Happy 9th Birthday

Enjoy the magazine It’s on the house

We believe education is the sharpest tool to create communities we can all Enjoy and have a long history supporting fresh thinking. We know that learning happens everywhere, from our backyard gem at Lassen Volcanic National Park, to Makerspaces, to community art studios, and school That’s why classrooms. we’ve invested heavily in youth programs with the Lassen Park Foundation, the Green Room Community Arts Studio, College Options and many more. As foundational sponsors of Expect More Tehama, we’ve assured 8th graders have had access to college visits and leadership training and have convened thousands of community members over 6 years to increase their own investments of young people.

With over $7.5 million given in support of education, public safety, community organizations and youth sports leagues in the last 10 years, the Rolling Hills Community Foundation has become a proud partner with some of the North State’s most innovative people and projects.

Each February we join our Corning Rotary Club to highlight the best in local wines, arts and chowders at the Art, Food and Wine Show. Not only have we raised over $38,700 for their good works in the last six years, but we’ve supported Corning High School students in creating the graphics for the annual event, providing valuable real-world job experience in the design and marketing business.

as Our best bet h ity n u m m o c r u o n always been o off where the pay teed! n a r a u g s y a lw is a

We’ve been honored to support our young athletes as they learn skills that keep them in the game and prepared for life through sports training and competition. We’ve purchased equipment for Corning Police Activities League, Corning Youth Soccer League, Corning Little League, Red Bluff Triton Swim Team, Tehama County’s Junior Giants program and Anderson Aqua-Gators Swim Club.

Of course, an integral component of a healthy community is its public safety system. We’ve supported the Orland Volunteers in Police in their bicycle helmet giveaway program and have contributed to the Red Bluff Police K-9 Capital Campaign. Over at the Red Bluff Fire Department, firefighters learn new safety skills and techniques using technology we’ve provided.

And we have fun doing it! Some of our greatest fundraisers have been great fun-raisers as well. When we’ve revved up our engines with the American Corvette Club at our Ribs and Rods party, Chico’s Jesus Center and Esplanade House have earned $39,000 The in six years! Handi-Riders have raised approximately $57, 000 from the ribs cook off. Those who have hit the greens at Mercy Foundation North’s annual Par Fore the Cause tournaments have raised over $200,000 for community hospitals. When we Laissez les bons temps rouler at our Mardicraw festival, the Red Bluff Tehama Chamber of Commerce continued shining a bright light on our community assets.

Rolling Hills Community Foundation is proud of its 10 year history, and looks forward to continued growth with partners, old and new.

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

This wonderful treasure was discovered several years ago and is now coming to the world. The farmer claimed it was a “Dream worth catching”.

YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

We’re lighting another candle on our birthday cake this month – Enjoy Magazine is 9 years old! Our gift to you is another issue that’s jam-packed with articles about people, places and things that make us proud to live here. It’s a lovely time of year for a Sunday drive. Old Town Yreka is a delightful place to spend the day, and the friendly shopkeepers would love to chat a while with you. If you’re into brainteasers, Confusion Hill south of KRISTEN AYERS Eureka bends the laws of nature. Prefer a hide-and-seek by Kara Stewart mystery? Wander along the Bigfoot Scenic Byway and see www.karastewartphotography.com if you can catch a glimpse of the elusive Sasquatch. It’s time for pumpkin everything, and we’ve got all sorts of fun ways to showcase the beloved fall squash in your home, so grab your glitter, glue sticks and drill. We’ve also got the scoop on Halloween’s unofficial mascot, the bat. They have a bad rap as a creepy creatures, but these flying mammals are worthy of celebration, enthusiasts insist. Then, get acquainted with Karline Niver, the dynamo behind Déjà Vu restaurant and the proud new owner of Gironda’s Italian restaurant. We’ll tell you about some of her superpowers (fueled by Eggs Benedict with bacon, avocado and spinach). Looking for a way to leave your mark on the world? It’s as easy as tucking some native plants into the earth. Anybody can help sustain local ecosystems by introducing plants that attract butterflies, bees, birds and more, and the Garden for Wildlife program can show you how. Meanwhile, we propose a toast to each of you—our for more on readers, advertisers and contributors—for nine years of downtown Yreka celebrating all the things that make our North State great. Happy birthday to us!

TRIBUTE

LEAVING A LEGACY A L O O K B A C K AT T H E L I F E O F J A M E Y M A Z Z O T TA ENJOY MAGAZINE CELEBRATES the incredible life and mourns the passing of Jamey Mazzotta, the father of Enjoy’s James Mazzotta. Jamey, a biochemist who died last month after a battle with cancer, co-founded KMS Research in Redding and launched the careers of many of today’s leaders in the beauty industry. But when Jamey started KMS in Cascade Square, he had no way of knowing that four decades later, an enterprising group of his former employees would be running a successful magazine and local retail shop in that very space. Publishers Yvonne Mazzotta (his daughter-in-law) and Michelle Adams, Editor-inChief Ronda Ball, Advertising Manager Michael O’Brien, recipe writer Lana Granfors and former designer Matt Briner were all part of the team that bonded as coworkers at KMS and launched Enjoy Magazine in October 2006. Born July 9, 1947, in Venice, Jamey moved to Redding when he was hired by Jhirmack, and he made revolutionary discoveries that changed the way Jhirmack did business. He left the company in 1975 to form KMS with Dick Kornfield and Gary Smith. “He would compound his products and fill his bottles at night, and hit the salon trail during the day,” Michael O’Brien says.4 continued on page 20

OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 19

“Jamey Mazzotta had The Midas Touch – whatever he did turned to gold, from racing to building companies...” It wasn’t long before his business was an international success, and hairstylists and distributors relished the opportunity to meet him. “He was charismatic, and had a magnetic ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ personality,” Michael says. “His self-made-man story was inspiring.” Jamey was a driven man who knew what he wanted. “He knew people and could build relationships quickly through his charm and sharing his purpose,” Yvonne says. “He would make funny napkin art and silly jokes when having fancy dinners with international distributors. He broke down barriers that would bring him closer to people.” As his business grew, he needed a real production facility, so he moved production from downtown Redding to a building in Bella Vista. When that got too small, Jamey helped design and build a new, 113,000-squarefoot manufacturing, office and education facility on Mountain Lakes Boulevard. “Jamey Mazzotta had The Midas Touch— whatever he did turned to gold, from racing to building companies,” Michael says. “We used to have a saying about Jamey: It’s good to be King. He was the king of his empire. He was a benevolent king, though. As a gesture of approval of my work, he had my car—a 1976 Datsun 280 Z – painted. I could not afford to do so at that time. I think he mostly did this because my camo-colored car looked bad in his parking lot! But seriously, I will never forget that.” Indeed, KMS was more than just a job. “I remember the man outside the walls of the business,” says Lana Granfors, who began working at KMS in 1979. “I knew the father who proudly introduced me for the first time to his young son, James, probably around the age of 10 or 11 at the time. I knew the handson man in the production area and the packaging lines at KMS. I knew the man who shared in the good times of company baseball games, hot dog cookouts, hula hoop contests on the docks, building KMS rafts for competing in the river raft races, and all the fabulous potlucks. I remember horseback riding together, rides in his Cobra up and down Highway 299 at crazy speeds, and one of his favorites, margaritas and laughs across the table at Doc’s.”

“I knew the father who proudly introduced me for the first time to his young son, James, probably around the age of 10 or 11 at the time.” In his personal life, Jamey was a rancher, equestrian, scientist, race car driver and even an athlete—he was drafted to the Angels major league baseball team, but couldn’t play because he went into the military. “Ribbons, medals, trophies, belt buckles and champagne—there was always something to celebrate with Jamey,” Yvonne says. “He was the type of guy you wanted to please, because when you made him proud, you almost felt like you would explode with joy. Fear was not in his vocabulary. He wasn’t afraid to try anything and his enthusiasm was infectious.” He sold KMS in 2002 and moved to Newport Coast, and although most KMS employees initially stayed on with the new company, “once Jamey was out of the picture, the spirit of the company also left,” Michael O’Brien says. “Gone was the entrepreneurial feel. Nothing was the same after Jamey sold KMS.” So a small group of people channeled Jamey’s entrepreneurial spirit and took their own leap of faith, and published the first issue of Enjoy Magazine in October 2006. The endeavor has expanded to include 3 retail stores, a free summer outdoor movie festival and a second magazine, Enjoy South Valley Living in Visalia. “We who worked at KMS loved it and would have continued working for Jamey forever,” says Michael. “That said, if Jamey had not sold KMS, Enjoy Magazine, Enjoy the Store and Movies in the Park would not be.” His legacy in the North State lies in the unbreakable bonds he built between people. “He was an incredibly disciplined man who had an amazing amount of drive and enthusiasm,” Yvonne says. “One thing I loved about him is if he felt someone was intimidated by him, he would take the time to reach out to them. He would crack a joke or tease them or take them for a ride in one of his race cars, always with a huge, pearly white smile. What I see that my husband and sons got from Jamey is making people around them feel like they matter. I also feel my husband and sons have a sense of honor for family, and that was Jamey. The entrepreneurial spirit is something they got from him too; the ideas for Enjoy, Enjoy the Store and Movies in the Park all originated with James.”•

A NEW STORY R E B U I L D I N G A V I B R A N T D O W N TO W N Y R E K A

THE PLAQUES ON THE FRONT of Old Town Yreka’s buildings tell stories familiar to many who have poked around the North State’s historic towns. There are tales of hardworking merchants, homesteaders, fortune-seeking prospectors, devastating fires and rebuilding.

Inside the 19th-century buildings along a vibrant Miner Street, a new story is being told, one of a mining camp that hung on after the gold strikes panned out and its residents who embrace their city’s rich history while readying for a bright future.4 continued on page 25

★★★★★ My husband and I finally found... mj, Anderson, CA My husband and I finally found a Dentist’s office that made us happy. Still have work left to do on our teeth, but we’re of to a great start. Great sense of humor from the staff along with professionalism. Dr. Carter is precious.

“I like the historic district,” Martin says. “The stores here were the hot place to be when I was in high school.”

Linda Martin grew up in Yreka and watched as her hometown, like other resource-dependent communities, took a big hit when the timber industry declined in the 1980s and ’90s. The big recession in 2008 dealt the town another blow, but these days she says Yreka is on the upswing. Martin joined her sister-in-law, Heidi Martin, and opened The Sewing Room in December 2013. At the time, there were seven empty storefronts on Miner Street. Today, they’re all occupied by new businesses. Popular newcomers include the Etna Brewery Tap House, the Miner St. Meat Market and Shasta’s Chocolate Emporium. “I like the historic district,” Martin says. “The stores here were the hot place to be when I was in high school.” That renewed energy prompted Martin to branch out and open Brown Eyed Gal Designs Vintage Home, which specializes in furniture restoration and home décor.

