Ridge businesses meet yet another challenge
By Rick Dean
Special to the Chamber
M
ost Paradise businesses have had a rough 20 months since the Camp Fire devastated the Ridge on Nov. 8, 2018. In addition to losing a large portion of the robust customer base of about 40,000 Ridge residents, businesses have coped with water issues, a whole new clientele and business climate following the fire. Then COVID-19 hit, creating another huge challenge. Post-Camp Fire, Paradise has a few retail stores that have reopened in town, old standbys like Hudson’s Appliance Center, Thomas Ace Hardware, Birkenstocks, Jeannie’s, Woodworth’s Jewelers, Noble Orchards, Paradise Bikes, Fins, Fur & Feather Sports, Secrets of Paradise, Treasures from Paradise, Bobbi’s Boutique and Paradise Sports Cards & Memorabilia. While some businesses were directly affected by the virus and are yet to open, Paradise Sports Cards & Memorabilia is just now preparing for its grand opening; COVID-19 hasn’t hurt business. The Skyway Antique Mall reopened July 1. The 10,000 square foot mall houses 11 dealers with antiques, collectibles and vintage merchandise and is open seven days a week. Visit the Mall at their old location at 6118 Skyway. Thomas Ace Hardware experienced an increase in customers. Although people were confined to their homes due to the virus, as an essential business, Thomas Ace was able to serve those customers who ventured out for neces-

There was one particular product that was very popular. “Potting soil went through the roof,” Petersen said. But now, things are getting closer to pre-COVID-19 status relating to inventory. Petersen said the store added employees, as they normally would during this time of year, but the virus
complicated that process. Currently the store has up to 30 employees. Other businesses that flourished post-fire were food trucks serving the needs of the cleanup crews. Meeho’s

While the residential aspects of our rebuild efforts are clearly in full swing, the business community and efforts
COVID-19 has not slowed down the rebuild By Rick Dean Special to the Chamber
D
The Town opened the Building Resiliency Center (BRC) in early 2020 to centralize the building process for residents. And it is churning out permits as quickly as it can. In addition to the hundreds of building permits issued, many permits are in the plan check process. It is those numbers that excite Mayor Greg Bolin about where the Town is in its rebuild. “I remember comments being made, following the fire, that it will be five years before we can start rebuilding again,” he said. “But we are so far ahead of where I thought we would be at this point.” Bolin is not just the mayor of the Town— he helps run Trilogy Construction. He said

Business Briefs are free to members of the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce, providing information to Ridge residents and visibility to Ridge businesses.

espite the outbreak of COVID-19, the Town’s recovery from the Camp Fire appears to be staying on track. The numbers prove it. In the 15 months since issuance of the first application for a building permit, there have been more than a thousand permit applications submitted to the Town of Paradise. The Town has seen more than 200 homes rebuilt since that devastating fire. The rebuilding effort has brought 54 Chamber member construction companies to the Ridge—of which 18 are local companies. The Town lost about 14,000 buildings in the fire on Nov. 8, 2018 that killed 85 people. On June 16, Pacific Gas and Electric pled guilty to 85 counts of involuntary manslaughter.
RECOVERY, continues on page 11
Rebuilding in Paradise has continued despite the Covid-19 emergency. The biggest impact it has had on rebuilding has been on supply chains. Pictured is a house in lower Paradise being built for Morgan McBride and her fiancé, Lance Knifong. the coronavirus shut down hasn’t slowed the Town’s construction business. He said the subcontractors have been great in what they’ve done to lessen the potential for the virus spread. They don’t schedule subcontractors at the sites at the same time. The building experience during COVID-19 shows that the appointment process adopted by the Town at the Building Resiliency Center (BRC) works very well. And he thinks they’re going to keep it. Before the appointment process, Bolin said you could have been at the BRC for a couple of hours before even getting to start your process.
Now, with the appointment scheduling, builders walk in the door, start the processing and once it’s done they leave. This leads to increased productivity because they are not spending two hours waiting for help—now they can be out in the field with their customers and employees. Chris Kelly of Paradise Homes Inc. said COVID-19 has impacted the supply of materials and not so much the ability to build in town. That seems to be a common theme for businesses during the COVID-19 shut-

Neither fire nor plague will shut us down By Monica Nolan Executive Director, Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce
As was true after the Camp Fire, the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce remained continuously operational during the COVID crisis, with no break in service due to the shelterin-place orders. Neither fire nor plague have shut us down— Monica Nolan we will not stop working for you. The Paradise Ridge Chamber Commerce supports all local business, and especially in times of crisis, has provided visibility and resources to keep the Ridge in business.

