sparkle shine From dawn’s early light to the twilight’s last gleaming, summertime is a wonderful time to live in the great North State.

We’ve been delighted to spend time with many readers at Enjoy Movies in the Park – and if you haven’t been there yet, there’s still plenty of time to pull up a lawnchair, relax and enjoy family-friendly films in our beautiful parks. We also invite you to check out Enjoy the Store, our newest endeavor where local artists are showcasing and selling their works. Stop by our downtown location across from Leatherby’s on Placer Street and see what it’s all about.

If you’re feeling some wanderlust this summer, cool off with a deep-sea fishing trip to Trinidad, where charter companies will take you out on the open sea to catch rock cod, salmon, halibut and tuna as you breathe in the salty air. Or head over to Modoc County, a birdwatcher’s paradise that includes wildlife refuges, forests, mountains, high desert plains and wilderness. If you’re looking for peaceful solitude, you’ll find it here. A little closer to home, a three-step series of waterfalls along the McCloud River is a breathtaking place to take a picnic lunch or to watch a summer sunset.

Shasta College has been a North State institution for 60 years, educating generations of people who have sought degrees, job skills and even just an introduction to a new hobby.

This month, we pay tribute to this educational icon on its milestone birthday. We’ll also tell you more about the Mercy Redding Family Practice Residency Program, which has been training skilled and compassionate physicians to help serve the community’s health needs for 35 years.

Creative minds surround us, and we’re delighted to introduce you to some of them.

Jan Scanlin has mastered the art of etching on glass; her decorative works are unique, yet functional. The Shasta Skippers have been entertaining audiences with their fast-paced brand of rope-skipping entertainment for 25 years. On the airwaves, we love the creative humor, thoughtfulness and sometimes silliness that is delivered by Q-97’s Patrick John and Billy Pilgrim, who host the North State’s most enduring morning show. An artist of yet another stripe is Mike Hernandez, downtown Redding’s barber extraordinaire who switched career paths after a back injury prohibited him from driving trucks any more.

Independence Day celebrations will light up the skies all over the North State in days to come. Consider taking in Tehama County’s 4th of July Spectacular, which encompasses everything that’s charming about an old-fashioned patriotic celebration, from a parade to a fireworks extravaganza to a… lawnmower challenge? We’ll tell you all about it.

Celebrate, and enjoy!

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 red 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!!

in tradition to a high-tech, 25-minute From a down-home parade steeped fireworks extravaganza, Tehama County lives up

Los Molinos Parade, 10:00am in downtown Los Molinos.

Tehama District Fairground events begin at 2:00 and are free.

Grandstand events start at 7:00pm (gates open 6:30) and include Strong Man Finals, Lawnmower racing, musical entertainment and front row to fireworks, $5.

650 Antelope Blvd; (530) 527-6220 15 Enjoy July 2010

to its hype on the 4th of July. When a day’s activities are dubbed “4th of July Spectacular” there’s a lot to live up to. This is the second year the community has set out to go big at the Tehama District Fairgrounds for the holiday, and the activities represent its pride of place, commitment to heritage and love of country.

Perhaps the best indicator of a community’s cohesiveness on patriotic holidays is the extent to which a variety of its members become involved. At the fairgrounds in Red Bluff, everyone from the Poor And The Homeless (PATH) to City Council members and county supervisors step up to create a day of fun and memories for residents and visitors alike.

City and county leaders are souping up their lawnmowers for an all-out Lawnmower Challenge.

Lawnmowers become serious fun -- no one wants to lose. The winners are the spectators who get to see their leaders take a break from the tough issues of our times to hash out their differences on a track. Red Bluff City Council member and former Mayor Forrest Flynn set out an early challenge via Facebook to all government officials and department heads. The anticipation has been brewing for a few months.

The day begins with a traditional 4th of July parade in the rural town of Los Molinos on historic Highway 99. For a small town, the parade makes a big loop with all the well-loved entries: floats, horses, cheerleaders, old men and their tractors. People begin lining up early for this one, and it’s certain that in a small town like Los Molinos, a local spectator will know pretty much everyone going by. Visitors will be charmed by this authentic bit of Americana with its friendly small-town flavor.

After the parade, folks head to the Tehama District Fairgrounds in Red Bluff for a jam-packed itinerary of activities, starting around 2 pm. On the agenda are BMX bike racing, a horseshoe tournament, carnival rides, Miss Teen contest, a talent show and food vendors.

July can be a scorcher in Red Bluff, so it’s fitting that the cornerstone of kids’ events will be a “water world” area where youngsters can splash around and keep cool. Parents will want to bring a dry set of clothes because the fun will be too good for young ones to miss.

New this year will be a nationally sanctioned Strong Man competition which is attracting contestants from as far away as Washington, Arizona and Idaho. A nationally sanctioned event, the top two winners in lightweight and heavyweight competition will qualify for the national championships in Reno later this year. This opportunity to qualify for nationals has more than doubled the number of contestants expected. from nine last year to more than 20 this year. Contestants will compete in five competitions of strength, including the crowd favorite monster truck pull. Jeff Crow, an event organizer, is hoping to score big as a hometown contestant and has his eye on a national-qualifying score. “It’s a great all-around test of strength,” he says, noting that endurance, flexibility, grip, back strength and overall strength are all tested in the competitions.

Capping off the evening will be a fireworks extravaganza that starts with a display that feels like a grand finale. The hits just keep on coming for a solid 25 minutes of “oohs!” and “ahhhs!” The best seats are in the fairgrounds’ grandstands, but people will line the streets all around for the glorious performance.

For a day of 4th of July fun with all the charm of a small town and excitement of a big-city fireworks display, head to Tehama County. You’ll find something for everyone and will be reminded why North State living is some of the best in America. •

jan scanlin creates A rt with F unction

Inspired by the functional artistry of Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and the exotic art of glass blower Dale Chihuly, Jan Scanlin “takes a basic need and makes it into a beautiful asset.” From custom homes to casinos, Scanlin has created decorative works of art in glass that not only enhance the environment with their creativity, but also serve a function. Her commission work graces professional offices and residential spaces with room dividers, pantry doors and shower enclosures among many other applications. She enjoys making “practical things that are gorgeous.”

Scanlin has successfully made her artwork into a career. She explains her “bread-and-butter” work unapologetically from a very practical perspective. As a young wife and mother searching for a way to supplement the family income, she explored a variety of artistic endeavors, including sign painting and printing for Dicker’s in the old Downtown Mall. She learned the art of engraving on glass, and eventually discovered her niche with the sandblasting process.

Scanlin starts with a ¾-inch glass canvas. For small pieces, she slips her hands into gloved sleeves attached to a sandblasting box and looks through a window in the box while manipulating a selected nozzle that jets out just the right amount of abrasive material and compressed air. An image begins to emerge as she carefully carves into glass that has already undergone multiple steps of preparation.

Large pieces require that she “suit up” like a deep sea diver so she can disappear into a walk-in booth where fresh air is pumped in through an air hood and dust pulled out into a dust collector. Traces of abrasive follow her out of the booth, a hint of the artistry wrought within. Gold leaf and airbrush painting, slumped glass layers and unique foundations add dimension and character to her most recent decorative work.

Scanlin takes a forward-thinking approach to her profession. She has successfully navigated through the “trends” that affect every artist and seems to have found the right balance between commercial appeal and artistic “purity.” Whereas early on she found great success

working with housing developers and contractors, she became aware before the housing market slowdown that she would need to redirect some of her efforts to remain relevant and competitive in the marketplace.

Now Scanlin collaborates with another local entrepreneur and artist, Dan Ferrarese. Ferrarese creates out of natural wood, metal and found objects. His sculptures and assemblage pieces integrate free-flowing lines with classical structure. From foundations to frames, Ferrarese has joined his talents with Scanlin’s as they brainstorm and create stand-alone pieces that depict exotic and fantastic scenes, and abstracts with hints of embedded images.

They call their collective work “synergistic,” in which “the sum of the parts is greater than the individual elements,” though Ferrarese says, “We haven’t quite found our voice, but we are getting close.” “We are trying to listen to our audience,” says Scanlin. “We are looking for the WOW! factor.”