Candy Mott moved to Yreka in the 1950s and fell in love with Miner Street, so it was only natural to open her businesses—Celestial Flowers & Dreams and the Yreka Soap Co.—in the heart of Yreka’s historical section. “My one dream was to have a store on Miner Street,” she says. Not only does she love the history, with buildings dating back to the 1850s, but Mott enjoys the sense of support and camaraderie with her fellow business owners. “We’re like a family. You know who’s on vacation and whose plants you have to water. We feel fortunate that we’re on this street.” “Yreka has always been a neat place to live,” says Randy Gibbons, who notes with some satisfaction that the city has yet to double its population in the 65 years he’s called it home. “I love the weather—it’s not too hot and not too cold—and you have four seasons,” he says. 4 continued on page 26

“DOWNTOWN IS THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY.” Gibbons and his wife, Mary Jane, opened MacGregor’s Gifts, Grogg & Book Emporium seven years ago, after rehabbing a historic bank building. “It’s a tough time for bookstores these days, but we’ve endured. We’re still getting new customers, and a lot of them are people who live here,” he says. Downtown Yreka is undergoing a bit of a renaissance, he says. “It was real tough there for a while, but there are a lot of new businesses coming in.” Like other Miner Street merchants, Gibbons has diversified. In addition to fiction and non-fiction offerings, the store carries a variety of locally produced art works, coffee and tea. While Mary Jane staffs the store and tends to their bustling Internet sales business, Gibbons takes care of his RV repair business.

After 31 years in business as the owner of Don’s Sporting Goods, a store he bought from his parents in 1984, Drake Davis has seen business ebb and flow. One thing remains constant: “Downtown is the heart of the community.” Unable (and unwilling) to compete with big-box counterparts, Davis focuses on specializing and carrying high-quality product lines. As a sportsman himself, he can give his customers personalized information on fishing and hunting. And when the fish aren’t biting, he’s not above sharing tall tales over a cup of coffee. Mike Simas, who opened Gold Nugget Printing 31 years ago, says he appreciates the historic nature of Miner Street and the upbeat attitude shared by his fellow merchants and the Yreka Chamber of Commerce. 4 continued on page 28

Simas sees more prosperous times ahead for the historic district, especially when compared with the early days when he started out. “Miner Street was pretty ugly back in 1984. There was 50 percent vacancy on the street. This is the best it has looked, ever.” Lisa Clyburn likes the look of the Odd Fellows Lodge building (established in 1853 at the corner of Miner Street and Broadway) because she remembers running through the building as a 3-year-old when it was Yreka Drug. These days, she and Lizzi Martinez operate Bella Art Works in the grand old building, offering ceramic painting, a glass fusing studio and an ice cream parlor. When asked what she likes about operating a business in Old Town Yreka, Clyburn smiled and offered a straightforward answer: “We get to have parties and eat ice cream.”• www.yrekachamber.com Yreka Art Walk: 5-8 pm Oct. 23

A GREAT CAREER usually starts with a vision. “At 12 years old, Donny Kish made me buy a pair of Wranglers and took me out to the Growney Ranch,” Red Bluff’s Clint Selvester says with a laugh. He became part of the feed crew and made the ranch his second home. With his young experience with the animals, contestants and support crews, he says, “The clowns were always right up my alley.” Noting that his young nephew had a penchant for yucking it up, Kish started formulating a plan. From his insider’s view of rodeo as a breeder of champion bucking bulls, “he had a vision,” says Selvester. “The only thing missing in rodeo was something like the San Diego Chicken. He thought we needed a mascot.” Although “they wouldn’t let me on the road with them until I

was old enough to drive,” by the time he had his license, the young Selvester ran with the mascot idea, all the way to his art teacher, Wes Hendricks, at Red Bluff High School. They started designing a bull costume, which Selvester debuted at the St. Paul Rodeo in Oregon. “There were so many fumes in it that I went out and threw up three times,” laughs Selvester. “We didn’t know what we were doing. We were just an ROP art class.” The fans didn’t seem to notice, however. They ate it up. It turns out rodeo did indeed need a mascot. “The kids named me Wolfey,” he says, because Kish’s bulls, Wolfman and Wolfpack, were some of the biggest and baddest in rodeo at the time.4 continued on page 32 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 31

Selvester modified his costume and made the character of Wolfey one he would maintain until he was 20 and it was time to go off to study multimedia design at Platt College in San Diego. “The day I graduated, I had my truck loaded and was headed north again,” he says, shaking his head to indicate his desperation to get out of Southern California. On the way, however, he ran into an old rodeo friend and took up with his idea to get back into the world of rodeo entertainment. He was soon in Santa Barbara, working his first pro rodeo event. “It was terrifying, but I loved it,” he says with a huge smile. Today, at age 36, Selvester travels the country with his wife, Katie, and their 3-year-old daughter, Macie, as a professional entertainer at rodeos, bull riding events and monster truck shows. “Six years ago, we realized we could make a living at this and it started getting fun,” he says, amazed that he gets paid to make people laugh. In the early days of monster truck shows, excitement came to a halt when trucks rolled over and had to be hauled out of the arena.

32 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

Selvester developed a character named Hillbilly. “The truth behind the name was just kind of to poke fun at grandpa,” he says. When Hillbilly comes out, people laugh and dance, seemingly forgetting that the trucks are stalled. Over the years, his personas have been refined, and the stakes have gotten higher, as Selvester has evolved from entertainment to a more serious role in rodeo as a barrel man as well as the funny clown. “Being a barrel man is really the more important part, because that’s where the respect is earned and that’s the job,” says Selvester, noting that when a rider comes out on a bull, his attention turns from the audience to the arena, where “I’m basically a moving fence.” As a barrel man, he works in tandem with the bullfighters, who are there to protect the cowboy athletes from their animal counterparts when a buck or a dismount occurs. “The further the ride gets from the fence, the more dangerous it gets because the further we have to run to safety,” he notes. His goal is “to stay with the wreck but not

get in it. People don’t realize how much you have to pay attention to at a rodeo.” The Selvester family is on the road about 40 weeks a year these days, going from event to event, with most of their monster truck shows on the East Coast and rodeos “all over.” Katie often runs equipment for Chuck Lopeman Sound Company, another Tehama County-based business that travels the rodeo circuit. Wherever they go, Selvester says his secret is finding a way to tap into the core of what makes each place special. “If you make them think you’re part of their community,” he says, “you’ve reeled them in hook, line and sinker.” • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

Who Else Wants To Get Rid Of Their Headaches? Don’t Let Headaches Keep You From Living Your Life A Moment Longer The Answer To Getting Rid Of Your Headaches Is On This Page... “The last 4 years of my life have consisted of one headache after another. I have suffered from tremendous headaches that would keep me in bed. I’ve tried living on pills for this problem but they never fully went away. I have been seen by Dr. Royse for two months and it has been a wonderful 7 weeks since my last headache.”—Jeanine S. “I’ve been a lifetime sufferer of almost daily headaches. I used to eat Excedrin tablets like M&M’s…my headaches are a thing of my past.”—Chuck K. “After 5 years of taking 1600mg of Advil a day, my headaches are resolved and for the first time I didn’t wake up with a headache and head straight for the coffee and Advil!”— Susan W. “Since 1968 when I received a serious head injury in Vietnam, I have had headaches so bad that I could do nothing when I got them. I couldn’t even drive. Since I’ve been getting treatments, I have had only one small headache. What a relief. Thank you, Dr. Royse.—Lee C.

When you suffer with headaches it’s a real problem, and it affects every aspect of your life. You might not feel like doing anything, either with your family, for fun or for work. You watch other people getting on with their lives and you’re unable to whole-heartedly take part. There is no argument on this point. When you have a headache then you have to drag yourself around, you can’t think straight and you don’t feel good at any time. To top it all off, it probably isn’t going to get better on its own. Wouldn’t it be worth finding out if there could be a solution for you? If you do suffer with headaches then I urge you to take us up on our offer, to have a full headache examination at this special discounted rate before it is withdrawn without any notice whatsoever.

We use a combination of ultra-advanced technology, not found anywhere else in the North State, for precisely diagnosing the cause of your headaches and a unique program for reconstructing the damaged area causing the pain in your head; this means superior long-term results for most people. Headaches and their many associated problems may not have to drag you down for the rest of your y life.

Going Batty D I S P E L L I N G F E A R S A B O U T B AT S BATS ARE HIGH-PITCHED, erratic, drawn to darkness and spend a lot of time hanging upside down. No wonder they’re right in there with vampires, skeletons, witches, mummies and Halloween’s other creepy characters. But perhaps they shouldn’t be. Let’s be clear right off the bat: It’s good to have flying mammals darting about. The world needs them. They keep pests in check, pollinate plants and disperse seeds. They’re also rather amazing. Organizations dedicated to bat conservation are using Halloween—the very season that plays to folklore fears—to improve the image of these little creatures of the night.

Halloween serves as an attention-getter, says Micaela Jemison, Bat Conservation International’s communications manager, noting National Bat Week is Oct. 25-31. “Bats are on people’s minds. We like to celebrate bats for all they do for us,” she says. “I take advantage of it. I love Halloween,” says Corky Quirk, founder of Northern California Bats in Sacramento. “I do a lot of presentations to schools and nature centers trying to dispel the myths of bats.” The North State has 17 bat species, Quirk says. Some hang out in caverns; others like cliffs, trees, crevices, buildings or bridges.4 continued on page 36

“We have bats that migrate and bats that are residents,” she notes. All are insect eaters, gobbling mosquitoes, moths, grasshoppers and beetles. They’re important to farms and forests because they consume pests that damage crops and trees. Erratic flight—darting, flipping, abruptly changing direction – isn’t designed to freak. It’s how bats nab bugs. “They are not only using their mouths. Some have membranes between their legs and tail they use to scoop up and flick insects into their mouths,” Jemison explains. Echolocation – bouncing high-frequency clicks off objects – helps some bats pinpoint even the tiniest of insects. That doesn’t mean they can’t see. Bats have excellent vision. “Blind as a bat is not true,” Jemison says. The Mexican free-tailed bat is a common species in Northern California. It has adapted to human places, roosting under bridges and beneath eaves or fascia boards on buildings, Quirk says. A mother Mexican free-tailed bat can find her pup among hundreds in a nursing colony by relying on a unique call and scent. Baby bats are born big – weighing in at about 30 percent of the mother’s weight. “That’s like humans giving birth to a 2-year-old,” Jemison says. Northern California doesn’t have the large bats with foxlike faces that slurp nectar and eat fruit. This region’s bats are small with more compact or scrunched faces. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. “I think their faces are very attractive,” Quirk says. One of her favorites is the red bat. “It is amazingly beautiful. It looks much like a peach hanging from a tree.” A common reaction when she shows live bats during presentations is surprise at their tininess. Some bodies are only a few inches long. In flight, with wings spread, bats seem larger.

