Paradise Revival Fest celebrates resilience on the Camp Fire 4-year anniversary

To thank our businesses that have invested in our community and our recovery, the Town of Paradise is offering two grants of $5,000 to Paradise businesses. A total of $100,000 has been allocated for each program. The Town of Paradise Business Investment Grant Program (BIG) is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. Applications will be available in XX, and grants will be awarded until all allocated funds have been exhausted.

On November 5, the Paradise Revival Festival welcomed hundreds of people to the Terry Ashe Recreation Center in Paradise to commemorate the 4-year anniversary of the historic 2018 Camp Fire. The event was organized by local nonprofits and community members. “We feel it is essential to provide an opportunity for the community to gather, to reflect on the loss but really to celebrate our resilience as a community. The eyes of the world hone in on Paradise every November 8th. We want the world to

Paradise on Ice returns for 9th season!

Hegenbart Septic Tank Cleaning and DADCO Construction present the Annual Truck Parade of Lights and Canned Food Drive Saturday, December 3rd. Anyone with a decorated truck or vehicle is welcome to enter the parade for entry fee of non-perishable food. Bring your decorated vehicle to the Thomas Ace Hardware parking lot, corner of Clark and Pearson, at 4:30 p.m. and register at the store entrance. Judging will start at 5:00pm.

Judging begins at 5:00 p.m. Trophies will be presented before the parade starts. For the safety of everyone, please watch the parade from the parade route. Trucks will leave Ace Hardware at 6:30pm and

travel west on Pearson, proceeding north on Skyway to the Holiday shopping center and doubling back on the same route. That means, all trucks can be seen twice!

By Kristi Sweeney

After the parade, visit the Winter Wonderland at Terry Ashe Park and enjoy the holiday lights, decorated trees then grab a pair of skates and skate under the stars.

The Ice Rink is back and hosting skaters at the Terry Ashe Recreation Center’s Winter Wonderland. The rink known as Paradise on Ice has been the most popular recreational activity on the Ridge since its inception in 2013, attracting thousands of skaters and visitors each year.

If you are not joining the parade, drop off your nonperishable food at Ace Hardware, 5720 Clark Road, or Nic’s, 6256 Skyway.

FROM THE DESK OF YOUR CHAMBER Celebrating the 51st edition of the Ridge Business Journal By Monica Nolan Executive Director, Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce The Ridge Business Journal (RBJ) was born in 2010, the brainchild of Carol Peterson, Chamber Board member and publisher of the Paradise Post. Past Chamber President Max Barteau of Barteau Law and The Comeback Diner served as original editor. As the masthead states, its mission is “connecting the Ridge Business Community.” To that end, the RBJ is a platform to serve the commercial needs of the Ridge by telling our singular story, as only we can.

While Max has moved on, his voice and vision still inform this publication and I hear his voice in my ear: “When you live in a community, really LIVE there.” Max’s singular brand of energy and commitment was matched only by his intolerance of poor grammar.

From day one, the RBJ has benefitted from the talent and commitment of current co-editor, Carol Peterson and graphic artist Jeri Luce. I have also been involved in all 51 publications, putting my English degree to use.

Storytelling can happen in so many ways, but there’s nothing as permanent as stories printed on paper

Thousands of copies of the November/ December 2018 edition of the RBJ were delivered to the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce on November 6, 2018 – just two days before the Camp Fire. We reintroduced the RBJ in 2020. Most past editions of the RBJ are available to read online at Issuu, linked on Paradischamber. com’s publications page.

Call me a dinosaur, but I often judge the health of a city by the health of its newspaper.

Without a publication driving civic engagement and conversation, without a dedicated and trusted source keeping citizens informed, without a marketplace for businesses to advertise their offerings, without a place to read about high school sports teams and service organizations, it’s easy for a town to feel inferior.

Paradise became one of those news deserts after the Camp Fire. Most residents had to flee the Ridge and so did businesses, including the Paradise Post newspaper.

The Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce was one of the fortunate organizations that expanded after the Camp Fire—essentially, we transformed from our peacetime preparation model to full wartime deployment. With our expansion of service and membership, the RBJ grew, adding a “Business Matters” section, and including our entire membership directory in every edition.

This growth would not have been possible without the advertising sales, publishing, and distribution expertise of Mark and Kathryn Orlando of Preferred Professionals.