Scanlin began marketing her work in the mid-1990s at wholesale shows in Philadelphia. She stopped going to shows during the housing boom when regular commissions kept her busy. In June, Scanlin returned to the Wholesale Craft Show in Las Vegas where gallery and boutique buyers from around the country shop for their inventories. Scanlin’s work is finding its way into galleries and gift shops from coast to coast. Through the years, more than 45 galleries across the United States have carried her unique decorative glasswork. Scanlin and Ferrarese hope to again find a niche in that market.

Jan and John Scanlin met and began life together while attending California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. They moved to Redding 35 years ago. Both have a creative bent, both sought practical ways to provide for their family, but together they continue to love performance as well as visual arts. Jan plays the violin and hammer dulcimer; John plays the guitar and piano, and writes and performs one-man Biblical dramas for local churches. They share a love for relational ministry that Jan says undergirds and inspires much of her artwork. “Under every layer there is a subtle reflection of my faith, a seed of a story that may impact others.” • Scanlin’s work can be seen at www.scanlinglass.com

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

21 Enjoy July 2010

~Jacques Yves Cousteau

The call of the sea is legendary and its beckoning siren can often be heard in Redding—especially when the mercury begins to stretch toward triple-digit territory.

Once the ocean’s ageless appeal combines with an old-fashioned heat wave, a trip to Trinidad on the beautiful Humboldt County coast may be just the ticket to answer that call and cool off in the process.

And those inclined toward piscatorial pursuits, or just curious about deep-sea fishing, are in for a treat. A half-dozen charter companies operate out of the Trinidad harbor, taking groups out on a daily basis to catch rock cod, salmon, halibut and even tuna.

Spending a day on the Pacific is an exhilarating change from the more conventional angling opportunities offered by Redding-area lakes and streams. Seagulls wheel and scream while pelicans gracefully skim above the gentle swells as the boat steadily motors its way west to the captain’s favorite fishing grounds.

The tang and smell of salt spray in the air reinforces the idea that one is in a new environment, immersed in the marine elements and ready to find out just what kind of creatures can be summoned from the ocean’s depths.

In these waters, the primary targets are black rock cod or snappers, ling cod, Chinook or king salmon and California halibut. It’s not uncommon to hook into a vermillion snapper, a brilliant orange number that resembles a massive goldfish. Other rockfish species include blue, canary, China and yellowtail.

Clay Collins, captain of the 44-foot Shenandoah, is a thirdgeneration fisherman who says he can remember helping his dad unhook snappers when he was 3 years old. While there are no guarantees in the world of fishing, Collins says a good time is pretty much a given, regardless of what type of fish his customers are after.

“I enjoy so many aspects of it. One of them is getting people out there for the first time. Maybe they’ve never even seen the ocean. It’s really neat to see people go through that sort of thing. Everything is so new, all the smells,” Collins says.

“Another fun part is having kids out there and watching them outfish their dad. And people catching their first fish, that’s a lot of fun,” he says. “The people who don’t know what to expect, they seem to enjoy it the most. Of course, I also have regulars who have been coming out for 15 years.”

An added bonus to fishing during the summer months is the Dungeness crab season that runs through July 30. Charter boat operators maintain and bait a couple dozen crab pots during the season. The pots are hoisted up when the boats return to harbor and, depending on the day’s catch, customers are treated to as many as 10 crabs each.

For first-timers, Collins recommends a half-day rockfish trip.

“There’s lots of action, it’s pretty hands-on and you get to keep 10 fish,” he says. Salmon fishing, which is available through Sept. 7, is a little more passive. Rods are placed in holders while the boat trolls the baited hooks. When a salmon strikes, customers get the excitement of reeling in a bright, feisty fish that can easily reach into the 30-pound range and beyond. Anglers are limited to two king salmon a day. Silver or coho salmon must be released.

Charter boat operators furnish the rods, reels and necessary tackle, deckhands step in to help with casting or unhooking as needed. Once 23 Enjoy July 2010

back at the dock, the fish are expertly filleted and each customer receives a plastic bag full of the freshest seafood imaginable.

“We tell people to bring a coat in case the fog rolls in, the beer or whatever beverages they prefer and maybe a snack, and their fishing license, of course. If you’re prone to motion sickness, bring some medicine along,” Collins says. Fishing licenses are available at the Trinidad harbor.

Anglers interested in a little more adventure might consider a day aboard the 22-foot Pioneer, a “four-pack” charter operated by Northwind Charters. Powered by a hefty outboard motor, the Pioneer can cruise along at a relatively swift 23 knots, according to its captain, Matt Dallam.

The Pioneer specializes in full-day, multi-species or “combo” trips, typically providing clients with a limit of salmon before focusing on rockfish. Depending on the clients’ preferences, the day may include fishing for halibut as well.

“We do half-day trips, but don’t like to too much. I think the better value and more fun is putting in the time for halibut and salmon.

There are two of us (Brendan Semmes is co-captain), we work four days on and four days off. It’s a small boat and we give them specialized treatment. We’re all usually friends by the end of the day,” Dallam says.

The Pioneer is a faster boat that allows it cover more of the ocean in a shorter amount of time, but each trip is dictated by the customers on board. “They can be as aggressive as they want or as casual as they want,” Dallam adds. • www.northwindcharters.net www.shenandoahcharters.com Greater Trinidad Chamber of Commerce www.trinidadcalif.com

U -T op I T F R O Z E N Y O G U R T

While frozen yogurt’s popularity in the 1980s and ’90s fizzled, business owners serving cups and cones of the soft treat today say they expect to be more than a trend.

National and regional franchises, as well as independent frozen yogurt stores, are opening across California, and are catering to consumers looking for healthier food options. The stores complement a healthier lifestyle choice, which is likely to help business longevity.

Orange County-raised Jennifer Ketels is counting on it. Once a jet-setting marketing representative for a Los Angeles ad agency representing Las Vegas casinos, Ketels often worked more than 60 hours a week, traveling constantly. When she visited the North State while doing business with Win River Casino, she fell in love with the area and seemed to know she would find her way here somehow.

“I fell in love with the community and with the people,” she says.

“But business in Redding was questionable.” However, Ketels was approaching 40, wanted a baby, and didn’t want to “work to live” anymore. She felt that Redding would allow her to really be there and be an active part in her baby’s life, something her current job wouldn’t permit. So in 2008, while pregnant with son Christian, she made the move to Redding to open the first of the U-Top It stores on Churn Creek Road (the Placer store opened that August).

“I felt there was a definite void to fill,” Ketels says of her choice of business. She had done her research on the frozen yogurt industry and knew from a marketing perspective what would work, so she came up with the concept herself. She owns the brand and has recently sold licenses to open five more stores in the Washington area.

According to many business experts, whoever is going to take this trend into a lifestyle brand will be long-term winners in the industry.

The level of interest in opening yogurt businesses has increased because of the simplicity of the business concept and because the business design is easily duplicable, Ketels says.

U-Top It offers a number of ever-changing flavors and toppings – including fruit, nuts and candy bar pieces – for customers to mix in.

Customers can, as the name suggests, top their yogurt themselves, adding as much or as little as they want. The yogurt is then weighed to determine the price of the treat. So it really is a hands-on experience the whole family can enjoy.

And that includes Ketels’ son, now a thriving toddler. “I took whatever was dealt to me. I know that I wouldn’t have been around for Christian, working as much as I did in my other job.” Ketels says Redding has embraced her, her family (her parents also fell in love with Redding and moved here from Orange County) and her business.

“This process was hard work and I think this community appreciates hard work,” Ketels says. She is sure to give back, and is actively involved with the Shasta Women’s Refuge. She also believes strongly in education; her staff, which consists mostly of college students, can count on her to be flexible with their school schedules.

And now Ketels’ own schedule is flexible, something she didn’t have before. “Besides making the store profitable, it’s all about spending time with Christian,” she says. “Enjoy life.” Indeed. • U-Top It is at two locations in Redding: 1360 Churn Creek Road and 3345 Placer Street, Redding

X G A M E S B O U N D TO D D T H O M P S O N D E F I E S T H E O D D S He’s been shifting gears since the age of 3, but Todd Thompson of Cottonwood couldn’t have envisioned then being a top contender for the X Games slated for July in Los Angeles.

Thompson, 31, says he’ll strive for nothing short of the gold medal in the Adaptive Supercross Division – adaptive because he races motorcycles with a prosthetic leg.

“I want people to look at me as a role model,” he says.

