Magazine: August 2010 Issue

Endless Summer

Published: 28-Jul-2010

August already? Ready or not, summer’s long, hot days will soon give way to school bells and autumn leaves.

 For many of us, that means a little more time to relax at the lake. For Chris Jones, however, it means getting ready to cycle 943 miles in China and another 759 miles in Britain as part of Team Type 1, whose mission is to show that no dreams are off limits to people with diabetes.
And for Gloria Heese and Janel Sawataski, both Sisters of Mercy, this time of year means it’s time to pack up their face paint and hit the road to deliver messages of faith, hope and forgiveness through miming. “We try to get an idea from the head past the neck to the heart,” says Sawatski. We’ll tell you more about them in this issue.

 Speaking of heart – we consider the Cascade Theatre to be the heart of our growing, thriving, delightful downtown, and we salute this historical landmark on its 75th anniversary. “What makes the Cascade cool is the connection it has to the community, because 75 years later, we’re still doing entertainment,” says Jeff Darling, the theatre’s general manager.

 If you have an empty space on your calendar, consider an excursion to Lassen County, which is featured in our Editors’ Picks this month. The landscape you’ll enjoy is much the same as the one that prompted gold miners, farmers and timber fallers to stake their claim in this wonderland of volcanic landscapes and wilderness.

 Need some ideas for what to do a little closer to home this weekend? Check out this month’s Top 10. Of course, we hope you’ll wrap up the workweek by spending your Friday nights at Enjoy Movies in the Park. This month, it’s on the Redding Convention Center lawn and donations will go to Riverfront Playhouse’s capital campaign fund, so we can all help push them closer to their goal of moving downtown.

 Finally, we’re thrilled to invite you to Enjoy the Store opening mid-August. We can’t wait for you to see the assortment of locally produced items that our talented neighbors are offering for sale. In this issue, we’ll tell you more about the tenacious owner of Tres Classique, whose custom infused balsamic vinegars and oils are available for purchase (and sampling!) at the store. So please stop by, browse a little, and let us know what you think. Enjoy!
