Love is in the air this month – though you might need to dodge a few raindrops when you step outside to breathe it in! We love dreaming up thoughtful ways to show the special people in our lives how much we care, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to do so. Debra Lucero is providing the greater North State with ample opportunity to kindle their love for the arts. As executive director of the Shasta County Arts Council, she’s maintaining MATT AND a packed calendar of recitals, exhibits, performances, dance CELESTE STARK classes, drumming sessions and more. by Kara Stewart It’s said that you can’t love another until you truly love yourself, and we’re showcasing three local heroines who are planting seeds of self-love within the hearts of others, making the world a better place, one affirmation at a time. We’ll also share how Ken Grossman’s passion for brewing has grown into the country’s third-largest craft brewery. In addition to making world-class beers, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has been recognized on local, regional and national levels for its environmental friendliness. Paul “Palul” Rideout combines his affinity for geology, chemistry, history and physics with his pottery skills to create remarkable works of art, and today, Redding’s master potter is restoring a fragment of ancient Chinese history. We’ll give you a peek into his workspace. If you’re still looking for that perfect, handmade gift to present to your true love on Valentine’s Day, stop by Enjoy the Store in Redding or Red Bluff – we’ll help you make a thoughtful selection and wrap it up while you wait. Celebrate love, and enjoy!

Twelve years ago, Yvonne Mazzotta and Michelle Adams had no idea where the road ahead would lead – they’d just lost their jobs at KMS Haircare when it changed ownership. Seeing a niche in their community, they put their creative, business-minded brains together and started InHouse Marketing on a wing and a prayer. Ronda Ball-Alvey, James Mazzotta and a handful of other KMS employees joined the crew a few months later, adding even more depth and breadth to the company. Today, Yvonne and Michelle’s company (now Enjoy Inc.) is an award-winning marketing firm, and the women are the publishers of the magazine that you hold in your hands today. The world has changed considerably in that time— Yvonne and James’ sons have grown from toddlers into young men, Michelle had a little girl who is now 10 years old, Ronda grew from a mother of teens to a grandmother of three, and the magazine has doubled in size—but their commitment to thoughtful and inspiring coverage of the North State remains steady.
Here’s to another 12 years and beyond!

Erin & Craig Friedman
“It was 1977, when disco was all the rage, and I was 16 years old. All the cool kids were talking about a teenage disco on Van Nuys Boulevard called ‘My Uncle’s.’ A girlfriend and I went to check it out, and it was kind of a drag— until a cute, kind of awkward, 17-year-old boy asked me to dance. Craig and I fell in love on the dance floor and we’ve been together ever since.
Jessica & Josh Root
“My hubby and I have been married for 13 years. We went to school from kindergarten all through high school. We lived on the same block growing up. He went to the military. I started writing to him as a friend while he was gone. When he came home, he was a grown man and very handsome. The rest is history, three children and 13 awesome years later.”
Linda & Tony Kilcollins
“My husband Tony and I met on Match.com. We had so much in common (worked in law enforcement at the time, love to entertain, cook, wine taste, kayak), yet our paths would probably never have crossed. Tony is from Chico and I’m from Redding. We have since retired from our full-time careers and now share our love for entertaining and cooking with others as the proud owners and innkeepers of Old Thyme Bed and Breakfast on Placer. We opened our business on Valentine’s Day 2014.”

Brenna & Paul David
“I met my husband when I inquired about having a vendor space at the Redding Bridal Show. After talking over email about business advice, I met him for coffee to hire him for social media. We have been together ever since – we were both single parents and blended our family of seven when we married in May 2016.”
Jenny & Peter Young
“Peter and I met during my bachelor’s program. He walked in the classroom of my third class and said, ‘Are ya ready, kids?’ in the pirate-sounding voice anyone with kids is familiar with, and I softly said, ‘Aye Aye, Captain.’ He was excited and shocked that someone had responded and continued forward with the whole SpongeBob theme song. We had an office hour six months later to discuss master’s programs that I was interested in, and sparks ignited. We discovered that we lived six doors from each other, that we both had a love for God and strong desires for connection and depth. We were married the following year in a crazy romantic wedding that included everyone walking down the aisle on crutches due to my broken ankle.”4 continued on page 12

Janette & Blake Cull
“I’m the youngest of four kids, and much to my older sister Jenn’s annoyance, I followed her around everywhere. I’d look around her room at all her pictures with friends in admiration. There was one picture in particular that I had my eyes on, which I thought had the cutest boy in it. His name was Blake, and Jenn went to school and church with him. Fast-forward 15 years… after graduating high school, I went on to pursue my passion in cooking and to achieve my ultimate dream of one day owning my own bakery. After he graduated high school, he went on to play baseball at Shasta College, Simpson University and then the Colt 45s. He was then signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks but was later released when they found a torn ligament in his elbow. After surgery and therapy, his baseball career took him to numerous places before he landed back in Redding. Two weeks later, we happened to stumble upon each other on the Internet. When I first saw his message on the screen, my heart stopped! We decided to meet up, and I remember calling my sister to tell her the exciting news. The next day, we began to catch up, and what seemed like minutes turned into hours. By the end of the night he asked me to officially be his girlfriend. A week and a half later, he told me he loved me, to which with no hesitation, I said it immediately back. A month 6 and a half later, in front of all of our friends and family, he proposed at Big League Dreams, on the softball field after his game. By four and a half months, on a very stormy October day, we said, “I do.” The weather was a disaster but it didn’t matter. Nothing could stop me from marrying the man of my dreams. Life is so crazy sometimes. I never would have imagined my little schoolgirl crush would eventually become 7 my husband, but I am so thankful for life’s unpredictable surprises. We have now been married for two years and couldn’t be happier. I fall more in love with him every day.”

Melissa Fraizer & Greg Thorson
“It was a cold December night. I was on my phone sitting in front of the TV, busily swiping left and right on a dating app. I came across a cute face whose two-line profile said he was a professor from Colorado. “Cute and intriguing,” I thought to myself. We texted for one week and planned to meet on a Tuesday. I backed out. My nerves got the best of me. We decided to meet the following week. We talked about dinner and a movie. We both decided that if the conversation was going well that we would skip the movie. After finishing our MOD pizza, Greg set his napkin down and said that we better get to the theater. My heart sank. About halfway through the movie Greg put his hand on my knee. I knew then that I was still in the game! After the movie Greg asked if I wanted to go get coffee. We sat in Denny’s for a couple hours, talked about ourselves and laughed about life. Greg has been my best friend since that night. We still laugh to the point of tears, we are able to communicate our needs and wants, and even after a year of dating, my daughters say that we still act like teenagers in love.”
Tim & Becky Quigley
“I was a flight attendant with an airline company that transported fire crews around the states during the fire season. Tim was a smokejumper here in Redding and our first encounter was when he was on one of my flights. The summer of 1985 I was here in Redding to give another flight attendant days off. Another jumper invited me and another co-worker for drinks at DeArmond’s. Come to find out, it was a bachelor party for a jumper that was getting married the next day. It was later that night that I really noticed Tim and wanted to know more about him. He later asked me on a date, and on that first date he brought me by to see the new home he was having built. It was just a slab of concrete with pipes sticking up and as he showed me where rooms would be, I sat there and watched. After, he asked what I thought, and my response was, “Personally, I would never want to live here.” He asked me why, and I told him I wasn’t fond of the garage being the focal point, no windows other than the slider facing north and the kitchen window facing west and the living room being in the back where you couldn’t see what was going on out front. Well, never say never! We moved in to that house in November 1985, got engaged in October 1986 and got married in October 1987. We raised two beautiful girls in that house and they both are now grown and have moved on. Tim has retired from the Forest Service and we are starting the next chapter of our lives, in the very same house, after 31 years.”4 continued on page 14

