he considers his ideal job. “I love the program and I love the fellowship,” Polly says while puttering in a workshop packed with rims, tires, sprockets and other reclaimed and donated bike components. He interacts daily with people struggling to reclaim lives lost to substance abuse, crime and other setbacks and helps set them up with low-cost transportation. Polly also helps run the Christmas bike giveaway program for underprivileged youth, which Restoration Enterprises inherited from

the Redding Rodeo Association and the Shasta County Sheriff ’s detention annex. He calls them “random acts of kindness to make amends to the faceless victims of my past.” Schaller and the other board members call Polly another success story and a smiling, tattooed example of how a person can help himself when presented with the opportunity. Giving people that chance is at the foundation of Restoration Enterprises, created in 1998 in response to a new community corrections plan adopted by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors. Originally designed to help offenders integrate back into the community, the organization has broadened its scope to include help for others who are disadvantaged. The key is a helping hand, not a handout. Refurbished bikes are sold, typically in the $20 to $40 range, because Restoration believes a modest investment instills a sense of ownership. Housing assistance loans to help with the first-and-last month’s rent and security deposit hurdles are interestfree but repayment is expected. “We think it promotes self-esteem,” board member Maggie John says. “These are not just gifts; there’s some character building in the process,” Schaller adds. Restoration doesn’t believe in handouts for itself, either. The organization sustains itself through an ambitious recycling program4 continued on page 50

operated out of its spacious warehouse on Veda Street. The organization accepts electronic waste—TVs, computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, etc.—for recycling at a plant in Sacramento. Last year it kept 103,000 tons of e-waste out of local landfills. It also accepts small and large appliances and any scrap metal, which it delivers to Northstate Recycling in Redding. Functioning desktop computers are refurbished, loaded with software and a licensed Microsoft operating system, matched with a flat-screen monitor and sold to students, seniors and nonprofit groups for $100 or $130, depending on the Windows program installed. Earlier this year, Restoration Enterprises proudly announced the sale of its Anderson-based auto shop to Jim Bell, who had managed the shop for 10 years. “To see Jim Bell in his own auto shop is a true success story. Jim has built the existing clientele and weathered tough economic times,” Schaller says. For his part, Bell says “Restoration Enterprises has blessed my family beyond measure.” Robert Mainord manages the busy warehouse, a position he earned after starting out as a volunteer. Like Polly, Mainord was a man with a checkered past who was able to turn things around, and now he’s paying it forward. “There are a lot of people who have gone through some really difficult situations in our community,” Mainord says. “We look for people who want to change their situation.”

The housing assistance program changed the situation for 22 clients in 2012, with loans totaling $10,990. Funds for the revolving loan program originally came from federal Community Development Block Grant funds. In the last two years, Restoration Enterprises has been able to help even more people into adequate housing, thanks to grants from The Women’s Fund of the Shasta Community Foundation, Sunset Rotary Club, US Bank and Redding Bank of Commerce. The housing assistance, bike program, computer refurbishing and recycling programs are all under the watchful eye of Sheila LaCoste, Restoration Enterprises’ business manager and a key staffer that Schaller says “has a heart bigger than the whole building.” “This is such a rewarding job, to be able to work where your passion is” says LaCoste, who has served the organization for eight years. • Restoration Enterprises • 3300 Veda St., Redding (530) 245-0500 • www.RestorationEnterprises.org

aces high n a n c i rogers ’ ace h i g h leat h ers Handmade in America is a practice Nanci Rogers highly values. An artist and entrepreneur, she has carved out a niche that bridges fashion and function in a culture where leather adorns both bodies and bikes. Not to be messed with, this petite fireball creates and embellishes custom leather products for others, then climbs on her 800-pound bike and rides away with looks of admiration following her. From hides to rides, Rogers knows her stuff. Rogers started riding motorcycles when she was 49. Today, at 57, she has blended two passions in leather work and motorcycle safety. Rogers conducts clinics, coaches novice riders and speaks at conventions about safe riding techniques. She is dedicated to “enhance motorcycle skills and help people become efficient, safe riders.” For seven years, she headed a group called Siskiyou Lady Riders and in 2012 organized a Ladies Ride at Big Bike Weekend in Redding. She’s been invited to attend the 2015 Blue Knights national convention for motorcycle cops in Reno. Rogers lost her job in 2005 and found herself at loose ends. She didn’t want a minimum wage job, but needed an income. Knowing that she dreams and thinks best with the road unraveling under her feet, her husband encouraged her to get on her bike and ride until she came up with some ideas.4 continued on page 56
Rogers’ menu of designs includes a range of products including gas cap covers, tank bibs and seat covers, as well as windshield and saddle bags. She has made archery sleeves, “half” chaps, belts, Bible covers, purses, bull riding chaps and more. Rogers takes pride in details, from design to color and layout.
She strives for excellence with each order.
october 2013 ENJOY | 55
The bud of an idea took shape as she continued to ride. She began to “play with leather,” birthing a passion that has blossomed into a unique business. With a “lust for color,” Rogers started embellishing her own bike and apparel. She launched Ace High Leathers at the 2006 Big Bike Weekend in Redding, where she became known as the “Bling Queen.” She and a team of helpers decorated commercially made chaps, gloves and purses with jewels, studs and fringe. Four years ago, Rogers had a revelation. She had advertised handmade products, but only embellished commercially made leather items. With no prior experience, Rogers has now built up a workshop loaded with four leather sewing machines and a room full of hand tools, dyes and everything needed for creating one-ofa-kind leather garments and motorcycle gear. Custom designs now truly represent her handmade promise. Clients choose quality and thickness of leather, color, embellishments and tooling designs. All designs are made to order with specified measurements.
Interesting, sometimes surprising challenges come with orders. A motorcycle cop from Texas requested a customized bike seat embellished with a border of .357 Magnum bullets, which won “Best of Show” at an event. Recently, a regular client from Chicago sent a zebra skin with tail attached and an order for a custom vest. Instructions demanded that the back of the vest be one piece with the tail hanging down. Another client with scoliosis needed a specially designed vest that would fit her frame. Using leather stays, Rogers fashioned a corset-style vest that allowed for the special needs of her client. A customer in Iceland sent motorcycle seats to be reupholstered. Another order requested custom chaps for a motorcyclist with a 56-inch waist. She’s been called “a personal leather person” by clients who say, “I trust your judgment.” Custom orders take time to create but her customers don’t seem to mind. They know their final product will be a work of art. There’s been a shift in the clientele as Rogers’ reputation grows and the website gets more hits. Orders have come in from as far away as Germany and Saudi Arabia, with inquiries from Spain, Australia and Italy, among others. The bud of an idea has flowered into a passion that blends perfectly with her love of motorcycle riding. Rogers says it’s not about the money. As her business builds, she says it’s about being a service to people and truly listening to what they envision. Her life philosophy seems best expressed by advice she gives new riders: “Whatever you focus on, that’s where you’re going to go.” • www.acehighleathers.com

