NORTHERN CALIFORNIA LIVING

DECEMBER 2016

YVONNE MAZZOTTA publisher

The hustle and bustle of the holidays are upon us – we encourage you to make time to truly enjoy the magic of the season. Pull out that sparkly reindeer cardigan and get your heart rate up at the Siskiyou YMCA Ugly Sweater Christmas Run, which also raises money to fund scholarships for various Y activities throughout the year. And while you’re up north, we’ve got some fun ideas for enjoying that snowy paradise even beyond the typical (but oh-so-fun!) skiing and snowboarding adventures. HALEY BYRD One way to embrace the Christmas spirit is to treat yourself to by Kara Stewart some quality time with the arts. The beautiful Cascade Theatre will once again host the heart-tugging “A Cascade Christmas,” followed by “A Celtic Christmas,” a deliberately low-tech production that promises a night full of old-fashioned entertainment. Or explore other types of art by checking out the Tehama Art Studio Tour, where you might even find your own creative inspiration by enjoying the artwork of others in their home studios. Need some tips for corralling the chaos in your home? Check out the plethora of tips provided by Redding’s Anna Moseley, whose “Ask Anna” blog about organization, cleaning and decorating is internationally recognized. Wouldn’t it be glorious to begin the year clutter-free? If you’re still working on your shopping list, check out Gifts for Good, where visitors can support local and global philanthropic efforts through purchases and donations. And of course, you can support local artisans by doing some shopping at Enjoy the Store, where we’ll help you select the perfect hand-crafted gift for everyone on your list, and wrap them up in our signature wooden crates. Celebrate this festive season with love, unity, generosity and compassion. Enjoy!

HOLIDAYS

| BY LAURA CHRISTMAN

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH’S GIFTS FOR GOOD THE GOODNESS at Gifts for Good in Redding flows many ways: Good deeds • Good gifts • Good times The free community event is 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 4 at First United Methodist Church. It’s an afternoon to learn about local and global efforts that help others, and to support them through purchases and donations. It’s also an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the Christmas season – make a wreath, listen to music, sip cider and have a volunteer stitch a funky, fuzzy hat just for you. Gifts for Good is the church’s gift to the community, says Peggy Rebol, director of ministry. It is intended to be an alternative to the season’s frenzied consumerism. The annual event is marking its 10th year. It began as The Alternative Christmas Faire, but the name created confusion. Some thought it was an alternative to Christmas itself.

“I was constantly having to explain to people what it was,” Rebol says. So the name changed to Gifts for Good – a straightforward description. People of Progress, One SAFE Place, Shasta Group of the Sierra Club, Genocide No More – Save Darfur, Heifer International, Imagine No Malaria, Southeast Asian Christian Ministries and other organizations participate. Representatives have booths to share information about their programs. Some groups sell coffee, calendars, chocolates or other items to raise money. Gift cards are available for any donations made as gifts in the names of friends and family members.4 continued on page 16

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Velvet Elephant Fair Trade Emporium of Mount Shasta will have a shop with clothing, jewelry, note cards and other handcrafted items. Fair trade means those making the goods are guaranteed a fair price. Money made helps families rise above poverty. Rebol says the annual event has raised $65,000 for organizations since its inception. Gifts for Good also raises awareness, notes Marv Steinberg of Genocide No More – Save Darfur. He enjoys being able to talk directly to people about the group’s work, such as soccer and preschool projects for displaced children. The mood of the event is upbeat and people are receptive, he says. “I think they are happy to have the opportunity to shop in that kind of setting and see that the money goes for good,” he says. Debbie Livingston of Southeast Asian Christian Ministries says Gifts for Good provides exposure for her organization’s work helping immigrants from some 25 counties. “I love the event,” she says. “On a personal level, I do a lot of Christmas shopping there. I love giving gifts that are also giving back to the community.” The “Human Bean” soup mix she gets from People of Progress has become a favorite gift in her family. “This is such a great event for everyone in the community,” says Beth Brower of One SAFE Place. “You can purchase unusual gift items from various organizations that either represent or help support many great projects and causes.

If you are looking for a good cause to send a donation to, this is the place.” Helping groups that help others is one part of the event. It is also about providing a time and place to enjoy the holiday season. Christmas is a wonderful time of year, so step back from the obligations and experience the joy, Rebol says. “Give yourself time. It feels like it makes the season more meaningful—and magical,” she says. Crafts are encouraged – for all ages. The choices typically include table decorations, ornaments and cards. Among the options will be a wreath-making station with lots of fresh greenery. Fleece beanies have become a signature item of Gifts for Good. Attendees select fabric and cut the pieces for volunteers, who stitch them together with sewing machines. Musical performances, light refreshments and a visit by Santa also are part of the event. Natasha Henneinke and her children, ages 4, 5 and 10, attended Gifts for Good last year for the first time. She helped sell cookies and cocoa for the church’s youth program. “Everyone was real joyous and in a generous mood,” she says. Her children stayed busy with the selection of activities. “Now that we’ve been there, we’re not going to miss it. It’s fantastic,” she says. •

“DO YOU SKI OR DO YOU SNOWBOARD?” is a common question during the winter season. Fortunately, the North State’s snowy landscapes not only offer these options, but a whole lot more. Shasta Mountain Guides offers an array of snow activities, including seminars and tours for backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering. Serendipity Day Tours will have you backcountry skiing or boarding on Mount Shasta. These guided tours are suited for all levels, and customers can create their own goals. The fee is $300 for one or two people and $125 per person for groups of three or more. The Introduction to Backcountry Skiing day tour is a good place to get familiar with the backcountry. The fee is also $300 for one or two people and $125 per person for groups of three or more.4 continued on page 22

The third venture is Beyond the Boundaries at the Mount Shasta Ski Park. This is for groups of two to eight people and is an introduction for resort riders to experience backcountry skiing and snowboarding. This activity offers a moderate introduction while teaching new skills. The fee is $129 per person. For those who don’t wish to be on a board or skis at all, Shasta Mountain Guides also offers guided summit climbs on Mt. Shasta (two to four days), glacier climbs and seminars, backpacking trips, day tours and classes. “Our permit covers the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and Mt. Shasta/Castle Crags Wilderness. We work in partnership to offer climbs and trips through the Pacific Northwest and internationally,” says Chris Carr, who has owned Shasta Mountain Guides with his wife, Jenn, since 2003. It has guided mountaineering, rock and ski trips since 1982, and was the first permitted guide service on Mt. Shasta. The organization’s goal “is to offer and lead the highest quality adventure trips and expeditions on Mt. Shasta. We want our guests to experience the challenge, rugged beauty and thrill of mountain travel with the opportunity to learn new skills,” Carr says.

Prefer to adventure on your own? Snowman’s Hill is a football field-sized slope just across the road from Mount Shasta Ski Park off of Highway 89. Mount Shasta Ski Park also offers a twist on the traditional idea of sledding: tubing, which is a fun alternative to go down the mountain. Tubing is open seven days a week from 9 am to 4 pm and Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 3 pm to 7 pm, under the lights. Cost is $15 for kids ages 5 to 12 and $20 for ages 13 and older for three hours. Each ticket includes a tube. The hill is 300 feet long with side-by-side lanes (lane length can change due to weather conditions). For an even cheaper thrill, try ice blocking – buy a block of ice and find a hill to slide down. • www.shastaguides.com • www.skipark.com

SING ALONG WITH US to this popular seasonal tune: “It’s the most overwhelming time of the year.” Wait… that’s not how it goes? Between decking the halls and entertaining guests and shopping/ wrapping/baking, it’s easy to feel like life is going to swallow you up. But with a little bit of planning and some handy tips from the pros, you can restore peace and order to your home. Just ask Redding’s Anna Moseley, the queen of organization. Her “Ask Anna Moseley” blog offers practical tips on cleaning, organizing and decorating. It gets about 1 million hits from around the world per month, and she has an array of national sponsors. She developed the blog as her friends asked her numerous questions about how she maintained her own picture-perfect home (recently featured on the American Association of University Women home tour).

