editor’s note july 2019

LAZY DAYS by the lake,juicy tomatoes picked right off the vine, poolside parties that stretch into starry nights and a great outdoors to explore – summer is in full swing, and it’s sun-sational.

Need an adrenaline rush? Nigel Skeet and Ryan Spitz know a little bit about adrenaline. Together, they teamed up to create an adventure/endurance race aimed at spotlighting the abundance of outdoor opportunities in the vast terrain of Northern California. The end game is getting the world to see the beauty and economic potential of the North State’s outdoor adventure industry.

Paddle your cares away with a trip to Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, tucked away in the northeast corner of Shasta County. You need a boat, canoe or kayak to reach this pristine park, which offers lessons in hydrology, geology and cultural history.

If caves are more your style, you’ve got a rare opportunity to take a guided tour through Fern Cave, a 40,000-year-old subterranean feature in the Lava Beds National Monument that’s home to a unique ecosystem of plants, animals and Native American art.

Did you know the North State is home to the second-largest city park in the United States?

Bidwell Park is known as the Jewel of Chico, and it’s a lovely spot for a bike ride or a picnic.

Head north for a double dose of adventure – Skyak combines a full day of zipline and kayaking into one memorable expedition. Start with a zipline tree-to-tree canopy tour before kayaking on Malone Springs in the Upper Klamath Lake wetlands.

Please join us for Enjoy Movies in the Park, which will be in Anderson River Park every Friday in July. It’s the perfect chance to kick back with family and friends while we treat you to a movie under the stars. Bonus – the river knocks the temperature down by at least 10 degrees!

Slather on some sunscreen, pour yourself an ice-cold beverage and savor every moment of sweet summer. Enjoy!

Passion I am the mother of a three-year-old and a sixyear-old, a military wife of almost seventeen years, and a straight “A” student at Shasta College!

My husband is active duty, so it is challenging to balance school and family life, especially when my husband is deployed. I have had to take most of my coursework online and do my schoolwork after my kids go to bed.

With my husband being away a lot for military training and with me being a stay-at-home mom, I need the flexibility of online classes. I always say that I am a mother by day and a student at night. I was even able to take my science with lab requirements online through the ACE program.

I met Shasta College teachers Miss Ashbey and Miss Haas through my online ECE classes–where I felt an immediate connection. Miss Haas has been very understanding and supportive in my educational journey. She understands what it is like to be a mom juggling it all because she has been there herself. She has been there through tough times and she has been the biggest cheerleader in my moments of triumph. I feel that everyone at Shasta College has been very supportive of my success.

my town TESS WOODFORD, REDDING VP SALES, WALKGREEN CERTIFIED DECKING

HOW DO I SEE MY TOWN: RESILIENT As a child, I remember when my parents drove our family through Red Bluff and into Anderson to our new home. Having been raised in mostly big cities, I thought it a strange place to relocate. Our house was in the country with very few homes in sight, cows and goats wandering up to our fence, and the scent of pasture land was not all that inviting. Everything seemed isolated with nothing but dirt roads, and everyone drove a pickup.

Of course, that was not the case, but from my young vantage point, I just couldn’t envision getting comfortable where I was being planted. But I soon realized that it wasn’t isolated at all. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and there were lots of outdoor activities that I hadn’t been exposed to before. As a young adult, Redding suddenly seemed too small and I made the decision to relocate to explore new areas. When my last child went off to college, life events opened the door to relocate and I realized that I really missed that small-town community feeling. Suddenly, my childhood town didn’t seem all that small after all. It felt like coming home to a loving family that was full of support and opportunity.

When I think of my town, I think of a supportive and generous community whose best assets are each other. It is still small enough where community involvement and working toward mitigating social problems is within everyone’s reach.

There are hundreds of examples of citizens taking an idea that calls to their heart and effecting positive change. I think that’s because we all want to see our community thrive and to contribute to that end in a positive way – and we all have gifts to offer that can heal another.

But the real glue, and what keeps us connected, is our resilience during trying times.

That was never so evident as this past year, when the wildfires came at us. Help was immediate and the love and care was unconditional. So many organizations, businesses and individuals stepped up and leaned in to support our survivors. I was never so proud of my town. And our concern for our community has served us well – our recovery has been steady and, in many cases, better than most areas that have encountered the same type of disaster. Although we are still in recovery mode from our own fire, I see our town, and our survivors, now assisting those who have lost their community in the Camp Fire. They will now become part of our community and it is apparent that they are being embraced in the same loving way as our own. After all, “a community cannot flourish unless its citizens feel safe and hopeful for the future.” Resilience is necessary and the common thread in which we can all connect.

This past year, our town has shown us what we are capable of as individuals and as a community. Our best assets really are each other!

UNTAMED R YA N S P I T Z A N D C R E W KICK OFF CALIFORNIA U N TA M E D A N D T H E NEW CALIFORNIA A DV E N T U R E D I ST R I C T

NIGEL SKEET’S PASSION is far Northern California. Ryan Spitz craves adventure.

Together, the pair teamed up to create an adventure/ endurance race aimed at spotlighting the abundance of outdoor opportunities in the vast terrain from in the upper reaches of the Golden State.

On June 6, Spitz took off from near Arcata, planning to run a 330-mile wilderness course snaking its way to Mt. Shasta that, would last until June 12. It will be the longest endurance race in the country, outpacing the Moab 240. Along the way, Skeet and a team of filmmakers would chronicle the adventure.

The end of the race for Spitz is Bunny Flat on Mt. Shasta. The end game for Skeet is getting the state, the nation and the world to see the beauty and economic potential of Northern California’s wilderness.4 continued on page 20

“The California outdoor adventure industry is a $92 billion enterprise, with 95 percent of it south of the Bay Area,” Skeet says. “I believe that if we can get people here, they’d see what a wonderful place we live in. I believe outdoor recreation is the bread and butter of our region.

If we can get people to come and play here, they’re likely to invest here.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JULY 2019

Skeet and Spitz joined to create California Untamed and the California Adventure District, each focused on shining the spotlight on the outdoor recreation activities and adventures from Mendocino to Lake Tahoe and north to the Oregon border.

“When we got together and started talking, we asked ourselves, ‘What are the ways to bring multiple counties4 continued on page 23

together and bring in untapped potential?’”

Spitz says a few days before taking off on his trek. “Adventure tourism falls into that category.”

So Spitz, the 35-year-old father of three who migrated north from San Diego two years ago and owns Shasta Trail Runs, started mapping a world-class endurance course to run.

“I won’t do something unless I put my boots on the ground, and my wife, Bree, was the one who said ‘You’ve got to do this,’” Spitz says.

Starting near Arcata, Spitz will run mostly on forest service roads and logging roads. The route travels from the coast to near Willow Creek, up through Six River National Forest south of Orleans, east past Forks of Salmon, through the Trinity Alps past Callahan and Kangaroo Lake eventually dumping out past Mt. Eddy, Lake Siskiyou and up to Bunny Flat.4 continued on page 24

JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“This is the most scenic and epic permittable route,” he says, adding the route steers from wilderness trails and the Pacific Coast Trail as they don’t allow permits. “Now, it’s all about can I do this and what will I run into?”

A pre-race trip at the end of May found several logging roads washed out, while Spitz and Co. encountered a few bears as well.