Bandwidth issues, particularly on the Upper Ridge

programs and resources to support business resiliency. Our relationships with community partners have expanded and deepened during recent episodes of extreme challenge. Our partnerships, research, and resources provide historical economic perspective, informing our service models for the post-COVID economy.

FROM THE RIDGE REPRESENTATIVES
Ridge residents carry within them an unwavering spirit of resiliency By Greg Bolin Mayor, Town of Paradise
T
his year, COVID-19 presents an unexpected challenge for the world, Paradise included. But we have weathered bigger storms—and come out stronger for them. This one will be no different. The Camp Fire clearly demonstrated how Greg Bolin tight-knit a community we truly are; we will come through this current season closer than ever. As always, the main priority of the Town Council is the safety and well being of Paradise, and we’ll continue to navigate the pandemic with our residents as the top priority. Meanwhile, we continue to rebuild the Ridge! Our new normal might look a little more socially-distanced, but we are moving forward in all aspects of the process in a safe and healthy way. At the time this piece was written, the Building Resilience Center (BRC), is open by appointment only, and Town Hall is currently closed to the public. It’s essential we continue to foster community engagement and access to the latest rebuilding information, so we’ve prioritized live-streaming and virtual platforms for Community Information
Meetings. You can rest assured Town Council has implemented proper guidelines at every step, keeping a steady hand and eye to the future.
What a future to celebrate: milestones include the rebuilding of commercial buildings, significant grants have been awarded to rebuild our schools, and

The Board of Supervisors recently directed staff to prepare an ordinance enhancing County weed abatement regulations. I expect the ordinance will be presented for adoption later this year.

SCORE provides updates on assistance programs, PPP loans, grants and reopening plans to Ridge businesses By Jackie McClain Greater Chico Area chapter of SCORE
C
ounselors from the Greater Chico Area chapter of SCORE worked with a large number of both existing and new clients after the shelter in place mandate. Most clients experienced a high level of anxiety due to the uncertain future for their business. While the duration of the business closures and the full impact remain unknown, SCORE counselors have promptly provided information about available assistance programs and offered help in completing applications. Counselors continue to provide these services and updates
as new information emerges due to changes in processes and procedures, and to assist with the development of documentation needed to convert PPP loans to grants. The loosening of COVID-19 restrictions initiated assistance with the reopening process. Many business owners are overwhelmed with physical distancing and sanitation requirements. Nonetheless, they are encouraged to think beyond opening the doors and to making a plan for long term business health. In addition, information about the steps owners should take prior to and throughout the reopening process, facilitates assistance in performing the necessary financial and staffing
analyses. Counselors may also assist with a variety of adjustments owners can use to establish their new “business normal.” Moving forward with the phased reopening process leads to a complex list of issues. SCORE counselors are continually working to stay ahead of new developments including changes in governmental regulations, legislative actions and legal developments. SCORE’s goal is to continue to provide the most current and accurate information to clients. To request free assistance, visit SCORE.org and click “Find A Mentor.” A counselor will contact you as soon as possible.

n the midst of a global pandemic, the Town of Paradise continues to make great progress on recovery after the Camp Fire. Rebuilding our Town is our top priority – we want our residents to come home, our businesses to open, and our community to be together again, even if we’re standing 6 feet apart. Since the Camp Fire, over 1,000 permit applications have been submitted, over 850 permits have been issued, and 190 homes have been completed. We know we still have a long way to go, but those numbers are very encouraging and represent a pace of rebuilding far faster than we expected. Our Building Resiliency Center (BRC) remains open, by appointment, to serve our residents who are rebuilding. In order to keep the public and our staff safe, we have instituted some guidelines to minimize potential exposure to
The Town of Paradise continues to focus on removing barriers to rebuilding, including weed abatement on lots in Town, removing hazard trees, and helping our residents in RVs move toward a permanent housing solution.

