There is something about singing at Carlino’s that is unlike any other club. It is truly intimate like playing for a private party. Everybody’s happy!

FUN FEST ACADEMY SPONSOR
“If we’re having fun, you’re having fun,” is certainly true in entertainment. It’s our job as a band to generate excitement and help create a memorable night for everyone when Sapphire Soul performs at Rolling Hills Casino and Resort. When we see a room full of smiling faces and people dancing, it pumps up the fun factor volume. Excitement builds excitement.
I’m proud when Rolling Hills Casino hires my band because I know only bands that meet strict criteria get the opportunity to play here. Bands have to be professional, polished and popular. They have to play the type of music that appeals to the musical tastes of the audience. Most of all, they have to create a party atmosphere that keeps guests wanting to come back for more.
When you enter Rolling Hills Casino it’s like our own Las Vegas, California. We have it all… entertainment, wonderful food, convenient lodging, gaming and a great place to meet your friends!
We love playing at Rolling Hills Casino. The friendly, welcoming atmosphere makes it a pleasure to be here. The staff is great and the audience is fantastic.
Surprise your friends with a limo ride… fancy designated drivers are always classy.
Rolling Hills Casino has live music most Friday and Saturday nights in Carlino’s Event Center, a smokefree venue that is perfect for special occasions as well as a night on the town. Unlike most nightclubs, the room is set up as if it were a private party instead of a typical bar. There’s almost always a full house, and people come ready to have a good time on and off the dance floor. Carlino’s is a sure bet for fun for both bands and audiences. For the best country, classic rock and R&B bands in the North State, it’s better to play at Rolling Hills Casino.

Want to add some fish stories to your repertoire? We’ll tell you about some of the North State’s finest spots for angling. “A lot of guys will drive five, eight hours to fish the rivers we have five minutes away. I can drive 10 minutes and I’m fishing for 20-plus-inch rainbows, and that’s pretty unique,” says Zack Thurman of The Fly Shop. Talk about lucky. You’ll also think you’ve stumbled upon the pot of gold if you find yourself with tickets to “A Touch of Classical Piano,” featuring pianists from all over the world who come to honor their instructor and muse, Redding’s Duane Hampton. “He has a love for the music, and it’s completely sincere – and his ego never gets in the way,” says student Allan Samuel Knight. “He’s a born teacher. He brings out the best in me.” Kids who want to learn more about the big, wild world around them will think they’re the luckiest kids alive when they set out for Kids Outdoor Sports Camp, where they learn to play creatively, fish skillfully and care for the earth responsibly. Sweet tooth? You’re in luck yet again – it’s Girl Scout cookie time! If you’re jonesing for a Thin Mint or a Samoa, keep an eye out. We’ll tell you more about how the sales benefit local youth. (And yes, there’s an app for that!) Lucky, too, are the chickens who wander freely around the Lazy 69 Ranch near Round Mountain. They show their appreciation by laying the tastiest eggs you’ve ever tried. As the old Irish blessing states, “May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.” Enjoy!

Music
S hasta C eltic S ociety and jefferson pipe band Bob Skinner’s relationship with the bagpipes began as a boy when his father, an ex-Marine, would talk about how bagpipers would lead British Marines off a ship. “When we were kids and the pipes were playing, we’d have to stop and listen to them. I’ve always loved them.” Peggy Randolph has become so passionate about Scottish country dancing that she sets her vacation itineraries around dance opportunities. “Take your shoes, put ’em in your suitcase and you can travel the world Scottish country dancing,” says Randolph, who managed to spend half her time dancing during a recent three-week trip to the Czech Republic. Holly Hooton went to a bagpipe concert at Redding’s Old City Hall some 10 years ago and since then she’s been hooked on the music of Scotland and Ireland, as well as everything else Celtic. All three have found a home for their passions in the Shasta Celtic Society, a non-profit organization established in 1996 to promote Celtic culture in the North State. The club currently has about 90 members and is always on the lookout for new recruits. The best part? Actual Celtic ancestry is not a requirement for membership. “The main requirement is a passion for all things Celtic,” says Hooton, the society’s president, who adds that its members “love to laugh, to get together and play music. Just to be a little part of that is very special.” Bob Elrick, one of the group’s charter members, said the society’s origins go back to Marcia Green and Donne Strong, a pair of Celtophiles who ventured to the Highland Games in Santa Rosa in 1995 and returned to Redding with the goal of encouraging Celtic culture in Redding. The two booked Ed Miller, a Scottish troubadour, for a concert at the Red Lion Hotel. “They paid for it off of their credit cards—that’s how keen they were. It was pretty successful, and about 100 people showed up,” Elrick says. Meetings were held, goals were set, officers were elected and soon the society was accorded non-profit status. As it grew, it began bringing more Celtic performers to town and hosting an annual Robert Burns Supper in honor of the famous Scot poet. Held each year in January, the festive dinner event includes the serving of haggis—a traditional porridge—and a recitation of Burns’ ode to the dish that begins “Bless your honest, handsome face, Great chieftain of the pudding race!” As the Shasta Celtic Society continued to grow, so did the Shasta Scots bagpipe band, which had formed a year or two earlier. The band, which is affiliated with the society, was started by Bob Skinner, Rob Jeffs, Doug Gordon, George Thompson and one or two others. continued on page 18
March 2012 Enjoy 17
The Shasta Scots became the Jefferson Pipe Band when Jeffs, one of the key players, relocated to Medford and Elrick proposed the name change to cover both the northern and southern contingents. When schedules allow and both camps get together to perform, the band has as many as 25 players, says Elrick, who serves as the pipe major for the southern group. The band is a regular at the Redding Rodeo Parade, Ashland’s Fourth of July parade, Burney Basin Days and Anderson Rotary’s wild game feed. “We pipe in the pig for that,” Elrick says. As a member of the Western United States Pipe Band Association, the Jefferson pipers compete in sanctioned events, including the Sacramento Valley Scottish Games & Festival on April 28-29 at the Yolo County fairgrounds in Woodland. And, as always, the Redding contingent of pipers and drummers once again will be busy on St. Patrick’s Day with stops scheduled at C.R. Gibbs, the Alehouse and Shameless O’Leery’s Irish Pub. Elrick, who says he had wanted to learn how to play the pipes since he heard them as a child in his native England, started taking lessons from Skinner in 1993. Skinner, a longtime pharmacist, picked up the pipes in 1984. “I’ve always loved the sound of them,” Skinner says. Intrigued by the instrument as a child, his interest grew in college when one of his roommates, an Irishman, would play the bagpipes. During an internship in Monterey, Skinner was watching a parade and when the Salinas Valley Highlanders came marching down the street, he was sold. “I’ve never regretted it. It’s been a fun thing to do. My only regret is I didn’t learn when I was 16,” says Skinner, who adds that there’s truth to the axiom that the bagpipes take seven years to learn, seven years to figure out and seven years to master. 18 Enjoy March 2012
“The perfect age to really start getting interested is 12 or 13. If you have somebody who can teach you some good fundamentals at that age, it’s amazing what you can play when you become 30.” Jefferson Pipe Band members can put their talents to the test on March 3 during the inaugural solo piping competition at Old City Hall that is being cosponsored by the Siskiyou Pipers, a band composed of Cal Fire firefighters from throughout the North State. “This is going to be the first-ever bagpipe competition north of Woodland in California. I’m extremely excited about this,” Skinner says. The Shasta Celtic Society also promotes Scottish country dancing, a traditional form of folk dancing that can be picked up in a matter of months, says Randolph, who teaches the dance along with Jacquie Whittingham. Lessons are taught each Thursday from September until June at the Millville Grange Hall in Palo Cedro. Randolph says beginners are encouraged to start classes in September while more experienced dancers are welcome to start in at any time. The Scottish country dancers, adorned with their tartans, typically perform during an afternoon tea held each year around Mother’s Day that attracts about 80 people, including members of the Jane Austen Society. • www.shastacelts.org www.jeffersonpipeband.org Shasta Celtic Society (530) 515-8692