Another maxim from Mr. Barteau: “Don’t do anything unless you can do it WELL.” With that, we proudly share accolades from an esteemed community partner, and fellow English major. David Little, former editor of the Chico Enterprise Record, published the following in North Valley Community Foundation’s monthly newsletter.

The Ridge is recovering, though, with new homes and new businesses. And there’s a publication chronicling the recovery. It’s not a traditional newspaper, but a quarterly publication put out by the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce.

The fall edition of the Ridge Business Journal is a robust 44 pages. In another nod to the dinosaurs, it’s mainly a printed edition. The only online presence is a replica of the printed edition.

There are stories written by many of the nonprofits we help with grants, including the Rebuild Paradise Foundation, Camp Fire Collaborative, Butte County Local Food Network, Habitat for Humanity and Boys and Girls Club Teen Center. There’s also a story from NVCF detailing what we have done and will do on the Ridge.

The chamber does a great job with the publication. Pick one up. It will make you feel good about what’s happening in Paradise.

FROM THE DESK OF THE PARADISE MAYOR Town Mayor’s update for the Paradise community turn once the Franchise Tax Board has generated updated instructions. These are expected to be posted sometime in February 2023 with new forms to reflect AB1249.

If you have questions, the Franchise Tax Board is prepared to answer your questions. Call (800)852-5711. Our State Tax codes are complicated, and it’s advisable to check with your tax preparer as to how this relates to your personal situation.

A huge thank you to Assemblyman Gallagher for his hard work on getting this passed.

Will there be Federal Tax relief?

No definitive answer yet

G

reetings everyone, so some great news from Assemblyman Gallagher: his bill, AB1249 is now law. it exempts Fire Victims Trust settlement payments from an individual’s state income tax.

Those who have received settlement payments in 2020 or 2021 and have already filed tax returns for those years will need to file an amended re-

On the Federal (IRS) side, Congressman LaMalfa continues to work hard to get relief from the Federal Tax. This is much more complex than the State and there is no definitive answer at this point. The hope is there will be an answer by the end of this congressional session. However, the State’s tax exemption decision is helping with the pursual of Federal tax relief for fire victims.

More on the PG&E Trust As of November 1, 2022 a lot has taken place. On September 29, 2022, the Trust reported that $117 million was recovered in a lawsuit filed by the Trust against the officers and directors of PG&E at the time of the Camp Fire.

In October 2022, the trust sold 35 million shares (total of 70 million) to add nearly $1 billion in cash to the fund.

Cathy Yanni, Trustee of the Fire Victims Trust, announced that the S&P 500 added PG&E stock to its index, which their financial advisers feel will have a positive effect on future stock prices.

As of November 1, 2022, 86% of the total claimants have received their determinations and more than 50,000 claimants have received at least a partial payment. The total payout so far is $5.36 billion.

Business claims were set up after the personal claims model was built and have now started moving along with 66% having their determination letters. Additional staff has recently been added to help speed up business claims.

Payments have increased significantly

during the months of August through October and the trend is expected to continue.

I hope both updates help in understanding the current situation and what is still to come.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, A very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year.

Wishing you a holiday season sparkled with joy, prosperity, and happiness

What’s happening with Paradise roads?

By now, anybody who has driven through Paradise has experienced some form of road work, whether that’s undergrounding of utilities, repaving, or other types of construction. As the Town continues to rebuild, these are great signs of future growth and development - even if it slows down our morning commutes by a few minutes! Roads are a major recovery concern defined by residents in the Long-Term Recovery Plan, and are a significant priority in the regrowth of the Town.

Want to know when your road will be repaved?

As areas of Town are completing underground work, the Town of Paradise is set to begin a town-wide repaving project for all publicly owned and maintained roads.

Holiday Shopping in Paradise

Local jeweler creates unique fine jewelry Give that special person a unique piece of jewelry created in Paradise.

For many years, longtime jeweler, John Woodworth, has been creating fine jewelry, a craft he learned from his father. The senior Woodworth was a Paradise jeweler and watch repairman who taught his son John how to cut gemstones at the early age of twelve. They set their stones in white and yellow gold mountings, creating distinctive fine jewelry.

Today John Woodworth still is creating exquisite jewelry, in part from his father’s collection of gems and gold quartz. This holiday Woodworth’s has a large selection of opal, amethyst, blue topaz, pearl, diamond and other gemstones in rings, earrings, and pendants perfect for gifting. If you are looking for a special gift for that special person, look no further than Woodworth’s Jewelry.

