The Day in the Park festival at Manzanita Lake is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes family activities, displays, ranger-led programs, a raffle and barbecue ($12 per person), proceeds of which will benefit other projects within the national park. The ribbon cutting and tour of the Volcano Adventure Camp is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. “It’s fitting that we commemorate Lassen Volcanic’s 100th year as a national park with the dedication of Volcano Adventure Camp, as our anniversary isn’t so much about the past as it is about the future,” Park Superintendent Steve Gibbons said. “It is a future that will be influenced by children whose lives will be equally influenced and shaped from what they experience at the new campground.” Volcano Adventure Camp replaces the former Crags Campground with tent cabins, picnic shelters, restrooms, showers and fire rings designed specifically to accommodate youth groups. “Kids now have a place all their own to experience Lassen Volcanic with one another and their leaders, while learning how the park’s geology, wildlife, plant life and ecology fit into our natural world,” Gibbons said. To assist the national park in developing Volcano Adventure Camp, the Lassen Park Foundation (LPF) raised over $480,000 in donations from private individuals, companies and organizations. That supplemented some $306,000 contributed by the National Park Service to the project. “This is another example of Northern Californians coming together to do something great for their kids and their local national park,” said Bob Warren who chaired the Volcano Adventure Camp committee for the LPF. “Volcano Adventure Camp helps not just the youth and school groups who can afford to camp in the national park, but also many underserved kids who otherwise wouldn’t have the same opportunity.” PHOTO / National Park Service - flickr An eruption of Lassen Peak in 1915. The following year, Lassen Volcanic National Park was established. Other events scheduled during August at Lassen Volcanic National Park: Naturalization Ceremony At 11 a.m. Aug. 9, a naturalization ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Manzanita Lake Amphitheater. Exactly one hundred years from the day Lassen Volcanic National Park was established in 1916, 100 new United States citizens will take their oath to this country. It also is a Fee Free Day at the park. Dark Sky Festival Join park rangers, NASA scientists, astronomers, and planetary geologists in celebrating all that is out of this world during Lassen’s Dark Sky Festival scheduled Aug. 12-14. Special programs, presentations, hikes and junior ranger activities will be offered. Event schedules will be available at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center and Loomis Museum, or view the schedule at www.nps.gov/lavo. Lassen Volcanic National Park was established on Aug. 9, 1916, following the 1914 and 1915 eruptions of Lassen Peak. It was the 15th national park established by Congress.

Founded as a retreat for musicians in Trinity County, they have presented over 160 public events in their five-plus years, hosting over 50 musicians from across the U.S., Canada and Europe. And they are able to offer all of their concerts as “free and open to the public.” Thanks to sponsorships from many individuals and local businesses, the musicians are always able to invite audiences to donate what they can, rather than pay a fixed ticket price. Festival director Ian Scarfe said he is fully committed to this model. “We are able to welcome families and music lovers who have never heard live classical music before, and they are invited to contribute whatever amount is appropriate for them,” he said. “What is particularly exciting for us is that revenues have increased since we switched from ticket sales to a donation-based model. That means our audiences are really inspired.” This year ’s group of musicians performed a series of concerts in June. They return this month with concerts Aug. 5-7 in Hyampom, Weaverville and Redding featuring a program of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Brahms’ Piano Quintet that Scarfe said are two of the greatest masterpieces of chamber music ever written. A larger ensemble is scheduled Aug. 12-14 to perform at several scenic outdoor venues in Hyampom, Willow Creek and Coffee Creek. A small string orchestra will be joined by harpsichord and flute for Baroque concertos by Telemann and J.S. Bach, as well as two dramatic string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven and Bela Bartok. The final weekend, Aug. 26-27, will feature a pair of concerts in Weaverville and Redding featuring the RossoRose violin/piano duo and Amy Zanrosso and Alisa Rose. They’ll be joined by cellist Elizabeth Vandervennet. The ensemble will perform Russian works by Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich, Antonin Dvorak’s elegaic and folksy “Dumky Trio,” and a world-premiere of “Piano Trio for Luisa,” a commission by Michael Cogan of Redding, one of the music festival’s sponsors. Following is the schedule: “Quintets of Mozart and Brahms” Aug. 5, 7 p.m. - Hyampom Community Hall, Hyampom. Aug. 6, 7 p.m. - Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center, Weaverville. Aug. 7, 2 p.m. - Pilgrim Congregational Church, Redding. “Bach goes Outdoors – Music of Bach, Telemann, Beethoven, and Bartok” Aug. 12, 7 p.m. - Hyampom Community Hall, Hyampom. Aug. 13, 7 p.m. - China Creek Amphitheater, Willow Creek. Aug. 14, 6 p.m. - Trailhead Pizza Cafe, Coffee Creek. “East Meets West – Music of Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Dvorak, and Alisa Rose” Aug. 26, 7 p.m. - Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center, Weaverville. Aug. 27, 7 p.m. - Pilgrim Congregational Church, Redding. Sign ups, sponsorships being taken for SVdP ‘Putt for the Poor’ Golf Tournament Sign ups are being taken for the first SVdP “Putt for the Poor” Golf Tournament to help the poor and needy in Northern California. The event is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Sept. 10 at The Links at Rolling Hills in Corning. North State District Council of Saint Vincent dePaul Society will be holding the tournament to benefit SVdP Society Conferences of seven cities in Northern California. SVdP Society hopes to draw players, advertising “Tee” donors ($100 per tee) and gift donations for a raffle. Entry fee for the golf tournament is $100 per player. “Our plan is to continue our plea to ‘help us help others,’ but also to have fun doing it,” said organizer Brendan Butler.

