as owner of two businesses I never felt that I had the time to exercise. Now I work my schedule around my workouts so that I have the energy and strength to handle the stresses of the day!

The results that my workout partner, Dawna, and I have achieved through personal training have been incredible!

I have far more energy, my clothes fit me completely different, and I’m more confident in who I am.

Zak, my trainer, keeps me accountable, coaching me like a player in a ball game.

He doesn’t accept excuses for eating lousy or not giving 100%! adamson’s has helped me redefine my life!

adamson’s peak performance is different than a regular gym. I feel completely comfortable working out in their small, friendly environment. The trainers genuinely care for the people they work with and they offer the complete fitness solution. my workout partner and I began with the Lean-Body program which is a combination of the Take Shape for Life weight loss program and a 12-week personal training program. wow, the workouts were always changing, always challenging, and always fun!

Yvonne Mazzotta publisher Michelle Adams publisher A stroll across the Sundial Bridge on a cool evening, a leisurely bike ride under trees whose leaves are starting to turn, a glorious sunset over the Sacramento River – some say there’s no lovelier time of year in the North State.

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

We’re always humbled by our community’s unwavering patriotism, and a new Shasta Lake monument is a sobering reminder of a day that none of us will ever forget. A section of I-beam from the World Trade Center is the centerpiece of this tribute, which was brought to the North State thanks to a broad community effort.

Tight budgets continue to squeeze our local schools, but a group of arts lovers are doing their best to ensure that our robust music education programs remain strong. A Sept. 29 concert by Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women will benefit the Redding School District’s music programs. Alvin’s show last year drew a huge, appreciative crowd to the Cascade Theatre stage and we’re looking forward to the encore. So are the schools: “We know the power of music education in terms of higher levels of reading and math scores,” says District Superintendent Diane Kempley.

Looking for a way to while away a cool fall evening? Take a stroll through one of the North State’s used bookstores. One person’s cast-aside novel is another bibliophile’s treasure, and these shops are stuffed with gently used books from every genre. Go treasure hunting!

It’s a rare gift when we have the opportunity to meet someone who truly changes our lives – someone so inspirational, so engaging, that their influence lingers with us. Charlie Price is one of those people. This local novelist is unafraid to tackle painful topics like homelessness, addiction and mental illness to illustrate that people can overcome life’s biggest challenges to leave a positive mark on the world.

As always, we’ve got plenty to keep you busy this fall. Stimulate your soul with a trip to the North State Symphony, which kicks off its 10th season soon – or top off your gas tank and meander over to Del Norte County, where you can recharge your batteries under a canopy of redwoods while you listen to the ocean crash on the shore.

We wrap up this year’s Enjoy Movies in the Park series this month, and we hope to see you at the Martin Luther King Jr. Park on a Friday night. And starting in September, you can learn more about some of the folks featured in our stories on the radio, thanks to a new partnership with Lynn Fritz and KLXR. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Enjoy autumn!

ENJOY MAGAZ IN E H ITS T H E AIRWAV ES WI T H K L X R A ND LY NN FR I TZ Can’t wait for your next issue of Enjoy Magazine to arrive?

Never fear – there’s now more than one way to get your fix.

An innovative partnership among Enjoy, Lynn Fritz and Mike Quinn of KLXR 1230 AM will bring some of your favorite stories to the radiowaves starting in September.

It’s all part of Fritz’s new one-hour weekly radio show, “Exceptional Living,” which will run at 8 am Saturdays. The first two shows of the month will be called “Enjoy Exceptional Living,” and will expand on stories that first enchanted readers on the pages of Enjoy.

“The people and places in Enjoy are fascinating parts of our community, and this is an opportunity for us to share even more about them with our listeners,” says Fritz, a licensed marriage and family therapist.

KLXR was a perfect fit, Fritz says, as station owner Quinn is a steadfast champion of all things local. He will provide the airtime, and Fritz will produce and host the program. Story topics will be proposed by Enjoy Managing Editor Ronda Ball. The audio files will

17 Enjoy September 2010

also be posted on Enjoy’s website for listeners who’d like an encore.

The first two “Enjoy Exceptional Living” shows in September will introduce the collaboration and partnership between Enjoy Magazine, KLXR and Lynn Fritz and bring new dimension to the stories about local author, Charlie Price. Hearing Price’s voice makes his compelling life story that much richer, Ball says.

Some weeks might also include an appearance by the article’s author, who can provide some behind-the-scenes details that went into crafting the story.

“We’re looking for real strong community stories about a person, place or event,” Ball says. “What we like about the idea is that it can expand on a story and give people even more insight on this wonderful community we live in.”

The last two Saturdays of each month will feature a broader range of community interest topics, focusing mainly on women’s issues, Fritz said. • Enjoy Exceptional Living 8 am Saturdays KLXR 1230 AM

secondchapter FINDING NEW LIFE IN USED BOOKS

Most bibliophiles will tell you that the appeal of a bookstore is the sheer number of possibilities it affords: romance, adventure, nostalgia, perspective. The variety within just one genre – even one author – can occupy a reader’s imagination to untold lengths. Taking those possibilities and adding layer upon layer of history and shared experience the way a used bookstore does? It’ll blow the dust jacket off your mind.

Every used book offers the author’s story, but also tells a tale of being adopted, handled, creased, pored over and passed on. Many have cryptic dates and names scribbled inside, inscriptions of a moment when they spent lazy Sunday afternoons in a hammock or were feverishly bent open until the thinnest hours of the morning revealed the final plot twist.

This sense of multi-layered experience is what draws the owners of Redding’s used bookstores to a life spent in stacks of aging paperbacks. These women and men aren’t just bookworms in their niche, they’re conduits of stories, adding their moment into the many each used book represents. They share their favorite authors and series with their customers, and receive the same in kind. Though

not impossible, it is difficult to find a similar interplay between shopkeeper and customer at a large-scale chain store, where the books are new and anonymity is prevalent. For the patrons and proprietors of the used book world, the communing is as addictive as the reading itself.

“I think most used bookstore owners know the books better than (their counterparts) at the new stores,” muses Richard Lucas, owner of All About Books, “because it’s a passion and not just a job.” All About Books is a peaceful, light-filled shop on Lake Boulevard with plants, pottery and local art adorning the tops of shelves.

Terry Loomis, owner of Paperback Trader, has called her Bechelli Lane shop home since 1983. Her store is a labyrinthine series of bookshelves so full that there are literally books on makeshift archways overhead. Part of her time-honed perspective includes recognizing the changing trends of both customer demographic and genre popularity: “When I started, people were interested in horror, then it shifted to true crime. The newest craze is the paranormal.” 

continued on page 21

September 2010 Enjoy 20

Employee Jane Naccarato adds the sailing genre to that list.

“We keep the sailing books behind the counter because they’re so popular,” she explains. All have noticed their customer base skewing younger over the years, and Loomis now greets the grandchildren of readers she sold books to more than 20 years ago.

Nearby, on Hartnell Avenue, Mary Reed sits nearly buried by stacks in her store, Book Country. There are bags of books next to boxes of books pressed against stacks of books leaning against shelves of books. Reed has seen her customer base increase as a result of the struggling economy. “I’ve had a lot of people shut off their cable and buy more books,” she declares. Lucas has also observed a shift in business relative to the changing financial climate. “A 50-cent book is cheap entertainment,” he notes, adding that a used bookstore offers readers the opportunity to try out a new author or genre without risking much money, a sentiment echoed by the other proprietors.

The primary draw of the used bookstore is the lower price for a bibliophile’s latest fix. And while there’s nothing like that newbook smell or the feeling of putting the first crack in the spine of an otherwise pristine page-turner, the used book experience is itself a significant appeal. The selection in a given store can be delightfully unpredictable, the staff tends to be more knowledgeable (and conversational) about your choice of material, and you get to play treasure hunter and rebel when you scour an assortment that could contain an out-of-print or banned book.

Readers, by their very nature, are intrigued by knowledge and unique experience. It’s no wonder why online reviews of local used bookstores like Cal’s Books on Westside Road crow about “the owner going the extra mile to find what you’re looking for.”

Reviewers of Lisa’s Book Nook, on Buenaventura Boulevard, praise the owner’s friendliness, knowledge and recommendations.

Bogbean, a Redding staple in the Foundry Square shopping center, is popular among customers and reviewers for its curio shopstyle atmosphere and music selection. Scan reviews of corporate booksellers and you’ll find the compliments revolve less around interpersonal experience and more around the available coffee and free wi-fi.

This difference isn’t news for the owners of Redding’s used bookstores; they know their connections with their customers are what keep the doors open and lights on year after year. “You get to know people,” Loomis says, “that’s the best part.” Camaraderie isn’t the only icing on the cake: “Free books!” Naccarato adds.

And they all lived happily ever after. •

theman withthe redshoes

radio personality garrison keil Lor at the cascade “Be well,” he always says, “do good work, and keep in touch.”