Skeet and his team jockeyed back and forth to film and help with supplies. The crew carried satellite phones and air horns to ward off the bears. Meanwhile, Spitz estimates he’ll consume 350 calories per hour as he will run when possible, hike when necessary and scramble when called upon.

“Having the crew helping means I can refill my food supply every 20 miles or so,” says Spitz, who will subsist on water, peanut butter and jelly, beef jerky, trail mix, Tailwind Powder and Muir Energy Gels after filling up on a hearty cooked breakfast each morning.

To prepare for a trek that includes 50,000 feet of elevation gain and 43,000 feet of elevation loss, Spitz varied running between 50 and 100 miles per week, closing in on the race with a four-day training block of 25 miles per day.

“We also did a thing where some friends and I had to run four miles in an hour,” he says, “and then you reset and keep doing it until you can’t hit that cutoff. I wound up running 84 miles in 20 hours.”

And while Spitz is this year’s test subject, he and Skeet plan to open the race to the top 20 endurance athletes from around the world next year.

“Ryan is such a good story and person and creating this will no doubt draw people to come race and fall in love with this part of California,” Skeet says.

“It’s genius, really,” Spitz adds. “We can showcase this area, bring outdoor enthusiasts here and bucket all the outdoor adventure we have to offer.”• Aaron Williams is the former sports editor at the Record Searchlight.

A H J U M AW I L AVA S P R I N G S S TAT E P A R K AHJUMAWI LAVA SPRINGS STATE PARK is tucked away in the northeast corner of Shasta County, but the far-flung location isn’t the only thing that makes it a bit tricky to reach. Access requires a boat. And not just any boat – one that can deal with shallow water (a canoe or kayak will do nicely).

“Ahjumawi is kind of untouched,” says state park ranger Justin Edwards. “You are immersed in nature. There are no paved roads. No parking lots… I think that is what makes it kind of a gem.”

“It’s a different type of adventure,” says Lori Martin, superintendent of the California State Parks Cascade Sector.4

continued on page 28 JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

27

Ahjumawi’s unique hydrology, geology, natural beauty and cultural history create a one-of-a-kind state park, she says. The waters of the Tule and Fall rivers, Horr and Shallow ponds, Ja She and Lava creeks and Big Lake converge at Ahjumawi. A large system of underwater springs sends water bubbling up through volcanic rock, resulting in bays with brilliant underwater views of lava formations and big trout.

“The water is super crystal-clear,” Edwards says. “It’s beautiful out there.”

Located in the Fall River Valley, the views to the distance take in Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta. The state park has 13 miles of shoreline to explore. Basalt-rock fish traps are a highlight. The Achumawi people, from whom the state park’s name is derived, built traps in shallow to channel spring water to lure and capture fish. The traps also functioned as protective spawning grounds that benefitted the fishery. The resourceful system continues to be used by descendants of the area’s original people.

The state park draws lots of birds – white pelicans, great blue herons, geese, ducks, osprey, bald eagles, woodpeckers and owls. Some are year-round residents; others stop by on Pacific Flyway migrations.

Ahjumawi also is home to mule deer, coyotes and bear.

A special resident is the Shasta crayfish, an endangered crustacean with dark brown coloring on top and orange underside that lives in places with volcanic rock and spring-fed waters. The crayfish is found only in northeastern Shasta County.

A much more common creature at Ahjumawi is the mosquito. “Certain times of the year the mosquitoes are very abundant,” Martin warns.

While Ahjumawi is most known for its watery features, the 6,000-acre state park has a range of habitats – from marshy to parched. And that makes for an interesting mix of botany. Plants include western juniper, bitterbrush, sagebrush, mountain mahogany, pines and Oregon white oak.

“On the old lava flows, it’s dry and vegetation is sparse.

It is a very different feel than when you are up next to the springs, pond or lake,” Martin says.

There are 20 miles of trails. Some lead to small lava tubes, a spatter cone and pit craters formed by lava flows from Medicine Lake volcano some 3,000 to 5,000 years ago.

California acquired the property that makes up the state park in 1975, according to Martin. The place had been a 4

ranch, and structures from that era remain. Ahjumawi was a little-known state park in its early years, Martin says, but visitation has been on the uptick the past 10 years. Social media posts, the growing popularity of kayaking and more people seeking unique places are factors.

Camping – first come, first serve – is allowed in a few designated areas for $15 a night. The camping areas have pit toilets. There’s no running water.

Edwards says the best times to visit Ahjumawi are spring and fall. “Summer is not bad, but it can get hot. I would definitely not travel out there in the wintertime.”

At any time of the year, check the weather forecast, he advises.

The state park is accessed via Big Lake at Rat Farm, a public-use boat launch owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and named after an old muskrat operation. Reaching the park’s coves and camping areas from Rat Farm requires a couple miles of paddling. Be mindful that wind often picks up in the afternoon, Edwards says. “The return is

facing the wind and there’s a bit of distance to cover.”

For anyone planning a first-time trip to Ahjumawi, Martin recommends reading the state park brochure; search for “Ahjumawi” at www.parks.ca.gov.

“What I hope for visitors who come for the first time is that they go away with a meaningful experience and are motivated to visit again,” Martin says.• Directions: From McArthur on Highway 299, turn north onto Main Street, continue past the Intermountain Fairgrounds, crossing over a canal and proceeding three miles north on a dirt road that ends at Rat Farm boat launch.

GETTING THE JOB DONE

C O M M U N I T Y E F F O RT S W I T H T H E L A D I E S O F M C C LO U D THERE’S A HIDDEN historic treasure just nine miles off of Interstate 5, where quaint homes, cozy lodging and nearly year-round events have been steadily transforming the old lumber town of McCloud into one of the most charming communities in Northern California. At the heart of this revitalization are women.

The “ladies of McCloud” have become something of a “thing” in their community. “Since I’ve been here, it’s women getting the job done, but don’t tell my husband that,” says Patricia Ballard-Faulkner, who has chaired the Lumberjack Fiesta for the last nine years. Many downtown businesses are owned and managed by women, and the McCloud Chamber, which helps support numerous events, is also led by women. “The women are the organizers and the men are the support,” explains Claudette Silvera, former president of the McCloud Chamber. “Many of the women here have come from business or working backgrounds and

aren’t ready to crochet at home. They want to be out and active in their community.”

It’s a departure from McCloud’s old days, when men working for the McCloud River Lumber Company were the driving force behind the town’s success. Originally built as a company mill town, the mill kept McCloud secure and prosperous. In the old days, when a faucet leaked, the lumber company, perhaps now ironically referred to as “Mother McCloud,” sent someone to fix it.

After the original mill and railroad were sold in 1963, McCloud’s homes were sold to residents and the mill became a plywood mill, finally shuttering in 2002. “In the 2000s, a lot of people moved away and schools were declining. But in the last couple years we’ve been seeing growth and the high school is thriving again,” explains Ballard-Faulkner. 4 continued on page 36 JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

RESEARCH AND LEARN FROM OTHERS,

THEN MAKE IT YOUR OWN

WHERE YOU LIVE.

Many attribute McCloud’s revitalization to a recent explosion of events. The original event was the Lumberjack Fiesta, a holdover from the mill days that’s now in its 72nd year. But these days, at least one largescale community event happens every month from March through December, typically closing off historic Main Street to cars so local crafts, foods, music and artwork can be set up on the street. Cindy Rosmann of the McCloud Hotel notes: “The Lumberjack Fiesta paved the way for McCloud to transition from mill town to an economy driven by tourism.” Since then, a varied slate of events has emerged.