Travis & Samantha Klein
TRAVIS’ STORY: One of the earliest memories I have of Samantha might sound bad, but I thought she was sooo annoying. Mark (my stepdad) has been best friends with Herb (Sammi’s uncle) since before we were born. We used to go over to Herb’s all the time for family dinners. I remember Sammi following me around like a little lost kitten, and just as annoying. She would always try to talk to me, sit by me, play with me… ugghhh, I wanted nothing to do with her! Keep in mind I was probably 7 or 8, and she was 4 or 5. She used to always tell me one day she was going to marry me. As I grew up and got involved in sports and other activities, we went over there less and less, which ended up turning into not going over there at all for years. Fast-forward about 12 years to November 2001. I was home from college for Thanksgiving break. Emily (my younger sister) asked me if I wanted to go play miniature golf with her and her friend, and I agreed. What 19-yearold doesn’t like miniature golf ? I should have known she was up to no good. Emily started giving me directions to her friend’s house to pick her up. I was starting to become suspicious, as most of her friends lived in Palo Cedro. I started asking questions, but by the time I had figured it out, it was too late, I had been tricked and I didn’t stand a chance. I remember pulling into Sammi’s driveway followed by the longest walk ever up to her doorway. Thoughts and old memories were racing through my head. All I could remember was how annoying she was, and this was going to be awful. I knocked on the door, and this beautiful young girl answered. We both kind of paused for a second, and I distinctively remember the look on her face, as it was probably the same as mine – wide-eyed, mouth partially opened – “WHOA.” Miniature golf was closed, so we went to a movie. Of course, when I sat down, Sammi had to sit next to me, just like she used to, only this time it wasn’t as annoying. I remember Emily getting up to go the bathroom, and Sammi turned her head toward me and kissed me – I was done for! We started officially dating a couple of weeks later at Sammi’s Sweet 16 birthday. On Valentine’s Day 2013, I asked her to be my wife. Twelve years before we starting dating, I couldn’t stand to be around her. Twelve years after we started dating, I can’t stand NOT to be around her. Without a doubt, Samantha and I were meant to be together, even if at first it seemed like a curse.
SAMANTHA’S STORY: My first memory of Travis was when I was about 4 or 5. We were all stuck inside. Travis (around 7 or 8) was sitting on my aunt’s couch watching TV. I was infatuated with him... he was a BOY and sooo cute! All I wanted was to talk to him, so I got closer, and closer. Travis kept moving the other way. “What was wrong with this boy?” I thought. “He hates me!” Now I know It wasn’t the right time for him to notice me. I’m glad he ignored me. If he hadn’t, maybe I wouldn’t be writing our story today. Travis disappeared; he stuck his nose in books and focused on school. But I never forgot about him. Travis was away at Cal Poly and he came to town for his 19th birthday and Thanksgiving. Emily, my cohort, and I planned a fun day mini golfing and she asked Travis to drive us. I admit, it was a set up. But, I was finally going to see this boy I thought of so often. He knocked on the door and just like I remembered, he was perfect – everything I thought he could be! It was just our luck the mini golf course was closed. I thought, “Oh no! My chances are shot!” Then we decided to see a movie. I remember sitting through the movie smiling ear to ear. We talked on the phone every day for the next month. Travis surprised me on my Sweet 16 birthday with a dozen pink roses and we finally made our relationship official. My dad was not so happy on this day—a 19-year-old boy showing up with roses. But it didn’t take long for my dad to figure out Travis was an amazing young man. My dad recently told me he prayed I’d find a man like Travis. Travis became an instant part of my family 9 and that is where he will stay forever. Travis and I got married in July 2014 and it was truly the most amazing day of my life. We celebrated 15 years of being together in December 2016. I’ve spent half my life with this man and I love him more every day. •

HISTORY
| BY AL ROCCA
A R MY P I LOT J O H N W. B E N TO N BENTON AIRFIELD, Redding’s historic westside airport, is named for Army aviator John W. Benton. Born on November 27, 1896 in Manton, Benton enjoyed the outdoor life. As an adolescent and a young man, Benton was fascinated with the adventures of Wilbur and Orville Wright and other early aviators. He left Shasta County to attend the University of California and graduated from the School of Military Aeronautics. From here, the young flier trained at Rockwell Field in San Diego, receiving his “wings” and his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. Like most adventurous young pilots of the time, Benton hoped to see action in World War I. However, America, a late entry into the war, had many more pilots than available airplanes in France. Instead, he moved from one Army aviation training center to another, serving as flight instructor. His main assignment was to teach new pilots how to fly Thomas Morse scout planes, and later, how to successfully pursue enemy aircraft. The war ended before Benton received his orders to go overseas. Disappointed, he requested a discharge in early 1919. Back in Shasta County briefly, Benton worked in his father’s successful lumber business. However, he still dreamed of an exciting flying career, so he re-enlisted the following year. This time he went to March Field, near Riverside. With a promotion to first lieutenant, Benton wanted to be closer to family and he did receive new orders to report to Kelly Field (San Antonio, Texas), and finally, Crissy Field at the Presidio in San Francisco. In December 1926, Benton served as a pilot on the U. S. Army PanAmerican Goodwill Flight. The mission included presenting “messages of friendship” from President Calvin Coolidge to the foreign governments south of the United States. One set of flyers, including Benton, began from San Antonio and flew south, stopping at airports
in Mexico, Central America, Columbia, Peru and Chile. The other crew headed south from the east coast, visiting the Caribbean, Venezuela and Brazil. The crews timed their flight to arrive in Buenos Aires, Argentina close to the same time. Everything went fine until they met. On February 26, 1927, Benton and colleague Clinton Woolsey, flying together in the Detroit, came too close to another plane. The details of what happened next are ambiguous, as accounts differ on some details of the disaster. The New York Times stated that three Argentine planes came up from an airport serving Buenos Aires to greet the two American planes, the Detroit and the New York. Crowds below watched in delight as the Argentine pilots maneuvered their planes in basic stunt formations. The American pilots then mimicked these moves. As the planes neared the airport, the Detroit and New York descended together at what appeared to be “a prudent distance.” However, all at once the two planes drifted together, locking their wings. Observers on the ground gasped as a burst of smoke followed the initial noise of the crash. The planes fell as one mangled heap. Within seconds, two parachutes appeared and drifted downward and apart from the falling debris. These parachutes belonged to the crew of the New York. Later, one version of the story reported that Benton “had put on a parachute but it failed to open,” while Woolsey “was burned to death.” The two pilots of the New York landed safely, ran to the wreckage of the Detroit and tried to help: “Such was their excitement and desperation that it was necessary to restrain them by force from throwing themselves into the flaming planes in an effort to get the bodies of their companions.”4 continued on page 18

Benton’s wife, Zelma Carrol Benton, received the news from her home at the Presidio in San Francisco. Reports stated that she was “prostrated by the news of her husband’s death” and she remained in seclusion with her two children, Jack 8, and Thomas, 4. The commander of Crissy Field, Major Delos Emmons, consoled Mrs. Benton with these words: “Lieutenant Benton was one of the finest products of the Air Corps. He was loyal and enthusiastic, and I believe no man on the Pacific Coast had more friends than did the Lieutenant. The Air Corps has lost one of its finest.” Full military honors included a ceremony headed by Secretary of War F. Trubee Davison and an Army flyover. Woolsey’s body was sent on for burial at his home in Northport, Mich., while Benton came home to San Francisco. He is buried at the National Cemetery at the Presidio. Later in the year, John W. Benton received, posthumously, from President Calvin Coolidge, the Distinguished Flying Cross for his years as an Army aviator displaying “initiative, resourcefulness and a high degree of skill under the many trying conditions encountered.”• Al M. Rocca is Professor Emeritus of Education at Simpson University. He has published numerous books and articles on the local history of Northern California. His most recent publication is “Shasta County in the Early 20th Century: The Coming of the Automobile and Other Events, 1900-1910.” It is available at Enjoy the Store.

