Fireworks, family, fellowship, friends, food —these are just some of the ways we are celebrating the birth of this sweet land of liberty. Those who say patriotism is lost on the young haven’t had the pleasure of hearing Ashtin Lopeman and Jennifer Peyton, both of red Bluff. These teenagers spend their summer harmonizing the National Anthem at rodeos near and far. Owning a business is the proverbial American dream, and the two spirited sisters behind the Klassique Kafe have been living that dream for 30 years. You might end up dreaming about their always-homemade creations. They have an extra soft spot in their heart for veterans, and expect a hug at the door if you’ve been there more than a few times. You won’t want to wait to get your tickets for “chicago,” Shasta college’s summer production that lured the incredibly talented James Santos back to his hometown to serve as guest artist, choreographer and co-director. He and Dean Munroe have assembled a brilliant cast and can’t wait to show you the results of their tireless work. This month, we’ll also tell you about a group of retired coaches who still scheme up ways to make the world a better place, a now-grown man and his mentor whose relationship was cemented over a mutual love of cars, and the Dark Sky Festival, a stellar display that will leave you star-struck. We’ll see you at the civic for the Fourth of July Freedom Festival (which also closes the 10th anniversary celebration of the Sundial Bridge), and don’t forget to join us for Enjoy Movies in the Park, which will be at Anderson river Park in July. Happy birthday, America the Beautiful!

f R e e D o M f e S t i va l at t h e C i v i C a U D i to R i U M

oN a SiNgle eveNiNg eaCh yeaR, North State residents delight in a spectacular show that, at a cost of almost $4,000 a minute, otherwise would be prohibitive for all but a select few. And it is absolutely free. Since 1990, The Mcconnell Foundation has funded the city of redding’s Fourth of July Freedom Festival fireworks display, with nearly $1.7 million awarded to date. “Mrs. Mcconnell was a frugal and private person who loved fireworks,” says Shannon Phillips, vice president of operations at the foundation. “$80,000 up in smoke may not appear to be the best investment, but as she used to say, ‘At least you can see where your money is going.’” What spectators do not see is the behind-the-scenes planning that goes into ensuring a safe and successful show year after year. The 21-minute event begins months before the actual display, with meetings to determine a budget and to debrief what did and did not work from the previous year. With such input, rialto-based Pyro Spectaculars’s Matt Gilfillan plans and choreographs the annual show. Pyro’s enduring relationships with firework manufacturers worldwide and a database of product inventory that includes details

like shell caliber, description, duration, and time from discharge to the firework’s prescribed altitude all help Gilfillan design an artistic one-of-a-kind “sky concert.” “This year, spectators can look forward to a Sundial Bridge-themed soundtrack in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Bridge, accompanied by one of the largest aerial fireworks displays in the country,” says Gilfillan. “Pyrotechnic products from around the world will be choreographed to the soundtrack.” The musical simulcast will be broadcast on KLXr 1230 AM. Not all bursts and bangs are created alike. Historically, firework characteristics vary by manufacturer region. Those from Asia, for example, exhibit burst floral patterns while European fireworks are known for whistling, spinning and novelty effects. Knowledge of each firework’s unique capabilities is essential to designing a well-orchestrated show. In preparation, the pyrotechnic operator arrives with a crew on July 1 to lay out and brace the equipment, prepare the electronic firing system, load the display shells into the mortars, wire each device to4

the electronic firing system based on the show’s script, test and troubleshoot challenges, and work with the radio station to receive the signal to safely discharge the devices on cue. The crew collaborates with the city of redding to monitor the firing site before, during and after the performance. “We are very safety conscious,,” says Michael Bachmeyer, division chief of fire prevention for the city. “Everyone is there to have a good time and celebrate. The last thing we want is to end the evening with a tragedy.” To this end, Bachmeyer and his team make sure all the wires Pyro Spectaculars has run are carrying the proper signal, all the boxes holding the shell tubes of each firework are constructed to code and that the proper firework “fallout” distances are in place (see Facts box). Kim Niemer, director of community services for the city of redding and coordinator of the event, estimates more than 10,000 people attend the show at the redding civic Auditorium and twice as many watch from other locations around the city. “It used to be that people would show up at 10 in the morning and hang out all day,” says Niemer. “There are still those that do, but if the temperature is hot, we like people to come a little later in the day.” But not too late. “It gets very, very crowded,” says Niemer. “By the time we hit 9:30 pm, it is shoulder to shoulder.” •

a lead fuse is lit by manual or electronic means. it travels instantly to the base of the aerial shell, igniting the black powder lift charge. the lift charge explodes, propelling the shell out of the mortar and igniting the time fuse. the time fuse burns slowly into the center of the aerial shell as the shell rises into the sky. once the lit time fuse reaches the center of the shell (at approximately the same instant the shell reaches the apex of its flight), it ignites the burst charge. the burst charge explodes, rupturing the outer casing of the shell and igniting its contents (the “stars”), dispersing them into the sky. the stars consist of powder mixed with various elements to create different visual or audible effects. for example, barium makes green, copper makes blue, magnesium, aluminum, or titanium make silver, and strontium makes red. ~ Matt gilfillan

QUiCk faCtS• fireworks are contained within a shell that is contained within a support box of a specified dimension of lumber thickness to meet safety code requirements.

• an estimated 1,500 shells were fired at last year’s show. the Redding show shoots up to an 8-inch diameter shell. • firework “fallout” distance is 70-feet-per-inch of shell. • with an 8-inch shell, Redding requires a minimum of 560 feet of fallout clearance in all directions.

• Personnel working the event wear helmets and use the same type of safety gear that firefighters use.

• No alcohol, animals, or smoking permitted at the Civic auditorium.

eRiC PettiNgeR'S love of wateR SkiiNg CaN be tRaCeD back to his time growing up in red Bluff when he’d zoom across the Sacramento river. The 60-year-old former two-time U.S. slalom water ski champion would happily return to those boyhood days on the river and on Lake red Bluff except for one thing: he owns a lake dedicated to water skiing. And a lake dedicated to wakeboarding. “It was fun. I really enjoyed it,” Pettinger says of his childhood exploits. “But once you get to a private lake with 85-degree water and optimum conditions, it’s hard to go back.” Pettinger built villa Lagos in 1998, carving the two lakes out of a 68-acre oat field. The project was undertaken partly out of convenience—he says it was getting too hard to stage water ski competitions on public lakes—and to provide the best possible skiing conditions. For years, Pettinger dreamed of creating a lake dedicated to water

skiing, where athletes could glide across glass-smooth water free of anglers, houseboats, buoys and other obstacles. What he didn’t have was a location. “You start out with the idea and then you’re always looking for property, and then one day you stumble across a piece,” he says. In this case, it was a field of winter oats near Gerber, eight miles southwest of red Bluff. “We started measuring things off and ended up buying some equipment.” The end result was a pair of lakes open year-round to skiers and wakeboard riders. “The original plan was to have two slalom lakes and have homeowners on one and members on another,” Pettinger says. “As wakeboarding started becoming more popular, we decided to make the second one a wakeboard lake. It’s a little bit deeper, no islands and a little wider in the center.”4

To keep the water as smooth as possible, Pettinger oriented both lakes to align with the prevailing winds and ringed them with trees to provide wind breaks. On the water ski lake, which is between five and eight feet deep, softened banks help prevent wakes from bouncing back to the lake’s center. The wakeboard lake is a couple feet deeper to create larger wakes, and it features rails, kickers and sliders—features typically found in skateboard parks—to give users more options. “Wakeboarders do grinds on the rails and a lot of inverts and spins off the kickers, and even off the sliders. It’s really amazing what they’re able to do. These kids have amazing balance,” Pettinger says. villa Lagos is served by the El camino Irrigation District and both lakes were filled well before california’s current water shortage. “Once they’re full, it takes a minimum

amount of water to maintain them. We seal them up pretty good. Like everything else, water is money,” Pettinger says. The move toward private lakes started in Southern california in 1968 and has spread north. Pettinger says there are about 20 private lakes in the chico-Orland-redding area, “but people just don’t notice them because they’re tucked away.” More and more, the people who skied on public lakes like Shasta and Whiskeytown are opting for private lakes and Pettinger says wakeboarders are beginning to follow suit. “Wakeboarding is coming on very strong. Young people in the sport are leaning toward the wakeboard side. You don’t notice the water skiing as much because those people are off on private lakes.” Business at villa Lagos picks up during the warmer months, with a lot of users coming from the San Francisco4

