Those May flowers are finally in bloom, and they couldn’t set a more magnificent scene for a month in which we celebrate mothers, honor veterans, saddle up for the rodeo and much more.

“In Shasta County, we honor our veterans, and that’s one of the really nice things about this area,” says local radio host and veteran Carl Bott. True to form, North State veterans’ advocates are bringing three beautiful art pieces to the entrance of the Shasta County Veterans Service Center in Redding.

Rodeo Week is anticipated by cowboys and cowgirls all year long, and it’s always worth the wait. A pancake breakfast, mock bank hold-up, street dance and parade are among the many activities that lead up to this month’s main event – the Redding Rodeo, which runs from May 19-21. We’ll give you a glimpse into the life of Cottonwood’s Nellie Williams, who’s in the midst of a quest to compete in the National Finals Rodeo in December.

Once your pancakes have had a chance to digest, it will be time to hit the annual Happy Valley Strawberry Festival over Memorial Day weekend. Some 5,000 people typically attend this down-home celebration, and organizers will have about 3,000 pounds of strawberries, 8,500 shortcake cups and 300 gallons of ice cream to ensure that nobody goes home hungry.

If you’re looking for a way to burn off some of those calories, have we got an opportunity for you. The Active 20-30 Club is spearheading the construction of a brand new playground in West Redding, and there will be jobs for about 200 volunteers during the May 21 “build day.” The best part? This playground was designed by some of the kids who will be playing on it for years to come. “There will be nothing there in the morning, and in the evening there’s going to be a great big playground,” says project chairman Cameron Middleton.

Another North State man has his mind on fanciful fun. Meet John Panozza, who carves carousel horses that look so real that you expect them to blink. Viewing them is like going back in time, where you can feel the raw excitement of getting to ride the carousel. We’ll tell you more about his majestic carved creatures.

Back in February, we gave you some hints for enjoying a romantic weekend in San Francisco. In the second installment of “Weekend Getaways,” we share some ideas for a girlfriends’ getaway in Rogue Valley, just in time for Mother’s Day. Wine, Shakespeare, art, tax-free shopping, delightful boutiques, used bookstores, outdoor wonders – what’s not to love? Treat yourself and your mother, your daughter or some of your favorite fellow moms to a refreshing respite from real life. Enjoy!

arthonorIt’s been said that a first impression is a lasting impression. When it comes to the new Shasta County Veterans Service Center, a group of North State veterans advocates wants to make sure that first impression is a beautiful and honorable one. The group has partnered with the Shasta County Arts Council in a project that aims to bring three distinct art pieces to the outside entrance of the center at 1855 Shasta St. in Redding. The Veterans Service Center shares the same freshly remodeled building as the Shasta County District Attorney’s office in the former Shasta County Library. The service center entrance is on the north side of the building. “It’s designed to create a welcoming atmosphere for veterans who go there in need of services,” says Pat Karch, steering committee coordinator for the project. “The idea is to make it more welcoming for them.”

The office coordinates and provides information about veterans’ services, including medical and financial benefits, educational opportunities and other programs. In 2010, the office had more than 7,300 visits from veterans and coordinated some $4.2 million worth of benefits. The three pieces selected from a group of submissions include a large mosaic wall depicting scenes and military emblems, a polished concrete sculpture entitled “Absence,” and an artistic-yet-functional metal bicycle rack. The mosaic wall artist is Redding’s Colleen Barry, whose work includes the Mosaic Art Garden at the McConnell Arboretum and Botanical Gardens at Turtle Bay. Redding veteran Dan Christensen will craft the concrete sculpture. The selected pieces should set a good tone for visiting veterans, says Veterans Service Officer Bob Dunlap. “I think the important idea is that veterans feel they’re in a friendly place here,” says Dunlap. “We want it to be a warm and inviting place and perhaps depict some symbols of what they went through. It was important from my perspective to not just be patriotic, but to be specific to veterans.” In addition to grants and donations that are being sought to fund the project’s goal of $26,000, a fundraising event will take place at 5:30 p.m. May 14 at the Anderson Veterans Hall (3210 West Center

St.). The event will feature dancing to live swing music, including performances by noted jazz singers Linda Bott and Joe Catanio. Tickets are $10 at the door. Linda and Carl Bott, owners of KCNR Radio in Redding, are steering committee members and advocates for veterans programs in the area. “It’s really great to think about the art world coming forth to honor veterans,” says Linda Bott. “The arts can be very healing, the colors, the textures. I’m excited about how profound this project really is.” The project is also accepting individual donations from the community. To donate, call the Veterans Service Office at (530) 225-5616. The group’s goal is to complete the project by early November. “In Shasta County, we honor our veterans, and that’s one of the really nice things about this area,” says Carl Bott. “When veterans go there and see these pieces in their finality, I hope what goes through their mind is that people care. People care about us. That’s the bottom line for veterans.” •

ARE PERFECT FOR MOTHER’S DAY!

Parents of young children are setting new trends, or better stated, adopting new twists on old trends. Lorene Foster wears her babies. She keeps them warm and cuddled close to her body, leaving her hands free for other important tasks. Foster so believes in the concept of baby wearing that she has been selling baby-wearing wraps and carriers since her second child arrived, and now helps inform parents on her website and Facebook about the benefits of keeping baby up close. Parents look for affordability and durability, but above all, safety. Since the scare about lead in foreign manufactured toys in recent years, consumers are looking for better product safety controls. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 initiated new and clarified standards for children’s products sold in the United States in response to these concerns. Foster writes about current safety measures including alerts and recalls of products related to her business, Frogmama.com. She also blogs with a large network of other parents discussing new products, parenting practices and safety concerns. Disposable diapers still fly off the shelves at markets and department stores, but many parents have chosen to return to “old-fashioned” cloth diapers with decidedly new options and brand names like OsoCozy and Fuzzibunz. Choosing resourcefulness rather than expedience, a growing number of parents make the investment with their first child and plan to use the cloth diapers for any brothers and sisters who come along. Diaper exchanges have sprung up around the country and online expressly to offer gently used cloth diapers to families whose budgets can’t stretch to purchase new. Miss Bella’s Baby Boutique in Redding carries a variety of popular brands. Owner Kori Isabella has blended second-hand inventory with new and handcrafted items. Handmade goods represent around 50 percent of sales, says Isabella. While looking for good deals on used clothing and baby accessories, shoppers also look for cute, creative and one-of-a-kind handmade items. At Miss Bella’s, the list of most sought after items include custom-made crib bedding, blankets, nursing covers, bibs, burp cloths and clothing. Renee Noel, owner of Fabulous Fabrics in Redding, has tapped

Sandie Tillery writes about the North State from 35 years of personal experience exploring it from corner to corner with husband John, their three grown children and four grandsons. She loves interviewing the amazing people who live here and telling their stories.