“Bluegrass Festival has become our biggest event in terms of funds raised, with the Mushroom Festival a close second,” says Chamber President Lorinda Forrest-Meyer. Many of the funds raised also support local groups and projects, so it’s a prime example of business and community working together. “The Mardi Gras event supports the historic McCloud courthouse restoration project, the new Garden Tour supports our local library and the recent pizza fundraiser supports local athletic programs at McCloud High School,” ForrestMeyer adds.

For the ladies of McCloud, sustaining the pace means supporting each other. According to Forrest-Meyer, the ingredient to McCloud’s “secret sauce” is that business owners either “chair, collaborate, participate or donate” to local events, knowing that events bring visitors to stay, eat and play. Also, when one person has an idea, everyone else jumps in to prevent burnout, because it’s all volunteer except for the

recent addition of a paid office manager. “A lot of people assumed that many of us got paid because they couldn’t imagine the amount of work all these ladies were doing without compensation,” Silvera recalls.

Forrest-Meyer chalks up the ladies’ commitment to the fact that McCloud isn’t incorporated, so they don’t receive any guaranteed outside funding support. “We are motivated by a need to survive, and have to work harder and smarter to succeed at what we do.”

Other towns and community organizers in the region have begun to take notice of what’s happening in McCloud. “Recently, we noticed one of our events was duplicated in another local community. Rather than feeling competitive, we embrace the excitement this creates for visitors when they realize there is so much to do in the greater Siskiyou area,” Forrest-Meyer says, adding that there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. “This past winter I spent some time in Steamboat Springs and brought back some great ideas. Research and learn from others, then make it your own where you live.”

So far, the ladies of McCloud show no sign of slowing down, and there are even some men picking up steam. Major efforts are under way to turn the former mill site into a hub of economic development being led by McCloud resident Bruce Berlinger. “Right now we have 13 small businesses onsite, and we’re headed in the right direction,” Berlinger says. For residents, the increased activity brings optimism and a sense of pride in what the community has accomplished. “I call McCloud the little train that could,” Silvera says. “We huff and we puff and we get over the mountain.” • www.mccloudchamber.com

on course W I LC OX OA K S G O L F C L U B I N R E D B L U F F ALMOST 100 YEARS LATER, and still in the forefront (get it?), Wilcox Oaks Golf Club in Red Bluff is a rare gem. In 1922, Grant Wilcox, a well-known sheepman at the turn of the century, and other golf enthusiasts began playing on the “sticker patch,” as it was referred to by local players. Wilcox owned the land and decided to create a nine-hole course.

This crude golf course consisted of unwatered fairways and gravel and sand greens.

Wilcox lived with the course like that for 50 years, and in 1977, he completed a longstanding dream and opened an additional

nine holes. This made use of the fairways that were cleared in 1967, during another attempt to create a back nine holes, to build the new course on the land willed by Wilcox. The first clubhouse, built in the early ‘20s, was a piecemeal structure that has been added onto over the years to become what it is today.

“It’s a real pillar of the community,” says Donna Mattison, member and marketing and communication coordinator for the club. “To have lasted as long as it has says it all. The club prides itself on being an organization where its members are glad to be a part of it.”4

continued on page 40

JULY 2019 Www.EnjoyMagazine.net

So how has Wilcox Oaks Golf Club maintained its longevity? Mattison says it’s because the sport itself has been around a long time. “Golf honors the integrity of a historical sport. The rules seldom change, and the club keeps with the honorable pace that golf offers.” When it becomes dog-eat-dog, or all about the money, she says, it loses that good feeling. “It’s a sport that you can never conquer,” Mattison adds. “It’s a sport against your own mind – a measure of your own grace under fire.”

A not-for-profit, where the members own the club, Wilcox Oaks prides itself on giving back to the community. It hosts a bingo night once a month, with the winnings going to local charities; the club supports the Red

Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce and Red Bluff Round Up; and all high school golf team students can play for free once a week. The club also hosts weddings and social events at the clubhouse, which boasts beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. This is all part of the hope to appeal to younger members, says Mattison, “because they are the future of this game. Without the younger generations, golf would lose its following, and, thus, the club would lose members.”

Some of the ways in which Wilcox Oaks is planning to attract new members is through a series of celebrations.

The club plans to hold a centennial celebration, possibly in 2020. “I want the celebration to be worthy of the history of the club,” Mattison says. There will also be some summer festivities, Mattison promises. For these dog days of summer, the club has a refreshing swimming pool4

E . F R A N C K A N D C O M PA N Y I N F R E N C H G U LC H IT WAS A GORGEOUS Sunday in May, and we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take a drive to Whiskeytown Lake. We ended up at Oak Bottom Marina, open again after last year’s life-changing Carr Fire.

Oak Bottom looked good on a chilly afternoon. We could see new life, new green vegetation growing after the devastation. I said, “As long as we are here, let’s visit French Gulch, and see how it looks.”

The old mining town looks great. The Carr Fire burned the hills around the community, but thanks to our courageous firefighters, downtown remains standing, as does the historic French Gulch Hotel. We dropped into the bar, had a cold beer, and just before we left, Donnie pointed across the street to a very old, nondescript building and said, “You’ve gotta go in there. It will blow your mind. Just do it.”

And we are so glad we did. Nothing on the outside of E. Franck and Company would alert anyone to the museum and beautiful bar that is inside. This is a living, breathing part of Shasta County’s rich history, and so much of French Gulch’s past has been preserved on the walls and ceilings.

E. Franck & Company was established in 1854 by brothers Frederick and Ignatz Franck. Johnny and Barbara Felsher remain the longtime proprietors of this cultural treasure. Johnny told me it started as a mining supply and general merchandise store, selling everything from whiskey to ammunition to firewood. Sometime in the 1940s, E. Franck and Company became a bar and a grocery to serve the residents of French Gulch. Today, it’s a bar, a social destination for locals and a tourist stop for those who know about it. It has a five-star rating on TripAdvisor.

It is packed with historical artifacts: pictures and illustrations from other eras. There is an incredible gun collection on the walls, old bottles and pictures, mining equipment and clothing dating back so many years. And the money on the 12-foot ceiling – lots of it! How do they get up there? Karen, who runs E. Franck, showed me an old western trick – put a stick pin through the paper currency, then wrap the money around a silver dollar. Give it a flat upward throw, and it will stick to the ceiling, while the silver dollar falls to the ground. You’ve got to see it to believe it.

While we were there, Karen showed us a 160-year-old ledger, showing page after page of transactions that took place at the store – entries showing drinks and supplies purchased at 1860 prices.

E. Franck and Company is much more than a bar. It is a museum, an extraordinary roadside attraction with no admission charge. Do you want to do something super cool this summer? Take Highway 299 West to French Gulch and discover E. Franck and Company. • Billy Pilgrim has enjoyed a career in radio, television and marketing since age 16.

The fIght for his life Life was barreling full steam ahead for Wade Riggs when he was stunned with what felt like a sucker punch to the gut diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and it was everywhere.

Fifteen years earlier, Riggs’ brother died from colon cancer, and Riggs himself dodged a bullet by getting tested, discovering he had an early stage of colon cancer himself and having it removed surgically. This news knocked him off his feet - he and his wife are the incredibly busy owners of Riggs Media Consulting and they still have three kids at home.

