AUGUST 2014 A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~James Dent The end of summer is quickly closing in, but there’s still time to enjoy the long days and warm nights before autumn arrives in earnest.

Have your kids started the “I’m bored” chorus yet? We’ll show you how to make your own chalk paint (fun for a back-to-school project). Or take a little road trip to Chico and treat the family to the North State’s most magnificent grilled cheese sandwiches, found at a place called Mayhem. Up north, the Sisson Museum provides a fascinating history lesson on the Mount Shasta region—a great way to dust off those brain cells before school resumes.

If Mom and Dad need a quick escape, consider a trek to the lovely hamlet of Whitmore, home of Dakaro Cellars. The boutique winery is part of a growing community of winemakers and viticulturists who have found unique, productive microclimates in our corner of the state.

For the more adventurous, check out Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat, designed to serve as a retreat for mind, body and soul.

If you’re looking for one last summertime vacation, Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe, await you at the Trees of Mystery in Klamath. You’ll find magnificent redwoods, an interpretive trail and some respite from scorching North State summer temperatures. Walking amongst the trees that are among the oldest living things on the planet is simply magical.

Meanwhile, we’re inspired by people like Ryan Johnston, whose Cast Hope organization provides peace and escape to 250 underprivileged and at-risk youth through fly fishing. The experience blends mentoring, personal achievement and appreciation for natural resources.

And it all began with the question, “How are you using what you do best to help your community?” Hmm...

| BY JON LEWIS

you’re Welcome r e d d i n g co n v e n t i o n a n d v i s i t o rs b u r e a u Tourism opportunities in the Redding area are such an embarrassment of riches, the four-member crew promoting them at the Convention and Visitors Bureau must feel like they’re behind the counter of a giant candy store in a world full of kids.

There’s a lot of everything in this neck of the woods, including the woods. Hiking, biking and kayaking? In spades. Climbing, camping and skiing? Can do. Fishing, spelunking and houseboating? Step right up. Fairs and festivals your thing? You found the right spot.

The word is getting out, too, thanks in large part to the bureau’s efforts, but there’s another reason Redding has a prominent place on the tourism map. “We promote the assets to get people to come to Redding,” says Laurie Baker, the bureau’s CEO. “Once they get here, it’s the people who are here that get them to come back.”

Visitor feedback supports Baker’s findings, says Krista Buckel, the bureau’s marketing manager. “We get to hear the positives all the time.

We hear great stories of people who visit the area.” Satisfied customers are checking in via email, Facebook comments, phone calls and in person at trade shows, Buckel says.4

continued on page 14 August 2014 ENJOY | 13

Happy visitors are more likely to be repeat visitors, and when tourists continue to visit, good things happen.

The primary focus of the bureau is to get folks into Redding hotels, which generates transient occupancy tax revenues for the city.

Redding uses a portion of this money to fund the non-profit Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association, which is the bureau’s parent organization, and the rest goes to the general fund.

In short, when a family from Southern California comes up to admire the Sundial Bridge, get in a little stand-up paddling, hike in Lassen Volcanic National Park and walk the Sacramento River Trail, they’re giving Redding taxpayers a bit of a break.

Tourism is big business in California—travel spending in the state reached an estimated $109 billion in 2013 and supported some 917,000 jobs—and it’s a big economic driver in the North State as well.

Last year, visitors to the eight-county Shasta Cascade region spent $931 million and supported some 11,500 jobs while generating $15 million in local taxes and $39 million worth of state tax. In Redding alone, there were an estimated 1.2 million hotel room nights sold, Baker says.

In Shasta County, the California Travel and Tourism Commission reports travel spending of $389 million and the support of 4,260 jobs. Some $6.9 million in local taxes were generated along with $16.3 million in state taxes.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau has a large role in keeping those numbers growing and for years its marketing efforts have focused on Redding serving as the hub for popular day-trip destinations like Lassen, Mt. Shasta, Shasta Lake and Whiskeytown.

Buckel says the bureau has recently started touting the virtues of city life. “Now we’re looking inside Redding,” she says, referring to campaigns that highlight Redding’s blue-ribbon fishery, its extensive trail network and its status as a hotbed of stand-up paddleboarding.

“Our goal is to be known for paddleboard events,” says Baker.

14 | Enjoy august 2014

“Look at the Sacramento River: it’s not whitewater, it’s perfect for paddleboarding, and we’ve got that blue ribbon going through our town. We’re marketing that to Southern California.”

Through its web site, www.visitredding.com, and its Facebook page, the bureau drums up interest in local events like the recent 10th anniversary celebration for the Sundial Bridge and outdoorsy affairs like the Shasta Lemurian mountain bike race and the Return of the Salmon Festival.

National media is helping to get the word out as well, Buckel says.

Peter Greenberg, CBS’ travel editor, recently listed Redding as one of five “escape the city” destinations; Tom Wilmer, a National Public Radio correspondent, gushed about Redding’s outdoor recreation opportunities on his “Journeys of Discovery” program; and both the Food Network and Travel Channel have aired programs highlighting the North State’s burgeoning wine industry.

“We’ve been able to get attention we haven’t had before,” Buckel says.

In partnership with Brand USA and VisitCalifornia, the bureau is continuing to spread the good word to regional markets in Southern California, San Francisco, Washington and Oregon. Baker, Buckel and Chad New, the bureau’s director of industry relations and sales, also are crossing borders to reach international markets in Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan and South Korea. • www.visitredding.com For free brochures and visitor information, visit the Turtle Bay Store & Coffee Bar, 844 Sundial Bridge Drive or call (530) 225-4100

Reeling in the Years C A S T HO P E FLY FI S HI N G GUIDE S FOR RYAN JOHNSTON, FLY FISHING offers a complex challenge that brings with it exquisite peace and a serene escape from the sometimes unpredictable rhythms of daily life. “When you’re on a river or lake, it doesn’t leave space for other thoughts,” he says. “There are few times in life where you can remove yourself, where your mind is allowed to go blank. The whole being on the water encompasses you and allows your mind to rest.” It is this blend of focus and tranquility that he shares4

with 250 underprivileged and at-risk youth in Northern California each year through his organization, Cast Hope.

In its sixth year, Cast Hope gathers like-minded fly fishing guides who share a desire to give back to their communities using passion as a platform. Though fly fishing serves as the centerpiece, the organization instills positive relationship experiences, personal achievement and an appreciation for sustaining natural resources.

Kids who participate start with a drift boat day trip where they learn basic fishing skills. It’s an intimate five or six hours with just them, a mentor and a guide. “These are great opportunities our kids wouldn’t be afforded without a group like Cast Hope,” says Jim Culp, pastor of Orchard Church in Chico who runs Wilderness Experience, an outreach to at-risk Chico youth. “They spend a large chunk of time out on beautiful space doing an incredible activity.” If they want more, they are invited back for outings including overnight camping, clinics and road trips.

It all started with a conviction. Someone posed the question, “How are you using what you do best to help your community?” says Johnston, executive director of Cast Hope. He’d been working his way through college as a fishing guide and figured he could offer one fishing trip a month which he did for about six months. On a particular outing, a junior high aged boy whose dad had recently passed away said after landing a fish, “You know, this is the coolest thing I’ve ever done. I want to do this more.” It was an Aha! moment for Johnston who knew then he needed to make the experience “legit.”

He was in grad school at the time, finishing his MBA, so he applied his own education toward creating a business plan and pursuing a non-profit status.

Cast Hope has three big goals, says Johnston. “First, fly fishing is expensive and we aim to make it accessible.” Kids who return after the first outing get free equipment such as rods, reels and flies supplied by private donors, grant funding and fund raising activities.

“Second, fly fishing is complex. There is a high knowledge barrier but there doesn’t have to be.” Cast Hope guides break the sport down to its simplest form yet, because of their vast knowledge, still manage to offer loads of knowledge and experience in short periods of time.

“Last, fly fishing requires access,” he says. “How do you get to creeks, ponds or lakes?” Cast Hope chooses fishing sites near students’ homes with the hopes they will be able to replicate the experience later.

Though he juggles his work at Cast Hope with a day job as a fly fishing guide, a wife and two small children, Johnston maintains his convictions. “Everyone has something to give, no matter what’s happened in your life. Whether it’s a phone call, a note or starting a non-profit, all of us have an obligation to give back.

“There is nothing better than watching a kid get excited and see pure joy on someone’s face. Seeing the pride in mastering a skill—it makes it worth every minute I’ve put in.” • To learn more about or to donate to Cast Hope, visit www.casthope.org.

