Shingletown Medical
Center celebrates 30
years in operation
By Patti Allison
The Shingletown Medical Center along with Owen’s Pharmacy put on a Birthday Party and Hoedown that the entire
community was able to enjoy. Along with sponsorships from
Owen’s, Redding Subaru and Shasta Regional this was a party
that will not soon be forgotten. The team from Owen’s served
up over 750 tri tip dinners that everyone raved about and Q97’s
“Billy and Patrick” were there broadcasting live. Members
from the Shingletown Counsel were also involved with helping
cook hot dogs for the kids.
The entire event was free to the public and there were activities for all ages. The SMC staff handed out cowboy hats, sheriff
badges and oversized mustaches, so the little ones looked the
part when trying to rope the cows head, along with other fun
kid’s games. Jennifer’s Face Painting booth was a huge success
painting horses and stars on children and adults.
Palomino Armstrong with “Chilly Pepper Miracle Mustang
Equine Rescue” brought her newest rescue foal, “Cowboy,” for
everyone to pet and whinny with. Luke Lucas with his “Paint
Free… Be Free” set-up allowed kids and adults to paint freely
on the 16 ft. display boards. Photographer, Jeannine Hendrickson, who was the photographer for “Dancing with the Stars” in
Redding was on hand taking western themed photos of families
and friends.
The fun really kicked up when “Wild Bill Hickok” rode up
on his Arabian horse and trotted through the crowd. “Wild Bill”
otherwise known as Dr. Lydon, the local Shingletown veterinarian, rode in the Western State Endurance Race known as the Tevis Cup, which is a 100 mile ride from Truckee to Auburn. Dr.
Lydon rode it in 19 hours and came in 28th out of 200 starters.
Shingletown’s soon-to-be-famous “Stage 44 Players” put on
a hilarious cowboy slap stick skit “Me and Bubby McGee” that
had the entire crowd laughing and clapping. Then the dancing
started; Luane Miller had children and adults square dancing
and Shirley Bates instructed a big crowd, which included Sheriff Tom Bosenko, in two line dancing songs that had the crowd
in stitches.
The evening wound down with the staff and children singing
“Happy Birthday to Us” and blowing out the candles on their

Palo Cedro windmill faces destruction, too tall to move
By Sharyn Cornelius
Only 10 people showed
up for the emergency meeting
on the fate of the Palo Cedro
Windmill called by Chamber
President Joey Ortez on
Friday afternoon. Ortez
was clearly disappointed by
the turnout, recalling that
when she had called a public
meeting last year after first
learning that construction of
the proposed Rite Aid store
in the Palo Cedro Village
Shopping Center would mean
the destruction of the iconic
windmill building, everyone
seemed to want to save it.
But now that its destruction
is imminent (shopping center
owner Jim Owens told her he
plans to begin demolition in
November) very few folks
seems to be interested in
trying to save it.
Ortez explained that the
Greater Palo Cedro Area
Chamber of Commerce
looked into moving the
windmill to property on Plaza
Drive across State Route 44
from where it is now located.
She said the owner of the
property was willing to lease
it to the Chamber, and Stotts
and Sons Movers gave them
an estimate of $20,000 to
A former Park director
Ray Toney emailed a plea
to the Park Board prior
to the meeting, imploring
them not to “get caught up
in this fantasy of putting
the windmill in the park. It
serves no real purpose for our
park,” he wrote. “We can’t
afford the cost of maintaining
[it]; we don’t have the
infrastructure required by
our current use permit to
have any structures; and
the time and cost of getting
the necessary permits is a
diversion to proceeding with
our park development.”
Public Works Director Pat
Minturn, who lives in Palo
Cedro and has been involved
in the development of the
Park since the beginning,
said that since the Park is
in County Service Area #8,
the Board could apply to
hook into the sewer system

this cost several thousand
dollars, it would take several
months, and time is short.
Ortez said she thought
that Owens would hold off
on his demolition plans if she
had someone who wanted
the windmill, but she noted
that moving it onto the Park
property would be difficult
because of the Park’s iron
fence and arched gateway. At
forty feet tall, the windmill
is too big to pass under the
arch, and though it could be
moved in through the south
gate, it would have to be
located on that triangular
piece of land because it is
separated from the rest of
the Park by an intermittent
waterway.
Locating the
windmill there is problematic
because the Park has already
built its playground on part
of that triangle, and the most
of the land to the south of
the waterway is needed for
a parking lot. There is no
room for the windmill there.
By the end of the
meeting most of those in
attendance understood that
the difficulties in moving
the windmill and the costs of
setting it up in a new place,
will probably doom it to
destruction.