CSL Paradise unites with Chico, leaving a legacy to the Ridge community

By Molly Mele’ President, Board of Trustees, Center for Spiritual Living Paradise

• Passages • Skyway House • Youth for Change

Center for Spiritual Living Paradise integrated with CSL Chico on Sunday, October 9 during a joint service in Chico.

The integration was exciting and felt like an expansion of our Paradise Center rather than any kind of closure. CSL Chico is well established with many opportunities for outreach and community services.

The day before, a ceremony was held at the long-time Paradise location, 789 Bille Road, to honor, acknowledge, and give thanks to the sacred land that was home to our Center for over seven decades. The property will be donated to Habitat for Humanity, in honor of our beloved Julie Cooke, who had served on Habitat’s board of directors. We are pleased that the land will continue to serve the beautiful Paradise Ridge community.

As part of our integration with CSL Chico, members voted to donate some of our financial assets to local organizations: • Boys & Girls Club of the North Valley • Butte County Veterans Stand Down • Paradise Arts, Theatre and Culture Hub (PATCH) • Paradise Friends of the Library • Paradise Garden Club

We are so humbled and grateful to be able to share our resources with our beloved community.

We invite you to join us at the CSL Chico center for Sunday services, or online via FaceBook Live and YouTube. More information can be found at https://www.cslchico.org.

The Paradise Center for Spiritual Living was chartered in 1958. Since that time, the Center has ardently carried out its pastoral mission, tending the flock with inspiration, celebration, and education. The Center has also nurtured the Ridge through practical programs - counselling, feeding, and fostering recovery. We feel the generous hand and heart of our long-time Board member Julie Cooke in the Center’s “pay-it-forward” farewell gift. The Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce gratefully accepts these funds in the spirit and practice of enhancing our beautiful mountain home. With deepest thanks, we wish CSL every success in its new home. ~Monica Nolan

CHIP and partners celebrate the start of construction for four single-family homes

en Woodruff, SVP Community Relations for Wells Fargo, presented CHIP with a $100,000 check and presented a $1 million dollar check to eight additional California organizations for their continued work in wildfire recovery and resilience.

Capping off the day, CHIP’s staff, Wells Fargo’s volunteers, and the various partners and community leaders raised the walls on one of the homes.

On September 29, Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) staff and Wells Fargo volunteers teamed up to start framing four single-family homes in Paradise. The volunteer day featured 14 Wells Fargo volunteers from area bank branches guided by CHIP’s construction staff. A brief ceremony was held, acknowledging all the partners and community leaders who have played a role in getting this project up and running. Kar-

sweat equity is a critical component in making these homes affordable. The program is primarily funded through USDA Rural Development, and this particular project has received additional funding from Golden Valley Bank Foundation, North Valley Community Foundation / Butte Strong Fund, Paradise Rotary Foundation, and Wells Fargo.

Seana O’Shaughnessy, the President/ CEO for CHIP, says “Camp Fire recovery and bringing back housing to Paradise and Magalia has been a huge priority for us. We are thrilled to finally see the fruits of our labor with units coming on-

line.” For CHIP, there are many things to celebrate, including its upcoming 50th anniversary in 2023. CHIP continues to invest in affordable housing solutions in Paradise and the surrounding area. It has already completed the reconstruction of its 36-unit apartment community, Paradise Community Village. The doors re-opened to residents in September 2021. CHIP is currently piloting an innovative single-family rental program in Paradise and has three multi-family rental communities within the Camp Fire burn scar in pre-development.

Many Chambers, like other sectors of the economy, are experiencing cost-cutting measures as a reaction to reduced public funding streams. In absence of sufficient revenue, many Chambers have turned to industry/private sector funding, and a focus on investment, not donations!

As small rural communities move forward, you’ll see significant activity in “small town” parades, events, and activities - rural American values. In addition, you’ll witness a resurgence in funding that accompanies any growing community that touts those values.

New affordable “condo” housing option coming to the Ridge Ridge Affordable Homes has announced that they will begin development on a new, affordable “condo” housing option unique to the Ridge.

“There is no housing product on the market at a price point needed for low-income buyers, that will allow them to qualify for both the Town’s down payment assistance program (DPA) and also the underlying mortgage” says Kelly Konzelman, CEO of Ridge Affordable Homes. “We see the need to change that.”

