Living well after a cancer diagnosis...

“Burch Physical Therapy helped to restore my arm motion.....

Well trained, professional and compassionate!” ~ Diane

• Physical therapist experienced in the treatment of post- surgical and radiation cancer patients • Certified lymphedema therapist • Nutritional consultation • Customized rehabilitation programs • Aquatic therapy available

Following a cancer diagnosis, patients become less active. Stress. Depression. Feelings of being sick or fatigued. All can encourage inactivity.

THE GOOD NEWS is that studies show participation in a physical rehabilitation program immediately after diagnosis can suspend fatigue, prevent anemia, reduce the risk of cancer return, and promote longer survival after diagnosis!

Burch Physical Therapy offers the only rehabilitation program in the North State developed specifically for oncology patients.

We believe that investing in physical health now provides a much higher quality of life down the road. Call us today: (530) 226-9242. With the participation of your physician we’ll create a customized rehabilitation program for you.

endlesssummer August already? Ready or not, summer’s long, hot days will soon give way to school bells and autumn leaves.

For many of us, that means a little more time to relax at the lake. For Chris Jones, however, it means getting ready to cycle 943 miles in China and another 759 miles in Britain as part of Team Type 1, whose mission is to show that no dreams are off limits to people with diabetes.

And for Gloria Heese and Janel Sawataski, both Sisters of Mercy, this time of year means it’s time to pack up their face paint and hit the road to deliver messages of faith, hope and forgiveness through miming. “We try to get an idea from the head past the neck to the heart,” says Sawatski. We’ll tell you more about them in this issue.

Speaking of heart – we consider the Cascade Theatre to be the heart of our growing, thriving, delightful downtown, and we salute this historical landmark on its 75th anniversary. “What makes the Cascade cool is the connection it has to the community, because 75 years later, we’re still doing entertainment,” says Jeff Darling, the theatre’s general manager.

If you have an empty space on your calendar, consider an excursion to Lassen County, which is featured in our Editors’ Picks this month. The landscape you’ll enjoy is much the same as the one that prompted gold miners, farmers and timber fallers to stake their claim in this wonderland of volcanic landscapes and wilderness.

Of course, we hope you’ll wrap up the workweek by spending your Friday nights at Enjoy Movies in the Park. This month, it’s on the Redding Convention Center lawn and donations will go to Riverfront Playhouse’s capital campaign fund, so we can all help push them closer to their goal of moving downtown.

Finally, we’re thrilled to invite you to Enjoy the Store opening mid-August. We can’t wait for you to see the assortment of locally produced items that our talented neighbors are offering for sale.

It may seem counterintuitive to start a construction project seeking free labor and materials amid an economic recession, yet Rich Quintana knows he’s doing the right thing. The confirmation has come from a variety of businesses and individuals who signed on to help bring a turn-of-the-century style gazebo to Lake Redding (Caldwell) Park.

After convincing the members of his Marine Corps League Detachment 1082 that the gazebo would be an excellent project to fund, Quintana went out to solicit additional support. He found plenty.

The Redding design firm Nichols Melburg and Rossetto donated its time to do the plans, the concrete company Shasta Redi-Mix joined in, and soon Quintana had commitments from carpentry finish workers, painters, steel contractors and more. He also got the city of Redding’s stamp of approval.

Quintana expects the gazebo to be completed by Labor Day, in time to serve as the stage for the Shasta Blues Society’s annual Blues by the River festival on Sept. 18. The gazebo will also serve as a venue for weddings, community meetings and other special events said Redding Community Services Manager Kim Niemer.

15 Enjoy August 2010

The octagon-sided structure will be 30 feet in diameter and open to the large lawn area on its north side, which will allow it to be a stage for performance events.

While growing up in the Bay Area, Quintana remembers a swimming area that had an adjacent gazebo where bands used to play.

“I always thought that it would be a neat idea to have something like that in Caldwell Park,” Quintana says. “With all the things that are going on today with people getting laid off and the state of California in (financial) trouble, I think it’s a way to say thank you to the community and Shasta County. We can still do things with ideas and elbow grease.”

The design of the structure is similar to a century-old gazebo in the city park square of Chaska, Minn. The Lake Redding Park gazebo will be a nod to the North State’s history and be built to last at least 150 years into its future, Quintana said.

It’s certainly a boon for the Shasta Blues Society, which spends a big part of its budget on constructing a temporary stage for its festival each year.

“It’ll be a huge help for us,” said festival coordinator Sammi Barber.

“But it’s going to benefit the whole community. It’s really going to be nice for Redding.” •

“What makes the Cascade cool is the connection it has to the community.”

~Jeff Darling, general manager

17 Enjoy August 2010

There are two ways to experience the Cascade Theatre. One is “the big reveal,” when an out-of-town transplant first attends a Cascade event and is bombarded by gilded ceilings, dramatic staircases and a splendid array of Art Deco exhibitionism. The other is “the reunion,” which has been occurring for the past six years as North State natives have reacquainted themselves with the restored icon of yesteryear.

Maybe their Cascade experience was in the early days, when the theatre featured the latest new-fangled wonderment: talkies. Or maybe it was later, when the building was showing its age but still offered something more than did the generic multiplex across town.

No matter how you first met the Cascade Theatre, it’s not a face you easily forget. This August, the theatre marks its 75th anniversary, and if it weren’t for the presence of modern sound and lighting equipment, you’d swear it hasn’t aged a day.

“What makes the Cascade cool is the connection it has to the community, because 75 years later, we’re still doing entertainment.

We haven’t totally modernized the building, but we’ve repurposed it to become a performing arts center, and we’re just as relevant today as when it opened.” So believes Jeff Darling, the theatre’s general manager. Darling, a lighting designer, moved to Redding with his wife, Rhonda, and eventually contracted with the theatre, which, in 2004, was re-opening after its restoration. Soon, theatre owners determined the need for a full-time technical director/operations manager and Darling was the man for the job.

Attending to the entertainment behemoth is no simple task, but the theatre staff relishes its role. “In this era, people can’t take the time and can’t afford to make a building an artistic place,” Darling observes, “so we’re caretakers of that for the city. It’s a big thing to be entrusted with a place like this.”

They’re not just tasked with keeping the doors open and lights on; their duty is to “honor the past and celebrate the future.” It’s a past marked by highs and lows: the theatre was built in 1935 for $100,000 as a movie house and vaudeville stage. Opening night was the event of the year, boasting 2,000 attendees, nearly a third of what was then the population of Redding.

Time eventually took its toll on the building and its industry. The once-thriving theatre closed in 1998 and would have been bulldozed if it hadn’t been cheaper to just board it up. Jefferson Public Radio

Art Creates Legacy...

ARTicipate is a call to action in Shasta and Siskiyou counties to stand for the greater good and vitality of our region by investing in the arts. Every dollar given to this campaign, up to $150,000, will be matched by The James Irvine Foundation to support the arts today and forever.

“We support the arts because music, art and literature are mankind’s greatest treasures that enable the human spirit. Art touches our lives forever and opens our minds.” Dom and Joan Favero of Yreka, support local arts organizations, assist young artists as they embark on careers, and are founding contributors to the Shasta Siskiyou Arts Endowment through the Shasta Regional Community Foundation’s ARTicipate campaign.

( JPR), the theatre’s metaphorical fairy godmother, arrived shortly thereafter. Hoping to find suitable space for a broadcast studio, JPR representatives viewed the office space attached to the shuttered movie house. “The theatre was reasonably priced,” Darling explains, “and they got the vision to tie in what JPR is doing with what the theatre could do for the community. It was a natural connection.”

Their real estate hunt ballooned into a full-scale community revival. JPR, in conjunction with Southern Oregon University, spearheaded the $5.65 million restoration effort, which was executed so precisely that the theatre now boasts recognitions for its historical significance. The stunning ceiling mural, hidden under a layer of green paint, required a team of skilled conservators and muralists to uncover and restore it. Restrooms and dressing rooms were expanded, concessions stations re-imagined, and chandeliers and carpets reproduced from archival drawings.

By 2004, the theatre was ready to reunite with its adoring public, and community response did not disappoint. “Redding has changed so much,” Darling marvels. “It’s re-shaping. Look at the number of restaurants that are in this area compared to 2004; there are unique local things and we feel we were a big contributing factor to that.” Ergo, “the Cascade is a cornerstone to what Redding’s future is going to look like.”

