editor’s note march 2019

SIGNS OF SPRING surround us, with hillsides turning green and beautiful blooms brightening our landscape. In honor of this, we’ve gathered articles about fabric, fiber and florals - those items that bring texture and color to our world.

They spin quite a yarn in downtown Redding. Ewe-Baa Street Yarns offers a variety of knitting fibers from sheep, alpacas, camels, yaks and more. We’ll share a bit about how it came to be.

Business also blossoms at Marshall’s Florist and Fine Gifts. The owners moved all the way back from North Carolina to raise their new baby - and their business - in the place they’re delighted to call home once again.

Then meet Joel Stratte-McClure, who took a 20-year trek around the Mediterranean and wrote a trilogy about it. If your sense of adventure needs a little jump start, he’s sure to inspire you.

We do love a good Sunday drive in the springtime. If you’re a history buff, head north and check out Robbers Rock - it’s rich with local lore. Or travel toward Lassen and explore Mill Creek Resort, which offers a getaway for folks looking to enjoy the area’s natural surroundings.

Meanwhile, Redding will soon be the gathering site of peace-builders from around the world, thanks to the Euphrates Institute. The River of Hope Summit and Gala creates an opportunity to share ideas, inspiration and best practices for community building and more.

Happy spring, and enjoy!

CELEBR ATIONS

LENS CAPTURE FAVO R IT E LI F E C H A N G I N G M O M E N TS

It's not just the big moments but also the little ones that change us.

Spending quality time with family and friends to celebrate milestones or a momentous send-off.

A trip to Denver for New Year's then daddy-daughter snuggles before Mariele headed back to college.

We skied Mount Shasta then headed back home for a birthday celebration with friends.

A great walk on the Sundial and a rainbow greeting at a Super Bowl party.

Change with the times, because it's time to think of yourself for a change.

my town KEITH EARNEST, RANCHER

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: PRETTY CLOSE TO MAYBERRY I live in McArthur, where there are no stoplights, no sidewalks and no Starbucks, and we like it that way. The only time there is a traffic jam is when there is a cattle drive. McArthur is located in the beautiful Fall River Valley with proximity to the best fly fishing in the world, hunting, kayaking and any other outdoor activity you can imagine. If you visit, roll down your windows and experience the smell of fresh-cut hay, mint being processed, sprinklers on the strawberry fields or mud of the wild rice paddies.

McArthur is the home of Fall River High School, where the stands at Bulldog games are full because the entire community is there.

Academically, our school boasts the highest standardized state test scores in English, second only to a private school in the Bay Area.

I am a proud graduate of Fall River High and blessed that after college I was able to find a job here, returning to live on my family’s ranch.

The population of McArthur swells every Labor Day weekend as family and friends return for the Inter Mountain Fair. For a century, my community has shown off livestock, baked goods, arts and crafts, and floral talent. For several years, I have had the privilege of announcing the fair parade. I have more good things to say about the community organizations and citizens in the parade than the script contains. I hope to see you at the fair.

A quick trip to the post office may end up being an hour of visiting with friends. You don’t have to live here very long before everybody knows your name. When a forest fire knocked out power for several days, Hiway Garage figured out how to get the gas pump* to work, neighbors sheltered evacuees and volunteers delivered water to pets and livestock. McArthur may not be Mayberry, but it’s as close as it can get. *Note it is pump and not pumps, as there is only one.

BOUND TOGETHER A C R E AT I V E S I S T E R H O O D O F Q U I LT E R S ON EVERY MONDAY, before her friends begin filling the space within her quilting studio with their creative projects, their laughter, love and conversation, Jacque White says a prayer: “Lord, please bring the people we can accommodate here today – those who really need to be here.” Somehow, says White, “we’ve never had a problem making sure there was enough space for everyone.”

Three years after moving from Dunsmuir into a small log cabin in Bella Vista, White found herself missing the fellowship she shared with a creative group of women that met regularly to quilt and sew together. She asked a few church members at Trinity Alliance in Redding if they might be interested in coming over to work on something creative. It took a while to

garner momentum. At first, only a few women came. But then, friends began inviting friends and what started as just a few women gathering to spend creative time together became a solid core group of 15 women who think of each other as family.

“We knew it wasn’t big enough to accommodate everyone who wanted to be a part of the group. We only had two rooms then – and I really needed a studio. I convinced my husband, Eldon, to make a 400-squarefoot addition to our home. The space has tables, sewing machines and a television. As the group has grown over the years, we’ve even outgrown that space, so we have begun to spread back into my dining room, as well,” White says with a laugh.4 continued on page 18

The group of women range in age from their late 40s to 76 years old. They happily spend their Mondays together, working on their own creative projects and enjoying the potluck-style dishes that are customary at each meeting. The meeting place is typically White’s home, but on occasion, another group member will take on the role of hostess. No matter where they meet, the love is the same. The conversation meanders through talks of their families, their vacations, special experiences they have had and opportunities that are coming up in the community.

“We make quilts for cancer patients, friends who have lost their husbands and, recently, fire victims. We look for opportunities to share with people,” White says.

Eldon and Jacque White

“IT’S AN OUTREACH GROUP. WE ARE THERE TO SHARE THE JOYS AND BURDENS OF LIFE WITH EACH OTHER. IF SOMEONE IS IN NEED, WE ARE RIGHT THERE TO HELP THEM. IF I HAVE A PROBLEM, I KNOW SOMEONE IS THERE. WE JUST NEED EACH OTHER...”

Recently, at a function outside of their regularly scheduled Monday, White was sharing the fact that her husband had built her a studio for her quilting. Sherrie Widner, a group member for 11 years, quickly chimed in: “He didn’t build it for you – he built it for us.” White laughed, recognizing the truth in her friend’s words. Just as she shares the space in her home with her “sisters,” the unofficial name they have coined for themselves, White is honored to share so much more with them.

“It’s an outreach group. We are there to share the joys and burdens of life with each other. If someone is in need, we are right there to help them. If I have a problem, I know someone is there. We just need each other. In the old days, women would gather at the river to wash clothes – and it was also a time for fellowship. We need that as women,” says White.

White’s creativity blossomed as a child. Her mother would always let White and her sister paint their bedroom walls and decorate as they liked. “It was nice having that kind of freedom,” says White. That creative carte blanche – and having been taught to sew as a little girl – played a large part in White’s interest in making her own clothes, and even some for her daughters.

White’s sister, who grew up to become an artist, is frequently her co-pilot as she ventures into new creative territory. Their most recent undertaking is eco-printing with leaves, a technique she’s eager to share with the group. “I don’t ever feel like I’m just learning for me. There is a joy that comes in sharing it with my sisters,” says White.

“Our skillsets are all different and we have the opportunity to teach each other. We get to share our work with one another – and we get to ask for help,” says Widner. “This group means everything to me. We share with, pray for and encourage one another. It’s more than just a support system that makes a difference in the lives of its members – it’s a lifeline.” •

BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

GET YOUR FIBER E W E - B A A S T R E E T YA R N I N R E D D I N G WANT TO HEAR a good yarn? Or see a good yarn?

