Summer is in the rear-view mirror, school is back in full swing, and we’re looking forward to the cooler, crisper days of fall.

You’ll be tickled by the delightful Boyle sisters, the young fiddle-players who make up the HappBee Band. “We like to make people happy with our music,” explains 12-year-old Clara.

A rising tide lifts all boats, and the Prosperity Initiative is attempting to do just that. This effort seeks to help reduce poverty in our community by increasing financial stability, CALEB & TURNER improving workforce readiness and supporting youth WALTON development. The goal? Improve the quality of life for all.

by Betsey Walton Photography We’re incredibly inspired by Randy and Paula Cardoza, who Boys’ clothing from spearheaded a Make-A-Wish team in Siskiyou County, making Sugarplum Cottage dreams come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Remember Batkid, for whom San Francisco was transformed into Gotham City for a day? They’re the duo who lit that spark.

If you can squeeze one more trip to the coast into your schedule, check out Castle Rock. A half-mile off the coast of Crescent City, this fascinating spot is a refuge to the North American murre – the northern hemisphere’s equivalent of the penguin.

Then, venture out to the Harvest Festival at Whiskeytown on Sept. 16 to celebrate the pioneer orchards, where some trees have been producing fruit for more than a century.

Happy autumn, and enjoy Northern California living!

W H I S K E Y TOW N H I S TO R I C A P P L E O R C H A R D

GNARLED FRUIT TREES at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area are rooted to its Gold Rush past — the era when a popular stage stop stood near what is now Highway 299 west of Redding.

Tower House Hotel was a welcome landing spot — a pleasant contrast to “the depressing effects of the great heat of the valley,” noted a patron in an August 1855 edition of the Shasta Courier. He described it “as one of the most delightful places in this State.”

The hotel had a reputation for hospitality and agricultural abundance — flowers, vegetables and fruits. Orchards produced apples, pears, peaches, figs, cherries and more.

Pears weighing four pounds apiece and hefty peaches were acclaimed in the press.

The three-story hotel is long gone (destroyed by fire in 1919), but remnants of the orchards live on. Some 120 trees — mostly apples but a few pear, quince and others — remain from hundreds planted in the mid-1800s into the 1930s. They survived on minimal care for decades, toughing out searing summers, bears breaking branches, fire blight and other woes. Several apple trees are close to 150 years old and still put out fruit.

One “is just hanging on by a thread … hollowed out and leaning, but so productive,” says Whiskeytown Chief of Interpretation and Resources Management Jennifer Gibson. “It’s amazing to me.”

Whiskeytown’s annual Harvest Festival on Sept. 16 celebrates the pioneer orchards. Other National Park Service sites have historic orchards too, but Whiskeytown is unique in having such old trees, according to Susan Dolan, National Park Service Cultural Landscapes Program manager.

“The oldest (at Whiskeytown) date to the mid-1800s, which is exceptional for fruit trees surviving within the national parks,” says Dolan, author of “Fruitful Legacy: A Historic Context of Orchards in the United States.”

Pioneer orchards are a window into early horticulture. In the 1800s, more than 6,000 apple varieties were grown in the nation, Dolan says. Apples came in a range of colors, sizes, shapes, tastes and ripened at different times.

Tower House proprietor Levi Tower experimented with fruit varieties. He procured cultivars from Oregon nurseries and brought varieties to Shasta County by way of the Isthmus of Panama at a high cost. Charles Camden did4

his share of fruit-tree planting, too. Tower and Camden were friends, mining partners and brothers-in-law. Camden married Tower’s sister Philena and their home still stands in the Tower House Historic District.

Trees from the stage stop’s glory days no longer look glorious. Many survivors are stunted and brittle with hollow trunks. But efforts are underway to help the old trees. Slow, precise, restorative pruning during the past 15 years has removed damaged, decayed branches and encouraged new growth. Competing berry vines and other weeds near the trees have been cut back.

“We’ve made monumental strides,” Gibson says. “It’s a long-term process to get a wild and woolly tree to good condition.”

Redding-area arborist Rico Montenegro consults with Whiskeytown staff and has worked with volunteers to help the trees.

Some propagation of orchard oldsters has been done. Apple cultivars are reproduced from grafted cuttings rather than seeds. Whiskeytown’s plans call for more grafting of old varieties to preserve the genetic legacy of the orchards.

The park is working with Lorine Brakken, a consultant in the Seattle area, to help identify which old apple varieties it has.

“I love puzzles. I love going out and seeing the trees,” Brakken says.

She considers color, flavor, size, shape, skin, seeds, stems, juiciness and crunch of apples in her detective work, as well as many other factors. There are lots of possibilities because so many apple varieties grew in pioneer times, she notes. Apples were used in different seasons for different reasons — baking, cider, vinegar, animal feed and eating out of hand.

“I’m learning what these heirloom varieties taste like,” Gibson says.

“Some are sweet; some are acidic.”

Chenango Strawberry Apple, with hints of strawberry flavor, is believed to be one of Whiskeytown’s varieties. Examples of others are Esopus Spitzenburg, reportedly a favorite of Thomas Jefferson, and Lady Apple, a tiny apple with a history going back to the 1600s that was popular for freshening breath and decorating wreaths and garlands.

“There are interesting stories and histories associated with each apple,” Gibson says.

The Harvest Festival is an opportunity to get a taste of Whiskeytown’s apple history. Visitors can sample slices of old varieties and can pick apples in the orchards.

“It’s fun to taste and enjoy these heirloom varieties,” Gibson says. • Harvest Festival • 10 am to 3 pm Sept. 16, Camden House grounds of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area Heirloom apple-tasting, tours of the orchards and Camden House, Gold Rush-period games, live music • www.nps.gov/whis Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding with a degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a long career in newspaper journalism.

I always knew I would go to Shasta College.

I was born and raised in Redding, and spent most of my youth playing sports. Upon graduation from Shasta High School, I had the opportunity to continue my basketball career for the Shasta College Knights under Coach Kele Fitzhugh. I guess you could say sports run in my family’s bloodline at Shasta College as my father, two uncles, and an aunt are all in the Shasta College Sports Hall of Fame. As Coach Fitzhugh helped prepare me for games on the hardwood court, Shasta College prepared me for the next step in my life. After a successful student-athlete run with the Knights, I transferred to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I received a degree in Business Finance and a minor in Construction Management.

Upon graduation from Cal Poly, I was hired on by the Pulte Group, a national home builder consisting of Pulte Homes, Del Webb, and Centex. After 11 successful years with Pulte in the construction management field, I made the decision to leave Southern California and move back to Redding with my family. I am currently President and Owner of Middleton Homes Corporation, as well as a licensed Realtor with House of Realty, Inc. As I’ve learned in the home building industry, a strong foundation is key to a great home. Shasta College was the strong foundation for me that paved the way to achieving not only my academic goals, but life goals.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN CERAMIC ART WITH VERONICA CARREL RED BLUFF ARTIST Veronica Carrel knows the value of a seemingly simple coffee mug. “It takes time to make a coffee cup because you have to build the cup and pull the handle,” she says. Everything has to dry very slowly over a course of days. There are glazes to be applied and firings to be done to complete the process.

The end result, though, is something she sees as important because it’s a vessel of comfort and perhaps nourishment.

“It’s something that you can use every day,” she says. “I like making cups because it’s a really personal thing that you can give to someone or choose for yourself.” As an artist who values unique expression, none of her cups are ever the same, though lately she’s fond of bold contrasting colors of black, orange and green. “It’s handmade and it’s unique, just like the person drinking out of it,” she says of her work.

The 30-year-old daughter of a German mother and American father, Carrel opened her studio, Queen V Arts and Design, with a potters’ wheel given to her by former teacher Jack Pratt in January 2016. The studio is in an industrial area of Red Bluff not far from Salisbury High School, a place she credits with helping her through a rough adolescence and where Pratt was a teacher. “I first took ceramics when I was in high school,” she says. “It was a nice refuge.”

Later, at Shasta College, a class canceled from her original schedule led her to try out noted North State artist Paul Rideout’s ceramics class. “I was his apprentice until about six years ago,” she says, speaking about the popular instructor who she regards as “a really great teacher, a mentor, a father figure, an artist.”4

When she “I’M AN ARTIST NO MATTER a story with my art,” she says. “There’s a deeper meaning to what I do.” met Rideout, he asked why she didn’t WHAT I DO OR WHERE I GO always Two of her pieces, Open-Hearted refer to herself as an artist. “I took his OR WHAT I TRY. IT’S THE WAY Buddha and Heartless Man, are the lead on that,” she says. “I’m an artist no matter what I do or where I go or what I YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS…” result of her ruminations on humanity and society in general, she says.

You have to solve problems. And you have to have a special way of piece, the Open-Hearted Buddha, is colorful with an open chest; it symbolizes “peace, prosperity, hope and calm.” By contrast, Heartless looking at things to solve those problems.”

