DON BURTON

Radio DJ - K-Shasta 104.3

my town: one of the best

Photo by MC Hunter Photography

A

lthough I’ve lived in other places, including Sacramento and Boulder, Colo., Redding will always be my town. I was born right here in Redding in the summer of 1967. (Yes, the “Summer of Love”.) Growing up in Palo Cedro was as good as it gets. I’ve often said that I had the perfect childhood. At 8 years old, I got my first motorcycle. I’d ride with friends through the open spaces above TBS Ranch only to stop for lunch, and head home just as the sun was going down. At 14, my love of riding turned to BMX racing and ramp riding, and I spent most of my free time on my customized Patterson BMX bike. Tennis was also a big part of my younger days, and sunny Redding is the perfect place to fall in love with the game of tennis. My dad, Richard Burton, was one of the owners of Sun Oaks, and I spent a great deal of time playing on the youth competitive traveling team. I still play two to three times a week, and with Sun Oaks being part of some of my best memories, I feel like I’m walking into my childhood home when I’m there.

My family has a long history here. My grandfather Marvin founded Burton’s Shoes in Downtown Redding in 1943. One of the things I love about being downtown is when I’m on Market Street, I’m literally stepping right in his footprints from years ago. In 1976, the downtown mall was expanded by my dad and grandfather. It housed the famous Jimbo’s diner owned by Jim Albertson, which is now the Post Office Saloon (another project that my father was part of ). A black-and-white photo of my maternal grandfather, Redding postman Dan Halcomb, still hangs on the wall. To the left of the main door, I’m always proud when I walk by the plaque that reads “The Burton Building 1976.”

A moment of good timing got my foot in the door at K9FM radio in 1990 as the morning show intern, which eventually led to my dream job, a radio DJ. I’ve been on air since 1991 and found my true home 23 years ago as host of the morning show on K-Shasta 104.3. Eight years ago, I was joined by one of my best friends, Heather Ryan, to be my co-host and I couldn’t be happier. The North State has so many wonderful nonprofits, and we are proud to use the power of radio to help their many fundraisers. Along with truly “living the dream” on the radio, I enjoy getting away on my dual sport motorcycle. The areas to explore are endless. Also, the number of local establishments and festivals that support local music continue to grow, and I spend time singing and playing guitar in our band “FM Flyby.” Our area is also a wonderful place for honeybees, and I am in my fifth year as a beekeeper, with two hives in the Palo Cedro area.

Most of all, I’m most passionate about and proud of my kids. I’m surrounded by girls and I love it! I have my 27-year-old daughter Sydney, her two daughters, 5-year-old Ivy and 1-year-old Sparrow, along with my 14-year-old daughter Shayla, and I’m so proud to be raising them here.

From the mountains, trails, streams and rivers to the many friendly faces that support and care so deeply about our community, I believe that Redding is one of the best places on this planet to call home.

summer vibes B E A U T Y B A S I C S F O R YO U R SUMMER OF FUN WAIT FOR IT… it’s coming… that feeling. Like a sigh of relief after a stressful day, summer is here. Finally. The days are longer, the schedule less structured, the vibe more mellow. And frankly, we deserve it.

It’s been one doozy of a school year (take it from me), and we are all eager to be on the lake, at the beach or in a pool. The campgrounds are booked, the RV gassed up, and the family is ready for another summer adventure.

But before you hit the road, beach, or trail, here are a few tips and tricks to ensure you live your best summer life, while also taking care of your skin, so you don’t look as though you were left out on the lounge chair too long.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.

Never skimp on sunscreen. Makeup and facial moisturizer with an SPF is one thing, but you also need to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 to 50. These North State summers are hot and dry, so treat your skin to a broad-spectrum sunscreen. What that means is protection against UVA and UVB rays. Think A for aging, B for burn. You don’t want either! A broadspectrum sunscreen will help protect against both. Also check the label for titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone. These ingredients are the UVA heavy hitters.

Apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes prior to stepping out, and be sure to apply to all exposed areas of the body, including the back of the neck, shoulders, chest and ears, and always use a lip balm with SPF as well.

Think you apply enough sunscreen?

Hardly anyone does. The old rule of thumb is to apply a shot glass-sized amount. But since more and more of us use a more convenient spray version, be sure to spray close to the skin, moving up and down until you see a sheen, and then go back over it. For your face, apply a pea-sized drop to each cheek, your forehead and chin, then rub in. If you wear contact lenses or have sensitive eyes, consider using a children’s sunscreen on your face. The formulas are usually run-resistant, so they are less likely to get in your eyes.

Always check the expiration dates.

If you had the sunscreen last year, toss it.

Formulas will deteriorate and lose effectiveness over time, especially if exposed to heat. So if you leave your sunscreen outside by the pool, at least try to keep it in the shade. And if you are using the amount you should be using, a bottle should only last you a few weeks or so.

Final words about sunscreen: Be sure to check all side effects if you are taking any medication.

Almost half of all medications can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. And some prescriptions require you to avoid the sun completely, so be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Back to those summer vibes…

Summer isn’t all about sunscreen. Summer vibes can extend to your style, as well. Keep it easy and breezy, especially if you mostly stay local. We are rarely blessed with cool evenings here in the North State, but if you are visiting the coast or the mountains, chances are you will need some layers. And hats are always a good idea, not only for sun protection, but for style, too.

Hair is also susceptible to damage from the sun’s rays, so if possible, apply a leave-in conditioner and put your hair in a pony or braid. If you have shorter hair, try a spray-on sun protection or conditioner.

What you don’t need is a heavy, high-maintenance ‘do. Summer vibes are all about wind-blown, tousled, no-care hair.

celebrating 15 years in private practice

That goes for your makeup, too. Forgo the foundation (if possible) and opt instead for a lightweight tinted moisturizer. Depending on your comfort level going au natural, try wearing only waterproof mascara and some lip gloss.