Bay Area and even locally from Lake Almanor. “Even though they live by a lake, they’re coming here for the perfect conditions,” Pettinger says. Interest in villa Lagos also picked up in 2012 when a federal court judge ordered the Bureau of reclamation to permanently raise the gates of the red Bluff Diversion Dam, effectively ending Lake red Bluff ’s 46-year run. (The lake was formed when the gates were lowered to fill the Tehama-colusa canal.) “With the lake closing, water skiing and recreation has gone away, and we’ve been able to fill that void for local enthusiasts,” Pettinger says. The lakes have also been a popular training ground for chico State University’s wakeboard team, which won the collegiate Wakeboard National championship in 2012.

Nor cal Hot August Nights, the summer’s first INT-sanctioned ski and wakeboard competition, will be held Aug. 2-3 at villa Lagos. Additional events are tentatively scheduled for September and October. •

althoUgh foR we hUMaNS, the medical ‘house call’ largely belongs to a bygone era, this is not the case for our beloved animal companions. In veterinary medicine, a home visit is just a phone call away. “It really does go back to the idea of more personalized service,” says veterinarian Heather Evans, owner of At Home Mobile veterinary clinic. “When I first started in practice, I worked in a smaller hospital where I had a chance get to know my clients and their animals. Medicine has changed and it is not like that now.” Evans, who has specialized in small animal medicine and surgery since relocating to redding in 1996 after graduating from Uc Davis veterinary school, started At Home to offer a more familiar, “old style” of care. That old style is as much about relationship building as it is about treatment. “It’s just me, the owner, technician and pet,” says Evans. “It’s more relaxed and we can take our time and really get to know the animal and the owner(s).”

The mobile practice has been operating for two and a half years, but Evans first conceived the idea 10 years earlier when she saw a need for such a service in Shasta county. “We receive calls all the time, whether it’s an animal that is down and cannot be put into the car or, as is often the case with cats, will not get into the car,” she says. In addition to domestics, Evans treats exotics, goats and birds (primarily parrots and chickens).At Home patients receive treatment for routine as well as chronic conditions, ranging from eye, ear and skin problems to dental prophylaxis, which requires general anesthesia. “We do it right in the driveway and then wake the animal who can go back in the house,” says Evans. “This way there is less stress to owner and animal.” Non-invasive therapeutic laser treatments are available for animals with arthritis, mobility and joint issues and Evans also offers acupuncture, which she says reduces musculoskeletal pain and speeds up healing time.4

“There are studies that show it has helped people,” she adds. “I use it a lot for orthopedic pain and it works well for acute pain and metabolic diseases. I have used it on kitties with kidney failure and they tend to eat and feel better.” At Home’s state-of-the-art mobile truck includes a surgical suite for routine spay and neuter procedures as well as lump removals and biopsies, abscess drainage and laceration and aural hematoma repair. Most examinations, surgery, x-rays, blood work and ultrasounds can be performed in the mobile clinic; Evans refers those requiring advanced procedures, hospitalization and IcU-level veterinary care to Dana Park veterinary Hospital, where she is on staff. From the perspective of a frightened animal, a veterinarian is often the “bad guy.” To combat this, Evans always travels with one of her two technicians and says,“ Jennifer and Jessica are great. They befriend the pet, help me with restraint, assist on surgeries, and do most of the scheduling.” While elderly and physically challenged pet parents are among the regular clientele, so are those with geriatric, aggressive or multiple animals, pets that experience severe stress-related symptoms during a veterinary visit, and those who have children or work schedules that make the convenience of the mobile clinic attractive. “Because we are mobile and always out in the field, technology has been really helpful,” explains Evans. “Laboratory work is sent to me by email

and I can access it via my smartphone. We can communicate with our clients through email and text messaging, and if I have a client that needs to refill medication, they can order it through my online pharmacy and it will be sent to their home.” In addition to her busy practice, Evans provides spay/neutering services twice yearly as part of Saving Animals From Euthanasia’s (SAFE) voucher program. “I bring the mobile hospital to places without one,” she says. “We do an exam, a rabies vaccine and the surgery.” At Home offered services in Lakehead last fall and again in Igo this past spring. For harried pet parents seeking a convenient, less stressful alternative to the veterinarian’s office, At Home may be just what the doctor ordered. And an added bonus: no dog or cat hair in the car. •

the RetiReD CoaCheS haD a gooD tiMe over breakfast. They enjoyed each other’s company and shared a lot of memories. But it didn’t take long before someone had to say it: “Why don’t we do something?” These are, after all, men and women of action. “Maybe we all have too much energy,” explains former Shasta High football coach Lon Mccasland.

What started as breakfast at the Snack Shack last summer has evolved into a 30-member strong organization called the Nor-cal retired coaches Association. The group is raising money to provide scholarships for high school athletes who may or may not go on to play college sports. The retired coaches are also offering their expertise to administrators and school districts regarding all aspects of coaching. 4

loCAlS | By JiM DyAr



The key motivation for the group is to help young people and pass along their combined knowledge. “It’s a natural that we’d want to do something positive,” says Mccasland, the group’s president and a coach for three decades between Berkeley, Nova and Shasta high schools. “We’ve tried to do that all our lives.” The group will host a fundraising golf tournament on July 28 at riverview Golf and country club in redding. Between special events and sponsorships, the coaches hope to raise enough money to fund multiple scholarships annually. Their motto is “Still in the Game.” “There are coaches throughout the county who still enjoy being a part of kids’ lives,” said chuck crawford, a longtime basketball coach at Shasta High. “The desire to help kids doesn’t just end when you stop coaching. A lot of us are friends and we didn’t want those friendships to go away. But we also want to be of service to kids. It’s in our blood, I guess. I don’t know if there’s another group like this in the universe.” The group, which is open to coaches of all variety from Shasta, Tehama, Trinity and Siskiyou counties, includes a host of well-known names in the far Northern california coaching scene. In addition to Mccasland, longtime Enterprise High football coach clay Erro is in the group, as well as former central valley High coach Bob Johnson. Add up the time between the 30 coaches who have signed on thus far and it’s literally hundreds of years of experience. “It’s never really been about one person or one coach or one program,” said Erro, who retired from Enterprise last year after 37 years of coaching. “I think it’s about the joy we’ve all received from working with kids in team sports. It builds a lot of the skills they’re going to need as adults.” Erro, who continues to help as a walk-on coach at Enterprise, says the new organization seems headed in a great direction in terms of its commitment to helping students and the next generation of coaches.

