Greenbelt Update
by Terry Wild
May was a very productive month compared to June.
In June, both our splitters broke down. One is over
30 years old and the other is a Husky that has had 2
motors replaced within 4 years and 1 on the way.
Also, a malfunction in an electrical connection on
our chipper brought us to a GRINDING halt in June.
One of our Greenbelt trucks, a 95 Ford 150, that
looks like a rolling junk yard (I know you’ve all seen it as it rolled by
your houses) is about to be replaced in July. In the mean time, I guess
we’ll be doing a lot of sawing, as our chainsaws are all still operational.
In the summer months, we’ll be restricting our work to areas void of dry
grass, as we try to avoid starting fires caused by hot catalytic converters
and sparks from chain saws. As always, we’re looking for a few good
men/women to join us on the Greenbelt on Mondays and Thursdays
from 8:15am to 11:30 am. We meet at garage behind the POA Recreation hall. Work at your own SPEED/SPEED/SPEED! Donuts at Dolly
O’s afterwards. Schools out, watch out for children. Also, watch out for
OLD CODGERS walking across the street to get their mail.
Trails Group
by Wade Killingsworth
Thanks to all those who attended the seventh annual
Trails Open House and a special thank you to Roger
and Helen Ekins for their presentation. Roger and
Helen showed and discussed images taken from the
trails that they have added to their new edition of
“The Flumes and Trails of Paradise: Hiking through
History on The Ridge.” This new edition is 40%
larger than the original and we have it on sale for
$25 – that is an 8% discount from what you would pay at a retail establishment. You may purchase one from me contact me by email –
[email protected]. Part of the profit from the sales will go towards
improving trails in our greenbelt. The remainder of the profit will go to
Roger and Helen and then they distribute the funds to various charities.

by Melanie McClure
Well, in my last month’s article I wrote that we hoped
to have a big crowd for the Courtyard Grand Opening/
Luau. Boy did we ever ! We estimate that about 250
people attended and we sold 130 meals. That’s a
success in my book! The Revells were great and even
our General Manager, Ray Villar, sounded pretty good
when he sang La Bomba with the band. Thank you to
everyone that worked so hard to make the event a
success.
Now, for our Concert in the Courtyard. Another fun night of live music,
dancing and good food. We didn’t have quite as big a crowd as the Luau
but my estimate would be around 150 in attendance. Maybe more, since
we sold 120 dinners. If you didn’t come to the concert, you really missed
out. Stillwater Savage played some great country and rock music and the
dance floor was packed. Our next Concert in the Courtyard is July 10
featuring Looking 4 Eleven. They are another great local band and it will
be another fun night.
Sign up your team for the Horseshoe Tournament on July 18. If all goes
well, this will be an annual event.
Kid’s Fun Day is Saturday, August 8. This year will be bigger and
better than last year with more bounce houses, games, food and

Thomas “Tom” Berryman
Member at Large, POA Board of Directors 2012-2013
Secretary, POA Board of Directors 2013-2015
Why do you want to be a Director?: I have always been suppor tive of community, char ity, and countr y, usually with a checkbook in my wor king life. Now
retired, I have time to actively participate. Serving on the Architectural Control Committee has gained me a number of friends, some of whom have told me that they think
I would be an asset to the Board and would contribute well in deliberations.
Qualifications: I ser ved in the US Navy for ten year s training pilots, navigator s, and r adar men in a number of fields: flight and emer gency pr ocedur es, celestial
and radio navigation, and aviation physiology.
I left the Navy to become a field service technician with IBM for 18 years, managing customer service needs at computer installations and earned an Associate of Arts
degree in Computer Science at night.
I moved on to instructing in the computer industry, transitioned to course development, then technical writing for a variety of industries: document imaging, medical
record management, warehouse center automation, banking services automation, and robotic radiation dosage planning for cancer treatment.
After retiring and moving to Magalia, I volunteered to help out in elections and was appointed as an Inspector, charged with supervising a precinct in Paradise for the next
6 years.
