happy4thanniversary Four years ago, the people you see in the photo to the left crossed their fingers and hoped that the North State would embrace the inaugural issue of the magazine that you’re holding right now. We knew we’d poured our heads, hearts and souls into it – but would it catch on in our community? Not only did you embrace it – you have helped it evolve into a publication that has introduced us all to hundreds of inspirational people and taken us to scores of fascinating places. These 48 issues have included stories that have made us laugh, cry, rejoice, think and explore. We’re always looking to improve Enjoy, as we want to ensure that we remain fresh, relevant and fun. Look for some new features in the coming year, as we consider change to be invigorating and healthy. One thing, however, will never change. We vow to never lose sight of the fact that this magazine is successful because of you. We thank our advertisers, who continue to invest their hard-earned dollars here. We are indebted to the people who have given us the privilege of taking a glimpse into their lives. We’re thankful to the writers and photographers who craft the stories, and the designers who turn blank pages into art. Each of these people contributes a critical piece to this magazine, and those of us who work behind the scenes to pull it all together deeply appreciate these creative partnerships. Of course, none of this would be possible if you did not continue to read Enjoy each month. We take it as a vote of confidence that our magazine racks are empty by the end of the month. You are shopping at our advertisers’ stores, and you’re sharing your comments and story ideas with us daily. We create this magazine for you, but we also couldn’t create it without you. We are humbled, honored and unspeakably proud to be part of this community. Thank you, and happy birthday to all of us. Enjoy!

caveIN
shasta county ’ s pluto ’ s cave
Photo: Monica VanDeWalker
Nelson Cash stared long into the gaping entrance of the cave, looking for his lost cows. Wondering if the earth had swallowed them, he entered the cave, not knowing how deep it would bring him under the countryside. He took his candle and took cautious steps into the darkness. A few hours later, he returned to the sunlight of the Shasta Valley, and named his discovery Pluto’s Cave. Pluto’s Cave is an ancient lava tube stretching underneath the valley floor in three sections, the last more than 1,500 feet. Since its discovery in 1863, spelunkers, teenagers, geologists and the curious have made the journey into the dark recesses. The trails are well defined, yet the cave remains wild and untamed. The tube is the result of a lava flow which began from a vent on Mount Shasta eight miles to the northeast and continues north to the present town of Grenada. The entrance to the cave is large. The sidewalls mark the heights of numerous lava flows. The half-mile trail meanders through three sections lined with volcanic boulders, the first which opens to a skylight, created by the collapse of the ceiling. The second section ends again in open air. The final third is the darkest and longest. Cash wrote, “In some places the arch overhead was so high that we could hardly distinguish its outlines with our two candles and would so continue for hundreds of feet; and at other times the arch would not be over 15 or 20 feet high.” Watch on the walls for the graffiti left in 1917 by the “International Order of Red Men” who used the cave for a rite of initiation, leaving their names and ranks. The trip to the cave would have been arduous, as no roads existed in the area at the time. Deer, ground squirrels and other wildlife call the cave home. Above, you can see the homes of nesting owls. Twilight reveals swirling colonies of bats who live here. Watch for tracks on the trails for sign of the animals who visited the night before you. Carry flashlights, as each section of the cave gets progressively darker. The floor becomes more uneven, requiring good shoes. If you are brave enough to reach the end, graffiti on the wall will tell you just that. Be prepared for the coolness of the cave anytime of year. Unlike the cave’s namesake, Cash emerged from the cave to return home. He never recorded if he found his livestock. When writing of his discovery he notes: As we were the 1st explorers, of course we had the right to give the cave a name, and we christened it ‘Pluto’s Cave.’ The reasons why…I reserve for a future communication.” • To reach Pluto’s Cave, drive 12 miles north of Weed on Highway 97, taking the Grenada turnoff. After 3 miles turn left at the Pluto’s Cave sign and go to the parking area 1/4 mile away.

bee happy T H E Wooten ’ s G olden Q ueens in palo cedro Theirs is a thriving operation with agricultural interests at the heart of everything they do. Shannon Wooten and Glenda, his wife of 41 years, carry on a good-natured debate about whether their 80 acres is actually a ranch or a farm. Forty-five head of cattle graze in the nearby pastures along with several horses. But their other livestock is on the miniature scale and makes a rather rhythmic humming sound. By far the most prevalent domesticated creatures on their ranch/farm in Palo Cedro are—bees. Shannon has characteristic calluses and sun-browned skin from his years of work outdoors. Glenda spends more time indoors than out, but is very much a partner in the business. A staff of 15 that includes Robert, the youngest of their three children, works with Shannon. They spend their work hours breeding queens, producing nucs (small hives with three frames used to create new hives or to raise queens), providing hives for pollination throughout the North State and, of course, in honey production. Glenda handles the marketing and business details. Both actively participate in local, state and national trade organizations.
The Wootens readily confess to loving what they do. Shannon started working as a beekeeper for Homer and Lois Park in 1966. In 1974, after he married the boss’ daughter, he and Glenda purchased some of Homer’s hives and started their own business. Other family members have done the same, some staying in the area and others moving with their supply of Park Italian Queens to as far away as Canada. The Italian strain introduced and developed by Homer and Lois continues to define the quality of their stock and is carefully protected from mixing with other genetics. Glenda talks about one of the most important qualities of their bees when asked why employees don’t wear the stereotypic beekeepers’ outfit. They must be gentle bees, she explains, and gentle bees must be treated gently with ungloved hands. Park Italian Queens are sought after by other breeders and beekeepers all over the United States and Canada for their honey production and brood production, as well as their parasite resistance and gentleness. Shannon has an especially good instinct about good breeders. Years of experience have taught him how to continued on page 23 October 2010 Enjoy 22
identify a queen with all the right traits for continuing the strain and for providing the qualities needed to carry out their job in the hives. He and his staff work tirelessly throughout the year to maintain their hives, feeding when the weather dictates, checking and treating for mites and parasites. They keep detailed records of their stock and the lineage of the queens. Their thoroughness has helped develop a respectful working relationship with University of California at Davis’ Bee Lab and other scientists in the prevention of disease and the development of sound genetics throughout the industry. California’s almond industry has grown tremendously over the past six or seven years. According to Shannon, it requires 1.5 million hives to pollinate the 800,000 acres now growing in the state that produce 83 percent of the world’s almonds. The Wootens rent as many as 5,000 hives to orchards in Chico and Red Bluff when the almond trees are in bloom between late February and early March. Beekeeping is the oldest and largest industry in Palo Cedro, which is among the largest queen producers in the country. Shannon at one time was famous for wearing a bee beard during the Honey Bee festival. Three years ago he turned the job over to younger folks in the family. The Shasta Bee Club continues to feature prominently in the festival with their informational displays, guest appearances by the American Honey Queen, and members of the club providing 23 Enjoy October 2010
literature and answering questions. Of course, honey from local beekeepers is always available for sale. Honeybees lend their own subtle fragrance to farm smells in the Wooten warehouses, where the scent of stored lumber (pine and cedar used for building hives and frames) blends with wax infused with whatever pollen the bees have collected. The Wooten home sits just behind the office and the main warehouse. Large and small livestock attend to business while their human caretakers seem content to cohabitate and share the workload. The Wootens think about retiring, but not yet. Shannon says when his “want tos” out weigh his “have tos,” that’s when they will let someone else take over. They love to ride their horses into the back country with friends and visit their daughter and grandchildren, who live on the East Coast. Shannon loves his ranching and cowboying with relatives when they move cattle. Farmers or ranchers, it doesn’t much matter what you call them. It’s in their blood. •