Dust some bronzer on your cheeks and forehead, and voila! Easy, breezy.

My final tip for summer selfcare has to do with your feet.

I have seen far too many dry, cracked heels in flip flops, and toes that should not be left out in the open. This is a casual town, so more than likely you are wearing sandals nearly everywhere. So for the love of Pete, don’t neglect those feet. It doesn’t have to be an expensive pedicure to do the job. Find a foot scrub, pour some water in the tub, and scrub-a-dub-dub those calluses away. On nails, use a cuticle remover: Leave on for a couple minutes, then wipe away with a tissue. Add a base coat to nails and a color of polish that goes with your summer vibe (some people have a neutral vibe, others scream bright), add a top coat with an SPF, and you’re good to go. Free those feet! If all of that sounds too daunting, find a local nail salon and have a professional do it for you. I promise you, the pampering will feel glorious.

So there you have it: Summer beauty made easy. And isn’t that what the season should be about?

LEARN SOMETHING NEW WITH S U N D I A L TO U R S HER NAME IS Sundial Bridge. Turtle Bay Exploration Park tour guides will tell you her height is 217 feet, her length 720 feet, width 23 feet. They can recite the number of cables and the weight they bear, while pausing a tour in the middle of the span to invite visitors to seek the sensation of movement beneath them and to marvel at it. They delight in giving every visitor’s question an answer, and if they occasionally can’t, they enjoy the knowledge gained from finding it afterward.

“Don't know that one, I look it up,” says volunteer Kay Johnson. “I like to learn a lot of things. Sometimes I learn interesting tidbits from the visitors on the tour.

So, I get to learn something new and let everyone else know about it.”

“It's the education you get with the job,” agrees volunteer Zelda Evans. “There's so much you want to share. My first post – ever – on Facebook was, ‘I’m in love with this bridge!’”

These two women, both retired, are veterans of the bridge tour who came together as a team for the first one and fleshed all the information out from there.

Of course, a big question is, “Why do they call it the Sundial Bridge?” and it’s one for which they are always ready. “Kids these days don't even know what a sundial is,” Evans says with a laugh.

An operable work of art, Sundial Bridge’s towering pylon, tilting 41 degrees and aimed directly at the North Pole, serves as her shadow-maker, necessary to determine the time of day from the sun. Far below, this shadow crosses a partial clock face, an ornate arc of white cracked tile mosaic and brass that marks the hours between 10 am and 2 pm. Because of the orbit of our planet, the Sundial Bridge casts a right-on accurate time only one day per year.

You might want to check your calendar. June 21, the first day of summer.

“The time's not really that far off on the other days,” says Johnson, before guiding a class of third graders back toward a place where a cable connects to the deck.

“Who wants to hear a bridge sing?” She invites the kids to gather around the cable and press an ear to the nearly two-inch-thick braid of galvanized steel wire strands, each shaped like a Z, which interlock to keep out dirt and moisture. Then she taps the cable with a Turtle Bay-issued plastic rod that won't damage the wire.

The sound excites the youngsters. “It sounds like a laser!” cries one.

On her tour, Evans demonstrates another way the Sundial Bridge connects. “I can’t cross the bridge without hearing another language,” she says in a tone of wonder. “People come to see the bridge from all over the world.” As if on cue, an out-of-towner approaches her and asks if she would take a picture of the family.

Evans accepts with a smile and snaps a photo of the group. Immediately, they insist she join them in a picture. 4 continued on page 26

Look at it,

Johnson cites another international aspect. “I think it's really great the bridge is made up of pieces from all over,” she says. “The cables come from London, the glass panels come from Quebec, cracked tile from Spain. The bridge's creator is from Spain.” Then she will tell you about Santiago Calatrava, the renowned architect who envisioned, designed and oversaw construction of the Sundial Bridge, and the remarkable story about how it all came together.

This tour guide, a retired scientist, can detail the physical stresses and countermeasures built in to make the Sundial Bridge stable and safe, such as the expansion joints on each end of the bridge to allow up to three inches of increased length in warmer weather and a 12-inch bearing that not only supports the weight of the massive pylon, but allows it to pivot, compelled by the forces of gravity and inertia.

Evans, the guide who fell in love with the bridge at first sight, offers a more lyrical perspective. “Look at it, the grandeur of it. How could you not stop and look at it?” she says. “The simplicity, the power of it.

It's one of a kind. It’s amazing to have something like that in Redding.”

She stresses the environmental concerns addressed in the design.

“The glass is frosted, so it doesn't cast a shadow on the river. Otherwise, all that movement might disturb the salmon in their spawning

grounds,” Evans says, pointing to the aqua-green panels that fit into the deck. “Look closer, under the glass, and you can see mud nests.

Sometimes you can see babies in the nests.”

Johnson and Evans, as well as other volunteers, can tell you so much more. Regular tours are scheduled at 10 am the first Friday and Saturday of the month. Special tours can be arranged by appointment.

Sometimes, if they see someone who looks particularly interested, a guide may introduce themselves and offer to do what they love most to do, share what they know about the Sundial Bridge. • Sundial Bridge, connecting the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park 844 Sundial Bridge Drive, Redding (530) 243-8850 www.turtlebay.org

KEEPING THE MUSIC P L AY I N G W I T H S O U N D WAV E J A M PA D LIVE MUSIC IS such a big part of Donnie Red’s life that he was not about to let the pandemic get between him and his favorite form of entertainment. His solution?

Listen on the lake.

Red is the proud owner and captain of the Sound Wave Jam Pad, a mobile soundstage that’s equally at home on land or in the water. It’s a 30-foot pontoon boat outfitted with a rooftop stage, soundproof generator and a Bose public-address system.