Working within the red brick walls of one of Redding’s oldest buildings, the executive director of the Shasta County Arts Council is taking Northern California arts into new territory. “I want arts to be recognized — to be a power to be reckoned with,” she says. Lucero has been in her job for six years, earning praise for her ideas, leadership, collaboration and tenacity. “If you are working with Debra on anything, you know it is going to get done. And you know it is going to be better than you imagined it,” Viva Downtown Executive Director John Truitt says. “She doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” says Carl Bott, owner of KCNR radio. “She has a clear vision of what she believes in and what she thinks Redding can be.” The Arts Council, like a collage made of multiple materials, has many layers and textures. The nonprofit organization orchestrates a packed calendar of recitals, exhibits, performances, dance classes, drumming sessions and more at its Old City Hall headquarters in downtown Redding. It collaborates with Viva Downtown, Visit Redding, Shasta Historical Society and other organizations and agencies to put on festivals, performances, exhibits and other community events, such as the downtown Hops and Shops on Feb. 25.
Lucero focuses her energy on championing the arts. “My role, my calling, is to advocate,” she says. “I like bringing arts to the main table.” Artists add value to a community, Lucero says. “They are curious people who figure out how to do things with what they have.” Lucero isn’t an artist — her background is journalism — but she has the artist trait of being drawn to possibilities. She leads “This Place Matters — Redding,” a new coalition pushing for a downtown cultural district to preserve historic assets and encourage establishment of shops, galleries, restaurants and performing spaces. Art is intertwined in a community’s past and present, and key to its future, Lucero believes. “Debra knows that arts and culture boost our economy, and that a robust economy boosts arts and culture,” says Shannon Phillips, vice president of operations for The McConnell Foundation, which has worked with the Arts Council on several grants. In 2013, Lucero sought — and got — the contract to operate Redding public access television. Shasta County Arts Council became the first arts council in the state to take on such a role. “A lot of people were like, ‘What does that have to do with the arts?’” Lucero says. “My answer: ‘What doesn’t it have to do with the arts?’”4 continued on page 22

Shasta Community Access Center TV is an opportunity to increase awareness of arts by covering exhibits, concerts and other events, she says. Television shows can be developed to highlight the area’s musicians, painters and dancers, or to explain processes, such as a step-bystep show on how to paint. Lucero sees the upstairs television studio at Old City Hall as a learning laboratory — a place to gain skills in scriptwriting, sound recording, filming and editing. The Arts Council has held two digital media summer camps. It partners with Pacific Sky and Record Searchlight on the 530 Media Project, offering community workshops on Google Drive, Facebook, blogging, video editing and other topics. Those skills matter to today’s artists, who reach audiences via websites and social media, Lucero notes. “It’s put us on a whole different path,” she says of the television contract. “It brought us into a new age.” In addition to her job in Redding, Lucero heads Friends of the Arts Upstate, a California Arts Council partner for Butte County in Chico. She recently established True North Arts & Culture Alliance, a network of arts organizations in Shasta, Butte, Siskiyou, Tehama and Trinity counties to create a bigger voice for the arts in rural areas. The alliance hosted a California Arts Council meeting in Redding last September. In June, Lucero joined the board of Californians for the Arts, a statewide organization. Lucero was born in Chico, grew up in Corning and attended Shasta College and Chico State University. She earned a bachelor’s degree in communications and was a journalist for newspapers in Red Bluff, Paradise, Chico and Orange County. She worked for National Council of La Raza, a Latino lobbying group, and established a consulting firm, Debra Lucero and Associates, working in economic development and tourism. Her husband, Ray Laager, is an artist. Lucero describes him as “a jewelry designer and clothing tie-dye king.” They have three grown children — two daughters and a son. • www.shastaartscouncil.org www.scac.tv www.truenorthartsculture.org

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS
R E STO R I N G C H I N E S E H I STO RY MORE THAN 2,200 YEARS AGO, Chinese potters honored their country’s first emperor by building him a mausoleum and filling it with thousands of terra cotta clay soldiers to protect him in the afterlife. A couple of millennia later, a vacationing Redding dentist purchased a life-sized replica of one of these ancient warriors, which stood watch over his backyard until it eventually weathered down into need of repair. To deal with cracks that threatened to collapse the terra cotta statue, Dr. Gregory Yim called on Shasta County’s go-to clay expert Palul, the artistic name for Paul Rideout. Redding’s master potter is known for his 26 years of ceramics classes for Shasta College, his fired clay exhibits in local galleries and for his toothy, tiled pyramids in Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Palul eagerly welcomed “the General” to his home studio. “As soon as I heard of the terra cotta warriors I said, ‘Cool,’” he recalls. “I like Chinese history and philosophy.” Yim gave him the piece, and when he’s finished restoring it, he plans to donate it for public display in a place like Turtle Bay, Peter Chu’s Skyroom at the Redding airport or the Joss House in Weaverville.4 continued on page 28

The General arrived in four pieces: head, torso and base, with the feet broken off. Reassembled, the clay figure will stand about six feet tall and weigh approximately 450 pounds. As with the 2,000-year-old originals, time has stripped all brightly colored paint from this copy’s surfaces, rendering bare clay in shades of reds and grays. Palul says the original terra cotta warriors were fired in caves. Potters found a hill made of out of clay. When they dug out the clay, they created a cave. They used a wood fire that turned the cave into a kiln, and as they fired the warriors, the walls of the cave became pottery, too. Turning to the immediate task of the day, the master potter picks up a rasp and leans over the General. He uses the tool to flatten the bottom edges of the torso so it will sit cleanly on the base when the two pieces are joined. In addition to clay, his rasp levels a familiar white substance filling the torso. “I didn’t expect for them to have styrofoam back then,” he jokes, as if he was working on one of the ancient originals. “We didn’t know how advanced they were.” This dry sense of humor is only one facet of Rideout, a serious artist who grew up in the 1950s on the East Coast, then drifted westward. “I traveled, I wrote, I painted,” he recalls. “The artist in me needed to get out. I showed up in Haight Ashbury when it was really happening.” In 1970, he moved up to Redding with his first wife to take a lab tech position. Decades of working in a lab gave Rideout a firm foundation in

science, for which he carried a passion equal to that of his art. “Too much science or too much art, you get unbalanced,” he says. “The balance calms me.” He added ceramics to his repertoire after meeting a potter who offered to show him the craft. “That was it,” he says. As Palul, Rideout says, he combined his keen interests in geology, chemistry, history and physics, and modeled them into his pottery, which fills shelf after shelf lining the walls of his work areas. His current focus, interrupted by the arrival of the General, is what he calls the Hubble series, in which he combines hand etching and glaze to mimic the spectacular images sent back to earth by the giant space telescope. “I’m in awe of being able to look at the complexity of the universe,” he says, “to see all the stars being born, exploding. I feel like when you die, it will be something like that.” He quickly adds, "I'm 75 now. I'm very healthy." Palul says that although Hubble series sits at the top of his to-do list, he expects he will gradually restore the General, with which he feels a certain kinship. “My heart is in it. Having it in my studio makes me feel good,” he muses. “It’s part of clay history, maybe part of my history too, as in a past life or something.” • Richard DuPertuis is a born writer and a new resident of Redding. During his 12 years in Dunsmuir, his stories and photographs appeared in Shasta and Siskiyou County newspapers.

Adding it up!
As a Senior in High School I had no idea what I wanted for my future, so I chose to go to Shasta College. There I knew I would be able to live on my own, begin my college education and explore all my options without the pressures or costs of a four-year university. During my first semester, I took a statistics class where my teacher recommended I be a math tutor in the college’s Math Learning Center! Soon afterwards, I found another opportunity as a teacher’s assistant in an English as a Second Language class. Now in my third semester I have been fortunate enough to be offered a job as a teacher’s assistant in a basic skills math class. These on-campus opportunities have led me to realize that I am skilled and passionate about teaching and fascinated by math. These opportunities helped me to make the decision to transfer to UC Davis to major in math and become a teacher. My time at Shasta College has been full of opportunities that have allowed me to discover a career I know I will be passionate about. Since my first day, the teachers and staff at Shasta College have opened doors for me and helped me explore the path to my future.