Besides serving on the board these last three years, I have served on the POA Architectural Control Committee for eight years, once as a chairman and twice as a Vice
Chairman. I have many friends and acquaintances within the POA whom I can draw on for advice when required.
Goals: To br ing a fr esh and unique per spective to Boar d deliber ations, dr awing on my education and wide var iety of obser vations and exper iences. I have been
asked to continue on the Board by a number friends and acquaintances and will gladly serve in another term. I have enjoyed serving with the current Board and would
enjoy remaining with them should I be privileged to be elected to a second full term.
Jamie Ramey
Why do you want to be a Director?: To br ing mor e family activities.
Qualifications: I was on the Boar d for pr eschool to help plan events., and Chair for Mom’s Fun Gr oup. I’m a stay at home mom with time to
plan events. I worked and volunteered at the POA for many years.
Goals: I would like to see mor e family activities. It’s time for a change! It’s time to get younger , it’s time to get cr eative! The staff has star ted
this journey and now it’s time for us to finish it. It’s time to get out of your houses and enjoy what you’re already paying for.
I am very familiar with the POA ins and outs. I have worked with multi million dollar companies and can make some great changes for you at the POA.
Russell A. Moore Sr.
Why do you want to be a Director?: I r eally DO NOT want to be Dir ector unless we can have at least thr ee other like minded people. I am
only going for the position to help give the POA back to the people and reduce dues and end permit fees. If WE do not change the POA to help people, instead of fine them then I say, we do not need the POA.
Qualifications: I was r aised all ar ound the wor ld. I have lived in other countr ies and know what they live with on a daily basis. I wor ked a car eer in the Oilfields
of So. Cal. Before moving here. I volunteer at many churches and in the community. I served our country in 1996, 97’, and 98’. I am now an ACC Board Member, but
think more good can be done as Director. I continue to volunteer and help out in our community today.
Goals: I would like to see dues r educed. I would like to see the dues of the people that do not use the POA pool or buildings be cu t in half. I would like to see
fees for permits gone! If you have to get a permit from the county, why should you get one from the POA!?! I want the rights of the members of the POA given back to
the people. Would you like to know that the POA is not taking pictures of you in your backyard? I would! The buses of this POA need to stop!

Members of the public safety committee recently attended a meeting held by the Magalia-Paradise Community Watch Association (MPCWA).
Marcellus Salazar and others have been instrumental toward forming as well as committing to the success of this excellent program. The PPPOA and the
Public Safety Committee fully support Marcellus and stand by the MPCWA in the worthy associations efforts now and in the future.
Why a Neighborhood Watch Program?
In recent years, neighborhoods have experienced rapid change. The old, well established neighborhoods have been replaced by a highly transient,
growing community where people seek more and more privacy. This life-style tends to promote unfamiliarity with neighbors and a corresponding
degree of apathy. Unfortunately, this situation enhances the opportunity for the criminal element and increases the communities vulnerability to crime.
Correcting this situation is one of the main objectives of a Neighborhood Watch Program.
What is a Neighborhood Watch Program?
Neighborhood Watch is crime prevention program which enlists the active participation of residents in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce
crime in their communities. The program involves the joint efforts of the sheriffs department and the community and is designed to enhance
neighborhood security.
What is involved in a Neighborhood Watch Program?
First, neighbors must get to know one another and work together in a program of mutual assistance. Second, residents must be trained to recognize and
report suspicious activities in their neighborhoods. Third, members of the neighborhood must implement crime techniques such as a home security.
What are the goals of a Neighborhood Watch Program?
The main objective of Neighborhood Watch is to reduce the incidence of crime in our neighborhoods. This purpose is met by increasing the awareness
of burglary and other neighborhood crime through a continuing program of information. Training citizens is another factor useful to the success of the
program. Training neighborhood members in the methods of better property security and assisting them in making their property more secure are
essential elements of Neighborhood Watch. Development of a neighborhood action program where neighbors help watch each other’s property and
report suspicious activity to law enforcement agencies is another vital objective of a Neighborhood Watch Program. Finally, the encouragement of all
citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies is an elemental goal necessary to the success of Neighborhood Watch.