Red, the owner of Northstate Tire and Wheel in Redding, says the Jam Pad inspiration came from conversations with his friends in the folk-rock band Sugarkane and Co. The musicians were bemoaning the lack of venues during the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic when bars and clubs were shuttered.

“We were thinking of social distancing options for live music, so I thought I’d try to put together this boat project,” Red says. “I thought I’d get a used patio boat and maybe put five grand in it to do something out at the lake.

It kept growing until what it is now.”

Rachel Shannon, a singer and instrumentalist with Sugarkane and Co., says the Jam Pad was also inspired by videos produced by Jam in the Van, the small company that visits music festivals and records artists in a solarpowered mobile studio.

“Around the same time, I got these Bose monitors with a four-hour battery life, so you can play anywhere. I thought it would be fun to play at a swim-up beach like Brandy Creek,” Shannon says. “I talked to Donnie and he said he got a boat, so we just ran with it.”

Red received a lot of help with the boat, including fabrication work by Steve Gannon, owner of Steven Gannon Chassis; Signarama Redding did a vinyl wrap; John Andrews provided paint; a spiral staircase accented with music notes was created by Tig Tech, Inc.; Tom Aboud with Shasta Wood Products fashioned the custom bar top and cabinets; and Mike Peters, Red’s son-in-law, provided the bulk of the welding.

Unique touches include a chrome snare drum serving as the cabin light fixture, a banjo motif for the helm and musical notes embroidered onto the barstool covers by Inked Up Graphics. The Jam Pad is powered by a Mercury outboard motor while front and rear thrusters make it easy to handle, even in the wind, Red says. A 3,000-watt generator in a soundproof cabinet (outfitted with fans to keep it cool) powers the Bose PA system. 4

The Sound Wave Jam Pad can be enjoyed at sea or on land.

5Donnie Red and Rachel Shannon 6Members of Sugarkane & Co. prepare for a gig.

The boat made its debut last July at a private party on Shasta Lake and made it out to Whiskeytown Lake for a couple of invite-only shows. It has been seen on land as well, including as part of a fundraising event for Friends of Whiskeytown in front of Woody’s Brewing Company last October, and as an entry in the Lighted Christmas Parade with a crew of disco singers onboard.

Earlier this year, at a dinner auction for the North Valley Cancer League, Red offered the Jam Pad as an auction item package that featured a tour of Whiskeytown Lake for two couples, followed by a five-course meal and jazz music by Honeybee in a secluded cove. The winning bid was $1,500.

Red says the Jam Pad will be busy this summer with a reggae show featuring One Sol inside Fall River Brewery ( June 18) and Whiskeytown Lake performances by The Brothers Reed ( June 10) and Ashley Flynn & the Riveters ( June 26). Red and Shannon are keeping the Whiskeytown shows low-key and invite-only with access limited to kayaks, paddleboards and boat.

Red says he has been working with Josh Hoines, the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area superintendent, on ways the Jam Pad can host larger ticketed shows on the lake. Hoines says he’s interested in continuing the discussion.

“I’ve seen the Sound Wave stage in town. It seems like a novel way to experience Whiskeytown. They would need to secure a special-uses permit, but I think there’s a path forward,” Hoines says. “I’m receptive to it. We just have to be sure we’re doing things in a way that are environmentally sensitive.”

For his part, on land or at sea, Red says “my whole inspiration is just to bring more music to Redding.”• Find Sound Wave Jam Pad on Facebook

D AV I D K R E L L ’ S RUNNING RABBIT MILLS

IT MIGHT NOT SEEM like the most obvious career trajectory to go from engineer to wheat miller, but that’s part of what makes David Krell of Running Rabbit Mills in Fort Jones so fascinating. After graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering and working for nine years “in the industry,” Krell eventually moved to Scott Valley in 1980 to work on his father’s alfalfa farm. “I just preferred being outdoors and figured I could apply engineering to anything, so farming seemed like a good fit.”

While on the farm, Krell did, in fact, put his engineering to use, building novel things like solar-powered wheel line drivers so he could water the fields with a remote control. But after two decades there, Krell wanted to try his hand at something new. For 10 years, he and his wife owned and operated the Etna Brewing Company in Etna, but in 2014 they sold the brewery and moved out to the east side of Scott Valley to grow wheat on some family property. “There was about 25 acres of farmable ground there, so I split it into three eight-acre parcels. I plant one of those parcels per year and fallow the other two parcels.” Since harvesting his first crop in 2015, Krell has only grown wheat on the land, so letting each parcel rest for two years between crops is important to the soil health. “Then, after I take the wheat, I farm all the stubble and put it back into the ground to let it decompose.

I guess you could say that’s my composting program,” Krell says with a chuckle.

Krell named his new venture Running Rabbit Mills because jackrabbits are a constant presence on the farm. “My wife helped me with that one. There are rabbits all over, especially at night.” The business sells three types of wheat. “I have the whole wheat, of course, and then I have sprouted wheat (for less gluten content), and then some people just buy the wheat berries because they'll do their own milling.” Krell also follows organic practices. “I’m not certified organic, but I follow the practice, no herbicides, no pesticides. And I do all the work. I plant it, harvest it, sort it, clean it, mill it, package and deliver it. I don’t employ anybody so it's 100% mine, start to finish.”

This small-scale process also allows wheat to be purchased locally at its freshest, with minimum dependence on fossil fuels. “When you say fresh, a lot of times the flour people are getting commercially has been in the process pipeline for a while.

A lot of grain is grown in the Midwest and Canada. It gets harvested, goes to a grain elevator then gets milled and then goes to a distributor. Then it finally goes to the store and the consumer, so it's quite a process. But because I'm right here 4 continued on page 34

and everything is done on the ranch, it doesn’t get transported very far. That minimizes the energy required for producing the grain, if that makes anybody feel better.”

