ASSISTING BUYERS AND SELLERS FOR OVER 33 YEARS IN SHASTA COUNTY

editor’s note november 2018

AS WE GATHER with loved ones, we’re reflecting on the simple things for which we are grateful – a sprinkle of rain, a walk on the Sundial Bridge, new snow on Mt. Shasta – even a park full of food trucks, symbolizing downtown renewal. What makes your heart happy?

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves, and if you’re planning to host a Friendsgiving celebration, we have some tips to share. It’s a beautiful way to create a new tradition.

It’s the season of gratitude, and we’re honored to introduce you to four people whose lives took a turn from peril to promise with the help of local service agencies. Their stories will inspire you.

Before the holiday shopping frenzy takes hold, we encourage you to take a moment to set up your North State Giving Tuesday contribution. It’s easy, you can select which organization will receive your donation,

and every dollar makes a difference. Last year, we broke the $1 million mark – that’s a lot of philanthropy! We’ve also collected some fun ideas for donating your time, energy and brainpower during the season of giving.

And if you like to shop and give at the same time, make a stop at the Hope Chest in Red Bluff. This thrift shop benefits the Family Counseling Center, which provides counseling to low-income and uninsured people of all ages.

Hungry? Take the short trek to Dunsmuir and check out The Wheelhouse – digging into a house-made meal while watching the Sacramento River roll by will remind you why we’re so lucky to live in the North State.

Wherever you gather for Thanksgiving, we wish you a celebration rich with delicious food, unconditional love and memorable moments. We are grateful for you.

Enjoy!

my town ANAND “LUCKY” JESRANI, SENIOR DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHASTA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITIES My family moved to the North State when I was just 8 months old.

I went from elementary school through high school in Red Bluff. After graduation, I left for UC Davis and then attended McGeorge School of Law. All through my higher education, I knew I wanted to return to the area and was ecstatic when a Redding law firm hired me immediately after passing the bar exam in 2005. Upon my return, I was quickly reminded how many fantastic opportunities we have locally for career, recreation and growth.

We have amazing careers and leadership opportunities in Redding, and we don’t always do the best job to highlight that fact. I have friends who are not just leaders in the legal industry, but also in medicine, finance, engineering, technology, education, government… I could go on and on, because it’s true! Also, with our short commute times, we have the ability and luxury to leave work and serve our community or have more time to spend with family. And young professionals, when serving the community, have the opportunity to lead and make a recognizable impact.

As for recreation, nothing is too far away and natural beauty is so nearby.

We have the exquisite Whiskeytown Lake only a 10-minute drive away and 50 different waterfalls within about an hour drive. Should we want to visit the city, it’s only a three-hour drive or a quick flight. From water sports, hiking, trails or short road trips, there is plenty to do and see.

Opportunities and prospects for growth are what excite me the most about our city. New and creative changes are occurring downtown and I can’t wait to see how it will all improve Redding. There are so many things that could be potential “game changers.” Having a chance to get your hands dirty by being a part of the change is so much more thrilling than just walking into a city that already has its own existing identity.

We live in an exceptional place that is full of abundant opportunities, and I am proud to call Redding my home!

She wanted to be able to smile and make her patients feel better.

Now that she has had soft tissue grafting, Nancy smiles with confidence and can care for her patients the way she has always wanted to.

GIVING THANKS

BY KIMBERLY BONÈY

for the love of f r iend s W E LC O M E TO F R I E N D S G I V I N G THE SEASON OF FALL COLORS, cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything is upon us. As the holidays draw near, many of us are preparing to host loved ones from near and far at our table. Sometimes, circumstances just don’t allow for everyone to go home for the holidays. At times like this, it’s wonderful when there is a friend waiting with open arms – and a seat at the table. We can’t pick our family – but if we could, chances are we would pick the friends who have shown us that sometimes, water is just as thick as blood. Friendsgiving is an opportunity to bring the family we choose into our holiday traditions. Here are some ideas for hosting the perfect Friendsgiving celebration.

SEND AN INVITATION Whether you prefer to send invitations through the mail, issue a modern evite, send a text message or offer a more casual “swing by the house around 3pm” face-to-face interaction, extending that invitation to your loved ones lets them know that you have held a space for them not only at your table, but in your heart.

Before you send a single invitation, though, write a list of who you’d like to have in attendance and make sure you’ve got enough space, seating, dishes, glasses and serving-ware to host everyone on that list. Your guests may also want to have a plus one, so plan accordingly.

ASK YOUR GUESTS TO BRING A DISH AND TO-GO CONTAINERS There is something beautifully nostalgic about food. Eating a dish we’ve grown up with can transport us back to a longago happy place. Have each guest bring a dish they’ve always enjoyed during the holidays. Know what dishes will be coming ahead of time and prepare a placard that shares the name of the dish, its ingredients and the name of the person who prepared it. It’ll be an incredible opportunity for each guest to share a bit of their culture and family history with everyone gathered at the table. It’s also a way to make sure that anyone with specific dietary restrictions can enjoy the festivities worry-free.4

21

Be sure to let guests know that the dish needs to be fully prepared before they get to your house, so you don’t end up with gridlock in the kitchen. Do, however, be prepared for dishes that will need to be heated just before the meal.

There will, no doubt, be leftovers. And what’s a good Friendsgiving without a built-in next-day meal? They get some delicious food to take with them, and you get to keep your storage containers and the space in your refrigerator.

CREATE A SIGNATURE COCKTAIL Knock it out of the park with a festive Friendsgiving drink.

Garnish it to perfection and serve it in a glass that fits in with your party theme. Have a few classics available, like red and white wine, your favorite house beer and a nonalcoholic option. If friends have their own drink preferences, ask them to bring along a bottle of their favorite to share.

You won’t break the bank paying for the drinks and might help to keep overdrinking at bay.

MAKE IT PERSONAL In a perfect world, all of your guests would be old friends with years of connection to bind them together. But the world isn’t perfect. You may very well have a mix of friends from different circles at your Friendsgiving – and that’s a chance to help build new friendships. Engage party guests with an “ice-breaker” question. Ask them what their favorite holiday memory is, to describe the best meal they’ve ever eaten, or where they would travel to if they had to leave immediately.

Be considerate with the questions you ask. Questions should be light-hearted and pressure-free. It’ll be a lovely way to have guests get to know each other better. You’ll be amazed by how much even complete strangers have in common.

Type up each question on a cardstock that coordinates with your color theme for the party, place it in an envelope with the guest’s name, and set it on the place setting you have prepared for them. Ice: broken!

MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL You don’t have to be an interior designer to set a table in style. It just takes a little bit of planning, time and love.

Decide whether you want a formal or casual experience and let that be your guide. Set on a formal dining experience?

Look online to find the perfect configuration of a place setting. If you are open to a more free-flowing table, let your creativity direct your steps. Pro tip: The casual experience will likely be the most inviting for your guests.