sc u lptor and Painter jay m u rphy
“Exaggeration, I’ve found, makes for good art.” —Jay Murphy
To enter the world of artist Jay Murphy is to experience a place of wonder, imagination, and, yes, exaggeration. The prolific sculptor and painter has transformed his Red Bluff home into a gallery of what he terms his Sculptural Eccentrics, creating an atmosphere that at first feels whimsical but deepens upon closer inspection. “It was fitting to me that the word itself encompasses almost anything,” he says of the word “eccentric.” “It won’t fit in one category. Eccentric is a pretty large category so my work all fits into it.” While the home may look like a gallery, it operates outside the typical gallery rules. Here, you are free to touch the work. “It honors a piece when you touch and feel a sculpture,” he says. It also honors a piece when people delight in an eccentric enough to take it home. “I enjoy sending them off to new homes, I really do,” he says of the characters he creates. “I have produced enough. After enough, you want them to move on. You want the pleasure of creating rather than holding on.” The 58-year-old realized his calling as an artist when he began his first painting at age 18. That piece hangs in his home studio, surrounded by several others he’s created over the years. The Redding native spent one year at Chico State University, but says, “I found myself at odds with the requirements and controls, so really I tried to please myself first.” He left college but says, “pursuing my work to please myself has developed my skills.” He’s also found that “good camaraderie with other artists and people who are interested” has developed him as an artist, including study with Paul Rideout, who introduced him to raku, at a Shasta College ceramics course taught in Red Bluff. He eventually completed an associate in arts degree at Shasta College. “I’ve always paid attention to my dreams and they have been an inspiration,” he adds. The promise of dreams permeates the work of Murphy, who has learned through a Chinese sisterin-law that one translation of his last name in Chinese characters uses the symbols for “dream to fly.” This phrase has become the title of a large, octagonal stained glass window he designed for his bedroom and a sort of mantra for the rest of his work. “If there was a changing point in my life,” he says, “it was 1982 when I realized I could no longer drink. It was after that dramatic change that I needed my art as a therapy – therapy in the sense that I could feel proud of something, build self-esteem.” continued on page 22
March 2012 Enjoy 21
“Eccentric is a pretty large category so my work all fits into it.”
After a career of more than 20 years in building maintenance at various school districts, Murphy is now privileged to live in retirement with his partner Elizabeth Brown, a visual arts teacher at Redding School of the Arts. “For the last several years I’ve been the lifeline for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s,” he says. “She’s 83.” He is quiet for a moment as he finds words to describe the process and then says, “You’re trying to prevent catastrophe at every step.” He spends most mornings with his mother and the residents at her Redding facility and then returns to Red Bluff to pursue his art. “I don’t have to discipline myself to work at my art,” he says. “Usually if I have a project going, I want to go work on it.” The raku-fired pieces he creates take many hours to complete and he compares the process to the time a fisherman spends fishing. “The hours I spend doing it is my pleasure,” he says. While Jay would like to do more bronze work in the future, he currently moves between sculpture and painting. “I keep alternating,” he says. “I’ll work in clay for an extended period of time and then I’ll give myself a reward and start painting. After awhile, I’ll go back to sculpture.” Occasionally, he opens his home to guests for a celebration of art, and not just his own. While his own work certainly has the spotlight, Jay and Elizabeth are avid collectors and particularly appreciate the work of other North State artists, which are lovingly displayed throughout the home. On April 28, he welcomes the public to celebrate with him from 4 to 10 pm. Live music will play. For Jay, the celebration is as much for the stage of life he’s achieved as much as the art itself. “I have time to put as much attention as I want to the things in life I want,” he says. “Even with the ups and downs along the way, I’ve come to a very comfortable life. I’m very privileged right now.”• www.sculpturaleccentrics.com gojay@netzero.com; (530) 200-1409 710 Rio Street, Red Bluff (by appointment only) Open house: Saturday, April 28, 4-10 pm