“It’s for any and all coaches who are interested in continuing to be involved in helping young people,” Erro says. “coaching is more than just teaching physical skills. You have the opportunity to be a positive role model in a young person’s life. That desire doesn’t go away.” Several of the coaches worked together at the former Nova High for ninth-grade students in Shasta county. Mccasland said the experience was invaluable for forming friendship bonds that have lasted decades. Whether they coached with or against each other, however, the group’s members tended to retain a fondness and respect for each other off the field. “When we were involved, we wanted to beat the brains out of the competitor, but after the game we’d still want to have a beer with each other,” says Mccasland. “We’re all real close. The competition is out of the picture now. It’s not ‘what’s in it for me.’ It’s ‘what can we do to help somebody else.’ We have a lot of expertise. Maybe we can help with some of the dos and don’ts of coaching.”•

The 37th lions All-Star Football Committee will be dedicating this year’s game, held at Shasta College on July 19, to the members of the nor-Cal retired Coaches Association for all they have done and all they will do.

aS the CRowD QUieteD in anticipation of The Star Spangled Banner at last month’s reno rodeo, a few were surprised to see not one but two petite teenagers hold up microphones. Small in stature but large in voice, Ashtin Lopeman, 14, and Jennifer Peyton, 15, both of red Bluff, have found an unusual way to spend their summer vacation: harmonizing the National Anthem at rodeos near and far. “It’s an honor,” Jennifer says of the opportunity to lead such large audiences in the patriotic salute. “I love it. I love seeing people smile, even if I mess up.” Messing up isn't common for these two, who have trained with beloved red Bluff music teacher Judi richins and often place first and second in local singing competitions. “We’ve actually competed against each other a lot in singing,” says Ashtin. “It’s not like we strategize against each other.” Instead, the two young women strategize with each other to best use their unique voices to keep things fresh. Ashtin has a voice for opera and says, “It's one of my strong points, but I don't really enjoy it.” Jennifer on the other hand, says, “I mostly sing country songs and what's ‘in’ today.” The daughter of raec and chuck Lopeman, the sound man at many professional rodeos, Ashtin said she was invited to sing the National Anthem because of her family connections. Of legendary rodeo announcer Bob Tallman, she says, “He's like my adopted grandpa.”4

“I never would have thought to do it, ” she says of the gig. “It all got started when we got asked to sing.” Ashtin originally thought to sing with her mom because “I didn't want to sing it by myself.” Plans were in gear, “And then I chickened out!” laughs raec. Jennifer jumped in to save the day, saying of her friendship with Ashtin, “We've always loved music and singing along.” Despite the connections to rodeo, both girls say it’s fun to prove to people that they’ve got legitimate talent. “A lot of people underestimate us,” says Jennifer. Their talents have been proven at such prestigious rodeos as the red Bluff round Up, redding rodeo, St. Paul rodeo and cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming. “It’s actually really fun because I’m really horsey, I guess you could say,” says Ashtin, who looks forward to competing in high school rodeo as a barrel racer and goat and tie-down roper. Jennifer, on the other hand, was not raised in the rodeo world but says she’s come to appreciate it. “A lot of my friends are involved in it, so I’m always at rodeos,” she says. “My favorite event would have to be the steer wrestling.” Both girls agree that there are perks to being at rodeos as musical talent. “We get a lot of royal treatment,” enthuses Ashtin. Hotel rooms are comped, swag is given away and they’ve met county music stars such as the Zach Brown Band, Taylor Swift, reba McEntire and red Bluff ’s own chad Bushnell. come fall, Jennifer will be a sophomore at West valley High and Ashtin will be a freshman at red Bluff High. Jennifer is in the choir and says she takes “all the honors and AP classes I can.” Ashtin has already signed up for show choir and says she’s already started searching for a college where she can board her horse. Though they attend separate schools, the two hold steady to the opportunities to sing for arena crowds. They also know they can weather any storm together, as they’ve already faced the passing of Jennifer's mother to ovarian cancer last year.

For while there’s been a lot of joyful teenage fun touring rodeos, there have also been tears shed and keen responsibility taken, participating as Team Peyton in the relay for Life. But as Jennifer looks to a future in the medical field and Ashtin prepares for high school, Jennifer says, “I guess as we get older, the National Anthem just brings us back together.” •

Melissa Mendonca is passionate about adding stamps to her passport and just as enthusiastic about her hometown of Red bluff. a graduate of San francisco State and tulane universities, she believes in mentoring and service to create communities everyone can enjoy. her favorite words are rebar, wanderlust and change.

afteR two CoMbat toURS iN iRaQ, Senior chief rob Burroughs led his unit safely out of the Gulf, but knew others from Operation Iraqi Freedom who were not as fortunate. Having been given a second chance, he has made it his mission through Homeward Bound Family Support Services to assist post-9-11 veterans within Shasta county.

“No one tells us where to go for help when we return home,” says Burroughs. “Some veterans are calling national organizations to find assistance in Shasta county. Due to base closures, the nearest place (non-disabled) veterans can go for services is Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield, which means they must travel almost 200 miles.”

Additionally, Burroughs says that money sent to many national organizations does not funnel back to the local community because so many on the list need assistance.

He had a better idea. Inspired by a poem-turned-song called “Homeward Bound” (see excerpt on page 42) he penned after returning from his second tour in Iraq, he

created a local organization to assist veterans falling through the gaps in federally funded services.

A sub-organization of the Northern california veterans Museum & Heritage center, also founded by Burroughs, Homeward Bound provides emergency financial, educational, nutritional and other assistance to these personnel, their families and returning and injured warriors.

“When veterans feel hopeless, suicide is more likely,” says Burroughs. “We have had more death by suicide among our veterans since 9-11 than from combat fatalities. We’re talking over 5,000. The program was established to help these younger troops who are trying to get their lives together and make their families work.“

Financial assistance covers rent and utilities, groceries, emergency home and automobile repairs, and critical baby items like food and diapers. Moving, mental health and employment assistance are also available.4

The organization either issues a voucher or pays the bill directly.

“We have paid bus fares, had veterans move into the area who are between jobs and we have helped them with rent and groceries,” says Burroughs. “These folks would not have anything if not for the services we provide,” services enabled by generous support from local businesses and organizations.

“Jersey Mike’s Subs and North valley Bank have given us grants,” says Burroughs. “redding Yamaha and Hild collision center sponsored a motorcycle ride, gathered donations and both businesses provided cash donations.”

At christmas, coldwell Banker c&c Properties sponsored families and the redding Senior center donated handmade children’s blankets, which were distributed in christmas care packages. Many individual donors also contribute.

July 6 marks the organization’s one-year anniversary and since going live online last year, Burroughs says it has helped more than 60 families at a cost of about $20,000.

Since May, Homeward Bound has been housed with the Northern california veteran’s Museum & Heritage center inside the new Eagles Landing, a retail store providing military apparel and uniforms for National Guard and reserves. Burroughs created the store to host the museum and Homeward Bound offices, all of which use volunteer labor.

“One hundred percent of what we take in goes back to our veterans,” he says. “We did everything we could to save their lives over there. We should be doing everything we can to save their lives here.”4

SHow TiME | by Phil ReSeR

iNCeNDio, iN both italiaN aND SPaNiSh, means “fire.” And this name is fitting for a musical group whose sound is all about energy, exploration and passion.

Averaging more than 150 shows a year, Incendio’s live performance is an explosive improvisatory journey, garnering tremendous audience response in such diverse venues as the Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite, the Sundance Film Festival, National Gallery of Art in Washington D.c., california World Festival and The Hult center in Eugene, Ore., just to name a few.

At the heart of its sound is the Latin or Spanish guitar which can conjure up romantic, powerful and bold images. However, other instruments such as the mandolin, bouzouki, violin, celtic harp, piano, bass, synthesizer and various ethnic percussion instruments also play a huge role.

Band leader and guitarist Jean-Pierre Durand says, “Albert King, Stevie ray vaughan, B.B. King, and the like, that’s the emotion I like for people to feel when we

play. So for my roots, I kind of had to go backwards to find it. The music in my family’s house when I was a child included popular Latin American songs. The melodic influence of those songs seeped into me during my youth. Then after Elvis Presley, Kiss, Jimi Hendrix and punk rock, I came back full circle to appreciate both Latin American popular music and the more complex rhythms of Andean folk and afro-Peruvian music, which is really amazing.”

Along with Durand, the group includes Liza carbe on bass and guitar, Jim Stubblefield on guitar and Nicole Falzone and Bryan Brock on drums and percussion.