“I feel like everything else in my life is chaotic when my house is chaotic,” says Moseley, the wife of banker Matt Moseley. As the mother of busy and creative 7- and 19-year-old daughters, she fully understands how life’s quick pace can create a level of disorganization that is difficult to untangle. “People feel overwhelmed by the idea of organization. They just don’t know where to start,” Moseley says. Her advice? “Just start somewhere,” she says. “If you look at everything, it can overwhelm you.” Moseley recommends tackling the kitchen first. “It’s the heart of the home,” she says. “That’s the one place I will never let be dirty. If my kitchen is dirty, I feel like the rest of the house is messy and dirty.” A good second stop is the living room, followed by bathrooms and the linen closet. Her favorite tools of the trade are baskets, silverware trays and her label maker.4 continued on page 28

“I have cute baskets everywhere – everything isn’t necessarily organized inside the basket, but it’s easy to group things together. I use them to store cloth napkins, remotes, photo albums. In the pantry, I use them for food. In my closet, I have baskets for hats and swimming suits.” And silverware trays aren’t just for the kitchen – especially the square bamboo type. “I use them in my daughter’s bathroom for her toothbrush, hair ties, glasses and hairbrush,” she says. “I use them in my bathroom to hold makeup, lip gloss, tweezers and things like that.” They can also organize the space under the sink. She uses her label maker for boxes, drawers and shelves so everyone knows where everything goes. Even the Moseleys’ 7-year-old daughter knows where everything belongs in her room, so she can fulfill her responsibilities of cleaning up her own toys and hanging up her clothes. Yes, you’ll eventually have to tackle those piles of paperwork in the office, and Moseley has dedicated multiple blog entries to organizing bills and paperwork efficiently. Her strategy is to use her label maker and rainbow colored hanging file folders, with one color for bills, one for taxes, one for insurance, one for personal files, and so on. She files bills in two-month increments ( January-February in one folder, March-April in the next, etc.), and empties each folder and shreds the contents as those months come around the next year. “I used to file them by brand, and it was so much paperwork – we were keeping three years’ worth of bills, and you don’t need to do that.” Her series of 30-minute project instructions guides readers through bite-sized tasks that, over time, reap big rewards.

What should you know for the 2016 – 2017 Influenza Season

It is impossible to predict what this flu season will be like. Flu season is unpredictable, constantly changing and can vary from season to season, but it most commonly peaks between December and February. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. There are many different flu viruses. The seasonal flu vaccine is designed to protect against the main flu viruses that research suggests will cause the most illness during the upcoming flu season. The CDC recommends to become vaccinated soon after the vaccine becomes available, preferably by October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against flu viruses. If you receive the vaccine, you are 60% less likely to need treatment for the flu. It has been shown that vaccination offers substantial additional benefits including reducing illness, unnecessary antibiotic use, time lost from work, hospitalization, or even death. American Indian and Alaskan Natives and people with serious medical conditions are at high risk. Not everyone with the flu will have a fever. You can be sick and contagious without running a temperature. Pneumonia and

flu are the leading cause of death among Native elders. If you are 65 years of age or older check with your primary care provider about receiving the pneumonia vaccine. There are additional steps you can take to keep yourself and your family healthy this influenza season. Wash your hands often with soap and water, avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth and cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing as this is a common pathway for germs to spread. Try to avoid contact with people who have flu like symptoms. Flu signs and symptoms are usually limited to: fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Life is a delicate balance. If you are sick with influenza like symptoms and have a fever, stay home for at least 24 hours or until your fever is gone. If you have a fever, you should wait until your fever is gone before getting a flu shot. However, you can get a flu shot if you have a respiratory illness without a fever, or if you have another mild illness. The nasal spray flu vaccine can be given to people with minor illnesses. If you are not better in 24 hours contact your primary health care provider.

organizing paper clutter, your purse, the master bedroom closet, important personal documents, a kitchen without a pantry – even your health. “Everybody has 30 minutes,” she says. “It’s about choosing your priorities – commit 30 minutes to organization instead of being on Facebook. If you can take a little bit of time here and there, it helps everything function better and it saves you time in the long run.” Those 30 minutes needs to be 100 percent focused. “Put your cell phone aside, turn off all the noises around you that easily distract you,” she says. Even in the heart of the holiday season, there’s plenty you can do now. “Your house is full of Christmas decorations and presents and family visiting,” she says. “Every time you’re in a space and think ‘I should do that,’ write it down. Keep that ongoing list next to your calendar or as a note on your phone so you remember it when January comes.” • www.askannamoseley.com • Find her on Facebook

finding fresh M A N DA R I N S A N D M O R E AT M O R S E FA R M S A TOUR OF MORSE FARMS in Oroville shows not only the inner workings of a small family farm, but the result of the owners’ dream of an ideal retirement set-up. “We’re big planners,” says Glennda Morse of the farm she and husband John developed. “It’s what our jobs were, essentially.” Having raised their children and built careers at Chico State University and the Department of Water Resources in Chico, the couple began an early search for retirement property on which to build a farm. In 1998, they bought five acres in the Oroville foothills, which John described as “a bare piece of ground except for the poison oak.” Today, thanks to the efforts of their family and friends, and expert advice from the University of California at Davis extension agents, that bare piece of ground is lush with 400 Satsuma mandarin trees in the front, and 250 fruit trees and bushes that range from raspberries to apples to lemons, limes and pomegranates behind their custom-built home and shop.

Satsuma harvest is in full gear at the moment and the couple is feeling decidedly not retired, filling shipping orders to send the fresh fruit across the country and bagging up product to sell at their retail stand on the property. “It’s a small operation, but it’s busy during the season,” says John, noting that the couple will work long hours harvesting, prepping, shipping and selling. “We do everything from start to finish,” says Glennda. With the harvest beginning about a week before Thanksgiving and continuing to the first of January, Morse Farms is poised to be part of winter holiday festivities, whether their products are consumed at seasonal gatherings or given as gifts. Their product line extends beyond fresh mandarins to include a signature mandarin barbecue sauce, syrup and seasoning rubs created at a co-packing facility using their recipes and fruits. Glennda produces a wide range of jams and jellies, as well as a secret recipe Holiday Sauce in an on-site certified cottage kitchen. John creates apple butters, which are also popular.4 continued on page 32

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

While the syrup, barbecue sauce and seasonings are all available at outlets throughout the region, including Enjoy the Store, all cottage kitchen products are available only at the farm stand or festivals by direct sale. Their popularity means that the stand gets busy. “That lasts about two days here,” Glennda says of her Holiday Sauce. “I’ve always made jams and jellies,” she adds, noting that she picked up the skill from her mom and grandma. The couple laugh that she’s been able to turn people around who previously didn’t like marmalade, because she uses a precise ratio of fruit, juice and rind to create a product that isn’t bitter. “She stirs it just right, won’t even let me talk to her,” John says of his wife’s process.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net DECEMBER 2016

A few years ago she came up with a gingermarmalade blend at the suggestion of a festival-goer from Iraq who enjoys the more exotic taste. The flavor profile has become popular. “All of the homemade jams and jellies will be off the shelves by the end of the season,” says Glennda. “We open about two weeks later than most mandarin farms because we’re so particular about our sweetness,” says John. Emphasizing just how much of a family farm they are, he adds, “The majority of our pickers are our adult children who come home on weekends and know how to pick by color.” Each tree may be picked up to 15 times, so only ripe fruit is taken at any given time. To extend its viability, each piece is hand rubbed with a white cloth rather than brushed or cleaned in a bulk process. Jumping in to help are many of the couple’s friends, as well. “A lot of our retired friends really like working here,” says John. “People like that we’re here.” Of the many customers who come in each year, they hold a soft spot for a group of women that arrive with a list of names and addresses and then set about to build baskets to be shipped off as Christmas gifts. “Then they head down to Feather Falls Casino for lunch and a beer,” Glennda says with a laugh.

