Alert! Local vacant land property scams

By Aubrey Pruis Association Executive/CEO, Paradise Association of Realtors

There is a growing Vacant Land Property Scam that is now affecting property owners in our community, particularly those who own vacant land or recently inherited property.

Scammers impersonate legitimate owners, putting both sellers and buyers at risk. These fraudsters are targeting properties that are unencumbered, or that recently had a name change on the title, often linked to heirs inheriting property.

It’s crucial to be aware of the

warning signs and take steps to protect yourself.

How the scam works:

Scammers use publicly available property records to identify vacant landowners and homeowners alike, focusing on those who have recently inherited land. They then impersonate the owner listed on the title and try to sell the property without the actual owner’s knowledge. Fraudsters typically forge documents, falsify identification, and push for quick, under-the-radar sales, causing unsuspecting buyers and real landowners to lose money and face legal complications.

Red Flags to watch For:

1. Unsolicited Offers: If you or your family has recently inherited a property, be cautious if you receive unexpected offers to buy or inquiries about selling. Scammers are specifically targeting properties with recent ownership changes.

2. Pressure for a Quick Sale:

Scammers often create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to act fast to avoid missing out on a deal. Be wary of anyone pushing for an immediate sale or asking to bypass standard procedures

TOP reports progress on eliminating two rebuilding barriers

By Ron Lassonde Mayor, Town of Paradise

The Town of Paradise (TOP) continues to take significant strides to enhance fire resilience through two critical paths: the Category 4 Tree Removal Program and an improved weed abatement process.

FEMA approves private property tree removal funding

After a four-year delay, the Category 4 (Private Property) Tree Removal Program has finally been approved for funding by FEMA. This program, which focuses on removing hazardous trees from private properties enrolled since 2022, is a crucial step in reducing fire hazards and removing barriers to rebuilding.

Over 500 properties are enrolled in the program, with about 10,000 trees marked for removal. Property owners who enrolled in the program will be contacted soon to begin the next steps for tree removal which will begin within the next two months, following site specific environmental review.

Weed abatement at 92% compliance

In parallel, the Town has made considerable advancements in its weed abatement efforts. This year,

the Town’s fire prevention team has been bolstered by three new FEMA grant-funded fire prevention staff members, significantly improving compliance with defensible space regulations. As a result, the Town has achieved a 92% compliance rate—the highest in the last three years. This improvement is due in part to increased community outreach, allowing the fire prevention team to visit properties and directly discuss defensible space requirements with residents.

Recognizing the challenges posed by non-compliant property owners, the Paradise Town Council has taken a proactive approach to streamline the weed abatement process. The Council prioritized addressing properties adjacent to standing homes, which not only present fire hazards but also affect the insurability of nearby homes. As a result, 396 priority properties with overgrown vegetation have been identified and declared a public nuisance.

The new abatement process allows the Town to address non-compliant properties more quickly, often within a few months—a significant improvement over previous years. This swift action is vital for reducing fire risk and ensuring that Paradise continues its recovery journey with enhanced safety and resilience.

Together, the Category 4 Tree Removal Program and enhanced weed abatement efforts represent vital components in the Town’s ongoing commitment to building a safer, more resilient future.

Lighted Truck Parade — a Ridge tradition not to be missed, featuring local businesses with their trucks all dressed up for the holidays.

By M.A. “Shell” Morley Office Manager, DADCO Construction

DADCO Construction is once again proud to host the much-loved annual Lighted Truck Parade on Saturday, December 7. This festive tradition brings the community together for a dazzling display of holiday spirit, with trucks adorned in lights parading up and down the Skyway.

Paradise High School (PHS) is a finalist among 15 schools competing for a multi-million-dollar prize! Currently holding first place, they need community support to secure the win. T-Mobile launched the Friday Night 5G Lights Competition, selecting PHS from over 1,700 entries nationwide based on need and potential impact.

The 2018 Camp Fire, California’s deadliest wildfire and the world’s most expensive natural disaster, claimed 85 lives and displaced countless families. Paradise High’s football team, leading the season before the fire, had to end their season. A year later, the team rallied for an unforgettable victory, bringing hundreds of community members, families, and students back home to witness resilience, strength, and pride at its best. Paradise High remains a PRIZE, continues on page A-15

From the Desk of the Chamber CEO: A Year in Review

ABy Monica Nolan CEO, Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce

t the end of another eventful year, it’s time to reflect on the Chamber’s progress in supporting our Paradise Ridge business community. The strength of our Chamber lies in its adaptability to the changing needs of our constituents. While we continue to deliver the visible staples of Chamber activity—ribbon cuttings, groundbreakings, open houses, and annual events—this year, we’ve focused on one critical area: the recovery of our population.