In opening her studio, Carrel affirmed her childhood desire to follow Man is monotone, with an empty chest cavity and displays “deep a creative calling. Of the name, Queen V Arts and Designs, she says her lacerations, scars, closed eyes and a questioning look on his face.” It husband, heavy metal musician Chuck Wills, gave it to her when he was created at a time when Carrel was contemplating stories of world created an avatar for her to play video games with him. “It was a name violence and strife.

These pieces were recently displayed, along with her mugs, at Downtown Ale House in Red Bluff. She’s enjoyed hearing reactions to them. “Sometimes you make something and you see one thing in it and others see something else. With these, everyone seems to get it.”

Carrel has recently started the Master of Arts in Counseling program at National University and has set her sights on becoming a licensed practitioner in clinical counseling. “I’ll continue being an advocate for the arts and arts therapy,” she says.

Children, she says, “should be celebrated for thinking differently.” Whether at the studio or in a counseling center, Carrel will be doing her part. • Queen V Arts and Design • 1300 Vista Way, Red Bluff

S H A S TA C O U N T Y ’ S P R O S P E R I T Y I N I T I AT I V E

A NEW THREE-YEAR community Prosperity Initiative in Shasta County suggests we are stronger together than we are apart.

Launched in 2016 by the United Way of Northern California and the Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency, the Prosperity Initiative seeks to address the link between low income/low educational level and negative health outcomes.

“We were seeing disproportionate amounts of drug abuse, incarceration, sexual assault, and a higher incidence of child abuse and neglect,” says Larry Olmstead, executive director of United Way of Northern California.

“Many of these situations are caused or exacerbated by families in our community struggling to make ends meet,” Olmstead adds.

“Income and poverty influence many of these factors, and we wanted a community-wide program to address the components that stimulate these problems.”

According to the Department of Health Care Services, Medi-Cal enrollment in Shasta County has grown in the past three years to one out of every four residents. Children ages 5 and under represent 65 percent of that number.

The initiative focuses on three core areas: Increasing financial stability, improving workforce readiness and youth development.

INCREASING FINANCIAL STABILITY “With the help of more than 30 community leaders, we identified two primary strategies for increasing financial stability,” says Olmstead.

The first is “NorCal Bank On,” in which the banking community works with the larger community to assist those in need of financial literacy and savings accounts.

“We want to give people the tools to manage their family finances,” says Olmstead, “and steer them away from predatory payday lenders by giving them the ability to save money. Research suggests a quarter4 continued on page 22

Development director Jacob Peterson, Executive Director Larry Olmstead, and Communications & outreach specialist Christina Gutierrez SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

21

of our community is either without banking services or underbanked.”

Currently, the Redding Bank of Commerce, Tri Counties and US Bank are working with local nonprofit organizations on educational workshops that will allow participants to open bank accounts under somewhat easier terms to help them save money, says Olmstead.

The second strategy, a “Sparkpoint” resource center, features a onestop location where individuals can receive financial coaching along with other services like career counseling, professional development and training.

Sparkpoint centers in the Bay Area have shown an 80 percent client success rate, says Olmstead, who is optimistic that with funding and a community match, the project will launch in 2018.

IMPROVING WORKFORCE READINESS The North State Jobs Forum and basic skills training support the second Prosperity Project focus area.

The first Forum, a collaboration among the NorCal United Way, Shasta County and the SMART Center, occurred in March at Win River Casino. More than 100 attendees participated in interview coaching and critiques, wardrobe consultation and selection, and even haircuts. The next Forum is scheduled for this fall.

Training includes both “hard skills” (such as computation and typing) and “soft skills” (such as timeliness and communication).

Online courses are supplemented by workshop activities, and enrollees will earn a certificate of completion they can then share with prospective employers, Olmstead says.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Since Shasta County youth are particularly vulnerable, supporting their development and success represents a foundational plank of the Initiative.

In partnership with Catalyst Mentoring, Prosperity aims to recruit 1,000 adults to mentor community youth (to date, more than 100 mentors have signed on). “We have a lot of youth who would benefit from a stronger sense of direction and life/ career planning,” says Olmstead.

Catalyst’s role is to background check and train mentors who are then placed with nonprofit agencies serving youth, including the YMCA, Eagle’s Soar Youth Activity Center and several smaller organizations.

Olmstead emphasizes Catalyst, which is affiliated with the Stirring Church, serves only as a coordinator for the project.

22

www.EnjoyMagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2017

“There is separation between Catalyst on this project and the role of the church. There’s a strong commitment to remain nondenominational.”

Additionally, the Initiative increases the number and amount of grants for after-school youth programs; money is deposited into a designated Teen Fund.

The final element has been the design and development of an interactive website, a central hub for youth and youth engagement.

“We created the website and are beta testing it now,” says Olmstead, “but we want to make it hipper and more accessible to youth; we realized it looks like it was designed by older people.” The website rollout is expected by autumn.

Of the Initiative’s seven programs, Olmstead says six are currently underway and (as of June) the Initiative is a little more than halfway to the year one fundraising goal of $280,000.

“We would like to see each of these programs settle into the life blood of our community and become self-sustaining,” says Olmstead.

“Ultimately, it’s about answering the question: ‘Are we committed to expanding quality of life to all our residents with sustainable lives?’”• www.norcalunitedway.org/prosperity (530) 241-7521

Why? “We like to make people happy with our music,” says Clara, “and we like to have fun when we’re playing.” That explains the name the girls picked out: The HappBee Band, which includes a nod to mom’s beekeeping background.

It’s not hard to see where the girls’ love of music comes from. Boyle and her sisters, MaryAnn and Anna, were part of a fiddle band when they were young. As the Van Vleet Sisters, the trio performed at farmers markets, retirement homes, the Good News Rescue Mission and community events. They recorded a gospel album and traveled to Weiser, Idaho, to compete in the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest.4

The sisters formed the HappBee Band last summer and, following in the footsteps of their mother’s band, performed at retirement homes, private parties, the rescue mission and farmers markets.

“It was really special to me, the memory of playing together,” Boyle says, “so when I had three daughters, I thought, ‘Oh, they’re going to learn to play the fiddle.’” Each girl started playing at age 3 or 4, once they were able to hold a pint-sized violin.

Life in the Boyle household is far from a “Mommie Dearest”-style fiddle boot camp, however. All three girls have started piano and ukulele lessons (inspired by the late Chris Uchibori), Caite has been learning to play the guitar and they all spent the summer in a junior golf program at Gold Hills Golf Club.

Cora, 9, notes they all like to sew and model matching outfits when they perform.

During the school year in Cottonwood, the girls participate in musicals produced through the South Shasta County Youth Arts program. All three had roles in “Beauty and the Beast,” and Clara and Caite, the oldest two, also had parts in “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory” and “Peter Pan Jr.” The sisters formed the HappBee Band last summer and, following in the footsteps of their mother’s band, performed at retirement homes, private parties, the rescue mission and farmers markets. A highlight of their first summer together was an appearance at the Summer Mountain Music and Arts Festival at Cedar Crest Vineyards in Manton. The little fiddlers made a second appearance in July.

While fiddle tunes are their specialty, the girls say they enjoy a variety of musical styles.

Their tastes range from ’50s rock ‘n’ roll like “Rock Around the Clock” to show tunes like

“Edelweiss” from “The Sound of Music.”

Caite, 10, has a fondness for Frank Sinatra, and her older sister, Clara, counts fiddling and dancing dynamo Lindsey Stirling as her current favorite.

“I try to get them to practice three times a week,” Boyle says. “I love hearing them practice. It makes me happy.” Boyle, a lifelong musician who can be heard in the North State when she performs with multi-instrumentalist Morgan Hannaford in a duo known as Fiddle Bee, backs up her daughters when they perform but says the goal this year is to get them to the level of proficiency where “they can play together so mom can sit and watch.”

Boyle says the girls are encouraged to practice even more diligently when they see how much people appreciate their music.

Sometimes, that appreciation takes the form of tips. Boyle says the girls—showing the showbiz acumen of seasoned artists—saved up all their tip money last summer and they each were able to buy their own American Girl doll. • The HappBee Band is scheduled to perform at the Weaverville Farmers Market in Lowden Park from 3:30 to 6:30 pm Wednesday, Sept. 13.

| STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

N ORT H STAT E A RT I STS D ESC R I B E T HE A B STR ACT AS LEGEND GOES, several thousand years ago, a primitive man marked the stone wall of his home with the end of a charred stick, rendering a work of art that another cave dweller could not understand. “This doesn't look like anything at all!” she cried, the first mouthing of a critique abstract artists would have to withstand for all time.

With this declaration came an unspoken challenge: Describe it in words.

Eons later, three modern artists came together for a reception in their honor at the Siskiyou Arts Museum in Dunsmuir, where numerous examples of their work were hung.

The exhibit, “Expressions of the Abstract,” showcased paintings by McCloud expressionist Michael Wecksler, Mount Shasta impressionist fan Allen King and Cynthia Henderson of Dunsmuir. After the show, all three were asked to describe the abstract.