Part charge, part blessing, any fan of author, humorist and radio personality Garrison Keillor is familiar with the Minnesota native’s trademark sign-off. An estimated four million listeners tune in to his weekly live variety show, A Prairie Home Companion, on 450 radio stations every week, and on September 21, 996 locals will be able to sit down with Keillor as he brings his one-man show to Redding’s Cascade Theatre.

The murmuring man with the red shoes and the sibilant whistle in his speech is a staple of public radio, and Keillor’s position captures an elemental experience: storytelling. In addition to his signature role as host of A Prairie Home Companion, Keillor is perhaps best known for his published and extemporaneous accounts of life in the fictional town of Lake Wobegon, Minnesota. In Lake Wobegon, Keillor explains, “all the women are strong, all the men are good looking and all the children are above average.” The mishaps of Lake Wobegon’s residents are rarely dangerous or scandalous, but are instead the plights of floundering decorum, meandering intentions and the simple, occasional discordance of personalities, though all this ordinary human tumult is made extraordinary by its telling.

Keillor is a keen observer of seemingly unremarkable things and appears to relish reflecting and refracting them back to his listeners with good-natured wit.

There’s a fundamental, undeniable difference between absorbing a story on one’s own and being the captive audience of someone speaking a tale into the ether. Being told a story, no matter how old you are or how austere you think you are, recalls formative hours spent on cozy laps as a familiar voice enlivened the adventures of Peter Rabbit, Harriet the spy and Frodo Baggins. The combination of a custom so essentially human that it precedes written language with a medium searching for its place among modern entertainment is irresistible. That surreal intersection is unique to the world of public radio, and Keillor’s stories have the ability to make listeners nostalgic for places they’ve never been to and people they’ve never met.

It’s rare to encounter anything that makes us stop in our tracks anymore. The world is more accessible than ever before, in ways that ensure if we miss the last five minutes of something, we can always Google it later, press “record” on the DVR or download it to our 23 Enjoy September 2010

phone. Radio is a last vestige of “instant” entertainment, and each of us has sat in our car in the driveway for long moments, attempting to catch the end of a moving song, riveting interview or amusing story. For many, Keillor establishes “appointment radio” in a way that few other airwave contributors have been able to accomplish.

His singularity also allows for serendipitous moments of finding unexpected union with another person under Keillor’s umbrella: anyone can stand around the water cooler discussing the latest primetime medical drama, but finding another rabid public radio fan who can sing the powder milk biscuit jingle or execute a sly Guy Noir reference carries an element of delightful distinction. Keillor’s appeal is more significant than a simple victory in a popularity contest: time spent in his company irrefutably bestows listeners with an appreciation for craft, story, wit and the deft handling of the English language. Broaden that effect to the public radio medium as a whole and you take advantage of a bounty of information and perspectives on anything from science to the silver screen.

Attendees of Keillor’s September 21 performance may also learn a thing or two about their own town, as the genial bard is known for researching his host cities and extolling their oddities and charms as he similarly does the many facets of his dear Lake Wobegon.

Whether he’ll use the Cascade stage to report any of the news from the imaginary hamlet is uncertain, but when Keillor comes to town, you put on your best red shoes, pull up a comfortable chair and listen to the story. • An Evening with Garrison Keillor September 21, 2010 Cascade Theatre 1733 Market St Redding, CA 96001 530-243-8877 www.cascadetheatre.org

School Lunches…. Hints and Healthy Options:

Another school year begins, as does a big challenge for many parents – preparing tasty and nutritious lunches that are sure to be kid-pleasers. Hectic mornings now include preparing kid-friendly lunches which are not only healthy, but also fun, appetizing and sure to be the envy of others.

• Involve children in the planning and shopping.

• Add fun items that your kids can help prepare.

• Children may be less likely to reject items if they invest a little time in their own lunches.

• Involve them in food selection, which may require a little compromise. Let them suggest items they would love to find in their lunch and add it to your grocery list if suitable.

• Let your child pick out and decorate a lunchbox. Paints or markers are a fun way and personalize it with a permanent marker. For paper bags, they can use colorful stickers and markers.

• Re-usable freezer gel packs keep lunches cool and fresh. An insulated Thermos works great for soups, stews or other hot foods. For cold items, fill with ice cubes and allow to chill. Great for yogurts, smoothies or protein drinks.

• Freeze a bottle of water or a juice. Add to the box and by lunch, it will have thawed and be ready to drink.

• Pack lunch foods into easy-to-open packages.

• Let kids pre-package chips and cookies in bags on the weekends. Store in a basket and grab one as needed.

• Make a large batch of puddings and gelatins on the weekends. Pour into individual containers and refrigerate.

• “Lunchables” are popular with kids, but not the most healthy or economical choice. So, create your own version using healthy foods and package in colorful containers, personalized with stickers.

• For salad lovers, use a baggie to hold lettuce, grated carrot, sliced celery, cucumber, and green pepper. Include a small container of salad dressing. When ready to eat, pour some salad dressing into the bag and toss before eating.

• For variety, try small buns, crackers, rice cakes, mini croissants, pita bread, small bagels, tortillas or cinnamon bread filled with a favorite sandwich meat or salad.

• Cut sandwiches in smaller pieces. Cookie cutters create playful shaped sandwiches which are easier to handle and more fun.

• Ketchup and mustard packets from fast-food restaurants are great for use in lunches.

• If your child has a snack period, pack foods that will give them energy for the rest of the day: try half a sandwich, peanut-butter-filled pretzels or fresh fruit.

• Avoid snacks with sugar and trans fats.

Include veggies or a piece of fresh fruit.

• Make your own snack mixes or cereal bars.

Including healthy additions like dried fruits, unsalted nuts, pretzels and baked crackers gives them something crunchy, sweet or savory.

Once in a while, pack a lunch-box surprise.

Don’t include something every day. In fact, it will be more special if it’s an unexpected surprise. It’s a simple gesture that will let your kids know your thoughts are with them. Some great ideas below:

GREAT FOOD OPTIONS

Provide small servings and offer many hoices – variety is a key to healthy eating. Have small containers with any of these different foods and let them select for the day:

• Dried fruit and nuts, plain or chocolate covered.

• Sprinkle puddings with coconut, nuts, chocolate or butterscotch chips.

• Ants on a log – celery filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins.

• Carrot sticks, pickles or celery sticks with dressing.

• Sugar-free applesauce.

• Lunchmeat roll-ups with cream cheese.

• String cheese or create fruit, vegetable or cheese kebabs.

• Apple slices with peanut butter.

• Hummus and pita breads.

• Small bags of pretzels.

• Graham crackers – plain or with peanut butter.

• Whole fruits, such as peaches or bananas, or fruit leather.

Have a great school year!

• Package snacks, cookies and sandwiches in colorful plastic wrap.

• Include a sticker.

• Pack a laugh for the day by including a funny kid riddle or a puzzle.

• Add a photo, maybe one of the family pet.

• Give them a cool gel pen, pencil or fun-shaped notepad.

• Colorful napkins are a nice touch too, especially on special days such as Valentine’s Day. • String Cheerios onto a licorice lace and tie in a knot for a yummy necklace and snack.

MONUMENTAL S H A S TA L A K E C I T Y ’ S P I E C E O F H I S T O R Y It started as a chunk of scorched steel that arrived caked with dust and ash from Manhattan’s Ground Zero; today it is the centerpiece of a monument established to honor the victims of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

The section of I-beam from the North Tower of the World Trade Center resides in the City of Shasta Lake, next to the Shasta Lake Fire Protection District’s Station 1 on Ashby Court.

Outwardly, it’s not much to look at. Inside, though, “it’s a very powerful part of the community. You can feel the pain. The day it got here, you could just sense what went on,” says Rod Lindsay, the Shasta Lake City Council member who spearheaded the effort to have the artifact shipped to the North State.

“It makes us realize,” says Elmer Ellsworth, president of the Shasta Lake Lions Club. “It’s kind of like the slogan, ‘Never forget.’ It’s

27 Enjoy September 2010

something that draws the community together.”

Ellsworth and Lindsay were part of a broad community effort to create a 9-11 monument. Others involved included former council member Dean Goekler, Betty Cunningham of the Shasta County Chemical People and the Community Action Partnership, former Shasta Lake Fire Chief Fred Wyckoff, the Shasta Lake Lions and the Shasta Dam Kiwanis, Shasta County Supervisor Linda Hartman and John Jones, the city’s finance and administrative services manager.