Use as many coordinating dish sets as possible, even if you have to mix and mingle several sets to accommodate your guests. If you need more dishes than you have available, ask a friend to loan you a set. Stick to a color theme so it creates uniformity, even if the styles are different.

f r iend s make the world be aut i f u l

Linen tablecloths and napkins can be rented easily, and most second-hand stores have cool napkin rings on the cheap. Add greenery from your yard, pinecones, candles or charming decor to bring the story to life. Set the mood with some good tunes. Create your own Friendsgiving playlist or pick a station you love and let the good times roll.

BUFFET STYLE IS BEST With a table full of people, it’s always easier if the food sits separately in its own space. Not only will it make room for guests to navigate the table without spills, but it’ll give the grub a place to shine – as it should. A large island, kitchen counter or even a folding table can serve as the perfect vehicle to display the food. Create risers at different levels by inverting sturdy bowls, and using stacked books (or even bricks) to create cool layers. Drape a tablecloth over the layers and place the dishes into the display as they arrive.

Splash in greenery and décor to create cohesion with the dining table. Don’t forget the placards to identify the dishes. Bon appétit!

HAVE A KIDS’ TABLE If you are hosting some tiny guests, they will thoroughly enjoy their own, special dining experience with other littles.

Use white butcher paper and crayons as the tablecloth to keep them entertained. Skip the fancy china and opt for high-end plastic or paper plates, so their parents won’t be panicked at the thought of breakage of your family heirlooms. If possible, have some kid-friendly food available, in case you have picky eaters who aren’t game to try what’s on the main menu.

If you have an extra room without breakables, fill it with toys. Play a movie they’ll love or make them their own playlist of kid-friendly tunes. It’ll give them a chance to bond while their parents get a much-needed break with other adults.

DON’T FORGET THE ENTERTAINMENT A few good party games can carry your Friendsgiving into the night with joy and laughter. Have a few of your favorites at the ready, or ask a few friends to bring theirs.

If your crew is more into music than games, consider a karaoke machine, or having a few musical instruments in the mix – like a piano or keyboard, a guitar, maracas or a cymbal. If you’ve got a friend with a particular musical talent, ask them to share it with everyone, ahead of time, so you don’t put anyone on the spot. Make some music – and some lifelong memories together. •

SEEDS OF

CHANGE M A K I N G A D I F F E R E N C E W I T H M U S TA R D T H AT M AT T E R S RYAN VOSS WAS ONCE young and adventurous, living life on the edge during the day and working to pay for those adventures by night.

The 52-year-old recent Redding transplant was also a spiritual learner and thinker, taking the best teachings from a spectrum of religions and philosophies.

But, ironically, he hadn’t heard the Parable of the Mustard Seed until years after a mountain bike accident left him a quadriplegic.

The Biblical teaching talks about how the tiny mustard seed grows into a large bush capable of sustaining and supporting other life.

Voss is literally living the parable as the creator of Mustard that Matters, a homemade gourmet mustard he makes, distributes and sells throughout Northern California, including at Enjoy the Store. His business also gives back part of its profits to help others in wheelchairs start their own businesses.

“Man, I’ve lived a great life,” Voss says. “I worked at night and played during the day. I travelled and did all the things that people wanted to do. L.A., San Francisco, Tahoe, Greece, I lived 38 years of a glorious life.”

Voss speaks matter-of-factly of that fateful day when he crashed his bike and knew instantly his life would be different.

“The beautiful thing is I’d trained for it,” he says of his inevitable mortality. “I had studied the great teachings for many years, simply because I knew I’d age and wouldn’t be able to continue with my lifestyle. It was inevitable.”

Those lessons helped him “deal with that change, adversity and have the wherewithal to accept things without pain, regret or madness and frustration,” he says.

Lying on the ground, Voss could only move his head, his hands curling up into fists. He decided he would jump up and assess his injuries. He couldn’t.4

continued on page 26

NOVEMBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“I knew from being a lifeguard when I was young that I had a spinal cord injury,” he says of his C-5 injury. “I told my brother, ‘Grab my head. I broke my neck and life is going to change.’ ” He thought, not regretfully, about his career in the restaurant industry being over.

“I figured the powers-that-be were saying it was time for me to sit down and check out life from another perspective,” he muses.

Voss spent time in the intensive care unit before entering rehab where, one day about two months after the accident, he was able to move his thumb. The next day, Voss turned his wrist.

“I (now) have good use of my upper arms,” he says. “The right hand doesn’t work so well, but the left has about 50 percent function and I have about 10 percent of able-bodied strength in my arms.”

He’s capable of using the phone, feeding himself and other things that allow him to be “somewhat independent.”

Lacking physical skills to earn a living, Voss worked with CCC students, teaching them basic math skills in order for them to earn their diplomas. He also volunteered at the library, teaching people to read and working with ESL learners, before venturing into working on end-of-life care and advance directives with a doctor he knew.

But he’d always told himself that when he turned 50, he’d start working – he never considered the life he’d previously lived to be work.

“I’d always loved mustard and wanted to stay in the food industry,” Voss says.

After two attempts, Voss, who moved to the North State last year from Napa County with his mother, Marjorie, and his brother and caregiver, Scott, knew he’d created the “best mustard I’ve ever tasted.”4

continued on page 28

“I didn’t know the parable until I started making mustard and started studying it,” he says.

“I just want to help others.

Everything is all connected so deeply and beautifully.”

“… Once people taste it, the moment they taste it, they want it.”

The mustard is a hit and Voss makes batches as needed, but just like the Parable of the Mustard Seed, he’s using his mustard to make a bigger difference – 15 percent of his profits go toward startup costs and advice for new businesses for those in wheelchairs.

“I didn’t know the parable until I started making mustard and started studying it,” he says. “I just want to help others. Everything is all connected so deeply and beautifully.”

Meanwhile, the mustard is a hit, not only for its taste, but its presentation. High-end glass jars bought in Alameda give the product a distinct gourmet feel to accompany the product made from Canadian mustard seed, apple cider vinegar from Sebastopol, Cabernet Sauvignon, balsamic vinegars and water.

“I ground all the mustard seeds, releasing the oils in their freshest state,” Voss says. “I understand food and acid balance. Once people taste it, the moment they taste it, they want it.” • www.mustardthatmatters.com

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STEM CELL TREATMENT CENTER

L. Robert Ghelfi, M.D. 530.276.0376

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:

I’m an immigrant. I was born in Germany

and came over with my mom, who loved to sing and is my inspiration. In my senior year of high school, I decided to go to Shasta College. My first semester was really music-heavy, but it gave me the confidence and work ethic to excel in my academics. I stayed at Shasta College for three years and then transferred to California State University, Stanislaus, where I graduated in just two years thanks to my training and experience at Shasta College. From there I was accepted to grad school at the New England Conservatory of Music, one of the top schools in the nation, where I received my master’s degree.