36 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

“They are so very small. Even people who are initially hesitant usually soften when they see them,” Quirk says. Bad feelings about bats often are linked to rabies. Bats can contract the deadly virus—as can other mammals, including skunks, raccoons and foxes—but the majority of bats don’t. “It is an extremely low percentage,” Jemison says. Bats with rabies become sick and die. Never pick up a bat on the ground, Jemison warns. The hands-off rule is common sense for other wild creatures too. Dracula and his ilk pose another image problem for bats. “Particularly around Halloween there are a lot of connections with vampire bats,” Jemison says. But she notes that of the 1,300 bat species in the world, only three drink blood, and two of those species target birds. Blood-drinkers don’t live in North America. Bats are a large and varied group throughout the world. Some are as tiny as a bee; others as big as a fox. An Australian species hunts so precisely that it can pluck a spider from a web without destroying the web, Jamison notes. Habitat loss and diseases like White-nose syndrome (a serious problem in Eastern North America) threaten bats. Quirk hopes people replace fear of bats with admiration. “The biggest thing, I think, is education. The more people understand and know about bats, the less likely they are to do them harm.” • www.norcalbats.org • www.batcon.org

G I S S T U D I E S AT S H A S TA CO L L E G E GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) are in use everywhere these days—from smart phones that can summon street maps with the push of a button to indispensable planning tools that can tell officials where to locate a highway or hospital—and Shasta College instructor Dan Scollon is helping keep the North State in front of the emerging technology. By definition, GIS is a celebration of all that is nerdy. In essence, it is any system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and present all types of spatial or geographical data. For Scollon and his students, GIS is an emerging field packed with real-life applications and brimming with possibilities. “It’s a reflection of these various tech revolutions going on around us. Google Maps is all of a sudden something we take for granted. Ten years ago, you didn’t have that information at your disposal. GIS is pulling maps from all these technologies in different forms and using them for different applications. “It’s gathering data to address questions of need, analysis and planning on where new infrastructure will be built,” Scollon says. “And it’s building cool-looking maps people like to look at.” Scollon has taught GIS at Shasta College for 20 years and has helped build the program to where the school now offers stand-alone courses, a 24-unit GIS certificate program and a two-year Associates of Science degree in applied GIS. “It’s definitely a field with a lot of levels,” he says. In June, Scollon received the Excellence in Education Award from the California Geographic Information Association, an accolade he calls “a nice recognition of what we’re doing in the North State in applying GIS.”4 continued on page 40

OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 39

Redding resident Emily Sachs began her GIS studies with Scollon and is now using her background at the University of California at Berkeley, where she’s studying for a degree in anthropology. “Data can often be very complicated and is usually boring to read, but GIS is a way to communicate that information in ways that make it easier— and even fun—for people to understand,” she says. “Being able to actually show someone how much crime is in which neighborhood or how quickly a fire has spread are obviously important, but less obvious is the ability it gives us to see things like what our local rivers looked like before Shasta Dam was built, or what things will look like once it is raised,” Sachs says. “GIS can be used to show us patterns in almost anything. It gives us a visual representation of the way things are, how they are connected and how they’re changing.” GIS technology and tools are in daily use by people involved in transportation, natural resource management, social services, firefighting, municipal utilities, land use planning, mapping, agriculture and countless other fields. “With social media and smart phones, things have really taken off. A lot of people are familiar with consumer uses, like Map My Run, but it’s also rolled over into business and government things,” Scollon says. “Now, there are inexpensive ways to collect data on trails and infrastructure things and there are tools to push that information. There are a whole range of tools out there of interest to recreationists and important tools for agencies and businesses.” The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency has been a big GIS proponent, with its members using the technology to support grants by demonstrating how planners are reducing the generation of greenhouse gases by altering traffic flows and locating roads, trails and walkways. The agency “has been looking at things like non-motorized transportation planning and looking at traffic flow models to see where traffic is concentrated. They’re trying to encourage people to drive fewer miles and create hubs of growth rather than sprawl,” Scollon says.

40 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

Other agencies are all-in with GIS, Scollon says. The Western Shasta Resource Conservation District uses GIS to analyze what wildland areas have burned in the past and which areas are likely to burn in the future; FireWhat, Inc., a Dunsmuir-based tech firm, has been singled out for its use of GIS in assisting firefighters across the country; Vestra, a Redding-based engineering firm, uses its GIS professionals to assist clients with pesticide application, crop analysis and other “precision agriculture” programs. GIS has become a hot commodity, Scollon says. “A lot of people working in other fields will come in and get GIS skills. GIS has become this go-to tool for all these different disciplines. Students realize they need it to increase their value.” In his classes, Scollon is constantly on the lookout for ways students can use their new skills and expertise. “A big thing we’re trying to encourage at Shasta College and at www.farnorcalgis.org (the clearinghouse site for GIS in the North State) is ways to provide services to the community.” Examples are maps that point out community service organizations with one-click portals that provide location, hours, services offered and contact information. Scollon says students are encouraged to go out and map new things, like storm drains or hiking trails, and then figure out how to coordinate that data to maximize its usefulness. “There’s tons of data out there now. The world is awash in technical data,” Scollon says. The larger principles of GIS involve an understanding of the tools needed to use that data and apply it in a useful way. • www.shastacollege.edu/GIS North State GIS professionals are planning a variety of school workshops and community events to coincide withNational GIS Day on Nov. 18.

G R AV I T Y H O U S E A N D C O N F U S I O N H I L L I N L E G G E T T IS SEEING REALLY BELIEVING? That’s the question Doug Campbell puts to visitors of the Gravity House at Confusion Hill in Leggett. “We want people to see everything there is to see up here,” says Campbell, who bought Confusion Hill with his brother in 1999. And when Campbell says everything, he isn’t just talking about the redwoods; he’s referring to the weird, oft inexplicable undercurrent of reality. Like the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and the Oregon Vortex, Confusion Hill (about 90 miles south of Eureka) is one of the few

places in the world where the Laws of Nature appear to bend and break. Water appears to flow uphill and people seem to “stand” on walls. Does gravity work differently at Confusion Hill? Is there really some kind of Vortex that swallows magnetic energy? Is it physics or an optical illusion? As far as Campbell is concerned, “we know nothing… It’s up to everyone to come up to their own conclusion.” That’s why their logo is a question mark – “because we can’t answer that for you.”4 continued on page 44

...We actually had a group come by, the National Institute of Vortex Investigators or something, and they gave us a little plaque saying we were a true anomaly. They said it; I didn't, but that's ok... Campbell may not give answers, but he says plenty of people have their own ideas. “We actually had a group come by, the National Institute of Vortex Investigators or something, and they gave us a little plaque saying we were a true anomaly. They said it; I didn’t, but that’s ok.” Campbell, who grew up in San Jose, has been visiting the coastal redwoods since he was a child. So when he calls Confusion Hill the Mystery of the Redwoods, it’s with the authority of experience. Campbell has also seen his fair share of adventure: for 10 years, he and his brother, Don, worked on a factory trawler called The Ice Storm on the Bering Sea. After that, Campbell worked as a cattle rancher between Oregon and San Andreas, putting plenty of miles in on Highway 101. During those travels along 101, Campbell stopped at small businesses, met the locals, shared stories and eventually heard a strange one about Confusion Hill. “Toward the end of my fishing career, I was looking for something else and one of the things that came to mind was the redwoods, something that my brother Don, my wife Carol and I could manage… And it just so happened,” says Campbell, that one day, “Confusion Hill was for sale.” However it works, whatever its reality, Confusion Hill had long been a staple of the redwoods, even 50 years before the Campbell brothers bought its 13 acres. In 1949, original owner George Hudson had been looking for a spot similar to the Oregon Vortex and Santa Cruz Mystery Spot. He found Confusion Hill, where he built the Gravity House on its hillside. “There’s about 18 different places across the country that have the same shack on the side of the hill,” says Campbell. “But we don’t try to explain why it was built on the side of the hill. It just was.” By comparison, Campbell says the Oregon Vortex house claims to have been a mining assay that “slipped down the hill.” The “shack” on Confusion Hill is a small, wooden house that begs the value of perception, where a metal rod disrupts magnetic waves, and a platform causes people to seem to shrink at one end and grow larger at the other.

CAMPBELL

And if standing on walls isn’t your thing, there’s always also a 30-minute train ride on a 20-gauge track that runs through old growth redwoods. “We use an alpine switchback system to get to the hilltop,” says Campbell, “forwards and backwards to gain elevation.” The train ride might be a nice alternative to the physical strain of the Gravity house, but even the train has its oddities. On Confusion Hill’s website, Campbell suggests the train might still be maintained by his brother Don, who died in 2002. “Times I have found tools out by the train just like someone was working on it in the dead of night. The weirdest is that we have also heard the train whistle blow in the middle of the night! Nothing like this went on when my brother was alive so I figure that he’s still out there checking on the train for us. He took loving care of the train and truly enjoyed giving folks a ride in it,” writes Campbell. “I believe he just decided that this was where he wanted to stay and he was naturally just ornery enough that he did!” Whether the phenomena of Confusion Hill are illusion or supernatural is irrelevant, suggests Campbell, since “it’s set up to make you deal with gravity… A lot of these things truly are making the individual feel gravity.” That is, you’re having a genuine experience of physical laws in different ways. So whether you’re a skeptic, a scientist or a believer in supernatural oddities, there are questions to be asked at Confusion Hill. But however you explain the phenomena, there’s no denying the experience. And really, however a person chooses to interpret Confusion Hill, there is one thing that is pretty obvious to Campbell. “If you came here to have fun, you will,” he says. “If not, well, you won’t.” • (707) 925-6456 • wwwconfusionhill.com

I N N O VAT I V E WAY S TO E N J OY YO U R G O U R D S T H I S H A R V E S T S E A S O N IT'S OCTOBER. The chill of fall is just beginning to creep its way into the night air. The sky is a beautiful smear of baby blue, coral, magenta and persimmon. There’s talk of perfect Halloween costumes on the tongues of North State residents big and small. And there is a sudden, irresistible craving for all things pumpkin. This harvest season, let us help you find new and interesting ways to infuse your life with the spice that only pumpkin can bring.