F ranc d ’ambrosio performing in yreka Franc D’Ambrosio was 28 and had just starred in “Godfather III” with Al Pacino when he was offered the role of a lifetime. He turned it down. Producers of the San Francisco-based production of “The Phantom of the Opera” had just called to offer D’Ambrosio the role. “I said, ‘I’m not interested,’ basically,” the New York native recalls with a chuckle. “They asked why, and I said I had just finished a film with Coppola, had one set up with Spike Lee and I didn’t think it was the right time to begin a show. “They said, ‘Do you realize we’re offering you the role of Phantom?’” (Brief pause while D’Ambrosio shakes his head in disbelief.) “I said, ‘Oh, OK, I’ll do it.’” With a simple OK, D’Ambrosio launched a 6 1/2-year run as the Phantom, performing the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning musical more than 2,600 times in front of more than 5 million theatergoers in San Francisco and on Broadway. In the process, he earned the title of longest-running Phantom, a distinction he held for a decade. “Theatrically, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” D’Ambrosio says by phone from his San Francisco home. Although the schedule was grueling—eight shows in six days each week—D’Ambrosio says he never struggled with his energy level or focus. “I never lost my passion for communicating with the audience, communicating the lyrics, the passion of the song and connecting with the audience. “People would come to ‘Phantom’ multiple times and come away with different experiences each time. I’m always investing and reinvesting in the scenes. It became a passion for me. It is a passion for me,” D’Ambrosio says. Communicating with the audience through song is the thread that runs through D’Ambrosio’s career, and it’s especially evident in the one-man shows he has been performing throughout the United States, Europe and South America since 2004. D’Ambrosio started with (“Broadway: Songs of the Great White Way”) and added (“Hollywood: Songs of the Silver Screen”) three years later. His latest project is (“I’ll be Seeing Youz…A Bronx Boy’s Musical Perspective of World War II.” ) The Bronx native performed his “Broadway” show at the Yreka Community Theater in 2008 and is returning to the same Siskiyou County venue on October 22 to perform his “Hollywood” program. Redding resident Lyn Regan, who has seen D’Ambrosio perform as the Phantom in San Francisco’s Curran Theater and caught his first 25 Enjoy October 2010
Yreka performance, says she still gets chills thinking about it. “When Franc sang ‘Danny Boy,’ the audience reached for their tissues,” says Regan, who has already secured a ticket for his next North State performance. When his record label first suggested the one-man shows, D’Ambrosio says he was reluctant to hit the road as a cabaret singer. “I was against it. Who needs another night of musical theater? And then I thought, if there’s a storyline, a reason for the songs, then I’ll do it. “It’s about communicating. You’re singing your communication. It’s about words and lyrics, connecting with the audience. Once the label agreed to do that, they put this show together.” Earlier in his career, D’Ambrosio was in the chorus of “Sweeney Todd,” his first Broadway show, when a team of talent scouts discovered him and invited him to audition for “Godfather III.” Francis Ford Coppola promptly cast him as Anthony Corleone, the opera-singing son of Al Pacino’s character, Michael Corleone. D’Ambrosio acted in the film and also sang the Oscar-winning theme song, “Speak Softly Love.” “It was my very first audition for a film and I didn’t go into it with any preconceived notion of what it was like. Working with Al was great. He was a bit of a mentor for me, really. Whenever we did a scene together that he liked, he’d say, ‘Exactly Franc, exactly.’ Diane Keaton was that way too.” D’Ambrosio’s performance of “Speak Softly Love” (Brucia la Terra) caught the ear of the late Luciano Pavarotti and prompted an invitation—which D’Ambrosio quickly accepted—to study with the legendary tenor for a summer at his home in Italy. Thanks to his tenure as the Phantom and his relentless touring schedule, D’Ambrosio has created fans across the country. One of them is 10-year-old singing sensation Jackie Evancho, whose August performance on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” program launched her into Internet stardom. “She said what inspired her to sing was going to see ‘Phantom of the Opera.’ I got to know her. Jackie’s uncle was a good friend and I encouraged her early on as a little kid,” D’Ambrosio says. While his Yreka performance doesn’t carry quite the cachet of “America’s Got Talent,” D’Ambrosio says he’s looking forward to reuniting with fans in the North State. “I’m excited to bring the Hollywood show there. It’s really fun, fun music, and great songs from the Busby Berkeley days all the way up to ‘Phantom.’” • October 22 • Yreka Community Theater • 812 N.

Artist
artist J oe “ tiger ” M ichiels Joe “Tiger” Michiels is an interesting guy. He spends much of his time at his home office, or “Tiger’s Den,” in South Redding. The Den sits above the garage and apart from his house. The walls of the stairway are filled with his works – his style bears traces of Van Gogh, but a more predominant influence of Mexican and Native American forms prevails. Michiels’ art takes many forms, and his latest creation involves a canvas of a different medium: Jeans. Plain old denim. Michiels has taken to painting them much in the same way he does on a traditional rectangle. On the walls in the Den hang vibrant colored jeans, with a pair that have just barely begun to be painted draped over an easel. 28 Enjoy September 2010
At the top of the staircase is a wall of photos featuring Michiels with influential notables like Steve McQueen, Jesse James and Robert Mondavi. At the ready, Michiels is happy to recount stories of his adolescence in Nichols Canyon, painting the picture with strokes of innate desire, of a boy in the 1960s progressing to manhood. “I didn’t think I’d live to see 21,” Michiels says, mentioning his unintended initiation at age 16 into the Mullholland Rollers, who roll their cars and survive to tell the story. His stories have become legendary in their own right. In fact, some of his Tiger’s Tales were recorded in Michael Walker’s “Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood.” Michiels takes an unabashed stance to his experiences. “If you’re out there, living life, sometimes things happen.” continued on page 29 October 2010 Enjoy 28
Michiels’ travel experiences mix with Hollywood, what he calls the “epicenter of energy,” to create energetic and captivating pieces. When asked what inspired him to get involved in art, his response was simple: “I never really got involved in art. It’s just something I do,” he says with the smile of somebody not digging for compliments. Michiels began painting in his 20s, and most of his early works were given away. When asked about the sale of his paintings, Michiels says, “I love to paint. I’ve sold a few pieces along the way, but my problem is the time,” he says. After more than three decades painting, writing poetry and photographing, Michiels took a few years off of his artistic endeavors. What made him snap back? “I got married. I’m happy,” he says of his wife, Susie. The two married in 1994. A man of ever deepening adventure, Michiels is also a man of collections. A display case loaded with antique cameras (which were bought for less than a quarter or given to him), a collection of classic motorcycles (a story to be told with each one), walls plastered with photos of notable figures in the Southern California scene – this is just the beginning. He plays instruments like the guitar and the didgeridoo, takes copious photos (some tens of thousands, he said), writes poetry and anything else you can likely imagine. Traditional masks displayed in his living room are reminders of adventures to remote villages in Costa Rica, where he has photos celebrating with the local tribes. The collection of metal bottle openers, a hanging surfboard, a blown-up photo of Michiels and his friend at an ancient religious temple in Oaxaca, Mexico; everything in his possession tells a story. As is his nature, Michiels, 60, is a workhorse. A self-made man, Michiels moved to Redding in 1976, a few years after he went into business buying, processing and shipping lumber to manufacturers in Japan. “I’m an entrepreneur, he says. That sentiment might well carry through to his works. Bright, vibrant colors capture the eye, and bring to life the subject of the work. As a youth, Michiels was fond of Western artist Joe De Yong. “When I saw his work, I was drooling – the sculptures, bronzes, paintings – it was great,” he says. A longstanding and highly active member of the Rotary Club of Redding and Rotary International, Michiels’ work is never done. Two years ago, he spent time in Columbia fitting 200 amputees for prosthetic arm extensions. And he’s currently preparing to go to India to fulfill the same endeavor. ”I especially enjoy giving back, since I’m still here and able to do so.” • Michiels’ postcards can be seen in town at Crown Camera (1365 Market St.), Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Pages Copy Center (1698 Market St.). Some of his paintings are hung at Westwood Motors. Visit www.tigerjoe.com for more info, and maybe a story to boot.