Rafael Shasta College Knight, 2012

With the help of an agent in Germany I spent 2 months singing for as many people as I could throughout Germany and Austria. Thanks to this experience I am now moving to Austria for a 2-year contract with the State Theater! I will be doing shows with 4 other singers (I’m the only tenor) and I’ll have many lead roles. It is really exciting and crazy! Part of me always hoped that I would be here one day, but now it’s real and all thanks to teachers like Liz and Robert Waterbury, Richard Fiske and the entire music department at Shasta College.

W R E AT H E D IN HONOR R E M E M B E R I N G V E T E R A N S W I T H W R E AT H S A C R O S S A M E R I C A THE HOLIDAY SEASON is here, and while for many that means spending time with loved ones, it is also a season for many others who can only remember the loved ones they have lost. And every Christmas, a group of volunteers led by Charlotte Bailey is making sure that veterans buried at the Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo will be remembered no matter what.

Bailey has been working with the local chapter of the national organization Wreaths Across America for 10 years, following the death of her husband Alan.

“He was a Korean War veteran,” explains Bailey. “He and I decided this is where we should be buried, so when my husband passed in July of ’08, that Christmas I just wanted to do something for veterans. He didn’t make a big thing about being in the Korean War, but I did.”

Kim Chamberlain started the program when, according to Bailey, they used to make wreaths with live boughs,

“and that was fine when the cemetery was small, but now we’ve started using artificial wreaths because we could not make them all.”

When they switched from live to artificial wreaths, they only laid about 1,000 wreaths a year, but with about 300 burials annually, there are now about 2,000 wreaths that need to be laid. Bailey says she couldn’t prepare the wreaths without the help of her volunteers.

“I’m so thrilled with my volunteers,” she says. “A bunch of us get together the Thursday before the ceremony and fluff the wreaths because they’ve been in storage in containers on the property.”

Bailey and volunteers check the wreaths and bows and replace whatever is needed, but mostly they just have a great time. And obviously, they’re doing it for a great cause.

“We want each wreath to give due respect to the person,” says Bailey.4 continued on page 32

INTERESTED IN SPONSORING A WREATH?

Volunteers range in age, but Bailey says she is especially excited by the children who come both to fluff the wreaths and participate in the ceremony.

“We love the children because it’s an excellent time to teach them,” says Bailey.

With fewer American soldiers fighting and dying in wars, and since the draft ended in 1973, younger children are less likely to have family members with military service. That means fewer military deaths, down from more than 400,000 in World War 2 and approximately 58,000 in Vietnam to only about 4,500 U.S. soldier casualties as a result of the war in Iraq. Ultimately, the decline in U.S. military deaths is a good thing, but it also means more than ever, it is important to teach children to remember the veterans who have fallen, says Bailey.

This year’s ceremony is at noon on Saturday, Dec. 15. “It’s about a half hour long, but in that ceremony we get schoolchildren to write a short essay to talk about what veterans mean to them,” explains Bailey.

Following the ceremony, guests are invited to lay wreaths at every veteran’s grave. Individuals who have loved ones and family members buried at the cemetery are given the first opportunity to lay wreaths.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Bailey’s husband, which brings its own significance, but since she lost her home in the Carr Fire, and with it many of the physical mementos from her marriage, this year is especially difficult.

“Oh, you bet,” agrees Bailey. “My house burned down and everything in it,” including contact information for many past years’ volunteers.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2018

“I’ve lost all my records, and pretty much people my age out there prefer to be called. I would call them every year, and I always called on a Sunday when football was on because I figured they’d be home,” she chuckles, saying they usually replied with, “It’s about time you called.”

“So if you were a volunteer or if you’d like to volunteer, please call me,” Bailey asks.

But she’s not too worried, and if anything, knowing how the community has responded after the Carr Fire, she wouldn’t be surprised if she has more volunteers than ever.

“The most meaningful thing is working with the people,” Bailey continues. “We want to remember, honor, teach. That’s the purpose of Wreaths Across America.”

Bailey counts herself lucky, because as she says, “That’s what I get to do. We’re just a small part of something wonderful.”

Those who would like to volunteer or help lay wreaths the day of the ceremony should contact Bailey by phone.

And while this is a season to remember loved ones and family members, you don’t actually need to be family to remember; you only need to be thankful for their service. • Jordan Venema is a freelance writer and California native.

SPICE IS NICE O R E G O N C OA S T WA S A B I JENNIFER BLOESSER HAS some surprising news for sushi fans everywhere: that mint-green paste with the power to clear the sinuses with a single dollop probably isn’t wasabi.

As the CEO and cofounder of Oregon Coast Wasabi – Oregon’s only commercial wasabi grower and one of a half-dozen producers in the country – Bloesser knows the difference between fake wasabi and the real deal. Together with her husband, Markus Mead, Bloesser is working to make others aware of the difference, too.

The paste commonly served at American restaurants is a blend of horseradish, mustard, starch and green food coloring. Bloesser says real wasabi has a considerably more complex and vegetal flavor, similar to asparagus or artichoke hearts, with a pungent kick to make flavors pop.

“The fake stuff is modeled after real wasabi, it’s just missing all those other nice flavors,” she says. Fresh wasabi, which is grated into a paste just prior to serving, goes well with steak, chicken, oysters and other protein; white sauces; mashed potatoes; salad dressings; noodle dishes; and, of course, sushi.

“Chefs are experimenting with it. It goes with just about anything if you like a little spice. It’s a flavor enhancer like salt or butter. People tell us they’ve made cheese with it, all sorts of fun things. And it’s killer in Bloody Marys,” Bloesser says.

Oregon Coast Wasabi grows wasabi plants in greenhouses near Tillamook, Ore. The plants are rooted in gravel beds and watered from overhead emitters. They are slow growers and it takes about 24 months before the root stalk, or rhizome, is large enough for harvest. In the interim, the large leaves and leaf stalks can be harvested every couple of weeks.

While the rhizome is where the action is, all parts of the plant are edible. The leafy greens “are wonderful fresh, just chopped up in a salad or steamed like kale. I have someone who likes to put it in lasagna or substitute it for spinach in panakopita. They have a nice little spice but not overwhelming. The raw leaves have a little tingle, but if you juice them, they are potent,” Bloesser says.

Wasabi grows naturally in stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. Researchers believe the Japanese were first attracted to the plant for its anti-bacterial and4

37

anti-parasitical properties that helped protect against food poisoning when eating sashimi, or raw fish.

Wasabi is also believed to help prevent certain cancers, fight bacterial infections, reduce cardiovascular disease and ward off pathogens that cause influenza and pneumonia. “It actually was used as payment for taxes for a long time (in Japan) because it was so valuable as a medicinal component,” Bloesser says.

Bloesser was introduced to wasabi in 2003 when she attended an equestrian event in her native Pennsylvania and somebody was giving away wasabi plants. An avid gardener since she was a child, Bloesser accepted a couple plants and started growing them. “It kind of just mushroomed – or snowballed,” she says with a laugh.