stride right A M E R I C A N C A N C E R S O C I E T Y ’ S M A K IN G ST R ID E S AG A IN ST B R E A ST C A N C E R Since its inauguration in Redding four years ago, the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer annual fundraising walk has taken place in August, overshadowed by its wildly popular sister event, Relay For Life. Saturday, Oct. 12, participants and sponsors will step out of that shadow together at Turtle Bay’s Sundial Bridge in Redding, as the event takes place for the first time during Breast Cancer Awareness month. “The MSABC walk started in Boston and progressed throughout the U.S. as a staff-driven event in big cities,” says Matthew Foor, Distinguished Special Events Director with the California Division of the American Cancer Society. “About four years ago, ACS California decided to adapt it as a community event, utilizing all
volunteer committees supervised by a staff member.” Foor oversees committees in Redding, Chico and Marysville, part of a national campaign that since 1993 has attracted 8 million walkers who have raised more than $400 million, $65,000 of it from Shasta County since the 5K walk’s inception here in 2010. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer remains the number one public health concern facing women today. The Making Strides event exists not only to seed cutting-edge research and advocate for access to mammograms and treatment for all, but to provide free local education programs and support services. Key to its message is that women over age 40 should get a yearly mammogram and that low- or no-cost screenings are available to the underinsured, underserved and low-income.4 continued on page 60
“Women who need assistance can contact Soroptimist International of Redding by going to its website and clicking on breast cancer awareness,” says Judi Rumsey, Survivor Chair of this year’s event.

“Because of early intervention, we’re saving more and more lives,” Rumsey says. “Our cure rate has gone up tremendously. That’s what this walk is about. It provides information and gives people hope.”
“Women who need assistance can contact Soroptimist International of Redding by going to its website and clicking on breast cancer awareness,” says Judi Rumsey, Survivor Chair of this year’s event. Soroptimist has been helping women obtain mammograms for the past 15 years, and although men have yet to seek support from the organization, such services are available to them as well. The American Cancer Society estimates 2,240 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men this year and that slightly more than 400 will die from the disease. The fundraising goal for this year’s event is $45,000. “We have a great need for volunteers to join our planning committee,” Foor says. “We can use help with set-up, course monitoring, welcoming people and cheerleading for the walkers and teams.” As for Rumsey, breast cancer has touched her family profoundly. Her aunt, who was diagnosed in 1962 during Stage IV, lost her battle within three months. The following year, her mother was diagnosed but with successful treatment remained in remission for 35 years before succumbing in 2006 after a recurrence. Rumsey herself is a two-time cancer survivor who has been in remission for 18 years. “Because of early intervention, we’re saving more and more lives,”

It provides information and gives people hope.” Community members are invited to join event sponsors MD Imaging and North Valley Breast Clinic and media sponsors Results Radio, home of Q97’s Billy & Patrick, KRCR, KNVN, KHSL and FOX 20 to make more birthdays possible. • www.makingstrideswalk.org/redding www.cancer.org Saturday, Oct. 12 Registration at 7:30 am, walk begins at 8:30 am Rain or shine