A CITY IS MADE of much more than brick and stone, and its buildings are only empty edifices without people to enjoy them. Still, a city is in part the sum of its buildings – these creative and practical structures that help define a neighborhood, community, even a culture. Any practiced architect knows how to design a building, but a great architect knows that his responsibility belongs not just to his clients but also to the greater community in which a project will be built. Redding architectural firm Nichols, Melburg, & Rossetto has built a reputation for gathering such architects, and a hallmark of that success is the firm’s longevity. This year NMR celebrates its 50th anniversary. Gene Nichols founded NMR in 1967, later inviting architect Les Melburg to become a partner, and then rounding out the NMR trio by inviting Dan Rossetto to become a partner in 1985. “We started Nichols and Melburg with about ten or eleven people,” says Melburg, “and later we invited Dan Rossetto. He had a specialty practice that we didn’t cover – educational architecture.” Despite the practice’s small beginnings, NMR has grown to nearly 70 employees, and expanded to offices in Chico and Santa Rosa, as well as Redding. As the largest architectural firm in Northern California north of Sacramento, NMR has played a large and broad role in designing civic, educational, and healthcare structures, as well as commercial and custom residential projects throughout Redding. “We’re lucky to be involved in most of the significant projects in Redding,” says Melburg. “So we’ve helped shape the town, I think, in a good way. We’re trying to do things to make the town proud.” That effort requires on NMR’s part an understanding of the community in which it belongs, and Melburg agrees. “Architecture should be largely contextual. You want to be sensitive to the surroundings,” he says. And while designing buildings is the beginning of any architectural firm, according to Melburg it shouldn’t be the end. “Every business has to be something more than go to work every day, do your job and go home. We encourage our staff to be a part of the community, because these are the people that we work for and with, so let’s support them,” he says. “We donate back to the community something to the order of $50,000 a year to various causes, and we try to be low key about it. Part of our philosophy is to give quietly and meaningfully,” he adds.4 continued on page 32

While NMR doesn’t go out of its way to broadcast its contributions to the community, it has offered support to YMCA and Shasta Symphony, “as well as organizations that help the underprivileged, like People of Progress Home and the Good News Rescue Mission,” says Melburg. “My personal favorite, because I have a soft spot for animals, is the Haven Humane Society.” Ultimately, says Melburg, “to understand how to develop the community, that means participating in the community.” That NMR can even celebrate its 50th anniversary is evidence that the firm hasn’t just helped shape the community, but also become a part of it. “Frankly any business that lasts 50 years anymore is somewhat significant,” Melburg muses, “and especially in a profession like architecture where people tend not to stay in the same place very long. It’s the just nature of people who become architects. They move around a lot. Or change firms a lot.” But Redding, says Melburg, is a special place, and has perhaps attracted a special kind of people to the firm. Many of NMR’s employees have long been invested in Redding personally, while working for the firm for as many as 25 years.
“The longevity of our employees,” says Melburg, “gives a certain stability, and the clientele know who they are getting, but there’s already a new generation of partners in the firm,” about which Melburg is equally excited. That’s the future, he says, and especially “the proliferation of excellent young, female architects.” Currently the staff at NMR is nearly 50 percent women. “That’s something that I never could have projected. We look for great talent wherever we can find it, and the future is how we develop the young people to be great architects. We’re certainly thinking we could last another 50 the way it’s going.” • Nichols, Melburg, & Rossetto Architects + Engineers 300 Knollcrest Drive,Redding • www.nmrdesign.com Jordan Venema is a freelance writer and California native.

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:

LOVE THY SELF
THE LINE BETWEEN SELF-LOVE and conceit isn’t quite as fine as some may think. The distinction between these two very different points is often blurred, leading those who support the idea that they are worthy of love and respect – those who carry confidence in their hearts, embrace their own imperfections and hold fast to the need for self-care – to be relegated to the realm of narcissism. But with so many examples of women being made to feel inferior to their male counterparts personally, professionally, physically and spiritually, taking the time to nurture a bit of self-love is paramount. Recognizing that the benefits of self-love can change the world for the better is a concept that might just create a necessary shift in the matrix. Meet Eva Ochoa, Alexis Asbe and Heather Phillips, three North State women from three very different professional backgrounds who are planting seeds of selflove within the hearts of the women around them and nurturing them in their own special way.4 continued on page 36

EVA OCHOA Owner, Stylist and Photographer at Glamourpuss Pin-Up Studio “Red lipstick is glamour and confidence all rolled into one — and a confident woman can do anything she wants,” says Eva Ochoa, owner of Glamourpuss Pin-Up Studio in Anderson. This thriving small business, founded in 2011, is known for its beautifully stylized 1950s-style photography. During each session, clients of all sizes (ranging from extra small through 4X), all body types and all ages are treated to a glamorous vintage make-over, complete with hair, makeup, clothing, backdrops and props. While it’s an incredibly fun experience for clients and the photographer alike, Ochoa insists that what is most remarkable “is what is underneath the surface of this experience.” “My motto has always been ‘to increase women’s self-esteem, selfacceptance and body confidence one pin-up photo shoot at a time.’ Some of the women that I have been hired to photograph say that it has been a very long time since they have felt beautiful — and some of them have never felt that way. During the photo shoot, I’ll often show a client a shot right from the camera. It is then that the switch is flipped. That moment is the reason I do what I do. “Our insecurities hold us back. The media isn’t telling us to feel good about ourselves — often, it’s telling us the exact opposite. But all of that is wiped away when you look at yourself and see how beautiful you are. When you feel good about yourself, you carry yourself differently — and you make better choices. It’s a choice you make every day to accept every inch of yourself,” says Ochoa. Ochoa describes self-love as “choosing to love and accept yourself unconditionally, and never allowing your self-worth to be compromised or dictated by external factors.” Having experienced physical and sexual abuse, homelessness and poverty in her own life, Ochoa has made it her life’s work to uplift other women by nurturing their confidence and self-worth. “I spent a lot of years feeling like a dented can. I had a rough childhood. When I started dressing in this retro style, I began to feel more confident and I wanted to share that feeling with other women. I was given the gift of positivity – the gift of being artistic. I can’t even describe the benefits that have come into my life through this business.”

ALEXIS ASBE Life Coach, Author, Blogger and Gatherer of Women with A Brave Love Tribe “As women, we work really hard. But just because we can doesn’t mean that we should,” says Alexis Asbe, a local entrepreneur who has turned her passion for women’s success and personal development into a multifaceted business. Asbe moved to Redding in 2005 with her husband, Kelly, and her family after having owned and sold a successful business in the Bay Area that specialized in wedding planning and hospitality. Asbe’s life shifted when she ended up with a life-threatening illness that was the result of overworking herself. “I basically burned myself out. I was living in complete disregard for my body and the way I was feeling. I knew something wasn’t working. I wasn’t supposed always be tired and stressed out. I was supposed to be floating – swimming gracefully.” That major health scare motivated Asbe to work toward taking care of herself – and encouraging other women to do the same: “Our society promotes a goharder, go-faster, do-more mentality. But when we do that, we are not really living in a fully embodied way. Women are on the path to destruction in their pursuit of this workaholic mentality.” A s b e ’s heart and soul is in teaching women how to radically and fiercely love themselves and stand together through it all. Power circles are one of the primary modes of delivery for her quintessential message to women through her work at A Brave Love Tribe. These gatherings include women from all walks of life and highlight “the way of the feminine,” which includes collaboration, discernment and the importance of "seeking the highest good for everyone, not just ourselves." The power circles are an opportunity for women to learn to stand together, to acknowledge their differences while recognizing the beauty and strength in them, and to emphasize the importance of respecting another woman’s way of life without passing judgment. 4 continued on page 38