As for plans and predictions for the next 75 years, Darling can’t help but laugh. “Just try to keep the water out. One thing about a building like this is that we’re constantly reminded of its age.” He suspects the future will bring technical changes and hopes to be a part of them. “We’re trying to get a new projector so we can show high-definition films. Things have changed: we can’t show everything on 35mm film like they did back in the day. It’s just not cost-effective for us.”

Darling believes that with the support of the community, the Cascade Theatre should have a long life ahead of it. “I’ve learned that if you really want to find the greatest things, you have to look where you are: they’re here, all these people who are shaping the community. They can see the beauty in the old Cascade, yet understand that they’re the ones that really shape what Redding will look like in the future.”• The Cascade Theatre 1731 Market St., Redding (530) 243-8877 www.cascadetheatre.org 19 Enjoy August 2010

keepingcool

fun ways to beat the heat It’s the dog days of August and the North State knows how to turn up the heat. Fortunately, there are plenty of fun ways to stay cool. You don’t need a pool to get wet. You don’t even need to leave your yard. Adults: these games are for you, too. Don’t let the kids have all the fun. Keep in mind that the purpose of these games is not to win, but to GET WET! First, gather/purchase your toys. Collect water pistols of all sizes and shapes, and water balloons – the bigger, the better. Find some large buckets to hold water to re-supply water games. You’ll also need a sprinkler (preferably the oscillating kind), a couple of hoses and a music source to play some tunes. Limbo music and other tunes can be downloaded online.

Don’t forget the sunscreen for everyone.

The games: Capture the flag, summer style: This is for all ages- but if there are a lot of younger players, divide them equally onto teams with some older players. Create two teams of up to five players each, who set up their bases at opposite ends of the yard. Bases can be behind a bush, tent or hanging barrier (like a clothesline with old sheets).

Let the kids create the base and the barriers – it’s part of the fun! The more barriers, the better: bushes, trees, shrubs, outdoor plastic chairs set on their sides. Each team must prominently display its “flag” - a T-shirt will do. The team includes defenders who stay at the base and people who attack. The first team to capture the flag of the opposing team wins the game. Every time a player is squirted, they must return to home base for a count of 20 before returning to the game. You can also use Styrofoam balls soaked with water or cups filled with water as “weapons.”

Sprinkler game #1: Play a tune that gets the group going. Every person attempts to make it through the sprinkler without getting wet, but when the song ends, the person whose turn it is picks a partner and goes through the middle of the sprinkler.

Sprinkler game #2: One person plays tunes while everyone else dances around the sprinkler, which is turned off. When the music stops, the sprinkler is turned on and everyone must FREEZE in place for at least a good soaking.

Hose limbo: Set the hose nozzle on a gentle setting. Play the limbo music, and start with the hose at a high level. Everyone limbos underneath the hose. Lower the hose after each turn, and watch everyone get wet!

Water balloon toss: Fill water balloons - the fatter, the better. Line up two teams facing each other within arm’s reach. The first tosses to the second team, and after each successful toss the teams take one step back.

Continue until all balloons are broken. Don’t forget to provide a break and a festive atmosphere by setting up a snack table with fresh fruit, popcorn and drinks. The key is to become a kid at heart, no matter what your age. • 23 Enjoy August 2010

25 Enjoy August 2010

Upon opening the door at Breaking New Grounds on Yuba Street in Redding, customers find themselves lured inside by the scent of espresso and jazz music.

Owner Lisa Langston welcomes everyone who wanders in, taking orders and giving recommendations with the wink and smile of a lifelong acquaintance. This relaxing atmosphere and friendly service is remarkable, considering the bumpy road Langston took to get there.

Langston, 39, got her first taste of owning and operating a coffee business in 2000 with Lisa’s Bagels and Brew, a drive-through coffee shop in Corning that she literally built from the ground up. “I was working at Sierra Pacific, and I wanted to do something different,” she says. “I loved mochas so much that I decided to build a drive-through.”

She bought a pre-made shed, and got to work . “It was just a shell with a porch on it, then I went to Home Depot and bought countertops, siding, insulation and flooring.

A contractor friend of ours plumbed it and put the electricity in it. We picked it up with a forklift, plopped it down on a corner on Solano Street and I ran it for five years.”

Langston got a deal on rent from the lot’s owner, and eventually sold the drive-through business.

Langston then ran Shasta Espresso and Deli in the Shasta County Courthouse for a year before leaving the coffee business to work for Economic Development in Tehama County. She was there for three years before they closed their doors, leaving Langston looking for work.

This setback was the latest in a series that had befallen the Langston family.

“About a year and a half after my husband Neil and I got married, he lost his job. The following January, two of our dogs were hit by a train on the back of our property.”

A few months later, Langston’s 18-yearold daughter Emily was in a severe car wreck.

“She was run off of the freeway by three big rigs,” she says. Fortunately, Emily was shaken up, but only suffered minor cuts and bruises.

“And the following May I was told that I was losing my job at Economic Development.”

After a few months of job hunting, she decided to return to the coffee business.

“I told my husband, ‘I want to pour coffee again,’” she says. “And bam - within a few weeks, he found this place on Craigslist.”

Known as Village Grind at the time, Langston paid a visit. It had a drastically different atmosphere: “No music, really bright lighting, they had grills,” she says. The Langstons bought the business and set about changing its focus to a more relaxed, low-key coffeehouse, and opened in November 2009.

The choice to bring back the establishment’s original name, “Breaking New Grounds,” means more to the Langstons than marketing strategy. “The reason that I asked permission from the original owner to bring the original name back was because this, in a sense, was breaking new grounds for my family, getting away from all the things that had happened and moving on to a new life. And now, here we are.”

This optimism is apparent as you see her interact with customers. “It’s the people that come in here, that’s what gets me going every day,” she says. Interacting with people and getting to share her enthusiasm for life with the people that make their way in and out of her coffee shop every day seems to give her a jolt similar to the espresso that she serves.

Watching her work alongside her daughter, serving coffee, laughing and making customers feel at home, it’s hard to imagine Langston doing anything else. •

the fast and the furious N ational combined outboard hyrdoplane championships

It can be very scary, very hairy, but that’s all part of the rush. ~Jean Mackay-Schwartz

27 Enjoy August 2010

For many, thrills are a rarity, coming usually from activities like riding a rollercoaster, hitting an exciting downhill single track or even something as simple as buying a new outfit. Going 90 miles per hour on an 11-foot modified hydroplane boat, however, is a story in a different book.

That book features the National Combined Outboard Hydroplane Championships, which runs August 10-15 at South Thermalito Forebay in Oroville, and will draw the best stock and modified hydroplane boat racers in the nation.

“There’s a lot of anticipation. I think it’s going to be a bigger national championship than we’ve had in a while,” says Darrell Sorensen, an event organizer. Sorensen expects some 300 entries for the national championship, including about 50 Northern California racers. The last time the national race was held in California was in Copperopolis, east of Stockton, in 2003.

Held in Oroville June 19 and 20, the western divisional championship saw many West Coast racers who showed up to qualify for the nationals. According to Sorensen, racers who participated in June will be a step ahead in qualifying for the nationals by having already raced the championship course.

As one might imagine, navigating through choppy water and wind adds difficulty to an already fast and fickle sport. Control of the boats, which range in size from about six feet to 13 feet and can travel at speeds from 40 mph to 90 mph, is crucial. “In all these boats you’re practically kneeling, you use your body weight to move around,” Sorensen says. A poorly managed lean could mean catching an edge. Add in the factors of wind and choppy water and going 80 mph on your knees sounds riskier by the moment. Historically, though, the sport is pretty safe. continued on page 29

Jean Mackay-Schwartz of San Leandro races a six-foot boat that weighs merely 95 pounds. “It can be very scary, very hairy, but that’s all part of the rush. To me, it’s the ultimate adrenaline rush,” she says. Mackay-Schwartz, 60, has been racing hydroplanes for 37 years, and though she took a spill in an April race she’s still going hard. “It wasn’t too bad. I hobbled around a few days,” mentioning her wound, a tear in her meniscus, “but the boat was OK.” She takes away from these events educational lessons. Of her April spill, Mackay-Schwartz said she didn’t read the water well enough. With that, she was back at it, and with a vengeance. Speaking of the divisional championships in June, she says, “I competed against a couple kids, one was 26, and another was 35. And I beat ‘em both!” Having traveled all over the country (New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and more), Mackay-Schwartz, like many West Coast racers, is happy to have the championship on her home turf.

Chico’s Daniel Wilde shares those sentiments. “Oh, I’m excited.

I’ve been to several nationals all over the country, but I love being able to be the local guy,” says Wilde, who has been racing since 1985.

