group interested in revitalizing
Hayfork now has over 500 signatures, representing all groups in
town (business owners, youth, law enforcement, community activists,
residents, senior citizens, etc.). They will take this opportunity to
apply for a rehabilitation grant of approximately $2,000,000 through
The Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program.
They want to rehabilitate and expand these park amenities: Playground
area; Tennis and Basketball Courts; School House (community center);
Drinking fountains; Pool including a shade area; Re-envisioned
landscaping (native plants); Expand/rehabilitate other barbecue areas.
Do you have ideas on how to make our park a better, livelier place for
community? Here are suggestions received so far: They must create at
least two new recreational activities and are currently proposing a
skateboard park, a performing arts venue, amphitheater or a gazebo;
Exercise stops along pathways; Perimeter pathways with distance
markers, handicap accessible, linked to Eskaton and Roderick Senior
Center and perhaps partnered with H.E.S. for P.E. activity; Visual Arts
venue: public installation art space/covered kiosks with plexiglass for
2D pieces (student/adult art); Disc Golf course; Amenities (second
bathroom unit); Purchase two lots across from park: one for Farmer’s
Market – permanent cover on concrete slab, other for skatepark; reduce
“empty lot” syndrome along Main Street; walking/running trail along
Hayfork Creek linked to park. If you are interested in getting involved
in efforts to revitalize our community, attend meetings or email your
ideas and feedback to: Karl Fisher (Rotary) kfisher@afes.com; Susan
Weiss (Our Fair Share) sweiss@com-pair.net; Jeff Dickey (Park and

Hayfork has taken in a number of dogs that were abandoned near her
place. Some were starving and/or pregnant and may have been beaten.
Simone took them in, nursed them back to health, and has worked with
them. They are crate trained, will walk on a leash, and are friendly
with Simone.
However, some of the dogs may need some extra work and love. If you are
looking for a dog, are
experienced with dogs, and have room in your heart for a dog
that has had a rough life (before Simone), please call Simone at
530-628-5233. Please see Rescue
Dogs
for profiles and photos of 6 dogs available for adoption. If you
don't see a dog that appeals to you, call Simone, because there are
more dogs than those listed on this
page. There is no fee to adopt
any of these dogs, she just wants to find loving homes for them. Simone
is also looking for any dog rescue
organization who can take some of these dogs in. They need
socialization work that she is not trained to do. PLEASE
spay or neuter! RESCUE CATS: FREE friendly fixed cats, wormed, with rabies shots. With the help of Trinity County Animal Control Officer, Jamie and Fred Levitan and other local folks are catching stray cats in Hayfork. Haven Humane in Redding holds monthly Feral Cat Days.

Thinking about starting a food-related business but stymied because health regulations require a certified kitchen? Maybe you don’t have funds to purchase all the kitchen equipment upfront? If you are thinking about making and selling a food product such as jams, candy, cheese, smoked meats, or baked goods, be sure to attend one of these meetings. University of California Cooperative Extension for Trinity County is assessing the need for a certified or community kitchen here. Costs of commercial equipment and regulations are a common hurdle for small businesses. One practical solution used is to establish a “shared-use” community kitchen, where entrepreneurs can rent space and equipment for a specific period of time to produce their goods in a clean environment that meets food safety requirements. Shared-use community kitchens are also used for training. Many culinary arts programs use a commercial kitchen with adjacent dining room to teach students skills in food service industry. Kitchen could be rented by local cooks and bakers to offer cooking classes. First step for planning a community kitchen is to determine if there’s enough local interest and need. Are there small businesses who would rent facility? What type of equipment would they need? Is there enough rental income to cover operating costs and a part-time manager? With feedback from community, a business plan can be developed and grant funding sources identified. If you’re interested in learning more about a shared-use community kitchen please attend! Bring your ideas, questions and concerns. More info: contact Carol Fall, UC Cooperative Extension, at 623-3746, ext. 2 or cjfall@ucdavis.edu.

Last Saturday each month. See Complete Yoga Balance Schedule. SAT FEB 27: WEAVERVILLE - AMY SPEACE at Mamma Llama Coffeehouse at 8pm. Tickets $15/advance or $18/door. From Nashville, Amy Speace, a power-house of country rock, played before a full house at Joe's Pub in New York City on June 19, 2009. The singer/songwriter celebrated the upcoming release of her new album, The Killer in Me, and it is a winner, fitting right in between energetic pop-rock, and melancholy harmonies of country. At first glance, the perky and smiley Speace doesn't seem like a singer/songwriter fighting a recent heartache, but that's just what she accomplishes with her new album. "Her velvety, achy voice recalls an early Lucinda Williams. Sounding grounded but wounded, Speace exudes the vulnerability of someone who's loved and lost." - Alex Cohen, NPR.org.