Perhaps feel one, by trailing some fine strands through your fingers? Long-time Redding resident and knitting fiber expert Lori Orlando can accommodate you. Just drop by her Yuba Street yarn shop, whimsically named Ewe-Baa Street Yarns, where you can feel, see, hear and select from the widest variety of knitting fibers this side of Sacramento.

We’re not just talking about ewe here. Customers will see wall after wall of packaged yarn that comes from sheep, alpacas, llamas, camels and even yaks, according to the shopkeeper. “We carry almost anything you can get fiber from,” says Orlando. “Plants too, like cotton, linen and nettle.”

She brings in fiber from all over the world – from Germany, from Italy, the United Kingdom, Peru, Japan and for the yak yarns, Kyrgyzstan. One of her top-end offerings is a cashmere imported through a special arrangement with a British firm. “We are the only stockist in the United States for it,” she says.

Helping Orlando in the store today is long-time friend and employee Carol Schultz. She steps from behind the counter, where she had been sitting and knitting and joins Orlando at a small table to demonstrate to a visitor how to ball yarn.

Orlando pulls a skein of Shibui yarn – their best seller – from a display and loops it over a square turntable called a swift. She guides a strand to a hand-cranked device called a

ball winder. Schultz says before there were devices called swifts, there were devices called husbands. “People would have to put the yarn on their husbands’ hands for hours, like this,” she says, holding up another skein of Shibui.

Orlando adds, “I’m sure this machine was invented by a husband.”

Both women are avid knitters, and both are dressed in knitware they made themselves. On some aisles in the shop, knitted clothing stands on display – not for sale, but as examples of what skilled knitters can do. And for customers who would like to learn how to craft exquisite sweaters for themselves and loved ones, Ewe-Baa Street Yarns offers classes.

Orlando says she first took up knitting decades ago, to fight boredom in Italy while a military wife stationed overseas. She taught herself by reading, and the first results were less than encouraging. “It was awful. I had no concept of gauge,” she recalls. “So the first sweater I knitted for my husband, two of him could have fit in it.”

After returning to the states, she opened a quilt shop in Redding. During the 12 years that shop was in business, Orlando hired Marilyn Stephens, who had knitted since her teens. She taught both Orlando and Schultz the art of needles and yarn, and after the business was4

threatened by a population explosion of quilt shops in Redding, Stephens suggested a store specializing in yarns.

“I’ve been knitting all my adult life, and after a while you want some good fiber,” she says. “There’s something very soothing about the feel of it going through your hands.”

So Orlando opened a yarn shop like no other – a yarn shop staffed by expert knitters who can talk yarn, feel yarn and instruct others on how to use it. Orlando, Schultz and Stephens teach scheduled knitting sessions in the shop classroom. And Orlando proudly offers Ewe-Baa as a knitting social hub as well, with twice-monthly gatherings labeled with names like “sit and knit.”

Stephens personally finds reward in all stages of knitting – from envisioning a knitted item worn by a loved one, through the relaxing, repetitive needlework, to the final product, which can be quite durable. “These are items that can be handed down. If properly cared for they can last generations,” she says. “I have a great-grandson who’s wearing his father’s sweater.”

How do customers rate Ewe-Baa Street Yarns? Maggie Kimberling, a knitting enthusiast, made it a point to drop in during a trip to town from her home up on Round Mountain. “Compared to a big box store, this is far superior. There’s more yarn types, more colors,” she says. “I love this place. Everything you want in yarn is here.”

She turns away for a moment to oooh and ahh as Orlando shows her a selection from their latest shipment, then declares, “I just want to come to this store and stay.” • Ewe-Baa Street Yarns 1725 Yuba St., Redding • (530) 246-9276 www.ewe-baastreetyarns.com Hours: Monday-Thursday, 10 am-5 pm; Friday-Saturday, 10 am-2 pm; closed Sunday

In Full Bloom A N E W G E N E R AT I O N AT M A R S H A L L’ S F L O R I S T MIXING BUSINESS, family and flowers is a nice arrangement for the Reuthers of Redding.

When Marshall’s Florist and Fine Gifts was on the market more than a year ago, Jan Reuther, a longtime customer of the longtime business, floated the idea of purchasing it to her son Blake, grandson Adam, and Adam’s wife, Brittney. Adam and Brittney were in North Carolina and expecting a baby at the time. Brittney, who grew up in Cottonwood, and Adam, who spent his childhood in Redding, liked the idea of returning to the North State.

“We really wanted our son to grow up around family,” Brittney says.

So in December 2017, three generations of Reuthers became the new owners of Marshall’s Florist – almost at the same moment that Brittney and Adam became parents to Owen.

“We had him and took over Marshall’s the next day,” Brittney says. A new baby and a new business kept them busy.

“He went on deliveries with us. He’s been a working baby.”4

MARCH 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Adam and Brittney are the operating directors, working on orders, designs, delivery and other aspects of the daily operation. Jan and Blake are business partners, jumping in to help with on-theground tasks during crunch times.

The Reuthers are the fourth owners of Marshall’s Florist, according to Brittney.

It opened in 1972 in Cypress Square, later moved to a larger building on Park Marina Circle and eventually returned to Cypress Square, where it was when the Reuthers purchased it. Last October, they moved the floral business to Hartnell Avenue where José Antonio’s, a gift and garden center, had a long run in Redding.

“This was Jan’s baby. It was her idea to buy it and renovate it,” Brittney says of the former José Antonio’s digs and the potential her grandmother-in-law saw in the space.

The unique retail location includes buildings, patios, trellises and a showy pond with a waterfall and hefty, colorful koi. A fig tree and Japanese maples give the setting a shady, peaceful vibe. José Antonio’s was known for unique European gifts and garden statuary, and the Reuthers inherited two large lion statues as well as some substantial patio pots.

The plan is to use the outdoor areas for weddings, receptions, luncheons or other gatherings. Beyond events, the Reuthers would like the grounds to be a peaceful spot for people to wander through or simply sit and unwind.

“We want it to be a welcoming place – a garden area where people can come in and relax and enjoy,” Brittney says.

They added a deck, planted gardenias and plan to make other improvements. “Every year we’ll do something,” Brittney says.

Marshall’s Florist sells some décor items and unique gifts, such as vases and candles, but the focus is flowers.

26

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2019

“We do all types of arrangements – birth of a baby, new house, anniversaries,” Brittney notes.

Whether flowers are sent as a message of love, celebration, sympathy, recovery, gratitude or friendship, the goal is for customers to feel welcome and appreciated. “First and foremost, we want people to feel like family,” she says.

Marshall’s has a staff of eight (four work full time). Brittney and her husband had business experience, but flowers were new territory. “We spent a lot of time researching – flowers, care and design techniques,” she says.

She’s enjoyed learning, going to the wholesale markets and meeting the flower farmers. On the mornings of deliveries, blossoms arrive in Redding at 5 am, and there’s a lot to be done – removing thorns from roses, stripping leaves and quick-dipping stems.

While it was a bit intimidating to step into a business that has been around so long, Brittney says the experience has been positive, and the community very welcoming.

“We have amazing customers.

Marshall’s has a really good reputation,” she says.

She has new appreciation for the power of flowers – what goes into creating a beautiful bouquet, as well as how meaningful it can be to receive one.

