Fred Loveland of Redding won the Palo Cedro Chamber’s coveted Best in Show trophy for his 1934 white with purple trim Ford fourdoor sedan decked out with flags honoring the country’s veterans, including POWs and MIAs. Loveland uses his beautifully restored vehicle to support the POW MIA Chair of Honor program by displaying beside it at every show an empty folding chair inscribed with the following message: “YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. Since World War I more than 91,000 soldiers are unaccounted for. This unoccupied seat is dedicated to the memory of those brave men and women and to the sacrifice each made serving this country. We are all thankful. God Bless You. God Bless America.” Loveland, who has just moved to the North State from Mountain View, said he was glad to have found a purpose for exhibiting his car. “It’s not just about the car any more,” he said.

Junction Education Foundation’s “Taste for the Future” will take place this Friday, May 8th at the Ponderosa Ridge Ranch, 6145 Parkville Road in Anderson. Ten local breweries and wineries will be pouring samples of their products. Live music will be provided by string bands from the Old Time Fiddlers Association and catered fin- ger foods will tempt the palate. Patrons may bid for valuable prizes in both live and silent auctions. Tickets are $40 at the door, and all proceeds benefit Junction students. Whitmore Mountain Music Fair reminder Photos by Sharyn Cornelius The Gold Country Dancers kick up their heels to a classic rock tune played by the band "Kickin' It" at ACAWL's Bow Wow Luau on April 18. ACAWL hosts Bow Wow Luau Another Chance Animal Welfare League’s Bow Wow Luau on April 18, 2015 was a blast. We hope it will become an annual affair. The event featured start to finish entertainment led off by the beautiful and talented Hula Halau Kulikelaulani dancers. The six women and two girls performed numerous traditional Hawaiian dances to the soft melodies of the islands. Next to take to the dance floor were the Country Gold Dancers performing to the classic rock sounds of the band “Kickin’ It.” And these ladies don’t get tired! Even after their performance ended, they stayed to dance throughout the evening. The band played during the buffet supper, so many patrons hit the dance floor as soon as they finished eating the scrumptious meal prepared by ACAWL cooks under the direction of master chef Margaret Mullis, who cooked all the Huli Huli Chicken herself. The entertainers took a break while emcee Joey Ortez announced the winners of the paper bag raffles and auctioned off the delightful desserts, including a chocolate cake with mocha frosting displayed on a multipurpose cake stand/punch bowl. This cake fetched the highest bid of the evening and went for $40. The last entertainers of the evening were the Fire Festival Dancers, led off by a lovely belly dancer who performed a sensuous swan dance complete with two large wings. Then everyone repaired to the patio behind the Senior Center to watch the fire dancers who performed on the concrete with the Sacramento River for a backdrop. The Whitmore Mountain Music Faire will kick off at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 9th with a parade through the center of town. The craft faire and silent auction will start at 11:00 a.m. along with a performance by the first of four bands “The Old Kennett String Band.” They will be followed by “North Point” at 12:30 p.m. and the “Lindsay Thom- as Band” at 3:00. There will be games for young and old throughout the afternoon, then a dinner/dance with music by “Pranqster” beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the Community Center. ACAWL Mexican dinner set for May 16 Another Chance Animal Welfare League will celebrate its 10th anniversary on May 16, 2015 with an allyou-can-eat Mexican Dinner at the Grange Hall in Palo Cedro. The public is invited. The menu will feature all your Mexican favorites prepared by the ACAWL volunteers. Tickets are only available at the door. Cost is $10 for adults and $6 for children. Doors open_ at 4:00 p.m. and close at 7:00. Funky and Fun Biathlon set for May 24 The Palo Cedro Park will hold its first Funky and Fun Biathlon on Sunday, May 24, 2015. The event begins with the pedaling section of the twopart event—a pedal-powered parade. Riders will stage at Junction Elementary School at noon and pedal their way down Deschutes Road to Old Forty Four Drive and from thence to Cedro Lane and the Park. Entry fee is $5 for individuals and $20 for businesses (120 participants). Entrants are encouraged to decorate their pedal-powered vehicles as outlandishly as possible. Spectators should line the parade route to cheer on their favorite entries. At the park, entrants will take part in the second section of the Biathlon—the Fabulously Zany Relay Races. Event organizers guarantee you do not have to be athletic to be on a relay team, but a sense of humor is essential. Certificates will be awarded for wondrous accomplishments in six categories (to be determined). The Millville Grange will be cooking hot dogs and Polish dogs for lunch with a bake sale table for dessert. If they can figure out the logistics of keeping ice cream frozen at the park, they will also make root beer floats. The Park Board is seeking volunteer street monitors to keep the parade participants safe at the various street crossings along the parade route. Call 547-4907 if you would like to volunteer for this essential function. BVWD Board approves new service connection for Shasta College By Sharyn Cornelius The Board of Directors for the Bella Vista Water District on April 27, 2015 approved a new service connection for Shasta College that will allow the college to improve the fire flow and water pressure on the campus so that they can undertake some new construction projects. The new service connection includes linking the College’s existing main campus water system (served by an eight-inch meter) with the now separate Fire Training Center water system. This latter system was approved by the District in 1990 and is served by a 10-inch meter, but the Fire Training Center is limited to using two acrefeet of water per