Interest
laid in the u.s.a. L azy 6 9 R anch near R o u nd M o u ntain
It’s good to be a chicken … provided you’re a chicken living on Dan and Malinda Martin’s Lazy 69 Ranch near Round Mountain. During the daytime, the birds roam and forage freely along an oak and brush hillside some 20 miles east of Redding. At night, they return to the safety of coops that are less crowded than other poultry operations. After a couple of years laying eggs for Lazy 69, the birds are adopted by an organization that finds them new homes with “backyard enthusiasts.” Good food, freedom, a few emus and longhorn cattle roaming around, a retirement program – what’s not to love? Plus, the conditions all lead to an excellent product, says Dan Martin. “Our customers tell us our eggs taste better,” he says. “They notice the positive difference in texture.”
The Martins moved to the Round Mountain area in 2001 to form the Lazy 69 Ranch. Their certified organic brown eggs come from a flock of some 2,000 hens that are a cross between Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White. Martin says the breed tolerates weather extremes well and is a very efficient egg layer in proportion to its feed. Lazy 69 eggs are sold at Orchard Nutrition Center, Holiday Markets, Tops Fresh Market and Kent’s Meat and Groceries in Redding. They also sell their eggs through Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco. Aside from the satisfaction of supporting a local food producer, Lazy 69 customers can also rest easy knowing they’re supporting an environmentally sustaining business that’s not part of the farm subsidy chain. “Once you buy your eggs from us, they’re truly paid for,” Martin continued on page 26 March 2012 Enjoy 25
says. “There’s no lingering debt to something.” Lazy 69 uses a thick layer of pine shavings on the floors of its four large hen houses. The shavings combine with the chicken waste to form a nitrogen-rich mulch, which gets sold or traded to area farmers and gardeners. There’s not even an offending odor in the hen houses at Lazy 69. “To me, this is where food safety begins,” Martin says. “The fact that you can walk into this building and not smell much, I’m proud of that.” The Cornucopia Institute of Wisconsin, a non-profit advocacy group for both farmers and consumers, gave Lazy 69 a near-perfect score on its Organic Egg Scorecard. The five-egg rating, which considers factors like sustainability, cleanliness and safety, put Lazy 69 at the top of the list for small- and mediumfamily farmers. A former PG&E hydrologist, Dan Martin said his business is as fragile as the product he produces, however. Free-range chickens do attract the interest of predators such as bobcats, coyotes and feral dogs. “This is a high-risk operation,” he says. “We set our chickens free and that comes with some risks.” But the Martins enjoy leading by example for their kids, 7-year-old Wyatt and 4-year-old Ivy. They want to show them that hard work and following a dream can still pay off in America. Independent food producers face uphill battles amid regulations and bureaucracy stacked against smaller, non-corporate producers. But Dan Martin says he likes being an underdog. He does it with style and humor. Lazy 69 t-shirts feature Uncle Sam with an egg in his hand and a chicken on the shoulder with the slogan, “Laid in the U.S.A.” Lazy 69 Ranch is also known for its grass-fed beef program, but the Martins are transitioning out of the cattle business to focus solely on eggs. Fellow rancher Henry Giacomini of Hat Creek Grown will buy out the rest of Martin’s herd and continue distribution of natural grass-fed beef to stores like Orchard and Tops. • www.Lazy69Ranch.com hatcreekgrown.com Jim Dyar is a freelance writer, musician and a former arts and entertainment editor at the Record Searchlight.

S mart A lternative F u els— H elping to K eep the N orth S tate G reen Vegetable oil: It will fry your fish and chips to a crispy golden brown, and then it will power your truck for a fraction of what you pay for diesel fuel. Take Jayson Nalley’s word for it. His company, Smart Alternative Fuels, collects waste vegetable oil from restaurants and turns it into fuel. It has about 100 clients in the North State, the Bay Area, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, and will expand to Southern California in June. The business started as a hobby – or perhaps more accurately, a way for Nalley to alleviate the frustration of pouring money into his gas tank. His job with a food service company had him constantly on the road. “I drove a Prius, but was still spending a bunch of money on fuel,” says Nalley, a West Valley High School graduate. “I bought a diesel truck and started picking up vegetable oil from restaurants that I sold to, and converted it to fuel.” People were intrigued by his idea, and Nalley realized that it held serious promise as a business. He gathered up some customers, brought a partner on board (CalTrans engineer Clint Burkenpas) and created an S-corporation in May 2011. They’re slowly adding more equipment to the plant on Clear Creek Road and are pursuing 30 Enjoy March 2012
further licensing, which will allow them to grow the business even more. Restaurants sell their used oil to Smart Alternative Fuels by emptying their fryers into a large metal container, and the company’s crew vacuums it out into a 1,000-gallon tanker. When it arrives at their shop, the oil goes into another tank where it settles. They spin it through a primary filter, then through a centrifuge unit at 6,000 revolutions per minute to get all of the particles out. “It’s finer than a coffee filter,” Nalley says. Then it’s ready to go into trucks that have been converted to run on vegetable oil. They fuel their own vehicles, then ship the rest to a partner in Southern Nevada who sells it. Nalley’s next big goal is to produce biodiesel, a $1 million project that he plans to complete by May. This synthetic form of diesel is created by using lye and methanol to make the oil thinner, he says. He’s planning to process more than 8,000 gallons of waste vegetable oil per week by then. He’ll be the only biodiesel producer north of Oakland, he says, and “after that, the sky’s the limit.” A key to the company’s success has been to lay plenty of groundwork. “Others build a plant, then seek the oil. We’re securing all of our sources, then opening a biodiesel company,” says Nalley, 37.
So how does a vehicle run on something that is typically used to make french fries? The vehicle simply needs to be converted to use it properly. Nalley’s truck has two tanks: The first contains regular diesel, which is used to start the vehicle. Once it gets hot, it automatically switches over to the vegetable oil tank. Voila – a vehicle that runs for a fraction of the cost of diesel and generates 70 percent less pollution than fossil fuel, he says. “It smells totally earthy,” Nalley says. “Waste vegetable oil is just clean oil. My truck runs smoother on vegetable oil than on diesel. I’m going down the road and not burning any fossil fuel. It’s pretty darn amazing.” This philosophy is a flashback to 1900, when Rudolf Diesel powered the first diesel prototype with biodiesel he made from peanut oil. In the 1920s, vehicles started using petroleum diesel. Today, demand for alternative fuels is growing. Federal mandates call for more biodiesel to be incorporated into diesel fuel, and biofuel was recently approved for use in aviation fuel. “People grow soybeans for it, but with the water and energy used, it’s not worthwhile. A waste product works really well,” Nalley says. Smart Alternative Fuels also does some social networking for its clients, believing that small businesses need to help each other. “If a
customer is offering Happy Hour, we showcase that on Facebook,” he says. “We always want to make the customer happy.” Christine Silver, executive chef at Tapas Downtown and Maxwell’s Downtown Eatery, can testify to that. “I love this service, as it gives Tapas and Maxwell’s another opportunity to be a participant in a greener, more environmentally considerate community,” she says. Nalley is striving to ensure that Smart Alternative Fuels sets the standard in its industry. “We want to make a difference and revolutionize the waste oil collection industry,” Nalley says. “We want to be the one that everyone else copies … we’ll be a milliondollar corporation started by two guys in Redding.” • www.smartalternativefuels.com Exceptional Living