“It’s hard to explain the emotions that you go through when you get diagnosed with cancer,” Riggs says.

“You know the chances are that you aren’t going to escape this thing.”

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JUNE 2019

He began treatment at Mercy Medical Center Redding with a healthy dose of fear and uncertainty. “The first time you walk into the infusion room, it’s scary,” he says. “You see people who have been fighting for a long time and the toll it has taken on them. When I first went in there, I felt like this is the last step for me and I’m going to die.”

But that fear started to dissipate pretty quickly, thanks to people like Mary Warnock, an oncology nurse who has worked at Mercy for 13 years.

counseling session. Nobody has a woe-is-me attitude. It’s a positive, we’re-gonna-fight-thisthing attitude.”

That’s because the people working in Mercy Medical Center Redding’s cancer center truly believe in the power of their work. “Not everyone we see is coming in for a cure - they’re coming in to extend their life,” Warnock says.

“One man came in the other day and I’d given him chemo 20 years ago. I had tears in my eyes.

That’s why we do it - to get them through this journey the best they can so they can have as much quality of life as possible.”

I felt like this is the last step for me and I’m going to die.

“When patients first come in, they’re scared and apprehensive,” Warnock explains. “First, we explain everything to them, so there’s nothing scary, and we make them feel relaxed.

We assure them we’re there every step of the way to help them through it.”

The infusion area is an upbeat, positive place, Warnock says. “There are always people talking, people laughing,” she says. “We’re trying not to make it a place that is somber and sad. If someone comes into the infusion room and they’re feeling sad and upset, we give that special time to them to let them discuss their fears and try to help them.”

The camaraderie ends up functioning as somewhat of a support group, Riggs adds. “It’s hard for me to tell anybody what I’m going through, but when you walk into that infusion room, everyone knows what you’re going through,” he says. “These people have become family, and the infusion room has become a safe haven for me. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody, but I’m glad I’ve got the people there that I can share this with. It’s like a group

Riggs says the staff in Mercy’s oncology center astound him every time he sees them. “I don’t know how they do it. It has to be a calling,” Riggs says. “They walk in the door every day and have a smile and a kind word and they let you know that they get what you’re going through. When you walk in there, they’re your biggest supporters. You’ve got a fight on your hands and there’s nobody else I’d rather have in my corner.”

As Warnock prepares to retire later this year, she says she’s struggling a bit with her emotions.

“We absolutely fall in love with our patients,” she says. “It’s like a family. I’m going to really miss my patients.”

The feeling is quite mutual, Riggs says. “She’s one of the nicest, most caring people,” Riggs says. “Even when you’re sitting there with those drugs pouring into your body, you almost forget.”

STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD DUPERTUIS

REDDING CRAFTSMAN WORKS L E AT H E R S I N T O F E AT H E R S THE MAN WHO makes birds is known by many names. As a child in the south Bay Area who enjoyed playing in a park gazebo, he was called Baltie, after an uncle. Longtime Redding residents know him as Richard, a man who spearheaded construction of the gazebo in Caldwell Park. But according to his new business card, he’s Baltazar, the man who recently turned a 25-year hobby into an artistic enterprise.

Richard Baltazar Quintana makes birds out of leather. Or, to be more precise, he makes feathers out of leather, cut out one at a time, often layered with contrasting colors to create a visual separation between feathers. These he glues to a papier-mâché core with wire legs. The result is striking, a life-sized model painstakingly crafted to resemble, say, a wood duck or a puffin or a great blue heron.

“You look at birds and they are magnificent,” he says. “Like any art, your eyes look at them, then it goes into your brain. And then from there you try to take it into your own hands. I make them the way I see it.”

Hence, Quintana’s business name: Birds ‘I’ View.4 continued on page 50 JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

49

To help with his accuracy, he refers to an encyclopedia of bird life full of color pictures. His love of feathered creatures is evident as he flips through the pages, pausing here and there to admire a particular species. He also works from photographs, and his attention to detail is so precise he can describe to you the difference in the shape of the head between a spotted owl and a barn owl.

Although his product is authentic, he knows better than to strive for perfection.

“I don’t care who you are. You’re not going to make it perfect,” he declares. “There’s only one creator who’s perfect and that’s God. He’s the greatest artist. I’m an imitator.”

He began his craft by imitating a leather bird made by his brother-in-law, an art teacher in San Jose. Quintana remembers no real attraction to birds until he saw this leather wood duck. “It was just the artwork in it, the detail,” he recalls. “I was really amazed. I never saw him make one. He just told me how to do it.”

His first try was too solid, too heavy, but fortunately his wife knew papiermâché. “It has to be hollow and airy inside,” says now former wife Margaret. “I showed him how to make the layers.”

Quintana adds, “I shape it as best I can, then let it dry in the sun. I use a felt tip pen to add guide lines, so I know basically where to start and stop the leather.” He uses six-gauge copper wire for the feet and interior reinforcement, and hides hardware such as bolts inside the body to weight it so that even the three-foot-high heron will balance on its feet.

For 25 years, Quintana perfected his craft. Friends and family grew accustomed to receiving leather birds as presents for Christmas and birthdays. Margaret says it reached the point where he was asking everyone, “What kind of bird do you want me to make for you?”

Since it took 24 hours to make a single bird, Quintana didn’t see any way to make a profit in his hobby. That changed last year when he entered two of his creations in the Shasta District Fair crafts competition. His first waterfowl, the too-heavy wood duck, and a newer green-winged teal took first- and second-place ribbons, respectively.

“That was the spark that started everything,” says Quintana.

Later that year, Margaret’s sister in Portland talked to a friend who ran a local art gallery. By October, Quintana’s birds were on exhibit at the Geezer Gallery, a nonprofit catering to Portland senior citizen artists, to raise funds for senior citizen programs, according to Margaret. That same month, Quintana’s daughter told them about Enjoy the Store in downtown Redding, and Baltazar started selling his leather feathered friends there.

Today, among the hundreds of consignments on the shelves at Enjoy the Store, visitors can find Quintana’s heron and owl and a puffin with its beak full of fish. He says he will make any bird on demand, a truly one-of-a-kind creation.

Back at home, the man who makes birds pages through his encyclopedia and pauses at each one that catches his interest. “Look at that falcon!” he exclaims. “I’ve got a branch I want to mount it on. It’ll make it higher, more natural. Oh, and look at that merganser! Isn’t it beautiful?”

Then he looks up, smiling, and says, “What kind of bird would you like me to make for you?”

Margaret says with a laugh, “I was waiting for him to ask you that.”• Birds ‘I’ View • Find them at Enjoy the Store, Redding

A L I S A W O O D S’ A B E A U T I F U L L I F E F U R N I S H I N G S

“NEVER BUY THE ART TO MATCH THE SOFA.” A young Alisa Woods heard her mom, Frauke Woods, utter these poignant words to her so many years ago. It’s a phrase she carries with her every day, one that is at the heart of what she imparts to her clients at her shop, A Beautiful Life Furnishings in downtown Chico. There, in a space abound with vibrant color – free-flowing with style and whimsy – the art doesn’t have to match the furniture. Every day, in word, deed and example, Woods inspires those who enter her store to create a life they love, a life that is aligned with their own sense of joy and comfort.