The band’s music is often associated with nouveau flamenco guitarists such as Jesse cook, Armik and Luis villegas, but Incendio likes to stretch out into other musical styles as well. They subtly bring influences as diverse as Weather report, Jimi Hendrix, XTc, Paco de Lucia, Buddha Bar and Joni Mitchell to bear on their musical tapestry. 4

“baNDS iN the fUtURe MUSt be able to Play well live. that’S the oNly MUSiC MaRket theRe will be.”

—Pete townsend

Masterpiece Musical



SHowTiME | by keRRi RegaN | PhotoS: betSy eRiCkSoN

“I think our music surprises folks because it harkens back to a time of instrumental musicianship and pure energy that is not as prevalent as it once was. Also, those older fans are used to buying albums, and then cDs. They remember what it was like to wait for an album to show up in the stores, or wait for their favorite band to come to their town. The instant gratification of getting an MP3 via the computer didn’t exist. There’s something about that music-finding process that has happily stayed with Incendio. Amongst our fans, we’re like a secret that everyone wants to share with their family and friends.”

Their eighth international cD release, “The Shape of Dreams,” has been at the top of the Amazon charts since its release. With this record, they have introduced prominent electric guitar solos for the first time, says Durand. “We’re known as a Spanish guitar group, but we play electrics too and wanted that represented. We were also able to throw B3 organ and bouzouki in the mix to increase the sonic palette and give our fans something new to dig.”

The cinematic approach that Incendio takes in delivering music has always been part of its sound, and the group’s pieces are often used on film (“Bridesmaids”), television(the History channel, A&E and Showtime) and video games (Far cry 3).

Says Durand: “Since the explosion of the internet, iTunes and the subsequent implosion of the conventional record industry as we’ve known it, it’s never been a better time to be an independent band, particularly if you’re like us and playing music that is not strictly pop geared solely toward young people. We can reach a far wider audience than before and really target them with releases, show dates and new information. It’s a heck of a lot of work, but we get to play for larger and larger crowds and make our living with our music. We get to do what we love.” •

laSSeN volCaNiC NatioNal PaRk and Whiskeytown National recreation Area are sharing their dark sides, encouraging visitors to look up and notice stars and planets that pop into view against the black of night. The night sky in such places can be unbelievable. So much so, that some visitors who see Saturn’s rings for the first time check to see if a photo is affixed to the front of the telescope. “People will think it’s a sticker,” says Lassen Park ranger Kevin Sweeney. “That’s a pretty common reaction. It looks just like a photograph,” says Shasta Astronomy club member Greg Williams, who helps at Whiskeytown star viewings. The astronomy emphasis at Lassen and Whiskeytown is part of a recent push by the National Park Service to embrace the night sky as an important resource. “We’re in this dark corner of california. We still have that darkness,” says Sweeney, noting artificial light in urban areas makes it difficult to observe stars. “We have fewer and fewer places where you can go out and see the Milky Way.” Lassen Park held its first Dark Sky Festival three years ago. This

year’s festival is Aug. 1-3 and includes ranger-led activities, observations with telescopes, film showings of “The city Dark” and talks by NASA scientists. Lassen offers regular constellation tours throughout the summer and has a Junior ranger Night Explorer program for children. Astronomy doesn’t draw visitors to the national park the way its peaks, fumaroles, lakes and trails do. But when the wonders of the night sky are pointed out, Lassen Park visitors often become, well, a little starstruck. “We find these astronomy programs are some of the most popular programs we offer,” Sweeney said. Whiskeytown is getting an enthusiastic response to its programs too. Last summer, Whiskeytown changed its Friday evening ranger talks at Oak Bottom amphitheater, replacing traditional topics like bear safety with astronomy themes. rangers roll in information on nocturnal animals and other after-dark aspects of the park. “There’s a whole different world that happens at night that I think a lot of people don’t think about,” says Interpretive ranger Matt Switzer. The change in topics resulted in more people attending, he says. After each presentation there’s a chance to view the night sky through telescopes.4

SkiesSHow TiME | By lAurA CHriSTMAn | PHoToS CourTESy oF lASSEn volCAniC nATionAl PArK



“It’s a nice way for people to come up and spend the evening and see what they may not be able to see in their own backyards,” Switzer says. “It brings out the inner child in everybody. Everybody gets that sense of wonder and exploration.” Whiskeytown purchased a telescope for the program last summer. Williams, outreach coordinator for Shasta Astronomy club, brings telescopes and offers expertise. Shasta Astronomy club also works with Whiskeytown on special viewing events if there’s a meteor shower or eclipse. And the club holds public star parties twice a month (Saturdays closest to the new moon) at the Mt. Shasta Mine Loop Trail parking area. “Mostly what we try to share is the wonder of what is out there,” Williams says. Telescopes might be trained on Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, nebulas or globular clusters that he says “look like someone poured diamonds on a black piece of satin.” Part of the astronomy push at Lassen and Whiskeytown is enlightening visitors about vanishing darkness. Humans once made their way through the night only by moonlight, and later relied on torches, candles and lanterns. Electricity now fills the night with light. As artificial light intrudes into natural darkness, stars appear smudged or disappear from sight.

There’s more at stake than loss of clarity for star viewing. Light pollution affects nocturnal animals, insects, bird migration and plant cycles, and can impact on our own sleep and health, Sweeney says. While North State communities don’t have as much light at night as urban areas, there is a significant difference between how many stars can be seen from a redding backyard vs. Lassen Park locations, he notes. Darkness is worth protecting, Sweeney says. “Throughout time and throughout different cultures that is one thing all humanity has shared – being able to look up at the night sky. There’s a connection we have with that sky.” •

JaMeS SaNtoS eaRNeD a RePUtatioN in the North State for creating imaginative, larger-than-life productions that rivaled anything you’d find in the big city. Then he was recruited by cirque du Soleil, and his family left redding for Las vegas. This summer, he’ll treat theater fans to an encore when he serves as the guest artist, choreographer and co-director for the smash Broadway hit “chicago,” which opens July 10 at Shasta college. “It all came together, and here we are producing one of the best shows ever written,” says Santos, founding director of A cascade christmas and The Dance Project. “I want there to be a lot of clarity, a quick pace, lots of energy.” “chicago” will be co-directed by Dean Munroe, and Dr. Elizabeth Waterbury will conduct a full orchestra. Scenery and costumes will be created by David Fraser and Hilary Fahey. It’s being produced through Shasta college’s theatre arts department, which stages two main productions during the academic year and a summer theater. Set in Prohibition-era chicago, the musical tells the story of rival murderesses velma Kelly (played by Eilyne Davis) and roxie Hart (rebecca Moseley), who find themselves on Death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows. They get some help from prison matron Mama Morton (played by Obioma Officer) and slick lawyer Billy Flynn (Wade riggs). The original Broadway production opened in 1975, and holds the record for the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. “The material is a bit risque in places, but it has great music, it’s lighthearted and not too heavy,” Santos says. “It’s a really strong cast. There are definitely some people who haven’t been in shows for a while — they’ve been working as teachers or parents or out in the community, and they’re coming out of the woodwork for this.” Santos was artistic director of cirque du Soleil's “Dralion,” then took a promotion elsewhere that allowed him to be home with his family in Las vegas. It wasn’t the right fit for him, so he left that company about a year and a half ago. “I took time to be with the family, but I started missing my creative outlet,” he says.4

He and Munroe directed several shows together many years ago, so they teamed up to make “chicago” happen. They took two weeks to rough out the show in mid-June, and have been spending the remaining time cleaning and perfecting it, Santos says. While actors learn their lines, notes and dance moves, the orchestra rehearses, sets are crafted and costumes are constructed. “Everything is being built right there in those departments,” Santos says. “It’s so great that you can walk down the hallway and see what’s going on. It makes the job easier, and that stirring of energies coming together creates the buzz.” The set will include a street of speakeasies and saloons, and the orchestra will be behind the street. “It’s part of this atmosphere of creating this sense of chicago,” Munroe says. “It’s not very often, especially in the local area, that musicians and dancers and singers come together in a live performance... We’re actually going to make the orchestra part of the show. It’s going to be a challenge for the orchestra, and I hope that makes it more interesting for the audience.” The pair looks forward to watching the curtains rise together once more. “James has just been wonderful. He’s really taking the bull by the horns,” Munroe says. “It should be a pretty exciting situation for the next few weeks until we open. It’s actually a little scary — high schools spend six to eight months putting their show together, we usually take six or seven weeks putting our shows together, and here we're taking four weeks putting ‘chicago’ together.” For Santos’ part, it’s been a thrill to return to his roots. “It’s exciting to be coming back home,” Santos says. “Shasta college has always been such a nurturing environment for theater people in Redding.” •

July is National Ultraviolet (UV) MonthThe skin is the body’s largest organ. It protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection. Yet, some of us don’t consider it necessary to protect our skin.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, most often caused by harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and tanning beds. UV rays from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer and also causes wrinkles and blotchy skin. Melanoma is a malignant tumor. Melanocytes are the cells that form the tumor. They produce Melanin that is a dark pigment which is responsible for the color of the tumor in the skin.