In a journal article, biologists from the University of Florida and Oklahoma State University found that more than 80 percent of survey respondents want package labels on all foods that have “DNA” content (even though, yes, all meat and vegetables have DNA). The Oklahoma researcher found earlier that about the same number want such labels to be “mandatory.” (Law professor Ilya Somin suggests playfully raising the fright level of those respondents by adding this “alarm” to the label they demand: “Warning: Pregnant women are at very high risk of passing on DNA to their children.”) Client Partners is only one of several Japanese agencies that supply rental “friends” to the lonely, for hours or days of companionship tailored to the needs of the socially challenged client (with two rules, however: “no romance,” “no lending money”). A writer for AFAR travel magazine interviewed several “friends,” one of whom explained: “Japan is all about face. We don’t know how to talk from the gut. We can’t ask for help.” Said the female “friend” (who offered a good-bye handshake to the interviewer): “There are many people who haven’t been touched for years ... who start to cry when we shake hands with them.” Good Samaritan Derrick Deanda is facing a $143 bill from paramedics in Elk Grove, California, after he, passing a car crash, jumped out to pull out a man and his three children (including a 2-year-old), who were trapped in the wreckage. A short time later the paramedics arrived and, noticing that Deanda had a cut on his arm (from breaking the car’s window to free the family), bandaged him. Elk Grove has a policy charging “all SDWLHQWV´DWD¿UVWUHVSRQGHUVLWH for the “rescue,” and Deanda received his bill in June. In May, a 16-year-old boy in Lakewood, Washington, not only used Facebook to set up a marijuana-dealer robbery (one of many people, lately, to incriminate themselves on social media), but during the robbery itself accidentally shot himself in the groin and femoral artery, requiring life-saving seven-hour surgery.

The plan for Dr. Ren Xiaoping of Harbin Medical University calls for removing both heads (the deceased donor’s and the live recipient’s), connecting the blood vessels, stabilizing the new neck, and “bath(ing)” spinal-cord nerve endings chemically so they will connect.

District Attorney Jerry Jones in Monroe, Louisiana, dropped drug and gun charges against college football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones (who play for University of Alabama but are from Monroe).

Quixotic Malaysian designer Moto Guo made a splash at Milan’s fashion week when he sent model after model to the runway with facial blotches that suggested they had zits or skin conditions. One reporter was apparently convinced, concluding, “Each man and woman on the runway looked miserable.” Nelson Hidalgo, 47, was arrested in New York City and charged with criminal negligence and other crimes for parking his van near Citi Field during a Mets game and drawing players’ complaints when he ramped up the van’s 80-speaker sound system. “I know it’s illegal, but it’s the weekend,” said Hidalgo. “I usually (just) get a ticket.” Trina Hibberd of Mission Beach, $XVWUDOLD¿QDOO\VKRZHGFRQFHUQDERXW the python living inside her walls that she has known about for 15 years but (perhaps “Australian-ly”) had chosen to ignore. ,Q-XQHLWZDQGHUHGRXW±DIRRW long, 90-pound Scrub Python she calls “Monty.” “All hell broke loose,” a neighbor said later, as snake-handlers took Monty to a more appropriate habitat. Brigham Young University professor Jason Hansen apologized after coaxing a student (for extra credit) to drink a small vial of his urine in class. The physiology session was on kidney function, and Hansen thought the stunt would call attention to urine’s unique properties. He confessed later that the “urine” was just food coloring with vinegar added; that he had used the stunt in previous classes; and that he usually admits the ruse at the next class session. Nonetheless, Hansen’s department chair suggested he retire the concept. In Nashville, Tennessee, sex worker Jonisia Morris, 25, was charged with robbing her client by (according to the police report) removing the man’s wallet from his trousers while he received oral sex seated in his car, extracting his debit card, and returning the wallet to KLVSRFNHW±ZLWKRXWKLVQRWLFLQJ Recidivist Jesse Johnson, 20, was charged again in June (for suspicion of disturbing the peace) after he had crawled underneath a woman’s car at an Aldi store’s parking lot in Lincoln, Nebraska, waited for her to return, and then, as she was stepping into the car, reaching out to fondle her ankle. It was Johnson’s third such charge this year, and he initially tried to deny the actual touch, instead claiming that he was underneath the car “simply for the visual.” Johnson acknowledged to the judge that he needs help and that he had been in counseling but had run out of money. (At press time, the status of the latest incident was still pending.) Australian lawyer William Ray was killed on May 22 when he was thrown from his all-terrain “quad bike” in rural Victoria state and pinned underneath. Ray had come to prominence by representing Honda as the company balked at mandatory installation of anti-roll bars on quad bikes. A 48-year-old employee at North Central Bronx Hospital in New York City died of a heart attack at work on June 7, under circumstances (according to police) indicating that he was viewing a pornographic video at the moment of his death.