Her interest in wasabi continued when she relocated to California’s North Coast for graduate school at Humboldt State University. She moved to Portland after meeting Markus, her future husband, and then some property became available on the coast.

“It’s a similar climate to Japan. The fog on the coast and the cooler temperatures are great for the plants,” she says.

They have operated Oregon Coast Wasabi for 10 years now and plan to grow the business and expand production.

“People want wasabi,” she says. Their customer list includes chefs across the country, specialty stores – a chocolatier with Vosges Haut-Chocolat in Chicago recently ordered some wasabi to use in dark chocolate wasabi truffles – and individuals interested in fresh wasabi.

Oregon Coast Wasabi’s virtual store sells wasabi rhizome by weight, starting at a quarter-pound, or enough for a dinner party. If kept damp and refrigerated, the rhizome will keep for about two months. Once the rhizome is grated into a paste, wasabi’s unique (and volatile) molecular compounds will lose their heat within 30 minutes, so Bloesser says it’s best to grate the rhizome just before serving.

Leaves and stalks are also sold by weight. Plant starts and growing instructions also are available. Bloesser says wasabi plants can be grown in the garden as long as they have full shade. The plants do well in pots with quality, well-drained potting soil. “It’s kind of finicky at scale, but in the garden, it’s pretty hardy.” • www.thewasabistore.com

LET THE

GAMES —BEGIN­—

F O O D, F U N A N D G A M E S AT THE WHEELHOUSE IN DUNSMUIR PUSH OPEN THE DOOR and step into the restaurant, and you’ll likely be greeted with the chatter of patrons enjoying their meal. The bustling of activities create an energy and excitement that is contagious. Patrons at tables discuss anything from weather to the delicious food.

Smells of bacon and bread swirl through the air.

The Wheelhouse is situated in the mountain town of Dunsmuir. The building itself is steeped in history – Alexander Levy, the town’s first mayor, moved his mercantile from the Rostel building into the Wheelhouse building after it was damaged in the fire of 1903. Since then, the building has been used for restaurants, galleries, flower shops and recently a vintage store. The Sacramento River winds through the canyon, and a tributary runs underneath this building. The Wheelhouse offers a glimpse of the clean, fresh “best water on Earth” as it flows to the Sacramento River under a glass enclosure built into the floor.

Partners and Wheelhouse owners Hannah Smith and Jon Dally named the restaurant after the classic saying, “in your wheelhouse,” referring to something being within one’s areas of competency. As for the quality of the food, Smith and Dally stick to a high standard. “Almost all of our food is house made, and if it’s not, we procure the best.

Everything we do is a labor of time and love.” This can be seen from the house-ground sausage and slow-roasted corned beef to the house dressing and hand-cut fries.

Dally claims his favorite is the corned beef hash, then says, “or maybe the chicken fried steaks. Both are amazing. We pound and batter every steak to order. It’s a real steak in there, not a frozen something-or-other.”

The uniqueness of the restaurant includes the activity of games. Board games, card games and the like line a wall in the restaurant. Dally and Smith operated a small farm growing organically certified garlic. The farm was off the grid, so entertainment was scarce. Board and card games became their outlet and a passion was discovered. “Most people don’t realize how far tabletop games have come over the years. The selection is endless, with thousands4

“We are all about building community. We love the idea of getting people sitting down and talking face to face again.

That’s how ideas happen and we are proud to be a part of that.” of games released every year. We have all the top new releases and all of your favorite old classics,” Dally says. “We are all about building community. We love the idea of getting people sitting down and talking face to face again. That’s how ideas happen, and we are proud to be a part of that.”

Dally credits the staff for The Wheelhouse’s success. “We have an amazing staff of service industry die-hards here who are so happy to help with all the fun little things we have going on. From the games to our commodities, we have something for everyone,” he says.

The Wheelhouse is a community collaboration. The Dough Bakery next door supplies most of the breads, and The Wheelhouse also uses products from Northbound Coffee

Roasters and Infinity Kombucha in Mt. Shasta. Some of California’s finest beers are also served, along with other regional varieties. LP Design at the end of the block prints all the store materials on a vintage printing press, while SLR Metal Craft created the metal train and sign hanging in the restaurant. “All of these people and all the amazing other folk are why it’s so incredible to be in Dunsmuir right now,” Dally says. “We are transforming this block together.”

Recently The Wheelhouse expanded to incorporate what once was the Brown Trout Vintage store. The previous owner Debra Day retired, and

Dally and Smith approached Nathan Johnston and Bryce Craig from Pusher Inc. about splitting up the space. This space allows more patrons to enjoy games, food and hospitality. The recently added pub trivia event takes place every Friday night at 6:30 pm.

Life is not all fun and games, but The Wheelhouse aims to provide just that when you need a break. • The Wheelhouse 5841 Sacramento Ave., Dunsmuir (530) 678-3502 thewheelhousedunsmuir.com Find them on Facebook

BETTER TO GIVE N O RT H S TAT E G I V I N G T U E S DAY WHEN NORTH STATE Giving Tuesday launched in 2015, Shasta Regional Community Foundation’s goal was to raise $150,000. The community responded with a profusion of philanthropy: $420,000 for local nonprofits. Donations came in so fast and furious they crashed the website at one point.

The annual day of online donating has continued to gain strength.

Last year, it broke the $1 million mark.

“It’s really, really inspiring,” says Amanda Hutchings, program officer for the philanthropic Shasta Regional Community Foundation.

North State Giving Tuesday returns Nov. 27, running from 6 am to 8 pm. It’s an opportunity to strengthen community through generosity – a one-stop strategy for supporting the good work of organizations in Shasta, Siskiyou and Tehama counties. Donors go to www.northstategives.org to select which organizations to donate to and how much to give. The nonprofits are searchable by name or by category, such as arts and culture, animals, education, environment, housing and recreation. Donations are made via credit card or e-check.

They can be scheduled ahead of time, beginning Nov. 13.

Among the 123 participating nonprofits last year were Friends of Shasta County Libraries, Haven Humane Society, Hill Country Community Clinic, Local Indians for Education, One SAFE Place, Shasta Family YMCA, Wintu Audubon Society, Lassen Park Foundation, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, Siskiyou Land Trust, Friends of the Mt.

Nutrition and physical activity are important parts of a healthy lifestyle when you have diabetes. Along with other benefits, following a healthy meal plan and being active can help you keep your blood glucose level, also called blood sugar, in your target range. To manage your blood glucose, you need to balance what you eat and drink with physical activity and diabetes medicine, if you take any. What you choose to eat, how much you eat, and when you eat are all important in keeping your blood glucose level in the range that your health care team recommends.

Becoming more active and making changes in what you eat and drink can seem challenging at first. You may find it easier to start with small changes and get help from your family, friends, and health care team.

Regular dental visits are also important. Research suggests that treating gum disease can help improve blood sugar control in patients living with diabetes, decreasing the progression of the disease.

Practicing good oral hygiene and having professional deep cleanings done by your dentist can help to lower your HbA1c.