The majority of our pickers are our adult children who come home on weekends and know how to pick by color. They just may end up ordering even more Morse Farms product down at Feather Falls, where brewmaster Roland Allen has combined Morse Farms Satsuma juice into Emperor Wheat, a mandarin beer named by Glennda. “That’s been a real good combination,” says John. The Morse Farms website boasts 26 pages of recipes using their fruit and products. Whether it’s with fresh fruit or one of their many preserves, Glennda says, “It’s nice to know we’re on a lot of people’s Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.” • Morse Farms • 8 Feathervale Drive, Oroville www.morsemandarinfarms.com Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red Bluff.

C E L E B R AT I N G C U LT U R A L H O L I DAY S CHRISTMAS

IN THIS CULTURALLY diverse melting pot that is the United States, the warmth of the holiday season radiates from an array of celebrations that, although different in their structure, rituals and history, are connected through the common thread of love, faith, family and goodwill. Take a journey with us as we get to know a few of the cultural traditions celebrated in America during the month of December.

Christians worldwide acknowledge this day, Dec. 25, as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The religious holiday includes the tradition of gift giving, symbolizing the gifts brought by the Three Wise Men to Baby Jesus in the manger. The manger scene is still central to many Christmas celebrations throughout the world. Over the years, many worldwide traditions have combined to bring about Christmas as we know it here in the United States, with beautifully decorated Christmas trees, stockings “hung by the chimney with care,” sipping eggnog by the fire, caroling, charitable donations to those in need, Santa Claus, warm wishes sent to friends and family through greeting cards, the baking of cookies and pies, and quality time spent with loved ones.

EID MILAD UN NABI This holiday, whose name means “birth of a prophet” in Arabic, is celebrated in some Muslim communities worldwide, commemorating the birthday of the prophet Muhammad. This year’s celebration takes place Dec. 12, although dates vary from year to year. During Eid Milad Un Nabi, some Muslims fast as a way to honor their faith. Celebrants gather for night-long prayer, listen to stories and poetry about the deeds and teachings of Muhammad and enjoy communal meals together. Participation in the communal meals is often extended to non-Muslims as a way to promote understanding of the Islamic faith for those who are not Muslim, while warmly welcoming friends and neighbors to the birthday celebration. Homes and mosques are festively decorated, birthday cake may be served and the streets are filled with people parading in jubilation. Eid Milad Un Nabi is also known as a time of charitable works to those in need.4 continued on page 36

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

HANUKKAH Hanukkah, Hebrew for “dedication,” is often referred to as the Festival of Lights. This year’s celebration takes place from sundown Dec. 24 through sundown Jan. 1. The eight-day Jewish celebration represents the miracle that took place during the rededication of the Jewish Temple. According to the Jewish faith, there was only enough oil to light the lamp for a single day, but miraculously, it managed to remain lit for eight days. The menorah, the candelabra that has nine candles – one which lights the other eight – is often prominently displayed in the window to honor the miracle. One candle is lit each night after sundown as blessings are recited. The tradition includes sharing foods fried in olive oil and baked goods, potato latkes and sufganiyot (jam-filled doughnuts) among the most popular. One gift is given to each member of the family for every night of the celebration. Children often enjoy the gift of chocolate coins called “gelt.” Dreidel, a gambling game that was a secret way of acknowledging the miracle of Hanukkah during a time of oppression, is still common in some celebrations.

K WA N Z A A This African-American spiritual holiday, Swahili for “first fruits,” was developed in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga as a way to honor the African culture which serves to build and reinforce the African-American community. The non-religious celebration takes place from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1. The seven principles upon which the concept was built, collectively known as Nguzo Saba, are Unity (Umoja), Self-Determination (Kujichagulia), Collective Work and Responsibility (Ujima), Cooperative Economics (Ujamaa), Purpose (Nia), Creativity (Kuumba) and Faith (Imani). The celebration lasts seven nights, with celebrants lighting one candle per night on the Kinara, the seven-pronged candelabra. Each lit candle honors a different principle and that night’s discussion centers on it. Kwanzaa includes story-telling, poetry-reading and a large traditional meal. Gift exchanging isn’t customary, but if gifts are exchanged, they are traditionally handmade. Children are a big part of the celebration, and are often the ones learning and reciting the principles, showcasing the importance of providing a solid foundation for young people. Black, red and green are the primary colors associated with Kwanzaa - the black representative of the people, the red acknowledging their struggle and the green symbolizing hope for the future.

L A S P O S A DA S A Mexican tradition that means “The Inns” or “The Lodgings” symbolizes the journey of Mary and Joseph to the manger on the night Jesus was born. The nine-day celebration begins Dec. 16 and culminates on Christmas Eve, also referred to as “Buena Noche” or Holy Night. Celebrants travel from house to house until they reach the home where Las Posadas will be celebrated. Children participate in pageants, in which they dress as Mary, Joseph or the Three Wise Men. Songs and prayers open up the celebration, as Mary and Joseph are finally acknowledged, opening up the way for a jubilee complete with Christmas music, dancing, piñata bashing, sweet edibles and, sometimes, fireworks. Variations on the tradition are celebrated in the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Central America. In northern Mexico, and particularly in Mexican-American communities in the southwestern United States, festivities may include a visit from Santa Claus, a gift exchange and a Christmas tree. •

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:

MOST WELL-ROUNDED BARS HAVE ONE ON TAP, and sometimes even a second, more exotic pear varietal. Ciders aren’t exactly a bar’s staple draught, and they might be more a concession to people who don’t really enjoy beer but also don’t want to be caught without a pint in hand. And while ciders probably will never be as common as craft beer, that isn’t stopping Eureka’s Humboldt Cider Company from breaking stereotypes by brewing clever and crafty cider concoctions. Even for Darren Cartledge, who founded Humboldt Cider Company with his wife Michelle, cider was an acquired taste. Not a fan of the overly sweet ciders found regularly on tap, he then discovered English ciders, “and that they’re not really as sweet with the fake flavoring.” In 2012, Cartledge opened Eureka’s The Local Beer Bar, but he says he had actually preferred to start a cider company first. “But I didn’t know what I was doing. I was making pretty terrible ciders,” he says with a laugh. Enter Jamie Ashdon, Cartledge’s friend and third co-founder of Humboldt Cider Company. “I’ve been friends with Jamie for a quite a while,” explains Cartledge, “and he owns a home brew store, so he has a fair amount of experience with fermentation.” After pairing with Ashdon, Cartledge then attended classes in Portland and Washington under the instruction of renowned cider-maker Peter Mitchell. “And that’s pretty much how it got started,” he says. “We bought some fermenters and met a lady out at Redwood Acres, and took their old barn, cleaned it up and sanitized it, and started making cider.” Cider is often perceived as a one-trick pony, a sweet, fermented apple wine. But as third-wave coffee was to Folgers, and craft brews were to Budweiser, Humboldt Cider Company is to fermented apple drinks. “It’s a huge stereotype that we’ve had some horrible ciders out there for a long time,” says Cartledge. “Mass-marketed ones are generally sweeter, and usually on tap wherever you go.” But at Humboldt Cider Company, says Cartledge, “we’ve done, I actually have no idea now, maybe 35 or so.” As fermented fruit, cider technically falls under the wine category, but the apple-based beverage can be brewed as a single4 continued on page 40