Krell’s experience in mechanical engineering has helped him immensely in his wheat business. “It’s pretty handy when you have to modify anything, because you can just find old junk. For instance, small seed cleaners are really hard to find because people just don't do it that way anymore. So, I found an old cleaner over at Joe Hurlimann’s ranch and modified it. I put a new motor on it, new gearing, and so forth. So, unlike industrial production with expensive equipment, I have no major debts. And, because I don't use fertilizers or sprays, I’m basically independent and can do what I want.” Krell laughs as he adds, “I'm not getting rich off of this, but it's paying my bills.”

Krell also enjoys putting his own wheat to the test at home. After lots of experimentation, he’s perfected a bread recipe that he believes promises success to even the shyest of bakers. “The bread I bake at home is a no-knead recipe. I use my own sourdough starter rather than a commercial yeast, but I mix all the ingredients up the night before. Then, in the morning, after eight or nine hours of fermenting, I put it in a Dutch oven inside the oven at 450 degrees with the lid on to keep the moisture.

After about 35 minutes, I take off the lid and cook it for another 15 minutes, so it’ll brown. It's something that takes 10 minutes to mix and another 10 minutes to prep, and then just the cook time. For me, it’s ideal because I'm not the type of guy that wants sit there all day.” Ever the engineer, Krell laughs as he explains why. “It's gotta be efficient, right?”• Running Rabbit Mills • (530) 598-1160 www.runningrabbitmills.com

HOUSE, BEAUTIFUL C O P P E R & C L AY C O . I N R E D B L U F F WHEN CHARLENE AND KELLY Troehler landed in Red Bluff following Charlene’s husband’s CalFire promotion and relocation, it didn’t take long for them to get back in the entrepreneurial spirit of their home décor business. The daughter and mother-in law duo had developed a successful venture in Temecula which they’d sold prior to their move.

“We found this little space in Red Bluff and Kelly said, ‘Why don’t we just do this again?’” says Charlene. There could have been many reasons not to, including a global pandemic that was shuttering small businesses at an alarming rate, but as Charlene says, “When we decide to go for it, we go for it.”

An unexpected upside of the pandemic was that people were spending much more time indoors and paying closer attention to their surroundings. “We help people make a beautiful home that they want to go home to,” adds Kelly. “A lot of people were working from home.”

Copper and Clay Co. was born in October 2020 in a 700-square-foot space in downtown Red Bluff and is currently preparing for a move to a much larger downtown location in the former home of Wild Oak, which ended a multi-decades run at the end of 2021. “We’re just going full blast,” says Charlene. “The community has really backed us and we’re just very grateful for that.”

The move includes an extensive rehabilitation of the historical building and a determined effort to save the original flooring. “There’s not one space we haven’t touched,” says Charlene, noting that her husband Matt and father-in-law Jim are both adding significant contributions to the work, along with Charlene’s knowledge of restoration and a combined design aesthetic shared with Kelly.4 continued on page 38

“She has her own style and I have my own style,” says Charlene. “When we put them together, they literally make our business.” The business includes home décor, design assistance and courses in furniture restoration using Fusion Mineral Paints. Charlene and Kelly became the first California-based certified retailers of the Canadian paint brand after taking a five-day course in its use in 2005.

“It’s a mineral-based paint with high quality natural acrylic,” says Charlene.

“They use high-end, quality ingredients with colors from minerals. The top coat is built in and it’s self-leveling for nice finishes.” Charlene taught herself the art of furniture restoration while a stay-at-home mom when her children were young.

“The very first piece I ever restored was actually Kelly’s bookcase,” she says of the hobby that turned into a business venture. The pair sell paint at the Old Town Marketplace in Cottonwood as well as their Red Bluff location.

With the move to the larger location in Red Bluff, Charlene will begin teaching workshops again, which they are both excited about. “Our business in SoCal was actually built around teaching people how to paint,” says Kelly.

At the heart of their business is a respect for relationships, with both themselves and their customers and wider community. “We are a small, family-owned business,” says Charlene. “It’s my mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband and me.

And we have three kids.” Hailey, 13, Landon, 10, and Khloe, 8, have all spent time in the shop and added to its success.

As for those stereotypical tropes about in-laws not getting along, you won’t find them in this venture. “We actually do pretty darn well,” says Charlene of her relationship with Kelly. “She’s actually like a mom to me and that’s why it works.

We play off each other’s creativity, which is fun.”

“A lot of people are actually inspired by us but it’s not perfect,” says Kelly. “We have our boundaries and we have a respect for each other.” Adds Charlene, “We have just been in each other’s lives for a long time.”

While Charlene covers painting and teaching furniture restoration, Kelly focuses on community relations, making sure the store is supportive of local charities and community involvement. She’s on the Christmas committee for downtown Red Bluff, and gets involved in other events.

“First of all, we want to create relationships,” says Charlene. “We have an amazing support system with all the other business owners on Main Street. They guided us through the pandemic. We want to constantly support charities and other events in the community.” While she says they’ll spend a significant amount of time helping customers design their spaces and find what they want, they may not be4 continued on page 40

D U N S M U I R H A R DWA R E S TO R E OW N E R R O N M C C LO U D

IN AN ERA OF big box stores and online ordering, there’s a 128-year-old store in Dunsmuir where you can walk right in and buy that water faucet or gallon of paint from the guy who owns the store.

“We’re a vanishing breed,” says Dunsmuir Hardware store owner Ron McCloud. “In most communities, big box stores have overwhelmed the mom-and-pop stores. You have to come to a rural community like Dunsmuir to find a store like ours.”