Scout’s Honor N at i o n a l F o o t b a l l S c o u t i n g P r e s i d e n t j e f f f o s t e r

Many tears are shed on high school football fields across the country each fall, when seniors hang up their helmets for the last time. A select few are lucky enough to have the opportunity to play in college, and of those, the most elite earn a coveted spot on a professional roster.

North State native Jeff Foster hasn’t put on pads in a couple of decades, but he’s still been able to make a career out of his beloved sport. He’s the president of National Football Scouting and he directs the National Invitational Camp (also known as the NFL Combine), where scouts evaluate prospects for the NFL draft every February.

“I feel very fortunate to continue to work in football,” Foster says.

Foster’s family moved from Hayfork to Palo Cedro when he was a toddler, and he graduated from Anderson High School in 1990. He was team captain and an all-league player for Anderson’s

football, baseball, basketball and soccer teams, along with serving on student government.

He went on to play football at Arizona State University, where he majored in communications with a business minor. He was an honorable mention for the PAC-10 Conference All-Academic Team in 1994. The following year, he was one of 12 Division 1 football players selected to play in the sixth annual Heisei Bowl in Japan, where he helped coach the top two Japanese college football teams. When he was hired by the East-West Shrine Football Classic in 1995, he developed a pilot program that produced the first two Japanese participants in the 73-year history of the game.

“I was able to stay involved in sports, I learned the business side of things and I came to love the charity,” he says. “I had a lot of fun playing in college, but I wasn’t going to go on to an NFL career.”

Foster was promoted to the East-West game’s director before he was hired as a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2001,4 continued on page 22

August 2014 ENJOY | 21

first evaluating college talent, then scouting the pros. He was responsible for weekly evaluation of opponents, providing advance scouting reports for coaches and players. Because he was always watching his team’s upcoming opponent, “for two seasons, I never saw the Chiefs play live,” he says. He also evaluated professional players for free agency and trade acquisitions.

Nine years ago, he was hired as president of National Football Scouting, the largest college scouting service in professional football.

His crew manages 11 scouts who are charged with narrowing 12,000 college seniors down to about 800 NFL prospects.

Scouts watch three to five full game films on each player to evaluate position-specific skills. “They also talk to the coaches and academic advisers to try to get a sense of the person’s character, which we combine with their football character,” Foster says. “We’re measuring their football IQ.” In the fall, he focuses on the NFL Combine, which gained popularity among casual fans when the NFL Network began broadcasting it.

Foster maintains North State roots. Parents Duane and Peggy still live in Shasta County, and legendary retired Anderson High School football coach Bob Reid remains a close friend. He came to the combine last year with Foster’s father.

“I love where I grew up,” Foster says. “Growing up in a small town like that, you didn’t really see what was out there. Arizona State had 60,000 students. They make you work hard and have big dreams and

22 | Enjoy august 2014

big goals. You really have to get out and see what else is out there, to compete outside your comfort zone. Reid always pushed you to remember where you came from.”

This year, Foster will be inducted into the Shasta County Sports Hall of Fame, which includes “names I looked up to when I was growing up.”

One of those names? Bob Reid. This year’s Hall of Fame inductees also include Olympian Megan Rapinoe, former NFL player Ryan O’Callaghan, Canadian Football League powerhouse Ricky Ray, Max Burch, Sam Enochian, Eddie Wilson and Mark Wilson.

“There are lessons learned in team sports that you just don’t realize,” Foster says. “Work ethic, determination, learning from your mistakes and striving to play better help you succeed regardless of your career.

That’s what shaped who I am, professionally and personally.”

He’ll make the trip to receive that honor with his wife of 9 years, Amy; their 8-year-old daughter, Addison; and “three knuckleheads” Nate, 6, Lucas, 5, and Park, 3. The boys have gone to some football camps that teach the fundamentals of the game, but “I hope their interests are golf and other non-contact sports,” he says with a laugh. •

beauty beyond summer b a ck t o sc h o o l b e a u t y t i ps

As another school year approaches and the leisurely days of summer come to an end, you may need a little extra inspiration to help get you out of bed and into something other than shorts or a bathing suit. Here are a few ideas to help you get ready and out the door in minutes.4 continued on page 26

August 2014 ENJOY | 25

12

Lighten Up. Start with a creamy concealer stick. Everyone (yes, everyone) can benefit from a little concealer. Swipe it half an inch under your eyes from corner to corner (if you do it right at the lashes, it can look heavy); tap with your ring finger to blend. Pat it on any redness or spots, especially around the nose. This alone will brighten your whole face and take years off.

34

Sweep on blush.

A peachy or coral blush is perfect for giving a subtle glow. Again, use a fluffy brush to apply. If you use a cream formula, your fingers are fine. Just be sure to hit those apples for a youthful effect. (And it forces you to smile while applying!)

Even out your skin tone.

Try one of the new and improved BB or CC creams or a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen (always SPF!) to smoothe and even out your complexion. Then dust a powder foundation all over your face with a big, fluffy brush. You will have flawless coverage that won’t cake or look heavy. Plus, it will set your concealer so it lasts all day.

Add mascara.

Always use mascara. Everyone needs a little mascara to open up the eyes. After curling lashes, “smush” the brush into the base of your lashes, then bring it in toward your nose as you pull up to the tips, wiggling the brush as you go. That—and filling in any sparse areas on your brows with a pencil—wakes the face right up. Tip: Try using a pencil liner on the area right underneath your top lashes—it might feel a bit strange at first, but will darken your lash line and open up the eyes.

(Be careful not to poke yourself in the eye.)

56

Swipe on sheer pink gloss.

It makes your lips look lush—and you don’t even need a mirror to put it on, which means you can put it on in the car—bonus!

Pull your hair back.

Hair is often the biggest time sucker, especially if you wash and dry it every day. Try stepping away from the hot tools. Throw your hair into a loose bun and slip on a headband. Ponytails are always in fashion, thankfully, especially if you haven’t had time to wash your hair. Keep it out of your face and off your mind. Or toss on a cute fedora for an easy, carefree look.

Voila! Finis. *If you have just a little more time, do something extra to play up your eyes. Sweep a light shadow across your top lid. Use a darker shadow near your lashline and blend. Line your top and bottom lash lines. For a more intense look, try a liquid or gel liner. Or try one of those felt pen liners for instant drama.

The goal is to appear put together, in spite of what chaos might transpire every morning. To avoid looking hurried, rushed or like you just rolled out of bed (even if you did), do a few key things to brighten your face while squeezing out a few more minutes of beauty rest. Pretty soon you’ll have your routine down in no time. Who knows…you may even have time for coffee… •

GOOD FINDS

| BY MELISSA MENDONCA | PHOTOS: MICHELLE SMITH

M ay h e m G o u rm e t Gr i l l e d C h e e s e Jeremy and Jennie Wolfe can embrace “what is.” As parents of a finicky eater, they found themselves playing around with grilled cheese recipes when their middle child went through a stage of eating nothing else.

Looking for a new revenue stream and a business that would allow them the freedom and creativity they desired, the couple did their research and spun their grilled cheese skills into a food truck business.

As they started conjuring names, they took pause to look around their house—a baby, a toddler and a teen heading into adulthood.

“It’s always so loud and chaotic in here that we thought, ‘Let’s call it Mayhem,’” laughs Jennie.

They embraced what was, created a logo with a roller derby diva on a bomb and started grilling their way into the hearts of the Chico community, one cheese sandwich at a time.

The Mayhem truck opened November 27, 2012, after six months of renovation and one summer of the couple slinging grilled cheese from a tent booth at Chico's Thursday night market. The truck, once

used to sell tortillas, was found in an orchard and purchased for a song—but needed extensive (and expensive) work, which Jeremy did himself.

On opening day, they pulled up near the Senator Theatre when a show was going on, having used the last $80 of their project budget to buy food. It was pouring rain and they didn’t have an awning. It didn’t matter. The customers came. One of the first called a news station, which came out the next day for an interview. It turned out that people love Mayhem.

“We just turned that 80 bucks into what it is,” says Jeremy. “That’s an entrepreneur at heart. We aren’t afraid to take risks. Without risks there are no rewards.”

The Mayhem experience is about elevating a familiar comfort food to gourmet status. It’s a hot gooey middle encased by crispy, crunchy sourdough that’s been double cheesed. It’s a combination like the Motza—mozzarella, tomato, avocado and fresh basil—or a grilled cheese with bacon and house-made maple chipotle jelly.4 continued on page 30 August 2014 ENJOY | 29

“It’s not an original idea, but we’ve made it our own” says Jeremy of the Mayhem sandwich concept. “It’s twice cooked. We cheese the outside.”

It's also an experience where you’re treated to Jennie’s hospitality while Jeremy is in the back grilling. She takes orders by names, not numbers, and strives to make a connection to their customers. “We want you to know that we see you as a person, not a dollar sign,” says Jeremy.