Shasta Historical Society
partners with local tribes
to celebrate Indigenous
People’s Day
Oct 17
By Kara McClure
Mark your calendars:
Saturday, October 17, 2015,
is Indigenous People’s Day.
The Shasta Historical Society is partnering with representatives from local tribes
to commemorate indigenous
history. This free program
includes a street fair in front
of the Cascade Theatre in
Downtown Redding and a
presentation in the Cascade
Theatre entitled “Beedi Yalumina: Never Give Up,” that
honors the men and women
who worked to keep their
cultures alive as the world
around them drastically
changed.
Enjoy food, music, powwow dancers, information
booths, and tribal vendors
at the fair from 11:00 am to
5:00 pm. Everyone is encouraged to come spend the
day in Downtown learning
the history of our county’s
indigenous people.
The Shasta Historical
Society program begins at
1:30 pm inside the Cascade
Theatre, with doors opening at 1:00 p.m. The special
presentation will give an introduction into the history
of each of the tribes through
the lives of important histor-
ical figures. Also included
will be a prayer for the absorbed tribal bands that are
no longer able to represent
themselves.
This program is made
possible thanks to the
Shasta Historical Society’s
community partners: Viva
Downtown, Jefferson Live,
Shasta County Arts Council, and local indigenous
groups.
The Shasta Historical Society was formed on January 18, 1930. Over the years
the organization’s mission
evolved to better serve the
community of Shasta County by actively working to
promote and communicate
local history. Today, the
Shasta Historical Society
serves as the largest non-university center for historical
research in California north
of Sacramento. In addition
to maintaining the research
library, the Shasta Historical
Society is active in the local
community, hosting various free events throughout
the year. The Shasta Historical Society also produces
the annual publication, The
Covered Wagon. For more

Historical Society, visit shastahistorical.org.