None of them could easily find the words Wecksler laughs. “Words describing art aren’t very helpful,” he says.4 continued on page 30

SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

29

“To me, abstract is non-objective, more about the paint shape and color. People take normal objects and change them in a significant way.”

Why might people want to make these changes? “I have no idea,” he replies.

King doesn’t even use words other than “Untitled” to name his pieces. “It makes it much more refined that way. I don’t want to influence the viewer,” he says. “They can see what they want to see.”

Henderson says, “I don’t have words for it. Somehow I find that very pleasing and I don’t know why. It’s a big mystery.”

At this particular art show, the artists’ styles stand distinct from one another. So much so, that after you’ve identified one painting with its painter, you will likely know on sight all the other works by that painter in the gallery. This rule applies to all three.

With a glance at any of Wecksler’s works, for example, the viewer sees a portrait. Except for a self-depiction titled “MEanderthal,” these portraits are instantly recognizable as famous faces—Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe. A second glance reveals transparent splashes of paint – red, yellow, blue—some appearing to run in rivulets down the subject’s face.

King’s untitled pieces introduce a measure of uncertainty. One sees a few angular shapes and colors on a largely blank, contrasting field.

Casual interpretation comes eventually, though one is not really sure what the artist intended. A painting could be a wide body of still water reflecting distant buildings on a faraway shore, all self-lit on an overcast night. But maybe not.

The artist himself claims no intent. “I don't start off with a goal,” King says. “I add and remove the paint. It’s as much subtraction as it is addition. I know I’m finished when there’s no more in there to come out.”

He, too, sees realism as a clearer artistic expression, but that’s not what he’s about. “Abstract is more amenable to interpretation,” he 30

www.EnjoyMagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2017

explains. “My interpretation of my own work can change, depending on the environment, whether it’s hanging in the studio or in a gallery.”

Hendson offers even less direction. Her works depict no recognizable shapes, no puzzle pieces to assemble into a picture easily found in this world. Her paintings are patterns, layers of brush strokes of color and contrast with only their titles, such as “Sylvian Landscape,” suggesting meaning.

“There’s lots of abstract in nature,” she explains. “You look at the area of a rotting log, at the patterns and shapes and colors, and some sort of communication happens. Out of the context of a log, you’re no longer seeing a log.”

Asked what is being communicated, she again has no words. “People say they see this, and they see that, but I don’t do that,” she says.

Yet sometimes she can see errors in her work. Pointing to the thick lines of brown, green, blue and flashes of yellow in Sylvian Landscape, she critiques, “I’m somewhat dissatisfied with it because the lower part lost the luminosity I wanted to keep. It’s too muddy.”

So, how to string together words to describe the indescribable, to summarize the views of three abstract artists so starkly distinct with, say, one sentence each?

Abstract art depicts a visual distortion of realistic objects – or not.

The abstract artist authorizes the viewer freedom to interpret, to grapple color and contrast into the recognizable – or not.

“Some feeling comes up,” she says. •

RIDING _the _ CREST C E D A R C R E S T B R E W E R Y, TA S T I N G R O O M A N D V I N E YA R D S AFTER MANY YEARS as a connoisseur of the craft brew industry, Mark Livingston of Manton decided to follow his brother, Tim, of Portland, Ore. into the world of home brewing. A now 10-year endeavor, the hobby has grown into a small business as Cedar Crest Brewery, Tehama County’s only micro-brewery. It seems nobody could be more surprised at the success than Livingston himself.

“Certainly, we’ve had an explosion in the craft brewery industry in California in the last six or seven years,” he says, noting the value of Nor Cal Brewing Solutions in Redding as a source of his own learning. Still, he adds, “Initially, there wasn’t much of an expectation as far as building it (his brewery) into a small business.”

A victim of the recession, Livingston began helping out dad, Jim, and mom, Corey, at the couple’s winery when he was laid off from the retail marine industry. The extended family had moved to Redding and Manton from Santa Cruz in 2003.

“There was nothing on the radar about putting in a commercial brewery or winery or vineyard. It just wasn’t a thought,” he says of their arrival in the North State. Yet Jim and Corey began planting vines and Mark helped out while also perfecting his home brew. A wine tasting room opened in Manton to great success and Mark realized he could expand his brewing operation to the location, as well.

Then Brandon and Kate Grissom of Enjoy the Store Red Bluff came calling. “The vision five years ago was to create a gathering place,” Brandon says of the store that opened in 2013 and included a tasting room for Cedar Crest wines.

Brandon created a stunning bar with his carpentry skills that locals and visitors alike quickly began flocking to for local wine and conversation in a beautiful setting. Wine Down Wednesdays have become important markers in the weeks of many professionals.4

“I personally have been overwhelmed by the reception we’ve gotten, the way the city of Red Bluff has embraced us.”

In 2015, Mark brought his brews to Red Bluff. Again, Brandon created a new bar, this time in rectangle form so people can sit at four sides in camaraderie. Again, people rushed to the location. “It became immediately apparent that two or three barrels wouldn’t be enough to keep up with demand. I was continually racing to get product out,” says Mark. “I personally have been overwhelmed by the reception we’ve gotten, the way the city of Red Bluff has embraced us.”

While he might feel harried, Mark has been able to double his capacity to meet the needs of his guests in both Red Bluff and Manton and offers between 12 and 14 beers.

His Rocky Pond Blond, named for the pond from which the beer’s water is sourced, and Manton Hopper IPA are his most popular offerings, followed by a stout and hybrid red/ amber. “I’m always trying every month to have a new beer coming out,” he says, noting that discovering new beers at craft breweries has been one of his great joys in exploring the industry. “It’s always fun to try something a little different.”

In the warmer months, raspberry and watermelon brews are added to the offerings. “It was a big hit,” Mark says of the watermelon brew debuted last year using fruit sourced from Julia’s Fruit Stand in Dairyville.

“We went through a lot more than I expected.” When asked the secret of brewing consistently good beer, he answers without hesitation, “The process of brewing beer is really the process of cleaning everything constantly. It’s cleaning. That’s what brewing is.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2017

“What we’ve seen is that a community has developed around us. It’s a fun place to hang out...”

While there is great pride in the quality of product offered through Cedar Crest, it doesn’t take long in conversation with Livingston, the Grissoms or Enjoy team member Holly Coffman, often found tending the bar, that the real joy is in the realization of that five-year dream to create a gathering place in Red Bluff. “What we’ve seen is that a community has developed around us. It’s a fun place to hang out. The space that they’ve developed and the ambiance is comfortable, unique and a great place for friends to gather,” Livingston says.

First Fridays find the store pleasantly packed with friends coming together for live music, beer, wine and a food truck that will often be located just outside the store. “Part of healing our city will be delivered by literally gathering people together and sharing ideas,” Brandon says. “Maybe taking action, maybe not.”

Adds Kate, “The real story of the brewery coming to life in Red Bluff is really a story of partnership and trust. There’s definitely a void that was filled.” • Cedar Crest Brewery Tasting Rooms Enjoy the Store • 615 Main St., Red Bluff • (530) 727-9016 Cedar Crest Vineyards 32505 Forward Road, Manton • (530) 474-4242 Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

SPIN T R U E R I D E ’ S H I G H - I N T E N S I T Y C YC L I N G S T U D I O S INDOOR CYCLING STUDIOS have become all the rage, ever since SoulCycle came on the scene in 2006. With boutique-style studios such as Flywheel and Cyclebar popping up across the country, fitness fanatics are rejoicing in this hybrid craze that combines cycling and strength training.

There are many reasons these niche studios have become so popular, and now, thanks to Dan and Laurie Ryan’s passion and vision, Redding has a cycle studio, too.

TRUE Ride, which opened last December, is more than just a gym—it’s a destination. Owners Dan and Laurie Ryan grew up in the North State.

Dan is a businessman from Weaverville who owns Tops Markets, and Laurie had been a hair stylist for 30 years when she visited a Grit Cycle in Newport Beach a few years ago with Dan’s daughter. A spin instructor at Sun Oaks, Laurie had always been interested in exercise, but this was a whole new concept. And she was hooked. The seed was

planted—she wanted to see something like that come to Redding—a fitness community of people of all levels, all riding to the beat.

A former dancer, Laurie says she is driven by music. “The atmosphere we’ve created—the music, the great sound system—it’s what makes us different. We dance on the bikes.”

TRUE Ride specializes in high-intensity, fullbody cycling classes. During each 45-minute class, clients follow choreography set to music, taking them out of their fitness comfort zones and connecting them to the TRUE Ride community.

During the cycling classes, hand weights are used to work on upper body strength while cycling.