into a growing interest by moms to learn to sew for their families. She says, “There is an overall huge handmade movement, possibly spurred by the economy and people’s desire to find cheaper and greener hobbies to do at home and also to supplement their income.” Noel’s classes make up about 60 percent of her sales. Her students include young mothers wanting to sew unique and fashionable clothes for their little ones. Jocelyn Ascherman of Orland learned to love fabric design and texture while working for a large fabric store. Ascherman launched Baby’s Indulgence three years ago, finding a growing market in shops in Chico and Red Bluff as well as babysindulgence.etsy.com, where shoppers can order Ascherman’s in-stock and custom bibs, “splat mats” for under high chairs, tablecloths, pet mats and more. Ascherman continues to look for crafty ideas that allow her to stay home with her little one while providing a creative outlet that adds to the family income. A trendy shopping stop in Redding, Sugarplum Cottage stocks toys and candy along with high-end baby items. Owner Kathleen Norman leans toward classic toys with recognizable labels such as Thomas the Train and Radio Flyer. Parents, grandparents and others who look for quality and durability find Norman’s shop “captures the magic of childhood.” She also enjoys supporting local handcrafters, stocking fairy princess dresses and other children’s items crafted in the North State. A new product that boasts “Made in America,” Munchie Mugs are spillproof snack cups designed and engineered by a grandfather, Phil Amormino of Sonoma. Amormino’s daughter, Kelly Pucci of Redding, is vice president of the young company whose single product is getting good reviews on amazon.com and from local merchants like Norman at Sugarplum Cottage and Isabella at Miss Bella’s Baby Boutique. Designed with a soft fabric closure “for sensitive little hands,” Munchie Mugs are made of safe, food-grade materials. Many families are trying to get “back to basics” using words like durability, affordability, sustainability. Many want to teach their children responsibility in caring for the earth as well as their bodies by eating organic foods, growing their own produce, making their own baby food and simplifying their lifestyles. Neely Farrell of Happy Valley teaches her children to “reduce, reuse, recycle.” Farrell sells her fun and funky “Neely Beanies” (crocheted beanies for babies and big people) at Miss Bella’s Baby Boutique and at etsy.com. Her philosophy: “Live the best way you can, pass it on and inspire other people.”•

To say that John Panozza carves carousel horses would be quite the understatement. He is more like a portal into a time long past. When Panozza begins to talk about the heyday of carousels, he partially closes his eyes and, like the very best storytellers, he draws a picture that is so

clear you can hear the music. He describes carousels set up at the end of the trolley lines in the 1880s and long lines of people waiting for a turn to take a nickel ride on a carousel animal. You can see it almost like an old black-and-white movie, kids chattering in anticipation and adults

LOT TO LOOK COOL?

in their Sunday finest. Then an amazing thing happens. When you see the carousel horses that Panozza has carved, it’s no longer a movie. It’s in living color and you are there, as excited as any of the kids in that line. The experience is like a time machine that takes you back to your childhood with the raw excitement of getting to ride the carousel. “I was lucky,” says Panozza, 51, from his small studio in the garage of his home in Weed. “I grew up with lots of freedom as a child, lots of opportunities. I had my own horse - Brandy - for 12 years.” Though Panozza has only been carving carousel horses for a couple of years, his history with his own horse, his ability as an artist, his attention to detail and his passion for his art all come together as he creates carousel horses that look so real that you expect them to blink. “Drawing and design are all from the gut. You can’t be wishy-washy. You don’t ‘sort of ’ carve a carousel horse. You’ve got to love the wood; you’ve got to coax it. The drawing doesn’t jump on the wood. Once you

do all the steps, you can see how each step affects the next. You see the whole picture.” Besides carving, Panozza also paints the horses, using oil paints from a tube, always mixing his own colors. He says, “It took me a lot of practice to learn to mix colors so that they were consistent.” Panozza appreciates that he has a coach. His partner, Stefan Baumann, is a world class artist and a seasoned art instructor. When Panozza was first getting started, he told Baumann, “Don’t be nice. I need an outside eye. Be honest.” Panozza has become an expert on carousel history and design. “Carousels became popular in America in the late 1800s, but died off during the Depression,” he says. “The romance side of the animal (the side facing out) is carved with more fanciful detail than the non-romance side – lead animals even more so. The purpose is to entice the rider to choose a specific horse… as the carver, I want riders to pick

my horses. The lead animal is the most highly detailed so the carousel operator can easily see it to count revolutions.” Panozza carves his horses out of basswood, “exactly the way they did it 120 years ago. If this were a 40-hour-a-week job, it would take me about a year to carve a horse.” Thus far, he has not made the horses available for sale. “They are created out of passion for the craft with no agenda for finding them places to live,” he says. “I know something has to happen. I am already out of room. It would be cool if my horses made it onto a carousel.” Panozza named his first horse “Ronnie” after his father, and the horse he’s carving now is named “Johnnie’s Angel” in honor of his mother, Jean. When asked what he wants to do next, Panozza pauses and squints his eyes a bit. “I want to do an entire carousel of wild mustangs. Imagine yourself riding a wild mustang on a carousel and looking back and what you see following you is a herd of wild mustangs.” You can see the daydreamer/storyteller in him working this idea. “I know so much more now. I’m going for movement. I want to elevate the art to more than just a seat on a ride.“ •

Quest on aM O U N T S H A S TA’ S L A N G U A G E Q U E S T

BusinessPhotos: Bret Christensen Story: Gary VanDeWalker

Few people can fit the world in a room, but Jim Havlice accomplishes this and more along the main street of Mount Shasta. His storefront may have an average-sized door, but inside are the tools to see from the perspective of any part of the world. The business, Language Quest, is a unique blend of maps, language tools and telescopes. As it says on the window, “Everything for language and travel.” Havlice, raised in Cleveland, traded in the winter snow of Ohio for the warmer climate of Stanford University, where he pursued a degree in Applied Physics. However, an interest in travel and languages took him on a different turn. “I found the unique combination of putting language and maps together. No one else had done it,” Havlice says. His store in Los Altos flourished. For 10 years he cultivated his retail business while expanding his reach on the Internet. As online sales grew, Havlice realized a need to reduce overhead and warehouse his stock. He traveled to check on his home in Mount Shasta, and he noticed a storefront, recently vacated by a bank in the

May 2011 Enjoy 37

older part of town. “After some inquires, I realized I could maintain both a warehouse and retail store in this community for less than remaining in the Bay Area,” Havlice says. Inside the door, Mitzi, the store dog, runs to greet customers. The sound of a German radio station drifts from the back. Telescopes and books fill the room with an air of knowledge and discovery. Bookcases are marked with invitations to learn: German, French, Spanish. Travel books draw the wisdom from hundreds of travelers to locations from around the world. Binoculars wait to view the wonders of the planet. Books on local flora and fauna and hiking trails take the traveler wherever they want to go. After six years, Language Quest continues to thrive. While map stores are going out of business, Havlice maintains a healthy clientele. Language Quest is the largest map store in Northern California, and perhaps in California as a whole. “Our walk-in traffic is actually better here April through October than in the Bay Area,” Havlice says. “People come to enjoy the beauty of the mountain, eat lunch and stroll in.” Pursuing his love for science, Havlice carries books with an emphasis on astronomy, and the local astronomy club meets there. “We’ve had 80 to 90 people at our monthly star parties, which are held on the Friday closest to a new moon.” The store emphasizes success in travel and in language. “I learned early on that people wanted help not only in travel, but in learning the language of the country they are visiting,” Havlice says. “People need a method of learning a language which appeals to them. For the person who likes rules, we have methods which stress rules. For those who want to learn in the car, we can provide for that, too.” The Map Room is the heart of the store. Within arm’s reach are the countries and regions of the world. From the streets of Paris to the backcountry of Egypt, the folded maps remind one of adventures

awaiting them. “We are here to help, to make every traveler a success.” Language Quest is a journey. From Cleveland to the Bay Area and now Mount Shasta, Havlice has gathered the world around him. With Mitzi in his arms and a smile, he reflects, “It was a very good move.”•

F IFTEEN MINUTES WITH MICHAEL WOODRUM OF JACK’S GRILL

NAME: Michael Woodrum

PERSONAL: Married to Laurie, a registered nurse at Shasta Regional Medical Center, for 15 years. Four step-kids, Mark Harper, Scott Fields, Lindsay Kaiser and Ashley Hafner. 1 grandchild, Thairen Fields.