More than 2 million people in the United States are diagnosed with non-melanoma BCC or SCC skin cancer each year. The numbers increase each year. In 2014, it is estimated that there will almost 140,000 new cases of melanoma. About 1 in 5 will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

If melanoma is detected early, it can most likely be cured. To spot early warning signs, dermatologists have developed the ABCDE method: • Asymmetry(asymmetrical) • Borders(irregular&jagged) • Color(lighttodark) • Diameter(greaterthan6mm) • Evolution(size,colororthickness)

Caucasians are the primary victims of skin cancer. In Native Americans skin cancer is relatively rare but Native Americans have the highest deaths from skin cancer. This is due to atypical presentations leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Regardless of skin color, everyone can fall prey to skin cancer and sunburns.

The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB).Be sure to choose a sunscreen that has a Sun Protective Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, is water resistant, and provides a broad-spectrum coveragewithoneofthefollowing:avobenzone,zinc,titaniumdioxideoroxybenzone.Whichmeans, it protects you from UVA and UVB rays. Basically, UVA rays can age us and UVB rays canburnus.Applysunscreengenerously,ittakesapproximately15minutesforyourskintoabsorb the sunscreen and protect you. Remember to apply sunscreen also to your neck, face, ears, and the tops of your feet.

UV rays can also penetrate the structures of your eyes and cause cell damage according to the center for disease control. Some of the more common sun-related vision problems include cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium (non-cancerous growth of the conjunctiva that can obstruct vision).

The good news is that skin cancer can be prevented and you can avoid becoming a statistic byusingsunscreen,coverup,wearahat,wearUVabsorbentsunglassesandlimitexposure!Remember slip, slop, slap and wrap. Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and wrap on sunglasses.

bRaNDoN baCk, 30, aND 76-yeaR-olD JiM walteRS built a car together, and in the process they put the finishing touches on a relationship that’s as strong as any father-son bond. Their unlikely friendship began in 1999 through the Plus One Mentors program, which was offered at the Shasta Family YMcA. Back was a high school freshman with a troubled home life; Walters was a retired race car driver and used car salesman who had recently relocated to Lakehead from Los Angeles, where he used to sponsor a boys club and mentor kids from time to time. Back was looking for some stability and guidance; Walters wanted to continue helping others. A mutual love of cars proved to be the key to the partnership. “The first time I met Brandon, we talked for two hours. We hit it off right off the bat,” Walters says. “He’d come up and we’d work on cars.” “I’ve got to commend Jim for taking in a teenager and bringing him up,” Back says. “I couldn’t imagine where I could be now if I hadn’t met him. I wasn’t in trouble, and I wasn’t into drugs or drinking, but I had a lack of education and no real male role model in my life. He really pushed me to get out and work and do the home schooling.” With access to Walters’ shop as well as the mentor’s knowledge gathered from years of working on cars, Back soon hatched a plan

involving his neighbor’s ’67 Pontiac GTO. Back saw a muscle car in the making; Walters saw a headache on four wheels. “I remember him saying, ‘Please don’t get this car, it’s such a basket case,’” Back recalls. The youngster was undeterred. “That thing was so bad, the guy gave it to him,” Walters says. “He worked on it and worked on it, fixed it up, and drives it to this day.” The two continued to work together over the years as their friendship continued to grow. About three years ago, Walters got the inspiration to build another twin-engine car. (Back in the 1960s, he had built one with his brother-in-law.) Walters had some cash on hand after selling his dragster, and the two began rummaging through the shop to see what they had to work with. There were two nearly intact engines, part of an engine coupler and some vintage wheels Walters had found at an estate sale. It was determined that a car styled after a vintage 1937 Indy 500 racer would best accommodate two engines, and the two got to work, starting with some channel iron from Gerlinger Steel in redding that became the chassis. A body and paint man by trade, Back is always on the lookout for cars to buy and sell. He came across a woman who was offering five older Oldsmobiles and the two men went to investigate.

That grill set the tone for the whole build,” Back says. Back spent every available minute of free time on the Indy car project, even though time was a precious commodity with his job taking up to 60 hours a week and helping his wife, Mandy, with the couple’s two children. The Indy car was a collaboration from start to finish, Back says. “I was really honored on how much he asks for my advice, even down to color of car. I pushed for black, he wanted cream. For a year, we went back and

forth before we settled on gold and burgundy.” After a flurry of activity earlier this year, the finishing touches were applied and the car was proudly displayed in the prestigious Dreamworks display at Kool April Nites. The two men are already planning their next project. •

theRe’S a key iNgReDieNt that has kept the Klassique Kafe humming along for 30 years and it’s

hardly a proprietary secret. It’s such a compelling part of the restaurant that its regular customers will think nothing

of putting napkins aside, clearing tables and diving into a sink full of dirty dishes.

It seasons every plate of eggs, every sandwich and every bowl of soup. It’s the spice that brings alive every steak and stuffed potato; the little extra something that adds a smile to every stack of pancakes. It’s unadulterated love, and the sisters who own the Athens Avenue restaurant, Kathie Steers and Millie Ellis, have been

cooking with it since they were 3-year-olds. A profound appreciation of cooking is in their DNA,

passed along by their great-grandmother, grandmother and mother, and it was nurtured by their late

husbands. “We’ve always loved to cook and our husbands always wanted to see us in a restaurant,”

says Ellis, 74. Their first restaurant venture lasted a

year and their second restaurant, The Dinner Pail on Twin view

Boulevard, lasted two years. They opened the

K la ss i qu e

Kafe on Oct. 1, 1986—taking over a space that had housed eight other restaurants—and now chuckle while recalling the naysayers who told them it would never work out. As anybody who’s watched the sometimes frantic pace of restaurant turnover in redding can imagine, Klassique Kafe’s long run has not always been easy, but the sisters have been able to benefit from their experience and smooth out the occasional bump. “We learned the ropes,” Ellis says of their earlier ventures. “We had on-the-job training with no trainer.” It’s not like they had a lot of choice, her sister adds. The restaurant life “gets in your bones; there’s just something about it,” says Steers, 72. Good intentions are one thing, but it’s good food that generally keeps restaurants open, and that’s 4