Lindsay was visiting his daughter Serena Curry and her husband, Jeff Curry, in Germany in 2002 when he began reading about other communities obtaining pieces of the World Trade Center as part of efforts to commemorate the Sept. 11 attacks. “I started thinking, ‘Could we pull it off ?’ It would be nice for the community. We’re real traditional and there’s a lot of patriotism,” Lindsay says. continued on page 30 August 2010 Enjoy 27

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

Lindsay approached Jones with his idea about Shasta Lake housing a piece of the tower, “and he said, ‘Let’s give it a shot and see what happens.’” Calls were made, letters were written and within a few months, Shasta Lake became the only community north of Sacramento and south of Portland to house a symbol of the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil.

“We received it with excitement and we received it with generosity. People were honored to be part of the tribute, to show that we have feelings and we care,” Lindsay says.

A member of the Tuolumne Miwok Tribe and the head of the Local Indians For Education (LIFE) Center in Shasta Lake, Lindsay participated in a blessing of the monument site along with his friend Roger Yellowknife. Linda Malone of the Wintu Tribe also was involved.

The fire station was selected as the site for the monument since it was, in large part, a memorial to New York’s firefighters.

“We all thought it was a great way to honor the firefighters that fell that day—and everybody that died,” says Shasta Lake Fire Chief Adrian Rogers.

“It’s a pretty special thing to have that piece of steel. Most of the people who visit don’t even know there’s a piece of World Trade Center steel here. Some people will just touch it for awhile. It’s interesting to watch their faces,” Rogers says.

The annual ceremony includes a welcoming, bagpipes, an honor guard presentation, brief speeches and a special bellringing ritual to honor the loss of firefighters who entered the burning towers. Candles are then distributed while law enforcement, military and fire service representatives lay roses at the foot of the monument.

“Every year, we need a reminder what a great nation we are and of the sacrifices those people made,” says Candis Vaughan, the head of North Valley Bank’s Shasta Lake branch. Vaughan has been involved with the 9-11 ceremony for four years.

The first ceremony was held on Sept. 11, 2003, in conjunction with the unveiling of the twin towers memorial.

“It was pretty emotional,” says Rogers. “Having the bagpipes play ‘Amazing Grace’ just ripped your heart out.”

This year, hot dogs and refreshments will be served to the first 200 people from 6:30 to 7:30 pm The ceremony starts at 7:30 and ends at approximately 8:30 pm One of this year’s speakers will be Marie Mitchell of Mount Shasta, whose brother Paul, a lieutenant with the Fire Department of New York, was killed while responding to the World Trade Center. •

Daniele Degli Esposti www.artoftheoldworld.com 6911 Eastside Road, Redding (877) 869-5308

Daniele D egli E sposti ’ s A rt of the O ld World

Italian stone mason Daniele Degli Esposti has a habit of tapping fine handmade items – anything from crystal goblets to salad bowls – for a familiar ting, a comforting sound that speaks of care and attention to detail in creation. It is a sound, he says, only emitted through items made by hand. For his wife, Redding native Grace Natina Degli Esposti, the sound of hand-forged care is actually a memory of her husband from the early days of their courtship. She would listen for the tap-tapping of her beloved’s chisels on the stone streets of Siena, Italy, and follow the sound until she found him hard at work restoring the city’s iconic infrastructure.

It was the sound of poetry, however, that brought the two together. Early in 2003, Grace was a UC Santa Cruz undergraduate struggling to find her niche on campus. While visiting a friend’s family in Carmel, a suggestion was made that she apply to an Agri Tourismo program in Italy, one which accepts only eight Americans a year. By June, she was working on a farm in Siena and beginning to study the language and culture of Italy.

On June 21, her birthday, she was invited to a neighboring farm for a poetry festival. The selfsustaining farm, La Comune Di Bagnaia, was the home in which Daniele had been raised and was still living.

Grace laughs when recalling the story and the almost absurd romanticism of the night. “It was my birthday, there was poetry, he didn’t speak much English, I didn’t speak much Italian…” While many requests for dances were made, Grace had eyes for Daniele and overcame her newcomer’s shyness to say yes to him alone. The night began a courtship that would lead to an Italian wedding in 2005, and an eventual relocation to Redding in 2009, where Daniele is bringing his Old World artisan skills to North State residents seeking fine, handforged, commissioned architectural elements for homes and yards.

Daniele began learning his trade in 1993 while working for his brother. Their father, a farmer and

sculptor who used the same techniques as Michelangelo, was a source of inspiration. Having apprenticed under two Italian craftsmen, now age 77 and 42, Daniele speaks with a passion about the importance of handmade creations made by true craftsmen. “Things last, are beautiful,” he says, “That’s it. What more do you want? And they’re unique.”

The city of Siena is designated a World Heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO). With the city as his training ground and World Heritage specifications as his guide, Daniele has trained in the most Old World techniques known. He forges his collection of more than 200 chisels as needed each day on the job so he will always have the correct tool ready for the most precise line and detail. All of his tools have been sent over via container from Italy for work in the United States.

So far, Daniele’s American work has included stairways, a pizza oven, patios, fireplaces and a hood range in fine homes and a winery from Mount Shasta to Placerville, Napa and Piedmont. His work is done either on site or in a shop at Custom Creations on Eastside Road in Redding. A hallmark of his work is custom installation that results in superior quality and attention to detail not found with pre-fabricated work.

Daniele’s partnership with Andy Hursh of Custom Creations has resulted in a new business venture called Art of the Old World. Hursh will help market Daniele’s services, while Daniele’s extensive network in Italy will bring craftsman skilled in traditional stone, wood and iron work to the area for commissioned work. It’s all a way to bring “art inside your architectural elements,” says Hursh.

For Daniele and Grace Degli Esposti, a blend of Italian and American influences is a family and a way of life. For North State residents seeking the sight – and sound – of fine, handcrafted Italian craftsmanship, Art of the Old World is now a drive to east Redding, not a flight to Italy. • September 2010 Enjoy 32

FA L L FA S H I O N P R E V I E W 2 0 1 0

There’s no question that the recession has left an indelible mark on fashion. It’s forced women to change their shopping habits and, in turn, forced designers to react. There’s conservative glamour, chic urban warriors, eccentric color combinations, and bohemian rhapsody.

Sound confusing? Or is it a landscape of limitless possibilities? We think the latter. Pick a trend or two and get as excited for fall as we are! Fall fashion invokes the classics, but with interesting, modern ideas mixed in.

Among the trends, here are some we think you’ll see this season.

Utilitarian Chic This trend is about mixing hard and soft, tailored and ruffled in one outfit. Soften a tough jacket and boots with a sheer blouse, a trendy dichotomy of utilitarian and sexy. Grab some worker boots and an army jacket and rock them out with a short sequin mini and layered metallic necklaces. This is not the Boho Chic we’ve seen for the past few years; this style is more refined. Dress up a flowery frock with a well-constructed coat for uptown polish. More Urban Warrior, less Stevie Nicks. This style is no-nonsense, but also finished.

Blackout Black is the new black. (It had to be said.)

In a season when retailers and shoppers alike are pinching their pennies, there’s a premium on clothes with added value. Designers know they can’t go wrong with this classic, goes-with-everything color. Neutrals are hot once again. That being said, however, add in a few eccentric, boldly colored pieces, such as a great pair of patterned stockings and over-the-knee-boots. Va-va-voom! No matter what your office dress code says, pantyhose are out.

Instead, leggings and colored tights take center stage. Even ankle socks with heels. (Yes, I am serious.) Bring a little bit of the ‘80s back and give it a whirl.

Fall fashion involves the classics, but with interesting, modern ideas mixed in.

Happy Birthday Dr. Todd!

Tactile Sensation The wealth of fabrics this season presents is a true treat for the senses. Comfort dressing doesn’t have to mean sweatpants. Even in cashmere, sweats are a notorious public fashion “don’t.”

Instead, try a cowl-neck mohair sweater dress, merino wool poncho or cape, oversized fisherman’s cable knit sweater or a fuzzy white tunic. Be sure to pair looser pieces with more fitted bottoms, such as leggings or skinny jeans and a great pair of clogs. Mongolian goat and sheep fleece will make an appearance in vests, coats, and trims.

Dramatic, long-haired fleece—along with some faux look-alikes—is a key look for the season. While these coats can risk a bulky Nanook-of-the-North look, many of the latest vests avoid that. There’s always fur, too, although I must recommend the faux variety. Even feathers have been known to pop up on some of this season’s fashion. Don’t fear it—take your allergy pill and dive in!

Fall for Your Feet We wouldn’t dare forget your feet! The season’s most fab shoes go from colorful to nude, edgy to ladylike.

Ornamentation is still fashionable, especially on shoes.

Prefer a simpler style? Go for sky-high mary janes in a brightly colored suede. Peep-toes, pumps or platforms all look even better in a bold color. Select a closed-toe model to perk up those neutral office basics and black and grey tights. Opt for a more elaborate design (and nude pedicure) if you’re ready for cocktails.

Leather ankle boots complement the utilitarian style we mentioned earlier. These don’t need to be black, as long as they have buckles or other hardware to project a tough attitude. Try them in place of the flat riding style we saw last year, with leggings or a short, full skirt.