Although the Mayhem truck has an edgy look with its black paint job and bomber logo, Jeremy says, “We keep that thing really, really tight all the time. We are a good, clean, family-friendly truck.” Indeed, the youngest two are often in the truck in their own play area while mom and dad are working.

For Jeremy and Jennie, Mayhem is an opportunity to connect the community through food, and it’s one they take seriously. They’ve been known to “bomb drop” sandwiches for people in need, and even made a surprise home delivery to a very sick customer who had posted on Facebook that she was craving a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup.

Jeremy has also become an advocate in regards to city regulations and helping other food trucks get started. He encourages cooperation and courtesy amongst the food truck owners. No parking in front of restaurants, for example.

30 | Enjoy august 2014

“We encourage more trucks,” says Jeremy, with an air of collaboration.

Events such as Chico’s Fork in the Road gatherings have become popular for friends to sample and share food from a variety of trucks. The more trucks, the greater the likelihood people will attend.

The success of the food truck movement is due largely to social media outlets that advertise truck locations and special events. “It’s amazing that we just started this on a Facebook page,” says Jeremy. The truck now has its own smart phone app that keeps patrons updated on locations, menu items and specials.

Reflecting on the success of the truck, Jennie says, “There are a lot of people who just love cheese.”

True that. But the cheese tastes better when it's served with a little Mayhem. • www.facebook.com/mayhemfoodtruck www.twitter.com/mayhemnation

Dr. Kevin O’Rorke (right), Shasta College’s VP of Student Services congratulating Matthew Laurie on receiving the UC Davis Regents Scholar Award.

This is the most prestigious scholarship on the UC Davis campus according to their website.

At 26 years old,

with no more than a 10th grade education and almost a decade of educational absenteeism, I enrolled at Shasta College.

My struggles as a student started in the third grade and became progressively worse. Regardless of my efforts I began receiving failing grades and almost failed out of the 8th grade.

After dropping out of high school my junior year, I felt as though I would never be successful as a student.

At 17 years old I was on my own. I attempted to continue my education, enrolling 3 or 4 times only to drop out each time before finally giving up on college completely. Thus began many years of wandering until finally, after a childhood of failure and a 10 year academic absenteeism, I returned to school once again.

I am now a graduate of Shasta College where I served as the Student Senate President, Student Trustee, Directing Founder of The Lance Online, Public Relations Officer for Phi Theta Kappa and have a 3.8 GPA. I have decided to attend UC Davis after being awarded with the Regents Scholar award, “...the most prestigious award in the UC system.”

In reality, I’m an average guy. I was always labeled a “bad student,” and I believed it. Thank you Shasta College! Thank you administrators, counselors, and instructors, for helping me realize my potential and believing in me. I would not be where I am today without your help and guidance!

D a k a r o c e l l a rs i n w h i t m o r e A delicious change is sweeping the north state, as wine lovers discover tucked-away treasures in the foothills and valleys of far Northern California. Boutique wineries seem to be springing up in ideal locations for the grapes and the wines they produce. David and Kathy Roth have developed just such a vineyard and winery in Whitmore. They have been creating wonderful wines from their eight acres of carefully chosen varietals that blend beautifully to please the palates of a growing fan base.

Recently, Raymond and Maria Gonzales stopped by Dakaro Cellars to meet the owners and enjoy some conversation on the veranda overlooking the gently sloping vineyard. The couple buy their Dakaro Cellars wine at Whitmore Store but hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, until this idyllic interlude, taken time to meet the winemakers. Like many transplanted city folks, the couple have escaped to a quiet country life in Whitmore, but they still appreciate some finer things like well-crafted wines.

The Roths started many years ago with a passion and a dream. They both went back to school to learn everything they needed to know to begin their new venture. Kathy studied sustainable viticulture and David the art of winemaking. Climate research and road trips landed them in the perfect location, where in 2006 they began preparing their land. Big Spring Vineyards sits just off Whitmore Road. Halfway up the winding gravel road, a garden area looks back downslope over the vineyard with the winery hidden over the ridge above. The Roths and their son, Ahren, planted their first grapes In 2007. With the blessing of abundant water from Fern Spring that feeds their vines through a gravity flow watering system, they look forward to adding another eight acres of vines to the eight currently in production.4 continued on page 34

August is National Immunization Awareness Month

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) and the National Public Health Information Coalition support the value of immunizations across the lifespan and encourage all people to protect their health by being immunized and that Immunizations help prevent dangerous and sometimes deadly diseases.

The CDC encourages parents of young children to obtain: 1) recommended immunizations by age two, 2) make sure older children, preteens, and teens have received all recommended vaccines by the time they go back school, 3) share information geared toward parents of 9-18 years of age, 4) remind college students to catch up on immunizations before they move into dormitories, 5) educate healthcare workers about vaccines and boosters they may need and education on receiving vaccines to protect newborns from diseases like whooping cough, also known as Pertussis and remind everyone that the next flu season is only a few months away.

Before vaccines, people became immune only by actually having a disease and surviving it. Immunizations are an easier and a less risky way to become immune, compared to surviving the disease.

Vaccines take advantage of your body’s natural ability to combat many diseasecausing germs, or microbes, that attack it. What’s more, your body “remembers” how to protect itself from the microbes it has encountered before. Collectively, the parts of your body that remember and repel microbes are called the immune

system. Without the immune system, the simplest illness even the common cold could quickly turn deadly.

On average, your immune system takes more than two weeks to fight off an unfamiliar microbe. Sometimes that isn’t soon enough. Stronger microbes can spread through your body faster than the immune system can fend them off. Your body often gains the upper hand after a few weeks, but in the meantime you are sick. Certain microbes are so powerful, or virulent, that they can overwhelm or escape your body’s natural defenses. In those situations, vaccines can make all the difference.

Traditional vaccines contain either parts of microbes or whole microbes that have been killed or weakened so that they don’t cause disease. When your immune system confronts these harmless versions of the germs, it quickly clears them from your body. In other words, vaccines raise your immune system to destroy microbes.

Information is provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and CDC. Greenville Rancheria offers Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (CHDP) and Vaccines for Children (VFC) who are eligible. We are also part of California Immunization Registry (CAIR).

Make sure you and your family are protected against serious illnesses like the flu, measles, and tuberculosis. Adults require vaccination just like kids do!

Blending trials are what make the wine special and slightly different from year to year, they say.

They make wine “by flavor,” not by the numbers.

“The vineyards are producing Rhone and Bordeaux varietals, both red and white, as well as a few Italian and Spanish varietals. Warm days, cool nights and mild fall weather ripen each to perfection,” they report, as they look forward each year since 2012 to the challenge and the joy of sitting together for their blending “experiments.” They have strategically planted their grapes in proportion to the blends they anticipate. Blending trials are what make the wine special and slightly different from year to year, they say. They make wine “by flavor,” not by the numbers. The Roths’ ultimate goal is to create a flavor that is enjoyed as “a mouth full of wine.”

The Roths belong to a loose-knit community of winemakers and viticulturists who have found unique and productive microclimates in the North State. They enjoy the exchange of ideas and information with other local entrepreneurs who are realizing that they are pioneering and growing a new viticultural area that competes with other well-known wine communities on the West Coast. The Roths look forward to expanding their exposure as the North State embraces a growing agricultural industry of vineyards and wineries being recognized throughout the industry for their quality products.

When they first joined the winemakers of Shasta County, the Roths said, people didn’t know that wine was being made in the area. Now they find a better quality and less compromising in the growing North State industry. They love the idea of promoting the wine culture of the North State and encouraging their neighbors near and far to “buy local.”

Dakaro Cellars wines are found on the shelves of many North State markets and specialty stores and are served in restaurants from Chico to Redding. A list of their wines and distribution locations can be found on their website. The Roths invite visitors. They will enjoy sharing a glass of their best on the veranda. • www.dakarowines.com

HISTORY is HERSTORY S UE LA N G , C U R ATO R OF R EDDI N G MEETING UP WITH SUE LANG for coffee begins with a warm greeting and a compliment of some kind. She settles down with her drink, her green eyes bright and engaging.

She’s eager to share stories of her latest volunteer projects, but not before remarking on your scarf, or appreciating the fantastic artwork in the coffee shop.

Lang credits her participation in Leadership Redding more than 20 years ago with spurring her to become more active in the community. “As a kid, we moved around a lot, so that sense of community never really happened for me. I remember Lou Gerard talking about Redding’s history for my first Leadership Redding session. Our class stood looking out over the whole city. After each session, the facilitators would ask us what our ‘aha moment’ was, and right then I realized it was that sense of belonging,” she recalls. “And I’m still friends with people who I met in that group.”