doug carter , creative collector
By day, Doug Carter is a mild-mannered financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. But his alter ego is more like Indiana Jones. Carter collects woolly mammoth tusks. When he talks about it, his tone is so relaxed you’d think he was quoting CD interest rates. But holding the tusk of a woolly mammoth, it’s easy to imagine these prehistoric elephants roaming the land as they did up to 300,000 years ago. When asked how he got interested in collecting tusks, Carter smiles. “For me, collecting something is having something unique.” Enter Alan Stout, “the bone collector” from Rome, Georgia. Carter began to research buying a woolly mammoth tusk and found Stout on the Internet. Stout, a dinosaur hunter, was trying to track down saber tooth tiger skulls that were coming in from China. Stout asked Carter if he would help, and Carter made it his mission to track down this elusive dealer – a trail which eventually led to a small shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Stout was grateful for the connection and made Carter an extraordinary deal on a three-foot-long, 50,000-year-old, woolly mammoth tusk. So began Carter’s collection. Once Carter passed through the looking glass and into this world of dealers of extinct fossils, he found himself in touch with a Russian business man, Igor Gribinov, who was dealing in exporting tusks from Siberia. Carter says, “Because of global warming, the ice shelf in Siberia is receding, exposing many more woolly mammoth tusks.” Carter explains that importing ivory tusks is illegal, but because these are fossilized, they’re allowed – but not cheap. “Prices for tusks start at $300 per pound and go up from there depending on quality,” Carter says. That makes a four-foot tusk worth about $10,000. Tusks have been found up to 16 feet long. “Dealers make most of their money on tusks by selling them off in sections that are used for knife handles, jewelry and carvings,” Carter says. Though most tusks are found in Siberia or netted by fishermen in the North Sea, Carter’s largest tusk – five feet long - came from the Kuboss coal mine of Kazakhstan. Though it was more than twice as long when it was found, “they broke it excavating it from the mine,”
Carter says. Following leads and doing some wheeling and dealing, Carter ended up with seven woolly mammoth tusks. He decided to keep four and donate three to local schools. To date, two have been donated to University Preparatory School in Redding, where his daughter goes to school. Tad Raudman, U-Prep’s science teacher, says, “The kids think that the woolly mammoth tusks are the neatest fossils on hand. It’s a great way for the kids to see life has been on earth for a long time.” Carter, 40, and his family, are no strangers to the community. He is a fifth-generation North State resident whose family moved to Trinity County shortly after the Civil War. His great-grandfather, Jesse Carter, was the Shasta County District Attorney from 1918 to 1927 and went on to become a state Supreme Court Justice. His grandparents, Harlan and Barbara Carter, homesteaded what is now known as the Carter House in Caldwell Park. And his parents, Janice and Ross Carter, started The Wilderness Recovery Center in Montgomery Creek in the early 1990s, a center for teen boys with substance abuse problems. The Wilderness Recovery Center is modeled after Outward Bound. In what appears to be a long family tradition, Carter says, “I want to do something so unique that no one I know has done it before.” He seems to be pretty good at it. Carter earned college money by working in the Alaskan salmon industry. For a vacation, he hiked the back country of Iceland. He self-published a book titled, “Carter Cabin Party Chronicles.” And perhaps his greatest adventure of all is raising his 13-year-old daughter, Trinity. When Carter begins telling a story in his soft-spoken, understated way, it’s easy to listen and get pulled in. Imagining a journey of tens of thousands of years, where woolly mammoths forage in a world very different than it is today. He’ll walk you through their incredible journey from their home in ancient Siberia to today’s classrooms in Redding, California, where – thanks to Carter – students can touch history and imagine a world long gone. The only thing missing as Doug Carter tells this story is Indiana Jones’ hat and whip. •

Nature Hike
watchable wildlife in G L E N N A N D CO LU SA CO U N T I E S Autumn signals the beginning of the fall bird migration. To a birder, that means goosebumps as millions of waterfowl descend into the Sacramento Valley for winter roosting. Nestled into the valley like islands in a sea archipelago is the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Surrounded by agricultural activity that has consumed 95 percent of the natural valley wetland, the refuge complex provides critical habitat for avian migrants, and is the single most important wintering area along the Pacific Flyway. The complex consists of five national wildlife refuges and three wildlife management areas. More than 300 species of birds have been recorded on these parcels of land. Of the five individual refuges that make up the complex – Sacramento, Delevan, Colusa, Sutter and Sacramento River – the Sacramento is the largest and attracts the most birds. It is the most well known of the refuges, and is easily accessible via Interstate 5 just south of continued on page 35 Willows. October 2010 Enjoy 34
A bit less accessible but providing superior views of bird life is the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge. Located about six miles east of I-5 off Highway 20 and Ohair Road, this 4,507-acre sanctuary mainly consists of intensively managed wetland impoundments, with some grassland and riparian habitat. In what is described as “habitat by design,” refuge managers sculpt and hydrate the land to mimic the cycle of what used to be natural occurring wetlands. Birds embrace the landscape as if it were natural, and congregate here and on adjacent rice fields by the hundreds of thousands each fall and winter. Visitors to the Colusa refuge during any season will find opportunity to view many types of wildlife that are attracted to this habitat. This property features walking trails and a three-mile driving tour. An entrance kiosk provides a display that explains the makeup and function of the refuge. Pick up a “Watchable Wildlife” checklist here, and then walk the nearby mile-long trail. A wonderful viewing platform stands at the auto tour entrance. Find a spot on the platform and put your binoculars or spotting scope on birds that inhabit the adjacent wetland and marsh. The best way to see birds here is via the auto tour. Automobiles make excellent blinds. Birds get used to cars on the dirt track and become less apt to flee upon approach. Drive slowly and take your time. Stop frequently, pull over to allow other cars to pass and turn off your engine. Listening for birds can be as enjoyable as seeing them. Begin your tour by driving slowly past the viewing platform and scanning the irrigated fields on either side of the road. Migrants begin arriving in September and should well populate the landscape by October. Your “Watchable Wildlife” brochure will tell you which 35 Enjoy October 2010
birds you can expect to see each month. About a half-mile of driving will take you to a bridge over Powell Slough. If traffic allows, stop on the bridge and take in a view that features four major habitats. Look for egrets and herons in the riparian area along the slough bank. Spy songbirds in the woodlands that skirt the slough. Spot snow and Ross’s geese, and many duck species on the surrounding wetland and marsh habitats. This is one of the best seats in the house! Once across the bridge, bear to the right, which begins a one-way loop around a portion of the refuge. The road parallels Powell Slough, providing opportunity to see riparian birds to your right, wetland birds to your left. At about four-tenths of a mile from the bridge you will find a good mix of trees and marsh plus views of adjacent rice fields to the southwest. Scan the telephone poles ahead of you for bird activity. Look for loggerhead shrike on barbed wire fences, where they are known to impale their prey for later consumption. At this point you will be traveling south. The track here is quite elevated, which provides excellent views over the tops of the wetlands, making for optimum identification conditions. A bit more than a mile from the bridge, the road turns east. The Sutter Buttes will fill your windshield on a clear day. Stopping on each loop turn provides rewarding views of the surrounding area. A tall dead tree sits two miles from the bridge. Slowly approach this snag and look for perched raptors. The road rejoins the slough here as well, and provides clear looks into a wide spot on the river where herons, double-crested cormorant, and white-faced ibis congregate. Two and a half miles more brings you back to the bridge. Drive, view and repeat if you wish! •

Art Creates Legacy... ARTicipate is a call to action in Shasta and Siskiyou counties to stand for the greater good to $150,000, will be matched by The James Irvine Foundation to support the arts today and forever. Nancy and Brett LaMott, owners of Café Maddalena in Dunsmuir, are passionate supporters of the arts in Siskiyou County. “In a time of tight budgets and competing needs, it is important to remind ourselves of the value of art and its place in our lives. Just as food nourishes the body, art feeds the soul in magical and mysterious ways. It brings us joy on a personal level and makes our communities richer and fuller places to live. Giving to the Arts Endowment Campaign now is a wonderful way for all of us to affirm that art does matter.”

“ Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.”
~William Cullen Bryant
B E A U T Y T R A N S I T I O N S F R O M S U M M E R TO FA L L American writer John Bradbury described Indian summer when he wrote, “The air is perfectly quiescent and all is stillness, as if Nature, after her exertions during the Summer, were now at rest.” Although a true Indian summer cannot occur until there has been a frost or freeze, here in the North State we’re just happy to finally need a sweater as the temperature drops and the cool crispness of autumn wraps us in her chilly arms. But are hair and skin paying the price after months of fun in the sun? With the weather changing, now is the time to transition to fall in hair, makeup and clothing. Here’s how. Hair: It’s not uncommon for women to change their hair color, depending on the season. But let’s face it: a blonde will always want to be a blonde. However, there are ways to go from bleach to chic. Says Dede McGuire, hairstylist and owner of A Wild Hair, a little change can make all the difference. “In the summer months, everyone wants that light blonde, but I love the transition into fall because people often want to go into a completely different look.” McGuire says that bringing in a little of someone’s natural color is a nice way to add depth—they won’t look so washed out since their tan is faded. 37 Enjoy October 2010
“When you add that little bit of natural color back in, they still feel like themselves.” Also, hair color tends to become brassy and faded at the end of the season, kind of like that swimsuit that saw too much chlorine. Sun breaks down pigments in the hair, so try washing with a purple-tinted shampoo to restore cool tones to hair. Skin: Sun exposure also breaks down collagen, leaving your skin sagging like a deflated balloon. Repair and prevent wrinkle-causing UV damage by using a collagen-boosting antioxidant-rich serum twice a day (try Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector, $44.50, Macy’s or Clinique.com). If you have more severe scars or discoloration you may want to try a laser treatment, such as Fraxel. Though pricey (one session runs $800 to $1,200 and it usually takes multiple visits), this collageninducing procedure is more intense than an over-the-counter product. Or try an at-home microdermabrasion system to even out skin tone, and follow with a brightening serum applied to dark spots. And, of course, hydrate skin that may be dry and itchy from chlorine or salt water with a moisturizing balm rich in cocoa butter and olive oil. Overdid the
self-tanner? Get rid of any leftover bronzer residue and smooth dry patches with an exfoliating body wash. Wardrobe: Your fave pieces can work for more than one season. Incorporate some fall trends in with what you already own for instant style! Take a floral dress or skirt and add motorcycle boots and tights. Rugged extras add edge to the pretty, floaty dress. White jeans or khakis head into the fall season with a blazer or leather jacket and darker-toned accessories. Balance loose cargos with a structured sweater jacket and crisp collared shirt. Shorts are taking center stage this fall, but be sure they are knee-length or longer for the office. Pair with a blazer or vest, heels or clogs, and sleek accessories. Even a frilly tank can ease into fall with a neutral, cropped jacket, dark jeans and platform heels. It only takes a few cozy items to transition your wardrobe nicely into a new season. So we say goodbye to another summer— for now. Let the blonde go more natural, the tan fade gradually and the skin rehydrate. After all, June will be here again before we know it! •

critically acclaimed author cindy martinusen coloma Author, world speaker and mentor Cindy Martinusen Coloma brings words to life, and life to words. She has written eight novels, co-authored two nonfiction books and penned more than 100 articles, short stories and plays. Her critically acclaimed novels have been nominated for the Christy Award and Reader’s Choice Award (Romantic Times), and were chosen for the List of Best Books of 2004 by Library Journal. Her first three novels have been translated into Dutch, German and Norwegian. Many of Coloma’s books take place in the North State. Her settings are alive with local flavor and bursting with colorful characters. In her young adult novel Beautiful, Ellie Summerfield is a student at the fictitious West Redding High. Ellie becomes disfigured and has to learn to rely on intrinsic qualities instead of her physical beauty. Then there is venerated author Sophia Fleming in The Salt Garden who spends hours beachcombing in a bay on the Northern California coast while replaying the mistakes of her youth that brought her to live a solitary life. Some of Coloma’s books have taken her to other cities. Last year, she traveled to Las Vegas to research Renting Lacy, a nonfiction book about minors forced into prostitution. She has traveled to Germany and Austria to study World War II for her novels Winter Passing, Blue Night and North of

Tomorrow. “As long as I can remember,” says Coloma, “I have had an interest in World War II.” Only as an adult did she discover that her grandfather was a prisoner of war. “He was a co-pilot and shot down off the coast of Italy. He had to bail into the ocean and swim miles to shore. Then he was picked up by an Italian fisherman and turned in. He was sent to Germany where he stayed in a POW camp until the end of the war,” says Coloma. Coloma has traveled as far as the Philippines to teach writing. She has facilitated three local writers’ conferences and one retreat. Yet one of Coloma’s greatest successes is the Quills of Faith. She and Maxine Cambra spearheaded the writing group more than 10 years ago. Quills of Faith meets the second Monday of every month at the Neighborhood Church of Anderson-Cottonwood, and is open to anyone with a desire to write. Teresa Ambord says, “I first met Cindy at Quills of Faith when I asked her to autograph my copy of Winter Passing. As she signed, she asked me what I liked to write. I sheepishly mentioned a few paltry articles I’d had published. She stopped, turned her beautiful smile on me, and said four words. ‘You are a writer.’ As simple as that was, it was an unforgettable moment. Coming from a professional writer, it felt like she was conferring a blessing on me.” Ambord is now a full-time writer. Sometimes, the mother of three takes her 13-year-old son, Weston, to Quills of Faith. One evening on their way home, he told his mom, “In the middle of you talking, I looked up and thought, ‘Wow, my mom really inspires a lot of people.’” “Cindy is a passionate and sensitive writer,” says her husband, Nieldon Coloma, who met her while she was speaking at Litt-World in Tagaytay City in the Philippines. “Her writing is a subtle craft that gently draws the reader into an intimate relationship with her story’s characters. Through the characters she has woven into her novels, the reader gets to explore the raw emotions and fragile inner thoughts that are known but often lie unacknowledged in all of us, until finally, the story culminates to a point that when it does end, it becomes a bittersweet goodbye.” Coloma has always been a reader and dreamer, writing stories in her diaries as a child. One night, when she was 19, she says that her passion for writing came over her. A story came to her that she had to write. She stayed up all night long getting it down. A few years later, in 1993, she published her first work of fiction – a Christmas play. She says that she hadn’t thought about that play for a long time, but last year a church from Canada contacted her to ask permission to perform it. “When you are doing what you are called to do, you never know for sure the imprints you are leaving.” Coloma believes that she was made to be a writer. She says that many people think that a person isn’t what they do, but she says that she writes, that she is a writer. “It’s how I see the world. I think of stories all the time.” •

Chances are good that you’ve breezed through Glenn and Colusa counties – perhaps you slowed down long enough for a pit stop or a bite to eat on your way down south. But these neighboring counties are worth some exploration in their own right. Whether you meander down for a day trip or just add a little extra time to your next San Francisco excursion, there’s more to see than you may have expected.
grand granzella’s
Fast facts: • Agriculture remains the mainstay of the economies in Glenn and Colusa counties. Their big producers include rice, wheat, oranges, almonds, milk products, prunes and livestock. Dairies are also plentiful in the area.
It just might be the most popular restaurant on the I-5 corridor through Northern California. Granzella’s, an iconic landmark that was rebuilt after a fire several years ago, prides itself on homestyle cooking and gourmet gifts (also available online at granzellas. com). Enjoyed dinner so much that you want to check out the breakfast menu tomorrow? Granzella’s Inn is a comfortable place to rest your head. You’ll find it just off the interstate in Williams.
• Colusa County is one of California’s original counties, created in 1850 at the time of statehood. Parts of the county’s territory were given to Tehama County in 1856 and to Glenn County in 1891. • Colusa County was named after the 1844 Rancho Colus Mexican land grant to John Bidwell; Glenn County was named for wheat farmer Dr. Hugh J. Glenn. • Glenn County has a population of about 27,000, and Colusa County is home to about 19,000 people. • Glenn County’s terrain ranges from about 100 feet above sea level near the river up to 6,000 feet at the mountains in the western portion of the county.
45 Enjoy October 2010
go downtown Colusa’s downtown is charming and fun. The tree-lined streets shade quirky old buildings, including the old city hall, the old stone Carnegie library and more. Don’t miss the plantation-style courthouse –one of the state’s oldest functioning courthouses – which serves as the centerpiece of downtown.
in the history books The Bayliss Carnegie Library sits on Blue Gum-Bayliss Road between Willows and Chico, and is still open one day a week. The redtrimmed white stucco library was built using a $4,000 Carnegie grant in 1917 after a new state policy pushed to establish small libraries in rural areas.
get back The backcountry Milk Ranch Trail in Colusa County is a heart-pounding way to see the wilderness surrounding the Klamath Mountains. This 6.4-mile-long hike takes most folks between five and six hours to complete.
just ducky Duck hunting in Glenn County is considered world class, as much land is set aside exclusively for duck sanctuary. Hunters from miles around flock to the area for this sport.
step back in time The Willows Museum at the corner of Walnut and North Plumas streets was Glenn County’s first public library, and was designated a Bicentennial Community Project when the library moved. The free museum is open Thursday, Saturday and Sunday year round.
play all day Colusa Indian Community’s Outdoor Adventures Team offers guided wild hog hunts, sport fishing excursions, upland game bird hunting and more. They’re committed to habitat preservation, range improvement and wildlife conservation through responsible hunting and fishing practices.
recreate The Colusa-Sacramento River State Recreation Area is a lovely place to enjoy the Sacramento River, and Mendocino National Forest (which reaches into Glenn County) is oh, so peaceful.
get lucky Colusa Casino offers gaming, dining, entertainment and a hotel for those who feel the pull of Lady Luck. October 2010 Enjoy 46