CARVE OUT YOUR OWN NICHE

So, traditional pumpkin carving isn’t your thing? There are plenty of decorate-without-carving methods available. Consider drilling holes into your pumpkin. It’s a cool way to add an interesting texture to your gourd without wielding a knife. We’ve seen everything from an all-over polka dot pattern to an initial to a jack-o’-lantern face done fabulously using this method. You still have to carve out the top and scoop out the center. Add a candle or battery-operated tea light to radiate your pattern across the room. A cookie cutter can also make pumpkin decorating more fun and easy. Pick out your favorite metal designs and use a soft mallet to gently tap out the shapes onto your gourd. Be gentle – a strong arm could make for a mushy pumpkin. And that’s no fun.

GIVE YOUR GOURD A FACELIFT

The wonderful thing about having a sense of creativity is the joy that can be found in choosing the road less traveled, even where your harvest décor is concerned. If orange doesn’t go with your ensemble, whip out a paintbrush and some chalk paint and adorn your gourd with an unexpected shade. Add waxes and finishes to create a one-of-a-kind pumpkin that you’ll likely want to keep until long after Halloween. Stickers and glitter are a fun way to adorn your squash without having to make a single cut. Decorative furniture tacks can create a unique look and can even be used to spell out Halloween-inspired words like “Eeek!” and “Boo!” Double brownie points if you paint it first.

SERVE UP SOME FUN

We’ve all seen some awesome recipes using pumpkin as the main ingredient, but have you considered using your gourd as a means of serving your food? Find an extra large pumpkin, cut off the top, scoop out the center, add a shallow plastic bowl with ice and voila! Your pumpkin has become a decorative cooler for sodas, wine or beer bottles at your Halloween shindig. Need a fun and innovative way to serve up your veggies and dip? Use a small pumpkin, and using the same method used to create the cooler, turn that pumpkin in the ultimate dip bowl. Bet the kids will want to eat their veggies out of this! Hint: The same idea is pretty nifty for soup bowls as well. Yum! Display lollipops for your trick-or-treaters using your drill to create holes for the sticks. You’ll be the most sought-after stop in the neighborhood. 4 continued on page 48

OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 47

CREATE A WHIMSICAL CENTERPIECE

Still have your drill handy? Make some holes in your pumpkin and use it to hold beautiful fall-inspired florals for your table or mantle. From faux mums to marigolds, this is the perfect way to create a beautiful conversation piece. Finish the look by adding decorative corn husks, tree trunk slices, pine cones and other natural treasures. Use miniature pumpkins to light up your home with happiness. Pick up as many as you like, in all shapes, sizes and colors to add texture and dimension. Cut off the tops, scoop out the centers, and add candles or battery operated tea lights. Pumpkins can also double as decorative pots for live plants. Just slice off the top, scoop out the center and add your favorite plant in a small plastic container. What a sweet way to add some green – and some orange – to your home this fall.

LET YOUR PUMPKIN TAKE CENTER STAGE

This will only work if you’ve got wee ones. And by “wee,” we mean children under eight months of age (give or take a few months, depending on your child’s size). Hunt for the largest pumpkin you can find, one that could safely hold your little one. Cut off the top, scoop out the center, carve out leg holes and turn it into a seat for your little pumpkin. It’ll bear a close resemblance to a Bumbo® seat. Grab the camera. Fingers crossed your little pumpkin will keep still long enough for you to snap a few gems. Cutest. Photo shoot. Ever.

MAKE A HEALTHY SNACK

With all of that cutting and scooping out of pumpkins, you’re left with a delicious center with tons of potential. Sort out the pumpkin seeds, rinse thoroughly, boil in a bit of salt water, drain and then seek out your favorite pumpkin seed recipe. Enjoy them over a salad, yogurt or homemade granola and celebrate the season in edible bliss. •

GOOD FINDS

PINK POWER FINDING MORE THAN A WIG WITH SUSIE KIRCH’S TICKLED PINK

FOUR YEARS AGO, Susie Kirch’s young niece, Jill, was diagnosed with cancer. When it came time to find a wig after chemotherapy, it wasn’t easy. “We had to go out of town to find a good one, something youthful enough for her,” recalls Kirch. A couple of years earlier, Susie and her sisters had lost their mother to ovarian cancer. When they bought wigs for her online, the companies wouldn’t give them a refund if they weren’t right, only a credit. From these difficulties, Tickled Pink was born in 2012. A homey boutique run from Kirch’s Anderson home, Tickled Pink sells wigs, scarves, hats and other head coverings to those who have lost their hair because of chemotherapy. But it’s not just a shop, according to one customer. “She has a really nice home and a studio dedicated to the business. When you walk in the door, you just feel like Susie has been your best friend forever,” says Ann Carter, who was referred to Tickled Pink by Solace Cancer Care of Redding. “When you’re diagnosed with cancer, it’s shocking enough, but then after chemotherapy, you face losing your hair.” Kirch not only helped her select a wig that was the perfect color and fit; she helped Carter shave off her hair. “I didn’t want to wait for it to fall out,” Carter says. “We went out on her back porch and Susie gave me a GI Jane haircut. We laughed so hard that we cried.”4 continued on page 52 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 51

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2015

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 women 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 15th, 2015 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 & 3:00 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.

Kirch, who worked in medical and dental offices before she retired, says her best referrals come from happy clients. She works by appointment only, meeting with customers one-on-one and making sure they don’t feel rushed. She stocks about 25 to 35 wigs in various styles and colors that customers can try on in a private, nurturing space. If nothing suits, they look together at color swatches and place an order. Once the wig comes in, clients are not obligated to buy it if it’s not perfect. “I make sure they’re completely happy before they make that allimportant decision to buy,” says Kirch. “I love to see the smile on their faces when they try them on.” The wigs she carries are synthetic hair, which hold their style and cost much less. “They’re so much better made than they used to be,” says Kirch. “They’re made with a sheer, monofilament top now, which looks more natural and allows air to circulate.” Dimensional highlights, gradient colors and shadowed roots make them look more authentic than wigs of previous generations. She also stocks accessories such as wig stands and brushes, cotton caps to wear underneath and shampoo that’s environmentally friendly. Loreen Becker sought Kirch out after she was diagnosed with breast cancer last December. After chemotherapy in the spring, she went to Tickled Pink for help. “The minute I called her, we had an instant

rapport,” says Becker. “I got one of the Halo wigs and I wear it with a cute hat. I have migraines so the weight of a full wig is too much.” A Halo wig is open at the top, and is designed to be worn with a hat or scarf. “I get compliments on my cute hats all the time, but it’s really the hair that looks good,” she says with a laugh. Kirch considers Tickled Pink as much a service to her customers as a business. She encourages her clients to check with their insurance company about coverage. If the insurance company isn’t helpful, Kirch will call and even help with the billing or other paperwork. “I truly feel blessed to provide this service so life is a little easier on my clients during this difficult time. I’m just so happy to help someone who is down.”• Tickled Pink Wigs • By appointment only • (530) 410-4344 tickledpinkwigs@sbcglobal.net • tpwigs.com

thrill of the hunt OUT WEST OUTDOORS' MASTERFUL STORYTELLING WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELVES as blue collar hunting guys, you skip the fancy dinner at the hunting expos you find yourself lucky enough to be attending. Such was the case for Luke Griffiths, Dustin Janc, Jason Kohler and Zach Wusstig, four Shasta County friends in their late 20s and early 30s who work at Redding’s Costco and have formed Out West Outdoors, an outdoor media production company. The quartet attended the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City in February as entrants in the Western Big Game category of the Outdoor Film Tour competition sponsored by Sportsman’s Warehouse. “This was like a $200 per plate banquet, so we weren’t going,” says Griffiths, flatly, of the awards ceremony. It was quite the shock, then, when a cell phone rang and the presence of the friends was requested immediately at the gala event. Their film entry was about to be announced as a Top 10 Winner, and they needed to be there to be recognized. “That was a major turning point for us,” says Wusstig. Their 11-minute, 30-second film, “Experiences,” has been part of the Outdoor Film Tour this spring and summer as a result and has been shown throughout the United States. It's a rite of every hunter and fisher to come home from an expedition with a good story to tell. For the men of Out West Outdoors, the stories were proving almost impossible to tell properly with mere words.4 continued on page 56

As Griffiths describes it, the friends were finding themselves While the four are ever on the hunt, whether it be for wild “miles and miles in the middle of the wilderness, where a lot game or a slot in the Full Draw Film Festival, they know that, as of people don’t want to go.” Regardless of whether an outing Janc says, “You have to have the balance with your family time.” could be considered a success, it entailed an incredible amount “We all work full time and have kids and families,” adds Griffiths. of preparation and endurance to experience, and was always “We do this on the side because we love it.” something they wanted to share with family members and friends. When words failed, they decided to start documenting www.outwestoutdoors.tv with cameras, first still and eventually video. www.huntervids.com “We just started out with a point-and-shoot camera,” says Wusstig, “mainly for the experience of capturing what was going Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her on out there and showing it to our families.” Eventually, however, passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

Her as passion-filled as the hunting expeditions themselves. Out West favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change. Outdoors was born. “It’s all self-taught,” Janc says of the video production skills he and his friends have developed. “Our original goal when we started was to make a film worthy of the Full Draw Film Festival,” Griffiths says of the Oregonbased bowhunting film tour that screens throughout the western United States. The friends haven’t met this goal yet, but they’re on their way. The goal of Out West Outdoors videos isn’t to show a kill, but rather the work that goes into an expedition. For the friends, hunting is a passion for many reasons. “It’s in effect a conservation tool and a way to get clean and wholesome food,” says Griffiths. The desire to share the passion through media production has developed as “art for art’s sake,” he adds. “It’s an outdoor media company, but more than that, it’s four guys that have a passion for hunting and want to share the experience of it.” Although the men are proud to showcase the rugged backwoods of Northern California, they will be expanding their reach by filming mule deer A hunts in Nevada and Colorado. member of their team, Kohler, has also pulled the hunter’s version of the Golden Ticket, a California Elk tag, this year. “Essentially, it’s like drawing a lottery ticket,” says Janc. “A lot of people want it and don’t get it so we’re excited to film that as well.

d r a w For WHEN TRAVIS ARLEDGE WAS BORN, HE WEIGHED JUST 1 LB., 3.5 OZ. ONE PERSON GAVE HIS FRIGHTENED PARENTS HOPE: NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT NURSE JOANN THORPE OF MERCY MEDICAL CENTER REDDING, AND WINNER OF THIS YEAR’S NATIONAL NICU HEROES AWARD.