Nude-hued shoes are still very much in play, and there’s a shade to complement any skin tone. And they’re easy to pair with all your closet favorites, from fitted cargoes and a blouse to silky harem pants and a tee.

Autumn is for fun. It’s for bundling up at the first chill in the air, as the leaves glide softly from their temporary spring home. It’s for all of those fabrics we can’t even look at during our North State summer without sweating. So embrace the season in all its elegance and dive in to fall! •

the is local author charlie price finds inspiration from experience When he finished his first book, Charlie Price sat at his computer and considered his options. Should he send it to Adult or Young Adult literary agents? What would he do if the book was really successful and he ended up on Oprah? With that thought, he realized how uncomfortable and out of place he’d feel and that arrival on the talk show queen’s couch wasn’t his true aspiration.

Instead, he says he imagined standing in front of an auditorium of kids talking about addiction and domestic violence and relationships with parents. It was then he says, “I decided I wanted to—I could be—in the Young Adult field and, if successful, I could talk to kids about the things that I think are very important.”

The things he thinks are important show up as recurring themes in his novels: mental illness, hate crimes, homelessness.

37 Enjoy September 2010

Some might say controversial subjects for young readers, but Price contends that it’s extremely rare to find families without dark sides.

“It’s not like you go to the dark side,” he says. “That’s life. It provides us with the material it takes to form our character.”

He speaks from experience. Raised in Billings, Mont., the son of an influential college president by day—and high-functioning alcoholic by night—Price found a love of words early and says he spent difficult family evenings reading in his room. He credits the early McMurtry novels and classics like “To Kill a Mockingbird” with teaching him that exquisite literature can spring from writing that is simple in both language and structure.

Leaving home in the ‘60s, he headed to Stanford University where he completed a degree in The History of Ideas. After graduation and a year in seminary (“I left,” he says, “because it wasn’t as open or liberal as I thought it was”), he went to work with the Street Academy Program in New York City, mentoring homeless kids who had left school and were facing some tough challenges. It was an association that would influence his professional direction.

For the next 25 years (earning a graduate degree in Therapeutic Recreation along the way) he continued his work with at-risk youth in schools, mental institutions and psychiatric hospitals. During one such stint he met young adult author Chris Crutcher, who was director of the Oakland school where Price worked as dean. Crutcher mentored him in the writing life. But for Price, who was then writing

Renaissance Redding is a long time supporter of the Arts in our community. As part of their commitment to the Arts, they are founding contributors to the Shasta Siskiyou Arts Endowment through the ARTicipate Campaign. And, they reference Dr. Terry Bergstrom, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction as representing their perspective about the essential nature of the arts in our community and the reason they all work so hard to support the arts locally.

primarily for friends and family, getting published seemed like an impossible dream.

His opportunity to test that dream came during a break between jobs in 2004 when, at age 60, he sat down and wrote his first novel. While waiting to hear back from the publisher, he wrote another novel, taken from a short story he’d penned years earlier. That second effort became Dead Connection, Price’s first book, published in 2006 and selected as one of the finalists for the Teen Readers and Library Awards in several states. Lizard People followed in 2007. But by the time his third novel was set to be published he’d been assigned to a new editor with whom he had creative differences. After a book buy-back and skillful negotiation, he moved to Farrar, Straus & Giroux, publisher of his newest novel, The Interrogation of Gabriel James (released last month).

When asked about the inspiration for his novels, he says his experience working with at-risk youth has left him with stories that haunt him. He’d met kids that he says possessed tremendous courage and had come out of some very difficult circumstances. It’s their traits that he strives to represent in the characters he creates in his novels.

Price says writing is like finding another life inside. Although he admits he isn’t “taken over” by characters, he concedes that something happens when the muses come to visit. He says, “I don’t make an effort to steer, but to follow the character in the story that needs to be told.”

The stories he’s told have allowed him, for the first time this past year, to support himself from his writing. He’s already received an advance for his fourth novel, Desert Angel (to be released in 2011), and Random House U.K. recently bought translation rights for both the forthcoming novel and Dead Connection.

His fifth book waits patiently in the wings.

Even without Oprah, he’s doing alright. •

cowboy action : shooting with the hawkinsville claim jumpers In the bright summer light, the dust settles around the boots of Royal Flush as he sets down his revolvers. The sounds of his shots still reverberate through the brown rolling hills. As he steps away from the saloon window, his fingers run across the brim of his hat, and he then picks up his empty rifle and shotgun, laying them atop a nearby table.

Hushed whispers fill the hot air among those who have witnessed the shooting skills of the fastest shot among the Hawkinsville Claim Jumpers: not a single miss in the round.

The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) has clubs worldwide, promoting Cowboy Action Shooting, emphasizing gun safety and preserving the history of the Old West. More than 100,000 hold membership. People take on a cowboy persona, costuming themselves in western garb and taking on a character name. Regular shoots are held, with the competition focusing on safety, accuracy and speed.

On the fourth Saturday of each month, 20 to 30 participants arrive at the Hawkinsville shoots. Two facades, a saloon and an assayer’s office, stand tall on the range, standing between the shooter and an array of targets. Range Master Humbug Hank directs the competition. He calls the day to order, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a rowdy “yeehaw.” He points out the loading table, the order of firing, and the unloading table. No gun is loaded until one’s turn and each gun is checked and confirmed to be empty before leaving the range. Each person will shoot in five rounds, with the time measured by sound-actuated timers which measure the time between gunshots and three spotters marking accuracy.

The club puts a lot of effort into improving the Yreka Dodge Range. “We built safety berms between each station, put up the façade and continue to make positive changes to the area,” Hank says. A laptop and printer seem a bit out of place, but mark the registration and scores

for the day. The club is a mixture of young and old, men and women.

An array of cowboy guns is used. Parson John prefers black powder.

“The equipment is expensive,” Hank says, “However, members loan each other what is needed to compete until they can acquire their own.

There is a good spirit of camaraderie here.” The group encourages each other amidst the mix of leather chaps, tall hats, silver buckles and saloon girls in dresses.

“Each shooter has their own style with the revolvers,” Hank says.

“Some shoot with both hands on the weapon, while the duelist uses one hand. The gunfighter holds one in each hand and alternates shooting from each hand.” The smell of spent powder and the sound of the steel targets continue through the morning.

Half-Fast Rusty, Marshal Law, Rifle’en Rebecca, and Mei Dein Chy Naa all seek to beat Flush. A gun misfires and is immediately removed from competition. One shooter prematurely cocks their rifle and is dismissed from the entire round. Some shoot for accuracy, sacrificing time. Others are speedy, but lack accuracy.

When the day finishes, Buckshot Larry comes out with a clean match, or perfect shoot. However, when combined with time, Flush wins once again, missing only once. The group congratulates him, gathers their equipment and leaves the range to the sparse brush and yellow poppies which cover the area.

As the pickups start up and begin the journey back to the modern world, youth member Six-Gun Sasquatch looks back with a smile and says, “That was awesome.

Now let’s go eat some lunch.” • www.northwestcowboyactionshooting. org/hawkinsvilleclaimjumpers

DEL NORTE COUNTY Editors’ Picks Fast facts: • Crescent City, the county seat, is Del Norte’s only incorporated city. About 7,500 people live there.

• Bigfoot enthusiasts recognize Del Norte as the location of the famous PattersonGimlin film, which spotlighted an unidentified creature that the filmmakers claimed was Bigfoot. Some of the forest scenes used in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” were also filmed here.

• The area is still home to the Yurok and Tolowa Nations of indigenous peoples.

The first European American to explore this land was pioneer Jedediah Smith, who reached the area on foot in the mid 1800s.

• Forbes Magazine selected Crescent City as one of the prettiest towns in the country, two years in a row. A panel of photographers, artists, travel writers and architects searched the United States for the 25 towns that embody a mix of smalltown charm, natural beauty and striking architecture.

• Last century, the Klamath River posed a challenge for the folks attempting to build an uninterrupted highway from San Francisco to the Oregon border, and the Klamath River Bridge (which opened in 1923) closed the final gap in this highway.

Tucked into California’s northwest corner, Del Norte is a resplendent blend of lush forests and rugged coast. Redwoods scrape the skies above pristine rivers that empty into the crescent-shaped bay. If you’re looking for unspoiled nature, abundant wildlife, outdoor adventure, pure relaxation or just a reprieve from the North State’s heat, get thee to Del Norte County.

Indulge in fresh seafood while you watch a panoramic sunset over the ocean – this is the life.

gentle giants The coastal redwoods attract visitors from all over the world. This county includes sections of the Siskiyou and Six Rivers national forests, as well as the Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park.

gone fishing The Crescent City Harbor is a hub for salmon, shrimp, tuna, cod and dungeness crab commercial fishing boats. Inspired?