“At The Altar In Your Underwear,” Asbe’s witty guide to planning a wedding around your authenticity instead of according to “the shoulds”, is a powerful metaphor for being seen and being vulnerable. “It’s incredible to see women thrive in their femininity. We breathe life into things. Without that, we aren’t really serving the world — or ourselves — well,” says Asbe. A large part of being able to be the best version of ourselves comes from recognizing the value in self-love. According to Asbe, “self-care is self-love in action. It’s the act of nurturing, listening to and learning from yourself.” Self-care “will change the world. There is nothing more powerful than a body of women who stand together and want something to change.” HEATHER PHILLIPS Owner of Little Sprouts Micro-Farm “The most inspirational thing that anyone can do is live an authentic life,” says Heather Phillips, owner of Little Sprouts Micro-Farm. This family-run business that specializes in growing 10 different microgreens, including arugula, cilantro, chives and sunflower shoots, was established in November 2015. While her husband, Rick, is responsible for sales, Phillips prefers to work behind the scenes to bring fresh, quality micro-greens to several popular local restaurants, which “has been the backbone of being able to have consistent production.” CR Gibbs, View 202, Market Street Steakhouse, Country Organics, Roots Juice Bar and Sweetspot, all based in Redding, have helped turned one family’s need for balance into a thriving local business. As a professional American Sign Language interpreter in what Heather calls her “first lifetime,” she found it difficult to juggle an on-call profession with the demands of her husband’s real estate business. “It was time to be called back to the earth. I was sick of not seeing my husband ever. I was feeling like what was next for me wasn’t raising our kids on my own. It was time to live my life with the person I chose rather than having him be away to make money to pay for a house he couldn’t enjoy,” says Phillips. “We are not particularly excellent at gardening, but we keep trying,” Phillips says, with refreshing honesty. The couple isn’t
Self-love: (n) regard for one’s own wellbeing and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than narcissistic characteristic). after perfection. Instead, they function with the belief that “food brings people together.” They see this business as a bridge to creating a local sense of community, an opportunity to develop a network of like-minded individuals, and a way of sharing resources — a kind of food collaborative. Their boys, Xander, 7, and Brendan, 2, are already learning how important it is to work together. Xander helps by washing trays and playing with his baby brother. Brendan does his part by showing the baby plants a bit of love each day. For September’s new moon — and for every new moon since — Phillips has invited a group of women together to discuss the history of women, matriarchy, sisterhood and goddess magic. “Everyone who comes feels the need to be here,” says Phillips. “Self-love is different for each person. It means being keenly aware of your needs at that moment, and abiding by them. If your cup isn’t full, you don’t have anything to give anyone. “I can say inspirational things, but if I am not living them, that’s not good. Be the example. Don’t make people feel badly about where they are. Be an encouragement to others instead of being an overwhelming presence of greatness. Passion can be found in the still moments. It’s when you are most uncomfortable that you find yourself.” •

WHAT GARY BAUER DOES TO CLEAN YOUR ORIENTAL RUG
1. Rugs are first completely immersed in cold, soft water, one rug at a time.
2. After fibers have taken in as much water as possible, the rug is gently agitated with neutral detergent. 4. Rugs are then hand brushed and groomed to restore natural pile lay. Then they are dried hanging, with heat, air movement and dehumidification in our humidity controlled drying room. Once completely dry, the fringe is specially cleaned and fluffed to restore brightness and beauty. Once totally cleaned, dried and ready for delivery or pick up, we can treat with Micro Seal.
3. Rugs are raised from the wash pit and then rinsed with fresh water.

one st op shop A NEW MAKER S PA C E I N R E D D I N G
RAY MAGUIRE DESCRIBES himself as a middle-aged nerd, a lover of technology and learning who was looking for the necessary equipment to finish building a 3D printer when he discovered OneShop—a new Maker Space—was opening in Redding. “After using Tyler’s 3D printer, I realized some of my design was flawed,” says Maguire, who abandoned printer construction in favor of metal casting. “It was great handson experience. It taught me what I was doing wrong.” Maguire is referring to Tyler Hendrickson, an architect specializing in building information modeling who also has a building background. Sort of an architect-by-day, maker-by-night, Hendrickson says OneShop lets him leverage his passions. Launched last October for DIYers like Maguire, Hendrickson created OneShop as a place where people can bring their ideas to reality. “We have furniture makers, engineers, hobbyists, craftspeople,” he says, “All of them have access to our software, equipment and physical space for each phase of the design process.” In November, Hendrickson and his staff exhibited at the
inaugural Shasta County Mini-Maker Faire at the Redding Civic Auditorium, an event that drew 100 Makers and close to 3,000 attendees. Technology-influenced DIY communities, like OneShop, have been on the rise since the launch of MAKE Magazine in 2005, and are part of a growing Maker Movement, one that is producing innovation in multiple markets, including manufacturing, engineering and industrial design as maker ingenuity meets technological advance. When Hendrickson started OneShop, he thought only architects, builders and engineers would be interested until he began talking to small businesses. “A couple of them came to us to prototype their projects,” he says, “which led us to the Shasta Economic Development Corporation and the Venture Hub.” Soon, larger businesses were coming to OneShop for signage and Hendrickson’s design skills. Schools interested in having their students learn about digital fabrication followed. Even casual conversations led him to hobbyists interested in a local solution rather than costly repair or parts replacement by mail.4 continued on page 42

Matt Clark contacted Hendrickson after a buddy told him about OneShop. “We are in the middle of designing a whole new line of furniture,” says Clark, owner of Matt’s Woodworks. “I am able to take it to the next level with Tyler’s equipment, something no one else has available in the North State for immediate access.” Clark likes the hours (“I can even take my clients in and show them the build process,” he says) and access to Hendrickson if he requires design assistance. “I’m most excited about being able to collaborate with him,” says Clark. “I tell him what I want and he can make it happen. He’s an amazing guy.” Hendrickson has thoughtfully configured his shop space. “We have a member-only art studio, the first step in the design process,” he says. “Our members use the computers and software to digitize their designs before moving into reprographics and editing. Finally, makers use the equipment and wood shop to prototype their designs.” A lounge area/conference room invites makers into discussion about their projects and
among the cool tools members will find are a new laser cutter that works with virtually anything—leather, glass, wood, and even chocolate. “You can cut it out to the precision of a single hair on your head,” says Hendrickson. (Not something one can find just anywhere.) Members can also use the 3-axis and 5-axis routers to create 2D and 3D objects (“Not with the same precision as the laser cutter,” says Hendrickson, “but still respectable”). The routers cut through material ranging from wood and aluminum to wax and foam. Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM),

Computer Aided Design (CAD) and G-code (all required for 3D printing, which OneShop also makes available) allow makers to fully render their designs. Wood and metal workers can use water cutters, lathes and welding equipment, and the art studio boasts a variety of mediums. “We add tools and equipment as we have the demand,” says Hendrickson. Members ($100 per month) and non-members alike can take classes, some of which are taught by members in exchange for a membership discount. Youths between 14-18 can use all of the equipment while those 13 and under are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For Maguire, the new proprietor of Mac’s Metal Casting, the Redding maker space represents more than a place to design and make molds for his castings. “Without OneShop,” he says, “I would not have opened my own business.” •

K AT I E F R I T Z K E ’ S M U S I C A L G I F T THE MOUNTAINS RISING in the north of California are full of dreams. Like a musical tune, they drift into the hearts of those living there. Homes are built. Families grow. And little girls dream of stages and orchestras and faraway lands. Such visions filled young Katie Fritzke. Fritzke’s musical career began and ended in church. Her chance to do a rousing solo came as a young child when asked to sing The Bible Song. She had to spell out the word Bible in a verse, “The B-i-b-l-e.” But stage fright robbed her of the spelling and she exchanged singing for running. “I didn’t exactly give up singing. My mom and my grandpa were both singers,” Fritzke says. “My mom was always pulling me into singing. But I knew my dream of singing as a career was over.” High school brought opportunities. Fritzke joined Greg Eastman’s Mount Shasta High School choir. Roger Emerson, the top high school choral writer in the country, took notice and helped mentor her, but her childhood experience haunted her. She joined the running team and began to excel, capturing medals. Forced to choose between singing at a concert and a race, Fritzke chose the race. Emerson cautioned her about her choices, telling her, “Skip running, your future is in music.” Fritzke continued running through college. Singing faded away as a memory. Her running career began to take off, until an injury brought those hopes to an end. “At 23, I moved to Santa Barbara, where I worked at a retirement home as a memory care coordinator,” Fritzke says. “I thought singing was far behind me until a lady named Gem came one day and introduced singing therapy to the people there.” Fritzke sang harmony along with everyone and Gem asked for her contact information. The woman called and asked Fritzke to join her in listening her daughter, Lois Mahalia, sing. 4 continued on page 48