certainly the case at the Klassique. The sisters swear by a “buy local” business model and abhor the idea of loading up on the precooked, frozen meals featured at some national chain restaurants. “We would rather put out a meal that costs us money than to have someone not be satisfied,” Steers says. And fresh food, prepared to order, takes a little time. “If you eat here, you’re going to wait. We’re not heating up leftovers,” she adds. Plenty of folks don’t mind the wait. The sisters say that veteran outdoor writer John Higley is usually the first one through the door each morning and North State restaurateur Joe Wong makes a regular habit of stopping by on Wednesdays for the pork roast stuffed potato special. A lot of others come in for breakfast and lunch because the café has such a welcome feel to it that it’s become a second home, and they often act accordingly. “If we get backed up, our customers are not above bussing tables and washing dishes,” Ellis says. “After you’ve been here three times, you’re family,” Steers adds. It’s not just locals who sing the restaurant’s praises. Out-of-town customers are routinely struck by the comfortable, welcome vibe and home-cooked meals. This online Yelp review is typical: “The food was awesome & tasted so home cooked with love. The French toast was the best! They are also very involved with the vets in the community and volunteer to cook for them. I wish there were more people like Millie and her sister in this world; it would be such a better place.” veterans, active members of the armed services and law enforcement officers are especially welcome at the Klassique Kafe, where the walls are covered with photographs, tributes and memorabilia from World War II clear up to Afghanistan. “We wanted to say to these guys and gals that somebody cares for you; this is a home for you,” Ellis says. Her sister says the décor and tributes are a way of saying thanks for those who don a uniform “and put their lives on the line so I can open my big mouth. We like to treat our veterans with the high esteem and respect they deserve.” The sisters put plenty of walk behind their talk; they are both veritable bulldogs when it comes to fundraisers for veterans’ causes, including the Northern california veterans Museum and Heritage center and the Northern california veterans

cemetery in Igo.To date, they estimate they have raised more than $65,000 for military-related causes. •

Fly By Day

loCAlS | By MEliSSA MEnDonCA | PHoToS: MiCHEllE HiCKoK



“I like to tie flies whenever I can,” says the 15-year-old sophomore from red Bluff. “It’s one of my best skills: fly fishing, fly tying.” “catching a fish with a fly rod is a lot more exciting than a regular rod,” says the relatively new enthusiast. Kaden has only been fishing for a few years, but the enthusiasm, deep research and encyclopedic knowledge he brings to his sport has gained him recognition and opportunity. In his early years, he planned to become a vulcanologist or geologist. Eventually, however, his interests turned to the streams that surrounded his former home in Susanville. “I was intrigued about the trout and where they live,” he says. That interest started him fishing and studying up on the species. “I got an obsession about stocking up on lures,” he says. He asked for a fly rod for christmas but took about a year to actually start working with it. A sponsorship to attend fish camp through The Fly Shop in redding a year ago gave him the confidence to work his fly rod and also spurred his interest in tying flies. “We had great counselors,” he says, adding that he is attending advanced fish camp this year and hopes to one day become a counselor himself.

With a bundle of supplies as his prize from a camp fly tying contest, as well as his mind for details, he was set up to begin developing his own patterns. “I kept tying and got better and better and better,” he says, noting that he will be teaching classes at the Green room Studio in red Bluff this month.

The key to successful fly tying is a deep understanding of the insects one is replicating and how they behave on the water. As Kaden started delving into this aspect, he discovered an interest that has set his course for college. “I started getting into insects because they’re a major part of fishing,” he says. “They’re what the fish eat.” Now he is researching college programs where he will study aquatic entomology. “I’ve spent hours researching this stuff because it interests me,” he adds. He even turned his interest into a winning science fair entry by studying the effects of water temperature

on a stone fly’s size and movement. By understanding the life cycle of aquatic insects and their vulnerability to fish at various stages, Kaden is able to develop effective flies. He pays close attention to “how fish react to different colors,” and4

he likes to mimic insects in between stages of metamorphosis because “they hit those insects because they're vulnerable.” “What people don’t know is how hard it is to come up with your own patterns that don’t look like anyone else's,” he says. He now has about 10 unique patterns of his own making and a repertoire of patterns by others that he likes to make. One of his own, “El roedor,” replicates a baby mouse that would be tasty prey for salmon. “Kaden is my fly fishing secret weapon,” says Tony carbonell, a red Bluff chiropractor and avid fly fisherman. “Good kid, good family. I use his flies all the time.” “We’re doing our best to give him everything he needs to get him where he needs to be,” says Kaden's mom, Hollie. She laughs at the memory of the day “we were in the kitchen hatching salmon flies.” Kaden recalls evenly the day he caught some nymphs and “I put them in the aquarium and they hatched overnight.” With a pause, he adds: “I didn’t have a lid at the time.” Of course, they also have the more traditional parent-child fishing interactions, only in the Swart family, Kaden is teaching his dad, Kurtis. “He’s gotten pretty good,” Kaden says. “Once he caught that steelhead, he was set.” Kaden plans to start a fishing club at red Bluff High this year and will continue to study waterways of the world. He’ll keep up his bucket list of areas to fish and says that his Spanish classes take on more relevance because he dreams of fishing in Spain. Of course, he’ll continue to hone his skills tying flies. “I look forward to people catching fish on my ties,” he says with a smile. Kaden’s flies are available at Enjoy the Store red Bluff. For a list of his classes at the Green Room Studio, visit www.greenroomredbluff.org. •

loCAlS | By KiMBErly Bonéy | PHoToS: JAMES MAzzoTTA

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUrSELF: I was born in Pittsburgh, Penn., on November 10, 1932. I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan… I’m one year older than the franchise itself.

HOW DID YOU cOME TO LIvE IN THE NOrTH STATE? I moved to Oak Run around the time when the Fountain Fire happened, around 1990 or so. I became involved with the Oak Run Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary. I was president for eight or 10 years. I did some fundraising. While I was there, a gentleman donated his mobile home and we converted it into a community library for Oak Run. Books and shelving were also donated. I was there when the first flagpole next to the firehouse in Oak Run was donated in honor of a mechanic/fireman/World War II Marine vet. In 2001, I began to do some volunteer work with KIXE. I picked up donations for their fundraisers and auctions. In 2001, I also became employed with Old Navy, doing maintenance and janitorial work. Facilities, they call it. I still work there six days a week.

WHErE DO YOU FIND YOUr ENErGY? Italian genes! OK?!

YOUr FAcE MAY BE A FAMILIAr ONE TO SOME NOrTH STATE rESIDENTS. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOU ArE MOST FAMOUS FOr IN OUr cOMMUNITY? I would say it’s for my association with the veterans organizations. I am a Korean War Army Veteran. I served from 1953 to 1955 in the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment Recon. I am connected with Amvets and American Legion. I work in public relations for Stand Down, for homeless vets, their families and their pets. I am on the support group for the Igo Cemetery and the Veterans Home on Knighton Road.I am a member of the Sons of Italy Shasta Lodge. We support the Redding Grange. I am on the council and serve as the historian, membership chairman and as part of the heritage team. Every year at the Sheriff ’s Department’s multicultural celebration at the mall, I dress up as Christopher Columbus. We also have Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

OK. WHAT’S YOUr FAvOrITE FOOD? ITALIAN, rIGHT? You know it! Lasagna is my favorite.

WHAT AccOMPLISHMENTS ArE YOU MOST PrOUD OF? In 2012, I was nominated for the Veteran Advocate of the Year. That nomination meant that I worked with the veterans’ organizations and the community to bring them together. That was a proud moment. In 2013, at the Festival Italiano, I was recognized as the Italian of the Year.

YOU ArE ALMOST ALWAYS SEEN WITH A cAMErA IN YOUr HAND. WHAT DO YOU LOvE MOST ABOUT PHOTOGrAPHY? I do a lot of work with military groups. It’s rewarding to capture candid moments with all of the great veterans we have here.

SO, WHEN YOU ArE NOT OUT MAKING A DIFFErENcE IN OUr cOMMUNITY Or TAKING PIcTUrES WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOr FUN? Music is one of my hobbies. I play upright and electric bass. I used to play on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand. I played in uniform, too. If you played in your uniform, you appeared in both halves of the show.

YOU ArE A UNITED STATES vETErAN, AND THAT MAKES YOU A HErO IN OUr BOOK. WHAT qUALITIES DEFINE A HErO FOr YOU? Somebody who is willing to go and help others – veterans, the homeless - and isn’t looking to get any kind of reward for it, whether it’s holding their hand or bringing them dinner. That would be a hero to me.