Woods, who had fallen in love with interior design after taking a class in high school, ultimately pursued a career in the realm of graphic arts in college. Finding that graphic arts just wasn’t her passion, she went back to school in her early 30s, this time to follow her first love.

“Interior design has so many different avenues – in that realm, there just isn’t any space for boredom,” says Woods.

She put her passion for interior design to use for 25 years. She worked as an outside sales representative of furniture and fabric in The Bay Area. She lived in Maui and worked as an interior designer, furnishing lanais in the second homes of Maui residents. “I was trying to decide whether to continue working for other people or to work for

myself. I had always had a dream of opening my own furniture store.”

In mid-December 2015, Woods got a chance to make her dream a reality – and she took it.

But A Beautiful Life isn’t just a dream for Woods. It’s a place where the creativity of local artisans is given the space and opportunity to flourish. A Beautiful Life has become a dream for them, too. “Art goes hand in hand with interior design. You can have those spectacular moments with art. Local artists need venues to be able to showcase their work. It can show people how easy it is to incorporate art into your home. It’s not set up like a gallery. It makes it easier for clients not to have to worry about whether the art will work with their sofa or décor,” Woods says “If you love the art, you love the art – and it’ll work. If you love this piece of furniture and that piece of art, they can and will work together,” Woods continues. An artist in her own right, Woods began painting with watercolor long ago. Over the years, she painted many a fine art piece. Then her life changed and her creativity shifted gears along with it. “I’ve always been inspired by nature. Nature has a way of creating its own patina and I try to recreate that color, texture and sparkle within interior spaces,” Woods says.4

continued on page 54 JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“If you

love the art, you love

the art — and it’ll work.”

Ever the up-cycler, it’s no surprise that Woods’ latest medium is furniture painting. At her shop, she teaches classes in furniture painting, showing her clients how to create pieces that speak directly to them.

“There is a lot of crafty painted furniture on the market, but what we do at A Beautiful Life is a bit more elevated in that it involves layering the paint to create a unique texture. When dealing with fine art, I always try to figure out how to make that piece fabulous. With the furniture, I try to let it speak to me. I look at a piece of furniture and ask it what it wants to be. A lot of furniture painters think about what sells. I think about what makes that piece amazing,” says Woods.

A Beautiful Life Furnishings specializes in casegoods like accent tables, sideboards, cabinets and accessories. Woods is always in search of one-of-a-kind items that her clients won’t find anywhere else in Chico. Some are curated items from estate sales and others are specialized items like sculpture, unique lighting options, conversationsparking décor pieces, scented candles, locally made jewelry and accessories, and of course, art that isn’t required to blend in with the furniture. What you won’t find is anything that is mass produced.

“Just about every day, I get a new customer that comes in and says, ‘This place is amazing!’ It comes full circle for me in that moment. All of the random talents that I’ve had in my life come together in a single, cohesive environment. That’s the proudest part of it for me,” Woods says.

Loving her business doesn’t come without some struggle. One of the hardest things is getting a continuous flow of customers into the shop. “Marketing isn’t my favorite thing to do,” she says. Her biggest

battle, however, is helping customers overcome their own objections to purchasing something that truly suits their own tastes.

“So many people have pieces that they have inherited from family members or friends, or ones they acquired during a transitional period. Somehow, they got ‘stuck’ with these pieces. It’s hard to get people to break the pattern – to clear out their clutter, to get rid of junk, to part with pieces that don’t bring them the most joy. That’s what you’ve got to do to make a beautiful life. You own the memory.

You don’t have to keep your grandmother’s dresser to remember your grandmother,” she says.

Although the business is primarily a one-woman show, Woods’ mom, Frauke, who laid the foundation for A Beautiful Life within her daughter so many years ago, is still an integral part of the shop. She works behind the scenes, helping her daughter with the accounting, organization and clean up. “My mom keeps it all going as I move on to new projects,” Woods says. “She’s the voice of reason. I’m so grateful for the beautiful, creative driving force that my mom is to me.” • A Beautiful Life Furnishings 250 E. 1st Street, Chico (530) 487-7229 www.abeautifullifefurnishings.com Find them on Instagram and Facebook

THE

Jewel

Chico OF

A N N I E B I D W E L L’ S G I F T C O N T I N U E S TO B R I N G E N J OY M E N T TO T H O S E W H O V I S I T CERTAINLY, one of the many highlights of the Chico area is beautiful Bidwell Park. Annie Bidwell (widow of Chico’s founder, John Bidwell) donated to the city of Chico in the early 1900s nearly 2,500 acres of land west of Manzanita Avenue along Big Chico Creek. Within a few years, a municipal park was created. Annie donated more land in 1911 and the park began to grow, with city officials acquiring additional acreage. By the mid-1930s, Bidwell was already the fourth-largest municipal park in the country. With an eye to the future, city residents in 1995 urged lawmakers to approve the acquisition of 1,400 acres, stretching east to the foothills. Today, the park, following Big Chico Creek upstream to the east, runs from the Bidwell Mansion area, known as Lower Bidwell Park, to the foothills, called Upper Bidwell Park. Bidwell Park is now the second-largest city park in the United States.

How did it all start? What motivated the Bidwells to donate so much land to the city of Chico? An editorial in the Chico Record newspaper dated July 1, 1905 provides an answer:

The land embodied in this proposed property has been a part of the Bidwell estate since the early days, is a part of the original grant, and some of it is as fertile as the valley of the Nile. The sentiment that prompted General and Mrs. Bidwell to preserve the natural beauty of this immense tract along Chico Creek; to spend thousands of dollars in the protection of the young oaks and vines and the building of roadways and pathways over the hundreds of acres, which others would have cleared and farmed for profit, is the same sentiment that prompts Mrs. Bidwell to welcome the time when she can execute a deed to this property to the City of Chico and feel assured that this beautiful hand work of nature will be preserved for the enjoyment and betterment of humanity.4

continued on page 58 JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

57

Bidwell Park is now the second largest city park in the United States.

The writer noted the fact that Annie Bidwell put no restrictions or special “conditions” on the transfer of land. A couple of weeks later at a public meeting to officially accept the land, a city representative, J.D. Sproul, praised John and Annie Bidwell. He declared the city’s commitment to maintain and preserve the beautiful landscape. He stated:

And now you say to us, that none shall take it from us; that when your temporal control shall cease, we and all the countless hosts that shall come after us, shall retain therein dominion and control forever; that this one spot shall be preserved to nature inviolate and through all time. In love of you, in love and memory of him (John Bidwell), we take this sacred trust to have and to hold inviolate so long as time may run. (Chico Record, July 18, 1905)

Annie Bidwell responded to Sproul by reminding everyone of the potential danger of growth and development in that area of town.

She recalled: From the first years of my residence on Rancho Chico, a sadness has at times oppressed me as the thought has been borne on me that some day the beautiful, beloved, Chico Creek would be destroyed by the diversion of its waters and the slaughter of its trees. More recently my prayer has been that these fears be laid aside, and God who made the Creek and blest us with its custody be trusted to preserve when my power to do so shall have ceased; then it was given me to see a way by which it might be saved. (Chico Record, July 18, 1905)

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JULY 2019

Annie’s dream of preserving the creek and the land on both sides grew as the town expanded and she wanted all people in the city and surrounding region to enjoy the coolness of the creek and the dense canopy of trees that provide much-needed shade in the North State’s hot summers. She famously declared, “A panorama of the past moved before me, followed by one of the future when little children, young men and maidens, men and women of all ages; the sad, the discouraged, the happy, should enjoy this garden of God, because He had bestowed upon me the power and wisdom to preserve it.”