“I went to hear her and then she asked me to come up and sing with her,” Fritzke says. “I still had stage fright, but I found myself singing jazz harmonies on stage with her for two hours, with every song I knew.” For the next year, Mahalia and Fritzke sang together at the prestigious Biltmore Hotel in Santa Barbara every Friday night. More gigs presented themselves. There were background vocals on a Kenny Loggins record. Then Mahalia was invited to Italy and asked Fritzke to come along. Fritzke’s dreams became a February trip to another country. “Lois wanted to do the tour. It felt glamorous. We did several gigs, including one right on the water at the Hotel Bauer Palazzo in Venice,” Fritzke says. “I ate so much pasta on the trip.” Fritzke continues to sing. In her spare time, she sings with producer and artist Brian Mann. She is writing her own songs, looking for a writing partner. “I enjoy music, the gigs and singing jazz standards. Jazz lyrics just create romantic pictures with their words. “I don’t feel like I’ve found a career yet, but music is a gift from God. Every time I think I’ve had enough of singing, another opportunity comes up,” Fritzke says. “I’m even singing at church again.” Her dreams continue. She is exploring doing voice-over work and is looking at making a demo, while learning to play the ukulele for the residents at her work. “I’m grateful for my running injury,” Fritzke says. It forced me to look at life differently. Coming from a small town, you don’t always think of dreaming big. You don’t have to be famous. My dreams are big enough to conjure up what is happening in my life now and doing all that I enjoy.” • www.katiefritzke.com

“Music is the language of emotion, crafted as an attempt to reveal what cannot be expressed through words. Music melts away those barriers we erect between each other and even within ourselves. Music is the key to connecting with those around us, throwing aside typical limits. I’m so thankful I am able to be a part of such a powerful language.” –Katie Fritzke 48

LARGER THAN LIFE I N N O VAT I V E I N V E N TO R B I L L E M E R S O N
AS BILL EMERSON RATTLES OFF THE SPECS of his custom made super cars—bulletproof bodies of titanium Kevlar and stainless steel, one-third the weight of a conventional car with eight times the horsepower, and seats designed to fit the body of the owner, as well as artificial intelligence designed to recognize approach of said owner — there’s a temptation to compare to something James Bond or Batman might drive. To which Emerson responds, “It’s beyond .007. This is real. If Tupac had this car, he’d still be alive.” Super cars are just the latest offering at Emerson Motorsports, a nondescript custom car company in south Redding where cars that are anything but common are created. Emerson’s reputation has been built on Cobra sports cars, of which he describes the original as “a ton of power and not a lot of weight. Very dangerous.” They are beautiful, though, and fun to drive with the right adjustments. “We refined the car,” he says, “built a lot more safety in it.” He started building Cobras in 1990 and now has a waiting list of two years. There’s only one Cobra builder that
has been at it longer than Emerson. “I’m restoring cars I built 20 years ago,” he says with a laugh. “I have people that collect my cars. They’re just waiting for me to die so they’ll be worth more.” Emerson’s cars have been so successful that he’s taken almost too many top awards at car shows. He now only competes in a select few, including the Sports Car Club of America Super Unlimited. Of the others, he says, “I wouldn’t say we’ve been banned, but we’ve been encouraged not to show up.” One of the first things one notices about Emerson cars is that they’re big. That’s because he estimates that about half his customers are former professional athletes. Football players, boxers. Big guys. “We build the entire car to fit the customer,” he says. “I don’t just stretch it. I expand the whole car.” He developed his own chassis and builds his own molds. “I’ve got some of the best engineers in the world helping me on these cars,” he adds. The result is a stellar safety record that keeps his customers alive, despite the staggering speeds his cars can reach. “We’ve been in4 continued on page 52

“IT’S BEYOND .007. THIS IS REAL. IF TUPAC HAD THIS CAR HE’D STILL BE ALIVE.” business 32 years and we’ve never had anyone die in one of our cars,” he says. “We’re the only Cobra maker that can say that. We’ve had some horrific crashes, but no one has died, because of the amount of safety we’ve put into it.” “We’re trying to build a better car,” he says, “We’re not trying to copy the original. We build a safer, faster, better car.” Emerson is quick to acknowledge the team of world-renowned engineers who support his work. His shop has become a meeting place for some of the automotive world’s most talented. What Emerson brings is something completely unique: a brain that can conceptualize every part of a car functioning at once. “I’m a severe dyslexic,” he says. “I can hardly spell my name. But I hold many objects at one time in my head and manipulate them. Being my brain works the way it does, I can conceptualize trouble spots.” Born and raised in Redding, Emerson says his early education involved “a lot of special classes.” While he struggled with reading, he discovered a talent with taking objects apart and putting them back together again. Then, he says, “I started building my own stuff. Dyslexics have gifts along with the detractors. I’ve taken those gifts.” With a mind that won’t shut down — “I’m a hopeless insomniac and I stay up at night and study technology,” he says — he’s built many, many things. Just in time for Christmas, he came out with Cobra Tongs, hefty two-pound tongs with hooks like cobra teeth designed for big, strong men to flip large hunks of meat at the grill. “If you’ve got a 300-pound chef who likes to barbecue, there’s nothing much cooler than that,” he says, flipping the tongs open and closed. His shop is heated by a Hybrid Rocket Stove for which he’s awaiting patent and federal approval to sell to the public. It burns tires and trash with zero emissions and is expected to sell well in the overseas market. He’s also developed a stand-alone solar generator. With a business partner, he also imports vodka from Ukraine which sells in 40 stores around California and Oregon. “I’m still doing this for fun,” says Emerson, noting that although his super cars have a price tag over $1 million, they take months to build by hand, thereby rendering his hourly wage at less than minimum. “If it’s not fun, I don’t do it.” • www.emersonmotorsports.com

REVISITING ROCKIN’ RON AND METEOR MUSIC The coolest record store in California is not in Berkeley, San Francisco or Los Angeles. It’s in Anderson, California. Really! It’s Meteor Music on East Center Street. When Enjoy Magazine last visited Rockin’ Ron Sullivan’s used record store, the doors to his new business had just opened and vinyl record sales were at rock bottom. Today, there is a great resurgence of interest in vinyl, and Meteor Music is rockin’ hard. Ron and his son, Mark Sullivan, have doubled the inventory and the size of the store. We caught up with Ron at his recently expanded store recently, and I had a few questions for him.
ENJOY: Do you have any of your first records? RON: I have every one! I have 25,000 45s in my personal collection. ENJOY: Who’s buying vinyl? RON: Eighty percent of our customers are between the ages of 18 and 30, and they’re buying rock ‘n’ roll from the ‘50s through the ‘80s. Iron Maiden is hot right now. So is Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, McCartney, the White Stripes. Anything you see in here with its own section sells well. ENJOY: In this age of convenient digital downloads, why vinyl? RON: Number one is the sound. It’s just so much better than digital or CD. Number two is collectibility. And number three is the artwork on album covers. That’s big. You can’t put a picture on an iTunes download.
ENJOY: Ron, how many records do you have in stock at any given time? RON: Between the store and storage, I have approximately 250,000. ENJOY: Whoa! That’s a quarter of a million records! How did you get started? RON: My dad turned me on to music when I was growing up in Alhambra in Southern California - Big Band music. It was all music pre-Elvis. Then Elvis came along and opened things up. He made rhythm and blues and country music accessible to everyone. I was hooked. ENJOY: What was the first record you ever purchased? RON: “In the Mood” by Glenn Miller. Then I bought “Riot in Cellblock #9” by The Robins, who became The Coasters.
ENJOY: If you were stranded on a desert and were limited to five albums, what would they be? RON: I’d have records from Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Elvis when he was on Sun Records, Benny Goodman’s Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert and the first album from The Palladins. Rockin’ Ron has been married to his wife Pat for 50 years. They live in Old Shasta. Find Rockin’ Ron at Meteor Music, 2927 East Center Street in Anderson. Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television, and marketing since age 16. He is married, has three children, and contributes his energy and time to Redding Recreation. You can hear him on the Billy and Patrick Show weekday mornings on Q97.