29 Enjoy August 2010

Much like Mackay-Schwartz and countless others, he was introduced to the sport through his family. Wilde’s grandfather, father and little sister have all served as influences. Despite a rough start, he stuck with it and found a certain peace. “I’ve had a couple doozies in my life,” Wilde says, recalling a “gruesome” spill he took as a beginner.

“But you live and learn. For me, though, it’s quite a solitary thing, being out there on the water, listening to the engine,” he says.

The national championship is governed by the American Power Boat Association. Sorensen, a member of Stockton’s East Bay Boat Club and Modesto’s Northern California Outboard Association, will be on site maintaining the track – roughly a mile long oval that racers must circle three times per heat. During the races, between six and 12 boats are allowed on the water. Sorensen, who started racing 50-mph boats in 1961, is still a racer at heart, and that passion carries through to today. “The first time I saw a race boat as a kid, I pretty much fell in love with it,” he says. • www.orovilleboatraces.com

Profile Pets

spot on T ips for T raining your D og What has a tail that wags, four paws and the ability to simultaneously melt your heart and drive you up a wall? It’s your dog, of course.

Looking for more of the heart warming and less of the wall climbing? Two longtime North State trainers offer a few tricks that even old dogs (and their owners) can learn.

Ideally, the training starts as soon as the cute-as-a-bug puppy shows up with a good attitude and a clean slate, says Carla Jackson, who has been training for 14 years and operating her Jackson Ranch for Dogs since 1999.

The trick, for humans anyway, is to be generous with praise and stingy with the privileges.

“It doesn’t hurt to start out with giving no privileges,” says Jackson. “It’s not cruel and it saves a lot of heartache later on. It’s a rare dog that doesn’t try to get over on somebody. There’s nothing wrong with easing into it. continued on page 33 August July 2010 Enjoy 32

“It’s like a new job: everybody has to pay their dues or else you grow up to be a jerk,” Jackson adds with a laugh. “You can give them freedom after training; otherwise it’s akin to giving a teenager a Maserati and a credit card. It’s just too many liberties.”

Cari Bowe, another veteran trainer, agrees. “The fallacy is all you add is love. The nightmare is the puppy that’s allowed to jump on people, play wrestling games, eat whenever he wants and has a doggy door. He’s been given all the privileges that should be earned, not handed out.”

When puppyhood is a 24-7 party, dogs have a tendency to become “overly exuberant and hard to control,” says Bowe, who has been training dogs for 20 years. “A dog who knows his boundaries and knows his place in the family becomes more calm, more attentive and easier to live with.

“Oftentimes, when owners see they are not doing their dogs any favors by lavishing them with privileges, dogs have more respect for them and become more productive members of the family. They are not vying for leadership. Dogs are inclined to follow a leader, and if they don’t have a leader they tend to make up their own rules,” Bowe says. “For some dogs, it doesn’t matter at all, and there are some who become out of control or even dangerous.”

However, effective dog training does not have to resemble a canine version of Marine boot camp. In fact, the more fun it is, the better the results will be for both dog and owner.

Jackson’s approach is to set the dog up for success, and she does that by administering treats and praise to reward appropriate behavior so that, with any luck, the dog will believe that doing what’s asked is the best, and only, option available.

Carla Jackson and Cari Bowe collaborated on an interactive DVD titled “Your Family Dog—Leadership and Training.”

It is available through www.dogwise.com or www.jacksonranchfordogs.com caribowe@gmail.com

33 Enjoy August 2010

TWO dog problems and solutions

Jackson, who offers one-on-one training, listed two problem behaviors she often hears about from her clients, along with training tips to correct them.

1. House training “I’m a big fan of crate training,” says Jackson. “There’s a lot of resistance to it, and some people think it’s cruel, but it’s actually a kindness, given dogs’ denning instincts.”

Crates provide dogs with a sense of security and they give owners control over feeding and where the dog is allowed to go. “It makes sense to them instinctively. They like to keep the den clean and it gives you control. You take them out and praise them and it becomes a habit to go to bathroom outside. You start small, and gradually expand the area,” Jackson says.

Jackson advises against free-choice feeding. “If they’re eating all day, they’re going to the bathroom all day. Especially puppies, who have to go a few minutes after eating. It’s another recipe for success.”

2. Learning to come when called “This is one of the most important things you can teach your dog, and it’s the command that gets messed up the most,” Jackson says.

People shouldn’t be fooled by gullible puppies who will follow your every step. “Dogs need to know what ‘come’ means. Start on a leash, with a fabulous treat to call them away from a distraction.”

Owners should practice the “come” command often before risking off-leash outings in dangerous areas. “Give him no choice. When he hears that word, he’s got to think there’s no other choice.

“It’s important to follow through. There’s a million ways to teach your dog not to come,” she says. If the dog is rummaging through garbage, you call him and he comes and gets punished, the dog thinks the punishment is for coming. Another way it can backfire is saying “come” and then putting the dog in a kennel for the day.

“Don’t have any negative consequence for coming. It should always be a wonderful experience,” Jackson says.

“You have 12, 14, or even 16 years to give your dog all kinds of freedom, but a very narrow window of opportunity to train them.

You don’t want to plant that seed that they have an option of not coming because they’ll never get it out.” •

Abba’s Child Learning Center 1640 Tehama Street, Suite C, (530) 247-7652 info@abbaschild.info

BRAINTRAINING A bba’ s C hild L earning C enter

Inside the boy’s head, he was bombarded with sounds – the whirring of the pencil sharpener, the clicking of the fluorescent lights, the muffled voices of children playing outside. “Shut up, shut up, shut up!” he would yell, as the sensory overload overwhelmed him, and off he’d go to the principal’s office.

Frustrated and overwhelmed, his family enrolled him in summertime auditory processing and reading programs at Abba’s Child in Redding. A few months into the next school year, Director Judith D’Amico ran into his grandmother. “He had gone to the principal’s office once, and it was to be congratulated because he was on the honor roll,” D’Amico says.

Up to one in four schoolchildren has learning problems. Abba’s Child helps children with learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, auditory and visual processing problems, autism spectrum disorders and more. The facility helps youngsters overcome frustration, boost their self-image and improve their memory, as well as helping to improve their reading and math skills.

Abba’s Child’s philosophy is to “retrain the brain” to process information more accurately and quickly. When children constantly struggle in school, their self-esteem can suffer, too. And when children are frustrated and feel like school is hopeless, they can develop behavior problems. The learning center aims to identify and resolve each child’s learning problems, help the child catch up to grade level and leave the center feeling self-confident.

“We want them to feel they have a place where the world is waiting for them and for what they have to offer,” D’Amico says. “Some of the people who have made the largest contributions to our society have had learning problems.”

Sometimes, ADD and ADHD are diagnosed in children who actually have other learning problems, such as dyslexia or auditory processing issues. Retraining how the ear and brain process sound together can resolve those challenges.

35 Enjoy August 2010

D’Amico – who holds a master’s degree in counseling – started Abba’s Child Learning Center six years ago at a private school after she was asked to tutor some children. She discovered that there were two schools of thought about learning problems. One was that you simply learn to live with it. The other involved “exciting brain research” – and she immersed herself in learning all about it. When she applied it to kids, “I saw them take off – it was total excitement for me,” she says. She and her husband, Roberto D’Amico, opened the center in town three years ago, and about 60 clients are enrolled (many more are assessed each year). Services are also available to people outside of the Redding area through Skype, emails and phone calls.

When a family arrives at the center for an initial assessment, the child is tested for about three hours, and then D’Amico spends an hour with the parents to help them understand what is blocking their child’s ability to learn. Then they work on an approach to knock those barriers down.

“Until fairly recently, people thought that if you have a learning problem, you have to live with it for the rest of your life,” D’Amico says. “It’s not true. This is life changing for children and families. You change the brain and it’s a permanent thing.”

She recalls a shy, withdrawn pre-kindergartner whose speech was unintelligible when he arrived at Abba’s Child. By the end of a four-month auditory processing program, his speech had improved dramatically. “He was just in here telling us about his birthday party, and he was going on and on,” D’Amico says. “We were just going, ‘Wow.’ “I like watching people who think they aren’t capable, become capable. These kids have a purpose in life, and the problems they are experiencing are supposed to be overcome, they’re not life sentences.

I want each child to understand what a treasure they are. It builds incredible strength in kids to know they can overcome life’s problems.