Artist Lynda Lanker says women ranchers and cowgirls make good subjects because their character is so visible. “There is no veneer of style or barrier of ego to chip away. Their character is exposed, ready for expression in ink, paint or charcoal.” Lanker’s fine art, “Tough by Nature,” is a series of portraits of women ranchers and cowgirls from the American West that will be presented at Turtle Bay Exploration Park from Oct. 18 through Jan. 19. The project took 19 years to create. Traveling the western United States, Lanker met with 49 women capturing their spirits and their lives through art. One of her subjects, rancher Billie Roney of Chico, was moved when she first saw the finished portrait of herself. “I look like the weight of the world is on my back,” Roney says, explaining that the portrait embodies her determination and her profound sadness. “I thought I’d be shown a portrait of the typical smiling cowgirl.” Roney had been advocating for the cattle industry when Lanker came to interview her. “She took the time to listen to my tales of what was happening, how ranchers were suffering so many kinds
of economic as well as political blows from people who loathed but didn’t understand ranching and cattle at all,” Roney says. Though the process for each piece was the same, each portrait is unique. After Lanker spent time with each woman, she would sketch her subject and take photographs. For the portraits, she experimented with a variety of mediums, choosing the technique she felt best captured the subject’s character. The 49 portraits range from charcoal, oil pastel, acrylic and egg tempera to plate and stone lithography and drypoint engraving. Lanker says, “This 19-year sojourn has been almost like a second childhood for me, sitting, listening and watching these women. I learned from them, and they changed me… the resilience, character, and quiet strength of these extraordinary women will be with me forever.” When she was 11, she sat for her portrait and became inspired by art. It was the first time she saw an artist at work. The portrait artist had card tables that were covered with hundreds of soft pastels. “My idea of art materials was limited to the Crayola jumbo box of 48 crayons,” she says. “I wanted to have hundreds of colors to work 4 continued on page 64

with, too. When I saw the finished product, it seemed like magic, except I had watched her do the work. Somewhere in my 11-yearold head, I started to think that if I was willing to work, I might be able to make magic happen.” A fine artist based in Eugene, Ore., Lynda Lanker was born in 1943 in Kansas City, Mo., and raised in Wichita, Kan. She majored in painting at Wichita State University and became an art teacher. In 1969, when her first child was born and she quit teaching, she set up a studio in her home and became a serious artist. In 1974, she married Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Brian Lanker and moved with him to Eugene. He encouraged Lanker in her pursuit of art. In the mid-1980s, renowned watercolor artist Millard Sheets recognized her watercolors, subsequently resulting in solo shows and workshops. Her commissioned portraits include five presidential portraits for the University of Oregon. Lanker’s current work includes stone lithography portraits of Dr. Maya Angelou and the late Oregon Supreme Court Justice Betty Roberts. “Tough by Nature” has been exhibited in Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Texas and California. The book “Tough by Nature” was published by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene. Lithographs of the portraits are available for purchase on her website. By capturing the images of women ranchers and cowgirls, Lanker is helping to document the American West. “I became thankful that she was willing to reveal the truth of who I am, as I am,” says Roney. “It was impossible not to share my feelings about cattle, ranching and the crazy politics we endure. Lanker saw ‘me’ beyond the smiles I kept flashing at her.” • www.lyndalanker.com

If the next Neil Armstrong or John Muir were sitting in a North State classroom right now, would you embrace the chance to help nudge him or her toward a world-changing career? CH2M Hill will host the 5th Annual Rising Stars Gala on Oct. 26 at Turtle Bay Museum to benefit the Clair Hill Scholarship Fund, Schreder Planetarium and Whiskeytown Environmental School (WES). In the past four years, the event has raised nearly $100,000 to help more than 2,200 children participate in these programs. “We really want to make a difference in this community, and it’s important to have kids in the pipeline for these careers,” says CH2M Hill Manager Tony Jaegel, who visited the planetarium as a child growing up in Hayfork. “Everybody has a good time at the gala, but we’ve also really made a huge difference in the viability and success of Schreder Planetarium and Whiskeytown Environmental School.”4 continued on page 68
october 2013 ENJOY | 67
WES Camp began in 1971 at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and is one of just two National Environmental Education Development camps left in the country (25 were originally developed by the National Park Service). The Schreder Planetarium has provided engaging science education since 1979. Both facilities are community jewels that have even inspired some people’s career choices. Local schoolteacher Kerry Packham has seen WES Camp from just about every conceivable vantage point—as a camper, a counselor, a camper’s mom, and a fifth-grade teacher who has taken students there. “As a kid, did you ever have one of those beyond incredible experiences that you wished would never have to end?” Packham asks. “As you grew up, did you look back fondly and dream of that adventure that was independent of parents, a challenge, and a real life-changer? If you were fortunate enough to grow up in and around Redding, that unforgettable experience was probably when you attended Whiskeytown Environment School. It’s a rite of passage for so many in our community.” Campers study environmental science through hands-on experiences, but also learn self-reliance and interdependence, Packham says. “As a teacher, it is a glimpse into the other side of the brain and its capacity to absorb complex subjects through hands-on, interactive exploration. I also love the fact that we can go and have fun with students. It has been an extraordinary blessing to be part of this program and to see from generation to generation the ties that connect kids, schools, families and the community together.” WES campers have the chance to peer up at the stars each night, but students get an even closer look at astral anomalies when they visit Schreder Planetarium. “We will never know the full impact of this amazing gem of Shasta County,” says David Ewart, planetarium director from 2005 to 2012. “It has touched thousands of people in its 34 trips around the sun.” California Institute of Technology junior Ronnel Boettcher volunteered at the planetarium as an Enterprise High School student. “It is a place of inspiration and excitement where people of any age are invited to learn how the world works,” Boettcher says. “I can say confidently that the degree to which my volunteering experience benefited me toward achieving my goals was tremendous. In the past, I have interned with NASA Ames working on their airborne infrared telescope SOFIA, attended a NASA-funded science camp and participated in the National Science Bowl competition in our nation’s capital.”
68 | Enjoy october 2013
Ewart loves hearing stories like that, as he too was awestruck by visits to observatories and science centers as a child. He witnessed the successful launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981, his high school was across the street from NASA Ames, and “these institutions that exalt human ingenuity were all part of my childhood adventures that opened my mind to the wonders of science,” Ewart says. “Schreder Planetarium was the launch platform to share my love of science with kids.” Shasta High School science teacher Brian Grigsby, who directed the planetarium from 2000 to 2005, still works with NASA, and his students are doing photoanalysis for the Mercury mission. Many local students’ love of science begins at the planetarium, he says. “When I started, I thought, how can we use this resource to take people somewhere they haven’t been before? The novelty of a place like that is that it lends itself to learning and is fertile ground for them to learn. My mom would take me there and I would be in awe—how they got the stars up on that dome, and I loved being able to move the universe to show kids something. I feel like the planetarium itself is a key factor in why I went into science and why I love astronomy.” Assistance from CH2M Hill—largely, the Rising Stars Gala—puts experiences like science summer camps and a Community Science Intern (CSI) program into reach for low-income students, he says. One 12-year-old girl who participated in some summer camps now wants to pursue a career in astrobiology. The gala was launched when CH2M Hill decided to forgo their annual Christmas dinner and party five years ago, instead choosing to use those funds as a seed to launch the fundraiser. Rather than sponsoring a couple of students, they wanted to develop a more meaningful partnership through this fundraiser, Jaegel says. The event includes raffles, gambling, live and silent auctions, a band, a bar and food. “Employees still get together and have a good time, but they’re contributing $25,000 to a community cause,” he says. • 5th Annual Rising Stars Gala • Oct. 26, 7-11 pm, Turtle Bay Museum Tickets: $30; go to www.risingstarsgala.brownpapertickets.com or 2525 Airpark Drive, Redding, or call (530) 229-3340