“There’s something special about getting something so pretty,” Brittney says.

“It makes you feel extra special.” • Marshall’s Florist 870 Hartnell Ave., Redding www.marshallsfloristredding.com (530) 241-3116 Laura Christman is a freelance writer in Redding with a degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a long career in newspaper journalism.

Sew Fabulous C H I C O ’ S AWA R D - W I N N I N G Q U I LT E R , C I N DY N E E D H A M

SOMEONE once said, “A quilt will warm your body and comfort your soul.” The talent and ingenuity shown by creative quilters is astonishing. They sew and assemble beautiful art, by hand or machine, and as a result, warm bodies and hearts all over the world.

Meet Cindy Needham. She is an amazingly gifted quilter, teacher, designer and author, whose passion for quilting led her to live her most meaningful life.

A self-taught quilter, Needham was barely a teenager when she visited Moses Cone Manor near the Blue Ridge Mountains. She was mesmerized by the display of artistic quilts – it was love at first sight, one might say. Inspired by what she had seen, she took some basic six-inch fabric blocks, put a blanket between them and tied them with ribbon. A quilter was born.

“I never thought it would become my life passion, my purpose.” Needham says. “It’s crazy.”

Her hobby took off, and soon Needham couldn’t keep up with hand stitching her quilt tops, so she went “kicking and screaming” into machine sewing. After many months of practice, she finally found her rhythm, and fell in love with the art of machine sewing, as well. Eventually she became bored with “regular quilt tops” and ventured out, experimenting on a piece of tattered linen from her nightstand. She ended up designing a beautiful linen wholecloth quilt, a technique for which she is now famous. “Wholecloth quilting defines you as a quilter. It’s all about your design choices and the threads and fabric you choose for your quilt,” Needham says. “That linen quilt changed my life forever.”4 continued on page 30

MARCH 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“I’M VERY BLESSED TO MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT I LOVE.” The story goes like this.

Needham had been doing demonstration quilting for quilt shows, and the owner of Superior Threads, Bob Purcell, asked her many times if she would start lecturing on a national level, as he couldn’t keep up with the quilt guild requests. However, Needham’s husband, Kent, is a self-employed cabinet maker and Needham’s job in the medical field at the time provided the health insurance, retirement and steady paycheck.

Needham turned Purcell down four times. And then he asked a final time. Needham spoke with her husband, and Kent agreed that she was meant to do that job. She took that leap of faith and followed her dream.

Now, Needham teaches not only in her own studio in Chico, but all over the world, as well as at local retreats in McCloud and Auburn.

“I was meant to teach,” Needham says. “It’s inside me.” She says her two favorite places are in front of a classroom and in front of her sewing machine. But, Needham warns, she is not your average international teacher. “I tell my students, come to have fun and loosen up! I’m sort of a black sheep.”

Needham’s journey has taken her all around the world, from Dubai to Australia and many places in between, meeting fabulous quilters and experiencing things she would never have otherwise imagined.

Quilting conventions have become a huge attraction, gathering people from all over the world in places like Texas and Japan.

“It is huge and it’s just getting bigger and more and more artsy,” Needham says.

Needham says she

30

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2019

feels like an “old soul” – she can’t imagine doing anything else.

Luckily, it appears she doesn’t have to.

Her retreats are booked through 2019, and she has recently been busy helping provide quilts and sewing supplies to Camp Fire survivors. Annie’s Star Quilt Guild reached out to quilt makers all across the country, who then responded by making thousands of quilts for survivors of the California wildfires. Needham, a former resident of Paradise, said she wasn’t prepared for the emotional roller coaster that her involvement with the guild would bring. “These people walk through the door with tears in their eyes, and leave with a smile.” Or, Needham adds, “They leave with tears in their eyes because they are happy. They have a sewing machine or new things to create with.”

It’s no wonder, then, why so many quilters around the country approach Needham. She has won numerous awards and recognitions within the quilting community, and continues to book national teaching engagements. She gives a voice to quilters everywhere, allowing them to find themselves through their art.

“I love doing it,” Needham says. “I’m very blessed to make a living doing what I love.” • www.cindyneedham.com • Find her on Facebook Melissa Gulden is a Redding native who is celebrating her 12th year writing for Enjoy magazine.

BY MELISSA MENDONCA

R I V E R O F H O P E S U M M I T B R I N G S T H E W O R L D TO R E D D I N G THIS MONTH BRINGS A confluence of minds and metaphors as peace-builders from around the world, gathered

by Redding’s Euphrates Institute, merge at the Sacramento River to share ideas, inspiration and best practices that will, in the words of Euphrates founder and CEO Janessa Gans Wilder, “turn the ‘other’ into a brother.”

“It’s the first time we’re all going to be all together since 2011,” Wilder says of the River of Hope Euphrates Summit which will be held March 27-29 at the McConnell Foundation’s Lema Ranch. The Euphrates Institute engages more than 30 chapters in 15 countries in grassroots peace building, and will host members from as far away as Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Pakistan, Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia and Cameroon.

“A lot of these folks who are coming have never left their home country,” says Wilder, noting that five have received scholarships to travel to Redding. “We’ve only been connecting online.” The summit will be an opportunity for “more of the outward work and processing.” Summit workshops include

peace-building and social change, dialog and listening training, story-sharing and community building.

Euphrates chapters engage in the issues of their community, as determined locally. “It’s really about listening and dialog and humanizing the ‘other’,” says Wilder. “It’s really site specific but it has to do with our perspective. Who do we ‘other’ and why?”

Elesse Bafandjo, a 2019 Euphrates Institute Honoree from Democratic Republic of Congo, has been bridging divides between albinos and non-albinos, Christians and Muslims, and the hearing and deaf. Victor Garpulee, a school teacher, will share his experience facilitating 15 youth-led chapters across Liberia. Sohini Jana of the Euphrates-Kolkata chapter will share her work with interfaith dialog across South Asia, while James Offuh of Cote d’Ivoire will share his experience developing the first mediation and conflict transformation training center in Abidjan. Fuhbang Emmanuel Tanifumhas been invited to speak to his peace building work in Cameroon.4 continued on page 34 MARCH 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Rounding out the summit will be the River of Hope Gala at the Sheraton Hotel on March 29. The public is invited to meet the summit attendees and hear from featured speaker Nipun Mehta, the 2019 Euphrates Visionary of the Year. Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, an incubator of projects that work at the intersection of volunteerism, technology and the gift-economy. “I want to live simply, love purely and give fearlessly,” writes Mehta on his website.

The gala will also include dinner, choirs and global music.

Wilder says her hometown of Redding is the perfect place to host the Euphrates Institute and the River of Hope Summit, despite numerous suggestions to move to larger cities. “The beauty and solace and wisdom of nature is so helpful for this work,” she says. “I just think there’s something about this community.”

She’s acutely aware of the mutuality in bringing the world to Redding, and showing Redding to the world. “I think that the world can learn about resilience from Redding,” she says, noting that she’s also excited to “help Redding see how it is part of the world.”