‘ O ut of T his W orld ’ E xtraordinary C ostume E xhibit at T urtle B ay From the pointed hat that launched a squadron of flying monkeys to the leather jacket worn by the man who would be California’s future governor, Turtle Bay Exploration Park’s latest exhibit gives visitors a new way to look at movies, past and present. In particular, “Out of this World: Extraordinary Costumes from Film and Television” offers new insight into how costumes define characters and help tell the story. The exhibit, which opens October 9, offers visitors a chance to learn something new about something that’s very familiar to them, says Toby Osborn, Turtle Bay’s marketing and sales officer. “It’s an excellent opportunity for citizens to have an up-close look at what goes into making a costume for a major Hollywood or TV production. You just don’t think of the research that goes into making a costume,” Osborn says. 49 Enjoy October 2010
“This is more than a costume show,” says Julia Cronin, Turtle Bay’s exhibitions manager. “This really looks at how costumes create a character and how costume designers look at different cultures to create characters.” The text and video accompanying the exhibition offer in-depth discussions on how visitors can consider color, style, scale, materials, traditions and cultural cues when looking at the characters in some of their favorite films and television series. “Visually, it’s very appealing. They really did a lot of research and work getting this exhibition together. I think it will really appeal to our audiences,” Cronin says. In all, the exhibition features 43 artifacts, ranging from the leather jacket worn by Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and Dan Aykroyd’s Dr. Raymond Stantz costume from continued on page 51

“Ghostbusters II” to the embroidered robe worn by actor Joe Turkel in his role as creator of the replicants in “Blade Runner.” The costumes and other artifacts are organized into sections based on themes such as “heroes and villains,” “creating the character” and “caped crusaders.” There also will be sections devoted to the “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” franchises. Cronin, who notes that she saw the first “Star Wars” film when she was in junior high school, says the science-fiction blockbuster and the movies that followed “are part of our cultural touchstone.” “There are not too many people who haven’t been affected by ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Star Trek,’” agrees Osborn. “It really affects all generations. This exhibition is something that all generations can enjoy and get a better, in-depth look at what it takes to make a costume and why they look like they do.” “We’re very excited about this show. It’s visually appealing, well researched and so culturally attached. In TV and movies, we look up to people who don’t even exist. This shows how they’re put together,” Cronin says. Greg Lynch of Redding, a self-described “Star Wars geek,” shares in Cronin’s excitement – so much so that he and a half-dozen other fans will attend opening ceremonies in their own Imperial Stormtrooper costumes. Darth Vader also is expected to be in attendance. Although they wear the dark side’s colors, Lynch says his group—part of a nationwide organization of people who don “Star Wars” costumes—only gathers to support non-profits and the forces of good. “We’re aware that it is all George Lucas’ intellectual property, so we never charge anything or sell stuff. We do it all for charity,” Lynch says. “It’s a great way to give back to the community.” Lynch says the troopers are excited about Turtle Bay’s latest exhibition. “I agree with the curator. It’s a thinking person’s exhibit, with a lot of data and information on what went into the costumes and how they draw from cultural cues. It also appeals to the generalized fan who just wants to see stuff from the movies and TV. All of us guys are tickled pink to be part of it.” If some folks wonder what Batman’s cape, the Terminator’s jacket and Capt. James Kirk’s tunic are doing in a Turtle Bay exhibit, Maggie Redmon, Turtle Bay’s chief operating officer, says her organization routinely incorporates elements from the arts, science, history and the environment when programming exhibitions. “What we try and do is give a variety to our visitors and members, both visually and experientially, Redmon says. Adds Osborn: “The heart of our experience is educating visitors. What do costumes have to do with that? Maybe some kids who come in there and be inspired by the colors, textures or material. Maybe it will jog their brain and they’ll think ‘I can do that’ and it will inspire them to do something.” • www.turtlebay.org www.centralcaliforniagarrison.com The exhibition runs from October 9 through Jan. 9, 2011 Turtle Bay is closed Monday and Tuesday; winter hours are 9 am to 4 pm and 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Admission is free for members; $14, adults; $10, children and seniors. 51 Enjoy October 2010

R ich morgan ’ s rock wall legacy When a person begins to view the miles and miles of rock fences along Rich Morgan’s ranchlands east of Anderson, two immediate questions jump to mind: First, how long did it take to build the things? And second, how many rocks could possibly be lying around southeastern Shasta County? Area historian Dottie Smith calls the rock walls the “eighth wonder of Shasta County.” “Any person I take out there on a tour, they’re totally shocked,” Smith says. “They’re so unusual and beautiful.” Rich Morgan’s wife Maxine, thinks it’s a beautiful legacy that her husband is leaving with the rock walls. Morgan himself says the fences are simply a matter of practicality. “We got tired of chasing cows up and down the road,” says Morgan, who’s been in the cattle business since the 1950s. The rock fences – some 17 miles of them – are impossible to miss along Ash Creek and Wildcat roads. They’re four to five feet tall, and an equally impressive five to six feet wide. Morgan and his crews have worked on the walls over the past nine years, but only during about two months of each summer. During the spring and fall, they’re too busy moving and tending to cattle. In the winter, it’s too wet. In addition to containing cattle, the thousands of rocks used for the walls

have freed up some of the land, allowing for more grass to grow. All the smaller rocks were lifted from the ground by hand and put into a loader. The large base rocks were set in place with the help of an excavator. The seemingly countless amounts of rocks in the area were left behind from massive mud and ash flows (lahars) from the Lassen Volcanic National Park area after Mt. Tehama erupted more than a million years ago, says Bureau of Land Management geologist Ron Rogers. The mudflows are known as the Tuscan Formation. Even though it looks like a billion rocks have already been used, Morgan says there are plenty more. “If we had the time, we could build a hundred miles of rock fences,” he says. Back in 1961, Morgan started something else that’s become a solid fixture in the north state – Holiday Quality Foods. In 1997, he sold the grocery franchise to his children, Richie and LaVonne Morgan. Richie Morgan currently controls the business, which includes 13 stores across far Northern California. When it comes to his historic Holiday Ranch, the idea to start building rock fences was originated by his late former ranch hand Bob Burnham. Because of the density of the ground in the area, Burnham understood the difficulties of digging traditional fencepost holes.
“(Bob) said, ‘With all the rocks laying around here, we might as well use rocks (for the fences),’ ” Morgan says. “So that’s how we got started. He showed us how to do it.” Though Morgan has moved plenty of rocks himself (as three back surgeries will attest), it has been a wide variety of others who have done the majority of the labor. In addition to his work crews, school groups (including the Anderson High football team), friends and other groups have all contributed to the project. Morgan’s brother Don, a former Tehama County deputy sheriff who died this summer, was a major contributor. Don Morgan helped organize crews of workers and he ran the excavator that set many of the large base rocks. Though Morgan believes the fences are the most practical solution to containing cattle, there are times when he realizes they’re a bit more than that. Cattle buyers have spent hours talking about the fences before ever moving on to the subject of cattle. Area residents have told him they always bring their out-of-town guests for a look-see at the walls. Sightseers often cruise along Ash Creek and Wildcat roads to view the fences. “We’ve had people from Ireland come by and say we need to go show them how to do it,” Morgan says, referring to the country known for its rock fences. “There’s no doubt about it, they look nice.” •