The Desmond House isn’t your ordinary bed and breakfast. And owner Greg Reimann isn’t your ordinary host. For starters, the 1,400-square-foot house is small by bed-and-breakfast standards, with only two bedrooms for guests. And then there’s Reimann, a massage therapist by trade, who is divorced and does all the work associated with Desmond House on his own. Yes – all the booking, the cleaning, the breakfast preparation. He also did his Story all the decorating of the 107-year-old Queen Anne house that overlooks the Sacramento River on Redding’s Riverside Drive. And he turned what was GREG REIMANN’S once the home’s carriage house into his massage therapy space. DESMOND HOUSE In all fairness, Reimann does get a little help from longtime friend, Sandy Babcock of Redding, who balances his checkbook once a month because he’s not fond of the task. “It’s not anything complex,” she says. Reimann’s path to becoming an innkeeper began about eight years ago. He used to ride his bicycle past the house on his way to work at The Downtown Spa. He noticed the “for sale” sign on the trim little house that had always appealed to him. “I made the mistake of asking to see it and fell in love with it,” says Reimann, 56, with a grin. It was the beginning of a new life. Being a man who loves to do restoration, Reimann got to work, adding lots of cove molding and beadboard. He also painted the whole house. And being a man who loves antiques, he began looking for the eclectic pieces that now fill the home. He spent more than two years searching for period light fixtures for the entire house and bought some 20 Persian-style rugs for the floors. The results are impressive. “He’s really got a fantastic house; it’s gorgeous,” Babcock says. “The things he’s put in that house are unique. Many of them he has refinished himself.” Some of the pieces Reimann purchased weren’t always so beautiful. “He has an artistic eye and vision. He can take Reimann’s goal is to make something that appears worthless and turn it into a gorgeous their comfortable piece of furniture.” Reimann never intended to turn his home into a bed and and breakfast, but about three years ago the idea suddenly had great appeal. He named the two bedrooms “Desmond Room” boasts a bar, stools, wine racks and CD after John T. Desmond, the home’s original owner, and “Brooks Room” player.

He’s very accepting and puts kitchen. But the flip side is that I’ve made friends from all over,” adding people quickly at ease.

part predator do u g c u nningham shares his motorcyle part stat u e Doug Cunningham was startled when four squad cars parked single file in his narrow rural driveway. And as his comrades watched, one of the officers appeared to be flailing in the arms of a giant creature. Cunningham relaxed. He has come to expect scenes like this since erecting his Predator, a nine-foot mancreature statue built from scrap motorcycle parts, just southwest of the Clear Creek Bridge. “I knew when I bought it that others would have the same ‘wow’ reaction I had when I first saw it,” he says. He first saw the statue as he and girlfriend, Kellie Wakeland, zipped around an island called Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand on motorbikes. When they rounded a corner and came face to face with the Predator, Cunningham knew he had to have it. It turned out this amazing creature-like statue had many cousins and a creator by the name of Rungroja Saengwongpaisarn, a one-time wood carver turned metal sculptor. While still on the island, Cunningham was able to meet Saengwongpaisarn and visit his workshop of projects in progress. Texture-rich models of robots, aliens and exotic animals—even

History Lesson
T he old and new of the historic d u nsm u ir hotel In the canyon community of Dunsmuir, the steep, pine forest hills watch the city as cars speed up and down the interstate, passing by the treasures of a town which include the North State’s largest upside down hotel. Built in 1904, the Dunsmuir Hotel rise four stories above the Sacramento River, with is first floor on top, meeting the main street above. Dunsmuir is a city with layers of history. Traveling through the streets, the turn-of-the-century buildings are flanked with neighboring side roads of centuryold wooden buildings, midcentury houses, and recent additions of modernity. Across from the street from the hotel is the newly refurbished marquee of the California Theater, first lit in 1926. Built in 1904 by Abner Weed and called the Hotel Weed, the original brick building is in the Richardson Romanesque style. Brick arches and white-framed windows loom over the rail yard below. Its beginnings
were as an upright hotel, with the entrance below. However, in 1945, a more expansive lobby was added on top alongside the fourth story on Dunsmuir Avenue. The edition was done in the Art Moderne fashion, including rooftop parking. With the new lobby, the structure was renamed the Dunsmuir Hotel and the levels were renumbered, making the uppermost floor and entry way the first floor, with the elevator descending to the higher-numbered floors – all made possible by the steep incline of the city, which in one block rises to the height of the hotel. This is a town of bygone celebrities. At the baseball field, Babe Ruth played an exhibition game with local players. Clark Gable and John F. Kennedy both addressed crowds from the back of trains across the street from the hotel. Claudette Colbert introduced herself to the audience at the California Theater. Herbert Hoover slept a block away in the Traveler’s Hotel. continued on page 42 March 2012 Enjoy 41
In 1982, the business underwent another transformation, becoming the Dunsmuir Apartments. The structure holds onto it history and is joined with the rest of the district in the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Dunsmuir Hotel is again going through a remodel. Extensive work has overseen the repainting of the bricks, new painted white window frames, and the refurbishing of the ironwork. A large mural follows the rise of the southern street, depicting the Sacramento River and trains, which still flow together. This summer, an ice cream parlor will open by the lobby, its five stools and counter waiting for the laughter of families. The faux marble floor sparkles in the lobby, while the fireplace waits to be lit. Soon, the 36 rooms will be occupied again with senior housing. Already, events are planned for the lobby, including birthday parties, bingo games and the occasional movie night. At 112 years, the hotel 42 Enjoy March 2012
seems content to head into a new century. Dunsmuir has seen many changes since Native Americans first settled here. The community, once the largest in Siskiyou County, rests from those busy days, embracing the fishing, train whistles and mountain shadows which give the place the beauty of small-town America. The Dunsmuir Hotel stands in the center of living history and whispers the sentiments of author Mary Kelly, “I wish I could show you the little village where I was born. It’s so lovely there...I used to think it too small to spend a life in, but now I’m not so sure.”• Gary VanDeWalker grew up in Mt.