We want parents to know that there is hope, and there are answers.”•

CONSIDER A SHORTSALE INSTEAD

Are you just barely able to make your mortgage payments on your home and ready to let the bank have it! First of all, please realize that you are not alone! 100’s of 1000’s of homeowners are feeling exactly like you. It could be the result of an adjustable rate mortgage, a well intended equity credit line, loss of job, cutback in hours, health crisis, one or more of your kids college tuitions, etc.

Banks are way more open to shortsales now than ever before!

I deal with the banks on your behalf so you don’t have to!

You don’t have to miss a payment to qualify for a shortsale!

If you are in pre-foreclosure and we get an offer on your property we can request that the bank postpone the trustee sale (foreclosure)!

FACT: A shortsale is reported to be far less damaging to one’s credit than a foreclosure!

FACT: FACT: FACT: FACT:

FACT: Now Shortsales are taking less time than EVER to Close!

FACT: I realize that pride is important to all homeowners so every precaution is taken to keep the transaction as private as possible. As a matter of fact, I intentionally do not allow for sale signs to be placed in the front yards of properties that I have been hired to shortsale.

An experienced REALTOR is key to the success of any shortsale… organization, professionalism, communication and negotiation skills are a necessity to make it to the finish line of a shortsale. I’ve successfully closed over $5 million in shortsale transactions! Contact me for a confidential 10 to 15 minute meeting either at my office or your home to discuss this simple alternative to foreclosure.

Story: Melissa Gulden

Q U I C K S T E P S T O L O O K F R E S H I N S U M M E R H E AT The heat is on in the beautiful North Sate, and as much as the very thought of adding anything to your hair or face makes you sweat, here are some simple beauty tips to keep you looking fresh in August.

For summer hair, THINK THREE STEPS, NO HEAT: Curly hair: Shampoo no more than once a week and always choose a hydrating formula (Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Shampoo, $3.50). On non-shampoo days use a thick conditioner and comb through damp hair, from roots to ends.

(Try Pureology EssentialRepair HairCondition, $27). When hair is still damp, use a rich styling cream (Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Crème, $3.50), then just before you leave the house, rub a drop of silicone-based serum (like John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum, $10) between your hands to retwist unruly curls and prevent flyaways.

Wavy hair: If your hair is thick, use shampoo and conditioner recommended for curly hair, like Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Shampoo ($6.50) and Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection + Volume Conditioner ($16), to give waves an extra lift. Because waves can tend to look fuzzy, use a styling cream (like Sunsilk, above) to control flyaways. To coax out more dramatic waves, use Fekkai Beach Waves ($23), which contains sea algae extract to enhance any natural bend in your hair.

Straight Hair: Whether your hair is thick or fine will determine the type of shampoo you use, as well as how often you shampoo. When hair is still damp, spritz a spray gel from mid-length to ends. It will control frizz without adding weight to your hair.

Stay away from serums or anything that says “extra hold,” as they can be heavy. Instead, try a lightweight volumizing spray, such as L’Oréal Professional Volume Expand Volumizing Root Lift Spray ($23). If hair tends to be oily, a hairspray will have a drying effect (try TreSemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray, $4.50), as well as add shine. If you aren’t oily, try a hair wax to separate into small, piecy sections (Kiehl’s Creative Cream Wax, $15.50).

For all hair types, don’t forget UV protection for hair and scalp. Try Redken Color Extend Sun Solar Screen SPF 12, $16. for summer Face, less is more: If you can help it, skip the moisturizer and use a mattifying primer instead. Add some powder bronzer for a sun-kissed glow; heavy foundation

37 Enjoy August 2010

will just look as though it’s melting off your face.

Sheer layers last longer in hot weather. Set your eye makeup with a loose powder over liner or cream shadow to make color last. Try a light shimmering eye shadow in beige just under your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes. (Too Faced Lock Down Cream Eye Shadow is water-resistant, $19.) And don’t forget to switch to waterproof mascara—no raccoon eyes!

A hot look on a bronzed face is shiny lip gloss. The best is MAC Lip Glass. It gives you ultra shine over lipstick or on its own. Plus, it stays put - a big bonus for die-hard lip gloss wearers ($16, Macy’s).

Here are some more beach bag finds to help you stay protected and looking lovely while you lounge: Clinique After Sun Rescue Balm with Aloe, $20, and spritz a little Victoria’s Secret “Secret Moments Mist” in Island Escape, $12, for a sweet-smelling body mist. For a face mist, try The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz, $18.

Nivea A Kiss of Protection SPF 30 Lip Care, $2.49 is a must-have to keep those lips moisturized. And a new find: On-The-Go Sunscreen Wipes! (Supergoop SPF 30, $10 for 8). And finally, a quick way to beat the heat: Bath and Body Works Deep Aqua Cooling Mist, $12.

Keep it in your ice chest for an extra cool treat!

My number-one beauty booster tip is simple: Relax. And summer is the perfect time to do it. Take time to sit back and enjoy time with your friends and family. September will be here before we know it. •

racingtowork P ro - C yclist C hris J ones ’ U nconventional C areer There’s China for the Tour of Qinghai Lake (943 miles over altitudes varying 6,500 feet), then on to the Tour of Britain (eight days, 759 miles, and skirting the Pope’s visit to London), and maybe the Tour of Ireland somewhere in between.

That’s Chris Jones’ work schedule for late August-early September, without accounting for things like flying back home to Auburn to see his wife or help around the house. His workplace is as unconventional as his daily grind: any paved surface, preferably with hills.

Jones, who grew up in Bella Vista, is a professional cyclist and member of Team Type 1 (TT1). TT1 won 55 races in 2009, finished fourth in the National Racing Calendar standings and, in two seasons, has registered 100 victories and 219 podium finishes.

Its mission is to instill hope for people affected by diabetes and to demonstrate that with appropriate diet, exercise, treatment and technology, anyone with diabetes can achieve his or her dreams.

TT1 is the world’s only professional cycling team boasting riders who have Type 1 diabetes, and they’re as international as their schedule,

39 Enjoy August July 2010 2010

including riders from Australia, Holland, Russia, Spain and the Ukraine. And, of course, Auburn by way of Bella Vista.

“We race between 70 to 100 days per year, and travel about 170 days per year,” Jones estimates. For him, the travel can be the best part of the job but can also be the worst, “like when the plane you’re on gets struck by lightning,” he laughs, which happened on a transAtlantic flight to a race in Morocco. Aside from getting to see the world in a unique way, Jones relishes the job for its ever-changing nature. “You have a lot of flexibility; you’re not locked in an office and you’re enjoying the outdoors every day.”

When he’s not racing through foreign countries, a day’s work involves six hours of riding through the hills around Auburn, where Jones and his wife, Cassie, a Redding native and nurse practitioner, moved after her graduation from Yale University. “We picked Auburn for the (cycle) training, which is some of the best in the world because of the variety of terrain: flats, foothills, mountains and really low traffic volume,” he explains.

Jones wandered into pro cycling after discovering a knack for being

“You have a lot of flexibility; you’re not locked in an office and you’re enjoying the outdoors every day.”

~Chris Jones

bike-bound. “My uncle started doing triathlons and I joined him for fun, and realized I liked the bicycling part best. I’d never taken it seriously until then,” he recalls. After graduating college, he joined the San Diego Bicycling Club (SDBC) to learn the basics, and soon his hobby transformed into a career path.

Jones also employed hometown connections to develop his talent.

“The (Redding-based) Owens Healthcare Cycling Team took me under its wing and taught me what it takes to be a professional–the do’s, don’ts, how to care for your bike, all the way through analyzing a race situation. Those guys really taught me how to race.”

Jones worked on his race resume’ while looking for a team to join.

“Pro cycling is like any other sport where teams have positions,” he explains. “They may be looking for a sprinter, a climber, anything like that.” He turned out to be an adept “all-arounder,” an easy position to market to teams shopping for their next member.

Supportive family and friends marked the early years. “When I started as an amateur, my parents (Bill and Cindy Jones of Bella Vista) and in-laws (Redding’s Mark and Tracey Moore) and Cassie would travel to the races, take care of my bike, hand out water, etc.”

Now that he’s a professional with a real pit crew, the family is less often seen standing around for hours, waiting for the brief moment

41 Enjoy August 2010

when Jones will zoom by. “Now they use races to vacation,” he laughs, noting their trips are for shopping, sightseeing and other non-race activities. “They’re enjoying the break. They deserve it.”