Once she retired seven years ago, she was able to do even more. She’s known for her efforts to help revitalize downtown, first as a board member of Renaissance Redding, then sitting on the board of Viva Downtown Redding since 2003, and serving on the Cascade Theatre restoration committee.

She now serves on the Viva Downtown design committee, where some of her enthusiasm and energy have gone toward helping design the locally made bicycle racks dotting the downtown. “Sue has so much energy. I would certainly call her a force to be reckoned with,” said Sally Marbry, chair of the committee. 4 continued on page 38

August 2014 ENJOY | 37

Sue and her husband, Buck, came to Redding in 1973 after living in Southern California left them longing for fresh air, mountains and wide-open spaces. When her husband was offered a job in Redding as a medical technologist, “We said, ‘Where the heck is Redding?’” she recalls. “But we knew it wasn’t Los Angeles and we knew it would be better than that.”

After having two sons, Adam and Chris, she worked as an assistant claims manager at State Compensation Insurance Fund, supervising a dozen people. Now she and her husband, both retired, split their time between their home in Redding and a home in Dunsmuir. They dote on their three-year-old granddaughter, Izabel.

Her most recent volunteer effort, a documentary about the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Pilgrim Congregational Church, sprang from her passion for architecture and history. She visited Wright’s western outpost—Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Ariz.—and was disappointed she didn’t find more information on Redding’s church. “It just didn’t seem right to me that our church got only a small mention at the end of another documentary,” she says, “so I knew we had to tell the story.”

She collaborated with videographer and fellow Shasta Historical Society board member Charley Williams and Valerie Ing of Jefferson Public Radio to tell the remarkable story of how Redding secured the services of the renowned architect, even as he was overseeing the construction of the Guggenheim Museum in New York in the late 1950s. The film made its debut to a nearly full house at the Cascade Theatre in March and has been rescreened twice, including a showing at the Dunsmuir Arts Museum.

A few years ago, she participated in the Turtle Bay History Players, volunteers who researched a local person of historical significance and

38 | Enjoy august 2014

portrayed them to area students. She chose Susanna Kruger Kountz, Judge Richard B. Eaton’s great-grandmother. “It was fun digging up stuff on her. I even took on a terrible German accent to play her,” she laughs, “and got an 1870s dress pattern and made my costume.” After the History Players disbanded, she began volunteering at Shasta State Historic Park, where she docents in period costume during events.

At the park, she found herself drawn to the art collection, and was determined to learn more about it. This curiosity resulted in instituting Artist Spotlights, a series of lectures with experts on some of the paintings housed at the museum. “We’ve been operating without a curator. What Sue has been able to do as a volunteer, in changing her focus to art docent, has been nice, because we weren’t able to hire someone to focus on the art,” said Lori Martin, ranger at Shasta State Historic Park.

While some vacationers long for beaches or cruise ships, her idea of the perfect vacation includes hitting the art museums or historical sites in any city where she travels. She recently attended a family wedding in Brooklyn, where she also took in the majestic Brooklyn Historical Society building, which is on the National Register of Historical Places. She also viewed the renowned Barnes Foundation collection in Philadelphia.

“Buck has just learned to like this kind of vacation,” she laughs. “He always ends up having a great time.” • Sue Ralston is a freelance writer who enjoys life in the North State, especially the wonderful weekend a nearby. She loves music, chocolate, reading, hiking and knitting, and is a dedicated volunteer. She lives in Redding with her family.

A Morning View Ta mmy a n d Lo g a n S t r o b e l K e e p i n g i t S i mp l e

Mornings have become ritualized for Tammy Strobel, who lives in a tiny house outside of Montague.

She’ll hand grind Northbound Roaster’s coffee beans and set them to steep in a KleenKanteen, perhaps leaning over to pet one of her curious cats in the process.

When the brew is ready, she’ll pour it into one of her few treasured mugs, grab her iPhone and head out for a walk.

She’ll take a deep breath and absorb what the day brings her in terms of a view. Then she’ll pull out her iPhone, strategically place her coffee mug somewhere within the

view finder, and document what she sees.

It’s an idyllic and unhurried way to start the day. These walks, however, started out as a journey through grief and an exploration in gratitude. They’ve culminated in a book, “My Morning View,” which shares photography tips, thoughts on gratitude and praise of quality coffee.

In 2005, Tammy and her husband, Logan, began simplifying their lives, a process documented in Tammy’s Book, “You Can Buy Happiness (And it’s Cheap): How One Woman Radically Simplified Her Life and How You4 continued on page 42

Can Too.” It was a process that brought freedom through debt-free finances and mobility through the flexibility of tiny-house living.

That freedom and flexibility were called upon in 2012, when Tammy received word that her stepfather, Mahlon, was in the hospital. “His stroke and the events that followed really shifted me,” she says.

The simplification of their lives allowed Tammy and Logan to lean into Mahlon’s end-of-life process in a way that let them be present for everyone involved. “I’m really glad we simplified our lives when we did, because we were really able to be available for my parents,” says Tammy.

It also lead to a unique form of healing and honoring his memory: the iPhone project that turned into “My Morning View.”

“He loved good coffee and he loved being outside,” Tammy says of the project she embarked upon on New Year’s Day in 2013. “It’s helped me heal from the grief I felt in losing Mahlon. The photography has been such a great tool for me to cope.”

There have been lessons in the project for Logan, too, who says, “It made me realize that we get really depressed when we focus inward.”

He’s noticed that intentional walking with a focus on photography helps in “having gratitude, bringing down the blood pressure.”

Tammy and Logan brought their tiny house to Red Bluff last summer, where they were able to stay near Tammy’s mom. “In respect to family and value and heart, I’d be lost without Tammy and Logan,” says Tammy’s mom, Kathy Hettick of Red Bluff. “It’s heartwarming,” she says of their dedication to supporting her through her husband’s death.

While the book has been published and is available in print and digital formats, the walks continue and Tammy continues to share4 continued on page 44

her images through Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram. She also writes a popular blog called Rowdy Kittens, which has the tagline “go small, think big & be happy.”

Rowdy Kittens is a vehicle for Tammy to share her experiences living in a tiny house, as well as a home base for her many micro-enterprises, such as online writing and photography courses, and work co-teaching the online course A Simple Year.

Tammy and Logan are proponents of the tiny-house movement and have eagerly shared the process of downsizing and moving into 128 square feet. The house was designed by their friend, Dee Williams, author of “The Big Tiny: A Built-It-Myself Memoir.”

They moved into their tiny house in 2011, while living in Portland. They eventually moved to Chico, where they originally met, and have been living in various places throughout Northern California ever since. “One thing that’s nice about having a house on wheels is that you can try out different communities,” says Logan.

They currently reside on the cattle ranch where Logan grew up. A one-car couple, they manage transportation to and from Logan’s work at Siskiyou Economic Development Council via their car, public transportation and a Brompton fold-up bike.

“The simple life has given us a lot of opportunities,” says Tammy. “We tried big city life and are now close to family.” She mentions an appreciation for the ability to “really engage in an experience and just have fun.”

“Time is the currency of life, not necessarily money,” says Logan. “If you put the emphasis on the right currency, things tend to work out.” • Tammy and Logan will participate in a book signing and Northbound Coffee Roasters tasting event on August 23 at Enjoy the Store Red Bluff. www.rowdykittens.com

THE T R EE S o f M Y S TE RY I N K LA M ATH The 49-foot-tall statue of Paul Bunyan looming near the redwoods practically demands that drivers exit Highway 101 and investigate the Trees of Mystery. A touristy gimmick?

Maybe, but the kids love it and it does get people out of their cars and into nature—and that makes John Thompson happy.

Truth be told, the Trees of Mystery are well worth a visit, even if the huge lumberjack and Babe, his trusty blue ox, were not beckoning. It’s a tourist attraction, but it’s far from a trap.

Thompson, the general manager who proudly notes his family has been involved with Trees of Mystery for three generations, says it’s actually an environmentally friendly business that provides some stability to Klamath’s fragile economy while providing excellent access to the North State’s famous coastal redwoods.

As advertised, the trees are the stars at this attraction and they appear on cue shortly after starting a leisurely hike on the roughly mile-long interpretive trail that winds through the 40acre grove. The initial section is called The Kingdom of the Trees and it quickly brings visitors up close to several examples of quirky redwoods.

There’s the Family Tree, a 300-foot-tall redwood with 12 trees growing from its limbs; the Elephant Tree with its massive root structure; the Fallen Giant, a huge redwood that toppled thousands of years ago and sprouted a 10-foot-diameter tree from its roots; and the trademark Cathedral Tree, a semi-circular

cluster of nine trees growing from the burls and seeds of a large tree that fell but refused to die.

