HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY, ENJOY!

editor’s note october 2018

AS LEAVES TURN from green into vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow, we are celebrating Enjoy Magazine’s 12th birthday – and we’re ready to live it up!

This month, we’re also honoring some of the remarkable women in the North State. We’re proud of our female community leaders who are building a vision for the North State’s future, including Redding Rancheria CEO Tracy Edwards, who returned to the area after college to give back to the community that invested in her.

We’re thinking pink this month, and several North State businesswomen are helping women with cancer feel beautiful in the midst of their battle. Heidi Prado has turned the daunting process of wig shopping into an empowering, even fun adventure at Bella La Vie. Then there’s Shanna McCracken, whose Beyond Beauty Esthetics and More provides a welcoming, safe place for women battling cancer to receive customized beauty services.

They’re just a few of the local women making their mark in the business world. Entrepreneur Judy Crawford

creates imaginative winter headwear through her company, Tsasdi. And the “Ladies of the 600 Block” in Red Bluff are showing how teamwork makes many dreams work – meet them at the annual Sip and Shop fashion show extravaganza.

On the artistic side, Erin Dertner shows us how to enliven our creative souls through art, while Nicki Carlisle is building the next generation of fiddlers. And after doubling the size of her family by adopting four children from Ethiopia, Natalie Gwyn decided to share her story with the world by writing “Okayest Mom” – a Today Show favorite.

In honor of our 12th anniversary, we’d like to once again thank our readers, advertisers and contributors for their unwavering support to this venture. It is our privilege to tell your stories, and we look forward to sharing everything that’s Enjoy-able about the North State for many years to come.

YVONNE MAZZOTTA & MICHELLE ADAMS CO-PUBLISHERS, ENJOY MAGAZINE

HOW DO WE SEE OUR TOWN: FULL OF POTENTIAL… One of the best things about our job at Enjoy Magazine is having the opportunity to look for the blessings in our community. We don’t take this responsibility lightly, and it’s a joy to come to work every day as a result. Even when it can be difficult at first glance to find the beauty in our world, a deeper look always reminds us that we live in a truly special place.

Case in point: When the Carr Fire came and ravaged our community, the North State stood tall, stood together and said, “We will rebuild.” Through the devastation, we witnessed the resilience of our community, the generosity of our community and the love in our community. Just like we’re starting to see of signs of tiny, green plants emerging from the ashes, rebuilding brings the opportunity for new and beautiful things.

And new things were already happening, new things to help shape the future of our city. A revitalization. A renaissance. New developments were already starting in downtown, from the K2 project replacing the old Dicker’s building to the McConnell project for the former police station. With Enjoy offices being located in downtown Redding, we ourselves have eagerly anticipated these imaginative projects. We have also enjoyed the new businesses already opening up nearby, from Wilda’s (love the Buddha Bowl) to Final Draft Brewing Company to the Fashion Alliance and Bella La Vie Wigs and so many more – they’re business owners like us, taking a chance on their dreams, partnering to create a thriving downtown for everyone to enjoy. The fire knocked us down – but it hasn’t knocked us out. That’s the spirit that we see every day in our community.

After 12 years of telling stories about the North State, we’ve seen that there’s no limit to the remarkable things coming from our area, and that it’s still so full of potential. It’s been a privilege to share these stories with our readers over this last decade and we look forward to many more years of storytelling about our incredible community.

EMPOWERED W O M E N O F V I S I O N M A K I N G A D I F F E R E N C E I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E SOMETHING IS HAPPENING in the North State. It is a force that is connecting women with themselves, with one another and with their dreams. Women are coming together to empower one another and make a positive impact. They are becoming united with one another and the struggles of being a woman in this world. It is a movement that is popping up in all parts of the world.

Mariz Brown is the forerunner to the movement in the North State. In 2016, she discovered women’s empowerment groups in the form of blogs, podcasts and social media. During this time she became involved with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Through the sport, she gained confidence and realized a passion – that she wanted to help people. She wanted to cheer them on and

encourage them to take actions toward their goals, even if it meant taking them by the hand.

“Just as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu helped me with confidence, I thought that if I joined a women’s empowerment group, it might help me build new connections in the community and allow me to help encourage women to pursue their dreams,” Brown says. “I decided to join a women’s empowerment group in Redding, but there was none. It was then that I came across the quote by Abbie Hoffman, ‘The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.’”

Brown summoned up the courage to organize an event to see if the community would embrace a women’s empowerment group. This was the beginning for Women of Vision.4

“Women of Vision has become my tribe and my supporters when I am in need of encouragement or just feel like I have hit a wall,” says fashion designer and seamstress Kerri Medel of Kerri Bren Clothing. “They are also the first to celebrate with me any victory, big or small. This community of fellow businesswomen has become pivotal in my life both personally and professionally.”

Dana Grant, a life coach and co-founder of Califlour Foods, adds, “I am so blessed to be part of this community. A group of women entrepreneurs connecting and growing their businesses with structure and sisterhood – that’s exactly what Women of Vision represents. We rise by lifting each other up.”

The third Friday of each month is a vision development meeting, in which a main speaker discusses various topics such as goal setting, harmony vs. balance and developing speaker skills. The spotlight business speaker can promote upcoming specials and discuss their journey and personal stories of succeeding. “This meeting is all about how we can develop our mindset to achieve our goals, dreams and passions,” Brown explains. “It is helping women develop their mindset as well as sharpening their skills to become more successful.”

The upcoming small business Saturday Scavenger Hunt on Nov. 24 places women-owned businesses on a map with other vendors located inside. Shoppers collect raffle tickets to increase the chances of winning one of three gift baskets, which each contain more than $500 worth of goods,

products and services. This event encourages support for women-owned businesses as well as shopping local.

Women of Vision also maintains the Thrivers Blog Series, which is written by members of the organization.

“The premise is on self/personal development, stories on business and self growth, educational and tutorial posts and how-to’s of running a business,” Brown says. The Women of Vision radio show is also broadcast on Hella 87.7FM, every Saturday from 10 to 10:15 am. Podcasts of the show can be found on SoundCloud and iTunes.

As for the future of this group, Brown says, “My vision is to develop change agents – members who go out into the community and make positive impacts not just to women, but to people in general.” • Women of Vision www.womenofvisionmovement.com Find them on Facebook Christy Milan, with a passion for storytelling and a love of words, has been pursuing her dream that encompasses adventure and community connections.

M O R E T H A N O K AY N ATA L I E G W Y N - AU T H O R , B LO G G E R A N D O K AY E S T M O M SOMETIMES, THE PATH we are supposed to walk is laid out before us early in life. At other times, it is revealed slowly but surely, amid time and circumstances. The latter is the case with Natalie Gwyn, Redding native, author, blogger, wife and mother of six. Gwyn, who had no

prayed about it for an entire year. During that time, I realized that our story was important and that I needed to make the time to write it,” says Gwyn.