B O U N D L E S S O P P O R T U N I T I E S F O R F I S H I N G I N T H E N O R T H S TAT E When it comes to fishing in the North State, you can talk numbers, diversity, options, scenery and opportunities all you want. Zack Thurman prefers to talk proximity. “A lot of guys will drive five, eight hours to fish the rivers we have five minutes away. I can drive 10 minutes and I’m fishing for 20-plus-inch rainbows, and that’s pretty unique,” says Thurman, a former guide with The Fly Shop who now works with retail and online sales at the popular Redding store. Those rainbow trout are just the beginning, says Thurman. “Salmon, steelhead, shad, catfish—there are all sorts of species we fish for. Just to have all this in our back yard… we’re fortunate.” By no means is the good fishing limited to the Redding city limits, notes Steve Vaughn, a veritable one-man fishing institution in the Intermountain area who operated a sporting goods store in Burney for 54 years before retiring in January. A longtime guide who also dispensed plenty of free advice along with flies, lures, bait and tackle, Vaughn says the fishing opportunities in eastern Shasta County are almost too numerous to count. “Baum Lake is our number-one year-round fishery. It’s fantastic. Cassel is excellent, Hat Creek and Fall River always sound good to us. There’s always going to be decent fishing,” Vaughn says. The word is out, too. “We get ’em from all over the world. I’ve had people from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America…even some Chinese people. “Every one of them, without exception, has been so surprised at what they see and what they can do. People are surprised at how beautiful it is, how much there is to see and how many different waters there.” Vaughn’s neck of the woods also caters to anglers of all abilities. Fly fishermen can get their fill of match-the-hatch challenges on Hat Creek’s fly-only sections while kids can fill up a stringer with crappie or bluegill on Lake Britton or dunk a glob or two of Powerbait in Baum Lake and pick up some pan-sized trout stocked by the state Department of Fish and Game. State-of-the-art equipment is not required, either. “If you’ve got a cane
pole with a line and a hook on it, you can catch a fish,” Vaughn says. Fishing can be a fairly simple affair on Shasta Lake, the granddaddy of North State fishing holes. The massive reservoir features a species list that reads like a who’s who of sportfish: sturgeon, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, catfish, king salmon, kokanee (landlocked coho salmon), rainbow trout and German brown trout, to name a few. The fishing is particularly good on Shasta in the spring and early summer, when hungry trout and bass are near the water’s surface. Plastic worms, top-water baits like the Zara Spook and tubes like the Gitzit and Strike King are often effective for bass; trout are prone to nightcrawlers and the ubiquitous Powerbait. Inevitably, though, conversations about fishing in the region circle back to fly fishing, and it’s no wonder, with the Sacramento River offering up opportunities at every turn from its headwaters in Mount Shasta clear down to Red Bluff. In Redding, it’s rare for a day to go by when Sundial Bridge visitors can’t watch as fly fishermen in drift boats—or on foot in chest waders— offer hand-tied flies to sometimes discriminating trout in the hopes of tricking them into a strike. The river’s status as a must-fish destination for anglers is exemplified in the current Turtle Bay Exploration Park exhibit titled “Fly Fishing: The Art of Deception.” Presented by The Fly Shop, the exhibit considers the art, craft and science of fly fishing as well as the biology of the rainbow trout, “the most famous and widely distributed trout in the world.” The exhibit, which runs through April 15, will feature fly-tying demonstrations on weekends, an indoor casting area and a special “technology corner” where antique gear will be displayed alongside the latest technological innovations. • Jon Lewis has been a writer for the past 31 years, working at newspapers in Woodland, Davis, Vacaville and Redding.

d u ane hampton ’ s a to u ch of classical piano Kevin Woodruff travels from London to study piano with Duane Hampton. Matthew Adams comes from Los Angeles, and Allan Samuel Knight drives up from Sacramento. Nathaniel Bell is lucky enough to live in Redding, right where the master teacher resides. They, as well as other accomplished pianists who study with Hampton, will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. March 3 at the Cascade Theatre. Classics and original compositions will fill the musical menu of the annual “A Touch of Classical Piano,” presented by the Musical Arts League. Composed of Hampton students, the league formed in 1977 to foster appreciation of classical piano. The pianists are journeying to Redding to perform in what has become a tribute to their teacher and the opportunity to connect with other serious musicians. They are not paid for their performances, and all proceeds from the concert are donated to the Cascade Theatre. Hampton, a Redding legend, promises the concert is comparable to what one might hear in New York or Europe. Knight paused for a brief conversation during a recent practice session at Hampton’s Amelia Court home, which houses a studio with three pianos. Knight, 30, says he found his way to Hampton in
2006. “He has a love for the music, and it’s completely sincere – and his ego never gets in the way,” Knight says. “He’s a born teacher. He brings out the best in me, taking my best parts and polishing them.” Hampton urges pianists to select works they love for concert performances and believes it takes at least two years to prepare. Knight, who is married with two children and also does some computer work, said he’s at the piano about three hours a day but would prefer to be there for six or more. Hampton’s own musical journey began in Redding, where he was the youngest in a large, poor family. Teaching himself to play on an old piano, he constantly plied the keys. “My siblings thought I was from another planet,” he says. “They kept telling me to shut up and quit playing the piano.” The young prodigy performed with Paramount’s Stars of Tomorrow and graduated from Shasta High School. He was a frequent visitor to the Carnegie Library, where a music-loving librarian helped him locate books on harmony, theory and composition. continued on page 48 March 2012 Enjoy 47
He earned scholarships and went to Chicago’s Sherwood Conservatory of Music, where he studied, performed, composed and became a teacher himself. It was a heady, stimulating, miraculous period – and intensely satisfying. He remembers working most of the night as a typist for a magazine agency, taking classes, spending five hours a day at the piano and getting only two to three hours of sleep each night. “I ate it up. The people I met and the opportunities I had were incredible,” he says. “I was absolutely thirsty for knowledge.” Over the years, Hampton has studied with some of the world’s greatest teachers, including Artur Schnabel, Maurice Dumesnil, Dame Myra Hess and Guy Maier. He was discovered by a Steinway talent scout during a concert in San Francisco and signed as a Steinway artist. He spent three weeks on New York’s Long Island in 1947 while his piano was built around him. “They started with the shell of the piano and strings and then designed the action,” he says. “I played eight hours a day until they had everything worked out.” He “concertized” with that 9-foot Steinway until he was about 40. Wherever he performed, the piano went with him. A desire to put down roots led him to distance himself from performance and concentrate on his Hampton School of Music in Redding. Though officially retired, he maintains some 20 to 25

students. “They hear about who I have studied with, and they want to know what I know,” says the soft-spoken, gentlemanly Hampton. He has always welcomed beginning students, being a firm believer that a student’s motivation and the ability to concentrate trumps innate talent. He asks all of his students to compose music, and when playing, urges them to look out from the music, not just at it. “It’s as if you are the music,” he says. Hampton continues to compose (he’s written thousands, in every genre), travel and read from his immense library of classics and science. “There’s so much to learn. There are so many exciting things going on,” he says. • “A Touch of Classical Piano,” 7:30 pm March 3 at the Cascade Theatre in Redding, 1733 Market St. Tickets are $10 for ages 17 and under, $18 general admission, $25 loge. A Champagne reception with master teacher Duane Hampton and all the performers after the concert costs $5. Visit www.cascadetheatre.org or the theatre box office. All proceeds benefit the Cascade Theatre.