But at 81, Ron is more than ready to hand over the keys to a new owner. In fact, the store’s been up for sale for the past eight years. So far there have been offers, but no qualified buyers. Ron intends to hang on until it’s sold, so he’ll have retirement money and so the town will continue to have its most important retail business.

Ron sits in his small back office, in the same swivel chair he’s sat in for the past 47 years, reflecting on his nearly half century in the hardware business. Within arm’s reach, on a nearby shelf, was the vintage Underwood typewriter the store’s previous owner, Jim Lockhart, used to type his monthly statements. The burn marks from Lockhart’s cigarettes are still there on the office desk. 4

Ron and his wife Pat bought the store from Lockhart in 1975. In some ways, it was a big change in their lives, in other ways a return to their roots. Both had been working in banking jobs in the Bay Area and had been immersed in big-city cultural life – the concerts and art shows.

But Ron had grown up in a small town in Nebraska, and Pat had grown up on a nearby farm. They had lived in a number of big cities while pursuing their educations and careers and, as Ron puts it, were starting “to grow disillusioned with the hectic, impersonal life” of the metropolis. They had two boys about to start school and wanted them to have that experience in a small-town environment.

Ron had grown up around small businesses. His mother owned a women’s clothing store and his dad a dry- cleaning business. He wanted a business that was hands-on, tangible, a nuts-and-bolts operation. In those first years, Pat helped out at the counter and did the bookkeeping while Ron did everything else to keep the store going.

There were a few bumps along the road. In 1994, a fire caused the store to close for six months while the interior was completely rebuilt. In 2015, an elderly lady mistook her gas pedal for the brake and rammed her car right through the front window and all the way to the counter in the middle of the store. That was another six months’ restoration job.

Then there was the COVID pandemic, which was good for the store – lots of purchases for home improvement projects by folks stuck at home – but not so good for Ron, who spent two weeks in a hospital in critical condition.

But through his nearly half-century at the store’s helm, Ron has put his personal stamp not only on the store but on the town itself. He is one of the founders of Dunsmuir’s Historic District and one of the leading

advocates for the preservation of its vintage buildings. He ran the annual Railroad Days event for several years. With Deborah Harton, he coauthored a book on the history of Dunsmuir. He has been on just about every civic committee that exists, or has existed, in the town.

His interest in history is evident in the store, which doubles as a museum. In a rear corner sits one of the spotlights that were used in vaudeville shows in the town’s vintage California Theatre. Back near his office there’s an old cigar store Indian. Near the front doors there’s a steam engine that was used to power pumps. Then there’s the horseshoe collection, the vintage beer can collection, the old railroad lanterns.

Dunsmuir Hardware is a central gathering place where news and gossip are exchanged. It’s a place where old folks who live alone can come and find someone to talk to, and in wintertime warm themselves by the wood stove. If you come at the right time, you can hear one of the store’s employees, Kevin Tynsky or Dylan Brockman, practicing on their guitars.

But it’s Ron McCloud’s cheerful goodwill toward his customers, his never-ending stories about the town and the people who live here, laced with his dry sense of humor, that have made the hardware store what it is.

It will be a tough act to follow. •

Tim Holt is a longtime journalist, the editor of the quarterly Northwest Review, and the author of “On Higher Ground,” a futuristic novel set in the Mount Shasta region. He lives in Dunsmuir, and is an avid cyclist and hiker.

The

SOUNDS OF SUMMER

T H E M O S Q U I TO S E R E N A D E S U M M E R C O N C E R T S E R I E S

THE MOSQUITO SERENADE began in 1982 with a man, a jam and a plan to make musical performances a staple at Anderson River Park. This year, the free summer concert series, one of the most popular north of Sacramento, celebrates its 40th anniversary.

In 1982, Harry Sippel was new to his role as the director of Anderson Parks and Recreation (1981-1999) when he and other city employees began playing music together at the park under the name the Clover Creek Rovers.

Although attendance was initially small at these performances held in the picnic area, Sippel and his partners chose to name their “concert” series The Mosquito Serenade, a nod to both their small size (“like a mosquito,” Sippel says) and the band’s purpose of “serenading the people.” The fact that a lot of mosquitos were present on an average summer night clinched it.

As the early events grew and expanded, so did Sippel’s vision of creating a permanent home for musicians and bands at the park. This would require money, construction and approval by the Anderson City Council, so Sippel kept his request simple. Rather than asking the city for the money, he instead sought its permission to “pass a hat” during performances to collect the donations needed to build a stage.

It worked. Donations from community members, local businesses and sponsors have funded facility improvements through the years – from the installation of a concrete slab to the addition of a covered stage, an amphitheater and a dance floor – resulting in the creation of the Anderson River Park Amphitheater, home to the Mosquito Serenade.4

Generous donations have also funded music artists from all over the country, hired to perform at the venue. And they have funded sound equipment, big screen TVs and now the installation of an LED wall for better viewing during daylight hours.

“We like to say that we are the hottest show in the coolest place on a summer night,” says Anderson City Manager Jeff Kiser. “We even have boats that pull up on the levee and listen to music right there.”

Kiser emphasizes the family-friendly nature of the event and says, “Some people come to dance, some come to listen to the music, and some come to see old friends and visit.” To ensure everyone’s safety, he says the Mosquito Serenade enforces only three rules: no dogs except service animals, no smoking, and no glass containers.” The Anderson Police Department provides on-site security.

Despite smoke from the Dixie Fire affecting last year’s performances and the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kiser is optimistic about the coming season.

“We’re back bigger and better than ever,” he says. “We really worked hard to make this season special and it’s one of the best lineups we’ve ever had.”

Country artist Pam Tillis will headline the final concert of the season on August 17. Kiser says she is probably the biggest name the

Mosquito Serenade has ever featured and is excited that she’s coming back to help celebrate the event’s 40th anniversary.