JOB/TITLE: Bartender, general manager and recently became part owner at Jack’s Grill.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED AT JACK’S? Since November 1979 – 31 years.

WHAT HAS KEPT YOU AT JACK’S FOR SO LONG? Jack’s is a very unique place. It’s a privilege and honor to work there. My family ties to Jack’s go back to the early days. My dad said he was there the second night it was open and took my mom there on their first date. He later proposed to her at Jack’s. I feel like I’m a curator at a historical site. I’ve always felt that I would always be there once I got there.

A WILD GUESS - HOW MANY DRINKS DO YOU THINK YOU’VE MIXED IN YOUR LIFE? For myself, 22,234. For everyone else, oh, about 1½ million and counting.

WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU AT WORK? Early in my time at Jack’s, I confronted a couple who had walked out on their bill. I got to them as they were getting ready to drive off. The driver wouldn’t respond so I jumped on their hood, thinking they wouldn’t drive off with me on their hood. But they did. Halfway through the intersection, I rolled off and got their license plate. With the help of the Redding Police Department, we found them at a motel and got the money for the bill.

WHO’S THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON YOU’VE EVER SERVED? Actor Ned Beatty was going fishing on the Trinity River, and most recently, actor Timothy Dalton (who played James Bond). He was just driving through.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE DRINK TO MAKE? An Old Fashion. It’s an old-school drink that has to be made just right. It’s always been around but is making a comeback.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST POPULAR DRINK? That changes daily. We make a lot of margaritas, Bloody Marys, Lemon Drops and Cosmopolitans. By far, vodka is the most popular booze.

HOW DO YOU REMEMBER EVERYONE’S DRINK ORDER AFTER HEARING IT ONLY ONCE? I have a good memory, generally, but a better one at work. I concentrate and that makes my job easier.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY AT YOUR JOB LOOK LIKE? There is no typical day. It’s not a “locals’ joint,” so we get an entirely different crowd every day – people from all over the world come through the door. On any given night, about half the customers are local; the other half are traveling through.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU COULDN’T DO WHAT YOU DO NOW? Looking ahead, I want to ease off the pedal and travel more. I would love to go to the southwest and just roam around for a while. I would like to find a good balance between work and leisure time. Life goes by so fast.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED? Go with the flow. Don’t worry about what you can’t change and don’t look too far ahead or too far back.

TELL US ABOUT THE BOOK THAT YOU AND YOUR BROTHER RECENTLY PUBLISHED: My dad, Henry C. Woodrum, wrote about his time in World War II in Paris. He was shot down and with the help of the French Underground, he avoided capture. He was there when the allies liberated Paris. He was from Redding and was a B-26 pilot who went from Wheeler Field on December 7 to flying over Europe. He tried to get his book published in the early 1980s, but the publishing world was very different then and the timing wasn’t right. My dad passed in 1990. My brother, Hank Woodrum of Mesa, Ariz., and I wanted to publish his story. We found an online publisher and the book was ready in September. My brother and I, along with our wives, are going to Paris soon to visit with Pierre Berty, whose family hid my dad. Pierre was 7 at the time and still lives in the house where my dad stayed.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? “When Hell Froze Over” by William Shadish. He’s a retired doctor from Redding who wrote of his time in a Korean War prison camp where he was the camp doctor for over three years.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES? I’ll find one, hopefully.

WHO’S YOUR HERO? My folks. They were just great people.

WHAT’S YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT? Getting my dad’s book published. Seeing it at Barnes and Noble was a thrill.

WHAT’S YOUR BEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY? Playing Little League has to be right up there.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN REDDING? I have to say that the people in this area are its greatest asset. I have met a great number of people and the majority of the people from this area are great people - lifelong friends that I see when they come to Jack’s. Redding still has a small-town feel to it in all the best ways. You can be out in the country in 20 miles in any direction.

DAY

H A P P Y VA L L E Y S T R A W B E R R Y F E S T I VA L

At times, Happy Valley is as much a state of mind as it is a North State community. That will certainly be the case on the Saturday during Memorial Day weekend if one equates happiness with strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream. Some 5,000 or more people make that berry-happy connection every year at the Happy Valley Strawberry Festival, and organizers expect to satisfy even more sweet tooths this year. The May 28 festival at Happy Valley Elementary School is a big bowl of fun even if one–for whatever implausible reasons–decides to pass on the strawberries. Pony rides, wandering magicians, bluegrass musicians, antique trucks, face painting, the Little Miss Strawberry Pageant and a pancake breakfast are just some of the extracurricular activities lined up. It’s the fun and high spirits that make the day special for John

Pappas, a Happy Valley olive farmer who heads up the group that puts on the festival–the Happy Valley Community Foundation. “Just watching all the people come out and enjoy themselves, that’s the biggest thing. It’s a family event–the kids come out and have a good time. When people are out here and doing that, you don’t hear any bickering. People get along, listen to the music and just enjoy the day,” Pappas says. Of course, it’s not called the strawberry festival for nothing. “There’s so much there you can enjoy without spending any money, but most people buy the strawberries,” says Gary Jackson, another foundation board member. Jackson says festival organizers will load up with at least 100 30-pound tubs of strawberries, some 8,500 shortcake cups and 300 gallons of ice cream. “We may up the berries and ice cream and

probably drop the cakes a little,” Jackson says. Experience has taught them that a fair number of people decline the shortcake cups and go straight for the strawberries and ice cream. No matter how it’s dished up, there will be plenty, and each serving will be more than ample. “We have to give generous servings because that’s what we’re known for,” Jackson says. The price is staying at $6. “Even though we need to raise it, this is not the year to do that. The cakes, ice cream, drinks—it all goes up, but it gets to a point where you can’t overcharge.” The festival runs from 9 am to 5 pm and strawberries will be served from 10 am to 4 pm or until the strawberries run out. Early arrivers can enjoy a pancake breakfast offered by the Happy Valley 4-H Club that starts at 7:30 am. Breakfast includes sausage, a beverage and—not surprisingly—strawberries. Other dining options include a tri-tip sandwich from the nonprofit Citizens Patrol booth. With approximately 100 vendors planning to set up shop at the festival, Jackson says there will be more food offerings as well as art works, crafts and displays. The school setting provides for ample parking and plenty of room for shade structures for comfort and hay bales for seating. “Most

people go for the shade, but you never know what the weather will be like,” Jackson says. “Hopefully the weather will be just like it has been, sunny but not too hot.” If heavy rain postpones the event, it will be held the following Saturday. The strawberry festival began as a way to honor World War I veterans. It was suspended during World War II. Following that war, Jackson says a Shasta County supervisor renewed the Memorial Day tradition. Hoping to return to the theme of honoring veterans, Pappas says he is working with the Nor-Cal Veterans Historical Association, whose members will have a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter on display. Additionally, the Northern California Veterans Museum and Heritage Center will be exhibiting historic uniforms and some elaborate eagle sculptures. Originally held at the Happy Valley Community Center, the festival had another hiccup in the 1980s when organizers decided that serving alcohol was turning the event into more of a street party than a festival. After a hiatus of a couple years, the Anderson Lions Club took over and festival was moved to the school—where alcohol is prohibited—and has continued to grow ever since, Jackson says. The Happy Valley Community Foundation took over in the early 1990s. Proceeds from the festival are used to fund grants for school groups and community events like the farmers’ market, Jackson says. •