KIDS OUTDOOR SPORTS CAMP IN RED BLUFF Put away the electronic equipment and send the kids to camp! Kids Outdoor Sports Camp provides a setting to reconnect kids from ages 10-16 with the big, wild world, where they learn how to play creatively, hunt and fish skillfully, and care for the earth responsibly. It’s the 15-year project of a vigorous and active grandmother who continues to participate in every camp session right along with the staff and campers. Judy Oswald simply wanted a place for her grandchildren to learn how to hunt. Since she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she decided to create a camp where children could “engage in hunting and fishing opportunities, understand the importance of wildlife conservation management, learn to appreciate natural resources, and preserve our fishing and hunting heritage.” After visiting a camp in South Carolina with a vision similar to hers, where children learned in a hands-on setting about proper gun handling and safety, Oswald came home and went to work planning the first Kids Outdoor Sports Camp. The California Waterfowl Association board partnered with her in the beginning and continue to sponsor her efforts. Since then, she has created an independent nonprofit organization with a long list of sponsors, including California Department of Fish and Game and California Outdoor Heritage Alliance. Though Oswald lives in the Sacramento area, she found a perfect 50 Enjoy March 2012
location for the camp five miles west of Red Bluff at Red Bank Outfitters. The 4,000-acre ranch provides 14 fishing ponds, rifle and archery ranges, a trap shooting course and dormitory-style lodging. The camp launched in 1998 with a one-week camp and 16 campers. Red Bank Outfitters supplies the proficient staff, emphasizing safety above all else. They come with archery and firearm certifications, as well as CPR and first aid training. Oswald teaches the hunter education course. Certified in archery and shooting, she is also on the front lines teaching young campers. Beginning, Advanced and Hunt camps offer opportunities for campers at all skill levels. By the end of camp, beginners may earn their Hunter Education Certificates, a requirement before anyone can participate in an actual hunt. Advanced campers focus on honing their skills. Hunt camp takes kids out on one-on-one guided hunting experiences. Fishing and wildlife conservation are integral components of each camp. Stocked ponds promise almost certain success and a chance for kids to learn how to reel in their catches. A unique opportunity presented itself in 2011 when the camp hosted 32 students from Taiwan. Oswald said the kids loved to shoot, but “most important of all was …the stars.” One night, she got up to find about 15 of them sleeping on the ground in the parking lot so they could fall asleep under the stars. Since its inception, Kids Outdoor Sports Camp has grown to

include six weeks of camps and 200 kids participating each summer. “It’s the little things at camp that make the biggest impact on the kids,” Oswald says, including making homemade ice cream and the bus ride to point out wildlife. A huge trampoline on one pond provides summer fun in the hot Red Bluff sun and a time when “the kids can be kids,” she says. This year, in celebration of their 15th anniversary, alumni of all ages have been invited to go to South Africa on a safari from July 26 to August 7. Participants will learn about the people and culture of South Africa, as well as experience the wildlife and their habitat up close while they hunt. Oswald invites anyone who might like to go on safari with them to attend camp this summer to qualify for the trip. •

LADYLIKE { D A R K P O N Y D E S I G N S B Y R O B I N FAT O R }
There is a figurative dark horse in the North State’s emerging handcrafted movement and her name is Robin Fator. Except in this case, she might prefer to be called a Dark Pony. Fator, owner and designer of Dark Pony Designs, is making her mark on the fashion world one fabulous design at a time. With a name like Dark Pony Designs, one thing is for sure: there is a story behind the namesake. The name came from a 1930s storybook that her mom read to her as a child. The children in the story would ride the dark pony into Dreamland. “For me, the dark pony represents freedom, frivolity and fantasy for the fun of it. I love creating dress-up clothes. I live in a house full of boys, so this is an outlet for fun girly stuff,” says Fator. Fator, who considers herself a home-schooling mom and wife first and foremost, says her other roles as an artist, fashion designer, business person and organizer create a life of “hard work and discipline balanced with fun.” After taking a basic sewing class at Shasta College, she launched her online store in August 2009 on Etsy, a division of eBay which is geared to handcrafted and vintage items. “I started out making oneof-a-kind pieces only, infusing vintage items that could be recycled.
But as time has gone on, I have moved more into items that can be reproduced. Although it was difficult to have to leave the one-of-akind realm, I feel good knowing I am infusing eco-friendly materials into my creations. Eco-felt is one of the primary elements of my jewelry.” It is difficult for Fator to say which of her pieces has remained the closest to her heart, but it seems that a black-on-black satin and tulle bustier with black rhinestones maintains top billing. Sound like a lot of black? Exactly. That’s just what she loves about it. “There is a subtle contrast between the shiny circle of the rhinestone and the matte of the satin and tulle. It’s endlessly appealing.” Fator firmly believes that even in a smaller city like Redding, where some of her former Shasta College classmates insisted there was nothing here to inspire their art, there is inspiration to be found. “If you can’t find inspiration in your own backyard, then maybe you are doing the wrong thing,” she explains. The designer finds much of her artistic influence from pop culture, including fashion, music, movies, photography and avant garde abstract art. “I love Helmut Newton’s photography and Keith Herring’s grafitti art. Madonna, David Bowie, Elizabeth Taylor, continued on page 56

Maryiln Monroe, Gwen Stefani. Old Hollywood glamour and rock and roll. The 1920s circus vibe and even Marie Antoinette,” Fator says. And as varied as these influences may seem, every one of them can be found in her fun-filled, couture-inspired designs. Anna Dello Russo, the editor-in-chief and creative consultant of Vogue Japan, is someone that she admires. “She’s that woman that will arrive dressed to the nines at 9 am, not only in a sparkly cocktail dress, but an amazing hat with a veil - at 9 am! She’s in her 40s, she looks great and she’s completely unafraid,” Fator explains with excitement. It’s this kind of unabashed fearlessness that truly inspires Fator. “Some people are a bit afraid of trying something that makes a statement, because there is an element of potential failure. But for me, that’s part of the fun of it. You’ve gotta take a bit of a risk.” With a growing online business, in which nearly one-third of her sales are international, Fator is enchanted by the fact that her pieces could just as easily be going to a rural address as to a fancy metropolitan area. “I can’t say that there is a typical age range for my clients, but rather, a particular attitude. My clients want to make a statement. They want something fun to wear to a special occasion something memorable. They are seeking out something in which to celebrate.” When Fator isn’t creating her own fashion masterpieces, she is perusing the internet and staying abreast of the newest fashion from some of her favorite designers, including Dolce & Gabanna, Lanvin and the late Alexander McQueen. “With the rise of the internet, you could spend your whole life looking at the collections. It’s hard not to do that, actually.” Although jeans and flats with a t-shirt are her go-to ensemble, 56 Enjoy March 2012
Fator admits she has been known to overdress on occasion. “Every once in a while, I have to remind myself to just do it. Just do it for you.” Perhaps one of Fator’s biggest goals is creating a collection in which she allows all of her creativity to simply manifest as it will. “It’s hard to balance what I love to create with what will sell. At some point, I’d love to be able to create what is in my heart, without boundaries or limitations. That would be true success for me.” In 2012, do yourself a favor. Live fearlessly. Life fashionably. And be sure to visit Fator’s online store at darkponydesigns.etsy.com. www.darkponydesigns.com facebook.com/darkponyfashion Twitter.com/darkponydesigns darkponydesigns@gmail.com