Jones competed in one of his favorite races, the Tour of California, in May. Aside from it being in his home state, it’s ideal for one simple reason: “The first stage went right in front my house, so I got to sleep in my own bed.” Far preferable to harrowing flights, time-zone changes, unfamiliar cuisine and being away from his wife. “It’s also great because all of the family is here at the end of every stage,” he explains.

Though he’s ridden all over the globe, Jones’ favorite course is a North State one: “Through Igo-Ono, take the 36 to Fortuna, then Highway 4 to Hayfork, Hayfork to 299 to Redding. There’s usually zero traffic, huge climbs and beautiful views.” Beware, novices–it’s a long ride, but for Jones, it’s perfect. “It’s similar to the beautiful mountain stages of a big tour.” Like China, Ireland… you name it. • www.teamtype1.org • www.christopherjones.info

When Gloria Heese packs a travel bag, there are two things she never forgets: white gloves and a make-up bag of face paint. These are items of a mime’s world that may not be easy to find on the road.

Everything else can be improvised. Heese and Janel Sawatski, both Sisters of Mercy, have formed Mime Ink, and keep themselves busy through semi-retirement delivering messages of faith, hope and forgiveness through the unique medium of miming and narrated verse.

“We try to get an idea from the head past the neck to the heart,” says Sawatski, the “Ink” in Mime Ink. “Getting from thinking to feeling – a mime can do this better than anything else.” A typical Mime Ink program involves narration written by Sawatski and mime done by Heese, who came by miming after training as a clown on sabbatical at a Sacred Arts retreat in 1983.

Although she enjoyed clowning immensely, she found miming much more conducive to delivering spiritual messages, particularly messages of renewal for women. “Clowning was too restrictive,” she says, “The mime is more neutral. There are certain expectations of a clown. A mime lends itself more to what we want to do.”

Although Sawtaski and Heese share a personal love of creating programming for women’s spiritual renewal – which is right in line with the mission of the Sisters of Mercy – Sawatski emphasizes, “We usually create what people want. We can do something completely new or we can adapt what we have.” Heese is quick to add, however, “We don’t do parties.” What they have enjoyed is teaching young people to mime as a way to access their creativity. “Young people get it right away,” she says.

Although two of the major programs Mime Ink produces are “The Seven Last Words Jesus Spoke on the Cross” and a movement and recitation of a prayer written by Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, the two are also involved with secular community activities. They have done the Cat in the Hat at the

45 Enjoy August 2010

Tehama County Department of Education LitFest, greeted poor and the homeless seeking clothing at a local Recycle the Warmth event and have participated in Cinco de Mayo festivities.

Heese and Sawatski began mime work on weekends to support Home Help for Hispanic Mothers, an organization they founded in Tehama County in 1989. The two had already spent years working at Mercy High School and St. Elizabeth Hospital in Red Bluff when they turned their focus to Hispanic women and their children, often the most isolated and vulnerable of the community. The money generated at retreats would fuel the never-ending need for funds and material support for the organization. Home Help for Hispanic Mothers has since been absorbed as a program of Northern Valley Catholic Social Service in Tehama County and Mime Ink has become more of a full-time venture for the two nuns.

In an interesting twist, Heese has begun selling her artwork– watercolor and ink–to support Mime Ink. She has become active with the Red Bluff Art Association and has work hung at Heart Felt Designs and Gallery in downtown Red Bluff. She began creating art one summer in the early 1990s, which was typically a down time at work. “I was feeling guilty,” she says with a laugh that conveys that she understands the humor of Catholic guilt, so she took up watercolor. “That was the class that was on, so that was the class I did,” she says. Her work is often on display at festivals and community events at which the Red Bluff Art Association participates.

One thing that is very clear about Mime Ink is that the work of Heese and Sawatski is fueled not by guilt, but pure passion and joy.

“We’re doing our bliss,” says Sawatzki. There can be no higher calling. • www.mime-ink.com (530) 529-2770 Info@mime-ink.com

LASSEN COUNTY If you close your eyes in the heart of Lassen County, you can almost hear the delight of gold miners striking it rich, farmers plowing their fields and timber fallers trudging through the pines. Though times have changed, the landscape you’ll enjoy is much the same as the one that prompted the county’s first settlers to stay. Folks travel from miles around to explore this wonderland of volcanic landscapes and picture-perfect wilderness.

Pick Fast facts: • Lassen County covers 4,720 square miles and is home to about 34,000 people. It was formed on April 1, 1864, from parts of Plumas and Shasta counties after the two-day “Sagebrush War.” • The county was named after Peter Lassen, a famous trapper and frontiersman who was one of Gen. John C. Fremont’s guides.

at a crossroads Lassen National Forest sits at what is called the “crossroads” – the place where the Sierra Nevada’s granite, sagebrush from the Great Basin and lava from the Cascades and the Modoc Plateau meet. Spend an hour, a day, a week or more – the possibilities are as endless as the forest appears to be.

• Despite its name, Lassen Peak is actually in neighboring Shasta County.

Part of Lassen Volcanic National Park extends onto a western corner of the county.

Toss a line into the river (especially during spring and early summer) and you might find yourself with a mess of rainbow or brown trout. It’s a great spot for equestrians, too – all 12 bridges are suitable for horse crossing, and the two tunnels can be bypassed on riverside routes.

C ulture of C reativity G rowing in C ottonwood The annual Cottonwood rodeo parade in April passed by a cheering throng while foot-stomping music strummed by pint-sized fiddlers accompanied the hootin’ and hollerin’ from the crowd. The old stagecoach stopover still enjoys the feel of an Old West town with raised walkways on either side of a wide main street. No one should be fooled, though. Along with the rich western culture permeating the area, something new has begun to rumble through town.

Keys & Strings Studio opened its doors at the corner of Brush and Front streets three years ago, inviting little fiddlers to pursue their dreams and now to expand their repertoire into classical violin. With a full menu of opportunities, offering private and group instruction in an intimate setting, Keys & Strings Studio has attracted top-notch professional instructors, many home-grown, who share director Martha Boyle’s vision to create a performing arts center in downtown Cottonwood. Adults have joined the mixed choir, exploring a full range of vocal instruction, and toe tappers of various sizes are trying out ballet, jazz and modern dance. Brass and woodwind instruments may be added to the instruction list based on demand, along with the current piano, fiddle, violin and guitar schedule.

Boyle grew up fiddling, performing with family, and competing in the national “Old Time Fiddlers” contest. She and husband Jeff, an elementary school teacher, opened the studio so Martha wouldn’t have to teach young fiddle students out of their home. They wanted to share space with other local music instructors initially to help with expenses. Kimberley Brumbaugh, whose guitar “is like an old friend,” joined Boyle early on, and not too long after, Derrick Pack added his piano skills to the studio.

Between 60 and 100 students at any given time are enrolled in a wide range of classes and private instruction at Keys & Strings Studio. Preschoolers interact with Lyra Josefsson, laughing and learning in their Kindermusik class. Adrienne Jacoby directs the Cottonwood Community Youth and Adult Choirs. Keys & Strings Youth Theater, directed by Becky Browning, performed “Honk” this past spring to a packed audience. Students travel from Red Bluff, Happy Valley, Redding and Palo Cedro to attend classes at Keys & Strings Studio. The first buds of the Boyles’ dream have begun to unfold.

This summer, day camps and workshops offered students an in-depth taste of the fine arts. Film production, graphic design and visual arts classes were offered, along with ballroom and modern dance and the full range of instrumental, vocal and theater arts. “I am really excited for kids to glean and learn from great instructors,” says Boyle, whose three young daughters are just beginning to grow in their own enjoyment of music under Jacoby’s Early Childhood Violin tutelage.

More and more girls want to play guitar like their idols Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, comments Boyle. With media coverage and

reality TV celebrating young artists that include tenor Josh Groban, recent American Idol Lee DeWyze, dancing sensations from So You Think You Can Dance and the popularity of Internet coverage of anyone who wants exposure on YouTube and other sites, a resurgence of interest in self-expression through the arts seems to be motivating more students of all ages to seek instruction.

Fiddlers help define the heritage of country music as they scrape their bows, creating the soulful sounds of bluegrass and the kneeslapping fun of authentic country music, but they share the stage in Cottonwood now with classical violin virtuosos and pianists, jazz vocalists, ballerinas and thespians.