E N J OY I N G T H E C R E AT I V E CHALLENGE WITH H E AT H E R V I N E
THERE’S A FEAR young professionals can experience when consciously moving to the North State to establish their careers and families. Will they be supported? Heather Vine admits she felt that when deciding to leave her home town of Portland, Ore., to marry Joe Vine, owner of the Copy Center in Red Bluff. It had only taken a long weekend on Lake Shasta, where she met Joe, to know they'd end up married. The deal was solidified when they traveled successfully for five weeks in Africa, travel being a passion of Heather's that she wants to continue throughout her life. But how would Red Bluff treat a designer with a degree from Pacific Northwest College of Art? She'd sniffed around to find a community of designers and came up empty back in 2007. She expressed her concerns to an instructor at the college: “I said I don't know what I'm going to design there because I don't know if they have any designers,” she muses. The instructor flipped the idea for her. “What aren't you going to design?” she asked. The possibilities are endless if you're the only one doing what you're doing.4 continued on page 58

“I’ve always known I was going to be an artist,” she says. “I can’t think of a day in my life when I didn’t want to be an artist.” The idea of not making a living as an artist, she says, “was never an option for me.”
Ten years later, Heather is having a very high arc in her career and credits living in Red Bluff as a major determinant in her success rather than a detraction. “I know I wouldn't have become a business owner had I stayed in Portland,” she says. “I would have been afraid.” Deciding to establish herself as a freelance designer has allowed her to work from home, where she and Joe are raising two girls, and to take big chances pitching work to companies as diverse as Dignity Health, Sierra Nevada Brewery and Cowboy Candy Beef Jerky. And then there's Santana. Carlos Santana. Vine created the album art and merchandise designs for the Santana IV album and is busy at work on Santana V. The project itself took eight hours a day for four months to complete, which doesn't include all of the time up front just preparing artwork when the opportunity arrived to pitch a job to the musician. Walking into Santana's San Rafael office, where all of his album covers are framed and hung on the wall, and noticing her own art laid out on the table was a moment of intensity, she says. Santana was impressed. He liked the heavy symbolism in Vine's designs. He liked her. He said yes to her as the designer. “And then we got in Carlos' Porsche and drove to Sausalito to get tacos,” she says. Four hours after the pitch, Vine saw Santana take a call and her artwork was already programmed as the screen saver of his cell phone. Vine has since enjoyed the creative challenges of designing for such a soulful, creative and prolific artist. Her work encompasses not only album art, which needs to be customized for every format — CDs, vinyl, etc. — but tour merchandise such as T-shirts and posters. While she laughs at the truth of her professor's prediction that there won't be much she won't design, Vine wouldn't have it any other way. “I've always known I was going to be an artist,” she says. “I can't think of a day in my life when I didn't want to be an artist.” The idea of not making a living as an artist, “was never an option for me.”

Which isn't to say that the success came easily or that her early education was fun. As a child with learning disabilities, she says, “Art is the only reason I stayed in school. It's the reason I stayed in high school, it's the reason I went to college. It's what I breathe, it's who I am. “School didn't come easily to me, but I also have determination,” she adds, noting that it's a motivation to volunteer once a week at the Makerspace in Tehama County's Juvenile Justice Center. There she teaches Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as Tinkercad, a software that allows design modeling for 3D printers, “and anything they feel like they want to learn that day.” Vine's influence shows the young students that there are possibilities for meaningful creation that can translate to job opportunities. Along with the artistic elements of each program, Vine believes it's just as important to teach the business side of living as a Creative. “I never had a freelance class in college,” she says. “I had to learn to bill.” There's also the core concept that “I have to make people feel and I have to sell.” Today, Vine is one of Tehama County's biggest cheerleaders, noting how small communities encourage entrepreneurship and collaboration over competition. She's also proudly watched other young designers and photographers establish themselves, creating that community of designers that once was missing. Musing on her success, she indulges in the fact that the work with Santana is a legacy project. She's given credit on the album and smiles in awe as she says, “Nothing I've ever done before has had so many people's eyes on it.” • www.heathervine.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

Aroma Therapy THE MANY BENEFITS OF ESSENTIAL OILS
ESSENTIAL OILS, or aromatic oils as they were once called, are gaining worldwide recognition for their versatility, but they are not new. They have been used by many cultures around the world for centuries. An essential oil is a naturally produced liquid obtained from the roots, flowers, fruit, bark, stems and other elements of a botanical, and their use as healing agents has been a longstanding practice throughout human history. Lately there is a renaissance of essential oils, as people realize there is more to these wonders than simply a home fragrance. Today's cosmetics market is oriented toward health, wellness and anti-aging. When buying beauty products,
people are now looking for more than just a pretty shade of lipstick; they want cosmetics that have a greater purpose, whether to improve their skin or help with relaxation. Ethical shopping is also a growing trend, as more people look to sustainable products, and the pioneers of aromatherapy are to thank for that. There are many benefits to using essential oils: to boost mood and emotional health, as well as immune system; relieve stress and anxiety; enhance digestive function; soothe minor burns, scrapes and sunburn; provide pain relief for joints and sore muscles; and encourage youthful skin and hair.4 continued on page 64

You can use essential oils in many different ways. AROMATICALLY. Inhaling oils is one of the easiest ways to enjoy therapeutic benefits. Either diffuse or rub into palms and breathe deeply. INTERNALLY. With proper use, consuming oils can assist in many ways, from balancing metabolism to supporting organ function. Be sure to carefully research each oil before ingesting. TOPICALLY. Once applied, the oil passes quickly into the surrounding tissues and bloodstream, allowing for quick relief and benefits. Oils can be used for anything that ails you: ease tension and stress, soothe sore muscles, aid in digestion, promote circulation and respiratory function, increase energy, purify mind and support healthy hair and skin. Although there is a plethora of oils, here is a breakdown of some of the most common. The best essential oils for maintaining healthy skin: geranium, frankincense, ylang ylang, lemongrass, tea tree, lavender and chamomile. For soothing stress and tension, and adding an overall relaxing environment: balsam fir, bergamot, cinnamon, eucalyptus, grapefruit, patchouli, chamomile, lavender and vetiver. For easing sore muscles: fennel, helichrysum, clove, eucalyptus, lemongrass, nutmeg and peppermint. To aid in normal digestive/intestinal function: patchouli, tangerine, sweet fennel, juniper, copaiba, coriander, ginger and bergamot. To support respiratory health: black pepper, clary sage, eucalyptus, peppermint and marjoram. For centuries, people from all over the planet have used essential oils to maintain health and treat various ailments and conditions. These botanical extracts can be used in a variety of ways, but as with all concentrated ingredients, be sure to learn which oils can and cannot be used in their undiluted form, especially if you plan to put the oil into your water or food. You can find these oils in many local businesses and nutrition stores. They range in price depending on the formula. So choose your favorite fragrance, take a deep breath, and‌happy wellness! •