Through our “Welcome to the Ridge” campaign, supported by a comprehensive website and outreach initiatives, we are working diligently to attract new residents to our beautiful mountain home. This effort has been rewarded with Paradise’s status as the fastest-growing city in California for the third consecutive year. As Kate Anderson, the recently retired Town of Paradise Housing Program Manager pointed out, this achievement is due to the tireless work and collaboration of both public and private sectors.

To build on this momentum, we continuously

showcase the attributes of life on the Ridge. In our vibrant, pioneering community, residents forge new paths together. With room to grow in business, community, and sustainable development, this vision of strength and opportunity guides our work in attracting others to join and grow with us.

To expand our outreach, we have produced Spanish-language materials for prospective residents. This effort, in collaboration with 3CORE and the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, ensures inclusivity as we attract new residents to the Ridge.

Growing a community involves invaluable contributions from our directors, members, and residents. If you’re passionate about making a difference and want to help shape the future of Paradise Ridge, consider joining the Chamber. Your membership not only supports local businesses and fosters a thriving economy but also connects you to a network of like-minded individuals dedicated to the prosperity of our community. Click “Join Today” on Paradisechamber.com or call 530 877 9356. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant Ridge.

Paradise Police Department strengthens operations amid staffing challenges

By Eric R. Reinbold Chief of Police, Paradise Police Department

The Paradise Police Department (PPD) is committed to serving the community 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With a comprehensive range of services, Patrol, Dispatch, Records, and Animal Control, our department provides the safety and well-being of Paradise residents.

Currently, PPD is staffed with 18 officers, including the Chief of Police, two Lieutenants, four Sergeants, and eleven Officers. Pre-Camp Fire we had 21 officers. Our goal is to increase the staffing to 19, allowing us to cover patrol 24/7 with a Sergeant and two Officers per shift. This staffing level would also support the Investigations Unit and allow for the assignment of a School Resource Officer, along with consideration for a full-time traffic enforcement officer.

As Paradise continues to rebuild and grow, the Department is adapting to an increase in population and the associated challenges, including rising crime rates, traffic complaints, DUI arrests, and general calls for service. We continue to emphasize the department’s missioto remain flexible and responsive to the evolving needs of the community.

Prior to the Camp Fire, the department had 21 full-time Officers and one part-time detective. In the wake of the Camp Fire, the department faced staffing shortages and chal

lenges; for several years that made it necessary to contract Dispatch services to the Sheriff’s Office. However, on July 1, 2024, the department proudly reinstated its Dispatch Center, allowing local staff to handle 911 calls and dispatch Officers directly to calls.

Animal Control operations have also seen improvements with the recent addition of a supervisor and two animal control officers, and a part-time office assistant. The Animal Control Unit is now fully staffed and provides services seven days a week, including public access hours for shelter adoptions. The Paradise Animal Shelter Helpers (PASH) have played a crucial role in this effort, as they support ongoing construction to enhance the shelter facilities.

Our goal is to address quality of life issues that impact our residents. We are dedicated to making Paradise a safe place to live, work, and raise families, while ensuring everyone can enjoy all that our town and surrounding areas have to offer.

Reinbold’s journey from Paradise youth to Chief

Born and raised in Paradise, Reinbold attended St. Thomas More kindergarten through eighth grade, graduating from Paradise High School in 2001.

Growing up he worked several local jobs until January 2007, when in pursuit of a lifelong dream, he enrolled in the Butte Law Enforcement Academy. The following June he joined the Paradise Police Department.

Reinbold is married with three children, all of whom have attended Paradise schools. He remains dedicated to his community and emphasizes the department’s mission to remain flexible and responsive to the evolving needs of the community.

Construction begins on new affordable housing in Paradise

Construction has begun on a new affordable housing community off Cypress Lane in Paradise. This project, led by the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) and Mercy Housing, will span 19 acres and be completed in two phases.

To ensure safety and reduce fire hazards, the project team is following rigorous risk guidelines, removing fire-prone plants such as scotch broom from the area.

Phase One, currently underway, includes 70 multi-family apartment units and is slated for completion by late 2025.