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

varietal or infused with other flavors and fruits, bringing out various notes and flavors that are washed out in overly processed ciders. The brewers at Humboldt Cider Company began fermenting with different single varieties such as Jonathan and Macintosh apples, then “started playing around with different flavors and seeing what people like,” says Cartledge. “We started playing with whatever ingredients were available, like kiwis, pineapple,” says Cartledge. “We are also next to Slice of Humboldt Pie, and they have their commercial kitchen next door, so we’d buy pineapples and they’d cook some down for us for our cider.” Other than single varieties, Humboldt Cider Company has blended ciders with ingredients such as honey, cherry, hibiscus, even berries. They’ve also created ciders that are brewed with more traditional ingredients found in craft beers. “Our dry hop cider is one of my favorites, and a customer favorite,” Cartledge says, adding that the drink is a good bridge for customers more familiar with and fond of craft beer and IPAs. They also offer unique ciders like the Coombachambre, a single varietal Jonathan that is matured for nine months in tequila American oak barrels, and the You Old Sailor You, another Jonathan varietal aged nine months in rum French oak barrels. With 10 ciders on tap, the best way to discover the nuances in Humboldt Cider Company’s ciders is to visit the tasting room and try them for yourself. The tasting room is family friendly, offering various sizes and flights, and open Friday through Sunday. But if you really want to dive into the nuances of locally made cider, you’ll have to find them on tap or purchase a growler from the tasting room. As far as selling retail goes, “we’re not quite there yet,” says Cartledge. “We’re still pretty small as it goes.” Small maybe, but also making a big impact on the craft cider scene. • Humboldt Cider Company Tasting Room 3750 Harris St., Eureka • (707) 798-6023 Friday 5-9pm, Saturday noon-9pm, Sunday noon-8pm www.humboldtcidercompany.com

Creative Spaces GOOD TIMES

| BY MELISSA MENDONCA

T E H A M A A RT S T U D I O TO U R

THE POPULARITY OF HOME TOURS, magazines and TV shows has proven that we have a deep desire to witness the spaces in which others live. For those of us seeking creative inspiration, a tour of art studios offers something even deeper. “People can see how artists operate,” says Vicki Allwardt, organizer of the second annual Open Studio Tehama County. “They can ask questions.” This year’s studio art tour encompasses two weekends – December 3-4 and 10-11 – and welcomes the public to the studios of more than eight Tehama County artists free of charge. “You can go to one or you can go to all,” adds Allwardt. “And you can come back.” Vicki and her husband Dennis, also an artist, will open the doors to their home studio created through renovation of their garage. Vicki is an award-winning folk artist certified through the National Society of Decorative Artists, and has taught across the country. “I do mostly functional art, mostly in watercolor and acrylic,” she says. “But I prefer to work on things that are functional.” Just about everything is game for her to paint, from sundials to tea sets. Husband Dennis works in acrylics on canvas and does mixed-media art featuring affirmations. The couple have been in their home for 47 of their 50 married years.

Also on tour will be Jay Murphy of Sculptural Eccentrics and Western artist Jamie Means, both of whom have renown in their respective mediums. Murphy’s entire house is a gallery, showcasing not only his own art, but pieces he has lovingly collected. His downstairs studio offers a delightful insight into his process of creating aptly named eccentric sculptures. A drive to Means’ studio will require some backroads navigation but will pay off in a close-up look at works that have been exhibited and sold through the C.M. Russel Museum Auction and prestigious art auctions in Santa Fe and Scottsdale. A cheery orange door welcomes visitors to the home studio of Frances Gonzales Becker in the Surrey Village neighborhood of Red Bluff. “It used to be my family room,” she says. “I took out the couches and the TV. I grew out of my kitchen table and needed a place to call my studio.” Becker is eclectic in her subject matter as well as her mediums. “I change,” she says. “I’ve done different mediums, but right now I’m really into oils. I love the feel, the texture, how they spread. It’s like spreading butter on bread.” If she finds herself in need of inspiration for a painting, she goes out to cut glass for mosaic pieces, which gets her creative juices flowing again.4 continued on page 46

Right around the corner from Becker is Patty Tompkins, a weaver and spinner who has also converted her living room into a studio. Hers, however, holds six looms of various sizes and five spinning wheels. “About 45 years ago I read an article about handwoven rugs,” she says. “Six months after I got married, my husband bought me a loom.” He may not have realized the interest would take over the front of his house. Eventually he built her a Navajo loom, which is vertical. “I’ve always been enamored of their weaving,” she says of Navajo artists. Tompkins makes rugs, yarn, dish towels and scarves and teaches both spinning and weaving. She also participates in annual events to promote spinning and weaving, such as the week-long spinathon known as Spinzilla and the Sheep to Shawl competition at the Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene, Oregon. At the latter event, a weaver and five spinners compete to card raw wool, spin and weave it into a shawl in a set period of time. While most of the studios are in Red Bluff, a few, including Blynne Froke’s, can be found elsewhere in Tehama County. A short drive to Los Molinos will bring you to the retired English teacher’s studio and her interpretation of the birds she sees on her weekend runs and hikes in nearby hills. In 2012, she was the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail and blogged her adventures through the Alaskan wilderness to students around the world as she traveled by bush plane on the race trail.

Other artists on tour will be potters Yellie Lawrence and Noni DeFour, jeweler Priscilla Aragon and metal sculptor Bill Randberg. Bruce Ross will also open the studio where he creates wood and ceramic bowls. “The purpose to give people an idea of the diversity of art in Tehama County,” says Dennis Allwardt. With a warm smile, his wife Vicki adds, “It’s really pleasant because everyone agreed that we’d all get our places all cleaned up.” • Open Studio Tehama County December 3-4, 10-11 Find them on Facebook Maps and directions available at Red Bluff’s Enjoy the Store, Dale’s Carpet, the Green Room and the Tehama Country Visitor Center

BEAUTY TRENDS

GlamourEyes T H E E Y E S H AV E I T T H I S H O L I D AY S E A S O N WE BLINKED and the holidays are once again upon us. It’s time for that annual panic, “How should I do my makeup for the company party?!” Raise your hand if you’ve been here before: You stand in front of the mirror, liner in hand, ready to make your eyes look as dazzling as possible. You use a light touch and a steady hand; however, when you stand back to survey the effect, it’s not at all what you envisioned. Your eyes actually look smaller—not at all dazzling. Good news. If you shift those very same lines a few millimeters,

you’ll create the illusion of big, open eyes without a trace of any obvious makeup. It’s just a matter of nestling the eyeliner pencil between the roots of your lashes as well as carefully tracing it along your upper waterline (the rim where your eyelid meets your eye). Makeup artists call this tightliner, or invisible eyeliner. With a bit of practice and the right pencil (mechanical, not wood), it’s almost impossible to screw up.4 continued on page 52