When you’re building a playground, you need to start with the basics – swings, slides, teeter-totters, monkey bars, a climbing web. Then, you need a few elements to make it unique. A rock-climbing wall, a whitewater rafting slide, a haunted house – perhaps a unicorn. No idea is too fanciful for a youngster envisioning the perfect playground, and local philanthropists are doing their best to make sure that a new West Redding playground features ideas that came straight from kids’ imaginations. As rain fell outside on a recent school night, toddlers through teens dreamed of long, sunny days outside as they put crayons to paper to share their vision for the design of Sunset Playground at T.R. Woods Memorial Park on Royal Oak Drive. “Build day” is May 21, and there are jobs for about 200 volunteers. “There will be nothing there in the morning, and in the evening there’s going to be a great big playground for you to play on,” project chairman Cameron Middleton told about 15 children and their families during the design session at Manzanita Elementary School. “There’s a lot of work to do, but it’s all fun.” The project is spearheaded by the Active 20-30 Club, which also built a playground at Alta Mesa Park in 2008. Support is being provided by the City of Redding, Redding West Rotary, the neighborhood and numerous other sponsors. Andrea Gibbens brought her two children, 3-year-old Liam Gibbens-Egolf and 5-year-old Joriana Gibbens-Egolf, to the design day. “We’re new residents, so it was exciting to hear about it,” Gibbens says. “It seems so grassroots. We spend a lot of time in our neighborhood – we ride our bikes almost every day – so this is so neat to see.” Meanwhile, Joriana worked carefully on a sketch of a swing and slide, while her brother focused on drawing some wheels. “It’s a fire engine,” Liam says proudly. “I love the park so much.” At the next table, Jasmine Ellenberger, 9, managed to squeeze plenty of amenities into her depiction. “I made a rock climbing wall, two swings and a ladder that you go up and through the tunnel to the slide,” Jasmine says. “You can play the drums, and

there’s a court to play wall ball, and a really flat basketball court.” Children then presented their ideas to the organizers, who were impressed by the ingenuity. “We’ll go ahead and get some of these ideas designed up, and we’re going to have a really cool playground,” Middleton told them. Though the likelihood of finding a unicorn willing to take up residence at the playground is slim, “the design ideas are fabulous,” says Wade Ellenberger of Redding West Rotary, an architect with Nichols, Melburg and Rossetto. “They fit the kids’ imaginations and our budget. A lot of the ideas are very realistic. The kids truly did show us what they want and we’re going to listen to their ideas.” The park area was donated to the City of Redding in 1966 when T.R. Woods developed the Sunset Terrace subdivision. The playground project was launched by the Active 20-30 Club of Redding, which focuses on improving children’s lives. The club’s members include engineers, grantwriters, lawyers and other young professionals who donated time and talents to work through the details, says incoming president Lucky Jesrani.

Labor is being donated by Active 20-30, Rotary clubs, Catalyst of Redding, neighborhood volunteers and more. Surveying, architectural and engineering services were donated by members of Redding West Rotary, which saved about $50,000. The public is invited to lend a hand during the May 21 building day. Organized activities will keep volunteers’ young children busy while the magic happens. In addition to the playground, the project will include a shade pavilion, video surveillance system, benches and tables. One person who can’t wait to see the final result is volunteer Paula Mellon, who grew up on Sunset Drive and still lives in the neighborhood. Her sons, Sean, 12, and Nick, 10, spend lots of time in the park, and Mellon started some popular soccer camps there a few years ago. “Now this has all come together and its going to happen,” Mellon says. From Middleton’s perspective, it’s an opportunity to make history. “They’ll be able to look back on this for generations and say, ‘I had a part in this,’” he says. •

“I felt at ease because I had faith in my Pediatrician and I knew the Mercy ER and Pediatrics Department had my son’s best interest at heart.” Bradley doesn’t slow down from the time he springs out of bed until his head rests on the pillow. So when Brad and Jamie took their son to see the cars at Redding’s popular Kool April Nights they expected their little boy to be ecstatic.

“I knew something was wrong when he showed no interest in looking at any of the cars. His eyes were watery. He was lethargic and just wanted to sleep. I took him into the Mercy ER where the triage nurse placed him in a bed very quickly. They took X-Rays and completed a blood work up. We found out Bradley had pneumonia and he would need to stay in the Pediatrics Department. Everyone was so nice.

They let me stay in the room with my son. A Respiratory Therapist came to check on him every couple of hours…even in the middle of the night. They had movies for him and asked him if he wanted anything. His answer was always ‘orange juice’,” said Jamie with a smile on her face.

For those who compete on the professional rodeo circuit, there’s no place like home…except for Las Vegas. For Cottonwood’s Nellie Williams, this month’s Redding Rodeo will be a homecoming of sorts, and one she hopes will keep her on the road to another chance to compete in the National Finals Rodeo in December. Williams, 23, made her barrel-racing debut at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in 2010 and is bringing the same determination and training to make 2011 an even more lucrative and successful year. That translates to competition in about 48 professional rodeos this year. While many college juniors plan spring breaks to Cancun or Palm Beach, this Chico State business major and 2006 graduate of West Valley High School hauled her quarterhorse Blue Duck, to Texas for the three-week Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world’s largest livestock and rodeo event. Although contestants are allowed to compete in up to 100 rodeos per year to accumulate enough winnings to qualify for the National Finals, Williams has made the conscious decision to make it in about 48, for both the sake of herself and Blue Duck. “The number I did last year (48) is a good number,” she says. Although it’s a bit of a gamble, the rest afforded between rodeos keeps both horse and rider fresh and better able to compete. Still, it’s no easy feat to make 48 rodeos in a year. During the Redding Rodeo weekend she’ll go back and forth between Redding and Hayward to compete in two rodeos. In the past, she has added Las Vegas to the mix to hit three in the same weekend. Williams will compete in at least one rodeo per weekend until December. Around the 4th of July, “I’ll be somewhere (barrel racing) every day for 10 days,” she says. Thankfully, school ends in May so she’ll be free of her full time, 15-unit academic load.

Although Williams is now on the pro-rodeo circuit, she’s been competing on the Redding Rodeo grounds since her high school rodeo days and has high praise for the people who run the Redding Rodeo. “Their committee would come in and work the chutes for us – and they didn’t have to – and they’d always work the ground well for us.” Well-worked ground is crucial for barrel racers, who invest considerable time and money in the care and training of their horses. She notes with appreciation how the Red Bluff Round Up committee brought in a helicopter to dry the arena grounds after a hard rain in 2010. Although Williams admits she was scared of horses as a young child, she’s been barrel racing since age 12 through junior and high school rodeos and then on the college rodeo circuit with the University of Las Vegas in 2007 and 2008. She transferred to Chico State this year to be closer to home and “because I got sick of the city.” Her family, including parents Sam and Roxy Williams and brothers Clint and Wyatt, have all been influential and supportive of her rodeo career. Blue Duck was born, raised and trained on the Williams ranch and is the progeny of Nellie’s first competition horse, Reba. She credits her dad with her success. “He pretty much taught me everything about riding and barrel racing,” she says. “He’s good at training horses and breaking them.” Once she’s in the rodeo arena though, it’s all about how Nellie and Blue Duck put their training to use. The two have been blazing through California rodeo history since 2007, when Nellie became the first female to win the coveted All-Around Cowboy title in the California Cowboy Professional Rodeo Association for her work in barrel racing and breakaway roping. “When I started out, I had goals for barrel racing and goals for roping,” she says. “I hadn’t really thought about winning All-Around, though, until it happened.” Though modest about her accomplishments, she’ll admit, “It was pretty exciting.” And while it’s groundbreaking to be the first female All-Around in a sport dominated by men, she says she’s only received support from those in the field. “That’s kind of how it is in rodeo anyway,” she says. “They all kind of root for each other.” Even with a growing list of accolades and accomplishments, including a sponsorship from Reinsman Equestrian Products, Williams says, “The thing I am really grateful about in rodeo is my friends. I have friends that I’ll have forever. And it’s opened a lot of doors – doors that wouldn’t have been opened otherwise.” North State rodeo fans can see Williams in action at the Redding Rodeo, which runs May 19-21. •