The Town of Paradise has recently increased its down payment assistance program up to $100,000 in the form of a deferred loan. This assistance can be layered with other programs, such as Cal HFA. “The 10% Cal HFA assistance becomes a forgivable grant after five years. That’s free money” says Konzelman.

“Recent hyperinflation and dramatic increases in interest rates have made home ownership impossible for most low and moderate-income families. Our solution is a 1,000 SF, craftsman-style side-by-side, two-bedroom, two-bath ‘condo’ with an attached, private garage. The homes are

Priced from $288,000, a family of three making $52,000 a year could qualify for a zerodown, 7% FHA or Cal HFA mortgage and receive up to $128,000 in down payment assistance. This would result in a monthly payment, including interest, principal, insurance and taxes of around $1,500.

built on single family lots, and divisible into two separate saleable units” says Konzelman. “These homes share only one common wall, have a private 200 SF covered patio and a large, private backyard.”

“There are no other builders that we know of that are building for the 80% AMI market” says Konzelman. “The town makes the down payment for you. You just make the monthly payments and keep up the property. For the cost of renting an apartment, you now can own your own quality-built home. We will even consider taking your Paradise lot in trade” he concludes. In order to keep the down payment assistance loan from the Town of Paradise in deferment, the homeowner must live in the home as their primary residence. The deferred loan is due at the end of 30 years, if the home is no longer owner-occupied or when the home is sold. The Town does not add any resale restrictions and does allow the first mortgage to be refinanced for a lower interest rate without triggering repayment.

Barney O’Rourke’s is open for Barney burgers and more!

By Allison Denofrio Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce Board Director Owner Green Garden Art Barney’s is OPEN!!! Just a few days after the four-year anniversary of the Camp Fire, Barney O’Rourke’s re-opened its doors for the third time in their 40 year history and served their famous burgers to a town full of hungry patrons.

Every table was filled with friends hugging, chatting and reminiscing as they all chowed down on juicy burgers and toasted the opening with a cold beer.

Patty Van Bibber, the matriarch owner, came out from the kitchen for a quick moment to get everyone’s attention with a finger whistle just to thank her husband, Monty, for putting up with her the past four years! The whole place broke out into applause to show Patty their

L to R Pam and Bill Hartley along with Kimball Shirey, were among the first customers to grab an iconic Barney Burger during the first day of Barney’s soft opening.

thanks and appreciation for bringing back the beloved restaurant.

The giant U shaped bar had many of the “locals” bellied up, sending waves, smiles and huge congratulations, and a handshake for Monty as he sat at his spot taking in the scene and enjoying a beer in his koozie.

Football fans will be entertained with three giant television screens and outside seating provides a safe area for the wee ones to run around. Plans for outdoor games like corn hole are waiting

on the sidelines.

The next generation of Barney O’Rourke’s is growing, with some familiar faces behind the counter and a lot of new ones too. Barney’s is back with a full menu offering many town favorites from years gone by so call your friends, gather the family and head over to Barney O’Rourke’s and start making your own new memories. You’ll find them at their same location 740 Elliott Rd, Paradise, near the corner of Skyway and Elliott.

Additionally, the plan will include classes to teach how to grow vegetables that will provide fresh and healthful food for your families.

There really is something “loveable” about Paradise. We are attracting wonderful people, like Martha and Sergio Rosales, from outside our region who have moved here to share their talent and commitment by opening an innovative new business.

In December of 2020, Martha and Sergio, along with their first child, Sophia, took a road trip from their home in San Diego. They knew about the Camp Fire and had visited Chico in the past, so they planned to drive up to the Ridge and see how Paradise was doing. While looking around, “something clicked” and they both felt the desire to help.

Events started coming together.

They had their second child, Matteo, in January of 2021, bought a lot in Old Magalia, found a great deal on a manufactured home and were moved in by June. Martha got a job in

It turned out to be more broken than anticipated. Then in July 2022, Martha and Sergio signed the lease for the restaurant space 6506 Skyway across from the Vets’ Hall, where they have opened their family runauthentic Mexican restaurant, Dulce Cocina, Spanish for to “sweet kitchen”. Martha says that Paradise is neither the country nor the city—it’s right in the middle and the perfect place to dish up a “foodie lovers” meal.