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

THE TECHNIQUE 1. Prep your liner and lids. To minimize germs, quickly dip the tip of your blackest waterproof liner in rubbing alcohol. Dust the base of your lashes with translucent powder. 2. Line your top waterline. Raise your chin and place your nondominant index finger above the corner of your eye, lifting upward. Then, holding the pencil vertically in your other hand, trace back and forth under your lashes. Go over it a few times, but stop before you reach the inner corners to prevent eyes from looking beady. 3. Now darken the roots of your top lashes. Gently pull your top lid taut by pressing one finger on the outer corner. Bury the tip of the pencil deep into your lashes at the outer corner of your eye, wiggling it back and forth as you move inward. Take your time, and don’t be afraid to really mash the tip into your lashes. 4. Accentuate your bottom lashes. Holding the pencil just below your inner rim—but not at the waterline—lightly dash the pencil right at the base of your lashes. 5. Clean it up. Run a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover along your top and bottom lids to erase any mess. 6. Curl your lashes. It will solidify the wide-eyed effect you’re going for. Then swipe on some black volumizing mascara, top and bottom. TRICKS OF THE TRADE • Lining your waterline might not bother you at all, or it might tickle a bit. But it should never hurt or burn. If it does, try a hypoallergenic formula. If all the fussing with your eyes leaves them a little pink, try anti-redness eye drops 15 minutes before applying. • Black is classic, but consider other shades. A slate gray creates a softer effect and draws attention to green or blue eyes, while navy makes brown eyes stand out. • Always apply shadow after you’ve finished lining. Otherwise, when you clean up your work, you’ll end up taking off some of the shadow with it. • If you opt for a traditional wood pencil, warm it up with your fingers so it glides on more smoothly.

THE TOOL KIT A waterproof formula is mandatory. Once you’ve checked that box, choosing the right version depends on your priority. For the easiest application, choose a soft-tipped, self-sharpening pencil. For pencil-shy beginners, chubby crayon liners are perfect training wheels if sticking a pointy object in your eye seems daunting. The fat tip makes it easier to cover your waterline and get into your lashes. For intense color at the roots, go for a creamy gel liner in a pot. This creates the richest, inkiest color—the best option if you want dense-looking lashes. Apply with a small, angled or squared-off brush, but stick to a pencil for the waterline—cream liner adheres best to dry skin. And for the longestlasting results, go with a wet-to-dry powder in a cake formula, which produce strong color that won’t budge once it dries. Be prepared to use a tiny pointy brush and a lot of patience: Color needs to be painted carefully along the base of your lashes, not just smooshed there. Other behind-the-scenes helps include: Pointy cotton swabs, a flat, natural bristle brush, eyelash curler, oil-free makeup remover and plenty of mascara. You can layer on sooty shadow if you want a smoky eye, but that will just undermine the subtle precision of all your hard work. Instead, try a silky shadow in a fleshy, neutral tone to even out the color of your eyelid and give your liner more staying power. Time to face that holiday party with panache and aplomb. So get that no-fail LBD out of the closet, put on your go-to heels, a pair of sparkly earrings and a swipe of bright red lipstick, and off you go! One more party checked off the list until next year…•

Tales of

Holiday Lore A C E LT I C C H R I S T M A S R E T U R N S TO T H E C A S C A D E SEVERAL DECADES BACK, when Tomaseen Foley was but a wee lad growing up in a remote parish in the west of Ireland, the excitement of Christmas had more to do with the exchange of songs and stories than it did the exchange of gifts. That remains the essence of Christmas for Foley, who is bringing his “A Celtic Christmas” back to the Cascade Theatre on Wednesday, Dec. 21. It’s a deliberately low-tech production that relies on the stalwarts of Irish culture—music, song, dance and a bit of blarney—for a night of old-fashioned entertainment. Foley, who now resides in Talent, Ore., strives to “re-create a night in a farmhouse in the west of Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s. At that time, neighbors gathered at each other’s houses and it was very casual and informal and they would bring their instruments. It’d be a night of dancing, storytelling and music. I would love those nights growing up.”

Foley likes the simple format and has stuck with it for 20 years as he tours “A Celtic Christmas” around the country each December. What keeps it fresh are the personnel changes and, of course, the stories. Foley relies on a nucleus of cast members, led by William Coulter, a Grammy-winning Celtic guitarist, dancer and music director. Brian Bigley, the master of the Uilleann pipes, flute and whistle, has been a regular for seven years—“he was just a kid when he started and now he’s married with a family. He’s also a step dancer who competes at the highest levels,” Foley says—and Marcus Donnelly, a dancer, has been part of the holiday show for nine years. “Having a core of people who know the show in their bones means we can bring in new people who bring in new energies. I try to build the show around the people I’ve got. Each person brings their own sense of energies and talents to the evening and I try and draw those out,” Foley says.4

DSIDE A O R

Curiosity A LO C O M OT I V E I N A S T R A N G E LO C AT I O N DRIVING NORTH OUT OF REDDING on Interstate 5, just before the Fawndale exit and on the eastern side of the freeway, travelers and commuters alike encounter a massive hulk of equipment, immediately recognizable as a vintage railroad steam locomotive. With an RV park in the background and no visible railroad tracks apparent, nor any potential train activity anywhere near this location, questions begin to form. Why is it there? Is this someone’s idea of an ultimate example of “yard art”? Owned by Redding’s Shasta Cascade Rail Preservation Society, a local group of volunteer railroad enthusiasts dedicated to the restoration, preservation, maintenance, display and operation of historical railroad equipment, the locomotive is named the Sacramento Valley and Eastern Engine Number Two (SV&E #2).

Built during 1907 and delivered to the Bully Hill Mine and smelter for the Sacramento Valley and Eastern Railway in January 1908 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, this Baldwin 2-6-2T locomotive has a 26-foot, six-inch body, which sits atop a 10-foot drive-wheel base and weighs in at 136,000 pounds. It hauled copper ore 13 miles from mines around the Iron Mountain area to the Bully Hill smelter at the Pit River Arm of Lake Shasta until the early 1920s, when mining activities were curtailed by federal government regulations due to pollution, which devastated the local agricultural industry. By the early 1930s, smelter activities and ore mining had all but disappeared from the area as a result of the economic disaster of The Great Depression.4 continued on page 60

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

Considering the many years this locomotive languished in storage, at a scrap yard, and in the heat, it is surprising how intact it has remained.

By 1937, the SV&E #2 was placed into storage in an engine house. There it languished until 1942, when it was sent to the dealership of Hyman-Michaels Company, which transported it to General Engineering Corp. in Nevada. In 1947, it was sent to M. Davidson Company in Stockton as scrap. With several scrapped engines in stock, some restoration began. During the early 1970s, the locomotive was acquired by the Wasatch Mountain Railway in Heber, Utah, and placed on display at the Heber Valley Railroad Museum. In 1994, it was placed on display at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, where it remained until its current owner, Reddingâ€™s Shasta Cascade Rail Preservation Society, purchased it in 2002 for $23,200. It remained in the Nevada desert until sufficient funds were raised through grants, fundraising events and donations to transport it to its current location. In the spring of 2006, the locomotive was loaded on a 60-tire big rig truck and trailer and towed at 40 mph, often

www.EnjoyMagazine.net DECEMBER 2016

wandering along back roads from Nevada to Northern California. Rails and wooden ties, laid in place to accept the locomotive, were readied and the engine was crane-lifted onto its current platform. The owners of the Fawndale Oaks RV Park offered to house this locomotive until the Society can prepare a five-and-a-half-acre parcel off of Highway 273 in South Redding to exhibit it and other pieces of railroad history that they have in their inventory of rolling stock. With an estimated $63,000 cost for full restoration, the Society is working to obtain funding. However, work has been recently completed, removing old paint, rust and years of grime and other preparations for giving this beauty a new paint job. Yes, there is yet one more move planned for this locomotive in the future. â€˘