Farther along is the Brotherhood Tree, a magnificent coastal redwood standing 300 feet tall and 19 feet in diameter at its base. Dedicated to “the brotherhood of man,” it is more than 2,000 years old.

Simply walking amid trees that are among the oldest living things on the planet is an exhilarating, almost mystical experience; learning about the adaptability and inherent tenaciousness of these towering giants is life-affirming. That might explain why dozens of couples each year choose to hold their weddings at the Cathedral Tree, Thompson says.

Carl Bruno got a sense of the trees’ power back in 1931 when, after following up on stories he’d heard of unusual trees in the area, he purchased the 40-acre grove and started what he hoped would become a tourist attraction.

Thompson's family entered the picture in 1936 when his grandparents and parents teamed up to purchase the Trees of Mystery. At the time, the attraction was little more than “a logcabin gift shop and a muddy trail.”

The Thompson clan went to work and scratched its way through the lean years of World War II. One of the first additions after the war was the construction of a large papier-mâché Paul Bunyan statue. “He lasted one year and melted in the rain,” Thompson says.4 continued on page 50

August 2014 ENJOY | 49

“They had to build a concrete one.”

The big lumberjack proved to be an eye-catcher and with the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle only three years away, the Thompson men set to work on an even bigger Paul Bunyan. The goal was to take advantage of the extra Highway 101 traffic, since the coast highway was the main north-south route prior to construction of Interstate 5.

With help from a local boat repairman who had experience building movie props in Hollywood, the statue was fabricated in pieces, which were then hoisted into place with a big crane. “It was an amazing project,” Thompson says.

Even more amazing, especially for kids, is Paul Bunyan’s ability to speak. “Paul has always had the ability to talk. The kids love him and it’s really fun for me, watching Paul interact with people,” Thompson says. Babe was fashioned from a metal framework covered with chicken wire and light concrete.

The colorful statues tie in nicely with the Trail of Tall Tales, a path that treats visitors to some 50 oversized chainsaw carvings depicting various stories and lore involving Paul Bunyan and other forest characters.

Trees of Mystery experienced another upgrade in 2001 with the opening of the Sky Trail, an aerial tramway that whisks visitors along on a treetop journey to an observation deck for panoramic views of the redwood forest and the Pacific Ocean. The 10-minute ride in a comfortable gondola covers a third of a mile and is included with the cost of admission.

S TE WA R T S P R I N Gs M I N E R AL R ET R EAT It’s been said that all work and no relaxation is the perfect formula for a dull existence. Thankfully, with such beautiful flora and fauna in the North State, relaxation is just a short drive from home.

Enter Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat, nestled peacefully on the banks of Park Creek, just four miles from the I-5 corridor in Weed.

Allow yourself a moment to take in the calming simplicity of the grounds—the towering pines, time-worn rocks and bubbling creek —that are home to Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat. Although the refreshingly rustic terrain may enchant your heart with the joy of the great outdoors, what lies within the confines of Stewart Springs is a luxurious treat for the mind, body and soul.

The mineral baths have regaled visitors with their ability to soothe weary muscles and bones, provide relief for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, exfoliate skin and restore pH balance to the system. They are only a tip of the iceberg as far as the offerings at Stewart Springs are concerned, however. Because of the high mineral concentration in the water, bathing in the mineral bath is recommended for a maximum of 15 to 20 minutes per day, as overexposure to the silica can cause skin irritation. Many visitors opt to take a short bath in mineral water, which is heated to their individual

specifications, and then take a refreshing dip in the rock-lined creek pool. Pure exhilaration might be the best description.

The wood-burning saunas help further purify your system by creating the perfect environment in which to sweat out impurities. Schedule a massage or a yoga or meditation class for a full circle treatment and let the relaxation and refreshment settle into your soul.

The Glorified Roots Juice Bar offers a selection of fresh organic juices and smoothies that will delight your taste buds and rehydrate you after a day in the bathhouse. If all the fresh air and relaxation has you a bit hungry, look no further than the Creekside Café. The restaurant boasts a seasonal menu, including vegan and vegetarian options, beer and wine, all amidst a stunning backdrop of pines and flowing water.

Creekside Café is open for dining whether or not you have opted for the mineral bath, sauna and dip in the creek, so stop by for a meal whenever you are in the area.

While Stewart Springs is an ideal getaway if you’d just like to skip town for the day, it makes for a lovely overnight stay, as well.

Options for overnight accommodations include an A-frame house, apartments, teepees, tents and spaces for RVs and trailers. Sure, it’s4 continued on page 54

the quintessential place for a peaceful-yet-romantic trip for two, sans kids. But the special group rate pricing may just encourage you to schedule your next birthday or anniversary among your closest friends or adult family members.

If the idea of getting married in one of the most beautiful and enchanting places in the North State sounds blissful, add the title of “perfect wedding venue” to Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat’s repertoire. With overnight accommodations for up to 60 people and room for nearly 100 guests at your event, you can treasure the memory of peace and relaxation on your wedding day for years to come. What a way to begin a happy life together.

Renowned worldwide for its natural beauty, Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat has a large number of visitors from Asia, Europe and the Middle East, in addition to many locals who consider Stewart Springs a bit of heaven on Earth. Visitors to Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat have boasted that their baths provide healing, renewal, and, in some cases, help with medical conditions. Although the healing abilities of the spring can’t be medically proven, it’s safe to say that there is something special to be found in the water at Stewart Springs. • Stewart Springs Mineral Retreat 4617 Stewart Springs Road, Weed (530) 938-2222 www.stewartmineralsprings.com

r o n s t u a r t, m o d e l s h i p b u i l d e r A popular credo affirms the belief that before the thing comes the thought. While unloading containers in a Philadelphia shipyard, Ron Stuart’s thoughts were of ornate and elegant ships, thoughts that preceded his foray into building models of them.

“I have always thought the older tall ships are awesome,” says Stuart. “I just took a saw and file and started making a hull to make my own ship because I was too cheap to buy a kit.”

From his first vessel—an uncomplicated two-mast built out of a fourby-four using a hand file and rasp—to more complex projects, Stuart has honed his talent for recreating from pictures large scale model ships.

(A hobby shop that had one of his early ships on display had to tell its customers there was no kit for the ship they wanted to copy.)

“If I mess with it off and on every day, it may take three or four months to complete a project,” he says. “It depends on how much detail and where my brain goes with it.” One model took four years to complete.

After leaving the shipyard, Stuart worked laying track at the railroad and driving a truck cross-country until insulin dependence for diabetes ended his life on the road. He later went to work at his brother-in-law’s cabinet manufacturing and installation business.

“I think I really got that (carpentry skill) from my grandpa who was a furniture builder in North Dakota,” Stuart says. “When I was a kid, my dad showed me how to use the keyhole saw and I would draw toy guns and cut them out. I just like building things out of wood.”

Over time, his projects grew bigger and bolder. “When I homeschooled my daughter in the seventh grade,” he says, “I went to meet with the supervising teacher at Sequoia Middle School and saw a Smithsonian magazine with a Viking ship on the cover. It included all kinds of detail and I told the teacher I could build it and bring it in for the kids to see.”4 continued on page 58 August 2014 ENJOY | 57

His masterpiece to date is a model of a Greek Trimere ship (think Trojan War), weighing in at 40 pounds and measuring almost eight feet from bow to stern, three feet from hull to mast tip and, with oars extended, more than two feet across.

With easy access to the Internet, Stuart began turning increasingly for inspiration to websites featuring ancient ships. With his daughter’s assistance, he printed various pictures and then organized them into a detailed visual template.

Although he found cutaways revealing the interior of the Greek Trimere, he says pictures of the living quarters of the oldest ships are largely absent, adding, “Even the model kits are just a plankon frame and hollow inside.”

Using his imagination, he has begun detailing what he thinks the inside of ships might have looked like on his two most recent projects, The USS Constellation (a sister ship to Old Ironsides) and the Black Pearl from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” both of which feature lighted interiors with removable panels.

“I detailed the living quarters with actual tables and maps (in the Black Pearl),” says Stuart,“ and I created a living area with hammocks.

When I was in the Marine Corps, we were on modern ships with beds but I was thinking about what they would have used then.” Both ships will have cannons on deck.

58 | Enjoy august 2014

Using recycled supply pellets he obtains from a friend, Stuart cuts the predominantly pine wood to 1/8-inch thickness or less, buying only necessary hardware, string and sail material to complete each model.

“The top two desks of theTrimere have brass nails and I used about 10 or 15 feet of string, just enough to let the wind turn the sail and to raise it up and down,” he says. “I’ve made all the pulleys and block and tackle.