WO R L D - R E N OW N E D G L A S S S C U L P TO R J AC K S TO R M S Jack Storms is on the cutting edge as a glass sculptor. He graduated from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in art and an emphasis in studio work. Then he hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped. After college, Storms managed the art glass studio of renowned sculptor Jon Kuhn before he left for California in 2002 to open Storm Works Studio, where he began creating his own designs. He now works in a commercial building on the outskirts of Red Bluff where three pug dogs keep him company. Storms’ work is shown in galleries in the United States and Canada, and is in numerous collections. He recently installed a glass bell privately commissioned for the Pleasanton Firehouse Art Center. The bell is two feet in diameter and two feet tall, and contains more than 8,000 pieces of glass. The Carmel Valley Rotary Club has presented Storms’ work as a gift to the president of Nigeria to mark the occasion of the first blood bank on the continent of Africa. Inspired by the lathe work at the granite quarries in Vermont, Storms began turning cold glass on a lathe, a glass-shaping process he says is not being done by anyone else. Beginning with slabs of optical
glass, he sandwiches layers of colored dichroic glass between the slabs using a two-part epoxy. He then cuts and reglues them until he has a block made of thousands (or tens of thousands) of pieces. Then the hard work begins. Mounting the piece onto a lathe, the machine turns slowly while a diamond wheel cuts the turning glass, much like a woodworker would turn a bowl or a table leg. As the glass begins to take its shape, the facets of the cut glass begin to refract light like a prism. Once the turning is complete, the piece is polished and throws off so much color and light it is as mesmerizing as a large diamond. Storms also takes the assembled slabs of glass and cuts them into geometric and curved shapes. Each design has a personality all its own. “During the Renaissance, artists produced work that was driven by wealthy clients,” Storms says. “In Italy, the church was the biggest client and that is why there is so much religious art from there. In Northern Europe, the wealthy merchants drove the art world and that’s why you see so many portraits from there.” Following in that tradition, Storms says, “My work is driven by the collector. I continued on page 60

Many people see cold worked glass as being very technical and distant from the human experience. I try to overcome that and seek to make a bridge from myself to the work. I strive to bring a sense of organic nature to all of my pieces.” Storms’ art studio is filled with a cadre of heavy, industrial-looking equipment. Turning and polishing cold glass is hard physical work, but Storms is a master at convincing glass to conform to his creative designs. Although he is fit, he says he’s pulled muscles and is beat after a day of studio work. Though Storms’ work is very much in demand, he says it’s a tough way to make a living. Making each piece takes six weeks or more and the materials are expensive. If anything goes wrong making a piece, it’s a very big deal. Being an artist on the cutting edge isn’t easy, but Storms seems content with the niche he’s carved out for himself. • www.jackstorms.com Bruce Greenberg has lived as far away as Australia and as high up as Colorado’s continental divide.

jiu jitsu junior
thirteen -year - old mixed martial arts champ zach ostergren When you think of getting your kids involved in sports, chances are, you aren’t considering mixed martial arts. But Zach Ostergren has put a new, youthful face on the domain once reserved for tattooed men competing in noholds-barred pay-per-view brawls. The world of Jiu Jitsu is branching out and embracing youth. Jiu Jitsu (roughly translated from Japanese as “the gentle art”) consists of grappling and striking techniques, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the most common martial art practiced in the UFC, takes these movements to the ground. Neither involves kicking or hitting; leverage is used to maneuver opponents. This was an easy transition from wrestling, says Zach’s dad, Joseph Ostergren. Zach grew up around foster brothers who were involved in martial arts, and the athletic Zach decided he wanted to give it a try. Apparently he was a natural, as Zach now trains with professionals and even teaches an adult class. This 13-year-old powerhouse has been known to “tap out” (put into submission) men more than twice his age. He caught the eye of Shawn Riggs, who also trains at Team Quest in Redding and runs Seventh Day Media. Once Riggs picked up Zach as a client, he began to get sponsors and has gained popularity in the community. Some people would slam the idea of having their kid involved in a full-contact, often bloody sport in this day and age of bullying. But martial arts can help build self-esteem and even help combat the bullying epidemic. In martial arts, kids can learn ways to set boundaries before bullying begins, but also how to protect themselves physically, in a non-violent way. Zach has taught a “bullyproof ” seminar at Team Quest, and more than 30 kids showed up. They learned ways to build confidence and avoid contact. “It makes me feel good,” Zach says. “I like being able to teach other kids what I know.” Martial arts also teaches discipline, something Zach knows very well. He trains at the gym two or three hours each day, up to five days a week. Joseph stresses that while it is difficult and takes its toll on the body, Zach’s passion propels him to stay dedicated and focused on the big picture: becoming the best. And he is well on his way, having recently competed at several tournaments, including the North American Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament and the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. There is a possibility that Jiu Jitsu will be added to the junior Olympics in 2016, and Zach wants to make sure he does all he can to get there. One person definitely rooting him on is his dad. “My dad is the one who got me started,” says Zach. “He’s my hero because he helps me out. Jesus, too. I like him. He’s pretty cool.” And just like that, he’s 13 again. • www.zachostergren.com www.facebook.com/zachostergren Team Quest: www.tqredding.com, (530) 646-7346 Melissa Gulden returned to Redding five years ago, just in time for Enjoy! She has a master’s degree in English and a bachelors degree in journalism. She is a teacher at University Preparatory School and a member of The Dance Project, as well as a certified MAC makeup artist.

claim to fame
ingot and the aftertho u ght mine
The historic town of Ingot is about 12 miles east of Bella Vista on both sides of Highway 299. Cow Creek runs through the town, mostly alongside the highway, and the most popular building in town is the remains of the Afterthought Mine stamp mill. It’s such an interesting looking building that people turn around on the highway and come back for a second look, and usually a photograph or two. Ingot was known as Silverton as early as 1852, when it was a silver mining boomtown. Years later it became Ingot, named for the ingot, a mass of metal cast in a form convenient for transporting or storage. Back in 1852, the town included 40 to 50 buildings, two stores, a livery stable, meat market, three boarding houses and many saloons. Everyone thought they were going to strike it rich. Their excitement didn’t last long because after the first ore run, it was found to be nothing but pot metal. Soon Silverton became a ghost town. In 1862, seven claims of the Copper Hill Mine group were mined for gold and silver. In 1873, Marcus Peck purchased those claims for $6,000. Three years later, he discovered more ore in an adjoining ledge and patented it as the Afterthought, a miner’s term for an adjoining claim located after the establishment of a major claim. The results were so favorable that Peck immediately began making improvements and built roads and two furnaces to process the ore.
In 1889, he sold his property to foundryman and lumberman Joe Enright, who quickly set about improving the property even more. He built a small narrow-gauge railroad with a locomotive capable of pulling a 20-car train of five-ton ore cars from the mine to the smelter. But the smelter didn’t work sufficiently. Here he was, practically out in the middle of nowhere, with no way to get his ore processed. He fixed that by building an 8.5-mile-long aerial tramway in 1925 that began near the smelter, crossed Cow Creek and traveled 8.5 miles almost straight as an arrow from there across the hills to a smelter at the Bully Hill Mine for processing. By this time, Ingot had once again come to life. The town now contained a school, employee boarding houses, a restaurant, a hotel and small employee houses for workers with families. Enough people lived there to warrant a post office. In 1904, the Ingot Post Office was established to serve approximately 200 residents. In 1940, the town dwindled once again, causing the post office to be discontinued. In 1942, the town of Ingot was annexed to Bella Vista. The mine continued to have many owners over the years. The last active owner was Coronado Copper & Zinc Company, which operated until 1952. Today, the roadside sign states that Ingot has a population of 30 people. All that remains from its glory days are a few houses, the remains of the Afterthought Mine stamp mill, a rock arrastra (a crude, early method to crush ore) beside Cow Creek, some rock walls, a few sections of the old railroad grade and a big bare spot where the smelter once stood. And so, another mining town has faded into history. •
Dottie Smith caught her history writing bug as soon as she moved here in the mid-’70s. She attended Shasta College where she studied journalism and archaeology. She later became the curator at the Shasta College Museum, taught history at Shasta College and worked on many archaeology jobs as a field assistant throughout northern California.