lure S H A S TA TAC K L E C O . O W N E R G A R Y M I R A L L E S BEING THRIFTY IS ONE OF THE TENETS of the Boy Scout Law, proudly listed alongside trustworthy, loyal and the rest, and it was a trait that Gary Miralles took to heart during his time as a Scout. As an avid—but underfunded—angler, he came by his penny-pinching ways honestly. Miralles was particularly fond of the Super Duper, a popular lure made by Rapala that enjoyed a lot of success on Shasta Lake. “The Super Duper was one of my favorites but I couldn’t afford to buy ‘em, so I decided to make one similar, but better, and I came up with the Cripplure,” Miralles says. “I tested it in the bathtub, took it to the lake and caught a limit from the shore.” He was 16 years old at the time. In addition to being thrifty, Miralles was also resourceful. He fashioned his lure from the metal band on his official Boy Scouts belt that was intended to hold a clip for keys. “That buckle on the belt was perfect for making lures. I’d go to Thompson’s and buy ’em all up. It got to where they would order them in bulk for me,” he says, referring to the former men’s clothing store in downtown Redding.

The Super Duper is a thin, uneven, U-shaped strip of metal that creates a wiggling motion when pulled through water. Miralles was trying to come up with a similar action and discovered that by making the U-shape even and closing it into a loop, he was able to give his Cripplure more roll. He also learned his fledgling design vibrates, a bonus action that helps attract rainbow trout and kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) who sense the movement with their lateral lines. “It sends a signal that something is there,” Miralles says. Miralles began making Cripplures, giving them away to friends and selling a few on the side. But not everybody was sold on his invention. Catching the most trout “was kind of a challenge to the neighborhood kids who fished. One of my friends had a cabin at Shasta Lake and we’d all go up. Guys were always trying to outfish me, and they’d buy the latest and greatest thing, but there was not one day when they would outfish me.”4 continued on page 64

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

After graduating from Shasta High and Shasta College, fishing took a back seat when Miralles moved to Oregon and later to Porterville (deep in the San Joaquin Valley north of Bakersfield), where he began a career with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. He returned to the North State in 1988 and helped Cal Fire open the Sugar Pine Conservation Camp. That’s also when he decided to put the Cripplure on the market and started Shasta Tackle Co. “I thought Shasta Tackle was a good name, but mostly it was so I could write off my boat and fishing trips,” says Miralles, who left Cal Fire and began working as a fishing guide. Sales were slow but steady, thanks in part to Bob Braz, owner of The Fishen Hole in the city of Shasta Lake, who was the first proprietor to stock Miralles’ lures. Business picked up when Miralles befriended the late John Reginato, director of the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association, Reginato, the legendary tourism promoter, asked Miralles if he’d like to take a couple of outdoors writers fishing and Miralles was happy to oblige. One of the clients was Pete Ottesen, a longtime writer with the Stockton Record, and the trip to Whiskeytown Lake was a success with both writers catching limits of kokanee using the Cripplure. Ottesen returned to his desk and cranked out the story of an amazing lure, designed by a kid, that had been a well-kept secret for 19 years. In its first five years, Miralles said Shasta Tackle had sold about 18,000 Cripplures. After Ottesen’s story made the rounds, the Cripplure’s sales total jumped up to 68,000. “Everybody had to have it, and from there, things just took off,” Miralles recalls. Other writers came calling and TV and radio shows soon followed. Miralles began attending outdoor writer conferences in California, Oregon and Washington “and I ended up producing better than the local guides when I went up and fished.” Miralles was featured on former Redding resident Justin Wolf ’s “Angler West” TV series and he continued to gain exposure. “I realized it was a fantastic way to build my company without paying a fortune for advertising,” he says.

www.EnjoyMagazine.net DECEMBER 2016

By the late 1990s, Shasta Tackle was a going concern with its line of lures, blades and flashers finding its way into big-box stores. To help meet the growing demand, Miralles turned to the Shasta County Opportunity Center for assembling and packaging. The center provides job-training for people with disabilities. “If we had not had them, we would have had to outsource and go overseas like everybody else, but we stayed in Redding and we stayed competitive,” Miralles says. Opportunity Center clients continue to assemble and package Shasta Tackle products. In addition to the many versions of the Cripplure, Miralles came up with the Hum Dinger, a vibrating lure, and the Koke-a-Nut, a kokanee squid bait or “bug.” A longtime trolling aficionado, Miralles also designed the popular Sling Blade dodger, a large blade that’s rigged in front of a lure or bug; it attracts fish with its undulating motion and flashy appearance. Shasta Tackle’s Sling Blade, in tandem with Miralles’ Pee Wee Wiggle Hoochie (tequila sunrise pattern), allowed Ron Campbell to land an Oregon state record kokanee (9 lb. 10 oz.) in Wallowa Lake in 2010. Miralles still regards that catch as his greatest achievement. The company’s success had long caught the attention of competitors and, earlier this year, Miralles agreed to join forces with Wenatchee, Wash.-based Mack’s Lure. Miralles says the merger strengthens his 28-year-old business with a strategic partner and frees him to focus on research and development. That research now includes catching fish in the Gulf of Mexico, since Miralles recently moved to Rockport, Texas, to be closer to his daughter and his wife Dianne’s family. Miralles, who returns to Redding frequently, has already discovered the Cripplure is pretty effective on redfish, a reef-dwelling snapper that frequents the gulf waters. • www.mackslure.com

golden rules WE LIVE BY… SUPPORT FOR GENERATIONS

“ Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.” — The Conductor (Tom Hanks) Polar Express

The Smith family carefully inspects each ornament on the Golden Umbrella’s Adopt a Senior tree until they hit the jackpot – a man named James. They remove the ornament and chatter excitedly about what they will buy this man, who’s technically a stranger, but is so much more in their hearts. That’s the name of the children’s grandfather, who passed away several years ago, and they purchase gifts for a needy senior in his name (literally) every year. The Adopt a Senior Program was founded 11 years ago to provide gifts to local seniors who wouldn’t otherwise receive one during the holidays. Last year, our community’s overwhelming generosity treated more than 800 seniors to warm blankets and gift cards. Seniors are referred to the program through an application process. “These are low-income seniors with little or no family contact, so they won’t have Christmas without this program,” says Tina Brown, Senior Corps Program Director for Golden Umbrella. “It’s wonderful to see how much this means to them.” Though the gifts are simple, they mean the world to the recipients. “You made my Christmas better and put a smile on my face,” Millie wrote in a thank-you note. “What a wonderful Christmas and a surprise to receive gifts,” Selma noted. “I want you to know how appreciative I am to have received the warm and fuzzy throw. What a kind and useful gift on these cold days,” added Betty.

This year, under the theme “Comfort and Joy,” seniors will receive cozy robes, slippers, pajamas, blankets – “anything that will keep a senior warm for the holidays,” says Brown. Gift cards are also greatly appreciated. “These seniors have very little, and to be able to go to Walmart and spend $25 on whatever they want is huge,” Brown says, sharing one thank-you note from last year that said, “Many thanks for the gift card; it made this 92-year-old woman’s day.” It’s easy to warm a lonely senior’s heart this holiday season – just select an ornament from one of the Adopt a Senior trees, which can be found at all Owens Healthcare pharmacies, the Mt. Shasta Mall and Shopko. Do your shopping and return your purchases in a festive gift bag, and the Golden Umbrella’s elves will do the rest. Don’t have time for shopping? Monetary donations are gratefully accepted. If you’d like to deliver some gifts, join us! “Parents who want to teach their kids about giving back will come and help with the delivery of the packages – it’s wonderful,” Brown says. You might discover that the one who receives the greatest gift is you. “I want to thank you for your complete generosity and compassion,” says Jennifer, who received a gift from Adopt a Senior last year. “It brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart. Thank you for being there for me.”