If diabetes is left untreated, it can take a toll on your mouth. You may

You may have problems tasting food. You may experience delayed wound healing. You may be susceptible to infections inside of your mouth. For children with diabetes, teeth may erupt at an age earlier than is typical. Teamwork involving self-care and professional care from your dentist will be beneficial in keeping your healthy smile as well as potentially slowing progression of diabetes. Good blood sugar control will also help your body fight any bacterial or fungal infections in your mouth and help relieve dry mouth caused by diabetes.

Diabetes can be effectively managed when caught early. When left untreated, it can lead to potential complications that include heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve damage. The good news is you may be able to prevent complications by managing your diabetes.

CREATIVE

N I C O L E L AW E A N D H E R M I N E R A L & M E R I D I A N J E W E L R Y IT WAS A LONG, circuitous road that brought 29-year-old Redding native Nicole Lawe to her jewelry booth under the portico at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts during the annual Indian Market in Santa Fe, NM, this past August.

As she sold exquisitely wire-wrapped pieces of labradorite, chrysocolla and mookaite, her hands kept moving, weaving pliers around new gems, setting them just so in homage to the grandmother in California who inspired her to create and start a business in jewelry.

Lawe was part of a special exhibit of current and former students of the Institute of American Indian Arts, a Santa Fe art school that attracts students from across the globe. “There are a lot of international students there,” she says. “You’re not just getting a Native perspective, you’re getting perspectives from all over the world.” She graduated from the institute in

2017 after receiving her associate’s degree in liberal studies from Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kan. “When I was a senior in high school I was looking into art schools,” says Lawe, who earned her GED two months ahead of what would have been her graduation date from Foothill High School. The death of her father, Jackson Lawe, Jr., a Karuk native, at the hands of a drunk driver in Sonora that year set her into a tailspin of anger and frustration, as she traveled between Redding and Sonora dealing with the legal fallout of the event.

The early death of her father, combined with the fact that “I don’t really know a lot about my tribe,” caused Lawe to pay close attention to the route her older sister had taken to Haskell. “It was very helpful, feeling like I belong in the community,” she says of her experience there. “Some of my best friends are from Haskell.”4

continued on page 52 NOVEMBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

While Haskell immersed her in an exploration of heritage, the Institute of American Indian Arts combined that cultural immersion with the path she’d felt a calling to, but hadn’t fully explored yet, a serious study of the arts. Since high school, she says, “I always made sure I had an art class every semester and those were the only ones I was motivated to get up and go to.” Still, she completed a certificate program in phlebotomy, taking two years to explore that path.

When phlebotomy proved unsuccessful and uninspiring, she found her way to Santa Fe. “It was very much on a whim,” she says with a laugh. Once there, she applied to the Institute of American Indian Arts and immersed herself in the study of photography.

Her senior project was a series of graffiti photos called Urban Petroglyphs.

“It was about finding graffiti and how it changed a place. A lot of the places were in L.A. Some in Albuquerque, some in Denver. Another thing I like to do is find abandoned buildings.”

As she sold her jewelry at Indian Market, many of her friends from school were puzzled by her medium, thinking she was primarily a photographer.

“That’s the thing about being an artist,” she says. “You just have to create. It doesn’t even matter what you’re doing.” Jewelry making is an art she learned at age 10 from her maternal grandmother. “I grew up visiting her every summer and helping her at craft fairs,” she adds. She would visit the big Tucson Gem Show with her grandparents and now attends on her own to stock her business.

Today, settled into a beautiful life with a partner from Ohkay Owingeh, a Pueblo just north of Santa Fe, and their 18-month-old son, Kai, Lawe continues to create photographs and jewelry, while also serving as assistant manager of the famed Jean Cocteau Theater in Santa Fe, owned by George R.R. Martin, creator of Game of Thrones. Lawe oversees the bar, yet another place to infuse her creativity in the form of inspired cocktail specials. She also wire-wraps the collectible Game of Thrones coins that are sold in the theater.

She remains in close contact with her Redding-based mentor, Marlyss Johnson, a graphic designer who encouraged her from an early age, as well as her mom and stepdad, Sheri and Randy Barber, owners of Bikes Etc. in Redding. She is also nourished by close relationships with both her maternal and paternal grandmothers.

“In the end, I did go to art school,” Lawe says with a laugh, reflecting on the numerous twists and turns on the path that took her there. “And I got to move to Santa Fe.” • Mineral & Meridian • www.mineralandmeridian.com

GIVING THANKS

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

T H E I M PAC T O F C H A R I TA B L E G I V I N G

NOVEMBER IS THE MONTH of Thanksgiving, the month we observe gratitude in our lives. For most of us, this may involve a little effort – sitting still, reflecting, before finding we are indeed grateful for all we have, perhaps all we are.

However, for those whose lives have taken a turn from peril to promise, gratitude is here and now, shining in their eyes. Here are four such souls, who tell their stories of travail, and who give thanks to the service agencies they see as their salvation.

ALISON BASULTO ONE SAFE PLACE Friday, June 9, 2017 is a day Alison Basulto will never forget. Her husband lashed out at her again, and she knew that this time, she had to leave. She was in no way prepared financially nor emotionally, but there was no time to think about that.

“I was kind of panicked,” she says.

“I had four kids with me. We had to leave abruptly. I was afraid to go home.”

She went to One SAFE Place, a Redding organization that provides legal services, safety and emotional support to intimate partners, children and seniors affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.

Staff took her and her children in that day. They spent 70 days in a One SAFE Place shelter.

“You always had someone to talk to, day or night, and that was the greatest part,” Basulto recalls. “We had classes on boundaries, on healing.”

And heal she did.

“When I went in there, I felt so broken and so low,” she says.

“When I left, I felt I could accomplish anything.” While still in the shelter, she returned to Shasta College to pursue a nursing career.

She left the shelter to enter transitional housing, a home where her family could live at One SAFE Place’s expense for an entire year. That term has expired, but she’s staying in the house. “I’ve taken over,” she beams. “I’m so excited.”

Basulto believes there was no way she could have left her abusive husband without One SAFE Place. “No way!” she exclaims. “I am so grateful to all the advocates who could look at me and see I was having such a hard time. Thank you for saving my children and giving me a better life.”

MISTY HEAD NORTHERN VALLEY CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICE Misty Head was 18 when her parents tossed her out of the house, an act that forced her to learn about life quickly. “I became homeless,” she says. “I was couch surfing, which is not as bad as it sounds.”

She eventually moved into a lowincome apartment, where she now lives with her fiance, Doug, and their 1-year-old daughter, Abigail. As a new mother, Head sought out assistance from social service agencies in Redding. Then she discovered the Teenage Pregnancy and Parenthood (TAPP) program offered by Northern Valley Catholic Social Service.

“The other programs were limited,” she explains. “One is for the baby, one for moms. TAPP will help me with everything. They will take you to the doctor, or to the grocery store. It really helps lowincome people.” She also receives clothing and various baby needs that were donated to the program.