The concert series runs every Wednesday evening from 6-9 p.m., June 8 through August 17 (no show June 22) and features bands of all musical genres from around the country. “There’s a little something for everyone,” says Kiser, “and every week is different than the week before.” He estimates that each show draws between 2,000 and 5,000 people.

Concessions are available for those who want to have dinner and catch up with friends during the opening acoustic act.

“The city of Anderson is very proud that we’ve offered a free concert for 40 years,” says Kiser. “This wouldn’t be possible without our community members, our local sponsors and the businesses that provide the revenue that helps fund it.” • Find Mosquito Serenade on Facebook

ON A RECENT FRIDAY NIGHT, a handful of kids of all ages and their parents are gathered at the NorCal Boomtown BMX track at Margaret Polf Park in Shasta Lake City. Kids donning helmets and Fox Racing gear stand perched in one of the eight start gates at the top of the course, their anticipation high before the gates drop and riders pedal down into the dirt/pavement track. Racers furiously pedal their bikes, going off jumps and speeding around berms in their two or three laps around the track, as their families sit cheering in the bleachers above. Afterwards, kids show off their trophies and visit the snack bar as The Ramones blast out of the speakers in the middle of the course.

NorCal Boomtown BMX has been going for the past three decades, but the local chapter of USA BMX took a hiatus when participation waned. However, the next generation has come together to revive

NorCal Boomtown BMX and bring back the family-friendly atmosphere. Many board members raced when they were younger or now have kids who are interested in the sport. NorCal Boomtown BMX Board Treasurer Darlene Steiger has five children who have been racing since they were 6 years old. NorCal Boomtown BMX Track Operator Alycia Barrett has children who both raced; her 15-year-old daughter Briella is ranked number seven nationally and number one in the district.

“I raced there from when I was 14 to 16 years old and now a couple of us are on the board who all raced together; we all go way back,” Alycia says. The passionate former and current BMXers got the track back up and going again in 2020.

The pandemic threw a wrench in things for those first couple of

years, but it is now holding races twice a week, as well as regular practices. The BMX track in Chico recently closed, and its manager has been helping out at Boomtown.

The BMX track at Margaret Polf Park is a 1,000-foot downhill fast track, made up of dirt jumps and concrete berms. It’s considered one of the smaller tracks in California, appealing to more novice riders in the Shasta County region. Around 10 to 15 “motos,” or races, are held each night. Riders are put into classes depending on age and ability, and race two motos before advancing into the finals/main events.

The season begins January 1 and ends December 15, but it’s all weather dependent. At the Boomtown track, an average moto consists of around four riders (three minimum, eight max) and anywhere 4

Public Space

BY MEGAN PETERSON

“The night the lights came on for the first time I went over and cried a good, happy cry. It was magical to see my vision come true.”

T H E C R E AT I O N O F PA U L G A R R I S O N P I C N I C PAV I L I O N I N F O R T J O N E S FORGOTTEN AND UNUSED places in cities and towns present the perfect opportunity to reimagine public space and how it’s consumed. Such is the case with the Paul Garrison Pavilion in Fort Jones, where an old storage shed has been transformed into a community hub.

“The existing structure was originally an equipment shed used by the Public Works Department to store the dump truck and extra vehicles. Now, it’s a gathering place located next to the Little League field,” explains Michelle DeCausmaker, mayor of Fort Jones, who has been working since 2017 to take the barbed wire and chain link fences away and replace them with something inviting. “The night the lights came on for the first time I went over and cried a good, happy cry. It was magical to see my vision come true.”

As a focal point for the community, it’s only fitting that the pavilion is named in honor of Paul Garrison, a hometown hero and one of the most beloved figures in Fort Jones’ history.

Born in Canada in 1926, Garrison moved to Scott Valley when he was around 8 years old. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he returned to Fort Jones with his bride, Charmaine. The couple had three children, and Garrison became integral to every facet of the city. “He wore many different hats, including constable, chief of police for 18 years, a volunteer firefighter for 40 years, manager of the water and sewer into his 80s, the cemetery caretaker and a lifelong counselor for adults and kids. He was an all-around wonderful guy, and I wanted to honor a great man,” explains DeCausmaker. She adds, “When I would explain to people what we were doing, it always brought a smile and a story. Everyone loved Paul.”4

stresses or pressure may have been.

When the city decided to dedicate the pavilion in Garrison’s honor, DeCausmaker reached out to his daughters, Pauline Cramer and Shirley Spallino, both lifelong residents of Fort Jones. “When Michelle asked us, we thought it was wonderful,” explains Cramer. Spallino adds she was “humbled” by the request, though it’s not hard for either sister to come up with examples of just how much their father cared for his town and its residents. “When he was the chief of police, he still did the sewers and plowed the snow. He was always upbeat and never complained, no matter what his stresses or pressure may have been. He was also on call 24/7, so even on Thanksgiving and Christmas he usually got a call to help with someone's pipes, or unplugging someone's sewer, or whatever. Dad would just leave the dinner table and go help. No one at our table even said anything because it was just common knowledge that he would go wherever someone needed help,” Spallino recalls.

Cramer also remembers a time when there was a family driving through in a snowstorm and got stranded. “They were strangers, but Dad brought them home and they spent the night with us. That was just the kind of thing he would do.”