A few of our favorite things Michelle: For someone that loves Christmas music as much as I do, that’s a really tough decision! I love “O Holy Night” because its so beautiful and what Christmas is all about for me. But I also love watching my 10-year-old daughter do her dance moves to Wham’s “Last Christmas.”

We start working on the December issue in late October and that’s when our office starts cranking up the Christmas music. You can often find us singing (or dancing) to our favorites. Do you have a favorite Christmas Song? Post on social media and tag us.

Yvonne: “Charlie Brown Christmas Dance” from a Charlie Brown Christmas. It really gets you up and on your toes. Ronda: “Do You Hear What I Hear?” This song reminds me of being a young girl playing my guitar at Saturday night masses. During practice, our music director would sing the chords— C, B flat, C, so every time I hear it, I still sing the chords in my head. I love Carrie Underwood’s upbeat version of this song, but when I hear The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing it, it takes my breath away.

Welcome Baby Girl! A precious new blessing was recently added to the O’Brien family. Sales rep, Michael O’Brien, recently became the proud grandpa to Lucy Jean, born October 26, 2016. Congratulations to Michael’s son and daughter-in-law, Aaron and Brandi O’Brien.

James: “Little Drummer Boy” by David Bowie and Bing Crosby. I love the blending of two very different genres and performers. I have loved this song since I was very young. Kendra: “What Christmas Means to Me” by Stevie Wonder because it’s in my favorite Christmas movie, “Elf,” and because it’s a fun and happy tune. Michael: “Aspen Glow” by John Denver. Not totally a Christmas song, but it’s on his first Christmas album. Next would be “Christmas Canon” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Catherine: “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” by Frank Sinatra. I like the warm, fuzzy feeling of Christmas and Frank Sinatra’s mellow bass voice. Lana: “Jingle Bells.” I love the lyrics of this song. They capture the essence of a traditional Christmas for me and it reminds me of the winter hayrides with friends. We would sing carols through the streets. The sound of bells delight the children - young and old. Claudia: “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” I love it because my mom used to sing this song to us, but she didn’t know all the words (being from another country), so she’d make up the words as she went along. Lyrics were never the same, only the chorus, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Kimberly: “One Little Christmas Tree” by Stevie Wonder. Also, I’ve always loved “The Christmas Song” and “O Holy Night.” Kestin: “Silent Night.” Reminds me of being a kid watching “A Christmas Story” on Christmas Eve and looking forward to Christmas Day. 68

O’ Christmas Tree TIPS ON PICKING THE PERFECT PINE (O R T R E E O F C H O I C E )

REAL OR ARTIFICIAL, that is the question. Both have advantages and disadvantages, so you really can’t go wrong no matter what choice you make. If you are searching for a real tree, you have many choices, including fir, pine, spruce, cedar and cypress trees, with abundant varieties within those types. Popular pine tree varieties include Scotch, Virginia and White. There are quite a few fir varieties—Fraser, Balsam, Canaan, Douglas Noble, Grand and White. Colorado Blue, Norway and White spruce make for popular Christmas trees. The two well-known cypress varieties are Arizona and Leyland, and Eastern Red Cedars also make ideal Christmas trees. After choosing which variety of tree you want, consider the height and the width of the room in which you would like to place it. Don’t forget to subtract the height of the tree topper and the tree stand to get the exact numbers. Then, contemplate the four S’s—shape, size, scent and strength. Lastly, consider the size of the trunk. If you already have a stand at home, make sure you measure it before you pick out a tree.4 continued on page 76

DECEMBER 2016 www.EnjoyMagazine.net

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree How lovely are thy branches While you can grab pre-cut trees from grocery or retail stores, you may enjoy cutting down your own from a local tree farm. The National Christmas Tree Association has a retail locator tool to help you find a spot. Just enter your location and it will list the names, addresses and contact information of the tree farms located nearby. Experts say the best way to get your tree home is to transport it inside your car, as placing it on the roof of the car dries it out quickly. If that’s not an option, you can cover the tree in a tarp before placing it on the roof. Once you’ve chosen your tree and decorated it to your liking, there are some things to remember to make your beloved sapling last longer. Water, water, water. Well, maybe only two waters. You should water your tree twice a day. You can also add nutrients, such as tree food, but as long as your tree has plenty of water, it should be good to go. Choose a location for your tree that isn’t near anything that could dry it out, such as baseboard heaters, fans, vents or direct sunlight. This is not only for preservation’s sake, but for safety as well. Other tips include getting new LED bulbs for lighting your tree, keeping a good eye on the water level and running a humidifier in the room, which is good for your tree and your health. When you are finished with your evergreen beauty, you can recycle it. Most cities have recycling programs, so check your local paper or the Internet for drop-off locations or pick-up dates and times. Looking for an alternative to the pine needles? Your options for artificial trees are endless, including most retail superstores and grocery stores. You can also get your tree online from numerous retail stores or Amazon. Some look more natural than others, some come pre-lit – shop around and find the one that suits your fancy. Along with your main Christmas tree, you can make smaller trees using everyday items and place them around your house. These are perfect accents to your main tree or even alternatives to the traditional tree. Fun ideas to create your tree may include buttons, cupcake wrappers, seashells, old magazines and more. Have you designed a creative tree that might inspire Enjoy readers? Share them on our Facebook page and we will post them on our website. • Kendra Kaiserman is a recent graduate of Simpson University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in communication with an emphasis in journalism.

Growing with You... During the Holidays and Beyond While spending time with your family this holiday season, keep in mind these simple signs that mom and dad may be needing help at home:

8 Caregiving Considerations 1. MEDICAL CONDITION – Has your loved one been diagnosed with a disease, illness or other medical condition that could impact their daily living? How is the medical condition likely to cause limitations to a person’s abilities now or in the future?

5. BEHAVIOR – Does your loved one seem anxious or irritable? Does being away from home make them uncomfortable? Do they seem depressed? Are they inconsistent in the things they say? Does your loved one remember names, places and current events?

2. DRIVING - If your loved one drives, is there reason to believe they pose an above average risk for being involved in an accident? How are their reflexes, vision and ability to respond in an unexpected situation? Are they likely to get lost and panic?

6. MEDICATION - Can your loved one manage their medications properly including dosage, frequency and changes to prescriptions? Do they understand why they are taking the medications? Are prescriptions getting refilled in a timely fashion?

3. FOOD/NUTRITION – Is your loved one eating balanced meals? Is their weight stable? Are they able to prepare meals? Are they able to manage grocery shopping? Do they have a reasonable variety of food in the refrigerator (with future expiration dates)?

7. FINANCES – Does it appear that your loved one is capable of making sound financial decisions? Are they able to manage their personal finances? Are bills being paid in a timely fashion? Do they have a reasonable amount of cash on hand?

4. HYGIENE - How does your loved one look and smell including their breath? Does it appear they are bathing regularly? How are their overall appearance, grooming and ability to match clothing compared to prior years? Do their bed linens and bath towels appear clean? Are they able to manage the laundry?

8. MAIL - Is the mail stacking up? Do you see any past due or delinquency notices? Does your loved one appear to be a target for solicitation offers?