WHO WAS YOUr HErO GrOWING UP? My father was my hero. One time I heard him talking in the early hours of the morning. It had to have been 3 or 4 am. I got up to see who he was talking to at such a strange hour. My dad was there praying. When I asked him who he was praying for, he said, “For the leaders of all the countries of the world, that they will be kind, gentle and helpful to the people who live in the countries they lead.” And then he said, “Now, who are you praying for?”

WHO IS YOUr HErO TODAY? My wife, Diane, to put up with me the way she does, to have her stand behind me 110 percent. She’s my rock. She’s not quite a senior. She’s 20 years younger than me. I’m not sure if you want to include that or not. She always says, “Frank, just be careful.” I have a Hawaii 5-0 ringtone on my Tracfone. Whenever I answer, she says “Book ‘em, Danno!” •

THE LUMINEScENT TEA LIGHT JAr You know those beautiful colored jars that are all the rage? You don’t have to spend a fortune to own some. For this craft you will need Mod Podge, food coloring, a glass jar and tea lights. You can also use solar candles or LED candles, but I am sucker for seeing the flame flicker and sparkle inside the glass:

1. Mix a tablespoon of Mod Podge with a dollop of food coloring. 2. quickly and smoothly coat the outside of your

jar. carefully overlap your brush strokes. 3. Once dry, place your candle inside and enjoy.

One of the things I love most about summer in Northern california is entertaining outdoors. The heat of the day can be stifling, but when the cool evening approaches, it brings with it the desire to sit outside reading, visiting with friends or working on projects. Whichever of these activities suits you, they all have one requirement: Lighting! Outdoor illumination can be costly, so read on and see how to brighten your nights for a fraction of the cost by repurposing.

The Multi-tasking Mason Jar These can easily be found at a thrift shop, a garage sale or around your own home.

THE MASON JAr HANGING LANTErN For this project you will need a Mason jar, a candle of your choice, twine and either fishing line or wire:

1. cut a piece of twine a little larger than the neck of your jar.

2. Determine how low you would like your lantern to hang and cut a length of fishing line accordingly.

3. Tie each end of the line onto your twine.4. Wrap the twine below the lip of the jar and knot.5. If you would like to hide the knots, wrap a cute

ribbon around the neck of your jar. If you use fishing line, the knots are non-existent in the twilight and make it look as if your lantern is floating.

6. Place your candle inside and enjoy the beauty this sparkling lantern will bring.

If you happen to have a wire ring Mason jar, simply add twine and hang.4

noTE:

This is not waterproof, so you will either need to spray on a sealer, or be careful to keep it dry. The nice thing about this is if you mess up, you can wash it off and try again.

If you have some left over spray paint and jars, or even ugly vases, why not paint them and decorate with summer flowers? Want to know a secret? You can make your own brightly colored flowers by placing white mums into water tinted with food coloring. Wait 24 hours, or until you achieve the color you desire. Happy repurposing! •

I have a bench that belonged to my grandfather that must be about 50 years old. It’s seen finer days and being stored on the patio for the last 10 years hasn’t helped the finish. The wood was rough, cracked and the paint in poor shape. However, this piece holds sentimental value and it would make a perfect side table next to a retro metal chair. Obviously, most of us don’t have a shabby bench to fix, but the key to this repurpose is to force you to think outside the box. Keep your eyes peeled for an item that might have a terrible finish, but could look simply gorgeous after some TLc. The steps below can be used to increase the appeal on any wood object.

BEAUTIFUL BENcH You will need a hand sander, 60-100 grit sandpaper, your favorite spray paint and polyurethane to seal the wood.

1. Make sure your piece is stable and tighten any screws or nails that might be loose.

2. Sand the ends and corners until smooth; you don’t want any splinters.

3. continue to sand rough spots. Don’t remove all the imperfections because that takes away the uniqueness of the item.

4. Wipe clean.5. Paint away! One thing I loved about my piece is that

the old paint was cracked so deeply it made for an attractive surface once I applied the new paint.

6. Apply your sealer according to the instructions. Most of them will require you to sand in between coats, which I chose not to do. If you would like to do so, this is a good time to shabby up your edges and have some of the bare wood show.

7. Move your piece to its new home and add some finishing touches with décor: Maybe your Mason jars?

the woRD “theatRe” comes from the Greek word meaning “the seeing place.” For Bennett Gale, it comes from the perspective of playing ringo Starr in Beatlemania on Broadway, both on the professional stage of Los Angeles theatre and now in the vision he presents for the New Frontier Theatre company in Siskiyou county. After years of working in professional theatre and teaching drama in public schools, Gale moved to Northern california and viewed the grandeur and majesty of the surrounding mountains. Seeing within the community the ability to host a world-class theatre company and complex, he began to wonder of the possibilities. “Four million cars pass through this county every year,” Gale says. “This area is a frontier, with theatre promising something new, fresh and special.” Approaching fellow actors Bill counts and Sandra Winslow, the three talents began to weave the dreams into a viable reality. “Theatre has its own magic. Here I can envision a theatre company bringing economic viability, as well as a gateway to drawing the area’s talent into an activity that will change them,” Gale says. Attracting the talent of the small communities in the county, the trio put together a company which at present represents 140 cumulative years of theatre experience. New Frontier is beginning the second year of this journey. Part of the Siskiyou Art council, the troupe produced three shows and one workshop and ended fiscally in the black its first season. The second season has its sights set on four productions. First comes the mid-summer presentation of “Greater Tuna,” a comedy exploring the lives and morals which are found in small towns. The play continues through July, performing in Etna, Yreka, Mount Shasta and Dunsmuir. At the end of August, the company is producing Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” with three weekend performances at college of the Siskiyous. Then fall rehearsals prepare for the holiday season with the a radio Theatre production of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Gale will bring his own unique talents to reprise last year’s one man show, “Scrooge: An Evening with charles Dickens,” based on Dickens’ “A christmas carol.” As schools face dwindling budgets and cuts to their drama programs, New Frontier is bringing life to small schools, developing the Theatrical Arts Schools Initiative. This effort provides supplemental curriculum and new programs, while providing classes, coaches and assemblies to Golden Eagle charter School, Butteville Elementary, Weed High School and Mccloud High School. Gale says, “Our children have an innate set of skills and curiosity that theatre can enhance and help them appreciate.” For now, these are small beginnings, which are creating a “seeing place” for a more expansive future. Everyone in the company wears many hats. From acting to licking envelopes, there is an enthusiasm surrounding the task. “The aim is to be here for the community, to see this as community project, engaging people to see what is possible,” Gale says. “I just think of our organizing principle: ‘Imagination is the bridge to reality.’” •

A splash, a shout, a scream, a laugh,Water tickles my toes,Laughter fills my heart.A grunt and a tug on my arm,A big smile greets me.The little boy points to the deep end of the pool,And I know what he says even though he can’t speak.Autism has taken his voice away,But I can hear it.It’s beautiful.Teacher come play says the child with no voice,So I jump inAnd laugh at the water that dances around me.The child jumps in too,But too fast--he’s scared.His fists grab my hair,And though it hurts I smile and laugh,And he knows it’s all right.His hands release my hair and wrap me in a hug,And the sweetest smile appears on his face.Although no words have been said,We both smile, At the sweetest of summer memories. •

AUTHOR: Micayla Whitmer is freshman at foothill high School in Palo Cedro. about her submission, she says, “this is a poem i wrote about a memory from last summer while i was teaching at get Set (Social emotional training). get Set is a camp for children on the autism Spectrum, and i volunteer during the summers working with the preschoolers. this particular moment was at a field trip to the Redding aquatic Center. i remember this special moment clearly as the child truly connected with me, a task that is difficult for children with autism.”