How does one start a Neighborhood Watch Program?
Those interested in forming a Neighborhood Watch Program within the PPPOA are encouraged to contact Marcellus Salazar via
(530) 327-8737 or Paula Felipe, Butte County Coordinator for Neighborhood Watch (530) 538-7822.
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Public Safety Committee is encouraged to attend the next PPPOA Board Meeting for
further details.

Magalia Beautification Assoc.
by Joyce Simmons
While working in our gardens, we sometimes are asked what type of plant
is putting on a beautiful display at the given point. Most of the plants in the
MBA gardens are Perennials that generally live for three years or more,
many will die back at the end of summer and form new shoots after a
dormant period, each has it’s time to shine. One such plant is Coreopsis,
they are valued for their daisy like flowers in the shades of gold or yellow,
are easily grown and a native to North America. They look striking with
Shasta Daisies, love full sun and will grow in poor soil but be forewarned,
they need a lot of “dead heading” to keep them looking so lovely. While
we’re at it, the term “dead-head” refers to remove dead flowers, with twofold aim of tidying up the plant and preventing it wasting energy in unwanted seed.
Another plant of interest is Lychnis, a hardy, old fashioned garden flower,
tolerant of poor soil, grows 2-3 feet high, with silver hairy leaves and
stems, and has scarlet flowers. There is a white variety as swell. I think the
plant we get the most questions about has to be the Matilija Poppy. The
spectacular plant grows to 8ft, or more, stems and leaves are gray green,
white flowers up to 9 in. wide, 5 or 6 petals with texture of crepe paper surround round mass of golden stamens. Blooms May—July, a native to
Southern California, it’s very difficult to propagate but can be invasive
when established. True, we have to keep a firm hand on this beauty, it is a
hog of sorts and we cut nearly to the ground in late fall. Some refer to it as
the “fried egg plant”. Next month we can look at some of the ornamental
grasses in our gardens.
Book Club
by DonnaDrickey
Selection for review on June 13th was The Spirit Catches Y ou and Y ou Fall Down
(Fadiman). There were similar reactions to this non-fiction book about medical
treatment in California and its effect on a Hmong family. Barbara Peltola and Norma Allen both expressed feelings of being judgmental about the fact that these immigrants did not understand or learn our language or culture, even when they were
in need of medical assistance for a child suffering with grand mal seizures of
epilepsy.
John Cecil, Elizabeth Brown and Betty Vandergrift did find many parts repetitious
but felt the historical section lent insight into the Hmong culture and beliefs. Vi
Timmer felt concerned over these people of Laos who were nomadic farmers and
had been promised land here in the U.S. in exchange for fighting with us in the Viet
Nam war. They were brought over by our government and large groups placed in
many areas that did not even offer access to farming. It was noted, however, that at
least in our state many were able, in time, to farm and now provide local vegetables
and fruits
Barbara, Donna Drickey, and John all found it a difficult book due to repeated instances and did not finish reading it. Donna provided the snack of a lemon/lime
bundt cake during the break.
Recent other reads by members included John Cecil who finished The Martian, as
well as biographies, Becoming Steve Jobs (Schlender /Tetzeli) and Tesla
(Carlson). Betty is reading The Girl on the Train (Hawkins) and enjoyed Dennis
Lehane’s The Given Day. Nor ma shar ed a book. Odd Otis (Hiatt), about a dog,
deaf and blind, found and taken care of by a Magalia couple. The book is available
locally at Kathy’s book store in Paradise.
Vi Timmer found The Girls of Atomic City (Kiernan) fascinating and interesting as
it covered the workers at Oak Ridge Tennessee who were not aware that their work
was on the atomic bomb. She is also reading Nightingale (Hannah) about the relaWe celebrated our 18th birthday last month at a luncheon hosted by MBA