If you have a family member experiencing any of these issues, it may be time to get involved. To learn more about how Home Helpers can empower your loved one to remain safely at home, call us to schedule a free in-home assessment. Our amazing staff of caregivers works 24/7 to allow peace of mind for you and independence for your loved one. When family can’t do it all your Home Helpers family can! For more information, or to schedule a complimentary in-home assessment, call Home Helpers at (530) 226-8350, or visit www.reddinghomehelpers.com

From all of us at Home Helpers, have a M erry Christmas! e Helpers

DIRECTIONS STEP 1: Heat oven to 200 degrees. STEP 2: In a skillet, over medium low heat, combine all ingredients except nuts. Stir until all sugar and spices have dissolved completely. STEP 3: Add in nuts and stir, making sure all are coated with the sugar and spice mixture. Stir constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has cooked off.

STEP 4: Line a large cookie sheet with foil and spread the coated nuts onto the covered sheet. If using smaller pans, you may need to use two, as you want the nuts in a flat, single layer. STEP 5: Bake at 200 degrees for 1 hour, being sure to stir every 20 minutes. STEP 6: Take out and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to three months.

RADIO LEGEND

by Billy Pilgrim

Dave Tappan has been entertaining radio audiences from Palm Springs to Eugene for 35 years, painting word pictures and passionately filling the airwaves with humor, empathy and a no-holds-barred commitment to food, humanity and the San Francisco Giants. We go way back in our careers together, and still spend lots of time with one another. He’s my best buddy, and is one of the greatest radio talents in our business. He can jump right through your speakers and make you feel like he is sitting next to you in the passenger seat. He gets it. Q - Let’s start at the beginning. Why the name Dave? A - Well, actually, when my Mom was in labor at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura, they wouldn’t let prospective dads in the delivery room. So Tap was in the waiting room, reading the story of David and Goliath. He thought David would be a good name for me. Q - Gosh, he could have named you Goliath. That would have been cool. Didn’t you once live across the street from Johnny Cash? A - I did. It was in Ventura. I think I played with Roseanne Cash. She taught me to sing “Ring of Fire”! Actually, I was very young, and I don’t remember much.. Q - I know you love to bowl with The Five Card Studs. What is your average? A - 176. The lowest it’s been in years. Q - You have so many years invested in radio. What are your favorite memories? A - I was on the air at KRDG, then above the Cascade Theatre. It was 10:20 at night, and I heard a terrible crash down the hall. I ran to investigate and saw police and someone lying on the floor covered in plaster dust. Apparently he had been robbing businesses downtown and storing his loot in the crawl space above the studio. He had also been living there. There was ceiling tile everywhere. Another time I was playing Olivia Newton John’s song “Physical.” The owner of KRDG, Howard Martineau, picked up the tone arm on on the turntable and said, “I don’t think we’ll be playing this!”

Q - Where did we end up that night? A - We went bowling at the Springfield Bowl. You bowled a 239. Q - What would you be doing if you weren’t doing radio? A - I’d be a chef! I’d be in the restaurant business. I love to cook and I like wearing those funny hats. And I’d have a bar, too. Q - What’s for dinner tonight? A - Apple honey drumsticks with a vegetable ragout. Q - You play classic rock on your show, who’s your favorite dead rock star? A - Stevie Ray Vaughn. I just love his music - that fusion of Texas rock and blues. Q - Who’s your radio hero? A - The late great Doctor Don Rose from KFRC, San Francisco. That man was brilliant! Q - What is your wish for the future? A - My dad said, “If you love what you do, you will have a great deal of your life figured out.” My hope is for everyone to enjoy their lives, and live life to the fullest. I remain eternally optimistic about the future.

Hear Dave Tappan every weekday morning from 6 to 10 am on Red 103.1 and 93.3.

Q - Do you remember the day I got fired at KEED in Eugene? A - Yes! I wrecked my car, and someone fired a gun at Bwana Johnny’s house, the guy who got you fired.

I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do before coming to Shasta College. From my involvement with my high school’s agriculture and FFA programs I knew that I loved the outdoors, animals, and working with my hands. Shasta College allowed me to discover my passion. The teachers at Shasta College are amazing! They care about you and do everything in their power to help you succeed.

While here, I have been able to try many different things from farming to animal care, and welding to shop work. I have attended agricultural industry tours and field trips and heard from many professionals from within the industry. I received my first two paid internships through Shasta College; one with The McConnell Foundation on their Cattle Grazing and Land Restoration project and the other with the Shasta College RAC Crew, a trail restoration and educational forestry crew. I have a third internship, if I am accepted, with the University of Nevada, Reno.

I’ve found my passion and a set of goals because of Shasta College. Once I graduate I hope to be a Rangeland Manager, or a Range Specialist and to eventually work in the private industry managing a large ranch. I am excited beyond my wildest expectations for what lies ahead!

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE MAY BE FRIGHTFUL, but the ugly sweaters running through Yreka on Dec. 17 are delightful. The mass of sweaters is worn by the participants in the annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Run, sponsored by the Siskiyou YMCA in Yreka. The assorted colors of knitted acrylics and wools are part of an effort to raise money to fund scholarships for various Y activities throughout the year. Race coordinator Noelle Collier, the energetic health and wellness director at the Y, became involved with the local Y five years ago as a director of the girls’ basketball camp. Last May, she was chosen for her current position, becoming part of an organization she loved in her youth. “Both my husband and I are from Yreka. We are raising our two kids here and have a huge connection to Yreka and Siskiyou County,” Collier says. “Being born and raised here gives me an extra insight in the Y and what it provides for my hometown, knowing how much it can bring to the kids and families in our community.” The Siskiyou YMCA began in 1990 when the former Coca-Cola warehouse was purchased by Leah McConnell and donated to the city of Yreka for the development of a recreational center for the community. Lacking resources to develop the property, the city invited the YMCA to create and operate the recreational program for

the area. McConnell responded with a donation and endowment of $500,000, while the community raised an additional $400,000, allowing the Y to begin operation in 1994. In 2015, the Y served more than 4,400 people in Siskiyou County. “In Yreka, we don’t have a city recreation department. The Siskiyou YMCA fills that void by partnering with other groups as well as YMCA programs and classes,” Collier says. “We have something for all ages and keep families active, as well as offering a place to come and use the weight room and youth activity center.” The Christmas run is an extension of the Y’s commitment to education and opportunity to live a healthy way of life. “I really enjoy my job,” Collier says. “We help people become healthy and build a lifestyle. It changes each day and provides a place for me to have events and fun ways to educate.” As a local, Collier gives back to the community which has given much to her. “What I have learned since coming on as the health and wellness director is what it provides for members of all ages,” Collier says. “We have large senior fitness classes and programs. I have a master’s degree in sports management and kinesiology, so working at a YMCA is not out of my range.”4 continued on page 94

Proceeds from the Ugly Sweater Run fund scholarships for those needing help to participate in the Y’s activities. The Y’s pledge is that no one will ever be turned away because of inability to pay for a program or membership. Last year’s race had more than 150 runners, with a target for 200 this year. Registration can be done online. Collier’s enthusiasm for her work spills over into all she does. “The Ugly Sweater Run is a great example of providing the community with an event that is fun and positive put on by the Y,” Collier says. “I was not always sure I would be able to work in my hometown. Doing what I love is a big bonus.” • Ugly Sweater Run Dec. 17 Check-in, 9 am; 2K and 5K events, 10 am Race registration, $25 www.siskiyouymca.org/events