The cycle studio has 35 bikes, an LED light wall and is temperature controlled. During a ride, the lights are either off or dimmed, giving each rider the chance to focus on his or her own body and own level. In addition to the cycle studio, there is also a TRX room for core workouts.4

continued on page 38

SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“Working out has always been important to me,” Laurie says. “I want to make people feel welcome, inspire people to want to exercise.” She also stresses that fitness classes should not be intimidating. Although she has always been healthy, since beginning indoor cycling, Laurie has lost 25 pounds and swears she is in the best shape of her life. Dan has lost 35 pounds, lowered his cholesterol and stopped taking his blood pressure medicine. Dan says Laurie wanted to share all of that with others so they might be inspired to begin a fitness routine.

“We always need to encourage each other,” says Laurie.

“Keep coming back. You’ll see small changes—the endurance builds, the stamina comes back and you’ll make new friends here.”

It’s difficult to deny the sense of community that smaller boutique-style studios create. Friendships are formed, acquaintances are made and clients tend to provide a supportive atmosphere for one another. It’s a place that many can begin to consider a second home for their well-being and come for an experience, not just a workout.

TRUE Ride is a boutique gym. “We may cost a bit more,” says Laurie. “But we pamper our guests.” And after a 45-minute sweat session, the cold, eucalyptus towel is a welldeserved treat. Dedicated cycling studios pay attention to every detail of a client’s experience. From the quality of the indoor bikes to the sound system, from the temperature of the room to its ambiance, from the quality of the instructors to the music selection, every aspect is delicately decided to ensure clients have a remarkable experience.

TRUE Ride’s motto consists of three core values: Community, Energy and Encouragement. The ride starts

38

www.EnjoyMagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2017

with a warm-up, then pushes you to strength, pushes you to peak, uses the hand weights, and then the lights are down for you to do your own reflecting—your own “true ride.”

Instructors go through extensive training so the choreography stays true to the core values of the studio.

Laurie trained at The Ride House in Dallas, another cycling studio where she was further inspired by the business concept.

“Independent studios tend to stick together,” says Laurie.

“We’re not a franchise—we are independent owners.”

“It’s not a big gym,” adds Dan. “I like a small-town feel—to greet every person like family.”

TRUE Ride offers membership-free packages online, and even a bike reservation system so you can arrive 10 minutes prior to class without worrying if there is a bike available.

Indoor cycling is something that anyone can do—whether you are a novice or experienced athlete. It’s a low-impact exercise, unlike running or weight lifting. As a rider, you have complete control over the amount of tension you use on the bike, which makes your workout easier or harder. You choose the level at which you push yourself.

“I knew I wanted something different in my life, but I knew I wasn’t ready to retire,” Laurie says. “This has been a dream. Sometimes, I still pinch myself.” • www.trueridestudio.com

THE BIRD ISLE

C A S T L E R O C K N AT I O N A L W I L D L I F E R E F U G E I S F O R T H E B I R D S LOOKING AT CASTLE ROCK, a small island about a half-mile off the coast of Crescent City, it’s no wonder how the bit of land got its name. The mound of rock and pinnacle of stone could be interpreted in the shape of a turret rising from a fortress, but more than physically, Castle Rock is also metaphorically similar to some medieval castle, providing a safe place and refuge to the North American common murre.

“It’s actually the biggest murre colony between Alaska and the Faroe Islands,” says Eric Nelson, the manager of Castle Rock National Wildlife Refuge. “It’s a pretty important place in the California system.”

It might surprise the common Californian that the common murre, the northern hemisphere’s equivalent of the penguin, has such a large colony so near the coast.

According to Nelson, the colony population is about a quarter-million birds, even though the island is just 14 acres.

“During certain times of year, the birds are just jammed on there,” he says.

Interestingly, Castle Rock hasn’t always been a designated refuge, and not always for the murre. The island was first designated a refuge in 1980 to protect the then-endangered Aleutian Cackling Goose, “which is no longer endangered,” adds Nelson. “They were taken off the list in 2001, but in 1980 there were probably about only about 1,500 left, and one of the places that they stopped on their way back to the Aleutian Islands where they nest is Castle Rock. As the population has increased, Castle Rock has become less important to the geese, so they now roost in other areas on the mainland.”4

continued on page 42 SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WE FACE,” CONTINUES NELSON, “IS HOW TO GET MEANINGFUL INFORMATION ON THE BIRDS AND REALLY SEE WHAT’S GOING ON WITHOUT A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT…” Photo Courtesy of USFWS

Photo by Mike Peters

Due to the murre colony, Castle Rock remains restricted to the public, since murre do not create traditional nests, but rather keep their eggs lodged against the bare rock. All in all, it makes for a sensitive nesting area.

“It’s closed for a couple reasons,” Nelson says. “Primarily because the disturbance that would occur with humans going out there would be enormous. One person traipsing about the island at the wrong time can cause the complete collapse of the murre colonies.”

Also, Nelson adds, “the soil is very susceptible to damage, and landing on any kind of island is not typically a very safe thing to do.”

Which creates a challenge even for those who work at the refuge, who monitor the birds with high-tech equipment.

“The biggest challenge we face,” continues Nelson, “is how to get meaningful information on the birds and really see what’s going on without a detrimental impact. Sea birds are difficult to study and obviously there are limitations,” he adds, but the effort isn’t without reward.

The refuge conducts some research to care for the birds, which nest roughly between April and October. The equipment and cameras are set up before and taken down after the nesting season.

This surveillance doesn’t just give information about the birds, but also about the local and wider ecosystem. While the refuge surveys murre activity such as nest initiation, the success of laying eggs and

hatching, and size of colony, they also pay attention to eating habits, “which is really telling,” adds Nelson. “We can zoom in and see what kind of fish are predominantly being fed to the chicks, such as smelt and rock fish in the north – but in the Bay Area it’s anchovies, and in Oregon it’s different yet.”

Nelson calls the common murre the marine canaries in the proverbial coalmine. “What’s going on above with the sea birds can help tell you what’s going on below the surface,” says Nelson, thanks to the patterns of murre diets depending on the region.

Though the island remains closed off to the public, there are ways for people to enjoy the birds – safely and responsibly from a distance.

While nobody can prevent kayaks or other boats from coming within 300 feet of the island, Nelson warns, “the seas in that part of California are very fickle.” Plus, he adds, “you can see the island with a good spotting scope on a nice morning with the sun at your back. That way you can get a good look.” • Castle Rock National Wildlife Refuge www.fws.gov/refuge/castle_rock Jordan Venema is a freelance writer and California native.

Stir it Up T H E WA I L E R S TO P E R FO R M AT T H E C A S C A D E T H E AT R E “Some is leaves, and some is branches. But I and I is roots.”

- Aston “Family Man” Barrett MOST MUSIC SCHOLARS AGREE that the role of the bass guitar in reggae was established by Aston “Family Man” Barrett, the legendary bass guitarist, musical arranger and record producer renowned for his integral role in shaping the musical direction of Bob Marley & The Wailers throughout their career.

“Drums are the first instrument in music,” explains Barrett. “They used to use it a lot in Africa to send messages across the village and valley and city, everywhere. So we in-grafted Nyabinghi communal (Rastafari music and chanting) and mixed it with Jamaica mento ( Jamaican folk music) creating that beat which we call the one-drop.

A lot of people have a view that reggae bass is built on simplicity, but it’s so hard to actually get the right feel.”

Formed in the late ‘60s in Jamaica and best known as Bob Marley’s legendary backing band, The Wailers remain the world’s most popular reggae act, selling more than 250 million albums and performing for more than 20 million people around the world. The band is best known for hits like “No Woman, No Cry,” “I Shot The Sheriff ” and “Buffalo Soldier.”4

Barrett is a self-taught musician, having created his very own bass, a one-stringer, at an early age. He played with his brother Carlton, who would play drums on empty paint cans. Recalling how he built the instrument, he says, “The neck was made out of 2-by-4 wood, and the body was made out of ply. And so I draw the body and let them guys cut it out from there on a band saw. And I nailed it together. I never even screw it. It was a board ashtray I got on to the bottom of it, like abridge, to have the string come off of it.

And the string was one curtain rod string. I put it on there and stretch it around the neck and put the wood ashtray as a bridge to leave it off of the frets. When I play it, it go ping, ping, ping, ping.

When I took it to the cellar and a wooden floor and I play it, it go louder boom, boom, boom, boom, like a bass.”

Like other would-be reggae musicians, he launched his career in the Kingston nightclubs, playing guitar in a group called The Hippy Boys that he shared with his brother. By 1969, the Barrett brothers were recording with music producer Lee “Scratch” Perry as part of his band, the Upsetters.

The high point of the group was its instrumental single, "Return of Django," which became an international hit.

The original Wailers had formed as a vocal harmony group in the Trench Town slum in 1963 as a quintet, but later slimmed down to a trio, composed of Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston. Percussionist Alvin ‘Seeco’ Patterson brought the The Wailers to an audition at Studio One, resulting in their first hit recordings, which were recorded and performed with session musicians.