It depends on what kind of nails I want to put in the deck, but I do not think I have ever spent more than $40.”

Stuart does not sell his work, nor with few exceptions, display it.

Retired from the Marine Corps in 1972, it was only after talking with a Veterans Administration representative in 1999 that Stuart realized his post-traumatic stress disorder. The shipbuilding is for his enjoyment.

“You have to do something,” he says. “You can’t sit and feel sorry for yourself. It keeps me sane.”

Today, his model of the Greek Trimere is housed at the Sequoia Middle School Library. •

T h e m a ny d e l i g h t s o f t h e S i ss o n m u s e u m The Sisson Museum’s mission is to assist in “illuminating the past, present and future of the Mount Shasta region,” and combining to breathe new life into this Mount Shasta mainstay are well-conceived educational presentations, fresh exhibits, a spectacular new mural and a fresh spirit of volunteerism.

“There is an overall feeling of rejuvenation for the museum in its exhibits, its community outreach, and new educational programs,” said executive director Jean Nels.

“The renewal is partly due to the new members on the board of trustees and new volunteers.”

Nels said a quote written by a visitor in the guest book captures the museum’s essence perfectly: “Beautifully done and organized. Seems all inclusive of all parties that have lived here and developed the area.

Obviously, you have some good volunteers.”

Created in 1983 from a fish hatchery building (don’t miss the teeming trout ponds next door) by a dedicated group of community volunteers, the museum packs an impressive amount of lore, history, artifacts and displays into a venue that offers a fascinating and instructive overview of Mount Shasta and surrounding area. From the earliest Native Americans to the railroads to the spiritual and recreational lure of 14,179-foot Mount Shasta, Sisson Museum spans an impressive swath of history and culture.

Water has never been more important, and “H2O, Stories Water Can Tell” offers an in-depth examination through displays, pictures and multimedia of how essential water is to life, from Native Americans to water issues confronting people today. The museum was assisted4 continued on page 62

by Cal Trout and The Nature Conservancy in creating the exhibit. Volunteers organize and present simple interactive experiments and information on water to the visitors.

Kids are welcome and the interactive play room offers a variety of hands-on activities, often led by friendly, knowledgeable volunteers. The huge model railroad, a detailed, historic HO gauge replication of a route from Dunsmuir to Mount Shasta, delights young and old alike.

Yes, you can push buttons to make the trains go.

When lenticular clouds come swirling around Mount Shasta, downtown strollers are often brought to an aweinspired halt. In 2012, the museum created “Lenticulars – The Spectacular Clouds of Mount Shasta” that brought together dozens of breathtaking pictures from local photographers in addition to the science of these amazing natural phenomena.

Native Americans are represented with a basket display, artifacts in the mural exhibit, history and reliance on water, along with poet/adventurer Juan Joaquin Miller’s experiences with local tribes.

The museum grounds offer a grassy park with picnic tables and the fish hatchery with huge ponds where California breeds the trout that are released into our rivers. A large meeting room in the back hosts a variety of community events. Check the website for the schedule.

First timers will be impressed with what this small but exquisite museum has to offer. Those who have not visited in a while will immediately see that the Sisson Museum is not your grandmother’s exhibition hall.

“It’s music that finds its way deep into your soul because it’s strings vibrating against wood and nothing else.”

—Alison Krauss

D e l l a M a e to p l ay at t h e s i e rr a N e va da B i g R o o m Five years ago, when Della Mae got together, there wasn’t a single all-women bluegrass band on the national touring scene.

Today, this all-female quintet is making a name for itself on the charts and at festivals throughout the country.

They recently won the Emerging Artist of the Year Award at the 2013

International Bluegrass Music Association’s conference, and their latest album, “This World Oft Can Be on Rounder Records,” was nominated for a Grammy in the bluegrass category.

Originator of the band, Kimber Ludiker, is a fourthgeneration fiddler who picked up fiddling the oldfashioned way, by learning with her family.

“My very first memories of playing were actually with my grandpa Lloyd. He used to play fiddle for dances during the Depression for change. My parents, my brother, aunts, uncles and cousins all were fiddlers. Grandpa bought my brother and me our first fiddle. It was a little mini-fiddle.

We’d always get in trouble trying to pick up my parents’ fiddles, so he brought us this little one and I remember sitting in the dining room of my grandma and grandpa’s4 continued on page 66

house and just playing fiddle tunes with him and my brother.

My mom was a fiddle teacher, so when I was a baby, my mom’s students’ parents would be holding me while she taught their kids. Growing up, I was playing American fiddle tunes and Texas-style, Western swing, Bob Wills stuff. I came to bluegrass after going to my first bluegrass festival when I was about 15 years old.”

That upbringing and her commitment to the instrument resulted in her winning the title of Grand National Fiddle Champion in 2009 and 2010.

“When I started this band,” she says, “I started it actually as a joke. Late at night with a group of friends at a music camp in California, we were joking around about how fun it would be to start an all-female bluegrass band that played high-testosterone really fast bluegrass music, what we called ‘man-grass.’”

Ludiker hand-picked the other musicians in Della Mae from musicians, she had gotten to know from all over the country: singer Celia Woodsmith comes from a blues/rock background, guitarist and banjo player Courtney Hartman studied at Berklee College of Music, bassist Shelby Means played with various bands in Nashville, and mandolin player Jenni Lyn Gardner was schooled in traditional bluegrass.

“We booked a couple of shows. The shows were really fun, and we decided it wasn’t a joke anymore. We decided to be a real band and not a gimmick. The music is a combination of the influences of all five of us. We have a singer-songwriter in there, we have an Americana element, we have this kind of indie-pop thing happening. But we’re definitely grounded and rooted in bluegrass.”

The group has toured throughout the United States, performing at festivals, music clubs, house concerts, and churches, in addition to participating in the U.S. State Department’s American Music Abroad program.

66 | Enjoy august 2014

Selected as cultural ambassadors, they spent 43 days traveling in Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, where they collaborated with local musicians, taught educational programs for children, and played concerts for local audiences.

Says Ludiker, “A cool thing about playing music in Central Asian countries is in the lack of distinction their audience places between musical genres. We found that if music is played with feeling, all people connected to it. They find themselves smiling and relating without even understanding the language.

It was so eye-opening. I can credit our formation and maturity over the past year and a half to that trip.”

Della Mae’s first performance on the tour was at a women’s college in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. “It was so fulfilling to see all of these young girls appreciate live music from the United States. It kind of brought about the ignorance of what we have of the people over there. But to go beyond the media, the headlines of what is happening politically, and spend time with people there, whether it was musicians to collaborate with or government officials or being at orphanages, was truly amazing.”

In a relatively short period of time, Della Mae has become a sensation in the music world. Clearly, they are demonstrating how effectively music builds bridges and transcends artificially constructed borders. • Phil Reser has written stories on major American rock and music acts for newspapers, magazines and radio stations since receiving his journalism degree from San Francisco State University. His media contributions include the New York Times, San Francisco Examiner, Chico Enterprise-Record, KCHO & KFPR Public Radio, Blues Revue, and Rolling Stone magazines.

of course Pa n o r a m a Eq u i n e M e d i c a l & Surgical Center in Redding

If we have a foot disorder, we go to a podiatrist; an eye disease, an ophthalmologist; a skin condition, a dermatologist. If we have an animal with any of these ailments, we go to a veterinarian, trusting he or she will be able to diagnose and heal whatever medical condition presents itself.

“Unlike human medicine, where we have various specializations, in veterinary medicine our training and the way we practice is far more general,” says Wallace Liberman, DVM, owner of Panorama Equine Medical & Surgical Center in Redding. Affectionately dubbed “Dr. Wally,” he says,“ We have to become knowledgeable and good at practicing on all organ systems, but we often have a deeper interest in something specific.” That something specific, for him, is equine orthopedics.

A horseman since his early 20s, Liberman concentrated on equine in veterinary school and later specialized in it as part of a mixed

practice in Humboldt County. In mere moments, he can summarize the horse’s evolution from beast of burden to athlete.

“Back in the day, the blacksmith was probably one of the most important and revered people in town,” he says. Today, facilities like his—once limited to university settings—have sprung up around the country, providing the shoeing services of the traditional blacksmith and intervention and treatment for a host of equine maladies.

Panorama, which opened in 1985, specializes in the diagnosis, imaging, medical and surgical treatment of orthopedic conditions like joint, tendon, ligament and axial skeletal problems. “We work mostly on sport horses, animals that are being used in competition, so most of them are injured athletes,” says Liberman who also sees patients in need of dentistry, gastrointestinal, dermatological, ophthalmological and respiratory treatment.4

continued on page 70 August 2014 ENJOY | 69

“Horses are social animals,” he explains. “They do not do well in isolation.”