We’ll do everything we can to save your baby A wave of paralyzing fear washed over Chelsea Arledge in July 2008. It was a beautiful day in Redding, sunny and warm, but this first-time mother was in labor. And her baby wasn’t due until November. Chelsea had experienced complications from the beginning of her pregnancy. It wasn’t until later that doctors would discover she suffered from a septate uterus, a condition that made her uterus too small to carry a baby to term. When her water broke at 20 weeks, doctors told her the baby couldn’t survive; he needed more time. Three weeks and two days later, she went into labor. To Chelsea, the sounds of the delivery room seemed amplified. The voices of the doctors and technicians blended into one. In pain and frightened, convinced she was going to lose her baby, Chelsea felt helpless, and hopeless. That’s when Joann Thorpe, a neonatal intensive care nurse, came into the delivery room and took her hand. “We’re going to do everything we can to save your baby,” Thorpe said. “She was the first person to say that,” Chelsea says now, “and I immediately trusted her.” Travis was born weighing just 1 pound, 3.5 ounces, a size usually considered not viable, which is doctor-speak for “he can’t survive.” At just over 23 weeks, his lungs weren’t developed. The newborn would need to be on a ventilator for the first two months of his life. For eight days, he lived in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy Medical Center Redding, often attended to by Thorpe. “Travis was on the edge of viability,” Thorpe explains. “But he fought for life from the moment he was born.” She also watched over Chelsea and her husband Joseph, who was serving in Iraq at the time and who had been granted emergency leave. Thorpe knew they all had a long road ahead. When a baby is born prematurely, it can tear a family apart. The fear and stress of watching a child struggle with every breath is overwhelming. There are medical decisions to make, medical jargon to decipher. “People need to know what’s ahead, what the baby will go through,” says Thorpe. “They also need to know that there’s hope, especially when dealing with the greatest crisis of their lives.” She encouraged Chelsea and Joseph to take pictures of Travis, to document his life and his

progress. At one point, Joseph’s wedding ring fit all the way up Travis’ tiny arm. It was 44 days before they could hold him, and by then he had been transferred to a highly-specialized NICU that could help his lungs develop more. But it was Joann Thorpe who helped teach them how to change Travis’ diaper. It is Thorpe they credit with helping them all survive. Joann Thorpe became a neonatal nurse 27 years ago, in September 1989, not long after her youngest daughter, Jodie, was born suffering from respiratory distress, requiring a stay in the NICU. She remembers the terror and uncertainty; she knows well how hard it can be to understand the medical terminology. A nurse helped her to understand, and she paid it forward. She’s now a doting grandmother, and admits to occasionally thinking about retiring. But she can’t imagine not caring for babies, and not being an advocate for the parents. “Every day when I go to the hospital, there’s another family, another crisis. Another baby to help. That’s why I do what I do,” she says. It’s also why Joann Thorpe is a natural recipient of the 3rd Annual NICU Heroes Award, sponsored by Hand to Hold, a national NICU parent support organization, and Mead Johnson Nutrition Company, a leader in pediatric nutrition. Joann elected to have her $2500 award go to Mercy Foundation North to purchase rocker devices that can help soothe drug-exposed infants in Mercy Medical Center Redding’s NICU as they go through drug withdrawal. “I am so unbelievably honored to be recognized,” she says. “Helping babies and their families, becoming part of their lives forever, is truly the best reward.” Thorpe’s daughter Jodie (she also has an older daughter, Shannon) is now 31 with a daughter of her own, Reagann, who recently turned four. Chelsea, Joseph, Travis, and Travis’ little sister Ava, were all at the birthday party. When Travis was finally released from the hospital, he weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Today, he’s 7 years old and just started first grade. Though still small for his age, and a bit of a finicky eater, he’s healthy. And Chelsea Arledge is paying the hope forward, studying to be a neonatal nurse. She wants to provide other frightened parents with the support and love – the hope – she first received one day in July 2008 from a nurse named Joann Thorpe.

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF: I attended Red Bluff High School and have lived in Redding for 18 years. I have three children, Woodson, Whitney, and Annie, along with my husband’s children Sarah and P.J. My husband Eric and I have been married for 11 years. I enjoy cooking, hiking, boating and working out. I love to go to Mt. Shasta and Mc Cloud. I love Disneyland! And marshmallows! I am a huge animal lover. Tucker is my 9-year-old Lhasa Apso Yorkie mix – he has no idea he’s not one of the kids. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS? 34 years. I worked at The Green Barn in Red Bluff before owning The Snack Box on Main Street in Red Bluff. We sold that restaurant and then opened Déjà Vu. Both places have specialized in breakfast and lunch, but Déjà Vu also serves specialty coffees. DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOU WANTED TO OWN A RESTAURANT (OR TWO, FOR THAT MATTER)? I had no idea that’s the direction my life would take. I have always loved serving people and feeding people. I feel very fortunate to be in a business in which I can do what makes my heart happy. TELL US ABOUT DÉJÀ VU: I have about 23 employees and we are extremely blessed to have such an incredible staff. We serve breakfast and lunch from 7 am until 2 pm. We have Eggs Benedict, homemade corned beef hash, omelets, french dips, hot pastramis and – believe it or not – amazing fish tacos. We are known for our huge biscuits and large portions. We have a great coffeehouse inside the restaurant that we lovingly call “Javu.” We serve a variety of coffees, smoothies and pastries. The cinnamon rolls and sticky buns are fantastic. WHAT IS YOUR MOST POPULAR ITEM? Our BAS Eggs Benedict – it’s loaded with bacon, avocado and spinach and it’s delicious. Our omelets are pretty popular, too. OK, SO WHAT’S YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE? It’s a toss-up between the BAS Benedict, the fish tacos and the Conductor sandwich. It’s hard to choose! WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT OWNING A BUSINESS? I love building relationships with my customers and seeing them on a regular basis. I love it when the restaurant is full and I hear people talking, laughing and eating. It’s like having people at your house, having a great time and not having to do all the dishes. Being a part of the community I grew up in and raised my kids in is very important to me.

WHAT IS THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECT OF BEING A RESTAURATEUR? This business is very consuming. You have to find balance and you have to love it because there are daily challenges. WE HEAR YOU HAVE RECENTLY BECOME THE OWNER OF A SECOND RESTAURANT IN THE NORTH STATE. Yes! I’m now the proud owner of Gironda’s Italian Restaurant. I have known Jim and Penny Gironda for about 20 years. Jim shared with me that his health would prevent him from keeping the restaurant. I let him know that I was interested in buying the property and the next thing I knew, we were in the process of changing ownership. WHAT CHANGES DO YOU PLAN TO IMPLEMENT AT GIRONDA’S? I have simplified the menu and added some local wine. I have added some personal touches and implemented Happy Hour from 4 to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP THE SAME? I am keeping the name Gironda’s. I will continue to provide the great service, great food and atmosphere Gironda’s is known for. It’s a landmark here in Redding. Also, I’ll be focusing on the Rotachini on the appetizer menu. Jim and Penny created them and they are delicious! WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT LIVING IN THE NORTH STATE? It is so beautiful, and the people that live here are loving and kind-hearted. WHEN YOU AREN’T BUSY RUNNING TWO POPULAR LOCAL EATERIES, WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO EAT? Well, my secret will be out! I love Cookies and Yogurt, El Rinconcito, Shameless O’ Leerys and Janya’s Thai. I tend to stay with the mom-and-pops. WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT? Raising three of the most amazing people in my life - Woody, Whitney and Annie. I am very proud of all of them. They are kind, loving, generous, smart and each of them have helped me tremendously in all my endeavors. We laugh, we work, we play, we live and we love. WHAT DO YOU WORRY ABOUT MOST? I would like to tell you I don’t worry. But I have to say it’s that I am doing my best all the time. What feels right in my heart is what really matters. WHAT IS THE MANTRA YOU LIVE BY? Love what you do and do what you love. It will show, and what greater success can there be?

"ELUSIVE" MAY NOT BE A STRONG ENOUGH WORD to describe Bigfoot—a tall, hairy creature purported to hang out in secluded forests. But if you want to see him (her?), your best odds are right here in the North State. The Bigfoot Scenic Byway – an 89-mile stretch of Highway 96 from Willow Creek to Happy Camp – boasts the most Bigfoot sightings in the country. “It’s a fun place for people who are interested in Bigfoot – either the lore or actually looking for Bigfoot,” says Melissa Dougherty, executive director of the Willow Creek Chamber of Commerce. It’s easy to understand why a camera-shy creature might lay down roots here. Rugged wilderness, glacial lakes, mountain ranges and rushing rivers provide plenty of places to hide. There are also plenty of places to play if you’re a human. The byway winds through the Six Rivers and Klamath national forests. “We’re surrounded by wilderness,” Dougherty says. “The Trinity Alps are our backyard. People use this is a launching point for whitewater rafting, fishing for steelhead and salmon or sightseeing up in the mountains to get away from it all.”4 continued on page 64

This stretch of highway is part of the National Forest Scenic Byway system, designated by the U.S. Forest Service. It takes about two hours to traverse it if you're in a hurry, but it's easy to keep yourself busy over a long weekend (or more). The towns along the byway are steeped in character. Willow Creek is the “Gateway to Bigfoot Country,” and at the other end of the byway is Happy Camp, which includes an 18-foot-tall metal sculpture of Bigfoot. The legendary creature – known as Gigantopithecus by scientists – has been described as ranging from 6 to 12 feet tall, walking upright and covered in hair, not fur. Believers opine that it evolved alongside humans, but became exceptionally skilled at avoiding human contact. The phenomenon emerged in the late 1950s, and the most famous footage (known as the Patterson-Gimlin film) is purported to show a female Bigfoot in 1967 at about the midpoint of the Bigfoot Scenic Byway. The byway celebrates the mighty Sasquatch in everything from business names (Bigfoot Restaurant, Bigfoot Rafting, Bigfoot Books—the list goes on) to festivals, including the annual Bigfoot Days each Labor Day weekend. At the Willow Creek-China Flat Museum, you’ll be greeted by a 25-foot wooden Bigfoot in the parking lot, and the museum includes everything from plaster casts of giant footprints to a history of local sightings.4 continued on page 66

“Oh, people come from all over the world,” says Terri Castner, who runs the museum’s docent program. “People just love the mystery of it, because nobody’s captured one that we know of. People will say, ‘How come I’ve never seen a Bigfoot skeleton?’ Well, you spend time out in the woods—have you ever seen a bear skeleton? How many deer skeletons are out there? Nature takes care of her own.” Guests have visited from all over the world, including Hong Kong, Guam, Holland, Ukraine and Wales. “We had a couple from Abu Dhabi who came here for Bigfoot,” Castner says. Even if you don’t spot the big guy, you're sure to encounter all sorts of interesting wildlife - elk, deer, river otters, bears, bald eagles and osprey make their homes here. And don't forget your camera. Given all that rugged terrain, who knows what’s hiding out there? •