The brainchild of Jen and Darren Roe of Roe Outfitters and Crater Lake Zipline in Klamath Falls, Ore., combines a full day of zipline and kayaking into one memorable expedition.

Participants first tackle the company’s nine zipline treeto-tree canopy tour before a delicious picnic lunch.

After the meal, you change gears – and perhaps clothes – and head to a delightful afternoon kayaking on the tranquil water of Malone Springs in the Upper Klamath Lake wetlands.

JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

“Every platform has a great view,” Roe says. “Mt. McLoughlin is snow-capped and beautiful right now.”

The Crater Lake Zipline staff gives a ground school training session where participants learn how to use their gloved hand brake, sit in their harness and other basic, but simple, tasks needed for safety and to maximize the fun.

Participants need to be at least 10 years old and weigh between 70-250 pounds (don’t worry, you’re not asked to get on a scale, but discreetly weighed). The weight limit exists for safety reasons, the company said. Also, participants must be in relatively good health, not pregnant and not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

After a thrilling morning among the birds, a picnic lunch is served and guests are able to shift gears and clothes for an afternoon among the fishes.

The afternoon spent paddling on Malone Springs, a 5,000-acre freshwater marsh, is the tranquil yin to the morning’s exhilarating yang.

The marsh offers an up-close look into the complex and fascinating ecosystem where beavers, birds, fish and others creatures exist. You’ll paddle past things missed from a freeway and have time and peace to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.4 continued on page 64

Crater Lake Zipline provides the zipline, the kayaks and fun. All you need to do is enjoy what they call a “ROE – Real. Oregon. Experience.”

“We’ve taken the hassle out of planning a day-long adventure,” says Jen Roe, who opened Roe Outfitters in 1984 and opened Crater Lake Zipline in 2015.

“Combining the two is a great way to spend a day and we’ve had people who’ve travelled far and wide to X, Y and Z looking for water or views tell us that what we have is second-to-none.

“It’s like someone telling you that your child is both beautiful and intelligent.”

Your day begins at 8:30 a.m. and wraps up around 4 p.m. and in between it’s nothing short of fun.

The morning offers sky-walkers a thrilling trip into the U.S. Forest canopy. Riders zoom through the upper reaches of the trees on nine ziplines at heights of up to 100 feet in the trees.

Along the way, zipliners are treated to 180-degree views of nearby Mt. McLoughlin, Pelican Butte, Brown Mountain, Upper Klamath Lake and Wetlands and the beautiful Fremont-Winema National Forest. Additionally, participants traverse two skybridges and conquer controlled rappels.

“It’s a great way to spend a day,” Roe says. “The kayaking is 10 minutes from the zipline.”

Tours run typically three or four days a week. They usually need four guests to run a tour and can accommodate up to 10.

“It’s a great activity to do as a group,” Roe says. “We’ll split them up and send some kayaking and some ziplining and have them meet for lunch and they can’t wait to tell each other what they saw.” •

Enjoy $50 off of your PDO thread treatment for the month of July.

Ah, the ol’ “bat wing” problem. What can we do about it? It really depends on a lot of factors. Some people need to focus on skin tightening, while others have extra fat cells weighing the skin down. Some people need muscle bulking to get their arms looking great. It could be a combination of all of the above. Some patients add CoolSculpting to permanently remove fat cells that weigh the arms down, too. Dr. Ashlee Smith and Denise Pearson, FNP put some PDO threads in Julie’s arms 6 months ago.

She was so happy with the tightening she got that she had Cristie Vericker, BSN, RN, put even bigger and longer ones in for her second treatment. Going forward, her plan is to pump iron, eat healthy foods, and let the threads do their magic.

Absorbable NovaThreads provide a subtle, natural lift as well as stimulate collagen for skin tightening on face and body.

Anywhere there is skin, threads can be used. The most popular places are face, neck, arms, and knees.

“IF THERE IS MAGIC on this planet it is contained in water,” declares the American anthropologist and philosopher, Loren Eiseley. He may have been referring to The Riverside Retreat. It is a serene magical place with views of the iconic Sundial Bridge, historic Diestelhorst Bridge and the beautiful Sacramento River.

The Diestelhorst family emigrated from Germany in 1852. In the mid 19th century they purchased several acres near the river.

They grew vegetables and hay on the farm.

Later the Diestelhorst sons would run a successful resort that allowed the locals to cool off during hot summers in the valley. The bridge carries the family name and history of this area.

The property itself consists of three cottage, each with a different theme: Diestelhorst, Nautical and Nesting. The cottages are each unique and secluded.

The Diestelhorst Cottage has a Native American theme and pays tribute to the

history of the area. White settlers in the area thought that two of their white women had been killed by Indians. The Diestelhorst family is said to have helped hide the Indians from the settlers.

Nesting cottage pays tribute to the Bald Eagles and Osprey that hunt along the river.

They can be viewed from the cottages and sitting areas provided. A sitting area between the Nesting and Nautical cottages provides an excellent area to dine and relax. It features outdoor vintage sinks, gas barbeque, island area and dining under a gazebo. Modern amenities along with vintage touches throughout make these cottages special. The private patio adds to the peacefulness and serenity of the incredible views. The outdoor grill is sure to provide a tasty meal complete with ambiance.

Nautical cottage shows the love for boating and water. The current owner, Ronda Culp, created the theme complete with the patio resembling the bow of a ship. “This one is special

to me, as I was responsible for staining and the varnish of all the interior wood work, expresses Culp. She purchased the property in 2008 from Building Adventures, Jamie Lynn. They had purchased it from the Diestelhorst family and renovated it. Culp adds, “I feel very blessed to share such a unique property, filled with history and beauty to guests from near and far. It’s such a pleasure to hear their comments of delight in finding a slice of heaven in the heart of downtown Redding.”

On any day the river flows under the Diestelhorst Train Trestle and the famous Sundial Bridge. Nestled in a private 1 ½ acres, all located within downtown Redding. This is place that may have inspired the saying “If your train of thought is going nowhere, switch tracks.” It has the powerful affect to alter your thoughts to a more relaxed atmosphere. The river flows across the smooth rocks just as it did years before. The movement of the river is calming and soothing. It allows your soul to take in a deep breath and exhale fully with anticipation of a release that fills the body. Listening to the sounds of nature brings about perceptions that may not have occurred otherwise.

The Sacramento River Trail winds its way alongside the river and is perfect for a walk or bike ride. Within walking and biking distance are some of Redding’s finest restaurants.

Guests can take in a show at Cascade Theater or enjoy an exhibit at Turtle Bay Museum.

Lake Redding Park has a boat launch for those seeking adventure on the river. The cottages offer plenty of boat parking and a security gate accessed only with a key code. A path from the cottages lead to the river’s edge where fisherman can cast a line into one of the best fishing sites on the river.

The evening presents rich, vibrant sunsets that create a display of brilliant colors against the Diestelhorst Train Trestle. The river reflects like a prism as soft hues of colors are cast over the foothills. The day has ended and night is upon the Sacramento valley. Nature sighs from the day and settles in for the night.