The facility’s main buildings sit on 15 acres in rural Redding and include an 8,000-square-foot hospital and 10,000 square feet of covered barn space. While recovering in the ICU stalls, patients can look out and see Betty, a research and therapy horse Liberman keeps within view of patients.“Horses are social animals,” he explains. “They do not do well in isolation.”

The induction anesthesia/recovery room, surgical suite, laboratory, shoeing bay, pharmacy and orthopedic barn are located within a short walk of each other. The facility also offers digital nuclear scinitigraphy (bone scanning), digital radiography and x-ray.

With its central location, Redding was the ideal spot for Liberman to relocate and expand full time into equine sports medicine. Clients and patients travel from several hundred miles in all directions, from Sacramento to Southern Oregon and from the coast to Nevada and other western states.

English and Western Performance as well as pleasure, trail and backyard horses are his staple, although Liberman has seen thoroughbreds. “Their sheer size and athleticism make horses difficult to treat, and when you do this work, you will get hurt,” says Liberman, who has been thrown to the ground, kicked, stomped, bitten and had a rib separated from his spine, yet still considers himself lucky. “You learn where to be and not to be (in relation to the animal),” he adds.

Establishing a good veterinary-client-patient relationship is essential. “After diagnosis, you have to come up with several different

70 | Enjoy august 2014

treatment options so that people can choose the best option for themselves and the patient,” he says. In the course of 32 years, not all treatments have met with success.

“Euthanasia is something we hold in high regard in veterinary medicine,” says Liberman, who has a separate euthanasia and necropsy room on site. “An accurate diagnosis is how you get final resolution.

People live with that a lot better and when you do this, you are putting something to rest properly.”

In earlier years, Panorama employed a staff of 15. While it was good at the time, today Liberman prefers to see two to three horses a day, spending hours with each one to obtain a proper diagnosis and treatment.

“I don’t want to be a high volume practice, looking at a horse every 15 minutes,” he says. “I’m much better in complex situations. It is how I like to practice.” • www.panoramaequine.com • (530) 221-7004

craft it R E P U R P O S I N G W ITH HO M E M ADE C HAL K PAI N t One of the most rewarding aspects of repurposing is figuring out how to use an object in a completely different way from its originally intended purpose. A bonus reward would include learning how to create your own specialty paint to finish the project.

I found a broken-down desk on the curb recently. The only salvageable pieces were the drawers. They were sturdy and made of oak, so I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass them up. But what to do with them? After giving it some thought, I had just the thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these lovely wooden items were destined to become shelves! But I was out of my favorite chalk paint, and decided it was time to try my hand at making my own.

Note:

Most hardware stores are selling To make your own chalk paint, you will need matte/flat acrylic paint, Plaster of Paris and water. The ratio that worked best for me was 1 cup of paint, 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris and 1/3 cup of water. The key to perfectly smooth paint is to dump your Plaster of Paris into your water and mix thoroughly.

A handheld mixer would be ideal, especially if you are doing a large batch. Once it is free of clumps, add your paint and stir. Plaster of Paris will run you around $7 for a large box, and it will last you for a very long time.

sample sizes of paint for less than $5. This is a perfect opportunity to test out your chalk paint-

After making a supply of paint (information at left), I took off the old, unattractive handles, filled the holes, and sanded the area smooth. I drilled a hole for the new knobs, which I had found locally at Antique Cottage and Garden and which had been waiting for just the right project. These French beauties are from the 1940s and were looking really rough. I gave them a quick cleaning, a few coats of chalk paint and finished them off with some dark wax.4 continued on page 74

making skills!

August 2014 ENJOY | 73

Up next are the drawers. One of the fabulous things about chalk paint is that it requires absolutely no prep work, except a general dusting and cleaning. As long as your surface is in the condition you want, paint away.

My first coat went on thin, which is standard with store-bought chalk paint as well. The second coat was the finishing touch. I honestly can’t tell a difference between store bought and homemade chalk paint and I will never buy it again. It was so simple to make.

I let the drawers dry overnight (even though chalk paint dries in 30 minutes or less ‒ another big perk) and then took rough steel wool to the surface to achieve a distressed look. I rubbed some places more than others, allowing the dark color of the wood to show through.

I then sealed each drawer with Minwax finishing paste, applying it with a lint-free cloth. The wax goes on smoothly and after 15 minutes you can buff it to your desired level of shine.Once it was fully dry, I installed my “new” old knobs and attached sawtooth hangers to the backs of the drawers. Now they are ready to hang and display all sorts of little treasures.

The one report that seems to be consistent from users of homemade chalk paint is that it doesn’t store well once mixed, and won’t last longer than two weeks. So when making a batch, make sure you don’t make more than you need. You should also store your Plaster of Paris in a cool place, tightly sealed. •

Until the late 1930s all the logging by Fruit Growers Supply Company was by rail. This photo, taken in 1923, is of Shay #4 & 5 on Grouse Creek. Photo courtesy of HiltCalifornia.com

C a l i f o rn i a ' s Br i g a d o o n : T h e Lo s t C i t y o f H i lt

Rising up into the Siskiyou Mountains, cars speed north on Interstate 5 past the last town in California. If they stopped and took the Hilt exit, with the exception of an office and a few scattered homes, the rolling hills and an empty road would be all they would see. However, if you knew when to look, once a year you could find this town once again, appearing with its own Brigadoon existence.

Men from Oregon crossed the border in 1902 to form the Hilt Sugar Pine Company. Eight years later, the Fruit Growers Supply Company purchased the town and lumber mill, remaining for the next 62 years. Hilt didn't appear out of nowhere. The Cole family ranch, an established stage stop, and the Bailey Hill School District were built before 1902. A toll road over the Siskiyous ended here. The road, built

by A.G. Rockefeller, cousin of John D. Rockefeller, charged horsemen 25 cents for passage. Owner John Hilt sold the old sawmill to the Oregonians. The new company established a town, producing 35,000 board feet of lumber a day.

The town expanded in 1906, when “Slim” Warrens bought $10,000 of lumber company stock in exchange for the right to build a saloon on company property. The mill added on at this time, building a box factory while the community’s first hotel was constructed and a row of houses added. In 1910, the owners, the Northern California Lumber Company, found themselves in extreme debt, allowing the Fruit Growers to purchase the assets. The new owners added a large steam engine, providing the factory and some homes with electricity. By 1911, Fruit Growers was producing two million boxes and 15,370,000 board feet of lumber a year.4 continued on page 78 August 2014 ENJOY | 77

What is likely is the original Hilt store. It was expanded many times over the years, having annexes which served as the Fruit Growers Supply Company offices and the Post Office. This photo is from 1902 after John Hilt sold his lumber holdings and sawmill to four Grants Pass, Ore., businessmen. Photo courtesy of HiltCalifornia.com

In 1927, a new schoolhouse was built northeast of town and the larger of these two buildings became the town hospital.

By 1913, a movement called “Better Roads” began, proposing for improved roadways to be constructed across the United States, including over the Siskiyous, following the route of the toll road. This later would become the general path of Interstate 5, being completed in 1915 as Highway 99. With more access, Hilt continued to grow.

However, in 1932, plans were made to shut down the community.

Railroad logging became impractical, but the new road and the ability to make roads kept the operation alive as new access to timber was acquired. By 1940, the highway was reengineered and modernized.

In the 1950s, Hilt began to improve itself. The mill was upgraded.

Homes were painted. A volunteer fire crew was formed. With the changing times, the Box Factory was closed, and by 1965, the lumber mill was producing 37.8 million board feet a year.

From Old West-style stagecoach robberies to the baseball team in the 1950s, the town reflected the life of each American decade passing by. Men went hunting. Children climbed rocks and fished. Summer afternoons were spent swimming in the pond. The annual company picnic drew the people together. Families grew up as the seasons marked the life of this village.

As the town reached its peak in production, the lumber industry began to change. In October 1972, the closing of the Hilt Mill was announced. The saw blades ceased spinning on June 27, 1973. Within six months, the post office was closed. One year after the work stopped, the sawmill caught fire, but no one was left in town to put the fire out.

This year marks the 40th reunion of Hilt residents and workers. On the first Sunday of August each year, they gather to remember their time here. The town comes to life through the people who called Hilt their home. Tables are full of photographs and conversations are mixed with memories.

One might be tempted to be sad, but as Hilt makes its yearly appearance one can hear the whispers of the citizens of Brigadoon: “And this town is only a cursed place, if ye make it so. To the rest of us, ‘tis a blessed place.” • hiltcalifornia.com/Hilt/Welcome.html

WHAT’S COOKIN’

BY LANA GRANFORS

Grilled fresh and juicy corn on the cob is perfect this time of year, as the last thing any of us want to do is spend time in a hot kitchen. Sweet and tender, the kernels need almost no seasoning, but why not indulge yourself?