Venice Beach artists to exhibit current and past work in Yreka Pacific Crest Music Festival concerts scheduled in three north state cities Laddie John Dill and Charles Arnoldi will be exhibiting current and past work for their show “Venice Beach” beginning Aug. 5 at Liberty Arts Gallery in Yreka. Dill and Arnoldi, based in Venice Beach since the early 1970s, are part of a group of artists that established the Los Angeles Contemporary Art scene in the 1960s and ’70s. Both artists are known for their innovative, constantly evolving and bold approach to making art. A central figure in the California Light and Space movement, Dill has been crafting light and earthy materials like concrete, sand, glass, and metal into luminous sculptures, wall pieces, and installations since the 1970s. Artwork on exhibition by Dill will include his glowing “Light Sentences” - fingerthick, seven-foot-long verticals made of differently colored tubular neon segments of varying lengths. Also on display will be burnished aluminum wall sculptures called “Light Traps.” A survey of Arnoldi’s paintings, drawings and sculptures from 1987 through 2016 will be exhibited at the show, including one of his iconic chainsaw paintings. Amidst all the permutations of sculpture, painting, drawing and assemblage that Arnoldi has created over the years, the armature is the single Art by Charles “Chuck” Arnoldi. constant: the grouping of parts, the assembly of separate entities made new by pattern, angle, division, balance and interaction. An opening reception for the artists is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 5 at the gallery, located at 108 Miner St., Yreka. The show, curated by Jill Gardner, will continue through Sept. 9. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit LibertyArtsYreka.org, or call (530) 8420222. Hot Buttered Run in Mt. Shasta Hot Buttered Rum, a highly regarded string band, wraps up the free Mt. Shasta Summer Concert Series 6:30 p.m. Aug. 14 at Shastice Park, 800 Rockfellow Drive. Page 22 / August 2016 / After Five From July 30 to August 21, the Pacific Crest Music Festival will be in residence in Northern California, presenting one young artist concert and two faculty artist concerts during its fourth season. The young artist concert is scheduled Aug. 7 at the POPS Performing Arts & Cultural Center in Dunsmuir. It will feature students from Pacific Crest Music Festival, who will play alongside faculty artists in chamber music works by Schubert, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and more. The faculty artist series will take place at St. Mark’s Preservation Square in Yreka, the POPS Center in Dunsmuir, and the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Redding on the weekends of Aug. 12-14 and Aug. 19-21. These performances feature Patrick Dalton-Holmes and George Figueroa on violins, Michael Whitson on viola, Laura Gaynon on cello, and Chiharu Sai on piano. The first faculty performance include works from the Classical Era: Franz Josef Haydn’s String Quartet, Op. 76, No. 3 and W.A. Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor. The second performance will highlight Romantic Era masterworks: Antonín Dvorak’s Piano Quintet No. 2 and Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in F minor, Op. 80. “These pieces are some of the most beloved of the chamber music repertoire, and for good reason,” festival founder and director Michael Whitson said. “It will be an incredible journey of passion, drama and beauty.” Pacific Crest Music Festival, now in its fourth season, began as a one-week educational seminar for high school music students. It has grown into a competitive international chamber music seminar, with 19 students this year hailing from the United States, Japan and Uruguay. This year’s inaugural faculty artist series follows the first annual Winter Tour, which took place in early January 2016. The faculty artists, known as the “Pacific Crest Chamber Players,” performed in four chamber music concerts in Dunsmuir, Redding and Yreka as well as Ashland, Oregon. Whitson expects the biannual performances to continue. Chiharu Sai Young Artist Concert Sun., Aug. 7 POPS Performing Arts & Cultural Center, 5819 Sacramento Ave., Dunsmuir.