even if you’ve been frustrated before… Dear Friend, One hour. That’s all it takes to find out if perhaps there’s a solution to health problems that have nagged you for months or even years. Every day, people come to see me that have suffered for months or years, and are still suffering. Some tell me that they’ve “tried everything.” They claim they’ve had “every” test, wound up with huge medical bills, but are still no better off. Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for.
I suffered from pain, stiffness, asthma and chronic stomach pain. For the first time ever I realized that I had only been masking the pain rather than really fixing the problems! I have had amazing results with Dr. Kremer and I am enjoying my life again! Kathleen G.
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.
People that come to see me are looking to be pain free and healthy again. That’s what we do.
Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Another way to save…peer-reviewed published studies show that chiropractic may increase immune system function, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, the flu, and other sicknesses. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much. 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 whole 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).
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.
Our goal is to give you the best care we can possibly give you. You’ll get great care at a great fee.
For the last 11 years, people from Red Bluff and the surrounding area have come to see me with their carpal tunnel syndrome problems. They also come to me with their:
My assistants are Stacy, Jasmine, Dale and Abby in the Red Bluff Office. Dr. Edward’s assistants are Jeri and Susie in the Redding Office. They are all great and absolutely full of love.
• • • • • • • • •
Our two offices have amazing doctors to serve and take care of you. Our offices are both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home! We have a wonderful service offered at an exceptional fee. We are open 6 days a week. We can help you!
Headaches Migraines Chronic Pain Neck Pain Shoulder/Arm Pain Whiplash from car accidents Backaches Numbness in limbs Athletic injuries Just to name a few…
Here is what some of my patients have to say: I have lived the past 6-7 years with chronic low back pain and due to the medications I felt like I was rotting away, until I met Dr. Kremer! Now my life has changed and I feel like a new man! Wayne V.
Tens of millions of Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are greatly reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. A seven-year study compared costs of people seeing medical providers vs. chiropractors. Overall the patients seeing chiropractors had 60% less hospitalization, 59% less days in the hospital, 62% less outpatient surgeries, and 85% less costs for prescription drugs!!

E rnie & sue odell’ s ono winery Beautifully situated on top of a mountain, off a winding Ono road, sits Sue Odell’s dream: Acres and acres for her miniature donkeys to run and play, as well as a sustainable farm. On the other side of the mountain, nestled among the pine trees, are sprawling vines of grapes—her husband’s dream. A dream which nearly died, as did he. Three years ago, Ernie Odell had a major stroke, one so bad it left Sue with a huge decision to make. “We decided as a family that we wouldn’t let Ernie’s dream die,” says Sue. So they continued the family winery. “Let’s just say I’ve had a really high learning curve.” Sue knows a thing or two about learning; both she and Ernie are retired teachers, and have been in the area for nine years. This bionic woman not only cares for the vineyard, she maintains 20 acres, complete with horses, cows, goats, and, of course, those famous donkeys. Her 92-year-old mother, Dorothy, acts as the “ranch manager,” zipping around the Ono countryside in an orange Kubota utility vehicle. Ernie, who is bouncing back extremely well (though it’s still day-to-day), does all of the irrigation himself, wandering about the property testing levels and micromanaging the grapes as only a science teacher would. continued on page 57
October July 2010 Enjoy 56
“We’re proud of the fact that we do everything ourselves.” When Ernie set out to plant a grapevine and make a gallon or two of wine, neither he nor Sue envisioned that they would soon have more than 1,400 vines, producing 200 to 300 cases of wine. They like to keep it small and exclusive so they can better nurture the grapes. According to Ernie, fewer grapes on the vine leads to better quality and more nutrients, since the vine isn’t overstressed. “Some people want quantity, quantity, but sometimes with that you lose quality, quality.” Their “little retirement project” has grown into quite the adventure. Ono Wines has three varietals, Petite Syrah, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine itself is a dark, beautiful color, with a smooth, fruity flavor; they lightly oak the wine so as not to cover up the fruitiness. They enjoy drinking red wine, so that is the grape they grow. The irony, however, is that because of his medication, Ernie cannot drink alcohol anymore, but he can still manage his grapes, which seems to be just fine with him, considering how close he 57 Enjoy October 2010
came to losing everything. About five years ago, the Odells built a “green” building for storing the wine. Energy efficient and well-insulated, the wine room stays a comfortable 70 degrees, and the whole building is run on a swamp cooler. “We’re proud of the fact that we do everything ourselves,” says Sue. “That way, we can manage every step of the process.” They even employ the help of friends and family when it’s harvest time (early September). Sue puts out a spread of food and everyone chips in, including their children and grandchildren, who like to cork the wine. It truly is a family affair. The whole operation is basically local, which is how the Odells would like to keep it. “We’re just plugging away, hoping to break even,” Ernie says. “If you want to make a small fortune, you’d better start with a big one.” And while they would like to get their name out there and better market their product, they stay decidedly low-tech and
rely on farmers’ markets and local stores to carry their wine. Although it is Ernie’s dream that Sue has been harvesting for the past few years, the Ono Winery has blended nicely with Sue’s love of donkeys. For instance, the name of the varietals is a pun on the sounds donkeys make, “Caber-Bray Sauvignon,” and “HeeHaw Syrah,” and the accolades on the label are a twist on what donkeys eat. The wine label itself was born from a painting by artist Lisa Baechtle, which is proudly displayed on the fireplace mantel. Says Sue, “It’s a perfect balance, the donkeys and the wine—two wonderful things we love that go together.” Strolling among the vines and through the pasture, it’s easy to see why that little piece of heaven, on a mountaintop in Ono, is exactly the balance the Odells need. • For more information about Ono Wines, call (530) 396-2719, or email Sue at sueo@snowcrest.net.

the dairyville orchard festival When it comes to basic cake recipes, one could reference a celebrity chef or a grandma’s tattered recipe file and come up with something spectacular. When it comes to prune cake, however, one had best consult the 36 ladies who submitted the very same recipe to a California Prune Board recipe contest. The now famous “36 Lady Prune Cake” is a highlight of the Dairyville Orchard Festival, and one of many treats awaiting its visitors. Agriculture is a nearly $190 million industry in Tehama County and is the heart of this rural area. While the economic impacts are huge, perhaps more important is the community and pride of place that is cultivated along with the walnuts, dried prunes, almonds and olives here. Nowhere is this more widely celebrated than the annual Dairyville Orchard Festival held the third Thursday of every October. This year’s event, set for October 16, is not to be missed by anyone wanting to experience fresh-from-the-harvest nuts and dried plums, baked goods and more, as well as a community eager to share the joy of hard work well done. “Harvest season is an exciting time in Dairyville, even if you don’t farm,” says Kathy Garcia, one of the festival’s founders. “There is a buzz of activity all over the place – the festival is an extension of that excitement.” continued on page 61 October 2010 Enjoy 60
“ There is a buzz of activity all over the place.” Dairyville, located between Red Bluff and Los Molinos on historic Highway 99, is one of the more beautiful areas of the county, with aged walnut, prune and almond trees lining the road and two roadside stands selling local crops. Burlison’s is open year round, with honey and nuts among the offerings while Julia’s Fruit Stand is open for the high growing season through Halloween, when the vegetable garden is converted to a pumpkin patch. The best deals, however, are available one day only at the Dairyville Orchard Festival. This is when local farmers and producers showcase their finest products under a big tent that is the heart of the festival. Serious foodies – and those looking to get some holiday shopping done early –-have learned to arrive in the morning, because despite thousands of pounds packaged especially for the event, the nuts and dried plums always sell out by mid-afternoon. The festival showcases raw nuts ready for baking as well as flavored varieties ready for snacking. Dairyville Chocolate Prunes are another signature treat at the festival, on par with the 36 Lady Prune Cake. An agriculture booth wouldn’t be complete in Tehama County without its “liquid gold,” extra virgin olive oil. Pacific Farms and Orchards of Gerber, just down the road from Dairyvillle, does a brisk business in its award-winning Pacific Sun blends such as Proprietor’s Select, Tehama County Blend and Meyer Lemon oils. Partner Brendon Flynn loves participating in the Orchard Festival because it gives his family an opportunity to support higher education and agriculture in the same day. The Agriculture Tent at the Dairyville Orchard Festival isn’t just 61 Enjoy October 2010
about showcasing local crops and products. It’s a fundraiser for local scholarships. Each product is either donated to the festival or sold at or below wholesale so that proceeds may build this fund which has exceeded $100,000 over the years. While the highlight of any agricultural festival would be the crops, the Dairyville Orchard Festival also features arts and crafts, prepared food, music and entertainment, antique tractors, informational booths and a Lil’ Farmers section for the kids. Parking and admission are always free. As the days grow shorter and cooler, come down to Dairyville to celebrate the harvest, meet the farmers who tend the orchards and savor the fruits of their labor. • Dairyville Orchard Festival October 16 Lassen View School 10818 Highway 99E Los Molinos 10 am - 4 pm www.dairyvillefestival.org