“Going through life with a disability isn’t the end of the world.”

The X Games, which has winter and summer venues, provides a platform for athletes with physical impairments to compete in extreme sports such as SnoCross, surfing and skateboarding.

Thompson will be racing his 450 Suzuki RMZ in the very sport that claimed his leg in 1998. After gaining air on his third consecutive tabletop jump at a Livermore track, Thompson hit the ground so hard that his femur, knee and lower leg were decimated. 

“It was sort of a weird day. I didn’t even think I was going (to the race),” he says. “I got there late and missed practice.”

The first race went great that fateful day. Thompson jumped out of the gate and won second place in the first heat, then prepared for his evening race.

According to Thompson, the jumps were well lit that night, but landing in the shadows proved difficult and dangerous. The devastating impact shattered his lower leg when he hit the ground straight-legged while still seated atop his bike.

“Your feet can fall off the pegs all the time. It’s usually not a big deal,” Thompson says. “It didn’t hurt. It just felt weird. I couldn’t get my positioning. I saw a heel instead of toes and I was still on the gas trying to go.”

Complications, multiple surgeries and a lower leg amputation were a blur during his long stay at a Santa Rosa hospital. But even though he lost his right leg, he didn’t lose his passion for the sport.

Thompson says his life got back on track when he met and married Andrea, 31. With that came the joy of fatherhood to daughter Grace, 6, and son Lane, 9 months.

“I’m by no means handicapped or disabled in my eyes, even though other people might see me that way,” Thompson says. “It’s a state of mind. And I’m not going to just sit back. I have my wife, my parents and friends to thank for that.”

His biggest advocates have provided generous gifts: a training bike from longtime friend Jason Burris, a racing bike from his father, time in the gym from Shasta Physical Therapy, sponsorship and promoting by Manny Ornellas at CDG Technology and riding time at a Tehama County race track.

With his bikes, upgraded prosthetic leg and so many loved ones on his side, Thompson says, “Failure cannot be an option.”

When not with his clan, Thompson kicks up dust training at the Endicott family track at Finger Lake MX Park in Red Bluff. A rare place, he says, where he’s been allowed to manipulate the track to hone his performance and gear up for the big event.

“I want to be an ambassador for the sport,” Thompson says of his love for motocross. “Otherwise I wouldn’t do what I do now.” •

On May 29, Todd competed in the Extremity Games in Michigan where he won the X-Games qualifier and brought home a silver medal. You can watch the X-Games on July 29 on ESPN at 3 pm.

To help offset the cost of going to the X-Games, an account has been established in Todd Thompson’s name.

Pets

onthe brink V eterinarians W illiam and M ichael B rink

Some doctors still make regular house calls… actually, field and barn calls might better characterize their frequent visits to patients. Veterinarian William Brink began his Palo Cedro practice in 1961 in “the little red barn” at the intersection of Deschutes Road and Highway 44, now the grey-and-white home of Preventive Medical Health Care. Veterinarian Michael Brink joined his father in 1988, who by then had relocated to their current address next to Palo Cedro Feed Store on Old Highway 44. They have built their lives and their mixed animal veterinary practice by serving people, livestock and pets. It’s an old-fashioned story of hard work intermixed with new-fangled medical techniques and practices in veterinary medicine.

Brink Veterinary Clinic has had to adapt, like so many other businesses, to economic and agricultural trends. In the early years of their practice, large animals demanded more attention. As farming and ranching have declined in recent years, the Brinks have spent less time in barns and more time in the clinic with small animals and family pets. Still, the outside pens often contain injured or ill horses, cows, sheep and goats. One or the other leaves the clinic often on emergency calls.

The senior Brink’s wife Jessica would like him to consider retiring, now that he has reached the wise age of 79, but he still enjoys the variety in each day’s work. Though both men display a quiet reserve, they “love to interact with people who have a need, to help their animals and fix the problem,” says the elder. His son, 52, agrees. “The reward comes from helping others,” Mike says. Over time, he adds, “many of our clients have become personal friends.”

Both Brinks left for college without a clear vision, but both excelled in biological sciences and eventually chose veterinary medicine. Bill Brink, who earned his doctorate in veterinary medicine from University of California, Davis, after serving for two years as a medic in the Army during the Korean War, didn’t expect his son to follow in his footsteps. Nor did Mike Brink feel inclined that way until he completed his lower-division work at Oregon State University. But, acknowledges Bill, it was a proud day when Mike graduated as a doctor of veterinary medicine and chose to move home to practice alongside his dad.

A bustling office attests to a thriving practice, with eight to 10 part-time and full-time employees at any given time. Mike enjoys

surgery, now including titanium implants for dogs with damage in their knees. They may start the day with a full appointment schedule in the clinic and end up on a farm call pulling a calf or treating an injured horse. They have learned to “roll with the punches,” says Mike. He relates to the stories by James Herriot, an English veterinary surgeon who wrote about his countryside experiences in the well-known book All Creatures Great and Small. A mixed-animal practice, Mike says, by nature creates all kinds of interesting and unpredictable challenges.

Mike and his sister, Sara, grew up on the Whitmore ranch where Bill and Jessica settled in 1968. Mike accompanied his dad regularly on calls. Now, with adjoining properties covering more than 400 acres, three generations of Brinks have enjoyed raising cattle and gardening, along with all the other hard work and rewards of ranch life. Mike and his wife, Terri, raised their four children on the ranch, sending each in turn off to college and beyond. A fourth generation of Brinks now comes for visits to the family homestead.

Bill speaks more in “used tos” while Mike still “aspires to…” when talking about interests outside of work. Bill jokes that now he does more “rocking and watching,” especially enjoying grandchildren as they have grown. Both men read voraciously. Mike, an avid outdoorsman, enjoys hiking, backpacking, running, hunting and fishing. Bill says he “used to.” Mike recently completed the Boston Marathon in the top 8 percent of finishers, top 4 percent in his age group. He qualified for Boston in his first-ever marathon in San Francisco last year when he placed fourth in his age group. Bill and Jessica’s travel adventures primarily involve visits to family; Mike and Terri enjoy destination vacations, including their recent visits to San Francisco and Boston.

Doctors Brink and Brink share more than a busy veterinary practice. As men of devout faith in God, they also share oldfashioned values, a passionate love for their country and conservative political views. Bill speaks for both when he lists Christ, family, patriotism and an agricultural way of life as high ideals. Active members of their church, their Christian faith dictates not only their world view, but the way they conduct their business and why they enjoy serving others. • Brink Veterinary Clinic 22066 Old 44 Dr, Palo Cedro (530) 547-4459 July 2010 Enjoy 32

B I R D I N G at M odoc C ounty ’ s treasures When it comes to access to wildlife, California’s undiscovered country is Modoc County. The 4,200 square miles that make up the northeastern corner of California is 70 percent publicly owned land. Low-impact wildlife refuges, forests, mountains, high desert plains and wilderness blanket this area and provide many diverse bird watching opportunities.

What is the best way to find a good spot to watch birds in this huge variety of avian habitat? Thanks to the creative efforts of a team of local government agencies, the highlight of birding Modoc County is a 17-stop system of birding hot spots dubbed the Basin & Range Birding Trail. Each stop features natural aspects of the area that attract specific birds depending on the habitat of the stop, and introduces the birder to the best opportunity to view some of the 320 species on the Modoc County bird list.

The number one stop and the crown jewel of the Birding Trail is the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge. Located just south of Alturas, this 7,000-acre system of high desert ponds, seasonal marshes, wet meadows and surrounding chaparral attracts 250 species of waterfowl, songbirds and shorebirds.

33 Enjoy July 2010

The primary purpose of the refuge, however, is to support the lifecycle of the sandhill crane.

The benefit to the birder is access to a compact area of diverse habitat that attracts a large variety of birds.

Begin your birding day at the refuge Visitors’ Center, where you will meet the people who maintain this wonderful property, and find examples of beautifully preserved birds found on the refuge. Such close-up views are rarely available, even via binoculars. Check out the showcase of bird eggs featuring their various sizes and colors.

Take a few brochures that describe the Birding Trail, the refuge and surrounding area, and the accompanying auto tour. Pick up a “Wildlife of Modoc National Wildlife Refuge” brochure for a complete guide of bird species you may expect to see, and in which month you can expect to see them.