R E T S Y O UR O Y S I D WORL

THE

EK N EUR I S R OU TER T S Y O AY L DT B O B M U

THERE’S A RUGGED, ALMOST PARADOXICAL CHARM to California’s North Coast, with its blue-collar roots and Victorian airs. From logging and prospecting to not a few fine breweries, the region has its diverse industries. At the heart of this coast – and its industry – is Humboldt Bay, the largest protected body of water between San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound. But the significance of this bay goes deeper than its waters, which accounts economically for one of the region’s most significant exports: oysters. Though Humboldt Bay accounts for nearly 70 percent of oysters farmed in California, most Californians haven’t a clue about the source of their bivalves. Nor do they have the same preconceived ideas about farming oysters as they do about mining, logging, brewing or any other kind of farming. For those who haven’t trudged knee-deep in the shallows of Humboldt Bay, the only regular thought given to the briny delicacy is how it tastes when slurped through its half-shell. That might be true for most Californians, but not Sebastian “Oyster Dude” Elrite, owner of Aqua-Rodeo Farms, a 10-acre oyster farm just off the shore of Arcata. Elrite has worked in the industry since 1992, and like other farmers, has learned to work in cycles – but with the tides, not seasons. His skin is tanned, his blond hair stained by sun and salt: call him a man of the water before a man of the earth.4 continued on page 70 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 69

After so many years, Elrite still loves oysters. “Nah,” how could a person tire of them? he asks with a laugh. “They’re different every time.” And Elrite wants to give others the up-close opportunity to see what goes into farming oysters, and why he never tires of flowing with the tide. The Humboldt Bay Oyster Tours is a two-hour, $75 excursion. It begins at low tide, just east of the Eureka promenade, where Elrite helps passengers step carefully into his boat. Elrite is friendly, down-to-earth, as he answers questions: How is Eureka’s economy growing? When was the new promenade built? What other oysters are grown in the bay? The boat glides slowly past the privately docked boats, the deep-sea trawlers, the warehouses along the dock, and then speeds into the open bay. “Hold on to your hat,” he says over the engine and wind. The boat sloshes to a halt, and subtle ripples lap against its hull. The farms and hatcheries surround the boat, partially submerged, almost like Japanese rice gardens. PVC pipes rise from the water like signposts, marking the sunken acreage. All things considered, oyster farming doesn’t get too technological. There’s no advanced equipment to till the fields, or nutrient-enriched fertilizer for the soil – just the tide, the water and a few techniques to keep the oysters from clustering. Elrite settles the boat alongside a hatchery and slips into the waist-high water. “Once upon a time there used to be oyster espionage,” he says, discussing how farmers’ methods have diversified. But Elrite doesn’t patent his ideas. “Nah, I’m not too worried about that. I just want everybody to have oysters.” “How’s the water?” a passenger asks Elrite. “You know,” he considers the temperature, “it’s all right. I don’t have too many holes in my gaiters.” He reaches under the water and pulls up a string of oysters.

70 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

Elrite points to dark spots against the shell. “They settle larvae into spat on shells that are then transported in bags, which they then string up on ropes,” he explains. “Each shell can have up to 30-40 oyster spat, all little baby oysters attached to the mother shell.” The hatcheries are where young oysters “acclimate” to Humboldt Bay, “harden up,” and then are removed to where they are de-clustered by pneumatic hammers. Then it’s back into the bay. Back in the boat, Elrite discusses the next stop. “We’ll make an intermittent pit stop to show another technology.” He discusses new techniques for raising Kumamoto oysters, and the latest Seapa baskets, “which stands for sea purse baskets.” These baskets are tied together, almost like an underwater clothesline, which rises and falls with the tide, allowing the Seapa to rotate so oysters don’t cluster. Finally, Elrite brings the boat near his farm, where the water comes to just below the knees. Elrite disembarks and pulls the boat to shallower water, and his passengers follow suit, boots sinking an inch into the bottom of the bay. Elrite walks between rows of rebar pipes, shaped to hold baskets that contain single-seed Pacific oysters, which take about 18 months to mature. He explains that he’s switched to a method using long-line pipes, a plasticon-plastic rig to prevent baskets from rubbing against the rebar and breaking loose during strong currents. He turns a basket, checking for ready oysters, moving them around to keep them loose. 4 continued on page 72

The mud sucks with each step, and his passengers walk to the shore among a pile of large, clustered oysters. Elrite will eventually use a hammer to separate these oysters, so they can be sold individually. It’s something of an Easter egg hunt, searching for oysters ready to “harvest” and take back to the Humboldt Bay Tourism Center, where they will be prepared and eaten. But as an appetizer, Elrite pries an Olympia oyster, much smaller than the Pacific, from one of the rebar pipes. “Large amounts of Olympia oysters will set on them,” he explains, describing how the native oysters settle with the tide. “The larvae will attach to the rebar, and there’s not a big market, but I do sell some to the Tourism Center.” He takes some pliers and a knife and separates the shell, offering the small oyster to a passenger, who slurps it down. They have a briny, coppery finish. A guest says their distinct flavor is becoming popular in the Bay Area. “Oh, people are getting foodie on it? I like that kind of talk,” Elrite says with a laugh. Another passenger asks if he’s ever found a pearl. No, says Elrite, but a friend did once. Passengers bring their oysters to the boat, which

Elrite places in a bucket. He starts the engine, and the boat speeds across the bay, nearing a flock of bobbing cormorants. As the boat races past, hundreds of birds extend their wings and take flight. At the end of the tour, after the passengers have removed their boots and lifejackets, Elrite hands over the oysters, which will be prepared at Humboldt Bay Tourism Center. In this beautifully ornate, late-18th century building, the oysters are shucked and served, and the full circle closes. In less than 30 minutes, the oysters have gone from the bay to the dinner plate, and from there: down the hatch, but not before they’re checked for pearls. None this time, but what these passengers did find, through the Humboldt Bay Oyster Tour, was a unique experience, a real diamond in the rough. • Humboldt Bay Oyster Tours www.humboldtbayoystertours.com via Humboldt Bay Tourism Center 205 G St., Eureka • (707) 672-3850

ALL THE WAY HOME THE CALLAHAN RED BRIDGE

| BY GARY VANDEWALKER | PHOTOS: TARYN BURKLEO

IN 1851, Mathias Bernard Callahan's pregnant wife fell into the river at the southern end of the Scott Valley. Legend says Native Americans rescued her as she then went into premature labor and gave birth to a son. Here the family founded the town of Callahan, establishing a place for travelers and a growing Gold Rush town. A short distance out of town stands the Callahan Red Bridge. Built in 1906, the bridge spans the Scott River and has been used by those on foot, horses and cars for its 99 years of service. Built after the Gold Rush years, the bridge has seen the rise of the ranching community and the waxing and waning of the small community of Callahan, whose population of 50 watches over the local history. The red steelwork frame stands over wood beams. Beneath the wooden road, water rushes

underneath, leaving the valley and beginning a new part of its journey. Highway 3 bypasses the bridge, which serves the local traffic taking side routes through the countryside. The town of Callahan draws little attention. Those few who have reason to pass along Highway 3 move through a rich Gold Rush history. The Wells Fargo bank building, with its steel plate window coverings, stands empty. The Emporium welcomes those who take the time to stop for refreshment and look over the once-bustling town. The bridge leads a quiet life. In 2013, Caltrans inspected the bridge and found the lower wooden beams of the structure rotting. Unlike similar situations over the past4 continued on page 76 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 75

century when the bridge was refurbished, the Siskiyou County Roads Department closed the bridge. No plans were made to replace the 60 beams, and a piece of local history was drawing to a close. Local community leaders rallied and formed the Save Callahan Bridge Committee. The roads department agreed to do the repairs if the beams ($149 each) could be obtained outside the county budget. The committee set out to save the landmark. On August 2, 2014, it reached its goal and Siskiyou County workers put the wood beam spanners into place. Callahan's Red Bridge once again called travelers to her service. The Gold Rush days long past, the Scott Valley moves at a different pace. Callahan is a place mark in the history of California. The remaining families live in the shadows of the past, while creating their futures. The Red Bridge still remains beside them, always helping them make their way home. â&#x20AC;˘

YOUR FALL FACE THE BASICS AND MORE

HERE IN THE NORTH STATE, October is often one of the most pleasant and beautiful months. The scorching heat of summer tapers off and the first glimpses of fall begin to trickle in, bringing a crispness to the air that has been missing, the subtle change in lighting signaling the arrival of autumn. So what are we to do about our hair, skin, and makeup now that Hawaiian scents and tropical colors no longer seem appropriate? With easy skin care and hair, fall beauty is going to be way more fun than you remember.4 continued on page 80

OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 79

AUTUMN DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO MEAN EARTH TONES: Go bright, go sparkly. Line eyes with silver liquid liner for your new night-out eye look. Layer on black mascara for sex-bomb lashes that will make your eyes pop. Go with falsies for extra drama. And for those just-bitten lips seen on the runways—a little too flushed to be real—all you need is a dab of tinted berry balm. Call it “au natural 2.0.” After months of vibrant polish, nails get a breather, with nude nails and natural manicures. Try a new part in your hair: If you tend to the side, go middle. Strictly straight and center? Go for a deep side part for a mod faux side bang. Look to those dancer types for the ballerina bun—chic and easy!

MORE THAN

SKIN DEEP NOW FOR THAT SKIN. Don’t let the passage of time mute your glow. Here are the ins and outs of exfoliating, whether you need a mild buff or a full-on radiance reset. In your 20s, a healthy finish comes easily, though late nights, drinking or smoking will zap your youthful dew. How you wash your face matters, too. Use a cleanser with a gentle scrub, like rice extract, to buff away dead cells. Twice daily, apply moisturizer with ceramides, natural fats that seal microscopic cracks, to restore a plump, uniform surface. In your 30s, cell turnover slows down and dead cells can build up. Get religious about dissolving and sloughing off debris with a sonic cleansing brush and glycolic acid wash. Every other night, work in retinol to boost wrinkle-fighting collagen. A smooth surface reflects light way better than an uneven one. For 40s, you have to work harder to avoid a pileup, as skin cells now naturally turn over and shed about every two months (which is half as quickly as they did in your 20s). Exfoliate at least three times a week, and wear a vitamin C lotion under your SPF. At night, continue with the retinol, and before bed, apply a peptide cream to up the production of glow-enabling collagen and elastin. For 50s+, as you go through menopause, oil glands dry up, giving your complexion the blahs. A daily hyaluronic acid treatment worn underneath your moisturizer will plump and refresh by holding on to water. FOR IN-OFFICE PROCEDURES, try a peel with salicylic acid to dissolve excess skin cells. You’ll get a glow within three to five days of the first peel, though some may need several treatments for maximum results. Light therapy (IPL) will lighten and brighten in an overall way by using short blasts of light to penetrate the skin’s surface, destroying damaged cells and stimulating collagen growth to help create new ones. Speak with your dermatologist about your choices and the best treatments for your skin. • Melissa Gulden is an English teacher and sports enthusiast with an extensive background in cosmetics and makeup artistry.