Dare to bare! Firming treatments and makeup trickery can help you fake great gams. In the season of short shorts and summer skirts, here are some tips to help you stay silky and stubble-free all season long. First, start with a hydrating razor. Try Schick Intuition Plus Sensitive Care razor ($9.29), which has four blades surrounded by skin-softening moisturizers. The ShaveMate Diva 6 disposable razor dispenses shaving cream (which is in the cap) with a touch of a button. Perfect for weekends away. ($9.99 for a three-pack.) Help prevent ingrown hairs with a salicylic acid serum, such as Whish Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum ($22.50). Just roll on after shaving or waxing. Erase stubble altogether with a depilatory cream, which dissolves hair below the surface so skin feels smoother than it does after shaving. Try Sally Hansen Pure Scent-sation Hair Remover for Body ($10). It’s virtually odorless. Veet’s newest formula comes with a handy spatula to wick off the foam (Veet Suprem’ Essence spray-on hair-remover cream, $8). A bit more daring? Try at-home waxing, such as with Bliss Poetic Waxing Kit ($45). Not quite that brave? Leave it to the professionals; there are many fabulous places to go in the North State to keep you trimmed and tidy, here, there and everywhere. Speaking of professionals, shrink those pesky spider veins with sclerotherapy. It’ll cost you, though: around $500 per treatment, and three to four are needed for maximum results. Even cellulite can be handled with Endermologie treatments, such as Lipomassage, to reduce the appearance of dimpled skin. Mechanized rollers and suction even out skin by increasing circulation. Once-a-week sessions are usually necessary to maintain results (around $100, lipomassage-usa.com). No cream or gel can “fix” cellulite, but products with caffeine, which tightens skin by dehydrating fat cells, can reduce the problem temporarily. Just remember–you have to be consistent and use it every day. Try Nivea

Body Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream, $13, or Bliss Fat Girl Slim, $29. This year’s hottest skin-care gadget—the oscillating brush—is meant for your face, but it also works wonders on legs. It polishes the skin and allows moisturizer to penetrate better. Be sure to moisturize twice a day: in the morning while skin is still damp from the shower and before you go to bed at night. Choose a formula with retinol to build collagen and increase elasticity. Spray on a fast tan and conceal flaws with Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs ($10). Add a touch of highlighter (such as Nars Copacabana Illuminator, $29) on toned muscles for extra “oomph.” Using a sunless tanning lotion will help to fake leaner limbs; golden skin absorbs light and helps hide imperfections. (Try Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer, $8.) But don’t think you can get Jennifer Aniston’s legs without a little (ok, a lot of ) sweat: Yoga and Pilates are amazing for your legs. To amp it up, incorporate lunges and squats to your routine, three sets, three times a week. And finally, don’t ruin all of that hard work by wearing the wrong shoes. If you have thick ankles, steer clear of straps and other busy designs. Instead, opt for a streamlined silhouette in a neutral shade. But don’t grab just any old camel-colored pump; choose the right nude for your skin tone to ensure maximum hotness. Try any of these tips to fake those legs you’ve been dreaming about. Products can be found at drugstores, as well as www.sephora.com. •

In the late ‘60s, musician Lonnie Jordan was jamming with a band called The Nightshift in a San Fernando Valley club. In the crowd that night was record producer Jerry Goldstein. He knew catchy musical songs, having co-written radio hits like The Angels’ “My Boyfriend’s Back,” and the Strangeloves’ smash hit, “I Want Candy.” He connected Jordan’s band with British rock singer Eric Burdon of The Animals, who was living in Los Angeles and eager to seek out new musical collaborators. “Eric sat in with us the next night,” says Jordan. “It sounded so good, he invited us to go into a studio to cut some stuff together.” Burdon and WAR began playing live shows in Southern California and produced a debut album, “Eric Burdon Declares WAR”. The album’s best known track, “Spill the Wine,” was a hit and launched WAR’s career. “Our songs spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs and crime and fused rock, jazz, Latin and R&B, as well as being

one of the first integrated bands in the business,” Jordan says. The concept of the band had come along during America's troubled times with Vietnam, Watergate and a host of social issues, Jordan says, "The diversity of influences on us was not only musical, but was social as well. As a result, we tried to be entertaining while also spreading the word of peace, harmony and brotherhood. Our instruments and voices became our weapons of choice and the songs our ammunition." Naming the band WAR seemed ironic, but it was how the band members defined themselves: musical belligerents armed solely with melodies, rhythms and harmony. Funk was – and is – the the musical backbone of WAR, but many more elements were incorporated into their compositions. “People would always say we had a strange mix of music, and I always told them, ‘Well, actually, you can just narrow it down to universal street music. It’s like a mixed salad bowl of all genres.’ ”

Shortly after the sudden death of Burdon's close friend Jimi Hendrix, he left the group. WAR went on to become a creative force. Over the past four decades, WAR has released 19 albums and has achieved 10 top 10 Billboard Pop and R&B singles. A key to its success was keeping the groove loose, and doing extensive jamming during rehearsals and performances; in fact, many of its studio songs were edited together out of longer improvisations. Its steady string of hits reads like a roll call of radio-ready standards, beginning with “Spill The Wine” and followed by an ample arsenal of chart-toppers: “All Day Music,” “Slippin’ Into Darkness,” “The Cisco Kid,” “The World Is A Ghetto,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” “Low Rider” and “Summer,” among many. But Jordan is particularly proud of “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” The song immediately made history when NASA beamed it to the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. As Soviet cosmonauts and U.S. astronauts joined in the cooperative effort, Jordan watched the drama unfold on television with his track playing up in the heavens. “My mind was blown when I heard it playing in space,” Jordan says. “I love space travel. I haven’t done it physically, but my music has.” WAR’s current lineup includes Jordan (singer/keyboardist), Fernando Harkless (saxophone/vocals), Marcos J. Reyes (percussion), Stuart Ziff (lead guitar), Sal Rodriguez (drums/vocals), Pancho Tomaselli (bass guitar, vocals), and Mitch Kashmar (harmonica/vocals). “We’re still doing our thing and bringing multicultural audiences to our concerts, all ages, all races. Fans of hip hop, alt rock, Latin music, jazz. We go out with everyone from Steve Miller to Ice Cube and still do low rider shows.” WAR’s “Low Rider” was the theme song for the ABC series “The George Lopez Show” and in 2008, Burdon and Jordan reunited for the first time in close to 40 years to perform a one-time-only concert at the London Royal Albert Hall. Looking back over the decades, Jordan admits, he never figured WAR’s influence would reverberate so long. “I know some of our music back in the day when the Vietnam War was happening had an impact,” he says. “I just didn’t know that it would continue on today.

Dr. Meredith at WellnessOne of Redding began treating me almost four years ago for debilitating migraine headaches stemming from spinal injuries I had been ignoring for 2 decades. I was very skeptical but complied with the recommended treatment. I have not had one migraine headache since and the proper curve in my neck is nearly restored.

Last July I was involved in a motorcycle accident, sustaining major injuries, including leg, knee and wrist fractures, three bilaterally bulging neck discs and shoulder injuries. My physicians and physical therapists have been instrumental in repairing the bone damage. However, I returned to WellnessOne as soon as I physically could and Dr. Meredith instituted a wellness plan to improve the acute and chronic pain from my new injuries.