The BRC houses the Town’s building department, a one-stop shop to apply for permits and all information needed to rebuild in Paradise and Butte County.

FROM THE TOWN begin with assessments starting mid-June and tree felling to begin in mid-July. We expect the State program to take about 9 months to remove any hazardous tree that could fall on a public or private road. This effort will remove most hazardous trees in Town and make rebuilding safer. 3.
RVs: After December 31, 2020, residents can only live in an RV on property if they have an active building permit. Right now, the Town is contacting those residents who have temporary permits to live in their RVs to remind them of this deadline. We are also sending notices to properties with un-permitted RVs to notify them that they cannot occupy the property without a permit. This effort is important to ensure all our residents have a safe, permanent housing solution as we move through recovery and to prevent out of town squatters from moving onto survivors’ properties illegally.
Our business community has been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, on the heels of the Camp Fire, making economic recovery a top priority. The Town is committed to helping as much as possible, and to achieve this, we are opening an Office of Economic Development to provide a direct contact for businesses. Colette Curtis, Assistant to the Town Manager is our staff contact for any business need – a business looking to rebuild, reopen, or open its doors for the first time in Paradise. Colette can be reached at (530) 872-6291 x112 or ccurtis@townofparadise.com. One of our first initiatives to support our businesses is to improve our online information with a new website. We’ll share important demographic information, business license information and assistance, a directory of businesses, financial resources and available property listings. Look for our new website to go live by the end of 2020.

PRPD maintains tradition hosting a virtual Fishing Derby and more By Kristi Sweeney Assistant District Manager, Paradise Recreation and Park District
B
efore the COVID-19 restrictions made us push pause, the staff at the Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD) was busy lining up a suite of new and regular events, programs and activities. Like everyone, we have made adjustments to our regular routines and are pushing forward to provide parks, programs and activities that bring joy and some normalcy to our community even during a pandemic. We all know how important outdoor spaces and activities have been for our collective health and we’ve worked on getting those activities out there. Happening now: The District hosted a photo fishing derby at Paradise Lake, maintaining the decades-long tradition of Kids’ Fishing Day while also allowing for safe physical distancing. See the PRPD website for photos.
Alana Mata enjoys an afternoon kayaking on beautiful Paradise Lake. Coming this summer: A partnership with the Forebay Aquatic Center will provide free kayak rentals for children aged 6-17 three days each week at Paradise Lake. .
Our future is grounded in our past: As the District’s boundaries are essentially the same footprint as the Camp Fire, we are constantly aware of the challenges and trauma the children, adults, and local businesses have endured over the last two years. Our Healing Through Nature program is expanding to better serve the physical, mental and emotional health of our community. The swimming programs and Kids Fishing Day at Paradise Lake are programs and events that generations of Ridge residents have enjoyed and shared. Reuniting current and former residents and businesses with their community will provide that important connection to the past while ensuring the legacy lives on for future generations, inspiring resiliency, recovery and healing, hope and community spirit. These events and programs should also serve as a draw for people outside of the region who seek destination recreation opportunities but may not otherwise consider the Ridge, thereby increasing the overall economic vitality of our community and local businesses.

NVCF launched COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund for Butte County County native, asked NVCF to use $50,000 from his Aaron Rodgers NorCal Recovery Fund for grants to help children. Four charitable funds opened by citizens for specific uses resulted in more than $100,000 for vulnerable populations.

he last thing Butte County needed was another calamity, but the COVID-19 pandemic was anything but discriminatory. On the heels of the Oroville spillway disaster and the devastating Camp Fire, the turmoil wrought by COVID-19 stretched a safety net in Butte County that was already full of holes. The North Valley Community Foundation is experienced in disaster relief – unfortunately and fortunately. We mobilized again for this pandemic. We knew kindhearted people and businesses would want to help, and we knew they trusted us to get their donations into the right hands. Even before Gov. Gavin Newsom issued stay-at-home orders, we opened our Coronavirus (COVID-19) Rapid Response Fund so people could make donations. We seeded the effort with $250,000 from our operating fund, which is separate from donations to funds like the Camp Fire Relief Fund. The first grant from the fund was $250,000 to the Butte County Public Health Department. We reached out to the department to ask how we could help. The department’s director said the greatest need was a lab testing machine. The department had to send testing specimens to labs in Sacramento or the Bay Area to get results. The results took several days to