Then, of course, there are the parallels of the powerful Euphrates River, where Wilder had an epiphany about peace building in 2004 while completing a 21-month stint as an intelligence officer in Fallujah, Iraq. Just as the Euphrates continued to flow through the war-torn city to provide sustenance to the desert, so too did the Sacramento River flow through Redding during the devastating Carr Fire. “The Euphrates was the river of hope for me floating through the war zone,” she says. “The Sacramento River was the river of hope during the Carr Fire.”

The Institute and Summit are all part of Wilder’s grand scheme to “bring people together to find common ground before it results in conflict and war.” Her experiences in areas of war and conflict have seeded a deep desire to address roots causes rather than troubleshoot symptoms.

“As we kindle the light and inspire others, we really can change the world,” she says. “And it’s not just wishful thinking.” • www.riverofhopesummit.com www.euphrates.org

Musical Improv S PA F F O R D TO P L AY AT LO S T O N M A I N I N C H I C O

“I’LL PLAY IT FIRST AND TELL YOU WHAT IT’S CALLED LATER.” – MILES DAVIS SPAFFORD is the latest buzzword in the jam band scene.

Their sound can be described as an electro-funk therapy, which combines deep sonic exploration and jam-heavy improvisation.

With jams that stretch anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, their songs expand typical song structure, offering an original take on funk-dance-rock music.

In the past, they’ve shared the stage with prominent acts like Widespread Panic, Particle, EOTO and the Motet, and they’ve performed festivals such as Arizona’s McDowell Mountain Music and Gem and Jam Music Festivals.

Formed in Prescott, Ariz., in 2009, the four-piece band is made up of Brian Moss (guitar), Jordan Fairless (bass), Red Johnson (keys) and Cameron Laforest (drums).

What makes this band unique is the diversity and freedom of improvisation that comes from having five different song writers and lyricists in the band who never really conform to any one specific style of music. Even Chuck Johnson, the band’s lighting guru, writes lyrics.

Fairless explains that their jams have a keen sense of patience and slow groove building.

“When we write set lists down, they rarely get followed at all.

Usually we are all feeling something and are suddenly on the same page, then it starts going somewhere... and we wind up making it happen. So really, the unexpected is our favorite kind of jam sandwich.

“Our sound just kind of started happening as we played together more, and, as we took note of that, we started to try and develop it.

It’s all about listening to each other. Someone begins playing and we build on top of that. When you start listening to everyone you can really change the music. This leads to fluid key changes and the ability to move on a dime.”

What sets the group’s work apart from other jam bands is rather than a single player extemporizing over a set chord structure, all four band members move instinctively through full themes and movements of music created on the fly by what they describe as group mind.4

continued on page 40 MARCH 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“We go through our composed parts of a song, and how the jam part happens is usually as we listen to someone who begins leading the groove,” Fairless says. “Then we all jump in and follow. When one of us starts going somewhere, we immediately complement him. It’s follow the leader.

“We can all four have our eyes closed and that’s the greatest moment. I’ve been out of my body for up to three minutes: unconscious and tapped in. I was not there. I was completely taken over by the music. I look at pictures of us and my eyes are rolling back in my head. I am warped into another dimension.”

Their improvisation is the result of a mix of talent, practice and cooperation. Fairless says that beyond that, their greatest jams seem inspired by a power higher than themselves.

“We’re channeling it. You can feel it in the room,” he says. “The crowd gets more responsive and goes to a different space. Everyone on stage is looking up and you can see that we are all connected into the great spirit. We are tapping into sacred things.”

The band’s latest album, “For Amusement Only,” is their first official studio album since their self-titled debut nearly six years ago. The project is tight and fast-paced, the lyrics are catchy and a jam section toward the end shows a glimpse of just how impressive their live ones

are. It’s q u i c k , concise and features a thrilling peak driven by saxophonist named Jason that Moss met on the street while taking a smoke break.

While they had not released a traditional album since 2012, they have released five official live records in addition to their hourlong impromptu disc, “Abaculus: An Improvisational Experience.”

Through their tours, archives, and live video recordings, Spafford has developed a fan base of “Spaffnerds” who travel to see the band and maintain an online community surrounding its shows. The band provides live streams and access to recordings of their shows on their website. • Spafford • Friday, March 22 • Lost on Main • 319 Main St., Chico

Well Contained MAKE THE MOST O F A C O N TA I N E R G A R D E N 2018 WAS A BUM YEAR for our household vegetable garden. The plot out back was left barren and untilled. No time for hoes, rows or scarecrows. Spring is almost here and this year, I’m making it easy with a container fruit and veggie garden on the back patio.

A dozen containers is my limit, but you’ll probably want to adjust the number and size of containers to correspond with the size of your family or household. Smaller pots are good for herbs, and larger containers are good for tall plants like tomatoes and peppers. Containers can be expensive, especially if you want to match the pots to your existing décor or patio color scheme. If you’re on a budget, just go to the local hardware store, buy a bunch of generic 5 gallon paint buckets, drill about 5 drain holes in the bottom, and you are good to go!

Some fruits and vegetables grow better in containers than others.

For fruits, dwarf citrus trees do very well, and since they are in pots, you can easily move them to avoid cold spells and freezing temperatures.

Our lemon tree went crazy this year, and we have been picking lemons for months. If you are putting a tree in a pot, make it a large container!

Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries also grow very well in containers, and you won’t have to get down on the ground to pick them.

For vegetables, tomatoes are a must. There are so many varieties to choose from. Fresh salsa, spaghetti sauce, homemade ketchup, barbecue sauce, pizza and salad toppings are just a pick away. Bell and chili peppers, beans, peas and radishes are easy to take care of and can produce quite a harvest if you take care of them. Lettuce and spinach are simple too, and smaller varieties of eggplant and some squash are excellent container vegetables. Many people are even growing zucchini plants in containers or on arbors where the vegetables are hangin.

If you have kids, this is a great project the family can do together, and it will save you money at the grocery store too. Have fun with it– try to plan whole meals using mostly items coming from your new container garden.

Need help? Talk to the staff at your nearest nursery or garden center– they will be happy to help. Maybe you can reward them later with a loaf of that zucchini bread you’ll be making! •

Humankindness to the core.

That was the nature of Jolene Kemen, a benevolent community servant who showed life-changing generosity even after her passing.

Jolene became the Red Bluff Round-Up’s first female director in 1996, and she launched the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign for the Round-Up in 2006, working with Mercy Foundation North and St. Elizabeth Community Hospital to raise nearly $500,000 to help fight breast cancer. She passed away Jan. 7.

“We’re super proud of her legacy in the community,” says her daughter, Lynn Keller.

Jolene’s grandfather was one of the Round-Up’s original stockholders, and “she felt honored when she was asked to be a director,” Lynn says.

One of her richest legacies - besides her family, which was her heart - was her work with Tough Enough to Wear Pink, where she helped raise nearly $500,000 in the local fight against cancer.

“That money doesn’t leave Tehama County,” Lynn says. “They used some of the money she raised last year to screen for breast cancer at one of the homeless shelters, and they were able to find four women with lumps. Those are screenings they wouldn’t have been able to do without that money.”

A third-generation Tehama County resident, Jolene graduated from Red Bluff High School in 1970 and Shasta College in 1972, where she met her husband, Cliff. She worked at Red Bluff Auto Electric, a business her parents started in 1952, that she and Cliff later bought and continued running. In later years, she took on part-time bookkeeping jobs to continue growing her professional talents. At the same time, she always found a way to be there for her main job of raising her children.