I was referred to WellnessOne Acupuncturist Joe Hlibica to treat my pain. � ough skeptical, I began treatment. I also requested help in regaining my energy levels and losing some weight from being laid up. I just completed my sixth session and the di� erence in all of these areas is extremely amazing! My pain levels have been signi� cantly reduced, I have less swelling and I feel more relaxed, less bloated and the scale is � nally inching the right way.

� e sta� at WellnessOne is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Dr. Meredith and Mr. Hlibica each take the time necessary to determine my medical needs and the treatments best suited to improve my speci� c injuries, general health and my overall quality of life. I highly recommend Wellness One.

Lucky 13

Thirteen-year-old Kaitlynn Calkins is at Shasta State Historic Park on Fridays, her hoop skirt swinging gracefully as she tells third- and fourth-graders about her “life” as Mary Dudley Andrews, one of Shasta’s residents in the 1850s. Her feet are encased in authentic period boots (“painful” after a full day, she says), as she talks about the “current” events of her town, shares memories of those buried in the nearby cemetery and teaches youngsters an 1800s activity, such as embroidery, string games or rope-making. Kaitlynn, a three-year veteran, is one of 10 members of the Stellar Living History Docent Program, created and led by teacher Patti Furnari. After spending the first half of the school year researching the era, learning about historical residents, practicing dialogue, being trained by park personnel and learning educational techniques, the docents begin greeting students in February and continue through

the end of the year. They also help out at public events, such as December’s Holiday Open House. Shasta State Historic Park Supervising Ranger Lori Martin says teachers “clamor to be able to get a reservation on the days when the docents will be at the park.” She says the first-person interpretation the docents offer adds an extra layer of education and enjoyment to the field trip experience. “The students are hearing from Miss Dobrowsky or Mrs. Litsch. That gives them a more meaningful way of learning,” Martin says. Furnari taught at Shasta Elementary for 20 years before moving to Stellar Charter School, and she always appreciated the rich historical resource that was practically in her backyard. Yet she believed that Shasta’s pioneer sites, artifacts, museum and historical buildings could be even more valuable if given a little assistance.

“I wanted to put life on the streets of Old Shasta,” says Furnari, who was teaching fourth grade. “I loved that rich curriculum of California history.” She pitched her idea to district administrators (she was teaching at both Shasta and Stellar at the time) and park officials. “They immediately saw that the program would be successful and sustainable, which it has proved to be,” Furnari says. “They saw that this was a win-win for the state parks and education.” In the spring of 1999, Furnari invited fifth- through eighth-grade students to apply for the new program, and she selected 15 of the applicants for the following school year. In her research, Furnari learned that period clothing for each student would cost upwards of $300, so she

spent the summer applying for grants to fund the project. The Town of Shasta Interpretive Association donated $2,000, which bought authentic boots for the students, and she also received generous grants from Sierra Central Credit Union and Wells Fargo. Parents and supporters busily stitched together clothing, cut from historic patterns and fashioned from authentically reproduced fabric. The wardrobe has grown over the years as more apparel is sewn and period attire is donated. Furnari said the docents look forward to clothing selection day. “The girls are just drooling,” she says. Furnari usually has more girls than boys in the program, so she actively recruits to make sure she has enough boys. The key to the program’s success is that each student “becomes” one of Shasta’s prominent citizens of the 1850s. To weave their first-person tales, Furnari encourages them to “read between the lines” while studying current events of the day. Not only does the docent program enrich the learning experience for visiting students, but the docents themselves also benefit. An October field trip to Coloma Days (in California’s Gold Country) gives the docents a feel for the “living history” experience as well as providing the opportunity to gel and become a committed team.

During the year, the docents gain skills in research, public speaking, classroom management and more. They also develop a work ethic. “They have a resume when they’re 13 years old,” Furnari says. In addition, “each docent develops a stewardship for the state, its parks and our artifacts.” “It enhances so many attributes that these young students can build upon for the rest of their lives,” Martin says. A book authored by Patti Furnari and Dottie Smith, “Meandering Through Shasta County and California History,” is available at Stellar Charter School in Redding (530) 245-7730 and the Courthouse Museum in Shasta (530) 243-8194 for $10. All proceeds benefit the Stellar Living History Docent Program. •

LiFESaVERSThe quantity and variety of watercraft on Northern California lakes and waterways make it plain that we have a love affair with all manner of floating vessels. Houseboats, sailboats, pontoon boats, bass boats, drift boats, wakeboard boats, ski boats and plain pleasure boats are in abundance over the summer. That’s in addition to a huge number of kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and inflatables. The U.S. Coast Guard is charged with overall responsibility for the safety of those who navigate upon the waterways, including lakes and rivers far inland of the ocean. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, “America’s Volunteer Lifesavers,” is called upon to assist active duty Coast Guard units in that mission. Locally, auxiliary boats patrol Shasta and Whiskeytown lakes, the Sacramento River and Lake Oroville. They act as additional eyes and ears for the Sheriff ’s Boating Safety Unit, the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service in non-law enforcement roles that include search and rescue operations. Another Auxiliary mission involves public education with the goal of preventing needless tragedy. Even those with years of experience at the helm or tiller can benefit from the Auxiliary’s “About Boating Safety” course. Without marked traffic lanes or stop signs, boaters are still required to follow the navigation rules to avoid collisions. It’s also critical to be aware of other safety rules, including the law that requires every boat to have a Coast Guard-approved life jacket readily available for every person aboard. California law requires children up to age 13 to wear an approved life jacket at all times while on boats up to 26 feet long unless they are inside a cabin. Do you have an orange flag to display whenever a

skier or swimmer is in the water near your boat? Do you ventilate the engine compartment to clear out explosive gas fumes before starting your boat? Do you know how to find out how many people your boat is approved to carry? (Hint: it’s usually on the manufacturer’s sticker located near the helm or transom.) Perhaps the best way to prepare for a safe and fun boating season is to take advantage of a free vessel safety check offered by qualified Auxiliary Vessel Examiners. They help identify any problems that should be resolved before heading out for a fun day on the water, which not only increases safety but helps avoid a potentially expensive law enforcement citation. According to the California Department of Boating and Waterways, 49 percent of boating accidents involve alcohol. Boating under the influence is illegal, and a person’s license to operate any motor vehicle can be suspended or revoked if convicted. Each year, the week before Memorial Day is designated National Safe Boating Week. To mark the event, the Redding Flotilla 39 of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and Coast Guard Air Station Humboldt Bay are planning a demonstration exercise at Whiskeytown Lake on May 21. A rescue swimmer will deploy from a helicopter into the water near Brandy Creek, then be picked up by an auxiliary vessel and hoisted back into the aircraft from the moving boat. •

The Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon is the perfect girlfriends’ getaway. Wine, Shakespeare, art, tax-free shopping, delightful boutiques, used bookstores, outdoor wonders – what’s not to love? Grab some girlfriends and head up Interstate 5 to remind yourselves about the power of sisterhood.

Get the riGht startSet the mood for your all-about-you getaway by treating yourselves to some quality time at the spa. Erase any lingering stress with a body polish, facial or side-by-side massage – we loved the Waterstone Spa. Pamper yourselves – you deserve it. Then stop by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to stock up on essentials. Trust us – you’ll be glad you did.

embark on cultural adventuresCulture abounds in the Rogue Valley, so if you and your girlfriends enjoy live music or theater, you won’t be disappointed. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, with its three theaters, includes the 1,200-seat Elizabethan Theatre, a re-creation of the Fortune Theatre in London; the 600-seat Angus Bowmer Theatre; and the 350-seat New Theater, which usually hosts new or experimental productions. Be sure to get tickets in advance. The delightfully unique Oregon Cabaret Theatre offers high-quality dinner theater productions – you’ll love the crystal chandelier that came from a 1927 Pennsylvania movie palace. Art galleries also abound in the valley, including Schneider Museum of Art at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. On weekend mornings in the summer, Calle Guanajuato across Lithia

ART INBLOOMMOTHERS DAY WEEKEND

On Mother’s Day weekend downtown Medford will host its 11th annual Art In Bloom in celebration of fine arts, flowers, live music, children’s activities, local wine and food. Art in Bloom is a spectacular springtime festival showcasing fine artists from the west coast.