s i n ger / so n g w r i ter darrell scott Darrell Scott is widely known, not only as a solo Americana and contemporary folk singer-songwriter, but also as a session player, a multi-instrumentalist and a successful songwriter for mainstream artists working out of Nashville. “I want the music to be as free as it can be,” he says. “It can be whatever the hell it wants to be. Bluegrass fits into Americana. Honky-tonk fits into Americana, and Texas Swing does too. I love that Americana’s just a big, old messy catch-all that no one knows what the hell it really is. I want to keep it as weird as it can be.” His songs have been recorded by more than 70 artists, and the Dixie Chicks’ version of his song “Long Time Gone” was nominated for a Grammy in 2003. Born in London, Ky., Scott is the son of singer-songwriter Wayne Scott. When he was a child, his family moved to Indiana, where he picked up the habit of making music. “My people came from Kentucky, poor tobacco farmers of the first half of the 20th Century and Harlan County coal miners for decades ahead of that. From silver-haired daddy to momma’s hungry
eyes, I was baptized in country music.” His father, a steelworker by trade but a songwriter in his heart, moved his clan to Southern California when Darrell was 11. Soon he and brothers Denny, Dale, Don and David were part of their dad’s band, getting on-the-job training in country music as they played its hits on the stages of roadhouses and taverns as far north as Alaska. “Our family started playing music in church. My dad had been playing since he was 15. He was a songwriter... as a professional, you write songs and take them to your publisher, try to get them cut. But this was just writing songs because you wanted to, for the sake of writing a song.” By the time Scott was a teenager, he’d begun playing music professionally before attending Tufts University to study English literature while doing stints in both Boston and Toronto as a musician. “I studied a lot of poetry and read a lot of literature and opened up the whole world of the humanities that had been no part of4 continued on page 72

my world as a honky-tonk youngster. So I immersed myself totally in the Humanities, and was reading and writing poetry. I was in a non-musical phase. In time, the two things came together, but I didn’t plan that. I was going to go to grad school in some creative writing program, and I ended up integrating everything I’d learned along the way.” Having based his music out of Nashville since 1995, Scott is known for being remarkably proficient on guitar, mandolin, accordion, pedal and lap steel and banjo. Those skills along with his singing ability, led to him being ask to be a part of Robert Plant’s award-winning “Band of Joy.” “That’s one I would’ve never dreamed would happen,” he says. “The good news was that Robert didn’t want to do Led Zeppelin all over again. He expressed how he really wanted to morph and follow his own muse. The path that started with his record ‘Raising Sand’ with Alison Krauss led him to Nashville and to connecting with Buddy Miller, and then that led to Buddy calling me to be a multi-instrumentalist on the record, and then to Robert deciding that he wanted that band out on the road for a 13-month tour. It started out as a record, but turned into a great band project.” This month, Scott joins his friend and roots music collaborator, Tim O’Brien, in a national tour in support of their newly released CD, “Memories and Moments,” the second studio album from the highly regarded writer/singer/multi-instrumentalists. The show comprises five songs apiece from O’Brien and Scott
72 | Enjoy october 2013
plus one memorable collaboration in their timely “Turn Your Dirty Lights On,” along with a pair of tunes from Hank Williams and George Jones and a spirited rendition of the John Prine classic “Paradise,” with its author guesting on guitar and vocals. “I feel very lucky,” Scott says, “because the writer part of me has been fortunate and has had a lot of stuff going on. The player part of me has played in some great sessions and on some great records, and the artist part of me has put out eight or nine albums, and then I got to be in Robert’s band. I just walk where I’m welcome. I won’t crack my head against a window hoping that someone will let me in; I’ll just go to someone who says, ‘Hey, come over here.’ I don’t have a work-related or a star-climbing strategy. Why the hell would I want to be where I don’t feel welcome, you know? I just slither around, chameleon style, between the writing, playing and performing worlds.” • Darrell Scott & Tim O’Brien Sierra Nevada Brewery Big Room | October 7 www.sierranevada.ticketleap.com or call (530) 896-2198 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.