Head out to one of the public fishing piers and cast a line, or charter a fishing trip. South of there, the Klamath River Guide Services offers sportsfishing excursions along the Klamath River.

ready, set, jet The ocean gets most of the press in Del Norte County, but we think you’ll love the 45-minute jet boat tour up the Klamath River. They’re offered from May through September, and you’ll be treated to a presentation about the river’s history, Native American culture and wildlife. If luck is on your side, you might see a bear, osprey, hawks, eagles or elk. Visit www.jetboattours.com for details.

whale watch Thousands of gray whales pass by Crescent City from late December through early January, and again in late March. Grab some binoculars and see if you can catch a glimpse of the migration (your best chances are in the morning or early afternoon). During the last week in December, volunteers hang out at popular whale-watching vistas to answer questions and help visitors spot the creatures.

up close Pet a shark and explore an interactive tide pool at Ocean World, a half-million-gallon aquarium that gives guests an up-close sea life experience. Enjoy a sea lion and harbor seal show, and ask the trainers your questions.

Visit www.oceanworldonline. com more information, and find it at 304 Highway 101 South in Crescent City.

surf’s up Surfing is big here, but even if you don’t want to catch a wave, you’ll be entertained at at Rhyn Noll Surfboards (275 L St., Crescent City).

Check out the skateboard that earned Rhyn Noll a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2002. You can also buy a ukulele or locally handcarved tikis.

explore the mystery Klamath’s most popular attraction is the Trees of Mystery, which offers tours through the unique redwood forests. It’s home to the free End of the Trail Museum, which includes native American artifacts from all over the United States. Feeling adventurous? Climb aboard the SkyTrail gondola, which takes visitors on an aerial tour of the forest. You’ll be mesmerized by the panorama of rugged coastal mountains and ocean vistas. Don’t forget to check out the 50-foot Paul Bunyan and 35-foot Babe the Blue Ox, and stop by the Forest Café (view the stunning redwood murals while you wait for your meal).

let there be light a river runs through it The Smith River is the centerpiece of the Smith River National Recreation Area, where the river flows into the Pacific Ocean. This 305,337-acre region includes the Siskiyou Wilderness. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, rafting, tubing, hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing and just relaxing near the water are among the many ways to enjoy your time there.

Explore the historic Battery Point Lighthouse, and then stroll along the unspoiled beaches just north of it. The St. George Reef Lighthouse, on a tiny wave-swept rock six miles off the coast, is visible on clear days. A preservation society has overseen its renovation and encouraged its use as a tourist attraction for about 25 years – it even offers helicopter rides from Crescent City to the lighthouse.

It’s the only offshore lighthouse open to the public.

Simpson for

Seniors

university offers courses for students 5 0 and older According to Henry Ford, “anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80.” Simpson University has traditionally been a young person’s campus, but now its youth is based on more than its years.

Dr. Glenn Schaefer, an Old Testament professor at the Redding institution, is launching “Simpson University for Seniors” in an effort to encourage “interactive, lifelong learning in a university setting.” The program offers month-long courses that meet thrice weekly and are open to people over 50. Courses are held on the Simpson campus and run concurrently with regular university semesters, but the classes are reserved strictly for the senior program - no jostling past 19 year olds to get the desk by the window! The courses are not for credit, and are designed to enhance students’ joy of learning in an authentic university experience. In other words, no homework, no tests and no grades: the pressure-free way of schooling you fantasized about in the wee hours of every all-nighter and cram session.

Inviting seniors to join the ranks of academia is popular at institutions worldwide. Schaefer observed similar programs working to great effect at other schools, and felt that Shasta County’s active retirement community would be an ideal pool to draw from. “If you don’t keep your mind active (as you age), you get atrophied,” Schaefer observes, and he feels the senior community has too much to offer to leave them out of the Simpson family. After an interest survey distributed last spring garnered more than 200 positive responses, Schaefer began to craft the program.

He knew daytime classes would be necessary since many seniors aren’t able or willing to get out in the evenings, but Simpson’s busy campus had few classrooms to spare.

Schaefer soon realized that the school’s heritage

held the answer: chapel time. For three hours a week, classrooms are deserted as students attend mandatory chapel services, which gave Schaefer his pick of the most accessible rooms near elevators, wheelchair ramps and restrooms. Additionally, designing the courses to be recreational instead of for credit kept the registration cost down and meant senior students wouldn’t have to juggle traditional admissions requirements.

Responses from the interest survey helped him identify what would be the most popular areas of study, though the enthusiasm of those surveyed demonstrated that just about any course - from Hairdressing to the Holocaust - would guarantee a full classroom. Hoping to strike a balance among the areas of interest while maintaining Simpson’s academic identity, Schaefer began seeking instructors for the more popular and plausible courses.

(Simpson’s facilities aren’t quite equipped to instruct students on the finer points of hairdressing.) Drawing from a pool of current and retired Simpson professors as well as local experts, he soon had eight instructors for 11 courses to spread over the coming fall and spring semesters. “When these instructors come on, we treat them as contractors,” Schaefer explains, which keeps costs down and allows them to develop their courses and teach in their best style, free from the requirements of accreditation overseers. “I wanted this to be as easy as possible for everyone.”

Each course runs Monday-Wednesday-Friday, 10:20 to 11:20 am, for one month and costs $95 per student, or $145 per couple if enrolled in the same course.

September’s offering is “Journey to the Biblical World: The Bible’s Customs and Cultures,” while October’s course, one of the more popular requests from those

surveyed, is “Fire and Ice: An Overview of the Geography and Geology of Northern California.” In November, students can go “Beyond the Wardrobe” and study the life and work of author C. S. Lewis.

There are twice as many courses scheduled for the Spring semester: Simpson furthers its academic clout with courses such as “Bonhoeffer and the Holocaust” and “The Protestant Reformation” while tackling the localized interests of the community through the courses “Shasta County History 101,” ”Taking the Mystery out of the Internet” and “Life Through the Lens,” which helps students improve their digital and film photography skills.

Plans are already underway for an art course for the 20112012 school year.

Schaefer is encouraged by the amount of interest expressed in the program and began receiving student registrations months ago. “People are coming from all over Redding, but we still have plenty of room,” he promises. With funding for similar programs being cut from state-run institutions, he sees “SU for Seniors” as a public service. “My goal is to keep people active without the fear of failure.” • Simpson University for Seniors 2211 College View Drive, Redding (530) 224-5600 www.simpsonu.edu/SUseniors

Story: Sandie Tillery

N orth S tate S ymphony K icks O ff I ts 1 0 th S eason A cacophony of conversation floats through the auditorium before every North State Symphony concert. Dr. Kyle Wiley Pickett, music director and conductor, greets early birds from the apron with a brief overview of the production ahead. He illuminates the audience about compositions, composers, soloists and orchestral interpretations. As he exits stage left, the audience again buzzes with growing anticipation.

Musicians wander on stage. They chat with one another while finding their places and arranging sheet music. Some in the audience are caught off guard when applause erupts. Terrie Baune, concertmaster, approaches from the wings to take her place before the members of the orchestra. Violin tucked neatly under her chin, Baune offers the first notes by which the others tune, her instrument singing to the swell of dissonance until that moment when, to her ear, all seems right. Applause follows her to the place of honor in the first chair of violins. The lights dim and the maestro enters, musicians and audience both thundering their welcome as he steps up to the podium.

Instantly, silence reigns as the maestro raises his baton.

Kicking off its 10th season on October 2 and 3, the North State Symphony plans to electrify audiences in Redding and Chico with a full calendar showcasing both classical and contemporary orchestral works under the banner, “A Season of Masterworks.”

From the first to the fourth concert in its subscription series, audiences will enter a time machine of musical exploration.

Throughout the season, solos by featured orchestra members, as well as a guest appearance from world renowned pianist Alexander Tutunov in May, offer a sampling from “virtuosos of the highest order,” says Pickett. Local composer Dr. Dan Pinkston, who chairs the Simpson University Music Department, culminates 20 years of study and training in his first full symphony, commissioned by the North State Symphony and making its world debut in Chico, then Redding in November, proving classical music appeals not just to the mature crowd.

Young Artist Audition winners and local students Molly Mahoney, vocalist, and Anthoni Polcari, cellist, will perform with the orchestra in February.

Two chamber music recitals also fill dates on the calendar spotlighting first the wind section of the orchestra and later presenting a selection of “Classics of Three Eras” performed by a select group of North State Symphony musicians. Members of the orchestra perform at various events throughout the year as part of an effort to contribute to their communities in both Chico and Redding, as well as to raise financial support.

Pickett has spent the past 10 years creating what he considers a “truly professional orchestra of the highest quality and caliber.” Pickett credits Baune for developing the string section into a skilled and technically astute ensemble. As she has added her articulation (technical nuances) to Pickett’s interpretative (creative) decisions, the orchestra has matured and grown and continues to receive outstanding reviews.