Next, take the three-mile long loop auto tour. Watching wildlife from the car provides a blind that creates the best opportunity for close approaches. Once on the tour, drive slowly along this one-way dirt road. Take your time and you will be rewarded with excellent viewing. Stop your car 

periodically, turn off the engine, roll down your windows and listen for birds nearby. You will often hear birds before you see them. Scan the chaparral to the north and east of the road for song and savannah sparrow and western meadowlark. Northern harrier float a few feet off the scrub, searching for rodents and reptiles, turning on a breath and pouncing on their prey. The sky overhead will show raptors, ravens and vultures.

Strategically positioned along the route are three wooden benches. Pull your car to a stop behind a bench, grab your binoculars or spotting scope and have a seat. Each bench faces one of the many ponds and marshes dotting the refuge. Use your spotting scope to peep waterfowl, shorebirds and sandhill crane.

Tree, cliff and barn swallow dart very near your head, plying the air for insects. Ring-billed and California gulls soar overhead.

Once you are finished at the refuge, The Basin & Range Birding Trail guide gives you directions to check out the other 16 selected birding locales in Modoc County. Dorris Reservoir is the next closest location, just minutes from the refuge. Two access points allow for a close approach to the water. The remote Warner Mountain Range to the east is also close and provides a mountain environment that supports cordilleran flycatcher, pileated woodpecker and red-breasted sapsucker. Beyond the Warner Range and south of Cedarville, sagebrush steppe habitat houses birds of prey, sage sparrow and chukar.

The habitat diversity of Modoc County is truly remarkable.

The Basin & Range Birding Trail allows birders to take full advantage of this diversity and the many species attracted by high desert geography. • Modoc National Wildlife Refuge, Alturas (530) 233-3572 • www.fws.gov/modoc

Q - 9 7 A N D T H E N O R T H S TAT E ’ S DY N A M I C D U O , B I L LY A N D PAT R I C K The sun hasn’t yet peeked over the horizon, but Billy Pilgrim and Patrick John are fully caffeinated, updated on the latest news and ready to give the North State a friendly wake-up call. They know you’re counting on them to roust you from slumber, tell you what happened while you slept and keep you company on your way to work.

But Q-97’s Billy and Patrick didn’t become the North State’s most enduring morning show by simply sending headlines and weather over the airwaves each weekday morning. They’ve amassed tens of thousands of fans by immersing themselves into the heart of the North State – and both put the personality into the term “radio personality.”

Billy and Patrick first crossed paths at Redding’s Jack in the Box drive-through – Billy was hungry, and Patrick’s voice came over the loudspeaker to ask for his order. Patrick later landed an internship at radio station B94, and he was working overnights when Billy ended up needing a new morning partner. The pair started as “The Red Eye Ranch” on KEWB-FM, and then came on board as “Billy and Patrick Mornings” on Q97.

37 Enjoy July 2010

“When he first started, his voice had the same pitch as a choir girl,” Billy quips.

Now they’re the longest-running morning show team in the North State, and they continue to rank number one in their market’s ratings, according to Arbitron. They recently celebrated their 15th year on the air together.

Inside the country station’s north Redding studio, Billy takes the driver’s seat in front of two computers and a control board. With a touch of the screen, he starts a song or runs a commercial. At the opposite side of the table is Patrick, Q-97’s program director, who flips through a stack of papers that include odd news items, birthday shout-out requests and press releases. On his computer screen, he skims a screen filled with the station’s incoming text messages (they get hundreds each day if a contest or opinion poll is under way). He also checks the traffic online so he can warn listeners ASAP if they’re going to have any trouble getting to work or school.

Meanwhile, the countdown clock strikes :00 on Billy’s computer, and they’re live.

www.q97country.com

Really live. Not five-second delay live; not “most of the time” live.

What they say is what you hear, as if you’re standing right there in the studio, with the Asphalt Cowboys bobblehead and the velvet Elvis and The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Country Music and the awards they’ve received over the years.

“We’re as live as live can get,” Patrick says.

Billy gives a quick rundown of the time, the temperature and today’s forecast before he and Patrick fall into easy, friendly conversation.

They look at each other while they speak and use hand gestures just like they’re in their living room.

“You seem very smiley and chipper this morning,” Billy tells his cohost, glancing over at Patrick’s coffee mug. Sure enough – almost on empty.

“He can always tell how much coffee I’ve had,” Patrick says, before announcing that it’s George Strait’s birthday, and that “Ocean Front Property” will be the “song of the day” in his honor.

Notes are tacked to the studio’s wall, their “cheat sheets” for when they draw a blank: “Give me a call at 244-97FM, or you can text me at 70236.” But they don’t need the reminders. Ad lib works for them – even on their “really live” show. “It’s all structured pretty much in here,” Billy says, tapping his cranium.

There’s still a half-hour before KRCR-TV’s Chita Johnson will join Billy and Patrick to give the extended weather forecast, but Patrick offers a preliminary report: “There’s a quarter inch of rain in the coffee cup out front,” he says.

Billy touches an icon on his computer screen and a commercial comes on. Technology has certainly made a radio host’s job easier over the years, the pair say.

“When we started, we had three little CD players – we couldn’t leave the studio for longer than the length of a song,” Patrick recalls.

“Well, we really can’t now, either,” Billy replies.

Good point, Patrick concedes. “People think we’re sitting around in between songs, but we’re answering the phone, getting the news, getting something ready,” Patrick says. “There’s one minute here, 30 seconds there to do something.”

Their hearts are firmly planted in the North State – it’s rare for them to turn down the opportunity to do a live remote or give an on-air shout-out to a worthy local cause. In fact, they celebrated their 15th anniversary by hosting a 90-minute variety show at the Cascade Theatre to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Cascade Theatre Fund.

“We just love this place,” Patrick says. • July 2010 Enjoy 38

downtownbuzz B A R B E R M ike H ernandez

An old brick building and iconic red and white barber’s pole may be as traditional and Rockwellian as it gets, but Mike Hernandez, downtown Redding staple and barber extraordinaire, is hardly conventional.

Hernandez’s single-chair shop is a curious study in proportion.

The floor space is barely the size of a walk-in closet, but the soaring ceilings and abundant windows permit plenty of light. In the single, small space, one man accounts for more than a dozen thriving plants, a collection of as many vintage hats, handfuls of seemingly mismatched paintings, a CD library to incite the envy of any music fan, towers of diverse books, a tiny lounge area for waiting customers, and a few oddities like a stuffed bird, vintage bicycle and an old fourchannel tape recorder thrown in for good measure. It must be seen to be believed, but the collections are so carefully acquired and arranged that it all works to really create the space, rather than simply fill it. As one customer sees it, “It’s one of those places you don’t mind sitting and waiting around in.”

“I used to change (the décor) out once a month,” Hernandez explains of his affection for the various collections, the makeup of which he finds at local thrift and antique shops. Like the wall décor, Hernandez’s gardening skills have evolved over time: “I had a few years where I killed everything,” he confesses. Clearly, he relishes having a workplace that is as uniquely his own as his home is. “There’s only one key, just me cutting the hair, and I control the music,” he says. As jobs go, “it’s a nice environment.”

Hernandez was a truck driver until a back injury sidelined him, when he decided to examine career options that would allow him more time with his then-3-year-old son. Determining that he could pursue an interest in barbering that would also afford the chance to be his own boss, Hernandez trained to be a cosmetologist, and Mike’s Barber Shop has called the Lorenz Hotel home for the last 12 years.

The marriage of the space and the work is such a convivial one that 41 Enjoy July 2010

Hernandez has never considered changing the shop’s location. He can watch the seasons change, enjoy the energy of the parkside location and relish the stream of regular customers and accompanying work.

“I like to give as precise a haircut as possible,” he explains while doing just that for one of his regulars. “I’ve developed a clientele that are either very particular or have difficult hair.”

Hernandez prefers taking his time with more challenging cuts and hair types, which is easier in his small sanctuary and with his music playing than it would be in a bustling, multi-chair establishment.

His music preference is guided by a simple philosophy: “There’s only good music: you just have to find it.” The stacks (and stacks… and stacks) of CDs are a testament of his dedicated search. Opera, jazz and everything in between takes its turn on the stereo; the day’s selection is guided by Hernandez’s mood, though he always considers his guests’ comfort. “Some jazz takes too much concentration, so I do try to think of my customers.”