Boyle’s vision includes a nonprofit arm, Cottonwood Fine Arts Foundation, from which she hopes to fund scholarships and free community events. It is in the planning stages. •

www.radiostarstudios.com 180 Main St., Weed (530) 938-1108 53 Enjoy August 2010

Tucked in the center of the small town of Weed is a treasure within a treasure. Poised on Main Street, the façade of the Weed Palace Theater towers over its surroundings, recalling the early vaudeville acts hosted there in the 1920s and the brilliant Hollywood spectacles shown in its later years as a movie theater. The Art Deco building still retains its dart-shaped glass lights and Egyptian interior. Though the multi-screen theaters of today have silenced the projector and the popcorn smell has faded, the Palace Theater knows new life as a professional recording facility, Sylvia Massy Shivy’s RadioStar Studios.

Beginning as a disk jockey, Massy Shivy moved to recording.

Looking to start her own business, she made one of the most important decisions of her career. “She made hundreds of phone calls asking studios if they had old equipment. Her odd collection of gear later became some of the most priceless recording equipment in the industry,” says Chris Johnson, studio manager. Moving to Los Angeles, she used her gear and skills with local bands to produce, engineer and mix albums. She produced the rock band Tool, whose albums went on to multi-platinum sales. Her success continued, producing for bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Smashing Pumpkins.

By 2000, Massy Shivy wanted to move to someplace more serene.

She married and came to the Northern California mountains and within the year discovered the Palace Theater. Built for live theater, she recognized the unique acoustic quality of the building, so she bought it and began renovations. Once three storefronts (an auto parts store, barbershop and the movie theater), the building now houses four recording studios and living quarters for the artists. The movie theater lobby is now a break area, with a pool table, foosball table, kitchen, sofas and a friendly host, Woody, the studio dog.

Studio A encompasses the main floor of the theater, with 30-foothigh ceilings and a 750-square-foot stage. “The spaciousness of

the room is used for recordings,” Johnson says. “Rather than using computerized equipment, though we do use some computers, the vintage gear, hardwood floor and open sub-flooring of the room give a warmth which comes through the music.” Drums, which are difficult to record, find an ideal environment here which musicians seek. Beneath the stage in the “Dungeon” is a maze of rooms allowing for isolated recording sessions. The main mixing board was made in London in 1972 and was used by Led Zeppelin to record its song “Remains the Same.” Johnson says, “The draw of RadioStar is having a world-class studio with the best stuff on the planet. However, the best thing here is Sylvia.”

In the theater balcony is Studio B with a large horseshoe-shaped console, the “Boomerang,” one of four in the world. This studio is the primary mixing room. The front wall can be transformed into a windowed area overlooking the 600 seats in Studio A below. This allows Studio B to become the control room for the main stage. Studios C and D are smaller studios with living quarters. One has a patio next to Spring Creek, complete with a barbecue and basketball hoop.

In the main theater, “Stan” a 20-foot-high man, made of colored vinyl and vinyl records overlooks the activity there. Also, artists and employees report seeing ghosts and strange orbs of light. Some tell of slider 13 moving on its own in Studio A. Johnson says, “The guys from Ghost Hunters stayed in one of the apartments for the night and said the place is rotten with ghosts.”

Massy Shivy has created a hideaway for musical artists to come and create, record and produce works of art in a place that is economical, healthy and far away from the usual turmoil of the city. Her collection of rare and vintage gear is now part of a destination place for clients around the world.

Johnson reflects, “It’s a weird juxtaposition: Here is a world class studio, hidden away in a 90-year-old theater in Weed.” • August 2010 Enjoy 54

T he H ot A ir Q uarterly: E ngaging H earts and M inds “We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute,” says John Keating, played by Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society. “We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love–these are what we stay alive for.”

Those seeking such beauty will be delighted to discover The Hot Air Quarterly, which gives poets and writers a place to share their literary fiction.

Four years ago, Charlie Price, Bill Siemer and Celeste White co-founded The Hot Air Quarterly. Jim Dowling now works with White in publishing and editing the independent quarterly.

White explains that in literary fiction, there is “more interest in the interior world of the characters.” Much literature gives readers insight about themselves, people they know or the culture.

“Literature doesn’t enjoy the prominence it once did before we 55 Enjoy August 2010

had so many other media offerings,” says White. “But like poetry, I think that it represents a vital and enduring aspect of the human psyche. I believe that we are all storytellers at heart, no matter what media we use, and that we all love to hear and read stories, too. The Hot Air Quarterly is our contribution to that human legacy, and our personal effort to keep the flame of literature burning.”

The flame is lit by publishing many North State writers’ work each season. “We want to encourage and promote local writers who are working hard at the craft,” Dowling says. They encourage writers to send their work, but if a story isn’t right for Hot Air, they ask, “Please don’t take a rejection as anything but the subjective and idiosyncratic tastes of the editors. We honor and value all submissions.”

Peter Wright has often been published in Hot Air. He says, “The Hot Air Quarterly is a quality magazine with cover-to-cover clever, imaginative stories, anecdotes and poetry from the minds of authors who have a fondness for literature.” Sometimes Hot Air has

published writers outside the North State, like Clark Beek who has spent the last nine years sailing around the world.

Praised and gifted artists have appeared on the front cover of Hot Air. Joseph Stenger, Raette Meredith and Barbara Enochian are a few local artists whose work has graced the cover. On the front of the 2010 spring issue is a photograph by Brian Lanker, who won the Pulitzer Prize for photography. A painting by Joe Draegert, who earned a fellowship to Yale, honors the cover of the 2010 summer issue.

White studied English literature and creative writing at Wellesley College, and she has studied with former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. In order to write, White has worked a variety of jobs from apartment sitting in Manhattan to writing cover copy for Bantam and Avon; from working carpentry to writing grants. Her children’s book, The Legend of the Flying Hotdog, was published in 1989 and optioned for film in 2003. In 1994, she founded Keswick House Publishers.

Dowling has kept journals since high school. Having a “serious wanderlust” in his 20s, he hitchhiked around the country and worked an array of jobs. For 10 years, he worked as a railroader based out of Dunsmuir, Texas and New Mexico. Later, he earned his bachelor’s degree in English Literature at the University of Iowa.

Recently, he retired after teaching high school history and English.

“What began as an enjoyable hobby quickly spiraled into more of an obsession where I’d find myself in front of the keyboard at 4:30 am, trying to add a little something to a story before switching gears and getting back to my real world job as a high school teacher,” Dowling says.

The Hot Air Quarterly can be found at The Shasta County Arts Council, the Redding Library and at many coffee houses. Dowling drives up to Mt. Shasta and over to Arcata distributing copies.

Electronic subscriptions and hard copy subscriptions ($30 a year) are available by contacting the editors at keswickhouse@earthlink. net. For those who would like to meet the editors and writers, Pacific West Graphics will host the summer issue launch party on Aug. 28 from 7 to 9 pm.

“People read literary fiction or memoirs or poetry in order to lead more thoughtful lives,” White says. “These genres are designed to engage one’s heart and mind, to encourage the reader to think about what they’ve read, and to apply these thoughts or insights to their own lives. I know that I feel my life is emotionally and intellectually richer because of the literature that I have read.” • www.keswickhousepublishers.com

And it’s easier than you think…

Could she handle children? How would it affect our lives? We were devastated! Unknown to us, another restaurant patron sitting next to us overhead our conversation. Out of the blue, he suggested that we try a chiropractor. We had nothing to lose… we decided to try it. We had never heard about chiropractic care. I had a great job in electronics, owned a nice home and had been happily married for three years. Going to a chiropractor was the last thing we considered. Safari’s first few visits seemed to make the pain worse, but after two weeks of chiropractic care, the purple/grey color in her fingers turned beet red! After two months of chiropractic care, her hands completely healed-after 2 years of hell from unnecessary drugs and a threatened ten-finger amputation!

Dear Friend, I could tell you story after story.

In my office, I see people who’ve refused to give up. They didn’t accept the answers they’ve gotten before. They didn’t accept “there’s nothing we can do” or ‘there’s actually nothing wrong with you.”

Many of the people who come to see me complain that they’ve been “everywhere” else, taken “every” test, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms.

Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, I have a story to share with you about a colleague and his wife. Many have read about my wife’s life changing experiences with chiropractic, but Dr. Wong and his beautiful wife, Safari’s story has to be told and shared. Here is their story...

“Twenty-nine years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. My wife, woke up complaining of pain in her fingers. At first we hoped the pain would just go away, then we started seeing doctors, but her fingers and hands got worse and worse. It was like having a very bad headache or toothache, only on all ten fingers, which were looking horrible. They hurt so much she could not sleep, work or even eat. As a husband, I felt helpless. I would have done ANYTHING to relieve her suffering. Over the next two years we went to eight of the best medical specialist that money could buy. Each specialist gave us a different diagnosis and a different drug. The medical bills were piling up.