return. That is a problem if there is a suspected outbreak, particularly at a hospital, nursing home, jail or other facility where people are in close quarters. We issued a $250,000 grant to the department for the lab equipment and other needs. The county can now perform up to 80 tests per day and results come back in a matter of hours rather than days. Such testing capabilities are rare among rural counties in the state. Soon the donations poured into our Rapid Response Fund, and the grants went
out. Over the next three months, we issued more than 80 grants. Most were focused on food and personal protective equipment, most frequently to nonprofits and public agencies that work with vulnerable populations. We got help with funding, too. The Feather River Health Foundation joined us in early May and matched our funding to stretch the donated dollars. Our Butte Strong Fund issued grants to organizations specifically helping Camp Fire survivors. NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a Butte
Two of the most far-reaching relief efforts took a tremendous amount of planning. We coordinated an effort to produce reusable face shields for all health care workers in Butte, Glenn, Tehama and Colusa counties. NVCF and Feather River Health Foundation paid for the materials and labor for California State University, Chico and Idea Fab Labs to make 20,000 shields, which were then distributed by county public health departments. That was followed by the purchase of 33,500 face masks for Butte County businesses to hand out to shoppers to help keep customers and workers safe.
Altogether, more than $1.1 million was deployed in a mere three months for Coronavirus relief. NVCF funds provided meals for thousands of children through the Boys & Girls Clubs dinner pickup service. As the donations continue to come in, the grants continue to go out. To see a full list of grants made, learn more about the fund, or to donate, go to https://www.nvcf.org/coronavirus-covid-19-rapid-response.

ay of this year marked ParaFor them, dise’s first commercial rebuild after the November 8, 2018 Camp Fire. The completion and opening was celebrated by owners Jesse and Tammy Jaynes, Ridge residents for over 40 years. Although their ranch and home were spared, the fire destroyed their business, which had been operating in Paradise since 2000. High Angle Driveline provides services in the field of industrial and commercial machinery. They Jesse and Tammy Jaynes, build custom parts for 4x4 owners
REBUILD, from page 1 down. “Other than a few supply delays, COVID-19 hasn’t really affected us.” Steven Smith of Ridge Builders said “we’re still working seven days a week.” Smith says they will finish four new homes between June 22 and July 4. Smith added that things seem to be a little slower at the moment, but he expects there will be an uptick in the future. “Once people get their PG&E settlement figured out and they have a good handle on what they’re getting,” Smith said, “Once they get some certainty, it’ll pick up.” He also said that extreme weather has had more of an impact on building in Paradise than COVID-19. He said a major concrete pouring he had slated for this week has been pushed to July.
rebuilding was more a question of “where” than “if.” They opened a temporary shop in Chico and briefly considered their ranch in Magalia, but ultimately decided to rebuild on the original lot. “It felt like we reclaimed what was taken,” Jesse said. In weighing options for rebuilding, the Jaynes’ ultimately opted for a customdesigned steel building. It was not only cost-effective but afforded them space
While the Town hasn’t yet begun to focus on commercial rebuilding, Paradise Unified School District has started to upgrade its educational facilities. The new gym at the high school field is set to be completed in November 2020 and the softball field should be ready for high school action in March 2021. The district is also planning to break ground on a new administration building and the new Ridgeview High. Ridgeview will be located right across the street from PHS.

High Angle Driveline officially reopened for business in its original location at 7245 Clark Road, making it the first completed commercial rebuild in town. “If I’m just here for one day, that’s all worth it,” Jesse said. “It felt that good coming back.” and safety needed for their work. “It lines up pretty well for what we do,” Jesse explained. Tammy agreed: “Also, it’s not as flammable.” They obtained the permits in late fall of 2019 and broke ground in January 2020. “When we first started laying down the foundations,” Tammy remembered, “people would just come by and want to give us a hug. They might not have known what a driveline was, but they knew it was a business coming back up!” From that moment forward, the excitement grew. “Everybody was excited,” she laughed. “The residents were excited, the construction crew was excited. The more they got excited, the more we got excited. The longer it went on, the more exciting it was!” Sawmill Peak, calm against a clear blue skyline, captivates views from the front door.