year during non-peak demand periods. Due to the system’s limited water usage, the District greatly reduced the capital improvement fee for the 10inch meter. Under the new service connection agreement, the College would replace the 10-inch meter with a sixinch size and pay the full capital improvement fee for a six-inch meter in the Main Zone ($449,350) minus credits for abandoning a no longer used two-inch meter ($41,560) and downsizing the 10-inch meter ($41,560) or $366,230. The new water system resulting from tying into the second feed into the campus and looping pipelines will improve the over hydraulics and peak day water pressure throughout the campus. George Estrada, representing Shasta College, thanked General Manager David Coxey and Engineer Don Groundwater for their help with the design of the project and said the new system will improve fire flow at every hydrant on campus and will be beneficial to both the College and the District. Director Leimone Waite abstained from the vote because she works for Shasta College. The Board of Directors also approved the District’s Urban Water Management Plan. In presenting the Plan Coxey said the main reason they had created it was to be eligible for grants from state water agencies when such became available. He said the state was offering lots of programs and incentives to promote conservation and use of recycled water to help cities reach Gov. Schwarzenegger’s goal of a 20 percent water use reduction by 2020. District customer Arnold Wilhelmi asked how folks had been notified about the public hearing on the Urban Water Management Plan, and Coxey replied it had been noticed in the Record Searchlight and on the District website. He said the Plan has very little to do with the daily operation of the District and would only be controversial if it involved the adoption of a new water shortage contingency plan, which is does not. Another audience member asked if the District had any grant funded projects in mind, and Don Groundwater answered that they would probably apply for state money if they needed to drill a new well. The Board voted to move its regular May meeting date from the 25th to the 18th to avoid the Memorial Day Holiday. Grange concert showcases gifted pros, talented newcomers EAST VALLEY TIMES LOCAL NEWS PAGE 2—May 7, 2015 By Sharyn Cornelius Two of the most enjoyable things about attending the monthly roots music concerts put on by the California Old Time Fiddlers Association at the Millville Grange are seeing the regular musicians try out new skills they’ve been learning and witnessing first-time performances by up-and-coming artists. The concert and open mic session on April 26, 2015 provided many examples of both. The concert band this month was an un-named gathering of five musicians—Lee Brushett, George Fredson, Lloyd Raeg, Kay Nichols and Al Meyers--from several different Association bands brought together for the occasion by concert organizer Fredson. They played like they had been practicing together for months and even performed a brand new song that none of the regulars in the audience had heard before—Moe Bandy’s “Too Old to Die Young.” In the next number, the familiar “The Old Home Place,” Lloyd Raeg sang in harmony to the three other vocalists, adding a beautiful dimension to this crowd favorite. As if that weren’t enough, both George Fredson and Al Meyers showed off their flat-picking skills in brief solo breaks. It was the first time we had heard flatpicking from Meyers, while Fredson has been picking for months now. Meyers has also been sharing his powerful baritone voice with us for the last two concerts and this time not only sang his theme song “Wabash Cannonball,” but “The Tennessee Waltz” as well. After the audience’s loud applause for the second number Meyers joked, “Don’t just clap, throw money! No seriously, I’ll play for free, but I’ll stop for cash.” When the group performed the haunting “Ook Pik Waltz” requested by a member of the audience, Lee Brushett played the entire melody on his mandolin, an instrument seemingly invented for that piece.

Thrift Store Manager Joyce Darrow gratefully accepted the contributions on behalf of ACAWL. Pictured in the photo above are Katelyn, Kanalei, Anna, Ava, Caroline, and Mrs. Masulis. Another Chance also received a generous donation from the members of Cub Scout Pack 381 in Palo Cedro who "worked very hard collecting food and toys for the animals," according to Darrow. The children and adults who delivered the contributions to the Thrift Store on April 18 were Dezi, Shelly, Elly, Mason, Elija, Logan, Mike, Sandy and and Teresa.

Wheel,” Raeg demonstrated another new skill he has been learning—banjo playing. We look forward to more. The Open Mic session which followed saw teen flat-picking sensation Jacob Akana and master of the mandolin Tom Spence join Fredson for a couple of numbers. Like Meyers, Akana is beginning to feel comfortable singing as well as playing guitar and treated the audience to a new humorous song he had just learned called “Fifteen Cents.” It is about a man who wants a refund on the amount he paid a preacher to marry him to his unfaithful wife. Next to perform were newcomers Lily and Cheryl Dummer, a mother/daughter duo with stunningly beautiful soprano voices. Cheryl told the audience she was just learning to play the banjo so she performed the first song in her book “Boiling Cabbage Down,” while Lily sang and danced to the music. They also sang the beautiful hymn “Shepherd of My Soul” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” We hope they will return soon with more songs in their repertoire. The third Open Mic performers were regulars Diana Kelly on accordion and John Tiedeman on mandolin and guitar accompanied by bassist Len Bunyard. Each time this duo brings us at least one tune no one had heard before, and this time the performed two songs new to me, at least. The fourth performers were Kathy DuBois and Josie Argent whose voices blending in close harmony is always a pleasure to listen to, and this time they added a complex counterpoint melody as well when they sang “I Lily and Cheryl Dummer sing a duet of the him "Shepherd of My Soul."