it ’ s time for halloween fun When the North State grows dark early and bedtimes come sooner, when the air is crisp, and when friends tell friends stories of werewolves, vampires and princesses that save the world, children begin to look forward to Halloween. Planning for Halloween is part of the fun. Deciding on what costume to choose holds much of the pleasure. Kids dream about being a fairy or a man who can fly through the sky. Anderson Middle School sixth-grader Tyler Martin recalls, “Since I was 6, I was always a superhero like Superman or Spiderman because it made me feel like I could save the town.” Codie Martino, also a sixth-grader from Anderson Middle School, says, “When I was young I wanted to be a knight, but I never got the chance to be a knight on Halloween. I tried and tried, but there weren’t any costumes in the stores. I’m going to see if they have the costume this year. I think knights are cool with all their gear of swords and shields.” Some children make their costumes, which gives the child a chance to use his or her creativity and enjoy a feeling of pride. Eleven-yearold Ashonti Hawkins remembers, “One year, my brother, Briceton, got some cardboard from boxes and made it into a cactus with little arm holes for the ‘T’ shape.” He then painted the cactus green and stuck toothpicks into the cardboard “all over, front and back, the sides, even on the arms. On Halloween, he wore it and though it was kind of hard to walk, he was so happy because he made it himself.” Many North State kids get to take school field trips to Nash Ranch Pumpkin Patch or Hawes Farms to hunt for the perfect pumpkin to 65 Enjoy October 2010
carve into a jack-o-lantern. Children are told by teachers to choose one that they can carry by themselves onto the bus and home. Nash and Hawes have more than just pumpkins. For example, Nash offers train rides, a petting cage, and pony rides. Hawes has a hayride and a jumping pillow. Both have a corn maze and a haunted mansion. Eleven-year-old Will Farrare says, “I mostly love Halloween because of the haunted houses because they are fun to go through. I never get scared.” Harvest festivals have become a favorite activity for many children. Churches and schools offer fun activities such as cake walks, dunk tanks and fishing for goldfish. Grant School harvest festival cochairperson Rebecca Calkins says, “The festival builds community and friendships. It’s an evening for children to simply have fun.” All the planning and all the pre-Halloween activities point to the night children have waited for: October 31. They pull on their costumes, paint their faces and grab their plastic pumpkin buckets or king-sized pillow cases and head out to trick-or-treat. “My best time of year is Halloween because I get yummy tasty treats,” says Jesus Garcia of Anderson. “I like going to every house.” “Halloween is a fun, happy time where you can be something else, forget your troubles and have fun. Pulling on my costume makes me feel indestructible,” explains Katie Banning of Anderson Middle School. “Halloween, to me, is a big deal and a day where you can live your dreams, whether you want to be a beautiful princess or a superhero.” •

challenge R edding C ommunity baseball field needs our votes
The Redding Community Baseball Field project is planning an all-star fund-raising event in October and it’s counting on the community to score for the home team. However, this time around, instead of a monetary commitment, supporters are being asked to contribute by casting their vote. From October 1-31, the Redding Community Baseball Field is a finalist for a $250,000 grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project. Each month, Pepsi is giving away millions in grants to programs and ideas that benefit communities. The program with the most votes receives the grants. “We’re just asking the community to take a few seconds of their day, go online and vote for the project,” says Josh Markle of Simpson University, where the field will be constructed. The project is short by about $350,000 of the $2.2 million needed to begin construction. The new stadium will be used by Simpson University’s Red Hawks, Redding Colt .45s and Redding Youth Baseball, Inc. Organizers say that the field will also host concerts and shows, but is primarily for at-risk youth to participate in sports. The community can help this initiative by voting daily, spreading the word and joining the project’s Facebook page, Markle says. Throughout the month, volunteers with iPads will be positioned at various locations with Wi-Fi hotspots and petitioning people to vote.
As an incentive, four iPads will be given away to top voters during a drawing at the end of October. To vote for the project, visit the Pepsi Refresh Project website, www.refresheverything.com, click on the $250,000 category and scroll down to the Redding Community Baseball Field. Afterwards, visit the “Let’s Play Ball” Facebook page www.facebook.com/ letsplayball and enter the drawing for the iPads. Participants can vote for the field and enter the drawing once a day for the duration of the month. The Redding Community Baseball Field project has generated support from many individuals and businesses in the North State and committee member Roger Janis says the field has great appeal for everyone in the community. “The biggest benefit this stadium will provide is a safe and family-friendly environment, where our community and our kids can enjoy,” says Janis. “We can’t lose with that.” • Josh Markle, Simpson University (530) 226-4614 Roger Janis, Redding Community Baseball Field Fundraising Committee (530) 949-2766 www.refresheverything.com www.facebook.com/letsplayball

This month, we celebrate Spain’s famous dish, paella. And to toast Spain’s World Cup win, sangria, of course. The success of your paella will depend on the quality and freshness of the ingredients, and for the sangria, good red wine and fresh fruit. Paella originated in Spain’s countryside where farmhands would simmer, over a fire, short-grained rice in a flat pan, adding whatever edibles were at hand – local vegetables and perhaps a chicken or a rabbit. Along the shore, fishermen would embellish their paellas with seafood. Today, paella has universal appeal with hundreds of regional variations.Other than a couple of key ingredients, it is the preparation that makes the difference. Don’t be intimidated. Use authentic ingredients and you can prepare a perfect feast. Traditionally paella is cooked in a “paellera” - a wide, round, shallow pan. A 17-inch paellera will serve from six to eight people, but larger pans also exist. If you do not own one, a shallow casserole should also work. Although paellas were traditionally prepared outdoors over an open fire, you can still achieve a delectable paella in modern kitchens. Prepare your stovetop by straddling the pan over two burners, rotating it regularly to distribute the heat evenly. Turn up the heat in the final minutes of cooking until the rice at the bottom of the pan turns crisp. Seafood, Chicken and Sausage Mixed Paella Ingredients: 10 – 12 mussels 10 – 12 clams Olive oil 2 chorizo sausages, cut into chunks 1 t paprika ¼ t dried oregano 2 – 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks 5 cloves garlic, minced 1 large onion, chopped fine 1 small red, 1 green and 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips 2 large tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped or 1 can crushed tomatoes 3 c Calasparra or Arborio rice 6 c chicken broth ¼ t saffron (optional as expensive, but worth it) ¼ t turmeric Salt and pepper 10 – 12 uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined 4 oz peas 4 T capers 1 T chopped parsley 1 c stuffed Spanish Olives, sliced Lemon wedges Sangria Ingredients: 1 bottle good dry red wine ½ c Cointreau ½ c brandy Juice of 1 large orange Juice of 1 medium lemon Juice of 1 medium lime 2 T confectioner’s sugar Club soda, to taste 1 small orange, 1 small lemon, 1 small lime – all sliced thin crosswise 71 Enjoy October 2010