Her worker even came to her home and helped her set it up. “I had no idea how to arrange for all this,” she says. “My old bedroom was as big as this living room. I didn’t know how to live in a one-bedroom apartment.”

Head has also benefitted from advice she’s received from the program. “It makes parents more aware. It helps me to be not only a better mom, but a better fiancé and a better housekeeper.”

She says since she’s not struggling to survive, she’s planning to go back to school, maybe get training for working with children or the elderly.

“I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without TAPP,” she says. “They help you achieve good things. They’re just going to improve you.”4

DINIEL JARAMILLO GOOD NEWS RESCUE MISSION When Diniel Jaramillo became homeless in Redding, she carefully selected a place to shelter where she could see the Good News Rescue Mission. From her bedding beneath an overhang scarcely a block away, she struggled for a month to gather the courage to enter the program there, which she knew would be the best chance of her ever getting her children back.

“But I wasn’t ready to quit drinking,” she says. “I wasn’t ready to surrender. I wasn’t humble enough to sleep on the floor with other homeless people. I thought I was better than that.”

She found strength in one particular feature on the Mission building. “I could see the cross lit up at night,” she recalls. “I have a strong faith, and that meant there was hope for me.”

She needed that hope. It had all happened so fast. In September two years ago, she was driving to the Bay Area, desperate to collect on a loan she made, money she needed for motel rent. Then she and her four children, with other adults, took a road trip, passed around alcohol and got pulled over.

“I was charged with child endangerment,” she says. “I sat in jail for six days in Colusa County. Shasta County contacted me while I was in jail. They told me my kids were being fostered out.”

They also told her about the program at Good News Rescue Mission. After she worked up the nerve to enroll, she entered a twoweek pre-program, where staff assessed her abilities and her needs.

Then came the program, an 18-month residential, Christ-centered recovery program.

This included boundary class, counseling, mindfulness and the Genesis process. “That’s where you get to the root of the problem,” she says. “You learn that alcohol is not the solution. Honesty is the solution. Jesus is the solution.”

The world began to open up for Jaramillo. In January, she landed a job at a convalescence center. In May, she graduated the residence early to move into a house, a rental arranged by staff at the Mission.

They also surprised her with an extra gift. “They handed me a car,” she says, eyes shining.

Today, Jaramillo still lives in that house, with her three remaining minor children. Today, she’s 20 months clean and sober. Today, she says she feels grateful, blessed and wants to give back in kind.

“I’m praying that I will be able to go back and work there,” she says.

“I want to be the guest services manager, if it be God’s will.”

CHRISTIAN BAKER EXODUS FARM Throughout grade school, up until sixth grade, Christian Baker had serious problems with trust. He didn’t trust staff. He had no patience with people. He became bored doing the same thing, over and over again, day after day, with no relief in sight.

“You could say I’ve made a few wrong choices,” says Baker, now a high school freshman at Redding’s PACE Academy, which he once called a reform school. But in sixth grade, the troubled young man found something that made life worthwhile: Horses.

He was approached by members he knew from Elevate Camps, a Christian organization dedicated to providing affordable summer camp for churches. They told him about Exodus Farms.

“They said, ‘Do you want to learn about horses?’” he recounts. “I’m a city boy, and horses seemed like a mythical creature to me. It was the first time I’d ever seen a horse.”

He attended a one-week horse camp, then settled in with weekly visits to Exodus Farms, where he enjoyed all aspects of an equestrian life – grooming, feeding and shoveling manure and, of course, riding.

“When you are working with something bigger and stronger than you, you learn that you have to be able to make it trust you,” he says.

“You have to get the horse to trust that you won’t get it wrong, and you have to trust the horse not to throw you.”

As he learned how to get along with horses, he learned how to get along with people. He learned to trust. He learned the importance of patience. At school, his grades went up.

“Life generally became easier,” he says. “It’s just been a blessing.

I want to say ‘thank you’ to staff. They’ve helped me and changed my life immeasurably.”

Problems with authority aside, as Baker says, his newly-found esteem enabled him to take a step that would change the lives of others. “I went to the school principal with the idea to change to a charter school. A reform school is for people who don’t fit in. A charter school is for those who do.”

Last year, PACE Academy changed from a community day school to a charter school. Administration says Baker’s was the loudest voice for the change. •

“Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?”

– Henry Ward Beecher

P E R U S I N G U S E D B O O K S TO R E S I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E THERE’S AN ANTICIPATION brought on from entering a secondhand bookstore. You never know what to expect. Suspense?

Romance? Adventure?

An enticing comfort lives within these walls of literature, hushed but present. Your senses awaken as you pass through seemingly endless rows of books. Excitement is found in the spellbinding decay of an old but beautifully etched binding, in the lull of slipping a book from its shelf to nestle in your palm, as nostalgia leaps within you at the sight of a book once forgotten.

Eyes brighten as though you’ve recovered a long lost treasure of old.

The scent of times past is released as you gently thumb through its chapters, for not only does this book contain a story, but sweet memories that dance about with each turn of the page. Here, amidst the shelves of novels, fairytales and fiction, you are in the company of old friends.

Used bookstores offer a unique experience – the promise of a treasure waiting to be unburied, waiting to be opened and set free.

These establishments are not retirement homes for books, but rather places of new beginning, where books are rediscovered. Bibliophiles can search for long-lost titles and childhood favorites, and parents can bring their children and open their world to the “secret” society of book lovers. Abandoned books are given new homes, purchased by

owners who cherish the minor bends and gentle scuffing on their corners, the yellowed pages and handwritten dedications inked within their covers. Such history adds a romantic mystery.

And like the life of such books, you too may find yourself in need of revival, stuck in an unambitious rut and in want of inspiration or growth. So, go. Search. Find that story that invokes adventure, that mystery that provokes your thoughts, that biography that inspires and motivates you. A bookstore may be just what you need – just the place to rouse your soul out of slumber, to find a treasure that just might change your life. To start your journey, here are some enticing secondhand bookstores that are worth exploring: CAL’S BOOKS • 5242 Westside Road, Redding Cal’s Books is a bibliophile’s dream. You’ll be in awe of the vast selection of books stacked from floor to ceiling; it’s quite the adventure, a maze of wondrous shelves stuffed with collections of every book ever written (or so it seems).

LISA’S BOOK NOOK • 4030 Railroad Ave., Redding An eclectic setup, Lisa’s Book Nook doesn’t just offer a brilliant selection of books, but also handmade treasures and unique gifts.4

SHOWTIME

C O M M A N D E R C O DY TO P E R F O R M AT F E AT H E R FA L L S C A S I N O GEORGE FRAYNE (Commander Cody) is one of the truly unique and free spirited figures in the American music scene. He and his Lost Planet Airmen were key players in the development of the American roots music movement.

Behind their hard-drinking and deep-toking image, the Commander’s various bands have always played a virtuosic, revved-up assortment of rock, Western swing, country, rockabilly and truck-driving songs, always held together by his raspy singing and boogie-woogie piano playing.