It’s said “the third time’s a charm,” and in this case, the third time is a community changing experience. In 2010, the Mount Shasta 5-Star Kiwanis Club began as the first all-women club chartered in the United States. After two failed attempts to establish a club in the community, the 5-Star Club continues to excel and serve the children of south Siskiyou County with a passion. Kiwanis International roots reach back to 1915 in Detroit, Mich. The intention to create a business network gave way to an emphasis on service, specifically focusing on children, holding to their slogan: “Serve the children of the world.” Women were admitted to the clubs in 1987.4 continued on page 76
october 2013 ENJOY | 75
Under the leadership of its first president, Karen Pautz, the Mount Shasta Club is determined to give 5-Star service to the area. Bringing up students’ grades, developing a strong membership of women, establishing youth leadership clubs, sponsoring programs to aid children’s health and forming a charitable foundation became the goals. The BUG (Bring Up Grades) program impacted 20 students in the first year. The program challenges students to raise their grades, and those who do can receive bookstore gift certificates, with the top 20 being honored at a luncheon. The organization then helped sponsor “Climb Against the Odds,” a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. The club’s first climber was its own president; Pautz raised more than $19,000 with her efforts. The second year, Elizabeth Mitchell Collard took leadership. Her experience as executive director of Community Health Plan of the Siskiyous gave her unique insight to the health needs of children. In collaboration with Klamath Health Services, the club helped fund a dental van service to work with the Siskiyou County Department of Health and bring much-needed services to lowincome children. Other health and safety works went forward with purchasing helmets for the Sisson Ski Club and uniforms for the girls’ basketball team, and plans started for a dinner honoring first responders at the Mount Shasta Resort. Most Kiwanis Clubs are tested in their third year. Those making it past this milestone continue to grow, while others languish and disappear. With the installation of Matilde de Franchis Unruh as president, the Mount Shasta Club pushed on toward a greater summit. The Builder’s Club began at the elementary school to match the existing Key Club program at Mount Shasta High School. These organizations develop youth leadership while giving the students the opportunity to lead their own organizations, raising money and impacting their region through service. Also, efforts are underway to establish “sister city” status with another all-female club in New Delhi, India. The club is a regional effort. In 1939, the Shasta Dam Kiwanis of Shasta Lake City club started. They sponsored the Mount Shasta venture, seeing the potential of key career women to change the
76 | Enjoy october 2013
fabric of their community. This group of women continues to dream, pursue, and bring to reality a spirit of service which makes a difference. This month they take a new turn; with the installation of Stacey Mack, a senior paralegal, as the new president, the club will challenge men to join their ranks. The heart of Kiwanis is serving its community. As Abigail Adams once noted, “If we do not lay out ourselves in the service of mankind, whom shall we serve?” •

T h e 4 t h A n n u al M u s i c a n d M erlot F u n d ra i ser Do you remember how the recorder, that whistle-like instrument that produces clear, sweet sounds, felt on your lips? Do you remember the way your small hands navigated the finger holes as you learned to play the most basic songs? And do you remember the pride you felt when you mastered “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”? Just as it was when you were a young student, music is an integral part of any child’s education. Music keeps kids engaged in school, develops well-rounded individuals and encourages vital life skills. No one understands this better than Abbie Ehorn, a music teacher in the Evergreen Union School District, who has spearheaded a grassroots effort to keep music alive in three Cottonwood schools.4 continued on page 80 october 2013 ENJOY | 79
–Abbie Ehorn
Since 2010, Ehorn and countless volunteers have collaborated to raise funds for Evergreen’s music program that, like other music programs nationwide, has been threatened by federal and state budget cuts. “Music and Merlot has become one of Cottonwood’s most anticipated community events,” says Ehorn. “Everyone contributes to make the fundraiser and our music program a success.” Tara Dacy, an Evergreen parent and fundraiser coordinator, adds, “Parents sell tickets, and students who have already graduated come back to park cars, serve food and clean up.” Proceeds from Music and Merlot make it possible for Ehorn to offer music instruction to 1,000 Cottonwood children each year. For one hour a week, students learn music appreciation, voice, recorders, world music, drumming, guitar, dance and musical theater in a nurturing environment where they are encouraged to express themselves creatively. “When children come to music, it’s like they’re coming to get a cool drink of water,” says Ehorn. To provide that “drink,” Ehorn has structured her program to be process-based rather than performance based, which has long been the standard method of teaching in public schools. “With performancebased learning, there is less whole-child learning and less creativity in the classroom,” she says. “I want students to have a joyful musical experience every day. I want them to have the freedom to be in the moment with their music, to be able to improvise and to grow a lifelong love of music.” Evergreen offers music education to every child in the district, from kindergarten through 8th grade. “Our administration knows the importance of music and they have really fought to keep it,” says Ehorn. But it takes more than administration to keep music in the classroom. “The community is enthusiastic about the program,” says Dacy, whose daughter Sydnee has been Ehorn’s student since kindergarten. “Not only does the community love the music program, they have fallen in