WILD LIFE G A R D E N I N G M E E T S C O N S E R VAT I O N WHEN WE BRUSH BACK the surface of the earth in our own little corner of the world to lay within her womb the seeds of life yet to blossom, we are indeed preparing the way for the birth of something marvelous. All of us—wherever we are—can engage in the act of co-creating a wildlife-friendly habitat, says the National Wildlife Federation. Whether our human landscape is urban, suburban or rural, we can introduce native plants to attract butterflies,

bees, migratory birds, small mammals, frogs and other amphibians that help sustain local ecosystems. “The principles can be implemented anywhere,” says David Mizejewski, a naturalist with the National Wildlife Federation’s Garden for Wildlife program. “It does not matter where you live, how much space you have, your budget or your expertise. If you can plant something, even if it is in a pot on a rooftop, deck or urban balcony, you can participate in this program.” Formerly the Backyard Wildlife Habitat program, Garden for Wildlife attracts people who do not necessarily think of themselves4 continued on page 84

as hardcore wildlife conservationists, says Mizejewski, but who seek a personal way to engage in entry-level wildlife conservation. “Our program is based on basic wildlife biology 101,” he says. “The four essentials are food, water, cover and places to raise young. These are at the core of wildlife needs and the elements that we look for in gardens we certify.” Food comes from plants that provide nectar, seeds, berries/fruits, nuts, and sap for a host of birds and small mammals. Some wildlife species feed on the foliage of the plants, which Mizejewski admits not everybody loves but says is part of a natural habitat. While conventional garden wisdom propones the eradication of bugs, Mizejewski says insects are a normal, healthy part of the ecosystem, adding, “They are micro-wildlife, but they count as much as the bigger, more charismatic wildlife.” He cites studies showing a garden planted with native plants can support up to 60 percent more insects, the menu for 96 percent of the backyard birds people regularly try to attract. “If you don’t got bugs, you don’t got birds,” he adds. Water resources can be magnets for wildlife, particularly during a drought. “Something as simple as a bird bath counts,” says Mizejewski. “It can be anything from a flower pot drainage dish to a 30-gallon plastic prefab pond sunk into the ground.” Shelter offers wildlife safety from inclement weather and predators. “Not many wildlife species can find cover in a lawn,” says Mizejewski. “If you have shrubs or a living fence along the property line, or a big bed of native flowers that gives insects and small animals a place to hide from predators, you begin to see the value. Balance is key.” Places to raise young ensure a species will perpetuate itself. Attracting wildlife is good, but Mizejewski says, “If the habitat is not supporting the species at every stage of life and encouraging reproduction, it is not doing its job.” Butterfly caterpillars, for example, require a completely different habitat than adult butterflies. Each species can only feed on a limited number of host plants (Monarch caterpillars can only eat milkweed plants, according to Mizejewski), so from a practical standpoint, planting the host plant fosters more success because it is what attracts the females and males then follow. These four essentials—food, water, shelter, and places to raise young— can be regionalized and tailored to individual spaces and interests. “There is an element of place-based gardening here,” says Mizejewski. “The act of restoring habitat starts with the act of planting things with a purpose and that, by definition, is gardening.” • www.nwf.org/garden

L A K E S T R E E T D I V E B A N D CO M I N G TO T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E OVER THE PAST DECADE, Lake Street Dive has steadily built up a worldwide following thanks to energetic, highly infectious pop songs that draw on influences from Motown and ‘60s soul to British Invasion and jazz. The indie soul and jazz band has a somewhat unique instrumentation, with lead vocalist Rachel Price, Mike “McDuck” Olson alternating trumpet and guitar, Bridget Kearney on upright bass and Mike Calabrese playing drums. All profess to love the entire Beatles discography, along with The Mamas and the Papas, ABBA, The Drifters, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates, the Jackson 5 and McCartney and Lennon. They’ve graced late night show stages on The Colbert Report, Conan, and The Late Show With David Letterman. But their humble beginnings were rooted while students at the New

England Conservatory of Music in Boston in 2004. A 2012 homemade YouTube clip provided their biggest break. A recording of their slow, soulful cover of the Jackson 5's “I Want You Back,” filmed on a Boston street, got more than a million views after an anonymous fan posted it on Reddit. Actor Kevin Bacon tweeted about them, and T-Bone Burnett gave them a spot alongside Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford and Justin Timberlake at a New York concert celebrating the film “Inside Llewyn Davis.” At the same time, they were immersed in recording their 2013 release, “Bad Self Portraits” with producer/engineer Sam Kassirer. The album earned some of the best reviews of the band’s career, including one from Rolling Stone, which named the group one of the best artists of 2014.4 continued on page 88 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 87

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE LAKE STREET DIVE MUSIC? You know how earworms are hooks that get stuck in your head and you can’t help hearing it? We want to inject a healthy dose of those into your brain while simultaneously injecting worms into the parts of you that dance, such as your legs, rear end or pants. So, “pantsworms”? TELL US THE STORY BEHIND THE BAND’S NAME. Once upon a time a pale, struggling trumpet player from Minneapolis called three other people into a classroom and told them that if they didn’t play bar band music with him, the kind you’d hear in a dingy bar on Lake Street in his hometown, he would freeze our assets and post mean things about us on Facebook. We humbly agreed and gladly stuck around. Our assets are now liquid and we’re making more music than ever. DESCRIBE THE BAND’S DECADE TOGETHER. Year 0-4: “Are we doing this?” Year 5: “Let’s make a record.” Year 6: “Let’s make another record and go places other than Boston.” Year 7-9: “Let’s keep making records and quit our jobs.” Year 10: “Are we doing this?” WHAT’S THE ADVANTAGE OF THE WHOLE BAND HAVING A BACKGROUND IN CLASSICAL AND JAZZ MUSIC? Advantage is most evidenced in the ease of rehearsal and arrangement. The common ears and vocabulary make things run smoothly. WHAT EXPOSURE HAS BEEN MOST INFLUENTIAL IN GIVING YOU A HIGHER PROFILE? Most assuredly the “I Want You Back” video. That was at least the first biggest thing. One million views is currency this day and age. WHAT ARE THE INDIVIDUAL MUSICAL INFLUENCES THAT EACH OF YOU BRINGS TO YOUR SIGNATURE SOUND? The Beatles for their limit pushing, Ella Fitzgerald for the swing, Miles Davis for the fearless cool, Carole King for the timeless melodies and meaningful words (from lyric writers, but still). HOW DOES “BAD SELF PORTRAITS” COMPARE TO YOUR TWO PREVIOUS PROJECTS? In a word, maturity. The songs have more depth, more weight, more experience and road testing behind them. There was purpose behind it, too, that extended beyond the desire to create a coherent work of art. We wanted to bare ourselves a bit more and turn some heads if we could. HOW DOES THE SONGWRITING AND PERFORMANCE COLLABORATION WORK BETWEEN THE FOUR OF YOU? Performance has always been liquid, shared; collaborative to a fault. Sometimes we have so much fun goofing around together we have to remind ourselves there are people watching. Songwriting happens one at a time, alone in a room, worked out until it’s right. We’ve been moving slowly, organically toward more song building as a group. Perhaps if we did more together it’d be greater than what we can do as individuals. WHAT IS ON THE HORIZON? Bigger shows, musical departures, farther reach in tours, making families and hopefully a little more time to rest. We’ve been hitting it hard. •

TRICK, DON’T

CHEAT.

HOLIDAYS START WITH HALLOWEEN

The neighborhood is abuzz with activity. The kids get in their costumes, you pick up pizza for convenience and after you get back from the evening’s festivities, there sits a huge bag of candy. This is where the urge to go off your nutrition course begins. Follow these daily tips to fight the holiday pitfalls. FILL YOUR HANDS. When you attend a party, grab a glass of water to hold so you aren’t as easily tempted to keep reaching for the finger food. KNOW YOUR TREAT INTAKE. If you have a sweet tooth, allow yourself to one candy cane to enjoy instead of eating out of a candy dish.

It will help you to stick with the amount you plan to eat. FIND ALTERNATIVES TO EATING. Make a list of things to do besides eating: take a walk, call a friend, do some cleaning, etc. BE CAREFUL ABOUT TREAT PURCHASES. Don’t buy goodies too far ahead of an event or you may be tempted to eat them. Store them out of sight to help save them for the event instead of becoming a snack. EAT A SNEAL BEFORE THE PARTY. Be sure to eat some protein and carbohydrates prior to a holiday party; never go to a party on an empty stomach.

CRAFT IT D I V I N E D I N I N G A R E A D E CO R AT I N G I D E A S

HUTCH MAKEOVER A hutch inherited from a beloved family member or found at a yard sale can be a beautiful statement piece in the dining area. This featured item is French Provincial. While it has exquisite lines, the standard color of off-white and gold didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really go with the style of the room. With a little paint and updated hardware, this outdated hutch will not only be a show stopper, but provide storage space.

YOU WILL NEED: spray cleaner paper towels satin or semi-gloss paint ultra smooth sponge roller small paintbrush

1. Remove all hardware. 2. Thoroughly clean the furniture. 3. Allow to fully dry. 4. Put down your first light coat. The key to getting a smooth finish on furniture if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a spray gun is using an ultra smooth roller. 5. Once paint is completely dry, apply another coat. Plan to do about three all together. 6. Once the piece has no tackiness to its surface, take a fine grade sandpaper to it. You can sand to soften or you can sand to shabby, whichever you prefer. 7. Wipe item down with a damp cloth and dry with lint-free towel. 8. Apply a finishing paste and build up to desired sheen. 9. Reattach hardware. (See tutorial below on how to achieve a patina.) Note: The paint used on this item is Behr Teal Ice, mixed with an equal amount of white paint.4 continued on page 92 OCTOBER 2015 ENJOY | 91

AGING METALS WITH PATINA Patina items add that special something when used as accent decor. There are different ways to achieve the look, but the best results come from using Modern Masters Metal paint, which comes in a variety of reactive paint colors and aging solutions and can be applied to virtually any surface. Use on hardware, lighting fixtures, vases, jars, candle holders, picture frames, flower pots, wood items; the possibilities are endless. For this project you will need reactive paint and activator which comes in rust, green patina or blue patina, as well as a spritzer top, sealer and paintbrush (gloves are recommended). 1. Make sure your item is free of grime. 2. If you are applying more than one coat, allow paint to dry before adding another. Once you have reached your desired coverage and the paint is still wet, immediately spritz your item lightly with the patina spray. Don’t worry if the patina drips down the sides; it will add character to your piece. 3. As the patina dries, it will deepen, so allow it to set before you add more paint and patina. The more paint and patina you add, the darker the item will turn, to an almost black/gray. 4. Apply a sealer once dry. Notes: Aging Blue Patina and Bronze Reactor Paint were used on the items pictured.