Frayne grew up in Brooklyn and during the summers he was a lifeguard at Long Island’s Jones Beach, where he performed with an alllifeguard band called the Lorenzo Lightfoot A.C. & Blues Band.

After graduating, he and some college friends formed the Lost Planet Airmen, which played

around Michigan and Wisconsin while he christened his onstage persona after Commando Cody, Sky Marshal of the Universe, from a 1952 film, “The Lost Planet Airmen.”

“It all started innocently enough,” he recalls.

“We had a little five-piece band. The thing about fraternity bands is you don’t practice; practicing is unmanly. You listen to the records you like and go over it in your mind, and go to the gig and drink a fifth and just play.”

When the band learned about the musical scene in San Francisco, they moved there, just in time for the Summer of Love in 1969.

Cody and the Airmen became first choice for music fans, to play at all sorts of happenings and be-ins. Their live sets became lengthy affairs with the band having up to 30 people on stage at one time.4 continued on page 66

“We were playing stuff that we liked, stuff that came from all over the place; we didn’t think we were coming up with anything new, we just liked a lot of different stuff and didn’t see any reason not to play it all. I mean, we were the last band to back up Gene Vincent (pioneer of rockabilly music) before he died. We played with Bob Wills’ band. We played with jazz guys from way back. I played boogie-woogie with Les Paul and the guys from his band. We opened up for Led Zeppelin. We went on between the Chambers Brothers and Alice Cooper at the Spectrum. We went on between Slade and Sly Stone out in Fresno in front of 50,000 people. I did a gig with Howlin’ Wolf and Steve Miller, where Wolf came riding out on a Vespa scooter. So from that kind of standpoint, I couldn’t have had it any richer then what it became.”

Their debut album, “Lost in the Ozone,” mixed originals like “Seeds and Stems” and oldies, notably a hit remake of Tex Ritter’s “Hot Rod Lincoln.” The follow-up “Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers’ Favorites” was recorded on four tracks for a mere $5,000. They toured through the early ‘70s and had two more minor novelty hits, “Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar” and Ritter’s “Smoke Smoke Smoke,” before leaving Paramount to sign with Warner Brothers.

The band’s Warner debut album included Cody’s last big hit, “Don’t Let Go.” After a 1976 European tour, the Airmen disbanded, but Frayne retaining his stage name and continued with a solo career. Since that time, he has recorded as “The Commander Cody Band” as well as “Commander Cody and his Modern Day Airmen.”

He moved back to New York in 1997 and continues to record and tour with an ever-changing lineup of Lost Planet Airmen, drawing crowds at festivals, biker conventions, colleges, road houses and bars. He also performs as pianist extraordinaire on The Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise extravaganzas.

As an acclaimed visual artist, Frayne’s work has been exhibited in galleries around the world. He holds a bachelor’s degree in design and a master’s in sculpture and painting.

He’s a student of cinematography, and has a video (Two Triple Cheese Side Order of Fries) in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent video archive.

His table top book, “Art Music and Life,” was released in 2009. It contains pop-art portraits of music legends from Willie Nelson and Jerry Garcia to Sarah Vaughan and Charles Mingus. It also showcases both abstract and still life works along with elaborately painted sculptures. • Commander Cody Nov. 11, Feather Falls Casino, Oroville www.featherfallscasino.com/entertainment/

TRUNK

OF TREASURES T H E H O P E C H E S T A N D F A M I LY COUNSELING CENTER IN RED BLUFF

AT THE CORNER of Breckenridge and Grant streets in Red Bluff stands a behemoth of a thrift store beloved by the community not only for its sweet deals, but the purpose it serves its neighbor, the Family Counseling Center.

Both the Hope Chest and Family Counseling Center were founded in 1965 to meet the counseling needs of community members, particularly those with low income or without insurance. “We do all kinds of counseling as far as working with families and teens, children and adults,” says Director Hilary Lindauer Vasey. “A lot are covered by Medi-Cal, but a lot of them are not and fall through the cracks. We see them at a very reduced fee, $10 to $20 a session.”

“We’ve been in business 53 years,” says Lucretia Betts, a 14-year volunteer at the Hope Chest and president of its Board of Directors.

Betts’ mother, Maude Hermetet, was a Hope Chest volunteer until her death at age 96. “When I retired from Blue Shield, she insisted that I have something to do,” Betts says with a laugh. “Even though I have nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.”4

continued on page 72 NOVEMBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

71

“We’re like a family,” she says of the team. A few members have been there since the 1980s and have 30 years in as volunteers. It’s more than a familial connection to the place that motivates her, however. “I understand from past experience how difficult it can be to get help if you’re very low income,” she says.

“There’s a huge need for counseling in Tehama County,” adds Ann Houghtby, who sits on the boards of both organizations and serves as the Hope Chest’s treasurer. “There’s not a lot of options for people, especially low income.” Government services are strained and chronically understaffed, as is typical of many rural communities. Private services are also lacking and usually

too expensive for people who are financially stressed.

The Hope Chest owns the building it is housed in and the building next door, which it provides rent-free to the Family Counseling Center to provide services. It is able to maintain the building and offer $2,500 per month to the counseling center so it may see low-income clients. The two organizations were created simultaneously so the Family Counseling Center could always have a source of income. “It was very forward thinking,” says Vasey.

“It’s a good relationship,” adds Houghtby. “We work closely together.”4 continued on page 74

“WE HAVE ONE PERSON THAT DOES NOTHING BUT CHRISTMAS ITEMS YEAR-ROUND,” SAYS BETTS, WHO EAGERLY AWAITS THE BOUTIQUE’S OPENING EACH YEAR.

“WHENEVER SOMEONE’S SHOPPING THERE, THEY’RE HELPING SOMEONE POTENTIALLY GET THE THERAPY THEY NEED WHILE GETTING A GOOD BARGAIN.” The Hope Chest’s service to the community doesn’t stop with the Family Counseling Center, however. It’s become a place for victims of fire and other tragedies to pick up free goods to get them back on their feet. They recently outfitted a man down on his luck to attend court. The store has also become a job training center for CalWORKs participants and select people on probation to complete their community service hours. The Hope Chest team takes particular pride in a CalWORKs volunteer they mentored who recently found full-time employment at a local grocery store.

This time of year, the big excitement of the Hope Chest is its Christmas Boutique, which opens this month in a large space on the second floor which is closed to the public otherwise. “We have one person that does nothing but Christmas items year-round,” says Betts, who eagerly awaits the boutique’s opening each year. The volunteer assesses all holiday décor donations, mends as necessary, and sets up a display worthy of the season. Ugly Christmas sweaters have become popular in recent years, and the boutique has a selection that won’t break the bank.

The Hope Chest is also a popular source of books, clothing, toys and DVDs. Many collectibles come through the shop via clear-outs of estates. “Most of the donations are in good condition,” says Betts. A volunteer checks everything with electrical parts, and makes repairs as needed.