Phase Two will add another 70 units designated for senior living, starting in 2025 pending funding approval, with expected completion in late 2026 or early 2027.

The Town of Paradise has committed $14 million in CDBG-DR MHP funding, and Wells Fargo provided an additional $100,000 grant to support the project. CHIP

CEO Seana O’Shaughnessy expressed gratitude for this vital partnership, while Town of Paradise Mayor Ron Lassonde shared his appreciation and optimism for the project’s progress.

The Paradise Sewer Project Team has made significant strides, with construction projected to begin as early as 2026–2027. The Progressive Design-Build team of Mountain Cascade and Carollo were selected to design and build the sewer. They have been moving forward on the Basis of Design over the past few months, including coordination meetings with Butte County and the City of Chico to discuss the Export Pipeline alignment and the connection to the Water Pollution Control Plant. As the sewer design continues, the Town is actively working with recovery partners and legislators to secure construction funding.

Weed abatement reaches milestone:

Congratulations to our residents, Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention Inspectors for reaching a major milestone.

This collective effort has transformed the region into a premier venue for full-scale ballet productions, attracting talent from around the globe, including esteemed artists from Scotland, England, and Bulgaria.

Northern California Ballet (NCB) in Paradise has been my home for 20 years. My greatest love is the art of dance, and I am incredibly passionate about sharing that love with the residents and youth of the Ridge as NCB’s new Artistic Director.

Trudi has worked tirelessly to provide a high-quality, authentic environment that reflects the passion and discipline of the dance world beyond our small community.

It is that magical time of the year when hearts are filled with holiday cheer, and the needs of others becomes a little more important than our own.

We work closely with families to understand and address what matters most.

In November we host our Thanksgiving tradition “Turkey Time”! During this event, we expect to serve more than 300 Club members and their families a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It is one of the favorite events for club members, their families and our staff.

Boys and Girls Clubs has four locations on the Ridge – Paradise Ridge Elementary School, Paradise Junior High, Paradise Teen Center off Skyway and Pine Ridge School.

Good fire on the Ridge? Here’s what you need to know

By Butte County Fire Safe Council

What is “Good Fire”?

A Prescribed fire, also known as “good fire,” is an important tool in forest management. Butte County’s forests depend on periodic, lowintensity fire to thrive. This fall, good fire in the form of broadcast burns and pile burning will be part of Butte County Fire Safe Council’s forest health resilience efforts in Magalia. Through spring 2025, you may see smoke from these healthy prescribed burns or pile burning on the Upper Ridge.

What is the difference between good fire smoke and wildfire smoke?

All fires produce smoke. Controlled burns, or “good fires” generate both less smoke and less harmful smoke compared to wildfires. Regardless, smoke-sensitive groups may want to monitor air quality conditions and local health warnings. While inconvenient, smoke is a sign that important restoration work is taking place, making our forests healthier and communities safer.

How are “good fire” burns conducted?

• Download the Watch Duty App

• Download the California Smoke Spotter App

• Visit the Butte County Air Quality Management District website: www.butteairquality.com

More information about the Butte County Fire Safe Council’s forest health work, visit www.buttefiresafe.net or call our office at (530) 877-0984.

Prescribed fire is only used after thorough preplanning and conducted by highly trained and experienced professionals. Experts will carefully monitor conditions to assess factors like weather patterns, air quality, and the state of the forest vegetation, prior to any burns. These conditions must align to safely conduct burns, resulting in limited burn windows. Notification will be provided as early as possible when burns are expected to occur. Partners supporting prescribed fire and pile burning projects include, but are not limited to, U.S. Forest Service, CAL FIRE, Butte County Fire Safe Council, and Butte County Air Quality Management District. We recommend the following resources to monitor prescribed burns, smoke conditions, and air quality.

The map will be distributed as a special holiday gift to the community during the Paradise Art Center/Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce Holiday Mixer on December 12 at the Paradise Art Center.

As the Ridge’s longstanding Visitors’ Bureau, the Chamber continues to champion tourism as a key economic driver. The new map encourages visitors to explore the area’s hidden gems and support local businesses.

such as utilizing a knowledgeable local Realtor®.

3. Requests for Unsecure Payments: Scammers typically request wire transfers or cash payments, avoiding the secure methods used by licensed professionals. Avoid any transactions that don’t involve a trusted title or escrow company.

4. Refusal to Provide Proper Documentation: Scammers may struggle to provide valid ownership documents, or they might provide falsified deeds. Always insist on verifying property ownership through official County records.