MASON JAR CHANDELIER This mason jar chandelier is a one-of-a-kind item. The chandelier and lids were aged with the patina steps outlined above, and the jars are vintage blue glass Balls, but any type of mason jar would work. You will need a drill, small drill bit, wire or tin cutters, gloves and some patience. 1. Remove your existing glass shades, take the socket ring and draw a circle inside the mason jar lid to provide a pattern for cutting. 2. Drill an opening into the center of the circle large enough to give your cutters access. Wear gloves, as the metal will be sharp. 3. The opening in the lid must be a bit larger than the socket ring, but test the fit by sliding it onto your socket. It’s much easier to make it larger than it is start over if it is too big. 4. Put your lid inside the ring before you put it on the socket and screw on the socket ring. The socket ring will hold your lid in place. 5. Insert your light bulbs they need to fit through the mouth of the jar) and screw the mason jar into the lid. Note: 40-watt auradescent bulbs seem to give off the most pleasing light. • Jennifer Highet resides in Redding and holds a degree from Chico State University in computer animation.

WHAT’S COOKIN’

October Recipe

A year ago this month, we traveled to South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, and along the way, sampled many indulgent dishes of the south. Charleston was our first stop, arriving late in the evening. At check in, we asked where to eat. She started with the Cracker Barrel, but we quickly asked, “Where would you eat dinner?” She recommended Nigel’s Soul Food. Directions, please! Shrimp and grits were on the menu, and they were delicious! The folks in Nigel’s kitchen know what they are doing, producing perfectly seasoned dishes, with all the Southern Low Country flavor one could possibly hope for when visiting this area. Wherever we went, one of us would order Shrimp and Grits. Every dish was just as good as the last. Recipes may have varied with milder or stronger flavors, but the gravy, always thick and rich and the grits, creamy and delicious.

98 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

At a popular restaurant in Charleston, I asked our server if the kitchen would share its recipe for Shrimp and Grits. Soon she emerged from the kitchen, paper in hand, on which she had written the ingredients the chef called off to her…a splash of this… a dash of that. On the reverse was the recipe for the biscuits that Ron had enjoyed. Love Southern hospitality! I’ve played with the list and with the help of other great Southern recipes, I think this is pretty close to dishes we loved on our trip. It is pretty simple, but do have everything ready before you begin cooking the shrimp. They only take a few minutes to cook, and you won’t have time for chopping or juicing a lemon. Once everything is assembled, this recipe is a snap. This Southern comfort food will warm your soul.

Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Combine the shrimp with the lemon juice, a couple of generous dashes of hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Let sit while you begin the grits and gravy. STEP 2: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits a little at a time until all incorporated. Continue whisking for about 30 seconds to keep from clumping. Once the grits return to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender, thick and creamy. Remove from heat and stir; add the butter and salt, followed by the cheese. If desired, add a splash of hot pepper sauce and cover to keep warm. STEP 3: While the grits simmer, get the gravy under way. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until brown, but still limp. Stir in the onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and garlic and continue cooking until onion, pepper and jalapeno are limp, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, sprinkle the flour over the mixture, combine and cook for 5 minutes longer. Stir in the stock and allow to come to a slow boil, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. STEP 4: Just before serving, return the gravy to medium heat and stir in the shrimp. Let mixture cook just until the shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3-5 minutes. To serve, mound the grits in individual large shallow bowls or on plates and cover with a serving of the shrimp gravy. Garnish with green onions and dig in!

We have such a rich and varied music scene in this part of California, and we are blessed with terrific venues and fantastic concerts. Some shows stand out more than others. Some are etched indelibly in our memories for any one of a number of reasons. We posed this question to our listeners the other day: “What is your favorite concert of all time?” Garth Brooks was mentioned the most, and Chris LeDoux got the second most mentions. Here are some of the other answers.

“The Zac Brown Band in Redding was the best. The whole band is an amazing group of talent.” Sue

“My very first concert - Peter Frampton, Fleetwood Mac and Gary Wright at a Day On The Green in Oakland.” Terri

“One of the best concerts I ever attended was the Dixie Chicks.” Shannon

“Up until a few years ago, the best concert I ever went to was The Beach Boys. Then I went to see Cher in her last year of touring and OMG!” Susan

“ZZ Top at the Cow Palace. They came out of the rafters.” Harold

“Elvis at Caesar’s Palace in Lake Tahoe - 1972, amazing.” Linda

“Bob Dylan at the fairgrounds in Red Bluff. $20 at the door. It was amazing.” Cathy

“Woodstock! I was 17.” John

“Stagecoach Music Festival, hands down. Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Allman Brothers and more.” Amanda

“The Blues Brothers.” Joe

“The Eagles is one of the best concerts I have ever seen.” Ron

“Kenny Rogers and Crystal Gayle in Oakland in 1983. It was my first concert and nothing has ever topped it.” Angie

“Paul McCartney!” Linda

“Green Day was amazing. Didn’t like them before I went to the show. Left a huge fan.” Dave

“Trick Pony, Chris Cagle, and SheDaisy. I saw them in Columbus, Ohio, for 98 cents in 2000.” Kacee

“Best concert: The Beatles. 1964. Yes, I screamed.” Debbie

“Black Oak Arkansas in 1973.” Bonni

“Hillary Duff at Konocti. The lead singer of Metallica was there and he drank beer with me.” Candice

“Monsters of Rock, 1994. Metallica, Guns ‘n Roses, Warrant, Megadeth, Skid Row, Judas Priest.” Pat “Brooks and Dunn.” Steve “Nickelback, Buck Cherry and Three Days Grace. Awesome concert.” Sandra “Rod Stewart.” Cindy “Best concert was Eric Church, Kip Moore and Justin Moore.” Mindy

“John Cougar Mellencamp at Arco Arena in 1988. Great energy.” Debbie “Ted Nugent and Kiss at the same show.” Bob “Eric Clapton in San Jose. My mom and I took me for my 16th birthday. It was the best present ever.” Scott My radio partner Patrick said his all-time favorite was a Chris Isaak show. I have been to so many concerts! It’s hard to pick one. I have seen the Grateful Dead more than any other band.

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:

SMELL

Love Spell Candle by The Good Stink

There is nothing like the scent of a candle to warm up a room. The Good Stink, poured into retro-inspired mason jars, offers some amazing scents like Honky-Tonk and Love Spell .

TASTE

Chocolate Torte by Corrine Wittman & Gold “Let’s Party” sign by Debra Drake

Corrine’s Artisan Bakery bakes only organic and whole grain deliciousness. Corrine whipped up a Chocolate Torte that is out of this world—so special that our staff ate it before we could get a picture of it! And if you haven’t quite mastered the art of piping “happy birthday” onto a cake, add one of our sparkly cake toppers!

TOUCH

Recycled Wood Heart by Viki Twyman of Lorie Lynn Designs

Looking for just the right gift? This rustic, textured wood heart design, made lovingly with reclaimed pieces and old hardware, is a touching birthday gift for that special someone.

SOUND

Wine Glasses by Dara Kelley Dirt Road Designs

Besides the birthday song and the resounding “surprise” yelled out by family and friends, there is nothing that says celebrate like the clinking of glasses. A good wine is said to fulfill all five senses — its color, aroma, body, and taste fulfill four of those. The clinking of glasses supplies the fifth.

BEING RAISED AN ARMY BRAT is a rare character quality to head a resume. For Dan Dorsey, one of six children born on Army bases from Europe to Alaska, this experience provided him the drive and intuition to make a difference in the lives of military families in Siskiyou County. Dorsey’s parents left military life to settle into Northern California. In his junior year at Anderson High School, Dorsey applied to work for the Forestry Service. “It was that rare time when they were still hiring 17-year-olds,” he says. His childhood background among the military created a drive for distinguished service in fire service, where he became a captain, serving throughout California overseeing engines, medical services and helicopter management. “I directed firefighters from the left seat of a helicopter high above the forest,” he says. Making Mount Shasta his home base, he returned time and again to his wife, Sue, until retiring from his career. But Dorsey found himself unable to watch his world pass by without him. “I heard the local National Guard, the 132nd, were being deployed to Afghanistan,” Dorsey says. “I knew people wanted to give hams and turkeys to the families for the holidays, but remembering my own upbringing, they needed so much more.” Dorsey spoke to the unit’s staff sergeant, Joseph Hatten. He learned the soldiers’ main concern was that their families were being cared for, while a package from home while overseas would be nice. From here the Home Guard formed. Under Dorsey’s command, the Home Guard began to assemble a brigade of volunteers. When a deployed soldier’s family needed help, a list of plumbers, electricians, babysitters and snow removal volunteers stood ready to come into action. When a volunteer was unable to provide the service, there was a list of contractors who would give the families their help at a discount. Each soldier possessed a Home Guard 114 | ENJOY OCTOBER 2015

contact card and could ask for someone to deliver flowers or a gift for a special occasion. In all, 150 volunteers and 30 organizations joined the Guard. Care packages were customized for each soldier. A Christmas card campaign showered local troops with wishes from the county. Boxes filled with gummy bears, beef jerky and a stray cigar made their way to the battleground on the other side of the world. Throughout the 132nd’s deployment, care packages arrived each month. When Dorsey heard the soldiers had no California flag to fly, he arranged for several to be shipped in a box full of flags and jelly beans. Firewood was delivered to a soldier’s mother. For their last Christmas, Dorsey arranged the presence of two real Christmas trees. Then the Home Guard sponsored a homecoming, welcoming the soldiers home. Last year, Dorsey was selected by Northland Cable as the winner of their Hometown Hero contest. He divided the cash prize among the Home Guard, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. His service never stops. He can found painting a flagpole or organizing local Scout troops putting flags on veterans’ graves for the holidays. He coordinates a free annual dinner for veterans through the Elks Lodge. The Home Guard has transformed into the Home Guard, Army of Hope, still serving deployed soldiers from Siskiyou County. Dorsey now focuses on working with veterans. “I still watch our firefighters and so much want to be in that mix, “Dorsey says. “I have a different calling now, a simpler one. Helping neighbors help neighbors, that’s what the Home Guard is all about.” •