The barber shop has granted Hernandez a plum perspective on the downtown area and its many changes over the last decade. “It used to be a ghost town after 5 pm on a Friday,” he remembers. “There’s much more energy now. It’s more diverse and cosmopolitan.”

Though Hernandez and his shop are positively singular, this barber’s lifestyle is broadly idyllic.

“Downtown is a neat place to live and work,” he concludes. “And in my occupation, when I have down time, I can read, enjoy my music and take care of my plants.”

Editors’ Picks

MODOC COUNTY Editors’ Picks Fast facts:

• Modoc’s only incorporated city (and the county seat) is Alturas. The former county seats of Lake City and Centerville are now ghost towns. It was part of Siskiyou County until 1874.

Timber, gold, agriculture and railroad industries brought settlers into the area.

• Tucked into the northeast corner of California, Modoc is one of just two counties in California that borders two American states (the other is San Bernardino). Oregon lies to the north of Modoc, and Nevada is to the east.

If you’re intrigued by geology or wildlife, grab your camera and head to Modoc County. Marshes, forests, plains and lava flows provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife. The Modoc National Wildlife Refuge is one of several refuges in the area, and it covers thousands of acres of hunting, fishing and observational grounds. The Native Americans who first settled this land called it “The Smiles of God.” GPS was a lifesaver in helping us navigate through some of the less developed areas.

back in time Downtown Cedarville is a quaint step back into yesteryear. The J.K. Metzker House is a cute bed-and-breakfast that also hosts weddings, family reunions and other special events. Stroll into the Country Hearth Gift Shoppe, and enjoy freshly baked donuts or cinnamon rolls at the Country Hearth restaurant (a small ice cream cone is just 70 cents). Inside the Cressler and Bonner historical building, you can play a board game while you sip your latte at the Surprise Café, and find something to read at Floating Island Books and Publications (if it’s closed, you can still choose a book from their bargain shelf and slip your money under the door). A horse trough and hitching post reminds visitors what the main form of transportation used to be here.

• Modoc is one of the state’s most sparsely populated counties. About 10,000 people live here – an average of about 2.25 people per square mile.

• Most of Modoc County’s territory is federal land – it belongs to the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

• This county was named for the Modoc tribe, which lived at the Klamath River headwaters in Oregon. It was also home to two other major tribal groups: the Achumawi (or Pit, for which the Pit River is named), and the Paiute.

43 Enjoy July 2010

historical tribute Several thousand acres just south of Newell served as the temporary exile for thousands of JapaneseAmerican citizens during World War II at the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, an internment camp that is now a National Historic Landmark. In 2008, it was designated by President George W. Bush as one of nine sites (and the only one in the contiguous 48 states) to be part of the new World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.

love wildlife?

Modoc County won’t disappoint. We saw a bald eagle, countless other varieties of birds, deer, wild horses and dozens (perhaps hundreds?) of small rodents that kept darting across the highway. Rocky Mountain Elk and pronghorn antelope, deer, coyotes, skunks, jackrabbits, raccoons, wild turkey and mountain lions also call this area home.

take me away

satisfy your hunger

Soak your worries away at the Surprise Valley Hot Springs in Cedarville. Just $15 will buy you up to an hour of soaking time.

Two words of advice if you stop by the Brass Rail in Alturas: Come hungry. This old-school Basque restaurant is in a cinderblock building on Highway 395, and the menu is fairly short – steaks, lamb, fried chicken and a little seafood. Soup, salad, bread and a side dish are served family style, and ice cream, coffee and wine are also included in the price. It’s also a comfortable place to enjoy a good cocktail.

scenic treat Diverse geography makes Modoc an interesting place to explore scenery. The Medicine Lake Highlands along the county’s northwest edge is the largest shield volcano on the west coast, and the Glass Mountain lava flow is along the western edge. Yet the southwestern corner features a unique ecosystem of oaks, volcanic mountains and river valleys. The Warner Mountains are a short spur of the Cascade Mountain Range. The South Warner Wilderness Area offers the highest peaks in northeast California – from the highest elevations you can see Modoc County, much of Lassen County and the Black Rock Desert, with Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen in the distance. Explore the area on foot, by horseback, or on snowshoes or crosscountry skis in the winter.

for all seasons history stands still Fort Bidwell’s commanding officers’ quarters are still standing, right near where California, Oregon and Nevada meet. It’s not open to visitors, but it’s neat to see.

Pull bass or trout of the area’s lakes and mountain streams, or see if you can hook a catfish or bass in the warmer flows of the Pit River. Cedar Pass Ski Park between Cedarville and Alturas maintains a surface ski lift, and we’re told that it’s rare to find a line at the lift. Ice skating, ice fishing and snowmobiling are also popular at the park.

“It’s a great sport.

I think it helps kids get through their life.”

47 Enjoy July 2010

twist a pair of jump ropes into a fast-paced Double Dutch, and a third-grade boy does a roundoff into the spinning ropes. Across the gymnasium, another Double Dutch pair makes a few on-the-fly adjustments as a teammate gets a running start, then flips backwards into the ropes.

“The turners are 90 percent responsible for what happens in those ropes,” explains Jeff Lighthall, veteran coach and founder of the Shasta Skippers. “The first two years, the kids wouldn’t let me turn because I wasn’t good at it.”

Anyone can join this demonstration jump rope team, which has won a national championship and earned gold at the Junior Olympics. They’ve jumped at halftime for the Sacramento Kings and the Stanford University basketball team, and they’ve traveled to Germany, France and more than 20 states. They’ve performed at Disneyland, Disneyworld and countless local events.

“We’ve jumped in virtually every school in Redding over the years. That’s the heart and soul of this,” Lighthall says. By the end of a school demonstration, youngsters in the audience are scrambling for ropes to take onto the playground.

A quarter-century ago, two local teachers watched a demonstration by a Colorado jump rope team and “the kids went nuts,” Lighthall says. “I spent a week with (their coach) and started a club. We jumped at a school board meeting, and somebody from another school asked if we could jump at their school.”

What began as an after-school club to promote health turned into an Enterprise Elementary School District-wide competitive team, and now it’s open to all North State youth through the Redding Recreation and Parks Department. 

Jump rope promotes fitness, improves coordination and rhythm, teaches sportsmanship and builds self-esteem – and just about anyone can do it, Lighthall says. “You don’t need a lot of money – just a jump rope and a decent pair of shoes,” he says.

This year’s team started with about a dozen jumpers and grew to 30 students, from third grade through college, by the end of the year.

“It’s a big family. They’re like my sons and daughters,” Lighthall says.

After 25 years, the Shasta Skippers’ founder couldn’t be having more fun. “It’s been a long journey, but it’s like it started yesterday,” Lighthall says. “When it’s not fun, I’ll quit.”

And his team members feel the same way. “It’s a running joke with the kids – it’s every Tuesday and Thursday for the rest of your life,” Lighthall says. “And for some, it is.”

Take Lighthall’s now-grown daughter, Sara, for instance. When she was a Skipper, her team won the nationals and took gold at the Junior Olympic Nationals in New Orleans; she’s now a Southern California fashion designer, but she also runs a jump rope club in La Jolla and is a personal jump rope trainer.

Lighthall, a 1965 graduate of Enterprise High School, attended Sacramento State University and then moved to Canada with his bride of 41 years, Kandis, a 1966 Shasta High graduate. They returned to Redding in 1982 with their young children, Sara and Bryce; Kandis got a job teaching special education for the Shasta County Office of Education, and Lighthall took a sixth-grade

teaching job at Alta Mesa School. Lighthall now teaches fourth grade at Rother Elementary School, and his wife “rewired” in 2007 and creates publications about autism. She also helps teach the beginning skippers.

In the gym at Parsons Junior High School in Redding, Eric Whitmer, 9, drops down into the splits and declares that being a Skipper is “so fun. It feels like a family.” Adds Cheyenne Bennett, 10: “It’s a great sport. I think it helps kids get through their life.”

These positive attitudes are pervasive among the Skippers. “The kids who are attracted to this program are super neat kids,” Lighthall says. “There are no brats, no whiners. They’re willing to learn, willing to do it and willing to listen. They treat every demonstration in a school gym like they’re performing for the Kings.”