S eafood, C hicken and S ausage M ixed Paella Scrub and de-beard mussels and clams, discarding any that do not close when tapped sharply. Place chicken in zip-loc or a bowl with a lid. Add 2 T olive oil, the oregano and paprika and marinade for 30 minutes. Start by heating ¼ c olive oil in the paellera or a skillet. Add the chorizo and warm through to render oils and seasoning. Remove and cook chicken until browned on all sides, but not cooked completely through. Remove and set aside. Add about 2 T olive oil and cook garlic, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers (reserve a few strips of the bell peppers for garnish). While cooking, stir until the onions become translucent and caramelization starts. Next, add 4 T olive oil to mixture and the rice. Sauté rice until translucent. Pour in chicken broth, and combine well. Add saffron and turmeric and stir until well mixed. Rotate pan and stir. Add in chicken, chorizo, peas and capers, combining well. Once combined, do not stir again. Rotate pan throughout the next 10 – 15 minutes and liquid has been reduced by about half. Next, nestle the mussels and clams to mixture, do not stir. Allow to cook and just as they begin to open, nestle the shrimp into the mixture. Decorate paella with bell pepper strips and continue rotating until liquid is absorbed and shrimp is no longer pink. Discard any mussels and clams that fail to open. Garnish with parsley, green olives and lemon wedges. Serve as the Spanish still do - straight from the pan, still steaming and placed in the middle of the table. No meal is complete without company and conversation, and Paella is the perfect dish for this! Serves 6 to 8
sangria Mix all liquid ingredients and sugar in a large pitcher. Refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, add the club soda, orange, lemon, and lime slices. Serve over ice. Makes 6 glasses

occupation ALPACAS
WHAT’S IN STORE get warm and fuzzy with castle ranch alpacas Sometimes change comes by choice; other times, it’s forced by circumstances beyond one’s control. It was a little bit of both that led to the creation of Castle Ranch Alpacas. When an accident ended Teresa Hall’s nursing career, she started to look for a new avenue to remain busy. She was drawn to alpacas purely out of curiosity, and now she and her husband, Rick Hall, consider 24 alpacas to be part of their family. Teresa, a Fall River High School graduate, and Rick, an Anderson High graduate who has worked in juvenile corrections for nearly 30 years, shared some insight into these curious creatures. They also told us about the unique products that they will be selling in Enjoy The Store.

This month’s feature, Castle Ranch Alpacas, including warm scarves, adorable hats, unique jewelry and more:
Tell me about yourselves and your business. I was looking for a new career, and saw something about alpacas on TV. I called my husband and asked, “What’s an alpaca?” We looked them up, and a year later, we bought our first one. We started on a shoestring and a hope. We bought a mom and a baby. They cost $15,000 to $20,000 each; we started out with the best we could afford so the fiber would be top notch. That was eight years ago. Our business is based on family values – our kids are heavily involved (Gabrielle is 18, Nicholas is 14 and Michael is 10). They help us daily. It’s their job to feed them, and they help halter break and show them. What products will you sell in Enjoy The Store? We sell soap, hats, scarves, purses, socks, yarn, jewelry. We have beautiful crocheted items. Everything is made in the USA. We’re going to have really amazing, high-end stuff for the store. What is the biggest challenge of raising alpacas? The circle of life – birth and death. You get to love them. We name them all – we had a little one born last year that I named The Unsinkable Molly Brown, but we then realized it was a boy, so we named him A Boy Named Sue. We have Mustang Sally, named after my favorite song, and the boys named one Flash Gordon. My son named one Boom Boom Rocket. Why are alpaca products unique? Alpaca fiber doesn’t require scouring like sheep – you can knit right off the animal. It’s a warmer wool, softer than cashmere, and it’s hypoallergenic. It wicks moisture away, so it makes great socks for hunting and other outdoor activities. What are alpacas like? Alpacas used to be treasured by Incans hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was called the fiber of the kings. Ours are like part of our family. These animals are highly intelligent. They’re funny and quiet. The kids can click train them to do obstacle courses. They’re small and mild-mannered – the perfect livestock. What’s a little-known fact about your business? We know where every strand of hair comes from. We include it on our tags, so you can see which animal your product came from. It really boosts our sales to do that and it’s fun. •

S H A S TA W I L D L I F E R E S C U E & R E H A B I L I TAT I O N Sometimes the life of a wild animal gets a little – well, wild. They’re hit by cars, grazed by hunters’ bullets, captured by cats, tangled up in power lines and sickened by pesticides. Some fall out of their nests; some end up motherless. Fortunately, volunteers come to the rescue. Shasta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping sick, orphaned or injured wildlife. Volunteers provide intensive care for more than 1,000 animals per year, including raptors and other birds, deer, small mammals and more. “Our goal is to rehabilitate and release them out to the wild,” says Janet Story, Shasta Wildlife’s volunteer coordinator and board member. Shasta Wildlife began as a division of Carter House Science Museum in 1979. As the number of wounded or orphaned wildlife grew, volunteers launched a separate organization (and lacking space, they took the critters home). The group spent several years in a building provided by Haven Humane Society and in 1991 opened its current Anderson River Park location. The facility includes a 1,500-square-foot building, outdoor wildlife enclosures and a large flight area that helps large raptors rebuild their strength before they are released. It is only open to the public during its open house in early April. Shasta Wildlife has more than 500 members, and 70 volunteers donate more than 20,000 hours of time during the center’s “season” – from the time baby birds begin falling from their nests in mid-April until the end of August. It is licensed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. “You never know what’s going to come in,” says Story, who has been a volunteer for eight years. “A lot of folks think they’re going to hold Bambi all day. It’s hard work. I’m tired when I get home.” The majority of the center’s “clients” are of the winged variety. Birds that fall from their nests often end up being delivered to the wildlife rescue, where volunteers feed them every 20 minutes – just like mother would do. “The thing that impresses me the most is that these little animals come in, typically they’ve lost their mama, and
they learn the syringe and identify it as food so quickly that when they see you coming, they chirp for you and flap their little wings,” Story says. The birds are then transitioned into larger cages, where they begin to learn to retrieve food from the bottom of the cage. Once they master that, they go to the flight room and have very little contact with people. The final step is an outdoor aviary so they can acclimate to the weather, and then they’re released to the wild. Some birds, like woodpeckers, must be released into their own colony, so volunteers always ensure that they know exactly where the injured or abandoned bird was found so it can be returned to that same spot. “One lady who brought a bird in ended up bringing her family down to watch its release (several months later),” Story says. “We watched his reunion with his parents and it was very rewarding.” One of the center’s primary objectives is to educate the public about how to coexist with wildlife, since many “patients” end up there because of an unfortunate encounter with people and their pets. The center’s Educational Animal Program promotes wildlife conservation in schools, nursing homes and other places. And their robust website includes information about what to do if you find a wild animal, among other tips. Because the independent organization is funded entirely by donations, it depends on annual fundraisers. “Art on the Wild Side” is planned from noon to 6 pm Nov. 6 at Win-River Casino in Redding. Tickets are $10 (children under 8 are free), and guests can enjoy wine, cheese and other refreshments as they peruse work by local artists who specialize in wildlife and the environment. Dr. Ray John will be the auctioneer for live auctions at 1:30, 3:30 and 5:30 pm, and a silent auction is also planned. All proceeds buy food, medical supplies and other items for treatment and care of the animals. “It’s a celebration of artists,” says Executive Director Irish Robertson. “It’s an opportunity for local artists to be recognized. It will be set up like a New York art studio, with a black and white backdrop so artists’ projects pop out.” • www.shastawildliferescue.com • (530) 365-9453 Exceptional Living

This is our community; we love the beauty, family and friends we are surrounded with. Yet, of course, we also like to leave town and get a taste of the bigger world out there. We love Enjoy because it brings both of those elements together. The style and quality are something you would experience in a big city, while at the same time we are able to turn the pages to see names, faces, businesses and nonprofits that we know and love. Reading Enjoy feels like an experience in supporting our community, our local talent and our local causes. Thank you, Enjoy magazine for giving us this experience. We always look forward to see what is coming next!