Gwyn’s book, “Okayest Mom,” took about a year to write. In between caring for six children and her work as a

previous writing background or aspirations of becoming an author, said it was her husband, Scott Putnam, who first broached the subject of telling the story of their family with his wife.

“When my husband first mentioned it to me, I thought he was crazy. I thought, ‘Who has time to write a book?’ I

fitness instructor at True Ride, Gwyn carved out time to write every day. Sometimes, she’d write while sitting in her car, waiting for her kids’ soccer practice to begin.

Other times, she wrote her story when her kids went to bed and she could steal a few quiet moments at a coffee shop at night.4 continued on page 24 OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“...LOVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. IF NOTHING ELSE, IF I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE LOVED WELL, I’VE DONE ALL I NEEDED TO DO THAT DAY.” And did she ever have a story to tell. Gwyn and her husband, owners of Apex Technology Management for the last 17 years, sensing that there was something more on the horizon for their family, set out on a new life adventure with one simple prayer. “Scott and I asked God ‘to break our hearts for what breaks His.’ We were open to beginning our own ministry – but mostly, we were open to whatever God wanted us to do,” says Gwyn.

Fourteen years and two children into their marriage, Scott Putnam made the suggestion that perhaps they should adopt a baby. “But, there is a long line of parents waiting to adopt a baby and a long line of older children waiting to be adopted. We wanted to go where there was the greatest need,” Gwyn says.

After a year-long process, the couple was matched with an older sibling set of three in Ethiopia.

What they learned after agreeing to adopt the three siblings was that life had one more beautiful surprise in store for them. The three-sibling set was actually a set of four. The oldest child in the family was not with her siblings at the orphanage. Because she wasn’t in the custody of the orphanage, trying to adopt her could delay the process of adoption. The agency didn’t recommend trying to adopt her. With the agency offering a bleak 50 percent chance that she could be brought back home with her siblings, the couple had a difficult choice to make.

“It was a big, scary step of faith for us,” says Gwyn. “It took us only a weekend to make the decision. When we left for Ethiopia, even after hearing that it would take two years, we were back home in Redding with all four kids in four months. It was miraculous.”

Leah, 15, Naomi, 14, Micah, 13, and Levi, 10, became a part of the Putnam family the moment the couple made the decision to adopt, but the process, like any large shift in life, wasn’t without some growing pains. Gwyn says the first year was undoubtedly the hardest on record for all eight of them. “Trying to blend two families, two histories, two cultures into one – well, it’s harder than you could ever imagine,” Gwyn shares. “Going through the process was like a refining fire. It was hard. It was painful. But we are stronger for it. I can’t imagine my life any other way.”

24

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2018

The biggest takeaways from that life-altering year, Gwyn says, were compassion and grace: “It really did teach us how to have compassion for people who are going through a hard time. Hardship can manifest in lots of ways. You never know what people are going though at home.”

Gwyn says welcoming the four siblings into their hearts and home has expanded their horizons as a family, but has had the most profound effect on their two biological children, Joel, 17, and Hannah, 14. “They have become so different because of it.

They see beyond our city and our country to the entire world. Their hearts have grown exponentially because of their siblings.”

Naomi and Hannah, born six weeks apart on opposite sides of the world, have not only become sisters – they have become best friends. “I call them my twins,” Gwyn says.

As for Gwyn, she says their life experience has exposed areas of weakness, but it has provided the rich soul needed to become a more patient person. She has learned to extend grace, not only to her family and others, but to herself. The book’s title, “Okayest Mom,” was born out of a running joke that the family shares in their home. “I always joke with my kids that they have the world’s okayest mom,” Gwyn says with a laugh.

At its core, “Okayest Mom”- a Today Show favorite – is the story of one family’s journey to find each other. It is a reminder that perfection is not only unattainable, but perhaps even a ridiculous notion altogether. It’s an anthem that gives moms, dads and children the confidence to accept their imperfections with love and laughter.

“Perfection is hard,” she says. “Moving on, instead of beating ourselves up, is the best approach. Love is the most important thing. If nothing else, if I can say that I have loved well, I’ve done all I needed to do that day.” • www.Nataliegwyn.com

S K I N CA R E T H R O U G H T H E AG E S I TRY TO KEEP the attitude that aging is a blessing; after all, what is the alternative? But just because you rack up some trips around the sun doesn’t mean your skin needs to tell the world exactly how many. Get your best skin at every age.

Here are some radiance-boosting strategies and powerhouse products designed to outsmart aging in every decade.

20s

PROTECT AND PREVENT Dermatologists agree: The best thing you can do for 20-something skin is to apply—and reapply—sunscreen daily, rain or shine. If only I had listened! UV exposure accounts for up to 90 percent of visible aging, making sunscreen your best defense against spots and wrinkles. Choose a formula with SPF 30 or higher, and combine it with retinol to increase cell turnover and further stave off the arrival of fine lines.

Fight acne and aging with superhero ingredient retinol, which helps with fine lines as well as the breakouts triggered by hormones, nutritional choices or lack of sleep and stress. It’s important to be mindful of what you put on your skin, as it can contribute to your overall well-being.

Try Honest Beauty Younger+Clearer Resurfacing Cleanser, $18; Younger+Clearer Night Serum, $38; StriVectin Advanced Retinol Day Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $99.

30s

SMOOTH SKIN WITH MULTITASKERS Changes to your skin texture, like large pores and fine lines that may start to appear in your 30s, can be minimized with glycolic acid, which stimulates cell turnover. When applied topically, glycolic acid sloughs off the dead cells that accumulate on the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother, more refined complexion. When committing to a new skin-care step, especially a multitasking one, patience is key. Stick with something for several months before moving on. Try Lancôme Absolue Precious Cells Rose Drop Night Peeling Concentrate, $110. Vitamin C, which has been popping up in a slew of new skin-care products, is a powerful 4

antioxidant that fades dark spots and any irregular pigmentation, so your skin looks brighter and more even-toned. For best results, use a vitamin C serum in the morning (you can mix it in with your SPF) to neutralize damaging free-radicals, and again at night so your skin restores itself while you sleep. (Try Rhonda Allison C-Stem Cell serum, $80.)

40s

TARGET COLLAGEN Now’s the time to focus on rebuilding collagen, a structural protein that’s essential for keeping your complexion plump and line-free. Look for products that deliver essential amino acids and copper to the deepest layers of the skin’s surface to target collagen type III – which is abundant at birth and decreases as we age – collagen type I, elastin and hyaluronic acid. (Try the L’Oréal Revitalift line, such as Triple Power Intensive Skin Revitalizer serum+moisturizer, $24.99.)