In 1970, the Wailers signed on to record with Perry, and that’s when they met up with his in-house rhythm section: the Barrett brothers. Impressed with their thick and heavy bass sound, Marley convinced the two to become his rhythm section, and soon afterwards they broke away from Perry and established their own Tuff Gong Label.

From that point on, the brothers provided the essential rhythmic foundation for the recordings and performances by Bob Marley until Marley's death in 1981.

In addition to co-writing the tune, "Rebel Music (3 O'clock Roadblock),” Barrett coproduced 11 albums with Marley. He also became one of the first to incorporate a drum machine on a reggae tune when he and The Wailers recorded "No Woman, No Cry," "So Jah Seh" and "Johnny Was.” After Marley's death, Barrett helped to put The Wailers band back together, releasing several albums including "I.D.," "Majestic Warriors" and "Jah Message," as well as continuing to tour the world over, while furthering the message of Bob Marley & The Wailers.

"It was my last promise to Bob. We were friends and partners in this music; we worked side by side in the studio and on stage. The music is what brought us together. Bob came looking for me. After we discovered each other, we never left each other, until he left us. And I’m still here doing it. I’d been on the road before Bob, you know. Before Bob, with Bob, and after Bob.”

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

SOME SAYINGS just don’t prove true, like, “Those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.” Many teachers teach because their passions must be shared and carried on to new generations. Debbie Diestler has used her artistic talents to teach and inspire and demonstrate the pleasures of creating. She taught elementary school in the Pacheco School District for 26 years, incorporating art in her classrooms and in district-wide productions. Now, in her retirement, she continues to encourage people from ages 9 to 90 to explore their artistic interests.

Diestler grew up immersed in the world of art and fashion with parents who introduced their three children to a full range of visual and performing arts. Her father worked for Levi Strauss and her mother had a flair for fashion and interior design. They brought to their family a sense of color and design, pattern and texture. Diestler’s sister, Julie Cohn, is a well-known Bay Area watercolorist and brother Steven Cohn is a professional jazz musician. Their father collects the work of Bay Area figurative artists and his collection is regularly included in local art tours.

Growing up in a rich creative environment gave Diestler her inner passion, but as a shy and insecure youngster, she didn’t feel talented.

She connected with children as she became a young adult and felt drawn to teaching. She says she was “too practical to be a professional artist.” However, as a teacher, she wove “all the things I love into history, math and the other subjects.” She coordinated the visual and performing arts for Pacheco School District for several years and was hired back for two years even after she retired.

Still full of artistic passion, Diestler has spent her retirement years refining her own “artistic voice.” She took some art classes in high school and college and has never stopped learning along her life journey. She continues to take classes and spends time with other artists, including sister Julie, honing techniques and sharing creative interchange. Diestler says in her website biography that she “finds complete and utter joy working with color in watercolor, acrylic, ink and beautiful papers. There are always unexpected creations and gratifying surprises in every artistic endeavor.”4

North State artist and art instructor Barbara Enochian says of Diestler, “Some artists do ‘art for art’s sake,’ but Debbie does ‘art forheart’s sake.’” Enochian says Diestler is “dedicated to sharing the joy of painting with others.” Diestler, who calls her art business Heartspectrum, partnered for three years with Compass Shining Care at Grace Place in Redding where she offered art classes to groups of all ages who, according to Program Coordinator Colleen Nelson, “walked away feeling they … made new friends with the same desire to learn to paint and had a lot of fun learning about art, the artist and friendship.”

Diestler incorporates Turtle Bay’s Art Masterpiece Program, using art portfolios of famous artists as focal points and inspiration for her students. Her most recent teaching opportunity has been as a contracted artist with Santa Rosa City School District, where twice a year she works with at-risk students in five middle schools. “These kids have changed my life,” she says.

A featured artist from January to September this year at Redding’s City Hall, Diestler’s “Koiful” painting was chosen to be displayed on a 48-by-64-inch metal screen in the entrance to the Redding Library.

Kimberly Niemer, director of City of Redding Community Services, describes the space as a welcoming “warm-up,” more like an atrium as visitors enter the library. Brenna Bowers, art facilitator for Art in the City, chose to showcase Diestler’s work on the first floor because it is “colorful, dynamic and different.”

“My passion for art is only exceeded by my love and devotion to God and my family,” says Diestler. She says she paces herself, but likes to let God take the lead to plan her next activity. Diestler has a collage class slated for September 11 at North Valley Art League. • www.heartspectrum.com

Sandie Tillery Creating a picture with words has been Sandie’s small claim to fame for a good part of her life. A degree in journalism from San Francisco State University opened early professional writing opportunities. Now, as a long-time North State resident, she delights in discovering and describing wonderful people, places and events from this part of the world.

THERE IS A CERTAIN TOUGHNESS that leather exudes – an undeniable, deliberate, no-questions-asked resolve that precedes anyone bold enough to wear it. And while this vibe is ever fashionable, it may give those of us who don’t walk the catwalk the feeling that we “just can’t pull it off.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Look a bit closer, dear friends. Actually, reach out and feel it. There is softness there in the structured, utilitarian, edginess that leather has. That softness is the very thing that makes leather all the more fabulous – it manages to strike the perfect balance between strength and comfort. Read along as we explore the beautiful dichotomy of L.E.A.T.H.E.R.

et leather play with luxurious fabrics like lace, crisp white cotton and cashmere. The unexpected contrast between fabrics provides a refreshing balance, helping to extend the life of some of your summer favorites while adding in a touch of fall glamour.

We love the pairing of a cropped leather motorcycle jacket (affectionately called a “moto”) with a long, lace maxi skirt. A leather knee-length skirt or a sleek pair of leather pants is professional enough for the office but packs a style punch when coupled with a button-down (or zippered) cotton shirt. Snuggle up in a cozy cashmere infinity scarf atop your leather jacket and your favorite pair of distressed jeans for a look that epitomizes comfy-chic.

ntertain the notion that leather and floral can be friends - because they can be.

In fact, they are style besties. This winning combination takes the phrase “girls are made of sugar and spice” and adds to it “but they are so much more than that.”

We love that leather staples like moto jackets, blazers, trenches, pencil skirts, pants, shorts or even a leather dress can give your floral pieces staying power as the temperature dwindles. And with florals at the top of the fashion A-list this season, the look couldn’t be more on time.

dorn yourself in leather jewelry. We’re virtually certain you’ve seen fabulous and funky leather cuffs or studded wrap bracelets on “it” girls and guys everywhere. Layer these with metal bangles or leather bracelets in other colors to create a unique-to-you look. Have you considered trying to incorporate a leather choker into your wardrobe, but can’t quite muster the courage? Soften up the style a bit by using leather of a different color, or by incorporating crystals, natural stones, charms or other embellishments to offer a sweet balance to the edginess. Leather fringed earrings and necklaces are as eye-catching as they are touchable - running your fingers through these texturally-interesting jewelry pieces may just bring you comfort in moments of stress.4

ransport your stuff in leather-lovin’ style. Leather bags are classic, not only because quality leather only gets better with age - like a fine wine, and if it’s well maintained, of course - but because the utilitarian style that leather bags are often made in is ever-fresh.

Backpacks, fanny packs, cross-bodies, messenger bags and totes are ideal for travel and for everyday use because of their virtually hands-free functionality. Elegant clutch bags, edgy satchels with funky hardware and just about any other leather bag are sure to make a firm fashion statement for the office or a night on the town. And with so many colors and textures available where leather bags are concerned, the possibilities are endless. If you are looking to make a splurge purchase this season, a bag is the way to go.

H

igh heeled or flat, thigh-high, calf-length or ankle-boot style, leather footwear is a worthy investment. While we tend to associate leather with a good pair of boots, it’s important not to limit your leather footwear to boots alone. High-heeled pumps and strappy open toes in leather are hot this season, as well. Try on a pair with a flourish of fringe to up the wow factor. You will pay a bit more for a shoe in a good, sturdy leather, but the incentive is knowing that the shoes will last you for years, instead of just a season or two. And quite frankly, honey, there is no point in buying them unless you love them enough to want to wear them for a lifetime.

E

ngage your admirers, starting from the top. Hats are another fashion element many of us aren’t comfortable wearing. Maybe we fear the “hat hair” that will likely ensue, or perhaps we just haven’t bolstered the confidence yet. But a cool hat in leather might just bring us out of our shells. Try a floppy sun hat, a fedora, a newsboy cap or a ‘90s inspired baseball cap in leather to re-imagine a basic ensemble. We love the idea of a hat in brown, grey or red leather, but classic black certainly has its longstanding charm. Coordinate the hat with a leather belt of a similar color to tie it all in perfectly.

R

ealize that if you aren’t into wearing leather based on personal preferences, there are plenty of vegan leather options – ones that do not use any animal products – on the market. While vegan leather will have a slightly different feel than classic leather, the cool factor remains. It’s also likely to be less expensive than its leather counterparts. You can enjoy the fashion benefits of vegan leather while staying true to your belief system. And what’s not to love about that? •

S H A S TA D O G S — E N C O U R A G I N G R E S P O N S I B L E D O G O W N E R S H I P DOGS YOUNG, OLD, shy, bold, fluffy, scruffy, aloof or a bit of a goof. Shasta Dogs welcomes all.