& Feather Sports beckon visitors to rejoin their hobbies and pastimes. This little corner of town, home to High Angle Driveline, brings life and business back to the intersection of Clark and Skyway. The Jaynes are grateful that they can now offer help to fellow residents. “My goal is to help them out as best I can as quickly as I can,” Jesse said. “We can offer somebody a driveline for their Ford truck if they need to get to work. They won’t have to go to Sacramento—they can get it locally.” Considering a build on the Ridge? The Jaynes’ best advice is to come with a ready spirit of support. “Be willing to help the community rebuild by frequenting those businesses that do open and be willing to be extra neighborly.” This, said Tammy, is what helped Paradise get back on its feet. “We saw neighbors helping neighbors and people coming together to lend a hand. I would love to see that stay.”

Those businesses that remain, anticipate a return, or want to explore opportunities in a developing rural north state community, are actively represented as part of our reinvestment into the Ridge economic ecosystem branding itself as “open for business during remodeling.” PRCoC embraces a coalition approach, working closely with public entities such as the Town of Paradise, County of Butte, Paradise Irrigation District, and the Paradise Recreation and Park District on issues that positively impact our business community.

Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive Theatre On the Ridge (TOTR) appreciates your continued support and understanding after yet another storm while we continue to recover from the Camp Fire. The 2020 season is in flux; at press time, The Shoemaker’s Daughters scheduled for June will be moved to September to replace The Wild Women of Winedale (rescheduled for the 2021 season). The summer production of Airness has been canceled, and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder scheduled for November will be replaced. Currently in the works is another original Radioland production by Jerry Miller, starring your favorite TOTR performers. Look for Paradise’s favorite TV variety show with P-Town Tonight! featuring your host Bobby LaButte and his cantankerous sidekick, Johnny Appleweed, filmed in front of a LIVE audience November 5 - 22. Until TOTR can resume live performances, it is exploring other ways of providing entertainment virtually. Stay tuned on totr.org and on social media.

Joy Lyn’s Candies plans a fall opening in new location A Paradise tradition since 1969, Joy Lyn’s Candies offered candy made in a tiny home kitchen on Bille Road. Brisk business fostered expansion to the carport and a small retail store. In 2000, Pam and Bill Hartley bought the business and once again expanded. In October of 2018, Pam and Bill sold the business to their son and daughter-in-law, Glenn and Jody Hartley. On Nov. 8, 2018, Joy Lyn’s Candies was destroyed in the Camp Fire. Although devastated at the loss, the Hartleys committed to staying in Paradise and reviving the well-loved business. They purchased a building on the corner of Pearson and Black Olive, transform-
ing it into a little factory and retail store with state-of-the-art equipment. Glenn and Jody will feature Joy Lyn’s award-winning Beer Brittle products made with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and will offer popular confections. The planned opening date is October 1, 2020.

Adventist Health Rapid Care now on the Ridge 7 days a week By Maureen M. Wisener Marketing Account Manager Adventist Health | Northern California Region
A
dventist Health’s Rapid Care offers immediate medical care for those urgent medical concerns, such as allergic reactions, asthma, bronchitis or sore throats, cold and flu symptoms, infections, fevers, minor cuts or burns, diarrhea, minor traumas and much more including COVID-19 screening. Rapid Care is open weekends, to ensure that medical care is available on the Ridge seven days a week.
In 2018, when Adventist Health reopened clinics to serve Butte County just a few short weeks following the Camp Fire, a key aspect of its goal was to ensure that the services provided would meet the needs of the community. What that community would look like, and how many people would be served, was totally unknown. Welcome to 2020, where Adventist Health is continuing to provide important health services to meet the ever-changing needs of the Ridge community, no matter what challenges they have had to face. From power shutoffs to COVID-19 quarantine orders, nothing has stopped the staff
and providers at Adventist Health clinics in Butte and Tehama Counties from their mission to serve this community, inspiring health, wholeness and hope. In the past 18 months, new services have been implemented to ensure that health care options continue to be available for community residents, while ensuring safe access points. Virtual Visits offer an office visit with a provider from the comfort and safety of your own home. This option increases access to care while decreasing risks, allowing individuals to seek health care expertise through a phone, tablet or computer video interaction. Not all visits can be accomplished with a Virtual Visit, but this option is there for those that meet the specified criteria.
Adventist Health implemented screening procedures for all patients and staff to keep care environments safe and open for service during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Enhancements to the MyAdventistHealth patient portal now expand the breadth of services offered to patients, including the opportunity to view their medical history, send secure messaging to their provider, keep a list of prescribed medications and supplements, and identify upcoming appointment details as well as forms required to make the next office visit that much smoother.
Adventist Health’s Rapid Care team provides walk-in care for non-trauma needs seven days a week at the Feather River Health Center on lower Skyway in Paradise.
Adventist Health has always been innovative with access to health care, and their Telehealth program was established several years ago as a safe and convenient
way to meet with providers in all specialties without requiring the patient to travel out of the area to an appointment. To learn more about how to meet with your provider through a Virtual Visit, go to AdventistHealth.org/VirtualVisits. To sign up for the MyAdventistHealth patient portal, visit Adventisthealth.org/patientresources/myadventisthealth/ Rapid Care is open Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Feather River Health Center, 5125 Skyway, Paradise.