Supportive parents help keep the team alive, he says, getting Skippers to twice-weekly practices and helping shuttle them to demonstrations and competitions all over the country.

Kelley Verhoog, whose 11-year-old daughter Natalie is on the team, pushes the credit right back to Lighthall. “He really believes all kids deserve an opportunity to shine and to be happy,” Verhoog says.

“It’s taught Natalie patience and tolerance. She has to learn things that are very difficult, and she’s expected to teach younger kids.

Nobody gets fouled out, nobody gets a penalty, nobody goes home crying. Everybody just smiles.”• www.shastaskippers.com

Living well after a cancer diagnosis...

• Physical therapist experienced in the treatment of post- surgical and radiation cancer patients

for living

• 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.

Shasta College celebrates its 60th year educating people in the North State this fall and has a brag sheet that’s almost as long as its list of alumni.

Its $18 million Health Sciences and University Center provides a home not just to nursing and dental hygiene programs but also to advanced degree classes by Chico State and other universities. More than $1 million worth of new lighting, video and sound equipment benefit music and theatre arts students. A brand new Learning Resources and Technology Center offers the latest ways to learn. A $7 million dollar solar field, partially funded by PG&E, went online June 1 and enables the college to cut its electric bill by 37% and to provide even greater savings in the years ahead.

But President Gary Lewis says without hesitation that they are proudest of “our student successes.” There are thousands of them all over the North State and beyond. Dr. John Caton is a top oncologist in Eugene, Ore., and hails from Montgomery Creek. When he was a senior in high school, he may not have qualified for the University of California system. He completed two years at Shasta College and went on to achieve a bachelor of science degree in bacteriology at U.C. Davis, followed by medical school in Wisconsin. Under an agreement with U.C. Davis, students who take UC-transferable courses and maintain a 2.75 grade point average at Shasta are guaranteed a spot at Davis for their junior year.

a four-year college right after high school, Lewis responds, “Attending Shasta College is not a step back but an opportunity to leap forward.” It allows parents to save serious money – as much as $50,000 to $60,000 for the first two years of college.

Part of Shasta College’s mission is to serve those who need career and technical education. The average age of Shasta’s 15,000 students is 31. People come to the college who have lost jobs and need new skills. “We give second and third chances,” Lewis says. Many veterans are also enrolled; Lewis recently met with the State Department of Veterans Affairs to seek ways to better serve their unique needs.

Lewis is proud of the college’s socioeconomically diverse student body. In today’s rapidly changing job climate, lifelong learning is the norm, and Shasta attempts to keep up with constantly emerging technologies. For example, it’s offering new classes in solar and wind technology.

The demand for welders and metal fabricators is so hot that students often get a job before they even finish the rigorous certification program under Mark Smith. In the huge diesel technology shop, sponsors such as Lincoln Electric, Cummins West and Peterson Tractor donate much of the expensive heavy equipment. During a recent tour, Lewis pointed out a bin of scrap metal that has been donated by local businesses that support the welding program, thus saving the college money in a program where all the machinery is costly. Shasta’s certificate programs include those in Automotive Technology and Fire Technology.

The college spans 10,500 square miles, an area the size of Massachusetts, and its geography includes winter snow, treacherous mountain roads and vast distances. So the college has developed ways to reach students with five satellite campuses in downtown Redding (Health Sciences), Red Bluff, Burney, Weaverville and on the Hoopa reservation in Humboldt County. In addition to regular classes at these campuses, interactive television enables students and teachers to meet in real time and to “see” and hear each other. A large TV screen shows the professor, and when a student from a distant campus asks a question using a microphone, a camera focuses on the student, enabling the professor to see the student as well as hear him or her. This system has been in place for 10 years and was made possible by a $600,000 grant from the McConnell Foundation.

Shasta College also has 120 students who live on campus dorms during the school year. This includes 50 international students, hailing from countries including China and Egypt. Some of the students are in the United States participating in the prestigious U.S. State Department Initiative for Egypt program and its partners.

Whether students are pursuing a rigorous academic program, are intent on transferring to a four-year college, or need skills that will give them more immediate job training, Shasta College welcomes them. Lewis is proud of the faculty’s dedication and “accessibility.”

“They develop relationships and mentor students,” he says – students like Dr. John Caton and thousands of others who now give back to their communities, grateful for the firm foundation that they received at Shasta College. • www.shastacollege.edu

Of all fair rivers I have known, no fairer waters than thine own.

~Alfred Gilis, Wintu Poet

fallingforyou T he R ushing Waters of M cC loud Falls

At 14, Jeff Summers felt hands push him into the swimming hole below Lower Falls for the first time. He’s been going back ever since, now introducing his children to his favorite swimming place. Lower Falls on the McCloud River is at the bottom of a three-step series of waterfalls, which cascade through a forest canyon on the east side of Mount Shasta.

The top stair is Upper Falls. Here, the water moves in a lazy pattern across a lava skirt. Mt. Shasta looms between the tree branches as the quiet of the water belies the power it possesses before moving into a narrow rock channel, churning into a white froth before plunging into a deep emerald pool below. The roar of the spring thaw is deafening, sounding like a beast as the river comes alive, snaking through the canyon.

In 1829, Hudson Bay Company trappers Peter Skeen and Alexander McLeod stood in this valley, finding a community of Native Americans whose days were spent along the river. The river at the time teemed with salmon, as herds of elk grazed along the grassy fields outside the woods. Now the Summers’ children’s voices mingle with the history here, carrying the river into yet another generation.

The trail moves along the edge of the canyon, dropping against the dark moss covered walls of rock, appearing as the foundation of an ancient castle. Each falls can be accessed by its own parking lot and the trails nearest each falls are paved and lined with steel safety railings, making the path easy to travel to the observation areas. The sound of the river follows with the changing pitches of the water as one travels.

55 Enjoy July 2010

Middle Falls is the largest of the three. In summer, the drop reaches 46 feet with 100 feet of curtained water. Anglers on the rocks below look for trout as the green forest grows in the summer heat on the walls around them. Deer dash across the path, wary of hikers, but brave enough to take notice of those around them. The Summerses walk slowly down the path, each child noticing a different detail of the world unfolding around them.

Between Middle and Lower Falls is Fowler’s Campground. The 39 spaces lay along two loops of the road, recalling the days when Fowler’s Hotel stood here, welcoming guests who wished to vacation near the water. The hiking trail follows the edge of the campground, with only a five-minute walk to Lower Falls.

The view of Lower Falls is like a dream. The Summers’ first child, Zack, stands on the trail above and sums it up: “Cool.”

As the children descend the walkway to the bowl of water beneath the falls, their father, Jeff, calls out, “I used to come here every Memorial Day and the water was so cold.”

A wooden jumping platform is built into the volcano-poured patio surrounding the falls. Here, kayakers navigate over the edge of rushing water, hoping to land upright. Fishermen come early to find the allusive German Brown trout. One can easily think of the Native American Wintu tribe, which called this place home, referring to Lower Falls as Nurum-wit-ti-dekki: “Falls where the salmon turn back.”

Watching his children play in the cool of the water, Summers remembers the day he first fell in and says, “Growing up in McCloud, this has always been the place to go.” •

J ohn lee H ooker jr . more than a blues artist Even if he dreamed it as a kid growing up on the tough streets of Detroit, John Lee Hooker Jr. says he never would have said a word about being an animated blues superhero. “People would have laughed.”

There’s no laughing now. Hooker is “Bluesman,” a cool-as-ice character who plays the blues at night and fights crime during the day. “Not that I could stop bullets or anything, but I’m super bad,” Hooker says during a telephone interview from his Sacramento home. “For the first time ever in the history of the blues, I’m the first blues superhero in a graphic cartoon.”

Fortunately for music fans, the real-life, three-dimensional artist will be appearing July 24 in Dunsmuir’s Botanical Gardens to headline the fifth annual Mossbrae Music Festival. The Dunsmuir-based jazz-folk duo of Allison Scull and Victor Martin will open, backed by the musicians who perform on their “Cool Like the Breeze” recording.

The cartoon was conceived by French graphic artist Laurent Mercier, the son of a jazz-playing contemporary of Hooker’s father, as a way for both men to pay tribute to their fathers.