And don’t forget the skin on your body!

Nourish with honey from head to toe. Not only is it extremely soothing, it’s also well known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial attributes. ( Jergens Nourishing Honey Dry Skin Moisturizer, $5.99.)

50s

SOFTEN LINES Research has found that the damaging effects of sun exposure, pollution and chronic stress have a significant impact on the aging process, which, by the time you’re in your 50s, show up as wrinkles and creases. Skin hydration levels decrease naturally at night, which is why choosing an effective moisturizer before bed is so important. Look for products that contain ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which draw in and retain moisture in the skin. Choose a moisturizer that also has peptides to stimulate collagen, and antioxidants to optimize skin’s restorative properties while you sleep.

Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour AutoReplenishing Hydrator promises three days of continuous moisturizing, thanks to a new technology that helps the skin rehydrate itself ($19). And RoC Retinol Correxion Max Daily Hydration Crème has wrinkle-fighting retinol to speed up cell turnover at night ($22.99).

28

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2018

60s

FIRM YOUR NECK You can’t stop gravity, but you can fight its results (i.e. sagging and slack skin) by committing to a neck cream.

A good formula should contain skin plumpers like hyaluronic acid, as well as firming ingredients such as peptides and algae extract. You don’t necessarily need a separate product, as a night cream will do just fine, but L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect HydraNutrition Golden Balm Face, Neck & Chest ($20) is targeted specifically for the neck and décolleté. Or try a serum, which can be used on the face as well (No7 Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi Action Serum, $34).

No matter what product you choose, be sure it has ingredients to visibly lift and tighten the skin, as well as smooth horizontal necklines.

Ultimately, though the arsenal of products in your medicine cabinet can slow down the aging process and make your skin glow, making healthy lifestyle choices is the best thing you can do, not only for your skin but for your overall well being. Stopping smoking and other dangerous habits, choosing a diet rich in antioxidants and getting enough exercise and rest are the things that will truly make a difference in the long run. •

T H E

VISION R E D D I N G R A N C H E R I A’ S C E O, T R AC Y E D WA R D S MORE THAN just the Win-River Resort and Casino, the Redding Rancheria is also the tribal land of the Wintun, Achomawi and Yana Indians.

Located between Redding and Anderson, this 30-acre reservation is just a fraction of their ancestral home, but remains a center for their culture and tradition.

Tracy Edwards, the CEO of Redding Rancheria, may not have grown up on the Rancheria, but she calls it home. Her mother was raised there, and her grandmother was an elder of the tribe.

“She was one of our original distributees,” says Edwards, explaining how in the 1950s and ‘60s, the California Rancheria Termination Acts essentially ended tribes in California.

“The Rancheria was divided and sold off into parcels,” continues Edwards, “but our tribe was reestablished in 1983. My grandmother was still living on the Rancheria during its re-recognition and we call those people elders.”

Edwards graduated from Anderson High School then attended UCLA, where she studied political science with a minor in philosophy.

“When I left to go to school, I’ll be honest, I did not intend to return,” she says. But as Edwards prepared to enter law school, she became pregnant with her first of three children, and something shifted.

“Literally the day I found out I was pregnant, I couldn’t figure out quick enough how to get back home.” Maybe it was the tug of family or tradition, but Edwards attended law school at UC Davis to be closer to home, and after graduating became the Rancheria’s tribal attorney.

She says with a laugh that she knew nothing as a new lawyer, “but I was fortunate because my tribe had faith in me. They brought me in and basically I acquired my experience by working on the job.”4 continued on page 34

OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Serving as tribal lawyer was a unique experience for Edwards, since the tribe has civil jurisdiction on the reservation.

“So I could write laws and be part of developing civil laws in the Rancheria,” says Edwards, who took on an almost legislative role in addition to attorney.

“It was the best job in the world,” says Edwards. “How many lawyers get to actually write laws?”

And Edwards wasn’t just writing laws for a client, but laws that would impact the future of her community and family.

“Everything we do, we do for the second generation,” says Edwards, who was motivated by the question, “What would this law mean for my grandkids’ grandkids?”

Today, Edwards serves the Rancheria as its CEO, a position she says she didn’t expect.

“It’s nothing I went to school for or intended to do, and it’s more about the people.”

Edwards adds that in addition to her role as CEO, both the CFO and COO are women, as was the CEO before her.

“I think that’s unique,” she says, though she adds that some tribes are matriarchal. “But I think it’s also unique in the bigger scheme of the world and the nation that our three top executives are all women. And I’m proud of that.”

Men or women leading, the Rancheria serves its 260-member tribal community, but also strives to serve the broader community, which perhaps is natural for a community whose heritage extends well beyond the 30 acres of the Rancheria.

“We consider all of California our ancestral land,” Edwards says.

“We’ll always be here. Also, we live in the community, because there are only 30 acres on the Rancheria. And our tribal elders and family members worked in the area, worked in the fields.”

34

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2018

Edwards strives to include the broader community in the general plan of the Rancheria, “and if we’re going to invite the community into the Rancheria, we need to share our vision with them,” she says.

“We have really worked hard to be a part of the community and explain what we are doing and including the community in our strategic plan … and for the most part, people trust that we have the best of the community at heart.”

Offering an example, Edwards continues, “not only do we have a clinic that serves the Native American population in our area, and currently we have about 17,000 active patients (though only about 260 tribal members), but we also just opened a clinic that sees medical patients regardless whether they’re native or non-native.”

The Rancheria also opened a clinic in Weaverville that serves native and non-native alike.

“That’s been very satisfying,” says Edwards, “to serve a population of people that don’t always get the respect or care that they deserve.

That’s very important to us, that we can do that with good doctors, and get people the care they need.

“And once you get to know each other, you find out that we’re really not all that different,” she adds.

It was something of a plot twist that Edwards, who had not intended to return to the Rancheria, now serves as its CEO. But in retrospect, her decision seems absolutely natural.

“Every month, we take our elders to dinner, and I’m very lucky. The culture of the tribe allows me to have that closeness to family and extended family. I get to see my aunts and uncles and cousins and my mom,” says Edwards. “I am very fortunate.” • Jordan Venema is a freelance writer and California native.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JON LEWIS

harvesting dreams B R A N D I G R E E N E C R U S H E S I T AT B U R N S I N I V I N E YA R D S

IT WAS THE SECOND DAY of harvest in 2017 when Brandi Greene realized she truly was seeing her dream come true. The epiphany, of sorts, arrived when her Burnsini Vineyards co-workers and field hands started calling her “Forklift.”