5. No In-Person Meetings: Fraudsters often refuse to meet in person or avoid providing valid identification. Make sure to verify the identity of the seller or agent, especially if they claim to be the owner on the title.

How to Protect Yourself:

- Verify Ownership: Always confirm property ownership by checking official County property records. If you’ve recently inherited property or had a name change on the title, be especially vigilant.

- Work with Trusted Professionals: Use licensed real estate agents and reputable title companies for any land transactions to ensure security and authenticity.

- Be Cautious of Online Listings: Scammers often create fake online listings. Always cross-check listings with official property records.

- Monitor Property Records: If you own vacant land or have recently inherited property, consider regularly monitoring public property records to

ensure no unauthorized activity occurs on your title.

What to Do If You Suspect Fraud:

If you suspect a vacant land scam or have been contacted by someone impersonating a property owner, report it immediately to your local authorities:

• Paradise Police Department, 5595 Black Olive Dr. (530) 872-6161

• The Butte County Assessor, 25 County Center Dr., Ste 100, Oroville,(530) 552-3800 assessorsoffice@buttecounty.net

• Butte County District Attorney, 25 County Center Drive, Ste 245, Oroville, (530)552-5500 DA@buttecounty.net

By staying informed and vigilant, you can help protect yourself and your community from these fraudulent schemes. Please share this information with your neighbors, family, and friends to ensure everyone is aware of the growing threat.

A few more steps to protect your title and yourself from identity thieves: Check your credit report. You can check your credit report for free through AnnualCreditReport.com. The nationwide credit bureaus offer free weekly credit reports online.

Monitor your bills. If you’ve noticed you are no longer receiving utility bills, this could be a sign of identity theft. If you’re concerned, contact your utility company directly.

Monthly billing cycle to return for PID customers

By Tonya Dale Cedar Creek Publishing

Prior to the Camp Fire, PID invoiced customers monthly; since the fire, bills have covered two months. With the February 2025 bill, PID will return to billing customers monthly.

Bills are mailed or sent electronically by the 20th of each month; as of February 2025 the invoice will cover only the previous month’s water service and use.

PID offers a variety of payment options— automatic payment with credit or debit card, one-time online payment, payment by phone or text (no fee), by standard mail or in person at PID’s office. For info, go to: https://www.pidwater. com/167/Payment-Options

Additionally, the district offers a Customer Assistance Program for ongoing help with payment of PID bills. The application is online and can be submitted electronically or in person. Go to: https:// www.pidwater.com/165/Get-PaymentAssistance

Newly revamped website improves access and paths to information

You can now find information more easily and complete a variety of tasks on-line, including pay bills, apply for job openings and sign up for the services. Download minutes of past board meetings, learn about future meetings, start service and see a see a water rate chart. A “virtual chatbot” will also answer questions online.

Go to PIDWater.com to see what’s happening at your water district.

It’s time to winterize your water system!

• Don’t risk frozen water pipes this winter—it’s time to get ready for the colder weather ahead with these tasks:

• Insulate outdoor water pipes and spigots.

• Ensure your backflow device has its provided “frost bag” in place. If yours is missing, call PID at 530-877-4971 to find out about getting a replacement.

• Sign up for Dropcountr to be alerted quickly in case of a broken pipe or water leak.

• Going away during a spell of really cold weather? Keep minimum heat on inside. Open bathroom and kitchen lower cabinets to expose pipes to warmer air. Let cold water drip from faucets served by exposed pipes. Close outside vents, crawl spaces and doors so cold doesn’t seep inside and freeze water pipes.

Chamber pays Tribute to Jody Jones

Monica Nolan CEO, Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce

At her packed memorial service, I gained deeper insight into Jody Jones, a woman I already held in high regard for her unwavering leadership during an extraordinary time in our community’s history. How fortunate we were to have Jody at the helm as Mayor of Paradise during the Camp Fire and throughout its ongoing aftermath.

Jody championed Chamber initiatives with support and enthusiasm and embraced the Chamber as a partner during the crucial disaster recovery period. I frequently bumped into her in local shops and restaurants, as she made it a point to shop local, a habit that reflected her deep connection to our town.

On the surface, her esteemed education, professional achievements, and extensive resume made her an ideal fit to serve as Mayor during such unprecedented devastation. But what truly resonated at her memorial—and with anyone who knew Jody—was her exceptional strength and steadfast commitment. It was clear that only someone with tremendous heart and unwavering resolve could have steered our community through such tumultuous times.