The North State nonprofit encourages active, responsible dog ownership. Shasta Dogs provides connections to dogrelated clubs, sports and events. Plus, it offers its own action: dog walks, puppy socialization, dog training, demonstrations and other activities.

“Shasta Dogs is an awesome organization. I’m so happy to be part of it,” says Scott Schaller of Redding.

Through Shasta Dogs, he learned about the options of agility, farm hunting and other dog sports. He and his dog Curry landed on Flyball, a high-speed activity with hurdles and tennis balls.

Patti Wells has a small sheep farm in Whitmore and experience training herding dogs. But Jett, a large German

shepherd who ended up in her life, was not a good match with sheep. Through Shasta Dogs, she found out about cart training. Now Jett’s job on the farm is hauling brush, bags of grain and groceries.

Gary Swain of Anderson says Shasta Dogs got him and his Siberian husky, Yeti, out more on Redding trails.

“I just started going on the (organized group) walks.

The more I learned, the more wanted to get involved,” he says. “She’s happier; I’m happier.”

Terry Benson of Palo Cedro came to Shasta Dogs because her rat terrier, Gusto, focuses on dogs more than her. “We wanted to get in a group and work on that. It’s a great organization. Everybody is at different levels. We are all here to learn.”4

“It’s really about relationships,” Shasta Dogs President Holly Carpentier says. “We want people to have a good relationship with their dog.”

Carpentier of Shasta got Shasta Dogs up and running because she saw a need for a community in the North State where dog owners could connect. She was also looking for activities to do with her Belgian shepherd, Coda.

“I got a dog that needed to do stuff,” she says.

Carpentier trains and sometimes fosters dogs. She has experience in obedience and search-and-rescue work.

She contacted others with interest and expertise in dogs.

Word about the group spread friend to friend and via social media. The nonprofit incorporated in 2014.

“I wanted to share knowledge and have a community of people helping each other,” Carpentier says. “My goal is to be a resource for people. If you don’t know where to go, start here. We can point you to different places.”

The group promotes organizations such as Strike Force Flyball Club, Shasta Kennel Club, Shasta County K9 Search & Rescue and Shasta Splash Dogs.

“Dogs are phenomenal companions,” says Nacina Dawn, a Shasta Dogs enthusiast. “People who leave dogs in the backyard and don’t really interact with them are missing out on so much.”

Shasta Dogs runs on the energy of its volunteers, many of whom have backgrounds in a specific dog sport or activity.

“It’s peer-driven. We have a lot of really experienced people,” Carpentier says.

Dog owners come to the group for different reasons. Someone might want to socialize a puppy or get tips on what to do with a Labrador fixated on tennis balls. There could be a goal of training a dog for herding, agility, search-and-rescue or a therapy program. Or a

60

www.EnjoyMagazine.net SEPTEMBER 2017

dog owner might simply want to meet other dog owners and be able to walk the dog without being pulled.

Carpentier leads group dog walks. The low-key walks are an opportunity to get tips, observe others and get dogs used to being around other dogs. The walks are free, as are many Shasta Dogs activities. When fees are charged for classes or events, scholarships or vouchers earned through volunteering are an option. Shasta Dogs volunteers scoop poop as part of organized trail cleanups and have done fundraising for Morris Animal Foundation pet cancer research.

Shasta Dogs lists events on its website calendar. The calendar includes activities of other dog organizations in the region, too. Events also are posted on the Shasta Dogs Facebook page.

“If it has anything to do with dog training or sports, we’re probably interested in it,” Carpentier says.

Articles on dog training, nutrition, health and safety can be found on the organization’s website and Facebook page. • Shasta Dogs • www.shastadogs.com Find Shasta Dogs on Facebook

LY N N H E R R E I D — K E E P I N G R E D D I N G G R A F F I T I - F R E E WHAT STARTED as a temporary solution to an unattractive problem has become part of Lynn Herreid’s life’s work – and it’s making Redding a more beautiful place.

Herreid, 60, has been removing graffiti as a volunteer with the Redding Police Department for five years. “It started out temporarily and it’s been five years,” he says.

Herreid removes graffiti on public property within the city limits of Redding, typically spending almost 80 hours a month on the task. On average, he removes graffiti two or three days a week for five or six hours at a time.

“We have a hotline where people leave messages, and I go to those locations and I clean, paint or pressure wash graffiti – whatever it takes.”

Herreid has a system down. “On stop signs, you just spray it with a chemical, let it sit there for two minutes and

hopefully it takes just the graffiti off, ” Herreid says. “And then there’s this other stuff called Elephant Snot – I’m not sure where it got its name. You brush it on sidewalks and stuff and you have to let it dry like 10 or 20 minutes, and that pressure washes right off most of the time.”

Like any job, removing graffiti has its challenges and rewards. The challenging part for Herreid has been the volume of graffiti. The most rewarding part is “having people say ‘thank you,’” says Herreid. “A lot of times people will drive by and honk or actually stop and say, ‘Thank you so much.’ That’s pretty rewarding.”

Along with removing graffiti, Herreid also helps Community Work Program Officer Bob Brannon clean up transient camps. “That’s the main reason I do graffiti, 4 continued on page 64 SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

is to help Bob. He was doing it before I was doing it and he doesn’t have time to do the job he does now. He’s the most unappreciated guy you probably ever saw working, and he just works and works, so I help him when I can,” says Herreid.

Herreid has known Brannon for more than 20 years and calls him the “unsung hero.”

“Today, since I’ve had the volunteers doing the graffiti, I focus on the transients and the problems associated with the transients and the illegal dumping,” Brannon says.

Brannon, 61, started working for the Redding Police Department in October 1990. “I could have retired when I was 55, but I enjoy working. A goal I have is to train somebody to do my job when I leave. I enjoy what I’m doing and I would like to get someone in there that also enjoys what they’re doing and to do a decent job,” Brannon says.

To volunteer to help remove graffiti, you can fill out an application (which requires a background check) at the Redding Police Department. •

Quiet T H E TOW N O F H O R N B R O O K AS THE LANES of Interstate 5 weave their way to the Siskiyou Summit, they pass through a small, quiet valley, where rolling hills cradle a town which breathes the voices of its past. A painted cattle guard marks the pavement, drawing visitors into the wispy past and present of the town of Hornbrook.

The California and Oregon Railroad came through this valley in 1887, where a Native American village once prospered. A town grew up around the tracks, named Cottonwood, after the creek which still runs through the town. However, when the post office was established, the name Cottonwood was already taken, so the area was renamed Hornbrook, after David Horn whose ranch was at the mouth of the creek.

As the two lanes meander into town from the freeway, cows watch with their heads leaning over barbed wire fences. Earlier pioneers and those who came after them rest in the Henley-Hornbrook Cemetery. A nearby home is joined by a tall water tower, whose container is cracked and empty, but echoes of days when it supplied water to the home.4

Once this mountain village was busy with activity. The railroad depot had an active roundhouse and switchyard. A large saloon hosted dancing and social events. Horses and buggies lined up along a hitching rack.

Walnut trees shaded a band stand. Ranchers and cowboys populated the streets and life moved swift as the town grew. South of town, when the trains were frequent, a hobo camp sprang up. Along these same tracks, in 1919, President Woodrow Wilson stopped and signed the American Legion charter. Herds of deer wandered through the ranch land, while the creek filled with fish.

Passing through the neighborhoods of Hornbrook, there is an ethereal threading of the past between the homes of its current families. A yellow painted church is now a home. The downtown is marked with buildings from its western past, waiting by themselves to see if they will be filled again. One house leans sharply to the south, empty and waiting to rest on the ground. A concrete shell of what was once a two-storied structure strives to remember its history.

In decades past, The T. Jones Company operated in a large brick building. The butcher and barber kept their doors open during the week.

The Waldon Brothers Dry Goods Store did a brisk business. The D.C. Earhart Hardware Store kept the town repaired and building, along with the Post Office and Telephone Exchange inside its walls. The Livery Stable burned and was replaced by the Hornbrook Garage and the newly acquired automobiles of the residents.

The town is dotted with grassy fields, filled with cattle, horses and hay bales. Weathered barns and homes with no paint show the years which have passed. Tractors and farm equipment rust with grace alongside the road and homes, giving an antique feel to the community.

The small town of Klamathon arose, bringing a saw mill, box factory and door factory to the valley. This created a rival community which in 1902 disappeared in a fire. A few decades after, a fire swept through Hornbook, and much of where the city had grown was left to weeds, and the valley entered a quieter phase.

Today, Hornbrook is home to a California Department of Forestry station, and the highway offramp brings people to a gas station and convenience store. Yet between the rolling hills, the same winds from a century ago move the branches of Ponderosa pine over the 268 residents.