The nickname (which was later changed to the more flattering “Junior”) meant Greene, Burnsini’s new managing partner and winemaker, had established herself in the eyes of those who put more stock in capable, hands-on involvement than they do in labels and fancy business cards.

Greene came by the moniker honestly. Operating the forklift is a critical skill at a winery – mistakes when handling 60-gallon oak barrels full of Cabernet Sauvignon can be very costly. It was the first thing Tom Burnham taught Greene while handing over the keys to Burnsini.

Burnham and his wife, Joy, joined Jim and Deanna Tomasini to establish Burnsini Vineyards in 2000 and carefully grew the hobby-turned-profession until it came time to sell last year. The transaction became a reality

when Greene joined with partners James and Casey Rickert (all three are active in Catalyst Redding Young Professionals) and Beth Lemke, who owns a wine bar in Pacifica, to purchase Burnsini.

Owning and operating a winery has been a dream of Greene’s for years, dating back to before she graduated Oregon State University in 2005 with a degree in food and fermentation science. She actually worked at four different wineries, but left the industry as a 23-year-old “and I said I’d never come back until I owned a winery. I changed career paths because I had no idea how to make my dream come true.”

Greene used her degree, and a postbaccalaureate certificate in environmental science, to work as an environmental chemist. She started in the field of decommissioning chemical weapon manufacturers and for the past 11 years has worked for an engineering firm that focuses on Environmental Protection Agency4

“We can grow certain great grapes, but we’re not trying to be Napa Valley. I’m proud of the wine I make and I’d never put it in the bottle if I can’t stand behind it.”

Superfund sites and burned areas, including the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa.

Greene works as a chemist two or three days a week to allow her time to focus on the winery. She cherishes the opportunity to run a winery and is committed to protecting Burnsini’s legacy. “It has a long history already and it’s important to me that it continues on,” Greene says.

Some three-quarters of the 10-acre vineyard are in production, with the first vines taking root in 1998. A boutique winery, Bursini produces between 2,000 and 2,500 cases a year. Varietals currently offered include Sangiovese, a Sangiovese-based Rose, Zinfandel, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Two blends – Ms. Tehama and Friends – also are popular.

Hearty reds and Spanish and Italian varietals bear up well during Cottonwood’s hot summer days, Greene says.

“This is a climate built for Zinfandels,” the winemaker adds. “The key to growing grapes is picking varietals that do well, and not just what you want to grow.”

Greene says she has a particular fondness for Sangiovese, a varietal she fell in love with after touring Tuscany. “I never had a Sangiovese I liked until then. When I

38

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2018

purchased Burnsini and found out there was a Sangiovese planting, I was so excited about it. I worked on it to make it one of our best.”

In the near future, Greene says she’d like to introduce Barbera and Nebbiolo vines since they’re both hearty vines that can get through the North State’s hot days.

“The reality is I farm grapes,” Greene says with a laugh. “We can grow certain great grapes, but we’re not trying to be Napa Valley. I’m proud of the wine I make and I’d never put it in the bottle if I can’t stand behind it.”

Many of Burnsini’s offerings can be cellared, but Greene leans toward a philosophy that the fruits of one’s labors should be celebrated posthaste. “I’m happy to produce wines that people enjoy, not wines to put away and never drink.

Tom (Burnham) and I both don’t hold to strict schedules, like 36 months in the barrel for Merlot. We bottle it when it’s ready.”

Greene is also working to continue Burnsini’s status as a popular meeting spot for weddings, parties and other events. The vineyard recently hosted a farm-tofork event with Tehama Together (a four-course meal where everything except the sale and pepper was sourced from Tehama County) as well as a Shasta Land Trust dinner in the vineyard.

One of Greene’s greatest accomplishments, says Rachel Hatch, her friend and fellow Catalyst Redding co-facilitator, is simply being a homegrown professional who opted to return and direct her talents toward helping the North State.

“One of the things I appreciate about Brandi is the way she is capable of both being an individual contributor and building the entire system,” Hatch says. “For example, she not only is a woman in science, but she also has helped power the local STEM activities for kids; she is not only a winemaker herself, but she has also grown the whole ecosystem of local beer and wine through her efforts to grow Redding Beer Week over the years. She embodies the Catalyst Young Professionals mission of enhancing the vibe of Redding.” • Burnsini Vineyards • 19535 Hammers Lane, Cottonwood Tasting room hours: Thursday-Sunday, noon to 5 pm • www.burnsini.com

STEM CELLS ...

OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM

Stem cells are precursor cells designed to be stimulated by the body’s future need to regenerate. In essence, these cells are “blank slates” that can become whatever the body needs. We naturally use them throughout our lives to replenish damaged areas and to keep ourselves functioning properly. Stem cells are capable of “turning into” tissue of various types when the body sends out biochemical messages that cause these cells to activate.

Their role is to aid in the regeneration and regrowth of damaged or aging structures throughout our lives.

BY SANDIE TILLERY

MENDOCINO ARTIST ERIN DERTNER IT’S BEEN A LONG and ongoing journey of growth and discovery for internationally renowned North State artist Erin Dertner, who has seen great success and opportunities throughout her career. “Painting, studying and teaching the subject of light is Erin’s driving force,” says her online bio. “The cool shadows of the early morning and those that fall long and warm in the evening enliven her creative soul as nothing else.”

Dertner, who lives in Mendocino, developed her talent out of early encouragement and inspiration from her mother, who dabbled in oils and watercolors. She also benefitted greatly from what Dertner characterizes as college-level instruction by excellent teachers during middle and high school. She “played” with art, creating practical things like greeting cards in her early adult years while living in a Christian community in the Sierra foothills and in her first years of marriage and motherhood. When a gallery owner framed some of her earliest pieces, she was invited to take part in an exhibition at the Marysville gallery and frame shop. A joint show followed with her best friend and artist, Leslie Greenetz.

Family friend John Oakes, a Yuba City bank president who also served as Mendocino County Rotary Club’s fine arts auctioneer, introduced Dertner to Mendocino gallery owners Ted and Anna Lee Hendershot in 1983. They featured her work in the Ruth Carlson Gallery, where she received a favorable reception. The Hendershots continued to mentor her as an artist and entrepreneur for the next 18 years.4 continued on page 42

OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

41

Oakes describes her early work as “country cottages and very colorful flowers that transitioned into seascapes with incredible substance and character.” He remembers that the Mendocino gallery owners called him after her first exhibit, requesting more of her work because it was selling out. A successful career had been launched.

The Dertners moved their young family to Mendocino County in 1986, where Dertner’s “studio on California’s dramatic and inspirational North Coast is well broken in,” she says. She especially enjoys painting en plain air “since it allows her to capture the essence of a place by more passionately communicating its light, temperature, color and mood.”