Hooker is the son of John Lee Hooker, a pioneering bluesman who was the son of a Mississippi sharecropper. The elder Hooker left home at age 15 and finally landed in Detroit in 1948, where he made a name for himself with his distinctive guitar playing and singing. He went on to record more than 100 albums, featuring hits like “Boogie Chillen” (1948) and “Boom Boom” (1962), and was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

Hooker toured with his father in his teen years and at age 18 sang alongside his dad on the “Live at Soledad Prison” recording. A promising career was quickly derailed by drugs, alcohol, divorce, incarceration and homelessness. Hooker found redemption in music, his faith and the support of friends and family, and he mounted a comeback with the 2004 release of “Blues with a Vengeance.”

Hooker followed up with “Cold as Ice” in 2006 and “All Odds Against Me” in 2008. His latest recording is “Live From Istanbul.” “It was a wonderful experience,” Hooker says of his time in Turkey, where he learned that the appreciation of blues music knows no political or religious boundaries.

“I had never been to that part of the world. They had some great mosques there. I was awakened at 5 a.m. with the call to prayer. The people loved us.

We could go back tomorrow and it would be the same thing,” Hooker says.

The scene was quite a departure from the typical nightclub. “People knew that this might be the last time they might be able to witness this type of extravaganza and they gave it their all. It’s unexplainable, just something that

one never forgets for the rest of their life.”  continued on page 49

Hooker said he’s never struggled while following his father’s legendary footsteps. “I am who I am. I don’t try to be who I am, I am who I am. There are some people who are impersonators, but it’s never been any trouble for me. We already had one John Lee Hooker, one B.B. King, one Eric Clapton, one Etta James. They only need one, they don’t need two. That’s what I’m about.

“I’m blessed with a talent. People know my name these days by what I’ve produced and put out. People come out because of my name. I’m not lucky, I’m blessed. I’m not a carbon copy of my father.”

Proceeds from the Mossbrae Music Festival help support the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce, including operation of its visitors’ center, says Denise Bailey, the chamber’s office manager.

“The profits help us get through the last little bit of winter,” she says.

The festival venue is a heavenly 10 acres of flowers, trees, shrubs, benches, statues and more, all with the crystal clear upper Sacramento River babbling along in the background.

“It’s nice. It’s the right temperature, the sun’s there for a little bit, you usually get a chance to meet the artist. It’s just a really kicked back, relaxed atmosphere,” Bailey says. Adding to the ambiance will be the opportunity for refreshments from the Brown Trout Café, including a barbecue tri-tip meal. Ice cream, beer, wine, soft drinks and water also will be available. •

Tickets are $27.50 in advance at the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce, 5915 Dunsmuir Ave., and $33 at the gate.

G O I N G G R E E N A N D LO O K I N G G O O D There’s more to going green than simply setting out your recycling every week and turning off the water while you brush those pearly whites. But now it’s easy to go green with so many cosmetics offering biodegradable packaging, organic ingredients, sulfate-free formulas and cruelty-free products. Also, many companies provide recycling incentives. For example, bring six empty MAC containers back and receive a free lipstick! Now that’s something we all can feel good about.

Here are a few products to help you create a light but flawless summer look, while staying gorgeously green. A beautiful lightweight moisturizer, which has an SPF 25 and is wonderful under makeup, is Kimberly Sayer’s Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer (check out www. kimberlysayer.com for more of her award-winning, organic skin and body products).

The perfect summer organic foundation is Vapour Beauty’s Atmosphere Luminous Foundation stick – easy to travel with and creates even coverage with a beautiful glow. Go to gorgeouslygreen. com and receive a coupon.

For eye shadow, try Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Eye Shadow Duo in “Brown Eyes,” a universal color anyone can wear.

For a natural-looking all-over body tan, try The Organic Pharmacy’s Self Tanner—it goes on beautifully, doesn’t streak and doesn’t smell bad. For sunless tanners, look for products that contain natural ingredients, such as vegetable-derived DHA (Dihydroxyactone) and

the sugar agent Erythrulose, a safe alternative to chemical tanners.

Lavera makes a great sunless tanner and the products can now be found at Target. They’re all 100 percent chemical free and non-toxic, and the brand was named Europe’s Greenest.

Also at Target, try the new spherical lip balms by EOS. They are 95 percent organic, 100 percent natural, and petrolatum- and parabenfree. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, they keep lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

The shape is wonderful for application and kids love it.

So we have your face covered, but what about your hair? Well, you’ll be excited by what’s NOT in Eufora haircare – artificial colors and fragrances. It’s full of botanical extracts and essential oils, and your hair will feel amazingly soft after you use Pure Cleanse Shampoo and Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment. The Sculpture Styling Glaze holds a style, and Illuminate Shine Mist adds luster, both without any product residue. Find the entire line at the Velvet Loft salon (1790 California St., Redding).

Many of these products can also be found at the Dermstore in Redding (or go to Dermstore.com). The website is easy to navigate, with user-friendly eco-categories, such as “cruelty-free,” “vegan,” and “paraben-free.” No more guessing what really is 100 percent natural or organic. Feel beautiful and guilt-free by making just a few changes to your beauty regimen. We promise you won’t smell like patchouli! •

If you are looking for a little variety in your grilling menu, consider eggplant. This versatile vegetable with a firm texture easily holds up to grilling and is a great, easy-to-grow summer treat. Eggplants are simple to prepare with olive oil, salt and pepper, but will serve up nicely with spicy, smoky, more flamboyant flavors.

These recipes are both easy to prepare. The stacks can be served as an impressive appetizer, or prepare as a dramatic salad atop a bed of crisp peppery arugula… a perfect beginning to dinner.

The tower of grilled eggplant rounds with fresh cheese, herbs and sauce is simple, yet elegant – worthy of taking center stage on your guest’s dinner plate. This vegetarian dish can serve as the main attraction, or as a nice side when served alongside grilled chicken, Italian sausage or a hearty steak.

Enjoy.

Grilled Eggplant Stacks Ingredients: 2 - 1 lb, firm unpeeled eggplants, sliced horizontally ½” thick, 10 -12 slices Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 large tomatoes, sliced horizontally ¼” thick, 4-5 slices (try heirloom if you have) 1 cup soft, mild goat cheese 1 small garlic clove, minced 15 large basil leaves ¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese ¾ cup Tomato Topping (recipe below) Tomato Topping Ingredients (makes about ¾ cup): ¾ lb ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and seeded, coarsely chopped 1 small garlic clove, minced 1 T extra-virgin olive oil ½ tsp. salt, or to taste ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper Combine tomatoes, garlic and olive oil in bowl of food processor. Process until smooth. Add salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for one hour before serving.

(Can be made one day in advance. Cover and refrigerate.)

Serve at room temperature.

RECIPES

G rilled Eggplant Stacks with tomato topping Prepare Eggplant: Preheat oven to 400 or prepare grill to medium high heat. Lightly brush both sides with about 2 T olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking tray if using oven. Bake on an oiled baking sheet, turning once, until golden and tender, 20 to 30 minutes. If grilling, turn once or twice, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to platter to cool. Arrange Stacks: Combine garlic and goat cheese in a small bowl. Add fresh ground black pepper and salt to taste. Arrange half of the eggplant slices on platter. Spoon 2 tsp. goat cheese mixture over each. Top with a large basil leaf. Place tomato slice over basil. Spread 2 tsp. cheese mixture over tomato. Top with a large basil leaf.

Place second eggplant slice on basil leaf. Top with one tsp. goat cheese and basil leaf. Top with 2 - 3 tsp. of the Tomato Topping, over and around the eggplant stack. Garnish with 1 tsp. grated cheese. Serve immediately.

Serves 4-5, depending on eggplant.

E ggplant Towers Prepare Eggplant and Vegetables: Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat or the oven to about 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides with about 2 T olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If using portobellos, slice mushrooms into long thin slices. For bell peppers, cut into large diced chunks. Drizzle these vegetables with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Grill or oven-roast

Eggplant Towers Ingredients: 2 - 1 lb, firm unpeeled eggplants, sliced horizontally ½” thick, 10 -12 slices 1 Portobello mushroom cap, optional ½ red or yellow bell pepper, optional for garnish Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1½ cups homemade or store-bought tomato-basil pasta sauce 1 - 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese ½ lb arugula, coarse stems discarded, coarsely chopped Fresh basil leaves, for garnish 67 Enjoy July 2010

vegetables on baking sheet about 20 minutes. For eggplant, bake on an oiled baking sheet, turning once, until golden and tender, 20 to 30 minutes. If grilling, turn once or twice, until golden brown and soft in the middle. Remove vegetables from grill or oven and wait until they are just cool enough to handle.