I last saw Jody at a Town Council meeting, where she stood to deliver a no-nonsense message about the importance of individual accountability in hazard abatement, once again demonstrating her passion for Paradise and its future through direct action.

A particular memory stands out: A couple of years ago, as the last of some 200 guests had departed from the Chamber’s Annual Dinner, Chamber staff and volunteers were tasked to clean up the Vets Hall. Jody, the Mayor of Paradise and an honored guest at the dinner, picked up a broom

and was among the last to leave after we got the hall all spiffy.

In a “grab a broom” community like ours, she wasn’t the only self-deployed sweeper that night, but the gesture touched me deeply—because she was recovering from illness at the time. Service was simply woven into the fabric of who she was.

Her ethos of grace, service and pastoral care is aptly summed up in 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

In closing, and on behalf of the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce, I offer my respect, admiration, and sorrow for the loss of this remarkable leader and crusading spirit. My deepest condolences to all of us, but most of all to our friend Ron Jones, whose obvious pride in his wife’s accomplishments and delight in her presence is an inspiration to spouses everywhere.

Jody Jones – In her own words

“Paradise was not the buildings that were here, it’s the people. So I don’t want to lose my community, my friends. It was a special unique community and we can get that back and that’s what Paradise is all about.”

January 18, 2019, San Jose Mercury News

“We’re building a resilient town that the people here care a lot about. It’s a ton of work. It’s not going to happen overnight. But considering it’s only been five years and we had a pandemic in the middle of that, what we’ve accomplished is a miracle.”

NPR, Nov 8, 2023

Paradise mourns the loss of Jody Jones, a cherished friend to many and a dedicated public servant to all. Jody passed unexpectedly on October 5, 2024. Her impact on the community is a legacy that will continue to inspire and benefit Paradise for generations to come.

Founded by Meagann Buzzard, who grew up in Paradise, the boutique offers more than just beautiful home decor—it’s a testament to the strength and hope driving the community’s rebuilding after the Camp Fire in 2018.

Determined to help the Ridge thrive, Meagann envisioned creating something meaningful for her hometown.

The boutique has quickly become a beloved destination for anyone looking to brighten their space or find the perfect gift. Meagann’s hand-poured candles, with scents like Pumpkin Spice and Apple Bourbon, are especially popular, adding a cozy, comforting atmosphere to any home. Eastern Sequoia Home also offers custom-designed ornaments and engraved wood boards, making it the ideal spot for holiday gifting or celebrating special milestones.

Whether you’re picking up a personalized ornament or a thoughtful gift, you’re supporting the growth and rebirth of a town that continues to rise from the ashes.

Meagann’s dedication to both her craft and her community has made Eastern Sequoia Home a cornerstone in Paradise, where rebuilding is focused not just on the past, but on a bright, thriving future.”

EJohnny Appleseed dAys 2024

very October, the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce proudly presents Johnny Appleseed Days, California’s oldest harvest festival. The 2024 festival was a huge success, drawing residents and visitors alike to experience the warmth and hospitality of our beautiful mountain community. Attendees eagerly lined up for the Save Mart Pie Pavilion and browsed through a wide variety of craft and vendor booths.

Johnny Appleseed Days is a true labor of love for the Ridge, made possible by the dedication of sponsors, local businesses, community groups, and countless volunteers who come together to honor “Johnny” year after year. As in years past, festival visitors enjoyed live entertainment, rich history, handmade crafts, and more than a thousand slices of delicious apple pie—alongside the offerings of 111 unique vendors.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Johnny Appleseed Days 2024 a memorable celebration!

JOHNNY APPLESEED DAYS 2024 THANKS ITS GENEROUS SPONSORS:

Preserving a 103-year tradition of “Apples from Paradise,” 2024 “Golden Delicious” sponsor Noble Orchards offered apples by the bag as well as samples of their delicious varieties.

A sweet celebration! Thanks to generous sponsorship from Paradise Save Mart, Johnny Appleseed Days offers more than 1,000 slices of delicious apple pie to the community. If you hurry, you can still grab your pie at Save Mart!

It takes a village to serve hundreds of slices of apple pie to the community. Pictured are PRPD Director Al McGreehan, PRCoC Vice President Warren Bullock, Mayor Ron Lassonde, and 2024 Miss Butte County Thalia Valdez.