When Baune plays concerts with the North State Symphony, she says, “I know everyone on stage is giving 100 percent to the joy of making good music. It refreshes me as a musician.” She credits Pickett with the high morale of the orchestra.

Gene Nichols, chairman of the board for the North State Symphony, echoes Baune’s

sentiments regarding Pickett’s leadership.

All involved with the symphony seem passionately united in their efforts to bring the best symphonic music and musicians to the North State. During their annual Directors and Regents dinner in June, keynote speaker Mike Warren, president and CEO of Turtle Bay Exploration Park, punctuated the value of the arts in any healthy city. Nichols agrees and proudly touts the rich musical legacy and contribution the North State Symphony adds to the culture of Chico and Redding.

Pickett attributes the continuing health of the North State Symphony to a collaborative effort that includes phenomenal musicians, an active and supportive board of directors, enthusiastic auxiliaries in both sponsoring communities and a unique partnership with Chico State University that provides both creative and administrative resources. Like many other regional symphonies, it has had to tighten its belts. According to Executive Director Keith Herritt, however, ticket sales have remained steady and “our donors have been very kind in keeping us part of their lives.”

A musical journey begins…the sweeping sound of cellos unfolds a lilting love poem.

From wondrous waltz strains to a rollicking peasant dance finale, the audience is on its feet as maestro and musicians acknowledge one another, taking their bows. Thus ends a shared adventure, an emotional trip through Dvorak’s Eighth Symphony. Programs rustle as guests discuss the next concert. Expectations soar.

The North State Symphony shines as brightly as any regional orchestra in the nation. Join neighbors, friends and relatives this season at the symphony. •

And it’s easier than you think…

Could she handle children? How would it affect our lives? We were devastated! Unknown to us, another restaurant patron sitting next to us overhead our conversation. Out of the blue, he suggested that we try a chiropractor. We had nothing to lose… we decided to try it. We had never heard about chiropractic care. I had a great job in electronics, owned a nice home and had been happily married for three years. Going to a chiropractor was the last thing we considered. Safari’s first few visits seemed to make the pain worse, but after two weeks of chiropractic care, the purple/grey color in her fingers turned beet red! After two months of chiropractic care, her hands completely healed-after 2 years of hell from unnecessary drugs and a threatened ten-finger amputation!

Dear Friend, I could tell you story after story.

In my office, I see people who’ve refused to give up. They didn’t accept the answers they’ve gotten before. They didn’t accept “there’s nothing we can do” or ‘there’s actually nothing wrong with you.”

Many of the people who come to see me complain that they’ve been “everywhere” else, taken “every” test, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms.

Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, I have a story to share with you about a colleague and his wife. Many have read about my wife’s life changing experiences with chiropractic, but Dr. Wong and his beautiful wife, Safari’s story has to be told and shared. Here is their story...

“Twenty-nine years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. My wife, woke up complaining of pain in her fingers. At first we hoped the pain would just go away, then we started seeing doctors, but her fingers and hands got worse and worse. It was like having a very bad headache or toothache, only on all ten fingers, which were looking horrible. They hurt so much she could not sleep, work or even eat. As a husband, I felt helpless. I would have done ANYTHING to relieve her suffering. Over the next two years we went to eight of the best medical specialist that money could buy. Each specialist gave us a different diagnosis and a different drug. The medical bills were piling up.

Nothing was working-and Safari was getting worse.

Her fingers had turned grey and purple. The blood flow to her fingers had stopped. Her fingers were dying, gangrene had finally set in. The last medical doctor decided he would have to cut off all ten of my wife’s fingers. He said there were no other choices.

Not only would they have to amputate all ten fingers, they would have to cut a nerve in her neck! He said a nerve problem in her neck was causing the blood vessels to spasm closed, cutting off the blood flow to her findings. He told us that if he did not operate, the gangrene would spread to her hands and arms.

Needless to say, we were devastated! My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant trying to discuss a life without fingers and hands? How would she eat?

Here is the most important thing I have to say.

You’re body is made to heal itself, but can only do it when it’s free of choked off nerves. So, as much as I’d like the credit, I can’t take it. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. I analyze the nerve system and the spine and perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure. The body responds, and often it heals itself once that nerve interference is removed.

Don’t give up. Do Something...Create your miracle!

Special Offer-Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. So, when you call to schedule a new patient exam you’ll receive that entire exam for just $17. That’s with examination, x-rays, detailed report of findings…the hole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But call right away because this offer will expire (by law, this offer excludes beneficiaries of federally funded health programs like Medicare or Medicaid).

Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee.

My assistants are Stacy, Jasmine, Dale and Melony in the Red Bluff Office. Dr. Edwards assistants are Brandy and Jerri in the Redding Office. They are all great and absolutely full of love. Our offices are both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home!

MY WIFE HAS ALL TEN FINGERS. NO DRUGS. NO TEN-FINGER AMPUTATION! I quit my job and went straight to chiropractic college, got my degree and received my license as a Doctor of Chiropractic to practice. I’ve been in private practice every since.

One of the biggest thrills of my life is giving people relief from their pain and suffering. What could be better? I am fortunate to be in a profession that can create miracles on a daily basis. It is my dream that one day, the health care system in America will emphasize natural health care without unnecessary drugs and surgery. We will all live longer and healthier lives!” Dr. Harry Wong Amazing...Moving...Priceless!!

onthegoodship

the flying zeppelin , airship eureka , lands in R edding

A bit of romance floated into the North State the other day, bringing with it a glimpse back to the time when luxury travel was as much about the journey as it was the destination.

So what if this “bit” of romance is big enough to blot out the sun?

That’s just part of the fun of traveling in a bona fide airship, a heliumfilled, light-as-a-feather aircraft that just happens to be 246 feet long (some 15 feet longer than a Boeing 747).

A smallish but enthusiastic crowd of onlookers assembled along the edges of the Redding Municipal Airport tarmac to ooh and ahh

as the Eureka—the only commercial airship in the United States and one of two Zeppelins flying in the world—made its stately arrival in mid-August.

The Eureka is the pride and joy of Airship Ventures, a husbandand-wife team of self-described “aviation geeks” who chose Redding as the launching pad for a Pacific Northwest tour that included Oregon stopovers in Medford, Salem and Portland before joining a collection of historic aircraft for a two-week stay at Paine Field in Everett, Wash.  continued on page 57

September 2010 Enjoy 56

In Redding, 45-minute “flight”-seeing tours were offered at $375 a seat, with a limited number of 50 percent discounts when a second ticket was purchased. The Eureka is tentatively scheduled to return to Redding on Sept. 11-12. Additional flights are to be based on demand and weather conditions. For current information, visit airshipventures.com.

Home for the Eureka is Moffett Field, a former Naval air base south of San Francisco now operated by NASA, where the airship routinely offers tours of the Bay Area, Napa Valley and Monterey Bay. Alexandra “Alex” Hall, CEO of Airship Ventures, says bringing the Eureka north is a chance to spread some airship excitement to other communities in a modern-day form of barnstorming.

Since the last commercial passenger airship stopped operating in 1937, it’s pretty easy to generate some enthusiasm when a massive Zeppelin comes to town. Is the era of stately airship travel back?

“I’d like to think so,” says Hall. “Back when it was all about the journey and there was time to think about the landscape and a way to engage in communities.”

Hall’s excitement for aviation started when she was a child in Bedford, England, growing up near the Cardington Airship Hangars and dreaming of becoming an astronaut. Brian Hall, her future husband, spent summers as a youth in upstate New York near an aerospace museum and developed a fascination with World War I-era aviation.

In 2006, Brian Hall was attending a software conference in Cologne, Germany, when he had the opportunity to ride in a Zeppelin NT (one of the first manufactured by the Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik firm). He stepped out of the gondola convinced he had to bring airship travel back to the United States.

In 2007, the Halls married and founded Airship Ventures. In 2008, they took delivery of the Eureka. (The airship crossed the Atlantic on a large cargo ship and was flown from Beaumont, Texas, to its new hangar at Moffett Field. By the fall of 2008, passengers were being treated to spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge and other Bay Area landmarks.

And, yes, there’s a difference between an airship and the more common blimp that’s seen overhead at golf tournaments and other sporting events. An airship has an internal rigid frame, which allows engines to be located on the hull and at the tail end, far enough away from the gondola to substantially reduce noise and vibration.

(Blimps do not have an internal frame so engines are mounted on the gondola.)

The net result is a surprisingly comfortable ride in a cabin that gives up to 12 passengers panoramic views through large windows.

There’s even a window in the onboard restroom.

Cruising along at an altitude of 1,200 feet and at a leisurely pace of 35 mph, there certainly is time to take in the scenery. During a brief introductory flight for local media, the Eureka provided reporters and photographers with stunning views of landmarks like the Sundial Bridge and the Sacramento River, whose blue-green waters shimmered in the afternoon sun as they made the swooping 90-degree turn through the heart of Redding.