Make a delicious herb butter, a compound butter, and use it to add a ton of flavor not only to corn, but to your grilled steaks, grilled or steamed seafood, baked potatoes and grilled veggies.

For this grilled corn recipe, I went with Roasted Garlic and Basil, and Cilantro and Lime. Both are pure summer goodness. A few more of my favorite flavor combinations are Blue Cheese and Rosemary, Lemon with Chives, and Rosemary Parmesan Herb. Just use your imagination and create your favorite. With compound butters, flavor options are limitless. And the best part is they don’t require any cooking. Such a treat!

82 | Enjoy august 2014

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Roasted specialty Butters serves: 6-8 roasted garlic & basil butter ingredients:

1 stick of butter, softened to room temperature but not melted 3 large cloves of roasted garlic (chopped) 2 T chopped basil Salt and pepper, to taste Plastic wrap (about 12 inches long) 6-8 corn on the cob (husks on)

cilantro-lime butter ingredients:

½

6-8

stick of butter, softened to room temperature but not melted clove minced garlic Salt and pepper, to taste T minced cilantro T lime juice Zest of 1 lime Plastic wrap (about 12 inches long) corn on the cob (husks on)

PREPARATION for Roasted Garlic and Basil Butter 1 | Soften butter to room temperature. Combine roasted garlic, basil, and salt and pepper to

taste. Mix well. Roll up in plastic wrap and chill until firm. When firm, serve sliced.

PREPARATION for Cilantro-Lime Butter 1 | Soften butter to room temperature. Combine garlic, salt and pepper, cilantro, lime juice and

zest. Mix well. Roll up in plastic wrap and chill until firm. When firm, serve sliced.

NOTE Compound butters will last in the refrigerator for about 5 days, in the freezer for a month.

Refrigerated butters should sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Frozen butters should sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.

PREPARATION for the CORN 1 | Soak corn in water, fully covered, for 30 minutes.

2 | Heat a grill for an indirect cooking method. Soaking the corn will prevent husks from burning, and the indirect cooking method will allow for slow roasting of grilled corn.

3 | Remove corn from water and place corn near indirect medium heat of grill. Place cover on grill and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove cover and rotate corn. Cook for another 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

4 | If you want to caramelize the corn kernels, peel back the corn husk and place back on grill and cook until corn kernels are a golden brown color.

Soak: 30 minutes; Prep butters: 10 minutes once butter softened Cook: 10–15 minutes

Second Nature

Billy +Patrick

by Billy Pilgrim Our garden, our happy place...a slice of heaven in our backyard.

There is almost no place I’d rather be on a summer evening than South Redding in our organic garden.

I must have inherited a green thumb from someone in my family. I just know that from the time I was a teenager growing up in Southern California, I have been fascinated with plants, landscaping and gardening, and the process continues to give me unlimited peace and It’s all joy.

It begins organic. every I haven’t February at used a our house when pesticide, we start herbicide preparing the soil for or chemical spring. We fertilizer in invested in some of our garden the best for 17 years, organic soil and almost available a few years everything ago (thank thrives. you Bare Roots) and continue to add to it every year - new soil, compost tea and worms from the worm farm my daughter got me for Father’s Day, and fresh organic mulch.

We say some prayers during the preparation and ask for a successful gardening season.

It’s all organic. I haven’t used a pesticide, herbicide or chemical fertilizer in our garden for 17 years, and almost everything thrives.

A pure environment means more bees for pollination, and we have many.

They visit the blossoms that eventually become the fruits and vegetables on our dinner table.

Much of it is experience, and a lot of it is experimentation and guesswork. I have tried to find plants that are compatible with one another, and we plant in some pretty tight spaces.

We have tomatoes that are more than six feet high, and trailing vines producing squash, strawberries and lemon cucumbers. And among the veggies are blueberries, a butterfly bush, marigolds, echinacea, grapes, rosemary and lavender. They all seem to get along pretty well with one another.

I am so grateful for our marvelous garden and amazed by what it can produce in the Redding heat. This year looks like it is going to be one of the best years ever. Thank you,

Mother Nature!

ENJOY: Tell us how you got started in the chocolate business.

NANCY: Thirty-one years ago this September, I started wholesale—I was selling to delis, markets and that type of thing for about three years.

Then I opened a retail shop in the old Sherven Square building, and I did a booming business in wholesale and retail, but then I focused on retail for a while. It was very popular and very good. When See’s Candies was coming to town, people thought they were going to put me out of business, but that didn’t happen and that was awesome. We decided in 1994 to move over to Market Street, where we opened a restaurant and combined it with Chocolat de Nannette. Then we started a candy bar business, after I was asked if I could produce Mount Shasta Chocolate Bars to promote local bike trails and walking trails. I’ve been doing that candy bar business for 11 years, and we’ve also done candy bars for Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the Weed Store. By 2007, I went back to wholesale, we turned our restaurant business over to our son, Wes, and it became Market Street Steakhouse.

ENJOY: What do people love about your product?

NANCY: I think I make a very good chocolate. It’s very rich – you just can’t buy it in the grocery store. It’s gourmet chocolate. I think people enjoy that it’s handmade; I will not go to the machinery. A lot of people have converted their truffles to machine-made, and to me, that’s just not truffles.

ENJOY: Do you make everything yourself?

NANCY: I started my business on truffles, so that’s really the only

chocolate that I make myself now. Helpers come in and help with the other chocolates, but the truffles are a secret recipe inside my head.

ENJOY: Where does your candy-crafting magic happen now?

NANCY: I have a wholesale kitchen downstairs in the downtown mall. I still do custom work for offices that want to do gift-giving for the holidays. Mercy Medical Center does a huge order with me every September to thank their employees, and I see nurses who say, “I can’t wait ‘til I get my truffles.” It’s pretty exciting to hear that.

ENJOY: Of course, we’re delighted that your chocolates can be found at Enjoy the Store.

NANCY: I’ve been doing Enjoy the Store for about three years now.

Before, they just dabbled in chocolate, but they recently put in a candy case, and I get to fill it all, and it’s really exciting. We have truffles, haystacks, chocolate bark – I just introduced caramel sea salt truffles and caramel sea salt bark. Enjoy the Store Red Bluff likes that candy case and wanted one, so we’re getting ready this week to get that all loaded.

That’s very exciting. I also supply Holiday Market at Buenaventura Boulevard in Redding, which was my only retail outlet for many years.

ENJOY: What’s the most fun part about making chocolate?

NANCY: Just working with it – and if you want to have a piece of chocolate, you can. I love creating with chocolate. I think it’s the best item on the food chain. I don’t think there are very many people out there who don’t like chocolate, so it’s an easy sell.

FROM THE HEART

“Inspiring hope and improving the quality of life for heart patients and their families through ongoing peer-to-peer support.x” ~ Mended Hearts Mission Statement

Mended Hearts is a national and community-based non-profit organization that offers the gift of hope to heart disease patients, their families and caregivers. Recognized for its role in facilitating a positive patient-care experience, now aligned with the American College of Cardiology, Mended Hearts is celebrating 60 years of service.

They have more than 300 local chapters and satellites nationwide, and they partner with 460 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics.

Mended Hearts offers services to heart patients through visiting programs, support group meetings and educational forums. The North State has two chapters: Mercy Medical Center Redding and St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka.

Support groups help people understand that there can be a rich, rewarding life after heart disease diagnosis. Members listen, share their experiences and volunteer to talk to other heart patients about what they may face, including lifestyle changes, depression, recovery and treatment. Mended Hearts volunteers offer peer-to-peer support to patients, family members and caregivers via hospital visiting (an in-person visit from a Mended Hearts volunteer during recovery), online visiting (email check-ins and providing materials electronically) and phone visiting to provide a word of hope.

How you can help: Mended Hearts is built upon the principles of service, charity and partnership. Businesses, community organizations and individuals can help them offer hope and educate patients about cardiovascular health, empowering them as they manage a heart-healthy lifestyle. Become a member of a local chapter, join the conversation on Inspire, Facebook or Twitter, get matched with volunteer opportunities, make a tax-deductible donation to fund their educational programs or provide a corporate sponsorship. To become an Accredited Mended Hearts Visitor at your local hospital, you must have experienced a “heart event” (bypass, stents, valve, etc). Mended Hearts at Mercy Medical Center in Redding is currently looking for volunteers who would like to become Accredited Visitors. For more information on how to volunteer, please contact Barbara Grosch at (530) 549 4872.