Millville volunteers keep
equipment running well
Fire Chief Tom Graham
reported to the Millville Fire
Protection District Board of
Directors on Sept. 14, 2015
that between the last meeting
and this one, the volunteers
had fixed all the apparatus
problems that came up
“without any big expenses.” At the Weaverville fire
the District’s water tender
suffered a twisted drive line,
but they got it operational
again. Its water pump broke
down at the Mill Fire in
Oak Run, but they fixed that
problem too, and replaced
the starter on another
vehicle. The only large
expense they incurred was
the $4000 they spent to buy
eight tires for Engine 521.
The Board approved
the purchase of a new copy
machine for Station 21 after
Graham and Administrative
Officer Mike Miille both
reiterated their concern that
it would be too expensive to
use the inkjet printer/copier
to run the number of copies
needed by the department in
a month. Graham said he
had found the sort of copier
they needed at Costco for
only $300. The Board gave
him the okay to buy it.
The Millville volunteers
had a busy month in August
with 22 calls—14 medical
aids, five vegetation fires,
one structure fire, one
smoke check, one traffic
collision and three out of
district fires.
Watermaster Board reviews DWR Budget
By Sharyn Cornelius
The Shasta Tehama
Watermaster
District
Board of Directors met
on Sept. 21, 2015 to
review the Department of
Water Resources budget
for watermaster services
to water rights holders
diverting from streams
within
the
District’s
boundaries. The District
was formed several years
ago to take over providing
watermaster services for
five watersheds in Shasta
and Tehama Counties—
Burney
Creek,
Hat
Creek, Cow Creek (which
includes
North
Cow
Creek, Oak Run Creek,
and Clover Creek), Digger
Creek, and the North Fork
of Cottonwood Creek.
At the time the
District was formed,
the DWR fees for
watermaster service were
spiraling upward with
no end in sight, so water
rights holders statewide
petitioned the Legislature
to allow them to create
local districts to provide
them with watermaster
service so they could gain
control over runaway
costs. But since the Shasta
Tehama
Watermaster
District has been perusing
the DWR budgets every
year to decide when it
would be cost effective to
petition the court to take
over providing the service,
the DWR has managed to
keep costs down, which
was true of the 2015-2016
Budget as well.
The 2015-2016 Budget
showed that costs to water
rights
holders
within
the District will remain
fairly
consistent
next
year compared to last
year. For water users on
Burney Creek, the amount
to be billed will actually
go down by $100, from
$20,200 to $20,100. For
Hat Creek, the amount
billed will increase from
$80,600 to $81,200. For
Cow Creek, the amount
billed will increase from
$100,400 to $102,600.
(Cow Creek has many
more diversions than the
other four areas, so costs
more to service.)
For
Digger Creek, the amount
billed will increase from
$31,700 to $33,000; and
for NF Cottonwood Creek,
it will increase from
$21,100 to$22,100.
The three directors
present at the meeting—
Shannon Wooten, Abe
Hathaway,
and
Mark
Bidwell—all said that
watermaster services for
the areas they represent
had
improved
with
the hiring of two new
watermasters—Danny
Cervantes for the Burney/
Hat Creek Area and Ira
Alexander for the Cow
Creek Area, so there was
no need to petition the
court in order to provide
better service; and the
District’s current figures
showed that it could only
equal the DWR’s costs, not
better them. “Their price
hasn’t jumped in a long
time,” Hathaway said.
“And folks are happy, so
no one would want to pay
any more.”
UC
Extension
representative
Larry
Ferero observed, “Perhaps
the fact that you are
looking at the DWR
budget every year may
be more influential than
you know.
When you
were ready to go to court
in 2013, that’s when their
costs started dropping.”
Millville Grange to host annual Turkey Dinner
The
Millville
Grange will hold its
annual Turkey Dinner
to raise money for
scholarships for local
high school seniors on
Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015.
Serving will start at 4:00
p.m. and end at 7:00. Menu
includes roasted turkey,
gravy, dressing, mashed
potatoes, green beans, and
rolls, with homemade pies,
cakes and cobblers for
dessert. Cost is only
$10 for adults and $5 for
children under 12. To-go
boxes will be available.
There will also be a
raffle for a Thanksgiving
basket.
Home Cookin’ Supper pleases patrons,
raises funds for homeless animals
The happy volunteers
of Another Chance Animal
Welfare League served 63
adults and one child at their
Home Cookin’ Dinner at the
Grange Hall on Saturday,
September 19th ; and even
though attendance was
lower than at last year’s
dinners which saw crowds of
over 100, the fundraiser still
brought in $1041 because
all the food and lots of the
supplies are donated by the
volunteers.
ACAWL’s talented cooks
outdid themselves this time.
There were almost too may
delicious dishes to choose
from, and when one pot
was emptied, volunteers
would go get another.
Many patrons went back
for seconds or thirds. There
were also many luscious
desserts to choose from, but
the most popular seemed
to be Reggie Ceehorn’s
“Junkyard Cookies,” hot
from the oven.
Many of the diners also
bought tickets for the 18
item raffle, which featured
a bread machine and an
electric blanket and brought
in an additional $405. All
proceeds will go toward
animal care.
ACAWL’s next dinner
fundraiser will be at the
Grange Hall in Palo Cedro
on Oct. 17, a benefit for the
Assisi Sanctuary spay and
neuter fund. It will feature
German and American
dishes, including lots of

Dash” read a celebration of

tell you about Vivian’s dash,
between the time she arrived
on this earth and the time she
departed.
Vivian was born April 2,
1933 to Daniel Granvil and
Beatrice Marie Hunt when
the family was living on their
lower ranch, formerly owned
by Vivian’s Great Grandfather
Paul Heryford. It was located
on the banks of Clover Creek
upstream from the town of
Millville.
Vivian was welcomed
home from the hospital by the
earlier arrivals: Daniel William “Bill” (Nov. 18, 1924),
Flora Nelda “Sissy” (December 27, 1925), Elsie Marie
“Ree” (July 1, 1927), Harry
Clemens “Bobo” (Sept. 19,
1928), and John Ehmen “Pat”
(March 17, 1931). These
nicknames came about when
each baby arrived home and
siblings could not pronounce
their names. Vivian became
“Bim,” and Mom Bea called
her Bim most of the time.
Vivian looked like a doll and
we treated her like one.
Some months later the
family moved to their other ranch further up Clover
Creek, formerly known as the
Webb Place, and two more babies (both boys) were born—
Nathaniel on July 13, 1934
and Arthur on Dec. 8, 1935.