Garrison also had a strong impact on the youth in the community, especially during his years as chief of police. “On Halloween, he would let the kids be kids as long as they didn't break or permanently damage anything. But the next day he and the school had an agreement. The kids would get out of school the morning after Halloween and clean the town. Any vegetables or eggs that were thrown they had to clean up,” Spallino says with a laugh. His daughters also recall how often Garrison was a mentor, helping get the Little League park going and keeping local kids on the right path. Cramer notes, “He loved all the kids and if one of them got into trouble, he didn't haul them over to [the juvenile detention center] unless it was really, really bad. If it was a minor theft or something, he would put them to work around town painting the fire hydrants. Well, everyone in town knew that kid had been in trouble because he was out there painting the hydrant. But later on, so many of the kids would come to Dad and tell him, ‘Thank you. That was the best thing you could have done to keep me on the straight and narrow.’”

For DeCausmaker, Garrison’s legacy lives on every time people gather under the Pavilion. “Paul was all about his community, and in a way, he’s still there for them because the community gets to enjoy the Pavilion for birthdays, reunions and any of life’s celebrations and gatherings.” •

WITH 3,800 SQUARE MILES of territory, Shasta County is one very large outdoor adventure playground, and with a population density of about 46 people per square mile, the chances of running into crowds on your adventure outings are slim – especially once you wander off the beaten path.

Locals tend to take it all for granted, but we are reminded every time friends and family come to visit and we take them on a tour of the sites just how amazing our backyard really is. If you are visiting Shasta County and don’t have the zealous family members to take you around, here are some of the top experiences for you to explore:

feet above is a must-see. Allow for this experience to take up the entire day as you stroll through the beautiful forest trails.

1: Lassen Peak. Visible from 100 miles away, Lassen Peak is “the other mountain” that crowns Northern California, along with Mt. Shasta. Even though the peak of Lassen is at a respectable 10,400 feet, a great hiking trail makes it possible for (almost) anyone to conquer it.

Allow yourself 3 to 5 hours to get up and back from the Lassen Peak trailhead parking lot. The views are spectacular and the experience is top-notch.

6: Lake Shasta. Lake Shasta is actually a 30,000-acre man-made reservoir, but some locals use it as one of their favorite vacation spots, even though it’s only 20 minutes away from Redding. Use it as your local beach and to swim, waterski, camp and float around on the world-famous houseboats. If you are visiting the area for a week or more, spending a couple days lounging around on Lake Shasta will rejuvenate your soul.

2: Lake Shasta Caverns. Take a magical journey to inner-earth at Lake Shasta Caverns, just 25 minutes north of Redding. The entrance to the caves sits at 900 feet above Lake Shasta and you will take a boat ride across the lake before enjoying the guided tour through the jawdropping caves. Many thousands of visitors travel far and wide to visit this historical natural landmark every year.

7: Sacramento River Trail. At just over 12 miles from end to end, the Sacramento River Trail is the perfect trail for walking, running or biking, and with many enter and exit points, you can make it as long or as short as you want. The river trail takes you along the shore of the Sacramento River and past some of the most beautiful scenery, including the Sundial Bridge. The entrance at the top on Hilltop Drive is a great place to start if you’d like a bit of an ascent and descent, with the entrance at Sundial Bridge being the perfect spot to enter if you’d like to keep it more even-keeled. Spend 15 minutes on the trail, or the entire day – it’s up to you.•

3: Shasta Dam. Separating the man-made Lake Shasta from the Sacramento River, the eighth-tallest dam in the United States is located less than 10 miles from Redding and it’s easy to get to. Check out the visitors center, then stroll across the top of the giant 600-foothigh structure, surrounded by great California scenery. On the way back through Shasta Lake City, make sure to stop off at Heritage for a great cup of coffee.

4: Burney Falls. A scenic and twisty one-hour drive out of Redding later and you are in another world called McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, with the Burney Falls waterfall as the main attraction. This awe-inspiring spectacle of rushing water from 129

5: Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This is where locals go to cool down in the heat of summer. The recreation area encompasses just over 200,000 acres, sharing some with neighboring Trinity County, and features tons of trails and wildlife, and one of our favorite watering holes, Whiskeytown Lake. Located just 15 minutes out of Redding, Whiskeytown is the perfect getaway for an hour or two – or all day.

RECIPE

|

BY TERRY OLSON

signature —C O M B O — B ACO N B U R G E R D O G S

EVERY CHEF HAS a specialty – a signature dish he or she is proud to serve to friends and family. Over time, culinary artists experiment with ingredients, perfecting the recipe until it is their own unique gastronomical masterpiece. Julia Child was famous for her Coq Au Vin. Gordon Ramsey and Beef Wellington. Guy Fieri and his Dragon’s Breath Chili.

You don’t have to be a famous TV chef to create your own signature dish. Take, for example, my dad Ron, who had a passion for backyard grilling and the desire to create a recipe his six kids would crave. After some trial and error with the recipe, my dad perfected his pièce de résistance: The Bacon Burger Dog —a hotdog inside of a hamburger that is wrapped with crispy bacon!

No, my dad did not “invent” the Bacon Burger Dog – but Julia, Gordon and Guy didn’t invent their signature dishes, either.

The grilled gut bomb gained popularity when a famous/infamous 1980s TV dad also known for his Jell-O commercials showcased the concoction on prime-time television. For the record, my dad had perfected his recipe almost two decades earlier.

But the history of this tasty treat dates back to 1950 by the San Francisco husband and wife team of Bill and Billie Parrish. The Parrishes ran a mobile hamburger trailer

called Hot Dog Bills stationed near the prestigious S.F. Olympic Club’s Lake Course where they created the now-famous BurgerDog. Almost immediately, caddies began wandering off the course to purchase food for the members. Soon, the well-heeled private golf course invited the Parrishes to bring the hamburger trailer onto the property.

The late Herb Caen, San Francisco’s dean of three-dot journalism, dubbed the delicious hybrid delicacy the "him-burger." Justin Timberlake called it one of the best burgers he has ever tasted. When golf Hall-of-Famer Fred Couples plays at Harding Park, the public course next to Lake Merced, he sends a gopher to the Olympic Club to grab BurgerDogs. It is now a 70-year tradition.