Jolene was also a member of the St. Elizabeth Community Hospital Advisory Board, the Chamber of Commerce and the Emblem Club, among other things.

And at the end of her life, she continued to give changing at least three people’s lives by donating her organs. When it was time, hospital staff honored Jolene with the “donor walk.”

“It was 3 a.m., but all the nursing staff stopped their work, came out and lined the hallways to honor my mom,” Lynn says.

“It was so amazing. We knew how treasured she was. They 100 percent really live the ‘humankindness.’ They provided truly spectacular care for my mom.”

We are thankful for Jolene’s years of servant leadership to the Red Bluff Community and St. Elizabeth Community Hospital. Her dedication will have a lasting legacy for years to come.

THE STATE OF A LEGACY LOCALS

S TAT E T H E AT R E O U TG O I N G P R E S I D E N T BILL CORNELIUS

AS OUTGOING PRESIDENT of the State Theatre for the Arts, Bill Cornelius has shared drinks in the Green Room with the Gatlin Brothers – “I almost needed a ride home after that one,” he says with a laugh – played golf with Buck Brannaman of the documentary “Buck,” and helped actor Tom Hanks orchestrate the funeral of his mother at the Red Bluff venue.

The real reward for his work to restore the old theater with a group of his friends, however, seems to have come last summer, when he watched his granddaughter come alive with the passion of performance during a theater arts camp held at the State. “She’s sold on the arts,” he says, pride tinging his voice. “Without that theater,” he sighs, his voice trailing with the relief that comes after years of hard work doing what many thought was impossible, if not ludicrous, to bring the State back to glorious life. “It could have been a parking lot.”

After work through the Red Bluff Rotary rebuilding the clock tower of downtown, Cornelius, along with Bob Douglas, Marv Locke and Bob Brainard, were asked to spearhead a feasibility committee to determine if the theater could be purchased from the private owners and restored to a usable performance space for the community. “I assumed when we were asked to do that, it would take a4

47

month or two to decide it was not feasible,” he says. “We spent an entire year meeting every week. We finally decided there was an opportunity there. What started out as two months turned into 10 years.”

The theater, as of May 2013, is owned outright by the nonprofit State Theatre for the Arts, and has been fully restored to the glory of which many of its greatest champions remember from their childhood.

For Cornelius, the State Theatre of yore was a balm to a hardscrabble youth spent in Red Bluff. “I missed a father,” he says.

“I wasn’t particularly motivated.” His mom was a maid at the Tremont Hotel and he says, “We had very little in our household.

If I needed a baseball glove, I got a baseball glove and I think she must have gone without to get it for me.”

The grace of coaches and teachers kept the young man in line, and he went on to earn a degree in corrections from Chico State University and returned to Tehama County to start a career in probation. He retired in 1998 as chief, having held the position for almost 20 years. “I was able to relate to probationers pretty well because I could have been one myself when I was a kid,” he says. “I wasn’t perfect but I wasn’t an outlaw.”

Despite 30 years in probation, retirement wasn’t the great joy he expected, however. “Initially I decided, like a lot of people, that it was time to relax and retire and enjoy myself,” he says. “But I looked around and saw things continue to happen that I had previously been a part of.

And I felt a sort of loss.”

He stepped up his involvement in Rotary and dove into big projects like the clock tower and beer sales at the Red Bluff Round Up for scholarship funds. That eventually led to the State Theatre, where he’s enjoyed the camaraderie of hundreds of people determined to see it succeed. Three years ago, he stepped into the role of newspaper columnist at the Red Bluff Daily News, writing a weekly piece called William Tells.

“I’LL ALWAYS BE AFFILIATED WITH IT AT SOME LEVEL, EVEN IF IT MEANS I’M A VOLUNTEER BARTENDER.”

While he’s found ways to stay connected to community through service and stave off boredom of retirement, he’s also determined that room needs to be made for fresh voices. “I strongly feel it’s time for younger blood, new ideals,” he says. “I don’t want to lose the contacts, but I do believe it’s time to get the young folks in. I think the future of this community is with the 40-year-olds, not the 75-year-olds. Us old guys are learning so much about social media and marketing and we’re probably teaching them some things. It’s like a family.”

Family is where he plans to put his added time in the future, with wife of 51 years, Billie, and “two achieving children and four overachieving grandchildren.” When he steps out of his Red Bluff home in the evenings he can see the lights of the State Theatre marquee shining from a few miles away. It’s quite the legacy for a life spent in service to community. Lest anyone think he’s leaving for good, though, he’s quick to say, “I’ll always be affiliated with it at some level, even if it means I’m a volunteer bartender.” • Melissa Mendonca is a graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities.

Woodland Oasis E M B R A C E T H E O U T D O O R S AT M I L L C R E E K R E S O R T EVEN PEOPLE who travel along Highway 36 from Chester to Red Bluff may not realize that there’s a quiet, safe haven tucked into the woods off of the horseshoeshaped Highway 172. Mill Creek Resort is located about a half-hour away from Lassen Volcanic National Park’s south entrance and offers a perfect getaway for families, couples or anyone looking to unwind and embrace Northern California’s natural surroundings.

Built in 1936 as a post office and grocery store, Mill Creek Resort’s original owner, William H. Foster, put Mill Creek on the map. Soon after he designated it as his summer vacation spot, more homes and cabins started popping up in the area. The Fosters built a few small cabins on the property and started renting out tent and RV sites. In 1983, new owners Georgene and Terry Neher came in and built a restaurant, put in propane heating, and made some other improvements. Now retired, Mill

Creek Resort has been put into the hands of current owners Joseph Van Meter and Jillian Hower who are writing a new chapter of the Mill Creek Resort legacy.

The couple met in San Diego, but both preferred the mountains to the sea and eventually had an opportunity to move up to the Weaverville area.

“We wanted to get out of the city,” Hower says.

When they moved to Weaverville, they came up with the idea to acquire and run a cabin rental property somewhere in Northern California. In 2017, the Mill Creek Resort came up for sale.

“It was right when I took a year off of work, and then this came up for sale. It’s exactly what we wanted, so we took the leap of faith and bought it. “I think this place was waiting for us to find it,” adds Hower.

Now going into their third summer operating season, Hower and Van Meter are in their element, continuing4 continued on page 52

the Mill Creek Resort heritage while connecting with nature, their guests, and the community.

“We meet all sorts of people from all over the place in all different stages of life,” Hower says.

“People from the city come up here and they’re so grateful for the trees and the stars. And there are so many nooks and crannies here waiting to be explored,” Van Meter says.

Being so close to Lassen has its perks, too.

The pair and their guests often see bears, coyotes, herds of deer, the beautiful red-headed pileated woodpecker, and other birds. Plus, being on a volcano there’s geothermal activity going on all over the place.

“The most unique hike I’ve ever been on is Cinder Cone,” Hower says of one of Lassen’s famed trails. “The colors and walking on top of cinders is so cool,” she adds.