Nothing was working-and Safari was getting worse.

Her fingers had turned grey and purple. The blood flow to her fingers had stopped. Her fingers were dying, gangrene had finally set in. The last medical doctor decided he would have to cut off all ten of my wife’s fingers. He said there were no other choices.

Not only would they have to amputate all ten fingers, they would have to cut a nerve in her neck! He said a nerve problem in her neck was causing the blood vessels to spasm closed, cutting off the blood flow to her findings. He told us that if he did not operate, the gangrene would spread to her hands and arms.

Needless to say, we were devastated! My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant trying to discuss a life without fingers and hands? How would she eat?

Here is the most important thing I have to say.

You’re body is made to heal itself, but can only do it when it’s free of choked off nerves. So, as much as I’d like the credit, I can’t take it. I’ve never healed anyone of anything. I analyze the nerve system and the spine and perform specific spinal adjustments to remove nerve pressure. The body responds, and often it heals itself once that nerve interference is removed.

Don’t give up. Do Something...Create your miracle!

Special Offer-Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. So, when you call to schedule a new patient exam you’ll receive that entire exam for just $17. That’s with examination, x-rays, detailed report of findings…the hole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But call right away because this offer will expire (by law, this offer excludes beneficiaries of federally funded health programs like Medicare or Medicaid).

Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee.

My assistants are Stacy, Jasmine, Dale and Melony in the Red Bluff Office. Dr. Edwards assistants are Brandy and Jerri in the Redding Office. They are all great and absolutely full of love. Our offices are both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home!

MY WIFE HAS ALL TEN FINGERS. NO DRUGS. NO TEN-FINGER AMPUTATION! I quit my job and went straight to chiropractic college, got my degree and received my license as a Doctor of Chiropractic to practice. I’ve been in private practice every since.

One of the biggest thrills of my life is giving people relief from their pain and suffering. What could be better? I am fortunate to be in a profession that can create miracles on a daily basis. It is my dream that one day, the health care system in America will emphasize natural health care without unnecessary drugs and surgery. We will all live longer and healthier lives!” Dr. Harry Wong Amazing...Moving...Priceless!!

When Corning-based artist Caroline Elfving needs inspiration, she simply steps outside her spacious studio and heads to the barn to gaze upon her gypsy horses. Purchased upon her retirement as the pest control officer at UC Davis, the regal horses are pets kept for their sheer beauty. Elfving doesn’t show or ride. “I just love looking at them,” she says with a soft smile.

Gypsy horses are characterized by their thick (sometimes double) manes, long tails, stout, curvaceous bodies and feathered hocks.

The breed is a result of years of crossbreeding Friesans, Clydesdales, Shires, Fells ponies and Dales ponies by gypsies in Europe to handle a multitude of tasks, including pulling vardos weighing up to 2,500 pounds at stretches of up to 15 miles a day. At the end of the day they needed to be able to subsist on whatever was growing at the side of the road--and calmly withstand children playing on and around them.

Although they have the large hooves of draft horses, they are

considered regular-sized horses, averaging 13-15 hands. Gypsy horses often have black and white spotted markings, making each unique and therefore difficult to steal.

Lacking any high-strung tendencies and owning such characteristics as endurance and stamina, gypsy horses are considered “easy keepers,” perfect for the whimsy of an artist and animal lover such as Elfving. She and partner Pam Davis keep a menagerie of animals on their 54-acre property, including a rhea bird, pot-bellied pig, boer goats, koi fish, tortoise, mammoth donkey, miniature horse, French bulldogs and numerous ranch dogs. Still, it is the beauty of the gypsy horses that capture the artist’s eye and find their way to canvas in the studio.

Elfving works in oils, pencils and pastels, and has recently embarked upon a study of gypsy horses, both her own and others. A new foal, born April 27 with a rare coloring of grey dapple, will provide ample inspiration. Her latest work is an almost life-sized dapple gypsy horse with rider walking away. “Another breeder sent me pictures and has given me permission to paint from them,” she says, with a smile indicating the gift is as good as an ice cream sundae.

There is a camaraderie among gypsy horse breeders, and Elfving has found support from Ingrid Smith of Dragon Fire Gypsy Horses in Cottonwood.

Smith owns the stud that Elfving’s mare was bred to, resulting in the rare-colored foal. American breeders often register their horses in a national registry which requires DNA samples from the horse’s tail hairs. A national registry is a relatively new concept for gypsy horses, as breeding records amongst gypsies in Europe were part of an oral tradition and typically not written down.

The Elfving-Davis property is called Carousel Gardens for Elfving’s love and collection of carousel horses. A child’s carousel, the size often seen outside grocery stores, greets visitors to the property. A walk around the house and studio reveals paintings and sculptures of carousel animals, from small trinkets to large canvases. “People found out I love carousel horses and keep giving them to me as gifts,” she laughs.

Fortunately for her, she has also received generous gifts of local art from fellow artists. Her home is a collection of eclectic art created by herself and by friends. Each piece has a story and Elfving will tell it in a soft voice that conveys appreciation and the kindness that must have prompted the giving.

Those intrigued by the beauty of gypsy horses can see Elfving’s art at Heart Felt Designs and Gallery as well as Montana Morrison Gallery, both in downtown Red Bluff. •

augustrecipes MAKE YOUR OWN PIZZA

Who doesn’t love pizza? Eating out can be expensive, as everyone wants something different. Consider staying home and making your own. Homemade pizzas are pretty simple… and definitely healthier.

Depending on how much time you have, you can make your own crust, use store-bought dough or just buy a bake-and-use flatbread. While the sauce fills the house with the aroma of a pizzeria, let individuals pile on the toppings of their own gourmet pizza. Here are some that my family and friends have created.

To make your own dough, try this basic, fail-proof recipe I found in a Bon Appetit Magazine about 15 years ago. I add some olive oil and a bit of sugar.

While it does take a bit of time, it is a great way to include family members and … well, I think it tastes better, too! I make it by hand, but you can also use a bread machine, standup mixer (like Kitchen Aid) or a food processor. If you don’t need all the dough for pizza, you can freeze half. This will make for great foccacia for later – let it thaw for a couple of hours, sprinkle on some kosher salt, spread olive oil and some rosemary on top, and bake.

Basic Pizza Dough Ingredients: 1 ¾ cup warm water, (warm on the wrist, not too hot) 1 (¼ oz.) package active dry yeast 4 - 5 cups unbleached all purpose flour 3 T Olive oil, and for bowl 2 tsp. salt Pinch of sugar Cornmeal, for pan Quick, Easy Tomato Sauce Ingredients: 1 – 14oz can Italian peeled tomatoes 2 T olive oil 2 large cloves garlic, finely sliced 2 T Sweet Basil 1 small onion, minced 2 T dried oregano 1 tsp. black pepper

RECIPES

B asic Pizza Dough Sprinkle yeast over water. Allow it to activate, about 10 minutes or until the yeast is creamy. (Note: If you don’t see foaming, toss it and start again. You either have bad yeast, or the water is too hot or cold.) Stir until yeast dissolves. In large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups flour, 2 T olive oil and salt and sugar. Add yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding more flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Lightly coat a large bowl with oil.

Place dough in bowl, turning it to oil the top. Cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel. Place in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to an hour. Flatten dough with your fist. Cut dough into 2 pieces and roll into balls. (Each half will make a 12-inch pizza.) Flatten dough slightly. Dust the tops with flour. Place balls of dough on floured surface and cover again, allowing room for dough to expand until doubled, usually 30 minutes. Dough is ready to be shaped, topped and cooked. If using right away, preheat oven to 400 degrees at time of second rise. Place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza stone, pizza pan, or cookie sheet. Push up edge slightly with fingertips to create a ridge around pizza. Top with desired ingredients. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Oven temps will vary, so check at 10 minutes.

Q uick , E asy and D elicious Tomato S auce Combine all ingredients in large pan. Bring to slow boil. Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour, more to achieve desired consistency. Stir occasionally. Makes enough for 4-6 pizzas.

Patrick: A true “night out” doesn’t come around as much as we would like, but when it does, Jane and I like to take in a local event at the Cascade.

name THOMAS ALLEN

occupation BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND OILS

T res C lassique ’ s I N F U S E D BALSAMIC VINEGARS AND OILS Custom infused balasmics and oils from Tres Classique in Ukiah are now finding a home in the North State, from Sacramento to the Oregon border. These unique gourmet products could previously only be purchased at winery events, festivals and street fairs, but now you can also find and sample them locally at Enjoy the Store.