The same mountains watch and the same creek flows. Here, time moves forward and yet holds all that is past. • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica. He manages the Narnia Study Center.

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:

Mystery, She Wrote LIBRARIES AND LLAMAS WITH AUTHOR SHARON OWEN

THE MYSTERY WRITER Sharon Owen spent the bulk of her career in the medical field, so it’s not surprising that the protagonist in her Aimee Machado series is a hospital employee. What makes the character unique, though, is her position as a forensic librarian.

Aimee also happens to be multiethnic (Chinese and Portuguese), has earned a black belt in jujitsu and lives in a loft above a llama barn on her parents’ ranch in Northern California.

“There’s nobody like that out there, and my publisher thought so, too,” says Owen, who is at work on her fifth book in the Aimee Machado series and is under contract for a sixth. Owen is published by Seattlebased Coffeetown Press under the Camel Press imprint. She uses the pen name Sharon St. George.

Owen says the idea for her series rounded into shape during the 10 years she worked at the Shasta College library. Her earlier jobs included working as a medical transcriptionist, serving as the medical staff coordinator at Redding Medical Center (now Shasta Regional Medical Center), and a volunteer stint in the library at a 400-bed teaching hospital in Connecticut.

Her first book, a hospital-based mystery, was not published but it did win a prize in the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers contest. That motivated her to stay with her chosen genre. “I decided to stick with hospital-based books,” Owen says. “That’s the reason I ended up with a protagonist being a librarian. I wanted to do something I knew well.

Who even knows hospitals have their own libraries?”

The character of Aimee is inspired by Owen’s granddaughter, Aimee Rose Santone, and her character’s martial arts prowess stems from

Aimee’s father, Scott Redden, a sixth-degree black belt and assistant instructor at the Redding JuJitsu Academy. The llamas are based on the fact that Owen and her husband, outdoor writer John Higley, raise llamas on their property in Palo Cedro.

Owen says she’s not interested in gory tell-alls but would rather focus on stories where she can rely on her knowledge and background. “I know how much goes on to keep patients safe, and in order to keep patients safe, it’s important to know what can go wrong. I try to write my story where there’s an element of realism but not enough to scare people.”

Owen grew up in Red Bluff and earned an associate’s degree at Shasta College. She put her education on hold after marrying and starting a family. Some 30 years later, she seized the opportunity to complete her bachelor’s degree in English at Western Connecticut State University.

Her three years at university also allowed her to pursue her interest in performing—which began as a child when her mother enrolled her in dance classes. “I gave up the dance lessons but I was still fascinated by being on stage, so in my late 30s I decided I wanted to get involved in theater.” That desire led to a role in the Riverfront Playhouse production of “6 Rms Riv Vu” in 1990. “It was me and Wilson Smith and I really enjoyed it.”

With some electives to choose from at Western Connecticut, Owen says she opted for an acting class that led to advanced classes in playwriting and literature for the stage, and ultimately a minor in theatre arts. “Everything I learned helped with development of character and expression. It was great the way the two dovetailed. It was perfect for a returning student; I got to major and minor in where my passion was.”4 continued on page 72

SEPTEMBER 2017 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

After returning to Redding, Owen reestablished herself at Riverfront, directed one play and then auditioned for the role of Helen Martins in Athol Fugard’s “The Road to Mecca.” The 1997 show “was the highlight of my acting career. It was just an incredible experience.” Owen and costar Samantha Fork each earned best-actor “Arpee” awards for their performances.

Owen returned to the Riverfront stage 20 years later to take the role of Daria Chase in the January production of “The Game’s Afoot,” giving the community theater company the distinction of casting an actual mystery writer in the popular whodunit by Ken Ludwig.

Inhabiting the mind of Aimee Machado is Owen’s favorite role these days and the novels give her a foothold in the sprawling universe of mystery writers in a “huge, huge genre” that includes everything from police procedurals “to cozy mysteries where the cat talks to the old lady” to action and suspense stories like the ubiquitous Jack Reacher novels.

There’s one genre that outperforms ’em all: the romance novel. “They’re kind of like popcorn or potato chips. They’re just devoured by readers,” Owen says.

But even in that field Owen is making inroads.

Harlequin Worldwide Mystery, a publisher of pocket paperbacks, has contracted with Camel Press to publish the first two books in Owen’s series. “One of the things my publisher likes about my books is that the protagonist is on the outs with her boyfriend, so there’s just enough of that romance kind of element. I even had a reader ask me if they’re ever going to get back together again. People like the mysteries and others follow that relationship role,” Owen says.

Owen’s longtime role with the Writers Forum was highlighted in March when a C-SPAN crew stopped in Redding to produce segments on local history and literary events/non-fiction authors. An interview with Owen and fellow writer Steve Callan (“Game Warden’s Son” and “Badges, Bears and Eagles”) aired on BookTV on C-SPAN2. Callan’s two books also were published

by Coffeetown Press.

“Steve and I were on C-SPAN2, to the delight of our publishers,” Owen says. • Jon Lewis is a Redding-based writer with 37 years of experience.

HEALTHGreenville September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

WISE

Such focus helps promote resources and awareness around the issues of suicide prevention, how you can help others, and how to talk about suicide without increasing the risk of harm.

Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. “Suicide does not discriminate.” In Indian Country, suicide rates are higher than the general population. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people and is often the result of mental health conditions that affect people when they are most vulnerable.

Suicidal thoughts and suicide occur too frequently but should not be considered common and can indicate more serious issues. In many cases the individuals, friends and families affected by suicide are left in the dark, feeling shame or stigma that prevents talking openly about issues dealing with suicide.

People may not show any signs of the intent to commit suicide before they commit suicide. But there are behaviors that may indicate a person is at risk for suicide, and it is important to be aware of warning signs and risk factors. If you notice any warning signs for

suicide, starting a conversation with the person may save their life.

Recognizing and Respond. Learn the warning signs: • Hopelessness; feeling like there is no way out • Anxiety, agitation, sleeplessness, or mood swings • Feeling like there is no reason to live • Rage or anger • Engaging in risky activities • Increasing alcohol or drug abuse • Withdrawing from family and friends GET HELP Share available resources with the person. Be willing to make the call, or take part in the call to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (Talk). The toll-free confidential Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Let the person know that you are willing to go with them to see a professional when they are ready. If you feel the situation is critical, take the person to the closest Emergency Room or call 9-1-1. Do not put yourself in danger. If at any time during the process you are

iron maiden DA I RY V I L L E ’S C A S T I R O N PA M WITH THE NICKNAME Cast Iron Pam, one can only imagine the collection of cast iron cookware Pam Warfield of Dairyville keeps. There’s a fish fryer so big and heavy it takes up two burners on her stove and never really leaves. “I use it for everything,” she says.

She has saucepans, frying pans, Dutch ovens, muffin and loaf pans, a chicken fryer and “obscure pans that people pick up for me,” she adds.

Her journey to cooking exclusively with cast iron came after trying virtually every style of cookware under the sun. With nine children, she had reason to be particular. She cooks in large quantities and needs reliable heat, durability and consistency in performance. “It’s like the original nonstick skillet, because once it’s seasoned, you could cook dry with it,” she says.

“It just enhances the flavors of everything you cook.

“It will last a lifetime, for several generations. You can hand it down,” she says, noting that she uses her husband’s grandmother’s 10-quart Dutch oven almost daily.

“I make all my soups in it,” she says. “It’s an antique, over 100 years old, and I use it all the time.”

Between family meals and church potlucks, Warfield became known for her cooking. “A friend of mine at church wanted a lot of my recipes,” she says. “For Christmas one year I was going to hand write all of them.” It didn’t take long for her hand to cramp. In 2011 she decided to type everything out and create a book for family and friends as a Christmas gift.

By 2012, she published the collection as “Cast Iron Pam Healthful Home Cooking.” The cookbook contains not only recipes, but advice for keeping a wellstocked pantry and freezer, meal planning and a sample one-week menu. “I had in mind newly married couples and people going off on their own for the first time,” she says. “It makes a great wedding gift with a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.”4

As for her family’s favorite dishes, Warfield is hard-pressed to name a favorite. “My husband loves my tamale pie,” she says, “Everyone does.” Then she remembers how good her cornbread comes out when cooked in a castiron skillet. “You get a nice crust around the edges. They love the cornbread.”

Finally, however, she settles on her pizza, which is made from handmade dough and home-cooked sauce and goes into the oven on heavy cast iron pizza pans.

Warfield is at work on her next cookbook, a collection of cast iron recipes that can be cooked on a campfire. “The camping book has a lot of tips for people who have never gone camping before or who have never had to put together a trip themselves,” she says. Her first piece of advice is to schedule in your trips. “If you don’t get it on the calendar it will never happen,” she says with a laugh. “We go as soon as the weather gets good and we go as often as possible.”