“That whole nature experience, camping and being near water under the moonlight, you get this feeling of connectedness. We’re really big nature people. This is our playground of the senses,” Van Meter says.

“People get up here and they say, ‘I’ve never seen this many trees’,” says Hower.

The couple is working on ways to accent their surrounding environment with small improvements, like renovating some cabins and implementing healthy, locally sourced food items into their restaurant menu.

Van Meter is a woodworker, Hower is into design, and they’re both into traveling, so their hobbies and skills perfectly complement the business. While they admit it’s been a bit of a learning curve to understand all aspects of running Mill Creek Resort between the cabin rentals, restaurant, and maintaining the tent/RV sites, the partners have been up to the challenge.

“We’re really excited and passionate to be here, so we’re working really hard,” says Van Meter. “Our goals are to put our own soul and vibe into this place,” he adds.

They’re interested in hosting yoga retreats and more communityinvolved events.

“We had our first arts and crafts show last summer in the meadow with a barbecue and live music,” Hower says. “We want to do that every year now; we want to be the center for family-friendly events in Tehama County.”

The pair enjoy sharing tales of the Native American history of the area and how more people are seeking out undeveloped areas to vacation in.

“It’s easy to see what a spiritual and cultural area this is. We want to keep that connectedness to nature and make our own story of this place,” Van Meter says.

Mill Creek Resort has nine cabins, eight RV sites and 14 tent sites.

Special features include a playground area and a meadow that’s great for playing volleyball, soccer or building snowmen. Mill Creek runs behind the property and offers a refreshing place to swim or fish. All cabins have their own kitchens and bathrooms; RV sites have full water, electric and sewage hookups.

Mill Creek Resort is open May through September and has limited operations in other months. • www.millcreekresort.net Kayla Anderson is a freelance writer, marketer and action sports enthusiast who grew up wakeboarding on Lake Shasta and learning to ski at Mt. Lassen.

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.

Today, it’s most likely a rancher or hunter harvesting his quarry. But from the unique vantage point of Robbers Rock, it’s easy to imagine a much different scenario. Roughly the size of a van, this rock is paid little notice by locals traveling between Fort Jones and Yreka. If not for a small placard, the significance of this place would likely have been lost for good.

One can imagine what the surrounding scenery looked like more than 100 years ago –

the two lanes of Highway 3 as a small winding dirt trail snaking west toward the Forest Mountain pass. One can almost hear the squeak of an old leather saddle or the exhale of a trusty quarter horse, or maybe even picture a masked man riding his steed and smell the oil on the pistol in his well-worn holster and gun belt.

Surrounded by the towering pines and junipers it’s quite possible that aside from modern amenities like cars and smart phones, the view hasn’t changed.4 continued on page 56

On July 5, 1908, a single stagecoach made its way toward the summit pass that separated the two small towns.

Along with the driver and three passengers, the Wells Fargo and Co. stage also carried a locked box full of money. At the point where the trail passed the large rock near the summit, two armed men robbed the group of all their valuables, including the lock box. Legend describes the bandits a being “jolly” and one report describes a man with “a handkerchief over his face.” The other robber was so well hidden that none of the victims could ever really describe him. Many speculated about the identity of the thieves, but no arrests were ever made. Whether the men were local remains undetermined.

The small metal plaque describes other robberies that took place at the rock, but the exact number is lost in a mixture of documented facts and local lore. If you find yourself in the area and are the type of person who is always looking for a place to romanticize the Wild West, the North State is a great place to start and Robbers Rock should be on your list.

The Greenville Rancheria is part of the Medi-Cal 2020 Waiver, known as the Dental Transformation Initiative (DTI). This represents a critical mechanism to improve dental health for Medi-Cal children and all children in our community by focusing on high-value care, improved access, and utilization of performance measures to drive delivery system reform. More specifically, this strategy aims to increase the use of preventive dental services for children, prevent and treat more early childhood caries, and increase continuity of care for children. Given the importance of oral health to the overall health of an individual, California views improvements in dental care as critical to achieving overall better health outcomes for Medi-Cal, “all” beneficiaries, particularly children. Your child’s Pediatrician can help facilitate the integration of oral health into primary care by incorporating routine caries risk assessments and fluoride fairish placement during routine well-child visits and referrals to dentist.

Smile California.org™ (Denti-Cal) recommends the following: your baby’s smile begins the moment they are born. Healthy gums make way for healthy teeth. 1st tooth, 1st birthday, 1st visit!

When should you take your baby to their first dental visit? You should make an appointment for your child’s first dental visit as soon as their first tooth comes in or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Many kids get cavities as early as age 2. See the dentist as soon as possible to prevent problems. Keep your baby’s gums clean by gently wiping the gums with a washcloth every day. At about four to six months “teething” will begin as the baby teeth start to come in. Most babies have at least one tooth before they turn 1. By the time your child is 3, all 20 baby teeth should be in place. As your baby becomes a toddler and more baby teeth come in, the dental visits may include teeth cleanings and fluoride varnish to protect their teeth from cavities. Baby teeth do fall out, but it is important to take good care of them until they do. Baby teeth help your child chew and speak properly. Losing a baby tooth too early due to poor care may cause problems with their permanent teeth, like growing in crooked.

Remember, if your child has healthy baby teeth, chances are they will have healthy adult teeth, too.

plaque are easy to miss. From Interstate 5, take the South Yreka exit and head southwest on Highway 3. Drive approximately six miles and look for an unmarked turnoff on your left. If you reach the summit, you’ve gone too far.

Once you pull off the paved road, the plaque and the rock are slightly downhill. It doesn’t really matter what time of year you decide to make the journey. No matter the season, the views are always rewarding. Just keep in mind that if ever you do find yourself standing next to Robbers Rock, you might want to keep an eye out, because the robbers remain at large. •

On Trek T H E I D I OT A N D T H E O DY S S E Y ' S J O E L S T R AT T E - M C C L U R E JOEL STRATTE-MCCLURE went on a walk, but it was no ordinary amble. To wit: His was a 20-year trek around the Mediterranean, during which he authored the “Idiot and the Odyssey” trilogy; fell from a cliff in Turkey; was robbed by Gypsies in Italy; was arrested in Lebanon; lost his money and passport in Morocco; befriended a sorceress in Spain; and was accompanied by armed guards in Egypt.

Perhaps most astonishingly, the Redding resident says it was a blast.

“It was really a fascinating adventure. I’d do it again in a second if I hadn’t already done it.” It turns out the travails were easily outnumbered by the myriad positive experiences, including the personal growth, friendships, fantastic scenery, art and exotic meals.

Stratte-McClure’s adventure started simply enough on New Year’s Day in 1998. He was already living on the Mediterranean (Antibes, a resort town on the French Riviera) and decided to set out on a hike to commemorate his upcoming 50th birthday.

“I didn’t know it was going to be 20 years when I started,” StratteMcClure says with a chuckle. From his earliest days, when he would pore over a well-worn copy of “Myths and Legends of the Ages,” Stratte-McClure has been fascinated by stories from Greek, Roman

and Norse mythology. Trekking through the land of Homer, Odysseus, Zeus, Poseidon and the others held a strong appeal.