Tomas, Dertner’s husband, quickly became her business partner and framer, her greatest fan and supporter, and still occasionally offers constructive critiques. He has often maintained the home front, she says, especially while their two sons Abraham and Levi (both with musical and artistic talents) were growing up, and even now that they are grown and gone, when Erin travels to exotic locations to study, paint and teach.

She started teaching painting in 1985, and in 1992 took her first international work-shop from an American artist working and living in Greece. Dertner began organizing group trips to teach in places such as France, Italy, Sweden, the Greek islands and Hawaii. She still enrolls in at least one class every year.

Dertner is particularly well-known as a watercolorist who also enjoys acrylics. Her current efforts, mostly in oils, have ventured more into Impressionism as she continually grows and pushes into new territory creatively. “This effort to be honest and deliberate continues to result in images that reflect peace and yearning for stillness in a world that is often discordant,” she says.

Encounters in Europe have been “very emotional and moving,” developing her affinity toward Impressionism. She has visited SaintPaul Asylum in Saint-Rémy, France where Van Gogh famously produced much of his finest work, and the French country-side where he spent the last days of his life. She has been inspired by visits to places where Monet and Toulouse Lautrec also found inspiration.

Taking just a few weeks each year to travel and immerse herself in her art has been a highlight of her career.

Some of Dertner’s greatest success has come from connections with galleries in both Mendocino and Hawaii, where her artwork has won many awards. She’s been featured in “Plein Air Magazine Salon” and “Steppin’ Out Magazine,” among others. Reproductions of her paintings appear on a variety of gift items. She’s been featured in galleries around the country.

An eloquent writer, Dertner published a coffee table book in 2012, “Mendocino Musings in Paint and Prose.” According to Dertner, “There is no better life than to study the world with paintbrush in hand and a heart full of love and gratitude.” • www.erindertner.com

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

Expecting?

There’s a new baby on the way, and you’re probably overwhelmed with emotions that change by the moment – excitement, joy, anticipation, and perhaps more than a little bit of fear.

And then the questions begin. Why aren’t I gaining weight? Shouldn’t the baby be kicking by now? Is it normal to be… this… tired?

The answers are now right at your fingertips. “My Baby” is a new free Dignity Health app that helps moms-to-be track pregnancy milestones, find a doctor and connect to services like nurse support so they can have a healthier pregnancy. Pregnant moms can also familiarize themselves with common symptoms and issues, such as nausea, managing stress, feeling down and bleeding.

The app is available in English and Spanish, and using it is easy – after downloading it, just input your due date to receive daily and weekly updates about what to expect at this stage of pregnancy. You can sign up for prenatal classes, set appointment reminders and build your birth plan using the Milestones feature.

“Pregnancy doesn’t have to be a solo journey,” says Tomi Gibb, RN, of Dignity Health’s Maternal Child Services. “The My Baby app is a nice way for a woman to engage her partner in the pregnancy and make it a positive family experience.”

The kick-counter helps keep track of the baby’s activity, a weight tracker helps ensure you’re gaining at a healthy rate, and the Baby Boost tool offers relaxation techniques.

Weekly educational videos and daily highlights help you and your family prepare for the exciting new addition. Since growing a baby is an all-consuming effort that might make you forgetful, never fear – all this information can be shared with your doctor at your next visit. And once baby arrives, diaper and feeding trackers will help you stay on top of those critical tasks.

With this multifaceted resource at your fingertips, you’ll learn what to expect from the moment you discover you’re expecting to the time you deliver your precious newborn.

Dignity Health is thrilled to be by your side, every step of the way.

“We want our moms to have all the tools necessary to make the best decisions for themselves during pregnancy and beyond,” Gibb says. “We feel the My Baby app delivers all this and more.”

STORY AND PHOTOS BY TIM HOLT

e l d fmide this NICKI CARLISLE GETS KIDS FIDDLING AROUND

THERE WAS A TIME, not so long ago, when the future of old-time fiddling in the North State was in doubt. Young people just weren’t picking up the instrument; learning to play the fiddle takes a lot of time and dedication, and there were so many other things competing for their time.

But lately the trend has been upward, thanks to an older generation of old-time fiddlers in the Redding area who’ve been putting a lot of energy into attracting and nurturing a new generation of fiddle players.

The Redding branch of the California State Old Time Fiddlers offers scholarships so kids can buy an instrument and afford lessons. Young fiddle players are encouraged to compete in contests that include the Western Open Fiddle Championships in Red Bluff. And they’ve been showing up at fiddle jams in Redding and Palo Cedro that are sponsored by the Old Time Fiddlers organization.

Nicki Carlisle, a state champion fiddle player who lives in Shingletown, is at the core of this effort. For the last couple of decades, as a fiddle teacher, she’s been skillfully walking the fine line between strict discipline and warm encouragement. She often discounts her lessons and loans out instruments to those who can’t afford them. And she’s determined not only to teach her young charges the techniques of fiddle playing, but to get them to share what they’ve learned with an audience, often at an early stage in the learning process.

Carlisle encourages her students to perform in contests and music festivals and in venues throughout the Redding area that include retirement homes and libraries. It’s a great way for young people to gain confidence in themselves, to overcome any initial shyness they might have and learn how to engage with an audience, she says.4

“NICKI IS THAT RARE TEACHER WHO WORKS VERY HARD TO GET HER STUDENTS OUT THERE PERFORMING IN PUBLIC AND PERFORMING TOGETHER…” Carlisle also encourages families to set aside time to play together. Her son Brian, who lives in the Bay Area, plays the fiddle and the mandolin, and whenever he’s in Shingletown visiting his mom the two of them jam together and perform at music events or parties if there’s one going on while he’s visiting.

One well-known musical family in the Redding area is the Alldrins. Five of the seven Alldrin children are skilled fiddle players who’ve been taught by Carlisle.

With two other siblings and their parents, Loren and Kristen, they perform Christian, old time and Celtic music at music festivals, special concerts and in retirement homes.

“Nicki is that rare teacher who works very hard to get her students out there performing in public and performing together,” says Loren, who plays guitar and sings with the family ensemble. Kristen does vocals with the group.

“If not everyone is in tune and on time, it doesn’t really matter, as long as they’re getting that experience onstage performing for an audience.”

Loren and Kristen met when they were both music majors at Chico State.

“It’s important to us that it’s something we can do as a family, rather than everyone going off in separate directions,” says Loren.

The next big event on the local fiddle circuit is the Western Open Fiddle Championships held in Red Bluff. Now in its 36th year, it attracts fiddle players from 3 years old to 93. There will also be picking and piano competitions. •

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is 1 in 1,000.

Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast. Treatment depends on the stage of cancer. It may consist of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

Facts about breast cancer in the United States: • One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.

• Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.

• Each year it is estimated that over 252,710 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,500 will die.

• Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,470 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 460 will die each year.

• On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes.

• Over 3.3 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year and affecting countries at all levels of modernization.

In recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive hormone replacement therapy after menopause, we have seen a gradual reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 and older. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options. Breast selfexams, clinic breast exams and mammograms are all excellent screenings can improve your chances for early detection. When breast cancer is diagnosed early and treated, survival rates can be near 100%.

On October 18th, 2018, the Greenville Rancheria will be offering referrals for mammograms. Please stop by at our medical clinic, located at 1425 Montgomery Road, Red Bluff between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm for a THINK PINK token bag (while supplies last). Wear pink and

A Farewell Tour S I N G E R , S O N G W R I T E R A N D AC T I V I S T J OA N B A E Z

“If people have to put labels on me, I’d prefer the first label to be human being, the second label to be pacifist, and the third to be folk singer” -Joan Baez

LEGENDARY SINGER, songwriter and political activist Joan Baez is on her final professional music tour across America and Europe, and it includes a few North State stops.

“I need to say goodbye to the six weeks in the bus at a time and keeping the voice up, which is a daily affair. I need to say goodbye to preparing for the concert and then singing for an hour and a half to two hours, and then getting on the bus and going to the next place,” she says. “Obviously, anytime I feel compelled to take part in some form of political action, or if somebody calls and says, ‘We’re having a folk festival, would you like to do 20 minutes?’ I can and will do those things.”

In the dressed-up 1950s, Baez was the dressed-down Barefoot Madonna, an international star and Time magazine cover story at the age of 18. A decade later, she made headlines as the apostle of nonviolence, whose records went gold and whose passion and energy made her a heroine of the movements for civil rights in America and peace in Vietnam. When others left activism for the pleasures of the “Me Decade,” she continued to take the cause of human rights to audiences around the world with her voice and her presence.

Although a talented songwriter herself, it’s her interpretation of other writers’ work that really stands out. At age 13 she was taken to see Pete Seeger, whose performance inspired her to start learning some of his repertoire and performing publicly.

Gifted with a natural singing voice and influenced by an early appreciation of opera, her career took off following a performance at Newport Folk Festival in 1959, her first self-titled album coming out the following year. 4

continued on page 56 OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

55

In her early days, Baez was at the core of the American roots music revival, where she toured and gained attention, paving the way for other artists like Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris.

During the ‘70s, her cover of The Band’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” went to the top of the charts and is arguably the definitive version of that song. She was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2007.

Her stirring version of the cover song, “We Shall Overcome,” became an anthem for the civil rights movement, while “Diamonds and Rust” presented a more vulnerable, poetic side. Her popularity soared on hit albums such as “Joan Baez In Concert” and “Farewell, Angelina,” and Baez’s impossibly pure soprano became the voice of her generation.

She opened the Live Aid show in the United States in 1985 and performed on two Amnesty International tours in the same decade. The organization honored her in 2011 at its 50th Anniversary with the inaugural Joan Baez Award for outstanding inspirational service in the global fight for human rights.

The 77-year-old Queen of Folk continually lends her voice to many political causes, having found herself on the frontlines of the civil rights battle in Selma, Ala., the Occupy Wall Street protests, and the battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation.

“In light of what we’re experiencing today, in the face of what looks really bleak, we have to go for little victories,” Baez says. “And you have to consider every step that’s a positive one that brings back compassion, brings back empathy, brings back political action. Day by day, these are the victories. At the end of the day, you get only what you did that day. You don’t get a whole future of world peace.”

Most recently, in the aftermath of Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, Baez made a plea for a return to nonviolence, a long-standing theme in her career as an activist and musician.

“Intelligent, impassioned high school students are taking risks in order to save lives, enhance life, and bring goodness into the world.” • Joan Baez Friday, November 2 • Laxson Auditorium, Chico www.chicoperformances.com Wednesday, November 7 • Cascade Theatre, Redding www.cascadetheatre.org November 8 • Arkley Center for the Arts, Eureka www.centerarts.humboldt.edu

Hat Trick

J U DY C R AW F O R D ’ S T S A S D I H AT S

TO PREPARE FOR WINTER, Mount Shasta locals pull the soft hemmed edges of their winter caps down over their ears. As they do this, the hypnotic rhythm of crashing waves and the sensation of sun-kissed skin couldn’t seem further away. But for Judy Crawford, a well-made hat and warm southern California beaches have a lot in common.

Crawford is the owner and seamstress for Tsasdi, a Mount Shasta company that creates high-quality winter headwear. Even though she lives and works in the North State, her artistic talent began in San Diego. When Crawford was 7 years old, she started designing and sewing dresses for her Barbie dolls. By the time she was a teenager, she was creating dresses for herself, and it wasn’t long before she was carrying these custom-made sun dresses in tightly packaged bundles in a backpack. At 18, accompanied by her dog Sunny, Crawford would ride her bike to the boardwalk in Mission Beach and sell her creations to the local merchants. She called her new business Sandpiper. She would imagine, sketch, design and then create her dresses in her kitchen. 4 continued on page 60

OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Crawford loved the beach, but longed to bring her growing family to a place where the people were as warm as the sun. So in 1993, she moved to Mount Shasta and quickly realized that, especially in the winter months, her sundresses were not in high demand. Her ability to see a local need and then fill it is part of what makes Tsasdi creations so popular.

Tsasdi (pronounced Shazdi) is a local Native American word meaning “three.” And, depending on who you ask, it can refer to the “the three colors of the mountain” or the “triple-towering mountain” that we all know as Mount Shasta. This name is fitting, as each hat is inspired by and designed around a specific part of the mountain, including Bunny Flats, Casaval Long Drop and Thumb Rock Drop Down. From local backcountry skiers to winter shoppers, Crawford says she “has a hat for everybody.” With a custom mountainscape stitching and the quality American-made fabric, each hat is a work of art.

Crawford loves her family and she loves her community. With a bright smile and dancing eyes, she says, “I love to see my hats on people.”

She makes them “because it’s fun and it makes me happy.” Crawford is an artist and her medium is people – her hats are merely her brushes. In a world where mass production is the norm, Tsasdi hats stand out, and not just because of their vibrant colors or quality craftsmanship. They are special because each one is infused with the perfect mixture of California sun and Mount Shasta love. That is why they are so warm. • The Fifth Season: 300 N. Mt.

start anything. I’m just carrying on what they started.” That legacy is one Swarthout and Grissom are passing on to their neighbors. “It’s not a competition at all,” she maintains. “It’s just a sisterhood. The more people that are successful, the better our downtown is. We’re all creating it.”