Symbiosis seems to be a theme of the two agencies, as well as their place in the community. Donors to the Hope Chest often find themselves shopping there as well, so it serves as a place to discard what is unnecessary as well as find what you need. Says Houghtby, “Whenever someone’s shopping there, they’re helping someone potentially get the therapy they need while getting a good bargain.” • The Hope Chest • 1359 Grant St., Red Bluff (530) 527-0270 Family Counseling Center • 1347 Grant St., Red Bluff (530) 527-6702

WHAT’S COOKIN’

recipe NOVEMBER 2018

AUNT KERI’S SANTA FE CHICKEN & RICE SOUP SERVES 4-6

This month, we are featuring another recipe submitted by one of our readers. Jordan Atwell, a personal trainer at Adamson’s Peak Performance, is sharing a recipe that has been in his family for a very long time and was passed on to him by his Aunt Keri. It is perfect for our cold November nights, easy and ready in no time.

He says it is supposed to serve 4 - 6, but is more often finished off by him and his wife in one sitting. It’s easily doubled, which could leave you with leftovers for lunches or another dinner.

So the challenge is on – can you stop at one bowl? Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

2 T vegetable oil

1⁄2 large onion - chopped

1 clove garlic - chopped 1⁄4 to 3⁄8 cups rice, uncooked

6 cup chicken broth

1⁄2 tsp. cumin

4 whole fire roasted canned green chilies, chopped or one 7-oz. can chopped Ortega chilies

1 whole chicken breast, cooked and shredded (Jordan’s tip: Hand beater works great for shredding) Up to 3 cups water

8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes (Jordan says Sonoma Garlic Jack is the best, but the garlic or peppered jack cheese is good too)

2 avocados cut into lengthwise slices Pepper to taste Optional garnish: Chopped cilantro, green onions, tortilla chips and sliced jalapeños

78

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2018

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Heat oil in large soup pot. Stir in onion and garlic.

Cover and sweat the onions about 5 minutes over low heat.

Uncover and raise heat to medium. Stir in rice. When the rice grains look milky or opaque, add the chicken broth and cumin and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 25 minutes, or until rice is quite tender. The soup can be set aside at this point until 15 minutes before serving.

STEP 2: Bring the broth back to a boil and add the chilies, shredded chicken and pepper. When the soup is heated through, check consistency and add some of the remaining liquid if it seems too thick. It should resemble hearty chicken and rice soup, not a stew. Also, more onion, garlic, chilies and seasonings can be added to spice it up.

STEP 3: Place cheese cubes into individual serving bowls, pour soup over the cheese and garnish with avocado slices and any of the other listed garnishes. The cheese is gooey good and even a crusty bread works well for scooping up the goodness.

Why all the talk about more school reform, and “college readiness for all”?

Is it because student achievement is worse now, than it used to be?

No! The national high school graduation rate has steadily increased from 9% in 1910, to over 70% in 2012. California’s graduation rate was 82.7% in 2017 (Shasta County 87.2%).

Is “the whole child” and having “fun” at school not considered important?

Yes, these values are more important than ever as we reach out to engage all students in learning. High schools offer a variety of career technical education pathways, music, and agriculture courses in addition to after school programs in athletics, school clubs, and tutoring in order to provide diverse opportunities for student engagement.

From 1973 to 2016 the number of jobs in America increased by over 70 million, yet during that same time period the number of jobs that required only a high school diploma declined by over 2 million. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, by the year 2020, 65% of all jobs will require some form of post-secondary education. It is crucial that our students be prepared to succeed in a competitive global economy that requires continual learning, adapting, grit, and the ability to work independently as well as within a team.

College readiness for all is a necessary approach in meeting the world’s demands and expectations of our young adults. The quality of education that our students receive has more impact upon their employment opportunities and compensation than it ever has had in the past. In order for our schools to support employability and the social economic health of our students, educators and parents must work together, holding high expectations for educational/work readiness outcomes.

GIVING BACK | BY EMILY MIRANDA

FIND A WAY

S I M P L E “ N O P R E S S U R E ” WAY S T O G I V E B A C K GIVING BACK to the community can be a bit overwhelming – an extra add-in to an already busy schedule. And yet, there are always those folks who somehow, despite their hectic schedule of balancing career and family, still find the extra time and money to volunteer and give.

But giving back doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Every act of kindness doesn’t need to resemble some grand gesture of giving. Here are five “no-pressure” ways to give back to the community.

1. START WITH FAMILY. Some may picture needy strangers in connection to volunteering. But, before considering community outreach as an act of service, consider the needs of your family first. Showing the people who are most important to you just how important they are speaks volumes. If you notice your

spouse overwhelmed with the pressures of work and home life, offer to help out where you can: volunteer to help with dishes, drive the kids to school, mow the lawn.

Maybe you have an elderly family member struggling with loneliness or mobility. Offer to stop by once a week to drop off groceries and give them company. You may be surprised how these simple acts of kindness can uplift the human spirit for the both of you.

2. HELP OUT AT SCHOOL. Educators, coaches, school librarians and other staff members often need help. Children need to be surrounded by role models who show a caring interest in their lives, and who better than their parents? Whether you chaperone field trips, help coach a sports team, teach an elective or monitor4

recess activities, your efforts won’t go unrecognized.

You’re not just helping out the school; you are investing in your child’s future, as well as being present in their life and the lives around them.

3. BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. Do you know your neighbors? If not, the first step is an introduction (perhaps bring over a plate of cookies). Invite your neighbors over for dinner or a friendly barbecue to get better acquainted. Look for common interests. Do they have pets? Invite them on morning dog walks, or offer to pet-sit next time they go on a vacation. If they have children, schedule a play-date with your own little ones, or offer to babysit so they can have a date night. For an even easier way to get involved, join the neighborhood watch program, and if your street doesn’t have one, volunteer to set one up. Knowing your neighbors builds a sense of trust and security within the community, giving you connection to those around you.

4. HOST A CHARITY YARD SALE. Now that you know your neighbors, collaborate on a neighborhood yard sale for the community, dedicating the proceeds to a local charity or family in need. Every household has items that can be donated to the yard sale. Offer to host the sale in your yard, or see if there are enough items to have a neighborhood-wide street sale. You never know, it may become an annual neighborhood event.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net NOVEMBER 2018

5. GIVE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. Tutor a student in your favorite subject or hobby. Students come in all ages. Seniors are especially in need of learning computer, smartphone app and Internet skills. The younger generations are in need of general life skills, such as cooking, sewing, gardening and car mechanics.

Try mentoring someone you know and encourage them to pass on the knowledge. You could also teach literacy to adults. Not only are you expanding their outlook on life, but these skills can be life changing, opening up more opportunities for their future.

Put simply, giving back is valuing people. It shouldn’t have to be overwhelming or intimidating. When you give your time to help someone, you’re making a difference. When you make time for the people in your community, not only does it make them feel important, but they also see you as important, in turn. •