MAY 7-8

Park from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival plays host to the open-air Lithia Artisans Market, where you can meet local artists and buy their work directly from them. You can also celebrate the arts and flowers during Art in Bloom, held in downtown Medford on May 7-8. Rather groove to some live music? Check out the nonprofit Britt Festivals in Jacksonville, an outdoor summer performing arts festival that features world-class artists in a variety of genres. The amphitheater is situated in a spectacular natural setting. Visit brittfest.org for tickets. Another winner? The Medford Jazz Festival, which is Oct. 7-9 this year. If you’re movie buffs but are looking for something different than the standard megaplex feature, try the Varsity Theatre in the heart of downtown. Eclectic and artsy, the Varsity often features foreign and independent films. love the landmarksWe’re spoiled with lovely landscapes here in the North State, but the Rogue Valley has plenty of marvels of its own. Lithia Park in Ashland is a 93-acre wonder – pack a picnic, explore the nature trails or just find a secluded spot to dive into the novel you’ve been waiting to crack open since you got it for Christmas. The traditional Feast of Will celebrates the arrival of summer and the opening of the Elizabethan Stage (this year’s event is June 20). If you’re looking to burn off some of the calories you’ll be enjoying at dinner, the Rogue River offers jetboating, rafting and other aquatic adventures. If you’re into golf, the Centennial Golf Club in Medford is spectacular. You can even hike a section of the Pacific Crest Trail in southern Oregon – it certainly beats the treadmill. We were also enchanted by Jacksonville, a National Historic Landmark town with more than 100 historic buildings and homes. Looking for a unique way to see what this Gold Rush town is all about? Climb aboard the trolley to hear about the people, places and events hidden in its history. Tours depart five times per day and the tickets are super cheap. Some of our former presidents have stayed at the Jacksonville Inn, and we can’t imagine how their wives could have resisted peeking into every shop in the downtown area. The inn’s wine collection is worth seeing and its five-star restaurant is divine. The Rogue Valley’s antique shops are a treasure hunter’s paradise.

treat your tastebuds We love to indulge in unforgettable meals when we’re out with our girlfriends, and the Rogue Valley doesn’t disappoint. Larks – Home Kitchen Cuisine at Ashland Springs Hotel is a foodie’s paradise that celebrates Oregon’s farms, orchards, vineyards, artisan cheese makers and chocolatiers. The chefs work with local farmers to create comfort food from scratch. A bottle of Oregon wine is the perfect companion for your meal. The Black Sheep Pub and Restaurant is a laid-back, friendly place to enjoy dinner and a pint – challenge your girlfriends to a game of darts, backgammon or pub puzzles. Stop by Gepetto’s for a late-night slice of pie and coffee. Ashland offers the most diverse dining options, but if you’re lingering in other parts of the valley, consider Pongsri’s Thai Restaurant in Grants Pass, or Porter’s steakhouse in Medford (yes, you do deserve the molten chocolate lava cake – share the calories with your girlfriends). We’re big breakfast fans, and the Breadboard in Ashland didn’t disappoint (we’re bacon-and-eggs purists, but the strawberry crepes are divine, we’re told). We Northern Californians tend to gravitate toward the Napa Valley when we’re in search of a wine tasting tour, but the Rogue Valley is a delightful alternative. Start your tour at Paschal Winery or Weisinger’s in Ashland, stop at EdenVale Winery and the RoxyAnn Winery in Medford, then wander through the Applegate Valley to Valley View Vineyards, about 10 miles southwest of Jacksonville. You can buy “wine passports” for the Applegate Wine Trail right

in Jacksonville. Grab some Rogue Creamery cheese or some of the region’s signature pears while you’re out – it’ll go perfectly with your new bottles of wine once you’re settled into your hotel room watching chick flicks, telling stories or painting each other’s nails in your PJs.

enjoy a Good niGht’s sleepAshland is replete with Victorian homes that have been restored into bed and breakfasts – and although they’re typically considered a landing spot for a romantic weekend rather than a friends’ getaway, we girls enjoy visiting with the innkeepers and savoring their culinary creations in the morning. Another centrally located option is the Ashland Springs Hotel, the restored version of a 1925 landmark hotel that’s just a few steps away from the Shakespeare Festival (also very convenient if you’ve had dinner and drinks and don’t want to drive). A few doors down, the Columbia Hotel is a homey, inexpensive option that will take you back to the early 1900s. The spacious living room is a lovely spot for a game of cards. •

DON’T LET THIS BE YOUR NIGHTMARE….in 8th grade my parents and i were told i had scoliosis and i had to wear an uncomfortable and embarrassing brace for over a year. This treatment proved to be completely ineffective. i was put through a painful surgery installing 2 rods and screws. The surgery was 8 frightening hours and was followed by 7 days in a hospital, 5 ivs, spinal drip and a catheter. Faced with limited movement and the inability to pick up more than 20 lbs, my life was totally changed. in addition i suffered chronic headaches and severe allergies that required 1 bottle of Afrin (nose spray) a week. i knew i needed help.

i had a great friend that was under care with Dr. Kremer and i was watching amazing improvements in his life through his treatments. I never thought chiropractic could help me. After a few months of care, my life long headaches, neck pain and allergies were gone! i am amazed at the way my life has improved and i tell everyone they need to get checked! i will never know what would have happened if my parents had taken me to a good chiropractor before going through my surgery. now, i just tell everyone to get checked so they can have a choice. It’s more than I had!!

What’s cookin’ By: Lana Granfors Photo: Kara Stewart

BEV’S WATERGATE CAKE WITH COVER-UP ICInG CAKE InGREDIEnTS 1 box (18 ½ oz.) white cake mix (any brand) 1 box (3 ½ oz.) instant pistachio pudding 3 eggs (room temperature) ¾ cup vegetable oil 1 cup lemon-lime soda or ginger ale 1 cup shredded coconutPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend ingredients in a bowl until well blended, approximately 3 minutes. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13x9-inch pan and bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool. Spread with Cover-Up Icing (recipe below) and sprinkle with the toasted coconut and pecans.

ICInG InGREDIEnTS 1 box (3 ½ oz.) instant pistachio pudding 3 envelopes of Dream Whip1 ½ cup milk ¾ cup shredded coconut, toasted 1 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted Mix together the whipped topping, pudding and milk, until smooth.

AUDRA’S FUDGE CAKE CAKE InGREDIEnTS 1 stick margarine ¼ cup cocoa ½ cup oil 1 cup water 2 cup flour 2 cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup buttermilk 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. saltIn a large saucepan, bring margarine, cocoa, oil and water to a boil. Combine flour, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, soda and salt in a bowl. Pour the margarine, cocoa oil and water over the flour mixture. Pour into a 13x9-inch greased and floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Allow cake to cool while preparing icing.ICInG InGREDIEnTS 1 stick margarine ¼ cup cocoa 6 T buttermilk 1 box powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup nutsIn a large saucepan, boil the margarine, cocoa and buttermilk. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and nuts.Pour immediately over the cooled cake.