One of the newer business owners on the block is Wendi Vaillette, who opened Americana on Main with Karen Lucero in September 2017 and quickly became co-treasurer of the Downtown Red Bluff Business Association with Swarthout. “I don’t even know if any of them realize it, but I was sort of intimidated by their strength,” she says of her new friends and mentors, Swarthout and Grissom. “I had admired them from afar.” She quickly came to learn that the strength translated to a commitment to support for the new business owners.

"... Having the other women on the block with either education or experience has been amazing. They have always been as helpful as possible."

Americana on Main is a vendor marketplace with 18 permanent vendors and six consignment vendors. It is also a dream-come-true for Vaillette, who says, “I’ve always loved brick-and-mortar shops and have always wanted one of my own.” Her decision to go into business has been supported by the women surrounding her. “Day one, when we first rented the space and hadn’t even opened yet, they came over and welcomed us,” she says. “I’ve actually needed them quite a bit. Having the other women on the block with either education or experience has been amazing. They have always been as helpful as possible.”

Similar sentiments are expressed by Alana Hoagland, who heard one day that Janel Fitzgerald was interested in selling Plum Crazy. “I’d always wanted to have my own salon and I’d kind of given up on that dream,” she says. All it took was a lunch with Fitzgerald, planned just two hours earlier, for her to revive that dream, complete with mentorship. “I’d always shopped at Plum Crazy. I loved the store. I loved Janel,” she adds.

Now she owns the place and has received ongoing guidance from Fitzgerald to keep it vibrant.4

It’s definitely a collaborative effort. I think it’s important that we support each other as a community.”

Sip and Shop brings together all of the 600 block businesses to showcase their merchandise in a fun setting featuring a fashion show and cocktails. The response over the years has been enthusiastic, with women making an event of it with friends and family. Its early success encouraged the business owners to do events monthly once they realized they’d tapped into the public’s desire to congregate in community downtown.

“The reason it’s succeeding is that these businesses are genuinely locking arms with each other,” says Grissom. “If in any way we’ve been a small part of supporting someone else to open a business or to follow their entrepreneurship dream, we’re really touched.” • Fall Sip and Shop • Oct. 12 600 block of Main Street, Red Bluff Tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/sip-shop-tickets-48939823329

PA R I S H H E A LT H A N D W E L L N E S S I N R E D B L U F F SOMETIMES IN LIFE we need to reach out and ask for help. It is not always easy. The Parish Health and Wellness Counseling Center in Red Bluff offers a hand up, and owner and founder Linda Spyres shares her story of strength, perseverance, hope and faith.

Spryes was born and raised in Illinois. “My mom, Roberta Brown, was a hard worker. She was up at 3 am to start her waitress shift and be home after school. As a child, I had no idea of her strength. It has only been in raising my four children, working and taking care of a home, that I began to realize how she put us girls first.”

The other women in her family were also hard-working, responsible and considerate, she says. “They were rural women who loved to crochet and needlepoint. I never

knew people who did not provide for themselves. We were raised if you earned it, you could get it; otherwise, you go without.”

She came to California after experiencing several of her own life’s hardships, including three suicide attempts and drug rehab. Some of her children struggled with health challenges. Her 10-year marriage included addiction and ended in divorce, and later his death. Despite the tragedies, however, she learned to love herself and follow her dreams.

She went back to school and earned her associate in arts degree and bachelor’s degree in psychology. “I was thrilled because God has been changing my life and I4

wanted to learn as much as I could about the Bible and God,” Spryes says. During this time Spyres needed to find employment, and began working for the county in 2006 as an aide. Through the years, she moved up to a drug and alcohol counselor, then to a licensed clinical social worker.

The Parish Health and Wellness Counseling Center was originally a house, which the children’s paternal grandmother, Lu Parish, had built on the property. “She was thrilled to hear that when she was done with the house, I had dreams to use this as a healing center,” Spryes says of Parish, who passed away shortly after the house was built. “She told and showed me it is never too late to go for what makes us happy.

This business makes me happy. In the past, it was raising my children, getting my education, working hard and providing a home.”

As far as the name, Spyres says, “It honored the lady that built it, it honors my children’s heritage, and Parish reminds me of Southern churches giving glory to God. God is at the center of all I do. None of this would be here without His love and guidance,” Spyres says.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net OCTOBER 2018

She plans to hire more clinicians. “We are operating from a group format where each professional has their own practice; we all work under the Parish name and framework.

They can set their own hours, focus on their specialty and use their therapeutic approach, all while having the foundation of being part of a group.”

Spryes believes the clinic has a hopeful future. “With 40 acres, we have plenty of room for expansion. The business is a lot; I get fear-based thinking I am not enough, and then I remember, if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it.” • Parish Health and Wellness • 22425 Sunbright Ave., Red Bluff (530) 528-2342 • www.parishhealthandwellness.com Find them on Facebook

WHAT’S COOKIN’

BY LANA GRANFORS

recipe OCTOBER 2018

PAPPY ’S SOUTHERN COCONUT CAKE AND 7 MINUTE FROSTING SERVES 8 - 10 The recipe this month is from the Mazzotta family. It was a cake that James’ grandmother, Pappy – the name James used for her – would make for special family events and weddings.

As a matter of fact, Pappy made this cake for a very special wedding – Marlon Brando’s. It is a family treasure and James has great memories of this cake. He prefers using fresh-grated coconut over store bought. Enjoy!

WHITE BUTTERMILK CAKE INGREDIENTS: 3 cups cake flour

1 T baking powder

1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter 2 cups granulated sugar 2 tsp. clear vanilla extract 1⁄4-1⁄2 tsp. almond extract 6 large egg whites 1 1⁄2 cups whole buttermilk COCONUT CREAM FILLING INGREDIENTS:

1 cup coconut milk 2 T sweetened condensed milk

1 6-oz. package coconut (or a fresh coconut, grated) 7 MINUTE FROSTING INGREDIENTS: 3 cups granulated sugar 2⁄3 cup water 4 egg whites 1⁄2 tsp. cream of tartar Pinch of salt

1 T vanilla extract

CAKE DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour four 6-inch round cake pans.

FINISHING THE CAKE DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Remove the cakes from the pans and add frosting while sprinkling coconut on each layer.

STEP 2: Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.

STEP 2: Add 4 wood dowels to secure the cake.

STEP 3: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and almond flavorings. Beat for 5 minutes until creamy. Add egg whites.

Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk. After all the ingredients have been added, increase the mixer speed and beat for 1 minute longer.

STEP 3: Finish frosting the outside of the cake and add coconut flakes to sides and top. You can use already sweetened coconut flakes to make the process easier.

Lana Granfors has resided in Redding since moving here from Texas in 1975. She devotes time to her passions: family, travel, gardening and cooking. A self-taught cook, her recipes are created with an emphasis on fresh ingredients, ease of preparation and of course, flavor.