ALE to the CHIEF S I E R R A N E VA DA B R E W I N G C O M PA N Y ’ S K E N G R O S S M A N IT’S A RAGS-TO-RICHES STORY that would make Horatio Alger blush: Ken Grossman, an avid hiker and cyclist who enjoyed brewing his own beer in his adopted hometown of Chico, cobbled together some meager finances, repurposed some stainless steel tanks salvaged from a dairy and launched the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. It was 1980 and, outside a few circles of dedicated homebrewers, handcrafted beer wasn’t a “thing.” There were fewer than 50 independent breweries in the country at the time and they tended to emulate the corporate behemoths and their homogenous lagers that populated supermarket shelves and were the subject of huge advertising campaigns (i.e. Clydesdales). Grossman’s first offering from that 10-barrel system was an American stout, which Sierra Nevada continues to produce today, but next in line was Pale Ale, the beer that introduced the aromatic world of whole-cone Cascade hops and revolutionized the craft beer industry. From that humble beginning 36 years ago, Sierra Nevada has grown in dramatic leaps to become the country’s thirdlargest craft brewery and an industry leader in sustainable practices. The Chico facility now has both a 100-barrel and a 200-barrel system. (A barrel equals two 15.5-gallon kegs.)
Grossman, 62, did not single-handedly invent craft brewing — fellow pioneers include Fritz Maytag, Jack McAuliffe, Charlie Papazian and Fred Eckhardt — nor is he seeking credit for it, but within the industry his signature Pale Ale is credited with creating a market for hop-forward ales. Tony Magee, the founder of Lagunitas Brewing Co., says Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale is the beer that prompted him to become a brewer. The tidal wave that Grossman helped launch continues to roll, with craft beer accounting for 12 percent of the $105.9 billion in U.S. beer sales in 2015, notes the Brewers Association, a craft beer trade group. There were 4,269 craft brewers in that year that produced 24 million barrels of beer. California, not surprisingly, leads the nation in craft breweries with 518 (up from 270 breweries in 2011). Craft brewers in the Golden State produced 3.8 million barrels in 2015, or enough for 4.3 gallons for every adult of drinking age. Pale Ale continues as Sierra Nevada’s flagship beer and it accounts for half — or about 425,000 barrels—of the Chico brewery’s production. Other styles include Torpedo Extra IPA, Otra Vez, Porter, Nooner Pilsner, Kellerweis and Hop Hunter IPA. Seasonal offerings, like Celebration, Summerfest and Oktoberfest, show up periodically.4 continued on page 68

The brewers and fermentation scientists at Sierra Nevada are constantly on the lookout for new styles and techniques, and they are more than happy to share that wealth of knowledge when they can by collaborating with regional brewers and hobbyists. “We’re all kind of in it together and we all want to see great beer,” says Tyler Rollins, Sierra Nevada’s interim social media coordinator. “We come from an industry where collaborations are something that make for a better craft beer scene all around.” One example occurred last summer during Redding’s Beer Week when Sierra Nevada’s Abe Kabakoff joined forces with Clay Brackley, the head brewer at Fall River Brewing, to brew a batch of Bumpass Hell Ale. Named after the bubbling geothermal area at Lassen Volcanic National Park, the ale benefitted from the addition of pureed apricots as a late-stage flavoring agent that produced slightly tart, slightly sour and extremely popular ale that was sold out within 90 minutes at a release party at Shameless O’Leery’s in downtown Redding. Sierra Nevada is not just a stalwart in the craft beer world. Thanks to its commitment to the environment, as evident in its recycling and solar power programs and other sustainable practices, Sierra Nevada has been recognized on local, regional and national levels for reducing its impact on the environment. Its new brewery in Mills River, N.C., which opened in 2015, recently became the first brewery to be LEED certified Platinum. LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized rating system for the design and construction of environmentally responsible buildings. With the craft beer epicenter conveniently located in the North State, it’s an easy and rewarding experience to take a guided tour of Sierra Nevada, and not just because it includes a complimentary tasting at the end. • Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. 1075 E. 20th St., Chico www.sierranevada.com (530) 893-3520 Reservations required for guided tours; book online or call (530) 899-4776 for details

MODERN SOUL | BY PHIL RESER SHOWTIME | BY PHIL RESER
Multinational Melodies T H E N I L E P R O J E C T CO M E S TO C H I CO ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will live in areas plagued by water scarcity, with two-thirds of the world’s population living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth and climate change. The Nile is the longest river in the world, and the 11 African nations through which it flows are home to some of the world’s oldest cultures. Over many millennia, the reliable seasonal flow and overflow of the Nile has allowed farmers to produce grains and other crops that sustain those living in deserts well beyond the Nile. Without its waters, the most downstream of those nations, Egypt, is a barren desert. So when in 2011, Ethiopia began to build a giant hydroelectric dam across the river’s largest tributary, the Blue Nile, it looked like Egypt might carry out its long-standing threat to go to war to protect its lifeline. As the eyes of the world gazed upon this struggle, two San Franciscobased East Africans, Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and his friend, Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero, began to collaborate on a plan to create a project that would bring musicians together from all the countries physically connected to the river. They
also aimed to use the traditional musical styles of the Nile region to create a participatory, transboundary culture that reflects the cultural richness of its nations and would empower its members to protect the Nile’s ecosystems. Now working as the collective’s executive director, Girgis says, “For me, the connection was the Nile. It’s a river. It’s an organism made of 437 million people, 11 countries, some of the poorest in the world. Our work began by getting these musicians to start working together in small groups, two people, three people at a time, to develop ways where they can combine their modal and rhythmic systems.” Next, they focused on simple musical ideas, and that process grew into the Nile Project ensemble. “At that point, the entire collective comes together with their instruments and vocal styles differing in tone, pitch and rhythm,” Girgis says. “Sudanese harps joined with Kenyan kettle drums while Ethiopian violins played beside Burundian thumb pianos and Egyptian flutes. It really is a school for musicians from all the Nile countries. The Egyptians learned polyrhythms from Uganda. The Ugandans learned the maqam system (a set of ornamented musical scales) from Egypt. Everybody started exchanging musical traditions and understandings.”4 continued on page 72

“Music speaks louder than words.” ~ African Proverb
there is a moment when communication can shift the discussion in a crucial way. What happens among a diverse group of musicians on stage, the give and take within a composition, the attentive listening, the mutual support, suggests other modes of interaction to audience members. It’s a blueprint for what’s possible, outside of the concert venue.” Since its inception five years ago, the Nile Project has toured Africa, Europe, the United States and the the United Arab Emirates, attracting more than 60,000 people to its concerts to date. Currently, 13 Nile Project artists from seven Nile Basin countries have returned to the United States for a second tour, which includes performing live concerts and holding workshops in 23 different cities across 14 states. While here, the collective is celebrating the release of its second album, “Jinja,” having garnered critical acclaim from the release of its inaugural album, “Aswan,” in 2013. • The Nile Project Sunday, February 19 Laxson Auditorium, Chico State University www.csuchico.edu/upe/performance/artists/the-nile-project.php

The Nile Project has developed into a powerful pan-Nile percussion section that drives this orchestra of Ethiopian masenko (singlestringed bowed lute), saxophone, Egyptian ney (end-blown flute), oud (pear-shaped, lute-like stringed instrument), violin, simsimiyya (plucked lyre), tanbura (long-necked stringed instrument), Ugandan adungu (arched harp), bass guitar and vocalists singing in almost a dozen languages. There are no band leaders in the group. Everyone contributes with his or her own cultural imprint to create a cross-pollination of diversity. This diversity takes center stage when you take into account not only the different languages being used in song, but the variety of instruments on stage at any given time. Says Girgis, “Listening first to music, and then to people you once believed were strangers or adversaries can move the needle toward calm in potential conflict situations. Before tension erupts into violence,

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400F. Using a fork, prick the potatoes a few times. Place on a baking sheet and bake 1 hour or until tender.
STEP 6: Season the inside of the potato skins with salt and pepper, fill with a scoop of the mashed potatoes, top with some of the chicken and sprinkle on the cheeses.
STEP 2: Remove from oven and allow to cool, about 15 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out the potato, leaving only the skin.
STEP 7: Broil until the cheese has melted, just a few minutes.
STEP 3: To the scooped out potatoes, add 1 T melted butter and mash into potatoes until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
STEP 8: Serve while still warm, garnished with green onions and with some blue cheese dressing for your dipping pleasure.
STEP 4: Preheat oven to 450. While the oven heats, coat the potato skins all over with the oil and bake for 10 minutes on each side.

Direct from its debut in Sacramento last year, the Theatre on the Ridge presents Northern California playwright Gary Wright’s hysterical historical account of America’s revolution through the eyes of Benjamin Franklin’s landlady and confidant, Polly Stevenson. The play transcends three decades and three countries. While Ben works to create a new independent America, three generations of Franklins depend on the irrepressible Polly to hold them together while their world is torn apart.
