MARINECORPSLEAGUE Commemorative Photo Book of Lassen Volcanic National Park to be sold in sum- mer of 2016 MINERAL The Lassen Association is creating a special photo book of Lassen Volcanic National Park's first 100 years as a park. Lassen Volcanic Na- tional Park will be cele- brating its 100th anniver- sary in August. This book will be created by Execu- tive Director Melanie Al- len and Joe Vine of the Copy Center in Red Bluff and will be completely printed and bound in the United States, under the direction of Vine. This commemorative book will be a unique me- mento during the cen- tennial celebration of the park. The eruptions in 1915 were the triggering force that thrust Lassen toward national attention and rapid national park status in 1916. The book will showcase old and newer photos of the park. The Lassen Association is asking for your help with possible photos and short stories that might be of interest to include in this book. If you are inter- ested in sharing your pho- tos or short stories, call Al- len at 378-1495 or write to lassenassociation@yahoo. com. Contributors will not re- ceive monetary compensa- tion, but their names will appear next to their photo- graphs and stories. The deadline to submit stories or photos is Jan. 25 and photos from 1916-2016 are appreciated. LASSEN PARK Commemorativebooktomarkcentennial As part of the North- ern Sacramento Valley In- tegrated Regional Water Management Plan devel- opment process, the plan's board invites project propo- nents to submit new proj- ects or modify previously submitted projects for re- view and possible inclusion in the plan. The project submis- sion period will take place through Feb. 5. During plan develop- ment, the board approved the goals and objectives for the plan, which were developed through ex- tensive public outreach. These goals and objec- tives reflect the vision and aspirations of the region and serve as the foun- dation of the plan itself. The board is interested in all water-related projects within the region that ad- dress one or more of the approved plan objectives. Projects are of interest to the board whether in a conceptual phase or ready for implementation. Potential benefits of submitting a proposal for inclusion in the plan in- clude eligibility of the project for specific fund- ing programs; increased opportunities for fund- ing from other sources; increased visibility, sup- port and information transfer to others in the region, and the state, for your project and opportu- nities for partnering, in- tegration and coordina- tion with others in the region for improved local and regional water man- agement. Submittal forms are at www.nsvwaterplan.org. The project proposal dead- line will be 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5. To receive an e-mail alert when the project solicita- tion process is launched, write to bcwater@butte- county.net, if you are not on the e-mail list. For more information on the process, visit: www.ns- vwaterplan.org or write to Ryan Teubert at rteubert@ tcpw.ca.gov. ENVIRONMENT Projects sought for regional water plan The late humorist and master of salesmanship, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, said one of my favorite quotes of all time: "You are the same today that you are going to be in five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read." While he didn't specify, I'm nearly certain Jones was talking about cook- books. Reading cook- books has changed me. Not only have they made me a better cook, learn- ing how to do it and fall- ing in love with the ac- tivity has impacted our household finances. Little by little, as I be- came a better cook, we naturally began to eat at home more. Even now, the more I read, the more I cook; the more I cook the better a cook I be- come and the more of- ten we eat at home. It's a beautiful thing! The hubs and I have reached the point that eating out has become more of a "Do we have to?!" than a "We get to." We eat at home, gladly, at least 99 percent of the time. Today, I want to tell you about my current four favorite cookbooks (the lineup does change from time to time) and suggest a way that you could use any one of these fabulous cookbooks as the central item in a gift basket that you cre- ate for an aspiring home cook. I guarantee that a cookbook — plus sev- eral items to go with the theme of that particular book — will delight any home cook, from novice to advanced. What makes me so sure? Because I know how happy I'd be to receive any one of these gift baskets for any occa- sion. GOURMET ITALIAN GIFT BASKET "Everyone is Italian on Sunday," by Ra- chael Ray (Atria Books, 2015). This brand new cookbook currently sits at the top of my list of fa- vorites. The recipes I've tried in the past three weeks have all turned out so well, I'm pretty sure that soon I'll be speak- ing with an Italian ac- cent. At nearly 400 pages, this oversized book con- tains hundreds more of what appear to be fan- tastic recipes. I can't wait to test them. This cook- book has all the earmarks of a great gift. It's beauti- ful, quite hefty and writ- ten in an engaging, fun style. $26. HOME CHEF GIFT BASKET "How to Cook Without a Book," by Pam Anderson (Broadway Books, 2000). You know how much I love "Chopped," the Food Channel show, right? This book is helping to build my confidence in looking at a pile of ingredients and figuring out what to do with them, without a specific recipe. Would you believe I now know how to make Pad Thai sauce by heart? I do, and so much more! I just adore this book and study it all the time. So don't ask to borrow it. You need your own copy. In a gift basket built around this "uncook- book," I would add a nice balloon whisk, a set of bamboo kitchen spoons and spatulas, a nice pair of good kitchen shears, a nice big stainless steel colander and a Visalia Chop Wizard — my favor- ite onion and vegetable chopping tool. ARTISAN BREAD GIFT BAS- KET "The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day," by Jeff Hertz- berg and Zoe Francois (Thomas Dunne Books, 2013). I might as well be the president of the Ar- tisan-in-Five fan club for how this book and the method have changed my life. It does require a few strategic pieces of equipment. Take care to add the following four items to your gift bas- ket: A wooden pizza peel, an oven thermometer, a dough-rising bucket or other 6-quart container with a lid and a baking stone are must-haves for baking artisan bread at home. All four items ar- ranged together with the book in a big basket is sure to delight! As for Jones' other mention in that quote, I am so happy that you are one of the people I've met in the past five years. Thank you for being in my life and for being such a loyal reader.