A blanket of stars covers the night sky adding star light to a perfect evening. The night closes in and I think of Edward Abbey’s quote. “I choose to listen to the river for a while, thinking river thoughts, before joining the night and stars.” • Redding Riverside Retreat 1708 Riverside Dr., Redding • (530) 949-8613

DURING THE NEXT SEVEN WEEKS, a select group of visitors will have the opportunity to take a guided tour through Fern Cave, a 40,000-year-old subterranean feature in the Lava Beds National Monument that’s home to a unique ecosystem of plants, animals and Native American art.

The hourlong ranger-led tours are conducted once each Saturday through Sept. 21 and are limited to six people per tour. Flashlights and the ability to climb down a slanted ladder are required and photography is not allowed.

The restrictive access is not by choice, says David Curtis, a National Park Service archaeologist stationed at the 46,692-acre monument. Federal law requires Curtis to

protect culturally sensitive information about Fern Cave due to its immense significance to Modoc and Klamath tribal members.

“It is a very sacred site for Modoc and Klamath people who are living today. They visit it frequently for religious purposes,” Curtis says. In addition, the centuries-old petroglyphs (carved) and pictographs (painted) within Fern Cave are extremely sensitive.

There are other reasons, besides its cultural significance, to protect Fern Cave, says Katrina Smith, a natural resource program manager. The cave is a bit of a resourcerich treasure trove that stands out amid the surrounding dry, high-desert environment.4 continued on page 72

Organic soil has made its way into the cave from its sole vertical entrance and has combined with the warm, humid microenvironment to create ideal conditions for the namesake ferns to flourish. The ferns and moisture, in turn, provide a home for Pacific tree frogs, snakes and lizards.

Fern Cave is special, but it’s far from the only attraction within the monument’s 73 square miles. More than 800 lava tubes and caves can be explored anytime without a reservation, and some 22 caves have been developed with stairs and ladders. Most caves are located along Cave

72

www.EnjoyMagazine.net JULY 2019

Loop, a 2-mile-long road near the visitors center.

Smith says most of the caves were formed 35,000 to 40,000 years ago when lava from the Mammoth Crater on the Medicine Lake Shield Volcano formed conduits before cooling. There are a few “younger” caves, such as Valentine Cave, estimated to be 12,000 years old.

The developed caves are grouped into three categories: least challenging (higher ceilings and smoother floors); moderately challenging (low sections require stooping and floors can be rough); and most challenging, like the4 continued on page 74

Catacombs, that have portions that require crawling.

Long sleeves, pants, helmet or hard hat and closed-toe shoes or boots are recommended for the easiest caves; wear gloves and kneepads in the more difficult caves. Each person should carry a flashlight and extra batteries; three flashlights per person is ideal.

Smith says there is a lot of interest in Lava Beds’ caves as stand-ins for potential caves on the moon and Mars.

“There are some very cool microorganisms that reside within lava tubes that don’t exist anywhere,” Smith says.

Scientists searching for life on Mars believe microbes from lava tube ice could survive on the red planet.

Larger animals make their home in and among the caves as well, Smith says.

Lava Beds is one of the lowest-elevation sites for the small rabbit-like pika (“they live here because they can find refuge in the rocks,” Smith says) and visitors also may see badgers, marmots, raptors, migratory birds and

mule deer, “and every once in a while, a pronghorn will run through the northern end of the park.”

And then there are the bats: 15 species of bats are present in the park and Smith helps organize “bat chat” talks and evening programs featuring bat detectors and an ultrasonic microphone that allows visitors to see different bat species in real time.

To help prevent the spread of a fatal condition in bats called white-nose syndrome, Lava Beds visitors are subjected to a simple screening process to ensure they are not unwittingly bringing the fungus responsible for white-nose syndrome into otherwise diseasefree caves.

Lava Beds also is well known for its carefully catalogued remnants from the Modoc War of 1872-73, which was the only major Indian war in California. The conflict began when Kintpuash, a Modoc chief who later became known as Captain Jack, led a band of about 60

Historical Trauma

What is overwhelming and unnamable is passed on to those we are closest to. Our loved ones carry what we cannot. And we do the same. Figuring out your trauma history is very important to the health and wellness of you and your family members. Studies show that trauma impact can follow you for generations but it doesn’t have to be this way. Doing what you can to recover now can make a huge difference for your future generations. It’s time to stop this domino effect! This is “Transgenerational and Intergenerational Trauma”!

Transgenerational trauma, is trauma transferred from the first generation of trauma survivors to the second and further generations of offspring of the survivors via complex post-traumatic stress disorder mechanisms and Intergenerational trauma, is usually seen within one family in which the parents or grandparents were traumatized, and each generation of that family continues to experience trauma in some form.

Direct survivors of these experiences often transmit the trauma to later generations when they don’t recognize or have the opportunity to address

their issues. Over the course of time these behaviors, often destructive, become normalized within the family and their community, leading to the next generation suffering the same problems.

Many self-destructive behaviors can result from unresolved trauma.

Depression, anxiety, family violence, suicidal and homicidal thoughts and addictions are just some of the behaviors that are seen in those who have experienced trauma. In most cases, the self-destructive behavior exists due to having a difficult time dealing with the pain of remembering the past, or trying to survive an abusive situation in the present.

Individual trauma reverberates across communities but also across the generations. The concept of historic trauma was initially developed in the 1980s by First Nations and Aboriginal peoples in Canada to explain the seeming unending cycle of trauma and despair in their communities.

Essentially, the devastating trauma of genocide, loss of culture, and forcible removal from family and communities are all unresolved and become a sort of ‘psychological baggage... continuously being acted out and recreated.

warriors in an effort to reclaim their ancestral lands near Tule Lake after they were removed to a reservation in Oregon.

The Modoc took refuge in a lava fortress that was later named Captain Jack’s Stronghold and is now open to visitors. “A lot of our archaeology sites go back a few thousand years and we’ve dated artifacts from 6,000 to 9,000 years old,” Curtis says. “A lot of what we have goes back to precontact with Euro-Americans, to the native Modoc and their ancestors. There are village sites, hunting camps and the tools they left behind. Mostly a lot of obsidian, which was the most common tool stone.”

Petroglyph Point, which is separate from Lava Beds but managed by the National Park Service, is one of the largest sites of rock art in North America. The hundreds of petroglyphs adorning the craggy feature are 3,000 to 6,000 years old, Curtis says. The formation used to be on the shoreline of Tule Lake and it is believed Native Americans would paddle out and create their art. •

It’s a GIRL THING ROC HELLE BARAJAS LEADS GIRLS IN THE ENGINEERING FIELD WITH THE FEMINEERS PROGRAM

ONE NEVER KNOWS what will be found in Rochelle Barajas’ Red Bluff High School classroom on any given Wednesday afternoon. One of her students may be programming a robotic fox to shake like he’s mad upon your approach, eyes turning red at your forward motion. A water feature may start up with an ocean sound.

There may be laughter and excitement, or it may be quiet with an air of concentration. It’s all music to the ears of Barajas, who advises the school’s Femineers program. “Hey, I finally get to do this,” she says.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. I average about 18 girls every Wednesday afternoon.”

Barajas graduated Red Bluff High herself in 1988 and has been teaching there for 19 years. She describes herself as a social butterfly who has been hustling to bring resources to her classroom and students.

Founded in 2013 at Cal Poly, Pomona’s College of Engineering, the Femineers program encourages women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math through project-based learning and female role models. It has affiliate programs at the University of Iowa, Iowa City and San Diego State University, where Barajas became a Certified Femineers Trainer. She is currently the furthest north in California, though she is hoping that will change if Chico State University becomes an affiliate campus.