What’s Cookin’
Story: Lana Granfors

Shepherd’s Pie Traditionally, lamb was used in Shepherd’s Pie, along with other ingredients left over from a previous meal. If you have leftovers from your Sunday dinner, then this is an easy mid-week meal that will take only a few minutes. Any kind of roast, gravy and mashed potatoes along with the leftover carrots and peas from that Sunday dinner make this recipe really easy and tasty–one the entire family will enjoy. Serve as-is or with some crusty bread to mop up that yummy sauce! With leftovers, follow the assembly directions below. If you don’t have leftovers, here is a recipe. The sauce is rich and will go well with any meat. You can also make individual pies, which are always a hit with the kids. This freezes beautifully too, so make two and save one. When ready to use, just defrost, glaze with the egg wash and pop in the oven.
INGREDIENTS 1 T olive oil 3 - 4 large carrots, finely diced 1 large onion, finely diced 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 lb. ground beef, turkey or lamb, or any combination 1 tsp. black pepper 3 - 4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped or 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. chopped fresh or dried rosemary 1 T butter 1 cup frozen peas 2 T flour 2 T tomato paste or 3 T ketchup (for a hint of sweetness) 1 glass red wine 2 T Worcestershire sauce 1 cup beef or chicken stock 4 - 6 cups mashed potatoes, fresh or left over 1 egg, beaten Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

SHEPHERD’S PIE Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Servings: 6-8
PREPARATION Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. ▶Sauté carrots in the olive oil until they start to get tender. Add in the onions and sauté for 3-4 more minutes. Next add garlic and continue until just lightly browned. Next add the meat and season with black pepper, thyme and rosemary. Cook until browned, then drain fat. Add the butter and peas. ▶Sprinkle with flour and stir through. Add tomato paste, wine and Worcestershire sauce. Let this reduce slightly, then add the stock. Allow to reduce down until you have thick and meaty gravy. Often, stocks are already salted, so taste and season more if needed. ▶Remove from heat. Butter an ovenproof dish, either a 9x13” dish or oval baker, then add the meat and vegetables. Spoon the mashed potatoes to cover the top or use a pastry bag to pipe the potatoes. Brush with egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely browned on top.

Snacks from Berryvale Grocery and back to Redding for a softball game with the family. Dinner is at Jack’s (because he’s heard so much about it but never been). Then a walk over to the Cascade Theatre for a show. Maybe a cold one at the end of the night at the Squire Room. Next morning it’s breakfast, Sundial Bridge and adios Adam!

March 20 | 7:30 PM Cascade Theatre
Shasta Community Concert Association presents Shasta Live. He’s not your usual “Vegas style” impersonator. In fact, he is not an impersonator at all. Jim Curry sings, in his own natural voice, a tribute to the music in a way that has to be seen and heard to understand the pure honesty of his amazing performance. His looks and his voice are simply a pleasant coincidence that capture the true essence of John Denver’s music. For more information, visit www.cascadetheatre.org.

The Broadway Musical
H
Based on the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters
airspray delighted audiences on Broadway by sweeping them away to 1960s Baltimore, where the ’50s are out – and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, The Corny Collins Show. Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? Directed by Jana Pulcini-Leard, who directed last season’s The Sound of Music at the Cascade, Hairspray showcases a fabulous cast of regional professional talent.

Store Front
name richard s. lucas
occupation author
WHAT’S IN STORE Richard s. lucas, author One might say that books are in Richard S. Lucas’ blood – his mother and grandmother are authors, and his father and grandfather ran the Lucas Bookstore in Berkeley. Lucas? Well, he’s both. He and his wife, Abby, own All About Books in Redding, and he’s the author of four books, including archaeological adventures and a Christian fiction novel (which he hopes will be a series) about modern-day demon fighters. All of his titles are available at Enjoy the Store. How long have you been an author? I began writing in the late 1990s. I released a two-book sci-fi series through an e-book publisher in Canada. They were pretty rough, but helped me realize that I could craft a story. It was six years later that I released my first print book, “Four Paths To Forever,” an archaeology adventure. Tell me how your creative process works. I need three items to start a story: A beginning, an ending and a title. If you picture a road map, then you will understand how I create a story. I have a starting point and a destination point. I never know which path I will take, and sometimes I end up backtracking and going in a different direction. This way the story leads me, and it can be interesting the turns I end up taking. What’s been the highlight of your writing career so far? Many people bought “Four Paths To Forever” simply because they knew me from our bookstore. When they came back and wanted to know when the sequel was coming out, I was completely taken by surprise. I hadn’t planned on one, but it was demanded. “Beyond Forever: Journey to Tulmic” came from that. What inspires you? Mostly my readers. They continue to want more and this encourages me to write the next book.

What do you do when you’re not writing? Work. My wife, Abby, and I run All About Books, which moved to Court Street in February. We have owned the bookstore for more than 10 years now. It sounds like books are a rich part of your family history. Why is it important to you to carry that on? My grandmother published a children’s book. My mother has published many Christian devotionals. My sister is a playwright and actress in Europe. My grandfather, then father, owned and ran the Lucas Bookstore in Berkeley. Rumor is that Robert Frost is an ancestor. It just seems to be in the blood. And what better place for a writer to work than at a bookstore?

What sorts of books do you like to read? I tend to rotate through several fiction genres, as I quickly grow tired of the same thing. One day it will be a crimethriller, then an adventure, romance, sci-fi and fantasy. I will on occasion read non-fiction, but that is quite rare. When I read I want to escape from reality.

Which of your books will we find in “Enjoy the Store”? All four are available there: “Four Paths to Forever,” “Beyond Forever: Journey to Tulmic,” “Abigor: The First Battle,” a Christian-based fantasy, and “Ice Queen,” my newest adventure. •