I’m not saying my dad was the first to add bacon, but whoever did should win a James Beard Award for lifetime achievement. The hot dog/hamburger/bacon combination is the holy trinity of meats. Especially if you are a kid.

The Bacon Burger Dog is a Father’s Day tradition in our household. It’s not just an homage to my late father, I actually enjoy the process of preparing the meal – and I love the flavors. And, like my dad, I’ll be drinking a bottle of beer while manning the barbecue.

Happy Father’s Day! •

BACON BURGER DOGS Servings: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS • 8 slices of bacon (two per serving) • 1 lb. ground beef • 1 egg • 4 hot dogs (no need to get fancy; any basic, pre-cooked hot dog will do) • Salt and pepper to taste • Bamboo or metal skewers or toothpicks • 4 soft sandwich or brioche rolls

INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: On medium heat using a skillet or griddle, partially cook the bacon until slightly done. It should not be crisp. Set aside on a papertowel-covered plate.

Step 2: In a bowl, gently combine ground beef, egg and salt and pepper. Divide into four ¼-pound balls.

Step 3: Flatten the individual ground beef balls and carefully wrap each one around a hot dog.

Step 4: Take two slices of partially cooked bacon and wrap them on top of the ground beef.

Step 5: Secure the bacon on the burger dog with skewers or toothpicks.

Step 6: Using indirect heat, place the bacon burger dogs on the grill (temperature should be 350-400 degrees).

Step 7: Close lid and grill for about 30 minutes.

After 15 minutes, rotate the dogs and flip them over.

Step 8: Remove from grill and place on a sandwich or brioche roll.

Terry Olson loves culinary arts, adult beverages and hiking in the North State wilderness.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

DOWNTOWN DETAILS THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING DOWNTOWN REDDING BUSINESSES. Successful communities always have a plan for the future. The truth is, failing to plan simply means planning to fail. It is difficult to name any successful individual, organization, corporation or community that does not plan for the future.

Try to imagine a company that didn’t have a business plan. It would have a very hard time attracting investors or staying competitive in the marketplace.

The same is true of communities. A community plan is simply a blueprint for the future. People may differ on how to achieve the community’s vision, but without a blueprint, a community cannot know which way to go.

Some people don’t like change. But change is inevitable. Technology, the economy, demographics, population growth, market trends and consumer attitudes are always changing and they will affect a community, whether people like it or not. There are really only two kinds of change in the world today: planned change and unplanned change.

Communities can grow by choice or chance. Abraham Lincoln used to say, “The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.” Communities with a vision for the future will always be more successful than communities that just accept whatever comes along.

TABBOULI / TABBOULEH

www.EnjoyMagazine.com JUNE 2022

JUNE 2022 RECIPE Tabbouli preparation is different for everyone. This recipe is one that my Lebanese grandmother used to make when I was a child, and my siblings and I would make it with my dad all the time. We would always start the process looking for the bulgur.

This was the in the late 1900s and I don’t think online purchases were a thing. Now you can easily order bulgur online, but I’ve also had good luck finding it at Orchard Nutrition in Redding.

It’s a really nice summer salad because it’s so fresh and crisp – and healthy. It’s one of those dishes that’s even better on the second day.

And the tradition continues as I am now making tabbouli with my kids. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS: 1 cup bulgur, uncooked

DIRECTIONS: Pour boiling water over bulgur in a

2 cups boiling water

large bowl. After one hour, drain well

¼ cup lemon juice

a time to discover THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY'S D I S COV E RY S H O P

THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY’S Discovery Shops support the fight against cancer through the sale of high-quality, new and gently used merchandise donated by the community. Redding store Manager Debbie O’Connor shares with Enjoy readers some exciting changes.

ENJOY: The store was closed for much of last year but re-opened in February in a new location. What was happening during the transitional time?

DEBBIE: Our former shop on Churn Creek closed due to the sale of the shopping center. This afforded us the opportunity to choose a new location, and we were excited and fortunate to find the available building on Hartnell, the site of the former Home Consignment store. During the transition time between locations, we worked with the City of Redding and our contractors to plan our new shop.

Since the new space was an empty shell, we were able to plan everything from scratch. We believe we’ve created a wonderful space for our volunteers, customers and donors to support the American Cancer Society. It’s the perfect size and highly visible to drive-by traffic. Our new shop is 7,000 square feet, 2,000 square feet smaller than our former shop. The colors and fixtures are updated, fresh and hopefully provide our customers with a nice shopping experience.

ENJOY: One big change is the superior access to the receiving area for those who just want to drive up and drop off their donation. What prompted these changes, and how are they working out?

DEBBIE: The changes to the donation area were designed due to the layout of the building and the parking lot. We wanted our donors to have access to our building and make the donation experience easy, fast and enjoyable. So far, the new location is working out great.

ENJOY: I know volunteers play an important role. What opportunities exist for someone interested in volunteering with the Discovery Shop?

DEBBIE: Volunteers are critical to the Discovery Shop’s success. They receive, sort and price donations (as well as research the value of items), provide customer service, cashier, help with visual displays and more. Our volunteers helped us set up the new space before we re-opened to the public in February. As a volunteer, you help us raise funds for cancer research and free patient services. You are helping to save lives!

ENJOY: What else would you like people to know about The Discovery Shop, v. 2.0?

DEBBIE: We rely on donations from the community to raise funds for cancer research, free patient services, education and advocacy. Every purchase in our Discovery Shop helps in the fight against cancer. We are very excited about our new location and are here to serve the community of Redding. • Discovery Shops • 1313 Hartnell Ave., Redding • (530) 221-3970 www.cancer.org • Cancer hotline: (800) 227-2345