Summer is finally upon us and my very favorite part of the warmer weather is that it means that my birthday is just around the corner! Not really: It is that our garden is bursting with an ever-increasing assortment of home-grown goodies. Well, since I mentioned my birthday, let’s talk about celebration dinners. When I think of celebration menus, I want fresh and delicious. This year, it is seafood, fresh garden vegetables, and either pasta, quinoa or couscous as the side staple. There are many smart choices in seafood, including one of my own favorites: scallops. When it comes to seafood, sustainability is a huge issue and scallops are almost always a safe buy. Scallops are incredibly convenient as they cook in less than 5 minutes. Yes, they are a little pricey, but this is a celebration menu, after all! Lastly, a note when purchasing scallops. Fresh scallops should be “dry,” which means they are shucked and frozen on the boat. Wet “preserved” means they are placed in water and preservatives and then frozen. With this process, wet ones will weigh more, costing you more money.

PREPARATiOn1 | Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2 | Combine wine and shallots in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 6-10 minutes or until mixture is reduced by about half. gradually add butter, stirring with a whisk until smooth and blended. Stir in zest and 1/8 teaspoon salt; keep warm on very low burner.

3 | cut zucchini and yellow squash in half lengthwise, and then cut into strips. Combine zucchini, squash, bell pepper, onion, and 1 tablespoon oil in the large bowl and toss to coat.

4 | arrange vegetable mixture onto baking pan. bake at 400 degrees for 10 – 15 minutes. Carefully remove pan and add tomatoes and garlic and toss gently. bake for about 10 – 15 more minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned and tomatoes are collapsing. Remove from oven; sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

5 | while vegetables cook, heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Pat scallops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper. add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil tablespoon of butter to pan; swirl to coat and heat over high heat until foamy. Make sure the pan is hot as you want the scallops to sizzle right away. add scallops to pan about 2 inches apart. it is important to cook apart as you do not want them to steam. Cook 1 ½-2 minutes on each side or until scallops have a nice seared crust on one side, then flip them over and sear the other side. they should be opaque in the center. Serve scallops with vegetable mixture, tossed with the sauce and garnished with basil leaves and chives, with your favorite side, a crisp green salad and a chilled glass of your favorite white wine.

SNAPSHOT

i do it every day — i plopped down at work last week to check my email and something caught my eye. i had seen it hundreds of times, but this particular morning, curiosity got the best of me. i peered at the monitor in front of me. in parentheses next to the word “inbox” was (9999+). Truth be told, it’s been that way for awhile, but i finally decided to investigate what the “+” really meant. i slowly guided the mouse upward and hovered over the “+”. in tiny letters, i was told i had 69,262 unread emails. What? That can’t be. it’s impossible. That’s crazy. no way. Well, maybe. i guess it could be right. OK, i admit, i’m an email hoarder! i know what you’re thinking: does this guy eveR delete any emails? i do, i swear, but i just can’t keep up. i figured i couldn’t be stranded alone on this island of inbox overload, so i started asking people around the office how many emails their inboxes were holding. Misery loves company, right? in our front office, Jennifer had a paltry four messages, and liz clocked in at 2,773. in the programming wing, Ryan had 15 and Robert reported 371. i asked my wife, Jane, to check, and she had only 42. ha…lightweights, all of them. i contacted Yahoo to get some stats on email usage, and i wasn’t quite mentally prepared for what they reported. Remember, this is just One email provider. check it out: - More than 110 million distinct users use Yahoo Mail every day -global users engage with Yahoo Mail 190+ million times

every day and cumulatively, spend 35 million hours each day on Yahoo Mail

-Mobile Mail continues to grow rapidly, with a 15% quarter- over-quarter growth rate for daily active users

-Yahoo Mail blocks 600 BilliOn spam messages a month -Pando.com gathered data across 38,000 inboxes and dozens

of mail providers and determined 20% of users had more than 10,000 emails in their inbox and that 10% had more than 20,000. They actually had one account with more than 700,000 emails!

Yay, i’m not alone. After all that, it’s no wonder everybody is glued to their computers and phones. gotta keep up with that email… i’ve decided to get back into the “Under 9999+ club” and i’ve started deleting emails. A little slow at first, but then i figured out you can sort emails by date and get rid of old ones first, or sort by sender, and dump huge blocks at a time. now i’m a deleting fool. if you’re in the same boat, experts say the best thing to do (once the inbox is under control, or to keep it that way) is to delete unwanted emails and mark spam every time you check your email. You can also hit “unsubscribe” on the bottom of most legitimate emails. They also recommend keeping your work and personal emails separate, specifically so you don’t miss an important work item that gets stuck between your Macy’s newsletter and a big sale at skyMall. That’s gonna take a little discipline. i did find others in the building and a few friends with thousands of emails, so now i know i’m not alone. By the way, 20,000 emails deleted, only about 50,000 to go!

EnJoy: How did Biondi Upcycle Brand start? JEnniFEr: Biondi Upcycle Brand started in my garage. While clearing the clutter, I came across a box of my grandfather's leather making tools. That box was filled with memories. As my cleaning continued, I came across some of my old bike parts. I kept the old chain from my first bike because it was a reminder of the freedom I felt when my dad let go of my bike and told me to keep pedaling. Biking was my first form of freedom, and from it I learned what was important to me: pain, effort, the time it takes to learn to do something well and keep doing it simply because you can. I’d put time and miles on that chain, wear and tear, and I knew someday I would use it to create a keepsake. The wheels turned in my head and I pulled out my grandfather’s tools and started making a belt and buckle. What emerged was Lucky Buddha. After a good year and a half of people asking where I bought them, I set out to rescue old parts from local bike shops. Within three months of collecting, I had a new type of clutter in my garage, which I don't seem to mind.

EnJoy: Tell us a little about your products.JEnniFEr: Our motto is simple: collect. clean. create. I started with belts and buckles, but after working with the old parts I realized there is truly an endless number of products I could make. I wrote a business plan and I asked my two best friends, my brother and mom, if they wanted to help me peddle innovation. Now we make jewelry, key chains, bottle openers, wallets, dopp kits, dog leashes and collars, pet toys and now we are rolling out home decor items. The second meaning of “upcycle” for me is giving people a second chance. My brother struggles with medical issues as a result of an infection from a knee surgery. It takes a toll on the human spirit when you want to work, but your limitations are compromised. I gave my brother, Jeff, the title of Master collector as a bit of joke, but he turned it into a prideful position and it put a spark back in his life. My mom’s title is “queen B.” She doesn’t know it, but the B is actually for “beautiful.” At this point in her life, she should be able to retire, but that’s

not the case. Now, my mom gets to utilize all of her creative talents and she can do it right out of her own home. All three of us collaborate and have fun working together. It makes my heart smile when someone picks up something my brother collected and cleaned and my mom created. That’s upcycling!

EnJoy: Why is it important to you to upcycle bicycle parts?JEnniFEr: There is an overly abundant amount that goes to landfills. People no longer take the time to patch an inner tube. They just buy another one. I think all the parts are memories that need to live on. We do a lot of custom work in which people send in their tube or tire so that their belt is made from their parts. If I did a bike tour in Europe, you can bet I would want to have those memories wrapped around me in the form of a belt. Upcycling takes the footprint we’ve left on the earth and creates something beautiful, something better. Upcycling is productive motion in the right direction.

EnJoy: What do you enjoy about doing this work?JEnniFEr: For the first time in my life, I don’t feel like what I’m doing is work. I get to spend time with my family and meet amazing people willing to share their cycling memories with me. Knowing that as Biondi Upcycle Brand builds momentum, we will be able to bring back manufacturing to the United States and create job opportunities for people — well, that’s something to smile about.

EnJoy: What is next for you?JEnniFEr: We will be rolling out our home decor line this summer and I hope to raise money through a Kickstarter campaign to purchase some much-needed equipment and proceed with the next phase of our business plan and bring back manufacturing to the United States.