While Barajas says, “I knew from a very young age that I wanted to work on computers or networking,” she’s very clear that this isn’t the case for most girls. Of a class of 30 students in any industrial arts class at the high school, only two will be female. “We actually had a class that had four girls in it and we got excited,” she laughs. Of the department’s 11 faculty, she is the only female.

“I just want to be a role model for them,” Barajas says of her students.

“They see a female teacher teaching this and they see that I’m the only female in my department.” While it’s been a concerted effort to attract female students to industrial arts classes and the Femineers program, the results have been profound. “They’re very detailed, meticulous,” Barajas says of her female students. “They want to see it done right.” In May, two van loads of Femineers traveled to San Diego State for a Femineers Summit.4 continued on page 78

JULY 2019 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

77

These opportunities are slowly encouraging female students to take risks associated with enrollment in classes traditionally dominated by their male peers. “This builds their confidence,” says Barajas. “If girls are encouraged and given the opportunity and the guidance, then the skills come out. They blossom.”

“When I went to school I was the only girl in my class and I had to compete with the boys,” she adds. “It’s not necessarily a bad thing. It keeps you on your A game.” Still, she knows how rewarding her own trajectory has been in the field and she’d love to see more females have the opportunity. “Chico State has a great megatronics program and I would love to see my girls go to it.”

San Diego State has fostered the Red Bluff High School Femineers program not only by training Barajas, but by providing what she refers to as “easily $10,000 worth of equipment.” The classroom is now stocked with starter tool kits and hummingbird circuit boards which can be coded to turn motors and lights, among other things. In all of her students’ projects, Barajas says, “I encourage them to recycle, to not buy anything.”

She describes some of the Femineers projects as “arts and crafts with a technology twist.” A popular theme is wearable technology where clothes are sewn with conductive thread, bright neopixels and microcontrollers so they light up.

Just as Barajas is mentoring her students in the field, so too are they serving as role models. Femineers are often invited to after-school activities in the county and had a booth at the Museum of Awe at the Tehama County Department of Education. “The girls ran the show,” says Barajas. “Word’s getting out.”

While it’s too soon to tell what the outcome will be of the Femineers program, Barajas is encouraged that some of her former students have enrolled in college engineering programs. “I think it’s sparking,” she says. “It’s getting the wheels turning.”•

Melissa Mendonca is a graduate of San Francisco State and Tulane universities.

She’s a lover of airports and road trips and believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy.

Her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

STEM CELLS ...

OUR BODIES ARE BORN WITH TRILLIONS OF THEM

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

Using your own stem cells, we MAY be able to help you with these issues:

DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Wash and dry potatoes. Slice potatoes as described above and place them in a pot. Fill with water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring this to a boil. Add salt and turn to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 5-8 minutes.

STEP 2: In the meantime, make the vinaigrette by adding the vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well combined.

STEP 3: Once the potatoes are fork tender, remove from heat and drain well. Add the vinaigrette to the pot of drained potatoes while they are still warm. Add the chopped onions, herbs and capers. Toss to coat and let mixture sit for about 10 minutes, stirring gently a couple of times to allow the flavors to meld.

STEP 4: Transfer potatoes to a serving dish or bowl. Serve at room temperature.

Working to Promote a Healthier Community Reach Higher Shasta is a collaborative effort among the Health and Human Services Agency, Shasta County Superintendent of Schools, all 25 Shasta County school districts, early childhood education, local colleges and universities, and business organizations.

One of the overarching goals of Reach Higher Shasta is to promote awareness of the relationship between one’s level of education and health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, educational attainment influences a person’s career options, income, access to stable housing, the opportunity to live in safer neighborhoods and access to healthcare services.

Since the inception of Reach Higher Shasta in 2012, the motto has been “Every Student, Every Option.”

The motto reflects a desire for all children in Shasta County to be provided the education and support needed to pursue a post-secondary education, whether at a university, community college, technical school or enlistment in the United States military.

The difference in weekly earnings between someone with a high school diploma and a two-year associate’s degree is $132 per week, which equates to $6,864 per year. The difference in earnings between someone with a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree is $468 per week, or $24,336 per year. The cost for housing,

meals, tuition and books at a California State University is approximately $25,000 per year, so the gain in yearly income from earning a bachelor’s degree would support one year’s tuition.

Reach Higher Shasta hosts a scholarship that includes local, regional and national scholarship opportunities, which can be accessed at www.reachhighershasta.com.

Anyone pursuing higher education should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www. fafsa.ed.gov. Community colleges and technical schools are still accepting the FAFSA, and the online application is easier than ever before, as tax information from 2017 is used for the 2019-2020 school year.

GIVING BACK

BY EMILY MIRANDA

BORN TO RUN G I R L S O N T H E R U N O F T H E N O R T H S TAT E TWO SCHOOLS, four coaches and 28 girls might not sound like much when it comes to starting a local organization, but it was enough for Brook Banks. In 2010, Banks founded Girls on the Run of Butte County, which has since evolved into Girls on the Run of the North State, serving more than 40 schools in Butte, Glenn, Shasta and Tehama counties. The parent organization, Girls on the Run International, was established in 1996 by Molly Barker and has spread to more than 200 councils across the United States with the mission to inspire young girls everywhere.

“The Burney Elementary Girls on the Run and Heart and Sole teams have received tremendous support with donations from the Burney Community Funds, Soroptimist International Burney-Fall River, Burney High School S-Club, Rotary Club of Burney-Fall River, Pit River Casino and local private contributors in order to make this program available and affordable,” says Jeanine Ferguson, coach and site liaison for Burney Elementary Girls on the Run. Under the supervision of Claire Johnson, executive director for Girls on the Run of the North State, the program strives to help young women discover their inner strength and cultivate girls’ self worth and confidence. Third- to fifthgrade girls are eligible to join a Girls on the Run team, and sixth- to eighth-grade girls can join a Heart and Sole team.

Each team participates in fun, educational programs that include dynamic discussions, activities and an end-of-theseason 5K event.

Girls on the Run Coach Christina Maas became involved with the nonprofit after her daughter Brianna participated in the program. “The positivity I felt at the event made me want to be a part of it,” Maas says. “The program provides a positive

environment that allows the girls to learn how to deal with life stresses as well as build up their self-esteem.

“Throughout this season I watched girls come out of their shells and grow emotionally. At the event I witnessed them reach their goals as their loved ones cheered them on. It was truly an amazing experience,” she says.

Participants develop competence, confidence, character and connections with others. “I really like the program because it makes me feel better about myself. I like that my friends and I can push each other to be better,” says Tayler, a sixthgrade Heart and Sole participant.

The program also fosters an appreciation for physical and mental health, teaching girls how to manage emotions, resolve conflict and make intentional decisions. “Heart and Sole taught me how to care for my teammates, how to deal with situations I’ve never dealt with and that I need to stretch before a 5K run,” says sixthgrader Makayla.

The nonprofit aims to make it possible for all girls to participate by offering financial assistance where needed. Ferguson says they are grateful for those who partner with them in their efforts to educate and empower young girls to be who they are created to be and help them boldly pursue their dreams. • Girls On The Run Of The North State (530) 636-0786 • www.gotrnorthstate.org