Also prompting the journey, Stratte-McClure says, was a case of the midlife blahs. A 20-year marriage had ended and his career as a journalist, despite assignments that had taken him to more than 110 countries, had lost much of its excitement. A spiritual, mental and physical reboot may just be what the doctor ordered, he says.

He coined the term “Medtrek” for his walk around the inland sea, enjoying the way it played with the words Mediterranean, meditation (Stratte-McClure is a practicing Buddhist) and medicinal. “It is a great way to stay in shape,” he notes.

Stratte-McClure’s trek began “with no compass and no camera.” He spent the first night in a monastery and the next day he walked through “the world’s largest nudist colony.” It wasn’t long before his reporting instincts kicked in. “I thought ‘this is too good to pass up’ so I wrote it up for Time magazine,” he says.

By that time, Stratte-McClure was beginning to see some parallels with Homer’s “Iliad,” the epic Greek poem about the 10-year Trojan War, and “The Odyssey,” the classic sequel that recounts Odysseus’s4 continued on page 60

10-year journey home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy. A 20-year trek through the land of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses started to come into focus.

“The journey will give me the chance to become more intimately acquainted with ‘The Odyssey’ and I’m bound to run into some of Homer’s goddesses, heroes, sea nymphs, warriors and villains,” Stratte-McClure writes in his first book, “The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean.”

“Or maybe it will be a total fiasco,” the wanderer continues in his book. “No mentors, no myths, no magic. The whole affair could turn out to be a cosmic joke perpetrated by Zeus, the father of gods and mortals who, said Homer, ‘grants us this or that, or else refrains from granting, as he wills; all things are in his power.’”

The fates were kind, though. StratteMcClure’s first book, based on 2,734 miles of hiking, was published in 2008 and the second, “The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Magic and Madness on the Mediterranean,” followed in 2013. The middle member of the trilogy is notable, in its e-book form, for the 200 photographs, hyperlinks and interactive maps that allow the reader to follow along.

Marion Kaplan, a photojournalist and author of “Focus Africa” and “The Portuguese – The Land and Its People,” found much that she liked in the book: “Like slow food, the Herculean hike around the Mediterranean by Joel Stratte-McClure – no idiot, for sure – seems an improbable ambition. Yet, inspired by Odysseus, Chinese philosophy and his own mid-life crises, the account of his adventures is a triumph of travel writing – entertaining, witty, perceptive and informative. An enchanting read.”

Stratte-McClure is on the marketing trail now as he promotes the trilogy’s final installment, “The Idiot and the Odyssey III: 20 Years Walking the Mediterranean.” The third book finds “The Idiot” in the footsteps of Alexander the Great while exploring the regional cultures in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Tunisia.

The journey ends, fittingly enough, in Tunisia with Stratte-McClure being crowned The Idiot Emperor of Carthage, Lord of Many Domains. For stretches of his Medtrek in France and Monaco, StratteMcClure was joined by his son Luke Stratte-McClure, an actor in Hollywood. Stratte-McClure says he’s in talks about a potential streaming TV series about his journey, or possibly his time as editor of The Paris Metro magazine from 1976 to 1979. If either come to fruition, there’s a possibility the younger Stratte-McClure would play his father. •

A people without the knowledge of their past, origin and culture is like a tree with no roots.

THE SHINGLETOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S roots are buried deep with the history and artifacts of the “ridge.” It began with Eva Johnson in 1961, who found other people interested in preserving the history of the area. The longtime residents decided to collect and display heirlooms and collectibles in a local museum.

In January 1981, the first official newsletter was printed and distributed as Mt. Lassen Historical Society to include Inwood, Viola and Shingletown, all of which stand in the shadow of Lassen Peak. In 1991, the name was officially changed to Shingletown Historical Society.

The society’s mission is to collect, conserve and communicate historical information about the area and its people. Nancy Johnson continues her mother’s legacy of protecting and collecting the local history, along with other members.

~Marcus Garvey

For decades, the society saved money in hopes of purchasing property for the long-awaited museum. Early members offered baked goods and quilts to raise funds for the effort. The dream was more than 50 years in the making. In 2013, the society purchased buildings on Wilson Hill Road in Shingletown. “The society is blessed with dedicated, capable, smart people who have made repairs on the buildings, created displays and have seen to the dayto-day operations,” Johnson says. During 2016, the museum was opened during the summer for limited viewing.

One of the first projects was to retrieve an antique cog wheel from the Dry Mill. Myrtle McNamar, born in Shingletown in the late 1800s, recalled where the cog wheel lay lost in the woods. A pine tree had grown through the spokes and was removed. The cog wheel is on display at the Inwood/Ogburn Cemetery in Shingletown.4

continued on page 66 MARCH 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

McNamar and her husband ran the Cottonwood newspaper in the 1950s and ‘60s. She wrote a book, “Way Back When,” and gifted it to the society.

It is the best reference of the Shingletown Ridge that the society has.

The book has been reprinted several times and is for sale to the public.

Last year, the society hoped to get the traction engine back after it had been sold to Oakland. The traction engine was a feature of the Big Wheels Restaurant, and it had worked and retired in Shingletown in 1935. The society had built a fence, made gravel pads and built a shed in anticipation of the traction engine, which was awarded to the Roots of Motive Power Museum in Willits. The area will now be used to display antique logging equipment and a doctor’s buggy that has been restored by the society.

“The Shingletown Museum boasts having the oldest Steinway Square grand piano in Shasta County on display,” Nancy Johnson says. Other displays include tools used for shingle making as well as other tools used by the pioneers, as Shingletown’s boom-or-bust lifestyle was created over the years through shake making, sawmills, ranching and logging. “The museum is a fantastic place to visit. It’s filled with great exhibits, lots of ridge history and friendly people who love to share their knowledge with anyone – a great way to take a break on the way to Lassen Park or Redding,” Josie ReifschneiderSmith says. On June 1, the museum opens for the summer and will have music, food and new displays.

The Shingletown Historical Society is a living resource for teachers, students, travelers, residents, historians and all who visit.

It helps illuminate the importance of preserving the past, and helps people value those who came before. It will serve as a bridge and connect generations to the past while helping move them forward to the future. • Shingletown Historical Society • Open June–September 31187 State Highway 44, Shingletown • (530) 474-3291

For Abby, she was self-conscious of her gummy smile. This made her feel “on guard” when she was at work, with her friends, and with her family.

SUPPLIES • Natural tooling leather (we used an 8½x11-inch piece) • Leather dye (we used dark brown) • Craft glue for leather • 4 clothespins • Spray water bottle • Rag • Disposable craft paper • Gloves (optional) • Leather finish sealer (optional) TIPS: CHOOSE A DYE IN THE COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE OR LEAVE LEATHER THE NATURAL COLOR. IF YOU PREFER A SQUARE SHAPE, YOU CAN CUT DOWN YOUR LEATHER OR FIND ONE IN THE SIZE YOU WANT. PERSONALIZE THE INSIDE OF THE TRAY BY EMBOSSING INITIALS, A WORD OR DATE.

1. Lay your tooling leather piece on top of the craft paper, then dampen it by spritzing both sides using your water bottle.

This will make the leather more pliable.

2. Dip your rag into the dye and begin applying it in even strokes onto one side of the leather until it’s completely coated.