PARADISE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
PUSD overcame COVID-19 challenges for the 2020 school year By Tom Taylor Superintendent, Paradise Unified School District
O
n Sunday, March 15, 2020, Butte County Office of Education recommended that all Butte County schools close all in-person instruction effective Monday, March 16th. Instruction began with grade level packets for lower elementary grades and online learning through virtual classrooms for the upper grades. Teachers and staff instructed and modeled through remote platforms such as Zoom, FaceTime and Google Classroom. Teachers and staff employed creativity and innovation to conduct assessment and support students. A Distance Learning Portal and grading policy were developed to provide information and resources to parents, students, and staff during the mandated school closure orders and shelter-in-place order. PUSD reached out to all students and families; providing social and emotional support was a focus for PUSD teachers during regular check ins. PUSD Food Service launched “Meals on Yellow Wheels” starting the first day of the school closure. While “Grab and Go” breakfast, lunch and supper are served at Ridge schools, school buses deliver meals to bus stops in multiple cities: Magalia, Stirling City, Chico and Oroville. The summer food program will serve all children 18 years and younger. In the face of the significant obstacles imposed by COVID-19, PUSD Board of Trustees, Superintendent Taylor, Site Principals and all PUSD staff worked diligently to commemorate promotions and graduations for 6th through 12th graders. Creative solutions to enforce physical distancing
while celebrating and supporting student achievement led to the staging of memorable and unique vehicle-based ceremonies. Students were honored, photographed, and celebrated with their families, friends, and supporters. Paradise Unified School District heard the call from their families and did the vital work to make the best out of this COVID-19 situation and continues to work hard with the support and input from the community to get ready for this next school year.
What is in store for the PUSD 20-21 school year? As we begin the 20-21 school year, we are again heeding the call from our families to make every effort to reopen schools for their children. A committee comprised of parents, classified and certificated staff, and administrators has been formed with a goal of developing a plan to safely bring students and teachers back to the classroom, as well as plan for distance learning to support families who may not yet be ready to return. We know that none of these situations is ideal, but just as we have always done, we will work diligently for all of our families to create the best scenario possible for each child. While our community is faced with many challenges, we are looking forward to the future of Paradise Unified and how we can serve all of you. At the present time there are about 26 construction projects in multiple phases throughout our district. This exciting development process will unfold over the next four to eight years, resulting in state-of-the-art facilities for our students. Our two-year plan includes a new building at our Pentz Road school. This will include
The Paradise High School Gym is on the road to completion, slated to open in November 2020. This long-awaited gym is only one of the projected 26 construction projects in multiple phases throughout the district expected to unfold over the next four to eight years.
a cafeteria/gym, administration offices, and stage. Ridgeview will have a completely new school during the same time frame. Improvements at Pine Ridge and Cedarwood include new playgrounds, fencing, generators, and newly painted buildings. Building plans at the high school include the completion of the new gym (completion goal November 2020), 20 new classrooms, updated student cafeteria services, and many more. These as well as many other projects are in Phase
I and will take place over the next few years. As Phase I ends we will move into Phase II which will include modernizing all of the other buildings that are in need. Phase II will take place in three to eight years. Lots of work but exciting times! For questions or further information, email our site administrators scraft@ pusdk12.org, visit http://www.pusdk12. org/ or call (530) 872-6400. We will be happy to discuss how we can best serve your family.
Is there going to be a football season for Paradise? Absolutely!
Covering Many Driveline Needs
The 2020/21 Paradise High School Varsity Football team. These kids have been through hell and back since the fire; they are a testament to the importance of high school sports. While the fall season has yet to be determined, these kids are displaying determination and hard work at every practice in hopes of an exciting football season. By Jay Middleton, PHS Assistant Football Coach
A
s a Paradise High School coach, president of Junior Football and a 12u head coach, I can tell you we have been working endless hours pushing for us to have a season! Although there may be some restrictions, we will still move forward with our season. As of right now we can only speculate what these restrictions are going to be, but I can tell you that these kids will be playing football! As a former Paradise football player myself, I know how important it is to be on the field and around coaches that care for them, push them, discipline them and love
them. The experience gave me a work ethic that I carry with me to this day. These kids have been through hell and back since the fire and the least we can do is give them a football season! I know our varsity staff is always pushing hard for our football players because we understand these guys need support and understanding. Juggling sports and school is extremely hard. As president of Junior Football, I can tell you that our football board members are working around the clock trying to keep our season afloat. If we were able to do it after the fire, we will definitely rise above the pandemic and make this year work. “We are going to prepare as if we are playing week 1!” said Coach Prinz.