love with Abbie... They see value in teaching music to their children and they believe in what she is doing.” So, this month, under twinkling lights and starry skies, Ehorn, Dacy, school staff, parents, volunteers and others will raise their glasses to toast music, community and the continued success of Evergreen’s music program at the 4th Annual Music and Merlot fundraiser. The event, which promises to be “more fun than you’ve had in a long time, and all for a great cause,” will be held at the beautiful JBL Ranch in Cottonwood. Admission includes a complimentary glass of wine in a keepsake glass and a Tuscan-inspired Italian dinner complete with handmade mini chocolate Amaretto and limoncello cakes for dessert, all provided by The Cottonwood Eatery. Live and silent auctions and a raffle will give event goers a chance to contribute to the music program and win prizes donated by locals and businesses like Burnsini Vineyards, Logo USA, JBL Ranch and Laundry World. Prizes include a seven-day stay at a Hawaiian vacation condo, houseboat vacations on Shasta Lake, golf and stay packages at Rolling Hills, scenic airplane rides, concert tickets, autographed musical instruments and more than 20 themed baskets.

sound effects u pstate h ear i n g makes t h e co n n ect i o n t h ro u g h so u n d For much of the hearing population, experience with hearing loss amounts to talking full volume to an elderly relative whose bulbous aids seem not to help much. For Ken Woods, hearing loss is a way of life, the only life he’s known. “Hearing loss disconnects people,” he says, which is why he’s made it his passion to reconnect families and loved ones by giving back what Helen Keller deemed more important than sight. “Seeing is about things,” says Woods, “but hearing is about knowing people.” It’s this passion that drives his philosophy at Upstate Hearing Instruments. With a main office in Redding and satellite locations in Susanville, Weaverville and Red Bluff, Woods’ office helps more than 2,000 patients recapture the vibrancy of life and connection through sound.
“I love fitting hearing aids,” Woods says, somewhat sheepishly. “Maybe I talk about it too much, but making someone hear again? It’s pretty amazing. Especially when the family is there and my patient hears them in a new way.” “Hearing loss crosses spectrums,” says Donna Spoon, Upstate’s office manager. “It’s not something that affects only those in certain income or insurance levels, and Ken makes a real commitment to serve the entire population. His desire to help people hear well bubbles to the surface.” In fact, Woods is so intent on his staff understanding and empathizing with the challenges of the hearing impaired that he requires each one to spend at least one whole work day wearing ear plugs. “They find out really quickly how frustrating and isolating it can be,” he says.4 continued on page 84 october 2013 ENJOY | 83
His own story gives him a unique ability to understand what patients are trying to say when they aren’t hearing well. Born with a congenital hearing loss, Woods remembers how no one could understand his speech as a small boy except his sister, who also had a hearing loss. “We became very good lip readers,” he says. He got his first hearing aid when he was 8 and he describes the quality as that of a transistor radio. He could hear, but it wasn’t natural and he still missed so much. He remembers skipping social events and school dances in high school because it was difficult to make sense of all the sound. “My natural personality was outgoing but I tended to be introverted,” he says. Those first hearing aids were basic analog devices with limited adjustments. By the late 1980s, the cumbersome aids gave way to the first digitally programmable hearing devices which added the ability to adjust sound balances rather than simply amplifying them. “Now the flexibility in processing sound is like in a computer—maybe even faster than that. And it keeps getting better and better,” Woods says. He explains how the digital capabilities of today’s devices match hearing loss better, controlling what sounds people hear. It’s more natural and gives him the opportunity to really dial in how people want to hear. “Fitting is part science and part art,” he says. “What works for me might not work for someone else. Some people like blue, some like green. Some like soft sounds and others like crisp. It’s really personal. There is no cookie cutter.”
In a way, he is a sound engineer. “People get really hung up on what type of hearing aid they should get when what they really need to look for is the professional who knows how to fine-tune the device. Someone with finesse will personalize the sound, not just adjust it from the chart on the box.” Oddly enough, Woods never considered a career in the hearing instrument industry until in his early 20s, when his own technician suggested it. For several years he traveled throughout the United States repairing devices before realizing what he really loved was the people. He secured a license in hearing aid dispensing and purchased Upstate Hearing Instruments in 1990. Spoon is pretty sure that was a great idea for those in the North State. “We’re really lucky here in our office,” she says. “We all work together with high levels of work ethic to carry out our mission. We talk all the time about how we can hit a home run with every client, how we can wow ‘em.” For Woods, it’s all about the crisp crunch of fall leaves, a bird chirping in a tree or the timbre of a loved one’s voice. If he can bring any of those to life, he’s had a good day. • 1640 Tehama Street, Suite B, Redding • (530) 243-7307 or (800) 843-4271