Coy about her favorite camping spots, she will say, “We try to find new places all the time. When we go camping, most of the places we go, we have to haul in water.” Still, the family doesn’t suffer too much inconvenience. Warfield cooks up berry cobblers, gingerbread, pot roast and even cakes while camping. She packs specialty cast iron with legs and lids that allow for coals to be placed both under and on top of the cookware.

In fact, it was on their way home to Napa from a camping trip 14 years ago that the couple discovered the Dairyville area. “My husband likes to take all sorts of crooked and dirt roads,” she says, noting that it’s how they came across the land they ended up buying on Electric Avenue. “We loved it.”

Husband Ed is a woodworker and the one who christened Warfield as Cast Iron Pam. They also sell walnuts, pecans, almonds and sometimes hazelnuts from their property directly to customers from their home. Pam is in the process of getting her cottage food license to sell baked goods.

Warfield says when Ed and the kids go off fishing on their next camping trip, she’s going to remain in camp. “I like to stay back and do the cooking,” she says. “I’ll write recipes, work on my book.” She’s made sure to get several dates in on their calendar. • Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff. A graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

Self Help

| BY PATRICK JOHN

SEPTEMBER IS SELF-IMPROVEMENT MONTH

VACATION SEASON is mostly over. Kids are back in school.

Summer’s nearing an end. This is the time of year when many of us sink back into the groove of average daily life. It doesn’t HAVE to be that way. We don’t have to keep doing the normal routine. September is Self-Improvement Month, a chance to embrace the things that make us look better, feel more confident, refresh our minds creatively and enhance our relationships with friends and family.

When polled about top regrets in life, one of the most common responses was not chasing earlier aspirations in life. Most said they abandoned those ideas for the sake of being practical, saving money or raising a family. Dip your toe back in those dream waters. Wanted to be a fighter pilot? Maybe taking flight lessons locally can satisfy some of that regret. Sights set on a job in the creative world, but settled for a nine-to-five? Take a photography class, start painting at home or write a short story. Always dreamed of traveling the world? Subscribe to a travel magazine, talk to a travel agent and start saving for the trip that got away. Baby steps…slow and steady gets you there.

Not spending enough time with friends and family was a topic many felt regretful, and even guilty, about. If you haven’t seen Grandma in awhile, haven’t spoken with a sibling recently or can’t remember the names of nieces and nephews, you’re not alone. We get so busy with our own lives, it’s hard to track what the whole family is doing. Simple start – do a little housecleaning on Facebook and other

social media. If you don’t want to unfriend someone, just hide them for now. That will make it easier to see posts from just close family and friends. Be honest – if you want to contact someone, tell them you’ve been a lax friend or family member and want to reconnect. Now that we’re used to hiding behind a screen, a phone call or video chat goes a long way.

Looking better typically translates into feeling better, then into being happier. Overdue for a medical or dental visit? Book those appointments this month and get them off the to-do list. Relief is what you’ll feel after that’s over, and it won’t be hanging in the back of your mind. It may also stimulate exercise and other disciplines you’ve been lacking. Not happy with your appearance? Start walking once or twice a week, join a gym or enlist friends to take a class with you.

Maybe it’s time to clear out the closet and ditch those clothes you haven’t worn in the last year. Try this: Turn all your hangers backwards until you wear that item. After a few months, look at how many backwards hangers are left and donate or sell those clothes.

This topic could go on and on. The Human Condition is why selfimprovement and motivation books, websites, seminars and blogs are so popular. Try one of these ideas out, or come up with one of your own…you have the whole month to do it! • Patrick John has been working the radio airwaves in Redding for 22 years as co-host of Billy & Patrick Mornings.

WHAT’S COOKIN’

recipe SEPTEMBER 2017

TOASTED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CREAMY CILANTRO DRESSING SERVES: 4 - 6

This is a great dinner salad to make ahead and have waiting in the refrigerator, ready to serve up after your work day or after a family weekend hike. It’s great as a vegetarian dish, or add diced grilled chicken or whole shrimp if you would like. You can grill 3 large corn cobs and cut off the kernels, but in this version, we are using either canned corn or frozen corn kernels. Makes for easy prep!

Serve with garnishes listed, and warm corn tortillas or crispy tortilla chips.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS ¹⁄³ cup pine nuts 1 T extra-virgin olive oil 2 cup canned corn, drained and rinsed or frozen corn kernels, thawed and rinsed ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice, about 1 or 2 limes ¼ cup heavy cream 2 T extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, more for garnish ½ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper 2 15 oz. cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1 large tomato, diced ½ cup minced red onion 2 cup shredded cabbage ¼ crumbled Cotija cheese, more for garnish 1 large avocado, diced Garnishes (additional to above quantities): crumbled Cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

PREP TIME: 20-25 minutes COOK TIME: 5-9 minutes TOTAL TIME: 25-34 minutes

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Start by toasting pine nuts. Place pine nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 – 4 minutes. Remove to a plate and allow the pine nuts to cool. If serving salad later, seal pine nuts in a plastic ziptop bag or covered bowl, once cooled.

STEP 2: In the same heavy skillet, heat 1 T olive oil. Add corn kernels, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 3 – 5 minutes. Turn off heat, remove corn from skillet and place into a large bowl. Allow to cool.

STEP 3: For the dressing, whisk lime juice, heavy cream, and olive oil together. Stir in the cilantro, and the salt and pepper. If not serving immediately, place dressing in refrigerator until ready to toss with the salad.

STEP 4: To the bowl of toasted corn kernels, add black beans, diced tomato, red onion, shredded cabbage and the Cotija cheese. Lastly, add the diced avocado and lightly toss until coated. If serving immediately, toss salad with dressing and serve with garnishes. And if using diced chicken or shrimp, add to the salad before dressing.

GIVING BACK

| BY GARY VANDEWALKER

d e p Ca e d a s u r c T H E C A R D O Z A S M A K I N G W I S H E S CO M E T R U E F O R A I L I N G K I D S THE RINGING PHONE brought a gift Randy and Paula Cardoza wanted to reject. When the representative from Make-A-Wish told them their family had been referred and their daughter, Taylor, was eligible for a wish, they feared the worst. They assumed the referral meant their daughter’s brain tumor was terminal. As time passed, a wish granted to swim with dolphins, a trip to Disney World and a healthy child would prove them wrong. The door opened to an adventure they never imagined.

Make-A-Wish began in 1980. The Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area chapter opened in 1984, granting 27 wishes in its first year. It has since granted more than 8,000 wishes – an average of 375 per year. Its mission is straightforward: “We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.”

Encouraged by Taylor’s recovery and the uplifting

experience with Make-A-Wish, the Cardozas wanted to pay it forward. “I opened the local paper one day and there it was, a request for volunteers,” Randy says. “Paula and I could make up a Wish Team in Siskiyou County. After an extensive background check, we were trained to meet with medically eligible children and discover their ‘one true wish.’ “ After a child is referred to Make-A-Wish, the Cardozas meet with the family. One helps the parents complete paperwork while the other talks with the child, looking to discover his or her perfect day or one true wish. The child is asked many questions: What do you wish to be? What do you want to see? Where do you want to go? What is your favorite color, book, food and movies? This information is forwarded to a team to craft the wish into reality. Each wish is crafted to the individual, listening to what the child wants beyond any outside influences. “This is as close to magic as the child will ever experience,” Paula says.4 continued on page 94

While trips to Disney Parks are the most requested wish, those granted are as unique as the children referred. “We’ve seen children receive a puppy, a bedroom make-over and a day with the rock band Journey,” Paula says. “The idea is to create a day for the child to look forward to and look beyond their condition, the appointments and procedures.”

The Cardoza Wish Team met with a young boy from Tulelake with leukemia.

“Miles hid behind a recliner in his Batman PJs,” Paula says. “I asked him what his wish was and he replied, ‘To be Batman.’ When I asked why, he said in a quiet voice, ‘Because I dream about it.’”

The wish and all the information gathered was sent to the organization. The decision was made to do a recreation of Gotham City in San Francisco and make Miles a partner with Batman. As the wish fulfillment was planned, it grew bigger and bigger. “Everyone wanted to be involved,” Randy says.

On November 15, 2013, Miles’ wish became one of the largest and grandest wishes ever fulfilled, as thousands of people lined the streets and Miles spent the day saving the city with Batman. More than 12,000 people volunteered to make the wish come true. Since the event, it has been made into a 2015 documentary, “Batkid Begins.” Julia Roberts has announced she will be producing and acting in a movie of the event, “Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World.”

“Paula and I were just spectators that day,” Randy says. “We got a brief chance to wave at Miles from a distance. It was amazing to see what his wish had become.”

The Cardozas continue to volunteer as a Wish Team. “What began as a gift to our daughter has become even a bigger gift to us,” Paula says.

“Living in a small town, we often run into wish recipients months and years later. They run up to us with a smile and simply say, ‘Hey, I know you.’ And that is enough.” • Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mount Shasta, returning to the area from San Diego with his wife Monica.