STEP 4: Spread the batter into the pans. Shake the pans a few times to remove the air bubbles. Place into the oven and bake for 35-38 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.

FILLING DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: After removing the cake from the oven, use a toothpick to poke holes in the hot cakes.

STEP 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk. Slowly spoon over the hot cake, spreading the coconut milk mixture into the holes as you go.

STEP 3: Wrap the cakes, in the pans, in wet cheesecloth and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

FROSTING DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Fill a saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low to maintain a steady simmer.

STEP 2: Place the sugar, water, egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a large, heatproof mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer on medium-low speed for 30 seconds to combine.

STEP 3: Place the mixing bowl on top of the saucepan of simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water) and beat on high speed for 7 minutes, or until stiff and glossy.

STEP 4: Remove the bowl from the heat, add the vanilla, and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Use the frosting immediately, as it will start to set and be difficult to spread.

Cakes or cupcakes frosted with this should be served within 12 hours of frosting, or stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.

PREP TIME: 1 hour BAKE TIME: 55 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1 hour, 55 minutes

To create this exciting exhibit, member artists submit the best of their work in hopes that it will fare well against their counterparts.

Then our guest juror selects the pieces that will be displayed in the show and awards prizes for his favorites in each category as well as an overall Best in Show grand prize. This year’s juror is James Kroner, a contemporary artist from San Francisco, internationally known for his cityscapes and landscapes in oil. He specializes in plein air, traveling to teach workshops throughout the U.S., Italy, Germany and the UK. Opening reception will be October 6 from 5 - 8pm.

A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock ‘n’ roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, wild ride that no audience will soon forget. There’ll be a a special closing performance on Halloween at the Cascade Theatre.

Post -Secondary Planning October is commonly referred to as College Kick Off month.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and California Dream Act Application (CADAA) open on October 1 and close March 2.

The FAFSA/CADAA application in its electronic form has become easier each year. The greatest advancement in the FAFSA/CADAA application is the change in tax return information included. The tax return required for the 2019-20 filing period is the 2017 tax return. Clearly the opportunity to use the “prior tax return” simplifies the process.

Please note these facts regarding the FAFSA/CADAA: • “ First Year Free” at Shasta College requires students to complete the FAFSA by March 2nd.

• The state grant system referred to Cal Grants require completion of FAFSA by March 2nd.

• The Cal Grant income ceilings vary according to the size of a family. For example, for a family of four the income ceiling is $102,500. The minimum GPA requirement for a Cal Grant is 2.0.

• Cal Grants pay tuition and fees at California trade schools, community colleges, public universities and private universities as well. In some situations, Cal Grants will provide a living allowance.

• Parents and Independent students must complete a FAFSA/CADAA in order to obtain an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) number. That number is required for parent and student loans and most scholarshi applications.

• High school counselors as well as CollegeOPTIONS and GEAR UP advisors will provide FAFSA/CADAA workshops.

• The website for submitting a FAFSA/CADDA is www.fafsa.gov. Both the parent and student need to create a Federal Student Aid ID in order to complete the application. Create your FSA ID on the www.fafsa.gov website.

• Some of our local high schools had a 70% success rate

with students receiving Cal Grants!

Parents are encouraged to calendar a weekly “huddle” with their senior student in order to work as a TEAM in meeting deadlines that pertain to post-secondary planning. Please reach out to your high school counselor if you have questions about the FAFSA/CADAA.

Be Beautiful You

S H A N N A M C C R AC K E N ’S O N C O LO GY E ST H E T I C S “WHO SAYS you can’t be beautiful when you’re fighting cancer?” says Shanna McCracken, a Redding native and owner of Beyond Beauty Esthetics and More.

“Oncologists are helping patients fight for their lives,” she continues. “I learned that they needed someone else to help them take care of the side effects, help them look good, and boost that all-important positive attitude.”

That is why McCracken created Beyond Beauty Esthetics and More, to provide a welcoming and safe place where women battling cancer can receive customized beauty services. Having been a Shasta County business owner for more than 25 years, McCracken started Beyond Beauty Esthetics and More in 2015, relying on her knowledge and training to deliver safe, effective services with a gentle touch.

“Beyond Beauty Esthetics and More is beauty simplified,” explains McCracken. “It has to be when you’re undergoing cancer treatment.”

Several women under treatment were being turned away from traditional spas due to skin and nail care providers lacking the proper training to service cancer patients. That drove McCracken to provide an alternative

place where these women could go. “I wanted to be of service and educate people on how they could safely manage skin, hair and nail issues that manifest during cancer treatment,” she says.

Four years ago, McCracken chose to make a significant career change, having been inspired by a magazine article about oncology patients suffering from the side effects of treatment. Feeling passionate about helping these patients, McCracken decided to train in esthetics, with oncology as her core focus. She soon received her California Manicurist License, and with it began her mission. “Now, I’m equipped with knowledge, skill and my compassionate nature to make a difference for women struggling through treatment.”

After taking part in a retreat in Oregon, where she gave facials to women experiencing terminal cancer, McCracken was encouraged to offer more in her own hometown. “On the drive home I decided to invite local women fighting cancer to my first Creating Joy Retreat Weekend,” she says. “These weekend retreats give women4 continued on page 94 OCTOBER 2018 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

time to relax, renew, form friendships and forget about what their cancer treatment may have left behind.”

Further inspired by the women she works with, McCracken plans to launch and expand her Beautiful You instruction workshops to better educate cancer patients on gentle care, safe products and ongoing self-care.

Not only has McCracken been able to incorporate inspiriting retreats into her business, but also better beauty alternatives for waxing and pedicures. “I am so focused on sharing the oncology side of my business, that I don’t want to overlook the other services I offer,” she adds, explaining how, as a licensed manicurist, she specializes in wellness pedicures, servicing healthchallenged clients that may struggle with lymphedema, neuropathy, diabetes and sensitive feet.

“I also offer sugaring. Sugaring is the new waxing,” McCracken says with a smile. “Sugaring is more sanitary.

It is all natural, no chance of burning the client and removes hair at the root.”

She is also seeking ways to enhance the services dermatologists, podiatrists and elder care facilities provide by bringing specialized skin care support and foot wellness services to their clientele.

Striving to be a better oncology-trained esthetician for her clients, McCracken keeps current with new information and educates clients about self-care and how it can help with cancer survivorship. “I know I’m not just offering product knowledge, customized facials or wellness pedicures,” McCracken says, then pauses. “I’m helping to put smiles back on women’s faces.” • Beyond Beauty Esthetics & More (530) 227-1180 • beyondbeauty4you.com