agalia Community Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, just secured a lease on the two recreation buildings at the corner of South Park and Andover Drive, including the main parking lot, and some green space for a picnic area. This location will now become the Magalia Community Center, answering a long standing call for a public meeting space in Magalia: a place for recreation, information, fundraisers and receptions (both public and private) and, in time, special events, programs and classes.
Rauen and numerous volunteers have spent several weeks doing fire clearance, weed whacking, pressure washing and preparing the property to open. The Community Center is just the start of a plan to eventually acquire the full 40 acres of land (the old golf

B&G Club responded to COVID-19 with curbside food distribution and mentoring By Alex Beehner Marketing and Community Engagement Director
Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley WHATEVER IT TAKES
F
or 25 years and through economic crises, tragedies and natural disasters, Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley (BGCNV) has been a constant in the lives of children and families in our communities. Because of the extensive school and workplace closures that took place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our region is facing unprecedented challenges. In response, BGCNV staff immediately reached out to all Club families to assess any immediate needs in order to determine what services would be the most helpful. Needs expressed included support with meals, groceries and mentoring with our staff. Staff worked with local officials and the USDA to safely implement curbside food distribution. Starting on March 30th, the BGCNV began providing local youth with up to 300 suppers and snacks each night to combat food insecurity. Those meals, made possible through the USDA Child Care Food Program, were available to all kids in need in Chico, Hamilton City, Oroville and on the Ridge. In addition, they continued their partnership with North State Food Bank to distribute fresh produce and partnered with Butte County First 5, United Way and the North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) to provide grocery gift cards to families with children. With the generous support of the NVCF and the Aaron Rodgers Camp Fire Relief Fund, Adventist Health Feather River, Paradise Host Lions Club and many more local supporters, the BGCNV served a total of 10,150 meals to youth.
Putting Kids First In true Boys & Girls Clubs fashion, they did not stop there! Recognizing the need to stay connected with Club members, staff hosted virtual mentoring sessions to check in with kids, and problem-solving ways to cope and thrive. Thanks to support from American Red Cross, NVCF, Anthem Blue Cross, Medi-Cal and other local partners, staff assembled program kits, created YouTube videos for virtual learning, and provided tablets for youth to use at home. Case management services and connecting with families continues to inform best support practices. Support progressed to re-opening the BGCNV summer camp, Camp Jamoa. BGCNV staff have prepared programs and managed all precautions to ensure Club members have a safe, fun and exciting summer! Planning is now underway for afterschool re-opening with adaptations for all the new regulations and requirements. The success of the BGCNV is driven by local support; none of these life changing programs would be possible without the investments of local organizations and donors. In addition, BGCNV is celebrating its 25th year of changing local kids’ lives. Please reach out to Alex Beehner via email at abeehner@ bgcnv.org or by phone at (530) 899-0335 to help the Club put kids first.