Goals for the Palo Cedro Design Review Ordinance The overarching goal of the Palo Cedro Design Review Ordinance is to maintain the town’s rural and rustic appearance and ambiance that reflects its history as a ranching community, where some of the first buildings were the Grange Hall with its feed store, a general store near the railroad tracks (where Cedro Lane is now), and a one room schoolhouse called Junction because the town grew up around the intersection of Old Forty-four Drive and Deschutes Road. A second goal is to reduce potential adverse impacts of future development on surrounding land uses, particularly on adjacent residential neighborhoods. To this end the Palo Cedro Design Review Ordinance will recommend the use of visual/noise/privacy buffers between new commercial development and existing residential subdivisions. To maintain the appearance of a rural, ranching community, the Design Review will recommend the following architectural design standards: 1) a maximum building size of 10,000 square feet, 2) a maximum height of two stories (one story preferred) 3) a peaked roof with eaves and full-length front porch or portico, 4) large windows on the side facing the street. 5) The exterior materials should be a) brick, rock, wood, or stucco, not metal siding; b) the colors should be earth-tones or pastels. 6) Buildings should be suitably sized for the site and placed to the rear of the parcel with landscaping and parking in front. a) Landscaping should include both evergreen and deciduous trees, large enough to provide shade when full-grown, interspersed with small shrubs and flowers. b) Every attempt must be made to preserve mature oak trees on the building site and if one must be removed, it should be replaced with two oak saplings. c) Parking should include mostly fullsize spaces to accommodate pick-up trucks. 7) Signs should be a) on the building and interior lit, b) monument style, interior lit, also in muted colors, c) no pole signs, no flashing signs, no inflated stick-figures. The Committee would be interested in your answers to the following questions: 1. Do you think a Design Review Ordinance is needed? Why or why not? 2. Do you agree with the goal to keep the look of Palo Cedro rural and rustic? 3. Do you agree with the suggested architectural standards? 4. Are their particular standards you don’t agree with? 5. Are there additional standards you would like to see? 6. Would you like to see more landscaping and trees in Palo Cedro? 7. Are their other problems that need to be addressed in a Design Review Ordinance? Owens Pharmacy in Palo Cedro held its grand opening on April 29, 2015, bringing in its Barbecue Team and serving a free tri tip lunch to over 600 people between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Everyone who attended was issued an Owens Healthcare Discount Card which can be used at any Owens location for savings on over-the-counter medications, prescriptions and medical equipment not covered by insurance. Marketing Representative Adam Wilson said fifty-two people transferred their prescriptions to Owens Pharmacy during the grand opening and 100 more asked for a representative to call them at home where they would have their prescription information available. "We had a lot of people tell us how excited they were that we were here and how they will be transferring to us when they need their prescriptions refilled." Board approves new safety clothing for firefighters Millville Fire Protection District Chief Tom Graham reported to the Board of Directors on April 13, 2015 that the volunteers had repaired the water tender in-house instead of taking it to Rochlitz, saving the District all the anticipated labor costs. Graham also reported that the new doors for the fire hall had actually cost $400 less than the price he had been given. But then he reported that some of the money saved needed to go for new safety clothing for the firefighters because some of the older the turnout coats and pants were ripped so badly they couldn’t be repaired. The four new coats will cost $1009, while the four pairs of pants will cost $742. Graham also requested that the Board approve the purchase of a new pager so the department would have a spare for when someone needed to have his pager repaired. He said his own pager was currently “going haywire,” but he was reluctant to send it off for repairs because it would mean he would be without one for a couple of days. The Board checked to be sure there was money in the “Communications” account, then authorized Graham to purchase an extra pager. The Chief reported that the volunteer firefighters had responded to 10 calls in March—five medical aids, four structure fires and one smoke check. email: Judy@eastvalleytimes.com Display advertising phone/fax: 549-3340 Bonnie Mark, Don Kirk, Patricia Wellingham-Jones, Bob Williams, Jeri Johnson, Frank Galusha, Lynn Guinn Public notices phone: (530)725-0925 (Intermountain News) The Palo Cedro Civic Association, formed several months ago in response to the Rite Aid and Dollar General projects proposed for Palo Cedro, appointed a committee to work on drafting a proposal for a Design Review Ordinance that would set standards for new buildings constructed in the town center. The Design Review Committee has held two meetings with Planning Division leadership and has come up with general goals and design standards that Interim Director Bill Walker described as “fairly conservative, not over-reaching or too limiting.” At this point in their work, the Committee needs input from Palo Cedro residents and property owners.