During the 14 years that Thomas Allen has owned Tres Classique, the company has evolved from a salad dressing/ marinade/dessert sauce maker into an upscale business that relies on top-quality ingredients, which are infused and bottled entirely by hand. The process is time-consuming and expensive, but Kathi Rodriquez and Donna Olsen of Redding fell in love with the products while visiting a winery, and the pair brought them to Enjoy The Store because they want you to taste the results for yourselves.

The Ukiah-based business recently celebrated its 25-year anniversary, and it produces nearly 50 varieties of oils, balsamics and oil-vinegar blends infused with garlic, peppers, fruits and more.

What is your philosophy? Our main philosophy, besides making it good, is that people have to sample it. Sampling is the key to our success.

How have your customers shaped your business? When I bought the business, people at festivals asked me, “How come you don’t have balsamic and oil dipping items?” I grew up in Michigan – the vinegar I grew up with, you added it to water and washed your windows with it. But we developed a line of oils, then a line of flavored balsamics, then we started mixing oils and vinegars together. They became our best-selling items immediately. The San Francisco Culinary Academy saved our business by inviting us to their street festival about 10 years ago. We were within about three months of closing. I brought 20 cases of our dressing and let people sample it; we sold 15 of those cases. We keep developing products based on our likes, plus what our customers like. We developed a new flavor last week, the ceviche balsamic, because my buddy Kevin said, “Thomas, I love the flavor of your spicy balsamic but it’s too darn sweet for me. Make something less sweet so I can make my ceviche with it.” We used garlic, peppers, onion, white balsamic and a good quality barrel-aged white wine vinegar to make it less sweet, took one case to a festival and sold out. We’ve got a brand new hit 81 Enjoy August 2010

with a totally different philosophy – semi-sweet balsamic. We’ll do another half dozen semi-sweet balsamics this year.

What growth do you anticipate in the future? The executive chefs from some of the nicest hotels in Las Vegas sampled 15 of our flavors and they’re going to start using them. Another business owner asked if I’d be willing to let him put his label on our products (“private labeling”). He’ll get them into these wonderful places, which could expand to other major cities. We’ll continue to do festivals, farmers’ markets and winery events for years to come, but the business will expand by wholesaling and distributors and brokers.

Very few people do it the way we’ve done it, but we’ve been able to build our brand and build the number of products we have. And when someone says, “I’d like to have a line of products,” we can give them 40 different products now. Their eyeballs bug out when they realize that.

on the store front Coming next month in the “What’s in Store” section, get busy with Get Bees and Allen Larson.

Look for the store to debut this month... check our website, www.enjoythestore.com to find the date.

This month’s feature, Tres Classique’s custom balsamic vinegar and oils:

Have you always been a culinary guru?

When I was in Osaka, Japan, I gave a loaf of banana bread to a woman who helped me find part-time English teaching jobs. She was so impressed with it, she asked me if I’d be willing to interview at the Osaka Culinary Academy, where they were looking for an American guy to teach American cuisine. I didn’t say a word at the interview, and an hour later I was hired. I did that for a year, and when I came back to San Francisco, I picked up a newspaper and Tres Classique was for sale. My experience teaching at the academy is what the bank considered my professional experience – that loaf of banana bread was what I needed to get the loan from the bank.

And it’s been smooth sailing ever since? I failed at the business for the first two years. I ran the business right into the toilet. Want to lose weight?

Buy a business and fail at it – you’ll stop doing everything except worrying about the business. But I kept plugging away. I found the right way to market it, I found new products, and when the lemon splash was born, every festival I did that year doubled in sales and I knew we had a huge hit. Then we went from eight to 12 to 20 to 25 to 30 flavors, and now we’re in the low 40s.

What will we see at Enjoy the Store?

We will have 10 or 12 flavors, which people can sample. Lemon splash is our signature product and bestseller (made with a 10-year-old white sauvignon blanc balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy).

We’ll also have haberrano – which is infused with garlic, balsamic vinegar and two different peppers, habanero and serrano.

We’ll have dipping oil, lemon vinaigrette, some of the fruit-flavored balsamics, fresh basil infused into white balsamic vinegar.

That one sits for five months – isn’t that ridiculous? It’s such a subtle flavor that it takes a long time. We only let our ceviche balsamic infuse for two or three minutes.

So… I’m just going to ask. What’s your secret? Queen-size, knee-high nude pantyhose.

We fill them up with about three pounds of garlic or peppers and put that right into the vinegar and massage it. You squeeze it out, and a ton of flavor is instantly infused. That’s all there is to it.•

He doesn’t accept excuses for eating lousy or not giving 100%! adamson’s has helped me redefine my life!

I’ve got a busy life— married, mother of two gorgeous girls, business owner, cancer league member, you name it. I became too busy for me. I knew I had to make some changes. my friend Lori and I decided to hire a personal trainer and buddy train at adamson’s. wow, what a difference a few hours a week can make!

makingchange M entor a C hild , C hange a L ife Susan Jacob didn’t set out to mentor one child, let alone two.

Eight months ago, she was three years into retirement and looking to volunteer. Hospice seemed a logical choice—she’d worked with those coping with death and dying throughout her career. That plan changed unexpectedly when she attended a local event. While strolling through the exhibits, a booth sponsored by the Tehama County Mentoring Program caught her attention. She never looked back.

Why mentor a child? “It makes a difference in a child’s life to know that someone cares about you,” says Melissa Mendonca, the Mentor Program Coordinator. Research backs Mendonca’s statement.

Perhaps the most compelling is the Kauai Longitudinal Study, which followed high-risk youth for more than four decades. In evaluating the findings, noted psychologist Emmy E. Werner discovered several factors that helped children become successful adults. Among the crucial—a strong relationship with a caring adult.

During the first month with her 10-year-old mentee, Jacob doubted she’d ever have the strong relationship described in the Kauai study. “My mentee was very shy. I’d talk and she’d be pretty much non-responsive,” she says.

She continued to spend time with the child, engaging her with activities like baking, going for frozen yogurt, window shopping, playing board games. Still, there was little communication. So she was surprised when her mentee asked if she could spend the night. “I knew we’d turned a corner,” Jacob says.

Soon the girl’s 12-year-old sister became Jacob’s second mentee.

She asked how long Jacob would be their mentor. “I started to explain that it’s a one- year commitment but that I could do it as long as we wanted,” says Jacob. “When I said ‘one year,’ her little sister interrupted and said, ‘That’s all?’”

Like most mentors, Jacob had no prior mentoring experience.

None is required, says Mendonca. “Just be a kind, dedicated person. It’s all about the relationship, not about a person’s skills or education.” The program provides training.

The time commitment is one hour a week. How that time is spent is up to the parties. “I never mandate activities,” says Mendonca. “I find that mentors and mentees are much more creative than I am.”

Help with schoolwork isn’t necessarily included. “We’ve discovered that a child’s grades go up without ever cracking a book.”

“I don’t know if school was an issue for the girls,” says Jacob, “but when I attended a school performance, teachers told me they’d come alive and opened up, that I’d really had an impact.”

One-on-one mentoring is not for everyone, so the Tehama Mentoring offers alternatives. Lunch Buddies, where mentors and mentees spend school lunchtime together, is a perfect choice for those who prefer meeting in public. Mendonca chuckles when she talks about the program. “The kids love their Lunch Buddy. The younger ones badger the front desk staff, asking if their mentor is coming that day.”

Two other school programs, Mentor-Tutors for adult volunteers and Cross-Age Mentoring for high school volunteers, provide tutoring for elementary- age children. And Group Mentoring is a way to test the mentoring waters. People attend outings such as ball games, barbecues and other group activities with other adults and kids.

Currently, the program has more than 100 volunteers. But that’s not nearly enough to serve all children in need. I have one filing cabinet of mentors and two of mentees,” says Mendonca.

If a person can’t mentor but wants to support the program, donations are welcome. Despite its ties to the County, the program is primarily grant funded and raises money to pay for group activities.

For those with doubts, Mendonca highlights the benefits of mentoring. “Overall, it has a rippling effect when you help a child be the best he can be,” she says. “People ask if mentoring results in children going to school more, or if their grades improve. What I wish I could show people is the sparkle in a child’s eyes that I couldn’t see before.”

“I went into this for the kids, to give something back,” adds Jacob.

“But it has been so rewarding, enriching and deepening for me. I feel that I’m the one who’s been gifted.” •