Arrange Towers: To assemble, for placement on a long narrow platter, place in a row four of the larger grilled eggplant slices or one each grilled eggplant slice on four individual plates.If using mushrooms, top each with several thin strips. Next, spoon about 2 T tomato sauce on top of each eggplant and mushrooms tower. Spoon and gently spread a dollop (about 2 T) ricotta cheese over the sauce. Place another, smaller slice of eggplant on top of the cheese and repeat, ending with tomato sauce and cheese. Garnish with roasted bell peppers and fresh basil, if desired. Drizzle additional tomato sauce around the plate for presentation. Serve immediately.

What’s In Store

A LOOK AT WHAT’S IN STORE name JAMES MAZZOTTA occupation DIRECTOR / BUYER, ENJOY THE STORE

“Our philosophy is that this is the people’s store.”

GET INSPIRED BY J A M E S M A Z Z OT TA A N D E N J OY T H E S TO R E

James Mazzotta favors a tree analogy when talking about InHouse Marketing Group and its Enjoy magazine. He says the 3 1/2-year-old magazine is represented by the foliage, the downtown Redding offices serve as the sturdy trunk and the roots are symbolized by the ongoing promotion of a vibrant and healthy community. Those roots are going to go a little deeper this summer with the unveiling of Enjoy the Store, a little shop adjacent to the InHouse office on Placer Street in the Cascade Square development, where readers and website visitors can browse among regionally produced items that have been featured in the magazine.

There are a lot of talented people in Northern California that produce things in their homes, garages and studios that really deserve to be seen and purchased,” Mazzotta says. “Our philosophy is that this is the people’s store. We’re just allowing people to put their products in and gain some exposure.”

Once up and running, Mazzotta envisions a unique retail experience where shoppers can pick from regionally produced olive oils, chocolates, vinegars, nuts, CDs and books as well as handcrafted jewelry, clothes, scarves, gloves, hats and jackets. Enjoy the Store’s inventory will be limited only by the creativity of the artists, growers, builders and crafters who will fill its shelves.

To help promote the store and its unique wares, the magazine will be publishing a monthly two-page “What’s in Store” feature that will spotlight a product and its producer. “It will be an in-depth look at this person and what makes them tick,” Mazzotta says. “What are their goals? Their inspirations? The store’s purpose is to support them in their adventure.”

Happenings at the store will be included in the once-monthly Monday morning broadcasts of Free Fire Radio (KCNR 1460 AM) hosted by Carl and Linda Bott from 7:30 to 8 am as well as in store meet and greet opportunities.

Enjoy the Store also will be supported by a website that will allow visitors a chance to learn more about the featured artists, crafters and producers and make secure purchases. The store’s inventory, which will change with the season and the artists’ output, will be listed on the website and in each issue of Enjoy.

“It’s a modern rendition of a small-town classic,” says Mazzotta, paraphrasing a term coined by Yvonne Mazzotta, his wife and Enjoy magazine co-publisher.

Mazzotta says the store will offer a distinctive gift-buying opportunity he’s calling BYOB (for “build your own basket”) that will allow shoppers to design and fill gift baskets “to create a unique gift for somebody that’s thought out.”

The baskets will double as little “the-North-State’s-best” ambassadors. Mazzotta says a gourmet food connoisseur might enjoy a basket with hand-blown goblets and gourmet olives, nuts, cheeses and other delicacies.

Each basket will include a copy of the current issue of Enjoy and information on each of the enclosed items. Mazzotta sees the baskets serving as thank-you gifts and as recruiting tools for local firms hoping to lure professionals to the Redding area.

Mazzotta and the InHouse Marketing team—including copublisher Michelle Adams, art director Matt Briner and managing editor Ronda Ball—plan to use the store as a tool for building mutually beneficial relationships with vendors.

“We hope to attract great but under-marketed products that we can work with to create world-class designs,” says Mazzotta, referring to his tree roots analogy and the concept of creating business opportunities by helping others to grow.

The store is a natural extension of both InHouse Marketing and Enjoy magazine, Mazzotta adds. “We are inspired by this community and think it’s a wonderful place to live. We have gifted people on our staff, and the magazine and store are outlets to share our gifts and passion, uplift the community and support what’s going on.” •

ingoodhealth mercy family health residency

Mercy Redding Family Practice Residency Program has been training skilled and compassionate physicians to help serve the community’s health needs since 1975.

Affiliated with the University of California, Davis, the residency program educates residents to work effectively in both rural and suburban areas, with the goal of serving Northern California’s underserved populations. With the guidance of core faculty and community doctors, residents care for patients at Mercy Family Health Center, Shasta Community Health Center, Mercy Maternity Clinic and Hill Country Community Clinic in Round Mountain.

Program Director Dr. Duane Bland believes that the residency program helps to meet Mercy Medical Center Redding’s vision: “A growing and diversified healthcare ministry distinguished by excellent quality and committed to expanding access to those in need.”

Dr. Bland himself trained at the residency program in Redding.

After graduation, he moved back to his home state of Washington, first working as the medical director of Community Migrant Health Center and later joining a private practice.

Dr. Bland enjoys patient care; he also likes being involved in the big picture of medicine, teaching residents and working on administrative projects. Wanting to use all his talents and having enjoyed the faculty and staff at Mercy Redding Family Practice residency program, he returned to work as a faculty member. In 2003, he became the program director.

Dr. Bland is far from being the only residency program graduate who has decided to make Northern California his home. In fact, the resident program fills much of the need for family doctors in the North State. Many go into private practice, while others continue working with the underserved. All the physicians at Hill Country Community Clinic and the Redding Rancheria and most new doctors at Shasta Community Health Center are graduates of the residency program.

“Our 10 to15 percent annual growth in service would not have been possible without the help and support of the Residency Program,” said Dean Germano, CEO of Shasta Community Health Center.

Shasta Community Health Center physician and Mercy Redding Family Practice residency graduate Jolene Kingsley says, “With the craziness of the current economy and health care system, I hope I never lose sight of what drew me to primary care in the first place: the families in need and the special doctor-patient bond.”

During residency, Dr. Kingsley recalls one morning the in clinic after being up all night delivering babies. “I was doing a routine female exam when I found a breast lump on a very nice, young, single mother.” This woman was the first patient Dr. Kingsley had to tell she had cancer. “I tried to choose my words carefully, and I struggled to keep back the tears when she hugged me. Later, I was able to assist in her breast surgery and see her through chemotherapy.”

Nine years later, Dr. Kingsley continues to provide health care for this patient and her daughter. Dr. Kingsley feels grateful for the opportunity to know her patient and see her go through different stages in life. Dr. Kingsley also provided hospice care for the patient’s mother, who later passed away.

Dr. John Coe, preceptor and graduate from the residency program, believes working with patients as a family physician is a privilege. “I get to be with patients during their most vulnerable times, their best and their worst,” he says. He chose family medicine because he enjoys the “longitudinal relationships” he gets to build with his patients.

My patients and I “are on this journey together. I get to follow it all the way from birth to death.”

Marcella Bishop, who works as a home daycare provider, has had her healthcare needs met by residents and graduates of the residency program. Years ago, she saw then-resident Dr. Mark Edwards at Mercy Family Health Center. “He was courteous and efficient, guiding me through necessary steps which brought me back to health,” she says.

Later, when she needed a primary healthcare provider, she went to Shasta Community Health Center. “Someone had recommended Dr. Jill Friesen… she has been my primary physician for over five years.

She’s kind, and knowledgeable – an excellent doctor. I feel blessed to have her as my doctor.”

Over the years, Bishop has been seen by four other graduates of the residency program. She says, “We are fortunate to have this program in our midst.” • www.redding.mercy.org

After almost fifteen years out of the area, it was nice to return home to the North State to discover a local, professional publication.

Each month, I look forward to the various articles featuring local businesses, upcoming events and intriguing personal stories. After opening the Centre for Facial Plastic Surgery, Enjoy Magazine was the first publication I thought of to begin advertising my services available to North State residents.

I have been ecstatic with the positive patient response!

Thanks and keep up the good work!