Little Free Libraries s h ar i n g t h e lo v e o f rea d i n g
Seven-year-old Dylan Ramont is captivated by the Chronicles of Narnia series, especially “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.” His brother Evan, 3, can’t get enough of Grover’s antics in “The Monster at the End of This Book.” They think all kids should have the opportunity to fall in love with reading - and their family is helping to make that happen. The Ramonts are among more than 50 families or organizations that have adopted “Little Free Libraries,” and they’re looking forward to stocking theirs with books for all ages that they can share with friends and neighbors. The Shasta Early Literacy Project, the Redding Masonic Lodge and Camping World built about 50 of the libraries last spring, and they’ve all been adopted by people, businesses or organizations who agree to decorate them and make them available in their neighborhood. Folks can come borrow a book they’d like to read, and ideally leave one behind for someone else to enjoy. The goal is to make it even easier for families to read for at least 20 minutes a day with their children—or “Take 10 and Do It Again,” as the literacy project’s slogan encourages. Books are stocked by the library “owner,” often from their own children’s outgrown books, though many have found great deals on children’s books at yard sales and thrift shops. “We really want to build early language and literacy skills in young children so they’re ready to learn for kindergarten,” said Jennifer Snider, program manager for First 5 Shasta. “A whole segment of society doesn’t have books in their home. This was a way to get the community involved in understanding the importance of reading 20 minutes a day and to get books out there and available.” Charlene Ramont plans to paint her little library to match her house —gray with white trim and shingles—and she’s been saving her sons’ books as they outgrow them so they’ll have plenty of books to place inside. “I didn’t start reading to my kids from day 1—we sang and talked,” she says. “But when they turned 1, we started reading to them every day, and I can honestly say that not a day has gone by that we haven’t read 86 | Enjoy october 2013
something to our kids. It’s never too late to start.”
The Ramonts visit the Redding Library weekly, and Charlene’s husband, Tom, “loves the communal aspect — you check a book out, you enjoy it and you share it with others,” Charlene says. “ We want our neighbors to have the access to books that we do, and I hope to get to know some of my neighbors this way. I think that the more you get to know your neighbors, the safer you feel and the happier you’ll be. It’s just a little box full of books, but I hope it will build community.” If you’re interested in hosting a library but didn’t didn’t get one of the Shasta Early Literacy Project’s originals, never fear—you can go to littlefreelibrary.org, check out pictures of little libraries from all over the country and get inspired. “Some are cabinets, some look like old newspaper racks—there are plans on the site so people can build their own,” Snider says. Snider’s family also has a Little Free Library. “I’ve been a lifelong reader. My parents did a good job of encouraging me to read, and I feel like I’ve always had a book,” Snider says. “When I had my son, I always read to him. I knew I could sit with my baby and read a book and he’d sit still in my arms. I live in a community where families don’t necessarily have books for their kids, and this is another way to support the development of our community. I’m really pleased with how the community has embraced this idea.” • www.shastareads.org • www.littlefreelibrary.org Kerri Regan grew up in the North State and earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Francisco State University.

WHAT’S COOKIN’

PHOTO: KARA STEWART
|
BY LANA GRANFORS
My first bowl of Vietnam’s Pho (pronounce “fuh”) soup was enjoyed over 20 years ago while visiting my son, Rusty, in Southern California. He had raved about it and once I tasted it, I too was hooked. Hot steaming broth, usually cooked for hours, with the aroma of ginger, anise, garlic and clove, is poured over either chicken or beef and rice noodles. You make the soup your own with your choice of any or all of the additions from what is called the “table salad”: fresh herbs, bean sprouts, limes and jalapenos. The trick is to add a little bit of each item as you eat your way through the bowl. The herbs will maintain their fragrance and color and the bean sprouts will be crunchy with each bite. This is the essence of North Vietnam’s Pho soup and a perfect way to celebrate my son’s birthday this month. Happy birthday, Rusty! Enjoy. 90 | Enjoy october 2013
Vietnamese Chicken Pho serves 6 ingredients 1 whole 3 lb. chicken 2 yellow onions, halved and sliced 1 ½ inch fresh ginger, sliced thinly 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 6 whole cloves ½ tsp. anise seed black pepper 3 quarts low sodium chicken stock 2 – 3 tsp. fish sauce, for seasoning
Plus: 1 1b. (16 oz.) package dried rice noodles 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 1 bunch cilantro, chopped (about 1 ½ cup) Table Salad Garnish: ½ cup torn Thai basil leaves 1 lb. mung bean sprouts 2 limes cut into wedges 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced into rings Asian chili-garlic sauce Hoisin sauce
PREPARATION 1 | Place the chicken in a large pot with onion, ginger, garlic and seasonings. Add enough chicken
stock to cover chicken by one inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 30 minutes. Add fish sauce to taste. 2 | Once you have the chicken going, put the rice noodles in a large bowl, and cover them with
very hot tap water. Cover with a plate to keep them hot. Soak the noodles for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender, but still a little firm. 3 | As the chicken simmers and noodles soak, prepare the table salad garnishes and arrange on a large platter and set out the sauces. 4 | When the chicken is done, using tongs, remove the chicken from the pot and allow to cool. Cover the stock and keep on a low simmer on the stove. Let the chicken rest for 20 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle easily. Pull the chicken meat from the bones, discarding the bones and skin. Shred the meat with your fingers; you should have about 4-5 cups. Cover to keep warm. 5 | When ready to serve, drain noodles and rinse well with cold water. Divide the noodles between the large soup bowls. Top the noodles with about ¾ cup of the shredded chicken, then divide the scallions and cilantro evenly into all bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the chicken and the noodles. Serve immediately with the platter of garnishes and sauces.
Prep: 25 minutes; cook TIME: 30 minutes; Total: 55 MINUTES