The Eureka was piloted by Capt. Jim Dexter, whose 30-plus years of airship experience were evident as he deftly controlled the surprisingly nimble Eureka. Oliver Jaeger of Germany was the copilot.

The Zeppelin NT is filled with inert, non-flammable helium and powered by three 200-horsepower engines that can rotate to allow for vertical takeoffs and landings as well as hovering. • www.airshipventures.com and www.farmersairship.com

Kohm Yah-mah-nee

lassen park ’ s visitors center honors the maidu indians Hundreds of years ago, native peoples discovered a land replete with natural wonders: glacial lakes, meadows, majestic mountain peaks and mysterious heat sources. The Maidu Indians called it Kohm Yah-mah-nee, or Snow Mountain. Today, we call it Lassen Volcanic National Park. To the Maidu, the heat symbolized the earth’s inner power, and today, although we know a lot more about the park’s volcanic activity, the wisdom and influence of the Maidu remain stronger than ever. The park’s new Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center honors them.

Officially opened in October 2008, the $10.4 million visitor center strives to integrate the Maidus’ organic approach to living with 21st century smart technology. Ten years of planning made sure that the 8,800-square-foot building leaves a very small footprint in the

wilderness surrounding it. It’s exactly where the old 1970 chalet used to be, but is oriented toward the best views. Constructed of native Douglas fir, the roof beams are designed to take a huge snow load of 300 pounds per square foot. A heavy snow load actually preserves and insulates the roof. Snow is a big part of the landscape here: last winter’s snow pack lasted well into June. The Kohm Yah-mah-nee center sits at 6,700 feet elevation at the southwestern end of the park on Highway 89, which runs through the park. In September, while daytime temps are a refreshing average of 72 degrees, nights can dip into the freezing range. continued on page 62

Inside the visitor center, picture windows draw your eye to the spellbinding mountain views to the north. A propane fireplace, framed by an 18-foot rock wall, invites visitors to warm up with a cup of cocoa at the concession stand. Radiant heat circulates through the concrete floors. The building strives for sustainable methods of heating, cooling and lighting, using the natural heating and cooling of the earth to control temperatures throughout the building. Digital photo sensors detect sunlight levels and adjust lighting up or down.

These smart systems mean that visitors can use the bathrooms in the middle of the night and find them lit and comfortable. The vestibule and bathrooms are open around the clock to make it easier for visitors to check in for overnight camping as well as to check out the many goings-on at the park with the help of a touch-screen computer.

A must-see is the 20-minute film in the small and comfy auditorium. Paid for by the nonprofit Lassen Park Foundation, the professionally made movie will awe as well as educate. It provides a bird’s eye introduction to the park and its otherworldly scenery. The center’s hands-on exhibit area encourages further exploration of the park’s natural and human history.

One of the main goals of the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Center is to “introduce people to the bigger stories in the park,” says Karen Haner, Chief of Interpretation and Education. They want people to get out and explore. But they also want to provide information that will make it a safe visit. Lassen encompasses about 106,000 acres, and 75 percent of it is designated wilderness area. Most of the park’s 400,000 annual visitors confine themselves to views from Highway 89. But for those seeking an enchanting family campout, or those wanting a more strenuous backpacking trip to one of the park’s many lakes, the rewards are immense. The night sky explodes with stars.

Creeks meander through picture-perfect meadows. Fumaroles and mud pots are exotic, but wildflowers like corn lilies and lupine will move you with their simple grace.

There’s a lot to do at the park even when the main road is closed due to snow. The road is plowed from Highway 36 up to the visitor center and from Highway 44 to Manzanita Lake in the north.

At Kohm Yah-mah-nee, snowshoes can be rented for $1 during ranger-led weekend hikes on top of the snowed-in road. For crosscountry skiers, a winter wonderland awaits on the 29 miles of snowy park road. Families often make a day of it, bringing sleds and their barbecue.

The only accommodations within the park are the rustic cabins at Drakesbad Resort, often reserved years ahead. But there are many cabins and motels within a few miles of the park, or in the town of Chester about 45 minutes away.

The Maidu recognized Kohm Yah-mah-nee as a special place.

Lassen Volcanic National Park invites us to follow them, with gentle footsteps and a sense of wonder at this natural treasure in our backyard. • www.nps.gov/lavo for more information

tapas R estaurant in downtown redding One step inside Tapas and it’s easy to see why the restaurant won Viva Downtown’s design award last year: the rich hues and warm tones evoke a sense of coziness and comfort, as if you are walking into your own home. The old church pews were refurbished and reupholstered by the owners, Brad Tillson and Christine Silver, themselves.

But if you think the ambience is impressive, wait until you try the food. Christine, who has always been a fan of healthy food and healthful ingredients, created the recipes for every single item on the menu. Brad took it a step further, incorporating his love of fine wine to ensure every wine fit the flavor profile they desired, in order to make the food and wine experience really special.

So how did this unique restaurant come about? Ask this couple of five years and they will tell you about how the stars aligned, how everything fell into place. continued on pag 66

Allison and Victor’s sound blends elements of folk, jazz, blues, European and Latin music.

SEPTEMBER

“ A breath of cool jazz, cool like the breeze, gently blowing over a grateful crowd this hot afternoon.”

by Rich DePertuis, review of their performance at the Mossbrae Music Festival 2010

Cool like the Breeze CD available at www.allisonandvictor.com

Brad had been interested in buying the Pio Loco restaurant when he saw in the newspaper that the space was up for sale. After he told Silver, she basically gave him a “to-do” list a mile long, in the hopes of discouraging what she knew would be a hard road to plow. When he finished all of the tasks in one morning, she realized he was serious so she looked into it herself—she was working in the restaurant business and knew the ins and outs. When the Oregon Street Tea Company closed, Brad and Christine knew that was the location for them, especially after she saw the large kitchen. “I drove by and I thought, ‘This is it! Yeah, we can do this,’” says Christine.

Once the decision was made, the Tea Company closed that September (2008) and Tapas opened in November of that year.

Brad and Christine based the idea for Tapas on one of their favorite restaurants.

Christine began researching the Spanish-style dishes (the word tapas means snack or appetizer) and realized it fit well with her philosophy of putting food together to bring out the flavors, not disguising food with heavy sauces. Christine said she knew she could create the menu because that is the food she likes to eat—Greek and Mediterranean flavors. “Because we make all the food from scratch, people know exactly what they are getting,” says Christine. Tapas offers several vegan and vegetarian dishes and serves a full lunch and dinner, as well as tapas all day. It is open for breakfast Saturday and there is a Sunday brunch. And don’t forget the gorgeous bar and fabulous cocktails. Each juice is hand squeezed, each mixer made from scratch. (And it just might be the best mojito I’ve ever had – no doubt Christine’s recipe.)

“We’re inspired by what people like,” says Brad. “We want the food to really stand on its own, and we wanted to have a place where we would want to spend a lot of time because we like to have fun with everything we do.”

Adds Christine, “We feel extremely fortunate, especially in these economic times, that we have such a growing clientele. So do I think we’re doing well? Yes.” Well enough, even, to open a second restaurant.

Christine had stayed in contact with the Downtown Eatery people and was interested in taking over the space. “Owning one restaurant buys you a job,” she says. “But owning multiple places is the way to go.” So with their silent partner, Bob Gallegos, owner of the Millhouse Deli, they decided to reopen Maxwell’s, a popular downtown restaurant that closed in the ‘90s. “The more we thought about it, the more the name fit,” says Christine. “Why throw away the past? Revive it. Bring a little of the past to downtown.” So Maxwell’s Downtown is this dynamic duo’s most recent venture. They aren’t looking to duplicate Maxwell’s, but rather, identify another niche to fill: a brew pub downtown. As Christine so aptly states, “All the more downtown.” Brad feels they’re on good terms with other restaurateurs in town, and that they can all do what they do differently, and do it well. “There’s room for everybody.”

These two seem almost too good to be true when talking about their love of the business (and each other!), but they aren’t. “I appreciate Brad,” says Christine. “He’s a good partner. We’re a good team.” The bottom line, according to Brad? “It feels good at the end of the day.” • 1257 Oregon St. Redding (530) 247-7299 www.tapasdowntown.com

septemberrecipes N E W O R L E A N S - S T Y L E M U F F U L E T TA

Do you have a favorite sandwich, and where is it from? Is it a Gyro from Greece? A traditional Cuban sandwich? Well, if you love sandwiches, give this one a try… a muffuletta, pronounced “moof uh lotta”.