The Rosales family brought their San Diego Mexican style recipes to Paradise. The restaurant’s specialties are straight from their own family cookbooks and childhood memories. Martha’s in-laws traveled from San Diego to share tricks and tips for running a restaurant. Martha is most proud to serve her beloved grandma’s traditional recipe for Enchiladas Poblanos.

The California Association of Recreation and Al McGreehan Park Districts (CARPD) recognized Paradise Recreation and Parks Dept. (PRPD) board chair Al McGreehan with the 2022 Jim Meredith Award of Excellence. CARPD presented McGreehan with the award at its annual conference in Lake Tahoe on May 2022.

Chairperson McGreehan was awarded this distinction due to his ongoing efforts to go above and beyond the ordinary and expected in the areas of parks and recreation and his almost 30 years with PRPD. McGreehan served over 35 years in planning and community development in Plumas County and the Town of Paradise. Dan Efseaff, PRPD District Manager said, “Al brings a keen professional understanding of local government and planning. He has provided steady leadership and support after the Camp Fire to the District and community in a planning and recovery role.”

McGreehan joined the board in 1993 and has served continuously in leadership roles. He served in numerous board rules multiple times and is the District’s current chair. Efseaff added “On a personal note, I appreciate his clear-eyed judgment, historical context, scrutiny of details and commitment to providing a voice for community members. It is important to honor and acknowledge someone that has provided outstanding service and contribution to our community for over 29 years!”

McGreehan supports and enjoys recreational activities such as softball, running, golf and others. He is an advocate of the annual ice rink and donates to it every year, along with the swim scholarships. McGreehan also lends his time and experience to the Butte LAFCO and CARPD boards.

Johnny Appleseed Days

For two days each October, the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce hosts California’s oldest harvest festival, Johnny Appleseed Days.

Each attraction was a rousing success, and sure to become integral features of the Johnny Appleseed tradition.

A HUGE thanks to the sponsors, volunteers and community partners who make Johnny possible year after year! For 134 years, attendees have enjoyed hometown entertainment, living history, handicrafts, info and products from 111 vendors, and 1034 slices of apple pie!

Paradise Lutheran Church (PLC)

PLC celebrates 75 years serving the Ridge Paradise Lutheran Church (PLC), founded in 1947, celebrated 75 years of service with a worship service. Retired Pastor Rod Platte returned to preside and was assisted by the three Barnard brothers, Tristan, Bryce, and Hunter, who served as acolytes during their childhood. Fifty-plus people attended the service and reception that followed. Guests enjoyed appetizers and celebratory beverages, while looking through photographs from years past.

PLC was founded by a predecessor Lutheran body, the “Augustana Synod” to serve Lutherans in the area. The present site is the original site dedicated in 1947. PLC has provided facilities for the Alzheimer’s

organization (housing and admin), SHOR (Sojourners House on the Ridge), homeless housing and services, and a free weekly medical clinic staffed by volunteers. PLC distinguished itself in 2003 by initiating the first free Ridge community meal program.

PLC’s church, fellowship hall and office survived the Camp Fire. Thanks to a grant paying for a generator and insurance covering a filtered water system, PLC was among the first to offer Sunday services and to restart the Free Lunch program. The church also provided much-needed single-room residences in the office complex. The parsonage across the street from the church was destroyed and is now the construction site for four 2-bedroom 2-bath units available in the Spring.

PLC welcomes ALL at Sunday service 10:15 a.m. The fellowship hall is also home to the Ridge Presbyterian Church for its Sunday services.

The Chamber welcomes Paradise Garden Club

Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) and partners including American Red Cross, Fannie Mae, North Valley Community Foundation, and Tri Counties Bank, cut the ribbon to celebrate the completion of a home in Paradise, marking the start of a new rental program for Paradise residents.

Have you ever wondered how all the daffodils that pop up in the spring got there? The Paradise Garden Club (PGC) is the beautification culprit. They have planted more than 160,000 bulbs since 2008. Their sign of rebirth and new beginnings certainly rang true the spring of 2019 as bright yellow and white daffodils heroically “rose through the ashes.”

The club started in 1950. Their main purpose “to devote activities and funds to promote community interest in beautiful gardens, flower arrangements, landscaping, cultivation of horticulture and beautification of the community.” PGC supports this mission by staging an Annual Garden Tour of local residential gardens in the spring.

Meeting on the 2nd Monday of the month, 1:00 p.m. at Terry Ashe Recreation Center. paradisegardenclub.org

We are proud to continue on and serving our Ridge residents with quality service