Potluck Show-StoppersWho doesn’t love a good potluck, especially one filled with show-stoppers? For easy dishes that work great for large gatherings, I return to these two delicious recipes time and again. Bev’s Watergate Cake with Cover-Up Frosting is said to have been created during the Nixon administration. Once this recipe began circulating, pistachio pudding mix flew off the shelves. No one seems able to pinpoint the origin of this cake; the recipe even appeared in the Washington Post. Nor can anyone explain how the cake got its name. For chocolate lovers, Audra’s Fudge Cake will have you going back for seconds, if there is any left. You don’t have to wait for a potluck to try one of these, but at your next potluck or large gathering, they might earn you a spot in the Potluck Hall of Fame.

Lana Granfors enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking and spending time with her friends and family– especially her grandchildren, Jillian and Garet. Currently working part time at the City of Redding’s Visitor Bureau, she enjoys promoting attractions, points of interest and cultural aspects of our community.

BILLY &PATRICK’S TOP 10 PICK

BILLY: It’s hard to choose ONE! I have always enjoyed picnics at Lake Redding Park, in Kids Kingdom with the little ones, the always wonderful Anderson River Park, and down by the river at Turtle Bay. PATRICK: Lake Redding Park is always perfect for a picnic. We also like East Beach at Whiskeytown...it’s fun to watch the kayakers and sailboats.

If you sense a slight incongruity in the title of Blame Sally’s Speeding Ticket and a Valentine, rest assured

that it’s as purposeful as the life it describes is random. The album lifts its name from a line in the bridge of the hard charging leadoff single, “Living Without You,” which describes a day, or maybe entire existence, that’s “sweet and sour at the same time/mink and a porcupine/speeding ticket and a valentine.” Clearly, this is a band that knows its oxymorons. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. For more information, call (530) 467-4181.

WHAT’S IN STORE

Store Front name DIANE KIDD occupation OWNER, CUSTOM WOOD CREATIONS

On an average weekday, you’ll find Diane Kidd working at her son’s company, Western Glass. But in her spare time, you might find the longtime North State resident feeding a hobby that involves another medium – rich, beautiful wood. Visitors to Enjoy the Store have found that her pens, bottle toppers and other Custom Wood Creations are the perfect size to tuck into festive gift baskets.

Tell us about your business.It’s a part-time hobby turned obsession. I was making things for fun, and then friends and family started buying them to give as gifts. From there it turned into more sales. About 10 years ago, I took a cabinet-making class at Shasta College. Once I got started, I loved it. I have made several pieces of furniture for our home and some for our two grown kids, but I mostly make smaller things now.

What’s your favorite type of wood?My favorite is cocobolo wood (a tropical hardwood). When you get it turned, it’s just so different. A lot of the woods I turn are exotic woods from Africa and South America. I also love to find big chunks of burl. My friends bring it to me, and I look at garage sales for old burl clocks and things I can use. Then my husband Dennis will cut them up and make them a manageable size so I can work with them. Friends will bring me pieces of wood from tree trimmings, etc., and see if I can use them. I get most of my exotic woods through the mail, and burls are great when I can find them. Each piece is unique, and I’m always excited to see how it turns out.

How did you learn to turn wood?I’d never worked on a lathe at the college – I’d never even watched anyone turn, so when I became interested in smaller projects I bought a small lathe and a book and started learning to turn, and I was hooked. There is still a lot to learn, but it’s a fun process.

Do you work with materials other than wood?I turn a lot of acrylics because they’re each so different and they have so many beautiful colors. Some people prefer them for gifts, although I enjoy turning wood more.

Tell us about your shop.My husband built it quite a few years back. It was just 10x12 feet, and it was really crowded because I have my saws and drill press and all that in there, so he extended it another eight feet. Now I have room to move around and work better. I’m over 50, so it’s getting harder and harder to move some of the bigger tools. We put some of them on wheels so we can roll them. He also put a deck on front of the shop that’s 6x10 feet, so I can roll something out there and work in the backyard on nice days.

It sounds like you have a right-hand man.We’ve been married since 1972. We met at (the former) Nova High School, and then we both went to Central Valley High. My family moved to Burney and his dad was working up there, so we started dating. He’s an equipment operator, and he’s wonderful about helping me in the shop. We ride our Harleys together, we ride our quads together – we just have a blast together. He’s my best friend.

What’s next for you, business wise?I’m just now learning to turn bowls. I have a mini lathe so I really can’t do anything too big until I get a bigger lathe, but I probably will at some point.

It’s true that every picture tells a story—and some stories need a picture in order to be told. A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) art workshops allow survivors of domestic violence to tell their stories in unique ways using different art forms. The California-based nonprofit organization believes art helps survivors of domestic violence break their silence, recover a sense of safety and develop a positive vision for their futures. Angela Jones, shelter director for the Shasta Women’s Refuge, has seen firsthand the healing power of art during her eight years at the Redding shelter. “The art workshop has an amazing effect on many of our women,” she says. “Oftentimes they have a hard time working through their feelings and sometimes the art reaches parts that the client herself can’t even label.” While these workshops are not deemed “art therapy,” they do provide therapeutic benefit. Redding marriage and family therapist Alexa Singer-Telles, an artist and volunteer with AWBW for more than a decade, says, “The workshops are specifically focused on giving these women a chance to be in a safe environment and be with themselves. In the difficult circumstances they’ve lived in, they’ve been under siege much of the time. The art experience gives them a chance to creatively express both their pain and their hope for healing and for a future.” Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, AWBW was begun by visionary artist Cathy Salser who left her job as a teacher to offer art workshops and trainings at domestic violence shelters across the country. Upon returning to Los Angeles, she started a pilot program of weekly art workshops with a local shelter, and AWBW was born. Today, the Shasta County program is one of 172 nationwide reaching more than 250,000 participants. Each workshop, led by a pair of AWBW volunteers, opens with a short meditation or relaxation exercise, followed by time spent getting to know each other and a demonstration of the evening’s project. Although participants are encouraged to attempt the featured project, they are allowed to go where their creativity leads them. “There are no rules,” says Mary Beth Burns, who coordinates Shasta County AWBW with Deidra Schweitzer. “They can do whatever they want. The point is to explore their creativity.”

Burns says the workshops are aimed at giving the women a chance to look at their futures positively. Projects like “Funeral of ‘I Cant’s’” or “Personal Needs Flower” focus on enhancing self-worth, self-empowerment and emotional expression through mediums as diverse as pen and ink, acrylics, paper and three-dimensional objects. The coordinators meet monthly with volunteers. Burns says, “You don’t need to be an artist (or a teacher) or even have an art background in order to volunteer.” Retired teacher Gail Stream believes compassion and a non-judgmental attitude are really the essential assets required of prospective volunteers. Stream, who often co-facilitates a second AWBW Women’s Art Workshop in the community for survivors of domestic violence outside the shelter setting, says that although participation varies from one to several women, “It’s so worth it whether it’s one or five. It gives us a chance to give them individual attention in the small group workshop.” The Shasta County program, in collaboration with the City of Redding and North Valley Art League, has installed occasional exhibits showcasing the art produced by participants of the Women’s Refuge weekly workshops. AWBW believes that such exhibits play a vital role in raising awareness and breaking the silence and shame surrounding domestic violence. Through the art workshop, many women find both the words to express themselves and hope for their futures. Said one survivor: "At the beginning I thought, 'How could cutting and gluing my thoughts on paper be helpful?' However, by the end of the session, I was in tears - healing tears. I could see how my abuser beat the sun rays out of my life. Just as the sun rays break through on a stormy day, I too will break through my storm and shine again.” •