I had my first muffuletta two years ago in New Orleans at the Central Grocery, where the sandwich was invented. This old-fashioned neighborhood grocery and sandwich counter was founded in 1906 by a Sicilian immigrant. He created the sandwich to sell it to the Sicilian truck farmers who sold their produce at the Farmers’ Market in the French Quarter. Today it is owned by his grandson and two cousins. The once-residential location is filled with tourists now, but it has retained much of its old world market feel.

A very tasty olive mix is the key ingredient in the muffuletta.

Ideally, make the sandwich an hour or two before eating it so the juices from the olive mix can soak into the bread. The olive mix for this famous New Orleans sandwich should be made a day in advance to give the flavors time to meld. This recipe makes a lot, but if kept sealed tight in the refrigerator, it should keep for several weeks (not sure, as it never lasts that long at this house).

As for the bread, I got this recipe from Central Grocery, but you can readily find round loaves at most markets. You are looking for either individual, single loaves about four inches in diameter, or one large one, about eight to 10 inches in diameter.

Either should be an inch and a half to two inches thick. The large loaf is perfect for the whole family. Just half and then quarter the sandwiches, usually just right for a good appetite.

Muffuletta Sandwich Ingredients: 1 loaf Mufuletta bread (recipe below or use other Italian bread) 1 cup olive mix (recipe below or available at your grocery’s deli) ¼ lb. sliced ham ¼ lb. sliced mortadella ¼ lb. sliced Genoa salami ¼ lb. sliced provolone ¼ lb. sliced mozzarella Olive Mix Ingredients: ¾ cup pimento-stuffed olives ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives ¼ cup giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables) 2 lg. pepperoncini 3 - 4 pickled onions 2 T capers 1 medium clove garlic, chopped 1 tsp. dried oregano Fresh ground black pepper 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 2 T olive oil Muffuletta Bread Ingredients: 2 cups bread flour (see note below) 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups water 1 T salt 1 T sugar 2 T olive oil 2 tsp. quick/rapid-rise yeast

RECIPES

Muffuletta Sandwich Cut bread in half horizontally. Brush with olive oil and toast both pieces. On the bottom piece, spread with olive mix then layer on meats and cheeses. Cover with top half and wrap in plastic wrap to enable juices to soak the bread. As an option and the way we prefer it is to place the finished sandwich in a skillet and heat the bottom and then flip to heat the top through. Both sides of the sandwich will be lightly toasted and the meats and cheeses will be slightly warmed through. Slice into quarters and serve.

O live mix Drain all ingredients. Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to a small, course chop.

muffuletta bread Using the dough hook on your stand mixer, combine all-purpose flour, 2 cups bread flour, water, salt, sugar, olive oil, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer, scraping down sides as needed, at low speed until blended. Add additional flour if needed, but dough should be a bit sticky.

Increase speed to medium and knead for eight minutes. Turn dough out onto lightly floured board and form into a ball. Clean and dry mixing bowl and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, seam-side down, and spray top lightly with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 ½ hours. Turn dough out onto the floured board and knead for two minutes. Divide in half, and form into balls. Let dough rest for 15 minutes, then flatten out into discs seven to eight inches in diameter. Place each disc on a baking sheet, and poke all over with a fork. Cover with plastic sprayed with oil and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 ½ hours. If you have a baking stone, place it on a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425F. Bake each loaf for 20 to 25 minutes until well-browned.

Cool on a wire rack completely before slicing.

Note: You can use only all-purpose flour if you wish, but the bread flour adds a bit more chewiness.

name ALLEN LARSON

occupation BEEKEEPER AND HONEY MAKER

WHAT’S IN STORE A L L E N L A R S O N ’ S G OT T H E B E E S A N D H O N E Y J U S T F O R YO U Got bees? Believe it or not, it’s not as challenging as you might think to have your very own beehive. North State native Allen Larson of GetBees.Net has made a career of selling beehives to people, then taking care of them so his customers can have their very own honey, right in their backyard. If you’d like to get a taste of the work that Larson does, you can check out honey from various types of flowers at Enjoy the Store. We caught up with Larson for the lowdown on bee business.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your business. I grew up in Red Bluff and have been around bees ever since my mother began working for a neighbor who had a large apiary (bee farm). On her first day, she was stung 12 times, but went back to work the next day. I started working for them off and on during the spring when I was about 13, catching queen bees for shipping to other beekeepers.

After many years of working with the bees we decided to start our own apiary in 1986. In 2007, while working at a farmers’ market selling honey, I came up with the idea of selling homeowners a beehive, then taking care of it for them so they get their own honey from their own backyard.

What sorts of products will you be selling in Enjoy The Store?

I will have three or four types of honey from different flower sources.

Each will have a different taste. All of my honey is raw – not cooked or pasteurized. We will also sell local flowers that are great for allergies.

79 Enjoy September 2010

What is the biggest challenge of being a beekeeper?

Beekeeping is one of the hardest small businesses I can think of, with worries of all sizes all the time. It is a challenge to keep the bees alive and free from all of the different diseases, fungi, parasites, animals,

on the store front and of course, manmade problems like pesticides and poisons. The weather can be the biggest problem from season to season – it’s too hot or too cold, too dry or too wet.

What are the biggest worries that your customers have?

Most of my backyard beekeeping customers start out being worried about stings and neighbors complaining. Out of 100 customers over three years, there have only been a couple of stings and no complaints.

Coming next month in the “What’s in Store” section, things get warm and fuzzy with Castle Ranch Alpacas.

Look for the store to debut this month... check our website, www.enjoythestore.com to find the date.

This month’s feature, GetBees’ flavorful honey from various types of flowers:

What is the biggest misconception that people have about your career? It’s funny how many times people ask if I have been stung. Of course, I have been stung many hundreds of times. People also ask if the honey is real. They also think that since the honey has different flavors, I add flavoring to it, not realizing that Mother Nature is doing this. Each flower source gives off a different nectar source and taste. A large field of star thistle will taste different than a field of blackberry or manzanita, so try them all, and see what you enjoy.

What are the benefits of keeping bees? I enjoy meeting people at the farmers’ market, working outside in the fields, seeing bees flourish and grow and multiply. My bee business is not like the traditional beekeeper. I’m actually traveling from house to house, giving lessons and caring for individual hives. The need for bees now is greater than ever, and I think people are becoming aware of the need and demand for the mass pollination, which keeps food on people’s tables. People are also getting into self producing, be it small gardens or a small chicken coop in the backyard, so producing your own honey from a hive seems to be the way of the future. A hive makes about 20 to 50 pounds of extra honey a year, which is plenty for the average home. Some people just want one so they know they will have pollinators for their gardens. Others just want to learn about beekeeping for a hobby, and some just want to help out the bees.•

rockofages DAVE ALVIN & THE GUILTY WOMEN PLAY FOR A GOOD CAUSE Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women do a bang-up version of the classic tune, “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be).”

When it comes to the Redding School District, a group of concerned area residents have decided that whatever will be, will certainly include music education.

On Sept. 29 at the Cascade Theatre, the dynamic Americana/rock band fronted by Alvin will perform a concert to benefit the district’s music programs, which have been impacted by reductions in state educational funding. The concert, dubbed “A Noteworthy Cause,” will also benefit KIXE public television.

The Redding School District lost three music teachers over the past year as a result of $2.9 million in budget cuts. Parents of students and the non-profit group Classics for Kids joined forces to help make the concert a benefit for the district’s music programs. The money raised will help boost music education, which remains a high priority within the school district, says Superintendent Diane Kempley.

“Children who are involved in music programs are generally higher achieving,” Kempley says. “So we know the power of music education in terms of higher levels of reading and math scores. We’re certainly not doing away with our music programs, but we’re looking at doing them differently. They’re going to be more customized to fit the needs of each school site.”

While cutting music teachers was an ugly prospect, it was unavoidable amid a cycle where the district lost nearly a dozen teachers and several other employees prior to the 2010-11 school year.

Classics for Kids, which typically raises money to purchase high-end stringed instruments for elementary students, has shifted its focus to benefit the wider cause of music education within the district. Money raised from the concert may go to any number of needs, including transportation, special events, funding adjunct instructors or purchasing instruments.

“This is a big music town and we’ve got to make sure our students are starting their music education early,” says Judy Salter, board chair for the Classics for Kids program. “Beyond raising money, we hope this concert can help get the word out to the community that we really need to support the music programs in the Redding School District.”

Alvin’s band includes an all-star cast of female musicians including dobro/steel guitar player Cindy Cashdollar, guitarist Nina Gerber, vocalist Christy McWilson, drummer Lisa Pankratz and others. Alvin himself is a Grammy Award winner known for his diversity in music – from rockabilly/blues guitar hero to Americana/folk songwriting master craftsman.

Students from the school district will also perform.

“The arts are so important in producing very well-rounded kids,” says Salter. “We’re incredibly deep in music in all the school districts and I think people really understand the value of that. To save these programs, we really have to step up to the plate.” • 83 Enjoy September 2010