Matthew Songmaker AND THE MOUNTAIN MESSENGERS
by Billy Pilgrim
Matthew was attending Black Butte School in Shingletown when, at the age of 6, he joined the after school music program, picked up a fiddle, and never looked back.
Meet Matthew Songmaker, a 14-year-old bluegrass musician from Shingletown via Thailand, who is amazing Northern California audiences with his group, Matthew Songmaker and the Mountain Messengers. I met Matthew and his dad, Michael, at an Old Time Fiddler’s jam and soon after attended his album release party. I was enthralled by his extraordinary talent and stage presence. Matthew was attending Black Butte School in Shingletown when, at the age of 6, he joined the after-school music program, picked up a fiddle and never looked back. And along with the fiddle, he learned to play the saxophone and the mandolin. And the guitar, the banjo and the stand-up bass. And this wonderful young man, who is one-quarter Thai, one-quarter Cambodian, one-quarter German and one-quarter Eskimo, also plays accordion! It was just a couple of years ago that Matthew was busking in front of a local store. Karla Fultz was so impressed that she asked Matthew to perform the National Anthem at the Patriot’s Day event in Red Bluff. He was then invited to open for the Crist Family at the Church of God. He needed a band, so he put together the Mountain Messengers. They just released their second CD. Matthew is busy. In addition to performing, he practices two to three hours a day. His dad said he has never had to push him to practice. The high school freshman takes three classes at Shasta College, and is an instructor for the music program at Manton School. When he is not creating, practicing or teaching music, he’s listening to it. His favorites include Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Chris Thile and Old Crow Medicine Show. He met and played for Old Crow when they came to the Cascade, and he got an autograph from Ketch! So what’s in the future for Matthew? He told me he’d like to continue to play his music and be known throughout Northern California by his 18th birthday, and someday he’d like to perform at HardlyStrictlyBluegrass in San Francisco. Check out the Mountain Messengers the next time they play. “Like” their Facebook page, and find Matthew on the web at MatthewSongmaker.com. The Mountain Messengers are Matthew Songmaker, George Fredson, Don Palmer and Lloyd Raeg. october 2013 ENJOY | 93

ENJOY: You recently won a prestigious award - please tell us about that. Sandi: In April, we entered the New York International Olive Oil competition for the first time. More than 700 oils entered that competition, and we were one of less than 20 U.S. oils that won a gold. It was big for us. It’s the biggest olive oil competition in the world, so we are now considered one of the world’s best olive oils. In the two years we’ve been in production, we’ve won in every competition we’ve entered, so we must be doing something right. ENJOY: How did you get started in the olive oil business? Sandi: We knew we were going to plant agriculture on our land, but hadn’t decided until 2007 when we noticed a nearby olive orchard. They were using a new way of planting called high density. We chose to plant the high density Arbequina variety because they grow well in our climate and soil and are more drought tolerant. In 2008 when we planted, we were experiencing somewhat of a drought. It also well suited our property aesthetically, since it grows similar to a vineyard. We are able to plant more trees per acre versus traditional olive trees. ENJOY: How are your olives harvested? Sandi: A mechanical harvester comes through and picks them, because you can harvest them more quickly and get them to the mill more quickly, which improves the quality of the oil. Because we are a smaller grower, we have the flexibility to manage when we harvest better than a company with hundreds or thousands of acres. Harvest time is important because we need a nice variety of green and some ripe fruit - the green olives are more grassy, fruity and peppery and they contain the healthy antioxidants (polyphenols) that make olive oil so good for us. The ripe fruit has more of a buttery and nutty flavor, which the average consumer likes. Derek’s
dad, brother, two cousins and whoever else we can find come and help harvest. After we harvest, we press them within hours at a mill just north of our orchard. It’s straight from our farm down to your dish. ENJOY: Your family seems to have strong agricultural roots. Sandi: Derek is a sixth generation farmer and his family has farmed walnuts in Biggs for more than 60 years. He studied agricultural engineering at Cal Poly and is an irrigation specialist. He’s a very passionate farmer and our crop shows that. We’ve been building our dream at this orchard and lake for eight years. It’s exciting being part of a healthy business and educating people on what a good olive oil is supposed to taste like. It’s even more fun getting them to drink our olive oil rather than dip it… really, it’s that good! ENJOY: Tell us more about the lake you built. Sandi: Derek had a dream of building a lake since high school, and I had a dream of living on one (laughs). We are both passionate about water skiing and sharing the sport with others. The name Red Rock Lake came from all the vibrant red rocks in the ground. The lake is also a self-sustaining irrigation source and it helps protect the fruit against frost in the winter, not to mention all of the wildlife we get to cohabitate with. ENJOY: Besides Enjoy the Store, where are your products available? Sandi: You can find our olive oil at S&S Organic Produce and Natural Foods in Chico, Ace Hardware in Gridley, Corti Bros Gourmet in Sacramento, Calistoga Olive Oil Company, New Earth Market in Yuba City and Granzella’s in Williams. www.redrockoliveoil.com