Repeat this for the other side.

(This step is where some choose to use gloves to prevent stain from getting on their hands.)

3. Fill in any uneven spots by lightly applying more dye in the opposite direction and blotting as needed in lighter areas. One side will be darker than the other because of the different surface textures. You can choose whichever side you want to be visible from the inside.

4. Let the leather dry for a few minutes, then pinch one corner together. Pinch the rest of the corners and shape your tray the way you want it while the leather is pliable.

5. Use a clothespin at each corner to help keep them together and to help the leather dry in the shape you created.

6. Dip your rag in more dye if needed and blot your lighter colored edges to match the rest of the dyed leather. Set aside and let it dry for about 30 minutes.

7. Apply glue to the top of the inside of each pinched corner, then reattach the clothespins.

Dab any glue that drips into the base of the tray.

8. Once your leather and glue are completely dry, remove the clothespins. You can apply a leather finish sealer at this point if you’d like.

WILDA’S COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN SERVES 4 - 5

Enjoy is joining forces with local restaurants to bring a new dish to you once a quarter. Not only will you find the featured recipe here on these pages, but the restaurant will be serving it throughout the month, as well.

Our first foray into this partnership is with Wilda’s Grill and we’re excited for you to try this Coconut Curry Chicken that they will be serving during the month of March. As with anything you get there, we’re sure you will find it divine.

Stop in and try it, then feel free to make it again at home.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

2 T butter

1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 1⁄2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated 1 1⁄2 tsp. minced garlic

1 14.5 oz. can tomato sauce

1 tsp. chili powder 1 1⁄2 T ground coriander

2 tsp. ground cumin

1⁄2 tsp. garam masala

1 T olive oil

1 cup coconut milk

1 lb. grilled boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1⁄2 inch cubes 2- 3 T maple syrup or sweetener of choice (to taste)

74

www.EnjoyMagazine.net MARCH 2019

DIRECTIONS BUTTER SAUCE: STEP 1: Melt the butter in a heavy pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and sautĂŠ until they start to sweat, about 5-7 minutes. Onions should be translucent, not browned.

STEP 2: Add ginger and garlic and stir, letting cook for about 30 seconds. Add the can of tomato sauce along with chili powder, coriander, cumin and garam masala. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes.

STEP 3: Remove from heat. Carefully add the mixture to a blender (sauce will be hot) and blend until smooth. You may need to add a few drops up to 1/4 cup of water to help it blend. Depending on how powerful your blender is, you may need to blend the mixture in two batches. Hold lid of the blender down with a kitchen towel when blending to avoid accidents.

ASSEMBLY: STEP 1: Heat the oil in heavy pot over medium heat.

Add the chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring allowing the chicken to brown on all sides. Add the butter sauce to the pot and heat everything through, about 2-3 minutes. Once it starts to bubble, add the coconut milk and maple syrup or sweetener of choice, to taste. When the sauce regains a simmer, continue to cook for a half hour. Serve over basmati rice or with naan bread. (Pictured served over Basmati Rice Medley, a drizzle of coconut milk and garnished with fresh parsley.)

Spirit TEAM

When I was a junior in high school,

my baby sister died. The grieving process tore our family apart and at 17, I was homeless. I moved from one house to another collecting cans to earn money.

Eventually, I graduated from high school and started a job as a house painter.

Unfortunately, the owner of the business soon became very ill and died. I knew my path forward was through education so I enrolled at Shasta College. My living conditions were malignant and money was a constant stress.

In the spring semester, I joined the Shasta College tennis team. My first practice I was able to hit the ball over the net and I even got a serve in! My confidence started to bloom. I came to every practice and found a community and support system that I had never known. My grades mirrored my newfound confidence. One of my closest friends on the team offered me a place to live with my very own bedroom!

Another of my tennis team besties brought me clothes and toiletries when I had nothing.

I am now on the honor roll at Shasta College and I am working to transfer to a university.

Getting to where I am now was not a straight line.

I failed many times. But, I learned that life is about persistence and having a friend who will hold an umbrella while you trench through the storm is priceless. Or, if you’re like me, a whole tennis team will bring out the sun for you. Eventually my skies cleared, revealing a beautiful rainbow right over the Shasta College tennis courts.

High School Opportunities for Career Exploration The importance of career education cannot be overstated!

According to College Board and the National Office for School Counseling Advocacy, “Students benefit from developing skills that allow them to reflect on who they are and to relate their academic and other experiences to their career goals. When students can understand the relationship between their current experiences and their aspirations for the future, they are more likely to make sound college and career choices — and they are more likely to succeed.” (High School Counselor’s Guide NOSCA 8 Components of College and Career Readiness Counseling, 2011).

Career Technical Education (CTE) programs are defined as programs of study that involve a multiyear sequence of courses integrating core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge in order to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers. The CTE programs listed below are two class periods and they are available to high school juniors and seniors. Single period introductory courses are available for younger age high school students.

School Counselors are excellent resources for information about CTE courses, career exploration, and college majors.

SOLID FOUNDATION S P R I N G R I V E R S F O U N D AT I O N H E L P S E D U C AT E YO U T H T O P R O M O T E H E A LT H Y E C O S Y S T E M S IN THE HEART of Northern California’s Intermountain area is the community of Cassel, sandwiched between Burney and Fall River Mills. Here lies the headquarters of the Spring Rivers Foundation, a foundation passionate about the region’s nature and wildlife.

Spring Rivers Foundation strives to ameliorate stewardship within the Intermountain area, focusing mainly on native aquatic wildlife species. They also encourage participation between locals and their natural environment by offering outdoor education and sparking local interest in environmental projects.

To accomplish these objectives, the nonprofit foundation takes advantage of its founders’ extensive wildlife knowledge and experience. Co-founders Maria Ellis and Jeff Cook are professional ecologists with more than 30 years of combined experience.

Ellis earned a doctorate in aquatic ecology and her master’s degree in marine science. She came to the Intermountain Area in 1990, fascinated with the ecology of aquatic species. Cook holds a bachelor’s degree in conservation and resource studies. He moved to the North State in 1995 to work with Ellis in what has now evolved into the Spring Rivers Ecological Sciences.

Their shared interest in Northeastern California and its native species sparked the concept for the Spring Rivers Foundation. They believed forming a nonprofit entity

would better equip them to work with the state and federal regulatory agencies responsible for protecting species. It has also opened the door for them to arbitrate between these agencies and private landowners to improve the efficiency and quality of research, design and implementation of habitat restoration projects.

Not only does the foundation conserve and enhance native species’ habitats, but it’s also committed to provide opportunities for hands-on education and learning pertaining to nature and wildlife.

With experts in the field, Spring Rivers Foundation has been able to gather a team of qualified, motivated education professionals and administrators who are dedicated to providing enhanced learning opportunities that not only benefit the local environment, but also stimulate youth involvement with real-life projects. • Spring Rivers Foundation • springrivers.org (530) 335–5446 Emily J. Miranda is a freelance writer, designer, and self taught artist. She is a graduate of Simpson University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communication with an emphasis on business and marketing. In her free time she enjoys writing, painting, sewing, and any projects involving creative insight.
